Who turned the heat up Turn the beat up record the pod made a bag put their feet up the ones that leave no crumbs when they clean up who's the pod that they all want to meet up?

[Fran]

What's up everyone?

[Ria]

It's chicks in the office with Ria and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Friday. Happy Friday, everybody. Happy. End of the week, we are inching closer and closer to Christmas, which we are so, so excited about. But we are back from Philly. We had our holiday spectacular Tuesday night, which one might say was spectacular.

[Fran]

It was. We had an amazing time.

[Ria]

We did. We had such a great time. Such great, you know, guests in the crowd. Love meeting all of you. Everyone who Showed up. Thank you so much for coming to the show. It was amazing show. We had Mount Joy come. Matt and Sam from Mount Joy. They were amazing and it was just so much fun. It was a great start to the week because now we're a little bit confused because now it's the end of the week, but that felt like the end of the week and now we're restarting.

[Fran]

I don't know what day it is. I think it's because we were doing other shows more towards the end of the week, you know, and then doing a show on a Tuesday. And then we were still in Philly on Wednesday. I was watching TV Wednesday night and I'm almost done with the Diddy doc and I finished episode three and I was like, I'm not going to have time to finish episode four before the weekly watch report. And then I was like, it's Wednesday.

[Ria]

Yeah, that'll throw you off.

[Fran]

I was like. I literally was thinking. It was like I was coming in on Monday to record. I really.

[Ria]

You're.

[Fran]

You're just. We're just all over the place.

[Ria]

We are, but we're so excited because Philly really was so fun. So much fun. And it was such a great way to end the year. And just our last show of the year and we'll. We'll get back started, you know, a little bit, you know, more towards spring on those shows, which we're super pumped about. But that was so much fun. So thank you once again, everybody who came out to not just Philly, but to every show that we did this past fall. We had such a fun time. And meeting all of you is always the highlight because we get to, you know, chat and talk in person about our favorite things, which is pop culture. So we love it.

[Fran]

Absolutely. Absolutely. And no, it was great to end in Philly. Like we were joking. Wish the Eagles were better, which was said many a times amongst the group. But it was really great. Cause my mom came and our husbands were there and I had a bunch of aunts, my stout Jersey aunts were all there with some friends and everybody was having a great time.

[Ria]

Everybody was loosey goosey in Philly.

[Fran]

Rumor on the street is a friend may have left in the Santa suit to go back to as they should.

[Ria]

To go back to South Jersey as they should. And you know what? Matt's pissed because he's like, that's my Santa suit. Just kidding.

[Fran]

But right imagine is like.

[Ria]

He's like, I want that. Excuse me. I want that back. So funny. Usually Trent is our holiday Santa every year for the past four years. Right.

[Noah]

Grocery store show. Was it one year?

[Ria]

Right. Right. Because Joey Kamasa was supposed to be Santa, and then he bailed.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

So then Grocery Store Joe came in to do it, but Trent has done it for, I think, maybe three years in a row. Yeah. And Trent, you know, last minute, we were like, hey, Trent, can you do Santa? And he was like, nope, I'm busy.

[Fran]

And we did ask him months ago.

[Noah]

Well, the thing is, he.

[Fran]

And then tried again.

[Noah]

He did say yes, originally. And then he was like, I can't. I have a trip. And I was just like, oh, of course you have a trip. Blah, blah, blah. And then I saw what he was doing this past weekend, and it was like a giant event with Adidas.

[Elizabeth]

It was huge.

[Noah]

He was putting on, like, his own live show, like, for the entire Adidas company, it looked like. So I'm like, it's a valid excuse.

[Ria]

Valid. They are crushing it.

[Fran]

We'll accept that.

[Ria]

We will. We'll accept that excuse.

[Fran]

We have no snarky banter for that.

[Ria]

Yes. So then Noah hit me with a Would Marty be Santa? And I was like, you know, if you guys come calling, he will answer the call. Yeah. And I was like, will you. Will you be Santa? And he was like, yeah, of course I'll be Santa. He came in, very skinny Santa.

[Fran]

Skinny Santa.

[Ria]

Skinny Santa. But I was so pumped because he. He came in. I was not expecting this. He was dancing down the aisle. Oh, my God. You know, he was getting jiggy with it down the aisle. I was like, oh, he is loving this. And that was so cute not to.

[Fran]

When you get to be Santa, right.

[Ria]

When you're.

[Fran]

Everyone's looking at you like Santa, right?

[Ria]

You're like, oh, my God. Well, this is my time to shine. And then the Santa Persona just comes right out. It does. So that was so cute and fun, and I was so happy that he got to do that. And it was. It was just making us laugh so much backstage because we were like, you look like. Like a bookie Santa. Because he was wearing, like, a backwards hat without the full Santa costume on at one point, which was. Which was making us laugh. But that was so fun.

[Fran]

And, like, the perfectly white sneakers.

[Ria]

Yeah. Crisp air force ones. It was. It was so good, and it was so funny. But that was a. That was the highlight of our week. And now we're just headed into the weekend, so how are we feeling?

[Fran]

I know. I know. I'm excited for the weekend. We were talking on Wednesday. You were like, fred, you Got any plans this weekend? I was like, no, not really. And then I just went through each day and, like, had plans on each day, and she was like, you have plans?

[Elizabeth]

She go.

[Ria]

I go, you got. What are you doing this weekend? I said, any plan? She goes, zip. Got nothing. And then she goes, on this day we're doing, we got this on this. I said, that's. That's not nothing. You have. You have plans every day.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

Zip to me, is the world's your oyster, and you got nothing planned. And you could just take the world by storm.

[Fran]

Gosh. You know when you start to feel like your bra, like, is. Is not fitting and it's just something you need to fix immediately? I'm like, I need to pull my strap.

[Ria]

I feel you. I. I'm wearing.

[Fran]

What the Is going on?

[Ria]

What I thought was, like, a cute. Like, it is cute off the shoulder thing. I do think it's cute. But my bra strap keeps showing because it keeps falling. It's not really supposed to be off the shoulder, so it keeps falling off the shoulder. My bra strap keeps going. I feel like I'm in sticky. I'm gonna get fined for my bra strap.

[Fran]

I'm like, how did my straps even get this low in the first place? I never wear them like this.

[Ria]

You need me to adjust.

[Fran]

I think I got it.

[Ria]

Just a quick. A quick adjustment on the pod. Yeah.

[Fran]

So much better.

[Bobby Burke]

Oh, my God.

[Fran]

Sometimes I'm feeling. I'm like, you know the. You know when you get the. Like, the gap. And I felt like I had that. It was really just because my straps weren't tight enough.

[Ria]

Right now you feel locked in.

[Fran]

We're back in business.

[Elizabeth]

Good.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Wasn't that such a defining moment as a young woman watching Stick it? And she gets fined for her bra strap or she gets the points taken off because of her damn strap deduction.

[Fran]

It's a deduction.

[Ria]

And then everybody on the team joined forces, and they said it, and they went and they just pulled their straps out and was like, give it a little flick and, like, a rock on. I kind of heard a little.

[Noah]

I never seen that. That sounds like the end of, like, dead poet society, where they're like, oh, Captain, my cat. They all start saying the same thing.

[Ria]

Yeah, no, you should watch. It's. It's a really. You've never seen a changing moment?

[Fran]

No, I actually think you would, like, Stick it.

[Ria]

Is it like, Joe loves sticks.

[Noah]

What is it, like, a cheerleading movie?

[Ria]

Gymnastics. It's not called gymnastics. Yeah.

[Fran]

Burn.

[Ria]

I got your ass. Yeah.

[Fran]

[Ria]

Yeah. And Jeff Bridges.

[Fran]

And Jeff Bridges.

[Ria]

Yeah, he's the coach.

[Noah]

This is a Disney movie?

[Ria]

No.

[Noah]

Oh, I thought it was a Disney movie.

[Ria]

It's not a Disney movie. No.

[Noah]

Oh, I don't know why I said oh like that. I don't know what that was.

[Ria]

Is it ringing a bell? Missy Peregrine.

[Fran]

Missy Peregrine. Miss, that's the actress who plays Hayley Graham. And she looks just like Hilary Swank, but she isn't Hilary Swank. You see her picture?

[Noah]

Yeah. I was picturing when you said the person who looks like Hilary Swank but isn't Hilary Swank, I thought you were talking about the one from Fired Up. You know that lady?

[Ria]

Yes. Molly Sims.

[Noah]

Is that what her name is?

[Ria]

Yeah, but Molly Sims. Oh, I don't think Molly Simmons. I feel like they're thinking of Molly Sims.

[Noah]

No, not Molly Sims. Is it Molly Sims.

[Ria]

Molly Sims is in Fired Up.

[Noah]

Fired Up? No, I was thinking of. I don't know who I was.

[Ria]

Are you sure you weren't thinking of Molly Sims in Fired Up?

[Noah]

Is Molly Sims like the older teacher in Fired Up?

[Ria]

What do you mean by older?

[Noah]

Like she was like the instructor of all the.

[Ria]

Is that Molly Sims? Just type in Molly Sims Fired Up.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah. Molly Sims.

[Ria]

Yeah, you were thinking of Molly Sims. Yeah, they don't really look like. Maybe it was the haircut.

[Fran]

Yeah, maybe they. They don't really look alike. Also, when you Google Fired up cast, Molly Sims doesn't come up on here.

[Ria]

Really?

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Interesting. She was in that show Vegas, right? Or Las Vegas.

[Noah]

I don't even know that show, really.

[Fran]

Vegas.

[Ria]

I'm throwing a lot of things at Noah right now.

[Fran]

That's the show that Josh Duhamel was in.

[Ria]

Yes, Las Vegas with Molly Sims and. And Josh Dumal.

[Fran]

Oh, she was? Yeah. Okay.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Elizabeth]

Yep.

[Fran]

For sure. I see.

[Noah]

It's called Lost Vegas.

[Ria]

No, it was called Las Vegas.

[Noah]

I like this. Like the actual place.

[Ria]

Yeah, like the actual city.

[Fran]

You know, I actually see it more.

[Noah]

Noah a little bit, but no offense to either. I think Molly Sims is. I'm not even gonna say.

[Ria]

You think she's more attractive.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You're more attracted to Molly Sims than I used to.

[Noah]

Like, I used to watch Fired up just for her.

[Ria]

Damn. Fired up changed you. Yep.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Well, you have to put Stick it on your. On your wall.

[Noah]

Stick.

[Fran]

It really is great.

[Ria]

You know, it's just a life changing moment. Jeff Bridges. Let Me tell you, he should have won awards for that movie.

[Fran]

Jeff Bridges just, he's really good with.

[Ria]

That moment, you know, when it's like things just really turn emotional in that movie. Yeah. He can really hit your heart. Yeah. You know, totally. When she, when she's, she finds out that he, she thinks he's doing it just because of, you know, and she storms out and they're like, it's a little bit of a tiff, but then they come back together. Amazing film. I might watch later. Now I'm inspired.

[Fran]

Right. It's just talking about it. Yeah.

[Ria]

It is a good one. No one can watch and give us a play by play.

[Noah]

Yeah, I probably won't.

[Ria]

Oh, dang it. I thought you would have watched.

