It's Chicks in the Office with Rhiann Fran giving you that free Friday energy on a Wednesday. Happy Wednesday, everybody. I have to say, I am going to actively try to stop blinking as much when I look in the camera and do that, because blinking, yes, I noticed myself doing it. And when I was a child actress in my day, I had an acting coach tell me I blink too much when I'm doing a scene.
Rhea
The problem is though, and now I'm blinking a lot. I was gonna say, the problem is when you consciously think, think about blinking, you blink so much more.
Fran
I can't stop now.
Rhea
Your eyes well up so much faster. Like it just all. Like when you're thinking about blinking, you're like, oh my God, I've never. I have to keep blinking, right?
Fran
I can't stop now.
Rhea
I can stop so much. Keep stopping now. When you don't think about it, it's a normal amount of blinking because it's just like your body's natural response is, you know, figure figures out how to blink. But when you're thinking about blinking, you're gonna blink a lot.
Fran
Exactly. And it was happening right There it was like, don't blink as much. Don't blink as much. Remember what that acting coach told you? Not blink as much. And I'm just blinking away.
Rhea
Oh, I. I've had. I have very sensitive eyes to begin with, I think. Like the. If it's a little bit windy, my eyes water. It is so windy in the city right now. I took five steps out of my apartment, tears streaming down my face, both sides. Normally, it's actually just my right eye. I get like one same one dainty. I get one beautiful tear that slowly falls alike.
Noah
I was walking to my building yesterday and I wiped it away because I don't want to think my. I don't want my doorman to think I was like, crying.
Rhea
No, I. I felt that way coming to the office. By the time I get into the office, people are gonna think I was crying my whole way here because I. It was both eyes, just like full tears. I was trying to dab it, but the wind has been. It's crazy.
Noah
You ever have it when the wind blows so hard that you can't breathe? You're like. You can't catch your breath.
Fran
Well, don't you have asthma?
Noah
Yeah, but I don't think that has anything to do with that. Slight asthma. Slight asthma.
Fran
That would probably have something to do with.
Noah
No, no.
Rhea
Rhea hit you with. Well, aren't you, like, always short of breath?
Noah
No. Like if the wind is blowing so hard that, like, you can't catch. Maybe it is asthma. I don't know.
Rhea
No, I. I actually do it. Know the feeling.
Noah
It happened to me this morning.
Rhea
I'm like. Yes.
Noah
I was like, I'm choking.
Rhea
I struggle. I struggle too. Like, if I have my scarf wrapped around my face and I'm trying to breathe out of my nose, but then I can't breathe. Like the wind, I'm. I got all congested and I try and breathe out of my mouth. It's a disaster. I watched a poor guy almost blow away on his electric scooter. He was riding his scooter down 7th Ave. And I could see him going, fuck, fuck. Because he had no hat on, no nothing. Completely exposed to the elements. And the wind was blowing. He was fighting the wind. The electric scooter was barely moving. He was trying to go and. And he was still moving in the direction he wanted, but at a much slower speed because the wind was coming right at him. Because now it's been crazy. I know my friends were. A lot of them were flying back from Florida this weekend on Monday and texting in our group chat, like, oh, my flights delay. My flights delayed. Like, what's going on? It looks like it's nice weather at home. I was like, guys, it is so windy. Yeah, so windy.
Fran
The forecast is calling for unbelievable winds. But I have to say, there's been happening.
Rhea
Look at what. I don't know what happened in Toron.
Noah
Toronto, but that video is crazy.
Fran
Insane. Insane.
Noah
I'm actually gonna start wearing my seat belts because did you see the people talking about how, like, they were hanging.
Rhea
Upside down Wear your seatbelts.
Noah
I never went on a plane. Like, I'm always. I've always been like, this plane is crashing. The seatbelt's gonna save me.
Fran
You don't wear.
Rhea
You don't wear your seatbelt during takeoff and landing. At least re.
Fran
Re. Do your seat belt at the end.
Noah
It's become. It's become like a pride thing with me where I hate that they, like, put your seat belt on. So I just. If I'll put.
Fran
Oh, you hate that. You hate that.
Rhea
They literally are doing their job.
Noah
I'll put my lap, but not connect it.
Rhea
Oh, so you're just. That's just.
Fran
That's just pure laziness.
Rhea
What a punk.
Fran
And just. Right.
Noah
I put my hoodie over it, so it's like, they can't.
Rhea
Oh, my God. An absolute punk.
Fran
Why are you hiding it that hard?
Rhea
Just cl. Together. I'd be going up to my friend and being like, there's. What a punk. In 32 key.
Noah
It's just the prince.
Rhea
You hit him. You hit him in one of the back. 32.
Fran
Hit him in one of the background.
Rhea
I go with 32e for that kind of behavior. And a middle seat. And a middle seat that was like.
Fran
The perfect unnecessary shade. You put him in a back row in the middle seat when you described it.
Rhea
Yeah. He thinks he's pulling a fast one on the flight attendant by hiding a seatbelt in his.
Noah
I'm not sure. It's just like, the principle of, like, well, if I don't want to put my seatbelt.
Rhea
Listening to what's gonna make you feel.
Fran
This is really just a silly conversation. You should really wear. Just wear your seatbelt.
Noah
No, no. Going forward now I'm like, all right, now I see how it can help. But up until that point is a.
Rhea
Plane overturning on their Runway for you.
Noah
Up until that. It's like if the planes crashing, the seatbelts not saving.
Rhea
Yeah, but there's so many things. An abrupt stop. Imagine eat. Like a tough landing where the seatbelts Gonna help you. Maybe not crash into the seat in front of you.
Noah
Yeah. I don't know.
Rhea
Just like being in a car, wear your seatbelt, right?
Noah
Well, cars totally different to me, you.
Rhea
Should wear your seatbelt in all moving vehicles.
Fran
Yep.
Rhea
Airplane. Put your seatbelt on. I can't believe he just said he doesn't wear a seatbelt on.
Noah
Like, I don't think.
Rhea
When they say. When they say, we're preparing for landing, and you're like, I always. No matter what my seatbelts on the.
Noah
Plane, I really get annoyed when they walk by and they're like, put your laptop away. Or, like, put your seat up.
Fran
Like, why are you getting annoyed at them doing their job.
Noah
No.
Fran
What is wrong with that? They're doing their job.
Noah
Some of this stuff doesn't mean there's.
Rhea
Reasons for them to do it, or else, you know, they would.
Fran
So the laptops don't go flying in the air when they're landing. And all these other things like the sea table. Like, there's reasons.
Noah
I don't know. Or the table trays. Like, what?
Fran
You're being nitpicky. We're moving on from this.
Rhea
You really are.
Fran
Because no reason for that anyways. There's really.
Rhea
Thank God the people that were on that flight were wearing their seats.
Fran
For sure. There's nothing more dramatic, though. Getting caught in the wind. It's like where you find. Or I find myself to be the most dramatic. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm gonna blow away.
Rhea
I'm like, I'm light as a feather. No, seriously, this wind's gonna take me out, right?
Fran
You're like, oh, my God. I'm a dainty little girl.
Rhea
This wind's gonna take me right out.
Fran
Right?
Rhea
I actually, Joey. Joey Kamas was in. Was here with his little dog. They'll run around the office on Monday. And I looked at him, I said, make sure you keep that. That little guy in his. In his case. His little carrying case when you're walking home. He would blow away with the wind. I'm like, that. The wind will pick that little guy right up.
Fran
He'd be right in the air.
Rhea
Yeah, right up in the air. It's like in the Proposal when the hawk comes and takes a little dog right out of the. Right.
Fran
I've seen the scene. I've never seen the Proposal as a full movie.
Rhea
That. That little piccolo was also a target for large birds of prey.
Fran
Scary.
Rhea
I only have a dog that little scary thought.
Fran
What else is going on?
Rhea
Are your parents keeping Nova?
