You put the slippers in front of their face, they start wearing them. Cologne, maybe they have a signature scent. Get them a refill. Maybe you want to try new ones out. I think those two gifts are perfect for a gift giving season.

[Ria Ciuffo]

And I thought I kind of did something with the other side of that too is like scents are always great because in my mind I'm like for girls, perfume and handbags, you know, they.

[Fran Mariano]

Go hand in hand.

[Ria Ciuffo]

They do.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. So go shop. Now is the time to do it. Noah, welcome back. How are we feeling?

[Maddie]

So it feels like it's been forever.

[Fran Mariano]

I know. How we feeling?

[Maddie]

I'm feeling skinny and I've gotten. I don't know if people are saying it to be nice, but I have gotten a few comments.

[Fran Mariano]

As soon as I saw you, I was like looking slim, bro.

[Maddie]

Yeah, no, it was a rough, rough day or so.

[Fran Mariano]

You feeling light on your feet?

[Maddie]

Yeah, yeah. Like I really still haven't eaten like anything since it all.

[Fran Mariano]

I hope you can get back to that.

[Maddie]

I don't think I'll ever eat sushi again.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. Don't give too many details because you know people listening.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

They might get.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I think we did scare. I think we did also scare people because we said like people were like, oh my God. Like we didn't say allergic reaction but people like thought allergic reaction and it wasn't.

[Fran Mariano]

We would have said allergic reaction.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Like if you like if you were in the hospital because of a peanut so situation.

[Fran Mariano]

So what do you think it was? It was sushi.

[Maddie]

I think it was sushi. So. So I ate sushi like probably like 9:30. 10 is on Sunday night. Good amount.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Already a red flag.

[Maddie]

I always eat late.

[Fran Mariano]

I know you're a lady. You're. You're a late eater. You stay up late.

[Maddie]

Yeah. And I've ordered from this place like many times. Got like normal order, all tuna related sushi. Then you went in. I went in. And then I also was like, let me just go all the way in. And I ordered insomnia cookies. So I got four cookies. Oh, from insomnia. Which I didn't want to get four, I want to get three. But the way that they set up.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Their deals, I'm like, there could have been.

[Maddie]

It's like three for one. I'm like, all right, I have to get four.

[Ria Ciuffo]

So I got some other factors coming into play here.

[Maddie]

Yeah. Maybe like they all mixed together.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. It's just a bad combo.

[Maddie]

So I ate that. Then I had some like popcorn. So I was like, I was like, I look like Santa. I was so bloated. So I mean, I get bloated, like, when I go in like that. It happens.

[Fran Mariano]

I love how much emphasis you're putting on. Like, you went in.

[Maddie]

I was just like, it's Sunday. Like, it's the end of the year. Who am I?

[Fran Mariano]

End of the tour?

[Maddie]

Yeah. Like, tour is over. Like, I'm not trying. I don't. Whatever. I don't care how I look anymore.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, you.

[Fran Mariano]

Like, I gave it all I got.

[Maddie]

So I was like, oh, my God. So now I was trying to go to sleep and I'm like, I laid down. I'm like, wow. Like, that kind of hurts. Like, my stomach is so tight. Took a shower and I'm like, all right. And then I. You know when you, like, think, wait, am I gonna have to throw up? Or like, I hope not. So I started walking. I'm like, maybe I can walk it off. I was just doing laps in my apartment.

[Fran Mariano]

The worst.

[Maddie]

Trying to lock it off. And then it just kept progressively getting worse and worse. I threw up and I'm like, all right, there it goes. Like, I'm done. Like, I thought it was just, I overate and it's one thing. And then it just kept. Oh, it was nonstop. Like, I have never. I don't know if I've ever thrown up this much ever. Like, it was 12:00am to 10:00am of legitimately, like, nonstop. And it's like I. I'd feel like I had 105 degree fever and then I threw up, and then I'd be shivering, and then I was so dehydrated that I, like, legitimately couldn't walk or stand up. My hands were like this. You know, when I get cramped, like, it was. I was like laying on my bathroom floor like, I'm gonna die.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, my God. Well, that's awful. I mean, there's really no worse feeling. So I'm sorry you went through that, but you texted us and you were like, I might go to the hospital. Like, what can they even do? I'm like, go. They'll give you an iv. They'll hydrate you up. They'll give you some anti nausea medicine. If you just lay on your bathroom floor and just perish, we're gonna have a problem.

[Maddie]

Yeah. Cause I probably, by the time I did go, like, I threw up in the morning. And then I was like, that was probably the end of it. But I. So when I went there, I was like, past the worst part, but it definitely helped, I think. And I haven't been to a hospital a while, so it's kind of like, a little bit exciting.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Just seeing what the inside of the hospital looks like.

[Maddie]

And honestly, like, I don't know, Monday morning, like 9am or whenever I went, like, it was the easiest. I walked in. There wasn't one single person in the entire waiting room. I walked in, they walked me right in. Like, there was no one there. It was like they were waiting. They're, like, happy to see someone.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

And then I was kind of like, I was there for a couple hours just getting an iv and I'm like, not that I want anyone to, you know, be in pain or have. But I was like, it's kind of hoping there'd be more, like, Grayson animatype stuff going on, like some drama. Gunshot wound or like, you know.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

Nothing.

[Fran Mariano]

No, nothing. Yeah, you know, they were probably like, Monday morning. Oh, God, this guy's coming in. Oh, he's just food poisoning. All right. Easy day.

[Maddie]

No. Yeah, the nurses were funny. Some of them. She was like, I don't know, maybe it's too graphic. No, she was just like, so you were throwing up last night? I was like, yeah. And she's like, diarrhea. And I'm like, yeah. And she's like, at the same time, I'm like, pretty close. She goes, was that fun?

[Ria Ciuffo]

And I'm like, no, no, ma'am, it wasn't.

[Maddie]

And then she's like, don't drink. And I'm like, what? Like, I thought she. I don't know why I thought she was talking about alcohol. So I'm like, yeah, obviously. Like, why would I be drinking? Yeah, I'm not drinking. And then she walked by, and I was like, drinking out of my Gatorade. And she's like, I told you not to drink. And I'm like, thought you meant alcohol.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, yes, because you'd be drinking alcohol in the hospital.

[Maddie]

Well, that's why I was confused.

[Fran Mariano]

Like, do you think, like, maybe you were thinking maybe she meant when you go home, like, don't drink?

[Maddie]

I think she just meant there because I don't.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

I don't know why, like, maybe.

[Fran Mariano]

I don't know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

That doesn't help.

[Fran Mariano]

I don't know if the alcohol is serving up old fashions for you, but.

[Maddie]

Yeah. So shout out to all the nurses and doctors. I feel like I was like, I had, like, a heart surgery or something.

[Fran Mariano]

Saved your life.

[Maddie]

Mount Sinai. Which, honestly. So I went to the urgent care. That's, like, right across the street. Because I'm like, if I can go there, whatever. And they were like, well, we're not gonna be able to, like, do anything for you for, like, a couple hours. And the lady was like, I. Like, my assistants aren't here, so I don't know how to work the computer or anything. And, like, I don't know, like, how to. And I'm like, I'll just. I'm like, where's the hospital? She's like, it's actually not too far from where I am. And so I went there and, yeah, it was lovely experience.

[Fran Mariano]

And your daddy visited you.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Five stars.

[Fran Mariano]

Well, that was a nice five stars.

[Maddie]

Well, you guys texted me last night.

[Fran Mariano]

Well, no, I.

