[Fran]

What's up, everyone?

[Rhea]

It's Chicks in the Office with Ria and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Monday. Happy Monday, everybody. I lead with caution.

[Noah]

Oh.

[Rhea]

I said caution wrong because I got so nervous. Fuck.

[Fran]

Ah. I lead with caution for what? Caution for what?

[Rhea]

To ask how everybody's weekend was.

[Fran]

Oh, oh, oh. Well, yeah, that's fair.

[Rhea]

I lead with.

[Fran]

You should be slightly afraid of caution.

[Rhea]

Caution. Yeah.

[Fran]

I am cautious right now of the situation.

[Rhea]

You.

[Fran]

You. Yeah, no, I know. I wouldn't want to be around me either.

[Rhea]

Your mood when I walked in, it's not good.

[Fran]

It's. Because here's the thing. It's. It's the depressive Monday where now, like my family's group chat of our. My whole dad's side is just like the. You're going through everything. Everybody's texting about how they feel. Everybody's texting about what the team should do. This, that, and the other thing. For those who don't know what I'm talking about. The Eagles lost on Sunday.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Fran]

Um, nothing. Nothing with my family. Besides the fact that the. Besides the fact that the Eagles lost. Um. And you know what? I can't say I didn't see it coming. This is my. This is my. This is my one minute quick thoughts. Can't say I didn't see it coming. Coaching's been inept all season.

[Rhea]

We.

[Fran]

My brother and I Were saying it. There hasn't been one enjoyable moment this entire season because even when they were winning games, it was like just barely. And they were skating by because they're, they have a lot of talent and the defense is fantastic, but the offense has been shit. We basically have the highest paid offense and they lost to like the worst ranked defense that San Francisco's defense there. They were getting linebackers off the street like last week. So it was incredibly awful. You see every NFL analyst breaking down the plays and saying, like, you know, this offense is elementary at best. The, their scheming is God awful. Kevin Matula is terrible. The offensive coordinator. I hope he gets fired. People think maybe Sirianni could get fired. I don't know if that'll happen because they did just win Super Bowl. So you would think that they give him some grace, but he doesn't do anything on this. Like he can't call plays. So he's really only as good as his coordinators. And, and Kevin Batula is his bestie. He hired him in house. It was a disaster. So he better be okay with that guy being fired because that's going to be. That's going to be, I think, ownership scapegoat of what. Where to place blame on this season. AJ Brown had talked a lot the whole year, but I feel like AJ Brown was right, like all season long he was like, we have problems that if they're not fixed, we're going to lose. And they lost. Granted, he dropped three balls that he could have caught. That was bad. So it's like, well, maybe if you played your best, you could have saved it. So lots of thoughts, lots of sadness. You know, it's very hard to repeat. And this season I didn't have a lot of faith in them because they didn't change. There wasn't any change. There weren't any changes made when there was needed to be. And I, I said I was almost glad that they lost because it'll force them to make the changes. If they did keep winning and say made it to the next round or the NFC Championship Game, I think they would have been able to excuse it as, as, oh, it was still a very successful season. I know we didn't make it to super bowl, but losing in the first round of the playoffs, it's like, okay, well, what everybody was saying was true was that this is bad. So that's my thoughts on the Eagles. Season's over. I'm sad about it.

[Rhea]

And yeah, I'm sad for you, Franny.

[Fran]

Thanks.

[Rhea]

I was very Disappointed in the Eagles. I was mad at them for letting you down.

[Fran]

I was mad too. I was mad. It's there. It was incredibly frustrating to watch.

[Rhea]

I was really bummed out for you because.

[Fran]

Incredibly frustrating.

[Rhea]

It's a very close game.

[Fran]

Yeah. And they had their chances and they still couldn't do it because the offense fucking sucks.

[Rhea]

You know, a good game from an observer who wants to like, be like, oh my God, who's gonna win? But a bad game for somebody who is rooting for one of the teams because it was so close the entire time.

[Fran]

Yeah. And to do that at home in Philadelphia is just. It's just bad. It's just bad.

[Rhea]

When Saquon got hurt, I thought, oh.

[Fran]

No, I know, I. And it was just like, San Francisco is extremely well coached. And that was the perfect example of a well coached team versus a poor coach team with the personnel that they have. Because San Francisco is extremely hurt. They don't have a lot of their starting players. George Kittle popped his Achilles in the game, which was awful.

[Rhea]

What's going on with the Achilles thing lately?

[Fran]

Real bad. I know, I know the. Well, here's my thing with the Achilles. I think a lot of players, especially this time of the season, and I think it goes for basketball as well. Like when it gets down to the playoffs, they've played so much and they're dealing with injuries already. Like, Kittle's had a bunch of injuries all season that he's been dealing with. And when that happens, like your body, I think that especially that part of your body, you're overcompensating because, like, you got. Maybe your knee isn't doing so great or maybe your ankle isn't feeling so great, but you're trying to push through it, you're trying to play. And when you're trying to do that, your Achilles is like, you're putting a lot of pressure on me to overcompensate and then it pops. That's my. That's not a doctor. I have really no evidence to back that up. Besides, every time I feel like somebody recently, when someone. When this happens and a player tears or Achilles, it's like, oh, well, the last few weeks they've been dealing with some other injury and then this happens. So, no, it's awful. But like I was saying, like San Francisco depleted, do not have their best players, but they're extremely well coached and they were able to make it click and win with the opposite side of the Eagles being an extremely talented team and allegedly having all this star power and you can. You can only put up 19 points, so it's good. I think it. I think this is the end of Jake Elliott's time. Our kicker, he missed that extra point, which loomed large obviously, with the way that the game went, being down four at the end instead of down three. If he made that extra point, he could, you know, could have kicked a field goal to tie the whole thing. So it was very windy for sure. That's. People are talking about how windy was. But he's had some pretty. He's had some pretty key misses this season. You're right. You're right. It is not. It's not. It's not. And that's. Yeah, I won't. I won't keep talking about it because I could keep talking about it forever. But your agreements, as long as you want. I know, it's just sad. I. Cause the, the window of opportunity is really not that big for a team like this that has all this talent and they are being paid so much money because you're not going to be able to afford to pay all these players, especially on the defense. I feel like we might end up losing one of these. Either. Either Jordan Davis or, or Jalen Carter.

[Rhea]

And.

[Fran]

See what happens with, with the offense. And you know, people are very mad at A.J. brown, so they're already calling for him to be traded, but he's makes so much fucking money, so I don't. I will see. But yeah, I know it's. It's. I'm going to enjoy watching the rest of the playoffs.

[Rhea]

True.

[Fran]

You know. Yeah. I'm just, Just a bystander now. Just for the love of the game.

[Rhea]

Go Bills. You.

[Fran]

Yeah, I'm rooting for the Bills. I'm also rooting for the Bears. I just, I think, you know, I'm happy for my people in Chicago and I'm happy for like a team that can turn it around that quickly I think is very exciting. And also I like to see what would make the best drama or scenario for our company.

[Rhea]

Patriots, Patriots, Bears.

[Fran]

And so I really do think that that would be. I really do think that would be best case scenario. So I'm rooting for the Bears and that's where. That's where I'm at now because it's really like the, the. Just the, The Bears against the entire NFC West.

[Rhea]

All very exciting games though.

[Fran]

Yes, they were. Saturday's games were great. Packers fans, I feel your pain as.

[Rhea]

Somebody who likes to clock in for the playoffs. Yeah, this is now my time. I'm like, oh, these games Are fun and interesting. I feel bad for my packers friends. My packers friends feel bad for Daddy lafleur.

[Fran]

Yeah. Because let me tell you, talking a.

[Rhea]

Lot about him being fired.

[Fran]

Coaching ineptitude. I got you.

[Rhea]

Oh, God.

[Fran]

That's some. That's some coaching malpractice right there from him. And I feel you. I feel your pain. I feel like we can. We can agree on that one.

[Noah]

What do you think about that handshake after the game everyone's talking about?

[Fran]

Yeah, he. Ben Johnson was just fired up. I don't know. He was excited. He beat them. He was. He was like, I just, like, shook his hand and ran away.

[Rhea]

I didn't think anything of it.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

People are saying it's kind of, like, disrespectful, but.

[Fran]

No, but I have no problem. Sorry, I. Spare me with, like, that issue.

[Rhea]

He's.

[Fran]

He's excited. This team stunk last year. That was an insane comeback. Their biggest comeback ever. And in the playoffs.

[Noah]

And.

[Fran]

And, yeah, everyone was also him screaming like, fuck the packers in the locker room. Everyone was mad about that, too. The players love him. And you know what? In the moment, they're. They just won. They're like, fuck the Packers. If you're the packers, that sucks to save 100%, but it's good for the rivalry. I just. Yeah, I can't. I can't, like, get on my soapboxy, be like, that's so disrespectful. Like, everybody on Twitter is like, that was so disrespectful.

[Noah]

That's like a Sirianni move. I feel like, like, even was it that last week where he was, he.

[Fran]

Probably would do some dumb shit like that. Yeah. Yeah.

[Rhea]

And.

[Fran]

And you know what? Like, I. I'm just over. I'm over him defending Batula in any way. And I hope Jeffrey Lurie sends Betula packing. And if Sirianni says, like, oh, if he goes, like, if he puts up a stink, I hope Lurie threatens to fire his ass, too.

[Rhea]

So how about the Patriots winning?

[Noah]

It was a good game.

[Fran]

Was.

[Noah]

Well, it wasn't.

[Rhea]

It wasn't.

[Noah]

It was a great game for the Patriots, but you just want to get the win, so.

[Fran]

No, no, they. Yes, it's good because they won, but the game itself is pretty boring.

[Noah]

The defense looked good.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Herbert, I told.

[Fran]

I told Noah, don't fucking rock.

[Rhea]

I told Noah, do not fret. We were texting yesterday. I said, justin, Herbert has never won a playoff game. Don't worry, bro. You got this. Also, I'm in the. I noticed none of you guys do it. The pool in the office with the.

[Noah]

I've never done it.

[Fran]

Never done it.

[Noah]

I'm not, like, a gambler.

[Rhea]

This is my second year doing it, and I'm in sixth place right now. I have 49 people.

[Fran]

Yeah. Good for. That's amazing.

[Noah]

That's like a March Madness. So, like, after the first weekend, you're like, I'm winning.

[Rhea]

No, I know that I'm gonna end up, like, in last.

[Fran]

Yeah. This is a very lazy take for me. But every time when I get that email and there's, like, a lot of instructions.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

About.

[Noah]

I kind of am the same way. Like, it's a lot of reading.

[Fran]

I'm out. And every time, like, when Steven Stray sends the email, and it's like, you have to go to this website. It's really old because it hasn't been updated in a while.

[Rhea]

I'm like, I'm out. It was really easy, actually. But I understand. I totally understand.

[Fran]

You know, I'm like, that's too many steps.

[Rhea]

I totally get it. This is my second year doing it. Last year, I was, like, almost incomplete. Last. Would you also win if you're in last? So, like. Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

It's first and last win.

[Noah]

So does last win, or they just get the money back.

[Rhea]

They get, like. I think first and last place get money because. So that everyone stays involved. Because if you're in last, you just, like, lose interest. But I did pick the Patriots for my, like, my 13th, which is, like, your number one block.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And so that's why, when we were texting yesterday, that I had a lot riding on you.

[Noah]

Yeah. I was like, why are you, like.

[Fran]

I was like, really?

[Rhea]

Well, because Matt does his.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And then he tells me, do not listen to anything I'm saying. Do it yourself. Or, like, do it with your dad, you know, so, like, my dad can, like, get involved. And so me and my dad had a call about it.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And we were pretty aligned on our picks, you know? And I do have to be completely honest.

[Noah]

You picked against the Eagles?

[Rhea]

I picked because in my heart, I wanted the Eagles to win.

[Fran]

Yeah. The smart king. Was I to bet against them for sure.

[Rhea]

Pick the 49ers. And it. You know, it led me to that. But that doesn't matter to me, you know, that win.

[Noah]

So you were rooting for.

[Rhea]

I was rooting for the Eagles.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And I thought, well, then if the Eagles. Right. But then I thought, if the 49ers win, then I got another one.

[Fran]

You're hedging it. It's like. It's like, oh, if they lose, well, at least. My bad.

[Rhea]

At least the pool is good. But I was definitely rooting for them, so it's.

[Fran]

Yeah, it's. It's. It sucks. But, you know, going far, we got the Bills. Yeah, the Bills. I'm ready for the Bills for sure. Excited for them.

[Rhea]

So do the Bills and the Bears play?

[Fran]

The Bills and the Broncos play now. The Bears will play the Rams. Ooh, yes.

[Noah]

Yeah. The Patriots are gonna play the winner of tonight's game.

[Rhea]

Oh, I think the Rams will probably win. Right.

[Fran]

The Bears are in the nfc, so basically the only teams left in the NFC are the NFC west team. So it's literally the. It's the Bears, which is not. But then it's Rams, 49ers, Seahawks that are all from the same division.

[Rhea]

Damn.

[Fran]

So the 49ers and the Seahawks are playing again for the third time, and the Rams will go to Chicago to play the Bears, which, you know, I think as far as home field advantage goes, having that game in Chicago is big for them because the Rams, notoriously, not great in the cold.

[Rhea]

True. They're used to that warm weather.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

All right, so.

[Fran]

And that's talking football.

[Noah]

I would love to like someone just. This is their first episode, and they're like, wait. Honestly, the last episode?

[Fran]

Well, because what's funny is, like, we never put this in the title or anything, so it's gonna say, golden Globes recap, plus weekly watch report. And then they'd be like, they have these. These chicks have been talking about football for 20 minutes.

[Rhea]

Hey, it's about that time.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

We can do it all.

[Fran]

Hey, we're multifaceted. We can do it all. And you better believe I had that split screen going for the Golden Globes and the. And the football last night. Sound for the Golden Globes, of course. Because, you know, the football was.

[Rhea]

You don't need the sound. Yeah.

[Fran]

No, no.

[Rhea]

What do you want to hear? Tom Brady. I know he did the Eagles. Sorry.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. Honestly, Tom would have been a fucking better coach. Tom. The whole second. The whole second half was like, all right, they're getting some momentum. Let's go a little up. Up tempo. Let's get this offense rolling. Let's get them going. And. And they weren't listening. They were not listening. They were not listening, and they should have been listening to Tom.

[Noah]

You want. Would you want John Harbaugh?

[Rhea]

What?

[Fran]

I want Harbaugh as a coach.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I mean, I don't know. He kind of a similar situation. I.

[Rhea]

Where.

[Fran]

I kind of want a head coach with a little bit of more of an offensive mind.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, like, look what. Look what Shannon has done with the 49ers. Very impressive. So anyway, now I'm done talking football.

[Rhea]

That was very nice of you to give a lot of props to the 49ers.

[Fran]

They played a great game with a very, like, you know.

[Rhea]

I'm just saying it's nice, you know?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

How else. How else was the weekend besides that for everybody? Noah and I had a night out on Friday. I saw. I saw. Pretty epic. You guys.

[Fran]

You guys got got by the West Village limos.

[Rhea]

We fell victim to the West Village limos, which is.

[Fran]

I have a friend that often falls victim to the West Village.

[Noah]

That's the first time ever even hearing about that.

[Fran]

Oh, she texted me. I was like, I see Rhea is our latest victim.

[Rhea]

Well, we were passing by the limos. I said, guys, let's get in one of them.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

They said, you could just get in one of these limos. I said, I know. Lolo Sinclair, you know?

[Fran]

He was like, yeah, if I know. Let me tell you, Fran's got a friend that. She'll ride that limo 10 blocks. Listen to the next bar.

[Rhea]

If I know correctly, these are the.

[Fran]

West Village, and you can just.

[Rhea]

And we did get in it, and our guy was very sketchy. Making multiple stops around the city.

[Noah]

No one middle of the street. Got out of the limo, went into a store. No, like, explanation. We were like, why are we stopped?

[Rhea]

Twice. Twice. The first time, he. We drove all the way uptown. He went into a store. He said he needed a charger. I didn't believe that.

[Fran]

Yeah, that's a risk. That's a risk.

[Rhea]

It is definitely a risk. Then we went downtown, and he went into a weed store, and he came out and he said, sorry, I had to get a little bit of a.

[Noah]

That wasn't impressive because he didn't pull over. He just stopped in the middle of the street.

[Rhea]

He did not pull over. He just stopped in the middle of the street and made all the cars behind him wait. No, you couldn't go around him. It was a small street, so we were like, ah, we should get out soon, you know?

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

No, that was just when I was, like, questioning the whatever bottle we were drinking out of. I was like, hope this is okay.

[Rhea]

And that's why I didn't drink out of it.

[Noah]

Oh, you didn't?

[Rhea]

No. They have a bottle of champagne.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Was it unopened?

[Noah]

It was unopened.

[Rhea]

It Was unopened. Okay. But I still was like, no, thank you. Yeah, I'll let Noah drink it and everybody else. I will say we did go to dinner, and Noah brought his EpiPen. And I was so happy. And he handed it to me and anointed me as his savior, just in case.

[Noah]

Well, they were asking, who would. Who would I have.

[Fran]

Who would you want to stab?

[Noah]

You probably Ria.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah. At that table.

[Fran]

Like, who are the options? Kelly. Tommy. Tommy and Marty.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah. I would go with you too. Yeah.

[Rhea]

It just seemed like I was like, guys, guys, guys, honestly, put your hands down. I know him the best, and clearly it's me. Yeah. But I was so proud of him for bringing it.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And then it kind of. There was a chance at the. Because they cooked their fries in peanut oil, and I was about to take the risk, but they said, it's not worth it.

[Rhea]

Yeah. He said, I think I'm gonna risk this.

[Noah]

And I said, it's refined peanut oil, which is what Chick Fil A uses where they like. Which I still don't understand, but they, like, take the allergic part out.

[Rhea]

But I was like, very interesting.

[Fran]

But you don't eat Chick Fil A for that reason.

[Noah]

No, I do.

[Fran]

Oh, you do?

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But, yeah, we fell victim to the West Village limo. Had a nice ride.

[Fran]

It'll get you.

[Rhea]

It'll get you. And I learned from you and your friends that it will get you. But we had a nice time. Sunday was my nephew's baptism, which was lovely, and then the Golden Globes, which were so much fun and so funny. I literally was cackling the entire night away until I had a panic attack mid Timmy Chalamet speech. I the drop by gnc. It's where you'll find all the newest creatine innovations, like new GNC amp creat. It's a first of its kind formula designed to help athletes not just build muscle, but also repair and protect it in ways creatine alone can get it now at gnc. See, so with my endometriosis, I go through months where it's like, oh, my God, I'm healed.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You know what I mean?

