So we can't wait to see you guys check out those tickets. And that's that. How are we feeling on this day?

[Fran]

You know, I woke up feeling like I had a sigh coming on.

[Rhea]

Oh, God. What are you going to do about this?

[Fran]

Just the worst feeling. I have a. It's my left eye. I have. It's. It's always my left eye. I think it's just. I don't know, it's just a problem. And I have. Some people just have chronic eye issues.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I feel like that's the case. And it's the worst when you're like, I went, you know, stretch blinked a couple of times, but. Oh, it's like that feeling when you blink, it's not really too visible, which is fine, but it's like it hurts. Which is just the worst feeling. Yeah, the worst feeling. And we have an event we're going to tonight. I'm like, I gotta put makeup on. And then I'm probably just gonna make it worse.

[Rhea]

It's okay. It'll be for a short while, an exciting event.

[Fran]

I know that. I am very excited for my.

[Rhea]

I don't even know what to call him.

[Fran]

Good question.

[Rhea]

Like wannabe grandpa.

[Fran]

Yeah, I was gonna. I was thinking something along grandpa, but.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

Said lover.

[Rhea]

And then I stopped and said, that's not right.

[Fran]

No, no, no.

[Rhea]

I already have them. Already.

[Fran]

Adopted.

[Rhea]

Adopted grandpa that goes by the name Martin Short. Hopefully we'll be at this event. I'm hoping. I'm hoping. It's an only Murders in the building event. So obviously we said, we gotta go.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

Theme is high stakes. High stakes games. High stakes elegance. Little casino action.

[Fran]

There's probably gonna be some games to play.

[Rhea]

Ooh, can't wait. Oh, my God. Don't look at my nails. They're so bad.

[Fran]

Fran, why wasn't he even looking?

[Rhea]

I know. Then I stopped you before you could. They are the worst they've been in years. Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

I haven't even noticed.

[Rhea]

Oh, baby, they're bad. I'll show you right now, they're really bad. Because this has been cracked for like two weeks.

[Fran]

But.

[Rhea]

This is a really. I'm going out of left field here. Cause I'm moving away from the event talk. Even though hopefully we'll see Martin Short. Hopefully we'll see some others. Don't want to get our hopes up. I'm changing my nail shape tomorrow.

[Fran]

Yeah, to what? What? To what? What are you changing it to?

[Rhea]

Oh, you don't like this idea? Because it could stop now. I haven't done it yet.

[Fran]

You're not doing square.

[Rhea]

Not square. Not square. Like ballerina. What's ballerina? Where it goes like thinner and then it's like almost like an Ahmed, but then it's like straight at the top.

[Fran]

Oh, like the skinny.

[Rhea]

Skinny square. Yeah. Shorter.

[Fran]

I don't know how I feel about it.

[Rhea]

I know we could take a risk and we could always go back.

[Fran]

No, you can take a risk. Yeah, but. And I will be with you when you get it done. If I'm like, don't ever do it again, 1,000%.

[Rhea]

I'm looking for honesty.

[Fran]

Yeah. It's just I see people on TikTok changing their nail shape all the time. I'm like, it's just one of those things, right? It looks, it looks good on your nails for a reason. Sometimes people and people have different types of hands and they get these. I'm like, don't do that.

[Rhea]

I know the last time I got square short nails was last year and I said, but it wasn't what I. What I was thinking now. Like the ballerina, it's very specific type.

[Fran]

I got you. You're thinking about something like that.

[Rhea]

Yeah, but a little shorter.

[Fran]

Like that.

[Rhea]

No, I don't necessarily like that either.

[Fran]

That's more square.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Now that we're talking it out, I.

[Fran]

Mean, look, I'm just googling ballerina shaped nails.

[Rhea]

I saw this talk that I liked. I don't know, we'll have to see. It'll be a game time decision. Maybe my nail lady. Yeah, yeah. Maybe my nail lady will go, no, don't do that. Not with your handshake, baby.

[Fran]

I don't. I'm. I'm telling you now.

[Rhea]

You don't think I'm gonna like it?

[Fran]

I don't Think you're gonna like it? I think. I think you want to change it up, but I don't think you're gonna like it.

[Rhea]

I know. Because I almost feel like it can go, like, as soon as I make a small tweak in something, it can go to Long island, to Jersey. Too fast.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

You know what I mean? Like, it's. Any small detailing I do can bring me over the edge. Like, right now, I'm wearing cheetah prince print sneakers. I'm all the way at the edge now.

[Fran]

Like it's.

[Rhea]

Any little movement, subtle movement.

[Fran]

Pair those with some ballerina nails.

[Rhea]

I know.

[Fran]

Could be any. What kind of what. And it also.

[Rhea]

I was going to do French.

[Fran]

I was going to say drastically changes the. The Ben.

[Rhea]

Fr. No, this is why we talk about these things, is why we talk it out. I probably won't do that.

[Fran]

I don't. I really don't.

[Rhea]

I've been watching too much King of Queens. I honestly, I. I know, I know, but I've been seeing some. I've been being fed so many tiktoks of that nail shape that, you know, when you start going, maybe I could do that, and then you do it and you're like, no, I can't.

[Fran]

All right. It's very much.

[Rhea]

Let me know the listeners out there. If you have ballerina nail shape or if you have almond, which I have right now, let me know what you think. DM me. Let me know your thoughts. Have you been swayed one way or the other? Should I do it? Should I not do it? My appointment's at 12pm on Wednesday, so hit me before then.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. I just. I don't see.

[Rhea]

Keep it classic.

[Fran]

I don't see you liking it. I think you're gonna be like.

[Rhea]

Right. I'm gonna be like, oh, I am too. Jersey now. Yeah, I hit it too. Jersey.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I go back and forth between Long island and Jersey because I'm Long island, but I live in Jersey, you know.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. If it's a. If it's a, you know. I don't know.

[Rhea]

All right, okay.

[Fran]

TikTok really does. Although sometimes people have an amazing nail transformation. But I will say most of the time. And maybe this is just my own op, but most of the time, I see someone who's going from like an oval almond shape to something a little more boxy, I'm just like. It's just. It just doesn't look as good.

[Rhea]

You're right. You're right. We'll see. I'm gonna ask my nail Lady. I'm gonna assess with the listeners and I'm gonna poll everybody and then we'll be back. And the final reveal will be on Thursday. Come back.

[Fran]

So what are we gonna.

[Rhea]

What are we gonna do about the sty though?

[Fran]

I don't know. You know, I bought these things on TikTok shop that were actually the great. This is when you know you have like an eye problem, is when you TikTok feeds you like eye remedies.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So I bought these. They're like these self heating. She's snoring.

[Rhea]

I know right now all of us just snoring.

[Fran]

Nor in a way.

[Rhea]

And it's making me so.

[Fran]

I know, right?

[Rhea]

She's got you such a cute gift for your birthday.

[Fran]

Oh, that involves my birthday? Is sneaky coming up? It's coming up sneaky come.

[Rhea]

And it involves olive. And I actually thought about bringing it in today because I couldn't wait.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

And then I thought. And I didn't even need to tell you that part right now.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But then I thought no, because then I'll take away from your birthday week, like next week. You know what I mean? Then you'll be like, well now. Now I don't now. What happened? Right.

[Fran]

Last week. Right.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Oh, well now I'm really cute though.

[Fran]

Oh, okay. Well, now she's snoring away. But I bought these eye self eating eye masks that are really, really nice for anybody else out there that has eye issues. One of my. And this is an eye issue laser girl problem. Very niche category. When you have to do the hot compresses. It's like the most annoying thing ever to clean the fucking thing. And like you have to, you literally have to. Because then you're just putting germs back on your bad eye, which is bad. So you're just constantly cleaning the thing and then you got to reheat it. And then you're cleaning it and reheating it. There's just like a constant cycle and it's so annoying. But these things are just, you know, one use, you pop. They come out of a bag. They have little things. You loop them over, you sit and then they just get like the air, you know, just gets warm. You just sit there for 10 minutes and then, you know, and then it's done.

[Rhea]

Wow, that's lovely.

[Fran]

Which is quite nice. So I did that this morning. It always like instantly helps. And I have all these like eyelid. Do we think it's a product?

[Rhea]

Like a product that maybe tears.

