Kelly Keegs
Thank you.
Fran
Is here in Rhea's seat today to help fill in while she's away in her honeymoon. Feels like she's been gone forever. I'm sure she thinks it's flying back. Yeah. Like, I'm sure she's like, I don't need to. I don't need to come back, but so good to see you. Thanks for coming in.
Kelly Keegs
I know. And the new title of the segment, Tell everybody.
Fran
Yes. Fran and Friends.
Kelly Keegs
Fran and friends.
Fran
We just made it friends. Not a ripoff show at all.
Kelly Keegs
You're like, no. Lawsuits.
Fran
No. Have you seen the people she's had on? I feel like they've been so good.
Kelly Keegs
Yes. I saw like, the clips, which is so, you know, like. I know. But today I saw the ability to clip.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly Keegs
He saw that.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Died.
Fran
I loved. I feel like Justin Sylvester's done it a bunch.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. But he's done it, like, for the. The Jenna and friends. Like, he was an og.
Fran
Yes. You know, I feel like he is such a good. He's so Chair for her.
Kelly Keegs
So good.
Fran
And they. They always bring him back. So I'm like, maybe he could be the permanent. The permanent one. If they do pick a permanent one.
Kelly Keegs
Maybe they'll just always have Matt Rogers. That was. Doing it with her is so fun.
Fran
But.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, that's.
Fran
That's the clip I saw as well. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Kelly Keegs
You know me, though. I'm like, Hilaria. Like, I assume everyone knows what we're talking about, but I know I. If you're listening to this podcast, like, you should know.
Fran
Yes. But Hilaria Baldwin was the guest, and Matt. I just. Matt Rogers, like, facial expression was.
Kelly Keegs
I know. Because, you know, he's judging. Like, I. All I wanted to comment was like, but I want to throw him under the bus. Like, you're dying. You know, Like, Jenna's so sweet. Jenna's like, Jenna read the thing, you know, and she's like, oh, code switching. So she's gonna ask her.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly Keegs
But Hilario wasn't ready to go there, in my opinion. No, no, she was ready to, like, write in the book. Yeah, but she wasn't. She didn't remember, like, what the whole code switching thing means.
Fran
And I also think she just knows.
Kelly Keegs
It's so sad.
Fran
It's a promotional wheel, you know, it's. Oh, I'm not gonna tell you now. Cause you gotta read my book.
Kelly Keegs
Right. But don't you feel like she should have just said, I'm obsessed with Spanish? Like, did Britney ever explain her random British accent? Did. No. Lindsay Lohan never explained the video where she was, like, in Dubai, like, no.
Fran
Right. She did get an ad. That was an accident, for sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
But I'm just saying, like, Madonna has done it. Like, I feel like she should have just been, like, obsessed with Spain. Have a problem. So much so that I learned Spanish fluently, named all my kids Spanish names, and I call myself Abuelita. Like. Yeah, live with it. You know?
Fran
I agree.
Kelly Keegs
The code switching is just like, first of all, it's a whole thing we need to learn about now. But I do. I have this thing. I don't know. I think, friend, you. You're compassionate. I feel like you. You go. Like, sometimes you can go.
Fran
I try. Yeah, you can.
Kelly Keegs
You. Like, I saw something recently popped up.
Fran
It really has to get me for Me to go full, like.
Kelly Keegs
Like, angry about it.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
But I just always feel for the person that, like, the whole world is turning on.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
So you're like, damn. Like, that must be hard, you know, 100%.
Fran
But I. Sometimes I think you can. But it's certainly, like, sympathize with that.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
But at the same time, you're like, stop digging.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, stop digging. I know.
Fran
Stop digging.
Kelly Keegs
But with her, it's so, like. Like, we've had some scandals that are, you know, crazy. This was like a fun Covid scandal.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
This was like cucumber. Like Amy Schumer. This was. These were the good times.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
You know, and it's.
Fran
By the way, it's also, like, opposite. I feel like people do it now with British people who come to the States, and then they lose their accent, and it's like, Millie Bobby Brown. Like, she's like, look, I live. I'm here in the States a lot. Like, now I'm. I'm married to Bon Jovi. Like, I've got, like, sometimes my accent comes in and out.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
And that's so fine. We give that a pass. Married to a Bon Jovi.
Kelly Keegs
Married to a Bon Jovi. Yeah. No, but she does get asked about it.
Fran
She does a lot.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. Which is probably so, like.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Boring.
Fran
Right? You're just like, sorry.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. Like, she. She likes doing a little Valley Girl moment, which I love. You know, just put it on, make it fun.
Fran
Exactly. I. We're gonna get into a bunch of topics. We have a great show. I got trivia as well for everyone listening. And our animatics came in to promote Love Island. New season is coming out, so she popped in as well. Super excited to watch that. But I do have to fill you guys in on something that happened this week, and you'll hear about it now, too. But Spotify hosted a fan event for Miley Cyrus new album, and it was Wednesday night, and I went with my sister, and it was at the Metrograph, which is like, Lower east side. Cool. Cool spot. And we went in and they played the whole visual album. So it was very like, she's putting out the new album. But it's also a visual element to it. The fashion, the moments, the strutting, the dancing. Like, it is so good.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
She is so hot. Like, I. My jaw was on the ground the whole time. She's the best legs. The best legs.
Kelly Keegs
She's like a pilates bod throughout 100.
Fran
And I love it because I guess she. The credits rolled, and I'm not Gonna, you know, I don't want to give too much away.
Kelly Keegs
Can you post about it? Like.
Fran
Yeah, I post about it.
Kelly Keegs
Embargoed.
Fran
I was there, but I'm not gonna be like, this person showed up in the. Like there's. There's things that obviously want people to. Because there was moments where the whole theater and there was a lot of OG Miley fans in there where the theater screamed. Yeah. Like full blown. Like.
Kelly Keegs
Okay, okay. And you're not spoiling it.
Fran
No, I'm not. I'm not. But she looks amazing. She sounds amazing. The music's cool. Very, like across the board. I would say kind of a lot of 80s synth pop, kind of inspo dance.
Kelly Keegs
Do you feel like she gets the credit that she deserves?
Fran
I don't.
Kelly Keegs
Because she's not like an Ariana Selena.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Like Lady Gaga.
Fran
I know.
Kelly Keegs
Well, Charlie Xia.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. But it's just like people have like the moment.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
And like she did have it with flowers because of the Liam stuff, but that's annoying because it's kind of because of the Liam stuff. But I feel like she deserves to have like a crazy ass fandom. Like the myelinators, you know?
Fran
Well, they're the Smilers and they go hard.
Kelly Keegs
See, I don't know.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Kelly Keegs
The Smilers.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Did she call them that?
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, so are you a smiler?
Fran
I would. I'm totally a smiler.
Kelly Keegs
Okay.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
So you.
Fran
I've been in from the beginning for sure.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
She deserves more, but it goes up and down. Like she. She has transformed herself, I feel like so many times too.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
And the albums have different sounds and she's put out rock albums. She's done pop albums. No, I think it's just like you.
Kelly Keegs
Have to be artist.
Fran
Yeah. You have to be down with whatever season she gives us.
Kelly Keegs
Was her boyfriend there?
Fran
He was not. At least not that we saw. But I do think he is, like, worked with her on this album a lot. Like his name was in a lot of the. The credits and such, which is very exciting. She did tease, so we watched it and then she came out for like a little Q and A and she did kind of tease that, you know, she's found this new place in her life and the music kind of reflects that. And she made some jokes and she gave some great advice that she said that Dolly gave her. And I'm gonna butcher it now as I try to remember it. And she did her Dolly voice and it was, you know, you do you, I'll do me. And together we'll be us. You know, it's just like, you don't try to be me. I don't try to be you. You stick to yourself and you like live in that and then it forms a great relationship.
Kelly Keegs
I feel like she's so good. Just like you talking about her makes me think, like, she should be in movies also. Like, she should be. You know what I mean? Like the way Ariana Grande was just like a good.
Fran
Such a star.
Kelly Keegs
She was so good. I mean, she is an actor. Okay. Like, we've seen her. She's played two characters in one. Like the last.
Fran
Takes a lot to be Hannah and Miley.
Kelly Keegs
The last song.
Fran
Last song. Yep.
Kelly Keegs
Favorite movie ever.
Fran
So that's what. So Rhea walk. Rhea walked. Rhea's first dance song was the song from the. The last song.
Kelly Keegs
Really?
Fran
When I look at you.
Kelly Keegs
No.
Fran
And it was so.
Kelly Keegs
Ironically or for real?
Fran
No, no, no, for real. They love the song. They're massive Miley fans. They love the song. And we joke because her husband, one of his, like, biggest things when he first started working here was he would joke that he like listens to six songs on repeat. Like, he doesn't listen any new music. He just had like 10 songs that he would always listen to. And one of them was the Climb. And he just fucking loved the Climb. So they love Miley. It was so sweet. So Ria was very. People in my DMs like, I can't believe you went to this without Ria. I'm like, okay, first of all, she was obviously invited. Yeah, she couldn't go.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
She's on her honeymoon and I told her about it. I didn't go without telling.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, but because people know how strong you guys ride.
Fran
Yes.
Kelly Keegs
Like, my question to you though, 100 new, like synthetic dance vibe. Do you think it's going to like, could you see there being TikTok trend?
Fran
Absolutely. Like, and I think there is a lot of parts of the visual and album that could be recreated. Dance, tick tocks, strutting, modeling, like the whole thing. It's her hair, makeup, the outfits. It's all about like the different outfits she wears too. I don't know all the details of them, but I'm sure they're all, you know, crazy insane.
Kelly Keegs
And her hair is like different now.
Fran
Yes. And she's a lot of different hairstyles throughout it as well.
Kelly Keegs
She has a hair thing.
Fran
She has figured it out.
Kelly Keegs
Like, hasn't figured out.
Fran
I don't love the little bangs she has right now. That's a personal.
Kelly Keegs
She adds More volume, I think, like, some things. Yeah.
Fran
But then there's, like, one moment she has this beautiful. Just, like, high pony with the bangs, and I'm, like, chic. Like, it just.
Kelly Keegs
Okay.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Well, now we're dying to know.
Fran
I know, I know. It's. It's really. It's so good. I think people should be really, really excited about it. She has a new song coming out today now as well. It's a new single. Yeah, she sang it at that event the other night, too. And that's definitely more, like, ballady, but it's beautiful. And. No, she's, like, the sweetest. And she's so nice to her fans. Yeah, she's so respectful. They care about her so much. But she gives people, like, the time of day and we'll chat and remember. No, she does not.
Kelly Keegs
See.
Fran
But it was really interesting to watch because I haven't been to too many events where I've seen how people that famous have to enter and exit a building.
Kelly Keegs
Okay, what'd you see?
Fran
Everyone was leaving, and everyone was waiting in the lobby to be like, okay.
Kelly Keegs
And people thought she'd come out of there.
Fran
They were like, oh, maybe she'll be. They. I mean, they had the. They had the SUV set up right outside. Another suv, like, blocking the street. So, like, people. It was hard for people to come. And then they cleared the lobby, but when we came out, there was already fans lined up along the barricade with, like, things for her to sign and all that stuff. Just, like, see her walk out. And we waited, like, 20 minutes, and she came out and we were across the street because it was, honestly, mayhem. But, like, she was signing things, saying hi to people, and she gets in the car and, like, just gets whisked away, you know, it's just, like. I just thought it was so crazy to think, like, you. She can never normally enter an exit a lot, anywhere.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah, anywhere. It's crazy. And I went with my sister, and she loves her, too, and she's so funny. I was cracking up. Miley's in the car. I'm literally filming my sister because she's. Miley's in the car, and she's right next to the car, and she's, like, waving to her through the window. She's like, the album's so good. Love you so much.
Kelly Keegs
I mean. I mean, because that. That's when you get the karma. Because, like, yeah, you have to, like, be able to leave, you know, without the fans. Like, but at the same time, some people do it so gracefully.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
They'll sign, sign, sign, then wish away.
Fran
Exactly.
Kelly Keegs
That's all you have to do.
Fran
I know.
Kelly Keegs
Like, we get that you can't sign everything.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
But also, like, I'm sure the celebs, huge stars, they want the people behind the barricades. Like, what if no one shows up? There's a parricade prepared.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly Keegs
No one's behind the barricade.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly Keegs
They would die.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly Keegs
They need that.
Fran
Exactly.
Kelly Keegs
It's not. If not like these people probably, like the. There's probably somewhere where the fans are told, like, she's going to be here if you want to camp out at the barricade.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
You know?
Fran
Yeah. And they had the. They had the event decal, like, on the outside. So even if you had walked by it earlier in the day, you know, you would have known it said, like, on the glass, it was like something beautiful. Miley Cyrus, like, it's with the Spotify logo and things. So you could definitely see that there was something going on. But.
Kelly Keegs
But, you know, my God, my friend.
Fran
So good.
Kelly Keegs
My friend was in Calabasas and he is from Israel, so he got so excited to see her at Erewhon and he said it was so weird that, like, Miley Cyrus was legit by herself shopping at Erewhan and nobody was cared. He was like, she went to the cashier, like, click, click. Like, no one's like, oh, it's literally Miley.
Fran
Right.
Kelly Keegs
So he's the only one that outside, like, asked for a photo and he dressed up as her for Halloween. Like, he's a mega fan. Like, imagine.
