Turn the beat up Record the pod made a bag put their feet up the ones that leave no crumbs when they clean up who's the pod that they all want to meet up?

[Brianne]

What's up, everyone?

[Fran]

It's Chicks in the Office with Brianne Fran, giving you that Friday energy on a Monday. Happy Monday, everybody. We are back from a long week on the road. Last week we didn't have episodes on Wednesday and Friday because we had a couple meet and greets a couple shows. Honestly, this tour has been fantastic. We, we started off in D.C. almost two weeks ago now which was such a great show to kick off the tour. Then we went to Milwaukee, we had a meet and greet, then a show and then we went to Chicago, had a meet and greet and then a Halloween show which was so fun. So fun. Thank you to everybody who came and thank you to everybody who dressed up in Chicago. Everyone was so dedicated and I love to see that, you know, people weren't shying away from going all out for their costumes and we really do appreciate that. It was so much fun. We met so many lovely listeners, listeners in D.C. milwaukee, Chicago, at all the meet and greets that we did before the show which was awesome. Like we love, you know, putting faces to our listeners names because you know, we're talking a lot and just being able to be there in person with you guys is so awesome. So thank you for showing up and if you are interested and are going to be in Cincinnati on Friday, maybe you can't make it to the show Saturday, maybe you're going to the Jonas Brothers. We are doing a meet and greet at Mio's Pizzeria Pub on Friday night, 7 to 9pm we're going to be there. We'd love to see you. We want to hang out, we want to drink some Truly and we want to eat some pizza with you. So come hang out. It's so awesome. Especially you know, a lot of girls come alone sometimes and they're like, oh, I was nervous to show up alone but they come alone and you guys make friends and that is the best feeling in the world to us. So seriously, thank you guys so much and it has been a ton of fun, a lot of laughs and Halloween was great in Chicago.

[Brianne]

It was, it was a ton of fun. It's been a feels like, like the fact that we were in Milwaukee a week ago feels crazy. Like it feels so much longer. But we really did have a blast. Got to try some new things. Obviously had some cheese curds, lots of cheese in Wisconsin which were delicious Bloody Mary's. Didn't know Milwaukee took their Bloody Mary so seriously. They do. And my God was probably the best Bloody Mary in my life that I had so many. There's treats all over it. It's like a whole meal and a drink.

[Fran]

It really was. And let me tell you, I know this is gonna be controversial and the people of Wisconsin are gonna get upset with me or maybe the Midwest as a whole. I said that the cheese curds we tried tasted like mozzarella sticks.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

People are telling me that if it tasted like mozzarella sticks, then it wasn't a good cheese curd.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I'm just.

[Brianne]

I just disagree. I disagree with you on the fact of what? Like, a good mozzarella stick is so different. Like, the breading is so different. How much more seasoning?

[Fran]

The concept of it.

[Noah]

I had the same exact reaction the second I ate it. I was like, oh, that's a mozzarella.

[Fran]

Concept of it is all the same. It's melty cheese fried, which is, you know. Yes. Obviously, there's different variations. You can get a thick mozzarella stick. You can get a thin one. You can get a good cheese pull. You can get a shitty cheese pull. Same things with cheese curds, you know, depending what kind of cheese they use in the middle. So yours may be cheese curds. Wisconsin, my culture is mozzarella sticks. And we can meet somewhere in the middle, and we can agree that it's all delicious because it's just a bunch of fried cheese. And that's what it's all about at the end of the day, it's the fried cheese, and it's delicious.

[Brianne]

Very different dipping sauces as well. You know, you're dipping a mozzarella stick into a marinara sauce, a cheese curd. We had ranch our second round of meals. We had it with. With a little buffalo sauce as well, which was really good.

[Fran]

Yeah, really good. I really look at those things as just a vessel to the sauce. Right. Like, anything I could dip into a sauce, I'm on board with. That's.

[Brianne]

Yeah. So I think I maybe wanted that pretzel we had, too. Was so fucking good. I think that I been thinking about that pretzel.

[Fran]

Yeah. The Milwaukee.

[Brianne]

One of our better pre. Like, better pretzels I've ever had.

[Fran]

It hit the spot. And, of course, Chicago, as well. Hit the spot. We went to a classic Bavettes, the burger place, just to die for. And you know what? Noah gave such a spectacular reaction because I was hyping up this burger. I was like, guys, you got to get the burger. That's what they're known for. It's the same thing as, like, four Charles El Cheval in New York City to get the burger. Noah takes one bite of his burger. He's like, this is amazing. And it was such a good reaction.

[Brianne]

Amazing burger.

[Noah]

Yeah. Really good.

[Brianne]

Where does it rank on your list? I mean, you. Well, you were also just at Red Hook Tavern this weekend. Different burgers, very Different.

[Noah]

Very different burgers. That's why I feel like I couldn't compare.

[Fran]

You can't.

[Noah]

I really haven't had that many types. Like, a burger like that with the.

[Fran]

Bacon and the egg and the whole thing.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah. And I was kind of skeptical when I see an egg on my burger. You know, I don't know. But it's one of the best burgers I've had. Bavettes and Red Hook's obviously amazing, but that's more of, like, a classic plain burger. I was saying, like, JG Melon. That's what I was trying to compare it to. Like, those are, like, pretty simple burgers, but they're all in, like, my top five, probably.

[Fran]

Yeah. Just straight down the middle type of thing.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

Very, very good. But really fun shows all around. We've had great shows. Like, all three shows have been so much fun. So thank you to everybody for coming. And, yes, everyone really crushed it on Halloween.

[Fran]

Everyone showed up. Great costumes, amazing costumes. Everyone really went all out. And a lot of times I'm like, damn, you're so creative. You know, I know our listeners. Yeah, our listeners are so creative. They. They really just go above and beyond. And I'm impressed every single time. So a big shout out to you guys for basically carrying our Halloween show. If you didn't see Fran and I dressed as Elphaba and Glinda, because, you know, Wicked's right around the corner, so close to Wicked last week. So we just thought it was on theme for the time. Basic. Yes. But on theme. There's so many costumes that I want to hit. You know what I mean? But we got the future for that, you know?

[Brianne]

Yeah, yeah. And it's just like. And I also felt like doing a show and being in costume. I was like, I want to be something that is so obvious that you don't need to explain.

[Fran]

Right.

[Brianne]

Cause there are some costumes that are so good, but it's like, wait, I think I know what you are, but I kind of need an explanation.

[Fran]

I'm gonna need you to explain that. Yeah. I was so jealous, it almost brought me to tears. Alex Earle did Lady Gaga Paparazzi, which I want to do. And Lady Gaga commented and was like, oh, my God, this is so sweet. I'm rooting for you. Dancing with the Stars.

[Brianne]

So basic.

[Fran]

I genuinely couldn't be more jealous. I was like, that is. That's why you do the costume.

[Noah]

Well, Jon M. Chu liked your video of you guys in costumes. He did.

[Fran]

That is true. He did. Which is an honor.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

It Is so I get, you know, basically the same thing.

[Noah]

But I mean, kind of.

[Fran]

But you do that for. You know what I mean? Like, you go all out.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And you don't even realize you're doing it for that until the comment comes across your desk for sure. And Lady Gaga comments. And you're like, I fucking did this costume for that. For Lady Gaga to notice me.

[Brianne]

You gotta start posting more about Lady Gaga. Just like.

[Fran]

I know. Just on my spare time. I know.

[Brianne]

Because she's.

[Fran]

She's active on TikTok.

[Brianne]

I do find she is active on TikTok.

[Fran]

She is, you know. Yeah. I have to post about that.

[Brianne]

Like, a lot of times when I see videos on my. For you, Paige, to come up that are talking about like a Lady Gaga show or moment or something. Like, just start posting like, you're like, okay, one video about Lady Gaga.

[Fran]

Just one. And that'll pop off great shows all around. Excited for Cincinnati Reminder Mio's Pizzeria Pub on Friday. We want to hang out with you.

[Noah]

Rachel Carconnell is coming to us.

[Fran]

Rachel Carconnell will be our special guest. We're so excited for that.

[Brianne]

Yeah. And look, it's going to be a very different show because, yes, she was our guest in Ohio the last time we were in Ohio, but she was part of a duo at that time.

[Fran]

Yeah. And Rachel picked Ohio, by the way.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

We were like, we want you to be guests at one of our shows. She picked Ohio.

[Noah]

She just loves Ohio.

[Fran]

I guess she has. She just likes Ohio.

[Brianne]

Or that's just when she was.

[Fran]

She was available for Ohio.

[Brianne]

That's when she was available. And we're very excited for her to come back as a solo artist.

[Fran]

Yes. Solo on the road.

[Noah]

We didn't even talk about. You didn't talk about the whole Greg thing, though.

[Fran]

Right. So that was.

[Noah]

Andrew ended up being a solo artist.

[Fran]

Right?

[Brianne]

He did.

[Fran]

So we had. Andrew and Greg were supposed to be our guests for Chicago show as long as well as Madison from Love is Blind. Yes. And the weather was so bad in New York. Well, sort of just like in the Northeast as a whole, that Greg's flight got canceled multiple times. And he sat on the tarmac for hours.

[Brianne]

Multiple flights, multiple cancellations.

[Fran]

Multiple cancellations. He tried his best to make it and he got canceled. So unfortunately, Greg couldn't make it. But Andrew was and is always spectacular. He is. So great costume from him, Mr. Milchick.

[Brianne]

I'm glad that, you know, thank God he lives in Chicago.

[Fran]

Right.

[Brianne]

It's like, normally we do a lot of our shows. We are flying our guests out to our location. So he is a Chicago guy which obviously went into the, you know, factored into us asking him to do that show. So it was very good that he was available and Madison was great as well. Talking all things Love is blind. And we got to see that reunion. Some juicy stuff happening. Kind of full on, you know. Love is blind, baby. Happens.

[Fran]

Mm.

How was the rest of everyone else's weekend? Noah, we know you went to Red Hook Tavern.

[Noah]

Courtesy of you guys. I was reading Fran's birthday.

[Fran]

It was a birthday gift.

[Noah]

It was lovely.

[Fran]

Yeah, I'm happy you went because I knew that your parents really wanted to go.

[Noah]

They said thank you, by the way. My sister actually said, tell them I said thank you because she's like, I feel like you just give me a really bad rap with them.

[Fran]

Not at all.

[Noah]

No, because I do. I'M always like, I show. Show her stuff when she's like, being really mean to me.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

We've only seen texts from her of her, like, really giving you shit.

[Fran]

Yeah. But I don't take that as her personality. No, I don't hold. I don't think that's just sibling banter.

[Noah]

Yeah, that's what I said.

[Fran]

Yeah. I don't. I would never think twice because it's not like.

[Brianne]

It's not like she's texting you and you're like, oh my God, you're stopping so mean to me. It's like you're giving it right back to her.

[Fran]

Right.

[Noah]

Yeah, I'm just in that part.

[Fran]

Yeah, exactly. But very happy that your parents got to go because I know that they wanted to go. That's great.

[Brianne]

It is, it is. It is delicious. And you had another Halloween party.

[Noah]

Halloween party. That was a mob themed party that I didn't know was mob theme. So walked in and my Louvre robber outfit, although I took my crown off because it was kind of heavy. So I just showed up with chains on and a security or construction. Construction vest. So it kind of did look like I was a mob guy anyway.

[Brianne]

That's fair.

[Fran]

Yeah. Which weirdly fits.

[Brianne]

Yeah, it does work.

[Noah]

No, it was funny though, cuz it took me like I was there for probably almost 10 minutes and I'd be like talking just random people. I'm like, oh, what are you like? And it didn't click until like 10 minutes in.

[Brianne]

I'm like the third time everyone like, wait a second.

[Fran]

Christophers in this joint?

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah. Why does every girl here look like Carmela? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no.

[Brianne]

I literally a lot of every girl's in fur.

[Noah]

I saw one girl and she had like this makeup done.

[Fran]

Where was Adriana?

[Noah]

Adriana where? Like after she got beat up.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

But she. The makeup was so like realistic looking that I thought like, oh, she's been like crying so much and her makeup's like melted all over her face or something.

[Brianne]

Yikes.

[Noah]

That was her costume.

[Fran]

That was. That's a. That's really a dedicated costume.

[Brianne]

I was going to say the makeup must have been really good.

[Noah]

It was, yeah.

[Fran]

Well, I'm glad that you fit in even though you didn't know. Yeah. You fit in seamless.

[Noah]

Yeah. It would have been funnier if my costume was like something outrageous.

[Fran]

Right, right.

[Brianne]

You showed up as like a blow up dinosaur.

[Noah]

Like if I had done like Alan Cumming Traders and walked.

[Fran]

Yeah. Weirdly that might fit as well in a different, you know who Knows you're.

[Brianne]

Like, I don't know. I went with a different region.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yes, exactly.

[Brianne]

That's funny.

