Fran
What'S up, everyone?
Kelly
It's chicks in the office with Ria and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Friday. Happy Friday, everybody. Hopefully we're having a great week. And if not, we are here to make your week better. Ladies and gentlemen, but mostly ladies, how are we feeling? Francesca, we're hinting towards the weekend.
Fran
I know. I feel like I have been. It feels like this week has been so long already that by the time the game comes around, I'm like, the game. I almost forgot that I'm here for a game. Like, right? There's so. There's so much happening. I even just like saw Kelly this afternoon and Kelly was like, wow, was that, was that dinner last night? It's like, yes, it was. Yes. It was like we're just moving. We're. It's. It's so funny when everybody's together and there's so many different events and things going on and people running around that you're just kind of like time is moving slow. So I'm very excited for the game, the weekend. My family will all be here. They did also secure tickets. So everybody is going. Everybody is going.
Kelly
We needed your dad to be there. He's the good luck charm. And your mom, your mom was there too, right? When they won.
Fran
Yes.
Kelly
So your mom and your dad have to be at the game.
Fran
Yeah. Listen to this spin that I put on. Put on yesterday for the dozen, the Competition was Tuesday night. The experts lost again. And it was the final. Lost in the final. Now in Arizona, the experts won the super bowl edition of the Dozen Live. The Eagles then went on to lose the super bowl in Arizona. The experts lost in trivia. So I'm hoping that bodes well for the Eagles, because I was like, ooh, if we win the trivia game, you know, the Eagles loss, after that, I really. I really spun the loss in a. In a positive way for. For me to have more faith in the Eagles.
Kelly
I'm following. I am picking up what you are putting down, and I'm with it, honey.
Fran
I see.
Kelly
I had. Listen, yeah, I have a lot of faith in this game. I don't know why. I just feel it. And if I'm wrong, then, hey, I'm no expert, but I just. Something in the air. I don't know why. I just. I just feel it.
Fran
Look, I mean, and that just may.
Kelly
Be because I'm really rooting for that.
Fran
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Kelly
And for you. So I'm like, oh, hey, why not? It's going to happen. You never know.
Fran
I've been feeling more nervous because of the amount of people that have come up to me who have been like, I'm feeling good about the Eagles. You know, I feel like it's been everyone, and that is like. I'm like. I'm like, no, I'm like, stop. Not you. It's. You. Can. You can.
Kelly
I'll reel it in. I'll reel it in.
Fran
No, no, no. And not that anybody's like, look, not that anybody's random, per se.
Kelly
I'm drinking out of this mug that says warmest energies.
Fran
Amazing. Exactly. But, like, everybody was coming up to me at the dozen, being like, fran, how do you feel about the game? I'm feeling good about. Feeling good about the Eagles. Feeling good about the Eagles. I'm like, okay, this is making me more nervous now, guys, but the energy is picking up down here. New Orleans, we're recording now on Thursday. Just walking around, feels like there's a ton more fans early in the week. It's a little bit more quiet, but feels like there's a ton of fans running around. Everybody's in. There's in their jerseys, their shirts. Everybody throwing Go Birds left and right, you know, seeing some. Some Chiefs fans and. And just scowling at them as you walk past them, you know, no. No words exchanged. Just a scowl. Just a. And it's funny. I actually. I went to lunch with Gia and Kelly, and they are filming a couple things and for the sake of Taylor Swift and their show. Kelly is in a Chiefs sweater. And we went to lunch, and we were walking out, and there was a table of Chiefs fans by the door. They saw me. You know, it's. They scowl. They see Kelly going behind him. The dad looks at Kelly and goes, what you doing here? With her pointing at me? And we were just laughing as I. As I was walking out the door, I, like, yelled back. I was like, she doesn't even like the Chiefs. It's just. It is.
Kelly
Listen, now. It's the nature of the game, okay?
Fran
It is.
Kelly
I do have a question, aside from the game, because I have to say, like, I'm having a little bit of FOMO right now in a way that, like, whenever super bowl week rolls around, we've gone together a couple of times.
Fran
Yes.
Kelly
And then this time, I was like, I don't feel the need to go. Like, I don't feel like it's necessary. I'm just gonna go to Florida for the week.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly
But now that everyone's there, I'm like, damn, am I missing out? But then I just, like, look up at the sun, and I'm like, oh, no, it's okay. Like, I'm like. I'm like, you mean. You made the right choice. But I will say this.
Fran
It is hot here, by the way.
Kelly
No, it is hot, but you're not laying by.
Fran
No, no, no.
Kelly
You're not laying by the pool or going to the beach. So I feel like I made the right decision. Although, like, seeing everyone together, there's. There's super bowl parties coming up. The whole thing of, like, ah, Yeah. I felt left out when I heard that you guys had lobster bisque dumplings last night.
Fran
We did. We did.
Kelly
How good were they? How good were they?
Fran
They were really good. We went to a restaurant.
Kelly
That's what really got me. I was like, damn.
Fran
We went to restaurant. And honestly, an iconic trio of me, Kelly and Jeff D. Lowe, and Jeff.
Kelly
Texted me about the dumplings.
Fran
Yeah, we got. And honestly, like, the pressure Jeff put. Put on me because I took Jeff, Eddie, and Dana to Parkway for lunch on Wednesday, and we went to Parkway as a chicks in the office group when we were here for our live show and we were looking for a place for lunch. And, you know, I love these guys, but if somebody doesn't take the lead, they will walk in circles for an hour looking at every. Like, oh, should we go here? Should we go here? I was just like, all right, guys, if you're down, I'm calling An Uber. We're going to this place. Okay, great. Awesome. So we go. It's a success. Everybody liked it. It was a. It was a win. It's a delicious spot.
Kelly
So good, so good.
Fran
So Kelly and Jeff came to the table tennis tournament for a little ping pong action. And. And afterwards I was like, oh, should we go to dinner? What should we do? And Jeff was like, oh, friend, you already had a great choice today. I'll trust your judgment. I was like, oh, man, the pressure.
Kelly
The pressure, the pressure.
Fran
I'm like, I don't know New Orleans food that well, and we didn't wanna go too far. We're in the French Quarter, so we didn't go too far. And so we picked a spot, went to dinner, seafood spot. And it was delicious. And we sat down and the staff was amazing. I knew it was a win when we sat down and the waiter came up to our table and said that his name was Marlon. And I said, oh, no. We're at a seafood restaurant, Our waiter's name is Marlon. Like, it's just. It was.
Kelly
It's all perfect.
Fran
It was perfect. And then we got lobster dumplings, and then Jeff also got a lobster bisque for himself. So a little double up. I heard about the bisque, and he loved it. He loved it. We had a lovely meal. So now the pressure has been put on me, like, even going to lunch today with Kelly and Gia. Kelly was, like, afraid. Jeff said, you're two for two now. So where are we going? I was like, oh, oh, no. Hey, I think I'm three for three. I think I'm three for three. We had a tasty lunch as well.
Kelly
If there's anything I trust you with, it's going to be good food recommendations, good restaurant recommendations. I feel like we both live in that wheelhouse where we are scoping out the best of the best food restaurants. We got it covered. Me and you Italians, we know, we know the good food spots and be trusted.
Fran
Absolutely. Matt James would love to go out with us.
Kelly
Too soon?
