Yeah, so he's so it said on Instagram. But like what he then that just means he's running a half marathon on his own.

Okay, okay, you said 16, and then I said 25, but.

Right, okay, yes. You know what? I feel better that I was literally one day off and we're just gonna pretend like that didn't happen. But you. I. You have until October 15th, and it's.
Rhea
Really not a lot of time.
Fran
It's not a lot of time. It really isn't.

Yeah, but 30 isn't like. I mean, I guess we'll see what the list is.
Fran
We will. Some of them.

Some of them are already a little bit.
Rhea
No, but there's, like.
Noah
Don't go easy on me, though.

Fran
Oh, yeah. Wow, that's a good tease. One week from today. The big 34. 30. Listen, Noah, this is gonna be big, right? You have a lot of eyeballs on you, and this is a lot of pressure.
Noah
I'm sure it'll be way bigger than some of them.
Fran
We will help you with, you know what I mean?
Noah
Like, I. I don't know what you mean.
Fran
Like, we'll help you. Like, if you, you know, we'll help you accomplish your goals.
Noah
Okay.
Fran
Or our goals, because you're everyone together, really. They're everyone's goals, you know? How's everyone feeling today besides that?
Rhea
Good, good.
Fran
Lovely little one. Today.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah, I. I'm.
Rhea
I'm. It's just that gearing up for that time of the month, I just get. I get migraines. Like, it's the worst. It's ripe. Always right before I get my period, I get bad migraines. And it's nice now. I'm like, I woke up this morning. I was like. I went to bed at a splitting. Migraine was so bad, even when I woke up this morning, I still kind of felt it. Which is the worst when you go to sleep and you're like, I'm just gonna sleep this off. And then you wake up, and it's still. It's still kind of there. But I got up to feed Olive, and then I was like, we're just. The Both of us were getting back into bed. Yeah. Major snuggle time. But my. My. It's something that I'll come around to because everyone does, and eventually you just get used to it. But I'm. I'm in all black for a reason today. Because I was just looking at my bed. I was like, oh, my bedding is all cream. And my God, just the hair.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah, the hair. All the black hair. And she doesn't really look like. She doesn't look like she would shed a lot, but she sneaky does.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And I gave her a bath the other night, which always kind of, you know, loosens it all up. And she loves to roll around and wiggle.
Noah
She likes that little circle.
Rhea
Yeah, she does. She like. Well, she like. She really likes a fuzzy blanket. She loves comfort.
Fran
Who doesn't?
Rhea
Who doesn't? So like any. If she'll find the fuzzy blanket, if it's on the couch, on the floor. She liked this little fuzzy rug, you know? She likes. She likes that.
Fran
Loves getting cuddly.
Rhea
Exactly. Exactly. She loves to be cozy. She's in here, she's chewing on a toy. And even though you know you're listening, on Wednesday, it's National Rescue Dog Day.
Fran
Yes.
Rhea
So big day for Olive. Big day for Olive.
Fran
It's Olive's day.
Rhea
It is her day. And you know What? I saw Ms. Peaches get the bone. Bone to the city down there in Miami.
Fran
Amazing.
Rhea
And you know what? I think olives should be next up.
Fran
Yes, of course.
Rhea
The Bone to the city.
Fran
Yeah. National Olive Day. The Olive to the city.
Rhea
Yes, exactly. Exactly. So it's a great day.
Fran
Do you know the cure for a migraine or what helps a lot?
Rhea
No.
Fran
A McDonald's fry.
Rhea
Oh, I've seen people say this.
Fran
Coke. And a Coke.
Rhea
Yeah, I mean. And what? Just. I mean, it's just a shit ton of sugar, no salt.
Fran
Oh, and. And sugar and caffeine. Yeah, it's really the salt from the fries and then the caffeine.
Rhea
Caffeine from the coke.
Fran
From the coke.
Noah
One fry.
Fran
Let me tell you.
Rhea
It's gotta be the sugar.
Fran
Let me tell you. It really helps. Yeah, I've done it a couple times. It helps a ton. People say it's the cure, they're onto something. It really does help.
Rhea
That's good to know because I'm always looking for something.
Fran
Try it next time. It might fix it right up.
Rhea
I'm always looking for something.
Fran
You never know.
Rhea
There is just the. It is crazy when you see the amount of sugar in the. I had a classic glass bottle Coke recently and I drank the whole thing and it was delicious. And then I was like looking at the back and I was like, oh, my God.
Fran
Well, when you're gonna treat yourself to something like that, it's.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
You don't look at the back.
Rhea
No, you don't.
Fran
You know what I mean?
Rhea
You don't. I wasn't really planning on it.
Fran
And when you're trying.
Rhea
It just was turned and facing me.
Fran
Right. But when you're trying to fix a migraine, you don't look at the nutritional.
Rhea
Oh, well, this wasn't. I wasn't trying to.
Fran
No, I know, that's what I'm saying. You're mentioning the sugar, the nutritional facts about the window. We gotta fix this migraine. I don't give a.
Rhea
No, no. That for sure. That for sure. You know, I had a chocolate chip cookie today that was out of this world.
Fran
Wow.
Rhea
Really good. From a sandwich place. It was a brown butter, chocolate chip cookie.
Fran
Brown butter is the way to go.
Rhea
Little salt on top.
Fran
Oh, my God.
Rhea
God, it was delicious.
Fran
While we're on, like, this isn't food related, but it's like good smelling. And chocolate chip cookies smell amazing. I have a new lotion, shower oil, whole thing I'm obsessed with. And by the way, I'm probably very late to the game because this is a very popular brand. This is not an ad. I genuinely just started using this recently and I love it. And it's now, like in my scent layering combination. But the Sol de Janeiro purple line.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
The body butter, I think it's 59.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
The body butter and the shower oil. Oh, my Lord. Smells in my opinion. Some people hate the smell. Some people love it. I think it smells incredible.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And I'VE now incorporated it.
Rhea
Which one? What's like the, what's the.
Fran
I think it's like description. Maybe sandalwood and vanilla or some sort. I don't know.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I just know that I love it. I smelled it for the first time. I was at my parents house on Long island and. And my sister had the purple body butter.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And I was getting out of the shower and I needed some lotion and I said, you know what? I'm gonna use this. And I said, oh my God, this smells incredible. Immediately I bought some, I bought the shower oil, I bought the body perfume to layer onto my other perfumes and woo. I'm loving it. So girls, if you're looking for a new lotion or shower oil or something, give the Sol de Janeiro purple line a try.
Rhea
I feel like I just always end up using the classic.
Fran
No, no.
Rhea
Yeah, I've used the classic.
Fran
I think this one smells better. In my opinion. Everyone has their own that they like. They also have the pink one and whatever. This one.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I still smell it on me and I just can't get enough. I love it, I love it. I'm layering it up.
Rhea
Give me a whiff. I don't know if I can smell it.
Fran
I don't know. I think if you come to my chest, which you would have to come closer to my chest to smell.
Rhea
Sniff into your boobs.
Fran
Yes. Use this for a clickbait, Noah.
Rhea
Oh, I can't smell that. That smells good.
Fran
Thank you.
Rhea
Really good.
Fran
That's a good reaction.
Rhea
Oh, that smells lovely.
Fran
It's a good reaction.
Rhea
It's like fresh too though. Like it's not like overly.
Fran
No, it's like sweet when you get out of the shower and you smell like fresh and clean. Yeah, I kind of love that.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
So I've been using the shower oil, the body butter and then I have another perfume I've been wearing from Dead Cool. A different scent than what I usually do. I'm trying out their new scents and then I sprayed the perfume mist on top of that to layer with my Dead Cool. And I'm like, I'm loving this combo. So lovely. Just a little out there. If people are looking for a new scent to try.
Rhea
Love that. Love a good. Anything to enhance, to enhance the shower experience.
Fran
Oh, I, I love smelling good starts in the shower.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
You know, you gotta get the good smelling oils on there, the body washes, all of that. Then you get out, you layer your creams.
Rhea
Ye.
Fran
You get the perfume and you don't want it to Be too overbearing, but just enough that when you walk into a room or whatever it is, people are like, oh, something smells good.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And you can in your head be like, it might be me.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
Because, you know, you've been putting in that work to smell good. So. Little. Little.
Rhea
What are you giggling about?
Noah
That was just funny to me, putting in that work.
Fran
You are the work.
Rhea
It is. It's a lot of layers.
Fran
There is a lot of layers.
Rhea
A lot of layers. It's not just like a little spot spritz.
Fran
Spritz. No, no. You gotta layer it up to really work. But, you know, I give it a shot. That's a little recommendation right out there, you know, if you're looking for a new scent. But side note, this is random as well. I think I might go. Might go get my second hole pierced.
