Introduction of Co-Hosts: Brooks and Grace Ann Nader

The episode kicks off with Fran Mariano warmly welcoming Brooks and Grace Ann Nader as guest co-hosts, highlighting their previous appearances on the show. Fran reminisces about Brooks and Grace Ann's past viral moments, including Grace Ann's humorous recounting of how "Lil Uzi cured my yeast infection" (02:16) and discussions on potential nip slips during their onlyfans-like episodes (02:34).

Personal Lives and Relationships

The conversation swiftly moves to the personal lives of Brooks and Grace Ann. Brooks shares her excitement about filming a reality show in Soho with her sisters, stating, “We’re filming our reality show, which is the most fun, fun project I've ever worked on, ever” (04:03). She also updates listeners on her recent relationship status, mentioning a new boyfriend and how her life is “really falling into place” (04:19).

Grace Ann opens up about her own dating experiences, revealing that her ex-husband was her first and only date at 18. She humorously discusses her struggle with modern dating terms like "love bombing" and the challenges of navigating relationships alongside her sisters (08:27). Both sisters candidly talk about their preferences in partners, especially Brooks’ aversion to older men, contrasting with Grace Ann's openness to them (56:32).

Living Together in Soho

Brooks and Grace Ann delve into the dynamics of living together in a shared Soho apartment. Grace Ann describes it as a "dream come true" that brings back childhood memories of sharing rooms in Louisiana (07:03). They discuss the pros and cons, highlighting the comedic and sometimes chaotic nature of their close-knit living arrangement. This setup amplifies their sisterly bond, allowing them to support and joke with each other through the ups and downs of everyday life.

Reality TV and Upcoming Shows

A significant portion of the discussion centers around Brooks and Grace Ann's upcoming reality TV show.

They express nostalgia for the show's earlier seasons and the inevitable challenges of maintaining long-running reality series.

A major highlight of the episode is the controversial subpoena involving Taylor Swift in the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Fran provides a detailed account of Taylor Swift’s limited involvement in the film in question, emphasizing that her only connection was licensing a song (41:06). Grace Ann criticizes the tactic, stating, “This document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift's name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case” (42:20). The discussion underscores the complexity of celebrity involvement in legal matters and the impact of public relations strategies.

Cyrus Family Drama

The episode also touches on the tumultuous relationships within the Cyrus family. Fran summarizes recent events, including Billy Ray Cyrus’s public statements addressing his struggles and the family's divided loyalties (48:39).

They reflect on the challenges of maintaining familial bonds amid public scrutiny and personal hardships.

What's up everyone? It's Chicks in the Office with Ria and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Monday. Happy Monday. Sorry for the delay everyone, but we have a very important co host to end the Fran and friends journey. Co host today, Brooks and Grace Ann Nader. Guys, I am so excited you're both here.

[Grace Ann Nader]

We are over the moon, thrilled. And I'm also shaking and sweating and terrified because she here.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh my God.

[Brooks Nader]

Well, vice versa.

[Fran Mariano]

Is it. Do you find it safer when you can control everything on your own or do you think like Grace Anne's gonna put you on blessed?

[Brooks Nader]

She definitely finds it safer when she controls.

[Grace Ann Nader]

She's gonna answer all the questions for me. Why am I even here?

[Brooks Nader]

I think I'm the one that she can't control and that's why I'm a bit of a wild card. And I make you sweat a little bit.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

Shaken into your.

[Fran Mariano]

Do you think the other sisters listen to you more?

[Grace Ann Nader]

They fall a little more in line. When mommy says something, they do it. This one marches to the beater bone. There you go.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And it's a crazy beat.

[Fran Mariano]

There you go. Well, I'm fired up because one, you have been on the show a few times. The first time you came on, we were in our old little teeny studio. Grace Anne was on the couch, went viral for telling an absolutely insane story about Grace Anne. She wasn't even on camera. Now she is.

[Brooks Nader]

I went back to college and just was absolutely roasted by everyone.

[Fran Mariano]

There you go.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Which why do we need to reiterate for those who didn't see the episode?

[Brooks Nader]

Lil Uzi cured my yeast infection.

[Grace Ann Nader]

She had a yeast infection cured by Lil Uzi. Exactly. Iconic moment there, Dr. Ooze. Dr. Uzi.

[Brooks Nader]

To this day we still call him Dr. Uzi.

[Fran Mariano]

Dr. Uzi Vert so good. And then the next time you came in, you were here with Camille Kostick.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yep.

[Fran Mariano]

And there was potential nip slips for maybe the entire.

[Grace Ann Nader]

The whole episode was an only fans video, basically.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, what's new?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

And it was the funniest thing ever, because we're this room. We are all girls except for Noah, our producer. And I kept being like, oh, my God. No. Like. And Brooks was like, no, I just. Just edit it. If you see, like, my neck come out.

[Brooks Nader]

Why are you doing that to him? He's the blurb lines going off job and on.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, yeah, right.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Sorry, Noah. Our job tonight.

[Fran Mariano]

Hard job. Somebody's got to do it.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Honestly, I was like, it's fine. I'm so fine. With. With a little Nipsey. We never hurt nobody.

[Fran Mariano]

No, no, no. Somebody. And now you're my example, which is so funny, because anytime a guest comes in, that is like, we had somebody last week who is on Bravo, and she was in a amazing jumpsuit, but it was strapless. Like, just not even strapless. It had straps, just. But. And it kept kind of slipping a little bit. She was like, oh, my. I'm so sorry. And I was like, don't worry. You're not. You're not our first.

[Grace Ann Nader]

We should frame it. We should frame it in the office so that it's kind of like this is the parameter and we'll blur you.

[Fran Mariano]

And it's exactly. We're like, this is not your first. But, guys, I'm so excited you're here. You are all over. I feel like you're traveling. You're at every event, you're at every party. How is life going for you guys right now?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Well, I guess since I'm a co host. Do you want to kick things off?

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

How is life going for you?

[Brooks Nader]

My life's going great. I mean, couldn't be happier.

[Grace Ann Nader]

No.

[Brooks Nader]

Here, living in Soho with all my sisters. We're filming our reality show, which is the most fun, fun project I've ever worked on, ever.

[Grace Ann Nader]

The only project probably ever will in entertainment. But, yeah, okay.

[Brooks Nader]

And, yeah, everything's great.

[Fran Mariano]

And you finished school?

[Brooks Nader]

I finished school. I got a new boyfriend. That's awesome.

[Fran Mariano]

Amazing.

[Brooks Nader]

Everything's really falling into place.

[Grace Ann Nader]

She is kind of living the life.

[Brooks Nader]

I'm kind of not gonna lie.

[Grace Ann Nader]

A single debit, credit, or any other card, she just. I have with us or her boyfriend and says, I don't keep cards on me, so. Come on.

[Brooks Nader]

That is not true. I am a client of Chase Bank.

[Fran Mariano]

There you go.

[Brooks Nader]

With my debit cards, she can Withdra.

[Fran Mariano]

Cash if she needs.

[Brooks Nader]

I can withdraw if I need to.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. And also potentially overdraw.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. She only overdraws very often, so, yeah, potentially overdraw.

[Fran Mariano]

But we've all been there, and that's probably been, like, the most fun early stages of everyone's young life in New York City. I think they have those memories being like, will I be able to pay for my drinks at the bar?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Totally. It's a rush.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, we were shopping the other day, and my car declined, and I was like, you know, one day I'm going to look back and laugh. I'm like, super rich. And I'm like, I hope that happens.

[Fran Mariano]

Manifest. Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

You got to marry. To me, it probably will.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I used to put, like, all of my rents on. I didn't know how credit cards worked when I dropped out of Tulane and moved to the city, and I was like, oh, my gosh. I have a $12,000 free money card. Like, this is amazing. I put so many rents on it. Physically lost the card.

[Fran Mariano]

Yep.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And then forgot it existed. And then, like, two years ago, it popped back up and was like, triple. But then what happened was crazy. I got so lucky. I don't know how this happened. I got a letter from the bank that was like, oh, like, during COVID like, do you want us to, like, forgive this and your credit score might drop or you can pay it? And I was like, forgive it.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And they did. And then my credit score went up. I mean, I don't even know how. I was like, that's amazing.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm like, that forgiven. Thank you so much. Is it that easy?

[Grace Ann Nader]

I picked up for not.

[Brooks Nader]

I totally missed that bus, but.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Right.