[Fran]

No, because I really haven't changed up anything. And it's not like. It's not like I get a stye and then I stop wearing makeup for a while. And then like when I start putting makeup on again, it's. It comes right back, you know, nor it's months and months in between. Normally I think it's like a stress related thing.

[Rhea]

Could totally.

[Fran]

It's a. Which I have done, you know from my Google searches of what all this can come from and blah blah, blah.

[Rhea]

But usually if weird things are happening with your body, it's like the number one thing is like.

[Fran]

Yeah, are you stressed? Yeah, I think it's like. And I was up late all weekend more than I have been in. In weekends pass. Really in a while.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And you know, sometimes that lack of sleep I felt like my eye twitching and. Yeah. Manifesting in a sty. Well, we're waiting for you to get.

[Rhea]

Some rest and get that sty recovered.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Rhea]

But very excited for the event tonight.

[Fran]

More. This is like a big fall week of like getting refreshed. You know, I feel like people feel that way once September starts set back to school time. It's that like, you know, what can I do to. To get ready for fall? And I feel like it is around the time everyone gets their fall haircut. You went today looks gorgeous.

[Rhea]

Thank you. I did get my fall haircut today because we got the tour coming up next month. We got some travel coming up soon that we'll talk about. So I was like, oh, I need to get this haircut before all the things.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

So I love it. Love the haircut. Got some curtain bangs again. I love curtain bangs because although you have to style them, it's a hack. Now here's the hack with curtain bangs. In my personal opinion, if you don't want to wash the rest of your hair. Right.

[Fran]

Right.

[Rhea]

And you want to like maybe wear your hair up in like a ponytail or a bun or something, you can just wash the front curtain bangs and blow them out and then tie the rest of your hair back and it makes it look like your hair is freshly done. So that's what I love about curtain bangs. I'm really sell. I feel like I'm selling curtains.

[Fran]

You definitely are.

[Rhea]

But. Yeah, but the summer I like to have like pretty much. I have like layers still but like pretty much all one length because it's just like easy in the summer to like let your hair dry natural or throw it up, whatever. But with the fall, you need a little fall refresh. Do them a color next week keeping it pretty much the same. Just freshen it up.

[Fran]

Yep. And yeah, I'm going tomorrow. So really, we just. Oh, my God. I'm saying it's of that time of week.

[Rhea]

Wow.

[Fran]

At that time of year. Time of year.

[Rhea]

There you go.

[Fran]

I need a. I need a. A color refresh as well. It's getting a little. The summer lightens it up.

[Rhea]

So kind of. What kind of color are you going with?

[Fran]

It's the same. I'm gonna. Darker red. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the same. But I just need it like, gets so much lighter as it goes down now.

[Rhea]

Fall refresh.

[Fran]

The summer, get a little haircut. I. Every time around this year, I debate cutting my hair short. And I know every girl goes through this.

[Rhea]

Mm.

[Fran]

And when I had my hair short the last time, I was like, you know what? I'm never growing my hair out again. Because it's just such a pain in the ass and having short hair, so much easier. And then I did grow my hair out again pre wedding, and I liked the look of it, and I made it through summer. That's really the toughest part when it's like so hot and you're like, oh, my God. To have long hair. And now I've made it to the other side. So I think I'm gonna keep the, you know, the long ish length, but it definitely needs a trim.

[Rhea]

I think you could pull off both. Maybe just like an in between.

[Fran]

Yeah, it's doing something to zhuzh it up a little bit. Cause it's pretty long right now.

[Rhea]

It is very long for me.

[Fran]

I don't normally have my hair this long, so it's just that time for a little fresh cut. Everybody's gonna haircut scheduled anytime soon.

[Noah]

Tomorrow. Yeah.

[Fran]

Oh, my God.

[Rhea]

Same day haircut twins. It is.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. Sarah, that's what.

[Rhea]

You know what? It's the.

[Fran]

It really is. It's that time, that week.

[Rhea]

It's that year fashion week in New York. Us, all of us getting our hair done.

[Fran]

It is.

[Noah]

It really is that time before the. The dance. Right before I might wear a hat. I feel like that's like a hip hop dance type thing to do. No.

[Rhea]

Yeah, you could wear a hat. Yeah, wear a hat.

[Noah]

This thing.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Yeah, you could do all that. I'll probably wear my hair down because I feel like that's like a dance thing to do too.

[Fran]

Yeah, it definitely is. Or it could clip it. Choreography.

[Noah]

Yeah. A lot of Dancing with the Stars is on my choreography right now. I don't know if it's cuz, like, we just Had.

[Rhea]

They want you to get in the swing of things.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So you ready to go?

[Noah]

No, I'm not ready to go, but we'll see.

[Fran]

Well, our producer Sarah is getting married next week.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Fran]

Which is crazy. So this is your last appointment. Pre wedding. Ooh, how exciting.

[Rhea]

The wedding hair appointment.

[Fran]

The wedding hair appointment.

[Rhea]

Forget our fall hair appointments. That's most fun.

[Fran]

I know. Seriously. Seriously. That's always and good. I like you said you just get a gloss.

[Rhea]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

That's the right gloss.

[Rhea]

You can't just.

[Fran]

Sometimes people walk. Sometimes they're like, they want to change their whole head of hair before their wedding. Is like, no, no, no, don't do that.

[Rhea]

You can't do that. Gotta keep it classic. Gotta keep it cute and classic.

[Fran]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

[Noah]

I'll be cutting it up on the dance floor at her wedding as well.

[Rhea]

Of course. Because you'll be loose.

[Fran]

I'll be loose, and you'll have all these new moves.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Oh, my.

[Noah]

Should we reenact our dance?

[Rhea]

Oh, my God. We totally can. If the moment.

[Noah]

Don't make a request.

[Fran]

Wow.

[Rhea]

And say, oh, I'll bleep it. I'll bleep it.

[Fran]

I'll bleep it.

[Rhea]

We all of a sudden, we sit Sarah down and say, there's a big surprise and it's just us performing for her. Nightmare. Talk about a nightmare.

[Fran]

Sarah, actually, the cat's out of the bag. They knew you were going to be at the dance class, so. Really? They're preparing a number for your wedding specifically.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Your fiance is coming to the class.

[Fran]

They're going to put you and Tyler in chairs, and then they have a whole routine, kind of like a Chippendale.

[Rhea]

It's all kind of a situation, so everybody better be prepared at the wedding.

[Fran]

Hers. Chippendale's routine.

[Rhea]

It's going to be a whole thing, a whole shebang. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We got to. We got to fix some mistakes. Stakes from Monday's episode. Olivia Jade and Jacob Elordi. They're together these. Or so it seems. I mean, we'll talk about it. Anyways, Gigi Hadid revealed that she auditioned for Tangled.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Clearly didn't get the part. Oh, Hillary Duff is coming out. The new music. A little review of swag, too, because we didn't talk about it. Justin Bieber did a surprise drop of a second part of Swag and we got the popcorner. So let's get into it. Abercrombie is an official fashion partner of the NFL Gear for all teams is now available. You can start with their Sunday crew oversized sweatshirt or venture into some cool jackets. You guys know my new Bills fandom. I got my nice Bills varsity jacket. I gave it away in Buffalo last year. But don't worry, I got myself a new one so that I'm ready to go this season. And talk about an alpha game changer with a jacket, a sweatshirt, a tank, a dress, they have it all. You could add a touch of team spirit to your wardrobe this season with NFL by Abercrombie. But don't forget, Abercrombie is known for their denim from their viral 90s inspired fits to their on trend statement jeans. I love it. In the tour announcement, I am wearing those cow print denim Abrombe jeans and you guys have been asking me where I got those jeans from. They're from Abrombie because they have the best denim. And we, when we say denim should feel like this, we're talking about Abercrombie denim. Abercrombie drops new arrivals every single week. So shop in the app, online or in store. All right, let's start off with Olivia Jade and Jacob. Lordy here. I feel like he saw Olivia Jade out with one dinner with Glen Powell and said, call her up.

[Fran]

Do you think these two, like have a really toxic relationship? Yeah, because I saw people being like. I saw people being like, wow. One weekend of Olivia out, Olivia called her pal Glenn Powell and Jacob's out here making tiktoks to be like, ooh, look what I'm doing out in the public. And then bam. They're. They're together at his premiere at Tiff. Either that or they just are really fucking cool and don't give a shit. And they've been together this whole time and they just laugh in all of our faces that we worry about these things. Perhaps Glenn has a project he's pitching Olivia Jade at the club at 2 in the morning.