Rhea
Oh, really?
Fran
I've been thinking about it for a while.
Rhea
I was thinking. I. To be honest, I was also thinking about that recently, but I just had a bat. Like, not a bad experience, but just my second hole in my left ear just was never like, always bothered me. Always. Do you have. What, did you had it?
Fran
No, I have piercings higher up on my ear, but not my actual. I. I can't remember. Like, I have a second hole around here that's closed.
Rhea
So I'm like, we went and did it.
Fran
Yes. I think we only got one.
Rhea
Yeah, we did. Because I remember that's my second hole on this side.
Fran
Okay. That makes so much worse.
Rhea
Never wear an earring over there. It's still there.
Fran
It all depends on the place you go to and everything. So I was like, you know what? Maybe I'll go after work today and get my. Get my second. Because I've been thinking about it for a long time to just get little tiny studs there. Just. Just because. Because I'm like, I love the way it looks.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
But I just have never even got to go do it. And I was like, well, you know, I have the time.
Rhea
I think I'm just like, I think it's not going to work for me because I'm just a side sleeper. As am I. I.
Fran
But maybe it'll force you to sleep.
Rhea
I know, I know. That is true. That's true. Every few months I do like, I do check, like I put an earring in to be like, ah, is that that hole still there? And I wear it for like a few hours. Then my ear. Whole ear gets really hot and uncomfortable and I'm like, I'm not gonna force this And I stop.
Fran
You're kind of like making me like not want to do it.
Rhea
I know.
Fran
Well, everybody reacts really excited. Everybody makes me nervous.
Rhea
Everyone reacts differently to it. But I just a realistic feel because I think the piercings look amazing. And then sometimes after like a week, it. It hurts.
Fran
Yeah, that could happen. Well, you know.
Rhea
Well, it just depends.
Fran
It just depends. Right. And I guess you don't know how you do it.
Rhea
And if you're, if you're going to go. I think if you're going to go like, just do it up. Like get like multiple.
Fran
Well, I don't want multiple. What do you mean you want.
Rhea
Well, if you're going to just get.
Fran
Two cute cutie little second holes.
Rhea
Oh, I want both on both sides.
Fran
Yeah. No, no. Yeah. Like of my ears pierce on both sides to match.
Rhea
Yeah. Cuz I was going to say if you were just going to get it on one side, I'm like, just go up the ear then, you know. So like your whole left ear is out of commission.
Fran
No, I don't want to do that. I just wanted two little second holes.
Rhea
Well, okay. Okay.
Fran
You know like when people go get their second holes pierced?
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Bada bing, bada boom.
Rhea
Both sides.
Fran
That's what I was thinking about doing. So we'll see.
Rhea
I was gonna say, does. Is the one on your left still there or closed?
Fran
I haven't tried. I have them in the middle of my ear on like my cartilage.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
That I haven't worn in like five years.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
So I. These I feel like are definitely not.
Rhea
Oh, 100.
Fran
You know, I had my.
Rhea
They were cool pierced up there too. And the problem got infected on spring break my freshman year of college. Was not cute.
Fran
Yeah, that isn't cute.
Rhea
Took it out and I was like, this is done.
Fran
Yes. The problem is I also. These bothered me up here, but I'm. But I was just thinking because these are lower, they may not bother me. Yeah, these are like less. Less, you know.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Dicey. Yeah.
Rhea
Whereas these are a little bit harder, higher up cartilage. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Well, we'll see.
Rhea
You were just gonna go pop in a little, little shop today.
Fran
I was, honestly, after we recorded, I was just gonna go pop it. I was actually gonna ask if you wanted to come with me, but yeah, you know, I didn't know.
Rhea
I've. To be honest, I've been thinking about. I was thinking about doing it too. I just don't know if I can. I just don't know if I can.
Fran
Should we go after this. The problem is I walk for a National Rescue Day, and we could walk to the shop.
Rhea
Yeah, we could. I just need, like, a really.
Fran
I found a spot that seems, you know what's reputable.
Rhea
Oh, yeah?
Fran
Yeah. Like a good.
Rhea
I think I'm going to be. I think I need, like, a really bougie earring, though, is my problem. Like, I. Like a. Like a good friend. Yeah.
Fran
If you think I didn't find a bougie place.
Rhea
No, I know, I know, I know.
Fran
You thought wrong.
Rhea
I know.
Fran
I was. I found, like, a place that I was going to go. It's, you know.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Seems to be, like, higher end. Because I'm also going to realize sensitivity, you know?
Rhea
Right. Exactly. Are you all done chewing on your toy? She's like, yep, that's it.
Fran
All right, Olive, we're gonna take you.
Rhea
For a little walk. Sounds like maybe she's down Mommy and.
Fran
Your auntie to get their ears pierced today.
Rhea
Oh, what do you think?
Fran
What do you think? You like that idea? Oh, she's wagging her tail. She loves it. What do you think, Olive? You want to get a piercing? She likes it. Yeah, she likes the idea. We have, like, walking outfits on, too.
Rhea
Well, we sneaky. If we go outside, we'll look ridiculous because I also brought a denim over jacket to wear today. I just took it off. Cause it's over there. But I did show up wearing exact. You know. And we are nearing the exact same. The exact same thing.
Fran
It's just the time of the year with the weather and everything.
Rhea
It is. It is.
Fran
All right, well, we'll see what happens after this. Maybe we'll go get piercings. No, you want twist my arm? You want to get a piercing?
Noah
Is that on my 30 before 30 list? No, I'm just kidding. I hope it's not. You're smiling like it is.
Rhea
Who knows?
Noah
Is it?
Rhea
Who knows?
Fran
It's number two on your list.
Noah
I can't tell if you're being serious or not.
Rhea
Would you get a tattoo, Noah?
Fran
Get a tattoo.
Noah
My parents would be so mad.
Rhea
You think they're, like, a really cool one for, like, your favorite.
Noah
Every time I put a temporary tattoo on, I'm kind of like, wow. Like, I could kind of rock.
Rhea
I think you could really be a tattoo guy.
Noah
I don't have.
Rhea
Not a tattoo guy.
Noah
No, not tattoo guy. But, like, I could have one, but I would want it to mean something like, I don't want to just have a.
Rhea
You're such a music guy, though. There's so many cool.
Noah
Every time I think of, like, a lyric, I'm like, that is so corny to have a lyric on your arm or something.
Rhea
I mean, I wouldn't maybe go lyric, but lyric.
Noah
Or like, what? Like what?
Rhea
Maybe John Mayer's an issue.
Noah
That is. I mean, that's crazy.
Rhea
I'm joking. I'm joking. Something else.
Fran
Would you get your ears pierced?
Rhea
My brother has cool, like, music orientation.
Noah
Well, actually, no. No, I'm not talking about your.
Rhea
Or like, something like a favorite song. Like something that's like a Maybe something. Well, let's not ruin it now.
Noah
Don't ruin the surprise.
Fran
Awkward.
Rhea
But a little something, a little symbolic to, like, maybe one of your favorite songs. Like, I always talk about how I would get, like, a little ladybug heart. It'd be like my love bug tattoo.
Fran
I love that.
Rhea
You know, there's, like, There's. There's.
Noah
Yeah, but you guys already have tattoos. I'm.
Fran
I'm all gravity. It's just a moon.
Rhea
What about a chicks in the office tattoo?
Fran
What if you had a lightning bolt.
Rhea
Right on your wrist you can match?
Noah
You guys are like, yeah, my 30 before 30 is just gonna be permanently altering my body.
Fran
Yeah, maybe. Maybe There might be a couple things on there. Maybe.
Rhea
I don't know.
Fran
There's a couple selfish things on there too.
Rhea
I just think there's some cool.
Fran
But.
Noah
Like, 30 for 30 clean.
Rhea
I think tattoo would make you cooler.
Fran
Wow, you think so?
Rhea
Yeah, I think it would.
Noah
I mean, you could probably. For most people, I feel like that's true. Like, theoretically, a tattoo makes anyone cooler.
Fran
Wait, I actually.
Rhea
I feel like Noah is the card he gives off. Like, he'd have three or four tattoos.
Fran
I actually saw a really annoying TikTok the other day. Have you seen the. The theme, the trends? Why can't I think of the word where it's like, propaganda? I'm not falling for.
Rhea
Yeah, it's all. It's the only thing on my. For you guys right now.
Fran
And one of them was, like, propaganda. I'm not falling for tattoos. And I was like, what?
Rhea
Yeah, there's a lot on there that I'm like, what do you mean? Like, I fell for it, and I'm still falling for it, but I'm just like, tattoos.
Fran
Like, you're not falling for tattoos like that. So many people. Like, I don't even know what the percentage of the world has tattoos, but a lot of people.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, cool.