[Fran Mariano]

You're like, wow. This whole. This I got so.

[Brooks Nader]

I was like, you're so broke. I'm like, you were just forgiven hundreds of Thousands.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That was 12K, by the way.

[Brooks Nader]

12K.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, well, it was great, you guys. Brooks, you guys are actually all. Everyone is co hosting today, which is the whole panel that we're gonna go through a bunch of our topics. I'm very excited. I'm very excited to see what you guys are tuned into right now, because, like you said, you are filming your own show. So I wonder if, you know, you have to get inspiration anywhere. So we'll run through some topics, but before we do all that, you are all living together now?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

How is that going over?

[Grace Ann Nader]

It's so crazy.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I mean, honestly, four sisters, four girls, one apartment, one dream, the whole thing. And we're all living in Soho. It's honestly a dream come true. And I think not to be weird, but it's sentimental. But when we grew up in Louisiana, we grew up in like a small house. We all shared rooms and so it kind of brings us back to like our childhood. And then of course they lost me to fighting the good fight trying to get married or whatever and that didn't work out. So I'm like back to square one.

[Brooks Nader]

It was a long three years with Asia.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Right, right. And so yeah, it was kind of like funny when I had to move back in with them. And there's pros and cons, of course.

[Fran Mariano]

Yes.

[Brooks Nader]

More pros.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. And now you get single Brooks back, which is.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

What? What. How would you describe it?

[Brooks Nader]

I mean I think in her fault. I think it's been the most entertaining thing of all of our lives.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

Especially because you wouldn't think it, but Brooks is so awkward and nervous around boys and her flirting style is so unique and weird that we literally have so much fun with it. And it's cute like just the way you reply to text, the way you'll talk to guys that you like. We're like, what the hell? We thought you were the.

[Grace Ann Nader]

It's pretty much worked out nicely like.

[Brooks Nader]

With like you know.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

Kind of like playboy but a girl. But then she is just so damn awkward and it's really hilarious. But you have to remember that she was so young to her very first boyfriend. So she really doesn't. She wasn't really ever in her young 20s dating in New York.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

Which is such.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I never dated at all actually my ex husband was my first date.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Of my life. I never. I was 18. So like I never been on a proper like dinner date. And then we got married and I wasn't with anyone else until 27. Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

But it's cute. She'll be like should I just reply this? And we're like oh my God, no. Like you're sending a paragraph. And he said paragraphs.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Grace Ann.

[Fran Mariano]

Okay, what. What kind of like do we send emojis or no emojis.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I do a million emojis. A million exclamation marks. Cuz that's just how I am. And they're like one explanation mark is enough. And I'm like, is it that serious? Wait till you see what I'm sending next.

[Fran Mariano]

Right.

[Brooks Nader]

We do a lot of emoticons.

[Fran Mariano]

Okay.

[Brooks Nader]

Some people are think are outdated but I'm a big fan of the smiley face. That's a colon parenthesis.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

The heart.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I don't even know what that means.

[Brooks Nader]

See, that's emoticons.

[Fran Mariano]

That's coming back. It's not just using the emoji and it's just like sending an actual smiley face. Although recently we were really making fun of one of my friends for sending using it also, like, on a dating app. Like, and we're like, why are you stop sending him smiley faces. You don't know him. Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Oh, fuck. That's what I do.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, I do it so much.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I do too. But you have a boyfriend, so it's different. Yeah, it's interesting having the damn Nader peanut gallery around 24 7. I can't get away with one thing. If I miss a period so much. Miss a period. They're all in my room going, you should take a test. You're one day late. I'm like, no. Like, get out of my bathroom. Like, just because there's heated floors, they all congregate in my bathroom. They lay on it, they sit on it, they gossip on it. They know everything I do at all times. I feel like I'm in a conservatorship with them.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah, well, we feel that way about.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, okay, well.

[Fran Mariano]

Well, there you go. There you go. What does. Where. Like, when your mom comes to visit, is she just sitting in a chair listening to you guys, like, go off and she can even contribute to the conversation with you guys?

[Brooks Nader]

My mom loves to help us out and feel needed, I think, which is so sweet. So every time she's here, she's like, let me do the laundry or the dishes or fold your clothes. And we're like, you don't have to do that. We all hang out. But I realized that her tactic is to be doing dishes or folding laundry and listen in on the conversation.

[Grace Ann Nader]

She's a gossiper.

[Brooks Nader]

She doesn't want to gossip.

[Grace Ann Nader]

She wants gossip with the rest of us. For instance, I was just. I landed this morning back from a David Yarrow shoot. It was like Wolf of Wall street themed in Miami, and my dad work in finance. And so they're like, can he be one of the bankers? Like, in the background on the trading floor? He was so excited. He crushed his first modeling gig. I was so proud of him. My mom was there. Then we go to lunch after and they're like, so what's going on with the other girls? We feel that they're a little mentally unstable and unwell. I go, how do you feel that way? And they go, just by looking at him, look at them. And I was like, oh, okay. And then they Were going. And Sarah Jane's like, just tell us the tea. Like, who's she hooking up with? We heard this story. We heard that story. And so sometimes I'll. Mostly I'll give them.

[Brooks Nader]

I give them a lot.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I do give them a lot.

[Brooks Nader]

That's probably why they think that. Cause I recently spoke to mom, and she was like, what's new? And I was like, well, nothing with me. Sarah Jane had a date last night, and I just spill everything.

[Fran Mariano]

That is, I think, the most sibling. Like, when a parent checks in, you're like, I really don't want to tell you anything about my life, but let me tell you everything about myself.

[Grace Ann Nader]

What this bitch is doing. Yeah, exactly.

[Fran Mariano]

As well. Did you hear what happened to her?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, like, sipping my tea. None of my business, but I know.

[Fran Mariano]

You called to ask about me, but I got something way more interesting. How do they feel about the reality TV journey? Are they pumped for it?

[Grace Ann Nader]

They're so, like, listen, they're, like, from South Louisiana. They met it at church. They, like, waited to me until marriage to have sex. They're so wholesome and sweet and, like, opposite of us. So it's kind of like a sick joke that my parents had, the four of us. So they're like, y' all are so crazy, like, being on TV and stuff. And they didn't know what to expect. And then, you know, we went down to Louisiana, and we've filmed a lot with them. And, like, honestly, I'm like, they're the stars of the show. No one's gonna watch this for us. They're so funny. Unintentionally. And, like, like you said, it's just chaos ensues. And then my parents are sitting there, like, with the train wreck, like, what the fuck did we do wrong? And I'm like, you did everything right. We're good girls.

[Fran Mariano]

No, it's.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, they're the sweetest.

[Fran Mariano]

And we have joked about it before when talking about your dad. They're gonna go crazy for him on tv.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, he's the star of the show.

[Grace Ann Nader]

People love him, and he loves himself. He literally goes. In Baton Rouge the other night, he goes, we were at the Beer Garden, and this group of girls came up to us. They go, are you Brooks's dad, bro Nader? He goes, I mean, we're basically getting papped. He goes, I'm not even kidding you. We're basically getting papped. I go, oh, my God. One person came up to you. He loves it. He loves it.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, just wait. It's Just the beginning. I think for him, he has no idea. Oh, my God. It's gonna be. It's gonna be so, so good. They don't make it easy to buy concert tickets these days.

I love watching and seeing where you guys are because I feel like it's always on the move, on the go, on a plane, at a party, at an event. Like, do you ever rest? Ever?

[Grace Ann Nader]

She rests. Well, the other night, she gets all eight hours. Plus.

[Brooks Nader]

I'm. I've become a big proponent of sleep lately, and I.

[Fran Mariano]

Sleep is important.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Never met her.

[Fran Mariano]

I don't know. Does Brooks sleep? I feel like she's standing up.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I do.

[Brooks Nader]

And I always tell her, I'm like, you need to prioritize your sleep because you'll just be better at everything all the time.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I'm great at everything.

[Brooks Nader]

Brooks never rests. But sometimes she goes, goes, goes until she crashes and burns. And that happened last week when we were all about to go for a night out. She had a little crash moment, so we had to cancel all of our plans. And I was like, this is where it comes in handy to have some stamina and sleep every other night.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Well, Grace Ann, sometimes I don't have a choice because I'm actually a hustler.

[Brooks Nader]

No, I know that. I know that. But I'm just saying, you saw that.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Cold plunge sleep spa. This must be nice.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

And I feel like you're constantly on a plane, Brooks.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, I know. I Am.