Fran
Oh, man. No, but it's. It's been fun. The dozen was a ton of fun. I, you know, losing to, to Dana fights and Will Compton certainly stings a little bit, but Dana, his sports knowledge is just unbelievable. Like these questions, and he knows the answer in, like, four seconds. It's incredible. So it was a close one. I did. I did have a little bit of a bone to pick with Kelly. I can't blame her because, you know, bright lights, she wants her moment, and she took it. But they we lost by one point. They called her for celebrity mashup.
Kelly
For the mashup. And she gave it.
Fran
She gave it to him right in my face. Right at the event. She gave it to them. And in the mic, I looked at her out in the crowd, I said, kelly, I'll remember this one. I'll remember this one. And she was like, oh, Fran, you know, she.
Kelly
You know what? You can't blame her, because if she gets called on and she gets it wrong. Yeah, she doesn't want to be wrong.
Fran
No, she doesn't want to be wrong. But there's a way to say, guess what, guys, I know it, but you're playing Fran, and I'm not going to give it to you. And then the crowd would have went, oh, would have been a great moment. Would have been a great moment.
Kelly
It would have been. It would have been like.
Noah
It would have been awesome if she gave you. They gave them the wrong answer on purpose.
Fran
Yeah, that also. That also would have been funny. But yes, you know, lost by one. That. That. That was. That was okay, no big deal. No big deal. But just right now, I'm just losing things, so I'm hoping that bodes well for. For the rest of the weekend.
Kelly
You're getting it out of the way. You're getting it out of the way. The battle of the paddles, it wasn't even on you, Fran, you were the better hat. You were the better half of your team. Let's be completely honest. Not to sewer. Your other half. Yes, but you were the better half.
Fran
I think it was actually. It was really so much fun and enjoyable, and I actually got a lot of people in the DMs being like, wait, I thought you were, like, playing paddle, like, pickleball or like, paddle. I didn't realize this was ping pong. No, no, this is ping pong. Thank God.
Kelly
Excuse me, There is a paddle involved with ping pong.
Fran
Absolutely. The other sports are. Take a little bit more athleticism. Um, but, yeah, I think I. I think I impressed the group, which was really a goal for me. Right. I'm in front of these NFL players that are. That are star athletes. And I think Chris Olave definitely, you know, not to put words in his mouth because he was a quiet guy, was very sweet, but he was a quiet guy. I think when he saw I was his partner, he was like, oh, no. Like, I don't think he was maybe necessarily thrilled. Um, and then we played and we played against Pilot Pete and Michael Parsons, and in the first game, we won the first Game. It was best two out of three. We won the first game. We lost the the second two. But when we sat back down, he looked at me and was like, you, you play, you play this for real?
Kelly
You a regular at this.
Fran
Just the way he said it like made it made me think that he thought I like played in, in some league, like for fun or something. I also will probably get it on a T shirt or just a framed saying for myself that Kirk Cousins also told me I had game. He said, you got game? Wow.
Kelly
You got game, girl.
Fran
I said, oh my God. And oh my God, he was so nice. Rhea, he asked, so how long have you been doing your pod? We were chit chatting. He's like, oh. I said, oh. He's like, you do it once a week. I was like, oh no. Three times a week. He's oh, three times a week. He was so impressed. It was, it was lovely.
Kelly
When people find out we do the podcast three times a week, they act like we are doing like we are building houses from top to bottom. Like, like every time. It's very funny. Other, I don't even know how to name it. Like people that sort of work in the entertainment industry or maybe have a podcast of their own, whenever they find out that we do three times a week, they are shocked.
Noah
Yeah, I feel like also it's like sometimes you'll be doing interviews and they'll be like once this come out, like expecting it to weeks from now and you're like today. And they're like, what?
Kelly
They're like, wait, huh? Yeah.
Fran
Yeah, exactly. So I think that, I think that surprised him. But everybody was so nice. It was. I did get a little nervous to actually chirp Micah Parsons in person. I think that was fair. I was nervous in general and you know, in my head I was playing up a big game. They kept saying how I was such a big Eagles fan and then I think he started to look at me with like closed eyes and then I was like, oh my God, now it's like now and we are playing him.

I didn't know what happened in the moment, but in the first game, we're getting competitive, we're getting into it. I think everybody realized that I was like a decent ping pong players. They were like, okay, this is legit close match.
Kelly
We should focus.
Fran
Exactly. And I was looking for the ball or I was trying to hit it or something was happening. I wasn't looking across to the other team and I just look up and Pilot Pete's head is gushing blood, like for his forehead. There is blood dripping down his face. He's got a cut up here, he's got his. And literally he said something along the lines of like, oh my God, first the, the head injuries, first the bachelor, now this.
Kelly
Like, that was the exact thought. Seeing that, I was like, why is Pilot Pete's head always bleeding when he's not really. He's not competing. Competing in extreme sports. He just hits his head and starts.
Fran
Bleeding and he couldn't see it, obviously. And so at certain points I'm like, Pete, there is blood like it is flowing down your forehead like it is. You may be concussed. When I watch the video back of what happens, Micah Parsons, who was one of the, you know, strong for some context for, for the ladies who don't watch football. Micah Parsons, defensive lineman on the, on the Cowboys, he is so strong, so intense. He is coming at you like, if you're a quarterback, you are terrified of Micah Parsons. And Micah Parsons with his ping pong paddle in his hand, goes out like this. Just, like, full speed, like, ready to hit it back. And in his backswing, he just nails Pete in the face. Just paddle to the forehead. And I'm, like, looking back, I'm like, Pete might be concussed. Like, he. He really. He really took a hit. And I'm not gonna lie, I think that rattled me because it was a good tactic because the next two games, he just had blood dripping down his face. Like, every time we stopped in between plays, I kept looking up to be like, pete, like, are you good? And it was distracting because there was blood pouring down his face.
Kelly
I mean, that sucks. Repeat. Obviously. Hope he's okay. But awesome story for Pete going forward. Like, Micah Parsons hit me in the head with a ping pong paddle.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly
And now I'm scarred forever from this. And he has the golf cart memory from the Bachelor. And now from battle, the paddles has an injury from Michael Parsons.
Fran
And like I said, he couldn't see what it was like for the whole rest of the time we were out there during the.
Kelly
They wouldn't let him stop and, like, get a little.
Fran
No, no, he did. He did. He. He had a towel, and he was cleaning it up and whatever. And then they, you know, they found a band aid for him at certain breaks, but he didn't, like, have his phone or, you know, just actually see his face.
Kelly
Yeah.
Fran
So he sat down on the couch. He was like. He's like, fran, like, how bad is it? Like, he says it. He's like, is it like this thing? Because then he points to the one that he has from the Bachelor because he has a legit scar on his forehead.
Kelly
Like, wow.
Fran
You saw it in person over his eyebrow. Yes. And I was like, pete, don't worry. It's not. It's so not that bad. Like, you. I don't. He didn't need stitches or anything, but he was getting a little. Like a little golf ball, you know, like, it was bruised. Like, it was swelling.
Kelly
Oh, that is not what you want. Super bowl weekend. How is Pete going to flirt with the ladies with a big. A big cut in the middle of his head.
Fran
I know. So I said I was joking with one of his friends. I was like, oh, my God. He's got to. He's going to have quite this story to tell everybody at every single party he goes to for the rest of the weekend.
Kelly
That is true.
Fran
Well, I got hit in the face by Micah Parsons and just. And go ahead and tell that story. So it is. It is definitely A story to tell. It was a moment that I really like. I did did not expect that to happen during a ping pong tournament, but it did.
