Fran
It was your chest pain interrupted my joke.

I know. I'm sorry. Like, I couldn't even react. You see, I went to react, and then I just. Like, almost to the point of it.
Fran
I felt like you didn't get the joke.

You don't get the joke. Wear your florals. Noah, do you get the joke?

It was about the wear your lemons.

But that one I did get because of.

We were already talking about her, so that one came.

And I was just at Juno beach last Friday.
Ria
I got some texts, being like, you're not gonna come. I was like, guys, I. I think that if I were like, I think I'd have to go to the hospital, like, at the end of the weekend. It would just be. It would not be good.
Fran
Yeah. You need some rest, honey.
Ria
Yeah, I do.

Ria
All systems go.
Fran
All systems ago right now. I can't freaking wait.
Ria
It's going to be so fun. Seriously.
Fran
I was dancing around my apartment this morning, like, rock your body, you know, have you naked by the end of this song. Yeah. Mm, mm. I can't wait. I'm so giddy and happy about it. It's like, woo.
Ria
It's gonna be so fun.
Fran
Although I'm worried about my outfits because, you know, I've ordered a ton of outfits and I don't like a single one of them. I. I realized I was like trying too hard.
Ria
You're very picky.
Fran
Yeah, I mean, I. I realized I was trying too hard and then I was like, all right, let's reel it in. Yeah, let's stick with some classics.
Ria
Yep.
Fran
You can't go wrong with the classics. So I ordered some classics. They're on the way.
Ria
Yep.
Fran
Very excited. You know, chic, cute. Classic what? Some cute, you know, bikini bridal set things that I'm very excited about. You know, hopefully it's warm. We are going to Scottsdale and I'm nervous about the weather because it's not that warm yet. And there, you know, is a boat planned and a pool party and all that jazz. But you know what it is what it is if it's not warm.
Ria
Temp these days.
Fran
It's like, it's like high 60s, low 70s.
Ria
The sun's hot down there, which will be good.
Fran
You know, I just don't want it to go down. All of a sudden. Goes down to like 50. No, then we're gonna have to, have to plan some other. No, it looks okay. We're in the, we're in, we're in low 70 territory, which. Yeah, that is kind of perfect.
Ria
You know what I mean?
Fran
Not too hot, it's not cold. Just right in the middle. Can't freaking wait.
Ria
It'll be perfect.
Fran
I know you're tired right now, so, like, you're not in the zone. No, I feel like once we get.
Ria
There, you know, it will be there for me.
Fran
Speaking of rock your body and since have you naked by the end of the song, I was getting fed all of the old videos of that super bowl halftime performance between Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson, which I found to be wild that I didn't know this at the time because I was young. Younger. I was in 2004.
Ria
I was only 10 that all of.
Fran
Janet Jackson's like, music got pulled from Viacom, mtv. Like I didn't know any of that. Which is so wild to look back on.
Ria
I don't think I did either, really. Why was that extent of it.
Fran
Why was that Janet Jackson's fault?
Ria
Was it.
Fran
It wasn't Janet Jackson's fault.
Ria
It wasn't that. I think that's the crazy.
Fran
And Justin Timber. And Justin Timberlake was a. Okay. Like they still played his music and everything, but they just like pulled everything about from Janet Jackson just because it was her boob. But she didn't unleash her own boob.
Ria
No, she did not.
Fran
She didn't unleash her.
Ria
It was unleashed for her.
Fran
It was by Justin Timberlake. Good song, though. Great song, Fantastic song. I actually thought about it and I was like, shit, I gotta get this in the rotation for the wedding. Shite.
Ria
What was your favorite Valentine's Day candy to receive at school growing up?
Fran
Good question.
Ria
Like when we had. We had our desks set up. Small school, there's only, you know, 20ish kids in a class, like small. And you'd set up your. We decorate your bag. You'd have like a brown paper bag that you'd like decorate and you would tape it to the side of your desk and then everyone would put their Valentine's.
Fran
But you were the same thing.
Ria
No, I'm talking about like second grade.
Fran
We had the same thing in all girls school.
Ria
We can't give each other Valentine's.
Fran
Galentine's. Duh.
Ria
Canceled. Cancel them again. Girls can't give girls Valentine's cards. I guess.
Fran
Wow. What are you trying to say? No.
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
No, that's nice. Nice.
Ria
Anyway, this was.
Fran
Take it back.
Ria
This was in grade school. I was like, you had to bring exact. The exact amount of Valentine's for everybody in your class.
Fran
Right.
Ria
And if. And if you didn't bring them for everyone, you couldn't give them out because everybody got one for sure.
Fran
Everyone's about.
Ria
Yeah, you got to decorate your bag and put it in. And you would get like the ones with a little lollipop taped in the inside.
Fran
That's the best. I'm looking at Valentine's candy chalk hearts, you know.
Ria
Yeah, those are like. Yeah, those are. Yep.
Fran
I'm looking at Valentine's Day.
Ria
I always liked the lollipops. I did a bunch of Harry Potter Valentine's cards for many years.
Fran
What did you think about the little hearts?
Noah
I just said that.
Ria
Which, like the sweet hearts ones?
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Not my favorite Chalky. I don't like chalky candy.
Fran
It was very chalky. It was really just the thought that counted.
Ria
It was.
Fran
Oh, they got new candies these days. Sour punch hearts. Those are new.
Ria
Yeah, they're probably. I actually did walk by the Valentine's Day candy in the drugstore the other day and was like, there's a lot of. There's a lot of different stuff in here.
Fran
You know what I liked?
Ria
What?
Fran
The Valentine's Day Fun Dip.
Ria
Yes.
Fran
Fuck.
Ria
Good call. Good call. Yep, the Valentine's Day Fun.
Fran
That shit rock?
Ria
Yep, it did.
Fran
Do you remember your first Valentine or, like, how someone asked you, like, like, I'm talking second grade.
Ria
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember.
Fran
It was a big thing in my family because this kid wrote me my valentine. You know how we did the candy thing? But on his.
Ria
He wrote, you write a little extra something.
Fran
He wrote, to my girlfriend from your boyfriend.
Ria
Oh, my God.
Fran
And my parents were like. They're like, he's just your boyfriend now.
Ria
Yeah. Yeah, I guess. Yeah.
Fran
They were like, well, how bold of this kid. Just write, to my girlfriend from your boyfriend. I was like, I guess I'm taken.
Ria
Yeah, I'm taking. It was actually second grade for me as well. There was a boy who. And I. And I'm pretty sure maybe there was like, a little extra valentine or something, but he, like, he would always call my house and ask for me to come over a play date. And I was like, I don't want to go. He's a boy. I don't want to go. And eventually my mom made me go, and it was a lovely. It was a lovely play date.
Fran
You had a good play date?
Ria
Yeah, he had a really cool house.
Fran
The best.
Ria
Yeah. Like, and he lives, like, on a. On a. Like, this is going to sound silly, but, like, a forest. It was like. It was a lot of land, a.
