Oh, that's such, such an awful feeling.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, I know, it is. It really is. But I kind of think I don't have.
Fran Mariano
If you do it Wednesday morning, then, then you can let it sit for the day and then by the time.
Ria Ciuffo
I got too much to do. I gotta go to Long Island. You know, I got things on Wednesday.
Fran Mariano
Oh, God.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. I got appointments.

Ria Ciuffo
I'm trying to really get my life organized right now, and I feel good about it.
Fran Mariano
That's great.
Ria Ciuffo
Just making some. Moving some things around the apartment actually used girls are at my apartment, literally, as we speak, going through. Helping me organize, professional organizers. Their company's called Heart and Company. And they're so cute. And literally, I think, like, when they leave, I may kiss them on the mouth. Like, my apartment's gonna be so beautiful.
Fran Mariano
So organized.
Ria Ciuffo
Organized. And that's just like, my biggest downfall. I got some. I took some things out, moving things around, exercise equipment, things that I'm like, let's move these things out. Like, taking up space in my living room. I'm very happy with what is gonna be the finished product. But, oh, my God, you really don't realize how much stuff you have until somebody literally empties your closet onto your floor and your bed and some of the living room because it was completely full.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
You just see it from my. I'm like, holy shit. So much stuff.
Fran Mariano
Right?
Ria Ciuffo
So it's been great going through everything, purging, donate other things, you know, moving some stuff to Long Island.
Fran Mariano
So it's good getting some things organized.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran Mariano
Nice.

Yep.
Fran Mariano
So double the hydration. I got some funky bachelorette nails going on.
Ria Ciuffo
Love.
Fran Mariano
I was gonna go with, like, a classic, like, something white or whatever, but I figured all my outfits, bathing suits are all white. Why not throw some white?
Ria Ciuffo
Have a little pop of color.
Fran Mariano
A little pop of color. Some pink, purple flair in there. They're so good.
Ria Ciuffo
Cat eye.
Fran Mariano
I did.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Because I said to my lady, I said, I want to do something different. She said, why don't we do the cat eye? I said, yeah, fucko, the cat eye did some. Did some gems, rhinestones on the ring fingers. And I'm fucking ready to go. Our boat that we're going on Friday is, like, pink. It's like a pink boat. Whatever. So I was like, ooh, a little pop of color there. Love it. I'm pumped up. I'm so excited. I'm just, like, skipping around Just, like, ready to go. I want it to be tomorrow already because my sister and I are going just a night early just to, like, make sure everything is set and ready to go before all the ladies arrive. But, you know, the group chat's going. Everybody's getting excited. Excited.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, yeah.
Fran Mariano
I just can't wait. I can't. I. I don't know which day I'm excited for most. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, you always think about, like, which. Which one. Which activity am I most excited?
Noah
Probably Saturday, so you can see me.
Fran Mariano
No, no, I'm excited for this. I talked about it on my Instagram story, but I didn't mention on here. Or maybe I did the Princess Diary.
Ria Ciuffo
Sleepover because we had the bouncy house coming.
Fran Mariano
Yes. Where we. I got a bouncy house coming. Princess Diaries theme sleepover Thursday night. Just, you know, some games, some good food, some wine. Who knows, maybe. Maybe we'll be doing flips on the bouncy house.
Ria Ciuffo
I'm excited because I don't have to worry. Yeah, I'm excited because I don't have to worry about packing an outfit for Thursday.
Fran Mariano
No, it's amazing because I got PJ Party. Yeah. I got satin pajamas for everybody, so we can all be in some nice pajamas and. Yeah, it's gonna be so much fun. I can't wait for everyone to get their little gift bags and everything. It's gonna be a freaking blast.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, I can't wait.
Fran Mariano
I'm so.
Ria Ciuffo
It's gonna be an absolute blast.
Fran Mariano
I cannot wait. I'm so, so, so excited. I got my. So I don't know if I talked about this, but I had an idea for a wedding band that, like, the idea kind of came in my head from seeing other rings, but not the exact thing I was looking for. And I told Matt about it, and I was like, what do you think about this for my wedding band? And he was like, I love it. Go. Let's go to the jeweler. Let's talk to them, see what they can do.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep.
Fran Mariano
And we went. I want to say around Thanksgiving. We went. Or yeah, maybe it was around Thanksgiving or Christmas. I forget when we went and we talked to them about the wedding ban and they were like, all right, we're going to make some mock ups and send them to you so you can, like, know what it's going to feel like, look like, because it is very different. And I've had, like, two different models sent to me that I still need to tweak. And then yesterday, the final model was sent to me, and I was in love with it. It's just perfect. It's like exactly what I envisioned, exactly what I love. And I was wearing it. Cause they wanted me to wear it around just to get comfortable with it. And I fucking love it. I am so, so, so obsessed. Like, it is.
Ria Ciuffo
That's so exciting.
Fran Mariano
It's so cool. It's. Oh, my God. I'm so excited about it. It's super cool.
Ria Ciuffo
I mean, I love it. I thought it was like. I've seen some of the initial phases of the design. I think it's really cool.
Noah
Right?
Fran Mariano
I've never. I've seen rings like it, but not exactly what I was doing or for a wedding band.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Like, I've never seen it for a wedding band.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
So I am super, super excited about that. And yeah, we're officially two months. It's February 25th, so officially two months. April 25th.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Coming around the corner.
Ria Ciuffo
Wow. Two months.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. Oh, my God.
Ria Ciuffo
Time flies.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, it does.
Ria Ciuffo
It really does.
Fran Mariano
Really does fly. Well, we actually didn't tell anybody, anybody this, but we're going on a couple's trip next week.
Ria Ciuffo
We are.
Fran Mariano
We. We haven't told our listeners yet, but the four of us. No, we didn't. We never mentioned it.
Ria Ciuffo
Well, we're going to Turks and Caicos. Yeah.
Fran Mariano
The four of us are going to Turks and Caicos next week, which has really flown under the radar because.
Ria Ciuffo
Yes. I mean, your bachelorette, obviously, this weekend, is the star, but we wanted to squeeze something in to do for you to do a little, like, a little trip before you get married, before you're not, like, you know, pre honeymoon. We also always. We do always like to take a little spring. Spring break. It's like a little spring break. And, you know, you're.
Fran Mariano
You're.
Ria Ciuffo
You're getting married. You have your honeymoon. You got all these great things planned. And like a month ago, we were like, what if we just. What if we just sneak away for like, one weekend? It's before March Madness. So it's before everything gets crazy with, like, Matt's schedule and basketball and everything. I'm like, come on, let's just. This is. This is the time. What if the four of us just.
Fran Mariano
Snuck on out of here? Turks and Caicos. So that's what we're doing next week.
Ria Ciuffo
Doing that. Yeah.