[Noah]

How are you not gonna watch the J. Kelly movie though, if you're, if you love George Clooney so much?

[Ria]

You know, I am going to watch.

[Noah]

I thought you were like not going to watch it because I, I said.

[Ria]

I was going to watch it tonight. It's not getting like this was an off camera conversation. But I said, noah, are you the one who said you didn't like J. Kelly? And he said, yeah, I'm not. Said I was going to watch it tonight, but I'm still going to watch it, I believe. Even based off of your. Because you said it wasn't terrible.

[Noah]

It wasn't terrible.

[Fran]

Yeah. Lackluster review, I think I also saw Clemmer make a video about it.

[Noah]

Oh, he hated it.

[Ria]

He hated it. I'm not sure, like Clemmer and I.

[Fran]

Have the same case. I do agree with you on that. So I think you're fine. I'm just saying maybe that like came across your feed and you saw it for a second.

[Noah]

You know, it had a lot of potential, I think is what I'm seeing. Like other people say as well, and it just didn't maximize.

[Ria]

Cause you got George Clooney, you got.

[Noah]

Adam Sanders, you got all these great. You have a Billy Crudup in it. Like you have great actors and kind of a good premise and I don't know.

[Ria]

Kind of a good premise.

[Fran]

Kind of a good premise.

[Ria]

It's hilarious. Dozens of people having an okay time watching J. Kelly.

[Noah]

Someone had a sign that said that.

[Ria]

Apparently they did in the upper balcony. They did. Which you know what? I think that I would hope people had more than an okay time because I had a fantastic time.

[Fran]

For sure.

[Ria]

You know? For sure. All right, shall we move on?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You seem like you're done with the conversation.

[Fran]

No, you know, let me tell you something. I have been operating on the lowest frequency maybe that I have ever operated at.

[Ria]

You need to. You need to be plugged in.

[Fran]

Majorly, majorly. I need. I don't know. I don't know. What if it's like, the studio lights or if I'm dealing with, like, an allergy thing? You know, when you have to turn your heat on in your apartment, I gotta get it checked or gotta get it cleaned. I saw a TikTok about this, actually, recently of a girl being like, I got my. The air ducts cleaned or whatever the fuck it is, like the vent for the air. And she was like, it was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. Just, like, covered in dust, you know? And it's not something you can do on your own.

[Ria]

And it doesn't mean you want to see.

[Fran]

No, it really, really doesn't. And I have like a. I have a very, like, dust is my kryptonite.

[Ria]

Just like Mandy Moore with Vince.

[Fran]

And let me tell you, when we have to turn the air on in the apartment, I. It cripples me. It's like I can't see. And this has been something I can't see.

[Ria]

No.

[Fran]

Like, my eyes look shut. My eyes shut. They're so itchy. Eyes have closed my eyes. No.

[Ria]

In the song that she can't see now.

[Claudia]

No.

[Fran]

It's terrible.

[Ria]

Okay. Timothy Chalamet filming Marty Supreme.

[Fran]

But I don't know what it is. It's just been lingering. My eyes feel so heavy.

[Ria]

The allergy thing has been going on for a while.

[Fran]

Heavy and heavy and itchy. I know, but it goes through.

[Ria]

Goes through weights and downs and stuff.

[Fran]

Sometimes it's okay, but right now it's like.

[Ria]

I'm like, it's not okay.

[Fran]

No. And the light. Something with the lights in here recently have been crushing me.

[Noah]

I will say that nothing has changed with the lights.

[Fran]

No, I. It's me. It's not the lights. It's just like I'm developing more of a sensitivity to the lights.

[Noah]

Start swearing.

[Ria]

So what's that song going to? Changes?

[Noah]

Yeah. That's Black Sabbath.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah. That's actually awesome.

[Fran]

But I'm.

[Ria]

Let me tell you, I am singing it on such an awful tune. But I'm so glad that you were able to nail what I was saying.

[Fran]

Because I have no idea what this changes.

[Noah]

Black Sab before I knew that by them I. It was the Eminem song where he said. Remember that?

[Ria]

Yes. Oh, my God. So true. That just brought back. You just hear something, it brings back a memory you know?

[Fran]

Yeah. You know, like when people say a word and it's. You have to think of, like, the first song that comes to mind when you think of it changes. What comes to mind with changes?

[Ria]

Is it Tupac?

[Noah]

Bowie.

[Ria]

Mine was original. I was gonna say David Bowie. I felt wrong, but Tupac has a song Changes. No.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah. That's like.

[Fran]

What's the one that's like Turn the Beat Around.

[Ria]

Ch. Ch. Ch.

[Fran]

Oh, that's David Bowie. No, that's. It's not. It's not two different songs.

[Ria]

You were singing Turn the Beat Around.

[Fran]

No, I wasn't, but that's what he says.

[Ria]

Come and face the stage.

[Noah]

I played this in a car ride home yesterday.

[Ria]

That's what it is. It's.

[Fran]

Oh, is that just me really saying.

[Ria]

Or maybe I'm singing the wrong words?

[Fran]

No, I'm sure I am.

[Ria]

Turn the beat around.

[Noah]

That's a different. That's like, Turn the beat.

[Fran]

No, it's like Turn and face the strain.

[Ria]

Okay. So we were combining. Come and face the stage. Turn and face the strain.

[Fran]

Yeah. I mean, I don't yet. Turn the beat around is what I was saying. So. Turn and face the stranger Changes yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Time will change you But I can't change time Is that in Confessions About Teenage Drama Queen? Yes.

[Fran]

There you go.

[Noah]

It's also in Shrek.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Powerful song.

[Noah]

It was on my top 30.

[Ria]

Really? That's a good one.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I like a lot of David Bowie songs like that. Magic Dance.

[Noah]

See, that's not something like that. That's a. More.

[Fran]

Who also has a. Oh, Justin Bieber.

[Ria]

Popular name changes.

[Fran]

That's also what I think of.

[Ria]

Did you see when you just mentioned Eminem? Did you see that Eminem beat a.

[Noah]

Oh, that is crazy.

[Ria]

In sane. Can I read the lyrics to this.

[Fran]

While you look for this? Let me. I would like to make a confession. As I've been watching the Diddy documentary, I've come to learn I really didn't know what Diddy did.

[Noah]

Like, I just like, what job was.

[Fran]

Yeah. If you had asked me before this, I would have been like, he's a rapper.

[Noah]

I mean, he technically was like.

[Fran]

I would be like, he's a music. Like, he's an artist.

[Noah]

You thought he was just, like, an artist.

[Ria]

I didn't.

[Fran]

I truly had no idea of, like, the management side of what he was doing. I had like. I. I think if you were to ask me before, I would have said, oh, he was a. An artist, you know, himself. Musician. And then he, like, became an entrepreneur. He did the Ciroc stuff, the Sean John, like I would have said. Then he became a businessman, and then, like, the whole record company. Nothing. I had.

[Noah]

The movie. Notorious is actually a great movie now.

[Ria]

Seen it?

[Noah]

Yeah. Now looking back, they kind of, like, portray P. Diddy in, like, a good way, but that's a good movie, and it tells the story of, like.

[Ria]

Yeah. I mean, my guy came out, so my brain was a little.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

This documentary. I mean, my God, he. He had his hand in everything he did. He's just.

[Ria]

Well, that's why he had making the band, because he. Yeah. Knew what he was doing.

[Fran]

I'm just. I just. I really. I come to learn as. As I was, like, half finishing the second episode, I had to admit to myself, I really had no idea what Diddy was doing, like, in the early 2000s. Had no clue his involvement in all of this.

[Ria]

You didn't know what he was doing musically. You didn't know what he was doing behind the scenes personally. Nope. Yeah, nope. There was a.

[Fran]

Once he started singing some songs, I was like, oh, this is what I remember.

[Noah]

You're like the actor Pete Diddy. Get into the grease.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

So Eminem put out this song called Fuel years ago. Okay. And the lyrics to this song are exactly what is described in this documentary, which is insane that it just takes years for people to put this together. But Eminem and 50 Cent have clearly been yelling about it for years. Mind you, I'm gonna say some graphic words, so just a warning. He says, I'm like a raper, got so many sas. Wait, he didn't just spell the word rapper and leave out a P. Did he get it? P. Diddy.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

When rap. Okay, Then the article says, when rap, the lyrics, P. Diddy. It clearly sounds like P. Diddy. Thank you very much, Hollywood Reporter. And then it moves on to rip. Rest in peace, Biggie and Pac. Both of y' all should be living. But I ain't trying to beef with him because he might put a hit on me like Keith did him. So he's clearly saying in here, rest in peace to Biggie and Tupac.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

But I'm afraid to say something right now, because I don't want to hit out on me.

[Fran]

Right. Even though he's saying a lot.

[Ria]

Keefe D. It's kind of. I think it's Keefe D. Yeah.

[Noah]

It's kind of crazy that it seems like everyone in the industry, like, had an idea that he was just, like, this terrible human being, like, getting people killed. And just.

[Fran]

My God, did I not know? Like, and I just. Obviously, when all the lawsuits started happening and, like, the stuff with Cassie, it was like, oh, shit, okay, he's awful. But hearing, like, the multiple, like, events that he was at or around where people were dying or shot or, like, gun charges or. I didn't realize the amount of times he, like, almost went to jail and got out of going to jail, like, multiple times. I was like, I had no clue.

[Ria]

He's got some bad energy surrounding him, obviously, because he's a bad guy for sure. But the final episode, before you get to it, it is very, very sad to see his former, like, best friend and business partner, Kirk, who is in the documentary.

[Fran]

What a sweet man, by the way. And honestly, every time he speaks and he's telling these stories, I'm like, good for him for doing this, because that's also gotta be scary.

[Ria]

It is very scary.

[Fran]

It's gotta be very scary for him to be. To reveal all these things and all these stories, because that's dangerous for him.

[Ria]

Yeah. And he vocalizes even more in the final episode, I believe. Right. Like, more about what Diddy did to him or made him do. And it's. You feel really bad for that.

[Noah]

The thing is, like, they had filmed all this, I think, like, these interviews, I think took place where they didn't at the time know, like, what his sentencing was gonna be. So I feel like now it's like, oh, this came out. When they did these interviews, they probably thought, hopefully he'll be, like, locked up forever. But he's like, now he's a few more years.

[Ria]

Right? Right. Oh, God, it is really insane. Just a terrible human being. And that Eminem song, that's wild. Everyone's like, oh, my God, it's right in front of our eyes. And, you know, you just listen to a song, you think, oh, Eminem, so clever.

[Noah]

You rap, so fascinated. So you just.

[Ria]

Right, you really got to dissect.

[Fran]

That's so true.

[Ria]

We should be dissecting some more songs. I guess you should really go through all his lyrics and really put it together. And then the Hollywood Reporter can write, did he? Did he? All right, let's move on to some topics. We're going to be talking about Kylie and Timothy stepping out for the Marty supreme premiere in matching orange Matt Gala co chairs were announced. Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Beyonce. And the theme is costume art. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson did have a short, little maybe, situationship going on, but that has ended. And we have a great interview with Bobby Burke and a great game of trivia. So let's get into it.

