What's up, everyone? It's Chicks in the office with Rhea and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Wednesday. We're recording this on April Fool's Day. And let me just say, if you're listening to this on Wednesday and you got got yesterday, it happens.
Rhea
Yeah, it does.
Fran
It happens. All right. I told myself all weekend long, don't get got. Don't do it. I'm falling for things on social media left and right today. Okay, I can't stop. I literally told myself before I went to bed and when I woke up this morning, don't get got. Well, the worst. Don't fall for it. And I've been falling for it.
Rhea
Yeah, the worst is that then there are real things that happen and news that happens. But you're like, is this you question everything? Like, I just found myself questioning that ESPN posted a new rule for the NFL for regular season overtimes. And it's not like a crazy rule that they'd be like, ah, the NFL changed. You know, they're, they're all, they'll have to, like, hold hands when they kick for the. Like, it's not something it makes sense. But, like, still, all the comments are like, wait, is this real or April Fools?
Fran
It's hard. Like, there should be no news on April Fool's Day. I saw something about one of my favorite restaurants in London, Deschume, opening up in New York City in 2026.
Rhea
Is that fake?
Fran
No, it's not. So that's another thing is that I thought maybe that was fake. It's actually not fake. You're thinking about opening up, and it wasn't. Like, if it was like, we are opening. Like, it was like, no, we're thinking about opening up. Like, it's genuine article about it. So it's real. And. But yet this excitement. But I'm.
Rhea
There's just so many things that are plausible. You know what I hate?
Fran
The fake breakup. Enough of the fake breakups on April Fools. Stop doing it to me. Because I'm sending it to my friends saying, oh, my God, they broke up. And then getting to the last slide after sending it.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And going, no, they didn't. Never mind.
Rhea
Well, you did it. You did it to me.
Noah
I know.
Fran
I know. I did. I. I even yelled at myself when I woke up not to fall for this, and I'm falling all over the place. I'm stumbling over every April Fool's joke that can find me.
Rhea
Well, you just. You're so worried about what you see online, and then you forget about real life, too. You know, it's just. It's just a tough day.
Fran
It is a tough day. It's like, don't even speak to me today. Don't even look in my direction. Okay? Keep your jokes and your fun to yourself.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
So.
Rhea
Well, sometimes they just. You just see. You get so disappointed.
Fran
Mm. I will say a good April Fool's joke, though.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
You can appreciate, like, if it's, like, really harmless and it's good, I will laugh. I will laugh. A prank. I'll laugh. But otherwise, you know, the bullshit, you know, cut me out of that.
Rhea
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
Fran
I saw they posted Hannah and Paige are gonna go on the Tonight show and Jimmy Fallon.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
It's real.
Rhea
That's real.
Fran
Yes. It's not Faber Fools. I don't think that in my head. I.
Rhea
That's what I'm saying. This. You can't announce that on.
Fran
Why wouldn't they announce it tomorrow or yesterday? Why today?
Rhea
Right, Right.
Fran
But Hannah has been on Jimmy Fallon before, so I'm like, this has to Be real. They got their book coming out very soon. It's got to be surrounding the book. It makes sense to me. That would be a cruel April Fool's joke.
Rhea
I don't know. I think it might be.
Fran
It's an April Fool's joke. No, I think it's real.
Rhea
I don't know.
Fran
Hannah posted on her story and was like, it's not a joke.
Rhea
Oh, oh, oh. I'm getting mixed. Mixed reviews.
Unknown
I don't know, like, what the joke would be.
Fran
That would be.
Rhea
No, that's what I'm saying. It's like, it's too cool to joke about.
Fran
And they all collabed. I don't see Paige collabing.
Rhea
Right, Right.
Fran
On a April Fool's joke.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
Collab post.
Rhea
I just, like, would have posted this tomorrow.
Fran
Same. I would, too.
Rhea
I was thinking about us, because now it's like, imagine like, people are like. Because I had the same thought. I was like, oh, my God, that's so sick. And then I was like, wait a second. Is April Fool April Fools? But it's. I don't. You're right.
Fran
I was. I had an idea for us to post that I was cast in the last season of Outer Banks, but then I thought no one would ever buy that into that. Because Chase Stokes hates us.
Rhea
No, they totally would.
Fran
So I don't think. Yeah, I don't. I don't think people would have bought into it.
Rhea
I think they would have.
Fran
Yeah. It's too late now.
Rhea
I think that. Yeah, it is too late.
Fran
It's too late now. You know, the moment has passed. It's too late. But the. The jokes are crazy, so if you got got. Don't worry. I did, too.
Rhea
Well, we. Oh, wait. Does it. What did it say? What date did it say?
Fran
Thursday, April 10th.
Rhea
April 10th.
Fran
Oh, it's not tonight.
Rhea
Do they even announce their guests that far in advance?
Fran
I don't know.
Rhea
I can only see.
Unknown
I would bet my life that this is real.
Fran
Yeah, I think it's real.
Unknown
I also just saw that Dave said that he was asked to go on Fallon but couldn't do it because of my conflict. So I feel like it's not crazy.
Fran
No, I. Hannah's been on before.
Unknown
It's not a big deal, though.
Fran
Nikki Glazer was just a huge deal. It's super cool. But I think people were like, wait, is this some sort of.
Rhea
You know, I want to believe this is true because April Fool's Day seems so off brand for Giggly squad. Yeah. That it's honestly very tr.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. It's just one of those days. Just one of those days.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
How are we feeling otherwise, gang? Besides April fool's Day.
Rhea
Good. Pretty good. Fine.
Fran
Okay. It's going lesser and lesser.
Rhea
Traveling.
Fran
It's getting lesser and lesser as you keep talking.
Rhea
Travel anxiety. For some reason, I feel you about like traveling this week.
Fran
I feel you.
Rhea
Really? No reason, but I just feel like unprepared for like things that we are.
Fran
Doing same and I feel wildly unprepared. We're doing a whole photo shoot on Thursday and I don't think I have an outfit for it.
Rhea
No. Nope, I don't. Me neither.
Fran
So you have to dig. Gonna have to dig it up and do something.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
We'll figure it out. We always do.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
I finished Daisy Jones in the six last night. I don't feel like waiting until Monday to talk about it. I'm not gonna lie. Cause I just finished it last night. Here's the thing. I love rock and roll. I love anything about rock and roll. I love learning about you. I just have to get that out there. This show was perfect for me. Felt like it was made for me. And I can't believe it took me this long to watch. Although I'm glad I finally watched it. The ending. I thought I knew what happened. I didn't. So the ending kind of got me. Did Daisy and Billy end up together? Is that what that ending is? Or is it more just like they're gonna like meet up again and write some music again? Or do they end up together? Is it kind of just like a let your mind wander?
Rhea
Yeah. I always felt it as it being a very open ended thing.
Fran
I didn't want them to be together.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
So when he showed up at her door, like people were saying to me, like, oh my God, you're gonna be bawling your eyes out at the very last second. Like, da da da da. I was like, you know, I wasn't rooting for them to be together really at any point during the show or anything.
Rhea
I thought a lot of people.
Fran
No, I know people were rooting for them. I'm giving my opinion. I was not rooting for them to be together actually at all.
Rhea
Yeah. I'm trying to remember if the book. And here's my problem is like I forget things so easily. Especially with books too. Like a book will be in my mind for two weeks after that. I basically have to reread the whole thing. Like, it's like I couldn't. I can't remember if the book and the show have different endings. Different endings.
Fran
Well, in the show, Camilla says, who. She was fantastic.
Rhea
Yeah, she was really good.
Fran
Wow. She was really good in this show.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
I said it on Monday, but I thought she just had a small little part. It was no small role. That was a big role. And she was really good. And she says, you know, tell your dad, because Julia is, you know, the one filming this documentary. She's like, tell your dad to call Daisy and tell Daisy to answer.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
And then it's Billy showing up the door and Daisy answering the door. And it is. It is the same, you know, And I guess you leave it up to your imagination as to what happens. Do they just begin writing again? Do they fall in love?