Noah
Part of this family.
Ria
It was a lot of, like, cool stuff around, you know? Yeah. And, well, he would leave voicemails, and they were, like, really cute. My mom saved them for a while. They're gone now because, like, as we got older, we would laugh about it because, you know, we had stayed friends for a long time. And he would, like, leave voicemails being.
Fran
Like, hi, that's so cute.
Ria
I really want Francesca to come over for a play date. Like, it was very.
Fran
Was that the one and only play?
Ria
My grandma, like, literally wanted us to get, like, my grandma, like, would bring him up when I was, like, in high school and be like, you still see him. You guys should. You should go out with him.
Fran
Reconnect.
Ria
Yeah. Like, maybe. Yeah, I. I know exactly where he is. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Fran
What's going on?
Ria
He's married.
Fran
Oh, nice.
Ria
Yeah. Yes.
Fran
Congratulations. Yeah, that's really good.
Ria
Lovely for him, I know, But I actually feel like I would consider him my first valentine.
Fran
That's cute. Yeah, that's nice.
Ria
Second grade is probably the second grade.
Fran
Is the time, you know, because it.
Ria
Was like, you would get them in your. In your paper bag and you would go through. Because some of them would have, like, one extra little message that you'd be like, what does this mean?
Fran
Right?
Ria
Like, as you got older, crushes, like, fourth, fifth grade, when, like, the actual crushes, like, started to happen. Be like, oh, my God.
Fran
Right?
Ria
He left. He wrote, he signed his name, but he put a heart next to his name.
Fran
Right? Like, we're so in love.
Ria
Does he love me? Yes, he must.
Fran
Oh, absolutely. All the time.
Ria
He must. That was so fun. I. I hope kids still do that.
Fran
I hope so, too. You know, I don't know with kids these days. You know what I mean? They probably just Snapchat each other saying, like, so true. Happy Valentine's Day. You know?
Ria
So true. And there's, like, 50. They send it to all the girls.
Fran
That are right, and they're making that same face. They're, like, in bed, like.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
You know, doing, like, a little duck face. And they're like, happy Valentine's Day.
Ria
I gotta ask my.
Noah
Do kids, though, that age have phones?
Ria
If they do.
Fran
If they do it this day and age, I wouldn't be surprised what age. No, they don't have in second grade.
Ria
My God.
Fran
I'm talking more like fifth grade.
Ria
You're talking, like, middle school. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that I'm hoping that age they do still give each other.
Fran
Oh, my God. Do you think. Do you think things are gonna get crazy at the sweet 16 because it's Valentine's Day weekend.
Ria
Oh, it might. It may pop off.
Noah
You should start, like, facilitating. Like, I think he said that he likes.
Ria
Yeah. Be like, oh, my God, Like, Sam gave me a Valentine's Day card, but now he's off kissing Nicole in the corner of the sweet 16.
Fran
You know, things are gonna get crazy. Things are gonna get crazy.
Ria
They are.
Fran
I'm.
Ria
Any favorite Valentine's Day memories? Noah?
Noah
No, I.
Fran
No, we asked Noah if he had a valentine this year.
Ria
Yeah, he doesn't. He's available.
Fran
He's available. If anybody's looking for a Valentine, my.
Noah
Mom actually said to check my mail tonight. Oh, and then my sister, we were all FaceTiming together. My sister's like, she only sent it because I sent that. My friend. My friend's mom got sent something, so now she felt bad, so she sent us over.
Fran
That's sweet, though. Do you think she sent it to your brother too, though?
Noah
Yeah, I would think that she would send it to all three of us. I don't think she just. But I mean, I am her favorite, so.
Ria
That's true.
Fran
That is true.
Ria
That's true.
Fran
That's nice.
Ria
Love a little Valentine's Day candy delivery.
Fran
I love Valentine's Day carry candy. I love, like, chocolate covered strawberries. I mean, any day of the year.
Ria
But yeah, my aunt, she's so cute. She always announced she'd do it for sometimes Valentine's Day, but always Halloween. She sends all of us Halloween candy in the mail, like, so sweet. And mails them to all the cousins. And this year, mine said that this would be my last one.
Fran
Fair. She was like, you're married now.
Ria
It's like, you're 30 and married. This is it.
Noah
Literally.
Ria
It's like she wrote, this is going to be the last one until there's like, a new baby that needs Halloween candy. I was like, okay, noted.
Fran
Fair. Checkmate.
Ria
Yep, noted.
Fran
I'm excited to make these raviolis. Although nervous. My first time making homemade raviolis.
Ria
No, you'll crush it.
Fran
We're gonna be chefing it up in the kitchen.
Ria
You gotta hang out with when she does them because my mother in law, she.
Fran
She makes good raviolis.
Ria
Homemade.
Fran
Oh.
Ria
And she rolls them all.
Fran
She's like, maybe I'll text you, like.

Ria
Well, Happy Valentine's Day, everybody.

Happy Valentine's Day.
Ria
And if you don't have a Valentine's today, wear your Valentine's Day.
Fran
I was just gonna say, we're your valentine.
Ria
Will be your valentine.
Fran
Any. We're everybody's Valentine. We. Anybody smooches, anybody could be a Valentine.
Ria
Xoxo.
Fran
Rhea and Fran. Chicks in the office.
Ria
You know, one year I actually did try and do like a full. I thought I was being so like Gossip Girl. I did for Valentine's Day, Joe and I were like, let's book a hotel. Let's do something. We actually say what would be. I think it is actually called the Empire. The one that's kind of near Lincoln Square.
Fran
Yeah, the Gossip Girl one.
Ria
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Noah
The one with like the giant sun. Yeah, the red sun.
Ria
Yep. Stayed there for the night, went to dinner, drinks.
Fran
Sexy.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Nice.
Ria
You know, that's when we were like really trying hard, you know.
Noah
Was that the Modern Family episode where Phil and Claire, like, they have like alter egos and they meet at. Remember that?
Ria
Yes.
Noah
I feel like that was like a Valentine's Day episode.
Ria
Yes. I think it is. So lovely. Everyone, enjoy your day.
Fran
Enjoy your lovely Valentine's Day, your sexy little holiday in any way that you will. Introducing innovation from the award winning number one dry shampoo. Brand new Batiste Light Dry Shampoo is our lightest dry shampoo ever. Addressing some of the main reasons you may not be already using dry shampoo. It blends seamlessly in hair and leaves no visible white residue. Which is so important because the reason that we're using dry shampoo is because we want a clean, refreshed look. We don't want white residue in our hair, leaving it not clean and refreshed looking. Which is why Batiste knows what to do. It's lightweight and non gritty, absorbing oil and grease for cleaner looking hair without weighing it down. Batiste Light Dry shampoo comes in two soft and subtle scents, Mellow melon and Zen matcha. I love the melon scent, preferably, but I also love me some matcha matches. So whichever way I'm getting Batiste Shampoo dry shampoo, and I'm happy about it. So buy Batiste Light Dry Shampoo online or in store at your nearest retailer. I'm in the in the process now of my invitations have officially been sent and people have been receiving them.
