Who turned the heat up Turn the beat up Record the pod made a bag put their feet up the ones that leave no crumbs when they clean up who's the pod that they all want to meet up?

[Fran]

What's up, everyone?

[Ria]

It's chicks in the office with Ria and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Wednesday. And I say that with emphasis because Friday energy we are lacking today. So the more that you emphasize it, the more you just like kind of push it out there.

[Fran]

It's like 100%.

[Ria]

We got that Friday, Friday, Friday energy We got that Friday, Friday, Friday.

[Fran]

That was nice.

[Ria]

Thank you.

[Fran]

I really liked that.

[Ria]

Good. Me too. Me too.

[Fran]

That was. It was catchy.

[Ria]

Saw Noah Friday adjust my levels on the microphone and I thought, I'm being too loud.

[Fran]

It's all right.

[Ria]

We got that.

[Fran]

Friday.

[Ria]

Yeah, Friday. Friday.

[Fran]

Energy, energy, energy, energy, energy.

[Kelly]

I did not see that coming my way, man.

[Fran]

Were you ready to do it?

[Ria]

Ready? You brought jumped on that ring. Energy. All right. We brought the energy.

[Fran]

Well, if you made it to today, you weren't raptured, right? Is that the. Is that the term?

[Ria]

I don't. I honestly have to be or not to be? 0 idea. I was seeing this come across. I think I saw Heather McMahon talk about it, right? I think I saw a video on her TikTok and I was like, what is go. That what led me down. I was like, what is going on?

[Fran]

I saw her thing too. And Wells posted one. Yes, yes.

[Ria]

And I was like, what?

[Fran]

First thing to type in what is on Google. The Rapture.

[Ria]

Yeah, let me know. Because I was lost.

[Fran]

The Rapture is a Christian belief about the end of. About the end times, where all living and deceased believers in Christ are suddenly caught up from earth to meet Jesus in the air at his second coming.

[Ria]

Okay, so people thought they were just.

[Fran]

Going to mention of believers. Living Christians will be transformed and along with the resurrected dead in Christ will send to meet the Lord in the air. And a central tenet is that believers will be removed from the earth, leaving behind non believers to face a period of great trials and suff.

[Ria]

Oh, okay.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Kelly]

Like remember Channing Tatum crying around and.

[Ria]

This is the end, right? This is the end where people are just like. We're walking around the office and some people are being lifted into the air and others are just walking around.

[Kelly]

People in this office are being lifted.

[Fran]

This is a New York Times article. The Rapture was predicted to happen today. TikTok has some advice. There are thousands of videos to help prepare those who may or may not ascend into the heavens on Tuesday.

[Ria]

Oh, preparation videos, huh?

[Fran]

Some evangelical Christians believe the Bible predicts such an event known as the Rapture, which essentially marks the beginning of the end of human history. Nice.

[Ria]

All right.

[Fran]

For those who believe in the prediction, the Tick tock, the Tick Tockers had some advice. Don't make any weekend plans.

[Ria]

Clear your schedule.

[Fran]

Leave your phone unlocked and your passwords accessible for those left behind. And maybe leave your house and car keys.

[Ria]

What?

[Fran]

So sounds like just like get open up access to have everything stolen from you immediately.

[Ria]

Give your passwords away.

[Fran]

Give your passports to passports. Give your passport.

[Ria]

Give your passports to your passports as well.

[Fran]

Give your passport too.

[Ria]

Give your passwords to your loved ones.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

Get hand over your car keys and your house keys. Basically, this is a robbery.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Hands up and give away all your belongings.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

This is also not the first rapture prediction. It's a. Predicting the rapture is a long standing practice. It's happened many times before. Long history people using numbers and dates in the Bible to try and calculate when the end times will come, what happens the next day? What a great question. After every predicted rapture has failed to materialize, believers have at times struggle to explain what happened or what didn't. Some people may suffer a crisis of faith. Others may wait for the next prophet to tell them when the end will be.

[Ria]

So they came back.

[Fran]

Well, it's like. It's like if you believe, if you're a believer and you think, hey, the rapture's coming. I'm. I'm ascending into heaven. And you wake up Wednesday and you're like, well, I'm here still. What does that mean for what I thought was gonna happen right then? You're like, I must have gotten the date wrong.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Oh. Oh, shit. I mixed up the dates of fucked up this.

[Kelly]

God must have made just an error.

[Ria]

Yeah, I mixed up the dates. Do you remember in. Was this the same thing in 2012 when people thought the world was going to end?

[Fran]

There was one of. Yeah, that was like the.

[Ria]

Right. 2012. 2012.

[Fran]

There was a big one.

[Kelly]

That was the end of the world.

[Fran]

Yeah, but what were.

[Kelly]

But it wasn't.

[Fran]

Yeah, right.

[Kelly]

But is that the same thing? I don't know.

[Fran]

No, no, no, it's.

[Ria]

No, I don't. Because it's not. Because what they're saying here is that some people get left behind.

[Fran]

But I think the turn of millennial, like into 2000, people thought.

[Kelly]

No, no. But I thought that. And then that's kind of what it is. And this is the end where it's like the apocalypse. You're. You're being comparing.

[Fran]

I know you're really like, this is the end.

[Kelly]

But I'm just saying, like, when the apocalypse happens, those people get saved before. And then the apocalypse is just.

[Fran]

Yeah, right, right. Well, yes.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

The idea of the world ending in 2012 stemmed from a misinterpretation of the ancient Maya long.

[Ria]

The calendars. Because the calendar ended.

[Fran]

Yeah. They were like, 21st, 2012. It was like, this is it.

[Ria]

Yeah, that's. They didn't go further with the calendar. So they were like, the world must be ending. We don't have the calendar.

[Fran]

Right, Right.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Kelly]

Some guy was just lazy, like in the making The.

[Ria]

Yeah, he was like, I'm done. Like, I'm. I actually am tired.

[Fran]

Sometimes AI is just like. Like, sometimes it's very, like, funny when you just Google something and you get the. The overview of what it says, and down at the bottom says the reality of December 21, 2012. Normal day. The day was simply a normal December. It was.

[Ria]

I actually remember the day.

[Fran]

It was just a normal day.

[Kelly]

You ever watched that movie? No. 2012.

[Fran]

No.

[Ria]

No.

[Kelly]

Oh, great movie.

[Fran]

They made a movie about it.

[Kelly]

Yeah. John Cusack.

[Ria]

I remember hearing about the movie, but I never saw it. This is the End was one of those movies that when it. Yes. When it first came out, I didn't like it. And then the second time I watched it, I was like, this is so fucking funny. It's. It got funnier each time.

[Fran]

Yes, it definitely.

[Kelly]

First part of it. Like, I wish that could just be the whole movie where it's just, like, all these celebrities hanging out.

