7. Interview with Spencer House (“Wrigley” on Tell Me Lies)

[94:12–125:07]

Highlights from the Interview

Landing the Role:

• Long casting (about eight months!), with repeated callbacks and mixed signals.
  • “They kept going, ‘We think you’re the guy,’...And then they come back...‘They don’t think you’re big enough or you’re not on social media...’ It went on for like eight months.” – Spencer ([95:37])

Social Media & Industry Observations:

• Spencer doesn’t use social media and says it can falsely equate online clout with acting talent.
  • “You taking pictures and having a lot of people like it doesn't actually mean that you can make a scene come to life.” ([98:16])

Approach to Acting:

• No rigid “system”; prefers reading and ruminating over scripts, “letting it dance around in my head.” ([101:38])
• Feels for Wrigley, especially during the character’s low points and addictions, but enjoyed the “trajectory of hope” in the latest season.

Insider on the Show’s Arc:

• Season 2 let the writers break away from the novel and “go deeper,” making the show more intense and character-driven.

Personal Origins:

• Shares his background as a “troublemaker” kid who found his calling in high school theater, with stops in Cincinnati and New York’s classic bad apartments (“wallpaper of cockroaches”).

Dream Roles:

• Leans toward comedy and just worked on a “Young Frankenstein”–inspired pilot as Igor with Zach Galifianakis.

[Fran]

Yes, we do have a lot of exciting things to talk about. I can't wait to talk about the topics.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

But before we get into today's topics, just a quick word on the tool that keeps people's workflow tighter than our takes. Microsoft 365 copilot now we are partnering with Microsoft Copilot and Chicks in the Office is presented by Microsoft Copilot.

[Ria]

Yes, it is.

[Fran]

Wow.

[Ria]

Which we're very excited to be working with them. Starting off our 2026, the world is moving really fast. Your workday even faster. Pitching products, drafting reports, analyzing data. Microsoft 365 Copilot is your AI assistant for work built into Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other Microsoft 365 apps you use, helping you quickly write, analyze, create, and summarize so you can cut through the clutter and clear paths to to your best work.

Work, play, whatever it is, Microsoft Copilot's got you covered, right?

[Fran]

So learn [e-mail] M365Copilot Listen, I'm just excited to get into the topics today because there is one in particular I am very, very excited about. But, but before we get into all those topics, I just need to update everybody that we did see. Sean Penn has a very young girlfriend. I'm sorry, we won't talk about it. Way too long. Once again.

[Ria]

No, but. And. And this girlfriend's been around for a while, I guess.

[Fran]

Had no idea.

[Ria]

And had no idea. Of course, Sean Pen's making his way onto our our algorithms. So I saw some photos, paparazzi photo posted of them and. And I sent it to you guys and I said, I think we can be mean again.

[Fran]

Yeah, that's exactly what you wrote. You know what?

[Ria]

I think we can be mean again because what is going on here?

[Fran]

And her age is unknown.

[Ria]

Unknown, Estimated. Nothing. You really can't go off when the Internet says she's estimated to be around this age. Well, then we have no fucking clue.

[Fran]

We have no Idea. Just had to quickly mention that before we talk about the weekend.

[Ria]

Cause it's not worth a full topic. But it's worth the mention.

[Fran]

It is worth the mention, but it is Friday.

[Ria]

Yes, it is.

[Fran]

We got that Friday Energy presented by Planet Fitness. I did work out this morning, so, you know, I got that Friday Energy running through my veins.

[Ria]

Flowing through you on a Thursday.

[Fran]

Yes, it's Thursday right now. What are your plans for the weekend?

[Ria]

I'm actually going Friday. It is a great way to start the weekend. Get that blood flowing. Fluff. Flowing. Flowing. Moving around those endorphins.

[Fran]

Going.

[Ria]

Exactly, exactly. Feeling good. And perhaps you have a long weekend. It is MLK weekend, so I know some folks are off on Monday. We will have our regular episode on Monday, but we do have our tickets on sale noon Eastern. We kind of both did that sound effect, but I think I did it because you did it or did we?

[Fran]

Because it was supposed to be a drum roll and it turned. Yeah, it just turned into something else. Yeah. Very excited about the tickets being on sale noon Eastern time today. If you're listening Friday morning or maybe it's past noon and you're like, oh, shit, the tickets went on sale. Go make sure to check and get those tickets. The response to our tour this time around had me juiced the frick up. I was so excited to see how.

[Ria]

Excited everybody is about this tour, about the places we're going to.

[Fran]

It seems like these were some great spots. Listen, we are sorry to Canada. I am seeing a lot of our Canadian listeners. We want to do a show in Canada right now. There are just some logistics as to why we can't, but we're going to make it happen one day.

[Ria]

I think we can be transparent on it. It's like we do these tours and they are sponsored and we work with amazing brands and the products may not be available outside of the US in the same way that they are the US and there's a lot of different regulations when it comes to alcohol. That's like the biggest thing that has been probably the biggest hiccup. I don't know. It's hiccups. Not the right word. What's the word I'm looking for? Challenge. Challenge.

[Noah]

Obstacle.

[Ria]

Obstacle.

[Fran]

Obstacle.

[Ria]

Thank you, Noah. That's the word I was looking for.

[Fran]

Good word.

[Ria]

Is the biggest obstacle when trying to do something in Canada. It's just like when it comes to the alcohol stuff, it's been really tricky. So we definitely want to do it.

[Fran]

We definitely want to do it.

[Ria]

We really, really want to do it because you guys have shown up for us time and time again and we love and appreciate you so much. And when we've had events that have been north, the northern areas, we've had a lot of you come down and see our shows, which has been amazing and we're so thankful for that. So we will absolutely be getting to Canada at some point.

[Fran]

Absolutely. And we thank you guys for your continued support even though we haven't been able to make it there. But we are really hoping to in the future. And everybody who is talking about coming to a show or thinking about it, we are so excited to see you guys. I'm really excited for this tour and I loved seeing everybody else excited as well. Same.

[Ria]

It's going to be so fun.

[Fran]

Make sure you're looking out for those tickets. They are on sale and we'll post in the description where you can get tickets on the podcast and on Instagram and all that. So it's easy to find. And you can find it on our stories too. We'll be posting it there as well.

[Ria]

Oh, yeah.

[Fran]

Any other plans for the. For the weekend?

[Ria]

Any other plans for the weekend? G and I are going to the outlet malls.

[Fran]

Yes. Heard about this plan.

[Ria]

Yeah. And that's really my big plan.

[Fran]

Nice.

[Ria]

I don't have anything else going on. You know, when your team's out of the football, it's just wide open, World's Mystic.

[Noah]

You don't have like any interest. Not to make this a football discussion anymore, but like in watching the other games.

[Ria]

No, I absolutely. I won't watch.

[Noah]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

I mean, I'm going to the mall Saturday morning. I'll be back before any. Anything big happens.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But no, I will absolutely be watching. I'm just saying my weekend doesn't revolve around it because that's how like, that's how it was before. So. No. Hoping to have a yummy dinner Friday night and Saturday and that's it. I don't have any other plans.

[Fran]

Me either.

[Ria]

Gonna cuddle up and read our. Our book club book.

[Fran]

Yes, that is true.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Gotta get started on that.

[Ria]

Nothing for you.

[Fran]

Nothing besides chilling. We're just gonna see where the weekend takes us. We might relax. Exactly. We might hit the movies. Ooh, maybe you'll finally see the Housemaid. Yeah. It's a good weekend to do that.

[Ria]

That is. It definitely is.

[Fran]

But Matt really wants to see. Is this thing on as well?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

The Will Arnett.

[Ria]

Will Arnett movie directed by Bradley Cooper.

[Fran]

Yes. Yeah. So we'll see. I don't think we'll hit a double feature.

[Ria]

Gonna duke it out.

[Fran]

Yeah, we will. Rock, Paper, scissors for that.

[Noah]

Why don't you just both go into your own theater?

[Fran]

We could do that and see on.

[Ria]

The other side similar show times.

[Fran]

Yeah, we totally could do that. So we'll see. We shall see. Noah, how about you?

[Noah]

You know, nothing really. I, I, I'm debating on whether to go home or not one. Cause, like, I could watch the Patriots game.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

With my dad and everything. But mainly to meet Pearl because I think she might be gone soon. So, you know.

[Ria]

You haven't met her yet.

[Noah]

No, no.

[Ria]

You got to do his mom's foster dog.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

How was the Book of Mormon?

[Noah]

Oh, yes. I the Book of Mormon last night. My mom, like, didn't tell me that we were going to be, like, legitimately. We were on the third row. I felt like I was on the stage, went into it blind, didn't know, like, anything about the show. And then when they did the actual Book of Mormon song, like, you know, you know. Have you seen it?

[Fran]

No.

[Ria]

No. Oh, I'm actually, to be honest, one of those. I've never seen it.

[Fran]

Yeah, for a review, because we were talking about seeing it.

[Ria]

It's one of Joe, if not Joe's, favorite show.

[Noah]

It was a great show. But there's this one song where I'm like, I'm sure you've heard it, because when they did it, I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I've heard this commercial.

[Ria]

The commercial.

[Noah]

Like, you know that.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Noah]

But it was very funny. My mom had seen it, like, when it first came out, which is, I guess, like 15 years ago or something. So she said obviously they've, like, updated it to be more relevant. But it was really funny.

[Ria]

Joe said he was belly laughing when he saw it for the first time.

[Fran]

These are good endorsements.

[Noah]

Okay. Yeah, there were.

[Fran]

He goes, okay.

[Ria]

It was okay. Maybe not belly laughing, but he did. He found it hilarious.

[Noah]

Yeah, I did find it funny because.

[Fran]

I tried to know if I would lean more Joe's humor or, or.

[Noah]

No, Joe's very funny.

[Fran]

And I feel like Joe.

[Noah]

The thing is, I thought they were very, very funny moments. I'm not a big, like, song guy. Musical. So, like, there are funny moments in the songs, but some of the songs.

[Ria]

Would just add a musical.

[Noah]

Some of the songs went on really long and, like, it's a long show.

[Ria]

Like, I'm not really a big musical guy. Here's my musical review.

[Noah]

Two and a half hours, like, intermission. But, like, it's pretty long. Where I thought they could maybe condense it a little bit. But the performers were really good. Like, very good. And it's like a whole production. Like, there's so many people. There sure is.

[Ria]

What an adorable.

[Fran]

I'm still laughing at. He was belly laughing. Okay.

[Noah]

Really.

[Ria]

I've caught up on. You know, I'm not. I'm not really big on the whole musical thing.

[Fran]

I understand that part more. To be like, this is my review of somebody who's not a big musical guy.

[Noah]

It was funny. I did think it was funny that right outside the theater, you see Whitney Levitt on Chicago, like, giant billboard. And it's like the Book of Mormon.

[Fran]

Like, you know, oh, I see what you did there.

[Noah]

But I enjoyed it.

[Fran]

What's a grading? I'm trying to see where your head's at.

[Noah]

Yeah, see, I'm not like, I don't.

[Ria]

Think you've seen enough to know where to put it on the scale.

[Noah]

I've seen, like, the Lion King. I've seen Glen Carey. Glen Ross. I saw. Oh, I saw. Oh, Mary. That. Yeah, that was really good. That was really good. So, like, I wouldn't say it's. I didn't like it more than oh, Mary, oh, Mary, oh, Mary. I don't want to give it. I feel like I can't give it a grade because I don't know enough about Glengarry. That was like, they're not play.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah. Like, I put musicals and plays in different categories. If I'm gonna be okay.

[Noah]

I kind of just look at it as it's Broadway, you know, like.

[Ria]

Yeah, but it's so different, like, when there's.

[Noah]

But it's like, Wicked is up against movies at the Oscars. It's not, you know, like, yeah, I don't want to give it a grade.

[Fran]

Because he kind of owned you with that.

[Ria]

Well, I mean, they made it a movie. It's a movie musical. But it's still, like, there's multiple genres of movies.

[Noah]

Yeah. In general, I love La La Land.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I'll say that. I love La La Land.

[Spencer House]

I love La La Land.

[Fran]

I've yet to see La La Land.

[Noah]

That's crazy. LA Next week. You honestly watch La La Land. It'll get you, like, hyped to go to la.

[Fran]

Watch La La Land.

[Noah]

Please Watch La Land this weekend. That's my. That's my tangled.

[Fran]

I have to be really in the mood to watch a movie where they're singing.

[Noah]

The singing, though, isn't.

[Fran]

Like, there's musicals and then there's Just. There's just movies that.

[Ria]

Constant.

[Noah]

It's not constant. And it's like it's in a way.

[Fran]

That starts off that way. And I shut it off.

[Noah]

That's what I was gonna say. The first scene, just get past that. Cause when I saw it for the first time, I was like, oh, no, it's not like that.

[Fran]

Cause I remember the first time I put it on, I was sick and I thought, oh, my God, I can't listen to this.

[Noah]

You know what the first scene is to me? It's like, what was that Liev Schreiber show where they all danced together?

[Fran]

Oh, the Perfect Couple.

[Noah]

And it made. No. And it didn't really have anything to do with anything. That's kind of what that is.

[Fran]

It's just like an intro.

[Noah]

Okay.

[Fran]

Hearing about that makes me.

[Ria]

That's like the Love island dance number to start.

[Fran]

Which almost had me not watching season six.

[Ria]

You just gotta fight through the Love Island.

[Noah]

Yeah. No, no. The music in this, like, I haven't in a while, but I used to just listen to the music of Lala Island.

[Ria]

The music is great.

[Noah]

Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone. Like, it's a Noah top 30.

[Fran]

I know.

[Ria]

It is.

[Fran]

And listen, we've been talking about La La Land for years, and it's one of those that I just haven't. Haven't come around to.

[Noah]

I think it's actually a perfect time for you to watch it because, you know, la trip, you'll get you in the mood.

[Ria]

Yeah. And you'll really fully be able to understand the land.

[Fran]

You didn't really sell me on the Book of Mormon.

[Noah]

The Book of Mormon? No, no. I'll say it's. It's over an 8. I just want to get, like. I don't know, like, I have. I'm not well versed, so I don't want to.

[Fran]

Like, I feel better about the choice we have made. We were talking about Valentine's Day and we were like, oh, maybe we'll see a show. Like, we haven't gone to a show. My mom and no. And we were like, going to do the Book of Mormon and then we landed on going to the Friends Experience instead.

[Noah]

So not a show.

[Ria]

So not a show because not a show at all.

[Fran]

Talking about going to the Friends Experience, like, so much and we still haven't gone. And I was like, you know what? That would be fun.

[Ria]

That's a cute date night. Yeah, for sure.

[Noah]

Yeah. My mom did say it's still open to the Book of Mormon. When she first watched it, it seemed More like, edgy. And at the time, it was like, this is a cool. And I think just the way the world is now and, like, the stuff that's put out, it's not as, like.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, things have caught up to it.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Like, when it came out, it was.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

It was, like, shocking, I will say.

[Noah]

I was just, like, it's. I was more, like, thinking the whole time, like, it's just impressive. Like, the amount of lines and, like, just the production that goes into this is pretty impressive.

[Ria]

You were impressed by the Broadway magic.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

It is theater. It is impressive. I really want to go see Chess, which is the new Lea Michele show.

[Fran]

You're going to see a show with Lea Michele after what she did to us?

[Ria]

Yeah, I would. Yeah.

[Fran]

I think Lea Michele will look right at you in the audience and just walk off stage.

[Ria]

She's got. She could, but that would be bad.

[Fran]

For a little background for people who may know. Not know. We were supposed to interview Lea Michelle at the Sirius XM studios. We were standing right next to her in the lobby of Sirius XM when we got a text that Lea Michelle decided to cancel the interview. We were standing.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

For how far me and Fran are away from each other right now. Yeah. She canceled right in front of our face.

[Ria]

Yes, she did. She did. But I just think this cast is fantastic, and I've been getting a lot of Aaron Tvets. I hope I'm saying his last name right. Performances and such on my TikTok. He's just extremely talented. He was in Gossip Girl. He played Nate's brother.

