That's where we're at. Just rain, rain, rain.

[Rhea]

Just a reminder, our New York City show is Thursday night at Town Hall. We still have tickets on sale. Jesse from Mormon Wives will be there. There's a lot of drama going on.

A lot of drama.

[Rhea]

So we will be talking about that. So just a reminder, tickets are still on sale. If you feel like you want last minute plans grab hang out. It's gonna be a great time.

[Fran]

I'm feeling like the delayed tired. You know, I feel like I had a little bit more pep in my step on Monday because I'm like still moving. But then Tuesday, Tuesday is The worst day of the week. It's.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I could agree with that.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I could get on with that for sure.

[Fran]

Like, Monday, You're. You're still coming off the weekend. You're. You're thinking about what happened. Maybe you're laughing with your friends, reminiscing. You're like, hey, oh, you forgot to. You forgot to send the pictures you took. And you're talking about how much fun you had over the weekend. You know, you're ready to start the week. And then Tuesday is just, like, not even close to the weekend.

[Rhea]

Right. But then it flies by after Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. There's a radical.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just, you know, there's three more days. Someone sent me a little olive pillow to the office. I don't know who sent it.

[Rhea]

I was wondering, maybe you just bought that yourself to jazz up the couch.

[Fran]

No. No notes.

[Noah]

Show it to the camera.

[Fran]

No, nothing.

[Noah]

It's not on camera right now.

[Fran]

Oh. Oh, there it is. It's a little olive pillow.

[Rhea]

So cute.

[Fran]

I could have taken the tag off. I didn't do that.

[Rhea]

We'll do it after, but I thought.

[Fran]

We can leave it in the studio. But it was. It just said my name, and there was really nothing else in it, so.

[Rhea]

That's very nice.

[Fran]

I know.

[Rhea]

So whoever sent that.

[Fran]

So whoever sent it, thank you so much.

[Rhea]

Very, very.

[Fran]

And now we'll have a little.

[Rhea]

I thought you just brought that to jazz up the place.

[Fran]

I just added a new pillow into the mix.

[Rhea]

Didn't say anything.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no. That was good. I been taking Olive to, like, go obedience training. Like, you know, dog training. Obedience training. She's thriving. Teacher says she's so smart.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Just like her mom.

[Fran]

She's a genius. Oh, but know that. So that's good. But it's, you know, it's. It's hard work, like they say. Yeah, it is hard work. Gotta keep at it.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Practice. But no, she's good. I was so excited to see her and, like, snuggle. I could have literally sobbed last night. I was laying on the couch watching tv, and I'm. I'm, you know, like, on my back, but, you know, obviously, like, head turned to see the tv and Olive was next to me, but, like, more towards my feet. And she got up. She's just, like, stretched and yawned and slowly walked over to me and, like, truly got as close as she possibly could into the inside of underneath my arm and just plopped her head right on my. Right on my chest. Right here. Just right here. Just right Here. And went. And then just like. And then did a little deep sigh and I was like, ah, that's so. This is the happiest moment of my life. Oh, my God. It was the cutest thing ever. It's like, don't freak out, but it was so cute. Oh, she's the cutest. But, yeah, that's really all my life revolves around is, like, making sure that she's good. And, like, now we're busier, so we're delegating tasks.

[Rhea]

Yes, yes.

[Fran]

To just like. Like, Gia's watching her this weekend of a wedding, which will be a good. A good test. She is good with dogs.

[Rhea]

No, no, I trust you.

[Fran]

Yeah, absolutely. For sure. And, yeah, that's kind of it. What about you?

[Rhea]

Not much, really. I mean, yeah, nothing. I did really? Nothing.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

What was yesterday? Monday.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I did nothing besides went to the gym. Walked some more after that, and then I sat my ass on the couch and waited patiently for Love island to come on, which is just like.

[Fran]

It's a really Wish it was 8pm.

[Rhea]

I really wish it was 8am I really wish it WAS 8pm Totally even 7:30.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And I wish when we talked about it, like, we were on time because now, talking about Monday night's episode, we're gonna be behind. Because when people listen to this, it'll be Wednesday, and there will be already.

[Fran]

An episode on CIA. Yeah.

[Rhea]

Which feels like we're just behind when we're recapping on the. On the podcast. Besides, on Mondays, like, on Monday, Monday's.

[Fran]

Really the only time we can get it.

[Rhea]

Yeah, right.

[Fran]

Because even with no episode on Wednesdays, it's like, well, then there's still Thursday's episode, which we're gonna miss.

[Rhea]

But I do just want to add that my opinion on Ace is already changing, sadly on Monday. Yeah, on Monday, I talked about how I love Ace and I really don't want him to do something stupid. And then that's what he does on Monday night, which, you know, I don't like. I think if he explores too much, he's gonna end up with fucking nobody. Like, he's forgetting that also, the girls have to pick for sure, and there's a chance they do not pick him because he's.

[Fran]

Well, it's so frustrating because it seems like he has the right thoughts for other people's couples. Like, I like that he's clocking Jeremiah right now. I like that he's, like, a little iffy about it, you know, just cautious. And then I also liked what he said to Taylor about Alandria being like, hey, you know, if you, if you slow burn this too much, like she's gonna get somebody else. You gotta, you gotta step up your game. The whole thing. It's like, well, my God, look in the mirror. My. Like, what? He's giving great advice, but he's not taking the advice. He's. He's giving. But I also feel like he just doesn't really like, I don't know why he picked her.

[Rhea]

I don't know why he picked Amaya. And he picked Amaya and then was like, listen, like, whoa, whoa, whoa, don't get too excited. Which was just like kind of strange right off the bat.

[Fran]

It was, it was to do. It was.

[Rhea]

But then Amaya's reaction I felt was like a little over the top because yeah, they had just coupled. They literally just met that day. But then Ace was being a weirdo about like, yeah, not like he was like, okay, don't get too comfortable with me. But like how like she's trying to explore the connection. And then he's like, he doesn't like babe. He's like being called babe. Yeah, I legitimately was cackling, laughing, cackling when they had the second conversation at night and Amaya called him babe again accidentally. And she was like, so she was like, I'm sorry. I genuinely was laughing so hard because his face, he was just staring at her like so mad that she accidentally called him babe. Like it was just so.

[Fran]

It's just weird because it's happening. Multiple usages of babe. Right? Like, I think he got all freaked out because he asked her what she would call her previous partners and she had said babe. So I think like he took that as like, oh my God, she's moving way faster than me. But in reality, like she uses, yes, she called her old partner babe, but she also calls everybody else babe too. Like it's not like everybody babe exclusive to her ex partner. And then I thought it was like. And then Nick was just egging him on, being like, yeah, you're right, that is weird. Like, that's too much too fast. It's like, I'm sorry, I don't know, I fair for eight. Like if Ace like wants to set his boundaries and whatnot, okay. But I just thought it was like he, the first time was like, okay, I get it. But then it just seemed the way he was continued to harp on it was like, well now you just seem like you're pushing her away cuz you didn't like how the first conversation Went, so now you're just like. You're. Now you're like, okay, I'm done with you, you know?

