Rhea
What's up everyone?
Fran
It's Chicks in the Office with Rhianne Fran. Giving you that Friday energy on a Wednesday. Happy Wednesday, everybody. It is a huge day indeed. Or it's coming out maybe Tuesday night. If you're listening to this early, nobody really cares about what we have to say about our lives. Right?
Rhea
Glorious day.
Fran
Like, you know, we could talk, talk, talk, but I don't think anybody would really care because Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. And that is basically the premise of this episode. But before we get into all that, how are we feeling today?
Rhea
Good. I mean, she picked the perfect day to announce it. It's a 10 out of 10 day in New York. It's a stunning, beautiful weather. The colors seem brighter, smell seems stronger. Like it's just one of those days that already it was such a nice day. This is just icing on the. It's my dad's birthday. Happy birthday to my dad.
Fran
Oh, happy birthday.
Rhea
Happy birthday to my dad. He's being overshadowed. Not that he literally cares at all, but it is funny that in all of our family group chats, my answer like, haha, John, funny. Taylor Swift engaged on your birthday. It's like he doesn't.
Fran
He's like, I don't care.
Rhea
But it is, it is, it's absolutely glorious day. Good. Good week so far.
Fran
Yeah, it was a slow summer Tuesday.
Rhea
Yes.
Fran
So to be hit with this news on such a slow morning was like, wow, what a dream.
Rhea
Yeah. The two of them are really Keeping us fed through the month of August anyway. Like, August can be such a slow month and for them to just drop this is. Is incredible. And we will obviously break it down and talk more about it. Noah, you ran your 10k. You survived.
Noah
I did.
Fran
You're here to tell the tale.
Noah
I am. My camera's not working, but.
Rhea
Oh, that's okay.
Fran
We can hear you.
Rhea
Can everyone hear? I'm good.
Noah
Yeah. My mic's still working. Yeah. Ran the 10k this morning.
Rhea
Imagine you were just so disheveled looking right now like you ran the 10k. You was just absolutely dished.
Noah
People are probably like, you turned his camera.
Rhea
My camera's not working.
Fran
Yeah, we're just lying about your camera.
Noah
Not working, but yeah, it was honestly still not working. It's not working.
Fran
Sorry.
Rhea
That's all right. Well, you're here and you survived and that's another one off the list. And you look great.
Noah
Thank you. I mean, it really wasn't that bad. And it's just the Pilates and my legs were so sore that.
Fran
Right, right, That'll happen after your first Pilates class. The soreness, you'll prob. You'll get delayed, you know, a couple days soreness, and it'll probably last, but you gotta keep moving to get that soreness soreness out of there. You can't stay put now, so you're probably gonna have to go on some walks to get the blood flowing and recover those muscles.
Noah
I had icy hot on my hamstrings last night in preparation. Didn't really.
Fran
Oh, wow. So you're really prepared.
Noah
I tried to be, but I also was expecting to be chirped and made fun of for my pace, but apparently people were like, that's not a bad pace.
Fran
I saw your pace and thought, wow, that's fast.
Rhea
Your pace seemed great.
Fran
Yeah, I'm not a runner.
Noah
I mean, look, he's more of a runner, so he was like slowing it down a bit.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
What was your pace?
Rhea
A 10 minute mile?
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Like a little slightly over 10.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah. That's not.
Fran
I mean, yeah, bro, you should be proud of yourself.
Rhea
I think like a solid for a runner is what. What, like, what does Jake normally do? Like eight or probably like. Yeah, eight and a half something.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Which, you know, hey, if I had hadn't done pilates, maybe I would have gone for it, you know?
Fran
Yeah, exactly. Your legs were tight. Yeah, they were tight, but you got it done.
Noah
Another one. Hey, we're halfway 15.
Fran
We're halfway there.
Rhea
Well done. Well done. We're halfway There. We got more to do for sure.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
It was funny, though, that people. I. I shared that one comment, but people are like, taylor's engaged. No one gives a about your list anymore.
Rhea
Yeah. Your camera's broken. You ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
It sadly is overshadowing you. But honestly, thank God, because anything I was gonna bring to the podcast today wouldn't be even remotely interesting whatsoever. Like, I need to be wrapped in bubble wrap. I think I'm having one of those weeks that I just, like, keep hurting myself in some capacity. My toe is fucked up. It's the whole laundry list of things.
Rhea
What did you do to your toe?
Fran
Well, on Friday, we sat down to watch the map that leads to you. We had some friends over. Not putting the blame on any friend in particular, but. But if I did, Leah. No, I'm kidding. My Stanley cup was on the coffee table, and it was blocking the view of the television while laying down.
Rhea
Envisioning it in my head.
Fran
So Leah moved my cup to the floor. Okay. And I forgot that she had moved my cup to the floor. Okay. So when I got out, are you.
Rhea
On the right or the left side of your couch?
Fran
I was on the. When you're facing the tv, I'm on the right. Like, my little corner. You know what I mean? So I. I know exactly what you're doing. Yes. So I was getting up to pee.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
And I must have swung my foot way too fast right into my Stanley cup. And I screamed so, like, you motherfucking bitch. And, like, it was really dramatic. And in my head, I thought, wow, what a dramatic reaction. That really did fucking hurt, though. I look down, I'm gushing. Like, blood is on the couch. It's on the blankets all over my phone. I'm holding my toe. It's all over my hands.
Rhea
You got a nice white couch, too.
Fran
Yeah. So the blood was everywhere, and I thought, oh, this is bad. Looked at my toe. The bottom part of my nail came off. Not the top, the bottom. So you can imagine which toe. My big toe. Oh, my big toe. And a little corner of the toe next to it. The nail.
Rhea
So it just, like, took a chip out of it. It took a big chip. Yeah.
Fran
So that fucking hurt like hell. And then I woke, and then it was just like. You know when you're just clumsy, you're just, like, in a clumsy state. Boom. Like, the next morning, fucking banged my elbow so hard, I'm like, oh, my God, somebody wrap me in bubble wrap all while I have my period. So, you know, like, the things are Just everything's high end, elevated. It's like the heightened dramatics being, like, a total bitch about it, you know? So anything I was gonna bring today, even though I did just bring it by telling everybody, um, you know, the cramps are at, like, the hundredth degree.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
As well. So I'm delighted by this news today because it's lovely and exciting and just like, a burst of energy that I needed on this Tuesday.
Rhea
A toe injury really is nothing you could do for it. And also, it's like. It's one of those things where you tell yourself, you warn yourself, and then you still end up doing it. I know these people understand. It's like when you repeatedly hit your leg on the corner of the coffee table. When you're, like, coming around the corner or the edge of your bed, and you know it's there, but it's just like, you clip the side all the time. I did the same thing this morning. I. My suitcase, which I, of course, have not unpacked anything, was on my floor in my bedroom. And the way I opened it, I was like, I'm opening this in not a great spot. Like, I know I'm not opening it in a great spot, and I'm probably gonna hit my toe against it, and I'll just remember to, like, walk around it when I walk around it. Woke up to go to the bathroom this morning. It was still a little early, so I was gonna go get back into bed. Toe right on the wheel.
Fran
Went right into it. Oh, yeah.
Rhea
And there's nothing worse.
Fran
No, there's nothing worse if you're looking, big toe.
Rhea
Because you're like, I. And I told myself to watch out for the suitcase, and I did it anyway.
Fran
Oh, God. Well, now we're. We're two in the same with the big toe. But, yeah. So, yeah, after the incident with the Stan, the Stanley Matt was like, do you still wanna use. Do you still wanna use this cup? Like, I feel like maybe you have some animosity towards it. And I was like, no, no, I'm still gonna use.
Rhea
It's your Barbie one.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah.
Rhea
It's so cute.
Fran
It's so cute. So I was like, no, I'm still definitely gonna use it. Like, I'm not gonna hold animosity towards the cup. Like, it's not the cup's fault, you know, whatever.
Rhea
You will not hold a grudge if you're just an object.
Fran
But then I left my cup in an Uber today, so it's gone.
Rhea
Oh, shit.
Fran
Yeah. Yep. Wow. Yep, it's gone.
Rhea
It's gone.
Fran
It's gone.
Rhea
It served its purpose. It served you.
Fran
Clearly this cup needed to be no longer with me because now the cup. Yeah. Is gone.
Rhea
Yeah. Wow.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Wow. All right, well, time for a new a change, right? Some sort of new vessel.
Fran
I got a new one for your water. Like a new, like.
Rhea
Yeah, could be something else.
Fran
Maybe the hydro jug.
Rhea
Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe.
Fran
You never know.
Rhea
I'm going to Lady Gaga tonight, which, you know, it was maybe gonna be us. Maybe not gonna be us. Maybe gonna be you and Matt. Maybe gonna be me and you.
Fran
I know it was very confusing, but I'm going on September 6th now. I'm going to the other show that's on a Saturday. But you're going tonight.
Rhea
I'm going tonight with. With Kelly and Gia, which now I.
Fran
Feel left out of. But I wanted to go to Gaga when I would like really be effortless in it and like. But my cramps are surely going to take me out today.
Rhea
You don't want. It's not something you want to be at. I don't want to half ass if you're standing like you're in pain.
Fran
Yeah, no, I like I had one of those nights last night and I told you this, and I've talked about this on the podcast before, like a million trillion kajillion times. Like people know that, you know, I got my endometriosis. Sometimes the period pains. It really depends on the month.
Rhea
Yes.
Fran
This is one of those ones where like, it's like, and you had your.
Rhea
Period and then you didn't and then you got it again. Well, I woke up, you had it in Disney.
Fran
And then I woke up with my period period in Disney World on Wednesday and I was like, oh my God, what a terrible time. But then I guess it was just like a little preview because it went away this weekend and then because it was early, I was really supposed to get it this week and now it's back the week that I'm really supposed to get it and oh my God, I couldn't sleep last night because my cramps were so bad. I was just cuddling my heating pad all friggin night.
Rhea
Yeah, you can't go to Gaga like that.
Fran
Yeah. So thankfully Matt was able to change the tickets and now we're going to Gaga on September 6th, Saturday. Super exciting. We'll have a great night. But I was gonna be going tonight and although I wish I was going with you guys, like having like some pre show festivities and all that, I gotta, I gotta lay down with my heating Pad.
Rhea
No, for sure, for sure.
Fran
I have a date with my heating.
