It's Chicks in the Office with Ri, Ann, Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Friday. Happy Friday, everybody. We can't wait to get into the topics for today and today's episode from Los Angeles. We're recording in a comfy, cozy hotel room. But before we get into all that.
Fran
Chicks in the Office.
Rhea
Yes, yes. Chicks in the Office is presented by Microsoft Copilot. Before we get into all the topics, all the drama, all the juicy gossip that we have to talk about, we need to talk about the thing that is keeping everyone's lives organized right now. And that is Microsoft 365 copilot.

Fran
Yeah, quick pop. I mean, it was definitely nice to walk around with just a sweatshirt on. I think probably in the grand scheme of things, LA folks would be like, today the weather stinks, but we're coming from old New York. And yes, this is Friday's friends forecast talking about the weather, but it's really all I could think about. This storm in New York is just occupying my mind.
Rhea
I don't blame you. It's what everyone's talking about. Yeah, I was walking around, no sweatshirt out in LA. It's only 50 degrees. Yeah. I feel like it's 80 here. Like I. I'm like, wow. Oh my God.
Fran
I really take to 10.
Rhea
Yeah, I take 50 something degrees for granted at home. Like we mentioned, we are in LA and we got that Friday Energy presented by Planet Fitness. But yeah, we don't know what's going to happen with the storm. You know, it could be at 8 o', clock, 12 o', clock, we're all over 11 o'. Clock, it could be 24 inches, it could be 2 inches. It's really all over the place. But we're going to try to, you know, keep a positive mind.
Fran
I'm excited for a cozy weekend regardless. If that's the case. If we do get snow. If we don't get snow. If we don't get snow. I feel like everybody's preparing for snow anyway. So it's like, well, you'll be doing nothing regardless and just be complaining that it was a dud.
Rhea
But. But everyone stay safe. Yes. And stay warm.
Noah
Speaking of snow, I think I do have to acknowledge that I was duped by the rough rushing snow that I.
Sarah
Mentioned the other day.
Fran
Yep.
Noah
Along with everyone else, I think. I mean, I could have sworn there were news outlets posting those videos. Some of them. I was like, that looks kind of outrageous, but I guess that's true.
Fran
I don't know. Hindsight is 20 20. I never saw, I never saw the, like, the post when everyone was believing it. I only saw the post when everyone was like, it's AI. And when I saw that, I was like, guys.
Rhea
The snow was like guys and 24.
Fran
I thought back at what Noah said on Wednesday. And he was like, you know, people are jumping off skyscrapers into the snow. And I thought we all just kind of really let that slide. Like, we were like, oh, wow, really?
Rhea
After he said that, and I went on my phone, I did start getting videos of the snow in Russia. People were climbing out of their houses through igloos. And I was like, oh, damn. Like, I literally was scrolling. I was like, oh, shit, no one was right. And I honestly didn't look further. I. You know, I'd like to say that the thought had passed in my brain, like, is this fake? But I kind of just, like, was like, damn, that snow in Russia. And then it was like, day after.
Fran
Tomorrow level videos I was seeing.
Rhea
It was very interesting.
Noah
I was like, yeah, wow, this is the craziest snowstorm of all time.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah.
Noah
I mean, I'm like, I don't know what's going on in Russia. Like, it's a different world to me.
Rhea
You're not the only one who's duped.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And those videos do look very believable. But I think if I were to see people jumping from skyscrapers, I would have maybe had a second thought. Mine were just simply crawling out of an egg.
Noah
No, there were people like. Like, who created tunnels to their car. Like, those ones. Then I'm like, that seems dangerous. Like, what if it collapsed?
Rhea
All of it seemed very dangerous. I'm not gonna lie. Felt like we would have heard a lot more about it.
Noah
It's always like, if you're jumping out of a building, wouldn't you, like, go through the snow and just get stuck in the bottom? I don't know.
Rhea
Yeah, physics. We're not the smartest at that.
Fran
The whole thing was just very funny to then look back and be like, noah said that. And we just kind of kept on going.
Noah
Like, you texted the group, our group, about it being like, you got duped. And I think Maddie was like, no, you got duped. And I didn't see, like, everyone acknowledging that. I was like, no, I didn't. Like, I saw it on the news. It was real. Like, I still was doubling down.
Fran
No, Kevin KFC posted a. One of his One Minute man videos about it, and then he had to make another video to be like, I got duped. And then he was like, nothing is worse than the video. Because, like, the video, the original video, had, like, 8 million views. And it was like, ah, shit.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Just got got. You got. You got got.
Rhea
You got got.
Fran
You got coned. Lana got coned. Sorry.
Noah
I don't get the reference.
Fran
That's okay. That's.
Rhea
You know, that you got got entourage.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
No, no, it's. Isn't it?
Fran
Lana got Con.
Noah
Is Princess Dice fucking year bugging. Bugging.
Rhea
No, Andre is. You got got. You got.
Fran
That's like their version of the Punked.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
CTV show. When they get. When they get drama. When drama's on the show.
Noah
Oh, oh, oh, okay. I was thinking of when he's like, super high in the truck and they're all like, I'm.
Rhea
I'm talking about he's actually being punk. Yeah. Wow.
Fran
I'm glad I. I got that one.
Sarah
Yeah.
Noah
I was saying, which. Whatever you said, I didn't know.
Fran
No, that's from Princess Diaries.
Sarah
That's.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, we'll give you a pass on that one.
Fran
I'll totally give you a pass on that one. But, yeah, sorts. We're just here in LA really quick, just for the day, and then back home Friday.
Rhea
Should we tell everybody who we're having on the podcast? Because we keep teasing it and it's like, oh, no, you don't want to.
Noah
I don't think so.
Megan
No.
Rhea
Okay. No, no, no, no.
Noah
I was trying to, like, the wind out of it.
Rhea
Oh, well, I was trying to give everyone a treat and do a little tease.
Noah
But then it's like the initial. Like, I just, like, I love a good teaser.
Fran
Noah's ready. No, is ready. He's making the teaser in his mind. You know, the video.
Rhea
Video reveal. Fair. Yeah.
Fran
Yeah. Which is fair.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Save the big moment for social.
Noah
But it'll be Wednesday and Friday next week. Big, big guess.
Rhea
Yeah, that is. That is true. But we just annoying right now, not telling everybody who the guests are.
Noah
We do wait five days.
Fran
It's okay. It's.
Rhea
It's. It'll come soon enough. Yeah.
Fran
Well, it's really only next week and it's a buildup. Obviously, we're here in LA for this one, but the other one, the guest did come into New York in the New York office, and it was mayhem.
Rhea
It was the most excited I've seen the New York office. Everybody wanted a picture with this guest. We had to send out an email to. To tell everyone to avoid spoiling the gas. Like, I have never seen or heard this level of excitement from people in the office.
Noah
It seems like the Jersey Shore at the old office. I'm like, I don't remember the office crowding around in the controller room. Like, Dylan Efron and Boston Rob were in the office. And I was told that they were in the control room watching your interview.
Rhea
They were. Because we saw Dylan and Bob Boss and Rob after and they were like, we were watching your interview in the control room. And I'm like, that's how you know this guest had such a buzz throughout the office that Dylan Efron and Boston Rob were in the office and nobody was talking to them. They were in the control room with the rest of the people watching the.
Noah
Green room for our guests.
Rhea
They were.
Megan
They were.
Rhea
Which, when this all comes out, will be.
Fran
Our guests had a big entourage.
Rhea
Huge entourage.
Fran
Like the biggest, huge, huge entourage.
Rhea
I'm actually cracking up and I want to stop talking about it because I feel like we could really continue to.
Fran
Make the jokes because you'll see. You will see, you'll see.
Rhea
Yes. And it's all working.
Fran
Just ended at that.
Rhea
Yes, it's going to be so funny. But we want to get into the rest of the topics for today. Pretty big news from our guy Harry. He is going back on tour.
Fran
Massive.
Rhea
Super excited about that. Alex Earl revealed that she is doing a Netflix unscripted series, which we would also like to just to call a reality TV show about her family. To put it into simpler terms, we have the Oscar nominations and all of these Blake Lively texts that are being revealed. Taylor Swift, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, A lot of text messages.
Fran
A lot has been un. Has. A lot has been released unsealed.
Rhea
Yes. They are now public to us.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And we have a great game of trivia. So let's get into the topics.

