Ria
You like that, Franny? Cisco, baby.
Fran
Yeah, that's what they're calling it. Or as I like to call it, San Fran Disco. One of my favorite songs.
Ria
San Francisco is, is a, is a vibe I was trying to hold on to last weekend. But we're going into this weekend. Friday energy indeed. Brought to you by Planet Fitness. You know how we're feeling? Feeling strong.
Fran
Always.
Ria
Good.
Fran
Always.
Ria
Exactly. I'm, I'm feeling great going into this weekend. I am in San Francisco for a quick trip. Quick trip. Got in on Wednesday, leaving Friday morning. Back to. Back to New York, here to compete in the dozen.
Fran
We're back.
Ria
Experts are back. It's been a while, which I'm excited for. We have celebrity guests, which we were talking about. We talked about on Wednesday, because Bobby Bones is my team's celebrity guest, and we have, like, actually been getting the funniest dms from girls that. And it's sweet. Like, they have. They have his back. But, yeah, in my mind, I'm like, do you think I'm a monster? They're DMing me saying, oh, my God, I love you girls, and I love him so much. Please be nice to him. I'm like, do you think I'm going to slap him in the face when I see him at the dozen? Like.
Fran
Like, big bully.
Ria
Yeah. Just, like, be. So. Of course I'm going to be nice to him. In my case, I'm going to be extra nice because I'm afraid that he's going to be like, I know. I know who you are.
Fran
What do you think? We're a bunch of assholes?
Ria
Sometimes it's crazy. I'm like, you think I'm just going to be a jerk to this guy's face?
Fran
No, we just talk bad behind your back, not in front of it.
Ria
And everyone's like, he's so great. He's so great at trivia. He's such a nice guy. I'm like, I have no doubt. I have never been on, like, the. He's a bad guy. I just, you know, he. I didn't like that he won Dancing with the Stars. That's all there is to it.
Fran
And that's okay. And. And like, we were saying on Wednesday, you can totally meet someone and be honest about what you were saying about them, and I think it's fine. Like, we have met plenty of people before in the past where I've been like, oh, yeah, I was talking about you. Because I like to get it out of the way.
Ria
Totally.
Fran
So it's not something somebody wants to hear. Obviously, when you hear somebody say that to you, you're a little. But then you go, oh, but it's, you know, really great to meet you in person. I'm just kidding. You know, whatever. Do it for the show. And if people work in the same sort of, you know, he's a radio show. He knows what it's like to, like, talk about something, and then you meet the person and you have a different feeling.
Ria
Exactly. So it's gonna be a lot of fun. It actually just got announced that the Booze ponies who are playing first. Their celebrity guest is Adam Devine.
Fran
I gotta be honest, I can't wait to tune in. I got jack shit going on.
Ria
I started cracking up. I immediately sent it to Joe because I'm like. And I sent it to Jeff, and I was like, jeff, I don't think, you know, the amount of Adam Divine lore I have in my life, like, I don't think you fully get it. I was like, one. The Re and Fran Get Engaged episode, We're Engaged, plus Adam Devine interview, which, you know, started it all. The fact that at. At our rehearsal dinner, Joe's co Best man just, like, roasted him. And part of that was reading some commentary he found from Reddit, which, you know, only has the nicest things to say about people. And he said.
Fran
He said Joe was a gay Italian.
Ria
Gay Italian Adam Divine, which we were all absolutely belly laughing at.
Fran
And then.
Ria
And then we go to the super bowl in New Orleans and the Eagles win. And we're at the bar after the game and it's late, and Adam Devine and his wife are in the bar, and I'm like, we're all feeling no pain. I'm like, oh, my God, Joe, you gotta go take a picture with Adam Divine. So I have this picture of Joe and Adam Divine. They're both bombed. Like, it's like, I don't think Adam Divine would even remember the interaction because we were just like. And I'm trying to, like, spew out this story of, oh, my God, I had our wedding. It's just like. It's just too much.
Fran
And Joe looked more like Adam Devine in that picture with Adam Divine than Adam did.
Ria
Yes.
Fran
Which is hilarious.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
The. The Adam Divine lore runs deep, especially with your husband, which is so funny. Oh, my God. And you're. And like, Joe has an Adam Devine type of personality.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
They're funny guys.
Fran
They're funny guys. And it adds to it even more. It's so funny. I actually forgot this happened. Remember when we met one of our listeners and they said that Joe, like, seems like he's maybe like a quiet, mysterious guy. And I literally burst out laughing. And I was like, that's actually hilarious that you think that about Joe. Because Joe is the most outgoing. Yeah. Like loud. Like, I don't even know. Not loud in that way. But, like, he is.
Ria
No, he takes up. He takes up a room.
Fran
One of the most outgoing people, if not outgoing person I have ever met.
Ria
No, absolutely. And like, for him, it's an inner joke to himself that he. That he thinks he has this, like, mysterious aura to him, and that's just. I'm gonna keep this going.
Fran
And we. We've been joking around more and more, or Joe has been joking around more and more about. Because we are. All. The four of us are going away at the end of February, and Joe's like, could this be. Could this be the trip with the podcast? And we just keep saying that we're just. It's just because we're afraid Joe's gonna outshine us.
Ria
No, he's just so funny because it's all. But he just loves to dangle that, like. He's like, yes. It'll be so fun. I'm like, you're not actually gonna do it? And he's like, you know, I know.
Fran
He's.
Ria
He's like. He's way too scared to actually do it, but he loves to say that. He'd be so good at it. Also, if you're watching on Zoom, I'm so sorry that you have the fudgeing Voldemort face coming off Professor Quirrell's back of his head and. And Sorcerer's Stone behind me. Like, what? That painting is legit terrifying. I don't know what it is. In the hotel room.
Fran
I.
Ria
It's robotic. Like, it looks like a robot.
Fran
It does. It looks like. A little bit. Yeah. Now I'm. I thought it was, like, him coming out of the snow or something. Now I see it was, like, pixelated.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah. I'm.
Ria
Yeah, but it doesn't. It makes me think of Voldemort's head on the back of it.
Noah
Kind of almost looks like the. The Night King from Game of Thrones.
Ria
That's what I was. Yeah, that too.
Fran
Yes. But then I realized it was, like, computer chips.
Ria
Yeah. So I don't know. There's, like, a lot of weird faces in this room, which I don't love.
Noah
No.
Fran
That's pretty exciting. In a hotel room.
Ria
Pillow in the corner of this side also has faces on it.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Which I'm not a big fan of, but it's all right.
Fran
That's all right.
Ria
You all have to look at this thing behind me.
Fran
That's okay. I'm looking at your pretty face. Not.
Ria
Not the scare guys terrorizing me, but yeah, just, like, really quick in and out. Super bowl week is always pretty crazy. There's so much going on. You're walking past people in the hallway. It's like everybody records in the hotel. Like, the different podcasts have different rooms or areas, so it's like guests coming in and out. You're walking and you're like, oh, my God, here's this person, here's that person. And I always joke about this because I am such a big football fan and we've gotten to interview so many, like, amazing celebrities, big names, a list celebrities. But then when I'm in, like, the football world and I see these people, I'm like. Like, I get nervous.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And it's just so funny because I'm like, I don't really. Like, why do I need. Why am I so nervous?
Fran
Like, because you're a fan.
Ria
Yeah, I am a fan. I am. I am.
Noah
Speaking of football, I want to get your opinions. You saw that Tom Brady, like, won't say that. He's, like, rooting for the Patriots.
Fran
Yeah, clearly.
Noah
Don't you think that's.
Ria
Wait, why won't he say that?
Fran
He said he has no dog in the fight.
Noah
He has no dog. And it's like how like, your former teammates, the coach you played, that's your team. And he won't just say.
Ria
He's really shade.
Fran
I think he has people weird.
Noah
They're like, piss.
Fran
Yeah, I think he has some weird thing with the Patriots. Like, I think he low key hated his time on Robert Kraft, right?
Noah
No, him and Robert Kraft are good. I think. I think people are really thinking that he doesn't want them to win without him because that'll, like, somehow, like, take away from what he's done. Like, if Drake may.
Ria
I think so. That's. And if it is, that's lame and selfish.
Fran
That is lame.
Noah
Oh, other people.
Fran
You're retired. You should be, like, rooting for it.