[Rhea]

I saw some, some rumors that like Glen Powell just knows Lori Loughlin.

[Fran]

That's possible.

[Rhea]

They were just getting dinner.

[Fran]

That's possible. I don't know.

[Rhea]

But I think that it's the fact that they're toxic because Olivia Jade friends.

[Fran]

Two people are like, they're friends with Jake. They're both friends with Jake Shay. And yes. So that means they would go out to dinner together.

[Rhea]

Right. Olivia Jade moved to Paris and then moved to New York City. Like she bounced around all over the map. Like clearly it felt like she was going through a breakup. And then she shows up dressed as the bride of Frankenstein. At the Tiff premiere.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

She dressed as the bride of Frankenstein. And Jacob Elordi is Frankenstein.

[Fran]

Right.

[Rhea]

You tell me it's two people not together. And then he's holding her back, holding her dress.

[Fran]

Like they're holding her train in the theater.

[Rhea]

They're together. Like, what, are we fools or are they fools? You know, it's one of those.

[Fran]

Yeah, most likely it's us.

[Rhea]

It seemed like they were broken up.

[Fran]

Like.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I'm not gonna call us idiots. Like, it seemed like they were not together anymore.

[Fran]

Right, right.

[Rhea]

How you gonna go this long with all the rumors swirling that you broke up? You know, it was. It was like, for two months now.

[Fran]

No, you're. You're very true.

[Rhea]

She moved.

[Fran]

You're very right.

[Rhea]

I don't think he was moved. I mean, belly pulled a belly the summer. Like, I don't think you should move to Paris when you're in a happy, stable relationship.

[Fran]

Right, right, right. That's like, I need to change things up.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Like, I'm gonna move to Paris and then I'll move to New York City myself.

[Fran]

I need to move to Paris.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So how long was she living in Paris? It was short lived.

[Rhea]

Short stint.

[Fran]

So must not have.

[Rhea]

And then Jacob came calling. She moved to New York City.

[Fran]

Must not have what she wanted.

[Rhea]

Change the city. You know what I mean?

[Fran]

Like, that's so interesting though. But I really. Yeah, I do lean towards them being so hot and cold that it's like they had a little bit of a tumultuous weekend and it brought them back together. A classic. Like, you're showing off, I'm showing off. Who are we showing off for? Each other.

[Rhea]

I know we talked about this on Monday, but the person Jacob Elordi was making tiktoks with, Sofia Coppola's daughter. Yes.

[Fran]

Romy Mars. Gotcha is what she goes by. People were like, so upset with her with Romy.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah, I saw that too. Yeah. I don't really.

[Rhea]

Am I missing something?

[Fran]

No, there's really nothing else.

[Rhea]

They were just mad that she was with Jacob.

[Fran]

Yeah. I think they were just like, of course this Nepo baby gets to hang out with. With Jacob Elordi. I think that's kind of it. Like, I don't really think there's anything else to it because I think especially with Jacob Elordi, there's a lot of his on Tick Tock. They're like, why not me?

[Rhea]

That's. That's true. They're like, you know, wait, how did that happen?

[Fran]

Yeah, they're like, how. How come you get to do this? And then when people find out it's because of their parents, that's when people really go off because it's the Nepo thing. So then they're like. And then they cry about it, which is silly because can't help who your parents are. So she just happens to have famous parents.

[Rhea]

She was born into it. She just happened. She did not ask for that.

[Fran]

She just happened to be born into the Coppola family. Yeah.

[Rhea]

And, you know, that's. You just get lucky. Like, I know sometimes.

[Fran]

And her husband. Her husband. Her father, who is married to Sofia Coppola, is Thomas Mars. Wow. So that's really his name. Oh, no, it's not. I was like. I was like, this guy's real last name is Mars. It's not. It's croquet. Croquette.

[Rhea]

Croquette.

[Fran]

Croquette. C R O U E D. I.

[Rhea]

Would kind of love if my lot. Because I love croquettes.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. But this is croquet. Croquet.

[Rhea]

Croquet.

[Fran]

How do you spell croquet? The sport. The.

[Rhea]

Oh, you're asking a question that. Oh, let me take a crack at that.

[Fran]

That's what I'm.

[Rhea]

Croquet, the sport.

[Fran]

Yeah. Like, we're going out to play croquet.

[Noah]

C R O Q U E T. No is correct.

[Rhea]

Wow. Yeah.

[Fran]

Really? Really just jumped in there to. I mean, your thunder, like. Sorry, I said, like, Ria was like, let me take.

[Noah]

Be honest. Was that going to be like.

[Fran]

Let me. Ria was like, let me take a crack at that.

[Rhea]

I'm going to. You lost a spelling bee in eighth grade.

[Noah]

Now we know why.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Or seventh or eighth.

[Fran]

So it's actually spelled the same way as this guy's last name. So that's got to be it. Thomas Pablo Croquet, known professionally as Thomas Mars, is a French musician and the lead singer of the French indie pop band Phoenix. And he's been married to Sofia Coppola since 2011, and they have two children, one being Romy Madison Croquet, also known as Romy Mars.

[Rhea]

Some people just. They got cool parents.

[Fran]

Yeah. Just happens she was born in 2006.

[Rhea]

That's crazy.

[Fran]

That just makes me want to die.

[Rhea]

That really will throw you off.

[Fran]

That'll really throw you off. She's 18, so.

[Rhea]

So that's wild.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

Well, anyways, these two seem to be together, and I'm on for the journey.

[Fran]

She's the one that remembers. He went viral on TikTok for saying that, like, her Parents wouldn't let her take the helicopter to see her friends.

[Rhea]

No.

[Fran]

Do you remember this?

[Rhea]

I don't.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. This was two years ago. She was 16. She went viral for a soon deleted TikTok video in which she tries to make pasta and says she was grounded for trying to use her father, this credit card to take a helicopter to dinner with an out of state friend. I forgot about that. I do remember that. I do remember that. And she's. And she also has been releasing music for herself and she goes to Lehigh. It wouldn't have pegged her as someone that would go to Lehigh. She currently attends Lehigh University. Interesting. You think she still goes to Lehigh? I feel like that's like a rich kid who's like, ah, let me try and like go to college for a college experience. Like, I'm gonna go to Lehigh.

[Rhea]

And then they go, yeah, like, why? Why even try to have the college experience?

[Noah]

Probably Olivia jaded her way in.

[Fran]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But she's posting videos of New York and she's got 233,000 followers. But her last picture is a picture of her and Jacob Elordi.

[Rhea]

Yeah, that was a cool picture. That was a cool picture. And I thought, okay, so Olivia and Jacob called each other immediately after this weekend and said, yeah, but. But then you think, well, then how did Olivia have that dress ready for the Tiff Beer? That was so perfect. Bride of Frankenstein, totally.

[Fran]

It's been planned.

[Rhea]

She had to have been planned to go.

[Fran]

Right.

[Rhea]

He's so Frankenstein though, that, like, when you see Jacob Elordi walking around, you're like, oh, that's a perfect Frankenstein casting.

[Fran]

I agree.

[Rhea]

Like, tall freak show.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Yeah, obviously Jacob, Lordy, very handsome. But just like when you're that tall.

[Fran]

When you're that tall, it really helps for sure with that idea that you're a freak monster. But yeah, I don't know these two. I don't know how Glenn Powell found himself in the middle of this.

[Rhea]

You know, Glenn Powell's probably seen the reports. Like, I can't catch a break. I was going to dinner with my good friend and her mom.

[Fran]

GQ is really doing these funky shoots now, huh? Oh, my God.

[Rhea]

I gasped. And not in a good way. I saw. I saw Glenn Powell's GQ cover and I thought, what? What happened? What did they do to you, Glenn? Then I put you two together. I zoomed in. Yeah, of course. As you would when you see a photo like that of someone's legs.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And I Said, whoa, that's a choice. But I like it. I like the funky, you know, covers and pictures and a little bit of fun. It's very fun.

[Fran]

I know. I think it's a good way for GQ to, you know, do some different things. And of course, we were all talking about when Travis did it, and his shoot was also wild. And now, you know, he's doing shit like this for gq.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Buffed up, and I love it. Buffed up.

[Rhea]

Is it faux buffed up for his new show that's coming out. Chad Powers, right? Is that the name?