[Fran]

Maybe so many siblings and shit in that damn show, I forget.

[Ria]

Yeah. I want to say he's played Fiera before. He's been in a ton of stuff on Broadway. But tv. TV got. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Trip. Remember Trip? Kind of Trip Vanderbilt. I don't think it was his.

[Noah]

Oh, that was a trivia question at one point, I think.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And obviously his name was Tripp.

[Ria]

Yeah. William William Vanderbilt iii. But called Trip.

[Fran]

But called Trip.

[Ria]

So, yes, I was. Because I was gonna say he was in gospel, but he's in this as well with Lea Michelle. And I had seen, like, ads for it. And then the other day, Joe and I were walking and, like, you know, the class in New York City, Bust goes by and had the ad for it across the. The bus. And Joe just, like, enjoys chess, backgammon, those things. We just saw Chess in big letters and was like, we should go see that.

[Fran]

Yeah, why not? Okay.

[Ria]

Chat. He saw Chess, and it's in which is real. It is. It's set during the cold war. During uses a world chess championship as a backdrop for a love triangle between an American grandmaster, a Soviet grandmaster, and a Hungarian American woman caught between them.

[Fran]

Oh, that's fun.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I like that premise.

[Ria]

So. And the songs, I believe were written the musical. The music is by Benny Anderson and Bjorn. I'm not even try to pronounce his loss. I'm gonna it up. But he is from abba.

[Fran]

Oh.

[Ria]

So I. That's on my list of shows.

[Fran]

That's a good.

[Ria]

I think it's a very popular one right now. Hot ticket, as they call it.

[Fran]

Hot ticket.

[Ria]

And I think so is Chicago, where. When. When Whitney starts hot ticket as well. I saw people are really scooping up tickets fast for the one she doesn't.

[Noah]

Yeah. It's crazy how many shows are on Broadway.

[Ria]

It sure is.

[Noah]

And like, they do two shows a day on Wednesday.

[Fran]

Mm. It's an exciting town, Noah.

[Noah]

Learning all I live, like, right there. By the way, you guys, I was gonna say, if you go to a play, stop by.

[Ria]

Knock Knock.

[Fran]

We'll make sure to do that.

[Ria]

Yep. Knock knock. Well, she's going here for friends experience.

[Fran]

If you want to make fun of me for going the friend Experience.

[Ria]

I'm not making fun of you for going to the friends Experience. I think it's funny that, like, I think it's just a such a lower caliber date night than, like, a show, you know, like Valentine's Day. I. I also am not.

[Janae]

I'm.

[Ria]

I'm not down for, like, you have to do something crazy on Valentine's Day.

[Fran]

Yeah. It sounds like you're judging the do.

[Ria]

Something crazy on Valentine's Day, but I'm just laughing from the jump from let's go to a show to actually, you know what? Let's do the friends experience.

[Fran]

Well, we were talking and knowing ourselves. If we were to go to dinner before and have a couple drinks.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

We might end up in a giggly mood. And which we. Which happens. And then to go sit at a show for two and a half hours.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

We might not want to. Yeah. Whereas if we go to dinner or if we go to the friend's friend. Friends Experience. It's funny.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know what I'm saying?

[Ria]

Yes. Yes.

[Fran]

So you guys can make fun of me all you want, but I've been wanting to go.

[Ria]

The friends experience is also not as strict on time. You can go whenever you want.

[Fran]

Exactly. You can buy a ticket and go at any point during the day. So we can go before dinner because.

[Ria]

We'Re flexible with your dinner.

[Fran]

Well, you have to go before dinner because I think it closes at like 8 o'.

[Ria]

Clock.

[Fran]

But you can go before dinner and just wait until you see the pictures of us all over the sets.

[Ria]

I'm waiting to see that picture of you guys on that couch.

[Noah]

I did that with the Seinfeld. Seinfeld had like a similar thing where they recreated the set, which was cool.

[Ria]

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

[Fran]

We all have our interests. Yeah, everybody have their interests.

[Ria]

Exactly. Exactly.

[Fran]

All right, let's get into the rest of the topics. Harry Styles new album March 6th very, very exciting. Josh Safdie revealed the alternate ending for Marty Supreme. He had. Thank God he didn't go through with it. The Euphoria trailer was released for season three. Pete Davidson announces his new podcast, the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. Cast was revealed.

[Fran]

This is so exciting. What everybody thought to be true about Harry Styles teasing a new album finally happened. He revealed on his Instagram that he's coming out with a new album March 6th. It's called Kiss all the Time Disco occasionally. Frickin love this. You know it's a wordy. It's a wordy title. Yeah, wordy for an album, sure. But I'll take it. It's a great motto.

[Ria]

I'll be honest. I saw it right when it came out and then I was doing other things and I was thinking about it and I wasn't. I didn't see any headlines or anything like that. I just saw his post and I thought, oh, are these two separate songs? And he's announcing just. He has two songs coming out on March 6th. Like, I didn't know if it was a full album announcement or just like, maybe the first single or a new song. Just teasing a new song. So in my mind I was like, oh, Kiss all the time Disco Occasionally were like, two different things. And then when I saw the headlines, it was like his new album, Kiss all the Time Disco Occasionally. I was like, yeah.

[Fran]

Oh, it's one thing I was confused.

[Noah]

On how, like, where was that confirmed? Like, who said it's a new album? Because I was like, oh, it's a new song.

[Ria]

Everyone says.

[Noah]

I know everyone's saying it, but I'm like, is that just going off his Instagram? Like, I don't know, maybe like a.

[Ria]

I'm sure there's a press. I'm sure. Like, when Harry Styles announces a new album, every outlet knows it's a new album.

[Fran]

Right. They're not guessing.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

That it's a new album.

[Ria]

You're not.

[Fran]

You're definitely being told that it's produced it.

[Ria]

Harry Styles returns to this first album in four years. This is on the Rolling Stones set for.

[Noah]

Oh.

[Ria]

Earlier this week teased the announcement with a series of billboards and posters plastered around the world, each including a message to fans. See you very soon. One read, it's all there waiting. We also saw the new websites and he put out that voice message where, you know, we belong together.

[Fran]

And.

[Ria]

And that's it. So here we go again.

[Noah]

Feature 12 tracks. That's a perfect number for an album.

[Spencer House]

Oh, my God.

[Fran]

Thank God.

[Ria]

Noah's thrill.

[Noah]

12 is the number for an album.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah, that is a good number.

[Noah]

He's good about. I don't think he's ever put out, like, a super long album.

[Fran]

It's always concise, no quality over quantity.

[Ria]

12 new tracks.

[Fran]

I'm so excited. I love the theme of this album, but here's the thing. I'm. I'm keeping my expectations not low because who would have low expectations for Harry, but on the lower side just because I love the theme so much and I feel like I'm gonna fucking love this, but I don't want to let myself down. And listen and go, actually, I don't really like this. And that happened with Harry's house, because Fine Line is one of, if not my favorite album of all time by anybody ever.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And then when Harry's house came out, I was like, oh, my God, yes, Harry's house. And then I didn't really like Harry's house, which was a huge letdown for myself. So I'm just trying to keep it baseline for now, where it's like, eee. I'm screaming on the inside. But I'm keeping it cool. I'm keeping it chill. I don't want Harry to know how much this means to me and how I think he's saving us all with this album and the fact that I feel like he's just coming down from above and just touching us each individually and healing all of us. I'm gonna keep it. Not at that. I'm just gonna keep it a little bit lower and more of like a. Ah, it's chill. Thanks, Harry.

[Ria]

Yeah, I'm very excited, really excited for this. There is a disco ball on the album.

[Fran]

Love it.

[Ria]

At least. I'm. I'm assuming that this is super chill about this. I'm assuming this is the album cover. But I do get what you're saying in the sense that you could have a Taylor Swift esque situation where she announces her album's called the Life of a Showgirl, and everyone sees all the album art and they think that there's like going to be some sort of musical theme that goes along with Life of a Showgirl. And that wasn't necessarily the case. Like, it was not. Maybe the sound people thought the Life of a Showgirl would sound like. And when you have disco right there in the title, I think in the album title, I think people probably would think, oh, maybe there's more of like a 70s sound we're going for here.

[Fran]

Yeah. If some. Like. I listen often to 70s and 80s disco playlists, and so you can sense the excitement that one might have when they hear disco and see a disco ball. Right. And someone who incorporated disco balls into their wedding and everything, who loves disco and disco things. So, yeah, I'm trying to keep it.

[Ria]

Minimal because let's remember, he says disco occasionally.

[Noah]

Yeah, it'll be funny if it's like 10 love songs and two disco songs.

[Ria]

But he doesn't say disc. It's not Kiss Occasionally Disco all the time. But it's Kiss all the Time disco occasionally.

[Fran]

I'm also into kissing all the time as well, so.

[Noah]

So what does that translate to music wise? Kissing?

[Fran]

Smoochy smoochy lovey lovey dovey. Yeah, maybe.

[Ria]

I don't know. Kiss all the time makes me feel. Kiss all the time. Like gives me more like lusty vibes.

[Fran]

You keep reminding me. It's saying occasionally disco occasionally.

[Ria]

All 12 songs may not have disco.

[Fran]

Right. It's only an occasional. Occasional popping disco.

[Ria]

No, I. I would be under the impression that this will have a lot of 70s inspiration. I'm going to put that out into the universe because I feel like that's the direction this is going in.

[Fran]

I love.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

70S and 80s disco. Yeah, I know it's not about that, but. No, I know disco occasionally. I just love that as a saying.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Disco occasionally. It's so fun.

[Ria]

It is. I do love the name of the album. I think it is fun.

[Fran]

Don't let me down, Harry Harrison.

[Noah]

Franny, you're not going to show your Benson Boone shirt on camera.

[Fran]

Oh, not while we're talking.

[Ria]

We're talking about Harry.

[Fran]

Don't turn me off.

[Ria]

Yeah, sorry. I feel like this is Harry's own topic. This isn't about Benson. They can live at the same time. They can live at the same time. We don't have to knock Benson to lift up Harry. Thank you, Sarah.

[Noah]

Would you want a Harry version of this shirt?

[Ria]

I would have a hairy version of this shirt.

[Fran]

I would, but I want one more. More of the ones that says Harry and then it's Harry.

[Ria]

Here's a Benson version of Benson Boone. TJ made this shirt for me.

[Noah]

Oh, that was like a custom made.

[Fran]

Custom made.

[Noah]

They don't even sell those.

[Ria]

This might be one of a kind. I don't know. On one of those websites.

[Noah]

We should hang that right behind your head.

[Fran]

I don't want to look at that. Sorry.

[Ria]

He's not ugly.

[Fran]

No, I never said he was ugly.

[Ria]

Well, you. It's only his face on here. I don't want to look at that.

[Fran]

It's just a lot of.

[Ria]

It's a lot of his face. It's a lot of his face.

[Fran]

It's too much. You ever have too much Boon?

[Ria]

Sometimes you can over boon.

[Noah]

You could so overdosed on Boone.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yes. That was my gift. And it finally. It took a while to arrive. It took weeks and weeks to show up.

[Fran]

Well, it's custom. It's custom.

[Ria]

That's what I'm saying.

[Fran]

Makes sense.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm so happy about how he's doing his own thing. We're excited for Harry. It's really not that far away. March 6th. So exciting.

[Fran]

I just find it kind of rude that he did. He's not putting it out before our first show in Charlotte because that I. I would have loved to incorporate some songs.

[Noah]

You think there won't be a single that comes out before the album?

[Ria]

I was thinking that I. I'm leaning yes. Harry, I love you. I'm leaning yes. And you know what? That just took over. Like, that just took over.

[Noah]

Did he have a single for his.

[Fran]

Last song that really just.

[Ria]

Something just happened there, like. Forgot you were on air. I forgot the cameras were on for a second.

[Noah]

I totally looks like he changed his Spotify picture.

[Fran]

Harry did.

[Noah]

It's him, like, cook or in the kitchen.

[Ria]

He had multiple singles that came out for Harry's House before the album.

[Noah]

As it was. As it was, right?

[Fran]

As it was. As it was.

[Noah]

As it was.

[Ria]

As it was.

[Noah]

Yeah. As it was. That was my answer to that.

[Fran]

As it was, as it was.

[Noah]

I think that was the only one now.

[Ria]

So I'm leaning.

[Noah]

Well, he played at Coachella, remember?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

What. What are you talking about on Spotify? Different picture.

[Ria]

Like his profile.

[Noah]

Like the banner. The banner. If you go to Harry Styles, it's.

[Fran]

Like he's not in the kitchen.

[Noah]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

He is not on my page. He's.

[Ria]

He's not in the kitchen.

[Noah]

He's holding, like, a pan.

[Fran]

That's from Harry's house.

[Noah]

No, no, no, no. Oh, this is. No. This. Is that what you're saying?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

No, look. Look on my computer.

[Fran]

That's not from Harry's house.

[Ria]

Oh, on the app, it's different. Oh, the computer's different.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

He's only rolled that out on desktops.

[Fran]

Wow.

[Ria]

That's special because it doesn't. It's this. I still have that on my. On here, too.

[Fran]

I was very black and white thought, is Harry giving Noah a private viewing?

[Noah]

Well, maybe I'm a top fan.

[Fran]

What the fuck? Harry. Harry. That Kevin Hart special.

[Ria]

I don't think I know that.

[Fran]

No.

[Noah]

I don't know if I remember. Like, Harry.

[Fran]

Oh, I was such a big Kevin Hart fan.

[Noah]

I. I used to watch this stuff.

[Ria]

Too, but there's a. There's a playlist that came out that says Kiss all the time. Disco occasionally available March 6th. Made like it's on the Harry Styles Spotify account. It's just all his songs. Like, it's just every album. It's just all from himself.

[Fran]

I'm so excited for this, though.

[Ria]

Yeah. I really do hope that he does put out a single.

[Fran]

That would be really nice of Him.

[Noah]

He definitely doesn't have to. He's big enough.

[Ria]

He definitely doesn't have to now, but maybe, like, sometimes in a couple weeks.

[Noah]

To not have a single, especially when it's only 12 songs, where it's like, the more signals he puts out, the less like.

[Ria]

Yeah, but sometimes I feel like that happens when artists drop a new album and they announce it with no time, like, no advance notice. Where it's like, hey, my new album comes out Friday. All the songs.

[Noah]

That's what Beyonce's done the past, you know?

[Ria]

But I feel like when artists announce it ahead of time, there's more stuff in between.

[Noah]

There's gonna be a rollout.

[Fran]

Maybe he's doing a rollout.

[Noah]

Maybe he's doing press.

[Ria]

Maybe he's doing press.

[Fran]

Harry, we have a beautiful, fuzzy little pillow for you to sit in front of. We could put a disco ball in here too. Do you think any songs will be inspired by Zoey and his romance?

[Ria]

That's a good question. It's more new, so it depends on, you know, how long he's been working on these bad boys. Maybe one snuck in there at the end.

[Fran]

Zoe Kravitz shared her shrooms with Harry Styles.

[Ria]

Maybe that's how he got to disco occasionally.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Electric Lady Studios together recently. Or am I making that up? Maybe him and Zoe.

[Ria]

Maybe.

[Fran]

I don't know. You were dreaming about it.

[Noah]

What if Lenny Kraft is on the album?

[Ria]

That would be so sick. That would be so sick.

[Noah]

Feel like he'd fit in.

[Ria]

Totally. I also just feel like if he's testing this album with Zoe first, like, what an amazing person to play for first. Like, I trust Zoe's judgment completely.

[Fran]

I do, too.

[Ria]

And she wouldn't let him put out a dud.

[Fran]

No. A real stinker. Yeah, I don'. Think so.

[Ria]

Yeah. I mean, it's quite literally impossible in my opinion, anyway. I just don't think he's capable of doing that, but.

[Fran]

And then when your dad is, Lenny Kravitz could be like, ah, yeah.

[Ria]

It's just in your blood, right?

[Noah]

Did you guys watch High Fidelity?

