Fran
What's up, everyone?
Rhiann
It's Chicks in the Office with Rhiann Fran. Giving you that Friday energy on a Monday. Happy Monday, everybody. We are officially back from our long week in Disney. Then we headed to Charleston, and now we are officially home. How are we feeling, everybody?
Fran
Good. It was a long, fun week. We got a lot done. Was exciting. Fun rides, fun, fun times. Met a lot of fun people in Charleston, which is great. And it already feels like it was so long ago that we sadly, yeah. And it feels like I. I got back to the city this morning. I was like, oh, I feel like I have not been in the city for forever. It was weird. But, yeah, happy to be. Happy to be home for a little bit. It was nice. And then it was nice to also just kind of like, relax and chill all weekend and not have to worry about anything. I kind of disappeared for the weekend, which was nice.
Rhiann
That's lovely. I had some family parties this weekend, so I did not disappear for the weekend, but I'm home today because they're filming one of the barstool shows. Le Mascots. I think that's how you pronounce it. I don't know if I've been pronouncing that wrong, but they are using our apartment to film today. So I am home because I wasn't just gonna let a bunch of people in my apartment without me here. So that is why I'm gonna get.
Noah
Like, a credit on that. Like, location coordinator or something.
Rhiann
Like, maybe they'll do that. I'm also in part of it. So maybe they'll be like home rental Ria and Marty and also my title of who I am in. In that part. You know what I'm saying?
Fran
You didn't tell us you had a part.
Rhiann
It's a very small role. It's not any. You know what I mean? It's a very, very small.
Fran
But what do you have to do?
Rhiann
Well, I don't want to.
Fran
Oh, I guess don't keep they then. Fair.
Rhiann
Fair.
Fran
But is it still for the first season?
Rhiann
Yes. Which is maybe why I shouldn't be revealing this, but.
Fran
No, that's so fair. I mean, I just kind of thought that they would have already. The first episode just came out. I would have thought that they were already done with the first season.
Rhiann
Well, they've been needing our apartment to film and we haven't been home, so that's.
Fran
Yes, they've delayed this one, I guess.
Rhiann
So I don't know. But that's why I'm home today. But last week was so fun. We had so much fun at Disney, riding all the rides. And then Charleston was a blast. Had so much fun. Everyone who came out and, you know, in the. In the Charleston heat, but still, we had amazing Rum Haven drinks. We had a great night in Charleston. And now we're running it back. We're coming to Savannah in next week.
Fran
Actually, end of next week.
Rhiann
Actually end of next week. We'll be there Thursday night at the Peregrine, which will be so fun and can't wait to see more of you and hang out and have a good time. Honestly, I had a blast Thursday night in Charleston, so I could not wait to hang out with more of you, drink some Rumhaven cocktails, dance the night away, and just have a great little time.
Noah
It's free. You show up.
Rhiann
Yes, it is. You just show up to the happy hour free and we have a good time.
Fran
Yeah, it really is a. It really is a blast. And it was. It was nice. It was. It was hot, but it was totally fine. I love being in Charleston. I missed spending time down there. Everyone was like, oh, you staying longer, staying the weekend? It's just like. It's hard to balance everything when you want to just stay and chill. I was like. And we stayed at a really, like. I really like the hotel we stayed at. I was like, oh, I would. I would have stayed.
Noah
Did you see any of those messages? People were saying that I think on the day that we left on Friday that there was like a Disney bar crawl or Something happening in Charleston. Like a big. And I was like, ah, we were one night off.
Rhiann
I did see that. But honestly, at the same time, like, we. We got our fill of Disney.
Noah
Yeah, we did.
Rhiann
You know what I mean?
Noah
Like, we didn't talk about this the last day. Cause we recorded before that. But we rode so many rides that day.
Rhiann
We rode everything possible on our last fantasy.
Fran
Yeah, we. As we should. We snuck it in. We had a good last day. Went back to Guardians.
Noah
Yeah, we went on.
Rhiann
We went on Tiana Tiana twice.
Fran
Just.
Noah
I got soaked.
Fran
Noah got a one in a million splash.
Noah
Apparently our VIP guide, Andrew was like, I've never seen a splash like that.
Rhiann
It was epic. Honestly, I loved Tiana's. It was just nice, you know, to get a little splash because it's so hot. So when you go on these rides is you get a little splash and it's raining because it always like rains later in the day now at that time of the year in Florida. So then it started raining. I was like, oh, my God. This is the perfect mix of everything that's going on.
Fran
Sunshine. It's like the sun is out, but it is still raining. Yeah, perfect. It was. It was. It was really nice and it was an easy travel. And now we're home.
Rhiann
Yes, now we're home. But we're back next week, so make sure you are looking on our socials. We will be posting where we're going to be at in Savannah. Never been to Savannah, so I'm so excited to see it for the first time. Anybody who has, you know, dinner recommendations. Lunch recommendations, send them our way. Because I would love to go.
Noah
I was gonna say. And anyone who knows if there's a mechanical bull anywhere in Savannah, let us know.
Fran
I'm sure there is.
Noah
We were adjusting Savannah, Austin to Savannah on my list.
Fran
So, yeah, we have had to make some adjustments. Noah, can you tell us how your. How Pilates went? They crossed another one off the list.
Noah
This weekend and we went to. We went on the ghost tour. Sarah, Maddie and I.
Fran
Yes.
Noah
Very creepy.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Cool.
Fran
Yeah. Re. And I want. We sat that one out.
Noah
Yeah, I almost leave dinner early.
Rhiann
I almost went, but I did not.
Noah
I think you guys would have had fun, but in the moment it's really creepy and. And like, because, you know, like, I was thinking if you're just in your like house at 11:30 at night and you're in the dark, it's kind of like creepy. But now you're in a haunted jail. So it's just inherently uncomfortable.
Fran
And I Was, like, feeling good, had a couple cocktails, was enjoying dinner. You know, I didn't need to derail my evening.
Noah
Them telling you about, like, frightened past, people saying that ghosts came home with them and all that stuff.
Fran
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Noah
Maddie and I were more on the same page of, like, this is creepy. Like, how do we make sure that they don't come home with us? But Sarah was very much like, come home with me.
Rhiann
No, no, no, no, no.
Fran
All right.
Rhiann
We're not.
Fran
Just from a quick Google search, Saddlebags in Savannah.
Noah
Saddlebags.
Fran
Seems like they have a mechanical bull.
Rhiann
I did tell Noah I would ride the mechanical ball as well, but it.
Fran
Looks like there may be multiple options, but that's the first thing that comes up, so we'll keep that in mind. Maybe some other people will have some recommendations. But you. Sorry. You survived Pilates?
Noah
Pilates, yeah. Went with my mom and sister. And. Yeah, it's tough. It's tough. A lot of leg shaking. I thought. You know, I see those videos online of, like, influencers and stuff, and their legs are shaking and. But it's just, like, you can't help it. Your leg just shakes and, like, you're. Yeah, it's really tough.
Fran
I would like you to clarify, because I did think that this was a little nuts, but totally fine. You flew to the Cape to go do Pilates because you didn't want to do it in New York by yourself?
Noah
That's not really why. That's not really why I. Well, actually, I flew to the Vineyard. Yes. On Saturday.
Fran
For a day.
Noah
For a day. The guy. It was funny because I went to the boneyard shopping. The guy's like, are you. I had my suitcase. He's like, are you coming in or are you coming out? And I'm like, we're going out. I'm like, both. I'm flying in. I'm taking the ferry. And he's like, oh, where are you going? I'm like, the Cape. And he's like, oh, how long are you there for? I'm like, leaving tomorrow.
Fran
Leaving tomorrow here for a Pilates class.
Noah
My sister wanted me to go to Boston to do it at her specific place, which I'm sure, like, her class is great, but I'm like, I'd rather just go to the Cape. It's my brother's birthday, so there's technically.