Noah
Oh, I've been. People have been asking me about Nova.
Rhea
Every time I say, I don't respond.
Noah
Because I don't make my mom every.
Rhea
Time I see Murray. Well. Well, you're Murray posts with Nova all the time. So.
Noah
No, like, they're not keeping Nova.
Rhea
Nova is still up for. Like, somebody could adopt Nova.
Noah
Someone could adopt Nova, and she's up for adoption. Yeah, it just came down. Well, I don't know. It's a weird thing because it's like, I think everyone wants to keep Nova, but then my mom wants to keep fostering dogs, and it's one of the other things.
Rhea
Yeah, it's a tough dilemma. I mean, it's. That's really hard.
Noah
But Nova, I don't know why she's not like, there have been dogs in the past where I'm like, no offense to the dog, but, yeah, you've said this before.
Rhea
Be nice to the other dogs.
Noah
No, no, but this Nova, I'm like, she's cute. She's awesome. I don't know why no one's jumping on the adoption train for her, but.
Fran
Maybe it's written in the stars for you.
Noah
That's what I keep saying.
Rhea
I said, hey, no, but it's. That is true. But I also really respect and applaud your mom for, like, wanting to keep fostering, because that's really so important. I don't know if you guys seen Alex Earl?
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Fostered a dog at the Miami shelter. She's like. I think she maybe is four years old. Something around there. Some sort of, you know, pit mix. So cute. And it's just always what happens with people who foster. Especially people have, like, a platform in foster is they show these videos of the dog. Like, oh, they're so cute getting along with the family. It's like, they're like, oh, my God, she picked you. Like, you have to keep her. Like, it's like you. And then. And then people, like, get mad and it's like, no, no, don't get mad. Like, the. She's like, the fostering is so important that she is shining this light on this beautiful dog. And Alex knows. She's like, I would love to keep her, but I am like, I travel so much.
Noah
Also the fostering places I don't think want. If everyone just kept the first dog they fostered, there'd be no foster.
Rhea
Exactly. It'd be a disaster. You have to, like, yeah, of course there's foster fails, but, like, you need. You need some fosters who, you know, keep the dog for the time that they have them and then they go off. I'm, like, majorly on foster. Tick tock right now. I. I'm just. I'm like, are you trying. I'm so close to get a dog, like, to foster. Like, no, I want to adopt a dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Noah
Why don't you take Nova?
Rhea
I. Well, you actually be surprised. You'd be surprised. A lot of rescues are very. I mean, maybe not surprised, but a lot of rescues are very particular with not only. Obviously you have to apply and get approved and everything, but location is so important.
Fran
Right?
Rhea
So.
Noah
No, I. I think, like, I've talked.
Rhea
I. I went back and forth with. With a rescue on Long island, and they were like, if you, like, you live in the city. We don't write nothing in the city.
Fran
So it's like, yeah, it's just, like, for dogs. Like, that's why when. Yeah, I lived back on Long island with Norman, and then Norman got so accustomed to being at a. Like a house in a big backyard with my parents. And then, like, now he goes to Florida with my parents and he runs around the backyard there. And so, like, bringing him back into an apartment, I just couldn't do it because I was like, how am I gonna take him out of this environment that he loves so much? Because they just love to run around. You know what I mean? Loves to run around, loves to have that space.
Noah
Other dogs, like, my mom is. That's like, whoever's adopting Nova needs to have another dog is like, she's not gonna give it. Cause Nova's so, like, codependent now on Murray.
Rhea
No, it's so true. There's a lot of. A lot of different things, but I'm like, my tik Tok now is just so, like, all these girls. Oh, my God. This one girl was fostering these two lab baby puppies that were like, babies and a yellow lab and a chocolate lab. And they were like. They had the little round puppy bellies. They were. She was like, working, and they were sleeping in her lap, and she was like, posting videos of her sobbing her eyes out. Being like, I have, like, it's over. Like, they're gonna get adopted. Like, it's just. It's so hard. But that's what I'm saying. Like, what. I think it's actually really cool what Alex is doing. And it's like, being very aware of, like, what. Where you are in your own life to know, like, I can foster and help these dogs get adopted. I am traveling so much right now. I'm doing this. I'M doing that. Like, adopting a dog would be really hard and making sure that that dog has the, like, full attention that it needs. But, like, fostering is so amazing. I hope that. I hope that Asia is her name. I hope she gets adopted fast. I keep seeing all the updates too. I'm like, oh, my God, this dog is.
Fran
I know. So cute.
Rhea
I like, I. And I don't know if I've just been extra emotional about it because I've been thinking about it so much, but she posted a video of. She was in the shower and the dog came and was just like, Just wanted to be close and like, lay down outside the shower waiting for her to come out. I was like, oh, cute. It's like, oh, my. So there was this one muddy pause. Is this rescue in the city that I am just like, I refresh their homepage every day. And they posted a video. I reshared it on my story and like, the song that they chose for it.
Fran
I saw that.
Rhea
Oh, my God, they were like a Miss Piggy went to the event, she didn't get adopted, and then she had to take her home. I was like, I can't do much. I cannot do this. So. But we're. We are traveling a bunch in the next few weeks, and then it calms down a lot. And that's when I'm. I have.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
The calendar opens up maybe in the summer that I'm like, this could be right.
Fran
Could be the time.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I snuggled so hard with Norman this weekend. Like, oh, my God, he is just like the cuddlies. Especially in the winter. Like, I think he. I think he bulks up for winter.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I'm not gonna lie. And he is like, he was so extra cuddly this weekend, and it's like, he's so cute with Luca. Because my sister and brother in law live at my house on Long island with my parents, and Luca, like, chases, like, he gets in his. What am I. Why am I blanking?
Rhea
Crawling.
Fran
No, not crawling. He gets in like the walker.
Rhea
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Chases Norman around the house and then Norman will chase. It's like the cutest. Like, to watch like a little baby friggin. Oh, my God, it's so, so cute.
Rhea
Love it.
Fran
Oh, dogs, they're just.
Noah
They are the best.
Rhea
They are just the best.
Noah
No offense to cat people, but I don't get it.
Fran
Yeah. I used to be like a major cat hater.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But I realized that was just going off of, like, interactions I had with cats as a kid.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And I was Way more afraid of them. I haven't been around a cat in a really long time, but I'm a. I would never get a cat, but I'm more open to the idea of people having cats. Whereas, like, I used to be a little bit more like, why would you have a cat? I could also a kid who just like, judged them.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But now I'm like, I get it. Like, if there's a cat, I like my.
Rhea
I like, I like my sister's cat. I like my sister's cat a lot.
Fran
If there's a cat in the room, I'm uncomfortable.
Noah
I don't know what to do. Like, do you pet it? Like, I don't know. I feel like it'll snap on you.
Rhea
Well, no, you, you, you just like, let it be.
Fran
I did have a cat.
Rhea
You have to gauge how the cat feels.
Fran
Yeah. I had a cat snap when I was a kid and ever since then I had been afraid of cats, but it's kind of worn off a little bit.
Rhea
I will say my sister's cat is very sweet that I.
Fran
Sweet.
Rhea
Yeah. So I, I'm. I like, it's very similar to what you said. I personally would not get a cat, but I appreciate those who do have their cats. Gia is like, friggin loves her cat so much and is so happy that she has her. So. Yeah, like, that's nice. I. I love that for you.
Fran
Yeah. Like, I'll be getting a dog.
Rhea
Yes. Yes.
Fran
All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We are going to be talking about a potential rekindling of Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker. They were seen in Aspen together. Meghan Markle going for the rebrand renaming American Riviera. Huge skims collab with Nike. That's pretty big for Kim Kardashian. Just a couple of, you know, people leaving parties together. And we'll talk about some, some sightings, celebrity sightings, leaving parties together. And we have the popcorner voicemails. So let's get into the rest of the episode. Abercrombie's new long weekend collection is perfect for finally taking your plans out of the group chat. The Scarlet Score is viral for a reason. And you could see what all the hype is about on Abercrombie. I have the Scarlet Score. It is perfect.