[Fran]

The show? Yes. No. I loved it.

[Noah]

I can't. Oh, wow.

[Fran]

Can't believe it got canceled.

[Noah]

Cancellation ever.

[Ria]

I never did. And you want to know why? Because I was late to it, and then it got canceled, so it was, like, so good.

[Fran]

High Fidelity in the society. Two of the worst show cancellations.

[Ria]

I agree on one, since I haven't seen the other, but I back you guys up with how much you, like, back us up. You just save High Fidelity.

[Fran]

You Trust us on this.

[Ria]

And everyone, I feel like on that cast says they wish that they got more time to do that show.

[Noah]

I don't understand how that.

[Ria]

Was it a Covid loss?

[Noah]

No, I think it was just like.

[Ria]

No one watched it.

[Noah]

I don't think no one watched it, but I don't know what it was.

[Fran]

You're looking at two people right now.

[Ria]

No, no, I know you guys watched it, but I'm saying what.

[Noah]

But, like, I don't understand why, like, they can't just bring it somewhere. Like, I'm sure that another streaming service would be like, yeah, we'd want Zoe Krabitz now.

[Fran]

So many years has gone by. Maybe Zoe doesn't even want to do it anymore. You know, she's probably. Maybe she's passing.

[Noah]

She does.

[Fran]

I'm still waiting for Big LIL LIES Season 3.

[Ria]

Season 1 did come out February 2020.

[Noah]

Ah.

[Fran]

So, yeah, that could be a.

[Ria]

It could have really been a. Could have been a covet situation.

[Fran]

Totally. Could have been just.

[Ria]

Just, like, poor timing.

[Noah]

You know, it's funny because then on that show, she was like, what's his name? Thomas Doherty. He played a guy. Oh, yeah. He's gonna Tell me Lies. He played the. Like a musician. And remember, she was, like, dating him in the show now in real life.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

Well, maybe one day I'll get a revival.

[Fran]

I don't think so.

[Ria]

Time's past.

[Fran]

I think so. I wouldn't hate it, though. I'm still waiting for Big Little Lies season three, though. That's why.

[Ria]

Well, that's been, like, fully announced.

[Fran]

It's been fully announced. It's been in the works for a while. But time is a ticking, ladies.

[Ria]

Yeah. It's just hard to get that group together. I'm sure.

[Fran]

Together. Ladies.

[Ria]

Scheduling wise, I gotta get all those. Those are some big dogs.

[Fran]

All together. I don't mean to yell. Harry's giving us enough, but Harry maybe let Zoe leave Rome once in a while to go work on Big Little Lies.

[Ria]

Well, they were just in. Were they just here?

[Noah]

Zoe was at the golden by herself.

[Fran]

You're right. You're right. Sorry, I'm just. I'm harping on.

[Ria]

They do are. They are in Rome often. Which I am jealous of.

[Fran]

Oh, I hope I run into them.

[Ria]

Hope so too. Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed.

[Noah]

How has he made an album?

[Ria]

Forget you're just walking around Rome with your family and they're, like, taking it all in and you're just, like, on high alert, like Harry Styles.

[Fran]

Listen, you can go see the Coliseum.

[Ria]

Yeah, I'M taking the Harry Styles tour.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

Where all the places he frequents. I'm sure you can find out.

[Fran]

Find out online.

[Noah]

Yeah, I want to mention of like marathon or something to do with running in the album.

[Ria]

Oh, and I'm running. Running.

[Noah]

What was his name?

[Ria]

You're hoping for a callback to the marathon.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Look, we all have hopes for this album, clearly, and I. And I hope all our dreams come true.

[Fran]

I hope so, too. I love you, Harry. Moving on.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

It's like I want to scream it from the mountaintops. You do. You did.

[Ria]

You did.

[Fran]

Sorry. You did.

[Ria]

And we all heard you.

[Fran]

Yeah, you did. Twice. Don't have to do it a third time. Moving on. Josh Safdie reveals alternate ending for Marty supreme in which he had Kevin o' Leary as a vampire biting Marty's neck in the end.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

First of all, I can't even imagine how pissed we all would have been watching that movie and seeing Kevin o' Leary turn into a vampire at some point.

[Ria]

No, I. Yeah, we were ill fitting. It would have. It would have just been the end, which I think would have. We all would have walked out like, what in the world. So Josh Safdie told Sean Baker during a recent episode of the 824 podcast that there is a line that Kevin O' Leary says his character, Milton Rockwell, paying off Rockwell's I'm a vampire line, which he says earlier, earlier in the third act. And then Josh said, he turns that shoe store into the most successful shop on Orchard Street. He changes it to Marty Mauser Shoes. He says of the scrapped ending franchises. Franchises again. Leaves New York State, becomes a very rich man. All the metrics of success are there. His family grows. He leaves the city, has this beautiful house, and it ends with him at a concert for Tears for Fears with his granddaughter. There are great seats up front and he's watching it and he's thinking about everybody wants to rule the world and youth and what does it mean? And he has the success, but he's not doing the thing that he believed he was born on the planet to do. Safdie then dropped the punchline. You're on his eyes. We built the prosthetics for Timmy and everything, and Mr. Wonderful shows up behind him and takes a bite out of his neck. And that was the last image. And he hasn't aged. Safdie recalled that when A24 read the ending, studio exes asked him, this is a mistake. Right? O' Leary recently told Variety that he was all for the vampire vampiric payoff sharing this, after he went as far as to make digital teeth, he added, I know that sounds nuts, but to me, that would be the right punishment. Because o' Leary has shared that he was really unsatisfied with the conclusion of Marty supreme, given that his character gets fucked over while Marty and his family have a Kumbaya ending.

[Fran]

Listen, I don't think that this movie would be up for any awards. I think it would have ruined Timothee Chalamet's run at an Oscar.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah. If this and couldn't have him be.

[Fran]

A Kevin o' Leary being a vampire biting him in the neck.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Also with sinners, like, being out, it.

[Fran]

Would just been like. It's so. I'm so. With a 24, having the reaction of. Did you accidentally put this in here? Did you. Is this a test? It's like an Entourage when. Why am I blanking? No, why am I blanking on the director's name in Entourage?

[Noah]

Oh, Billy.

[Ria]

Billy, Billy, Billy.

[Fran]

Yes, Billy.

[Noah]

What's his last name?

[Fran]

What's his last name?

[Noah]

I was just watching the other day. I hate suits. Billy. Yeah, Walsh.

[Fran]

Billy Walsh. When Billy Walsh puts the fake ending in the movie, and Vince reads it and he's like. And then all of a sudden, he sold on it, and Billy's like, yeah, I got you to say yes, but that's not actually the ending.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

It feels like that. It just feels out of place. And I'm so glad that they didn't do it.

[Ria]

Thank God. That would have made no sense. Kevin o' Leary wanted Rachel to die. Is this a spoiler?

[Fran]

I guess, kind of, that she doesn't die.

[Ria]

She doesn't die. But, yeah. Kevin o' Leary suggested that Rachel should have died in childbirth at the end as punishment for Marty's selfishness. Safdie allegedly considered the change, but ultimately deemed it too, quote, sick.

[Noah]

I like that Kevin Leary is trying to put, like, have his own input, right?

[Ria]

Like, it's like, okay, you know what, Mr. Wonderful, slow your fucking roll. You're not writing the movie.

[Fran]

Say, this is your first fucking movie.

[Janae]

Slow down.

[Ria]

But are you surprised? Like, that's just so something Mr. Wonderful would do.

[Fran]

It's like, try to direct the role.

[Ria]

Like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna come in as an actor. But here's a few suggestions I have for you.

[Noah]

Did you see the report where it said that he said there was, like, one scene where he did, like, 30 takes and he goes, all right, I think we got it. Like, we can move on. And Josh Safdie was like, what the fuck are you talking about? Like, yeah, I tell you, when we're moving on, like, we're not done.

[Ria]

You know, he's just one of those guys where his entire life and career now, especially in the shark tank age, has been based off of giving advice. And like, now that's just led to, like, giving unsolicited advice. And now it's just part of him because I think he just assumes that everybody wants advice from him. So it's like, well, come sit down with me and let me tell you how I think this should go. Because everyone's constantly asking him for advice.

[Fran]

Right. When you hire Mr. Wonderful, kind of comes with the territory.

[Ria]

You just have to take that unsolicited advice.

[Fran]

But if you're Josh after you tell him to shut the fuck up and listen to you.

[Ria]

Exactly, exactly. But, you know. Absolutely correct. Vampires was the wrong way to go, especially with the timing. It would have been bizarre if this movie just, like, shockingly ended in a vampire twist when there was such an incredibly well done vampire.

[Noah]

Another ends and Leonardo DiCaprio is a vampire.

[Ria]

Everybody turns into vampires. Sinners was such a hit that they're like, what about everything ending with vampires?

[Fran]

Yeah, it just becomes the parody movie. Vampires suck. Are you gonna watch Begonia?

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Ria]

It is. You know, I. I do try and watch all, like, the big nom nominated movies and such. And I know we haven't gotten to the Oscar nominations yet, but that's on my list, I think. Oscar, I think like this week end, perhaps I would like to do that. And Sentimental Value, I want to watch because that one you can stream as well now, I think.

[Fran]

Yes, you can.

[Ria]

So that's definitely on my list. But yeah, that would have been crazy. Amy Poehler had Ryan Coogler on good hang this week and it was really so good.

[Noah]

He's like the coolest guy in the world.

[Ria]

I really highly recommend. Such a fantastic interview. I love that, like, he really. Did you see that?

[Noah]

He brought his teacher to. I don't know if it was the Golden Globes, but, like, it might have been the Golden Globes. He brought his, like, school teacher.

[Ria]

That's awesome.

[Noah]

Like, maybe college or. She was the one who told him, like, yeah, you should write for Hollywood.

[Fran]

Wow, that's really cool.

[Ria]

I really am just so impressed by everything cool. And he just has, like. He was so thankful to Amy for having him on and was like, so honored that Amy wanted to talk to him too. And it was just very sweet. I really, I. Very great interview. If you haven't listened to it yet. I really, really liked it. But yeah.

[Fran]

That is so cool. Moving along. The euphoria. The euphoria. Season three trailer came out.

[Ria]

Yeah, it did. It did.

[Fran]

I mean I just.

[Ria]

Let me tell you something that.

[Fran]

Sorry, no, no. Long pause.

[Ria]

And long pause was necessary.

[Fran]

Was.

[Ria]

I appreciate that. Long pause.

[Fran]

Was it necessary.

[Ria]

That was the right response to this, actually.

[Fran]

Thank you. Was it necessary to make Sydney Sweeney an only fans girl? Was it absolutely dire? Because didn't they write Kat out of the show and that was kind of her storyline.

[Ria]

Yeah, right.

[Fran]

Was being like a cam girl.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah. Here's the thing. I think if this is what bothered me too, because if you were to this feels. It just feels incredibly unoriginal to me in the sense that all the time in between season two and season three and all the success that these actors and actresses have had and the like stereotypes that have been thrown on them and all these things, writing this out is. Well, now Sydney Sweeney's an only fans girl. Makes me think a 15 year old.

[Fran]

Boy wrote this script, you know, 1000%. You're gonna tell me my wife's spread eagle on the Internet.

[Ria]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But. Well, it's. It's gonna be crazy. I'm sure we know that those two are getting married. That's in the trailer. There's also a very. And it's probably gonna end in disaster, destruction, death, who knows? Because. And do you see there's one. There's one like split second blink and you miss it. Frame of Nate's face just like covered in blood.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

So I don't know.

[Fran]

I. You couldn't. For Sydney Sweeney, you couldn't just make her like Cassie's role just a sad sack of shit.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

Which is where it seemed like there that was going. Ending up in this relationship with Nate and being miserable instead, like you said, it really does feel like just a bunch of 15 year old boys wrote a script about Sidney Sweeney and was like, we're gonna make her an only fans girl. That would be sick.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

We could see her boobs some more.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

It's like I. I really did take a deep breath after seeing this.

[Ria]

I agree. I. I agree.

[Fran]

And.

[Ria]

And you know all the jokes we made of people of being like, you know, it's gonna be. Russell owes these people money. It's like, well, they are after her. It's like right there. And which is good. I'm glad it's not just completely detached from everything that's happened previously because it's like season two ends, and you're like, well, and then whatever. Obviously, the people that are after her in season three are the same people.

[Fran]

What? I'm just making content.

[Spencer House]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Look, I'm really hoping that they have more of a side storyline going, and Zendaya, like, gets the majority of.

[Fran]

The storytelling, but, yeah, it's become quite impossible to not talk about.

[Janae]

Yeah.

[Fran]

The absurdity of, like, where her roles end up sometimes.

[Ria]

And. And what's a. What's Alexa Demi's character? His name?

[Fran]

Maddie.

[Ria]

Maddie. And then there's, like, in the trailers, there's a part where Maddie's like, I'm not a stripper. But then it looked like. Or hooker. She said, I'm not a hooker. Then it also made me look like she's a stripper.

[Fran]

No, that's Rosalia.

[Ria]

Oh, that was Rosalia dancing on the pole.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

Oh, I thought that was Maddie for a second. I gotcha. Rosalia's in season three of Euphoria.

[Fran]

Yes. Yes, she is.

[Ria]

I completely missed that.

[Fran]

Yeah. No idea where this season's gonna end up.

[Ria]

I completely missed that.

[Fran]

I don't think you did. I think you're maybe just forgetting it, because I think we talked about her being seen on the set.

[Ria]

I must have just look up. I must have just forgotten Rosalia.

[Fran]

Paparazzi. Euphoria.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the first thing that shows up is Rosalia Euphoria.

[Fran]

Because we. I think we did talk about it on. On the show.

[Ria]

I gotcha. I gotcha. Yep.

[Fran]

She was seen in some still shots.

[Ria]

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

[Fran]

Yeah. So I think she's playing because it seems like Jules is maybe in. Caught up in that as well.

[Ria]

Yeah, I gotcha.

[Fran]

It will be interesting. We will be tuning in. Yeah. Probably be annoyed with.

[Ria]

Right. You just, like. It's like, you want to know how it all ends.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

Because this has to be it.

[Noah]

Right.

[Fran]

Absolutely has to be. They have to end Euphoria with this season.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

It can't go on any longer.

[Ria]

Have they said it's gonna be the last one?

[Fran]

I'm pretty sure. Right. Am I making that up?

[Ria]

I don't know.

[Noah]

I don't know if it's, like, officially been said.

[Fran]

Right.

[Noah]

But it doesn't seem like any of them would ever want to do that.

[Ria]

Yeah. We're skipping five years. It's coming out April 12th.

[Fran]

Yes. Euphoria. Season three is expected to be the final season.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah. Rue is south of the border in Mexico and in debt to drug dealer Lori Sidney Sweeney's. Unhappy. Cassie and Jacob Lorries. Nate are engaged and living in the suburbs and eventually get married. Jules is in art school. Maddie is working at a Hollywood talent agency. And Lexi is working as an assistant to a showrunner played by new cast member Sharon Stone. Yep. So that's where we're at. Levinson has said that being out of the safety net of school is what the new season is about. The one thing we all agreed on is we can't go back to high school. Although many, many shows have had 30 year old high school students, we're not. Five years felt like a natural place to jump because if they had gone to college, they'd be out of college at that time. That makes sense.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah. So there's a. There's a lot of new cast members. Rosalia Marshawn lynch is in this season.

[Fran]

Really?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

What else was he in recently?

[Ria]

I forgot. Maybe like a big. Something big. I feel like a movie. He did some other movie or. He's been doing a ton of commercials too. I know he's always on commercials, but.

[Fran]

Yeah, maybe that's. I feel like he was. Maybe, Maybe it was euphoria. Maybe.

[Ria]

I just saw that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

So.

[Ria]

All right, well, April, we have that to look forward to.

[Fran]

Yeah, I mean, we're looking forward to it.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

With hesitance. Yeah.

[Ria]

I just, it's just like. I mean, I'm excited to see if there is any semblance of saving the magic that was the first season.

