[Rhea]

What's up everyone?

[Noah]

It's Chicks in the Office with Rhiann Fran giving you that Friday energy on Wednesday. Happy Wednesday, everybody. You know, it's like, it's kind of like a hangover. Like the day after we have one of the biggest, if not the biggest interview of our life, you know? Yeah, this isn't a Demi Lovato episode and I'm sorry to you guys. I wish we could have her on Every episode.

[Rhea]

I know, but we're just really being fed with a lot this week, which is great. And I've been seeing people's comments of like, oh, my God. It's only. It's just the beginning of the week. We're already getting Demi Lovato podcasts. We're getting Taylor Swift on new. It's. It's big for the millennial fandoms right now.

[Noah]

It is huge. Let's put an emphasis on Demi Lovato on chicks in the office. That's the priority of, you know, pushing. But, yes, we're about to spend the whole rest of the episode talking about it. I know. Yeah, it was very exciting, though. But I just want to, like, go listen to the dummy interview. You know what I mean? Stream fast. But no. Very excited.

[Listener]

New.

[Rhea]

Come to Brazil.

[Listener]

She was waiting.

[Noah]

Noah's baiting. He's baiting. He's being a beta right now.

[Rhea]

I'm still living in my Jonas hangover. I put my red dress T shirt on today.

[Noah]

Love it. I'm so jealous of that.

[Rhea]

I'll just kind of blocking Nick's face over here. But that's okay.

[Noah]

That's okay. That's an amazing T shirt. Yeah, it's really a great T shirt. No, but we never even caught up about the weekend besides the Jonas concert. But I had such a funny.

[Rhea]

Because we just jumped right into it.

[Noah]

We did. But I had such a funny situation happen on Thursday night that before we started the podcast, you were like, can you please tell this story?

[Rhea]

Yeah, I had to react. Cause I. I thought about it on Monday when we were recording. I was like, this just doesn't fit. But then I was like, I gotta remember to tell her when we record for Wednesday that she's gotta. She's gotta tell this.

[Noah]

She's gotta tell this story on the podcast. Oh, my God. No, it's too good. But I hope it's not like you had to be there, because it really is so funny.

[Rhea]

No, it's definitely not.

[Noah]

If you, like, put it in perspective. So Thursday night, we decided to go to Emilio's Emilio Bellotto's for. Is it Emilio's Bellotto or Emilio.

[Rhea]

Emilio's Bellotto?

[Noah]

I believe Emilio's Bellotto. Not Emilio Bellotto's. Yeah, it's Emilio's Bellotto.

[Rhea]

Emilio's Bellotto.

[Noah]

I know that, but for some reason, when I'm telling the story.

[Rhea]

Well, sometimes when it flies out, but.

[Noah]

Amazing restaurant in New York City for those who are not familiar. I mean, even Ciara on Trader said that her Favorite dish is the. Let me tell you, it's also my favorite dish ever. The veal Antonio. It is to die for. So good. But Chef Anthony, who is a part of the family and is the chef at the head chef of Emilio's Blotto, is so kind. And he became friendly with Matt through. Honestly, I don't even know how. I kind of threw other people.

[Rhea]

And then the story of his life. Yeah, just like how he knows all these people.

[Noah]

He's a friendly guy. And they became friendly. And so we were lucky enough that Matt texted him and was like, hey, I want to come with my parents and my wife. You know, can we get in? So, so graciously, Chef Anthony, you know.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Noah]

Thank you very much.

[Rhea]

Because they don't take reservations.

[Noah]

They don't take reservations. So we go to dinner and listen, it's just like, the best food ever. It is so good.

[Rhea]

You get big clams.

[Noah]

Oh, my God, yes. Obviously, the veal parm. We had meatballs. We had fried mozzarella. We had the. They have the best chicken wings ever. Really? I talked about this last time. Noah, you had them too, right? The chicken wings at Emilio's is so good with the.

[Listener]

Honestly, I was skeptical because when I think of, like, Italian food, I don't think of chicken wings. But they were incredible.

[Noah]

It's with peppers and onions.

[Rhea]

It's so, so good.

[Noah]

Like, best chicken wings ever. So it's really honestly the best food. And we're having a great time. I would say we're eating at a normal pace. I don't think it's taking too long. I think it's a normal pace. But we decide we're gonna get espressos post dinner. We're gonna have a little dessert digestiva. We're doing the whole nine. It's my in laws first time there, and we were like, hyping this place up so much. So I get up to go to the bathroom, and the bathrooms there are literally basically in the kitchen. Like, they are so small. And they're literally, like, in the kitchen. And I'm trying to pee. And I hear the mom, like, going back and forth with the sons in the kitchen. And they're like, ma, you can't just kick people out of their table. And they're, like, going back and forth. And I'm like, no, this is definitely about our table. Like, yeah, she definitely just came over to our table and kicked us out. Like, that's what's happening right now. And now I can't even focus on peeing. And I'M trying to get out of there fast. I'm like, clearly, we're getting kicked out. And I'm like, oh, my God. I'm trying to pee. They're yelling. You can't get people out. And they're like, she's like, yelling back.

[Rhea]

She's like, oh.

[Noah]

But they want to leave. Like, they're yelling at each other. Go back to the table. Every. Everyone has risen out of their seats. They're cleaning off the table. I see my wine that I saved for my last sip to get back off on its way out of the table. And come to find out it's because Bobby Flay is on his way and needs that table. I'm like, what? She's like, bobby Flays. I'm sorry. Bobby Flays on his way. Bobby. Bobby plays on his way. You gotta get up.

[Rhea]

It's just. I'm like, of all people, it is so funny. It's so perfect because it's just like, the most Bobby Flay thing of all time. And honestly, really, it's just, like, probably.

[Noah]

Not even on Bobby Flay, but it's fitting.

[Rhea]

It's Bobby Flay on Entourage. Fitting for Bobby Flay. So good, you know, of like. Of that being like, well, Bobby Flay certainly can't sit another table. This is the table he likes.

[Noah]

It's so funny. And everybody knows Entourage is one of my favorite shows. So when you think about the storyline with Bobby Flynn, he's like, is Flay at my fucking house? Like, is Flay at my fucking table right now? Like, the fact that it's like, Flay was, like, this villain in Entourage, and then all of a sudden, we're getting kicked out. Matt's poor parents are like. They loved it, though. They were like, this is fucking.