Fran
If you don't want to get a tattoo, that's fine.
Rhea
Yeah, I know for sure, people are really making kind of outrageous lists on purpose.
Fran
Yeah. Oh, propaganda. I'm not falling for.
Rhea
I see. I see either Taylor Swift or Taylor Swift hate on every other person's list. It's like they're. You're either saying you're not falling for Taylor Swift or you're. They're saying you're not falling for the hate for Taylor Swift. They really go back.
Fran
Yeah. Just some things on people. I'm like.
Rhea
Yeah, fix those glasses and think about it. Yeah.
Fran
Just tighten myself up here and think about this. Anyways, all right, let's get into the rest of the show while we.
Rhea
Let's do it.
Fran
Ponder if Noah's gonna get his ears pierced with us after this. Yeah.
Rhea
All right.
Fran
Ready to be talking about Haley's Vogue cover. Beautiful article, beautiful pictures. Obnoxious post by Justin Bieber on Instagram. Are we surprised at this point?

Fran
We'll get into it. But what the heli? Bill Belichick and Jordan potentially engaged. She's at least told one person, apparently.
Rhea
Which is such a funny quote.
Fran
She's at least told like this one person.
Rhea
She's at least told one person that she's one.
Fran
And that one person, I guess, ran to page Six.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Stassi baby confirms that she did have a bbl.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran

Haley's Vogue cover. Hailey Bieber's Vogue cover came out. Beautiful pictures, stunning article. Talked a lot about postpartum, her birth story, the things that she had been through. I thought it was a beautiful article and I thought it really gave us an inside look as to some of the things that they've been going through. Justin and Haley, we've all been judging from the outside. Justin even said some really nice things about Haley in the article. Haley talked about crazy birth story, crazy birth story that she hasn't really spoke on until now. And it just goes to show, and I think people have been talking about this. No matter how much money, fame, access that you have, things don't always go as planned when it comes to, you know, birth and postpartum and things like that. And everybody can go through something no matter what. So I thought her sharing her story was really excellent for people to read. And the things that she struggled with after, you know, body dysmorphia. You know, you see somebody as beautiful as Hailey Bieber and you think, you know, everybody has that same assumption, like, oh, they're, you know, their life is so perfect, but they, she also struggles with the things that we all struggle with. So teen hour labor.
Rhea
No. Epidural.
Fran
Yeah. Oh, insane.
Rhea
So get induced. Whole thing was crazy. And she was hemorrhaging after birthday, which is really scary.
Fran
Very, very scary. It can lead to many of complications and can be really scary. So she talked about that, talked about the advice Justin gives her for dealing with online hate. And you know, there's, there's no winning ignore it. Da, da, da. And I'm reading this in bed and I'm like, you know what, Ria, some of the things you said on the podcast last week were a little bit uncalled for.
Rhea
Right?
Fran
You didn't have to go in so hard on Justin and, and their marriage. Da, da, da. And their Marriage. And, you know.
Rhea
Yeah, no, it's fair. I mean, when you see these quotes, right? Like, Justin's been cited. Justin was cited in the article multiple times. One of them was, I've done a lot of dumb things in my life. He writes to me by email. But the smartest thing I ever done was Mary Haley, which is, you know, obviously very sweet. And then Justin also said of his family expanding from two to three. I'm walking in the days I always dreamed of. Like, there's really so many amazing quotes. And yes, like you said, there's ones of her. Him saying, like, you're never going to win. Like, you're never going to win with these people and all these things. And.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
But just really praising Haley in such a positive way in the article. And Haley mentioned, you know, the Internet and people criticized my relationship and we should be divorced or not married. Like, all these things. And it's like, yeah, it's like, no.
Fran
That was me last time we read it.
Rhea
We were like, once I had the same thought when I read it. I was like, oh, yeah.
Fran
I was like, oops, Rut row. And then just a mere couple hours later, Justin Bieber posts Haley's cover on his Instagram.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And writes, yo, this reminds me, when Haley and I got into a huge fight, I told Hails that she would never be on the COVID of Vogue. Yikes. I know. So mean. For some reason, because I felt so disrespected, I thought, I gotta get even. I think as we mature, we realize that we're not helping anything by getting even. We're honestly just prolonging what we really want, which is intimacy and connection. So, baby, you already know, but forgive me for saying you wouldn't get a Vogue cover, because clearly I was sadly mistaken. Why?
Rhea
Why?
Fran
Why did he have to go and make this about him diminishing her light in multiple ways? Because we read this article, we go, wow, that's really sweet. You know what? Maybe we have it all wrong. Maybe we're seeing things and we don't really know what's going on. This is nice article. Then we log on Instagram and we see this man once again who knows that his wife goes through the most absurd hate online and yet tries to. He just adds fuel to the fire.
Rhea
Yes.
Fran
Let's tell the world that I told you you'll never be on the COVID of Vogue. Just so everyone can. Now, instead of talking about the beautiful article and the sweet things that were said and the gorgeous images and pictures that were taken of Haley, you Know what? Now we're actually gonna focus on Justin's dumbass caption that he posted. Why? Why? Why?
Rhea
He ruined. He ruined the whole thing, really.
Fran
It's like you ruined the moment for her.
Rhea
He ruined the moment.
Fran
You take away her shine and you dim her light.
Rhea
And it's takes away from all the nice things he said in the article. It's just like, why? The point of the article is, like, you're still trying to show them in a positive light and, like, talk about your relationship and where there are. Where they are in their lives. I don't know why Justin felt the need to be like, let me remind everyone of the time the two of us got into a huge fight and I lashed out and told her she'd never be able to cover a vote. Right?
Fran
Like, you. Honestly, we didn't need to know that because now reading the things that you wrote over email to the Vogue editor that you actually told Hayley she'd never be on the COVID of Vogue. So, like, did you write these things over email, right, or what? You know, because now. I don't know. Right now I'm. Now I'm a little bit confused about the article, which is so annoying because.
Rhea
It'S like, so what a crazy thing to use as a. As a way to lash out at your partner.
Fran
You'll never be on the COVID of Vogue, honey.
Rhea
You'll never make it.
Fran
Like, okay, Anna Wintour, Vogue.
Rhea
Think again, honey.
Fran
Literally, Justin is the devil. Worst product, right? That's insane.
Rhea
You think you're the shit. Well, guess why. You'll never be on the COVID It's crazy.
Fran
Who the hell do you think you are, wifey? You'll never be on the COVID of Vogue. Like, it's crazy.
Rhea
And I guess, what is that also.
Fran
Like, what a crazy thing to say to your wife, regardless.
Rhea
Like, I'm like, maybe that's why he thought it'd be like a funny tidbit to share.
Fran
It's not funny enough. That's just like straight up really mean. And like, now I'm thinking about all the. That Haley's had to deal with from Justin lashing out on her.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Because, you know, he. And honestly, like, yeah, Justin probably has gone through a lot of that's really sad and up things have probably happened to Justin Bieber. But, like, it doesn't give an excuse to tell your wife she'll never be on the COVID of Vogue. And then he says he felt disrespected. I'm like, well, what did Haley do for him to feel Disrespected. Like what? Like.
Noah
Like turned on the light in the room or something.
Fran
Right. Tell him, you know, put the bong down. Like, I'm just. I don't know. It's. It just makes me upset because, you know, I was ready to turn a new leaf and be like, you know what? I'm not judging anymore. We don't know what goes on behind the scenes. Justin treats his Instagram like a finsta and he. He wants to bring it back to the early days of Instagram. No, no, he actually is straight up disrespectful and rant.
Rhea
I was distracted.
Fran
I'm sorry. I.
Rhea
You know what I said, and I second everything you were saying. Yeah, because I was listening. But somebody is deciding to act like a. Like a. Like a. She's in her terrible tooth.
Fran
She wants to go get our ears.
Rhea
Her terrible tooth.
Fran
She's upset about Justin and Haley.
Rhea
I know. I also have treats in my bag and she knows it.
Fran
Oh, we'll give her one.
Rhea
I know.
Noah
She.
Rhea
She. I said just. She. That was what. She was eating out of her toy this whole time. She had little treats in there, but.
Fran
Frank, she wants more.
Rhea
Well, she started chewing on the. But all of a sudden, I started to feel the mic move. I was like, what's happening?
Noah
This is a big olive cam day.
Rhea
Yeah. I was like, what's happening? While she started chewing on the bottom of the mic. So stand.
Fran
No, that's okay. She could do whatever she wants. No, you can do whatever you want. Auntie Riri says you could do.
Rhea
Auntie Riri says you could get your ears pierced before you turn 16.
