Fran
What's up everyone?
Ria
It's Chicks in the Office with Ria and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Wednesday. Happy Wednesday, everybody. It's a big Wednesday after the Met gala on Monday. I hate that this is not coming out on Tuesday. Hate. I hate it because now we're delayed. We're two full days after the Met.
Fran
It's not two full days because if you really think about it, those people are. There's people walking the carpet late. So we're really like 36 hours.
Ria
Right. But you know, the takes have been took.
Fran
I know. But by Tuesday we also. We see the after party looks.
Ria
True.
Fran
Those are important. We get to see Hudson Williams coming out of the parties in the sunlight, you know.
Ria
Right. And I guess the looks marinated. Yeah. And you have time to.
Voicemail Callers
Yeah.
Fran
You could sit with them for a little bit and really firm up your opinions.
Ria
Right. And mine aren't firm at all. I'm pretty.
Fran
They're loose.
Ria
I'm pretty like loose. Wishy washy. I'm planning to be as honest as possible and kind of like my first thoughts of when I see and what I think is just fly. I am. And you too. Yeah, you too. Why not?
Fran
I was trying. I was doing it on my Instagram story a little bit.
Ria
I was. You know, there was so much discourse on the Insta stories that I thought, I'm gonna save it for the pod. I'm gonna give the pod an exclusive.
Fran
I think that too. And then you know what happened. And my God, do. I don't compare myself to her at all in the terms of fashion commentary. But Morgan Stewart normally posts on her story giving thoughts on Met gal looks. And she posted being like, I'm saving it for the pod. And I went, damn it.
Ria
Right? Right.
Fran
And that inspired me. I was like, well, I'm gonna.
Ria
Well, you should post.
Fran
I'm gonna share. Fuck yeah. Because maybe people will care about.
Ria
You're right.
Fran
And they do some opinions. I cared.
Ria
I Cared about what you were saying.
Fran
No, and I enjoyed it because there were really some that took my breath away in good and bad ways.
Ria
I wholeheartedly agree.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I am wearing a funky sweater today in honor, so you're allowed to say
Fran
whatever the fuck you want.
Ria
Right. Because I. I was either gonna go like, I don't give a shit what I look like today, and then I thought, well, if you're gonna make commentary about the Met Gala, you have to look somewhat put together. Now, I know I'm not looking Mech gala ready at all and never really have, but I felt like I had to wear something of note to be able to comment.
Fran
So fair. And I would also like to say shout out to the influencers who go. And they go to, like, the mark, and it's like. I don't know if it's Instagram or Meta, whatever it is. They host a bunch of influencers, and they all get dressed up and they hang in the hotel and watch the carpet, and it's a whole party. Whatever. Some unbelievable outfits. Like, gorgeous. Where I thought, put those people on the carpet because they had some incredible looks.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
So sometimes. And I felt like that even when the carpet was starting, there was some. No offense to these people, no namers. Like, you know, they're the people that are at the Met that are very, very rich and are donating a lot of money and therefore are at the Met Gala. And I saw some. Some incredible outfits, but I was like, I don't know who that person is.
Ria
And on the opposite side of that, I saw some incredibly offensive outfits that should have never stepped foot on that carpet. Yeah, that happens where you're like, oh, you're a plus one, and you barely tried.
Fran
Yeah, that's a. That happens all the time.
Ria
So we should just get right into it.
Fran
Because we should. Oh, can I acknowledge one thing before we get right into it, please? It's. I got olive one year ago. I did bring it up on Monday, and I felt bad.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
I was like, ooh, I forgot to say it. But then I brought.
Ria
You feel guilty because she's here right now.
Fran
Yeah. And then I brought her, and she
Ria
can hear everything you're saying.
Fran
Exactly. One whole year. Oh, so sweet.
Ria
And look at her.
Fran
Little fresh flowers. Spring. Springtime.
Ria
Spring florals for spring. Groundbreaking.
Fran
She's ready to comment. She's got a lot to say. So. But no, I was very much looking back at the year when I was making a video of lots of olive clips that I have 9 million videos of her.
Ria
Yeah. We all felt kind of slighted.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
You haven't shared a lot of them.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Cuz it's like me and the rest of your followers. Yeah.
Fran
Yes. You know, I'm not a dog account.
Ria
True.
Fran
Where it's like, do I want my account to just be flooded with dog content? I guess I could.
Ria
Right?
Fran
And people would like it. Because who doesn't love dog content? But then. But then I also don't want to go into the her own Instagram dog influencer, you know?
Ria
Yeah. That's fair.
Fran
Because she could. I could certainly do that too.
Ria
Well, it made it all that more special.
Fran
Yeah. I felt like I was. There was like some reveals in there of some fun moments, but. Yeah. So one whole year of Little Miss Thing.
Ria
Aw, that's beautiful. Is that nice? Yeah.
Fran
Time flies. Time flies.
Ria
Does.
Fran
We are loving the Pepsi Prebiotic Cola. I got the cherry vanilla. It is so delicious. We are stocked in the office, which is so great. And I've been making sure I'm stocked at home too, so that when I get on the couch after a day in the office, I can relax, put on my favorite show, put on a game, whatever's going on, and just enjoy a nice Pepsi Prebiotic Cola because it has that same amazing Pepsi taste. Comes in original cola and cherry vanilla. It has that Pepsi taste we all know and love. So you feel like you're just really enjoying a nice cold soda. And now they have even more to love because there's no artificial sweeteners. It's only 5 grams of sugar, just 30 calories, and now 3 grams of prebiotic fiber. It's unbelievably Pepsi. So you really just can enjoy that nice soda when you're. When you're craving it. I can open my fridge. I got them all nice. Ice cold. Maybe you're feeling the cherry vanilla. Maybe you're feeling the original cola. Both flavors are delicious. You can try it today. So Pepsi Prebiotic Cola is available now. So go try it today. But no, it was. We've had. We've had a great year and I love having her.
Voicemail Callers
Aw.
Ria
We love having her here. And she's ready to comment.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
About the Met gal. Yeah. Well, she takes a nap.
Fran
Well, exactly.
Ria
Because she's probably like, yeah, some of these looks are so boring to me that I'm gonna fall asleep.
Fran
I'm exhausted.
Ria
Yeah. Because it was one of those themes that you really, I feel like, had so much creative freedom.
Fran
Totally.
Ria
And yet people still were boring.
Fran
Yeah, I know. And I did feel I caught like five minutes of Well, I was tuning in and out because I was all over the place. There was a lot on. There was a lot on tv. We're gonna ignore that. There was a basketball game. It's like the game didn't even happen.
Ria
The Knicks won, and Timothy Chalamet chose to go instead of the Met Gala,
Fran
and they won by a lot. It was not a fun game.
Ria
When I heard the score, I was freshening up in the bathroom, you know, washing my face, doing my skincare.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I said, what's the score?
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Matt said, not good.
Noah
He said, they got blown up by the Celtics.
Ria
It was like one. It was 137 to, like 90, you
Fran
know, at one point. Yeah.
Ria
I said.
Fran
Then I went to sleep after halftime. I was like, do we even put this back on? No, I. And I.
Ria
You weren't gonna watch the. Well, it's just if it gets to a point.
Fran
Gets to a point where it's. You don't watch. They sat. They. At a certain. They took all the starters out at a certain point. It's like everybody's.
Ria
See it through.
Fran
No, I kept it on. I'll. I want to say, would you do
Ria
that with the Eagles?
Noah
40 points.
Fran
Yeah. For. Yeah. I don't know. I kept it on until maybe five minutes left in the game. And then I said. I looked at Joe, I said, can we turn this off? He was. He was enjoying.
Noah
Oh, if I was him, I'd be like, no.
Ria
Yeah, right. Like, if I'm Joe, I'm like, no, I'm gonna see this out.
Fran
He was fine. He's.
Noah
Well, of course he's a Knicks fan.
Fran
I know. That's why I'm saying, yeah, sure. Yeah. He was like, yeah, no worries. We're winning by 40 points, so no big deal.
Ria
Another game.
Fran
They were tired. They were tired.
Noah
I mean, they're more tired than.
Fran
They were tired. They played a game. Seven on Saturday, game one on Monday, another game tonight, tomorrow.
Ria
Thank God. Wednesday.
Fran
Wednesday.
Noah
They just got away.
Ria
These are all night games.
Fran
Night games.
Noah
No, it's actually a matinee.
Fran
Yeah. You're hoping to catch a noon game.
Ria
One at 1pm or in the middle
Fran
of the workday, like on the weekends. If a game's on a Sunday, sometimes you'll get like a 3:30.
Ria
Yes. That's why I was asking.
Fran
Yeah. No, it wasn't good. And then the Flyers lost in. I can't, like, fake that I'm a big Fires fan because I just don't care about hockey that much in general. However, they are in the Playoffs, and I'll. I'll watch and root for them. You know, let's jump on the bandwagon of the. Of the fandom from the city that I root for. But I can't say that I'm, like, clocking a lot of NHL hours. I'm really not, so.
Ria
And by the way, NHL playoffs go on forever.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Yeah, but they are as much as NBA. They both go on for really long. This shit will go on till June.
Fran
That's true. That's correct. That is correct.
Ria
I know they're excited.
Fran
Yeah. But they lost in overtime. And that was another just like. It was just like a one, two punch. So I said, let's put on a. Let's put on the new year.
Noah
So you're not. You're not going to go to any. Any games? Six years.
Ria
She doesn't care about them that much.
Fran
No, I do. I just. I.
Ria
Did you even watch a regular season game this year?
Fran
I don't really like to go to. I don't really like to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ria
Name the starting.
Fran
I can't do that for the Flyers, The Sixers. Absolute. I. I set a timer.
Noah
Well, NBA team. There's literally, like, fucking eight people on the team anyway, so it's like.
Fran
Yeah, I was gonna say they don't. And they don't play that many bench players to begin with, so it's not. It's not too tough, but they. I don't. I don't know. Then. I don't love being a opposing fan in the arena.
Noah
Yeah, you got Mike and mugged on the street. Although you could go down. Go to Philly. It's not that far.
Fran
I know, but you heard what I said. They're blocking people out on Ticketmaster. My credit card billing address is New York. I have to get one of my aunts or uncles to buy me a ticket or something.
Ria
Speaking of basketball, we had a really funny situation happen in Italy that there was this really tall man walking, you know, far in the distance, and my dad said, oh, my God, look at how tall that man is. Hunter Dickinson.
Noah
What?
Ria
Shut the fuck up.
Noah
Did Marty know he was gonna be there?
Ria
Yeah. So he calls him. He's like, yo, dude, turn around. He's like, what do you mean, turn around?
Fran
He's like, are you. He's like, are you in Florence?
Ria
Yeah, in Florence. He's like, turn around. I'm right by here. He's like, by the duck store. He's like, yeah, turn around. He turns around. Boom. There we were. It was so random.
Fran
Wait he knew. Did I think he was going to do.
Ria
But it was so random.
Fran
My dad is so random.
Ria
My dad was like, of all the
Fran
basketball players, it's one he very well. Yeah.
Ria
And it was just so random because my dad was like, whoa, look at how tall that guy is. And.
Fran
And he is tall.
Ria
So. Okay. And by the way, we were. You know, we were cracking up because they took a picture together.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And my dad was like, oh, my God, Matt, you look so short. And then he was like, is that how we look around you? Because watching you next to Hunter. Perspective. Like, he was like, watching you next to Hunter, you looked incredibly short.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
But then we stand next to you, and we look really short.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
So just picture all these short people standing around Hunter. It was.
Fran
It was.
Ria
It was a scene. It was so incredibly random.
Fran
That really is so random.
Ria
Right?
Fran
He must get a lot of stares when he's traveling internationally, you know, because he's just really. He is so tall.
Ria
Everyone was staring.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I mean, he's like, seven one.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ria
So, yeah.
Noah
It must be more awkward when you're really tall and not an NBA player, because people are like, oh, you must play basketball. He's like, yeah, I do.
Ria
I mean, well, thank God he's an NBA player, but.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he is.
Noah
No, I know. I'm saying, imagine if you were just tall and, like, then people are probably
Fran
like, is that a. Oh, yeah, right. You're just like, No, I just.
Noah
I'm a nobody.
Fran
I'm just tall and clumsy.
Ria
Yeah. Tall.
Noah
No skills.
Fran
Tall and uncoordinated. I was not blessed with the coordination that does happen.
Ria
It was just so random.
Fran
Yeah, it really is.
Ria
Completely forgot that happened until right now. Yeah, that is.