Rhea
But, yeah, I think it's kind. Yeah.
Fran
Watching the show, I didn't like. I wasn't like, oh, my God, Billy and Daisy need to be together. That's not how I felt while watching it.
Rhea
That's fair, you know, it's very fair.
Fran
It makes for the TV show, obviously, the oh, my God, like, is this gonna happen? Type of thing. But I just really don't like Billy. So I.
Rhea
So that was. That was. That'll do it.
Fran
That was part of it.
Rhea
That'll do it.
Fran
And maybe I would feel differently reading the book. Yeah, I think I probably would. But watching the show, that's how I felt. But great show. A. Overall, I know I'm an early grading here, but, yeah, a show. And I wish there was more. I wish there was more, you know, another book, another season, but there's not. So I'll have to deal with that.
Rhea
Yeah. It's just sadly, and there was rumors that they were, like, gonna do a tour that just didn't happen.
Fran
That would. Oh, my God. I'd still be there. The soundtrack is.
Rhea
You might have missed it.
Fran
The soundtrack is so good. I know. I might have missed it.
Rhea
The tour might have come and gone already by the time.
Fran
But now, if they do it, if they pick.
Rhea
They won't. They said, I don't think they'll ever do it.
Fran
Oh, damn. Well, then I went down a whole rabbit hole of filming and how they were supposed to film during COVID They got shut down one week before production. Then they had to pick it back up in, you know, 2022. Came out 2023. I was like, oh, my gosh.
Rhea
I know. I don't know if it was, like, a scheduling thing or what, but, like, there was rampant rumors of some sort of tour when the show ended. And then it just. It just died. And then the cast Was like, it doesn't seem like it's happening.
Fran
Baby, baby, baby.
Rhea
Yeah. Which would have been.
Fran
Yeah, that's some good music.
Rhea
Oh. Yep.
Fran
And then I went down a whole rabbit hole of reading so much about Fleetwood.
Rhea
Fleetwood Mac. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Which I thought I knew. But then you think, you know, until you do more of a deep dive. So much, learn so much more.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Miniskirts are having a major moment at Jonas Con. I wore the scarlet skort from Abercrombie. Absolutely loved it. And the A and F scarlet skirt is their best seller. It's the classic silhouette and it goes with any top and any plan. So you could dress it down, you could dress it up, you could wear with sneakers. You wear it with boots. Really, anything you want. The new A and F Sienna score is flirty and feminine and has main character and a rom com energy which we are all trying to channel. Maybe you're prepping for summer trips. You could check out the new textured pieces from Abercrombie. Also, lots of dresses. I just ordered a ton of cute dresses for the summer from Abercrombie that I cannot wait to get and they are beach vacation ready. And right now I'm actually wearing the YPB active wear line from Abercrombie. I love these leggings. This sports bra I'm wearing, so comfort, I feel, you know, the sports bra has great support. The leggings, super comfortable, flexible. It's great. I love their YPB activewear. Love it. You could try it all. They have so many different colors, sports bras, tanks, whatever you wanna try. And they have new pieces dropping on Abercrombie every single week. So head out in Abercrombie and shop their newest rivals online in store in the app. So I'm in my wanting to start a girl band phase again that I went through in seventh grade for one weekend.
Rhea
That's the best.
Fran
You know, when I watched Runaways for the first time with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, I was like, duh. I'm starting an all girl band, obviously.
Rhea
Like old Josie and the Pussycats.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. Or the Runaways.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
And I was like, duh. And that lasted for like a weekend. I realized I had no talent whatsoever. I'm, you know, not musical. I have no singing voice, no capability, no instrumental value, none of that. So you could have.
Rhea
Did you ever try to play it?
Fran
I asked my parents, they said no. Oh. They didn't let me play an instrument. Which is odd because usually parents try to.
Rhea
They're like, okay, yeah, Their kids. Here's a violin. Give it a.
Fran
Instruments and.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Do those things. I was told, no.
Rhea
Damn.
Fran
No instruments.
Rhea
Damn.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
They said, we. We don't see that for you.
Fran
Yeah. They're like, listen, honey, you're either gonna be a failed child actress and model or nothing, you know?
Rhea
Damn.
Fran
That's it. I mean, I did sports, but, you know, softball and cheerleading. One time, though, I wanted to play soccer. Got shut down. No soccer.
Rhea
A lot of running.
Fran
Yeah. They were like, we don't. I think they saw me for who I was.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And they were like, you don't actually want to play soccer. Like, I probably watched a movie, Right. And I probably. This is where the acting. Yeah, this is where the acting thing came in, though. I probably watched, like, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Rhea
Right. And saw her dribbling that soccer ball down the beach.
Fran
Saw some soccer.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And was like, oh, I want to play soccer. And they were like, no, you don't. You want to be an actor. You want to act like you're playing soccer. You don't actually want to play soccer.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
My friend, though, played. Was one of those big ones. Not a trumpet, maybe. It was a saxophone.
Rhea
Saxophone.
Fran
I think it was a saxophone.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And I was like, come on. Like, let me get an instrument. We can be in the band together. All I got was a dinky little recorder.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Which is.
Fran
Everyone had. Everyone had to play the recorder.
Rhea
I was in chorus, Third grade recorder. That was a rite of passage.
Fran
I was in chorus, though, for a little bit. Willingly. I was allowed to be in chorus. I think that my parents, if I could take a guess, didn't want the instruments in the home.
Rhea
If I had that. Yeah.
Fran
They were probably like, we ain't listening to her trying to play the saxophone in here.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
Youngest child.
Rhea
We're done. We're not giving her a clarinet.
Fran
Like, not happening. We. We are almost done parenting at this point.
Rhea
Did your. Did your siblings ever try instruments?
Fran
Oh, they did everything.
Rhea
Probably why.
Fran
My brother had a guitar. My brother had piano. That's why My brother was musical.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He probably gave up everything. And then your parents were like, we're not even doing.
Fran
My sister played every sport. She played everything.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Once they got to me, they said, we're about done parenting. You get one thing, kid.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And we're running with that.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
And that's it.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
So that's. That's what they did. We really honed in on the.
Rhea
You know, my mom still, when we, like, walk by piano, she looks at Me. She looks at piano. She's like, you think you could just, you know, tickle the keys? You just sit down, play a little something like, mom, no. Like, I, I, it's, it's not gone. Yeah, but it's not there. Like, you could pay.
Fran
Maybe it would come to you. The red. That was.
Rhea
No, it, it would. And she's literally as. She's like, how long do you think you have to sit down for? I'd be like, I don't know, a few hours. Like, a couple. It'll come back for sure. I took piano lessons from, like, second grade to high school. Like, it's a lot.
Fran
That's first kid. Yeah, that's first kids.
Rhea
It totally is. And my mom's like. She's like, don't you. If you just stuck with it. Every time. Every time we see, like, a piano player. Yeah. So somebody's some cool chicks playing the keys somewhere. She's like, ah, you could have been.
Fran
A modern day Stevie Wonder.
Rhea
Could have been you. Could have been you. The keyboardist in Mount Joy is this girl Jackie. She's so cool. And every time my mom's like, look at her. I'm like, yeah, wow.
Fran
Like Karen in Daisy Jones and the six.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah. Suki Waterhouse.
Fran
She's tickling those keys.
Rhea
She sure is.
Fran
It could have been you.
Rhea
She sure is. Thought I had. I got a good stretch.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
My hands.
Fran
I got a good long fingers. Able to do that.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Hey, maybe you'll pick it back up in your older age.
Rhea
Definitely. It's definitely a hobby.
Fran
Keep your fingers going. Make sure you don't get carpal tunnel. Let it go, you know? You know, stretch them out.
Rhea
Let it fly.
Fran
No. Did you ever play any instruments?