[Fran]

You know, we can hold on to hope.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

While we're on the topic of Euphoria, Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade were seen together again. This nyc, this on and off relationship, just can't quit. After the Frankenstein premiere, it seemed as though things had cooled off and that they were getting back together for the Frankenstein premiere. And then it was like, nope, they are not getting back together. It is over. They're done. And now, boom. They're seen. Yeah. In New York City.

[Ria]

I saw these pictures and in the, in the studio we were talking about it because I was like, oh, it seems like they're back on. And we were split in the studio. Like, where haven't they been back on? It's like you're just stuck on whether they're on, they're off, they're on, they're off. I think every article you open up about them is like, back off, question mark, Back on, question mark. So Page Six wrote back on. They were reunited in New York City more than two months after they allegedly had fully split that's what came out after the Frankenstein premiere, was that she was there. But then they broke up after that. But they were seen leaving Cafe Clooney after having dinner with Jacob's parents.

[Fran]

Shit.

[Ria]

Yeah, that.

[Fran]

I don't think if you're not back together, you're not going to dinner with the parents.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You're kind of keeping them away.

[Ria]

Oh, shit. I know exactly where I was walking Olive and I always walk her kind of like around Chelsea. And the SVA theater in Chelsea had a big showing of Frankenstein and it was like Jacob Elordi, as Frankenstein was flashing on the. On the marquee.

[Noah]

And.

[Ria]

And I didn't realize it was a Q and A they were there. Oh, shit. Says following dinner, the stars were seen arriving at a Frankenstein Q and A event at SVA theaters.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. You could have seen them yourself.

[Ria]

Probably walked right past them.

[Fran]

Damn.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Well, I think that these two just can't quit each other. And you know what?

[Ria]

They can't. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing, to be honest.

[Fran]

I was going to say, though, just like, good for them for keeping it up.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Cuz I feel like.

[Ria]

But is it.

[Fran]

But I just feel like before this, Jacob Elordi was in multiple different relationships that weren't, you know.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Standing for a while. But this one has held strong.

[Ria]

It has.

[Fran]

In its moments.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

On and off for years.

[Ria]

They're strong in the sense that they always get back together.

[Fran]

Right. It's strong in the sense where they can't quit.

[Ria]

Right. Not strong in the sense they keep breaking up.

[Fran]

Yes. It's not very stable.

[Ria]

In October, a source had told people that they were not getting back together after briefly rekindling the month prior. And the insider had claimed it's a fully over. Well, they live to surprise us.

[Fran]

All right. Love is not dead. These two are getting dinner.

[Ria]

At the time, the source claimed, Olivia was, quote, more obsessed. Obsessed. More upset about or obsessed with Jacob every day now. More upset about what's going on with her father, which, you know what? Super fair. I kind of forget all about that. That her parents were splitting up or in the process of splitting up after being married for 28 years. And remember John Stamos did that interview. He was really shitting on him.

[Fran]

He was.

[Ria]

Which, like, I just feel like you gotta be a really bad guy, John Stamos, to start talking shit publicly about you like that. And he's always. He's. Well, he's always had Laurie's back, but it just you know, maybe. Maybe in her own bubble of family stuff. It was a lot going on and they had to put things on the. On the back burner for a second. And here they are back to back. Not, you know, not back together, but mingling. Mingling. They were first like did 20. That was 20. 21.

[Christy]

Yes.

[Ria]

When we saw them.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

I mean we're going on five years. I know they crazy long time.

[Fran]

And we could probably expect for another article in a couple of months to say that they split and then a couple months after that for them to be back together.

[Ria]

I know. I feel it's really gonna have to do with whatever his filming schedule looks like. You know, it's. He does seem like the kind of guy that gets really into a role.

[Fran]

Totally. You know, and it has to be a serious role. Not anything having to do the kissing booth.

[Ria]

Right. Takes his craft really seriously.

[Fran]

And that. I'm sure that's hard to date.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

An actor like that.

[Ria]

Agreed.

[Fran]

It was real serious.

[Ria]

Agreed.

[Fran]

Like he seems. Remember when him and Zendaya randomly dated, they were like kissing in New York City together. Yeah. It was like. What the hell was that about?

[Ria]

Yeah, that was just a little. Little romance.

[Noah]

A fling.

[Fran]

A little fling. They call that a fling.

[Ria]

And I don't really blame anyone for having a fling with him at any point.

[Fran]

Co star.

[Ria]

If you find yourself single at the same time you find Jacob Elordi. Single fling is only appropriate.

[Fran]

And then maybe you end up in years long cuz that toxic on and off relationship.

[Ria]

Her and Tom Holland were like not together.

[Fran]

No. And then it was like shortly right after that.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember this.

[Fran]

Jacob made it.

[Ria]

I actually vividly remember the photos. Like I can picture the exact photo in my head.

[Fran]

Jacob made her realize what she was.

[Ria]

On an awning, like a scaffolding. Yeah.

[Fran]

Jacob made her realize what she really wanted and it wasn't him.

[Ria]

I was gonna make a bad height joke, but I'm gonna refrain. Well, you can probably guess.

[Fran]

I could. No need to do that to Tom.

[Ria]

No, I'm not. I fucking love Tom. That's why I'm not doing it.

[Fran]

Yeah, good. This isn't Sean Penn.

[Ria]

No, it's not.

[Fran]

Talking about.

[Ria]

It's not.

[Fran]

It's not.

[Ria]

Who was looked very short next to his model girlfriend.

[Fran]

I will say.

[Ria]

Yeah, he could be shrinking.

[Fran]

Boom. He could be shrinking those damn cigarettes.

[Fran]

Moving along, Big news for Pete Davidson new podcast. Groundbreaking name.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

The Pete Davidson Show.

[Ria]

Right. We live in a very interesting world right now.

[Fran]

Where. Tell us about it.

[Ria]

Well, it just feels like we're making podcasts and they're being called podcasts, but they're talk shows. Like, they're vid. Like, this headline is, Pete Davidson launches the Pete Davidson Show, a new video podcast filmed in his garage. To me, that just sounds like he's creating a talk show from his garage.

[Fran]

Is in a pot.

[Ria]

No, I know, but I there. I just think like when it's like when it's marketed as a podcast, it's just like that has a different connotation to me in my mind, more audio based. But now everything's so video and this is just vid. Like, this is a video podcast.

[Noah]

Are you sure it's not on audio?

[Ria]

It's gonna be on Netflix. It's just.

[Noah]

I know, but like we have like podcasts at Barstool that are going to be.

[Ria]

No, I know. Well, that's because we started audio and then now they're at Netflix. This is starting on Netflix. Like, it's not like, oh, in partnership with this podcast network.

[Fran]

Okay, I get what you're saying more now. Podcast is more taking up a broader term. Now here's the thing. We come from a world where podcasts were strongly audio for a very, very long time.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And we were doing audio only and moved to YouTube much later on. So majority of our listeners come from audio, which I think would surprise people because a lot of podcasts, majority now their listeners and viewers come from video.

[Ria]

Yes. Because now anything that's launched in the.

[Fran]

Last couple years, video.

[Ria]

So video.

[Fran]

Ours is so opposite.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So I think that we are stuck in podcast mean audio. When now I think podcast has just become such a broad term.

[Ria]

It has, which is why I'm just saying, just don't use the word podcast.

[Fran]

It is a talk show. Pete.

[Ria]

Pete Davis is coming out with a new show. It's called the New Day Show.

[Fran]

Netflix talk show.

[Noah]

Come on. Like, like, let us do the podcasting.

[Fran]

You know what? It's like, I was really every goddamn, like Actor. I was really happy the other night when Amy Poehler won and it was like, you know what? Podcasting, we're making it mainstream. We got actors in. It's got. It's becoming more respected.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But now they're taking over our world. Yeah, let us normies do the podcast. Yeah, you could do the talk show.

[Noah]

It is also funny that, like, the Golden Globes, it's like, those are all great podcasts, but, like, they really pick for the most part, like, let's just pick the actors who have podcasts. Where, like, some of the biggest podcasts in the world are not actors. But it's like, we're not gonna even acknowledge those podcasts.

[Ria]

Yeah. Like this. The Pete Davidson show is going to be a weekly video podcast filmed inside his home and launches on Netflix on January 30th. And like I said, episodes will arrive weekly. And it's where all the best conversations happen. He joked. Netflix was the home of one of my first standup specials, so it felt right to bring the podcast there, too. It's me and my friends talking about anything and everything. It's going to be a great time.

[Fran]

Some might call it a vodcast.

[Ria]

Yeah. The podcast will feature candid, no holds barred conversations with some of Davidson's pals, per the streamer.

[Fran]

And that's him and John.

[Ria]

Kind of the only news we have about it.

[Fran]

I'm into it. I'm actually. I'll be watching. I'll be tuning in. It was so weird being on Netflix last night and seeing a spit and Chiclets promo.

[Ria]

I've said it. I'm like, it. My jaw drops every time. I'm like, wow, I can't believe this is happening. I open Netflix and it's just like, without even pressing anything, I'm like, a biz is talking to me.

[Fran]

That's what happens.

[Ria]

Like, is the main thing.

[Fran]

Biz talking about tennis. Right away I was like, and then, you know what? They use a good hook. Because I said, I want to know the answer to this question. Like, all that you hook there.

[Ria]

But it's just like, I don't know, it's.

[Fran]

I think Marty walks in.

[Noah]

What are you watching? Spin shingles.

[Fran]

Just, you know, one of the guys.

[Ria]

I think there's a lot of discourse right now around new podcasts that are just basically like late night talk shows in different forms. And that's all that's being produced. New stuff. Like, it's what celebrities want to be doing is like, everybody wants to be doing that same kind of show in different Forms like Alex Roll just launched her new YouTube series, Get Real With Me. And now she's calling it a YouTube Internet series. Absolutely named. Because that's exactly what it is. It's a YouTube interview series. Not saying video podcast that's on Netflix. But Alex Earl is inviting guests into her dressing room. She is doing a Get Real With Me, a new monthly YouTube series that elevates her viral get ready with me TikTok videos into full fledged conversation. Show launches Thursday, January 15th. Jake Shane's the first guest and it will stream on YouTube and across video podcast platforms. I actually think it's Spotify video podcast platforms. Meaning, like you can be on Spotify video.

[Fran]

Yeah. So Spotify might have video. I think it's a good idea actually for her. A good twist on the Get Ready With Me. I will say, though. And it's funny coming from an interview podcast where we do interviews. How many more interviews can we do? It's just like the interviews are endless these days. And it's hard to. As people who do it, you want to be different, but it's hard to be different when everyone's doing it now. And different questions. How do you ask? I get in my head before people come into our studio now, because I'm like, I want to ask them different questions that they haven't been asked. But now we are their 10th show of the week and they've been asked these questions.

[Noah]

How do you feel when a guest. It's inevitable, but they'll be like, oh, yeah, I've been asked that a lot of times.

[Fran]

It's like, okay, damn it, why did I do that? I mean, we just had a guest recently come in. We haven't aired it yet. And we were joking with him before. We were like, oh, you've been doing a lot of press. And he was like, yeah, how did I feel when I got the role? And I was like, you know what I mean? But you do want to know. It's interesting. I'm still interested in the answer, but it's hard to be so different. Sometimes it is.

[Ria]

And it's just a space that, like Noah said, a lot of, you know, actors now want to be doing it on the, on the interviewer side. And there's a lot of these shows that are kind of filling up the same formula. I saw a lot of chat, a lot of chatter online, especially after the Golden Globes, about red carpet interviews. Journalists versus content creators. Now there's so many content creators, influencers that get to do the red carpet jobs that were traditionally Done by journalists and what do journalists say about that? And vice versa and is there space for everybody and all these things? And it's just so interesting to me now that it really is like everybody has this. Well let's, you know, we'll sit down and interview people and we'll just put it, we'll put it in. In a unique set. Even in this Variety article it says film in the custom built dressing room style studio in West Hollywood. The series is designed to feel intentionally stripped back. The set features a one way mirror, hidden cameras and vanity embedded microphones. The set up calls to mind other traditional untraditional at home studios as of late like those featured in Hailey Bieber's welcome to My Bathroom and Owen Thiel's in youn Dream series set in a bedroom. Which was like immediately what came to mind when I thought of her doing a get real with me. I was like oh this is like Hailey Bieber in her bathroom. It's a lot of like well we're sitting one on one with. With another celebrity in a different setting than just in a unique set.

[Fran]

Chairs and a couch.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

You guys are so fucking boring and you're normal chairs.

[Ria]

And by the way, I'm not like, I'm not trying to talk down about it at all. It's literally what we do, right? Like.

[Fran]

No, exactly.

[Ria]

I just think it's as somebody that as people that are in this space I think it's very interesting to talk and discuss and see what other people are doing and what other people are saying. You know Alex Earl was doing her Hot Mess podcast and obviously that did not turn out well with just haha. Deny it was unwell, things turned sour. But whatever happened with her and you know, Alex Cooper and leaving now.

[Fran]

Still.

[Ria]

Yeah, so. But it did seem like she did like more of a long form media. She'd always said she enjoyed doing the podcast so I think this is her way of doing something like that too. But so many of these content creators and influencers people fall in love with because they fall in love with them and their personalities and what they're up to and what they're doing. And then now it's like building a show that's well here I am just talking to other celebrities. Well you could still talk about yourself. People want to hear about yourself too. So there's lots of other forms to do it. But right like this just feels it feels it feels like a popular idea.

[Fran]

Yes. And like you said, not knocking it because we are in the field. I will say though I 100 our job. Am I interested in Alex Earl talking to these people? No. Like, no. Like, I'm not like, oh my God, yes. Alex Earl's doing an interview series. I cannot wait for that. You know, I'm, I like to watch.

[Ria]

Alex Earl be interviewed. Yes.

[Fran]

I like watching her get ready. I like getting ready with her, you know, but it's. I see what you're saying. And but for Pete Davidson, I actually think I, I actually am interested in him talking with his friends.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Because I feel like they're funny and there probably has a lot of comedian friends because he's a comedian. So I'm just, just for terms of comedy. Right. I think it might be enjoyable.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Definitely, you know, stories. Definitely behind the scenes about all of them and maybe they have good stories to tell. I think could be very interesting. So I am actually interested in this.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah. It's just I, maybe what I'm trying to say is just that there's a lot of new terminology being used for a very similar product, talk, if that makes sense.

[Fran]

You know. Yeah.

[Ria]

There's a lot of different words being terms being thrown around for just like you're going to watch me talk to my friends on video.

[Fran]

Yeah. And just the way the media landscape changes late night audio to video and.

[Noah]

Those got to be gone in the next five, 10 years.

[Fran]

And it's crazy because video shifts.

[Noah]

It really does.

[Fran]

It does shift. Video was so popular with people on YouTube, then it shifted to audio where people were like, I can't watch. I'm listening in the car, I'm listening on the train. I don't want to watch it as here with my ears. And then it's come back around to video in recent years and you in it's.

[Ria]

But even with the late night talk shows. Yes, I'm sure, yes. The numbers of people watching at 11:30pm are drastically lower. But for a lot of the shows, the social and digital things that they do are extremely popular.

[Fran]

They are doing really well lately.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

It's just like those are interesting, those are different because those aren't long form conversations. It's like promote your thing for 15 minutes. Not even 15 minutes.

[Ria]

No, but it's like, do you, do.

[Noah]

You play a game?

[Ria]

What stays? It's like if they say, oh, Jimmy Fat, like late now, Jimmy Fallon is over. No, but his, but like his, his social and his videos, they could just.

[Noah]

Make that a YouTube show or a Netflix.

[Ria]

Like, oh, then does he just go to just go to video?

[Noah]

Because it's like, yeah, what's what do they gain from online? Like NBC?

[Fran]

Like, really, you need to keep something for older people who are still watching.

[Noah]

But like our older people staying up at 11:30, maybe they're like, they're DVRing it.