[Fran]

Yeah, it is. Yeah.

[Rhea]

Did I mess up that name?

[Fran]

No, I think you're right.

[Rhea]

Double check that. Producer, Noah Bossman.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Chad Powers.

[Rhea]

Nice. Not too shabby, Maria.

[Noah]

I was really thrown off when I saw the first picture just, like, out of context, because I thought those were his real legs. I was like, how have we not noticed this yet?

[Fran]

You're so right, because Rhea did just say the same thing.

[Rhea]

Did you, dude, shyness quit and let Noah have the mic? Because the amount of times I say.

[Noah]

It happens, like, twice a year, it's.

[Fran]

Ha.

[Rhea]

I was in the past.

[Fran]

She was like. When I saw that first picture, I zoomed in and was like, whoa, what's up? Going on?

[Rhea]

Clearly, I'm not captivating enough for Noah to pay attention to me when I speak.

[Fran]

You're talking about the same picture, so.

[Noah]

I know we are now.

[Rhea]

I was borderline rude, borderline hurting my feelings. We're gonna move past it.

[Noah]

I was doing something for work.

[Rhea]

I. I promise, every time I'm speaking. Whatever.

[Fran]

Whatever.

[Rhea]

Anyways, you guys even want me on this show anymore?

[Fran]

It just cracks me up every time. Because he really does it. Not on purpose.

[Noah]

I just zone into whatever. I'm. You know, your world. I was writing an email and I just don't hear what else is happening. Nothing to do with you. It would have been the same way Fran was talking at that moment.

[Rhea]

You just don't do it to her. You just really rarely often do it to me.

[Noah]

I don't know why.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I don't know. Anyways, your segment. Go. Go on. What else do you want to say?

[Fran]

Anything else?

[Rhea]

You. Any other thoughts you have about Go pals.

[Noah]

Ask me more spelling questions.

[Fran]

GQ cover.

[Noah]

No, I don't. I don't.

[Fran]

No.

[Rhea]

Well, okay, I'll take a crack at it. C, R, O, Q, U, E, T. Done. Oh, no. Rhea wasn't trying to do that.

[Fran]

No.

[Noah]

Were you gonna get that?

[Rhea]

Doesn't matter.

[Fran]

But that wasn't.

[Rhea]

That's not the point.

[Fran]

The point was she wanted to try.

[Rhea]

Thank you, Fran. Meanwhile, I'm literally throwing my back and everything into his 30 before 30 list. I'm going dancing with him. I'm doing the San Gennaro sandwich. I'm walking across Manhattan. I'm freaking going to a far country.

[Fran]

Like I.

[Rhea]

You know what I mean? Like th. This guy. This guy.

[Noah]

I mean, some of those sound kind of fun.

[Rhea]

It is fun. That's why I have to do.

[Fran]

Is fun or else.

[Rhea]

It is fun or else I wouldn't join. But just saying like he asked. Oh, does anyone want to do this with me? Who offers? Maria. I know, I know, I know. So ones that you help the most. It is. It's usually how it goes.

[Noah]

But you could also like take it as you and I. Whenever I do that, it's like we have the same thought. Like so we're on the same page, you know, like.

[Fran]

Yeah, I guess.

[Rhea]

It's good spin. It's good spin. Whatever. Anyways, that's it for that.

[Fran]

Jacob and Olivia potentially sealed together.

[Rhea]

Potentially. Any more thoughts about Glenn Powell, Noah?

[Noah]

Not really. I was asking Maddie and Sarah earlier, who would they'd rather date, Jacob Elordi or Glen Powell? And they both said Jacob Elordi.

[Fran]

Wow.

[Rhea]

Oh, I was gonna say that was like an easy answer.

[Fran]

Said for looks.

[Rhea]

Oh yeah.

[Noah]

I think it was mainly on looks.

[Rhea]

Oh. I. Oh. But I mean, I'm shocked by that.

[Fran]

I. I mean, I get it. But just for like personality and fun in life, I'm going Glenn. Yeah, 100%.

[Rhea]

Glenn seems like a way more normal.

[Noah]

Guy than Jacob already seems very.

[Fran]

Like, I think Jacob makes himself a little too serious.

[Rhea]

Jacob already walk the restaurant we were at wearing headphones and like, like I don't vibe with that.

[Fran]

All I know is I wouldn't be able to talk about.

[Rhea]

Take your headphones off, you clown.

[Fran]

I wouldn't be able to talk about.

[Noah]

Didn't say that.

[Fran]

Talk about the kissing. No.

[Rhea]

If I was with him. Yeah. Not. Not a random guy walking to the restaurant.

[Fran]

I wouldn't be able to talk to Jake about. About the kissing booth. So. Really? That's right. Immediate.

[Rhea]

Cuz he would be offended and he'd.

[Fran]

Say, babe, we don't talk about. We only work. We only talk about my work with a cop.

[Rhea]

Glenn is like funny and fun and he likes college football and has so many different interests.

[Fran]

The arts.

[Rhea]

But sports, like it's all over the map.

[Fran]

Good old American guy, you know, not one of these. Where's Jacob from? New Zealand.

[Rhea]

Oh yeah.

[Fran]

Australia.

[Noah]

I thought it was Australia.

[Rhea]

Australia and New Zealand are very close.

[Fran]

Yeah, but. But they're different kinds.

[Rhea]

Different.

[Noah]

Brisbane.

[Fran]

He's Australian.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Why did I think he was. No, I'm making that up. Oh, KJ Apa.

[Noah]

He's from New Zealand.

[Fran]

He's from New Zealand.

[Noah]

I thought he was American.

[Fran]

No.

[Rhea]

Really?

[Noah]

I've just never like.

[Rhea]

You never heard his accent?

[Fran]

Nope. Kiwi.

[Noah]

I don't think I feel like it really.

[Rhea]

Ever from Kiwi, New Zealand?

[Noah]

Been exposed to him and.

[Fran]

No. That's what you call people. Oh, that's what you call people from New Zealand. He's a kiwi.

[Rhea]

Because they love kiwis there. Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

That's the reason.

[Rhea]

Because. Sorry.

[Fran]

Because all I know is that that's what they're called, but I don't know what the. That. I believe you. That's the reason. Go ahead.

[Rhea]

I was research kiwis this morning because I've been eating a lot of kiwis and I thought, am I eating too many kiwis? And an answer popped up from somebody from New Zealand and said, in New Zealand there is never enough kiwis being eaten.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

So kiwis are probably a big thing in New Zealand is what I gathered from that answer.

[Noah]

I love kiwi, but I never eat.

[Rhea]

One guy ate six kiwis in a day.

[Fran]

Right.

[Rhea]

Zealand.

[Fran]

So they actually like kiwis, but that's not the reason for why they.

[Rhea]

Crazy. Six kiwis in a day, a lot of kiwis.

[Fran]

The kiwi actually comes from the name of a bird.

[Noah]

You say that like it was like a world record.

[Fran]

New Zealanders are called kiwis because the kiwi is a unique native flightless bird to New Zealand and a powerful national.

[Rhea]

So it has nothing to do with the fruit there. Research.

[Fran]

It has nothing to do with the Google this.

[Noah]

Most kiwis.

[Fran]

No.

[Rhea]

But an average person eating six kiwis.

[Fran]

A day, that's why. That's why people from New Zealand are called kiwis. But perhaps they also like Google.

[Rhea]

Do people in New Zealand eat a lot of kiwis? Is kiwi prominent in New Zealand? The fruit? Pause, silence.

[Fran]

What am I googling?

[Rhea]

Is kiwi a popular fruit in New Zealand? Because that's what I saw this morning when I was doing my kiwi research.

[Fran]

Yes. Kiwi fruit is extremely popular and iconic in New Zealand, though its origins are in China.

[Rhea]

Extremely popular.

[Fran]

It is the country's top horticultural export as a result of New Zealanders developing the fruit commercially and creating strong international markets for it. The fruit was Even renamed kiwi fruit by New Zealand growers as a clever marketing strategy to associate the fruit with the national bird of New Zealand, the kiwi. So it's all tied together.

[Rhea]

The fruit, the bird, everything comes to the people.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Okay. All right.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Rhea]

Well, we got our answer there.

[Fran]

Yes, we did. Jacob Elordi, Australian. Remember when we all thought his name was Ellerty?