Unknown
Oh, yeah, I did. Well, first I was like, I had to play trumpet. In elementary school, when you had to play an instrument, you had to.
Rhea
Yeah.
Unknown
Oh, it was. Oh, my God, I forgot about this. This is such, like, a sad thing. I really want to play drums. And you. For the drums was the only instrument that you had to, like, audition for. So, like, I went into this room with whoever the teacher was. Like, it was just me. They did it, like, one by one. And she was just like, can you hold, like, it was like, whatever. Like, hold a beat or, like, do a beat with your hands or. So whatever I did. And then after I did it, she goes, noah, you're okay. If you don't, like, get it right. If you don't. If you're not gonna play drums, like, you're okay. It's like Yeah, I guess I really wanted to. And obviously when she said that, I knew that I wasn't gonna get it. So then I had to play trumpet. And trumpet.
Fran
So you were just offbeat your beat.
Unknown
Which I think now, like, I would love, like, a second try at that. Maybe if I could go back to elementary school. And then the trumpet. I remember the teacher was, like, really mean. And there were, like, kids crying during trumpet class. I don't know how long I lasted. Not that long. And then in middle school, I was like, in course. But I took guitar lessons for a long time.
Rhea
Yeah, so did my brother.
Fran
I could see you as a guitar.
Unknown
Guy, but back then, I wasn't into it. Like, now I, like, appreciate the art. Real guitars.
Rhea
We have a guitar in our apartment that does not. It's Joe's guitar.
Fran
It always happens, though, when you look back when you were younger and you, like, thought you were not too cool for something, but you weren't so interested, and you're like, damn, I wish I just, like, was a little bit more interested at that time. I really probably could have made something.
Unknown
They give me homework, like, every week, and then the following week we'd practice. You'd be like, you didn't do anything. Yeah, I'd be dreading it.
Rhea
And then instrument homework was always.
Unknown
I had to be in a. I wouldn't know.
Fran
I can't relate.
Unknown
I was in a band. Like, a band like the school. Middle school. And I. I don't know if I've ever said this publicly, but, like, playing the guitar. Playing the. Playing the guitar. But little did they know I wasn't playing the guitar. I like. We'd have these gigs where they'd, like, have the whole middle school class and we'd be the band. I would turn my volume all the way off on my guitar and just air. Like, the guy had to know the. The leader. Like the teacher who is in charge of the man.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Because there's no guitar in the song.
Unknown
There might have been another guitar player who knew what he was doing, but I remember there was one, because that's.
Rhea
Drastically noticeable when there's no sound coming from the guitar. There must have been other guitars in my head, though.
Unknown
I was like, I'm playing this off. Like, no one knows. And then there was one practice where the teacher was like, no, I'm thinking we do a guitar solo for you on the song. And I was like, I'm good. I don't think we need to do that.
Rhea
Nah, I don't really feel like it.
Unknown
Yeah.
Fran
How do people in the middle school act towards the band? Were they like, oh, my God, you guys are in the band?
Unknown
Definitely not. I don't think anyone cares.
Fran
Did you guys have talent shows?
Rhea
Yeah, we did. I did multiple years. One year, maybe the piano. One year, me and my friends did a dance.
Fran
Yeah, same.
Rhea
To Free. One of the songs from Freaky Friday.
Fran
Oh, wow. That's.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
One of our, I think, ultimate.
Rhea
We did. Yeah. Claire actually texted me the other day. I was crying, laughing, because she was like. She was like. I was trying to explain to my friends about how in elementary school, I mean, our. Our school was kindergarten, eighth grade, and we stayed kindergarten, eighth grade, that you. You could have these passes because it was Catholic school, we all were in a uniform. You had these passes that were called nut cards.
Fran
Oh, yeah, yeah, we had those too.
Rhea
You had those two?
Fran
Yes.
Rhea
And it was crying. Claire was like, all my friends are dying. Laughing, being like, oh, my God. Nobody, like, made a joke about the nut cards. And we were like, no.
Fran
No.
Rhea
Literally, no. I don't know if it was just, like. It was just not a joke.
Fran
No uniform today.
Rhea
No kids didn't know about that joke or, like, if it wasn't, like, a thing.
Fran
Kids, I don't think you can see that as a kid.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Just no uniform today.
Rhea
There's a no uniform today card.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And you just had your nut card that was sick. And they were, like, getting a nut card.
Fran
Winning a nut card was fucking sick.
Rhea
Yeah. And deciding what day you were gonna use the nut card.
Fran
You were gonna pop off when you.
Rhea
Yeah. And I can't believe they called them nut cards.
Fran
Crazy. Yeah. I never even put two and two together.
Rhea
I never thought about it either until she texted me. I was like, oh, my God.
Fran
Listen, as a little kid, I'm glad I didn't think of it like that.
Rhea
No, I know, but even, like, in middle school. No, like, Claire. Me and Claire were trying to decide if some of the boys in middle school, like, made it a joke. And we just were, like, naive little girls that, like, didn't know. Like, didn't pick up on it.
Fran
I don't remember.
Rhea
You may have to ask them.
Fran
I don't remember any boys using the word nut, like, as a.
Rhea
As a. I feel like it's like. I feel like it's a younger kid now thing.
Fran
I don't know. Like, I don't remember anyone ever had to buy nutted. Like, never.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Never. Was that, like, a joke that was, like, being said out loud or anything? Yeah, maybe not around Us saying where.
Rhea
The boys laughing about it and we didn't know.
Fran
Yeah, maybe. Yeah, maybe they were.
Rhea
I know.
Fran
Yo, I'm gonna nut today.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I don't know. That's making me uncomfortable thinking about that.
Rhea
Yeah. It was really like you'd hand your nutcard to the teacher.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And then you'd get to be in normal clothes for the day. Which honestly you were so excited about. But realistically not that cool. Cause everyone else is in their uniform and you're just like in your outfit.
Fran
It drew a lot of attention.
Rhea
Yeah, it did.
Fran
You know it did. And you kind of had to pop off. I went through a phase.
Rhea
Or when you got a. Did you guys have sneaker passes? We also, we had sneaker passes too. Where it was like on days then you could wear your sneakers with your uniform.
Fran
No, no, we didn't get those. Loafers only.
Rhea
Yeah. Hey, chicks in the office. Listeners, I know you have heard us talk about Roback before and we are loving everything that Roback is putting out. As much as we all want spring to be here, it's. It's up and down in New York. It really is. One day it's hot, one day it's cold, the wind's blowing and you're freezing, and then the next second the sun's out and you're hot. So you want stuff that can really help you in that transitional period. Roback has you covered. Their tempo set is the perfect transitional outfit between seasons. In the cold weather times, you can layer it under your big jacket and then the spray, you can wear it over your workout sets.

Fran
I went through a phase where every dress down day I wore the same outfit.
Rhea
Interesting.
Fran
Yeah. Like I was like, this is my fucking nutcard day outfit.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You basically made a uniform for the dress down day.
Fran
I did, I did. Openly. I'm getting like uncomfortable.
Rhea
Which is interesting because there's not that many dress down days. So it's like you.
Fran
One was, you know, I had two. One was a free people shirt that I stole from my sister. Yeah, it was really pretty. It was like white, like kind of lacy, but you know, a tank top underneath sort of thing. And then the other one was a T shirt I made that said Italia on it.
Rhea
Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
That one hit the rotation a couple.
Rhea
Nice.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
I didn't ever come.
Fran
Just in case everybody wanted to know.
Rhea
You were in seventh grade.
Fran
I'm fucking Italian. Just in case you forgot. I told everybody. I made sure everybody knew I had.
Rhea
Abercrombie brown shirt that I wore all the time that has said like, I can't remember exactly what it said, but it was something along the lines of brunettes, you know, it was always like, blondes have more fun. But it was something about like just brunettes like being better. It was just like this brown T shirt.
Fran
Classic. The Abercrombie.