Rhea
All right, let's get into the topic. Starting off with my guy, Harris Isles, going on tour. This is huge, huge, huge announcements. It's going to be Amsterdam. It's going to be London. It's going to be msg. 430 nights. My. Let me tell you, my guy is coming for Billy Joel. He does not care about the King of Long Island. He's saying, buckle up, Billy, get your piano and get out of town, because Harry is coming and we don't need you at the Garden anymore. All right.
Fran
Yeah. He's coming for the big banner.
Rhea
He is.
Fran
Big number. This is a really exciting announcement because it is. It reminds me a little bit. I mean, it's not because he's doing 30 shows, but kind of when Taylor was, like, going to do Lover Fest, and it was just like, a few big cities for multiple, like, weekends or it was really, like, one weekend. So he is doing a bunch more shows, but he's not traveling as much. It's like, central locations. He picked certain cities and he's doing multiple, multiple nights in each one. So, like you said, Amsterdam, London, Brazil, Sao Paulo. He's doing Mexico City, New York City, Melbourne.
Rhea
Melbourne and.
Fran
And Sydney. So all over the world he goes. And. Yeah, I'm really just trying to wrap my mind around 30 nights at MSG.
Noah
Last time, like, 20. It was definitely over.
Fran
It was. It was.
Rhea
I want to say 26, 16.
Fran
It was up there for sure, sir. Give me a quick search on that. Well, how many nights he did last Harry's house?
Rhea
He doesn't care about the piano man. He's Harry Styles.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. He's the disco man. Here he comes.
Rhea
As they say, Billy Joel is moving out. Get it? I get it.
Fran
I get it.
Noah
Wait, what was that? 2024, like, would that have been Harry's. Harry's house?
Sarah
Yeah, yeah.
Noah
It's not doing a tip shop right now.
Fran
Oh, here. Google search.
Rhea
Was it 2024 or was it 2023?
Fran
2020.
Rhea
I feel like it was 2023.
Noah
No, 2022 is. The album came out, so.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Noah
Oh. 15 consecutive nights.
Fran
15 consecutive nights.
Rhea
I was.
Noah
15 consecutive nights.
Fran
Yeah, I mean, he's done. Obviously, he's had way more shows at msg.
Noah
Yeah, yeah. I read consecutive as if it was like, every single day.
Fran
Like, no, no, no, but that. That makes sense. I mean, this is. This is huge. And for someone that lives a hop Skip and a jump from Madison Square Garden. It's dangerous. Real dangerous.
Rhea
It is really dangerous. But I'll be traveling across the pond.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
London to see my guy.
Fran
London, really pop.
Rhea
Shania Twain.
Fran
Shania Twain is like, are you kidding me, Harry? And Shania Twain is such a sell for a trip to London.
Rhea
I have to get there. I have to get there. And obviously I sent it to Fran right away and I was like, I knew there would be a time that I could get you there, and this feels like the time.
Fran
This does. I would absolutely die to go see this together. I've seen Shania Twain. It's such a fun show, and this is just such a great combo. Maybe they'll perform a couple songs together.
Rhea
That's what I'm saying.
Fran
Which would be amazing. I also think Amsterdam is such a good one because Robin is also fantastic.
Rhea
Amsterdam seems really cool as well.
Noah
Also, MSG is going to be. People are saying Harry Wean again.
Rhea
Yeah, it is at msg because you're.
Fran
Getting through August to October.
Rhea
October, I think Halloween is the last show.
Fran
Yeah. I just celebrated my birthday with like six nights in a row at Harry Styles.
Rhea
Hey, sounds like a good birthday.
Fran
He doesn't do. He's not doing it. There's not one on my actual birthday, though, which is unfortunate. Unfortunate. But leading up and right after.
Rhea
Yeah, that works.
Noah
You could run into him. He'll be in New York for three months.
Rhea
Oh, yeah, I pray. Yeah, I saw somebody thought he was at a Trader Joe's in New York City recently.
Fran
He could have been.
Rhea
He could have been kind of surprised.
Noah
He's not doing Los Angeles or anywhere.
Rhea
Else in the U.S. so, you know, the people.
Fran
Must be a deal with msg.
Rhea
The people of LA are kind of fed up right now because he didn't do a listening party for his single in la and. And he did not do LA for his tour.
Noah
Maybe the one night only.
Rhea
Well, then that they're like, is he doing the one night only in LA at the Forum? But the Forum is. Is booked on the day that his album comes out. So, you know, the. The people of LA are. Are not happy with Harry. And I want to say, like, I get where they're coming from and I totally understand. And I would also be upset. But as somebody who. Who's in New York, you know what mean, like, it's great for us.
Fran
No, truly, it is more of a dream for us.
Noah
Think about all the people who are going to book trips to New York from other states.
Fran
Yeah. Which is why I think he probably it's some. My guess is while this was all being negotiated, there was some sort of exclusivity type situation where it's like, if you want to do 30 nights, like, let's make it. You can only do it here.
Rhea
Let's make it worthwhile.
Fran
You're going to do 30 nights. You can't be. Why would anybody trap like, you, you. That's got to be a. 30 nights.
Noah
I wonder, will he go on tour, like, for real and like. Like just one. One off, like cities, like, for this album, or is this it?
Fran
No, this is it.
Rhea
I think this is it. I think this is a big announcement.
Fran
Yeah. For what he's doing, by the way, it's like.
Rhea
I mean, it's still gonna be tired. He's doing 30 nights. Yeah.
Fran
I mean, 30 nights alone in MSG. The other ones are.
Noah
The other ones are only like a couple each, I thought. Right.
Fran
Yeah, but it's not. Not a couple. I mean, there's at least six in London.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
Yeah, London. And we should make that a chicks the Office, like, work trip. What do you think about that?
Fran
We've already discussed that.
Rhea
We did.
Fran
Certainly been discussed already. Could this BE expense. Six nights in Amsterdam, six nights in London, two nights in Brazil. Come to Brazil, two nights in Mexico City, 30 nights at MSG, two nights in Melbourne and two nights in Sydney. So, yeah.
Rhea
So we got spoiled.
Fran
So, yeah, 30 is a drastically larger number than Asia.
Rhea
Yeah. I mean, listen, everywhere, all over is public. That's the thing. It's like, yeah, you can't get it here.
Fran
You can't go, like, if he's gonna do it in this way.
Rhea
Right. Like, unfortun. Really happy. So, like, I know that you want to keep bringing up that he's not going to these other spots. And I feel bad. I acknowledge them and I feel bad for them. But, like, we're really happy about this.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. But I could see.
Rhea
Go to Australia how it's unfair, you know?
Noah
Do you think he just loves New York that much, where it's like, he could easily do 30.
Fran
Like, Ria just said, he's coming for. He's coming for Billy Joel.
Rhea
Clearly he has a dartboard of Billy Joel in his London home, his Rome home, his New York City home. Home. And he just focuses on every day.
Fran
King of msg.
Rhea
And he says, your piano. I'm in there.
Noah
Like, you know, Billy Joel, though, isn't like, he's not even. He's been like, billy Joel is the.
Rhea
King of Madison Square just fine.
Fran
Billy Joel is certainly Billy Joel will be just fine.
Noah
No, I'm talking about, like, he had, like, a brain thing, remember?
Rhea
Oh.
Noah
Like, he's. He hasn't played at MSG in a while because he's, like. He was.
Fran
No, well. Well, he's. He stopped playing because there was a health thing. But I think it was.
Noah
I think he's okay now.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But I also think it's just. He's.
Noah
He's done old.
Rhea
Er.
Fran
I'm not trying to be like, yeah, how old is Billy Joel?
Rhea
He's 76.
Fran
No, 70s. 75.
Noah
Gotta be, like, early 70s. And he has, like, a young kid.
Fran
76.
Noah
76. Oh, and he's turning 77 soon.
Fran
Yeah, that's.
Rhea
That's tough.
Noah
Yeah.
Rhea
I mean, he's got a long way.
Noah
Harry's got a long way to go, though.
Fran
He does a lot of shows, but.
Rhea
He has a lot of shows.
Fran
If anything, it just proves that clearly he loves. Like, he just loves playing in at msg. Right. And Serena, he's done it already. Must have been a great experience for him. I also think it's great to get to do a tour of this. Magnitude. Magnitude. But then get to, like, stay in the same place for a few months.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
That's probably because he loves New York.