Fran
That is incredibly random. But what I was saying was I was flipping through the misery of the. Both the games. And then I'm also tuning into some of the carpet coverage, and I was going back and forth because I caught some with how. Fail. There's awkward. Like, I don't know how I always catch these. Like, when I put it on, I'm like, well, that was awkward, or whatever it is, or it's just filling dead air. But the Vogue stream had a lot of, like, dead air going. And, you know, there's no names of people, and there's just, like. There's aerial shots of the carpet, and you're seeing what people are wearing. But then it cuts to Ashley Graham and Cara Delevingne, and they're like, what's up, Amanda Seifer? Heard you got a donkey and she's like, yeah, I do. Scratched his ears this morning. Like, I was like, wait, what's happening?
Ria
Some of these interviews and whatnot have gotten just, like, progressively more awkward.
Fran
What the problem is, too? They just use the same questions, and it's like, how many times can you ask somebody if they're nervous for, like, are you nervous to be here? And then when they say no, it's like, awkward. Like, they also talked to Connor's story, and they were like, oh, my God. Your first met. Like, are you nervous? He was like, not really. And then it's like, well, where do you go from there? You know?
Noah
Who are you most excited to see?
Ria
And by the way, Paul Anthony Kelly. Our guy.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Oh, my God. He got stuck in a shit storm.
Fran
Oh, did he?
Ria
He was. He was asked about how he felt about Beyonce being there.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And then, like, what his favorite Beyonce song is. And he was like, I don't know. Like, I'm a metalhead.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And then he just, like, kept walking.
Fran
You know what? That's unfair. It.
Ria
It is incredibly unfair. They do it with Beyonce, they do it with Taylor Swift, and they put people on the spot and they're like, what's your. Like, the amount of times one I
Fran
actually would have walked away for the New Yorker, it was like, what's your tips for, like, collecting art or something?
Ria
I'd be like, or what's her favorite piece of art she collected?
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Or, oh, my God.
Fran
And she took a deep pause. I mean, I think she put together a pretty nice answer for being put on the spot about, like, collecting art. I don't know.
Ria
But they do it. So where they'll be like, describe, like, pick your favorite Taylor Swift song for this moment. And they're like, why?
Fran
It's always Taylor Swift. It is always Taylor Swift.
Ria
But did you see Hailey Bieber had basically a Demi Lovato mug moment.
Fran
Oh, did she?
Ria
Somebody. I forget what news.
Fran
Yeah. Or what outlet it was.
Ria
What outlet it was. But she was asked what she throws on, like, when she's just trying to, like, you know.
Fran
Right. And she's like a kettle.
Ria
She was like. No, she was like, Rihanna. Oh.
Fran
Oh.
Ria
Like, she's like, I put on Rihanna to get in the mood.
Fran
Oh, like, throw on some jeans.
Ria
Throw on some jeans.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. Why did my thought go, like, throw on the skirt?
Ria
No, but, like, to be fair, like, it was a confusing question because it was like, throw on, like, a coat, boots or sweatshirt. Rihanna. Which. Fair answer.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ria
So some of these are just so, so Incredibly awkward. But before we get into the Metcal, can we talk about Family Feud?
Fran
Because it aired.
Ria
It aired Monday night. Fuck.
Fran
Another thing I tried to block out of my memory.
Ria
It was funny, though.
Fran
It was funny and it was fun to do. Gruden was cracking. I was really. Honestly, I left with a smile on my face because that was really, like, my first time interacting with Gruden. And when we finished, he looked at me and went, love you, girl. I gave you my. And I was like, love you too, coach.
Ria
That's hilarious.
Fran
Sorry we couldn't pull out the win.
Noah
He was good.
Ria
He was.
Fran
When he.
Ria
He was. But when he gave east coast as an. As an answer for most attractive accent, I lost. I just thought that was so funny.
Fran
I know, I know. It was. It was a little all over the place. We also were. We were the first match to go, so we were working. Working out a lot of kinks. Um, I think the, like, graphics department, like, they had a really short amount of time to put this together. So there kept being. There kept being some issues because there was one point where all the answers, like, in the first round, all the answers came on before we even started. And then it was like, oh, then we had to go back and get a new question. It just wasn't the same. And the one that. The one that popped up was, like, cities. It was like naming cities, which I just think is in the Family Feud world, is maybe an easier concept than some of the other ones, but let me tell you, you really do. And, God, maybe it's a good thing I'm not doing the real show, because when you get up to that buzzer, all you're thinking about is hitting the buzzer first. And then you're like, fuck, what's my answer? And when it was something. When it was, you know, like, name the name green characters. And I was like, ah, Green Lantern. Like. And I said, green Lantern. And in my head I went, that was the dumbest fucking answer. And then after, like, I stood there and just all the green characters started going through my head. And then you get stuck on one, and once you get stuck on one, you're like, oh, that's my answer. That's my answer. I'm like, yeah.
Noah
I couldn't think of it.
Fran
I was like.
Noah
I was thinking, Elphaba.
Fran
Oh, my. I was going, that's not a bad answer.
Ria
That is a good answer.
Fran
So I was going, kermit the Frog. Kermit the Frog. Kermit the Frog. And then pft goes, carpet the frog. And I went, no, I got nothing left.
Noah
Yoda, like, never crossed my mind.
Fran
No, not for none of us. Like, when it went Yoda, we all went, oh, duh, Yoda. I was pretty good at fast money, so that was a plus. But losing the first, like, the way it was set up, if you lost the first round, you were really at a disadvantage, obviously, because you had to win every single. Every single fast money person had to.
Ria
When I will say I really enjoyed watching, though. I found it to be very, like, it was very entertaining. And I gotta be honest, I was like, ah, shit, this is something I'd like to play. Trivia, not so much, but this Family Feud fun. This I'd like to play because some funny ass answers come out.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And that's what makes Family Feud funny. So I thoroughly enjoyed watching. I'm sorry you lost, but I did enjoy watching.
Fran
And I couldn't believe it got to me when it was like big blank. And I was like, God, it's either ass or boobs. But I don't really want to say big boobs, but big boobs was up there.
Ria
I was thinking boobs. I was thinking balls.
Fran
Yeah, you know, I know when you
Ria
said big, but I was like, yeah, I would think the same way.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
What about like big dick energy? That. That crossed my mind. To bd?
Fran
Yeah. Yeah, it was just. It was just like one word though. Was like big. So, yeah, I was, it was a. It was a tough one. And I don't want to give too much away for the rest because it's all. I think maybe the last. The final is Wednesday, I would assume tonight. Right. So. Yeah, because it's been Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday for, For the matches for who gets to play on the. On the Real Show. I'm jealous. Yeah, I'm jealous. They're gonna have a. They're gonna have a fun time. Some all time bad. And like Stu thinking that he had 20 seconds for each answer in fast money.
Ria
David Wright got me that right. Was really made me laugh. David Wright. Also, like, there was people in the
Fran
Chicago office that were like, who is that? And then Stu had to be like,
Noah
Mets are the, the people that they pulled for the answers. Those are barstool employees.
Fran
No, no.
Noah
Oh, okay.
Fran
Jeff pulled it from like some survey he did for the dozen.
Ria
Okay.
Noah
Would have made way more sense then.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it was, it was. I. It was anonymous, like it was strangers, but it was pulled from a survey for the dozen. And then him wearing a shirt of him and Dave and, And not naming him as A famous Dave.
Ria
Yeah. No big deal. I was good from my couch.
Fran
Everyone's always good from their couch, and I felt that way, too. I was like, shit. You know, you really do build up that confidence when you're on the couch, but when you're. When you got to press the button and give an answer, God knows what's
Ria
going to come out their ballgame when you're put on.
Fran
It really is. It really is. I couldn't believe it. I went, oh, my God.
Ria
But a fun concept. If they were to continue it at barstool, I think it would be a lot of fun.
Fran
It would be a lot of fun. I just don't know.
Noah
Imagine there's a chicks in the office team.
Fran
Yeah. I just don't know if they can get away with that branding quite like they. Quite like we did for these three.
Ria
No, no, I don't think they. For these three games, probably would have to rebrand it.
Fran
You know, it was like every. It was just everything granted, it's because someone's going on the real show.
Ria
Right?
Fran
So I think it was. It was okay.
Ria
Well, it was good stuff. And you did. You did your best.
Fran
Yeah, I tried my best.
Ria
You did. That's all that matters.
Fran
I tried my best. Yeah. And. But it was funny, like, leaving Florida just to go to Chicago to do this turn around and go back. And then when you lose, I was like, oh, and I lost.
Ria
You got to come back and tell your family. Yeah.
Fran
Like, everyone was like. And I was talking about it in Key west all weekend and was like, oh, good luck. We hope you get on. And then I had to, like, text the whole bachelorette group to be like, I lost.
Ria
Yeah. Everyone was keeping tabs.
Fran
I lost, and I wasn't great. So that's unfortunate.
Ria
When you texted and you were like. And I was bad, I was like, no.
Fran
Yeah, I know, I know.
Ria
My heart stopped. I said, oh, no, Franny, I know. But you weren't as bad as you thought that you were.
Fran
No, I, I, I felt like I had redemption in, in fast money. But if you can't win the first, like, it really came down to if you couldn't win the first round. And the first round goes so fast, and it was a good strategy on their part. They, like, they would win. They would just pass.
Ria
I hate, by the way, I hated that.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Ria
Like, I know who's passing on. Family.
Fran
I know. I don't think.
Ria
I mean, it worked for them physically.
Fran
Like, it is the way. Because it is really hard when you have, like, eight things up there. It's really hard to clear the board. It is.
Ria
But I've never watched family food and have seen people pass not.
Fran
Not as much as. Not that much as they did.
Ria
No, they passed everything.
Fran
They did. They did.
Ria
But, yeah, it was. It was entertaining. Now, I thought it was really enjoyable.
Fran
At least there's that.
Ria
I had a good time. Yeah. All right, let's get into the rest of the episode. We're going to do full Met Gala coverage, rating all the looks, after party, the whole thing. A little update to Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
Fran
They snuck this one in.
Ria
They just.
Fran
At like 5pm right before the Met Gala.
Ria
They're like, we're just gonna sneak this one in here.
Fran
Yep, smart.
Ria
And we have the popcorner. So let's get into it. We're gonna be talking all about the Met Gala looks. And something we love to pay attention to on a red carpet is good hair. Because good hair and adds confidence to your life. You know, when you walk into a room, you feel like your ponytail is feeling fuller. A lot of body to your hair. It just adds that confidence that you need to just. Don't even need to do that last mirror check. You just know that your hair looks great.

Fran
Let's kick it off with that carpet. Obviously the big stars came at the end, so we'll probably start with them because the way that the websites really do it is they put the people who came. It's like sort of in chronological order of like who walked the carpet. So the last few people. Are you crying? Are you?
Ria
I just swallowed a yawn. I'm not gonna lie. To you.
Fran
You're anticipating having to go through all these outfits that you're crying.
Ria
I straight up just swallowed a yawn so hard. Instead of. Instead of saying, excuse me. Yeah, let's pause for a second. I got a big yawn coming in. I decided I was gonna swallow.
Fran
You held it, and it came through
Ria
your eyes, and it came out through my eyes, and I apologize. I've been up. I've been fallen. It's one of those things when you time to.
Fran
It's jet lag. It's jet lag.
Ria
I have. And not to complain because I actually quite enjoy it. I've been coming back, you fall asleep,
Fran
you become a morning person. Yes.
Ria
It's like, I've been up since 6am yeah. And I had such a great morning, but I'm hitting the lull where I need a little bit more coffee.
Fran
For sure.
Ria
So I just swallowed the yawn.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Tears.
Fran
All right, let's get into those looks.
Ria
Yeah, Sorry, sorry.
Fran
No, sorry.
Ria
Let's cut this all out.
Fran
It's fine. It's fine.
Ria
I'm winning the show.
Fran
That made me giggle. You yawned through your eyes.
Ria
That's funny. I feel like I'm ruining the show. I wasn't here last year during the Met gala recap. And Noah was like, well, let's just do it how we did it last year. And I said, oh, you're doing a callback. Doing a callback without me here. It wasn't here.
Fran
It went so well last year. Let's just do it exactly how we did it last year.
Noah
Well, I mean, Kelly didn't yawn through her eyes.
Ria
Honestly. Just remove me. Just. Just remove me. It's fine.
Fran
Oh, please. I'm ready for your hot take. You wore the sweater.
Ria
All right, let's get into it.
Fran
You're in that funky goddamn sweater.
Ria
I'm wearing this funky fucking sweater for a reason.
Fran
Yeah, exactly.
Ria
Get some fucking takes off.
Fran
All right, we're starting with Rihanna and ASAP Rocky.
Ria
Baby boy. ASAP Rocky. Yeah.