I have the scarlet skort. I have the villa dress. I'm looking forward to getting the bubble hem dress, too. You new arrivals every week at Abercrombie. It looks like Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker are potentially rekindling their relationship. They were seen together in Aspen. Now, when Kendall posted pictures the other day on Instagram, people were zooming in on the window, and they saw that it looked like there was a man figure in the window taking the pictures. People thought it was Bad Bunny.
Rhea
They think it was a bad Bunny he was taking.
Fran
He was making videos in a cold, snowy place as well. Turns out. I don't think it was Bad Bunny. I think it was Devin Booker.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
You know, rumors float around about these two all the time. They're. They're seeing each other again. They're not seeing each other. Maybe they're just meant to be. If they keep finding their way back to each other, maybe Kendall should be with Devin Booker.
Rhea
He does seem to be the one that comes back around every single time. You know, she does.
Fran
Why can't these two crazy kids just make it work?
Rhea
Yeah, Yeah, I know.
Fran
What's the back and forth?
Rhea
I know. And it does feel like. Like, Kendall has her guys that are just in the mix on her on and off for years, and maybe it goes to a new guy. Like, that was like, Bad Bunny, but it's back to Devin Booker. Back to Bad Bunny. Back to Devin Booker. Some other guys have been in that mix years ago as well.
Fran
Kyle Kuzma and Winnie Harlow just got engaged.
Rhea
Love that.
Fran
She just. She. Kendall dated Kyle Kuzma. Not just, but she did in the past.
Rhea
Blake Griffin, too, right?
Fran
Yes.
Rhea
He just got. I believe he did engage with Francesca for Frankie's bikinis.
Fran
Yes.
Rhea
She's stunning. That's something that I love when there's just like. Like Francesca. She's a stunning Francesca. You know, I love Frankie's. I love Frankie's bikinis, too. A great brand. But no, I think, like, Kendall has. Yeah, she's got her guys for sure. Devin Booker is the one that keeps coming back, coming back.
Fran
Coming around the mountain when she comes. That's Devin Booker.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And Kendall Jenner when they Hit the slopes. Yeah. Maybe they have that ski bond. Maybe Bad Bunny couldn't ski like Devin Booker could.
Rhea
I'm shocked that Devin Booker can even be on, like, can even be skiing a ski trip while in season.
Fran
You know, he had a couple off days.
Rhea
No, I know. I just. Yeah, I know it was all star weekend, but it's just like, to me, I would. Skiing is one of those sports that I would think that they, like, teams put in their contracts of, like, no skiing during the season.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
You know?
Fran
Right. I wouldn't even risk it if I was him.
Rhea
Yeah. Like, fine. You want to.
Fran
Devon not care about his career.
Rhea
Like, oh, you want to go play a little pickup soccer with your friends? Go ahead. But even that.
Noah
Injure yourself.
Rhea
No, of course. I just. Skiing can be so dangerous.
Fran
It can be.
Rhea
Yeah, it really. And apparently they were seen at Cloud 9 in Aspen, where you have to, like, ski down to the. To Cloud nine and then all the way down the mountain. However, I'm sure there's some sort of celebrity service. Helicopter service, like, jump on a snowmobile, they'll take you up there kind of thing, you know?
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
That would be the dream for them. There has to be.
Fran
Yeah, but she's such a big. No sheer.
Rhea
For sure. For sure. I'm just saying, maybe he's like, oh, I shouldn't ski.
Fran
Right. You know, I'm a big basketball star. Maybe I should be brought up on a snow. We got you hop on.
Rhea
Or like, especially if he's drinking a little bit.
Fran
Right. Back on ski. You're right.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
He can't be doing that.
Rhea
No, it's Aspen. There's got to be some. Some celebrities or super service that takes them around wherever they. Wherever they need to go. But I've always loved these two together, and I hope. Whether they're just like, maybe groups of friends hanging out, who knows? I don't know what level they're. They're not really like the picture that we all saw. It's not like they're canoodling or anything. They're just sitting at the same table together and not that. Not even that close.
Fran
Yeah. We all just imagine that they would be canoodling.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
If they were in the same vicinity.
Rhea
Honestly, I would hope so.
Fran
Yeah. You know what? Like, either way, with this couple, I'm not like, oh, my God, I love them, or, ooh, I don't like them. I'm just like, what? Cool. You know? But you know what I mean? Like, oh, it seems like Devin Booker might be the one for.
Rhea
It's just not a surprise because there hasn't been a new guy in a while. Like, when Bad Bunny first appeared, it was like, whoa, Kendall and Bad Bunny.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
How. This. This is crazy, right? But now it's just been Devin, Bad Bunny. Devin, Bad Bunny. Back and forth.
Fran
It was. Kendall and Bad Bunny did the Gucci campaign together, right?
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
When that hit the shelves, it was good.
Rhea
That was a beautiful campaign.
Fran
It was. It was gorgeous.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
Never his. What were those lyrics? It was like, the sun is hotter in Puerto Rico or something.
Fran
Yeah, he, like, dissed.
Noah
Dissed Devin Booker.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
I forget Sons.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah, there was a lyric dissing Devin Booker.
Rhea
Yeah. Yep, yep, yep.
Fran
Hey, didn't diss him hard enough, I guess.
Rhea
No.
Fran
Because Kendall, you ever see Devin Booker's dog?
Noah
He has a cane Corso.
Rhea
He does, yes, yes.
Noah
And then Kendall has what?
Rhea
Kendall has that beautiful Doberman.
Fran
I don't know.
Rhea
She has one or two. Maybe one. She might have two.
Noah
Makes a great, great family.
Rhea
Kendall's great. That dog is. Kendall's dog is stunning. I've seen, like, lots of pictures of that dog. Kylie's got, like, 18 dogs too, so. Oh, they're all those little greyhounds, right? Right. Yeah, the little Italian greyhounds. The OG Norman.
Fran
I was gonna say. I was gonna say. What? Isn't one of her dogs named Norman?
Rhea
Yeah, first one that we ever. Norman was like, the first one, right, Normie? When everybody was obsessed. And then she got all those other ones. And then sometimes people comment, like, what happened to, like, are all your dogs at home? Like, you have like, 14 of them.
Fran
They're like, where's Norman? People say that to me, too. They're like, where's Norman? And then I have to explain, like, Norman. Norman is with my parents. I promise you. He's in a very loving home. I see him all the time. He is with my parents.
Rhea
Sometimes Kylie, like, posts a random video where you just see, like, six dogs jumping on her. And you were like, oh, shit, I forgot about.
Fran
Right. Like, you have a shit ton of dogs.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
Well, maybe Kendall and Devin Booker can have a beautiful little family together with their dogs. Yeah. But who knows if they're even. Even if they are dating. They were just.
Rhea
I know. They were just having to enjoying their holiday weekends.
Fran
Right. Nice little holiday weekend. It seems like other, you know, celebrities were mingling, leaving parties. Zoe Kravitz and Noah Centineo. That one really took me. Surprise. I actually didn't even see it until we were about to record this podcast. You guys were like, what about Zoe? Kravitz. And Noah says. And I said, what? Zoe Kravitz and Noah Centineo. And then I saw the photographs, and, you know, I'm confused about this one.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Like, I'd welcome it with open arms because we had just met Noah Centeno. We think he's a great guy.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And I think Zoe Kravitz is super fucking cool. But I was confused. Like, I would never, ever. If you were to ask me who the next guy I think Zoe Kravitz was gonna date is. Noah Centineo.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Would not. Would never. Wouldn't be in, like, the first 100 names I would name.
