Key Discussion Points

1. Travel Chaos and Storytelling

Timestamps: 02:00–32:38

• Exhaustion From the Road:

  • Ria and Fran recount flying from LA to Dallas, then to NYC, navigating time zones and sleep deprivation.
  • Relatable airport struggles, especially dealing with TSA, delayed/canceled flights, and confusion over time zones.

• Noah’s Viral Airport Adventure:

  • Noah’s tale of racing from a canceled LA flight (LaGuardia closed) to rebooking through JFK, documenting every step on Instagram.
  • Fan reactions: his followers were “applauding” the saga; notable admirers include Matt Quinn (Mount Joy) and Joey Grassaday.
  • Notable quote (07:32):

    "Matt Quinn... called it legendary. There were a lot of people, you know, like, applauding it." – Noah

  • Noah’s “escort” to the airport gate after puppy-dog-eyeing a staff member, navigating lines, and, somewhat guiltily, cutting in front of “52, 100 people.”
  • Final sprint to the gate, finishing the run just as zone 1 was called – to the bemusement of his travel companions, who took their time and even got Starbucks.

• Plane Encounters:

  • Noah chats with a Hasidic Jewish man during the flight, who shares Passover stories and asks to use Noah’s laptop charger, sparking amusingly awkward thoughts about data security and etiquette.

  • Notable quote (22:44):

    "I mean, he had some cojones asking me, can I plug into your computer?" – Noah

  • The conversation becomes religious as the seatmate asks if Noah is Jewish, offers to do a prayer, and then narrates the story of Passover – much to Noah’s anxious discomfort and comic storytelling.

• Post-Arrival & Dallas Recap:

  • After the flight, the team enjoyed their Dallas live show, with fan-made T-shirts and hilarious signage.
  • The Chick’s reflect on airport scams, recounting seeing the same con artist in multiple airports using the same sob story for cash – a “simulation” moment.

2. Scandal and Strength: Jessi Exposes Jordan – Call Her Daddy

Timestamps: 41:33–49:11

• Jessi’s Divorce Bombshell:

  • Jessi (from Mormon Wives) opened up on Call Her Daddy about her “miserable” marriage to Jordan:

    • Woke up for “four out of the five” married years wondering about divorce.
    • Jordan’s alleged involvement with “escorts and orgies,” even during Jessi’s pregnancy.
    • Jessi shielded Jordan from scandal, taking the brunt of public scrutiny despite his prior misdeeds.
    • Notable quote (41:58):

      "She woke up every single day for the last four years wondering if she should get a divorce. Which I mean, my God, like, that is just a long time..." – Fran

  • The hosts highlight Jessi’s strength and restraint in not publicly exposing him sooner, despite immense gaslighting and pressure.

• Community & Cultural Pressure:

  • The Mormon/Utah community’s stigmas led Jessi to “stick it out” longer than she otherwise would have.

• Public Reaction and Appearances:

  • The internet mocks Jordan’s appearance; Ria delivers a killer burn:

    "I saw some comparisons to him that he looks like the koala from Sing. And the appearance is not the only thing... They probably both have chlamydia, too." – Ria (44:17)

  • The “Pilates princess” ideal: Originally a fun, women-centered thing, it was co-opted by men as an “ideal woman” standard.

    "The Pilates princess was for us to gab with our girls... and the men got ahold of it and ruined it..." – Ria (44:58)

• Financials and the Prenup:

  • Jessi is likely to pay alimony and child support. The prenup protects her business, but Jordan reportedly hasn’t worked in years, spending time golfing and pursuing influencer deals.

• Cosmetic Procedure Regrets:

  • Jessi’s emotional regret over changing her appearance in pursuit of control amidst marital trauma is discussed, adding a raw, honest note to the interview.

3. Bachelor/Bachelorette Franchise Rumors

Timestamps: 49:11–54:59

• Mormon Wives Bachelorette Theories:

  • Rumored joint Layla and Miranda Bachelorette season turned down.
  • Franchise reportedly staying away from Mormon Wives drama for now.
  • Maura Higgins emerges as a strong rumor, after dropping teasing emoji comments – although the Chicks are skeptical about what that actually means.

• Possible Taylor Season Aired on Hulu:

  • Rumors that a “scrapped” Taylor season could be dumped all at once to Hulu, as fans now clamor to see what was once protested.
  • Notable quote:

    “There is always going to be a back and forth on how people feel on the Internet...” – Fran (54:16)

---

4. 13 Going on 30 Reboot & Harry Potter Series

Timestamps: 56:01–64:19

• Movie Reboots – Are They Necessary?

  • Emily Bader and Logan Lerman cast as leads for new 13 Going on 30.
  • Chicks lament constant remakes of beloved rom-coms, wishing for original material for new stars.
  • “It’s almost a little bit, sometimes, of the fatigue... This is the best idea we could come up with?” – Ria (61:07)
  • Some optimistic notes: reboots introduce classics to a new generation (e.g., Parent Trap, A Star is Born).

• Harry Potter HBO Series:

  • New teaser trailer drops; kids look adorable, rapid production surprises the hosts.
  • Series expected to drop Christmas Day – entire season likely at once.
  • Uncertainty about how the producers will handle aging/production with child stars.
  • “They better get a fat paycheck. This is gonna make so much money.” – Noah (63:03)

---

5. Trivia Game Madness

Timestamps: 65:55–91:50

• Listener-Fueled Pop Culture Trivia:
  • High school besties Tara and Maddie join for a semantics-laden, laugh-filled trivia showdown. Questions jump from Jonas Brothers lyrics to Zootopia flowers, Dancing With the Stars partners, Taylor Swift “I” song titles, and classic rom-com facts.
  • The game swings between dry spells and wild guesses (the “Penelope Cruz” gaffe for Mamma Mia/Good Will Hunting was a highlight: “Penelope Cruz in any of these?” – Ria, 72:21).
  • Tara and Maddie stage a comeback to win 5–4 with the final “Where the Crawdads Sing” question.
  • Notable quote (90:39):

    "I'm being cranky. That's an incredibly easy question... How many movies are there about a lady in the marsh?" – Ria

[Ria]

All over.

[Fran]

We're all over. We are time travelers. We went from LA to Dallas to here, straight off the airport and now here, here.

[Ria]

Yeah, we just really didn't know what time zone we were in. For a while I thought Dallas was potentially too. Like I, I just. We jumped. We jumped all over the place, came from la, lost the two hours. We're in the airport late to the hotel. The back to the east coast. Another lose another hour. My body doesn't know what time it is?

[Fran]

We don't know what time it is. We also got, like, less than two hours of sleep last night because we had to get to the airport early to get an early flight.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

But we made it, and we're happy that we made it.

[Ria]

Yeah. Here's the thing. Like, I know everyone's seeing the videos online, and you guys dealt with it a little bit, flying to Dallas.

[Noah]

Tell me about it.

[Ria]

Obviously. Why'd you. Why didn't you say that? Like that? Miles away, like, he said that. He was like,

[Fran]

tell her about it. Me. And nowhere in, like, a silly, goofy.

[Noah]

Every single person in the meet and greet, not to brag, was asking me about my travels.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I was like, I wasn't lying. Like, it was a talk of the Internet.

[Ria]

Yeah, clearly everyone was talking about it.

[Fran]

I got emails asking if people wanted you on the show.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

They were treating me like I'm your

[Ria]

manager looking for media requests.

[Fran]

They were like, you're like, do you know. Do you know him?

[Noah]

Storytelling?

[Fran]

And I said, he's not available. Booked and busy.

[Noah]

You got me going all around following you.

[Fran]

Yeah, right, exactly.

[Ria]

He's the storyteller.

[Noah]

So do you want this fire alarm keeps going off.

[Fran]

The fire alarm. The fire alarm in our studio keeps going off.

[Ria]

But regardless, you made your flight.

[Noah]

I made it. I mean, you want a quick synopsis?

[Ria]

I'm sorry I opened this door. Sure. I'm sure. We get a little Friday energy. Presented by Planet Fitness from.

[Fran]

From whatever.

[Ria]

Noah's gonna start this journey for us.

[Fran]

Heck, yeah.

[Ria]

Noah Ives, the king of quicksand. Noah tells a story faster than Noah.

[Noah]

I've had this story, like, a good amount of times now, so I feel like maybe I could get it down pretty quickly.

[Fran]

As long as yours.

[Noah]

All right, so we're traitors.

[Fran]

Yeah. The floor is yours.

[Noah]

And then there's, like, a dramatic pause.

[Fran]

Mm.

[Noah]

I'll say something.

[Fran]

This fucking alarm.

[Noah]

Should I go ask someone? Like, hey, can we get this off? Is there a way to turn it off?

[Fran]

And we're trying to record the best show on earth here.

[Noah]

I'm getting my headache with these flashing lights.

[Ria]

The alarm said, we don't want to hear Noah's story.