[Ria Ciuffo]

We leave a Yelp review. We were.

[Fran Mariano]

We were sitting in here, and I was joking with Sarah and Maddie, and I was like. I was like, I know Noah went by himself, but what are the chances? We think one of his parents showed up at the hospital for his food poisoning. And I was like, maddie, ask if he brought his mom with him.

[Maddie]

Well, my. So I actually, yeah, my. My mom was like, do you want me to come in? I'm like, no, don't. Like, what are you going to do? Like, if you come in, like, don't drive into the city for this.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

And then my dad, like, works. Just happens to work, like, a few blocks away from the hospital I'm at, so he just. He stopped by. I had already been there for, like, an hour.

[Fran Mariano]

If he's working nearby, checking on his kid, that makes a ton of sense.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I was just thinking to take you.

[Ria Ciuffo]

To the hospital, there's a difference between, like, having somebody come see you and, like, not being able to get to the ER without your mom taking you.

[Fran Mariano]

I mean, but here's the thing. Like, there are plenty of circumstances where, yes, I would want my mommy to take me to the hospital before I went to the hospital in this circumstance.

[Maddie]

Before I went, and I was still like, like, pretty bad that morning. And I was on the phone with my mom, and she's like, oh, like, I wish I could just, you know, like, come and take care of you. Like, I was like, you could if you want to come. You're right, Murray. You know, just sit in the apartment.

[Fran Mariano]

You're right. You're right. Well, I'm glad. I'm glad you're feeling better, Noah. There's actually no worse feeling than that. Really? So awful. So happy you're back and happy you're feeling better. How's everybody else feeling, Gran?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Great. I didn't have any food poisoning, so I feel lovely. Slept well, caught up on some tv, and that's really about it.

[Fran Mariano]

All right, nice.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I did not have anything. Nothing crazy on my Monday night. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

All right, well, let's get into.

[Ria Ciuffo]

How are you?

[Fran Mariano]

I'm dandy, honestly. I'm really dandy. I'm going to pick up or go try on my wedding dresses today, which is very exciting. And. Yeah. And then, you know, gonna take a little break from all the wedding stuff until January comes around because, you know, we have the break coming up, so gonna get. Get the dresses, try those on and hope for the best.

[Ria Ciuffo]

They keep them at the store for you.

[Fran Mariano]

It's gonna depend on whether I use their.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, the tailor.

[Fran Mariano]

Their tailor or want to take it back. I'll probably leave it there and use their tailor. Yeah, that seems like the easiest option. But I'm so excited. I can't wait to try them on. I hope they fit. And that's all you can really ask for. And, you know, I haven't, like, looked at other dresses or anything. Cause, like, once I picked mine, I was like, I don't want to see anything else because I don't want to, like, second guess myself. No. So I've just been going back and looking at the pictures I took that day, and I'm so excited to try them on. And then it's like, so soon. It's like right around the corner. Because my bridal shower is the second week of January and then. Yeah, it's like a month away.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yes, it's about exactly a month.

[Fran Mariano]

Yes, it is. So I'm super excited for that. But going to take a little. A little, you know, couple weeks. A couple week breather from wedding stuff while we go on. Go on a break and go on vacation.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

You know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

All right, let's get into the rest of the topics for today. We are going to be talking about the Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly split. Very, very unfortunate. Ariana Grande and Paul Mes Cult do the variety actors on Actors Talk about the wicked stuff. We also have an update on the holding space fortifying gravity situation from Ariana and Cynthia themselves. And we're going to talk about that weird little stint Tyler Cameron. Tyler Cameron had on his Instagram where he revealed a fight between him and his girlfriend that he definitely should not have revealed. And we'll get into the pop corner where we answer your voicemails. So let's get into it. Starting off with the topics. So it seems like Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have split up just months before they are welcoming a child into this world. I can't say I'm shocked. I Thought that they were broken up before. And then when Megan Fox announced she was pregnant, I go, I was like, oh, they're together, right? And now they broke up, like these two. And. And Megan Fox added herself on caller Daddy. Because I remember Alex asking, like, if they were together. And it kind of seemed like a situation where she was like, we're always going to be in each other's lives. I'm just not sure if it's gonna to be, like, romantically in a relationship. And I think that's where they're at. Like, this doesn't surprise me at all. I think, you know, when they have this baby, I could see it coming around where they're back together again for a little while, then they break up again. Like, this is just an on and off couple. Like, they are never going to be the couple where you're like, yes, this is it. They're making it for years and years.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. This is probably just the beginning of what could be a lot of on and off.

[Fran Mariano]

What do you mean the beginning?

[Ria Ciuffo]

It already started being on and off.

[Fran Mariano]

This is the. Where this is ongoing for years.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, I know, but I think now that. I think having a kid, like, they now are 100% intertwined together forever, where it's like, maybe if there isn't a kid, then you break. You. There is a potential to break up and, like, really never have to see or talk to that person ever again with the kid. That's not necessarily the case. They could not speak to each other, but, you know, they're.

[Fran Mariano]

They're gonna have to. They will have to.

[Ria Ciuffo]

They will.

[Fran Mariano]

They're gonna have to find some sort of arrangement. But I do feel like they're like just one of those couples that they're gonna be like, yeah, we're not together, but, you know, we are a beautiful co parenting relationship and that does exist. And I hope that they can figure that out because that would be the right thing for the baby.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It seemed like some drama, though. And whatever happened, they broke up over Thanksgiving. TMZ reported that they were on a Thanksgiving trip in Vail and that Megan allegedly found something on MGK's phone that upset her and caused her to leave the trip early. And then he reportedly dipped out shortly after that and has not been in touch with the actress since.

[Fran Mariano]

Damn.

[Ria Ciuffo]

So that's not good. I wonder what she's not good at all.

[Fran Mariano]

It could be anything, you know?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. I mean, that just screams like fight messages with somebody.

[Fran Mariano]

Maybe some photos or pictures or he was looking at something.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Who knows?

[Fran Mariano]

The the possibilities of what was on MGK's phone could really be endless. And I think the possibilities of what Megan Fox, you know, could get mad at are endless too. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know what kind of relationship they have, but I feel like since it's so on and off, that Machine Gun Kelly doing some sketchy shit on his phone isn't the most surprising thing in the world.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No. And I just, they just have one of those relationships where I bet, like even the littlest things blow up. Not that this, I'm not that I'm saying this was a little thing. Who knows what it was? Could be a big thing. Could have been huge.

[Fran Mariano]

Right.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Like, like she, they could have been back together, happy. They're, you know, she's pregnant, they're having a baby, and like, wham. She finds him sending inappropriate messages. Yeah. I could totally see a world where.

[Fran Mariano]

Machine Gun Kelly's disrespecting Megan Fox who's carrying his child, and she's like, what the fuck? Get out of here.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

You know, like that, that is not a situation.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Or she just leaves.

[Fran Mariano]

That surprises me at all. But I think that we will continue to see these two in the headlines going forward. Whether it's their back together the next day.

[Ria Ciuffo]

They're back together.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, my God, they're, they're so happy. They're, they're welcoming the baby. They're thinking about rekindling.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, my God. Awful relationship. They can't even co parent. Da da da da. Oh my God. They have a beautiful co parent. Really. Like this is going to be a roller coaster that everyone just better, better buckle up for. Including them. They better buckle up for it too because. Yep, it's gonna be a long ride, ladies and gentlemen.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Totally, totally couldn't agree more.

[Fran Mariano]

And I don't think they're keeping their hands and feet inside the vehicle. I think they're swinging all over the place.