Fran
Amazing.
Kelly Keegs
And so he told her, he was like, I wore your custom. Like he said in his accent. And she goes, it's not custom, it's custom. Which apparently is a line of hers, which I didn't know because he sent it to me because he doesn't speak English that well. He's like, what does she mean? What does she mean? I'm like, I don't know what she means. Like, is she correcting you? Because you said costume wrong. But apparently a lot of Miley fans told him, like, she has this thing, like, it's not custom. It's custom.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Anyway, she was super cool. She took a picture, even did like a thing. And that's so sweet, you know, because you hear a lot about stars and there's a whole new movement a la Chapelle.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly Keegs
Of like, don't approach me. Don't fucking take a picture with me. Like, don't come near me.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
And then everyone's like, you Go, girl. Like that said boundaries, which I get.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
But I also come from a time where, like, people love their fans and. And. And you know, and I feel like the. The love is mutual. Like, you gotta give to receive.
Fran
Totally.
Kelly Keegs
You know, Miley.
Fran
And Miley feels that 100%. I think she's always felt that. Even talking during the Q and A. Just like a lot, lot of, you know, I. This feel the love in the room. I feel like we've all grown together. You've been with me for so long. So it was really, really very sweet. And I'm so excited for everybody here. I think they're gonna love is just once it like, really. She does do this kind of eras type thing where it's like different vibes. And I love this. The visual album is so stunning. So stunning. It was fun because we were like at the movies, so we got popcorn and like a candy and we got to sit.
Kelly Keegs
Okay.
Fran
Yeah. It was like.
Kelly Keegs
Yes, it was standing on me.
Fran
Like, we got to sit and watch the whole thing and enjoy and just like, be in awe of how absolutely stunning and gorgeous and amazing she is. She's just Miley. Yeah, she really, really is. And it was. It was so much fun. So I'm very. That the album comes out the end of the month and there's a rumor that maybe she's gonna tour for this, which would be great because in the past few years she's kind of said, you know, touring is just. It takes too much out of her.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
She doesn't really love doing it.
Kelly Keegs
I could see that.
Fran
Yeah. It's so fair. I think it's like she's like. I feel like I give, give, give, give when I'm on tour. It's just like a lot.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
And other. I mean, we know other artists have felt that way too. So if she does it in a way that, like, she's excited because then.
Kelly Keegs
You can get a headline like a thousand empty seats, you know?
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
The Beyonce, like, leave Beyonce alone. Like, everyone wants to see beyond.
Fran
Don't worry. Plenty of people will be at the Cowboy Carter tour, including myself.
Kelly Keegs
I know. Yeah.
Fran
I think it's just in comparison to everybody. I don't know what it is, but maybe it's just because I think it's because the Eras tour was so massive and so unique and like, can never be replicated that everyone's comparing. Everyone's gonna compare it to that.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
It's like, oh, well, it's not. There's tour.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, it's not.
Fran
The numbers are the Error store. I'm like, right, well, what is. It's record breaking is the number one.
Kelly Keegs
It's like, yeah, it's crazy. Yeah.
Fran

Before we jump into some topics, what's going on in in your life, my dear?
Kelly Keegs
Oh my God. What a sharp left.
Fran
Yeah, I know. Sharp left.
Kelly Keegs
No. So good. Two kids.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Still doing what I love to do.
Fran
They're so cute.
Kelly Keegs
Like they really are so cute.
Fran
Like Lenny boys has such a little munchkin face. I can't take.
Kelly Keegs
He's literally like the pictures emoji. I know. He's so cute and he doesn't look anything like Noah. And it just brings me, you know, I. Every time I'm with him, I'm like, it was so different when Noah was born. You know, it was 2020.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly Keegs
Like Noah was on my boob when I was talking about Hilaria. You know, Noah was, you know, crawling when Armie Hammer happened.
Fran
Like, you guys were all stuck.
Kelly Keegs
Everything happened together. It was like this beautiful, crazy, scary time of COVID And that's when he was born. So just so different. Like 2025 versus 2020, right? 2020.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
So. But I love it. There's not really nothing better than like doing what you love and then coming back to your home to them, you.
Fran
Know, that's so nice. Was. Did you feel a big change from 1 to 2?
Kelly Keegs
I. I know everyone says it's, like, crazy. It wasn't as crazy to me. You know, Also, with Noah, I didn't have any help. I was solo. Like, just literally every day was a day. And now it's different. Like, I'm working way more. So I do have help. So it's even. I'm almost like, I should be. You know what I mean? Like, I. I wish I could be home more and with him all day, but sometimes you have to do other stuff. So it's not. Doesn't feel. It feels crazy. When you, like, travel, but then you have one on one. I can't imagine, like, going up to three, and then each parent's on one, and then you have another one. Like, what do you do with that one? You know what I mean?
Fran
So one of you.
Kelly Keegs
And then Rihanna had to go get pregnant again.
Fran
I know.
Kelly Keegs
Like, Rihanna, damn. You're putting on the pressure.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
You know, But I even said to myself, and this is how sick and fucking twisted I am and like, that my life is celebrities and pop culture, that I was like, if Rihanna has a girl, like, maybe I'll.
Fran
Maybe. Maybe I'll. Maybe I'll try again to have a girl.
Kelly Keegs
Because everyone that has two boys has a third boy. Like, it's an 89 of the people. This is not scientific. Yeah, but it really is. So I'm like, oh, my God. She probably wanted a girl. Like, yeah, it's gonna be a boy. Sorry, Rihanna.
Fran
Do you think the. The blue outfit was telling or not?
Kelly Keegs
People said she did pink for the boy, so maybe blue for the girl.
Fran
True.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. Because riot is a boy.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
So I hope for her that it's a girl.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Because it's nice. Not because I'm like, you know, but it's just like, two boys is crazy. And you kind of want to feel that, like, having a little. You kind of vibe. But I wonder. So I'm almost like, if ran as another boy, then I know, like, it can't be done, you know? But if she has a girl, then I'll consider.
Fran
I'll think about it then.
Kelly Keegs
Just, you know, you guys.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. I don't think about you. Like, she did it.
Ariana Maddox
Are you.
Fran
Do you, like, feel yourself, though, as a. A boy mom?
Kelly Keegs
No.
Fran
No.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, like, hashtag boy mom.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Not really. Because I'm not like, you know, right. Like, I'm. I'm like, hashtag Noah, like, does fit checks with me, and he already knows Suppose, like, the foot before that, I saw him pose for a picture, and he literally did.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Like, you know how we never take pictures, like, legs apart?
Fran
No, no, no.
Kelly Keegs
There's always a foot hip. He fucking does that. So I'm creating a monster. And so it's like, hashtag Boymond. But, like, he's in my world, you know.
Fran
Yep, yep, yep.
Kelly Keegs
He's so cute. He'll be like, where are you going? Your podcast. Like, I'm like, yeah. And the only person that I interviewed that he knows because. And this is bad advice that he ever even knows what Deadpool is.
Fran
Right, right, right.
Kelly Keegs
Literally for. But he knows what Deadpool is. So I showed him when Ryan Reynolds was on, and he was so excited.
Fran
That's.
Kelly Keegs
And I made it. Ryan recorded a. A thing for him.
Fran
Oh, that's so sweet.
Kelly Keegs
I know. This was pre. All of you hating Ryan. Okay.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
It was like a day before.
Fran
I remember it was.
Kelly Keegs
I remember.
Fran
I, like, listened, and I was like, that was so great. And then it just went.
Kelly Keegs
I know. Anyway. But he was so sweet, so nice, and he did the whole thing, and he is so nice.
Fran
Yes. So we think.
Kelly Keegs
So we think and so we've. I've experienced.
Fran
Exactly. But.
Kelly Keegs
But that was exciting for him. And then I lied. Like, I bought a little. I bought a Deadpool mask because I'm an idiot for the interview. Because I was like, well, do something with that.
Fran
Yeah, I'll do something.
Kelly Keegs
I did something. I ended up doing something dumb. But I brought it home to know and I made up. This is when the line starts that, like, he gifted it to him. So, like, to this day, that's what he thinks. Right? To you. Yeah.
Fran
Oh, but that's such a.
Kelly Keegs
That's like a white lie. Yeah, yeah.
Fran
That's just something like, that's going to make him so happy. And who's going to. Yeah, who's going to be like, that's not true.
Kelly Keegs
Right.
Fran
You know?
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, no, but it's really cute. It's really cute when they start, like, talking. Tay was like, why is your name Amanda Hirsch? Like, he just, like, asks the funniest questions. He's like, how'd you choose that?
Fran
Like, it only be. It only backfire if. Oh, my God. What's the storyline in? Is it New Girl? I think it's in New Girl that, like, some famous person would write Nick a letter like, every year.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Oh, was it Michael Jordan?
Fran
I don't know who.
Kelly Keegs
I forget who it was not to Nick.
Fran
I forgot.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, yeah, to Nick. Or to Schmidt. No, to Schmidt.
Fran
Right.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. Nick was writing it.
Fran
Yes. And then they were like, by the way, his parents did it. Then it was like, it's just a facade that they had to keep up forever.
Kelly Keegs
By the way, you had Max on. Right. One point. I remember. Didn't you have Max Greenfield? So I had Jake Johnson. Yes. I have to say, like, that was one of my people were like, what should I listen to? That's, like, fun, you know?
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kelly Keegs
That, like, he's Jake Johnson.
Fran
And his podcast is great, too.
Kelly Keegs
He's so funny. I just. And they're them. Because I asked him on my show, I was like, are you the most Nick out of. He was like, no, Max is the most Schmidt.
Fran
Which is so interesting.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
Because he doesn't really give that vibe. Feel that way.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. But apparently is.
Fran
Yeah. And I do. I feel like when I watch him in new stuff, I still just see.
Kelly Keegs
Well, he was like, in Kate Hudson, nobody wants us.
Fran
No. Oh, no, no. Close.
Kelly Keegs
No. Pop culture. You guys tune in. Queens of pop culture over here, you.
Fran
Know, in the court. Full court, back court.
Kelly Keegs
Running point. Running point.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
By the way, I love that. And I feel like it did get too Gabe. Nobody wants his vibes. Well, I said that maybe because he's Jewish, but it was two shows that just, like new comedies that were so good. You know what I mean? They were just, like, easy to watch. Fun, Fun.
Fran
And that was like, such a Mindy Kaling style show.
Kelly Keegs
She does it, so.
Fran
She does. She does. But yeah, watching him with Kate Hudson.
Kelly Keegs
I was still like, what are you doing here?
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Even though he knows that he has to, like, turn it. Turn it down.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely. Definitely. But the podcast has been. Your podcast has been so great. Your. The guests have been amazing.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
Walton Goggins.
Kelly Keegs
Walton.
Fran
Love him.
Kelly Keegs
Love him. I'm not turning. But, like, I. When I had him, the day I had him, I was so. He was. It was like the prep. Like, he blew up a day.
Fran
He was blown out of, like, another sense, though, wherever you're saying, like, you had him on. And then, like, the next day, it was like, oh, him and Amy would hate.
Kelly Keegs
First of all, everyone's like, why didn't you ask him about Ame? And I was like, first of all, like, that hadn't happened yet.
Fran
That didn't happen yet. No one was talking about it.
Kelly Keegs
Second of all, he would have walked out on me. Fucking. He did that in the London.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
The times.
Fran
He would have been like, that's it. Wrap it up.
Kelly Keegs
Isn't that crazy? And, like, that's the thing with these people. It's like they have so many people around them. And how do they think that was a good idea? But I love that journalists are so, like, you know, journalists, I've really learned, like, don't give a. Yeah. You know, it's not like us, where we give a. Because we want to, like, have good relationships, wanting to come back, whatever.
Fran
Like, we. I mean, we're not. Like, we don't have the journalistic integrity that they.
Kelly Keegs
Right.
Fran
Fight for them. It's like, I must ask for the truth.
Kelly Keegs
Right. I don't fucking care. No, I do care.
Fran
But sometimes we do. But then also sometimes it's like they're like, by the way, this publicist reps X, Y and Z, and you're like, ooh, okay, so we want them to like us.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, yeah, we want them to like us. But also, you also understand that, like, whole hate that question. You know what I mean? And you want them to feel good, probably.
Fran
And it is just kind of a respect thing. Like, when they go out of their way to be like, hey, please don't ask about this.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, but what's crazy about journalists? So there were two things I saw recently. One was Walton Goggins, and then he walked out. And second, I saw this Leighton Meester interview in, like, the LA Times. And, like, they asked her about Blake Lively, even though they fudgeing, knew she wouldn't talk about Blake Lively. And they included in it because, like, imagine. Okay, let's say I asked and they didn't answer. Yeah, like, I might take it out. If there's, like, nothing there but, like, in. Because journalists have integrity, then they will put in, like, we asked about Blake Lively and she refused to acknowledge it. You know, they don't give.
Fran
She said, next question.
Kelly Keegs
And she. Yeah, and then they'll. Layton will still, like, post the pictures from the LA Times, but they'll. They'll ask that question that they hate. You know, like, Ryan Reynolds is on the street. Somebody's screaming at him, like, why did Travis Kelce unfollow you? Like, what do they think he's gonna do? Even though. Dying to know.
Fran
I know.
Kelly Keegs
Dying to know. And also, what are with these unfollows?