[Fran]

Like, feel amazing. I feel amazing.

[Rhea]

There's no way I have this anymore. And then I'll get a couple periods in a row that I'm like, oh, my God, this is really bad. This is acting up. I'm really having a flare up. And the past couple period that I've had have been those type where it's like debilitating cramps on the floor of my shower, throwing up. Like, just bad news.

[Fran]

Yeah. The last few weeks I feel like I've been really.

[Rhea]

The last couple ones have been real bad. And the last time I got surgery was eight years ago. And so surgery removes what's there and then it grows back, like slowly grows back. And the way that you, like, slow the growth is with birth control. I take birth control and, you know, they say it helps slow the growth. But it's been eight years since I've had my first surgery. So lately I've just been like, oh, man, you know, do I gotta spin the block on this thing? And I, I get so frustrated because, you know, I am somebody who obviously, you know, loves to feel well. And I love to keep a positive mindset about it. And I like to kinda like, be.

[Fran]

Like, oh, yeah, I felt like shit.

[Rhea]

But like, it's fine, like I'm doing whatever and I have to be reminded by people that, like, it's okay to not feel well. But I hate, I hate not feeling well.

[Fran]

But.

[Rhea]

And that's what gets me, like, amped up and frustrated. And then like, you know, so I.

[Fran]

That's where the panic attacks.

[Rhea]

Yeah. So then I get like all. You know, I was down like a rabbit hole of like, googling last night because I had not been feeling well this period. So obviously I went down a rabbit hole of like, googling. And then Tick tock was giving me all videos about endometriosis disaster. And on one hand I would like to say that I'm really, really happy that it is becoming. People are becoming more aware, more women are getting checked, People are listening to women about their symptoms. Because, you know, when I was 15, which is when basically my doctor was like, I, I believe that you have this. You know, it wasn't. I had to like, find a specialist. And even originally when I would like, I would go to the hospital, like in high school all the time because I had cyst on my ovaries and it was a whole thing. And then because of my mom, having endometriosis was the only reason anybody, like, would listen to me. But now it seems like people are more. Are listening. I saw Lily Reinhart. She got surgery recently. Finally, like, she was like, somebody listen to me. My symptoms.

[Noah]

And.

[Rhea]

And so on one hand, I'm very, very happy that people are listening to women who are going through this. On the other hand, I was getting flooded with videos that were like, really scary about how it could spread to all different places. And it can, it can. It's not Just like around your reproductive area, it can really spread to like your back, your brain, your liver, your lungs, like all these different things. And so I really started like scaring myself last night.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Instead of just going to the doctor, which I'm going to and which I do do. But the last time I went to the gynecologist, I did have a cyst on my ovary, but it wasn't. And it's one of those things where like, every doctor is different. And that's why I have been to a couple. Because you have one doctor that's like, oh, well, the cysts, you know, it's there, it's not big enough to be removed, it'll go away. But then you deal with like, which I have been dealing with since, you know, I was like 14, 15 years old, was that I would get cysts and then they would burst. And that's when I would go to the hospital was because I would be like, what is this feeling? And then they'd be like, you had a cyst at first. Now I kind of know what that feeling's like. So when I get that pain in my ovary where like, I can't stand up straight, I'm like, it feels like I had a cyst that burst, you know, like the pain is familiar and I'm just so used to working through it. Like, I'm so used to just being like, I don't know, whatever, and it'll pass because then months go by and it doesn't happen. But then you have bad flare ups and it's just frustrating when you just want to feel well and you just have this thing that like, can really make you feel like shit. And it's kind of, kind of feels invisible sometimes. And it feels like people like, don't believe you when you don't feel well. And it sucks because in recent years I have, like, really, I feel like I really take care of myself. Like, I feel like I'm the healthiest I've ever been with the way I eat and exercise. And I feel strong, I feel stronger than ever and I love it. So some days I just fucking love how I feel. And then the days that I don't, I just like really beat myself up. And, you know, that sucks.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You know, and I think thankfully you remind me. You're like, it's okay, you know, like, you have a safe.

[Fran]

It's fair of you to do yourself.

[Rhea]

But I like really, you know, beat myself up. And thankfully I have an amazing husband who's always like, it's okay. You know, like, all these great things. And my mom, who went through it, is good to talk to as well, because she is always, like, advocating for, like, you know, you should really, you know.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You don't. Basically don't end up like me, who, like, you know, had such. Such a bad experience with it. But. Yeah, just feeling down last night about it because it just frustrated. Like last week, you know, in the middle of the night, I just was, like, puking my brains out. Sorry. I know people don't want to hear that on Monday, but. And. And then, like, you know, had to wake up and just be like, you know what? All right, well, I feel fine now, but last night was fucking shitty, and it sucks. I just want. You know what I mean?

[Fran]

Like, I just want. I can only imagine how frustrating it is because you do Are doing every. You're doing everything you can.

[Rhea]

I am.

[Fran]

And it's just. It's just part of living.

[Rhea]

And I try different birth controls, you know, like, because some are better than others. And I feel like the one that I have been on, you know, in the past couple years has been really good for me. But then obviously not. Not every month is going to be perfect, and it just sucks. It really does.

[Fran]

So anybody out there? Sometimes you're like, I got my period. I just had it two weeks ago. I'm like, what? I know. And. And that lasts too long or it skips or is this right? And then, like, the pain comes and goes. And you're like, well, my back's been hurting for me for five days. Then you're like, well, I just got my period. It's just like. It's just. And it's really debilitating.

[Rhea]

It is. And when I feel it always goes inside with my period because I'm like, oh, something's weird. And then it's like, well, I had my period. Oh. But I had my period two and a half weeks ago, and it just is annoying. And anybody who's dealt with that, they know that, like, it can be. You can just, like, get random spotting in the middle of the month and this and that and the whole other thing, and it sucks. But, you know, I did get surgery eight years ago, and when I got that surgery I had. They found I had pelvic congestion syndrome, which is like varicose veins grow on your pelvis, inside your body, which could cause, like, your legs to hurt, the whole thing. And then they, like, removed a liter of blood off my colon.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Which was a whole thing. And I'm like, You know, it has been quite some time. Right. But. But I will say, the last time I went to the doctor and had talked about, like, you know, when do you do surgery again? They were saying that they try to avoid it because building up that scar tissue before you get pregnant, which I am not planning to have kids for, you know, years. So that. But still, it's something you want. It's still something you want. It's still something I want. Still something I worry about in the future. Um, so, you know, the building up that scar tissue, it makes. I get. The last time I talked to my doctor was like, it make. You know, we try to avoid that because, you know, you never know in the future if you're trying to get pregnant, the whole thing. So I was just feeling, like, panicky about it last night, and all of a sudden, as club as I'm trying to enjoy Timmy's speech.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Yeah. I'm simultaneously googling.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And I just freaking freaked out. Like, I was like, oh, my God, sheer panic. Did it. Is it spreading all over my body in this very instant? It's not. Yeah. You know, but it is a. Have to remind myself it's a normal thing to be worried about and be stressed about. And sometimes I just don't like talking about it because, you know, I. Like I said, I have been dealing with this since I'm, like, 15. And so I. You know, I've gone to multiple doctors. And although advice is very appreciated because people do have good advice of how to deal with things, I don't like the scary messages or anything of that sort. So if we can refrain from that, I would appreciate it. But I do like talking about it to bring awareness and help other women who are. Can relate. And, you know, because I know it's very relatable.

[Fran]

It absolutely is. There's a lot of. There's a lot of women that silently suffer with endometriosis, and I still think a lot of people still don't really know what it is. So it is great that you talk about it. I mean, I don't think I would have known what it is if I hadn't met you and told me about it. So I just think that there. And, you know, I know that there are definitely some voices, you know, that are more vocal about it. You know, Lily Reinhardt posed about it. Olivia Culpo has always been very vocal about it. That share. And I think that's extremely helpful because I think, like, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I imagine Even when you see those people, it's like, ugh, I do. Look at her having to deal with this shit too.

[Rhea]

I do. I, you know, I feel so bad for them.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But at the same time, I am like, so happy to see it because I'm like, oh, you know what? I'm not making this pain up in my head. Which sometimes I convince myself that I am.

[Fran]

Yeah. And when they're always like, you know, add. You have to add. You have to. If you know that something is wrong.

[Rhea]

This is a sign right now. If you're listening to this and you feel and, and sometimes it's not even just during, around your period. It could be in the middle. You know, I have flare ups that'll come every couple months. That it's. It's a pain that lasts me. No joke. It'll come for like 24 hours and I'll just be like, up through the night and then it'll go away and then I won't feel it for months. So if you're listening right now and you feel like, you know, there's something weird about my whatever, you can bring it up to your doctor and explore that. And there are specialists, there are great specialists for it. Because if you don't bring it up, a lot of times some doctors don't even fucking know what it is. And that is extremely, extremely frustrating as well. But that was kind of where my head was at last night. And then got through it, ate some Chinese food, had some comfort food and giggled my ass off at the rest of the Golden Globes. Cause let me tell you, that show was so entertaining. It was one of the most entertaining award shows that we've had in quite some time.

[Fran]

It was. Cause you know, Nikki Glaser just does a fantastic job. But we'll get into our full recap. No. Anything you want to share from your weekend? Is that your. Your big Friday night out besides an.

[Rhea]

Epic limo ride we had?

[Noah]

No, I don't think so. It was Murray's birthday on Saturday. Shout out. Murray turned 7.

[Rhea]

Happy birthday, Murray.

[Fran]

Birthday, Murray. He's 7.

[Noah]

Yeah. It's crazy.

[Rhea]

Wow.

[Noah]

Crazy.

[Fran]

I wish dogs would live forever.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Anyway, well, Maria is going to live forever, so.

[Fran]

Yeah. Mar is.

[Rhea]

Yeah. So true.

[Fran]

You haven't. Your mom got a new foster?

[Noah]

Pearl.

[Fran]

Pearl.

[Noah]

Did you see it? And she looks like a pearl if you see it.

[Fran]

I saw her. She. She does dog's name Pearl. Really? It's a great name for a dog.

[Rhea]

Take the name up.

[Fran]

You know what? I decided this weekend and it's Because Joe made a chili on Saturday.

[Rhea]

That rainy day chili.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Yum.

[Fran]

That chili is a fantastic dog name. And I will be keeping that in the tank.

[Rhea]

That's Cody Co and Kelsey Crapple's dog name.

[Fran]

Yes, it is. And I think it's a fantastic dog name. And I was like, damn, how cute would a little olive and chili. They'd be so cute.

[Rhea]

That would be really cute.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Are you.

[Fran]

That's down the line. No, no, no, I'm not at all. I'm not currently. I. Eventually, I would love to have another dog because I think dogs thrive with a buddy, with companions. Yeah, yeah. So it would. But not in the current moment.

[Noah]

Speaking of dogs, have you guys seen this Jennifer Lawrence stuff? Oh, people are really, like, picking sides.

[Rhea]

I saw.

[Fran]

Here's the thing. The. The gist of what. What she did, I understand, which with. If people don't know, she had, I think, some sort of, like, Chihuahua mix or something. And she had the dog before having kids. And then when she had her kid, I think she has. Did she have one or two kids?

[Rhea]

I think she has two.

[Fran]

I forget. Anyways, the dog had bit her son, and after that had happened, the dog went to live with her parents. So everyone was like, ooh, I don't know. It's sensitive. I understand that. I think that there's a lot. When it comes to dogs and babies and introducing that relationship in a really cautious way and also teaching kids at a young age how to interact with dogs because nothing drives me more crazy. And granted, a lot of these kids don't have dogs, so they don't know. But when I see a kid, like, meeting a dog for the first time and their face is up in their face and the dog's tail is between its legs and all the signs are there, and these kids are just like, in these dogs. I'm like, you can't have your kid in this dog's face. And I don't know what happened with. What situation happened with Jennifer Lawrence. I think it was the way she said it.

[Noah]

I'm hearing. I didn't actually see the clip. I heard she said it in like a. Oh, yeah, just re home. I don't like.

[Fran]

No, it was. She made a joke that people didn't like the joke. So she did, like, a talk at the. I think it was at the 92Y. And she said, like, after that happened, she was like, I'm fucking, like, I'm done with dogs. Like, tell your friends. Like, you're out of. Like, it was just like. It was Like, I hate dogs now because of this.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Fran]

So she, she just like kind of came for dogs. Right. I think it was like, now that my dog did this. Well, now I hate dog. And, and like it made me have a. Hatred for dogs is basically what she was joking about. And everyone was like, right.

[Rhea]

I think the wrong part is fine.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Especially if you're worried safer for your.

[Fran]

Family or know that the dog is in a good. Obviously the dog is with your parents.

[Rhea]

Right. But the wording about it was. Was poor.

[Fran]

I think the joke did not land well with people, of course. Like, that was, that was where people.

[Noah]

Were like, she said she wants to obliterate every dog.

[Rhea]

Yeah, yeah, that was like, because.

[Fran]

And then she, she made a joke. She was like, you know, and I was like, tell your friends.

[Rhea]

Like, that's not gonna go over well.

[Noah]

All these articles. Jennifer Lawrence says she wanted to obliterate dogs.

[Rhea]

Yeah, that's.

[Fran]

That's a tough headline for sure.

[Rhea]

That is tough.

[Fran]

I think, you know, she definitely was trying to make a joke about it and it did not land. It was.

[Noah]

I didn't realize Andy Cohen also did the same thing when he had kids. He.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, but I. And he was very sensitive about that situation. Is his dog that, that his dog was very well known. I. But I think it was the same kind of thing where unfortunately, sometimes you don't know how your dog is gonna react with little kids around. And sometimes, sometimes the dog like just has a bad react, you know, just has a bad reaction. Yeah, it's awful. And you want to try and do everything you can to, to, you know, prevent that situation from happening. But yeah, I believe that. I believe Andy's dog also went to. Is it. I think they sent him to the farm. I know that that sounds bad, but they really did send him to like, like, I know people say away. I know people say that as like a, as like a something else, but I actually think he did go to like a loving place, but it was a farm.

[Rhea]

Oh, a loving place. Farm.

[Fran]

Yes, I know what I was saying. I know what I meant. Yes. He was placed in a new permanent home with a second family in Connecticut, where he is reportedly thriving. Though Andy still misses him. And they've had very. They've had several happy reunions, but he had just. He started to show signs of aggression towards. Towards Ben. And it was just ultimately a heartbreaking decision, but it felt like the safest one for everyone's well being. Yeah.

[Noah]

Frickin Zen.

[Fran]

But you know, Andy Cohen did it and then go and watch what happens live and say, I want to. I want to obliterate all dogs.

[Rhea]

Yeah, he avoided that.

[Fran]

You know, he was. He. I remember when this happened and he was very open and honest about, you know, and how devastating it was to him to have to do it too. So, you know, she could have been a. Maybe a little more. A little more sensitive about the word.

[Rhea]

Didn't need the. The obliterate.

[Fran]

Obliterate all.

[Rhea]

I watched that clip and I was like, oh, oh, oh, no. Yeah, not good. Not good.

[Fran]

No, that was the word she. I was trying to remember what the word was. Obliterate.

[Rhea]

Not good. It was pretty. It was an aggressive.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But by Pearl Power.

[Noah]

Murray and Pearl doing apparently fine. But I don't think that they're like the type that they're. I don't think they, like, get each other, you know, like, they're not like wrestling.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

It's also like Murray's so much bigger than her.

[Fran]

Yeah. She did look little.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

She yells.

[Noah]

She's like. Yeah, she's like a puppy. She's like six, seven months.

[Fran]

I think she was really cute.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Well, hoping for Pearl to get it out.

[Noah]

If anyone wants Pearl.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Simon sits Isabelle the account she has. She just had two little chihuahua mixes that were named after he'd arrived. They were Shane and Ilya and they just got adopted this weekend, so they were so cute. Well, they're bonded pair. Sometimes you have. They have the rescues that have the bond in Paris. They get adopted together.

[Rhea]

Thank God. Just like Shane and Elias. Exactly. Just like Hudson and Connor.

[Fran]

Hence the names. Hence the names.

[Rhea]

But yeah, it is crazy now. Like, so Norman. So my sister and her husband and Luca still live with my parents. And Luca and. And Norman are like the same size. So. So that's been really interesting. But, you know, my parents are in the ca. I'm like, well, we will never re home. Norman, like, he's the family dog.

[Fran]

Norman lives. Norman lives here.

[Rhea]

He lives a great life. Um, but it's a spoiled life. And then you have a baby coming to the mix.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And it's. He's kind of like, who the fuck is this guy? You know, with Luca? So he just gets like. Like when my mom is. Is like, you know, holding Luca, whatever. Like, Norman's like, where are my kisses? Like, he'll start, you know, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, being all like, give me my kisses. So you got to like, really spread the love between them. Because it also doesn't help that they are like the same size.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You know how old is Norman?

[Noah]

Like five.

[Rhea]

Norman is about to be six years old. So crazy. Yeah, that is crazy.

[Fran]

But little chunk.

[Rhea]

Yeah. He's living the life. Too spoiled. He is. He is, like, thick. Yeah.

[Fran]

He lives a good life.

[Rhea]

He does. He lives a good life.

[Fran]

He's good life.

[Rhea]

Well fed.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yep.

[Rhea]

But between those two, they are. They are fighting for the attention. They both get a lot of attention. A lot of it. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We're going to be talking all about the Golden Globes and weekly watch report. Very important things to talk about.

[Fran]

Major things to talk about.

[Rhea]

Major things to talk about with all those. So it may sound like little topics, but we have a lot to say.

[Fran]

No, no, we have a lot to say. Traders is back. So we have traders and we both did work. We did. We said we did what we said we were going to do.

[Rhea]

Maybe the first time ever.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. I'm gonna watch Tangled again tonight.

[Fran]

Round of applause. Standing. Oh, I'd stand if it wouldn't. If it wouldn't ruin speaking into the microphone. She is so good. She crushed it again, I think, you know, really in her rhythm. First time she was amazing. But the second time I'm sure the nerves are a little bit less and God, she's just so good. She's so good. Good at what she does, especially when it comes to the roasting where she goes there. But it is still in a, you know, coming from a loving place.