Ria
I haven't opened my mailbox in like two weeks, so I gotta check.
Fran
Yeah, I'll know you'll be there.
Ria
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
Hopefully clear your schedule. Yeah, yeah. But now I'm doing the thing where I'm like refreshing constantly. Like, who's rsvp? Don't forget to rsvp.
Ria
Do you get email notifications?
Fran
Yes, I do. I was thinking about putting on the whole notifications or just get sent to my phone, but then I thought, how.
Noah
Did you decide not to do a physical rsvp?
Fran
Because I'm so bad at sending in a physical RSVP that I thought I'm also so bad at checking my mail that I thought this would be a Fucking disaster. If I tried to do a mail in rsvp. Yeah, disastrous. It's so easy. Log on to the website, do the whole thing. Boom, boom.
Ria
Just makes it easier for everybody. I know that it's the super tradition. You get all the stationary, everything, and. Yeah, but then it's like, then you got to get the little cards and then. And then you out. You have to. Not only do you have to put stamps on all your invitations, you have to put stamps on the little envelope for the return card because it's a whole. They have to send, though. Like, there needs to be a state you don't need. The people coming into the wedding aren't gonna. They need an already stamped envelope. It's a lot.
Fran
It's a lot. And let me tell you, I'm already doing enough traditional things that I just. Just to go on.
Noah
For the older people, they're probably confused, right?
Fran
It just says exactly what to do. Log on to the website. Here's the password. Rsvp.
Ria
Yeah. I think everyone's. I think everyone's really got a hang of it these days, right? None of the older folks that came to my wedding had any problems with rsvp.
Fran
I can't stop refreshing, though. I'm.
Ria
That is. That is the craziest part. I do think, like, it is smooth sailing with wedding planning when you get everything done, like early on in the beginning, and then you have those months where you're like, I'm not doing anything. Should I be doing something? And then the RSVPs come through, and then that's when you start thinking, all right, this person's coming, this person's coming. What's the. What's that table gonna look like? Where's this table gonna go?
Fran
Oh, I'm so excited to do that eating chart.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Are super excited for respond.
Ria
Wow.
Fran
What does RSVP stand for?
Ria
Rsv. Very promptly. Is that what it is? Is it French? Of course it is. It's French. Sivu play.
Noah
Oh, yeah. Wow. That kind of would be cooler to say.
Ria
Is this.
Noah
Respond, Respond as si vous play. Yeah, I don't know how you pronounce.
Ria
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll let that. So please respond in French.
Fran
Please respond. So we could be calling it a pr.
Ria
Please respond.
Noah
Yeah, that is kind of like desperate. Please respond, please.
Fran
Well, it's.
Ria
Well, that's what you're saying. Please respond. Please respond.
Fran
Please respond.
Ria
RCP Sivuplai.
Noah
This says the RS3P is no longer used much in France, where it is considered formal and old fashioned.
Ria
Ah. Interesting.
Noah
Learn something new every day.
Ria
Please reply. You do. I would have never guessed it was French.
Fran
Me either. I thought it was. Stood for something that I never even thought about.
Ria
Did you guys know that? No.
Noah
How did. Yeah, I was gonna say translates to respond if you please.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Oh, respond if you please.
Ria
Please respond.
Fran
I, like, please respond better. Respond if you please isn't really demanding.
Ria
I don't care. Yeah, like, I don't care what you think.
Fran
Please respond. Yeah, respond if you please means, like, it's up to you. Leisurely.
Noah
If, like, someone doesn't respond, like, do you just say, oh, I. I.
Fran
Well, there's a date. So by that date before, a couple of days before that date, you start checking in on the people who have a response. Hey, what's the answer?
Ria
You have to send out text messages. Hey, haven't gotten your OCP yet.
Fran
Yeah, that whole. That whole thing.
Ria
Yep.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Well, I think it's also normally thought that if you're. If you don't hear back, they're not coming, but you do.
Fran
You have to double check.
Ria
And it's also, like, anybody that you're inviting to your wedding, you should be able to text to say, hey, come to the wedding.
Fran
Right, right, Exactly.
Ria
You should be like, if it's weird to reach out, why are they invited to your wedding in the first place?
Fran
Should be easy to contact.
Ria
And even if it's maybe somebody from your parents or whatever, it's like, then I say, hey, mom, can you call so and so and ask them? Yeah, right.
Fran
Exactly. I'm so excited.
Ria
Almost there. That was really it. Joe and I were going through the. The coming weeks, and I was like, I mean, we're. It's so close.
Fran
It is so close. I can't forget.
Ria
So close.
Fran
I'm so excited. Oh, my God. Okay. I have to get shoes. Like, you know. Yeah. I had to do shoes.
Ria
Shoes were maybe my toughest battle.
Fran
Really?
Ria
Yeah. I think I ordered and returned, like, 15 different pairs of shoes.
Fran
I think I'll probably just go with the one and only shoe pair I order.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Just because I'm lazy.
Ria
Well, God knows you won't return them.
Fran
Don't go there right now, Francesca. Okay.
Ria
Yep.
Fran
Please.
Ria
Ria was sending me two different dresses from the same place for potential bachelorette party outfits. I said, you couldn't decide. Both of them are great, but it's like, you need to try them on in real life and see how you feel. So I was like, order both of them, but for the love of God, return the one that you don't wear.
Fran
I'm so bad at returning. I'm really bad at returning. It is a fault of mine. It is a flaw. We all have our flaws. We can't all be perfect. We are flawed human beings. And one of my flaws.
Ria
Putting things in the mail to return them.
Fran
Yes. Which is once again, where it comes down to mail being not a strong suit for me. Which then, full circle, here is why I didn't do mail in rsvp.
Ria
Yep. Exactly.
Fran
You know what I mean?
Ria
Exactly. So let's hope that one pair of shoes that you order is the one that works.
Fran
That's the one I'm going with. Or two, you know, maybe I'll get two pairs.
Ria
Yeah. Yeah. You might want to change them, too.
Fran
I might. Because here's the thing. You really won't be able to see my shoes.
Ria
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
You won't be able to see my shoes at all. So really, comfortability is what I'm going for here.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
You know, definitely.
Ria
But you got to. You got to take some of them for test ride. Maybe you go to the mall.
Fran
I think. I think I'm going to maybe not go to the mall, but like, go to some stores around in the city and try some. Just.
Ria
You gotta let. You gotta walk around. You gotta put.
Fran
I gotta test it out.
Ria
You gotta test.
Fran
I gotta take those babies for a ride.
Ria
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
If anybody has any suggestions, let me know. For most comfortable shoe.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Slide in.
Ria
I did enjoy.
Fran
I did enjoy tonight. No, it wasn't. But, hey, she's on one today, ladies and gentlemen.
Ria
I did like. All the shoes that I wore were fairly comfortable. I will say.