Noah
Are they all arenas, like, in London? He's doing.
Rhea
He's doing Wembley Stadium.
Noah
Six nights of Wembley.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Okay, so that makes up for it. I thought it was six nights of, like, the O2 or, like.
Fran
No, no. And Sydney's a stadium. Melbourne's a stadium.
Rhea
I am getting to that.
Fran
Damn.
Rhea
Wembley Stadium.
Fran
Mexico City, I think, as well.
Noah
Damn.
Fran
Same with Brazil.
Noah
It is cool, though, because, like, the arena shows are just better.
Fran
I think Amsterdam is an arena.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
But, yeah, it's. It's. It's a lot. Did you guys see that Page Six article that said Zoe Kravitz thinks Harry Styles is her soulmate?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Get in line.
Rhea
Right. Welcome to the club, sweetheart. Like, come on.
Fran
Which. And you know what? I bet. I bet he is.
Rhea
And I bet. And honestly, I totally believe her. And for some reason, when I see them, I do. I go, this just makes sense.
Fran
It really does make sense.
Rhea
And Channing Tatum split up. I was like, no way, no way. This isn't happening. But then when she got with Harry, I was like, oh, no. Duh.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
No, forget Channing. Yeah.
Fran
It's just your soulmate.
Rhea
Cool. Your soulmate is Harry Styles. They are two cool cats together that just get each other's coolness that other people probably can't replicate. And like, they probably went on their first date and thought, this person matches my level of cool.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
That nobody else has ever matched.
Fran
Yeah, I. I'm. I'm with you on that. There's even just them walking on the street. It's like, I've never seen two cooler people in my life. And the odds. Noah's right. The odds of running into them in the months of August to October, high.
Noah
You know, he's gonna be running. He's gonna be running.
Fran
He's gonna be doing a lot, but it's like they could be just side highway, hand in hand, around.
Rhea
Let me tell you, I am going to be out and about on those streets during those months.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
You will catch me up and down.
Noah
In reality. In reality, you're walking and you see him across street. What do you.
Rhea
What are you doing across the street? Across the street? Nothing. You're walking by him, and I'm walking by him. Be like, oh, my God, I love you guys. You know, quick like that. And pass. I will say there was a girl who just posted a video where she ran into them on the street somewhere, and they both. She was like, I love you guys. And they both turn around, stop to shake her hand. And I was like, only I could dream of something like that happening to me.
Noah
No. You want what he did with that one girl where he took their picture.
Fran
Because of gravel that went raspy.
Rhea
Only something just. Okay.
Fran
Because only that could happen to me. It's.
Rhea
It's something. I feel you. That I'm seeing a lot lately where I'm like, people are running into my faves everywhere and not me. Okay.
Fran
Treat people with kindness.
Rhea
Yeah. And that's what he did. He went on. He said, let me shake your hand. And that is. And that is what I like to call respect. And on top of that, people keep running into Fetty Wap at the Jersey City Target. Not me.
Fran
He.
Rhea
This man's always at the Jersey City Target. And then on top of that, apparently, years ago, I had multiple people respond to my Instagram story when I posted about wanting to run into Fetty Wap in New Jersey. I ran into him in Target in 2017. I ran into him in Target in 2016. My hairdresser said, I ran into him. This man's always at Target.
Fran
Well, I just started dying laughing because you texted that after. And, you know, we. We all heard on the podcast about the. The ASAP Rocky miss. And you were like, everybody's meeting my heroes. And I just, like, really giggled to myself because I was like, she's getting this worked up over people running into Fetty Wap. Like, I just. Like, whoa. I. I can't.
Rhea
And then you're gonna tell me those songs didn't hit hard for you.
Fran
Of course.
Rhea
But like, baby girl, you're so damn fine, though.
Fran
I'm not. You know, I'm not seeing people running into him in Target being like, no, why not me if it was that.
Rhea
Close to you, you know?
Fran
Yeah, I guess it was.
Rhea
It's that close. Like the Jersey. Here's the thing.
Fran
Did you see him at Jennifer Aiden's house?
Rhea
Yes. And then I said, well, he should come over for a stream. Yeah.
Noah
Could be in the lobby of my building and I wouldn't come down from my apartment to see him.
Rhea
Okay. Ricochet shot at Fetty Wap. Okay.
Fran
Too cool for school?
Rhea
No, Cool for Fetty Wap. Here, let me just say this.
Fran
Fetty Wap didn't have that kind of impact on Noah.
Rhea
If people are running into Fetty Wap in Manhattan. Okay. Like, that makes. When people run into people in Manhattan, it makes sense. People are not running into celebrities at the Jersey City Target. So that why to me, is what is. Like, why wasn't I at Target that day? You know, because it's just so random. It's not like, oh, I ran him on the street. Manhattan. It's like, yeah, no shit.
Fran
You know, I think your time is coming to run into someone on the street.
Rhea
And I'm hoping it's Harry and Zoe. In the. In the warm months of August to October. And we. We brush shoulders quickly. And I say, oh, my God, I'm such a big fan of you both.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And they both turn around, they shake my hand, they say, rhea from Chicks in the Office. We love that show, you know?
Fran
Yep.
Rhea
Dream scenario.
Fran
I was going to say, you should fall asleep at night thinking about that. So just. Just manifest that.
Sarah
Yeah.
Fran
Like this. Yeah.
Rhea
Hey, Harry.
Fran
Hey, Zoe.
Rhea
Oh, my God, we love you.
Fran
We love your show.
Rhea
Or something. Just like, we've seen your clips before, right?
Fran
Anything. Oh, why do you look literally anything?
Rhea
Anything.
Fran
Anything.
Rhea
Now, guys, I know that there's like a zero percent chance of that happening. Like, I do not think that they know us.
Noah
I love your one night only vlog.
Rhea
Yeah, right. He's like, oh, my God, the Forum. I saw you in the crowd at the Forum.
Noah
Saw you getting trampled by all those tweener creatures.
Rhea
Oh, shit. It's fun to let your imagination run wild like it does.
Sarah
It does.
Rhea
It is. I can't believe Noah said that. If Fetty Wap was in the lobby of apartment building. He wouldn't even go downstairs.
Fran
Damn, that's not even getting me on the elevator.
Rhea
You have something against Fetty?
Noah
No. I mean, when I was at Syracuse, he was supposed to be like, the big headliner of this festival. And, like, the day of the show, he just didn't. He like, said his flight, he just didn't come. Not that I really cared that much, but.
Fran
So you have a grudge, but he.
Rhea
Has to keep mentioning that. He doesn't.
Fran
He didn't care, but he doesn't care about that.
Noah
Name me one song other than, like, the 1738.
Fran
Oh, he doesn't care.
Rhea
Trap Queen 679 again, my way. Fetty Wap Drake remix one of the best rap songs.
Fran
He just doesn't know him like that.
Noah
Apparently I don't.
Rhea
And that's all right. And that's all right.
Noah
We all have different heroes.
Rhea
Yeah. Listen, not saying he's my hero.
Fran
That text just really set me at such a giggle.
Rhea
Like, it just went from the ASAP Rocky thing to that, and I was just like, in a. In a tizzy, you know? You know?
Fran
Yeah. Fair.
Rhea
I talked to Kit Keenan directly.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah.
Rhea
About the ASAP listening party, which only made me more jealous.
Fran
But good clarity.
Rhea
Yes, Good clarity. And I'm happy for her.
Fran
Yep, yep, yep. Your. Your time will come, Rhea. Your time will come.
Rhea
That's okay. Like, you know I like to dream. Yeah.
Fran
Dream big.
Rhea
Marty Supreme Christmas Day.
Fran
Marty Supreme Christmas Day. Should we do some Oscars?
Rhea
Yeah, we should go into the Oscar nominations since. Since Mari.
Fran
Supreme Christmas Day.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Which we can do. Very interesting, I will say, because right off the bat, when I saw the headlines, I thought, amazing. Because everything's like sinners. Most nominations, which.
Rhea
16 noms.
Fran
Fantastic. Because I feel like there's been discussions of them being sort of forgotten at these other award shows. And it's like, where's the love for sinners? Well, here it is from the Oscars.
Rhea
And they.