Fran
Yeah, all you need is a legal guardian. No, I just think it's ridiculous. Like all you could have just said congrats and moved it along.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Posted her cover said, congrats, baby.
Rhea
I mean, he could have just moved pictures. So proud of you. She's so stunning.
Fran
I always knew she'd be on the COVID of Vogue.
Rhea
Yeah. It's also so crazy because so much of the article really revolved around her becoming a. A mom and her story and everything she had to go through and like, I mean, talking not an easy birth. Right. And battling through that and. And it's like there's so much substance to the actual article that it really is.
Fran
Right. So bizarre move. And like to dis and like kind of diminish it to just like being on the COVID of both. Whatever.
Rhea
Well, it like takes a much more appearance based thing.
Fran
Right. And also while there's so much substance in talking about postpartum, which a lot of women, you know, we haven't experienced that, but a lot of women talk about being the hardest time in their lives by far, and how much they struggle. And to have somebody who is a supermodel talk about something so open like, that can really help a lot of people. And it's like, I actually saw Kate, who works at barstool, make a tick tock about this the other day where she was like, I would just love. And she put up a picture of Sofia Richie where she was like, I would just love if Sofia Richie, like, got on there. I just talked about, like, I'm. I'm having the worst hemorrhoids after being pregnant, whatever, you know, like someone who looks like this talk about things openly.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
And, like, you know, getting in the step of that right direction of celebrities talking about things more openly. And postpartum and things, it's like, okay, well, we're now gonna have her husband.
Rhea
Who.
Fran
You know, I'm trying here. It's just. He's just so different.
Rhea
Does that mean we can't keep that? So close. We literally. We got. So.
Fran
What a nice email for Justin to send.
Rhea
So close.
Fran
I'm reading the captions. I'm like, justin, Justin wrote that email. Did he? Did he write that email?
Rhea
We were about to, like, really sing a different tune tonight. I was. I thought the same thing reading it. I was like, wow, I was eating my words, and I are really gonna have to sing a different tune today and be like, you know what? We're gonna backtrack. And then he posted that. He did. You know what? We're this close, Justin.
Fran
We were this close. And I'll even say this, we didn't post the clip from last week of us talking about the Biebers because I felt bad about it. And I was like, oh, you know, like, I was just being, you know, funny or whatever, and I feel sort of bad. So, like, maybe we just don't post that clip.
Rhea
Right?
Fran
Whatever. Our listeners know we were, you know, being cheap.
Rhea
Well, you kind of feel like an asshole when you see Haley literally cite like, oh, people on the Internet, they're always like, they're getting divorced. They're doing this. Like, it's so difficult to see that, like.
Fran
And you feel bad.
Rhea
Yeah, I feel like an asshole.
Fran
Here's the thing. I feel bad for Haley.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But Justin does not. He doesn't help the problem. Right? Right. He really makes it worse a lot of times. Right.
Rhea

Fran
Like yeah, yeah. Yo, we didn't have to know that. Yeah, we didn't have to know that.
Rhea
We did not. We really did not.
Fran
And it's still up. It's like Haley wasn't like, hey babe, delete that.
Rhea
No.
Fran
Because there's no use now we all saw it, right?
Rhea
Do you think that she is like thinks it's funny?
Fran
No, no.
Noah
To him. She'll probably pretend.
Rhea
She pretends she thinks it's funny.
Fran
She must. Yeah, I think she probably pretends a lot of things with him, right?
Noah
He seems like the guy. Like you can't say anything. You just have to go along with it. You have to be a yes man to him.
Fran
That's kind of what it like if you. It seems. Well, it seems like if you don't, he'll lash out and tell you you'll never be on the COVID of Vogue. So you know, watch what you say. Or else he'll tell you, honey, you're never going to make it.
Rhea
Vogue cover. Think again. It's like Haley's Cosmo at best. You'll be lucky.
Fran
Lucky if you get a people exclusive. Haley.
Rhea
Yeah. Crazy.
Fran
It's crazy sane. It really is insane.
Rhea
I love to know like where. Cuz now it's just like you like, like people said, it's like we, we don't need to know this stuff.
Fran
No.
Rhea
And it's so true. Cuz it's like, oh, they had a fight. But then it makes me think like what was the fight about? Like, was it a petty fight? Was it something serious? Well, that's what I just forgot to like take out the garbage. And they got into a massive fight. She was like, you're never gonna be.
Fran
No, it's just your mind starts wandering and they're like. And there's a little difference because somebody like some people are like, oh wow. Like they're being transparent. And it's like, no, no. But now like it's being transparency. To a point where it's like, well, now we're seeing how he speaks to her, and it's like, well, that's just straight up, really not right to speak to your wife that way. You know what I mean? Like, it's not like, oh, we fight. Yeah, okay. You know, whatever makes sense. No, we fight. And then he tells me, I will never be on the COVID of Vogue.
Noah
I would love, like, Marty, but you're never gonna be on the COVID of Vogue, Ria.
Fran
Like. Oh, a thought. No, like, come on.
Rhea
I just think it really. Like, the timing of it is so weird to me, too, because it just contradicts. And then it makes people think. Like, it probably makes people question the validity of the article. Right? Because it's like, you put out that article. Yeah, you put the article out. It's so nice. And then you're like, oh, are they just trying to sell me a story? Because Justin's. Then you just, like, Justin contradicts the article completely. There's a. There's a time and place for that, like, kind of transparency. And I do think people obviously, like, when. When that happens with celebrities. And there are things, of course, that, like you said, Haley opening up about her pregnancy, opening up about her birth story. Like, all those things are important to her, important for other people to see. Because especially, it's like, I think a lot of people see celebrities have babies, and they're like, oh, my God, look at her. She just popped that thing out. She's right back. Like, it's like, there's so many things, and she was trying to shine a light on her reality a little bit more. And. And it's just completely. Just contradicts it totally.
Fran
And I say, again, the writer putting in Justin wrote me over email, right? It's like, who wrote that email for Justin? And I hate that I even have to say that, because I didn't even think that for a second while reading it. I thought, oh, that's really nice that Justin wrote those things. Right? Oh, that's really nice. Kendall wrote those things.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just an unnecessary caption that.
Fran
He'S still leaving up. Like, I just went to it, and one of the. One of the top comments was, you need some help with captions, King.
Rhea
Yeah, Like, I. Yeah. Now, look. Did the caption of him at the Maple Leafs game saying, I'm a slut for this team?
Fran
That was funny.
Rhea
Laugh.
Fran
Yes, it was a good caption.
Rhea
Yes, it did. Yes, it did. It was an unfortunate outcome for the Biebers at that Game. But.
Fran
But then you have some people praising him for his honesty. Yeah, but I'm just like, I don't know.
Noah
It's not the same level, but I feel like it's similar in a way where it's like these celebrities, like Kanye, whoever, like, they'll do whatever and people are gonna defend them.
Fran
There's some people that are like, oh, he's so honest, telling us the fights they got into. It's like, well, no, now we're all rooting for Haley to, like, stand up for herself against you because you're telling her she'll never be on the COVID of Vogue.
Rhea
Right, right, right, right.
Fran
Maybe Haley was like, yo, justice, the album sucked.
Noah
Rio was right.
Fran
That random girl on Twitter.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah, she was right.
Rhea
Yeah, she was right.
Fran
I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, well, you know, rooting for them.
Rhea
Yeah, right.
Fran
It's like, okay, well, you too. Crazy kids.
Rhea
I know.
Fran
Shaking my head. Anyways, two other crazy kids were rooting for Bill Belichick. And Jordan seems to be.
Rhea
Yeah, allegedly. Two crazy kids.
Fran
Allegedly.
Rhea
Young love.
Fran
Young love at its finest. Allegedly engaged.
Rhea
Allegedly.
Fran
I kind of missed the talk about all this because I was on. I was on my honeymoon.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And I kind of missed, honestly, everything that went on. I'm still not really sure what happened. Like, Bill was doing an interview, and she was, like, in the background being like, no, don't talk about that, or something.
Rhea
He went on cbs.
Fran
I kind of chose to ignore it.
Rhea
Yeah. It's so fair. That is definitely a story. When you're on your honeymoon, you're like.
Fran
I can't get it.
Rhea
I don't have the great pass.
Fran
No, I didn't. I didn't have the bandwidth.
Rhea
No. He's been promoting a book, his new.
Fran
Book, the Story of Bill Belichick.
Rhea
And. Yes. And she's really taken over what is now being called Belichick Enterprises and acting as publicist, but also as many other things. And at a certain point during the interview, she apparently chimed in at multiple points. But the cut that we saw was when he was asked about the.
Noah
How they met.
Rhea
How they met, and. Which is a story that they've told. So, you know, Bill said it before they met on a plane, helped her with her homework.