Fran
Good.
Ria
Stuart Weitzman and Badgie Misko are the.
Fran
Other two that I wore for my second dress. I will probably do more of a rehearsal dinner, too.
Ria
No. Yes. Yes.
Fran
Actually, you're so right. I need three pairs of shoes. I have to do that soon because my first fitting is February 25th.
Ria
Oh, yeah. Then you need. You need.
Fran
So I need the shoe.
Noah
Is it black tie?
Ria
Yep.
Fran
It's black tie optional. And the reason you tell me.
Ria
Okay, so here's why I think this is black. This is the most. This is the best conversation to have. And I'm sure everybody listening has had this. Black tie optional. Do you want people in black tie or do you not want people in black tie?
Fran
And here's the thing. I went. I know that black tie optional is a very confusing dress code.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
The reason I went with black tie optional is because it's more. So like, the ladies will know, you know, Fancier dress. You know, I want people to wear. I want people to show out whatever they want to wear. You know what I mean? You want to get dressed up to the nines. You dress up to the nines. It's more so that guys know they don't have to get a full on tuxedo.
Ria
Right.
Fran
It's like you can get a dark suit, but a nice suit. Like a nice tie, nice suit. Like, it's not like you don't have to go rent a tux.
Ria
Suit and tie.
Noah
Yeah, no, suit and tie for sure. But if it's like a lighter gray, maybe not like it's a lighter gray suit. I should just get a black suit at that point.
Fran
It's more like get a darker suit.
Noah
Okay, so yeah, I'll get a darker suit.
Fran
But I. But then here's the thing. Now I feel bad being picky and it's like, that's my problem. I want black dia optional dressing.
Noah
I don't want to be standing up.
Ria
Yeah, I think that's exactly what. Black tie optional.
Noah
But I think we have that. You're always gonna have people who show up in like. Not that.
Fran
Right. It is what it is.
Noah
I went to a black tie.
Fran
I'm not being a stickler about it.
Noah
In like a gray suit with a green shirt one time.
Ria
What?
Noah
Because I didn't realize it.
Fran
I hate the sound of a gray suit with a green shirt.
Ria
What color black tie wedding?
Noah
No, I had a tie.
Ria
What color green stick out like a sore thing.
Noah
Well, I was worried about that, but then there were people there who weren't wearing like dark suits.
Ria
There is always one guy I find no matter any wedding I go to that is just so off from the dress code that you're like, I'm sorry, what are you wearing?
Fran
I went to a black tie wedding once and somebody was in jeans.
Ria
What? Yeah, a wedding I went to last summer. It was black tie optional. Maybe. Or it might have been more. It may have to me. But. But they. But he was in a tan suit. Tan suit, no tie.
Fran
Yeah. That doesn't scream black.
Ria
And I was like, are you the groom at the rehearsal dinner? Like, what's. You know.
Fran
Right. No, a black tie optical to me means like dress. Dress to impress.
Ria
Yeah. Just. You don't have to be in a tux.
Fran
There's not. You don't have to go rent a tuxedo or buy a tuxedo.
Ria
I agree. But I think that dark color suit and tie.
Fran
But hey, I'm not gonna be a stickler about it you show up wearing that. Whatever the you want to wear. I don't give a. Yeah, it's.
Noah
Should I just buy a tuxedo? Like, do. Do. Must be like own tuxedos.
Ria
I will say, eventually Joe purchased a tuxedo because you go. So many weddings he was in, he. It started to be like.
Noah
But then, like, a lot of times I should have your groomsmen. Sometimes you need to wear a specific type and, like, you're gonna have to rent either way.
Ria
Yeah. But most. Most of the time, like, people go pretty stick. Like, if you get a pretty standard tuxedo, of course he's wearing a toxic wedding.
Fran
Oh, no. But he owns like a million different color suits.
Ria
Yeah. Yeah. I think it's like, if you're a groomsman and it's a tuxedo, normally they all really look the same. Unless you're get.
Fran
You're getting really out there if they go different colors and shit, you know. Yeah.
Ria
It's worth the investment. If you do feel like you will be in a lot of weddings or attending black, you know, a lot of black.
Fran
If you want to spice it up for my wedding and you go buy a tux and you want that to be the debut, I might steal the.
Noah
Attention away from you.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Oh, my God. Don't. Don't steal my thunder.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
No, you do you. But here's the thing. When it comes to, like, your wedding day and what people show up in, like, yes, of course you want. It's respectful to show up with what the bride and groom ask for. But at the end of the day, it's our wedding day. Am I going to be focused on what people are wearing? Not a single bit.
Ria
Like, you're really not.
Fran
I'm just going to be focused on, like, literally being with the love of my life in the middle of the dance floor, surrounded by all of our family and friends having the time of our life, like, am I going to be like, that guy wore a gray suit?
Ria
No, you're.
Fran
No, you're not. Realistically. No, you're not.
Ria
You know, you're totally not at all.
Fran
Yeah, so it. Yeah, but like, don't wear a gray suit. No.
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
Okay. That's all I need to hear.
Ria
There you go.
Fran
I'm even confused about the dress code. All right, let's get into the rest of the show here.
Ria
Also, nothing is worse for a guy, too, than if it's black tie optional and they show up in a tux and. No, none of the other guests are in tuxes.
Noah
That also, you don't want to be over. You don't want to be.
Fran
No. There. There will. I know a ton of people will do this.
Ria
It happened to my dad at a wedding they went to recently, and he got so mad at my mom because it was black tie optional and he wore tux. And only the wedding party and, like, family were in tuxedos and not a single. Yeah.
Noah
Then you're like, are you trying to be in the wedding party, buddy?
Ria
And my dad was like, why did.
Fran
You tell me to wear this? That's funny. That makes sense. Well, the good news is we don't have wedding parties. It's just best man and maid of honor, so. And like, both of our dads will be in Texas. It's so. It's like, I. I know some family members will be in talks and whatever. Dark suits. Who cares? You got me confused now. So whatever. Where you want. Anyways, anyway.
Ria
Yes. Topics.