Rhea
Pad tonight, and a Saturday will be lovely. You can have, like, a full day, you know.
Noah
How many shows is she doing? I feel like she's been in New York.
Fran
She's doing a lot. She's leaving and then coming back to New York for that weekend for Saturday and Sunday.
Noah
Is she doing met? It's met.
Fran
Like, no, it's all MSG.
Rhea
Yeah, it's all MSG.
Fran
I'm very excited, though.
Rhea
She could certainly do MetLife.
Noah
I thought she was doing.
Rhea
I would have.
Noah
I assumed she was, like, same, but.
Fran
My hairdresser told me she was like, this show is fucking phenomenal. Best concert I've ever been to. She was like, you cannot miss out. So, like, change your tickets on the day that you, like, feel good.
Rhea
For sure, for sure. That's. That's the right call. And. Yeah, I know.
Fran
I'm.
Rhea
I am very excited. I've not seen. Not seeing Lady Gaga, like. Well, I saw her at Coachell in 2016.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
But I have not gone to, like, any. Any of her tours. My first one.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
I'm very excited.
Fran
Well, you guys are gonna have a great time.
Rhea
Yeah. Be fun. It's gonna be fun.
Fran
I would say, like, I'm feeling left out, but at the same time, I want to be able to.
Rhea
I don't know, we'll probably just, like, talk about Taylor Swift the whole time.
Fran
I know. Like, I wish I was there, but at the same time, like, you know, it's okay.
Rhea
Yep, yep, yep.
Fran
Don't have too much fun without me, you know, because, like, competitive combo, like, Kelly and Gia have each other. And, like, you, you know, you're like.
Rhea
You'Re just saying I'm the third wheel with that.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
She is my sister first.
Fran
I know, I know. So, like, that. Any point.
Noah
Last year.
Fran
Yeah, but any point. Somebody could be the third wheel at any point.
Rhea
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. You can make the argument really. For any of us.
Fran
Exactly.
Rhea
Yeah. So bring around the Rosie, you know?
Fran
Right. So I assume I'll be missed. But you know what? You guys have a great time.
Rhea
No, you absolutely will.
Fran
Thank you.
Rhea
Absolutely.
Fran
Well, thank you.
Rhea
And I just, like, I also love watching Matt be at concerts, so I'm kind of sad that I'm not. Like, we wouldn't have all been together.
Fran
Anyway, but we would have had, like, a pre show thing. Because when he got me the tickets for my birthday, he was like, bring Fran. Bring whoever. If you want to bring me, come too. He was like, who?
Rhea
Whatever your Choice.
Fran
Your choice.
Rhea
Your choice.
Fran
But then Kelly had an extra ticket, so you were like, I already have an extra ticket.
Rhea
Like, I could already go.
Fran
Yeah, I could already go. You could just. You could just bring that.
Rhea
I didn't want to rob Matt of seeing Lady Gaga live because it really is an experience.
Fran
Yeah, no, he will be fudgeing hyped.
Rhea
Yeah, he will, for sure.
Fran
Super exciting. We are coming to you with another Rum Haven happy hour in Savannah, Georgia, next Thursday, September 4th. We will be at the Peregrine from 5 to 7pM Having a happy hour with Rumhaven. And there's nothing we love as much as hanging out with you guys, but honestly, I'm lying a little bit. It's those delicious cocktails with Rom Haven. No one serves up real delicious drinks like Romhaven. It's made with real coconut water and no artificial flavors or preservatives for a clean and refreshing taste. And you can't beat the taste of real coconut water. It's delicious, it's clean and it's refreshing. You can drink it straight of rice or you can make a little fried energy cocktail like we do at our happy hours. And we really want to see you there, Savannah. So make sure you come out to hang with us. Head to rumhaven.com chicksintheoffice to learn more.
Rhea
That's pretty much it. I mean, like Leah said, our whole day has been derailed. Like, we were gonna come in at a different time. I was eating my lunch in my apartment. I. By the way, I. I know we all found out in different ways because, you know, in our group chats and blah, blah, blah, whatever. But, like, I found out from, like, my friend Lauren just texting in our girls group being like, wow, Taylor Swift's Taylor Swift engaged. I was like, that's so not the energy that I needed for that. And when I saw that, I went, ah. And literally, like, open my phone, open Instagram, squealing like a pig for like 30 minutes.
Fran
I mean, we could just get right into it.
Rhea
I opened up.
Fran
I opened up Instagram.
Rhea
We'll talk about the Love island reunion.
Fran
Yeah, we love island reunion. And we got popcorn after that, but nobody cares, by the way. I opened up Instagram and I saw the collab post and I thought it was like a music video.
Rhea
Right, right. For anything. Like, for Taylor Taylor collaboration, Taylor Swift and duh.
Fran
And I thought it was a music video. Like, because I. It was like English teacher and gym teacher, and I was like, oh, my God, cute music video. And I kept sliding. I was like, Wait, what the fuck?
Rhea
They're actually engaged.
Fran
I was like, oh, my God, that is incredible. So they posted this on a Tuesday early afternoon collab post. Very important. You know how we feel about those collabs.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
Very important.
Rhea
And just like us. Yeah, they're just like us.
Fran
It has to be meaningful.
Rhea
And engagement announcement, collab.
Fran
It has to be a meaningful collab.
Rhea
We have been collabing more, though. Just.
Fran
They've been clapping. Me and you have been collabing a lot.
Rhea
We've been collabing.
Fran
I almost. When you posted the Disney pictures last night, I was like, I should have you with the collab. I know there's one solo, but I.
Rhea
Would have been fine with that. Yeah.
Fran
You know, because then I was like, I can't do a dump now. It's all the same photos. So if you want to see Disney pictures, go to France. Instagram. And, you know, I also stole some.
Rhea
That were already up on chicks. The office.
Fran
I know, but, you know, if I post now, it's like the fourth time, people. Nobody gives a shit anymore. Maria. Yeah, you know, we got it. You guys were in fucking Disney.
Rhea
Look. That is the. That is the beauty of a collab post. You know?
Fran
Exactly.
Rhea
We've really come to. To learn.
Fran
We have. We've now.
Rhea
We've come around to it.
Fran
Appreciate the collab, which is why we've been collabing a lot. And more to come in the future, ladies and gentlemen.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Okay. I could see you're getting your hopes high.
Noah
We'll collab on that dance.
Fran
Yeah, Noah. We will be collabing on our hip hop dance. Listen, the hip hop. The hip hop dance was gonna happen this Thursday. To my surprise. It's Labor Day weekend.
Noah
You also texted me, like, when you did.
Rhea
The rhea found out on Monday. It's Labor Day weekend.
Noah
But when she stubbed her toes, she texted as if, like, I thought she was gonna say, like, she got hit by a car or something.
Fran
She's like, I fully thought my toe was broken.
Rhea
My toes. An important part of my learning a dance.
Fran
My friend Fiona broke her toe the night before my wedding.
Rhea
Oh.
Fran
Like, on the dresser in hotel. Her hotel room. So you could break it. You just. You could break it. When I stubbed this shit and it was gushing blood, I was like, surely this toe is broken. It's not. But I was like, oh, my God, this is gonna. This is gonna ruin the tour. This is gonna ruin the hip hop dance. But we were supposed to do the hip hop dance Thursday. To my surprise.
Rhea
It's Labor Day.
Fran
It is Labor Day weekend.
Rhea
It is a little early this year.
Fran
I was like, wait, oh, my God, it's Labor Day weekend. We got a house at the Jersey shore this weekend. And not with the barstool. Be like, you will not find me with the barstool.
Rhea
Disclaimer.
Fran
Disclaimer. Because I know people are like, oh, my God, no, no, you will not find me there. We will be with our friends.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Having a great time at the shore.
Rhea
Non. Like, you're going with nonpartial people. Just to clarify.
Fran
No. Yeah. No great time with friends that are non barstool people. Exactly. Um, some of my friends, some of Matt's friends. They're all our friends at this point. You know what I mean? Um, so it's gonna be a fantastic time, but we got the house starting on Thursday, and I thought, hip hop class. I ain't going to a hip hop class on Thursday night. I'm gonna be having myself a nice drink at the beach on the shore. So we're doing it at recently, like, in the next two weeks on a Thursday. The start of the San Gennaro Fest is that same night. So I said, maybe we'll do the hip hop class. We'll probably up a hunger. We'll probably work up an appetite. Sorry, not a hunger, an appetite. Yeah.
Rhea
And then we will be hungry for sure.
Fran
We'll be hungry. And we'll get a sausage and pepper sandwich after that. Knock two out in the same day. Boom. It's a good idea. And then we'll collab.
Noah
I'm assuming the whole team's coming to watch her.
Fran
You guys are coming to support.
Rhea
I. So I am now available, I think, for the new one. If you did. If you didn't move it. I was not coming. So this week, because it was.
Fran
Oh, well, thank God we moved it.
Rhea
You know, it was.
Fran
It's Labor Day weekend.
Rhea
Weekend.
Fran
I mean, I got here.
Rhea
I knew it. I was. I was well aware.
Fran
I totally forgot.
Rhea
When I saw, like. When I saw whatever. It was like 7, 8pm on Thursday, Liberty weekend, I was like, I'm not going to that.
Fran
I know. Well, we've been. We've been away. Like, honestly, I was away for 10 days, and, like, it kind of like.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Went past my brain a little bit. My brain got all, like, confuzzled and. Oh, my God. I haven't used that word since.
Rhea
Like, you're throwing out some different vocab today.
Fran
I haven't used the word confuzzled since, like, sixth grade. And I'm actually disgusted That I just used that word like ew. I got confused and a little fudged up about the dates and everything. Like I was just in. I felt like I was away for so long.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I needed my bed, like, you know, and I was just sleepy.
Rhea
And now you're gonna have time to plan the trip. To plan it anyway. I don't know how we started talking about our schedule again from.
Noah
Yeah, I got off track.
Rhea
We did. I'm like, let's. We were like we were dying to talk about Taylor Swift. And then somehow we went back to our. To our hip hop schedule. I know.
Noah
You guys just can't stop talking about the list.
Rhea
I know. God damn.
Fran
God, when is it ever going to end?
Rhea
I didn't love it. It's like Noah's list is irrelevant. Taylor got engaged and then we went.
Fran
Into talking about the scam list.
Rhea
I know.
Fran
Well, anyways, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. Beautiful posts. Surrounded by gorgeous flowers and a fairy tale.