Fran
They gave it to him big time. And it couldn't be more well deserved. It's tough because, you know, then you move that in and then some people get snubbed. But. But you just can't argue with sinners needing to be in the mix with these. With these nominations. You know what I did? Eyebrow raise.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And I thought, good for them. F1. I thought, I don't care.
Noah
I don't. I don't care.
Fran
As a honey, you took the words.
Rhea
Right out of my mouth.
Fran
F1 Oscar nominated best Picture.
Rhea
You took the words, right?
Fran
I haven't seen it, so I guess I really can't say.
Rhea
Oh, my God. I saw it.
Fran
I did have friends that really enjoyed it. They said, fun time.
Noah
I enjoy many movies, but.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, right, right.
Rhea
We're aligned. As soon as you brought up Oscar noms, I was like, I cannot wait to talk about the F1 Best Picture nomination. Like you said, very happy for Sinners. Very well deserved. 16 noms. It's huge. I'm really hoping they come out with some wins on that. You know, 16 nominations. Let's get some wins in there. But on the other side of that, F1 being, just think about, I don't.
Fran
Know, I don't know what money they put behind that.
Rhea
One battle after another. Yeah. Sinners.
Fran
Listen to the this. So the best picture category is Begonia, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme. One battle after Another. The Secret Agent Sentimental Value, Sinners train dreams. And F1.
Rhea
If I'm Brad, I'm not even showing up.
Fran
Well, they'll have. They'll have a whole area. They got to show up, I guess.
Rhea
But like, I would just be kind of.
Fran
He's going to show up, but they're probably pumped.
Noah
He hasn't been at any of the other ones.
Fran
Yeah, because it hasn't been nominated.
Rhea
Why would. He was nominated at the Golden Globes? Oh, it was for a couple awards.
Fran
But, like, maybe not for sound.
Rhea
Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, I'm just. I don't remember it being Brad. I'm just like.
Noah
They'Re not winning anything.
Fran
I'm excited for Dempson to at least because, you know, he. The man has great style, so he'll look fantastic at the Oscars. But. Yeah, I don't know what. I don't know what. Clearly they. There was some big backing here for this. For this Oscars campaign because it was suspicious. You know what? What really? People were surprised. And I feel like this could have been the switch. The exchange here is like, does F1. I didn't even think F1 was in the conversation, but why would you like wicked. Wicked for goods? Not in anything. So it's like, oh, wicked. F1 gets nominated. Wicked for good isn't in. In here. If anything, I would see those. Those switch because they've been wicked for.
Noah
Good was like, ever.
Fran
Do you think wicked for good was at least in the conversation for all these other awards? Cynthia, Ariana. None of them got nominated. They've been nominated in all the other awards shows.
Rhea
Do you think that Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie are giving a little bit of Cynthia and Ariana lately with. With their. With their codependency. Codependency.
Fran
Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if they hold their hand, like, hold hands like that when they start doing press.
Rhea
When I've been hearing these. These interviews between the two of them, like, it's very. Ariana and Cynthia. You guys went through something together on this film.
Noah
Tweets are so funny. People are like, God bless whoever, like, is married to an actor. Because, like, Margot Robbie being like, I can't operate unless Jacob Elordi is next to me. Like, you have a husband.
Fran
You know what? I can't blame her.
Rhea
Margot Robbie, though.
Fran
She blame her.
Rhea
But it's Margot. You're Margot Robbie.
Noah
I think he should be saying that about you.
Rhea
I feel probably is. I think he had. Okay. Jacob already has been saying that about Margie. Margie. Margot Robbie being like, I was obsessed with her. Even just the way she ate. Like, Jacob Lord, he was like, I could watch her do anything. Even the way she ate her pudding. Like, he. This is what he's been saying.
Fran
But I feel some Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga.
Rhea
And I feel like Margot Robbie and her have, like, such a strong relationship, though, because remember when she was like, yeah, I just wanted to, like, kiss.
Fran
Brad Pitt so she just, like, wrote.
Rhea
It into a movie. Like.
Noah
Like, God bless Margot Robbie's husband.
Rhea
Yeah. Margot Robbie is just always openly being like, this is my hot co star that I want to kiss on screen. And then I'm going to go home to my husband.
Fran
And you know what? He's probably just like, I get it.
Noah
But a lot of the time he's, like, looking like Frankenstein when she's with him, you know, like, it's not like. Like when they're.
Rhea
Margo's husband, Jacob Elordi.
Noah
Jacob Elordi.
Rhea
Oh, Jacob.
Noah
Right.
Fran
Looking like Frankenstein.
Rhea
It's not Frankenstein. It's Wuthering Heights.
Fran
He's Wuthering Heights together.
Rhea
Oh, Margot Robbie's not in Frankenstein.
Noah
I never watched it.
Rhea
I never watched it. Wuthering Heights is not out yet.
Noah
It comes out February because I know he's nominated.
Fran
So in my mind, they're like, we changed it to Wuthering Heights, which is not out yet, but they. You know, they're.
Rhea
I struggle with saying that word.
Fran
Yeah, that's fair.
Rhea
You know, but. Oh, my God. Noah thought that Mar.
Noah
That makes a lot.
Fran
He's.
Rhea
But he's dressed as Frankenstein, by the way.
Fran
Wait, the thought of. The thought of Noah thinking that, like, between breaks in. In Set. Margo's like, where's my monster?
Rhea
Come on over.
Fran
She's like, I need him. Where's that scary looking guy?
Rhea
Come on over.
Fran
Oh, no, he was not looking like.
Rhea
That in Whether or not. No, no, they were both looking lovely.
Noah
No, I did see, like, a picture of. From that movie of, like, I think his hands, like, in her mouth.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Rhea
I mean.
Fran
I mean, I think they're doing. I think they're gonna be doing some sex. This is Emerald for this. They're gonna be doing some weird.
Rhea
Yeah, he had some fingers in her mouth. It looked good. I mean, I don't know.
Fran
This is Emerald Fennell doing this direct. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I wouldn't be surprised if there's some weird in this movie.
Rhea
Listen, you know, then they felt really comfortable with each other.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Basically enamored. Like Cynthia and Ariana.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
They're. They are dependent on each other. But back to the Oscar.
Fran
Go back to the Oscar nominations. But yeah, I mean, right off, like F1, I was like, Whoa. Okay.
Rhea
Imagine F1 comes out with Best Picture. Yeah.
Fran
They're like. They're just like, we gotta do a.
Noah
La La Land moment.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah. Need Leonardo DiCaprio to run Bradford.
Fran
It'd be really weird. F1 wins and. And every commercial break, there's just like an ad for Formula One. And you're like, huh, Weird. Huh, Weird. Best actor in a leading role. We got all the. All the big guns. Chalamet DiCaprio, Ethan Hawk for Blue Moon. Michael B. Jordan, Sinners. Wagner Mora for the Secret Agent. Now, this is what we're saying where, you know, Noah's been hyping up this Ethan Hawk performance where maybe he slides in there for a win, but it's gotta. It's gotta go to one of these guys. No, if it's not one of who? If it's not, it has to go.
Rhea
To one of them.
Fran
It just does have to go to one of them. It was not shallow.
Rhea
It could be a.
Fran
Here's the strike, here's the order. I'm rooting for Chalamet, Muckleby, Jordan. Interchangeable in my mind. One in one.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
That's one and one. Give it. I'll be happy for either of those two. Then I would go, Leo.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Then, you know, I haven't seen the other two. So Wagner, Ethan Hawke, whatever.
Rhea
I basically want everybody to have a chance at winning. Besides Ethan Hawke.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
You didn't even see the movie.
Rhea
I know that sounds rude, but you play favorites and.
Noah
Yeah, no, I think I'm Rooting for Michael B. Jordan. Yeah, but that would be. So there's really none of them that I'd be like mad about.
Fran
No, no, no. They're.
Noah
Who won with the long speech last year. What's his name? Adrian, bro. Like, there's no Adrian Brody.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right about that. There's. And there's just some. There's some big names.
Rhea
I take back what I said about Ethan Hawke that was just like.
Noah
Yeah, Ethan Hawke seems like such a cool guy.
Fran
Does he?
Noah
Yeah, like on all his interviews he seems like super.
Rhea
He seems pretty chill, like normal and cool.
Fran
I'd agree with that.
Rhea
I think. Yeah.