[Fran Mariano]

What's your. What are your. What are your, like, plane secrets? You must have some tips, because I feel like you look amazing and you're coming on and off a plane all the time.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I don't really have any tips. I have, like. I've been doing a lot this week. Like, four times to and from Miami for work and back. And so there's no lie flats or anything. So I have, like, trained myself to be able to just, like, fall asleep sitting up like this. And I have this mask called the Drowsy Mask. Have you heard of it?

[Fran Mariano]

No.

[Grace Ann Nader]

It, like, takes up your whole entire face. It's completely blackout. I do that, you know, a little. Like half a Xanax. Yep. And a big glass of wine.

[Fran Mariano]

That's the. That's the cocktail.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That's it.

[Brooks Nader]

Secret.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And then I'm. I'm dead to the world.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

But, yeah, that's basically it. I'll do a little sheet mask, an LED mask. I do all that crazy shit on planes because I look so dry and crusty when I get off of flights.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

Never. You always look great.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Oh, yeah. Okay. She wants something.

[Fran Mariano]

That's what she's. She's vying for.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yes, she does.

[Brooks Nader]

Buttering her.

[Fran Mariano]

What has. What has post Dancing with the Stars life been like for you? Because it was kind of a massive moment.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I mean, honestly, life got better after. I mean, Dancing with the Stars was such a great experience. And, you know, there's many emotions that I went through throughout the season and post season and, you know, like you said, we're. We're filming our own show, which is so fun and so exciting and so something we dreamt about for a long time. So there's, like, highs and lows of it all, but, you know, it's moving and shaking. Things are really busy and great. But, I mean, I don't even.

[Fran Mariano]

Are we leaving it all in the.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Past, like being on Dancing with the Stars?

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. And everything that came with it.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. So we're definitely leaving it all in the past. I mean, definitely. Like, I'm not gonna go on Dancing the Stars again, obviously. Maybe one of the girls, um, they want to go on, so we'll see what happens there. I probably won't be back in the ballroom, like, to watch them, but I'll watch on TV and support. Of course. It's a great show. And then in terms of my twinkle toes partner. Yeah, he's. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

You know, so the. A big debate and, you know, Ri and I talked about it a couple times. I will say was like, are we. Is this real?

[Grace Ann Nader]

So that's the crazy part, Fran. That's. People ask me that every day. They're like, it was a joke, right? Yeah. Why are you sad that you and your fake boyfriend broke? I'm like, actually, it wasn't. That's the crazy part.

[Brooks Nader]

That's the joke of it all, really.

[Grace Ann Nader]

It's really. Like. I'm like, I listen. Everyone has certain bits in life and whatever. I think what really happened, if I'm gonna be totally honest, is, like, day one, I was like, ooh, he's hot. And even whenever. Whenever I was like. Dina Katz, who. Who runs Dancing Stars, called and was like, okay, who's your ideal partner?

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And I said. I said this. You can quote me. I said, I want the hottest, douchiest.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I said, I do. I'm newly divorced. I'm in Europe. I'm on about. Yeah, give me the douchiest host. And she goes, we got him. Got the.

[Fran Mariano]

We got him.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And I should have.

[Fran Mariano]

Douchest in the world. As a Dancing with the Stars super fan, which, you know, I've told you before, like, I was like, every season. That is kind of what he does.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And so, like, day one, when I met him, I was like, oh, this is perfect. This isn't going to go anywhere serious. Like, I know exactly what I'm going to do here. And it's going to be, like, a bit day one. Day two, I was, like, in love. And, like, it wasn't a bit anymore. And I was actually really, really into him. And so. And I think it's hard because, like, my sister said, I don't. Like, I'm not familiar with all these, like, dating terms, like, love bombing. This. It's all new to me because I haven't dated. I've only been married. So when I was. When certain things would happen throughout the season, they would be like, that's a huge red flag. And I'm like, but is it right? So nice. They're like, it's called love bombing or this or that. So I think I was kind of. And also, not to mention, I was, like, with him eight hours a day, seven days a week. And we were working and working out a lot. Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, there's also the interesting dynamic of when, as a sister especially, you watch your sisters go through relationships and when things happen that are a red flag or that are kind of weird or huge red flags, that you're like, whoa, no, you're still working with him every single day, and you're still like, you have to maintain a good relationship.

[Fran Mariano]

Totally.

[Brooks Nader]

Especially with something like dancing together to, you know, give it your best shot and not screw up the relationship and get eliminated immediately, you know? But that said, I think day one, when the sisters met Gleb, we all were like, oh, God damn, this is gonna be a headache and a whirlwind, and this might go on for months and months and months. And as for the whole. Is this fake or showmance or whatever, I can tell you firsthand, every time I visited Brooks's trailer, the trailer was shaking every single time. And I was like, I would never wanted to go in there. I was always knocking. She was always at our house. It was just a lot. And so I think it was very real.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, the trailer thing was probably why we didn't win. But, like, it's like, you know, what's the girl to do? I was newly single.

[Fran Mariano]

Wait, you want to know the funniest thing so scares me? No, no. It's actually very funny. As you guys are doing the show and people are like, the. The dances. Like, everyone's, like, has their strong opinion.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, people hated me.

[Fran Mariano]

My sister made a TikTok that was like, you know what? You guys all just hate them because they're hot, but they're good, and I really love her. And then you saw it and you reposted it on your. On your Instagram story. Wait, I was like, oh, my God. Essay is literally. Literally g. His video.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Wait. Yes.

[Fran Mariano]

I was so funny.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Because you know what? It's so pathetic and sad, but it was all negative, slut, whore, this bitch, whatever it was. And then when there was one, there was always one needle in a haystack. I'd be like, repost.

[Brooks Nader]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Fran Mariano]

And that was Gia being like, you know what? You're all just jealous because they're so hot.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I love her.

[Brooks Nader]

I love her.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I remember seeing that and being like, she nailed it.

[Fran Mariano]

Just kidding.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Exactly.

[Fran Mariano]

No, it was so good. It was so good. So now, I mean, okay, we're leaving it all in the past. We're moving on. Which is why I feel like watching you guys do a show now altogether is so genius. Brie and I have been saying it for forever, that as soon as the first time I hung out with, like, all of you guys together or even just. I've gotten the sisters in, like, bits and pieces.

[Grace Ann Nader]

You have. You've got moments.

[Fran Mariano]

Exactly. I'm like, okay, you're all so amazing, so funny, so cute. I'm like, Mary Holland's the little precious angel.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Precious angel.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Nerd.

[Brooks Nader]

Precious angel.

[Fran Mariano]

She met my parents, and my mom was like, how do we get her to fall in love with J, my brother? How do we get her? She's so great.

[Grace Ann Nader]

We can cast a spell on her whole witchery thing.

[Brooks Nader]

Everyone wants to marry Mary Holland to marry her. She's so wifable. I want to marry her.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. We are married to her.

[Fran Mariano]

So when you guys, like, at night now. Who's. Who's. You have your boyfriend?

[Brooks Nader]

Yes.

[Fran Mariano]

Are you the only one in a relationship right now?

[Brooks Nader]

Mary Holland is in a relationship with a British guy. Breaking hearts.

[Grace Ann Nader]

But listen, never. Nothing's.

[Brooks Nader]

I never say never.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, no, no.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Never say never. I mean, my parents don't like that. I say this, but it's not good to say. I'm like. And my mom's like, well, once you get married. And I'm like, I mean, what if you don't like him? And I'm like, you get divorced. My mom's like, no, you can't. It's a sin. I'm not gonna do that.

[Fran Mariano]

I know, but, like, now. It's like, now you already did it.

[Brooks Nader]

You already broke the ice there.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, I already kind of broke the ice.

[Fran Mariano]

Right? Oh, my. Wait. Okay. British. So let's go back. I. Everyone loves a British accent. So now I need to know more about this guy. Where'd he come from? The.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Did he come from? They call it the Coswalls.

[Brooks Nader]

I don't even know what it is.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Cotswolds. Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah. He's British. Interestingly enough, the latest is that he's invited my parents to Wimbledon with him and Mary Holland. I'm wondering if they're going to have a parents meeting moment. His parents?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yes.

[Fran Mariano]

That is.

[Brooks Nader]

Because that feels super serious.

