Of Will be in the same Clothes because we are recording both today. Just for clarification, when you watch on Monday and say, oh my God, yes. And you don't change anyway, so what?

[Fran]

Oh, my God, Fran, do not start that rumor.

[Ria]

I am not just so locked into surviving.

[Fran]

I know, I know. We'll get to that. We're going to recap surviving on this episode. So we'll get into that in just a bit. I am in an all red outfit to represent both Christmas and my period.

[Unknown]

Oh, my God.

[Ria]

Happy holidays. And how I feel where if I bleed a little on this couch, it will blend right into my pants.

[Fran]

Should be okay. Yeah, no, I was. Sorry. I was out on Wednesday's episode. I had a nice, long day with my heating pad. I posted that on my story. Just one of those, you know, I talked about endometriosis, and people were asking me if I've had the surgery. I did. I had it back in. I keep saying 2017. I actually think it was 2018. I keep mixing up the years. They all kind of blend together. I think it was 2018.

[Ria]

2018.

[Fran]

Okay. I. Okay, I.

[Ria]

Only because it wasn't my. It wasn't my first. I think it was 2018.

[Fran]

Yeah, I mixed that up. So I think it was 2018. I had surgery. It was great. Felt a lot better. And I still do feel a lot better. But there are times where sometimes my period will. Sorry. I don't know if people want to be listening to this, but I'm just being honest.

[Ria]

Will ramp up more or come out of nowhere.

[Fran]

It'll come out of nowhere. It like, you know, and it'll ramp up and hit me fucking hard. And then some months, I don't have a single cramp, so it was just one of those times. And I just had to take the day and, you know, soak it in. But I'm feeling. I'm feeling a bit better. I'm feeling actually a lot better. Still got some minor cramps, but we're on our way. We're on our merry, merry way.

[Ria]

It is merry.

[Fran]

Yes. How are we feeling? I have a little. We'll do a little treat right now for you. This is not an ad, but you've never tried a nerd's gummy cluster?

[Ria]

No.

[Unknown]

Wow.

[Fran]

I'm gonna make you try it right now.

[Unknown]

Because you've never tried. You just don't.

[Ria]

No, I just. I don't know. I've never. I've never.

[Unknown]

I feel like Ria's always has them around you.

[Fran]

Yeah, I. I did.

[Ria]

No, it's like, then one time, I.

[Fran]

Was gonna send them to her, and she was like, no, it's my wedding.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

So I was like, okay, Fair. Very fair. But Noah, lovely, lovely gifts, he included some nerds gummy clusters in my bag, and I think it's time you try one.

[Ria]

Now.

[Fran]

This is my favorite flavor, is the very berry flavor. The Nerds gummy bears.

[Ria]

Well, you always say blue bag.

[Fran]

The blue bag is my favorite flavor.

[Unknown]

Without the other blue bag. There's new flavors.

[Fran]

Noah introduced me to some new flavors I have yet to try. So that'll be coming soon.

[Ria]

Okay.

[Fran]

If you don't like these, though.

[Ria]

But I like nerds.

[Fran]

Okay. What kind of can like noids? So, like. But I like nerds.

[Ria]

I like noids. I think I like this. Okay.

[Fran]

And you love candy, so.

[Ria]

I do love candy.

[Fran]

If you were someone who didn't like candy, I'd be like, don't try it.

[Ria]

I don't like. There's really. There's not many candies I've met that I know.

[Fran]

Like, I wanna. I don't want you. Like. You know when people don't like candy and then say, yeah, I don't like it. Like, get out of here.

[Ria]

No. And then people try and give me, like, the healthy candy, and I'm like, no, no.

[Fran]

We like nits. There you go.

[Ria]

I don't even really know what they look like.

[Fran]

They're a gummy cluster. See? So it's.

[Ria]

They're just bite sized nerd ropes.

[Fran]

Yes, that's exactly what it is. Okay, but this is very berry flavor. Very specifically. Ooh. O.

[Ria]

Okay, taste. I got to smell. Oh, my God, they smell good.

[Fran]

Should I narrate? She's sniffing it.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

And now she's admiring it. And she's squishing it around in her hand. And now she just. No, no. You got to pop them in at once.

[Ria]

Whole bite?

[Fran]

Yeah, whole bite. You can't rip it in half. Takes everything away. You got to just pop them in.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yep. Yeah, yep.

[Fran]

They're hitting.

[Ria]

Yeah. The problem now is that the bag is open.

[Fran]

Yeah. Pop one over to me and we have an entire. No, no, throw it. Let's see if we can do a little cat.

[Ria]

We have an entire show to record now. And now all I want to do is just sit here and eat more of these.

[Fran]

Open wide. Okay.

[Ria]

I don't. I don't like where. I don't like my positioning here.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Ria]

No, because I have to, like, actually turn, but also.

[Fran]

All right. Okay.

[Unknown]

Ready?

[Ria]

Yeah, but it's. It's. We're too close. Oh, that was a terrible throw.

[Fran]

Terrible throw. That was terrible throw. It's okay. It's okay.

[Ria]

All right, I'm having one more just to just. I'm gonna have a second just to make sure they're still good.

[Unknown]

I'm curious what the. Because I think one of the ones in there is, like, firecracker you know those popsicles, like the firecracker ones?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

That's like. I think one of the flavors, which I'm like. Yeah. I'm curious how freaking tasty.

[Fran]

You understand why they become addicting.

[Ria]

Yeah. But there's like a burst of flavor when you go in for that first bite.

[Fran]

Exactly. That's why you gotta pop the whole thing in your mouth. Boom. Burst of flavor. What are you rating then?

[Ria]

Mmm.

[Fran]

Well, he gave me five bags, so you have to take one home. Yeah, please take one home.

[Ria]

That is true. You did go.

[Fran]

I really cannot give you a giant bag. No. I cannot be responsible for all of those nerds. I really can't.

[Ria]

I'll take this bag home for sure.

[Fran]

Okay, you can have that.

[Ria]

I'll give it a. Hmm.

[Fran]

Hmm.

[Ria]

An 8.3.

[Fran]

Nice.

[Ria]

Like.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Ria]

It's good. You know what I would really love? I'm a sour candy person.

[Fran]

Yeah, I do love sour. It's like, it went like, sour to sweet.

