Studies show that 100% of everybody in the world wants to curl up indoors
Arielle Kebbel
and do nothing because it's so darn cold out there.
Fran
That's why many people are turning to Bombas, whose pillowy plush slippers and warm merino wool socks have been said to
Arielle Kebbel
be the most comfortable in the history of feet. Bomba's products have been found to boost
Fran
coziness by up to 1 million percent.
Arielle Kebbel
Okay, enough fake statistics. But.
Ria
But could Bombas socks and slippers really be the Cure?

Cause it is the best show on earth. But before we get into all of that, we need to talk about the thing that is keeping everyone's lives organized, right? And that is Microsoft 365 copilot. We got lots of topics, we have a great interview. But first let's discuss Microsoft 365 copilot absolutely checks.
Ria
The Office is presented by Microsoft Copilot because the workday, it's moving fast. Really, the world's moving fast, but your workday, it's moving faster because there's just so much going on.

Fran
Exactly. And you can learn more@Microsoft.com M365CO pilot Let's get into it. Ladies and gentlemen. It is a gorgeous day outside.
Ria
It is. It is.
Fran
The sun is shining. The birds are chirping.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
The coffee is running through Our veins and things are just feeling delightful.
Ria
It's gorgeous. Can I just complain, though?
Fran
About what? I.
Ria
What? So here's my problem with fake spring, okay? When fake spring happens in New York, it's beautiful. But if you were in a building that you can't control your. Your heat, your AC or anything.
Noah
Oh, yeah, I had the same thought.
Ria
The heat is still on because we're not in the point where the heat is turned off.
Noah
And by the way, the AC is not coming on for a long time.
Ria
No, you can't turn the AC on. Like, here's. I have two. I have, like, you know, they're radiators, but I. I can control them. They're not just on off all the time without me controlling it. However, when the heat is on, even when they are technically off, heat is coming out of them. Like, if you were to put your hand on top of it, it feels warm. So sleeping.
Noah
Wait, can you control your temperature or is it just like. Like, high, medium, low? That's what I have.
Ria
No, I can. I can set a temperature out in one room. In the other room, it's like high, medium, low. But when it gets to be warm outside for fake spring and your heat is still on in the apartment, it gets very hot, and you can't control it when you go to sleep. So it's just. You're sweating and you're not getting a great night's sleep. However, during the day, glorious is fantastic. It's amazing.
Fran
I could see how that problem would rile you up.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
I'm curious.
Ria
And would rile about my. About my sleep?
Fran
I don't have that issue. I can control when I want the heat on or when I want the air on. It is nice.
Arielle Kebbel
Be nice.
Fran
You know, Jersey City. I mean, listen.
Ria
No, I know.
Fran
That's what I got going on over there. I know.
Ria
And it's like. It's funny because they could probably change it or I've never even really asked because it's. It is technically, like, not on. Like, if you were to look at my. Yeah, if you were to. If you were to look at my unit, it would say everything's off. But if you were to touch it,
Noah
like, the legal time that they have to turn the AC on is May 31. And let me tell you, my building waits till the last fucking second.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
So, like, end of May, I will be, like, drenched in sweltering.
Fran
Yeah, you're sweltering.
Noah
Like, a hundred fans going.
Fran
That's why you got the fans now. I'm always air on at night because I like sleeping in a cool temp. Now, this is a conversation that Jake Shane had with Nick Jonas.
Noah
I saw that.
Fran
I like a low temp at night.
Ria
62.
Fran
62 is crazy.
Ria
Like Nick said. Doesn't. Doesn't break. It doesn't even go that low. At a certain point, it just says low.
Noah
That would be like. Like you're, like, shivering.
Fran
What I find arctic. A perfect temperature is like 68 sleeping. I can go 66.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And I can go lower to 66. But, like, in general, a 68 temp in your home. 68 is. Is. Yeah.
Ria
Is where I like to live in the winter. I just don't turn my heat on at night. That's really. And it does the trick. Like, it stays pretty chilly because that's all I can really do. I can't turn. There's no AC to be had.
Fran
Right.
Ria
But if I press on, it's only heat coming out of that thing.
Fran
It's beautiful today. The sun is beautiful.
Ria
No, it is beautiful. It is. But, you know, we get that fake spring. It is a gorgeous 70 degrees.
Fran
It's gorgeous.
Ria
I can only imagine the chaos that would be happening across New York if this was a Friday and Saturday.
Fran
Oh, my God.
Ria
It's a Monday and Tuesday, which feels cruel, to be honest. Feels rude. Feels mean. We're working.
Fran
It's a cruel, cruel, cruel summer.
Ria
Yeah, it does feel cruel that we could. We're. We're not frolicking quite yet because it's not the weekend. One week. And when the weekend comes around, it's gonna be cold again.
Fran
But we will be in Seattle and San Diego. It'll be a little rainy in Seattle, but it'll be so much fun. We have seen Hesseltine from Girls Gotta Eat, which will be so fun. So hilarious. Cannot wait to talk. Mary's got married. She was just. Singapore.
Ria
In Singapore, we talk about Singapore.
Fran
A lot of things to relate to, so that'll be so fun. And then in San Diego, we have Joey and Kelsey, which we did not announce on the podcast, but Joey Graz a Day and Kelsey Anderson will be joining us in San Diego. We still have a couple tickets on sale for both shows, so if you decide last minute that you want to come hang out, come join us. And reminder, if you're coming to the show, bring your signs. We have a great little segment where we check out all the signs. Always bring in pictures, please. They are always so creative. We were always so impressed. So we can't wait to hang out with you guys. So we'll be, you know, it might be cold here, but we'll be in sunny San Diego.
Ria
It's going to be a little rainy in Seattle. But I, like I said, as it should be, you know, that's just what I associate Seattle with. A little. A little drizzle.
Fran
Yeah, we're going to get our Bella on.
Ria
Yeah, exactly. Pretend we're Grey's Anatomy. You know what I was listening to when I was listening to Harry Season 2 weight loss? Do you hear a little Grey's Anatomy in the background of that song? Like, you know the Grey's Anatomy? Like the Grey's Anatomy jingle kind of. I hear it. I don't know why, but every time I listen to season two weight loss, it kind of like there's a faint Grey's Anatomy. The certain tone of the beeps are very similar to the Grey's Anatomy beeps.
Fran
Interesting.
Ria
Listen to it and let me know what you think.
Fran
I'll report back.
Ria
The other thing is, I do have to clarify that when we talked about the album on Monday, I said, oh my God, Harry's so funny. DJs don't dance no more. They sit. Like that's a hilarious line. They're sitting. They're not sitting. DJs don't dance no more. They said, yes.
Fran
And in the moment when you said that, I thought I was stupid and just said, haha. Yeah. Cause in my head I was like, oh, he says they said. I thought he said they said. But I thought that I was wrong. So I just played along. And then when I got home, it stuck with me. And I thought, I don't think that's not what he says. I don't think they say that.
Ria
It is not what he says. However, if you. I will say I make some pretty outrageous lyrical mistakes. This one I didn't feel as bad. When I listened again, I thought, look, it does kind of sound like he says sit. And I did feel validated because a lot of Girls in my DMs were like, okay. This whole time I also thought he was saying sit. Some people thought he he was saying they sweat. Oh, I thought I said they sweat. It's been was interpreted many different ways. People heard many different words.
Fran
And that's fair. Yeah, I felt that way about a lot of his lyrics, to be honest.
Ria
But I do have to look them up a lot of times because I think a lot of girls said they watched the Netflix thing when they had like subtitles on and that is where they were like, wait, that's what he's
Fran
Saying, I had that thought about Leon. When he says, Leon called.
Ria
I saw that on TikTok.
Fran
Who the fuck is Leon?
Ria
I said, my God, he was using a name there.
Fran
I thought he was saying love.
Ria
I thought he was just saying Lee E. Dawn or something. I don't even know what. It takes me about two to three weeks to really process the words he's saying when he puts out an album. You know, DJs don't dance no more. They said, who's that?
Fran
Well, I think he's saying, the people. They said, like, the people are saying that DJs don't dance no more.
Noah
I feel like.
Fran
Which is a thing.
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
A lot, though. Like, more so now because they're, like, not doing anything. They just, like, play music and run.
Ria
Well, talk today because they are saying. They're saying that they don't. So awkward.
Fran
Awkward.
Noah
Do you think, by the way, in that special, do you think Harry, when he goes over to that machine and he's like, I thought about this too.
Ria
What is he doing?
Noah
Actually doing anything.
Fran
He's. He's doing what a DJ does.
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
Which is nothing.
Fran
No, I think.
Ria
No, I think he's pressing. Button them. Do something.
Fran
Yeah, he's pressing buttons and he's mixing.
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
But I'm like, could you guys do that too? Like, probably.
Ria
Yeah. They told us what buttons to press.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And I don't think that. I think that's on purpose too.
Fran
Here's the thing.
Ria
I don't think he's mixing it free Willy nilly. I think, hey, you go over and this is. When you press these buttons.
Noah
He's not doing, like, Fred again over there.
Fran
No. I think that there are DJs that live mix, like, Fred again. And then there are DJs that have it already mixed and they, like, are like, boom. And they, like, make it seem like they're just in the moment.
Noah
That's what I hate. It's like, just. I'd rather you just admit, like, I'm not doing anything and just, like, play than, like, stand behind it and, like, pretend to press.
Fran
You gotta go with the Alex. Yeah. And. And here's the thing. I don't want to discredit these DJs. No, I do believe that they're doing stuff we just have no idea about.
Noah
I just feel like, you know, they're not.
Ria
They're not remixing things for the first time, but they're doing something.
Fran
Yeah. They're adding sound effects. Like. Like you had a show, a live
Ria
show, when you hit volumes going up or down.
Fran
Or you hit a cricket. Like, you're basically a dj.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
DJ Noah.
Noah
I should, like, have my headphone like this.
Fran
What would be your DJ tagline? DJ Noah Ives. Hive.
Noah
Mind your business, bitch. Bitch. Bitch.
Fran
It's DJ Noah Ives. Mind your business, bitch. Oomph.
Noah
Oomph.
Fran
Wow.
Ria
It does kind of work.
Fran
We kind of need to record that. Let's make a song. Dj.
Ria
No, Ives. Guys, could be, like, it works.
Noah
Maybe my DJ name would be my Snapchat name that I had in, like, Poison Ives.
Ria
DJ Poison Ives.
Fran
Guys, let's make a song. Bye, DJ Poison Ives. Mind your business, bitch. Oh, I'm writing the lyrics tonight.