Fran
He looks fantastic. I love the kitty.
Ria
And by the way, anyone who's surprised isn't paying attention enough because he facts is pitting bars. I just like him because he is most notable for his fashion. Drake has said it. I'm saying it. It's like, why even rap when you look like a model and you have amazing taste? So I was not surprised at all that he was gonna come looking like this.
Fran
I also obsessed with his after party look. The after party jacket was sick.
Ria
So sick. So sick. He's so fucking hot. I'M sorry, like, not to get graphic, as if that was the most graphic thing I've ever said. But, like, it's just like, oh, my God, he is gor. Gorgeous.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And so is Rihanna, obviously. That goes without saying. But I really added the two of them because they showed up as a couple.
Fran
Yes.
Ria
I have to say.
Noah
What's he holding? It's like a Pokemon.
Ria
An apple.
Noah
Oh, an apple.
Ria
I believe I took it as an apple. No, it's not an apple, is it? It's an apple. I think it's, like, obviously not real apple.
Fran
It's like, it looks like an apple clutch.
Ria
Yeah, that's what I thought. I. She looks absolutely stunning.
Fran
Yeah, this was really cool. You know, my first thought, though, is when some of these outfits, it's like, my God, how much does that. How much does that weigh?
Ria
Right? It's gotta be really heavy.
Fran
Has to be heavy.
Ria
But out of the two of them I loved, so many commented. Ria must love this look. I do.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I loved ASAPS a bit more than Rihanna's.
Fran
Yeah. So fine.
Ria
Okay. That prom pose is not working for them in this situation. You know what I mean? Like that because. Because the cocoon is kind of blocking.
Fran
She jokes. She was like, I feel like I'm. I'm, you know, emerging out of an oyster.
Ria
But she's always gonna look fantastic, and she's always gonna have such a beautiful.
Fran
The glam was really cool. The hair.
Ria
I mean, she is just drop dead gorgeous. The two of them are two of the most gorgeous humans alive, in my personal opinion, so. And Anna Wintour says herself that Rihanna is the only person that's allowed to show up late to the Met Gala, and I am with that sentiment. I stand by that as well. Not that I have a say, but cosign.
Fran
Anna Wintour and Maria Chava.
Ria
Yeah. If she were to make me a co chair, I would co sign that for sure. So here's the thing. It's.
Fran
It's good. It's. I'm. I'm not shocked.
Ria
It's good. I'm waiting for you to be great. No, but I do love them, and I'm just, you know, moving on to Beyonce. Love the coat. Yeah, absolutely. Love the coat. I think it's. It's stunning. Kind of looks like a 70s shag rug, but I love it.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I'm not obsessed with the look itself, though.
Fran
I do think I really like the dress. I don't know, there's something maybe about the headpiece and the coat where I'm like, Maybe she didn't have the headpiece, but at the same time, I get it. And it does feel on theme. There was certainly a lot of usage of fashion through art with the human body. That's a big part of the.
Ria
Yes.
Fran
The exhibit inside.
Ria
Sure.
Fran
The connection of our body and, you know, she's a skeleton, so.
Ria
Yeah, no, I see it. And it's certainly on theme. I thought. I thought that Blue Ivy was. I agree with you. I was like, Blue Ivy is eating her mother up.
Fran
Yep.
Ria
Like, move over.
Fran
Shades on.
Ria
Yeah, move the over.
Noah
She's taller than Beyonce. Or is. It's the heels.
Fran
Really tall. I mean, I'm sure Beyonce has heels on as well.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
It is also funny when you see the red carpet photos versus, like, what people post on Instagram. And I know that sometimes the Met Gala, like, lighting is not great, but when I saw what she posted on her Instagram, I was like, oh, I like it 10 times more on it. Because she, like, she posed with the coat, like, up in the air, and it kind of had, like, a wing effect.
Ria
Oh, wow.
Fran
Like that, Right?
Ria
That's stunning.
Fran
And the flash. It's a certain flash so that the dress is sparkling in a certain way.
Ria
Drop dead gorgeous.
Fran
Like that lighting. And then you can see the full backboning as well.
Ria
Yeah, I'm with you.
Fran
Like, the back of that is stunning.
Ria
Looking like a branzino.
Fran
Freshly deboned at the table.
Ria
Tableside, Tableside. Branzino.
Fran
Tableside, branzino.
Ria
No, it's gorgeous. I agree with you.
Fran
I really thought that that was the metgal lighting. Could.
Ria
Could be a little better. It could be better. I actually texted Eugene and Kelly and I said the Met Gala lighting is enough to humble me to my death.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Like, if I was on that carpet and I got photographed, I think
Fran
it's really not. It wouldn't be pretty in the head. It just, like, really doesn't fit. Sometimes it just, like, hits your face. You're like.
Ria
Right.
Fran
But she's Beyonce, so it's amazing. And love seeing her there.
Ria
Teyana Taylor giving jetty.
Fran
Yes. She was doing a lot of poses and such.
Ria
Not my favorite.
Fran
Like, she. And I think with the way she crushed awards season, you have maybe different expectations. I wasn't.
Ria
I didn't mean jetty.
Fran
I meant Yeti jetty. Oh, I thought you were. I don't know. I just thought you were.
Ria
Yet you said.
Noah
Yeah, I didn't know what you thought. You thought you were trying to say Jedi or something.
Ria
Oh, no, no.
Fran
I thought maybe it was a Reference I just wasn't aware of, and I was gonna agree with you and move on.
Ria
Yeah. No, I meant yeti.
Fran
Yeti. Yeah. Right. Okay. That makes more sense.
Noah
I still don't get it.
Fran
Yeti.
Ria
A yeti.
Fran
Like a yeti.
Noah
Like the water bottle.
Ria
Oh, what's the water bottle like?
Fran
The yeti? Like a yeti Cooler.
Ria
Oh, my God. Throwback.
Fran
Yeah. Wow.
Ria
No, no, I thought.
Noah
Isn't that. What?
Ria
No.
Fran
Yeti. Abominable. Abominable Snowman.
Ria
Like, look up. Yeti.
Fran
Like a yeti.
Ria
Because that's what yeti was named after, the brand. But pull up. Pull it out so you can see what I'm talking about here. You don't even have to write snowman straight.
Noah
Yeah. There he is.
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
Oh, wait, like, from. Is it Monsters, Inc. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Yes. Yeah. Yep. Correct.
Ria
Jetty.
Fran
But, yeah. I mean, this is, like.
Ria
It's cool.
Fran
Funky.
Ria
Yeah. Not my favorite. Oh, my God. It sounded like the ceiling was.
Fran
I know. It did sound like somebody was knocking up Doja Cat. Not my fave as well.
Ria
So they were actually going crazy about this on E. When I was watching.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
About her look. And I was in the kitchen, and I couldn't quite see, so I popped around and I said, let me see what they're going crazy about. And then once I saw it, I. I like it.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I don't love it.
Fran
I don't love the dress, but the hair and makeup is fantastic.
Ria
Yeah. Makeup is beautiful.
Fran
Gorgeous.
Ria
But I wasn't blown away in the way that I heard them being blown away on E. It's got to be
Fran
hard to walk in shoes like that.
Ria
Oh, my God. I can't remember. No strap on the back. No strap is dangerous.
Fran
Seriously. It's really the strap because it's not the platform. When you have a platform like that, your foot actually really isn't sometimes gonna be more comfortable. But with no security on the ankle,
Ria
you're loosey, goosey, wobbly, wobbly. Big time.
Fran
Big time.
Ria
Nicole Kidman.
Fran
Nicole Kidman in red. Because red is fashion, and fashion is red. Did you see her? Do you see her?
Ria
Yes, I did. Nicole Kidman, inches upon inches. For the hair.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Her daughter as well.
Fran
Yeah. And I think she was a co chair.
Ria
She was.
Fran
Which is like. Sorry. It's a disappointing look for me as a co chair. It's pretty. Here's why it's red. It's like a gorgeous dress.
Ria
I liked it next to Anna Wintour.
Fran
Right.
Ria
Because if Anna Wintour's going feathers and you're going Feathers, then you're on theme to me. She's always in feathers, Anna.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I just felt like them next to each other. Made sense for coaching.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Alone. If she shows up in this, I'm not blown away for the theme.
Voicemail Callers
Right.
Fran
You just see what other people wear and you compare. You're like, you couldn't. I just kept going back to Emma Chamberlain. I know. We'll talk about it.
Ria
Oh, yeah.
Fran
I mean, but it's like when you see a dress like that and. And you're like, you know, some of these massive celebrities have access to a look to. To some sort of look like that. Right.
Ria
Because you're like, if Emma Chamberlain is wearing that, how come you couldn't wear something like that?
Fran
Yep.
Ria
Yep. Tyler.
Fran
Tyler. Always looking like water. Always, always dressing like water.
Ria
And she's always.
Fran
She is water.
Ria
Just absolutely divine looking.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Is it my favorite look?
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
No, no, it's not.
Fran
Did she have you think that's just like some sort of body glow or was it like plastic? No, it's just glitter.
Ria
I think a lot of glitter.
Fran
Because there was a first second. I think it's just glitter for a second. I thought almost that like her body was saran wrapped. Cause she was shining so much.
Ria
She's always shining and glowing. She has the most gorgeous skin. It's always glowing. So, I mean, not my favorite.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
But she's just so frickin pretty. Yep.
Fran
Agreed.
Ria
You know?
Fran
Agreed.
Ria
Sabrina Carpenter.
Fran
This.
Ria
This was a big one.
Fran
Was really cool.
Ria
It was Dior. It was made up of all film. Very on theme to what Serena Carpenter is going with right now, right off her Coachella set, which was very Hollywood theme. Showgirl. She's always like borderline showgirl these days. This with that. Her legs look incredible. Especially with these stilettos. Their Louboutins. Yeah.
Fran
She needs them because she's a teeny tiny.
Ria
But she is. This is one of the best of the night. I thought it was perfection. I thought it was art. And the use of the film was so interesting. I would like to know more of what's included on the film.
Fran
Because it's Sabrina. It's all Audrey Hepburn. Sabrina, the movie.
Ria
Oh, wow. Okay.
Noah
Which she said was one of her favorite movies. Where I'm like, is it just because of the name?
Fran
Well, yeah, I'm sure that's one of the factors. But I think you go in watching it being like, this movie's called Sabrina, I'm gonna love it. And then you, you know, love it.
Ria
Like, this is one of the best of the night. So creative.
Fran
Yeah. So unique, different, fun, cool. And, like, when you get to see the up close and really see the shots on the film is so cool.
Ria
I love when a pop star is not afraid to take a risk.
Fran
I agree. Was that a slight shot of Tate McCray?
Ria
It was. We'll get there. No, because Tate McRae is so fucking.
Fran
She's so gorgeous. She's so gorgeous and hot.
Ria
I know that it's hard to say anything bad, but she's. It's just not anything that I'm like, oh, that's different.
Fran
I know. I know. I do. But I do feel like she's in the phase of just wearing very pretty outfits that are not. There's no risk involved.
Ria
Right. But if your main goal is to look hot, she nails it.
Fran
Yeah, she nails it every time.
Ria
Hailey Bieber in St. Laurent.
Fran
Yeah. Gorgeous. This blue is a go. It's just a gorgeous blue.
Ria
Oh, my God. Thank God we got a blue instead of a black.
Fran
Yes.
Ria
Seeing her in this gorgeous royal blue and gold made a tear almost fall from my eye. I was so happy to see this because at this point, you know, we always get so excited to see Hailey Bieber on the Met. Right. In recent years, I feel like it's been a little bit more disappointing. Early years, she had some stunners. When she had the pink hair with Shawn Mendes, when she did the Barb Xander Wang Barbie pink with the thong out, that was a statement that people just always look back to now and then. She had a couple black dresses.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I love the use of color here. And I love that, you know, because I feel like there's was discussion about the just simple slick back bun and the simple makeup. I thought it was like, let my body and my dress be the statement.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Let that be the work of art, because it is a work of art.
Fran
I agree. And she doesn't really. I know some people will try different, like, hair and makeup looks. She doesn't venture too far off from her. From her. From the. The makeup.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
You know, I. I don't really ever see her being very experimental with the makeup.
Ria
Would. I love to see her in some inches? Yes. Like if she puts on a long ass extensions in like Nicole Kidman, I think that would look sick. Would. Would love to see her play around like that. Yeah. But we're not gonna get that. And I feel like with this, the. The slick works. I agree.
Fran
Charli XCX News. Sorry. Boring.
Ria
Didn't make sense to me especially. It was so different for Charlie XCX Yes. This was so boring to me.
Fran
I.
Ria
It felt like Oscars.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Not met gala.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Was incredibly bored by this.