Noah
No.
Ria
Like, is it because he's like an announcer and he wants.
Noah
Well, people are like, oh, well, maybe unbiased now the Raiders and like, is an announcer, but, like, that doesn't have any. He's not announcing this game, right, is he? No, he's not announcing this game.
Ria
No.
Noah
Because the Raiders aren't playing.
Fran
Who cares? He's a loser.
Noah
Like Teddy Brusky. And like, his other former teammates are all like, I have, like, I don't get why he's doing that. But, like, I'm rooting for the Patriots.
Fran
But listen, I don't know, maybe too much Botox got to his head or some shit. I don't know. I'm in a roasty mood right now. Oh, my God.
Ria
I'm just. Listen, I like, you just threw that out there. Noah tried to go right past it. No one tried to go. He's Bringing up other players. He's going right past it.
Fran
Something. Sometimes I say shit. I don't even mean. Like, I was just like, I'm gonna throw that out there. Listen, here's the thing. I'm home at my house, my parents house on Long island, and friends away, Matt's away, and I'm bored as hell, all right?
Ria
Like, I. So I'm acting up.
Fran
I am. Everyone's left me, and I came to help out my sister because her husband's away for work. So basically, we're parenting Luca together. And, you know, I just put him up for a nap while I record. And, you know, I'm waiting for him to wake up. Hopefully he doesn't wake up in the middle of this. Keeping an eye on that. My sister's working downstairs in the basement. So, you know, we got a kind of thing going on right now. And I'm just bored as hell.
Ria
Like, you know, like, I just.
Fran
I'm like, what do I do here? You know, when you're just, like, not in your place?
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And there's no one even really around, and I'm like, besides, when Luca's awake, then we play. And, you know, we play or we don't. You know, he's. He's moody, but I'm just saying shit, because I'm like, what else, you know?
Ria
I feel you.
Fran
I'm excited for you both to come home.
Ria
Like, I'm excited to come home, too.
Fran
I want you to come home. I want Matt to come home. Like. Hello? Where is everybody? I went to the doctor this morning. I went to the gynecologist and just, you know, to check out my. Make. Make sure everything's working properly. Get the whole thing. Get the whole shebang.
Noah
When you said that at first, I. I took it literally just now.
Fran
Check out my. No.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
No, no, not literally like that. Although as soon as I arrived to the doctor, I was like, I gotta go. But now. But I had to, like, hold it in. That's besides the point. But I got blood work taken to check out my. I got. I got an ultrasound. I got a transvaginal ultrasound. Okay. You ever get one of those?
Ria
No.
Fran
Where they stick the wand up your nose?
Ria
Yeah, I know.
Fran
Yeah. That's how my morning started. Hello. Good morning.
Ria
You know, they gotta get a good. You know, you need to get a picture of what's going on in there.
Fran
And honestly, I wanted them to take a good look because I have been needing a checkup and everything looks good.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
So. Well, I have a sister. Well, you have A.
Ria
You have a sis.
Fran
But to me, that's. To me, that's normal.
Ria
Assist. Assist for you was just another day at the office.
Fran
It's another Tuesday, honey. But they said everything else is looking good. So. Happy to hear that.
Ria
And, yeah, you're just, like, living that home life where you go home, you go to the doctor, and then you're just, like, in your house.
Fran
You're like, right. And I'm like, what the.
Ria
What else can I do? Yeah.
Noah
You know, there's a big event happening this weekend that I'm going to.
Fran
What's the event?
Noah
Meet the Breeds. It's the.
Fran
Oh, everyone, wait.
Ria
Gia really wanted to go.
Fran
Well, I will say multiple days, it sounded like you were inviting me and would love to accompany you.
Noah
My whole family.
Fran
My husband. No, it wouldn't be awkward. I love the Ives, but my husband is coming home on Saturday, and we have dinner plans with our friends. So that is something I'm very much looking forward to on Saturday night. But, yeah, this week is just like, I do. I want to.
Ria
I got to get to meet the breeds. I watched all the. The Westminster.
Fran
I.
Ria
The fact that I'd also never been to Westminster is crazy to me. Like, they do it at msg. I watch every second of it. I'm, you know, texting all my friends, and Penny the Doberman won this year, and my God, what a gorgeous dog. I just want to take a second to. To congratulate Penny the Doberman because she was stunning. My family was texting about her because we were talking about best in the show. We're like, who's going to win this? And my dad's like, this Doberman is just a stunning dog. And I'm like, you're right, dad. She really is. There's a Chesapeake Bay retriever in there, and it's so adorable. I don't. This is, like, a little Mariano family lore that, like, probably isn't funny to anybody else. We've had an ongoing joke for years that if my mom was a dog, she'd be an Afghan hound. It's just, like, one of those dogs. It's just, like, tall and regal, and it has, like, long. It has a long. Some of them have long red hair, and they prance. They just have this beautiful prance. And we're. And my mom, at first, we kept the joke going because she was first, like, insulted, because I think she just thought we were like, you're a dog.
Fran
I don't know. Right. We were like, everyone has a dog that they would be like, mom, Take.
Ria
A look at this dog. I'm telling you, it's a compliment. This dog is so regal and beautiful and you're seeing all the behind the scenes because the dog was in best in show and she's getting brushed. My friend was sending me videos because she was working the event. She sent me a video of the dog and the handler was using some color. Wow. Dream coat on, on the dog, on the dog's brush. With a brush and a straightener like this, you know, they had the full treatment. She had her, her ears pulled back and like little bangs coming out. I'm like, this dog is absolutely, this dog has better hair than me. This dog is gorgeous. So seeing all that was, was so fun. But it's just beautiful event with all the dogs coming to New York City. They go to msg. It's just like gorgeous. It's gorgeous. So thrilled for Penny the Doberman. What a stunning dog. I love when, when the lady dogs win and she is just, she's on a big, you know, press tour now. She's on Good Morning America. She's doing the whole thing.
Fran
Penny didn't want to stop by like Miss Peggy.
Ria
I would have fucking loved to have Penny come in. Honestly. We should start doing that where we get the winner. Listen, I, winner of Westminster comes in for an exclusive interview which would be absolutely, absolutely amazing. And I love that they said that she's probably going to retire from shows now because she's been working her little butt off and she loves being with people and being pet and now like maybe she's just going to be a therapy dog. Amazing.
Fran
That is sweet.
Ria

Fran
Speaking of people doing their press rounds, we did have the Miss Piggy interview come out, and it has been released on socials. The reaction to it was hilarious to me because we had a ton of people being like, oh, my God. And then we had a ton of people being like, never hypes. Never hype up something like this again.
Ria
I had a girl write into my Q and A that I was doing on Instagram on my flight because I. I was bored. And she wrote, was you saying that all your co workers freaked out about this rage bait. No, honey, it wasn't like, I literally, like, we didn't make up that our co workers were lined up outside of the office ready to take pictures. I know it seems like we did, but. But we really didn't.
Fran
We didn't make that up. Listen, the Miss Piggy socials had people unhinged. I'll say this, I knew I was bored yesterday when I was looking at the Miss Piggy socials and decided to click the comments. And I saw someone wrote, rhea, are you pregnant? And I was like, God damn it. My. My face is a little swollen one day, by the way. I know. I talked about going to the gynecologist at the beginning of this episode. I am not pregnant.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And that is not something anyone should be thinking. I am for years. I'm not planning to have any kids for years.
Ria
Okay.
Fran
So, no, I am not pregnant. And I was just a little bit swollen in the face. God damn it.
Ria
You know what's also what also gets me? I know. You know what also gets me? And we have to address this as well. From Wednesday's episode, we'll talk about this. You know, Re and I had a brain fart where we forgot how smart list works. We'll address that. But part of that and that whole segment was us talking about how it feels kind of crazy when women are constantly asked, like, when are you going to have kids? We talked about on Wednesday. That was another thing that I probably had a bajillion submissions on my Instagram. Are you going to have kids soon? Are you planning to have kids soon? Kids soon. Question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark? Are you gonna have kids soon? I'm like, did I. Did I just not talk a day ago about how it's crazy when you're. When you just ask somebody when they're going to have kids, are you going to have kids? Are going to have kids. And, okay, fine, if you're going to. And some people are nice. They're like, hey, this may be a personal question. Just wondering if you are someone that wants to have kids.