Fran
Anyways. Topic train. Let's get into it. We're gonna be talking about the Jonas Beller's announcements. They're full of them. All they do is announce Lindsay husband Hubbard on Watch Happens Live revealed that she still is with her boyfriend. There was a rumor. We talked about it. She's still with him. Reese Witherspoon finally announced who is going to be the new Elle Woods. A little cute video. And Taylor Lautner will be starring in a new werewolf TV show. Classic. He's bringing it back around. And we have a great game of trivia. So let's get into the topics. Chicks in the Office is sponsored by Truly Truly Hard Seltzer is surprisingly light, refreshing, and easy to drink. Right now, I am holding my favorite flavor. This is the Mountain paradise flavor. And this is just absolutely divine. Delicious, refreshing. It is what I like to call peak refreshment. And it has it right on the can to let you know that it is peak refreshment. Each can is 5% alcohol, only 100 calories and 1 gram of sugar. And like I said, it gives you that peak refreshment. I'm holding my favorite flavor. Mountain Paradise. Get it? It's a little play on words. Paradise Parrots pear flavor. Love it. I also have the strawberry lime Nex Me, which is a classic flavor. Also another classic flavor is the wild berry. Tastes. Mmm. So delicious. I'm actually thirsty now. I'm really craving one. But this pear in my hand, I might have to crack open right when we end this show as a nice little treat. So it all comes in delicious flavors. Like I mentioned, the strawberry lemonade. There's Strawberry lime. There's pineapple. And the fan favorite, which is wild berry. It is the official heart seltzer of chicks in the office. Look at that. Right in my hand. You can find it at a store near you or go to www.trulyhardsaltzer.com and find out where to pick up some cans for yourself. Truly Hard Seltzer. Make sure you get some peak refreshment in your life. Maybe try the pear flavor, which is my favorite. Cheers, everybody. The Jonas Brothers are back at it, announcing things. How do you feel about that?
Ria
More announcements. I'm excited. I think it's going to be good. I think a lot of people freaked out because they saw a long note posted and everyone got PTSD and was like, is this a breakup post?
Fran
I totally did. I was sitting on the toilet and I was scrolling.
Ria
Paint the picture for you.
Fran
If everybody wants the clear view picture I was doing.
Ria
I was on the john.
Fran
I was sitting on the john, relaxing. Opened up Instagram to do a scroll. Saw this announcement. I perched up.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
I said, my butt cheeks clenched up. I couldn't go after that. I was like, oh, my God. I'm like, oh, God. So then I read it and I thought, oh, my God. Are they fucking announcing a breakup? And my heart stopped for you a bit. I was like, wow. And then. Then part of me was like, but wait.
Noah
It's almost like they've been broken up in a way, because they haven't done anything together.
Fran
The thing is, the Jonas Brothers are not.
Ria
What are you talking about? They're all. They're all filming a Christmas movie right.
Noah
Now, which we haven't seen. We're not gonna see until the end of the year.
Fran
The Jonas Brothers are in a situation.
Ria
You know what, Noah?
Fran
You know. No, you've been doing a lot of talking lately.
Ria
Pipe down. Everything's totally fine. They're celebrating the 20th anniversary of being brothers.
Fran
They are. They are in a situationship with each other. Like, sometimes it's really good and sometimes it's really bad. And it feels like they hit a little moment where Nick wanted to venture back into his Broadway dreams. He's a Broadway star. He's been on Broadway before. And he's back at it. He's gonna be back at it again. Are you gonna go, absolutely, duh, Duh. So he's gonna be in Broadway again. And they're like, oh, it's our 20th anniversary. We have more announcements in the coming days. Which, by the way, has there been another announcement since this one? They said, in the coming days.
Ria
Came last night? Yes. You know, no rush. It'll be coming.
Fran
Was it last night or two days ago?
Ria
No, it was. Well, when you're all listening, it'll be. Maybe the announcement will come right now when everybody's listening.
Fran
Right. And it's just like, announcement.
Ria
It was announced Wednesday night.
Fran
It's just announcement after announcement. And we got Christmas cookies, let me tell you, chocolates. And Christmas movies. And we got a book. And we got this coming out. We. That coming out.
Ria
But guess what? When they have announcements, they love announcing.
Fran
Announcements and they love teasing things.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
It's like.
Ria
It's like we love to announce.
Fran
Such a niche joke that I'm about to make right now. But it was like when YP used to do barstool outdoors and he would drop, like, those insane trailers but never release the episodes to the show of Barcelona outdoors.
Ria
Yep.
Fran
He dropped the sickest trailers of all time without ever dropping episodes. About this. You guys remember that?
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
That's the Jonas Brothers.
Ria
I mean, guys, there will be. There's gonna be a lot. I think that people think there may be a tour. I know that that has been rumored.
Fran
Maybe a tour.
Ria
Maybe a tour. Now, if you. The whole note, which was, you know, reflecting on the 20 years celebrating this journey, there was a video that went along with it as well. That was adorable. A lot of fan moments. Good throwback moments. But in the Note, they wrote, 20, 25 will be a year of music. New Jonas Brothers music, solo music, a live concert album.
Fran
Yeah. If they ever fucking go on concert.
Ria
Well, they went on tour last year there. They have a live concert album, probably ready to go.
Fran
You know I'm just trolling, right?
Ria
Yes.
Fran
I feel bad. I'm, like, trolling so hard right now. Like. Yeah, it's just the Jonas Builders are easy to troll with how much they announce and don't.
Noah
But, like, give France a great example. Like, I feel like their fans, like, they could tease a million things and never put anything up, but they'll still be, like, on the edge of their seat for every single.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Because they got us wrapped around their little finger.
Fran
They know that truly little. They're short.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Unnecessary, Maria. Unnecessary Jab.
Ria
Be nice to the Jones Brothers for me.
Fran
If they be nice to us, what are we.
Ria
What are we gonna do?
Fran
They're not nice to us. They don't.
Ria
They're not not nice.
Fran
They hate us.
Ria
They're not not nice.
Noah
Frankie is nice.
Ria
They're not not nice.
Fran
You're right.
Ria
You know, you're right. You're right, Nick. Returns to Broadway this spring for the last five years, and they have nearly wrapped on their holiday movie that they can't wait for everyone to see this fall. Expect a lot more announcements over the coming days.
Fran
Yippee.
Noah
They're teasing announcements.
Fran
That's what they're doing.
Ria
All they do is tease. They're teasing an announcement.
Fran
They're so flirty.
Ria
They are. They love teasing and announcing.
Noah
They're a big. Like, if you could assign one emoji to them, it'd be like, the winky face emoji. Yeah.
Ria
So true.
Fran
So true. So spot on.
Ria
Let's not forget when they. When they postpone those tour dates and, like, they made that video and Nick was like, like, you'll know soon enough, like, why we had to postpone these shows. We have a lot of exciting things coming up.
Fran
It's like.
Ria
But where they're working. The exciting thing of that movie he commented on.
Fran
Oh, you, of course, were invited. Did I talk about that?
Ria
No, you didn't. Oh, my God. Another movie in Ireland.
Fran
Let me say this, though.
Ria
Last summer, because we didn't have a.
Fran
Weekly watch report, I watched you're cordially invited with Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell. I thought it was really cute and funny. I really enjoyed myself watching it. And the Nick Jonas appearance. I almost fell off the couch. He looked fantastic. I have to say. He had the perfect role. I was, like, literally hollering at my t. Like, I was, like, barking at my TV about it, and my parents were like. I watched my parents. Like, all right, slow down. Like, he looked great, though, and it was a great role for him. It really was. See, I'm capable of complimenting the Jonas Brothers. I love the Jonas Brothers. It's more just like, they're easy to freaking, you know, make fun of stuff.
Ria
When there's things that aren't fully coming to fruition. It's like. And Joe just did a solo concert in Florida somewhere.