[Rhea]

Yeah, it was. It really escalated very quickly.

[Fran]

It really did.

[Rhea]

And I just don't understand the game him and Shelly are playing.

[Fran]

Yeah, I don't either.

[Rhea]

And sadly, Austin had a good point.

[Fran]

He was right.

[Rhea]

Which was like, you know, we're all, like, shaking our heads, like, oh, why is Austin the one being, like, the one to shed some light on what's happening? But, like, it's true. It's like, you had your chance, bro.

[Fran]

You could have picked her, but you didn't.

[Rhea]

Why don't you just go for what you want? It's very confusing now. And Alandria's comments had me peeing my pants. She was like, he's Christopher Columbus. He's exploring all over the place.

[Fran]

Shelly was like, who? Who does he think he is? Dora?

[Rhea]

It's unbelievable. Like, seriously, some plus one liners there. I know.

[Fran]

I love Alandria Tukish. When she was, like, talking about Hoda and she was like, you know, she clearly just needs a friend. That's gonna be a little, you know, feed into the delusion a little bit. And I can do that. She's like, that can be me. I can do that for her.

[Rhea]

No, it was insane watching Huda bring up living together with Jeremiah, and then Jeremiah being like. Like, he was not in it. He was like, oh, Like, I would. You know, we would do long distance, and then. And then we'd move to same city, and then after we see how that was, then we would maybe break the lease and, like, live together. Like, he was like, there are steps before living together. And she goes back and she's telling all the girls, like, about living together, and they're like, he said that? She's like, yeah. No, no, no, no. He didn't say that.

[Fran]

Actually cracking me up too. They were like, oh, he didn't say that at all.

[Rhea]

He. His face looked terrified. I mean, now at this point, I'm watching just for this to explode open, because, wow, it's weird to watch. Like, they're weirding me out. And I know we've seen stuff like this in the past where, like, people get attached. I mean, like, Aaron Kaylor, like, we saw them get attached fast. All this. But, like, we're talking about moving in together.

[Fran]

Like, no, she brought up. She brought up their wedding. Yeah. Even in, like, as a joke.

[Rhea]

No, like, but, like, whoa.

[Fran]

You know, whoa. Even as a joke, you're like, whoa.

[Rhea]

Yeah, like, it It's.

[Fran]

It's like the other girls were like, look, there's moving fast in real life and everything moves fast in here. But I think they're moving faster. Even Love island time.

[Rhea]

They definitely are. And it's gonna burst, obviously. Like, something is bound to happen.

[Fran]

We need some. We need some male bombshells.

[Rhea]

Where are they? You know, we need some male bombshells.

[Fran]

I feel like they should have already come in already. Like, where are they?

[Rhea]

Right. You know, we need someone to do it up.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Because that doesn't happen yet. I guess Charlie.

[Fran]

But like, Charlie, I'm already forgot. I've. Charlie, like, I've already forgotten about. Because he's like so locked in with.

[Rhea]

Hannah, Alandra and Taylor. I'm not feeling the chemistry.

[Fran]

You don't think, like, I think they are trying.

[Rhea]

Maybe they're trying. Maybe it'll come, but I don't know. Yeah, like, I have this feeling and I think Taylor is really funny.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I feel like he's maybe not so into Alandra and maybe Alandra's not so into him. Like, I think they're both maybe need someone else to come in.

[Fran]

Yeah, they probably do.

[Rhea]

To sort of shake it up because, you know, slow burn and all, but like, yeah, I feel like we're not seeing the chemistry, you know, right off, right off the bat with these two. But I'm going to need Ace to clean it up because it's not looking good.

[Fran]

Yeah, no, for sure, for sure. I agree.

[Rhea]

It's not looking good.

[Fran]

You can't be, like, giving great advice to everybody else and then like, really up his own.

[Rhea]

And I do. Like, people are like, tell Ace to stay out of everyone's business. No, no, you know, we want people to be in each other's business on the show.

[Fran]

Yeah, you need the. You need the drama. That's the only reason there is drama, is when other people get into other people's business.

[Rhea]

Well, yeah, we need people in each other's business.

[Fran]

Like, I don't have to be all up in each other's space.

[Rhea]

The watchers of Love island who are like, oh, my God, he needs to mind his business. No, no, I don't want any of them to mind their business. I want them all up in each other's space.

[Fran]

I don't know, like, what program. Some of these, like 15 year olds think they're watching, but they literally just want to watch couples fall in love, whether it's real or fake, and have nothing else happen. Nothing else. Zero drama. They don't care. Like, no, they Just want. And they want everybody to fucking hold each other's hands and be nice to each other. And that's it. And that. You know what? That is a boring television show.

[Rhea]

It is a boring. That's not tv. No, that's like, you know, that's real life.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

So.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

You know, I was talking to somebody last night about the show and they brought up a great point where they were like, you know, Huda crashing out over a guy week one. Like, honestly, sort of relatable. You know what I mean?

[Fran]

For sure.

[Rhea]

Like, maybe not in this way, but like, people can relate to that, you know, getting. Getting your head all caught up.

[Fran]

It's not the first time it's happened.

[Rhea]

On the live or just in real life. You get all caught up on a guy you never even talk to. Right. What's the word I'm looking for? Like, faker than that or whatever. Is everyone acting like they're best friends or calling each other best friends?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Within four days.

[Fran]

Right, right.

[Rhea]

She's my best friend. She's my best friend. What?

[Fran]

Right, right, right, right.

[Rhea]

You guys don't know each other anything just yet.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You get like two weeks in. Starts feeling like a year.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You know?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Then it starts making sense.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Like all the. All of a sudden, like, they're all best friends right away. I'm like, no, no, no, you're not.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And maybe that's because I'm rooting for the drama.

[Fran]

No, definitely. I'm sure they all feel that way, though. You know, like they.

[Rhea]

Right. They get attached to people so quickly. There's really nothing else to do.

[Fran]

Yeah. So you don't have other friends in there to like.

[Rhea]

Right. You know, that's my best friend.

[Fran]

Yeah. You are my best friend. Because I can't talk to my actual friend.

[Rhea]

Right. Like, right now, you are my best friend.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Yeah, that makes more sense. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We're going to be talking about the Bachelor in Paradise Cast was released, some things going on with Miley Cyrus. She was on a couple podcasts. And then also a little, you know, confusing situation at the Beacon Theater on Friday where people were very disrespectful to Miley. Glenn Powell's ex girlfriend Gigi. Paris speaks out about their breakup and what happened there. We were all wondering. The Love island season 6 spin off trailer has been released and the judge dropped the Baldoni.

[Rhea]

Bachelor in Paradise cast has officially been released. There's some people returning, some people we haven't seen on the beach before. You know, Dale Moss, he's back in it. I thought he was gone from the Bachelor franchise. He is back. I think people have been waiting for this. We got Cat. You know, the last time she was on Bachelor in Paradise, she brought some drama. She's back there. The whole cast has been released.