[Fran Mariano]

So posh.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, Wimbledon was so posh.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And, like, the Beverly Hillbillies are so excited to see everything in London. They've never been, you know, to London before. My parents. That's crazy. I didn't really know that. I'm always a little skeptical of all my sister's boyfriends. I think he's so nice and kind and amazing and sweet. Sometimes I get a little confused with British guys because it's like, am I just enamored or 100? You know, when you accent sweeter, right?

[Fran Mariano]

Is it like when you're. When you're, like, making fun of me, is it actually nice, or are you really making fun of me?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

So, I mean, I think time will tell. I hope that I get a warning before Something crazy goes down if she's. Their parents are gonna meet. But you're.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, making that up. I don't know if the parents are meeting. But you just said it would be weird if. Will it be weird if he invited my parents to London and they didn't meet?

[Fran Mariano]

I think Zola is modern wedding planning for modern couples. No lie. With Zola, you can plan your entire wedding in one convenient place. And not only does Zola have every tool you need to make planning enjoyable, from making your vendor search non anxiety inducing, to wedding websites and an instant registry that you can literally build with one click, they also really get you from challenging the expectation that one person will do all of the planning work to reminding you that there's no right way to do things or only what's right for you. Zola will have your back from day one to the wedding day. Start [e-mail]. that's Z O L A dot com.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I don't think that's.

[Brooks Nader]

He's also super religious. He's very Christian, so I feel like this guy's getting on one.

[Fran Mariano]

How long. How long have they been together?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Maybe a year.

[Brooks Nader]

No, nine months.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Okay, see, that's the thing that feels like appropriate age.

[Fran Mariano]

Like parents meeting. But she falls so hard time for parents to meet.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And I'll trust it only because she falls so hard so fast. And it's like, he's the one. She's like a serial dater.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh. Yeah. So honestly, nine months is maybe long for the parents to meet in her book then.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, it is. Like, he took forever to say I love you, which pissed her off.

[Brooks Nader]

Kind of confused all of us.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

He hasn't said I love you. I was like, oh, my God, dude.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And she's so sweet. Like, it was so awkward. She would be like.

[Fran Mariano]

I would think guys would be saying it like three days in.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, if you don't.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

It's like. But that didn't. I didn't get the last laugh on that one.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Well, not a good example.

[Fran Mariano]

Right. So maybe nine. Maybe you should maybe don't love me.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Don't tell me you love me.

[Fran Mariano]

Maybe this is the right way.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Let's go opposite next time. Be mean to me and I won't be obsessed with you.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah, exactly.

[Grace Ann Nader]

We'll see what happens with those two.

[Brooks Nader]

I'm a big fan. I mean, she seems super happy. She also dives really headfirst into relationship.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That's the only hesitation. It's not as much him, it's her. Yeah, she's the problem.

[Fran Mariano]

All right, well, fingers crossed for we hope.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

Goes well. You know, best of luck.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Saying it like it's her worst enemy. Best of luck to ya. Okay, well, let's hope it works out because we're.

[Brooks Nader]

No, I want it to work out so bad.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Okay.

[Brooks Nader]

I do.

[Fran Mariano]

Say it with a little say with your chest. I wanted to work out.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I'm pro man.

[Fran Mariano]

Really wanted to work out.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I guess the funny, interesting thing about him as well is that he is a lord. He has a lord title. So he's friends with like.

[Fran Mariano]

So the poshness keeps going.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah, yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Harry and Meghan and all that. Gang, gang.

[Brooks Nader]

But I'm like, when we go to a restaurant, is he also. Reservations for Lord Jewels?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, he's like 40, I think 39. 40.

[Brooks Nader]

He's 38.

[Grace Ann Nader]

He's Harry's age. They were in the same grade in school.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, my gosh. You ladies and your older men.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Older lords. Yeah, I had a prince face. Love the royals, you know? Yeah, we do love a royal.

[Fran Mariano]

Why would you not.

[Grace Ann Nader]

What? You want me to be royal?

[Fran Mariano]

Okay. Why would you.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I'm down.

[Fran Mariano]

Why would you not down.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Down to be the queen?

[Fran Mariano]

I can't wait. Like, you know what? This is like a tough. I can't wait to tell my brother this because he's going to be like, you gotta be kidding me. Guess what?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Not to hold on hope.

[Fran Mariano]

Guess what? She has a new boyfriend and he's a lord and he's friends with Prince Harry.

[Grace Ann Nader]

But it's okay, you know? I mean, you never know.

[Fran Mariano]

Yep.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Let's see what happens here.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

So would she be a lady?

[Brooks Nader]

I guess she would be a lady.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

I'm not calling her that.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Lady. No.

[Fran Mariano]

Duchess is like, higher up, I think.

[Brooks Nader]

I think duchess is higher.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. She ain't a duchess, let me tell you.

[Brooks Nader]

She's a V.I. countess.

[Grace Ann Nader]

What the hell is that?

[Fran Mariano]

Maybe. I don't know.

[Brooks Nader]

I just know that he's a.

[Fran Mariano]

That's a guy. I don't know if that's a man. Right?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Okay.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Okay.

[Brooks Nader]

A vi Counts a lady. I don't even know.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm trying to think of what they call them on Bridgerton and I can.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Oh, my God. Her being a little bridger. That's so her, though.

[Brooks Nader]

It's so her.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I want her kids to have British. Now I'm thinking about their kids.

[Brooks Nader]

Okay, Now I'm even more pro. Jewels.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Okay, fine. We like him.

[Brooks Nader]

I'm down.

[Fran Mariano]

If you move to the UK and have beautiful British children, then we like and we can all live okay with it.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. Cotswolds. Cotswolds. You just hear my parents dance. They go, we're going to the camels. I go, camels. They go, the camels out in the. I go, what the fuck is that? They go, the countryside. I go, oh, the Cotswolds. Yeah. I can't say it, but it's okay. Learn that before you meet Jules's parents. How about that? I love it. I'll keep you posted.

[Fran Mariano]

Yes.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I don't know her plan. It's kind of funny. Like, I feel like, as we're filming, because I feel like, like you said, it's reality tv. Like, I. I do. I used to be such a junkie. Like a reality TV junkie. But I haven't seen a lot of, like, young girls in New York City based shows. A lot of la, a lot of. So it's like.

[Fran Mariano]

And they're all like, real estate agents.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Totally.

[Fran Mariano]

Right?

[Brooks Nader]

So, yeah, we're not selling anything for ourselves.

[Fran Mariano]

Just our soul. As you should. As you should.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, exactly. So it's kind of like, you know, and we're from, like, you know, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and so there's like, swamp people meet sex in the city and, like, everything that comes with it. Like the Beverly Hillbillies of New York. It's pretty hilarious even just in real time as it's all happening. And to us, it's not anything out of the ordinary because it's like, you know, I've been in New York since I was 18, and my parents have visited me ever. And slept in the apartment. And like, everything that comes with that is just so. It's like comedic relief. So I think with all the highs and lows of, like, relationships isn't that having us all living together is like. Because all we can do is make fun. Even if it's the darkest situation. We laugh. That's what we do. That's how we cope.

[Fran Mariano]

No, that's how that's what you have to do. And I think that's so fun now that you guys are all doing it together. Like, when do sisters really ever get to say we lived together in New York doing that life, Like, I know it's kind of the dream.

[Brooks Nader]

I'll never move out. It really is serendipitous. And especially I think that it kind of looks a certain way to girls back home or girls in the Midwest that have this dream of moving to a big city, wearing better clothes and, you know, getting into fashion or doing whatever. And then we're. We're all doing that. But then at the same time, we're so kind of silly and goofy and we kind of are clumsy and, like, little things happen.

[Grace Ann Nader]

You're trashy is what you're trying to say. Yeah, yeah, really trashy.

[Brooks Nader]

So it's kind of. It's just funny, Which I love.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I am too, by the way.

[Fran Mariano]

As you should, like, you have to keep that side of you, or else then you're. Then you're totally a sellout.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Totally. No, we are always too dark. Our roots in ourselves, like, it's. It's crazy.

[Fran Mariano]

This is going to sound like maybe a stupid question, but how did you end up being the only one with, like, not a double name?