[Noah]

Okay, I'll just tell it. Even though it's still flashing. Kind of makes it dramatic.

[Ria]

They announced that they were doing tests in the building today.

[Fran]

Should we do this again? The floor. The floor is yours.

[Noah]

Okay, we'll be recording. So you guys were in la. So we were recording remote, and we woke up that morning. We're supposed to. What Day was this two days ago. Our flight was immediately. First of all, the LaGuardia thing happened obviously terrible, you know, so LaGuardia was shut down. We anticipated there might be some delay, so we Woke up to 67 minute delay to be exact. We're like, oh, great, we're recording. You know what? We're just gonna power through. Power through. And then people might skip this anyway. So it's like, does the fire alarm even matter?

[Ria]

So you're gonna have to cut the fire alarms out anyways. Just keep.

[Noah]

Yeah. So basically, if you're watching on YouTube, it is kind of dramatic. Like, you see a flashing light.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, you definitely see the flashing light.

[Noah]

So while we're recording, in the middle of recording, get the notification our flight was canceled. So, you know, you guys are still talking. And then like, when we pause, I'm like, flight was canceled. So we're like, great. Trying to get. So we get booked on another flight to JFK. So we were supposed to go to LaGuardia. Way closer, way better airport than JFK. And, you know, we're just gonna keep going. And my ADD is really. I'm testing it right now,

[Fran]

so I

[Ria]

should have brought out my timer, so.

[Noah]

Well. Yeah. Okay, so book on jfk. We finished the episode. So I'm kind of like, my legs shaking like it is now. Like, come on, guys. Like, we got to get to the airport. Because everyone's been posting, you know, just TSA in general. Like, especially JFK has been one of those where it's like, don't even try. Like, you know what? Don't even fly to where you're going unless it's an emergency. Like, you're. The lines are out of the airport. Also, JFK takes at least an hour to get there from where we are. So my ETA once I get in the Uber, it says I'm gonna get there like 20 to 30 minutes before boarding starts. So in my mind on the way, there was like, there's zero chance. So I thought, you know what? Like, if I start posting about on my story and make it kind of a joke, then if it gets canceled, it'll be. It'll be more funny and I'll be less actually angered by content content. So, like, I'll be. Cause I'll be like, oh, I told you I didn't make it. And then it's like, whatever. So I. You know, it's hard to explain. You had to see the story to really get.

[Ria]

And if you're watching real, you should save it all as, like a highlighter

[Noah]

yeah, maybe I' put it up as a highlight. You know what? I'll put up as a highlight.

[Ria]

A highlight.

[Noah]

You know, people.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And. But I will say the people who watch in real time, there's nothing like it. They were telling me.

[Fran]

Noah texted me. Noah texted me on the side. And he goes, I'm honored, Annie. Letterman thinks my story is funny.

[Noah]

Listen, there were a lot of people. Like, I don't. I don't know if, like, you know, I don't want to out anyone, but like, maybe they're. They're silent admirers of mine, but.

[Ria]

Well, not so.

[Noah]

Not so silent, you know, like.

[Ria]

Like they're liking your stories.

[Noah]

Matt Quinn, famous singer of Mount Joy, called. Called it legendary. Like, I'm just saying, like, there were.

[Fran]

Joey Grassaday.

[Noah]

Joey Crosby is always my DMs. But there were people. There are a lot of people, you know, like, applauding it. And it was just. I think it was the storytelling. It was like the 20 minutes in between are like, what's. People were like, what happened? Are you there?

[Ria]

Like, what's Craig's line?

[Fran]

I'll give you the credit storyteller.

[Noah]

And I'm a. Oh, yeah, I'm a lawyer.

[Ria]

I'm a lawyer in a story now. Yeah. What does he say?

[Noah]

I'm a storyteller. What is it?

[Ria]

Anyway, that's, you know, I. I did

[Fran]

stop when I was all your stories and out loud said, these are really funny.

[Noah]

And I was, you know, you'll see it if you go to my highlight, which will be up. No, Ives, don't worry.

[Ria]

By the time this episode comes out, the highlight will be made.

[Noah]

But I was, you know, like, mixing in the. I was drawing some parallels to the Justin Timberlake thing. You just. It's hard to explain. But you had to be there. You had to see it. Posting pictures. It is pretty.

[Ria]

It is pretty hard to explain.

[Noah]

And so I got there, he's on a tour.

[Fran]

Hard to explain.

[Noah]

Wow. I didn't even see that. That just comes out of me. I don't.

[Fran]

It's hard to explain.

[Noah]

Got to the. That the story was funny, but I got to the thing and I was like, kind of accepted defeat, but I checked my bag. That's infuriating, by the way. What? You know, like, when you're just like, why is it taking you out of CVS line? It's like, why is it taking you 20 minutes to check out? I go up there and it takes 30 seconds. Like, people just, you know, so it's baffling. So I Was. And so it took a while. When I got there, the TSA line wasn't that bad. Like, it was bad, but it wasn't crazy. Once I checked the equipment, I turn around, it's literally out the airport. So I go to the.

[Fran]

I'm just laughing at you're. Honestly, you are giving dramatics, and I'm eating this story up.

[Noah]

So I go to the lady at the front and I.

[Ria]

What terminal were you in?

[Noah]

This was the American Airlines terminal. And jfk, which is eight. Terminal eight, if you see it on the highlight, I posted Terminal 8 when I pull up. So I was really, like, every step of the way. Here we go. And I go to the lady with, like, puppy dog eyes. I'm like, my flight's boarding in 20 minutes. Like, is there any. I literally said, is there anything you can do to help?

[Fran]

Say it. How? Say it to me as if I'm her. And how exactly you asked.

[Noah]

I'm like, hey, like, my flight. Like, my flight's boarding in 20. Like, could you. Like, is there anything you could do?

[Fran]

Like, I envision this. This is exactly that. By the way, this is exactly how you said it.

[Ria]

I know 12 likes that.

[Fran]

He's 1,000%.

[Noah]

Like, I don't know. Like, please. And then she's like, I gotta stop saying, like, now that you point that out. She just takes one look at me, and it's like, mm, yeah, okay. And just motions me, like, come with me. Then this other lady tries to, like, hop in on my escort train. Like, on the escort. And the lady, his personal hand to her face being like, wait, back there. You cannot come in here. She's like, no, but I'm. And she's like, no, I will come back for you.

[Fran]

She hit her with a mind your business.

[Noah]

And I was like, hey, I'm with you. So. But she basically just let me cut up until where it's supposed to start, which is had to be at least 52, 100 people that I cut. Whatever and

[Fran]

suckers, Whatever.

[Noah]

So then I'm just stuck in the line. And at that point, I was like, you know what? Maybe I have a shot. I don't know. I could actually see Sarah and Maddie, like, up. I was shocked that they were still. They got there so much earlier than me, and I saw them. But at that point, you know, I texted him, like, hey, just in case I make it, could you get me a snack and a water for the plane? Maddie did. I gave her a choice of pretzels and Doritos. Then I got through and you know what's weird? I was just kind of, like, I had already accepted a feat, like, I said. So when I put. When I'm putting, like, my stuff through the scanner, what do they call it? Yeah, scanner. This guy is like, hey, man. Like, I'm boarding right now. Like, do you mind? And for some reason, I was like. Like, if he cuts me, I'm like, yeah, go ahead. Like, I don't know why I let him. I'm like, I was boarding, too, but. And then.

[Ria]

So one person.

[Noah]

It was one person. But then I go, what if he gets held up? And that's a thing. Like. And I thought I had every camera battery met. I'm like, I'm gonna get pulled. God. Maybe there is a God, because my stuff just went through. Then I decided, all right, I'm gonna run to the gate now, get a good airport, run in. I'm running, and this guy's running next to me. He goes. The guy who cut me, he's like, wait, when's your. When's your flight? I'm like, it's. It's morning now. And he kind of was like, oh, like, sorry. Like, I wouldn't have got. I'm like, it's fine. And he. He. I kind of empowered him to run.

[Fran]

And. Are you running next to him?

[Ria]

No.

[Noah]

No. And I was also like this because I was filming myself. I almost ran into something. I almost took someone out.

[Ria]

Was the run necessary or for dramatic effect?

[Noah]

Like, it was. I mean, I didn't know how far the gate was at that point, so I'm like, let's go.

[Ria]

How long?

[Fran]

And it's miles.

[Ria]

You were waiting. Sarah's telling me you were waiting at the gate for a little bit before you boarded it. It's not like you sprinted onto the plate.

[Noah]

Here's the thing.

[Ria]

You're spoiling his story.

[Noah]

I was running. Cause first of all, I don't know. I don't know what's going on. And I'm in a full sprint. I'm running up the escalator, and this guy was walking, and then he saw me running up the escalator, or he was just gonna stand on the. He saw me run. He starts running back. I was, like, starting a movement. Like, it's okay, guys.