[Ria]

Oh, my God. If they were like, kind of sour patch where the nerds had, like, a little sour.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

To them, and then, like, the gummy in the inside was sweet.

[Fran]

Well, your favorites. Warheads.

[Ria]

Yeah, I love warheads.

[Fran]

Yeah. I totally get what you're saying.

[Ria]

I physically cannot eat as many warheads as I used to because, man.

[Fran]

Cankersaur central.

[Ria]

That was a time. Yeah. Yeah. And I. I got a lot of kangaroo sores back in my day too. And especially because I was. I would eat so many warheads. But, like, sour. Like, sour gummy stuff. I love sour straw.

[Unknown]

What's your favorite flavor?

[Ria]

Yellow.

[Unknown]

Yellow.

[Ria]

No, I probably go black cherry.

[Unknown]

I was. I would go blue. I like black cherry.

[Ria]

Blue is good, too.

[Fran]

Wait, black cherry's really good.

[Ria]

Black cherry's really good.

[Unknown]

Yeah, Black cherry, Lemon, like, yellow is good.

[Fran]

Well, because lemon's like this.

[Unknown]

Green's my least favorite.

[Fran]

We try to advertise it as most sour. Green's like, the least sour.

[Unknown]

Do you. I feel like they're all like, the equal sour.

[Fran]

I don't think green is. I don't think green comes close to the other ones.

[Ria]

Really?

[Fran]

Yeah. Should we do a warhead taste test?

[Ria]

Yeah, that. There isn't one that, like, really, I feel like is more sour than the others. Sometimes I feel that way with yellow, but just cause it's like lemon flavored.

[Fran]

You know what we should do with you. And they do them in, like, those magazine stuff is a warhead taste test where we make. We blindfold you and we put all of the different color warheads in Front of you, and you have to say which flavor they are.

[Ria]

Are. Oh, yeah.

[Unknown]

I do feel like they are pretty distinct in like the. The flavors.

[Fran]

Yeah, we'll see. We gotta put it.

[Ria]

Remember when we went to that candy store in Dallas?

[Unknown]

Oh, yes.

[Ria]

And they had the. They had the mini ones. The mini ones in the plastic little pop open top container that, like, I almost passed out because it, like, transported me to a time in my life where like, I would go to the Short Hills Mall, go to the Limited two, and the Limited two had that like, little candy section and I would buy like every single container of mini warheads that they had. Like, I, like every time I went in, you would.

[Fran]

To the store, you would unstock the shelves.

[Ria]

Yes. 100. And you just don't see them that. You just don't see them that much.

[Fran]

You don't. They are so delicious.

[Ria]

You know what else actually just got discontinued? Which I could take up with the. With Nerds. Is.

[Fran]

Is Wonka.

[Ria]

Wonka, right? Or whatever. Whatever. Whoever makes nerds now. I don't know. Anyway, there was one of my favorites was Shockers, which were like the sweet. Sour. Sweet tarts.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

They don't make them anymore. Really? Yeah, they got discontinued. It's a. And I would find them every so often in like a random candy store and I'd be like, man, these have gotta be old.

[Fran]

It's the Ferrara Candy Company.

[Ria]

Oh. But Shocker. Sour candy. Oh, my God, I love chocolate.

[Unknown]

You know what I missed that got discontinued. Well, actually, two things. The Wonder Balls. Those were the best.

[Fran]

Those were great too.

[Unknown]

And then sour Altoids. Like, why did they.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. The orange.

[Unknown]

Yeah, tangerine.

[Fran]

The tangerine. The tangerine ones.

[Ria]

God, they're, you know, they're really gone these days. Oh, now there's. But there's a Sweet tarts. Sweet tarts, Chewy, extremely sour.

[Fran]

You've never had those? The sweet tart. The sweet tart Chew.

[Ria]

No, because I always went for shockers. Oh, but these are bigger than the shockers. Yeah.

[Unknown]

Chewy sour doesn't always hit as hard as hard candy sour.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah. I love the shock.

[Fran]

You don't get the same, like.

[Unknown]

No, yeah.

[Fran]

You know that face that you make? The.

[Unknown]

Oh, yeah.

[Ria]

There's like a Reddit thread. What happened to shockers three years ago?

[Fran]

A deep dive.

[Ria]

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I would always. No matter what, I would see a Shockers on the shelf that was also an automatic. Automatic, automatic purchase.

[Fran]

Yeah. This is just making me really want some sour candy right now. And at least we have nerds. At least. We have a lot of nerds. Gummy clusters.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

We have to fill us up.

[Ria]

Plenty. Plenty.

[Fran]

We're gonna talk about surviving barstool. So, spoiler. If you don't want. If you don't want to know what happened this week, if you're not caught up in the. On the episodes, but we are going to talk about what happened this week. The big controversy of the week was me sending Francis home. Now I'm. I'm thinking that people are, like, forgetting that we're playing a game, you know, like, what do you feel about it?

[Ria]

No. 100%. I think it's like, first of all, it's a reality TV competition show where you are trying to be the last one at the end, and you don't get to that spot without lying, deceiving people. Like, you can't just be nice to everybody. You'll get sent home. Like, it's like, you also can't tell everybody. Like, there are alliances for a reason. If they're. If everyone supposed to be nice to each other, everyone would have an alliance with everybody. And it'd be like a big hand holding. Like, I don't know what.

[Fran]

It would be the most boring show of all time.

[Ria]

Yeah. Like, it's. It's. The whole point of the show is to play a game that gets you to the end and your peers say, like, wow, you know, they. They pulled some moves, but, like, they. They played the game. Like, it's. It's like you.

[Fran]

You.

[Ria]

There's a respect for the game, you know?

[Fran]

Well, yeah, And I.

[Ria]

But that's what I'm saying. I feel like people don't understand what the. What that I feel like for the game maybe is. Is like. I know there's a lot of. There's. There's controversy over. Over Jeff D. Yeah. And his explanation. And people think Francis got screwed over because of that. Regardless, you guys were sending Francis.