Fran
Okay. Then we have actor in a supporting role. Benicio Del Toro, Jacob Elordi, Delroy Lindo for Sinners, which is like I said, Sinners pops up in a lot of categories that they haven't been in another. Other award shows this season. So very happy about that. Sean Penn and Selling Skarsgard. So those. The rest of them have all been nominated all season long.
Noah
But Stellan seems to be the favorite.
Fran
Stellan does seem to be the favorite. I will say Rhea put this movie on on the plane. And then Value. Yeah. And then she texted that she didn't realize it was mostly in Norwegian.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
So she turned it off. No, that's one.
Rhea
It's not.
Fran
It's not a play movie. That's like.
Rhea
Because, yeah, I'm all for paying attention to a movie like that.
Fran
Gotta be in the right setting.
Rhea
It has to be in the comfort of my own home where I could put my phone down and just really lock in when you're on the plane. The plane is a double screen type of thing. It's a book. It's. It's a. It's headphones. Oh, I was. You got a lot going on. And I wanted to read while I had the TV on in the background. And I was like, I can't have sentimental value on in the background while I'm reading. That doesn't make sense. So it was immediately shut off.
Fran
No, I agree. Big snob in this one. Snubs. You know, whatever they call them. Snubs. But he's not in this category. Is Paul Mascul has been Paul nominated for Hamnet. And I saw some discussion about this where it's like when you're. When there's sort of some confusion of what category you should be in, it is a little tricky. Like he's been supporting but like, is he. Shouldn't it really be leading actor? Because it's not like there's another male actor in the. In the film that's above him or below himself, you know, So I feel like there was maybe some confusion on where he was gonna land in this. So he doesn't get a supporting actor nomination. And then for actress in leading role, it's Jesse Buckley, Rose Byrne, Kate Hudson, Renate. I don't probably fucking mess up her name. Renate. Ren. Rensvi for Sentimental Value, Emma Stone, Begonia. And then supporting role, Elle Fanning, Sentimental Value. Inga Elias for Sentimental Value, Amy Madigan, Weapons. Wumi Musaku for Sinners. And Tiana Taylor, One battle after another. So def. Some other ones in that category too, that we haven't. That we haven't seen. And I'm very happy once again for Sinners. She's so good.
Rhea
So good. Stacked category for both of them. I do want to say it hasn't sat right with me that Dakota Fanning has not been nominated for an Oscar, but now Elle Fanning has.
Fran
Why?
Rhea
Just because Dakota Fanning has just been in the game for like.
Noah
But I think Elle has, like, established herself as the one.
Fran
Dakota. Well, Dakota just took a break for a while. Fanning wasn't doing as much work.
Rhea
The one. You know what I mean? And then her sister came in and now her sister has taken over. I'm happy for Elle.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
But then I immediately searched. I said has to code. Have been nominated for an Oscar and she hasn't. I just want.
Fran
Yeah, but like, what is Dakota done that's been Oscar worthy?
Rhea
I'm gonna take a pause and look this up while you continue to talk about the nominations. Yeah, I'm gonna look into her films real quick.
Fran
No, because I. I'm with you. And that she's an. I love her, but I just don't think.
Rhea
I thought maybe as a kid.
Fran
As a kid, sure. Okay. That's fair. Maybe for something when she was younger.
Noah
Webb, was that her?
Fran
Yeah. Or maybe like, what's the one she did with Tom Cruise?
Rhea
She did. I am Sam. That was with.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Tom Hanks.
Megan
Right.
Noah
Not Sean Penn.
Fran
Sean Penn. I was thinking of what were the worlds.
Noah
Where are the worlds? Yeah, but that's not. I feel like it's not like a Oscar.
Fran
No, it's not. But like, I could see them just as a young actress. But no, I don't think she ever, ever really did. And then she stopped really working in those. That is like in between years. And that's when Elle started doing a lot more.
Rhea
That is true. I was thinking, I guess more of Hers. The Secret Life of Bees.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
The Secret Life of Bees was so good.
Fran
Really good.
Rhea
I.
Fran
You know what I'm excited for, and I think about it every time now is that these two are going to start production on the Nightingale soon, and I can't fucking wait for that. Put that on your list of books.
Rhea
So true. I.
Fran
The Nightingale is probably three book for me, if not like one.
Rhea
Oh, wow. Secret Life of Bees didn't have any Oscar nominations.
Fran
No. But, you know, I.
Noah
The.
Fran
Here's the thing. Those movies were very impactful for us when we were watching them. I don't know if it was as impactful in the. In the critics world maybe.
Rhea
I'm just really stuck on Dakota Fanning.
Fran
She was an absolute star when.
Rhea
When we were younger. It was just like she felt. It felt like she was everywhere.
Fran
Yeah, exactly. And she was.
Rhea
But you know what?
Fran
Props, Elle. I'm very. That's. This is amazing for El. Elle has done some really good stuff recently.
Rhea
One for the Cat in the Hat. Yes. Yeah.
Fran
Yeah, that's the one. I fucking hated that movie.
Rhea
Really? Oh, my God.
Fran
I love the Mike Myers one.
Rhea
Oh.
Fran
Scared the shit out of me. I really like. It was like. That was Johnny Depp, Willy Wonka.
Rhea
Willy Wonka territory for me. I did not like it. Yeah. Oh, I loved it. That's so funny.
Fran
Did not like it.
Rhea
I liked all the colors and stuff. No.
Noah
Who do you think's gonna win for best actress or who do you want to win? I don't know.
Fran
It's tough. I'm sure Jessie Buckley is the favorite, but, you know, Emma Stone is always an Oscar favorite. And I think Rose Byrne is super pick too, because, you know, she's. People love this movie then.
Rhea
She's fantastic. And Jesse Buckley and Rose Byrne both won Golden Globes for their role.
Noah
Emma Stone, like, they're not gonna give it to her again with the same director, like.
Rhea
Right, right.
Noah
She's, like, won so many Oscars now.
Fran
That I'm excited for Kate Hudson too. I just think this is really cool. I'm excited for her to be back in the mix and being at the Oscars as a nominee actor. She's so fucking good in this movie.
Rhea
I so agree. What's with the rude comments about this movie?
Noah
I think people are mad that a lot of people think Chase Infinity was snubbed.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
In this. And she would have been there if it wasn't for Kate. You know, what wasn't really like.
Rhea
And I feel like that came out.
Noah
Of the very end.
Fran
But, you know, it's it's tough though because the same kind of thing, like Emma Stone gets this nomination for Begonia. But I mean, I know you guys have both seen him and talking about it. Jesse Plemons. Nothing.
Noah
Clemons. Yeah.
Rhea
Jesse Plemons. I would like to call that a snub.
Fran
Yeah. But he's being called a snub.
Noah
Would he have been best actor or best supporting Actor? I think best Actor. He was like in it more than anyone. He was in it just as much as anyone in that movie. Like his character was like.
Fran
You really know even what qualified, like what makes it right.
Noah
I think.
Rhea
I guess cuz he's the mean. I think they're the main guy.
Fran
Right, right.
Noah
But you don't have to like just because you're the. The highest.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That doesn't put you in the category.
Noah
But I think he was like the leading actor in that movie.
Rhea
Right. Yeah. Wow. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think that's a major snub.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Who would you take out?
Rhea
I guess that that's the tough part.
Fran
But that's another one where it's hard too because I haven't seen Chase Infinity falls into that to me too. Where it's like, was that she's so good and she does, I think really like make that movie.
Noah
It's tough, but it's multiple from the same.
Fran
Yeah. Like is she also leading? Leading supporting.
Noah
Chase Infinity would be.
Fran
She's been nominated in leading.
Rhea
I would say. Yeah.
Fran
But Amy, that is. That is really tough. Really tough. And I do think she should have been nominated. But there's only five spots and it's tough when everybody's performances were really being praised. So I feel like that, you know, she probably should have been in there. But yeah, sentimental value really cleaned up.
Noah
That was like a heavy like performance movie where. Yeah like it really relied on like the actors.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
All them were great animated feature film. Arco Elio, K Pop Demon Hunters, Little Amelie or the character of rain and Zootopia 2. I mean I'm sure this just goes back to K Pop Demon Hunters. But I did like Zootopia too. I've been telling. I can't. Can't talk about it enough. I can't wait till I can stream it and watch it again. It's so good. And then there's obviously all the, you know, animated short we have. Cinematography was Frankenstein, Marty Supreme. One battle after another. Sinners Train Dreams costume. Avatar got in for costume. I saw my. A lot of people say Miley Cyrus was a snub, too, that her song isn't in. Isn't in song. And none of the wicked music is in song either.