[Ria]

Everybody, if. Hey, if you got to get to

[Noah]

your gate, you got to go. And, you know the people standing on the wrong side of escrow, like, excuse me. Excuse me. Like, running by them. And then, yeah, I. I sprinted for however long. It wasn't, like, insanely long. I showed up, essentially, as the zone one was boarding. So I'm, like, out of breath standing there, like, looking for Sarah, Maddie. Like, where are they? They weren't even there. They're, like, at Starbucks.

[Ria]

Like, they're like, look, we have plenty of time. We're not worried. And then we didn't break a sweat, and we got a coffee.

[Noah]

Yeah, you know, I'm like, a Delta. We're all Delta people. So I don't really fly other airlines that much. So, you know, I kind of get a little leeway with my status sometimes.

[Ria]

Really fly other airplanes, honestly.

[Noah]

One of my, like, hidden talents, I will say, and I think Sarah and Maddie can attest to this, is knowing exactly when to get in line for your zone. But it's not when they call your zone. It's before you look for the last person. You're like, that's definitely the last person. Zone two. Like, I can spot them.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And then we get behind them, and then when they call the zone, I am already. Next up. It's a risk because you don't want to have the awkward, like, you're trying to go in a different zone. I'm usually pretty good with this here. I was like, I just. I just had quite the experience. I'm just getting in line. Like, I thought I was going to do it. So I was. I think we were zone eight, which I was like, how are there that many zones? Like, that's crazy.

[Ria]

There's that many zones for Delta.

[Noah]

I wouldn't know. I'm by my status, you know? But it was zone seven, and I know it was the end of zone seven. So I'm like. I literally turned to them. I'm like, I dare her to, like, not let me in when I'm Zone 8, and it's the end of Zone 7 and she isn't calling Zone 8. I go up to the front. She's like, it, like, went red, and she's like, we're only boarding Zone seven. Like, basically, like, pointed me out, and I just basically, like, sighed and walked out of and stood on the side. And then. Cause in my mind, I was like,

[Ria]

rarely do you see that happen rarely. Because, like, sometimes Delta.

[Fran]

No, Delta doesn't. Delta doesn't care.

[Ria]

They're like, no, they don't care.

[Noah]

Whatever. But I thought about, like, saying something like, snarky. But I. In my mind, I thought, everyone behind me is zone eight. She's gonna look so dumb when everyone behind me is also zone eight. The three people behind me were zone seven. So I was like, Fuck. But then she called Zone 8, like 30 seconds after that happened. And I kind of was like. Like, I gave her one of those, like. Here you go. You happy? You feel good about yourself after doing that?

[Fran]

Oh, my God. No, not my hat. Erin. Holy shit.

[Noah]

Oh, my God. This is like. Like when you see the old lady.

[Ria]

Yeah, we've all been hatfished.

[Noah]

Oh, my God. It's hideous.

[Fran]

I can't breathe. I cannot breathe. Ah, my eyes.

[Ria]

My eyes.

[Fran]

Put it back.

[Noah]

Jesus.

[Ria]

I can't breathe. Quick, put it back on.

[Fran]

I can't fucking breathe. I am. For the people listening. I am wearing such a.

[Noah]

The world's biggest hat.

[Fran]

I'm wearing such a large hat right now that it's the only hat that I have. I bought it in la. Cause I didn't have a hat. And it's the only one that I. That I had. I put it on. And my hair. I haven't. I haven't washed it. Sorry.

[Ria]

I'm just like, the context of you being like, I got at the hotel Cause I didn't have a hat. It's like, what you mean?

[Fran]

Sorry. No, I need a hat because we were sitting in the sun and I wanted to shade my face and.

[Ria]

Shade. Shade.

[Noah]

I thought you said shave there for a second.

[Ria]

I wanted to shave my face, dude.

[Fran]

My mustache is growing in and I haven't washed my hair since Monday. Which is not gross to me, by the way, that I wanted to get that out of the way. Like, my hair can last a long time. You could easily go home and I wash my body multiple times a day. So whatever. I don't need to give my background of showering. But the way that my hair looks right now is so insane that when we were in the bathroom earlier and you were in the stall and you heard me, like, laughing at myself in the mirror, it was because I took my hat off and the way that my hair was so flat to my head was so scary, I started laughing. So the fact that my hat just fell off and you guys saw me like this, I feel like. I feel like you guys have seen me naked.

[Ria]

He's the most. Without your shell. Literally.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. Okay, sor.

[Noah]

I mean, no, we were. We're pretty much at the end here. So then I, you know, got through after I gave her a little, like.

[Fran]

So you're.

[Noah]

You're.

[Ria]

You're a jerk to the gate?

[Noah]

No, I mean, I think most people would say she was a jerk to me. Like.

[Ria]

Well, you were.

[Fran]

You were rule stickler.

[Noah]

Like, come on.

[Fran]

You know Literally her job.

[Noah]

Her job. She knows zone eight. She knows what I'm doing. She knows that zone eight is 10 seconds away.

[Ria]

This is a crazy hill to die on. I think it is. There were multiple group 7 people left, so she's really just doing her job.

[Fran]

I'll tell you what's going on until

[Ria]

it's time for Group 8 to board.

[Fran]

I'll tell you what's going to happen in titles. Yeah, he's in a goofy mood right now. And so he's going to. Later on tonight, he's going to. He's going to text us and be like. He's going to text us and be like. Do you guys think that that came across too entitled? No.

[Noah]

You're saying killed that. Ah, we shouldn't. We shouldn't post that anymore. No, but you were saying the other how I. Because I told Haley, the makeup artist. I don't know if I need to specify that anymore, but just for anyone who wouldn't know who. Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

Background.

[Noah]

But you're a storyteller. I just like to give context. Painting a picture.

[Ria]

Paint the picture.

[Fran]

You are painting it.

[Ria]

You're painting the picture.

[Noah]

Which I do everywhere we go to Sarah, Maddie, because I'm always a higher zone status again, I take them with me. I go there with me today with Sarah, Maddie and Jackie. I said, they're with me. Because otherwise they would probably have to check their bags.

[Fran]

Like, that's really nice of you.

[Noah]

They wait, like, that's nice of you. And I don't know if everyone knows that's a thing.

[Fran]

Like, we had no idea. And Haley told us you're a higher

[Noah]

zone and you're with people. They can come with you.

[Fran]

Haley told us that and she said, Noah told me this and we said, what? Noah's been doing this. We had no idea.

[Noah]

[Noah]

And then, you know, I sat down on the plane, got my pretzels, and then had a lovely talk with a Hasidic Jew. For the whole flight.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And he told me the entire story about Passover. You know, where he was headed. Did I tell you? No, because I was trying to switch the conversation off of, like, I felt like I was back in Hebrew school. So I'm like, trying to just. So where are you going? And he goes, fiji. And I was like, fiji? And he's like, yeah, I'm going to Fiji. And then I'm going to Sydney from Fiji. And I'm like, wow, like, that's fun. And he was kind of like, well, you know, like, it was a work trip type thing, like Passover, I'm sure, like, the whole thing. But. But yeah, it was quite, quite.

[Fran]

Did you tell him you went to Fiji?

[Noah]

I did. I said, oh, the people are really nice there.

[Fran]

And did you teach him bula?

[Noah]

I was going to, but no, I didn't. He was. It was a layover. So he's like, I hope I have a little time. But yeah. And it was one of those things where I let him charge.

[Ria]

Oh, he just had a layover in Fiji.

[Noah]

Yeah. But he said he might have enough time to, like, see it a little bit, but I doubt it. But he. Originally, the contact started because he didn't have the right charger for the plane thing. So he's like, can I plug it into your laptop? I was editing, always working.

[Fran]

He asked to plug it into your laptop.

[Noah]

It did feel like a weirdly, like.

[Fran]

Because intimate type thing that is.

[Noah]

It is personal. It felt personal. So I. I hesitated. I was like, yeah, yeah. Because, you know, you're one of us.

[Fran]

Well, because if you plug your phone into your laptop, it can put your information in.

[Noah]

I know. And I. I know.

[Fran]

And vice versa.

[Noah]

Well, I was worried, like, is he gonna hack into my computer?

[Fran]

I absolutely would have thought that.

[Noah]

But I, you know, I was like, no, he's. He's.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

No, he was reading, like, the Torah.

[Ria]

The whole thing pops up that says, do you want to trust this device?

[Fran]

And you write, no, no.

[Ria]

Yeah. No, that way it just charges.

[Noah]

But, but he was charging like he was, he was taking my juice like half the flight. Right?

[Fran]

Because then it takes the juice out.

[Noah]

I know. So then, so then, yeah, but, but

[Ria]

you can plug in your laptop.

[Noah]

But I don't want, It's a whole thing. And it's like, like I had a resound and like, and you're trying to

[Fran]

edit the best show on earth.

[Noah]

I was editing the best show on earth.

[Ria]

I want to.

