Great, I think.

Really?
Ria
Noah's the star of the show today after his big weekend. I just really want to.
Chick
Yeah.
Noah
Oh, I'm kidding.
Chick
I didn't hear.
Noah
I said today.
Ria
He's a star every day. Come on. So I really just want to hear about his. His big trip. I'm obviously not in the studio right now. I'm still up in the Vineyard. Was here for a wedding. It was gorgeous. Like, the most perfect weather. The wedding was stunning. Olive's love and life up here. Lola and Flo are like, who's this annoying little dog that won't leave me alone? But they. I can.
Chick
They.
Ria
I can tell they love her, but she's a past. She's, like, playing with me. And they're like, they're old. They're 10. So they're. They're like. They're like, I don't want to run around with you.
Noah
Are they, like, watching you pet Olive and get jealous?
Ria
Yeah, I do feel bad. Like, they'll come over to me. And then Olive just beelines. And then I'm like, oh, my baby.
Chick
We can all hang out. Yeah.
Ria
Yeah, exactly. Except they don't want to be around Olive when she's being annoying. But she's loving it. Absolutely loving it.
Noah
She's swimming.
Ria
Or we did, we did let her swim to see what would happen. She, I wouldn't say she loves it. I mean like she can swim. She just swims right out of the water.
Chick
Like, she's like, okay, get me out.
Ria
Yeah. She's like, okay, that was fun.
Noah
She knows how to swim.
Ria
Yes, yes. The, the instincts kicked in and she was doggy paddling around, around the pond. So she likes to do that. She loves to run the yard. She's getting some good outdoor time, play time. So it's been, it's been great. See my family, JB's here, some of his friends. We had some people stay with us too for the weekend. Obviously I've lost my voice. I feel like I was just screaming all weekend. But it was, it was really beautiful and a ton of fun. So that's what I did. Rhea, what did you were up to this weekend?
Chick
You on Long Island? I had really just a classic Long island summer weekend and it was really delightful all around, honestly. Went to dinner Friday night to Berata Supper Club in Huntington, which is a mutual friend of ours, brothers. They opened up the place and it was really, really nice. Had my whole fam there, which was great, great dinner, really, honestly.
Ria
How was the food?
Chick
Really good, like really good Italian food. Had some pesto gnocchi, which was really good. Some short rib tortellini which was really good. Just solid all around. Had some good wine, some good drinks. Luca was having a good time, that little cutie. So we had really a wonderful night. And then on Saturday we went to the beach for a little bit. We had an early beach Saturday. Like woke up, went early, got home early, got some good lunch. I'm going to do a shout. I'm like just shouting at Long island places right now, but Seaport Deli, which is a very popular deli and people who know will be very excited that I shouted it out. Great sandwiches, took a nice nap and then we walked around the port and Port Jeff and we got ice cream and there was a singer playing on the street and it was really quite lovely. We had such a lovely night. We played Scattergories with my mother in law and my brother in law. We drank wine, good laughs, really just a wonderful night. And then, and then on Sunday we had a little sprinkle. So you know, like, you know that it's not a full baby shower, but it's a sprinkle for Matt's cousin.
Noah
I was like, it rained?
Chick
Yeah. No, no, no. It's they call it a sprinkle. It's like a little thing for Matt's cousin. And. Yeah, so it was just a lovely Long island summer weekend, which I feel like, besides the Hamptons, which I just don't really count, like, I'm talking, like, inner Long Island, I don't count the Hamptons as, like, a Long island weekend, which was lovely last weekend. But this.
Ria
Not quite as wholesome.
Chick
Yeah, this is more. Yeah, no, no, really, not.
Ria
Not quite.
Chick
As we did have some wholesome. We never even really talked about, you know, we had some wholesome dinners and. Yes, whatnot, but for the most part, not as wholesome as a. As a family weekend on Long island, which was really nice. And I actually got super, super excited for Disney. We're going in two weeks now. We have a whole thing planned, and you guys will see that at a later date, and it's really exciting. But I'm hyped. Like, all of a sudden this weekend, I was sitting there and I was like, we're going to Disney. Like, family vacation style. You know, we've never done something like that as a group. You know, I mean, we will be also working from there as well, but, you know, really just vacation vibes. Family vacation.
Ria
Yeah. It's a good mix to have us all there, for sure.
Noah
I haven't been to Disney since I was, like, 10 or maybe. Oh, really?
Chick
Oh, my God. Wow. We're gonna bring, like, that childlike wonder back to your world. I have been pretty recent in recent years. In the past, like, three years, and before that with Marty and Disney adults. Yeah. And then I also went with my family. Honestly, I went to Disney twice in 2015.
Noah
Yeah, you're teetering the line.
Chick
No, I'm not. That's, like, the total. Like, the total.
Ria
2015 is 10 years ago.
Chick
The total of times I've been to Disney is maybe four or five. Like, I'm not teetering any line. Pipe down over there. Anyways, how was your weekend?
Noah
My weekend was great. You know, went to San Francisco. I was updating you guys on Thursday because I was in the JFK airport for, like, almost 10 hours, it felt like, because my flight kept getting delayed. And so that was a hot start to the trip. Although I did sneak into the Delta Club, which I told you, which was. I felt very accomplished when I did that.
Chick
I think I missed this.
Noah
You missed this? I was texting you guys for, like, hours.
Chick
Ah. Yeah. I think I fell asleep early.
Ria
He was. And then he said he snuck in, and then he was complaining about paying.
Noah
For drinks, actually, Yeah. I was wrong about that. So there I saw someone next to me, so I was like, oh. Like, I had already ordered mine, but I didn't have to pay for. I tipped, of course.
Chick
But, yeah, you don't have to pay for drinks in there.
Noah
No.
Chick
There are certain premium drinks. Yeah. If you want the premium wine.
Noah
Although I got an Old Fashioned and they didn't charge me, so.
Chick
Well, they use probably their house bourbon.
Noah
Mmm. Okay. But, yeah, thank God I snuck in, because otherwise that was. I've never been in an airport longer than that, but made it to San francisco at, like, 3am and.
Chick
Were you sleepy?
Noah
I can't sleep on planes. I just can't do it. Like, yeah, I just can't do it. Really? And I'm with you. Yeah.
Chick
Just struggle.
Noah
Yeah. But got some sleep and then woke up in the morning, saw Trent, and we went to Napa, like, first thing in the morning.
Chick
Oh, so before the show.
Noah
Yeah.
Chick
That was the first thing you did was Napa.
Noah
We woke up, we had a car rented, and I drove on the way there. Drove to Napa, which is, like, on the way there was like, a little over an hour, and it was great.
Chick
What'd you guys talk about?
Noah
In the car, mostly.
Chick
You figured. Figured. You guys are obsessed.
Noah
No, we were just, you know, catching up on life.
Chick
Nice.
Noah
Listening some. We were just playing dead. And company, of course.
Chick
Getting hyped.
Noah
Yeah.
Ria
Getting prepped.
Chick
Bro, bro, listen to this. When he does this riff.
Noah
Yeah. And honestly, I can't even, like, can't even really remember. It was just so. We were just naturally flowing.
Chick
You're taking us through, like, every step, but it feels like there's nothing going on. Like, we're like, what?
Noah
Equivalent of just looking at my Instagram.
Chick
Make it exciting. What happened?
Noah
Okay, so we got to the Now. I'm like, how do I make this exciting? I mean, we haven't got to an exciting. I've just. We've just. At this point in the story, we're just in the car to Napa. We haven't even gotten anywhere yet. I told you about the delay at the airport, so nothing exciting is happening.