[Fran]

Abercrombie's new party collection just dropped and there are looks for every invite. Satin sparkle sequence for all those nights out. New Year's Eve is right around the corner, guys. I know if you're already starting to think about that New Year's Eve outfit, Abercrombie has you covered. Plus of course all of our staples and the amazing things we love, like their denim going out tops, cute sweaters, trench coats, faux fur coats, vegan leather jackets. The faux fur coat that I got recently, oh my God, I am obsessed. I wear it all the time. I've gotten so many compliments on it. People love the coat and I know Ria loves her leather jackets from Abercrombie. She is always rocking those. You can also jump into the ypb. Abercrombie's active brand. They drop new designs all the time. Love working out in the YPB gear. It's soft, comfortable and you can really layer it for pre post workout, whatever you want.

[Ria]

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet stepped out for the Marty supreme premiere. They were both wearing orange, posing together. The crowd went crazy over this, as did we. We were so excited to see this because I love any chance that we can get a glimpse of these two. And I love picturing Club Chalamet after she got her Rolling Stone cover. Just stomping her feet around town.

[Fran]

My gosh, she's got a Rolling Stone cover now.

[Ria]

Wall Street. Wall Street Journal. Sorry. It just was funny to think about. But no, no, I mean still.

[Fran]

Yeah, no. 100.

[Ria]

Still insane. I wasn't here that day.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah.

[Ria]

When you and Kelly talked about it, I forgot to even mention on the show that I got nails in multiple tires and my car got a recall on the steering wheel. I was driving very unsafely. It was a whole big thing.

[Fran]

Steering wheel, very important in a car.

[Ria]

Steering wheel, extremely important. Also your tires, Both two tires having nails in them. No good. No good. And it was snowing as a whole thing. I got it fixed. But I was sorry.

[Fran]

No, sorry. I have a car story. I'll tell you after.

[Ria]

I was just gonna say that one of the topics that day was the Club Wall Street Journal story. And I was like, oh my God, I can't believe I'm gonna miss this. Like I. I hear that she was.

[Noah]

On the COVID of Rolling Stone is.

[Ria]

The funniest thing ever. You know who's on the COVID of Rolling stone today? Tate McCray.

[Noah]

Yeah, it went from Club Salvatore to Tate McCrae.

[Ria]

You should.

[Fran]

Club Shell's on the COVID She's on a guitar. I mean, she's got a Timothy Shell in the poster.

[Noah]

I might do that right now.

[Ria]

Club Chalamet's face on Kate McCrae.

[Noah]

Did you see the pictures of her in Wall Street Journal?

[Ria]

Yes, I did.

[Noah]

It would actually work for Trust Me.

[Ria]

On the COVID That's why I remember we were sitting at our desk when it first came out. It came out on Monday and I.

[Fran]

Was excited about how ridiculous the pictures were.

[Ria]

It was ridiculous, but I just pictured Club Chalamet just stomping her feet around, seeing these pictures on the. On the carpet. What were you going to say about that?

[Fran]

No, I was going to say that. Did you know that I was in the car with security, Mike. And did you know that over the summer he was driving up the turnpike and somebody threw, or what he thinks threw some sort of bottle out their window. He thinks it's coming out of the other side of, you know, traffic, and it went straight through his windshield and hit him in the face. What? And he was like gushing blood and he was like. He like veered off the road. He was able to get off the side, but he said it was like a perfect hole through the windshield and that it must have been a glass bottle because he couldn't find, like what came through. But it was like all little teeny shatter pieces of glass that just like.

[Ria]

How do we not know about this?

[Fran]

No, I guess, you know, I guess posted on Social at the time, but I had not seen.

[Bobby Burke]

Seen it.

[Ria]

No, we didn't see it. And. And Mike's like a stealth guy. Like he's moving quickly.

[Fran]

Well, he was like, yeah. And he was like, yeah, I got to work, like right after.

[Ria]

Right. Like he's not. Nothing stopping his day. Like he's going to work no matter what.

[Fran]

I was like, my God. Yeah, you could have been. Seriously.

[Ria]

Like, that's insane.

[Fran]

Because I was like. Was it big shards of glass? He was like, no, it must have shattered into such tiny pieces. But he was showing me the picture. He's got blood coming down his whole face.

[Ria]

That is really insane.

[Fran]

I know.

[Ria]

Holy. Well, crazy Mike.

[Fran]

Crazy, crazy, crazy car story.

[Ria]

That's insane. Yeah.

[Fran]

Anyway.

[Ria]

Anyway, Timothy and Kylie, they're on the carpet. I have to say this. I'm very excited to see this movie. It comes out Christmas Day. There was a new article that came out that Timothee Chalamet purposely wore contacts to fuck up his eyesight so that he would have to then get real prescription glasses to play this role. Yeah, I do not like this. I think that this is really just too far. Unnecessary. And Kristen Stewart talked recently about how you only ever hear guys doing the method acting thing. You know what I mean? And I just feel like, does Timothy know you could just get a pair of glass? Like, why can't you just act like you got bad eyesight, Timmy? Why do you actually have to give yourself bad eyesight?

[Fran]

He had to immerse himself into the role.

[Ria]

Okay. Immerse yourself with a fake prescription pair glasses like we all own when we're not wearing makeup. You know what I mean? Like, it's. To me, that is like, do less, Timmy. You know? Like, we know we got it. You're working hard. You don't hear Leonardo DiCaprio yapping away. Oh, I purposely lost my eyesight for this movie. He just acts and he gets it.

[Noah]

Although Leonardo DiCaprio did go inside the carcass of a real bear for the Revenant, which. It's like he could have got into a fake bear. No one would have known.

[Fran]

Also true.

[Ria]

In the movie, he went in.

[Noah]

It was a real carcass, a real shot.

[Ria]

Like in the movie. He's going into the bear.

[Noah]

Yeah. Like, when he, like, in the movie goes inside the bear, that's a real bear.

[Ria]

Yeah. Like, to me, that's a little bit different than losing your eyesight when you could just put on glasses. Free glasses. You don't actually have to get. Nobody could see what you're seeing. Timmy.

[Fran]

Yeah, but, you know, he felt like he needed to. To really be Marty. He had to. He had to know what not being able to see was like.

[Ria]

Listen, if we're gonna give Austin Butler shit for the way he acted.

[Fran]

No, 100%.

[Ria]

I have to give Timothy Chalamet shit for this whole eyeglass stint.

[Fran]

Well, he's really. He's been cracking me up because he.

[Noah]

I just sent you the Rolling Stone.

[Ria]

Oh, my God, I gotta pee my pants. I had to pee this whole time, and I think I just went.

[Bobby Burke]

I can't.

[Fran]

Yeah, rock star. That's a rock star right there. Honestly, we may manifest. We may manifest this for her.

[Ria]

I actually just, like, literally think I.

[Elizabeth]

Like, peed my pants a little bit.

[Ria]

It. Oh, my God. I'm wearing, like, the same belt as her right now.

[Noah]

She's wearing a complete Unknown shirt too.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Should I send this to Kelly right now and be like, Kelly, can you believe that she's also on. Wait, I'm just going to send that. Oh, my God, I'm in tears.

[Noah]

We. We would have to come up with like, you know how they have like a little slogan like on the bottom, like.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You need to Club Shout. Like there needs to be a little byline on the, you know, in the corner.

[Ria]

That funny. Wow. Wow. That really got. I have like tears coming from my eyes. Oh, my God.

[Fran]

Yeah. It needs to be like Club Shalamet. Her take on fame.

[Noah]

Timothy and the Brains behind Timothy.

[Fran]

Yeah, the brain. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Oh, wow.

[Ria]

Oh, my God.

[Fran]

That just made my Inside the Brains infamous Club Sh.

[Ria]

That's your Christmas gift. I'm printing that out into like a full magazine.

[Noah]

Hang that up on the wall in here.

[Ria]

And every page is just quotes from what Club Chalamet has said in recent years.

[Noah]

Yeah, just a whole page about just.

[Fran]

Like pictures of Kylie Jenner with her like giving a side eye in the corner.

[Ria]

Let's just. Oh, my God.

[Fran]

That is all those.

[Ria]

So fudgeing funny.

[Noah]

Wow.

[Ria]

Oh, my God.

[Fran]

What I was going to say was. Did you guys see Timothy has really like, he. He's not holding back in his confidence right now, which I'm like, you know what? Fair.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

He has been crushing people. Turn a little bit on it.

[Fran]

I don't want to fight anyone. Them a little because when he like in that one interview, he's like, look, I've been worked seven, eight years of just like hit after hit, top level shit.

[Noah]

I'm giving. The thing is, I have seen Gucci here. I said, he saw the movie and he said that he thinks this is like kind of intertwined with like his character where it's like a little bit.

[Fran]

But I once again, the method acting, it's like, well, get out of the role, pal. Now you're doing press.

[Noah]

I love Timothy Chalamet. Like, I'm. I'm a supporter.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

But I.

[Fran]

You don't need to do press as him.

[Noah]

But I did think to myself, if this was like Austin Butler saying this, I'd be like, you'd be furious. Like kind of hypocrite.

[Fran]

You'd be legit furious.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

So I was like, there's a lot of people. There's not many people that could say this where I'd be like, yeah, good for them.

[Ria]

No, and Timothy is a very likable guy and people love that. He seems to like, you know, Shoot the shit with the fans and like really get in there and get in the mix. But he did the same thing with Bob Dylan. He went on all these shows and was like, I have never committed to a role like I did with Bob Dylan. And now he's doing with Marty Supreme. He's like, I've never committed to a role like I did this. And it's like, Timmy, we get it.

[Noah]

You know, like he's too desperate for an Oscar.

[Fran]

No, no.

[Ria]

And here's the thing. I, I like I said I don't want to knock people's confidence because I think you should be confident in what you do. Why are you doing it then if you are not confident? And we all, you know, not to get inspirational, but we all go through phases of not being confident in ourself. We're kind of knocking ourselves down and being self deprecating because it's always good to be self aware and self deprecating as well. But it's also okay to have confidence in yourself and what you do for a living. Like, this is Timothy's job. He knows he is really good at it and that is great. But it's the, you know, it's the way they, I guess just like the way things are worded when it's like movie after movie and he's saying, and we're like, we, we know you're killing it, bud.

[Fran]

Let's not forget that. In this article is reminding me that at the SAG Awards he did say he wanted, you know, he named all the greats and he was like, I want to be up there.

[Ria]

So he's dedicated and you got to give him props.

[Noah]

But he said his top two actors of all time are Denzel and Christian Bale, which honestly, I like are my top.

[Ria]

Yeah, those, I mean, those are great choices. It's just like, we don't need you to lose your eyesight, Timmy, because now you fucked up your eyesight going forward. And what if your next role is playing somebody who has supersonic vision? What the hell are you going to do next? Yeah, you're going to eat a lot of carrots, right? Because you fucked up your eyesight with this one.

[Fran]

Apparently this interview was taken down. I don't know if that's true, but the quote is, this is probably my best performance. You know, it's been like seven, eight years and I feel like I've been handing in really, really committed, top of the line performances. And it's important to say it out loud because the discipline and the work ethic I'm bringing to these things. I don't want people to take it for granted. I don't want to take it for. I don't want to take it for granted. This is really some top level shit.