[Fran]

Like, my nonno won't go to bed till 12. He's not. He also is not watching talk shows because he can't understand them. Yeah, no, but there are people that do say, I, you can't just take everything off TV and put it online. You have to leave something, right? Yeah, but no, because there, there's these.

[Noah]

Shows that are still on for now.

[Fran]

For now.

[Ria]

I guess it, everything comes around though. Like, I bet you in 10 years people will want like, they'll be like, hey, we're Pete Davidson's Netflix podcast is coming to TV or traditional media. Like, it's just, I don't know Netflix, but it's so and so is going to get a reality show on this network or this everything, you know, it comes back around. I feel like I'd just be shocked if, if everything became completely digital. It could. And I'm sure everything already is.

[Fran]

Relatives and relatives say to me, older relatives, when are you going to be on TV?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I'm like, TV is not, you know, but they still think TV, you know, so it's.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And everyone consumes TV differently. You watch TV on your phone, on your iPad, on your actual TV. There's so many different ways to, to view it, but you're still watching it. I just feel like, yes, the, you know, ratings may be lower, but it's being consumed on other things. If that makes sense.

[Fran]

That's true.

[Ria]

You know, like if you're not doing that interview on, on not doing that interview on Late Night, it's not getting 5 million views on TikTok.

[Noah]

It does just feel like there's too much because like even 10, 15 years ago, if you were like promoting something, you're a celebrity. Like, you just go on the talk show. Like the late night shows. Like, what long form are you doing now? It's like, even if John Mayer did like a podcast, I'm a huge fan. Like, I don't even, like he has a talk show. I don't listen to it. Yeah, like if this was 10 years ago, I'd been like, oh my God.

[Ria]

Well, and everybody wants to, everyone does like want the new thing. And I think every publicist wants their a lot. Not everybody, you know, a lot of publicists wants their, want their clients to be on the next trendy big thing. So like if you have, you know, your new show that's doing really well, you're interviewing, it's like, oh, well, every celebrity wants to do that show now. And it just kind of just jumps around when people start to come up with different things and you never know how long things are gonna last. How long was Hailey Bieber doing that bathroom show for? And so many people were watching it, right? And then. And then where'd it go?

[Fran]

She was like, haley Bieber. I'm Haley Bieber. I don't have to do this anymore.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

What happened to Justin Bieber? Streaming. Did he stop doing that?

[Ria]

I'm not sure. That's a good question.

[Fran]

I don't know.

[Ria]

I don't know. I'm not. I didn't even see anything when he was streaming. Like, I didn't.

[Noah]

I never watched the stream, but I see, like, on Tick Tock and stuff.

[Ria]

Yeah. But, yeah, it's just interesting to see where that space is going and the talk show space is going from being a podcast host. Like, I just find it all to be very fascinating from somebody that does it and loves it and is their job and sees now where other people are taking it or what avenues they're. They want to go down or what people want to be doing this as their job as well now. It's just. It's very interesting to me.

[Fran]

Yeah, that is true. Moving on to some reality TV talk, Real Housewives Ultimate Girls trip cast has been revealed. It's been in the works for a while now. We got the. The full cast.

[Ria]

So the roaring 20th. We've been. This had been teased for a while. Working title. Bravo says roaring 20th working title in parentheses. They've been teasing that they were getting the OGs to do it, that they'd be traveling the country to the locations of these franchises. And this week they announced the cast. We have Vicki Gunvalson, Orange County. Loanne de Lesseps, New York City. Portia Williams, Atlanta. Teresa Giudice, N.J. kyle Richards, Beverly Hills. Gisele Bryant, Potomac. And Lisa Barlow, Salt Lake City. So that is the core cast. They are going to be bringing together these women across all the housewives, different franchises to travel and go to different cities and eras that have been important to the franchise. Stops will be made in Orange County, Beverly Hills, Atlanta, Miami and New York City. Together, they'll, quote, be joining familiar faces in both emotional and unexpected ways as new relationships and dynamics unfold along the journey. So it's really just gonna be a. A literal trip down memory lane. I think it's Gonna be extremely nostalgic. I think people are gonna love it. They're gonna be going through all these memorable locations and having all these moments. I think everybody freaked out because Nene did also say that she will be a part of this when they do stop in Atlanta, which is huge because as we all know, big falling out with Bravo and Nene in. In the past years and she's had nothing to do with Bravo. So this feels like an olive branch.

[Fran]

It does. This is very exciting. I think it's a good cast and I'm excited to see where they end up and what happens. I mean, we don't know much about it right now, but I think it's definitely a good cast.

[Ria]

Exactly. So they're gonna start in Orange county and then ultimately end in somewhere on the east coast. That's not determined yet, but, you know, full cross country road trip. I think that this is a great idea. Tons of people are going to watch. We don't have an official premiere date. It's just that it will debut on Bravo later this year. And that's just a. I'm. I'm thrilled with this cast. I think if any. I think really if you were to go down the list of the franchises and said, who would you pick to represent that franchise over the course of its entirety? I think these are exactly who. Exactly the people I would pick.

[Fran]

Yeah. I think that. Right. Great picks.

[Ria]

New New York City is so iconic. So I feel like, like that OG cast. Luann is great, but I feel like, you know, it could have been Sonya.

[Fran]

Could have been Ramona.

[Ria]

Yeah. But not the way it makes the most sense, I think. And really across the board, everybody else like Kyle, 100% Beverly Hills, Teresa, 100% New Jersey, I think it makes. Totally makes the most sense.

[Fran]

My God, I can't wait to watch this.

[Ria]

Be fun. This will be fun.

[Fran]

Can't wait to watch Teresa in this setting.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

It's gonna be so good.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

All right, last topic. Tell Me Lies is officially back. We got the first three episodes this week, which is so screwed up.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

That we get the first three episodes and then it's just week to week. It's only eight episodes this season. Yeah. So time is gonna fly by fast considering we already have the first three. Right.

[Ria]

It's only five more weeks.

[Fran]

Five more weeks. Little did we know Steven DeMarco could get that much more evil.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

He is a demon.

[Ria]

He really is.

[Fran]

He is so evil in every aspect. And here's the thing. Why do I still feel bad for Lucy? Lucy is one of those characters, in my opinion, that I find myself. Even when she up and does the wrong thing, I find myself feeling bad for her a lot of times because I feel like her abusive relationship with Steven has totally messed with her brain and the chemicals in her brain and has made her act in ways in which she wouldn't act if she never fucking met this guy. And she continues to. I'm sorry, the. The end of episode three, just tell Brie. Brie seems like she could be pretty forgiving.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You know, I feel like she would be very mad at first. Yeah. About what you've done to her. Fucking her boyfriend when she's your best friend. Yeah. I do think Bri would come around to forgive her, even though how mad she would be at first.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So the fact that she gave Steven something else to work with had me wanting to shake and break my television screen.

[Ria]

It really elicits emotions that you don't really know how to process because you don't have an outlet for. It's just like, God, I fucking hate this guy. You know, it's just saying he's fictional. We don't. It's a totally made up guy. But when he was videotaping her and the language he was using and the words he was choosing to say and, oh, don't say this, say this. I just was like, I. I can't believe how sick and twisted this guy is. And you're absolutely right, you do, you do feel bad for Lucy and like the grand picture and the big picture of things, because then if you were to eliminate some things and you just took the fact that this girl slept with her best friend's boyfriend, or, you know, ex boyfriend, whatever you want to call it, and literally refuses to come clean.

[Fran]

No, it's terrible.

[Ria]

Is. Is terrible. She does terrible things where it gets to the point that we know she never told her, we know that she never told her.

[Fran]

We still feel bad for her.

[Ria]

But this is the thing that's just the show, right? It's just. But it's a show of all of them doing shitty things. That's why the show works. It's not just like one of them shitty. And we all hate. Yes, Steven's by far the shittiest, but the rest of them all do shitty stuff. And the way you could tell when it jumped to the wedding and you could see Bri, you know, hear whatever Stephen was telling her and. Or the clip, the audio clip that he had recorded, she doesn't have the reaction you would think she would Have So clearly other things are in play here that we don't fully know about yet. But she has this reaction of like, oh my God, I'm such a terrible person. You're like, wait, what, what am I missing here? So it's like, well, she's so Bree's doing shitty too.

[Fran]

That's why it's hard to not. That's why you find up. You find up. You end up feeling bad for some of them when something wrong happens to, to them, but then it comes back around because they do something wrong. The only person I never feel bad for is Steven. I am never, ever, ever feeling bad for Steven in any capacity. I don't give a. The way that his mother talks to him. I, I, I do not feel bad for him ever. Every single other character I find myself feeling bad for at some points, even though they do shitty things to each other. And Bri having that reaction to, to Lucy being like, I'm the worst person, you know, when they all know Steven DeMarco is what did Brie do? You know what I'm saying? And then so it's just wild. And let me tell you, Lucy just makes the worst decisions you can possibly make. But clearly her brain is all fucked up from, from Steven.

[Ria]

It makes me sad for her.

[Fran]

It's hard to watch your best friend's boyfriend. Absolutely not.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

She's so wrong for that.

[Ria]

And her going to. I forget what his name. Alex.

[Fran]

Alex, yes.

[Ria]

The breeze.

[Fran]

Foster.

[Ria]

Foster brother. When she goes to his room. Like it. Some of these scenes are actually. And I know the show comes with all the disclaimers and whatnot, but some of them are. It is really hard to watch, like, watching that scene happen and kind of getting an inside look of really how she feels about herself and how she thinks about herself and what she thinks she deserves.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

Is dark and sad. And you're like this guy. And it is Steven's fault.

[Fran]

It is. And I saw Megan Oppenheimer, who created the television series for Tell Me Lies, talk about watching one of the sex scenes, you know, with. It sounded like she was talking about Grace Van Patten, but she wasn't naming names. And she was talking about, you know, the dark nature of it and then watching it with her. And she was saying, like the actress said, yeah, like this is a little long. You know, we should, you know, maybe cut this down a little bit. Yeah. But it's definitely dark. And you get a look into the trauma of where she now places herself in her mind and how she wants to be treated and becoming a kink, basically. Yeah. So it has taken quite the turn, this show, and you're just so frustrated with all of them.

[Ria]

I know. I, I. And at the same time, like, I find myself rooting for Pippa and Diana, and we know that they're. They're together at the, at the wedding, but we're seeing the beginnings of that connection. But even when positive stuff, like, even when you're watching the two of them together and you're like, oh, yes, like this. They. They're so cute. They clearly really like each other, you then still have to remind yourself that she is with Wrigley and cheating on him. So it's like, like, well, she obviously feels guilty and isn't going to break up with Wrigley because he's in a terrible place, but clearly she wants to be with Diana, and Diana really likes Pippa and they make a really great couple, but she doesn't do that. So it does feel like it's the right thing, but she's still not telling the truth.

[Fran]

Right. It's the only TV show where you can watch somebody cheat on their significant other and be, like, rooting. Yeah, rooting for it. Yeah. And then also feeling bad at the same time being like, oh, well, no. Yeah, well, no, this is gonna hurt Wrigley because she's cheating on him. But you want Diana and Pippa to be together, so it's, it's all so confusing, and it really ties a tangled web. I will say we see, like, sort of Wrigley and Brie kind of bonding for the first time. I'm like, have we ever seen these.

[Ria]

Characters interact and, and from their interaction? No, it's like, it was so awkward.

[Fran]

It was awkward, but I don't know, maybe something could happen there.

[Ria]

Yeah, it was so awkward. I. Yeah.

[Fran]

Because now at this point, it seems like we're gonna have everybody sleep with everybody on this show.

[Ria]

Yeah, it does. It does feel that way. And it seems to be what everybody wants to keep secret. And the wedding, you know what? You know what makes me upset every time I kind of forget and then I see it and I'm like, stephen with the fucking high school friend Lydia.

[Fran]

Lydia.

[Ria]

And when I, I kind of forgot about that, and when those two came to sit in their pew at the wedding, I was like, oh, my God, I forgot about this again.

[Fran]

Right. Well, now it feels like it's having to do with, with the fact that Chris is Lydia's brother.

[Ria]

Yeah, totally. 100%. That's all connected. Sure. We'll find out how that's all connected.

[Noah]

And.

[Ria]

Evan finds out about Oliver, kind of puts two and two together himself.

[Fran]

Oliver and Marianne, I want nothing to do with. Sorry.

[Ria]

Like shout out Iris Apatow.

[Fran]

Yeah, she's.

[Noah]

She's good.

[Fran]

Yeah. I didn't realize it was Iris Apatow till I was online and I said, oh, my God, that's Iris Apat.

[Ria]

As soon as I saw her, I went, oh, my God, Iris.

[Fran]

And you know Grace Van Patten's sisters in Euphoria. Really? So it's like they.

[Ria]

The sisters.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Their sisters. Sister was doing two different shows together.

[Fran]

Yeah. I'm so frustrated by. By Oliver and Marianne's characters. Yeah. And he just seems to be up.

[Ria]

To his same antics.

[Fran]

They disgust me.

[Ria]

Yeah, he's gross. I did not like the way he was talking to Evan.

[Fran]

Neither did I. And when he said attract it. It's not attractive to her.

[Ria]

Like, yeah, you could tell me you're feeling better. It's like, no, fuck off.

[Fran]

Yeah. And Evan was like, attractive. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

I did not. I did not like that. I did see an interview with. With Grace and Jackson and I think, great. You know, Grace was asked, is it easier or harder to do some of these scenes with. With Jackson when they are a real life couple? And Steven's so fucking awful. And she was like, oh, so much easier. She's like. And thank God. Because she's like, I, you know, I know. I think she's. She basically saying, I think we can really get to that place because we're so good in real life and know each other so well in real life that, like, I know that this is all, you know, we're really acting.

[Fran]

She knows she's safe with him.

[Ria]

Yeah, exactly.

[Fran]

You can end up on set with an actor who gets into this mode and you're like, wait a second, are you Method?

[Ria]

Right? It's like, it's like. It's not like having to act with somebody who's playing this character who you don't really know. And they're so fucking good at playing this character that you're like, actually kind of scared.

[Fran]

Right. And you don't want to end up that. But I think it actually makes a great for them because they're phenomenal.

[Ria]

They're so fucking good. And I really do think they're right that she's right. That, like, they can go as dark and deep as possible with each other because they love each other in real life.

[Fran]

Yeah. And they're comfortable.

[Spencer House]

Yeah.

[Fran]

They do seem really sweet though, in real life. And Jackson does Seem like a really sweet guy. Funny and cool in real life.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I feel bad that people put this label on him because Grace Van Patten was saying that people will yell at them in public. No, but she was like, they know, but they.

[Noah]

I don't think I've ever seen him, like, speak outside of the show.

[Fran]

He's so much.

[Ria]

He's so nice. Yeah. So not at all.

[Noah]

I think he grows his hair out just to, like, try to shake that image.

[Fran]

I would.

[Ria]

I do it for myself.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I'd, like, look at the mirror and be like, I see you, Steven.

[Spencer House]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

She was like, they've had people yell at them on the street, like, why are you with him? But they know. But, like, more in, like, a joking tone.

[Ria]

Definitely.

[Fran]

For sure. For sure. I would also be like, oh, my God.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

Wrigley standing up to him. Or not standing up to him, but him being like, I bet this kills you that you can't, like, be me. Like, that was.

[Fran]

Yeah. I kind of like watching Wrigley and Evan. Kind of just be like Evan, though.

[Noah]

Like, giving him the money, like, come on.

[Fran]

Yeah, he's.

[Noah]

You're giving him $30,000 just to try to, like, get him to not fuck with you anymore.

[Ria]

And also, it's like Evan's. Evan's hooking up with Molly.

[Fran]

Right. Engaged in real life.

[Ria]

What?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

My God. Everyone's falling in love on the show.

[Fran]

Molly and Evan are engaged.

[Ria]

Molly and Evan, the actors are engaged in real life.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

And. And just found out literally four hours ago when I opened up my Instagram.

[Fran]

That apparently Spencer and Sonia are.

[Ria]

Sonia are together. Such as a big old love. No wonder they get through the show. They're all in love with each other.