Rhea
A lot of Delia's T shirts.
Fran
Yeah. The classic Abercrombie brown leggings with the denim skirt and a little T shirt on top. That went hard.
Rhea
Yep. Yep.
Fran
When you went up to the. In math class, up to the board to write your answer.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And you were rocking one of those fits.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
It was a good day.
Rhea
Yeah. That it was. That it was. But yeah, I really had a good laugh thinking about how they're. And I was like, do they still call them nutcarts, you think?
Fran
I. I don't know. We'll have to inquire.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Somebody out there knows.
Rhea
Yeah. If you're kid. Yeah. Your kid has gone to Catholic school recently.
Fran
Well, because you would think the adults would have named it something different right at the time. I mean.
Rhea
Yeah. They knew no uniform today.
Fran
They knew what nut meant.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
They could have just called DDD but then you got the Triple D. Yeah. Hey, Diners Drive isn't dive, so, you know.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
Keep it clean. Keep it clean. All right, well, time to get into the topics.
Rhea
It's a trip down memory lane.
Fran
It is. It is a trip down memory lane and a trip down the things I didn't get to do as a kid.
Rhea
Yeah. You know, it's never too late for you.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
It is never too late to learn an instrument.
Fran
It's too late now.
Rhea
It really isn't.
Unknown
I think a lot of people.
Rhea
I will say it really isn't. Shout out to my aunt, uncle. They both, like, picked up instruments and, like, play with their friends, like, out in bars in New York.
Fran
That's nice.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I think, though, like, right now, no, but, like, maybe in my 40s and 50s. That's fair, you know, like, right now.
Unknown
What would be, like, the one you want to learn?
Fran
Oh, good question. How much time do we have? I don't know. I don't have a strong desire.
Unknown
Can't learn how to sing.
Fran
No. But only if I don't have a strong desire to play an instrument. Now, that's why, you know, if I'm.
Unknown
Being honest, my thing is, it's like I listen to John Mayer, whoever, and I'm like, God, like, I just pretend that I wish I could be him and, like, be as good as him, but I know that, like, I could practice for 10 straight years and I won't be a quarter as good as him. So it's like, I'm not gonna have fun if I'm not good.
Rhea
Yeah. But it doesn't matter if you're. That it brings you joy sometimes sitting down, no matter how good or bad you are, it's a peaceful moment. It's a time for yourself. People love that little escape, sitting down and playing their instrument, regardless, their love of music, not. You know, there's only so many John Mayers out there in the world, so.
Unknown
Preach.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
So true. Yeah.
Unknown
Would you ever learn a new language for fun?
Fran
Yeah, definitely. Definitely.
Rhea
Yeah, that's it. That is very hard, though. But I would love to do it and then go. You have to really immerse yourself in the mm.
Unknown
Like, learn a new language and then just, like, move to that.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Well, I'm kind of pissed because. Well, number one, taking Spanish for as long as I did and not being very good at it is. It's just disappointing. Like, I'm disappointed to myself.
Rhea
I think a lot of people feel that I.
Fran
Right. Like, you go through all these years in school for. From 5th through 12th grade, learning Spanish.
Unknown
I took Spanish one 10 times.
Fran
I would say I can understand some things, but I would like, like to be able to speak it.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Better than I can because of how long, you know, we studied it. Yeah. And then on top of that, my mom speaks fluent Italian and didn't teach any of us. So that I'm disappointed in, too. It's like, you didn't want to pass along. You didn't want to pass along any of that. Well, I mean, she speaks Sicilian, which is whatever, but same thing. Not the same thing, but you get what I mean. Like, so you didn't want to.
Rhea
I'd be annoyed by that, too. I'm like, come on, you didn't want.
Fran
To give us anything.
Rhea
You didn't want to make me bilingual. Yeah, yeah.
Fran
It's like, all right.
Rhea
Yep. So.
Fran
But I think, you know, learning to speak a language is really cool. Yeah. If you can. If you can fully do it.
Rhea
Totally.
Fran
All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We're going to be talking about. Oh, God. I mean, strange stuff going on. Rain dissect cleared up that Justin Bieber is not his father. He's 10 years old. That's a real. That's a real headline that I just read. Glen Powell's mom clears up that Sydney Sweeney and Glenn are not dating. She's just really good friend. And Sydney and Glenn. Really, really good friend. Really, really good friend. And the Beatles cast has been announced. I think it's pretty spot on. And we have the popcorner. So let's get into the topics.
Rhea
I have tried a ton of different mattresses through the years. Whether it was, you know, being in college or my first apartment where I just used some random mattress that who knows where it even came from, honestly. But when Joe and I moved in together, we said, we need a great mattress. We wanted a king size bed. We wanted to feel comfortable. We went with the Helix mattress. We have the midnight luxe mattress. Oh, my God. I rave about this mattress all the time. It is so great for, you know, really an in between sleeper. Sometimes I'm a side sleeper. Sometimes I'm. I'm on my back. You know, it changes. But I love the support that the midnight luxe mattress gives me. I've had that mattress for now going on five years. Four or five years. Yeah, about four years. And it is. It's so great. I've never had any complaints about it. Really had it going in my apartment. I've recommended it to all my friends. When they're looking for a new mattress, it's such an upgrade from the old. Sleep feels luxurious. It's always that exciting factor that makes me even more excited at the end of the night when it's like, oh, it's time to go to bed, get all cozy. It's just such a comfortable mattress. So you go to helixsleep.com chicks for 20% off site wide. That's Helix H E l I x sleep.com chicks for 20% off site wide. Helixsleep.com chicks.
Fran
So this headline was everywhere. Rain Disick was on Instagram Live and cleared up that Justin Bieber is not his father. Now, if you've been on the Internet as deep as we are often, you would see that in prior years, people would always, you know, oh, joke around like, wow, Rain Disick really looks like Justin Bieber is Justin Bieber, Rain Disick's dad. Oh, remember when Courtney and Justin had that little rendezvous? Did they ever hook up? It's about that time. Seems like Justin could be Rain Disick's father. I guess rain Disick, who's 10 years old, saw this and saw the people commenting, and he decided to clear it up on Instagram Live. And he was like, scotty, Scotty, Scotty. Talking about how Scott Disicks, his father, Kourtney Kardashian, his mother, would never do something like that. He started saying that Justin Bieber was 16 at the time. Not true. Justin was like 21 or whatever at the time. But that's besides the point. The fact that Rain Disick is on Instagram Live even talking about the. Can you imagine?
Rhea
Well, well, he was on it. It was. And I'm sure he got his shirt like it was Alabama's boyfriend. Instagram Live.
Fran
That's what I'm saying. But can you imagine getting off that Instagram Live? Can you imagine the conversation that went down in that house?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
With Courtney and her kids.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
Like, we, like some. Somebody's gotta save these kids in some capacity from the Internet, I think.
Rhea
Not that they have bad baby. Yeah, there's some different. I feel like there's some different parenting with how Courtney's kids have been Travis's kids. Travis a little looser. You know, Alabama's out here doing whatever she wants to do. That's a whole nother topic. But they're clearly in the house and like this. Her. Alabama's boyfriend is on Instagram Live. So it's just like Rain pops in and they're looking at what people are saying and they're talking and they're doing all these things. And he said, yeah, not his dad. I don't know how old my mom was, but I think Justin Bieber was 16 when I got born. Yeah, I don't think my mom would.
Fran
Do that when I got born.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I mean, he's 10 years old. I don't know why he's 10 years old. I don't know why I'm picking that apart.
Rhea
I. What? How does he even know what that is? Like, he's like, my mom wouldn't do that. Oh, your mom wouldn't sleep with Justin Bieber?
Fran
Like, right. Right now? My mom would never sleep with Justin Bieber.
Unknown
Only because he was 16.
Rhea
He's 10 years old.