[Ria]

Oh, I was.

[Fran]

When we lost. We had that one on itunes.

[Kelly]

Yeah, the middle.

[Ria]

The middle chunk where it's like, so. Something not so chill last night.

[Kelly]

Watson.

[Ria]

Yeah, that was a. That was a weird part of that. Of that movie.

[Fran]

That was.

[Ria]

That was a strange part of that movie. So wouldn't call that my favorite part. But. But Jonah Hill, very fun when he's. When they're like. They put everything on the table that they have, and he's like, bang, bang. That's classic.

[Fran]

It is. Yeah. But, yeah, we made it through.

[Ria]

We're. We're here.

[Fran]

We're here to tell the tale.

[Ria]

Yes. We made it. And we have exciting.

[Fran]

Which is not, you know, would, I guess, technically be bad, because that would mean we would be here and stuck with a. With the suffering and peril that would be happening afterwards. But.

[Ria]

But in. You're coming over for a tomato soup.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

So.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And Dancing with the Stars.

[Ria]

And dancing. So that seems like a good night to me. It doesn't. That doesn't seem bad.

[Fran]

No, it doesn't.

[Ria]

That doesn't seem bad. We do have very exciting news, though.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

The only thing we love as much as you guys are those delicious cocktails. And no one serves up real delicious cocktails like Rumhaven. We had a great time in both Charleston in Georgia, when we met up with you guys, and we had those delicious Rumhaven cocktails. And soon, on our fall tour, we're gonna do the same exact thing. Rumhaven is 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. Enjoy Rumhaven straight over ice or a splash of club soda or in your favorite juice. Either way, it tastes amazing. Head to rummaven.com chicksintheoffice to learn more. This has been in the works for a while. We were wondering when we should reveal it, when we should talk about it, but it seems like it's about time because it's happening in two weeks. So, Noah, why don't you take it away? Because this is your big thing.

[Kelly]

I have to check what number it's on the list. I was gonna say. Okay, so for my number.

[Ria]

So sorry.

[Fran]

We're gonna make. We have a really fun announcement to make. But we just spent five minutes thinking Noah should make the announcement. He had the least amount of energy of all time. That Rhea cut him off and said, you know what? I'm making the announcement because you're. That the energy you just showed for that, not worth it. So, Rhea, what is our big announcement?

[Ria]

The energy should be like, Friday, Friday.

[Fran]

Friday, energy, energy, energy.

[Ria]

So the big announcement is. Number six on Noah's list was go to a new country. Originally he thought, you know, I might just pop over to Scotland. I might pop over to Portugal. And it's not just a popover. Obviously, it's far. You're going to Europe. But that was his plan.

[Fran]

The man's been to a lot of countries.

[Ria]

He's been to a lot of countries because he lived abroad in London for six months. So he popped over to every other country around there when he lived over there. So it was. It was hard to find a place. But lucky enough, the Singapore Board of Tourism reached out and the three of us will be headed on our merry way to Singapore on October 5. We are taking the longest flight in the world.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

From Newark to Singapore, 19 hours straight.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

It's the longest in the world. Non stop. We're doing it and we're going to be there for a week. And we will not be recording our podcast during the week, but we will have plenty of videos and other content online on social that you guys can keep up with. Because, you know, the. Trying to arrange how we were going to record the podcast in Singapore wasn't so easy.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But it will be very easy to share our journey through social.

[Fran]

Exactly. And we also want to take advantage of every second we have over there.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

Because once in a lifetime opportunity. So really getting to explore and see and experience as much as we can.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

Plus it's a, you know, a crazy time difference. Like a full day, really, like 12 hours old day ahead. So that's also another reason why it's like kind of. Kind of hard to. To figure that all out. But extremely excited.

[Ria]

So, so, so excited. It's going to be so cool. We're going to be taking in every single moment. We're going to be capturing it all. I can't wait. It's just the three of us. Yeah, that's another three of us.

[Fran]

We can make it if we try.

[Ria]

Just the three of us. Bringing it back.

[Kelly]

The old school time.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Kelly]

Like we went on.

[Ria]

What do you mean? Have we ever did Company for, You know, the beginning portion of this show, it was just the three of us. So, you know.

[Kelly]

Yeah, that's true.

[Ria]

We're.

[Kelly]

We're running it back, but not for leisure.

[Ria]

No. I mean, the three of us have never taken a vacation together.

[Fran]

Yeah. Because normally when we're going on vacation, it's like, yeah, peace out.

[Ria]

Fran and I have taken a vacation together. Not with you. Yes. But I'm very excited. I think. I think we're gonna have a fantastic time.

[Fran]

Yeah. It's like a good combination of both because it's like we still have a lot of stuff to do, but we won't be recording. I don't know if we'd gone on a trip where we haven't recorded the podcast. The three of us.

[Ria]

No, no. Yeah. I don't think so. Yeah, yeah. No. So it's going to be very exciting. We cannot wait. We have a lot of things on the agenda. The itinerary. They're setting us up.

[Fran]

So excited.

[Ria]

They planned a ton of cool things for us to see and we'll. We'll keep it at that. We don't want to reveal anything that we're doing or not doing. But if you guys have recommendations, if anyone's been to Singapore and you have any cool recommendations that you think are a must do or must see, send them our way because we do have some. Some open. Open free time.

[Kelly]

I gotta watch Crazy Rich hasn't said thing. Yeah, I have never watched it.

[Fran]

What?

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Really? You've never seen it?

[Kelly]

No.

[Ria]

Wow. It is really one of the best.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. A fantastic.

[Ria]

It is fantastic. It's such a good plane movie too.

[Kelly]

It's so on the plane.

[Ria]

I think you should watch it before and then maybe you could hit it again. There's not. You got 19 hours, so you can.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Ria]

What's your.

[Kelly]

What's your game Plan on this flight.

[Ria]

I'm excited about, I don't know, cuddle in Fran's.

[Kelly]

Yeah, we're all next to each other, so.

[Ria]

Yeah. Make friend. Tickle my head.

[Fran]

Yeah. Sleep. Make sure Ria doesn't have a panic attack.

[Kelly]

But, like, you're not gonna sleep. Like, you're gonna sleep when, like on the flight, you know, like immediately or.

[Fran]

No, no, no. I'm gonna try and time it out. Right.

[Kelly]

Because we also land later in the day, so it's not like we need to like, live a full day right off the plane.

[Ria]

Yeah. I have voiced my concern to you guys about. I am so excited to go to Singapore. Like, it's such a dream come true and never thought that we'd be able to go. And I think it's incredible. I can't wait. The only thing that has been making me nervous is this 19 hour flight where, like, I won't see the outdoors for 19 hours has given me a bit of anxiety. I have voiced that to you guys. But Fran assured me that whenever I needed a cuddle, she'd be there for me. And I think we'll make it through.