Fran
Okay, okay. There's more. That's a good reason. Because I thought it was, like, in my mind, it was like, he really did all this instead of just going to a Pilates? Class. Like, on his own in New York City, where he lives.
Noah
The doing things on my own thing is, like, a big factor. Like, I've been talking to Joey, trying to figure it out. Like, I'd rather do things.
Fran
You don't want to do it with people.
Noah
If I can.
Fran
Right. Even though it is your list.
Noah
But the list, it's like the anxiety is getting to me. Like, I was talking to a lot of people at Charleston, and they're asking about how it's going, and I'm like, it's going well, but it's basically September now, and I have a lot left.
Fran
You're, like, halfway done, though. No.
Noah
Yeah, I have 16 left.
Fran
I'm running, so you're halfway done.
Noah
I'm gonna run the 10k on Wednesday.
Fran
Okay.
Noah
Like, I'm just doing my own.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
With Jake, who's here. But I was gonna.
Fran
Doing it on your own?
Noah
Well, I mean, like, my own. Like, I'm not in a 10k.
Fran
Like, yes, yes, yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Noah
I'm doing what Joey did, where it's just like, you run the length of something. But I have done no training, and I haven't run. I maybe run once this entire year, not recently. So we'll see how it goes.
Fran
You'll be fine.
Noah
I think it'll be fine.
Fran
I think you'll be. I think you'll be just fine. And it's like. I feel like the weather is really nice right now. I feel like it'll be just easy. Yeah, it'll be easy. You just got to keep telling yourself it'll be easy. I think that'll be fine. But so much of the other stuff is, like, things I feel like you can cross off pretty quickly. There's some big. Some big ones, but there's a couple.
Noah
Of big, big ones.
Fran
Four or five big ones, but the rest, I feel like.
Noah
Yeah, you know.
Fran
No, there's definitely, like four or five that are big ones, but I think the rest you'll be able to cross off.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
Quickly.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
Are you working on your lists?
Noah
What do you mean?
Fran
Movies, songs?
Noah
Oh, I've. Yeah. That is actually the one that, like, I just can't. I can't finish. Well, it's just never done, you know, that's what art is. It's never done.
Fran
Right. You can always. Well, you can always throw those ones in at the last, like, at the end, you know, be like this. As of October 15th, this is the.
Noah
Ones that I think every time I'm on a plane and have no service, I'm just going through music. And I'm like, ah, this song, it's got to be on the list.
Fran
Is it 30 songs?
Noah
30 songs and 30.
Fran
30 movies.
Noah
Yeah. Yeah. It's tough.
Fran
Yeah, that is. That is a tough one for sure.
Noah
But yeah, might have a big one next week. Hope you guys can come. Hope you guys can come support.
Fran
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah. Yep, yep.
Noah
But, you know, we'll see.
Rhiann
We'll see. We are supporting you and many others. Yes, that will be revealed at a later date.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
So, yeah, you know, we're supporting you the whole way.
Noah
You definitely are. But we are in person, you know.
Rhiann
Yeah, right, right.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
You got this.
Fran
Yeah. I mean, there.
Noah
But, like, say something happened.
Fran
There's not much we can really do.
Noah
And you were like, wow, with what you're like.
Fran
Not to be insanely vague to the people, but, like, there's not much Marie and I can do as spectators in. On for that item.
Noah
It's like, you can wave to me.
Fran
Yeah. I just cheer me on. There's. You might not even be able to see us.
Rhiann
Right. Listen, if we can make it, we'll make it. If we can't, we can't. We're supporting you in many, many other ways to be revealed at a later date. And we can't wait.
Fran
Yep, exactly.
Rhiann
We can't wait. We have so many other cool things.
Noah
Yeah, it's. I'm not sure. I'm trying not to think about it. I'm sure people can guess what we're talking about, but. Yeah, I mean, do. I mean, do you want to talk.
Fran
About the change you made?
Noah
Yeah, I guess, because.
Fran
Right. Because that's a pretty big change.
Rhiann
Now you're talking, like, we're talking in circles and our listeners are going to get frustrated if you don't tell them we're talking about.
Noah
So basically, basically, the bungee jumping might be switched to skydiving to make, like, the timing work and everything with Joey. And he's way more, like, excited about skydiving. Like, I don't know, he's just terrified of bungee jumping. But he's. It's something about, like, he really is just terrified.
Fran
He's afraid of bungee jump. And I think, like, because he's never.
Noah
Done it before, but I don't think that's why. Like, when. When he gave me the option and I chose bungee jumping initially, he was like, oh, that's way scarier. Like, I don't know. I guess it's just like a. I.
Fran
Think I would be much more scared of the thing that I haven't done before. You know, like, he's. He. He's sky. He's been skydiving, and he's lived to tell the tale.
Noah
I kind of like that aspect because he'll. He could kind of walk me through, like, you know, if he's done it before.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rhiann
Realistically, I think jumping out of a plane is so much scarier than jumping. That's why I didn't choose it.
Noah
So that I agree. That's why I chose buns jumping when I was given the choice.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
But, yeah, if that happens, it'll be next week, so.
Rhiann
Wow.
Noah
This could be the last few podcasts you hear from me. That's never.
Rhiann
Noah, don't say that. I just looked it up, and it says bungee jumping is actually generally considered scarier than skydiving.
Noah
I think it's more just like an immediate fast.
Fran
Right.
Noah
There's no like.
Fran
And it's a. It's a total free. It's a total free fall.
Rhiann
The way that you're.
Fran
So is skydiving, but, like, you're also.
Noah
Like, going full speed and then you just stop right above the ground, like.
Rhiann
Right.
Noah
As opposed to skydiving.
Rhiann
It's a slow.
Fran
You go fast, and then you have a parachute.
Noah
Assuming your parachute opens.
Fran
It's a yes.
Rhiann
Yeah. Because your brain. It's more apparent to your brain that the ground is so close when you're bungee jumping versus skydiving, I guess makes the ground seem abstract. My parents, like, it's more like a free falling.
Noah
Don't even want to talk to me about it. Like, don't even mention it. Like, call us when you're done with it.
Fran
Right, right, right.
Rhiann
That's fair. That makes sense. All right, well, you will be crossing more things off the list very, very soon. We will keep the people updated.
Noah
And, oh, can I just say one last thing? If you live in Boston on Saturday, maybe take a picture. If you turn the Red Sox game on, just take a picture of me. Because I don't know if I'm gonna.
Rhiann
Be able to record the game, but.
Noah
I will be behind home plate on the Saturday game at 4pm so there you go.
Rhiann
That's very exciting.
Fran
That's a big one to highlight that.
Noah
Yeah.
Rhiann
Shout out.
Noah
Truly. They're sending me in my fam, so that's amazing. Yeah.
Fran
All right.
Rhiann
That is so much fun. Well, we are very excited to see you cross more things up the list, and we're excited to be a part of those things in the future, but we have some big things to talk about. We got some big topics going on Love Island. Crazy drama all over the place. Yeah, Iris and Pepe have seemingly split. Amaya and Brian have seemingly split as well. There's been cheating accusations about Pepe. There's a lot going on and the reunion is tonight, so we'll talk about all that. Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles were seen holding hands walking around Rome. And also Dumois spotted that they were making out in a bar. After her premiere this week. Kevin Jonas finally letting his voice be heard. And at the concert this past weekend with his own original music that he sung on stage with that beautiful Kevin Jonas voice, Emily Bobby Brown revealed that she's adopted.