Noah
All right?
Fran
And then we'll mix it and we'll do the whole thing, and we'll release a song.
Noah
Oh.
Fran
Oh, no deadline. This is just like in the upcoming.
Ria
No deadline. Maybe we don't need to put a time. Time restraint on this.
Fran
I'll put a time restraint on this. Our 1,000th episode. For our 1,000 episodes.
Noah
That's a lot of time.
Fran
It is.
Ria
I mean, well, Maybe there's some DJs out there that are listening that can help.
Fran
You know, we have a lot of musically talented people.
Ria
We do.
Noah
Yeah. Ron made the song for this.
Fran
Yeah. So, okay, for our thousandth episode, we will premiere mind your business. It's a tagline, but I also think that might be the name of the song Poison Ives.
Ria
No, I think that is the name of the song.
Fran
Mine by DJ Poison Ives featuring Fran. React.
Ria
So here's the thing. Is it. But is it, like, the song. Is it coming from Noah's perspective? Like, do you have to write lyrics that are, like, angsty?
Noah
Like, I feel like, don't ask me
Ria
about my personal life. Like, you could write a whole song about Noah being like, don't ask me on my personal life.
Noah
But TJ's. It's not like you need to write lyrics. It's a D. It's like you're just bumping.
Ria
To be honest, it could just be a mix, and every once in a while, it just goes, mind your business.
Noah
And it's like random. Random, like, sound. Sound bites from the podcast.
Fran
I have a vision here in my head in which I'm a ghostwriter and I have.
Ria
So you're writing a rap with a lack. With a. With a beat to it. Yes.
Noah
Yeah. Because it's not like.
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
It's not like, a club thing if it's. It has lyrics.
Fran
Yeah, I mean, it totally could be a club thing.
Noah
With lyrics. Yeah, I guess. Depends.
Fran
I think it'll be a good mix. I think there. I mean, there are a ton of, like, clubby stuff. Body on my.
Noah
Yeah, like Avicii.
Fran
Like, yeah, Avicii. We could be the next Avicii. Hey, sister remix.
Ria
Mind your business.
Fran
Hey, bitch. Yeah, all right, we'll work on that.
Noah
Throw some random, like, drops and they're like, gabby, Wendy's coming to Tampa. Just randomly throughout.
Fran
Yes, it's all working up here right now. The things are flowing.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Okay, stay tuned.
Ria
You guys have Birkins. Birkins.
Fran
Get a Birkin.
Arielle Kebbel
Bitch.
Fran
Bitch. Bitch.
Noah
This is gonna be like end of July and we completely forgot about it. Like, oh, fuck.
Fran
No, listen, I don't think Ria's gonna forget about it. I'm not. We have a six hour plane ride coming up tomorrow. Yeah, I have a lot of time writing. I will.
Ria
The lyrics will start flowing.
Fran
They're already flowing. It's like I can't even talk the rest of the podcast because I have so many ideas for these lyrics.
Noah
Yeah. This is episode 949, so.
Fran
Oh, okay. So we'll have 51 episodes, actually.
Ria
Crazy. We're so close. We are so close to a thousand episodes. It's so many episodes.
Fran
Oh, we'll premiere the song at our big thousand bash.
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
That we.
Ria
That we're saying we're having and have done nothing to plan for that.
Fran
It's.
Ria
And it's like, gonna be here so soon and then we're gonna. Ah, too late now.
Fran
It'll be in the studio.
Ria
Great for us.
Fran
Come on.
Noah
Us recording.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah, us recording.
Ria
Really not a party at all.
Noah
Not really. What we said originally when we were like, we're gonna throw a right.
Ria
A banger.
Fran
I still down like, well, because I want energy right now.
Ria
It's like, well, we could make our own party.
Noah
There's so much time to actually plan it.
Fran
Yeah. Like, you know, it's up to. We can throw a party.
Ria
Shit. I wanted to, like, you know, I would have. I would do it ourselves.
Fran
Yeah, we're gonna throw a banger. And if we don't, it doesn't happen. We can have a party in here. Yeah, we bring.
Ria
I'm just objectively, that's just not as fun as having a real party.
Fran
No. But we would still have a good time.
Ria
Yes, we have a good time everywhere.
Fran
Okay.
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah.
Fran
We are the party.
Ria
All right.
Fran
Let's get into the rest of the show.
Ria
Wait, I have breaking news for you.
Fran
Okay.
Ria
I had to cut you off.
Fran
Is it like. I'm gonna be stunned.
Ria
You're Gonna be stunned.
Fran
Okay, okay. Should I look at you or should I look the other way?
Ria
No, you should look at me. I don't know if you heard,
Arielle Kebbel
but
Ria
Donna Kelsey's renovating her house.
Fran
Oh, fuck you. Scratch your ass. I heard it before. What is this?
Ria
The funniest memes have come out of this.
Fran
I don't have Twitter.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah. So I do not know what anybody is talking, to be honest.
Ria
I've only seen. I'm not even on Twitter that much anymore. I'm just seeing the Twitter repost on Instagram.
Noah
Basically, TMZ posted an article being like, I don't know if they actually said break. Did they say breaking news?
Ria
It was like a TMZ exclusive.
Noah
It was like, tmz, I think it said TMZ renovating her, like, modest home.
Fran
See?
Noah
And they made it, like. So everyone started, quote, tweeting, like, I just fell to my knees.
Fran
Okay, I understand. Now the problem is I feel like out of touch because I've now had Twitter deleted off of everything that I have for over a year now. So, like, whenever something's been tweeted, it has been tweeted by someone else on my account if it has to be tweeted. I feel like I miss out on so much that people are talking to that I'm now, like, the person that's on, like, you know when people would say, you know, we see everything on TikTok before people see it on reels.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
That's how I feel like I've been living where, like, I find out things days later about memes that are going on. And I. I saw you guys talking about this in our group chat, and I was just like, I'm feeling left out.
Ria
Well, to be honest. And I didn't even really go onto Twitter to look. I was just seeing them being re shared on Instagram. Like, the Empire State Building tweeted last night, congrats to Donna Kelsey modeling her modest floor at home. Because at tmz, this was the graphic exclusive. Travis and Jason Kelsey's mom, Donna, remodeling her modest Florida home.
Noah
Donna Kelsey agreed to an eight year, $80 million deal with Lowe's.
Ria
This is like this situation for TMZ learning about Donna Kelsey's remod.
Noah
Dad, do you remember the contractor who won the bid for Donna Kelsey's remodel? It's just like this meme.
Fran
Oh, my God.
Ria
Jason Kelsey retweeted. Said breaking. Sources confirmed Donna Kelsey's eldest son watched 2 hours of Bluey yesterday.
Noah
This the famous, like, Obama Picture.
Ria
Yeah, that's what I just showed. I just showed her that one too. This one's a retweet, and we're supposed to just go out and do errands and head to work. Like any of this is fucking normal.
Noah
Donna Kelsey has decided on triple French doors. The master.
Fran
Oh, my God. Now this is. This is especially funny. Coming off the heels of, like, waiting for Travis Kelsey's. Is he returning?
Noah
People were saying, like, oh, obviously he's returning. He has to pay for the rematch. And then who. They signed that last year Seahawks running back yesterday. And they're like, he must. He must have heard about the Donna Kelsey.
Fran
Oh, my God. That is funny.
Noah
When Meryl Streep gets an Oscar for playing Donna Kelsey in the film about her renovation breaking.
Ria
A sneak peek of Donna Kelsey's newly renovated house is exclusive. Is expected to be featured in the upcoming Avengers Doomsday.
Fran
Oh, my gosh. I think the Meryl Streep one is
Ria
the funniest, funniest one to me. The merit is so funny.
Fran
That is so funny.
Noah
Nonstop. Rumor has it Katy Perry delayed the release of her upcoming single due to Donna Kelsey's home renovation.
Fran
Wait, guys, I have one. How does she know Shea feel about this? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes.
Ria
Exactly. Like, I'm getting it now.
Fran
I get it.
Ria
Human history will be divided into before and after this moment.
Noah
This one is just like someone tweeting about Joe Burrow and Jessica album spot. And they're like, okay. And Donna Kelsey is getting her home renovated.
Fran
Oh, isn't it fun when the Internet bands together for something like this?
Ria
It really is, because. And then you read the article. It's hysterical too, because it's like someone just screenshotted part of the article that said the documents show Donna's hired a company to replace nine windows and six doors at the home. Groundbreaking.
Noah
I like, this is clearly a Taylor Swift, like, fan account. The way Donna Kelsey's renovation made more noise in Harry Styles new album.
Ria
Getting tired of living through major historical events.
Fran
Oh, my God. That is funny.
Ria
I just worked on this story for a year, and he just tweeted it out. Oh, God. It's just really. It's endlessly funny. Really.
Fran
It is.
Noah
Yeah. No, I was, like, high last night just literally scrolling my Twitter reading all this.
Fran
This is me looking at you guys both on your phone right now. I know. Like, all right, guys, put your phones down.
Noah
It's just never ending.
Ria
Like, it is never ending. It's never ending. But it's so funny.
Fran
That is funny.
Ria
Wow, she must Just be like, what?
Fran
She's probably so confused about what's happening.
Ria
Yeah. I don't know. Something about. It's just, like, her modest Florida home.
Fran
Okay.
Ria
Sources say she's replacing nine doors. And when, like, it's funny because then
Noah
TMC tried to come out, like, oh, the Internet's so funny.
Ria
Like, posted. Oh, you guys got us, like, all. Here's the best meme.
Noah
But it's like, they put that out, like, not as a joke.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Like, they were seriously, like, this is breaking news.
Ria
People were resharing that being like, we're not laughing with you. We're laughing at you.
Arielle Kebbel
We're.
Fran
We're actually making fun of you.
Ria
We're laughing at you. Not with.
Fran
Yeah, they probably had a bad day at teams either. Like, great.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Great. Who posted this for.
Noah
It's like 450. Are you. We all got to stay here all night now.
Ria
Oh, because Donna's revenue is renovating modest Florida home.
Noah
Who's leaking that information
Arielle Kebbel
everywhere?
Fran
You know, listen, that is a major leak.
Ria
Travis wanted whoever Travis wanted to distract from his big announcement.
Fran
Yeah. You think whoever's coming back got that one? Got a promotion?
Noah
What if this was a huge smokescreen and Taylor and Travis just got married this week or something?
Fran
Oh, my God. You know what? You're on to something.
Ria
Something.
