  • Chalamet’s polarizing Critics Choice speech, his shout-out to Kylie, and the widespread internet reaction.
  • The hosts debate Club Chalamet’s superfan access, with “No problems. No problems.” as a tongue-in-cheek reference to internet rumors.
  • Quote:
    • “I saw a clip from Tyler the Creator talking about this, which is what inspired me to bring this up, because… Timothée Chalamet is so good at what he does. And he was like, fuck all that imposter syndrome bullshit. When someone's like, oh, I don't know if I'm that good. Where Timothée Chalamet is like, no, I'm great...” – Fran [43:13]

• The story drops of Alex Earle and Tom Brady’s close, flirtatious interactions in St. Barts.
• Ria and Fran share how they received the video ~20 minutes before it went viral and dissect internet reactions, emphasizing that they see it as a “do it for the plot” moment.
• Hosts break down generational reactions: Gen Z is scandalized (“Tom Brady is literally her dad’s age!”), Millennials find it iconic, and Boomers barely know who Alex Earle is.
• Quote:
  • "If my friends had that opportunity, I'd be like, I'm not saying go fucking date Tom Brady. No, yuck. But to have the story of, 'I had a night with Tom Brady'? Do it!" – Fran [63:11]

[99:17–147:21]

• Eternity (A–): Sweet, unique romantic film starring Miles Teller and Callum Turner. The Chicks rooted for “Larry” and enjoyed the imaginative “afterlife” world-building.

• Marty Supreme & Song Sung Blue: Both given A's for different reasons; praise for Gwyneth Paltrow’s acting, some debate over character arcs.

• Emily in Paris (B–): Entertaining, light.
• Gone Girl (A–): Always a rewatchable classic.
• Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Documentary (B+ to A–): Insider look at the tour, emotional performance moments, great for Swifties.

[Ria]

Hey, Chicks in the Office listeners. You can find every episode on Apple podcasts, Spotify or YouTube Prime. Members can listen ad free on Amazon Music.

[Fran]

What's up, everyone? It's Chicks in the Office with Ria and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Monday. Happy Monday, everybody. We are happy to be back in studio. It has been a. A long.

[Ria]

It's been a long time.

[Fran]

Treacherous. Two weeks without you guys, without our listeners, without talking on this damn podcast. And we are happy to be back.

[Ria]

Very happy. Who knows how long this episode's going to be?

[Fran]

It could be four hours long, and I don't give a. I had some coffee today. I'm ready to go. Ready to go. We came into the studio wearing the same exact fleece today. Yeah. Yeah. Not planned.

[Ria]

It never, is. It never.

[Fran]

I was sitting here is. You walk through the door.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

My big jacket. I saw you.

[Fran]

I'm.

[Ria]

I just unzipped.

[Fran]

You said, I'm wearing the same fleece. And then you said you were going to change. I said, no, honey, no.

[Ria]

Well, you know, I thought about it, but then when I, like, sat here, this is such a immediately going to sound like we're just doing an ad.

[Fran]

We're not. We're not. It's not an ad.

[Ria]

I really. This fleez is really comfortable. And I thought about. I was like, shit, do I take it off? Like, nah, I am so comfy.

[Fran]

Yeah, it is really comfortable. And, you know, being cozy.

[Ria]

We're both in our Uggs.

[Fran]

It just shows that we're still in sync. Even two weeks apart from each other, we're still on the same wavelength.

[Ria]

And honestly, I enjoy not discussing what we're gonna wear when we come in because we really just know what the vibe is.

[Fran]

We knew today, Monday coming back, we're not getting dressed up.

[Ria]

No, no, no, no.

[Fran]

We want to be cozy. We're gonna be talking a lot.

[Ria]

Exactly.

[Fran]

But we do.

[Ria]

And then when there's certain times we do understand, it's like, then. That's why other times we also come in wearing the same outfits. We're like. We had the same thought.

[Fran]

It's tomorrow. We have an interview. We're probably going to be a little bit more dressed. Yes. We're on the same length, but we are both wearing. This is not an ad, by the way. We are both wearing Dairy Boys fleeces, which is Paige Lorenz's brand. And I do want to say that I think that she has the best, like, influencer brand.

[Ria]

I agree.

[Fran]

Currently, yes. I think that her marketing is great. I think that her. The quality of her clothes are fantastic. Like, I just gotta give her props.

[Ria]

No, you're right. I. Look at us, we're both at the fleece.

[Fran]

We're both wearing the fleece, so it clearly is working. Noah, where is your damn fleece? I have an extra. I'll bring it in for you.

[Noah]

Do they. Do guys wear that brand?

[Ria]

Maybe?

[Fran]

I. I haven't seen it, but I'm sure you could wear this fleece.

[Noah]

I could. I would wear that.

[Fran]

You would totally.

[Ria]

You could totally wear this. It just. I really love the, like, the wide sleeves.

[Fran]

It's great.

[Ria]

Anyways. Anyways, to be back.

[Fran]

Yes. Happy New year, everybody.

[Ria]

Happy 2026.

[Fran]

Yes. We are into 2026.

[Ria]

Everyone's got their planners.

[Fran]

Yes. The whole thing.

[Ria]

And you know, every change that they said they're going to make January 1st, it's January 5th.

[Fran]

Well, today.

[Ria]

Today's a real.

[Fran]

Listen, I don't. I don't make the rules, but I hate to break it to everybody that today is the start of the new year. Correct. Unfortunately, it is correct.

[Ria]

But the past weekend.

[Fran]

No. The good news is, though, summer is around the corner. Like, you know what I mean? Like, when you think about it like that, the fantastic news is summer's around the corner and you have something to look forward to because the next couple months. Yeah, let's be honest. It's dreary. They could be dim. They can be dim.

[Ria]

I get, like, major. I almost straight up, like, cried in my Uber back into the city last night. 1. I just got in, too. Like, my flight was late, so I got in late. And then our state building was, like, still in Christmas colors, and I was.

[Fran]

Like, christmas is over.

[Ria]

And it's just the worst time in New York City because Christmas time is so fun and it's beautiful, and the lights and the cheer and the joy. And then it ends, and then everybody's Christmas tree is just thrown on the sidewalk. It's sad. People are pulling. I walked into the office, the people downstairs were pulling the lights off the tree. They're packing everything up. You gotta, like, put all the festive stuff away, and you're like, what bring? I need something. Like, the lights. It brings me joy. I know that I can't have my Christmas lights up forever in my apartment. But, like, the cutie decorations that have little lights and makes it so cozy. I'm like, how do I replicate that? That's not Christmas decorations.

[Fran]

You can get antiques and stuff to put around your home that light it up. You can get lights in there.

[Ria]

I actually did. I searched it on TikTok because I felt some people having the same problem as me. And there are some beautiful floor lamps I saw people suggest. So I might have to get. I might have to get something like that because it just brings. It just brings me joy. And now it's just cold and gray. Not to bring everybody down right off the bat, but it is just cold and gray for the next few months. But like you said that it starts. Summer's around the corner and it starts to warm up.

[Fran]

Together we will fight that winter depression. That really hits hard.

[Ria]

It really does.

[Fran]

After the holidays.

[Ria]

Really does.

[Fran]

But we are going to fight it off and we're gonna. Great new year. Great start to the new year. Okay.

[Ria]

Yep. Everybody love it.

[Fran]

We're gonna. We're gonna turn that energy right around and we are gonna have a hot start to the new year.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Very exciting topics to talk about. Honestly, like literally so much to talk about. But first, let's talk about our breaks. Obviously, we've been gone for two weeks. What have you been up to?

[Ria]

It's weird because a lot and nothing all at the same time. You know, it was just like a lot of it felt so long because it was almost like two breaks in one. Like I had this beautiful holiday around home, around New York City. My family was here. Just felt like I got a lot of good family time this whole. This whole two weeks, which was so nice. So like in New York City, had my parents and my siblings. We did Christmas Eve in South Jersey. We do Christmas Day in North Jersey.

[Fran]

Hi.

[Ria]

Christmas morning Joe and I did bagels for everybody.

[Fran]

Your apartment.

[Ria]

While we opened gifts. And then it snowed, which was lovely. I forgot about the snow and we were delayed to leave.

[Fran]

What do you get? Just question. So when you had people over your house on Christmas Day, you provided them bagels? Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Have you seen. I'm sorry, I have to talk about it. Have you seen on TikTok everybody, like, ripping Nick Viall and Natalie apart about them having their family on Christmas day.

[Ria]

And not cooking for them or anything. Yeah, wait, I saw that. But then I also listened to the whole thing and I feel like there's some depth to that. There's like some family dynamics we don't fully understand.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Because it's like, I thought it was an interesting setup because it seems now I don't know all the details and I really just saw one video, but it seems like Nick renovated his parents lake house so it was like it belonged to his parents first. So like all the family would always be there, but now it goes to Nick. And that's when things get a little complicated because he's like, my siblings are coming. Acting like it's still mom and Dad's, but it's. But it's mine. But it's not. But it's like, I don't know, there's some wrinkles there. It seems like they need to figure out their holiday situation.

[Fran]

What I took from it was like, if you are hosting Christmas, you're in charge of what's going to happen Christmas morning. What is everyone seeing?

[Ria]

Lack of communication. They said people were going to church. It seemed like nobody were doing anything. It was like nobody texted in the group chat, like, hey, what do we.

[Fran]

Want to do for Christmas morning? The hosts of the house didn't say, we're doing this Christmas morning, and we're making this Christmas morning.

[Ria]

He's got way too many siblings is the thing.

[Fran]

I don't remember that.

[Ria]

He's got, like, 12 siblings.

[Fran]

Oh, I didn't. I don't know. That family doesn't talk too much, but I just was hearing them talk about, like, sometimes they make food just for them and they're not cooking for other people. And I'm like, well, if you have people at your house.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, no, no, that for sure.

[Fran]

You got to provide the food and the treats and, you know. But then it's like, are you hosting or are you not?

[Ria]

Are they hosting or not? Is it your parents?

[Fran]

If you're hosting, you got to figure it out.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, but thankfully, you and Joe.

[Ria]

No, no bagels were provided upon arrival.

[Fran]

Thank God you guys provided bagels for your guest.

[Ria]

Nick's a family of 11.

[Fran]

Holy shites.

[Ria]

Yes. It's a lot I for. I remember that from the Bachelor. Yes, we did bagels, little bloody Mary bar, some, you know, mimosa's. Great host, fantastic open gifts. This is my house.

[Fran]

I'm cooking for me and Joe only. And you guys have to make your own byob, bring your own bagel.

[Ria]

They will not be provided.

[Fran]

Nick's brother commented on the YouTube that he squeezed 70 oranges Christmas morning.

[Ria]

Yeah, I saw that.

[Fran]

I was like, oh, they gotta get.

[Ria]

This is what I'm saying.

[Fran]

They gotta take this off.

[Ria]

Oranges. They have a lot of. Yeah, right? It was like, this feels like maybe there's a lot to work out with the dynamics of the lake house.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

But no, it was really nice. My mom was cracking me up. Cause she just got us all like, these. She was cute. She just wanted to get us all kind of little gag gifts. And she got my brother this, like, roll, like, mat piano. That's for toddlers. And he opened. It was like, what? And she was like, you love playing the piano. JB was like, no, I don't.

[Fran]

You love tickling those keys.

[Noah]

Oh, literally.

[Ria]

That's what we kept saying. We were like, you love. I was like, jb, you know those two songs you can kind of play when you're in front of the piano?

[Fran]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ria]

Clearly for you to play. Which was very funny. She got me and Joe, like, matching planners. But mine said, like, kind of sort of trying maybe to keep it together.

[Fran]

And.

[Ria]

And Joe said, like, plans for 2026. Like, because my mom was like, well, Joe loves to plan. He has his planner. He writes everything down. And I know you don't.

[Fran]

It's like subtle shots on Christmas.

[Ria]

Yeah, no, it was. It was. It was very funny. And then it, like, it snowed. So we got. We all got kind of fucked with our travel and flights were canceled and blah, blah, blah. But it was actually so nice to have, like, a little extra snow time in the city. It was so beautiful. And I love when it snows around Christmas time. It's just like the best thing ever. And. And then down. And then down to Florida. I was in Florida for last week, which was so nice. Great meals, great family time. It was a little chilly not to. It's like. It's funny to complain about it being like 60 degrees in Florida when it's been, you know, 20 degrees in New York City. But 60 degrees in Florida, it might as well be 20 degrees. Like, you're like. You're like, I need to wear.

[Fran]

I need my hat. I need my park.

[Ria]

Because you also see how everybody else acts in Florida when it gets that cold. And you're like, it's a gang mentality type thing. It snowballs. You're like, well, my waitress is wearing a beanie, so it's free. It's freezing. It's as cold, you know. But it was so nice. Nothing too crazy. Like, had a very fun New Year's Eve. We do the same. We normally do the same thing. Like this big family dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. And we eat so much, and then we. The new year happens, and we're like, yay. And then we go home, and it was. It was delightful. So did that got read. Read a couple books, which was so nice. Thanks to everybody who sent me all the books they read in 2025. I've never had an instagram story be replied to as much as me being like, what Was your favor? 2025? And I said to G, I said to G, I was like, kind of being a bitch because I was like, I know I don't post about reading a lot, but like I. I read and I've turned into like a book snob for a second because I was like, if some one more person sends me seven husbands of Evelyn who you go like, I haven't read it. And I was like, okay, now I'm getting bitchy. Now I'm getting bitchy. I'm making a list. This is books people love. But there's the books where it's like, yes, I read this. Somebody sent me Harry Potter.

[Fran]

I said, girl, Harry Potter, do they know you? That's only not offensive.

[Ria]

That's why, like, it was like, you don't even know me, right?

[Fran]

That's what it feels like. Wow, you don't know me.

[Ria]

And then I was like, maybe I'm not talking about books enough because the Nightingale is like far and Away, maybe my favorite book I've ever read. Just love it so much. And that was sent to me a lot too. And I was like, you know, I must not be talking about this enough. But so many great books and so many books I had not heard of or see. I mean, I think I had like a bajillion books sent to me. I read a bunch and was very happy that I now have this list which is saved on my Instagram, if any. I saved it as a highlight if people want to go and see all the books everyone read in 2025.

[Fran]

There you go.

[Ria]

Great year.

[Fran]

I saw some good suggestions on there too that I took for myself.

[Ria]

I know a lot of good ones and I'm excited because it felt like everybody was really excited about reading, which I love. And it reminded me that, you know, Barnes and Noble said at the end of the year they opened up 1550 something new locations in 2020. We're reading.

[Fran]

We're reading in 20. Dang. We have been reading. We have been reading even more. Exactly in 2026.

[Ria]

Exactly.

[Fran]

And I.

[Ria]

And I love that I read Broken country, which I think was highly. Maybe the number one sent in book was that an Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, which also came out this year, which I will read a Taylor Jenkins Reid book the second it comes out. So I read that over the summer, but Broken Country I had not seen. And I read it in a day like started on the beach on Sunday, finished it on the plane ride home quick Read so good and I'm glad people were right because I had kind of said I was in a little bit of a slump and needed something that was going to like zip me right in. And that book will do it. I flew through it and it was good. Really good.

[Fran]

Broken Country. Highly, highly suggested. Justin Buck, what's your rating?

[Ria]

I give it a four and a half.

[Fran]

Ooh, that's high.

[Ria]

I went, I like my immediate reaction when I finished it was like, wow, five star book. And then I needed a second to sit with it. I went with four and a half. Only because there's a lot of time jumps in it. Which obviously lend to why the book is so suspenseful. Because right away you're like, holy shit, what the fuck happened? Cause it's jumping around so much. But at the same time I was like, I don't know if I loved, loved, loved all the jumping around, if just. And I also wish there was more of one. I don't want to give too much away, but one of the main characters. I wish there was more of his story, Frank. Frank felt like a character that could have been explored more and we didn't. I felt like I didn't get enough of him and. And that was the only reason, really. I think I, I bumped it down. I also. It's the same thing when people grade movies. And I am. And when I think about how I grade movies or think about movies, it's nearly impossible to have a hundred out of 100. There's always something. There are movies like that that exist, of course. But then when I, when, when I finish a book, sometimes like, I fucking love that book.

[Fran]

Five stars, you know, and then I'm.

[Ria]

Like, wait a second, rein it in. But good book. But four, and I mean four and a half is high.

[Fran]

It was very good.

[Ria]

I have not like done that in a while where I was glued to my Kindle. Even when like the football was on. I was like reading.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Trying to get through it was very, very good. So thanks to all the, thanks to all the suggestions. And I came home Sunday night and I'm really excited to see Olive. I gotta go pick her up at my mother in law's cause she was with Lita all week, which was very fun for her. She had a great time. But sad for us because I missed, because I missed her. And there's so many dogs in Florida. So many dogs. Especially where we are. There's a dog, like everyone brings their dog to the beach. But, you know, I got it. The flying.

[Fran]

It's Hard.