Fran
Right.
Ria
Like, I'm fine with that. You want to talk about if I do or don't want kids? I'm happy to chat about that. But when you're like, kids soon. I'm like, okay.
Fran
It's like, right.
Ria
It's a lot.
Fran
Like, it sometimes feels like people, like, are really pushing it, like, are you going to have kids soon? It's like, well, why do you care if I do or don't? And I think it's just because we got. We just got married, so people just assume the next step is like, well, they're obviously going to have kids very soon. Yeah. And that's just not the case. And it's really frustrating. And it's really frustrating as a woman who, like, myself, sometimes can deal with fluctuations where, you know, my face sometimes looks a little bit fuller and sometimes it looks a little leaner, and that's just the way the cookie crumbles with myself. And you got people chiming in, being like, are you pregnant? And I don't want to have to answer every time and be like, no, but the answer is no. And, you know, now I'm telling my business and being like, well, yeah, no, Matt and I are not planning to have kids right away. We are planning to wait a couple years. And that's the honest truth. Yeah, stop asking. You know, it's like they. It's. It's the commentary, and then sometimes people think that they're, like, complimenting you. She's glowing. Is she pregnant? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Maybe I'm just glowing. You know what I mean?
Ria
Yeah, I. I totally get it. I just thought it was funny, like, the. The short amount of time of talking about us being like, you know, Charlie XCX is totally fine if she doesn't have kids. It's kind of crazy that Jason Bateman was like, maybe you'll change your mind and have kids if you meet the right person. It's like, well, it's kind of just an inappropriate ask. Most of the time it is asked. And then I was like, that's just funny.
Fran
But, yeah, literally, we were like to.
Ria
Say that, but we really were going in on those smartless guys, and then we were like, oh, both of Us, like the whole premise is one person knows who the guest is, the other two don't. So can we blame the whole scenario? It's like that's kind of what they, they do and they learn about the guess as as they go on. That doesn't negate what. That doesn't negate the line of questioning from Jason Bateman. But more so us being like Dante research, I guess, right, was us being sassy, wrong assholes. Like, we were just wrong.
Fran
So it was wrong. And I was honestly really disappointed in myself because I don't like the gang up mentality. And I felt like I just did that. Like, I was just like, oh, there are a bunch of idiots who didn't research. And I'm like, yeah, okay, well, you're an idiot because you just did what you accused them of. Right?
Ria
We did that.
Fran
So now you're an asshole. Yeah, that was, that was a silly mistake. We did the exact apologies because that was a mess up. But honestly, on the topic of the kid thing, like, it's fine either way, right? Like, yeah, we are people who chose to get married and not go right into having kids, and I think that's completely fine. But if you also are somebody who got married and wants to have kids right away, I fully support that as well. My, my brother and my sister in law got married. A couple months later, they were pregnant and that's what they wanted to do. And that's great. It's like, it really is whatever. You and your partner decide what you want for your life.
Ria
Right, but exactly. It's just everyone's right to make their own decision based on their own family and what's best for them. And there's no specific perfect timeline. That's a universal thing for everybody. Everyone decides these things at their own time, at their own pace, at what's comfortable for them. And everyone's allowed to do that.
Fran
It's the perfect timeline for you.
Ria
Yep, exactly.
Fran
So.
Ria
That'S that.
Fran
And that's that. And when are we gonna get on board with women's bodies and faces just fluctuate from literally day to day sometimes and not automatically assume things.
Ria
Yeah, yeah, no, that's. That is, that is very true. But yeah, yeah, it is crazy on the top.
Fran
Sorry. My, the blood I got taken today is making me feel feisty.
Ria
Right. You're, you're not working at 100, but you got, you got to replenish.
Fran
I do, I do have to replenish because every time I get my blood taken, I have to tell them or like I've gotten an IV in the past or whatever, which I just don't do anymore because it's a nightmare for me because my veins are really no big deal, but my veins are really small and tiny, and I have to have a pediatric needle when I get blood taken or whatever. And every time I tell somebody that, they, like, laugh at me and they kind of like, okay. And then they look and they're like, oh, you really do. Like, they think I'm lying about it, I feel. And I'm not.
Ria
Yeah, you're not. You're not. You're not, you're not. But, baby, you know, I had a. I had a hysterical flight on the way here because. Just surrounded, you know, going to. Going to the Super Bowl. It's. There's people around all the time. You see. You're seeing folks. Everybody's getting on very similar flights from. From jfk. And I get on my flight, and Gary V. Is to my right. And did he.
Fran
Did he give you a motivational talk while you were laying there?
Ria
No, but it was funny. One of my. One of my friends was like, I'm sorry, I just gotta know, like, was he relaxed on this flight? Like, I know that's. It's like. Like, was he. Was he, like, sitting and watching a movie? And I was like, honestly, no. He had a couple of. From what I think, like, maybe some guys that he works with were with him, and they were. They were hustling on that flight. I had my headphones in, so I'm not. I wasn't really listening, but they. There was some. There was some chatter happening, and Caleb Herron was sitting behind me, who I have not met. I think he's so funny. Here's my thing with flights, because it's like, do you want to talk to somebody on a flight? And I'm always in the mindset of, I am so happy when someone says hi to me. But then I get. I'm like, I don't want to bother someone, you know? So I'm like, I'm laughing because west was also my fight, and he was across the aisle. And I didn't realize because I sat down and Wes was like, wait, do you see, like, he was like, Caleb sitting behind you? And I was like, oh, my God, I've never met him. I got nervous, and then, like, they had known each other, so I didn't say anything either. But it was. It was. It was a funny flight.
Fran
Do you feel as almost. If you can't escape west these days?
Ria
He's everywhere he's like, it's funny. He. He is. We were joking. He's like my new bestie. I. He. Summer House premiered on Tuesday, and he was on Fallon, like, doing really. He's just doing, like, some really cool things.
Fran
He is. He is doing some great.
Ria
Yeah, he's doing some really cool things. And I think he was out pretty late the night before the flight. And, you know, we get on the plane, and he's, like, texting me, and I want. Every time I went up to the bathroom, I was like, he is out. He was out. And you know, like, when you can just pick up on. On little things about people pretty quickly. Like, he immediately. He's like one of the guys that. I'm like, this guy loses his AirPods all the time.
Emily
I can tell.
Ria
And, like, we shared an Uber because one of our other friends was on. On the flight with us as well, and we shared an Uber from the airport to the area where all the hotels are. They're staying somewhere else. And, like, twice in the car, he was, like, shuffling, like, ah, my. My AirPods case. Like, whatever. I'm like, oh, this is definitely, like, the kind of person you are. Then Wednesday, we were at the same event, and we were sitting on the couches, and then, like, 30 minutes later, I came back because I had left my coat in my purse, and when I lifted my coat, there was airpods underneath my coat. And I'm like, are these west?
Fran
Like, it's like the case of the missing airplane.
Ria
Seriously. And by that point, he had left, so, like, I didn't. And I gave them to, like, one of the kids that works on his. On his team. And I was like, look, I don't know if these are Wes, but I think they are. And I text him this morning. I was like, do you have your AirPods? He was like, fudge. No, I think I lost the.
Fran
By the way, I have them.
Ria
I think I have. I think I have them. I gave them to this. You know, I said his name. I was like. And he was like, holy shit. I'm like, honestly was. From the four seconds that I've traveled with you, I just assumed they were your AirPods.
Fran
That's funny.
Ria
He does.
Fran
He does seem like the kind of guy who. One, always has his AirPods because he loves music.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And two is always losing his AirPods.
Ria
Yeah. Like, he had his in the car. He had his AirPods in his hand. And then he was like, oh, fuck. Like, my case. And they were like, in the cup holder. And I'm like, How did they. How did you even put that in the cup holder?
Fran
That's why I'm a wired headphones gal. I have gone back to wired headphones. And it's not because of the Bluetooth thing.
Ria
Yes.
Fran
It's because I lose my AirPods. And for me, having wired headphones.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
I kind of just know where they.
Noah
Are at all times because they get tangled. That's so annoying.
Fran
It's a kind of like a vibe. Yeah, that's.
Ria
Why does it take to untangle 10 seconds?
Fran
Like 2 seconds? Untangle them?
Noah
No, but I think it's more of, like, an aesthetic thing that people are like, it's cool to have wired headphones.