[Fran]

Yep. So we have this is like, you know, the initial group that will be coming to the island first. We have Alex from Grant's season. We have Bailey from Grant season. Brian from Jen season. I don't. I could not place Brian for the life of me. I've never seen that, man.

[Rhea]

There are some people. I'm like, I don't remember you.

[Fran]

Dale, Claire season. Of course we know that. Hakeem from Gen season. Jeremy from Jen season. Jess from Joey season. If you remember, Jess is the one that I think looks literally exactly like Hannah Brown. Especially in this picture too. I mean, like, yeah, wow, twins. We got Jonathan from Gen season. I'm excited for Jonathan. I liked Jonathan a lot on Jen season. Justin from Katie season. He's back again. Justin's been on the beach a couple times. I feel at this point now too right. Kat, like you said, Zach season. She's back. We have Kyle from Katie season. Don't remember him at all. Think he was an early exit because he made a joke about it. They had them do like, like, almost like taglines in there. Do you see? The video was like, they did like, almost like housewives. Like Taglines like, I'm ready for the summer. But I love that. Like, Jonathan's was like, I'm a medium king looking for a big love like that. So it was like, we want.

[Rhea]

Yeah. I mean, they're doing what Love island does in their intros.

[Fran]

Yes. Lexi from Joey season. There's all that drama with Lexi when she left and all that jazz. Ricky from Gen season, Sam from Gen season. Really forgot about this guy. Really completely forgot that this guy existed until I saw his picture and that, ah, this Sean Booth motherfucker.

[Rhea]

Oh, my God.

[Fran]

Forgot about him. Then we have Spencer from Jen season and Zoe from Grant season. So that's the initial cast of people that'll be on the beach first. Then of course, you know, these. Oh, they always have ADD people in early as the season goes on. So July 7th, that's the date. Everybody's very excited. But yeah, mixed. Mixed reactions from the comments. Very fun. People being very funny about Dale.

[Rhea]

Well, of course, yes. Right. Themselves.

[Fran]

Sam. Why? Please. No Sam. And then like, I'll Cat too. But I'm excited to see Cat again. That should be interesting, I think.

[Rhea]

Did they release the oldies or.

[Fran]

No, no, that's. This is it. This is the list we have right now. Some woman commented Dale, period. Diabolical, period. Oh, man.

[Rhea]

Yeah, listen, it's gonna.

[Fran]

But the majority of. Grant, Grant and Jen. Right. Like Grant, Jen, a little bit of Joey.

[Rhea]

Yeah. It's just gonna be tough because I think this happened last year when Jen's season was on. Right?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

With Love island or. Whose season was it? Somebody's season was on at the same time. I'm pretty sure it was Jen's.

[Fran]

Cause Jen's was in the summer.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And right, because Jen's was in the summer. And then remember, she had to hightail it to Dance with the Stars asap.

[Rhea]

And it was just kind of tough at the beginning. So I feel like we might run into a similar problem. But like, it's.

[Fran]

It's actually good timing, I think. From where, like Love island will probably go for maybe one or.

[Rhea]

One or two more weeks. Yeah.

[Fran]

After that. Really. So not too bad.

[Rhea]

Right?

[Fran]

But yeah. Listen to this for a second. This is what they're.

[Caller 1]

I'm trading the bob.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

This is Love Island.

[Fran]

I'm trying to fall in love here. I may have caught footballs for a living, but catching cards, that's a natural talent. That one was Dale's. God, Dale's is so good.

[Rhea]

So why wasn't Andrew on there?

[Fran]

I think. I think I saw Andrew as like A spoiler of, like, I think he comes onto the beach later.

[Rhea]

Okay. That would make sense.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if he's part of the initial.

[Rhea]

Right. Initial wave.

[Fran]

I think he'll come in, maybe steal someone for a date, that kind of thing.

[Rhea]

You know, like bombshell.

[Fran]

See, Andrew is a bombshell. He is. He deserves to be a bombshell.

[Rhea]

My head is just like, gosh, need. I need a space from Love island at some times, but I just can't.

[Fran]

I know. Well, in the summer really does take over everything, because now it's Love Island. Plus Love Island UK is starting. And now we're gonna get this Love Island Spinoff Season 6 show.

[Rhea]

Well, we can talk right into that.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

There. A trailer was released for the Love island season six spinoff. Deep sigh. A breath before I speak about it.

[Fran]

Yeah. Trailer didn't do a review.

[Rhea]

I'm gonna watch, obviously. Just seems a bit manufactured. Some of it. Like Kaylor yelling at each other about spray tans and glam. Like, it seems like fake fight that they've maybe been dragging on. Or maybe it's real to them. It could be real.

[Fran]

To be honest, I think that is actually a real fight because objectively, it is stupid for reality tv. So it's like, oh, the best that they could put in the trailer is them fighting over spray tan. It's like they must have really been fighting over spray tan.

[Rhea]

Right. Which I get. I don't know. Some of it just seemed manufactured to me.

[Fran]

No, I think it was like a. I don't know if it was maybe, like, the editing style. I think it was maybe the editing of it. Sort of like the editing of the trailer, because it is something that they haven't done before of, like, taking a Love Island. Like, I don't know if it was just our own brains having a hard time comprehending watching them, like, not in the villa. That makes sense. Maybe there was something about watching them out and about that I was like, this feels like Candid Camera. Like, I don't know.

[Rhea]

I was like the Sims back in their place.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah. I was like, this looks like almost like America's home movie. Like. Like, it was like they were. I don't know. It was weird. But then also, at some point, I was like, the cameras look so clear. I don't know why. I don't know. I was. I was torn about it as well. And it does seem like maybe there's already some drama with it, because the trailer certainly makes it seem like Kenny and Janae are maybe not on the same page, it was like really focused on Kenny not wanting to live together right now. And there was a couple other moments and they didn't really show anything else. For the two of them, that was like their big thing. And Janae wrote back to two people on Instagram on the post. I think she may have deleted them or if she left them up, I don't know. I can't imagine Peacock was thrilled with that. But someone commented, every scene feels overly produced. And I don't like how they're using Janae and Kenny's relationship to be messy this season when they barely showed them in the villa. That. That from you looks to be edited into that moment. That was a quote from Kenny that he was like, I just need some time. And then there was like a pause and. And it was like, from you. But you didn't see him say.

[Rhea]

He said, I need some. Some separation.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, from you. Yeah. So people were like, oh. Janae wrote back, thank you for clocking that. And then someone else wrote, so you barely show Kenny and Janae in this. And when you do, it's conflict. Get the fuck out. And she wrote back, see what I mean when I say they're messy? Messy af.

[Rhea]

So.

[Fran]

So we're already calling production messy before the show is even out. Yes.

[Rhea]

I feel as if production didn't really know what they were getting themselves into making a show about this cast and how fucking careful they would have to be. Because the fans of these people are literally the most ruthless fans I've seen on the Internet. And I'm saying even more so than your biggest celebs.

[Fran]

Yeah. Because you see everyone making. Wow.

[Rhea]

The after sun.

