(F)uncut Friday is Free-Stylin’ today!
Get it? We’re making today’s episode free (aka, accessible to everyone not just our baetreons) and also we’re both aspiring rappers, the intro writes itself.
But the point is, we’re making today’s episode FREE so that everyone can get a nice accurate peek into what you get when you sign up on Patreon. Disclaimer: this cannot be submitted as evidence for 5150ing us. Speaking of which, Brooke thinks this is our most unhinged F(uncut) Friday episode to date. Which feels like an absurd claim to make when this is only our third episode.
The thing is though, she’s not wrong. We’re fully ridiculous today as we get into the texts and emails between Blake Lively and every other A-list name to ever exist basically. We also go off the rails recounting Aricia’s foray into community theater and we both discuss if there are any Ryan Reynolds movies we can stomach ever again.
Yeah, we go there. Get ready.
xoxo, A&B

Huge news, Famies!! We managed to do a whole episode without a single legal story. Is the world finally healing? Doubt it, but we’ll take the small wins where we can get them.
Starting off today, we are finally digging into all of Ashley Tisdale’s Mom group drama. It’s a story full of secrecy, social media digs, and high school drama that would put Regina George to shame. Then, we’re breaking down our favorite moments from this past Sunday’s Golden Globes. Most of the fun took place during the audience reaction shots and we have booze to thank for that. After that, we’re weighing in on the recent split between Ali Wong and Bill Hader. Based on paparazzi shots it looks like these two still have so much love for each other and we’re holding out hope for a future reunion. And finally, Giselle Bündchen has a new hubby and since he teaches jiu jitsu and isn't the spokesperson for Hertz Rental Cars, her family thinks he’s too poor for her?! Plus, today’s nostalgic pop culture throwback will make you want to stop, drop, and rock-n-roll. And to end today’s episode, Brooke tells us about a truly unhinged film screening one of her Facebook friends invited her to and somehow it involves 9/11.

We are so back, baby! Welcome to 2026 Famely!! Let’s make it a good one. Or at least a better one than whatever the hell 2025 was.
We’re kicking today off with a double dose of accusations. Will Smith’s former violinist is claiming that Will sexually harassed him and then retaliated by firing him. And Cardi B’s football boo Stefon Diggs is in hot water after his live-in chef claimed he physically assaulted her. But the New England Patriots have his back. Then, we’re digging into the latest updates from the saga that is Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers. Aaron and his family are claiming that he’s the victim in all of this and we’re claiming that Aaron should maybe try getting a job. After that, we finally dive into the alleged feud rumors between David and Victoria Beckham and their son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz. It dates back almost 4 years and we go back to the beginning with the wedding chaos that started it all! Plus today’s nostalgic throwback will take you through a historic award show win and all the happy tears that came with it. And finally, Aricia tells us about her brush with crime on a cross country father daughter roadtrip.

Happy New Year, Famely!
2025 has been a real bitch, but we wanted to end the year by handing out some awards to the celebrities who deserve a little bit of gratitude. See who won the award for best new couple, best meme, most badass celeb moment, best reality TV beef, hottest athlete (this one will come as a shock to absolutely no one), plus the Leave Britney Alone Award, which is going to a celebrity that really can't catch a break in the media. Now, you might be thinking, "Isn't that still Britney?" And yes, it sadly is, but she paved the way for so many others and this year the award went to one of them. And as one of (if not the best) duos around, we're also handing out an award for our favorite celebrity besties! Plus many many more! And since we wouldn't be us if we didn't also have some criticism, you can hear who got our Fugly Slut Awards on our Burn Book tier on Patreon. So, if you haven't signed up for that yet, here's your sign! Have a safe and happy New Year's Eve and we'll see you in 2026!
❤️ Brooke & Aricia