Fran Mariano
And I'm fucking pumped because Joe texted us in a group chat today.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
And he was like, the countdown is on. And I was like, I got so many countdowns going on. But the countdown is on for turkey cakes.
Ria Ciuffo
Honestly, I think that this is genius because after, like, not that we have to go crazy and of course you are tired after your bachelorette, but you come home from your bachelorette and you're kind of like, of course, you're like, you're like, oh, the wedding. You're excited to get married and all these things. And it's great. Like, it's close enough where it's only two months away from you getting married, but you're like, oh, man. Like, that was like, I want to keep. I want to keep doing something. I want to get away. Like, the sunshine was so nice. Like, whatever. And then it's like, oh, just go right back into a vacation.
Fran Mariano
We literally land from Arizona on Sunday and we're going to Turksy Caicos on Wednesday. So that'll be a blast. We have a fun little. The Friday boat trip.
Ria Ciuffo
No, it's gonna be.
Fran Mariano
Gonna be magical.
Ria Ciuffo
Magical.
Fran Mariano
It's gonna be something.
Ria Ciuffo
And it's a place that neither of us have gone to.
Fran Mariano
No.
Ria Ciuffo
And which is super exciting.
Fran Mariano
Yes.
Ria Ciuffo
So, like, none of us have been.
Fran Mariano
No. So all four of us haven't been.
Ria Ciuffo
It's gonna be a fun experience for all. Hopefully. My passport comes. It's supposed to come.
Fran Mariano
Yes.
Ria Ciuffo
That's another wrinkle, man. You know, I sent in for the passport renewal and I did the whole rush my passport thing because I obviously, like should have done it months ago, but we were still traveling and I kind of needed it still and whatever. I was like, I'll do it, I send it, I do the whole thing, you know, the application, the photo, blah, blah, blah, send it all in. Last week, and this was weeks ago, and last week I thought to myself, I haven't gotten any updates. Like I should like, let me search, look at my email, realize I got an email Friday at 4:00 of super bowl weekend where I was not looking at my phone, completely missed those emails. And it was like, hey, so we can't process this because there's a frickin paperclip indent on your photo, so beware of that. And I was like, oh, no panic. Got them on the phone, had to make it more of a rush thing. Went, went and got another photo, which honestly I was kind of happy about because the first time I did the photo, I just kind of rushed it. I was like, whatever, who cares? I wanted to get it done. I just went to Walgreens and I looked fine, but like, could have looked better. And I made. I realized that this mistake had happened. After we had taken some photos and we were at your apartment and they were so like my, you know, my hair was done, my makeup was done. I was like, oh well this picture is going to picture me way nicer.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, I don't picture.
Ria Ciuffo
And it was. So that new passport is supposed to come by the end of the week. So hopefully, hopefully it comes. Hopefully it'll show up when we're in Scottsdale. I can make sure Joe checks to make sure that it, that it comes.
Fran Mariano
But yeah, yeah, I'm super excited for that. So we got back to back fun weekends coming.
Ria Ciuffo
We do, we do.
Fran Mariano
And hopefully lots of, lots of fun and lots of stories to bring to the, to the podcast. I hate my, my fucking passport picture. I took it. I want to see in 2018 or 2019. I was sobbing my eyes out before I took the picture. I remember, I remember very clearly. I was crying a lot before I took the picture. So I hate the picture so much and I'm like, ah, but I don't want to go through the process of getting like, I don't hate it enough to get a new passport and get a new picture. But.
Ria Ciuffo
Cuz you're really not, let me tell.
Fran Mariano
You, I do not look cute in this picture.
Ria Ciuffo
You're not showing it to that many people that it really matters.
Fran Mariano
No, no, but you're just. I look at the passport and I'm like, I remember that I was crying my eyes out before I took that picture.
Ria Ciuffo
My dad took the funniest passport photo recently, had to get his passport renewed and he went to, I don't know where he went first. I don't know, maybe just like the pharmacy and they printed out the picture for him and he's bald. And the flash or the brightness, whatever they did on this photo, his head.
Fran Mariano
Just blended in with the background, into the background. Tough.
Ria Ciuffo
And it was like he took it to the passport control office and the woman in the office was like, sir, we can't accept this, we can't accept this. Like you're, you're. We can't see where the wall begins and your head starts.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, you're blending in.
Ria Ciuffo
Like we can't see the top of your head. Oh, very.
Fran Mariano
That is funny.
Ria Ciuffo
Thankfully that lady was very nice and let him redo the picture like in her office.
Fran Mariano
That's nice. Very considerate.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah. And my dad, like he said he, he left the pharmacy, he looked at the photo and he went back and was like, are you, are you sure that they're going to like accept this? And they were like, yeah, yeah. Past all the little markers that they do with the Walgreens.
Fran Mariano
They were just trying to get him out of there.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah.
Fran Mariano
No. Are you going to wear an animal print shirt Saturday night?
Noah
I don't own one, so, like, I'd have to go find. Where would I find one tomorrow? So no Zara.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, Zara maybe.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Probably walk any around any store in Soho. I actually have a trick going with knit.
Noah
Is there anything. Is there any other pattern that would work? Like, it doesn't have to be animal print. Like, what's another fun type of like. Like, I just. Animal print with me. I just. I don't know how I could do it. I just don't know if I could pull it off.
Fran Mariano
You can do anything you put your mind to. I have a trick going with Nick Mulcahy right now.
Noah
He still thinks.
Fran Mariano
No, I'm pretty sure he. So Nick McKay, he works here at Barstool, but he works in the business side of things and he will be going on Matt's bachelor party. And he. He texted the three of us about something for work and I responded back like, you ready for the party? Like, don't forget your animal print shirt for Saturday. And he was like, is that a thing I wrote? Yes, he wrote, love it. And then he texted, I think Tommy on the side or somebody being like, did you get your animal print shirt or something? And I was like, oh, my God.
Ria Ciuffo
Does Tommy think it's real? No.
Fran Mariano
Oh, but. But Noah was like, I actually think I'm going to wear one. So it's like.
Ria Ciuffo
Well, it doesn't sound like he is now.
Noah
Oh, no, I could.
Ria Ciuffo
Sounds like he doesn't think he can pull it off.
Noah
No, I could pull it off. I could pull it off in the.
Fran Mariano
Sense, like, you quickly change your tune.
Noah
I couldn't pull it off. Like, if I was going out to. Well, I mean, I guess who wears an animal print? Like, seriously, do people do that?
Fran Mariano
I have seriously worn animal print. I actually wore a cheetah print out set.
Noah
I could pull it off. If this is a joke. Like, we're all like, it's a bachelorette bachelor weekend.
Fran Mariano
Like, I mean, I have definitely seen some guys. Seriously.
Noah
No, no. Like that. That I like.
Fran Mariano
Glenn has definitely worn some animal print.