Fran
They're getting married. She's renovating it for their wedding. Yeah, that's the story.
Noah
Start the renovations the week of the wedding.
Ria
These doors and windows are crucial to hiding them before their wedding.
Fran
Yes. Oh, my God. That is funny. All right, let's get into the topics for today. It has officially been announced that Katherine Hahn was cast as mother Gothel in the Tangled live action remake. There's a new Baywatch coming to Fox starring Brooks Nader, Noah Beck. Mark Ballas joins Whitney Levitt in Chicago. On Broadway, Dak Prescott and his fiance broke up on their joint bachelor bachelorette trip.
Ria
Football news. And I know maybe something we wouldn't cover, but just the idea of when I hear people that break up on their bachelor bachelorettes, it's.
Fran
It's stunning to me. Yes. Something happened, and we need to know.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And hilarious Andy Cohen talking about the Southern charm guys being out to dinner with John Mayer on his radio show just got a good giggle out of me. We have a great interview with Ariel Kebbell, who we just talk about some of the most iconic movies of our. Of our time that we love so much. And Popcorner will be saved for next week because today's episode will have trivia because we do not have an episode on Friday. Now listen, we would love to give you guys an episode while we're traveling but honestly it's just not able to be done with the way that we're traveling and our producers trying to get everything done. It's, it's not feasible. So we'd love to do it but we can't. So there will be no episode on Friday. But if you're following along with our book club, we will have an episode of the same page book club out this Thursday for the first half of the favorite. So that can kind of fill the void for our no Friday episode. And like I think I mentioned trivia trivia on today's episode as well. So we got a jam packed episode. So let's get into it.

This is amazing news. Katherine Hahn has been cast as Mother Gothel in the live action remake of Tangled. And we immediately. We've already done enough singing in the beginning, so I'm not going to do it now.
Ria
No, we should do it again.
Fran
I don't think anybody wants to hear me, but you go for it.
Ria
Mother Knows best.
Fran
Nailed it. Absolutely nailed it. And Kathryn Hahn will do even better than that, I would hope. Yes, I hope so too, because she was cast.
Ria
No, she's gonna be absolutely amazing.
Fran
Mother Gothel. Such a perfect casting because she is going to deliver what we want the most for this, which is amazing. First of all, comedic timing. Yes. And although I, you know, it's not necessarily funny, there is a comedy aspect to it because of how ridiculous it is.
Ria
And I think live action, there'll be a very physical element to Mother Gothel.
Fran
And Katherine Hahn is just so good. And so this is just, I think, top notch casting.
Ria
It really is. And I know that this has been talked about so much recently. She's been asked about it on red carpets. She's kind of not been able to say anything, but you could maybe so see a sort of twinkle in her eye, you know, like the way she's answered has been like, oh, wouldn't that be. Wouldn't that be something kind of thing? And then she posted on Instagram a collab with Disney Studios her outfit of the day, and she's in a Mother Gothel T shirt confirming that she will be in this movie. And I think most fans will rejoice. I know that there's a part of the Internet that really wanted the voice actress who voiced Mother Gothel to play her also in the live action, which I know a lot of people root for. A lot of the times it's like, well, why not just have it be that person? I feel like that can be tricky because then it's like, well, then why not cast all of them? You know, why not have it be all the. I mean, granted, I don't think that would work, but I could have seen how this would work. And I'm spacing on her name and I want to get it right. It's Tangled is Donna Murphy voices Mother Gothel. And like, she could certainly play her in live action. Like the. It's there for sure, so I get it. But at the same time,
Fran
I, you
Ria
know, I can't complain about a Kathryn Hahn casting at all. I think she's perfect for this too. And it does feel like where the, the age range they were going for with Rapunzel and Flynn Rider and everything. Like, this just makes. This makes a lot of sense.
Fran
Now, we both agree that Katherine is the most perfect casting for this. Eight plus plus plus Wouldn't want anybody else. Yeah, I would not. But if you could pick somebody else for this role, who do you have in mind? I mean, I. I think I literally
Ria
would have picked Donna Murph. Like, when I saw the. Yeah. Just. Well, because, you know, when you just get persuaded by people in the comments on TikTok and everybody. I saw. I've seen videos because people have been speculating about Katherine Hahn and the commenters yelling about it should be Donna Murphy. And when I did more of a deep dive into. Into Donna Murphy, I was like, oh, this could totally work. I could. I could see this. But I do think Kathryn Hahn makes a lot of sense. I think maybe they could have gone like Idina Menzel.
Fran
My thought. Selma Hayek.
Ria
Ooh, yeah. Yeah, I see that.
Fran
To me. Mm.
Ria
I could totally see that, but totally
Fran
could see Idina Menzel. I think that's a good call as well. Yeah.
Ria
I'm just thinking of who can really hit that Mother Knows Best, you know? And I just. I hear. I hear it out of Katherine Hahn, and I think maybe because we've also seen so much witchy stuff from her recently in the Disney universe.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
That it makes sense. I'm like, yeah, she's got the hair, she's got the vibe. She can do the whole thing. We were like, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.
Fran
This is gonna be so good. I can't wait. And now, especially since I guess she's
Ria
not technically a witch. Mother Gothel.
Fran
She's just evil Mom.
Ria
Yeah. She's just.
Fran
She's.
Ria
She's using Rapunzel's powers.
Fran
She's evil. Witchy vibes.
Ria
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Fran
But this is just Snaplaws. Snaplaws is witchy. We are thrilled with this. Can't wait. And thank God that I've seen Tangled now, because we were talking about this casting news, and I just was like.
Ria
And I was excited. You were like, that's cool.
Fran
I'm excited for Kathryn Hahn to be in anything. Yes.
Ria
Same.
Fran
So it's like excitement all around. But. But after seeing it and it being so high up there for me, I'm like, yes. You know, she's. Noah immediately was like, let me change the levels.
Ria
She's really skyrocketed to the top of guests I want to interview sit in our motherfucking chair.
Fran
Katherine Hahn. Sorry. Like, no need to be so proud.
Ria
I really would love to have her on Our show.
Fran
I would too.
Ria
She's such an icon.
Fran
She is. We've really had a great day of back to back guests this week. We have. And we talk about it. We. With Ariel, that we also had Jenna Dewan that'll be aired later on.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And just like fulfilling our. Our younger selves as well. But Katherine Hahn, I just love to hear stories from her. She was so good with Amy Poehler, so we'd love to hear more. So, Katherine Hahn, this is your formal invite to come on the show. Maybe when you want to promote Tangled, which will be in three.
Ria
Yeah, that'll be a while. But perhaps for the studio season two.
Fran
Yes, perhaps the studio season two.
Ria
That'll be out sooner than Tangled. Yeah.
Fran
Catherine, we'd love for you to sit in our chair, please.
Ria
Come, Sid. Mother, Mother, Mother.
Fran
We have a spot for you. Moving on. Baywatch making a little comeback. Baywatch, get your boobies out. Cause Baywatch is your boobs and back butts. Yeah. Just a lot of bees.
Ria
And your bathing suits and your bods.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And your. That's it. Beaches.
Fran
Beaches. A lot of bees.
Ria
Yeah. I just. I was trying to come up with some sort of butts. Biceps.
Fran
Biceps.
Ria
Abs. Not, you know, doesn't. But you need abs.
Fran
You do need abs.
Ria
You need.
Fran
You need washed forward ones.
Ria
You need abs too.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. So they're bringing Baywatch back with, you know, there's still some casting to be announced, but Brooks Nader and Noah Beck have joined the show. It just makes sense.
Ria
Couple of hotties.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Throw them on there.
Fran
Brooks Nader being in Baywatch, it actually brings me right back to her Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover where she is rocking the, you know, Baywatch red, baby.
Ria
That red one piece.
Fran
That red one piece. It fits. She's now got the blonde bombshell hair. She's got the bombshell boobs.
Ria
Yep.
Fran
Like, this is a perfect cast.
Ria
She's got it all, really. It makes so much sense. It's like one plus one equals two. It's like put. They're gonna cast a bunch of hotties for this show, of course. And I'm curious to see who else they add onto it and like, what exactly the vibe of it's gonna be. Is it like a 30 minute thing? Is it an hour? Is it the same characters?
Fran
They are bringing back? They are bringing back some characters.
Ria
Okay. Like David Hasselhoff.
Fran
I don't know about him. Specific. Here's the thing. I never watched Babe. Never watched.
Noah
Did you watch the Zac Efron movies?
Fran
Yes, I have seen the zac Efron Alexander 1. The rock was in that as well.
Arielle Kebbel
Yes.
Fran
Right.
Noah
What do you think? That has to be insanely.
Fran
I'm gonna guess Priyanka Chopra was in that, right? You're guessing 4%. Yeah, I'm gonna give it.
Ria
Oh, Baywatch.
Noah
The Movie.
Ria
The Movie.
Noah
2017 Movie.
Ria
1923.
Noah
18.
Ria
What did I say?
Fran
1919.
Ria
Here. Here's what's sad.
Fran
Alexandra Daddario has a run of having single. She is single now. Yes,
Ria
single.
Fran
Congrats, Noah.
Ria
Yeah, maybe I saw her in a sweetgreen once.
Fran
You did? And she was like in New York. She was fighting with.
Ria
With her. Perhaps her boyfriend. I mean, that was a while ago.
Fran
Yes, I remember this.
Ria
Yeah. Well, now they were having a audible argument.
Noah
He never treated her right.
Fran
Never. You know who would Poison Ives?
Arielle Kebbel
DJ B.
Fran
Mind your business.
Ria
Let me take you out of her little spin.
Fran
She has a run of having some low scoring movie roles on Rotten Tomatoes. Alexandra Dadaria.
Noah
What else?
Fran
Who is a great actress.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
But the movies that she's done, I think have.
Noah
True Detective was good. That's not a movie. San Andreas.
Fran
White Lotus was good.
Ria
San Andreas probably has a terrible rotten tomato. Oh, that's actually better than I thought.
Fran
She was in. The one that I'm thinking of is she did sort of like over. Yes.
Noah
The layover that has a fifth. Doesn't even have a Ronda Square. That's how you know it's bad when it doesn't pop up. Like.
Ria
I don't even remember. I don't even know what that movie is.
Fran
It's what, Kate Upton. Correct.
Noah
Wait, it has a zero percent.
Fran
Yeah, I think that's what I was thinking of when I was saying 18 reviews.
Noah
Zero percent.
Fran
Okay.
Ria
Well, not that many reviews.
Noah
Her and Kate Upton.