[Fran]

And I, I, on the other hand, like, I look forward to any day now that I can really rot and just do nothing and not move. And that's a 19 hour flight. Like, it is. I'm like, dreaming about it. And I don't know if that's just because now after changing, changing my ways, I don't have as many lazy days as I used to. But my God, I'm like, oh, buckle up. What show am I gonna watch? What movies gonna watch? What books am I gonna read? I'm. I'm gon Ready to go.

[Ria]

Right. I. That's more of the outlook I'm having now.

[Fran]

We're. Yeah. Cozy. I'm gonna set up my whole little area.

[Ria]

No, I. And I love. What's crazy is I love a long flight. Like if. When we fly to LA or anytime I flow to l like London. Like, I actually very much. I'm like, oh, man, I don't. Fiji. I loved. Like, I don't want to get off. It's the, like, thinking of the 19 hours has been like, just replaying in my head where I'm like, all right, I gotta get compression socks.

[Fran]

Like, no, for sure.

[Ria]

That's where my brain has went, where I'm like, no act. No. Like, moving my body around for that amount of time. You know, it's. It's a little bit daunting, but at the same time, I Think we'll be relaxed. Equally relaxed.

[Fran]

Up and down the aisles.

[Ria]

Yeah. We'll do some squats in the bathroom. That type. That type of ordeal. Walk around and I think I'm gonna end up loving the flight. Like, I think I'm gonna end up being on the flight, being like, I don't want to get off.

[Kelly]

We get to say we did the longest flight in the world.

[Fran]

100%.

[Ria]

1,000%. I think that is.

[Fran]

So that could have been on your list.

[Kelly]

That would have been. I guess I would have had to go to Singapore.

[Ria]

Yeah, that's true. No, it is really cool. I'm very excited and like, you know, for our own bucket list.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Cross that off. And the things that we're doing.

[Kelly]

Continent. None of us have been to Asia.

[Ria]

Yeah, that is very true. Very, very excited. So. Yeah. Any recommendations? Any recommendations for the long flight too, if you've done it? I would like that as well, you know.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

Recommend what compression socks I should wear.

[Fran]

Yep. Yep.

[Ria]

Or should I not wear them? You know, that's the toss up I'm having in my brain.

[Fran]

It probably doesn't hurt to wear them.

[Kelly]

[Ria]

Yes. Yeah. Yep. That we are. We are doing that as well. Yep. No. Very excited for Lady World on Sunday. But Singapore is right around the corner. Oh, my gosh. I can't wait to just soak it all in.

What do you have left?

[Kelly]

I have the read the book, but I've said that I want to step on the plane and, like, it's over, you know, Like, I want that to be like, the thing.

[Ria]

That's true.

[Kelly]

The phone thing.

[Fran]

We have flights to and from Lady.

[Kelly]

World, so the one that's really gonna be hard is the turn phone off. That's the one thing I really don't have scheduled. Like, I think the dog adoption event. That. That's happening. I have a day. The phone thing is. It's. I don't know. I don't know when I'm gonna Do it.

[Ria]

That one is hard because. Because of work.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And like, even on the weekends, you know, we're. We're answering stuff and that's hard to just shut your phone off. But I feel like we've given you a couple days that may work.

[Kelly]

Yeah. I'll just have to let everyone in.

[Ria]

My life know, like, literally, you're gonna have to let everybody down the line.

[Fran]

Unfortunately. Unfortunately, it may have to happen after.

[Kelly]

Singapore maybe, but I don't think that would work. Like, why would that after Singapore went back to work?

[Fran]

Well, I just. I just think like a Sunday is probably the easiest day to do it.

[Ria]

It's true.

[Fran]

Like, we come like October 12th is a Sunday.

[Kelly]

What do we got on, like fantasy football Checking fan.

[Fran]

I mean, fantasy football is by far the lowest reason of.

[Ria]

I thought I said you should maybe do it the Saturday before we leave for Singapore. Friday night into Saturday or Friday.

[Kelly]

That's the day of the dog adoption.

[Ria]

Yeah. But like, what time's the event?

[Kelly]

Probably like mid midday.

[Ria]

So like after, like maybe at like Friday at 8pm until Saturday at 8pm?

[Kelly]

No, no, it's not Saturday.

[Fran]

Is it Saturday? It's on Saturday.

[Ria]

Oh, I thought the event was on Friday. So do it on Friday.

[Kelly]

Yeah, I mean, we'll figure it out.

[Ria]

No matter what day I say, you're gonna find a reason.

[Fran]

I got it.

[Kelly]

So, yeah, we have. Yeah, we have the reservation for Theresia. I'm excited about that.

[Ria]

We do that is next week as well.

[Kelly]

And then look out for the big guitar video reveal.

[Ria]

Oh my gosh. I don't even want to talk about that.

[Kelly]

Yeah, so that should be coming hopefully this week.

[Ria]

I think that was. That was really good. I don't even want to tease anything further, but that video is really something to be seen. It is genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen actually in a very long time. Very, very long time. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We're going to be talking about some topics now. I wait for Singapore. I'm sorry. I'm just like now.

[Fran]

It's going to be amazing.

[Ria]

It's going to be so freaking cool and fun. And if anyone's been. I know it gets really hot. So we were talking about this again. I know it gets really hot. So like, any suggestions for like, what we should wear during the day? Would love some recommendations on that as well because I. I was already trying to pack. I know that that seems crazy cuz it's far away, but I want to be prepared And I was like, o, what should I wear during the day? So let me know and let's get into the rest of the show. I bought a cool dress. Okay. Anyways, I bought. I went into a store and I saw this dress that I, like, would never usually buy. And I was like, you know, why not? Like, it can't be fun for dinner.

[Fran]

You know, Is it long or short?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Literally impossible. I don't know what else to do. Like doing like weird exercises, trying to make it feel better. But it's been so bad. And I keep like. I don't know, it's just, it's, it's giving me headaches.

[Ria]

That massage in Singapore is gonna fix us right up.

[Fran]

I know. Now I feel like I'm. I sound congested because I feel congested. I know, I know. Anyway, let's get into the topics. It's not about. It's not about. It's not about my ailments.

It's not like I'm not like, you.

[Fran]

Know, I know I feel bad. I keep sniffling.

[Ria]

I'm more like, oh, I know. You know, like, I feel bad for you right now.

Sniffling into the microphone.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But I said, who? She said, you know, Harry Styles. I said, same. That would be a miracle.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Boom. Monday comes along. Zayn is announced to have a seven night residency in Las Vegas. Now this is at the Dolby park at mgm. It is not the Sphere.

[Fran]

I know it well. That's where the Jonas Brothers were.

[Ria]

Okay.

[Fran]

So I'm very familiar with your game. The Dolby Park.