Fran
I just am like, did he follow him in the first place?
Kelly Keegs
Right. That's the question. But don't you think that if people are saying that he did, then he did?
Fran
I don't know. I think half the shit I'm like, who's following this to even know, because there's. There's definitely been a couple. Is this.
Kelly Keegs
Well, Charles Kelce isn't even following Taylor Swift.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
They don't follow each other.
Fran
Right. You know, it feels like such a non story. And anytime there's something that actually does get under Travis's skin a little bit, I do think they talk about on New Heights.
Kelly Keegs
They do.
Fran
Like anytime there's like a really random Internet story or something, they'll laugh and be like, yeah, what the.
Kelly Keegs
Was that too touchy? You know, like the Blake Ryan stuff.
Fran
Oh, no, that. Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
But they can't talk about like the Unfollowed because it has to do with the lawsuit. And then it's like. Yeah, it's like the whole thing, you know, kind of crazy, but so Walton obsessed. He's so down. He did the tick tock, which like, that's like, okay, we're dancing like so cute. Paige. The Sorbo's voice got in there because we did like the sunglasses. He has those and he's just like, you want to listen to him, like just talk all the time.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
But then, yeah, the next day there was the unfollow. Then he posted the SNL thing. Then we saw his dick in the fucking photo shoot that a lot of gays loved. Like, for me, I was like, is it too much Goggins, right? A little bit.
Fran
Well, let me tell you, if you watch Righteous Gemstones, I don't know what he. I don't know if he wears a prosthetic or what, but he was nude like this whole beginning of the season. So full blown, like water skiing naked.
Kelly Keegs
Do you think? I mean, prosthetics are everywhere right now.
Fran
I don't know if you could wear one while you're filming a Does give.
Kelly Keegs
BD with that level of confidence, for sure. With that level of confidence. You know what I mean? Absolutely gives it and he's having a moment. I think it's like so exciting for somebody who's 50, probably something to have worked so consistently. He's had his fans, he's had the cult following at the Goggins girlies. But the White Lotus fame is a different level.
Fran
Definitely.
Kelly Keegs
That he's not used to. Probably.
Fran
Yeah, definitely.
Kelly Keegs
But something for sure happened there.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
And also you following each other back.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
That was also weird advice. Just follow each other back and no one will know.
Fran
Like. Right. It's just like.
Kelly Keegs
It's so weird.
Fran
Yeah. Even like what, what she said at the Met on the Met carpet.
Kelly Keegs
What did she say?
Fran
It was just very sugar cookie like we're, you know, respect and like we're all good. Yeah, she didn't say like we're all good. It was just like a general blanket statement about him. And then that was, uh huh. So.
Kelly Keegs
Okay.
Fran
And then there was the follow back. The refollow.
Kelly Keegs
The refollow. I wonder if they maybe it's just.
Fran
Like, I'm fucking done dealing with this. I'll just fucking follow him back. Yeah, I'll follow him and I'll mute him.
Kelly Keegs
I mean, but he followed her. I mean, it's just, it is a little weird. And then you wonder, like, and then everyone goes to like guessing that something happened and blah, blah, blah and blah, blah, blah. Which, like, listen. Where there's smoke.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
You know, there has to be.
Fran
There has to be something. For sure.
Kelly Keegs
There has to be something.
Fran
The last thing I want to ask him before we get into topics. I feel like your community has grown so much and it's so fun watching and you have really, like, stayed the same in the content that you share.
Kelly Keegs
Thank you.
Fran
Which I love. But I'm curious now, with such a giant audience, is it harder to do that? Like, do you feel like sometimes there's more blowback when you give your honest opinion on things?
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. And honestly, like, I have to say it's such a, you know, of course I'm aware that, like, it's not the same when you have less people and less eyes, you can say fucking anything, which go for it. If you have no eyes on you, just do it. It's so fun. Yep. So I used to be a little bit more savage, you know, But I think it's also, I used to be more savage, maybe because there were less people, but also because I was less aware. Like I was so naive and thinking like, they'll never see this. But not only they'll never see this to protect myself, they'll never see this. So this can never hurt their feelings. Whereas I think now, I think like, there's sort of a quick filter for me of is this like hurtful or is this okay? Joan Rivers, you know what I mean? Which I really feel like we should bring back that you're able to say, like, that's what was fun about red carpets. Like being able to say if a look was good, wasn't good. I think that that should still be okay. Like an outfit is an outfit. It's not you, it's not your personality, it's not your face, it's not your. So I think it's like, I'm still okay. With that. And I'm still okay with also saying you don't have to like everybody. And I feel like I'm obsessed with so many people that I want to make it normalize. Not. But then you hate one person. It's like she hates women. It's like, no, no. I literally, like, bow down. Just talk about how hot everybody is and great and talented, but you're allowed to be like, oh, like, Sydney Sweeney was annoying in that press tour.
Fran
Right.
Kelly Keegs
You know, and could that mean Sweeney on the pod? Maybe. But I think it is a risk you have to take, because if not, then, like, you know, and it's boring. Then it's boring.
Fran
Yeah. It's not authentic. No. But you don't feel like you're getting the real opinion, which is what people.
Kelly Keegs
Which is what people want.
Fran
That's why they follow and all that.
Kelly Keegs
But I feel like it's in. It's in, like, good fun, you know? It's like, karma will always be Kalma to me, and if she hates it, then she fucking hates it, you know? But, but, but with the Meghan Markle thing, you know, with the. With the letter, knocked myself out. That's one of the fucking weirdest things, because that's something where who would think the fucking duchess would ever see it?
Fran
Right, Right, right. You're like, who watched this and sent this to me?
Kelly Keegs
Right? And. And how did she then, like, take it this way instead of this way? Like, thank fucking God. Because I'd be petrified. I didn't, by the way, when that came out, I didn't even go rewatch it because I was gonna die at myself, you know? You know, I, I, I was like, wait, I think I said I was scared. And then I knew where the clip was on my Instagram, and I didn't watch it because I knew I would hate myself and I would just be like, oh, my God, I can't believe she watched it. I can't believe she watched it. But that was crazy. So, like, yeah, things roll, roll around, get to everybody. So you have to kind of have a backbone. That's why I'm surprised with celebrities and the unfollowing. Like, you know, people are gonna see it, Right?
Fran
I know.
Kelly Keegs
It's so, like, it's either planned or it's not. So that's how I think, like, go into the world knowing, like, this could get to whoever's talking about. And how are you okay with that?
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
And it's a quick filter of yes or no.
Fran
And I don't know if Something happens with Instagram from time and time again. Like, last night I saw people were like, oh, my God, Tish Cyrus unfollowed Miley. And Billy Ray is commenting on Miley's stuff. Like, maybe, like, she's reconnecting with Billy and she's out with Tish and.
Kelly Keegs
Probably true, though.
Fran
I know. But then I little. I. I'm just scrolling Instagram and I see that she posted a podcast clip from her podcast, and someone commented, why'd you stop following Miley? And she wrote back to them. Have no idea how that happened, but it's fixed now.
Kelly Keegs
I.
Fran
So it's like, what?
Kelly Keegs
Fran, I have a question. Have you ever had that glitch?
Fran
No.
Kelly Keegs
Okay.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
I just don't know. No, like, these. Everyone's Justin Bieber glitches every day.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Every day is less than.
Fran
He's glitching.
Kelly Keegs
For sure. He is glitching. I mean. No, but it's such a. Such so on point. Yeah, but, like, every. All these glitches.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Have never glitched.
Fran
Right?
Kelly Keegs
Like, have never glitched. Like, have glitched. Instagram didn't work and it came back, but it didn't, like, unfollow one person who happens to be my wife. Or happens. But I have to say, like, with family drama, it makes me feel so ick to even talk about. Because. But then you're like, but this is so public, and there's a source says and whatever the. But like, with the Beckhams right now, too.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, talk about that.
Kelly Keegs
They're so sweet.
Fran
Let's talk about that.
Kelly Keegs
Let's jump into the transition.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Okay.
Fran
Love it. Seamless. Thank you. We're getting into the topics. Yeah, Getting into the topics.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
But, yeah, we. We got. We got Beckham's. I'm gonna run through them quick. Beckham's, Kylie and Timothy on the red carpet. Bravo's got some new shows that they just announced. Dochi kind of joked about her Met Gala viral video. And Page Six says Prince Harry is blackballed from the royal family because they don't trust him or Megan, which I feel like is fairly repetitive from what we're gonna say. Like.
Kelly Keegs
Like, didn't know that.
Fran
Right. I don't. It's. I feel like they just continue to want to make. We'll talk about stories about it. They don't make it easy to buy concert tickets these days. You gotta sign up for the presale, get in the queue, and the time you get through, the best seats are gone. Going to A concert should be about the show itself, not waiting in a virtual line. Lucky for me, I always use Game Time, the official ticketing partner of Barstool Sports. Game Time makes getting tickets faster and easier. Prices on the app actually go down the closer it gets to showtime. I've been looking at so many shows. We got Gracie Abrams, Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga, Beyonce. So many amazing concerts this summer.

It's like, Brooklyn and Nicola, they didn't go to all the 50th birthday parties for David. The rumor was that Brooklyn and Romeo were on the outs because they didn't like Romeo's new girlfriend. But then there were other sources being like, that's ridiculous. They're fine. But regardless, they were not at the birthday.
Kelly Keegs
It was a big birthday.
Fran
A big one.
Kelly Keegs
And he wasn't at the fishing trip.
Fran
Yeah. And there was parties, multiple locations. Could have been in Miami, could have been in London, you know, so.
Kelly Keegs
And the fishing trip.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
The all sons.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
All sons but one.
Fran
All sons but one.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
So I don't know. It's. It's.
Kelly Keegs
And everyone's been. Nicola. Because that's.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Like to do.
Fran
It's always like the same.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. And it's so easy to buy into. You're like, what else could it be? It's probably her, you know, but it's like, is it right?
Fran
You know, because that's how they felt when. When their wedding was happening and it was like, oh, Nicola and Victoria, they don't get along. They don't get along. And then it seemed like maybe things were mended. But I don't know. It feels kind of bizarre to blame it on Romeo and his girlfriend.
Kelly Keegs
Why would he carry so in love with Nicola? Why would he care if Romeo is dating somebody that. That he used to date?
Fran
Unless people claim that they didn't actually date. It was like that they were friends. There was apparently a deleted comment from Cruz that. That he had posted something and there was a comment within it that was like, is it weird like Brooklyn or is it weird like, you know, Realm is dating Brooklyn's ex or whatever. And he wrote back, they never dated. And then whatever. Deleted it. Like, the whole thing. Like. But yeah, everyone's like, oh, in 2016, here's this picture of Brooklyn and Kim hanging out once upon a time.
Kelly Keegs
That feels so weird to escalate to, like, not going.
Fran
Yeah. Especially that long ago.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
If we're talking about when 2016, 2017. Like, Brooklyn was so young. They were also like.
Kelly Keegs
And then how does that reflect on Nicola? Like, why is she like, you can't talk to your brother because. So it's just weird. But at the end of the day, I'm. I am a. When. Where there's smoke, there's fire. And, like, they're busy, but they're not that busy to not be at David's.
Fran
It's your father's 50th birthday, you know.
Kelly Keegs
50Th. He didn't go to the fishing. It's. And usually they do it like, we miss you so much at Brooklyn. At Nicola. Like, and there was maybe a, like, one frame of maybe, like, and Brooklyn wasn't there. But I feel like he did that after people were spinning.
Fran
Victoria loves a caption that's like, love spending time with friends and family.
Kelly Keegs
She kills me and, like, tags them all.
Fran
Harper 7.
Kelly Keegs
Harper 7. Like, I went through such a phase of why Wasn't I born Harper7? You know what I mean? Like, how good is that life?
Fran
I know, right?
Kelly Keegs
Amazing.
Fran
I know.
Kelly Keegs
Amazing. Oh, my God. And I asked my Brooklyn. Brooklyn was on my podcast. And I asked him why Harper 7? I don't think he knew, which was so funny.
Fran
So funny.
Kelly Keegs
I know.
Fran
It's like, I don't know. That's.
Kelly Keegs
And people were, I think, wrote about it somewhere, like. And people knew. But, like, he wasn't so sure.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
No, it's a. Her last one with all the kids at Creating special memories with family and friends. We love you all at Romeo Cruise. Harper7.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, hashtag. Because she's not on Instagram yet.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
But I love it. She doesn't have to think of a caption. She's not trying to be witty. You know what I mean? She's just saying what it is.
Fran
So it's just like. It's all these family photos that she's been posting and just. They're not.
Kelly Keegs
They're not.
Fran
They're nowhere to be seen. So.
Kelly Keegs
But does she seem to you like a feud with my son type of mom? Like, you know, she really doesn't. Yeah.
Fran
Like, and Every story, every quo, whatever quote, source is like, this tears Victoria apart when. When there's fighting like this. And she just loves her boys and the whole thing. So I mean, I don't know if that's just like Victoria's assistance put this out there, but it doesn't feel. It feels very off brand for them.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. To be fighting.
Fran
To be fighting like that. Because they always seem so close. So I don't know. That's why it is so easy to just automatically be like, well, it must be Nicholas.
Kelly Keegs
Right. Because they're right. Because their family is like, everything was fine before. Right. And they're so young. You forget they're so young. Literally a baby so young.