Fran
Yeah. And it's like, once again. And boring is like. It means it's pretty.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
I mean, that's it.
Ria
Pretty.
Fran
Pretty boring.
Ria
Just because boring doesn't mean you're ugly. But this cardi b which he wore is ugly. Like, this is.
Fran
This is by far my worst. This is.
Ria
This is a. A disgusting looking.
Fran
No.
Ria
This is terrible. This looks like what my insides look like when I come back from vacation.
Fran
Yeah. I. Unfortunately, I described looking at this dress making me feel a little like squirmish. Mm. Because let me tell you, it's like either two balls or two boobs on her shoulders with giant areolas.
Ria
Looks like botched implants that ended up on her neck.
Fran
And. And the bottom look like intestines. It looks like her. Her large intestine draped around her feet. Mm.
Ria
Oh, my God. People are so right. It does look like a bunch of hemorrhoids.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Wow. Yeah, though. That's gross. That is a disgusting dress.
Fran
It's terrible. It's really, really bad. That's real. It was just really bad. Like. Yeah.
Ria
Coleman Domingo and Valentino.
Fran
Coleman never misses. Never, never. Thank God.
Ria
Thank God.
Fran
He is Mr. Reliable.
Ria
He really is. And I know that when we see Colman Domingo show up on a carpet, it's not. We're not gonna go. Oh, we're disappointed.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
We're just gonna go. Yeah. No, and he does. It works.
Fran
He does the hair and makeup so well. Like, the makeup is gorgeous and subtle and matches the outfit and is like what Hudson Williams should have been doing.
Ria
Oh, God. Well, I hope we get there soon because. Oh, my God. That was tragic.
Fran
I owe debris wore Chanel. Another one pretty. This one was less boring to me than maybe just cause it wasn't black, but very pretty.
Ria
I thought it was really, like, ethereal looking.
Fran
Yeah, very.
Ria
Just very pretty.
Fran
Yep. Chanel.
Shelby Power Nitro Ad

Spring training in football is all about putting in the work when nobody's cheering yet. And honestly, that's the same mindset behind the Chevy Silverado. This is a truck that is the definition of grit. Long days, dirty work, and showing up day after day, no matter the conditions. Strong, dependable, and built for the grind.

Fran
Kim K. So what's cool is. I guess she wore. This is an Alan, Jones and Whitaker. It's a British sculptor artist who's not in fashion. I'm sorry.
Ria
Took my breath away.
Fran
Not shocking of Kim to wear some sort of armor bodice situation. Right.
Ria
Like, I would be lying if I said I liked this because I really don't like it. I really don't like it at all. I think her hair is a mess.
Fran
The hair. I don't get it all. I really. And whatever. Someone can try and explain to me the vision of the hair. I don't like it. It's frizzy and unkempt.
Noah
It's tacky, and I hate it.
Fran
Yeah. Like, I'm sorry. I think that this look would have really been way cooler with her hair pulled, you know, with this hair, like, if she wants that look of, like, this. Like, this statue. I see a comment saying that she looks like a perfume bottle is so true. But then it's like, snatch the hair.
Ria
Yeah. This is like what my hair looks like coming home at three in the morning when my head's out the window and I open up my. My Instagram story and I start taking pictures of myself. Cause I think that I look really good. And then this is what I look like. Yep. You know, and it's like, all right, we're going to. We're going to X out of that. We're not going to post that.
Fran
I really.
Ria
This is actually one of my least favorite Kim Kardashian Mac Owl looks.
Fran
Yeah. Ever. Kim. Kim must really laser everything. Like, she's got. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's. That's. Your bikini line is out.
Ria
Yeah. Was there ever a doubt?
Fran
No.
Ria
There's that cheating laser everything.
Fran
But she's Armenia. You know, they got a lot of hair.
Ria
I feel you.
Fran
Like, sometimes no matter how hard you try, the hair still show up.
Ria
They're. They're silky smooth everywhere, you know, but that's a. You're right, though. That is a risky.
Fran
That's up there.
Ria
That's a risky number up there for sure. Yeah. I don't, like. I don't know how confident I would be my cooch being that close to these lights, like these bright lights at the Met Gala.
Fran
No.
Ria
Forget it. Serena Williams. I feel like it's giving a little bit of tinfoil yeah.
Fran
Aluminum foil chic.
Ria
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
I feel like there was a lot of like, homage to sort of the angels and the goddesses and such, which I see here. But I don't love. She's had better at Met Galice.
Ria
Yeah. I agree with you.
Fran
Yeah. I mean, Emma Chamberlain is just my. She's just my best dressed, and I
Ria
don't even think it's close. I think Emma Chamberlain is at the top of everyone's list. How could she not be? I think it nailed the theme to absolute perfection, that it would be quite impossible to top a best dress more than this.
Fran
It's. It's really, really gorgeous, this dress, Blair. It's fucking stunning.
Ria
And it's a hand painted dress. It is quite literally a work of art. And I just think it's absolute perfection.
Fran
It really is, selfishly. And I don't want to take away. I'm not taking away from her being my best dress, because I do stand by that selfishly. I wish she would step away from the, like, Coraline makeup just in general, you know?
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
It's just like the heavy eye makeup is just personally not my favorite.
Ria
I think it works with this dressed out.
Fran
No, the whole look comes together really, really nicely. But I do think there's a world where the heavy eye makeup is toned down a little bit and the. And it still is stunning.
Ria
It was. It was the perfect person. Her dress speaks for itself. Yeah. The perfect person to step onto that carpet first. Yeah. Because it just was to die for Kendall Jenner, Zac Posen for Gap. For Gap, Kendall, this dress is stunning. But here's the thing. We need to go to Kendall Jenner's Instagram because the actual whole piece of this dress with the wings is one of the best looks of the night, but it was not. Or maybe it's on Zac Posen's Instagram.
Fran
Yeah. I don't think she even posted it herself.
Ria
Whatever happened on the carpet did not do this look justice because that is absolutely stunning. With the dress flown out looking like a bird wings. It's. It's stunning.
Fran
There's a lot of callbacks on Instagram too, that you can find of, like, the certain sculptures that I'm not gonna remember off the top of my head that these outfits were modeled after. And it's really gorgeous. And it did feel like her and Kylie had sort of a matching moment despite being different designers. I think seeing this on the carpet right after Kylie, it did sort of like, lend for some jokes of, oh, is it just a gap? Like a gap. The Gap version. But it's. I mean, it's really, really pretty. And I think seeing it next to the sculpture is really, really cool. And the. Yeah, like, that's so cool. And then you put in with the wings. Gorgeous.
Ria
It was gorgeous. I really do love how her and Kylie played off of each other, even though it was completely different designers originally. I think you see this and you go, really pretty. Yeah, really pretty. I wasn't so terribly bored by it when I first saw it. I always think Kendall looks really fantastic at the Met Gala. But when. When you see that picture on Zac Posen's Instagram, that is the full spread of the wings, it's one of the best of the night, in my opinion. I think it is just so good. And then we move on to Kylie, who, similar to Kendall, but just in a different way. Once again, I think reflecting kind of what we said about Beyonce with the theme of costume art and the body and the human connection. Human body connection to art. Because this is the undressing, right? Like, this is such a unique concept.
Fran
I think this is so cool.
Ria
It is so cool. It is, you know, the dress pulled down, the undressing to the body.
Fran
This is a piece of art to me.
Ria
It really is. And I. Schiaparelli.
Fran
Fucking stunning.
Ria
I think it's so unique and such a cool concept and perfectly on theme.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I don't love bleached eyebrows, really.
Fran
Ever, ever.
Ria
And she posted on her story, I bleached my eyebrows. Wish me luck. And then she posted after that. She was trying to get her eyebrows back and she was like, this is horrible.
Fran
Cause it's just one of the most jarring things you can do to your face. And I can't even. I can't even imagine, like, looking in the mirror after doing it to yourself, because that has got to be as jarring as it gets, because it really just transforms your entire face. And I get it. It's like the high fashion look and they dye makes the whole outfit, whatever, no matter what, you are going to look better with your eyebrows than without your eyebrows.
Ria
Eyebrows shape a face, you know, you
Fran
just are gonna look better with your eyebrows. I get it for the look and whatever, the whole moment, but I think it could have had the same effect with her eyebrows.
Ria
Mm. I agree. I agree. And while we're just talking about Kylie, Timothy did choose the Knicks game, which is very fair. He won a lot of points in people's eyes by doing that.
Fran
Yeah. Ben Stiller wishes he could have been Timothy.
Noah
I was shocked that Ben Stiller looked miserable.
Fran
He kept being like Nixon, six, get me out of here.
Ria
He should have just went.
Fran
I know. I guess maybe there's some sort of like, you have a. I don't know if these people sign contracts or whatever. Like with the designers. It's like, granted, he was in a suit with an orange tie. Yeah. Like, it wasn't really like he had something so crazy to really show people. To show people. Rachel Zenna wore this, like pop art.
Ria
Yeah. Color block. Pop art. She had some gum she was doing.
Fran
She was popping bubbles.
Ria
Popping bubbles.
Fran
Not for me.
Ria
No. I didn't love this.
Noah
Did you see that?
Ria
Interesting.
Noah
She said that Beyonce said she's a big fan of her show.
Ria
Oh, really?
Fran
Well, then, my God.
Ria
Well, that's all that matters. Doesn't even matter if the outfit stinks. It's like that's all you care about.
Fran
Definitely.
Ria
But I like taking a risk like that. Especially at your first met gala. Gracie Abrams in Chanel. This was gorgeous. It was another reference. Yeah, that's. I think what is sometimes hard is when we don't see the source material sources, what the references are until after. And then you go, oh, wow, that's beautiful. Because originally when you see that, you go, yeah, that's pretty. But I don't. I don't know. But then when you see where it comes from.
Fran
Yeah. Believe it was a Gustav Clint painting.
Ria
Sure.
Fran
I might be making that up.
Ria
Can you Google that?
Fran
Noah Gustav. Ah, yes. Gracie Abrams looks like a living Klimt painting.
Ria
Yes.
Fran
Gustav. I recognize that work.
Ria
Anyway, my favorite artist.
Fran
When you see, when you see. And you need, like, that's why it's like you need the next day to see all the references because it really makes you respect the designer's work so much more. Really, really pretty. She looks gorge. It's very. It's one of those dresses that from far away you're like, oh, pretty. And then you see it up close and it's. It's way has a lot of detail to it. That's really nice.
Ria
Very, very detailed. Kris Jenner. Absolutely horrific. Absolutely horrific. Who let Kris Jenner leave the hotel looking like this?
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
There are so many things wrong with this.
Fran
So many. It's also like. Oh, it's a basically kimono, but it's also designed by Dolce and Gabbana.
Ria
So you're like, right. Yeah, yeah. There are so many things wr. Long.
Fran
The hair, this, it's.
Ria
It's giving Emperor's new Cusco so spot on. I mean.
Fran
Yeah, I just, I really do not like this. This hairstyle for her.
Ria
I want Kris Jenner to go back to the Kris Jenner. We know.
Fran
I know.
Ria
With that hairstyle, like, we don't know this Kris Jenner, and we don't want to. No offense. I mean, I just. We want the classic Chris.
Fran
Well, let's f. This is. I think she can still have her new face, but use her old hair.
Ria
That's what I want. I want the new face with. With the old face.
Fran
Old hair.
Ria
Yeah. We need something for us to hold on to, because this is. This ain't it.
Fran
Did you see the video of Bad Bunny hugging her? It looked like she didn't realize it was Bad Bunny.
Ria
I. I wouldn't be shocked if she wanted to know his Bad Bunny or two. Didn't want it to look like she was being that nice to one of her kids.
Fran
Exactly. Of being so nice to them.
Ria
Right. But she always gets in trouble.
Fran
I know, but it's like, now, if you're so nice to all them, you're gonna score Bad Bunny. Everyone's gonna be like, what the up with that?
Ria
There's a good chance you didn't know who it was.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I thought Bad Bunny was Will Ferrell. Yeah.
Fran
I think a lot of people.
Ria
So.
Fran
I think a lot of people.
Ria
Did Joe Burrow, like, let me just. Let me just go on a little bit of a rant about Joe Burrow for a second.
Fran
Go ahead. Yep.
Ria
I'm so sick of Joe Burrow acting like he's not dating Olivia Ponton.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. Right, right, right. Get her out of the show. He's.
Ria
He's walking four feet ahead of her in every photograph.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I. I hate that. I hate it.
Fran
Yeah. You let me leave first. You walked away because, by the way,
Ria
you look like a douchebag.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ria
Because everyone knows.
Fran
Least gentlemanly thing you can do. It really is.