[Noah]

Don't take it for granted.

[Ria]

I guess it's like, I don't know why I keep going back to Leonardo DiCaprio. And I guess it's just because people compare the two and they're like, Timmy's the new. I don't think Leonardo DiCaprio has never, after any movie been like, this was my best role or I'm hanging top of. He just puts it out and you're like, wow, Leo is fantastic. And he moves it along to the next one. You're like, wow, Leo's fantastic in this. He's not. But. But it's a different kind of world now where people are online a lot and. And, you know. Yeah, I think it's just because he's a likable guy where we can kind of find the, you know, likability in this. Where, like you said, if it's Austin Butler, I'm like, we got him Butler.

[Noah]

Like, if we're being real, like, he's a likable guy. I think, like, I actually, I'm not like, oh, Austin Butler.

[Ria]

No, yeah, yeah, let's be likable. But not as. But, you know, none of them are relatable. But just in that way.

[Noah]

Do you feel like it's like the Internet just decided, like, we all love Timothy Chalamet and it's for some reason, it's like, we're going to make fun of Austin Butler. Like, I think I forget who it was, but I saw a tweet that was like, we shit on this person for them saying way less than Timothy said.

[Ria]

That's true. That's true.

[Fran]

Totally. I also think that he is. He is right that he has. The work does speak for itself, which is also one of the things I think it's like, pretty universally thought that he has done some amazing work in all these projects. Like, I think it's like when you compare, you guys keep comparing to Austin Butler is like, you'd probably say you don't like most of the things he does. You know I'm saying, so it's like you'd be like, oh, he's got all this arrogance and he can't stand behind it. But imagine it's like Timothy is like, everybody really does love all the shit. Every. He is churning out some top level shit.

[Noah]

Imagine if Adrian Brody said this like, we would. I would have been like, this is.

[Ria]

Such an asshole, Adrian Brody.

[Noah]

And, like, he's objectively a great actor. I can't take that away from him.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But he just has a different arrogance to him. But no.

[Fran]

And I feel bad that I didn't.

[Ria]

Seem like Austin Butler is not likable, because he is likable.

[Fran]

It.

[Ria]

Timmy's way more, like, online, some might say. And I think maybe that's why, like, you. You just hear him a lot more. He's out. You see him out a lot more.

[Noah]

People say, like, he treats every movie like it's an album release. Like, he. The marketing for his movies are, like, very cool, the way he does it.

[Ria]

Yeah, this one has been very cool. And them, Kylie, Jenner and Timothy stepping out on the carpet together. Super cool.

[Fran]

I love their love.

[Ria]

I don't know anything about it, but.

[Fran]

And I like that. It's like everyone's been speculating that they broke up.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

So I feel like this was a fun way to be. Like, we're good. I think they keep full orange. It was not low key, which was also great. Which I also feel like all comes into play here with what he's been doing. Like, the press for this movie has definitely been over the top and his looks have been over the top. And. Yeah, I think you could probably go into the whole.

[Noah]

Oh.

[Fran]

Pulling part of the character into doing the carpets and, like, all these things. I feel like that was felt in this. In this red carpet look.

[Ria]

For sure.

[Fran]

He had the ping pong paddle bag.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And the whole.

[Ria]

The whole look. Yeah. I. I kind of like that, though. Like, when Zendaya did, like, the tennis ball shoes for Challenger.

[Fran]

Totally.

[Ria]

Like, you know, lean into it a little bit.

[Fran]

Right. Margot Robbie's a bunch of different Barbies. Like, it's like. Yeah, it makes sense.

[Ria]

Orange is such a. Like, a bold color, though, and it really makes a statement. And I love that for them.

[Fran]

It does.

[Ria]

I. I am so rooting for these two. I'm so rooting for their love. I love that they've been going strong, and I. I keep supporting them.

[Fran]

Y see that? He was also asked in an interview. I think it was maybe. I don't know where he was, but the woman asked him what he would be getting Kylie for Christmas, and he was like, she will see. It's good.

[Ria]

Big reveal.

[Fran]

Yeah, she will see. And they're like, fair. She will see. You do not have to tell us.

[Ria]

Right. Also, why would he. Why would he tell?

[Fran]

100%.

[Ria]

Yeah. She's going to see that.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Silly question.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah.

[Fran]

What are you going to. I'm going to tell you what I'm getting Kylie Jenner. I haven't even told her she doesn't get to see the gift. Yeah, nice try, nice try.

[Noah]

Do you think they've agreed to not post each other on their Instagram accounts? Because they never have. Like she's posting like from the Marty supreme premiere, but just of herself. But then these pictures come out because they're on Getty.

[Fran]

Right. Right. I mean they're literally walking the red carpet.

[Noah]

Yeah, they're walking the red carpet posing. But then they won't like actually post together. Maybe anything.

[Ria]

Like, maybe it's a.

[Fran]

Maybe that's a conscious decision rule that they've. My guess would be yes. Because at that point it's like you must talk about that.

[Ria]

Right. Because you know, you don't want to throw the picture of you two in the slide.

[Elizabeth]

Right.

[Ria]

It's real cute.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah. Well, maybe that's just a decision they made.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

Yeah, the co chairs are Nicole Kidman, Beyonce and Venus Williams. I love this trio. This is a fantastic trio to me. And the theme is costume art.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Now I feel like sometimes with the theme people are like, oh, this is not so straightforward. Da da. Da. You know, your inter, your interpretation of the meaning. Costume art. We're getting a lot of costumes. I feel like we're getting a lot of costumes for sure.

[Fran]

I mean it's right there. I think it's. I'd imagine that is definitely the case. And those three. Incredible. Really, really incredible. In the Vogue article it says this springs event will mark Beyonce's first Met Gala appearance in a decade. She last walked the met steps in 2016. Kidman and Williams, meanwhile, have made regular appearances over the years, including at the Superfine Gala this past May. Her and and Venus were both there. The new. And then there was also the news that Anthony Vaccarello and Zoe Kravitz will co chair the 2026 Met Gala host committee with additional members including Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Gwendolyn Christie, Alex Consani, Missy Copeland, Elizabeth Debicki, Lena Dunham, Paloma Elsa Elser. I don't know who that is. Paloma Elser, Lisa Sam Smith, Chloe Malley, Teyana Taylor, Lauren Wasser, Anna Wyant, Aja Wilson. There's a lot, a lot of names.

[Noah]

That's a good group though.

[Fran]

But I'm like, what's the name's your name in the post Committee? Maybe this is more host committee members will be announced at a later date. They're just on the committee. They're not hosts, but they're on the committee.

[Ria]

You know what? Fuck yeah. I would love to be a part of the committee. And that sounds like whoever you named. I liked all of them. So I said, you know what, that's a good, that's a good committee right there.

[Fran]

Costume Art, curated by Andrew Bolton, will explore the relationship between clothing and the body beneath. The show, organized into a series of thematic body types ranging from the naked body to the pregnant body to the aging body, will include garments and artworks from across the Met's vast collection and feature both historical and contemporary pieces from the Costume Institute. Moreover, Costume Art will be the first show held in the Met's new Conde Nast galleries, a nearly 12,000 square foot space adjacent to the Great Hall.

[Ria]

I feel like this is going to be a really good one, really interesting pieces. We're going to see a lot of archival pieces coming out and I think that the co chairs are to me, I would love to sit at a table with these three women. Like we've already talked about it a lot. I mean, who doesn't want to sit with Beyonce?

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah.

[Ria]

On top of that, Nicole Kidman, we'd love to have a conversation with her and just Figure out who Nicole Kidman is like. And then Venus Williams.

[Fran]

Williams.

[Ria]

Icon.

[Fran]

Legend. Yeah, exactly.

[Ria]

It's just a great. I was gonna say pairing, but it's three, so it's not pairing, but whatever. Great. Three women to threesome. Yeah. I could have went with that.

[Noah]

Trio.

[Fran]

Trio.

[Ria]

Trio. Those are the words that I'm looking for. It's a great trio. Great threesome for the Met Gala.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Which is always exciting.

[Noah]

Like, are they having, like, meetings, the three of them? Like, what do they actually do?

[Fran]

Great question.

[Ria]

Couldn't tell you, but I know. Should we ask. Should we ask anybody?

[Noah]

I don't know.

[Fran]

Ask anybody.

[Ria]

What do the co chairs do?

[Fran]

Ask.

[Ria]

They have a lot of meetings with Anna.

[Noah]

But Anna's out now, right?

[Ria]

She's out of Vogue, but not.

[Fran]

She's not gone to the Met Gala. She's still.

[Noah]

Oh, I thought that story was like, She's. She was, like, done.

[Fran]

Oh, no, her name is still listed.

[Noah]

I guess if I was there, too, I'd be like, I'm stepping down.

[Fran]

Let me tell you something. I am ready. Why do we have to change everything all the time on our phones? This liquid glass thing, I'm over it. I can't figure out how to go to another page in my safari.

[Ria]

Damn.

[Fran]

You know how there's that little button you could press and then it would open all the pages and you go to another one. It's gone now. You gotta go like this.

[Ria]

Oh, that's really annoying.

[Fran]

You gotta. You gotta just pinch.

[Ria]

That's very annoying.

[Noah]

I don't wanna know how to change that.

[Fran]

Yeah, there has to be. But it's so freaking annoying.

[Ria]

That is really annoying.

[Fran]

They're ambassadors. A list ambassadors who help plan the event with. With.

[Ria]

Yeah, Mac. Met Gala co chairs are celebrity hosts who partner with Anna Wintour to set the event's tone, help plan aspects like the guest, like guest list and decor, and serve as the first arrivals on the red carpet to embody the theme, all while promoting the exhibition. Yeah. You know, they guide the night's vision from decor and menu. So they're. You know, it's almost like they're planning a wedding. Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah. Wedding partners. But, like, in my mind, I'm like, they could be doing a lot or they could be doing nothing. And. And it sounds like they're doing well.

[Fran]

It could be like a group project. You know, it's like, maybe, listen, maybe one person's really involved. Another one's like, just slap my name on this, you know, and I'll show up.

[Ria]

It's like McDonald's I don't want to know what's happening in the kitchen. I just wanted to show I actually.

[Noah]

Would be so interested. Like, I guess the three, like, seeing Beyonce and Nicole Kidman, like, playing together, like, that's kind of funny.

[Ria]

I just want to, like, see them walk out on the carpet. I'm like, yeah, they crushed this event.

[Fran]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ria]

They crushed it. So that is very exciting. And that will be the first Monday of May. Like, last topic before we head into the interview and trivia. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. You know, when they were doing all that promo for Naked Gun, everyone was like, oh, my God. Or at least two dating. That would be so sweet. Well, Liam Neeson pulled the wool over Pamela Anderson's eyes and fooled her because they were having a little situationship, a little flirtation, a little relationship going on. And it was for a little bit. And also while they were promoting the movie and then fizzled out, they even went to vacation together. Their families joined them. And then that little rascal Liam Neeson ghosted her.

[Fran]

I know.

[Ria]

Well, guys, where he's a player.

[Fran]

Let me tell you something. He's a damn player. I'm gonna freak out.

[Ria]

He has a particular set of skills.