Rhea
They added a new category.
Fran
They did.
Rhea
Best casting.
Fran
Best casting was a new category added.
Rhea
So does that just mean, like the best casting overall? Like the best cast overall of actors?
Fran
I don't know if it's like. It's not like. It's not like an ensemble performance. I think it's like best. I think it goes to the casting director.
Rhea
Right. Like, best job.
Fran
You did the best job of bringing these people together to make a good movie.
Noah
But you would think that, like, who. Whoever wins the acting awards, then kind of be the same movie.
Fran
And like, you would think, yeah, it's Hamnet. Marty Supreme. One battle after another. The Secret Agent Sinners.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
So it's the same, like, you know, it's all. It's all the same. It's all the same.
Rhea
I feel like Marty supreme is pushing for that award because they just released Odessa A Zion's casting her audition tape in the phone booth and they're like, really pushing the audition process for that whole thing.
Noah
Yeah, they're the most like, unique casting.
Rhea
Yeah, for sure.
Fran
Sure.
Rhea
I mean.
Fran
Yeah, Luke. I mean, stories we've heard from. Yeah.
Noah
So many non actors just getting cast.
Rhea
For being a Knicks giant. Knicks fan.
Fran
Like, so, like, when you think of it that way, it's like you're kind of plucking people off the street and putting them in a movie and it works, which is very impressive.
Noah
But I think Sinner should win, like all the sound.
Rhea
Oh, yeah.
Fran
Anything musical. Yeah.
Rhea
I mean, I listen, I'm all for them for best original song, but people love golden by K Pop Demon Hunter so much. And I'm just not on that wavelength. Like, I think the Sinner's music is just so much better, but it. That's like mainstream popularity now.
Fran
Totally. Ryan Coogler did get a director nomination as well. Is what? As Chloe Zhao, Josh Shafty, Paul Thomas Anderson, Joaquin Trier for Sentimental Value. Those are all for director. F1 did get another nomination for film editing.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
In the category with Marty Supreme. One battle after another. Sentimental Value. Sinners.
Rhea
Yeah. That's insane.
Fran
Yeah. Yep. The Smashing Machine got a nomination for makeup and hair styling.
Rhea
That's that the rock.
Fran
That's the movie.
Noah
I feel like when he did that movie, he's like, here's my Oscar.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
And like nothing.
Rhea
And it just didn't pan out that way.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. Yep, yep. So, yeah. And that's like I said, for song and then, you know, writing adapted screenplay. Begonia, Frankenstein, Hamnet. One Boundary. One battle after another. Train Dreams. And then original screenplay, Blue Moon. It was just an accident, Marty. Supreme sentimental value. Sinners. I mean, like I said, we know that Sinners cleaned up and extremely well deserved for nomination.
Rhea
So we're going to hope that they get some wins.
Noah
I could see them, like, winning Best Picture, I think, like, I don't know if I think they will, but I can easily, like, see that happening.
Fran
That would be sad for Ariana and Cynthia that they didn't have kind of one. They got Final Moment. No, I know, but I think, like, I don't know, it's got to be a little tricky. And maybe it goes back to the whole idea of was it a good idea splitting these movies in half kind of thing. Because I feel like when they didn't win last year, it was like, oh, well, part two could be where they're recognized for it, when in reality, part two ended up being not as strong. So it was like, if it was one product, would that have made a difference in award seasons? And I think it probably would have.
Rhea
Yeah, that's a good point.
Fran
But, you know, we. We loved Wicked and Wicked for good. I loved Wicked for good. It's just. It sucks that they're obviously not involved in this, but it just depends on the year. Like, there's some stacked, stacked movies this year, so it's hard when that happens.
Rhea
This was really a great year for movies. I feel like there are a couple movies that genuinely, some of my favorite ever like, that have been done in a really long time. Not, you know, in fear of sounding like the announcers at the Golden Globes. Do you think Josh Allen will go to the Oscars with Haley?
Noah
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
That would be fun to see.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
I feel like we haven't seen them at, like, a major award.
Fran
No, totally. I feel like enough time, like, his season's over. Feel like the Oscars are the Oscars. His wife is pregnant. Yeah. Time to time to support us, and.
Rhea
It would have been wrapped up anyway.
Fran
I also feel like with the way that Sinners is nominated, it's like, right, gotta support.
Rhea
Yeah, I would think that'd be cute. Yeah.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Well, we're excited. The Oscars are March 15, Sunday night, and they can't come soon enough. I'm very excited for this. Moving on. Alex Earle announced that her family and her are getting an unscripted TV series on Netflix. So a reality TV show. This is interesting. I think that people have been thinking they would go down this path for a long time because they're all pretty active on Tik Tok. You know, I just hope for the best for those young kids.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
You know what I mean? Like, we. We've seen this done before with the Kardashians, with Kylie and Kendall being so young and how they have grown up to be. Like, we didn't.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
We didn't ask for this. Right. But we were thrown into it. So I'm. Although I think it's gonna be fun and exciting. I'm just hoping for the best for the. For the family, because this. You know, when you get your whole family involved in a reality TV show, who knows what's to happen?
Fran
Definitely. And if I had to guess, I think they'd all be pretty on board with this.
Rhea
Yeah, no, it seems like they're on board, but I'm saying, like, you know, you're on board.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And then you grow up and you're like, why did I do that reality show?
Fran
Yeah. Alex said, I share a lot of my life on social media, and people think they know everything there is to know about me and my family, but honestly, there's still so much more. We are so happy that the show found a home with Netflix. At its core, the show is about our fun, loving, sometimes chaotic modern family and how we always show up for each other through it all, which I love. And I think it's so true. I think it is such an interesting cast of characters, one might say, in the dynamic family dynamics. And I do think there are a lot of, like, Kardashians. Kardashians, like, parallels when it comes to, you know, parents dynamics and. And half sibling, you know, like, whatever.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And that whole. That whole vibe. So I'm very. I'm very intrigued by this. By this. I think it's gonna be so fun. Makes sense. A good avenue for. For the family. I feel like we were all kind of waiting for them to do something like this or hoping that they would do something like this, because the Tiktoks are so entertaining and everybody's so familiar, and I'm kind of in the camp, like, if they're gonna share, so. And of course, a TV show is different and it's a lot more, but they. I feel like they share so much on TikTok, and Ashley's posting a ton on TikTok of the. You know, we got the younger kids on there all the time, too, so it's like, at least you're gonna get paid a lot of money to put.
Rhea
It on tv, no one's happier than her.
Megan
Yeah.
Rhea
Than Ashley, than Ash, than Alex's stepmom. Than getting this reality show. Yeah. I feel like they do have a really interesting family dynamic, though. The whole background between the parents and how they co parent and how they all seem to get along. But I'm sure there. There's fights and chaos behind that, so it'll be fun. We'll have the Naders on Hulu and we'll have the Earls on Netflix, and we'll see who comes out on top as the new Kardashian family.
Fran
Yeah, totally.
Rhea
Totally.
Fran
But I'm. I'm pumped for them. I think this is great. I think I'm really.
Rhea
I'm.
Fran
I'm very excited to watch this because I think their family is fascinating and. And very entertaining.
Rhea
Yeah, I do too.
Noah
And.
Rhea
And I'll take any, like, sort of fun, dysfunctional sort of family dynamic on TV to. To watch as a reality show, because we love that kind of reality tv. Agreed. So I think that's probably the avenue they were headed down anyway. And then to wrap up topics, we got all. All of Blake Lively's texts with Taylor Swift and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and the list goes on and on. And I have to say, you know, it's all. It's all fun. You know when you're like, ooh, like the text about, like, the dragon from years ago, and then you get more and more. You start seeing more and more texts.
Fran
And you're like, when you see other.
Rhea
People'S texts, it's never gonna be read in your mind the way that they meant for it to be. You know what I mean? Like, it's always gonna be interpreted a bit differently.
Megan
Totally.
Rhea
Because it's people. The texts are people who know you and you talk a certain way. And so reading these, it just feels like really the most. Invasion of privacy.