Fran
I didn't. I didn't wear wire headphones because I think it's cool. But now that I do wear them.
Noah
I'm like, yeah, you like. You see, Harry Styles is wearing headphones.
Fran
I feel kind of cool wearing.
Ria
Oh, man. There's a balloon floating past the window.
Fran
Oh, make a wish.
Noah
Is that a thing? Make a wish for a balloon.
Ria
I don't know what it's a. It's like a foot. It's a football balloon.
Fran
I don't think.
Ria
On the ground floor of the hotel, there's like, a little restaurant. They have all these, like, football themed balloons.
Noah
Oh.
Ria
Oh, there it goes. Oh, are you.
Fran
Everyone, Everyone make a win.
Ria
It's just floating past the window. I wish to work on chicks in the office forever.
Noah
You can't say it out loud, so there goes that wish.
Ria
Yeah, there goes that dream, honey.
Fran
No, I was being dead serious. Oh, no, I was just saying Noah's wish out loud.
Ria
Yeah. No, it's like, please, please, please.
Fran
I never want to be away from these girls forever. Imagine when we're like, 73 and.
Ria
And Noah's still single and.
Noah
Yeah, I'll be the single uncle.
Ria
No. At that point, let me tell you not to, like, not to pressure you or anything. And I know we just literally went through this conversation of, like, having kids and whatnot. And I feel like guys get it when they get to a certain age and they're just asked all the time, like, are you dating? Who are you dating?
Fran
Like, when are you gonna get a girlfriend?
Ria
The amount of people that asked me about Noah's dating life these days has never been higher.
Fran
I think I got asked all the time. I mean, constantly in my DMs, I get constantly, like.
Ria
But I just. People being like, is he in a relationship? And I'm like, oh, no. They're like, does he date? I'm like, yeah, yeah. It's just. They just want to know, like, they're. They're. They're worried for you, I guess They're. They're like, help. And then they go like this. And then they go like this. They go like this.
Emily
How.
Ria
How old is he again?
Noah
Like, you don't fucking know. Like, I didn't do a 30 before 30 list.
Ria
Okay, I know, I know.
Fran
I don't think there's anything to be worried about. I think Noah and has his private personal life where he goes on dates and the whole thing.
Ria
But some way, my answer is always like, Noah's doing his thing. He's good.
Fran
He does his thing. I think sometimes Noah doesn't want a girlfriend.
Noah
Obviously, if I did, I would have. You don't think I would have had one?
Fran
He's like, shit, I would have a plethora of them.
Noah
I. Yeah, Like, I'm.
Ria
Yeah, literally, Noah.
Fran
I know. Personal choice.
Ria
This is the quote, Noah Ives, because also, I saw Brie do an interview recently where she said basically the same thing. It was like, her people being, like, talking about, why don't you have a boyfriend? She's like, if I fudgeing wanted a boyfriend, I've had one, I'd have one tomorrow. Cosign.
Fran
Bri.
Ria
Cosign.
Noah
No, I think, yeah, if I want.
Ria
A girlfriend, I'd have one tomorrow.
Fran
Okay, that is true. You could, like, he just.
Ria
Clearly, it's like I'm singularly chasing not to.
Noah
I don't know. I'm an extremely, extremely picky person in every aspect of my life, which, you know, maybe that backfires, but.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Hey, but the ladies are wondering. They are inquiring.
Ria
They are.
Noah
Well, then inquire to me. Don't inquire to them.
Fran
That is true.
Ria
You know, and I just like, you gotta get through us first.
Fran
But I guess. Yeah, yeah, you want to get to know him. You're not gonna date our brother without knowing us first.
Ria
Yeah, you want to get to know. You're gonna have to talk to us.
Noah
Like, if these are girls that are, like, asking for themselves and ask me if you're like a married woman. Mind your own business.
Ria
Let me tell you. No, no. Is making. Noah's got the jokes today. He's also feeling a little feisty. The two of you. The two of you feeling a little feisty? Everybody's home on their own. Everyone's feeling a little feisty. Noah was getting a little feisty when we were recording trivia.
Fran
I think it's because we're like. We're like, people behind our computers just saying whatever the we feel like. Because we feel safe because we're behind a computer, by the way.
Ria
No, that's the clip that's making it onto the View this week.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
And if you're married, mind your own business, bitch.
Noah
Yeah, like. Like, maybe you should look inward if you're worried about my relationships as maybe worry about your own.
Fran
Where's your husband?
Noah
Yeah. Why are you dming a podcast producers fucking?
Fran
You're honestly bringing up, like, a really valid point.
Noah
I'm like, in what world would I be like podcast? I listen to being like, hey, what's the status of this person? Like, why do I care?
Ria
I'll be. By the way. No, it is coming from a loving place. When I brought it up, it's like, it's like. It's like people in my actual life. Like, it's not like random people that I don't know saying, are they.
Fran
Are they single? Or is it. Or is it Laura, Your mom doesn't count.
Ria
No, but she does ask all the time.
Fran
I was. My mom does Fair.
Ria
My mom does ask every time I see.
Fran
My parents asked that too.
Noah
Listening. And I just was like, mind your own business.
Fran
Oh, my God.
Noah
No. I'm asked enough by my grandpa. When's. When are you going to have a wife for me? And I'm like, oh, but that's what every grandparent does.
Fran
Yeah, but your grandparents want to, like, be able to.
Ria
Yeah. You know, by the way, that video of your mom bringing all the fosters to your grandparents was the cutest thing I've ever seen.
Noah
Yeah.
Ria
Goodness gracious.
Fran
Mind. This will stick with me for a long time.
Ria
Mind your business. Did Baloo get adopted yet?
Noah
No, I. Hopefully I meet her or meet him this weekend.
Fran
Okay.
Noah
Good to go home for the.
Ria
Oh, you should meet. Oh, you're gonna watch the game with your family. Yeah, the big game. With your family.

This was big news. Just announced on Instagram on Thursday, Molly May and Tommy Fury are expecting their second child. Molly May is pregnant. She posted on Instagram a video of them she wrote, soon to be four. And there's really not much to say besides happy for them if this is what they want.
Ria
Congratulations.
Fran
Congratulations.
Ria
Yeah, and I totally, I totally feel like it is. I think that they're at least, at least Tommy side coming from people with big families, lots of little kids running around. Obviously. Tommy's brother Tyson has a lot of children and Molly May, I just, I'm just happy that it seems like they've worked through a lot of their issues. I actually have to catch up on her show because I think she just had three more episodes come out in like the last few weeks. It's like they're so sporadically released that it's hard to keep up with when they're coming up. And it's only like, it's only three episodes. It's only ever like three episodes at a time. And they're kind of short. But in the ones prior to that, it was definitely kind of like she's trying to figure out where she and she and Tommy are at and if he's, you know, dedicated and working through his issues and, and is there to support the family. I'm very excited for them. They just took a lovely vacation, it seemed, together. I saw them posting about how amazing of a, of a time they had, like over the holidays. And I feel like Bambi needs a symbol, needs a sibling. Feel like there's A lot of attention on Bambi and sometimes that helps when there's. When there's a. When there's a sibling in the mix. She's very. Molly's very open with sharing her, you know, day to day mom moments.
Fran
Yeah, you're right. From what Molly has shared, it seems like Bambi is sort of a handful. But I guess, you know, she's a bit.
Ria
She's a kid.
Fran
She's a baby.
Ria
Baby.
Fran
She's also their first child. And I think that's the case for literally everybody's first kid would be like, they're, you know, a handful. You know, she was biting people. And I'm not sure every kid does that, but they do. Some do.
Ria
Some do.
Fran
Some kids are out there biting people. Bambi's one of them. And if your name's Emily, you better watch your damn back because she's coming for you.
Ria
Subjectively, one of, like the funnier videos that have come out.
Fran
Like, just niche. Niche video. You gotta look it up. Probably on TikTok, type in Bambi, Emily biting. You'll find it immediately. Basically, Molly Mae and Tommy Fury's daughter was just set out to bite this poor girl Emily and. And mentioned him multiple times. It's funny. I'm not gonna do it for yourself.
Ria
Yeah, yeah. It's just like, you know, it's one of those kids. Kids say the darndest things, you know, where it's like your mom being like, well, well, Bambi, you're not going to. You're going to. But she's like, I am.
