Cultural Threeway

The Bitches were meant to be here to discuss their first steps into the Holiday season, but yet again, the Kardashian's are here to steal the conversation. It’s shameless really. What are holes in the brain, is there such a thing as over sharing, and are we doing it now? Daniel is preparing to take some leave to travel for a personal project, so naturally everyone is trying to make him feel like a...

The Bitches are thankful you’re back again, ready to hear our take down of the week's culture, whether it’s been deliciously wicked, or maybe for good. Daniel has experienced the worst Turkey Dinner of all time. No, not from our wonderful hosts but from Jeff Bezos, aka Mr Wholefoods. Max is ready to give up on DC as its only non-alcoholic bar applies for a liquor license. Are we shocked that a gro...

The Bitches are coming to your ears on Thanksgiving Eve, but they’re recording on Wicked For Good Eve, let’s hope they’re only going to be experiencing one tour. Daniel wonders how brainless you have to be to organize a meeting on a Friday. Perhaps a trip to the Emerald City is needed, though maybe leave the kids at home. Max is pretty ready for the Holidays to begin, cards are designed and the Br...

The Bitches are a f**king mess this week, in case you didn’t work that out from the intro. Have they lost their touch? But the Hubs is here to save the day and somehow they manage to pull together an episode about a week they don’t really want to talk about. Daniel is back in the office, an event so stressful that after one day he had to take himself to lunch for oysters and a cocktail. Tsk. Tsk....

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, bu...

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 fro...

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 t...

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!

Max finally experien...

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...

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.

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?

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 sl...

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.

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 t...

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 lo...

Does this angel have to meet every devil in DC? Max plays it safe and spe...

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.

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 d...

Luckily he found his dignity when it came to handling Lady Bird Johnson’s personal… correspondence. Max may be ce...

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.