Fran
And such an interesting dynamic with all those boys. Now like, Romeo's got this new girlfriend that whatever, they're like, ooh, what's her past? Because she was friends with this kid and this other famous person's kid and they were all hanging out together. Maybe Madonna said like, whatever in London. And then Cruz's girlfriend is like 10 years older than him.
Kelly Keegs
Which one is the one?
Fran
Nine and he's 20.
Kelly Keegs
Which one is the one that looks just like Victoria Cruz or Romeo Cru.
Fran
Romeo.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, Romeo probably Cruise looks just like.
Fran
Justin Bieber, I think.
Kelly Keegs
Right?
Fran
I mean, I kind of think they both look like Justin Bieber, but Cruise to me looks much more like him. You know, I see it in Romeo more.
Kelly Keegs
Show me Romeo.
Fran
Romeo is far. Romeo is in the middle. Cruz is at the end.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, Cruz has some swag.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Romeo is Victoria. Don't you see?
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I see for sure.
Kelly Keegs
Look at her for seven and she ain't seven anymore.
Fran
No, it's not really. But that's where I'm like, that's where. When I see there should have been.
Kelly Keegs
A Miss you, Brooklyn, Beckham and Nicola.
Fran
Yeah, right.
Kelly Keegs
That's what should be in that caption. So you know, we know.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Something's going on, guys.
Fran
Something's definitely going.
Kelly Keegs
I know.
Fran
Bravo just announced, kind of out of the blue, like, it was like, hey, here's this tweet and here's four new shows. So we're getting Real Houses of Rhode Island.
Kelly Keegs
Okay.
Fran
We're getting the Valley Persian style, which is picking up with the cast from Shahs.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
We're getting Wife Swap, Housewives edition and Gorga. No, no, no, there was one more shoot. Now I'm forgetting what it was the last one.
Kelly Keegs
The Gen X Ladies of London. Oh, okay, now the Gen X with Gia.
Fran
Yes, that's all right. Oh, that's been announced that one premieres, like, soon.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, wow.
Fran
And Ladies of London, which people are really excited about. Really excited about, because that had such a, like, cult following when it was out. And then it ended, and people were so sad about it.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
And there was, like, no update. It was like, oh, why? Whatever. And now they're. They're bringing it back, and it seems like they're bringing it back kind of in a houses of Dubai type way. They. They said, you know, London socialites, but also international people that live in London. No, I don't think so.
Kelly Keegs
Okay, so not like the Caroline.
Fran
I don't. I mean, unless Caroline Stanberry wants to go back to London and leave Dubai.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, right.
Fran
You know, I don't. I don't know how.
Kelly Keegs
What are you gonna watch out of all these or all of them?
Fran
I'm most intrigued, I think, by a wife. Like a housewives wife swap. And it's funny because I think initially when you read the title, it seemed like housewives are switching families. But I think it's like, oh, you're gonna watch Melissa Gorga go live with a family, like a normal family in Texas, and the mom from that family is gonna go live.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, okay. So not like Melissa and, like, Heather Dubrow.
Fran
Yeah, I don't know for sure. That's just the way I read it.
Kelly Keegs
That sounds light, though.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
Like, easy, fun.
Kelly Keegs
Easy fun. I might do Rhode island just because.
Fran
I think I'll do Rhode island too.
Kelly Keegs
I'm so intrigued because I want to start with something. I like starting with something, you know, from the beginning. Yeah. Because if you're not caught up on all the Bravo housewives, like, go start at season one. It's so hard.
Fran
It is hard. I ever did. It was because of COVID Like, that was my opening because before that, I didn't watch them.
Kelly Keegs
And now you're on everyone. You know, all of them.
Fran
I watch because I started Covid, so I went back and I watched Jersey, New York, Beverly Hills. So I went into those. And then since then, you know, Salt Lake City, Miami, Dubai, like, they all started.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, gotcha.
Fran
So I was like, I'll watch these too.
Kelly Keegs
Okay.
Fran
Yeah. New Jersey has always been a favorite. I love Beverly Hills. And as far as the new ones, I love Miami.
Kelly Keegs
Really?
Fran
I really love Miami. They're really funny on Miami, huh?
Kelly Keegs
Okay, I'm gonna start Rhode Island.
Fran
Yeah. Rhode island is gonna be interesting because I want to know where, like, where are they all living? Is this Newport? Is this, like, are we talking Newport? Old money, New England, beautiful, you know, cliffside houses and like that. Or.
Kelly Keegs
Well, I don't know, Rhode Island?
Fran
Well, yeah. You know, Newport has an insane amount of old school New York history of, like, that. That luxurious, like, early 1900s feel when you go do, like, the mansion tours and everything. And I was like, oh, maybe Andy Cohen called up his buddy Anderson Cooper, who is a van, you know, is a Vanderbilt. And the Vanderbilts laid a lot of claim up there in Newport. And they were like, what's the. You know, what's the. What's like. What's like the family members of those lineages doing now? Are they involved at all? I don't know. Or is it just gonna be, like, totally random people that just live in Rhode Island? I don't know.
Kelly Keegs
Casting. Casting call.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
I wonder.
Fran
I know I never watched Shaws, so.
Kelly Keegs
Right.
Fran
Not like I don't have too much interest in it, but I know people, like, are so obsessed.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
So I think they're going to make the Valley version of a lot of places.
Kelly Keegs
Wow. That just shows you the fucking Valley.
Fran
Yeah, Well, I think the Val. I think they just shot past what.
Kelly Keegs
A lot of people thought they were amazing. Amazing how great, like, how this television is the quickest, like, 40 minutes of my life or whatever, you know?
Fran
Remember when they announced the show and everyone was like, boo. Boring married families with kids in the Valley. Yeah, right.
Kelly Keegs
I know, but, like, all these couples.
Fran
Hate each other getting divorced. Like, affairs.
Kelly Keegs
No, but we knew. So, like, we were like, yuck. No. Ew. Only Vanderpump rules. And then it was like, two couples that started filming are already divorced. And you're like, I'm tuning in. Yeah, thank you.
Fran
And I think all the Vanderpump people that are not doing other things, like, want to be on the Valley, they're all in the after show. It's crazy. They're all in the after show. You watch the after show. It's Sheena, Brock, Schwartz, Lala are all in it. Talking about the Valley.
Kelly Keegs
Like, no, not in a. In a. Like, yeah, they're getting paid paycheck.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Fucking show up to that. Yeah. Sometimes you watch the after show and you're like, why is Jax there for, like, the ending of, like.
Fran
I know, right? Like, why am I listening to Schwartz talk about Jax's first of all cocaine problem? Which, I mean, I guess Schwartz could probably talk about it the most.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. I think Sandoval said on mine, like, I don't do coke. And I was like, okay, okay, okay.
Fran
Yeah. Meanwhile, Schwartz, I feel like it was a just stress off his back. That on camera, Schwartz could be like, man, you were doing so much blow. Right? It's like, now we can finally.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, we can talk about.
Fran
We can in the room and. No, Schwartz has been, like, so cute on everything he's been on recently that I'm like, oh, poor guy. My summer house. He's like, hold on to these friendships. They're going to be. We don't have them anymore.
Kelly Keegs
Like, the weird uncle, though, a little bit.
Fran
Oh, 100.
Kelly Keegs
Like, the girls were like, why are you in our room? Like, we didn't brush our teeth yet. You know, that was the vibe.
Fran
I felt it when he was walking around the party and introducing himself to, like, the partygoers, being like, hey, I'm top shore.
Kelly Keegs
He's so cute, though, but is 45. So, like, you know, no summer house is.
Fran
But I'm. That's why I think, like, I think the Valley, they'll do, like, more Valley New York.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
Because the Valley. But yeah, that's that kind of vibe.
Kelly Keegs
Right?
Fran
Because it's like, are you going to keep watching Lindsay? But yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kelly Keegs
You're going to care about the random. Random, sir?
Fran
Yeah. Because you know what? I didn't think I was going to care. And it might take me a little bit to get into it, and not enough people talk about it now, but, like, the first season of Southern hospitality, you watch it, I was like, ugh. Like, I watched, like, the first five episodes and was like, I don't care about this. And then I just heard some rumblings about this last season about how it was so good and, like, these people are nuts. And I tuned back in and I was like, oh, I'm locked in.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, you're locked in.
Fran
They are nuts. It is crazy because they're doing that early vanderpump vibe of, like, this couple cheating, rumors. People are getting set up, new couples are being formed. It takes a couple seasons, I think, with the new.
Kelly Keegs
Well, I want to ask you, I saw you had Jesse on. Do you think he.
Fran
Oh, Jesse Solomon. Yes.
Kelly Keegs
Do you think you redeemed yourself? He redeemed himself on your pod. Because by the clips, it looked like, no. He just smiled.
Fran
I would say no.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
There was certain moments.
Kelly Keegs
Did you try to help him get there?
Fran
Yeah, we did. We did.
Kelly Keegs
We really, really did.
Fran
And it's. I like Jesse. Like, I. When I see him, like, he's nice and we can have a good conversation. I think he's a nice guy.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
I think he's like, just not Ready, like, tripped and fell into the deep end. And it was, like, too much. And now the way he's handling it is not great.
Kelly Keegs
What do you think?
Fran
But he, like, tried to, like, he tried to. He sat in the seat and was, like, Tried to talk to us about the club night when he was, like, totally jealous of Lexi flirting with Wes. And he looked at me and Rhea and he was like, oh, my God. No. Like, I loved it. And we were like that.
Kelly Keegs
I know you saw that. Yeah, I saw that.
Fran
We're like, we watched it. Yeah, we saw you. We saw how you reacted. No, I didn't.
Kelly Keegs
But then his explanation of no, I didn't was, I did that on purpose so that I could look better. And I'm like, in what chick's world would you think we would be like, oh, so you did it so great.
Fran
And we just, like, moved. Rhea and I, like, moved on. We were like, okay, like, clearly, we're not gonna get. Like, when that happens, it's like, I'm not gonna argue with you about it.
Kelly Keegs
Now I feel like, again, going back to, like, me having sympathy is just those moments of first season, he felt like he was vibing.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Singing career.
Fran
Yeah. 100%, everyone, what would Jesse Solomon do?
Kelly Keegs
And then the crash is so hard to watch. And it happens so much. Like, so much it happens. So, I mean, Hannah Burner is an amazing example that you can then come back and sky rocket up. But she had the same thing. I remember she had an amazing season. And it was like, you had such an amazing season. You had. And everyone's like, compliments you on that. Like, you came in, you know, and then it's like, but what's gonna come next? You know what I mean? And sometimes it could be other people kind of make it happen to you, but in his case, he made it happen to himself. But. But I do have. Didn't you feel like for a moment, like, than when he thought he could confide in the girls. And I think it was before you recorded before this happened. But there was a moment where I was like, okay, I'm. So we get it's a reality show. And everyone's like, did you know that? She said, but I feel like the girls have a camaraderie that can't be broken, and they would never tell other shit about each other. But he's not there yet, right?
Fran
I think they thought he was one of the girls.
Kelly Keegs
He was there.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
He's like, but you're my friends. And they're like, you Said it. We said it. Like Paige said it's his face. Like you said it. What did you think was going to happen as like.
Fran
But it's not fudgeing with him at all.
Kelly Keegs
Sierra is not fudgeing with. No, no. But they're good now.
Fran
Now. But even still on the show. It is not. It is not good even from them talking in this. Did you see? Oh my God.
Kelly Keegs
Did you see how dumb when he told her I said that for you to make you feel.
Fran
No, no, no, no. Not crazy.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
All not good. She was just like she's. I love Sarah. Because you know, he's talking to her and she's like look, it's fine. I'm over it. I don't really with you right now. I don't really with her right now. It's like that. It is what it is.
Kelly Keegs
Don't you love Sierra's confidence trajectory of like I like she came in as. Let me remind you guys, Luke's like weird maybe hookup, maybe not.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly Keegs
Came in really in this weird situation because like it looked like she hates Luke. Like when I actually met her in real life, like one of the first things I asked was like how much like you hated Luke. Like you wanna. You hated him. Like what was hookupy vibes there like? Yeah, it looked like she hated him. And then watching her like you know, be part of the cast. Gain confidence. Gain confidence and become like okay, queen of the house. Like I don't with you. Goodbye. Like I love it. I know she, you know, has. She has like the confidence but then she has those like vulnerable moments where she's gets weak for a guy just like so many of us have.
Fran
Exactly.
Kelly Keegs
But what's Wes doing right now? Let me show you guys what Wes doing right now. He's just like.
Fran
I know, I know.
Kelly Keegs
Chillin.
Fran
And everyone's like chillin. But people are either happy with what he's doing or they're like, okay, now you're not doing anything at all. You're just.
Kelly Keegs
Right.
Fran
But.
Kelly Keegs
But the thing is he's not doing anything. And he's also saying like, like Karen's talking about. Because we're gonna hear him. Don't you understand A little bit?
Fran
Sure.
Kelly Keegs
But yeah, they don't. I mean reality TV is hard. Like he's terrified so he's not going to talk about it. But then like Jesse will bring it up. So he says like I'm not talking about it because I'm terrified. So it's kind of like. Yeah, I know, but people. But he does have swag, like. And you don't think. So you hate him from time to time.
Fran
No, I don't hate him. I don't.