Fran
Luca said sexy earlier, which we were really stunned by, because it's pick up everything. No, but my sister was like, we're not really a household who says sexy often. And then she goes, you know what mom does?
Ria
She totally does.
Fran
She is totally someone who is like, you look sexy.
Ria
Yep, yep, yep. She is.
Fran
She is. He has right now. I took a video for you. Has an obsession with pickles. So he's just like, pickle, more pickle. And then he'll bite and go, spicy.
Ria
Smart kid.
Fran
Smart kid.
Ria
He's learning, you know, he's picking up on these things already.
Fran
Yeah, he's loving.
Ria
His pickles are elite.
Fran
But it is funny. Like kids. Kids say you're like, where the hell did you even hear that? I don't know.
Ria
The darndest things. They made a whole TV show about it.
Fran
I don't know if Ms. Rachel's saying the word sexy. Like.
Ria
No, no, she's probably not.
Fran
Probably not. But so.
Ria
Yeah, yeah.
Noah
Oh, my gosh.
Ria
That's crazy.
Fran
But excited for the two of them.
Ria
Yeah. Exciting news. Yes, totally. I'm very, very happy about them because I just feel like people love to speculate on her. Talk about people speculating on women's looks. Molly May gets it like nobody have ever seen. It's kind of crazy. Yeah, it really is. So it's just like, oh, my God. I feel like all the time, I'm just like, it must be. It must just be so exhausting for her.
Fran
That is also, though, where these people that do this on the Internet think they have a right because people have been saying lately, oh, Molly Mae looks like she's pregnant. And in my head, I'm like, why? I haven't. I haven't even noticed that. You know, Like. Like, I was like, I didn't notice that. And then because she is pregnant, they're like, see, we know. We always. Yeah, but this one totally did. Yep. And congratulations to them, though. I'm there. They're working it out.
Ria
Absolutely.
Fran
Moving on. A Gossip Girl writer, Cecily. I'm going to screw up her last name, and I feel really bad about it. Is writing a sequel about Blair having to do with Gossip Girl and Blair? And you know what? Here's the thing. It's like, let's just take anything that we've had and redo it or repackage it or make it a prequel or make it a sequel, and we're going to change the character around. And by the way, I'm not interested in a sequel about Blair if it doesn't involve Leighton Meester, if it's not late in Meester playing Blair and it's a new Blair Waldorf. Keep your sequel.
Ria
Sorry, Biden. Your Blair Waldorf. Just like, maybe Blair Waldorf.
Fran
It came. By the way, it came out wrong.
Ria
But I felt like I was thinking.
Fran
About the Waldorf chicken salad I eat earlier.
Ria
Yeah, you were just saying it with a lot of conviction.
Fran
And.
Ria
And it's fair, because I get what you're saying. Immediate reaction is, you see, oh, they're making a book. Okay. But the book. Is the book going to be made into a TV show? Because that's really where everybody's brain goes. But she's just writing a standalone novel called Blair, and it's just going to be about Blair when she's older. 20 years after that. It's supposed to be 20 years after Gossip Girl. So Blair Waldorf's in her 40s. Details are under wraps, but expected to follow. The former NYC socialite, she returns to the Big Apple to climb her way to the top of the Upper east side food chain. I, you know, I'm intrigued by the. By the story for the book. But do you think Leighton Meester's like, fuck?
Fran
Exactly. So a novel? Fine.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
But immediately your brain envisions Leighton Meester.
Emily
Yeah.
Fran
So you're kind of like, is she going to be attached to this in some way? Is she going to be on the COVID of the book? Like, that's where my brain starts going. And it's like, well, I don't want a new Blair. Right. Because then if they were to adapt this into a TV show, which they probably will, like you said, which is why Leighton Meester's probably going, God damn. Damn it. I am tired of being asked about Gossip Girl.
Emily
Yeah.
Fran
And they want to shove me back into it. Yeah. Yeah. She's probably like, fuck, Right?
Ria
And it's also like, I just find that she. And maybe it's just, like, her vibe, but every time she's interviewed, there tends to be, like, awkward questions. And I can just imagine now that anytime she does an interview, she's gonna be asked about this, and she's gonna be like, guys, I don't. I don't know. Like, the author's writing a book. I have nothing to do with it. I don't know if it's going to be made into a TV show. They haven't called me, and I don't even. Like, I'm not trying to be Blair again. Probably I. I'd imagine, is how she feels. Not that I think she has disdain for the character or anything, but I. I think that chapter is closed. Like, they did the Gossip Girl reboot where they brought it back with young people, and it's like the older cast wasn't involved in that. And maybe Blair would think about it because it's like, oh, would Blair just. It would just be late me. So she doesn't have to worry about any of the other cast members coming back, and it would be that. But I don't know. She's doing so many great things right now that it's like, oh, man. But I just know solely for the fact that she's going to be asked about this 9 million times now. It's like, ah.
Fran
Totally. You're spot on with that. Because we did talk recently about when she's asked about Blair. How would Blair respond to this? She's like, yeah, I'm not Blair. I'm Leighton Meester. Stop asking me. Yeah. And now it's going to be like, do you have any Involvement in the. In the Gossip Girls Writer, Writer. Sequel about Blair. And she's gonna go, no, I don't have any involvement, but I'm sure it'll be great. And it'll be an awkward answer each time. So, yep, we'll see what happens with it. And maybe we'll read it for our book club when it comes out.
Ria
Yeah, I've actually never read. I never read the Gossip Girl books neither.
Fran
Yeah. When would someone use the phrase me neither instead of me either? Not to go off on a tangent.
Ria
Maybe because I said something say.
Fran
I don't think I ever say me neither. I think I always say me either. But I think.
Noah
I think neither is right, though.
Fran
Right.
Ria
But I think it's because I said something that's like, I've never done this.
Fran
So then I would go, me neither.
Ria
Either, because it's a.
Fran
It's a negative.
Ria
It's a negative.
Noah
Also, you're an either because, you know, people say either. Neither. Either. Either. Neither.
Fran
You're not really gonna catch me saying they're both.
Ria
They're both used, so. Me neither.
Noah
You're neither.
Ria
Me neither is the preferred, more standard choice to agree with the negative statement.
Fran
Right.
Ria
Me either can be used. Is common in informal conversation, but often considered grammatically incorrect by purists because it lacks a proper negative particle to pair with either.
Noah
Exactly.
Ria
But it's like people use. People use both, but it's like neither because it continues with the negative.
Fran
I'm pretty grammatically incorrect a lot, so that makes sense. And I don't. Spark.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Spark you as someone that's gonna go, oh, me either. Me neither.
Ria
Me neither, darling.
Fran
Yeah. Gonna happen. Are you. You know, if you're reading your phone number out loud or if it's not in your phone number, I don't know. But you're reading numbers out loud. Do you say zero, or do you say, oh.
Noah
Zero?
Ria
Zero.
Fran
I always say zero as well. But there's a specific kind of person that says, oh.
Ria
Oh. Maybe I do say oh.
Fran
I'm being quiet right now because I'm afraid of saying my own numbers.
Ria
No, no.
Noah
I was just about to say the same thing.
Ria
Yeah. So here's the thing. I'm. I think I might do both because in my area, I grew up in a. I grew up in. In New Jersey, so there's a bunch of, like, you know, you just have your regional area codes in your mind, and one of them is 908. And I've never said 9,08. I've always said 908. But I'm thinking of, like, my friend's phone number who I'm not just gonna, like, say out loud right now, but it's like we're. At some point, there is a zero in the rest of the number, and I say the zero, but I started with 908, and then I'm like, oh, four, zero, six. Suddenly, like that. Whatever.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. Because where we. Our office is located for the zip code, there's three zeros in the middle. Yeah, yeah, but I. But I would.
Ria
When it's. When it's consecutive zeros, you can't be like, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
Fran
I wouldn't be like, 1, 0, 1.
Ria
Yeah, yeah. No, that's crazy.
Noah
Do you ever say, like, 2026 or always 2026?
Ria
Never. Never 2026. Yeah.
Fran
I say 2003.
Ria
Unless I'm being, like, really dramatic and, like, in the year 2020.
Emily
Yeah.