[Fran]

How do I find my history?

[Ria]

Oh, gosh, we need like a Liquid Glass YouTube video.

[Fran]

How do I find my history? I just had the article up, and then when I googled that, it went away. And now I can't. I could used to be able to go into my history and find it. Where's my history? Favorites suggestions, recently closed tabs. That's not it either.

[Ria]

She said, if you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while, but only after we finished filming. The two spent an intimate week together at his home in upstate New York. I had my own room, she noted. Our assistants both came, but even family stopped by.

[Noah]

How was it intimate?

[Ria]

The pair went to dinner at a tiny French restaurant where he introduced Pamela as the future Mrs. Neeson.

[Noah]

Wow.

[Ria]

They spent time in his garden where she said she she tended the rose. The rose bush overgrown with mint. She was happy to help and he appreciated. But she calls their romantic last week during which niece and chased off a bear from the breakfast window. Wow. Okay, Manly. We know he has those skills. And they went our separate ways to work on other films. And then, you know, they fizzled. They rekindled while they were promoting. They were having fun. She called their connection a little Nancy Myers esque, which is always very fun. And she said, she laughed when people said it was a Publicity stunt. Because she was like, that's. You know, it's a real thing. Yeah. But she said they're better as friends in full honesty. So it feels like Liam really wooed her. Took her first spin, called her Mrs. Neeson, and then bounced out.

[Fran]

I just said, damn. Liam Neeson is the kind of guy that's pulling out the.

[Ria]

The.

[Fran]

This is my future wife. I'm like, week two, you know? Like, you ever been on that?

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Fran]

You go on that day and you're just like, whoa, this guy really must. This guy must really like me. Right?

[Ria]

The first date, like, talking about the future, it's like, Right. Relax.

[Fran]

Holy shit. Maybe like, just like a slight. A slight dose of a love bomb.

[Ria]

Yeah. Liam Neeser. Big love bomber.

[Fran]

No extravagant gifts, though.

[Ria]

You know, I feel like a quiet.

[Fran]

Weekend at the cabin.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

No, as much as we joke, it does seem like they just had a. Had a connection. They explored and then fizzled. Because she did say that they have a lovely friendship now they just saw each other. The last time she saw each other was in August. He surprised her by coming to see her star in a play. She said, he's such a supporter of this new trajectory in my career and kindly tells me he is very proud of me. I'm sure we will always be in each other's lives.

[Ria]

That's sweet. At least they can keep the friendship. And you know what? And I don't even like, oh, she's Mrs. Neeson. Sorry, that's Ms. Anderson. That is Ms. Pamela Anderson. Okay. Not the first date. See, going Mrs. Neeson. Right away here.

[Fran]

I know, but just like, I don't. I feel like there are so many people and so many girls out there who have dated a guy for a few weeks, and you just, like, think it's really magical. Everything's working out so well. And he. And he does this like, it's like, you're going to. To meet his friends. And they're like, ah, this is totally my future wife. And they're like, whatever. Future misses and enter last name.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And then like, the text in their next week, you just don't hear from him anymore. Gone, like.

[Ria]

And you're telling a friend he called me his future wife. Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

I don't know if they. Maybe he disappeared, but it does sound like they were. I wonder what. It was just like, you know what? The romance side, not. Not working.

[Ria]

I'm glad they had their intimate cabin weekend.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But they're better as friends. Yeah.

[Fran]

I've always thought that maybe it would be hard for him to connect with somebody after, after Natasha, you know, would have been such a good one. Good one for him. But not quite there. Not quite there.

[Ria]

Not yet. Not yet. So at least we got an answer though. That was nice of Pam to give us an answer.

[Fran]

She didn't have to, right? Exactly. She told people though, she's like, she said, she's like, if you must know, here's everything that happens.

[Ria]

Yeah. That you know what, you didn't have to do that, Pam. Yeah. And we appreciate your honesty. Absolutely. Thank you. And that wraps up the topics.

All right everyone. We are here with a very special guest. We are joined by Bobby Burke, interior designer, television personality. He really does it all. Welcome to the show.

[Bobby Burke]

Hey, thanks for having me.

[Fran]

I know we are so excited to have you on. We met a couple years ago at the the Taylors, Taylor and Taylor Lautner hosting their their gala for their lemons foundation. And that was such a fun night. And feel like we had so much fun. And then I don't. Like, we were like, oh, Bobby would be great on the show. Now you're here, which we're so excited.

[Bobby Burke]

Two years later because, you know, we got it.

[Fran]

We got.

[Ria]

Never saw you again.

[Fran]

We're like, oh, next time we're in New York, Louisiana. Just like. And then, you know, we're never really.

[Ria]

Remind you that we met two years ago. Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

Hey, hey, Come on. It takes me a second. It's early.

[Ria]

It's okay.

[Bobby Burke]

That's okay.

[Ria]

Us too. Us too.

[Bobby Burke]

You know how it is. Yeah. But between now and then, we've probably both met about a million people.

[Ria]

Exactly.

[Fran]

Easily. But we're so excited to have you in the studio. We got a ton to talk to you about because you've been busy.

[Noah]

I have.

[Fran]

And you have a brand new show coming out called Junk or Jackpot, which I'm very intrigued by because I love seeing people's junk.

[Bobby Burke]

Yes, yes. And we saw a lot of Junk, though. Luckily, we did find some Jackpot.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah. Some insane jackpot.

[Fran]

Good, Great. So tell us about the show a little bit.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah. So the show was created by John Cena. Yes, that one.

[Ria]

Oh.

[Bobby Burke]

He was out at dinner one night with some friends, and they were talking about some of his crazy collections and how he needed to, like, get rid of some stuff because one of them had kind of taken over too much space in his life, in his house. And then they started talking about some of his fans and their crazy collections that they have of his stuff. And he's like, God, this would be a cute show. So he went to WBD and he pitched it, and they're like, yeah, we like this for hgtv. And he's like, well, I love Queer Eye. Can we get Bobby to host it? And when Daddy asks you to host a show, you say, yes, Daddy. And, yeah, the rest is history. And so we go out, we find people with insane collections and collections that, for the most part, used to really spark joy for them, which brought them happiness and it was their passion. But they've now really allowed them to just, like, take over their lives. And now they're affecting them in a negative way. And so this show isn't just about a renovation. The show really, you know, I wanted to make sure that next show I did very similar to where I had a lot of heart. Like, we're actually out there helping people. And so we go in, we. We view their collection. I bring in an expert to figure out what things are worth. And then we have some. Some hard moments and some hard decisions and some. Some forced sells and some crying and some screaming and. And in the end, I use the funds that they have gotten from letting go of some of their collection to renovate their house and get their lives back under control. Like, our first premiere episode, it's a couple down in Orange county, and we show up the first day, and it was Patrick and Roger. And just Patrick's there, and we're like, where's Roger? And he's like, well, he moved out.

[Ria]

Oh.

[Bobby Burke]

Literally a week ago, he moved out. He is on his way. He's going to shoot with us. But he basically told me, you, this is your last chance to get this under control with Bobby. And if you don't, I might not be back because there's not even space for me in the house. And if you can't make space for me in this house, then you clearly don't have space for me in your heart. So a lot of our collectors were kind of at a point in their life where their collection really had just, like, caused some major issues in their life. So it was really great to, like, actually help people.

[Ria]

Wow. I love the idea of that because, you know, this is such a passion. It's a hobby for people to collect things. And like you said, it can bring a lot of joy and happiness. But when it gets to that point where it's taking over your life, to hear that is so strong. Like, I don't know if you have enough room in your heart because you don't have enough room in your place for this. And I feel like that goes with the saying, like a. A cluttered mess. Is that like a cluttered mind in your home? Like, when my home is clean, then my mind feels like it is.

[Bobby Burke]

I say that in my book multiple times. My book is about design and mental health.

[Ria]

Yeah, exactly. I feel like they go hand in hand a lot of times. At what point do you think it reaches a breaking point where it goes past a passion and joy and it's now, like, taking a toll on people? Like, how does that feel? Flips. You know that switch flip, when it.

[Bobby Burke]

Starts to affect your knife, your life in a negative way, when it starts to affect your relationships? You know, some of our collectors, they didn't have a spouse that it was affecting, but their friends had stopped coming over. Their friends are like, I can't. I can't step foot in this place.

[Ria]

Because it just takes up too much room. Like that's how.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah. Like, the anxiety. Like, there's. There's nowhere for us to sit. Like, one of our houses. Like, our little doggies didn't have anywhere to sit anymore. I'm like, where. Where your dogs go? You know? And we had one couple as well who I wouldn't say their collection had taken over their lives because their collections was the most immaculately organized, clean, just wonderful. Like, the wife had every single Harry Potter book ever published. And I know you're like, wait, I said there are only, like, a few, but ever published in any language ever published with any different book cover art. Like, insane. The husband had every single Nintendo and Sega game ever made. And then they also had, like, every single one six Star wars figure ever. So it was their entire home. And they did that because they were a couple who was told they could never have kids, but so they poured their. We don't have no college funds, no nothing. We're just gonna spend our money on what we want. We're gonna spend our money on our collection. This makes us happy. Well, in their early 40s, I had a miracle baby. And they're like, oh, okay. Our priorities have shifted. We need to make this home for our kid. And their son was about 6, and they were already starting to notice that their son was having an unhealthy relationship with collecting as well and was just, like, going overboard. And they're like, we need to take a step back. We need some help. We need to get some healthy boundaries and make our home focused on our family instead of our collection.

[Ria]

Yeah. I love the idea of this because it gives an inner look on something like that. Right. There's a story behind why they're collecting so much. They thought they can never have kids. And sometimes you would look at somebody's home and go, oh, it's just a message. And just, like, judge them based off that. But there's something else going on behind that.

[Bobby Burke]

Every single one of our collectors. There was. There was a reason, right? There was a reason whether it was, you know, like, that couple, where there's, like, this is our passion. We don't.

[Noah]

We're not. We don't.

[Bobby Burke]

We're not leaving our money to anybody. We might as well enjoy it. Or it was somebody who. There was some trauma in childhood. You know, There was some. You know. Yeah. There was all kinds of reasons why.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah.

[Fran]

The. I mean, I think. I think it's pretty standard when we hear, you know, books, figurines, games, like, things like that. What was one of, like, the craziest items that you saw someone. Someone collect.

[Bobby Burke]

One of our collectors. She actually collects fashion. And I know you're just like, well, that does sound like somebody who likes clothes.

[Fran]

Right?

[Bobby Burke]

No, this was also her business. So she has. It's called the Lido Collection or the Lido Archive in la. And she. She rents it out like Chapel Roan wears her stuff like everybody. But it had literally had taken over her whole home. It started out as just like a couple of rooms in her house, and it had turned into literally every single room in her house. And her girlfriend had recently moved in and she was like, was this the right decision? Like, there's. There's no. This is where there's no room for me. Like, I don't know if I should have done this. So it was all about helping her figure out a good life, work balance, and a balance between allowing this collection to take over the home, but also still making a place for her and Sarah. And then there was a big three car garage that had also just turned into a massive storage that we took everything out of that we turned this into an awesome lounge for them. And I'm like, all right, this is the space now in your home that there is no work, only for you and Sarah, only for you and your friends. No clothes can come in here. And again, it's really just about having healthy boundaries.