Kelly Keegs
He's like a good time.
Fran
I don't hate him. I've never really hung out with him or even really talk to me.
Kelly Keegs
On the show. No, me neither.
Fran
So.
Kelly Keegs
Neither. Yeah, yeah, on the show.
Fran
No, on the show. Look, Ri and I have both said watching him this season, we're like, look, he's had some funny moments.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
We're laughing at the way, you know, him dancing with that candlestick at the party.
Kelly Keegs
Like, I'm laughing so funny.
Fran
I'm laughing so funny. There's some of the jokes he's making. Yeah, I'm laughing. Yeah, it's. It's.
Kelly Keegs
It is definitely a guy like, you look at Sierra.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
And you're.
Fran
We had the funniest moment. We were in the studio the other day and he was here doing. I'm not quite sure what he was doing or whatever, but he walked by the door, the door was open, and he popped his head and was like, hey, ladies, like, you getting ready to record? And we're like, yeah, yeah. But like, we've never met him. And like, it was just like he. There was.
Kelly Keegs
He's so, you know, it was.
Fran
But we were cracking up because then he was just like, okay, bye. Like, he didn't even walk into the door. He just, like, was outside the door. I kept going. But no, no, I actually. No, I have laughed at him a lot this season. Lexi said recently that Jesse was, like, telling her a lot of tea behind the scenes and like, kind of talking shit. And the biggest thing was that he said that, oh, like, Wes got so famous for fucking over Ciara.
Kelly Keegs
But is that true?
Fran
I don't know.
Kelly Keegs
Like, famous in a bad way.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. But I guess, you know, fame is.
Kelly Keegs
Fame, but Jesse's seeing right now that it's not right. You know what I mean? He posted this TikTok that popped up for me.
Fran
Oh.
Kelly Keegs
And he was like, I'm out of the comment section, guys.
Fran
I know. Is that the one where he was like. A girl just stopped me on the street. She said, you know, keep it up or whatever.
Kelly Keegs
And then all the comments are like, no girl stopped you. Nobody cares. Everybody hates you. And I'm like, but that's when I feel bad.
Fran
No, same. That's why I feel bad. You're like, that's what I feel, bad.
Kelly Keegs
Yes.
Fran
Especially with reality tv.
Kelly Keegs
Especially with reality tv. Because, like, you. Come on, you think it's gonna be great. You do messy. Which is why we watch. Let me remind you, we would have.
Fran
Had no season zero.
Kelly Keegs
We would have. Nothing else happened. So, like, that's your show. Enjoy the tea.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly Keegs
Eat some popcorn. Hug Lexi when you see her and move on. Like, we don't have to take it so personally.
Fran
All of these things, everyone, they really do. It's like, whoa, calm. Like with the reality tv, you have to be.
Kelly Keegs
And Bravo.
Fran
Right.
Kelly Keegs
Like, go on tlc.
Fran
But like, if you vile people. You know, whatever. But. And you can not like people. Yeah, but it's just. It does get to a next.
Kelly Keegs
It gets.
Fran
It does get to a next level. Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet made their red carpet debut at a award show in Italy.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
Which was a choice. I love that. It was like very Kim, you know?
Kelly Keegs
It's very Kim.
Fran
Totally. You know, I was like, you know what? I'm going to. Because she loves Italy. And it's.
Kelly Keegs
No, because do you remember with Pete, she was so calculated about the first carpet. They showed a little bts and it was like she didn't want to do the Met. She was like, that's too obvious. So they did the correspondence dinner.
Fran
Right, right, right, right, right.
Kelly Keegs
So that's so like a page out of Kim's playbook.
Fran
Totally.
Kelly Keegs
Don't do the obvious thing with the Met.
Fran
Literally, like two nights before with the Mets.
Kelly Keegs
Tonight's with the Mets, nights before. Do like the random Italy Oscars or whatever. I do love it. But I. I'm always honest about how I feel. So, like, while I them and could watch every angle of her side boob, I also and like, zoom in on his hands, because those were some hands, you guys. The hands were big.
Fran
There's a good practice pose. You think it was practice 100. They hit that post so hard. Oh, my. It almost looked like Timothy was like, ready. Like, it was like, here we go. Like, they walked. They walked on and they like, gave each other a look. And then it was like perfectly like she did. She did a perfect side turn and his hand went right.
Kelly Keegs
Like, the hand was way bigger than you would think for such a small guy. He also has taller.
Fran
He looked t. You know, he looked like in her outfit. Like he was given tall energy too.
Kelly Keegs
You know what I realized? Okay, so two things. One, I. I said I'd be honest to me was anticlimactic. Just cuz, like, when you draw something out so long, like, you know, you're together, you're in the audience of like a gazillion of things. You're at the hotel like so like we know you're together. Just give it to us. So that's why it's never going to be like the like stop everything when it's. You've been waiting for it for so long. But they looked beautiful. But I also realized what I feel about them. First of all, they're children, both of them. And he's also small. So he's like really like a little boy. And she's so. They're so young.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kelly Keegs
So you kind of see them and they're kind of like high school sweetheart. Like they're literal like cute couple. You forget she has kids.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
You forget she gave birth twice. Like that's a big thing, you know?
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
And I remember I had the fat Jewish on for an episode and he's fucking wild. And we talked about Timothy Chalamet when he started dating Kylie and I remember being like I thought he wouldn't be able to handle dead ass. You know, like that's an ass you need like a man for, you know. And he is kind of a boy. But then I realized like he's probably like.
Fran
Or is it the other way around? Like you know he can.
Kelly Keegs
Right?
Fran
Right. He's so opposite. You think he wouldn't exactly that he actually is so good.
Kelly Keegs
And when you see little Timmy Tim and you seem like getting down and all these things you're like okay. Like you. You're different. The Timberlands. You see the anti Timberlands at the game. Listen. No, I know it can go both ways for me. Like Ontario Timberlands. Don't know about it because never in.
Fran
A million years would five years ago you be like watching frickin Little Women and like seeing Timothee Chalamet and being like, you know what? Him and Kylie Jenner make the perfect pair.
Kelly Keegs
Right. That's what's so. But do you think.
Fran
And on from her side too. It's like so different.
Kelly Keegs
Do you think? I think that it's huge for like huge for Kylie because at the end of the day like he's an Oscar nominated mega actor.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
And like she's on his arm.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
And it's like.
Fran
I know, I agree.
Kelly Keegs
Crazy.
Fran
And I think he's like chill and down to earth and funny and like all these things that I think are good for Kylie.
Kelly Keegs
I know. But what does he think about like her lifestyle? Like how is he with the like.
Fran
I know.
Kelly Keegs
You know, like what is he like?
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
So babe, like cosmic coming out. Like I just like Want to know what the vibes are?
Fran
Like, I get her children's names tattooed.
Kelly Keegs
On him, like, but she looks so good. So good, so good. And they do, like, these, like, montages with her and Travis Scott and that. She looked, like, sadder.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
And then Timothy, she's, like, glowing.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Everything is like, who? Like her at that tennis game with the boobs out. Those boobs.
Fran
She's got them.
Kelly Keegs
She's got.
Fran
She's got them. She's got him. And she flaunts them and. Wait, what?
Kelly Keegs
She loves them if you got it.
Fran
That's what they say.
Kelly Keegs
So she really looks so good and happy, and they just look like that young, cute couple. You're like, that. You're like.
Fran
You watch them, like, smile up at each other and you're like, oh, but.
Kelly Keegs
Do you think it end game?
Fran
I, I, I don't know.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
I don't know. This, like, there's. And it comes into the age thing. They're so. It's still so young, you know? Maybe not, but then it's like, I get different feelings about it because, like, Tom Holland and Zendaya, from the beginning, I was like, yes. Like, if they break up, I'll die. I'll be so sad. And you know what? You know, they're getting married, so you never know.
Kelly Keegs
But they give endgame vibes.
Fran
They do. They do. They totally do.
Kelly Keegs
Which, like, Kylie and Timmy give. Like, we hope it's endgame, but, like, could we see a proposal?
Fran
Right?
Kelly Keegs
And, like, him, like, at a giant Calabasas mansion for the rest of his life.
Fran
I know, but I do love that. I do love that they have seemingly taken it back pretty slow.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
It's been. They've been together for a while now.
Kelly Keegs
Like, what, two years?
Fran
Probably at least a year and a half.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
Would be my.
Kelly Keegs
And she pointed to his dad. Did you see that?
Fran
Yeah, that was cute.
Kelly Keegs
Dad was there. Do you think the dad is, like, walking behind Kylie's like, Ginorm Badanga Dong? Like, what is he feeling? Like, that's all I could focus on.
Fran
I mean, is that not, like. Is that not, like, father, son relationship? Like, son, like, let me shake.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, well done. Yeah. That's not the New York City girls. Like, he went to LaGuardia High School. School. Like, I went to high school. Right next to it. That ass wasn't in LaGuardia, let me tell you. Let me tell you.
Fran
Oh, that ass.
Kelly Keegs
And he loves.
Fran
I mean, that ass is. I'm telling you, not anywhere. Quite literally not anywhere.
Kelly Keegs
It's not anywhere.
Fran
So one of one.
Kelly Keegs
It's the main event. It's the accessory. It's the main event, and he can handle it, you know.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Pete Davidson is different. You know what I mean? Timmy. But him handling that ass, like, I just feel like moving forward. He just dated so differently before, for sure. No ass before, for sure. Now.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Major can never go back.
Fran
Major. Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. I mean, he probably can't go back.
Fran
No, I could say definitely can't.
Kelly Keegs
I just. I. That's what I'm focusing. Sorry.
Fran
No, no. That's so funny. It's cracking me up. Dochi put out a little joke about the Met Gala umbrella situation. We can talk about this quickly. She was like, oh, sorry. Like, a girl needed more umbrellas. And, you know, I do find that this was maybe a little harsh for her. The response of, like, oh, my God, she's being so mean. I think that's like, first Met high stress.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
You know, she is obviously raising her voice and yelling and, like, more umbrellas. But it's like, I don't know. She wasn't like, fuck you guys. Like, you're fucking up. I first met, like, this is a disaster.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
You know, it was just like, how did she make.
Kelly Keegs
What did she say?
Fran
She posted a TikTok and she put the caption over it that said, God forbid, a girl needs more umbrellas. And then she did. She wrote in the caption, she said, all jokes aside, this was such an overstimulating night, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. This was the night we all dreamed of, and my team killed it. Parentheses umbrellas aside. Yeah. So it's just like. Yeah, I think she lashed out.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
She needed more umbrellas.
Kelly Keegs
I like the apology. Yeah.
Fran
You know, it's.
Kelly Keegs
But can we. Can we. Okay. Hot take.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Moment. The Met. Like, let's get over the hype.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Stop with the walking. Fucking Porta Potty over you.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
No one, like, you know Sabrina Carpenter, that she came out with the. With the coat.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
That's like, a good move, I feel like, put a coat you don't want people to see. But, like, the mark has become kind of like, where you show your outfit, which I get sucks. Like.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Kelly Keegs
But you either lean into it or you don't. I think walking around with the thing is just a lot. And at the end of the day, her outfit was so cool, but it also doesn't feel like it was this giant gown that you need to cut. Like, it was a cool, like. Like, I feel like her outfit didn't represent, didn't align with like the umbrella.
Fran
Yeah. That's.
Kelly Keegs
Do you know what I mean?
Fran
Yeah, you know, that's.
Kelly Keegs
It was like a cool Billie Eilish kind of vibe outfit.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Which is so cool.
Fran
It was a really cool like shorts jacket, like Louis Vuitton vibe. Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
But like the umbrellas. I. At the end of the day I think that like this isn't a mistreats her employees moment.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
I feel like it is probably so hard to be calm and she didn't mean to like offend them. She probably just like was like Marvella is like it can happen to anybody. Appreciate the apology, but I feel like we should need to like. I feel like the, the met isn't that. Oh, I know what you went hard on now. I remember that I was surprised that you were like hated Hailey Biebers.
Fran
Boring.
Kelly Keegs
Now I know it's like. But you were.
Fran
Yeah, I know we were talking about that yesterday because sometimes we do have conversations when we make. When we put our social clips out of like, hey, do we clip this? Is this gonna like really piss people off? Whatever. And we talked about it.
Kelly Keegs
I was like, she's sensitive, she's.
Fran
But I'm sorry, I'm not saying like I hate Hailey Bieber.
Kelly Keegs
Like, I agree.
Fran
She is so stunning. Her makeup look flawless. She wore a black blazer dress that I. That any like 26 year old girl will wear out to dinner on a Saturday night.
Kelly Keegs
New York. Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
Like, she looks gorgeous. Yeah, she always looks gorgeous.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
I feel the same with Kendall. Like she looked beautiful but I wasn't.
Kelly Keegs
Like Kendall had better look.
Fran
There's.
Kelly Keegs
And I just think with probably regrets not wearing like she did that angel look last year.
Fran
Like there's just such like, with a cool theme. There's so much you can do, but maybe that's something different.
Kelly Keegs
Calm down with our example expectations of this night. Calm down with the importance of this night.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
It's almost a little pathetic. Like I feel like we need to kind of. Nobody even knows what it's for. Yeah. It's like raising funds for the costume department. So like maybe we. And then I think one person I saw being like, I'm so excited for the exhibit. I'm like, what exhibit? Like nobody's talking.