[Ria]

The Dolby park at the mgm. Now Zayn will be there for seven nights. I'm shocked by this. Never did I ever think Zayn would be doing a seven night residency in Vegas. Like, I just, I didn't know Zayn still wanted to be a performer this.

[Fran]

Well, he's on tour right now.

[Ria]

Friday.

[Fran]

Friday, Friday.

[Ria]

Energy.

[Kelly]

If you didn't listen to his album, nobody is listening.

[Ria]

Dude.

[Fran]

Is he really, is he really on tour right now? I'm pretty sure.

[Ria]

God. I think. Or at least he just shit.

[Fran]

Or maybe he just finished a tour.

[Kelly]

Well, I remember that he had to. Like he was on tour when Liam Payne passed away because he had to.

[Ria]

It's like some things you really know and some things you don't. And I didn't know that Zane wasn't.

[Kelly]

We're too busy talking about Harry Styles running.

[Fran]

God. Yeah, yeah. January is when the residency is going to be. But what, what, what did he finish this tour? Oh, we finished the tour a while ago.

[Ria]

Oh, thank God. I was like, you're going to tell me Zane's on.

[Fran]

No, you're right now. No, he was on. So that's how time moves for me. He was on tour a while ago.

[Ria]

What year? 2023.

[Fran]

He finished at the beginning of this year oh, okay.

[Ria]

So the beginning of 2025. January, February.

[Fran]

He finished February 8th. He posted on Instagram. And that's a wrap for my first ever solo tour across.

[Ria]

Okay. It was his first ever solo tour.

[Kelly]

First ever tour.

[Ria]

Solo.

[Fran]

Solo. First ever.

[Ria]

But like, yeah, he toured with the Other Directioners. Yeah.

[Fran]

So like, yeah, the. That was. He did the. It was called the Stairway to the Sky Tour. 2024 is when it happened. He toured from like October to December and then the beginning of the year as well. A little bit in the beginning of the year. Wow. So really, I mean, I'm wrong too. Like, I really thought he was. That was a little bit more recent. But this year, I thought just finished.

[Ria]

You know, I felt like a big, huge fat piece of. For saying no. Like, oh, he still wants to be a performer.

[Fran]

I mean, granted, that was just finished.

[Ria]

I know. That was a ricochet shot for me. It's like he clearly wants to be a performer. He just went on his first. Not. Not last solo tour. First. He's just starting out. Yeah. He's just starting out his tour. So he will be doing a seven night residency. I think people are very excited for this. And listen, I don't really know a lot of zines. I know.

[Fran]

Pillow talk.

[Ria]

Yep. My remedy is that words. My remedy.

[Fran]

I don't know. You know I'm bad with lyrics.

[Kelly]

You ever listen to the Tyler Creator remix of that song? So good.

[Ria]

No. You know what? I love that Tyler the Creator song that started going crazy on TikTok. Like Sugar on My Tongue.

[Kelly]

I think that's what it's called.

[Ria]

It's called Sugar on My Tongue.

[Kelly]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Kelly]

That's some good album. It's like a dance.

[Fran]

Yeah, that has over 2 billion. Pillow talk.

[Ria]

My rama. I gotta make sure that these are the lyrics. Like I'm singing the wrong.

[Fran]

I don't know. I don't think I could really like sing you any other part of that song that's such.

[Ria]

It's a good song.

[Fran]

It is a great.

[Kelly]

No, I'm telling you. Listen, after this where.

[Kelly]

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Let's keep It.

[Fran]

Keep it that way. Yeah, you see? I can't believe you let him do that to you. I can't believe you let him do that to you.

[Ria]

And that's my joke. The amount of times I've done that to other people, I just believe you.

[Fran]

Just fell for that.

[Ria]

I have done it to you. Oh my God. I'm off my game today. No, but what am I thinking of? My remma. Oh, no.

[Fran]

My remedy.

[Ria]

My remedy. My enemy talk. Oh, my enemy.

[Fran]

Yes. I thought it was very close.

[Ria]

I thought it was my remedy because that would be like my remedy. Like pillow talk. I love pillow talking.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, my enemy.

[Ria]

You into pillow talking? Laying your head on the pillow and talking?

[Fran]

Sometimes. Most of the time I'm just. I want to go to sleep, you know, like if my face is on the pillow, I'm like, I'm like a.

[Ria]

Wake up in the middle of the night, 4am Pillow talker.

[Kelly]

So you like wake Marty up?

[Ria]

No, like, like I just catch myself like. Yeah, yeah. Literally, like the other night, this like pillow. I'm being specific. Like, pillow talk seems like one for like. I'm not like being serious talk. I mean.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

It's 4:00am I woke up in the middle of the night, probably had to pee. And now all of a sudden, like I'm just like rambling all my thoughts. Like funny jokes. Yeah.

[Fran]

And he's awake.

[Ria]

Semi.

[Fran]

He's like. He actually.

[Ria]

That actually happened on. Was it Sunday night I woke up in the night or Saturday night and I was talking about something. I forgot what it was. It was like something funny. And then yesterday he asked me a question in the middle of the day that was about that. And I said, you don't remember? He was like, no. He was like, honestly, no. I was a little asleep. When you're talking about that.

[Fran]

It was in the middle of the night. No, I. I'm not. And Joe's a heavy sleeper, so, you know, it's like pillow talk.

[Ria]

Your enemy.

[Fran]

I'd really be talking to myself. Like I have to like shake him awake for him to really to hear me. And he also scares easily so that I'd scare him. Like if, like, if I like, if.

[Ria]

You like wake him. He's like, oh, my. No, I.

[Fran]

You've seen.

[Ria]

Yeah, No, I feel.

[Fran]

I actually. I joke with him all the time that we would be like such a hilarious viral TikTok couple if he would let me film him when he gets scared.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Because it is so fucking funny. But he hates it.

[Ria]

Big scaredy cat.

[Fran]

Oh, My God.

[Kelly]

It's like those tiktoks, you know where they. When you like would wake your mom up to be like, I peed the bed or whatever. No, my kid. And they're like.

[Fran]

But I know it every time. I know it every time. Yesterday I walked Olive and when I came back, he. He was going for a run and I didn't. I don't. We didn't know if we were gonna cross paths before he left again. But I came home, he has headphones in already in the bedroom. He didn't hear me. And I was like, oh. When he turns around and sees me, he's literally gonna scream. Like I just know. And what he turned on. He said he went, ah.

[Ria]

There's no way to prepare him.

[Fran]

No, I was like, there's no.

[Ria]

That's funny. I knew he was like, didn't like scary movies.

[Fran]

No. He'll fall asleep. Like if we're watching a movie or something at night and it gets too late and he falls asleep asleep sometimes the next morning, like he'll get mad at me cuz he'll be like, why didn't you wake me up? Cuz sometimes like I'm just like, I let. Let him be sometimes cuz I'm like, Joe, literally, like I. I have to go, I have to like rub him like this. Joe, wake up like really gentle. Cuz if I don't. If I'm just like Joe. He's like, ah.