The Love island drama was popping off this weekend when alleged Pepe cheating rumors hit the Internet. He was away this weekend for like a live golf event and people were spotting him out and there was rumors started flying. All of a sudden you see Iris's friends unfollow Pepe, you see her sister on Follow Pepe and then you see Iris on Follow Pepe. Boom, boom boom in a row. What happened? Then a Snapchat starts circulating of this woman who wrote that she just fucked Pepe in the hotel lobby. And then she has to work with him all weekend long. So people are like, what the hell happened here? First of all, okay, discussing Pepe cheating on Iris. You're. You obviously let us all down. And then number two, why are you in the hotel lobby? Like, the hotel lobby, out of all places? I'm so confused.
Fran
The alarm goes off for a lot of reasons here. For this? Of course not. You can't even imagine. I. E. Just. It's just disappointing. It is just disappointing. You know, you put. This is what we get. We. For putting a man on a pedestal. You know, we said, oh, Pepe is so great. We love Pepe. Then he pulls some shit like this, and he's gone for one weekend. You know, the Snapchat goes viral. Whether, you know, we have cold hard facts about this. We, you know, we. We don't really. But, you know, you see the Snapchat, you see the unfollowing. I think if there was any doubt about it, obviously Iris is not happy with him and probably said that's that this early on in a relationship, you know, they've only been out of the villa for like a month. And if we're already getting cheating rumors and girls sending Snapchats that they're. They're. There's fucking your guy in the hotel lobby. Real or false? I'm like, all right, clearly you're doing something. So. So you're done. It's done. Yeah. Not letting this go any further. And, you know, Pepe fumbled the bag. Iris is just, you know, once again too good for him. What an idiot. Like Iris.
Rhiann
I just am hoping that Iris finds just the best guy in the world for her because she had a shit time in the villa. And then we think, oh, you know, Pepe. And then he goes and does this. Like, I just. It's disappointment. It's disgusting. And why are you fucking in the hotel lobby? Like, on top of it all, on top of his cheating in the hotel lobby? Yeah, Like, I'm just.
Fran
I don't even really know what that means. Like, how is that possible?
Rhiann
Was it in a bathroom in the hotel lobby?
Fran
Is it just.
Rhiann
Yeah, clearly you can't just be out in the open in the hotel lobby. That would be. You can't do that. So did they go into the bathroom? Like, I don't know what the hell happened there. All I know is this is disgusting. And it seems that there might be some truth to it if all the unfollowing is happening, because they're clearly pissed at him. And I hope for the best for Iris. And I hope that she just gets out of this because clearly, clearly Pepe can't keep his pee pee to himself. And he just really loves blondes as well. Like, of course, this Snapchat is another blonde. Yeah, like, he just, he feeds into it. He just feeds into it.
Fran
That's so true. I kind of, I kind of forgot about that aspect of it. Totally forgot about that. But yeah, blonde walks in front of Pepe and he can't control him, cannot control himself. Like you said, extremely disappointing. It is also so unfortunate that this is all happening now after they film the reunion. You know, you want the reunion to be as up to date as possible, which we're all going to watch tonight. But we're going to see Pepe and Iris together. We're going to see Amaya and Brian together. Meanwhile, Amaya and Brian now have unfollowed each other as well. We don't really have any other facts around that or rumors around that. I know that there have been Brian cheating rumors in the last few weeks, like from him being out at events and, and stuff, but it seemed like maybe there wasn't truth to them or Amaya was not that there wasn't truth, but it was like, oh, they worked it out or whatever happened, I don't know. But now it's just that they unfollowed each other and we don't really have any other information but that.
Rhiann
I love how everything goes back to people unfollowing each other.
Fran
It's like if they.
Rhiann
Who's keeping tabs on this, by the way? Like, who is?
Fran
There's the Love island. Are checking every second, like every second.
Rhiann
Typing in the significant other's names to see if they're following each other. Like, it's hard to keep up with.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
But they did unfollow each other, which to me, you know, the writings on the wall right there. I think that we saw in the preview that like, Brian was addressing some treaty rumors and he was like, you know, it was, it was seemed like a dramatic trailer. It's hard to keep up with. And I feel like the people, they leave the show and it all gets to their head and the guys are like, ooh, all these girls love us now. And they lose sight of what's in front of them and they get all hyped up and they're out there fudgeing in the hotel lobby. It's disgusting.
Fran
It is.
Rhiann
It is shaking my damn head.
Fran
I know. I really just. I. You. You would think that there would be some discretion and there's just not. Just not. It is disrespectful and gross behavior. And I'm, you know, like I said, we all believed in you. Pepe let us down.
Rhiann
It's also gross of the girls who know that they have for sure.
Fran
For sure.
Rhiann
Like, they know that they, they literally want a show.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
Leave with somebody and they did 100.
Fran
But you don't know what, you don't know what these guys are. I, you know, it's. Oh, oh, you know what these guys.
Rhiann
Are saying, obviously, like Pepe on Pepe and Brian and obviously, whatever. But the girls that are throwing themselves at Pepe now as well, you see it happening. They're like, oh, well, that means Pepe's single, right? Like, why would you even want Pepe now?
Fran
I know. Well, you know, we don't know what Pepe could be. Pepe could be spewing absolute. Oh, you know, we're not actually together. Oh, it's, you know, it's fake for the show. You know, the shit that these guys said. But it's crazy. I bet it's crazy. I bet they totally play it up to be like, oh, you know, like, it's not, you know, we, we're staying together for optics or blah, blah, blah, like bullshit like that.
Rhiann
But even now, people want Pepe. Like, they're like, oh, they unfollowed each other. That means Pepe's single. You know, the whole. That's what I'm trying to say is.
Fran
Like, I haven't seen that.
Rhiann
Oh, my God. Like, girls are like, oh, Pepe single now. It's like, why would you want Pepe now if you know that he did this? Like, what? I'm like, I can't wrap my head around that.
Fran
No.
Rhiann
Automatically to me, Pepe goes in the gutter for sure.
Fran
It's like, yeah, no, I don't. That's, that's, that's crazy. That is crazy. Yeah. I guess we'll see if there's any more details on Amaya and Brian too, if they're able to talk about or. I'm sure some details will come out.
Rhiann
They need to do like an update at the end of the reunion. Like, by the way, update, zoom in. This is what happened yesterday and we were able to edit in at the.
Fran
End episode, like, get Ariana on FaceTime with all of them.
Rhiann
Yeah. By the way, I thought the reunion was last night. I sat down on my couch at exactly 8:59pm it was not last night, it's tonight.
Fran
Yep. Yep. That's tough. That, that Ruins your Sunday night.
Rhiann
Yeah, like, I planned my Sunday night around the reunion being on at 9pm Yep, yep, yep. Like, ate dinner, went for a walk, showered, got on my couch at exactly 59. Oh, it's not on tonight, it's on tomorrow. Okay, yeah. So now what the hell do I watch? The Jonas Brothers documentary. Okay, anyways, moving on. Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles were seen walking around Rome together holding hands. And then Dumois posted that they were seen making out in the bar this past week after the premiere of Caught Stealing. I mean, I can't think of a more perfect couple. It almost scares me. When I saw this news, I was like, why have I never thought of this? Two of my favorite Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles together, together. I don't even know. I don't know if my brain and my body can handle it. I just thought, these two are almost too perfect to ever be together. And here they are walking around holding hands.
Fran
I would like to come back as Zoe Kravitz in another life. Because back to back days where the rumors are, oh, look at Zoe Kravitz getting a little cuddly with Austin Butler at the bar. There's videos of them. People are like, ooh, is something happening there? To, like, the next day, she's arm in arm with Harry Styles. Oh, my God, a dream. An absolute dream. These two really, like you said, just as cool as you can get, really. And I know obviously Austin and Zoe have this movie coming out. So I think that there has been a lot of talks of, like, them being seen together and movie promo, blah, blah, blah. Well, Harry Styles just snuck his way in there just to just a ruffle some feathers and get people talking about that too. And they are really quite the intriguing, attractive couple, for sure.