Kelly
It sure did. And you live to tell the tale about it. And we couldn't be happier that you got to witness this hand. Inside scoop.
Fran
Absolutely. By the way, I know that it's not a lot of, not a lot of sports on our show, but for those that watch or fans of the women in sports, Taylor Rooks was also playing with us.
Kelly
She is gorgeous. How beautiful is she in person?
Fran
Oh, my God, she's stunning.
Kelly
Oh, she is gorgeous.
Fran
She's stunning and she's so cool. And I, like, tried to play it cool with her to not be like, fangirl goals. You're my, like, everything you do I think is so cool. And when I see these women who like, have these jobs, I'm just like, it's just so cool because really, like, that was growing up. That was the job that I like. That was my dream job. Right? Like, and she is so fantastic. We're laughing on the couch, we're joking, we're cracking jokes. I'm like, oh my God, this is amazing. And then like towards the end as she was leaving, I was like, by the way, I just have to say, I'm such a big fan. Like, I really think you're. I just like, really think you're so amazing. And she is drop dead gorgeous. And she, she was so sweet. She, she took my phone number. She was like, ah, you know, And I was like, oh my God, you're so nice.
Kelly
That's so sweet. That's so sweet.
Fran
So nice. Honestly, I would.
Kelly
Super cool.
Fran
I would love to maybe down the line if what, you know, when she's in New York, I love to have her on our show because I think she is like, she is incredible and very impressive and. But it was funny. She immediately, like, first thing she asked me, she was like, are you, are you good at ping pong? And I was like, I was like, I'm decent. I'm kind of good. She was like, oh, come on. Like, everybody's sick. Everybody. But it was, it was a lot of fun. Wish I wish I came out with a win, but I didn't.
Kelly
You never know what's to happen this weekend.
Fran
I know. Shocker. Not shocker. Drake may fantastic at ping pong. So that was. He won the one on one doubles. Ping pong is way harder, I think, than playing one on one. I mean, you get injuries like Pete get smacked in the face. It's it's especially playing with bigger guys. You're. It's, it's very like you're crushed a little bit. Like, it's, it's a confined space. So when you have more room playing one on one, maybe they'll change it for, for tournaments. That was my suggestion because I, once I started playing, I wanted to keep playing. Like, I was like, damn, this sucks. Now I don't get to play like the, the fan, the sleaze fans. We only played doubles and then the NFL players did one on one. I understand. For time's sake, it would go on forever. Like, they're not trying to have a four hour stream of, of table tennis. But I just got the itch. Like, you know, you just. When you start playing. Then I was getting competitive and I was like, oh, I want to get back out there. And I was watching some of the NFL players play against each other and I was like, oh, I could be, I could beat them. I should be like, I want to be playing. So maybe they'll change it. But it was, it was, it was fun. It was fun.
Kelly
So I feel that, though, whenever you get a little practice with something with any kind of game like that, once you get the hang of it, you're like, I want to keep going. I want to, I want to show them I can win. So now you're waking up today, like, I wish there was a part two to battle of the paddle so I could come back stronger.
Fran
Seriously, I'm like, I mean, your partner.
Kelly
Would have to come back stronger, but that's besides the point.
Fran
No, I'm like, look, like, you did great. Ask me back next year. I'm ready to go, you know, right?
Kelly
Redemption story. You never know. You never know what could happen next year.
Fran
Exactly. I'm like, I'm ready. I'm ready to jump back in. But yeah, here we go, guys. We got Friday, super bowl weekend. The couple parties that we are headed to. It's just non stop action down here. You know, it's. And it's. You got Bourbon street shows, bands, everything, and the streets are alive. The go.
Kelly
A little bit of music, a little bit of food, a little bit of football.
Fran
The go. Birds are flying. So it's going to be, it's going to be a lot of fun the rest of the weekend.
Kelly
You're awesome.
Fran
You enjoying your time in the, in, in the sun? Oh, it's.
Kelly
It's lovely. I mean, I'm just getting out there, just soaking it all in for as long as I possibly can because I'm looking back at home, the weather, and I'm like, holy, gross. It's disgusting. And cold and rainy and snowy. And here is just 80 and sunny all day, every day. Like, it's insane how beautiful it is here right now. Picked a good week to come. I'm super pumped. Tomorrow or today when people listen to this. Matt's coming, my brother in law is coming. So we'll have some fun this weekend. Go out a little bit. And that's really it. I'm chilling. Super bowl on Sunday. We're gonna do a little cook in here. Actually cooked for my family last night. They love when I cook for them. They really do. They get really excited. I made. I made enchiladas for them last night, and Luca was loving the enchiladas.
Fran
Amazing.
Kelly
He was loving the enchiladas. I will say though, I'm. I'm very happy to spend a lot of time with my beautiful godson, because, you know, it's not. I don't get to see them every week because I live in Jersey City, they live on Long Island. I don't go home every week. I go home often, but I'm not there every week. So getting to spend consecutive days with him in a row and like, really soak up this time with him is just the best feeling. And in the pool with him and just like now he is, like, more comfortable with me, you know? Like, he gets so excited if I, like, pop in the room. He's like. And he starts like, clapping you do, you know, high fives and like all that cute stuff. So, yeah, I mean, what's not to enjoy? I will say, though, a little bit of. A little bit of fomo. Because part of me is like, yeah, I'm enjoying my time. The other part of me wants to be dancing on Bourbon street with you. So it's like a little bit of both, you know.
Fran
Look, I'll say it. I miss you.
Kelly
Oh, I miss you too. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Fran
It's not as satisfied. I was joking with Gia because obviously TJ is here as well, so that TJ is her boyfriend. And Kelly leaves today. So I said, you know, Gia, what do you got going on tonight? Because I said to her last week, I was like, don't forget about little old me. You know, I'm here. And she. So me and TJ Have a dinner reservation. I said, oh, okay, cool. Maybe invite you to the dinner reservation. No, I said, maybe I'll just go sit at the bar and wave to you from the same restaurant.
Kelly
She can't let you join in on the reservation. Come on.
Fran
They're going on a third wheel. Actually going on a date.
Kelly
I guess let them go on the date. But, yeah, no, we would be having fun. We would be having fun. But now I'll just be waving on the outside saying, have fun at the parties.
Fran
And this is where I start to text people that I don't like that I. That I'm friendly with, but I, like, don't knew. I don't know New Orleans well enough to be like, hey, like, meet me here and let's grab a drink or like, whatever, you know? So I'm just like, hey, like, you gonna be in New Orleans? I'm here if you want to meet up. Like, just hoping somebody invites me to something.
Kelly
It seems like it changes each year because, like, when we were in la, it didn't feel like many people were there for the super bowl, which was weird because it was la.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly
This year, it seems like everybody is going to super bowl week at the Super Bowl. Like, every influencer, whatever is there. And I'm like, I guess it just depends on the year.
Noah
Or I feel like it might be the place because it always depends on the more like, compact. And it's like that one street, everyone's there. LA is like, so gigantic that you could be everywhere.
Fran
And I think that's kind of how, like, it's. It depends on the city. Last year in Vegas, it's. Everybody wanted to be in Vegas because it's like, oh, what's. It's good excuse to be in Vegas. I think same thing with New Orleans. Next year is San Francisco and everybody's already talking about, like, oh, not dying to be at that one. I said that there is absolutely no reason that the super bowl should not be at a warm destination every year.
Kelly
Like, I agree.