Fran
This is just insane. Like they need to be shield from the Internet. And we honestly haven't even talked about what's going on with, with Kim and Kanye and north and the whole thing because Kanye is such a piece of shit that we don't even like talking about it.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But like, I am worried about these kids. And increasingly the 10 year old rain Disick should not be on Alabama Barker's boyfriend's Instagram live talking about whether or not his mom fooled around with Justin Bieber.
Rhea
No. I have a feeling that these headlines today really gave them quite the quite the headache where Courtney may have had to have a conversation with them with the children who are, you know, older, like, Alabama, let's not let that happen.
Fran
Yeah, let's not. He's reading the comments and it's like, Justin Bieber's your. Justin Bieber's your dad.
Rhea
Real dad.
Fran
And he's like, am I not Justin Bieber?
Rhea
No.
Fran
God, he. Justin's not my daddy.
Rhea
Scotty.
Fran
Scotty. Scotty.
Rhea
Scotty. Scotty.
Fran
D. What? What? Speaking.
Rhea
And by the way, I'm like, you're in trouble, Scooter. You're in trouble. You're. You're grounded from being at the, at the Kardashian Barker household.
Fran
You are. And I hate that I'm bringing this up again, but Justin Bieber has to stop sharing memes to his Instagram story that have to do with fighting with his bae. Okay. He's all. He's consistently sharing like memes that right now in this climate.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
With the Haley thing.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
You would think I'm not gonna share this on my story. Today he posted one. It's a video of a guy like, and it said like, now I'm just gonna pull it up because I don't want to butcher this. Yeah, but this is, like, the third one in the past two weeks where you're like, why are you sharing this on your story? Just so people can pick apart your relationship more. Is. It's a. It's a video, and it says me acting nonchalant after an argument to make BAE more mad. And then it's just like, a guy, like, joking around. You can hear a girl screaming. So he's like, I like to make BAE more.
Rhea
Right, right, right.
Fran
And then he shares.
Rhea
I will say, he does definitely seem like that type.
Fran
Yeah, for sure.
Rhea
Like, he's definitely the guy that, like, gets into an argument and then just, like, keeps the joke going, like, way too long and finds it funny.
Fran
It's not funny.
Rhea
And she's just getting more and more upset being like, stop laughing. It's not funny. But he can't stop laughing.
Fran
Right. Like, he's a kid in school.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And then he shared one. Are you a boob? A song. Are you a boob guy or a butt guy? And then it's like, nah, I'm a hat guy. I like when my woman has a big hat. Like, I'm like, what are these memes and videos?
Rhea
I don't know. I don't know. We have no explanation for it.
Fran
But he loves reels. He loves Instagram reels.
Rhea
He does.
Fran
He's.
Rhea
All he does is share them on reels.
Fran
He's on reels all day.
Rhea
He's scrolling reels big time.
Fran
I sent you guys a picture last night, and I was like, yep, this was me when I smoked three backwood blunts a day. Like, he's just. I don't know, because he does post. Like, weed a lot. Like, he does post. He smokes. I'm like, is he just high as fuck and on reels all day long? That could be laughing and just laughing. That could possibly be, I think, spamming everybody. He's got a backwoods in his hand and he's got Jack in the other, and he's just, like, scrolling reels. Yeah, whatever.
Rhea
That doesn't sound great.
Fran
No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. You know, we don't know what's going on.
Rhea
So y.
Fran
Moving on. Glenn Powell and Sydney Sweeney, obviously, you know, we've been talking about that.
Rhea
Sydney seems official.
Fran
Apparently Sydney and her fiance.
Rhea
Ex.
Fran
Fiance, now, after seven years, have split. They're done. So apparently they've been split since January, actually. But Glenn Powell's mom stepped in.
Rhea
Yeah. This is just an unreal quote. I don't know how she was talking to the Daily Mail. But she was, she was talking to the Daily Mail. Cindy told the Daily Mail they're definitely not together. And she said that we love Sydney. We've considered her just a really, really good friend. We all were together so much and we haven't seen her in a long time. She's really a friend and we all enjoy her. She's called the romance rumors silly. There's nothing going on behind closed doors before, you know, praising how lovely Glenn is. He's the kindest person, loves his family, loves his friends. Sydney's a friend. They've been friends for so long. They known each other for so long. They've been both single and together with other people. So, yeah, nothing like your mom coming to the rescue. Thanks, Mom.
Fran
She had to step in and mention.
Rhea
Really, really good, really, really good friends. And I, you know, I really do believe this.
Fran
I do too.
Rhea
I really do believe. I think it's so hard.
Fran
Really great saying.
Rhea
I do. I do think he is a really great friend. And yeah, I think like they made that movie together. There's ups, downs all around the family. So close takes. Take Sydney in, do all these things and they were just like, yeah, you know, nothing out. Nothing was weird about her being at the wedding at all. Cause she's been invited from the beginning in the first place.
Fran
She was always meant to be there.
Rhea
She was always supposed to be there. So, yeah, very good friends. And I do see that Glenn just has a lot of friends.
Fran
He does.
Rhea
And you know, and he is a really nice.
Fran
He's a really nice, friendly guy.
Rhea
He's a really, really nice guy.
Fran
And you know, I just pray I'm under a spell.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And I just prayed to the high heavens that he didn't see, you know what we posted on our Instagram about him and Sydney?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
He followed say that probably a chuckle.
Unknown
He has a sense of humor.
Fran
He does have a sense of humor. But he does.
Rhea
He does.
Fran
But it's something I wasn't like proud of what I said, but it's different.
Rhea
Than just being like, hey, like, you just see I double checked with you and it's not like a straight. It's not like we're all sad.
Fran
Yes. I wasn't proud of it, but I wasn't going to let you know. I don't want to hold back the content.
Rhea
Yeah. We're also like not strangers to him. So it's not like he's like seeing that and being like, oh, that's like funny. It's like a stranger. He's like, oh, okay, brah.
Fran
Yeah. Like, ooh, yeah, we had that FaceTime and you know, we go way back.
Rhea
Yeah, we.
Fran
Yeah, we do. Yeah. Well, you know, that's all right. I did see some conversation about the dress that Sidney wore, which I thought was. She looked gorgeous. And people were like, is this light blue too close to white? And I'm like, what?
Rhea
Oh, yeah, What? Light blue could be tough, I will.
Fran
Say, but in photograph. But like in photography, it's always blue. I think, you know, the photograph gets blown out. It could maybe. But I thought it looked blue. Yeah, I didn't think it looked white.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
You know, I agree.
Rhea
I actually, I saw. I saw a tick tock that really. And people were like, is this rage bait? And all the. All the comments were like, is this rage bait? Because the girls like, help me pick out a dress for a wedding. Is she like three dresses? One was objectively not cute. One was. She's like, it's this beautiful light blue color. It was like white. Like it translated, especially on video, like it translated to white.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And then the other one was like a light yellow that also really looked white. And all the comments were like, is this girl joking?
Fran
Right. If it looks like white on camera, you probably stay away from it. But I thought that hers looked blue. I didn't think.
Rhea
I thought it did.
Fran
I didn't think twice.
Rhea
I thought it did twice.
Fran
That looks blue to me.
Rhea
And a lot of people use blues in their wedding parties and stuff, like light blues and different blues. So. Yeah.
Fran
Yeah. Well, they're just really, really friends.
Rhea
Really good friends.
Fran

And let me tell you, I'm thinking pretty spot on for this season.
Rhea
Oh my. It's a. It was really incredibly well done.
Fran
Right. I mean, we posted the pictures on Instagram and you could see the side by side. But you have Harris Dickinson as John Lennon.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
Thought that one was. I think they're all accurate. So you're gonna hear me say it.
Rhea
But yeah.
Fran
Then you have Paul Mizkal as. As Paul McCartney, Barry Keegan or Keoghan whatever as Ringo Starr. I thought that one was spot on. I was like, oh, wow. I never noticed.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
I never know.