Rhiann
I am almost upset with myself that I've never named these two as two people that should date each other because they are so perfect in my brain.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
That I didn't even think to put them together. And now people are like, talking about, oh, it's Taylor Swift's ex. Taylor doesn't give a shit if Zoe Kravitz deets Harry Styles. I thought that Taylor and Harry were on good terms. Didn't, like, we saw the mingling at award shows and stuff. So she's probably like, go for it, sis. You know, whatever. And there's Zoe Kravitz's. One thing about Harry Styles, he loves himself a woman that's older than him.
Fran
Yes, he does.
Rhiann
Always. He always loves a woman that's older than him. He's 31, she's 36. I had to look it up because I was like, right, is he going for another woman that's older than him? And he is. And you know what? Good for him.
Fran
Five years. Five years seems like nothing for him too.
Rhiann
Right.
Fran
They might as well be 31, 36. It might as well be the same age.
Rhiann
Yeah. He's usually doing the 10 year up.
Fran
But in Harry Styles standards, right?
Rhiann
It's. It's perfect. It's such a good couple. I want to see more of them, but this is now where I become greedy because we got one little visual of them, where now I'm like, well, I'm going to need to see more of these two together asap. You know, I want them to have their privacy in Rome or whatever they're doing. But you're just going to throw this out there that these two are caught holding hands. Imagine being the person that catches Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz out in the wild together.
Noah
You're like, remember how I reacted when I saw Kieran Cole?
Fran
Well, it really seemed like that. Yeah, that's true.
Rhiann
Right?
Fran
Like, this girl, like, whipped out her phone so fast, like, well done on her part. Like, she was like, oh, shit.
Rhiann
I mean, imagine you're just walking around Rome.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
And you see somebody who kind of looks like Harry Styles and kind of looks like Zoe Kravitz. You're like, dang, those people look like Zoe Kravitz. Harry Styles. Oh, my God, that is Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles. Like, oh, what a moment.
Fran
I do feel like Harry Styles has really cemented himself as, like, you know how people make tiktoks and stuff about coming to New York and just assuming they're going to see Joe Jonas. Like, they're like, I'm, I'm in New York. I haven't seen Joe Jonas yet. I feel like people kind of feel that way about Harris Owls and any city in Italy. Like, the man is always in Italy. I feel like he's spotted in Italy a ton. He loves spending his, his summers roaming around Italy. And it's like you're sitting on a bench in Rome. You're like, huh, Maybe I could come across hairstyles. Maybe I'll come across hairstyles trying to park someone's car that, that he isn't able to park. But then you see him just walking right past you, hand in hand, arm in arm with Zoe Kravitz.
Rhiann
He seems to spend a lot of time in Rome.
Fran
He does.
Rhiann
The last time I was in London, I fully convinced myself that I would see Harry Styles. So I do get what people mean when they come to New York and think, oh, I'm definitely gonna see Joe Jonas. Because I definitely thought I was going to see Harry Styles, because I feel like he's always out and about, running, walking around, looking at the new Pope doing his thing. But now he's in Rome with Zoe Kravitz, and I know that we'll see more of it. I just know it. I mean, they're so freely walking around holding hands. Why wouldn't we see more?
Fran
Yeah, that's so true.
Rhiann
Somebody's got to capture them.
Fran

I also know that there's been, like, pictures of, you know, it was like, Zoe and Noah Centineo. Zoe Austin. Did you guys see Noah Centineo's last Instagram post?
Rhiann
No.
Fran
Look at it right now. Open your phone and look at it right now. Because it really, really took me by surprise.
Noah
What's his Instagram? I can't even find him.
Fran
I think it's just Ed Centineo, right?
Rhiann
Yeah.
Fran
Oh, well, I know.
Rhiann
What the hell?
Fran
I know. Clearly, he's, he's, he's playing some. It's some new movie or character or something, but I went, whoa, he's ginormous, ripped. He's huge.
Rhiann
No, he didn't look like that when he came in the studio, he did not, like, look at his back. It's so crazy how guys can transform their bodies like that.
Fran
I know.
Rhiann
That quickly. You know what I mean?
Fran
Nuts.
Rhiann
Like, I feel like guys can do these, like, crazy shreds.
Fran
It's crazy. They might clearly they're filming some sort of movie, I'm guessing, because here's Andrew. Andrew. A movie with Andrew Schultz and Road. Do you think Road. I mean, I don't know if what the caption is Road Brawler. I don't know if that's what the movie is or if it's something else, but my goodness gracious.
Rhiann
Playing a guy who needs to be in absurd shape.
Fran
Yeah, I, I, I was really, really just was like, whoa.
Rhiann
I mean, pre production for a movie movie. John Rambo.
Fran
Oh, that's right.
Noah
Exactly right.
Fran
There we go. Checks out. He'll be starring in a Rambo prequel film.
Rhiann
Whenever I hear Rambo. Yeah. John Rambo is, is Rambo. So maybe he's playing.
Fran
Yeah, it's a Rambo prequel.
Rhiann
Rambo prequel. That makes a lot of sense.
Fran
Damn. Well, my God. As he turned his body into.
Rhiann
He's Rambo.
Fran
Exactly what he needed to for this role. I was taken ab.
Rhiann
Yeah.
Fran
Yes. I, I was like, why? Where did I. And then of course, connected to Zoe Kravis, the whole thing. It's just always. Something's always connected in some way. But yeah, yeah, I just, I needed to, I needed to make sure everyone saw that picture because I was absolutely floored right now.
Rhiann
Now we have more understanding that he's probably playing Rambo.
Fran
Yep, yep, yep.
Rhiann
Okay, that, that all checks out. Moving along. Kevin Jonas had his shine this weekend and my God, was it heartwarming. This was really so nice to see. Waking up Sunday morning to the videos of Kevin Jonas letting his voice be heard on stage singing a Kevin Jonas original. And you know, the brothers are like, give it up for Kevin Jonas. He was the surprise guest at the Jonas Brothers show himself. Kevin, it was beautiful. He sounded so good. I loved the song. I thought it sounded super catchy. And then my mind starts racing. I start thinking, Kevin needs to release this asap. He needs to get this on platforms while everyone's talking about it. And then he's got to get like Alex Warren ordinary type of recognition for this song to overcome all the times he was left out by his own brothers and just have the biggest single himself. So, Kevin, let's make it happen. Have your people call my people and let's get this shit on streaming. Because people want to hear it as soon as possible.
Fran
I'm so. I have so many questions about the song, really, because I. I don't know. You know, Kevin was reposting a ton of tick Tocks, and a lot of them were like, oh, an original song. Because then some people were like, is it a cover? Is it a song? Like, people didn't know. But I would like to know, when was this from? Like, was there an era of a potential Kevin Jonas solo era? Like, is this song from years and years and years ago that just never got released? Is it something more recent? You know, where did it really come from? There's so many questions that I have. But he sang it at Fenway, which really seemed like quite the fantastic show. They brought out some of the big guns once again. For. For Fenway. They had. Jesse McCartney came out again, and JoJo came out. And Kevin sings this. This song. And you see that. You watch the video, he's like, I'm so nervous. Everyone's like, oh, Kevin. And he sings and he just knocks everybody's socks off. And then the everyone goes full Kevin chant. Girls in my DMs are like, oh, my God, Fran, I wish. Can't believe you weren't there. Like, we all started. Kevin, we were. We were literally all crying in the crowd. So happy for Kevin. I was like, oh, what a dream. I'm so happy for him. And then Danielle posted like, the cutest Instagram to just, like, so proud of him, a video of her watching him sing on stage. And, you know, my God. And they just been suppressing this voice for 20 years.