Ria
Any man who's walking that far ahead of you. You look like a doucher. Everyone knows you're dating. We see you out and about all the time. Hold her damn hand. Let her walk first.
Fran
We all know you're dating.
Ria
Open the car door for her.
Fran
They don't even need to hold hands. They can just walk in tandem. No. Right.
Ria
By the way, you don't even got to do his pda.
Fran
Or actually, to be honest, he should be walking behind her.
Ria
Yes.
Fran
If he steps behind her, she is always trailing behind.
Ria
He's always making her look like a groupie. I know, and I hate it.
Fran
I agree.
Ria
Fair. It's, like, really grinding my gears.
Fran
I agree. Couldn't agree more.
Ria
And his look was boring.
Fran
There's a lot going on. A lot of trinkets, a lot. A lot of accessories. Headpiece. She's so gorgeous. Color is beautiful.
Ria
I was just gonna actually love the yellow. I love the yellow. I think that this is a work of art as well.
Fran
It is.
Ria
It's not boring by any means. That's what we look for.
Fran
Butterfly.
Ria
The cape open. She looks like a gorgeous butterfly. Stunning to me. The headpiece is stunning.
Fran
Yep.
Ria
I love this look.
Fran
Yeah. Completely work of art.
Voicemail Callers
I agree.
Fran
Chase infinity and Tom Brown. I die. I love this.
Ria
This was really good.
Fran
I was waiting for the. For the carpet photos to hit, because when I saw the video of her coming out of the hotel, I went, oh, this is. This is going to be good. And it is. And I am so happy for her because she is someone that also got a lot of hype for her carpet looks during award season, and she just nailed this. And the hair and makeup is perfection.
Ria
So good. I love this. It sort of reminds me of sort of what Jeremy. Jeremy Pope was wearing. Did you guys see?
Fran
Yes.
Ria
Jeremy Pope.
Fran
I love that. Love that. Yep.
Ria
Loved what he was wearing. If we could just pull that up on the side, maybe we could type that in it. It felt like they could go hand in hand a little bit.
Fran
Yeah. Just really cool.
Ria
Really cool from Jeremy Pope here. Loved that.
Fran
Fashion icon Vivian Westwood really just does some great red carpet.
Ria
Looks very, very cool.
Fran
Really cool. But, yeah, I definitely see the same. Same sort of reference. I really liked it. Bad Bunny in Zara. And he dressed like an old man.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
For what? I'm unsure.
Ria
Listen.
Fran
Aging art. Art is aging. You know what? Like, art is a lot old, and I'm art.
Ria
And a lot of art that we. Is old is old. So that's. You know what I mean? Like, I could see the connection. He probably has a deeper meaning than what I'm coming up with.
Fran
But I thought this was. It was. You know, and I do like. And even if it's, like, costume y, it's because we saw what Heidi Klum did, obviously. So even just in the sense of, like, showing up in a costume, he did that.
Ria
Yeah. I thought that Heidi Klum was Patricia Arquette.
Fran
Yeah. I could see that.
Ria
I would have bet all the money in the world that you that it was Patricia Arquette. It was not a Kylie Cloom.
Fran
I see that. But this dedication to the makeup is incredible. Like, his hands. He's got the spots on the hands, everything.
Ria
The makeup was outstanding for this.
Fran
The Makeup was really good. I did love. He was asked. They were like, how. They were like, how long did it take you to do this whole. This whole look? He said 53 years, which made me laugh. Dochi. Gorge.
Ria
Dochi. I love the color.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I don't love the entire look.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
But I really do love the color.
Fran
Yeah, the color's fantastic. She looks fantastic. This is very. It's different. Costumey, arty, for sure. There he is.
Ria
Jeremy Pope.
Fran
Jeremy Pope.
Ria
This was one of my favorite of the night.
Fran
For the men.
Ria
For the men.
Fran
And just in general.
Ria
Right. Like, I just thought it was really, really cool. Yeah. Really interesting.
Fran
Yeah. The beating is stunning. Really, really cool. Daisy Edgar Jones. I know that this isn't, like, groundbreaking in terms of the. Of the theme, perhaps, but this is one of the. I thought one of the best looks that she's had. Just in terms of carpet looks.
Ria
I didn't love this because this felt more of a couple years ago.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Which was the Catholicism.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Right. That was one of the themes.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
That, to me, felt more like that.
Fran
Yeah. I could see that.
Ria
This. I. I didn't, you know, didn't love it.
Fran
Pretty. Tessa Thompson in Valentino. This was really cool because it's obviously just like a. Like a big paint splatter.
Ria
And her. The paint on the hand. Attention to detail. The paint.
Fran
The paint on the hand actually makes this whole thing for me. Like, I think without that, I'd be having less of a reaction, but with that, I'm like, oh, that's sick.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
You know?
Ria
All right, let's pause on Odessa here. So there was a look that Odessa wore for the Vanity Fair Oscars after party, I think would have been perfect for the Met gala. Like, looking back on that dress, I thought that would have been really great for this. This looks not so much for me.
Fran
This is unfortunately, just not very flattering.
Ria
Right.
Fran
And that's what's tough. Like, it's. It's. It's tough because it's like, it's. I really love her, but this is, like. I don't know. It's just. The top was just not flattering.
Ria
No, it's not. And that's just as straight up as you can put it, because she is so stunning and she has such a rocking body. Like, it's insane. But anybody who's gonna wear a top like this. You know what I mean? Like, kind of.
Fran
I just feel like it's smushed her boobs in a way.
Voicemail Callers
Yeah.
Ria
Like, it's flattening instead of pushing and
Fran
it's going down instead of up.
Ria
Listen, we've all been caught in a moment like that. I know. I sure have. And it's. You look back and go, this is gonna be. You know.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
So I think if it was like a. Actually like just a filled out top and kind of came together more, but didn't Love this. Tay McCray.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Drop dead gorgeous.
Fran
Stunning. She's stunning.
Ria
So hot. So stunning.
Fran
Stunning.
Ria
Never changes her hair.
Fran
No.
Ria
And that's that. And it works for her.
Fran
Like, yeah. Like I said, she's in that phase where she's just wearing beautiful items and that's it. She.
Ria
She looks so good. So it's.
Fran
She does.
Ria
Hard to say.
Fran
Oh, I don't like that for sure.
Ria
But it's never. I'm never like, oh, that's different.
Fran
I do really like the bodice too. Like.
Ria
Yeah, it's gorgeous. She. She looks like a work of art.
Fran
The feathered top is really, really pretty. She does.
Ria
I do like her. Her hair right now too. It's a little bit lighter.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. She looks ridiculous. She looks.
Ria
It's insane. She's absolutely stunning.
Fran
Really gorgeous.
Ria
Like lively.
Fran
Like lively. Straight from settling to the carpet.
Ria
We could talk about that while we're talking about Blake Lively's look.
Fran
She loves a train.
Ria
She. And she's always. She always has a big moment at the back alley. Yeah.
Fran
With a big train. There will always be a train. She loves a train. This is a rainbow sherbert train. Yeah.
Ria
I think it's pretty.
Fran
It's pretty. I do like the colors. I don't love the bodice as much, but. And I do kind of wish sometimes she would change up the. I feel like for a red carpet. She normally does her hair the same way.
Ria
The Hollywood glam waves.
Fran
Like the Hollywood glam waves is a. Is a. Always a staple for her, but it's not my favorite. I do love. I thought it was sweet. I think her girls had painted the art for the clutch. That's on the clutch, which was cute.
Ria
But.
Fran
Yeah, I mean, that was perfect timing. The lawyers dropped the news that they settled. I did just see a TMZ article that apparently no money was exchanged or changed hands. It says it's. Except for the lawyers. This says that. Sources knowledge tell tmz there was a lot of behind the scenes drama in the Lively camp in the days before settlement was reached. We're told Blake brought in a new law firm, Sussman Godfrey. The firm is a litigation. Litigation powerhouse. It would seem the point of bringing the firm in would be to litigate the case. But the opposite happened. The settlement statement did not even include an apology from Justin. Things were not going Blake's way, Especially after the judge all but gutted the claim she was making against Justin. The winners, as you know, lawyers on both sides who clearly made millions from the case, they predicted it. TMZ wrote. We predicted a settlement because Blake and Justin would have been grilled like cheeseburgers on cross examination, and it could have been the end of their careers.
Ria
Okay, so.
Fran
So they were both just so afraid of being cross examined that they said, we'll just end this.
Ria
Never mind.
Fran
We'll just end this. What they learned she got no money in the settlement.
Ria
That's crazy. So they both were just like, ah, we went through all of this, paid
Fran
tens of millions of dollars to lawyers just for just. And then that's it.
Ria
Crazy.
Fran
If that's the case. That's wild.
Ria
That is so wild.
Fran
Really. And it's like. It's not like they didn't know that if it. I don't know, maybe they thought it was going to end sooner and in a different way. But now when they were actually.
Ria
Whatever.
Fran
It was a week away from trial. They all panicked that they were actually gonna have to get on the stand and be cross examined and, like, didn't want that to happen for their careers, which doesn't speak so great for either of them. Like, it's just. I don't know. That's wild to me.
Ria
They both like, shook hands. This other way out.
Fran
Yeah, right. There wasn't. And they're like, hey, Nowhere in the settlement even was like, I know I'm not getting any money, but, like, you gotta put out in a. Like a.
Ria
Sorry.
Fran
No, nothing.
Ria
Wild.
Fran
Crazy. So, yeah, I guess if that's. If that's the case. That ended in a real. Just, just like way crazy tmz. The start of the article was like, she came in like a lion, came out like a lamb. That's tough. I didn't like that. That's. I mean, it was so. The whole case was so nuts. I can't believe we're one week from trial and then this in the settlement and no money. Crossed hands. Damn.
Ria
That's it then.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria

Fran
I appreciate him always trying to go all out to match Sierra.
Ria
You know, he'll never be up to her.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Standard. No, in my opinion.
Noah
No pun, Intent, like.
Ria
Yeah. No, but he does try. He does. There's just, in my opinion, a bit of a swag gap between Ciara and Russell Wilson. Yeah, there is.
Fran
There is. Here's the thing, because you look at couples like A$AP and Rihanna where it just clicks. And A$AP has that fashion side and he can match Rihanna's fashion. I think when Russell tries to do it, it's like he does works like 80% of the way. Right.
Ria
And that's always been the joke about them, about Russell Wilson for sure. It's like he's kind of like a cheesy guy. But he. He tries hard.
Fran
And I do really like. I do like the, like, detailing on the shoulder that he's got. And I. As far as past looks, I do think this is one of his better, better ones. And she looks incredible.
Ria
I agree.
Fran
I love this look from her. Really, really cool.
Ria
Russell Westbrook. I love this blue.
Fran
Yeah, it's a great blue.
Ria
And Russell Westbrook, like another one in gap. He's just hot.
Noah
He is.
Fran
He is. You know, and you know what? I appreciate when the athletes say, I'm just not gonna wear a shirt.
Ria
Yeah. And it's like, well, fine.
Fran
Yeah, exactly. You got that. The abs are the accessories.
Ria
You worked hard.
Fran
You know, the abs are the accessory. Ms. KIKI P. This red number.
Ria
I really love the red.
Fran
I love the dress, too. I don't. I kind of wish she didn't do the red hair with the red dress.
Ria
See, I actually disagree. I like the red hair.
Fran
Actually. You know what? Now that I'm looking at it closer.
Ria
I don't love the makeup.
Fran
It's the eyebrows.
Ria
I don't love the makeup.
Fran
It's the eyebrows.
Ria
But I really. I do like the hair. I like the dress and the shoes all together.
Fran
Yeah. She has kind of like that. That it's just very arty. Like the straight drawn on eyebrows, which are. Yeah.
Ria
Hudson, Williams, we were all rooting for you.
Fran
Yeah. And you know what? He's kind of in that phase right now, and I'm not. I'm not knocking him because it's like you can't say a bad word about these two. And I really do. I think he's great. But the amount of praise I saw for this look, being like he. He ate again. I'm like, guys, what?
Ria
No. This.
Fran
Look at all these comments.
Ria
Right.
Fran
Everything's positive.
Ria
And because I love him. I was going to say that I loved this look.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Just.
Fran
Just because about it too.
Ria
Just because I love him.
Fran
Just cause. And I was a little afraid to say I didn't. Right.
Ria
But this makeup.
Fran
No, the makeup's bad.
Ria
Is bad. This is bad makeup.
Fran
Yeah. He said he got some inspiration from Black Swan, which. Sure, we see it, but it just. Yeah.
Ria
I don't know what's.