[Ria]

Like actually that's not a way you want to wake up. No.

[Fran]

And then he gets. Then he's like, ah.

[Ria]

This reminds me of. I saw a tik tok of a. A woman talking about this and it made me laugh so fucking hard. Because I feel like I've talked about this to Matt before. We're like. And it's kind of like you're saying Joe wakes up scared. But like, you ever. Like sometimes when they wake up, it's like, where am I?

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

It's like, what? You know what I mean? Like, it's like, why do guys always wake up so confused?

[Fran]

I know.

[Ria]

It's like, how deep in sleep are.

[Kelly]

You in when you take a nap on Sunday?

[Ria]

No, I woke up saying I feel like a pile of garbage.

[Fran]

No, you just, you're not confused. You're just like, I feel lazy.

[Ria]

I just like feel lazy. Of course people wake up from a nap confused sometimes. It's just like waking up in general. I feel like guys are just like, where am I?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I don't know. You're asleep, bro. Now you're awake.

[Fran]

I know. Now you're awake. Yep. Happens all the time. But Zane's hitting up Zane's in Vegas.

[Ria]

Seven night. Seven night Pillow talk. His enemy. You can instantly refresh your hair with Batiste. It absorbs oil and grease for cleaner looking and feeling hair with added volume and texture.

Batiste works better than the next leading competitor and brands that cost up to two times more. It's a cult classic for a reason. So buy Batiste Dry Shampoo online or in store at your nearest retailer. Nike and Skims new line. Now, this is big because. For a lot of reasons. But if you know, you know that Kim could not work with Nike for a long time because of Kanye. Kanye, Yay.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

Which I don't even. Which Kanye. Which I don't even want to give Kanye any air time. Like, we avoid that at all costs. But have you guys seen the clips?

[Fran]

Oh, yeah, I saw it. It's. Yeah, I've seen it.

[Kelly]

Well, how about the Michael Cha one where Connie just looks like the biggest coward? Like when he's getting fronted backstage at SNL after he did the whole thing?

[Ria]

I mean, every clip, he's terrible.

[Fran]

Him screaming at Chris was wild.

[Ria]

Wild. Just wild. But anyways.

[Fran]

Yeah, anyway. But yes. Nike's activewear line with Kip Kardashian skims is set to launch on Friday with three core collections that will be updated seasonally. The companies have planned to launch the partnership called Nike Skims in the season spring, but they pushed it back due to internal production delays. The sneaky. The sneaky. The sneaker giants collaboration with the buzzy Shaper company is part of a strategy to win over more female shoppers. This is on cnbc. The partnership, dubbed Nike Skims, is a key part of. Like I said, they're trying to win over more female shoppers, take back some of the market share from some of those brands that cater more closely to women. Kind of a huge deal because we really only. We see a lot of Skims collaborations with other brands. But this is its own new line that will launch on Friday. The three core collections are the matte, shiny, and airy. They'll be updated seasonally, and it will include around 40 new styles and pieces that can be worn in and outside of the gym. Beyond the core apparel line, Nike Skims will also debut a handful of seasonal collections, including a vintage line and layering pieces that can be used to create an activewear look, which is. It's very exciting. After the companies announced the partnership in February, they were set to launch that initial collection in the spring, was pushed back. And then Nike Skims put a whole new marketing campaign. We saw it this week with female, top female athletes. Serena Williams, Kari Richardson, Jordan Childs, Chloe Kim, and yeah, they're just really trying to hit on that female. Hit on that female audience.

[Ria]

This is huge.

[Fran]

This is.

[Ria]

This is a huge line. I actually do think this will help hit on the female audience totally. There are a lot of activewear brands right now that I feel like are dominating the, you know, space when it comes to women. Like, I know that I'm not shopping at Nike for my.

[Fran]

Sure.

[Ria]

Active wear, you know.

[Fran]

Right. It's not my. It's not like my go to. Like, I'm thinking, oh, what do I need? Like, I'm not hitting.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

First, however, with skims like, Mike, that's really like, my go to for bras, loungewear. Like, they have such great stuff. So I'm. I am certainly very interested. The Skim CEO said Nike Skims is more than a collaboration. It's a new brand redefining activewear. With this launch, we are establishing a platform to grow Nike Skims, reach consumers worldwide, and set a new benchmark for how activewear experienced across retail, digital and cultural touch points.

[Ria]

Wow. I am such an asshole for saying collab at the beginning, because it is certainly not a collab. It is a new line fully. But no, I think this is great. And like you said, like, go to for. For bras and underwear is these skims a majority of the time, not the case for Nike when it comes to what I'm working out in. So I'm very excited to see what. I'm so excited what they come up with, what the collection's gonna be. I think people are gonna go nuts for it, especially if it has the fabric and everything that Skims has. I think it's gonna be great. So totally.

[Fran]

I'm excited for that because you kind of forget too. It's like sometimes I'll throw on like an old pair of Nike leggings or something. I'm like, damn, these are great leggings. I don't really wear them that much. And I think working with skims is just going to take it all to a, to another level and it'll be really cute, I'm sure, so.

[Ria]

Exactly. And that's always a plus because when you're working out on something you feel cute in, you feel even better.

[Fran]

I like what I saw in the, in the ad.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Was already like looking great. So.

[Ria]

Yeah, very, very exciting. Last topic, A private eye was arrested in September for. It is still September, but early September for trying to climb the fence into Travis Kelsey's Kansas City home to serve Taylor Swift for the Justin Baldoni case. Now this I don't understand. Like the. Is the. Clearly the private eye can't do that. Do that. Right. Because he got arrested.

[Fran]

Yeah. I mean you can't like trespass on someone's.

[Ria]

You can't just climb house. You want to serve these papers so bad, you're going to climb the fence.

[Fran]

Yeah. I'm confused. I don't think you can do that. I don't think like you can serve someone in a public place.

[Ria]

Yes, that's why. Who got served on stage?

[Fran]

It was Olivia Wilde.

[Ria]

Yes, it was Olivia Wildegas served her papers. Yes.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

Wow.

[Fran]

So this guy was arrested last week after he jumped the fence of Travis Kelsey's neighborhood and trespassed onto his property. According to Leewa police, just before 2:15am on September 15, hours after the Chiefs played the Philadelphia Eagles, officers were called to a private gated neighborhood to investigate a trespassing incident. When officers arrived, they found a man inside the gated community and took him into custody. The man, identified in charging documents as Justin Lee Fisher, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of criminal trespassing. He was released after posting bond. He was found on the property. Additional Additionally, records from the Leewood Police Department say the incident was reported by two parties including one of Taylor Swift's long term, long time heads of security. So I guess it's like the security was also at the house. They were like what the is going on? But apparently he was there to serve papers. So you.