Fran
Yeah, that was a Kate Upton one. Who's the guy in that? That is.
Noah
What's his name? Matt Barr.
Fran
Matt Barr. Was he in One Tree Hell? Matt Barr.
Noah
Matt Bar.
Ria
Oh, is that.
Noah
He's an American pie. One of the American.
Ria
Yes. Yeah, you're right.
Fran
Derek.
Ria
And one that is Derek.
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah.
Fran
I was terrified of that man. Yeah.
Ria
Remember when we saw him in the airport? Yeah.
Fran
Wow. Oh, my God.
Ria
We saw all these people. She was in Sweet Green. This guy was in an airport.
Noah
Alexandra Darwin. She was in Hall Pass. That's a good movie.
Fran
Yeah, Hall Pass is a good one.
Ria
So they actually have a bunch of people cast for Baywatch already. Stephen Amell,
Fran
Robbie Amell's brother.
Ria
The one that was Steven. He's the one that was in. In the Arrow.
Fran
Right.
Ria
Wasn't he?
Noah
The Arrow he was in Suits. La.
Ria
Yeah. This guy.
Fran
Yes, yes, I have him pulled up.
Noah
Yeah, well, he doesn't really look anything.
Ria
Arrow. He was an arrow. I mean, they kind of do. He's also a handsome man. He's in the flash.
Fran
He looks good with a shaved head.
Ria
Well, he's going to be in Baywatch with a shaved header. Yeah, it says he plays the re. He will be playing the lead role as well as Jessica Belkin, Hassi Harrison, Thaddeus Legrone, and original series star David Hasselhoff. I wish it was Hasselhoff. David Chikachi who returns as Cody Madison.
Arielle Kebbel
David.
Ria
I gotta see which one that is. I feel like I could see what they all look like, but I don't,
Noah
you know, the names, see, Brooke Snyder and Kevin Costner.
Ria
Oh, this guy.
Fran
I did see that. Yes.
Ria
Yeah. So he's coming back.
Fran
Yeah, there was Deuxmoi posted that too. Brooks Nader and Kevin Costner having some conversations, which I'm just like, well, let me tell you something.
Ria
Kevin Costner talking about Brooks Nader is the least shocking thing I've heard.
Fran
No, it's. It's just the visual of it was cracking me up because it's also like cozy up. When they were like, they were kind of just sitting there chatting. But I'm like, yeah, yeah. The bodyguard, he was.
Ria
No, please. Yeah, yeah. And friend. You know the vibes you've been getting from Kevin Costner these days? It's like he's, he's, he's locking eyes with Brooks from across the room. Like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna sit and talk to you.
Fran
Come to papa.
Ria
Brooks will play the series regularly.
Noah
Creepy.
Ria
Well, probably is.
Fran
That's exactly what I was trying to hit there. Yeah.
Ria
Oh, you want to be an actress?
Fran
No.
Noah
You know, you like that show Baywatch? I could probably.
Ria
I just get, I get bad vibes from him these days. I know people love him. But after that whole shit with the, with his wife and with the divorce and the way it ended on Yellowstone, all this shit. Brooks will be playing series regular Selene, the sharp tongued captain of the Zuma beach lifeguard. So she and Baywatch captain Hobie Buchanan, who is Stephen Amell, have a very different approach to saving lives. That is a constant source of friction.
Fran
Mmm. This will be fun. I'm gonna describe this as a fun show. Will it be somewhat bad? I believe yes. But I also think it will be bad good. Like people will be tuning in.
Ria
Yeah. So Steven's character is the son of Hasselhoff's character. Yeah. The series picks up years after the original Baywatch and the Wild Child. Why is his name Hobie? Hobie Buchanan is now a captain, following in the footsteps of his father, Mitch.
Fran
They couldn't just go Kobe.
Ria
I mean, they couldn't pick any other. Any other name.
Fran
Right, Hobie.
Ria
Hobie's world is turned upside down with a daughter he never knew. Charlie shows up at his door wanting to continue the family legacy of being lifeguard.
Fran
Runs in the fam.
Ria
It sure does. Well, they had a massive open casting call. 2,000 people showed up.
Fran
Can you imagine the way that people showed up for this casting call?
Ria
Yeah, I know. They're. They're filming in LA this spring.
Fran
Fun. Yeah. I'm sure we'll get some good behind the scenes shots of that, but I'm
Ria
a Noah Beck also, you know, not surprising. He's got the abs.
Fran
Yeah. I am just imagining people showing up to this casting call like they're to the gods. Their shirts are off their tits up to their lips, like the whole nine.
Ria
Yeah. They're like, I got it.
Fran
Yeah. I'm Pamela Anderson. That's how they're showing up.
Ria
Yep.
Fran
All right, moving on. More casting news. Yeah, more casting news. Mark Ballas joins Whitney Levitt for Chicago. He will be playing Brian Flynn, I believe.
Ria
Sorry, is that his name something Flynn? I think Brian Flynn. I think you're right.
Fran
You looked at me, I don't know Chicago.
Ria
Because you didn't say with much confidence. So that made me question it.
Fran
Billy Flynn.
Ria
Billy Flynn. That's why. Close.
Fran
I had B. Flynn written down and I thought that in my head you
Ria
didn't want to write those.
Fran
I. I was like, B. Flynn. You'll remember. You'll remember.
Ria
And you know what? We went with Brian.
Noah
Close.
Fran
Close.
Ria
Billy Flynn.
Fran
Billy Flynn.
Ria
Yes. And they are re. They're only doing it for about a month.
Fran
April 3rd to May 6th. Yeah.
Ria
So got your tickets now?
Fran
Get your tickets.
Ria
Get your tickets now. I feel we all knew this was coming. There were some discussions people really wanted to happen. Seemed like maybe they were hinting at it. And then it seemed like Mark had denied it and was like, oh, I'm not. That's not happening. But they've been teasing a big surprise for the last week or so. And at a certain point it was like, this has to be it. You know, what else could it be now?
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
So that's amazing. I'm pumped for them. Great way to keep their, their chemistry going. And it's going to get lots of People to Chicago.
Fran
I agree. I actually really want to see this. I think that they are such a great pair. They have such great chemistry, and they're just so talented. And Mark is so unbelievably talented. So. Yeah.
Ria
I don't know the story of Chicago.
Fran
We've talked about this. Neither of us do, really. I've never seen the movie, but neither.
Ria
People love the movie.
Fran
Right. It's about somebody who wants to be a star.
Ria
Roxie Hart.
Fran
Roxie Hart wants to be. You know, she's a wannabe Chicago.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Although I learned that Chicago has nothing to do with Chicago. So. Like the victorious Chicago that we're thinking of. The song.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
I think after we talked about this, someone said to me that it has nothing to do with it, but it's set in Chicago. Yes.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
But you know the song in Victoria's when she's like, Chicago.
Ria
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chicago City.
Fran
That's inviting. I don't think that's in.
Ria
I. I don't think.
Fran
I don't think that's in this. This musical.
Ria
That's, like the only thing I think of.
Fran
Me too.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Maybe we'll have to see it so that we can know what it's. What it's like.
Ria
Yeah. Set in Chicago in the jazz age. The musicals Based on the 1926 play of the same name. Then journalist covering the city's courthouse beat. A satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice. The plot follows felons who manipulate their stories to develop celebrity status. It's been on Broadway for a long time.
Fran
It has.
Ria
The ongoing 1996 revival of Chicago is the longest running show currently on Broadway, holding the record as the longest running musical revival and the longest running American musical in Broadway history. It just. The lengthy run ranked second only to the Phantom of the Opera. And when that movie came out in 2002.
Fran
Phantom of the Opera.
Ria
No, no, sorry. Chicago, the movie I'd never seen before. Richard Gere. Richard Gere.
Fran
Oh, God. Richard Gere has.
Ria
That's a little. That's a little tease for trivia later on.
Fran
He's prominent in today's episode.
Ria
Yeah, that's a little tease. Never saw it. But that's the one where Renee. Renee Zellweger plays Roxie Hart.
Fran
Yeah. Well, congrats to Mark because this is awesome. He had been on Broadway before, so this is a return for him. And this is going to be so fun for the two of them to reunite. I'm sure we'll get so many fun tiktoks behind the scenes videos. And it's going to make people want to see the show even more so than they want to see already because people have been loving Whitney on Broadway.
Ria
Exactly.
Fran

So Dak Prescott is the quarterback of the Cowboys. Him and his fiance had a joint bachelor bachelorette trip and they called off their wedding. On the trip, they broke up. They sent an email when they got home to their fellow guests that we're going to accompany them at a Lake Como wedding. And I think just a month, I think the wedding was about to be in April, in April. And it has been called off. And now everyone's wondering what the frick happened on this bachelor bachelorette trip.
Ria
I. I'm dying to know the drama. The initial rumor was that they were fighting about prenup. Now they do have two kids together and I'm sure that's a, you know, big part of putting together any sort of any sort of prenup. But she did jump into the Instagram comments on a video of two it was actually LaShawn McCoy and Emmanuel Acho talking about it and she commented saying that this has nothing to do with the prenup. I hope we can put that rumor to rest now so that, you know, she said it wasn't that. But over the weekend that's what everyone was thinking it was. They were like, oh, they. It's definitely gotta be money. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Fran
To me, you don't break up on a bachelorette trip if it's about the prenup. Like, you guys are there together. You wouldn't like, mid trip, be like, you know what? We're never figuring out this prenup. We're calling it off. I know. I feel like some other fight must have happened at this party to cause this breakup. Like someone did something. Something was said.
Ria
Everybody on Twitter was saying it's because she wanted, like, half of his last. Last contract.
Fran
Wouldn't have that have been, like, figured out either before the trip or after the trip? Like, mid trip?
Ria
No, I don't know.
Fran
Call it off mid trip, if that's what it's about.
Ria
And I don't. I also saw people saying that that probably wasn't the case too. It's like, not that she has hundreds of millions of dollars because it's like the kind of contracts that Dak Prescott is selling, but that she is fairly well off herself and wouldn't be the type of person to go after half of his bajillion dollars that he has. But you never know. The. Like, you said their wedding was supposed to be on a Friday, April 10, and somehow TMZ got a copy of the email. So somebody snakey sent this around. Here's the problem.
Fran
Same person who's done a Kelsey's renovation.
Ria
Here's the problem. When events get canceled like this, though. It's like you get invited to this wedding, and then you go, holy shit. And you send a screenshot to, like, your friends, and you're like, oh, my God, the wedding's canceled. And then that friend sends a screenshot to that friend, and then that friend's like, I'm sending this shit to tmz. And of course they get their hand on it.