Noah
Allegedly.
Rhea
Allegedly.
Fran
Right. Okay. Now I remember this. This meeting story.
Rhea
And she, like, was like, we're not talking about. Like, we're not talking about this. But apparently there was a couple other instances where she had chimed in. Apparently, there was a time where she, like, stormed off for 30 minutes. And like wanted Bill to leave with her. I don't know. It's just a lot of conflicting stories about, like if the reporter was maybe pushing it too much or she just really has taken over. Then there was also a story that right after they started dating, she was buying up all these properties in Massachusetts and renting them out. She's a fucking real estate mogul. And now did you see the reports.
Fran
That she was potentially lying about her age and she's actually older than she is?
Rhea
Oh, no, I didn't see that.
Fran
I think I saw that last week. Yeah, maybe she planted that one herself.
Rhea
Yeah, maybe. Because I feel like it's been. I feel like there have been a lot of girls that have made like tiktoks and shit about like knowing her in high school.
Fran
Yeah. Like pageantry, things like that.
Rhea
And she was just. She was just in the Miss Main Pageant supporting. Yep. And now apparently they're engaged.
Fran
And she told one person.
Rhea
She allegedly has told at least one.
Noah
Person that weddings gonna be so awesome.
Rhea
It's really, really bizarre. Has allegedly told one person that she is engaged. According to the New York Times, the outlet did not elaborate on Hudson's supposed reveal. That's really all we know. That's quite literally the one quote. And Bill's reps did not immediately respond to Page Six requests. I mean, Bill's rep is her. So I don't really. So many things running through Bill's rep is her. The report comes one month after the couple sparked engagement rumors after Hudson was seen wearing a diamond ring on that figure finger in New York City. She.
Fran
Is she. Is she gonna lock him up and steal his money?
Rhea
I mean, she's got the money already.
Noah
So what are the odds that they have a prenup?
Rhea
I don't think at all. Then there was also like, they said that she was banned from unc, and then UNC was like, no, she's not. It's just a whole thing. Whole crazy thing. She has been quite a. Quite a roller coaster ride. But you know, I think.
Noah
I think a lot of people are gonna be watching UNC this year.
Rhea
I wonder when these two crazy kids will get hitched or you think she wants a big wedding. Speaking of, I'd be shocked if his family's there to support.
Fran
This is just football talk. Did you see that Hailee Seinfeld and Josh Allen are getting married next weekend?
Rhea
Oh, shit. No.
Fran
I saw a report that they moved their wedding up to next weekend. Wow. And now listen. Where did I see that report? Hold on. TikTok Give me a second.
Noah
From her fan account.
Fran
Give me a second.
Rhea
Was it poo cray? No.
Noah
I would love.
Fran
You know what? That happens to me sometimes. I won't lie. Men's journal.
Rhea
Okay.
Fran
One second.
Rhea
They wanted to do it before all the football stuff starts up again.
Fran
It says Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Bean already has high expectations for the reported May 31 nuptials. Oh, he said, hopefully there's good booze at the wedding. He joked on the Rich eisen show on May 6th. But where did the report that it was May 31st come from?
Rhea
Right. Well, maybe it's just always been May 31st.
Fran
I just know that I saw that pop up somewhere. But this is in the men's Journal that they're saying reported date of May 31. While the wedding date hasn't been officially announced by the couple, Buffalo Bill's teammate Dion Dawkins reportedly revealed the date during a live interview in March.
Rhea
Oh. So it's always been. So the rumor date has always been May 31, according to.
Noah
Yeah, According to Bill's tackle.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Oh, that's gonna be beautiful. I feel like there's a bunch of weddings coming up.
Fran
This is May 25th.
Rhea
Demi Lovato is getting married this weekend as well.
Noah
Dion Dawkinson, May 25th.
Rhea
Oh, so maybe then that would make sense if they moved it up a weekend before.
Noah
But that's a Sunday.
Fran
But that's a Sunday. But Memorial Day is on Monday.
Rhea
Yeah. It's a holiday. Yeah.
Fran
So it could be on Sunday.
Rhea
That happens often when.
Fran
Yeah, when there's a holiday, people do it on Sunday. Oh, how exciting.
Rhea
Oh, good for them.
Fran
Oh, yay.
Rhea
That's exciting.
Fran
That's more exciting than Bill.
Rhea
Well, Jordan. Well, certainly. Yeah, certainly.
Fran
Moving on. Can't believe they're gonna get married. Jordan and Bill. Yeah, I can. At this point, at this rate, I don't even find it to be shocking.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
They're moving at a rapid pace.
Rhea
How fast do you think she'll legally change her name?
Fran
Oh, my God.
Rhea
Immediately.
Fran
Jordan Belichick.
D
Yeah.
Noah
I saw a tweet that was like, I can't wait to watch this documentary in, like, four years.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
It's gonna be like a horror documentary.
Fran
Oh, God. Oh, goodness.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
Scary stuff.
Noah
It's like, I wouldn't be surprised. Like, it's. I'm worried for Bill.
Fran
Well, I don't know. Bill. Bill doesn't seem to be worried for himself. He's kicking his feet in the air. He's a mermaid. It's a whole thing. Moving on. Yeah. He's literally bouncing around like a little girl. So there's a reason Memorial Day weekend feels like the unofficial start of hot girl summer.

That's the C h I c k s to 484-373-6753. That's c h I c k s to 484,373-6753. Sassy Baby has a podcast now. Podcast and which thoughts you have Thoughts on it? On her having a podcast.
Rhea
Good for her. I think it's just like. I actually think it's very interesting because it's kind of like the friend adjacent, like the Hollywood adjacent.
Fran
Mm.
Rhea
Kind of voice, if that makes sense.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
I would like it.
Fran
I would like for them to include some, like, friend, celebrity, some tidbits about that whole crew.
Rhea
It reminds me a little kind of of what, like, Tana and Brooke do in a way that maybe that's kind of the world that they would live in a little bit. But, yeah, I mean, I'm sure they have some of the craziest stories, for sure. It's like they're at all the events and they know all. Like, they hear all the stories.
Fran
Yeah. Give us.
Rhea
I don't really think. I don't know if it's like, spilled the tea every single episode type of thing, but.
Fran
But she's spilling the tea about herself because she did reveal that she did get a BBL when she was younger. She regrets it now, has had complications and she's gonna go through another surgery and try to, you know, because you can't be reversed. But I think, yeah, you know, she's not pleased with the decision that she made, which is always good when someone like that speaks about it publicly. So that younger girls can be like, oh, no, maybe I shouldn't get this BBL I'm thinking about. And now listen, if you really want to do it, you go for it. But you got to be super confident in that decision because a lot of times people end up regretting the work that they had done. I mean, Kylie Jenner's talked about it in the past on it just should.
Rhea
Not be done that early in your life. No, they were so young.
Fran
Right? And like, she's talked on the Kardashians at having a younger daughter. Like she would be heartbroken to hear that her younger daughter wanted to change something about her.
Rhea
Totally confirmed that they, I mean, Kylie, they went to the same doctor, right?
Fran
It was like Stasi confirming that she had a BBL, confirmed that all the.
Rhea
Card ash has had BBLs besides Kylie.
Fran
Like, I don't think Kendall's had a BBL.
Rhea
No, no, no. But, but, but the rest of them, Kylie for sure.
Fran
Maybe, maybe not.
Rhea
Courtney, Kylie and Stassi look like they had, they had the same work done for sure, 1,000%. But it was, it was, it's very interesting to hear her say it and just share that. Like it is a, you know, a regret that she has and she wishes she didn't make that decision at, at such a young age and she knows, like the impact of it now. She also said, remember when my name was Stassi, baby? Yes, sure. Did she acknowledge that she had the bbl, saying it's something she's actively been trying to fix for so long. She said of her one year old niece Sophia, she said, I don't want her to look at me and be like, I have to do all these things to fit this mold of what people think that women should look like. If there was anyone over the years that I've made feel that way, I really am sorry because I know what it feels like and I hope that together we can come to this place and having this, you know, open, honest place for us to work through these things and have that conversation, which, you know, what, which is good. You know, it's, it's actually hearing her.
Fran
Be like, I'm really sorry, which, you know, she doesn't have to apologize, but like, that she, that she does feel that way and being like, you know, I know that there are girls who have looked at me and have been like, I want to look like Sassy Baby and maybe change some things. And like, acknowledging that is a pretty big step in my opinion. And you know, it is true. People have, have looked At Kylie and Stassi, baby and father Kelson, those group of girls and have been like, oh, I want to.