[Fran]

Fran, how was your weekend?

[Brianne]

It was good. Very got. Once I got home, it was rest mode because Joe ran the marathon.

[Fran]

Woo.

[Brianne]

On Sunday. Marathon Sunday, it's the best day, honestly, in New York City. It's just so much fun. Love marathon Sunday. The perfect day for it.

[Fran]

Beautiful day.

[Brianne]

It was a gorgeous day. Not too hot, not too cold.

[Fran]

Right in the middle.

[Brianne]

Right in the middle. Which is great. Great for all the runners out there. And it was amazing. I was so excited for him. He was going through all the emotions like that. It was kind of like, I'm nervous, I'm excited, I'm excited, nervous. I'm nervous, excited. And Saturday night was. It was also game seven of the World Series, which was insane. Maybe like the best game of baseball game I've ever watched in my life.

[Fran]

It was so good.

[Brianne]

But it was unfortunate for him because it's like the game was so good. And then it was getting to the point where he had a 5am alarm.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

Where I was like, joe, you gotta go to bed.

[Fran]

At least the clocks went back.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

He did get an extra hour. Did get an extra hour, which was good. And you know, off he went Sunday. And he was so excited. Which freaking telemarketers. Getting a spam call. He was so excited. And he looked ready to go. Was pumped for him. And he was cruising once he started. You know, you can track everybody on the. On the app and all those things, but like, God, the app never works on race day.

[Fran]

I just use the website. I know the website's reliable.

[Brianne]

Yeah, I know. It was just like, you know, when you're out of the race, you can't be on the website.

[Fran]

What?

[Brianne]

Like when I'm running around, I don't have my computer to be on the website.

[Fran]

You could just go on the website on your phone.

[Brianne]

Oh, I know, but it's like you have the app, right.

[Fran]

But the website version on your phone works perfectly. I was on that all day.

[Brianne]

Didn't even. We had no service. Was also an issue. Like you were. You know, it's like when we're. I couldn't even track him on five. Like I have. I obviously have his location, which is a very easy way to track where he is.

[Fran]

True.

[Brianne]

But it's so congested that you do not have great service. So I'm like, ooh, this was his location. It says 12 minutes ago. Obviously he's still moving.

[Fran]

Yeah. Not updated.

[Brianne]

Not updated. But no it was so much fun. His mom went to go see him in Brooklyn, and then we all met up for mile, like, 17, and then we did mile in between 24 and 25 in the park, which is a great one and definitely where a lot of people need some encouragement.

[Fran]

Yeah, keep going.

[Brianne]

He was like, oh, gosh, I really needed to see you guys at that point because it was. It was struggling. Everyone's struggling that it's also, like, so mean that the marathon ends with hills. Going through Central park is a lot of hills. So, you know, you're giving everybody that extra encouragement. I love cheering people on anyway, in the marathon. It's so much fun. We had a lot of great signs for him, which was fun. I did some big fat heads, so he was easy to spot. So a lot of my family came, which was great. My mom came up from Florida, which Joe did not know she was doing, so that was great. And a couple of my aunts and G and JB and TJ were all with us, and my grandma, which, you know, shout out, Meemaw, man. Because we were on our feet all day long, non stop from spot to spot. Breakfast all over the Upper east side, through the park, downtown, everywhere. My phone clocked me at almost 20,000 steps for the day. What's funny is, like, you complain, and then you're like, all these people ran.

[Fran]

They ran 26.

[Brianne]

You're like, oh, my feet hurt from walking around all day. I'm like, no, everybody ran a marathon. These people ran 26.2 miles. Like, it's insane. But she did it all in. In boots, which healed booties.

[Fran]

We.

[Brianne]

Which. My grandma does not wear flats.

[Fran]

Yeah. We never expected to wear anything.

[Brianne]

I never. The only time I see her, like, if she's going to exercise, walk around the neighborhood, she's in sneakers.

[Fran]

Mm.

[Brianne]

But we all told her. My mom, my aunts, everyone, like, called her before being like, there's gonna be a lot of walking. Don't wear heels.

[Fran]

Mm.

[Brianne]

And she shows up in these boots, and she's like, what? They're like, they're not heels. They're boots. I'm like, oh, my God. Which was just unreal. And she, you know, made her the whole day, no problem.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

But she spry. It was. And then, you know, you offer to help. She's like, leave me alone. I'm fine.

[Fran]

Mm. So she is, though.

[Brianne]

She is. But no, it's such a fun day. And I'm so proud of Joe. He finished a little over four hours, which he was happy about.

[Fran]

That's Amazing first marathon.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

That's incredible.

[Brianne]

Very happy about. And you know, he's like. It was. I think his official time was like, four hours, two minutes, which he was like, you know what? At least it was minutes and not seconds. Because it's like, sometimes when you miss it by, like, seconds, it's like, oh, I was so close.

[Fran]

Like, 20 seconds.

[Brianne]

Yeah. You're like, oh. Because then it's like, oh, I maybe could have shaved off 20 seconds somewhere, which would have been hard to do. Olive's getting cozy.

[Fran]

Okay. You good?

[Brianne]

But it was minutes, which is okay, but. I know. So proud of him. Trained so hard. All for this moment. And even this morning, he was joking. Like, I don't know what to do. I was like, yeah, the year's basically over.

[Fran]

Yeah, well, he did it.

[Brianne]

I was like, this is all we've had to look forward to. Now he's like, I've got nothing. I got nothing planned.

[Fran]

He did it. He never has to do it again.

[Brianne]

I know.

[Fran]

If he doesn't want to.

[Brianne]

Well, truly, like, he finished and texted me and was like, never again.

[Fran]

I mean, I'm sure when you're crossing that finish line, you're like, holy. Because I was asking him, like, I'm really curious of how his body feels. Not good. Not. Not great. But it's so amazing. Everybody who completes it and then goes out after it has, like, beers and stuff. I can't. I genuinely can't wrap my head around that. Yeah, that one. I can't wrap my head around everybody going out after grabbing be.

[Brianne]

How are you? Why you gotta, like, fake it.

[Fran]

You just die. You don't just die on the couch after. Like, I don't. That. I'm just like, wow. Like, people are celebrating. It's, you know, rewarding at the end, but. Oh, my God. How are you alive and standing?

[Brianne]

I know. I know. I felt that way. With all of his friends that ran. I was. It was so fun. We did a little, like, afterparty downtown with a bunch of his other friends that ran. And everybody, like, so impressive. Just, like, impressive times all around. One of his best friends ran it in 3 hours, 40 seconds.

[Fran]

Yeah, I saw that. That's in. That's insane.

[Brianne]

Insane. Really? Truly, so, so impressed by all of them. We. We really had a. A ton of fun cheering them on. Yeah, he. He got out of the shower this morning, and I was like, ah. He was like, what? I'm like, you're. You like, the. Just from your clothes, like, it leaves marks in your. And the chafing and, like, he had a line from his, like, compression shorts, like, right around his waist that was, like, red. And I was like, oh, my God. Are you all right? He was like, oh, I couldn't even see that. Like, how bad does it look?

[Fran]

Right?

[Brianne]

And then as he probably takes a.

[Fran]

Little bit to recover from everything to get back into place.

[Brianne]

No, but I. You're going to sound like an old man for weeks. Like, he just even getting out of bed, like, walk to the bathroom. He was like, yeah.

[Fran]

He texted that he almost fell going, yeah. Which makes sense. I mean, you're like, you just ran 26 miles.

[Brianne]

Gonna be incredibly sore.

[Fran]

Right. But an amazing accomplishment.

[Brianne]

And it's such a. I think most people, if you can try to take the day off. So he is doing that. Rest, recuperate, get breakfast. Obviously, you gotta walk around all day with your medal on.

[Fran]

Have to.

[Brianne]

Have to.

[Fran]

You gotta wear it everywhere.

[Brianne]

You gotta wear it everywhere. I love seeing people walk around New York City the day after with their medal. Cause I'm like. Everyone's like, thank you. The medal is here. Also really cool. Like, really cool metal. Congrats to everybody that ran and got one of those medals because they changed the design a little bit. It was like, the terrain of the course, like, the elevation for the whole 26 miles. So it was a very, very cool metal. But it is just such a fun day. And really could not be more proud of him for doing this and accomplishing it and running 26.2 miles.

[Fran]

Cause wouldn't be me, especially in that time, because it really doesn't even matter what your time is. Just doing that in general is extremely impressive. But doing it for your first time in four hours is incredible. So cool.

[Brianne]

Very impressed. So it was so much fun. And we got to see, you know, a lot of people running, and you're tracking everybody, which is a ton of fun. A lot of people from the Bachelor ran this year, which, I mean, they have in years past.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

But a lot of people, it felt like this this year, too. So it's fun tracking everybody. I felt like kind of a finish.

[Fran]

I was tracking them all.

[Brianne]

I was like, well, you know, my mom was like, track, like, tracking Tyler.

[Fran]

Yes. Yeah.

[Brianne]

Joe ran past us at 24 and a half. And JB, who is, you know, pretty close with Tyler and Tate now because they're all, you know, all living in Jupiter. JB was tracking Tyler and Tate, and they were running together, which as they should be. You know, sometimes it's like, if you're running with a girlfriend, Husband. Sometimes, you know, you have your own personal goals or they separate. Obviously, that's a conversation you have beforehand.

[Fran]

Right.

[Brianne]

Like, we sticking together.

[Fran]

But that's very nice, because it's like, Yeah. I don't know. They run all the time. You know what I mean? Like, at least they did it together, because I feel like I saw Tate store, like, some stories about how maybe she hurt her knees or something.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So obviously very nice.

[Brianne]

I know. Jimmy was like, they really only started training, like, not that long ago. Like, this should be pretty interesting. But Joe went by, and then my mom was like, where are they? Jimmy was like, oh, they're not far behind. Mom was like, oh, we got to wait for them. So we waited for them, and they went. They. They went by. I was like, we were trying to cheer loud for them, but I'm sure everybody is yelling at them as they go by, too. So they were, like, locked in, walking. Walking by. And. Yeah, that's kind of all we saw. Brian from Love island went by us.

[Fran]

Oh, yeah. Interesting.

[Brianne]

Gia screamed, where's Amaya Papaya? At him. I said, he doesn't need to hear that right now.

[Fran]

No. Yeah. That's just. That's a troll.

[Brianne]

She literally said it. That. She goes, I don't know why I did that. Troll just, like, came out of her. She was like, I don't know. I don't know why I did that.

[Fran]

Now, if I was running a marathon, someone did that to me, I'd actually probably freak the out.

[Brianne]

Well, I. If I had to guess, she was not the only one.

[Fran]

No, probably not. Probably not.

[Brianne]

I wonder if. I think Nick ran too, and his whole thing was like, I'm not training. I'm just, like, running a marathon.

[Noah]

I saw him run. I didn't know he didn't train.

[Brianne]

Yeah. Or I. At least maybe some training. But I don't think it was, like, as extensive as most.

[Fran]

I know Some people get out there without training at all, and it's like, what. What are you thinking? I. I know. I mean, I guess they completed, and that's great for them, but I'm just like, oh, my God, you can get seriously hurt.

[Brianne]

I know. I know, I know.

[Fran]

Your mind starts racing of all the things that can happen.

[Brianne]

Seriously, it is nuts.

[Fran]

You could poop your pants.

[Brianne]

There's so many things that could happen.

[Fran]

And I didn't know any of that until last.

[Brianne]

Oh, so many things.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

So many things. I know. So, yeah, it was a great day.

[Fran]

That's amazing. Yeah. That's incredible.

[Brianne]

Wonderful, wonderful day.

[Fran]

Wonderful weekend. All around. And yes, the Game 7 of the world Series was so crazy, insane, and genuinely the best baseball game I think I've ever seen. Everyone was just on the edge of their seat. I mean, how could you not be? It really was very sad for the Blue Jays. Obviously, it's been quite some time. It's been quite some time for them. But on the other side of that, the Dodgers, two years in a row is pretty sick. Last time it's been done was the Yankees. 1998, 1999, 2000 is three in a row. So the Dodgers are definitely gonna try and get that next year. I mean, yeah, these guys from Japan. Yeah, they're fucking insane.

[Brianne]

Yep, yep, yep.

[Fran]

Yamimoto getting out there after pitching the day before, I'm like, how is his arm?

[Brianne]

I know.

[Fran]

Not hanging to the ground. It is some of the most impressive shit you'll ever see. It's incredible.

[Brianne]

I know.

[Fran]

I just. It's really, like, so cool at the same time, like, the fact that he's getting out there. He just pitched the day before. It's unheard of to just get back out there again.

[Brianne]

Crazy really doesn't happen in baseball ever. To see that happen.

[Fran]

No. Absolutely insane.

[Brianne]

It's like, you see that you also have show. Hey, pitching, obviously, being Shohei and doing what he does, which is incredible. And it's like, all combined together for a perfect storm of another Dodgers win. The Dodgers are like one of those teams for me that, like, it's just. When it gets to the point that they're so good, you're just, like, annoyed, you know, it's like, ugh.