Chick
All right, well, I'm on the edge of my seat here. I'm sorry. I'm kidding. I'm just joshing. I'm going to Josh in mood.
Noah
I'm sorry. No, no, it's fine. I mean, I'll skip ahead. We get to Napa. We get to Napa. Pull through this long. So this is a family Monticello. I hope I'm Pronouncing that right. Family run for, like, 50 years. 1 of 16 Office listeners reached out to me, being like, I know, like, my family friend owns. Blah, blah, blah. That's amazing. She hooked me up with him, and they, like, invited us out, and we. Yeah, we went there. It was kind of early. There were some people there, but it was. It's so nice up there. Like, it's just beautiful.
Chick
Gorgeous. Never been. But I also.
Noah
The temperature.
Chick
The pictures looked beautiful.
Noah
The temperature difference is insane, by the way. Like, I didn't realize San Francisco's meeting. It's gonna be cold, first of all. But once you go up to Napa, it's, like, hot again. And then Trish, who was like, I don't know what you would like. Our guide, I guess, like, our wine connoisseur was basically, like, every mile in Napa, it goes up a degree or down a degree, depending on which way you go. Which is kind of crazy because it was like. We left in the morning in San Francisco. It was probably high 50s, low 60s maybe, and Napa was, like, high 70s. And it's only an hour away. But tried some wine and started off with a chardonnay. I'm not really a big chardonnay guy. It was delicious, but I was excited for the red wine, and I took a picture of the menu. You want. You want to hear what we were trying?
Ria
My God, please.
Noah
No, honestly. Maybe you don't. Maybe you don't.
Ria
No, I actually do want to.
Noah
Okay, let's see.
Chick
She started off with white.
Noah
They started me off with white. That wasn't even on the menu. She said, ooh, okay. No, that one was. I forgot what she gave us first Chardonnay. Do you want to hear, like, is.
Ria
It with a food pairing?
Noah
We did not have food at this place. We went to have lunch afterwards at a nice place. Cabernet Frayne was after that. Is that franc? Oh, franc. Oh, franc. That's a C. And then we had a red blend and then a Cabernet Sauvignon. And, yeah, it was great. I was kind of buzzed afterwards. I'm not gonna lie. You know what? I really gotta speak this story. I'm like, we've gotten nowhere.
Ria
I'm just along for the ride.
Chick
I might close my eyes so you can take me through this.
Noah
We went through the fields.
Chick
I'm tasting the wine.
Noah
Walked through the field. They took us, actually, back to, like, where they got all the barrels and stuff and where they make it. That was cool just to see that room. And Everything.
Chick
The process. Yeah, yeah.
Noah
And yeah. So. And then we. She recommended this lunch place like that was five minutes by. And it was like, when we went to that place, it was such a nice lunch place, this restaurant. And me and Trump, it was just like we were joking about it being like a romantic getaway, but it kind of felt like that we were like, this is hilarious.
Chick
You're like, we're falling in love.
Noah
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, from the outside, that might have. That might have been what it looked like. I don't know. So we had lunch and then we kind of had to, like, go back really quickly because the concert, the music started at 4:30.
Chick
This episode is brought to you by McDonald's. Luckily, I was able to get McDonald's breakfast in time this morning, which is always such a treat, especially a Monday morning. Maybe at a long weekend, you wake up, you're just craving that McDonald's breakfast. But you gotta get it in time. That's the most important part. I got a sausage, egg and cheese McMuffin in my hand. A hash brown that I've already taken a couple bites of because I just can't resist. And honestly, the perfect combination is when you throw the hash brown on the McMuffin. Boom. There you go. I also love McGriddles. I love the hotcakes, and I always get extra hash browns because you could truly never have enough. But you gotta make sure you wake up in time for McDonald's breakfast, whether you want to make muffin, you want to bake an egg and cheese on a bagel, you want to make riddles, you want hotcakes, hash browns, a high C on the side. Maybe you want a nice coffee. The options are endless with McDonald's breakfast, so make sure you are waking up in time for McDonald's breakfast.
Noah
So we drove back. It was a lot of traffic on the way back, so it took longer on the way back. Trent drove and got back, kind of hurried up and went to the show. Fran is like, you guys are both laughing.
Chick
No, I'm not. I only started laughing because Fran started laughing. I was listening, friend. Then I saw Fran laughing and I cracked.
Ria
I'm locked in. I've decided that you were like, you know, hit a little bit of traffic, took a little bit longer.
Noah
I don't know how to.
Chick
No, trust me. I feel like I was there.
Ria
I'm enjoying this story.
Chick
So am I. I feel like I was there.
Ria
We made it to the show.
Noah
We got to the. Okay, so here's the thing. I don't want to Say, to the park? I don't know. Yeah, we got to the park.
Chick
You took shrooms.
Noah
Oh, that's not even what I was saying. But, yeah, we. Yeah, sure. Yeah, we took shrooms without being.
Ria
Yeah, those were being said.
Chick
Duh.
Noah
Which is great, by the way. Like, I think I might need to become a shroom guy and not a weed guy, because shrooms are just everything good.
Chick
Okay. But you probably shouldn't be doing that every day.
Noah
No, not every day.
Chick
Okay.
Noah
I'm just. Well, yeah, I guess, you know, you're.
Chick
Like, I'm gonna become a shroom guy instead of a weed guy. You smoke every day?
Noah
Yeah.
Chick
You can't be doing shrooms every day.
Noah
No, no. For special occasions. Yeah, I probably won't, but got to the show. I don't know what we want. First of all, Golden Gate park is crazy. Like, you get to the area and it's just, like, from the outside of forest, but you hear the music, like, in the middle of the forest. You're walking through, like, trails to get there, and you kind of feel like you're.
Chick
It's a very shroomy story. You're hearing the music.
Noah
We hadn't even taken the shrooms yet, by the way.
Ria
Okay.
Noah
We didn't take them until we were in there. And, yeah, we kind of. You're walking down this trail just hearing the music, and I'm in the weeds of this story right now. How do I get out and then.
Chick
And then I don't. Why are you struggling to tell this story of your weekend?
Noah
Because it's taking too long.
Chick
That's on. That's on you.
Noah
All right. All right.
Ria
So was there any.
Chick
What?
Ria
Any elements of the show that surprised you? That.
Noah
That's the thing. If. We haven't even got to the show. But, yeah, we get. Okay, let me fast forward.
Chick
We watch for a good story to tell. If you want it to be long.
Noah
It could be long because now we're by the water, so I think it's even colder.
Chick
I'm really.
Ria
Quick temperature check. Thank you. For the temperature check at every location.
Chick
Real quick temp check.
Noah
Let me pause.
Chick
Sweatshirt on or sweatshirt off at this point.
Noah
Sweatshirt. Sweatshirt put on. On the walk.
Chick
Okay, got it.
Noah
It was nice so that I didn't have to carry it anyway.
Chick
Noted. Right. Did you have it tied around you?
Noah
I think it was over my shoulder.
Chick
Over your shoulders?
Noah
I've never been a tie. Sweatshirt around the waist.
Chick
No, but tied around your shoulders.
Noah
Oh, no. I mean, that's. I think that's past, like, you Go waist. You got it. That's like freshman year.
Chick
Yeah, no, but I'm saying. So it's around your shoulders.
Noah
No, like, it's just like wrapped on one shoulder.
Chick
Oh, it's just raped over.