[Fran]

The after sun thing with Leah, that likes of Sophie mug making a joke. And everyone was like, the disrespect they have for Leah is out of control. And I was just like, I have nothing to say.

[Rhea]

I don't even know how they say.

[Fran]

Because this is out of. Out of control.

[Rhea]

I don't even know how they deal with it, though.

[Fran]

Like, yeah, I know.

[Rhea]

How do they deal with that amount of pressure from the fit.

[Fran]

I know.

[Rhea]

How old are these people? Sometimes I'm looking at these comments and I'm like, this has to be a 14 year old person.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

No, because, wow, they're like so crazy.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rhea]

I'm scared to even say that, honestly.

[Fran]

No, I know. Don't clip this.

[Rhea]

Don't clip this at all. It's like they're just ruthless.

[Fran]

Like, they're like, I know, it's crazy. It's really, really crazy. So. And they're, like, barely see how the.

[Rhea]

Show barely showed Janae and Kenny that it's like, it's a reality show. They want to feed off drama.

[Fran]

Like, and if Janae's writing back in the comments already, like, they're. They're gonna. The. The.

[Rhea]

They're gonna run with it. Yeah.

[Fran]

The fans are gonna. Are totally gonn. And of course, like, Janae. If Janae wants to be annoyed with how the trailer came out as her, she totally can be.

[Rhea]

For sure.

[Fran]

I think it'd be frustrating, too, if you're like, my relationship is good, and you're making it look like it's bad. So I don't know. There's no date yet on when it comes out. Just says coming soon, so we'll see how that goes. I will say intrigued to see Kayla and Aaron back on our screens. I'm not gonna lie. I did. I thought that was gonna be, like, my least favorite part of this show. And then watching the trailer, I was kind of like, damn, I kind of missed this.

[Rhea]

Why did I feel happy seeing Aaron on screen?

[Noah]

Same.

[Rhea]

Like, I like, it kind of warmed my heart a bit. It's like, I know sometimes when you reflect a little bit and, like, time passes, like, okay, Aaron was wrong.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But, like, the way people treated Aaron and maybe even us, Kind of extreme.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You know, like, we didn't have to go that hard.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You know, the guy disappeared off the. The face of the earth.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And now he's back.

[Noah]

I think that's the best thing that could. He could have done for this show is that he was like, he's been gone for a year right now.

[Fran]

I agree. I think that's. I think they needed that. Because as much as, like, people want to follow those winning couples who we all love and, like, want to see their journeys, it's good to have, like, a little single people drama thrown into the mix.

[Noah]

So what about Nicole coming back?

[Fran]

It also seemed like Aaron didn't say one word. He just looked like this the whole time in the trailer.

[Rhea]

So true. Maybe that's why. It's because we didn't see him speak.

[Noah]

Wait, I saw.

[Fran]

He just, like.

[Noah]

I saw a meme that was so funny. That was Kayla being like, so you haven't had sex since we were in the villa? And it was in. The caption was, like, lying in British. No.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah. No. Nicole coming back to talk with Kendall was interesting, too. I know there's a lot that's gonna be good to watch for sure.

[Rhea]

Right. I'M excited to watch it. I am excited.

[Fran]

It's just like, I don't know, it was like something about the. Something about the editing. I don't know what to put my hand. I can't put my finger on it exactly. It's not. Has anything to do with them. It was like the visuals.

[Rhea]

We're not used to seeing them. Like, yeah, I'm like, is that dress.

[Fran]

You're out in the wild. Even though I watch them on Social all the time. Right.

[Rhea]

But we're just used to seeing them like in the villa, like with cameras, like far.

[Fran]

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

I think we're just not used to seeing them on real reality and high.

[Fran]

Def, like in la, not real reality.

[Rhea]

Tv, but, you know.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

The only thing we love as much as you guys is delicious cocktails. We started our tour thanks to Rumhaven being a part of it.

So you can enjoy it any way you want. And head to rumhaven.com chicksintheoffice to learn more. Moving on. So Miley, she's appeared on multiple podcasts recently. Love listening to any interview she does. But first, I want to talk about the incident that happened at the Beacon on Friday. So it was announced that Miley was going to be premiering her visual album at the Beacon Theater in New York City on Friday night. And then afterwards there would be a conversation with Miley. This was on her site. And many people who bought tickets. The event sold out quickly. And many people who bought tickets, you know, upwards of 800. Yeah, like $900,000 went to the event thinking Miley would sing, and they realized she wasn't gonna sing. That's on them because online the event was very clear about what it was. And it was that it was a premiere of the visual Album with a conversation with Miley after. So people going there and screaming out loud while Miley's talking and being like, so you're gonna sing? Is like, crazy. So rude. So disrespectful. Obviously, Miley handled it with class and then just ends up singing the climb randomly because the guy was like, sing the climb.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And then she was like, you can know. Like, she just starts breaking out and.

[Fran]

She'S like, that's so true. Her face.

[Rhea]

Like, she's like, I know. Yeah. She's like, I'm gonna fucking sing the climb right now. As everyone shuts the fuck up.

[Fran]

No, she got it together very, very well. I heard.

[Rhea]

Wildly disrespectful people always are just like, give me, give me, give me. We want, we want, we want. It was very clear what the event was going to be. And, you know, that's. It's kind of on them.

[Fran]

It's so crazy to me too. Like, even if you are someone that paid $800 to go and you expected a con, like you expected a concert or you expected her to sing, I never in a million years would yell out loud to her like that. You know, Even if you're like, oh, my God, I can't believe this. It's like, there's no. There's no singing. It's like, for you to.

[Noah]

Obviously, if you love her that much, you're gonna yell.

[Fran]

Right? Like, it's like, if you're gonna spend $800 for her, like, clearly you're a fan, right?

[Rhea]

You wanna hear her talk in general.

[Fran]

Yeah. And you're just gonna be like, are you. Are you even gonna sing? It's like, what?

[Rhea]

Just excuse yourself from the theater then, like, if you're upset about what happened, just excuse yourself. And you could talk with your friends, like, wow, I thought she was gonna sing. And then you would see online. Yeah, that wasn't gonna be the case.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

You made a mistake on you. Right.

[Fran]

So look up the event again. You see the details. You're like, oh, fuck, I fucked up. But, like, you're not screaming at Miley. Crazy.

[Rhea]

Absolutely crazy. She didn't talk about it, though. She kind of said the event was amazing and kind of, you know, didn't bring any attention to what happened there.

[Fran]

Yeah. Which I'm glad she did too, because I think she was so excited for the visual album premiere and, like, doing it at the Beacon. So cool. Tribeca Film Festival, the whole thing. So I think she was able to enjoy that moment and kind of like, ah, write off those. Those Silly, silly people for doing that to her.

[Rhea]

Silly, disrespectful, rude as fuck.

[Fran]

Like, yeah, just out of control.

[Rhea]

Absolutely out of control. She's also done multiple interviews on podcasts. Not this one, but many other ones. She did one on every single album, which was so good.

[Fran]

So good. Like, truly. Must listen.

