Red Carpet Highlights & Notables

  • “Kendall in Zac Posen for Gap…when you see that on Zac Posen's Instagram, that is the full spread of the wings, it’s one of the best of the night.” (45:35, Ria)
  • “Kylie…This is the undressing—such a unique concept…perfectly on theme. Schiaparelli. Fucking stunning.” (47:27, Ria)

[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.

[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]

Okay, guys, it's grit week. This is the part of the football calendar where nobody's watching, but everything gets built. Early mornings, pads back on conditioning, film reps. 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. Because grit isn't about being flashy. It's about being ready when it's time. To go check out the current offers and build your [e-mail]. that's Silverado. All grit, no quit. And you can build your [e-mail] today.

[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.

[Ria]

[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]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Like, his doctor killed him. So when you talk about some, like.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

When you talk about someone who could be, like, problematic in a way, but they died.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Then everyone, like, tiptoe.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But if Michael Jackson. If Michael Jackson was still alive.

[Fran]

Yeah. It'd be different.

[Ria]

I think it would be different.

[Fran]

Yeah. For sure.

[Ria]

So I think it's confusing.

[Fran]

Yeah. I. This is a movie I. I'm not running to. I've already been pretty vocal with the long list of movies I need to go see.

[Ria]

Yeah. This one's on the movie theater.

[Fran]

I will. I would like to see it. It just probably isn't what I'm gonna see in theaters.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

[Voicemail Callers]

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]