[Fran]

So it's like a lot of balance of organization and design as well, which really do I feel like go hand in hand. But when you started to get into the design world, was that organization part of it, something that you like to do?

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah, I mean, I'm a Virgo. I love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I think organizing the space is the first place you should start because a lot of times you don't need to buy new things. You just need to get rid of something.

[Ria]

Yeah, right, right, right. That is true.

[Fran]

It's like once you get a few items gone, you're like, now look how nice this chair looks.

[Bobby Burke]

Exactly.

[Ria]

Have you done follow ups with the homes that you've worked on? Because you said you took the money to renovate some spaces. Like you made that lounge.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah, I mean, one of the reasons why, because some people have commented, they're like, oh, I can't believe you made them get rid of some of their collection. Like, how mean. They're like a step back.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

But b, I did that because I wanted them to figure out how to emotionally let go of things while there was somebody there to hold their hand to do it.

[Fran]

Yeah, for sure.

[Bobby Burke]

And for them to realize, oh, this wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Because every single one of them, a week or two later, I would say, okay, from memory, I want you to list everything that you sold. And they could. And I'm like, see, I told you that in a week you wouldn't remember the things you got rid of. Like, I never made them get rid of the things that meant the most to them. I made them get rid of things that a lot of people had. Like, multiple duplicates of things, too. They're like, well, it's just so rare. I just had that. I'm like, but why?

[Ria]

This is no longer something.

[Fran]

It's like, there's only five of them made, and I need all five of them.

[Bobby Burke]

Something that you're getting because you enjoy it. It's literally just an obsession.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Bobby Burke]

And I'm like, this obsession is ruining everything else in your life. So we had them get rid of things because I wanted them in the future, because I know they're gonna buy more stuff. I know they are. They're addicted to doing so. And that's fine. It makes you happy. But I wanted them to remember, okay, I went through this with Bobby. I had too much stuff. If I'm gonna bring in more stuff, I need to let some stuff go. And I also really taught them all, like, treat your collection as an art gallery. Art galleries don't put everything out. They don't fill the walls full of art because then nothing is special. They rotate things out. They highlight items that they want to sell, they want to enjoy. So I'm like, put a little bit of it in storage. If you have a closet or an extra room or get a small storage unit, and every quarter or so, rotate it out. And that way, not only are you seeing new things, but when your friends and family are coming over, you have stories to tell. They're like, oh, this is new. They're like, no, just rotating the collection out.

[Ria]

That is so true about an art gallery. When you go, it's like one on a white wall. And sometimes you think to your. They could put more on here, but they want to highlight that art.

[Bobby Burke]

That piece is special, and it takes away from it. If you've just filled the wall full of other things.

[Noah]

Yep.

[Ria]

Now, these people, they have signed up to be on the show. So part of them.

[Bobby Burke]

I hope they did.

[Ria]

Yeah. No, they just ran into home. Hgtv just ran in. No. But part of them felt like they wanted and needed it.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah.

[Ria]

So for people to be like you made people. No, there's a part of them that wanted to.

[Bobby Burke]

Absolutely.

[Ria]

They know it. It's just they need someone, like you said, to hold their hand to get them through it.

[Fran]

Exactly. A little push. But, you know, we have watched you on TV in this amazing design journey, but love to know some of those beginning years for you. Where did the love for design come from? We know you, you know, you left home very early, which probably pushed you into the real world very fast. So at what age do you think you really had to grow up?

[Bobby Burke]

What age did I have to grow up? I mean, I left home at 15, so I definitely had to grow up right then. You know, I was here in New York City by 21. Moved here with like 100 bucks in a suitcase and just had to figure it out. But I mean, my love for design, or at least when I started to realize how design affects you, I was probably like five or six years old and my mom had decorated my room in all red. Like red curtains, red bedspread, like, you know, like fire engine red, little boys. And I just, I couldn't articulate why, but I'm like, this just. This isn't it.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

This doesn't make me feel good. Like I don't know what it is. So I saved up all my little, you know, $20 checks for my birthday that my aunts would send me. And I do what every little boy does. I bought home decor.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

And I bought like blue curtains and blue bedspread. And you know, I was like, again, I couldn't articulate why blue made me feel better. I just, I liked it. And so it was then that I realized and I used to like move all the furniture around my parents house and like change the living room and the dining room and like, you know, it drove them nuts. But I enjoyed it. It was fun. And I moved my bedroom around all the time, but I never really thought of it as like a job or a career. Like, you know, I grew up on a farm in the middle of Missouri. It wasn't. Yeah. But then I was working a lot of retail. I started getting jobs at like retail furniture stores like the Bombay Company and Restoration Hardware and the indoors. And I really got passionate about it. And then I worked for a company called Portico. I don't know if you guys remember that. I also worked for Bed Bath Mion, which I drove by on the way. Or the old building.

[Fran]

Yeah, it's not there any.

[Bobby Burke]

Worst job of my life. And ended up working for another boutique furniture company that just went Belly up one day. And I decided to launch my own online because I had built their online business.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

And so I just cloned their database and registered Bobby Burkhome.com and was like, maybe I'll sell a sofa too while I look for another job. But I sold more than a few. I was one of the first online retailers of furniture in the U.S. wow. Even back then, Amazon was still just really selling books. This was like 2005, 2006. And so online did really well. And so then I opened up a physical store in soho and then Miami and then Atlanta and then la and then my design firm. And yeah. Then queer crazy.

[Fran]

It's.

[Ria]

It's.

[Noah]

What?

[Fran]

Did you ever think, you know, TV was an avenue you were gonna go into?

[Bobby Burke]

Not for what I've ended up doing, no. Originally, like. Cause I did stuff with HGTV back in, like, the early teens. I filmed tons of HGTV shows, filmed in my stores. But it was always just like, to promote the business. It was never like, I don't want to be a star. Like, I don't want to really be on tv. It was always just like, yeah, I want people to be more aware of my stores and my brand. But, yeah, that worked out differently.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Right, right, right. So how. How was it? Were you. How were you approached originally to. To do Queer Eye?

[Bobby Burke]

They reached out to my publicist. You know, I. I had a publicist at the time because I was an interior designer with stores. And they reached out to her asking me to audition.

[Fran]

That's all it was.

[Bobby Burke]

And I almost didn't go.

[Ria]

Oh.

[Bobby Burke]

The first audition was via Skype. I didn't think it went great. Apparently it did.

[Ria]

It worked out.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah. They asked me to come in for in person auditions. They had like, the top 40 guys, and I had a trip to Spain planned. And the trip to Spain was on a Friday. The audition started Wednesday night. And I was like, there's no way I'm going to get this show. Like, I'm going to Spain. I'm like, I'm not gonna do this. But I was like, all right, I'll go to, like, the first day. Which was just like a cocktail mixer with Netflix and ITV and Scout execs. And it went well. And then the next day, I sat around, I think, for like, literally 15 hours to do 15 minutes of audition. And I didn't think that went well either. And so I was like, literally packing my bags to go to Spain. The next morning. I get a call at, like 1:30 in the morning. They're like, we want you to come back for the final day. And they're like, not to give anything away, but you're our top choice.

[Ria]

Wow.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

Push my flight back.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah.

[Ria]

What an interesting audition process to have you do, like, a little cocktail mixer.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah. The first night was a cocktail mixer. The second night or the second day, it was everybody, like, 40 people. And they had us do, like, this little speed dating. Had three tables set up. Each table had Netflix, itv, and Scout execs sitting at it. And you just went from table to table. You got five minutes at each table. And, like, the design category was the very last category. So, yeah, I waited around all day. And then the next day was just a bunch of chemistry testing. So they would just put us in groups of five and see how people work. They had one room where I guess it was kind of like the main room. And Karamo and I were the first ones that never really left that room. Like, they just started, like, week started to notice we were kind of the anchors that were in there, and they were starting to rotate other people in and out and never rotating us in and out. And we're like.

[Ria]

You're getting that confidence. Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

We're like, they're not really.

[Fran]

They're trying to match them with us.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah, I think.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

And then that night, it was just the five of us, but then, of course, we were also told, okay, great, you'll hear in a few weeks, but there's nobody else left.

[Fran]

Tell us right now. It's like, you definitely know.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah. And it's sad. Like, you know, we were in that again. I was in that room for probably, like, 10 hours. And every time I'd, like, need to go use the bathroom or something, I'd come out there in the ballroom next door where everybody was. There'd be less and less people, and we're like, oh. And, like, you'd see people walking out crying, and you're like, oh. And then finally, like, we came out of the room, and there was nobody else left in that ballroom. And we're like, no, no, no, no. We'll let you know.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Right, right, right, right.

[Ria]

They still want to have something over you.

[Bobby Burke]

The creator of the show literally said, all right, it's in God's hands now. Oh, and I'm God.

[Ria]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Burke]

We're like, okay.

[Ria]

You're, like, funny.

[Bobby Burke]

This was a really emotionally taxing day. Like, don't mess with us.

[Ria]

Like, can I go to Spain now?

[Fran]

With, like, a little hehe. You're like, oh, great.

[Ria]

Okay.

[Bobby Burke]

I Ended up not being able to take that trip for two more years.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

Which was fun. It worked out.

[Ria]

It worked out. You know, we really loved Queer Eye. So much love. And you know, you mentioned a lot of. A lot of heart in Junker. Jackpot. There was a lot of heart in Queer Eye as well. And then, you know, I felt like, appropriately, you left when you felt like it was time. You've talked about that a ton. And what was that experience, like sort of moving on and closing that chapter that you had spent years on?

[Bobby Burke]

I mean, it was definitely hard, but, you know, I just felt it was time. You know, I feel like shows should kind of stop on a high and I think that's where we were. And you know, I just kind of, you know, we were all tired. I can't speak for them all, but I know we were.

[Fran]

You guys did a lot of seasons.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah, yeah. Because I mean, when I left it was season eight, but it was technically season nine because we did a season in Japan as well. But it was just called we're in Japan. It wasn't numbered. Yeah, I think the show had a really great run. You know, I know they have another five episode season coming out and. Yeah, I don't actually, I don't know when. I think soon, but yeah. And after that I guess they're done.

[Ria]

That's amazing though. And like you said, like, it's okay to close that chapter on a high. On a great note, we're actually talking about this last night with TV shows. They were allowed to end. Yeah. Like certain, you know, shows on reality TV shows in the reality TV space and they were so iconic and then they try to keep them going and they bring in a new cast and you're like, we could close it and we could say that was a great show.

[Bobby Burke]

I feel like when you leave on high and everything is still great.

[Noah]

You'Re.

[Bobby Burke]

Able then in the future to come back.

[Ria]

Right.

[Bobby Burke]

And not like maybe come back fully but like, oh, do a little special or oh, do a little tour. But when you wait until just things kind of unravel, it kind of really closes the door.

[Ria]

It's like leaving the party last.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

You want to get out what people want.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah. Just kind of Irish goodbye.

[Fran]

They should have stayed.

[Bobby Burke]

It's time.