[Grace Ann Nader]

So I have a double name. Brooks Player. But when I moved to New York and I had, like, my first modeling casting, I was so nervous and I, like, went up. I think it was like Dior or something, like, really scary. And of course, they didn't book me. They were like, she has boobs. Fuck off. And so I, like, walked up and they were like, what's your name? And I was like, brooks Claire Nader. And they're like, which name is it, Brooks or Claire? And I was like, brooks. And so I just picked one and stayed in that lane. And then everyone was just like, too long. What's your name? And then of course, by the time they got here and I had built a little network, they're like, of course I'll accept the double names. So they didn't have to drop them, right?

[Brooks Nader]

I'm pretty adamant about mine.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

You're like, but Sarah Jane and Mary Holland will. Will go by Sarah and Mary.

[Grace Ann Nader]

No, they don't.

[Brooks Nader]

I've heard sometimes they allow it.

[Grace Ann Nader]

No, I'm annoying.

[Brooks Nader]

And I'll. I'll stop people and be like, it's crazy.

[Fran Mariano]

And Ray San has a good flow to it. I mean, they all do. Really? They all do. But I can see. I can see Mary Holland maybe sometimes they're like, wait, what's a middle name?

[Brooks Nader]

And she also works at a bank, so people were just like, I'm not calling you that.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, right, right, right, right, right. Good for her for keeping her. Keeping that job, huh?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, I know. I. I mean, this one over here. Don't talk to her about her job. What are you.

[Brooks Nader]

Don't worry about it.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, it's very sketchy.

[Fran Mariano]

Is there a job?

[Grace Ann Nader]

No.

[Brooks Nader]

Well, I recently left my job at a nonprofit after two weeks. Okay, not after two weeks. And so I'm in between right now. But, you know, that's why?

[Fran Mariano]

That's what we're following along for.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

[Fran Mariano]

It's. You know, maybe Brooks is going on some dates. Mary Holland's headed to. With all that. Headed to the bank.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Grace. Job hunting. Job hunting.

[Grace Ann Nader]

You know exactly what's true.

[Fran Mariano]

What's Sarah Jane up to?

[Brooks Nader]

Oh, what does she not know?

[Fran Mariano]

What?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, she's all over the map, that girl.

[Fran Mariano]

Well, being the youngest, I think you, like. Do you think youngest gets the most excuses?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Like, they're like, absolutely. She definitely can do whatever she wants.

[Brooks Nader]

A lot of excuses.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. And she also just kind of, like, thinks she's coming for my throne in a way. Like, she's like, I'm the new. I'm the hotter, younger version. And I'm like, now watch it. That's not true at all. You're also five years younger than me. But she likes to say it in, like, social settings, like in really dope, intimate groups. And she's like, don't be mad. I'm the hotter, younger. And I'm like, you're grounded for that one. That's not.

[Fran Mariano]

That's.

[Grace Ann Nader]

No, I don't like it. So we had to ground her recently a few times.

[Fran Mariano]

I mean, you guys are all in your 20s, so. Yeah, it's a crazy statement.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. Like, okay, yeah, this isn't right. None of it's right.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, exactly, exactly. Can't quite make that jump yet. I. I feel like. But have you guys been loving the buzz around the show and hearing about it and people being excited about it? You have some big names that are involved with you guys?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, we're really lucky and fortunate. Like, we grew up, obviously, watching Jimmy Kimmel live, and, you know, like, our parents are so obsessed, and he's so hilarious and provides such, like, you know, I feel like in dark times in the world, he's the guy that, like, makes everybody laugh and, like, brings people together. So to have him, you know, as an executive producer is amazing. And then our team is great. Our producers have worked on amazing shows. One was on Kardashians for many years, so they've done this before, and they know exactly they're doing. And also, it's kind of crazy because, I mean, a lot of people are like, you know, oh, my gosh, this is perfect timing. This whole Gleb thing goes up, and then she gets a reality show. I'm like, no, this has been in the works for, like, multiple years. You don't just get a reality show. And one of our producers, Rachel, was. Was with us, like, Day one when we were doing a sizzle reel. And so she's seen us truly grow over the last two, three years and knows our story. So it helps so much to like have people that we're friends with that, you know, know us as individuals.

[Fran Mariano]

I remember like just hearing rumblings of a conversation from you guys like last maybe some last summer. Two summers ago. So it's like.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, well, before Dancing with the Stars, right? It's people thinking.

[Fran Mariano]

No, no, I was gonna say well before Dancing with the Stars. So it's so exciting that, that it's all.

[Grace Ann Nader]

We love that you're. That you're on it.

[Brooks Nader]

I know. I'm like, we all gotta hang out.

[Grace Ann Nader]

You are. Our redheaded sister are gorgeous. Like, you make me want to dye my hair that color.

[Brooks Nader]

It's a good color.

[Fran Mariano]

You could totally. Seriously, it's stunning on you guys.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I just feel right at home. And look at you, You've upgraded. You have the. I know.

[Fran Mariano]

All I need is to just go topless on your roof. And then let's go.

[Brooks Nader]

Over this week.

[Grace Ann Nader]

It's a requirement. We have like a no shirt, no shoes policy in our.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm down. I actually, I'm also pro nudity in the privacy of my own home.

[Brooks Nader]

So we are all nudists.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Full blown.

[Brooks Nader]

Full blown.

[Fran Mariano]

It is great.

[Grace Ann Nader]

It is. It's true.

[Fran Mariano]

So, yeah, I'll have to come over to the soho.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Come on over. Come on over. Have a really good old time over there.

[Fran Mariano]

It seems like a fun party. All right, we're going to jump into some topics covering some pop culture stories that happened this weekend. We have the Real House of New York, which is, you know, very long standing show. They rebooted it and now it was rumored to be canceled. But then Bravo was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's not canceled. But they didn't really give any more answers besides that. At the end of last week, it was the classic Friday like 4pm news. Dumb.

[Grace Ann Nader]

What happened?

[Fran Mariano]

Taylor Swift. It was. Is being subpoenaed in the lively Baldonis Baldoni situation. And Taylor and Travis were in Philly for Mother's Day with the Kelsey family. Billy Ray Cyrus and his family seem to have made amends. There's been a lot of family drama with the Cyrus's and Bill Belichick went to the Miss Main pageant to support his girlfriend, Jordan Hudson. They've been in the news for a while.

[Brooks Nader]

Did I hear something about her not being allowed to the stadium anymore?

[Fran Mariano]

You did hear that. You did hear that. That was a rumor. That was Going around that UNC was like, she can't be anywhere.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Oh, I saw that too.

[Fran Mariano]

The facility, they did make a statement that said like, she's welcome at camp on campus and blah, blah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

But I don't as a student.

[Fran Mariano]

They want her, you know, in the locker room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we can jump into that, but we'll kick it off first with the Real Housewives of New York.

[Grace Ann Nader]

An OG Real house in New York? Ramona.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Sonia Luann. Those girls, I think are like prime reality tv.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Of all the housewives, I thought they were the best.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. Truthfully, they were so good. And then you know what, it's just like sometimes you do watch, but it's in the prime. It's so good. Towards the end it was like, this is right? And a little bit tough.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

And like, how many times can you watch them just like pee yourself?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

And you're like, oh, no.

[Grace Ann Nader]

No.

[Fran Mariano]

And then they, they rebooted the show. Whole new cast and it seemed like a good idea. I really, I personally really liked the first season. I watched it the second season.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Right.

[Fran Mariano]

Got a little. Got a little dark.

[Grace Ann Nader]

It did, right? There were some crazy fights that got really Got dark. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

And I think maybe they didn't quite know how to move on from that because last week Bravo announced, like, hey, all these shows are in production, so they're not on the list.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Oh, okay. So that's. It's canceled.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, but they said it's not canceled. Do you think they're recasting it right now?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Do you think they're recasting?

[Fran Mariano]

I think they're. Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, they must be.

[Brooks Nader]

They've got to be making some changes, having a few additions or.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

Something to change the mix.

[Fran Mariano]

I think that maybe they'll keep a few of them, but I think they're going to have to give it a little bit of a lift. They definitely tried to go younger, which makes a lot of sense.

[Grace Ann Nader]

It's kind of funny because aren't.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I mean, not that I have any position to say anything, but aren't none of them actually married? For the most part.

[Fran Mariano]

Some of them. There was a couple. I'm saying Jessel's married, Aaron's married. One, two, couple, three, four side. Maybe half married, half not.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Okay. I love the single. The single vegetation.

[Brooks Nader]

I love that, too. I think Brooke should be a housewife.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Babe, we have our own show.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

You act like a housewife. By the way. She's sauna cold, plunge stage with the boyfriend. I'm the fun, cool, hot girl.