[Ria]

It's a whole thing. But, man, let me tell you, people do not hesitate to bring their dogs on the flights to Florida.

[Fran]

No. So many dogs. No, there's so many. You got to figure it out. Oh, my God. There's a loophole somewhere.

[Ria]

So many dogs flying home. Sunday night, my flight was half, like, literally half dogs. I was cracking up. There's just dogs everywhere. You're like, BBI was just. It was a dog park.

[Fran]

It's kids, really old people and dogs. Yeah. Because they're going to Disney.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

Or, you know.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

Yep. A lot of people retire in Florida total. And they got their dogs. Totally.

[Ria]

Totally. When my friends text me and ask, oh, my God, have you, you know, what bra are you wearing? Does anyone have any favorite bras? Like, that's something. My friends were texting in our group chat all the time. Worn a bra lately. I am always telling them to get the skims bras. They are by far the best. I wear a skims bra every day. And one of my biggest pet peeves is when you're wearing a bra and you know, digs into your skin or it's uncomfortable, you're constantly trying to adjust it. And it was a struggle to find a good everyday bra for a while until the skims bra I got my hands on the Fits Everybody T shirt bra. It's changed the game. It is really exclusively the bra that I wear basically every single day. Or if I'm looking for something with a little less structure. The skims bralettes are fantastic when you're, you know, looking for a more cozy vibe. But the Fits Everybody T shirt bra is a staple. The bra is so seamless, supportive, but not suffocating. So everyone should experience this level of comfort. You can shop our favorite bras and [e-mail] after you place your order. Be sure to let them know we sent you select podcast in the survey and be sure to select our show in the dropdown menu that follows. Well, you kind of. We had parallel. Parallel breaks. Kind of.

[Fran]

Kind of.

[Ria]

We were just both in Florida.

[Fran]

Both Florida.

[Ria]

Different places.

[Fran]

But my. My leading up to. I've lived nine lives.

[Ria]

You are so sick.

[Fran]

I. I've lived.

[Ria]

I don't know what happened.

[Fran]

I don't know how.

[Ria]

I mean, you know, it could still come for me, but I don't know how. I did, by the way, my dad and Gia, horrendously sick this whole last week.

[Fran]

Yeah. And I.

[Ria]

And I'm skating through. I. I said a theory that everyone laughed at me, but I Was like, I don't know, guys. And I was like, I think my allergies are just always so bad that I'm just always congested. And it, like, blocks the sicknesses from you.

[Fran]

You don't even know if you're sick. Cause you just constantly feel it.

[Ria]

Yeah, like, I'm just constantly congested. Anyway. No, but whatever happened, like, my bro, my dad, and Gia were not feeling good. But you were on your deathbed last week.

[Fran]

Well, two weeks. Yeah. I mean, I don't even know.

[Ria]

Was it last week, a week and a half ago? It was two weeks ago.

[Fran]

It was literally right after.

[Ria]

Right after we.

[Fran]

December 18th, we were going to visit our friends in Maryland who had just moved into a new house. Yeah. At the beginning.

[Ria]

Like, it was months ago.

[Fran]

It does. It really does. They had just moved into their new house at the beginning of November. And we had this plan since then. Like, we were gonna do the weekend before Christmas. We were gonna have a holiday spectacular weekend. We were gonna watch Christmas movies. We were gonna build gingerbread houses. I've never made a gingerbread house before, so we were gonna do gingerbread houses. We were gonna do the whole thing. All right. We are driving there Thursday night to Maryland. We are having the time of our lives in the car. We're singing ballad after ballad. We are excited. Vacation has begun. We know we now have two weeks off. And we are ready Thursday night. Fine. We got there. Oh, new house. We're checking all the new digs out. Yeah. Nice little guest room. We get situated, you know, the whole thing. But a light Thursday night because we're ready for the weekend to come. Wake up Friday, and it's like, you know, a little. A little. A little tickle, a little sniff. I'm like, oh, maybe, you know, just change. Change of scenery. Not in my bedroom. Yeah. I don't know. Go to a workout class with my friend. We went to P. Volve, which I think they maybe have one in the city. They don't have any near me in Jersey. It's Jennifer Aniston's.

[Ria]

Like, there is one in the city.

[Fran]

Band, Pilates type, you know, mat whatever. Really liked was enjoyable. Felt fine during the workout class. Come home, all of a sudden things hit. And you know when you, like a cold kind of just like, comes on as the days go on. And you could just, like, feel. You know, you feel a cold, but you could, like, still function, but with the flu. It just fucking knocks you like a truck. It's just like, boom. It punches you in the face out of Nowhere, you become the sickest you've ever been. So out of nowhere, middle of the day, I'm like, oh, my God, I feel so fucking sick. I'm, like, talking like this. Like, so congested. Matt, all of a sudden, he's feeling really sick. Like, oh, my God. We are now in our friend's home, their new brand new house. So sick. I'm like, I'm gonna fight through this. I'm gonna have a glass of whiskey. I'm gonna. You know what I mean? Like, I'm just gonna. I think this will get it to go away. Have a glass of whiskey. No. Then I just felt dizzy and confused and sick. Like, I was. It didn't do anything. I just felt.

[Ria]

I appreciate that level of trying to knock.

[Fran]

I can't. This can't happen. This can't happen. And it did. It happened hard. Woke up, I went to bed Friday, so sick. Like, and by the way, I was scrolling on TikTok, and everyone was so sick. And mind you, there were a lot of, like, where progressed to a scary level. Like, I know a lot of people were in the hospital, and, like, it got really. You know, it's really, really bad this season for sure. But I. So I was scrolling and every video was really scary and dark, and I was like, oh, no, I am now scaring myself. And I'm also really sick. I went to bed that night having fucking fever dreams about Timothee Chalamet, which, honestly drove me crazy. Okay. I was having fever dreams about Marty supreme, as if this man winning an Oscar was going to directly affect my life. Like, I was in it with him. Yeah. That's how bad these fever treats are on his team. No, literally, it's like, oh, my God, tossing and turning. Is he gonna win the Oscar? I was making myself nut. You know when you start taking the flu medicine, all the combination, the Sudafed, the nyquil, Timothy Chalamet. My brain's going crazy. So sick. The whole weekend. Saturday, Sunday. Woke up, like, I don't. It honestly only got worse.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And then Monday morning rolls around and we're still stuck in Maryland. Like, we're just stuck in our friend's home in their guest bedroom, which, you know.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I feel so sorry that.

[Ria]

Kept texting him, like, he's still there.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

We couldn't drive home. We were both so sick. I know. And I just felt so bad that we were in their house.

[Ria]

Yeah. So did they get sick?

[Fran]

No. Thankfully they didn't, because they also were, like, very much like, no, guys, please lay on the couch because I felt like I need to hide away in the guest room. Yeah. And they just kept being like, no, like, we know how terrible. Like, you know, but we were trying to keep to ourselves because we don't want you to get sick. You know, the holidays are right around the corner. But every day just woke up feeling worse. And then on Monday woke up and they both work from home. And I just was at my wit's end now. Cause it's the fourth day and I'm in the shower and I'm just yelling like a motherfucker in the shower. I'm like, oh, my God.

[Ria]

Jesus Christ.

[Fran]

I'm like, groaning, moaning. Matt runs into the bathroom.

[Ria]

You just have to let her.

[Fran]

He runs in the bathroom. He's like, rhea, they're on meetings right now. Okay? Everyone in the house can hear you yelling in the shower. They are on work meetings. I'm like, oh, my God. It's just like not being sick in your own home. And you just don't know what to do anym. Like, yeah, motherfucker. And I'm praying to saints that I haven't heard me in years. Like, I'm just like, please, somebody help me. You know? And then got out of the shower, you know, sat downstairs, had a little soup, started full on crying, you know, Couldn't be more dramatic. I'm like, I'm fully now just crying at the table. Like, you know, is this gonna get better?

[Ria]

This was. That just happens, though. Gia didn't make it through New Year's Eve dinner. Cause she was so sick. And then she started crying at the table. Cause she was so sad that she was ruining New Year's ev.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And. And she thought that she was ruining TJ's New Year's Eve because she was so sick. Because TJ was like, I'll take you home. And she's like, no, now I'm gonna.

[Fran]

Ruin your new year. It's the guilt.

[Ria]

It's just. Yeah, yeah. I felt awful. It was so sad. She did have to go home.

[Fran]

She felt terrible. Right?

[Ria]

And you just feel guilt.

[Fran]

Like, I'm like, we've been in their house for four days now. We were supposed to have a great weekend. What if they get sick?

[Ria]

The whole thing, the guilt of get. It's like getting someone else. And that you're like.

[Fran]

And I have now tainted their entire home.

[Ria]

And it's Christmas. It's Christmas.

[Fran]

I've tainted your new home. I've sneezed on every inch of this new house. I don't know what to do. So I just start bawling. I'm like, I can't. And Matt's like, all right, we need to muster it up and get in the car and just go home. We have no other choice. We can't. Christmas is two days. We gotta get outta here. And maybe if we leave, we'll feel better.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And that change of scenery, it happened. We got in the car. Throw on a couple basement yard episodes.

[Ria]

Brought you back to life.

[Fran]

And Joe and Frankie. Joe and Frankie brought you back to life. No, we. Yeah, we. We drove home. We made it home and woke up Tuesday feeling so much better.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, change of scenery. I think it's also like the flu. Like all of a sudden you just wake up one day and you're like, oh, well, I'm feeling better. And yeah, I felt nervous about going to Christmas Eve and Christmas because I didn't want to get anybody else sick. And also, selfishly, I didn't want to get sick again because I kept seeing people being like, I felt better and all of a sudden I got sick again. My brother also had the flu. So I'm like, if we meet up and we start transferring back to each.

[Ria]

Other, which is not really.

[Fran]

What if you have a different strain than I do and the whole shit.

[Ria]

So it's like fucking Frogger out there. You're like, people left.

[Fran]

You're dodging all this strange.

[Ria]

It really was everybody. We got the text after like Christmas day being like, oh my. You know, my uncle had Covid and we. All that my dad had in his head. My, my. You know, and you know, men, when they get sick, it's just like a whole nother level. My, my, my dad, I felt so bad, but he was just like. One of my brother's friends was staying with us too. He's like, what do you think? Like, well, he's like, oh, maybe it'll be a. Maybe it'll be like a 24 hour thing. My dad's like, oh, no, this is a three to five day for sure.

[Fran]

Why, why are dads, like the most sick ever? Oh my. When they get sick. When my dad gets sick, it's like, he's never. He's dead. Like there's no. He's not coming back to life.

[Ria]

Didn't see my dad the last like four days, like after New Year's Eve. Forgot it was. He was gone. Yeah, he's in his room. We're watching the Eagles game. He's watching on the TV in his room and he's like 15 seconds behind the TV that we're watching. So he'd be like, ah. Then like 15 seconds later, we hear him go, ah, come on. He like literally only came outside to pour whatever concoction he came up with of medicine. You don't even know what he's doing.

[Fran]

Anything when you're in barrefluid Dick.

[Ria]

Like, he really, he. By day four, he was like, I think I perfected the cocktail. The cocktail of. Of what time to take what?

[Fran]

By the time you get it, you're already feeling better. Well, I can't take Tamiflu because I had about 10 years ago.

[Ria]

Oh, you keep right. You can't take time.

[Fran]

My first year at barstool, I got the flu and I took Tamiflu and I had like a bad reaction to it. I was experiencing chest pains. I had to go to the hospital. And they were like, oh, Tamiflu can cause bad reactions. And apparently it is like people have hallucinations. It's wild. So I can't take Tamiflu. There's another one.

[Ria]

I did have wild dreams.

[Fran]

The Zofluza. So flooza is a one day pill for the flu and maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong.

[Ria]

No, no, no, you're right. It's just like, that's so fun. What a fun. It's like, sounds like a medicine for floozies.

[Fran]

Yeah. Well, listen, you want to cure it, there you go. And you have to take it within the first 48 hours of getting sick. Yes.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

Every pharmacy in Maryland was out. Six different pharmacies. Nobody had it. So, you know, you just get knocked down when you're like, oh, I'm gonna get it. And it's like no fucking pharmacy heard it. So. Yeah. But eventually felt better. Went to Christmas Eve and Christmas because my parents were like, please come, it's fine. Da, da, da, da. And we ended up feeling better by then anyway, but I just didn't know if it was gonna linger or whatever. So, yeah, we went and it was love. It was very lovely Christmas Eve, actually a very fun one. Just a lot of dancing and good music and, you know, we just had a good time. My family like dancing around. It was. It was actually really nice. I was like, oh, this is, you know, this is a good Christmas Eve. And then Christmas.

[Ria]

I love Christmas Eve.

[Fran]

Christmas Eve. I. I remember Christmas Eve being so fun. Fun when I was younger. And then I felt like it kind of lost its luster a little bit. But this one, it felt back. I was like, this is a fun Christmas Eve and then Christmas was just. Was great. But all the flights started getting canceled. Yeah. And we had a flight for Saturday morning and a bunch of flights were canceled Saturday. So on. On Christmas Day, you know, my, my family's like, oh, guys, you should try to get out tonight. Like, you know, everyone's pushing us. Try to find a flight tonight. Try to find a flight tonight. We ended up finding a last minute flight Christmas night. So we had to run out of Christmas, drive home, pack, leave, you know, on a whim. But it worked out. We made it to Florida early. Got a couple extra days in there actually, which was nice because we got some good weather before the cold front hit in Florida, but then had a very similar to you just in Florida goal was to just like lay out, read, watch a little tv, eat some damn good food while also sort of staying in, in my routine. I didn't want to throw because I've probably since the end of the summer I realized that even though I'm not a routine person in some ways I am. And if you throw me off that, like, if I go too much off of yeah. It could send me into like, oh my God, now I gotta get. So keeping that up, actually I felt great about it because I was like, you know, I'm gonna head into the new year, sort of keeping up this routine a little bit while also enjoying vacation. And you know, it felt very nice. It was chill. We came home a day early actually because we want to have the weekend at home before coming back to work on Monday. We were gonna leave Saturday night. We ended up leaving Friday night instead because we got to enjoy the day on Friday anyway. And we would be leave. So we were like, oh, we'll just come on Friday night, have the weekend at home, get ourselves together and be ready for Monday. And that's what we did. And it was, it was super chill, you know, nothing too crazy, exciting New Year's Eve, went to dinner, had a really delicious dinner at Carbon in Miami. And then we came home and just watched Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper and it was fucking hilarious. Like, my goodness, the giggles that you get watching them, it's really just, it's infectious. And when they had Stephen Colbert on and they're on the Zoom and now at this point, it's later on in the evening, it was so fucking funny. And then right after that they had Andy's parents on. Andy's parents phoned to ring it off the hook. He's like, go answer the phone. Like, it's just at this point Anderson Cooper by the way, like, couldn't tell. Could not speak at one point, which was so fun. And he's like, I got it. I got it every time.

[Ria]

The. Andy talks about it all the time too, before New Year's Eve. But the, like, the sound effects and the facial expressions he makes after a shot are just so funny.

[Fran]

So funny. It was really nice. It was just like such a casual, cozy New Year's Eve, which I really like. New Year's Eve at home a lot of times, you know, have a good dinner, but then come home to, like, ring in the new year. So I was actually happy to be able to get home to watch a lot of it because it was so funny. And, you know, there's always complaints, you know, the next day about them being drunk, but frick it, let them drink and let them be drunk because it is. Let em. Entertaining.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

And it's nice for people at home that aren't doing anything and they want to like, you know, it's like you're laughing with your friends, almost watching. Totally. You know. But yeah, I will say the. The sickness has gotten people the past couple weeks. And Noah was sick at the same time as me. Just not as sick.

[Noah]

Not as.

[Ria]

He just coughed. He just coughed for seconds later.

[Noah]

A little tiny thing, but it's not.

[Fran]

He bit. He.

[Noah]

There was a period where I was non stop coughing.

[Fran]

Yeah, it did. And. And I'll say this, like, the holidays can be hard enough for people. And then you add being sick on top of that. Yeah. And you know, a lot of people with kids who are getting sick. And then I saw that.

[Ria]

And then you have to like, cancel your plans.

[Fran]

Right. But then you gotta, like, you're so sick, but you gotta take care of.

[Ria]

Your kid who's really sick.

[Fran]

And you know, it's. It was. It was a messy couple weeks. It was, you know, and it's still going, so if you were sick and you're feeling better, I'm happy you're feeling better. If you're currently sick, I'm sorry. You'll make it through. We're gonna fight this together and. Yeah, hopefully. Hopefully, you know, around the corner. It'll. It'll get better.

[Ria]

Noah, you are right. You all right now?

[Fran]

How are.

[Noah]

I'm feeling good.

[Ria]

Rested.

[Noah]

Pretty good. Yeah. Rested maybe too rested. Where? I'm like, I don't remember how to go about my life, you know, Like, I've really done nothing for two. Pretty much done nothing for two weeks.

[Ria]

You just went home?