[Noah]

Here's the thing. It's like, well, I would have been a solution. I don't have to take out the car. The laptop to the ground. The laptop charges are so heavy.

[Ria]

Laptop charger out of my.

[Noah]

No, no. Like they fall out of the outlet. Cause they're so heavy. It's like a whole thing. But they do, they do that once the flight attendants come through with the drinks. So we like, I have my headphones out. I'm like, hey, you mind like taking it out now? Like, I don't want you to like drain all my battery. And he was like, oh, no problem.

[Fran]

You asked him that?

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I, I, it was a while. He took a lot of my juice.

[Fran]

I'm eating this story up.

[Noah]

No, he took it. Took a lot of my juice.

[Ria]

I had a lot of balls on this trip.

[Fran]

Yeah, really?

[Noah]

And then big horness.

[Fran]

Uh huh.

[Noah]

I mean he had some cojones asking me, can I plug into your computer?

[Fran]

He answered me, let me tell you. Absolutely. That is, I would never ask a stranger if I could plug into that.

[Noah]

But I'm also like, he didn't check his phone once the whole flight. He was reading the Taurus. I'm like, why do you even need

[Fran]

your phone charging up for Fiji? Okay, continue.

[Ria]

So then maybe you didn't have an adapter.

[Fran]

Right.

[Noah]

By the way, by the way, I wasn't mad. Like, you know, he's a member of the tribe, so.

[Fran]

And also this is dramatics for the story, but continue.

[Noah]

Yeah, you know, we are embellishing a little bit. Not really though.

[Fran]

You're not embellishing.

[Noah]

It did feel like that in the moment, but I did think about it for like a minute or two before I did it. Like I got to tell this guy, like, because at some point, like, was he ever going to take it out? Or if he's like, I'm going full and then I'm going to stay on full. Like if he hit 100, was he going to stay connected right and be like, I don't even want to, like, go drop to 98.

[Fran]

Like, I saw my laptop with a full. With the full charge that is killing me. Is he gonna charge full?

[Noah]

Yeah, like, I think he was. I don't. He wasn't dead either. He said he was, but then I'm like, you're not. I see your phone's on. It was probably, like, 20. You get to, like, 50 maybe, but he probably got to, like, 60. Charges are pretty fast these days. I don't know. I don't know.

[Fran]

Okay, continue, continue. So you said.

[Noah]

So then, like, I say that. He goes, oh, like, of course. Took it out. And he had just ordered a soda. And while he's getting the soda, he's like, looks at me with one of these. He's like. Like, kind of like a Larry David type thing. Like, looking at me. He goes, are you Jewish? And I'm like, so? So I'm proud to be Jewish. Don't get that wrong. If I get stopped on the street in New York, which happens sometimes, like, those guys are. It's. Every religion has people trying to preach to people or whatever. Honestly, the Jewish guys, they're not even trying to convert you. They just want to find fellow Jews and, like, talk about being Jewish or, like, whatever it is, or, like, give you stuff, which is nice, but, like, I'm in a hurry always, like, don't. Don't come up to me on the street. So when they say that on the street, I. I, a lot of times will be like, no, I'm not Jewish, because I don't even want to. Like, I'm like, they're probably like, he really looks Jewish. But I'm like, no, because I don't want to have a conversation. It's a whole thing.

[Fran]

Well, can't you just say, like, yes, but I'm in a rush?

[Noah]

No, no, because they try. They're like, wait, one second, one second. This is what this guy did. He.

[Ria]

So he was like, announcing his faith.

[Noah]

No, I'm not. That's. That's the thing I don't want your

[Fran]

mother gonna do when she hears this.

[Noah]

Well, my mom's only half Jewish. If we're being honest, she didn't even get bat mitzvahed. I'm kind of blowing up her spot here.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

My dad is 100. But anyways, so when he did that, when I said yes, his eyes lit the up. He was like, really? And then he tried to start convince me, can I do this prayer for you? Like, it'll Connect you closer to God. And I was like. Like, no. Like, no. Like, I was trying to be very nice. And I think Sarah said she heard it too. Like, yeah, like. Like. Like, I'm all for it and everything, but I'm not really that religious. And, like. Like, no. Like, I'd rather not. And he's like, it'd be quick.

[Ria]

Everybody needs to, you know, respect their respect.

[Fran]

Yeah, but he had this, like. He had this, like.

[Ria]

And levels and boundaries. Yes, that's very nice for you, sir, but I'm okay.

[Fran]

Yes, but please, like, I'm minding my business.

[Noah]

By the way you're reading. Like, I don't know if it was a tour, but it was Hebrew. Like, out loud on the plane. Like, it was like. Not loud, but he was like. Like that.

[Fran]

So you could hear it kind of under.

[Noah]

He might have been practicing for, like, whatever thing he was doing in Australia, work thing. It wasn't. I have a noise canceling here. It's fine. But he was trying to talk. So then he orders a soda, and I go, it was a soda that I don't really usually see. You know, we're on a different airline. So I'm like, you know what? I'll have that one, too. And they go, that was the last one. And I'm like, oh, it's fine. I'll get this one. And he goes, have mine. And I'm like, no, it's fine. He's like, no, please, please, like, he's like, give me. I'm like, no, it's fine. I didn't even know that was an option until you ordered it.

[Fran]

He seemed like a kind guy.

[Noah]

Very kind guy. Very kind guy. What happened was then I didn't really talk to him. We land, take my headphones out, pack my bag, we're at the back of the plane because I don't have any status, so I'm, like, at the very back of the plane. I'm not used to this. I'm not used to, like, this deboarding, taking so long.

[Ria]

Please, let's not forget the no status on American. On Delta, it would have been a different story.

[Noah]

Usually I'm off the plane pretty quickly, but this round, like, oh, man. Like, this is a long way. And I should have kept my headphones in, but honestly, he probably would have talked to me anyway, because he kind of looked back at me like. So, like, basically went back to, like, can I? Can I? Are you sure? Like, can I do this? Like, he literally kept saying it. It'll take two minutes. It'll Take two minutes. And I'm like, like, no, like. Like, I. I respect it. And, like.

[Ria]

But just.

[Noah]

But just know. And he's like, but honestly, like, the sun is setting, and it's like, it's a perfect time to do it. Like, out the window. It was actually nice. Like, it was a nice orange.

[Fran]

Did you think about it for a second when you looked at the sunset?

[Noah]

No, it crossed my mind multiple times. But I just go, there's no way it's only going to take two minutes. Like, there's just no way. Like, I exaggerate, like, all the time. Like, that's just what we do.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Like, that's just. That's just kind of our thing. So I'm like, it's not going to take two minutes.

[Ria]

I think this story originally was supposed

[Fran]

to do two minutes.

[Noah]

Yeah, I mean, I said, this is going to take.

[Fran]

By the way, we're not going to do topics today, because this took up the majority of.

[Ria]

I think we've been recording for at least 30 minutes.

[Noah]

No, no. Yeah. I think this has been at least, like, 20, 25 minutes. So that proof.

[Fran]

And by the way, I've actually thoroughly enjoyed this.

[Ria]

But no, honestly, I feel like I met. I feel like I met no Ives Comedy Hour.

[Fran]

Me, too. He's crushing it. You're killing it.

[Ria]

This is.

[Fran]

This is not a tight five. This is a long 30, and you're crushing it.

[Ria]

This is no Ives comedy Hour.

[Fran]

Yeah. And it's better than the first story you told. Story?

[Noah]

Even with Trent and you guys, when we went to San Francisco.

[Fran]

San Francisco, Yeah.

[Ria]

That's always some sort of travel that

[Fran]

wasn't filled with jokes. This one, that.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Interesting. It could be a movie. You could write a whole movie about this.

[Noah]

Maybe I should. Maybe I should.

[Fran]

But he did seem like a kind guy.

[Ria]

But it is.

[Fran]

It is like a boundary thing where it's like, no, I already told you. No, like, please. Yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

It's like, I get it. I get it. But. So then he goes, well, you know the story of Passover, right? Like, and he was asking me. He goes, so, are you celebrating Passover in Dallas? I'm like, no, I'm going for work. I'm going back. He's like, asked me questions. He's like, does your. Your family have good matzah? I'm like, they. They got the best matzah. I go, that's when I finally was like, you know what? I love matzah. I will say that. I love Ma. He's like, oh, good. I'm like, we got good matzah. Don't worry. Like, that's one thing I know, because he was kind of like. There were points where I felt like he was testing me. I felt like I was back in Hebrew school where I'm like. He kept saying things where I'm like, I don't. I don't even know what you're saying. Like. So then he's like, well, you know this story.

[Ria]

Just trying to gauge where you land, you know?