[Noah]

They're just so likable, though. Like, usually when the team keeps winning.

[Fran]

You'Re like, I know that I. Which is funny.

[Brianne]

I actually, like, disagree. But I think it's just. Cause I'm. I think I'm just a Phyllis man.

[Noah]

I'm talking about, like, the actual personalities. Like, are there people? You're like, I don't like them.

[Fran]

No, I agree, because. No, I agree that I do like them. And last year I was a big hater because the. Obviously they beat the Yankees. But I agree that they are a bunch. They're a lot likeable guys. Very likable. Mookie Betts always, when he was on the Red Sox, he's very likable. I mean, all of them just Ohtani picking up Yamimoto and just like. I'm like, this is the cutest shit I've ever seen. Like, they are super likable.

[Noah]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

I mean, and then at the same time, you got pitchers and catchers hitting home runs, which just does not happen in baseball. It doesn't.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Like Will Smith getting up. Catchers are always at the bottom of the lineup. They're fucking terrible at hit. A lot of times he gets up there, boom, home run. You're like, this team, they got so much money, they got likable guys. The coach so nice, he's thanking all the wives for, you know, motivating them. I'm like, this is. How am I smiling at this right now? You know?

[Brianne]

Yeah, you're. You're right. I think it. It's just the Philly fan in me that I'm like, again, I gotta watch these guys, you know?

[Fran]

Yeah. It just. It comes over. I'm like, you know what? How cool.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Two times in a row.

[Brianne]

And I think I also was. And I've said this before and I. I have said, like, Joe's cousin, who's also one of his best friends, is a massive Blue Jays fan. And I just was like, it was.

[Fran]

Very sad for the Blue Jays.

[Brianne]

I felt. I was just like seeing.

[Fran]

It's just seeing Vladimir Aguero.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Crying in the dugout.

[Brianne]

No, I might. No, I. I couldn't. Sad.

[Fran]

That was really sad.

[Noah]

All the jokes about Drake taking another L to Kendrick, though, They're very funny.

[Fran]

Yeah. I mean, I would. I. That's the last thing on my mind when it comes to.

[Brianne]

I'm like all those poor fans. Two games in a row. They were still close in Toronto. Yeah. It's just.

[Fran]

And both back to back innings with bases loaded and getting out of it. You're just like, that doesn't happen.

[Brianne]

I know.

[Fran]

It was amazing. It was cinematic.

[Brianne]

It was.

[Fran]

It was a great game. It was really spectacular for a Saturday.

[Brianne]

This game's a movie.

[Fran]

Yeah. It was amazing. Incredible.

[Brianne]

To say, really nuts.

[Fran]

All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We are going to be doing. We're going to be talking about Halloween weekend as a whole. Ariana Grande is going to star in American Horror Story Season 13. Cat stickler John Mayer and Andy Cohen walk in the streets of New York City. Jennifer Aniston goes Instagram official with her boy toy David, you know, boyfriend, boy toy David harbor, not a great guy, apparently. His ex wife, Lily Allen, whole new album, lots of songs about him. Millie Bobby Brown accusing him bullying on set. And we have the weekly watch report. So let's get into it. If you know me, you follow me, you listen to the show. You know, I love getting a bouncy blowout. But I like making that bouncy blowout last me for days. That's where Batiste dry shampoo comes into play. The award winning number one dry shampoo. It's instantly refreshing your hair with Batiste. It absorbs oil and grease for cleaner looking and feeling hair with added volume and texture. It's great on your hair, it's easy on your wallet, and you get the blowout look without the blowout price. So you can get a blowout and then you can make that last for days with Batiste dry Shampoo. That's what I like to do. Batiste works better than the next leading competitor and brands that cost up to two times more. And it's a cult classic for a reason. You know when you go to somebody's house, maybe your girlfriend's house, and they whip out their dry shampoo and it's Batiste. That's that way for a reason. All hair types are welcome, so buy Batiste Dry Shampoo online or in store at your nearest retailer. All right, let's get into the topics. It was Halloween weekend, so, you know, the celebrities are showing up. They're showing out Heidi Klum's Halloween party. She dressed as Medusa. Very scary.

[Brianne]

Yeah. And I didn't like that tongue thing she had. I was like, how's she doing that?

[Fran]

It was very sick, twisted, but it was very cool at the same time. I gotta be honest, I was pretty underwhelmed as a whole by Halloween weekend with celebrities.

[Brianne]

I felt like I saw less production.

[Fran]

Which is a hot topic around Halloween, where it's like, you know, a lot of celebrities, they'll do photo shoots and then they won't do anything else. I like that. It gives me something to look at on social media. You know, the videos they make, the pictures, the photo shoots they do. I'm always in it. I'm like, why not give it to me? I see a lot of that this year.

[Brianne]

Yeah, you're right. I don't feel like I didn't really either. And maybe like, did all the Kardashians dress up? Because normally I feel like they take a lot up. A lot of that conversation. I feel like I saw none.

[Fran]

I saw a couple costumes that they did, but really nothing crazy. No big photo shoots or anything like that. Or at least I didn't see. Yeah, so I was a little. I was. I felt it was a little lackluster. Right.

[Brianne]

Normally, like, you can count on Kim doing something pretty nuts.

[Fran]

I mean, they weren't putting out cinematic tiktoks. Like, we were as Elphaba and Glinda, you know, on the streets of Chicago with Security Mike driving the car. Yeah, I didn't see those from anybody.

[Noah]

The fact that Security Mike, like, people are fans of security.

[Fran]

No, it's insane, because I think we don't talk about the fact that Security Mike travels with us, but he travels with us too. And people at our meet and greets are stopping to talk to Security Mike before they're stopping to talk to us. They're like, oh, my God, it's Security Mike from Beach House. I'm like, oh, my God, Mike, you're.

[Noah]

Taking pictures at the meeting. Yeah.

[Fran]

I'm like, oh, my God. He's a star. But he takes. He takes it very seriously.

[Brianne]

I. I didn't. I didn't know Security Mike was going to be here in, like, the most genuine way. Everybody was so excited to see him.

[Fran]

Yeah, he rocks. He keeps us safe and in check. You know what I mean?

[Brianne]

That is true.

[Fran]

And he'll also drive the car for the TikToks and tell us as many takes as you need. Yeah, Mike, he's always down.

[Brianne]

I got you guys.

[Fran]

He's always down.

[Brianne]

Absolutely. And there wasn't too many crazy moments. I think Julia Fox definitely caused some controversy with her costume.

[Fran]

I mean, what was she thinking?

[Brianne]

The Jack Kennedy blood splattered outfit? I know. And, you know, she posted on her own Instagram with the caption and explanation of why she did that. And all of her comments were like, oh, my God, this is so amazing. It's so camp. We get it. It's just like, what a statement. I was like, you're not gonna. You're not gonna get me on this one. You're not gonna get me on this one.

[Fran]

There's so many other costumes in which you can be camp with.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

That one just didn't feel necessary.

[Brianne]

No, it doesn't feel very camp to me, to be quite honest.

[Fran]

No, no, it just feels inappropriate. Yes, that's the word for it.

[Brianne]

Like, just, like, extremely inappropriate. And of course, she's not the first person in the world to dress up as Jackie Kennedy and especially that pink outfit. But really, the blood splatter, the significance of that moment in history, just doesn't feel like a Halloween costume. No.

[Noah]

When the actual grandson is like, this is terrible, then I feel like that's all you need to know.

[Brianne]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

No, it's terrible.

[Brianne]

Yeah, it's.

[Fran]

It's terrible.

[Brianne]

There's just a level of disrespect there that you're Just like, I, I, I don't really care what your explanation is or saying you want to honor how strong of a woman she was in that moment and the significance that that had is. There's other ways to do that. That's not dressing up in the costume for Halloween.

[Fran]

There's always gonna be a couple on Halloween that miss the mark and you go, why? There's so many other options out there for Halloween costumes, you know?

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

That one just didn't have to be.

[Brianne]

It did not. And she got absolutely roasted basically everywhere else online for it. And yes, multiple family members saying, like, not cool. Did not like that at all. You know, I'm dressed not as a costume, but as a statement. With what? Julia Fox. Well, it's Halloween.

[Fran]

You should do a costume.

[Noah]

You're Julia Fox. You don't need to be making a political statement or, like, whatever you're doing.

[Brianne]

Right. She did turn the comments off on the post. They were on for a while, but now they are turned off. But, yeah, I don't. Just not good. I did not like that at all.

[Fran]

No, that was not good. That was not it. That was not a good one.

[Brianne]

No. And, like, some things, I'm like, okay, I maybe I can see it. Whatever. I'm like, with this one, I'm, like, not trying, you know? No, it's just not, it's not. Not cool. Not cool.

[Fran]

There were some other cool ones, though, besides not one.

[Brianne]

Yeah, yeah. That one was in the not cool category.

[Fran]

That one under the. Yes, you can file that under not cool. Y. Alex Earle, I already talked about in the beginning, but just on point for Lady Gaga.

[Brianne]

Yeah, really good.

[Fran]

I saw a couple of other people do Lady Gaga, and I'm always impressed with the way they do it. You know, it's always, they always go all out. He's doing a little music video type thing.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Crushed it for me.

[Brianne]

Saw a lot of good makeup. I felt like, especially on TikTok. I feel like the Tiktokers are really crushing it when it comes to Halloween.

[Fran]

With.

[Brianne]

Which is fun, but I can't even. Oh, Nina Dobrev, we were just talking about. She dressed up as the bride of Chucky and carried around a little Chucky doll all over the party she was at, which is funny.

[Fran]

Very funny.

[Brianne]

Funny.

[Fran]

She looked great. Yeah, it was a great costume.

[Brianne]

Yeah. Obviously an underlying message there. As a viewer, I would think. Yes. I mean, you. That's enough. Where it's like, oh, she's the bride of Chucky. She's carrying a Chucky doll. It's obvious. But, like, you know, Chucky does have red hair.

[Fran]

Chucky has red hair. She was engaged to Shaun White.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And now no longer.

[Brianne]

Yep.

[Fran]

So you know who.

[Noah]

Shaun White apparently has a new girlfriend. I saw.

[Brianne]

Yeah, I saw that too. Feels fast.

[Fran]

Yeah, right? It was like a tiktoker or something. Did I read that correctly?

[Noah]

I think that's what I saw too.

[Brianne]

Yeah. I remember seeing the name and did not recognize.

[Fran]

I didn't recognize it, and then I didn't look it up. That's as far as I cared about.

[Brianne]

John Mike getting a new girl. I saw the headline and was like.

[Fran]

And then I just moved on about my day.

[Brianne]

Yep. Another one that people thought was a potential shade or statement was Kayla Nicole.

[Fran]

Yeah. Tony Braxton.

[Brianne]

Tony Braxton look remade the music video of her song. He wasn't bad enough.

[Fran]

So Haley, our makeup artist, texted me about this.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

She was like, oh, my God, Kayla Nicole's costume. And I was like, what am I missing here? Isn't she just dressed as Tony Braxton? And then I look deeper into it.

[Brianne]

And I was like, oh, no. You had to, like, you know, you gotta listen to the song.

[Fran]

You gotta get into the underlying messaging and all that. And then I kind of picked up on it. I was like, oh, I see where people are getting, you know, all jazzed up about this. But initially I was like, what's the problem? She's just dressed as Toni Braxton.

[Brianne]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

I literally wrote back. Like, I'm confused. Can you explain to me? Because I don't understand. But I didn't listen to the lyrics or anything. And then I went back and did.

[Brianne]

Yeah. Once you watch the full clip she posted where it's, you know, basically the. The chorus of, you know, multiple lines of, he. He wasn't man enough for me. If you don't know now here's the chance I've already had your man. Do you wonder just where he. Where he's been? Yeah. Not to be worried about him. Now it's time you know the truth. I think he's just the man for you.

[Fran]

Well, here's the thing.

[Brianne]

Like, do you know how I dumped your husband? Girlfriend?

[Fran]

Yeah. Like, people know what they're doing. Like Kaylin, what she's doing with this.

[Brianne]

100%.

[Fran]

You do not pick this.

[Brianne]

You don't do that. You know, the whole music video with this.

[Fran]

These lyrics. You don't. You just don't. Unless you know what you're doing for sure. But maybe she felt like Taylor's lyrics were a hit at Her. So she was like, I'm gonna hit back. I don't know. But I'm just like, can we just give it a rest?

[Brianne]

You know, I know, I agree. At the same time, it's like what I see it, I'm like, ugh. Again, like, you know, it's just like.

[Fran]

But.

[Brianne]

It did feel like they. That especially you know that line about the phone. Yeah. That Taylor said what she said and maybe Kayla saw that as an opening.