Rhiann
They have been. And it was like he really found his voice up there and he sounded amazing. And Mike, I watched the Jonas Brothers documentary again last night for the first time since it came out and whatever it was. Yeah, 2018, 2019. And poor Kevin, like, seriously, they. He really got treated, like, at certain parts. And the brothers, they do regret it, and they had different priorities at the time. And Kevin was fine in love with Danielle and trying to make a life for himself, and they treated him like at times.
Fran
I know those. Those clips are going viral again on Tick Tock. Like, I've seen them so much. Like, the one clip of them around the table when they're talking about doing the Jo Brothers radio show without the. Without him.
Rhiann
No, no. And.
Fran
And like, Joe's like, yeah, we just say, you know, you had different priorities and we thought your guitar playing, like, kind of fell off.
Rhiann
I honestly, watching that moment again, like, I couldn't. I chills on my body of how up it was that they left Kevin out. And Kevin, Kevin said it was the worst moment of his life. Yeah, like, that is so dark.
Fran
I know.
Rhiann
And it was so fucked up. And let me tell you, Nick Jonas, he really thought, who the fuck he was at some point watching this. Oh my God, he was wearing. You know, the way he was even dressing was like too cool for school, Nick. Like, wow. It just was, it was, it was sad to watch. It was, I know, being reminded of what the brothers went through, but.
Fran
But, yeah, exactly.
Rhiann
But like being so happy that they're together now is really great. And for Kevin to get this moment, I want him to release the song. It's catchy. People want to hear it. We want the real Kevin. Catchy Kevin. Did you record it already or did you just get up there and start singing this willy nilly? And now you're going to leave people hanging and you're going to lose the moment.
Fran
Then he like went up into that key change. I was like, ooh, Kevin.
Rhiann
It's just Kevin.
Fran
Oh, the pot. They had the fire, like the pyrotechnics going on the stage behind him. I was like, oh my God, what an amazing moment. Really seemed like such a beautiful show. You know what also kind of broke my heart though, I don't know if you saw these clips since my TikTok is quite literally just the Jones brothers tour. I guess Joe like was tearing up a little during Little Bird at Fenway and oh my God, it like ripped my heart out because at one point it looked like he was singing and his like eyes started to well up and he sort of like turned to the side and you can see him mouth like, oh my God, like kind of being like, oh my God, like I'm crying right now. And he seemed very emotional and of course all the comments like made me more emotional because they were like, oh, maybe like Joe had had his girls for like the beginning of the tour and now like they're back with Sophie or something and like now he's sad. And I was like, stop, stop. I was like, stop it right now. Stop making me more sad about like. I was like, oh, just that. I mean, I don't know. Obviously we don't know if that's the scenario, but there were some clips because Joe's been going on, I mean the both. A lot of them have. But Joe's been going on Instagram Live a lot, like pre show, like during rehearsals and stuff. And sound check, I guess, you know, would be the Proper name for that. And there's been moments where it seems like he's was talking to his girls in the. In the crowd. And then, like, at the end of one, he was like, oh, gotta go, Daddy, Daddy duty or whatever and, like, hung up. And people were like, oh, maybe he's just. It was like, now it's his off time. And he got sad singing Little Bird.
Rhiann
I was like, no, I get. I could see that. Yeah. You're away from your kids, you get upset.
Fran
I know, I know. But no, I. Kevin must be living on a high. Although, let me tell you, the Jonas Brothers have been posting every single clip from these shows on their social. They haven't posted the Kevin singing classic. They haven't posted the Kevin. Kevin himself has re. Shared on TikTok, like a million fan videos of him singing.
Noah
But every time, Kevin's got to pull a Noah and just collab with the.
Fran
Exactly. Because let me tell you something. Sunday, I saw these all Saturday night, and I was like, oh, my God, is this AI? Like, I was like, what's happening? And then Sunday morning, I. It was like, Saturday night, late. So I was like, oh, I'm gonna wait to like. Because I wanted to post on my Instagram story. Because in my mind I was like, oh. And then by the morning, the Jonas Brothers will have posted like. Like a official video of it. Nope, still no.
Noah
Like, that was way too good.
Fran
I know.
Rhiann
Yeah. They're like, he doesn't deserve anymore. He's got. Enough people have shared it.
Fran
I know. They really post most of the Tik Toks. They don't post as much of the song stuff. I wonder if they, like, are not allowed to. I don't know why that would be. But there's like, there's this Tik Tok account that just posts, like, all the Jonas moments, like, as they're happening pretty quickly afterwards. And I see them on my account all the time. It's like, literally some. It says, like, user 7152025X like, it's like, I don't know what it is, but people are like, oh, it's Joe. Like, whatever. But it's all Jonas Brothers videos. And it's always right after the shows and it's. They always post who the special guest is and those moments. So it's like, here's Jonas Brothers bring out Jesse McCartney to perform, leave in Jonas Brothers bring out Jojo to perform leave get out at Fenway. Jonas Brothers bring out Dashboard Confessional to perform Vindicated at Fenway Park.
Noah
Then say, and Then it goes to Sarah.
Fran
Saratoga, then skips to Saratoga. Where's the Kevin Jonas has his solo moment at Fenway Park. User 7152025X this is what I mean.
Rhiann
This is why Kevin's got to release this song himself.
Fran
I know.
Rhiann
I get the shine he deserves.
Fran
He does.
Rhiann
Because if he doesn't do it himself, who's going to do it for him?
Fran
Put that frickin song out, Kevin. It was delightful. It's been stuck in my head. It's such. It's a.
Rhiann
It was catchy and I'm sure it has a beautiful meaning.
Fran
I know I've watched every single angle. Every single time it comes up in mine for you page, I watch it again.
Noah
So he had to be. I know he said he was nervous, but I can't imagine like the first time you're ever like playing by yourself. It's no he at Fenway Park.
Fran
No. He had to have been absolutely shitting himself. But obviously, you know, panned out for the best. But not only you're. You're nervous enough to walk up to the mic and be like, I'm so nervous.
Rhiann
Yeah, but that almost makes it better.
Noah
Yeah, that's like classic.
Rhiann
Any. Anything you do after that point will be good because people know you're nervous.
Fran
I was crying seeing people be like, he had his Margaret Dupree moment.
Rhiann
He did. Oh my God, he totally did.
Fran
He totally did.
Rhiann
He won the Final Jam.
Fran
He totally did.
Rhiann
Movie.
Fran
So happy for him.
Rhiann
Moving on, last topic. Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bon Jovi welcomed their baby girl through adoption this summer. They posted on Instagram this summer. We welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood and both peace and privacy. And then there were three. Love, Millie and Jake Bon Jovi. This is very, very sweet.
Fran
So sweet.
Rhiann
Very, very nice. I think for some, you know, people were surprised, but she is married, so it's, I guess, not that surprising.
Fran
No, I think, you know, she's just young, which is obviously what everyone goes to first, but she has definitely grown up very quickly. She is married. I think if you really watch her interviews and have seen like, what she shared about her family and how she loves spending time with her family and her siblings and like, loves that relationship and all those things, I think it totally makes sense that she would want to start her own family, whatever, quickly. I guess maybe one would, one would consider. But really, like, it just. I think that totally makes sense for her and everything that she said about the life that the life that she wants to. Life that she wants to live. So it's very exciting for them.
Rhiann
Very exciting and also beautiful. Going the route of adoption, being able to bring somebody into their home and give them the life that they deserve and start this family at the same time is all very beautiful. So a huge congratulations to Millie, Bobby Brown and Jake Bon Jovi. Very, very happy for them. And it seems like, you know, they want to keep the privacy, but they're also letting everybody know, you know, because there have been pictures, I think of her with a stroller and, and of that sort. So we're probably like, all right, let's put this out there. But we're still going to be private.