[Ria Ciuffo]

These two, their, their, their hands are up in the air.

[Fran Mariano]

Right. They are not, they're riding like they're not relaxed passengers. Yeah. They are not relaxed passengers. They are all over the place.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

So I think this is going to be a constant with these two. But you know what? I hope for the sake of Megan Fox, you know, being pregnant right now, I hope that they can figure it out and have some peace because not saying together, I'm just saying for herself to have some peace because you don't want to be going through a breakup while you're having a baby. Like, I can't imagine any of that is enjoyable.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Totally.

[Fran Mariano]

You know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yep.

[Fran Mariano]

Ariana Grande and Paul Mescal did the variety actors on Actors. Now, I think what they thought they were doing here was a little Margot Robbie, you know, Killian Murphy situation. And this was Glicked. And Glicket never took off.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No. But you know what? Can I. Can I. I have a confession. I. I'd seen this in writing, right? Like, and they. When the premieres were happening, it's like, oh, they're calling it glicked. They're calling it glicked. And I don't know if it's just like, the pronunciation of glicked was not what was happening in my head when I was reading it. When I first saw it, I was like, oh, glicked. That does. And, like, I was like, why Glicked?

[Fran Mariano]

I could see that. I clicked.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. I was like, glicked. I was like, I guess that makes sense. But in my mind, I kept saying glicked. And then when I. This was when I heard glicked come out of Ariana Grande's mouth, I was like, mmm, yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Made a lot more sense.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Glicked. Yep, yep, yep. Why in my head was I reading that as Glicked? Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

No, that makes sense. Because it's like, click. Like I said click.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, it was just. Yeah, it just, you know, it just. Because Barbenheimer was such, like, two separate words, clearly. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And just like. And long. It had. It has a very different effect than glicked.

[Fran Mariano]

Feel like it could be. It can be a word for something.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, right, right.

[Fran Mariano]

Like a verb.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Wickedator.

[Fran Mariano]

No, no, I like licked.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Glicked.

[Fran Mariano]

Licked. Although it didn't take off.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Wicked.

[Fran Mariano]

No, no, no.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, it's. It's glicked. It's clicking.

[Fran Mariano]

I don't think licked took off in the way that Barbara. Not even close. Not even in the same stratosphere. It didn't even. Nobody was talking about Glicket. I think one day someone said, oh, damn, Gladiator 2 and Wicked are coming out the same weekend. Boom. And that was really the extent of it. But it wasn't the situation that Barbie and Oppenheimer had at all. Like, people weren't doing double features of. I mean, sure, somebody did out there do Gladiator.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. No, but it was. It was. But it's happening.

[Fran Mariano]

It was not even clear close. Like, it was not really.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No. You know, no, but I will say it was happening. I did see people. Like, I saw people talking about some.

[Fran Mariano]

People, but it really wasn't.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It's just Gladiator 2 just also isn't the movie that Oppenheimer was like. I just think Oppenheimer was such a, I mean, critically acclaimed, award winning movie, you know?

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

And I think people like Gladiator too, for sure. But I think it's different when it's maybe because it's a sequel, you know, it just doesn't have like the. Barbenheimer was two, like original movies. Not that. I mean, Wicked is obviously based on a musical, but it's not a sequel.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. It didn't have to play. It didn't have the play. Yeah, it just doesn't have it, you know, and that's okay. They tried to make it happen.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Radiator.

[Fran Mariano]

No, it sounds like Radiator, but you have a speech impediment.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I feel like there's not enough Wicked in that. You know, you're just taking the. Wow.

[Maddie]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

There needs to be more of a. More of a split.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. I think that, you know, Ariana and Paul, they're probably aware of this. They're probably like, listen, we both have a great career and great movies, but we're not getting Barbenheimer level with this. Right. You know?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Well, and that is true. And also in the fact that they. I remember it felt like when all the Barbie Oppenheimer press was going on, they were being asked about each other. And I don't feel like these guys were necessarily being asked about each other.

[Fran Mariano]

There wouldn't really be enough space for that because you're holding space for something else. We were, we were, we were not holding space for Gladiator 2.

[Ria Ciuffo]

But they, they're laughing about it now that they're doing actors on actors. It was, it's. That's a good pairing. It's a good pairing.

[Fran Mariano]

It is a solid pairing. And Paul brought up the Wicked press and Ariana was like, you know, we're insufferable. We're very annoying. I think they're super self aware about how the Wicked press has come across to a ton of people and they're crying and their emotions and you guys know how we feel about it. I've defended the two of them and how they feel about their performance in the movie and why they're so emotional. But seeing them moving on to the next thing with the holding space for Defying Gravity, seeing Ariana and Cynthia talk about how they had no idea what was happening in that interview is so fucking funny because that's what makes things even more real. Right. Like, I feel like a lot of times when you're watching actors do press. Sometimes you're like, I can't relate to these movie star superstar actors. They're, they're not relatable, but they're. But I feel like Ariana Grande can be really funny and seeing like Cynthia Revo, you know, have that as well, just makes you feel like I'm really, I'm like, oh my God. I'm relating to them even more. Being able to laugh about how the fact that they were like, we had no idea what was happening in this interview and Ariana Grande was like, I didn't know what was happening. I just knew I wanted to be here and I wanted to be a part of it. And it's like there's, there's something so relatable about just like wanting to be in the room or wanting to be a part of something that is a big moment that you really just have no idea what's happening.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It was very funny because even just Ariana's like, from the beginning I didn't know what was happening and still didn't know what was happening. And it felt like Cynthia was like, I thought we were talking, like, I thought I knew what she was saying and then, and then I don't think I did. And then she said, queer media. And I was like, am I, am I that? Like, am I Like, it was just, it was all very, very funny. It just like what's going on in their brains because you know that they, they're a well oiled machine, those two. When it came to press, like they were going into interviews, they were crushing it. They were answering the questions, they were doing what they needed to do. But this was a good insight into like, what is going on in their brains because at certain points they must just be like, what the is happening here? Like, what am I doing? But it's just like interview after interview after interview. So like they probably don't even necessarily think about it that much. And then they went back to look at it and they were like, yeah, what? What?

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, it is, it is so funny. I bet that their group chat is just hysterical right now because they've talked a bunch about the group chats that they have as a cast. And I can imagine when those memes were going around about holding space for divine gravity, it was probably so fucking funny. So honestly just, yeah, I think it made everybody else feel a lot more normal.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Even though I tried to, like, I felt like I knew what she was talking about, maybe I didn't. I was like, damn, I think she's just saying, like, people are just trying to relate to the lyrics.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

And I'm like, damn, am I a fool? Because. Because both Ariana and Cynthia didn't know what the fuck she was talking about. But I'm sitting here being like, obviously, she's talking about relating to the lyrics of Divine Gravity.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It is. Yeah, I guess. And I think that's what Cynthia originally thought she was saying.

[Fran Mariano]

And then, like, what it was.

[Ria Ciuffo]

But then I think Cynthia was like, I didn't know why. Like, then why she was like. But then, I don't know, maybe just from the way I've felt Cynthia was talking about it is like, that's how she originally interpreted it.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

And then it was like. And then the interview being like, you know, well, why I'm in queer media. And then I think Cynthia was like, wait, are we talking about different things now?

[Fran Mariano]

Right?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Like, what's. Am I not under. Fully understanding what you're trying to tell me?

[Fran Mariano]

Yes. Yes. Okay. That makes a.