[Fran]

Megan Oppenheimer's husband is Oliver.

[Ria]

What?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You are breaking my brain right now. The creator of the show's husband is Oliver.

[Fran]

Yes. I feel crazy, but, yes, this is an incestual show. It is. And I guess maybe that's why. Wow.

[Ria]

They've really created such a little. Little network.

[Fran]

Yes. Oliver is her husband.

[Ria]

So Evan and Molly are getting married. Irl.

[Fran]

Yeah. People say they're engaged. They're definitely together.

[Ria]

Oh, oh, oh.

[Fran]

And people say that they are.

[Ria]

They think that they're engaged. I think it's not like, oh, she wears a ring.

[Fran]

Evan and Molly tell me lies.

[Ria]

What's her name? I feel like I've seen her in other stuff. Katherine Hughes.

[Fran]

I think. Yeah. I think people say that they're engaged. They're definitely together.

[Ria]

Katherine Hughes.

[Fran]

Oh, yeah. Because yes.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

They are engaged. They did, like, photo. They did, like, a photo booth thing with her show holding up the ring and everything.

[Ria]

Okay.

[Noah]

It's got to be trippy if you're, like, a fan of the show. And since they're all actually together, these couples, you just, like, say you go out and you just see, like, all these couples, like, having dinner together, but you, like, how could you not see them as their characters?

[Fran]

Right. And you're like, they're with them and this with them, but they're all with their people that they are in the show.

[Noah]

Usually. I feel like it would be like, Jackson. Like, they're intertwined. Like you're dating a different person. But, like, no.

[Fran]

Yeah. When I saw that Megan Oppenheimer's husband was Oliver, I was like, what the hell is going on? Wow.

[Ria]

That is something else.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I did not know all these things.

[Fran]

Must be fun.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Good for her.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Close.

[Ria]

Oliver. As much as I dislike Oliver's character. The man. Handsome.

[Fran]

Handsome man.

[Ria]

Handsome man. And, I mean, they're all. They're all beautiful. I'm a big fan of Wrigley short hair. Big fan of Wrigley short hair. That is That I like a lot. I'm trying to think, is there anything else that. Any big moments that we're missing from those first three? I feel like that's kind of the big stuff.

[Fran]

I feel like the ending of the third episode was really the. Oh, wow. This show's taking the turn.

[Ria]

I think we're pro. If I had to guess, I. I feel like we're gonna get a lot more to come from this faux sexual assault claim or whatever. Lucy saying that it happened to cover for Pippa, but it's gonna just escalate to something bad.

[Fran]

And, I mean, knowing Steven has this.

[Noah]

Like, that was like, you have to feel bad for her, but, like, one of the dumbest things ever. Like, let me give you another thing. And now this isn't even true.

[Fran]

It's genuinely. Which may be the dumbest mistake she's made on this show.

[Ria]

Maybe nervous because clearly what he was trying to accomplish at the wedding didn't happen. You know, Like, I can't imagine you're sending that without hoping that the wedding.

[Fran]

Gets, like, called off. Right. And it does.

[Ria]

And it does it. So it's like, what else does he have in his back pocket?

[Fran]

I want to know why Bri is saying she is the worst person that knows.

[Ria]

Yeah. That's a big question mark. I would like to know as well.

[Fran]

Because what can be. Yeah. So much Worse than what? All these people.

[Ria]

The jump to the wedding stuff. What?

[Noah]

You don't think she'll end up hooking up with Wrigley and then she's gonna feel bad about.

[Ria]

I don't know.

[Fran]

I feel like that could happen. But I don't think that is what makes her the worst person anybody knows. Because then that we've all hooked up.

[Ria]

With each other, right?

[Fran]

And like, Lucy hooking up with Evan, she would then think Lucy's the worst person. So if it's just a hookup thing, I feel like that wouldn't make her the worst person anybody knows. I feel like it has to be worse.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

She's in cahoots with Steven.

[Fran]

And I wonder if, like, Oliver, like, Steve, is he still around when the wedding comes?

[Ria]

Right.

[Noah]

He's walking down with a cane.

[Ria]

Yeah. Like, are we gonna have.

[Noah]

There.

[Ria]

Is there gonna be some big moment now with him and the fact that he's also, like, doing the same with. With Iris's character?

[Fran]

Yeah. Crazy.

[Ria]

But, yeah, it's the jump to the wedding always, like, is exciting, but then pisses me off at the same time because I'm like, just tell me what's going on.

[Fran]

Right? Just stay.

[Ria]

I.

[Fran]

Sometimes I want them to just stay in 2015. I know.

[Ria]

I'm like, just tell me what the Is going on.

[Fran]

They're telling you lies.

[Noah]

It's crazy because it's not that big of a time jump. And when I'm watching, I I. In my head, I'm like, it's a bigger time jump, but it's not. That isn't that much to me.

[Ria]

Like, from college to that, though, is a big jump, I think.

[Fran]

Right. Like, from ending.

[Ria]

From your, like, end of college years. Because they're, what, juniors now?

[Fran]

No, they're still sophomores.

[Ria]

Oh, they're still sophomores. But Steven's a senior.

[Fran]

Yeah, Steven's a senior.

[Ria]

So.

[Fran]

Six years outside of the.

[Noah]

Did any ounce of you feel bad for Stephen when his mom told him he couldn't?

[Fran]

No, no, I. I never feel bad.

[Ria]

I said I wouldn't want him to come home either.

[Fran]

Yeah. He's so evil.

[Ria]

Yeah. And his mom is evil, too. So, like, don't even go back to your mom.

[Fran]

Sometimes I'm concerned about the creators because I'm like, how can they even drum up scenarios in which he's doing all these things?

[Ria]

Yeah, it's as. It's really.

[Fran]

Sadly, people like this do exist in real life, though, and there are some really horrible people out there that do crazy. And people have to experience it and sucks. So. But he is on television, the. The most evil guy I've ever seen.

[Ria]

Terrible.

[Janae]

Absolutely terrible.

[Fran]

He's worse than Dan Scott, in my opinion.

[Ria]

Totally.

[Fran]

Dan Scott. One true hill was like the evil.

[Noah]

Most, but I mean, he literally, like, has no remorse about someone dying.

[Ria]

I just don't even see how Steven could have any red. Like, there's no redemption. Even Dan Scott got some redemption eventually, right?

[Fran]

He made a whole show.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

No, I don't. I don't know how Stephen has any redemption.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I don't know how anybody doesn't do anything to him.

[Noah]

I know.

[Ria]

Well, they're all fucking terrified of him. He's probably got dirt on every single one of them.

[Fran]

He is so.

[Ria]

He probably has that exact tape that he has on Lucy on every single one of them, you know?

[Fran]

Oh, man. Well, I can't wait for the next episode.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

Same can't come soon enough.

[Ria]

Same.

We are joined by Spencer House here to talk about Tell Me Lies. Thank you. Season three. We are so excited to talk to you, Spencer. You were asking us a lot about ourselves right before we started. I know.

[Spencer House]

And it's too bad we weren't rolling because I feel like that was good. I just learned a lot about you guys.

[Ria]

We definitely were rolling, so we have it.

[Fran]

Oh, but people want to know about you and Less about us? No.

[Spencer House]

I don't know.

[Fran]

They hear about us too much.

[Spencer House]

They're tuning into you.

[Ria]

We share plenty.

[Fran]

Yes, we do.

[Spencer House]

Do you talk about that? Have you talked about that?

[Fran]

Oh, yeah, we about talked. Talk about ourselves, you know, at length. So this is about.

[Ria]

This is about Spencer.

[Fran]

Welcome to the show. We're so happy to have you.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, happy to be here.

[Fran]

We are big fans of Tell Me Lies. Oh, good. The first three episodes are out and we're already. We're already deep in it. We want to know how you're feeling now with this. With this new season airing. Fine. You made me nervous there with the silence. I was like, okay, was that a bad question?

[Spencer House]

I feel good. I'm very, like, I'm very, very work based. So I get excited when it's like, you're gonna be doing this scene and I like working on it. But when it comes out, it's like, well, people. Are you excited? Are you excited? And I'm like, it doesn't seem to be any of my business anymore. Do you know what I mean?

[Ria]

Yeah. You're like, I did it. My job is done.

[Spencer House]

Yeah. I'm not a big. Like, I don't. I'm not a big. I don't watch a lot of shows or anything, really. Yeah, I'm not good at sitting down and focusing on that. I like to do the work aspect of it, but we can.

[Fran]

Well, that's good. You know, you're working hard at it.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, that's what I like to do.

[Fran]

You're putting in the work as Wrigley. So tell us about how you got into Tell Me Lies. The audition process, being on the show, it was ridiculous.

[Spencer House]

It was ridiculous. I think I auditioned for the show five years ago and it was eight or nine months of a casting process for, I think me and Jackson. I think everyone else was like a month or two. And it was so. I don't know, it was like. It was a little frustrating.

[Fran]

It's a long time.

[Spencer House]

It was frustrating.

[Fran]

It was a long time.

[Spencer House]

It was a little frustrating. Cause they kept going like, well, I think you're the guy. And I was like, great, tell me where I need to go. Relocate.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

And then they come back a month later and they'd be like, oh, we sent you up to the higher ups and they don't think, like, you're big enough or like you're not on social media, all this shit. That's the stuff that I was hearing. I was like, okay, whatever. And then like a month would go by and they'd be like, we'd like to see you again. And nothing would change. I'd do the same scenes and they were like, we think you're the guy. That's what, like, I would hear. And then they'd send me to the higher ups, and they were like, nope. And it went on for like eight months maybe. And by the end, I think I tested with Sonya and she already had the role. And. And so I. I was just kind of. I was just a little, like.

[Fran]

It was almost like they were.

[Spencer House]

That sounds. That sounds ridiculous. But by. But that. That's. I'm forced of a year. I'm grateful for the opportunity, but I was like, how many more times can you tell me that I'm gonna get it or not gonna get it? I'm like, yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

They were preparing.

[Spencer House]

I don't mean to sound ungrateful. It was exciting until, like. Like month eight.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

The toxicity of the show and the toying and the games. They were, like, preparing you for that. You know, they were like, we're gonna do a little back and forth here, and this is what the show's all about.

[Spencer House]

Yes.

[Ria]

Yes, it is.

[Spencer House]

That's what was going on.

[Ria]

It's interesting, though. Do you think that that is a barrier that you have as an actor that you're not on social media?

[Spencer House]

Yeah, but I don't really care.

[Ria]

Yeah. I mean, you can do whatever you want. But I'm curious if that's something you've heard before.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, I mean, I've heard it before. I don't think it's real, though. Yeah, I think maybe it was real. I don't know when. Maybe 10 years ago or maybe a little less. I think it was real, and I think that had a trial run, and now I think people in this business are smart enough to know that that's not a recipe for success. You taking pictures and having a lot of people like it doesn't actually mean that you can make a scene come to life. I think.

[Fran]

That is true. I mean, followers on social media does not equate talent. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it does. Sometimes they're very much.

[Spencer House]

Sometimes it does.

[Fran]

But it's not everything. Yeah.

[Ria]

They want it for other reasons.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

Yeah. And I. And I think. I think. I don't know if it's a big deal or anymore. I could be very wrong about this. I don't know what's going on. Yeah.

[Ria]

Really, you're not on social media, so.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, there we go.

[Ria]

No, but that. That is. I think that's fair. But I think what's crazy to me about that, and obviously people that are very much on social media is this show is so huge on social media. Everybody loves talking about it, debating it, talking about the characters recapping and all those things. And so you really don't see any of, like, any of the discourse around the episodes?

[Spencer House]

Yeah, so I was. No, I don't see that. I did get curious once. Cause, you know, around. I didn't think. I thought, oh, this is a good show to be on, and I love working on it. But it was around season two when I started hearing and just things changed. Going out into the world and stuff and started hearing that the show was really big. And so I, of course, Googled it, because I was like, is it? Yeah. And I didn't really see anything. And I was like, oh, weird. And then someone told me, no, it's all on TikTok. Like, it blew up on TikTok. And I'm like, well, I'm not gonna. And then I did. I got a TikTok for, like, 30 minutes, and I looked through all of it. And when I was done, I don't know, I felt like. I felt like I was losing my mind.

[Fran]

It could make your head spin.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, it made my head spin. And I immediately deleted it. And I was like, this is fun. I'm so happy that people are enjoying this in their own way and what they can do, but I just. I don't have the brain for it.

[Ria]

That's jumping off the deep end, too. You know, it's like when you're not on it, and then you're like, let me test out TikTok.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, it was like curiosity killed the cat sort of thing. But I was so curious. Cause I was like, oh, I didn't think this show was that big.

[Fran]

Yeah, right. And it is. Well, it really is.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, I guess so. Which is great. Which is great. You want people. You do this so that people have a good time and enjoy it.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You love putting the work in, especially, you know, playing the part as Wrigley. It's a complicated character, and I feel like it's one that we feel for. You're frustrated for him. You feel a lot of emotions towards Wrigley. How do you get into the mindset to play Wrigley?

[Spencer House]

I don't really know. I feel like I see actors get asked this question and they have a system. I just kind of read it over and over again, and I kind of just let it dance around in my head. I kind of just, like, let it sit in that neurodivergency where it doesn't really look like you're working, but I'll walk around, I'll pace and, you know, I had family visiting or I was visiting family, and I was kind of had to work on it, and I was just kind of walking around in circles. My dad was like, you just walk around in circles all day. Do you ever do anything? Do you ever work or something? And I'm like, I kind of am. I guess I am, but I don't have, like. I think people take. Can take, like, pen to paper and stuff. And I've never. That's just never really worked. So I don't know. I just kind of read it and I get them.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Well, I feel like what you're implying is that when somebody is not putting something. Pen to paper, or you're sitting on a computer, it may look like that person's not doing work, but there's a lot of work going on up here.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, I think so.

[Fran]

I'd like to think so. I agree with you.

[Spencer House]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Thinking. A lot of thinking requires work.

[Spencer House]

Yes.

[Fran]

No, I definitely agree with that, though.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

The. The suspense of the show, your people binge it because you just. An episode ends. You want us know immediately what happens in the. In the next one when you're prepping and you guys get. You guys get the scripts all at once. Like, do you know what the whole season looks like before you go into the season? Or is it like, kind of episode by episode?

[Spencer House]

We usually. No, we have our Megan meetings.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

Before the. Before the. Before we get started. And so we know where it's going in the beats and stuff. But we. I don't really know, like, the scenes. Like, I didn't. I didn't. First three episodes.

[Ria]

Yes, I am. Yes, yes, I know.

[Fran]

There's more to come.

[Ria]

We can tease that there's something big.

[Spencer House]

Yeah. So there were scenes in certain episodes that you don't know you're gonna be doing, but you know where the character is going and.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

So you plan that way. But then. And you'll probably get, like, the first. I think it's changed every season, but you might get, like, the first few scripts, know where it's going, and then, you know, someone at work will be like, check your email, and you'll have the next one. And then everyone dives in and braces themselves, I guess. Yeah.

[Noah]

In a way.

[Ria]

What's the.

[Spencer House]

You just hope that. No, go.

[Fran]

Go ahead. You can say it.

[Spencer House]

No, I was just gonna say, you Hope that. I think the main thing, this might be a personal thing, but whenever I get the new script, I scan it really quickly, and I'm like, I just hope I'm not doing anything weird sexually. You know what I mean? I'm like, okay, very fair. And then I'm super fair.

[Ria]

A show like this. Super fair.

[Spencer House]

Yeah. And I think I actually had the most, like, oh, my God, I can't believe I'm doing this, like, in the very beginning of the whole series. So it's been a lot of breaths of fresh air a little bit since I've gotten.

[Fran]

That happens on this show. I mean, we talked, you know, Megan. Shout out to Megan, who created the creator of Tell Me Lies. She has reached out before because we talked about Lucy with the. Wearing the same underwear with two guys, that sort of thing. So when you read that script, you're probably like, oh, I'm gonna do that. And people are gonna watch it, and we're all gonna brace ourselves, right?