[Fran Mariano]

There you go. There you go. Well, that's like. It's like, hey, you know, sometimes you. You watch these shows and you're like, yeah, no, they need to change it up. I think this was one that they needed to.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And I think timing for our show.

[Fran Mariano]

Exactly.

[Grace Ann Nader]

New York.

[Fran Mariano]

New York. Well, that's why I'm like, there's. There's a void in film of, like, young people out and about in New York.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Because they do have it for so many other shows. And then even with Summer House, it's just them going out to the Hamptons. You don't really get to see as.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Much in the city.

[Fran Mariano]

New York life.

[Brooks Nader]

Right.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

And even for them, it's like, okay, now what's next? Kyle Cook is 42 years old.

[Grace Ann Nader]

It's like, wait, how long that show been on?

[Fran Mariano]

Nine seasons.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Nine. Season nine.

[Fran Mariano]

I think it's season nine right now. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And it's been the same cast, right?

[Fran Mariano]

No, it's. It's.

[Brooks Nader]

It's changed.

[Fran Mariano]

Four or five have been there for a while. Season three is when, like, Hannah and Paige to Sorbo joins.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Okay.

[Fran Mariano]

And Paige is still on it. And then they've had new people come in and out the last, like few years, but they've kept some of the older. So it's a little bit of a funky dynamic now because they're trying to keep these older couples that are, you know, Amanda's man is my age, but like her husband is I think 10 years older than her. And Carl's I think, just turned 40. So like they have these old, interesting, older. I say like, they're. They're not old, they're just like older. And then they try and cast like 24, 25, 26 year olds.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Interesting dynamic.

[Fran Mariano]

And that's like, that's tough in a summer house.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. That's different pages. Yeah, definitely.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, I was obsessed. Still am. Love that show so much. In college, me and my girlfriends watched it every time it aired. Whatever. All of my college friends are still so into it. And everyone wants to see Lindsay go on Real Housewives.

[Fran Mariano]

Yes.

[Brooks Nader]

Who's. Which I think would be so interesting and so good.

[Fran Mariano]

She's really.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I don't want really mix up the crowds.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, she. And I think she will. I think they'll do something either surrounding her or like putting her into a scenario where there's other. More like contemporary.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Age appropriate. Like, you know, she just had a baby, so it's like.

[Grace Ann Nader]

So she's living in the house with all these people with a baby and a husband and everything.

[Fran Mariano]

She hasn't brought the baby yet. She just had the baby. But they are going to film a new season this summer. So she was like, oh, I don't know how much I'll be involved. Slash, like staying in the house because, you know, she does have it.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That's crazy.

[Brooks Nader]

Like threesomes going on in the next room and you can't really have a baby.

[Fran Mariano]

Exactly.

[Brooks Nader]

It's a lot going on.

[Fran Mariano]

They brought. They cast illegal. Sounds like they cast one new guy this season that has like brought a girl or multiple girls home every weekend. This guy Emeril, he has brought. Brought multiple. And the. The girls are like, not happy about it.

[Grace Ann Nader]

The girls that were featured, they signed the waiver.

[Fran Mariano]

No, no, they're not seen at all. They're the girls. The other girls house are like, dude, every week.

[Brooks Nader]

Right, Right.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. That's a revolving door. That part of the Hamptons. I'm.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, revolving.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Dora, were you ever a part of that rotation?

[Brooks Nader]

No, I was never involved in that rotation.

[Fran Mariano]

Okay, so it was a big weekend for Taylor Swift. You guys know a classic Friday news dump is like when you're trying to really get it hopefully it's forgotten as quickly as possible. So the news came out that she's being subpoenaed in the Blake Lively Justin Baldoni shitstorm that is their legal battle. But Taylor Swift must have. And she does. We know it has, like, the best publicist.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, she does.

[Fran Mariano]

Right away, a statement came out that said, Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie. She was not involved in any casting or creative decisions. She did not score the film. She never saw an edit or made any notes on the film. She did not even see it ends with us. Until weeks after its public release and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024. The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did. This document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift's name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I love that publicism so much. So much. And it's so true. I would be so annoyed. I'm sorry. With my friend, I'd be like, why did you involve me in this?

[Fran Mariano]

I know that's been the drama. It's like, are Taylor and Blake stuff still.

[Grace Ann Nader]

There's no chance.

[Fran Mariano]

Friends.

[Brooks Nader]

I think that would have. That would end it for me.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. I would be like, why did you do that's so shy.

[Brooks Nader]

Like, you've absolutely lost your marbles.

[Fran Mariano]

And she did refer to Taylor Swift as one of her dragons. I don't know if you guys saw that.

[Grace Ann Nader]

There was a text, right?

[Fran Mariano]

There was a text.

[Grace Ann Nader]

You don't want to go up against me.

[Fran Mariano]

There was a text. Yeah, there's that. She has. She's referred to herself as Khaleesi, and she has her dragons and her dragons.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Okay, that's. So.

[Fran Mariano]

I think that alone. I'd be like, what the.

[Brooks Nader]

That alone don't reflect. Refer to yourself as Khaleesi.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That's so bad.

[Brooks Nader]

That is so bad.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, so it's been. It's been tough. And Taylor Swift is the God parent of three of Blake and Ryan's kids. So I'm like, I don't know. You kind of have to, like, try and work it out, I think.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I mean.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, I think it's so embarrassing to be like, this is one of my dragons. And then that statement come out, and she's like, no, I'm not. I don't have nothing to do with it.

[Fran Mariano]

And now they're like, hey, you may. You May have to go to court.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I would be so pissed if I had to appear in court.

[Fran Mariano]

I would.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Honestly. It's kind of like, what's a good. Like when Kate Moss was in like the Johnny Depp trial and she's like, hi, why am I here? And then what's another example? Who is the other. Oh, the ski thing with that was. She's like, I lost half a day of skiing.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Like, what is Taylor Swift going to lose while she's sitting in this trial?

[Fran Mariano]

Right. She's like, there's literally no reason for me to be here. I did nothing. I have no involvement. I don't know.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That's a great statement by that.

[Fran Mariano]

Right? Like, it's just like, wow.

[Brooks Nader]

Gave me goosebumps.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. That's. That's how you do it. And. And she also knows that that's how you do it. You do it on Friday at 3pm so. So when everyone's already moving on and then they're. Taylor and Travis haven't been seen too much. They've sort of been laying low, people have said. But they were seen at a restaurant in Philadelphia for a little Mother's Day meal brunch. They were with Donna, Kelsey and Jason and Kylie, it seemed. And it's just so nice. Sweet and wholesome.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Love to see that.

[Fran Mariano]

Right.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I love that too. And then meanwhile, she's being subpoenaed. It's like, yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

But she's got time to see her. Have you guys seen his hair recently?

[Brooks Nader]

I would love to see.

[Grace Ann Nader]

No, I don't keep up with those two, but I want to get.

[Fran Mariano]

I want to show you that picture. So this was them at lunch and he's got this very long hair. Do we like it? I. People are like, skeptical on it.

[Brooks Nader]

I kind of like, I'm into that.

[Fran Mariano]

Yes.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I like the long hair and I.

[Brooks Nader]

Like the facial hair.

[Fran Mariano]

Same.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, I think it's hot. I think.

[Fran Mariano]

I know it's a good. I think it's pretty impressive that he can like, go from having a buzz cut to have hair like this.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. I wonder what. I take that. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Pretty quickly, right? You're like, damn, his hair grows faster than. He's got great hair.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah, yeah. Off season hairdo.

[Fran Mariano]

I know, I know.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Fashion moment.

[Fran Mariano]

What's like if you guys start dating somebody? So obviously she's now involved with the Kelsey's and they're out doing family events and stuff. When's like the earliest you're like, okay, we can do family events.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, I mean, I started doing family events three months In.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, yeah, they have. Her boyfriend's family has, like, a really close, fun dynamic, and they're always together.

[Brooks Nader]

Right.

[Grace Ann Nader]

So it's like. It's like, hours.

[Brooks Nader]

It's important.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

You know, it's much easier to jump into that dynamic if you come from a really tight family.

[Fran Mariano]

Yes.

[Brooks Nader]

Because you're like, of course we're gonna spend every day with your family.