[Noah]

I went home. I came back for New Year's and then I went back home after that.

[Fran]

No. Had a Wild New Year's.

[Ria]

You hit the clubs?

[Noah]

Yeah. Yeah, we did. We did.

[Ria]

Shit.

[Noah]

Yeah. You know, just another night for us.

[Fran]

He made some. What was that guy's Instagram?

[Noah]

Oh, I don't know.

[Fran]

Yeah, like, he made some famous person. I don't know who it is.

[Noah]

Person. 2 million followers, and I don't remember, like, meeting him, but he's like a singer with a singer with, like, a couple million followers. And he posted, like, his 2025 recap. And somehow I was, like, in the fifth frame of it, Noah's, like, in.

[Fran]

The picture, and then a video where it's, like, a sign that says 30 under 30 of Noah's.

[Noah]

Which, by the way, wasn't for me. I said that as a joke. That signed. I guess it was someone else's. Oh, no, you know what? It was probably. I won't mention her by name, but she's probably on the actual 30 before under 30 list.

[Fran]

Oh, okay, that makes sense. I thought it was, like, about.

[Noah]

No, no, I sent it as if that was, like, about me.

[Fran]

Oh, okay. Got it. Got it.

[Ria]

A female singer.

[Fran]

No, no, there was a female influencer at the table with them.

[Noah]

I mean, I guess you could say it, right?

[Fran]

Yeah, you were there.

[Noah]

Haley Bailey.

[Ria]

Oh, yeah.

[Noah]

So she was probably actually on the.

[Fran]

Real, like, 30 on the 34 list.

[Ria]

Whose new Year's Eve were you at?

[Noah]

This was just that Little sister.

[Fran]

Oh.

[Ria]

Oh, okay. That makes a lot more sense.

[Fran]

No. Is that a sick apartment?

[Ria]

Like a New Year's Eve dinner he was at? What am I missing here? That makes sense. At Little sister. Okay, well, then good.

[Noah]

A lot of Murray time. A lot of watching. A lot of watching movies. That's why I asked you guys beforehand.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Noah]

You guys must have a lot, right? Like, I actually need to cut out, like, a lot when we do the weekly Watch Report. I'd have to really narrow it down.

[Fran]

Hey, you talk about what you watch. Don't stop yourself.

[Ria]

You know, when you're just in a house full of people, it's like you just don't control the tv, you know, it's just like, whatever is on is on. And my brother is the king of, like, flipping through the channels and putting on or whatever random movie is on, and then we're stuck watching that. Like, I watched Joe and I watched the entirety of Gone Girl one night, and JB put it on at, like, 11:30pm and Joe was like, is this Gone Girl? I was like, yeah. He's like, I've never seen it. Then all of a sudden, we were stuck till 1:30 watching Gone Girl. JB went to bed at midnight. Like, he was like, I've seen it. Like. But he put it on and I was like, now I'm fucking stuck watching Gone Girl. I didn't go to bed till two because we were watching the whole fucking movie.

[Fran]

Gone Girl's good, though.

[Ria]

Gone Girl is good.

[Fran]

That's a good one. That if someone says, I haven't seen it, you're like, you gotta watch it.

[Ria]

Yes, exactly. Yeah, Yeah.

[Fran]

I couldn't watch.

[Ria]

That's where you're like, I'm not watching any. I didn't watch anything I was supposed to watch.

[Fran]

I couldn't watch a damn thing when I was sick. I couldn't fucking focus. Like I'm. You know, it was dramatic maybe, but if you. If you had the flu the past couple weeks, you know. You know, you know, my eyes hurt. My eyes were in such pain. Leaking, just leaking. And I couldn't watch a damn thing. I couldn't focus on anything. Yeah. But I did. I have a good list of things that I did watch after that point. Yeah. So, guys, let's get into the rest of the topics. We got a lot to talk about and we have weekly watch reports. So we are going to be discussing Timothy Chalamet. 4Raws, Club Chalamet, critics Choice Awards, speech and win couple, you know, got a couple Timmy things to hit.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Although I post on my story. We were talking about Timothy and someone wrote less Timmy. I said, not gonna happen.

[Ria]

Not gonna happen.

[Fran]

Not gonna happen, sweetheart.

[Noah]

They're gonna start calling you Club Shallow.

[Fran]

Somebody did. Someone wrote. Someone wrote. I think you guys are more obsessed than Club Shout. Like, okay, fair. But I'm not following him around town.

[Ria]

Yeah, right.

[Fran]

Okay. I'm just having fever dreams about him. Alex Earl and Tom Brady. Woo. Woo.

[Ria]

[Fran]

Yeah. We're gonna talk all about the St. Bart's takeover. The whole friend group, all of it. Kelsey Ballerini and Chase Stokes. What a messy twosome. What a messy. I know. Son of a pair. I can't. I mean, these two. We'll talk about it.

[Ria]

20, 26. Man, I hope they, you know, good for you guys. Like, hope you figure it out.

[Fran]

Crossing my fingers.

[Ria]

Hope he's on that path, whatever that path is.

[Fran]

Yeah. Joe Jonas girlfriend Tatiana. Gabriella.

[Ria]

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Zach Bryan married to Brianna's clone.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

Gorga Giudice Christmas reunion. I mean, it saved the world. It saved 2025. Kyle Richards and Mauricio.

[Ria]

Oh, maybe a little like reconcile and Aspen.

[Fran]

I don't know. Sometimes I think they do it for the kids. And lastly, role model and Dakota Johnson.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And while we're on the topic, I'd like to say Jake Shane, I feel like went public with a boyfriend as well. We could throw that in there because people thought that maybe had something with role model. Like they were like posting together.

[Ria]

Yeah. But they're just friends. They are friends, but I think people were just like do that. Like they like.

[Fran]

I think people were just like wishing. But now role model is seen with Dakota Johnson. Yeah. And we have weekly watch report. So let's get into it.

I got it. Let's do it.

[Ria]

Chalamet.

[Fran]

Yeah. Timothy Chalamet Golden Globes next Sunday.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

Reminds me of the the Nikki Glazer Adam Sandler Timothy Chalamet joke. So Timothy Chalamet, he's had quite a couple of weeks because Marty supreme was released Christmas Day a Lot of people saw it. A lot of mixed reactions. Some people fucking love it, some people hate it.

[Ria]

Some people hated it.

[Fran]

Which I think was bound to happen.

[Ria]

I, I, I think that's, like I said, it's a sign of a good, interesting movie. You're always going to happen when someone hates, you know, loves, hates a person. You're not boring.

[Fran]

You're always gonna have somebody where people hate on something that is also beloved for sure. Now, I would like to, and I did this sorta already when we first saw Marty supreme, but I would like to do it again and formally apologize to Timothee Chalamet about kind of shitting on the way that he was going about promoting or talking about things like, no, honestly, Fuck yeah, I saw a clip. What?

[Ria]

I think you are Club Chalamet.

[Noah]

I will so proud of you.

[Ria]

Formally apologize to Timothy fucking Brown Noser. Okay, you're gonna again. We already apologized. We apologized last year. We said, oh, Timmy, we totally get it now. You're like, I'm doubling down. I'm telling him again. I told him in my feed of dream and I'm telling him again now.

[Fran]

Oh, shit. Oh, my God, I'm caught. I'm caught. It's because I, I get it, Timmy.

[Ria]

I get what you're doing. I understand you, bro. No one else gets it, but I fucking get it.

[Fran]

I get you, man. I get it. I saw a clip from Tyler the creator talking about this, which is what inspired me to bring this up, because I had sent it to you guys, and I was like, you know what? Fuck yeah. I'm taking this energy into 2026 as well. He was just saying, Timothee Chalamet is so good at what he does. And he was like, fuck all that imposter syndrome bullshit. When someone's like, oh, I don't know if I'm that good. Where Timothee Chalamet is like, no, I'm great, and I'm gonna tell everybody I'm great. And he's like, I want Timothee Chalamet to keep doing that. And I thought that was really nice of him to say. I really liked the clip.

[Ria]

And he did very much, it seemed, go a little bit more back to his true self. Just seeing him doing carpet interviews at Critics Choice, I was like, oh, this feels more Timmy. Like, yeah, he wasn't doing press for the movie.

[Noah]

It was almost too far back in their hunger.

[Ria]

Yeah, like, well, then his speech. Well, talk about his speech. But even with certain interviews, someone asked him like, oh, are you and Kylie Gonna, like, dress up again. He's like, oh, we'll see. We'll see. But, like, I think. I think I'm done with the orange. You know, it's just like, he's did it. He promoted the movie and now he's like, back to. Right. He's back to Tim getting back to himself a little bit. I saw Tick Tock of a girl being like, I saw that movie and I thought, yes, Timmy, you show off your acne scars. Like, good for you. Like, he's just like, us. And then she was like. And then my friend told me it was all fake.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And she was devastated.

[Fran]

But amazing makeup.

[Ria]

Amazing makeup. Amazing makeup. But, yeah, he, he, he went hard for them for the movie promo for sure. And well deserved. And he did win critics choice.

[Fran]

He did win critics choice last night for best actor. And his speech was horrendous. It was so bad. You know, obviously we loved the. The end.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Shout out to Kylie Jenner. Yeah. You know, thank you to my partner of three years. I love our foundation. I love you. I couldn't do this without you. It was really sweet. It was, you know.

[Ria]

You know what really cracked me up too, was like, the cameraman, like, clearly wasn't. Obviously had no idea that was going to happen. So, like, as he's like, I want to thank my partner. 3 years just like on Michael B. Jordan. So for a second it was like, I was like, is his partner of three years, Michael B. Jordan? Like, and it was like, oh, panda, Kylie, quick go.

[Fran]

Yeah, it was, it was an odd speech. He seemed so nervous. And you would think with all the confidence he was mustering up, the past couple of weeks, he'd get up there with like a. I thought he was going to have some grand.

[Noah]

I feel like it was Leo.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I think dead in front of him. He said, like, right when he said, like, I'm looking at you, Leo, I feel like it all went.

[Fran]

I think it all went down.

[Ria]

And I gotta be honest, Leo didn't.

[Fran]

Look too happy for me. I think I'd be up there being like, oh, my God, Leo's not smiling, that I won. Like, you know. Yeah. You start getting a little nervous. He was nervous and ended up being a bad speech. But the Kylie part was so cute.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So that, that was really sweet.

[Ria]

Oh, I'm so happy for them.

[Fran]

They're so cute.

[Ria]

Like, so cute.

[Fran]

People want to hate, but I'm rooting for those two crazy kids for each other. They're, you know, maybe their end game. Maybe. Maybe they get Married. And, you know, there. There was a video someone was filming from the back of them. Her ass. I mean. I know. I know. We know.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But sometimes a video will catch you off guard.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Of it, you're like, holy fuck.

[Ria]

She really is. You know, she's beautiful. And I just. Sometimes with these red carpets now, I just wish, like, it's always, like. It's always a gorgeous dress. You know, she looks gorgeous, but it's always like, a very similar silhouette. And I'm like, give me. Give me something a little different.

[Fran]

We could change it up.

[Ria]

Just like a little fashion risk for me. Just one time. Like something a little, you know, glam. Not just. There's always. She's always glam, but it's.

[Fran]

It's.

[Ria]

It's her style, which is, you know, she's gonna wear what she wants to wear, but I would just love to see her in some. Something like a little more. I don't know what the right word for it is, but just, like, I don't know.

[Fran]

Regal. Yeah. We need to do away from the bodycon prom.

[Ria]

It's just always that style, and it's.

[Fran]

Really harks her and works, but it's. You're never like, oh, wow, that's a gorgeous dress.

[Ria]

Because, you know, and we need something.

[Fran]

Different for the Oscars.

[Ria]

I just love when people can change it up and you're like, yes, I love that. Like, Elle Fanning, to me, always has a very similar style on a carpet. She, you know, dresses, I think, in a. In a mature way. Sometimes I feel like she picks a color that is, like, not super great for her skin tone. And I'm like, it's just always like, a little matronly, which is fine. That's, like, always what she liked. And then she stepped out in that gold dress. Critics dress. I thought, fuck, yeah. Elle, you look fantastic. I love that dress. She looked amazing. But it was something different for her. And I was like. It caught my attention because it was.

[Fran]

Something different for her. Right. I agree. Kylie needs to change it up. I'm hoping for the Oscars.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

Something changes, but other than that, really.

[Ria]

You know, happy, you know, a good sign for Timmy to start off.

[Fran]

The.

[Ria]

Between this and the Palm Springs, whatever was going on in Palm Springs, Film awards, international film, what were they?

[Fran]

Whatever was happening there. All I know is it's fucking crazy that Club Chalamet was allowed in.

[Ria]

She.

[Fran]

She should not have been allowed to.

[Ria]

Sit at her at the table.

[Noah]

She's on the COVID of Rolling Stone.

[Ria]

Like, how did she get in There.

[Fran]

I have no idea how she got in.

[Ria]

Somebody you could buy a ticket to.

[Fran]

She should never have been allowed that close to their table.

[Ria]

Well, I just don't understand. My God, like, security, you would think. You would think security would have her face on every.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

And I love every email on every poster. It's like, hey, guys, like, in the. In the security meeting, they're like, hey, guys, just, like, put the. Just. Just to see this face, you know.

[Fran]

I love that we are now the people that people come to about Club Chalamet. Right. Rodney Fox sent us the tweet yesterday from Club Chalamet where somebody had asked her about Kylie. Or like, did you say hi to Kylie and Club Chalamet wrote, I was interested from. Interest from her. No problems. I. Why are you insinuating that there might be problems?

[Ria]

Club laughed about this all day long. Like, this. She is so funny. That is the funniest thing she could have said.

[Fran]

No problems, no problems.

[Ria]

Don't worry. We had no issues.

[Fran]

No problems.

[Ria]

Like, what could have possibly happened? Did she think Kylie was going to confront her? She was going to, like, no.

[Fran]

My brain is so warped. No problem about Club Chalamet that I'm convinced he gave Kylie a shout out during his acceptance speech because of Club Shalame.

[Ria]

Yeah, right, right.

[Fran]

Like a.

[Ria]

Send a message, get a hint.

[Fran]

You know, this is my lady and you better fucking back off. Like, I genuinely feel like he was speaking to her. Oh, God, the videos. And by the way, they're, like, on tmz. Yeah. They're just creepy. Like, she's popping up to give the tweets right when Kylie is getting up to go to the bathroom, which Timmy's making sure security's with her to go to the bathroom because he has to.

[Ria]

Well, he probably.

[Fran]

No, he sees her right there and then she comes up, gives a hug. He's very nice. Gives her a hug. And then he's back to what he's doing. She made it seem like some whole elaborate thing, you know, rendezvous that they had at the thing. And you see Kylie looking back like, oh, my God, there she is. Like, do you think they go get in the car and they're like, oh, my God, I can't believe she was there.% 1000% 100% to talk about it all evening. And at that point, Club Chalamet's winning.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Because now they're talking about her.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

He. It's a success.

[Ria]

They know where she's going to be.

[Fran]

Yeah. And they.

[Ria]

I'm sure they were prepared for her to be there. It's like they know where that she was planning to be there. And I would really love to know how that happens or really what the event. Like, this was an event. You could just. Could you just buy a ticket to this thing? Like, I just don't get in.

[Fran]

The ticket gets you that close to them.

[Ria]

That's what I'm saying.

[Fran]

Right behind them.

[Ria]

Man, she must know anyone could just.

[Noah]

Walk up to their table like no one was stopping them.

[Ria]

Well, that's what I'm saying.

[Fran]

How do you even get in the room?

[Ria]

Must. She must work that room.

[Noah]

Credentialed.

[Fran]

She's got some sort in. She's the most connected person in Hollywood.

[Ria]

Honestly, there's probably like four guys in the broom closet who stole all their.

[Fran]

Right. And she locked them in there. They're still. Right now. They're still screaming to get out the.

[Ria]

Palm Springs Film Festival Awards.

[Noah]

Well, she was watching the critics choice from home. I saw. Yeah, she was taking pictures of her tv.

[Fran]

Thank God. She probably cried herself to sleep last night after that. That. Thank you to Kylie. It's not a good night for her. Starting off her month, her first Monday of 2026 with that talk about it.

[Noah]

People were making fun of her that she was tweeting like, I hugged Timmy. I told him like, whatever. And then the hug was like, he wasn't even, like, looking at her. It was like a side hug for a second.

[Fran]

I just. I just said all that. I did just say all that.

[Ria]

New year.

[Fran]

Same Noah. It's all right. It's all right.

[Noah]

I literally was just thinking, like 20 minutes ago, like. Like, don't do that this year.

[Fran]

Yep. You did it. It's okay.

[Ria]

I think. I think you could maybe buy tickets to this event.

[Fran]

Either way, she got there.

[Ria]

That's a resource right now.

[Fran]

And. Or snuck through.

[Ria]

Or maybe she was invited.

[Fran]

Maybe Timmy's biggest fans get invited. I didn't get an invite.