[Rhea]

It's tasteful. It's very tasteful.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Rhea]

She's always complimenting while roasting at the same time. It's superb. She really did, in my opinion, a spectacular job. I was belly laughing so hard and I don't know if it's just because I love Nikki Glaser or or because the jokes were that good. In my opinion. They were that good. There were a couple of highlights. Leonardo DiCaprio, you know, she did the classic joke about his girlfriend, you know, being below 30. But then she circled it around and said, we just don't know anything else about you, man. And I thought that was so good. The delivery of that line was so good. And then she recalled the 1991 Teen B interview of where he says he loves pasta. And just bringing that all together. And the research that you have to do to get to that joke was so well done because it is a played out joke. But she did it in a way that made it all come together. The Michael B. Jordan joke, I was laughing about that all night long. Number, number one, you can tell the room was hesitant to laugh about the two brothers joke, which I thought was very well done. And then on top of that, Michael B. Jordan to Nikki B. Jerkin.

[Fran]

Nikki B. Jerkin is hysterical purple.

[Rhea]

It's hysterical, hysterical. And then she was like, it should have been a dm. Like all of that together was so well done and so fucking funny. And you see Michael B. Jordan's mom in the back just, like, taking a sip of her drink. Like, how do I react to this right now? Michael B. Jordan's like, do I laugh?

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rhea]

Do I not?

[Fran]

Like, it was.

[Rhea]

It just was so, so, so funny. She had been doing interviews last week where she talked about how she had go. Had been going to LA clubs to work on her monologue and did a couple of Julia Roberts jokes that no one in the crowd laughed at. They did not like Julia Roberts jokes. So instead she flipped it around to make fun of the podcasters while complimenting Julia Roberts, which I thought was perfect. She was like, why are these podcasters allowed to be near Julia Roberts? Something to that effect, which was so good. You know, Kevin Hart jokes will always land. Kevin Hart being short is always gonna play.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

The. The Steve Martin. Martin short joke with Kevin Hart in the Rock. Making comedy for people under 50 IQ. Yeah, perfect. Like, and you're always gonna get Kevin.

[Fran]

Really wanting to win. They were really hitting that one home, too. Like, even on the carpet, they were like, we know you. I don't know what. I forget what is. I think the Entertainment Tonight team was doing the carpet as well. And there's the Kevin Hart jokes were flying. Lot of Kevin Hart jokes and. But clearly he did really want to win. And you could even tell that from Julia Roberts being like, I begged Kevin to stay after he lost because he's probably just wanted to leave.

[Rhea]

I love any jokes about Kevin Hart. I also still think Kevin Hart is very funny.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

When she was saying I would listen to Ariana Grande sing the phone book, Just grab the one that Kevin's sitting on. Perfect. Like, yeah. All of it just was so, so well done. So, so tasteful. So funny. You get the room laughing. I hate when it pans to the audience, though, and you just see people not paying attention or, like, not laughing. Yeah. It just, like, rubs me the wrong way. And it's never anybody, like, I recognize, you know, like, it's. You know, maybe it's plus ones or people that are studio heads or whatever it is. Maybe they're focused on something else, but they're like, on their phone or whatever. And I'm like, you know what? Just enjoy the goddamn moment. But for the most part, they all do. I love how much Adam Sandler seems to love Nikki Glaser because at one point, she was standing right next to him doing a little bit, and he was just watching her with, like, smiling ear to ear, and it was like, oh, he really appreciates this. He thinks this is very Funny. And that's the highest compliment if you're Nikki Glaser.

[Fran]

You don't.

[Rhea]

Do you really care if you know whoever some stickler snob is laughing? No. But when you get Adam Sandler and Martin Short and Steve Martin, some of the funniest people laughing, you did a job well done. Talking about how you're never too old for money to need money. With Martin Short and Steve Martin, there were a couple other great standouts.

[Fran]

She crushed it. She was fantastic. And her sketches as well were really funny. The AMC Nicole Kidman joke into. Into the podcast thing was hysterical. With the clips from the. With the clips from the podcast. You know, we were all laughing about that Good Hang moment with Gwen Gwyneth Pal. She was like, I like to have dinner at 6. It was so good because it. It was perfect. Perfectly timed. Like, what Cookie is smart. The Smart List team loves. And it's this. It is what we do. It really is what we do and is hysterical. Like, you know, a serious Jane Goodall moment with On Caller Daddy. And then it's like this episode's brought to you by Tinder. Like, it's like, it's just. It's just. They nailed that. That was perfection. I thought that was really, really funny. And my God, did they really give the podcast category its moment? It was not something that they, you know, you know, when if you want original score, which the guy who did.

[Noah]

Sinners, I've seen a lot of people upset about.

[Fran]

It was not part of the show, but you better believe they did a full Snoop Dogg announcement of podcasts.

[Rhea]

I was stunned that this was the award. An award that they presented on stage. Although, you know, the sketch I thought was perfectly summed up podcast because we get on here and we talk about silly shit all the time. And it made me to feel. It made me feel even better for them to play a clip of Smartless. Them talking about what favorite cookie.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

What's their favorite cookie? It's like, we all do it. We all get on here. We end up in these stupid conversations.

[Fran]

And that clip from Good Hang was like the. I was laughing.

[Rhea]

I shared that on my story last week. I was like, I relate to this. And like it's just these little things that you relate to that you don't even realize how silly the conversation is. But it is all very relatable. But I stunned that it was a category they presented on stage.

[Fran]

Yeah, but they knew it. They. They knew who they were giving it to. So it's like.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Right. And when you Have Amy Poehler. The chance to have Amy Poehler get.

[Fran]

Up there category was hysterical. To have all, like, legit, very famous people. And then it's like npr, right?

[Rhea]

Amy Poehler getting up there and being like, you know, I don't know about award shows, but when they get it right, it makes sense. And it's like, that's a perfect joke. So relatable when they. When she brings up, like, she's like, all right, mom and dad, you can go back to watching the Patriots game, which is like, it's Amy fucking.

[Fran]

I just fucking love her. And I love Good hang. It really is like, I'm a good hang. Stan. Tuesday morning, like, I'm chomping at the bed for the new.

[Rhea]

So comforting. It's so funny. Amy Poehler has such good banter with anybody who sits in that.

[Fran]

Everybody.

[Rhea]

And I saw some people being like, well, she just started the podcast. Well, guess what? It's amazing. Yeah. It doesn't really matter.

[Fran]

Last year, I want to say maybe last year.

[Rhea]

Within the last year.

[Fran]

Definitely within last year.

[Rhea]

It was pretty early on that you had seen a FEY ON.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

March 2025.

[Rhea]

March 2025. Yeah. So I guess, like eight months.

[Noah]

It was like when we got nominated for People short Sports after just start. Right.

[Rhea]

Yeah, that's true. And everyone was like, what the fuck? No, but no.

[Fran]

So there's.

[Rhea]

It is cool because this is our.

[Noah]

Job for it to entering the mainstream.

[Fran]

Yeah. Be highlighted like this.

[Rhea]

Joe Santagato posted that on his story.

[Noah]

Did he?

[Rhea]

He posted at Amy Poehler and good hang. Like people like you bringing this into the mainstream, you know.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Makes it great for the. For. For all of us. And I do agree with that because we could get laughed at for what we do for a living, but. And, you know, we laugh, too.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But at the same time, it really does bring comfort to people's lives. And I think Amy Poehler, especially in that category, really does bring some comfort. I will say, though, I was yelling at my TV because I was like, mel Robbins, better not fucking win this award. I'm sorry.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Rhea]

Let them all you want. I did not want her to win that award. Right, right.

[Fran]

Let them, but don't let her win.

[Rhea]

Yeah, let them, but not this. I think it was Gia, too. We were texting about it.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You know, that sounds.

[Fran]

No, I. Look, everyone has their own personal taste. It's just. That's just the way it is.

[Rhea]

It's just been a bit oversaturated in my personal opinion.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But love what she's Doing and love that she's inspiring people.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

Because she really is.

[Fran]

It is a good message.

[Rhea]

It is.

[Fran]

It is a good message. It just. When it gets shoved down your throat, Right. That's when you're. It's a lot.

[Rhea]

And it doesn't work for everything.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Right? You can't let them do everything.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

You know, that's where I draw. My mother in law used to let them recently, and I was like, but sometimes. Yeah, you can't let them.

[Fran]

Sometimes you can't. Yeah, no, that. That is. That is true. But no, I feel like that. That was definitely a big moment. They've. They've. It's always a long show, but I feel like I really enjoyed. There wasn't too much filler. Like, stupid filler, which I thought was good. Like, it went. It flowed really well. Whoever was DJing, I must have a word, because the music that played, I couldn't believe my ears. It was like 2010's pop hits DJ. Like, I was like, am I at a sweet 16? Am I at a bat mitzvah? Like, what is happening? That this DJ is like, stellan Skarsgrd is coming up to win a war. And it's like, yeah, yeah. Like, you're like, oh, best movie. One battle after another. We found love in a hopeless place. I'm like, what? Why are we picking these songs? Some of them made sense. Like, some of them were kind of funny, where you're like, oh, that is objectively funny. Judd Apatow coming out, it was like, clearly a decision made. But then there was just something. You were like, why the fuck is this song playing? I'm so sorry. 24 Karat Magic. Like, I know.

[Rhea]

It was DJ Earworm. It was United States of Pop.

[Fran]

It was.

[Noah]

What did you think about the announcer?

[Fran]

Terrible. I hated the announcers, by the way.

[Noah]

Will you have anything, Kylie? Let's find out.

[Rhea]

If you're gonna announce, get their fucking names right. I'm sorry.

[Noah]

I'm.

[Fran]

I'm not.

[Rhea]

Apologize for my French, but okay. We're talking on the podcast. You fuck up someone's name. Fine. Casual conversation. If I'm there at the Golden Globes doing that job right, I am studying these names out loud, asking everybody I know to make sure I. Judd Apatow. Judd Apatow.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

There were a couple other names they couldn't pronounce right. I said, what? Who gave them this job?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And then who allowed them to sit there after they announced the third name wrong? Like, I hated it.

[Fran]

I know.

[Rhea]

I don't know, it was so cheesy.

[Fran]

Yes, it was cheesy to me.

[Rhea]

I felt like this. It was like, oh, we need to throw something else extra in there. No, you don't. Nikki Glaser's crushing it. The little bits once in a while in between the shows was all anybody needed during that.

[Fran]

The only funny one was the Jason Bateman thing. Like that did give me a chuckle.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

But other than that, like the. The in betweens, it did feel. It felt unnecessary. I guess they were just really trying to avoid any kind of dead air, which I get. But it's also like, just play the music then.

[Rhea]

Don't worry. The music filled.

[Fran]

That is like we had the music plus the announcing. Like, it was. It was a lot.

[Rhea]

The two minutes of. Yeah. While Stellan Skarsgard came from the raft, the rafters to get on stage filled quite enough of air time. I mean, poor guy.

[Fran]

My God, that killed me. And yeah, I don't know. I. So I didn't watch a lot of the carpet because I was watching the Eagles fucking lose. And then when I turned it on, it was just like a couple moments where I still don't understand how sometimes, like these questions make it to tv because dare I say, this next generation is so much better. And the people, they get to do the social clips, I'm like, put them on tv. Mary Beth Barone did the golden. Like she did the Golden Globes. Social.

[Rhea]

So fudgeing.

[Fran]

Funny.

[Rhea]

So funny.

[Fran]

So funny. Now, granted, like, if that was on tv, would the olds not get. Get the joke? Probably.

[Rhea]

Like Dylan Efron didn't understand.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

What was happening watching.

[Fran]

It was fudgeing hysterical. And her, like, she was with Hunter Williams was so good. And there's a ton. They were all coming my TikTok, she was so funny and well prepared. Like, it was well prepared. There were good questions, good games, good moments. And I think she's so fucking funny. So I thought that that was just fantastic. And then like, I'm watching Adam Brody and Layton Meester get interviewed and she's being asked, like, so what are you thinking about this, like, renaissance for Layton? You know, like a Layton renaissance. Like, you're back. Not that you ever left, but like, you're back and everyone's like, really excited. It was just a ramble question. And it could have been worded in such a better way than like a renaissance. It's like you're acting like Leia Meester's 75 years old and she's making her big return to television every Time. She's so young. Like, I'm like, why are we calling this a. Like, I get. I get the. I get what you're saying. People are obsessed with what she's doing right now. And it's so fun. But word it that way. It's be like your last few projects. Everyone loves what you're doing. Like, everyone's so excited to see you doing all these things. Not like we're having a. We're having a run. Oh, but not like you left. Cause it's like, what?

[Rhea]

Every time I see a Leighton Meester interview, I just gear up to be crawling out of my skin.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

Because you can tell they just asked. Leighton Meester is fed up with these stupid ass questions she's being asked about, like, Blair Waldorf. How would Blair feel about what Leighton's doing today? Like, it's like, shut. Yeah, the fudge up. And I literally crawl out of my. My skin every time I see. I see it on Leighton Meester's face. Right? You see?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

She hates these. Yeah. And yet they still happen. And the questions have yet to change. So I'm with you. I turned on the red carpet and kind of zoned out. I was like, but you're right. Mary Bethron crushes.

[Fran]

So funny. I'm loving this. Loving all the clips.

[Rhea]

Watching Dylan Efron just, like, understand what was happening. And she was like, oh, that Efron family.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Like, was. It's just so funny.

[Fran]

Cause she was. He's like, oh, my brother Zach.

[Rhea]

Yeah, it was perfect. It was so funny.

[Fran]

Really, really good. She also had one with Damson Idris that was also really good too. That made me laugh because she's talking about driving the F1 cars that Brad Pitt was like, goes. And he's just like, oh. Cause he's old.

[Rhea]

It's so good when someone is just not afraid to say these things and be funny. And especially when you're, you know, pinged for the job to do social, you kind of have to. Yeah, you gotta, like, go out there.

[Fran]

And I thought she was fantastic and get the clips. But as any standouts for you on the carpet, just. Just carpet wise, I have some written down.

[Rhea]

I love Teyana Taylor's look. That was up there for me. Loved Emma Stone's look. Yep. Love Jennifer Lawrence's look. I thought Hudson Williams looked like Prince Eric, but I liked it a lot.

[Fran]

I preferred Connors.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Let's compare my two guys. No, but I actually liked. I liked Connors more than Hudson's.

[Rhea]

I thought. Yeah, I think I'm just like a Hudson Williams fan. I don't know what's going on.

[Fran]

You do love him.

[Rhea]

I'm like a Hudson Williams Stan. I love Connor as well. Yeah, but.

[Fran]

But you.

[Rhea]

Lean Hudson. Eileen Hudson Hudson.

[Fran]

It's okay.

[Rhea]

His personality is so funny. I'm obsessed with everything he says and does publicly. It's so funny. They're personalities in real life are opposite. Opposite of what they are in the show for sure. Because the people say, like, Shane Hollander would be scared of Hudson Williams personality.

[Fran]

Totally.

[Rhea]

And it's so true. I. I love it. Another standout in a not so great way for me, Glenn Powell.

[Fran]

You didn't like the blue?

[Rhea]

No, I liked the blue.

[Fran]

Was it the hair?

[Rhea]

I didn't like his hair.

[Fran]

I think. I think it's because they're getting ready to shoot Chadwick.

[Rhea]

They are. I think they're gearing up the shoot now, season two.

[Fran]

So he has to go back to that blonde, that heavy blonde.

[Rhea]

The way that it was styled. I actually. I was peeing when I first saw it. I almost dropped my phone in the toilet. I was.

[Fran]

Would have matched the color in the toilet.

[Rhea]

Yeah, it would. I'm hydrated. No, I just.

[Fran]

Yeah, it's. It's. It's. It's blonde. I didn't. I didn't like the way. Platinum, but it's blonde.

[Rhea]

That wasn't. I wasn't crazy about the. That my stylist looked fantastic. You know who looked damn good? Michael B. Jordan.

[Fran]

He did.

[Rhea]

I loved his sunglasses. Michael B. Jordan looked jerking.

[Fran]

Jacob Elordi. I also loved his. I mean, he always looks fantastic, but I really loved his. I thought it was just like.

[Rhea]

Well, if we're talking about guys and. Yeah, I think Michael B. Jordan stole the show for me.

[Fran]

Yeah, that's fair. That's. That's so fair. I thought. I thought Damson also was fant. I really liked his. Like, the structure of his jacket was really great. I love that guys really, I think, are doing so much more on red carpets. I appreciate it. There's. There's better looks. It's not just a classic tux.

[Rhea]

It's.

[Fran]

They're putting a lot of effort, different design flair. It's a lot of fun. A guy that. I did not like Timothy's. I'm sorry. I really did not like Timothy's look. I. I really did not. It looked like he was wearing a sweater.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I agree.

[Fran]

He wasn't, but it looked like a sweater.

[Rhea]

Not to be too particular about, you know, I feel like I'M really roasting them right now.

[Fran]

It's okay.

[Rhea]

I want Timothy to grow his hair out again. Although it's cute. Yeah, it's cute.

[Fran]

He probably is just, you know, he can only grow as fast as it can.

[Rhea]

I know. But when you look at the past two Golden Globes.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

That he's been at and then this one.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I was like, aw.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And this and his curls.

[Fran]

It makes him look older, I think the shorter hair.

[Rhea]

Oh, maybe that's what he was going for.

[Fran]

Yeah. Because when I saw those pictures of like him and Kylie at the last three Golden Globes, I was like, oh, he looked younger. Yeah, Kylie was. Kylie looked gorgeous. Once again, our complaints from the critics choice. I actually do think it was a little bit more glam carpet. Obviously. Still body. A bodycon. Because she was showing off that non existent waist.

[Rhea]

We need to see that small lace and that fat ass. Uh huh.

[Fran]

But I thought it was the details. The dress itself was gorgeous. That. The beading over the shoulder. Beautiful.

[Rhea]

And I loved her ponytail.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

I will say, I thought Leonardo DiCaprio looked dashing. He did. I thought he looked really handsome last night. He looked a little bit younger than he's been looking.

[Noah]

I was thinking the same thing.

[Fran]

That's St. Bart's son.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

It must have been getting stuck on that yacht.

[Fran]

I got to the island.

[Rhea]

I just think he looked like refreshed last night. You know, he's been looking older recently.

[Noah]

Did you see the meme that everyone's like, I don't know what that was. Was. But they caught him at the table doing like, oh, well, it looked like.

[Rhea]

He was telling somebody in person about them not knowing that what K Pop demon hunters was. And he was like, I saw you go look around with a K popping and then like pretending to clap.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Which was the most personality we've ever seen from Leonardo DiCaprio. And I'm like, is Leo, is Leo a funny guy?