[Rhea]

It's a must listen. I listened to it Friday night before bed, and I was trying to get to bed early before our show Saturday, but I couldn't. I had to listen to this entire fucking thing. I mean, it's so interesting to hear the background, the stories behind every album, the. Behind every song, the songs we love, the songs, you know, that she likes or doesn't love. I love how open and honest she is about songs she likes and doesn't like. And even talking about Plastic Hearts and being like, I wasn't happy with the vocal production on that. Like, just being so open and honest, obviously, hearing about, you know, the bangers era and Dead Pets and all that. When everyone would judge Miley so harshly. Or even talking about Liam when she was like, we could talk about it. Like, you know, my relationship with Liam, the first time we split up, the house burning down Wild that she wrote about their house burning down before it burned down. And nothing breaks like a heart. Like, that's insane. She was like, it broke. The song was released. My house burned down a week later. Like, what? That's actually insane. Just so many interesting stories and tidbits. I can listen to her talk about anything. And obviously growing up with Miley and, you know, Hannah Montana being like, our icon, you never get enough of her talking about those early days.

[Fran]

You really can't. I could listen to her. I could have listened them talk about just like, meet Miley Cyrus for. For two hours, you know, I was.

[Rhea]

So excited to hear how much she loves East Northumberland High, because that is seriously one of my favorite Miley songs. And the driveway too.

[Fran]

I love that she loves to drive.

[Rhea]

And sometimes you would think if Miley were to ask me some of my favorite Miley songs and I named East North Northumberland High, she'd be like, what? But I don't think she would. I think she'd be like, I love that. Yeah, you love that song. You know, because. Seems like she does too.

[Fran]

I think so. I think so, definitely. And I love just like, just hearing that behind the scenes of making those songs then and what she was thinking of. And they're a little, little couple Nick Jonas moments, you know, which for all us Nilee lovers. And so there she was like, Natalie forever. It's like, yes, Natalie forever. And, like, you know, songs that she talking about writing a song, it's like her and Nick, Josh brothers were getting their moment, and then now he was going on tour and she was like, why can't. Why can't I go with you? Like, it was just so great, like, crazy and. And funny hearing about all those moments from the time. But, yeah, she talked about the driveway too, and, like, saying that she loved. God, I always mess up her last name. But Natalie, she sings Torn. And Torn is such an iconic song. She was like, I was so obsessed with that song. And then if you listen to that and, like, you hear it in the driveway, which is really cool. And she's just such an expert at her craft. She really is. So hearing how all the different sounds have evolved and, like, different albums she's wanted to do and how she's had to deal with different management and different record labels, and the marketing plans don't line up with maybe what she wanted it to be, and all these things is just so fascinating. And loved. Just loved hearing her go through the whole thing. And then she also just went on Monica Lewinsky's podcast called Reclaiming, and it talks a lot about family life, which is been a hot topic recently with the Cyrus clan and who's fighting and who's not fighting and who's talking to Billy.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

Who's not talking to Billy. Right. And all these things. And she did just kind of, you know, bring up how they've. They've. They seem to have moved past over like a decade of, you know, family drama and issues and whatnot, and having just kind of like, break through that wall and be like, we gotta. We gotta move on from this and everything and her making some of those moves. So it's very fascinating to listen to.

[Rhea]

It is really interesting because I feel like people are always interested in what's going on in their family life, especially who. Who's on the dad side, who's on the mom's side. Why can't we all be on each other's side and kind of bring the family together? Which seems like the point that they are at.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

And maybe Miley had a big hand in helping that. Which is very beautiful because at the end of the day, it is both her mom and dad, so.

[Fran]

Exactly. It's officially an Abercrombie summer. The A and F vacation shop has everything you need when you are packing for any kind of trip this summer. From swim to denim shorts, vacation dresses, everything you need. Abercrombie is just doing the packing for you, making it so easy by just going to the Vacation Shop collection.

So you got those fun colors. You can really have a lot of fun with it this summer. So have an Abercrombie summer shop. The newest arrivals in store online and in the app.

[Rhea]

Moving on. I've been dying to know what happened. I know a lot of people are. When Glen Powell was filming Anyone but yout in Australia with Sydney Sweeney, it was announced that him and his girlfriend Gigi Paris broke up. And they had been together for a while and they broke up. And everyone was like, what happened? Is it because of Sidney? And da da da da da. Well, Gigi Power spoke about the breakup publicly, and she said that she was gonna visit Glen Powell and had everything set. And Glen was like, no, no, no. Production doesn't think it's a good idea if you come visit me.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, she was. She went on the Too Much podcast and she said she received a phone call from Glenn telling her not to visit him on set. She said, it's pretty insane. I got a phone call from right when I was about to go to Australia to work. I had my visa. That took much longer than I anticipated while all this shit was coming out on the Internet and I had jobs lined up. She also said she was ironically going to shoot Bridal. He called and said, the producers and I have discussed that I think it's best that you don't come to visit Gigi, who never explicitly names Glenn or Sweeney during the interview. She then says, and that's why I hung up. She added. And I was like, this motherfucker is done with me. I think that's where I just also fell out of love. I was like, where the. Where the fuck are your balls to stand up for yourself? She flew to Australia anyway. I went anyways just to look him in the eye and break up with him. But then I was stuck there for two weeks doing my jobs. And there was a rule, like, I was not allowed near set. I was not allowed anywhere near production. It was very bizarre. She revealed that she broke up with Glenn as soon as she got to Australia. Said it was emotional. Said it was just. It was just our goodbye. So there was lots of tears, there was lots of things. Lots of conversations were had, and we tried to keep it on good terms in some sort of way. Yes, that's pretty crazy. Of course, that that's. She's now sharing this. It's crazy. But at the same time, this does kind of feel like the missing puzzle piece in that whole story of, like, when they were together. We didn't know that Gigi and Glenn had broken up. It was like, everyone kind of thought it was like, oh, well, she's engaged and he has a girlfriend. So, like, what's going on here? Then? There was cheating rumors and all this, but at the end of the day, it sounds like she went down there and down under. Down under and ended it right away. It is, of course, interesting to hear her say, quote, unquote, production, because we know that Sidney did play a large role in that part for this film, so. And Glenn has kind of made comments of like, ah, the marketing genius that Sydney Sweeney is and whatnot. Which then just makes me want to know more about, like, what those conversations were like behind closed doors of them being like, no, we. We're. We are selling this story in order to sell this movie. And your girlfriend being on set would really fuck that all up, so she can't come, right?

[Rhea]

That is wild. And then for Glenn to just go along with it and not be like, wait, no, guys, like, my girlfriend's gonna come visit, right? He's just, like, listening to, which is.

[Fran]

Like, obviously it shows that they were not, like, meant to be in that sense. Because I do think if you find the right person, like, you're gonna stick up for them in that sense, 1,000%.

[Rhea]

Like, if he did not, right? If he really wanted her to be there, he'd be like, no, my girlfriend's fucking coming to visit.

[Fran]

So, right, the priority was obviously the movie, right?