[Fran]

Francis was going home no matter what.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So Francis was going home no matter what. Yeah. It was more just a matter of fact, if Dave gets that idol. But I kind of want to give, like, a background as to why I sent Francis home, because I feel like people are like, why'd you do that to Francis? Why'd you do that to Francis? Well, in this episode, you're seeing that Francis and Roan want to send Dave home. I think it's been made pretty clear that at this point, Dave is my number one alliance with Big Cat as well. And Roan tells Big Cat that he wants to Send Dave home. And Francis tells me he wants to send Dave home. And then, well, we're like, okay, well, Dave is our number one alliance. We need to protect our alliance right now. Which means now we have to send them home. Because if it's Dave, then it's us next. You know what I mean? They're gonna go down the line of the alliance. So as soon as Francis, you know, came to me and was like, well, I wanna get. Like, what about Dave? And I explained to him, my thought process at that time was, well, I don't think he can. Like, I don't see Dave as a threat, but I. In my head, I see Francis as a threat. So now we're like, all right, well, we gotta. We gotta protect our. Our strong alliance at this point. And. Because then you're next. Like, if you don't make those moves, they'll get you eventually. Like, that's what the game is. It's kind of like. And Rico said it in the show, he's a kill or be killed. Like, there's like, that's kind of. But I think that also, like, beginning.

[Ria]

Of the episode, Rico talking to you guys is like. Is like, so you. You flush that. You get Francis flush the idol.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

It's like, it's obviously. It's not like, that just goes to show that that's like a move that.

[Fran]

And we're standing. Possible to me, and we're standing in line, and Francis, you know, says something to me about his idol, and I'm like, you don't waste it. Don't waste it, because what am I going to tell him? To play it?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And then all of a sudden, I'm flipping on Dave and Dan, then I'm flipping on that alliance, which is my strongest alliance. So I told Francis, don't waste it. And what did he do? He did not play it. And that screwed him over. And that's just the name of the game.

[Ria]

At the end of the day. Like, he. Francis just, like, that's the name of the game. Like, Francis chose to believe what you were saying to him, and he shouldn't have. Yeah.

[Fran]

But I think sometimes it gets split into, like, an audience who, like, watches Survivor, watches reality TV shows and, like, understands. Yeah, reality tv. And then another audience where maybe they're just like a fan of barstool or a fan of this show, and they watch and they see people, like, lying to each other and backstabbing, whatever, and they get, like, really upset. But then. But it's like, it's everyone. Everyone signed up to play the same game.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, like, everyone who signed up to play the game knew what the game was and knew kind of like what you had to do. Um, so it. It just the response. You know, I had girls DM me and the. It. I'm confused because they're like, like, a girl DM me. Something along the lines of, like, what you did to Francis, like, you matched the shady energy of the guys on the show, and, like, you're smarter than that. Like, you don't need to be cruel. And it's like, there's 20 guys on the show and four girls.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Do you expect all the girls to just sit there and, like, not. You gotta go even harder.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, it's like, there. Yeah, there's 20 guys there.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

It's like, you gotta.

[Ria]

You know, and I feel like also because right now your tribe is losing challenges, so it's like you are being put in the spotlight of having to make decisions when it's like, there are only so many girls. Like, if it was. If it was flipped and it was the other tribe, like, Megan and Kelly would be having this issue too. Like, it's like, who do they believe? Like, they would be trying to get out the guys also, because that's. That's like, that has to be done.

[Fran]

Right. And I think it just comes down to, like, when people. People see Dave, like, getting through and they get mad and it's like, well, this is my number one alliance at that time. And I'm saying to Francis, hey, I don't. And, you know, my belief is that he can't win, so I don't think we should get him out. And now we got to get Francis out to protect this alliance.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

You're.

[Ria]

You're riding on the belief that Dave, like, is a good block. Like, block almost.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Because they're like.

[Fran]

They're even. They're even saying it.

[Ria]

They're, like, not blocked for you.

[Fran]

Ria's making all these moves and everyone's getting mad at Dave.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So it's funny.

[Ria]

Can I ask about the vote? Because I find it to be very interesting. Like, you guys obviously went in a plan with Francis. Did you guys plan to have it be split that way for it to.

[Fran]

Be like, they show it on us? I think they showed on Thursday night's episode. I have not seen Thursday night's episode yet, so I might be mistaken here, but I'll give the background. Me, Dave and Big Cat discussed that we would be splitting the votes because we knew that or we assumed. Because who knew? Because Ron and Francis were trying to cook something up. So I don't know, but they were gonna vote Moby. And we were like, okay, well, two of us have to vote Roan, and two of us should vote Francis, because if Francis doesn't play his idol. Because we kind of were aiming to get Francis.

[Ria]

So it was like, you had to speak Francis and Roan would put down Mubi.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

So then you and Mubi could, like. And Dan and Dave could split.

[Fran]

Yes. So we were like, okay, let's throw Francis in the mix here. Even though he has an idol, he might not play it. And if he doesn't play it, we want to get Francis out because he seems to be. From what I was gathering at the time, was that he was sort of leading the get Dave out thing. I don't know. Watching it back, it seemed like it was both Rowan and Francis, but Francis was a great player. And it's like, all right, well, we got to cut him out of here. He's a threat. So we were like, let's write them down. Both. If Francis does not play his idol, we'll all revote and we'll vote Francis out. Um.

[Ria]

Very smart.

[Fran]

So smart. So when he.

[Ria]

That's good gameplay.

[Fran]

So when he said, you know, like, I might play my idol, and I was like, don't waste it is because I knew that if he didn't play it, we would all revote and vote Francis out.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

So he was going. No. No matter what. With the idol controversy. Controversy. Sorry.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Francis was going to go home. Like we were going to revote Francis. No matter if he gave Dave his idol or not. Not gave Dave his idol. Really matter. Francis be out of the game no matter what.

[Ria]

Francis played the idol. Ron would have went home.

[Fran]

Yes. Right. Right. Okay. But Ron goes home Thursday, the next day. Yeah. Because we lost.

[Ria]

Lost again.

[Fran]

Again. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

It's tough with the challenge. You know, it's like. It's just the other team is.

[Fran]

Dave was.

[Ria]

Those athletes will get you.

[Fran]

Dave was so bad in that puzzle.

[Ria]

Dave was bad. It.

[Fran]

It was mind blowing.

[Ria]

I mean, that's no pun. He quite literally had to say, like, well, you know, tumor.