[Ria]

She must have dropped in a good amount of dough on this. Perhaps a VIP platinum seat.

[Fran]

How much?

[Ria]

$2,600.

[Fran]

Anything for him.

[Ria]

Includes cocktail hour, dinner, award show, and after party.

[Fran]

It's a good ticket. Yeah, it's pricey.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But in her eyes, she's probably like, oh, that's nothing. Yeah.

[Ria]

She may have gotten one of the other levels. That was. That was the lowest level.

[Fran]

Oh, she got the highest level. You know, she got the one that included a hug.

[Ria]

Right? Oh, Christ. Okay. Well, you know, she. She got what she wanted. And no problems with Kylie.

[Fran]

No problems.

[Ria]

Don't worry.

[Fran]

Last thing About Timothee Chalamet, which honestly saved my sickness cuz, you know, this dropped and I just watched it on repeat even though cuz I couldn't watch him rapping. Him rapping with Sdkid? Yeah. Amazing. I loved it so much.

[Ria]

Other people, not the same person.

[Fran]

They're not the same person. I loved this. I. I went through a phase this week where, you know, it's not on Spotify, so I couldn't listen to his verse. So I just open up Instagram and just listen. Yeah. Over and over and over again.

[Ria]

You know, it's not on Spotify.

[Fran]

It's not. Which it should be.

[Ria]

I'm surprised Sdkid has not released it on Spotify.

[Fran]

No, he has the song for. For Raws, but not the Timothy Chalamet version. So you know, I'm on Instagram listening to it over and over again. Some people fucking hated it. They were like, please get this off.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Not.

[Ria]

I. I know some people don't want Timothy to, you know, really explore these other avenues that he. He obviously enjoys doing. One of them being rapping and why not, guys? Why not?

[Fran]

He loves. There are so many videos and it's fun. Of Timothy Jalamet from years and years and years ago where he is rapping about getting dome on the daily. Okay. This is one of Timothy's passions and it has been for quite some time. So you know what? He got to live out his dream. He did. So I'm happy.

[Ria]

It was catchy.

[Fran]

It's very catchy. Another Kylie shout out in there said my girl got a billion. Everyone's excited about that.

[Ria]

Yeah. And he was on the gingerbread house at Christmas.

[Fran]

He was.

[Ria]

His name was on the house.

[Fran]

Listen, they got a strong foundation.

[Ria]

Yep. His name was on the house.

[Fran]

Yeah. Very happy about that. Yeah. But I will continue to listen to this rap on Instagram and as many times as you want. As many times as I want in hopes that maybe it'll put on Spotify. Yeah, probably not.

[Ria]

You might just have to like download it. Download that bad boy.

[Fran]

Yeah. Limewire. Who knows, Screen record it so you can just save your videos. That's like creepy. You know, moving along. Listen, this news hit. I forgot about this actually one part of my. My vacation. Oh, it's my first college football game.

[Ria]

Yeah, you did?

[Fran]

Yeah. That was exciting. It was. It was Oregon, Texas Tech. And we were rooting for Texas Tech because Matt had put a bet on Texas Tech at the very beginning of the season. They lost. They lost. So, you know, but I think it was the day before, we had seen, like, the. The team being escorted, driving. Is there a game in town?

[Ria]

The big game.

[Fran]

The big games in town. My gosh, I've never been to a college football game. Let's go. Granted, different kind of college football games. Not at the stadium of the team or whatever, but.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

Miami plays there.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And whatever. So I got to go to, you know. Yeah. And it was. It was the Orange Bowl. It was great vibes. Saw Third Eye Blind perform at halftime. Yeah. Got my feels a little bit.

[Ria]

A lot going on in Miami, let me tell you. Between that and the winter class, Winter.

[Fran]

Classic, the whole thing. So, you know, I think I had so many people respond, being like, this is your first college football game. You've been working at barstool for 10 years is the first time. And I was like, yeah, actually, I'm pretty.

[Ria]

Just like, what. What would you have been to?

[Fran]

I don't know. I think it's because it's just like.

[Ria]

Just like, you would have gone at some point.

[Fran]

At some point.

[Ria]

But I never have.

[Fran]

So. It was fun. Got some chicken tenders and fries.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

It was a blast. But then I said, we got to hit the casino, because it's right around here. And I'm on my way to the casino. I get a text from you.

[Ria]

Mm.

[Fran]

A storm has hit. Mm. Alex Earl.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And Tom Brady.

[Ria]

Yeah. What was so interesting was, like, pictures and videos were circulating before they hit the Internet.

[Fran]

So.

[Ria]

And when I say before they hit the Internet, I mean, like, 30 minutes before they hit the Internet.

[Fran]

It wasn't. So.

[Ria]

It wasn't like we had some inside. Crazy inside source, but, like, videos were sent. And you know what? Once you hear the connection, it's like, oh, this will be on the Internet in two seconds. Because it was like, my friend's brother's cousin's girlfriend's sister sent me this video. And there was a lot of them. They got sent to Gia. They got sent out. Like, we just. And then I send them to you. And then we were like, holy shit. Alex Earl and Tom Brady. Look at them. Insane. Barts, we're freaking out. And then I'm like, it's only a matter of time before this pops up. And it landed on Twitter. And then, of course, like, Dumois had a million videos. And then it went absolutely crazy.

[Fran]

Within 30 minutes.

[Ria]

Within 30.

[Fran]

But when you texted me.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And we had this shit before it hit the interwebs. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, God. We were.

[Ria]

We had, like.

[Fran]

We were. We had a 20 minute. 20 minutes.

[Ria]

Whoa.

[Fran]

Being like, oh, my God, the Internet's gonna fucking freak out. And then I sent it to my friends who also work on the interwebs.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And then within 20 seconds, they had gotten it. And I was like, oh, this shit's circulating.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah, it's going around fast.

[Fran]

But the way that I screamed when I saw these videos, like, I, like, genuinely. I. I was like, no way. Like, the real. It was like, the perfect news to hit on a New Year's week. Right.

[Ria]

New Year's Day.

[Fran]

Because it could be slow sometimes during.

[Ria]

The break for us, it was around, like. It was around, like, 1:30pm yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Cause I sat down for brunch at 1. That was my reservation. And the text came in around 1:30.

[Fran]

It was. Yes, it was. And I was jazzed up. I was like, oh, my God. Yeah, there is no fucking way this is happening. Because when you think about when you break it down, right?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Braxton and Alex, they break up. All right. And here's the people that are like, oh, she was so sad about her breakup. I don't believe it. That's not true. Like, please. Yeah, you're gonna. Like, you could be sad, but clearly they're not together. And clearly, if she really.

[Ria]

Everyone wants to knock a girl who's just trying to have a little flirt.

[Fran]

Here's the thing. If she really wanted to be with or really thought that Braxton was her person, they would not have broken up. Think about it like that. Like, clearly her.

[Ria]

It's New Year's Eve.

[Fran]

She's not so attached to Braxton. They broke up.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yes. You could be sad about a breakup, but you're clearly interested in other people because you broke up. Yep. So, you know what I mean? If you broke up with him, which I think was what I think everyone assumed was that they broke up. So the way that people reacted about this, I honestly was like, wait, why are people, like, so mad at both of them? Like, everyone was so mad at Alex Earl for fucking flirting with Tom Brady. First of all, I don't like Tom Brady. Yeah, Right. I am not a Tom Brady fan. No, I know. Yeah. But now I know I'm not going to. I am not going to knock a single girl on New Year's Eve who's in Save Bart's getting her freaking freak on for flirting with Tom Brady who is flirting with her.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Like, what I do find.

[Ria]

And this is. This is my brief analysis of the Internet reaction to this, that really, you could break it down into. Into age groups where you have the younger Generation. These young people who are mega, mega, mega fans of Alex Earl, who to them, Tom Brady is the worst possible thing that could ever happen. And he's so old that they can't even fathom talking to a person that old. Like, they couldn't possibly talk to somebody his age. Like, he's so old to them. Then there's us. There's this like, millennial middle ground who very much understand Tom Brady.

[Fran]

We know who Tom Brady is.

[Ria]

And then there is the older generation who is like our parents who are like, who's Alex Earl? Like, you know, it's like they. That's like, oh, you know. Or. And that's also the older women who fucking love Tom Brady so much that it's like, oh, he must Pat, who we work with here, posing the screenshot of the text from his mom, being like, he's like, clearly he's going through a lot. She's all just got remarried. Like, it's just so fucking funny to me. It's just like, then, then there's that where we fall in the pool, where it's like, she is young in St. Barth's flirting with the best football player of all time. And like, do it for the plot. Like, it's not. It's such a. Do it for the plot. And we talked about this and honestly, the two of us send the exact same thing into different group chats. Like you said to us. I'd send to my. To my friends tours. Like, if one of my friends had that opportunity, I'd be like, I'm not saying go fucking date Tom Brady. No, yuck. But like, to have the story of I had a night with Tom Brady, do it.

[Fran]

You gotta do it.

[Ria]

Do it.

[Fran]

You're waking up the next day FaceTiming all your friends that your New Year's kiss was Tom Brady. That's why you do it. You do it for the story. You do it for the 5am debrief with Kelly Teller and Nina Dobrev. You don't do it to date Tom Brady.

[Ria]

That's why everyone's like, oh, my God, they're dating. Like, they're not fucking dating.

[Fran]

Right. The way that everyone jumped to be like, Tom Brady and Alex are dating. They're not fucking dating. They're having a one night in St. Bart's hookup rendezvous and doing it for the story. I mean, she's a single girl.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

In St. Barts.

[Ria]

It's Tom Brady.

[Fran]

What's in the prime of her life.

[Ria]

Yes. And, and yes. Is Tom Brady literally, like, the exact same age as her dad. Yes.

[Fran]

And it's Tom Brady. Like, listen, we have had our fair share of hate on Tom Bradley on this podcast, but Tom Brady is undoubtedly the greatest football player of all time.

[Ria]

100%. I think Tom Brady is a weirdo.

[Fran]

As well, but I agree, he's a robotic freak.

[Ria]

Yes. But if we were out in the fucking club in St. Barts and one of my, like, he showed interest in one of my friends, I'd be like.

[Fran]

Ah, you gotta do it. You gotta do it.

[Ria]

Like, you just gotta just see what happens.

[Fran]

Single friend, you go, yeah, got it. He's interested.

[Ria]

You gotta see what happens. You gotta see the guy's fucking dancing with his flashlight on in his back pocket.

[Noah]

That video was so funny.

[Ria]

Literally, he's old, like, oh, and.

[Fran]

But he's Tom Brady.

[Ria]

And yeah, it is the younger generation, like, okay, pop, pop, right?

[Fran]

Somebody put him to bed. But I just don't understand the extreme hate, like I said.

[Ria]

And also, by the way, clearly didn't give a shit because from these videos, it seemed like this is how everyone was out with, like, them in the club. Oh, my God, it's Alex Earl Tobre. Their phone was in their face.

[Fran]

And by the way, yes, people are thinking about Braxton barriers in the situation. Your worst nightmare. No, but I have a defense to this. Yeah, yeah, your worst nightmare, right. Your worst fucking nightmare is your girlfriend breaks up with you and starts dating your hero. Right? Or not. Hate start. Sorry, not dating. Hooks up with your hero publicly on the first day of the new year.

[Ria]

And who knows if that even happens? Who knows? They could have just been flirting. They were never kicking.

[Fran]

Yeah, but I'll say this. I. I saw a video similar to this, and it's kind of true. Braxton Barrios was dating Sofia Culpo. Braxton Barrios breaks up Sofia Coppo and starts dating the Tom Brady of influencers. So, you know, like, it happens. Yeah, it happens.

[Ria]

And then you get best at your own games and like, it's just like, it happens.

[Fran]

And people, you know, they move on. And sometimes they're gonna be better in your field than you. Yeah.

[Ria]

And that's like, kind of. I mean, he's number one.

[Fran]

Tom Brady is number one. You can't. I said it's actually, Matt and I were having this debate, like, what would be worse if it was Joe Burrow or Tom Brady? You know what I mean? Because, like, Joe Burrow around the same age.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

Hot quarterback. Or like, I. I actually think that might be worse where it's Tom Brady. We're like, God, it's fucking Tom Brady. That's my hero. I mean, I get it.

[Ria]

It's almost worth, like, a giggle from everyone around, like.

[Fran]

Yeah, like.

[Ria]

Like, I don't know how mad you really get. You're like, ah, fuck.

[Fran]

Right? No, like, Braxton Brady was telling his.

[Noah]

Boys, they play on the same team for one year. I don't know if that matters.

[Ria]

But here's the thing, though.

[Fran]

In my eyes, they're not teammates. That was Tom Brady's employee.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Like, you know Tom Brady been like.

[Ria]

Hey, I was dating Braxton Barris. He might be like, who?

[Fran]

Right? Like, Tom Brady is the. Was the boss. He wasn't like, a teammate kind of guy.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, So I don't know. This whole thing is just. I imagine. Listen, people are like, Braxton Barrios distraught. Whatever. I think Braxton Barrios is looking at his boys like, yep.

[Ria]

Right?

[Fran]

Yep. Guys, Tom Brady. It's. It has. It is like, you said, it is worth a giggle. It is 100 kind of funny.

[Ria]

I think the guy. I think his guy friend group chat was probably popping off in the funniest way.

[Fran]

In the funniest way. Like, because he's also old. So you do have that. Yeah, you have that edge to be like, oh, he's old, but he's also.

[Ria]

Almost 50 years old. Like, and he's gotten so much shit in his.

[Fran]

Oh, my God, he's got, like, lip filler.

[Ria]

It's like, he's. It's too much. And I. And who know, you know, the fact that if you're like, oh, Tom Brady's so clearly flirting with me, I just have to see how this goes.

[Noah]

Did you see?

[Ria]

I just got to see, like, what. What could he possibly say?

[Fran]

And you're on this. You're on this boat with Miles Teller. Kelly Teller, Glenn Powell, Nina Dobred, Michelle Randolph, manager Miles, who I think is like, the Palm Tree Crew, put this whole group together for vacation on the yacht.

[Ria]

Well, it's this fucking CEO of Ripple. It's this guy who chartered the boat. Is this Garling House, whatever his name is. And it was like, clearly, these billionaires who then just, like, accumulate these celebrity friends. And I do think he isn't. I saw a video explaining it, too, that he's an investor of Sit Marks.

[Fran]

Mm. Exactly. So there is actually no debrief. I would want to be a part of more than a Kelly Teller Nina Dobrev debrief in the morning at 5am I just can't imagine the Euphoria of that of, you know, you get home and you're sitting around in your PJs that Kelly Teller makes, and she gives them all to you. And you just talk shit and you gossip and you talk about everything that happened that night, and it just seems like a blast. And now that was a whole other conversation that people were really.

[Ria]

People were fascinated by this specific group on this boat, but also just about.

[Fran]

The celebrities and Saint Barts in general. This has always been a thing. Like, it has always been same bars that all the celebrities and rich people are in. The billionaires go to St. Bart's and people were, like, freaking out about it in a weird way and, like, kind of like getting mad at influence or people being at Saint Barts. I'm like, this has been going on since the beginning of time. Like, I don't know.

[Ria]

It really is crazy, to be honest, how much I think Alex Earl does shift, like, the perspective on these things. I don't know what it is. I think because she is so big on TikTok and has these fans that are young and vocal that they're just, like, learning all this stuff or seeing all this stuff for the first time, and they think that it's all brand new because Alex is there.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You know, so it's like, it's all new to them. They're like, what's going on this boat? Or, like, they're disappointed that Alex is on a billionaire's yacht. Doing what? And then they're talking about yachting and, like, talking about all these. It's like, all right, everybody just like.

[Fran]

Yachting is totally different than what was happening here. Is sleeping with older men who are billionaires on their yachts. Yes.

[Noah]

Yes.

[Fran]

That. This is not. That.

[Ria]

No. Like, no. This seems like, you know, like I said, some big groups, holiday trip. They.

[Fran]

This.

[Ria]

This couple hosted. They got a shit ton of money. Clearly charter this boat. Everybody's invited. Looks like a lot of. There was definitely a lot of business connections. Investors in SIP Marks. I think Palm Tree crews also may be in on Sip Marks. There's just, like, a lot. A lot of connections. And it's like, oh, let me invite my friend, Corridor Street. Like, it's just like. Then they're like. Then it's their friend group. Like, that's like their group of friends that they have. And it extends. I will say we. You know, I think everybody went deep into this. Into this group. And my friends were also cracking me up because they were like, I am literally searching every single person that's that's on this boat. And it did seem like they were having a grand old time watching Miles and Glenn dance. And people just fucking love Kelly Taylor. Like, posting tiktoks like a normal person. They're like, yeah, thank you, Kelly, for, like, posting videos from inside the club of the inside scoop of what's happening. But there's one couple Nina Dobrev is like, I think, well, they all really are. Are really good friends with. She was also on Vampire Diaries. And I forget what her name is. Her name is. Oh, my goodness. What is her name?