[Rhea]

Weird. Yeah, I do. Jacob Ellerty.

[Fran]

We. Yeah, we called him Jacob Ellerty a lot.

[Rhea]

Often.

[Fran]

Often.

[Rhea]

And we were talking about him often.

[Fran]

Often. Kissing. Booth time. We were like, jacob Elardy. Freaking love Jacob Elardie.

[Rhea]

We sounded like idiots.

[Fran]

Yeah. And it's been a lardie this whole time.

[Rhea]

Damn it. The only thing we love as much as you guys, our listeners, are delicious cocktails. And no one serves up real delicious cocktails like Rumhaven. Last week in Savannah, delicious rum haven cocktails with all of you. And before that in Charleston and on tour coming up, we're going to be having delicious rum haven drinks all fall long. So you don't want to miss out. It's made with real coconut water, no artificial flavors. And it gives you that real coconut water and that good refreshing taste that you just can't beat. You can't beat the taste of real coconut water. So you could drink Rumhaven just straight over ice. You can mix it with a little juice. You can make our Friday energy cocktails. Whatever you wish. So head to Rumhaven to learn more. Well, moving along, Gigi Hadid revealed that she auditioned for Tangled. Now, I didn't know Gigi Hadid auditioned for big movies.

[Fran]

I didn't know either, but, like, snaps for her. I feel, like, exciting that maybe she wants to venture into acting.

[Rhea]

Q&5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Noah saying he didn't know Gigi Hadid auditioned for big movies.

[Fran]

Gigi Hadid's auditioning Gigi Hadid auditions for big time films. Crazy.

[Rhea]

I didn't. No. Out of nowhere, he's email. I didn't know Gigi Hadid auditioned for big movies.

[Fran]

Wait, you guys are talking about the model Gigi Hadid? She did. She reportedly told Vogue that she auditioned for live action Tangled, which totally understand I would want to audition for that role too, but I think she said she. She said she had a strong audition. But the singing is always, of course, gonna be like the toughest aspect of that, which then led me immediately to think of who I would want cast as live action Tangled for Rapunzel. And I mean, Sabrina Carpenter has got to be my, like, my brain immediately went to Sabrina Carpenter.

[Rhea]

That is true. Does Rapunzel get red hair, blonde singing?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And has the blonde hair. Yeah, but then would we only see her as Sabrina? You know what I mean? Because she's so Sabrina Carpenter.

[Fran]

Yeah, but she's got some of that acting juice too.

[Rhea]

I was gonna say there's gotta be another blonde actress out there that could sing.

[Fran]

Let me tell you, there's plenty work.

[Noah]

For Ariana Grande and Wicked.

[Rhea]

Yeah, but maybe there's somebody unknown out there. Maybe there's somebody that's out there with.

[Fran]

She did say that. Bradley Cooper and Kurt Brady Cameron. Yeah.

[Noah]

I don't know why that came to my mind.

[Rhea]

True.

[Fran]

Yeah. She. Bradley Cooper did help encourage her to maybe take a chance on. On acting.

[Rhea]

So Bradley supporting each other like that.

[Fran]

Well, I know the voice. She ultimately did get the part. She took singing lessons during fashion month to prep and was proud of her work.

[Rhea]

Do you think that's why she chopped her hair off? And she was like, you know what? I didn't get the part.

[Fran]

She said the singing. I knew they were going to go with the real singer. But I'll show you my edition scene later. She was talking with her and Kendall because they were on the COVID Obviously.

[Rhea]

That was cute to see them on the COVID together.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I feel like we haven't seen them together in a while and it's a big throwback.

[Fran]

You know what I saw though, that they were like. People call them Kenji is like. Who calls them that?

[Rhea]

They did. No, no, they called themselves Kenji for a long time. Like when they were seen together a lot, they called themselves Kenji. I don't know anybody who called them Kenji, but I know for a fact that those two were always posting pictures together, being like Kenji, like especially on their birthdays, like Happy Birthday, hashtag Kenji.

[Fran]

Sorry, I got distracted because now they're saying that that Disney's live action version of Tangled is actually has been halted. Pre production has been halted indefinitely as of April 2025 following the underwhelming performance of the live action Snow White film.

[Rhea]

Maybe they're giving Gigi just a little bit more time to practice.

[Fran]

No, I mean, honestly, that I. That's sad because I feel like I don't know Snow White. There was a lot of other things going around with the discussion of Snow White, you know, but I was actually really excited for a live action version of Tangled because let me tell you, I fucking love Tangled.

[Rhea]

I've never seen Tangled. Oh my God. Big drop.

[Fran]

I would love Tangled.

[Rhea]

I feel like I would.

[Fran]

Tangled is fantastic.

[Rhea]

Tangled 1 is one I missed. The boat on.

[Fran]

Tangled is so good. Flynn Rider. They played so much Tangled music when we were at Disney. I know.

[Rhea]

I kind of like, missed out. Yeah, I know you did. You did big time.

[Fran]

But it's really good. But yeah, production, I guess, is they're reevaluating their strategies.

[Rhea]

Okay. Interesting.

[Fran]

I don't think they've. I don't think they've actually cast anybody in the role yet.

[Rhea]

GGS time. La la la la la la.

[Fran]

I mean, really? There's been rumor. Oh, rumors of Florence Pugh. That's an interesting one.

[Rhea]

That I feel like I could see her as a Disney Han.

[Fran]

As Mother Gothel would be, so.

[Rhea]

Yeah, well, I don't know that part, but Catherine Hahn and anything.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Be good.

[Fran]

Because people have been trying to. People are trying to cast the live action Flynn Rider for a while. Like on TikTok. Everybody loves being like, oh, this guy would be such a good Flynn Rider. Mandy Moore voices the animated Rapunzel. And obviously she is an amazing voice and sounds great. So, like, the music from Tangled is so good that they have. It's big shoes to fill. Big shoes to fill. But I don't like that it's been put on pause. I hope that it's unpaused because I would really like to see that movie be made.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Maybe they have other things in the work right now that they're focusing on.

[Fran]

They love doing live action things, but I think Snow White really did screech. We gotta take a pause because that, like, movie just did not do well at all. So.

[Rhea]

All right, moving along. Hilary Duff is apparently putting out new music and a documentary to go along with it to, you know, document her journey of putting out new music. Hillary Duff could maybe do Tangled. So true music, beautiful blonde hair. Disney prescribe with the voice.

[Fran]

I do think they need just like a little bit younger. Yeah, that's fair, you know.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Not in a. Not in a.

[Rhea]

You're right.

[Fran]

Mean way.

[Rhea]

No, you're right.

[Fran]

Just Rapunzel is. She's supposed to be like a teenager.

[Rhea]

Right, right.

[Fran]

Escaping from her scary tower.

[Rhea]

Absolutely.

[Fran]

Hillary doing music again is absolutely amazing. Like, I feel as if the music we got from Hillary back in the day was so amazing, so era defining for that time. Like, you hear that song.

[Rhea]

Good description.

[Fran]

Right. Like you. It transports you back.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Fran]

To that time when you hear Metamorphosis. That album, you just like, are like, ugh. It's amazing.

[Rhea]

And a great name for an album. Really shows you growing up sort of.

[Fran]

Thing, you know, I don't really remember a lot of names of albums, but that one, I will never. That one's out when I will never forget. And you know, her husband, music guy, singer, also producer. I feel like they've been working on stuff together, which is really cool. Makes it probably fun for the both of them. He's done some great stuff, so I feel like it'll be really cool to see what they do together. But she signed with Atlantic Records and she's putting out new music, and I'm excited for it. If we're not gonna get Lizzie McGuire back, at least we'll get Hilary Duff, the singer back.

[Rhea]

You know, I agree with you, but the fact that that whole thing happened.

[Fran]

I know, is really got ripped away.

[Rhea]

From us is really a tragedy.

[Fran]

It is.

[Rhea]

It's kind of ridiculous that that whole thing happened and that they couldn't just trust Lizzie McGuire herself and Hilary Duff to create an amazing product. And yet they wanted to dull it down, childrify it, and.

[Fran]

Yeah. And now we don't have it.

[Rhea]

And now we don't. And that's really a damn shame because everybody was aboard.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

How do you have everybody aboard and you fuck it up that bad?

[Fran]

I know. I agree. It's like people were actually excited for it and seeing them on set and everything was like, oh, my God, this is gonna be so fun. And then they just didn't want to make the right show. Couldn't agree on it, really.