Fran
He did, Pretty sure.
Ria
And even that, he's like, oh, you know, it's. The music's coming.
Fran
Joe just refreshed.
Ria
He does. He looks fantastic. I think there's just times when it's. And I'm assuming it's frustrating for them a little bit too, because they have so many things going on together, but then also individually, and then they have to kind of compromise and. And fit things into each other's schedules of, like, oh, Joe recorded this solo album. Well, actually, we're gonna delay it a little bit. And then Nick's on Broadway, so maybe we don't want the solo album to come out right when Nick's on Broadway. Or maybe we do want the solo album to come out when Nick's on Broadway. So they're doing. You know, he's here, New York, promoting the album, and. And Nick's on Broadway. And it's. You know, you never know what's. You ever know what it got planned. But they move stuff around all the time, for sure.
Fran
Question.
Ria
It looks like we're guaranteeing Jonas Brothers music. Solo music. A soundtrack. A soundtrack, I'm guessing for the. The Christmas movie. A full Christmas album. Yes.
Fran
Do they always sign Kevin's name first because he's the oldest, or do they do it just because they shine?
Ria
They go in age order.
Fran
That's what I figured.
Ria
Kevin, Joe, Nick.
Fran
Yeah, that's appropriate.
Ria
You know what's so crazy is I think that if I closed my eyes and had not seen this. Not right now, if I had not seen this note, if you were to give me a pen and paper right now and say, do your best, Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas signature, I think I'd be really close.
Fran
Really?
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
We should do. We should make a video on that.
Ria
Yeah, I think I'd be really. Well, now I'm looking at it.
Fran
Don't study it.
Ria
Now I'm looking at it as a problem. But if I had not seen it, Joe always goes with a big J.
Fran
Is that why you do your Fs like that?
Ria
No, I know my F is very different. I actually took my F from the way that my Grandma does her Fs. Like, every time she would write me a note, that's how she would do the cursive. F. Oh, cute. And I kind of adopted it from there. Aw, that's really sweet.
Fran
I love that.
Ria
Thank you.
Fran
You should get a tattoo F with your grandma's handwriting.
Ria
That would be nice. I say I just have all their cards saved. She has be my dad's mom. She has beautiful handwriting.
Fran
Isn't that the best? When you see someone's handwriting, that's just really nice.
Ria
Beautiful cursive, and you're just like, who?
Fran
You know. She gave you that ability.
Ria
Yeah, she's an artist. I wish that got passed down to anybody in my. It really didn't. But she's a fantastic artist painter. Draw.
Fran
That's gorgeous.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Oh, I love when I see some good handwriting.
Noah
Handwriting's gonna be, like, a thing of the past soon.
Ria
I feel like I know. I don't even know if kids learn cursive anymore in the schools. I got a Lot of questions about what the kids are learning in schools these days.
Noah
I don't know.
Fran
Truly you are.
Ria
What are the kids doing in the schools these days?
Fran
Yeah, we should just go shadow a school one day.
Ria
I mean, I have a full blown handwriting class.
Fran
So did I.
Ria
That was like in fifth grade, we had to pass cursive.
Fran
And let me tell you, they were so serious about the fact that when you got to high school that you are not going to be allowed to write in print. And then when I got to high school, they were like, do not write in script.
Ria
Ours was in middle school.
Fran
He was like, yeah, they were like, very serious about it. They were like, we can't read your cursive or script or whatever you want to call it. You need to write in print. We're not going to sit here and try and read your cursive. And then I was like, well, why did we go through all this stress just for me to be able to write my like signature? I could have just learned my signature.
Ria
Catholic school, it's the same way. It was like fifth grade. It was, was. We were absolutely terrified. We had to pass handwriting to, to learn cursive. And they told us, like, you will not be able to write in print in, in middle school. Like, they're like, when you move, when you move to the middle school for sixth grade, everything has to be in cursive.
Fran
And that wasn't the case. Yeah, it's also the same thing with like math and they were like learning cursive. You're not gonna be able to use a calculator. You're not gonna be able to use a calculator in real life.
Ria
Well, they also changed how the way they teach math recently in like the last decade or so, because I've from babysitting and doing things like that, like helping kids with homework. There was years early on, probably like 2016, 2017, when I was babysitting a lot, where I was looking at like doing math and this girl who was in, you know, probably third grade was like, you're doing it wrong.
Fran
I was like, what do you mean.
Ria
I'm doing it wrong?
Noah
If you were handed some sheets from when you were in 12th grade, could.
Ria
You do it 12th grade?
Noah
No, I don't think I could do anything.
Ria
It was great. Trigonometry, recalculus.
Fran
I was barely passing any math class in high school. I was so bad at math.
Noah
And it really does. You don't need to use it for anything in your life. No, you learn the basics and that's.
Fran
They should have taught us actual things like taxes and stuff.
Ria
So many.
Fran
Like, yeah, truly, but they didn't do that. Well. Anyways, moving on from the Jonas Brothers.
Ria
Well, let me just be on record to say that I'm very excited for all the exciting announcements that they have coming. 2025, the year that sounded like what.
Noah
They said in that one video.
Ria
The year of The Jo's Brothers.
Fran
2025 is the year of the Joe.
Ria
Brothers 20th anniversary, baby. You're gonna have a lot of good stuff cooked up.
Noah
We're excited for our announcements.
Fran
And no mention of that damn book. The least they could do in their 20 year anniversary could be like, no and no.
Ria
Not even.
Fran
Put the book out. Say the book's not coming anymore.
Ria
Yeah, yeah, right.
Fran
Just give us an answer.
Ria
Give us an answer about the book, if anything.
Fran
Give us an answer about the book.
Ria
If anything would really make sense for right now.
Fran
Right. And Joe, if you want to cut the shit out about Sophie Turner, then cut it out. Yeah, no one's gonna sue you. You know what I mean? I imagine he wrote some things in there. Just take the chapters out.
Ria
She could.
Fran
Good, right? No, if she. If he cuts it out. If he cuts it out, those are.
Noah
Chapters of his life.
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
You can't just delete your.
Fran
In the book. He can.
Noah
I agree, but like, why would you.
Fran
He probably doesn't want it out there. That's why.
Ria
It's just too.
Fran
That's why he's not releasing.
Noah
Add a chapter about this.
Fran
The divorce. Right. Well then that's where the suing comes in.
Ria
Solo album.
Fran
You're right. So true.

Fran
Well, anyways, congrats to the donor spellers on 20 years and more announcements to come here. More more us talking about their announcements. Old.
Ria
Well, 20 years is so long to be.
Fran
Damn, they got together when you were 10.
Ria
Yeah, but I wasn't like 12. 13 was when I really fully discovered.
Noah
But how long were they split up?
Ria
Brothers?
Noah
How many years technically? Then it wouldn't be 25.
Ria
4.
Fran
Remember when they made a whole documentary about them splitting up, and it was just like, wow, Nick broke up the band.