Rhea
No, I agree with you. I actually don't see this one as a love connection. I don't know. That's. It's. Maybe it is. But I love connection. I love connection. I love.
Noah
Maybe she's directing a move.
Rhea
Yeah. Like, I. I thought. I like my. That's kind of where my brain went. Noah was like, oh, maybe they met at the. It was Heim sister's birthday party in the city. And they're also, like. They're just walking down the sidewalk together. And I'm like, oh, maybe. Maybe she was like, oh, you headed east? And he was like, yeah, I am. Are you?
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Okay. Like, let's, like, we'll walk. And Noah's like, maybe Zoe's telling him about a new idea she has. Oh, I got that. I'm working on something. You'd actually be great for it. You know, all rational networking moments are.
Noah
A fan of the recruit, for sure.
Fran
All rational. Booth. All rational thinking just went out the window in my head, because usually I'd be like, oh, what? You don't think a guy and a girl could be friends walking down the street together, leaving a party? That happens all the time. But for some reason, when I saw these two together, I think it just piqued my interest in a way where I was like, well, what if they were dating? And it's very possible that they're just friends or they met at the party and there's some network or really, there's walking in the same direction, leaving the party, but now, yeah, your brain does start to go, huh? What if these two dated?
Rhea
Well, you know. Yeah. And it's. It is so fair that I think everybody. And it's. It sucks for them, but it's just the immediate public's reaction to make it a love connection, even when it's not. Right.
Fran
It could be platonic.
Rhea
It's. It could totally be platonic. I was Thinking about it, and this is like a weird. Like, weird connection with it. But I have just had Love Island All Stars on my brain so much, and it's all over my TikTok was that early on, it was like, oh, Luca dumps his blah, blah, new girlfriend before going into the villa. And his sister commented on it like, luka's been single for two years. He was photographed one time with this girl. Like, not maybe they went on a date, you know, not a serious thing. And that's just also where my brain goes to that one. But then there's different ones, like seeing Zoe Kravitz and Noah Cynthia walk down the street together. I'm like, this feels like a business meeting, but like Glen Powell getting into the back of a car. Giggle, giggle with Lily James.
Fran
Right? And it looks like she's laughing hard at whatever.
Rhea
Glenn Powell is funny. He is funny.
Noah
I think any girl would laugh like, he's the greatest comedian in the world if they were with him.
Rhea
Oh, right. Like, I could be getting in the back of that car with him and be photographed, and people would be like, oh. Cause I'd be giggling my ass off too. He's. He's a charming man. But they were seen leaving a bafta's after party together, and they're photographed in the back of a. Getting into the back of a car. And it does look like giggle, giggles.
Fran
Little miss Giggles in the back of the car.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And Glenn's looking at her like, yeah, I nailed that joke.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
You know what I mean? The kind of look he's giving. Oh, yeah.
Rhea
I mean, they're like, open mouth, full laugh, you know? They were seen leaving the Charles Finch and Chanel BAFTA party at Lulu's in Mayfair Saturday.
Fran
But maybe they're working on a movie together. You never know.
Rhea
No, they absolutely could be.
Fran
But they could be co starring together. Lily James, is she not in a relationship?
Rhea
Good question. I don't know.
Fran
No. Lily James is currently in a relationship with Michael Schumann, a musician who plays bass guitar for the rock band Queens of the Stone Age. They were first linked together in early 2021. But are they still dating?
Rhea
My guess. So this is a description.
Fran
Oh, this was a year ago.
Rhea
Oh, that's way too long. That's. That's. That's.
Fran
Who is Michael Schuman all about? Lily James's boyfriend.
Rhea
That could be. That could be four boyfriends ago at this point.
Fran
Oh, yeah. And they actually dated for two years before it was reported they had split. But it was only about six months before it was reported. They were back on. Oh, so they're not and off couple.
Rhea
Well, Glenn and Lily left this party together. Glenn was seen walking out, the Page Six article says, looking drastically more laid back with the top button of his white shirt undone and his tie loosened.
Fran
Oh, he's letting loose at the party.
Rhea
Lily, who initially walked into the party with a friend, followed soon after with his. With Glenn's jacket draped over her shoulders to keep her warm.
Noah
This is the headline from Daily Mail. Lily James looks giddy as she hops in the back of a taxi with Glen Powell, who shivered chivalrously, gives her his suit jacket.
Rhea
Yep, there we go. Wow. Although the two walked out separately, they climbed in the back of a waiting SUV and sat close together before bursting into laughter.
Fran
And she's wearing his jacket.
Rhea
Yeah. Look at her wearing the jacket.
Fran
Okay, okay. A little bit of a different story.
Noah
Wearing jacket is not a friend thing.
Fran
No. Unless you were really fucking cold.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Unless you were desperado. And I would.
Rhea
It is probably pretty cold in London.
Fran
Yeah. Unless you were like really, really desperate.
Noah
To walk to your car.
Fran
Yeah, no, I would just run to the car at that point. You know what I mean?
Noah
But Lily James, people are going to take pictures.
Fran
Yeah. Lily James taking the jacket from Glen Powell feels like a sign. A little. Go ahead.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
You know what I mean? Zoe Kravitz was not wearing Noah Centineo's jacket in the cold.
Rhea
No.
Fran
Okay. Maybe a little coupling. Yes.
Rhea
So obviously this then said that, like, they talked about Glenn's relationships, that he's been single. And then they said. As for James, it's also believed that she is single after her on again, off again relationship with Michael Schuman, who she began dating in 2021.
Noah
They were in a 2018 film together where they played lovers.
Fran
Glenn Powell and Lily James.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
What film? What 2018 film?
Rhea
I missed that one.
Fran
They weren't a 20. No.
Rhea
They weren't a 2018 film together where they played lovers.
Noah
I'm just reading. I'm reading it word for word on the list.
Rhea
Did you just said that?
Fran
Right?
Rhea
Where they played lovers. They played lovers in a 2018 film together.
Fran
And he asked it as a question. They were in a 2018 film together.
Rhea
Wait, I need to know what movie?
Noah
The girl. The Guernsey.
Fran
Gabby. Wendy's Coming to Tampa.
Noah
The Guernsey Litter Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
Rhea
Oh, the Guernsey.
Fran
Oh, that's an exhaust.
Noah
Yeah, it is.
Rhea
The plot.
Fran
Lovers in the 2018 film. You didn't see?
Rhea
I. I missed this one big time.
Fran
I missed it.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah. The Film stars. Okay, blah, blah, blah. Sending this. Yeah, Damn.
Noah
This Daily Mail article is pretty funny. Lily's relationship. I mean, Daily Mail, famously colorful.
Rhea
They loves it.
Fran
The 20.
Rhea
They love the dramatics as well. I mean, no Wonder they said 2018.
Fran
Dolly. They played lovers.
Rhea
The name. The name of the film is an absolute mouthful. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Gee willikers. So there's some history. Yeah.
Fran
Wow. Dating back to 2018.
Rhea
You know what, though? That makes me think that they've known each other for a long time. And that's just like a. That's just a friend loan in his jacket, you know, and then they're giggling about it in the car. Friends can become lovers.
Noah
Fictional lovers to real lovers.
Fran
They could later years later. Yeah, could happen.
Rhea
It sure can. What a beautiful story that would be for them.
Fran
It would be from their 2018 film to now becoming lovers. That would be gorgeous.
Rhea
To their time after the BAFTAs.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
Enjoying. Enjoying.
Fran
Well, it actually did seem really cold, though. Did you see that video of Selena Gomez shivering on the carpet?
Rhea
It did look very cold, so I.
Fran
Think it was cold.
Rhea
And goes without saying, they make a stunning couple. Gorgeous, Very handsome pairing.
Fran
Do you remember when she was riding on that scooter, though, with that guy from the Affair?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
What's his name? Yeah, this damn scooter.
Rhea
He also played Prince Charles in the Crown. That is Dominic West.