[Fran]

And said, you know what? I know what I'm being for Halloween. Yeah, I got it.

[Brianne]

I'll have the last say guarantee that.

[Fran]

Right. And then she does this for Halloween.

[Brianne]

She looked amazing.

[Fran]

She always looks amazing.

[Brianne]

Quite the quite the costume. But yeah, I think the Swifties were pretty upset about that one for sure. I think it's just like, at what point is like, hey, give it a rest. You know, it's just like a lot to say about the two of them. But once again, Taylor may have cracked the door open on that one. Just. Just a little.

[Fran]

Right? Just a little bit. There wasn't really any other standouts to me Halloween wise. I mean, Macaulay Culkin dressed as a toilet and I really didn't like that. I really, I have to say, I really did not like that at all. He was a full blown toilet and he was carrying feces and. Right, feces. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brianne]

No, you're right.

[Fran]

Poop.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I said the word and I was like, did I say that correctly? I don't know. It's one of those moments, you know, you're talking a lot. Yeah. But I didn't like that at all. Don't like the toilet.

[Brianne]

Not a fan of the toilet.

[Fran]

Once again, other Halloween costumes out there. You can go with. Why are you going with the toilet?

[Brianne]

Right.

[Noah]

Do you just not like dressing up as an object?

[Brianne]

No, no, I don't care about that.

[Fran]

I mean. No, I really don't care. Who, like, who am I? You know, Dress up, whatever. Like when people are like go to the store, they pick up the stupid costume. You know, it was a pretty low level low brow to me. Yeah. But who might have judged? You know what I mean? I'm going with. Sometimes they're going to just Glinda and Alphabud. Maybe the fact they're even going out of the way to put something on good with me in the first place. It's just the fact that he's dressed up. Why a toilet?

[Brianne]

It is always funny to me too when couples do completely opposite costumes.

[Fran]

Yeah. She was dressed as Robin.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And he's dressed as a toilet.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Maybe Robin has a bad bladder.

[Fran]

Yeah, maybe. Or it wasn't bladder, though.

[Brianne]

It wasn't bladder.

[Fran]

It was colon. Yeah. What it was.

[Brianne]

It was a poopy toilet.

[Fran]

He was holding poop. That's my issue.

[Brianne]

It wasn't a urinal.

[Noah]

Oh, I thought he was just like. But like. Like, it's just a toilet. You could use it for whatever.

[Fran]

No, he was dressed.

[Brianne]

I mean, he could obviously dress as a toilet, but it had poop with.

[Fran]

A plunger and poop.

[Noah]

I didn't see the poop part.

[Fran]

Yeah, plunger in.

[Noah]

I don't like that.

[Fran]

Yeah, exactly. You know, we just didn't do that.

[Noah]

In front of you, like.

[Fran]

Right, exactly.

[Brianne]

You're just like, oh. And then my. You're just like, hey, my husband, you know, couldn't get him to be Batman, so he's a toilet.

[Fran]

Yeah. This is. Hey. He was passionate about this. But that was really it for Halloween. I thought it was pretty lackluster, but, you know, everyone had their fun.

[Brianne]

I know, it was. It did feel like a long Halloween where we had multiple weekends of. Of costumes and parties and events. But the costumes at our show I.

[Noah]

Think were probably better than.

[Fran]

Yeah, totally agree.

[Brianne]

Yeah, totally agree.

[Fran]

Every costume I saw at our show.

[Noah]

Was more impressive than anything in the office ones. Like when I. When that clicked in my head, I was like, that's incredible.

[Fran]

Yeah, chicks in the office.

[Noah]

There were chicks on their heads.

[Fran]

There were two girls dressed up like me and Fran from our promo for the tour, which is amazing. There were people dressed up like you. They had. It was amazing. So, yeah, they crushed it. And they did a lot better.

[Brianne]

Couple of really good.

[Fran]

Kris Jenner's so good. Yeah. Yeah.

[Noah]

The apparently kid was funny.

[Brianne]

Apparently kid was so funny. Somebody screamed at them. I screamed at them for five minutes during the show because I could not figure out. That was another thing where I was like, when you see two people stand up, you just think automatically that there's something together. And they weren't. So I was stuck on, like, trying to figure out what they were together. And they were just individual things. One being the apparently kid and one being the stepmom from Jennifer Coolidge and a Cinderella story. And, like, it was pink stripes and then green stripes. So I was like, I thought they were coronated and I could not figure out for the life of me what they were. And they're screaming down at me and I can't hear them. And then the people in front of them are screaming. Then they just started screaming apparently at me. And I was like, apparently what?

[Fran]

And then it turned out.

[Brianne]

And then it turned out to be the.

[Fran]

Apparently.

[Brianne]

She was the apparently kid.

[Noah]

The girl who asked the final question. What was she?

[Brianne]

Melissa McCarthy?

[Noah]

That's what I thought. Okay.

[Fran]

Oh, my God.

[Noah]

But she was a star.

[Brianne]

Sophie. Shout out. Sophie.

[Fran]

Sophie was. She was amazing.

[Brianne]

And then when we got to the barstool bar, which, you know, we didn't know was live karaoke, which is our fault.

[Fran]

Yeah. Only thing worse than country music to me is live karaoke.

[Brianne]

We get there and it's live karaoke. And she got up there and started to do karaoke. And I was like, I fucking love this girl.

[Fran]

She's amazing. She's such a star.

[Brianne]

Yeah, she was so funny.

[Fran]

I also was gonna mention one other costume, but I'm completely blanking now.

[Brianne]

There was a good Tony and Carmela.

[Fran]

There was.

[Brianne]

But there was a mozzarella 6.

[Fran]

There was somebody dressed up like Trisha Paytas and her kids.

[Brianne]

Oh, yeah, that's a good one.

[Fran]

Hilarious. Really good one. It was Elvis, Aquaman and Barbie. Really so funny.

[Brianne]

Really good one.

[Fran]

That was spot on.

[Brianne]

Oh, you know what I wanted to mention to you? Did you see the rare beauty gala was this weekend as well, or during the week. And I saw a TikTok that really just made me think of you. It really cracked me up. Christina Kirkman, who I think is hysterical.

[Fran]

Hilarious. I'm obsessed with her.

[Brianne]

I watch all of her tiktoks and she made one where she was like, I was at this event and, you know, I said, I've never been to an auction. Got excited, went in, said, this is my limit. Not going over this limit. Cannot spend more than this amount of money goes in. First thing gets excited, paddles up. It's going up, it's going up, it's going up, it's going up. All of a sudden it's double what she said her limit was. And she was like, I'm taking it, I'm taking it. And it was like a live taping of smart list to, like, go see them record smart lists or something. It's something that they don't. They don't do ever. And she wins it. And afterwards her friends are like, you're. You're not here for this taping. Like the date that the taping is. You are not going to be available. And she's like, oh, like, oh, I'll. Maybe I could do a different day or whatever. And then was like, no, this is like the one day that they are going to do this.

[Fran]

And you will. You will not be here.

[Brianne]

And you spent, like, 10 grand on it. I was like, wow, auction gone wrong. Auction gone wrong.

[Fran]

Relatable.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Where you're like, get in there. And you just want to be a part of something.

[Brianne]

Exactly.

[Fran]

And that's.

[Brianne]

That's how she felt. And it really reminded me of when we were there.

[Fran]

And I was like, so funny. That's. Yeah, that's what happens when you're at these, you know, auctions.

[Brianne]

All of a sudden, it's double the amount winning, too.

[Fran]

You're like, I want to win this.

[Brianne]

Exactly. She's like, you know what? Good. Cause it's the amount I'm comfortable spending. It'll be great. Then all of a sudden, I'm at double what I said.

[Fran]

Mm. Oh, my God. So funny. Moving on to, you know, good cause. It's a good cause.

[Brianne]

She was like, you know what? Donated a good cause. Donated to a good cause. Can't be. Can't even go to what I want.

[Fran]

No. But at least she donated to a good cause. Moving on. Ariana Grande will star in American Horror story, season 13. Ariana Grande's got the acting bug. She's got Wicked. She's got Meet the Fockers or Meet the Parents or whatever the fuck we're calling it after the fifth one. And now she's American Horror Story. And I am a large fan of American Horror Story, so this, to me, excites me. I'm very happy about it. I think she will be spectacular and it'll rope me back into the series because I am an American Horror Story fan. But I did fall off a couple seasons ago. They did lose me a little bit.

[Brianne]

I've never watched it. And I think that this would be the. Like, if I was ever going to, I would want to watch.

[Fran]

No, no.

[Brianne]

With our integrity.

[Fran]

You're gonna have to watch other ones before you watch this one.

[Brianne]

You think I have to?

[Fran]

Yes, you have to watch Murder House. You have to watch Asylum. And I think anybody who's watched American Horror Story will fully agree with me that you need to watch those. They don't have anything to do with each other. They're all different each season.

[Brianne]

Did you see that Emma Roberts and Evan Peters are both also on the cast list for this new season.

[Fran]

And you know what?

[Brianne]

They have not been together in a while.

[Fran]

No. And they shouldn't be in the same room, I don't think.

[Brianne]

No, I don'. Really think so. But it's like they. Do their characters have anything to do with each other? On the show, it's different.

[Fran]

Each se. Every season is different characters. They play different things.

[Brianne]

They play different characters every season when they're doing repeats. Like, Sarah Paulson's playing a different character every time she's on American Hor Story.

[Fran]

Got it. Evan Peters is American Horror Story.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

In my opinion. And Sarah Paulson as well.

[Brianne]

Yes, they are. Emma Roberts back, I'm gonna look at a full list. And Billie Lord is going to be in this season too. You know, I love it because it did really bring me back to Scream Queens. Like, a lot of this cast reminded me of Scream Queens for obvious reasons, because a lot of them were in Scream Queens, including Ariana Grande.

[Fran]

That is very true.

[Brianne]

You know, the cast announcer Season 13 are all actors who have worked in the Ryan Murphy universe before. Grande starred in the Scream Queens playing Chanel Number two. And Emma Roberts and Billie Lord will be back as well. They played Chanel and Chanel number three. Scream Queens was. God, Scream Queens was so fucking good. Talk about it.

[Fran]

So does this new American Horror season have to do with Scream Queens?

[Brianne]

No, I don't think so. It's just called American Horror Story Season 13. Oh, I forgot what the name of it was, though.

[Fran]

They.

[Brianne]

They posted on Instagram.

[Fran]

So I do want to say that I never finished. And this is gonna be crazy because I'm pretty sure this is the one Lady Gaga's in.

[Noah]

Oh.

[Fran]

Lady Gaga was in American Horror Story Hotel.

[Brianne]

Okay.

[Fran]

And I'm.

[Brianne]

It's scary, right?

[Fran]

Yes, a little bit. And I'm pretty sure I stopped watching midway through of American Horror Hotel. I don't know why. I think I got a little more scared, but I don't remember finishing that season. Maybe I did, but to me. Cause I didn't really, like. I didn't love Coven, which was three. The first two were so good, in my opinion. And I got so attached to them that I think after that, you know when you just get attached to something. Yeah. And then after that, it's just like, can't be as good to you. They're already.

[Brianne]

I mean, there's.

[Fran]

There's no.

[Brianne]

They're already at season 13.

[Fran]

I know. I know they are, but the first two are so fucking good. Freak show was good too.

[Brianne]

But what's the last one you watched that was at Hotel?

[Fran]

Probably Freak show in its entirety was Freak show. Because I don't remember the ending of Hotel, which to me feels like I didn't finish it. Right.

[Brianne]

Right.

[Fran]

You know. Right. And then I didn't watch after that. I haven't seen any of the other ones.

[Brianne]

This is a hell of a cast. I'm not gonna lie that they're bringing everybody back in this way. Obviously. Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lord, Gabor sidibai, Leslie Grossman, Jessica Lange. It's an all star Ryan Murphy. Jessica Lange is all star Ryan Murphy cast right there.

[Fran]

I mean this is. That's an all. That's an all time American Horror Story cast.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

That is good stuff. Yeah. I would recommend you watch the first two seasons. I probably like Murder House better than Asylum. I just like Murder House is a little less scary than Asylum is.

[Brianne]

I'm just like never in the mood to watch something scary like that. Like multiple episodes. Like a scary movie I could get through because it's like over in two.

[Fran]

Hours, you know, not like scary like that. Asylum is definitely a little bit more scary.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But Murder House is like more like thriller. Yeah. And it's like they got romance in it and stuff, you know, in the first one.

[Brianne]

Yeah. So very interesting to see Evan Peters and Emma Roberts back on him. I wonder like if there will be any character interaction.

[Fran]

Yeah, maybe.

[Brianne]

Or if they like try and keep.

[Fran]

Could be different storylines.

[Brianne]

Keep it separate. Different storylines. Yeah.