Rhea
Today was a fairy tale.
Fran
Yeah, Fairy tale. The ring. Outstanding. I'm already. Fairy tale. Yes. Seeing people do a deep dive on the ring. They think it is an antique. Elongated cushion cut of some sort.
Rhea
Some sort of like antique setting.
Fran
Eight to ten carats. Wowza.
Rhea
Yeah. If I know my girl, this thing's been designed in her head for a.
Fran
Long time for sure.
Rhea
You know, and it looks like something that she would rock and yeah, you know what I was also really getting distracted by. But you know, we've seen her in it before. Is that wash that she wears? Yeah, that is quite like a Cartier like diamond fee. That wash is stunning. Absolutely stunning. Which you could really see in the picture of her, you know, holding up, holding up the ring and everything. But yet that's a big. That's a big ring. That's a big ring.
Fran
It's a gorgeous ring.
Rhea
Are we.
Fran
No, no. Travis, you think she's gonna go right.
Rhea
Know she's got some rock on her hand.
Fran
Big ass rock.
Rhea
Beautiful setting. She does like that vintage look. So I feel like that really makes sense. Like it's not. It is that big diamond but in a antique like vintage looking style. It's not just like the big diamond on like a whisper band, you know?
Fran
Yes, it's gorgeous. And just a stunning setting as well. Filled with flowers. I felt like it was very tailored.
Rhea
Like it almost looked like they were standing in front of a green screen. Yeah, it was. It was gorgeous.
Fran
And the. It just feels very like, you know, like, I don't want to say normal, but like Normal, like how you see your. The people you knew from high school announce an engagement, you know, with. With the pictures and the caption and the whole thing. The caption is so cute. Your English teacher and your gym teacher getting married, which is so perfect. But then it sparks the debate of when did this happen?
Rhea
Right.
Fran
That's the question. Now people want answers, and I'm talking about us. We want answers. We talked about this. My theory has happened within the last two weeks. Yeah, Like, I think this happened recent because I feel like they'd have to announce it recently or else it's gonna get to the point someone else would.
Rhea
You know what I mean?
Fran
Like, someone else will do it. His haircut, you know, there's all these different factors.
Rhea
Yeah, I really jumped. I really jumped thinking that it was before camp. Like, in my mind, I was like, oh, Travis probably did this before camp. Like I went into like full football mode. And I was really trying to like gather evidence to support my hypothesis. However, he does have short hair. And that short hair was debuted on July 27 when he was at camp. So it had to have been after that because he's got the short hair in the pictures. Of course he's got the short hair during the New Heights podcast too. So people were like, was it before the podcast? Was it after the podcast? I always fall in the category of like, thinking Taylor Swift has everything so planned out, but at the same time, I go through that thought process and then I reach the conclusion of, you know, she is a hopeless romantic and she's probably so fucking excited and you get engaged, you want to scream it from the rooftops.
Fran
Right. You know, I. I always thought when these two would get engaged, it would be announced like as soon as possible.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
So that's why my thought process went to, like, it happened recently and they want to announce it as soon as possible so that like they can announ it on their terms and it's not through the press and it's not like, put out the whole thing and they're just one o', clock, so in love and they're worried. Like, like she said on the podcast, like they're busy having their own real relationship. So this is very real relationship to me to just get engaged recently. Friggin announcement on a random Tuesday. I feel like she's such a numbers person that like my thought process went to. It happened on Wednesday, August 13th. Like that was the premiere of the New Heights episode. So like.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
You know, then you're like, did they watch the premiere of the podcast? And then head out to the garden, you know? Or was, you know, was the premiere happening there at the garden?
Rhea
Like, I think maybe he proposed before. Before the podcast?
Fran
Before recording the podcast?
Rhea
Yeah, right.
Noah
Before.
Rhea
No, no, no, not right before. But I kind of think, like, maybe that was another level of comfortability with doing the podcast because it was like. Well, I'm not. Everyone's gonna think I'm announcing my new album on my. On my boyfriend's podcast. But it's my fiance's podcast.
Fran
Right. But she said boyfriend so many times and she said she wouldn't be leaving Easter eggs about her personal life. So I felt like the amount of time she said he was her boyfriend on the podcast, it was like, you know, like, I feel like it was right.
Rhea
Maybe they just wanted to keep it. Like, maybe they wanted like a couple weeks because it wasn't that long. They probably recorded the podcast when? Beginning of August. Ish.
Fran
Somewhere around there, right?
Rhea
I don't know.
Fran
I don't know.
Rhea
I don't know. I go back and forth sometimes after the new. Could happen two days ago. It happened over the weekend.
Fran
Yeah. Like, my theory is it happened after the New Heights podcast. Was it that night? Maybe.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
Was it. Was it that week? Maybe.
Rhea
I just.
Fran
I feel like it didn't happen before it, you know, that's my theory. I don't know. Everyone has their own theories. Could be. Could be anything. But that.
Rhea
Couldn't she just be like every other girl and put the date of the engagement at the end of the post?
Fran
You know what? I thought you would have maybe done that.
Rhea
Couldn't. If she put a little infinity sign next to like 8, 13, 20, 25.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
That would have really. Would have helped us out.
Fran
It would have really cleared things up.
Noah
Giving a countdown on her website.
Fran
Heads up.
Rhea
Yes.
Fran
I mean, I saw so many people being like, maybe this happened last summer. No, seriously, you're outside of your mind and you think they got engaged?
Rhea
Engagement. I mean, two year anniversary.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Which do we. But we don't really know, like, what day they actually met, do we? No, we don't. They've never said that.
Fran
No, but like, why would. Why would they wait a year to announce their engagement?
Rhea
No, no, that's not.
Fran
That's like, like, let's use our brains a little. That's like, that would be insane. Imagine I'm wrong right now and I'm telling everyone to use their brains.
Rhea
But like, no, like, Taylor.
Fran
You don't think Taylor wants to walk around with that rock on her finger? Come on. Yeah, yeah, he's gonna hold that. Hold that in the case for a year.
Rhea
So July 26, 2023, is when Travis went on the podcast to talk about his, you know, failed attempt at seeing her.
Fran
What date?
Rhea
July 26th.
Fran
Oh, my birthday.
Rhea
Yes. And say one more. Say it again. July. What day?
Fran
What date was that?
Rhea
And then, like, they think late July, early August is when they are around the time when they, you know, started meeting up and going on there on. On dates and such. So really, it could have been. If it happened, like, at some point in August, maybe a significant. A significant date to the two of them.
Fran
Right. It was definitely after July 27th though. Right?
Rhea
For sure. Because of the haircut. That is the only cold, hard fact.
Fran
We have in this is the haircut is my.
Rhea
As he has short hair in this. So I saw people trying to zoom in on her nails. They were the same as they were on the podcast. But I could also see Taylor Swift getting, like, the same manicure many times.
Fran
In a row, right. In preparation that she might be getting proposed. So she's like, I gotta keep this manicure clean and cut, and it's gonna be the same thing every time.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah. I wonder maybe if we will find out when exactly it happened, but if. Whenever it happened, I'm so excited.
Fran
Whenever it happened, it doesn't matter. It did happen. And that's amazing.
Noah
What do you think about the caption?
Fran
I love it.
Rhea
I love it. I think it's just.
Fran
I think it's perfect. Perfect caption.
Rhea
It really describes that perfectly. It really is. So them and. And they are the English.
Fran
The caption teacher with the song so High School. It's like that made it all come together. The fact that she used her own song.
Rhea
Yeah, she's probably described her own. She's probably had that post drafted in her mind for a long time.
Fran
It's amazing. I mean, to think about all the songs that she's written about not being chosen and, you know, the. Her partner not choosing her or not and not being the person that they want to marry, whatever. And now it happens. She finds that guy and it all happens like, oh, my God, she deserves it all.
Noah
I just looked at the, like, count on Instagram.
Fran
It's like 12 million.
Noah
13 million right now. It's been up for two hours.
Rhea
13, you say?
Fran
Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow. Do you think it'll be like, use.
Noah
The likes at that?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Do you think it'll be like the most liked Instagram post will.
Noah
Yeah, 13 million in two hours.
Rhea
The most liked post Isn't it still the egg?
Noah
No, I think the egg got beat. Isn't it like Chris Ronaldo or something?
Rhea
Oh, is it Ronaldo or.
Noah
It might be like Messi or. Most.
Rhea
Do a quick search, because I bet you Ronaldo also just announced his.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Lionel Messi. Celebrating the FIFA World cup trophy. 75 million likes.
Rhea
75 million.
Noah
That's almost. I don't. I need to, like, see that.
Fran
I gotta see that with my own eyes.
Rhea
When was that posted?
Noah
That was 2022.
Rhea
Oh, 2022.
Noah
75 million likes.
Fran
Gotta go.
Noah
Yeah, it's correct. You're not gonna like it. 75.1.
Rhea
75.
Fran
Thank God.
Rhea
Million.
Noah
These soccer guys.
Rhea
They really do. They really do. That's. That's.
Noah
I mean, she could still beat at 13 in two hours. Like.
Rhea
No, it's. And it'll be climbing for sure. It'll be.
Noah
Imagine if she married a soccer player. We could have. No, we could have gotten more likes.
Rhea
It would be. It would be a lot of likes.
Fran
It would be. But that's not.
Rhea
The English teacher and the gym teacher. It's the perfect combination. Perfect song, perfect post.
Fran
It really was.
Rhea
Besides her not including the date that it happened.
Fran
We want to know when it happened. But you know what? If they want to keep that private, they deserve to keep something private.
Rhea
All right. You think it'll be his last season?
Fran
Yeah. You think I wrote that in the chat. I said.
Rhea
Which is why I'm asking to say it.
Fran
Yeah, you. You teed me up for that one. I do. I think Travis Kelce will be retiring after this season. Coming from the football expert.
Rhea
You heard it here first. I checked the.
Fran
I did my first football fantasy draft last night, so.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah, I did.
Noah
If they win.
Fran
Not that it really matters, but my team is ranked number one right now. I know that usually that matter. My first pick was Saquon Barkley.
Noah
Oh, wow.
Fran
Yeah. I did it for my girl.
Noah
I really wanted to take Saquon. What pick number did you have?
Fran
For the fact that Saquon didn't go before then? Was a little.