[Rhea]

It's such an amazing story. And you guys had such an amazing dinner and you're, like, finishing up anyway, that it's, like, so funny because it wasn't like. It was early in the dinner where you're like, oh, my God, I can't believe we're getting up. It's at the end.

[Noah]

No, you're like, oh, my God.

[Rhea]

And it's for Bobby Flay. Which is so.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I mean, you texted. You texted Joe and me, too, and we were cracking. It was you. Like, I just had the most Entourage moment ever.

[Noah]

It was like living in a TV show. Like, you need to get up because Bobby Flay. That's his table.

[Rhea]

And of course, I immediately asked. I was like, well, did you wait for Bobby Flay's arrival? No.

[Listener]

It's like when we were in Chicago with the. Jerry Seinfeld's coming.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Noah]

Yeah. That is. That is funny.

[Rhea]

No, he did show up eventually.

[Noah]

He did.

[Rhea]

We just let. Yeah.

[Noah]

And we got the proof that Bobby Flay did show up. And Chef Anthony is so sweet. He was like, please tell your parents that Bobby Flay is currently sitting at your table. So it wasn't a lie. Would never. But it was so funny. Cause he was, like, also hilarious.

[Rhea]

Lie to, like, if you need to. If you're like, God, this table can't. This table won't get up. Let's just tell him Bobby Flay's gone.

[Noah]

Flay needs the fucking table. It was unbelievable. Like, and so good. They loved it because they were like, that was one of the best meals we've ever had. And then to. We're done. But then, like, getting kicked out of the table for Bobby Flay, it just makes us.

[Rhea]

This is an A plus experience. New York City moment. New York City experience.

[Noah]

Unbelievable. And, like, it's just so Bobby Flay.

[Rhea]

Classic Bobby.

[Noah]

It is so fucking funny. Oh, my God. I was like, like, cheesing about it all night.

[Rhea]

No, seriously, I thought about it all weekend to the point where, like, rarely am I. You know, we talk all the time, and rarely am I like, oh, my God. I gotta remember to make sure that Rhea tells that story again. Because it's. That it's cracking me up when I.

[Noah]

Texted you guys, being like, bobby Flames took our fucking table. Like, it is.

[Rhea]

It is too Flay in my fucking house.

[Noah]

Yeah, it's playing my fucking house flame.

[Rhea]

My fucking house.

[Noah]

Hey, grill master. Like, it's just. Oh, it's iconic. So good. But it's seriously, like, I think my favorite restaurant. It's just the best food in the entire world. It is so, so good.

No, I know. But on a serious note, like, I won't be okay.

[Rhea]

No, I know, I know.

[Noah]

I won't make it past the fourth.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I don't like getting to that point though. Everybody knows that. But I don't ever to a point where I'm like, so like.

[Rhea]

No. And that's not even from the drinking. That's just a mix of what some of those.

[Noah]

Mixing the drinks.

[Rhea]

What some of those rides. What some of those rides entail.

[Noah]

Like, we're a bit older now. Everybody knows that. Right.

[Rhea]

If you don't think I'm gonna do everything possible while we're there, then shit, like, amazing. Have we even spent the last eight years together?

[Rhea]

No, I know. I just.

[Noah]

Okay, wait. This is me, Little Mermaid with my Minnie ears on in front of the Magic Kingdom.

[Rhea]

Oh, yes. Oh, that's an old picture.

[Noah]

I know. Thanks. Reaction that you gave.

[Rhea]

I thought you were so. I thought it was more recent.

[Noah]

I mean, this was 2016.

[Rhea]

Yes. 10 years ago.

[Noah]

Well, that's the last time I. No, that wasn't the last time I was there.

[Rhea]

Can't be.

[Noah]

No, it's not. I literally went with Matt.

[Rhea]

Star Wars. Star wars was not open then.

[Noah]

Yes, it was.

[Rhea]

Was it?

[Noah]

Because this is my sister with Chewbacca. 2015. Yeah, 2016.

[Rhea]

2016. You said yes, huh?

[Noah]

Star wars was. And I'm gonna ask my sister to send me the pictures of us with Chewbacca.

[Rhea]

Maybe it was something else. Maybe the open that was. Maybe that was just the ride. Because I'm looking at Star Wars. Galaxy's Edge is a themed area at Disney's Hollywood Studios that opened in August 2019.

[Noah]

So where did I go?

[Rhea]

Maybe it was just, like, a Star wars series ride that just wasn't as in depth as. Just not as in depth as what they have now.

[Noah]

Let me tell you, I have pictures with lightsabers and Everything.

[Rhea]

Yeah. I think maybe they had the ride for a while.

[Noah]

Okay. But they also had the characters. Because I'm also a waiting for those pictures too, where we posed with Chewbacca. You know, we were with the other big guys.

[Rhea]

Yeah, the other guys.

[Noah]

The other guys.

[Rhea]

You know, the whole thing.

[Noah]

Yeah. Because they opened. I went to Disney. Was in 2022. Yeah.

[Rhea]

Okay.

[Noah]

And I went to Cuz.

[Rhea]

Remember. Remember the Disney squad here? Like, they. Jeff took Dave, Robbie and all that. And it was like the Star wars that had just was newly finished.

[Noah]

Okay. So I'm thinking of a different.

[Rhea]

So you experienced something else.

[Noah]

I experienced Star wars, but it was different. But yeah. Yeah. The last time I went was 2022.

[Rhea]

Good. We'll all be experiencing it for the first time together.

[Noah]

Amazing. I'm gonna need these pictures of me with Chewbacca though, asap.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Just for fun.

[Rhea]

You'll get it.

[Noah]

But yeah, I'm all for. I'm all for.

[Rhea]

No, we're have a busy week. It's very exciting. Merch.

[Noah]

What are our outfits gonna be? Should we all match? Should we wear?

[Rhea]

Well, we gotta wait and see what we get, but you better believe I'm getting ears as soon as we walk in the door.

[Noah]

Duh.

[Rhea]

I actually still have my ears from the last time I went to Disney. I could probably just pack.

[Noah]

No, you need new ones. New ears.

[Rhea]

Yes, but the whole point, we should.

[Noah]

All wear matching shirts. So at one point of the trip, so that everyone knows we're family unit.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Noah]

You know, I always made fun of families who did that. Like, always. I was like, ugh, look at them doing that. Look at that.