[Fran]

But that's very exciting. Ariana Grande is going to be great. Cat Stickler, John Mayer, Andy Cohen. Out on the streets of New York City, Cat Stickler and John Mayer had a little date night at TC. Yeah. On November 1st. And then they were walking the streets with Andy Cohen. If John Mayer is introducing a girl to Andy Cohen, it's getting serious, in my opinion. I agree. No, do you agree?

[Noah]

I think so. I mean, I can't remember the last time this is. It's gotten this far, you know.

[Brianne]

Yeah, I mean, I absolutely do agree. And I think like it amps up even more with what Andy Cohen was saying about John on. He was just on Color Daddy and was like, you know, we really love each other. Like it's like they really have such a close bond that you would think that that is a big step to bring a girl around.

[Noah]

Around his approval.

[Fran]

Right. And then Andy was talking about how touchy he was getting with John.

[Noah]

I have to say, the whole, that whole clip, the. The strangest thing was just sitting on the same side of the table because I'm like, do you. You guys don't do that when you go out, I'm assuming.

[Fran]

Right. It really depends on the table.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I'm thinking like a normal table.

[Fran]

Like a lot of the times it will just be set up that it's across. But sometimes they got those booths that curve, and then you're on the same side because they got those booths that curve, and it's, like, cute. Like my classes.

[Brianne]

They're just sitting at a table for four. Both on one side of the booth.

[Noah]

Yeah. But no one on the other side.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah. That hurts my neck.

[Brianne]

They're both very. I feel like they're both people watchers. Like maybe they're. They like to sit and really observe what's going on in the restaurant and then talk about it.

[Noah]

I could get or Andy just wants to rest his head on.

[Fran]

Yeah. That's what's the nuzzle is headed to John Barrett.

[Brianne]

He's like, john would be a perfect guy.

[Fran]

John's like, listen, Andy, we got to be seen now with Cat now on the street because you put this out there and. Yeah, we gotta. We gotta bring Kat now walking around with us on New York city. In New York city.

[Brianne]

You know, let me tell you, after we saw them in public before, and it was like, oh, you know, maybe John's not gonna like that this out the other thing. He clearly is okay with it because you're not going to theresi thinking you're gonna be laying low, you know, like, you're going to receive knowing you're gonna be spotted and it's gonna be shared everywhere. And it was like, if you're really trying to keep things hush, hush and you don't want people seeing you, that's not the place you're going to for dinner. No.

[Fran]

Theresa's a hot spot.

[Noah]

If you saw that we went there and was like, we should go there.

[Fran]

Yeah. They're just taking all of our recommendations.

[Brianne]

Yes. I'm sure it's his first time ever being in teresi because of us.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

He saw no 3430 list. I was like, oh, cat, we gotta hit this spot.

[Noah]

This looks good.

[Fran]

That picture that Noah took of Ria with her wine. We gotta get there. We can recreate it.

[Brianne]

We can recreate it.

[Fran]

Kat. Yeah.

[Noah]

Wait, that's the table that they sat at over there.

[Brianne]

Oh, my.

[Fran]

I think that's where Noah Ives sat.

[Noah]

Is it true that a fire alarm went off when they were here?

[Fran]

Yeah. Oh, my God. Do you think the fire alarm's gonna go off when we're here? Well, anyways, they, you know, it might be getting serious.

[Brianne]

Things are heating up.

[Fran]

Things are heating up.

[Brianne]

[Fran]

Things are heating up all around because Jennifer Aniston went Instagram official with her boyfriend, the hypnotist.

[Brianne]

Very sweet. We don't really know much about it was his birthday or their their relationship. We just know that they have been together and it was his birthday and she wanted to show him some love, which is, I feel, very fair. Of course, when it's somebody's birthday and you're like, you know what I want to put? I want to put this out there.

[Fran]

Yeah, it's your birthday, babe, and I'm letting everybody know we're hot, we're hard. Launching.

[Brianne]

Yep, it's your birthday and I'm gonna post you on Instagram.

[Fran]

Very sweet. Giving him a little hug from behind.

[Brianne]

Jim Curtis. That's his name. Black and white photo. Happy birthday, my love. Cherished.

[Fran]

That is just simple and classic.

[Brianne]

Exactly.

[Fran]

Tasteful. Very tasteful.

[Noah]

He's a hypnotist, I believe. Imagine I just was making hypnotized her into dating him.

[Brianne]

Yeah, he is a hypnotist.

[Fran]

Well, then, you know, it works. It works. He's. Then he's good at his job, then.

[Brianne]

He got exactly what he.

[Noah]

Has anyone thought about that?

[Brianne]

Yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This guy's a hypnotist.

[Fran]

He's a master hypnotist, transformational coach and author. There's no reason for me to read transformational like that.

[Noah]

He's like, you know what? It's about time we go Instagram official and hypnotizes her into posting this.

[Fran]

Yeah, he's like, post me. I'm kidding. I think that. I think I'm just stuck in Halloween mode.

[Brianne]

He's like, a pretty interesting guy.

[Fran]

Yeah, sorry, that was. That's not how. I know. That's not what hypnotists do. That's not real. That's like, hypnotist. Listen, I don't know what he does, though.

[Brianne]

On a real note, therapist.

[Noah]

Did she tag him or. There's no Instagram.

[Brianne]

I don't know if he has an Instagram.

[Fran]

Well, I found his Instagram. I'm on it right now.

[Brianne]

Oh, there you go.

[Fran]

Jim Curtis. One handsome fella.

[Brianne]

He's a handsome guy.

[Fran]

Handsome fella. And I think it's more just like, probably, like you said, like, hip hypnotist therapy.

[Brianne]

Probably people that are trying to, like, probably quit smoking and shit.

[Fran]

Yeah. Quit smoking, all that. My parents did that when. When I was way younger. It did not work.

[Brianne]

Yeah. He's a hypnotherapist, life coach, and like you said, whatever that other thing was. And he's written books called the Stimulati Experience. What stimuli? Stimulati. Yeah. And Shift Quantum Manifestation Guide, a workbook for coding a new consciousness.

[Fran]

So he manifest. He. I know this is a guy I.

[Brianne]

Enjoy having a conversation with. I'm not gonna lie.

[Fran]

But it seems like a lot to take in.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

At all times.

[Brianne]

Yep.

[Fran]

And it seems like he may be ma. Imagine his whole life he's been manifesting. Jennifer Aniston.

[Noah]

I'm telling you, something's up here.

[Brianne]

He has also served as an executive for the health and wellness websites WebMD, Everyday Health and Health Central, and Holistic Nutrition School, the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. According to his LinkedIn.

[Fran]

I always feel, like, so bad, like, when I click on somebody's Instagram story that don't follow, I'm like, oh, I don't follow them. My name's gonna come up. Like, as if Jim Curtis one cares, you know? Right. It seems like he's the kind of guy that speaks in inspirational quotes all the time, and I feel like that might be Exhausting for us. Jennifer might like it. Yeah.

[Brianne]

I mean, anytime I see like, like anytime I see life coach, that's kind of what I think too.

[Fran]

Right.

[Brianne]

But what if I just want to lay in bed? Makes her happy.

[Fran]

Right. And he's next to me in bed. Like, get up, honey.

[Brianne]

Right.

[Fran]

Chop, chop. Time to manifest the day. Like. All right, all right. Sometimes we just need to chill out, Jim. Yeah, you got to tell Jim to chill out a lot.

[Brianne]

We probably also have the most stereotypical viewpoint of what a life coach is.

[Fran]

1,000%. 1,000%. Because I'm sure. Yeah, listen, I. I know that there are actual some great life coaches out there that people are very inspired by and help a lot of people. I'm not an idiot. I know that. That is very real and it really does help a lot of people who may struggle with all kinds of things. 1,000%.

[Brianne]

But we're like, we're just like, Jennifer Anderson is waking up every morning to this guy going, honey, let's get this bread.

[Fran]

Yeah. Like it's another day. Yeah. That's what we're thinking. When realistically. Yeah, yeah. Probably not the case.

[Brianne]

Seems like a very interesting guy. Very interesting.

[Noah]

I gotta go on a double date with John and Kat.

[Brianne]

Seriously, What.

[Noah]

What a force.

[Fran]

Let me tell you, the most exhausting conversation.

[Brianne]

Nothing like taking your. Going out with your ex is John.

[Fran]

Mayer and like a manifestation life coach. Like, sitting in between the two of them, my brain, I think, would just explode.

[Brianne]

They'd probably really get along.

[Fran]

I'm like, so, what do you guys think about cheese curds? Yeah. You guys got any simple thoughts like this?

[Brianne]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, it's funny. Well, good for. Good for Jen.

[Brianne]

I agree. I just.

[Fran]

And I'm sure he's lovely.

[Brianne]

I just want to see her because.

[Fran]

I don't think Jen would settle with a non Lovely guy. I agree. You know, and handsome at that, so.

[Brianne]

I agree.

[Fran]

Good for the both of them. Last topic. And my God, does this guy seem like. No.

[Brianne]

Good, bad couple weeks for him.

[Fran]

I'm wiping my lips, I'm spitting all over the place. David Harbour. Yeah. Stranger Things. Yep. Also known as Hopper. Maybe you love Stranger Things.

[Brianne]

Also known as Hopper.

[Fran]

That right.

[Brianne]

Yeah, you're right.

[Fran]

You look at me like I'm crazy.

[Brianne]

No, no, no. That just made me laugh.

[Fran]

It's true. He's also known as Hopper.

[Brianne]

I was repeating because I thought it was funny.

[Fran]

Oh, thank you. Well, people may not know him as David Harbour. They know him as Hopper from Stranger Things. You may love him. You may. Oh, My God, Hop. No. Hopper's gonna die. That kind of thing. His ex wife, Lily Allen, put out an album. A lot of these songs are singing. No good about David Harbour.

[Brianne]

No, I'll tell you that. And she basically just wrote it all out via song.

[Fran]

Yeah. She was like, these are the things that talk about this. My asshole ex husband did all right. And then on top of that, Millie Bobby Brown accusing him of bullying and harassment on set of Stranger Things. Not good. Not good. What do you mean? David harbour was bullying 11? What do you mean? Hopper was bullying 11? Well, didn't Hopper save 11? I've never watched Stranger Things.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I know a lot. Somebody who's not watched Stranger Things, I've watched. I know a lot about it.

[Noah]

And to me, you've had plenty of time.

[Fran]

I know I have time. I have tried to watch Stranger Things. It's not for me. I've always wanted to be somebody who loves Stranger Things. So I've watched the full first season.

[Noah]

There's a couple seasons that, like, are better than others.

[Fran]

You know, I. I watched the full first season. When I say didn't watch. I would do watch the full first season, but I did not watch anything after that.

[Noah]

What don't you like about it?

[Fran]

The monsters and stuff. Like, I just. Which valid is. It's a freaky monster. I mean, it's weird coming from somebody who just talked about how much they loved the first two seasons of American Horror Story.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But very different, you know, like American Horror Stories. Like realistic, like, you know.

[Brianne]

Yes.

[Fran]

Real people and shit.

[Noah]

That's scarier to me.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Noah]

If it's real.

[Fran]

Yeah. But. Yeah, it's. I'm not scared.

[Brianne]

Everyone's got their own threshold and their own meaning.

[Fran]

I'm scared. Scared of Stranger Things monsters. I'm unamused by them. No, there are freaky.

[Brianne]

Like this. That fucking flower face thing.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

It's not getting me.

[Fran]

I'm unamused by the. No, I'm kidding. I.

[Brianne]

Those things called.

[Noah]

Do they have a name?

[Brianne]

Yeah, they do. Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Oh, Demogorgon.

[Fran]

I've always wanted to be someone who loves Stranger Things, though, you know?

[Brianne]

Yeah. Well, I will say it's been tough because it's like a show that was so well loved for so long and then it's like, it's been a while. Been a while. And it's dragged out now. We got this whole. Part one, Part two. Each episode's like a movie length. I think some of them are playing in movie theaters. I saw. I mean, it's just Like, a lot. At the end of the day, I'm just a lot.

[Fran]

You're not gonna get me now, but I am pissed to hear about this situation.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I'm very pissed to hear that a guy that was supposed to be like, her dad, eleven's dad, is bullying her on set. What do you mean he's bullying her? Yeah. Why? That's so weird to me. That's so bizarre.

[Brianne]

I know. Well, let's start with the Lily Allen thing because I think everyone was like, shit, you know, they. They had been married, they'd split up. We didn't really have too many details of the split. And then Lily Allen puts this album out and it's like, okay. She is detailing everything. They. Everyone was shocked by really what all the lyrics in this Rainy Fair article says. The 14 track project tells the tale of the split in chronological order, beginning with Alan and Harbour moving to New York with her daughters from her previous marriage. And they moved into this, you know, brownstone, which they had shown in an Architectural Digest spread, which I remember looking at, because I was like, wow, what an interesting place. But there are lyrics like, I've become invisible Stuck here in my palace I'm so fucking miserable in my rabbit hole yeah, I'm Alice. Recorded in just 10 days following their 2024 split. She said it was a way of processing what was happening in her life. It's during this period that she also was doing. Working on the West End at the same time. But there are some really, like, detailing how they opened. I believe they opened their marriage because he wanted to. And then I think they had some ground rules of what that would look like. But then he was, like, doing some gross shit, I think. And wherever he had, like, his own secret bachelor pad that he was.