Noah
Shirts on him, though. It wouldn't be like, I wouldn't blink. Blink twice or look twice at him.
Ria Ciuffo
This one is a. Is green. A green leopard print.
Fran Mariano
I mean, not too shabby.
Noah
Yeah, yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Like, yeah, you could wear that.
Fran Mariano
No, he's gonna show up just like, a black T shirt. Yeah, he totally. Saturday. I'm super excited, though. I literally can't wait. Like, it's like Christmas, you know? Like, you.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
At night you're like, how do I sleep? I'm so excited.
Ria Ciuffo
So that was me last night.
Fran Mariano
I was like, how the frick do I go to sleep? I'm so excited.
Ria Ciuffo
Hell yeah.
Fran Mariano
I started thinking about all these things, which I'm sure you went through the motions of this before your wedding, and you start thinking about the day of your wedding, like, walking down the aisle, and you're like, what if I fall? Or what if? You know what I mean? Like, those things are creeping in your head.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
And that. It happened to me last night where I was like. I was, like, going to sleep, and then I was like, what if I fall?
Ria Ciuffo
You just can't even let it.
Fran Mariano
And then I'm like, you know, what if I fall? So be it.
Ria Ciuffo
And because honestly, what's the worst that.
Fran Mariano
Happens if you fall, you talk. It's embarrassing that you fell and then you move, and then it kind of. You think about it the whole night, and it haunts you fore.
Ria Ciuffo
The things that you. The things that happen, you would just never even think of. So it's like, why pre worry? Because it's just so out of your control. Like, I wasn't going to bed thinking, oh, my God, my veil might get so wet that it, like, it becomes heavy as I walk down the aisle and then yanks my head backwards. That was a real life problem. But, boy, did I not think of that beforehand.
Fran Mariano
Right?
Ria Ciuffo
So.
Fran Mariano
And because I saw that happen.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
I. Now I'm like, oh, my God, my veil is good, you know?
Ria Ciuffo
No, it won't be. It will not.
Fran Mariano
You never know, though. You never know.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
And it is what it is. If it does.
Ria Ciuffo
I also, like, literally put my veil in four seconds before walking down the aisle because I straight up forgot about my veil for, like, a. For the, like, whole beginning.
Fran Mariano
Right. A couple of us put the veil in your.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, I just, like, we were about to walk down the aisle, and I was like, oh, my God, I never put my veil in because I was.
Fran Mariano
Like, such a beautiful veil, too.
Ria Ciuffo
It really was. And I didn't. It was just the weather. Like, it's. Because I was like, oh, we'll bring it, but I'm not gonna walk around with it. Like, walk. Like, taking pictures with it would have been so hard because then, like, I'm saying, it was getting wet. It was a really long veil. Like, it's just it sadly just didn't have its moment because of how rainy it was. But that's my point is things will happen or pop up that like, don't even cross your mind. And you handle it in the moment and it's easy, it's taken care of, it's done, and then you forget about it. So it's like the pre worry is.
Fran Mariano
Not even falling to be the least of my worries.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. The pre worry is not. You're not going to fall.
Fran Mariano
It would be ridiculous.
Ria Ciuffo
You're not going to fall.
Fran Mariano
Going down the aisle would be ridiculous.
Ria Ciuffo
You're absolutely not. And I feel like that everyone's biggest fear. And it's like you don't. You're not, you're not going to fall.
Fran Mariano
Right. You enter the reception and you just fall.
Ria Ciuffo
Like, worst case, there's a teeny tiny little trip, right.
Fran Mariano
And you just pick yourself back up and you keep walking.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah. Yep. Well, you'll have somebody next to you.
Jessica
Right.
Ria Ciuffo
You're not going to just fall flat on your face.
Fran Mariano
That's true. That's a good point there. But I'm super excited. Cannot wait. We'll recap everything on Monday and. Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Let's get into the rest of the topics. Yes. We're on our way. Ladies and gentlemen. Let's get into the rest of the topics. It has been announced that Cynthia and Ariana are performing at the Oscars. Woohoo. Mike White told some of the cast of the White Lotus to watch Southern Charm to be inspired for their characters. Zoe Kravitz talked a little bit about Channing Tatum. And did Meghan Markle get dropped by the big agency wme?
Ria Ciuffo
Did she not?
Fran Mariano
We also have a great game of trivia because we do not have an episode on Friday and we have the popcorner. So let's get into the topics. If you weren't built for the cold. And I do not believe that I am. Abercrombie's kickoff to spring sale starts tomorrow. I'm actually wearing a full Abercrombie fit right now. Abercrombie shirt, Abercrombie jeans. I just went to Abercrombie at the mall the other day and I got all new Abercrombie clothes because I am ready for spring with Abercrombie.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande will be performing at the Oscars as well as other performers. Originally we thought that there was going to be no performances at the Oscars, which would have been the most boring wardrobe of all time that they could have like muster up to put on the TV screen to just be the Oscars with no performances whatsoever. You're going to go from I'm just Ken Lasher at the Oscars to no performances.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, nothing at all.
Fran Mariano
That would have been a huge miss. Everyone would have shut it off halfway through and we would moved on with our night. But now. But now.
Ria Ciuffo
Yes, but now. Now the performances are happening. If I like. It almost seems the producers wanted so badly to not have to have multiple Emilia Perez songs performed during the show that they said we're not going to have performances from the best original song category, which is how they normally do it. They were like, oh, no songs. And then the rumor of Cynthia and Ariana performing came out and then Cynthia tried to deny it and we were all like, are you just throwing us off now? She was throwing us off because they.
Fran Mariano
Are performing and that's why she's an actress.
Ria Ciuffo
Yes, the Hollywood. She didn't want to give anything away. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that they will be performing. In addition, Doja Cat, Lisa of Blackpink, Queen Latifah and Ray are all set to take part in quote show stopping performances celebrating the filmmaking community and some of its legends during the Oscar telecast. According to the Academy. The show will also feature a special appearance by the Los Angeles Master Chorale Choral Chorus. Sounds like perhaps a chorus of people. While it's not yet known which song or songs Grande and Eriva will perform, options include, of course, popular Defying Gravity. What is this feeling?
Fran Mariano
Right. Those are the songs they sing.
Ria Ciuffo
Could be some medley. A medley of sorts, which would be fantastic.
Fran Mariano
What is this Feeling?
Ria Ciuffo
So sad and new. And the word is they will be kick. They will be starting the show. They will be opening the show.
Fran Mariano
And that's one way to kick off a show. Thank you Oscars for doing that because it was looking like a snooze fest with no performances. I will say this is a perfect way to announce performances without having.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Amelia Press songs involved. So I'm looking forward to it. I mean, if the whole thing could just be Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande performing, that would be preferred. Although that's not an option. That would just be wicked. We would just have to watch Wicked.