[Fran]

No. I was like, you should start telling people the skin cancer is getting to your brain, because whatever happened there, something like, he just.

[Ria]

He saw everything in reverse.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

He saw everything flipped somehow. His mind was like mirror imaging the puzzle.

[Fran]

Yeah. We had no shot after that point. It was. It. No. No shot at that point. But it's been. I've Been loving rewatching. And, you know, the.

[Ria]

I freaking loved watching you get that double idol. Oh, the two. I was like, yeah. Oh, that double idol.

[Fran]

I know. I was like, oh, my God. Like, sometimes I'm watching what I'm saying, and I'm, like, watching with, like, one ear closed, one eye closed. Because I keep saying this, but, like, you truly forget what you say and what you do, and then watching yourself.

[Ria]

Back is already so hard to begin with.

[Fran]

I won't lie. Like, I have. I've struggled a little bit watching myself back, but I also like it at the same time. It's a little bit of both.

[Unknown]

It must be very interesting.

[Ria]

Show is, like, so entertaining. Yeah. And the show is so entertaining where it's like, you enjoy watching the show, but then it's also like, damn, I'm a part of it. Right, Right. That's what it is.

[Fran]

Like, I'm so entertained.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But then I'm like, I'm entertained by myself.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Doing it.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

You're also discovering, like, what everyone else was thinking, like.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

And. And you start seeing what other people are thinking, and you start getting nervous. Like, I'm watching our challenge, and I'm like, come on, Dave. I'm like, oh, no, I know. He fucks this up.

[Ria]

You're like, you know, it says, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

It's interesting, though. I'm. I'm really enjoying watching it back, and I appreciate all the support from our chicks who are watching and listening and supporting me.

[Ria]

The girls who get it, they get it. They're like, is playing a great game right now.

[Fran]

Yeah. And, like, because I think. I think people think that, I don't, like, feel bad doing that, but obviously part of you feels really bad, but the other part of you is like, I'm playing a game to win $250,000. So, like, everyone signed up to play and make these moves, and you sort.

[Ria]

Of see it didn't eliminate, like, the crippling anxiety you had when you were filming the show. No.

[Fran]

And you know, it, like. You know what I mean? So, yeah. I mean, the paranoia. Because now I think we're on. We're on Thursday now.

[Ria]

Right. So there's been, you know, nine episodes are out now, you guys.

[Fran]

Nine episodes are out.

[Ria]

You're into the thick of it.

[Fran]

This one was a, like, a three episode in one day type of. Type of day, which is a lot to film in a day. So, you know, if you're filming three episodes, three challenges, three eliminations in one day, it's a lot of Paranoia, a lot of paranoia on the brain starts to set in. And the emotions. The emotions get heavy and high. But it's one hell of a game. It's one hell of a game. And there's a break. And then we're back.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

And we're back on that on Monday. Not Tuesday.

[Ria]

Is it Monday after New Year's? January 6th.

[Fran]

January 6th.

[Ria]

Perfect timing. That's when Chicks in the Office will also be making its return tidbits to 2025. So we'll make sure we'll, you know.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

We'll remind everybody that Monday morning to make sure that they're watching the new episode.

[Fran]

Yeah. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, that week, it'll be back. And, yeah, it's. It's. It's something, you know, there's. And I just wanna.

[Ria]

I fucking love watching it. Just, like, solely from a fan standpoint. Like, it is so fun. And I went home. I. I was out with friends for our holiday fancy drinks on Wednesday night. And I got home and it was late. A couple drinks, so I was like, oh, shit. Like. And I, like, got excited to turn it on. And I watched, like, the first 10 minutes, and then I was like, I need. I need a clear mind. I can't be watching this. Like, I was like, I need to clear mine. I was like, I gotta go to bed. I'll put it on when I wake up in the morning so I can watch it with a clear head in the morning.

[Unknown]

With that in mind, being like, all right, I'm gonna try to order it, like, when Surviving starts.

[Ria]

Oh, yeah, totally.

[Unknown]

So I can sit down.

[Ria]

Totally.

[Fran]

I'm not gonna lie. I. I knew what was coming this week, and I literally almost puked before every episode. Like, I, like, the. The anxiety was high.

[Ria]

Yeah. It's like. But I'm so hard. Like, you know, like, what you know is gonna happen, but it's like, it's such a.

[Unknown]

You don't know how it's gonna be.

[Fran]

Yeah. You don't know what gets put in, what. What. So I try to fill everybody in as much as possible of, like, what I remember happening behind the scenes at that time. But, yeah, the. From my opinion, my point of view of the Francis elimination, I think people saw it as, like, a huge backstabbing. And Francis obviously says it like, he's like, you know, shocked by Rhea. But my. At that time, I'm saying, like, my strongest alliance is Dave and Big Cat in the movie.

[Unknown]

I got goosebumps when you were like, don't waste it.

[Ria]

Yeah, okay. I said to Rhea. Before that, I'm just like, I'm so entertained by Ria's whispers. And I think now I'm also coming to realize it's because you don't ever whisper real. Like, we're not, like, pretty loud. Yeah. Like. Like when we were talking, especially, like, talking normally on the show or like, whatever. Like, there's rarely a time that we're, like, whispering and I. And I just. There's certain moments where I'm just like, I love. I'm so entertained by these. Like, because you get, like, a very serious face.

[Fran]

So serious.

[Ria]

Such a serious face. You're like, okay, okay. But.

[Fran]

But, yeah.

[Ria]

And the whisper to, like, it's like a different sound of whispering. Whisper.

[Fran]

And I'm like, not a serious person. And I think you know that. Yeah, our audience knows that. And then I'm watching it. I'm like, oh, my God.

[Ria]

Yeah. So seriously, you're so serious. But at the same time, like, you. There's some of these tri. Like, some of the councils. It's like people are like, oh, like, you're smiling. It's like, this is uncomfortable. No, it's.

[Fran]

It's hard.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Like, when Ronan Francis turned to me and they're like, rhea, stop smiling. And I'm like, sitting there just like, also, because as a lover of reality tv, like, I have watched so much reality TV in my life that sitting there in that moment and you're like, I can't believe. Like, it's not a laugh in, Like, I think that this is funny. It's a laugh in, like a. I can't believe this is what's happening right now.

[Unknown]

I love the aspect of the house, like, watching.