Fran
Dominic West.
Rhea
Well, that was like the whole thing. It was like I was like a real life version of the Affair.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
It was happening because he was. He was married.
Fran
Married.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Those damn scooters.
Rhea
She's beautiful.
Fran
Gorgeous.
Rhea
Her live action Cinderella is so one of my favorites.
Fran
That's a good one.
Rhea
One of my favorites.
Fran
Chicks in the Office is sponsored by Truly. I have a Truly in my hand right now. My favorite favorite flavor, which is the Mountain Paradise.
Noah
Get it?
Fran
It's a little play on paradise and it is peak refreshment. Truly Hard Seltzer is surprisingly light, refreshing and easy to drink. Each can is 5% alcohol, 100 calories and 1 gram of sugar. So it is a delight in a can. It comes in delicious flavors like strawberry, lemonade, pineapple, and the fan favorite is wild berry. My RIA favorite is the Mountain Paradise. It's the official hard seltzer of chicks in the office. So make sure you try and truly drink it Truly with us. We're going to be drinking Truly all year round in the spring. In the summer, it's going to be delightful. You can find Truly at a store near you or visit www.trulyhardseltzer.com Moving on to Meghan Markle. Yeah, she had to rename rebrand.
Rhea
Back it up.
Fran
Beep beep.
Rhea
We got to re. We got a rebrand on our hands.
Fran
Rebrand alert. Rebrand alert.
Rhea
Yep. American Riviera Orchard is now known.
Fran
Hit me with it. I actually read the. I read everything about it without.
Rhea
Oh, you don't know what the new name is.
Fran
Skipping the new name because I wanted to be shot.
Rhea
It's so crazy. It's in, like every headline.
Fran
No, I know. I just, like, somehow was able to.
Rhea
You just like, read your. Read the words then.
Fran
No, I honestly was able to not read.
Rhea
Is now going to be called has ever.
Noah
What?
Fran
I did see that. I didn't think.
Rhea
Yeah, you didn't think that was the name.
Fran
Thought it was just two names in the headline. I just thought it was two words in the headline.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
Has ever.
Rhea
Has as ever.
Fran
As ever.
Rhea
As ever.
Fran
Okay, first of all, it's already confusing. As is it has or as. As Pam or pan. Pam saying Pam saying as not has.
Rhea
American Riviera Orchard apparently caused many a trademark setback for her. The name was an issue.
Fran
No shit, Megan. Meg.
Rhea
It certainly was a mouthful right off the bat. So just as far as, like, something quick and simple and easy for people to remember, American Riviera Orchard was not going to be.
Fran
No, but. But that's what I think. Jam. American Riviera Orchard. Yeah, as ever. Is not flying off the shelves to me as a jam.
Rhea
Well, this is the problem. American Riviera Orchard wasn't supposed to be just jam. It's supposed to be her entire. It's not just about the jam.
Fran
It's all about the jam.
Rhea
It's not about the jam.
Fran
Honey, will you pick me up that as ever jam? Yeah, honey, will you pick me up that American Riviera Orchard jam? No, you're right. American Riviera Orchard.
Rhea
It's really actually hard to say.
Fran
Can you pick me up that ro. Jam A R O like you like? As ever.
Rhea
Yeah, I want jam.
Fran
Honey, can you pick that up? What brand?
Rhea
This is for her entire lifestyle. Brand? It's not just the jam. It's for everything that will be under brand.
Fran
What about something like this?
Rhea
No, I'm sure she's got a lot of things. A lot of things cooking instead of as ever. As ever.
Fran
What about ever after?
Rhea
Mmm. Really lean into the princess thing ever.
Noah
Oh, they'd be mad about that.
Fran
Oh, yeah. I actually.
Rhea
That's a little too princessy.
Fran
I didn't even Put those two together.
Noah
Wait, did you see this headline? Spanish Town wonders if Meghan Markle copied their logo for this. It says the mayor of a village in.
Rhea
In Spain.
Noah
Yeah. Mayor Chris says that the new logo of Meghan Markle's rebranded lifestyle company bears a striking similarity.
Rhea
Yeah, Megan, She. She wrote in a video. There's been a lot of curiosity, obviously, about the launch of the company, which she announced last year. She said last year, I thought, you know what? American Riviera. That sounds like such a great name. It's my neighborhood. It's a nickname for Santa Barbara. But it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area, which is very true. She explained that settled on the new name after Netflix came on. Not just as my partner in the show, but as my partner in business, which was huge. So I thought about it, and I've been waiting for a moment to share a name that I had secured in 2022. And this is the moment, and it is called, as ever.
Fran
Okay, wait, she secured this name in 2022? Wasn't the American Riviera Orchard, like, announced this past year?
Rhea
Yeah, it was 2024.
Fran
I don't know.
Rhea
Maybe she just trademarked, like, a bunch of names in 2022. Like, waiting to see which one stuck.
Fran
As ever, it doesn't hit for me yet.
Rhea
I don't know why. Something about as ever. Like, it just makes my brain immediately. Immediately goes to.
Noah
As if I feel like ever by itself would be better. Ever jam.
Fran
Ever jam.
Rhea
I need something else.
Fran
I don't ever by Meghan Markle.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like a perfume.
Fran
Right? Right. As ever by Megan.
Noah
What about, like, something sparkle. Markle sparkle.
Fran
All right.
Rhea
Sixth grade a.m. some phenomenal break. She should really be looking to you for business advice.
Fran
That was literally her screen name.
Rhea
Megan has that suggested Markle Sparkle to you?
Fran
She flipped.
Rhea
Just think about that one. Sleep on it. Sleep on it.
Fran
She flips the table and all this.
Noah
But I like how, like, skims, which I just recently, the past year discovered this. That her name's in skims.
Fran
Yes.
Noah
I like. Maybe she should ask Kim for an idea.
Rhea
Yeah, well, Kim had.
Fran
Well, Kim originally.
Rhea
Remember Kim originally?
Fran
Yeah, it was kimono.
Rhea
Yeah, that was a problem.
Noah
Which, honestly, skims is way better.
Rhea
Way better.
Fran
Markle Sparkle.
Rhea
Markle Sparkle.
Fran
Iconic. You know? You know what, though? If she came out with her brand name Markle Sparkle, I would buy it. So I would be talking about it.
Rhea
Although now I guess, like, it makes sense with the Netflix show, you know? With love, Meghan.
Fran
Why not just love. Why not just do with love? With love is a good name.
Rhea
Maybe that could love hard to as ever.
Fran
This is the two. Two of the most used words on the planet as and ever.
Noah
Even trademark that.
Fran
Right?
Rhea
Like American Riviera Orchard is still what's up? Like it still has their Instagram up.
Noah
Can we take that name? American Riviera Orchard. I mean it's do something with.
Rhea
Oh, now it. But if you click on the link.
Fran
I'll make my balsamic American.
Rhea
She's probably struggling to get as ever on Instagram because that's not a. That's not a. That's not a. It's not a thing yet. What about With Love as ever? I don't see with love.
Fran
I'm acting as if Megan's going to take my advice and start using with love.
Rhea
No.
Fran
There's no Instagram with love.
Noah
Wait. Let's take it. Make an account someone.
Fran
Right. You do it.
Rhea
Counting down the days. Well, it's like with love. Meghan. I mean there has. There has to be an account with love.
Noah
It's all like with love and something else.
Rhea
Yes. Oh, no. Here it is. With love. Someone has it. She's got a thousand followers. She's private.
Noah
She's about to make up a bag on this.
Rhea
Well, she's got with love. Not With Love Megan.
Fran
Yeah. We're the only ones talking about with love.
Rhea
With Love Megan. Although somebody does somebody also got With Love Megan. Oh my God.
Fran
They With Love Megan.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Is it 18 followers?
Rhea
It says an official Netflix fan page for With Love Megan. But like the Netflix shows always put like Netflix in the. In their handles. You know?