[Noah]

He's got to be hilarious.

[Fran]

I feel like I, you know, I don't know about that because I was laughing because I was like, we are laughing at him in this moment. But guess what? He's doing acting. Because he was impersonating. I don't know who he was impersonating, but he was impersonating someone. Like, that was not. That was not his personality.

[Noah]

Funny.

[Rhea]

Yeah. At the end of the day, he's just an amazing actor.

[Fran]

At the end of the day, he's just a fantastic actor who's doing someone else. What he's doing. I Loved. I loved. I'm just name a couple others. I loved. I loved Elle Fannings. The details on that was gorgeous. Loved Kate Hudson. Oh, just like, you know how you just admire a dress for its craftsmanship? That was one that just sparkled. What did you think about them doing the stairs? Oh, I loved it. Yeah.

[Rhea]

I thought very Met Gala. Very. I thought, very amped up.

[Fran]

I actually loved it.

[Rhea]

Loved it. Okay, I loved it. What I didn't love was Derek Hough prancing his feet on the stairs like that. Who asked you to do that? I'm sorry. I know. Derek Huff. Do you have to be dancing at every minute of the day?

[Fran]

Yeah, he's dancing through life.

[Rhea]

I mean, my God, did you see, first of all, pictures. Fine. When I saw the videos of him doing it, I thought, let's wrap it up. Derek, you know, I know you're getting ready for tour and such.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But we don't need you doing plies on. On the stairs over and over again like this. You're taking up time. Okay.

[Fran]

Yeah, he was.

[Rhea]

Taylor's trying to walk down the stairs, and he's in the way.

[Fran]

Right, right, right. Stairs for stairs are great for the shorter guys with their beautiful dates. Won't name names.

[Rhea]

Nick Jonas.

[Fran]

There were some photos where it's like, if you stand a step higher, things pan out.

[Rhea]

What is Nick Jonas? I'm sorry. I feel like Joan Rivers. What is Nick Jonas's Zoolander face that he pulls out every once in a while, but he's like, yeah, he does.

[Fran]

He's got a smolder.

[Rhea]

It's, like, so serious. I feel like it's coming at me at the screen.

[Fran]

He does it on his. He does it on his. On his Instagram video sometimes, too.

[Rhea]

It's so intense.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rhea]

I imagine that's how he looks at himself in the mirror when he wakes up.

[Fran]

They looked beautiful, him and Priyanka. Really? I thought they looked. I thought they looked lovely.

[Rhea]

I mean, what was that Ghost Steelers thing that Priyanka did on stage? That was awkward.

[Fran]

Yeah. I don't know. Maybe just a Pittsburgh. I don't know, is Pittsburgh. I thought to myself, did she ever live in Pittsburgh?

[Rhea]

I texted you all. I said, ghost Steelers. Question.

[Noah]

Yeah, they weren't even playing yesterday.

[Rhea]

No, it was.

[Fran]

Yeah, the Steelers played tonight. Tonight. Did they play tonight?

[Rhea]

I don't know.

[Fran]

Welsh, go Steelers for tomorrow. It still plays. No.

[Rhea]

Yes. But I just. In that moment. Did it play.

[Noah]

That's one of those where it's like. It was like a bet that someone did where it's like, yeah, right, right, right.

[Fran]

You have to somehow fit in ghost steelers into your. Into your Golden Globes appearance.

[Rhea]

If that's the case, great job. Then. I love it. I'm all for like a sneak a word in.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I didn't like that.

[Fran]

Jenna Ortega is our new, like, a new fashion icon. Not new because she's been doing it for a while now. But I love everything she does is different and cool. I thought this one was super cool. Tessa Thompson. Amazing. Britney Snow. I loved that. Daniel Frankel white. Very bridal, but structured, cool shape.

[Rhea]

I loved her hair too.

[Fran]

Like, it was like, oh, I just.

[Rhea]

Threw it in a little pony.

[Fran]

Really good. And then honestly, we had some of our reality TV stars that like. Alandria.

[Rhea]

Gorgeous, Gorgeous fucking gown. Stunning gown.

[Fran]

Stunning. The color just. I mean, she's just drop dead.

[Rhea]

So good.

[Fran]

You look at pictures of her, you're like, how is this a real person? She's. She's so stunning. And I thought Maura Higgins also looked fantastic. Classic black dress. But hair and makeup was amazing. And the cape jacket thing. Loved it. You didn't like it?

[Rhea]

No, I did. Oh. It just brought me to her wearing a cape. First of all, stunning. Will they pick her as a traitor? And I pray. I pray.

[Fran]

I don't think so. We'll talk about when we talk about.

[Rhea]

But I pray Robin run a peg. Her. Yeah. For.

[Fran]

For a trader.

[Rhea]

Because I think they're gonna go against Candace.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

From a little social media action. Sorry, I'm jumping ahead. We'll get there.

[Fran]

No, no, we'll get in there for sure. My, my. Oh, I had some worst. I'm not gonna name all of them because, you know, I don't need to list people who I thought were poorly dressed. But. But there were two. Two standouts. Two standouts for me that maybe. Maybe controversial. I could see some people loving it. Jlo.

[Rhea]

I hate.

[Fran]

I really did not like.

[Rhea]

Really?

[Fran]

Yeah. I. Something about it. I don't know if it was the color or that that's style to me, is just really not my favorite. The, like, mermaid with the tool at the bottom. I just. I don't like it and I hate to say it because I love her and she's stunning and she's gorgeous. Zoe Kravitz. I really didn't like that dress. It felt like a nightgown to me. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. I just think she's so cool and has such cool style that she could have worn something way cooler than that.

[Noah]

What's that dress?

[Rhea]

Versace.

[Fran]

It was. I'll tell you in one second.

[Rhea]

I'd like to know what that dress was.

[Fran]

Yeah. Like, it made me think. It made me think almost more of a. I don't know, like, kind of Chanel Y. But I thought it was. I think it's vintage something. It lacy lingerie slip dress that was do, do, do, do Saint Laurent.

[Rhea]

Okay. I actually really liked it. And I will say this.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

Which is so random. Last night, I was playing pretend in my brain as I was watching the red carpet, and I googled vintage designer gowns just in my head going, what would I wear?

[Fran]

Just to see what the options are, you know?

[Rhea]

And just, like, playing pretend, being like, what would I wear if I was invited to this? Not that I think that's realistic, but just for fun. And I saw a dress that was strikingly similar to Zoe Kravitz. And when she walked that red carpet, I thought, oh, my God, we could have been twinning if I was there.

[Fran]

Damn. In your mind, you're going, oh, my God, Zoe, how funny.

[Rhea]

How funny. You picked my imaginary dress. If I were ever invited to the Golden Globes. Which won't happen.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But oh, my God, twins.

[Fran]

And. And I'm not, like, once again, she looks beautiful. I think her hair and makeup, stunning. I think dress just didn't wow me.

[Rhea]

I think I'm just a Zoe Kravitz. Stan. That whatever she does, I'm like, yes, yes.

[Fran]

No. Well, that is very fair. That is very fair.

[Rhea]

That is very fair. Saying, I am Zoe Kravitz and I have my own shrooms. And then Dave Franco being like, I am not Zoe Kravitz, and I'll take your shrooms. Yeah. Good banter. And then Zeth. Seth. Seth Rogen winning that award. Yeah. Can we script anything better?

[Fran]

Extremely meta. For all the wins for the studio at the Golden Globes. If you watch the show, you get it. And obviously, the Golden Globes did this on purpose with who would be presenting these awards with the. You know, obviously you would hope that they would win, and they had that happen. For Zoe and Dave Franco, who are in the show to give that award, and also for Adam Scott, who's also in the show in that Golden Globes episode, to hand out the Golden Globe in real life.

[Rhea]

Yes. Couple thoughts that just popped into my brain. Number one, Odessa as Ion is really just a stunning human being.

[Fran]

She is.

[Rhea]

And I want to point that out, because she's not a. She wasn't nominated for any awards, but Marty nominated. Second, back to people presenting what was that weird wrestler bit that happened right before I had.

[Fran]

That ran down in my notes and.

[Rhea]

Hudson got on that stage.

[Fran]

That was a Paramount plus UFC ad that was really pointless because they said no words and did nothing.

[Rhea]

They just came out.

[Fran]

Why did they just come out and then do nothing and do nothing?

[Rhea]

I was like, oh, my God, are we ready to rumble? It felt like a fight was going to work out.

[Fran]

If you're going to do the ad, at least make it an ad. Well, do something.

[Rhea]

Right? And we were watching, and they came out, and then Hudson and Connor came out, and Matt was like, oh, okay. That's why the UFC people came out, because, like, he did rivalry, quote, unquote. And I was like, stretch. Not following that.

[Fran]

That's a stretch. And that, to be honest, that could be their thought process, but it feels like a stretch.

[Rhea]

Major stretch. And I was like, I'm not following. I get what you're saying, but I feel like we're. Then it didn't land.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Other theory is clearly Hudson and Connor were thrown into this last minute because their stardom just happened.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

And these things are planned well in advance. Did they kick those two out of presenting that award? The UFC people?

[Fran]

No.

[Rhea]

And kick them out of presenting that award? And so they were like, okay, to make up for it, we're gonna have you do.

[Fran]

No, they weren't gonna let the UFC people talk. Let's be real.

[Rhea]

Yeah. You're just like, you, Russell. That's it.

[Fran]

You come out here, you do nothing, and you hold your belts and you walk off. Why did you do that to them? I don't understand.

[Rhea]

I'm trying to wrap my head around it. And that's why I was thinking.

[Noah]

I saw Robbie Fox tweet about, like, that was awesome.

[Fran]

I guess.

[Noah]

I love that they didn't say anything.

[Fran]

Right?

[Rhea]

I guess.

[Fran]

Strong, silent type.

[Rhea]

I don't know.

[Fran]

You just, like, go in and intimidate everybody.

[Rhea]

Right?

[Fran]

And then walk. If I was sitting there, I'd be.

[Rhea]

Like, what's about to happen? Is John Cena going to jump out?

[Fran]

Like, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. I was like, is frickin. What's his face like, Dana White going.

[Noah]

To, like, WWE or ufc?

[Fran]

Ufc.

[Rhea]

It was ufc. So I say John Ceno. You get it?

[Fran]

Yeah. Semantics, Noah.

[Rhea]

Right? Seriously, please go along with the bit.

[Noah]

No, but wwe, they're like actors in a way.

[Rhea]

Like, they were breaking the table.

[Fran]

Well, they would have done it. Yeah, exactly. That probably would us. He's like, for real?

[Rhea]

Like, it would have been better if it was WWE and they could break a table or something and like a whole thing. Bizarre. But yeah.

[Fran]

And then like trying to really tie that into the to heat of rivalry. I was like, it's just sports, right? I think there's sports, right?

[Rhea]

Like all like the actors and actors. Let's throw it together.

[Fran]

Did you see Mary Beth ask each of them, would you rather be a gay hockey player or street? Yes.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Fran]

Oh, man, she cracks me up. That was funny. But no, that was. That really did seem weirdly placed. They did just throw that in there because like I'm sure you. I'm sure you stream UFC on Paramount plus.

[Rhea]

Yes, I think. Who knows?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Who do you think though? They kicked out of the presenting to put them in there because 1000% that was a last minute addition.

[Noah]

Well, Charli XCX and Joe Keery, they presented the score that wasn't televised, which I thought, like they're pretty big, both of them, to not be televised or presented.

[Rhea]

Oh, maybe it was them too then who got booted because they were at the same table.

[Fran]

It was a time, maybe a time thing because they did Song and then they also did score, but they cut score out.

[Noah]

Oh, did they? Did they present song too?

[Fran]

Yeah, they did.

[Noah]

So they were on tv. No, I saw that they did score too, I thought. And that maybe. Maybe I have it mixed up.

[Fran]

They just did. They did song because they did that K Pop golden.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

Golden one. When it came up.

[Rhea]

They did that one on the topic of K Pop Demon Hunters, which I know is so popular. So, you know, I say this with fear. I was really bummed that Sinners didn't win original song there. And honestly, as a whole, there's a lot of talk about sinners getting snubbed. And here's the thing. I did not watch the movie that Wagner won for with best actor drama.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

So I can't say whether or not I think Michael B. Jordan was snubbed in that category. Was I rooting for Michael B. Jordan? Absolutely. Because he was fantastic and he played two characters.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But I didn't see the mov. The, the guy in the movie that did.

[Fran]

What was it? Secret Agent.

[Noah]

Secret Agent, yeah.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I didn't see that.

[Noah]

So I think all people are raving about it.

[Rhea]

But yeah, I can't say. I can't say if it was a snub or not. I know that K Pop, it's so big.

[Fran]

Golden, unfortunately. It's just hard to argue with that song.

[Rhea]

So hard to argue.

[Fran]

It's hard to argue with how successful that song was.

[Noah]

But it's like that scene, Sinners.

[Fran]

It's smart. I agree. In a movie ever, in my opinion. That's unbelievable and fantastic. I mean, golden is Ielts. It's a great song.

[Rhea]

They're different.

[Fran]

They're very different. Golden's a golden Oscar pop song.

[Rhea]

But you love the song golden, do you?

[Fran]

I think when I hear that song, it's stuck in my head for days. I do like it.

[Rhea]

I mean, it definitely sticks with you, but I'm not going out of my way to listen to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know?

[Fran]

Yeah, I know. I. I get it. The Sinners did win for original score, which was great. But, yeah, it's. I. I didn't like.

[Rhea]

I don't.

[Fran]

And, you know, I don't like this whole. I get why they did it, but I don't really like this whole box office achievement award because it's like.

[Rhea]

Feels like participation.

[Fran]

Yeah. It's like, oh, your movie did well, so we'll give you this award. But you're not good enough to win the other ones, which is because Sinners was so good and they're not the. They're not in the discussion enough.

[Rhea]

And it's so hard. Right. Because one battle after another is really taking home a lot of those. Yeah. And one battle after another.

[Fran]

Well, it's also a great movie as well, so it's really hard. It is hard, but I feel like.

[Rhea]

Sinners isn't getting enough appreciation.

[Fran]

Sinners was just something so different.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I feel like it'll do well, the Oscar. I feel like all these minor, like, subcategories, like, mess everything up.

[Fran]

I don't know those. Because sometimes it's like, oh, when you ship. When you separate musical comedy and drama, it's like, then the category is a lot.

[Noah]

It's smaller.

[Rhea]

But then the Oscars is all of it combined, like.

[Fran]

Yeah. So it's like. So then it's not. It's gonna be Michael B. Jordan against Chalamet and Leo.

[Rhea]

Right. And then, like, ham knit against one battle after another.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Which is going to be, I think, a tough one. But I feel like it. I feel like it's edging towards one battle after another.

[Fran]

Yeah, it does feel that way.

[Rhea]

And I feel like Timothee Chalamet, people.

[Noah]

Are saying he's like, a lock now. I think I could see it just. That would be so funny.

[Rhea]

I was talking to Jeff D. Lowe about this.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. I'd actually be heartbreaking for him. I'm not going to Lie.

[Rhea]

He's like an Oscars fanatic. Jeff D. Lowe. And he was like, it's basically a walk that Timothee Chalmat is getting an Oscar. And I was like, can you explain this to me, though? Because.

[Fran]

Sometimes, yeah, there's a shot, there's.

[Rhea]

Sometimes there's a shocker. Sometimes there's a shocker. Yeah. And it was just. He was sending me all these stats and all this. You know, they get very.

[Fran]

Looking at the data, looking into the.

[Rhea]

Into the data that goes on there. And that'll be great for Timothy. We'll be very happy for him. Obviously, we've been rooting for him. But I'm also like Michael B. Jordan, I don't think. Leonardo.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I think when you are like Oscars fanatic, like these people are, and they have all the data and data, whatever they got. I feel like they.

[Noah]

But it's just like, I feel it. Doesn't it feel like a little bit bandwagony where it's like, oh, well, he's. Oh, we're just all gonna agree that he gets every award at every show. Like, he was incredible, obviously.

[Rhea]

But they all happen every year. Every year.

[Noah]

I'm saying, like. Yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

I guess I also think it's pretty universal that often.

[Fran]

I feel like it's pretty universal that often, like, there is a trend. Whereas, like, if you start winning, you're probably gonna win most of them. And yeah, there are people that come in and surprise and you're like, oh, my God, blah, blah, won the Golden Globe and the actor award and this and that. And then they don't want. They don't win the Oscar. But it's like, if they're winning all these other ones, don't you think they should probably win the Oscar?

[Noah]

Yeah, I always try to say, like, they don't. Well, one doesn't mean the other.

[Rhea]

Sometimes they don't, though. Like when he won for Bob Dylan, for one thing, and then didn't win after that, it's like it's sometimes feels random and other times seems like a trend.

[Fran]

Right. It's also why, like with the Golden Globes, it's all set. It's separate.

[Rhea]

So you just. I don't know.

[Fran]

The Golden Globes are not like, not the biggest predictor towards.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So. But there's a lot of good wins I love, like Rose Byrne winning, I thought was great. That was a movie I haven't seen, but I've heard amazing things about it. I think it's so funny that Bobby Cannavale was not There with her because they promised her kids that they were gonna get some, like, bearded dragon, and there was some lizard expo, reptile expo, that they were going to get the bearded dragon. It was the same day. So he had to take the kids to go get the. To go get it. Mrs. Mrs. Or win.

[Rhea]

So funny.

[Fran]

But yeah. And. And, yeah. I felt like, across the board, one battle. Tiana Taylor winning. Amazing. She's so good in that. Love her adolescence. I like. Good. I. I don't want to, like, good for adolescents. I'm happy for them. They won every award. I never watched it. It feels like it's been forever ago. So I'm like, let's.

[Noah]

That might be, like.

[Rhea]

I felt happy for him.

[Fran]

Yeah. I was really rooting for Sarah. All her fault. She was so good.

[Rhea]

Oh, Sarah Snook for.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I will say. And Michelle Williams was. Was good in that show. I stopped watching that show. Yeah. And I thought it was a shock to me. Yeah. That she won that category.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Because I thought Sarah was so good. I know. I thought. I mean, Claire Danes. Why I got her name in the BCB was really good. Who else? People were really critiquing Amanda's Seyfried. Oh.

[Fran]

After Rose won and.

[Rhea]

And before she started, like, clapping. Before the name was even announced.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And people were kind of like, all right, we get it. You don't think you were gonna win. But, like, I feel like that's funny, you know? No, it wasn't like, a let. She wasn't, like, laughing.