[Fran]

Oh, it's so cool.

[Unknown]

When Whitney left in was like, I don't want to see you, like, biz. Like, I don't want to see you at the house. Like, Clemmer and Mincy, like, don't. Don't do it.

[Ria]

So funny.

[Fran]

The element of the house is a good factor. The house is great. Like, making, you know, them go to a house. It's a good element.

[Unknown]

Clemmer first showed up and Mincey's like, isn't this great? And he's like.

[Fran]

Clemmer's like, it'd be better if I wasn't here.

[Ria]

Right, Right. Clemmer also was cracking me up because I think it was on the rundown that he said that when he. They were like, oh, I guess we, you know, we shouldn't really be blogging too much because we don't want to give anything away of like, oh, like Clummer. Like, people knew they weren't. You guys were filming the show. Like, it's kind of like you had to go there and wait it out. And that Mincey, like, said something along the lines of, like, oh, you don't have to tell me not to do work. Like.

[Fran]

Oh, shit.

[Ria]

Oh, man. So, yeah, no, that is a, that is a. That's a really good element to it all too. So. No, it's gonna be great. Well, you know, everybody has off guys. Barstool office is closed and everything. And then we'll come back guns blazing.

[Fran]

Yeah. And I, I really do do.

[Ria]

I almost just said guns blazing on January 6th.

[Fran]

And I. Yeah. Oh, don't.

[Ria]

Don't say that.

[Fran]

Don't do that.

[Ria]

No, don't, don't. Definitely do come back guns blazing.

[Fran]

Definitely don't say that. I do want to say, though, like, really thank you to all the girls that have been messaging me really nice things.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And showing support and love reality tv.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

You know what I mean? We all, we all, we all love reality TV here. You know what I'm saying? So thank you, guys. I really do. I really do appreciate that. And let's get into the rest of the show. We're going to be talking about Grace O'Malley. I think everybody has seen by now that she left Barstool and is now joining Unwell, Alex Cooper's network. So we'll talk about that. There were rumors that started really out of nowhere about Taylor Swift potentially blurring her ring finger with, you know, an engagement ring. Don't know if that's true, but funny.

[Ria]

Enough, this actually stemmed from one of my friends.

[Fran]

Yes. So we'll talk about that. We also have the summer house trailer and we have a great game of holiday trivia. And you know, by great game, I mean if you love holiday trivia. Right.

[Unknown]

You'll be way better than them.

[Ria]

If you're really good at holiday trivia, then you might not be impressed, but you'll get a lot. Right, Right.

[Fran]

Exactly.

[Ria]

It's not to give away too much about the game. Slow start. Trust. The whole game, you know, Trust. It's a fun game. It's just.

[Fran]

It's holiday trivia.

[Ria]

It was a tough ho, ho, ho.

[Unknown]

Holiday trivia always makes me think of good old cousin Nick.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah. What a throwback. Good old Saint Nick.

[Ria]

I wonder what he's doing these days.

[Fran]

Maybe he'll be listening to holiday trivia.

[Unknown]

Yeah, he'd probably. He'd probably know.

[Fran]

Yeah, that's true. All right. Let's get into the rest of the episode. Abercrombie has new drops every single week and their winter new arrivals made to head home in for the holidays are here. So you can get denim sweater skirts, outerwear, and all the outfits you need for the holidays. I've got plenty of coats to keep me warm all throughout the winter, thanks to Abercrombie. So going home for the holidays is all about how you arrive. So when I walk through my Long island family home, I walk in with my cheetah print coat from Abercrombie and I let them know Ria's home, everybody. Ria has made it home for the holidays.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

You know, it's been.

[Ria]

It's been a little crazy.

[Fran]

It's been a little bit crazy.

[Ria]

Crazy for sure.

[Fran]

Everybody knows what's happening between Bri and Grace, and then Dave got involved, and it's a whole thing and a whole back and forth. Um, and I think people were wondering, like, what's gonna happen here? They both work at the same company. How are they gonna go on? Are these two gonna make up what's gonna happen?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Grace decided that it would be best for her to leave Barstool and then landed right into the Unwell Network with Alex Cooper. So congrats to Grace because I think that's an awesome move.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I think Grace is going to thrive and keep crushing it.

[Ria]

Absolutely. I was, like, I was so excited for Grace when I saw this announcement. And even just Alex's TikTok, she teased like, she was on the phone with Grace and now they've. They made the full announcement that she's joining it. I think it is such a. Is a great fit for her, really. And like, regardless of what she does, podcasting content, like, com, like, her comedy tour, I think gives her the opportunity to, like, really hone in on that and, like, tour and do all these great things that she wants to do and really thrive, like, kind of on her own as her. With her own name. So it's very exciting for her. Look, it sucks. It sucked to watch this whole thing go down it really did because, like, we were like, we were introduced to Grace via Bri. Like, we all went on a fucking vacation to a room together.

[Fran]

We all went to a room together.

[Ria]

And we Graced being an employee. Like, we like. And we had so much fun. And just seeing the friendship dissolve in this way, it sucks. It's heartbreaking. It's just like seeing that happen to best friends, it is just not great. And, you know, that's really about it. Like, I think that this actually sets them both up in the best way of. Like, who. I mean, I don't really. I don't know Bri's plans, but like, Bri having her whole. Her show, her thing. She and Josh are taking over BFFs and doing all that. Like, she will thrive doing that. Grace will thrive in her own setting. So it's kind of good. I feel like in a way where perhaps because of all this drama, they would never really be able to escape it if they were still both here. So it just, I think the move just makes sense.

[Fran]

Yeah, I agree. I agree. About the friendship thing. It's just like that just. You know what I mean? Like a friendship that. Yeah. You know, that many years grew up together, childhood friends.

[Ria]

Like, it's not like a work. It's not even. It's like a real. Lots of real life. Like your families are involved.

[Fran]

Like, you watch and you're just like, yeah. You know what I mean? You're just like, oh, why is this happening?

[Ria]

I know.

[Fran]

So, yeah. Unfortunate that that's happening, but I think like you said, they both are going to be in the spot that they should be in and do what they want to do at this point.

[Ria]

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So congrats to Grace.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

I think that's a. That's a great move and I'm excited to see what. I'm excited to see what she does.