Fran
Exactly. I think that makes a lot of sense, honestly, like, I would love to go have a little Sunday dinner at the, at the Bobby Brown Bon Jovi residence because it's probably delightful. It's probably Sunday delightful. They got, they got great families. Millie is always talking about all the, the animals she's got run around, all these dogs and pets and farm life and everything that she's got going. And now they have like, probably just you know, a little nugget, little girl run around with them, which is just so cute. Just.
Rhiann
Yeah, so cute. A nice Sunday roast.
Fran
Yeah. Yep.
Rhiann
At the Bobby Brown Bon Jovi residence. That just like warms your cockles. Yeah, it's amazing.
Fran
It does.
Rhiann

A weekly watch report on Monday. Weekly watch report on Monday. Weekly watch report on Monday. Weekly watch report on Monday. No Love island reunion because it's on tonight. Freaking idiot face. Still not over that. I watched, obviously, the summer I turned pretty, which is.
Fran
We watched. We watched it three times.
Rhiann
We watched it three times, and I'm gonna have to watch it a fourth because Matt wants to watch it.
Fran
Oh, yep.
Rhiann
And I was like, all right, we'll do that this week before the next one, because I need. I've watched it three times in three days, so I'm gonna need to let it sit for a second. I'll pick it back up maybe Monday night. So I give that an A. I.
Fran
Couldn'T be happier that it's, like, really gets me through the week. Like, waking up on Monday, I'm like, just a couple days, Couple days, couple days.
Rhiann
So close. I. It gets an A. It was a great episode. Heartbreaking. Obviously, if you saw that. We posted a video on Tick Tock and Instagram of our react reaction to watching Conrad pour his heart out to Belly and Belly be such a little biash back to him. It was heartbreaking. It was devastating. And you know, the fact that she pulls the. Oh. Like. Like, Conrad treated her worse than Jeremiah did. Conrad was depressed. His mother was dying and then died.
Fran
Yep.
Rhiann
Jeremiah is a shithead who cheated on you Belly. So let's be realistic right now. Okay.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
Jeremiah is going to be just like his father, and Conrad is taking the sweet traits from Susanna. So get it through your brain.
Fran
Yeah. Major deflection. And, you know, we reach levels of desperation that I haven't reached in a long time. When it comes to a show like this, I. You know, like you said, we watched it multiple times. We didn't get to recap it on the podcast, which, you know, obviously we're talking about it now, but right afterwards. But we watched it together, and. And then we watched it again, and then we watched again. And really, when we left Orlando, I was like, you know what? I, first of all, was the only thing in my TikTok. Quite, like, the only thing. And what I was getting was all these videos were where the sound was, chapter 48. And it was like. It was just like if they were like, here's where episode seven ends, and here's where it picks up in the book. And, like, here's, like, the next scene. And I was like, oh, my God. All right, if I'm just gonna hear all these sounds on TikTok, I'm listening to the rest of the book on. On this flight. Because it was. It just. It just felt like a must in the moment. And while, yes, like I have. I have read all these books, but like a while ago, like, I really have not read them in years and years. And when I saw that they have the audiobook is Lola and Chris reading from themselves, I was like, I'm just gonna go on this flight, close my eyes. And it's just, you know, the whole thing I can play in my head, which. Which is great. But it's so crazy because there's really only. From where episode seven left off, there's really only an hour, ish, like a little over an hour left in the audiobook, which obviously is crazy because it feels crazy because there's four episodes left. Of course, you know, the Steven Denise, like, all that stuff is not in the book. Like, that's all, you know, added. Added stuff to. For the show. So I'm sure there'll be all more of those moments. But, like, I'm listening to the audio audiobook. You're reading the book. You're sending me pictures. You're crying on the plate.
Rhiann
I read the book, the third book, and I was sobbing my eyes out on the plane because I was then envisioning some of the scenes that are at the end of the third book. And I'm like, you're. They better not skip this. They're not going to. But I'm like, you're going to tell me we're going to see this dialogue and this scene play out on our screens. Not going to be able to handle that. I couldn't even handle reading it. How am I going to handle it on my tv?
Fran
I know. And she really is sticking so much to the dialogue. Like, there is. There is so much there that when you. Especially the beach, you know, the beach scene and you hear what happens. And of course it's different because you don't get that internal monologue that you get when you're reading the book. So that's another thing I'm seeing people do on TikTok. It's like they're watching the show, but then they're playing the audio from the book of Lola as she, like, drops to her knees and is crying. Like what that internal monologue was in the book to give more context to, you know, how she was feeling. But my God, like, truly, first of all, you and Tina need to team up, I think, because Tina on TikTok, we've been talking about her a lot, but I think you guys need to team up. Because the second time we watched the episode, we were in bed. And literally, like, Ria has the covers over her head. And as the beach scene is happening, I just hear. And I'm like, are you okay? Look over, cry again. Just like, the COVID She's like, he just, like, is so good. Like, give, like, deserves it. Emmy. And I was crying, and no joke. And then I watched the whole Tina commentary of the episode, and she's like, give this guy the Emmy. Grammy. What does he need? An egot. Give the guy an egot. Like, he is selling this, like, the emotion. Like, give this guy. She's like, oh, he is locking this Emmy in, let me tell you.
Rhiann
I didn't even see that.
Fran
No.
Rhiann
That is so funny.
Fran
It is so funny. It is so good. No, Chris has really been fantastic. I can't wait to see what happens, because you do get everything that has been so truthful to the book. And then, you know, these added moments, I'm like, what is this dancing? What is this dance? We were so confused. We were like, what is. Is this for what's happening? Like, why are they doing a. A number? Is this for the wedding? Is this for TikTok? Like, what's going on?
Rhiann
No, the dancing was so crazy. We were screaming. As soon as Belly, you started breaking out those moves on the screen.
Fran
Yeah. That was a very intense dance.
Rhiann
It was. And then Conrad was, like, so bad.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
And we were like, please, please, enough, enough.
Fran
I know. Put our king out of his misery.
Rhiann
Right? And then he did that role on the floor. The floor. And we're like, all right, he's back. Yeah. He redeemed himself. He can get down on the floor like that. He's good. He's good after that.
Fran
Goodness gracious.
Rhiann
Yeah. So that's an A. Yeah. Pretty is an A. Yeah. Really cannot wait for Wednesday. Can't wait.
Fran
You can't be that we can't be friends montage playing in my head endlessly.
Rhiann
No.
Fran
The song choices. Holy.
Rhiann
Talk about the best trip of someone's life.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
Getting high and dis. Envisioning Conrad the whole time.
Fran
We're like, damn. How? What was in that? What was in that? Gummy.
Rhiann
Right? Usually people are like, oh, my God, I couldn't stop hallucinating. This is awful. Belly's like, I couldn't stop hallucinating Conrad.
Fran
Oh, my God, So good.
Rhiann
So good. I actually cannot wait to watch with Matt. I can't wait for his commentary. I'm going to have to. Maybe I'll film his. His thoughts as well, yeah. What did I watch next? Sorry, I, like, brain froze for a second.
Fran
No, it's really the only thing.
Rhiann
That's the only thing I can think about. I'm like, anything else I mentioned really doesn't matter. The map that leads to you. I watched the new Madeline KJ Apple movie. It was cute. It was sad. Like, I'm.
Fran
Honestly, I'm over it.
Rhiann
Like, I'm, like, really tired of these storylines.
Fran
Like, what's happening? This is a spoiler. Spoiler, spoiler alert. If you haven't watched a movie, spoiler alert. Rant, spoiler alert. Saying it again after my Oxford year and then putting this one on. Like, can we not have a main character with a terminal illness, please? Like, why just the guy is always ill. What is happening these movies back to back? And I'm like, no, no. Why are we finding out that these guys are sick?
Rhiann
No, it didn't need to happen back to back like this. It really didn't.
Fran
Really didn't.