[Fran]

That's never good, ladies.

[Brianne]

There.

[Fran]

No, that's never good.

[Brianne]

And I think he was also really, like, deranged and. What's the right word I wanted to use? Like, would talk down on her. Like, really wanted to knock her down, you know, sending. Very condescending.

[Fran]

Seems very his M.O.

[Brianne]

Huh? Yeah. These lyrics. Okay, so there's. She's saying that's when your demeanor started to change. Talking about a certain point in their time. You said that I'd have to audition. I said, you're deranged. I thought. I thought that was quite strange. Talking about getting different roles. Yeah. These lyrics led listeners to recirculate the note that David Harbour wrote Alan ahead of her West End debut, which read, My ambitious wife. These are bad luck flowers. Because if you get reviewed. Well, in this play, you will get all kinds of awards and I'll be miserable. Your loving husband.

[Fran]

Jesus Christ.

[Brianne]

Everyone was like, we probably should have saw that as a weird thing.

[Fran]

What a fucking asshole.

[Brianne]

Yeah, I know. I know.

[Fran]

That is so insane.

[Brianne]

I know.

[Fran]

It's so deranged.

[Brianne]

He was sleeping with a bunch of other people. He shoot lyrics. We had an arrangement. Be discreet and don't be blatant. There had to be payment. It had to be with strangers. But you're not a stranger, Madeline. And then she dressed up as Madeline for Halloween, by the way, Madeline.

[Fran]

I am.

[Brianne]

Yeah. Did you see that? She was like, no, I didn't. Yeah, she dressed up as. And then this was a song. Yeah.

[Fran]

This guy's a real piece of work. Mm.

[Brianne]

Yeah. Some of the most pointed accusations arrive in the song Pussy palace, in which Allen sings about taking some of her partner's things at the couple's West Village apartment where her husband stayed for a period. While there, she discovered a plastic Duane read bag with the handles tied. Sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside. Upon finding Pandora's box, Allen wonders aloud, am I looking at a sex addict? Why are we here talking about vasectomies? Did you get someone pregnant? Someone who isn't me? Did you take it to the clinic? Did you hold her hand? Is she having her babies? On the same song she sings? Look at my reflection I feel so drawn, so old I booked myself a faceless facelift Wondering how long it might.

[Fran]

Hold well, I feel sorry for her.

[Brianne]

I know.

[Fran]

Having to deal with this piece of.

[Brianne]

Yeah, I know.

[Fran]

Right?

[Noah]

Just that the phrase that phrasing this piece of.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

It didn't come out right.

[Brianne]

Right. You're just missing.

[Fran]

But that's a piece of. You know. You got it.

[Brianne]

I know.

[Fran]

He's fast.

[Brianne]

He's a full.

[Fran]

Not just he's a full of. He's a full.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So he's a large.

[Brianne]

So whatever this comes. And David Harbour's, like, made one is like, oh, I made mistakes in my marriage. It's like, okay, you're just a loser.

[Fran]

You're just a bad person, though, at the end, like, I don't care. Oh, I made some mistakes. Like doing it over and over again isn't a mistake. Like, this is you as a person. Really?

[Brianne]

There could have been nothing else besides the fact that that note was written to her after. I would have been like, what a jerk.

[Fran]

No, I would be like, what a fucking dickhead piece of asshole.

[Brianne]

And so now, on top of that, the Daily Mail has Reported that.

[Fran]

I mean, that is so devious. It is to, like, be upset about your wife's success. Accolades. Yeah. Like, that is so devious.

[Brianne]

Like, I hope, like, I hope you do well, but I also hope you don't.

[Fran]

I hope you fail because I'll be.

[Brianne]

Jealous, so you're gonna be too busy for me.

[Fran]

Like, bro, you got stranger things fame. Can't you be happy with that?

[Brianne]

You know what's funny is, like, I.

[Fran]

Know because he's bullying 11 for being more popular than him.

[Brianne]

I've never. I've never met him or seen him, whatever. But, like, it's funny because I. I felt like. Like a personal level of disappointment because I saw him walking on the street in New York one time. Like, I was like, oh, that guy.

[Fran]

Walking around our streets.

[Brianne]

He's a bad guy. Yeah, yeah. Walking to work one day, I saw.

[Fran]

Him and I was like saying, like, I can't believe he's walking around on our streets.

[Brianne]

I know. So built. Millie Bobby Brown filed a lengthy complaint against co star David Harbour ahead of the filming of the show's fifth season, the Daily Mail reported. It was said to have included pages and pages of accusations. The news was exclusively reported Saturday by the Daily Mail. A person acknowledged the situation, told the Mail Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting. The last season investigation went on for months. He reportedly faced an internal inquiry, the outcome of which is unknown. The male said none of the complaints were of a sexual nature, but now they are gearing up for the release of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. Stranger Things, along with the rest of the cast. And obviously these accusations come days after Lily Allen released her last album. And that's really all we know. Like, we don't. There's no details of what was included in those complaints, but that it was lengthy and pages and pages of accusations of him being a bad guy. Harassment and bullying, which is just.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

Like, you just think, like, it's like, what were you just picking on all these little kids?

[Fran]

Right. Like, what are you doing picking on 11?

[Brianne]

Not a lot of adults in that cast.

[Fran]

No time. So you're just like. You're just stomping around on people.

[Brianne]

Unless he's just being an absolute to Winona Ryder, which maybe he was, I'm sure. Yeah.

[Fran]

Sounds like. It sounds like he's just a.

[Brianne]

Sounds like grumpy. You know, when you just come across. Guys are just grumpy, but also. And then it makes weird. Yeah.

[Fran]

As well.

[Brianne]

Right.

[Fran]

Like not just a grumpy asshole. There's a difference. Because, like, grumpy, weird.

[Brianne]

Right, right, right.

[Fran]

Creepy.

[Brianne]

Because Hopper had that. Hopper as a character had that. Where it was like, oh, grumpy, lovable guy and harmless.

[Fran]

Like Hugh Grant.

[Brianne]

Yeah, Grumpy. Not lovable. Grumpy, jerk.

[Fran]

Grumpy jerk who cheater mean to his.

[Brianne]

Wife and everyone around him.

[Fran]

Right. Who also has some weird sex palace happening. Yeah, exactly.

[Brianne]

In the West Village.

[Fran]

There's some demons in there. Not good on these streets. Disgusting.

[Brianne]

Not good. You know what? I'm glad Lily Allen was able to get it all out. And I hope this is a beautiful resurgence of Lily Allen, because it sounds like she was really being put down by her husband for a while.

[Fran]

Yes. And we do not support that. We don't. And sounds like we don't support David Harbour as a whole. No, not at all.

[Brianne]

No, no, no. I will not be happy if I see him walking around the streets.

[Fran]

Nope, Nope.

[Brianne]

That's for sure.

[Fran]

And what? You know, if you're a Stranger Things.

[Brianne]

Fan, watching this last season, seriously poor timing for them. Netflix must be pissed off. Like, clearly, Netflix tried to keep this.

[Fran]

Didn't they almost do that?

[Brianne]

Which is also bad.

[Fran]

Didn't they?

[Noah]

Like, was everyone almost dies in the show.

[Brianne]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

Wasn't he, like, dead and then he came back?

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't even remember what happened.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brianne]

So I don't know. That's a tough one.

[Fran]

And of course.

[Brianne]

Right, Exactly. Exactly. And I think, like, there's definitely some cover up there. I'm sure Netflix didn't want this coming out. And that's not good, too, because it's.

[Fran]

Like, why are we don't protect.

[Brianne]

What's this guy doing? Yeah, let's not protect this guy. Exactly.

[Fran]

Shit. Piece of asshole. All right, that wraps up the topics. The only thing we love as much as you guys, our lovely listeners, are delicious cocktails.

All right, let's get into the weekly Watch Report, where we talk about the things we watch this week. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. So I watched a classic this weekend for the first time ever.

[Brianne]

Can I take a guess?

[Fran]

Sure.

[Brianne]

Was it Halloween themed?

[Fran]

Nope.

[Brianne]

Oh, shit. I thought maybe we watched the same movie and I was gonna be like, that's so weird.

[Noah]

Give a hint.

[Brianne]

It wasn't. So now I want to.

[Fran]

Okay, I'll give a hint. Okay. Which way do I want to go about this? It involves football.

[Brianne]

Ooh, Friday Night Lights.

[Fran]

No.

[Noah]

Remember the Titans?

[Fran]

Maybe it's not a classic. I don't know, but I remember the Titans.

[Noah]

Any given Sunday.

[Fran]

Nope. Okay, hindsight. Nope. Maybe it has less. It has to do with football. It does.

[Noah]

It has to do. Like, is it about.

[Brianne]

Is football the main thing?

[Fran]

That depends what you. Yeah, it is. Football is the main thing, but it's a different kind of football.

[Brianne]

Is it like an old movie or like a 2000s movie? Longest yard.

[Fran]

Yes, it is. Longest Yard.

[Noah]

That was Adam Sandler one.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Longest Yard. A classic.

[Brianne]

One a classic.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

Very funny.

[Fran]

Incredible movie.

[Brianne]

Underrated. Adam Sandler movie, I think.

[Fran]

Underrated. I think it's properly rated. No.

[Brianne]

You think.

[Fran]

People talk about it, don't they?

[Brianne]

I feel like as far as movies go, like, that's not. People don't like.

[Fran]

Well, I gotta be honest. Yard first, I didn't even know Adam Sandler was in it. Oh. And like, when I heard about the one when I would think the Longest.

[Noah]

Yard has around tomatoes.

[Fran]

What, like a 6, 20, 31? It's not so bad. Well, that's a shame, because it's an a. That's an A movie. It's a great movie, let me tell you.

[Brianne]

Funny, hilarious.

[Fran]

Chris Rock, incredible. Nelly, incredible. Adam Sandler, incredible. All of them really. So good. I just kept talking about how amazing Chris Rock was in this movie.

[Noah]

Rip.

[Fran]

Just for. Yeah, RIP in the movie.

[Brianne]

Oh, oh, oh.

[Noah]

Tragic death in the movie.

[Fran]

Just for Matt to be holding. Every time I kept saying Mike, I was like, what? No.

[Noah]

Yeah. No. Chris Rock is.

[Fran]

That would be insane to just throw that out there. I'm sorry. More than alive. No, but I would be like, oh, my God, Chris Rock is so good in this movie. Oh, my God, Chris Rock. I love his character. And Matt just wouldn't say anything.

[Brianne]

Right, right.

[Fran]

Right. I was like, does he not agree? And then all of a sudden, it happens, and I'm fucking devastated. I'm like, are you serious?

[Brianne]

I was not expecting this at all.

[Fran]

I wasn't expecting that at all. I didn't know someone was gonna tragically die in this movie. That's not what I was expecting.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But it was an amazing movie, in my opinion. And I was getting fired up. I hated the guards so much. I was, like, losing my mind. I was just losing my mind watching this movie. But just amazing. And I love Nelly. Like, I just was so happy to see, like, Nelly was just so good in this movie. And Adam Sandler was so good. And it was just an a. It was an a movie. Love it. Chad Powers finale.

[Brianne]

Wait, that was the finale?

[Fran]

Yes.

[Noah]

Wait, don't.

[Fran]

Wait.

[Brianne]

What? You're telling me that's a finale?

[Fran]

That was the finale?

[Brianne]

I'm so sad.

[Fran]

I know.

[Brianne]

Wait, Joe. I, like, argued with Joe for, like, 20 minutes after the episode ended. He was like, that was the last one, right? I went, no. I said, there's at least two more.

[Fran]

That's the finale.

[Brianne]

Six episodes.

[Fran]

Yeah. Oh, my God.

[Brianne]

I can't believe you just broke that news to me. I was so looking forward to tomorrow. I was like, new episode of Chad Powers. What's gonna happen at the Georgia game?

[Fran]

Nope, he didn't.

[Brianne]

Well, that's doesn't give anything away.

[Noah]

Oh, no, I don't. I don't know what you're saying, but, yeah, I'm foreign.

[Fran]

Oh, okay.

[Noah]

I'm foreign.

[Fran]

So you're. You're. You're Two episodes. You got two episodes. Damn.

[Brianne]

We really can't talk about anything that'd be really happening.

[Noah]

Maybe she want me to leave.

[Brianne]

No, no, no, no.

[Fran]

It's okay. It's okay. Just finished by tonight.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

What the fuck? I know.

[Noah]

Really good, though. I like it.

[Fran]

Really good idea.

[Brianne]

They have to make a second season.