[Fran]

Kayla.

[Ria]

Yes, Kayla. Her name is Kayla. She is married to this guy Tanner, who was on the trip. And Tanner seemed to be there by himself without his wife. He's got two small children, too. And, like, everyone was like, well, where the is his wife? Like, it's like. And then I'm like, guys, we're going. We're in way too deep now. We're in way too deep. We have no clue. Maybe one of the kids got sick before the trip and. And she said, I'm gonna stay home, but you should go on the fucking mega yacht with all of our friends. You know, it's a we. Or maybe she. You just never know. But I just see, like, all these people, like, just dissecting every single person. Who's this person? Who's that person? Who's that person? Because Nina was posting pictures with Tanners and they were. I'm like, it's her. Literally, like her best friend's husband. Just crazy.

[Fran]

It is.

[Ria]

It went deep. It went real deep.

[Fran]

It did. And I just feel like, the reaction.

[Ria]

Or overreaction to love the way Alex respond. Like, not even a response, but just, like, the, like, subtle TikTok the video posted afterwards. Perfection.

[Fran]

Some pictures and rumors. Rumor has it we're still dancing. That's the way you handle it. And did you see her dad make a joke? Ash Earl, who is not shy. I told you. She's always making a TikTok that gets people talking. Her dad in the background was like, I got that jacket because Tom Brady was wearing one. And then, you know, you hear the kids laughing so hard. Ashley's laughing and she's like, I'm not cutting that out. I'm putting it up. So I can only imagine, right? Everybody's laughing about it's dad calling her the next day being like, tom Brady.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, your dad's having two reactions to that. Either he's hyped up or he's fucking pissed at you.

[Ria]

It's both.

[Fran]

Yeah, it's both. Yeah. It's a little bit of like Tom Brady.

[Ria]

It's like Tom Brady. Yeah.

[Fran]

You know?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Really? But why?

[Ria]

I think it's a little bit of like, how the. Did I get here?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You know?

[Fran]

Yeah. Well, listen, we. We support the. The endeavor, you know, and people just gotta chill the fuck out.

[Ria]

Yeah. It's from. From what we have of these. Like this. The video is all we have. We don't. Anything else is speculation. It's like from what we saw. That's a. That's nothing.

[Fran]

No. You know, is Tom Brady going through a midlife crisis? Absolutely. 100. Absolutely. He is. 100. I'm not gonna root for them to date if I start seeing them go on dates and stuff.

[Ria]

No, no, no, no. I'm rooting for that. Please.

[Fran]

One night in Saint bar.

[Ria]

Rendezvous in Saint bars.

[Noah]

His stories. When Giselle, like, had announced that he, like, was playing Landslide. No, he. Well, that. And he played like a. That logic rap song with like, the suicide prevention. He had that on his story.

[Fran]

He was really going through it. Yeah, he was. Yeah. Tom is having a midlife crisis and Alex Earl's the answer. Moving on. Kelsey Ballerini and Chase Stokes. I mean, these two, like, I bet that every time these two posts they go, why the fuck did I post that after? Because they posted for. On New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Like, it just didn't need to be posted. And you know, we didn't. We didn't need to see any of this. We didn't. Messy year for the heart. Messy year for the outside coming in. Messy year for the way it became an out of our hands portrayal of it. But what I'll say, and all I really care to share indefinitely with my personal life anymore is that I really love love. I believe in it. I believe in him and I believe in breaking patterns. Now go kiss your person and stop speculating. Now listen. A messy year for the way it became an out of our good hands portrayal of it. What do you mean? Chase got online and said he was blocked by you. What do you mean? Out of hand's betrayal?

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, some hands.

[Fran]

He did it. Yeah. Her. I think she said out of our hands. No, out of your hand betrayal. Because your man got online and was talking about being blocked by you. Yeah. So obviously we all were speculating what was happening and then he posted. And here's what my assumption or me being nosy because they've welcomed us into all of this thoughts are about this is that Outer Banks wrapped Up and things were suddenly all right. You know, she can. She can maybe be okay with whatever was happening there. He made his caption with a bunch of pictures of them. Something I've learned this year. Don't take advantage of the most beautiful things that in 33 years of life are fleeting. Take accountability. Learn from mistakes. Lean into love, and say it often. 2026, my year of growth. My year of truth. Starting here, starting now. Happy New Year's. There is no one more dramatic on the Internet than Chase Stokes. Yeah.

[Ria]

To be quite honest, he's a big.

[Fran]

My truth.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah, to be quite honest, this, like, I saw this and when I. You know what? I'm gonna wipe my hands of these two. Good. Good luck. I wish you both well.

[Fran]

It's not good for them. It's a good luck.

[Ria]

No good. I wish. I wish you both well. Truly. Like, I, It's.

[Fran]

This is where hearts.

[Ria]

Yeah, this. Yeah. Like, okay. You know, you read it, you go, all right. Just like, okay. Literally, like, okay, we.

[Fran]

We don't care anymore.

[Ria]

Yeah. You know, if you guys are in a good place, you're working it out.

[Fran]

Great.

[Ria]

And that seems to be where it is. Yes, there has been a million opinions and posts and other, you know, rumors and things, and that has clearly taken up a lot of this past year. But I don't know, they were able to wear it out. Chase posted a picture. It was like him with the. A dish towel that said, it is what it is. Which is literally what he posted on his Instagram story when he was like, I'm blocked. It is what it is. Like, So I don't know. They must be laughing about it. Oh, who knows? But they see, like, at this point, I'm like, bloop lips zipped. Okay, you two.

[Fran]

At this point, I'm not rooting for them or against them. I'm just like, good luck, best wishes. You. Do you. I don't want to be a part of it.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, their friends are probably exhausted.

[Ria]

They're like, hey, well, you know, like, hey, I'm done sharing my personal life in 2026.

[Fran]

Well, you're not done because you just shared this. You know what I mean? It's like a never ending cycle. I'm done sharing my personal life. But here you go.

[Ria]

Also, that's her bread and butter.

[Fran]

Sorry.

[Ria]

Like, Kelsey Ballerini is. I, I, she's an amazing songwriter and storyteller. I think, like, I think she's great and I love her music, and that's what she does. So it's like the ups and downs she shares through her music and no one wants her to stop doing that.

[Fran]

No.

[Ria]

So I don't know, maybe it's more of like a social media type thing of. Of being a little less accessible perhaps. But he seems to be like, I'm ready to make social media silly again. Because there was a time he was very silly on social media and then it got very serious. And then now I'm like, yeah, look, we can go back to silly.

[Fran]

Xxc.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I think that's like his sign off. He loves doing that. It's very dramatic. Yeah, he's a dramatic guy once again, you know? Yeah.

[Ria]

You two crazy kids. Hope it works out.

[Fran]

Hope it works out for you. Zach Bryan got married in Spain to Brianna's look alike. Now here's the thing. You can't fault the girl for looking like Brianna. You just gotta fault Zach Bryan for being a freak who found, like a Brianna clone.

[Ria]

Well, didn't she, like, go to Breeze?

[Fran]

Well, that. That's the old. I was just gonna add that, though. You can falter though, for Brianna told the story that. But apparently leaning into it, she brought a photo of Brie to a hair. The hair salon that Brie goes to to get her hair done. Like her. Now you can definitely fault her for that. That's.

[Ria]

That's exactly weird about Bree's hair too.

[Fran]

I believe so. Yes. Yes.

[Ria]

So, yeah, like, there's some weird. Yeah, that's some weird going on right there where he's like, he liked her. Right. Because didn't like he, like, like her hair darker.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

And she went in to get the same hair as her, like.

[Fran]

Yes. Yeah. I don't. I don't know.

[Ria]

Let me tell you something. I would be scared to be left in a room with him.

[Fran]

No, honestly, when I saw that this girl married him, I thought, oh, my God, somebody watch out for her. Yep.

[Noah]

Good.

[Fran]

Good luck to her.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Happy it's not Bri. Yeah, you know, relieved. Relieved that Bri did not end up marrying this man.

[Ria]

Thank God.

[Fran]

Thank God. And worried for this girl for sure. Because, you know, he is no good.

[Ria]

No good.

[Fran]

He's no good. And this is insane. Like, this is really insane.

[Ria]

People thought it was a music video because they were like, this can't be real. No, this is insane.

[Fran]

Like, yeah, Brie and him broke up, what, like, in November of last year. And then he started dating this girl like, six months later. And then now they're married. Like, it's all like, they got married within six months in this Fucking gorgeous.

[Ria]

Church in Spain that doesn't deserve him even entering into it.

[Fran]

It was literally. It was a stunning church. I don't know how he was allow. But it was a really beautiful.

[Ria]

I have to say, beautiful.

[Fran]

It was. And I sent that to you guys. I said, I gotta say, terrible, but beautiful church.

[Ria]

And I hope she doesn't mind that I share. This was cracking me up. So we're on the beach. She's on her phone. She just had, like an outburst because the more pictures they posted, she got. He's just so short and ugly. And I'm just like. I'm done with looking at my phone today.

[Fran]

Yeah. I mean, she's not.

[Ria]

Yeah, no, it's just like.

[Fran]

And then he posted a picture with her and wrote, tougher than the rest. That was his marriage announcement. Tougher than the what, Zach? What is that supposed to mean? Oh, she can handle. You know what you got. I don't like any bit of this. That. That's like an insane.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

What an insane thing to make the caption of you getting married tougher than the rest. And I don't care if it's like a nod to a country song or whatever it is. I don't care. That is a fucking bizarre. And I would be. Yeah, Yeah, I would be. I would be afraid of that caption.

[Ria]

Right. You know, just made the caption like my wife.

[Fran]

Right. Yeah. No tougher than the rest. No, I. Like, that's really weird. He's really weird.

[Ria]

The way I zoomed. The way I zoomed in on them at the altar. Cause I was like. I had to try and figure out if he was standing on a step higher than her.

[Fran]

Was he?

[Ria]

I couldn't tell. Cause her dress was hiding her feet.

[Fran]

It's just. I mean, listen, best of luck to this girl because, like, I. I just don't know how anybody let her go through bad news. I don't know how anybody let her go through with it.

[Ria]

I know.

[Fran]

You know, you hear the stories and. And, yeah. You let your friend go through with this.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

I mean, my God.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Just glad it wasn't.

[Ria]

Wonder what that prenup looked like if.

[Fran]

You know, if I'm Bri. I'm actually.

[Ria]

For sure.

[Fran]

I'm actually thrilled that this. That this didn't happen to me. Yeah.

[Ria]

You know, I can just only imagine, like, the. The. That they want to breed a sign. Like, what. What is this girl signing?

[Fran]

What did this girl do to sign her life away to this man?

[Ria]

Yeah, the prenup is.

[Fran]

And I saw apparently his first wife got engaged, so people think that he went and did this because she got engaged.

[Ria]

He would do that.

[Fran]

I think he's a sick man.

[Ria]

I think so, too.

[Fran]

And this whole thing is really sick. To be with somebody who looks. It. It's identical.

[Ria]

No, it's.

[Fran]

It's bizarre. It's really bizarre. I want to tell a story, but I. I'm nervous, so I won't use names, but I'll tell it. Okay. There is somebody who came. I don't know if. If she DM'd him or he DM'd her or whatever. Maybe it was an app or whatever. And this person was like, this girl looks so much like Bri. I can't. You know what I mean? Because, like, we. He knows Brie, and he was like, this girl looks so much like Bri that I would feel weird, like, you know, going on a date with her or. Oh, you're talking about before Zach.

[Ria]

She came up on someone.

[Fran]

Yes, yeah, yeah. Before Zach.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And had said this to multiple of us, being like, doesn't this girl look brave? And we're like, oh, my God. And he was like, I think it's. I think it's too close. Right. And then all of a sudden, she starts dating Zach Bryant. Yeah, yeah. And everyone's like, this girl looks exactly like Bray. Yeah, Yeah.

[Ria]

I mean, it's.

[Fran]

It's.

[Ria]

There's no escaping the. The doppelganger allegations.

[Fran]

You can't. And it's. I think it's very sick of him.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I think it's really weird. Yeah. Moving on. Joe Jonas out in public with his. With his gf, Tatiana.

[Ria]

Tatiana.

[Fran]

Stunning.

[Ria]

He's so gorgeous.

[Fran]

And I think that they had been seen out multiple times before.

[Ria]

She's. She's been around, it seemed. You're like.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Believe me, if you're like me, you've known about Tatiana for quite some time.

[Fran]

Yeah, I think it's been, like, more on the low key because I think Joe was really loving the thirst. The thirstiness at his concerts and him trying and him playing into that single. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you could fawn over me type thing.

[Ria]

Well, that won't change.

[Fran]

But then the. No, it won't. But then the tour ended and it was like, all right, here we are out in public with the kids.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, they were. It just feels like maybe the holidays. You spend the holidays together, things are a little more serious. This has been, I think, since, like, at least the summer, and they've been seen around New York a ton.

[Fran]

And.

[Ria]

Recently, this past week is when he, like, commented on one of her Instagrams. And I had people freaking out, too. So it was like, I felt like a little bit of, of some confirmation. But, yeah, it's, that's. They seem to be a couple, which, like I said, it's not breaking news to me, but to many it was.

[Fran]

You're like, this is boring news, because we already know too many.

[Ria]

To many it was. And they've all been in Miami. They did their New Year's Eve show, and then I think, like, a lot of them, a lot of the family stayed down in Miami for, For, you know, in between that time and whatnot. So, yeah, some people saw Madeline, saw him in the.

[Fran]

We went to dinner. Yeah.

[Ria]

My friend Madeline saw him in the lobby of a hotel in Miami, like, a couple days ago. So he's, he's around, you know, and they're having a good time. Did you see him?

[Fran]

No. Oh, I didn't. But I thought about going to that place.

[Ria]

Oh, yeah.

[Fran]

They were the addition in Miami. Yeah. Yeah. And I thought about going to go. I think it's like, try. They're all gone. Try to get, like a massage or something. And I didn't end up going, but to think that I could have ran into them.

[Ria]

Yeah. I think, like, yeah, it seemed. And, you know, they were having a, they were having a lovely little time. I know that they. There's like, some paparazzi pictures of them out with Joe's girls as well, so.

[Fran]

Very nice.

[Ria]

Yeah. Which, you know, you don't, you don't see those girls often.

[Fran]

No.

[Ria]

Because, you know, for their own privacy, they don't like them to be, to be seen, which is totally incompletely fair. They're so young. But, yeah, that's it. They're. They're a couple.

[Fran]

Yeah. Happy for them. Good for them. Yeah. I'm deciding which one we want to go with next. While we're on the topic of couples, might as well talk about role model and Dakota Johnson. They were seen out canoodling. Kissing.

[Ria]

A lot of canoodling, apparently.

[Fran]

I don't understand the role model craze. I'm not, like, in on it. You know, people, he's. Love him.

[Ria]

He's not your type. No, I, I, that's fine.

[Fran]

That's fine.

[Ria]

I just really can't get past the fact that his name is Tucker Pillsbury, you know, like, that.

[Fran]

I knew his name was Tucker. I didn't know his last name was Pillsbury.

[Ria]

Yeah, his. Yeah.

[Fran]

Doughboy.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

So to me, like, every time I See him, I'm like freaking Tucker Pillsbury.

[Fran]

Well, I think about him with Emma Chamberlain.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I do all the time too. And sometimes I'm like, Emma must just be like, damn, he really did the whole music thing.

[Fran]

Like, he really got. You know, I'm looking at the TV.

[Ria]

At the Winter Classic.

[Fran]

He's.

[Ria]

He's doing some performance at the Winter Classic. My God, this guy's everywhere.

[Fran]

I saw people upset that Biz wasn't Sally.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, he should have been. Yeah, he really, I mean, he really would have been. And he would have been hysterical. Yeah, because like, no offense to Chuck Brothers, but like, whatever.

[Fran]

Yeah, Biz would win. Good.

[Ria]

Biz would like. Biz would have brought the energy more, I think.

[Fran]

I just. People go crazy, like, you know, salivating over this man.

[Ria]

They do. They love him. They love his music. I do love. I do love a bunch of his songs. Me and Joe have been listening non stop to one that I'm forgetting what the heck the name of it is. I'm not. It's not gonna come to me. But he is great. And I saw him. When did I see him? He opened for Gracie Abrams.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

When I went with Gia. And he's great. He's fun and he's like. He's got that, you know, very dry humor that I feel like girls love. He's very sarcastic and funny and like.

[Noah]

He'S got a lot of.

[Ria]

He's got a lot of bits.

[Noah]

Yeah, he'll always be like, all right, everyone, I'm gonna bring out. And then he says like Harry Styles and people go crazy.

[Fran]

And he's like.

[Noah]

I'm like, yeah, he's not here.

[Ria]

He's got some bits that he does. People love.

[Fran]

Classic.

[Ria]

But yeah, I. This is. I appreciate Dakota Johnson going from like world wide known pop star to like young up and coming pop star. You know, she was like, oh, Chris Martin, I'll go role model.