Fran
Sorry to the. Sorry to the cold states or that are. That get cold in the wintertime, but it is 10 times more enjoyable when it. When it's warm and there's fun stuff to do outside. So come say hi.
Kelly
You want to come say hi?
Fran
Oh, say hi. Yes.
Kelly
Don't be shy.
Fran
Is he being shy?
Kelly
He's being shy lately.
Fran
Oh, he said he's got a little shy boy act going.
Kelly
I guess so. He asked about you the other night. He said, where's Franny? And I thought he meant.
Fran
Oh, you were talking about. I thought we were talking about Luca.
Kelly
I also.
Noah
I also did. I was like. He asked about Fran also, like, I.
Fran
Absolutely would have never said, is your grandpa being a Little shy boy. I thought we were talking about a one year old.
Kelly
No, no, no. I was. I was talking about my Nano. He asked about you the other night. He said, where's Franny? But I thought he was talking about my cousin Fran. And I said, cousin Franny? He said, no, your friend. And I said. I was like, oh, she's at the Super Bowl. She's a big Eagles fan. The Super Bowl Sunday. I said, yeah, she's there for the week.
Fran
You got to try to explain super bowl week.
Kelly
Yeah, right.
Fran
That's true. I haven't seen him. I haven't seen him in a while. Since the last time we all got together.
Kelly
No, he wanted to hang out. He smokes with my sister a lot. And the other night. The other night I went to dinner with Emma and Julie from Comments by Celebs Love. Those girls were super close. We ended up being here at the same time. So we got dinner the other night and my sister texted me and was like, I just smoked with Nano. And now he won't stop telling me a story for 30 minutes in full Italian, knowing my sister doesn't speak Italian. And my sister sent me the video and I genuinely couldn't stop laughing. Like, he's just babbling on and on and on. He's not going in and out of, like, Italian, English. He's speaking fluent Italian. And my sister's just going, wow. No way.
Fran
Wow.
Kelly
And I'm like, he got so high, he just forgot. He just started speaking in full Italian.
Faith
Yeah.
Kelly
He was like, fudge this. I'm done trying to speak English.
Fran
He went back going, full Italian, full native tongue.
Kelly
He also does this thing where he tells me that because he was a hairdresser and my grandma was also a hairdresser, but they both owned different salons in two different towns on Long Island. And he always tells me certain celebrities came into his salon, but I just don't believe it. Like, we were watching Goodfellas the other night and he said, he was telling me, said, oh, they all used to come into my salon. I said, ray Liotta came into your salon? And he was like, yes, Ray Liotta came into my salon. And then the next day, I was like, ray Liotta went into Nano salon? And my mom was like, no, really didn't go into his salon? What do you think? He. He knows that he could lie to you guys, and because we're not around, he knows that we're going to. You're going to be able to lie?
Fran
Yeah, he just.
Kelly
He says some funny Funny shit. When my parents aren't around, I think he thinks he's like, it's my time. It's my time to shine. It's my time to lie to my granddaughters. And we eat it up. He plays this game. It's scopa, right? It's the Sicilian Card game.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly
I don't even know if I'm saying it right, but yep. Every time we play, he changes the rules of the game. Okay. Every single time. And somehow he always ends up winning because he changes the rules mid game. And I'd be like, no, I told you this is what this means. And me and my sister are like, no, that's not what it means. You didn't tell us that last time. You just changed the rules. You're cheating. Oh, you're cheating. You're cheating. How are we cheating? You're winning the game. You're winning the game, old man.
Fran
He is.
Kelly
He is funny. So since Matt's coming this weekend, I said to Nano, I said, no, no, Are you gonna play tennis with Matt? He goes, I play tennis with Matt. I said, matt's gonna kick your ass in tennis. He starts cracking up. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, right. I love to see Matt try and kick my ass in tennis. Like, he starts, like, impersonating me. So now Matt's like, you want me to go like, full hard against your grandfather in tennis? I was like, yes. You need to bring your A game. You cannot. This man beats every. Everybody in everything. He never loses in tennis to anybody. He plays in my family. He always wins. I need you to bring your best game. He's like. He's like, listen. He's like, I will play. You know, I'll play good. I'm not gonna whack it around to your 87 year old grandfather, but if you give me a look, like a little nod, like it's time, then it's go time. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go as hard as I can. I was like, yeah, we'll. We'll feel it out. We'll see how he's playing. And then I'll give you a little nod like, all right, it's time to smoke him.
Fran
Hell yeah. I love it. He. He is just a laugh a minute. We haven't.
Kelly
It's.
Fran
It's fun when you do get to spend time with him because then we get new nonno stories and. Yeah, it's. I mean, it's pure entertainment.
Kelly
It's sad to say, but he is 87 years old.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly
Right. So of course I do Love to take in every single moment with him. And I, every time we're talking, I sit there and I say to myself, like, really taken this conversation because one day you're going to look back and go, remember those ridiculous conversations I had with Nano? So, yeah, he. He doesn't smoke cigarettes, but yesterday we saw him steal a cigarette and go behind the house. And me and my sister were like, nono, you smoke cigarettes now he's waving in the air. He's like, no, it's for the mosquitoes. It's for the mosquitoes. I'm like, there's no mosquitoes out for the mosquitoes. What do you mean it's for the mosquitoes?
Fran
Just feeling a little stressed with everybody in the house.
Kelly
I think so. And I think he's at that age where he just doesn't give a shit, which he really shouldn't at this point. Absolutely. But he is. He is a funny man. But, yeah, I can't wait for the weekend. I can't wait for everybody else to be here. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We're going to be talking about some topics. Madison lacroix announced she's expecting her second child first with her husband Brett. There's going to be a victorious spin off show for Trina. I have some thoughts about this. Timothee Chalamet will be interviewing Kendra Kumar. I mean, what a perfect crossover for this podcast. Rihanna has recorded new original music for the Smurfs movie. And TMZ reports that Taylor Swift is upset with Blake Lively referring to her as her dragon. And we have a great game of trivia, so let's get into it.
Fran
Chicks in the office is sponsored by Truly. I've got a nice ice cold Truly right here. We got them in in the little studio setup that we have out here in New Orleans, which is great. Truly hard seltzer is light, refreshing, easy to drink. It is only 100 calories, 1 gram of sugar, 5% ABV. Truly is delicious, especially now being down here in New Orleans. The vibes are great. It's warm out. You want to have a nice seltzer, enjoy the day. Truly is perfect. Comes in delicious flavors like strawberry, lemonade, pineapple, and the fan favorite, wild berry. I have the cherry in my hand right now, which is one of my favorites. I love anything cherry flavored. It's delicious. So it's time, really, like if you're prepping for the game, whatever you got going on this weekend, make sure you are stocked, locked and loaded with your Truly ready to go find Truly at a store near you or visit trulyhardselter.com and make sure you have your Truly ready to go. Enjoy, relax and enjoy that, you know, light, refreshing flavor of Truly.
Kelly
Congratulations to Madison lacroix who announced that she is expecting her second child first with husband Brett. Just some happy, go lucky news right there.
Fran
I was going to say, just start off right at the top with some exciting, happy news. I. I'm thrilled for her because if you're watching Southern Charm, you know that it's something that they have talked about for a while and Brett has been dealing, you know, in the last year or so dealing with some health issues, and they've talked about that on the show as well. And she has made it very clear that she wanted to have another kid with, you know, with Brett and move in that direction. So this is so exciting. I'm so happy for her. Very exciting. The pregnancy announcement was a clear blue, you know, little paid ad for clear blue, which, you know, it's Truly, if clear blue comes knocking, you just answer. It's like, oh, yeah, sure. I mean, I'm gonna post I'm pregnant anyway. Why not get paid for it?