Ria Ciuffo
I didn't even think about this, though. But it must be so true. Like, the people that are actually nominated for best original song was feel like, what the fuck? Like Ellen John must be like, damn, you really don't want me to perform that. That like, that much. You're going to. They know all these other performances.
Fran Mariano
How bad we are yearning.
Ria Ciuffo
It's Amelia Perez. It's that. It's Amelia Perez.
Fran Mariano
Right.
Ria Ciuffo
They don't need to. The problem is they nominated to Amelia Perez songs. So you don't need two Amelia Perez performances.
Fran Mariano
Well, clearly they do because it's clearly the best movie they've seen in years.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
The critics think that Amelia Perez is the. The cream of the crop.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
The best movie they've ever seen.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep.
Fran Mariano
By.
Ria Ciuffo
By the award show, thankfully. Oh, gosh. So thankfully, we're. They're. They went with a more popular choice.
Fran Mariano
And they are Defying Gravity and the.
Ria Ciuffo
Feeling will be amazing watching them perform.
Fran Mariano
So sudden and new.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep. It's gonna be amazing.
Fran Mariano
Not as good.
Ria Ciuffo
And the other performances all sound like they could be very interesting as well. No.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. I will say they knew what the heart wanted and the heart wants what it wants. And it wanted Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande to perform at the Oscars, and we are now getting that. And I couldn't be more thankful for that because it's something to look forward to this Sunday night. I'm super excited about that. That'll be nice.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
We'll get home, land from the flight.
Ria Ciuffo
Cozy up on the couch.
Fran Mariano
Dead.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
But I'm just thinking about, like, dead Sunday aftermath.
Ria Ciuffo
Are we on the same flight on Sunday?
Fran Mariano
No, I'm flying into Newark.
Noah
Same.
Fran Mariano
I know. Are you. What time?
Noah
I'm landing at, like, please don't be on my flight.
Fran Mariano
Please don't be on my flight.
Noah
What time are you landing?
Fran Mariano
Like 6. 6:00.
Noah
I'm landing at like, 4:30.
Fran Mariano
Oh, really? What time?
Noah
I switched my flight. But no.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, we can talk about this offline. We could talk about this off.
Ria Ciuffo
No, I had to actually offline. Text me. I heard about moving his flight earlier. He was worried that he wasn't. He was worried about how big his Saturday night was gonna be, that he wouldn't be able to make like, a 10:00am flight. I was like, you can make a 10:00am flight.
Fran Mariano
I heard your original flight was 6:00am no.
Noah
No. I asked Marty, in what world would that be realistic? He was like, no.
Fran Mariano
Can I just say that two of my friends are on a 6am flight on Sunday. And I told them that's the most insane thing ever. And they said that they're just gonna.
Noah
Go, like, stay up.
Fran Mariano
They're gonna stay up and just go straight to the airport. And I was like, best of luck to you. Seriously, that sounds like the worst idea.
Noah
But I needed someone to tell me that.
Fran Mariano
My friend. Yeah. And my friend Jesse was like, going to jfk. But the moment. She was like, the moment that I get home, though, and I have that full Sunday.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
And I said, I guess.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran Mariano
You will not catch me on a 6am flight, though.
Noah
No, on a flight is like my biggest fear. So, like, I don't want to be having to possibly throw up on an airplane.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, you might. At 10am Might not be, you know.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Who knows?
Ria Ciuffo
Who knows what's happening? You're a big boy. You'll survive.
Fran Mariano
You will. You'll make it. Who knows what's to happen?
Ria Ciuffo
You're an adult.
Fran Mariano
How did we end up there?
Ria Ciuffo
I know we did. We were talking about coming home. Coming home, coming home and just immediately putting on the Oscars.
Fran Mariano
It's going to be amazing. And then, oh, my gosh. Coming into work on Monday is going to be a real.
Ria Ciuffo
Already thinking about the food order that I'll be getting for the Oscars.
Fran Mariano
Chinese food.
Ria Ciuffo
Probably gonna be amazing. Can't wait.
Fran Mariano
Okay. Anyways, moving on. This was really funny and interesting. Mike White, the creator of the White Lotus, told the cast to watch Southern Charm because the family in the White. In the White Lotus, Jason Isaacs and Parker Posey. Yeah, Parker Posey and the family dynamic. They're from South Carolina or North Carolina, one of the Carolinas. And he told them to watch Southern Charm, to kind of emulate how they.
Ria Ciuffo
Should act, which is so funny. So the youngest. The youngest brother actor had was, in an interview, said he was like, oh, my kid said, as a suggestion, watch Southern Charm for. You know, for some inspiration. And you can clearly see it. Like, even just the way. Even just the way Jason Isaacs talks is very Thomas Ravenel like that. I. I'm assuming he suggested some of the early seasons, which would be the way to go, because then you have the Thomas stuff. And then I feel like Parker Posey has a little Ms. Pat, especially with, like, the way she talks to her eldest son and the way that Ms. Pat and Whitney are weird.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
You know, for sure. And I was like, this so checks out. I love it. I think that's so funny. And I know it's so funny, too, because it's like the Southern Charm. Like, I see Austin posting about the White Lotus all the time, and he must just be like, oh, my God, right?
Fran Mariano
Like, are you happy? Or are you like, oh, no.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
And Mike White's a big reality TV fan, so the best thing was Mike White when he was on Survivor, and it was like, holy shit, the creator of School of Rock.
Ria Ciuffo
And then I know when he made.
Fran Mariano
The White Lotus, you were like, wait, Mike White from Survivor? Like, there's so many different avenues he's been a part of.
Ria Ciuffo
I want to see if it's gone. So I said this to Joe, and I told you guys this, but I didn't say it on the pod for sake of embarrassment for him in his theory. But now other people are saying.
Fran Mariano
Let me tell you, it's flooding.
Ria Ciuffo
Now other people are saying it. And Joe's like, if I don't. If you don't give me credit, if that's what really happens. So, quite literally, as we sat down to watch the first episode of White Lotus and the opening scene, and Joe's like, it's the Monkeys. I bet you it's the Monkeys. I was like, what are you talking about? I'm like, the mu. He's like, I bet you it's the Monkeys. The Monkeys get guns. Like, he had had a couple drinks. So I was like. I was like, what? Joe? Like, no. Like, stop. Now people are talking about the Monkeys. And Austin posted on his story. He reposted a Saint hoax post that was like a tweet that said, guys, my crazy White Lotus theory is a monkey Gets a hold of a gun and just starts shooting. And Austin reposted it and said, my theory is gaining traction. And I sent it to Joe. And Joe was like, I swear to God, if you don't give me credit for this theory and. And it goes to Austin, like, I'll be pissed.
Fran Mariano
Listen, we will give Joe the full credit, because I remember you coming in on Monday and saying, you said it to us.
Ria Ciuffo
I said. I said. I didn't say it on the podcast, but I did say it to you.