[Rhea]

Something was off There. I'm shocked she's talking about it publicly, but, like, you know, power to her. It's, you know, it's what happened. So I feel like people were wondering, and now we got the answer. And it was like, okay. Sydney Sweeney running a tight ship over there on production, huh?

[Fran]

Yeah, not really.

[Rhea]

Not letting any other girls near Glen Powell on production. Can't mess up the flow.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Crazy.

[Rhea]

Well, that is crazy. But I'm happy that we got a little inside scoop there.

[Fran]

Same. Same.

[Rhea]

I think we all probably would have forgotten about it, but now that it's brought back up, like, thank you for the.

[Fran]

Haven't been thinking about it at all.

[Rhea]

No, literally, haven't thought about it since they broke up. But happy we have an answer now.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

Last topic. The judge has tossed away Justin Baldoni's $400. 400 million $404 $400 lawsuit. $400 million lawsuit towards Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

[Fran]

Yep. This was obviously a big moment. Blake has shared about it on her story. Like, she posted something about it. It's been all over Social and the news. But Judge Lewis Lyman Lemon Lyman granted the motion to dismiss the actor's January countersuit as well as his 250 million. $450 million against Blake and Ryan. And then it was 250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times. About that initial article that came out, the judge wrote that Baldoni and his Wayfarer Studios production company, quote, have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her California Civil Rights department complaint, which are privileged. Lively, notably, obviously, this is continues. The article made headlines when she filed that initial complaint in 20December 2024. The judge explained that Baldoni's lawsuit alleged that that Reynolds and publicist Leslie Sloan made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer partner parties engaging in a smear campaign. However, the judge continued, the Wayfarer parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloan or the Times would have seriously doubted those these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law. Beloni's legal team has until June 23rd to amend their claims for breach of implied covenant, suggesting that terms agreed upon in their legal agreement were violated. And then so, you know, she also tortures interference with contract, tortious interference with contract, which is intentionally disrupting the relationship or contractual agreement between parties, potentially leading to significant financial damages and reputational harm. In a statement to page six. Baldini's lawyer, Brian Friedman. Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false. So let us be clear about the latest ruling. While the court dismissed the defamation related claims, the court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations. And, you know, he just continued on that his. The Lively's allegations are no truer today than they were yesterday. And with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle and look forward to her forthcoming deposition, which I will be taking. We are grateful for the organic show of support from the public, of course, and the dedication of the Internet sleuth community who continue to cover the case with discernment integrity. That rubs me the wrong way. I think when the lawyer likes is like thanking the. The Internet for putting that stuff out there. You know, I just, I don't know, I feel like that doesn't need to be said. But it's. That's the show that this guy's been putting on it, it seems like. Meanwhile, Lively's lawyers have been celebrating this decision as a total victory and complete vindication for the actress. In a statement to Page Six. The court saw right through this sham lawsuit was what they said. They're looking forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys who use trouble damages and punitive damages over abuse of litigation. So there we go. That's the full legal jargon of what. Of what went down. But yeah, I mean, of course, this has garnered mixed reactions from the public because those who support Justin feel very strongly one way. Those who support Blake think that this is a great thing. And at the end of the day, I mean, it's like if you take it through the legal system, it's like this is. This is what they decide. Right on. The judge was like this. We're not. I'm not going through with this one.

[Rhea]

It's very interesting.

[Fran]

Yeah, it is. It is. You learn a lot about what, defamation.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

That's why I'm like all these things.

[Rhea]

I don't have much to say because I'm still trying to register everything about it.

[Fran]

Right.

[Rhea]

You know?

[Fran]

Yeah. So reading all the details, like, okay, all right.

[Rhea]

Like, I'm just taking it in because I'm like, I, you know, I'm still trying to figure out what it all means.

[Fran]

So there's not a case got Right.

[Rhea]

Right. So this is. Was all.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

What. You know, so. Yeah, Very, very.

[Fran]

Certainly not. Not Any way.

[Rhea]

No.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

It's never going to be between these two. Never going to be over.

[Fran]

No, no.

[Rhea]

What?

[Fran]

Were you going to have something to say?

[Noah]

No, no, I was just going to.

[Fran]

Say that what a dramatic swing of the mic.

[Rhea]

You just might swung the mic the other way.

[Fran]

Adding to bear over there.

[Noah]

No, I just. I didn't think it was going to be worth speaking on. But then I was just going to say I felt like it wasn't as big of news as I thought it was going to be. Like, it came out and then I just feel like it was such a big thing in the news for so long and that was kind of like.

[Fran]

I think everyone. I just think everyone's so sick of it.

[Rhea]

To be honest, I sort of agree with you. It was like there wasn't that large of a reaction because I think it was the opposite.

[Fran]

Right. It's also not over.

[Noah]

It's not over.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Like, they'll continue to fight Blake for sure.

[Noah]

She did look extra happy on whatever carpet she was on that I saw last night.

[Rhea]

And her Instagram story. She was very happy.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So no, I do. And I really do think people are just like, pretty tired of hearing about this.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

Like, I saw the news too, and even just like the initial graphics posted on Instagram from all, like every entertainment outlet, it's like all the comments are like, can we be done with it?

[Rhea]

Yeah, I think everyone's in, you know, and it's.

[Fran]

And they're just. They're kind of over the story at this point, you know, which is crazy because it's obviously people's real lives.

[Rhea]

Right. Like.

[Fran]

Like it's a lot of people. Baldoni is still very much dealing with this and.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

You know, Blake and Ryan are very much still dealing with. And like now people were so fucking invested and we're like berating them at every point for both sides, really. And now everyone's like, bah, don't care.

[Rhea]

Yeah. They're like, all right, well, it's, you know, dismissed.

[Fran]

You're like, bored, boring, bored now.

[Rhea]

Oh, man.

[Fran]

Crazy.

[Rhea]

[Caller 2]

Guys, it's Victoria from Key West, Florida. I am confused why Dale Moss is on beach this summer. Because he's been dating daily Alex like a big tiktoker home designer for two years and I didn't know that they.

[Rhea]

Clearly they broke up.

[Caller 2]

But now he's been seen with Remy Bader. So I don't know what is going on when he had time for the beach between all the rumors, but I think he's just trying to stay relevant and stay needs to just find a job.

[Rhea]

Thanks. Bye.

[Fran]

I'm sorry for my immediate guffaw, but there's Dale Moss and Remy Bader rumors. No, there's not.

[Rhea]

No. I feel like I think they're friends. Yeah, I think they're just friends.

[Fran]

Dale and that girl have been broken up for a while. I will say not to be a Dale truther here, but I know for a fact that they. I remember seeing rumors that they broke up. I mean maybe, maybe even like a year. Like months and months ago.

[Rhea]

Yeah. And I feel like Remy has like openly addressed like I feel like this happened like months ago. Maybe like a year ago.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

People were like Remy Bader and Dale and she was like we're just friends. Something like that. Like why is that ringing a bell to me?

[Fran]

I don't. I don't know.

[Rhea]

But I have not seen recent Remy Bader and Dale Moss rumors.