Kelly
I wonder how much they get paid. That's where my mind goes. I'm like, this better be a good deal, right? Because I know sponsored posts for your pregnancy. It's gotta be right. It's gotta be worth it.
Fran
And it's like a whole photo shoot, too. So, of course, like, they have the moment where she really does find out she's pregnant, which is not being photographed. Maybe they documented it themselves for, for their own photo video moments. And then you have, I guess, the opportunity where you, you tell the right people, like, hey, I'm. I'm pregnant when I. When I announce it. Let's get clear blue on this thing, right?
Kelly
I mean, for the right price, they get the. Get a good announcement going because I can't imagine, you know, they come with a low price, like, hey, can we sponsor your pregnancy post? It's like, that's not worth it. Then they come back and they're like, how about this price?
Fran
I think they pay a lot.
Kelly
And then they're like, all right, let's talk about it. Do we really care that we're going to be using a sponsored pregnancy post? Not for that price.
Fran
Exactly. And it's a beautiful photo. But like, this, the shoot that she looks. She is stunning. I mean, she's.
Kelly
She is.
Fran
She's so.
Kelly
Actually texted you that the other day.
Fran
Yeah, you did. You did.
Kelly
She. And I was like, she's so pretty.
Fran
Yeah, she. She really, really is. So that is so exciting. And we'll see what. I know that the Southern charm, I think from, you know, what we were told from Austin and Post, like they're filming the reunion now or soon or whatever. So that's gonna be interesting to see what, what comes out of that. I was gonna say if there's any other Bravo stuff that I've seen because a lot of interviews have been popping up, a lot of snippets of people saying, oh, deux, moi. This is what I said. I said this before. Deuxmoi says that Lindsay and the. Her boyfriend, the father for child.
Kelly
I forgot about that.
Fran
Have broken up now. There's no, there's no evidence, no nothing to back this up. She just made a post and said this is what she has heard, that this has happened. So we really don't have any more details than that. But Dumas saying that they have, that they have split up. So if that is true, that makes me sad for Lindsay because it's just like that's. That's tough. You're a new mom, young baby breakup. And it was. Everything moved very fast. We all know that. It's like they've been dating for only a few months really before she had gotten pregnant. So you hope that you can make it work. But of course you don't really have like time on your side to fully know somebody. So I don't know. We don't know. We don't have any. It's a full blown rumor.
Kelly
Right? There hasn't been any confirmation, but if it is the case, I do feel bad. Just had a baby. Like that is not what you root for whatsoever. To have a split right after you have a baby. And then you have to learn not only are you adjusting how to have a baby in the first place, you're then adjusting to co parenting right away. So that I hope that's not the case. But you never know, especially with Dumois hit or miss. So who knows? But if it was floated out there, I would say maybe leaning towards that possibly being true.
Fran
Totally.
Kelly
You know.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly
Yeah. Moving on. Victorious is getting a spin off about Trina Vega. Now maybe people aren't familiar with Victorious, but Victoria justice was the main star. Trina played her sister. We also had Ariana Grande on that show who played Cat. Cat, Valentine, Sack, Cass. So we go back in time where Ariana Grande got a spin off show from Victorious. Sam and Cat. Now we're going ahead of time where now Trina Trina Vega gets a spin off. Where is the justice for Victoria justice who continues to get left out of things and just, I feel like gets the short end of the stick after being the star of Victorious.
Fran
You know, where's the, where's the Victorious spinoffer? Victorious?
Kelly
Yeah, right. Where is, where is Victoria Justice's moment? Because when it, when, when Victorious was on, it wasn't even about Victoria Justice. Okay, everybody, Ariana Grande is the best singer on the show. They did that little interview that, that always goes viral. I think we all sing. When they asked who sings the most, they would say Ariana. And then when Victoria was asked, she was like, I think we all sing. So that was a whole thing. Now Trina is getting a spin off. Sam and Cat, like, Victoria justice was never the true star of Victorious. And I hate to say it, you know, I feel like she just kind of got looked over a little bit.
Fran
No, that's, that's so fair. I saw there's something that, that I, that I saw she was in recently and I was like, hell, yeah. And now I forget. Oh, the Suits la. She's in the. She's in the Suits LA show.
Kelly
Well, good for her. I'm pumped then.
Fran
Yes, yes, yes. I think that's. That, that should be great. Now, as far as the Trina spinoff goes, Daniella Monet will be. Will be reprising her role, and she will be returning to her old stomping grounds as the newest teacher at Hollywood's most elite performing arts school. She will also serve as an executive producer. And I think they're going through casting right now as well. So that's a new one. Here's the thing with, like, these, the, especially the Nickelodeon ones too, that they do. I mean, really, Nickelodeon or Disney? It's both of them. They, they do these spinoffs, but then it's just they get people excited that are so and so our age, that are the ones that are attached to these characters or remember, these characters are like, oh, my God, Trina Vegas, spin off the whole thing, whatever. Victoria spinoff. But then the show is made for kids. It's, it's, you know, it's. She's. She's going to be the teacher. There's going to be a whole new set of high school kids or that she's, she's going to be teaching and a whole new set of celebs. But it's, you know, the concept comes from Victorious, but it is, you know, just basically another version of Victorious just in the same, you know, Cinematic universe.
Kelly
Right. It's more just like a congratulations to Danielle Monet for getting another show right. In which we won't be watching. Right. Because, like, your initial reaction is like, oh, yay. Because, like, your younger self is excited, but when you really break it down and you put on the first episode of the show, you're like, yeah, I probably won't be continuing to watch this. It's a kid show now.
Fran
It's the same thing with the.
Kelly
Congrats to her for getting. Getting the role and, you know, having a job and reprising that, but not gonna be for us.
Fran
Yeah. It's the same thing with the wizard show. Like, it's so exciting. Happy for them. They get to go back to those characters. But, you know, it's. It's about their children, and it's still a children's show.
Kelly
Right. And we're probably not going to be tuning into that.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly
But regardless.
Fran
No, it's.
Kelly
Sometimes I just feel like Victoria justice was never really recognized as the true star of that show.
Fran
So fair. So fair.
Kelly
And she was so talented.
Fran
So fair.
Kelly
But unfortunately, Ariana Grande was the best singer on the show. And yeah, it's.
Fran
You're. She's gonna beat really anybody in a. In a.
Kelly
Right.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly
Contest.
Fran
Yeah. Y.
Kelly
Right. You're doing a singing contest. Ariana Grande. Yeah, probably. You know, moving on. This is just perfect for this show. Chicks in the office. Timothee Chalamet is going to interview Kendrick Lamar ahead of his halftime performance. How did these two link up? How did this happen? How did this come to be? I don't care. I'm just happy it's happening. You know, I don't care about the logistics, although I do, you know, if we can hear a story of how this came about. I love it. But sometimes the little mystery of two people you wouldn't expect to get together. Coming together. I'm good with that. I know Timothee Chalamet is a huge fan of rap music in general. Throwback to little Timmy Tim.
Fran
Mm. Mm. Exactly. I think. I don't know. Somebody at Apple Music must have just at their big. Their big brainstorm meeting said, you know what? Forget who's the Apple music guy? Zane Lowe. Is that his name? Yeah. Step aside for this one. We're sending in Chalamet.