Fran Mariano
You did. And I meant to actually send you yesterday. I was looking at a TikTok, and all the comments were, it's the Monkeys. It's the Monkeys. And I was like, oh, my God, I have to send this to Fran and Jo. I totally forgot, but 100%. The Monday after the premiere, you were dying laughing, and you were like, Joe was a little drunk when we started watching the White Lotus. And he just kept being like, it's the Monkeys. And I was like, joe, it's not the Monkeys. And now I'm like, is it the fucking Monkeys?
Ria Ciuffo
The monkeys got guns. And just like, the way he was saying, I don't know how it ends.
Fran Mariano
Up there, because Amy Lou would, right? That's. She talked about how she received the script to the White Lotus in her email in her Gmail, and she was like, I thought this was insane. She was like, I had all the script in my Gmail. I thought it would have been more locked, but I just had the entire thing. And she was like, I'm a huge White Lotus fan, so I was very nervous to read the script to see what happens. And she was like, I think it exceeds the other two seasons, so. But if that's what happens, it just can't be the Monkeys. It can't be the Monkeys. If, in the end, it's the monkeys, get guns and start shooting people. Like, I don't know if I'm going.
Ria Ciuffo
To be like, wow, what an amazing season. It cannot be like Planet of the Apes. Like, yeah, it just seems like that.
Fran Mariano
Would take a wild turn.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, it really would.
Fran Mariano
I don't know where the show is going right now at all. No, I couldn't even give you a guess on where it's going.
Ria Ciuffo
And I do love the Southern charm inspo, though. And Mike White is just such a funky guy that I just love that. Like, he's so. I feel like he's just in tune with Bravo that he just knew. And that is a smart, creative mind, because you're getting inspiration from everything. And to just click close the door on reality tv. Like, some people feel snooty about reality tv, I think is silly because you're probably about to have some fantastic performances from these actors playing this family. And a lot of that inspo is. Is. So I saw Shepard posted to and was like, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Yeah, right.
Fran Mariano
And the inspo is Southern Charm. Yeah, that.
Ria Ciuffo
Especially with the way that that plot line is going.
Fran Mariano
Right.
Ria Ciuffo
Such with the family of, like, what's going on with the kids?
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Parents. And it's. It's weird, but did you watch last week's episode of Southern Charm?
Fran Mariano
No, that's not the one I watched.
Ria Ciuffo
No, I think you watched.
Fran Mariano
I'm one behind. You're on behind. Behind.
Ria Ciuffo
Rhea. Oh, my God. You have to, like, JB was watching with me, my brother. We were like, belly laughing because Shep sends a text message to Sienna.
Fran Mariano
I saw the text message get posted online.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, my God. It is. It is one of the funniest. And he's reading it out loud to Austin.
Fran Mariano
Austin.
Ria Ciuffo
And Austin's laying in bed, and his reactions are so funny. And the music, like, the editing of it is so funny. And then they go downstairs, he reads it again for Craig, and Austin's coming down the stairs. He's like, oh, my God, you're reading it again. It's just like. It's so.
Fran Mariano
Like, I have to watch that.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, my God.
Fran Mariano
I gotta catch up. I did read.
Ria Ciuffo
Perfect little freckled lips.
Fran Mariano
I read the text message online, and.
Ria Ciuffo
I thought it was.
Fran Mariano
It's really interesting that Shep just tells her how she feels, you know?
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, of course.
Fran Mariano
Like, she doesn't say. It's just Shep being like, I know.
Ria Ciuffo
You feel well, because it's clear as day she doesn't like him. It's, like, so uncomfortable. It's so uncomfortable. Like, Sienna's had to put out, like, she made all these tiktoks, like, talking about it. And, like, Shep posted on his story, like, oh, like, be nice to Sienna online. Whatever. I don't know what happened pre filming that Shep thought Sienna was, like, deeply, deeply in love with him and they were gonna live happily ever after, but, boy, was that not the case. And I don't know if she just, like, enjoyed maybe popping on TV for a second or, like, what the deal was. She also says that wasn't true. And, you know, she mentions her grandma was, like, a big fan of Southern charm, but she never watched her social. She didn't know. And she was like, on TikTok, she was like, do you watch all the shows your grandma watches? Like, just because my grandma watches doesn't mean that I watch it. But gosh, it is. It's been a tough, tough few episodes for Shep. I will say on that front.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, I gotta catch up.
Ria Ciuffo
They're really just, they're in the Bahamas. And my God, that girl does is doing everything in her power to not spend time with him.
Fran Mariano
Right. The first episode I did see of that trip was like, oh, and it's.
Ria Ciuffo
So like we were dying because Craig's like, it's so. I've never felt an energy like this before from somebody. Like, she. And you, like, brought up that she came up to the room, like before they went down to dinner and it was so awkward and he didn't know what to do and he just left. He goes. He was like, are you saying for dinner? And she was like, yeah. He's like, oh, I'm going to go down and make sure everything's cool with the restaurant.
Fran Mariano
Just like leaves so awkward, so uncomfortable. I can't wait to watch this episode. I have to catch up on that there.
Ria Ciuffo
It's a whole different experience because I saw, I read the text message too. I saw it over the weekend before. I had watched the episode, watching him read it out loud multiple times and him thinking like, it's like a beautiful text message that he sent. He looks heartfelt, like, poured his heart out. And it's just the, oh, God, the cringiest text.
Fran Mariano
Oh, God, crawling out of my skin.

Fran Mariano
Moving along. Zoe Kravitz talked a little bit about Channing Tatum four months post split. Yeah, we know that they split up. And she had really nothing but nice things to say about Channing.
Ria Ciuffo
So nice.
Fran Mariano
And it seems as though they just kind of grew apart and the relationship, they both weren't meant to be in it anymore, but she really had nothing but nice things to say about Channing. Him as a person and his work and him as an actor.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, because she was asked. She's on the COVID It's the COVID story for Elle for March. And she was asked, like, about her breakup from him, if it had changed how she feels about Blink Twice. And she was like, oh, not, like, not at all. I love this thing that we made together, and I care for him very much. She said that it warms her heart hearing moviegoers praise his performance. I'm so happy that all that happened. I just feel so grateful that we got to go on that journey together. He's such a catch, personally, professionally, he has so much more coming. I think he's in a place as an actor where he's feeling really confident. People are seeing different sides of him. He's got a lot to offer, so I'm excited for people to keep witnessing that. And yeah, it was just like, once again, really nice things to say. And that is what happened. When they broke up. The. The reports were that there was no bad blood. They decided it was best for them to separate. And I thought that was very nice. Like, the way she praised him as an actor and, like, working with him, which is also a really professional way to do it because it, by the way, like, it's her movie that she directed. Like, of course she's gonna be proud of it.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, of course. I don't think. I think that was a really good answer because. And also, you know, they kind of have to ask that. But a crazy thing to ask because it's like, she made that movie. Like, she directed the whole thing. Like, I would assume she's proud of it. And Channing Tatum did such a good job in that movie. Like, in a way that we haven't seen Channing Tatum before. So I'm glad that they could see still speak nicely about each other. They could both be dating new people at this point. I think he's been filming a movie in New York City. I think he might have been spotted with someone as well. We saw the picture of Zoe Kravitz probably just friends with Nose and Teneo walking down the street. We've discussed that. But it's nice that they could still talk nicely about each other. Now, can WME still talk nicely about Meghan Markle? It seems like there's little conflicting reports here. It was reported that WME dropped Meghan Markle, but now it seems like maybe just like the head agents at WME drop Meghan Markle, but she's still continuing to work there with other agents as well. Maybe just the head honcho doesn't want to work with her anymore. Very confusing. And it's, it's honestly at this point shocking that Meghan Markle just can't get one good press. Like she can't get one good article. Meghan Markle can't get a single good article get one.