[Spencer House]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

Those are the moments.

[Spencer House]

That's true. But at least that's. That's like, she's not really wearing the underwear.

[Fran]

Do you know what I mean?

[Spencer House]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Like, if I. If doing the thing.

[Spencer House]

Yeah. If I have to take my pants off, I'm actually taking my.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

You know, and it's like, ah, yeah. So. So you hope anyway.

[Ria]

Right. You know what's been. What do you think has been the most, like, shocking Wrigley moment in the. In the first couple seasons for you? Like, what took you the most by surprise for him?

[Spencer House]

I mean, I knew it was gonna happen, but I didn't know how it was gonna happen. And I didn't realize that. I think I would say Drew's death, and I didn't realize that I would be the one giving him something that would kill him. I was like, oh, God. Yeah. That was pretty rough, right? Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah. Cause that comes into play with how what we're seeing in these first three episodes, right. Which we've. Which we have seen of him dealing with that and having to go back to school and be with all the same people and all the same friends sometimes I've watched. I'm like, man, one of these. One of these guys should. Should transfer. They should.

[Spencer House]

Like, if you lose.

[Ria]

If you lose one of them, maybe the whole band breaks down.

[Fran]

Right?

[Spencer House]

That's definitely. Yeah. Then you wouldn't have a show, right?

[Ria]

No, you wouldn't.

[Fran]

That is.

[Ria]

That is. That is correct. That is correct. But these first three episodes, he's definitely Wrigley's. Definitely In a. In a pretty sad mindset. What do you like? I don't know. It's hard to even discuss because you, like, you just said Drew, you. They lose Drew for certain reasons. Overdose. And now here's Wrigley kind of supplementing with more drugs. Do you ever kind of like, read your. Like, oh, my. Someone help this kid?

[Noah]

Um.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, just. Just for me, work wise. I'm sometimes like, ah, I would love. Well, yeah, I don't. What the hell happens in episode three?

[Ria]

That's a great question. We just watched it. Steven does films her on the. On the tape of Lucy admitting to the assault that she's claimed never happened or happened. Now she has to claim that it never happened.

[Fran]

And then there's been unto her the moment between Wrigley and Brie.

[Ria]

But that's in the sec. But not even yet.

[Spencer House]

Which moment is that?

[Ria]

No, there's no. Wrigley and Brie do drugs and they fall asleep on the. On the bus bench.

[Spencer House]

Oh, okay. What was your question?

[Ria]

What was the question?

[Fran]

Reading the script. I can't remember. Can we help this?

[Ria]

Oh, yeah, yeah. If you're. If you're like, someone help regularly, please.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, I like, I've loved playing the spiral for the first two seasons, but we kind of. It changes up in three a little bit. It's more of a trajectory of hope. And that's more fun to play.

[Ria]

Yeah, right, right. There's like. Because the show, timeline wise, jumps around, so we have, you know, either college years and goes to 2015, and Evan and Brie are getting married. And like you as viewers, we kind of try and puzzle what happened in between, and we're shocked every time. Cause we never. We never could possibly guess what's happening in between. But is that also something that you guys are aware of? Of, like, what has happened in that in between time, or is that a surprise to you guys too?

[Spencer House]

You mean in between like college and the wedding? Like, what has happened?

[Ria]

Like, what's led from college to these decisions at the wedding?

[Spencer House]

Oh, oh. Like what's to come in the season.

[Ria]

Yeah, like in between time. Like, do you guys know.

[Spencer House]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Those stories.

[Spencer House]

If we know our cause, the story only takes place. Like we. I don't think any of these guys are making big decisions or doing anything big in between college and this wedding because we're not gonna show that. So it's all. It's all like, what happened in college.

[Ria]

To lead to this. Yes, I gotcha.

[Spencer House]

So because we know what we're gonna be doing for the season, we Know why? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

Well, it gets. It's crazy every time we watch it, but I'd love to bring it back a little bit for you and just kind of talk about where the love of acting came from. When did you start acting?

[Spencer House]

Oh, God.

[Ria]

Was it. Was it high school? Was it before that?

[Spencer House]

I like talking about the show better.

[Ria]

No, no, no. Welcome to a podcast.

[Fran]

We would love to talk about the show because we want to know everything that happens, but we can't spoil it for everybody.

[Spencer House]

No, of course. Of course I can talk about me.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, No, I just. I got. I was like kind of a troublemaker kid a little bit, and I didn't really know where to put that energy. I feel like this is such a classic story of anyone who found it when they were in high school, but I just did a high school play and I loved it. And then I went to conservatory for four years and did a bunch of Shakespeare, which I think I'm good with for the rest of my life, and then hit the ground running in New York and, you know, try to pay rent. Yeah, yeah, it's nothing that special.

[Ria]

I feel like I've heard you're selling yourself short.

[Fran]

Everybody has a story, everybody has a star, and everybody is interested in where that all comes from. So don't sell yourself short on the story. Sure, yeah, we're all very interested.

[Spencer House]

No, good. Okay.

[Fran]

All right.

[Ria]

And you came from where to then come to New York. Like, where did you grow up?

[Spencer House]

Oh, Dallas. The Dallas area.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Ria]

So Dallas to New York is a big change.

[Spencer House]

It was. I went to school in Cincinnati, which wasn't that. It was probably more similar to Dallas than New York.

[Fran]

Skyline, Chile.

[Spencer House]

Skyline, Chile.

[Ria]

We just went to Cincinnati for the first time.

[Fran]

Did you have Skyline last year? Our producer did.

[Ria]

He had. Noah ate it. We didn't have the time.

[Noah]

I. I really didn't think it lived up to the hype in my mind.

[Spencer House]

You didn't like it?

[Noah]

I didn't love it.

[Spencer House]

But I also had it's junk food.

[Noah]

Morning at an airport.

[Fran]

It was like 8am I probably ate.

[Ria]

It in the worst possible way, to be honest.

[Fran]

Airport, morning, skyline, chill. It needed to be at like 1am that's what.

[Spencer House]

Like the drunk college kids. We'd all get skylined, like after parties and stuff.

[Noah]

Also, a lot of people said the airport one doesn't really do it justice.

[Spencer House]

I couldn't imagine starting my day chilly.

[Fran]

He's a brave one.

[Noah]

I just wanted to, you know, I felt like I couldn't leave society.

[Spencer House]

It's Okay. I had it again years later, and I was like, oh, yeah.

[Ria]

It's the moment sometimes. And you know what? Everybody has their, like, college drunk food. That in the moment, you're like, this is the greatest thing that's ever been created. And you go, if you ever go back and eat it later, you're like, why did we like this?

[Fran]

It was just a sign of the times, you know, Good times with friends.

[Ria]

Yeah, But Skyline Chile, I mean, it has all the hype. Every. It's like, if any. You tell anybody you're going to Cincinnati, that's where they'll be going.

[Spencer House]

It's funny that everyone does know that about Cincinnati. There's nothing anyone else says except for Skyline Chile.

[Fran]

I'm like, that makes sense. Well, we felt that when we were in Cincinnati and everyone told us the only thing they ever said to us was go to Skyline Chile.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

Or ask us if we went, and we'd have to say no, and then that would kill the conversation.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[Ria]

It's like, I haven't gone yet, but. So then Cincinnati to New York.

[Spencer House]

Yeah. Cincinnati to New York. I just.

[Ria]

And what was. What was those early years in New York like for you?

[Spencer House]

They were fine. You know, I jumped on a China bus. Do you guys ever been on a China bus?

[Ria]

No.

[Spencer House]

Oh, they're crazy. It's like the really cheap version of a Greyhound bus.

[Ria]

Oh, okay.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Spencer House]

And you get on, and I think it's for Chinese tourists, and so you get on that. And I came to New York and I. And I just had. I didn't have a lot. I didn't know anyone, and I just kind of got an agent and started auditioning and, like. Yeah, I wish I could make this.

[Fran]

How did you get the agent?

[Spencer House]

We did, like, a showcase thing. You, like. You like, you perform on stage and then, you know, people call you and stuff?

[Ria]

Yeah, I pick you.

[Fran]

They're like, I'm interested. Hey, thanks. Yeah.

[Ria]

Hey, thanks. Yeah, he's going places.

[Spencer House]

Where are you guys from?

[Fran]

New York.

[Ria]

New York.

[Fran]

I'm from Long island, so outside of the city.

[Ria]

New Jersey.

[Noah]

New Jersey.

[Ria]

So we're. We're nice, fairly local to this area.

[Spencer House]

And you didn't go to college because you interned here?

[Ria]

We both. We did. We dropped out at different times.

[Fran]

She's very short.

[Ria]

Hers was a lot shorter than mine. Mine was longer.

[Spencer House]

Would you make.

[Noah]

What was your name?

[Fran]

Film and marketing.

[Spencer House]

Right?

[Fran]

Yes.

[Spencer House]

Nice.

[Ria]

Broadcast journalism.

[Spencer House]

Okay, well, then, here we are.

[Ria]

Yeah, exactly.

[Fran]

So it worked out, which is why.

[Ria]

You know, we got the job. Is that I got the job. This is the job I'm working for in school.

[Spencer House]

That's perfect.

[Ria]

So that did that, which makes a lot of sense. But we had those. And then I had, like, that early. Cause I was still going to college in New York while I got my internship here. We both were in Manhattan, so we kind of had a little bit of, like, college life and New York City life mixed until we just said, no more school. No more school.

[Spencer House]

That's smart.

[Fran]

That's smart.

[Ria]

And here we are. But did you have, like. What was. What year? Are we talking, like, when was this for you?

[Spencer House]

I probably moved out to New York. 2016, I think.

[Ria]

Okay. Okay.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

Okay. So same time as us.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go.

[Ria]

We were living Paris. Parallels. Yeah, parallels. In New York.

[Spencer House]

What was like, your first apartment in New York?

[Fran]

Mine was in the West Village, but it was extremely tiny. So, like, you know, you think West Village. So fun area. But it was the smallest apartment that you can find. Walk up, obviously.

[Ria]

Bit of a horror story. I did live with a woman I found off of Craigslist. Same for, oh, six months a year somewhere in there. It's kind of, like, blocked in my memory, but it was on the Upper east side. It was close to where I was going to school. But I basically lived in a room that was like a closet. It was totally meant to be a closet and fit like a bed. And that was it. And it was right off the kitchen. And I lived with a woman who was a. Like a psychic tarot card reader.

[Spencer House]

Nice.

[Ria]

And she had two cats that were just the worst.

[Fran]

It's very New York.

[Ria]

It was. Honestly, I tell people this. It sounds like I made it up. It's like, no, I love it.

[Spencer House]

That sounds pretty classic, actually.

[Ria]

So.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And then finally, I was able to find a roommate of somebody that I grew up with, a family friend. And I got to move into her place, which was a lot nicer. A lot nicer. But that time with the. Finding someone on Craigslist was interesting.

[Spencer House]

I did the Craigslist.

[Ria]

You did the Craigslist thing? Yeah.

[Fran]

How did that go?

[Spencer House]

Really bad. I moved into a place in the Bronx.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Spencer House]

And I was in the Bronx for just a year, but it was pre. We had, like, wallpapers. Like wallpaper of cockroaches. It just looked like the.

[Ria]

They're everywhere.

[Spencer House]

The walls were moving. And this poor girl. It was definitely. It was obviously mental illness, but it was. So I felt bad. But I was also like, what is going on? But I'd have to. I'D wake up in the middle of the night and she would just be like, maniacally laughing and it would turn into crying, and then she would, as hard as she could, just kick the oven, like. And I was like, night terrors. Yeah.

[Fran]

Major.

[Spencer House]

Not good. And I remember being like, hey, you all right? Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

She.

[Spencer House]

She went, right. Maybe this is me. Maybe I shouldn't be telling. No, no, no.

[Ria]

You open your door, it's relatable.

[Fran]

It's like you feel bad, obviously.

[Spencer House]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Because you don't want someone to be going through that. But at the same time, you're.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, it's bad because when you're younger.

[Fran]

You kind of don't know to how. How to deal with that. Yeah.

[Ria]

You don't know how to deal with that. At like 22, 23, you're like, what the fuck am I supposed to do with that?

[Fran]

Less empathy or understanding as to somebody going through that. So totally.

[Spencer House]

My doorbell rang in the middle of the night and I was like, what the hell? And it kept ringing. I was like, who the hell is this? And I went home to it, and it was her and she was just ass naked. And she was just like, holding herself and she's like, can I come in? And I was like, oh, my God, are you all right? Like, where have you been?

[Fran]

And you're like, maybe I'm not the roommate for you.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, maybe she was a werewolf.

[Fran]

Yeah. You never know.

[Ria]

But the werewolf, vampire. A lot of the animals.

[Fran]

Rite of passage. I had mice in mind. Noah, our producer, he lived in the same building as me, coincidentally, also, he had mice and his. You know, it's just something.

[Noah]

You sure?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You're like, you live with them, you live amongst them.

[Noah]

For sure.

[Ria]

The first cockroach.

[Spencer House]

Oh, yeah.

[Ria]

They get into my computer.

[Spencer House]

They get in my computer and then I take the computer, fall asleep, and then I'd have them all over me.

[Fran]

Yeah. Awful.

[Ria]

Oh, God, that sounds.

[Fran]

Well, thank God you got on Tell Me Lies.

[Spencer House]

Well, yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Well, what were some of the first. The first gigs you booked while you were living out here?

[Spencer House]

I did a show called the Society on Netflix.

[Ria]

I was hoping you're living.

[Fran]

Thank God.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

Justice for the society.

[Ria]

Sure. We were doing our show at that time as well. And you didn't see it because, you know, no social media. But we were leading the charge on SaveTheSociety.

[Spencer House]

Oh, yeah. It got trashed fast.

[Ria]

Yeah. And it was fantastic.

[Fran]

Do you think so? Yes, yes. And I stand by it. And I still tell people to watch.

[Noah]

Really?

[Fran]

This one Season, because it is that good. And it really. They did that show a disservice by not bringing it back and finishing the story, in my opinion.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, it was just great for me because it was the first time that I didn't have to, like, do another job.

[Ria]

It's like, a sad day.

[Spencer House]

I was like, thank God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We also filmed it in Concord, Massachusetts, from through, like, fall and winter, and it was just. It was beautiful. Yeah, it was perfect. Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

It looks like a painting.

[Ria]

And we could tell in the show. It was just one of those shows where it's like. I think that it's. I think if it wasn't the, like, timing of the pandemic and everything that happened, I think it maybe would have continued, but. And then everyone came out of the Warwicks to try and to save it, really, like, it was a massive thing.

[Spencer House]

I knew about that.

[Noah]

It was a big thing.

[Ria]

It was a massive thing. And then it was like. It seemed like this is just my opinion, because I have no clue. But it seemed like maybe they thought they could try and pull it back together, but at that point, everybody. It's such an ensemble cast.

[Spencer House]

We all kind of moved on pretty fast.

[Ria]

Yeah, exactly. Everybody moved on pretty quickly. And everybody's already got other projects, they got other shows they're doing, and then it was like, we can't get them all back.

[Spencer House]

No, yeah, it was gone pretty fast. It was. And it got canceled in Covid.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

And we were. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But. Yeah, no, but I hear about this. My. I hear from people that people were.

[Ria]

Angry that it was canceled, which is good.

[Noah]

It would be.

[Spencer House]

That's better than, you know, hearing that the show you were on that got canceled, no one knew about, or people.

[Fran]

Were happy or people were happy.

[Spencer House]

I'm sure some people were happy.

[Fran]

Well, not us.

[Ria]

Not us. Because that was such a. Like, we said, a fantastic show. And, you know, it's led you. There's some stuff in between, but obviously, as far as doing, like, a multiple seasons of shows, Tell Me Lies has been pretty steady. Do you like having this steady, steady gig going, or are you kind of on the edge of your seat? Like, do we get another season?

[Spencer House]

Yeah, no, I'm happy with it.