Fran
What possesses somebody, though, to go, I'm sending this into the media?
Ria
Like, yeah, I don't know.
Fran
I don't. Who?
Ria
Like, I know.
Fran
You know, like, you get a little
Noah
nice little paycheck, you know, probably.
Fran
So they pay for. So you say, oh, I have this. And then they offer it.
Ria
They probably pay for it.
Fran
Like, you don't just send it. You go, hey, I have this. And then they offer money.
Ria
Yeah, I would think so. It's like if you have pictures you could sell, you know.
Fran
Right, right, right, right.
Ria
Kind of thing. So Sarah Jane. Sarah Jane's rep told people on Monday that she and the star quarterback are Quote, both heartbreak. Heartbroken that they're not getting married. She also claimed their breakup was mutual and deny reports that a big argument or blow up caused the split. Which has got to be hard. I don't know. Like, that's. That's why I'm like, what happened? They got two kids. They're on this bachelor Bachelorette. Even on, like, I don't know, even if you're having issues. They got. They must really be exploited on the trip, because on a trip like that, I think that's easiest to fake, that everything's okay.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
The thing is, unless it's not.
Fran
It's always so funny when you hear, like, they are both heartbroken that they're not getting married and you're like, not that heartbroken.
Ria
Or if they weren't, if you would
Fran
be getting married, like, you're not that heartbroken that you're not getting married because you're not getting married for a reason.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
So it is so interesting. I just think crazy, initially when everyone heard, like, you know, broke up on the trip, everyone was like, something happened on this trip. But they're keeping that under locks right now for whatever actually happened.
Ria
The prenup is the easiest thing for
Fran
people to just, like, you know, because
Ria
Dak has signed some pretty fucking crazy contracts.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And, God, you know, a Lake Como wedding. I feel bad for all the guests. That's a big trip that they probably all had planned.
Fran
If they saw their one month away, they're probably like, you know what? Should we still go book a hotel?
Arielle Kebbel
Yep.
Ria
Yeah. The rumor is that Dax spent the last few months. Because this is what they were talking about in the video that Sarah Jane commented on was that the rumor is that Dax spent the last few months pushing hard for a rock solid prenup to protect his contract, and she flat out refused to sign it. That's when she had said, nothing to do with that. And they're young. Their daughter's only. Their second daughter's only nine months.
Fran
So young.
Ria
Yes. Like, just.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
They love their girls and they're committed to raising their children together in the most loving and positive way. It's still shocking for them since this happened so recently and they asked for privacy while they sort everything out. Crazy. And it was also crazy. She posted all these pictures from the Bachelorette. They're up on her feed. But it's like, it's her and her girls, and it's like, I love my friends. Which is fair. Like, she still loves her friends and probably still had fun. But at some point they were like. She's like, I'm not getting married.
Fran
She's like, actually, this trip is to announce everybody that the wedding has been called off, Right.
Ria
My guess, too, is, like, you post that because you're like, damn, at least I have my girls with me. Like, the caption was, I truly believe you can get through anything in life as long as you have really great friends. I love these girls so much.
Fran
There you go.
Ria
So it's like they still were having. They were having as much fun as they could. She had her girls there to help, you know, keep her happy. But just the timing of it all is so interesting to me. So at what point are they like. Like, we're not getting married?
Fran
Right.
Ria
The beginning of the trip, the end of the trip, the flight home, the middle. And when they get home before they leave, and they're like, fuck it, let's go.
Fran
Anyway, I'm picturing some sort of. They're all hanging out as a group. Someone says something, and the two of them just get into some sort of. And they're like, this. We'll talk about this when we get home.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And then, boom. Wedding called off.
Ria
Crazy.
Fran
It is crazy. Moving on, Andy Cohen talked on his Sirius XM radio show about a. Very funny. And the thing about this is that I can literally picture this whole fucking interaction is he went to dinner with Austin, Craig, and Shep from Southern Charm and invited his dear friend John Mayer to the dinner. And they sat at dinner with John Mayer. And first of all, Andy said that the three of them got into it right away. They started fighting right away. And Andy was like, this is a classy establishment.
Ria
Like, right now, their voices were being raised.
Fran
And he said that Austin was like, you're right, guys. And like, the thing is, is that you could just picture this so clearly.
Ria
Andy Pate's a great picture. Yes.
Noah
And Austin, I can picture Andy being like, john, it'll at least be entertaining for me.
Fran
Right? John, just come. You'll be entertained. John Mayer then shows up to the dinner and basically tells the three of them after Austin asks, like, what do you. About us? John's like, I don't understand your rhythms.
Ria
I don't.
Fran
I don't understand your speech patterns. I don't get the way you guys are basically aliens. And he. And. And. And not that he's not interested.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
But he just doesn't get it and
Ria
felt like he was just looking at a different species.
Fran
Let me say that is the perfect way to describe the three of them. If you've ever Been to dinner with them because it is true. Following their stories or the way that they speak, they are, truly speaking, in, like, reality TV world talk.
Ria
Well, when they get the three of them together, it's like they really, you know, it's. That. That's their world.
Fran
Right. And. And as. And people who are not in that are looking at this like, this is how you guys are.
Noah
Credit to them though it seems, though, they. They act the same way whether the cameras are on or off.
Fran
Right.
Noah
Because I saw, like, some clip from a recent episode pop up my TikTok where Craig and Austin were going out back and forth, being like, you're different for the cameras and. But it seems like they act the same.
Fran
It seems that way. But then Andy was like, they. They've done their job as reality TV people for, like, someone to sit back and be like, you guys are the most interesting people that I've, like, been around, basically. Yeah. And not in a good or bad way, but just in a way that I don't understand you, which makes you want to watch a show.
Ria
You know, it's. It's. That is so true. And I guess also when John had sat down, he was asking them a lot of questions about the show. And, you know, how they. How they film it. Are they all in a house? Like, what's just, like, the layout of their show and that Craig described filming Southern charm, like. Like filming a movie. And Andy was like, what are you talking about?
Fran
My favorite thing out of that interaction is Andy getting a taste of Craig talking to somebody that isn't him. And how Craig would describe filming a reality show to other people.
Ria
Right, Right. Because that is. I could literally envision, like, filming a movie.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
And you're. And you're. And you're just like, yeah, okay. You know, you're yesing him, but you
Noah
don't understand walking by a table at a restaurant and seeing, like, that group of people sitting together. I also think that in my mind, like, John Mayer kind of almost fits in, like, looks wise with the three of them. Like, if I walk by them, they're all, like, in their 40s. Are they all in their 40s?
Ria
No, no, not late 30s. Not crazy.
Noah
But they all kind of, like, have a similar. Like, all tall guy, like, similar look like he could fit in on that show.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. They all talk so much that I can only imagine. Right. But I can imagine John being the quietest person at that table, 100%, to be honest.
Ria
I can just imagine Shep telling one story and John Mayer being like, Blown away. Like, if. If. If Shep shared any of what he was telling me on this plane to John Mayer, John Mayer's gonna be like, what?
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
So it's just plain entertainment. And the fact that not only was this all happening, but at the same time, Julia Roberts and Diane Sawyer, like, having dinner at the table next to them, and they all get to just, like, meet Julia Roberts. And Andy had said, to their credit, they are all Southern gentlemen. You know, they all stood up. They. They properly introduced themselves. Julia Roberts. I'm like, yeah, of course. But just what a. What a dream night for those guys. They're like, ah, we're having dinner with John Mayer. We're meeting Julia Roberts.
Fran
They were probably like, Ms. Julia in that situation.
Noah
If I was John, I'd be like, damn. Cause it's like. Like, Julia's with Diane Sawyer. And it's like, oh, who are these people? Oh, these are my friends Craig Austin and Shep from Southern Charter.
Ria
Roberts already? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. Maybe not, like, not an avid viewer, but she has, like, seen it because she does watch some Bravo shows. She's been on Watch Happens Live. She's talked about it before.
Fran
Did you see Christina Applegate talk about. Unfortunately, her Ms. And said that, you know, her pain is always at an 8, but she said, Bravo brings it to a 1. She was like, thank you, Andy Cohen, because I just put on Bravo. Yeah. And to think about the amount of celebrities that are watching Bravo shows and. And do know Craig, Austin and Shep like this.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
It's just phenomenal.
Ria
It's just pure entertainment. Like, I wish I could be a fly on the shoulder of John Mayer for this entire interaction of just, like, really, what do you think of us hearing? Like, hearing. Yeah, it's just. It's just too good. And they are. When you get the three of them going, it is pure entertainment. So you just sit back and you. And you listen. And I've. And I got to say, it probably was incredibly entertaining because not only that, they just filmed the. The reunion and, like, tensions high. I think Andy was kind of saying about Craig and Austin. Like, it's so interesting that they can, like, go at it in the. In those settings, but then, like, be out together. He described it as a fraught relationship. So it's like, yeah, they have their issues, but then they can be out together. But they obviously still have a lot of feelings about each other, so it's kind of crazy.
Fran
I love the idea of, like, they really are. And listen, they're on reality tv, and so it makes sense.
Ria
I have been for a long time too, by the way.
Fran
They are, you know, they're very into themselves because their life revolves around them being on reality tv. But so much so for them to look at John Mayer and be like, so what do you think about us?
Noah
I was like, I just picture them saying that after like an hour of fighting. So what do you think about it?
Fran
So, like, what are you picking up?
Ria
Just like, explain. They explained the whole show to him
Fran
saying, I don't understand your rhythms is amazing. I want to use that going forward. I don't understand his rhythm.
Noah
I'm picturing like Craig Austin and Shep fighting and Andy Cohen and John Mayer just like making eye contact, like during it. Being like, what the fuck is happening?
Ria
And Annie's just like, this is what pays the bills.
Fran
Yeah. This is how I keep coming to all those dead and co concerts.
Ria
This is what pays the bills. The bills.
Fran
These guys. Yeah. Too good. I was eating that story. Yes. That's such a funny story. I'd love to hear more about that. But that wraps up today's topics.

Fran
All right, everyone. We are here with a very special guest. We are joined by actress Arielle Kebbel, who we now know is Kebbel. Not Cabel. Cabel, which I Have said my entire life because we have been big fans of you forever now. And I always. It just always flowed off the tongue, you know, Arielle Cabell, I think it's gorgeous. So you're debating changing it now? I had a conversation with my dad.