Fran
You can literally go to an exhibit.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, that is, you can go right now.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
See the exhibit that was at the Med. So I feel like, yes, it's a very cool event to be invited to and. And it's status and it's whatever. But it's also like, maybe let's lower expectations. Like, that wasn't mad or like that, you know, and the. I mean, it's.
Fran
I just think it's such a fun party where I do. For sure. But I do think if you are invited and you go, put the effort.
Noah
Put.
Fran
Put the effort in and have fun with it.
Kelly Keegs
That's so funny. No, Heidi.
Fran
I was like, boo.
Kelly Keegs
Heidi Klum literally put a black dress.
Fran
Like, she's my black dress. So it's just like.
Kelly Keegs
You know what I love about how.
Fran
The mark everyone does have to get over? Because I think. I think you have to accept that you're going to be photographed before you'll get your shot at on the carpet.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
You know?
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
But you can't, like, freak out that.
Kelly Keegs
Like, someone's gonna get a glimpse. Zendaya did it.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Which I love her. I feel like she just does things so cool. Like, she walked by in the thing. She went quickly. She didn't stop and pose.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
So you couldn't be sure of what's up. But I think, like, just. Yeah. Like, the. The bar is high from previous years, but I feel like it's become sort of like. I don't know.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
It became too. The expectations are too high. Yeah. Haley Bieber could have done more than a tuxedo dress. Yeah.
Fran
100.
Kelly Keegs
100.
Fran
What? Sorry, what were you gonna say about Heidi Klum?
Kelly Keegs
Oh, she's invited to every event. She goes everywhere. Like, somebody make a, like, dress. Every event. She's at every premiere. She just goes.
Fran
She loves the carpet.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. She loves to carve it. She wants to get those Getty picks, like, for sure, you know?
Fran
Sure. Okay. Last thing is just this Page Six headline, which. Which I feel like is a little redundant, but it has been in the news recently because of Prince Harry, you know, losing that he doesn't get his security when he's back in the uk. The whole thing. But this is. Prince Harry is being blackballed by Royal Family because none of them trust him or Meghan Markle. Sources say this is a source that.
Kelly Keegs
Megan Sussex.
Fran
Yeah, Megan. Yep, yep, yep. I generally think nobody trusts him. And that's the bottom line. The Royal Family has major trust issues with him. And that's what's at the heart of everything. They don't trust him and Megan, and that's why they can't have a relationship. Maybe there's room to forgive, but they won't forget. Forgiveness and trust are two different things. I'm like, oh, my. This is so dramatic.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, this is source.
Fran
So dramatic. A source. I literally, a source tells Page Six, and that's kind of it. But, like, is it really that it. I feel like he lost it after the book.
Kelly Keegs
Loss any trust?
Fran
Like, I. I think maybe if him and Megan had left and moved and. And whatever.
Kelly Keegs
He went in the interview right now and said, I don't talk to my father.
Fran
Yeah, not at all.
Kelly Keegs
So, like, he said it. Okay.
Fran
And I think it's like, also because he's in. Charles, I guess, was, like, really upset about the whole security battle that they were going through. But then Prince Harry also was like, it's so sad that I'll never be able to, like, bring my kids to the uk. Yeah. But is that true?
Kelly Keegs
Like, what do you mean?
Fran
He can't take them home, like, because they don't have security.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, that's what he said.
Fran
Yeah. It was more. Right. No, I'm. I feel like that was because they.
Rhea
Won'T provide him security.
Fran
They won't provide him.
Kelly Keegs
All right.
Fran
Like, they won't provide him security. And he then said, like, oh, you know, my kids won't be able to be in the uk, Which I'm like, they could go to the. They could go. No.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
I don't know. I thought that was kind of bizarre.
Kelly Keegs
From h. Like, I don't know what's happening.
Fran
I thought that was kind of.
Kelly Keegs
But I do think, like, these headlines, like, nobody's talking about that right now. You know what I mean? So why are we. You know what I mean? Like, where is this stemming from an interview that somebody did?
Fran
No, it's just I. I think that there is, like, a rotation where every three weeks or something, they want to just, like.
Kelly Keegs
Like, yeah.
Fran
Throw something out of that.
Kelly Keegs
So crazy. Like, people don't realize because when Megan wanted to leave. Right.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
The Royal Family, like, the uk, whatever. And then people see her on Netflix, and they're like, we thought you wanted privacy. And it's like, no, she didn't want to deal with that kind of. You know what I mean? She didn't want. She didn't say, I never want to be famous again. I don't want to be known. I want to be on tv.
Fran
I know. That's what I said.
Kelly Keegs
Like, yeah, the royal life ain't for me.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kelly Keegs
But by the way, might not be for everybody.
Fran
Totally. Like, but watch me make a veggie platter and I will crush the show. Honestly, I loved it.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
Like, it was like a great comfort show. You throw it on, you're like, She's. She's getting the vegetables from the garden.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
She's taking the honey, she's making the jam. She's, you know, making this a beautiful salted fish with her girlfriend.
Kelly Keegs
I'm obsessed that she did a shop my.
Fran
Yeah, I know, right?
Kelly Keegs
Like, could have never seen that coming.
Fran
Same. I loved it, though. I went through all of it. I went through all of it.
Kelly Keegs
But it's crazy. I'm like, so many Banana Republic. We love to see it.
Fran
She loves a high low.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
Where it's just like, okay, Zara pants, but a $3,000 Laura Pianist cashmere sweater. So a little high low. This was what Harry said. Harry said he did not think he would ever be able to bring his wife and their children back to Britain and claimed his father, the King, could resolve the issue. In an interview with BBC News, he said because of the security decision, he cannot see a world in which, I quote, see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the uk at this point, I can only come to the UK safely if I am invited. And there is a lot of control and ability in my father's hands. Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him, not by intervening, but by stepping aside and allowing the experts to do what is necessary. That said, this was all initiated under previous government. There is now a new government. I have had it described to me once people knew about the facts and that this is a good old fashioned establishment stitch up. And that is what it feels like because they won't let him have, like, official security, government security, when he goes, I don't know, is it that, like, is this. Is it naive of me to think that a royal, a member of the Royal family maybe, like, can't live their life in their own country without government?
Kelly Keegs
It's like, sniper. I don't know.
Fran
Yeah, I know.
Kelly Keegs
Maybe we're thinking like the barricade fans.
Fran
Right? Right.
Kelly Keegs
But maybe I'm thinking, like, can you.
Fran
Don't you have your, like, personal security? Like, I could just go with you.
Kelly Keegs
Like Justin Bieber's, but.
Fran
Yeah, no, you're probably right because when the Royal Family are home in their. In their homes, like, there are snipers.
Kelly Keegs
And then we're talking about, like, the cars that.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
You know, when the President's here. Think about that kind of thing.
Fran
Yeah, that's what Megan already does that. She goes around New York with, like four cars. There's like decoys, there's.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, really?
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they had that whole moment, they had that Whole moment. Like, what was it last year, two years ago, where it was something about, like, they were being chased around New York City, and they. Everyone was like, oh, you know, maybe.
Kelly Keegs
He needs more detail. But it's also like, what are you, like, the Beckhams? Like, why are we airing this out? You know?
Fran
Isn't it so funny, though? Like, we go. We use the phrase. We're like, we. As we use the phrase. Like, what do you think, you're the Prince of England? And we're like, no, he really is.
Kelly Keegs
He really is.
Fran
So maybe he does need it.
Kelly Keegs
Maybe he does. I mean, there's so many intricacies because, like, he is what he isn't. But, like, she's it. She uses a duchess, but she's not. But then people are like, no, she is. But then she changed her name, decides the kids are. So like, unless she's got that royal.
Fran
Monogram still in her stuff, you know, So.
Kelly Keegs
I know.
Fran
Where'd you put it?
Kelly Keegs
I made its own box.
Fran
Good, good. Thank God.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
I was. Where. I was like, please.
Kelly Keegs
Because, you know. Because I have a letter box.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
I'm into, like, letters, and I save cards for my birthday. So I was gonna put it there. I was like, no, it is no special place. Like, I don't know what else is gonna go in there. Like, maybe, like, if I ever get a note from somebody else important, well.
Fran
She'Ll be the first of your famous people notes.
Kelly Keegs
Famous people notes of that box have some competition, which is so funny.
Fran
I know. Imagine you're like, you just put it in the other box in 20 years from now. You're like, let me go look through my old birthday cards.
Kelly Keegs
Like, oh, Megan.
Fran
Here's my note for Megan.
Kelly Keegs
I know. So crazy.
Fran
No, she. That's. That's so fair. And hopefully you get to grow the box more ladders and notes. That would be so fun.
Kelly Keegs
That is true. It is very her. And on brand with the show that she wants to start writing notes.
Fran
You got to see the calligraphy in real life.
Kelly Keegs
Yes. Oh, yes.
Fran
She's got that beautiful handwriting.
Kelly Keegs
She does. And then I learned that she worked. She did it. She's like, that's not her. And then other royalists, historians were like.
Fran
She did wedding invites.
Kelly Keegs
She did. So that's all her. And she really, like. I did some digging about how the note came to be, and I was told that she. It was her idea, and that she said, like, oh, we should write her a note. And then she said, I want to start writing notes. Like, I want it to be a thing.
Fran
It's like the most Megan thing ever.
Kelly Keegs
So if anybody else gets to know, let me know.
Fran
But I could really also be such a part of the show of, like.
Kelly Keegs
I should write her a note. I should.
Fran
I'm gonna write. I'm gonna bring back letters.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
I'm gonna bring back the written word.
Kelly Keegs
I mean, it is kind of nice.
Fran
Yeah, it is. It's a beautiful touch. Yeah, it's a beautiful touch. So, no, that's realized.
Kelly Keegs
I really didn't write her anything. Do you think I should have said thank you for the note?
Fran
I feel like you posting, freaking out is thank you.
Kelly Keegs
You're, like, reminding me of. No, I'm an air loser. No, I'm like Instagram in five seconds.
Fran
Full post.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, full post. You don't think it deserved great 100% checking.
Fran
No, no, no, no, no. But I'm saying I think for her to, like, she knows.
Kelly Keegs
She knows I know. She.
Fran
She knows to be like, oh, my God, I got a full.
Kelly Keegs
No, she knew. And she probably knew, like, you know, she. She probably knew that I would share it. Like, excuse me.
Fran
Gotta 100.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Fran
That's why she said, I hope you're on, like, the list now for all her new.
Kelly Keegs
Well, I got the jam.
Fran
Exactly.
Kelly Keegs
I got the jam.
Fran
I only got the jam because I.
Kelly Keegs
I get the jam.
Fran
I got the jam because if a follower bought it, I missed the sale. And a follower bought it. Bought two. She was so nice. She sent me one of them so that Ria and I can try it. Divine. The jam was fantastic.
Kelly Keegs
I need to know how this happened. The follower told you. I have another one. Address.
Fran
A girl DM me. A girl DM me. Yeah. I did not hear, like, she had two.
Kelly Keegs
You, like, gave the address right away.
Fran
She had two. She DM'd.
Kelly Keegs
She said, I'd love to learn to.
Fran
I don't need to. I can send you the other one if you guys want to try. I said, I'm dying to try it. Please send it. She sent to the barstool office.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, that's cute.
Fran
And. And re. And I got to try it. And I would feel that. Well, you know what? She had one already. And who needs more than one jam, really?
Kelly Keegs
I know. It is true. I didn't open mine.
Fran
What?
Kelly Keegs
Because it's still in the thing. Well, you probably are eating it every day.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
Really? You know what, to be honest, I. I have, like, a post idea. This is how long it takes me to, like, think of a, like, you know, when you're like, when. You know, when you're like. That would be funny to do a reel.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
So I.
Fran
You have to try it.
Kelly Keegs
I know. No, I'm.
Fran
We tried it live on the show.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, you did?
Fran
And it was really good. Really good. We were just working with what we had in the office that day, and it was Monday, so it was bagel Monday, because they get made bagels here. So we did, like, a little toasted bagel, a little cream cheese and raspberry jam.
Kelly Keegs
Was it so good?
Fran
So good.
Kelly Keegs
I did, like, lick a little bit of it.
Fran
Okay.
Kelly Keegs
I might have been like. Because I was so. Didn't know what to do in the moment. And it did taste very, like, legit.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
You know, like, you could see the fruit in there. You could see the fruit.
Fran
That's what I loved. You see the little seeds? You can see the seeds.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah. On, like, the trash.
Fran
This shit is real. This is a real deal right here.
Kelly Keegs
Really preserved.
Fran
So. No. Is delicious. But, yeah, they're not going back to the UK anytime soon, sadly. And that is. That's all the topics. I've kept you here forever. Thank you so much for staying and going through all the topics with me. And that's. I think this is, like. This is the beginning and the end of Friend and Friends.
Kelly Keegs
Oh, yeah, that's it, kind of. When is she coming back?
Fran
No, no, Monday. We have one more. I'll just say what. Monday's episode. I hope everyone's listening. Forgive me. Monday's episode is going to be on a delay. If everything goes according to plan, we have someone coming in. It'll be great, but it can't be till later in the day, so Monday's episode will be delayed. But she's back on Tuesday, so she'll be back for our four episodes next week. We'll be able to break down all the honeymoon fun stuff.
Kelly Keegs
She'll be so tan.