Noah
But don't you feel like when you look back and you're like, oh, that was in 2017. You know, like you say. I feel like that's. I say that sometimes. Like, 2016.
Ria
I feel like. I say 2017.
Noah
2018, but something about being in the 2000s. I'm not like, 2020.
Ria
Yeah. Because I feel like after 2020, it's like you just say 2020, and it's like, 20.
Fran
Well, anyway, sorry that I brought us down that path, but I was kind of stuck on. Me neither. And me either. Realizing, yeah, I don't think I ever use neither.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
But I'll try to be a little bit. I didn't realize this whole time there's been a fish next to me. What the hell?
Ria
A. A living fish.
Fran
A living fish.
Ria
Is there a fish bowl on the table?
Fran
Little fish bowl?
Ria
You didn't know you had a fish?
Fran
No.
Ria
Whose fish is it, Lucas?
Fran
Must be.
Ria
Must, must be.
Fran
Must be. Sorry. Okay, back on track here. Yeah, I don't think Leighton Meester is going to be thrilled to be talking about this.
Ria
No.
Fran
And we'll keep our eye out for the novel. Hurry up, though. Time is ticking on that book.
Ria

Fran
Moving on. Margot Robbie was seen wearing a bracelet with Emily Bronte's hair inside of it. Now, Emily Bronte is the author of the original Wuthering Heights. And apparently I think it's her sister who had their hair in a museum.
Ria
Yeah, I think this was a piece that allegedly Charlotte put together and then it's been in the Bronte Museum for a while and now Margot Robbie is wearing it on the carpet for this sounding look. I know we probably sound repetitive at this point that she's just crushing these moments, but every look is better than the last in my, in my personal opinion. And what she's been wearing that Chanel dress. Oh, just really spectacular. And then some people had some mixed opinions on that. Like, I forget what designer it was. Was like a vintage sort of like a coat like thing.
Fran
Loved it.
Ria
I thought it was sick.
Fran
I loved it. I've been loving every one of her looks and I think that something Margot Robbie does really well is a theme. Is is dressing up for the theme of her movie. We saw it happen with Barbie and now we're seeing it with Wuthering Heights and she is crushing it. I don't give a shit what anyone has to say about if they like it or don't like it. I love it and I think she looks phenomenal.
Ria
I agree. This one was another absolutely gorgeous corset gown. But yeah, it was a bracelet, vintage. It's wrapped with their hair in some way. But Emily brought you in. Her sister ann died within six months of one another in December of 1948 and 1949. And then Charlotte commissioned this Bracelet fashioned from their hair, braided together and intertwined for all eternity. And then the bracelet was in the museum, and she wore the bracelet with the dress, you know, as a. As a moment, which makes sense because it feels like she's been pulling some archival jewelry and such for. For these press looks. My question to you is, how do you feel about, like, wearing dead people's hair or such as an accessory? Because I. I feel like even if it's not dead people, but I just feel like sometimes you hear of people maybe putting a little. A little hair or like a. Or like a nail, some sort of bodily thing, into like, a locket or. Or jewelry, something to commemorate the person, and then they wear it as jewelry.
Fran
Yeah. Listen, I'm not that level of freak, but my family has vials of my dog Fenway's hair. I didn't know how to originally feel about that when that. When that first happened. I remember telling you that as well, and you were like, what?
Ria
Yeah. And I know a lot of people do it. I know a lot of people do it.
Fran
A lot of people do it. And so I'm not judging because my own family did that with my family dog. Yeah. But it. I. It's not something I would think to do.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
And here's the thing. This is. Now comes with the level of actor, artist, where they are channeling deep into this person. And I think for that aspect, maybe if it's. Maybe if it's somebody you're not attached to, it might be easier. Yeah. Right. Because it's like she doesn't know the Bronte sisters. Is it Bronte or Bronte?
Ria
I feel like I've always said Bronte. That could be wrong. But that's. I don't know.
Fran
She doesn't know them at all. Right. So it's like.
Ria
No, certainly not.
Fran
She's wearing this bracelet, and it's like there's not really an attachment to them. Because although she said the movie, like, they're. They're.
Ria
They're long dead.
Fran
They are long dead, and they're not a relative or anything.
Ria
Right.
Fran
The relative aspect, more tie to it. When you are walking around with a locket full of your grandmother's hair, which I just wouldn't do.
Ria
Right. I think about it, too, with, like, that backstory of Charlotte making the bracelet of Emily and Anne's hair into the bracelet, makes me think of, you know, losing a loved one and then turning their hair into some sort of piece of jewelry. And what. What it stems from, for me, I think, is I just Have a disdain for hair. Like, loose hair. I know that it's one of those things that it's like, if it's on your. If it's on someone's head, I'm like, great. If it's off their head and on the table, I'm like, yuck. So it's a weird thing that I have, like, too much hair stuck in a drain. Like, I'll gag it. It grosses me out so much.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Like having to pick hair out of a drain. Nothing. Nothing grosses me out. More like, I freak out. I would freak out as a kid because my dad used to make me go and pull the hair out of the drain because it would be me and my sister would just clog up all the hair in the drain, and he'd be like, it's your hair. Clean it out. So I have to get it. And then you.
Fran
Oh, my God.
Ria
I can't even describe it. It's like, it's gonna make me gag. I, I, I don't like it. So it's like the thought of taking hair and then, like, wearing it, I, I just. I think I have a. I think I have a hair thing where I'm like, yeah, loose hair.
Fran
I don't.
Ria
I don't want it.
Fran
I don't think it's something we have to be open to, you know, like.
Ria
No, no. It just got me thinking about making that bracelet. Like, Margot Robbie wearing it. I'm like, okay, fine. It's. She's. She's doing that makes sense. It's a. It's a homage to the. To the writer, and it's in the museum, and it goes with the outfit and everything. But the backstory of the bracelet is, like, that's where I think deeper of, you know, actually going through the process of making a bracelet with your. With your dead sister's hair.
Fran
Yeah. I would not be able to turn my dead sister's hair into a bracelet. I just wouldn't.
Ria
No.
Fran
I would like to keep other valuables of hers.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
To remember her by and keep the memories inside of me. But I cannot imagine taking her hair while she's dead and being like, I'm. I'm gonna braid your hair now and.
Ria
Save it in a pretty little locket for there's other. Yeah, I know. I feel like there's other ways to commemorate. I know you brought up like this, and I know people do it with their dogs, too, which is obviously in a different topic, because it's, you know, dogs and Versus humans.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Almost people things want to do with their dogs. But I think people get even more elaborate with their. With their dogs. Like, in my house in Florida has turned. My parents have turned it into a shrine to Flow. And, like, I love Flo, but, like, seeing my adorable dog's face everywhere that's now dead, I'm like, guys, we gotta do something about this. Like, there's a Flow pillow. There's a Flow painting. There's a Flow. Kelly Keeg's got us these gorgeous Flow little, like, stained glass pendants. And they're beautiful and they hang in the window. And that's, like, the perfect thing because it's small and it hangs in the window, but it's in addition to that. And then my mom goes, oh, my God, you need to take a mug home. I'm like, a mug? I look, she had 12 mugs.
Fran
Oh, my God.
Ria
Something happened where they made all these extra mugs in the house. There's now 12 flow mugs. And one side is her little, like, nose boop. And the other side is a paw print. And it, like, says Flow on them. And there's 12 of them.
Fran
Oh, my God. Well, at least you got one. I know.
Ria
I'm just like, but that. And then I'm like, I turned record. I'm like, her face is on a pillow. And I'm like, guys, things I love. Like, I want to commemorate Flow. I love that dog so much. But when you're reminded in every single corner of the house of your dead dog, I'm like, okay, I like, now I'm just sad because I'm just looking at Flo's face constantly.
Fran
Things do take a change with. With the dogs or the animals, because you're not putting your dead grandmother's face on a pillow.
Ria
No, but. But you're done. Honestly, I can't even talk about it because I burst into tears. Tick Tock's been serving me a lot of these videos too.
Emily
Of.
Ria
And I don't even want to say it out loud because it's just going to make me get more videos of people.
Fran
Like, don't worry, they could read your mind, too. So.
Ria
Yeah, I know.
Fran
Even if you're thinking about it, like, losing their.