[Noah]

And he. I felt bad because I did. I was doing this thing where he's talking here, and I'm like, this, like, looking up at the aisle. Like, kept kind of, like, looking. And I was kind of looking at Sarah, too, because I'm like, she's hearing all this. And I, like, knew that she was. She took a picture. Like, I was like. It was hard to not like. So he saw it. He goes. He goes, let me just tell you one more thing, because I can tell that you're like. He said that. He's like, I can tell that you're, like, looking in the eye. So I felt bad. I felt bad, but it was hard to not. Because I'm like. I don't even know what's going on right now. Yeah, I feel like. So he goes, well, you know the story of Passover. And I'm like, I got the gist of it, you know? And he goes, let me tell you. Like, it'll be quick. Wasn't quick. He tells me the whole story of Passover. And I. I was. That's where I'm back in school. And I'm like. My brain just, like, I'm not taking anything in, but I'm just nodding.

[Ria]

Like, I said, that wasn't. Wasn't nice at all.

[Noah]

No, I took some of it in, and it was good. And you're talking about Egypt and how, like, in, like, the meaning of it and everything. And I took some of it in, like, if you ask me now, like, maybe, like, give you some little.

[Fran]

We're not going to test you.

[Noah]

No, we're not.

[Ria]

But just, you know, in the moment,

[Noah]

you just think it's about, like, getting the darkness out of you, like, and, like, they got the darkness out of, like, something like that. And. Yeah. And then, you know, like, he. He was asking me about where, like, you know, New York. He was like, oh, you live in New York? Have you been to Brooklyn? I'm like, I know there's. There's a lot of us in Brooklyn, like, certain spots, Mike. There's a lot of us but you know, that was pretty much it. We were trying. I was trying to switch the topic to more of like what he asked me what I do. I was like, my video producer just kept it at that. And he was like, oh, very cool, very cool. And then whenever people like that, I'm like, I feel. It doesn't feel as noble as what you're doing. But that was kind of it. Then, you know, finally got to us. And I'm like, hey, man, happy Passover. Keep on doing the job. The Lord's work. I don't know. I don't think we call Lord, keep on doing the work of.

[Fran]

You should have listened to him.

[Noah]

And. Yeah, but I think it was funny because, like, everyone behind us is just standing there and I'm like, happy Passover, man. Like, like, they're probably like, what just happened? But he walked off the plane and got off the plane and made it to Dallas. Made it to Dallas after all that? After this 25 minute story that I said was gonna take five minutes. So that's pretty much where it ends. Unless you wanna hear what happens. Got to the hotel.

[Fran]

I'm just kidding.

[Noah]

Went to a nice dinner.

[Fran]

Check into part two on the highlights.

[Noah]

Part two. Went to the hotel. Recreated my. When I met Derek Trucks of my Tedeschi Trucks band.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Noah]

I don't know if we ever talked about that. Met him at this hotel in Dallas last time.

[Fran]

We definitely did.

[Noah]

I recreated the handshake and.

[Fran]

But yeah, thank you for just recreating it right there as well.

[Ria]

No celebrity sightings this time around for you. And then in that.

[Fran]

Just himself.

[Ria]

Yeah, just himself when he was looking in the mirror.

[Noah]

Yeah. Yeah. But that, that was. That was it. I don't know how much else I got. That took a lot out of me, that story.

[Ria]

That's so fair. We had a lovely time in Dallas as well. Once we got to Dallas.

[Fran]

Yeah, we'll keep it short.

[Noah]

That's just the start of our trip. Yeah, we got so much else.

[Fran]

That was the start.

[Ria]

We got in. We got in later that night. But no, Dallas was great. We had such a fun show. Cool venue, really cool green room. I love, like, that felt like a rock star green room, which is always fun. Carl and Jesse were great. So we had a blast. We had a great time. It was a really fun show.

[Fran]

To the lovely listeners of Dallas who came to the show were ones who didn't make it. Thank you guys so much for supporting us. Amazing signs last night. They were so funny. But we really did have such a good time. In Dallas. It was such a great show. So thank you guys for. For coming. And, you know, we would tell our airport story, but I just don't think we have enough time.

[Ria]

I don't think we have enough time, and I just don't think it'll be as funny.

[Fran]

Yeah, it wouldn't live up.

[Noah]

So you guys are just having. In the lounge, it seemed.

[Fran]

No, I meant our. Our landing in Dallas. But it's fine. We can save it for another time. We'll save it for another time. And nothing's going to live up to that. And we had such a good.

[Noah]

So many people are so mad right now. Like, why the fuck do we just listen to Noah for 30 minutes and then.

[Fran]

No, ours is not.

[Noah]

I guess we don't have time on our own podcast.

[Fran]

Really short. Like, I think there's somebody scamming people in airports, and we've now seen them at two airports in. In the last two weeks. Like, we have seen this person multiple times.

[Ria]

It's crazy.

[Noah]

Totally different airport sense to me because he's. He's spending money like, he's losing money going to different airports.

[Ria]

We don't understand the scheme. We don't know the inner workings of the scheme. All we know is it's a scheme, because this is. We saw him in the Seattle airport, literally at the gate. And we saw him, the Dallas airport, at baggage claim. You know, his. He missed his flight. He needs help, cash, stay in a hotel. He said the exact same amount of 109 plus $9. And people bring out big wads and big. And they're giving him all this cash, big bills. I was in the bathroom. I came out. I heard his voice. I looked over at. My jaw hit the floor.

[Fran]

I said, oh, my God.

[Ria]

It's the same guy that was just in Seattle last week.

[Fran]

We were bugging out. And then I started looking around at everyone. I started looking at people going, no, no, guys, guys. Like, I was panicking. I was like, guys, no, no, no. Like, I was trying to explain the story. I was like, we just saw him in Seattle last week. It was the same exact script. No one was believing us. They looked at me like I was crazy.

[Ria]

We became the craziest because they were

[Fran]

like, that's so rude. You're gonna say this guy's a. But we were like, we just saw him in Seattle. And then, yeah, somebody else we know saw him in Chicago. So it's now been three airports now.

[Ria]

And when I tell you he. He collected that big collection of cash, like I said, big bills. He, I'm sure, exceeded the amount of money that he was asking for. And then he hightails it out of there fast. All of a sudden he's there, he gets all his cash, then he's gone.

[Noah]

Gone the doors off to the next city.

[Fran]

Yeah, I think he's just like turning around, going back in the terminal and getting on another flight to another city.

[Noah]

He' me, if you can.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

Or it's like, yeah, I guess some airports he goes into, because in Seattle we saw him at the gate, but you know, baggage claim. Realistically, he could just drive to any airport I might claim.

[Fran]

Don't.

[Noah]

Like at the airport.

[Fran]

Don't, don't.

[Ria]

It's really, it's really unbelievable.

[Fran]

We were, we were stunned.

[Ria]

We were. It was also like 12:30am so we're, we're a little delirious. It was a long day and. And then. And we heard that. We were like, oh, my God, this guy, this guy is back.

[Fran]

No, I had to take a lap because I was gonna. I thought I was entering like psychosis. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can't tell me that this same exact person in the Seattle airport is now in the Dallas airport having the same spiel in front of our faces. Are we real right now?

[Ria]

The same outfit?

[Fran]

No, I was like, are we real right now? That's what it felt like.

[Ria]

It did feel like we were somewhat in a simulation.

[Fran]

Yeah, it was in. It was, it was.

[Ria]

Carousel broke. Jammed for a little bit. So there's a delay in bag. So there was like multiple groups, multiple airplanes waiting to get there to get their bags. It was crowded and people were like talking to themselves. Lady was having a hot flash next to us and she took off her flannel and then just started laughing maniacally, like to herself.

[Fran]

Yeah, that was me.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I was gonna say that kind of sounds like something really.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

We were just.

[Ria]

We were really all over the place.

[Noah]

We were.

[Ria]

It was really all over the place.

[Fran]

It was quite the adventure.

[Ria]

But no, we had. We did absolute blast in Dallas. So that was, that was fun. Felt like, you know, felt a great show. Thank you to all the lovely, great signs listeners. Great signs. We had two lovely ladies gift us T shirts.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

Were so awesome. We were laughing because they're the, you know, like the hype up T shirts where. What are they called?

[Fran]

Like, fan T shirts. Where it's like, yeah, yeah. Who you're a fan of, like with. With all the faces on it, the

[Ria]

name and big Lars on the top and Then all the faces. And Rhea got one of Matt, and I got one of Olla.

[Noah]

It's one of these.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Oh, yeah. You have it at Andy. I laughed really hard because for Christmas we do, like, Secret Santa in my family. And my cousin's fiance got Matt, and she got Matt a shirt with my name on it with all pictures of me. And it was so funny. And we were like, oh, well, I gotta get one one day. And then there and then I got it. I was so excited. But even funnier that you got Olive and not Joe.

[Ria]

Yes. Yep, yep, yep. I know you're cracking up. Which. That really made me giggle. But Joe was like, oh, my God, that shirt's so sick about. About olive too. And you know who had my friends, my very large group of friends do a Secret Santa as well. And my friend that had me wanted to get me an olive T shirt like that, but it wasn't gonna come in time. She ended up getting me, like, a little dog scrapbook. That was really, really cute. But ever since then, I was like, oh, I gotta get one of these.