Noah
I'm not like. No, no.
Chick
You just.
Noah
You thought I would be that kind.
Chick
Of guy to like, maybe in San Francisco.
Noah
Maybe in San Francisco.
Chick
I don't know. So it's draped over one shoulder. Time checking out. A little colder. I'm having fun.
Noah
I know. I am too. But we're never getting even get to. We're on the first day and we haven't even gotten into the concert yet.
Chick
All right. I'm so locked in. It's crazy. Keep going.
Noah
Okay, I'll skip. We walk for it. Did feel like a long walk.
Chick
Don't skip a thing. Don't skip the walk.
Noah
Did feel like a long walk. And whatever the first topic is, people are just hitting that timestamp right now. And that first, like, view we have of. I didn't really know what to expect by the way we booked these flights and I didn't even look at the venue. I thought it was going to be at the. Where the Giants play baseball. I was like, oh, it'll be a normal seated event. So I didn't realize for a while that it was just a ga. Like, it's just a field of 60,000 plus people. So that first view, we were like, oh, my God. Like, it's just crazy. And we're kind of. You go into the middle of it and there's. There's always some crazy. I'm not. I don't want to say crazy. People like power to. However you enjoy these concerts.
Chick
I respect eccentric.
Ria
It's just, you know, it is dead and code to bring out some eclectic.
Noah
I hope this isn't an offensive term to use, but like, hippies like that, that's what they are, and I love it. But me and Trent. Just picture me and Trent in the middle of. Like that.
Chick
Yes.
Noah
And both of us being like, how do we get closer? How do we get to safe ground?
Chick
Yeah. How do we fit in?
Noah
That's a big one. Both of us. Yeah. We're wearing like, just. Fran is like, fuck this. Fran just left.
Chick
The story's gone on for so long. Fran decided to leave. Actually, she just left. She said, I'm okay. I'm done.
Ria
What did I miss?
Noah
Oh, Olive's here.
Chick
Okay. Olive wants to hear the story.
Ria
She was going to start barking at the door, so I wanted to let her in.
Noah
And so, yeah, basically at one point, we figured we could upgrade to vip. There was a VIP section, so we upgraded at some point, got to the vi, which was like. We were just getting through the crowd was a challenge. But we did got there, got into that section. Very more space there and closer to the stage there. And then. Billy Strings was the opener. He was. Never seen him live, obviously. He's like, giant and has fans.
Ria
Joe Riley, Big Billy Strings.
Noah
Yeah, I never. We kind of didn't really take in his set, the opening set, because we were, like, just focused on, like, getting through the crowd and. But sounded great. And then they had, like, a cool, like, section for the VIP area and.
Chick
Don't worry, I'm listening.
Noah
Okay. I was just. I'm. I have such bad add.
Chick
I'm listening. Don't pay attention to friends. She's not listening. I'm listening.
Ria
I'm listening. But there's so many people in my house. Joe heard me say his name.
Noah
He said, oh, telling the story. Can we.
Chick
Can we get in? Yeah, they all want to hear.
Ria
Joe probably wants to hear about your weekend more than I do.
Noah
Yeah. But, yeah, Jad and company came on and it was wild. Just, look, I'll just say this. Let me just really try to just fast forward through this night a little more. The venue itself is really cool because it's just a giant park and you're just like. You feel like you're in the forest, but at night it becomes something completely different. I kind of sound like I'm like, a hippie now. No, I get what you're saying, man. No, I get it, but it really does. They light up all the trees.
Ria
Oh, really?
Noah
Throughout the whole thing. And it's kind of paired with the lighting on stage. So during the show, the trees are, like, changing lights. Like, obviously, like, there's a lot of people on drugs there. I think that they might be doing it for them, but it was just visually crazy. Yeah, but you don't. You don't need it. Like, it's just cool to see. They had, like, a giant, like, windmill that would light up, and it was very cool.
Chick
Very cool visual.
Noah
And, yeah, John. You know, John and the band.
Chick
John ripped it.
Noah
John ripped it, as always. He brought. They brought out Billy Strings for a song, which was awesome. And, yeah, it's crazy. They do this thing during Dead shows. I'm sure you don't know because you've never been, but it's called Space, where, like, just in the middle of the show, the band leaves, except the drummers, and they kind of like, do all these crazy lights, and it's just. It's kind of scary, if I'm being honest. You feel like it's turned. The concert turns into a haunted house at some point.
Chick
Okay.
Noah
And this crazy lights and these, like, kind of eerie drums are being played. And apparently this. They do it to fuck with the crowd because they know everyone's on drugs.
Chick
Yeah, that makes sense.
Ria
Well, it's a big. That's a big drug.
Noah
That's a big drama. Yeah, I know. A lot of people are. You gotta stay for it. Me and Trent were like, let's get out. Like, we went back to the section.
Chick
Let's run.
Noah
A lot of people did. And it was even, like, getting to it, like. Cause they have all these weird lights. You feel way more delirious than you are in that moment. And then we sat down and you watched the crowd. Like, we were on a bench kind of facing the way that the crowd was coming. Like, a lot of people started piling it because a lot of people didn't want to be there for that. Or it's like a bathroom break. And it was. You felt like you were in a horror movie for a second. People's faces were like, wow.
Chick
Yeah.
Noah
But, yeah, I'll finish this night. Great show. Incredible show. We're still on the first night, honestly, the second night is kind of just like. We don't need to go through that because it's the same for the most part. Yeah, it was fantastic.
Ria
Who played night two?
Noah
Sturgill Simpson. I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with him. He opens, and then they brought him out for song two. Andy Cohen was there, by the way. It's funny, because we were in the VIP section, and. And there was a super VIP section where I was like, what is in there? Who is in there?
Ria
That's the vvip.
Noah
Those tickets I checked, just out of curiosity, we're going for over $8,000.
Chick
Wow. That's insane.
Noah
And then I saw online, like, Andy Cohen dancing from, like.
Chick
Of course. Yeah.
Noah
But, yeah. And the second night was just as great. And. Yeah.
Ria
Did you ride the streetcar?
Noah
So the streetcar was on Saturday, and we had, like, breakfast. We walked around breakfast for trying to find a breakfast place, by the way. And the whole city was just. I don't know how this city. We went there once, but, like, without a Dead show. Because every single breakfast place we go to would have a line down the street, and they're all, like, Dead and Company fans. So I'm like, I think this city might be Just, like, empty when there's no show. It seemed that way.
Chick
It was just all the fans who even lives here.
Noah
No, seriously, this city only exists for this show. But, yeah, and then we went to this cable car place where it's, like, the start of it, so the start of where the cable car goes. And we waited in line for, like, at least an hour with, like, mostly kids, and we got on and then immediately, like, went up in the first stop. They just let people on. So we could have just went up at any point. Like, I feel like I'm not even following my story right now.
Chick
I'm following.
Noah
Are you following?
Chick
I am following.
Noah
I'm, like, lost in my.
Chick
Is this Saturday?
Noah
We're.
Ria
Honestly, we're fine. You keep bringing it up.
Chick
Yeah, you're the one who keeps stopping yourself.
Noah
I'm, like, checking. Oh, my God, how long this has been going.
Chick
Yeah, I gotta pee.
Ria
I got a couple of questions.
Noah
Well, the cable car was cool. Did it. It doesn't go that long. It takes you to the. Remember when you and Trent, when we were in San Francisco, went to have, like, clamp chowder or whatever without us? That's kind of like where it takes you. The cable car. And so we walked around there, and I was like, oh, well, there's water here.