Rhea
Yeah, there was some. I will say not to point fingers at some of the. There. So there's a questionable decision by one of the ladies.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
That led to it. No, no, no. She was just telling me about it. She filled me in and she was like, this happened. And I was like, what? But anyway, no, I could definitely see. I mean, what a way to wrap it all up, man.
Fran
If she.
Rhea
If she plays, she does the super bowl halftime show. It's his last season and Then they just ride off into the sunset to go get married.
Fran
Amazing.
Rhea
I'm like, guffawn.
Fran
What do you think? Spring wedding or summer wedding? Or like.
Rhea
No, like, edge.
Fran
Like spring right into summer.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Maybe it will have to be. Look such a significant date.
Rhea
They could really do any time. I know. We got to really start looking at the calendar because, like, picking dates that would add up to be the right number, you know?
Fran
Right. Like, we know that this date is going to be.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
So very specific.
Rhea
So even if we think, like, 20.
Fran
2013 will be involved.
Rhea
2026. I mean, 2026 is half is double 13. So.
Fran
Wow.
Rhea
You know, what is like two 13s is 26.
Fran
Oh, the year 26. Okay. Okay. Sorry. I was like, are there.
Rhea
Are there any. Do you know that.
Fran
You know, Please don't. Not in the mood today, Francesca.
Rhea
Oh, man. Let's see if we have any January. February 13th is a Friday. No, March 13th is a Friday, Fran.
Fran
Like, I don't think that April. Like, we just talked about this. I don't think they're so specific about having to get married, like, on a Friday. Saturday, June 13th. June 13th is a Saturday.
Rhea
June 13th, 2026.
Noah
Because, like, all the people who have to go to the wedding, like, they can't just go on a Wednesday.
Fran
What do you mean? Like, the people that go to their wedding are going to take off whatever day. I know.
Rhea
Whatever that.
Fran
I know somebody getting married next Wednesday in Italy. That's what people do when they get married. Like, or, like, not always.
Rhea
Okay, well, I'm just saying June 13th is a Saturday.
Fran
That's very probable.
Rhea
6, 13, 26.
Fran
I'm going to say that's actually a really great wedding date, in my personal opinion, for, like, the weather and stuff.
Rhea
I wonder where they'll choose, though. Like, maybe they'll do her. Like, the Christmas tree farm. Yeah. Or around her beautiful state in Rhode Island.
Fran
Oh, a beautiful Rhode island wedding.
Rhea
Yeah. What will they do? I can't put my.
Fran
I can't even how big.
Rhea
I'm just. I am all over.
Fran
I think I'm all over the big. I don't.
Rhea
All over the board.
Fran
I don't even think it'll be intimate.
Rhea
But it's like, how does Taylor Swift even get married? You know? Like, how does she even have a wedding?
Fran
Can you imagine?
Rhea
That's not, like, the security.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
The planning.
Fran
Can you.
Rhea
The protection.
Fran
The amount of designers that are reaching out right now wanting to be the one to design her dress.
Rhea
That's what I'm saying.
Fran
Will she be Getting married in the U.S. will she?
Rhea
Could it be abroad?
Fran
Abroad? You know, an international.
Rhea
Maybe she elopes. No, she's not gonna elope. Her.
Fran
Come on.
Rhea
But with just family. Just family.
Fran
Come on. She's not eloping.
Rhea
No, she's not eloping.
Fran
She could have been dreaming of her.
Rhea
Wedding day, but like, is she gonna have this big blowout, like 300 people, stunning, gorgeous wedding.
Noah
I'm just picturing all the football players like that are gonna be at this now. It's so funny.
Fran
Come on.
Rhea
There's family friendly people that kiss, right? Maybe Travis has a of his wedding, you know?
Fran
Yeah, they. I feel like they're such family friendly friends people that they can't leave somebody out of their wedding, you know, like that's how much people mean to them.
Rhea
Well then what about like Santa Barbara?
Fran
Well, here's the thing.
Noah
Pride.
Fran
Well, now Selena and Benny are getting married. So when are they getting right.
Rhea
Right, right there. Oh, they're getting married.
Fran
But Selena just went on her bachelorette party.
Rhea
2026.
Fran
It was Taylor on that she was getting engaged.
Noah
She didn't go on the bachelorette party.
Fran
I don't know Selena. I don't know if Taylor was on the bachelorette party. I think she was getting engaged because apparently Selena just was seen getting off a plane where an S and bachelorette.
Rhea
Party on yacht in Cabo.
Fran
That's epic. Bachelorette party.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
Taylor, I'm gonna marry you.
Rhea
Oh, that's funny. Well, you would think if she's having her bachelorette now that it would be soon. Soonish.
Fran
Yeah, you know, soon.
Rhea
Ish.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
There's plenty of time for Taylor get married next summer.
Fran
Plenty of time. I saw Matt.
Rhea
It's obviously gonna be after the football season.
Fran
I saw Madeline White make a tick tock being like all the brides of 26. 26 brides now like worried like if they're getting married the same weekend as Taylor Swift. Or like trying to figure out if they're getting married the same weekend. Taylor Swift.
Rhea
So true.

Rhea
August 7th is a Friday. 87 Travis's number.
Noah
You think it'd be that soon?
Rhea
No, no, no. I'm talking about 22.
Fran
And they were both born in the year 87.
Noah
No, I mean, I'm saying that seems kind of soon. No, like this summer.
Rhea
No, it's a year.
Fran
A year away.
Noah
Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah, I guess it's a year away.
Fran
Please.
Rhea
They can play like celebrities. They plan this Taylor Swift, whatever. She decides she wants to get married. It's not like she can get. You know, she can.
Fran
I can't see them waiting till 27. No, I don't think it's. Because, like you said, add up the.
Noah
13, you might think, like, she's like. Seems like a fall person.
Rhea
She does to me. I. Yeah, she could be September.
Fran
She could. It could almost be a December wedding on the Christmas tree farm. We don't know.
Rhea
We could.
Noah
That would be.
Rhea
I could see her maybe doing that, too.
Noah
Do you think she really.
Rhea
I just don't know. I just don't know what she wants, you know?
Fran
We don't.
Rhea
She's like the friend that she's the friend that could go in any direction.
Fran
Right?
Rhea
No. Do you have a friend that's like, hey, I may do my bachelorette in, like, Panama City, or I may do, like, Vegas. And you're like, okay, those are two really opposite ideas.
Fran
We don't know anything about her bridal era just yet. We will find out. But going into this season, I texted this as well. Going into the football season as, like, fiance. Like, fiance football season. Being at the games. Like, yeah, I'm his fiance. We're getting married. Like, yeah, Perfect.
Noah
Brittany.
Fran
What a dream.
Noah
Maid of honor.
Rhea
Oh, my God.
Fran
No, please. Oh, also, people kept trying to be like, she announced this on Blake Lively's birthday. No, she didn't. Blake Lively's birthday was on Monday.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Do a quick Google search for me one time.
Rhea
Yeah. Everyone realizes. Close. She actually did it. She posted on John Mariana's birthday. Way more of a big deal.
Fran
Up taking his shot.
Rhea
Way more of a big deal.
Fran
No, but people were like, a Blake Lively's birthday. Like, all of a sudden, this narrative is fun. It's like, just do, like, look it up. Like, it's not her birthday.
Rhea
Yeah. It's not her birthday. After one day later, she let her have her birthday and said, I'm not waiting one more second.
Fran
Yeah. And I'm not waiting a single second more, Blake.
Noah
Because Jason. Kelsey will obviously be best man.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
So who would be the maid of honor?
Rhea
I mean, Travis has. Taylor has some very close friends.
Fran
Best friends. You know, one of them. It's gonna be hard.
Rhea
She's had life. She has lifelong friends, you know?
Fran
It's gonna be a hard pick.
Rhea
It will.
Noah
Yeah.
Rhea
But I feel like it could be somebody that, like, I feel like it could be her mom. Like, I know that sounds. Yeah.
Fran
I don't. Yeah.
Rhea
You know?
Fran
Yeah. Like, I can't see her.
Rhea
I could see her doing that.
Fran
I could see her having her mom and her dad walk her down the aisle.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Okay.
Rhea
What?
Fran
This is, like, now I'm freaking myself out. Like, why do I.
Rhea
Why am I. You're envisioning every day. No, I'm with you.
Fran
I feel like I sound like a crazy person.
Rhea
No, I mean, I'm, like, I'm planning. I'm thinking in my head, like, what. What's her color scheme gonna be? You know?
Fran
She's obviously gonna keep the bangs.
Rhea
Yeah. How many dresses?
Fran
Red lip and bangs.
Rhea
How many dresses? Do you think she'll do a red lip for her on her wedding day, though?
Fran
I do.
Rhea
You do?
Fran
I do think she'll do A red lip on her wedding day.
Rhea
I kind of hope she doesn't.
Fran
I think she will. I think she'll do a red lip. I. I see her in a big gown, like, princess gown, and maybe one dress change. I don't. I don't see Taylor changing multiple times. Like three times or four times. I don't know. I don't know. I'm just making guesses here.
Rhea
We're totally. We're just talking out of the asshole right now.
Fran
Not my. Specifically my.
Rhea
Yeah, because every time you say one thing, I'm like, oh, maybe. I'm like, I don't know.
Fran
We have no clue. We really have no idea.
Rhea
All we've done for the last 15 minutes is throw out ideas and then give the opposite idea and be like, could be. Could be.
Fran
It literally could be anything. Could. But that's fun. Enjoying this?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And now we get to black tie.
Rhea
It's gonna be black tie.
Fran
Yeah. And the after party is gonna be epic.
Rhea
Yeah. I think she'll sing herself at her own wedding now. She'll have somebody else sing.
Fran
Nah, I think she'll have somebody else sing.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
Do you think you know anyone directly that would be going to this wedding? How many degrees away?
Fran
I think we would have somebody, like, at least one degree away, but not somebody directly.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
Not like friends or like two degrees.
Rhea
I mean, I have DMed. Kylie, Kelsey. She'll be at that wedding.
Noah
Oh, she'll be at the wedding.
Fran
Oh, yeah.
Rhea
Kylie Kelce.
Fran
She follows us.
Noah
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rhea
You know, we're not. Not friends by any means.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
I've never met her in real life.
Fran
Kylie Kelsey knows us, and we. And we know her.
Rhea
Exactly. So that's Kylie Kelsey is aware that we exist, which is more than we can say about.