[Fran]

Yeah. So sick shirt.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah. That was really, really cool. Very, very thoughtful, which is so nice. Just really. We get to meet the. The nicest people.

You're in Boston Tuesday night and you haven't gotten tickets yet, tickets are still on sale, so come see us. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We got Jesse from Mormon Wives on call her daddy. New 13 going on, 30 movies coming out. Emily Bader and Logan Lerman have been cast. And it Looks like there's maybe some rumblings of Maura Higgins being the bachelorette. Not sure how true that is.

[Ria]

[Fran]

of different people and we have a great game of trivia. So let's get into the rest of the episode.

[Fran]

So Jesse went on call her daddy to talk about her recent announcement of getting a divorce and then went on to explain what has been going on with her and Jordan for these past couple years. And it was not good. She said that she woke up every single day for the last four years wondering if she should get a divorce. Which I mean, my God, like that is just a long time to when

[Ria]

you've only been married for five.

[Noah]

Yeah, right.

[Fran]

For the four out of the five you woke up every day. That is bad, bad news. But people have told her and come to her with stories of Jordan with, with escorts and orgies and, and the whole.

[Ria]

And that was before the Mars Marciano Stuff. So it's like she protected him from all that. It was like, oh, Jesse's so bad. She, like, kiss Marciano. All these things. Meanwhile, they had problems before that where he was doing weird shit when she was pregnant with their daughter. That's always when they're pregnant.

[Fran]

It's disgusting.

[Ria]

The worst type of guy.

[Fran]

It's really gross. And on top of that, though, like. Like Jesse to have the strength to not open up her mouth when he was giving her so much about Marciano.

[Ria]

Seriously.

[Fran]

And to not. And by the way, I don't even know how they stayed together. Like, I. First of all, I don't even know, you know, why or how she would stay with him after escorts and orgies. But that's. I think, you know, Utah the Mormon. Like, it's like, whatever's going on there, they really try to. They really try to stick it out.

[Ria]

Seriously.

[Fran]

And, like, that's insane. But. But even after that, with the Marciano stuff, for her to not like it, it requires a tremendous amount of strength to not just be like, oh, what about your escorts and orgies? Like, she's going to be great going forward, and I really hope that for her, because she is really sweet, and I can't believe she's been dealing with just this loser of a husband for so long. She said that no one in her life ever likes, like, family, friends. No one likes him. Nobody likes him.

[Ria]

Yeah, she said. She kind of joked, like, you know, you don't really expect to announce you're getting divorced, and everyone's like, yay. Like, happy. Not one person in her life liked him, which really says a lot. But she was saying that she did feel kind of bad that people were, you know, making fun of his appearance and things like that. And it's just when he seems to be so vile, everyone does do that. And you look. I saw some comparisons to him that he looks like the koala from Sing. And the appearance is not the only thing those. Those two things have in common, because they probably both have chlamydia, too.

[Fran]

Ooh, nailed it. Nailed it, nailed it.

[Ria]

That's a little one for her.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah. We worked on that during the Dallas show.

[Noah]

We did.

[Ria]

We worked on that one for the Dallas show. Get it? No, I. Yeah, orgies. Who knows what he was spreading?

[Fran]

Ugh, God. It's disgusting. But no.

[Ria]

And you know what? I also really didn't like the whole, like, Pilates thing of it all.

[Fran]

Mm. What's the deal, Leo, with this?

[Ria]

Here's the thing. It has become something that we had. That was like a girly girlhood thing. And the fucking men got it and projected it and turned it into this, like, ideal woman thing. The whole Pilates princess thing. It was a fun.

[Fran]

It was fun for us.

[Ria]

It was fun for us. And the men got ahold of it and ruined it by turning it into like, well, I want my wife and my girlfriend to be toned and skinny and do Pilates. It's like, no, no, no, no.

[Fran]

I hate it. I'm like. And it's just.

[Ria]

The Pilates princess was for us to gab with our girls, grab a little coffee, go to Pilates, wear a cute set, wear a Cusette, not have these guys be like, you gotta do Pilates to be hot.

[Fran]

Yeah, no, it's. I. Oh, my God, I hate it heated so much. Where are you up in the gym then?

[Ria]

Jordan, Seriously? Because I see you. We got the, like, after Love is Blind. Now this. Clearly, it's something circulating in this group of guy, this type of guy, this

[Fran]

type of man who is just like, I, if you're not doing Pilates every

[Ria]

day, then, yeah, no, I don't like it. I think she. I love what she said about, you know, being a mom. She's a great mom. Her kids are going to be okay. They're. They're going to get through this. The prenup is intact, so he can't take anything from her business. But you should say she's probably gonna have to pay alimony, child support, because, my God, the guy doesn't work. It's been years. He quit, his job, doesn't work. She was saying, you want me to

[Fran]

hit Pilates every day? Why don't you get a job?

[Ria]

Right? He's golfing. I guess she was saying that, you know, when he had quit his job, it's because he was traveling so much and filming with the show was hard with the kids. But she was under the impression that, you know, he was gonna try and find it a job local, not. I'm just not gonna work at all. Golfing all the time, obviously, trying to be the leader of dad talk. Just, like, being competitive, trying to get deals and all the, you know, brand deals. Had to have Jesse in it. So it really was so messy and crazy. And I'm so glad she's out of this marriage. So glad she's gonna be so happy. And like she said, she was saying, you know, I don't know if it was a hero, a friend or family member, forget who exactly, but, like, they would look at. Look at what you've accomplished being so held down. You're already so accomplished. Think about all the things you're gonna be able to do now that you are your own free, independent person. So I was like, that is so true. So I'm really excited to see what she does. And she broke my heart a little bit too. Cause she's been very open about the, you know, cosmetic procedures she's done and her insecurities with her appearance and all these things. And she basically was saying, you know, she hasn't felt really any control in. In her relationship. And this was something that she felt like she could have control of and things that she could maybe change to make her happier. And she regrets some of that. She regrets, you know, blindly listening to a doctor and not questioning these things. And I appreciate her being so open and honest about that because it is so popular right now to really be open about those things. And, you know, if you have a regret to share it, not just. And not just hype it up. And a little bit more clarity, sort of the timeline with the Taylor, Frankie, Paul stuff. And that the. The girls had really sort of gotten together and said that they weren't really comfortable filming because they had heard rumors of other allegations that were gonna come out. But they're filming, but they don't know if it's gonna come out or not. So it's like, do you talk about it on camera? What if it never leaked? Like, what if it never comes out? Okay, well, then we're all talking about on the show. So when the show comes out, goes on, it's all gonna come out. So I think they were having a really hard time time balancing what those conversations were gonna be like and having it be authentic. It feels crazy that, you know, Jesse is going through a divorce and having all these moments and the cameras are down for people that share so much of their life on. On reality tv. But I don't know, the. The future of the show seems a little up in the air right now of if they are gonna be able to pick up filming. If they're not, there was another allegation against. Against Taylor. So I'm not. I'm not really entirely sure what's. What's all gonna happen there and what that timeline looks like. You know, it's like, you see, oh, the police are investigating another instance. Like, well, what. You don't know what. What the timeline is.

[Fran]

Yeah, for.

[Ria]

For that.

[Fran]

She also talked about her conversation with Harry Jowsey. She had some DMS with Harry Jowsey. He posted them Yeah, I was getting. Yeah, yeah, that he ended up posting after. And it was just a little back and forth that har. It was. They have shared the same birthday. So she DM'd Harry saying, you know, birthday twin. He sent her a voice note being like, what are you doing? You know, whatever. The way he talks, honestly, very innocent voice notes back and forth of Jesse just be like, I'm doing this. And then Harry being like, this, I'm doing this. And she's like, oh, enjoy. And Jordan took that, ran with it, sent it to himself from another phone saying, oh, your girl's cheating on you. Look at this. Hacked her Instagram, hacked everything. So now she has a whole separate phone number that he does not have, and that she has another phone just to talk to him. And she has to keep it so separated so that he doesn't hack into all of her stuff, which is just so up and such an invasion of privacy in so many ways. And now especially going through a divorce with this man and still being like, oh, my God, how am I going to keep myself, my privacy from him? We're going to be divorced. We're not even married, and he's still going to be trying to keep all these tabs on me. So I'm really rooting for Jesse. I think that her being so open and honest is a really, really great thing. And maybe we'll have people do the. The research and take time to make these decisions before doing any cosmetic procedures, because everyone can fall into that trap of, oh, should I do this? Should I do that? And it's like, you don't have to. If you want to, that's great, and you absolutely should. Everyone should do what they want, but, you know, take those steps, do the research. So I thought this was a great interview, and hopefully we find out more about the filming of Mormon Rive so that we could see this go down. Moving on. While we're on this same topic, we'll talk about the Bachelorette theories. There were theories that they were working on having Layla and Miranda do a joint Bachelorette season, but that has been shut down. I think. Apparently rumors on Dumas say that execs are trying to move away from all of that and they don't want to have the Mormon wives be the Bachelorette, and they're now looking at Maura Higgins.