Ria
Their soul dogs. I'm just getting these montages. I Ria, I laid in bed the other night and I was bawling my eyes out. This girl posted this. I don't even know who she was. She posted this stunning TikTok video full, like, memories of her and her dog. But then it also included. I might start crying. It literally Included the video of her, like, talking to her dog as the dog was dying and being like, you gave me such a great life. We went on all these amazing adventures and then like, play. I'm literally tearing up. Played the montage. And I was like, I can't do this.
Fran
Why would you do that?
Ria
Why would you do this to me? I. I can't. That's why I. When I got Olive's age test, I like, cried because I was like, oh my God, she's six months younger than, than I thought she was. And somebody DM'd me. I know. I'm like, really talking about the DMs today. I'm sorry, I'm just, I've been.
Fran
People, people have been bold.
Ria
Yeah, I'm really talking about the today. But, like, I was so. And I'm. And I'm keeping this mindset. I don't care. But she replies to my story like, ugh, that's great. But it says like, in the fine print. 90% of the test results are within an 18 month window. So, like, this could be wrong. And I was, you know what? I don't need that.
Fran
I don't need that. Let me be excited.
Ria
Let me be excited that I think my dog is six months younger than.
Fran
I thought she was. Okay.
Ria
I thought I was six months. Wants more time with her on this planet because she is. They told me her birthday was six months later than the rescue did and she was like, 90. 90 of the results are within an 18 month window. I'm like, I.
Fran
This is just negative. People who want to rain on people's parades. You just pissed me off by sharing that with me. I know. Because people just want to rain on people's parades or things they find happiness in. I know. They're like, well, actually, it's the. Well, actually, people shut the up. How about that? Hope. Hope this helps.
Ria
I know.
Fran
That's it.
Ria
I was like, honestly, I didn't need to know that.
Fran
You know when people comment, hope this helps.
Emily
Yeah.
Fran
Oh, my God, that one really gets me. Hope this helps.
Emily
I know.
Ria
I was just like, let me just.
Fran
Live in the 90, 18 month thing up your asshole. God.
Ria
I know. I always. I was.
Fran
The people just can't let you be happy that you're.
Ria
I know.
Fran
Your dog's born six months earlier.
Ria
Yeah. I was like, I. Let me just be excited that Olive was born in October and not April. Like, I thought it was April. This is telling me October. Let me think that it's.
Fran
And by the way, we will be throwing Olive A banger of a birthday party, October 3rd. You bet your ass.
Ria
You bet your ass we will.
Fran
You bet your ass. Because that's her damn birthday. And we don't care if you're saying it's not accurate.
Ria
Yeah. Thank you for fighting the fight with me. I appreciate your business.
Fran
Slash. Noah Ives.
Ria
Dash. No, I'ves.
Fran
You know what?
Ria
No, Dash. No eyes. But yeah, people get crazy with, with the, the bodily, like things. The hair, the nails, the, the, like the.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Did. Did your sister like, save Luca's like, first haircut and like first nail?
Fran
Luca has gotten six haircuts and he's two. Like this kid's hair. Like, I, you know, I don't think she saved his first haircut.
Ria
I know that some people. I know some people do that. Whatever. I don't care. Judgment free zone. When it comes to wanting to save things from, from your. From your babies and like put them in the scrapbook and the whole thing.
Fran
Do you see? And I don't want this to turn into parent shaming. I'm genuinely asking.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Do you see parents on Tik Tok where they won't get their kid a haircut because they're like, these are the ends I grew in my stomach. And so then they won't. So then they're like, won't.
Ria
Yeah, I've seen that is the reason.
Fran
Oh yeah.
Ria
I definitely see people that are like, that don't want to cut their kids hair at first. And. And I totally fine.
Fran
No, no. I've seen people be like, this is.
Ria
The hair that was.
Fran
That was grown in my stomach.
Ria
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But what I guess came out bald. Most babies do. Some don't.
Fran
Some don't.
Ria
I was born with a full head of hair.
Fran
Yeah, I think we all were here too.
Ria
Yeah. Full like jet black hair.
Fran
Yeah. Not shocking us Italians. No. We come out with a unibrow and.
Ria
Like, you know, hair down my back. My parents were like, yeah. Parents were like, what is this hairy beast?
Fran
Right? It's like, oh my God, this monster. I was getting my unibrow waxed on day 13.
Ria
Like, I look back at the pictures, I actually crack up. Like me really little dark jet. But I'm at the point where my eyes can't even open yet. Like, and I have jet black hair and. And, and Wolverine like hair on my back. Like, I am.
Fran
I am.
Ria
I am Hugh Jackman. Wolverine level.
Fran
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I was getting the talk not to shave my arms at 1 years old.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Like, yeah. You know, that's how Hairy.
Ria
We got. We had plenty of hair to see.
Fran
We. Exactly. And my. I don't. I don't see my hair around these parts.
Ria
No, no, no, no.
Fran
Not safe. Not saved. Yeah.
Emily
Yeah.
Ria
Very different. But yeah. Anyway, later.
Fran
Later, I'm gonna pull a piece of my sister's hair out while she's.
Ria
You should just, like, yank it and be like. I'm gonna. I'm gonna save this in case. I didn't. In case anything happens.
Fran
I'm gonna film her reaction because she's gonna be like.
Ria
Or tell her. Or tell her. You're doing it so that. So that you can clone her.
Fran
Oh, my God. I'm literally. When she turns, when she comes upstairs and she turns, I'm literally gonna yank a piece of her hair out and film her reaction because she is going to flip out. I've. I've resorted back to annoying little sister.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
The past two days. You have to.
Ria
When you're home, isn't it crazy that, like, your hair is the distinctive factor that is used to, like, clone you?
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
You know, if you really think about it, because you.
Fran
Because a lot of people, like, dye their hair. They touch their hair.
Ria
It's just like your hair is what.
Fran
When you're doing so much.
Ria
Yeah. Crazy.
Fran
Frying it. You're putting roll gel in it.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
My hair sees every type of product.
Ria
I know. And every type of hair. And like, that's like, what if you were to. If you were to go down and they need something to. To clone you? It's like, well, let's. Let's take a strand of her hair.
Fran
Speaking of hair, I really got to, like. Honestly. I know last literally was probably on Monday when I was like, you know what? I'm enjoying the cold I get outside. It's like, boom. Fresh, fresh air.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
I need the damn sun. I know it's bad. I need the damn sun. Okay. I can't even, like, look at myself in this camera right now because I am stunned at how freaking pale I am.
Ria
So pale.
Fran
My hair is just pulled back into a slick back because I'm like, what? You know? I know. I don't even feel like I was just in Florida.
Ria
I'm still pale. It's fucking bullshit.
Fran
I gotta see the sun. Damn.
Ria
I try. I know. I tried to use a tanning mistake. Mist in Florida. And I won't, like, throw the brand under the bus, but it was sent to me and it was like a spray tanning mist. And when I tell you, my face, like, within 30 seconds turned bright red. And hot. And I, I, I was like, what? Oh, it was terrible. I freaked out. Like, I, like, panic, threw water in my face, like, washed it again and then put like a giant ice pack on my face because it was like, on fire.
Fran
You're having some sensitivity lately on the skin.
Ria
I am. Anytime. You know, it's like, but I'm that idiot. You know how everyone it's. And you're really supposed to do it. And I don't want. It's like you're supposed to skin test, patch test. And I'm just, I'm lazy. Like, I want to skip that. I don't have the patience. I don't want to wait for the skin test. And every time I do that, I regret it because some, some shit happens in my face. Look how I know. This is going to be kind of hard to tell on the, on the. And let's see if you can. Oh, well, this camera might pick it up nicely.
Fran
No, I see it.
Ria
Yeah, it's like, not focusing.
Fran
It's not by. It's a little blown out now a little further back.
Ria
It's like you can't see it. You can't see how red it is. But it turned bright red.
Fran
That's not good.
Ria
I was like, you know, all I'm trying to do is just have a, have a little color on my face.
Fran
I've been thinking about getting a spray tan next week just to feel something. Valentine's Day, I was actually on FaceTime with my friend, and I was, like, cracking up because I was talking about how we're going to the Friends Experience for Valentine's Day, which I'm so excited about.
Ria
You need a spray tan for that.
Fran
I literally said on the face. I was like, I think I need, I think I'm going to get a spray tan for the Friends Experience.
Ria
Hey, you don't want to look pasty sitting on that couch. No.