[Ria Ciuffo]

She's like, is there a depth to this that I'm not quite picking up? Or are you just telling me that everyone's, like, really resonating with the lyrics?

[Fran Mariano]

Right, exactly. Which was just so funny. If you haven't watched the clip, you know, I know. Can we edit in the clip for people to hear it? Okay, we'll edit in the clip for people to hear.

[E]

I was surprised because I was like, I had no idea because I haven't been looking. I mean, it's been happening on some platforms.

[F]

She's like, well, yeah, I mean, I guess.

[E]

I mean, I guess I've seen it. Yeah, that's really powerful. I had no idea that this thing was going on. I didn't know that that was happening.

[F]

So I didn't know what any part of it meant.

[E]

That's really powerful.

[F]

I didn't understand the first sentence I've seen this week.

[Fran Mariano]

People are taking the lyrics of defying gravity and really holding space with that and feeling power in that.

[F]

And then I definitely didn't understand what was happening. How you responded. I was like, oh, what did she say? And what did you hear? And I just wanted to be there because I knew something big was happening and I didn't know how to be there.

[E]

I didn't know that was happening. But then after a while, I didn't know how to be there.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[E]

That's why I wanted.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Mm. Yeah.

[F]

She said something that meant something to her. It meant something totally different to you.

[Fran Mariano]

Yes.

[F]

And then she tried to kind of get somewhere else.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

And the craziest thing was, I remember in the moment asking myself, am I okay? Did I not hear something? And I was like, am I?

[Ria Ciuffo]

I was like, Cause she looks like.

[F]

She'S about to cry again. And I'm gonna grab this because I think you might need something. And I don't know what the tapping.

[E]

Was about, but that tension. Tension.

[F]

That happened. Yeah, that happened. I was like, oh, shit, something's happening.

[E]

She had said that she was seeing it because she was in queer media.

[Ria Ciuffo]

You know, I am in queer media.

[E]

And I was like, I honestly didn't know what that meant. And am I also in queer media? Maybe we are.

[Fran Mariano]

Great work.

[E]

Let's both be there.

[F]

It was so beautiful. I just am glad. I feel really relieved that the world had the same experience with this moment that I did. Because I felt like, oh, I'm not.

[E]

Broken, but I do love how the world has gone with it.

[F]

I felt so relieved.

[E]

My favorite is the Gay Men's chorus singing, we're really holding space for that.

[Fran Mariano]

Really holding space with that. And feeling power in that.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I haven't seen that.

[Maddie]

I love that one.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It's so good.

[E]

It's really great.

[F]

Yeah, well, I've seen it.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I've seen it on a couple posts.

[E]

And also just, like, articles, I mean.

[F]

Yeah, well, I've seen it.

[E]

You've seen it.

[F]

That's the craziest part. For me.

[E]

It's good. I love that it's become vernacular now, which is really fun that people are constantly saying, I'm really holding space for that. I want a T shirt with holding space on that. With that.

[F]

That's when you knew it was something. When the next day, Evan Ross Katz texted me and was like, do you want this shirt? I got two for you.

[Maddie]

What?

[E]

He has a shirt?

[Ria Ciuffo]

He has two shirts.

[G]

Is there a shirt?

[F]

Yes, he's got it.

[H]

Please can I have.

[F]

It's on its way.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Thanks to. Oh, my gosh. I was like, oh, what's that?

[E]

Oh, perfect.

[F]

The best thing to do is really to hold space with that.

[Maddie]

During that interview, I was in the other room.

[E]

Hilarious.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No idea.

[H]

The world was changing.

[F]

But he felt a magical.

[Maddie]

I did feel. I was like, it's happening over there. My finger is itching.

[E]

Like, it now is, like, vernacular. I love that because you're feeling my vibes.

[Maddie]

That scratches the itch.

[Ria Ciuffo]

She's like, I'll send you the shirt. Like she was like Evan Ross Katz made shirts. And she was like, don't worry, I've already, I've ordered them. Like they're being sent for us. Don't worry. So good of the like little heart of them holding the. Of her holding Cynthia's finger. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Ariana being like, I knew like I was like trying to be there for you and just like daintily held her finger which was so good.

[Maddie]

Did you watch him on SNL at all?

[Ria Ciuffo]

I actually didn't.

[Maddie]

From everything I saw, he seemed actually very funny.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

I have to get like. I feel like I don't know him that well, but he seems funny.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. No, I didn't see.

[Ria Ciuffo]

He's got that natural Irish charm, you know.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. Right now I'm. It is. I did see one clip actually where he was like, you know, I'm known for my funny roles and it was just like a montage of all him like crying and stuff. My feed is now a bunch of Timothee Chalamet, SNL stuff. Like, old. I think because Timothy Chalamet had a big weekend with the college game day, and now I'm just getting fed old Timothy Chalamet skits.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. That's so fair.

[Fran Mariano]

It's just that that's my feed right now.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I'm getting. I think I am kind of on Paul Mess. Paul Mescal talk, where I'm like. I'm getting a lot of, like, Gracie Abrams, Phoebe Bridger's Paul. Oh, the lore between the three of them.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm not like a Paul girl.

[Ria Ciuffo]

That's so fine.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

At all. That's so fine. Like, I. I think I would. I think I would say I am.

[Fran Mariano]

You are.

[Maddie]

I don't if it came down to Paul or Timothy.

[Fran Mariano]

Timothy.

[Maddie]

Oh, wow.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Paul.

[Maddie]

Like, in terms of looks or just, like, overall everything.

[Fran Mariano]

I think something about Timothy's personality.

[Ria Ciuffo]

He seems like a fun time for sure, but I am just not like I'm going full superficial route. Paul's just got it more for me than Len. Timothy.

[Fran Mariano]

I don't.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I don't. The sex appeal for Timothee Chalamet is just. I get it for other people. It's just not. It's not there for me.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. And I think that's. That's me with Paul.

[Ria Ciuffo]

He's too skinny.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Love him, but, you know, he's a skinny guy.

[Fran Mariano]

He is very skinny. I don't have a single bone in my body that has any sort of attraction to Paul Mezcal.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Really?

[Fran Mariano]

None.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, man. I think he is.

[Fran Mariano]

And. And I've had this conversation with Kelly Keeks, too, because she's a big paw guy. She was like. She knew. She's like, he's just not your type. And I was like, no. Really? Not at all.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like the whole.

[Fran Mariano]

It might be also the role. All the roles he played as well, that I'm just like, yeah. Not drawn fair. You know, he's an incredible actor. I'm not saying I'm not drawn into his roles. I'm just not like.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

You know, I mean, not saying I am with Timothy either.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Completely.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm not, like, over Timothy.

[Ria Ciuffo]

But you like your Italians. You know, I do. And, you know, he's. He's Irish. He's got it. He's an Irish guy. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

That's what I think.

[Ria Ciuffo]

That's what really, like Irish.

[Fran Mariano]

I mean, my fiance is. He's Irish and Italian, but he's way more.

[Ria Ciuffo]

He leaned in way more to the Italian.

[Fran Mariano]

He's way more Italian than He is Irish, you know, same with my husband. And so it's like, you know, I just got that, you know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

You know, I guess.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Do you find an Irish accent sexy?

[Fran Mariano]

Not at all.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yes. Yeah, I do.

[Fran Mariano]

I guess Paul Mescal's not wearing a backwards hat and a chain and a Long island accent, so. Well, friend, the only accent I find sexy is Long Island. Okay. Excuse me.

[Ria Ciuffo]

As deep as you can get, as.

[Fran Mariano]

Strong as it gets. All right.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, no, I'm kidding.