[Rhea]

Just a damn shame. But good for her. Very excited for that. I'm excited to see them document the process. That's amazing.

[Fran]

And then last on the topic list, SWAG2 was released by Justin Bieber. We were blessed with Swag, the original. And then we got Part two just dropped on Friday out of nowhere. Promo started on Thursday. We started seeing the Billboards, the Pink everywhere, and boom. Everyone was so happy that he dropped the second part.

[Fran]

And let me tell you, I am maybe the most happy because I enjoyed Swag. I wasn't, you know, I listened a couple times. Certain songs I really, really like, but Swag two, I immediately was like, oh.

[Rhea]

Yeah, yes, it's really good.

[Fran]

Like, this is what I've been looking for. The first ten, by the way.

[Rhea]

A lot of songs there is. He's blessing everybody with a lot of songs.

[Fran]

The first, like 10 songs for me, I was like, oh, my God, these. I was so into it. And then like the second half of the album, I honestly haven't even listened to so much yet because I've been so stuck on like the first 10. Because I like them so much that when I go and I'm like going somewhere or walking or listening, I just start from the beginning and then, you know, you really only get so far.

[Rhea]

Right?

[Fran]

But they're really good, really catchy, great beats. Love the production on them. They're a little more like, I don't know the right word. Solely chill. Mm. Which I really like.

[Rhea]

I kind of love that he's just doing no promo whatsoever and he's just like, boom, here's music. Boom, here's music. And it just. Yeah, because so nobody has to. The anticipation is not there. It's just like, here's 44 songs and.

[Fran]

We feel blessed on swag and swag, which is crazy. So, like, if you, if you open up Swag two, like on Spotify, it has disc one and then all those songs and then disc two is everything from Swag, which is just honestly amazing. I have been listening to it non stop. It's been my go to walking all of music now. Especially like the ideal good weather, walking around the city. Great music for that. It is really good eye candy I had playing all weekend. I love that one Eye Candy is so catchy.

[Rhea]

It is.

[Fran]

It has like the, like that piano, like that electronic piano kind of sound that reminds me of like, like an LCD sound system or something like that. That's really, really cool.

[Rhea]

I also love the Names of the songs.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Rhea]

Like, weird thing to point out, but I do love the names of the songs. Also. Just a big week for the Biebers in general. Rose came to Sephora, which is huge.

[Fran]

Huge.

[Rhea]

So we got. We had that going on. You had Haley promoting Road. You had Justin promoting Swag 2. They were all over the map promoting each other. It was great to see.

[Fran]

It was. It really was. I was a big fan. Speed Demon. Super catchy. The song about Haley and the baby.

[Rhea]

Mm.

[Fran]

Mother in youn.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Fran]

How fucking sweet is that song?

[Rhea]

Very sweet.

[Fran]

How sweet? You know, I think a lot of people listen to Swag and it was like, oh, you know, the best we.

[Rhea]

Could do is iPhone case lip gloss on it.

[Fran]

On it, you know?

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Like, that's my baby. Which.

[Rhea]

Catchy.

[Fran]

Very catchy and still very sweet, I think. But. But this one felt way more in his feels.

[Rhea]

There was some meaning behind those words.

[Fran]

It felt way, way more in his feels. Just a really sweet sentiment for a song of, like, looking at your baby and, like, seeing. Seeing Haley through him. And just like, that is really nice. It's really very, very sweet.

[Rhea]

You know what? Justin Bieber, he tells us his feelings through his songs.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yep. Yeah, that's nice. And Speed Demon, he says, like.

[Rhea]

Gosh.

[Fran]

Now I'm gonna forget what the lyric is. Something along the lines of, like, you guys all think I'm crazy, but now you know all the words to my song. You know that's obviously not the lyric, Right?

[Rhea]

But something has that effect. Right, but something that means something like.

[Fran]

That you all think, like, you think I've lost my mind. You know all my songs.

[Rhea]

Yeah, it's not that either. Boom, mic drop.

[Noah]

They try to say I'm out of my mind, but now they're saying everything. Singing every line.

[Fran]

Yep, that's it.

[Rhea]

That is true.

[Fran]

That's it.

[Rhea]

That's a bar. I knew the vibe you were going.

[Fran]

With us, but that sounds way better in a song.

[Rhea]

It rhymed and it went in the song. But yeah, Swag two, people are loving it and we love to see it.

[Fran]

Yeah, I'm fired up for him. I'm excited that people are loving this one. I love seeing all the tick tocks that he's like, reposting of. People too. Freaking out.

[Rhea]

Oh, my God. Yeah. He reposted Ray, who works at Barstool and very, very funny on TikTok.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And that was exciting to see posted on his Instagram. I was like, whoa.

[Fran]

Right? It's like you could take a chance if you wanted to post one of these songs, you could end up on Justin Bieber.

[Rhea]

You never know. Film yourself singing. You could be discovered. Right?

[Fran]

She's like all of a sudden, bam. You're not. It's not even like reposted or anything. It's like screen recorded and posted as a full post on his Instagram.

[Rhea]

Right. That's how people were discovered. Discovered back in the day on Justin Reapers Instagram.

[Fran]

So it is.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Maybe we'll get smack. Three.

[Fran]

Wow.

[Rhea]

Maybe. You never know.

[Fran]

He just keeps on churning out swags.

[Rhea]

He's just like swag. 1, 2, 3, 5.

[Fran]

Holy shit.

[Rhea]

You never know the swag. You didn't know two was coming.

[Noah]

Swag is never CDs.

[Rhea]

Now 18.

[Fran]

Why stop at two, right? Just name every album.

[Rhea]

Swag going foe. He could be the Swag guy.

[Fran]

Yeah. He always has been.

[Rhea]

That's true.

[Fran]

He always has.

[Rhea]

That is true. All right, that wraps up the topics.

[Rhea]

All right, let's get into the popcorner. We are taking your voicemails, your opinions, your hot takes. Let's get into it. Noah, play that first voicemail.

[Voicemail Callers]

Hey, guys, it's Becca from Charlotte. So my hot take is this. I think Love Thy Mater was so good that I think they are warming us up to cancel the Kardashians and replace it with these new girls. They're younger. You can watch them get married, have kids. It's a whole refreshed plot line. I think they're the replacements for the Kardashians. What do you think? Bye.

[Fran]

I don't think anybody can go out and necessarily replace the Kardashians, but I'm. I'm sure Hulu wants the Naders to have the same impact as the Kardashians. Yeah.

[Rhea]

I think it would be hard to ever replicate what the Kardashians did and the impact that they had, honestly, and have. And still have. That was just like lightning in a bottle. And it really, for sure, really just out of nowhere. And for years and years and years, they have just maintained the level that they are at. And I think you're right. It would be hard to replicate something like that. Like, I don't know if the Kardashians will ever be dumb, you know, will they maybe not have a reality show anymore? Maybe. And maybe then you have new reality shows come in, like Love Thy Nadir. But I don't know if anyone like. Cause even, you know, you got Alex, Earl and Ashton and her family. Right. Like, people follow them. Right. And some at one point we're saying, like, they're like the Kardashians, but I just feel like nobody's ever going to be followed as much as the Kardashians.

[Noah]

They try with the d' Amelio show, remember?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And, like, you can have certain, you know, aspects of it, but I don't think anyone's ever going to be like the new Kardashians because they're just that. That large at that point.

[Fran]

Yeah. Replace, I think, is just the wrong word because it kind of insinuates that they would go away and it. And the Naders would be taking their place kind of thing, which I don't necessarily think is the case, like, because the Kardashians could want to be on TV forever and no one's gonna stop them if that's what they want. Of course, the show could come to end eventually, but if they don't want to do that. But there is room for these other reality shows, reality TV family, definitely, to grow and take over and have a super, super, super impactful effect on, you know, pop culture and reality TV, which I do think the naders could 1 million percent do, because people really loved the first season. I thought it was great. And if they continue making a show that's like, open, honest, dynamic, like, they. It's very much that Kardashian formula of those early seasons of really sharing it all, that's changed now as the Show's change for the Kardashians, and they've gotten so, so mega, mega, mega, mega famous. They're not, you know, as open about everything as they are, as they are on the show as they used to be. But for. I mean, I think the Nader girls could absolutely do that.