[Listener]

It's all about, are you doing it ironically?

[Noah]

But when you do it. But I. But I've always wanted to do it, you know, in Disney. And we're gonna have to make that happen for us.

[Rhea]

You know my logic behind keeping the ears. And anytime Joe and I have cleaned out the apartment, he's like, do you really need these? My explanation has been, well, I could bring them for the next time I go to Disney. So jokes on him when I just come back with a new pair of ears.

[Noah]

Well, maybe you could bring the ears and, like, have one of the characters. Right.

[Rhea]

I could have rotation, different days, different ears.

[Noah]

And I'm sure they have different ears. Like, you know, they look different. The ones I had were sparkly.

[Rhea]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

So I didn't have sparkly ones.

[Rhea]

I want classic mini.

[Noah]

Oh, my God, we're gonna look so cute.

[Listener]

Who is your favorite Disney character?

[Rhea]

Well, it's What? Are we going Disney? We're going Princess.

[Noah]

Well, we sent.

[Listener]

But like, I'm just. I was trying to think of mine. I was a big Monsters, Inc. Guy. Yeah, I. I think it's all, like, it all counts.

[Noah]

I was a big Tinkerbell girl. That doesn't surprise anybody. I loved Tinkerbell.

[Listener]

Is Mulan Disney?

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Noah]

Cinderella was my favorite Princess Pixar.

[Rhea]

I like. I know it is Disney, but it does feel like its own.

[Noah]

Yeah, I love Stitch.

[Rhea]

I mean, the Little Mermaid is my. By far, my favorite. Always has been. Big Little Mermaid gal growing. I had Little Mermaid everything.

[Noah]

Yeah, Little Mermaid was amazing.

[Rhea]

Little Mermaid everything.

[Noah]

Also, the Jungle Book is just like memories.

[Listener]

I was never they. His name's Mowgli, right?

[Noah]

Yes, Mowgli.

[Listener]

My parents used to call me that when I was a kid.

[Rhea]

That's cute.

[Listener]

I was like, super, like, skinny. I used to be.

[Rhea]

And you just, like, loved running around outside.

[Listener]

I might have just, like, I don't know, shy now.

[Noah]

That's cute. You know, that's cute. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm so excited. I really am excited too. Talking about it makes me more excited.

[Rhea]

Too, because I haven't been in a while.

[Noah]

Yeah, we've talked about it way longer than I thought. Not a while.

[Rhea]

I went two years ago, but.

[Noah]

Yeah, we both went to your school.

[Rhea]

You know, it's funny though. It's like I went with younger. Like, I went with my nieces. And so it's like now it was a whole. Whole nieces, nephews, every. Everything. So it's like this. This trip's for me, honey.

[Noah]

Yeah, this is for us.

[Rhea]

I get to go on all the rides I want to.

[Noah]

What if we, like, leave with a Disney tattoo next week?

[Rhea]

I. I would. As someone who is not a Disney adult, but loves Disney, I'm not gonna.

[Listener]

Get a tattoo after it was such a thing of me. Not like that would have been so easy to check it off then.

[Noah]

But I was like, no, we're not. We're not getting a Disney tattoo. We're not.

[Rhea]

Who knows? After a couple drinks at Epcot, we googled nearest tattoo parlor in Orlando. You know what?

[Noah]

They should have a tattoo parlor in Epcot.

[Rhea]

God, that's. They shouldn't, but would be funny.

[Noah]

Yeah. In the America portion.

[Rhea]

Yes. Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah, they should definitely have that.

[Rhea]

I'm looking forward to the. We can wait.

[Noah]

We could probably get fake, like, henna's and, like, fake tattoos.

[Rhea]

Oh, 100. They have a million of those.

[Noah]

Oh, I'm gonna be tatted up. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna have every Disney princess going down my arm.

[Rhea]

I might get my face painted again like a princess.

[Noah]

That would be so. Oh, my God. We should totally do that.

[Rhea]

Haven't done that since I was maybe five years old.

[Noah]

It's just harder to do, like, in the hot Orlando sun.

[Rhea]

Yeah. It won't be good for our skin.

[Noah]

I don't. Yeah. Yeah, we'll see. You never know what's gonna happen. It's also possible for us to drink at the other parks, too.

[Rhea]

You just have to go. Go have maybe a meal.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Like a little sit down, have a little. A little head to be our guest restaurant or Cinderella's royal table.

[Noah]

We don't need alcohol to have fun.

[Rhea]

No, we don't. Not at Disney.

[Noah]

Never. You know, especially not at Disney.

[Rhea]

Also not in August when it's 900 degrees and 800% humidity.

[Noah]

No. You know what? I never did breakfast with the characters. I've always wanted to do that.

[Rhea]

Yeah, we. I think I did it. Not the princess one, but, like, the ones where, like, Chip and Dale would come to your table. I have those pictures. I'm pretty sure I've got some. Good.

[Noah]

I got.

[Rhea]

We've a full. It was a great outfit. I had to remember. It was, like, the first time. I think my mom took all three of us to Disney. We all have our face, faces painted. The whole. The whole thing, you know.

[Noah]

Epic.

[Rhea]

Yeah. I gotta find the pictures. They're very cute. You know, I dress as Queen Amidala for, like, three.

[Noah]

For multiple.

[Rhea]

No, it wasn't. It was one.

[Noah]

Oh, look.

[Rhea]

One.

[Noah]

This is me with Chewbacca. I'm cutting out the rest of my family.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Oh, yep. There you go.

[Noah]

Told you.

[Rhea]

There you go. No, I mean, hey, you probably wanted some sort of Star wars ride, but it was not the full Galaxy's Edge.

[Noah]

I look swollen in this photo. The hot Orlando sun.

[Rhea]

Yep.

[Noah]

Wow.

[Rhea]

It'll do it to you.

[Noah]

Yeah. So I'm excited. Very, very, very, very excited. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We're gonna be talking about all of the Taylor Swift announcements. Very big, very big news happening.

[Rhea]

And we have the popcorner because Taylor dominates. Really?

[Noah]

Yeah. And we also fed you guys this week with the dummy interview. And, you know, and we don't really.

[Rhea]

Want to talk about anything else.

[Noah]

That's not true. There's just not that.

[Rhea]

No, it's not. I mean, granted, you got to take what you can get in August because there's normally not a lot of activity. So the fact that Taylor's doing this. We get the Demi interview. We got Taylor doing this. Now this is like, as much as we're going to get.