[Fran]

They're really.

[Ria]

And it's not like a crazy. I know people are like, ah, it's not really a crazy like age thing. I think she's like eight years older than him. It's not that nuts.

[Fran]

Yeah, it's no Tom Brady and Alex Earl.

[Ria]

No, no, no, no, no, it is not. But they. Yeah, it just seemed like they're having a little fling. They've been spotted a bunch. I think they were like out in New York and then canoodling on New Year's Eve. Whatever New Year's Eve party they were at, they were connected.

[Fran]

I don't have much to say about it. It's more like that's. That's fun.

[Ria]

Yeah. I feel like it's like just really does actually mark the end of her and Chris Martin, which is. Which was sad because I felt like that, you know, if that felt like a good thing. But maybe not. Maybe.

[Fran]

Maybe not. Maybe not. Clearly not. Yep. Kyle Mauricio. Kyle Richards and Mauricio. They were spotted in Aspen, you know, a little family trip, which they did do last year, but that was, you know, didn't seem as connected. Now people are talking about maybe them reconnecting, getting a little bit cozier.

[Ria]

Seemed like perhaps that, you know, they.

[Fran]

Were.

[Ria]

More together than usual when they were out. That they looked cozy and comfortable with each other, which of course they would. They were married for forever. But I, I saw this. I said, please God, if there is a God, let these two reconnect. They're meant to be together, these two. Like, you know, I think they just had a moment. They got married really young. They were together for so long. Mauricio had whatever frickin meltdown he had. And Kyle's. They got to like.

[Fran]

Kyle's lesbian. Yeah.

[Ria]

They got to like go out and like have fun and hook up with who they wanted to and do what they want. And now if they find their way back to each other, I would be ecstatic.

[Fran]

Me too. I mean, I feel like, you know, that was probably good for them that they. They want to explore other things. Kyle did confirm on Beverly Hills that she did have another relationship, which I think we all assume.

[Ria]

Yeah, I think it's all pretty clear what happened.

[Fran]

What happened?

[Ria]

You put the puzzle pieces together. It was like they. They were together and then it was. It just like the media of it all.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Went crazy and it was too much.

[Fran]

For her, which I think was like, you know, it's great for Kyle to explore what she wanted to explore and needed to explore. Same with Mauricio. And then they find. If they find their way back to each other, then that's great too.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I'm rooting for it hardcore.

[Fran]

That would be great. It'd be great for TV too.

[Ria]

It would.

[Fran]

Oh, come on. And another reunion that everyone was rooting for that happened over Christmas, which happened before Christmas, but they, you know, combined for the holidays. Agorga Judais Christmas, Christmas Eve. We got tiktoks, we got pictures, we got videos.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

It was everything we could have wanted. We got Teresa eating sprinkle cookies. Like things were happening that needed to happen that healed our hearts and hearts across America. Everywhere. If you were feeling sick, this cured your sickness. If you were feeling down, this brought you happiness. It really was what you were fighting.

[Ria]

With a family member. You thought, there is hope.

[Fran]

There is. Exactly. You said, well, I can just call them up and give them a sprinkle cookie and things will be all right.

[Ria]

If these families can work it out. What can't we do? What can't we do? Now, of course, the. What's the word I'm looking for, the legitimacy of this was called into question a tad because we know that the status of Real Housewives of New Jersey, it's kind of been all over the place. Are they filming? Are they not? Are they recasting? Are they not? Is Theresa part of it? Is she not. Is Melissa. Who are they keeping? Who are they not? And a lot of folks thought, you know, well, boy, do they both want to stay on this show now, do I think there's a little bit of that element, perhaps. But it comes down to the fact that these two are brother and sister, and they are. They're all they have. And I know they say it all the time, but they are all they have. So maybe it is time to just fucking bury it. And I saw Margaret talking about it where she's like, I think Melissa's like, you know, she loves her husband. It's just like, this is gonna make him happy. You gotta do it. And I think that's totally fair. It's just like. Like, reconnect. You guys can do it. Work it out. Your family. Everybody's like, oh, my God. Where are the cameras? Where are the cameras? Honestly, I think Andy and Bravo had, like, enough. I think they were like, look, if you want guys want to reconnect, we're not. We're not doing it on camera because it needs to be real. And if you want to come back to the show, like, let's see how long this actually lasts, and then maybe it can work out for the show. But you guys need to figure it out. Not on tv, because it's. It's been a disaster every single time it's been on tv, which I think was fair. I felt like Andy kind of said that in so many words, too. At Bravo Con, it's like when they were starting to take pictures and stuff is like, let's. Let's let this actually happen and work out. And I hope it does, because you know what made me really happy? Seeing all the cousins together. Because they deserve to have their cousins.

[Fran]

I agree with that. I think that's what made me most Happy is like. Like, if you, like, they're not talking to their cousins because their parents are fighting. Like, that can be really messy. And I feel like that was really nice to see that. And then on top of that, I want to know how long they're gonna have to keep up this act of all getting along before. Right. They do allow the cameras to pick back up maybe summer.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You guys got to keep this going through all the holidays. We got to see you on Easter.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

We better see you guys on Easter Sunday for you to pick back up these cameras in the summer.

[Ria]

So true.

[Fran]

You know, I feel like they're gonna.

[Ria]

I feel like they're gonna do it, hopefully.

[Fran]

I think that they will stay reconnected, but there will be some fights.

[Ria]

Oh, no, I'm sure. I do not like Louie.

[Fran]

So. No, I don't. I still don't trust that man.

[Ria]

I do not.

[Fran]

But.

[Ria]

But if Theresa can bite into a sprinkle cookie, anything can happen. Come on. Anything can happen.

[Fran]

Anything could happen.

[Ria]

Seriously? Yeah, seriously.

[Fran]

No, that. That brought a huge smile on my face.

[Ria]

I watched her eat that cookie. I said, she's doing it.

[Fran]

She's doing it. She probably fucking hated the second of it.

[Ria]

God, she probably. This is probably her fist.

[Fran]

Yeah, she's probably like, you motherfucker, I'm fucking eating this. Now.

[Ria]

Granted, there, like I said, no, short of, they. The content was flowing, so it's like, okay. Could they have reunited and not posted 9 million videos from Christmas?

[Fran]

Sure.

[Ria]

But it's.

[Fran]

It's. It's.

[Ria]

I think they were all very happy to be there. And obviously it's another level for them. I'm sure of seeing the joy it brings to other people.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

Has got to come into play. Like, they're like, oh, they must be like, look at all the comments. Everybody's so happy. You know, it's like. They're like, right. Do it for the people.

[Fran]

Exactly. They did it for us.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

They did it for us. Yeah. Yeah. All right, that wraps up today's topics, but we gotta get into the weekly watch part where we have one big topic. Heated rivalry. Don't you worry.

Weekly watch report on Monday. Listen, we got some things that we watch, but there's only one important thing on this list, and that is heated rivalry. All six episodes, done. I'm still at the cottage. I haven't left. And I won't leave Gorgeous for a long time. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. I will be stuck here for quite some time.

[Ria]

I know.

[Fran]

I did not want this to end.

[Ria]

Same. I was so sad when I realized it was only six episodes.

[Fran]

So sad. And I had caught up right after we ended break.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So I. I was like, oh, okay, I gotta catch up. And when I realized that I only had one when I watched episode five and I thought I had another episode queued up and I didn't because I had to wait for the finale, I, I. Yeah, I was devastated.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah. I thought, what?

[Ria]

Or you had to wait for the day after.

[Fran]

I have to wait for. And. And there's only six app.

[Ria]

Yeah. To wait for that. Friday.

[Fran]

Six episodes.

[Ria]

I know.

[Fran]

And I've watched them all. I know. And we talked about this before. I was caught up that the third episode introduced Scott and Kip. I fucking loved that episode.

[Ria]

Great episode.

[Fran]

I loved it so much. And that's what got me even more into the show. Then all of a sudden, they're taken away from me again. And I'm like, what the fuck happened? Now I'm stuck on Shane and Ilya and Scott and Kip. I know. And now you're gonna take Scott and Kip away from me, but then you're gonna throw in a Storyline with Rose Landry. Right. And literally the show just kept getting better and better and there's so much to discuss. There really is. Between the actors in real life. Hudson Williams Connor's story.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And their characters. Yeah. There's so much to dive into. But also we have to deal with the fact that we need to wait until 2027 for more of their story. Now you could read the books.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

But I almost don't want to spoil it for myself and I don't want to have an expectation because I have seen a lot of conversation about. About the books and some are saying, you know, that the TV show was so much better than the books. Actually.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I'm also a little confused of the format of the books. I'm not gonna lie. And I, I haven't really looked into it too much and I could probably just ask my sister who's been reading them, but like their. All about different couples.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Noah]

So.

[Ria]

What more of Shane and Ilya's story is happening in the books?

[Fran]

There is more. There is a lot more that's not.

[Ria]

In the show because it's just one book that's about them.

[Fran]

There is a lot more that happens.

[Ria]

In other books now that I don't.

[Fran]

Know if it's other books, but now that they. People will find out about them and then a lot happens. I saw a little bit. I saw a little bit of spoiler, but I don't want to spoil for people if they haven't seen.

[Ria]

No, I know. And, and you shouldn't because that's like I, I really was like, oh, so, so. But then there's other books. So then could there be other characters that come into play in the show since there's all different characters in. Because it's like Scott's. Scott and Kip have their own book.

[Fran]

Yes. So it was intertwined into here into heated rivalry. But they're named different things. But he. To Rivalry, I think was the most popular book. Right. Which is why it was made into the show. Now there was a lot of discussion about the popularity of the show, why it got so popular. I know Hudson Williams, who plays Shane, he had commented on. On Dumoise posts just being like, I'm sorry, not. I'm sorry not to like you. Because number one, I think they were diving into his personal life a little bit and figuring out who he's dating and da, da, da. And I think they're. They're both trying to keep that part of their lives pretty private. And Dumois, obviously, you know, there's another book. Yeah. Dumois gets, you know, likes to dive into personal lives.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And start doing that with these actors, and I don't think you like that. And then also, Dumois got into it with the heated rivalry fans because they were. Dumas was posting that, like, the reason people love this show is for, like, the sex aspect, basically, which personally is not why I love the show. I really love the storylines, the dialogue, the conversations that are happening about the show. In the show, of course, you know, they even got this tattooed. Sex sells. Of course sex sells.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And that, you know, the chemistry between the two of them is a big draw of the show. But watching it, I was yearning for a lot more conversation, which did end.

[Ria]

Up in love with the characters, with.

[Fran]

The characters, which does end up happening more throughout the show. You get so much more conversation between all them. I think the first episodes was very sex heavy, and it's still very sex heavy, but in, like, a different way. More intimate, you know, more romantic at times. Yeah. So I didn't necessarily agree with that standpoint that people. People are only watching for the sex. Like, I really don't agree with that. Yeah. I think that there's so much more conversation to be had about the show than. Than just so he didn't. I think people were really upset with Dumois about that, and the actors as well, were getting upset. And then you had the guy from I Love la. We talked about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they were at some. The of event together, and HBO was kind of seemed like kind of forcing that a little bit. Little makeup sesh happened there. But I thought the finale, great episode was so good. And it was, like, quiet, and it was intimate, it was romantic. And we got to see the two of them explore their connection and their relationship in a much deeper way and kind of give us a little insight to what's to come now in the next season. And the whole conversation with Shane's parents and them finding out and how his mom just, like, kind of just like apologized, you know, immediately. Like that scene between the two of them. And people are kind of dissecting now a little bit more about Hudson's character because they believe him to be autistic. And the author, I think, has said that he is, but it's not stated in the books or the show. You know, it's not, like, talked about, but, like, he is, I think the author said.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And so people were, like, dissecting, you know, how good his acting was in these moments in portraying that. Because There were, you know, conversation of, oh, he's not that good of an actor as Connor story because Ilya's doing the, you know, he's doing the Russian accent. But everyone was like, no, he's a fantastic actor because he's picking up on all these mannerisms and the way he's acting is he's actually doing a fantastic job. He's the reason he's looking down and not making direct eye contact is all part of the character. Yeah. So I thought that especially in that conversation with him and his mom, because you could tell it's so hard for him to, like, make direct eye contact and have these conversations. Was a really powerful scene. Really beautiful. And on top of that, the fact that Connor's story is not Russian in real life will just have anybody stumped.

[Ria]

Yeah. Really.

[Fran]

With his for sure accent and being so superb. Like, it is just incredible.

[Ria]

He's so good at it that I'm. I am afraid he may resent it because, like, I. Everybody just wants to do the accent.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Like, every interview, every video I see of them now because, like, they've also taken over my YouTube where it's just like interviews of. Of them doing press and such, where it's just like, they. They're like, do the voice. Like, it's like, say this in your accent. He's like, that guy's like, come on. Like, it's just. It's probably a lot, but he's just so good at it.

[Fran]

He is. And you know what?

[Ria]

So believable. It's so good.

[Fran]

Hudson Williams is really good at it too. He was doing a Russian accent, and I'm like, they both have incredible Russian accents.

[Ria]

The monologue he does in Russian on the phone in five. Spectacular.

[Fran]

So good.

[Ria]

Spectacular. So good. I've seen so many tiktoks of people being, like, making my. Making my Russian dad watch this scene to see, like, how the Russian is. And like, these, like, old dads are like, oh, this is very good.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

So I don't know, they just. They just absolutely. They just absolutely crushed it. I thought it was so well done. Rarely do I sit and watch, like, the end credits of a show, but I sat there and thought, oh, my God, Gia bought a pair of Ray Bans on when we were in Florida. She was influenced by their Wayfarers.

[Fran]

I've never. Well, not. I've never. But I have not been into a show like this in a long time. Like this. Attached to the characters, thinking about them 24 7. Doing a deep dive into every aspect of the show, how it's filmed, the books after it's finished. Cause you don't wanna let go of it.

[Ria]

I'm sad that I think they saw that it can't really be nominated.

[Fran]

Yeah. Cause it's Canadian.

[Ria]

Because it's Canadian.

[Fran]

Yeah. They deserve every award. I. The only thing was that I really was yearning for more of Scott and Kip's story. Listen, Scott, he pissed me off a little bit because I felt. And although, you know, very complicated feelings that he was going through, so extremely fair. But when they were looking for the art at the art gallery, and. And. And I'm like, you know, I just feel like Kip didn't deserve it. And. But it's. But also, at the same time, it's complicated and you understand what someone's going through. And so it's all these different emotions and feelings about it. But you also feel for Kip because you're like, he deserves to be loved out loud and. And publicly. But then we.

[Ria]

His speech was so good.

[Fran]

But then we do get that. Yeah. And then coming back into the final episode with Scott's speech. Yeah. Was. I loved the speech. It was so good. But then that was. Then we didn't get any more.

[Ria]

I know. It was trickling in, like, another storyline into something so dominated by.

[Fran]

By Shane.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I'm like, wait, but I want more. More Scott and kids, too. I know.

[Ria]

I wanted both of them. I'm sure. I'm sure that'll expand more.

[Fran]

I hope so. Because I really enjoyed their story, and.

[Ria]

I feel like people love them, and I feel like there's more they could do with that on the. In the TV show. They also did a really good job of taking a story that expands over so many years and putting it in a show that's six episodes. Because if you really think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Like, they just. The actors. The actors portrayed it so well in the sort of, like, distance of just hooking up when they saw each other. And, like, you'd watch one episode, all of a sudden you're like, wait, I'm sorry. Five years passed. Like, what's. Like, it went. Quit really quickly to the point where, like, then you get at the end, and it makes so much sense that they're at where they are because so much time has passed. But it's like they've pushed through all that time where they were only seeing each other, like, a few times a year, clearly. And things have. Things have changed. But that's. Trying to, like, tell that story. I Think in six episodes when there's so many time jumps, it's also really hard. And I feel like they did a good job with that too.

[Fran]

Definitely the. I also loved the Rose Landry storyline. I thought that was really great. Especially the club scene, all the things she said. Great use of that song. I also would have loved if they used Untouched by the Veronicas. That would have been a great one to throw in there as well. Kind of like in that genre. But that club scene was so powerful. Chills. And it sticks with you because when that episode ends and you're like, I fucking need to know what happens now. And I loved Rose's reaction to Shane. And she was like. Like 80% of my boyfriends have been gay. Like, because she's, you know, famous actress. I thought that whole scene was. And it was the first time you see Shane open up to somebody other than Ilya. Or the scene where, you know, Ilya uses Shane for the first time instead of Hollander and you. And you see Shane, like, you know, he's like, I gotta get out of here, you know, because now it's becoming very real, him knowing his drinks and his tuna melt, the ginger ale, the tuna melt. They're going at it after a good tuna melt. They don't care. They don't care how stinky tuna is. They just love each other and they're so connected. But it was really such a good show, a beautiful story. I cannot wait until 2027. It's gonna be a long time.