[Fran]

They have to. They have to make a second season because we need to know what happens.

[Brianne]

We. I'm kind of like. I'm kind of mad that they ended it that way, though, because it's like, it's not. It's never a guarantee to get a second season.

[Fran]

I said the same exact thing to Matt.

[Brianne]

And that's like a cocky way to end.

[Fran]

Let me tell you.

[Brianne]

You know, that's a cocky way to end a season. If you don't know you're the first season, you're gonna end it like that. You don't know if you're gonna get a second season.

[Fran]

Well, I said that. And then Matt was like, well, maybe that's why they did it. There's more of a reason to have a second season if you wrap it up with a nice bow. Right. Maybe it's not. The demand's not there, whatever. But now the demand's gonna be there because people are gonna be like, I want to know what fucking happens next.

[Brianne]

To be honest, I didn't see this as a multiple season show in general. Like, I just thought it was gonna be. I thought it was gonna be a one go, eight episodes.

[Fran]

No, I do believe there's a second season.

[Brianne]

I mean, it's just a show that they. I mean, I would assume that you have to make a second season of.

[Fran]

If you end it that way, you have to.

[Brianne]

Now Hulu's got no choice. It's not. I just looked it up. It's not 100% confirmed or anything, but sometimes it doesn't happen right away. It rarely actually happens right away.

[Fran]

No, but they should know that the demand is there and we need the second season because we know what happens. Yeah, I'll give it a. I'm blown away. I'll give it an A minus, though, just for the. The fact that I'm upset that I don't know what happens. But it's really good.

[Brianne]

Wait until I tell Joe that that was the finale.

[Fran]

He.

[Brianne]

We got into, like an argument. He was like, I think that's the finale. I'm like, there's no way. I promise you it's not. Yeah, I just didn't even look it up. Like, I was just confident that it wasn't the finale.

[Fran]

No, it's a finale. Shit. Yeah, okay, I'll give that an A minus. Kardashians. Just watching. Just, you know, whatever. Yeah, that's a safe whatever.

[Brianne]

What's. What's like, why are we still. I mean, I guess it's what is going on in their real life. But I didn't even watch this episode. I've just saw clips and stuff. I'm just, like, kind of tired of Courtney's whole thing of, like, here, Courtney, please.

[Fran]

Like, the. I'm better than everybody. I don't talk about anybody. I'm positive. I'm this something.

[Brianne]

I don't gossip. I don't get candy.

[Fran]

Like, and it's like, are you even living.

[Brianne]

Are you.

[Fran]

Are you a living, breathing human being if you're not doing any of those things? You know, Chloe, she's like, I am a positive person. But, yeah, I'm talking shit. Like, you know that. That's normal. You could be both.

[Brianne]

Totally.

[Fran]

You could be both. So I'm always probably gonna side with Khloe on those things. I agree. Can Courtney not want to live the life that her sisters do? Absolutely. Like, that's. That's totally fair. It's just the way she goes about and the way she says things. I think it just might be her tone sometimes. I watched the first episode of I Love la. There's only one episode out. Came out last night on hbo and.

[Brianne]

Oh, is that the. Rachel's not.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Brianne]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Fran]

I will give it a B minus. I liked it, but I'm not. I'm not like, oh, my God, it's the best. You know, I like the premise of it and I'll give it a B minus. I'm very excited for the rest of the season. I think the characters are funny. It's very like, LA satire, you know, it's very over the top. Leight Meester's in it. Lee Meester's great. You know what I mean? It's just like over the top personalities. Very la. But I like it. Dancing with Stars, you know, this was a tough one. We said goodbye to Jen.

[Brianne]

Yep.

[Fran]

And I feel bad for her. I feel bad for her this season. I feel like it was not great for her to be on the same season as Whitney. Yeah. I feel like she got paired with a new pro that's been hit with criticism. I feel like there was a lot of factors that went into this and she was. She was sent home. And I do feel. And, you know, maybe she wasn't the best, but she wasn't the worst. No. And I feel bad that she was sent home.

[Brianne]

Yeah. I do agree. I think that a lot of this, looking at it now and the stories that are coming out, it has felt a little manufactured in the fact that, like, now there's reports that Whitney and Jen have been fighting on the show on Mormon Wives. So it's like, realistically, I'm sure.

[Fran]

Under.

[Brianne]

The broad Disney umbrella, they all knew putting Whitney and Jen on the same season would be good for Dancing with the Stars, but it would also be good for Mormon Wives. And we're gonna see it all play out on Mormon Wives when that season comes out. Especially it felt like this week with Whitney kind of talking about doing this show and then obviously still filming Mormon Wives and what that's been like, taking a toll on her, which makes me think there's drama with her with the rest of the cast of Mormon Wives. And, you know, the whole thing is a giant Disney reality TV bubble. But, yeah, there's been a lot of drama. I mean, we've had comments from old pros, specifically Mac, who is Val's brother and was on the show for a very long time, talking about Jan and maybe his inexperience and all these things. And then everyone's buddy, everybody's being asked about it. Jan, Val, Jenna. Everyone's being asked to comment on it. Max is on Instagram. He makes a whole apology video. It's just like a lot is being discussed, a lot of drama behind the scenes. But this is what's happening is what we talked about weeks ago when we said. When we said after Scott went home, we were like, we know what's. What's going to go down here. And he's very lovable. We got him. He's going to make it. Scott was going to go home, and then we said, jen's going to be next. And then it's going to be a problem because if Andy stays over someone like Danielle or maybe Dylan or whatever, it's going to be way crazier within the fandom.

[Fran]

And.

[Brianne]

That'S where we're at. That's where we're at this week. It's rock and Roll night. What will happen? We don't know. But all we do know is that a lot of paso doubles will be happening with the other cast members. But Andy will be dancing in contemporary to God Only Knows by the Beach Boys. And I said, there's collusion. I said, what. What production knows what they're doing with this one? They know what they're picking. It's like they. Obviously, they're rooting for chaos, but once again, we're getting ourselves into a Bobby Bones type territory where Bobby Bones won his season. And then Dancing with the Stars was in legit shambles after that, and they have all the momentum in the world right now. Everybody's watching Dancing with the Stars. I just. They're gonna. They're gonna keep Andy in it because I know all the Andy fans are gonna watch him dance this contemporary. It's gonna be so sweet. He's gonna remind everybody.

[Fran]

Love. Actually.

[Brianne]

He's gonna be God only notes. God only knows what I be without you. It's a beautiful song. And they're gonna have this sweet moment and everyone's gonna be rooting for him.

[Fran]

And they're roped in yet again, and.

[Brianne]

They'Re gonna be roped in once again, and he's gonna be safe, and it's gonna cause chaos.

[Noah]

I'll be voting for him. My first vote of the year for Andy? Yeah.

[Fran]

Why?

[Noah]

Because I like him.

[Brianne]

Okay.

[Fran]

Why are you choosing to do this right now? I have a question. Why? Why did you just choose to do that?

[Brianne]

I don't know why you wanted to upset us like that.

[Noah]

No, I'm just saying, like, I'll be voting for him. That's a great song too.

[Fran]

Are you watching? But you're not even watching or you just.

[Noah]

No, I'll be. But I'll be tuning in this. This time.

[Fran]

But what if you like somebody else? What do you think? Somebody else a better dancer, but you're.

[Brianne]

Just voting for him even though you know he's not the best dancer at all. Nowhere close.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

Everybody else smiles better than him.

[Noah]

I'm aware of that. But I'm just voting for who I like. Like, I like Andy Richter. I think his TikToks are really funny.

[Brianne]

It's like we're. He does this. It's like we stare our op right in the face.

[Fran]

Our.

[Brianne]

He's our biggest op.

[Fran]

Felt like a direct attack.

[Brianne]

It did. It's like I. I think he's doing a bit. I can't tell.

[Fran]

I think so, too.

[Brianne]

I think he's doing a bit where it's like, I'm now going to be Andy's biggest fan.

[Fran]

I think so too. I think this is a bit.

[Brianne]

Because we predicted that he's. Yeah.

[Fran]

This feels.

[Noah]

No, it's not a bit.

[Brianne]

This feels like. No, I mean, it's.

[Noah]

It is a bit.

[Fran]

Girls, can you confirm? Is this a bit? It is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ok, wait.

[Noah]

But they don't.

[Brianne]

He had this whole plan.

[Noah]

It's just like, funny. But I am, I am going to vote for him. I'm not kidding. Like, you think I'm going to secretly vote for.

[Brianne]

Enjoy.

[Noah]

I mean, I like Robert, but, you know.

[Brianne]

Anyways, this is the problem. This is the problem. There's a lot of Noah's out there right now.

[Fran]

I can't believe you just had like, had a direct attack.

[Brianne]

Yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

Your faces were so funny.

[Brianne]

Yeah. I mean, look, this is what we're dealing with. We're dealing with a lot of Noah's right now because they're all going to be voting for him. They are.

[Noah]

Here's the thing. I also would like Whitney to win because I'm kind of for anyone who. Where there's a large group of people being like, they shouldn't win.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I'm like, I'll vote for them.

[Brianne]

Whitney's getting a. Whitney's at the bottom of the barrel. I would Say as far as like, people are like, no, she's really good, but she's lost a lot of the.

[Fran]

She has lost a lot of people.

[Brianne]

A lot of people.

[Fran]

I mean, here's the thing.

[Noah]

She's a dancer.

[Brianne]

Well, there's that. And then also I think the, the giveaway thing really rubbed.

[Fran]

This isn't her fault. But Alex Earl should have won the monster thon.

[Brianne]

Yeah, they. That hurt her for sure. Alex Earl should have won that 100%.

[Fran]

Or Jordan Ezra should have made it over Whitney and Mark in the first place too.

[Brianne]

Yep.

[Fran]

In my opinion, it should have been Jordan, Ezra and Alex. And yeah.

[Noah]

Has Andy made progress from the very beginning?

[Brianne]

Yes, he's definitely improved. But like, there's no like who is realistically, he's now getting sevens. They should still be like fives.

[Noah]

I'd say, like, I guess, like he.

[Brianne]

Should have been getting fours at the beginning.

[Noah]

Who do you think is impressive and.

[Brianne]

Like, maybe he's now improved to a six.

[Noah]

Who has improved as a dancer more since the beginning?

[Fran]

I think Alex Earl has improved a lot.

[Brianne]

I think Alex has improved a lot of all them.

[Fran]

Genuinely. I think Alex Earl should win the show.

[Brianne]

I think Jordan has improved a lot.

[Fran]

Me too.

[Noah]

Best dancer. Is it like who has come the longest way or the show is not.

[Brianne]

Dancing with the most improved star? That is not. That's not like. I know that's how people like to go. No, we like to. We like to pick who's improved the most, which is fair. You can root for that.

[Fran]

But.

[Brianne]

But, but if you still have to improve to be the best.

[Noah]

But if you're looking at it that way, then, then the actual having the experience does come in to as a huge factor then. Because then if you're a really good dancer, no one can catch up to you.

[Brianne]

That's the show. It's always been the show.

[Noah]

Why even do the dances then?

[Brianne]

We know some people do improve to be the best dancer. Like Joey did not start off as the best dancer on his season and there were people who were Dan who had dance experience and he made it to the end and improved enough to win Joey. Andy will never. Andy will never be better than Alex Earl. Yeah, like, that's just not happening.

[Fran]

No.

[Brianne]

Or Robert or Jordan. Like a lot of them. He will never be better than them.

[Fran]

Sorry.

[Brianne]

He could keep improving and he is, but he will never be better than they are. So it's. It's. If you approve to be better than the other dancers. That's amazing. Then you win.

[Noah]

So if Andy wins, you there Won't be like, any out to you. That's, like, good for Andy?

[Brianne]

Like, not really. I mean, sure, I'll be happy for him as a person. Like, what an amazing opportunity and moment for him. But, like.

[Fran]

I would be like, wow.

[Brianne]

If it's a real buzzkill for the show, I feel bad for all the other actually good dancers.

[Fran]

Yeah. I'd be like, oh, Andy has a strong fan base. That's. I'm very happy for him. But I wouldn't be like, Andy, great dancer. Yeah.

[Brianne]

Like, I would.

[Fran]

A different kind of happiness.

[Brianne]

It would suck to me that Alex Earl would have to go on and be like, yeah, I lost to Andy Richter in the Dancing with the Stars finale.

[Fran]

Alex Earl. I think it would be like, wow, Alex Earl. She got. She got better at dancing. She got better creatively. Like, I think that there's a lot of Robert Irwin, like, you know, same thing, Jordan, same thing. You know, But Andy would be like, you know what? Good for him. He's got a really strong fan base.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So.

[Brianne]

And by the way, I do think, like, Whitney, is this a bit.

[Fran]

You're gonna continue?

[Noah]

No, no, no.

[Brianne]

I do think, like, I do. Whitney is really good, but I don't think Whitney has a chance to win it all. Like, I don't think Whitney will get people's final votes.