[Noah]

We should basically work.

[Rhea]

Everybody's taking. Taking it ease in August.

[Noah]

Yeah, we should, like, work for Disney. Like, with the amount of, like. I know. All we do is talk about Disney. All we do is have Disney guests. All we going to Disney next week.

[Rhea]

We fucking love Disney.

[Noah]

We do. That's what I'm saying.

[Listener]

Disney trivia next week, too.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I'm gonna be so bad at Disney trivia.

[Listener]

I had so many people sending questions for.

[Rhea]

That was just a question for that. If you can give us an estimate, did it feel more like traditional Disney questions or like Disney Channel questions?

[Listener]

I haven't gone through. I have hundreds of emails to go through.

[Rhea]

Wow. Okay.

[Listener]

Because I think it's gonna be a mix, though.

[Rhea]

All right.

[Noah]

Yeah. A lot of Disney movies I haven't seen since I was younger, I feel like. So I don't know how I'd say anything.

[Listener]

Disney's on the table. Disney Channel, Disney movies, Disney Park.

[Rhea]

It's like, name all the mice in Cinderella. You know, like those.

[Noah]

Gotcha. Okay. Okay.

[Rhea]

That would be my guess.

[Noah]

Yeah. All right, I'm excited. Well, let's move along. We have more things to talk about. And by more things, I mean just Taylor Swift.

[Rhea]

Just Taylor Swift. So she's dominating.

[Noah]

Yes. All right, let's get into it. Abercrombie knows denim and how denim should be. All of my denim right now is from Abercrombie. My shorts, my je. My little mini skorts. I love Abercrombie denim.

She announced this on the New Heights podcast, which is really so crazy when you put it into words.

[Rhea]

It really is. Because you're like, it really is. Wait, what? What? On New Heights, she did this. New Heights.

[Noah]

New Heights. Clearly, she felt like that was a safe space to do it.

[Rhea]

This girl is madly in love.

[Noah]

She's madly in love.

[Rhea]

You have to be madly in love.

[Noah]

Madly in love.

[Rhea]

Because, you know, like, Travis can't be the one suggesting this. No, that has to come from Taylor. So she's at the place where she's like, you know what, honey? Let's just do it on the pod.

[Noah]

It's crazy.

[Rhea]

Let's just do it on the pod. Let's just do it on the pod.

[Noah]

Why not?

[Rhea]

Come on. Let's just do it on the podcast. A new album that everyone's been dying for on the pod, right?

[Noah]

People are thrown off by this.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I love it. I think it's great. Why not?

[Rhea]

I scratch your back, you scratch mine kind of thing. She announces this. This. This podcast is going to break all numbers records. Probably be the most listen podcast episode of all time.

[Noah]

Yeah. It's insane. And the ad revenue these two are gonna get.

[Rhea]

Like, they should hope Taylor gets Jason.

[Listener]

Kelsey couldn't come in person for this.

[Noah]

I was wondering that. I was like, he's just over Zoo.

[Listener]

We're having, like, the possibly, like, the biggest podcast episode ever. And he's like, I'll just stay at home.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, true. Who knows where he. Who knows where?

[Listener]

I mean, he hangs out with them all the time.

[Rhea]

He's probably.

[Listener]

Whatever.

[Rhea]

He's got little kids, and maybe they.

[Noah]

Want to keep it all that also.

[Rhea]

Who knows? We're like, do we know exactly where Travis and Taylor even were now wherever.

[Listener]

Like, he usually does it, it seems. No, no.

[Rhea]

It kind of looked like a different background. There's a whole bookshelf behind them. He doesn't normally have that. He's like hidden Taylor Swift things.

[Listener]

He's doing it out of her. They built a set.

[Rhea]

Apparently they were house hunting in Ohio.

[Noah]

I did see that.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Well, listen, everybody was waiting for her to announce this album, and then she decided to just do it on New Heights, which I guess if you want to throw people off, that's the way to go about it. Because people are probably like, she'll never. I was expecting her to ever announce total her podcast on. I mean, her podcast, her album on New Heights. So it's kind of like the perfect way to surprise people because I would.

[Rhea]

Have bet my life she would never go on that podcast. No.

[Noah]

Ever. Like, any podcast ever.

[Rhea]

No. Or like, in a sense that maybe she would, like, yell from the other room kind of thing. Like, oh, hey, it'd be like a little Taylor cameo, but not like actually sit down and announce a major milestone.

[Noah]

Do you think this will open her up to go on other podcasts or do you think she'll just do this one?

[Rhea]

I think she will just do this one. I think it's like, why does she have to do anybody else's? She'll just do Travis's.

[Noah]

That's so true. Well, anyways, I do love the title because it sounds like it's going to be really fun and it seems like it's be pop focused.

[Rhea]

Yes.

[Noah]

Jack Antonoff does not have to do anything with the album. I think this time around it seems like he's not producing, so people are interested in that as well.

[Rhea]

Could be back to that classic pop Taylor sound. She's working with Max, Martin and Shell back again. And then she also put a playlist out on Spotify that are all like, their songs that they have worked on previously. And that's very, like, all, you know. And in my mind I'm like, is she doing this all for Travis? Like, truly? Because, like, those are Travis's favorite songs.

[Noah]

She's in love.

[Rhea]

I know. Travis is like, babe, you gotta get Back to that 1989 sound.

[Noah]

Hey, I'm all for it. Because 1989, my favorite album. Very excited for this. And did you see people put this together now when you type in the life of. I saw this instead of the life of Pablo, the life of a show girl will pop up first.

[Rhea]

Good.

[Noah]

Yes.

[Listener]

You think that's intentional?

[Rhea]

Could be.

[Noah]

It could be it's also orange.

[Rhea]

Put it past her.

[Noah]

And the album cover of the Life of Pablo's orange. I don't know.

[Listener]

I'd respect her for it, but I feel like she's probably like, that would.

[Noah]

Be kind of a crazy coincidence.

[Listener]

It's also like, Connie is self destructed enough.

[Noah]

Yeah, that is true.

[Rhea]

But like, if this is a weird coincidence. It is. If this is the realm that we're working with. I'm so excited. So she put out this playlist. It's called and baby, that's show business for you. We got 22. All you had to do was stay bad blood blank space oh my God. Dancing with their hands tied Delicate don't blame me Endgame gorgeous How you get the girl? I did something bad I knew you were trouble King of my heart Message in a bottle New romantics ready for it Shake it off so it goes style we are never ever getting back together Wildest dreams wonderland Just like oh it's just like, oh, my God.