[Noah]

No, no, I saw it. I'm saying, like, I feel like that was, like, a funny thing to do. Like, I know I'm not gonna win, so I'm just gonna start clapping before they.

[Rhea]

Yeah. And I. You know, it's just hard to predict how you would react in those moments of, like, losing.

[Noah]

Remember when Tarantino did he. He drank a whole glass of water before that, and then when they announced, he spit it all out. Like. I don't know.

[Rhea]

I think it's just hard. Like, I am not gonna be mad at somebody for being upset about not winning an award.

[Fran]

Oh, I agree. I agree.

[Rhea]

Because. I agree. That's a natural reaction.

[Fran]

Yeah. The. What's his name? Owen Cooper. Is that his name?

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah. And, like, you just see Wallow and Goggins go, wow. It's like, yeah, Walt Goggins probably, like, damn. Got beat by a teenager. Right. And that's totally fine. Like, he's great. And that's. And that's. That's just the way it. That's just the way it goes.

[Rhea]

But then I also do believe, like, people get on Ariana Grande for, like, being so excited when Tiana Taylor. 1. Like, I do believe Ariana Grande was very excited for Tiana Taylor.

[Noah]

Like, like, you don't want to overdo it. You're saying.

[Rhea]

No, I'm saying it's fine if you're. If you jump up and are excited for the other person. Because it's very possible that Ariana Grande, in her head was like, I'm not winning this war, but I'm going to be very happy for who does. Then when Teyana Taylor gets, you know, she may love her and be like, oh, my God, fudge. Yeah. Like, she won. And that's great. You know, if you're not rooting. If, like, I'd like to think if.

[Noah]

Did you see this award show where the dog won over the weekend and people were freaking out about that? No, but you didn't see this. It was like, against, like, real in.

[Fran]

The movie about the dog. Like, when you're like, in the dogs.

[Noah]

One best, like, I don't know, best actor or whatever. But yeah, people are like, imagine losing to a dog. Like, you're at.

[Rhea]

I know, but at the same time, like, I'd like to think if it's not gonna be me, well, I'm happy it's them. That type of thing when you lose an award. Yeah. Like, oh, well, it's not gonna be me. Well, I'm happy it's Teyana Taylor.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Trying to think of, oh, I post on my story. That kid that's in all her faults.

[Rhea]

Oh, my God, he is so cute.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. I forgot to include him in my best dressed. He looked so adorable. His talking about. Talking about his after. He's like, I got to pick my costume.

[Noah]

Oh, my God.

[Rhea]

When he said costume, I was like, this is the best thing ever.

[Fran]

Like jewelry and. Oh, my God, he was so cute. His poses on the car. Oh, my God, what a little star he is.

[Rhea]

And when he was talking about Sarah Snook, he goes, she laughed with me. She played with me. She was so nice to me. I was like, please, we want more of him. Why was he not nominated?

[Fran]

Seriously?

[Rhea]

He wins best supporting Actor.

[Fran]

Like, just. What a precious. What a precious little angel. And he has like. He's just. As one of those names now. You know that you're just like, this is a. This is a kid of this time.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Duke McCloud.

[Rhea]

Yeah. He's so.

[Noah]

Dude, that's like a Leonard DiCaprio.

[Fran]

Like Duke McLeod, like, I'm Lil Duke ruin for you, pal. He's so fucking cute.

[Rhea]

I couldn't.

[Fran]

I could. Not his glambot. I mean, he crushed it. And what's. His face was like, you ready? Like you got your post ready? He was like, yeah. He was like, I got it. I'm ready. Straight. Like, oh, my God, he crushed it. What a cute. What a cute, adorable kid. I loved it.

[Rhea]

Love when young kids have confidence like that.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And then I just hope that they don't get their confidence beaten down by this industry. I really do. Because watching them just have this. They. What is it?

[Fran]

Naivete.

[Rhea]

Yeah. About them. And I'm like, I fucking love it. Like, it's so cute.

[Fran]

He just loves. Loves acting, pure heart. I mean, he's so cute. Some other moments that stuck out to me, Selena and Miley taking pictures together. Everybody was freaking out about that. They love when they see them together. Apparently, maybe Selena swapped seats with somebody for a little bit to sit next to Miley. A lot of Nick Jonas jokes are flying around as well online. I saw of, you know, seeing pictures of Selena and Miley together, and.

[Rhea]

Timmy.

[Fran]

Really is enamored with Kylie Jenner. And, you know, like, the CBS directors must have been like, fuck yes when they caught that moment on camera because they. During commercial breaks, there'd be like a. Maybe a 10 seconds where they cut to the crowd and then it would go back to, like, another commercial. And when they caught this moment of, like, Timmy, like, going in for multiple kisses and being like, I love you, like, they were like, gold. We got gold. I love it. Oh, they're adorable. They're so cute. They're so cute.

[Rhea]

And did you see the pictures of them when Kylie realized her name plate said Kylie Jenner Chalamet? I didn't see that. So her name thing said Kylie Jenner Dash Chalamet. And there's pictures of her, like, of them laughing together. Like, show her showing him and him being, like, laughing, which is funny. I wonder if it's because she was with the Chalamet party.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. You know, it's just like a.

[Rhea]

Or if they were just like.

[Noah]

I mean, also whoever's making that knows Kylie Jenner. Like, they know that's not her name.

[Rhea]

They know it's not Kylie Jenner Chalemaid.

[Fran]

But I think maybe like Kylie Jenner Chalamet group.

[Rhea]

Right. That's what I'm thinking it might be.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

Not her name is Kylie Jenner Chalamet.

[Fran]

Right. Love seeing Macaulay Culkin Happy to see him.

[Rhea]

Return of the bat. They played.

[Fran]

They played Starvin. When Hailee Steinfeld came out and I did not know, and I don't think, I don't know if they're married or not. I had no fucking clue. Paul Thomas Anderson and my Rudolph.

[Noah]

I always forget that.

[Fran]

Have been together for 25 years.

[Noah]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I always forget that too. Like I know it and then I forget it and then I remember it.

[Fran]

They've got four kids and they've been together since 2001.

[Noah]

That's crazy.

[Fran]

Had no fucking clue. That's awesome. When he kissed her, I went, what? He turned around and smooched Maya Rudolph. I couldn't have googled it faster. I went, awesome. God, he's smooching Maya Rudolph.

[Rhea]

I had no.

[Fran]

I absolutely no idea. So love seeing that. And yes. And then they closed with Julia Roberts and George Clooney. Everybody loves. They brought out Don Cheadle for a little ocean's joke moment. I thought the Timothy joke was very funny and I thought it was good. They really. I felt like presenters did a good job. Like nobody really bombed. There wasn't any cringy jokes. You know who I fucking love? Wanda Sykes.

[Rhea]

So good. She always makes me so funny.

[Fran]

Always makes me laugh when she, when she comes out on stage. The Bill Maher joke.

[Rhea]

Hilarious. So funny.

[Noah]

And hey, you could tell he was like, not happy.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Which makes it even funnier, right?

[Rhea]

Oh, she's so good.

[Fran]

So, so good. You know, she's like Sarah Silverman. Haven't talked in five years. Love ya.

[Rhea]

She was amazing. That was good.

[Fran]

Really, really, really, really funny on everyone. And Mickey crushed it again. I hope this is a long standing job for her.

[Rhea]

I hope so. I hope it's just like set in stone.

[Fran]

Her dresses every single time. We didn't mention it. Every outfit change. Fantastic. The blue, like, sequin one. Oh, my God.

[Rhea]

Took the words out of my mouth. That's what I was gonna say. Holy. That dress was one of the best dresses I've ever seen. Yeah. Like, jaw dropping.

[Fran]

She looked such a good color.

[Rhea]

Gorgeous. Yeah. Like Cinderella. Yeah, it was perfect.

[Fran]

Cinderella. It was so good, so good.

[Rhea]

So, such an entertaining show.

[Fran]

[Fran]

Tangled. Oh, we're going Tangled and Coco first.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I didn't know if you wanted to go Traders first.

[Rhea]

No, no. You just. Because I have, like, I can't even stop.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I can't stop beaming about it. And I have a lot to say about Traders.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Rhea]

Same Tangled.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

My goodness gracious. When I looked up that this movie came out in 2010, I couldn't have been more disappointed in myself. What do you mean to tell me this movie came out 16 years ago? You were in middle school and I was in middle school and didn't see this movie. I know. Something tells me that I may have saw. Saw it back then, but I would remember this movie because that you were.

[Fran]

Like the kind of middle school kid that that'd be like, I'm not seeing Tangled.

[Rhea]

Absolutely not. Not. What do you mean? Middle school kid at One Sea Tangled.

[Fran]

I was obsessed with Disney. Yeah.

[Rhea]

Obsessed with anything.

[Fran]

Disney does high go through the phases of like, I don't want to watch like an animated. Absolutely not.

[Rhea]

I loved anything having to do with Disney while also listening to Lil Wayne.

[Fran]

I don't know.

[Rhea]

You know what I mean? Like, so Tangled slipped by me, I guess. And I'm so disappointed that it did because whoever said that it would be like, like one of my favorite movies is absolutely correct. And actually, Kelly Keeg said this. She was like, this is so shocking to me because Tangled is like, so Ria.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And Coco is so Fran.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And yet we both have seen the opposite and we have come together to now see these. Not only was this a great Disney animated film, it was just A really fucking good movie.

[Fran]

Good movie.

[Rhea]

It had all the elements. It was heartwarming. It was suspenseful love story. It had surprise. It had chemistry off the charts. It had tons of love. It had an evil mother. It just had everything, you know? And I just was stunned. It took me by surprise how many elements of it there really was to this movie, because I thought it was just gonna be like a Disney film. And honestly, though, crazy of me to think, because I am somebody who loves a lot of Disney films that do have a lot of these elements, that it's not just a cookie cutter movie. Rapunzel and Flynn in that lantern scene, the way that my heart felt and then the way I felt like I got fucking stepped on. When it seemed like he was betraying her, all because of her stupid, ugly, evil mother. I was so upset. I was livid. And I thought, this movie can't end the way that I think it's gonna end, because then.

[Fran]

Yeah, you do. You said. It's a hilarious text. Guys, what the fuck?

[Rhea]

Flynn finds his way back to Rapunzel. Finds her trapped in the tower by her wretched mother. By the way, when she started pushing her mom around, I was like, yes. What is happening? Are we watching an A24 film? I couldn't believe he comes back. Spoiler alert. It seems like he dies. Number one, he chops her hair off. Could have been five inches lower. He chopped it real short.

[Fran]

Yeah. Dramatic effect.

[Rhea]

Dramatic effect. Number two, I thought, why can't you just let her save you and then cut the hair? You know what I mean? It's a plan they would have had to drum up together because they weren't. They couldn't communicate. The mom was in the corner. They didn't have the time. But I was like, if she saves you, then you cut the hair, then we get rid of her. When I thought he died, oh, my God. I was so livid with all of you. I texted you guys. Guys, what the. Who the would ever recommend this movie?

[Noah]

Right?

[Fran]

You're like, why do you guys love this movie so much? This is the ending.

[Rhea]

And if you love this movie so much, get the away from me. I want nothing to do with you anymore. The podcast is over.

[Fran]

Yeah. I would not.

[Rhea]

And then shortly, two minutes after, her tear saves him. Her special little tear. And talk about a steamy, passionate kiss. Yeah. Between two animated characters. That was a hot kiss for Disney that I.

[Fran]

People are. You know, Flynn Rider is a sexy animated character. He is.

[Rhea]

And Rapunzel is gorgeous.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

It was perfect. It was. And I knew I would like it, but I wasn't expect. Because when something's so hyped up, you just never know.

[Fran]

You never know. But Tangled is one that I confidently say, like, lives up. Lives up to the hype. For people who haven't seen it.

[Rhea]

After we had talked about it and our clip went majorly viral online of us talking about it. Not really. I had friends reach out to me.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Being like, you've never seen Tangled. What the fuck? And they were like, it's the best. And I was like, okay, now I'm getting too many people telling me it's the best.

[Fran]

Right.

[Rhea]

Where you never want to end up in that position.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Because it's high stakes.

[Fran]

Yeah. And then you're worried about your reaction. You're like, am I gonna like it enough to make everybody happy?

[Rhea]

No, it was the best. Yes.

[Fran]

It was so, so good.

[Rhea]

Good.

[Fran]

And the music is so good.

[Rhea]

I watched it Saturday night in the rain. It was so good.

[Fran]

Yeah. Rapunzel and Flynn Rider would be a great Halloween costume for you and Matt.

[Rhea]

That's a good one, isn't it? That's a good one. I gotta throw a couple more highlights in my hair.

[Fran]

No, that was definitely. But like, I feel like that works.

[Rhea]

That is a good costume. Now. I'll have to keep that in the bank now though. Keep that in mind.

[Fran]

Keep that in mind.

[Rhea]

It just. Mother knows best. Yeah. So good. I actually started taking notes on the movie.

[Fran]

The music. And is so good too.

[Rhea]

I started taking notes.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But then I stopped because I was so into it.

[Fran]

You were into it. That's what happens.

[Rhea]

But I'll read the three that I wrote.

[Fran]

Three, huh?

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I only wrote three.

[Fran]

Three big thoughts.

[Rhea]

Three big thoughts. And then I said, I have to put my phone down. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz I thought if I just focus on writing notes the whole time, I won't really take it out for sure. So my first note was Gothel is wretched. Capital letters on wretched.

[Fran]

Mm.

[Rhea]

Then I said this about her. All three notes are about the mother. She is pretty though. So I get why she wants the flower. But like, bitch, get over it. You're right. You're aging.

[Fran]

It's like, I get it. Because you were pretty. So it's like you're really trying to hold onto that.

[Rhea]

Right. And then I said her attitude makes her uglier because she is very pretty. But with her stinky ass attitude, it makes her. Yep.

[Fran]

Correct.

[Rhea]

Correct. Horrid looking.

[Fran]

Rapunzel's little chameleon. Also my favorite.

[Rhea]

So Cute. Love him. So, so cute. Such a perfect addition. Every princess.

[Fran]

Every princess. He's an animal friend.

[Rhea]

And I felt like such a princess after watching I did.

[Fran]

I was like, so good with the lanterns. Oh, my God, it was so cute. It's just beautiful. And I really just felt like such.

[Rhea]

A pretty princess after.

[Fran]

I was like, ah, getting to reunite.

[Rhea]

I'm Rapunzel. I felt it, though, because I was like, oh, my God. She spends most of her time brushing her hair and her hair means everything to her.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And then she cuts it off, which I will not be doing. No, no, no, no, I won't be. But I understand the sentiment of the story. What I didn't love, though, there's one. There's a couple of. No, it's an A movie for me, by the way. Solid. A Number one, the chopping. Too short. Number two, the way they made it seem like brown hair was horrific. Right. They were like. And then it went brown. It turns brown.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

Like, oh, well, let's be nice.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. It's just, you know, the.

[Rhea]

The moral.

[Fran]

The blonde is the magic.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

The blonde holds the magic.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

And. And, you know, you gotta make. It's gotta change somehow know.

[Rhea]

Exactly. I just feel like we could have picked like any other color.

[Fran]

Right. She could. It could have been more like a balayage moment.

[Rhea]

Like, you know, could have kept some highlights dull. Yeah. You know what I mean? She just needs a refresh.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

So. And yeah. But Mandy Moore, obviously. What a voice.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. It's really. It's so good a movie. I love it. I'm so glad. I love it. So glad. I was just like, oh, my God, I feel like such a pretty princess.

[Rhea]

See?

[Fran]

And now isn't it exciting that they're.

[Rhea]

Doing a live action and honestly, perfect casting. Perfect casting. Because she has these big green eyes and Teagan Croft seems to have the same.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

So.

[Fran]

And I think like we said with Milo, also. Fantastic.

[Rhea]

Yeah. I could talk. Honestly, I said I had a lot to say about trainers, but I could talk about Tangled for hours upon hours. It just makes you feel all the things you want to feel.

[Fran]

Totally.

[Rhea]

So freaking cute. And it makes you, you know, just love, love.

[Fran]

And I love love stories like that.

[Rhea]

And the chemistry was just.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

Off the charts. Speaking of chemistry, now, listen, I. I don't want to get into this too much. People we meet on vacation. I didn't read the book. I gotta preface that. I posted on my story that I thought it was cute. I thought it was fine. Whatever. It didn't make me feel things. And when I watch a movie like that, I wanna feel things. Things. I thought that Emily Bader was a great actress.

[Fran]

Yeah, I think she's great.

[Rhea]

All of my DMs were filled with people saying that you are her twin. Were you getting the same thing? I was constant, endless, endless that you guys are twins.

[Fran]

She's adorable, so I'll take it. But I. You know.

[Rhea]

We.

[Fran]

She's got. She's got those, like, big light eyes. I don't have those.

[Rhea]

That's. But I. I see.

[Fran]

No, but I. I think I understand.

[Rhea]

I see similarities.

[Fran]

Yes, I think we.

[Rhea]

But I think when you know someone so well, it's hard to be like, yes, that person's that doctor.

[Fran]

I think we have a very similar vibe, if that makes sense. Like, I don't know. I don't know too much. I'm. Now, of course, like, I'm seeing all their interviews and things where she just seems not to be. Like, she seems really cool. Like, we. I'm just really cool. I'm really cool. She's really cool.

[Rhea]

But we.

[Fran]

I think we would have similar banter. Like, she was talking about a moment with. Was it maybe a song or something? I forget what exactly it was, but she just, like, mentioned Neopets in a interview. And I was like, this girl's for me. You know, this girl's for me. And her and Tom Blythe were going back and forth, arguing about Busted, the band in the UK that has the original year 3000.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And because he was saying that was the. His first concert, and she was like, the Joe. You mean the Jones Brothers song? And he was like, no, no, it's Busted. She's like, no, like. And whatever. They come to realize, obviously the Jones Brothers cover that song, but I just. I just think. I just think we would be friends. I think we have similar energy.

[Rhea]

I could totally see that.

[Noah]

That.

[Rhea]

I see the similarities in certain points. But I said this to you. You're. You're way more Italian. You know what I mean? Like, you're coloring and all and everything.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I was like, oh, you get, you know, you get really tan. You have olive skin. So slight differences. Slight similarities. Yeah. But I. Seriously.

[Noah]

Absolutely.

[Fran]

I was, like, responding to people. I was like, oh, my God, thank you so much.