Fran
It's wild because you're seeing the post, and I'm like, gee, I'm. This feels like maybe the judge didn't need to put these all out here. I don't know what.
Rhea
I don't know why we had to read the messages.
Fran
I don't know why that these all need to be be on unsealed, so to say.
Rhea
I don't know why we needed the messages between Blake and Taylor about their friendship.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Like, some of these text messages, to me, if they don't include, like, the movie itself and the discussion about the movie, I'm like, I don't know why we needed these out here. But we're getting them. And we can clearly see now there was a time period between, you know, Blake and Taylor. And Blake, you know, was focusing on herself, and she was checking in with Taylor to be like, yo, are we good? And Taylor was kind of just like, I miss my. My friend, the way that she used to talk to me. And then, you know, there was text from Taylor about Justin Baldoni. And, you know, it just seemed like friends texting to me.
Fran
It definitely did. And at the same time, I think, like, these texts were included by Blake's team because I understand where they're coming from. That it shows. It's supposed to show the strain that her personal relationships took during this time and what going through all this with Justin did and affected and all these things. So it's like, oh, you see those early texts where it's like they're talking about how when shit's going down with. With the movie earlier, like, 2023, right? Was it like. Yeah, I think it was more like 2023 earlier, where they're, like, kind of going back and forth, and that's when there may be. I think Taylor had called Justin a bitch. Like, it was just like they. They were talk. They were talking shit. And, you know, once again, one of those things where it's like reading this, I'm like, I. It's just like, oh, no. I just think everybody thought, like, like, my God, please no one ever sue me. Where my text messages have to be.
Rhea
I have to be out in the.
Fran
Public like this, because it's just. It's a disaster. Nobody wants that. Everybody feels like it's a safe space. And now all of a sudden, everybody's out there. And I thought, no wonder Taylor Swift and Blake's relationship is strained right now, because I'm sure that Blake was like, well, I need to include this. It's a massive part of the story. But Taylor's like, well, now my text messages are out there. There is just. There's no way. It's like, I'm so sorry that this is happening. But at the same time, it's like, I have to do this because it's part of this whole process. And they. You were the one I was confiding in a lot during this, and now here we are. And it also sucked to read because clearly it was a strain on their relationship. They were so close. And Blake's, like, sending this rambling email about how she doesn't know if she's overthinking, but are they okay? And she just wants to get it out there and talk about it, because it doesn't seem like they're okay. And.
Rhea
Yeah, there is no world in which Taylor Swift is okay with her text messages being out in the world right now. I mean, anybody, anybody, anybody, anybody be okay with this? No. Because you're talking to your friend. You think that there's no way.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
That these textbooks are gonna get out, you know, calling Justin Baldoni a bitch. You know, to your friend. And now the world is seeing it, and you're like, there's just no way you can be fucking happy with that.
Fran
And it breaks my heart, too, because they were so close. And Taylor's like, I just miss my. My, you know, funny, darling friend. Friend who is been so wrapped up in all of this that it feels like you.
Rhea
She's lost herself and basically talking. She was basically like, you're talking to me like I'm, you know, just another. Yeah.
Fran
Like I'm another, like, you know, business or whatever instead of being peg in this story here.
Rhea
Yeah. I mean, the more and more texts come out, there was Blake texting Ben Affleck asking if he can watch the movie.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
You know that she's dealing. She's dealing with this director, writer, producer, the whole thing, saying, you know, she loves Jennifer Lopez as well and would love her opinion on it. Said Matt Damon was gonna give it a watch. You know, Ryan was talking about Damon about it, and it seemed like they had gotten to a point in filming and making this movie that they had gotten so many people involved in this because it was just such a disaster. Like, yeah, it. It's Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Never did. I think that their names were going to be pulled into this.
Fran
Like, no. But it's like, clearly they were so worried about reputation.
Rhea
I saw Not Skinny but Not Fat that posted that her name was mentioned not in a text with Blake Lively, but Justin's team.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Mentioning. Oh, not Skinny, Not Fat. Posted on her Instagram story. And I'm like, her name was brought into this.
Fran
No, it's like.
Noah
And it's just checks in the office.
Fran
Yeah. It was just the details of that. They were really monitoring everything.
Megan
And.
Fran
None of this was shocking to me in the sense that, like, we know that they really were not happy with anything Justin Baldoni was doing. And. Yeah, they were. And they were majorly talking to their friends. And you can see it. And there's some language used. Like, even in the Ryan messages, it's written. So Ryan Reynolds. It's like. Like, what he sent to the Damon's was like he said, the stories are already finding their place in the pantheon of legendary Hollywood. Hollywood insanity. We're about to be off for at least a year and a half, maybe two years, maybe forever. Let's play pickleball.
Rhea
I kind of thought to myself, Ryan Reynolds never drops the act.
Fran
No, I think that's just him.
Rhea
You know what I mean?
Fran
Like, Ryan Reynolds is really not an ad.
Rhea
But I'm saying Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds 100% of the time. Like, yeah, we all, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, sometimes, you know, we chill out. We're not, you know, all the time being, you know, Mr. Funny Guy. But Ryan Reynolds 24 hours a day.
Fran
Yeah. Is this.
Rhea
He ever get tired?
Fran
I, you know, it must be exhausting.
Rhea
Having in his movies, in his life.
Fran
I think it's exhausting having. Having that level of fame and having that kind of reputation where you are fairly widely regarded as like a good guy, you know? You know what I'm saying that you're.
Rhea
Like, you're funny guy.
Fran
You're pretty. You're pretty well liked. Where it's like the egos on these people are so astronomical too. Where it's anything threatening that situation, disaster. So no wonder they're reaching out to every other famous person they know because they're like, we need. We gotta save face. We need people to like this movie. Or we need to tell people we to get ahead of this thing. We got to get ahead of this movie being. Putting out all this shit like they should. Got to start having other people look at it. Like they were so worried about how they were going to be perceived and what people are going to be saying.
Rhea
They should have squashed this movie. Why was this not film squash. Halfway through.
Noah
The whole budget was probably ridiculous. Like, it was probably too much money to like.
Rhea
Yeah. Too. Because my God, it seems like a nightmare on all fronts.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Like from Justin side, from Blake side. Like, it just seemed like these two people just really did not fucking work well together.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
At all. And the movie should have been squashed.
Noah
Honestly. No, it was only 25. I mean, only 20. But 25 million is not like crazy.
Fran
No. In the grand scheme of things.
Noah
Made 350 million.
Fran
Here's.
Rhea
Holy.
Fran
Yeah, here's an excerpt of that's because I'm saying when Ryan Reynolds wrote this note to Colleen Hoover, which was also included, it was like, like, I think they. When the movie came out, I think they were like, oh, well, it's not being absolutely ripped apart as like worst movie ever. I think A lot of people went and were like, damn. Kind of enjoyed the movie. Too bad there's so much drama going on behind the scenes.
Rhea
I think when we both saw we were like that movie.
Fran
Yeah. It was like I like was like I didn't think the movie was terrible. I know it seemed like the. The.
Noah
But they probably wanted like critical acclaim.
Fran
No. No. Old Yes. I think. I think like they thought this was going to be Oscar moment for Blake and I think that they law. Like, I think that when things took a turn is when they started to think that, oh my God, this movie could be an all time stinker. And then they got all these famous. It's. It's Blake's trying to re edit the movie. Justin's got an edit. Blake Skynet. We all know all that also went down too. But like Ryan wrote this note to Colleen Hoover. I'm sending you literally every form of congratulations. I see this sky while jumping up and down and rapper rapidly happy clapping. At one point, I was three feet from you at the after party, but I wasn't able to extricate myself from Sony Studios chairman's mouth. I'm still in here and I'm a little shocked. I have service. Holy. You guys really pulled it off. Like Colleen, this thing is on fire everywhere. And audiences have wrapped both arms around the film. You and B made something gorgeous out of ingredients you didn't ask for, which is what makes you both in this whole post production team so clutch. I heard you guys got a tummy bug and you're stuck in New York. I can't think of anything worse. Although it might be your body ridding itself of any residual baldoni. I'd rather be puking in a gulag than hijacking performative feminism while practicing personal growth catchphrases in the mirror. I hope you're taking a moment to enjoy this. I know the road wasn't always easy and clear. What a complete fucking win this is. I know we all breathe rare air. I realize how lucky we are. But I also know how generally good you and B are. I can literally write you 85 more paragraphs eulogizing what this all means to me. But mainly, I'm just incredibly proud and inspired by you and B. So it's like, I think the movie came out and they were like, oh, maybe things can be saved here. But this, I mean, reading this is just once again, you're like, oh, my God.