[Rhea]

Like, yeah, they need it.

[Fran]

It's just they'll. They'll take over their own space.

[Rhea]

Yeah, they need a couple more seasons. They need people more on board. I think people loved it, but I think there needs to be more conversation about it. I didn't see it necessarily, like, you know, once. Once. Like nowadays, once the TikTok crowd gets a hold of something and then they become obsessed with it. Like, they need that to, like, kind of, you know, get things going. But I see people loving it and loving the first season, and we loved it, and we were very entertained. I thought the first season was very entertaining. So if they keep on that path, then I think that they are in a great spot.

[Fran]

Totally.

[Voicemail Callers]

Hey, Rean, Fran, it's Angie. Me and my roommates were, you know, keeping up with the summer I turned pretty. The most latest season I've been watching along with y', all, listening to what you have to say. And I love the Christopher Briney interview that you had. So one of my roommates actually had a very interesting comment. Not necessarily a hot take, but I just think that Christopher Briney's performance in this last season has been so good, and she said that he needs to get the Jacob Elordi treatment. And what he meant by that is because he's been doing so well, and I feel like his talent is so great. You know, Jacob Lord, he started on Kissing Booth, and now he's doing a lot of major movies and all that kind of like, more adult type content, if you will. And I just think Christopher Brownie deserves to have that kind of trajectory where he gets more challenging roles. Obviously, I'm not like his manager or anything, but that's just what I think. Let me know if you agree. Love you.

[Fran]

I. 100%. Yeah, you could absolutely have that path. We. I mean, we've been saying, give the kid the. Give him an Emmy. He's been fantastic.

[Rhea]

That's what I said as well. And listen, we're not as manager, managers, or agencies, so, like, obviously we would love for Christopher Briney to get that success, but we're not in control of that.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

So.

[Fran]

But we would.

[Rhea]

I would agree. I would have a root for.

[Fran]

It would. For. Would. Could totally see him going down that path, especially with the show that is set for three seasons, it's like, okay, then this is gonna be the end. And then it'll be really interesting to see what projects he does next because I bet you like, they'll be very selective on it. Of course, you know, he did mean Girls, which was a big one, big movie to do. To do, to be in obviously such a big name that that certainly helps also be like, oh, he's doing other things, but now, you know, does he do something a little more indie esque, a la J. Capelordi kind of thing? But he's got all the potential. He has the potential, has all the potential, 100%.

[Rhea]

So we're rooting for him. We're with you.

[Fran]

Yes, exactly. We'll be watching everything he does.

[Voicemail Callers]

Hi Rhea, Fran and Noah, this is Mikayla calling from Austin, Texas. But I was just calling because I wanted to know all of y' all's opinions or like feelings about all of these Taylor Swift vinyls. Personally, I am one of the biggest Swifties on this planet. But enough is enough. Like we don't need five variations of the same vinyl and we don't need a different drop for each vinyl. The mass hysteria that she causes with these countdowns, it's becoming too much just for it to be a vinyl. But yeah, wanting to know your thoughts.

[Rhea]

So we talked about this and I agree with the drops. Like I think she could announce on Friday, hey, Tuesday at 3pm I'm dropping another vinyl. And I think that stops the countdown of oh, what's it going to be? And then it's another vinyl. And then people are disappointed. That would take that away. People who are working at that time will know this, the time slot of when they need to be online to get this vinyl. If you announce what it's going to be, too many vinyls. I disagree with that because people, there are people out there that collect vinyls and they love that. And one may not be the one that you want, but you see another one, you go, oh, I love that one. So.

[Fran]

And the demand is there.

[Rhea]

Yeah. And that, that to me doesn't affect anybody. I think like more product the merrier in my opinion. Like, you don't have to buy it, you're not forced to, but the option is there if you would like it. I'm with you on the drops though. I think the drops can be announced like here, new vinyl dropping at this time. Not here's a, you know, ominous countdown for what could it be. Yeah, and then it's just Another vinyl.

[Fran]

Yeah, I, I do agree. I get it. It is a lot. And I think for the fans that feel like they need to buy every single one just to like, either support or they want it, they have, you know, it's a lot of money and it's, it's, it is a lot to, to keep up with and make sure you're on it with the countdowns getting all these things. Personally, I buy. When she announces a new album, it's like, oh, here's the pre order for the vinyl. I'm like, cool, I'll buy that. And then that's, you know, that's it. I see the other other vinyls, I'm like, okay. Like, it's just, it doesn't bother me. Like, I don't, I don't see it. I'm like, ah, another one. You know, it's, it's like, oh, she's putting out another one. But the hype around the drops, for sure, I get, I get.

[Rhea]

But I also guess, like, if you buy a vinyl and then you see another one come out and you're like, I like that one better, but I already bought that one. And then it, you know. Yeah, maybe just release them all at once so people can decide which ones they want.

[Fran]

Right, right.

[Rhea]

That would make it easier.

[Fran]

Yeah, that too.

[Rhea]

Probably save people some money and like, you know, because then people, then they buy and they're like, oh, but now I like that one. I have to have that one. And then they're spending all their money on Telsha vinyls when. If they were just all released at once. Yeah, here's five vinyls. Buy the one that you like best or buy two that you like best.

[Fran]

Right, right, right. So, yeah, now that's true too. I mean, it is a business. And she makes a ton of money off doing this, which I think obviously people get angry about and have opinions on because it just feels like, do you really need, like, something she really needs to be doing, you know, right.

[Rhea]

At this stage?

[Fran]

The argument I see a lot of people make, right, like, does the.

[Rhea]

Do the Jonas Brothers need a Christmas movie? Yes. Does Taylor Swift need all these vinyl drops? No. But she wants to do it.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rhea]

So, yeah.

[Voicemail Callers]

Hi, Ria, Fran, Noah, this is Desiree from Massachusetts. My question is actually to Rhea and Ria only.

[Fran]

Oh.

[Voicemail Callers]

I can't even remember. I've been listening to you guys for so long, so I can't even remember how many years ago, if it was, was a year, if it was two years ago. But when you got the DM, about whenever Bachelor tea. And you told everyone about it.

[Rhea]

Yeah. And swore that it was spring of 2023, you know.

[Voicemail Callers]

Correct. And then it wasn't. We watched the finale, and then you wore the clown suit.

[Fran]

I'm glad she's talking us through the whole.

[Voicemail Callers]

I gotta know, is there any. Has there been any other DMs that you've gotten with tea or spoilers that you are like, I am not saying about that, but, like, you want to. And then maybe it was right and you kind of wish that you said it, or are you like, I'm not speaking on anything ever again, or are you not even getting spoilers? Because that is my Roman Empire. Like, sometimes I just think about that. And that was my favorite episode today, so.

[Rhea]

Love you. Love you.

[Voicemail Callers]

Curious. Let me know. Bye, guys.

[Rhea]

Love you very much. For background information for those that maybe do not know what she's talking about, I'll fill you in. There was a season of the Bachelor airing. Zach, season of the bachelor. Somebody had DM'd me saying that they knew the ending of the season, and it was, like, jaw dropping, shocking. They told me that Zach, the Bachelor was. He ended up with Jess, who was sent home early on in the season and was, like, living with her. And they were so adamant and, like, we honestly, like, me and this girl, like, never really spoke again because the way that she was so adamant about this and then. And then it wasn't true.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I was a big fat clown and I wore a clown suit and everything because I was so wrong. I can't say that since I think definitely around that time people were sending me stuff, and I think it was like, throw me off and make me look a fool again. And I. And I just, like, swore off doing that ever again. I was like, I. I will not be in this game any longer. I'm not.

[Fran]

We're not in the spoiler.

[Rhea]

I'm not in the spoiler game. And I. And I tapped my foot in it for one second and I got clowned and I wrote it off. In general, like, we get. I feel like we get stuff all the time. Like a tip here, tip there about celebrities or this person's this and this person that. This person is dating this person. And we kind of just look at them, take them for a grain of salt. And then when it's confirmed by fucking Page Six, we're like, yeah, it's happening. Like, I'm not in the spoiler game. I'm not in the. You know, we got a dm, a rumor game.

[Fran]

Not in it, because you end up.

[Rhea]

Looking like a fool if you're wrong. And that's what happened with me. And I'll never forget. And then I remember the girl who sent me the spoiler was, like, mad at me.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Because I was mad. And I was like, well, you're mad at me. I'm mad at you. Like, you promised me that this was real.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rhea]

And it wasn't.