[Fran Mariano]

But no, I've had to go, like sexy accents. I'm not putting Irish up there. I would say like, you know, classic British.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. But like proper British.

[Fran Mariano]

Like, like Harry Styles.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

You know, I like the way Harry talks. Yeah, yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Manchester, Right. So like northern.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm like, not really, you know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm going back to. To London.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

For a third time in two weeks. And I don't know, you know, I couldn't tell you. Yeah, north, south, east, west, totally fine. But yeah, I guess I actually never talked about that. I'm going back to London.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Because we're going with Matt's whole family because they were like, you know, when, you know, we want to take a big trip as a whole family, like, who knows if it, you know, if his brother and sister in law start having kids, whatever. And we were trying to look at like warm destinations and, you know, Ria stuff. The warm destinations were hard, like incredibly hard to find something with availability, like, for not absurd prices. Like, it was insane. And we started looking months ago. You know, Ria stepped in and was like, what if we embrace the cold?

[Maddie]

And it's not even that cold.

[Fran Mariano]

And. No, it's not. It's gonna be like high 40s, low 50s.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

But I was like, you know, like.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It would be so fun.

[Fran Mariano]

We go to. We'll go to London. We'll stop in Paris. Why not? I know we've gone a bunch already and they're like, you don't want to go anywhere else. And I was like, I'm just throwing it out there. And everyone was like, you know what, that does sound really fun. Why don't we do it? And we were going to do. Because we love London so much and it's really become like a place where we feel like we've had a ton of special moments. We were going to throw London in at the end of our honeymoon and then we decided against that because we were like, we want to experience other places.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

So we were like, you know what? We'll go and it'll Be a break from London after this third time, but we'll go Christmas. I was, I was like, I just want to really see London.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No. And that's your year. You're going at such a great time.

[Fran Mariano]

I was like, how? Like, oh my God, the magic of going to London at Christmas time. And the whole family was sold.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I told, actually, I told, I told Joe's sister that you were going for Christmas time. She's like, oh, she's gonna fucking love it. It's that time.

[Fran Mariano]

I can't wait. And like his, his whole family is like, we want you to like to me and Matt, like, we want you guys to like plan out, like you come over the itinerary, like you pick the spots, like, whatever. So I literally sent them everything on Sunday.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Matt and Ria's London tour.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, no, we're taking them on a London tour. And I sent them a whole thing on Sunday and I was like, all right here. And they were like, wow, we feel so relaxed. We don't gotta fucking lift a finger with all the planning you've done. But we just put our heads together and we were like, how can we make your family have the best trip possible? And I can't wait. They're also like, his family is so much fun and they just love to, you know, eat, drink, have a good time, laugh. So it's like the best combination to have time. Best combination to have a good vacation together.

[Ria Ciuffo]

The Christmas decoration.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, I can't wait. So I, I've. I've honestly been hesitant to say I was going back to London because I thought people were gonna be like Rhea a third time and.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, I think people understand.

[Fran Mariano]

I just.

[Ria Ciuffo]

We just really, like, this is our.

[Fran Mariano]

Second time this year. And then we went once in 2023. But we just love it so much and it's really become such like a special place for us that like, as a couple, we're really.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It's really not like a crazy place to go.

[Fran Mariano]

No, it's like.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, yeah, it's like a six hour flight. Yeah, it's just, it's not. And it's a bit. And it's a, it's a city. Like, it's not like you guys are going off the grid, like, and you love it so much, right?

[Fran Mariano]

No. And this is like, I guess sort of cheesy, but this is how we feel. We were like, how special is it to like ring in the new year, the year we're getting married in our favorite place? Like, that's so special.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Engagement pictures. Yeah, it's like, you guys, the only.

[Fran Mariano]

Thing we're not doing is getting married in London.

[Ria Ciuffo]

London holds a special place in your heart.

[Fran Mariano]

It does. So we were like, let's ring the new year of us getting married in London. So I can't wait. But on that, I. Back to the accent.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I'm sorry. On Paul, you'll just. You like a British. I think I used to really like an Australian accent. And then watching Love Island, Australia, like, kind of ruined it for me.

[Fran Mariano]

Zane and Taylor have ruined Australia.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, they kind of have. Also. Are you up to date?

[Fran Mariano]

Yes.

[Ria Ciuffo]

This new bombshell looks just like the guy from Love island, uk, who was with. What was her name?

[Fran Mariano]

Molly and Zach.

[Ria Ciuffo]

And Zach. Yes. Zach. They look ex. This is the Australian version of Zach. They look exactly the same. Yeah, he kind of looks like a knockoff Hemsworth, too, A little bit.

[Fran Mariano]

I think he said that too. He was like, I look like Travis Kelsey and Liam Hemsworth combined.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

But really, I was like. When he walked in, I was like, this looks like Australian Zach.

[Fran Mariano]

Right. I guess there's almost nothing worse than being a knockoff Hemsworth.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, right. I know. I know. Especially when you're like. Especially when you're.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

When you're already Australian. Right, right.

[Fran Mariano]

You know?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. There's something about the accent when you listen to it a lot that I'm like. It's losing it for me.

[Fran Mariano]

Right. And I think I just.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Cool on the girls.

[Fran Mariano]

Yes, it's cool. They sound sick.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I don't know. The guys. It's losing.

[Maddie]

I've almost. I've been watching it, and I almost, like, forget that. It's not. It doesn't pick up for me as much. It's like, I'm almost like. I'm watching Americans, some of the girls.

[Fran Mariano]

It's not as strong.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I would say it goes in and out a little bit, but. Yeah, I don't know, because I'm trying to think of other Irish guys, and I'm like, I guess. I guess. No, you know what I mean?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

Who else is.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Colin Farrell.

[Fran Mariano]

No.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Love him.

[Fran Mariano]

He doesn't do it for me.

[Maddie]

He doesn't do it for you?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, my God. Colin Farrell.

[Fran Mariano]

No, he doesn't do it for me.

[Maddie]

Why? He's like.

[Fran Mariano]

He just doesn't. You know what? Some people do and some people don't. He just doesn't. It's not like, anything against him in the Penguin. That might be it.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

No, it's just like, did he stop watching the Penguin?

[Fran Mariano]

I. It's taking me a really A long time. Because of how, first of all, we. We've been away and now Matt's away for work, so it's like we, like, we got to get in the same. In the same place to watch it.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, Barry, it's not high on everybody's list these days, but Irish Killian Murphy. I like.

[Fran Mariano]

Wait, you know what? I like Killian Murphy. Killian Murphy's asmr. Yeah. His little sleep story on the. Com app. I do like, love it.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, man.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, where were we?

[Ria Ciuffo]

We were.

[Fran Mariano]

We were debating Timothy and we were talking about clicked.

[Ria Ciuffo]

But yeah, then that went into Timothy and Timothy and Paul. Timothy knows ball.

[Fran Mariano]

I kind of love how we had two separate answers.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, that's.

[Fran Mariano]

You know, and I think. I think a lot of girls listening will have. Some will be Timothy and some will be Paul.

[Maddie]

I would put that poll on my story, but I feel like it's like objectively weird for me to put on my story.

[Fran Mariano]

We can put it on tomorrow on Instagram.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Out of context for you.

[Maddie]

Out of context. It's like, why is he. Is that weird to put? Like, is that people are gonna be like, stop pitting men against each other. Well, it's.

[Ria Ciuffo]

What. What's the worst.

[Fran Mariano]

No, they don't do that with men.