Arielle Kebbel
I was like, dad, I don't know. People are saying it. I'm kind of cool with it.
Ria
Where you're like, here's the thing. I'm not gonna correct them, but if they ask, I'll tell them what it is.
Arielle Kebbel
How much do we lean into this? You know? Ariel Cabell?
Fran
Yes. Yes.
Ria
You know, well, sometimes when you. You just have to stick to a pronunciation, though. It's so hard. It's like when or when somebody that's been doing this for a long time and they say, actually, you know, everyone's been pronouncing my name wrong, and I've never corrected them. You're like, what?
Arielle Kebbel
It's like, Rihanna. It was all a lie.
Fran
Like, Rihanna says her name's Rihanna.
Ria
And you're like, oh, no, no one's gonna do that.
Arielle Kebbel
I know, I know. But that's a funny point too, because the one name thing. So when I was growing up, I. I remember, like, when I first moved to la, I was like, oh, should I just be Ariel? You know? Cause I've always, like, loved my first name and, you know, mermaid, the whole thing. And my sister was like, no, you're not that important. Like, she, like, just shut it down. She's like, you know who has one name? Oprah.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Rihanna. Yeah. Okay.
Arielle Kebbel
I guess I'll never have one name.
Fran
Hey, you're that important to us, though.
Arielle Kebbel
But my sister's like, we're very close. She's not. She wasn't. You know, it was just like a sister moment.
Ria
Of course.
Fran
You need your family to humble you.
Arielle Kebbel
Everybody wants. Exactly, exactly.
Ria
And like, on now with social media, like, everybody wants the one name.
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah.
Ria
Handle.
Arielle Kebbel
Yes. Like, if you. There is an area.
Ria
And she is very popular.
Fran
So.
Ria
So.
Fran
Well, that's bullshit.
Ria
Yeah. I think about it all the time. Like, I always look at. There's. Who. The girl who has just. Francesca is like, this beautiful Italian model that has, like, a ton of followers.
Arielle Kebbel
And I'm like, with a name like
Ria
that, I'll never get it.
Fran
I thought I could get it because just Rhea, I feel like, is not very popular. But no, there's someone out there always, you know.
Arielle Kebbel
Oh, another one. Rihanna. Gosh. This whole. I used to say by one of my partners back in the day, used to, like, love Rihanna. And so we would always, you know, I do too, whatever. Anyways, I would always go, well, I'm air Re. Re. Elle literally was like, please never do that again.
Fran
She's like, you are not bad girl, riri.
Arielle Kebbel
So you see, I have people around me that just keep humbling me. I keep trying.
Fran
And it's like you tried to make riri happen and it wasn't going to happen.
Arielle Kebbel
So maybe Cabel.
Fran
Maybe that's.
Arielle Kebbel
That's what we got.
Ria
That could be the switch.
Fran
Yes. That's your thing. We're making it happen here. Yeah, it already happened.
Arielle Kebbel
Thank goodness.
Fran
We are so excited that you're here, though. You have been in some of the most iconic movies of all time that we are obsessed with, that we still watch every year to this day. So being able to talk to you is so exciting. I mean, I just saw that you went on Kaitlyn Bristow's off the vine, who. And she is a friend of ours. And you were talking about your auditions, which I found so interesting because you had said to her that it was like the first time you were really doing, like a deep dive on that, on your audition process for such iconic movies.
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah, well, she just. Yeah, like, they. She just kept. Yeah, she just. She asked me things that no one had really asked me. And I just. Cause I think people at this stage of my career, people talk about the projects themselves, but maybe not so much like the process of what it's like getting it or even just little things that I start to remember. As you get into an interview, things start coming back. So. Yeah, she like, good on her, man. She did a deep dive. But. Yeah, what was the question?
Fran
Well, I wanted to know more about being able to audition for those types of movies and Because I think we find it so interesting when we've seen someone like you be in such iconic movies. Like I said, John Tucker, Must Die, Aquamarine, things we love. But then finding out that you auditioned for Mean Girls, Freaky Friday, like, you're just like. You start placing you in these roles.
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah, there was one that just came to me. I auditioned for a Wes Craven movie. So again, when I first moved to
Fran
la,
Arielle Kebbel
his movies were like, it was a huge deal if you could get one of those movies, you know, it was like another way that you were just gonna like, pop and gosh, I wish I could remember. I'll have to go back and remember which one it was. But I got a call back, so I was going in to meet Wes Craven, Meet the Producers, and I, like, couldn't sleep the night before. I don't know why Wes Craven was, like, such, you know, an icon to me, but. And so I go in the room, and they're at this long conference table, and I'm on this side, and the casting director is coming towards me. And I can just see out of my peripheral, like, Wes. And then I don't know, like, 12 producers. And so I'm like, okay, just, you know, play it cool. Play it cool. And she's walking towards me, and of course, it all seems like it's happening in slow mo. My heart is pounding. And she goes to put out her hands towards me, and I just, like, grab her into this big bear hug. And in my mind, I'm like, he's gonna see how cool I am. Like, everyone loves me. I'm new in Hollywood. And then I kind of feel her do this on me. And I'm like, oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, no. Should I not have hugged her? What did I do? What did I do? And she comes back. She goes, okay, I'm just gonna put this microphone on you now.
Fran
Oh.
Ria
And she was just coming to make you.
Fran
She was coming to make you up.
Noah
She was just.
Arielle Kebbel
I was so nervous. And looking back on it, like, it's fine. Nobody cared. It's a sweet moment. But in that moment, I was so mortified, I bombed the audition. I left. I got in my. My mom was driving me around because I was 16. I think I was sopping. And I called my manager. I said, I'm never gonna work in Hollywood again. I was so hard on myself.
Ria
At what age were you, like, really starting to go on auditions?
Arielle Kebbel
That round of, like, the horror films, Freaky Friday, all that. I was 16.
Fran
Okay. Yeah.
Arielle Kebbel
Headed into 17. And I had said to them, or maybe I just turned 17, but I was between 16 and 17 when I was going back and forth LA Florida. And then I had said to them, let me go back and graduate early and I'll officially move January. And I was 17 then, and I turned 18 in February.
Fran
So had you always been interested in acting or how did it come about?
Arielle Kebbel
So actually, both my sister and brother were big in theater when I was growing up. And I was like the sports girl and. Which was fine. Cause I also loved horses. So I very quickly. You know, my mom jokes, she's like, I thought you were just gonna ride a pony around in a circle, you know? And like, day one, I was galloping around and like, this is what I'm meant to do, you know? And I think, you know, six months into It. I was horse showing, and, you know, two years later, I was number one in the state of Florida. I was just, like, driven. This is everything. And so it wasn't until I. You know, it's a very expensive sport.
Ria
I was a horse girl as well, growing up. Not. I was not never number one in my state, but I. But I.
Arielle Kebbel
Well, there's still time.
Ria
I was a. I rode from, like, second grade to high school English or what's. Yeah.
Arielle Kebbel
Where did you grow up?
Ria
New Jersey.
Noah
Oh, okay.
Arielle Kebbel
Oh, yeah. Big horse community.
Ria
Very big. Yes.
Fran
Very big.
Ria
So I get it. And you kind of get to a certain point where it's like you have to dedicate your entire life to it or stop.
Arielle Kebbel
Yes.
Ria
You can't really do it halfway.
Arielle Kebbel
Yes. And so I was very aware of money and expenses at a young age, because this was my passion, and it was so much. And I was fine. I would work at the barn. I would do whatever I could. And then eventually I had to quit. And I was. I was such a. I'm a person that needs to move my body, you know, like, for me, that's how I move my emotions. It's just. And so I immediately was looking for that sport that was gonna give me the same adrenaline rush that riding was giving me. And so I kind of did everything, you know, whatever, and then. But I always had acting in the back of my mind. But it was like my siblings thing. And then I was approached to start modeling. Actually, the first time was at my great grandmother's second wedding, which I always tell my family. I'm like, she's so cool. And they're like, they didn't love her second husband, but it's fine.
Ria
That was a big moment for me. But I love her.
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah, I love her.
Fran
You're like, that's so chic. It was her second wedding. Great grandma.
Ria
Yeah.
Arielle Kebbel
But I was approached in the bathroom about modeling. And I remember. The reason I remember this, I think I was about 12, was it clicked on that I could make money. I didn't care about the modeling part of it in that moment, but I was like, wait a second. I could start a savings account, and this could go to horses. And I immediately went to. I could have a farm. It was like I jumped like that. Was it the timeline.
Ria
I'm about to have as many horses as I want.
Arielle Kebbel
And so then modeling became commercial work. Cause Florida. And then commercial turned into, well, what's this character thing? Like, how do I build a character? And so then I actually found. My mom helped me find an adult acting class. Because there's not a lot of character class acting classes in Florida. It was all, like, commercial. And I drove two and a half hours a week, four times a week to Tampa to take this adult acting class. Lied about my age. I was, like, 14, 15. It was 18 and up, whatever. But I took it very seriously. And I actually learned a lot of, like, method acting and how to build a character. And so that was really when I was like, okay, this is my new timeline. And I love this because I just loved that class hooked me because the reading list was first spiritual books, then books on psychology, and then the third page was books on acting. And that right there hooked me because I just found it so fascinating. Like, I've always been so interested in people, and to be able to break down, to be able to bring spirituality to a character and psychology, and it just was, like, something I could really sink into. And then I always was like, and then this will be the farm, you know? So that was how it unfolded.
Fran
That's so interesting. I feel like I've never heard somebody describe the way they got into this being about another passion, like horses or really just the money aspect of, like, if I do this, I can have money to do my other dream.
Arielle Kebbel
That was what excited me about a savings account. I was like, I get it.
Ria
When do you think you fell in love with actually being, like, a working actor?
Arielle Kebbel
That's a good question. No one's asked me that. Like, that. Take that, Caitlin.
Ria
Hey, we're gonna text Caitlin up with us.
Arielle Kebbel
No, that's true. No one's asked me like that. And the reason I say that is because when I first moved to la, outside perception, of course, I'm doing Gilmore Girls right away. So it's like, I've made it. Yeah, I was a recurring, and so I never knew when I was getting booked again. And so, of course, it was a huge opportunity. I loved it. But I was also nannying, bartending, doing anything I could when I wasn't on set because I was terrified that I didn't know when my next job was. And I was 17, 18, supporting myself. And I remember the day. I think I had already done Soul Plane. I definitely. At American Pie, I had definitely done, like, a couple films and a couple TV shows. I think I'd already done svu. Like, I had built a resume already and or was on my way. And I remember I wasn't available to audition for something because I was picking up this sweet boy that I was nannying, and I really.
