The Bitches are sipping some Hot Cider supplied to them by the Hubs and enjoying the height of Spooky Season. Our witchy ladies are powered up, so be afraid, be very afraid. Daniel is still wandering about DC like he’s in a reflective montage at the end of a Nancy Meyers movie. And just like Diane Keaton he finds himself in a Korean spa- thankfully with no jack Nicholson. Max is not so relaxed, but then again, when is he? It’s probably something to do with being a non-drinker made to sit in one of DC’s many terrible bars. What's a gal got to do to get some service here? Certainly not the bar tender. Then the Besties discuss the culture moment they never saw coming and likely nor did you, Lily Allen’s new album West End Girl. We eagerly sip on the piping hot tea and discuss what this means for pop music as female artists stop pulling the punches. Cheers!

The Bitches are about to bunker down for the weekend as Fall weather brings cooler temps and the sudden urge to snuggle. Plus with Howard University celebrating their homecoming it’s the perfect excuse to sit down and talk shit about culture. Daniel continues to work the shutdown to his advantage, and by advantage he means tormenting his parents with fear he’s converting religions. Max returns from a weekend Philly for a weekend of soccer and babies that would have left his younger self very confused. Are the suburbs calling or are DC gays just that exhausting. Then the Besties ask the question, if four men can break into the Louvre, then why can’t we find one to text them back? Daniel falls back on old habits and educates Max and our lovely audience on all the shenanigans occurring at the Louvre. Cheers!

The Bitches find themselves in a moment of transition, the cooler weather is rapidly coming and sweaters are needed. Quick!?! Where is the pashmina? The cable knit? The ribbed turtle neck? Do we need Kurt Russel to come in and sort out our closets? Daniel claims he’s doing well with everything going on in the world, even though he’s taken to wandering around cemeteries. If you have an opinion on this he’d love to hear about it….in Hell. Max contemplates the naughty things he wants to do with the incredibly flexible Pierre, maybe filling him with plenty of sausage..uncut..…savory…..round… girthy.. What? We’re talking about a sour dough starter and some sausage rolls, what did you think we were talking about? Perverts. Then the Besties discuss the only topic that they hoped they would never have to, the passing of their patron saint, Diane Keaton. The pair take a moment to swap their favorite movie moments, the impact her unique style has had on the cultures, and whether they need to reconsider their branding. Not a chance, so cheers Diane, and thank you!

The Bitches are putting out this podcast just to prove that they are still alive in a move that is peak 2025. We’ve even got Reba and Dolly to back up our claims! Daniel continues to navigate the Government Shut Down by making the most of the free time and working on the culture that is important to him. Sure, he's going to a lot of cemeteries but please stop reading too much into that, it’s because he can’t find a Debenhams. Max decides to explore some southern hospitality in the south as he and the family explore Richmond and soon it becomes clear where he gets his sassiness from. Then the Besties discuss exchange stories from living the life of a showgirl… wait, the album is not about them? Not even Wood? But of course they’re going to review Taylor’s new album because Miss Swift is telling tales and she is leaving no crumbs. Cheers!

The Bitches come in with the shock of the century…. as they WILL NOT be discussing the new Taylor Swift album… because they recorded a day too early. So gird your lines for next week! Maybe the spoilers will have been aired by then. Daniel finds himself with a lot of time on his hands, don’t worry, he’s not done a Max. But for the moment, he has no excuse not to tidy his room. Max finally experiences the most American of traditions, a Renn Fair with some special guest stars. Though he wants to say it didn’t remind him of home it actually did bring on the feels. In fact, it left him chuffed. Turkey leg anyone? Then the Besties are joined by Max'parents to discuss what the view of the States is like from across the pond. Needless to say they’re not very impressed but they are rather curious about a certain Bad Bunny singing at the Super Bowl. Cheers!

The Bitches are back after being cancelled, just in time for a government shutdown. Yes, that’s exactly the reason we can’t be seen on network television. Daniel may be recording on a Wednesday but he’s already over the working week. The only thing sustaining him is cookies and the thought of Madonna’s new dance album. Max finally has the office of dreams, surrounded by Star Wars and ready to make his millions so he never has to use it again. Then the Besties discuss their friendship goals, aka the Witches of Oz, but what happens when the Tin Woodsman wants to join in the conversation. Should they tell him to leave before a house falls on him? Or should he be let into their social bubble? Chees!