[Ria]

Yeah, so I'm not following exactly. It's like. So I guess because she's not really in public often a lot that you would be able to just serve her like.

[Fran]

Well, it's like he. It's like you're. You. You're thinking of any way possible, I guess, to get these papers in front of her.

[Ria]

Right. So you.

[Fran]

I have no clue. You're like, oh, she.

[Kelly]

Pineapple Express.

[Fran]

She was movie.

[Kelly]

He's like, that's his job.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Kelly]

In disguises and stuff.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yep.

[Kelly]

Probably be a fun job.

[Fran]

No, actually awful job.

[Ria]

Trying to figure out ways climb Travis Kelsey's. Yeah. Fence at 2 in the morning and then get arrested.

[Fran]

It's like a pretty awful job. Fisher, he wasn't her. Besides being arrested for doing my job and possibly losing my private eye license.

[Ria]

Well, you have to fence at 2 in the morning. Couldn't do it in daytime, Right.

[Kelly]

Following orders.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Two days before the arrest, the judge overseeing Baldoni's ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively denied requests from the actor's legal team for an extension to depose Swift. So I guess, like, they're in this rush because I think there's like a certain amount of time that they can get this deposition from Taylor Swift. And if they don't get it, like they're. I think they just are really pushing for it. The judge have written. The only justification they have provided for the extension is their assertion that Swift's pre existing professional obligations now prevent her from appearing from a deposition prior to October 20, 2025. So it's like discovery has been ongoing in this case for approximately six months. They've offered no evidence that they have served a renewed subpoena on Swift having failed to demonstrate appropriate diligence. The request requested extension is denied because like they wanted an extension. Depose Taylor because they said, oh, it's like now, after this certain time, she won't be able to do it. The judge is like, well, you've had all this time before that, so. Yep.

[Kelly]

When will this saga end?

[Fran]

When they go to court. Which isn't gonna happen till next year.

[Ria]

Right. Next year. And then next year at this time, we're gonna be like, damn. Yeah, they're in court now. Yep, that's gonna be quite the case.

[Fran]

Yeah. Because then it went back and forth like. So it was. Wait, what? Like the end of last week? Because remember, it was like the doc, there was a report that came out that she agreed to be deposed as long as the judge extended the deadline. But then Taylor Swift's lawyers denied that she's ever agreed to be deposed. So it's like once again, it just feels like Baldoni's team continues to throw her name out there and these headlines get written and it's like, we got her. We don't got her, right?

[Ria]

Because I can't figure out is, is she gonna be a part of it or is she not?

[Fran]

I don't know. The lawyer said my client did not agree to a deposition, but if she is forced into a deposition, we advised after first hearing about the deposition just three days ago that her schedule would accommodate the time required during the week of October 20th. So just a lot of back and forth. But I don't know what this guy was trying to do on. On her. I mean, you really got to be so. I don't care if you're a private. Whatever your job. Like, I'm gonna be a special type of person to, like, think, let me just jump right the fence and walk right up to Travis Kelsey's home. That Taylor Swift is in all the time. They probably have low, like, the security is insane.

[Ria]

When you just. Were you gonna climb in the bedroom window?

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

What was then to go right.

[Fran]

Up, knock on the door, throw rocks at the window. Yeah. Crazy.

[Ria]

Wild. Crazy. All right, that wraps up the topics. Fran is coming over for a nice little dinner tonight at the apartment.

[Caller]

Hi, this is Allie from Detroit calling in, longtime listener. Love you guys. My hot take. I want to know what you guys think about Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz. I know obviously Zoe and Taylor are friends. She recently did an interview with Austin Butler promoting the new movie that they have together, saying that she gets the sourdough from Taylor. So clearly they're very, very close. And I know Taylor's obviously in love with Travis and way over the Harry Styles thing, but do we still think in the back of Taylor's mind she's like, really? Zoe with Harry is, you know, what's going on there? I want to know your guys's hot take. Also just want to say proud to know if we're working on his list. Okay, love you guys. Bye.

[Ria]

Love you too. I actually think that Taylor Swift does not care because I feel like we've seen recently that, or maybe it wasn't so recent, but then within the last three years that Taylor and Harry were, you know, chumming it up at award shows and, and, you know, being friendly. And I feel like that was so long ago that at this point she probably doesn't give a shit. I agree.

[Fran]

I think they're on good terms.

[Ria]

Yeah, I think because they're on good terms, like, whatever.

[Fran]

Yeah, I agree with you. I don't, I don't think that there's really anything too crazy there. I think if anything, Taylor's like, oh, okay. I mean, can't blame her.

[Kelly]

It really would still just be so funny if he ended up going to their wedding.

[Fran]

Yeah, that would be.

[Kelly]

I feel like Harry Styles would be like, you know what, I'll sit this one out.

[Ria]

No, I got a plus one. I think he's a stand up guy. I think he would be, you know, they would make sure with Taylor and I think he would be there or.

[Fran]

You know, we could be living alone. We're just living in our own La La land. That be like, I think, you know, Harry could definitely be friends with all the sexes.

[Ria]

We're just like, he is just such a stand up man. Yeah.

[Fran]

He's just the kind of guy that, you know, he's friends.

[Ria]

He's literally saying about like being a bad boyfriend sometimes.

[Fran]

Yeah. But I'm sure that will be interesting to see. But I'm sure it will be fine. And I really don't think she cares.

[Caller]

Hi, Ria, Fran, Noah and Olive, this is Eliza from Maine. My question for you guys is regarding Dancing with the Stars and kind of have Julianne talked about social media becoming such a huge thing for them all now. Do you guys think that when people sign on to do the show, they know now how much content they're gonna have to make? Like, all the tiktoks? I'm just wondering, what if someone signed on to do the show and is like, I don't want to make these tiktoks, but maybe that's just part of it. And they know that, and they're all actors and people that are on TV and famous anyway. Also, I brought my husband with me to the show in Maine in a gunquit, and he had the time of his life, and he keeps asking when you're coming back, so please come after me. Love you guys. Bye.

[Ria]

Honored. We loved that show.

[Fran]

Yeah, we did.

[Ria]

I feel like, honestly, I've had that thought recently, seeing the amount of tiktoks that they've been doing for Dancing with the Stars and been like, God, this is exhausting. Not only are they, you know, practicing 24 7, they got to make sure they make enough tiktoks for people to be interested in them and for people to vote, which was not part of the criteria, you know, years back, but it is heavily, heavily incorporated now. So I don't know if they're told, hey, you're gonna have to make these posts or make tiktoks, or if it's kind of like an unspoken thing now.