Ria
Well, they made it when they got back together, right?
Fran
No, when they got back together, it was like, oh, my God, we have the answers.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
So crazy. That was big of them. Okay, next topic. Lindsey Hubbard clears up that she's actually still with her boyfriend Turner, her baby daddy.
Ria
He was Turner?
Fran
Yeah, he was backstage at. Well, the reason I do know that was because during Summer House, she kept saying his name was Turner because Sierra was like, who. Who is this man? You keep saying we, Right? Who's we? I got questions.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Which was funny because they showed Lindsay announcing. I watched Summer House. You didn't.
Ria
I haven't watched the episode yet.
Fran
Yeah, they showed Lindsay announcing to the house that she was pregnant. They got some newcomers in the house. Bailey, Lexi. I think a new guy's coming in later on. A lot of flirtation with Jesse and Lexi. Newcomer. I thought it was a solid first episode. I mean, I was giggling. I was getting laughs out of it.
Ria
I'm excited it's back. It's been. It's been great. But, yeah, that was a. That was a big thing because Dumad said that Lindsey and her. Dumad heard rumors that they were broken up, but he was there and backstage, and Andy said he met. You know, the whole thing. So it sounds like they're working out. It's got to be tough. Tough. Like early on in relationship, you have a new baby. It's trying to navigate your relationship. Plus, there's a baby involved, so.
Fran
Right.
Ria
Hope. I hope they.
Fran
They work it out for sure. I'm liking Lindsay this season already.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
I think, you know, she's pregnant, and she talks about all the things that happened in the past and whatever. I like the girl friendship that's happening right now between all the girls. It looks like they have each other's back. They're hanging in bed. I love it. Love to see it. Feel like we've all been rooting for that. It seems like it happens this season. And then kind of a bomb was dropped at the end of the episode. They picked up cameras, too, for Summer House about the Craig and Paige breakup. So we'll see what happens there. We know they did it for Southern Charm. Now they did it for Summer House.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
So I guess more will be revealed, but there's so many more weeks before that episode, you know, it's kind of like. It was kind of like when we were watching Summer House last year and we were waiting for, like, the Lindsay and Carl.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And then it got to that point, and by that time it was, like, so far gone. I feel like, like, sort of the same thing will probably be happening at that point. But I love Summer House and I'm so happy it's back on. And I think that Jesse and West were great additions last year. I think that they really do bring, like, a different element to the show. Fun, light hearted, whatever. Funny.
Ria
You know, it lightens it all up.
Fran
Right.
Ria
Which is good. So how a show like Summer House should be.
Fran
Right. And I absolutely love Ciara just, like, going in on West. I think it's hilarious.
Ria
It's gonna be so interesting to see how it plays out because I also watched and now there'll be a new episode out already. But last week's Southern Charm they did still to come on this season of Southern Charm. And they did the whole, like, preview. And then they did show the clips of, like, Craig sitting down with Austin and Shep and being like, you know, you're like, mourning somebody that's still alive. And cut from that to now. You see what Paige said.
Fran
It's gonna be a back and forth of both shows.
Ria
Texting two bitches during the. When they caught him during their relationship.
Fran
I.
Ria
This is. It's taking a messy turn. It was. It was getting messy, but it seems to be taking a messy turn that will continue to be messy. I don't know. But.
Fran
And they're both on reality shows that the cameras are gonna pick back up, right?
Ria
Exactly. Exactly. I do love how much all the girls have her back. Like Lindsay and Sarah, both of them on Watch what Happens. I felt like they both really had her back too.
Fran
I felt like Sierra was saying a lot on Watch what happens live in general.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
I wanted to hear more about traitors too. Just because we're so into traitors. I want. But she was cracking me up where she was like, I didn't know any of the traitors. Like she was. I didn't catch on at all, which was funny. But Ciara was being very honest with her thoughts.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
A weird answer from Lindsay about Sierra and Lindsay's friendship. Did you see that?
Ria
No.
Fran
I watched it live.
Ria
Saw the clips, really, about talking about Craig.
Fran
I watched it live about their friendship. And Andy was like, where's one? Somebody wrote in a question like, where does their friendship stand? Sierra and Lindsay? And there was like a pa, A weird pause and Then Lindsay was like, you know, like, the traders thing happened. And then.
Ria
Oh, I forgot.
Fran
Sierra was. Sierra was like, but that wasn't my fault. Like, Sierra looked at her and was like, that wasn't my fault.
Ria
Yeah, but. Yeah. And then Lindsay holding that.
Fran
That again. And then Lindsay was like, but now we're both faithfuls. And Andy did. Andy was really weirded out by the answer. He was like, huh? Like, I don't understand that.
Ria
That's like, not what I asked.
Fran
Yeah, he was like, I don't understand. He didn't like that answer.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And Sierra was kind of like, I feel like we've been good for years. Like, whatever. It was a weird answer by Lindsay. Like, Lindsay holding on to something that had nothing to do with Sierra.
Ria
Maybe she just assumed that people thought that there was friction because of the traders.
Fran
Yeah, but see, she. She like, insinuated that. I guess there was on Lindsay's end, but there was.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Sierra was like, that wasn't my fault. Like, you know, she got the offer, so what are you gonna do there? But I love watching Summer House. I love watching all the girls together. They crack me up. The Sierra page and Jesse dynamic, them laying in bed, like, giggling. I mean, like, gossiping and like, giggling really cracked me up. And I really hope we see more of that in this upcoming season. The newbies will be interesting to see how the dynamic plays out, you know. Cause they're a little bit younger, but they're not so young. They're like 26 and 27.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And, you know, some are going out, some are staying in. I like the dynamic, like, of it all where you. I feel like that does happen, you know, as you get older, whatever. There's gonna be people who want to go out. There's gonna be people who wanna stay in. Like, it is what it is. So I think it's gonna be a good season. I mean, I'm always ready to watch these people on my screen because I feel like they have a good, funny dynamic. And.
Ria
Yeah, I'm intrigued to see how it goes.
Fran
Yeah, it will be.
Noah
I don't know why.
Ria
It's just like every little thing that west, like, sometimes I'm just like. And they had a.
Fran
They had a hilarious scene where Sarah was calling him a loser in bed with Paige and Jesse. And then they just flashed to Wes, like, dancing in the mirror. Mirror of his room. And I was like, it was just a funny cut. Like, I was like, that. This was. This was a funny cut. Yeah, I mean, the. The. The.
Ria
This, like, Persona that west loves the, like, wants the attention. Wants.
Fran
He just puts on this whole, like, you can tell he loves the attention.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Like, it's very obvious.
Ria
I was cracking up because Sam, a Bravo historian, I posted on her story, and I was like, so. Literally. I could not agree more because just, like, some of these things that are, like, so silly and pointless, but, like, just pissed me off so much. It was. He was on some panel, and he's sitting next to Jesse, and he was being asked about Brie because, you know, they've been making out. I don't know what's going on there.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
But he's. He's like. Jesse's sitting up in his seat, and he's sitting like.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And he's like. He's like. He, like, sit in the chair like this. And she wrote like, sit up. Like, you're. You're. You're on a panel, like, in front of people.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Have some manners.