[Fran]

And my God, was it?

[Rhea]

But my God was so wrong.

[Fran]

Zach and Katie were like, what?

[Rhea]

Yeah. And they're like, married or getting married. They are married now, so they are straight up married. Big congratulations to them. And I was so wrong.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah, I know. And I think, like, both of us sometimes will get. If anything, we get a DM where we're like, ooh, interesting.

[Rhea]

And we talk about it with each.

[Fran]

Other, but it's never something we share or really declare publicly.

[Rhea]

And I also pride ourselves on that as well, because I think we're good at keeping secrets in that sense. If somebody hits us with little news and they're like, oh, but don't tell anybody, or you can tell, just don't say it's for me. I'm like, you know what? No, we're gonna keep this for ourselves. Because also, don't be wrong either. Totally.

There's a reason group chats spill more tea than an entire season of reality tv. Just like there's a reason Morgan and Morgan is America's largest injury law firm with over $25 billion recovered for over 500,000 clients. Morgan and Morgan has a Peruvian track record of fighting to get you full and fair compensation. For over 35 years, Morgan and Morgan has been fighting for the people just like you and me. Hiring the wrong firm can be disastrous. Hiring the right firm could substantially increase your settlement. With Morgan and Morgan, it's easy to get started and. And their fee is free unless they win. If you're ever injured, you can check out Morgan and Morgan.

Hi, Rhea, Fran, and Noah. This is Jaz from Scranton. My question is, if you were to be on Dancing with the Stars, who would your dream partner be? Like, which one of the pros? Obviously, like, I would pick Derek or Mark Salas. I've been watching forever, so those two obviously come to mind right away. But now, more recently, I feel like Ezra would be so much fun to be paired with. So just curious what you guys think. And then also on the other end of that, if you were guy, if you guys were pros on Dancing with the Stars, who would your dream partners be? So Let me know. Thanks. Bye, guys.

[Rhea]

Ah, good question.

[Fran]

Great question. I think mine's Val.

[Rhea]

That's a great one. I think mine's valid. I would maybe go Pasha because I feel like he's a little bit shorter and I feel like for dancing purposes, you know, I think it's a taller task if the height difference is a lot. You know what I mean? Like, with Daniela, and she always had super tall partners, and it was always very impressive that she was able to choreography. Yeah. With such tall partners. I'm not saying it would be that large of a difference, but. Yeah, I think Pasha is fun and nice and love his relationship with Daniela and. Yeah. But I also think Ezra would be fun.

[Fran]

Totally.

[Rhea]

I think Brandon would be fun. I think. I don't know if I would want to be with Mark.

[Fran]

Yeah. Mark. Yeah. Mark's tough.

[Rhea]

Yeah. That. I think Mark, he's great. And you want to be paired up with him for winning purposes. But in. In terms of like, I don't want to be yelled at.

[Fran]

Yeah. That's where I feel like Val. Val is like a middle. Like, he can be very intense and tough, but can also, you know, have some fun.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Where I feel like I'd be somewhere in that. In that world now. I don't even really know if I could even come up with an answer on Star if I was a pro, because it's. It's just far fetched fairyland. Right.

[Rhea]

It's like anybody, really.

[Fran]

I take any celeb as my, you know.

[Rhea]

Right.

[Fran]

That means I'm a pro dancer. I'm. I'm a pro dancer. I don't care who the hell I get at that point. But of course, like, first name that comes to mind is like, you know, Joe Jonas.

[Rhea]

Yeah, that's a great pick.

[Fran]

Like, Joe Jonas would be so fun.

[Rhea]

Yeah. You know, I'm thinking, like.

[Fran]

Who would. I don't know if we need to be in the dance with the stars world or if we can, like, really dream big here.

[Rhea]

Right. Like Glen Powell in a couple years when he's done 20 years.

[Fran]

Glen Powell at 60.

[Rhea]

No, I wouldn't want to work with an oldie.

[Noah]

You'd be an oldie.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Yeah. So we're talking now like somebody who would pair up now? That's a good question. Like Jake Shane maybe would be fun.

[Fran]

He would. He'd be so fun.

[Rhea]

Like, that would be fun because he would get the Tick Tockers watch. But then he'd also be fun, and I feel like he'd be really dedicated as well.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Rhea]

Yes. I feel like we'd have fun together.

[Fran]

He would be really fun.

[Noah]

The heights would match up, kind of.

[Rhea]

Yeah, no, that's. I'm thinking shorter.

[Fran]

Like. Yeah. Or like, I would maybe go athlete, you know, like Jason Kelsey. Yeah, yeah. Jason would be great. Or even. I'm trying to think of, like, other football players or maybe even go basketball down the line. Yeah, maybe, like, Steph Curry's gonna want to do Dancing with the Stars eventually, you know?

[Rhea]

Yeah, he's not as tall.

[Fran]

No, but he's still, like.

[Rhea]

He's still tall.

[Fran]

Yeah, he's certain. Like, he's shorter than other basketball players.

[Rhea]

But he would be tall. 3. Yeah, he would be.

[Fran]

He would be tall to us. I think Steph Curry's got to be, what, six, two?

[Noah]

Yeah. Let's see.

[Fran]

Six, one. Six, two.

[Noah]

Six two. This says. But I feel like sometimes they say.

[Fran]

They juice it a little bit. No, I think they say.

[Noah]

They say.

[Rhea]

I think taller.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

So maybe six, six, one.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Noah]

I could see his wife going on.

[Fran]

Oh, yeah, I could see. But yeah, I feel like the athlete world would be a fun one.

[Rhea]

That would be fun.

[Fran]

Like, tap into. To tap into that. That would be a fun one. To see who you could get Do. To. To do. It hurts.

[Noah]

Do you think the pros, like, put in requests ever, or. No, like, they don't do that.

[Fran]

I don't. I don't think so. Yeah, I think they're just, like, lucky to be asked. Like, you know, they're happy to be asked back to be on the show.

[Rhea]

But I think the pros that have been there for a while, like, I don't think they put in requests for celebrities, but I think once they know what celebrities are joining, they put in requests of which celebrities they want. Like Mark. Like, Mark Ballas put in requests for Whitney from Mormon Wives because she's has a career, has a degree in dance.

[Fran]

And I think the dance. I think the casting.

[Rhea]

That's it. That's, by the way, not confirmed. That's just your thought?

[Fran]

That's just your thought? Yeah. Yeah. I think the casting team at Dancing the Stars is also really, really good with knowing the pros and knowing, like, who they're going to be good working with, and they're not trying to piss them off by giving them, you know, the person that they know is probably gonna be sent home on week one, like, three seasons in a row.

[Noah]

But as a pro, do you think you want, like, the best dancer out of the celebs, or do you want the biggest challenge, you know, I mean, it just.

[Fran]

I think it just depends on their preference. I don't really know if you could answer that.

[Noah]

It puts you to the test more if you're like, I need to take this guy who can't dance.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And make him a dancer. And you're just giving, like, d'. Amelio. It's like, oh, I don't need to do anything here.

[Fran]

Yeah. But that's also not true because, like, even with Charlie, it was like she was judged on such a different level than everybody else.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So, like, it is really a challenge to make sure that they're shown in that way and people are still impressed by it. And they're not just watching me like, oh, well, she's already a dancer, so that's really not that impressive. You know, they still have to, like, push it pretty hard to be seen by the judges as like, wow, that was. That was good.

[Noah]

So I'm ready for Andy Richter. I see all the tick tocks.

[Fran]

His tiktoks are so cute. Oh, my God, his tiktoks are so cute, dude. I think Jenna finally got reunited with Corey, but that was making me a little nervous every second. Jenna was like, yeah, haven't seen him since Good Morning America. He said some prior commitments and not sure when I'm gonna see him.

[Rhea]

But, yeah, that was also just, like, a little awkward.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

People were like, yeah, what? But she had. Because people were like, where are your tick tocks? According. She was like, not with him. I don't. I can't.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

So did you see Derek at the Savannah Bananas game?

[Rhea]

Yes, I did. I did see that. Yeah. I was like, wow. We were just there. We were just talking about it.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Up.

[Rhea]

Oh, yeah. All right, that wraps up the popcorn. Yes.

[Fran]

Thank you, everyone.