[Fran Mariano]

What else will we do? You know, I think that's why Taylor and Travis also work so well, is because I think they do kind of have similar family family dynamics of, like, super close. One sibling.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Like, close. With their parents. Both their parents are divorced, but, like, I think they're similar. Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

They're always together.

[Fran Mariano]

Right.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Like. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

That's really, like. They get along really well.

[Brooks Nader]

Perfect.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. They.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I feel like they're definitely getting married. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I hope so.

[Grace Ann Nader]

They will for sure.

[Fran Mariano]

Do you think she'll have a giant ring or something? Like, something.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I bet you. Classy and vintage.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Like, the Queen of England's, like, old ring.

[Fran Mariano]

Right, right, right.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Y.

[Fran Mariano]

Crazy.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I. I see that for her, something.

[Fran Mariano]

Really cool like that.

[Brooks Nader]

I'll do something kind of rogue and get a sapphire. Some other crazy jewel, you know, I feel like that's kind of in these days.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, I could see that.

[Fran Mariano]

I could, like, see her doing, like a. Like a Kate Middleton, like, emerald.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Are you a huge swifty or.

[Fran Mariano]

No, she's a sapphire. I think I am. I am, like. Like, my sister is nuts. I love her. Big, big, big fan. I definitely would say I'm a swifty, but then there's like, Swifty.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

There's like.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

I was not a swifty. And then I went to the concert in October, and I'm. Now I'm a swiftie.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

She's such.

[Fran Mariano]

I mean, it's hard to deny. It's hard to deny after watching that show.

[Brooks Nader]

And when you hear her music, you can't just get a little bit fired up or feel something.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I love her music. I do. I like. I don't, like, choose it if I'm on ox, but, like, if I'm having a day, it comes on. Yeah, if it comes on, it comes on.

[Fran Mariano]

You're happy about it, which is all we can take.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Exactly.

[Fran Mariano]

You guys know it. If you see me or Rhea in a hat, you know, we're wearing 47 hat. I got my Eagles one in my hand right now. This is a great. Just classic style. Love it. A good baseball hat. They're classic fit. Honestly, what's better than a good baseball hat? And 47 has the best hats. Such great quality. You're getting premium license headwear. And it's not just headwear. They have some great Apparel as well. 47 has new drops launching constantly for your favorite leagues and teams. They are known for their headwear, but like I said, amazing apparel options available for your favorite league and favorite team with a variety of silhouettes to find your fit. I've got, you know, a classic style on right now, but I love the Hitch style of the 47 hats. I think I have, like every eagles hat that they make in the Hitch style. It is my favorite. My go to anytime I'm headed out running errands on the pot or, you know, one of those days where you're like, hey, I just. Hair is not cooperating. I need a hat or to elevate an outfit. Sometimes the hat just takes the outfit to the next level. It's always going to be a 47 hat because they look the best. You can shop 47brand.com now and use code CITO for 20% off your purchase. Okay. I don't know if you guys have seen any of this. There's been a lot of Cyrus family drama.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I did see all of that.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. In the last like maybe year or so. Quick summary, I would say is like, it almost seemed like some Billy Ray had married. I think a younger.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yep.

[Fran Mariano]

Girl. Yeah. And that just like became a disaster. I think they. When they split, it was really bad. But I think he was kind of estranged from the kids during that. And the family. Like, some of the kids went. Were friends with Billy Ray. Some went Tish. And then it was like very divisive. It looked like they were picking sides. And then one of the sons, not that long ago, a few months ago, put out like a public thing. Like, dad, like, you're. You're an alcoholic. Yeah. Like, they were like, you. This is. You're in a bad shape. Like, yeah, they were like, it's so bad that we. I've reverted. Like I have to gone public because we can't like behind closed doors help. You don't ever do that. Yeah, right. Like, it's that recently that it was so bad that they had to do that. And then last week, I guess Tish accidentally followed Miley somehow.

[Grace Ann Nader]

People will just take any little thing, I guess.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, I mean, yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I'm telling your daughter. Wasn't it an accident?

[Fran Mariano]

Apparently an accident. Miley did. Miley never like comments on stuff. Her social media is like, she uses for promo for her.

[Grace Ann Nader]

She looks so good. I'm fucking obsessed with her lately. I can't get over it.

[Fran Mariano]

Ru. Wait until you see. I. I got to watch a preview of the visual album that she has coming out for this. She has a whole new album coming out the end of the month, but she did a full oh, my gosh. Album for it.

[Grace Ann Nader]

She.

[Fran Mariano]

The fashion.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Her outfits are insane.

[Fran Mariano]

Dancing.

[Grace Ann Nader]

The Alia body.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, the Aliyah. Believe me, it's all in there. It is unbelievable. I was gasping for air, and she.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Like how you're watching it come. Not that she didn't. Like, she wasn't always back, but why did she have this, like, new rebrand? I don't know. It's so.

[Fran Mariano]

I. You know, it seemed like she finally.

[Grace Ann Nader]

She.

[Fran Mariano]

She did a little Q and A, and I had talked about it last week, too, but she seems like she's in such a great spot. She's had this boyfriend now for a while now that I think has been great for her, and they have been working on music together, but she really doesn't comment on a lot of this stuff. And then she said my. I rarely comment on rumors, but my mom and I are too tight for anything to ever come between us. She's my best friend. Like a lot of moms, she doesn't know how to work her phone and somehow unfollowed me. Simple, coincidental, and uninteresting. My dad and I have had our challenges over the years. Now in my 30s, family is my priority above all else. I'm at peace, knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing. Grateful for the good health and love that flows through my family. That's a great thing.

[Brooks Nader]

That's great.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And Billy Ray is dating Elizabeth Hurley, which is insane to me. Sorry. Someone made a comment that I thought was so funny. It's, like, kind of mean. Someone goes, does Elizabeth Hurley know that she's Elizabeth Hurley? Like. Like, someone need to remind her, I.

[Fran Mariano]

Think, like, her last few boyfriends, I think she's had to be reminded of that. Really? Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Okay.

[Fran Mariano]

Because I'm like, there's, like, a previous one that everyone was like, wait, how is this person? Yeah, Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I mean, listen.

[Fran Mariano]

I mean, didn't Pete Davidson date Elizabeth Hurley for a second?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Probably.

[Fran Mariano]

Probably. I mean. Oh, no, it wasn't Elizabeth Hurley. It was Kate Beckinsale. Kate Beckinsale. Yeah, it was Kate.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Similar vibes. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. Wow. I know. And then for Mother's Day, Billy Ray posted on his Instagram honoring mothers in his life. He talked about his own mom, and then he wrote, I'm so proud of Miley and her guts and her courage, her wisdom and strength to bring it when our family needed it most. We are so close to a full healing. We have all been through a lot on this Mother's Day. I would like to testify a couple of facts. Still very much believe in the power of prayer and respectfully ask if you do also and have an extra prayer for the Cyrus family. I humbly would accept. So. And then he wrote a little thing about Tish. He said, tish Cyrus was and is the very definition of a strong mother. Trust me, I'm the first to admit being married to me was not easy. I'm very good at making mistakes. A very imperfect man. But thank goodness somewhere along the line my mama also taught me life is a series of adjustments. So just said full circle.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That's nice.

[Brooks Nader]

I love to see it. I love family that I feel like us and a lot of people have watched from childhood and they've always had such a family vibe. So I love to see it, especially in Hollywood where it's so hard to stay.

[Fran Mariano]

And like it really did seem that it's tough when it feels like some kids are team mom, some kids are team dad.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That must suck so badly. Yeah. I feel like all the guys I date are like dads and they have those baby. Not babies.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

No, there's been people I've dated that have kids.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. Yeah. No, it's tough. It's hard. It's really hard. And I mean, I said maybe Elizabeth Hurley has been a great influence on him. I wouldn't.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I mean, that was a great statement.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah, maybe.

[Fran Mariano]

So it's like maybe. And now he's got a full blown dating Elizabeth Hurley, which is wild. The last one, last topic is Bill Belichick. He attended the Miss Main pageant because Jordan was participating in the event.

[Grace Ann Nader]

How old is she?

[Fran Mariano]

She is 24.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Really? She gives the attitude of such an. Like not a 24 year old. The way she takes control of those.

[Brooks Nader]

Right.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That's like the bit she.

[Fran Mariano]

She must be an old soul.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Right. I thought she was like 30. Not based off looks. Based.