Rhea
How do I look like that? And it's like, you get. It's just. It's impossible. You have to have the very expensive surgeon. And she's always kind of very expensive. She's alluded to it before was, you know what she joked, like, when she was on Call her daddy, she said she had, you know, moved things around.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
Which was pretty much confirmation right there. But, yes, to fully hear the words, you know, I got the bbl right. Like, yes, clearly.
Fran
I mean, sitting on a BBL can't be comfortable.
Rhea
I think there's a lot of things.
Fran
Because after you get it done, you can't sit on it. I'm saying, like, so after you get the BBL done, trying to sit on it and navigate, it can't be comfortable.
Rhea
I mean, I think there's a lot of things you probably don't realize that you. That you do in life. Having an ass with that thing, that having an ass like that is not convenient.
Noah
But, like, do you just have to squat for a while?
Fran
But I think having a natural ass like that is fine. I think it probably hurts because obviously people have natural asses like that surgery. But when you get full surgery on your ass, it probably.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Hurts. Like when people get their boobs done and they knock into things and they're like, ah, you know, I don't know.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
I don't know.
Rhea
Maybe they have to sit on one of those, like, tube things. When the people who, like, break their. When you break your, like, tailbone and they have to, like, sit in those tubes because they can't sit.
Fran
And how do they fly home?
Rhea
So true.
Fran
You know what I mean?
Rhea
Surgeons got to come to them, right?
Fran
How people flying home. Yeah. From getting their bbls done without complications.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
It can't be comfortable. It just can't be.
Rhea
Noah's trying to get all of this next to him so badly.
Fran
She doesn't want to.
Rhea
No, she's a girl's girl. Sorry. No, she's. She would. That's a tight corner back there.
Noah
This is soft. If she sat on.
Rhea
Yeah, she does. If she felt it, she'd want to like it.
Fran
Yeah, let her feel it out over there. Oh, she's thinking about it now.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Number one video editor gave me that shout out. That's very nice.
Rhea
Now we're all looking at her.
Fran
Yeah, we got distracted. Anyways, last topic. Harry Styles is always, you know, interacting with people on the street. Randomly. And the stories always circle back. And he took a picture of this couple, very cute couple, and told them he would DM it to them.
Rhea
Yep. Because it was like on a. On like his film camera.
Fran
And he did promises. Promises were kept. H, I love how he signs things. H, that's so classy. Xx yeah.
Noah
Wasn't it, like, months after, too?
Rhea
Yeah, I think it was like a.
Noah
Couple months went by.
Rhea
It was definitely enough. I mean, he had to get the film developed.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
Right. It's not a super quick process, thinking that.
Fran
He wrote their Instagram handle down, saved it in his notes app to remind himself that when he got the film developed, he'd have to go back and do that. Like, and then you wake up and you have a DM from Harry Styles.
Rhea
There's been such good content from him recently of just, like, random things of, like, him, the Pope, him going to see the new Pope. But this story, really, I loved. I talked to you about this. It was not on the podcast, but a girl also went viral on TikTok, talking about how she sat next to him at a restaurant in Rome and he was like, so nice. And she was freaking out because, like, when she went up to, like, talk to him and then when he left the restaurant, he, like, went out of his way to say goodbye and she was just like, so nice. So nice. But then she took his napkin and drank his water.
Fran
Yeah. Which is. Just took the cup, took the napkin, the fork.
Rhea
Objectively, very funny. It was quite. She like, held it up. It was just a plain white, like, cloth napkin.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
That was in Italy.
Rhea
Yeah, it was in Rome.
Noah
He's just living there, like, full time, you know?
Rhea
Well, he spends a lot of time there. Yeah, for sure.
Fran
I'm.
Rhea
I assume he's working on music.
Fran
Wasn't that reported that he was working on something?
Rhea
I thought so. And people were talking about this next. This year, like, being a time for maybe some new music. But what a thoughtful guy. I mean, writing it down, sending it the. The. The scream, the heart attack, really. I think in my heart, I think I literally have heart palpitations that if I opened Instagram and it's just said Harry's like, it was open message from Harry Styles. One. It being a photo.
Fran
Yeah. You say, send photo. My God, send photo.
Rhea
He's sending me a photo.
Noah
Right?
Fran
What, of me?
Rhea
Right.
Fran
Your mind. You're like, what could this be?
Rhea
You're thinking of all possibilities. All possibilities.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And then it's just like, was this an accident? I forgot. He took a picture of Me and my boyfriend, right?
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Oh, right. You open up as a picture of myself and then you're also thinking, oh, my God, Harry Styles literally went and got this picture of me developed.
Fran
Mm. And they looked so happy, the couple.
Rhea
It was a great photo.
Fran
Cuz probably they're like fucking Harry's behind the camera and they're like, this is insane. Ah, so cute.
Noah
I wonder how often he gets recognized and just in Italy, walking around.
Rhea
Oh, it has to be all the time. But that's like kind of his thing is he is very sweet and everyone always says that. And the girl on the TikTok said it too, is like, they know that you can go and say hi to him and he'll, you know, be sweet and chat and everyone does try and ask him for a picture and he's. He's always like, oh, do you mind if we. If we don't. And everyone. Oh, of course, Course, of course.
Noah
Can that be on my 30? Before 30, run into Harry on the streets of Italy and just send me to Italy. I'll walk around.
Fran
Well, that's just like, you know, that's.
Rhea
Find Harry Styles.
Fran
We don't know if you can do that, but we can.
Noah
You know, that would be really hard to check.
Fran
It would be very hard. And, you know, we want you to complete the list. We do.
Rhea
Oh, man.
Fran
All right.
Rhea
But no, really, like, that's such a. Such a good. Such a good one. I'd get a whole shrine. Whole shrine, right. Like the picture. You got to frame the DM with it. Yeah. Every element of it.
Fran
All of it. Hang it in your home.
Rhea
What a guy. What a guy.
Fran
What a.
Rhea
What a guy.
Fran

D
Hi, Rhea, Fran, and Noah. My name is Taylor. I'm calling from San Diego. I can't wait for you guys to all move here. My long standing question is Corey Gamble. Why is he still around? How is he still around? I never understood it. Kris Jenner can do so much better than Corey Gamble. The kids don't like Corey Gamble. He's like, their age.
Rhea
He's weird.
D
Like, what is it with him? What does he know? I just. I never understood it. I feel like all of the Kardashian Jenner girls pick cheap. Like, cheap men. Like, they are worth so much more.
Rhea
Than the men that they call them cheap, associate with.
Fran
I don't really know much about.
D
I just don't understand. They need to pick better people to be with. But Corey Gavel, I never understood it.
Noah
Yeah.
D
He's got to know something. Love you.
Rhea
Love. I love all of you. Love your show.
D
Thank you so much.
Rhea
He's got to know something. I mean, I think he probably does. For sure, he probably does.
Fran
But I feel like.
Rhea
I feel like he's always treated Chris really well.
Fran
That's what I'm saying.
Rhea
Like, when, at least from what we've.
Fran
Seen, like, saying that she can do better than Corey, it's like, well, we don't know how he treats Chris.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I mean, like, maybe he treats Chris.
Noah
I was thinking that scene. Got it.
Rhea
Yeah. And I feel like the girls have come around to him. Like, I know there was some tension at the beginning, but I feel like he really is just always around and that's like, kind of like he knows his role, which is, I think, why Chris likes him and the question of.
Fran
A little submissive, why he's still around. It's like, well, because he's with. He's dating Chris.
Rhea
Yeah. You know, like, I think, like, at this point, he's. He just. He takes on whatever role Chris wants him to take on. By the way, talk, talking about getting work done, whatever. Whatever Chris has done recently. Just go into Lindsay Lohan's face person or something.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
She looks 20 years younger.
Fran
Yes.
Rhea
See her walking around.
Fran
Walking around France and her hair is different.
Rhea
I was blown away. She did. She did something.
Fran
For sure.
Rhea
Something.
Fran
No, for sure. Definitely.
Rhea
I was like, okay, we're. I don't know. She's like, whoop.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Everything's been.
Fran
Everything got pushed back. Yes, Yes. I agree. I don't know. I don't have a strong opinion on this Corey Gamble thing, because I feel like I don't either.
Rhea
I feel like he's finagled his way in to be like, he's just in now.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And I feel like you're in, you're in.
Fran
I feel like we don't know much about him to just like, start saying, like, he's bad for Chris.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Chris.
Rhea
Yes.
Fran
To like him.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
You know.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
I know that there was a couple of weird fights that we witnessed on the Kardashians with him and Scott maybe.
Rhea
Or I do think he's like. I do think he loves the fame and the opportunity and the spotlight, but he can also love those things. And I mean, so I think so does Chris, you know, like, it's Chris, you know? So, yeah. When they're all on the same page about it, feel like it's fine. But I feel like if there's an event half the time, Corey is there, no matter what your basketball game. Cory's there a lot of times, Corey's with the girls. Chris. Chris is even there, you know, so he must be in with the group enough where they're all like, okay with it, you know?