Rhiann
And I thought it was gonna be like a cute, funny romance film. And it was just kind of sad, but also kind of cute. I don't know. I give it a B minus. I didn't. I didn't love it. I thought it was a little boring at parts, but it was cute.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
And I like the scenery.
Fran
Yeah, it was beautifully shot. Like, just obviously traveling around Europe. I will say that I Obviously it was from watching the movie, but my TikTok after I watched it on Friday night, entirely Madelyn Cline and KJ Apa interviews. Like, I didn't get one. It was the everything. And I'm now convinced that they should run away together. Like, the chemistry in real life. Yes, the chemistry that those two have. Like, they're so funny and cute. I don't. I made this all up in my head watching their interviews, but, like, they clearly are good friends now, but they're joking about, like, their first impressions of each other and then all these things, and they just. They have such a banter that is unbelievable. And I was just, like, daydreaming about the two of them running away together. Truly. Like, I don't know if they've explored that. There was another clip of them joking about they were playing some sort of game with their other co stars. I know. Joke. Watched every press interview that they did. Like, I'm kidding. I kid you not. Everything I saw, and it was like some sort of wheel. And they asked about workplace romances and it was just like, a lot of obviously connections of, like, Madeline made a face you know, obviously she dated Chase at her banks. And then I think KJ knows everything that happened with. With Cole and Lily, like, on the set of Riverdale, you know, like, they all have their examples of it. And one of the other girls was like, oh, you know, it's. It's different in our industry. And yada yada was like, yeah, of course it is different in your industry. And then kj, like, kind of tried to defend it, and I was like, oh, my God, can these two just run away and get married? Like, why am I so obsessed with them in real life? Like, I guess, you know, obviously I thought, like, their characters were great too, but they have a chemistry, man, that is undeniable. And I think. I think they're in denial about the love that they could have.
Rhiann
They do have great chemistry. KJ Appa did say he fell in love with Madeline Klein while filming this movie.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
Which I actually would love if they just stayed great friends.
Fran
Like, I. I think sometimes that they should run away together.
Rhiann
When you see, like, this chemistry and, like, great banter and it's like, we saw that with Chase and Madeline. Like, sometimes it's like, well, you know what? You guys could just stay great friends. You know what I mean?
Fran
Yeah. Like, what if it's a great love?
Rhiann
Well, then maybe they'll find their way to each other, like the map that leads to you. But they are going to go film other projects and probably fall in love with their other co stars as well. Like, you know what I mean? Like, maybe they'll come back together, but their careers, they're just getting started.
Noah
You see that? She was with Caleb Williams.
Rhiann
I did see that. Yeah.
Noah
Like a concert.
Fran
I didn't see that, man. I. I love her. I think that she is so hysterical and so. And well, you know what? You know what? I also think about the two of them too. It's like maybe they're. They have great chemistry. And they were both saying how they would love to do more of like a rom com because this is a romance. Not as many funny moments, obviously, but the two of them would be amazing in a rom com together. Like, that's what I thought it was.
Rhiann
Gonna be like, funny. Because they are very funny together.
Fran
They have, like.
Rhiann
That was not the case.
Fran
I know they have, like a McConaughey Hudson type connection. I like just from the way that they were bantering in real life that I was like, these two should continue to make movies together, even if it is just friends. They should do a rom com next.
Rhiann
Right? They could totally Do a rom com and keep it great friends and make great movies. I'm rooting for that as well.
Fran
Exactly.
Rhiann
So that gets a B minus for me though because I honestly did not love it. But I thought it was cute enough and enjoyed my time and I and I like them as actors.
Fran

Rhiann
I watched the first episode of the Gilded Age on hbo. You know, it's about old money, new money, old New York City. I enjoyed it. I thought it was a good setup episode. I only watched the first episode though because I fell asleep after that, was exhausted. But I will give that a B. I think it probably gets better from there. It was really just a setup episode, but I was interested. I, I really liked the premise of that. So I may continue watching that. And then I watched Chasing Happiness, the Jonas Brothers documentary again. That's a rewatch. So Matt had no idea any of like the Jonas Brothers lore. And I was like, you gotta watch this. And his, his jaw was on the floor for half the film. He was like, I can't believe they're talking to each other like this. I can't believe they're treating Kevin like this. I can't believe Nick it like, you know, Nick had all the talent at first, but then, you know, he's a little bit of a diva as well and breaks up the brothers but at the same time, you're like, he has this creative drive that maybe they don't have. Like, there's so many layers to it.
Fran
That really laid it all out there.
Rhiann
He was stunned because at one point they go into, like, how the brothers took, like, a little break. Like, not the full breakup, but they, like, took a little break and then they started making music again. And he was like, wait. They didn't, like, dive into the breakup? I was like, no, no, no. Just wait. That was the little break. Wait until the big. Yeah, the big bang, where Nick comes in and tells the brothers that they're done. And Joe's like, oh, we're done. Then we're done. Boom. So drama. And that's an A. It's a great documentary. I want to follow up, though. I want to follow up as well, because their lives have changed. Yeah. And that is everything I watched because we watched the Summer I Turned Pretty three nights in a row.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. That took up a lot of time. That's an A episode for sure, if not an A plus. But, you know, saving my A plus. But this is an A for some. Rights are pretty. The map that leads to you. I'll give. What'd you give it? A B minus. That's probably where I'm at as well. I would also. I. I'm gonna stick. I agree with you on that. B minus. It did get to me, man. I got the. I'm, like, crying again. I'm like, God, just. You know what I did? I turned on Sunday night, I was like, gosh, these. You know, these movies I. Watching my Oxford year. These new movies are just getting me, like, what I'm. I put on the idea of you.
Rhiann
You're like, I need something.
Fran
You're like, shit, I haven't watched this one in a while.
Rhiann
Yeah.
Fran
And I needed something. And you know what's so funny about that movie, too, is, like, now I've watched it twice and that I've. I've watched it twice now with Joe, and I think he forgot he watched it the first time. And he's so funny because he really is, like. Like, really cares about. He'll do a Google and he'll see the Rotten Tomatoes score. And if it's over 75, like, no matter what it is, he'll be like, ah, I'll give it a chance, you know, like, no matter what it is. So he's like, what movie is this again? After we've been sitting there for, like, 20 minutes. And I was like, oh, it's the Idea of you. And I could just see that he went and searched it on his phone to see, and it has 80% rotten tomatoes.
Rhiann
Wow.
Fran
And then he's. And then he didn't say a peep after that. Cause I knew he was, like, trying to get ready to complain about this movie to be like, oh, do we have to watch this? Like, blah, blah, blah. And then I know we saw it 80%. And then he didn't say a peep and watch the whole rest of the movie with me.
Rhiann
Well, There are some 80% movies out there that I hate.
Fran
No.
Rhiann
So I think based off.
Fran
Absolutely. But that's, you know, he's one of those guys that if you, like, sees a high number, he's like, all right, I'll give it a shot.
Rhiann
Yeah. Well, you're like, you know what? Somebody out there loved it.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
The critics love it. So.
Fran
Yeah. And I needed. I needed to throw that back on. So that's a rewatch. I mean, I've watched that multiple times as a August Moon fan, and that's like a. I don't. I forget, like, the grade I gave it when it first came out. But as. As a rewatch, like, it's a solid A minus rewatch for me. Like, I really enjoy that rewatch. And Hathaway is so good in that movie. And what else did I watch? I watched. I'm all caught up on Love is Blind uk, which I believe the weddings are this week. Damn. There's some crazy. There's some. There's some crazy shit that's. That's gone down on the. On this season. There's some strong connections. I do think that there's a lot of couples that have, like, really seemed like they were so solid, but when they get to the altar, they're going to be like, nah. Like, they're, you know, like, I think that they're just playing along with it and they like, like their person. And they're not, like, saying any problems that they have until they actually get to the altar. And then they're like, we're getting married is actually kind of crazy. No. And then they. And then they don't get married because a lot of the couples seem very solid. One guy, Javin, I believe his name is. Ugh. Can't stand him. Talk about, you know, the guy, the type of guy that when you get into a fight with him and you're trying to point out something like bad behavior or something that, you know, he did, and his response is like, is that really what you think of me? Like, you really think I would. I would be that type of person to do it. Like, they try and flip it on you to be like, that says, I can't believe you would think that about me.