Fran
Right.
Rhea
Net. Like it might be like Netflix With.
Noah
Love as ever has zero followers. 00 everything as ever. Yeah.
Rhea
Oh, then she'll be able to take it.
Fran
Or maybe it's her.
Noah
But should we like try to come up with the other combinations? Make those accounts just in case. As Ever Megan. As ever.
Rhea
No.
Fran
That would be jobless behavior.
Rhea
As ever.
Fran
We don't have time for that.
Rhea
As ever is 000 across the board. That she'll have that in no time.
Fran
Follow.
Rhea
She'll have that.
Fran
Me. That's jobless behavior. But you should follow.
Rhea
She'll have that in no time. However, americanriviera.com does take you to as ever. Now which is the rebrand is in action. Megan frolicking with with Lily Bet across a beautiful green lawn. Do you think I have to resubscribe? I mean, I already subscribed to get updates from American Riviera I now have to resubscribe.
Fran
No, because wouldn't they send you save.
Rhea
Your seat at the table email? Subscribe.
Fran
Wouldn't they send you another email like, hey, we just rebrand.
Rhea
No, I haven't gotten anything. I'm gonna put myself back in.
Noah
Speaking of all this celebrity stuff, I'm actually gonna order a Beyonce whiskey right now.
Fran
Oh, did you ever see that?
Rhea
I didn't even know that she had.
Fran
No, I didn't.
Noah
Yeah, it actually looks really cool.
Fran
What's the bottle like?
Noah
It looks very cool. It has like a horse. Beyonce whiskey, Sir Davis Whiskey.
Fran
Oh, yeah, I've heard of that.
Noah
Yeah, it sounds like an.
Rhea
I didn't know the.
Fran
It does.
Rhea
Oh, Sir Davis.
Fran
A lot of advertisements going on right now. Friends is subscribed to as ever by Megan Live.

Rhea
That's how I got to stay on top of things. I need to know what she's doing.
Fran
Right. We have to know what Megan's doing. Every.
Rhea
All in all, I will say good. Good rebrand move. She couldn't. American Riviera Orchard had to go.
Fran
It wasn't going to take off. Now. What about the CEO situation? Did we get an update on that?
Rhea
I think she's still going to run her.
Fran
She's.
Noah
She CEO sounds chaotic over there.
Fran
It does. It honestly does sound sound a bit chaotic. But yeah, maybe as as ever, we'll take off.

Fran
Moving on Skims has a big collaboration.
Rhea
With Big Business Deal.
Fran
Big business deal. And I have to say this, my initial thought when I saw this was people can like shit on Kim Kardashian all they want. Like that's an insane deal to get with.
Rhea
Insane deal.
Fran
It's an insane deal. Yeah, like that's insane.
Rhea
People are talking about the way that it's going to be run, like how Nike did. I mean, this sounds like an Insane comparison because obviously one is an athlete and but like how Air Jordan is completely like kind of its own entity and all these things. It's like kind of how they're going to do Nike Skims. It's really smart because I think Nike has had problems reaching that, you know, younger 18 to 35 female audience of all the girls that are, you know, Lulu, Aloe, like all the other brands that everybody athleisure, all that stuff that everybody shops at. And this is, this is really smart. So Nike signed a new long term partnership with Kim Kardashians shapewear company Skims to launch a new brand. So it's a new brand on its own called Nike Skim. The new brand will include a collection of apparel, footwear and accessories that will debut this spring with a global rollout planned for 2026. Nike's partnership with Skims comes as the company tries to win over more women and bring in new products as it faces criticism for falling behind on innovation and ceding market share to competitors. So that's really, I mean they're trying like this, as in this is a CMEC article, are trying to compete with the Lululemons. Aloes Voris, Nike Skims. There is not clear what exactly the products will look like or what items will be included in the initial collection. The only image contained in Nike's announcement was a graphic of the new brand's logo. But this is, it's just, it's really, I think it's very, very smart. A new Active line, Active Line with the Skims name attached will give Nike an in with the types of shoppers who are buying Activewear from all these other competitors. Nike has said previously that about 40% of its customers are women. But most apparel brands prefer to have more female consumers than Mal because they tend to shop more and spend more money on clothes. Plus, the gender gap has, plus this gender gap has allowed Nike's competitors to get a foothold in the athletic apparel business. And yeah, this is, this is, this is a big move, big move.
Fran
It's a huge move. It's an insane deal. And not to bring up that awful loser human being, Kanye, but it is sort of insane because Kanye was so against Nike for so long. Easy is Adidas and that whole thing. He has dissed Nike a number of times in his songs in general, publicly, all the time. So I'd imagine it was probably a little bit harder for Kim to break into that space for a couple years now. But now I feel like she is separated enough from Kanye, although she has kids with Kanye. It's separated where she was able to close this deal, which I think is insane.
Rhea
And it's really great for both sides. It's really great for both sides because I think people are so loyal to their, to their activewear brands and they like what they like. And skims is so successful. But like I'll read this says for skims, which was Last valued at $4 billion, the Nike partnership and access to its manufacturing and development capabilities brings a growth opportunity for a brand that is popular but still relatively small compared to competitors. Other intimates brands such as Victoria's Secret have tried and largely failed to branch into activewear. So skims might be able to prove itself a winner in the space with Nike by its side. So it is just also real. It's smart on both ends, but really great for Kim. Like, Kim for the stuff that they have right now for skims, the intimates, the, the shapewear, all things that we.
Fran
Products are incredible, are great.
Rhea
I mean, I, I their bras, they're bralettes bra. Right now I'm like, there's the bras and underwear are some of my favorites and what I wear every single day. And they've done like the loungewear stuff and they do the lingerie stuff, but there hasn't fully been as much. And you know, they done, they've done campaigns with major fashion houses. But the active wear space is so tough that having Nike back them for whatever, like, creative opportunity that they come up with is huge because you get the skims, creativity and design and like, cool factor to it with like the insane business model and infrastructure that Nike has.
Fran
Sure.
Rhea
No, I really smart.
Fran
I think it's super smart. I think it's awesome. I'm excited to see what they come up with because we do love skims. Wear it all the time. And any new product that skims comes out with, I'm excited to try because I always know it's going to be like, reliable. Now with this happening, it's going to be hard to choose, like, athletic wear. You know, what's a what to buy from? I mean, kaware, literally all different kinds everybody else.
Rhea
But people are gonna love this.
Fran
It's gonna be cool.
Rhea
This is a really, really great partnership for them for sure on both sides. I think it's gonna be extremely beneficial.
Fran
I, I honestly was like, what? Like one of those moments. Yeah, open up Instagram. You're like, damn, yeah, that's some deal.
Rhea
That is, that is a massive deal, right, Kim? It's extremely impressive what she's done.
Fran
Gets the shit done. That's it. Done.
Rhea
She sure does.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
All right.
Fran
That wraps up the topics.
Rhea
Introducing innovation from the award winning number one dry shampoo brand. The new Batiste Light Dry Shampoo is their lightest dry shampoo ever. Which addresses some of those main reasons you may not already be using dry shampoo. It blends seamlessly into your hair and leaves no visible white residue. It's lightweight and non gritty, absorbing oil and grease for cleaner looking hair without weighing it down. Batiste Light Dry Shampoo comes in two soft and subtle scents, the Mello Melon and Zen Matcha. Both of these smell great. I know sometimes with a dry shampoo you want something that's not crazy overly scented, but these scents are great. And I know what the biggest problem is with dry shampoos. You use them and you feel like you have like a white cast left in your hair. Maybe you have to like really, really rub it in for that to go away. That is what makes the Batiste Light Dry shampoo so great. Just blends seamlessly into your hair and leaves no visible white residue. So buy Batiste Light Dry Shampoo online or in store at your nearest retailer.