[Fran]

No, I have not either. And I'm. That's what I was like. Also, there's a long list. I actually think that that makes sense for why Dale would be going to the beach if he's, like, dating around New York.

[Rhea]

Dating. Yeah.

[Fran]

He's. He's certainly saying. I actually think for him to be on the beach shows how single he is. Right. I agree.

[Rhea]

Right. Like, he's clearly on that beach.

[Fran]

I'm so single, I might as well go to paradise.

[Rhea]

Yeah, that's true. That is true.

[Fran]

And it's. It's. It's been just enough time for him where it's like, he was Talked about so much and everything he did was watched in the Claire relationship and the breakup and who he was dating after that and everything. And then it starts to quiet down. And maybe he's uncomfortable in that silence, you know?

[Rhea]

Yeah. Right. He wants people talking about him again. Wow.

[Caller 2]

Hi, and Fran, it's NYA from DC And Noah. Shout out to you, Noah. I have a bit of a hot take and a question. So I wanted to get into rewatching One Tree Hill, which I watched, like, back when I was in high school. And the hot take is I realized it is one of the worst shows to rewatch, period. And it was confusing because I loved watching One Tree Hill the first time around. So question is, what show have you guys absolutely loved and went to rewatch and you realize, like, kind of terrible and not just from, like, nostalgia sake, but, like, no, this is an actually terrible show. Thank you.

[Fran]

Oh, well, first of all, heartbreaking statement, because One Tree Hill just gets better and better to me every time I watch it. My opinion. I have my answer.

[Rhea]

I do, too. You go first.

[Fran]

Okay. You think it's probably the same.

[Rhea]

No, because I don't think you watched this or if we've talked about it.

[Fran]

Okay. So for me, I love it still. And, like, I will enjoy watching it, but the last time I did a Gossip Girl rewatch, I was like, there's parts that are a struggle.

[Rhea]

Mm.

[Fran]

You know, but it is, like, it does have that nostalgia. And there's so many crazy points that I was like, you're still so locked in. But objectively, when you step out of it, you're kind of like, wait a second.

[Rhea]

I can agree with that. 90210.

[Fran]

That's a good one. I don't think I really ever gave 90210, like, a full rewatch. Like, I watched it completely when it was on air.

[Rhea]

That's what I remember.

[Fran]

And was like, I loved it when it was on Air. And I definitely want to say I've maybe tried. Do we rewatch it and have given up, like, very quickly?

[Rhea]

Yeah, at first I tried rewatching it recently, and at first I was in and then I was out. I was like, this is way harder to watch this time around. So. Yeah, that's one of them for me.

[Fran]

Yeah, I think that's so fair. Yeah, I think that's so fair.

[Rhea]

The OC on the other hand, is every time. Yeah, that's a re watch. That's a re watch. That hits. In my opinion.

[Fran]

One Tree Hill is for me too. Honestly. Like, I. It's. That's also there, like, a Gray's Anatomy. Like, I could start from the beginning all the time also, you know, but yeah. Yeah, I think Goss Girl's probably.

[Rhea]

Good question. I'd love to see other people's answers on that.

[Caller 3]

Hey, gals. And Noah. Okay, so not really quite sure that I understand what an industry plant is, but my hot take is that I think Lucy Hale is one. I feel like she's been in, like, a gazillion movies that are never in theaters and that I've never seen, but she's always, like, promoting a movie. And so then I looked. She's got, like, 23 million followers on Instagram.

[Fran]

What?

[Caller 2]

What?

[Caller 3]

I have 20.

[Rhea]

How do you have 20 little liars?

[Caller 3]

Yeah, that's all I've ever seen her in. So curious to see who you think, like, could be an industry plan. You know, whatever that means. And thoughts on Lucy Hale. Thanks.

[Rhea]

Bye.

[Caller 3]

Love you.

[Fran]

You know, I think we may have different definitions of industry.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I agree.

[Fran]

Because I would imagine that if you're an industry plan, you're actually just, like, tossed into a bunch of, like, mega blockbusters and not, like, small director streaming movies. And I actually think Lindsay Hale's grinding and, like, trying to, you know, she's. She's getting jobs and she's working, and I've actually loved a lot of the movies that she's done. The Hating Game. Big fan. She did a couple other ones that I really loved. And, yeah, I don't. I don't really think that she's an industry plant at all. I think she kind of, like, works her ass off.

[Rhea]

Yeah, the industry plant would meaning, like, somebody who miraculously appears out of nowhere with this fame that they don't even know where it came from. Whereas, like, Lucy Hale, you can pinpoint. It was Pretty Liars.

[Fran]

Yeah, pretty. Forget how big pretty was.

[Rhea]

So ginormous. Yeah, and that's, like, what happens with These shows. I mean, think about Outer Banks. Like those kids have millions of followers just solely from Outer Banks alone.

[Fran]

Right. And I feel like Lucy Hale was really the, like, star of that show. You know, Like, I feel like as a, as an actor, she was brought up the most. Maybe that's just how I remember it, but I just feel like she was such a big focus of that. I mean, Ashley Benson also has 23 million Instagram followers, and so does Lucy Hale. And gosh, I do always forget what the other girl's name was that's married to the guy from Suits.

[Rhea]

Troy.

[Fran]

Troy in.

[Rhea]

Oh, Troy in. T O R T R O I A n. Yes.

[Fran]

Yeah. 16 million. I mean, that's still an insane amount.

[Rhea]

And when's the last time you saw her at something?

[Fran]

Right? Exactly. You know, I just like struggled to come up with her first name.

[Rhea]

Right? It's 16 million.

[Fran]

Right? 16 million.

[Rhea]

Pretty little Liars.

[Fran]

Massive. Massive. Massive.

[Rhea]

Huge.

[Fran]

Massive.

[Rhea]

Now that's one maybe I would rewatch just because I haven't watched it since it like aired on tv. You know, I haven't either.

[Fran]

And I also would love to maybe watch the whole thing in its entirety because I gave up.

[Rhea]

I gave up too.

[Fran]

I don't. I think I stopped watching after season four.

[Rhea]

I'm same boat as you. I was like, I don't know how much I can keep up with this.

[Fran]

Maybe three or four somewhere in there. I felt that about Riverdale recently too. I was like, damn. I would actually like to know how Riverdale came to an end, because I stopped watching that too.

[Rhea]

And when it first came out, it was appointment television.

[Fran]

Oh my God. Season one of Riverdale. Amazing.

[Rhea]

I felt that way about Pretty Little Liars premiering in the end of summer and Ooh, yeah.

[Fran]

[Rhea]

The second season of that.

[Fran]

No, the first one.

[Rhea]

Oh, I was thinking of one of us is lying.

[Fran]

No, yeah, Different.

[Rhea]

Okay.

[Fran]

This is We Were Liars.

[Rhea]

Gotcha. Gotcha.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Rhea]

A lot of lying.

[Fran]

I know.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

This thing is actually like a perfect little warm up to summer. I turn pretty. Season three, like, Amazon Prime's doing this.

[Rhea]

Once and then they're doing one episode at a time.

[Fran]

I didn't see that.