[Maddie]

Yeah, they don't do that with men.

[Ria Ciuffo]

What question are you asking?

[Maddie]

I guess. What would the question be then?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, that's like. I mean, the question for us was who are we more attracted to? And that was our answer, I guess.

[Maddie]

Yeah. Cause attraction is just overall.

[Fran Mariano]

But like, it gets specific though. Because like, if you just showed me Timothee Chalamet. No.

[Maddie]

Yeah, like, what if Timothy.

[Ria Ciuffo]

That's why I'm going full attraction. It's not just like a physical.

[Fran Mariano]

But it requires all things. Aspects about that.

[Maddie]

It's only physical. Are you saying Paul.

[Fran Mariano]

I don't like what if Timothy Chalamet's.

[Maddie]

Whole essence, but it's in Paul Mescal's body.

[Fran Mariano]

Let me look at another picture of Paul. Sorry, hold on. I gotta pull up some. I mean, I very much know what he look. No.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Ah, he's a handsome guy. Handsome. He is. He's not.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm not saying by any means that he is not a handsome guy. And you know what? Objectively speaking, I think if you were to put the two of them next to each other, Paul Mezcal is the more attractive.

[Maddie]

Conventionally.

[Fran Mariano]

Conventionally attractive man.

[Maddie]

He seems a lot older than 28. I thought he was gonna say.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I know he's really young. He's Actually, really young and like, he's kind of jacked. Well, he just did. He did Gladiator 2. You see him? He. Have you seen the pictures of him and doing Gladiator 2?

[Fran Mariano]

No, I haven't.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, my God. Maria. That's why everybody loves him, I think.

[Fran Mariano]

I mean, pulled back.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, my God. He's. You haven't seen his shirtless gladiator photos.

[Fran Mariano]

No, I haven't. And now pictures now of Paul Mescal, and I'm feeling like a fool.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I mean, my God. Yeah, he.

[Fran Mariano]

Like a. Like a. I was just more of like a. Thinking like a. Huh.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's taken a.

[Fran Mariano]

It's. It's.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Those are his GQ photos.

[Fran Mariano]

It's taken a while now of us getting to this point. I want to cut out the whole. The role before, you know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No good.

[Fran Mariano]

We keep it. But, yeah, every.

[Ria Ciuffo]

You got to be along for the journey.

[Fran Mariano]

We got to be along for the journey. But I didn't see these pictures.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I think, like I said, I think I was just thinking about. Of him and these are crying roles.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. You're just, like, thinking of, like, normal people. Yes, yes.

[Fran Mariano]

That's what I'm thinking of.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm not thinking of that.

[Ria Ciuffo]

You're not thinking of Gladiator?

[Fran Mariano]

Gladiator. I'm not thinking of him on the COVID of gq. I'm thinking of Timothee Chalamet talking about he's got a bing dong on snl.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I don't know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, you're thinking about him talking ball, you know, making you think of your man. Right.

[Fran Mariano]

Like, he loves sports. I like sports guy.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Look at him up there talking about.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm just like, you know, college football, right. It's like, oh, college football. Like, it's relatable.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Right. He knew those Ohio Bobcats were winning.

[Fran Mariano]

He knew every team was winning. He picked all the right ones.

[Ria Ciuffo]

But, oh, man.

[Maddie]

You think he'll ever do a role where he has to get, like, jacked?

[Fran Mariano]

I don't think his body's capable.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Some people's body are just not capable of getting to that level. I think Timothy Chalamet. I mean, now, like, you know, I don't know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, you're. I get now we're like.

[Fran Mariano]

It's like, now I'm more kind of torn more than anything. I'm not like, anti Timothy now. I think I'm still picking Timothy.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm just now a little bit more open to Paul.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Okay.

[Fran Mariano]

Than I was.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Right. Your eyes Are slightly. A little more open, but I'm. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

But I'm still.

[Ria Ciuffo]

You know what? That's somewhat of a win, right. Paul.

[Fran Mariano]

And who does Paul need me for? His approval? You know what I mean?

[Ria Ciuffo]

It's fair.

[Fran Mariano]

I bet I'm not Paul's taste.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Very fair. So. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

You think Paul likes a girl from Long island who people accuse of smoking cigarettes all the time who doesn't smoke?

[Maddie]

No, I'm sure. I feel like.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Well, I'd actually prefer. He probably loves a girl that smokes cigarettes.

[Fran Mariano]

Well, I don't. So I'm not. So I'm not his side.

[Maddie]

So.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Actually, even more.

[Fran Mariano]

Even more so.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

If Paul Mezcal was around my family, he'd run.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Honestly, it would be so entertaining.

[Fran Mariano]

He'd run.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Are you not entertained?

[Fran Mariano]

No. Literally, it'd be like these creatures from outer space.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Just two completely different worlds that it would actually be so funny.

[Maddie]

Kind of fits in like, wherever he. Like, I could see Timothy Xiaomi.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Xiaomi is more of a chameleon.

[Maddie]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I just feel like he's like, go with the flow.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. He's just like, you know. And then at the end of the day, he's just like a New Yorker. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Like, I just, you know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Coors Light presents To Chill or not to Chill. When your friend bets against your team.

[Maddie]

End the friendship or choose chill because.

[Ria Ciuffo]

You'Re drinking Coors Light with your buddy. Coors Light.

[Maddie]

Choose chill.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Celebrate responsibly. 2024 Coors Brewing Company, Golden, Colorado.

[Fran Mariano]

Well, this is just a long conversation about things that don't really matter, huh?

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, no. But either.

[Fran Mariano]

I think people right now, though, listening are having a couple of it guys right now, and I think people listening are having the same sort of debate.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I'd actually be interested in knowing guy's opinion more than anything. You haven't given your take.

[Maddie]

Oh. I'm Timothy. Timothy?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Really?

[Maddie]

Yeah. Wait, you thought I was? I mean, I. First of all, I'll say I don't.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Sometimes I think guys, like, respect the muscle, you know, or they're jealous. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

[Maddie]

No, no. I don't really know much about Paul, if I'm being honest. I. I don't even know if I've ever seen a movie with him in it. Like, really? What movies has he been in? I don't think I've ever seen a Palm Escal movie.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Did you watch? There was the one that he got. Not like that did so. Well, that did all that. Got those nominations Last year that I'm spacing on the name of. Oh, all of us.

[Maddie]

No, no, I don't think I've seen any movie.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, all of us strangers.

[Maddie]

Many movies.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It looks like After Sun.

[Maddie]

No, I've never seen a movie with him.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm texting a couple guys.

[Ria Ciuffo]

You haven't seen Gladiator 2?

[Maddie]

No, not yet. I will, but I texted a group.

[Fran Mariano]

That has Kelly Keegs in it, and I know she's gonna respond immediately. So I'm really just looking for.

[Maddie]

But Timothy. Like, I just feel like we have more. I'm more thinking in terms of, like, could I be friends with him? And I'm like, we have similar interests. I know he, like, is very into rap. And. And he just. Honestly, he kind of won me over this past weekend with the game day. So I'm just like, this guy. Like, I don't care if he knows football or not. Like, it's just like, he really prepared for this. I respect, like, how much he was prepped for that.

[Ria Ciuffo]

You respect the amount of effort that went into that.

[Maddie]

Even, like, watching his whole press run now for Bob Dylan. I'm like, this guy is, like, very respectful of, like, Bob Dylan. And it seems like he actually cares about the roles that he's.

[Fran Mariano]

Are we about to get France and Timothy side?