[Noah]

All my favorites.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

So that's so exciting.

[Rhea]

I'm. Yeah, I'm. I'm very excited.

[Noah]

You.

[Rhea]

She had us all up till 1212. I was so Monday was such an amazing day. And then you just get it like hits you because you're the adrenaline and then you crash. And I was literally. Joe was laughing at me because I got into bed. I was laying in the dark with like my phone on my chest with like my eyes closed, but like, like crap, like with a bit of a headache but just like cracking my eye open to be like, okay, 1205. 127.

[Noah]

Yeah, like fighting for your life.

[Rhea]

1210. Like, come on, I got to make it.

[Noah]

No, I. I feel you.

[Rhea]

It wasn't even announcement on the website. It was like the website was. The website was the countdown to. Then you can obviously buy, pre order the album, but you had to go back to Instagram to see the New Heights clip.

[Noah]

Crazy. It was really some crazy market rollout.

[Rhea]

Plan for New Heights.

[Noah]

Crazy.

[Rhea]

See, Jason dyed his beard.

[Noah]

I did see that. I did see that.

[Rhea]

Everyone was. That was cracking me up to everyone. Be like, Jason couldn't. Couldn't make it there, but he made sure to dye his beard.

[Noah]

Yeah. No, the whole thing is, is really. People are freaking out because it's so shocking. Like, you just would never expect this to happen. I'm so excited for the album itself. I feel like it's gonna be so good and so fun and I'm very excited for new music. The whatever graphics are going on though.

[Rhea]

Not for you.

[Noah]

They're not great.

[Rhea]

I feel like I haven't really seen any graphics. It's just like the website. Like what her website looks like is.

[Noah]

Just like a bad. I don't know the correct term. Obviously.

[Rhea]

I got you. It's just like the aesthetic, but just like that. Like that. Like how that looks.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rhea]

The.

[Noah]

All of it looks like glitter board. I. I also like the color orange, so I'm not against orange. It's just like for some reason, like the sparkles look blurry. Like. I don't know.

[Listener]

I feel like it's like purposely bad. Not like bad. But that's like.

[Rhea]

Well, there's not like a lot of detail to it on purpose, I think.

[Listener]

Yeah, but sometimes that's like people go for a look like that.

[Rhea]

Yeah, right.

[Listener]

Yeah, maybe like so clean.

[Rhea]

It's just so crazy there. I've seen so many TikToks and so many people digging into these Easter eggs that she has left for everybody for. For so long. It's just so crazy how ahead of the game she is and like how planned out things are. And I'm sure some things change here or there. Like, I bet you a year ago she wasn't like, I'll be announcing this album on New Heights. But the whole orange thing was like very prevalent and in so much stuff. People were going back and looking at the eras tour ending of like there's an orange door that she walked through. I was like, oh my God. It's just like, you know, the orange was. Has been in the mist. The little Taylor Swift, like the star that's in the TS and the logo. Like she was using music videos. It's just there's always things and tree pain also working overtime because they perfectly lined up the announcement of the album with this full GQ spread for Travis where the pictures are absolutely bonkers. Yeah, Absolutely bonkers. No way around it. They're wild photos. I guess we call that fashion. I don't know. Is it not mine?

[Noah]

Hey.

[Rhea]

But sure he should look like he had fun. That's fun. He's. He's in the water in a fur coat.

[Noah]

Yeah. Kind of sick.

[Rhea]

Holding snakes, alligators, crocodiles, whatever the heck they are. Fur hat. The whole close up of his face. America's sweetheart. It said Travis Kelsey.

[Noah]

I don't. Yeah. I didn't know that that was what they called him.

[Rhea]

I don't really think anybody called him that until this.

[Noah]

But I think this is like the first time.

[Listener]

And they called me America's sexiest man alive.

[Rhea]

Yeah. I do. The article was really cute though. Like some of he did talk about their relationship.

[Sponsor]

[Rhea]

He said. You know, he gets to be the plus one. I get to go and be that fan because I'm a fan. I'm a fan of the music, I'm a fan of art. It's so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field. I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows. And then they were talking about the tight end university thing, which happened after he, you know, did the interview for the article. But he said like, she's such a big fan now, like football. She knows everything. She understands. She just loves to hear about his.

[Noah]

Job.

[Rhea]

Saying that she really is such an athlete. It's like, you know, people, whatever, get testy with that. Like saying, you know, she may not think of herself as an athlete, but. And she'll never tell anyone that she's an athlete. But I've seen what she goes through. I've seen the amount of work that she puts in her body and it's mind blowing. Which is also so true.

[Noah]

I mean, so true.

[Rhea]

He's talking about how a three hour.

[Noah]

Long performance is on stage every single night.

[Rhea]

Like, right? And he's like, look, I go out there on Sunday, I give him my all. But she's doing this three, four nights in a row.

[Noah]

Yeah. That is athleticism. That requires a ton of strength.

[Rhea]

Yep. He was asked if you learned anything from her about how to hold the crowd's attention or harness its energy. He said people gravitate towards how she performs and how she makes it feel like the entire stadium is in this little room with her. She's so good at mesmerizing everybody and making everybody feel like it's an intimate situation. I think that alone, there's so much calm and Coolness. She's beautiful. She's up there making everyone feel at ease. What's. And then he talked about how there's similarities between her and her his mom, which was really sweet. The interviewer reminded him of an interview he once did where he said his ideal partner would share some of the same qualities as his mom. So they asked, are there any similarities between the two of them? He said, their kindness, their genuineness, their ability to say hello to everyone in the room, their ability to show love and support no matter what. And on top of that, their work ethic. I saw my mother reach goals that she had set for herself. Go from being a teller to working all the way up in the KeyBank building here. Thinking of his mom's determination and perseverance, Kelsey gets a bit emotional and pauses briefly to collect himself. I've seen Taylor do the exact same thing of setting goals for herself and exceeding the expectations and really captivating the world in that regard. So sweet.

[Noah]

So sweet.