Megan
Oh, he.
Fran
Yeah, the language that they used when it came to working with Justin. And like the, like the. The Terms and like, what things that they were saying. It's just crazy.
Rhea
Can we just pause for a second and I have a question. Yeah. How do you guys feel about a grown man using the word tummy?
Fran
No, I didn't like that.
Rhea
Yeah, that one didn't sit right.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Hey, can't record today. I have a tummy ache.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Rhea
No, that I. I would tell you to grow the up because that. It doesn't sit right with me. Only I can use. Tommy, you can't use tummy.
Fran
You know, it makes me sad. My stomach hurts. No tummy. He can't be saying that. I don't know. I don't know if that's just the result of having small children that, like, you know, when parents just have small children, they start using child speak.
Rhea
This is what I meant, though, by Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds 100 of the time.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Like, he's like, you have a tummy bug.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
You have a tummy puking in the gulag.
Fran
Like, okay. Yeah. But no, like, it's. It's sad.
Rhea
It's very clear. He hated Justin.
Fran
They hate his guts. And it's sad to see. It's sad to see the evolution of the text with Taylor too. It's like when this was happening and Taylor had gotten involved and we know when that'll happen in the meeting and yada, yada, we don't have to break it all down again. But seeing, like, Blake thank her and be so, so thankful that, like, Taylor was willing to get involved and throw her two cents in there. And Taylor's like, you're the coolest person. I love you. Like, they're just. They're so close. And then you see the. The whatever email exchanges, like, clearly things took a turn. Things got so strained, which is unfortunate. And you know what? Also isn't really being talked a lot about because all these texts, like Taylor Swift just dominate. So when it comes to these conversations, too, is that other documents were unsealed this week which had texts from Jenny Slate, who had called Baldoni a false ally, fraud, and the biggest clown and the most intense narcissist and astoundingly wrongheaded in text to multiple, multiple people.
Rhea
See, when. When you hear Jenny Slate talking like this.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
It does make you wonder. Somebody who works so closely with him, calling him a false ally, a fraud. All these things, you know, you have to. You have to. Right?
Fran
And it does seem like Jenny has really tried to stay out of this as much as she can.
Rhea
And you have to ask questions ago. Okay. Now, well, what. What has Justin done to make them feel this way? I think we would be, you know, doing a disservice if we didn't at least ask that question, because I think people are very, very quick to automatically jump on Justin's side or there are people who just jump on Blake's side.
Fran
And it's still pretty crazy how that this is still obviously going on in mids. If this whole thing does go to trial, it was going to continue.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But I just.
Rhea
I want to hear, you know, like, Jenny Slate saying that. It's like, well, wow, you know, why? You know. Yeah. Like, and I'm saying, like, I. I want.
Fran
I mean, I think we know why.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
Everything that she's. I think is everything Blake has said happened.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And everything that was happening on set and things making people uncomfortable. And I know that the young act, the young actress who played the younger Blake had said that, like, I think in the scene of her losing her virginity or something that Justin said something along the lines of, like, I know I shouldn't say this. Like, that was hot. Like, after they filmed this.
Megan
I don't know.
Fran
Just like, weird like that.
Rhea
See, like, that's. That's no good. And like. And that's what I mean. Like, I mean it more in a way of like. Well, I want to believe Jenny Slate, you know, like, not automatically, because I just. I just think people are so quick to just jump and take Justin Baldoni's side.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah.
Rhea
Because he does present himself in a way.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And it's great. I was just gonna say, like, it's really crazy how still, even when all these posts, everything being posted on social media, the. The way that social media is still reacting to all this is, like, flooded with. I believe Justin Team Baldoni. I believe Justin Team Bell over and over and over and over. It's really like, like, it's. It's very interesting. I just find, like, I'm like, oh, if you're seeing all this. And yes, I understand that this. These messages in this round of stuff is all coming from Blake's team. Like, this is what Blake's lawyers have included and. And it's on Blake's. They want it to be on. On Blake's side because a lot of the messages and, like, reaching out to Ben Affleck and the Damon's, like, it feels quote unquote, like, cringy. And those things, like, the way maybe it's written that in the court of public opinion, they'll be like, oh, that's. That's like, so lame that they did that or whatever. People want to think about that. But. A federal judge will consider Baldoni's bid to dismiss Lively's lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault on Thursday if it is allowed to proceed a trial for the case of separate May 18th. So once that happens, then, you know, the trials will be.
Rhea
Will.
Fran
Will be in May. But it's. I. Little bits and pieces keep coming out and I just, like, I just don't get. And maybe this is just my own, like, not understanding how this all works in the legal world, in the court system, but I just don't know why the judge would even allow all this to be released. Like, I'm like, you know, it's like, oh, a judge unsealed all these files or whatever. I'm like, but why? I don't like, but why? What is this? What does this do to help the case at all?
Rhea
I don't know. Media attention. Like, I. I don't know. I. I do not know. I don't understand that part of it. Right.
Fran
I'm like, what, doesn't this just make it worse?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Until, like, make it more blurred and make it harder when this. Actually, if it does fully go to trial.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, I agree with you on that. But it's going to continue. And if it goes to trial, we will be seeing it soon. But I think we're going to get more, More of this back and forth.
Fran
Yep. Yep. Definitely.
Rhea
All right, that wraps up today's topics. Picture this. It's Monday morning. You open up your laptop and Outlook hits you with 87 unread emails. Your calendar just looks like a game of Tetris. Your boss wants a report, your team wants a presentation, and you just want to get to your couch and take a nap. Enter Microsoft Copilot. Copilot summarizes your emails. Boom. You're caught up. It drafts your report in Word, it builds your slides in PowerPoint and even pulls insights from your Excel data. Suddenly, you are the office hero. You're organized, you're responsible. And maybe your boss has taken a second look 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 Co Pilot. Because sometimes the smartest move is letting AI do the work. Learn more at Microsoft.com 365copilot. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another game of Beatrian. Fran.

Fran
We do, we do. We do.
Rhea
So we can't let them get us down.
Fran
We'll see how that goes. Yes. Okay, so it's 15 questions. If you get the question right, you get the point. If you get it wrong, the other team can steal the point. Whoever's the most points at the end wins. To determine who goes first, Noah's going to give us a movie.

Podcast: Chicks in the Office (Barstool Sports)
Episode: Taylor Swift & Blake Lively’s Texts Shading Justin Baldoni, Oscar Noms + Alix Earle Reality Show
Date: January 23, 2026
Hosts: Rhea & Fran
Occasional Guests: Noah, Megan, Sarah
In this episode, Rhea and Fran deliver their signature Friday energy live from a cozy hotel room in Los Angeles. The episode covers the latest in pop culture and entertainment, including Harry Styles’ newly announced world tour (with a special focus on his MSG dates), the internet buzz around Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s leaked texts (and their legal implications), a hot rundown of this year’s Oscar nominations, and Alix Earle’s upcoming Netflix reality show. The hosts maintain their fun-loving, sharp-witted tone while dissecting these stories, and round out the show with their much-loved trivia segment.
Harry Styles tour announcement fangirling:
On Zoe Kravitz–Harry Styles romance rumor:
On the mess of the Taylor/Blake/Justin Baldoni situation:
On the Oscars “money games” and F1’s out-of-nowhere Best Picture nomination:
Fran on Dakota Fanning never being nominated for an Oscar:
On the implications of celebrity group chats being made public:
Discussing Ryan Reynolds’ tone in leaked emails:
Upbeat, pop-culture savvy, and occasionally irreverent, the episode is packed with fan energy and inside jokes—particularly for loyal listeners who track awards season, celebrity gossip, and TikTok/influencer culture. Rhea and Fran balance snarky commentary and genuine excitement, especially regarding the Grammys and Harry Styles’ tour. Their take on the Taylor/Blake/Justin drama walks the line between empathy for the stars’ privacy and fascination with the behind-the-scenes revelations.
Closing Words:
“We are headed back on tour and we want to see your beautiful faces there… We love you so very much, and we’ll talk to you on Monday.” (93:06 – Rhea)