Kelly
Who's the one you don't really like? Noah.
Noah
That's him.
Kelly
Zane Lowe.
Noah
He's just like. I don't know, something about him, like, kind of gives a little pretentiousness, but fair. This tells me kind of that Kendrick Lamar is a Tim D. Chalamet fan.
Kelly
I cannot wait to watch this interview. Like, this is. This is magic waiting to happen here.
Fran
Yep.
Kelly
I just picture I feel like Timothy.
Noah
Watching, like, the Bob Dylan movie and being like, wow, I love this guy.
Kelly
I feel like Timothy is going to be so nervous.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
I don't know.
Fran
You really just. All we have is that clip of him of, like, they're like, I'm. I'm so looking forward to seeing, like, what songs you sing. Yeah. It's just. That's it.
Noah
I feel like their vibes kind of match. Like, they're both, like, very, like, kind of low key and quiet. I was watching the Kendrick Lamar did, like a super Ball, like, press conference type thing today. And it was funny because he's. It's so clear that everyone is, like, instructed. You cannot, like, bring up Drake's name and, like, don't directly reference Drake. So every question is kind of just like, oh, this last year was so crazy for you. Like, what a big year. But, like, not actually referencing anything specific. So I'm sure that's how it'll be tomorrow too.
Fran
Yeah, it's.
Kelly
I feel like. Yeah, it's so hard to bounce around it because it's about the song. It was the biggest thing to happen and it is what the song is about. And he literally just won four Grammys for it. So. Five. Sorry, sorry. Five. Five Grammys for it. So sorry, Noah. So it's hard to not directly address it, but I. I was gonna say I understand it, but I guess I don't because, like, I think I get.
Noah
It from his point. He just doesn't want. Because I think there are a lot of people that, like, he doesn't want to make it seem like Drake is the story here. And, like. And he's only here because, like, of Drake, it's like, I think he wants it to be about, like, the music.
Kelly
But to be fair, kind of is because of Drake. But it's not that Drake sat down and wrote those songs. Kendrick did that himself. Kendrick produced great music when it came down to the. To the battle. But what was the inspiration?
Noah
I. I also feel like he actually hates. He hates Drake so much that it's like, I don't want to talk about this guy.
Kelly
Right. I hate him so much. I'm gonna release all these diss tracks about him. I'm gonna win awards about the diss tracks I write about him. But please do not mention his name to me.
Noah
Have you seen that? Like, it. I don't know it was reported by someone that he's playing not like us at super bowl, which is like, obviously he's gonna play that. But now everyone's speculating. Like, with the Drake lawsuit, will he have to, like, leave out some of those lyrics? Or is he just gonna say it? Or is he gonna just, like, let the crowd say people are like, with the lawsuit, the NFL and everyone might be worried about, like, him actually calling him a pedophile and all that.
Kelly
Right, right, right. That's a good point. I could imagine the entire crowd, including Fran, going a minor.
Fran
Yeah, I was going to say, I feel like he could just do a fill in the blank moment. Like, just, like, just. I think that'll be cool. Just tee it up and then have everybody else sing it. I saw there's basically what they did at the Grammys.
Noah
There was a tweet that they were like, they're just gonna have someone on stage that, like, holds up a sign that says allegedly, like, after every lyric.
Kelly
That would be kind of funny if they did that.
Fran
You know what would be very funny?
Kelly
Drake is a betting man. That man loves to gamble. He loves to watch sports. Imagine this year he's like, so fucking pissed he can't go to the super bowl because Kendrick's performing.
Noah
He's literally in Australia. He went as far away as possible.
Kelly
He literally went across. Across the world to avoid anything having to do. He literally performed at one of the super bowl parties last year.
Fran
True.
Noah
I mean, this has been literally.
Kelly
He was a surprise performance last year.
Noah
It's hard to say that, like, this week isn't worse than the week that, like, the song came out. But this is a tough week for him. Like the Grammys and then Super Bowl. Like, I saw him.
Fran
I saw him in Arizona, too. He performed at one of the. At the. One of the parties I was at.
Kelly
Drake lives for the Super Bowl. Did not this week, though. Not this week. And the Grammys being last Sunday. Super bowl this way. He's like, fuck it. Peace out. I'm going to Australia. I'm surprised he didn't fly to Turks and Caicos. That's his spot. But he's in Australia.
Fran
That he's got to go farther.
Kelly
He's in. Yeah. He had to go so far into a different time zone that'll fuck up his body that he's asleep when the Super Bowl's on. He's got to just ignore the whole thing. He's. He's like. He's probably playing. He's probably playing with kangaroos. Oh, what The Super Bowls are. The Chiefs may win three and three in a row.
Noah
If I'm Drake, you like, there's no. Like, I can't go to sleep while the super bowl is on. Like, you're not. You're telling me that he's just gonna be like, he's not gonna wake up and watch the performance. Like, I need to see what Kendrick does here.
Kelly
He's going to be eyes glued to the super bowl and if it's not directly on his screen, he's looking at his phone, watching. What are people saying about this? What is Andrew doing? What did he say on stage?
Noah
He's the same way for the Grammys. Like. Like, there's no way. He's not interested in what's happening because it's about him. Like, you're telling me the whole world's watching this guy call you a pedophile and you're not gonna, like, tune in?
Kelly
No, you're tuned. You're definitely in tune to what's happening. Maybe he's not directly tuning in, but he knows exactly what's happening. But I'm excited for this interview. By the time our episode comes out, the interview with Kendrick and Timothy will be out. It's releasing 7am on Friday.
Noah
So, people, Drake did announce a new album on Valentine's Day with Party Next Door.
Kelly
Drake has a new album coming out on Valentine's Day, a party next year.
Noah
It's a. Yeah. And that their collab album's coming out on Valentine's Day. I think it's called like, I don't know. I think that's like next week.
Kelly
Yeah, yeah, that's next Friday.
Noah
It's like no one knows or cares because Kendrick is just like all anyone's talking about. But I think the album's called Some Sexy Songs.
Kelly
I'm down for that.
Noah
Like, the. The preview that he posted is like, very much in that vein. I'm Valentine's Day type.
Kelly
Yeah, I like some Party Next Door songs.
Noah
And then, yeah, his Australian.
Fran
I don't see a single post about it.
Noah
He posted like a video, like a reel and like the caption says it. But. And then at this concert last or like whenever this was, the past few days in Australia, he was like, I have a solo album, like, when the time is right. Like, like I need, like to have a conversation, just me. Just like teasing all this stuff.
Kelly
But yeah, Drake delivering a sexy comeback.
Fran
Interesting.
Kelly
It will arrive. Sexy songs for you. A joint project with Party Next Door. Yeah. I mean, hey, people are still going to listen. It's Drake, you know, yeah, I'll be turning in same. It's not that type of thing where people are like, oh, no one's going. People, people listen. It's straight.
Fran

Moving on. More Music Related Rihanna recorded original music New original music for the Smurfs movie. When I originally saw this headline, I jumped up, beaming, smiling, yes, Rihanna new music. And then I just fell back down into my chair when I realized it was for the Smurfs movie. And I said to myself, why? Why is Rihanna making music for the Smurfs movie and not actual music? Which I respect because she's got a lot going on. She's got $1 billion business, she's got a family, her husband, boyfriend, baby daddy, whatever, ASAP Rocky is to her is on trial right now. So there's a lot going on. But then I thought, did she do it for her kids? You know, do her kids love the Smurfs? Like maybe that's why. Like why? Why the Smurfs movie? This is like Justin Timberlake and Trolls.