Fran
I know. To be honest, I really think that I would have liked the look way more without the makeup.
Ria
I totally agree. I just didn't. I do not think the makeup was needed.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I appreciate him taking a risk for his first Met Gala. I think it's very fun. But the makeup was unnecessary for this or the type of makeup that this was.
Fran
Correct. Correct.
Ria
Because it looked like a preschooler did it.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
You know. Oh. Oh.
Fran
A knock.
Ria
Genuinely a knock. Jaw dropping. Stunning.
Fran
Stunning.
Ria
And especially when you see the videos.
Fran
Oh, my.
Ria
And the zoom in on her face.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
With the tear. The teardrops.
Fran
The makeup.
Ria
The makeup was makeup. The best of the night.
Fran
Yeah. By far. Oh, my God. It's stunning.
Ria
It is so absolutely stunning. I mean, this is how you do.
Fran
Yeah. The whole thing behind this. And she always crushes the Met Gala. She really, really does. And this whole thing is just incredible.
Ria
This is how you do Met Gala makeup.
Fran
I actually am rendered speechless when I look at it.
Ria
It's.
Fran
Because it's really a work of art.
Ria
It really.
Fran
Like that is a work of art.
Ria
I would love to know who did that makeup.
Fran
Makeup. Oh, my God.
Ria
Because it is just. Wow.
Fran
Oh,
Ria
yeah.
Fran
You could tell me she was AI. I believe you.
Ria
You. I'm so with you. Because when I originally saw the videos. I was like, please don't tell me that this is an AI video 100. Because it is just.
Fran
It feels like that because it's so insane.
Ria
So one of the best of the night.
Fran
Really, really, really incredible.
Ria
Best makeup by far.
Fran
Yeah. Margot Robbie.
Ria
Pretty disappointment for me.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. And it's. You know, I'm. I'm actually. I've reached the point of not being disappointed because I'm just used to her not really committing to a. To a carpet where I just know she'll always look stunning, and she will. And the dress is beautiful, and her hair and makeup is beautiful, and she looks beautiful, but it's not anything out of the box.
Ria
Just so boring.
Fran
Gigi Hadid also kind of didn't do it for me.
Ria
I agree with you. I feel like it had to go all one way or the other.
Fran
Yeah. And unfortunately, this is another one where, like, on Social, it looked better. Like, on her feed, like, it. The. The See through the sequencing, the sparkles, the flames looked a lot better than it did on the carpet.
Ria
And I don't.
Fran
I don't love the. The size of the underwear with it.
Ria
It was thick.
Fran
Like, it was obviously a choice.
Ria
Right. It kind of goes. Your eyes go right there.
Fran
Yeah. Because it kind of is, like, bunchy.
Ria
Right. But this was Mew Mew.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And I feel like that's sort of the style for Mew Mew.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
The underwear.
Fran
Yeah, it is. This is just, like, minimal effort in my mind with her, you know, because
Ria
she usually goes, like, pretty all out, I think.
Fran
And this just. This seemed like she. It was more. I. I'm gonna go.
Ria
But this is what I'm given.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Camilla Moroney is another person that is also just so stunningly beautiful. And her Met gal looks are normally very just. I'm wearing a beautiful dress, which is exactly that. Hunter Schaefer and Prada. This was another one where I saw it on the carpet. I went. And then I saw what the source material was. I said, fantastic.
Ria
Exactly.
Fran
I die for it. It's amazing.
Ria
Once you see. Because it is really interesting. So you kind of think, okay, well, this has to come from somewhere totally. Right.
Fran
And I'm clearly unfamiliar with most famous pieces of art.
Ria
Yeah, I see it.
Fran
I was like, oh, listen, duh.
Ria
I. You know, I don't think we should be ashamed of that. No, I don't. Because I don't. Like, it takes really, some special knowledge to be able to call these things out.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And people do. I am jealous of the people that can.
Fran
I Applaud all the people that can do it. She wore this gorgeous Prada look that was also inspired by another Gustav, my guy, Gustav Klimt. Learning a lot, which was the Mata Primavesi painting. And when you see them next to each other, it's just fantastic. So you gotta applaud it. There, they nailed it. Paloma, she's a model. This, I just like. This dress is gorgeous. Really want to acknowledge how stunning this dress is. Once again, work of art. The details, the painting, the colors, the structure, the. The. Everything. Gorgeous. I love this from Lisa.
Ria
This was so cool.
Fran
This was really cool. Really.
Ria
I think that it was a prediction that there was gonna be a lot of this going on.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
With the appendages coming out of people's arms and legs and the whole thing. So that was really cool. From Lisa.
Fran
Really stunning. And this is a.
Ria
Because it's an optical illusion.
Fran
It really is. And I love that it, like, held that. It held that veil over her face was really, really cool. This was a Robert one piece. And he'd crushed all of his. The. Everybody he dressed for the Met, I thought was really cool. It was different. It was like dramatic, crazy silhouettes. I really liked it.
Ria
That had to have been heavy.
Fran
Had to have been. I mean, that's where. And if you see that, when you see the back, it's like she's strapped into that.
Ria
She's strapped.
Fran
I guess, like, Victoria's Secret angel situation where, like, you're. You're really, really locked into that thing. That is really cool.
Ria
No easy feat.
Fran
He also dressed Naomi Osaka, who had, like, the coat and then the big reveal of the dress underneath. And also Jordan Roth, who had that, like, being over his shoulder, which was really, really cool. Anne Hathaway. Pretty. I thought people felt like she's already moved on to the Odyssey.
Ria
That's true.
Fran
You know, like, she's like Devil wears product 2 promo is over. We're headed into the Odyssey.
Ria
I didn't love this.
Fran
Yeah. I was very iffy on it. Middle of the road. I'm like, 50, 50 on this one.
Ria
I'm just like,
Fran
yeah.
Ria
You know?
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I didn't think about it again after I saw it.
Fran
Sorry, Joe. Alwyn looks so bad. I know. I'm, like, being mean, but looks like Prince Eric. But, like, if Prince Eric hasn't slept in four days.
Ria
Aw.
Fran
Sorry. But that's purposeful. Like, that's, like, purposeful makeup, you know?
Ria
Yeah, you're right.
Fran
Which. I'm like, you didn't have to go that route.
Ria
Right. Right. Gave Us. Sleepy eyes.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Lily Rose. How short is she?
Fran
This guy. This has got to be an unfortunate angle.
Ria
She's not short because she looks so short in that.
Fran
She looks so short in that picture. I felt that way with. I felt that way with some of the pictures of Janelle Monae as well. And she's in that. Like, that dress was also a contraption. And when you see certain angles, you're like, oh, my gosh.
Ria
Yeah. She looks so short.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Besides that, I thought it was just like, pretty, but I wasn't.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Like, I'm not blown away by that. Okay.
Fran
Somber. Pop off. Somber.
Ria
I thought he looked incredible.
Fran
Loved it. Different, funky way to bring it. He, you know, he takes good fashion risks. I really love it.
Ria
I thought that was really cool.
Fran
I did too. I like it a lot. Eileen Goo. I want to talk about this dress because at first I thought as she's walking and there's bubbles around her, I thought, oh, my God, she must have someone just blowing bubbles behind her. Someone's got like a bubble machine. So that. And they're like on the ground blowing bubbles. The bubbles came out of the dress itself.
Ria
That. That really amazes me. Like, so the fact that somebody can build a dress, have bubbles come out of it, and as she's walking the cart, bubbles are just following her.
Fran
Isn't that. I'm thinking about it, but then I
Ria
started thinking about during the party, like during the actual event.
Fran
Is there an off button? Is there?
Ria
Yeah. Can she turn this thing? Is there a remote control?
Fran
Is there an off button? So this. I wanted to read it. The Arrow dress is dissolving around Eileen Goo. At the met gala. Creating cow. It was. This was Iris VanHerpen. In response to this year's theme, the atomic anatomy of the human body, made up of 99.9% of empty space, is reflected through floating iridescent bubbles hidden within the garment. Microprocessors precisely coordinate the release of pressured gas and bubbles. Sequenced through a dedicated digital interface and calibrated to operate autonomously, 15,000 hand formed iridescent glass bubbles are individually bonded in place with UV light, releasing constellations of floating bubbles that drift in the air. Like, I don't even know what that all means.
Ria
That's. It's so much.
Fran
So cool.
Ria
It's so well thought out.
Fran
I love. They said. They also ended by saying no CGI or AI is used for this video of her with all the bubbles floating around.
Ria
So cool.
Fran
Hero finds Tiffin, one of my favorite men, because, my God, is he handsome.
Ria
He looks gorgeous.
Fran
He looks great. He looks great.
Ria
Love that he grew up.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you think it's the goatee? Like.
Ria
Like, oh, my God, he has a goatee now.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He looked fantastic. Oh, I want to. I want to talk about Joey King, because while the dress didn't necessarily pop so much for me, she's. She's never looked better.
Ria
I have to acknowledge Joey King looks stunning. And, like, I won't stand for Joey King's slander. Neither will I just randomly bully Joey King for no reason.
Fran
Neither will I.
Ria
The way that people will just tear apart Joey King for no good reason at all.
Fran
The hair.
Ria
Great actress. Seems like a good person.
Fran
Oh, this hair on her is phenomenal.
Ria
So good.
Fran
She should be a redhead, permanently.
Ria
Yeah, that's a really good color.
Fran
Really good color on her. And the makeup that pink blush is.
Ria
It's working for her.
Fran
So good.
Ria
All of it. All of it is really.
Fran
Just never looked better. When I see arena shaking outfits like this, I'm like, good for you, girl. You know, like, you can. You can wear that.
Ria
Yeah. It's like giving Emily Ratajkowski.
Fran
Yeah, it's like, you wear it because you can.
Ria
Right? For sure. Like, you know, show it off.
Fran
Same. Exactly, exactly. You do it because you can. Cara Delevingne's was, you know, pretty black dress.
Ria
I'm just, like, happy to see her.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Doing well, she seems like. Because, remember, there was a period of time that it was dicey for sure. But so she looks.
Fran
And the back of that dress was very prettier than the front, like, the back details.
Ria
Heidi Klum went full Heidi Heidi Halloween
Fran
when Heidi Halloween did not hold back on the costume element.
Ria
My favorite is all the pictures of her pretending to be a statue and, like, scaring people like her. There's a picture of her in ASAP Rocky was a prank. There's pictures of her and ASAP Rocky that I might make my film background. Like, the way that she committed to this so hard. This theme was built for Heidi Klum.
Fran
It really was.
Ria
This is one of my favorite pictures ever.
Fran
Oh, my God, it's so funny.
Ria
It's so fucking funny.
Fran
And she really did go all out. Where at one, like, half of me is horrified, and half of me is like, I love it.
Ria
No, I love it.
Fran
I'm like, you know what, Heidi?
Ria
So on theme.
Fran
And when people want. Every year, everyone's like, I hope people dress on theme. I hope people go all out. I hope people show up. And you know what? She fucking did it. She Went all out. The horrified comes from just like the eye situation is like, ah, but it's so cool.
Ria
So it really does.
Fran
I mean, just in terms of looking like a statue. It's. She looks rock solid.
Ria
She looks rock solid. You would never know. That's Heidi clip.
Fran
Yeah. Never. It's actually so good. Connor's story.
Ria
It's gonna be me in a halter top this summer.
Fran
Yeah, just. Just a few more trips to the gym. This will be me. And then this will be me. This will be me when I keep
Ria
doing my bench press.
Fran
Oh my God. Also, like, I will say though, I did catch him on the carpet on the stream. And when he took his jacket off, even I went, ooh. Like, I went, ooh. Okay.
Ria
Arms. This is someone who like really takes care of themselves.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
You know what I mean? Like you gotta just appreciate someone who has crafted themselves. Like he takes care of himself.
Fran
You're right.
Ria
You could just tell.
Fran
And I love the look.
Ria
Yeah. I think that this is really cool.
Fran
Without the jacket's way better.
Ria
I like it without the jacket. Yeah.
Voicemail Callers
Yeah.
Fran
Y.
Ria
Took the words out of my mouth. I. I think it's way better without the jacket. I think it is a little similar to what Hudson wore for maybe Vanity Fair. But Hudson wore that sheer halter.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Ria
If we could pull up that, if I remember correctly.
Fran
No, you're definitely right.
Ria
See, it's. It's very similar to that.
Fran
Cuz it has like a, A, A sort of a scarf situation.
Ria
Right. And then just into the black pants.
Fran
That's. Yeah. Well, I do. I. I really like this look though.
Ria
I like it.
Fran
Yeah. Janelle. Janelle Monae and Christian Siriano. This is what I was saying also before on the intro that I did catch Christian Siriano and. No, no shit. Because he made this like during the E coverage. He was sort of like, I'm bored so far.