Rhiann
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
It's like, whoa, wait a second.
Rhiann
You did do.
Fran
This is about you, and you did do this. Like, he was doing that in one of their fights. I was like, oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm. I could not. He was very flirty with the other women. He really could not, like, make any sort of commitment to Katish. And I was like, this is. This is. This one's not gonna work. So I'm glad. I think that one's not a. A thing anymore, but Love is Blind UK is very solid. Very solid. I'll give it a B plus. I've been locked in to when the new episodes come out, and I'm excited to see who gets married. And I watched the first two episodes of the Amanda Knox show on Hulu.
Rhiann
Yeah, that's gonna be a watch for me this week. What do you think about it?
Fran
Grace Van Patten. It's good. It's good. Her. The. The contact lenses are a little distracting. I'm not gonna lie. She's wearing, like, fake blue contact lenses, which are, like, a little too fake, which is fine. I get it. You know, trying to sell it. But it has a very, like, interesting style, I would say, of just the way it's filmed and whatnot. But so far, it is really good, and Grace is really good.
Rhiann
I think I'm excited to watch her and.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhiann
In something new.
Fran
It's such a. It's really such a crazy story. And even just the first two episodes, it's, like, infuriating to watch what is happening and how. And of course, it's a. This is. There are aspects of this that are fictionalized, and there is a disclaimer at, like, the end of every episode that's like, some things are dramatized, characters are changed, blah, blah, blah, like, to, you know, whatever, for the sake of the drama of the show. But the bones of everything that happened, you know, it's really. It's really crazy. But I was very impressed with her the first two episodes. I'll give. I thought it was really good. I'll give it a B plus. I thought it was very good. I was definitely locked into it. I think Grace was really, really good. So I watched that. I watched the idea of you, the map, and I kind of think somebody turned pretty. Kind of think that that really is everything that I. Oh, no, I watched the. You talked about this last week, the Biggest Loser, Netflix. I watched those three episodes, man. Crazy. Really. You know, I never was. My family, like, we didn't really watch the Biggest Loser. I'd always seen it, of course, like commercials and things. And like, maybe I tune into a finale, like if it was on because so many people are talking about it. But it's really wild what so many of those contestants went through and seeing them now, like, talk about their life and how like sometimes that drastic weight change and then gaining it back and fluctuating and going back and forth and all talking about all that. It is, it's wild. And you can just tell, like, even hearing from those producers and the people that like, created their show, the show just scummy reality TV producers, you know?
Rhiann
God, even when they're those two guys. Yeah.
Fran
Like, even when they're trying to sell this, like, inspirational, we're good, you know, we wanted to sell this story, blah, blah, blah. It still comes back, you know, still comes down to making good tv. And we did it. And yeah, I was like, oh, you guys are totally scummy. I could just, you can just tell, you know. But it was, I thought it was really well made. I'll give it. I'll give it a B. Is good. Interesting for sure. And that is everything that I watched, folks.

Noah
I have the samurai turn pretty. Give it a B.
Fran
Okay.
Rhiann
Okay then. Awkward.
Noah
Everyone saw how locked in I was.
Fran
I will say there.
Rhiann
Awkward.
Fran
There was one of the three of us that was on their phone the entire time of. During the scene. And it wasn't the two of us.
Noah
I was looking up. I was looking barely.
Rhiann
Yeah, you were looking.
Fran
You were looking up so little that you didn't even know that I, that Maddie and I caught you on camera not looking up, like, oh, that was in the video.
Rhiann
We got a real glimpse into how Noah watches tv.
Fran
So true. So true.
Noah
I was like, not. The end was awesome. I guess you didn't watch it.
Rhiann
You were on your phone for the end.
Noah
I watched it. I even said. I said, how did she fall down on the ground? And he didn't go over to her when she's like, 10ft in front of me.
Rhiann
All before that. We have it on camera. Footage that you didn't look up.
Noah
I was about to say. I was. No, the beach part, I was watching. I was, like, watching a little bit, like, here and there. Like, I was looking up and down. I'm telling you. Like, you probably caught me, like, the.
Fran
One watching a little bit here or there. I saw you.
Noah
I was about to say the rest.
Fran
We saw you. The rest, you were next to us.
Rhiann
Maddie filmed the whole thing. It's on camera. Like, I don't know what you're trying to deny when it's on camera. Like, it's not that big of a.
Noah
Crazy because, like, I know that I saw it. Like, I can see the scene in my mind. I haven't rewatched it since then. Like, I see. I see it in my mind, like, him walking to the lifeguard chair and everything. Like, yeah.
Fran
Wow, that's a really detailed description you just gave.
Rhiann
I'm not even trying to press you.
Fran
No, no, no.
Rhiann
I just know that we have it on camera that you're on your phone, so that's fine.
Noah
I was going to say, like, the rest of the episode. Yeah. I wasn't as locked in. Well, I guess I wasn't locked in at all.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
But, like, the dancing thing was so weird to me. That just sticks out, like.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Maybe that's when I started looking at my phone. I'm like, this is weird, but, yeah, it's a B plus. Like, overall. Yeah. Maybe I'm not as tuned in as you guys to this show.
Fran
Yep.
Noah
But I'm entertained, and I think Belly's an idiot. So. Yeah. And then I watch this movie. Sovereign got it on Amazon prime, rented it. It's with Nick Offerman, Dennis Quaid, Jacob Tremblay. Great cast.
Rhiann
Where is Jacob Tremblay been?
Noah
You know what? If you see him in this movie, you wouldn't rec. I mean, you would recognize.
Fran
Well, he's like an adult.
Noah
He's older now. He has, like, a buzz cut. Kind of playing like a badass type of kid a little bit. I would say this movie immediately reminded me so much of the place beyond the pines. Like, very Similar movie. Like, not really. Like, just the way that it's told. And, like, the whole tone of the movie, very similar to the Place beyond the Pines hasn't, you know, great reviews, 94%. But great movie. Very, like, not an uplifting. You're not gonna leave that movie being happy.
Fran
Boy, would I not have recognized him.
Rhiann
I wouldn't have recognized him.
Fran
I'm looking at his. I'm looking at his Instagram. I'm blown away. Say, I mean, puberty is a crazy thing. Puberty is a crazy thing for guys because, I know, like, whatever, Girls change. But, like, he. This is.
Rhiann
He was so young.
Noah
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rhiann
Wow.
Fran
Look at him.
Noah
Nick Offerman. Grown really good in this movie, too. Never seen him in a role like this playing a bad guy.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Noah
But I would recommend it. Yeah. Especially if you like the Place beyond the Pine. That type of movie. Very similar.
Rhiann
So, yeah, I do like that movie.
Noah
I'll give it. I'll give it a B plus. Like, very good movie, just kind of depressing.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Watch. And that's all I got. I was busy.
Fran
Yeah, we were busy.
Rhiann
We were both in busy. Yeah, makes sense. All right, that wraps up everything we watched. Can't wait for a new episode of the Summer I Turned Pretty this week. And we will be back to recapping it for Friday's episode, which we cannot wait to do.
Noah
You guys want me to come over to watch with you?
Fran
No, thank you.
Rhiann
We'll pass. Anyways, we can't wait to watch it. And that's everything we watch this week. All right, that wraps up today's episode of Chicks in the Office. Thank you so much for watching and listening. We love you guys. Thanks for watching the best show on earth. We'll talk to you on Wednesday.