Fran
I can tell you why. They're probably paying her a truckload amount of money, right? To say, like the studio's like, hey, we want a Rihanna original for, for Smurfs and here's millions of dollars for One song. And you're like. She's like, okay, I'll do one song for. I'll do one song for the Smurfs.
Kelly
And who could blame her?
Fran
But you know what?
Kelly
As a fan, we all get really excited when we see the headline, and then we just go, womp, womp, Smurfs. We'll still listen.
Fran
I was gonna say it. Just because it's for the Smurfs doesn't mean the song isn't gonna be catchy as hell. I know that people have their feelings about can't stop this feeling, you know, was it was played nonstop for so long, and now it is always at every wedding event. Like, you're, you know, you're constantly hearing that song. But it's from the troll. It was originated from the Trolls movie. So if we're thinking, like, we could. We could get an absolute banger pop song from Rihanna for. For. For the Smurfs.
Kelly
You're right. We could be working with an award winning song coming.
Fran
Something about being blue. Who knows?
Kelly
You're right. The. The possibilities are endless. And we get. I guess we will just take what we can get, you know, as Rihanna fans. If Rihanna wants to give us a new song and it happens to be for the spurs movie, we're gonna take it. We just were greedy, and we're greedy because it's been a long time.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly
I have to say, you know how we talked about, like, the time she's.
Fran
One of the Smurfs?
Kelly
Oh, well, yeah.
Noah
She's changed her profile picture to, like a Smurf version of her profile.
Fran
Well, now we just sound like. Okay, yeah, now we just sound like idiots.
Kelly
We sound really.
Fran
Now we just sound like idiots. She is smart. She's Smurfette. She's quite literally the lead Smurf.
Kelly
Well, I take back.
Fran
So of course she's singing for it.
Kelly
I take back everything I just said, you know, I take back. Oh, I want to take back the last four minutes, to be honest, of everything I said.
Fran
Yep, yep.
Kelly
And just say Rihanna is Smurfette in the Smurfs movie and she's releasing new music for the Smurfs movie because she is a Smurf.
Fran
Yep. That's the. And that's the whole. That's the whole story. There is. There's no commentary, really, that goes with it. Like, she is playing Smurfette. So she has a song in the movie, period.
Kelly
I'm disappointed in us. But we'll move forward from this. Wait, I'm looking at. Okay, right now.
Fran
I'm to be honest, I don't even know that she. I didn't even know this. I really. I did not know that she was actually playing a Smurf one day ago.
Kelly
Which I guess I'm blaming the Instagram algorithm for this because somehow everything gets fucked up on this algorithm and you don't see things. One day ago, she wrote in my blue era, and she posted that like she's Smurfette and she wrote Smurfs movie. And then the next one, eight hours ago, Smurfs movie in theaters July 18th. So if, like, I would have just went to her Instagram, I would have seen one day ago, she posted herself as the friggin Smurfette.
Fran
I hear some people, it's like that you follow and you just don't get their content. Like how it happens with how everybody. Like, how is Rihanna not showing up on my feet, but how is my.
Kelly
Good friends not even showing up?
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Kelly
You know, like the algorithm. Just go back to the chronological order of Instagram. That's all I'm asking for. Instagram is to go back into chronological order. Where when I scrolled on my feed, it said Posted 3 minutes ago. Posted 56 minutes ago. Posted 3 hours ago. I want it in chronological order. I don't want A post from 4 days ago popping up on my feed. I just want it in order. The non chronological post is what TikTok's for. Okay? I want Instagram to go back to their chronological posts. And then we would have seen Rihanna's post. Freaking Instagram.
Fran
We would have known that anyways. We would have known that eight hours ago she posted the full trailer for the movie where she.
Kelly
And I guess we're gonna have to buy tickets to go to 2018. I guess we have to go July 18th.
Fran
All right, so let's just ignore that entire topic. We'll pretend we didn't do that.
Kelly
And yeah, no, I cut this out.
Fran
And that we knew she was a Smurfette the entire time. Okay, next topic.
Kelly
Rihanna is releasing new music for the Smurfs movie because she is a Smurfette.
Fran
Literally, the Smurfette. She is Smurfette. She's playing Smurfette.
Kelly
So I do want to say that you know how we've talked about dinner times, like when we eat dinner.
Fran
Yes.
Kelly
And mine's like, usually on the earlier side.
Fran
Yes.
Kelly
Not this damn early, though. My dad texted me at 4:30. Dinner is ready whenever you are. It's 4:30.
Fran
4:30.
Kelly
It's 4:30.
Fran
No, 4:30 is ridiculous. No, 4:30 is Ridiculous.
Kelly
This is a ridiculous.
Fran
4:30 is.
Kelly
No, it's ridiculous. And I. And I won't even say it's because of my Nonno. Because my nonno refuses to go to sleep until 12am yeah, he won't leave the case. His bedtime is 12am how does he.
Fran
Make it that late without having another dinner? I don't know if I'm eating dinner at 4:30. I'm. I'm hungry.
Kelly
I'm having.
Fran
And I'm staying up till 12. I'm hungry again at 9pm Right.
Kelly
I'm having a second dinner. Yeah, like this is. It's 4:30. It's 4:30. Whatever.
Fran
4:30.
Kelly
My mom made chicken college, though, so I'm happy about that. But beautiful. Yeah.
Fran
Okay, last topic.
Kelly
Last time, last topic. TMZ reported that Taylor Swift is apparently none too pleased with Blake Lively. A source very close to Taylor Swift told TMZ she's not happy with what has gone down with Blake Lively. Blake Lively referring to her as one of her dragons. She also believes that the timing of the meeting with Justin and Taylor, that Blake had planned that so that Taylor would show up around the same time that Justin was leaving and that they would have to cross paths. The source said that Taylor said nothing to Justin besides the fact that she was super excited to meet him because that is her friend's boss. Which felt like was a line thrown in there. Like, I don't know if Taylor directly said to Justin Baldoti, I'm so excited to meet you. You're my friend's boss. But who knows? This rumor about Taylor Swift being upset with Blake Lively kind of started last week or the week before from other outlets, but not confirmed. I feel like when TMZ gets a hold of something, sometimes there's some more confirmation there because other sources will tell TMZ things. Who knows? I go back and forth on this. Part of me believes, like, when Wells put that video out and was like, taylor Swift is probably looking at this like, I'm not your dragon. I sort of had the same reaction. Like, Taylor's got to be like, excuse me, I'm no one's minion. I'm no one's dragon. Do not refer to me as such. But they are super close friends, so maybe that, you know, maybe there's something they can get past. And maybe she saw the text and got upset and is not holding it against her. I don't know. I really want to know the dynamics now. I want to know more.