Ria
That where the seals were.
Noah
Yeah. That wasn't a swimming area, because I did go on the cable car with a towel from my hotel in a bathing suit under my pants to be like, just in case we hit the water.
Ria
That was my question, because that was not in your Instagram post. So was that not.
Noah
Well, here's the thing. I can't cross that off. I almost don't want to spoil it. Did I go. Did I go in the ocean? I don't know. I did. Wait, should I. Should I say.
Ria
So you just saved it.
Noah
Well, I can't cross it off because I have to go in another. I had to go in two in the same month. So how I cross that off?
Chick
Okay, so no, you didn't cross it off yet, but you did go in.
Noah
I did go in. And we went to, like, August.
Ria
Yeah, August just started. So now you gotta go back.
Noah
We went to the beach right next to Gold, one of the beaches right next to the Golden Gate Bridge. Pretty sick, and it was cold out, so I was like, the water's gonna be also everywhere I looked. No beaches in San Francisco were like, yeah, go swimming. Like, that's not. So I was kind of worried. I'm like, I'm seeing things about, like, the Water's way too cold. Like there's bacteria, like all this stuff. But I was just like, why not? So we went to the beach and jumped in and it was actually great. It wasn't. It felt almost warmer than like I was expecting to be way colder. But it's a funny video. Like once I go in maybe this week, like if I'm back on the kid.
Chick
Yeah, you can knock it off. Well, that's great to hear that you went in the water. Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. But you're right. You wouldn't be. You can't cross.
Noah
I can't cross. It wasn't swimming the Pacific. It was swimming too.
Chick
Now that you and Trent had a weekend together, you guys think you would go on another trip together? Are you compatible as vacation buddies?
Noah
I would say so. I hope he would agree. But I think we had a grand old time.
Chick
I could see you guys being compatible vacation buddies.
Noah
We had a lot of go with the flow. Yeah.
Chick
Laughing, having a good time.
Noah
No, I thought it was a great weekend, a great pairing.
Chick
Yes. That sounds wonderful.
Noah
Yeah. And that was pretty much it. Yeah, we swam, went back, went back for night two and then that was it.
Chick
Early flight on Sunday.
Noah
Yeah, I had a 9:30 flight which is. It's always tough on it like when you're coming back because you just lose the whole day.
Chick
Yeah, you're right. You land so much later going there, you gain coming back, you're losing.
Noah
Yeah. But that was it. That was it. We're done. We made it back in New York.
Chick
And that wraps up today's episode.
Noah
I think that's everything we got. Yeah.
Chick
Happy you had a wonderful weekend. I'm not gonna lie. I am a little jealous. I feel like you guys had such a spectacular weekend. The two of you, you and Frank.
Noah
We really did that.
Chick
I feel like maybe me and Fran were left out of some laughs and such. But I'm happy you guys enjoyed it. Happy you crossed some things off your list. It sounds like the shows were incredible.
Noah
I did say to turn. I'm like, so you could still bunch of each other. You want to check another one off?
Chick
Me and Joey. Yeah, that's true.
Noah
He's like, I'm doing like three things with you already.
Chick
Yeah, that's true, that's true. You can't drag them on for everything. But that does sound very fun and I'm very excited for you to cross off another thing on your list upcoming. A couple things more. We got a couple things on the schedule. But really excited for Disney is Right around the corner. I cannot wait for that. We're gonna have so much fun. So, Noah, thank you for taking us on that journey.
Noah
Sorry to everyone.
Chick
No, no need for apologies. We wanted to go on that journey with you and we're glad you took us.
Noah
I should say, like, we should have.
Chick
Taken shrooms for that journey of you just telling the story.
Noah
I should have put it in the description, like, just for that timestamp part. Like fast, like do three times the speed on this.
Chick
It's just you speed talking through the weekend. No, thank you for taking us on that journey. We were happy to join you.
Noah
I feel like I told that so poorly. I probably missed some things.
Chick
Listen, you're being very hard on yourself and very insecure right now. And you know what? This is like exposure therapy of telling stories for you. So you know what? We got through it and we're here and we're happy for you. Thank you. All right, let's get into the topics. I'm going to go to the bathroom, though. I have to pee.
Ria
Went on for so long. She needs a bathroom.
Chick
I literally have to pee. All right, I'm back. I peed. Let's get into the topics for today. We're gonna be talking about some more Love island drama between, you know, the guy Lewis Russell, who was on originally Too Hot to Handle, is now dating Huda. And there was some drama with them against Liam, Miguel and a whole thing.
Noah
We'll.
Chick
We'll dive into all of that because it was a little bit confusing to follow, but I think I've gathered what happened here. The holiday is becoming a TV show. Same premise, all new characters, very exciting. Brooklyn Beckham Peltz and Nicola Beckham Peltz renewed their vows just three years after their wedding. And Craig Conover was seen with model Liz Turner, or Elizabeth Turner, I think is her full name. And we also have the weekly watch report. So let's get into the topics. They don't make it easy to buy concert tickets these days. You gotta sign up for the pre sale, get in the queue, and by the time you get through, the best seats are gone. Going to a concert should be about the show itself, not waiting in a virtual line. Lucky for us, we always use Game Time, the official ticketing partner of Barcelona Sports.

So Miguel from Love island season 6 who is dating Leah, had to clear up some things on his story this past weekend because it seems as though there was some drama unfolding between him and his friend Louis, who Lewis was on Too Hot to Handle and now was on this past season of Perfect Match but is now dating Hudda. And this happened pretty quickly. Right after the Villa, Huda and Lewis were seen together holding hands, walking the streets like literally the week that they got back. So people are like, whoa, how did these two meet so quickly? It was a whole thing. There was a lot of speculation of what was happening because Leah and the girl seemed to unfollow Lewis on Instagram around the same time he was seen with Huda. And people online made this like a Huda thing that they were like against Huda and that was not the case. This turned into a whole thing online where one of Miguel's friends was on live and he was like talking to Miguel on the phone while he was on live, which was really like kind of an invasion of privacy, I think, for them because I don't know if Miguel knew they were on live while they were doing this. It was, it was very bizarre what was happening, but it kept growing and people were getting more mad on TikTok I saw because they thought that Leah was unfollowing Lewis because he was with Huda and it was a whole thing. And. And Leah commented, I don't know Huda, there is no beef. I wish her well. I'm always happy to see a fellow Middle Eastern shine. I pray she protects her energy from all kinds of people. There's many reasons why we all unfollowed Lewis. Huda isn't one of them and never was. They can try and spin it that way but they know that's not the truth because I've said directly to face why this live had 60 views. If you think any of this is for anything but clout lol. It's the month I'm telling you so she commented that I don't know if anybody else saw she posted on her story a screenshot of when all the Kenny stuff was going down last week about how this is like the month of of clout chasing. It seems like they were on to Louis about being a clout chaser or whatever it is. So Leah comments this on a TikTok about the live that Miguel's friend was on on the phone Miguel and then Miguel posts on his story because this just got out of hand because people were accusing them of not liking Huda when they were like that's not the case. We don't know Huda so the Miguel post on his story if you know me, you know I'm someone who's very private. If I have a problem I deal with it personally. However, the more I dive into this world, the more I see some people have different takes on that and perspectives can get corrupted. People I called my friends feeling as though they have the right to talk on my relations so negatively in such a public manner with no regard for how this might affect my girl's mental making assumptions without first understanding reasonings behind certain people's actions and using that to let people drag her name and drag my relationship is disgusting. I'm beyond disappointed, I'm beyond upset and I honestly want no part in any of it. It feels ridiculous I'm even writing this message. But this is the world I'm in and everyone seems to need an explanation. So here it is. The people you thought I was close to. Please remove that idea from your mind because it's clear to me now. We're walking two different paths and to shed light on a certain topic, Leah and the girls didn't unfollow Lewis because he was dating Huda. They did it because as women, the reasoning behind why he was dating her didn't sit right with them. Whether or not they are truly falling for each other at this point I couldn't care less. I wish them nothing but peace. But my road is my own. I would prefer my name and my girl's name no longer cross into the world into their world. So I assume what happened here is that they found out maybe Lewis was saying he was dating Hudda for clout or whatever it is because Miguel so Clearly states here, as women, they don't agree with the reasoning as to why Lewis was dating her now. He said now, if they're truly falling for each other, he couldn't care less at this point. But it seems like the very beginning was maybe done for different reasons and not having to do with Huda, but having to do with Lewis. So a lot going on here.