Fran
I
Arielle Kebbel
so Deeply got connected to this boy's emotional journey that I would 100%, if I told him I was picking him up, I would say no to an audition. It was just like, I told him I was picking him up. No. And I remember my manager getting really frustrated. Cause he was like, you have to decide. I can only do so much. There's no other time these people can see you. Do you want, like, what do you want? And I pulled over and I started sobbing. And I remember, like, I was actually physically shaking because I think it was doing something in my nervous system where it was like, you're gonna have to let go of whatever this safety net is. Because it was like I was filling my time with all these other projects to just, like, feel safe.
Ria
Yeah.
Arielle Kebbel
And I took a deep breath and I called him, and I literally said, okay, I'm ready. And that was the day I became a working actress. You're like, this is almost before that. I was fighting it a little bit.
Ria
Yeah, yeah. Cause it makes sense, too. I also think there's, like, it's such a field where there is such a fear. Kind of going into it first is like, am I. Is this really gonna work out? You kind of are always, like, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like, is. I'll do this now, but will the roles keep coming? And I feel like maybe you just had the lows and the lows.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Ria
There's always gonna be some sort of lull. But I mean, I'm sure after you kind of committed in that moment, just from seeing the projects you did after that, you really, like, locked in some amazing things pretty, pretty quickly, like, you know, like.
Arielle Kebbel
Well, I do feel like the universe responds when you're clear. That is like, something I've always really believed in is, like, when you're clear, there's a direct connection.
Ria
Yes. And like Rhea said, there were just so many things that we loved and. And AquaMarine just celebrated 20 years.
Arielle Kebbel
Can you believe it?
Fran
It's like my favorite movie of all time.
Ria
And you know what? We've gone back to back now, too, because we just had Jenna Dewan here. Jenna. And she. I haven't seen her in so long. Is it amazing? And we were like, oh, my God, this summer is 20 years since step Up. And we were like, oh, do you know?
Arielle Kebbel
She said, no, go ahead.
Fran
No, go ahead.
Arielle Kebbel
Then I'll tell you a funny story.
Fran
Keep going, Keep going.
Arielle Kebbel
Okay. So she and I did. Wait, hang on. Channing was doing she's the man while we were doing John Tucker Channing read off camera with me for Step up in the hotel room when I was filming John Tucker got down the line. They flew me from Vancouver to LA to test against Jenna Dewan for Step Up. Wow, she's such a beautiful soul. Before we went in, we were like, good luck. It was always good vibes. I literally remember at one point dancing next to her in the mirror and I was like, she's gonna get. I remember being like, they're definitely gonna
Fran
go with a real dancer.
Arielle Kebbel
Like, I was like, I'm good.
Noah
Ish.
Ria
Maybe there's another role for me in this one.
Arielle Kebbel
I always did want to be Britney Spears, but so she got it and then clearly, you know, Channing and but. And then after that I did the Grudge too with Jenna and so we were able to like laugh about it all. But that's. What a small world.
Ria
That is amazing. It really is. And that is so funny. So, so we were you filming John Tucker Must Die at like next to where they were filming she's the Man. Like, how was that? Yeah, okay.
Arielle Kebbel
Oh, this was crazy. It's actually really good.
Fran
These are literally some of my favorite movies of all time. I'm not kidding. I feel like I'm having an out of body experience because these are my favorite movies.
Ria
I'm like, oh my God.
Fran
Was this High School John Tucker Must Die. She's the Man. Like if you want to look past
Ria
are Maddie and you see that fake People magazine cover is readdressing.
Fran
She's the Man. Sebastian.
Arielle Kebbel
Wait, now I'm having an. You can't make this up.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Wait, what? That was her Halloween costume change.
Fran
Nobody has that in their office. No, no, no, we do, but we
Ria
fucking love she is the mad.
Fran
We do. Yeah, we do. These are like my favorite movies ever. So please continue. I want to hear all the stories.
Arielle Kebbel
I promise you I did not know that when I was talking about. That's crazy. Okay, okay, so it's a really good thing that Instagram didn't exist, right? Because there was about 20 of us and we just like moved as a herd. So it was like, it was this hotel called the Sutton Place. We call it the Slutton Place. It's a thing.
Fran
Epic.
Arielle Kebbel
They put everyone there in Vancouver and so the cast of she's the man, the cast of John Tucker were all in this hotel. We were all young, 20s, whatever. And just like we would go around like you would see us walking down the street in just like a line of 20, like we literally moved in a herd. We would go to A club together. We would go to dinner together. There's like a thing called Bellinis there that like the Frozen is like, you know, their little. I mean we're like, let's go for a Bellini. And there's like 20 of us. Like we would go visit their set, they would come visit our set. I mean it was atrocious.
Ria
But that's so funny. Cause it's like you're. It's like being in your own class. Like, it's like, oh, my class.
Arielle Kebbel
It was like summer camp.
Ria
It's the John Tucker. And then you guys have the she's the Man.
Arielle Kebbel
It was like summer camp. And then on the weekends, like we would all have a party in someone's hotel room and like people would bring guitars and like playing music. James, remember James from She's the Man? Who does he play?
Ria
Yes, the guy that has the big crush on. Yeah, yeah, James.
Arielle Kebbel
Wait, he's a Broadway guy now. James Snyder.
Ria
James Schneider. Wait, it's actually so crazy. Bring this up because he came up on my TikTok last night. No, he did on my for you page. His video because are we in the heck? Seriously? He went viral because now obviously, you know, he's, he's a bit older from, from his time when she's the Man. But he did his line of like. He did it. What does he say?
Fran
Wait, is it the cheese line?
Ria
No, no, no. He says, I gotta find it.
Fran
Where?
Ria
And he made this video, literally. It's just so funny that this came up in my on my Tick Tock like last night because everyone in the comments were like, oh my God, he did the line. Millennials. Joel scroll did dream outside.
Fran
Yeah. Yes, yes. That's it.
Ria
Yeah, that's him. Yeah.
Arielle Kebbel
That's crazy.
Ria
Which is so funny.
Arielle Kebbel
So that. So like at our hotel room party, playing guitar, that's when we were all like, dude, you can sing. Yeah, like other people can like sing.
Ria
You can sing.
Arielle Kebbel
And so that was like.
Fran
Yeah, right. You're not a fake singer. You really have it.
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah.
Fran
That is so insane. I don't think anybody knows that about she's the man and John.
Arielle Kebbel
I don't think I've really talked about it. I mean.
Fran
Yeah. That I'm like trying to wrap my head around that whole experience of just like.
Ria
I know because they talk a lot about like making John Tucker. Yeah. And like how he felt about it and all that.
Arielle Kebbel
What did he say?
Ria
He's talked about it on his podcast, like very much. Sort of feeling like he was there, but not Maybe as social with the group or feeling a little bit like
Fran
he wasn't at the hotel parties.
Ria
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. He definitely. I think he definitely was, but I think it was more like me. Like, I was always a pan Badger vibes.
Arielle Kebbel
I was always. Yeah. A fan. He. He's a brilliant guy. Yeah, he's a brilliant guy.
Fran
Yeah.
Arielle Kebbel
I think he. I think just Penn and Jesse are just two very different vibes.
Ria
I think that was kind of a lot. You know, it's like they were supposed to be brothers. I thought that was like. HE LAUGHS that it was kind of ridiculous that they were playing brothers.
Arielle Kebbel
How about the fact that what's his face was in it with one line and then he's like the star of Friday Night Lights, Taylor Kitsch.
Fran
Yeah. Yes.
Arielle Kebbel
He hit one line like, it's like, holy jama or something. Like.
Fran
Yes. He's with Jenny McCarthy.
Arielle Kebbel
Yes.
Fran
Oh, gosh. Oh, they're so good.
Ria
That was a movie that keeps getting brought up like, cuz people are like, oh, my God, what if they made another one? What if they made another one?
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah.
Ria
And it's been brought up so many times like, what. What are your thoughts on. On that? Or is it something that, like, can't be redone or.
Arielle Kebbel
Well, I sold the sequel to Fox, so it can be redone. Well, not redone, added to. So I really felt. I mean, obviously we had such a great time, but also, as a cast full of women at a very specific time in our industry, I had always had a dream of producing a sequel and really bringing the women back together and really going like, it's our turn. For a number of reasons, like, I got your back, I got your back. Let's do this together in a new way. And what was great about it too was there's two kick ass producers at Fox that we were working with that we sold it to. And so it was like, it just felt so great to be writing this sequel, working with women at Fox, telling the story. We had a female writer, so it was just like. And also it was the first thing that I sold. I started producing a few years ago. It was the first thing I sold. So it was just very exciting. Writer strike happened, it got shelved for now. It's an existing ip. I really do think, should the time. Should alignment and divine timing happen again? I think it could always happen because the script is there, people are excited about it, but in this moment, it's not happening. But I also say, like, you know, I mean, literally what helped sell the project in the first place was the fact that I went on TikTok and was like, hey, guys, look at all the people that don't care, you know? And, like.
Ria
And, like, that's worked for so many. So many projects.
Fran
And that's the thing.
Arielle Kebbel
And, like, I would actually. I told Fox, like, the personal stories that people. I mean, look at, like, what it means to people. And I'm like, this isn't a joke. This isn't something like, you actually, like, I take this to heart. This is why we do what we do. There's a real impact that's to be taken seriously. And so I just always say, too, like, to the people listening, because at the end of the day, whenever the time is right and whenever people on TikTok decide to go for it, they have the power.
Fran
We all know that for sure. And I think even talking about it, bringing awareness, because I think there's a lot of people that didn't even know that that was happening. Now hearing about it again, I also kind of.
Arielle Kebbel
It's a weird thing when you're producing something because it's like, you can say stuff at a certain time. You can't say stuff at a certain time.
Fran
Right, right.
Arielle Kebbel
But now I'm just running my mouth.
Fran
Exactly. And you might as well, because that's how things get going.
Arielle Kebbel
Don't get me. I'm just being honest.
Noah
No.
Fran
Well, we're rooting for it. I think that would be fantastic. And the way that you described it, just, like, having all the women together, female writers, like, all of that.
Arielle Kebbel
There was two projects. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. I mean. Yeah. And I'm so happy for everyone, too, right now. I mean, look at Brittany. Like, it's just such a. It's a very. Like. It makes my heart happy that it's a good time for. For women out there.
Ria
Yeah. Yeah.