[Fran]

Yeah. When Alex Cooper posted that, like, the phone call with Grace, like, it was like, oh, I.

[Ria]

We're like on the. We're like, we send it to each other. Like, oh, jaw dropped. Like, oh, my God.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. Like, this happened also fast.

[Ria]

Yeah. Dead. It did. No, because I mean, it was like Grace had sent the two of us a text before she announced that she was leaving of just like, heads up. Like, this is, you know, I'm not. Not going to be a Barcelona anymore, like, bubble. But we, you know, sent her back a nice message like, oh, we will always support you, always be happy for you. Like, excited to see what you do. I didn't I didn't expect it to be two days later. We would. We would have this, but like, hell, jump right on it.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

Smart.

[Fran]

Yeah, smart. So definitely.

[Ria]

Yep. So good for Grace. That's a good. That's a good setup for her.

[Fran]

I think this is going to be great for Grace. She's been crushing it on the road. Her comedy with Whitney Cummings, and now she's going to be doing stuff with Alex Cooper. She's going to be doing her own thing. And like you said, like, it's her name and, like, her brand that she can go fulfill and.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And just thrive on.

[Ria]

Absolutely. I will say, I do think, like, when people say, oh, you guys are gonna talk about. You guys are gonna talk about this. It's tough when there are our co workers and it's like, very much real life involved. And while, yes, we talk about gossip and everything, like, most of the time we don't know. Really know these people. So it's like, it's hard to comment on something that is, like, you personally are like, this is. This is like a real issue that they're having that we just. It's. If I was. If we were having some, knock on wood, it'll never happen. But if we were having, like, say.

[Fran]

It pretty dang strong, but I'm saying.

[Ria]

Like, if we, God forbid, we were to have an issue.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Like, if other shows and co workers were, like, throwing in their two cents all the time, I'd be extremely frustrated. So I get like, in that case, we're like, all right, it'll work itself out. And it's. It. Because now Grace is making a different.

[Fran]

No, that's exactly it. And it's very, very personal. And it goes beyond work. It's their personal friendship that they had since they were younger. And it's like, yeah, we work here and we work with them. And it's like, I don't want to be throwing in my two cents about this. That the other thing it's like, is that. And it's like you said, we do talk about pop culture, but in this sense, since we know them, I'm like, it ain't my business, but.

[Ria]

Which, you know, that may frustrate people. That may make people be like, that's why you should talk about it. But that's, you know, we. We gotta. We gotta go with our. Our gut on that one.

[Fran]

Right, Exactly.

[Ria]

That's. That's. That's where we're at. And yeah, like, like, we said. We said it a million times, but, like, good for Grace and We're excited.

[Fran]

To see what happens. Big, big congrats to Grace. I think that's awesome. Rumors about Taylor Swift started spiraling. Do you want to jump in here? Because you said that your friend did this.

[Ria]

So, so funny enough, it is now like the top story on Page Six. And she's been making jokes about it on. On Instagram. But my friend Liz, she is Liz P. Woods on Instagram. She's great. If she, like, pop culture connoisseur really, I would say, like, and her stories are always up to date, updating people on what's going on and all these things. And she posted the pictures that Brittany Mahomes had posted of Taylor's birthday slash surprise end of eras tour party that. That they had. And she zoomed in and was like, just musing on her own Instagram story of like, ooh, guys, like, does it kind of look like Taylor's finger is. Her ring finger is blurred a little bit. Like, does it look like kind of blurred? And she made a couple stories about it. Fine. I. I'm scrolling. Last night, I see a. A tweet that's like Daily Mail, Taylor Swift engaged. Like, fans speculate, whatever. And I was like, oh, my goodness. And I clicked on it. It was like the second paragraph right away was like, it's just, you know, Instagram user, like, at LizP, woods like, posted this and. And then it's like they had the screenshots stories and everything. And I sent it to her immediately. Like, I messaged it to her on Instagram and I was like, oh, no. Because it's funny enough, she is also the person that when Kim was resharing Happy Birthday messages and it was the one with the Taylor Swift song and everyone freaked out about it, that was Liz's story.

[Fran]

So she's just always in the mix here.

[Ria]

So that was also really funny. And now, like, then on Page Six, picked it up and it's just like, fans speculate that Taylor Photoshopped, like, Taylor photoshopped her hands so that you couldn't see. Like, does this look like it's blurry?

[Fran]

What do you think?

[Ria]

I don't. I don't really think it was Photoshopped. I didn't like, it did look. It did look maybe a little blurry, but sometimes it does happen.

[Fran]

Sometimes that just happens.

[Ria]

It does sometimes just happen in photos. Yeah. So.

[Fran]

So I feel like. I honestly think if Taylor and Travis were engaged.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

With the way that Taylor was like, congratulating Selena and Selena was posting out it. I do think Taylor and Travis would announce that they are engaged.

[Ria]

I actually do. I agree with you. To. Liz actually posted after the Page Six article, she was like, if anyone who follows me knows Taylor has a tree connect, tell her I did not mean any harm. And I'm very much not in a position to deal with stress at this moment. She's having a baby. She was. I'm just so excited for her. It's just like, a fun speculation because everyone, like, is rooting for them to get engaged 100%. So it's just funny that it. It just blew up, spiraled in this way. And now, like, people see the articles and it's like, oh, my God. It just spread so much more after that of, like, oh, my God, are. Is she engaged? Like, did she do that?

[Fran]

But I feel like if he was gonna propose, he'd let the. Let it die down a little bit. After the holidays, the tour just ended.

[Ria]

I also don't think he would propose during football season.

[Fran]

I agree. I think he's like, I said, everything's gotta die down. You gotta let the tour end, the holidays pass, football season comes to a close.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

And then we could talk about engagement here. But as of right now, I think that. I don't think that's happening. And I think that it's gonna happen, guys. I just need to be patient.

[Ria]

Right? Exactly. I loved all the costumes. I love dressing. I loved seeing Travis wear the, you know, tortured poets department. Fit in the whole thing from when he was on stage and honoring her and surprising her and everybody's, what. What an. What an end. So it's just seemed like a super fun celebration.

[Fran]

Right. It's like a party I want to be invited to.