Fran
Yeah, Just gonna be relaxed tan. Just living just on. On that honeymoon high. But thank you so much, as always. I love chatting with you, love talking pop culture with you. Please tell everybody, if they don't already, they can follow you and the podcast.
Kelly Keegs
And not send him off fat. Yeah, didn't change it. Sticking strong, you guys.
Fran
Strong.
Kelly Keegs
Hold it strong.
Fran
Yeah, I. You have to, though. It's tough. Like when at this point, it's like you're locked in.
Kelly Keegs
I'm locked in.
Fran
It would be to imagine what we. The. Imagine the uproar if. If you just said, guys, I actually changed my. Your Instagram name. We just see it just as like.
Kelly Keegs
Adamanda or everyone will come out and be like, great. We hated it. Like, we just felt triggered.
Fran
I think people will be like, like what?
Kelly Keegs
I know, I know. It's so, it's so in my heart and I'm such a loyalist.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly Keegs
You know, it feels like.
Fran
And it's the podcast.
Kelly Keegs
And it's a podcast and it gets to. And it's so dumb that it's the podcast. Like, let's be honest. Cause, like, it sounds like, what is it? Like, program. But. But you know what? Like, we got this far with it.
Fran
Exactly.
Kelly Keegs
Stick with it.
Fran
Exactly. Amazing. Thank you.

Kelly Keegs
Hi.
Fran
Oh, now she's gonna jump.
Ariana Maddox
Oh my gosh.
Fran
She's so good.
Ariana Maddox
Oh, she was gonna chill.
Fran
Now she's gonna leave. I'm, I'm really trying to handle the, like, just getting a dog and the guilt of like leaving my apartment and being like, okay, bye.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, it's hard at first. Well, I remember too, like both Charlotte and Maya, when I first got both of them at those respective times, like they had separation anxiety for sure in the beginning. So it's kind of like, you know, like eventually. Yeah, but it's hard.
Fran
I feel that from her majorly, like, she sits outside the shower, like, in the bathroom. I'm like, oh, okay. We're gonna have to get used to this. But I know there's certain people. I was like, you know what? I know Ariana is an animal person. She'll be okay.
Ariana Maddox
Oh, my God. Yeah, it's almost better.
Fran
It does make it more fun.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, it's definitely because, like, I've been up so, like, all day. I've been up so. Since so early this morning. So, like, having, like, a little, like.
Fran
How long have you been in New York? She's good.
Ariana Maddox
I got in town last Friday. I'm here for a week, so. Yeah.
Fran
So time to adjust.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. It was Dan's birthday on Sunday, so we did some things to celebrate that. And then it's just been like, you know, work during the week, but it's nice to do both.
Fran
And you're so close to love island time. Once again, so close.
Ariana Maddox
It's kind of flying up, like. Yeah, I'm a little nervous.
Fran
Isn't it kind of crazy? It feels like we were just there almost. I'm like, oh, my God. Now it's time for a whole.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, we were just there. With those wooden shutters and the little. That hotel room.
Fran
Yep. Yep. Back in that. Back of that hotel room.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah.
Fran
How crazy was last season for you? Because not only was it a massive success for the contestants, but for you too, it was so huge.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. And it was crazy, too, because they had no idea that it was, like.
Fran
Really professional here. Unbelievable. She gonna stay like this. Okay.
Ariana Maddox
She needs her own show.
Fran
Yep. Okay. Just, you know, Here we go. Okay. Back to you, master.
Ariana Maddox
So short.
Fran
It was for you last year.
Ariana Maddox
It was a huge season, but it was crazy because, you know, we knew what we were seeing on social media and stuff, but we weren't here to interact with anyone who was actually able to watch it, because you can't watch it.
Fran
Right.
Ariana Maddox
So we knew, but we almost didn't know in a way. But then the contestants, like, really didn't know.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
Because you can't tell them that.
Fran
No, that was the craziest thing, too. Was even just leaving. And in the airport, some of the contestants were leaving at the same time we were. And they were like, what is happening right now?
Ariana Maddox
Yeah.
Fran
Like, guys, you have no idea. No idea. So it's so cool to see what they've been doing. And now they're all gonna do a show.
Ariana Maddox
I love it. I mean, they're stars.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And I feel like truly, last season was lightning In a bottle in so many ways. And, you know, I feel like this season should just not try to be anything like, you know what I mean? Like.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Ariana Maddox
No one should try to recreate or live up to or anything like that, because it. I think what makes Love island so great is that each season is so unique, and I definitely think it'll be like that from last season to this season. But they are all such stars, and I'm actually very excited to be able to watch kind of where they're at now.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And I follow them on social media, but it's different.
Kelly Keegs
Right.
Ariana Maddox
It's not the same as getting a glimpse into, you know, these relationships that they're in almost a year later. So I'm. I'm excited about watching that too.
Fran
What. What advice would you have for them? Kind of jumping into the reality. Like, it's such a different type of reality tv. Probably more, you know, Vanderpump Rules esque.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, exactly. I think so too. I think it'll be similar to that vibe, I guess. You know, everyone fell in love with them because they were also authentically themselves. You know, like, each one of them is so unique and such a clear, like, personality. So if they can just hold on to that and keep doing that, I think that will be something that really resonates with viewers. But, you know, it's. It is different. And in love, in Love island, in the Villa, there's so many situations that kind of lead you to drama or, you know.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Ariana Maddox
Like, over the top moments.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And real life doesn't really have that.
Fran
Right.
Ariana Maddox
So, like, don't try to create it.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
You know what I mean?
Fran
Right, right, right. It's such a different, like, they. They're not all living together. They're not all seeing each other. 24.
Ariana Maddox
There's no challenge where someone has to read mean tweets about you or, like, you know, you don't have to, like.
Fran
To kiss Mary Pie.
Ariana Maddox
Anyone like, you kind of just, you know, could go to a bar and have a conversation. So it is a little bit. It'll be different.
Fran
Yeah. Are you surprised at all that a lot of these couples are still together? I. Because, like, Love Island US hasn't had the best track record.
Ariana Maddox
No, it's true.
Fran
But this season, they're thriving.
Ariana Maddox
I. I mean, it's. I didn't find it too surprising just because watching them.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
On the season, you could tell that they. These relationships were super genuine. But at the same time, sometimes you watch a show and you think the same thing, and Then they break up right after and you wonder like, what was. I see. But with them, it really felt like they were legit. So.
Fran
Yeah, I think what you also said was so true. That like, and I think that speaks for the contestants that are now going to be on the next season to not try and copy, like, I'm gonna be like the new Leah or I'm gonna be like. Because it's just. It's not gonna work. And that's when the Internet tears people apart too.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. And then people say people can always see right through it is the thing. And you know, of course people comment. They, you know, they're like, how are they gonna live up to. Or oh, how are they gonna top? It's like, let's. We're not gonna top. It's like every season has its own lane and I feel like that's how it's gonna be successful.
Fran
What are you looking forward to? Just yourself, like, returning to Fiji life.
Ariana Maddox
You know, I'm kind of looking forward to getting back into that. I don't know, there's a little bit of like a routine that I would have on my days off, getting back into hanging out with like my, my team, my host team, because they're the best. And I don't know, it's. It's a little bit freeing in a way where I am so far removed from everything that's going on in LA or whatever. So it's a little bit. It can be a little bit stressful, but it can also be super like.
Fran
Well, right.
Ariana Maddox
It's. What time zone is it exactly? Even can't even deal with that right now.
Fran
I was gonna say, especially with the time change, it's like you're living. Might as well be a different universe. You're like, oh, that's happened hours ago. It's over now. I missed it. It's like you completely sleep through things. You're like, oh, it's the next day. Yeah, miss that completely.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, sometimes that can be nice.
Fran
Yeah. You know, was it tough kind of keeping up with your, like, personal relationships though, when you're, when you're over there?
Ariana Maddox
Well, it's tough cuz like, I like with my friends, I would miss my friends and they would all be, you know, in the group text or hanging out. Hanging out and talking about going out to dinner and stuff like that. And I'm like, okay, miss you guys.
Fran
Right? Like, is it like, do you, you want to still be in the group chat? Yeah, but yeah, you don't want to see what everybody's doing.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. I get FOMO a little bit like that. And then I come back in July and I'm like, you guys still like me? Like, are we cool?
Fran
Are we friends still? We were joking about it with, I mean, a different situation. We were talking about it with Rhea. She's on her honeymoon right now and we have our team chicks in the office chat. And we were like, don't. She was like, don't take me out of it because there's work stuff that we need to talk about. I was like, rhea, I'm not texting you about the day to day stuff that you don't need to see. You're on your honeymoon. This is when you should not be looking at any of it.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. And even if you think you're not gonna look at it, that notification will get you totally in the phone.
Fran
100%. Yeah, exactly. To be like, oh shoot, okay, now you're, you know, you're having a beautiful dinner with your husband and you're like seeing the team sito chat. I'm like, you don't need to do that.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah.
Fran
It's not important. But how's life been for you recently? I feel like the last time I saw you it was so busy because you're doing Love Island. It was like straight into Broadway and so many all these amazing things. Have you gotten any chill rest time?
Kelly Keegs
No.
Ariana Maddox
Now it's just, it's, it's almost just as busy. It's just not necessarily like for like front facing busy.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
You know, whether it's the sandwich shop or meetings. Meetings, meetings. Like great meetings, amazing meetings. I certainly don't want to act like a, like I don't love the meetings but it's a lot of that sort of behind the scenes stuff. So. So yeah, yeah. Still just really busy. The holidays were nice.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
A little break on the holidays. Yeah.
Fran
How was the Broadway experience for you?
Ariana Maddox
Oh, incredible.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
I just last night was able to hang out with one of my castmates, Kristen Faith.
Kelly Keegs
We.
Ariana Maddox
Who we, we learned the show together and she's, she's Hanyak. So she's been, she's still there. So I saw her after the show and it was so nice to see her and catch up and I just, I love everybody that I was able to do the show with and yeah, I would go back in a heartbeat.
Fran
I was gonna say, like, did it give you the bug to wanna do more on the shows or.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah, yeah.
Ariana Maddox
But that's also been like out the womb. I wanted to. So then once I was able to do it. I was like, no, I wanna keep doing it. It's so fun.
Fran
Exactly it. Really. And it's such a. Such a fun difference between New York and LA life. What do you prefer now that you've kind of gotten those months in New York doing Broadway?
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, well, I lived in New York for, like, five years before.
Fran
Yep.
Ariana Maddox
And, you know, I was very, very. I've always been a hustler, someone with, like, many jobs to do it. All right. And so, like, when I moved from New York to LA the first time, like, I was super, super broke. And being here and for those few months last year, it's a different experience when you're living here and you're able to do. You're lucky enough to do what you love and what you've always dreamed of doing. It's obviously, like, a very different feeling than, you know, promoting cigarettes, bartending, go. Go dancing, like, the many hats, all of those things. But I feel like they're so different. Like, I really love New York, but la, we have space. And I think that, like, what is on White Lotus when she's like, I don't think at this age I'm meant.
Fran
To live an uncomfortable life. Yeah, yeah.
Ariana Maddox
Like la, there is a lot of more of that kind of comfortability.
Fran
Right, right, right, right, right.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah.
Fran
Is you have more. You're not shoving everything into an apartment and all that stuff.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. And even when I have, like, a busy day where I have to. To go do a lot of different things, I can just throw all my shit in the car and just drive. You know what I'm saying? I'm not with the Big Bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
I miss that feeling of, like, just being able to drive wherever. So at first, like, being in New York, it's like, oh, I don't really care that much. You get wherever I want. And now I'm like, I would love to just pack my cart for a day and have it and know where it is and know where all my stuff is.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And then when I get home, if I don't feel like unpacking the car and just leave it there until then.
Fran
I say, oh, my God, what a feeling.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, it is kind of nice.
Fran
That is so not schlepping it all on the subway or whatever you have to do to get from the different places. How is the sandwich shop doing?
Ariana Maddox
It's great. Yeah.
Fran
It's so cute. Bri and I have stopped.
Ariana Maddox
Yes.
Fran
We were on a walk the last time we were in la, and we're like, oh, my God, we're so close to something here.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, we love it. We've been working on. I'm not sure when this is coming out, but Mother's Day. We're doing, like, a really cute Mother's Day brunch.
Fran
Amazing people. This will be Friday, so it'll be free Mother's Day.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
Perfect. Yeah. Come for Mother's Day. All the information's on the Instagram and stuff.
Fran
Amazing.
Ariana Maddox
Very excited about that. And we've been looking forward to just kind of over the summer, we have, like, a couple ideas of some fun things, because, you know, we have our menu that we. Our set menu that we absolutely love, but we also love coming up with new fun ideas and ways to incorporate holidays or the seasons and so. Yeah.
Fran
What's it been like, kind of working on the show, I feel like, because so much was shown on the show and now it's, like, really obviously not on TV as much now. So it's like, you see that dynamic of you and Katie and everybody working on it, and now that it's not. Has that dynamic changed at all, or have you and Katie just been great doing it?
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. I think we've been truly lucky that we really love working together, and we seem to be super aligned on vision and executing it. And when we're talking about stuff, it feels like we're almost always on the same page. And, of course, like, owning a restaurant is hard.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
You know, like, people aren't kidding when they say that. And we knew it would be difficult going into it, but when you have that person that's your partner, that you have the same vision, it does make things a lot easier. And then you can focus on all those issues that arise that are hard and not have that be something that you're struggling with.