Arielle Kebbel
Absolutely. Yeah. But I also had that feeling about Aquamarine. There was things, too, that I was like, you know, I would really. I know exactly what I would do to make it an even more positive experience. Round two, you know, so we'll see.
Ria
Just the ones we. It's just been so fun getting to talk about these movies that just, like, really shaped who we are really shape
Fran
and also, like, heal something in you when you put them back on, like, every once in a while.
Ria
Really was like. Like, Aquamarine was the movie where me and my best friend would watch it all the time. We were like, this is us. Like, you are Emma Robert. I used to do that with my sister. And we'd be like, and every time we watch Be like this, it's. We'd be like we're watching ourselves.
Fran
Yeah, this. There was one summer we watched it every single day and it just never got old. Like I. It's all of those movies, they never get old.
Arielle Kebbel
You know what I love most about that movie is it's the pre teen era and that is such a special time. It really is chilly for young girls.
Ria
The preteen era type projects like they did now. It's so different.
Arielle Kebbel
It's almost like it needs to be protected. Yeah, it really. And that was part of why I wanted to do a sequel to. But that one, I wanted to do a TV show.
Ria
Yeah.
Arielle Kebbel
The John Tucker sequel was a film. I always saw an addition to Aquamarine as a TV show. But. But I, but that's why. And I thought.
Ria
It is, it really is. Because now it feels like everything's either like real for that age group, for like that middle school age. It's either are really young still and kind of maybe immature to what they think or like euphoria.
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah.
Ria
Or it's like, whoa, like, you shouldn't be watching this.
Fran
There's no, like, I just, you know, wholesome. I have a crush.
Ria
I have a crush. Like I, I want to like, have my, like. Yeah, like, like sleepover. Like those, you know, those types going through magazines, right?
Fran
Yep.
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah, exactly. Totally agree. Yeah.
Ria
Yeah. So that's, I think that's why we just all keep it so near and dear to our hearts. But you know what's. I love that you got to talk about your love for horses. And now it's kind of come back around. Right. Because you got to work. You're working with horses for Marshalls, which is coming out March 1, which is out. It just happened.
Fran
Yep.
Ria
Let me tell you, I was about to be like, it's February 27th. Like, no, February, the end of February
Fran
kind of Shut it, skip out.
Arielle Kebbel
I keep looking.
Ria
I'm like, wait, it's March, April.
Arielle Kebbel
It's coming out. Two weeks ago. Coming out.
Fran
It's out. It's out.
Ria
Have you seen it? It's out. You can watch it.
Arielle Kebbel
You can watch it.
Ria
Yeah, it is. You're in the Yellowstone kind of universe.
Fran
Yes.
Ria
Which is really cool. And people are so obsessed. What was your. Did you watch Yellowstone? Did you know about it by the way?
Fran
You mean me?
Ria
Yes, I mean everyone. Yeah, yeah. Did you, like. So you watched Yellowstone and everything?
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did. But it's funny. It also came to a certain point where I had to like, stop watching it. Because I just was, like, getting. I would say, like, the healthy version of angry. Like, at a certain point, you know, when you want something, it's like that competitive thing where you're just like. In the beginning, I couldn't get enough of it. Loved it. And at a certain point, I was like, I can't watch anymore. I just have to, you know, stay focused and have faith in one day. One day. One day.
Fran
Because you wanted the role so bad.
Arielle Kebbel
I wanted it so bad. But just, like, I really love the period pieces, too, you know, like 1883. Oh, my gosh. And then people. And I think she's amazing. So I loved this. But people would, like, say, you know, oh, Isabel May. And she was in 1883. I was like, like. But I love her. But it was like, I was like, I can be her sister. You know, like, there are all such
Fran
natural reactions to have when you love something so much, you want to be
Arielle Kebbel
a part of it so much. And then it's one of those weird things where it's like, you would think it. I don't know, it was. Felt so close because it made sense, but it also felt so far away. Because until you have that role that you're ripe for, it's like, sure, you can have meetings and whatever, but, like, until you have that moment, what are you gonna do?
Ria
Yeah.
Arielle Kebbel
So this happened to be that moment. It was interesting. Cause I'd asked my manager and agent about. I'd seen that Luke was doing a spinoff. And before I knew about the bell roll. And so I was just like, what's happening? What's happening? What's happening? And then one day they were like, well, funny. You asked. And he, you know, here it is. And so it really, like, yeah, I mean, I'm still taking it in, is the truth. Yeah.
Ria
That's amazing. I feel like, what a fun way to kind of bring it all together for you. And you get to. You get to writers, you get to put.
Fran
You've got.
Ria
I feel like the last few TV projects you've done have been very, like, hard action. Like, action heavy. You know, like, you're. You're search and rescue. You're a firefighter. Like, there's really intense things. It's like, well, talk about, from what you're saying, wanting to be an athlete. These are. You gotta be an athlete to, like, do these roles.
Arielle Kebbel
It's true, actually. But I've talked about that, too. I'm like, you know, those roles we all like, not just me, but the entire Cast included. Like, I feel like we started to, like, think or train like an athlete, because otherwise, you just these days aren't sustainable, especially for a network show, because you don't have a lot of time. So you're doing, like, you know, 12 scenes a day, and it's. It's very demanding. And so if you don't take care of your body, like, I really don't know how you make it through. So, yeah, it was. But it's funny, too. Cause doing those roles, I didn't know how much it would help me with Belle and this role. And it's like, that's the fun journey, right? Is like, now I get to look back and go, oh, my gosh. You know, and.
Ria
Exactly. So it all comes back around, brings you to where you are right now. I feel like we could talk to you for another hour. We have to wrap up, sadly, or else I would have so many questions. I know. Seriously, so much more we could have talked about. But Marshalls, everyone can watch on cbs, on Paramount, if you're a streamer, if you want to just watch it in the app as well. So excited to have another part of the Yellowstone universe.
Arielle Kebbel
And I just went to the Madison premiere last night, and it's so good. Michelle Pfeiffer's amazing. The entire cast, I laughed and cried. So, you know, there's more coming. I like to support the family.
Fran
Amazing.
Ria
Thank you so much for joining.
Fran
Thank you for having me. Thank you so much.
Ria
It was so fun.
Fran
Look at Pepper just sleeping the entire time.
Ria
I wish you. I was honestly distracted the whole time looking at her for a while. She was like this.
Fran
Her little pause was, you know, I was gonna bring her up, but then I said, let's not disturb her.
Ria
No, she's.
Arielle Kebbel
Yeah, Diva needs her rest, but also
Fran
she is booked and busy and tired.
Arielle Kebbel
She's, like, up on.
Fran
Oh, you're talking about me. She's like, walk.
Arielle Kebbel
That's amazing.
Fran
Thank you so.
Arielle Kebbel
Thank you so much for having me.
Fran
Yeah. We're so excited to be headed back on tour, especially this week in Seattle and San Diego. We are going to be drumming up some delicious cocktails for you with Rum Haven. Oh, my God. On Friday night, we have ourselves a nice little Rum Haven photo shoot going on. And the cocktails are going to be flowing, especially at the shows as well. Because right now, the world, it's too loud, it's too filtered, and it could be too fake, but not here and not with us. Rumhaven is where the noise fades and the real comes out. Where you can just unbutton those expectations you have and sip on what's true and what's natural. That's Rumhaven. One taste of pure cane sugar and real coconut water lets you feel the difference. It's an oasis of authenticity, and it calls to you and draws you in. So open up a bottle of Rumhaven. Lose the small talk and find the good vibes, because the best moments aren't fake. They're simply real, like Rom Haven made for real. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another game of Beatri and Fran. This is game number 210, and we are joined by Bria and Brittany. We are so excited to play. We heard that Brittany and Bria were supposed to be playing together in the same room, but travel plans kind of messed that up. So let's see if they can keep the momentum going from rooms apart. Thank you, ladies, for joining us.
Ria

Fran

Ria

Arielle Kebbel
You're really showing your age right now.
Ria
You have no idea what happens between
Fran
two people after 18 years of marriage.
Noah
All right?
Arielle Kebbel
And because you're willing to hang around
Fran
for some asshole after he totally betrayed you, that's your business. Oh, no, I'm sorry. You're right.
Ria
I put a lot of time and
Fran
effort into that relationship.
Ria
And no, I'm not just walking way
Fran
because of a bump in the road. Okay, so this is.
Ria
Okay, so it's Mark Ruffalo. That's Kira Knightley. Noah loves this movie. Begin again.

Yes.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Final answer.
Noah
Correct.
Fran
I was trying to do the math. That's what it is.
Ria
One plus one equals Noah's favorite movie.
Noah
It's a great movie.
Fran
He just has such a distinct voice.
Noah
I feel like hero gives it away that, like. Yeah, if I didn't have. If she wasn't in that clip, that
Fran
would have been way harder.
Ria
I would have guessed like, just like heaven or something.
Fran
Yeah, honestly, that's what I was thinking of initially.
Noah
Mark Ruffalo really has range.
Fran
He does.
Ria
Yeah, he does.
Noah
Okay, five, three. Brienne, Franz. Question number 11 to Brienne. Britney. Shout out. Bri from New Jersey. Once again, who sang this theme song for the Disney Channel series Shake it Up?

Is there any. Yeah, Zendaya.
Arielle Kebbel
Final answer.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Correct.
Ria
I don't recall the theme song at all. Shake it Up. If it's not Zendaya, is it Bella Thorne?
Fran
That's the other guess.
Ria
Or is it. Is it plot twist?
Fran
Neither of them I think it's neither of them, actually. And I'm gonna be mad when we hear who it is, but I think we should just say Bella Thorne.
Ria
Is it like
Fran
Bridget Meddler?
Ria
Bridget Mendler. I was also thinking Bridget Mendler.
Fran
All right, let's see.
Ria
Let's just guess. Bridget Mendler.

Ria
It's such an outlandish outfit. Like Lady Gaga. Like, who else would have that coat?
Fran
Yeah, I would say, like, Paris Sultan. Yeah.
Ria

Runaway Bride.
Fran
Final answer correct. I'm dead serious.
Noah
That's weird.
Fran
It's so weird because long story short, nobody's gonna understand what I'm saying. But Clemmer is sitting out of pick central today, and I said, oh, do you need me to fill in? And then I started going on because he loves talking about old movies. He said, ah, that Richard Gere and Pretty Woman. And then we were going down that whole path. So that is weird. That is weird. And worked in my favor just now.

reminder that I was just talking about it.