[Fran]

That is definitely true. Well, I have noticed that you have been traveling quite a bit and you are all over the world and vlogging and really documenting all these trips and they look incredible.

[Bobby Burke]

Thank you.

[Fran]

So what is like your favorite part of. Of traveling, especially to these. You know, you're just in Southeast Asia. What's your favorite part of getting to travel the world?

[Bobby Burke]

I think probably spending, like, uninterrupted time with my husband.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

You know, we've been together for 22 years. We actually still like each other. And, yeah, traveling with him is really great, especially in Southeast Asia. He's originally from Vietnam, so we spend a lot of time over there. We're actually, when we finally have some chill moment, thinking about moving over there and. Yeah, it's just great. It's such a vibrant, growing place with so much energy. I love it over there.

[Ria]

Is that your favorite place?

[Bobby Burke]

Vietnam is one of my favorite places. Yeah. We live part time in Portugal as well. We're heading over there next week, and we'll be there until February.

[Ria]

Amazing.

[Bobby Burke]

I know that I missed that trip to Spain, but now I live in Portugal, so it's fine.

[Ria]

What part of Portugal?

[Bobby Burke]

Our house is down in the Algarve, which is down in the very southern coast. But that we usually only have time to go during the holidays because that's the only time I know I won't be working.

[Ria]

Right.

[Bobby Burke]

And it's where we live is, like, where everybody summers.

[Ria]

Yes, I've seen that. Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

So during this time of year, like, restaurants are closed. Like, everybody that lives down there is on holiday. Cause that's the only time of year they get off. So we usually just rent a place up in Lisbon, and we stay in Lisbon most of the time.

[Ria]

Gorgeous.

[Fran]

What made you decide on Portugal to.

[Bobby Burke]

Be that hot spot? The easiest access to an EU passport? Yeah, that's. Yeah, we started that process about three years ago.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

Saw the writing on the wall.

[Fran]

Right. So now you can be over there really, for.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah, we can live anywhere.

[Ria]

So do you think you'll try to split your time with Vietnam?

[Bobby Burke]

I. Yeah, but between, like, Portugal or Vietnam, like, don't get me wrong, Portugal is great. I think it would be a really awesome place to, like, retire. Retire. It's. It's very chill.

[Ria]

Very chill.

[Bobby Burke]

Like, the pace of life is for me, not. I'm not there yet. You know, I really want to go to Vietnam. I want to open up hotels. That's always been a dream of mine since the very first time I went there 20 years ago.

[Ria]

That would be amazing. My husband and I were eating at a bar like. Like at a restaurant. But we sat at the bar recently, and there were two guys next to us that we just got to talking to them, and they were talking about how their favorite place that they went to was Vietnam. They were like, if you could ever be like, they were raving.

[Bobby Burke]

It's the best. The people, the food. It's so diverse. Like, landscape wise, it's a very long, skinny country. So up north, it's cold, it gets snowy, but down south is tropical. And then there's mountains where you feel like you're in the Alps. And it's interesting because there's a city called Dalat and it's up in the mountains. And again, it feels like Alpine Alps. And it's very unique because that's also where when it was colonized by the French, the wealthy French people built houses up there because it's up in the mountains, so it's so much cooler. So there's this weird mix of like French chalet architecture with Vietnamese architecture. And all the mountains are terraced with like flowers and vegetables because it's such a different, cooler climate. It's just a really, really special place.

[Ria]

So if you were to open hotels, you would feel like that's the spot, that city. Yeah. Or just.

[Bobby Burke]

That's on my list. But lots of places in Vietnam.

[Ria]

Wow, that's very cool.

[Bobby Burke]

It is. And it's a very young country as well. Like, the average age is like 34.

[Ria]

Wow.

[Bobby Burke]

So people are young and full of energy and it's very entrepreneurial.

[Ria]

Like, it's cool. A little different than Portugal, wherever.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah. Portugal is not, I mean, most of Europe is not very entrepreneur. I don't want to say Europe's not entrepreneurial, but it's like the government doesn't necessarily promote a lot of like, small business. Like, that's not the thing.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

Where in Vietnam, they, they do like, they have a very entrepreneurial spirit. And so, yeah, it's, it's. I vibe more with that.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

What are some of like the most inspirational things or where.

[Ria]

Where.

[Fran]

What has inspired you in your travels that you have then put into your designs or in things you've incorporated in design?

[Bobby Burke]

I mean, we also have some boutique hotels in the desert, in Palm Desert. So they're. I call them boutique hotels, but they're short term rentals. You can rent it on Airbnb, but they're like resorts. You're basically renting a private resort. Like the new one we're building is a holistic wellness center. It's 10 bedrooms, 13 baths, sauna, cold plunges, gym, massage spas, yoga studios, resort style pool, pickleball courts. And so in my travels, I've just, I've really got this bug for health and wellness and so We've incorporated all of that into, into our properties so people can rent them out to have wellness retreats, fitness retreats, weddings, events, or just like big, you know, 26 group people, friends.

[Ria]

I feel like traveling all around the world, you learn so much about health and wellness from all different countries that you can kind of put together once you learn it all.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

And just the way, you know, the way you want to feel when you walk into a property. You know, like, I know when I walk into a hotel and like, the lighting's right, the music's right, the vibe is right.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

You instantly feel like you're on vacation. And like, the properties that we've built out in Palm Springs are like that. You know, we always make sure, like, all the outdoor speakers are on when the guests arrive. And like, one of them is called Casa Tierra, and it's Spanish hacienda style up in the mountains. And so we have, like, Spanish guitar playing. And people are always like, I feel like I just pulled up to a five star resort that is all mine. And it's insane. I'm like, it's all about those little moments that you don't get at home that instantly make you feel, I'm on vacation.

[Ria]

Right. And you know how you want to show up to a place with your husband. So you're like, this is how I want to feel. To wrap up a little bit, we want to get some advice from you for ourselves and our listeners. You know, if someone is trying to, you know, design their home on a little bit of a budget, where do you think they should start? What's the most important pieces?

[Bobby Burke]

The most important pieces. That one's tough. Depending on the spaces. I mean, I always think that you should invest your money in a good mattress. You spend so much of your time in bed. That's where you're recharging your body. So spend money on a good mattress. There were times living in here in New York that the only thing I had in my apartment was a mattress. Actually literally right down the street from here. So, yeah, do a good mattress. A good sofa. Again, like, the pieces that get the most use and wear and tear is where you should put your money.

[Fran]

If so, like someone you know, I joke. I'm good at a lot of things. Design is not one of them. I'm just like, I'm like, I don't have the eye. I'm always, like, asking other people for advice or hiring someone or doing all those things if for someone like me. Like, do you have any advice for, like, where to start when you're trying to design your own space?

[Bobby Burke]

I mean, if you don't know what you're doing, I would say find, hire someone. Yes. But people are like, I don't know where to start. And I'm like, well, find one piece that you really like and then build from that. Don't necessarily try to do it all at once because then that can be overwhelming. So find that one piece that you're like, oh, I love this. This is great. This is me. Well, if. Then build from that, because anything that coordinates with that is probably gonna be great as well. Because if you loved that piece, you're gonna love things that go with it. So start with one piece, let it cook, sit on it a while, you know, and then move forward.

[Ria]

What's your favorite design style? Right now I know that we are kind of moving past the all, like, clean white, beige. You know, people wanna see color again.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah, I still love Mid century. Yeah, it's always my favorite. My home is Mid century.

[Ria]

I was down a deep Mid century hole last night.

[Bobby Burke]

And the great thing about Mid century is there's color in Mid century and not crazy color. I'm not a big fan of a lot of color. Our lives are really crazy. So when I go home, I want serenity. But yeah, I love Mid Century. I love its clean lines, I love its use of color, I love how it uses a lot of nice woods. But, yeah, Mid Century, it's been my favorite. Really?

[Ria]

Always hearing that from you makes me feel validated because last night I was like, when I get a house, I was just like, deep in a rabbit hole.

[Bobby Burke]

It's just great. You know, it's very architectural. Like, they really thought about the designs.

[Noah]

When they were making them.

[Bobby Burke]

You know, they're simple but perfect.

[Elizabeth]

Love it.

[Fran]

The last. Okay, we have to wrap up the last thing I have to ask you about because it's something I'm so jealous of when I see people have it. You have Obby.

[Bobby Burke]

I do.

[Fran]

Which is just like on the TikTok, I think, the coolest thing someone can have. How do you get just the one and Bobby? You know, it's not. There's a lot of.

[Bobby Burke]

Bobby, you gotta break some knees. Yeah, No, I just asked for it.

[Ria]

Really?

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah, I just. I just asked Instagram for it and they gave it to me.

[Ria]

I love that answer, you know?

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Like, I didn't have to fight for it.

[Bobby Burke]

I asked before it was Bobby Burke because I. I think whoever had originally used it wasn't using it.

[Fran]

Yeah, that's you know, there's a lot.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah, there's a lot of great accounts out there that somebody registered, you know, 20 years ago when history. However long it came, and then they forgot about them. Yeah, yeah.

[Elizabeth]

And just.

[Bobby Burke]

You can't get them because they're being used, but. Or you can't get them because they're. Somebody's ranked up. But a lot of times they're just dormant accounts. And luckily for me, I assume it was a dormant account because there's been other ones I've asked for, and they're like. They don't post, but they actually use the account to look at stuff.

[Fran]

Right. It's still an active.

[Bobby Burke]

Yeah, it's still an active account. But. But, yeah, I just.

[Fran]

I think that every time I look at. I'm just trying to double check who has it. Francesca. I was like, oh. And it's just this. This Italian woman that works in fashion, and obviously she's fabulous and looks and has, like, you know, hundreds of thousands of followers. I'm like, I'll Never get Francesca.

[Bobby Burke]

TikTok gave it to me. Instagram gave it to me. And of course, now threads. Twitter wouldn't at the time, because whoever had it actually was.

[Fran]

Was using it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Burke]

Like, they had a lot of followers.

[Fran]

Well, I just think it's. I'm like, this is the best thing you can follow me at.

[Ria]

Bobby. Yeah. As simple as that.

[Bobby Burke]

It actually causes confusion because they're like, was it. I'm like, it's just Bobby. They're like, oh, just Bobby.

[Fran]

I'm like, no, right, right.

[Ria]

No, Bobby.

[Bobby Burke]

I'm like, they're like, wait, really?

[Fran]

Yeah. Yes.

[Ria]

He's like, bobby. And they're like, that's it. Oh, perfect. Oh, my gosh.

[Fran]

Well, everyone can find you at. At Bobby. And that's it. And that's it. Which is amazing. But thank you so much for joining us.

[Ria]

Thanks for having me. Thank you.

[Fran]

Junk or Jackpot is out on December 26th on HGTV. You can also stream it the next day on HBO. Max, which I feel like, perfect time. What a comfort time between that Christmas and New Year's to get into a new little design show. That's like the best time to curl up under the blanket and watch some design.

[Bobby Burke]

I watch so much HGTV over the holidays on in the background.

[Fran]

That's exactly what we want to be watching. So thank you so much.

[Ria]

Yes, thank you.

[Bobby Burke]

Thank you, ladies.

[Fran]

[Ria]

All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another game of Beatria and Fran. This is game number 200.