[Fran]

I think the younger contestants totally get it, are into it. And then, like, the older ones, you know, they're just. The pros do it too now.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

So it's like the pros are filming you. Like, I'm looking like, all the tick tocks that Emma's been making with Andy are so funny. And, like, that's on Emma. Like, she's making all this content, and it's smart because she's trying to push his funny, relatable. It's like, oh, like, he's. So he's doing the King Julian voice on Tick Tock.

[Kelly]

You know, it also, like, plays a part in winning. Right.

[Ria]

Because you need the people you need. Yeah. Right. So if people start likability factor, for sure, Emma and Andy's videos go. I'm starting to root for that. Then we'll vote for them. So they're definitely. There's definitely a huge plus side to doing it. I don't know if it's mandatory, but I think when you see the other teams doing it and you go, oh, now we got to do it. And there's probably a little friendly competition with that as well. Like, you know, Mark and Whitney, their. Their tick Tocks are top notch and they're non stop.

[Fran]

Yeah. Unfortunately. Just like, I mean, unfortunate for the other couples and the other contestants, but like for those that their job is on tick tock already, it's easy for them. It's part of their job. Yeah. Alex, Whitney, Jen, you know, they're. They're filming their everyday life anyway. And this is what their everyday life looks like now. So it just like fits into it perfectly. Someone that maybe doesn't post as much or is a little bit more private. On social, it's definitely different. But I do think that they do a good job pairing people up. Where if you're maybe not somebody that's on social a lot, you're pro is. So then you kind of have like a balance and you're still being seen a lot. But I mean, my for you page is a lot. A lot of. I see a lot of Emma, a lot of Alex, a lot of Whitney. Like, it's just.

[Ria]

That's Dylan and Daniela, Danielle, Dylan moving his hips.

[Fran]

I watch that video.

[Kelly]

That was like the flour. Like.

[Fran]

Yeah, I watch it. Yeah, it's like doing the whisk. I probably watched that, that video. You know, people comment, they're like, why is this video 30 hours long? It's like, that was really me. I was mesmerized.

[Ria]

It was impressive. It was very impressive.

[Fran]

Talk about someone who you're like, these abs can't be real too. It's crazy. Yeah.

[Ria]

Like that movie you.

[Fran]

I watched. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I watched what I'll talk about next week too, but I watched the wrong Paris and I was like, this guy's abs, like, I've never seen someone with abs that actually look like they look painted. They're real, but they look painted on.

[Ria]

Yeah, you're like, how did you acquire that?

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. Insane. But yeah, I do. I think now they all do know that social is a massive part of the show.

[Caller]

Hi, all, this is Sarah from Texas. And I know you're gonna hate this one. Okay. I. I'm sorry. My hot take is that the summer I turned pretty just needs to end. It needed to end with Bella. Bella Belly getting on that plane to Paris.

[Fran]

What?

[Caller]

And it just needed to end there. No, all of this extra is just. I've seen some people have this opinion diluting the story. I feel like we need to respect this art for what it was. And I feel like the. The art virality and the influence of the Internet is really putting pressure on Jenny Han to keep pushing out more content. And it's just we don't need it.

[Ria]

We don't need it.

[Caller]

It's fine as it is. We don't need the movie. Just. Just end it. I'm ready for it to be over. And, yeah, I know you're gonna hate this one, so I'm sorry, but it's truly how I feel.

[Fran]

What?

[Caller]

Okay. Love y'. All. Bye.

[Fran]

Okay, love you. Love you.

[Ria]

Love you too.

[Fran]

Why pressure on Jenny Han, though? Because, like, this material is from a book that she wrote where they get married and live happily ever after.

[Ria]

Yeah, Jenny Han put the pressure on herself when she wrote that book. And by the way, season was fully filmed before the pressure of this season happened because I didn't see the pre. You know, it was happening a little bit, but it started amping up more and more as the season went on, for sure. And this. And the show was already done. It was filmed. It was cut. It was done. The. I couldn't disagree more with the statement that this show should end with her getting on. On a plane to Paris. I think there would have been multiple.

[Kelly]

Voicemails, like, saying that.

[Ria]

Saying that.

[Kelly]

Not exactly on the plane, but I've.

[Fran]

Seen some people having. This is like, oh, they should have. They should have. But, like, ending it before she picks somebody. Or like, ending.

[Ria]

Ending it would play another one.

[Caller]

Hey, Ria, Fran, Noah, Kelly, and congratulations, Sarah.

[Kelly]

This is from last week.

[Caller]

I have got about probably your 200th hot take on Samurai Turn Pretty Finale. I'm just guessing that's what all the calls are coming in about. My hot take might be the hottest of them all in that I was actually kind of let down by the ending. Don't get me wrong, I liked it. I was like, oh, my gosh, pick him, Pick him. But really, I was surprised that after all that, she did end up with Conor or Conrad. See? Forgot his name already. That's how wrapped up I was in it.

[Fran]

Both these callers don't even have character's names.

[Caller]

Like, that was what the whole show looked like up to. Like, they were so vilifying the other guy and so, like, making him so dreamy. Like, everybody. Unless they were just like, she needs to pick neither of them. It was just. It was. It was too obvious. I guess that's what I'm saying. It's like, obviously in the moment, I would have been really sad if she didn't pick him, but I just felt like it made the whole show like there was no pivot. It was just like, let's. Let's make everybody love one guy and hate the other. Guy. And of course she picks that guy in the end. So I don't know, it was just a little too cookie cutter for me. And I was like, oh, really? It actually did end like that. Okay. I don't know. I guess you've already heard yours, but feel free to elaborate. I mean, did you just love it because it pushed all the feel good buttons or. I mean, do you prefer more of a storyline?

[Fran]

I feel like some. I feel like people watched the Summer I Turned Pretty and maybe it's like, you know, older folks started to watch it.

[Ria]

Dog tag is just thrown on the floor like, you don't give a shit about my present.

[Fran]

It's over there. They move things over.

[Ria]

I haven't taken it. You haven't even taken it home.

[Fran]

Where's my chocolate chip banana bread? You're coming over tonight.

[Ria]

My God, how much more am I supposed to give?

[Fran]

It's coming home with me.

[Kelly]

You both never take anything. This studio just piles up of.

[Fran]

Your little jelly cat I put over there.

[Ria]

That's for your luggage though. That's supposed to go on the luggage.

[Kelly]

That'S gonna go to Singapore.

[Fran]

It's supposed to. It is supposed to. And it will.

[Ria]

It's a luggage tag.

[Fran]

It will. Well, we're not going anywhere yet.

[Ria]

We're going to Lady World this weekend.

[Fran]

This weekend? Yeah. You gotta put it on.

[Ria]

Whatever. You don't have to if you don't want it. All right, I'll give it to somebody else. Here's Olive's face.

[Fran]

I think that this show was watched.