Ria
A lot. I didn't really know who this guy was at all. I saw those pictures. I didn't watch that season to watch Handle. Obviously he's on Perfect Match, which I watch, but I'm confused from the. Was Lewis on the Live?
Chick
Lewis was not on the Live.
Ria
So what does the Live have to do with any of it?
Chick
One of their other friends was on the Live talking about all of this. Was talking about Miguel and Leah.
Ria
Oh, oh.
Chick
And was talking shit about them and all that.
Ria
But then what did that have to do with Louis?
Chick
It was about them unfollowing Louis.
Ria
Oh, I got you. I got you. I got you. He. Someone was on Live being like, oh, they all unfollowed Louis, making it a bigger deal than it probably was. Okay, that makes.
Chick
Well, I think it was a big deal that they. I mean, like, they clearly don't like him, so they unfollowed him. No.
Ria
Yes.
Chick
But, like, then.
Ria
But like, talking about it on Live, obviously, yes. Shouts, you know, sends it out to. To more people. I mean, yeah, there's.
Chick
But like. But Leah commented, she was like, this live had 60 views. It was their friend Isaac, Miguel and Lewis's friend Isaac, and he was on Live, like, talking about why Leah unfollowed Lewis on Instagram, making it seem more that it was about Huda. But, you know, Miguel cleared it up on his story.
Ria
I mean, all this combined with the. With the Kenny stuff, like, these girls are probably just so done with any sort of clout chasing in relationships or even rumors of it, you know, what happened with Janae, that they're probably like, have zero tolerance at all. And if they got that maybe Lewis was out with Huda for those reasons, they're gonna be like, I do not want this guy around at all. I don't even want to see what he's doing because it's just like, obviously similar to what they've already been dealing with. And you know that it does suck for Huda because then it's like, I'm sure on her side, it's like, oh, they say it's not about me, but, like, it still is kind of about me. It is about the Relationship.
Chick
She's involved, but she is not the doer of, you know.
Ria
Yeah.
Chick
Why?
Ria
Right. It's not like I'm unfollowing because of her.
Chick
Yeah, they're. They're unfollowing because he must have told somebody that he was. You know, if. If Miguel's writing on his story, they didn't agree with the reasonings, then he must have told somebody through the grapevine that that's why he was doing it, you know?
Ria
Yeah. Which is also not that surprising, too, because it's like, it was so fat. Just from an outside perspective, like, seeing photos of the two of them seemingly, like, at events and posing together, like, so quickly outside of the villa, it's like, oh, you're moving fast. To be seen out in public.
Chick
Yeah. They were holding hands, walking around like. Like, pretty asap. Like, it was. It was very quick. So a lot going on. But honestly, I love that those girls stand for no nonsense. Like, they're like, no, you're not gonna drag our names into this bullshit. We're not a bunch of clout chasers. There's a bunch of clout ch. We're not them. We don't want to be involved with them. We don't want to associate with them. I love that. I love that they just, like, protect their own world, because it does seem like they want to protect their peace, as they should in this crazy, you know, amazing fandom. At the same time, like, they have grown so much from this fandom that they're in, but at the same time, it can get out of hand really quick. So I do respect them for that, but it seems like there's just. It's just messy clout chasing going on.
Ria
Definitely.
Chick
Yeah.
Ria
And I. What? But those group, you know, they'll always stand on business. That whole group, and that's 100. Like, you gotta respect it for that. It's like, no. Well, we'll do what we want to do.
Chick
Yeah. They're not messing around. And I do appreciate that. Moving on the holiday. It has been reported that it will be coming a TV show, not the original cast, which we could all have assumed, but the premise of the holiday will be developed into a TV show, which I love. I could totally see it being a TV show. I love the premise. I feel like you can really spin this into anything. Two people switching houses in two different worlds and seeing what happens from there. Love it. I think it's great.
Ria
I do, too. And I was really excited about it until I also saw that, like, Nancy Myers has nothing to do with it. Which I didn't love that because it's like, oh, I feel like she would be involved in some way, but apparently she is not. This is Apple TV plus is in the works to create a limited series adaptation of Reboots. The premise of the film with new characters. They have like a new, you know, a new writer, executive producer. And apparently Nancy Myers has no involvement in the project, which I don't love, because literally what makes it so magical is that Nancy Myers touch. And like, you know, it's like, if you're gonna make it a TV show, amazing, great. Like, obviously the concept still works for new people of, like, house swapping and doing the whole thing. But the TV show, it's like, oh, you can re. New cast the whole thing. But what would make it still so magical is if it had the Nancy Meyers touch. You feel. You feel it with, like, the decor and the houses and the whole vibe and everything. And this apparently won't. Won't have it. Which makes me a little more skeptical about it. I'm not gonna lie. Cause I'm like, how could you reboot this without her?
Chick
Yeah, it needs the Nancy Myers charm. Although I will say, I'll play devil's advocate here. If they were just coming out with a show and they didn't say it was gonna be a remake of the holiday, and they just put out a show and it was the same exact premise, we would probably enjoy it. You know what I'm saying? Like, you put out.
Ria
Yes, definitely. But we would be. We'd be like, this is a. This is a ripoff of the holiday.
Chick
Yeah, like, wow, they really stole us from the holiday. Moving along. We like the show, you know, So I think we need to focus more on that aspect of it. We're like, it's a good premise, and I'm sure whoever's making it will put their touch on it. But there is something about that Nancy Myers charm that makes her feel warm and cozy and. And just cuddly on the inside that we sure will be missing. But I'm gonna go into it with an open mind and just be happy that we're getting a sort of a TV show like this, because I do really think it's a fun premise.
Ria
I. I agree. I think it's something that totally works and can work in multiple iterations. You know, you can have like, multiple seasons with different people, same kind of idea. You're right.
Chick
They could do multiple. You could have four or five seasons of two. Two people, two different places, Swat swapping. Whatever happens, happens. You're right. Yeah. The. The world is endless.
Ria
Finding love. I wonder if it'll still have that same Chris, like, you know, obviously, holiday season cheer. Of course, it's literally called the holiday, but.
Chick
Right, right. It could be about every holiday.
Ria
Yeah. It could be any time of the year.
Chick
Yeah. You can go through any holiday you wish. You know what I mean? So I'm excited for that. I think it'll be cute. Although missing the Nancy Myers charm.
Ria
Yeah, definitely.