Ria Ciuffo
And obviously like negativity sells more. So it's, they're going to write the articles of, oh, she was difficult to work with and blah, blah, blah. And like the one person that, that says I had a lovely experience with her, that's not going to be, they're not going to put that right. Like that's not going to make headline news. But Page Six wrote an article headline Hollywood buzzing that talent agent talent agency WME dropped Meghan Markle. Meghan Markle has been dropped by wme, multiple sources tell Page Six after months of speculation about her relationship with the top Hollywood agency. But the agency denies it has given the star the royal flush and says it's still working with her. We're told that the Duchess of Sussex has not held any meetings with the agency's uber power broker Ari Emanuel since January of last year. Though she is believed to have met with her day to day agents. So like you said, it's like, oh, the people she's working with on a day to day, they'll see her. It's so funny that your brain just immediately goes to Entourage. Like I know it's like the whole Ari Emanuel, like it's based on it. Like I get, I know that as well.
Noah
Great storyline in the show. Like he has to deal with Meghan.
Fran Mariano
Markle, but I just like you just.
Ria Ciuffo
See that being a thing where it's like, they're, they have a. Their star client, and he's just like, I don't want to work with her anymore. And he's just calling. What's his face? To, like, be like, oh, you go, andrew Klein. Yeah. So you go, what's his name?
Noah
Like, he was the guy he hated. I don't know.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, that's what she said. That's who she.
Fran Mariano
Adam Davies.
Ria Ciuffo
Adam Davies.
Noah
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah. An industry insider said Markle was let go because she was, quote, too demanding and difficult to work with. The. It is unclear exactly when she was dropped, though WME insists it's still working with her. WME continues to represent Megan N. Archwell, said a rep. Indeed, sources said the agency is still working on some of her projects for Archewell, the foundation she runs with her husband, Prince Harry. In addition to this, we hear that Markle had an outburst in January 2024, right after the holidays, when the Duchess demanded a meeting, quote, and expected decks and plans. Though it's unclear if this was for herself or Archewell. This led to a dispute and Ari was done with her, says the insider. The incident was confirmed by another source. The news comes as the mom of two prepares to launch her new Netflix lifestyle show, With Love Meghan, next Tuesday.
Fran Mariano
It's just kind of shocking that there's just a. Never a good article about her. Never. Oh, wow. Meghan Markle's a delight. She's wonderful to work with.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
It's always. Meghan Markle is really hard to work with. Meghan Markle can't find a CEO to work for her because she's so hard to work with. Like, it's always never a good thing about.
Ria Ciuffo
Seriously, it really. And now it really makes you wonder.
Fran Mariano
It really makes you wonder, how is Meghan Markle actually right?
Ria Ciuffo
And it's like, what projects are they working with? Are they working. Working on. Not working on personal stuff? Is it more like the foundation stuff? But really can't seem to catch a break when it comes to these stories about her being tough to work with? And sometimes, like, I get, like, sometimes it's conflicting to me because I'm, I'm, I read it. And then I also think, is she just so clear about what she wants and how she wants it done? And she's specific way that she wants things done and she has a vision and she wants it executed the way that she wants it, and they're like, oh, she's a bitch. You know, because that happens too, right?
Fran Mariano
You're. You're so right. I Mean, Because a lot of times, if a guy were to exclaim or explain. Why am I saying exclaim? If he want. If he explained the way he wanted things or the way he wanted it done.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
It would just be like, okay, he wants it done that way. But when a woman says that she wants something done a certain way, it's like, oh, she's. She's so hard to deal with. She's hard to work for. Like, she's bitchy. It's like, well, no, maybe she just knows what she wants. And if you screw up, she's going to be like, hey, you screwed up. I want it this way.
Ria Ciuffo
And she, like, expects something. You're working with wme. You're working with one of the top agencies, the top agents. You go in maybe very hopeful at the beginning of a new year for plans and ideas laid out, and then they, like, kind of disappoint you and you're pissed. And maybe, who knows, right?
Fran Mariano
Because I'd be curious to know if he worked with, like, a male actor, if he would say, oh, that guy's hard to work with, you know, or that because the. The male actor's pushing that he wants certain. Certain roles. Oh, he's so hard to work with. Right. Yeah. It does seem like that title might get thrown out a little bit more for. For women who just know what they want.
Ria Ciuffo
It absolutely does. And especially, like, women in power and business, and they're like, no, we're going to do it this way. And this is. I'm right.
Fran Mariano
This is the way I want.
Ria Ciuffo
And. And for Megan's projects, a lot of. It's like her foundation, her shows, her voice, whatever. It's like her lifestyle brand. She is the face of it.
Fran Mariano
Mm.
Ria Ciuffo
So it's like, if I'm the face of my own brand, like, I'm pushing for creative control. I want control of what I'm doing. I want control of the press I'm doing. I want control of everything.
Fran Mariano
Right.
Ria Ciuffo
And then they're. They're like, oh, she wants control of everything.
Fran Mariano
Right, Exactly. It's like, well, she should want control of everything, and if she wants something done a certain way, then it should be done that way if it's her brand.
Ria Ciuffo
I know. So it's crazy because it really is, because it just doesn't really seem like she can catch a break in the press when it comes to this. So it's like. And it's also like Page Six is doubling down that she isn't working with them. But WME is like, no, we are working with her. So I don't know what those inter. Inter company meetings are like at wme. They might, but they must be like who's draw straws for who's calling Megan today, you know?
Fran Mariano
Yeah, it seems. It kind of seems that way.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, man, it does seem. Yeah, it does. It does.
Fran Mariano
Oh, gosh. Megan just can't.
Ria Ciuffo
Well, I'm excited for the show. I'm not gonna lie. I'll be watching it.
Fran Mariano
If only she had a little Meg Marco Sparkle in her life. Only had a little Marvel Sparkle.