[Ria]

Feels like a safe bet to probably stay away from the Mormon wives world for. For now. There's so many rumors about the Bachelorette, it's pretty hard to keep up with what the latest is because I feel like the. The sources are flying. Like, they, they. Like they've never flown before. Their sources here, sources there. Everybody's got a source and everybody's got a friend that's saying something. And there's a rumor that, oh, it could be more. They'll do a live season. That could be so fun. More commented. Eyeball emojis. So that fired up. But I could almost see that going both ways. You could. You could look at an eye, like eyeball emoji as maybe her laughing at something she's not heard one thing about. And it's like, oh, I'll join in the. In on the joke. Or maybe she really is trying to teach something. You're not. Not quite sure. I think she'd be great doing that. But then there was also rumors this week that, like, maybe they could still air her season. It was like, oh, they've. They're. They. They just put it on pause. Everything's being put on pause. And they could. They could put it out at a different time. I don't know. It's all really very interesting. I know Jesse also said that she did that. She does wish people could see Taylor season because as her friend, it felt like this version of Taylor was her real true self and that it was such a great experience for her and, you know, growing experience for her. Which is why the one thing I wish that Alex may have, you know, maybe would have asked her is sort of what they all thought when the season. When she came back from the Bachelorette and you and you guys all started to hear Sheila, what Dakota was going down again. Like, how did you guys all feel about that? Because they've been so. In the whole last season, they. They were trying to pull her away from him doing any. Literally pulling her out of bed to get to film the Bachelorette. And at this point, it's like, yeah, the season's spoiled. So I don't know why that was the reason. You can't. They don't want to talk about it. It's like one. We may never see this. We may never see the season. We probably won't. Felt like the season was spoiled anyway. Everyone was talking about it. Now everyone's really talking about it because they're talking about the guys that were on the season. And also, we know she was having problems with Dakota again and she had already filmed the whole season. So it is true. That's why it is frustrating, I think, when you're like, oh, the Bachelorette was. You're saying the Bachelorette was a Good experience for her. But that's all kind of been washed away. Now.

[Fran]

I did see rumors that they would, they would maybe think about just airing it on Hulu, just like putting it all out at once or. Because not airing it live on abc,

[Ria]

a lot of different.

[Fran]

There's a lot of rumors about that. And I'm also seeing that people are now discussing because when it was going to air, there was such a movement of like, don't air this, don't air this. Yeah, now that's not airing. There's a big movement of oh my God, please air it. So, you know, it's. It is always going to be like a back and forth on, on how people feel on the Internet. But besides all that, I do think Maura Higgins would be such an interesting choice and so fun. Maura is such great TV and I think that it would be such a. Such a switch up and fun to watch her eyeball emojis do make me think that she would be interested and that maybe they are discussing it and if that's the case, then I'm. I'm open to that as well.

[Ria]

She thinks she would do it.

[Fran]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe.

[Ria]

Batiste is the award winning number one dry shampoo brand. It's the number one in the US Number one in the world. It instantly refreshes your hair, absorbs that oil, the grease for a cleaner looking and feeling hair with added volume and texture. It's great on your hair and easy on your wallet. You can get that blowout look without the blowout price. Batiste works better than the next leading competitor in brands that cost up to two times more. It's a cult classic for a reason. All hair types are welcome. I love carrying around a little travel Batiste dry shampoo. Since we've been on the road, whenever I need to do a nice little zhuzh, put it back together. Especially when I do my hair, make a nice blowout for a show and then the next day I want that blowout to still look as good. Just use a little Batiste in the morning and it makes it look like I just did it. You can buy the Batiste dry shampoo online or in store at your nearest retailer.

[Fran]

Moving on 13 going on 30 is getting a reboot this time with Emily Bader and Logan Lerman taking those lead role spots. I think that this is a movie that does not need to be touched or rebooted. But if we're gonna do it, then I think that this is a great casting.

[Ria]

This is extremely frustrating because I love this pairing Obsessed with the idea of Emily Bader and Logan Lerman in a rom com. They seem to be really. I feel like they'd be such a good romantic pair. They got the comedy, they got the laughs. I very much see them, I guess, in those characters of this movie. But at the same time, it's like we don't have anything original for these two. We can't get these guys a new script for a romantic comedy. We can't get these guys in a fresh new idea of the two of them. There's a million rom com books that are out there in the world. Find something that hasn't been made into a movie yet and cast these two. I think Jennifer Garner's executive producing, so it's like they're involved in this. But it really does feel like something that doesn't need to be touched in this way. Because even if it is, it's like, is it the exact same story over again?

[Noah]

But people are saying about the Harry Potter stuff too.

[Ria]

It's like, Harry Potter is so different.

[Noah]

But people are. Even that trailer, like, I think it looks good, but it's like it looks exactly like everything's the same. Like it's the same exact story. It's like, well, obviously it's the same to. To tell it, but you're going to be.

[Ria]

It's like shot for shot more in depth. I. Well, I think the teaser specifically did that for a reason. There's so much more in the books that never made it into the movies. I know, like, Gia's reading the books right now and when we get to these seasons, because they're doing all of them, it'll see. It'll be so different. Like, Gia was so surprised how different Goblet of Fire the book is from the movie. There's so much more in it. The first ones are shorter. Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, they're shorter books. So the movies weren't really like, oh my God, the movies are missing so much. So maybe those first couple seasons could feel very familiar. But as it goes on, there's so much more. And I don't know, to me that's like a giant franchise and that gets remade all the time. There's different versions of superheroes that get made at all the time. There's like that reboot. Those kind of reboots happen. A one off rom com, that's. That's a cherished movie. That was a one off just thing. You have to make the exact same movie. There's only one of them.

[Fran]

Yeah. I don't see the reasoning for this, but I guess if we think back to like really like long ago. Right. Like the Parent Trap. We think of the original Parent trap being.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Lindsay Lohan. There was a Parent trap before that one. So it is funny when we're like, like, oh my God, they're remaking movies.

[Ria]

There's Star is Born. Yeah.

[Fran]

A Star is Born. You know, Barbra Streisand, huge star. There's other generations that come after us that will see these movies and go, oh my God, 13 going on 30 was my favorite movie growing up.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And then It'll be this 13 going on 30. Not the first one. Very possible.

[Ria]

I think a lot of times more years have to pass.

[Noah]

Why not just the first parent 40.

[Ria]

Yeah. The first parent trap. And this parent, like the first parent trap and the Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap are so drastically different. Different because they're just made in such different times that like the quality of movie is so different.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

13 on going on 30 wasn't that long ago, what, 20 years. Right.

[Fran]

Maybe. But I guess now with just like the way like that social media. Yeah, but like social media and technology now is so different that somebody who's 13 going on 30. Yeah. It would be a way different 13 year old. Like maybe they're on AIM or like on. And then. And then they grow up and then they're, you know. Now with Instagram, that might be the angle. I don't know. I'm playing devil's advocate advocate here. I'm trying to think of a way

[Noah]

that they would make it more the 13 year old. Unless they're like going in.

[Fran]

No, it'd be, I would think like 13 years ago.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Or whatever. And then. Yeah, so the.

[Ria]

It would be. Yeah, it's. That is true. But at the same time, just track record them doing this. In recent, in the last decade, none of them have been good.

[Fran]

Good.

[Ria]

You know, like every time they try and reboot or bring something back or change it, it's like, was this really worth it? Probably not. Like, there's some that I've been. There's some that I've enjoyed with Emily

[Fran]

Bader and Logan Lerman being cast and Jennifer Gardner executive producing. I'm gonna give it a shot. I'm gonna, you know, I think that there's potential for it, even though I find it to be unnecessary. And I think you're right that there could be other better stories for them.

[Ria]

Original movie.

[Fran]

Yeah, an original movie. A book to movie adaptation would be great. But we'll give This a shot and it may be really cute. It may be cute with these two.

[Ria]

Yeah, I, yeah, I don't know. I just have like it's almost a little bit sometimes of the fatigue. You see the news. It's like, oh come on. Regardless of if it's good or not, you're just kind of like this is the best idea we could come up with is remaking another beloved romantic comedy that people have never once said that they wanted to reboot.

[Fran]

Yeah, it's reboot.

[Ria]

Unless there's a part of the Internet that I'm not seeing of a world where they've been fighting to reboot 13 going on 30. I, I, I don't know. I'm sure people have made a cry for like oh, a sequel through the years where it was like actually Jennifer Gardner or Mark Ruffalo. A complete reboot is, is a very different thing. And by the way, just to, because Noah brought it up, the teaser for Harry Potter looks, looks great. I am very excited. The kids are adorable. I can't believe it's coming out this year. I really thought it was going to be like summer, fall 2027. I felt like they just announced that they were in production not that long ago and it seems like the whole thing's done already.