Chick
Brooklyn and Nicola review renewed their vows after three years of marriage. And we can all assume that something had to have happened for them to be doing this, because I don't think you go renew your vows after three years of marriage unless the rumors about your family being in an explosive fight are true and that it all stems from your wedding day. I think that you. I think if I had to guess here, because I don't know if we ever did talk about this on the podcast and I know that we talked about it at our live shows, but the big rumor of the fight between Nicola and Victoria and the whole family was that on their wedding day, they thought that they were being a gift. They were being gifted a first dance sung by the one and only Marc Anthony. And Marc Anthony got up there and said, I want to bring up the most beautiful woman in the room, Victoria Beckham on Nicola's wedding day. And then Victoria danced with Brooklyn when it was supposed to be Nicola dancing with her husband. And Nicola ran out of the room in tears. Apparently this did happen. Allegedly. Some sources did confirm that this did happen. So then it seemed like they maybe got over it for a little bit and something must have struck it back up because then, you know, they weren't seen at more parties and it was on and off. Oh, are they at the holidays? Are they not at the holidays? Are they seen together? Right now it seems like they're on bad terms and. And they just renewed their vows. And to me this screams, let's go have a renewal of our vows without my family ruining our wedding day. That's what this screams to me, 100%.
Ria
It's a major head scratcher. You see this any other family, you're like, oh, that's so sweet. But you think about it again, it's like, oh, this is such a massive sign that they felt this would be the right time to renew their vows when there are just non stop rumors that the family is feuding. And it's also like, you know, it's not five years, it's not 10 years. They got married in April of 2022, and they did this on August 2nd.
Chick
It's a very random time to renew your vows. Like renewing your vows three years in.
Ria
Yeah. And it's not even like on your anniversary. They didn't do this.
Chick
No. Like, I'm like, something's awry here. And it's. It's the Beckham family.
Ria
Yes. So a source told people the event is about honoring the love and commitment they've built together over the years and creating a memory that will stay with them forever. They just got married, right.
Chick
Did the memory fade that fast? I don't.
Ria
It's like they just wanted to redo.
Chick
Yeah, Well, I think that's what I think happened. I think they were probably like, you know what? Let's go renew our vows without my family and Marc Anthony getting up there and ruining the night. Like, can you imagine being Marc Anthony, having such a big place in this and really not even knowing, you know, like, Marc Anthony thought he was just introducing his friend Victoria up on stage to dance. Do a mother son dance. But it really was supposed to be the first dance of Nicola in Brooklyn. I mean, my God. My God, though, on your wedding day, Marc Anthony gets up there and is like the most beautiful. The most beautiful woman in the world. The most beautiful woman in the room. The bride is always the most beautiful woman in the room. On the wedding day. You always refer to the bride as the most beautiful woman in the room. You don't get up there and introduce Victoria Beckham as the most beautiful woman in the room on her daughter in law's wedding day. You just don't do it, you know?
Ria
No, no.
Chick
To have her dance with Brooklyn to their supposed. It was supposed to be their song. Can you imagine hearing that song now? If you're broken in Nicola, that's probably.
Ria
Why they want to redo this whole thing. It's like, oh, they're like, there's. They're in such a cycle of fights with the family that they're like, it. The fact that that's our memories from our wedding. Let's just redo it and renew our vows. And then we can just remember that when they all weren't there. Yeah.
Chick
That is just. That is wild. It did seem like for a little bit they had gotten over that hump, but something must have happened again, because it is no good.
Ria
Yeah. It seems like the brothers like, well, because then there was like the brother. One of the brothers was dating the girls was that girl that was like, oh, she. They thought she had dated Brooklyn in the past, and then she was like, no, we didn't. So that, you know, a lot going on.
Chick
There's a lot going on in the Beckham family. And, you know, watching that documentary about them, I really did enjoy. And. But now when you hear these rumors and you hear these stories, you're like, that is not good. You know, and if Brooklyn really wants nothing to do with his family.
Ria
I'm waiting to see, like, pictures or anything from this event. They haven't really posted anything. I just want to check.
Chick
Small, intimate gathering without Marc Anthony. Mark Anthony. We can all assume Mark Anthony was not invited to the renewal of the vows. No, no.
Ria
They invited JLO instead.
Chick
Yes. JLO got an invite. Moving along. Last topic here. Craig Conover was seen with model Liz Turner. Elizabeth Turner. I'm not exactly sure what she goes by, but I know that, you know, that's her name.
Ria
Yes.
Chick
And they were seen out together.
Ria
Yeah. They were captured walking the streets of Charleston hand in hand. You know, Craig's gonna be out there. He's gonna be dating. I recognize the name. I was like, why do I know? And. And she's, you know, she's got a ton of followers. She is out there in the. In the public eye, and she does a lot. She's like a psychotherapist. And I think she went to Duke. And she's also a model. Like this, you know, this chick does it all. She talk about beauty and brains. And I was like, why do I feel like there was somebody, though? And I forgot that after. Yeah, I forgot that after Gabby, Wendy, and Eric broke up. Eric and Elizabeth Turner dated for a while.
Chick
And also Tyler Cameron.
Ria
And Tyler Cameron. Why else?
Chick
Because that was pretty sure.
Ria
There's no. I think that. No. And there's. I think there was rumors about Tyler. I think there was rumors about the guy from. The actor from New Amsterdam, Eggold. What was his name?
Chick
Yeah. Yeah.
Ria
And then I think I saw some Leonardo DiCaprio rumors in there, too.
Chick
Oh, well, obviously, that's gotta be sprinkled in there. Tyler Cameron. This was around. This was 2020. He was seen spending time with Elizabeth Turner. Yeah.
Ria
Yeah. Seems like it could be a good fit for old Craig, you know?
Chick
Yeah. Why not?
Ria
I know. She is. She is gorgeous.
Chick
Of course.
Ria
Yeah.
Chick
Yeah. Stunning. Yeah.
Ria
But I was like, I didn't know, because at first I just saw the name.
Chick
I didn't know that she dated the guy from the Bachelor. Yeah. I did not know that.
Ria
Yep.
Chick
Where even is he now? Like, what does he do?
Ria
Great question.
Chick
Haven't seen him since Gabby broke up with him. Have no idea what that man is up to.
Ria
Great, Great question. Yeah, no, he's definitely stayed out of the. Out of the spotlight because when I first saw the video was like, oh, Craig walking with girl. That was at the time. Unidentified. And then when I saw the name, I was like, oh, I totally recognize this name.
Chick
Yes, for sure. We definitely seen. Seen her before. Stunning, obviously. Stunning model and.
Ria
Yep.
Chick
You know what? Yeah. Craig's gonna be out there dating, so.
Ria
Exactly.
Chick
Nice little. Nice little summer night date. Why not?
Ria
Yeah. Hard to get away with anything in Charleston as well, you know?
Chick
Right. For sure. You're definitely gonna be spotted.
Ria
Yeah. Like walking down King street after a nice dinner out. Like you're gonna be sniped a million times.
Chick
Oh, for sure. That's very. The most popular street you can walk down.
Ria
Yeah, exactly.
Noah
So hopefully that was that restaurant we went to with him, Halls. Oh, great restaurant.
Chick
Yeah, that's a good spot where I went. That is really good.
Ria
Gray restaurant.
Chick
That is solid. But yeah, that's nice, you know, nice little summer. Who knows what it could turn into?
Noah
We should go back there.
Chick
We should.
Ria
Exactly.
Chick
We are going to Charleston soon and. Yeah, we got to get the halls. Hey, halls, want to let us in?
Ria
No.
