When culture pops, so does Ryan Bailey. On So Bad It's Good, a daily podcast presented by Betches Media, Ryan dissects the best (and worst) entertainment has to offer, welcoming special guests to chat about all the latest headlines, big TV moments (past and present), and literally every scandal, feud, or Hollywood controversy that’s made us lose our sh*t. (We’re looking at you, Tom Sandoval.)

    Tom Sandoval sings like a deaf man?
    Tom Sandoval sings like a deaf man and then proceeds to make fun of a “deaf man”?! Not cool Ryan

    BEST PODCASTER
    Ryan Bailey is the hardest working most thorough podcaster out there !!! He is hilarious and kind. Truly the BEST !

    Welcome to the other side
    Listening to Ryan and Sophie feel so helpless about politics in 2025 is actually quite entertaining! I can’t help but think, how did the other side feel for the past four years? Welcome to the real world—it's not so bad after all! It looks like we might finally be making some progress in clearing out a lot of corruption. I tune in to hear your thoughts for entertainment, and I couldn’t help but chuckle as you echoed my own frustrations from the last four years. That said, maybe we could steer back to the entertainment topics? If I want to dive into politics, I’ll just switch to another podcast!
  • -so sick of it
    Here for the laughs only
    Love the funny recaps but have to turn it off when he goes on political rants. Sir, we did not tune in for your small LA bubble perspective of the world
  • ecb0416
    Also too
    PLEASE, I beg you- teach your guest host Bergie that “also” and “too” mean the same thing. THERE IS NO NEED TO USE BOTH WORDS, they are redundant!!! Also (not too) “winningest” is indeed a word. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
  • B🍉🕊️
    Thanks for the catch up!
    I knew nothing of the Blake saga. Fantastic recap. Hope your tummy is better! Also, the pin is much more helpful with the card. Unchecked power is so dangerous.

    Impressions are so distracting
    The content is ok, but his impressions are like nails on a chalkboard. So bad. It got so distracting, had to turn to change to another podcast.

    Now my least favorite reality podcast
    Update- He continues to make teenage boy sexual jokes and then laughs at them when they r not funny at all. And the voices r terrible. Wish he would go back to how he was in the beginning. I have been to see the Watch What Crappens guys live twice when they have come to my city and would go see them again. Ryan has talked about doing lives and I would never pay to go see him after what he has evolved into. Such a disappointment after listening to him from the beginning. Used to really love this podcast. But now it took him over 40 minutes of my fast forwarding to get to the actual content he advertises. It’s like this is just a podcast for him to talk about anything. I want reviews and opinions of the real housewives, not 40 minutes of him laughing and talking about nothing relevant. Update again 2/7/25- still with the teenage boy humor. The latest one about the rhoslc reunion, after making multiple references to the size of the husbands penises, he makes a comment that this is family show so turn it off if the kids are listening because he is going to cuss. Like it’s ok for kids to hear about the size of male penises? He has just gotten so inappropriate. Not to mention that the voices he uses r annoying. I don’t need to hear “I say I say I say” when he is talking about what Sutton has said in a recap. I love Betches but disappointed that they r supporting this and not giving him any feedback.

    In SpongeBob voice “4 hours later”
    Your long rants are the best podcasts, never stop, change your pin and sorry about your tummy ache.

    Absolutely amazing! Listened to all 4 hours and wow, you covered it all and really explained all the details of this case. Can’t wait for the next one!!

    He’s a Chump
    I found Ryan through the Jeff Lewis show. First off he has a great radio voice. He covers a little bit of everything and not just Housewives. I find that other solo podcasters have blank airspace and lose train of thought at times. That is not the case with Ryan. He is continuously talking. It makes my day at the office go by a little quicker.
  • Lollygagger926
    Love this podcast!
    Love your podcast and always look forward to them! You're just so authentic. And I listened to the whole 4 hours of the Blake vs. Justin episode and now I know your PIN code and that you're getting man boobs haha
  • BayAreaLucky
    Love!
    Love Ryan’s recaps and insight. And the deep dives he does. Level headed, smart and fun. I’m a fan!
  • Kristine Berry
    Superior Podcast
    Thanks for breaking down the recent events that will most likely tank Blake’s career. It sounds like Justin gave and gave in for as long as he could. No one can blame him for publicly refuting the false narrative she was pushing in the media.

    Don’t worry, Ryan! I listened to the entire 4 hour marathon. I never miss a show. Thanks for the PIN. I needed a new pair of sneakers 😆 Sending lots of love 💙

    Lively Baldoni Mess
    No, I personally am not bored with this story - in fact it’s getting more and more fascinating - and your commentary was the best I’ve heard. Thanks for sacrificing the four hours. I listened to and loved every minute!
  • GA Bistola
    Time management
    The 40 minute stream of consciousness before he gets to the story is not authentic or cute, but reflects poor time management and makes me feel chaotic until a guest arrives. Also I imagine it's hard to balance this from a male pov, but feels very much like he's afraid of Blake's army.