[Rhea]

She is gorgeous and so cute. And people were just flooding.

[Fran]

Yeah. I didn't realize that My Lady Jane. Only it got canceled after one season.

[Rhea]

Oh, did it? Yeah. I know.

[Fran]

People loved it. I tried to watch it, but I, I.

[Rhea]

You didn't like the male character. You talked about the male character. Yeah. Fair.

[Fran]

Granted. I only really only watched, like, I think, two episodes.

[Rhea]

If he's not roping you in.

[Fran]

It didn't. It didn't rope me in.

[Rhea]

I get it.

[Fran]

Tom Blythe. He'll rope me in for sure. Here's.

[Rhea]

Here's the thing. So I felt like Alex's character was lacking any sort of depth.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

In the movie, I. It wasn't like I was rooting for them to be together. I almost didn't care if they ended up together or not. I felt like I was missing a lot of puzzle pieces to their relationship.

[Fran]

How they became so close.

[Rhea]

I felt like I didn't really see him yearning for her so much, you know? Like, I felt like it was lacking.

[Fran]

Yeah. It's unfortunate because, you know, it's. The bones are there, obviously, with the characters in the book, but I think when you make a book into a movie, you just always lose bits. And it's hard when a book is so beloved and people fucking love Emily Henry's writing and her characters because they kind of are different and quirky and not like your very stereotypical rom com characters that you just lose some of that. Like, there's a lot more yearning in the books. He has a lot more levels. You know, his mom dies in childbirth, and there's like, oh, that's a very important situation with Poppy having the pregnancy scare. There's just, like, a lot of moments that I understand why they cut it, because it would have taken up a lot of time to really do it right in a movie. But I understand that criticism of his character in this, that it's like he just sort of seems, like a little boring and.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

And you're like, I didn't really. In the movie, and I did really enjoy the movie, but it took a while for me to be like, oh, now I'm seeing that he's in love with her.

[Rhea]

Right. I wasn't feeling that, really. And that's why I wasn't really rooting for them to be together. I will say Poppy's character very much annoyed me in the beginning of the movie, but did grow on me. Like, I. I think it was the car scene.

[Fran]

They went a little hard on the car scene for sure.

[Rhea]

To start, it was like, all right, well, she's just coming across pl. Plain rude. Not, like quirky and cute. Just rude.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But then it. It grew and that kind of. I wasn't really annoyed with her in the rest of the movie, and I did like, what Emily Bader said was that she was trying to savor, like, her muchness. You know what I mean? Like, you don't want to dull who Poppy is, and I can totally get on board.

[Fran]

She did do a great job with.

[Rhea]

That messaging where it's like, you be you and you take up space in the room and do all that. I'm on board with that. I'm more stuck on the chemistry between the characters and not getting a lot of backstory and a lot of questions of, like, well, they weren't talking. Why was she invited to the wedding? How close are their families? How much do they talk when they're not on vacation? Some are saying this would have been better as a miniseries where each episode was a different vacation. I think I also saw that they changed, you know, whatever happened in Tuscany. But then in the book, it was Croatia. Then they had a drunken makeout and.

[Fran]

Then cut out all Croatia.

[Rhea]

There was a scene in the book where they're looking at their tinders and they both mutually say they would pick each other. And all these things that I'm realizing there was a lot of stuff in the book that was left out, but I didn't read the book book. I just. It didn't make me feel much. And I saw people hyping it up so much. So I was very excited to watch because we love a good rom com, but I wasn't rooting for them to be together. I didn't really care if they ended up together. And that's how I felt about it. Yeah.

[Fran]

And that's fine.

[Rhea]

But then on top of that, I.

[Fran]

Think also when you have a movie. Sorry. That has, like, where that happens, where you do find everybody immediately going back to the book to fill in moments or to give context, then you're kind of like, oh, well, I wish that was in it.

[Rhea]

You know? Yeah. I think, you know, overall, it was a. Lacking a bit of fire to me. Maybe that's what. Like a. Like. Like a. Oh, my God. I need these two to begin. Their chemistry is so off the charts. I need it to happen. That wasn't there for me. Me on top of this.

[Fran]

I do disagree. I will just say. Which is fine.

[Rhea]

Very fair.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Because it was. I posted on my story and there were people who loved it, but there were a lot of people who didn't and split on the book. Wow. Let me tell you.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I didn't realize this book was so.

[Fran]

Yeah. Some people love. Some people think it's her worst one.

[Rhea]

Oh, my God. My DMs were flooded with people being like, this is the. This was the worst book. Book I've ever picked up.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I couldn't even finish it. Or I did finish it and I rated it one star. Yeah. And I was like, let me tell you, not a raining endorsement for me to watch this. I need to read this book.

[Fran]

No, because I did think about reading.

[Rhea]

It after watching it to, like, fill in the blanks, but not raining endorsements.

[Fran]

I. The book is cute. I'm not. I'm really not a book hater. I think. Is it my favorite Emily Henry?

[Rhea]

No.

[Fran]

But I do think it's cute. And it's not like I'm not like, one star. Worst book I've ever read. I think it. A book needs to be really bad for me to get to that level and that there's nothing that's like, oh, my God, this is awful. In my mind, I did see a lot of people have, like, very mixed reviews on the book and then ended up loving the movie. So it's like, we're all over the place with this movie big time. Which I just think it's, you know what? We're getting into more of these books, adaptations into these movies is tough. And I do agree with everybody saying that I think this would have been better as a TV show. I absolutely agree with that. I've come to learn now with books that I have enjoyed or just books that I've read in general that are made into movies, I like, really try and separate them as much as I can, which is hard to do because it's the same. It's the same characters. But. But, you know, I'm kind of taking the book for what it is and the movie for what it is. And I really. I enjoyed the movie. Like, if I had not known anything about the book or what had happened, I would have really loved that movie. So I'm kind of just sticking with that because then, like, yes. Did I fall down a TikTok rabbit hole? Like, well, they didn't do this and they didn't do that. And then you're like, oh, wow. I wish they did all these things. But at the same time, if I were to watch the movie again, like, I still would. I still like it. I still think it was cute. So it's. It's hard when it comes from. From the book. And I know I. People in my DMs, too are like, I wish I didn't reread the book right before I watched the movie because it was different. Which is hard because if I did that. Then I would have watched the movie and been like, where the fuck is Croatia?

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

Like, then you're kind of disappointed. I read the book long and long ago enough when, like, I read the book right when it came out. And I've talked about this before with books with me, like, sometimes I really need a refresher because I'll read a book, and then six months later, I'm like, what the fuck happened in that book? Like, I don't remember.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Hi. And so, like, so I watched a movie, and I was like, oh, my God, Fucking love that movie. And then I went back and was like, reading the things from the book. I was like, wait a second. I forgot about all these things in the book.

[Rhea]

And you're like, I wish I never even saw this.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I get it. But I. I do disagree. I thought these two had fantastic chemistry. I really did. I thought they were a great ROM combo, and I. I liked their chemistry together for sure. So. But, you know, I. I understand. I understand.

[Rhea]

And I understand as well.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I'll give it a C plus because, like, was fine and cute for. For. You know what it was. But then on Top grade.

[Fran]

Honey.

[Rhea]

Yes. I mean, I actually texted you and I said, people we meet on vacation should be very scared that I watch Tangled tonight as well.

[Fran]

Yeah. Lots to live up to.

[Rhea]

It almost made Tangled even better. I was like, oh, wow, this is an amazing movie. Traders. So good. Yes. So happy. Traders is back.

[Noah]

Same.

[Rhea]

I mean, we're all in on the Traders this season, folks.

[Fran]

All in.

[Rhea]

I.

[Fran]

Could not have texted you guys faster, watching the first episode to be like, was I a little skeptical about Rob being cast on this season? Yes. Did it take three seconds for me to jump back on the Rob train?

[Rhea]

Sure did.

[Fran]

That guy's got me, you know, He's a snake charmer. He's got me in his spell. And no matter all the shit he's. All the shit he did on Love island, he's got. I'm like, oh, Rob.

[Rhea]

I saw people saying it's like seeing an ex.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Seeing, like, Rob is that ex that you were like, he was a piece of shit.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

Fuck him. I'm never talking to him again. And then month, you know, months, maybe a year goes by. All of a sudden, he pops back up. You're like, oh, yeah, what did you do?

[Fran]

And I didn't know how I was gonna feel. Like, I didn't know if he was gonna give, like, enough personality. But I feel like this is actually a great setting for him. I'm liking his energy.

[Rhea]

Me too. Him being a traitor was. Peacock knew what they were doing. We're get people to watch more screen time.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Very smart hit. The way that.

[Fran]

Because it was a surprise. The way that it's. They broke the mold of how they normally do. The traders.

[Rhea]

When Candace and Rinna reacted to Rob being a traitor and they just were jumping up and down screaming, it was everybody else's reaction. We were like, yes. And then they put it in the. You know, he's putting the hands in. And when he. And then he got back in there and he's like, girl. And I'm like, this is so perfect for him.

[Fran]

This is so good. They are.

[Rhea]

I am really rooting for the traitors hard.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

The only thing is, I'm very nervous about Candace already.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

She has done a eulogy for every person who has been sent home, making it quite apparent the conga line situation.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I saw Boss and Robin and Bob the drag queen talking about all this. I love those two together. Talking about the show. Boss and Rob hated the conga line so much, which is such a survivor, like, player reaction. And then on the conga line.

[Fran]

Had to have raised eyebrows.

[Rhea]

Had to have.

[Fran]

And then I see how wuz's face reacted. And then he got sent home.

[Rhea]

Right. Exactly. Like. Like, if someone randomly is like, let's do a conga line. I'm like, well, they're trying to distract from something for sure. And then Rob grabbing Rinna to play chess. Genius. You're a. I mean, we have a living genius on our TV screen with Rob.

[Fran]

And by the way, Rob and Rinna really, like, I'm feeling a dynamic duo from these two.

[Rhea]

I'm feeling that those two are going to send Candace home and they're going to ride it to the end. Like that, I think, is what I'm leaning towards. Because I saw some social media activity where Rob and Rinna are still, like, commenting in close.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But I think Candace has maybe said some things. There's been some unfollowings. And it seems like maybe they went against, but maybe they were like, all right. Candace is making it quite obvious we're gonna have to go against her to keep a shot around.

[Fran]

I think that could have happened. I think, like, I think maybe she may just out herself. And I think she may get sent home in a roundtable. And I wouldn't be surprised. I said this to my friends. I wouldn't be surprised if they try and recruit, like, someone like Natalie, who I think is going so hardcore. I'm a faithful. And she is right now that it could be a good spin back to having her be a traitor. I think it's kind of crazy that the gamers are sort of out of the conversation right now because we're so used to them being so big. And I understand, like, why from past seasons, this cast went in and they were like, well, let's get rid of these people quick, because they are outnumbered. If so, you know, Ian gone fast. I felt like, what I. I don't really. Here's the thing. I don't watch Big Brother or Survivor, so I don't really know anything about these people besides the shows that they're on. And I'm just naturally like, well, they're gonna be good at this show because they're good at their respective shows. And that has come to be true in past seasons. So getting rid of Ian, I felt like, made a lot of. Made a lot of sense. And then the other Rob, it was like, well, he was sniffing them out quickly, too. He was like, I feel like the traitors are murdering people in plain sight. And you're like, shit, that's exactly what they're doing. The Secret Traitor. There's been a lot of rumors and. And tabloid stories of the Secret Trader being kind of a failure, or production thought it was gonna work and it didn't. And they thought it was gonna, like, they just maybe expected more from Donna giving her that role, which is fair, but at the same time, like, I don't know, is putting a lot of faith in Donna Kelsey. And while I did think it was a good twist, it was a good twist. And I don't know, maybe the tabloid fodder is all fucking bullshit and made up. Who knows?

[Noah]

I saw a lot of people saying that they thought that was just a way to get Donna out early. Like, that was planned because she couldn't, like, do a lot of the physical activities. I don't know if that's.

[Fran]

I saw that too, but I also saw people be like, well, they really thought that she was gonna, you know, be a little sneakier.

[Rhea]

I don't like any of the talk about, like, it was planned for Donna to only be on three episodes.

[Fran]

No, I actually wanna. I wanna. This is a show where I don't wanna talk about production being involved.

[Rhea]

I don't.

[Fran]

I know that that's, like, stupid, because I'm sure production is very much involved. It's involved in any reality TV show. But I'm like, no, they're doing this on their own.

[Rhea]

And by the way, because they were like, oh, well, they had a roundtable before they did the challenge. They never do that. That they didn't know that they were going to vote out Donna Kelce. Like you, they had a roundtable discussion. It. Could the round tables go south? It wasn't a definite. That Donna would be.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You never know.

[Rhea]

Michael.

[Fran]

Michael Rappaport could have gotten himself.

[Rhea]

Michael Rappaport. If he keeps piping up, which he will.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

He's going to be sent home. But I didn't love the play on Donna being the Secret Trader.

[Fran]

I really thought it was going to be one of the gamers. I thought it was Natalie.

[Rhea]

Yeah. And I will say, though, apparently same thing happened in uk, that the Secret Trader was found out pretty quickly. So I think it kind of happened for both, both US and uk. But I, I don't know. I, I something about it. And I, like you said, where you want to act like production's not a thing. I want to turn, turn my eye to this one. I'm gonna turn a blur.

[Fran]

Not production involvement to production.

[Rhea]

Being involved producing a show because. Yeah. Making Donna Kelce the Secret Trader was a very much play into getting, you know, the people to watch and roping the swifties in and all that. And I, and I get it. They're trying to produce a show once again. Right. And get people to watch.

[Fran]

That's why you cast her in the first place.

[Rhea]

But the Traitors is so good already. You don't need to, you don't need that.

[Fran]

Right.

[Rhea]

You could have made it. Mark Ballas.

[Fran]

Right.

[Rhea]

You could have made it. Stephen Coletti.

[Fran]

Right.

[Rhea]

Donna is such a lone wolf that you made somebody a traitor that was already alone.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

So that is such a hard thing to navigate when you, you know, I actually thought it was so funny. Boston Rob was saying, like, she was, she was sitting there being like, I'm just fan girling over all of you. It's like Donna Kelsey fan girling who.

[Noah]

Is around celebrity story about talking to Paul McCartney.

[Rhea]

Boston Rob Guy goes. She's in a, she's in a box with a different celebrity every game. She's like, I don't believe that she was, you know, it was. And, But I get it, you know, what's Donna to do in that moment? She's got to drum up. Yeah.

[Fran]

She had to try and drum up some sort of Persona.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And this is, it's hard when you don't really know any other people, too.

[Rhea]

Yeah. And it's not on Donna, but she was a lone Wolf. And you're making a secret trader a lone wolf. They're already pointing her fingers at her. I would have done the same thing. I would have been like, Donna is. And, and we were right. We talked about. We were like, donna Kelsey's definitely gonna be a traitor. And that's what they did.

[Fran]

They kind of did the, they did.

[Rhea]

What we thought the obvious. Yeah.

[Fran]

Which, exactly. Which was like, she's so not a trader. That she'd be a good trader.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Which is what I think everybody else.

[Noah]

I feel like they did that with Rob too, kind of. Didn't we? We were saying this last week of like, Rob would be a bad trader. We definitely said that last week.

[Rhea]

I don't remember. Did we?

[Noah]

I, I, I, I'm pretty confident we did.

[Fran]

I, we probably did, honestly.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And, and I take that back.

[Rhea]

Right. Well, you're proven wrong.

[Fran]

Yeah. I get it in the sense that like, they kind of cast that guy and he's been a faithful, you know, pilot P. Dylan Efron. Like, it's like, so I get it. But he's surprising all of us.

[Noah]

Do you think he was like that, that Dylan Efron pilot Pete? I thought, I feel like that's more Colton in this season.

[Rhea]

Get Colton off the shop.

[Noah]

I don't like Colton, but I feel like Colton is supposed to be that.

[Fran]

I meant for cat like, casting purposes. I felt like they probably like, that's what I'm saying.

[Noah]

I feel like they were like, who's our deal?

[Fran]

The hot guy.

[Noah]

That, that's Colton.

[Fran]

Why? I went more like hot guy that, that the girls.

[Rhea]

Hot straight guy.

[Fran]

Hot straight guy casting. Hot straight guy. Which has been pilot Pete. Dylan Efron, Rob.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Rob was right though when he mentioned.

[Fran]

That he's single straight guy.

[Rhea]

Yes. When people.

[Fran]

Oh, well, Dylan Eron's on.

[Rhea]

But people didn't know that if he had a girlfriend.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

But Rob saying that he's bad, he's hard to read. Which then when he said that I was like, wow, so true.

[Fran]

Right. If we really, like took five minutes to think about it, it does make sense. And even how he was on Love island is like, you couldn't get a fucking read on this guy. So it does make sense also.

[Rhea]

I'm sorry. All of a sudden Colton's the gayest person alive.

[Fran]

You know, Cole Colton's certainly gone through a rebrand. He in many senses. And I. But like the tick tocks, I only feel okay, so funny where I sent.

[Rhea]

You guys a tick tock where the guy's like, And. And Colton's like, move, right.

[Fran]

Move out of the way.

[Rhea]

I'm gay. Gay guy coming through. Could I get a croissant, by the way? I'm gay.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Like, it was like.

[Fran]

Or he's.

[Rhea]

I'm.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You know, it's a complicated relationship with Colton because we cannot forget that he literally.

[Fran]

People fucking hate Colton.

[Rhea]

Stalked Cassie's life.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And you know, people. And then he's on the. He's on our TV screens and he stalked a woman's life. Put a tracker on her car. And on the other side of that, you want to be happy for him, for him being who he is.

[Fran]

Yeah. I don't know if he's just like, trying to really take this opportunity, like being back on tv. And he has. He's hosted other shows before, but obviously that's not really about him. It's like, as a host, you're not really making about more yourself now you're a contestant. This is. This is about you as a person on Traitors that he's really trying to.

[Rhea]

Maybe he's just like, this is my time for everyone to see me for.

[Fran]

Who I am, who I am, and try and be my real authentic self on tv. Right. Which he hasn't done in the past.

[Rhea]

Exactly. And you. And you want to be happy for somebody doing that. Of course. But it's hard when you have the other side of Colton doing those bad things.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah. You know, and let me tell you, if. If it would have been disaster for him if he went so hard against Donna. And then Donna was a faithful like that really what it comes out because Colton had her peg from the beat. Colton was like, it's Donna.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Colton had Donna pegged in the beginning, but then all of a sudden he thinks he's Ms. Mr. You know, traitor Hunter.