Chick
That's nice though. We'll see where it ends up. And that wraps up the topics for today.

Watch report where we talk about the things we watch this week. Weekly watch report on Monday. Weekly watch report on Monday. Weekly watch report on Monday. Weekly watch report on Monday. Okay. I watched the Billy Joel documentary. Wow. Long documentary. Wow. It was two parts, both two hours each. It was really good, though. Really interesting. I felt like I learned a lot. I felt like so, you know, obviously love so many Billy Joel songs, but to know the stories actually behind them and why they were written and how real they are makes me love songs even more.
Noah
I didn't know about the Vienna thing.
Chick
Yeah, Vienna. Or even Piano man, which is, like, such a popular song. And when you hear Piano man now, you're like, oh, it's so popular. Whatever. But then if you go back and listen to it now in the way that he described it being written, it makes it even that much more interesting, which I love to hear. So many tidbits about his life that I was unaware of.
Noah
He had a tough life going on.
Chick
The beginning. The start of it was definitely emotional and, you know, didn't know any of that, which was very interesting. He had a lot of wives as well. You know, it seems like he's got relationship issues, but it was all really interesting to learn about. And all the people who talked about him in the documentary and himself, which was so interesting. I will give it a B. I very much enjoyed it. I loved learning about it. A little long at parts.
Noah
Yeah.
Chick
Dragged on at parts a little bit where I was like. It felt like he was like, I can't leave a single thing out.
Noah
That's me and him.
Chick
Yeah. Like, he was like, I can't. You and Billy, one and the same. It felt like he couldn't leave a single thing out of his story, which I respect, but it did, like, drag in some parts. I watched five episodes of We Were Liars. Just tell her, for God's sake, what happened. My God. Every. Like, I'm. I zone out, and all of a sudden it's like, why won't anyone tell me what happened? And I'm like, seriously, why won't anybody tell her?
Ria
What?
Chick
Like, seriously, what the fuck happened? Like, I'm just. I. I don't know. I. I'm not. I. I don't love it. I'm not gonna lie.
Ria
I. I got nothing to. I got nothing to say. Because it'll.
Chick
It'll.
Ria
It's. You have to. You have to make it to the end.
Chick
No, I know. I will make it to the end. I don't not like it, but I'm not. I'm not. Like, I love this show.
Ria
I Will tell you it all. It all makes a lot of sense when you get to the end.
Chick
Okay. I'll give it a B. It's like, obviously, I need to know what happens.
Ria
Yeah.
Chick
But I'm not, like, raving about this show. I'm not like, oh, please. Because it's. I'm more just frustrated.
Ria
Yeah.
Chick
Watching it. I'm like, what the fuck happened? Just, like, tell me. You know, I know that's.
Ria
You gotta.
Chick
I know that's the whole point of the show, but I'm like, yes. So I will give that to be.
Ria
Very interested to hear what you think when you make it to the end.
Chick
Yeah. I'm still behind on a couple things I watched my Oxford year, which was, you know.
Ria
Just.
Chick
I love, like. I feel like any. It's kind of the same recipe, but I just feel like I'm gonna watch it every time. And I just. Sophia Carson is so stunning. Like, I know that gets talked about a lot, but Sophia Carson, like, is so mesmerizing on the screen. I will give my Oxford year a B. What else did I watch? I'm still behind on. Oh, Summer, I turned pretty. I'm still behind on the Hunting Wives. I'm backed up on Animal Kingdom now. I'm backed up on a lot of things. I just, like, start something and then I get distracted, and then I'm like, wait, I need to watch this and then I need to watch that. And, like, there's just a lot that I need to catch up on right now. Summer, I turn pretty. I will give. I watched this episode three times.
Noah
Three times.
Chick
I watched it twice by myself, and then Matt wanted to watch, so I watched it again with him. Yes.
Noah
He's caught up on the entire series.
Chick
Yes.
Noah
Oh, wow. Gotta text him.
Chick
Yeah. You guys.
Ria
Yeah. I was gonna say Noah's got a shit. No, no, it's got.
Chick
I will give this episode an A. Minus. Like, I'm so locked into this season, it's insane. Like, I also started reading the book this weekend. The third one because.
Ria
Just the third one.
Chick
Just the third one because I'm impatient. I need to know what the fuck happens.
Noah
Wait, really? You don't want to. Like, you're spoiling it for yourself.
Chick
I'm not rushing through the book by any means. You know, I'm not, like, almost done with the book. I literally read a little bit on the beach on Saturday and I. More. Just wanna know because she said that there was gonna be some different things from the book. I wanna know what's different. I don't wanna be left out of this conversation. So now I'm reading it so that I don't feel left out of the, of the conversation of what did they change in this season? So we'll see. If I end up making it to the end, before the end, then I'm in a, I'm in three different books right now, so it's possible that I don't make it before the end of the season. I could do a slow burn on the third.
Ria
It has certainly dominated, I feel like my life. Like, even this morning I woke up thinking about it like a Monday morning where it's like, normally you're sad about it being in the beginning. Like, you're like, oh, Monday. But in my mind, like, I know. Joke woke up and was like, only two more days till a new episode. I know.
Noah
Do you watch it on like midnight on Tuesday or not?
Ria
No, no, no. I wake up. I, I watch it like when I wake up Wednesday morning.
Chick
Yeah, I know. I, I, yeah, I watch it on Wednesdays evening. Wednesday evening, not in the morning. That is everything I watched. I think I could be missing something, but I guess I don't know at this point.
Ria
So do you plan on finishing Love island uk?
Chick
I do. I did watch some episodes of Love island uk. I just had to take like a large break from Love Island. I got Love island fatigue and felt I had to take a large break. I actually did watch some episodes. I forgot about that. I prefer if it wasn't spoiled, but if you feel like you have to, then I feel like you can. But I think that there might be other people in the same boat as me.
Ria
It's a lot and it's a long season and there's a lot happening. I was shocked by, you know, I posted at the end of last week the my thoughts on trying to get someone to let Lola inside so she stops barking now. Finally, my mom. Thank you. Yeah. I posted my, like, one screenshot on Instagram. I got so many DMS of people watching it and also like, so many girls being like, ugh, like I'm caught up but none of my friends are. And like all these things and like, talk about it. Talk about it. I was like, well, there's so much going on and Ria's watching it, but it's just like there's the move that this man Harry has made before the last week out of this world. Crazy Nothing. Like nothing I've ever seen before.
Chick
Really?
Ria
Truly.
Chick
Okay. Should I just skip a bunch of.
Ria
Episodes and like, yeah, like, pick up at the graftees.
Chick
Okay.
Ria
Like, pick up at the graftees and go from there because that's really all you like. And the graftees honestly pissed me off, too, because I felt like they were really trying to make Tony and Shakira look like these massive, like, mean girls. Like, the whole thing. It's like they only showed clips of them being, like, quote unquote, mean girls. And, yeah, I mean, what they said wasn't the nicest, but it just seems like they've had reasons on. On why. And I think a lot of, like, the issues stem from, like, the other group. And there was, like, such a divide. And then we had, like, the family show up, and then the families had, like, a lot to say because they were like, oh. It was like families had a lot of opinions about what was going down, which was very interesting to see as well, because sometimes you get the families in and they're just like, oh, we're so proud of you. We're so excited to meet the person, you know, whatever. But, like, there's been so much drama that's literally just happened that they're like, holy. But no, I mean, there's obviously been couples on Love island that have broken up for other people, but, like, what Harry did is.