Fran
Right. For sure. For sure. You know? Oh, my God.
Rhea
And that's in the. That's in the family.
Fran
Will they be flower girls?
Rhea
Oh, 100.
Fran
Oh. But what about Blake's? I don't. We'll find out when the album comes out, I guess.
Rhea
Yeah. I mean, Travis's nieces are gonna get. We'll get, obviously, precedence. For sure.
Fran
For sure.
Rhea
Oh, they'll be so cute.
Fran
That's gonna be. Oh, my God.
Rhea
They're all their little dresses. Maybe they'll walk one of the cats down the aisle.
Fran
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The cats will definitely be involved.
Rhea
Cats have to be involved at her wedding. I just asked.
Noah
Sorry, when did you ask that?
Fran
I invited him two minutes ago.
Rhea
Just Rio went, nah. And I went. We went, no. Yeah. I Don't think she'll perform at the wedding.
Noah
Oh, I thought because, like, if they have a band, like, she'll definitely go for like one song.
Fran
I was like, maybe she'll have somebody else perform.
Rhea
Yeah, we thought. We said maybe somebody else. I think she's off duty.
Fran
At her own wedding.
Rhea
At her own wedding. Yeah, she probably was. Unless the moment comes up where she gets a little tipsy.
Fran
Yeah. It wants to start screaming.
Rhea
Gets up there and wants to sing Love Story.
Fran
You know, Love Story's a classic.
Noah
Love Story is a classic with Paul McCarney. Like, I could see those types of people performing.
Fran
Oh my God.
Rhea
Paul McCarney plays guitar as he walks down the aisle.
Fran
Oh, wow.
Rhea
Holy wow. I hope she's taking notes, cuz we're coming up with some good ideas.
Fran
You better be listening, honey.
Rhea
We're coming up with some good ideas. Yeah, I can see you're getting a little tipsy. They reenact all of Love Story on the dance floor for sure.
Fran
Taylor gets down on one knee again. They're like, remember when I did that, Travis? Sorry, Travis.
Rhea
Taylor could do it too.
Fran
Exactly. Definitely. If they're. If they're tipsy enough. Jason will obviously be slamming beers against his head with his shirt off. Like Jason's gonna have.
Rhea
Jason's a good best man.
Fran
He's gonna have an amazing best man. Best man speech. He's gonna be amazing best man. But then towards the end of the night, the shirt will be off.
Rhea
No, for sure.
Fran
Against the head.
Rhea
They'll be making lots. He's the. He's the best man. Where he's like, ah. My wife said, I. I can't. I've got to be good before my speech.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Rhea
Gotta be good before my stage.
Fran
And then he'll end it by like chugging.
Rhea
Yeah. And then they'll have a. They'll. They'll just garage beer for everyone.
Fran
And then maybe a garage beer fountain, you know? Right. Maybe Jason will jump through a table at the after party. Like, there's so many characters in this.
Rhea
Maybe they'll get married on Lake Como they like.
Fran
Yeah, maybe. But you know, it's kind of sceney right now.
Rhea
Here's the problem. They're not gonna really find anywhere that's going to be able to give them the protection that they want. Unless they fully go somewhere inside, which I guess is possible, but anything that has any indoor outdoor element. I mean, the choppers will be overhead.
Fran
Listen. They will be protected.
Rhea
Yeah, they'll. They'll figure out a way to do it for sure. But you like, they. They. The planning on how to keep this on lockdown.
Noah
Tree is like. Is fully booked for the next.
Rhea
Oh, my God.
Fran
Oh, my God.
Rhea
Think about the NDAs that these vendors probably have to sign. Holy shit.
Fran
Locked.
Rhea
You know who should do her makeup?
Fran
Haley Joy Page. Yeah. Taylor, if you need a. A makeup artist.
Rhea
Taylor, if you get married in Rhode Island. We got the girl for you.
Fran
Just call Haley up.
Rhea
We got the girl for you. Ugh.
Fran
Let's manifest.
Rhea
Yeah, Seriously. But, yeah, that's where I'm like, you know, that's. That's. Could that be the direction? I don't know. But I'm saying vendors. Like, she calls to. You know, she calls vendors, florists, cater, whatever. It's like, right. By the way, this is an inquiry. They probably use a code name.
Fran
Getting that invite.
Rhea
Getting that invite in the mail.
Fran
Oh, my gosh.
Rhea
Hopefully nobody. Ramona Singer is this bad boy.
Fran
Yeah. I feel like maybe they would send like.
Rhea
An Evite.
Fran
No, no. Just. Okay, well, then horror. No, no, no.
Rhea
Taylor Swift's gonna hand write her fucking invitations.
Fran
Yes, but they're going to have to be hand delivered. Like, they will not be thrown in the US Postal mail.
Rhea
Men in tuxedos are going to show up at your door with white gloves and present the envelope to you at your door.
Fran
Right?
Noah
Like 10 minutes.
Fran
They're not.
Rhea
Because people, they'll commit a felony to open those envelopes for sure.
Fran
That's what I'm saying. Like, this cannot be just thrown into the regular mail at your blue box. Like, you know that can't. They can't do that.
Rhea
I've really never thought this in depth about how celebrities get married. And now I'm like, what are. What do these people do?
Fran
They send evites. They send texts.
Rhea
Like, really now? I'm like, they just call their friends up and be like, hey, save the date. Like, because this is a secure line, right?
Fran
Like. Like, because if that invite gets lost in the mail, that's a disaster.
Rhea
Lost the mail. Or literally, like, I would not put it past that post postal service man or a woman to steal the bite to see that return.
Fran
Return address. Right? They can't do that.
Rhea
No, they can't.
Fran
They can't. So this is, like, got to be a top secret.
Rhea
No. It must all be abso. Like smoke and mirrors for everything, right? Yeah. They can't put an invite in the mail.
Fran
No. That's why you laughed at me when I said he fight.
Rhea
But they can't be sitting.
Fran
No, they're not sending Evites either. Remember when Bezos on that Evite?
Rhea
Yeah. No. No, no, no.
Fran
That can't be.
Rhea
No. Wow. My. My mind is racing.
Fran
I know there's something.
Rhea
It's actually racing right now of the.
Fran
Thoughts and we want more details of.
Rhea
What'S going to happen.
Fran
But listen, we're going to be patient. We're just gonna let them enjoy their engagement. Error.
Rhea
Yeah. They're gonna have a great time that it's so fun.
Fran
So like, let's not. Let's not put pressure on the two kids just yet.
Rhea
Yeah. I will say though, like, I do hope and this is big of me to say credit to me.
Fran
Okay.
Rhea
I do. I do hope the Chiefs do well.
Fran
Wow.
Rhea
For the sake of their.
Fran
That is big of you.
Rhea
It is.
Noah
For the sake of their relationship.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Like they're. They're living on such a high right now. I feel engaged.
Noah
I feel like if I'm having a.
Rhea
Great time, like imagine Travis just lays a egg for the first. You know.
Fran
Right. But at the same time it's like, you know what? He had his time. He's still great.
Noah
I don't think he cares at all. Like, I think it's like, obviously he wants to win, but.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think if he comes out and stinks on ice, he's gonna care.
Fran
I heard rumors that he's been poopy pants or he's going to be poopy pants.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
I mean he's.
Rhea
Well, he kind of started off poopy pants last season. Exactly. So.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And it got better, obviously. But was not, you know, wasn't like a record breaking year by any means. It's definitely possible. Of course. Like, I just think they're living on such a high that I just want them to keep having wins. I just, you know, I just want them to keep winning through the. Through the season. If it gets down to the end, I will root for their demise. But like I, you know, early on. Early on, sure. Why did I just get a vision of Travis and Taylor having a wedding a la Bella and Edward Cullen, like in the forest?
Fran
I could totally see that. Right? Enchanted. I was enchanted to meet you.
Rhea
Gosh. You know, she. That really. That's like a first dance song for so many people. You think they'll have their. You think they'll first. Oh, that's a good question. They'll first dance to their own. To one of Taylor songs.
Fran
No, no. She's such a lover of music and art that there's definitely other songs out there she loves.
Rhea
Although them dancing Is so high. They'll. They will dance to so high school.
Fran
They will. For sure. That won't be.
Rhea
They must.
Noah
It would be objectively kind of weird, I feel like, to have your first.
Rhea
Dance pizza be your own song.
Fran
Yeah, I agree with that for sure.
Rhea
But if it's a song like you.
Fran
Wrote about your husband or what about.
Noah
Someone else performing a Taylor Swift song?
Rhea
That's interesting.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
Like, I don't think. I don't think their first dance song will be Taylor Swift.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
I think they will dance to a Taylor Swift song at some point, but I do not think their first dance will be Taylor Swift.
Rhea
I love how, like, delusional we all are already that I saw a story of someone, like, writing back to my friend Liz and being like, do you think Zoey's gonna bring Harry Styles to the wedding?
Fran
Oh, my God. What a good question.
Rhea
What a good question.
Fran
I didn't even.
Rhea
What an absolutely, like, ridiculous hypothetical. But let's sit with that one for a second.
Fran
I'm mad that I didn't even think of that. Wow. Wow.
Noah
They are dating for, like, a year and this next year.
Fran
Yeah. You, like, realistically, you would expect her to get married?
Rhea
I mean, they've been seen literally once.
Noah
But if they stay together.
Rhea
Y know, if they stay together, I think for sure is at Taylor Swift's wedding. Yeah.
Fran
Oh, full circle. Forget the person they killed in their car crash.
Rhea
It's all water. Water under the bridge now.
Fran
Damn, man.
Rhea
Man. Yeah.
Fran
All right, well, congratulations. Two of them. Wow. What a. What a day.
Rhea
What a day.
Fran
Everyone can bask in excitement, and everyone can bask in this joy. And just all the questions that we have.
Rhea
Wait, this is my last thought. Sorry, I'm cutting you off. Prefer my last thought, but because we're on a little bit of a break from New Heights right now. It is going to be so funny when they come back for week one. And it's like, Jason's like, so, Travis, new news. You got anything to say? Oh, yeah, new news. Like, it's like, I mean, the New heights Instagram, like, posted a story, like, new news with the. With the engagement post. But they. They'll be diving straight into football season because it's like, oh, week one previews. Talking about the games. Like, what's going on with the Chiefs? And then Jason's gonna have to be like, so you. You want to talk about getting engaged or, like, what? Like, what's. You excited?