[Fran Mariano]

No, 24. She's only 24. And like. And she's making those business moves. Like I don't know if you saw, but right after this she was buying houses in Massachusetts. Multiple. She's rented them out. She's a landlord. She's like crazy.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Wow. I mean, I love a hustler. Listen.

[Fran Mariano]

I know.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Go off.

[Fran Mariano]

She did fall short of becoming Miss Maine. She placed third on Sunday. She Came in second in the contest last year and came in third this year.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Coming first in life, I guess.

[Fran Mariano]

I know.

[Grace Ann Nader]

A real estate agent or.

[Fran Mariano]

I know, right? At what point, though? Like, I don't know. The pageant. The pageant life. I don't really fully understand. Do you guys.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I was gonna say you today competed.

[Brooks Nader]

In Miss Teen Louisiana. 20.

[Fran Mariano]

I was just.

[Grace Ann Nader]

No, I didn't. That wasn't me. That was my alter ego.

[Brooks Nader]

And I was bound to have been.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I did one pageant when I was 15, and you're so not.

[Brooks Nader]

You're.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I don't like you anymore.

[Fran Mariano]

You are. The photos have to be somewhere.

[Brooks Nader]

The photo is a photo.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

There's many photos.

[Fran Mariano]

Did you win?

[Grace Ann Nader]

No.

[Brooks Nader]

Top 16. She got in the top 16.

[Fran Mariano]

Remember that, Grace Anne.

[Brooks Nader]

She was. And I remember the girl that beat her, and I was like, should have won. She's way better, way nicer.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Well, you know what, Grace?

[Brooks Nader]

I still am heated about it. I just think you should.

[Grace Ann Nader]

She does still hate the girl who won. And I'm like, oh, my God. She has four kids and lives in Louisiana. Let her live. Like, everyone. It all works out.

[Brooks Nader]

I can't. I'm hung up on it. I'm sorry.

[Fran Mariano]

But, like, isn't that something that it's, you know, you do when you're 15, 16, especially in the south, 24 years old. I don't know. I don't. I don't want to insult, like, the pageant community. I'm not familiar with.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

How that.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Clearly, I'm not even win. So I don't really know much.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

So it does seem kind of wild to me.

[Fran Mariano]

I know.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I feel like she's such an interesting gal.

[Fran Mariano]

I get why so interesting.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I get why people are talking about her. I mean, like, isn't her type. Older. Older. Older guys, though. I saw something about this is her ex. And he was also.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, clearly, apparently.

[Fran Mariano]

But I think it wasn't, like, as old as bill, right?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. Bill.

[Brooks Nader]

73.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Oh. I mean, that's my grandpa's age.

[Brooks Nader]

When you go into the 65 and older category, it's just a whole new level.

[Fran Mariano]

What's the. What's the number we're cutting it off at?

[Brooks Nader]

I think it's you.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I mean, you have a boyfriend that's like 28, so you have no room to talk.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

So shut up.

[Brooks Nader]

But I think I.5/plus is a new category where it's like, oh, my gosh.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I just feel like there's no reason because Brad Pitt's in his 60s. There's no. You can't really say or put a, like, limit in his. Yes.

[Fran Mariano]

Brad Pitt is 60.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Maybe 60 or 61. Maybe he is. It's all about how you look.

[Fran Mariano]

61.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, 61.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, he looks amazing.

[Grace Ann Nader]

So that's what I'm saying.

[Fran Mariano]

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper are 20 years apart.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I love an age gap. I only gaps. I don't think there's any, like, any limit. Well, okay. I think there's a limit. My dad rule is crazy. I don't want to call your next husband sir. I don't want him to be my dad's good rule. So he goes, I don't want your next guy to be older than me. I came really close, actually. I had his age, exact age. So our new joke to my dad is we're like, can we actually. We don't. Like your friends. Can we have your mentors? Because they're actually 60 and they're more our type. And he's like, this is such a disgusting joker, father.

[Fran Mariano]

He goes, please don't let your next.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Husband be older than me. I don't think they'll be older than him. I like 40s, 50s.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, I don't mind an age gap, but I do think you don't want your husband to be in a wheelchair at your kid's soccer game.

[Fran Mariano]

Exactly. That's how I feel.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Or you do.

[Fran Mariano]

No, you definitely don't definitely do it. I do, too. It's like, okay, then your kid also, not to be harsh, but your kids, like, not going to have a parent for that long.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, it is true.

[Fran Mariano]

If you do want to have kids.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, right.

[Fran Mariano]

It's obviously different for everybody. Some people don't want to have kids. That's the case. Fine. And you are fine with dating somebody 40 years older than you are. Okay.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Is that the gap between them? 40 years?

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, 50, it's.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Oh, my God, it's 50. Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

I mean, that's crazy. It's also just like, she's 24, he's 73.

[Grace Ann Nader]

It's also like, think about it like this. My dad's 50. It'd be like his next girlfriend being born right now.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That's disgusting.

[Brooks Nader]

Like, being a baby, I mean, that's insane.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That's really gross to me. I'm sorry. It is.

[Fran Mariano]

But when you think about your parent, like, when you're like, oh, God, I know my dad.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Like, I think about his kids being like, they must just be like, what the.

[Grace Ann Nader]

How old are his kids?

[Fran Mariano]

50S, 40s?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

That's so It's a grandpa, you know, like. Right. Yeah, I know.

[Brooks Nader]

To be dating someone that was partying in the 70s is like, kind of crazy.

[Fran Mariano]

Right.

[Brooks Nader]

You know?

[Fran Mariano]

Right. And like, really just taking over his life in every aspect. Like, runs the business. I think they just made up his kids, like, enterprises is now like a.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Thing that she kids like. Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop.

[Fran Mariano]

I. Nothing has come out about it, but I can't imagine that they wouldn't.

[Brooks Nader]

Right, right.

[Fran Mariano]

You know, like.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Especially because they seem to be close enough. You know, this. Bill was taking. The rumor was he was taking this job at UNC because it was going to, like, open the door for his son to become the next coach at unc. It was like a step. It was like, oh, we'll bring Bill here, and then, like, his son can become the next coach. So they are close enough.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Right, Right.

[Fran Mariano]

And that feels like I, you know, I'm calling my dad being like, what's. You're not coming to Christmas? Like, what's going on?

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, definitely.

[Fran Mariano]

You're out.

[Grace Ann Nader]

There's got to be checks about your mother.

[Fran Mariano]

That's so true about what your dad said too. It's like, if you're bringing up somebody and he's like, oh, nice to meet you, Mr. Belichick.

[Grace Ann Nader]

No, literally, my dad was like, my only rule, like, please.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. They'd be saying, Mr. Like, I. We gotta be on a first name basis.

[Grace Ann Nader]

And he's like, the only thing is, is like, prior to Gleb, like, whoever. I was saying my dad, like, they all get the same movie references, like, and they have the same humor because, like, I don't get it. But they're shooting the. And I'm like, yeah, okay, whatever. So.

[Fran Mariano]

Right. You like an older guy.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I do, yeah. Not like.

[Fran Mariano]

I know. No, no.

[Grace Ann Nader]

I mean, I. I don't like a 20. I'm a 28. I don't like a 28 year old guy.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Like, I just can't even take him seriously.

[Brooks Nader]

You like an older guy. I think I'm the only one that doesn't. That isn't. Doesn't prefer an older guy.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, yeah. You're a whole different beast.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Grace Ann Nader]

With your type.

[Fran Mariano]

Well, there you go. And you know what? You got your person and. Yeah, exactly.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah. It's like, she's good.

[Brooks Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Look. Yeah, I feel you. Okay.

[Brooks Nader]

But I think.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Brooks Nader]

I think a lot of girls our age do like older guys these days.

[Fran Mariano]

My husband's one year older than me, so it's not like the same age.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

It's so fair. But I just, like, once it gets to that point too.

[Grace Ann Nader]

Yeah, that's way too much for me. I couldn't do that one. Like, at the end of the day, like, I know so many girls and models or friends of mine are, you know, acquaintances that, like, this is going to sound so harsh and mean, but they can date like a really old, really unattractive rich guy because that's just their mo. Yeah, I can't. I have to be attracted to the guy with. Hence why I dated Gleb. Yeah, I have to have like, someone that I'm attracted to. Like, Right, Right. There's no, like, I, I tried to be like, come on, you could do it. But nope, I just can't. I have to actually like you. There you go.

[Fran Mariano]

I think that's so fair. Chicks in the Office is sponsored by Better Help.