Ria Ciuffo
Marco Sparkle.
Fran Mariano
Just think about it.
Ria Ciuffo
Just think about it.
Fran Mariano
Ari calls her up.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, what about maybe WME pitched Marco Sparkle and I really set her up.
Fran Mariano
And she just had enough. You know, we were listening to this podcast. We heard Mark Sparkle. Yeah, that was enough for her.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, exactly.
Fran Mariano

Mackenzie
Hey, Maria, Fran And Noah, it's MacKenzie from Pittsburgh. I've been seeing this all over my Tick Tock where apparently Danielle broke her NDA on the and told Britney that she was a traitor. I guess Carolyn confirmed it on like a podcast or patreon or something a while back and then deleted it. But now it's starting to, like, resurface again. And I honestly want to know if you guys believe it. I 100 believe it because she's acted like a nutcase from day one and the shaking just, like, sent me over the edge. So anything to get me more against Daniel. I'm here for. But I just wanted to know your opinion. Love you guys.
Fran Mariano
Love you too. I have seen this theory around on Tick Tock. I have to say, I'm not totally sold.
Ria Ciuffo
I. Shockingly, yeah, I agree with you on that because I think that if that did happen, it would just be so much more of a bigger deal. I think so. And like, Carolyn, I don't. Who knows what Carol, like, Carolyn, I think, has been really pissed and Carolyn and Danielle, like, don't fuck with each other for sure. So. And there we also are going off somebody just like saying that Carolyn said it. Like, there's. Nobody has. Nobody has the clip. Nobody has what. What she actually said. So that makes it a little iffy. All right. Like, it's like, oh, Carolyn said it on her patreon. But then now it's deleted. It's like, okay, but did anyone actually hear what she said? Or are we just saying Carolyn said it?
Fran Mariano
Right. And if it was deleted, why was it deleted? There's so many questions. And I have to say, reality shows really, really monitor their cast really well. So, like, if they're not filming.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
I find it hard to believe that Danielle would be able to tell Britney.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
That. That she was a traitor.
Noah
Phones on traders, they get it once.
Fran Mariano
Every six days for 30 minutes.
Noah
Okay.
Fran Mariano
So unless she. But I, I don't think you would leave a trace like that. Like, why would you text her that?
Ria Ciuffo
No, I mean, if anything, she's like, like shoves a handwritten note under her. But even tell door to be like. Or burn upon receiving even a whisper.
Fran Mariano
Though I feel like you would Catch like they're always mic'd up. Or even if they're in makeup or in passing. Like, I just feel like.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Be way too dangerous to.
Ria Ciuffo
I mean, unless it's literally the middle of the night. I mean, right.
Fran Mariano
Unless they're sneaking. But I think they have people watch. Like they. I think they watch their hotel rooms to see if anyone's sneaking out. They probably put stuff on their door. You know, I. I think this shit is locked down. I would have to assume so. I'm actually not totally sold on that theory.
Ria Ciuffo
I think that's fair.
Fran Mariano
I think people are looking for more reasons to hate Danielle because they really just don't like her.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
When you could just not like her for the things she's done on the show rather than try and find, you know, another reason that's not. Has not been confirmed.
Noah
Yeah.
Mackenzie
Hi, Rhiannon, Fran and Noah. I want to know your opinion on the barrel jean. I am an older millennial, but I feel like this is probably the ugliest pant I've ever seen. Also like to know how Noah thinks about them. Just a guide for perspective. So can't wait to hear your opinions.
Fran Mariano
Thanks.
Mackenzie
Bye.
Ria Ciuffo
I hate a barrel jean. I think it's just maybe the most unflattering pant there could possibly be. I don't think. You know, and here's the thing. People can wear them, they can pull them off. Really, really skinny people can wear them, you know, like. Okay, cool. Like, congrats on wearing a barrel jean.
Fran Mariano
Tall supermodels.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, like, exactly. If you are really tall supermodels. Because it's like they make you look wider, they make you look shorter.
Fran Mariano
Right.
Ria Ciuffo
They make you. Honestly, it's funny enough, I actually would.
Fran Mariano
Be an absolute disaster on me.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. I. I don't. There's. It's just not cute. And I actually saw tile Cameron Post Tate was wearing a pair of barrel jeans this morning. She just got them. And he was like, you look bow legged. I'm like, yeah, you do. Like, you look like you're. It gives your legs a weird shape.
Fran Mariano
While we're on the topic of Jean. I do sorry to everybody that loves their barrel jeans, but whatever you're comfortable in. But I just want to say that while we're on this topic, remember when I went on a whole rant about skinny jeans and how I still wear skinny jeans? Skinny jeans are in da da da da da da. And then Alex Earl does this campaign about skinny jeans and now everybody's like, wait, I love skinny jeans. Skinny jeans are so in. Like, oh, I just bought a new pair of skinny jeans, and I'm wearing my skinny jeans. Like, I have been saying that the skinny jeans were in, but nobody wants to listen to me. You know what I mean? Nobody wants to just be themselves. And, like, if you loved skinny jeans before, but you thought they were out, just wear the fucking skinny jeans. That was the message I was trying to send, was that if you like something, just wear it. It doesn't matter if it's in or out. But now that Alex Earl's wearing them, they're considered in. So now people are like, ooh, I get to wear my skinny jeans again. You could have wore your skinny jeans months ago before she put them on, and you would have been ahead of the curve. You would have been ahead of Alix Earl. I'm just saying that I was wearing the skinny jeans because I liked them before.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. I mean, a skinny jean with a certain outfit always works.
Fran Mariano
Skinny jean boot.
Noah
When do you think skinny jeans went out of style?
Fran Mariano
I would say probably around 2016.
Ria Ciuffo
2017. 2017.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
They started inching. I would say more like 2018, 2019 was, like, really the peak of, like, skinny jeans are out. Skinny jeans are out. Baggier and baggier. But it's really whatever jean you're comfortable in. And what you.
Ria Ciuffo
I just did this. I just did this cleaning on my closet because I was like, I have pants that I've kept for so long of just, like, the black, and it's literally the one. The jean that she made, like, the black, shiny, you know, one. I was like, I've had. These are sevens I've had forever, and I'm glad I kept them. And I do wear. You know, you wear it tucked into a boot. They look great.
Fran Mariano
It's a classic. I've been saying. Just remember, Rhea said it before, Alex.
Ria Ciuffo
Barrel jeans are very trendy right now. I don't see that trends sticking. It's not a classic look to me. It's very trendy right now. I don't think, like, in three years, you're gonna be wearing your barrel jeans still.
Noah
I did have to look it up because I didn't know what that meant. Yeah, I would agree with you. Like, I kind of think it's case by case. Like, I've seen it on people that I'm like, that looks good. But then, yeah, it could also look terrible on people.
Fran Mariano
Right.