Fran
No, it's crazy. Like, I see.
Ria
I gotta. I. I got you. You need. I see. You just have to be like.
Fran
And I'm just like, what? Like, his head got so big so fast.
Ria
Like, yeah, it.
Fran
From last season, from the beginning of the season, being like, west is so fun. So happy to have him aboard to kind of like a 180 here where I'm like, him and Jesse's dynamic, I do find funny. I think it's like, you know, a breath of fresh air on this show. But that doesn't go without saying that. I think that he has a humongo head from the attention and being on the show and just kind of the vibe. Oh, he made it. He made a TikTok where he was talking. I'm kind of gonna butcher it a little bit, but this was the gist. He was talking about songs that people, like, know all the words to. And he was like, people think they're so cool, like, when they know all the songs to Bedrock or, like, Dreams and Nightmares and, like, whatever. And it's like, why can't people just enjoy. Oh, we get it, West. You like. You like niche music that, like, nobody else knows the words to, you know, like, okay, sick. Like, better off is a great song. Dreams and Nightmares. Great song. Like, let people feel confident when they know all the words, you know, it's just like one of those classic, like, I know more rap songs than you do.
Ria
Right.
Fran
You know, like, I don't know. One of the. I was being a stickler, you know?
Ria
No, it's so fine. I think that there's just, like, there's just certain things that. That rub you the wrong way. I feel that way for sure.
Fran
Yeah. I'm excited to watch the rest of the season, though, because I think they're all funny.
Ria
They are all very entertaining.
Fran
Good dynamic.
Ria
They were. They were. They needed somebody. Like they needed a Jesse and they needed a West.
Fran
For sure.
Ria
They were. They're the right additions for the show.
Fran
Exactly. Moving on. Really. Just a cute update. We have our new L. Woods and Reese Witherspoon was able to tell her. Her name is Lexi Mindtree. She's an up and coming actress. It seems. She was.
Ria
She's her twin.
Fran
Yeah. She was told by Reese Witherspoon, you know, called her into a meeting to tell her that she got the role of Elle Woods. They put in a little snippet of her audition tape. She did the classic, you know, Elle woods, you know, college video, which was so cute. I want to see the full thing. And just a huge congratulations because I'm sure that was such cool moment in the video. She's calling her mom and Reese Witherspoon gets on the phone. She's like, hey, it's Reese Witherspoon. The mom's like, you're kidding me. And then she tells her she got the phone call.
Ria
Your voices sound the same already.
Fran
They do.
Ria
She was, like, already confused because I think Reese was speaking at the beginning of the phone call and I think the. Her mom, like, thought it was her. She was. Then she's like, oh, by the way, this is Reese Witherspoon.
Fran
So good. I'm so happy for her. That's so awesome. That's so cool to be able to get that call. And that meeting is just so, so cool.
Ria
Just like, really crazy how genetics work.
Fran
Right?
Ria
Like, not. I mean, they're not related at all. Right. But I'm saying, like, her. Her daughter, Reese's daughter does look just like her. And like, this girl. Oh, my God. Just looks just like her.
Fran
The crazy thing is, though, she looks like the perfect man mix.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Of Ryan and Reese Witherspoon.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Like, it is. It is the perfect mix. But congrats to her. Really. Some big shoes to fill. But I think it's gonna be cute and awesome and I'm excited for it. So congrats. And then another congrats to Taylor Lautner, who is going to be in a new TV series, Werewolf Hunter. Now, we've seen. We've seen this play before with Taylor Lautner as a werewolf. But Variety announced after wrapping the final Twilight film, Taylor Lautner vanished from the spotlight. Fans speculated, tabloids theorized. But the truth is wilder than fiction. Taylor wasn't just taking a mental health break. He was preparing for his real calling. Taylor Lautner, werewolf hunter. Playing himself, Taylor is drawn into a secret society of werewolf trackers who need his unique expertise as he navigates his double life. Hollywood actor by day, supernatural warrior by night, Taylor must wrestle with the ultimate irony. Fighting the victim very creatures that made him famous. Between saving the world, reviving his career and falling in love, he faces the ultimate question. What happens when your biggest role becomes your greatest enemy? Dun, dun, dun.
Ria
I love this. I think it's very cool. I think it's very funny. Think it's very, you know, embrace it. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Like lean in right fully and like do something funny with it and creative with it. Which this is like, I think this is a really creative way to do it. It's not just like playing another werewolf on TV or like doing something else or another movie. It's like a funny meta thing to do, which I am excited to watch. I think it's been really good, for sure.
Fran
I think this is the avenue you go when all anybody can do is say, where the hell you been, loca? And talk about how you are a werewolf. You might as well just lean into being the werewolf. So congrats, Taylor Lautner.
Ria
Love it.
Fran
We're happy, Taylor.
Ria
Yep.
Fran
Good, good work there. And you go get your hunting on.
Ria
Seriously, go do it. Keep watching.

Fran
Yes.
Ria
No.
Noah
Feminominom.
Ria
Nope. Nope.
Fran
What's the answer? I don't. I don't.
Ria
I don't know Papa John's. That's my guess. Okay, that's my guess. Papa John's correct. Nice.
Noah
Get it hot. Get it hot. Like Papa John.
Ria
There's one part of the song where it sounds like she always says, like, I think she's saying Ron Konkuma, which she's obviously not, but that's it. Yeah, but Ron Komkoma.
Fran
I don't think Papa John's, like, immediately go fast food for me. Like, I know Papa John's is fast food.
Noah
So here's the thing.
Fran
I know it's fast food, but for me, in my head, I'm thinking, no.
Ria
I wouldn't send Donald's, Wendy's, Taco Bell.
Noah
I will say that Carly from Colorado originally had famous pizza chain, and I switched it because I thought that was too obvious because how many pizza chains are there?
Fran
I mean, there's. There's a little. I mean, like, at least three Papa John's, Domino's Pizza.
Ria
Constructive criticism. I would have maybe made that like fast, casual fast food.
Fran
I wasn't thinking Papa John's. I wasn't. But Fran got the answer, and this is really was a Fran game. I have to be honest. This was. This was a franny game. 7, 3, 7, 3. Thank you guys so much for playing.
Ria
You know what? Guess what? At the end of the day, we're all winners. Go birds.
Fran
Yeah, go birds. You know, I saw someone in the airport with an eagles hat on, and I, like, it was, like, at the tip of my tongue. I was gonna be like, Goldberg and I. It could have come out. And I was like, oh, I missed my opportunity. But thank you guys so much for playing.
Ria
Thanks, guys.
Fran
We really appreciate you guys. And you still get some merch. So send no your address and sizes, and we'll get you sent that merch. You already got some, so we'll add some more to that collection. But thank you, guys. Thanks, guys.
Ria