Rhea
Same nose on those two.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. And eyes.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I never really noticed the similarities. Yeah. With the whole face, really. And then Joseph Quinn as George Harrison.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
This is quite the group. If you want to get people talking about the. About the Beatles biopic, you're gonna have people talking about this. Now. This is a four film event.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Released in April 2028. So. Wow, that's a long time to go.
Rhea
Yeah, no, that's certainly far away. Four movies and they're all coming out at the same time.
Fran
And.
Rhea
Which is really interesting.
Unknown
The first bingeable movie.
Rhea
Yeah. It's like you can like.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
You can like go in and say, hey, I'm kind of in the mood for the. For the Paul Ringo double header and I'll come back tomorrow for the John Lennon show.
Unknown
Where they were like, you can watch it in any order and like. Yeah, be like. I feel like that's like. Who do you start with? You start with John.
Fran
I. I don't know.
Rhea
They're all gonna be in each. Yeah. Like, they're all gonna be in each movie, right? Like.
Unknown
Yeah, I don't know.
Fran
Yeah, I think they would have to be.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But I.
Rhea
Each of the four movies is gonna focus on one of them.
Unknown
I know, but it's like it's their.
Rhea
Time as the Beatles.
Unknown
Is that definitely what it is? Like it's not like growing.
Fran
No, no, I think it's their time, which I love. I actually love. It's just a focus on each one. I think that's sicko.
Unknown
He's gonna be last for everyone's.
Fran
I think that this is gonna be quite an event. And if they want people talking about it, then they casted and you know, people are hating on this cast. I. I don't know why people are hating on It a lot.
Rhea
I feel like this is perfect. And it's like every young. Like these guys are all very in demand. These four guys.
Fran
I thought so too but I was talking to Robbie about this and he was like, yeah, people hate this casting. They wanted like unknown, whatever, but.
Unknown
But most of them are not like Harris Dickinson isn't like an insanely giant name. Like he's great.
Rhea
No, no. And I mean I feel like Joseph Quinn hasn't really had a. Yeah. Massive, massive moment.
Unknown
But I think Eric Hogan's like the biggest name.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Paul Masco, Paul Maskell. But I think this is fantastic. I can't wait for this. I mean 2028, it's a long time from now, but I'm excited and no.
Rhea
It'S going to be really exciting. It's directed by Sam Mendes. I think it's going to be, you know, really, really impressive, like you said. Surprisingly, their plans to make four films, one for each member of the famed band were first announced last year. Yeah, I mean it's. They're literally calling it a Beatles biopics. Like it has to be when they're in the Beatles. That would be wild if it wasn't.
Unknown
Yeah, I mean like. But it could have been like a biopic where it's like starts as a young, like a full spectrum. Like.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah.
Unknown
I don't know if they have enough time to do that.
Rhea
Many claims that Sony film boss Tom Rothman called the projects the first binge of a theatrical experience. That's what you just said. They took a. After hitting the stage, they did this in Vegas at. They announced this at some CinemaCon MM in Vegas. After hitting the stage, all four actors recited lyrics from the band's song Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and then took a Beatles style one of my chorus songs. Synchronized synchronized bow. The movie's news closed out Sony's presentation with a true mic drop moment that left the auditorium stunned by the release date news and then of course by the surprise visits from the four stars. You have to match the boldness of the idea with the bold release strategy. Rothman told the Hollywood Reporter last year about the the project that earned the Oscar winning director a coveted sign off from the group selected label Apple Corps. There hasn't been an enterprise like this before and you can't think about it in traditional releasing terms. So. Yeah.
Fran
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely.
Rhea
Yeah. Wow. No, it's gonna be, it's gonna. They're gonna be working on this movie for a while. Obviously they gotta make a lot of movies. And then we'll be able to watch it in 2028. In three years.
Fran
Yeah. Robbie fell for a April Fool's joke today that Abby Road was moving.
Unknown
What?
Rhea
Whether they were like gonna pick up the road and move it.
Unknown
Just like move the sign.
Fran
I don't know.
Rhea
It barely has picking it up.
Fran
Like. And if you go to Abbey Road, there's not, it's.
Unknown
But you know you didn't go to the gift shop, right? No, because that is.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, but it's like.
Unknown
It is funny though when people like.
Fran
People show up and they're like.
Unknown
But it's like, what were you expecting?
Fran
Yeah, no, I had that when we went this in December and my sister.
Unknown
In law was like, wait, did I ever show you.
Fran
She, she was like so baffled and I was like, well, what were you expecting?
Rhea
So it's just.
Fran
And she was like, I don't know, like a big welcome sign. Yeah, something. And I was like, I do feel you there. Like, there is no, like I ever.
Unknown
Show you when I walked and I dressed fully as John Lennon. I showed you.
Fran
Yeah.
Unknown
Proud of that.
Fran
Yes. Yeah.
Rhea
More than once. We've definitely seen.
Unknown
Sure.
Rhea
Yes, we've seen it.
Fran
We've seen it. No, but there's no like big sign that says like Abbey Road, you know?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Literally just straight.
Rhea
Just a normal. Yeah.
Fran
I don't know how Robbie fell for something like that quick.
Rhea
No, no, you can't be having. No, they're not picking, picking up the road.
Fran
Yeah. But yeah, I'm excited. Three years. So we have something to look forward to in April 2028.
Rhea
We do.
Fran
Yes, we do.
Rhea
We do.
Fran
All right, that wraps up the topics.

Welcome back to the Popcorner. We're going to be taking your voicemails, your hot takes, your questions, whatever you want to talk about it. All right, let's get into it. Starting off with the first voicemail.
Noah
Hi, Lee and Fran. Huge fan of you guys. I'm so happy for everything you guys have done and for Jonas last weekend, like, that was so awesome. I'm so happy for you guys. This is not pop culture, but Noah threw in a few weeks ago some a dating advice question. So I figured I'd maybe shoot my shot here and see if it keeps us sit. So basically, I've gone through a breakup recently. It was with a guy that I was with for about six years. And very recently one of my friends sent me a screenshot because she had seen his dating profile. And on his dating profile was a picture of the two of us. Like, not just any picture of the two of us, but a couple's picture. Like we were clearly at a wedding, like, with each other. And it's now on his dating profile, which I immediately thought was, like, very weird and I was uncomfortable with. But I've kind of asked a few people and I don't know, everyone has a different opinion on it, but thought I'd throw it out to see what you guys think about it. And yeah, can't wait to see you guys in Tampa next week and love you guys so much.
Rhea
Oh, my God, he must think he looks so good in the picture that he had to put it on his dating profile. Like, he. He must think, God, I know this picture's with my ex, but I look so fucking good at this wedding. I need it to be on here. What's he going to do, tell people it's his sister?
Fran
I mean, I don't know what the different opinions could be. Besides, that's insane.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
How could anybody have a different opinion than. That's really weird. And that should.
Unknown
How do you reverse your chances on a dating profile to be have a picture with a girl?
Rhea
So he must be saying like, ah, that's. Yeah, that's my cousin. It was a family wedding.
Fran
I mean, what. That's psychotic. No, that's weird. That I can. I can confirm. I think that's bizarre.
Rhea
I agree.
Fran
And Anybody who's trying to tell you otherwise, I don't know, maybe they're just trying to, like, not hurt your feelings and try to make you feel better about the whole thing. But that is weird. And you should be really happy you guys broke up. If that's the kind of behavior.
Rhea
Like, six years is a long time.
Fran
Taking it to throw. Yes.
Rhea
To throw that photo on, like, stab in the heart and take that fucking picture.
Fran
And then if he were to date somebody else and start dating them seriously, and they say, oh, do you have any exes? Is he just gonna neglect the fact that he dated you for six years?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Six years is a long time.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah. Damn.
Fran
Damn. That's strange.
Rhea
I really am laughing, though. The fact that he. He must, like, he must be. There's no other explanation. He must be like, and I look so good in this photo.