[Noah]

I don't think it's like, Robert, Alex, or.

[Brianne]

I see. You think Whitney might be sent home before the finale. I don't know if she'll make it. I think, like, maybe semifinals.

[Fran]

I genuinely think that the three. The top three are gonna be Andy, Robert, and Alec.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Noah]

It's so funny. Like. Like, honestly, that's bringing me in. That's bringing me in. So it's bringing in a new audience. Like, I wouldn't have watched it if Andy Richter, like, I'm gonna watch because it's actually like, will Andy win? I like. I like that.

[Brianne]

It's like, I don't want you. I don't want that in my Dancing with the Stars world. Like, don't come into my world and fuck it up like that.

[Noah]

Oh.

[Brianne]

It'S like you've infiltrated Dancing with the Stars fandom that I have had for decades.

[Noah]

I'm gonna buy, like, 20 phones tonight.

[Brianne]

Oh, God. Anyway, let's talk about. Let's talk about something else. Dancing with Stars. It was a great. It was a great episode. Halloween night was fun. Alex. I mean, Alex Earl dominated the entire night. In my mind.

[Fran]

I agree.

[Brianne]

Her Halloween dance was also insane.

[Fran]

I think it was so good.

[Brianne]

I thought that was so good.

[Fran]

Really, really good stuff.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I watched Selling Sunset and I gotta give that show a D. I mean, I only watched the first episode.

[Brianne]

I didn't even know a new season came out.

[Fran]

I watched the first episode and that is a D. I don't know if I'll be continuing. It's just. It's so fucking fake. I can't. I don't know. Like, I put it on to see the nice houses and stuff, but Bri became so unlikable to me after watching that inside Netflix show that I just was like, all around. I'm giving it a date. Yeah. And I believe that is everything I watched. Everybody.

It was an a episode in my mind knowing that there was like, thinking there was two more.

[Fran]

I'm gonna text Joe in our group chat right now and tell him that now that Chad Powers finale.

[Brianne]

Well, sticky Jol, like, didn't really like this show. Oh, not that he didn't like it, but he's just like, you know, he's got this whole, like, Glenn Powell bit. Like, oh, here's Glenn Powell being funny and hot again.

[Fran]

Wait, my dad on FaceTime, we were. I was like, you should watch Chad Powers. He was like, let me tell you, Glenn Powell is the hottest guy right now. And I. And I'm like, he's. And he keeps going. He's like, he's so hot right now. And he was like, wait, no, I'm talking about. He's in everything. I wasn't talking about physically. He is a good looking guy. He is a good looking guy.

[Brianne]

No, you know like how everyone's making that Justin Herbert joke right now of like, oh, I'm Justin Herbert. I'm so high. Great at football and I'm dating Madison Beer basketballs. Yeah. Like, and I have it all. Like, Joe's been doing that with Glenn Powell for this entire last year.

[Fran]

So handsome and funny.

[Brianne]

Yeah, he really is. Is. He really is. And knowing that that's the finale, like it's gonna be an 8 minus because it was still a great episode. But like, my God, did they leave us on a massive cliffhanger that I wasn't aware it was a massive cliffhanger. I felt comfort that I was gonna find out what happened in. In an episode that just didn't exist. Dancing with the Stars. I will give Dancing with the Stars I thought was. It was an A. Thought. It was a really good episode.

[Fran]

Oh, I'll give it an A as well. Tag me onto that. I will.

[Brianne]

What else did I watch? I watched all of the Chicago's this week because I after being in Chicago, it was the first thing I wanted to watch when I got home. And you know what? Thank you to all the really kind listeners who DM'd me saying that they were filming Chicago Fire in near their office while we were in Chicago. I was not able to find them, but I did appreciate people letting me know that it's a B across the board for all the Chicago's this week. Felt like they were all pretty on par with each other. I'm behind on Salt Lake City, which I'm sad about because I've heard everybody hyping up about this first episode of them on the yacht, which I'm really excited to catch up on. And I got a bunch to catch up on. Really? Like selling Sunset. I haven't watched. Nobody wants this. I didn't finish. You didn't finish?

[Fran]

I got.

[Brianne]

I know, like, I know you said you enjoyed it, but it's crazy how many people online I've seen complaining about it that they. I didn't like it.

[Fran]

Joe's text about Chad Bowers. I'm not gonna read it. You weren't wrong.

[Brianne]

Yeah, no, I knew exactly what he was gonna say and I watched on Friday. I Watched Practical Magic, which I had never seen before. It was Halloween. I wanted to put on something. Halloween. Never seen it.

[Fran]

I want to go back to Nobody wants us for a second.

[Brianne]

Oh, yeah.

[Fran]

Are you not doing it?

[Brianne]

Because I will. I will, I will. I just haven't had the time, but I will.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Noah]

My grandma was raving about it.

[Fran]

Listen, I. I thought it was cute, funny. Like, I. I think people really hated it.

[Brianne]

I know they really, like, I see people on TikTok like, they had no chemistry. The girls were brutal to watch. Like, I don't know. I thought. I don't know. I. I will be making my own opinion when I watch it. Did I think that they.

[Fran]

As a. Like, as I'm watching the show, I'm like, oh, these two, they probably just shouldn't pay together. You know what I mean? Fair.

[Brianne]

Fair.

[Fran]

You know?

[Brianne]

Yeah. Right.

[Fran]

But I'm still entertained. Like, the siblings are the funniest part to me.

[Brianne]

Yeah. Like Chris and Bell.

[Fran]

And Chris and Bell's sister. Yeah. Yeah. And Adam Brody's brother, Justine. Yeah. Are very funny.

[Brianne]

Yeah. Okay. So. Oh, Practical Magic. I thought it was so cute. I've never seen it. I don't know why. It was, like, never one that I watched growing up. I actually saw Gia watch it, like, last week, and she was, like, watching Practical Magic for the first time, and I was like, oh, wow. That's something I haven't seen either. So I put it out on Friday. Loved it. Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman. Great movie.

[Fran]

Mm.

[Brianne]

It's very true. I thought it was a B.

[Fran]

Nice.

[Brianne]

I really liked it and was one that I felt like I could continue watching on Halloween's to come.

[Fran]

Yes, very true. And.

[Brianne]

I'm up to date on Special Forces. It's a C. It's solid. I enjoy watching it. I always watch Special Forces like you. I just think it's an intense show, and it's always crazy when I. What I see these people do. I was sad for the Deckers this episode because Eric got hurt, which was tough.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

And I think that's. I think that's everything I watched, honestly. Oh, the Love Is Blind reunion. I'll give a baby. Reunion's always good. Obviously, with the big reveal of Sparkle, Meg had a baby, which is just so crazy to me that there was enough time for her to have a child. Have a baby. In between filming the season and the reunion, and her baby daddy was in the audience. It was the guy in the pictures. So obviously not her brother.

[Fran]

Not her brother in law.

[Brianne]

Obviously not her brother in law. But it was that guy, and he was there. And a lot of people with, you know, new relationships, like, Joe has a new girlfriend, or probably not even that new at this point. And there was some back and forth with the ring between Casey and Patrick Casey. Not my.

[Fran]

It's a no for me.

[Brianne]

Not my cup of tea. Yeah. Not my type of girl, you know? And really, that's it. Chris Paul had a big moment, which, random as a surprise to all, when Nickel Shea was like, all right, everybody get up, because NBA All Star Chris Paul is here. And they did a little basketball competition. It was really nuts to me. So that happened. But once again, the reunion is always so tough at this point, a year plus later, because all these people have fucking moved on with their lives. Like, the drama's not the same. They're not as pissed off as they were when things happen. They were like, oh, yeah, this happened. And then this person dated this person, and this person dated this person. But, like, it's over now, so what's there to really talk about? It's like, that was all the past. It happened months and months and months ago.

[Fran]

Right. When that. When this much time has passed, like, all the drama kind of falls down.

[Brianne]

None of these couples worked out for a reason. Yeah. So we had not a single. There was no, like, oh, cute montage of people together hiding their relationship. None of the couples worked out. So did I give it a grade? No.

[Fran]

No. See, I watched the Vassar Raven Halloween episode on Friday night. I just want to say that it is really a classic, and it still holds up. The don't have a Cow episode. We put it on, and we said, is this gonna hold up? Is it actually. Is it gonna be funny? It was. That's an A. Yeah, that is an A. And I watched a lot of the Halloween Baking Championship and some, like, Food Network Halloween episodes. I can't tell you every single one that I watch, but just an A as a whole. Like, those Food episodes. They're gonna get me. Yeah, they're gonna get me. So I wanted to add that on because I forgot.

[Brianne]

Joe and I started task. We watched episode one. Really good. Yeah, Very long first episode, though. Like, we were watching it late one night, Saturday. When did we put it on? I don't know, but we put it on one night where we were like, oh, my God, how much longer is this episode? It's like, over an hour. Anything over an hour. I'm like, oh, my God. But really, very good. And I'm very intrigued, Very intrigued by Mark Ruffalo's. Whole backstory character, because, my God, have. Have I never been introduced to a more complex character in a first episode than I think Mark Ruffalo is in this? You're like, wait a second. That's like. He's got children, but he's in the FBI. But he was a priest.

[Fran]

What?

[Brianne]

But now he's an FBI agent, and he has a kid that's in jail.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

There's a lot of twists and turns.

[Noah]

I saw a lot of people being him for Halloween. Like, his gut out.

[Brianne]

I had to. Yeah. I had to rewind some of the parts because I was like, wait a second.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

Did you just say he was a priest? A lot going on in the real twist. Yeah, but. But it seems like it's gonna be great from the first episode. I'll give it first episode. I'll give a B plus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought it was very solid, and I think I forget what his name is. The guy that's married to Kaley Cuoco, and he was also in Ozark married to Kaylee Cuoco.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

He's the main guy who's not Mark Ruffalo.

[Noah]

Oh. Oh, yeah. I know who you're talking about. I don't know his name either. They're not still married, are they?

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Oh, Tom Pelfrey.

[Brianne]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brianne]

Yep.

[Noah]

He's really good. Yeah, yeah.

[Brianne]

Very good.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Brianne]

The first episode ended, and Joe and I went, what? So I'm very excited to see how it continues.

[Fran]

Yeah. Okay, then.

[Brianne]

Yep. Yep. So that's everything I watched.

[Noah]

I don't have much. I watched the episode five of the Murdoch show.

[Brianne]

Oh, shit. I want to watch that too.

[Noah]

That's a good show. And like I said last week, I'm purposely not trying to refresh my memory on, like, the details of the story so that each episode I'm, like, finding out.

[Fran]

So, like, a little surprise for you.

[Noah]

Yeah. But crazy like it is, it's like I have to remind myself of this. This is a true story. Because it seems so ridiculous. Yeah, I'll give that a B. And then I watched four episodes of Chad Powers. The first four. And very good. I don't know what I was expecting. I have to be honest. Like, seeing all the promo, even, like, making the graphics for when you talk about it, I was kind of like, why does he look so ugly in this picture? But then he is normal in this picture? Like, I wasn't like, I didn't know what the show was about at all.

[Brianne]

I gotcha.

[Noah]

And now I do.

[Brianne]

You know, that must have been very confusing.

[Noah]

No, I was. I was like, wait, what?

[Brianne]

Like, why does it look like he has prosthetics on in this picture?

[Fran]

Wait, am I choosing bad pictures? And now, like, what's that?

[Noah]

That's when he did that whole spread. That makes a lot more sense. When he did that. Like, when that came out, I was like, what is this?

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brianne]

That's the difference between Russ Holiday and Chad Bowers.

[Noah]

Yeah, I think it's really good. Like, I. I was actually fully chuckling at some point.

[Fran]

It was very, very funny, very fun. And the kid from High School musical is great.

[Brianne]

He's hysterical.

[Fran]

He's so funny.

[Noah]

He's really funny. There was one line I, like, feel. I can't remember what it was, but I, like, actually thought it was so funny. But I'll give it a B plus. Yeah.

[Fran]

Solid.

[Noah]

Very good. And that's it.

[Fran]

Dang. All right. Light week for you.

[Noah]

I mean, we were traveling and a lot of baseball, a lot of watching.

[Fran]

You're right.

[Noah]

Last weekend, so that's fair.

[Fran]

Pick up the slack this week.

[Brianne]

Seriously.

[Noah]

I was rewatching.

[Brianne]

Get to watching.

[Noah]

Re. Watching the score Stacy documentary with my dad yesterday. I still want to watch that. Really?

[Brianne]

I gotta write that down, right?

[Noah]

Apple tv. Apple tv.

[Fran]

Oh, Apple tv. I gotta write that down. All right. That's everything we watched. All right, that wraps up today's episode of Chicks in the office. Thank you so much for watching and listening. We're happy to be back. We love you guys so very much, and we'll talk to you on Wednesday.