Fran
Yeah, I agree with that.
D
Hi, Rhea and Fran and Noah, It's Armina from Buffalo. I have a quick thought, and I want your guys's opinion on this because I know you guys love the Traders. So I was just happening to just peruse through Kyle Cook's Instagram and on his bio it says hashtag, the Traders us. Now, in my mind, I'm thinking, obviously, Kyle can't be that stupid to have the Traders hashtag on his bio. But it got me thinking, would he be on the Traders? Somebody from Summer House Beyond?
Fran
Kyle was on the Traders. He was on the first.
Rhea
Literally on the first season.
Noah
Oh, he was.
Fran
Yeah. Kyle was on the first.
Noah
Let's just get this.
Fran
Well, no, keep it so she knows. Keep it so she knows that he was in the first season the Traders, before people jumped on the Traders bandwagon. Kyle, he was the first. He was on Traders.
Rhea
He was on season one.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
The Traders, Us.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
So that is why the hashtag is in his bio. I do think other people from Summer House could be on the Traders as well. But Kyle was the first one to do.
Fran
Yeah, he was.
Noah
How'd he do?
Fran
I didn't watch the first season. I just know that he was in the first season.
Rhea
He did pretty well. If I remember correctly. Kyle's got to be paid watch the.
Fran
First season that, like, things picked up for the Traders after the first season.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Well, so much so that she didn't even know.
Rhea
He probably takes credit for for why.
Fran
Yeah, that's true.
Rhea
You know that is true.
Fran
All right, moving on. Wow. I feel bad, but I also feel.
D
Noah, I love your podcast. My name's Abby. I'm from Maryland and my kind of pop culture hot take question is, what you guys think Taylor Swift is doing next? So obviously there's this big rumor about her coming to the AMA and possibly announcing something there. But I don't know what do you guys think? Do you think she's going to announce Reputation, Taylor's version. Taylor Swift, Taylor's version, a new album. Is she not going to show up? I don't know what to believe. My friends really seem to think that she's going to release debut before Reputation, but I'm not sure. I'm completely convinced and I don't even really know she's actually going to show up to the Amaze considering she's been kind of in hiding these last few months and seems like she might continue that for a while. So I just wanted to ask. Sorry, I just wanted to ask what you guys think. I love your podcast. Bye.
Rhea
Well, that was very sweet. Thank you.
Fran
Yes.
Rhea
I actually lean towards no announcement at the AMAs. Maybe she's there or I could also see her not going at all. But I do kind of think. I do kind of think Reputation and they but did just put out a song in Handmaid's Tale.
Fran
Yeah, I was just gonna read that she did debut a new snippet of look what made you look what you made me do is Taylor's version in the episode of Handmade Tale.
Noah
I did have people message me that that was already debuted in the Patriots documentary. That's that like same snippet. There's like this. Yeah like that this wasn't anything new. This has already been out.
Rhea
I don't know. Can't say. I watched the Patriots documentary to.
Noah
Yeah I thought that that was news when that happened.
Rhea
I mean people have been geeking out all over Tick Tock and all the Taylor Swift fans of that this was like a new debut in the Handmaid's Tale. So.
Fran
No, I did see something like that though as well. Yeah that someone that somewhere they said that there was a was the same used again.
Noah
As far as Reputation is concerned, the musician has only given out a few breadcrumbs so far. In March 2024, she shared a brief snippet of the revamped look what yout made me do in an episode of Apple TV's the Dynasty New England Patriots, just a few months after the track was featured in a teaser for Prime Video's Wilderness. So.
Rhea
So it's.
Noah
She's just been like.
Rhea
So it's been used a lot.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah. So it's been used multiple times now. So maybe the more it's used, the more she's hinting at that that's the next thing that's coming. Could be. Could very well be.
Noah
She's throwing you off.
Fran
Yeah. Always. Right. Doesn't want to be too obvious about it.
Rhea
That's also true.
Fran
Could be. Could be the case. I would lean towards Reputation, though, as just a guess.
Rhea
I. I think so, too, because it.
Fran
Would be kind of poetic to end with Choice debut, the last one.
Rhea
Yeah, I think so, too.
Fran
I'm.
Rhea
And I'm also just kind of rooting for it to be Reputation. Just personally.
Fran
Yeah, I agree with that.
Rhea
Like, me too, for the new songs.
Fran
Agreed. All right, moving on.
D
I, Rhea, Fran, Noah, and Olive, Most importantly Olive. I'm from Detroit, and my question is about when you go to the gym and you're in the locker room, are you changing just out in the open or are you going into a bathroom stall? Personally, I go into a bathroom stall, but most people, I feel like, just change out in the open. And I'm just curious for your take on it. And also, I guess, kind of the same question. If there's a sauna at your gym, are we going into the sauna but naked or are we wearing our gym clothes? Like, what's the deal? I haven't opened that door because I'm just too scared. Okay.
Rhea
Literally open the door. Yeah, literally open the door. I don't care about changing out in the open. I'm fine with that.
Fran
Yeah. I'm an out in the open changer. I show up already dressed.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
For the gym.
Rhea
I don't do too much at the gym. Locker room in general.
Fran
No. Because I just show up and leave in the same clothes.
Rhea
And I'm close. Like, I don't shower. Really.
Fran
Yeah, no, no. I go home to shower, but, like, there's.
Rhea
I have. I don't blink an eye when. And somebody else is doing it.
Fran
No, it's like. And we're very open about that.
Rhea
Like. Yeah.
Fran
In front of people and things. And some people aren't. And.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I respect that. Yeah. It is a person.
Rhea
That's why you have the choice. But, like, yeah, you're. If it's something. If. If, like, seeing other people Change then. Yeah. Maybe you're a little self conscious about it. Like in the sense of there are going to be other people changing. Probably.
Fran
But I don't think it's weird to go to the stall.
Rhea
No, not just.
Fran
It's there for a reason.
Rhea
Exactly.
Fran
It is an option really. Personal preference.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah. And for like the. So if I'm not going into saunas often, but if I was like in a towel, like I would get like, I would take everything off and go in and just use a towel and like use a towel. I'm not going in butt naked.
Fran
I have gone into saunas in my gym clothes.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
You know.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But once again, personal preference.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
But I'm not choosing to go in butt naked.
Rhea
No, no, no.
Fran
So it would either be a towel or my, my own gym.
Rhea
Right. I think there's something different about being in the sauna butt naked because you're like sitting in there and like relaxing and then like if you're just changing, it's a, it's a quick moment for sure. So sure. But yeah, I guess that that is possible too. Some people just want to feel it all.
Fran
They do.
Rhea
They don't want to have their clothes constricting them. In the song and I am, I'm.
Fran
No, I pass no judgment. However anybody wants to sit in thing. But really it's up to you and you shouldn't feel embarrassed or ashamed or weird about it whichever way you prefer. It's really your own thing.

D
Hey, Brian, Fran, this is Nicole from Seattle. Love the pod. Been listening for years.
Fran
Appreciate that.
D
Talking with my little sister yesterday in the car, and we were talking about the anticipation of the upcoming Love island season and how previously, Rob had been a bombshell, and then on this most recent season was on the main cast. And we were just wondering your takes on who you would like to see back on this coming season of Love island, whether it be bombshell being on the main cast or someone from the main cast coming back. I was saying I could see Nicole, Andrea, or potentially Daniella coming back, but do you guys have any thoughts of who you would like to see or maybe even who you don't want to see? Anyways, let us know. Have a great day, and we'll keep listening faithfully.
Fran
Thank you. I think, you know, they're bound to remember all their names. Yeah. They're bound to bring people back because they have done in previous seasons. I think with this cast specifically, they need to be a little careful because you don't want. They have big shoes to fill, and you kind of want them to have their own season, like.
Rhea
Agreed.
Fran
I am keeping my mind and my brain completely open to this new cast. I'm passing no judgment on them before watching the show and comparing them to the last cast. You got to just let them do their thing and be open to it. If somebody comes in, fine. If nobody comes in, great. Like, I am not like, oh, my God, I'm dying to.
Rhea
I'm actually. I'm anti. I really don't think they should do it at all. And I think that. I agree with you, like, they need this season to be its own season. I think it worked with Rob before because it just, like, wasn't really popping off the same way.
Fran
Nobody was dying over Rob the season before.
Rhea
Exactly.
Fran
It was, like, easy to bring.
Rhea
Exactly. Exactly. So I feel like at this point, it's like, they had it. They don't really need to, like, continue it. I think it could, like, muddy it a little bit if they. If they do bring in somebody else and then they start talking about the previous season too much.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
On the new season, because then they're.