Fran
You know, it would be hilarious if she sent it to him and was like, why is this on your dating profile? And he was like, I just look too damn good.
Rhea
I look too good. Too fucking good. Ladies need to see me in a tux.
Fran
Damn, that's strange. All right, now that's bizarre.
Rhea
Bizarre for sure. He should take that down.
Fran
For sure. You are right in thinking that is weird. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
Rhea
Agreed.
Noah
Hi, this is Liz from Staten Island, New York, my hot take. I hope that I'm not the only one on this one, but Dakota Johnson needs to stop making movies. Please, please. Dakota, you're a really nice girl, really beautiful, but you cannot ask. And on top of that, you just talk about. About every project that you are in. So who wants to work with someone like that? Just go away, girl. You will be happy. All of us will be happy. Have a nice day.
Fran
Wow. She has something against Dakota Johnson.
Rhea
Yeah, like, she's really got something against Dakota.
Fran
Did Dakota Johnson do something personally to her? Yeah, I haven't seen Dakota Johnson in much. I, I, I, I won't lie.
Rhea
She doesn't even act that much anymore.
Fran
She was 50 shades of gray.
Rhea
Oh. Oh, my God. My brain really just. I just had one of maybe.
Unknown
What are you thinking?
Rhea
The whole time I was thinking of Dakota Fanning, she was saying, Dakota Johnson. And I. My brain went to Dakota.
Fran
Let me tell you, I would have a much more react. Dakota Fanning's a phenomenal actor.
Unknown
If anyone hated Dakota Fanning.
Fran
No, but Dakota Johnson, too. Like, I don't. Is she a bad actress?
Unknown
What she also alluded to was, like, kind of like, after she does movies, like, kind of shitting on the movie. It was only that one movie. The web movie.
Rhea
Well, Madame Web, everyone hated that. Absolute disaster.
Unknown
Has she done done it other times? I don't know where she like, shits on a movie.
Rhea
No, I don't think so.
Fran
On the train.
Rhea
No.
Fran
There's Emily Blunt.
Rhea
No. Dakota. And I think Dakota Johnson's in that new movie with. It's not out yet, but Pedro Pascal.
Unknown
Oh, yeah. It's Pedro and who?
Rhea
And Chris Evans.
Unknown
It's like it's three. It's like a thruffle type.
Rhea
Yeah. It's like, it seems trailer came out.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah. The premise was like, she meets Pedro Pascal's, like, new relationship. Chris Evans is like the guy from her past kind of vibe I have. The trailer looks really good. Yeah, I, I, I don't mind Dakota Johnson. There are certainly some roles that, that I'm like. That wasn't spectacular.
Fran
Right. This was a hot take coming in.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Because it felt like her life would be made better if Dakota Johnson was.
Unknown
But she also made it seem like Dakota's life would be better too.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
She's like, hey, girl, give it a rest.
Rhea
Me and you both. Hang it up, sister.
Unknown
I'll always.
Fran
I'm just looking out for you, Dakota.
Unknown
For when she stood up to Ellen.
Fran
True. Right.
Rhea
Never forget 100.
Fran
All right, moving on.
Noah
Hi, ladies and Noah, this is Jamie from Long island, and I have a very important TV mashup question for you. I want to know if you could do one crossover episode between any Disney Channel TV show and one prestige TV drama, what would it be? I'm thinking Zach and Cody on the board in succession. Or Raven Simone has a bad premonition about a drug deal gone wrong.
Fran
And the Sopranos.
Noah
I know you two ladies can come up with something crazy. So if there could be any crossover series, what would you want to watch?
Fran
Thank you.
Noah
Bye.
Fran
This is a good question.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I would say first thing, and we can go for a long time with this. I feel Hannah Montana at the White Lotus.
Rhea
Yep, yep. You know, that's a good one. That's a really good one.
Fran
There's always, there's always some sort of celebrity involved.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And, you know, and people are confused at the resort because they see Miley, but then they see Hannah and they think she's two different people at the resort.
Rhea
Drake and Josh on the bear.
Fran
Wow. Yeah.
Unknown
They're just like, Are they working at the bear? Are they, like, customizing?
Rhea
No, I think they're working. I think they're working, like.
Fran
Yes. That could really. Yes, yes. Really good banter. In the kitchen with that one.
Rhea
Yep, totally. Totally unfabulous on Daisy Jones and the six. Now, that's because that show is in my mind. I'm trying to think of or even, like, proceed like long standing ones. Throwing iCarly on Grey's Anatomy.
Fran
I was gonna say Zoe 101 on Grey's Anatomy with her key, something. She accidentally eats her key.
Rhea
Right, right.
Fran
The key around her neck.
Rhea
Right. They're like. It's a. Yeah, yeah. There's some sort of disaster that happens. Maybe a school trip to Seattle gone wrong, and they all end up in At Grace.
Fran
Right. Oh, my gosh, what a disaster. Yeah, I'm really stuck on Hannah Montana at the White Lotus.
Rhea
No, that's a really good one.
Unknown
I do like the idea of Zack and Cody being somewhere together.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah. But here's the thing.
Fran
Zack and Cody. Zack and Cody get mixed up with Tony and Christopher.
Rhea
Zack and Cody, you could really throw them on anything, I think.
Unknown
But, like, this is, like, Jackson down the line now. Cody's, like, has a nice job somewhere. Finance job. But Zach went down the wrong path and he's like, in the Sopranos.
Fran
Yeah. Or one of them's dating Meadow.
Rhea
Yeah, right, right, right.
Fran
Zach or Cody's dating Meadow and they're doing a twin switch on her at college.
Rhea
So Cody decided to get severed severance.
Unknown
That would be unreal. And then, like, he, like, comes out and like. Like he's so confused about his twin.
Rhea
Like the same. Yep, yep.
Unknown
They send their.
Rhea
There's a whole. Yeah, you could have a whole funky aspect to severance with twins.
Unknown
Wow.
Fran
Ravens on big little lies. She's psychic. She can already see what's gonna happen. Damn.
Rhea
Raven on the white Lotus. Really?
Fran
Yeah. Oh, wow.
Rhea
She's like, oh, my bad. Shit's about to go down in this.
Fran
And it starts of the. Like, literally this scene starts off. That's how we find out someone's killed. Is Raven having a vision on the white lotus? Holy. That's genius.
Rhea
That is good.
Fran
By the way, someone just sent me. The White Lotus is an hour and a half on Sunday.
Rhea
Sunday has to be. Has to be. Yeah.
Fran
Wow. That's a good question. All right, let's do one more.
Noah
Hi, ladies. My name is Amanda. I'm calling from Richmond. I have a Just hot take. Not like a pop culture hot take, but, like, what are. What is this tape that people are putting over their mouths to sleep?
Rhea
I. Mouth tape.
Noah
I don't know who invented it, and I don't know why it's happening, but I don't know who wants to go to bed suffocating. I just want to know your opinions on this. And maybe I'm wrong and maybe it actually does help, but I just have seen a lot of videos of a get ready with me and people taking duct tape off their mouth and it just feels weird.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
All right, thanks. Have a good day. Bye.
Rhea
Yeah, it objectively does look really weird. I don't do it, but I know a lot of people that do. And I will advocate for mouth tape. People fucking love it. And it actually like, like Joe will use it some night. Some nights he wakes up, he has like the best night's sleep.
Fran
It wasn't until I saw your brother post this morning.
Rhea
Yeah, my brother's hyping up the mouth tape right now as well that I.
Fran
Ever even gave it a second thought. Yeah, he's the first one in my life that I know actually that I've seen influencers use it. But actually no use mouth tape and post that he had the best night's sleep.
Rhea
And I brother in law uses it. Joe uses it sometimes.
Fran
I give us a spin.
Unknown
But like, say like, you're a little congested. Like.
Rhea
No, but that's the point.
Unknown
It helps, but I just like, I feel like I can't breathe, like.