[Rhea]

He then said, whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people. When there's not a camera on, we're just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it's talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out. But I would say that it says normal of it happened very organically. Even though from a media standpoint it was being tracked, it still happened all very organically. Nothing I've ever done has been controlled, organized process. Has never been in a controlled, organized process. When I say it was so organic. We fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with. We are two fun loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It kind of just took the fuck off.

[Noah]

Hey.

[Rhea]

Sure did, honey.

[Noah]

Really did. I honestly do feel like the more you learn about them, they really do sound so similar in that way.

[Rhea]

Absolutely.

[Noah]

You know the.

[Rhea]

When you like strip it all down.

[Noah]

All the outside noise, their personalities, honestly, like, I feel like they're just like goofy, fun loving. So it's. I know a great week for them.

[Rhea]

It's really sweet. But it's like you read these quotes of like, oh, they're talking about. You read the whole article and it's these such nice things he's saying. In between are these. These fucking pictures of him like in a fur coat and a leather hat and like a. And like a staff, like in the middle of a river.

[Noah]

It's epic. Honestly, it's Amazing. It's amazing.

[Rhea]

It's amazing. So that was just a perfect timing to pair that all together. I wonder. And we'll be able to talk about it on. On Friday, of course, because new Heist comes out Wednesday at 7pm if she will announce the date of the album as well on the show. Because right now, when I went on the website, you could pre order and it says, you know, the album will ship around October 13th. This is not the album release date. So I don't. Because October 13th is also a Monday. They should probably just picked October 13th as a date to say because.

[Noah]

Right.

[Rhea]

13. But my guess would be. I mean, it was somewhere in that realm. If that's the date they're going to put on the website, it's like. Yeah, okay. So somewhere maybe early October.

[Noah]

It's got to come out before then. Because you.

[Rhea]

Right. You would think early October. That would be my guess.

[Noah]

Maybe that Friday before.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Or that they're. You know.

[Rhea]

Yeah, I said that that Friday before is 10:10. That's a nice date.

[Noah]

Yeah. Why not?

[Rhea]

You know, I don't know if that has any significance.

[Noah]

Yeah, that's true.

[Rhea]

Just being.

[Noah]

I feel like she only does things with significance, so. Yeah, we'll see. Right?

[Rhea]

Exactly. But I feel like that would probably be somewhere in the right realm. Like early October.

[Noah]

Yeah. That's so exciting, though. New music for the fall is so fun. Especially like fun pop music. So exciting. I think we think that's what it's gonna be. Yeah.

[Rhea]

Though she's clearly madly in love. We're just gonna. It's just gonna be her talking about how awesome Travis is.

[Noah]

I'll take it.

[Rhea]

I know. Exactly. Exactly. I love that. It'll be hopefully like, in that world, fun pop songs.

[Noah]

Very, very exciting. It'll be so fun.

[Listener]

Do people not think that December 12th is like the release date? That was my first stop. But people are saying october twelve.

[Rhea]

Twelve.

[Listener]

Yeah. Yeah, twelve twelve.

[Noah]

Well, the album is shipping.

[Listener]

I just don't think we saw the October shipping thing.

[Rhea]

Yeah. I just don't think they would put. This album will shift ship around October 13th for a release date in. And that'd be kind. I think that'd be kind of fucked up if they put that date on there and then it came out two months later. Like, it's like, no, probably not. They just wanted to put anything and.

[Noah]

Is it gonna take too much?

[Rhea]

Why would they have just. Yeah, like, why wouldn't you just write shipping date tbd, you know, there's a Friday.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

But it's weird to put that on the website. Then it's like that put shipping date. I think that would be revealed later.

[Listener]

I think that'd be really weird. But I also think that it's weird knowing how Taylor Swift works, that she would just like have the time period when the album's coming out. Like that's how you're kind of.

[Rhea]

Well, that's why I kind of think she'll just say it on New Heights and then it won't be like a whole drawn out thing.

[Listener]

Maybe. Yeah. Oh yeah. Because maybe on New Heights she'll actually show. They're not gonna blur it out then.

[Rhea]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They may not. It'll be out. Like they won't have the blurred with the lock. Like it'll be like the actual.

[Listener]

And she just didn't want the actual announcement to be on New Heights. She needed to do that.

[Noah]

Like, although I think the actual announcement was.

[Listener]

But like not in the. Like it wasn't. The episode is out and it's in. You know what I'm saying?

[Noah]

Yeah, but it was the clip on New Heights.

[Rhea]

Yeah, but it's in the episode.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I guess herself, the oppo. It's a New Heights.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Podcast post.

[Listener]

That is true.

[Noah]

That was how it was announced.

[Rhea]

They posted and collabed with her. It says New Heights show and Taylor Swift.

[Listener]

The website was down when I first. First looked at 1212.

[Rhea]

Yeah, it. It took a second. I also like couldn't reshare that clip. Like Instagram, like glitched. I tried resharing that clip like four times and it's still up. Like it's still saying like waiting to upload.

[Noah]

So many people are sharing like it still won't.

[Listener]

YouTube is gonna get like you.

[Noah]

Oh my God.

[Rhea]

It's gonna be millions within.

[Noah]

Within. Yeah.

[Rhea]

Minutes.

[Noah]

That's crazy that she might break.

[Rhea]

They may break YouTube.

[Listener]

This is the longest like interview she's ever done, right?

[Rhea]

I mean, I don't know if you would say long interview. She's never a podcast, so it's like she's done long form interviews. But of course they've been like in print or in other styles, you know.

[Listener]

Cuz I've seen people being like. We've never actually seen them like talk to each other.

[Noah]

Really?

[Rhea]

No, never. Besides the two seconds we just saw of them being like, honey, we're doing a fucking podcast.

[Noah]

Yeah, that is true.

[Listener]

We gotta get Marty in here for the next one.

[Rhea]

Crazy, crazy glimpse behind the curtain they're giving us.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

I wonder like what else they're gonna talk about.

[Noah]

I feel like it's just gonna be a load of fun.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

You know?

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Probably a lot of making fun of, like, Jason.

[Rhea]

Right, right.

[Noah]

You know, family banter.

[Rhea]

Taylor and Jason team up to make fun of.

[Noah]

Yes. Oh, yeah. Like, just, like, good family.

[Listener]

Maybe Kylie pops in.

[Rhea]

Maybe.

[Noah]

Maybe. Yeah. I think it'll just be, like, family fun. I love it. You know what I mean? Just, like, good vibes.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Talk about the album, stuff like that. Take listener questions.