[Ria]

I also love that when you see pictures from parties that, like, they're at. Like, you look at pictures of Taylor walking into the studio on the street. She's going to dinner. Her lipstick is always perfect. But late night at a party that Travis is at, that lipstick smeared all over her face.

[Fran]

She's drinking, she's kissing.

[Ria]

Exactly. They're having smooches. Why? I love smooches. I love it.

[Fran]

You gotta be smooching and drinking, having a good time. Don't worry about that perfect red lip.

[Ria]

Taylor, that party seemed like a fucking blast.

[Fran]

It did.

[Ria]

Yep. Good.

[Fran]

Good party.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

Summerhouse trailer was released. Great trailer. Summer House always releases a fucking awesome trailer.

[Ria]

They do.

[Fran]

That ropes me in. And even though we know Paige and Craig are fine and are together, I'm watching this. This trailer going, what?

[Ria]

No. It still makes me gasp every time.

[Fran]

I'M like, what's going on?

[Ria]

I know. It's just like. I'm like. Like, I'm like, oh, my God. I'm like, don't cry.

[Fran]

Yeah. I'm like, wait, don't break up over the summer.

[Ria]

Like, wait, what happened?

[Fran]

No, I'm like, I'm roped in. And I'm like, wait a second. Like. Like what?

[Ria]

It's not, like, the energy of the new guy.

[Fran]

What?

[Ria]

I just seemed like he was just having sex a lot.

[Fran]

Yeah. Maybe he was the first threesome that they talked about.

[Ria]

Had to have been.

[Fran]

I also think there's going to be some. Maybe a little bit of drama between Lexi and Sierra. Lexi Wood, I think her name is. I think Lexi Wood or Lexi woods joins the show, and I think she's a little fling with Jesse, and then she's. It looks like she's telling Sierra she don't trust her because Sierra's flirting with Jesse and the whole thing. And I got to be honest. If you're coming at Sierra.

[Ria]

Yeah. Good luck.

[Fran]

Now we're all going to step in here.

[Ria]

Totally.

[Fran]

But then it looks like Paige is coming at Kyle, which I love.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I love an animated Paige of Sorbo. If Paige.

[Ria]

I also love when anybody comes for Kyle.

[Fran]

Oh, same. But if Paige Desorbo is getting animated and she's like, how fucking dare you? I'm sold. I'm in it. I root for that. That's the type of energy I want to see, because it's true. How fucking dare you? And then she had an amazing line like, I'm keeping his wife company while he's pretending to be Diplo. Like, yeah. Yes. Why is this happening? Why is Kyle becoming a dj? We're just still gonna act like this is normal. Okay, fine. I'm not. I'm not gonna act like it's normal, but whatever. And that's the trailer. I basically just summed it up for everybody.

[Ria]

I know. It does look like Lindsay's having a baby. It does look like there's maybe some. Some arguments with Carl. It's her moments. I love that girl. He seemed like just a stranger at a party saying that Carl has big lemur energy. I was like, you know, never really crossed my mind. Like, not the animal I would have first chosen for him. But now that it's been pointed out, I totally see it.

[Fran]

I see it. It's also not what you want to be called.

[Ria]

Yeah, right.

[Fran]

You know what I mean? If somebody says you have big lemur energy, you're kind of like, what the Fuck. Does that mean I'm not, like, jumping for joy? Like, oh, my God, I love that animal.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, I'm not, so glimmers just.

[Ria]

Make me think of Zaboomafu, which was a TV show. I don't think we've talked about Sabumafu.

[Fran]

You've brought it up before.

[Ria]

I have, yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah, I know You're.

[Ria]

That's really all I think about with when I. When I think of lemurs.

[Fran]

Lemurs.

[Ria]

Zabumafu and Carl now.

[Fran]

Yeah. A lemur's not a particularly interesting animal or whatever you would call it.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah. I mean. I mean, you know, we don't know enough about lemurs to not say they're interesting.

[Fran]

That is true. I guess I'm just.

[Ria]

But I'm saying when it could turn. When it comes to, like.

[Fran]

I mean, I guess you want somebody.

[Ria]

To be like, oh, you have, like, lion energy. Right.

[Fran]

You want something fierce. Lemurs are kind of.

[Ria]

Lemurs are cool.

[Fran]

They're cool. Yes. For me to say they're not interesting was kind of just rude.

[Ria]

They move pretty fast. They jump.

[Fran]

Mine. Saying they're not interesting was more of a shot at Carl than a shot.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.

[Fran]

But lemurs, they got scary eyes. They got a cool tail, though. Yeah, they got cool. They got cool tails. So now we're complimenting lemurs. But I still, you know.

[Ria]

Well, we don't want to take away from the. From the animal, but. Right.

[Fran]

I don't want to be mean to him.

[Ria]

In Carl's mind, he probably was like, oh, what? Yeah, yeah. And honestly, now, not a lot of west in the trailer.

[Fran]

Now that I'm looking at lemur, like, lemurs, I don't actually think Carl has lemur energy at all.

[Ria]

Well, in the sense that it looked like they were at a party, that he had, like, dark eye makeup on.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

So I think it may have solely been from that, just because of the way that lemur's face coloring is. I think Carl had, like, dark black eyeshadow, like, around both of his eyes.

[Fran]

Fine. For looks purposes, we can say lemur.

[Ria]

I think so maybe just in that I'm being picked. I know. I didn't really think this would be the part that we ended up dissecting the most.

[Fran]

I don't know. It just happens sometimes.

[Ria]

Yeah, it does. It does. No, but I said that Wes isn't really in the trailer too much, but I'm sure there's some movement with him. I'd imagine that after Wes fucking was dragging his feet all last season with Ciara and like, oh, like boy time, bro time. Whatever. Wes just seems like the friend, the guy friend that like when his buddy gets her girlfriend, he's like, oh, come on, man, why you gotta do me like that?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Oh, you're leaving me hanging out dry summer.

[Fran]

Yeah, come on. This summer's about chicks, dude.

[Ria]

Exactly. And now, like, if Jesse actually has it, it's. Jesse was like making a joke about, like having it. Like, he's like, oh, I'm gonna have a girlfriend, like, whatever. That seemed like maybe he's. Perhaps he is jumping in too fast or something and it's gonna be a problem. But in the sense that, like, Wes is totally the friend that's like, oh, whoa, what. What happened to our big plans for the summer, man? What about.