Fran
But also, remember the episode where Ross gets a spray tan? Yeah. So I was like, it's kind of fitting.
Ria
It is.
Fran
And just, like, feel something. It's true what they say. When you get a spray tan in the middle of the winter, all of a sudden you're like, oh, my God.
Ria
There's no better feeling. You feel alive again.
Fran
You really do feel alive. And, and, you know, hopefully we'll see some sun soon because the winter uglies.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Are just hitting exceptionally hard all time high this year. It's just, yeah, it's just like.
Ria
It's just so cold. It's so cold.
Fran
You don't Want to do?
Ria
Yeah, anything I don't like. You don't even want to go to the spray tan place. Exactly. Because it's so cold.
Fran
I had a spray tan scheduled right before going to la. I said this.
Ria
I was like, you don't even want to leave. Like, it's, It's. It's insane. Honestly. It's like it's 60 degrees and sunny in San Francisco right now. I want to take my top off. Like, it's like. It's like, yeah, I need. I need something. I need the sun on my body for sure.
Fran
And it's one of those things, though. Like, if I got a spray tan before LA and didn't tell you, that would be fucked up because would have been. That would have been so up. If I walked in, we would have had a.
Ria
We would. A live in Kayla type best friend breakup. If you did the. If you did this, the spray town without telling me to go see Dylan o' Brien and you didn't tell me you got a spray tan. You want me to look pale in front of Dylan and Dylan and Rachel.
Fran
That's so funny. And I was gonna tell you I was getting one, then I. That I canceled it. So I was okay. I don't need to tell her. But we always tell each other when we're getting a spray tan because otherwise you're just screwing the other one over by not get it. Like, we're together all the time. We're gonna be seen next to each other. You can't not tell the other one you're getting a spray tan.
Ria
Especially before the lot, before the live shows. Not be. One of us could not look pasty on the stage with the other has a spray tan. It's a disaster. We look very unmatched.
Fran
It's happened before multiple times where I've gotten a spray tan and you haven't and you opted out. And then you're like, God damn it, I should have gotten one. And then opposite where you have and I have it, and I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with me? And so we have to be on the same spray tan schedule we have. So I'm just warning you, I might have a spray tan next week. Just to feel something.
Ria
Just to feel something. That's okay as long as we don't have, like a big event. We're being photographed together. That's where it matters.
Fran
And I'm like, hey, Matt, for the friends experience, I got a little spray tan for you. These pictures are going to be popping, baby. I see Noah cracking Up and has muted.
Ria
Oh, we laugh, we laugh, we laugh.
Fran
Today's been fun, guys. Today's been fun. Are we gonna talk about the technical difficulties where we've had to stop and go with this record this podcast?
Noah
Yeah. Let's talk about how Ria was like, I don't know why my laptop's not charging when she's charging it with a phone charger.
Ria
Not only that, but she doesn't think this is as funny as I do. But she was like, I. I can't plug my computer in because the outlet's too far away.
Fran
I. I don't see. Listen, I think the phone charger one is funny. The outlet one's true. I don't know where else outlet is.
Ria
Just like. It's just like your computer's dead. You're going to have to move where you're recording so you can book it.
Fran
Right. But there's not many options in here, let me tell you. Luca has taken up every corner of this house. Is he. Luca, you want to come say hi?
Ria
Oh, God. You need, like, an extension cord.
Fran
No, I do. I know. I was gonna go into the garage without the extension cord. Luca, you want.
Ria
Oh, Luca.
Fran
He wants a pickle.
Ria
Oh, honestly, same. I want a pickle too. Yeah.
Fran
So there's been technical difficulties. The laptop, it died. And then it was. Every time we talked, it was freezing and it was glitching, and we tried to make it work, but we. We ended up making it work when I got an actual charger and not the iPhone charger. And by the way, on Monday, when we recorded over zoom, my microphone broke. So then I had a shitty microphone. But today I have a good one, so thank you very much.
Ria
And I like that it, like, lights up as you talk. Like, mine doesn't do that.
Fran
It's like, hey, I'm here and I'm recording.
Ria
You know, it matches. It matches. Like, your voice, like, it moves as you talk.
Fran
It lets you know it is recording.
Ria
Mine doesn't do that. It's, like, red.
Fran
Does that mean it's muted? No, let's hope not. Hope not. That would be a disaster. Oh, can you guys hear me? We can't. We can hear you loud and clear, hon. I just hope everyone else can.
Ria
All right, that wraps up today's episode.
Fran
Franny, we are rooting for you hard. We are rooting for the Experts tonight. You. By the time this airs, the dozen will have already happened. But you can go back and watch it on YouTube. If Fran won. Go back and watch it. If she didn't Mind your business, bitch. So.

Ria
Put the very important clarification from the beginning. If you're married.

Fran
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another game of Beatrie and Fran. This is game number 206, and we are joined by Sam and Emily. They are sisters. They are from Massachusetts. They are rooting for the Patriots this weekend, as is Noah. And you know what? For them, I'll say, go, Patriots. Wow.
Emily
Thank you.
Fran
But I am rooting for the Seahawks. I'm rooting for this. Are you? I am, but I.
Ria
But no. No, I just got so. No, I just got so mad.
Fran
Are you. I'm rooting for the Seahawks. But here's the thing. I don't know. I feel more drawn to them closer.
Noah
They're the favorite by far. Everyone's picking them.
Fran
Fran, who are you rooting for? Not the bats. Oh, you're whispering. Oh, okay, that sounds.
Ria
I'm whispering.
Fran
We don't need to whisper.
Ria
I have the world's biggest Sam Darnold fan as a husband, so, you know, it's.
Fran
That's true.
Ria
Gotta ride for my guy.
Fran
Here's the thing, guys. I'll be happy either way.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Just Like Tom Brady, I have no dog.
Ria
I think Drake May is the cutie patootie, so I'd be happy for him too.
Fran
Yeah, I'd be happy for his wife as well. Yeah.
Emily
Over here is incredible.
Fran
You know what? So, like, go teams.
Noah
I want to tie.
Fran
I just want to see some great sportsmanship out there. All right, ladies, let's get into it. We are ready to play. Fran, why don't you go over the rules while I sip my espresso?
Ria
Lovely. It's gonna be 15 questions. If you got the question right, you get the point. If you get it wrong, the other team conceal the point. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. To determine who goes first, Noah's gonna give us a movie. We're gonna guess the Rotten Tomatoes critic.
Fran
Score of the movie.
Ria
Movie. Whoever is closest will go first. We will alternate between teams for guesses. Everyone gets their own individual guests. So, Noah, what is today's movie?
Noah
Today's movie is a classic. It's Anchorman.
Emily
Okay, I'm gonna go 72.
Ria
Maria.
Fran
I'm gonna say 86. Ooh.
Emily
I'm gonna go 62.
Fran
Okay.
Ria
Everyone's really kind of in the range that I want to be in. What did you say, Rhea?
Fran
I believe I said 86.
Ria
Okay, I'm gonna say 79.
Noah
62 is the closest. It's 66.
Ria
Oh, I was gonna say 68. God damn it.
Fran
And you know what? I'll do you one better. I was going to say 69, because isn't there a joke in Anchorman that's, like, it works this percent of the time. Whatever.
Noah
Oh, no. Yeah, like, like, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Ria
It's like the perfume, like 100 of the time.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I thought it was like 60 something percent of the time.
Ria
I've never seen Anchorman either.
Emily
I was just a random guess. So what? It's so good. I know.
Ria
Literally never seen Anchorman.
Emily
I don't know.
Ria
I've seen parts of it, but I've never, like, sat down and watched Anchorman start to end.
Fran
Are you kidding me?
Ria
I'm not.
Fran
The amount of Anchorman jokes that I put in our group chat, by the way, and I notice you never give it a haha. I noticed Noah's the only one that gives it a haha.
Ria
Well, now I. Now you know, because you don't understand it.
Fran
What the hell? I feel like I don't even know you.
Emily
That's weird.
Ria
I know, like, the lines and the.
Fran
It doesn't Matter about knowing the lines and the quotes you've never seen the movie from.
Ria
No, I've never sat down and watched the whole thing.
Emily
Yeah, and I'm with you, so.
Noah
Damn, that's crazier than any of the.
Fran