    Love you Ryan & your 4 hour Snake Lively recap. Change your Pin 😂
  • Bernadette 911
    Love Ryan
    Love to watch Ryan’s recap ,no one can capture a Lisa Rina imitation like Ryan.. Highly recommend this podcast!
  • freehouse
    On the fence
    I really enjoy all your recaps of the show, but do you have to add politics to it? That has me thinking I may unfollow.
  • Ittlebittlebrittleface
    !!
    Ryan has the voice of an old timey radio host…love it
  • TopicLibrarian
    Sometimes escapism, sometimes deeply thought provoking, always worth it
    I love that Ryan consumes pop culture and popular media the same way I do but he still surprises me. His interview questions are really well researched and purposeful. His recaps are long and peppered with fun insights and sometimes serious commentary. Best of all, he understands that we are free to watch/listen as we want/need. Skip the long-form recaps if they’re not for you. Go straight to the interviews if you’re interested in hearing them. But please support someone who so passionately and purposefully presents popular media and shows, that most of us merely view as leisurely hobbies, as valuable content that contributes to our experiences as human beings. Rooting for you, Ryan!

    I used to enjoy your podcast but stop with the scene re-enactments…so annoying!!
    Everyone has had enough of the Blake/Justin case. We don’t care anymore!!

    Loved the episode with Lauren. ❤️ She had great points.
  • Miss.Krueger
    Boo
    Love you Ryan, but the podcast isn’t fun anymore. Used to listen daily (I know you’re podcasts are long!) But it just seems not very upbeat anymore. I understand personal stuff, plus the fires and politic views. Even the pop culture round ups on Mondays have fallen flat. Sorry, gonna have to say bye. ✌🏻

    Perfect Balance of Reality and Real
    Ryan guested on a couple other pods I follow and I was so struck by his energy and commentary. Gave his latest Blocked By Jax episode a listen and immediately followed. What a wonderful blend of pop culture insight, funny quips, and touching vulnerability. Ryan seems self aware, thoughtful, and just a total pro at this. So looking forward to listening to more episodes! Follow up review- still loving Ryan’s commentary on all things pop culture but especially appreciated his episode with guest host Sam Sanders. Ryan can touch on topics like the inauguration with thoughtfulness and strikes a great balance of levity and awareness. Also LOVE the conversation with Sam- hoping to hear more from them both together!
  • CapReagan
    Awesome!
    Ryan has the best recaps and pop culture podcasts! I love his take on it all! So entertaining!!!

    So bad it’s bad
    It’s become a transcript reading of the episodes. Done in the cringiest voice work. Ears nearly bled. Did not feel safe on the road.
  • ErinErikson
    Every Annabelle Episode💯
    So happy to see an Annabelle episode - finally!! 🥳🎉🎊
  • Mandagene
    I want to love it
    I wrestle with unfollowing each day. The recaps in the voices … they are way too long. We don’t need to listen to a replay of an entire episode. I can handle the voices in moderation but I struggle with listening to an entire episode back in the voices. However, I love what he has to say when he is not doing the voices and word by word recaps - so I still listen, hoping to get more of what he authentically has to say…. We shall see.
  • NCM87
    TikTok ban
    Love this show but extremely upset by Ryan and Sophie’s conversation around the TikTok ban. If you want less screen time monitor that yourself. The gov shouldn’t be censoring and suppressing our free speech. Truly a wild and out of touch conversation…
  • Marigold135
    Sam sanders guest

    Beverly Hills recap
    OH MY GOD!!! The Beverly Hills recap is one of the funniest I’ve ever heard. I almost peed myself. Your impression of Dorit is priceless. This episode was elite and had me laughing out loud through the whole thing. Thank you for making my day better!
  • Southern California

    Love the podcast
  • Laine_Spav
    Obsessed
    Never stop playing Raise Your Glass. Always puts a smile on my face! I’m also obsessed with the accents you give the housewives. Dorit, Whitney, Lisa Barlow, LVP, Sandoval, Sutton - just amazing.

    So Good

    Dear Ryan, You do so much good for so many people. Love your show. Thank you for always being there.

    The Fabulous Ryan Bailey
    The last podcast was hard to listen to. It was barely… Nope, wasn’t funny. Dammit.
  • Bratislava23
    Enough about your sinus journey
    I’ve always enjoyed this podcast but if Ryan wants to keep listeners he really needs to let up on the sinus journey. It’s gross and uninteresting.
  • Bonniegall
    Great pod!!
    Ryan is so wonderful and talented, I enjoy his pods that are more focused on deep diving and actually talking about the shows and the people. The recaps get long and hard to make it through- I wish he did more general commentary eps 💯🙏🏼
  • imaginarymarie
    The levity we all want and need
    Ryan is an absolute oasis in this gross post-apocalyptic mediascape! He’s such good and kind energy, and living abroad, he hits my fix of pop culture every day <3
  • Kater!19
    Has been better
    Like his Bravo takes, but the Blake Lively coverage is extremely stilted- very disappointing since he hasn’t even read through the counter argument and already has a closed mind. Disappointing. Would have liked a balanced discussion.