Fran
That'll be nice.
Rhea
Like, there's gotta be some wedding.
Fran
Of course. Of course. It'll be.
Noah
That'd be funny if they just start talking about it, like, the kind of the way that you guys did about wedding planning. Just like every week.
Fran
Every week there's updates on the wedding planning.
Rhea
It's like half their episode is wedding planning, and then half is like, what's. What's good with NFL.
Fran
We should title this episode Taylor Swift's Engaged. Plus Adam Devina interview. Classic. All right, let's move on. But we're so, so, so happy. What an amazing announcement on this Tuesday afternoon. And listen, we're gonna be running with theories and questions and what she announced on 8.
Rhea
26. 26. Double the. It goes back to my. So maybe it was purposeful today.
Fran
You know, you're right. It's also Eldest Daughter Day. I thought I saw somebody say that. Yes. Let me double check. Because it's also the Blake Lively thing where people just throw out.
Rhea
Right, right.
Fran
False information.
Rhea
It is also, I think. I think National Dog Day.
Fran
But she's a cat person. It's Eldest Daughter Day. It is. It is August 26th, Eldest Daughter Day.
Noah
Why does that affect.
Fran
It's a new album.
Rhea
One, she's the one. She is the eldest daughter. And two, her. She has a song, and it's track five.
Fran
Yes.
Noah
She's the only daughter, right?
Rhea
No. Oh, oh, oh, no. Yes.
Noah
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
But she is the eldest sibling. But Eldest Daughter Day. And she has a song, track five, Eldest Daughter, coming out on her next album.
Rhea
It is also National Dog Day, if anybody cares. That has nothing to do. That has nothing to do with Taylor Swift. No, just.
Fran
She's a cat person.
Rhea
Just wanted to throw that in there, too.
Fran
Would have been sick if it was National Cat Day as well.
Rhea
Yeah. Really?
Fran
That would have been nice.
Rhea
That would have time to play around with the numbers. But we'll be watching very closely for any hints of any. Anything really. Anything at all.
Fran
And she said she doesn't leave Easter eg about her personal life. So I feel like.
Rhea
No, I don't think she will for the wedding at all. It's like, really for the music. But maybe when she's doing promo for the new album, she'll answer some questions.
Fran
Questions about when it happened, how it happened, the way it went down. It was a beautiful day. Flowers, the whole thing.
Rhea
Yeah. Maybe there'll be, like, a beautiful spread to accompany it.
Fran
Oh, yeah.
Rhea
Who knows?
Fran
Ah, love it.
Rhea

Fran
Moving on to something less exciting. Love island reunion was on Monday night. Snooze fest for two hours. I mean, it's the thing. This shit's got to be live.
Rhea
Yeah, it.
Fran
Because all this happened this past weekend and then we're watching, we're like, this is all outdated. I have to say, thank God Andy Cohen was a part of this, because Andy Cohen, if he knows anything, it's how to do a reunion. It's how to ask these people the questions. It's how to clock people. Like, he knows what he's doing. Ariana, obviously, great host as well.
Rhea
The good tag team.
Fran
Love to see them together. A little tag team reminds us of the good old days of Vanderpump Rules. But I don't think this cast was respecting who Andy Cohen was.
Rhea
No, no. If anything, disrespecting. There were some moments that I know some of the islanders did not like. I think specifically Huda had some issues with, with his line of questioning. Of course, people are like, obviously. And he doesn't watch every episode. It's like, yeah, I'm not surprised by that, you know, but it's not crazy for him to highlight when, you know, I think we were all thinking it in our heads when Hooda was like kind of brushing over. Everything is like, oh, you know, we're all good now. We're all in a good place. Like, good vibe. Like, I love you, girl. Like, it's all good. Like, whatever. And everyone's like, and she's like, I'm. I'm. I'm good now. Like, I learned so much. Whatever. I think everyone at home was probably thinking, it's only been a month. Like, really, you know, which is pretty fair, I think. She also didn't like that they were asking her a lot about a potential new relationship, which I gotta say, like, that's something that you. To make. To make up that she can't say something because of Netflix, which I really do think she just made that up.
Fran
Yeah. Because she's not. She doesn't have a Netflix with contract with Netflix. She could talk about whatever she wants. She's not signed to Netflix. Andy Cohen, when she said that she's done a lot of reflecting and working on herself in the month, and Andy Cohen was like, so you've. You've changed in a month. Like, you've. You've reflected for one month and now you're a changed person. Like, everybody's face was like, oh, but. But her saying that she couldn't answer questions about the relationship with Louis because Netflix, she was like, sorry, legal Netflix. You don't have a contract with Netflix. So this is Louie's contract with Netflix. You're not breaking anything by.
Rhea
You're not doing literally anything. And she posted on her, on Snapchat maybe or somewhere like right away too, afterwards that she wrote, I prefer to share details about my relationships on my own terms, not for a TV show. It has nothing to do with repeated pressure to open up. Especially. Especially when it's excessive. Makes me uncomfortable, and I'd appreciate if that could be respected. But you'll edit out the amount of times you asked and tried making others answer for me, I mean, I just really, like, you cannot possibly be mad about going out in public with a new guy that is also a public figure and be mad that they ask you about it on the reunion.
Fran
You went on the red carpet with him. You like, like, if you didn't go.
Rhea
Out and post her pictures with him out in public, sure. Maybe you're like, I want to keep this super private. But you're. You're not.
Voicemail Callers
Not.
Fran
Yeah. You're out in public with them everywhere.
Rhea
Yeah. And I. And like, I don't know. She's very. There's still so many ups and downs. She was very quick.
Fran
Love related show relationship.
Rhea
Completely relationship based. Completely relationship based.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Apparently there were some moments that were, like, explosive that they didn't put in. Most multiple cast members have alluded to them cutting out something that they were all really surprised that Got cut out. Who knows if we'll ever find out what that was.
Fran
I'm wondering what it is too. It seemed like there was something big that happened that just didn't get aired.
Rhea
Yeah, I'm not sure as if it was some other big. They obviously did show clips that we saw more of. Like, we saw the conversation when they sent home Hannah and we saw the conversation when they sent home Jeremiah, which I think was a lot of what Nick was talking about too, because in that conversation, Nick was, you know, sticking up for Jeremiah. A sense that, like, maybe he wasn't the one. And then he just kind of was like, look, look, it seems to be two against one here, so it's going to be Jeremiah. But we didn't get to see that whole clip. And also the extended version of the heart rate challenge where, you know, those cheeks were in Ace's face.
Fran
I want to know why Ace was not questioned. Because Ace looked like he was thoroughly enjoying what was going on with Huda in that whole thing.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
He was making out with her. He was looking at her with these eyes. He was grabbing her ass, looking like he was about to eat it. Why did nobody question how Ace was very much thoroughly enjoying what was happening with Huda there? No, I think, you know, you know, they could say Huda, like, took it too far or whatever she did, but Ace was so into it. So why was there no line of questioning for Ace being like, you literally grabbed her ass when she was shaking in front of your face. Face, you know?
Rhea
Yeah, Look, I think right now everyone on the show is very, like, looking out for number one, which is so fair. It's like they're very focused on their worlds and what's being and what's being said. You know, Ace brought up a tick tock that Amaya made with Alex Cooper. Like, just like, little things. I was like, is that, does that need to be discussed right now? You know, I feel like there was probably so many, so many other things. And it was the same with. Same with Huda, like, obviously talking about everything that she went through and saying, oh, maybe using like, the word bullying was not the, the right word to use. And she didn't name names, which ended up kind of being more harmful than naming names. And it broke my heart to watch Alandria talk to her because they were supposed to be very close. And like, just, for example, could have went on social media pretty quick to be like, hey, like, I don't like when people talk about my. Like, I don't want to. I Don't want to talk about my relationship.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Meanwhile, Alandria is getting these heinous, disgusting, racist messages and things sent to her, and she's asking her friend to like, hey, can you please just say something about this? And she didn't.
Fran
And Huda said that she was going to make a post about it, and that's all Alandria wanted. And Huda didn't do that. You know, she spoke about it on a podcast, she said. But, like, she didn't go ahead and make that post that she promised Alandria she would do, which rightfully, Alandria is hurt by.
Rhea
Yeah, Abs, absolutely. I think that that's like, when you're in that position and you're reaching out to a friend to try and help you, and it's something that. That feels pretty clear cut to condemn. Like, pretty easy to. To put that up on your story and be like, hey, guys, this is absolutely wrong. And not. And not doing that. So I don't know the clear. I don't think, like, that. That seems to be probably a friendship that will just veer in different directions. I felt that way with Huda for a lot of them. I think I saw that Nick unfollowed her on Instagram now too.
Fran
Right. But also Shelly and Hood as well.
Rhea
Yeah, Yeah. I think that's. That's just the way it goes. Shelly and Ace seem like they're in a great place in their relationship. Not official official, but they are in love. So they, they, you know, they seem like they're in a great place, which I'm happy to see them in a good place. It's just tough with the other couples, like we said, even in the. Whatever. What is it, 10 days too, like, that they had in between here. This, all this with Iris and Pepe went down. Maya and Brian and followed each other. So Even, like, the 20 minutes that we spent on those two couples, it's basically in the trash now because it's like everything changed.
Fran
I thought Jeremiah came out of this reunion looking great.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I thought Jeremiah spoke really well and defended himself well.
Rhea
You know, he really reminds me of Kendall.
Fran
Really?
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
It's not a compliment.
Rhea
No. And, like, the sense that I feel.
Fran
Like, oh, I don't get that at all.
Rhea
That they're both like, fun guys that want to be on social media now, too. Like, I just. Maybe it's just because I see Jeremiah on TikTok live now all the time.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
I'm like, it's giving me Kendall vibes of, like, Kendall just always being on social media show.
Fran
Yeah. I, huh.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I didn't get that.
Rhea
And like, friends with every, like, I feel like Kendall's kind of like friends.
Fran
In the aspect of being friendly with everybody in that sort of like, like friendly with everyone.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Or that. But in the way that they like, compose themselves. I feel like it's.
Rhea
And like the guy, like the girls are all friends with him.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah. You know, I opened up Tick Tock last night. Jeremiah's on Tick Tock Live with Iris and Hannah. You know, I was like, oh, this is Kendall with Liv and Kayla. Yeah. You know.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
But yeah, no, I, I don't.