Noah
If I wore skinny jeans, you'd have to, like, cover your eyes.
Ria Ciuffo
I just don't know why, you know, you're wearing.
Noah
But some people might pull it off.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, some people pull it off.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, you're right. Yeah.
Fran Mariano
It really depends.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Mackenzie
Hi, guys. Really big fan. I wanted your opinion on this because I feel AS if Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt are kind of the two biggest actors, I guess, right now and in the past 20 years. And I have this theory that Timothy Chalamet is the new Leonardo and Austin Butler is the new Brad Pitt. So I want to know your opinion on it and if you have anyone else that you think would fit. But. Yeah, I love you guys. You guys seriously are my favorite part of the week when I get to listen to you guys on my car ride, so. Yeah. Thanks.
Ria Ciuffo
I really like those comparisons, to be honest.
Fran Mariano
I don't. Because I don't think Timothee Chalamet is the same as Leonardo DiCaprio.
Noah
In what way?
Fran Mariano
I don't know how to word this. Acting wise or whole Persona. Like, I think totally different looks, totally different vibes. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I just.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, but I actually see they don't.
Fran Mariano
Give the same vibe to me whatsoever.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. But I see it more in a career. Like, I think it's more like career trajectory, like of the kind of movies that he wants to make and that.
Fran Mariano
Well, Leonardo DiCaprio, you know, he wasn't dancing around like in Willy Wonka. You know what I mean? Like, that's. Yeah.
Noah
I feel like she's kind of saying, like, I don't know, like, his passion for the art of it.
Ria Ciuffo
Right.
Fran Mariano
And I think that could be multiple actors. But like, Leonardo DiCaprio didn't do any musicals.
Noah
Yeah. And he wasn't posting videos like dancing to songs on like, on the roof of buildings.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
But I feel like that's just different. Different Persona.
Fran Mariano
I think.
Ria Ciuffo
I think that Personas different effects of social media and like what. You know.
Noah
But who would you say then? Like, right now is the closest thing to that.
Fran Mariano
They're so hard to compare, I feel like.
Noah
You mean just in general, like, comparing.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, just.
Ria Ciuffo
I mean, I. I would pick Timothy Jamaica. Like, I think, like, it's to me that I think. Yeah.
Noah
I'm trying to think of other like, young actors. Like what Tom.
Ria Ciuffo
And I honestly think it go. Really. No, like, I don't.
Noah
Because he's super.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Like he did a superhero thing. Like, I think it's more. And whatever. He's done series, he's done sci fi, like the. Like Dune and everything. But I just. I don't know, maybe it's Just the recency bias of like his speech at the SAG Awards to have like his pursuit of greatness and everything. And I feel like Leo had that same mindset.
Noah
Yeah. You know, I like the Timothy Leo one. I don't know about the Austin Brad Pitt, but I don't know who else.
Ria Ciuffo
Would be like Austin. Austin Butler and Brad Pitt. I feel like maybe give off more vibes of like, as a person and less their careers.
Noah
Boys and are tall.
Ria Ciuffo
Although Brad Pitt, like, not a great guy. And Austin Butler seems lovely. So that's, you know. But I guess if you were to.
Noah
Also there are other like, wait, younger actors. I feel like there aren't that many like that are on that level. It's like Tom Holland, Timothy Austin.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. I guess if you're just thinking about younger actors that would be on the same level as like people like Leonardo DiCaprio kind of like.
Noah
I feel like no, but I'm just.
Ria Ciuffo
This like up and cut. Like Calum Turner, like, they're just like, up. You know, these are the guys that are gonna be getting their roles. They're just like, not in everything.
Noah
It's, you know, Michael B. Jordan.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. I feel like Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller have been around way longer than we even give them credit for.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Noah
They're still like, they're in the middle of those two generations.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. I mean, they're in their 30s, like.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Right. They just. I just feel like they've been around for so.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Long. Glenn Powell. Glenn Powell, but he's more like comedy.
Noah
More like Tom Cruise, I would say. And like those huge movies.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. It is an interesting question.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, I. I don't. I don't mind those comparisons. I do. I do understand that a little bit. I don't really think we're gonna like the way social medias and this day and age and the way young actors are like, they're just in the scene more and doing more things. I'm just like, I don't know you. Are you gonna get somebody like Leo again?
Fran Mariano
Right.
Ria Ciuffo
That kind of.
Fran Mariano
It's just different generations out of it.
Ria Ciuffo
And just like makes movies and like isn't in the spotlight unless he's dating a new 23 year old.
Noah
But I kind of do see that, like Timothy Chalmer is not like really that online. He'll post like a post, but he's not like, no. So he kind of is just like he does his movies. That's it. He said he didn't like go on his phone the entire time he filmed that Bob Dylan movie. Like, I don't know. And like him and maybe because him and Leonardo DiCaprio are like pals.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, Seems right. It's like he's, like, giving his wisdom to Timothy.
Noah
He didn't shout him out in that speech, though. He wasn't one of the no people. He's inspired.
Ria Ciuffo
No, no. But, yeah, I think that's. I'm sure Timothy would love that comparison. That's why it's definitely what he's going. Yeah, it's definitely what he's going for. So.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
All right.
Fran Mariano
That wraps up the popcorner. Don't forget to call in. Call in with whatever you want to talk about. And we will talk to you next Wednesday on the voicemails. But we'll be back on Monday for a new episode. I am so excited to have some Rum Haven cocktails this weekend in Arizona. I love Rumhaven because it is made with real coconut water and it gives that refreshing taste with no artificial flavors or preservatives for a clean and refreshing taste. And it's the only thing we love as much as you guys is those delicious cocktails in nice warm weather. And no one serves it up like Rumhaven does with those real delicious drinks from Rumhaven. And you can't beat the taste of real coconut water. Like I mentioned, it's so fresh, it's delicious, it's clean. Oh, it's gonna taste so good. You can mix it with club soda, some juice. You can drink it straight on ice, however you like it. We had our little fall cocktail when we were on the tour during the fall and those were just to die for. We cannot wait to drink more Rumhaven with you coming up in the future. We have some announcements that you'll hear about soon and we'll be drinking Rumhaven with you all season long.

If you get it wrong, the other team can steal the point. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. To determine who goes first, Noah's gonna give us a movie. We're gonna guess the Rotten Tomatoes critic score of that movie. Whoever is closest, your team will go first, and we will alternate between teams. Everyone gets their own individual guess. No. What is today's movie?
Noah

If fate didn't want us to be together, then why did we meet tonight, huh?
Ria Ciuffo
Gotcha. Well, I don't know, but it's not an exact science. It's a female.
Unknown
But what if you're wrong, huh? What if it's all in our hands and we just walk away? No names, no phone numbers, nothing. What do you think's gonna happen? Do you think good old fate is just gonna deliver my information right to your doorstep?