[Noah]

Are they releasing the whole season at one time?

[Ria]

I think so.

[Noah]

That's, that's cool. I wonder like.

[Ria]

Yeah, I think so. I'm not, I'm not positive. All I know is that it says that it's coming out Christmas day.

[Noah]

So are these kids like I don't even know the, the, the schedule of like they're shooting like one season at a time or are they like doing it all at once?

[Ria]

Like, well, they can't do it all at once cuz they have to get older.

[Noah]

That's kind of crazy that these kids just like signed on to be like for the next however many years. Like.

[Ria]

Well, it's what, it's what doing this. It's what the three original ones, I guess.

[Noah]

But they originally when they signed on, I don't think they did. They know like we're like fully locked into like all the movies. Cuz it wasn't. They didn't know if it was gonna be like.

[Ria]

I think they were told it was a really going to be a really long commitment because, because I think it was. Daniel Rackliff even recently was saying that his mom was skeptical of the project originally because it was such a massive commitment.

[Fran]

That makes sense.

[Noah]

They better get a fat paycheck. They're Gonna. This is gonna make so much money.

[Fran]

Hopefully. Hopefully. Oh, yeah.

[Ria]

I mean, it's no question.

[Fran]

Yeah. Someone's gotta fight for these kids. Yeah.

[Ria]

The whole thing came out new. The HBO original series. Yeah. Just as it premieres this Christmas.

[Fran]

That's nice. That is a good time for that.

[Ria]

I saw that that one executive was saying that it may not be every year of release because it does take a while for them to make the show. And then the editing and the special effects, like, they made the comparison to House of Dragon or Game of Thrones. It's like, it's just a hard type of show to turn around that quickly. But then, you know, all the comments were like, you don't exactly have 20 years to work with to make all these. To make every season. Like, you can't have. You can't have this seventh season.

[Fran]

And the.

[Ria]

And these kids are, like, 28 to 30 years old.

[Fran]

So true.

[Noah]

Like, just filming anything with kids, I feel like, is a challenge because you have all those rules of, like, they can only shoot this many hours or, like, that stuff where that must be.

[Ria]

Yeah, I look. It seems like they shot the first season pretty quickly, though, I guess, like,

[Noah]

summer break, they still got to go to school.

[Fran]

True. Yeah. But even the hours that they can be on set is tricky, so.

[Ria]

Yeah, definitely.

[Fran]

I would imagine it takes a bit longer.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Well, that's exciting that it is coming this year way sooner than what people thought. And that wraps up today's topics. Last night's Rumhaven cocktail at our show honestly, just hit the spot. Those Friday Energy cocktails at our shows are so delicious, and I love everyone in the crowd coming up to us to tell us how delicious they are. So if you're looking to try them, now is your time. Because the world's too loud, it's too filtered, it's too fake. But not here, not with us. And not we're Rumhaven, where the noise fades and the real comes out. Where you can unbutton expectations and sip on what's true and what's natural. One taste of pure cane sugar and real coconut water lets you feel the difference. That's the best part about Rumhaven is the real coconut water that's involved. Oh, it tastes so good. You could just drink it on ice, or you can mix it with juice, make a cocktail like we do at Friday Energy, and it's all what real tastes like. So open up a bottle, lose a small talk, and find the good vibes. Because the best moments aren't fake. They're simply real rumhaven made for real. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another game of Beatria and Fran. This is game number 212, and we are joined by Tara and Maddie. They are high school besties, which means they go way back. And if these are throwback questions, they probably watch together. And we're screwed. We are screwed. Ladies, welcome to the show. Thanks for having us. You have a lot of confidence in us, so hope. Hopefully we. Hopefully, we prove ourselves. Well.

[Ria]

We were just saying to you guys, you. We feel like we've teleported back here, so not quite sure what brain function we're operating at. It's not high. Nope, it's not high. So we'll. We'll see how this goes. But it's 15 questions. If you got the question right, you get the point. If you get it wrong, the other team can steal the point. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. To determine who goes first, Noah's gonna give us a movie. We're gonna guess the Rotten Tomatoes critic score of that movie. Whoever is closest will go first. We get everyone gets their own. Individual guests will alternate between teams for guesses. So, Noah, what is today's movie?

[Noah]

50 first dates.

[Ria]

Okay, so one of you. One of you guys guess first.

[Fran]

I'll go 53%.

[Noah]

I thought you were gonna say 50 for a second. 51st space.

[Ria]

Oh, I thought you were just, like, giving away the answer.

[Noah]

I was like, whoa, crazy. How crazy would that have been?

[Fran]

So crazy. Yeah, I'm thinking 78. I will go, oh, 64.

[Noah]

Great Beatles song. When I'm 64, I'm in, like, a kind of goofy mood right now.

[Fran]

I can tell. I love it. When I walked in the studio, Noah goes, she's here. I said, wow. Whoa. You're happy to see me?

[Ria]

The rare, silly, goofy Noah. 68.

[Noah]

53 is the closest. 45.

[Fran]

Right on the nose there.

[Noah]

All right, question number one to Tara. Right. Sometimes I. I get really in my head about Tara or Tara.

[Fran]

You know, I get it all the time. It's terrible. It's a respectful, clarifying question. It is. But I'll say this. I've never met Atara, but I. I do get confused. But anybody. I've always. It's always Tara.

[Noah]

Yeah. Okay, question number one to you guys. Shadow at Juliana from Boston. In the Jonas Brothers song Montana sky, there are four other states mentioned besides Montana. Name three of them. You guys make Jonas Brothers fans, or.

Final answer incorrect. Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Virginia.

[Ria]

Georgia was the only one I could

[Noah]

remember that seemed to be the most prominent.

[Fran]

Yeah, when I heard Montana, I just went Wyoming. I don't know.

[Noah]

I feel if you were gonna guess, you gotta throw in Jersey. Right? Casino.

[Fran]

You're right. You're probably correct. It's where the brothers are from. That makes sense.

[Noah]

Zero. Zero. To reinforce number two, shout out Olivia. In season nine of Real Housewives of New Jersey, a psychic told Melissa Gorga something which turned out to be false as it played out through the season. What did she tell her?

[Ria]

Yeah, I think nine as well. I was between eight or nine, but now I'm thinking nine.

[Fran]

I think nine.

[Noah]

Yeah. Final answer incorrect. 2007.

[Fran]

Oh. Oh, never mind. Never mind. The confidence was wrong.

[Ria]

You know what?

[Fran]

Yeah, we were all. What are you gonna say? That you thought it was 2007? Was my.

[Ria]

I knew was my first thought.

[Fran]

You didn't say that.

[Ria]

They said 2009. 2010. I went, oh, yeah, that's probably way closer. I thought I was way off.

[Ria]

Oh, you girls were trying to do it again.

[Fran]

They were like, we're available. Oh, wow.

[Ria]

How gullible do you think we are today? We want to do it again.

[Noah]

This would have been a good time, though, because I feel like we just got off a flight where. And you guys, like, wouldn't have been thinking 1000%, but picked up on it by halfway through. I would have hoped that. Yeah.

[Fran]

I'm on high alert with your trip tricks this upcoming week.

[Fran]

Sorry. We appreciate it. Picture this. It's Monday morning. You open up your laptop and Outlook hits you with 87 unread emails. Your calendar now looks like a game of Tetris. Your boss wants a report. Your team wants a presentation. And you just want to take a nap. Enter Microsoft Copilot. Copilot summarizes your emails, and boom, you're caught up. It drafts your report in Word, it builds your slides in PowerPoint, and it even pulls insights from your Excel data. So, honestly, Monday morning, Friday morning, when you're listening to this, you want to get to the weekend. You can do it here. Suddenly, you're the office hero. You're organized, responsible. You're done early for the weekend, all because Copilot did the stuff you didn't want to. So if you want to reclaim your time and get your life together, try Microsoft Copilot. Copilot. Because sometimes the smartest move is letting AI do the work. Learn more [e-mail] M365 copilot42 re and friends.

You have to have a plan.

[Ria]

You can't act like everything's just gonna

[Fran]

work out by itself, Jerry. Why do I have to be the responsible grown up who worries? Why can't I be the cute, carefree Irish guy who sings all the time?

[Noah]

Hey, we're gonna get all the questions wrong. Halfway through.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Fran]

This is the perfect setup. Guys.

[Noah]

I wish we did that. But now it's funny. If you just went anyway, like that would be. That would completely throw you off. Over. If we brought it up like we wanted to prank it would.

Correct. April Fools. No, I'm just kidding.

No, well done. Well done. I'm being cranky. That's an incredibly easy question.

[Fran]

That was a gimme. I haven't seen that.