Ria
I'm bored.
Fran
And everyone was like, ah, like no, no. And. And he sort of doubled down on it. I'm like, I don't blame you when you're fucking making shit like that.
Ria
Right. Actually from girls Gotta eat. Post on her story. That one draw in your house that has everything.
Fran
Yes, Yep. And of course there's a lot more into the vision of this that I'm gonna butcher. But like the debate of AI and technology with the, with the, with the earth and the environment, everything. And it all coming together in this dress is really, really cool. And this was another one that I thought, my God, this has gotta be heavy.
Ria
Oh yeah, gotta be heavy. Every look, I go, how do they sit?
Fran
You can't. You can't sit in that. Like, you can't. You have to change immediately when you.
Ria
There are so many that I'm like, there's no way.
Fran
I know. But this was really cool. I did like that a lot. Patrick Schwarzenegger kind of looked a little bit like, you know, the. You know, the guy in Charlie's Angels that, like, sniffs hair in the first Charlie's Angels.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Sort of.
Ria
Kind of the vibe I got. Not loving that one.
Fran
Yeah. The cane may be a little unnecessary. Olivia Wilde.
Ria
I don't know. This one didn't make much sense to me. I'm not gonna lie. I originally thought it was just a plain black dress, which would be a huge. No, no.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Then you turn around, but it would have been better. I think. Whatever. That was. A butt bump. Yeah. Butt attachment. But I don't quite get it.
Fran
Yeah. You know, like in the original Cinderella, the evil stepsisters wore those dresses and had the biggest big thing on the back. That's what that looks like.
Ria
Because it's like, goes above it.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I don't quite get it.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
So that's how I feel. Yeah.
Fran
I did see someone say on. On Instagram the fact that, like, like, has River Riverdale lore gotten Camila Mendes the permanent Met? And it seems so.
Ria
Yeah. She's there every year.
Fran
It seems so. Ben Stiller in his orange tie looks
Noah
like he's going to a bar mitzvah.
Fran
He really does. And unfortunately, his wife.
Noah
That's literally, like, what my dad probably looked like in my bar.
Ria
Right. Because Christine Taylor is weari blue.
Fran
And I really do like. Yeah, they're. They're completely in matching Nick's colors. And I do like the dress. I just.
Ria
The hair, I really don't like any part of the look. Really? Like, for the Met Gala.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
For an award show. Yes. But for this. No.
Fran
Maya Hawk was a tough one for me. I did not like this at all.
Ria
No. This one didn't make much sense to me either. For the Met Gala.
Fran
No, I know. I just.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Everything about it, it just really did not like Sarah Pigeon. Another one pretty, but nothing out of the box. Katy Perry wore this fencing mask.
Ria
Right. It is giving Parent Trap.
Fran
It very much is. And then it. This cracked me up because as she was walking, she just opened it up and revealed her face. And there was something about not being able to see her hair and just, like the center just being her face. That. That. That gave me a good giggle. I'm sure there's a lot more to the explanation of this dress. It looks like the back of it is maybe, like, burnt or supposed to be burnt in some way. I see that now, but I'm not. I'm not quite sure fully what is. What the message was with that Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster hit the carpet. I was just talking about them on Monday. They. They look lovely.
Ria
Classic black talks hue.
Fran
No, I know. They look lovely. There's not really someone who's into the art lovely and lovely in the Met gal is, like, derogatory.
Ria
Yeah. Like someone who's so into the arts. Like you.
Fran
Right. Little something funkier. Yeah, I just, like, you know, they seem happy. That's nice. Nice. I just want to mention that this woman's. I. I don't know fully the details about her, but I saw on Instagram that that necklace she's wearing was like $15 million.
Ria
Oh, my God. Yeah. Wow.
Fran
Yep. Just want to. Just want to throw that out there. Zoe Kravitz, co chair in Saint Laurent. Gorgeous. I love the silhouette of this dress. Wasn't, like, too crazy?
Ria
No, she. She looks stunning. I love this, but I'm not blown away. But I really liked it.
Fran
I did really like it.
Ria
She hid her left hand the entire night.
Fran
Yeah. But it did seem from the inside, she wasn't wearing it. Like, she had her hands out. She didn't have the ring on, but
Ria
on the carpet, it felt like she was purposely, like, doing a little cheese, like, oh, I'm gonna keep this.
Fran
And you know what? In my. In my head, every single picture of her in the after party, it's. Every picture to me seemed like there were people being like, congratulations. You know what?
Ria
We're stuck in the head. I had the same thought. I was like. I imagine everyone's going up to her congratulating.
Fran
They're just pictures I get. But immediately my thought was that everyone was going, oh, my God. Congratulations, by the way.
Ria
We didn't talk about.
Fran
About this.
Ria
There's no way Harry will be at Taylor and Travis's wedding. He has shows.
Fran
Oh, duh. Perfect. We're going right. The week before. Yeah. Yeah.
Ria
He's still gonna be in London.
Fran
Still gonna be in London. You're so right. You're so right.
Ria
It is the perfect excuse. He's probably pumped.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Like, oh, we don't have to ask for the awkward plus one.
Fran
Yep. You know, Sam Smith and. And Lena Dunham both had very extravagant looks. I. I appreciate this look from Sam Smith. Brings the drama. That's about It.
Noah
That's not such a funny tweet. That was like Travis Kelsey really went all out.
Fran
That's funny. And. And unfortunately for. This is, you know, an explosion of red sequences, feathers. It's Nicole Kidman, right? It's this.
Ria
It's the same material spin off of Nicole Kidman's dress.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know who the. Sorry, I'm. I'm. I don't know. This is where I feel bad because there were some dresses that I was like, whoa. But I don't necessarily know exactly who some of these people are. She is an artist, I'm pretty sure and I've been seeing her all over my TikTok. Jessica. Yeah. She is a British fashion designer and founder of the luxury brand. She has her own brand. She hand painted that dress herself.
Ria
That is really cool.
Fran
Yeah. Like full talent. Like. Yeah, that's very incredible. I thought that was so cool that she painted that all herself. She was doing those tick tock series of like watch me pay my Met gal address.
Ria
That's awesome.
Fran
Yeah. This. These two crazy Yuchi.
Ria
Yep.
Fran
Another person who I'm completely unfamiliar with, but what. Like that's a work of art dress. Holy crap.
Ria
Stunning.
Fran
She. I was googling her. She is one of those ladies that just like collects couture and tech investor, entrepreneur, haute couture collector. Is her Instagram bio. And my God, was that dress stunning. Inspired by the winged victory of Samothrace. Samothrace. It's custom. Jean Paul Gaultier. I mean, it's unbelievable.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
That is quite so cool. This one. I loved the hands.
Ria
I like the hands a lot.
Fran
I love the hands. I didn't love the skirt too much, but like the hands were really cool.
Ria
I do love the concept.
Fran
Yes.
Ria
Of. Of the whole thing.
Fran
I do. I do too. There was just something about the skirt that like, I don't know, something about the skirt I didn't love because the top is such a statement for sure. But I thought that like the top was really, really cool. This was another one that was, I believe, Robert Woon and like I said, absolutely crushed. I feel like everybody who dressed. This is where I started to see like, I'm like, oh, we got a lot of the appendages and a lot of his. It was all him, really. A lot of his looks were like that. That was real. The hands all over the dress like that. Really thought that was cool.
Ria
So I think we went through it all and I think there were some.
Fran
Our personal standouts.
Ria
Our personal. I think that we. That there were Genuinely. Some huge standouts that really hit the mark. And then a lot of in between of like, that's pretty. Yeah. And they look gorgeous.
Fran
Totally.
Ria
There's nothing to be like, wow, that's spectacular. Totally. And nothing too offensive.
Fran
No, like, nothing.
Ria
Nothing where it's been like, oh, that is.
Fran
Cardi B. Was really the only one. Cardi B.
Ria
And honestly, Kris Jenner, like, I really. Kris Jenner is really up there for, like, worst dress for me, right after Cardi B. Yeah. But besides that, nobody else. I mean, I saw some people that are not that, like, famous that I was like, okay, why would you wear that to the Met Gala? But what we're talking about from here, nothing too much of like that.
Fran
No, definitely. And you can kind of get the vibe from when you see certain designers and who they dress and the energy that they were going for. Like, a lot of the Saint Laurent looks were pretty understated besides, like, maybe Haley's was the most. Lavish is not even the right word to describe it, but just, like, colorful. Like, it was just different. Different elements. Different elements to it. And you can see sort of like themes that certain designers went for and the looks and everything. And I just thought there were. There was definitely some. Definitely some great ones. I feel my. My best dressed is Emma Chamberlain, by far. Chase Infinity, Kylie Jenner, Lisa, maybe, I don't know, Kendall with the full wing. It goes. It falls in there a little bit
Ria
more Anoke, just makeup wise is just to die for.
Fran
Absolutely.
Ria
But, yeah, I'm in agreement with you.
Fran
Yeah.

Voicemail Callers
Hi girlies.
Voicemail Caller Alyssa
And Noah. One thing that I'm honestly a little curious about is this new Dancing with the Stars finding the next pro show and how exactly it's going to work. Obviously last season Sasha, who had been a pro for a long time, wasn't really a pro and honestly I think the whole situation was kind of weird how they would like bring him on to do tiktoks and behind the scenes he was like there but not really there. And I guess I'm just curious like whoever wins this show and they're going to become an ex pro, where does that fit into the show? Do we think maybe they know someone is leaving? I don't know. I think maybe the only person I could think of would be if Whitney decides she wants to step away, especially after just winning the mirror ball, maybe she feels like that's a good time to leave. But I don't know. I'm just curious to see your thoughts about this. I also just think that you can't just add another pro because those first few weeks and those first few episodes are jam packed. Like each star and dancer already only gets about not even a minute it feels like to dance. So I just don't can't imagine how they're going to fit another pro into this. So curious if maybe you think that there's another pro that is going to be asked to leave or can't come back or doesn't want to come back and how this is gonna work. Fine.
Fran
You know what's interesting is I think that there have been like it's been pretty consistent through the seasons that not every pro comes back. People sort of come in and out. I think they work with the stars when they do the cast and they try and pair the stars with the best suited pro and sometimes there maybe isn't a fit for a certain pro and then they're not on that season but they're always like still kind of in the family. There's certainly been some that have been like phased out or they're in it every once in a while. My guess is if they're doing this whole new show, they already know somebody's not coming back.
Ria
Right. I mean, maybe that person's Gleb.
Fran
But even if it wasn't Gleb, it could be one of the. Like, it could be one of the other women. Sometimes they. Sometimes people want to season off.
Ria
That's true.
Fran
Sometimes there's other, like, family things that happen where they don't. Where they maybe miss a season.
Ria
Right.
Fran
So I don't know. It's interesting because it's like, you had people like Lindsay Arnold, who was on. Oh, my Lord, Olive. You had people like Lindsay Arnold, who was on a ton of. And then you kind of, like, took a break. It was on and off, and she's, you know, started a family and is doing all these things now. And it's like, I'm sure the door is open where if she maybe wanted to come back, maybe she could. Or, you know, Riley's been. It's where. And I think. I feel like I thought they were gonna make Haley a pro.
Ria
Maybe there'll be multiple changes. Maybe people want to spend some time, more time with their family.
Fran
And I don't think it's out. Like, I don't think they're locked into a certain amount of. Of stars every season. I could see them being a little
Ria
flexible on that, especially with how big it's gone.
Fran
Yeah, exactly. Where maybe they're like, oh, in order to put this new pro on, we need one more star. Like, they'll do that. I don't think that they would not do that.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
But I'm still really curious about the whole format of the show. And when exactly is it on?
Ria
I am with you. And I think they announced it, like, but Robert Irwin being the host, even though he won, it's. It feels random.
Fran
They just love him. But that's, like, the same. It's like, you know, Joey won, and they were like, podcast hosts, you know?
Ria
True. Right.
Fran
They just. They. They got their guys, and they love you.
Noah
Get a job if you want.
Ria
Right. It's like, oh, how can we integrate you into the show for the rest of your life?
Fran
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Ria
Like, I thought.
Fran
I'm not sure if they filmed it already.
Ria
Oh, they did.
Fran
It's premiering July 13th.
Ria
Oh, nice. So around the time that they're doing the Con.
Fran
Yeah. By the way, rumor has that ABC is bringing the Bachelorette on this summer.
Ria
Yeah, there were rumors, I think reality Steve was talking about that they apparently
Fran
heard that they're gonna air it this summer on abc.
Ria
That would be something.
Fran
Which would be something. Because then I wonder if if they're like, oh, we just won't do paradise.