[Fran]

What about summer 2024?

[Ria]

Yeah, what happened? I know, I know.

[Fran]

This was gonna be a big one for us, bro.

[Ria]

Gonna go. We were gonna go everywh high.

[Fran]

Not if you settle down, bro.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did see. I did see them out over the summer when they were after a night of filming.

[Fran]

Were they broing out? Were they singling out?

[Ria]

Yeah, I mean, it was at. It was at Common Ground east and I, I talked about this. I was like, they arrived at separate times. Wes was trying to get up, like into the back VIP area for quite some time. And I did giggle watching him. He did eventually get up there, but the process of him, like, trying to get the right person or fight, like calling whoever he had needed to call, and there's like no service in there. It's like impossible. Just like watching that process, like, it, it made me giggle.

[Fran]

It did.

[Ria]

It is a pretty shitty giggle.

[Fran]

It's a pretty shitty feeling.

[Ria]

And he was by himself. So you're like, you know, you're like, oh, God. Like, this is worst case scenario.

[Fran]

You're like, look at how I look right now.

[Ria]

This is worst case scenario.

[Fran]

I'm supposed to be growing out.

[Ria]

And then Jesse came in after.

[Fran]

Did Jesse get right into the vip?

[Ria]

Well, I walked straight up to Jesse and like, introduced myself and my friend.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Because at that point I had the liquid courage to be like, oh, like, meet my friend. It's her birthday. Objectively, she finds Jesse Solomon attractive, you know, so was trying to. Trying to make some movie magic there.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

At that. At that point.

[Fran]

But that's a nice wing woman move.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Waking up the next day, I was like, kind of wish I didn't do that.

[Fran]

But you're like, but you know.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, totally. And. But now I'm just. I'm so excited for the, for this.

[Fran]

Did you get his number? Did I remember this correctly?

[Ria]

I think I gave him my number. Oh my God.

[Fran]

Like I'm sitting here, I'm like, wasn't there like a number?

[Unknown]

Excuse me.

[Ria]

Yeah, because then we started talking. I was like, oh, like you got to come on the show. You know, like we were doing the whole, the whole song and dance. I would actually still love to have.

[Fran]

Him on the show. Yeah, he should come on the show. You should just.

[Ria]

Hopefully we'll make that happen. Well, you know, the problem is, is he's got my number, I don't have his. So he's got. He's got to call me.

[Fran]

How did you end up in that position, friend? I don't know.

[Ria]

I don't know. But yeah, no, it was that. It was a fun night regard. Anyway. But this. I'm excited for this season. I like when they add new value ads, which I feel like Lexi is going to be. I don't know about the other guy.

[Fran]

I know about the new guy.

[Ria]

I don't know about the new guy. Weird.

[Unknown]

I know someone who knows him.

[Ria]

Oh yeah?

[Fran]

Really? Inner thoughts in her.

[Ria]

I've heard like, is he banging as many chicks as he says he is?

[Unknown]

From, from what I've been told, yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

Oh my God.

[Ria]

At one point in the trailer, I think he said he had sex with two girls in one night.

[Fran]

That is. That's disgusting. That honestly.

[Ria]

Is it really?

[Fran]

Yeah, that is disgusting. If you make out with multiple people in one night. Fine, fine.

[Ria]

If you, you're on penetration.

[Fran]

If you stick your pee pee, who has the energy?

[Ria]

So true. Yeah, you gotta have. What is this guy doing? Popping some Viagra every day.

[Fran]

You gotta have some pent up. Pent up energy in there. I mean it's been done to me.

[Ria]

Yeah, true.

[Fran]

I've talked about that story years and.

[Ria]

Years ago from like that's, you know.

[Fran]

That I was 18.

[Ria]

It was like a college age time. You're. You're. You're young and wild.

[Fran]

Yeah, I didn't do it.

[Ria]

I want to clear. It was.

[Fran]

A guy did it to me. A guy left me in, in his room to go somebody else after he, after we had sex. That's crazy.

[Ria]

That is crazy. That is crazy. But I'm saying that this guy is probably like older 30s. Not saying older 30s. I'm saying probably around 30.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Like be my guess. I don't know.

[Fran]

Clean it up, bro.

[Ria]

Yeah. Unless he's younger. I don't know.

[Fran]

Clean it up.

[Ria]

Yeah, no, I don't. That's. No, thanks.

[Fran]

But what's the motivation there? You know what I mean? Like, are you. Are you even enjoying it at that point?

[Ria]

I don't know.

[Fran]

Like, that's not even. I feel like that's not like you're even enjoying this.

[Ria]

It's like a weird ego thing.

[Fran]

Yeah. That's like just a numbers game.

[Ria]

Yep. Yeah.

[Fran]

You're not taking your time.

[Unknown]

Told me that he did that. I don't even know how I'd react. I'd probably be like, really?

[Fran]

Like, you would be like kind of like.

[Unknown]

I'd be like, why don't you go to sleep?

[Ria]

Was the first time not good? Yeah.

[Fran]

I think you're just.

[Ria]

I'm just like.

[Unknown]

It's like eating and you're full and then you're like, oh, I'm gonna order like pizza now. It's like, what?

[Ria]

Oh, yeah. Yep, yep, yep.

[Fran]

I mean, yeah, I just like trying to like it. Just. Yeah, I don't think that's for enjoyment. Sexual enjoyment at that. I think that is. Comes from an egotistical place of multiple girls in one night.

[Ria]

Yeah, totally. And now this. We'll get to watch the whole season, I think February 12th, something along those lines. Mid February.

[Fran]

Yeah, February. Yeah, February. We'll see.

[Ria]

We'll so just see the Craig Kyle happen, like with what's being said. Because it seems like that drama has just kind of continued.

[Fran]

Right. It seems like, you know.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Kyle's very sensitive about lover boy. I've sat with my hands crossed this entire time and I feel like it's giving not welcoming energy and I didn't mean it. It was just comfortable. You know what I mean?

[Ria]

Feel that way.

[Fran]

I'm just sitting here like welcomed. I'm a little chilly and I'm like, I've been sitting like this, but I'm like, ah. Why don't I go like this?

[Unknown]

Hey.

[Fran]

Coming up.

[Ria]