[Rhea]

I saw that. One episode per week, apparently.

[Fran]

Did they do that for the second season? I kind of think they might have.

[Rhea]

So we won't know until October.

[Fran]

No, they didn't. They did. I. No, because I remember getting a screener for the second season and. Yeah, that's why. Yeah, we got to watch them all.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah. But maybe the second season also came out week to week. But we got screeners.

[Rhea]

Yeah, that's true. Not to brag, right?

[Fran]

Humble brag. Shit, I hope we get. Never mind. No, no, take this out.

[Rhea]

Right?

[Fran]

No, I would love to get those screeners again. Keep us on that list. Thank you.

[Rhea]

People are not happy about that.

[Fran]

Yeah, I wouldn't be either. I mean, I would want to immediately watch them all. I want to get my status. Like, I want the ending asap.

[Rhea]

Right. So it's gonna be a while.

[Fran]

What a build up. That's gonna be for sure. But justice for Lucy Hale, I mean, I think she's great.

[Rhea]

I think she's not an industry plant.

[Fran]

No. And you know who I think an industry plant is, is this girl. Kelly texted us about it the other day. Jess Murph. Oh, she's fucking huge. She came out of nowhere.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Fran]

And then I was looking her up. She did the Sports Illustrated Runway. She sang, and I listened to her song. Her song's great. She's. She's very like Amy Winehouse vibes. She just saw, it was like on New Music Friday, went to look at her Instagram, 1.5 million followers. I was like, where am I? Under a rock or Sometimes people or she just. Because I think it happens a lot more in music where they just pick someone and they're, like, so cheap.

[Noah]

A lot of people are saying dochi for a while.

[Fran]

Yeah, I remember that. I remember that. But it's like, sometimes it just happens whenever someone is, like, so clearly thrown into new music, like, rapidly, and you're like, wow.

[Rhea]

You're like, whoa, this came out.

[Fran]

I haven't seen her now. I see her everywhere.

[Rhea]

But other people have probably been listening.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

You know who's not an. I wouldn't say people are saying she's an industry plant, but people are like, you know, the whole propaganda. Like, I'm not falling for this. That whole thing.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Addison Rae being, like, a music star and now people are like, she's an actual pop star. Like, there's a ton of people, like, I'm seeing the side of the Internet that's like, are we actually, like, is this a serious thing? That she's.

[Fran]

Wait. That they're like, she got a calling for her being a pop star.

[Noah]

Yeah. Like, she got a great score from, like, Pitchfork on her new album, and people, like, are randomly now starting to say, like, they're her favorite pop star. Like, not in a joking way.

[Fran]

Like, I actually would say that's propaganda. I am following for. I think she is a pop star.

[Rhea]

Same. I think she has all the makings of a pop.

[Fran]

I absolutely think she's about you guys.

[Noah]

Are you listening to her music? You're like, let me put on some. Addison.

[Fran]

I actually. Well, it just came.

[Rhea]

Her album just.

[Fran]

I was literally listening to the new album on my walk to work today, so.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And honestly, a lot of them. Pretty catchy.

[Rhea]

Yeah. You can't just write her off just because she started off on.

[Noah]

No, I'm not. I'm not.

[Fran]

She's worth it for Diet Pepsi alone.

[Rhea]

Right? It's true. Very, very true.

[Fran]

Pop star. Sorry.

[Rhea]

All right, let's do one more.

[Caller 1]

Hi, Rhea and Fran. I love listening to you guys. And also hi to Olive, if she's there in studio. She's so cute.

[Fran]

That's my dog barking.

[Caller 1]

And she actually looks just like Olive.

[Fran]

Anyway, I was wondering, because I got.

[Caller 1]

Married back in October. October. So right around when you guys kind of were going through it all, and I'm wondering what you guys are planning on doing with your wedding photos. Whether you were gonna make a photo book or kind of just frame them and hang them all up. I'm kind of just looking for ideas because so far, mine are just on my phone. And I haven't done anything with them yet. So let me know what you guys are planning on doing. Anything creative.

[Fran]

Thanks.

[Caller 2]

Hi, girls.

[Fran]

Good question. I'm in the same boat as you. I have them, like, all on my phone and I haven't done anything. I haven't done anything permanent with them at all. A couple of them are framed in our apartment. And around Christmas, I. Everybody got a wedding photo for Christmas. Like, I used whatever I think I might have used, frame bridge or something and just like, framed. Every relative was getting, like, their picture, which was. Which was great. But then I saved a couple of them for myself and yeah, I have that. What was really cool was my photographer as a gift. She's just the greatest. Shout out. Emma. She sent, like, it looks like a coffee table book. And you open it and it's a photo album. And it's all the film pictures that she took, which was really, really cool. So we have that, and that's like, out on our coffee table so that, like, you could go through that. But the. All the other wedding. I don't. I don't. I would love to do, like, an official big album, but I also. Sometimes I feel like people don't do that as much these days.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I mean, you can really do whatever you want. I feel like I'm not trying to be, like, so creative with it. Like, we have some framed. We have one big framed with like, florals around it, like in the frame. And then plan on making a print in a book. And you know, see, like, I don't have any grand idea of, like, something, you know, maybe it'll come to me one day.

[Fran]

Yeah. And I have a few. Like I said, like, I have a few in your apartment. I think it's like. I think it's so normal to have a few, like, beautiful photos up in your. Where.

[Rhea]

Where you.

[Fran]

Where you live or whatnot. I don't. I'm not personally one to do like a big, like, wall of wedding photos, but, you know, when you have. Sometimes you have these crayon photos, you can make this huge, beautiful picture. I think it looks so, so, so nice.

[Rhea]

And.

[Fran]

Yeah, I don't really think you have to go too.

[Rhea]

Yeah, you have to go do whatever you want. You can. You can make a photo album. You can make a coffee table book. You can just frame them.

[Fran]

Yeah. You know, Right.

[Rhea]

I don't have any, like, out of the box idea.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, I know. Some. Some of my friends are cute. They've done, like, full scrapbooks like themselves because of, like, other things that they've kept from their wedding, whether it's like the invitations or the programs or like little bits and pieces of things that they have that they have then also printed out some of their official wedding.

[Rhea]

Photos or like a memory box.

[Fran]

Scrapbook. Yeah, you know, Exactly. Yeah, that'd be even just. That is cute too.

[Rhea]

So I have a couple. I have two memory boxes.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But she could put a bunch of things in there. But yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I don't think you have to get too crazy with it. Whatever your heart desires, you know.

[Fran]

Yep, totally.

[Rhea]

All right, that wraps up the popcorner. All right, that wraps up today's episode of Chicks in the Office. Thank you so much for watching and listening. We love you guys so very much.

[Fran]

Thank you.

[Rhea]

Thank you for watching the best show on earth. Hopefully we will be releasing our episode a day early. Instead of Friday, we'll be releasing on Thursday. And we might have some more Love island esque things on that episode. So stay tuned for that. We love you guys so very much and we'll talk to you tomorrow, I guess, because it'll be a day early.

[Fran]

Slaughter that.