The Bitches jump straight in with the drama as a discussion about mental health leads to the revelation the one of them hadn’t been introduced to psycho therapy wasn’t through celebrated criminal psychologist Dr Chase Meridian. I warned you, this episode will leave no crumbs. Daniel takes a wander down memory lane as he goes for dinner with an ex and is promptly comforted by his decision to stay single. If he hadn’t dog-sat this weekend there would have been no gentlemen in his life. Max heads to Jersey City to witness the Bills annihilating the Jets and comes back with a story about crabs that will leave you begging for an STI. The Besties then decide to see how the other half does live by going into a full on discussion about the latest entry into the Downton Abbey saga, saying goodbye to the cultural behemoth and taking a moment of pure indulgence just in time for the weekend, whatever that is.

The Bitches know that if they have nothing nice to say then they should say nothing at all, or at least pick a thousand other things to talk about. So if you’re looking for us to talk about “that incident,” try harder. (Viscious) Daniel does the Lord’s work and announces the new Girl Scout Cookie flavors, so even if the world continues to crumble, we can still sit around getting fat and sassy. (Delicious) Max is offered the opportunity to be a good samaritan but he’s neither a good person and definitely not a Christian so good luck there. (Suspicious) What love there is in his heart goes into his cooking, so grab a plate and tuck into his lasagne. (Double delicious) Then the Besties take a moment to discuss the joy that comes to fans when leading ladies celebrate the properties that brought them to us in the first place. Cheers!

The Bitches are joining you from a Diane Keating Podcast Studio and Haberdashery that is half way through is Fall-transitional bloom. Will it occur in time? Blood, sweat and tears have gone into it, but that’s the only blood you’re getting. Daniel survives a shooting… of sorts. No, this is not going to turn into a PSA on gun-crime, think of it more of the Sloan Rangers Guide to being an Ethical slut. Ta darling. Max makes the brave admission that he is obsessed with the Dancing With The Stars promotional campaign, and only the campaign. This comes with absolutely zero intention of watching the trainwreck itself. Sometimes it’s about the culture and sometimes it’s about the ripples. Then the Besties create their own culture as they both take a moment to work on themselves. Daniel removes himself from the world to get some more words on the page, whilst Max becomes the page itself as he gets his first tattoo. But how does Magic Johnson fit into all of this? Cheers!

The Bitches have the cardigan flag flying at full-mast as the Miss America and the Heartbreak kid bring the United States one step closer to a monarchy. Daniel is standing on the edge of vacation and is ready for a break, including from being a responsible adult. A cultured adult he will be, but not a responsible one. Max is also over the wave of responsibility that has washed over him and even his beloved running has now become about dodging U.S. troops. Then the Besties discuss the cultural reaction to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’ iconic engagement. If you’re angry about it being news, then that’s a reaction and you’re now part of culture (SORRY NOT SORRY). They’d raise their Pumpkin Spice Lattes but it’s still a bit too early for that. Cheers!

The Bitches can be bitches before a cookie, and they certainly can after, but while eating one? You’ll have to listen to find out. Daniel swallows his anger at Taylor Swift having the audacity to overshadow Meghan Markle’s big announcement about the second season of a television show where she repackages Taylor’s baked goods. Max enters the spirit of pre pre Fall by turning up to pool pirates with baked goods; his starter is bubbling, the muffins rising and the cookies are gagged and gooey. Then the Besties find their beautiful podcast invaded by the topic that they try so hard to avoid… politics. As the streets of DC get trampled by federal agents we discuss the cultural impact it will have on an already fragile city. Cheers!

Lights. Camera. Sparkle. The Bitches are finally entering their Showgirl era, it’s the moment you all knew was coming. Probably not the finale to the job hunt saga that you expected, but we love to keep you on your toes. Daniel spent last weekend ghosting his bestie, it was like he was a phantom. Has he been taking Broadway’s hottest ticket, Masquerade, a little too literally? Well, obsession is the name of the game. Max enters his Top energy (no pun intended) by listening to a sports podcast and emerges inspired and motivated… to explore sour dough bread. Is it the starter he needs? And then the Besties push aside summer (sorry Dwayne, but you looked adorable on the beach) and think ahead to the release of Taylor Swift’s new album. They have plenty to say with very little information. But one thing is clear, they shall be reclaiming orange this Fall. Cheers!

The Bitches are works of art, they should be on display in galleries, not just wandering about them. Thank goodness the culture now is allowing them to talk crap for an hour because they have too many opinions for under three minutes. Daniel’s week has literally hit the headlines but when are the headlines going to be about him? Maybe he needs to become a writer and head to New York looking for love… oh wait, we've seen this storyline before! How does it all end? Max picks his eyes off the floor after seeing another gay drink the Koolaid. Red dye No 30 anyone? Can’t people be more original? Oh look, a remake of The Holiday! Then the Besties are forced to be actual adults and discuss discussions of actual consequence, like what the hell happened in the Marks and Spencer’s bra department? And can Sydney Sweeney’s career ever recover from a thumbs up from the Right, because Nancy Meyers would never! Cheers!