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, I do. Hey, I like to. I like. I like his Instagram presence a lot. I think he's pretty. Like, he's, like, actively post on his stories and stuff, which I think is funny.

[Maddie]

Seem like a normal, normal guy.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Totally normal guy. Totally normal guy. And then he dates Kylie Jenner, which just really throws me for a loop.

[Fran Mariano]

It is kind, right? And that's. You're gonna have the people online going, but I guess we can't like Timothy anymore because he's more reasonable.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I was actually gonna say, like, I actually do think that that does put him even more of, like, the I'm just, like, a regular guy category. Because what regular guy isn't like, yeah, Kylie Jenner wants to date me. I'm dating Kylie Jenner.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, of course. But I'm just saying, the haters online.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Now for sure.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, I say that Isaac Gonzalez. No, I'm so true. Yeah. What about Sarah? And I would stick with Paul.

[Fran Mariano]

Master. You guys have a choice on Timothy or. Oh, I was going to say.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I was going to say, there's no way Maddie's a Timothy girl. Mac. I imagine Maddie going, oh, I could. I could break him like a toothpick.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, right.

[Ria Ciuffo]

That's exactly Exactly.

[Fran Mariano]

Too skinny. Yeah. Oh, okay. Tommy smoke said Chalamet easy, capital letters.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

And then he said, I'm low key Shalom stand.

[Maddie]

So it sounds like guys lean more towards Chalamet and girls lean more toward Mezcool.

[Fran Mariano]

And then Tommy wrote us. Mezcal does nothing for me whatsoever. It's like you took the words out of my mouth.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Well, I also think for people like Tommy, sometimes it's like they're like, you know, another fellow, skinny, funny guy.

[Fran Mariano]

He said, chalamet is everything I want to be.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Exactly. That's. That's. That's where that makes a lot of sense. That makes a lot of sense.

[Fran Mariano]

That is so smart. Like, Tommy could never be Paul Mezcal, not that he could ever be Timothee Chalamet either.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I'm actually curious what Gio would say about this, because she loves both of them.

[Fran Mariano]

Should I text her right now?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, yeah. She's actually a big. She's a big fan of both of them, so that's.

[Maddie]

I also feel like I literally brought.

[Ria Ciuffo]

A Paul Maskel blanket to go see Gladiator 2 in the theater.

[Maddie]

Has he, like, new on this? Like, what, he's only been in five movies or, like, six movies?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Like, no, he's been in.

[Maddie]

He's really, like, when I search him up, it's.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It's normal. People, like, this huge.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, this is a.

[Ria Ciuffo]

This is a very Daisy Edgar Jones. There's so much behind that. And then he's just also one of those, like, young, hot Irish actors that, like, I think his dating his personal life was very interesting to people. Like I said, once again, the Phoebe Bridgers to the. With the Bo Burnham stuff and now Gracie Abrams.

[Fran Mariano]

Very matte response. I had to look up mezcal, but 100% Chalamet.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Maddie]

I feel like people don't really g row.

[Fran Mariano]

Omg.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. It's an impossible choice. Gia.

[Fran Mariano]

Gun to my head, Timmy.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Wow. Wow. Big ups for team Timothy right now.

[Fran Mariano]

Kind of need Kelly to come in and respond with a big Paul Mesmer.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, she will eventually. She will eventually. But Tommy's.

[Fran Mariano]

Now that's like, I opened up the floodgates. I want to be friends with Chalamet more than I want anything in my life.

[Maddie]

I couldn't see them like, okay, so.

[Ria Ciuffo]

So Tommy's got Chalamet posters in his room for sure.

[Fran Mariano]

He. And he has. He, like, he just has heart eyes all over Timothee Chalamet.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. That was fun to pull everybody.

[Fran Mariano]

It was fun to pull everybody and I will say, although I, you know, I am Team Chalamet.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

My eyes are open to Paul a little bit more.

[Maddie]

Club Chalamet.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I am Club Chal Chalamet.

[Fran Mariano]

Imagine right now, I revealed my identity. Imagine my sister revealed her identity as Club Chalamet.

[Maddie]

Club Chamber is probably gonna have something to say about this.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. Or that's where club mascot.

[Maddie]

Nobody wins. It's gonna be a problem.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Club Xiaomi is just the greatest.

[Fran Mariano]

It's gonna be close.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Club Chalamet is really the greatest thing that's ever happened.

[Fran Mariano]

Hit the airwaves.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

The Internet waves.

[Maddie]

How aware do you think he is of that?

[Fran Mariano]

Very.

[Maddie]

I feel like he's, like an online guy.

[Fran Mariano]

I mean, he showed up his own lookalike contest.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Do you think Paul would show up to his own lookalike contest?

[Maddie]

You think Club Xiaomi was at the lookalike contest?

[Fran Mariano]

Yes. Yes. No, I do. Hi.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Right now, Club Chalamet is just retweeting all the positive reviews for a complete unknown.

[Maddie]

I'm very excited to see that.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, that was.

[Maddie]

He's gotten a lot of the soundtrack came out. Have you?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, no. But these headlines are great. This one's Variety. Timothy Chalamet is uncanny as Bob Dylan. And James man goes offbeat in incandescent biopic Deadline. Timothy Chalamet astonishes as young Bob Dylan.

[Maddie]

I would love if he won. Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Wow.

[Fran Mariano]

We. We know you and Tommy are gonna be leading the charge for Timothy.

[Maddie]

It sounds like more like he's, like, in love with him. I'm just like, we could.

[Ria Ciuffo]

We could hang Oscar asking the question, when was the last time this happened where a best actor nominee also had his two films in which he was a lead actor in make the best picture Best motion picture list job at the Golden Globe since it's a. A complete unknown and Dune Part two were both. We're both nominated. There's also this picture. She's debating changing her profile pic. Why do I want to make this my new profile pic?

[Fran Mariano]

She said, stick with what works club.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Yep.

[Maddie]

He does have, like, a new look going on. What do you think of that?

[Ria Ciuffo]

He does.

[Fran Mariano]

Well.

[Ria Ciuffo]

He's got that little stash going. I like.

[Maddie]

I think he looks better.

[Fran Mariano]

I actually do like his haircut in the stash.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, I do too. I think.

[Fran Mariano]

But listen, Timothee Chalamet is cool as fuck.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, he is. 100%. Yes.

[Fran Mariano]

And never forget, call me by your name is what wrote me in. And then a week later, Armie Hammer got.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, yeah. Yep, yep. And that Was the end.

[Maddie]

Did you see, like, him. Him and Matthew McConaughey reunited, I love. Because.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. He's by his dad.

[Maddie]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Movie dad Cooper.

[Maddie]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

That's nice. The more we talk about Timothy, it's like raving reviews about.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, it really is. I mean, there's really not a negative thing.

[Maddie]

But, like, has anyone ever said anything bad about him? Like, he seems just like universally loved.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I mean, no, I don't know anything.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, I think he's got that going for him right now for sure.

[Fran Mariano]

I hope I'm going to fucking jinx.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Boy, do I hope we didn't jinx this for him.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, Timothy's going to be pissed if we do. He's going to be real pissed at us. Oh, God. No, no, no, not again. Not again.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No. Okay, we finished recording. We're jumping back in for two seconds because now Kelly is in Ria's chair. Rio. Kelly. Rio was so adamant that you would be like, Paul, Paul, Paul. And you came in here and you said, no, no, no.

[H]

I passed her in the hallway and she said, you weren't answering my text. Paul or Timothy. And I was like, Timothy without even a.