Today, we’re starting things off on a sad note after the truly devastating and untimely loss of legendary film director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. Things are moving fast with their son Nick Reiner already in custody, but we’re choosing to focus on Rob’s incredible career. Then, we’re breaking down the drama with Meghan Markle’s Dad. This relationship has always been rocky and it looks like it might just be staying that way after his recent surgery. Next up, we’re getting into Amy Schumer’s divorce announcement. She took a break from posing on her carpeted staircase to update the public on all of the rumors surrounding her relationship with her husband Chris Fischer. Some think it was in poor taste, but we’re here for the lighthearted honesty. Rounding out today’s celebrity news we have Quentin Tarantino’s criticism of There Will Be Blood actor Paul Dano. Calling him the weakest actor in SAG was way harsh,Tai! Plus today’s nostalgic throwback will make you miss the days of watching the chaos of Total Request Live after school. And finally, Brooke tells us her second conservation camp story and this one is giving us some major creepo vibes.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
We're currently sailing the high seas (and hopefully NOT fighting fellow cruisegoers for cheating at trivia). So, while we're away, we've got a Holiday Spectacular episode to hopefully get you in the spirit of our favorite holiday season.
Since it's not an A&B evergreen episode without superlatives, we begin by breaking down our Mount Rushmore of holiday movies and holiday rom coms. (Real ones know these are two very different categories.) We also touch on holiday songs, episodes, albums, and more. Annnnd since it's not an A&B episode without there being a heated debate, help us determine once and for all which classic holiday movie is the best and which is the worst!
Spoiler alert:White Christmas is the best and It's A Wonderful Life is the worst.
(The fact that Aricia is writing this synopsis has nothing to do with the previous sentence, but now that it's published, we can consider it an irrefutable fact.)
And with that debate permanently put to bed, we then get into our favorite part of the episode: the mailbag!
We asked you all to send us questions and you did not disappoint! We covered them all (and we were especially excited to answer ones we weren't able to answer in the before times).
Wrapping things up, we each share a fun holiday story from our childhood. Turns out one of us had a perfect upbringing and the other...had an upbringing. (jk jk)
We're officially in the throes of the holiday season, so get cozy, imbibe in your vice, and come along as we journey through the magic of this season, unhinged besties-style.
xoxo,
A&B

Famies, we hope you had a good time celebrating the anniversary of Brooke’s appearance in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But, we’re back and stuffed full of taters!
Today we’re putting our fake law degrees to use once again. We’re starting things off with a double dose of lawsuits! Katy Perry is going head to head with an 85-year-old millionaire, but are the headlines being misleading about the real villain here? And she isn’t the only music industry titan fighting in court. Eminem is battling Real Housewives of Potomac stars Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant over the trademark of their Podcast ‘Reasonably Shady’ and they are not pleased. Won’t the real Trademark please stand up? Next up, we’re diving into all of the rumors that Amy Schumer and her husband are heading for divorce. She’s answering all of our questions one instagram story at a time. Then, we’re breaking down Zachary Ty Bryan’s latest brush with the law. He’s had a tumultuous couple of years and now his girlfriend is also getting in on the action. Seems like their home could use a little improvement. We know our millennial heartthrob J.T.T. can’t help his former t.v. brother but that doesn’t stop us from talking about him for way too long. Plus, today’s nostalgic throwback will make you feel brand new, good stories inspire you! And finally, Aricia brags yet again about what an amazing friend she is. Don’t come for her people or she will cut you.

We thought adult sleepovers were our thing but apparently we've been a huge inspiration to Britney Spears and the Kardashians. Kim and Khloe hosted Britney in Calabasas and we're getting major flashbacks from our 90's Patreon promo. Basically, they're obsessed with us. Next up, we dive in to the alleged post made by Offset throwing shade at Cardi B's new baby. Do we need to reboot the Maury Show and get some paternity answers or was the tweet a fake? Then, Brooke does her best to recap BravoCon and Aricia is essentially that gif of Winona Ryder at the SAG Awards trying to process all of the updates. And rounding things out we have Paris Hilton (heir to the Hilton fortune) saying she is a self-made billionaire. Some would argue that living at the Waldorf Astoria as a teen gives you a little leg up. Plus, today’s nostalgic throwback revisits a famous wedding with a 63 year age gap! And finally, Brooke tells us about a time she slept in the woods with her 6th grade class and her biggest fear wasn't bears, it was a bad hair day.

Welcome to the Hunger Games!
Today, we’re kicking things off with Kris Jenner’s 70th star studded birthday party! It was really the who’s who of people too rich to care that the world is crumbling. And speaking of people who are fresh out of fucks, Nikki Glaser hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend and really towed the line with a risqué opening monologue. Some people think she was too inappropriate and others think it was classic Nikki. Next up, we have yet another update in the saga that is Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni. Will the defense ever get a chance to rest? And by defense, I mean us. We’re tired. Then, we’re breaking down all of the allegations that Chinese documentarian Yi Zhou has made against her business partner and former lover Jeremy Renner. She says he was inappropriate with screenshots to prove it, and he said, “I’m rubber and you’re glue.” And rounding things out we dive into the rumored riff between Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour. The Stranger Things co-stars looked super buddy buddy at the show's season 5 premiere. Is it genuine or all for the cameras? Plus, today’s nostalgic throwback will take you back to a simpler time when Kanye got nervous to run his mouth in public. And finally, Aricia brags about the time she put on an invisible cape and saved a life.