[Fran]

200.

[Ria]

Big 200. And we are joined by cousins Claudia and Elizabeth. So we are super excited to play, and thank you for being our 200th trivia guests.

[Claudia]

Thanks so much for having us so excited.

[Ria]

Yeah, we're super excited as well.

[Fran]

I know, it's. It's crazy too. I like the 200 games fell right around the end. At least it wasn't holiday trivia.

[Noah]

I thought it was going to be at first. And then.

[Fran]

Yeah, at least it wasn't holiday trivia because we did do holiday trivia on stage in Philly at our show on Tuesday. And we got collectively one question right.

[Ria]

Between the two teams.

[Fran]

So, yeah, it was my biggest year. It was not. It was not great across the board, but this is going to be great.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

So it's 15 questions. If you get the question right, you get the point. If you get it wrong, the team can steal the point. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. To determine who goes first, Noah's going to give us a movie. We're going to guess the Rotten Tomatoes critic score of that movie. Whoever is closest will get to go first. We all get our own individual guess and we will alternate between teams for guesses. So. No. What is today's movie?

[Noah]

Today's movie is the Proposal.

[Fran]

Ugh. Love that movie. Okay, one of you guys guess first.

[Claudia]

I feel like it was pretty high. I'm gonna go 86.

[Ria]

I will say 54.

[Elizabeth]

I'm gonna go 74.

[Fran]

I feel like it's. I might go right in the middle.

[Ria]

80.

[Noah]

Ria's the closest. 45.

[Fran]

Oh, no.

[Ria]

Swap the numbers around.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

What the heck?

[Fran]

Any guesses?

[Ria]

I'm thinking.

[Fran]

I mean, just strictly going off geography. Like, Albany would be a good guess. Like, is he going north? He's just going up.

[Ria]

I like that guess. Albany. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Benny.

[Fran]

Final answer incorrect.

[Ria]

Damn. I really felt like that might be correct there.

I don't know. Nerves about it or something.

[Elizabeth]

I mean, I would, too, to be honest.

So I guess you still got to do it, though.

It's so much fun.

You still get offered.

I mean, you take it. Yeah.

[Noah]

Three nothing. Elizabeth and Claudia, question number five. To Re and Fran, shout out Danielle from South Dakota in the movie Monsters, Inc. What is Sully's first and last name?

I'm glad, because they just did the stupid monster broadcast of the football, and they were doing his full name all over the place.

[Ria]

It's Sullivan. Is his last name correct?

[Fran]

Sullivan, yeah.

[Ria]

And is his first name Mike? Mike Wazowski and Mike Sullivan.

Are there double mics?

There you go.

[Fran]

Final answer correct.

[Ria]

Wow. Yeah. Some initiative.

[Claudia]

On the plane home from Florida and, like, the most random movie choice. And when you said Monsters, Inc. I was like.

[Ria]

Yeah, I was thinking maybe his name was Mike, and then he went by Sully to not get the confusion with the bikes.

[Noah]

Fair. All right, three, one. Elizabeth and Claudia, this is question number six. To them, shout out Bree from Boston. In the movie Christmas with the Cranks, where does Blair go instead of staying home for Christmas?

[Elizabeth]

I cannot even tell you the last time I watched this movie.

Like, her boyfriend's house?

[Elizabeth]

Like a country.

[Ria]

Florida.

[Elizabeth]

Okay, let's go.

[Noah]

Incorrect.

[Fran]

I don't remember this movie at all.

[Ria]

I thought it was, like, something like she was going with her boyfriend somewhere, and then the flights got canced in.

[Noah]

Christmas with the Cranks. Where does Blair go instead of staying home for Christmas?

[Ria]

I thought she was gonna go somewhere with her boyfriend, but then. But then she calls and she doesn't. She doesn't go because then they don't go on their vacation.

[Fran]

Right. Is there a guess?

[Ria]

Like I'm gonna say her boyfriend. Her boyfriend's house. Sure. Her boyfriend's house.

[Noah]

Incorrect. She goes to Peru with the peace corpse somewhere.

[Ria]

Where? Damn it.

[Fran]

I don't remember.

That's like, my last guess. I would have given.

Damn it.

[Noah]

No.

[Elizabeth]

I don't know if you watched it at all.

[Claudia]

I feel like I don't remember it. But of course I've watched it.

[Elizabeth]

I don't remember. I mean, Fran's answer was also good. Who hasn't?

[Claudia]

Maybe say, his mom. I feel like that's a better guess than I would have given.

[Elizabeth]

Okay. Something with his mom, but I don't.

[Noah]

Final answer incorrect. He says, abso lutely.

Yeah.

[Noah]

Claudia and Elizabeth. Question number 10 to them. I'm going to play movie clips and you tell me what movie it's from.

[Elizabeth]

Okay?

[Fran]

And it is unforgivable that you would ask me to devote a single second of my fucking time to help you achieve your fucking dream. What dreams, Patrick? You never had any.

[Bobby Burke]

Is that what you and Art are doing?

[Noah]

Living the dream?

[Ria]

That is exactly what the fuck we're doing.

We saw this movie together, Claudia.

Final answer.

I've seen it multiple times.

I was hoping you weren't gonna get that one.

[Fran]

There's so. There's only so many. There's so many arts out there in the movie.

[Ria]

Dang it.

[Claudia]

I really wanted the movie question because I feel like that's like a strong suit.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Claudia]

Every time I watch it, I'm like, easy.

You nailed it. You nailed it.

As long as we got it, that's all that matters.

[Elizabeth]

I have no clue.

[Ria]

I don't know. Thinking hard. What a beautiful scene. Although I don't remember the song that's playing. What's the One Tree Hill theme song?

[Fran]

Gavin de Gras.

[Noah]

Time is up.

[Ria]

Sorry, I don't know it.

[Noah]

Claudia and Elizabeth.

[Elizabeth]

I literally watched this last year, but I don't remember what song it was. But it's not. I don't think it's a theme song. Which is California.

[Claudia]

No, but.

[Ria]

So funny.

[Claudia]

I was getting all these Seth and Summer clips on my TikTok yesterday. Not this scene, but 15 seconds.

[Ria]

If only.

[Elizabeth]

It's an old 2000 song. I'm thinking, like the Fray.

[Fran]

I don't know.

[Claudia]

Something by the Fray.

[Noah]

Five seconds.

[Ria]

Do you want.

[Noah]

Do you.

[Claudia]

What's.

[Ria]

No idea.

[Claudia]

No idea.

[Noah]

Time is up. Champagne Supernova.

[Elizabeth]

Oh. By Oasis. Yeah, I feel like. Oh, it's not Oasis.

[Ria]

I let myself down with that. I pride myself.

[Elizabeth]

Now that you say it.

[Ria]

I like, literally, to be honest, I.

[Fran]

I don't know that and can't recall. I. I only watched. I only watched the OC One time.

[Elizabeth]

I started it last.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Only watched it one time, and it was probably like, eight years ago now.

[Ria]

I have rewatched that show plenty of times, so I'm disappointed in myself.

[Noah]

Okay. Still five, two. Claudia and Elizabeth, question number 12. And this is to them, shout out Nori from Scranton. What is the first name of Wednesday's roommate in the Netflix show Wednesday?

[Claudia]

I don't watch the show.

[Elizabeth]

Oh, my God. I do. And I. It's like an old name.

[Claudia]

Is it something with a T?

[Elizabeth]

I don't think so. I feel like it starts with an A. Oh.

[Claudia]

Never watched it. So this is all you.

[Elizabeth]

I know what I'm thinking. I literally can't think of it right now.

[Claudia]

You want to make it like five seconds?

[Elizabeth]

No, it's like. Like acrid. But it's not like that. It's something like that.

[Noah]

Time is up. All right, Korean friend.

[Ria]

I haven't seen this show.

[Fran]

It's like. It's like Inez or like Ingrid. Ingrid. Maybe it's an in name.

[Ria]

I like that. Guess.

I think Ingrid I'm gonna go. Ingrid.

[Noah]

Final answer incorrect. A need.

[Elizabeth]

A need.

[Ria]

Okay.

[Noah]

Ingrid. That's how you pronounce it. But, Ian, how do you spell it?

[Elizabeth]

Is it I or A?

[Ria]

Oh.

[Elizabeth]

Enid. Enid.

[Noah]

Enid.

[Ria]

Enid.

[Elizabeth]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Dang.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Elizabeth]

I listened to an old Chicks episode and nowhere pronouncing.

[Fran]

That makes way more sense. The way Noah said that, I was like, that's definitely not her name.

[Ria]

You weren't too far off.

[Noah]

She's Anita.

[Ria]

No.

[Elizabeth]

You were close.

[Ria]

Yeah. That wasn't that. That wasn't that crazy.

[Elizabeth]

It wasn't Malaroy.

[Ria]

No. We need. We need phonetic spelling. Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah. Okay. It is.

[Fran]

I knew it was something like five.

[Noah]

Two.

[Elizabeth]

I knew it was something old.

Yeah.

Three questions left. Ran for an app to get all them right. Question number 13. To them, shout out Claire from Denver. What poet does Noah's dad quote to Ally in the Notebook?

What poet does. Is quoted by. Who poet does Noah's dad quote to.

[Fran]

I have no idea. I don't know. Edgar Allan Poe. No. That seems like it wouldn't be that dark.

[Noah]

Five seconds.

[Fran]

I don't know.

[Noah]

I don't know. Damn.

[Ria]

Edgar Allan Poe.

[Elizabeth]

I've never seen a Notebook. I'm out.

[Claudia]

You've never seen the Notebook?

[Elizabeth]

No.

[Claudia]

So disappointing.

[Ria]

The classic line.

[Claudia]

Like, Edgar Allan Poe. Walt Whitman.

[Elizabeth]

Like Walt Whitman. I was thinking, like, Shel Silverstein, but that's too. That's.

[Claudia]

I don't think it's Shel Silverstein.

[Elizabeth]

Walt Whitman's a good one, though.

[Ria]

Let's go.

[Claudia]

Walt Whitman. Final answer.

[Noah]

Correct.

[Ria]

Oh, my God. Wow. You know what? You went, edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman. I wish I did the same thing.

Famously wrote the Raven. Yeah.

[Claudia]

The Raven.

[Ria]

The Raven.

[Noah]

Yeah. Okay. All right. That. Seals of victory.

[Ria]

Dang. Well, congrats, guys. You guys crushed it. Honestly. Well deserved.

[Elizabeth]

You guys crush it every week. So we're like, there's no way. Sometimes not.

[Fran]

Sometimes we go in through these. Like, you go. We lose a couple in a row. We lost last week.

[Ria]

It depends on the questions, you know? You know, this isn't my jam today, so.

[Elizabeth]

It's okay.

[Ria]

We still have more questions.

[Noah]

We'll do the final two.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Elizabeth]

Okay.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

So question number 14. To Claudia Elizabeth, shout out Emily from Florida, name the movie that the character Peter lafleur is from and the actor who plays him?

And then I was looking it up because I'm like, I want to make sure the spelling was right. And I'm like, is it. Was his name Peeta like that?

[Fran]

Yes.

[Noah]

Interesting name.

[Fran]

Her name is Katniss, so.