Fran
Like, oh, that's Daniela from season six.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
And then it becomes, like, a bigger thing, which they do often. But I think because of the size of last season, they should probably avoid it.
Rhea
Exactly. I think that last season was so huge. I can only imagine that, like, casting. They probably got so many people wanting to go on this show that they have enough of a pool that they don't need to dip into the past season.
Fran
Let's keep it open. And now that we have out, you know, life outside the villa, it's like we don't need to bring back the cast of season six because we have a separate show coming with them.
Rhea
Yeah, exactly.
Fran
So it's like, we can keep it separate.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
All right, let's do one more.
D
Hi, Ran Fran. My name is Lisa. I'm a big fan. I've seen it going around that, like.
Fran
A lot of podcasts are writing books.
D
Like, I know Gilly Squad just wrote a book. I know lady gang wrote a book. So I was just wondering if you guys are ever interested in writing a book and what will your book be about? Love you guys. Bye.
Fran
Love you.
Rhea
Oh, God. Never say never.
Fran
Yeah, I wouldn't say never.
Rhea
Never say never.
Fran
But I would think it would be way later on where we can spill stories about guests and behind the scenes and a behind the scenes, funny barstool stories and things of that n. Where that would be. I think the angle. Because, like, I've mentioned this multiple times before. I used to keep a journal of everything of my days at barstool, and I lost that journal, which is very upsetting to me because I had some good stories in there from the early days. And I do remember them, though. So, you know, but obviously not every single day, but I remember the important ones and the big ones and the funny ones that happened. So for me personally, I think if we were to write a book, it would be like, more like behind the scenes type shit.
Rhea
Yeah, I don't really know. No, it's true. I actually don't really know what direction it would go in in the sense of, like, if it was a book by, like, the both of us. Like, it's kind of like we have sort of different stories to. So I'm not. I'm not sure. I don't remember that much stuff to be able to write.
Fran
I remember everything.
Rhea
To be honest, my tough. Like, I think I would do better writing, like, for, like, something from just, I don't know, like, the failing upward type scenario of, like, college and transitioning away from that, but even that is, like, I don't know, like a chapter or two. Yeah. Yeah. And. And I feel like it's too early.
Noah
Like, and it's just always unwritten.
Fran
No, I think it's too early. I think this would be way later on and A lot of like those.
Rhea
That'S different because it's more memoir style when like this. A lot of podcasts, like, the style of their books is more like funny laugh. They're, you know, their how to's and they are. Of course there are a lot of personal stories in them, but then it's just kind of like, like funny life things.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
As well.
Fran
And there's a lot of, like, advice books out there and stuff. And it's like you'd want it to be different than that. Like you don't want to regurgitate. Yeah, a lot of like, you know, those type things. I would lean more towards like a behind the scenes tell all years from now.
Rhea
Right, right, right.
Fran
Not necessarily in a bad way. Like, I'm not meaning bad. Like, I just mean, like.
Rhea
No, you're not like breaking any.
Fran
No contracts. No, not like that. Just like these, these are funny stories or experiences we've had with these celebrities or influencers or whatever that we know that aren't going to necessarily, you know.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
It's not going to hurt anybody. But they're funny, right?
Rhea
No.
Fran
You know, for sure. So. Yeah. But not now. It's too early. The rest is still unwritten. You know, it's too early. All right, that wraps up today's Popcorner.

Before delving into the main topics, Rhea and Fran share personal updates and light-hearted conversations.
The conversation kicks off with excitement around friend Joey Grassaday's upcoming 30th birthday. The Chicks discuss Joey's ambitious "30 before 30" list, highlighting his recent accomplishments, including running a half marathon set for Tuesday. Rhea muses, "So close," expressing anticipation for Joey's next milestone, Disneyland visit, as Fran adds, "That's a perfect last one to do."
Transitioning to personal care, Rhea and Fran debate the merits and challenges of getting second ear piercings. Fran contemplates getting additional piercings, while Rhea shares her reluctance due to uncomfortable past experiences. Fran suggests, "We should have Joey send in some bucket list items that maybe he wanted to put on his and he didn't," highlighting their collaborative spirit.
The hosts candidly discuss their struggles with migraines, especially around certain times of the month. Fran introduces a surprising remedy: "A McDonald's fry and a Coke really helps a ton," advocating for the combination of sugar and caffeine to alleviate migraine symptoms. Rhea shares her own experiences, noting how such remedies provide temporary relief.
Celebrating National Rescue Dog Day, Rhea gushes over her dog Olive, sharing heartfelt moments and playful antics. "She's chewing on a toy... she loves comfort," Rhea recounts fondly, while Fran adds, "It's Olive's day." The duo emphasizes the joy and companionship Olive brings to their lives.
A significant portion of the episode focuses on Hailey Bieber's acclaimed Vogue cover and the subsequent reaction from Justin Bieber, igniting a heated discussion between the hosts.
Fran praises Hailey's Vogue feature, describing it as a "beautiful article" that delves into her postpartum journey, birth story, and personal struggles with body dysmorphia. "Things don't always go as planned when it comes to, you know, birth and postpartum," Fran reflects, applauding Hailey for her openness and vulnerability.
Contrasting the positive narrative, Justin Bieber's recent Instagram caption about their fight sparks frustration. Fran laments, "Why did he have to go and make this about him diminishing her light?" Rhea echoes this sentiment, stating, "He ruined the whole thing."
The Chicks delve into Justin's behavior, criticizing his decision to undermine Hailey's achievement publicly. Fran emphasizes, "It's not funny enough. That's just straight up really mean," while Rhea adds, "And it takes away from all the nice things he said in the article." The discussion highlights the discord between the public portrayal of their relationship and private struggles.
Shifting gears, Rhea and Fran address surprising rumors about Bill Belichick's potential engagement to Jordon Hudson.
The Chicks explore reports from The New York Times suggesting Jordon Hudson has shared her engagement to Bill Belichick with one person, sparking widespread speculation. They question the credibility of these claims, noting, "She allegedly told at least one person that she is engaged."
Fran expresses skepticism about the legitimacy of the rumors, stating, "It's totally possible that she's planting that one herself." Rhea adds, "It's really, really bizarre. She has been quite a roller coaster ride." The hosts dissect the conflicting information and the lack of official confirmations, pondering the motives behind such disclosures.
While Fran humorously speculates, "Is she gonna lock him up and steal his money?" Rhea remains doubtful, emphasizing the need for concrete evidence before accepting the rumors as fact. The discussion underscores the challenges of navigating celebrity news amidst unverified reports.
Harry Styles' reputation for kindness surfaces as Rhea and Fran share heartwarming stories of his interactions with fans.
Fran recounts a charming anecdote where Harry took a photograph of a cute couple and promised to DM it to them after getting the film developed. Rhea exclaims, "He's sending me a photo," illustrating the excitement and surprise of receiving a personal message from the star.
The Chicks highlight another TikTok story where Harry interacted graciously with a fan couple in Rome, going out of his way to say goodbye and engaging warmly despite his busy schedule. Fran summarizes, "He was always like, oh, do you mind if we," showcasing Harry's genuine connection with his admirers.
Engaging with their audience, Rhea and Fran respond to various listener voicemails, offering their insights on diverse pop culture topics.
Listener Taylor from San Diego questions Corey Gamble's continued presence within the Kardashian-Jenner group. Rhea and Fran discuss his role, with Rhea noting, "He takes on whatever role Chris wants him to take on." They deliberate whether his association benefits the group dynamics, ultimately suggesting that his integration is purposeful and possibly balanced.
Abby from Maryland speculates about Taylor Swift's potential appearances and album releases. Fran leans towards the anticipation that "Reputation" or "Reputation, Taylor's Version" might be on the horizon, while Rhea acknowledges the teasers already present in media snippets, indicating a likely continuation of Taylor's musical evolution.
Nicole from Seattle inquires about future casting for Love Island, expressing interest in seeing returning cast members like Nicole, Andrea, or Daniella. Rhea and Fran advocate for letting the new season develop organically, emphasizing the importance of fresh faces to maintain the show's dynamic energy.
Listener Nicole from Detroit wonders if the hosts plan to author a book detailing behind-the-scenes stories and celebrity interactions. Rhea and Fran express openness to the idea in the future but agree it’s too early, highlighting the potential for engaging memoirs once they accumulate more experiences and anecdotes.
The hosts touch upon Sassy Baby's (Stassi's) revelations about her Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery, discussing the broader implications for body image and societal pressures.
Fran remarks, "She regrets it now, has had complications and she's gonna go through another surgery," emphasizing the importance of open conversations about cosmetic procedures.