Rhea
Yeah, I mean, I have that problem. I'm just constantly congested anyway because of my allergies. But on the nights when I'm like slightly less congested and I can actually fall asleep and I can feel that I don't. I'm not mouth breathing halfway through the night, I do. Even just that alone, I get a better night's sleep because on the nights when I wake up in the morning and I've got like that gross feeling in my mouth, because I know I've been sleeping with my mouth wide open all night long. And it's also really good for your like, mouth health, mouth hygiene, because you're not like. I think mainly closes it all up.
Unknown
Are doing it because people say it makes your jawline more defined.
Rhea
Yeah, it does. Yeah, they say that. I know it sounds silly, but I think that's gonna be honest.
Fran
That's the only why I thought about it. That's the only reason why I thought about it.
Rhea
No, you're really supposed to be breathing through your nose.
Unknown
No, I know. Well, you know what I actually wanted?
Rhea
I was sleeping. You should be breathing through your nose.
Fran
I do, and it goes through my nose. Though I don't wake up often with my mouth open, so I don't know Though sometimes some people are fine with it.
Rhea
Like, I know that it would. It would help me a lot.
Unknown
The new rave, which Jeff Lowe really brought to my attention. Did you see his video about it? He was like, this is not an ad. I just need to, like, I want people to know, cuz it's changed my life. It's like a magnet you put on your nose.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah.
Unknown
You put like two sticky things with a magnet on your nose and you put one thing and it opens up your nostrils to the point where like, I don't think he was like overdoing it. Where like, it's. He's like, I can breathe. Like, he's like, I can breathe. Like colors like, wow. You can breathe. You didn't think you could.
Rhea
I'm in on that. That's probably what I should try that.
Unknown
I'm like, I kind of want to try that.
Fran
It looks damn good opening up your nostrils so that I've seen so many.
Rhea
Tiktoks of people doing that of like, of guys like breathing normally. And then they put it on and then they're like, they get this rush of air. They're like, holy. Like their life has changed.
Fran
But that is something I would be interested in.
Rhea
Don't knock mouth tape until you try it. I think that's it's really.
Fran
I mean, there's clearly a reason people are hyping it up.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
If people love it that much.
Rhea
Yeah. And if you feel like you already are a pretty peaceful sleeper.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
You don't need to change anything. But for the people that struggle with. Maybe they're breathing while they're sleeping. It's a huge thing.
Fran
Yeah, that is. That's a great point. All right, that wraps up the Popcorner. Don't be afraid to call in and ask us questions. We'll post the number on Chicks in the Office. So call in and we'll be answering your questions every week on the Popcorner on Wednesday.

Chicks in the Office: Justin Bieber & Kourtney Kardashian Hookup Rumors Denied by Reign Disick + Glen Powell’s Mom Praises Sydney Sweeney
Release Date: April 2, 2025 | Host: Ria and Fran | Barstool Sports
In this engaging episode of Chicks in the Office, hosts Ria and Fran delve into the whirlwind of pop culture, addressing the latest celebrity rumors, personal anecdotes, and intriguing television news. From dissecting April Fool's Day pranks to clarifying high-profile relationship rumors, the duo ensures listeners are thoroughly entertained and informed.
The episode kicks off with Ria and Fran sharing their tumultuous experiences with April Fool's Day pranks. Recorded on April Fool's Day itself, the hosts humorously recount their struggles to discern genuine news from prank announcements.
"I told myself all weekend long, don't get got. Don't do it. I'm falling for things on social media left and right today."
(02:05)
Ria elaborates on the confusion caused by plausible-sounding fake news:
"I found myself questioning that ESPN posted a new rule for the NFL for regular season overtimes. ... all the comments are like, wait, is this real or April Fools?"
(02:58)
The hosts highlight specific instances, such as false restaurant openings and fabricated breakups, emphasizing the challenges of maintaining skepticism in the digital age.
Transitioning from pranks, Ria and Fran embark on a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about their school days, failed attempts at learning instruments, and the quirky traditions of their Catholic school.
"I wanted to start an all-girl band, obviously. ... I realized I had no talent whatsoever."
(13:06)
They discuss the infamous "nut cards," a school pass system that inadvertently became a source of amusement in hindsight.
"You just had your nut card that was sick. And they were, like, getting a nut card."
(22:05)
These nostalgic segments provide a relatable and humorous contrast to the episode's later, more serious topics.
One of the headline topics revolves around Rain Disick, son of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, addressing rampant rumors about Justin Bieber possibly being his father—a speculation Fran and Ria find both amusing and concerning.
"Rain Disick, who's 10 years old, saw this and saw the people commenting, and he decided to clear it up on Instagram Live."
(33:06)
Ria elaborates on the awkwardness of a child navigating such rumors:
"He said, yeah, Justin Bieber was 16 at the time... But Rain Disick is on Instagram Live, talking about whether or not his mom fooled around with Justin Bieber."
(34:05)
The hosts express concern over how the Kardashian household manages their children's exposure to public speculations.
Addressing another rumor, Ria and Fran discuss Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, with Glen’s mother stepping in to deny any romantic involvement between the two, instead highlighting their strong friendship.
"Cindy told the Daily Mail they're definitely not together... We've considered her just a really, really good friend."
(39:27)
Fran adds her perspective:
"She's always been meant to be there. They have been friends for so long."
(40:30)
The clarification helps dispel unnecessary gossip, reinforcing the importance of reliable sources in celebrity news.
The episode also covers the recent announcement of the Beatles biopic cast, which Fran and Ria find impressively accurate despite some public skepticism.
Fran praises the casting accuracy:
"Harris Dickinson as John Lennon... Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. I thought that one was spot on."
(44:29)
Ria concurs, noting the authentic resemblance:
"There are some of these guys who can really bring the roles to life. It’s quite the group."
(46:10)
Despite some backlash online, the hosts remain optimistic about the project’s execution, anticipating a successful portrayal of the iconic band members.
In the Popcorner segment, Ria and Fran respond to listener voicemails, offering advice and sharing their candid opinions on various topics.
Voicemail from Noah: Concerns about an ex-boyfriend using a couple's photo on his dating profile.
Ria reacts humorously:
"He must think he looks so good in the picture that he had to put it on his dating profile."
(52:34)
Fran adds:
"That's bizarre. And you should be really happy you guys broke up if that's the kind of behavior."
(53:29)
Voicemail from Liz expresses a strong dislike for actress Dakota Johnson’s career choices and public behavior.
Fran questions the validity:
"I haven't seen Dakota Johnson in much. ... I don't think she's a bad actress."
(55:00)
Ria discusses Dakota's performances:
"Madame Web was an absolute disaster."
(55:37)
Despite differing opinions, Fran and Ria maintain a respectful dialogue, acknowledging varying perspectives on public figures.
Voicemail from Jamie requests suggestions for a crossover between Disney Channel shows and prestige TV dramas.
Ria and Fran brainstorm creative combinations:
"Hannah Montana at the White Lotus."
(57:33)
"Zach and Cody on The Sopranos."
(58:56)
Their imaginative suggestions showcase their deep engagement with both mainstream and niche television content.
Voicemail from Amanda questions the trend of using tape to cover the mouth during sleep.
Ria shares personal insights:
"I get a better night's sleep because... I'm not mouth breathing."
(61:03)
Fran remains open to trying:
"But that is something I would be interested in."
(63:36)
The discussion highlights emerging wellness trends and their potential benefits.
As the episode wraps up, Ria and Fran reflect on the diverse array of topics covered, from celebrity rumors and nostalgic reminiscences to listener interactions. Their dynamic conversation, peppered with humor and insightful commentary, underscores their role as trusted voices in the pop culture landscape.
Listeners are left with a blend of laughter, thoughtful perspectives, and anticipation for future episodes, ensuring that Chicks in the Office remains a staple for entertainment enthusiasts seeking both information and entertainment.