Noah
It does feel like he's way less involved. Like he doesn't want to be involved in drama, whereas Kendall, I feel like, is like, like soaking it in when, like whenever there's drama.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
I just want to hang out. Like.
Fran
Yeah, I, I, Yeah, maybe I just.
Rhea
That was like a throwaway thought, you know, I really thought about that for like two seconds before I said it. But I just feel like, like coming out of the show single and.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Obviously now you're. They'll. I think they'll be pursuing that, that social media for sure lifestyle.
Fran
If I see Kendall wear that labubu around his neck one more time.
Rhea
Oh, he's wearing it around his neck.
Fran
Oh, my God. He's wearing the labubu like a chain. Oh, I haven't even seen this. Maybe that's why I'm like, I'm like, no, no, no, he's not wearing a labubu around his, around his neck like a chain everywhere he goes.
Rhea
I have not seen that.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah. I mean, it seems like, clear that, you know, Austin still probably isn't going to get along with some of these guys.
Fran
I mean, really, some tough, like. Austin, are you there?
Rhea
Yeah, you know, he was. What's crazy is like, are you paying attention or.
Fran
I know what's going on.
Rhea
I know. I don't know how they films that from like, what are they saying? 7.30am to like 11.30pm they were there all day long doing this and we got a two hour cut that, like, still wasn't that exciting, you know. Right. Like, I'm just still kind of confused by how you feel for that long.
Fran
But don't have, like.
Rhea
Yeah. I don't know why. I don't know if it's just because there's so many people and so many things happen during the season because it's, you know, so many episodes that when you sit down for a reunion a month later, it doesn't have that same kick, you know, maybe. Cause it's like, even when they. Maybe when they are even talking about stuff that happened earlier in the season, there's so much to talk about, but is that necessarily making the cut? Because the audience is, like, over all that and everything that happened then. So that's, you know, that's a big part of it. But it's. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy because it's like these couples, you know, like I said, those couples are not. Are not doing right. But Nick and Alandria seem like they're in a great place, and Ace and Shelly seem like they're in a great place.
Fran
I'm so happy for. For the both of them right now because, wow, those other couples really took a dive.
Rhea
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Alandria looked. I mean, the two of them really just, like, so stunning. It was insane. I. The. The coordinating. The coordinating outfit, I thought was really. They looked really great.
Fran
They.
Rhea
Lark looked incredible as well.
Fran
They all really stood out in a sea of some bad outfits.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
You know?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Like, they looked great, but there was some. There were some Mrs. In that car.
Rhea
Clark's dress was stunning too. I was, like, blown away. I was. And then, like, I think this is maybe one of the last thoughts I wanted to make, but I was cracking up when they were like, all right, guys, you all thought Ciara was screaming about getting kicked off during. During one of Alandria's interviews. You all thought you heard someone screaming in the background. Let's. Let's show you what really was making that sound. And it was just Huda and Iris in the dressing room screaming, who says? By Selena Gomez at the top of their lungs.
Fran
Relatable.
Rhea
Like, who says? Who says you're not perfect? And it just sound like someone screaming.
Fran
I thought it was a relatable moment. I'm like, you know what? They're just singing their hearts out. They got no music or entertainment. They're entertaining themselves.
Rhea
Production really must have had a giggle at that being, like, seeing that going viral. Like, oh, my God, Sierra's screaming about being dragged out of the villain. It's literally just them. Them singing slam dummies at the top of their lives in the dressing room, but, yeah. Any other thoughts?
Fran
No, I really didn't have many thoughts while watching, and I was like, oh, I'm a little bit bored. That's. That was really my thought while watching this reunion.
Rhea
Yeah. It just sucks when you have two massive things happen with two of the couples. And it's like everything else Feels less important, right?
Fran
I couldn't even look at Pepe when they showed his face.
Rhea
I was like, yeah, yeah.
Fran
You know, I just was like, oh, my God.
Rhea
It's like you're.
Fran
You.
Rhea
You can't even. Iris and Pepe, you're watching them and hearing them talk, and you're just like, now we're just wasting time on this, right? Them being like, oh, we're exclusive, or blah, blah, blah, dating and having fun. It's like, okay, well, not anymore, right?
Fran
Clearly not anymore. And, yeah, that was really it.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
Not really. Not really much else. And that's a wrap on. On the season seven and then Love Island Games they announced is coming out in September, so we'll get on up.
Rhea
It's crazy. Gonna be a quick turnaround for a lot of these season seven cast members will. Because, sure, there'll be plenty, I think, that'll end up on. On Love Island Games.
Fran
Absolutely.
Rhea
They'll be going right back to Fiji.
Fran
Yeah. All right, that wraps up the topics.
Rhea

Fran
All right, let's get into the Popcorner, where we're going to take your voicemails, your hot takes, your opinions. Let's get into it. Noah, play the first voicemail.
Voicemail Callers
Hey, Rhea, Fran and Noah, this is Rory from Wilmington, North Carolina, and I am calling about the summer I turned pretty. I cannot stop thinking about what Christopher Briney, who plays Conrad and Gavin, not even going to try to say his last name, who plays Jeremiah, what their significant others are thinking. During season three of the summer, I turn pretty. Like, if I was Christopher Briney's girlfriend, I would be walking around the house singing the we love you, Kevin Rat.
Rhea
From Bye Bye Birdie.
Voicemail Callers
All the fucking time. And if I was Gavin's wife, I would be like, let me see your credit score right now. Like, Like, I can't even imagine being their significant others right now and what they are thinking week by week when these episodes come out. So I need to know your opinion on what you think they're thinking. Okay. Thanks, guys. Hope you have the best time in Disney. Bye.
Rhea
Dare you. Dare I say they don't care.
Fran
I was just going to say, like, they know these people better than anybody else.
Rhea
I think it probably pisses them the fuck off in both ways. Well, I feel like, like, like, like Gavin put out a statement the other. Like, I don't. It wasn't even a statement. It just like, went viral of, like, Gavin speaks on his character this season, yada, yada. Like, I saw it all over Social and it was just him being like, yeah, once again, reminder, I. I'm not him.
Fran
Like, right? Yeah. He has to keep reminding people that he is not.
Rhea
Yeah, like, once again, reminder, I am not Jeremiah.
Fran
I feel like, like they know the them better than anybody else does. So, like, they're not going to be questioning. Like, Gavin's wife isn't looking at Gavin being like, oh, you like Jeremiah. Like, she's probably frustrated that people think he's like Jeremiah. And then on the other.
Rhea
On the other side, she probably does love Conrad. Who doesn't?
Fran
Yeah, like, she's probably like, you know, rooting for Conrad. But then Conrad, that Chris Briney's girlfriend is probably just like, you know, happy that everybody, like, I. I would be like, oh, my God, I love that everybody loves you.
Rhea
I wonder if they even watch. You know, I know that may be crazy, but, like, I could also see them just like, not watch or they.
Fran
Watch and say, oh, my God, you deserve an Oscar for that.
Rhea
Right. So true.
Fran
You know what I mean? Like, you're such an incredible actor. Yeah, because we're not, like, they're not very intimate with another girl, so I can't see, like, why, you know, I can't see them being, like, mad or jealous or anything.
Rhea
Right, right, right.
Fran
You know what I mean?
Rhea
I mean, there are sex scenes.
Fran
There are, there are. But it's not like every episode they're making out and having sex.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Like, it's not so raunchy like that.
Rhea
No, no, no.
Fran
For sure, for sure that I'd imagine that.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
They're just like, you know, on one hand, Gavin's wife is probably like, oh, my God, can people stop thinking my husband's exactly Like Jeremiah.
Rhea
Yeah, I bet you she doesn't watch.
Fran
And then Chris Briney's girlfriend's like, haha. I begged Conrad.
Rhea
Yeah, they're. I think that they're, you know, they're obviously Gavin and his wife are still pretty young and I think they're like, you know, traveling the world and doing all these things and I feel like every time I go see him post on Instagram, they're somewhere in the middle of nowhere kind of thing. So I feel like they probably disconnect from the show completely.
Fran
Yeah. Escaping from whatever. From the discord.
Rhea
That would really be my.
Fran
Kind of hard to escape.
Rhea
But it is hard to escape. But my guess is that they're not watching week to week. Like, can't wait to watch the next episode.
Fran
Right. They've actually probably seen it all.
Rhea
Yeah. Either that or they're just like, you know, disassociate. This is the last season. We're done with this.
Fran
We'll get through this soon, babe.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
All right, moving on.
Voicemail Callers
Hey guys, it's Madison from Saratoga. I just want to know. I'm on the Jonas Brothers kick right now because they are coming to Stack this weekend and I am going. My question is the song Love Bug. Now, Fran, I know that is your favorite song and trust me, I'm a lover of that song too. But does the beginning credit of them talking in the background and at the end, does that just bother you? I feel like why did they not have such a beautiful, low key, romantic, sweet song with like adding their weird dialogue in the background? I don't know. It always throws me off. I still love the song, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on what you think about it.
Rhea
You know, it's never bothered me because I also feel like it's such a nod to the era that they made that song and them like joking around, having fun in the. In the studio and coming up with that song together. That I feel like it is. It's such a great song. And then that just adds like a little. A little haha moment to it. Like it really doesn't, you know, and it's so quick.
Fran
I've never even thought about it.
Noah
I just saw a clip of, I think Nick saying like he was shocked that they let them keep that in that.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree. I did see so many tick tocks from girls at the she Said Saratoga at the Saratoga show because it was like Boston was the night before and there were so many things that they did, obviously for Fenway. And then Saratoga they were all like. They sang Toothbrush like, twice by accident. Like, is that. Is that our surprise?
Fran
Surprise. You had the same song twice.
Rhea
What's. What's. You know, what's going on? Which is tough. I do think, like, for bigger market cities, they're obviously. And it's easier to get people to show up for those. For. For those big, like, absolutely big shows. But I did see a lot of tik toks of, like, girls making jokes from the. From. From that show. Another clip from that from Married to Jonas is going viral. Have you been seeing that?
Fran
Yes. He's like, I just don't sing, like.
Rhea
Like, Nick and Joe.
Fran
Yes, I did. I did see that.
Rhea
Daniel's like, but you're still. You still sound good.