[Fran]

Well, you know that he thinks he's.

[Rhea]

Still in a car.

[Fran]

It's the cocky. Like, the cocky guy who comes in. They're like, they get one person or they're right one time. And they're like, well, now I wrote won this game.

[Noah]

But Dylan Efron kind of thought he was probably Pete in a way. He's with Rob.

[Fran]

It started with. It all started with Pilot Pete.

[Rhea]

Pilot Pete walked so Dylan Efron could run.

[Fran]

He did. He did.

[Noah]

Dylan Efron was with Rob. Like.

[Rhea]

But yeah, Efron won.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

So he kind of gets a leg up on Pilot.

[Noah]

Pilot P was the one who was like, actually like, wow, this guy's a fucking genius.

[Fran]

It's true.

[Rhea]

Pilot. He wowed Us all this season.

[Fran]

He did. Did.

[Rhea]

Colton just thinks everybody, you know, he's like, I. He's. I'm Mr. Traitor Hunter or whatever he said, you know, And I, you know, I'm being kind of sour about it just because of the pat.

[Fran]

Because.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Which I think a lot of us are. Michael Rappaport won't shut the up, which is not shocking. No. At all. He's just a loudmouth. That's when we get to a certain.

[Fran]

Point where either the traitors just kill him or they have a round table where they're like, look, we don't even think you're a traitor. We just want you off. We just want you to go. We just find you to be.

[Noah]

So that's already kind of what they're saying.

[Fran]

Yeah. It's like we. We kind of don't think you're a traitor, but we just need your energy out of here.

[Rhea]

Yeah. You need someone to hate on a show, though.

[Fran]

So.

[Rhea]

Although I really don't like Michael Rapaport.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I do enjoy having somebody on a show that I can hate up to a certain point. Point for sure. So, like Tom Sandoval, right?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Good to hate on the show. Good to make fun of on the show. And then it's like, all right, now your time has come.

[Noah]

I feel like it's more like Danielle was like this. Like, everyone kind of hated.

[Rhea]

Well, Danielle was so frustrating.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And like.

[Fran]

But it's.

[Rhea]

It's. I find it to be good when I am frustrated on a show like this because I want to be engaged. And whether you are happy or frustrated or angry, those are all engaging emotions which I want to have while watching.

[Noah]

I haven't seen people say, like, it's actually impressive that because usually, like, someone like Tom Sandoval, they'll come on here and like, people actually kind of like him in a way when they went in hating. But it's like Rapaport is just like, he's the worst. Like, there's no redeeming.

[Rhea]

He's just so loud and obnoxious and just says shit.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is true. I think it.

[Rhea]

He once upon a time tweeted, Rhea got this pipe. Yeah, yeah. Yes, he did. Because of when he was fighting when. When he. Remember when Michael Rabart worked at bar and he, like, called the stoolies.

[Fran]

I'm sure a lot of people listening don't remember that.

[Rhea]

They don't remember. So a little background is Michael Rapaport worked at Barstool and then he, like, exploded one day randomly and Was calling the stoolies losers and the whole thing, which is. It doesn't fly well. You know, you're gonna make fun of the fans that support you. Not cool. And so everyone at the company was, like, fighting with him, and I kind of forget the exact exchange of, like, what happened or whatever.

[Noah]

The clown. The clown shirts was a big.

[Rhea]

Yeah. It was a whole thing. And at one point, he tweeted, you know, like, I, you know, sued multiple people here. Yeah. Yes. And then he was like, ria got this pipe or whatever it was. I don't remember exactly. And I was like, yeah. What? No, that obviously didn't.

[Fran]

Obviously did not happen. And you're disgusting.

[Rhea]

And you're disgusting. And I was like, how old at the time? Whatever.

[Fran]

Yeah, no, you were probably.

[Rhea]

I was like, 20 years old. So. Yeah. So I just am not a Michael Rappaport fan.

[Fran]

No. And good example of why not to be. You know, you got Loudmouth to back it up.

[Rhea]

And.

[Fran]

Yeah, I think with. I think with the Housewives, it's going to be interesting to see who kind of turns on each other. The show's just also just fantastic tv. Like, Dorinda crying at breakfast the first morning after. Not, like, not being killed night one. Like, just so happy she wasn't killed night one.

[Noah]

I saw Robin, Boston Rob talking about that, too. Being like, what the fuck was that? Like, what are we doing?

[Rhea]

Yeah, boss. Rob's like, why are we giving her.

[Fran]

A standing ovation from standing. Like, it's just. It was just. It was just incredible. It's just like, she made it. She made it. She didn't get murdered night one. Portia. It's. It's tough to come on a show like this where people don't know your background. Us as viewers who, like, have seen or watch these shows and, like, know more about these people. It's like, I could have told you that Portia was misspeaking. You know, it. That that's. But these people, they don't know her, so, like, they don't know that that's what's going on. And I don't blame them, because if you. Multiple instances, I would have been like, she's a fucking traitor.

[Rhea]

Just an awful slip of the tongue.

[Fran]

Yeah. Multiple times.

[Rhea]

You don't want to have multiple times. You're like, why did I do that?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You know?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Because anybody would be like, well, she's obviously the traitor, for sure.

[Fran]

But for sure. I'm excited to see the other players get more involved, because the first three episodes, you know, there's Always a focus on, like, who those first traitors are. And the. The Secret Trader was obviously a twist. Like, I'm ready to see. I want to see Stephen Coletti in the mix more. I want to see Mark Ballast in the mix more.

[Rhea]

I thought Stephen Cloudy might be the Secret Trader because they just weren't showing him.

[Fran]

Right. Yeah.

[Rhea]

But I think I'm hoping Mark and Steven make it pretty far because they're not showing a lot of them. And I feel right, right off the bat, they show more of the people who get voted off.

[Noah]

What do you think about yam? Yam?

[Rhea]

Jam. Jam.

[Fran]

Jam. Jam?

[Noah]

Is that how you say it? I'm looking at the thing and it's.

[Fran]

Yeah, it's spelled that way.

[Rhea]

I go back and forth.

[Fran]

Here's the. Here's. I don't know anything about him.

[Rhea]

I don't know anything about the show.

[Fran]

I don't never watch the show. But who is. I like that. He doesn't like mega rap. Yeah. So much so.

[Rhea]

That back and forth is making me laugh. Yeah. But I'll give Traders an A. Yeah.

[Noah]

I'm.

[Rhea]

I am rooting for the Traders, though.

[Fran]

Yeah. I. I don't blame you. I think a lot of people are. I think this has also been fantastic for Lisa Rinna.

[Rhea]

A perfect.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

A perfect resurgence for Lisa Rinna.

[Fran]

Absolutely.

[Rhea]

Who did not have a good ending to Beverly Hills.

[Fran]

Nope.

[Rhea]

Nope. I completely forgot what she's done.

[Fran]

Yeah. So this was really best. I mean, this was. This. So far, so good for Lisa Rinna, I think.

[Rhea]

So far, so good.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And the way that she's acting.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

On Social. I'm really happy at the premiere and everything. I'm like.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I think. I think she goes far. Right.

[Fran]

I think that's just like. This was a good show for her.

[Rhea]

Hopefully.

[Fran]

Because so far. So far, so good. And if they have to recruit a.

[Rhea]

Trader, I hope it's Nora.

[Fran]

I wonder if Lisa will introduce her daughters to Rob.

[Rhea]

You never know if they make. If they make that kind of a relationship. Yeah. That cuts in A. And then football for the rest of the. For the rest of the weekend.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And we'll give the Eagles game an F minus.

[Fran]

The whole team gets graded F minus.

[Rhea]

Yeah. That's it.

[Fran]

Okay. I will also grade Traders. It's an A for sure. And People We Meet on Vacation was a B for me. I really did enjoy it. I think I tried to separate the movie as it, you know, as its own thing. And I thought the movie was really cute and I liked it.

[Rhea]

The Drop by Gnc it's where you'll find all the newest creatine innovations. And the latest breakthrough is new GNC Amp Creobolic. It's a first of its kind. Three in one formula designed for complete muscle optimization. The experts at GNC upped the game by combining creatine monohydrate with BioActive peptides and HMB to help athletes not just build muscle, but also repair and protect it in ways creatine alone can't. It's next gen creatine for next level athletic performance. Get it now at gnc.com/the drop I finished Stranger Things.

[Fran]

I didn't. I really didn't hate it as much as everybody hated it. I feel like. I don't know if it's because I saw so many people hated that, it made me want to hate it less. Certainly some moments that were absurd. But I'm not, like, crying about it being like, it was awful. I don't know, it just, like, didn't bother me that much.

[Noah]

How many episodes did you watch?

[Fran]

I finished the whole thing.

[Noah]

No, I know, but, like, was it. Are you talking about just the finale.

[Fran]

Really, or like, five, six, seven? In the finale we watched, what did.

[Noah]

You think about that scene? Everyone's talking about? The him coming out scene.

[Fran]

Well, no, here's my thing. It was. I think it was poorly. What's the right word I'm looking for? It's like, integrated, poorly laid out. Like the. The. Yes. Like, I did. I like, really, I like that scene, but it was poorly placed in the progress of the show. Like, I think that that scene could have been placed somewhere else because it was like going from that immediately into, like, battle mode was. Was.

[Rhea]

Is weird.

[Fran]

Like that. Like, that was a big jump, which felt like kind of nuts. Like, it was like, oh, that happened. Okay. And here's the plan on how we're. That scene, how we're taking down the.

[Noah]

Upset and then the finale where, like, we have multiple scenes where one by one, everyone is, like, sitting the same. It's like, I believe. I believe.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And then it's like the same thing there. Like, it's corny, but, like, it's not.

[Fran]

The same, but I get it. And I feel like they gave it a good ending. Like.

[Rhea]

I.

[Noah]

Are you happy with that ending with 11?

[Fran]

Yeah, I guess. Spoiler alert if you haven't finished it. Yeah. I mean, from the beginning of the season, I said, like, from the beginning of the season, I was like, somebody's gonna have to die.

[Noah]

But then she didn't die.

[Rhea]

No, but she did die, but, like, we don't.

[Fran]

But then, no, she died.

[Noah]

Do you think so?

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah. I feel like everyone else is kind of convinced she didn't die.

[Fran]

I think Mike just made up a nice story for all of them to think that she's. That she didn't die.

[Noah]

Really?

[Fran]

Yes.

[Noah]

I took it as, like, yeah, no, she's.

[Fran]

You didn't see Sadie Sink's interview. She was like, she's dead?

[Noah]

No, I didn't see that.

[Fran]

Well, Sadie was like, I think she's dead.

[Noah]

I guess. Yeah. It's open to.

[Fran]

I mean, it's open to interpretation. That's why they did it that way. It's like, if you want to believe that story, you can absolutely do that. And of course, they show it, so, like, it makes it more believable, but at the same time, Mike's just, like, making that up.

[Noah]

So I just feel like it's classic Stranger Things to be like, we're not gonna kill off. Like, that would just. They never killed anyone off, so it's just like, we'll finish that way, too.

[Fran]

Yeah, definitely. But at the same time, I do think that that was like, her. Her sister. What was her name? Kali.

[Noah]

Who sister?

[Fran]

Millie. The other girl with the powers.

[Noah]

Oh, eleven. Remember her name.

[Fran]

Like, in my Mike's imaginary situation, she's very much not, like, dead immediately. And in what we first watched, she seemed pretty dead.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So I felt like they would have had to. I don't know. I just think that they. That was a beautiful story for them to craft up, to hold that in their hearts of, like, well, maybe this is the ending we would have written for her.

[Noah]

Her. Yeah.

[Fran]

But she saved all of them, so that's where they're at. I. I did have the same thought as you did when you said, like, oh, the. The episode feels over. And then, like, I press pause. There was 40 minutes left. That was like, how is there 40 minutes left?

[Noah]

That's crazy.

[Fran]

It went on for a little bit, but I. You know, whatever. I'm a cheeseball at heart. So, like, trying to wrap it all up so nicely. Like, all of them on the roof. Like, the older kids talking about their jobs and that they'll take a trip together.

[Noah]

I saw so many tweets about being like, this wasn't even a friend. Like, this is all, like, they're not like, a friend group like this.

[Fran]

Yeah, I know. So I don't know. I really. It just didn't bother me as much. Yes. There was definitely some pacing things and placement things that I was like, ah. And unfortunately, you know, I just saw an article. I was just saying like, no, Schnapper, like not fantastic.

[Noah]

You see like immediately after he's, he's starting a rewatch podcast about Stranger Things.

[Fran]

Smart, smart. That's where he's going to make his money.

[Noah]

I just saw an article that said the Duffer brothers said they started filming season five without the finale even written.

[Fran]

Yeah, I mean it certainly seems from the interviews and the things that they have said that they've been flying by to see their pants a little bit and now they're doing like there's going to be spin offs and prequel. Like there's a whole world that they're, that they're building. But like, like every. The Internet with went wild with all their theories and thinking that there was a secret extra episode and all these things. And I've seen so many of their clips from their interviews of them, like trying to address some of the questions that fans have had and they're like.

[Noah]

Oh, like idk, yeah, they, they have not been helping.

[Fran]

I, I feel like they've kind of made it worse. It was like, hey, like, can you kind of explain your thought process on this? Or if there's like a plot hole with this? And they're like, like, yeah, I don't know.

[Noah]

They, they have had some crazy quotes. I saw a quote that was like, cuz they're supposed to be this is it. But they're like, you know, Stranger Things is kind of like if we ever need to make money again, we'll bring it back. Like they literally said that. They're like, you know, I saw people.

[Fran]

Ask them like, you know, in that last battle with the Mind Flayer that it's like, well, where were all the demigorgons? It's like, wouldn't they have been a part of that battle?

[Noah]

And that was another question.

[Fran]

Yeah, and no, that's what I'm saying. And the Dever brothers were like, like, like things are moving too fast. You know, they're the Demagorians. Like, who knows where they are. Like they, they probably wouldn't have been able to get there fast enough. They're like, they're in a vast other world. Like, you know, I don't know if they would have been able to make it that far. So I don't know. I certainly enjoyed watching it, but it had its moments. It has its plot holes, it has its issues for sure.

[Noah]

Definitely not. Like, what would you rank season five out of all the seasons? Like, it's for me, it's like, long.

[Fran]

It didn't need to be that long.

[Noah]

No. But like, it's bottom two for me for sure.

[Fran]

Oh, yeah.

[Noah]

Like, yeah. Out of the seasons, like, I think people say season three is the worst one. Or a lot of people say five now. But definitely I would say this is probably.

[Fran]

I would give it like a C minus this season. Yes. No. Five, six. Because I've been grading the rest.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Five, six, seven. In the finale, I, like, I said I am a cheeseball, so not too much.

[Noah]

I gave it a D plus. That's not really that, like, far off.

[Fran]

You gave it a D plus. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

I thought you were gonna give it a higher grade the way that you were. Like, I enjoyed.

[Fran]

No, because, I mean, it's like, I don't know. I. I would. I'm not gonna go back and like, I have no desire to go back and watch it. It was just like. But did the finale end and I was like, was I a little teary eyed?

[Rhea]

Yeah, I was.

[Noah]

See.

[Fran]

Yeah, I was.

[Noah]

I was more like relieved. Like, this is out of my life.

[Fran]

No, I thought, you know, whatever they. They tried, it was better. It was terrible. Like in some parts for sure.

[Noah]

But I think, yeah, I'm curious to.

[Fran]

See, like, my mind gives it a C mine.

[Noah]

What the careers of these kids end up, where they end up going. Like, obviously Sadie Sink. I feel like Joe Keery, like, I.

[Rhea]

Feel like they're right.

[Noah]

Kind of, but.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Noah]

A lot of the other ones who, like, clearly, like, maybe don't have acting chops.

[Fran]

Like, well, half of them are musicians.

[Noah]

That's another thing. Which is kind of crazy.

[Fran]

Yeah. So there, there's that too. I don't know why, but it's kind of like the funniest thing about watching the show. Joe and I watched the show together and he just like, hated Mike. He just, like always, like, Mike's the worst and just kept it going like the whole time, which kind of cracked me up. It's like, oh, here's Mike doing pointless Mike.

[Rhea]

And.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Or no, no, not after. Not after.

[Fran]

I mean, I don't think why.

[Rhea]

The way that people talked about the ending. Why am I gonna put myself through it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

I mean, there are some great seasons, but there are.

[Fran]

There are.

[Rhea]

Right?

[Fran]

I was like, I didn't hate it like I did, you know, but it's, it's behind.

[Rhea]

So why now when everyone hates the ending?

[Noah]

It would be like Game of Thrones runs. It's like, would you not watch that whole show because of the last Season.

[Rhea]

Stand by the last season. I am not a last season hater. I actually think the last season made a lot of sense if you paid attention to the show from the beginning. And people want to act like it wasn't written in the stars. It was. That's my take on the ending of Game of Thrones.

[Noah]

I haven't rewatched that since.

[Rhea]

But, yeah, I just think.

[Noah]

I don't think I hated it as much as everyone else, but I was. I definitely thought it was.

[Fran]

The three of us. Definitely didn't hate it as much as everybody else.

[Rhea]

I just thought if you w. Maybe rewatch from the beginning, you pick up on all the clues and it was just like, right there. Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I don't know.

[Fran]

I'm caught up on Salt Lake City, the finale before the reunion. This week finale was great. I mean, these women, whatever. I don't know who they found to do this, like, Greek play. Dramatic reading of their friendships and how they describe each other. It was pure cinema. Like, I'm like, where they find this, these people to be like, oh, Andrew's like, we're gonna do like a Greek tragedy about our friend group. And they did it so well. Then they. And it was like a way for the. For a stranger to just, like, read them all the filth of, like, what they all don't like about each other. Kind of wild. Very excited for the reunion. I'll give that final episode a B plus. I love Salt Lake City. I'm behind on Beverly Hills and I'm behind on Southern Charm, which I have to catch up on this week. And Stranger Things we watched. I don't really think I watched people meet on vacation and traders. Yeah, Coco. So I put Coco on Saturday night after the football and I. I was bracing myself. Like, I knew was. I knew it was coming. Cried like a baby. Cried like a baby. Even I might cry right now just thinking about it.

[Rhea]

I.

[Fran]

It's going to bring. It quite possibly could bring tears tear to my eyes right now. You let me tell you something. This, like, mean grandma thing and happened in Encanto too.

[Rhea]

Yep.