Fran
It's it's become such a hotter topic now because she has been named and there's rumors that she could be deposed within the lawsuit and have her then that would have to be on record that the lawyers would then talk to Taylor. But the TMZ article reads Taylor came to Blake's apartment. This is a. But sometimes I also think like that it's all bullshit. I don't know like for tmz. A well connected source close to Taylor tells tmz, I just Taylor keeps such a close circle that I just don't find like anybody that's actually close with Taylor talking to, talking to tmz. But here's, you know, here's what it says. Taylor came to Blake's apartment at the time Blake told her to, not knowing anyone else would be there. In other words, Taylor had no idea there was a meeting going on with Justin. The source goes on to say Justin was about to leave after the two hour meeting as Taylor walked in and she was introduced to him for the first and only time. We're told all Taylor said to Justin was how excited she was to see the movie because he was her friend's boss. Our source says Taylor believed Blake timed her meeting with Justin so Taylor would arrive before he left and is baffled by Blake letter later characterizing her as her dragon. The source adds it's weird to say that about a friend. Then there's a picture of the text again. The source says Taylor is also learning Blake has been inappropriately leveraging her name for a long time. Like telling a young actress that Taylor quote cast her. Which simply did not happen. TMZ dropped a new podcast Wednesday where they asked Justin's lawyer about subpoena subpoenaing Taylor for a deposition. This, you know, could potentially have a big falling out. Taylor's godmother to one of Blake and Ryan's kids. But one source close to Blake has a different take telling tmz Blake believes the relationship is not strained with the two still talking regularly. Another source close the situation says Taylor was pissed about the extent to which she was involved and specifically she was angry about the dragon's remark. But Blake has since apologized and they had a good cry and hugged it out. That to me feels way more realistic. I know like TMZ is going to go with the more sensationalized part of the story first, which is a source saying that she's pissed this, that and the other thing. She got set up at the meeting, the whole thing. At the end of the day it probably went down More like that of like it's Blake's. One of her best friends sees that text sometimes. You know, when you have the most famous woman in the world as your best friend, you maybe get a little cocky and throwing it around a little bit. I think Blake got a little cocky. She said that throughout that dragon's text. It was a weird fucking text to send. I think from the other things we've read, Blake may have a wacky sense of humor and thought that maybe it be interpreted as funny. I don't know. Regardless, it was weird and I think that Taylor probably was, I'd imagine, annoyed. If it was me, I'd be annoyed. So I don't, you know, I don't, I don't know how you're not, but once again, it is one of her best friends. So it's something that you're like, hey, why the fuck are you calling me your dragon? Like, that's. And Blake like being like, oh my God, I got caught up. I don't know, like I was, I don't know why I said that. Like I was trying to like, strong, maybe like big, big bro him a little bit. Like I was trying to, you know, whole thing. And I'd imagine Taylor being like, okay, it's fine, just, you know, cut it out.
Kelly
Never fucking do that again.
Fran
Just like cut it out.
Kelly
And you're my dragon, bitch.
Fran
Yeah, like the article said, like they're, they're so close godmother to the kids. Like there's just so many connections in so many different ways that I don't think something like this causes a complete breach. I think something like this, like, I think you're fucking annoyed. I think you're like, wow, I really wish I wasn't dragged into all this. And now like, could potentially be subpoenaed to, to have to, you know, speak on record in court. Right. And that's, you know, a pain in the ass at the end of the day. Like, this is not Taylor's problem, this is Blake and Ryan's problem. So I'm sure as trying to be a good friend, it's like, yeah, I'll help you in any way that I can. This is fucking annoying. But okay.
Kelly
Right, right. Like you're pissed, you don't want to be dragged into it, but such like one of your best friends, I can't imagine this being like a friendship breaking thing.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly
But something that you're definitely annoyed about and in the end, pause probably turns out okay, but you're like, just never do that again. And you probably seriously have to apologize a ton. Like, totally sorry that I dragged you into that.
Fran
Yeah, totally. And, and look, depending on the whole outcome of this whole thing, maybe it is a friendship breaking thing, but I, you know, I don't know how many pictures we're going to see of them, like heading into New York restaurants together anytime soon.
Kelly
Not a chance. Not a chance. Taylor is not being spotted with Blake Lively anytime soon. I'm wondering how the press is going to go down for a simple favor with Anna Kendrick. Is Anna Kendrick going to do press with Blake Lively? Because if I'm Anna Kendrick, I'm probably like, I don't know if this is the best thing right now. Like how do you handle this whole situation is probably a mind fuck of trying to. You want to promote your own movie. But she's in the spotlight right now in not a great way. How do we go about. This is probably. You're probably very confused also. If you're great friends with her, you want to be there and support her and be her friend, but then you're as big as Taylor Swift and your name. If Taylor Swift's name wasn't being dragged into it and she wasn't used in any capacity, then I could see Blake and Taylor hanging out. You see them spotted out, whatever they're. They're best friends. But now that Taylor was dragged into it.
Fran
Yeah.
Kelly
Whole different story being spotted out with her. Because you absolutely know that now there's legalities.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. You and you absolutely know that Taylor's team and everybody that protects her so much and protects her image and has worked so hard to do that, probably want there to be like a little bit of a, of a separation at this time. Imagine we say this all now and. And Blake and Ryan are like in Taylor's box the game on Sunday. And we're like, oh, well, okay, all right.
Kelly
We might be wrong. This is all speculation.
Fran
Totally.
Kelly
It's be hanging out.
Fran
So not right. So not out. Out of the realm of possibilities that they would like go to the game with Taylor. So.
Kelly
Right. It's not. I mean they were last year, so it's very possible they'd be there again. Unless they're going into hiding and they don't want to be seen out or they're like it, we're going to be seen now. We're not going to let this stop us. So that's a very high possibility. We could probably have no idea what we're talking about. And TMZ could be so wrong. And all these reports course could Be wrong. But this is what's being reported so completely. Who knows? Who knows? But that wraps up the topics. And that wraps up our last episode before the big game on Sunday where we are sending Fran and the Eagles all of our great vibes their way for the rest of the weekend. And for the game, we do.
Fran
Will you do a little Eagles chant with me to end the podcast?
Kelly
Which one? You tell me, sister.
Fran
Just, you know, just. Just. Just, you know, just spell it out. Just don't pull a mayor and spell it wrong. I was gonna say E. No, I was gonna say the right. The right. The right version. The right version. Not the. Not that version.
Kelly
All right, you lead it off.
Fran
Okay. E, A, G, O. It's gonna be hard because we can't do this on zoom. We're speaking at different times.
Kelly
No. Okay, run it back. We got this again. Come on. I'll start it. I'll start it.
Fran
Okay.
Kelly
Okay.
Fran
E, E, A, G, L, E, S. Eagles. See, the tough thing is, is, you know, your voice picks up, then mine picks up. Just lets you pick up at the same time. That's. Okay.
Kelly

Fran
That's gonna sound silly.
Kelly
It is, it is, but we. The intention was set.
Fran
Exactly the thought.
Kelly
How about this? Fly, Eagles, fly. Yeah, close.
Fran
That's a little different melody, but I liked it.
Kelly
It didn't feel right coming out of my mouth.
Noah
I thought you were about to start singing Fly me to the Moon.
Kelly
That is actually where I thought you were about.
Fran
I thought you were about to go into Fly like an Eagle. Oh.
Kelly
Oh, I like that one too. Fly like an eagle. Yeah, Vibey. Okay, well, best of luck. We'll be rooting for you. I packed some green gear to wear on Sunday.

Fran
They don't even have lenses in them.
Kaz
Thank you, Keanu.
Faith
Yeah. I'm trying to think of anything where he's just playing himself. It's like something meta. Also looking at them, trying to figure out if they know it. And they have really good poker face.
Kelly
I don't. I don't.
Faith
Makes me feel better. At least I don't know any guess with. I mean, Bill and Ted. Doesn't matter. Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.