[Ria]

But when he said boyfriend, when they were sitting at the table, pasta. He's got great comedic timing too. He really does.

[Fran]

He was so fucking funny in that last episode. He was like, oh, you enjoy fucking Roselyn? I was like, this is amazing.

[Ria]

When, when, like, when he like hit him to like stop eating the pasta. And he was like, right, well, because.

[Fran]

Think about it, like Ilya's. When's the last time Ilya's had a home cooked meal with family?

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

You know, and he's in that moment, in Ilya's mind, he's like, what can be better? Right now I'm having a home cooked meal, I'm with my boyfriend. Things are great.

[Ria]

There were so many good friends.

[Fran]

And in Shane's mind, this is a nightmare for him. His parents are finding out now he has a boyfriend. And it's all coming, you know, Feels like his world's crashing down, but it's really.

[Ria]

I know, it's really open. He was like, do you want me to come with you? And he Was like, oh, yeah, we're lovers.

[Fran]

It was hilarious. I mean, his mom went into Chris Jenner mode asap. She's like, I gotta call Reebok. Rolex. Yeah, yeah, they're gonna love this when they start to understand it. I was like, she's working. Yeah, she's working the phones. Uhhuh.

[Ria]

Exactly.

[Fran]

But it was so good. And I'm still thinking about it and wanting more. I give it an A, I think. A plus. Eternity. We both watched Eternity.

[Noah]

I did, too.

[Fran]

Coincidentally, the same night.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Weird. Very weird. Loved it.

[Ria]

Loved it.

[Fran]

Really loved it. I was rooting for Larry Miles Teller's character the entire time.

[Ria]

All the flips.

[Fran]

Callum Turner, you know, is charming and da, da, da and cute and the whole thing. For some reason, I wasn't bought in on him so much because people were hyping him up so much. You know, they were. They were really selling him.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I just was rooting for Larry the whole time.

[Noah]

They had. They had kids together. They had a whole life.

[Fran]

Yeah. And, like, I don't know, I just found myself, like, never rooting. Never rooting for Luke and rooting for Larry the whole time.

[Ria]

I don't know if I was just, like, convinced by the movie, but at the beginning, like, I definitely felt like, oh, that is kind of so fair. Like, she. You know, their life got cut so short together. Now she has this second chance to, like, whatever. Her first true love. Like, maybe there's something there and then that, you know, that obviously dwindled for sure. And I mean, there were so many sweet moments. But. But when. When he. When Larry was like her, you know, because when he makes the realization of, like, oh, you're.

[Fran]

When you're.

[Ria]

You're at your happy happiest. At the time, hair was longer.

[Fran]

It wasn't.

[Ria]

When he was. When they were together, I was like, Larry. But it's just that classic. Like, yes, those were extremely happy moments for her then. But. But she chose Larry, you know, like, for life at that point, for them to be together. And they were so good. And you know what I said afterwards? They could have made Miles Teller a little cuter.

[Fran]

Oh, I thought he looked perfect.

[Ria]

I felt like they tried to make him, like, not as cute as he is on purpose. I feel like they really tried to be like, oh, Callum Turner, so hot. Like, blah, blah, blah. And then, like, they tried to make Miles Teller, like, not be, like, as handsome. I'm like, he's so handsome.

[Fran]

Yeah. I don't know. I didn't really feel that, but I Get what you mean.

[Ria]

They were trying, you know, like, it was like. It was like, oh, my God, could you ever possibly pick anybody but him? He's so handsome.

[Fran]

Right? And then. And then in one scene, Callum Turner's like, you're a handsome guy yourself.

[Ria]

Yeah, he is.

[Fran]

Because he is.

[Ria]

But he didn't get enough credit.

[Fran]

No, they were really happy.

[Ria]

Like, it's like they. They gave him that haircut. Like, they tried to, like, do things that made him.

[Fran]

Right. They were trying to make him.

[Ria]

That wasn't. That wasn't rooster.

[Fran]

No, no, no, that wasn't Rooster. No.

[Ria]

And he has the potential to be rooster all the time.

[Fran]

Exactly. No, I. I thought it was really cute.

[Ria]

It was.

[Fran]

I was engaged the whole time.

[Noah]

There were some rules that, like, I know it's all fantasy and whatever, but, like, that. I. I was like, annoyed. I'm like, why? Why can't you pick one place and then come back?

[Fran]

Like, you're picking your eternity.

[Noah]

Like, they're obviously. It's all fake, so.

[Ria]

Yes, yes, but no. And it was. There was so many, like, funny, like, like sneaky funny parts to it too. Like, all the worlds were so funny.

[Fran]

So funny seeing, like, and.

[Ria]

And you had to like, really be paying attention to catch all of it and the signage and everything. Like, I would tell me why I literally fell over laughing when it was like, space world, finally see Uranus. Like, this is so dumb.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But very funny. And Divine Joy Randolph, I think is hysterical. I love her. So, so good in this.

[Fran]

So good.

[Ria]

Her and I. I'm not. I'm not sure what the other actor, the other guy working in attorney, but they were both really, really good.

[Fran]

So many laugh out loud moments with her. So funny that I loved it. I thought it was really sweet. A really good movie. It was one of those movies that I actually was really hesitant to watch because, you know, I was so excited about it. I. I just get really, like, you know, you know, weird about that.

[Noah]

Like, existential.

[Ria]

Oh, no, more about like, what, like death.

[Fran]

Yeah. Like, I just, you know, you know, it's not my favorite convo, for sure.

[Ria]

And it's like, you know, the movie opens and they're old and you're like, oh, so they. They got to die, right?

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. You know, it's not my favorite topic of conversation.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah. So wasn't I feel such a sweet that to that?

[Fran]

Exactly. It was. And that's why I loved it. I will give that an A. Cuz I really did enjoy it. Like, you know, I can't. I Can't skate around it. Bonia, you did great. Heated rivalry. A. Yeah. What a film.

[Noah]

I really liked it.

[Fran]

I really liked it too. Very, very good. I'm shocked Jesse Plemons hasn't been in the conversation of award nominations because he was fantastic.

[Noah]

Yeah. I thought.

[Fran]

And I think so. More so.

[Noah]

But then last night, like he wasn't nominated. He was even nominated.

[Fran]

But more so than Emma Stone? Like Emma Stone.

[Noah]

I thought they were both.

[Fran]

Emma Stone was really good.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But I think Jesse Plemons character was probably a bit harder.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, like, I don't know. I mean, I just think he did such a great job.

[Noah]

I've seen his other movies, by the way. I don't know if you have like the kinds of kindness.

[Fran]

Yeah, no, I haven't.

[Ria]

I really haven't seen a lot of. And what was the other one? Christian Dud's Year of the Dog.

[Fran]

They did poor things in the poor.

[Noah]

I never watched poor things. Yeah.

[Ria]

Oh, I did see poor things.

[Fran]

Stavy, Jump, scare.

[Noah]

Yeah. Yeah. And that whole character was.

[Fran]

Oh, weird character. Are you gonna watch it? Can I talk about it?

[Ria]

I'll probably watch it.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Because I know it's gonna get nominated for stuff.

[Fran]

I want to just say something. I can't if you're gonna watch it.

[Noah]

It was really cool how they like they kept making you change your mind.

[Fran]

Oh, the whole time. I will say this. The entire time.

[Ria]

You could probably. I don't even know what the premise of the movie.

[Fran]

If I say it out loud.

[Noah]

If you're gonna watch. You don't want.

[Fran]

You don't want to know. Cuz you're. But I will say the entire time I went back and forth and then at one point I was totally leaned the other way that I was like, oh yeah.

[Noah]

All the way up until the very end.

[Fran]

Until the very end. And I will say this, the very, very end felt like we could have done without.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I felt like it could have ended with us being told what the answer is. Right. If you're following us being told what the answer is. And then that's it. I didn't need the whole rest of it.

[Noah]

I. I did look this up afterwards. And this is a remake of a Korean film. Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

Which is a much more comedic film actually. They. People say it's actually supposed to be.

[Noah]

A lot, which makes sense because this director is like kind of like, yeah.

[Fran]

Your ghost is very artsy fartsy. Because the ending definitely had more of a comedic tone than the rest of the movie. All of a Sudden it was like a different movie.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So I felt like it could have ended in the way where we get the reveal and then it's like, boom, done. I'll talk about that. I'm like, in my opinion, it was very hit or miss for a lot of people, that last part, but I will give Begonia an A minus because of that last bit.

[Noah]

That's what. I have it too.

[Fran]

We didn't grade Marty supreme or Song Sung Blue, did we?

[Noah]

No, we didn't.

[Fran]

We didn't. Because.

[Ria]

Right, right, right.

[Fran]

I will give both of those an A. Yeah. I loved them both. Both very different movies.

[Noah]

I went back to. I rewatched Marty Supreme.

[Ria]

Oh, did you?

[Fran]

Went to the theater?

[Noah]

Yeah. I really liked it. And then I rewatched Uncut Gems because I was just kind of in that mode. And I actually think that I like Uncut Gems more.

[Fran]

Really?

[Noah]

I do. Yeah.

[Fran]

Interesting.

[Noah]

I really. I mean, Marty supreme is great.

[Fran]

Yeah. I'll give those both an A. I love LA Wrapped up got a whole lot better towards the end.

[Noah]

I watched that whole show, by the way.

[Fran]

You watched the whole thing. It got so much better towards the end. It, like, found meaning. It found. It found purpose. It found a storyline. It felt like in the beginning, it felt like every episode had a new storyline, whereas towards the last couple episodes, it felt like it was following a couple storylines. But, like, yeah, you want to know what happens? And now I feel like it built up. It got renewed for a second season, and now I feel like it's built up for a second season. That was good. I'll give it a B plus because I actually ended up enjoying it a lot. The Taylor Swift documentary finished. I will give that an A minus. I feel like it got even better. Yeah. In my opinion, now that I'm playing, I'm like, I watched it so long ago now.

[Ria]

I know it does feel like it's been I.

[Fran]

So I'm kind of, like, forgetting what I watch.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But I definitely did end up really liking it. And it's just interesting to see the behind the scenes and her working through, like, you know, kind of timely with everyone being sick. She's coughing, she's sick, she's got to work through. She's got the stomach flu. She's got a flu, Whatever. And her singing the mashup of the songs to her family was just. Just a tear jerker. I mean, that was something special. So I'll give that an A minus. I put on and I couldn't get through it, but I know a lot of people are talking about it. And it is something that we would usually very, very much like. But I don't. Just don't think I was in the mood. The Palm Beach Members only on Netflix.

[Ria]

I saw people talking about this, that it's not very actually Palm Beach.

[Fran]

Yeah. And I think that they might as.

[Ria]

Well just made a show about West Palm.

[Fran]

Yeah. And they're so fucking ridiculous, these people. I actually saw.

[Ria]

I haven't watched a single clip, but I've seen pictures of them and just. They're ridiculous.

[Fran]

I thought, oh, no. And I saw Heather McMahon make a story about this and she was like, listen, these ladies are so not my type of people. Yeah. But my God, I can't look like, I can't look away. Can't look away. And so I threw it on and I just. I didn't get like, hooked immediately. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, I was on my phone and stuff, so I'm not even gonna grade that. I just want to mention that I did go to watch it and I wasn't really hooked. And then I watched the Wedding Ringer, that Kevin Hart movie. Josh Gad. Yeah. Randomly.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

I'll go to sleep less. Yeah. You know, kind of funny.

[Ria]

I think I saw that, like, at some point.

[Fran]

Kind of bad, kind of good. Right? You know what I mean? Kind of funny.

[Ria]

Like. Kind of like it's just like a silly, silly movie that you're laughing at, but you're like, that was kind of silly.

[Fran]

We just were throwing on a silly, silly movie. Yeah. And that is everything I watch, I think. I mean, I'm sure I'm missing something, but for the importance factor, that's what I have. Yeah.

[Ria]

It's an A. It's an A plus episode. Six is an A plus. I don't know if we like, like, four and five to me. A's. Oh, six A plus.

[Fran]

Oh, I think three, four, five, six. A plus to me.

[Ria]

Six A plus. I. You know, we could just. Only because six I felt I loved. Like, even, like, it deserves a bump. Like, they are all A pluses. But then, like, it's like, then six, then Y6A plus, plus, like, it's like, it's up there. Eternity I will Give Attorney was an A minus. Really loved it. I thought it was very, very sweet. I enjoyed it and I thought they were great. Had to teach my mom about Callum Turner. She didn't know about him. The whole deep dive, I'm like, he's engaged to do a lipo. She's like, what else has he been in?

[Noah]

I think that might be the first thing I've ever seen him.

[Fran]

Man.

[Ria]

You watched Masters of the Air. You didn't.

[Noah]

So I don't really count that.

[Fran]

Yeah, I've never seen him in anything either. But I want to change my eternity to an A minus as well, because if I have begonia at A minus, I can't put eternity at it.

[Ria]

Right, right, right.

[Fran]

So I would, like. I got to put this on.

[Ria]

I. We watched Gone Girl, which I hadn't seen in a while. Really threw Joe for a loop. He was like, what? What? You know, like, that movie ends and you're just like, wait, what?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Did she win the Oscar for that Roseman Pike? She might have.

[Ria]

She might have. She's so good in that. But just like watching someone else watch that movie for the first time was actually very fun. Like, at certain points, he was like. Like, he was like Neil Patrick Harris. He was like Emily Ratajkowski.

[Fran]

Being in that is really just forgotten.

[Ria]

And as soon as she came onto the screen, too, he was like, oh, my God. I was like, just wait.

[Noah]

She got nominated, but she was lost.

[Ria]

I mean, Gone Girl, that. It is a great movie. It's certainly a rewatch for me. It's like a gone girl's probably an A minus too. It's a good movie. I finished the Taylor Swift documentary as well. That was an A. Loved it. Really enjoyed that. Same, same points. It's just like anything that's the behind. Behind the scenes of something that's so massive like that or anything like behind the scenes for Taylor.

[Fran]

I'm sold. I'm gonna change my grade to B plus, because if I'm putting. Now I'm just, like, going down with. I'm doing math.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

If I'm putting Begonia and Eternity at A minus.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I enjoyed those more than the Taylor Swift documentary. So I have to put the Taylor Swift documentary a B plus, because I can't have them on the same, you know, that's fair.

[Ria]

I finished the new season of Emily in Paris.

[Fran]

Oh, how was it?

[Ria]

Cute. You know, Emily, she's getting into. She's getting into antics. She's running around. They're running around Italy now she's got her cute Italian boyfriend. It's, you know, they're trying to get Italian brands. I always find myself, like, more intrigued by Sylvie's storylines. And, my God, did they continue to get that woman into crazy situations? I. I suppose this is a spoiler, but I like. Sylvie's her boss. Sylvie reunites with a old friend that they had been, you know, friends when they were. They were younger, perhaps lovers. Not quite sure. That was a little hazy. But she also slept with her, the woman's husband, before they got married. And then, like, they never. They didn't speak. It was a whole big thing and whatever. Then they reunite, and now they're like, oh, being friends again, blah, blah, blah. She's the friend is trying to set up Sylvie with some of her friends. They're having dinner parties. She meets a young handsome guy across the street. They start hooking up there. She's like, all in on this, like, you know, hot young guy sex that they're having and the whole thing. She goes to another dinner party, hot young guy, her friend's son.

[Fran]

Oh, classic twist.

[Ria]

Tough, Tough, tough, Tough. Yeah, tough.

[Fran]

That is very tough.

[Ria]

And, yeah, everybody else, it's like, I don't know, they kind of gave a little funky storyline where it's like, oh, her, you know, her friend, her ex there hooking up. And that was a whole. That was a whole thing. And I was kind of rooting for them because then the ex comes back in. There's just a lot. There's always like, Ex lovers that come back into play. And you're like, ah, what's his face? Brian Greenberg is in it for like one episode, and he plays a character that's named Jake, which really threw me off. I'm like, jake?

[Fran]

Yeah. They did that on purpose.

[Ria]

You know, there's. He's Jake. There's one Jake for him.

[Fran]

And.

[Ria]

But it was cute. I mean, it's like a. It's like a B minus. Like, I. I enjoy it. I put it on. I enjoy every season I watch. And you. And you fly right through it, I'll be honest. And I. Joe and I definitely will watch this week.

[Fran]

We just.

[Ria]

At no point after Christmas was I, like, in the head space to watch Stranger Things. I just like, I was relaxing, sitting in the sun. And it's also not a show you can watch in the daytime, in my opinion. At least I'm sure plenty of people do. But it's just such like a nighttime show. Cause it's so dark. Yeah, you need the outside to be dark.

[Fran]

I agree with that.

[Ria]

And. And I'm not gonna lie, the discourse got to me, like, after 5, 6, 7 came out and everyone was like, that sucked. I was like, oh, that's not really making me want to watch it. So I kept putting it off. And then I saw some people come around for the finale that they were like, oh, the finale, you know, it was good. So I will definitely watch it. I just haven't yet. And I know I'm behind somehow. Really haven't seen too many spoilers besides the obvious one that's gone viral on.