Fran
All right, let's get into the popcorner where we're taking your voicemails, your hot takes, whatever you want to talk about. Let's hear them. Let's get started.
Caller
Hi Rhianne. Fran, I'm a huge fan of your guys show. It truly gets me through the week. So me and my sister were arguing recently about High School Musical and I thought it was a no brainer that High School Musical 3 was clearly the best. But she seems to differ and says that two is the best. So I just wanted to call and ask you guys what your opinion is because my opinion is 3. 1, 2. Because the third one obviously has the best plot, the best songs, the best everything. And then the first one, of course it's the original. You can't outdo the doer. And I mean the second one is great. Don't get me wrong, I'm probably High School Musical's biggest fan, but I just think that the third one is the best. But she just keeps arguing with me that the second one is the best. So sorry I'm rambling but I would just love to hear your guys opinion on which is the best. Thank you. Love you guys so much.
Rhea
Love you too. But I, I, I do have a soft spot for three. I do love three. And for a while like if you took when they first were coming out, I would have gone three.
Fran
Oh, no, no, no. I'm so not a three.
Rhea
It's. It's completely swapped now. It's two.
Fran
It's two. It's 2 for me. It's 2. 1, 3. 3 is a very clear last for me.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
2, 1, 3, hands down. I'm. I. I agree with your sister.
Noah
I.
Fran
We've spoken about this before, too. I am. I will not be changing it. And when we just did the rewatch, it solidified me even more.
Noah
What about just going off songs alone?
Fran
2 still.
Rhea
2 is 1.
Fran
3.
Rhea
2 is what elevates we beat it or not.
Noah
Feed it. What is it?
Fran
Bet on it.
Noah
Bet on it.
Rhea
2. The songs in two is what solidifies it for me.
Fran
Me too. Like, that's what makes it the best line.
Noah
Did you see the video that someone edited of Montoya to bet on it, where it's like. Exactly. It's incredible.
Fran
No, I haven't seen it, but please send it my way. I'll take more of those videos. Yeah, no, for me, the songs in two, those are top notch. And then one goes right after that.
Rhea
Yeah, I. Yeah. I mean, nothing hits more than the end of two for me, you know, Every day. Every day. Yeah, that's. I think that's, like, my favorite out of the whole franchise.
Fran
I didn't like the newbies in three.
Rhea
Yeah, that. Yeah. I.
Fran
Out of here. Get them out of here. I agree. They stink.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's. It's. And like, two is a little. I don't even know. Like, two's, like, kind of campier. Like, it's like the. The summer. Like, this set. Like, everything just kind of looks like fake.
Fran
The bright colors.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're all. They're bad. Spray T. It's just all. Yeah.
Fran
Zach's eyes are popping like no other. Yes.

Caller
Hi, Rhiannon, Fran, this is Hannah from Chicago. I want to know, who do you think is the best musician who has crossed over into acting? For me, I don't know. It might be Lady Gaga. Maybe don't count the newest Joker film. But overall, I just want to know, who do you think is the most successful with that crossover? Let girls. Bye.
Fran
Love you, too. Good question. Immediately, my brain went to Lady Gaga. Now it's going to Harry Styles to give him credit because people down his throat for don't worry, Darling. Even though I thought he was great.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Trying to get more people who have made that crossover. I mean, Lady Gaga was my. Was my initial response to that.
Noah
It's easier to go the other way around.
Fran
Right. Because Miley Cyrus would be my answer.
Rhea
Right, right.
Fran
But that's.
Rhea
Well, I think it's like. Yeah. I feel like a lot of actors can sing.
Fran
Right. They become musicians.
Rhea
Whereas musicians, you know, at like, all different levels, we're like, whether you're good or, like, not good. I mean, there are a lot of decent singers, but it's harder, I think, the musician to actor. Pipeline.
Fran
What about Queen Latifah?
Rhea
That's a good one.
Fran
I just looked up. What about Beyonce became actors.
Rhea
I was gonna say Will Smith is on here.
Fran
I wouldn't put Beyonce into that. She was in that. She was in that movie.
Noah
Obsessed Powers.
Rhea
Austin Powers.

Rhea
Fronts of benefits.
Noah
Mark Wahlberg.
Rhea
Mark Wahlberg for sure. Ooh, Mandy Moore is a good one.
Noah
Oh, you know who? Ice Cube.
Rhea
JLo's on here. JLo might be a top one, too.
Noah
That is. Yeah.
Fran
That's so true. Wow. Now that you look, there's so much more.
Rhea
So many more. It's hard to come up with it off the top of your head of, like. But then. But it's also kind of hard to distinguish because sometimes people are. When they first jumped on the scene, like they were doing acting and music.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
It's like the people who had a really, like, long standing music career first and then started to do acting. Like Lady Gaga was such a. Like, all music for so long.
Noah
It's kind of like a one off.
Rhea
Yeah. I think you need somebody that's done, like a lot more action.
Fran
Played himself.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
So it's like.
Noah
And then he played himself in Funny People.
Fran
I mean, you mentioned Will Smith, the passing. That's a huge one. Yeah. Will Smith. Will Smith might be, you know.
Rhea
Right. Like, I think, like, JLO might be at the top too.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
I mean, Jay, I mean, Will Smith has one.
Rhea
Just as far as, like, you know, debt, like, quantity as well. And just doing a lot of Mark Wahlberg. Yeah.
Noah

Rhea
Yep. Huh.
Fran
There's way more than you think.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
That's a good question, though.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Right. Next. Next. Voicemail. That's a good question.
Caller
Hi, Maria, Fran and Noah. I'm a huge fan since day one, but I just want to get your opinion. So this is a debate in my house between my roommates. So I'm gonna do a Kiss, Marry, Kill with Bobby Flay, Gordon Ramsay and the Property Brothers. Oh, there's good arguments to be made for all sides of this, but I just want to get your opinion, because none of us to agree. Okay, bye. Love you guys.
Fran
Love you very much. Thank you for being a Day One fan.
Rhea
You know, the thing is, is I don't. I don't.
Fran
Who are the Property Brothers? Like, I know that I don't.
Rhea
Property Brothers are.
Fran
I. I do.
Noah
Deschanel's married to us.
Rhea
Yeah, she is. They're hgtv.
Fran
Right, right, right. Yes. I know them.
Rhea
I think I'm killing the Property Brothers.
Fran
I had the same thought.
Rhea
And it's solely because, like, also because I feel like there's two of them. Like, it's. How do you pick one?
Noah
Wait, is she going off of looks or like the show?
Rhea
I think all around.
Fran
I think just like.
Rhea
I think all around vibe. All around, all around person. I think I'm kissing Bobby Flay. I don't know. Bobby seems to go on a lot of dates.
Fran
Right, Right. But automatically my brain goes to entourage.
Rhea
Like 100. Right. Like solely, like a Bobby Flay. Like, date, like, to, you know, you.
Fran
Were gonna say Bobby Flag experience.
Rhea
The Bobby Flag Experience. Which then would, I guess, lead to marrying Gordon Ramsay, which I'm not upset about.
Fran
Hmm. Now, why would you want to marry Gordon Ramsay over Bobby Flay?
Noah
Great food the rest of your life.
Rhea
I think sitting with Bobby Fly. I think Gordon Ramsay is.
Fran
You're talking about two chefs here.
Rhea
Okay. This is. I wanted to make sure. I was backing up my. My thought process here, but I was like, I think Gordon Ramsay's a little bit more of a family guy.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
More like husband material.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
He has been married since 1996.
Fran
Oh, okay. Okay.
Rhea
Unheard of in this day.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
Long standing marriage. He's got kids. You know, he's like, Bob, who knows what Bobby Fly is.
Fran
Right. That's totally the right way of thinking.
Rhea
Bobby Fly is a playboy.
Fran
I think Bobby Fly is a playboy from what we've seen or heard. Right. In the media.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
So I'm with you on that. The Property Brothers. I am actually not even entertaining the thought of marrying or kissing them.