[Rhea]

This really must have all come together in a. And not, like, super last minute, but in a way where, like, normally they don't put out any. Any episodes during this time because Travis is in camp. So it's interesting of, like, when they did this all, but here it is.

[Noah]

I know. I don't. The thing is, I don't like to think too much into these clues and such because I'm always wrong.

[Rhea]

I know.

[Noah]

So it's like, once everything's just there. Yeah. Oh, my God. Fun.

[Rhea]

Well, I mean, I immediately, when I saw the graphic of the silhouette, I was like, holy, it's Taylor Swift. And, like, Gia could not have been in my DMs. Faster. Like, duh. They're getting. They're getting us again. Like, don't believe it. And then, like, 20 minutes later, she was like, oh, fuck. I think it's real.

[Noah]

Yeah. Right? I don't think they would have went that hard.

[Rhea]

I think they've just been clowned. They've been clowned so hard so many times. They're jaded. They're jaded.

[Noah]

Right? They have to be.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

But that's why I don't fall into the traps.

[Rhea]

I know.

[Noah]

Because then I'm just like, oh, fun. When I do find out about.

[Rhea]

Right. You're like, holy. Okay.

[Noah]

Oh, my God. Great problem.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Sounds fine. Cannot wait. And that's it for topics, because that is taking up the entire week.

[Rhea]

Yeah. The life of a Showgirl. I like the album.

[Noah]

I do like the album title, but didn't the Last Showgirl is Pamela Anderson's movie that just came out.

[Rhea]

Yep.

[Noah]

That's why it sounded familiar to me. Yeah. No, I like the title. I think it's fun.

[Rhea]

I do, too.

[Noah]

I think, like, people will be able to play around with that title of Time for sure. So. Cannot wait. Great stuff. And that wraps up the topics. Truly Hard Seltzer is all about fun.

[Fran]

This is Gabby. I'm calling from Canada, and I just saw that you did an interview with Demi Lovato. Like, the episode hasn't even dropped yet. But it has me thinking, since Rhea is obsessed with Sense in the least weird way possible. What did you smell like?

[Rhea]

Sense.

[Fran]

And now that you have met a bunch of different celebrities, is there anybody that, like, stands out? Their scent, like, really hit you and you're like, hey, that's amazing. Or maybe the opposite. They did not smell so good. I'm just curious, you know, in not trying to be a weirdo in any way, but what are these celebs smelling like these days? Let me know.

[Noah]

Good cue.

[Rhea]

I can't say I felt like I got a good. Like, I feel like Demi was very. Smelled lovely.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

Like, Like I wasn't, like, normal. Knocked over.

[Noah]

No.

[Rhea]

In either direction.

[Noah]

No, it didn't. Nothing stood out to me. Yeah, she did not smell bad. And no, she. It wasn't like, it wasn't like, oh.

[Rhea]

She'S got a strong scent on.

[Noah]

Not to brag. I have smelled Rihanna.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Unbelievable.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Somebody. A guest of ours that stands out to me right off the top of my head was Maren Morris. Smelled really good.

[Rhea]

Yeah, she did.

[Noah]

And I remember telling her that when she walked in the room. She did.

[Rhea]

I see. I forget a lot of the times, too, when I'm, like, thinking back on it of. Of who really stood out. But you're right, she did.

[Noah]

She did. And I. I think she was wearing. If I remember. Gentle fluidity. If.

[Listener]

Did she tell you that or you just.

[Noah]

I did. No, she said I didn't smell her and go, whoa. That's gentle fluidity. Yeah. Gentle, fluidity. But I'm not sure if it was the gold or silver one, but that is what she was wearing. I remember that.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Rihanna drove. I was. Well, she walked past him. I was on a golf cart and I literally. I was like, what's that smell? I turned. Yeah. It was unbelievable.

[Rhea]

I feel like most of the guys that come in normally, like, are fine. Yeah, no, like, I can't think of.

[Noah]

Anybody that was like, no, the brother smelled good. I remember when we hugged them on stage. Smells really good.

[Rhea]

Bianca did smell really good.

[Noah]

The brother smelled really good. But we couldn't decide which one it was because we hugged them.

[Rhea]

All right, right, right, right. But like a lingering scent. It was like all three of their clones combined smell collective.

[Noah]

It was like, wow.

[Rhea]

Who else?

[Noah]

I feel like I complimented.

[Rhea]

I know I can't really.

[Noah]

Somebody else recently who I was like, oh, wow, you smell really good. It might not have been a celebrity guest.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

But the one that comes off the top of my head was Maram Morris. I thought she smelled great.

[Rhea]

Y. The last time you were not here. But when Ariana came in, she. I felt like she smelled really good.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

And that was.

[Noah]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Listener]

Backing you up, bro.

[Rhea]

No, no, you're right. She did. She did. That's really the only person I else I can think of right now.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Listener]

You know, what about bad?

[Rhea]

I. I can.

[Listener]

No one.

[Noah]

We can't say no.

[Rhea]

And that was. Out of. That was not a guest. No, it was not a guest. We really haven't had any smell.

[Noah]

This person on tv.

[Rhea]

Yeah, we haven't had any smell. Yes.

[Noah]

No, Nobody who I thought have smelled bad.

[Rhea]

Even like live shows, people get nervous, get a little sweaty, you know, I feel like. Yeah, no, no, Never been. And we'd remember the smelly ones.

[Noah]

Wait, yesterday I was in the bathroom doing my lip. My lip combo. And Ray, who is so funny on TikTok and she works here at Barstool, was in the bathroom and she was like, wow, you smell so good. What are you wearing? And I like, so embarrassingly. Embarrassingly had to say that I was wearing my wedding scent on the day that we. I have not worn it.

[Rhea]

Well, you wanted to. You wanted to go.

[Noah]

I thought it was like, good, like, vibes. That was your answer? No. Well, I was explaining. Cause it's. It's a Jo Malone and it only came out and I like Mick. Whatever and like it. It's a limited edition. Like, I don't think you could just buy this one.

[Listener]

I was asking you, and you're like, it's my wedding scent.

[Noah]

No, no, I would never say that like that. But I was just explaining to her, and then I was like, oh, it's actually like my wedding scent. And then I put to it, and I was like, oh, my God. Like, I totally put on my wedding scent this morning because I was like, oh, my God. I had such a great. This was my train of thought. I was like, my wedding was, like, the best day ever.