Chick
Is wild.
Ria
Is just wild. So I think you just skip ahead and watch because I don't know what this man is getting away. Like, he's really getting away with absolute murder. And I wish all the girls would just dump his ass. Like, it's crazy to me that there are the girls, like, entertaining anything about him at all. It blows my mind. So that's. And I think it's, like, over right now, to be honest. I think it. I think the finale, like, aired in the UK either, like, last night or maybe tonight, because I saw pictures of outfits and stuff, but I haven't seen. The last episode I watched was when the families came in. I'll give that. I'll give that an a because, my God, these last few episodes between the graftees to when the family showed up, I could not believe what I was watching, really. Just between all of them, I watched the first two episodes of Perfect Match, which I weirdly love. I don't know why, like, it's such a silly show and you. It's filmed so long ago. I feel like, you know, everything that happened. You know what? Couples work or don't work or whatever. But seeing this mix and bringing people outside of Netflix was actually really interesting and I think a really good idea seeing Clayton in this environment. Whoa. It's a different. Whole different side of him.
Chick
I can't wait to watch. That's gonna be my. That's gonna be my Monday night viewing.
Ria
Yeah. Whole different side of him. It's. It's bad. Good tv, you know, I'll give it a B plus. They play like silly challenges. I love seeing Juliet back. You're getting some of these guys that you, you know, Love is blind uk we watch getting them in the mix with some of the other girls, and they just go hot and heavy fast. Like, they start kissing, making out with everybody. It's like very, you know, everybody moves fast and. And getting to that point, and it'll be very interesting to see. I've only watched the first two episodes, though, so I'm excited to get back into that. The Summer I Turned Pretty. I'll give an A. Did I grade Perfect Match? No. I'll give episode one and two a B plus.
Chick
Yeah, you did. Sorry.
Ria
Oh, I did say it. Okay. B plus. I. I can't even remember. I will give my Oxford year a B plus as well. I thought it was adorable, but like, I said to Corey when we had him on, my God, just ripped my. Ripped my heart out. But, you know, I don't know if it was just like an outlier or whatever, but I saw, like, some people criticizing Sophia Carson on TikTok about this movie. Like, and I was like, what's. I love her and I think she's great. And I love these Netflix movies that she's in. And they were, like, talking about her. I don't know. It was kind of bizarre. I was like, I don't follow this at all. I thought her and Corey were actually fantastic together. And I thought it was so, you know, it was so sweet. But, yeah, it. I was certainly crying by the. By the end of it. Oh, my goodness gracious. It was beautifully shot. Like, loved everything around, like, Oxford, the whole thing, his family's house. Like, it was all so, so gorgeous. And I caught up a little bit on some. On some Bravo shows last week that I hadn't finished. I finished all of. Finished all of Next Gen. Really? Yeah, I watched the whole thing.
Chick
Why?
Ria
I couldn't look away. I really couldn't look away in a bad way.
Chick
There's some uninteresting people I've ever seen on. On our television screens.
Ria
I couldn't believe, really, like. And it just ended well. I just see people talking about it in, like, a positive way. I'm just like, what? What are we watching? Some of them are interesting and some of Them really just are not at all like Ava Dash not in the show. Like, she just like she was around for a little bit the beginning and then like the whole drama at the end was that she just didn't go to Brooke's birthday because she had an event in, in the Hamptons. And like that was the whole time she was on the show. Really. I don't know if, I mean, I don't know if it's going to get picked up again. This kid Charlie was like the most insufferable human being to watch that. I almost couldn't look away because he was so brutal. Georgia is a very interesting human being as well, just like her life. And she's dating this guy that was like gonna fund her club and then they broke up. I don't even know. It's like a side of New York that I do not see. I'll give it. I mean, it's like a C minus. Like it's. I have it on. This is an ad by BetterHelp.

I'm still behind on that, but I love Miami, which is unfortunate for me that I've, I've fallen a little bit behind. But the behavior at the party for Marisol and, and and her husband was outrageous. Outrageous behavior all around. But I'll give episode three and four.
Chick
A.
Ria
Like a B minus. It's good. I'm interested I like watching it. And was there anything else on Bravo that I was catching up on? No, I think that's everything. Because really, I was watching a lot of Love island uk. That's it for me.
Chick
All right.
Noah
Okay. I got the Summer I Turned Pretty. Actually, a few more things about my trip with. I'm just kidding. I'll get that. A B plus and Billy Joel. I watched the second one. That was just, like, a full A minus for me. I thought. I've just been listening to Billy Joel the whole week now. And then last night, after I got home from my flight, I just wanted, like, a movie to put on in the background. And I had Final Destination Bloodlines. I'm not even, like, a Final Destination guy. Like, I might have seen one ever, but it was on Max, I think, but. Or hbo Max. Give it a C plus. It was, like, entertaining. I was surprised. I just looked it up. It had 93% choice on rotten Tomatoes.
Chick
Wow.
Noah
Which is high. But, yeah, that's all I watch. I didn't really watch much.
Chick
You were busy. I was busy checking things off that list. Yeah, we know it.
Ria
That was it.
Noah
Yeah. You know what I did?
Chick
Frank, he had a long weekend friend.
Ria
You know, but even all of last week, like, during the week.
Noah
Yeah. You know what I watched when I got home on Saturday night after the concert? I ordered McDonald's and I put on the TV in the hotel, which I, like, never do. I watched, like, the second half of Marry Me Again with Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wells.
Chick
I watched that on.
Noah
It's a good movie.
Chick
Yeah, I watched it on my honeymoon.
Ria
It's not good.
Chick
It was, like, one of the only movies on. In the. In Ibiza on the tv. So I honestly watched it, like, three times.
Noah
It's the most, like, Jennifer Lopez movie I've ever seen where it's like, yeah, she's like, I'm going to be a star. And, like, even at the high school dance or whatever that was at the end where she's like. She takes, like, stops. The dance is like, I'm going to sing for everyone. It's like, sure, go ahead. But good movie.
Chick
Oh, my gosh.
Ria
Oh, you know what I remembered? I. We finished season one of Breaking Bad. Oh, I'm crushing through. I really. I didn't realize there's only eight episodes. It, like, happened so fast. It was like all of a sudden, it ended really good. I mean, the lot. The finale of season one was really good.
Chick
I didn't realize it was that fast either. I always thought it was, like, 30 episodes.
Noah
Does it get more on the other side?
Ria
That's what. That's why I never watched it real. Literally. I was like, oh, my God, what an undertaking. Breaking badly goes. I'll never finish it. And then when I finally. When we finally pulled it up, I was like, wait, it's five seasons. The first one's eight episodes. And then, like, I think the most in any season is 13.
Chick
That's easy.
Ria
Yeah. Like, it's really not shit. Really. Not that crazy at all. But hell of an ending of the. Of the first season. I'll. I will give that a. It's a solid A minus for sure. I like, we just sky through the rest of the season.
Chick
Nice.
Ria
But yeah, I forgot I finished that. Damn, too.
Chick
I didn't realize that at all. I literally thought it was one of those shows, like 30 episodes.
Ria
Same. I thought it was on. I thought it was on for like, nine seasons and had like, 24 episodes each.
Chick
Yeah. Not even close. That's a pleasant surprise. That is.
Ria
Not even close.
Chick
Yeah. All right, well, that wraps up everything we watched this week. That wraps up today's episode of Chicks in the Office. Thank you so much for watching and listening. The best show on earth. We love you guys so very much. And we'll talk to you on Wednesday.