Rhea
Gordon Ramsay has four kids. Been married since 1996. While. Yes. He may get angry on television. I doubt he's like that at home.
Fran
Right, right. He could be a really good father and husband.
Rhea
Exactly. Yes. You know, obviously everybody talks about his. His terrible temper, but.
Fran
Right. But maybe that's it out in the house. Yeah. Maybe he gets it out in the kitchen and when he goes home, he's not like that.
Rhea
He's married to a school teacher.
Fran
Oh, that's. That is really nice.
Rhea
And they have six children.
Fran
What? That's nice.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
Good for them.
Rhea
Yep. Yep.
Fran
That's gorgeous.
Rhea
Isn't. That's so nice?
Fran
That is really nice. Yeah, I think. I think that's the correct answer there. I think you got a Bobby Gordon. Bobby Gordon. You're gonna marry Gordon.
Rhea
A lot of money. I mean, Bobby too, but just. I'm reading about all these properties he has over in England.
Noah
Gordon Ramsay's, would you say easily more famous.
Rhea
Oh, my God. He's got an incredible car collection as well. Ferrari. Collects Ferraris.
Fran
Slow down. You're married.
Rhea
Collects Ferraris. End. Has been involved in a ton of charity works. Property in England, three houses in Cornwall.
Fran
I'm picking Gordon. Marrying Gordon, kissing Bobby, killing the property brothers. Yeah, that's our answer. We're gonna lock that in.
Rhea
Yeah. With golf season quickly approaching, Chevy wants to help you make the most of every drive. The all electric Equinox EV has it all. A roomy interior, high tech screens, and more Chevrolet together. Let's drive.
Fran
Sarah.
Caller
Good day to the chicks and the one rooster in the office. My name is Hannah and I'm calling from Wisconsin. My question for you is if you could go back to one particular year of music, which year would it be? For an example, mine would probably be 2012 because I was a freshman in college and there was nothing better than playing beer pong in a smoky, stinky, moldy basement while jamming to Young, Wild and Free and chugging a dirty cup of beer that was used to play the deer bong. So, Ann, congratulations on your big win, friends. Fly, eagles, fly. I'm excited to hear what your answers will be. Bye, girls.
Rhea
One. Obsessed with her.
Fran
Yes, Great question.
Rhea
My brain immediately also goes to 2012. That was my senior year of high school. Just like we were bumping levels in the basement, like having the time of our lives. And that was also. I don't care. I love it. Yes. Like, it was around that time period. 2012 was really. And it. You pick the music for the time of your life that it reminds you of, you know, like, that was. The music was so good because we were just young, wild and free. Young, wild and free. Just partying our little butts off. Before everybody went to college, if I was like, what I go back to a lot is even those, like, early dizzy years, I'd be like, 2009, like, around the Joris Brothers, Miley Demi era of 2009.
Fran
Yeah. When did High School Musical 2 come out? Right.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I actually was just listening to a playlist. 2011 dash, 2013, rap hits. Because I think the error of 2011 to 2014, rap is where my playlist. My playlist likes to. Likes to lay. You know, I like to carry on in that area for a lot of music I'm listening to. So that would be really hard for me to pick one from between 2011 and 2014. It would be sometime in. In between that time. Now I would have to go through every song on this list and find out when specifically these certain songs came out so that I could decide which one I would want to listen to over and over again.
Noah
The easy way would be to go back and listen to the earworm.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah. 2008's a big one.
Fran
United United States of Pop. 2009.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I got pop, I got dance, I got rock, the electronic club beats. Yep, that was a great year. 2009.
Rhea
2008 was a big one for me. Of that was like Miley, Jonas Brothers, funny enough. Viva La Vida, the Coldplay album was like 2008. Yeah. I listened to that albums front to back.
Noah
All the best albums ever.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I would probably pick just to go different from 2012.
Rhea
Yeah. Because it lines up with all the years I like, graduate, like, eight. 2008 was my eighth grade, like, right. Yeah.
Fran
I would probably pick 2009 or 2011. Picking one of those.
Rhea
I think I'm actually with her on 2012. That was really.
Fran
That one's such a good one. I still don't want to copy the answer.
Rhea
I know it is tough. And like, that era of like, EDM house music was so fucking good too.
Fran
So good. 2008 was a really fucking good year.
Rhea
2008 was awesome.
Noah
Continuum, John Mayer.
Rhea
Yeah, 2008.
Fran
Shit. Good question. All right, let's do one last one.
Caller
Hey, Rhianne, Fran, this is Courtney from New York. Love the show. My question is for all three of you, Noah included. If you three had to go head to head in a trivia battle and.
Rhea
You each got to pick one reality.
Caller
Star to be your partner, who would.
Fran
It be and what?
Caller
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Rhea
Have a good one. We had to pick a reality star for trivia. For trivia. Is it like Jeopardy style trivia, or is it Beat Ring and Fran style trivia?
Fran
Pop culture trivia.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Ooh.
Noah
Tom Sandoval.
Rhea
That's such a great question.
Fran
Reality star, all of a sudden my brain has gone blank.
Rhea
Does Paige count as a reality Star.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rhea
You feel like we're doing pop culture trivia.
Fran
Like, even one of the Kardashians would count as a reality star. That's where they got their start.
Rhea
True.
Fran
Kris Jenner.
Noah
I feel like they wouldn't be good at.
Rhea
Sometimes I feel like you want someone that's not so, so famous because then, like, I feel like those people know less, you know?
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
Like, I would pick Nicole Richie.
Rhea
Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. She'd be so fun.
Fran
I feel like she would just be a lot of fun. Funny, good energy. Probably knows a lot.
Rhea
Yep. She would be. She would be a lot of fun. Yeah. That's a good one. That's a good pick.
Noah
You know, just came to my head. Rob Dyrdek. I don't know why.
Rhea
Wow.
Fran
Okay, fuck it.
Noah
Because he had that show. What was that show? Not the Fantasy Factory, but then the one where. No, no. Where he watches, like, viral. I feel like he would just know a lot.
Fran
Ridiculousness.
Noah
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
The worst show.
Noah
It is a bad show, but I feel like through that show, maybe not.
Rhea
I don't know how much knowledge you're getting from ridiculous. I don't know if watching people, like, drive motorcycles off the roof of their house.
Fran
Very knowledgeable.
Rhea
Into pools is really.
Noah
Yeah.
Rhea
Maybe not garnering a lot of. Of trivia.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
I'm almost shocked that you didn't remember the name of ridiculousness.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
I would always. I'd never watch it. I love Fantasy Factory.
Rhea
Maybe I go, like, maybe somebody who's been, like, a judge on something, like Simon Cowell.
Fran
Yeah. Or Gwen Stefani.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But what they don't. Encounters reality stars.
Rhea
No.
Fran
Simon. More so, I think.
Rhea
No, no, no. You need, like. I mean, I'm just, like, trying to think of, like, Bravo, Dolores. Yeah. Or people for fully. Like, if we were doing Jeopardy. Trivia. Oh, maybe I'd go like Dorinda.
Fran
Mm. Yeah.
Rhea
Luan.
Fran
Right, right.
Noah
Do you think they're caught up if it's, like, more recent stuff? I guess it depends. If it's pop culture.
Rhea
Well, it's like. Yeah, that's what. I don't know if, like, we're. If you're asking me world history questions, it's different than.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
You know, finish the lyric.
Noah
I put all my faith in Boston Rob. I don't know if he has any trivia.
Rhea
I would, too. I have.
Fran
I actually. I just didn't want to use him again. But he would be a good.
Rhea
I would too. I would too. For sure.
Fran
All right. Now I want to play trivia with Nicole Richie.
Rhea
That would be so fun.
Fran
That'll be so.
Rhea
I just want to hang out with her in general.
Fran