[Ria]

Yeah, I'm working.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, yeah, I'm working. I just kind of. Yeah, yeah, it's cool.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

Did you have any. What was your, like, confidence level after season one of the show continuing?

[Spencer House]

Oh, I thought I was gonna get trashed.

[Ria]

Okay.

[Spencer House]

I did.

[Fran]

You did.

[Spencer House]

To be quite honest.

[Fran]

Really?

[Spencer House]

I don't think this show. I'm not. And I think the people I work for know this. So I don't think this is a weird thing to say. I don't think this show found its footing until season two a little bit.

[Fran]

I.

[Spencer House]

It feels like a different show now, I feel.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can agree with that. I think when we first talked about the show the first season, we were very into it.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But it was one of those shows where we. We were so into it. We loved it. We were frustrated at the same time, and we were like, this is really good, but we're confused about where it's going. And then second season, we were like, oh, my God, this is getting even better.

[Spencer House]

That's what I felt because I was. I was like, yeah, we'll see.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But now it's one of our favorite shows. It's more.

[Spencer House]

It is.

[Ria]

It's more intense. I think, like, I do find this with a lot of shows, especially in this kind of genre, is like, a season one is great, and you don't know if you're gonna be able to get to do more. So you kind of throw a lot into season one. And then when you know you get to grow it more, and it's not just a one and done thing, you're like, oh, well, let's really work these kinks out and dive deeper, Which I think season two did pretty well. Yeah, it's like a lot of deeper storylines, a lot of, like, actually getting to know the characters and their backgrounds a little bit more. And, like, I mean, obviously every relationship's this way and that way at this. At this point. It's like, who are they? Who's not gonna hook up with each other? You know, it's like, really. It's really pretty crazy.

[Spencer House]

The credit's due to Megan on that. I think. I think first season, and this isn't a knock to anything. It's just what it was. I think first season, they were kind of tied into a book.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

And then season two, it was like, where can we go from here?

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

Exactly. And build out from that world.

[Fran]

It's only dying better. We cannot wait to watch the rest of this season. We are so, so excited. Everyone is tuning in every single week to sort of wrap up because we want to know a little bit more about you. Do you have a dream role? Because I know that it's making you very comfortable.

[Ria]

Well, I was going to ask you too. I was like, is there anything you're watching now that you want to be in? But you said you're not even watching my show.

[Spencer House]

No, I watch some things, but do.

[Fran]

You have a dream role or genre to not even put it at a role.

[Spencer House]

I'd want to do comedy. I'm doing a show that's a comedy, and we shot the pilot of that, and it's like a sequel to Young Frankenstein, if you've ever seen that.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

I play Igor the Hunchback, and that was the best time. It was so fun. And I was thinking, man, if this goes and if we did, I want to keep doing this just because you go into work on the day and everyone's just, you know, cracking each other up. I got to work with, like, Zach Galifianakis and stuff, and he's everything he says is funny, and he's a really good dude, so.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

Yeah. But I don't have, like, anything in my mind because that's kind of the funny thing about this job is that you can't really recognize it until it's there. Like, I could only pull from the past and say, like, oh, this would have been cool to play this or that or that, but it's done.

[Fran]

Mm.

[Spencer House]

So moving forward, it's just, like, genre wise or something. I'm up for anything.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

I don't know.

[Fran]

I feel like I'm not giving the world's your oyster.

[Spencer House]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Spencer House]

I feel like I'm giving kind of unoriginal answers, but that's.

[Ria]

Yes. Well, that's it. I think, like, we're gonna see so much from Wrigley this season. I don't want it. No spoilers. We won't give anything away, but we have been told, and we have. There are some. Some twists and turns that we will be getting as the season goes on. So we are very excited to keep. To keep watching. And I know everybody's online will be excited as well.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

And we'll tell you to your face that they're excited because you won't hear from us.

[Fran]

Great. We'll see where Wrigley ends up.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, we'll see.

[Ria]

Yes, exactly.

[Fran]

Thank you.

[Ria]

Thanks so much, Spencer.

[Spencer House]

Yeah, guys, thank you. Talking to you.

[Fran]

All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another game of Beatri and Fran. This is game number 203, and we are joined by Christy and Janae. They were at our Chicago Halloween show. They were dressed up, they're dedicated, and now they are ready to play some trivia. So let's get into it.

[Ria]

Okay, guys, it's 15 questions. If you get the question right, you get the point. If you get it wrong. The other team can steal the point. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. To determine who goes first, Noah's going to give us a movie. We're going to guess the Rotten Tomatoes critic score of that movie. Whoever is closest will go first. We each get our own individual guess, and we will alternate between teams for guesses. So, Noah, what is today's movie?

[Noah]

Today's movie is Eternity.

[Fran]

Oh, no, the.

[Christy]

The new one that came out.

[Fran]

20.

[Noah]

25. Miles Teller.

[Christy]

Okay, Janae, what do you think?

[Janae]

I'm gonna go. Let's go 70. No, let's go 73.

[Fran]

Okay, so that was going to be my guess, and. And I was torn between two numbers, so now I'm gonna go with the other number, 87. Okay.

[Christy]

Okay. I'm gonna go the other way because I was also gonna go with around 73. I'm gonna go 64.

[Ria]

I feel like it's. I mean, strategically, it doesn't make sense to do this, but I just feel like it's somewhere in that. In between. I'm gonna say 77.

[Noah]

77.

[Fran]

Wow, look at that.

[Spencer House]

Boom.

[Fran]

Right on target.

[Noah]

Wow. All right.

[Ria]

I almost said 78.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And I didn't.

[Fran]

Thank God.

[Noah]

Okay, question number one to re and Fran shadow Anna from Chicago, what actress played the character of Samantha Jones in the Sex and the City series?

[Fran]

Her name? Kim.

[Ria]

Is this just. Who plays Samantha Jones? Oh, Kim Cattrall.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Final answer correct.

[Fran]

I thought it was a trick question.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah. I was like, rarely is it, like, who plays this character?

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah. Okay. One, nothing. Ria and Frank, question number two to Christy and Janae. Shout out. Megan from Long island, what city did Taylor Swift perform a one off concert for her Lover album, which was then made into a TV special?

[Christy]

Paris.

[Janae]

I'm gonna trust you on that one. Paris.

[Christy]

Yeah, Paris. It was like a live album. They recorded Paris. Final answer correct.

[Noah]

City of a Lover.

[Christy]

There you go.

[Janae]

That's right.

[Noah]

All right, question number three to Re and Fran, tied at one shout out. Jenna from Grand Rapids, what year did these three moments happen? Beyonce headlines. Coachella. The Star is Born premieres in theaters. Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson get engaged.

[Fran]

This is to us, right? This is 20. Either 2018 or 2019, I believe.

[Ria]

Okay, so she was supposed to headline Coachella in 2016 and didn't.

[Fran]

I think so.

[Ria]

Then was it two years later?

[Fran]

It's 2018, I think 2018 as well. Yeah, because we were on radio when. When Pete and Ariana got engaged. Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah. And a star is born, too, I think. Yeah. Let's go.

[Fran]

2018.

[Ria]

Final answer correct.

[Fran]

Thank God. Thank God. Because I. I was torn between that in 2019.

[Noah]

Oh, all right. Two, one. Re and Fran, question number four. To Christine, Janae, Shadow Abby. What was the fictional sweet treat that Sam Puckett was obsessed with on iCarly?

[Janae]

Oh, my God, man. I'm only thinking of spaghetti tacos right now. And I know that that's not the answer because is that it is real.

[Christy]

Yeah, that's all you, Janae.

[Janae]

I know. Ah, geez. It was a fictional sweet treat, so it had to be something. I don't know if it was like, something taffy related. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go with, like, some taffy. I don't know.

[Noah]

Final answer.

[Janae]

Final answer incorrect. Yeah.

[Ria]

Do you remember this?

[Fran]

I don't at all.

[Ria]

I have zero recollection a fictional sweet treat. So it doesn't exist. Irl.

[Fran]

Right. That's. That's the part I'm having trouble with.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I'm just only thinking of things that exist.

[Spencer House]

That exists.

[Fran]

Yes. I don't know, but I'm curious. Yeah, I'm excited to find out.

[Ria]

We don't know.

[Noah]

Tell us, fat cakes.

[Ria]

Oh, can't say I remember that.

[Janae]

Yes, I do remember that. That's unfortunate.

[Christy]

Sounds good.

[Janae]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah, it was a fictional coconut covered, cream filled chocolate cake.

[Ria]

Okay, it's kind of ringing a bell.

[Christy]

A little bit now.

[Noah]

Yeah. All right, still two. One. Re and Fran, question number five to them.

[Ria]

Sounds delicious.

[Noah]

Graham from Atlanta in Friends. Whose mom does Joey kiss in season two?

[Fran]

I mean, by default, is it Ross and Monica's? Because Phoebe's mom is dead, I believe. Or she. I mean, she's dead, but when does she die? Early on. Does she die? I don't know. And then Rachel. Rachel's mom.

[Noah]

But 10 seconds.

[Fran]

It's always about Rachel's dad. Like, I don't know if Rachel's mom is ever Chandler's.

[Ria]

No.

[Fran]

Oh, Chandler. No.

[Noah]

Well, Chandler's mom time is up.

[Fran]

Okay, I'm gonna go.

[Noah]

Ross and Monica's Incorrect. Christian Cheney.

[Christy]

Okay, I think it's. I think it is Chandler because I have this vague recollection of Morgan Fairchild coming on and, like, talking about one of her novels, like. Cause she wrote, like, I think, like, steamy novels. So that's the only reason why I think it could be Chandler. Janae, if you have any other ideas.

[Janae]

I think it's Chandler, too. I just. There was a lot of, like, Chandler's moms appearing, so. Chandler.

[Christy]

Okay, Chandler, final answer incorrect.

[Noah]

It is Rachel's mom, Sandra Green. Oh, God, I remember that.

[Ria]

I know. You know, my gut was saying Rachel, but I was also like, I have no fucking clue. Like, why would I know that? I didn't.

[Fran]

It's not ringing a bell for me because.

[Noah]

Yeah, he kissed her mom to prevent her from seeing Rachel's dad and causing a scene at Rachel, making it seem like a friendly goodbye.

[Fran]

Yeah, I don't work. I don't remember that.

[Noah]

That was season two.

[Christy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

Okay. Still two. One ran. Fran, question number six to Christine Janay. Shout out. Haley from Birmingham. What is selling sunsets? Chris Shell Staus's ex husband's full name.

[Janae]

Justin Hartley.

[Christy]

Is it Hartley?

[Janae]

Yeah, I think so. It's a tart something. We'll go with Justin Hartley. Final answer.

[Noah]

Correct.

[Janae]

Okay.

[Noah]

All right, tied up at 2. Question number 7. To reenfranch at an ally from North Carolina joining the cast of Real Housewives of New York for its 14th season. Jenna Lyons is best known as the former creative director of what brand?

[Ria]

J.

[Fran]

Crew. Final answer. Yep.

[Noah]

Correct. All right, easy. Three, two. Brian, Fran, question number eight. Christine Janae, shout out Carly and Aaron from Port Townsend. Which actress plays the only female pirate on the ship in the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie?

[Christy]

I haven't seen these, but I think it's Keira Knightley.

[Janae]

I feel like, is she a pirate, though?

[Christy]

I don't know. I know she's in it.

[Janae]

I feel like she's in it too, but I don't know if she's a pirate. Everything's escaping me right now. I'm go with Keira Knightley. Final answer, incorrect.

[Fran]

I don't know, because the only woman I remember in Pirates of the Caribbean is Keira Knightley.

[Spencer House]

I know.

[Ria]

And then I also think of Penelope Cruz, but she wasn't. She's later. It's not the first movie.

[Fran]

I'm unsure. This one's not clicking to me. Is Helena Bonham Carter in these 10 seconds? I don't know. I haven't seen these movies in so three seconds.

[Ria]

I don't know why that name's coming into my head, so I'll just guess it.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Ria]

Helena Bonham Carter.

[Noah]

Incorrect. Zoe Saldana.

[Fran]

It's not ringing a bell.

[Noah]

No.

[Christy]

Never would have gotten that.

[Noah]

I only remember because I just recently.

[Janae]

Watched it, but I have to brush up on my pirates movies.

[Fran]

I gotta do a re. Watch.

[Ria]

We need to, like, watch the same stuff that Noah watch, because then when he gets the question. No, I know, but, like, I think when you get the questions, you're like, oh, yeah, I'll put that one in.

[Fran]

Because you just watched.

[Noah]

Okay. Three, two, Rhian. Fran. This is question number nine. To them, shout out Jordan from Chicago. Who finds Harry after Malfoy uses the full body buying curse on him and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

[Ria]

Snake.

[Fran]

Eight.

[Ria]

Final answer.

[Noah]

Incorrect.

[Fran]

What? Oh.

[Ria]

Oh.

[Fran]

Even I was stunned.

[Ria]

I'm thinking of a different spell. Oh, no, I'm thinking of a different spell.

[Fran]

My dear.

[Christy]

I have no idea. Half Blood Prince is, like, my worst Harry Potter knowledge. I'm just thinking of, like, who could have. Would it be a professor or would it be a student?

[Noah]

Five seconds.

[Janae]

I feel like it's a professor, but I don't know.

[Christy]

Okay, let's go with, like, McGonagall.

[Janae]

Sure.

[Christy]

Final answer. McGonagall.

[Noah]

Correct. Luna Lovegood. It's like on the train.

[Janae]

Oh, yeah.

[Ria]

Oh, I'm thinking of the bathroom. I'm thinking of Sectum.

[Noah]

But Snape Foundation. Malfoy didn't he.

[Ria]

Both of them.

[Noah]

I'm thinking of once. Yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

Like, I'm thinking of the scene where they're fighting in the bat in the bathroom and he starts bleeding everywhere and stay finds them and he runs away.

[Noah]

Yeah, but he. But like. But he kind of.

[Ria]

But that's a different spell.

[Noah]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Fran]

Honestly, I have no idea.

[Noah]

I'm thinking of, like, Snape when, like, wasn't Malfoy, like, hurt in the bathroom and he found Malfoy.

[Ria]

Yeah, but Harry's standing over him.

[Noah]

Yeah, but it was. Who finds Harry after Malfoy uses the full body buying curse on him? It's like when he's, like, invisible after.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Janae]

So when they're on the train, Malfoy.

[Ria]

Malfoy uses. Oh, I'm. I was listening to it wrong. After Malfoy does. It's Malfoy. He's doing the spell, not Harry.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Unknown Announcer]

Out on the course, they're the PGA Tour's best players, but in the arena, they're prime time. In season two of TGO presented, Sofi is back with lights, cameras, action. We're talking big moments, big personalities, big names in the stands, all on the big screen. Big time matchups with shot clocks, Hammer drops, timeouts, overtime and playoffs. It's city versus city, squad versus squad. This sport just hits different under the lights. It's TGL, presented by SoFi. Keep up. It's golf. Tune in to every match only on espn.

[Noah]

All right.

[Fran]

I don't know.

[Noah]

Still. Three, two. Rhiann. Fran, this is question number eight. Ten to Christine Janay. I'm gonna use a movie clip, and you tell me what movie it's from.

[Fran]

If it's any consolation, the cake really wasn't very good.

[Ria]

You had a piece?

[Noah]

Look, look, it splattered into my mouth upon impact, all right? It was unavoidable.

[Fran]

It is the wedding cake, you stupid bitch, not a rehearsal dinner kick. I don't know.

[Noah]

Sandy. Sandy.

[Spencer House]

Release, release, release.

[Christy]

Oh, my God.

[Janae]

That sounds like Matthew McConaughey.

[Christy]

Yeah, I also think it's Matthew McConaughey.

[Janae]

It's just.

[Christy]

What movie is it?

[Janae]

Is he in Dallas Buyers Club?

[Christy]

He is, but I don't. That doesn't sound Dallas. Dallas Buyers Club, because they're talking about a wedding. Okay, so, like, what Matthew McConaughey movie would it be where there is a wedding was he in? Failure to launch.

[Noah]