[Fran]

With the mean grandma. And I understand why. It was obviously crucial to the story, which it always is. But her smashing his poor little guitar. I mean, like, let the boy sing. I will say, like, was I. Was I suspicious of the twist? A little bit. And then when it got to it, I was like, ugh, thank God. Thank God I'm not dealing with egotistical maniac Ernesto de la Cruz, who was a terrible guy. Terrible guy. Another great animal Character. Love that dog Dante. Adorable. The music, beautiful. I mean, I'm telling you, like I started ugly crying when, when he, when Hector says he wrote the song and it goes to the flashback of him singing to little Coco. Oh, that's when the waterwork started. And then it didn't end. It didn't stop. The whole rest of time I was watching with Joe and I, I was conscious of that because sometimes I, when I'm watching a movie by myself, I'll full like sob. But I. Joe like gets like. Joe's like, oh my God. Like, are you okay? And I'm like, I'm fine. It's just like it's get. It's, you know, it's getting to me and I'm just like. He's like, are you crying?

[Rhea]

You almost have to like look away or that's the worst.

[Fran]

Because then you're getting caught crying and then you're like, yeah.

[Rhea]

You're like, I don't want to talk about it.

[Fran]

Like, I don't want to talk about it. It's gonna make it worse. But just beautiful. It's the only word. It's the word I keep coming back to to describe the film.

[Rhea]

Beautiful.

[Fran]

The color, colors, the love, the family, just the whole idea, like just the. Then I was just thinking about like the idea of your loved ones that have passed being able to come back and visit you. And it's just like what a beautiful, beautiful thought behind that. And that's just like just a, a beautiful cultural thing that they, that they have a Dia de los Muertos. And having the, and having this story be like a very loving, beautiful way to show that in a user friendly way that like adults, children of all ages can watch and love. And it was, was. It was so sweet.

[Rhea]

It was so. I'm so glad you loved it. Cuz it really is.

[Fran]

I knew I would love it. I knew I would love it. So sweet. I mean they come back and it. They're celebrating all their family members and they're the spirits and they're there with all of them. Mama Coco. Oh my God. I was dry heaving when he started singing Remember me to her. And she gets her moment back.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And then I started doing Movie Ends and I'm like, it's just one of those movies that stays with you. So the movie ends, I'm going downstairs. I'm like, granted, now it's like also 1:30 in the morning because I put it on late. But I knew I wanted to watch it because I was like, I know. I Don't have other time to watch. I'm gonna watch it now. And so it's late. I'm in my feels, and I'm, like, brushing my teeth, and I just start crying again because now I'm thinking about my grandma, and I just. You know, you're. You're thinking about your family members and people you've. You've lost and the importance of family. And I start crying again, and I'm like, oh, tears are streaming down my face. I literally, I. I sent you one, but this was the one. This was me, actually, when. When he was crying, I couldn't even send it. It's the scariest thing I've ever taken in my life. But I was. I was sobbing. Oh, that's not scary. No, I was absolutely sobbing. I was like, oh, my God.

[Rhea]

But I.

[Fran]

Well, but I had to send the one of me smiling and crying because then you're like. You're crying through the smile.

[Rhea]

You understand now why I was. I was talking you through the fact that it is not a Marley and Me. It's not a horror film.

[Fran]

No, no, no, I know. And. And I knew this. I knew what it was. I knew it was a beautiful cry, but a cry nonetheless. And sometimes those types of cries make me cry the most. Like that type of family love and loss and connection. That's gonna make me cry even more.

[Rhea]

And it really sticks with you.

[Fran]

Yeah. And here I was crying again as I brushed my teeth.

[Noah]

Aw.

[Fran]

See?

[Rhea]

But it leaves an everlasting mark. No, it does. It's such a beautiful movie.

[Fran]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. And, you know, I loved that they got to be reunited, Hector. And, you know, I was like, he needed that redemption. And the thought of, like, being forgotten, not being remembered.

[Rhea]

Ugh. Yeah.

[Fran]

Just gets to you.

[Rhea]

It really does.

[Fran]

And truly, like you said, colors, stunning, really.

[Rhea]

It's a visually stunning film.

[Fran]

It is. It is one of Pixar's finest, I will say, as far as, like, animation and. And, you know, Dante becoming his little spirit creature. It's just beautiful, beautiful film. Saying it a million times, but it really was.

[Rhea]

It's just making me happy.

[Fran]

It really was.

[Rhea]

It's making me really happy that you loved it. Yeah.

[Fran]

What's not to love? You know, what's not to love? It's a gorgeous film. I know, but that. But you understand.

[Rhea]

I understand.

[Fran]

You understand why it's one that I have put off because I'm like, I know I will sob, and in a good way, because it just makes sense.

[Rhea]

It feels good to get that sob about Feelings, you know, feel all the things I know.

[Fran]

But, you know, unfortunately, I'm a crier that, like, I. When I cry, like, I can really cry, and then it gives me a headache.

[Rhea]

I.

[Fran]

Every time. Like, if I. When I sob like that 30 minutes later, that migraine's coming on strong.

[Rhea]

Right, Right.

[Fran]

It's just one of those things. It's a. I forget what the science is behind it, but. But it's there, and I'm like, oh, God. I just have to mentally prepare for that, which is why I was like, I'm gonna cry, and I'm just gonna get into bed and try and go to sleep and just. Just beautiful. Loved all the characters. Loved all the side characters. Was a big fan of the. Was a big fan of just kind of like, you know, the whole premise, swiping people in and out the flat, and it just is beautiful. So, yeah, loved it.

[Rhea]

Loved it.

[Fran]

It's an a. It's an A. What's not to love? What's not to love? Like I said, it really is fantastic movie. Have you seen it now?

[Noah]

I haven't seen either of those movies now.

[Rhea]

Oh, my goodness gracious.

[Noah]

I do want to see.

[Fran]

Boy, do I have a double feature.

[Noah]

Tangled. I don't know if I'm like that. Like, I don't know if that's like, my cup of tea. Maybe like, more like princessy type thing, but Coco. I do want to see Coco.

[Fran]

Coco. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.

[Rhea]

Yeah, that's fair. I feel like you would really.

[Fran]

How did Matt feel about Tangled?

[Rhea]

Loved it.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

You ever watched Soul?

[Fran]

Soul's fantastic.

[Noah]

He.

[Rhea]

He looked at me and said, you know, she really looks like Mandy Moore in Entourage with her haircut. And I said, honey, whoa, wait.

[Fran]

Not knowing, not knowing, not not realizing anymore.

[Rhea]

Well, honey. Because I never said out loud anymore. I got news for you. It is Mandy Moore.

[Fran]

No way.

[Rhea]

I'm like, it does. But if you look up Mandy Moore in Entourage, it really does look like her when. Because her hair is shorter in Entourage, but I think more so, like, yeah, he loved Tangled, but I think he loved more me loving. You know what I mean? For sure.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Because afterwards I'm like, ah, you make me feel like a princess, you know? So I think it's more of that rather. Rather than like, you're my fun rider, and I'm, like, squeezing him. Like, I love, love. I think it's like, more of that rather than, like, yeah, right.

[Fran]

Just put you in a great mood.

[Rhea]

I love this movie, but it is.

[Fran]

A solid Film Coco should certainly be on your list.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I think if you watch Tangle, you'd be like, yeah, good movie. I think if you watched Coco, you'd be like, oh, that made me feel. Feel some things.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You know?

[Fran]

Yeah, I agree.

[Rhea]

Solid animated films all around.

[Fran]

Yes. And that's everything I watched. Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boar's Head is my go to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time. They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few diploma dips. My personal favorite, the blazing buffalo chicken hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game changing flavor. Boar's Head helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration. To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boar's Head deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boar's Head, committed to craft since 1905.

[Noah]

Why, neither? You guys watch a pit, huh?

[Fran]

No, I not have it.

[Rhea]

Oh. But I wanna. I'm excited to start again, you know the worst thing. Congrats to Noah Wilde, by the way.

[Fran]

Yes, Noah Wylie won.

[Noah]

So Wyll or Wiley?

[Fran]

Wiley.

[Rhea]

Sorry, Wily Wiley.

[Noah]

I've never known. Honestly.

[Fran]

What was I gonna say? Oh, I. Sorry to know, Noah, you'll get into it, but speaking on the pit, I haven't watched episode. Is it just one episode?

[Noah]

Just one, Yeah.

[Fran]

I haven't watched it. I haven't watched it yet. And I did the. Maybe one of the worst things you can do to your significant other when you're watching TV or not watching TV with somebody. I said to Joe, oh, my God, season two of the pits here. Like, we should watch. He goes, you watched that one without me?

[Rhea]

I was.

[Fran]

I was like, what? I was like, we watched the Pit together.

[Rhea]

I did that.

[Noah]

He was like, he never watched it.

[Fran]

He never watched it. He was like. He was like, no, you watched it without me.

[Noah]

He could have caught up. You guys could have done it.

[Fran]

But in my mind, I don't know why. I thought we watched it together and we didn't. And he was like, no, I didn't watch that one with you. You watched that one alone.

[Rhea]

Damn. You're like, oh, you weren't there.

[Fran]

I was like, oh, oh, shit.

[Rhea]

I could have swore.

[Fran]

I was like, oh, oh, sorry.

[Noah]

I don't get why they put that one out on Thursdays. It feels odd. I feel like that's like a, like HBO Sunday type thing. But like, I. Yeah, I don't know.

[Rhea]

I don't know. It doesn't feel like a Sunday show to me.

[Noah]

But like, I just feel like HBO's show, like, that's their number one.

[Rhea]

Yeah. But Heat Arrival was coming out on Friday is.

[Noah]

But yeah. I don't. Heated rivalry.

[Rhea]

Doesn't he.

[Fran]

Rivalry also, like, snuck up on everybody, you know, like, they didn't know it was going to be what it was.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

When they set the day, it also wasn't like he arrival was Canadian made. And then it was like license, I think. I don't know if this. I'm using the right terminology.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

I think just like, licensed through HBO Max to show here.

[Noah]

I saw some crazy thing about, like, how much money HBO was spending per episode for heated rivalry because they, like, like, paid for it.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And it was an insane amount.

[Rhea]

High.

[Noah]

Really high.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Like. But. Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

I mean, they're getting it back in spades, so.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So episode one of the Pit.

[Noah]

Good. Yeah. Episode one of the pit was. Was very good. It's taking place July 4th now that weekend.

[Rhea]

Oh, firework.

[Noah]

Well, we haven't gotten to that point maybe.

[Rhea]

Right, right. It's.

[Fran]

It's a morning.

[Rhea]

Right, Right. Don't forget.

[Noah]

It's.

[Fran]

It's.

[Noah]

This is his.

[Rhea]

He's.

[Noah]

This is his last shift before he's taking a big sabbatical. He's leaving.

[Rhea]

Oh.

[Noah]

So this is his last day. And then it's also the same day as the guy who's stealing pills. I forget his name.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

It's his first day back after being, like, in rehab. So it's all. Everything's colliding.

[Fran]

Yeah. My problem with the pit is I really love the show, but I couldn't tell you any of their names.

[Rhea]

Moves so fast.

[Noah]

Yeah, it does. I don't even know if I don't.

[Fran]

Know what Any of the doctors or any. Or the nurses. I don't know what any of.

[Noah]

What's his name?

[Fran]

Ross.

[Noah]

Robbie.

[Fran]

Robbie.

[Noah]

Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't really matter.

[Fran]

I don't know any of their characters.

[Rhea]

No, same, same.

[Noah]

So good. So far. It's interesting to see, like, each character has clearly changed. Like, some of the newer characters who were like, I don't know if they were interns or what in the first season were very nervous now, like, fast forward and they're, like, leading the charge.

[Fran]

What's the jump?

[Noah]

Very confident. Well, I Guess it would be six months, like, around. I think that's the time.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

I'm trying to remember what season. What, like, when was season one? Because was it winter?

[Noah]

I think I saw somewhere that it was like, supposed to be six months. So I guess if it's still alive and.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that would make sense.

[Noah]

But yeah, it's just like first episode, but it's like, yeah, it's one of those shows that I'm like, never checking my phone, you know, like, you're just constantly locked in.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

So I'll get that in A, minus the traitors. I'll give it B, to give, like, room to grow. Room to grow.

[Rhea]

Fair.

[Noah]

Every season of like every reality show, I feel like it's hard to not be like, oh, I missed the cast from last season. There's no one that I'm like, something about Rob like this. You're gonna just say, oh, you're not like a girl. And what? Like, something about him just annoys me.

[Rhea]

You.

[Fran]

He's a hot guy.

[Rhea]

You should talk to my dad.

[Noah]

My dad was like, this guy just.

[Rhea]

Thinks he's so good looking. And I was like, well, because he skates.

[Noah]

The thing is though, like, let's say that like I or any like, normal looking guy did like, what acts, how he acts. It's like weird. Like he just walks into a room, says nothing, kind of just stares at everyone. And people are like, ah, we love Rob. But it's like, I don't know, he's kind of a weirdo who doesn't like, talk.

[Fran]

I think he's kind of awkward.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I think he's awkward.

[Noah]

I think he's playing into it. I think he's like, I'm just gonna say nothing. And like, that's my thing.

[Rhea]

I loved when Monet was like, I want Rob R to throw me around everyone. I will say Rob.

[Noah]

Has someone called him out on it. I forget who.

[Rhea]

Rob. Rob R. Now I'm talking like, them. Rob has pretty privilege on this show.

[Noah]

In life in general.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Yes, but like, because there aren't many hot, not straight guys on this show. So you have Rob and you have Stephen Coletti. So.

[Noah]

But there's not any, like, really like, single girls who are like, fawning over him.

[Rhea]

It's just like, no, but the housewives.

[Fran]

Love a hot housewives. But.

[Rhea]

And, and all. And like, I say that he is pretty for. Because, like, all the women are beautiful in my mind. Yeah. But when it comes to all the men, I'm like, there are a couple standouts and it's Rob and Stevie Coletti.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

So when you're Rinna and Candace, I.

[Fran]

Also would be like.

[Rhea]

Like, it's just like, an older women. A woman. Like, yeah. Thing to be like, oh, my God. You know? So I think. I think he gets away with, like. Like what you are.

[Fran]

Just have a weird personality as well that I think just plays really well into a show that you're.

[Rhea]

You're, You're.

[Fran]

It'll benefit to you to not show all your cards.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Noah]

But, like, people.

[Rhea]

Even Matt was like, yeah, I wouldn't send him home, but it's like, I just. He's just got this, like, weird, like, awkward charm.

[Noah]

I feel like people at we're going kind of after Donna saying, like, you haven't really talked to anyone, blah, blah, blah. But it's like, neither is he. He's kind of like, sh. Like, if I saw him, I'd be like, maybe something's up with him. Like, we don't. Not everyone.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

In that house knows, like, that's his personality.

[Fran]

He's talking to a lot. I feel like he's been talking to people.

[Rhea]

He's talking to Rinna, doing chess. The only reason we know that they're traitors. But other people don't know that.

[Fran]

I actually was talking to more people, and I love him. Like. Like, loving Donna also really cracked me up. I know that that's silly, but him being like, is she married? Probably.

[Noah]

That is.

[Rhea]

Oh, he knew she was. She. He was saying.

[Noah]

Like, I, like, in the. And like, the way I was taking was like, he didn't really, like, know, like, the lore about Donna Kel. Like, he was like, oh, who's this cute older lady?

[Rhea]

No. He literally said, that's how you make two athletes.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Oh, and then when he was like, is she married? I feel like it's very fair to not know if you are not keeping. Keeping up to date with the Kelsey's in the space.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I think it's pretty fair to not know, right? I think when we first started talking about them, I didn't know if. If Donna, Kelsey and Ed.

[Noah]

I do think he, like, understands the game, especially when, like, so hardly defending, like, when Candace, like, said, by the.

[Fran]

Way, Candace, it's on. It's us. It's us. I'm.

[Rhea]

I'm back.

[Fran]

I am back in, like, he's broke me back. Club Roush. Yes.

[Noah]

Because when Candace is like, Which I think is crazy, that before she knew anything, she's, like, naming people that she thinks are traitors when, like, they end up being traitors. Which, like, even after the fact, like, being like, I think Donna is a traitor. Like, when she could easily be the secret trader, like, is so dumb. And when she said that, Rob's like, why would you say that to people? Like, so I think he definitely gets the game. But yeah, I'll give it a B plus. I'm excited to see where it goes. And then I watched this new limited series on Netflix. It's only six episodes. His and hers with John Birth Bernthal and Tessa Thompson. It was fine. I had higher expectations because they're both great actors, but I wasn't. Like, I didn't love it. I feel like the story was all over the place and the ending, like, I wasn't really that satisfied. I was just like, that seemed like really weirdly thrown together. So I'll give it a C plus. Like, they're great actors, but the story and the show, I didn't necessarily like, love. And then that's all I got. I didn't watch Industry is back too. But I need to watch the new episode of that. But yeah.

[Rhea]

Great night. Well, we are.

[Fran]

Geez. We talked for a long time.

[Rhea]

I just. I just.

[Noah]

I just. Over two and a half hours.

[Fran]

I just looked at the time and went, what the fuck?

[Rhea]

I know.

[Fran]

I. Holy shit.

[Rhea]

My eyes. My eyes started switching reaction.

[Fran]

My eyes started twitching.

[Rhea]

I will say it's gonna be a great couple of months for tv, though. Tell Me Lies is back this week.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Rhea]

And this is gonna be a fantastic season.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Rhea]

It really is. And we got traders, we got the pay. Woo.

[Noah]

It's almost too much to keep up with.

[Rhea]

And then it all goes away. Right. And then you're like, when it all ends at the same time.

[Noah]

Season is like, right after.

[Rhea]

Yeah, you're right. You're right. You know what? It's just the beginning. Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

All right, that wraps up the weekly Watch report. And that wraps up today's episode of Chicks in the Office. Thank you so much for watching and listening. This especially especially long edition of Chicks in the Office. We had a lot to say. We love you so very much. And we will talk to you on Wednesday. Big smooches.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Chicks in the Office.

[Noah]

Longtime listener, first time caller.

[Rhea]

Look at the charts.

[Noah]

Who does it.

[Rhea]

The best two chicks getting paid in reality checks. You can find them at the gym. It's not even a flex. Last minute red carpet flew them out on the jet. Yeah. They're who you want to be. They're always on your screen. Two queens and they might be spilling royalty A lot of topics that are popping here to get into.

[Noah]

I know a show that you probably.