[Ria]

The voicemail got us all worked out.

[Fran]

I know it did. It really did. With the NFL season here, it is time to start talking about the best hats from 47. I've been wearing my new ones non stop repping the Eagles hats. They are so great for obviously right now like recording, completing an outfit, watching the games. I had one on all day on Sunday. You can check out their site for new drops all season long. I am so excited about their NFL hats, but they also have new drops launching for NHL, NBA and NCAA all fall and winter. 47 isn't just game day where they focus on the quality and style of the product. 47 is also not just about hats. They have T shirts, sweatshirts that you can put together for the perfect outfit for your favorite team. I love all the apparel that 47 has as well, but I just got a bunch of new Eagles hats that I'm so excited for. I was wearing one yesterday, I'm wearing one today. They've really become such a staple in my wardrobe during the NFL season. So you can shop 47brand.com now and use code CITO for 20 off your purchase. This show was watched by a wide range. And I think we forget that this was lit. Like, this is a y a series for. It's supposed to be feel good. It's supposed to be obvious.

[Kelly]

She picks the end of that voicemail. Do you like your dumb little show or would you rather something more challenging?

[Fran]

This is not a show that's like, on this, like, Max drama HBO twist and turn. Like, yeah, who she will she. We know who she picks.

[Ria]

It was in the book.

[Fran]

It's in the books.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran]

It's like, I don't know. I don't know why people expected this show to, like, take some crazy route or think that she was gonna, like, really move the needle with some, like, controversial ending. In what world? It's a young adult novel that was turned into a teen series for teenagers.

[Ria]

Right? Right.

[Fran]

And it just like, took on a life of its own. We are supposed to love it because it is a feel good story. It is supposed to make you feel good. It's not. You're not supposed to wrong with loving.

[Ria]

A feel good story. Seriously, everything. Why does everybody make some big twist? Why can't we just love a feel good story that makes sense?

[Fran]

Why can't she just end up with her first love? Why? You know, it's that simple. It doesn't have to be like, oh, Belly needed to get on the plane in Paris and forget those two boys and live her own life. Sure. Realistically, sure. If Belly's a real person. Sure. But she's not.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

And I want her to end up with Conrad.

[Kelly]

That voicemail is different than the first one, though.

[Fran]

Yeah, they are different.

[Kelly]

But going back to, like, we need.

[Ria]

To have some comfort TV shows, you know?

[Kelly]

Yeah, but you kind of even said like when you were talking about it yesterday, like, like, you're worried about them. You don't want to see them fight during the movie. So, like, don't you think that they're gonna, like, the movie.

[Fran]

Could have ended it. They certainly could have ended at this finale. 100. But I don't think Jenny, like, Jenny Han knows They're very aware of what people say on the Internet. I've, like, they see all the theories. They see every what people are talking about. I don't know if that has any, like, crazy influence on the story that Jetty's gonna write. But, like, she appears to have been very clear. It's like, oh, Belly still has one big milestone in her life. Her wedding. That's literally in the book, right?

[Ria]

In the book she does get married to Conrad. So it's a full blown wedding.

[Fran]

Yeah. I just don't. And she's like, I know everybody wants to see them in a relationship together. And she's. I really think they're just make like this is a movie. It's a total fan service movie where it's like they know. She knows people want to see Belly and Conrad in a relationship and in love. So like that's what we're gonna get. I really don't think we're gonna watch some movie where in the first five minutes they like get into a fight and then they don't get back together until the end.

[Ria]

Like, do I think that they could have ended it with her and Conrad at the end of the season? Absolutely. Totally fine with that. Totally begging for a movie. Am I gonna take the movie? Of course.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Give it to me. Who am I. Who am I to complain about 100.

[Fran]

Could have ended it? And I actually like, I would have had a couple questions. Like I. I do want to see them reunite with Jeremiah. Like there's a couple things that I would want to see.

[Ria]

Need to see Jeremiah's reaction.

[Fran]

But at the same time, they did end it really well too. So like the series itself was ended really well. But once again, I just like it didn't people. I love these people being like, oh, boring. She picks comrades snooze fast. So predictable. It's like, yeah, it fucking was on purpose.

[Ria]

Right.

[Kelly]

Since we're on the shop, I'll play one more related to that.

[Caller]

Hi, Rhea.

[Fran]

You're getting me all fired up.

[Caller]

I don't think that Jeremiah and Denise should have kissed or become a couple at the end of the semi turn. Pretty. I think it would be a lot of good character development if Jeremiah would have just been on his own and realizing, hey, I can be fulfilled without having a partner when I feel lonely and continue to develop in his cooking business and that type of thing. Want to get your guys take on it? Okay, thanks.

[Ria]

Bye. I agree with this one.

[Fran]

Agreed.

[Ria]

I think that the Denise and Jeremiah storyline felt random and not needed. And, you know, I was happy Jeremiah was pursuing his love for cooking. I thought that was great. The Denise stuff was so random. Like it just didn't have to happen.

[Fran]

It also felt silly. Yeah, it also felt silly because the conversation that Denise and Jeremiah were having in the moment was Jeremiah being like, like, it'll be good for me to be alone. For. You know, I've never been alone before. It should be good for me. And then it's like, oh, kiss. It's like, oh, okay. That's actually. And yes, granted, she is moving in a month to San Francisco. It's like, he will be alone.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

But it just. It. They probably didn't need to do that. I would have been so fine if that kiss didn't happen. Yeah.

[Ria]

I wasn't begging. I wasn't like, oh, my God.

[Fran]

Kiss, kiss.

[Ria]

Like, I was like, all right, yeah. Who cares? Let's get back.

[Fran]

Jeremiah needs to stand on his own two feet, you know?

[Ria]

Yeah. And you know what? The cooking thing, it's good for him.

[Fran]

Yeah, it is. It is.

[Ria]

All right, we'll end the popcorner there. Because you know what? As we said in the beginning, Francesca is sick today, and we don't need to rile her up as well.

[Fran]

I know. I know.

[Ria]

But that wraps up the popcorner.

[Fran]

That did get me juiced up.

[Ria]

It did, and rightfully so.

[Kelly]

And she warned you too.

[Ria]

She did.

[Fran]

She did. Which is fair.

[Ria]

Ooh, your cute little storyline.

[Fran]

You know what? I love it. I love it. I love when people call in and they have something. They kiss me. Fired up. Of course, it gets my blood boiling.

[Ria]

Gives you that.

[Fran]

My circulation going. Friday, Friday.

[Ria]

That Friday, Friday. That Friday, Friday. Energy, energy. Yeah. All right, we'll end on that note. All right, that wraps up today's episode of Chicks in the Office. Thank you so much for watching and listening. The best show on earth. Reminder, tickets are still on sale, so make sure you get those. We love you very much, and we'll talk to you on Friday.