The Bitches are reaching for their cardigans as summer takes a pause and we are plunged into a False Fall, otherwise known as Taylor Swift season. Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the farmers market. Daniel has returned surprisingly refreshed from his trip to Florida, full of tips and tricks about dealing with slightly difficult family members. And no, it doesn’t include feeding them to alligators. Max is now the wife of a famous rock star and enjoys turning five star restaurants into all you can eat buffets. Just don’t ask his opinion, he is a Trad-Wife afterall. The Besties discuss the Hollywood couples that are making us believe in a thing called love, and no, we’re not talking about the nightmare that is Together. We’re talking about the couple we never saw coming and totally shipping Pammy-A and Liam Neeson. Do we discuss the size of his Naked Gun? Cheers!

Episode 129: Midsummer Night’s Dream Girls! by Daniel and Max

Is it a bitch? Is it a plane? No, it’s Chris F**king Martin! Faster than a speeding bullet, culture cultured so quickly it was a fricking Go-gurt. Daniel sees the return of a pussy named Karma and chooses to fight the oligarchy by turning a blind eye. If they need help then they have Chat GPT. Max finally gets his taste of summer as he leaves the cinema and actually has a real experience… even if the coconuts are fake. Then the Besties pick themselves off the floor as they get their heads around Coldplay being back in the culture. The internet is a cruel mistress and has not turned a blind eye to the shenanigans of a certain CEO and quite frankly we’re here for it. And it’s Gwynnie P adjacent! Cheers!

The Bitches are giddy with joy as they find themselves in the middle of a culture war, there are heroes on both sides… only joking, we’re the good guys, nuff sed! But seriously, when is too soon to start mocking the fallen? Daniel comes to the reincarnation of Princess Margaret, at least that would explain his luck with men. Does this angel have to meet every devil in DC? Max plays it safe and spends the week in the cinema, enjoying the company of redeemed robots, dancing accountants and aliens protecting the American dream. Hey buddy, eyes up here, on the silver screen. Then the Besties discuss the new reiteration of Superman that has hit theaters and explore why people are only just realizing that a character almost a century old has the values that we should be aspiring to. As the planet enters its Supervillain era will their henchmen finally realize they have the power to send them packing? question whether or not 2025 craziness was written in the stars and, as we hit the halfway point of the year, are we able to start getting things back to close to normal… ish?

The Bitches are coming to you live from July 4th and it may surprise you that they are feeling a bit MEH about the whole thing. Hopefully a good old catchup will do them some good, it’s just a damn pity everything is so quiet… until DC turns into a warzone. Daniel is bracing himself for a trip to visit his mother and his bestie is here for him… to take plenty of notes because this is going to be delicious content. Max is slowly feeling himself come back to life on a professional level but that doesn’t mean he can’t still be the perfect host, graciously asking his guests to GTFO! Then the Besties question whether or not 2025 craziness was written in the stars and, as we hit the halfway point of the year, are we able to start getting things back to close to normal… ish?

The Bitches are back in your ears so finish your conversations and silence your phones… unless you're telling people about the podcast and listening to us on your phones. Mothers, hide your daughters, Daniel is hot, sweaty and when it comes to removing clothes the limit does not exist. Luckily he found his dignity when it came to handling Lady Bird Johnson’s personal… correspondence. Max may be celebrating ten years since getting engaged but that doesn’t stop him getting ghosted by professional contacts. Oda Mae, we need you girl for these job applications. Then the Besties question why it is that manners and common sense don’t seem to travel well. They promise to be perfect guests… if their budgets ever stretch beyond a DC pool party. Cheers!

You join the Bitches squatting amidst a trifecta of events; one of them is very much about them and another is there for their support only. A third can take several seats in another establishment, thank you very much, unless you want to join for gay guys having a vegetarian BBQ. Daniels dreams of moving to England and running MI-6 are scuppered by the announcement of the new boss. What will he do with all these Judi Dench pashminas? Max finds himself conflicted of Jamie Lloyd’s decision to stage Evita’s iconic balcony scene to the masses. How far can you take art before you’ve completely forgotten your audience? Then the Besties sit down to discuss the importance of having a friend, especially if you’re Jenna Bush Hager. Is the daughter of THAT president seriously going viral as her breakfast show embraces diverse and minority culture? Cheers?