[Rhea]

Yep.

[Noah]

Now if I just spray this good juju. Good juju, like, positive vibes, for sure. But that was the first time I wore it.

[Rhea]

It's amazing.

[Listener]

Do you ever have bad days and then whatever you're wearing that day, you, like, don't want to wear it again because you're like, eh, no, but I have T shirts that I won't wear because I. I, like, had not great days in the past wearing those T shirts.

[Rhea]

Clothes. No, not a scent.

[Noah]

Not a clothes.

[Rhea]

I've had that. Yeah.

[Listener]

Although a scent, too. Sometimes I'm like. It takes me back to, like, a moment.

[Rhea]

Had a night out in an outfit where I was like, that was a terrible night out. I don't think about wearing that outfit.

[Noah]

Definitely. I'm. I have some perfumes that, when I spray them, it's a strong memory of a time.

[Listener]

Oh. A lot of times it's like, when I'm. Because I don't really wear cologne unless I'm going out, so a lot of times I'll be like, oh, wow, you were super drunk. The last time I smelled.

[Noah]

Last time I smelled you. Yeah. That's a good question, though. But no. Yeah. I wish I remembered more.

[Rhea]

I will have to take notes, you know?

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Rhea]

We'll start a running list. Smelly and non smelly.

[Noah]

I think one time somebody came in and I was like, you smell really good. And I don't think that they were, like, so receptive of that, but I can't remember who it was.

[Rhea]

There's just been a lot of people. It's hard to.

[Noah]

I know, I know. Well, anyways, moving on. We've talked about this enough.

[Rhea]

Let's. Let's do one more.

[Fran]

Hi, Rhianne, Fran. Love you guys so much. I think you're both so beautiful. Anyways, my pop culture hot take is I feel like everybody gets so mad at Bravo. They're like, stop platforming bad men. Stop platforming bad men. Like, these toxic men. Why are we platforming them? Right. I get it to an extent. Like, yes, Jax, get him out of here. Too much. It's overwhelming. I don't like It. But if we stop putting bad men On Bravo, the TV's like, the reality TV is gonna suck. Like, if you think about it, the Valley would be. I mean, Vanderpump would be nothing without Jax cheating on Stassi with Kristen in the first couple seasons. And like, they in the Valley, like, Danny's awesome. He's lovely to watch because he's so sweet and kind, but, like, would he really have a storyline if everybody wasn't attacking his character? And then everybody hates Tom Sandoval, but then he goes on things like Traders and everyone's obsessed with it because he's such good reality television. So my hot take is that we can't stop platforming bad men or reality TV is going to be boring. I mean, like, we have the housewives and the women carrying it. But, like, it is kind of fun to watch toxic douchebags on tv. And I think that it highlights, like, situations in real life where we can be like, hey, that's wrong. I hope that doesn't happen to me in real life. And now I can point that out. Anyways, let me know your thoughts.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I hope you guys have the best week.

[Noah]

Okay. I think there's a line, right? If somebody is a douchebag on TV and like, okay, Sandoval, obviously what he did was literally so fucking bad. Like cheating on your partner of that many years with your best friend, like, terrible. Absolutely disgusting and terrible. Do I want. I didn't like Sandoval before that. I thought he was annoying to watch and not in like a fun way.

[Rhea]

No. Yeah.

[Noah]

And somebody called in last week with a sort of question being like, well, wasn't he like electric on trade in a way where we're making fun of him? So if he's on TV and I can make fun of him, fine. Jax Taylor crosses a line. Like, what? Wasn't it literal, like, abuse that they were talking about him pushing Britney into a bush? Like, yeah, I, I think that there's a line in between, like, douchebag on tv cheat and as an asshole versus, like, rotten to the core, like, bad guy.

[Rhea]

I agree with you on that too. And I think that there's a difference. When they like new shows or early seasons and guys do bad things, you're.

[Sponsor]

Like, okay, get the crew together and head off to the course in the new 2024 Chevy Traverse with impressive cargo room, three room seating, and the first ever Z71 Trim Traverse can handle your buddies and their golf bags with ease. Chevrolet together. Let's drive.

[Rhea]

Those do move along storylines Those things happen. People cheat, relationships end, people make bad moves, that kind of thing. But when it's like season eight and you're watching the same guy do the same shitty things over and over and over, it's like, all right, now I don't need to really see this anymore. Like, it's like there's, there's always tiresome, right? Because there's always gonna be like, you want. You get a new reality show. Like, like you get like Southern hospitality, like these, these young kids where it's like they, you don't really know much about them. But then you see these relationships, there's rumors about cheating, blah, blah, blah, all these things. But then like, maybe there's some redemption. Maybe they change their ways. Maybe there's things that they do where it's like, yeah, that's low level stuff. But if, like, if Southern hospitality goes on for 10 seasons and you get one guy who just like, is so terrible every single time, it's like, okay, we don't need to keep putting him on. You know, it's. Then it's just like, well, now we're, it's a broken record. We're just watching him do the same shitty things over and over and over again.

[Noah]

I totally agree. I think that there's a line. I think it's like, yeah, we do need people to do fucked up things on reality tv. There's a line of how fucked up? Like what do we, what are we considering fucked up?

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And how. Yeah, many years in a row are you gonna do?

[Rhea]

No, because look, at the end of the day, you need fuckboys for reality. 1000% do. So it's just right, like, like my.

[Noah]

Example of like a boy that's fine on reality tv is Jesse in Summerhouse. Like the way that people were acting towards Jesse and Summerhouse, like, yeah, was he a boy? And like the way he acted on the season. Shitty. Yeah, absolutely. Is he like a bad guy? No.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

You know, so like that's, I feel like, yeah, a good example of something like that.

[Rhea]

Definitely. I agree, I agree. And she's not wrong. It's like you one, you'd have no men left to put on reality tv.

[Noah]

Yeah. I mean, and it's like that is the thing with, with reality TV is like we're all talking about it.

[Rhea]

Yeah.

[Noah]

You know, we, they're bad, but we're talking.

[Rhea]

Yeah. Cuz that's what, you know, that's what creates the drama and stirs the pot and relationships and all those things. It's like obviously par for the course. But yeah, I think that makes sense.

[Noah]

All right, that wraps up the topics. I mean, the popcorner. We already did the topics and there was only one.

[Rhea]

All right, that wraps up today's episode.

[Noah]