Fran
So.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, it's really cool.
Fran
Right. It's like, you don't have to worry about.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah.
Fran
Like, that part, all the outside noise, it's like, okay, now we are, you know, business partners. I can do all that. Yeah. Have you been watching any of, you know, the Valley or any of these craziness?
Ariana Maddox
Of course. Like, it comes up on my TikTok.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And sometimes I'm like, I can't.
Fran
I was going to say, does it feel kind of good to be.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, it's really stressful. Like, it's really stressful to say, see stuff. And it's hard, too, because especially from what I've seen this season and, like, talking to my friends that are on it. It's very dark.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And, yeah, I.
Fran
It's crazy. I know. It's like you watch and you're like, I can't believe this is, you know, second season. It's already. Already hit that level, I think. Did I see that you were at Kristen's.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. Her baby shower. Yeah.
Fran
That's so nice.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah.
Fran
How was it?
Ariana Maddox
It was so nice. Britney had all these amazing and everything. Cute cookies and cupcakes or macaroons. Yeah. It was super cute. And Kristin is like the most beautiful pregnant person ever.
Fran
So it's really nice to. Because of watching her on the show and see what she's been through to get to this point now.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. And I know that her and Luke's journey, getting with their fertility and stuff is something that's, you know, and it's really beautiful. And Yeah, I love it for them.
Fran
Yeah, definitely. It's so nice.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah.
Fran
You also just had, I think. Did you say 10 years? Going to go 10. This the same squad going to Coachella?
Ariana Maddox
10 Coachellas. Yeah.
Fran
With the same group. Is that what there's been to 10 years of Coachella?
Ariana Maddox
I mean, total. I've been 10 years. Not always. Like, my first two years was I would like my friend Rebecca and her crew and my friend Kyle and like, they had gone for many years before that. So they invite, you know, I kind of like came into them and then it was like, okay, I think I have like a lay of the land and then like slowly but surely kind of. But there's a lot of. Yeah, a lot of repeat, you know, crew and stuff. And of course, like, when I convinced Logan to move to la, of course I'm like convinced him to come to Coachella too. So. Yeah, I love it. It's not my only music festival, but it's the one that I've been to the most. Yeah.
Fran
What was your favorite part about this past? Like, this past one.
Ariana Maddox
Oh, man. Zenyara obsessed. It was like an after party and the LA Phil.
Fran
Okay.
Ariana Maddox
Also, we got to meet Yo Gabba Gabba in the wild.
Fran
Wow.
Ariana Maddox
Super fun.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
I'm like, I know this is like silly, but.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And their, their performance was incredible. I was like blown away by it.
Fran
When I saw that. I was like, am I on drugs? Like, what? I did not know that this was a thing.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And I've like, I'm not familiar with them. I, I, they're. I'm older than.
Fran
No. Yeah. So I know about the TV show, but even then it was like, yeah.
Ariana Maddox
Like I'm not familiar with their songs, but watching their performance, I was like oh, man, these songs are bops.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
So, yeah, it was great.
Fran
That's amazing. I know. I, I, I went once and loved it and have not been back. But when I saw Zed do clarity with the LA Phil, LA. Phil, and it's just like as I'm scrolling on TikTok, the video comes up, I was like, full body chills. I was like, this is the most incredible thing I've ever seen.
Ariana Maddox
I've started a one woman campaign to get them to put that version on Apple Music or Spotify because I need it.
Fran
I will join you. It'll be a two woman campaign.
Ariana Maddox
Okay, great.
Fran
I would also really like to listen to I said the TikTok. I was replaying just the TikTok.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah.
Fran
Just to get that, hear that part happen again. It really, it really is just so nice. And. Yeah. So I mean, what's, what else do you have to do to prep for Fiji?
Ariana Maddox
Well, I really need to get my outfits together. We don't have anything set in stone yet, of course.
Fran
Like, do you feel a little pressure because of how amazing.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, like a lot, actually. Because I'm like, well. And it also, so much of it depends on what's out there.
Fran
Right.
Ariana Maddox
You know, I'm not, you know, I'm not at this like the level where say, you know, the people who go to say, a Met gala, you know, where, you know, like, Gucci is not making me some incredible gown. Like, it's not happening.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ariana Maddox
So it's a lot of yet that would be sick.
Fran
But it, so it's a smile on the vine. He'll do full Louie for you, you know? Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
Oh, my God. Yeah, please. Hello? But it's so, it's a lot of just Emily works so hard to source so many things and we are working on trying to get some custom things as well. But it's, it's, it is dependent sometimes on, you know, what is already exists. You know, sometimes people will comment and they'll be like, well, why didn't you wear something that looks like this? And I'm like, do you send me a link? Yeah, like, where is that?
Fran
Right? That sounds really nice. Can I buy that? Because I would like to. And then I'll wear that. Yeah, no, that's so true. While you're away for that long, does your boyfriend get to come to Fiji at all? That's a far trip, right?
Ariana Maddox
From New York?
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Ariana Maddox
From la, it's not so far, but for him from New York, it's, it's definitely a trip. Last year he came and stayed for a week. I was there. I think I had two weeks before we started actually filming. So he came for that first week. This year I'm trying to get him to come and stay for two weeks just because it gets so nice to have.
Fran
How could you not?
Noah
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And it's, it's two years in a row now that my birthday will also be while I'm there.
Fran
Okay.
Ariana Maddox
So I'm like, perfect timing, everybody. Come on out. Yeah, yeah, yep.
Fran
Perfect timing. Was there anything from like Fiji life that you picked up for your everyday life? Because I feel like the people there are just amazing. I granted, we were there for four or five days and we came back being like, oh, my God, they're amazing.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, I feel like, you know, I, I had this pair. This is gonna sound really ridiculous, but I had this pair of crocs that were given to me out there and I decorated them all like Love island themed. And I know this is maybe. But it connects it away. So it's like I always, you know, living in la, I feel like there's sometimes pressure to, you know, like, look cool when you go out and stuff. In Fiji, it's like no one gives a. You know, it's hot. It's more just like being comfortable in the heat and, and just living your life and, and kind of, you know, having that like, it's more relaxed feel.
Fran
Yeah, definitely.
Ariana Maddox
And so I definitely feel like that ability or that feeling of relaxation is something that I have taken with me since then. Yeah, definitely.
Fran
That's. That was very true. I felt like that was a good, a good way. Because when you go back to la, New York, whatever, it's just so fast paced. Everybody just wants to get from A to B and it's just like. Yeah, it's a lot. It's nice to relax. Now that you have the full season under your belt, hosting. What was like the biggest misconception, maybe not the right word, but like getting. Doing a full season as a host, like, what is something you learned that you didn't think was maybe part of the job?
Ariana Maddox
Oh, well, I think sometimes there's like a misconception that like people will comment and they'll be like, why didn't you say da da da da da? Or why didn't you tell? You know, of course, let's. Of course. Last season two, right.
Kelly Keegs
We got Rob.
Fran
Right, Right.
Ariana Maddox
And they would be like, why didn't you tell Rob to like, off or, you know.
Fran
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And I'm like, I cannot. You know, you know, there's a lot of things where they want to know, why am I not coming in there and, you know, bringing my thoughts and feelings. And I'm like, that's what after sun is for for me. And because, you know, that affects the integrity of the show. I. I'm the host of the show, so. So, you know, I think that is a little bit of a misconception that I can just come on in and interact however I'd like to. I have to be a little bit more of, like, this is my villa, and I'm, like, holding court a little bit in a way. That being said so many times, I want to be like, are you okay? You know? Or like, you're doing great. And I'm like, I can't.
Fran
That is so true. I know. Because you're such a fan of the show and have been where it's like, let's wait. Let's. Everyone, let's come over here and let's talk about what's happening. Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And I also sometimes, like, I, like, love them, and I can see how much they're putting themselves out there, and it can be so hard, especially coming in as, like, a bombshell or someone from Casa or whatever. And I want to be like, trust me, like, you're do. You're fine. Like, you're okay, but it's like, I'm not. I can't. I don't know. I always want to, like, pep talk everybody.
Fran
Right, right, right. When do you kind of get to familiarize yourself with the contestants or the cat? Like, do you know anything about who gets to.
Ariana Maddox
Well, yeah. So last year, I asked if they could send the bios and their. Their little, like, tapes, you know, how they would show.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ariana Maddox
Because I wanted to know.
Fran
Right. And then sometimes I'm Megan and I should be on my violin because.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
And I want to read, like, where all the. This stuff about. And then I try to guess, like, who. Who do I think they would like? And then a lot of times it's, like, completely wrong. Like, I'm so wrong.
Fran
I'm like, that's such good. That's such fun insight, like, from info, though, on paper. Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
You're like, okay, wow. No, that was not the case.
Fran
Right. I feel like that's kind of the dream, as a fan of the show, too, is, like, to see who everyone kind of is first. And then you also get to see, like, from their tapes and stuff. Oh, maybe they. When the camera's on, they've changed a little bit or they're acting a little.
Ariana Maddox
Different, I think, like, oh, he's gonna go in there and she's gonna love him. And then he walks in and she's like, mm.
Fran
Like, oh, I read that very wrong.
Kelly Keegs
Very wrong.
Fran
Very wrong.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah.
Fran
Have you had, like, any favorite moments from hosting?
Ariana Maddox
Yeah, I mean, the getting to witness the brilliance of Serena at that Castle Moore recoupling. That was my favorite. I was so proud of her. And you know, they don't. There's not really a lot of cutting to me in that moment. Of course there shouldn't be. But if you could have seen me, I was standing there just like, yeah.
Fran
Yep. Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
Like, I was like, hell yeah.
Fran
Like.
Ariana Maddox
Like that. Yeah. I just was thought she. Her ability to express her. Her sadness, her anger, her joy. Like, everything is just so beautiful. And just like as a viewer watching the girls friendships last season and how supportive they were of each other, I just thought that was so great.
Fran
Yeah. And it's gonna be so much fun now to, you know, get to watch that friendship change and see them in. In real life and all the other people. I thought it was so interesting too that, like, some of the casa people are sort of involved.
Ariana Maddox
Oh, are they not?
Fran
Like, I just feel like in a way that some of the names, they. They didn't say it fully, but it was like, oh, you know, go to. Different people may pop in here or there, which is, I feel very interesting.
Ariana Maddox
That is interesting.
Fran
Yeah. Just to cause they. Different friendships and different even just like, Connor, I was like, oh, good for you, Connor.
Ariana Maddox
I was surprised to see it as well.
Fran
So you know what? Good for you, Connor. You get to be on this show. That's gonna be. But they do need some of the single people because it's the same element with any reality tv. Like you got the couples, but then you want to see.
Kelly Keegs
Yeah.
Ariana Maddox
You need a little bit of someone.
Fran
Going on some dates or whatever they have to do. Exactly. Okay, we'll wrap up our last question, our Armani beauty question. You were talking about your outfits, and I know that that is also very important. But the looks, the hair, the makeup, everything you did last summer was so spectacular. What do you do now? Planning, Like, I know outfits. You plan, but Pinterest board. Like, what do you do to think. You know what? Let's try this look. Cause you're so close with your hair. Makeup people.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. I have an ongoing folder that I add looks to that I see on Instagram or TikTok. They do as well.
Fran
Yep.
Ariana Maddox
And then I've been in touch with Carl about what is my current hair color, so he can make sure he brings all kinds of hair to Fiji to be able to play with and do stuff. And then recently, I saw he was doing some wig on Maura, and I was like, bring the wigs.
Fran
Bring the wigs. Bring the wigs.
Ariana Maddox
Let's do it.
Fran
Let's do it. What did you have a favorite hair and makeup look from last season? I feel like there were so many.
Ariana Maddox
I really liked. I think it was the second one that was a little bit like the little bob that was flipped out, half up, half down. I just really liked it because it felt very kind of cute, almost cutesy, but then sexy dress. I love that kind of stuff.
Fran
It's very, like, model, definitely. Yeah. Well, we can't wait to see all the looks you're gonna serve next season. Gonna be able to tune in June 3rd. Peacock ready to go. Yeah, I can't wait. It's. I. I feel the void. Like, I miss it. I feel like we haven't had it in a while, and everyone's gonna be so excited.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. That promo that we shot, when they start playing the theme song, I was.
Fran
Like, oh, I know, right? It settles you. Yeah, it does. You hear the music again, and it. And it settles you. By the way, I loved seeing you in the NBC basketball promo. I thought that was awesome.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah.
Fran
And, people, the NBC now is gonna be doing NBA games, and they did a full just like, NBC Personas, personalities, helping promote and seeing. That was so fun.
Ariana Maddox
Yeah. When they asked me if I would, I was like, hell, yeah, I'll do that. Like, that's the song I grew up hearing watching basketball with my parents.
Fran
Exactly. Yeah, exactly. So much fun. Arianna, thank you so much.
Ariana Maddox
Yes. Thanks for having me.

Noah
That makes sense to me because I don't know what she would.

Or like Sarah Paul. Sarah Paulson.
Noah
Sarah Paulson sounds like someone who would have been on Grace.
Fran
Or is it like. Like a Law and Order?
Noah
Law and Order svu, I bet. Or just Law and Order. Maybe we could just say Law and.