[Fran]

The Internet of Will.

[Ria]

And I feel like that's been used a million times.

[Fran]

And.

[Ria]

Honestly, that's it. One night we watched the new episode of Hard Knocks. When I'm with my family, we're watching that. I enjoy Hard Knocks. It's a B, not gonna lie. Doing the NFC east this season, pretty boring for the end season because it's like they just did the Christmas episode, but it's like, no. No team has anything to play for. Like, besides the Eagles in the playoffs, all the other teams aren't. So it was like, like, ah, Merry Christmas, everybody. Like, looking forward to next year.

[Noah]

It's so unfortunate the Patriots are playing during the Golden Globes next week. I was like. I was like, please don't be on Sunday night. And of course it is.

[Ria]

I didn't even think about that. I saw that. That is tough.

[Noah]

Just have two TVs going.

[Ria]

That is tough. Oh, God, it's not the Eagles. They got the game they got the game.

[Noah]

Early game.

[Ria]

They got the 4:30.

[Noah]

Yeah. And.

[Ria]

Yeah, that's kind of it. There's just like, you know, there's a lot of football on during this break. There's bowl games, there's college basket. Like, we just. I mean, you're in the house. You just got, like, sports. You throw sports on. I didn't really watch anything else, to be honest. That was it. I am caught up on. I am caught up on Salt Lake City. I'm behind on Beverly Hills, but I'm caught up on Salt Lake City. And I think the finale is maybe this week or next week. It's getting close to it. Salt Lake City is a B plus. Always good. Always good. Now, they're all worried about Meredith on this trip, but I don't. So sometimes I feel like they're ganging up on Meredith for no reason.

[Fran]

I don't.

[Ria]

But that's it.

[Noah]

Okay. I have a ton, but I'm gonna fly through.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Noah]

At least the ones that, like, no one knows what they are or whatever. Pluribus season ended. I actually like the beginning of the season way more. Like, this is a common theme, I guess, but, like. Like, I don't know. I. It kind of lost me toward the end. And then from what I'm hearing, like, there's no. There is going to be a season two, he says, but there's no, like, time for that. So I feel like it's going to be years until, like, the next one. I'll give it a B plus. I rewatched Almost Famous Post. Kate Hudson, Everything A always is. This is Spinal Tap. I watched for the first time. Rob Reiner, very funny. Like, I can't believe I'd never seen it, but just really funny. Have you guys seen it?

[Fran]

No. No. But I kept seeing it pop up.

[Noah]

Yeah. I didn't realize that that kind of created that whole genre of movie, like, the mockumentary type. I'll give that an A minus. This movie called the sure Thing. Another Rob Reiner. I was kind of in a Rob Reiner. Like, this is with John Cusack, 1985. Like, it's not even on streaming services, so I had to watch it on YouTube. But it was fine. It was good. It was, like, kind of similar to When Harry Met Sally. Like, vibe. I'll give that a B. I watched Running Man, Glenn Powell. Oh, terrible. Oh, really, really bad.

[Fran]

Dang. Dang.

[Noah]

And I don't think I expected it to be good, but it was actually worse than I thought it would be.

[Fran]

You know, haven't seen much conversation about it. That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

Really? It came out and that was it.

[Noah]

Yeah. That gets D. That was just all. I mean, like, it's still action, so it's like you're still like kind of locked in a little bit, but like, it was just so bad and so corny. Begonia. I'll give an A minus. That was actually, like, surprising to me. I didn't really know anything going into it, but I thought all the acting performances were really good. And it really did. Like, it was one of those movies where I was just like thinking for the rest of the night, like, that was crazy. I rewatched one battle after another. That's an A. I think that or Sinners is my favorite movie of the year.

[Fran]

Big win for them. One battle after another. One Best movie, Best director.

[Noah]

Going to, like, end up sweeping, like, a lot of stuff.

[Fran]

Yeah. It was kind of funny to see Leo standing up there, but like, as a kind of a behind role. You know what I mean?

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I actually looked it up. None of his movies have ever won Best Picture.

[Noah]

The. I thought the department maybe that Martin Scorsese won Director.

[Fran]

Yeah. But like Titanic didn't win. I looked it up and it said.

[Noah]

That Leo has never won for movie.

[Fran]

That Leo has never won Best Picture.

[Ria]

Best Picture.

[Fran]

No.

[Noah]

It was funny that Paul Thomas Anderson was like, does anyone want to say anything? And like, none of the actors.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Titanic won the Academy Award for best picture.

[Noah]

Did it?

[Fran]

1997. Oh, wait, yes. Leonardo DiCaprio has been in best picture. Nominated films like Titanic, the Departed, Wolf of Wall street, and Revenant. But as an actor, he's not personally won the Best Picture Oscar.

[Noah]

Are they saying he didn't win when it won?

[Fran]

Oh, one for but not by Titanic won Best Picture, but he was not a producer. Oh, okay. They're talking about him. Yeah.

[Ria]

I mean. Yeah.

[Fran]

Okay. Oh, also, no actor gets the Departed did win for best Picture.

[Ria]

It's just like he wasn't a producer on that movie. So he doesn't have the music.

[Fran]

They don't give him the physical. No, I'm not talking about that.

[Ria]

I'm just talking about the movies.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, sorry.

[Noah]

I watched Sentimental Value. I don't know if you've heard that's.

[Ria]

Yeah. With the scars guard. Right.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And El Fanning's in it.

[Noah]

And then I don't know her name off the top of my head, but she was. I mean, honestly, the two women in it are amazing. And I think, like, a lot of people think they might Win for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress. That was really good. Like, it's like a very. I wouldn't say slow, but it. It's kind of all takes place in, like, one house for the most part, so it's very much like, on the actors, but it was really good. It's like very family drama.

[Fran]

We were deciding between that and Begonia. When we were gonna watch a movie, we went with Begonia.

[Noah]

When we put it on, I was like, this is probably gonna be, like, a heavy, like, tough kind of watch, but it was really good. I wouldn't be surprised if that got a lot of awards, too. Stranger Things.

[Fran]

What's the grade?

[Noah]

What?

[Fran]

What's the grade for?

[Noah]

Oh, A minus. A minus.

[Fran]

Okay, so same as Bonia. All right.

[Noah]

Yeah. I say, like, extremely different.

[Fran]

Right.

[Noah]

But really, it's still in scars. Guard's really good. Stranger Things. I'll give that a D plus. And that, honestly, is generous, I think.

[Fran]

Like, wow.

[Noah]

Horrible.

[Fran]

Really?

[Noah]

It's just so bad. And it's not even bad in, like, a bad, good way. It's just like, this is so bad. Like, everyone's talking about, like, one scene, and it's just like. I don't know what they were thinking this season.

[Fran]

Wow.

[Ria]

And you watched the finale you thought was equally as bad?

[Noah]

I mean, the finale, like, the actual, like, action part. Like, yeah, I actually. Yeah, it was all bad. It was all bad.

[Fran]

Damn.

[Ria]

And then, like, speak your truth.

[Noah]

They tried to wrap it up, like, where I was shocked at, like, the big, like, fight. Whatever at the end happens. And then there's like 30 or 40 minutes after that where I'm like, how they really tried to wrap every single thing up of, like, here's everything that's gonna happen with all these people.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

It just all seems so forced. And then. Yeah. Like, it's hard to not see. Like, people point things out on the Internet and you're like, wow, that.

[Fran]

That.

[Noah]

I didn't even notice that. But that is so bad. Like, just from, like, a technical thing. But I don't know. I just.

[Ria]

I don't notice that shit.

[Fran]

I didn't see.

[Noah]

People were making fun of, like, it looked like Spy Kids and they're like, how is this $400 million?

[Fran]

I saw people crying their eyes out at Purple Rain. Like, I saw a complete.

[Noah]

I mean, that was cool that they used that song. Like, the music was good, but some of the acting is just, like. It's impossible to not acknowledge how bad it is.

[Fran]

I guess it is what we talked about, though. Like, when these Kids become so famous at a young age, and you can't really predict if they're gonna be good actors when they. My.

[Noah]

I hate to say, too, like, Millie. Bobby Brown, too. Like, I didn't think she was good. Like, I don't. A lot of people are saying, like, she just was checked out and she, like, didn't care about this anymore, but.

[Fran]

I saw that conversation.

[Noah]

The guy who plays Vecna is. He's good. I don't know.

[Ria]

Jamie Campbell Bowers is very good.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

But, yeah, I thought it was just so bad. Rewatch Swingers for, like, the thousandth time. That's always an A. Eternity. I'll give it a B minus. Like, I didn't love it as much as you guys did, but I thought it was, like, it was a cool take on, like, a rom com. Like, it's a unique idea. Marty Supreme. I'll give an A minus on Rewatch. Like, I think it's really good, but I think after watching Uncut Gems, I'm like, I just. Something about Uncut Gems, like, it's just tighter.

[Fran]

I rewatch Uncut Gems. I watched Uncut Gems at.

[Noah]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Ria]

Yeah, that was a hectic one.

[Noah]

I hate all the people trying to nitpick Marty supreme and stuff, but Uncut Gems, when it finished, I'm like, I feel satisfied with how that was wrapped up. Marty Supreme. There are some little things that, if I really think about it, I'm like, that doesn't really add up. His character is a scumbag the whole time. And then at the end, it's like, oh, look at. He's crying. But, like, I don't. You know, I don't know.

[Ria]

And I. Maybe it was a random take on my part, but I was talking about the ending with people this weekend too, and I just thought, like, I had interpreted the crying in a different way. Like, everyone was like, oh, it's, like, so happy. It's like he's like. And I was like. When he started crying, I interpreted him being like, my life's over. Like.

[Fran]

Like.

[Ria]

Like, that was like.

[Fran]

Like a mat.

[Ria]

Like a sad cry. Like, not like it. Not, like, it excited cry.

[Noah]

I. I originally took it as, like, he's just so, like, overwhelmed by, like, that's his baby. But if I think about it now, and if it's like, wow, I'm crying because, like, I didn't put any of this first until now. Like, none of this mattered in my life. Like, maybe, like, I kind of like that. That idea, but it was funny. That, like, she was in the hospital. Not. This isn't really, like, giving anything away, but, like, possibly gonna die. And he just, like, flew to Japan.

[Fran]

Like, yeah, he's. He's a scummy guy. He's a terrible person.

[Ria]

But you're, like, the whole point, you're.

[Fran]

Like, rooting for him. I was rooting for him, too. I think that's kind of what he mentions in his speech last night. He was like, thank. Like, thank you for making a character that is, like, not trying to, like, what he. What's the word he used? Like, I forgot exactly how he worded it. But, like, you're. You're not trying to push this good guy onto anybody, but, like, yeah, the.

[Noah]

Guy is a big dream. Honestly. Gwyneth Paltrow is, like, incredible. Like, the more. The second time I watched it, too, it's like. Like, she should do more movies.

[Fran]

She's. She's a great act busy.

[Noah]

But I watch. I love la. I watch all those episodes. I actually enjoyed it. Like, I think Josh Hutcherson's great.

[Fran]

He is.

[Noah]

He's underrated.

[Fran]

Do you agree it got better as the episodes went on?

[Noah]

Yeah. Yeah, I think so. It is funny. I saw a lot of people online joking that, like, this is more a New York show than it is an LA show. Like, just the people on the show give more, like New York than they give la. And then, like, like, the final episodes in New York. But they're just like, this whole show is like, I love. I mean, I guess that's the joke, is that they don't love LA because they're kind of, like, on it the whole time. But I thought. I thought it was really funny. Even the guy that was like, in. In the news, like, he's really good. Yeah, I'll give that a. I'll give that a B minus. Like, I watched a threesome. It's called the Threesome Zoe Deutsch. I think it's on Netflix now. I was actually surprised by that. I enjoyed that a lot. It was, like, heavier and more serious than I expected it to be. But it was good. I would recommend it. I'll give that a P minus as well. Ricky Gervais, new special. Give it a B minus. It was fine. He's one of my favorite comedians, but it wasn't like he had some funny Golden Globe stories, which was good. I watched this. The Mastermind, this movie. It came out this year. Josh o'. Connor. It's like a crime heist movie. It was. It actually got really good reviews and it was entertaining, but I didn't, like, love it. I'll give it a C. But it was still, like, I would say, like, it's a fun watch.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And he's really good. I watched Heat for the first time. Al Pacino, Robin. I've never watched it. And now they're doing the Heat 2.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

It's like an all star cast, so I'm kind of like ramping up.

[Ria]

Isn't There a Melissa McCarthy movie that's.

[Fran]

Also called Heat or the Heat or something like that?

[Ria]

Maybe the Heat. When he said he. That's the first movie that came to my mind.

[Noah]

Robert De Niro, Al Pacino.

[Ria]

I was like, oh, the Melissa McCarthy movie. Is that movie called Just Heat?

[Fran]

There's some.

[Ria]

You know what I'm talking about.

[Fran]

I do. That's the one I thought you were talking about too. The Heat.

[Ria]

The Heat, yeah. Okay.

[Fran]

That's yes. Yeah. With Sandra Bullock. Yes.

[Ria]

And Melissa McCarthy. Yep.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

So not that movie.

[Noah]

No, The Al Pacino, Rob De Niro movie, which I feel like is like blown up on, like, I'm always seeing edits of that on Tick Tock and stuff. I'll give it a B plus. Like, it was good. Very similar to the Town I felt when I was watching it, like that time type of dynamic between like the. The criminals and the cops. And I rewatch Uncut Gems. That's an A for me. I haven't watched it in so long. But Adam, like, it is actually crazy that, like, I hope Timothy wins this year, but to look back, I don't even know who won over or won the year that Uncle Champs came out. But like, Adam Sandler should have. He didn't even get nominated right for the Oscar. I don't think he did. People think he might get nominated this year for J. Kelly, which I don't think think necessarily, like, he should, but he should have definitely been.

[Ria]

I feel like he did.

[Noah]

No, I don't think he got nominated for the Oscar.

[Fran]

No, he was not nominated for Uncut.

[Noah]

Gems, which I thought is crazy. But he was so good in this. And it is cool. Just like all of Josh Safdie's movies, he just puts these random people in it.

[Ria]

Wow. The entire movie didn't get anything.

[Noah]

Yeah. Which is funny now. Like. Yeah, I don't know.

[Ria]

I don't know how that, like, in general, the whole movie, like, not as. Not a single Oscar nomination.

[Fran]

Oh, Parasite won that year.

[Noah]

Okay. That deserved to win.

[Fran]

That did. And then Joaquin Phoenix won best actor for Joker.

[Noah]

He won best actor for That. I don't remember that.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

For the first one.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So good.

[Noah]

But, yeah, great movie. And then the last thing I have is I watched Good Fortune. It's the Seth Rogen, Keanu Reeves, Aziz Ansari movie. Have you not heard of that?

[Fran]

No. No.

[Noah]

Oh, really? Keanu Reeves is like an angel. An angel or a saint or something. And he's, like, trying to save. Aziz Ansari's like, Aziz Ansari's basically, like, giving up on life and he's trying to. I actually liked it. I thought it was funny. I'll give it a B minus. Like, it was an easy, quick, fun watch. But, yeah, that's everything.

[Ria]

I don't think I gave Marty supreme or song Sun Blow a grade. So Marty supreme is an A song. Song Blue, B plus. Both very good. Both enjoyed both very different movies, obviously.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Way nominated for it. Or is she not looking Golden Globes.

[Ria]

She didn't get nominated for Golden Globe.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

She was so good.

[Fran]

She was really.

[Noah]

I want to watch that. Yeah.

[Fran]

I think I actually enjoyed the movie more for their acting.

[Ria]

Totally.

[Fran]

Than. You know what I mean?

[Ria]

I really like the music. I really like the music is what I'm saying.

[Fran]

Oh, I thought you said you don't that.

[Ria]

That sounded like I said I didn't really love it.

[Fran]

And then all of a sudden you call yourself.

[Ria]

I did really love the music. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was good. It was good.

[Fran]

Good.

[Ria]

So good.

[Fran]

Exactly. All right, that wraps up everything we watched. That wraps up today's episode of Chicks in the Office. Thank you so much for watching and listening. We love you guys so very much. Big smooches. Happy to be back and we will talk to you on Wednesday. Yeah, chicks in the Office.

[Noah]

Longtime listener, first time caller.

[Fran]

Look at the charts.

[Noah]

Who does it the best?

[Fran]

Two chicks getting paid in reality checks you can find them at the gym it's not even a flex Last minute.

[Noah]

Red carpet flew them out on the jet.

[Fran]

Yeah, they're who you want to be they're always on your screen Two queens.

[Noah]

And they might be spilling royalty A.

[Fran]

Lot of topics that are popping here to get into.

[Noah]

I know a show that you probably want to listen to.

[Fran]

Turn the heat up turn the beat up record the pod made a bag put their feet up the ones that leave no room crumbs when they clean.

[Ria]