Ria
Oh, yeah, you know, that could be.
Fran
And it could be that. But yeah. July 13th on ABC and Hulu, he There is 12 dancers in a house vying for a spot as a Pro on season 35. And it's being judged by Mark and his mom, which I also love.
Ria
That's fun.
Fran
Shirley Ballas. That is so. I'm excited. I'm looking forward to the show and to see how, how it turns out. But yeah, I, I think they could just add another press, like, and be like, whatever. Oh, we got whatever. However many it is this season.
Voicemail Callers
Hey, Ria, Fran and Noah. I know you guys just got back from your vacations with the Michael Jackson movie coming out. I was wondering if you guys had seen it yet and if you did, what your thoughts on it. I saw it a week or two ago and I can't stop thinking about Michael Jackson. Like, he's all over my tick tock. He's all over everything. Like, I keep listening to him. My softball team can't stop listening. And I just, I feel really bad for everything that happened to him. And also I really regret, like, not being alive in the 80s and he
Ria
was in his prime.
Voicemail Callers
Let me know your
Ria
have not seen it, but I've seen mixed reviews. Mixed reviews. I've gotten a ton of Michael Jackson videos on my for you page lately. Yeah, I have a complicated view of Michael Jackson. I think everyone does, which I think is common. But I think that there are people who just blindly love and support Michael Jackson and they're like, everything that anyone could possibly say about him is so untrue and false and so outrageous. But on the other side of that, it's like, well, he did have a little kid sleep at his house in his bed, you know, and we don't know. I mean, there were a documentary and there have been allegations, but then there are people who say, no, never. So it, it's just very complicated. I think Michael Jackson like it. Yeah, it is so incredibly confusing to me.
Fran
I, I'm with you on that. And I actually, I saw a girl on Tik Tok that came up on my for you page that I really, it really resonated with me because she was like, we were around the same age and she was like, I feel like there's a really confusing relationship with Michael Jackson for my, like, millennial age range. Because maybe you grew up with parents that loved Michael Jackson and you knew him kind of in that sense, but as a kid, you weren't super familiar. And then when you kind of did become familiar, that's when he was really being mocked in the media.
Ria
Yes.
Fran
And he was like, kind of turned into a joke. Like the. The south park of it all. The, like, the. I. She was like, he was kind of like the first Internet meme. Like, it was like they. The way that. That was interpreted. And so that kind of, for our age, it was a very confusing view on him because there were some people that were like, he's the king of Pop. Like, the. The dying. Love and respect was there for him. But now for our generation, people were sort of like. It was like not taking it seriously. Kind of came like a joke, which in itself is a bigger picture of how that happened to him. And I'm sure that is kind of what she's referring to, too, is like, oh, you feel bad for a lot of these. A lot of these moments. And, boy, we were. We. We remember when he died. We remember everything after. Remember the allegations, remember the. The holding his baby over the balcony. Like, there's just. There's a lot. But also confusing things.
Ria
The way that he was mocked and presented during our time was a way to, like, be scared of Michael Jackson. Like, Scary Movie. Like, Remember Scary Movie 3 with Michael Jackson and him losing his nose? And like, all of those things definitely played a part in how we viewed Michael Jackson. Yeah. And often times I think people feel bad for him. But then I think there's the other layer of it where you're like. Like any person says they. Oh, any grown person saying that they slept in bed with little kids.
Noah
That's the thing with this movie is that they're only showing it up to a certain point, and they obviously don't acknowledge anything bad that he could have done.
Fran
It's like, well, I mean, he's being played by his own nephew.
Ria
Exactly.
Noah
Like, they're controlling the narrative here.
Fran
This is just like. Right. I did see some people being like, it's kind of just Michael Jackson propaganda.
Ria
It's just incredibly confusing. I think, when it comes to Michael Jackson. Like, I.
Fran
It's.
Ria
Yes, he is undeniably one of the most talented humans to ever exist. I think that goes without saying. But there is just so much that's left up in the air from a movie standpoint, too.
Noah
From what I'm hearing, it's basically they're just recreating all his music videos, but there's no story or anything. It's just. Why wouldn't you just go watch the actual Michael Jackson do it?
Ria
Yeah, but I. I'm not, like, running to see this movie. I'm not, you know, if. Yeah.
Fran
Let me tell you something. It is funny because the Michael Jackson fans, I'm sure, have. Have taken over this. But the Rotten Tomatoes is a 39 critic score. 97 audience score.
Ria
Well, Michael Jackson has, like, any huge artist like Michael Jackson and, like, an undying fan base. Like.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
You say.
Fran
I think everyone's really impressed with Jafar and how he played him.
Ria
Question Michael Jackson.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And you think to yourself, I'm the crazy one for questioning Michael. Like, you know, but it's. That's how some people act about it.
Fran
Yeah. People are like, look, the movie's made for people that are fans of him and have been, and they love his music. And it's an ode to all of that.
Ria
Like, at one point, he literally was like, I have them over. I feed them milk and cookies. It's like, what?
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
You know, this.
Fran
This review says people will want to hate this because of what's not in the movie, and that's fair. But judging this film purely by what's on the screen is actually not a bad film. Yeah. I really think it's such, like, a. You already have such an opinion. But ba. In, like, that's been pushed on you by media or when you were growing up or all these things that you sort of have, like, a cemented feeling about him that when you go for those that, like, loved him in their childhood, they're gonna love the movie. And we're also talking about. Learn something about it. Maybe you didn't really know about anything about him.
Ria
We're also talking about somebody who died in a way that, like, he was basically, like, he was murdered.
Fran

Hi, Rhea, Fran and Noah. This is Alyssa from Connecticut. My hot take isn't necessarily pop culture, but I know you guys movies in the movie theater sometimes, so I felt like you might have a good conversation about this. I just went to see the Devil Wears Prada too, and my hot take has nothing to do with that. It actually has to do with popcorn. The person I was sharing my popcorn with doused it in butter and I realized that I had an incredibly hot take of movie theater popcorn is ruined by adding butter to it. I think it makes it like wet and soggy and absolutely disgusting. And I think it's the worst thing that you can do to such an absolutely delicious snack. And I am just curious your take on how you take your movie theater popcorn because it really does make or break a movie.
Fran
I.
Voicemail Callers
My movie experience was ruined by the butter. So, yeah, let me know.
Fran
You know, this is a hot take. It is a hot take.
Ria
This is a high take.
Fran
I'm sorry that your popcorn was ruined, but I would be right there with the person who ruined that popcorn because maybe there's a level to it. Douse. Am I dousing it in butter? No.
Ria
No. But am I hitting the machine?
Fran
But I'm holding that button for a good few seconds.
Ria
Obvious. Like I'm obviously hitting the machine.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Ria
And then I'm pouring chocolate on it.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Like I'm buying chocolate candy and dumping it into the popcorn with the butter.
Fran
And I know I've talked about this years and like years ago, but if there's for. This is a callback for our listeners that have been around for a long time or are not for our newer listeners. But I know people do this by using. I use the soda straw and you put the soda straw into the popcorn and you use the butter dispenser. You line it up and then the butter just drips down to the straw so that you get the butter on the bottom of the popcorn.
Ria
Because sometimes it's like changed my life.
Fran
You use a lot of.
Noah
I never understood how that. Wouldn't it just be going to one center spot?
Ria
Because you kind of drip it in there.
Fran
Oh. And you kind of move the straw around and it's just so that like. Because when you pour. Yes. Some of it does trickle to the bottom. But I find that when you just pour a bunch of butter on the top of the popcorn, it all sits in the top.
Noah
You gotta like, you just pour it and then you like circle the thing around and shake the popcorn each other.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
But sometimes it's all spin eggs on a pan. But it's too full. I'm losing, I'm losing.
Ria
You gotta take a couple handfuls.
Fran
I'm losing kernels. So I'm not. You know that just like when it's
Noah
expensive, you put the chocolate and if it's overly full, you gotta like eat
Ria
some popcorn and then you put the chocolate.
Fran
I'm telling you, you put the straw in and then you can also just like slowly lift the straw out and then this. And then the butter just kind of like goes through the whole thing.
Ria
It is safe to say that we disagree with you.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. I appreciate you calling it a hot take.
Noah
Everything better.
Ria
Butter 100 makes everything better.
Fran
Butter's fantastic.
Ria
It's one of the best, best inventions of ever is butter.
Fran
Butter really does make everything better. And it deserves to be on movie popcorn.
Ria
I agree.
Fran
Maybe not doused. I get what you're saying. If you're picking it up a couple extra napkins and if Your hands are, like, soaking wet. Yeah, I get it. That's kind of gross.
Noah
You don't want to be soggy.
Ria
Yeah, no, no, certainly not. But maybe that's something.
Noah
When you're ironing, you can't stay in one spot too long, you know?
Ria
Mm, absolutely. Absolutely.
Fran
You're ironing a lot, huh?
Noah
No, that's. No, I'm not. Because I don't trust myself.
Ria
Because he'll douse it. Yeah. In heat. But maybe that's something you need to take up with your movie theater. Maybe they have bad popcorn and that's why it's getting soggy.
Fran
Well, it's really the person she went with.
Ria
Right.
Fran
Fucked her over.
Noah
You add salt?
Ria
No.
Fran
A little bit.
Noah
Sometimes I do. Like a tiny bit.
Fran
A little sprinkle.
Noah
Yeah.
Ria
Butter me up.
Fran
Yeah. Let's do one more.
Voicemail Callers
Hi, Ryan, Fran. Love you guys. I need you to help settle a heated debate for me between me and my best friend. Who's more famous, Justin Bieber or Harry Styles? Obviously, I think it Justin Bieber. He has more star power. The history with his discography. He's been in the game for so long. It has to be Bieber, right? My friend thinks it's Harry Styles. She thinks because of the history he has with One Direction and because of the success that group has had. Also because of the way women fond over Harry Styles, she thinks that it has to be Harry. I think Beaver clearly has more star power and is the winner. So let me know who you think it is. Also, this is Ashley. I was at your Minneapolis show. It was great. So I'm excited to hear your opinion.
Ria
I think it's Bieber, and I really don't think it's discussion because I just automatically think to, like, my grandpa.
Fran
Like, I. I always go to generation,
Ria
and I'm just like, everybody knows who Justin Bieber.
Fran
Is. Totally.
Ria
And I don't even think it's a question.
Fran
I think. And this is not an insult because God knows I love that man. But there's times when I still think, like, Harry Styles. People are like, oh, which one from One Direction is that? Like, they. You know, sometimes that is still said
Ria
with the old generation.
Fran
Older. I'm saying with the older generation, they're like, oh, they'll recognize maybe the name One Direction. And they're like, oh, that's the guy. That kid from One Direction. Justin Bieber's never had any.
Ria
It's it. He was always just a solo act.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And so it's just Justin Bieber.
Fran
And he. And I also just think The. The. The tabloid noise and the controversy and whatever. Like, he's just so much more discussed. Harry Styles is certainly beloved right now, but there hasn't been, like, chaos around him.
Ria
Harry hasn't had the ups and downs that makes everybody.
Fran
Bieber has had, like, up and downs that everybody. Like, he has been conversation for everybody. Like, everybody's. Ah, you see what Bieber did last week?
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Like, that was always happening. Harry's in this phase right now where, my God, like, he can do no wrong. And he hasn't really done much to ruffle any feathers.
Ria
No, it never. So it's Bieber hands down.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Noah
Is there anyone close to Bieber, like, like, in terms of, like, current artists, like, male. I mean, obviously top.
Fran
Yeah, I was gonna say male or
Ria
female, if I'm just going male, because obviously Taylor Swift, but, like, no, like, currently. No.
Noah
Yeah. I'm trying to think, like, I don't know, like, worldwide.
Ria
Like Justin Timberlake. Yeah.
Noah
I don't think. I think Harry Styles is closer than Justin Timberlake.
Fran
I'm gonna say something crazy and I. I don't even really stand behind it that much, but I'm just thinking of the older generation and although I guess maybe they wouldn't know him too much. Maybe I'm just thinking of, like, my own grandparents. Like Bruno Mars.
Ria
I mean, that's not that I. That's not a crazy.
Fran
I do kind of think everybody sort of knows Bruno.
Ria
Everybody knows Bruno Mars.
Noah
Super Bowl.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Yeah. Bruno Mars is huge.
Fran
Yeah. I mean, Bad Bunny's up there too.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
Just in terms of world worldwide, but yeah, I kind of, you know, everybody
Ria
knows Bruno Mars, but Justin Bieber's just been around for so long.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ria
And he's still so famous.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
So we'll lock that in.
Fran
Yeah, definitely.
Ria