Fran
And he's like, I'm singing, and I just don't know if I'm doing good jobs. They're not saying anything. And she's like, well, they would tell you if you're bad.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, God, Kevin. So happy for him. You know, Love Bug's a perfect song that I will never. And it's. It's like she said, you know, like, that is my favorites. Like, I can't even really find any.
Fran
Very fair.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
John Mayer loved it. Liked it so much that he made his own song.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah. I think it also, like, the beginning in the end really takes me back to how I felt the first time hearing the song, because as a teenager, like, when that came out, I thought it was so funny that they did that. That I was like. I was like, oh, my God, these guys are so talented and so funny. Like, they just, you know, like, oh, my God, they're having so much fun with their songs.
Noah
They really are funny, though. Like, the one that they made the other day where. Yeah, that was really funny.
Fran
I was like, that was good. Hey, they were doing this at the beginning. You know, they were on YouTube and.
Rhea
They were tick tock bag, right?
Fran
Like, he's, like, making.
Rhea
They're very well produced. Like, he's, like, in a video game. I'm like, who's making these?
Noah
For someone Zoomed in, I guess that Nick was, like, filming one of them, and you could see him, like, in the mirror. And they're like, Nick's done with this, like, making TikToks. He's just like, like, deadpan.
Rhea
No, I know. I thought that was very funny. Yeah, no, that's. They're definitely putting a lot of their stuff out there right now, and it is. It is very funny.
Voicemail Callers
Hi, all. This is Kelsey Penny from Michigan. I just saw that y' all went to Disney and we are big Disney goers in our family. So my question is, which Disney princess would survive best if she was dropped into the Kardashians world? Another question that I had been wondering too, is, is do you think Disney adults are the same kind of energy as Swifties or are we a completely different species? I thought in honor of your Disney vacation, you guys would want to rip off some more on Disney. Happy Monday. Look forward to seeing you guys soon. Bye.
Rhea
Thank you so much. Two fantastic questions. I do think Disney adults are their own special breed. I don't really think you can compare anything to a Disney adult breed.
Fran
I fully agree with that. I think being a Disney adult adult, you know, really takes a one of a kind human being to be.
Rhea
I guess you can relate it to, like, the passion of a Swifty. Like, you know, like the past.
Fran
They're very passionate, but I just can't.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Relate.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
I'm more like, what classifies you as.
Fran
A Disney adult, like, going to Disney often and everything about your life, like.
Rhea
Not without kids, because, like, if you.
Noah
Just love the rides, like, and you go for the rides. No, but like, you to be like the characters.
Fran
If. When your time off, if you have time off from work is like, we're going to Disney.
Rhea
Yeah. It's like, you don't have kids, you're going to Disney multiple times a year.
Fran
You go multiple times a year. Your house is decorated. Disney decor.
Noah
Yes.
Rhea
You're like, you know, you have your wedding there, you go on your honeymoon to Disney.
Noah
Yeah, that's.
Rhea
Yeah. It's a lot as far as Disney Princess that you could put into card that into the Kardashians. That's a good question.
Fran
That was a good question. I would say.
Rhea
It is a good question. I can't. I don't know. I don't really think any would thrive.
Noah
I don't feel like Jasmine.
Rhea
Yeah, but you're just. That you're going off. You're going off looks, you know, like, I feel like you're just going like you're going off thinking you're going off. Just like. Sure. If we're going off aesthetic. If we're going off aesthetic. Yes, I.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
But like, she said that would fit in, you know.
Fran
Yeah. Fit in.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
It's like Shallow Princess.
Fran
Well, I would. The lesson at the end is that they're not, you know, like, that's like they come around and they're not. But like. Yeah, you know. God. This is a really good question.
Rhea
I know. Seriously, we're stunned. And now we just maybe, like, like.
Fran
Cinderella and Little Mermaid.
Noah
I feel like she's too high class.
Fran
Can. Can be, like, whipped into shape, into being into the Kardashian family. Right.
Noah
I feel like Cinderella is, like, above them. That makes sense.
Fran
Well, she wasn't. No. You know what I mean?
Noah
Yeah. But she would, like, look down on them.
Fran
No, but, like, maybe, like, maybe Kris Jenner would be Cinderella's fair godmother.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
To make all of her wishes come true.
Rhea
Maybe. You know, Snow White deals with a lot of dwarves. Not that they're, you know, but she's, like. She's in charge of a lot of people. Big family. Really, Just trying to come. Yeah. Like, big family.
Fran
Right, right.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
It's the kids.
Rhea
Like, there's, like, a lot, like, track that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's coming from the sense of, like, you know, she's. She's around people. She's around her. Her dwarves a lot. She's got her people.
Fran
Maybe Sleeping Beauty just because she has beauty in the title.
Noah
That'd be a good makeup line.
Fran
A Little Mermaid is fascinated with. With life on land.
Rhea
Yeah, that's true.
Fran
You know, maybe she.
Rhea
Yeah. Ariel would probably buy into cosmetic surgery, for sure.
Fran
Yeah. Well, you know, she's got a lot to deal.
Rhea
Maybe he's trying to fit in.
Fran
Maybe the tail would be the new trend. Right. You know?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
She. Ariel gets on land, she gets a bbl.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And legs. You never know. Good question, though.
Rhea
Oh, man. Yeah.
Noah
Maybe Minnie. She's not a princess.
Rhea
She's not a princess.
Fran
Princess.
Rhea
I'm just thinking princess.
Fran
I'm going Ariel.
Rhea
Yeah. That's a tough one. That is a tough one.
Fran
Good question, though. I like that a lot. Get the people thinking.
Rhea
Yeah. Moana could take them on, like, a.
Fran
Really nice water adventure. Yeah.
Rhea
Yep. Sure. Yeah. Trying to think of, like, you know, who. Who the kids would want involved more like, who would they be excited to have as an aunt come into the mix?
Fran
I'm just more thinking about the princess with.
Rhea
Getting along with the sisters.
Fran
With the sisters.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Like, she's becoming one of the sisters.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
All right, let's do one more.
Voicemail Callers
Hi, Rhea, Fran, and Noah. I'm Fanny from Chicago. I'm one day fresh from the Summer I Turned Pretty episode where Conrad confessed his love. So it made me start thinking that was one of the best love confessions I've seen since. Since Chuck told Blair not to marry.
Fran
Louis in Gothic Girl.
Voicemail Callers
And it really begs the question, who? This is not really a hot Take. But it really begs the question, who do you think or what show or movie do you think has the best love confession of all time?
Fran
Wow.
Voicemail Callers
Let's know. Thanks. Have a good one.
Rhea
Love Confessions. Meanwhile, by the way, I just thought of another comparison. Belle did fall in love with a beast like character, which, you know, some of them have revealed themselves. Some of their partners have revealed themselves to be quite beast like.
Fran
But the beast is.
Rhea
But these are the things the beast is good at heart. Not bad. Not. It doesn't go the other way.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
Which. There. There goes my comparison.
Fran
Right. You know, it's good.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah. Wow. Great question. Best love confessions of all time.
Rhea
I mean, like, I. My. I immediately go to One Tree Hill for like, multiple. Multiple relationships. Nathan and Haley, season one.
Fran
Oh, my God. Yes.
Rhea
In the rain.
Fran
Oh, my God. Anything that has to do with like, in the rain.
Rhea
Yeah, obviously. Like, you know, Peyton and Lucas, season four. Like those ones. Those ones pop out to me, like, right away. Damon's got a great one. Vampire Diaries.
Fran
I'm looking it up to see what people think because it's just hard because.
Rhea
It'S like my mind. My Gray's Anatomy has a great one. Yeah. It's like you go TV show movies. Like if we put. Are we including movies in this? Because then that changes everything too, I think.
Noah
Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Pitch.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
At the end, the. The car thing, trying to think of.
Rhea
Like, the ones that I watched a million times.
Fran
I think One Tree Hill is definitely up there.
Rhea
One Tree Hill is probably my number.
Fran
That was like a really good.
Rhea
Really good call because I just, like, would go and re. Watch those ones over and over and over again.
Fran
That's how I feel about, like, Conrad and so March are putting that episode seriously. Really was up there.
Rhea
Seriously.
Fran
It really, really is the build up and everything. No, but One Tree Hill has some of the best buildups with the relationships, especially like Nathan and Haley and Peyton.
Rhea
Yes.
Fran
And all that.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
That's a good answer. Like that.
Rhea
That's. That's got to be number one for me of like, what. And I. And I go back and I rewatch just to like, get to those moments again, you know, you know exactly what episode they are, but you're just building up to get to them. I'm trying to think of, like, I mean, it's the same kind of thing with some of like those teen, like teen movies that you watch just to get to that point too. Like when you want. You just want to get to the end issues, all that. You just want to get to Hilary Duff and the End of a Cinderella Story. Like, those are all great ones. Yeah, those are classics ones that just. They're just a warm hug.
Fran
How to lose guy in 10 days.
Rhea
Oh, yeah. Great one.
Fran
That's a good one.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah. There's so many that we're not mentioning, especially once you start getting into movies.
Fran
Yeah. I mean, like, not a true confession. There wasn't like, one grand moment, but, like, a walk to remember.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Will always. The last song, the Notebook, but the last song when they're on the beach and then all of a sudden it's like this passion. Oh, my God. The last song might be so I.
Rhea
Can be close to the girl I love.
Fran
The last song might be up there for me is number one. When they're on the beach, all of sudden they see.
Rhea
That's what he says.
Fran
I don't really know.
Rhea
He's like, I'm thinking of. I'm thinking of going to and whatever. Fuck Columbia. Wherever fucking school he goes to.
Fran
Right?
Rhea
He's like, so. So I can be close to the girl I love.
Fran
But before that, when they're on the beach and then all of a sudden, they start passionately.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
Like, that's like the decor declaration of love to me.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
The big moment. And then all of a sudden, it's like, happy and then sad.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
The last song. That's up there for sure.
Rhea
So many good ones.
Fran
So many good ones. Good question, good questions, good call ins. Make sure you keep calling. And we'll post the number online and we want to see your answers to some of these questions. So we'll post online as well. Because that Disney princess one really had me stumped for a little bit.
Rhea
I'm still. I'm still thinking about it, and I have no answer for sure.
Fran
I'm still thinking about it. All right, that wraps up the popcorner. All right, that wraps up today's episode of Ticks to the Office. Thank you so much for watching and listening. We love you guys so very much. Thank you for always supporting the best show on earth. And we'll talk to you on Friday.