[Ria Ciuffo]

But I thought, oh, my God. And she was.

[H]

She said, you go clear your name on the pod. Over and over again. Said you were Paul.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I'm glad you came in here because the episode would have came out. No, no, we were like. It was like, she's Paul.

[H]

I might be like the, like the original Timothy. Like, I've been loving Timothy since Call.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Me by your name.

[H]

Like that.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, I said.

[H]

I mean, like, I.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It was a tough. It was a tough answer for Gia, too.

[H]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

She said. Gunned her head to me. It's.

[H]

The thing is that I do love Paul very much. I think he's extremely hot. I think they're both extremely hot in different ways.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[H]

But I think that Paul needs to earn his stripes. I love him in normal people. Gladiator doesn't really do it for me. Yeah, he's hot.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, I see his body.

[H]

He's hot. But other than that, you know, he needs to. He needs to worm into my heart.

[Ria Ciuffo]

A little bit more.

[H]

Timothy's been there for years and.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, you're talking just straight, like his resume.

[H]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Timothy's resume totally outshines. Yeah.

[H]

He's so charismatic.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I will give him that. Like, you know, he's. He has so many other pro. Like, he's been working for longer, so.

[H]

Just a long time. And also too, he just generally, Timothy is just like, he's he's so charismatic that his face. Like, he's. He's so handsome. Like, he's absolutely one of the most handsome people I've ever seen in my life. So I just love Paul, but it's Timothy for me.

[Maddie]

Timothy.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Okay, well, there we go then. Now we can. Now we can fully end the segment that Kelly has cleared her name.

[H]

Thank you.

[Fran Mariano]

All right, moving on to the last topic. I think this was about two weeks ago. Tyler Cameron was posting screenshots on his Instagram story, conversations with his girlfriend Tate, who is lovely.

[Ria Ciuffo]

She is very lovely.

[Fran Mariano]

Very lovely. And was posting conversations and she was mad that he was going to get ice cream. And he posted this conversation on his Instagram story. And honestly, when I first saw it, I texted Fran because I was like, what is he doing? Why is he posting this? This doesn't seem like a joke. Because when you get hit with the have a good night or have a fun night, that's not a joke. No, that is not a joke.

[Ria Ciuffo]

That's as serious as it gets. That's what I said to you. I said that end of that text message is as seriously pissed as you.

[Fran Mariano]

Can get, for sure. And him hitting with the. Are you kidding? You're mad again? Oh, the things that that would fucking do to my blood. It would be boiling out of my skin if I received a message back like that. Are you kidding? You're mad again? Oh, God, that would piss me off.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Posting that on his Instagram story was one of the bigger bonehead moves from him. And like, I almost, you know, you don't really want to get into other people's relationship. You know, they have their own. Their relationships and whatnot. But in my mind, I was like, do we text him and be like, hey, friend to friend here, delete that, delete that.

[Fran Mariano]

And don't post about another second.

[Ria Ciuffo]

And then he kept posting. He kept posting about it, but then he did the whole, like, Celsius. There was the Art Basel, Celsius pick, whatever it was, Padel or Pickleball, whatever. They were playing tournament on Friday. And he was asked about it there. And he was like, yeah, that was. That was a mistake. Yes. Well, I'm glad you recognized that now, Tyler. That was a mistake.

[Fran Mariano]

Huge mistake. And then she was pissed.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yes, of course she was.

[Fran Mariano]

And she was. He was posted the next day being like, I'm sleeping on the couch. I'm in the doghouse. I'm like, why are you airing any of this out?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Seriously?

[Fran Mariano]

And I gotta be honest.

[Ria Ciuffo]

And he's like, I thought it was funny. That is.

[Fran Mariano]

It's not funny. And I don't find it funny when guys are like, I'm in the doghouse. I'm in the dog house.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, no, no.

[Fran Mariano]

Like, why? Like, figure it out.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

You know what I mean? Figure the shit out.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Like, don't post it online. I hate that shit. And now, like, you're embarrassing her for no reason. Like, there's no need to be airing out. Like, she's pissed at.

[Ria Ciuffo]

You know, that's like a personal text message that you're, like, personal text blasting to millions of people.

[Fran Mariano]

And honestly, yes, getting ice cream is a fun night.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

So. Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

And, like, also, you bet you. You best believe I'm steaming mad if my boyfriend or whoever goes to get ice cream and doesn't tell me that.

[Fran Mariano]

Right.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Like, he's coming back with ice cream and didn't text me to bring me.

[Fran Mariano]

Back something and didn't want to go get ice cream with me.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Like.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Or didn't even offer to be like, hey, babe, like, we're headed to Cold Stone. You want me to bring you back something? Didn't. Didn't seem like he did.

[Fran Mariano]

No, that's offensive. That is straight up offensive.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yep.

[Fran Mariano]

So I'm glad he learned his lesson, because that was a large mistake, and I hope he learned his lesson and not be sharing their fights online anymore, because there's no need for that. Like. Like, especially sharing personal messages.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Right.

[Fran Mariano]

If you want to tell a funny story. Oh, we got into a fight.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Because I went to Cold Stone. I didn't get it. Whatever. That's funny. People can relate. They'll laugh with that when you start sharing text messages with your significant other. Yeah, we got a problem right before.

[Ria Ciuffo]

The premiere date of their big Pottery Barn holiday decor in their home.

[Fran Mariano]

Christmas wonderland in there, Right?

[Fran Mariano]

I'm giving Tate all the credit. Not.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, yeah. So I think that's. I think that's. Honestly.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, I think we should give her.

[Ria Ciuffo]

All the credit for that 100. Give it to Tate. She's been working around now. You know, she's working. Every time Tyler posts, it looks like he's filming Tate working her ass off.

[Fran Mariano]

And, yeah, she's doing all the work and he's going to get ice cream. So props to Tate.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, man. Yeah. Well, Tyler, you learned your lesson, pal.

Yeah, learned your lesson there.

Hi, Rhianne, Fran, this is Gianna. Just thinking about Joe Jonas album release date being pushed back. I feel like it's going to end up just like the book that they were supposed to release. What are you guys thinking?

[Fran Mariano]

Wow, so true.

[Ria Ciuffo]

There's no date. He still hasn't posted a date for Daniel.

[Fran Mariano]

So much time has passed that I forgot about it. Just like the damn book. You're right, Gianna.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It was supposed to come out in October.

[Fran Mariano]

I think him and Shawn Mendes pushed.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Back Oct. 18, but Shawn Mendes eventually put his album out.

[Fran Mariano]

Jojo Joe never living up to the promises and now I don't know where it is.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Well, he said he had other stuff that he was doing for it. I don't really know. I hope it comes out soon because he was teasing this and there are so many tick tocks and new songs and he was playing parts of new songs like we Know that an album is pretty much done. And then Nick was on social this weekend and he posted a clip of, like, a new song that sounded like Nick solo music. So I was like, what. What's. What's going on here, guys? What's happening? You know, what if Nick, like, it sounded like Nick was working on solo music.

[Fran Mariano]

What if Nick puts out an album for Joe?

[Maddie]

What if Nick was like, joe, I'm putting mine up first.

[Fran Mariano]

And the brother and the brothers break up again?

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, not when he's had this. Like, they've had this right to go for so long, it seems.

[Fran Mariano]

Damn.

[Ria Ciuffo]

And Nick Jo. Nick's sounded like very Nick solo music. I can't even play it, can I? Well, it's not out yet still.

[Fran Mariano]

You can't.

[Ria Ciuffo]

God, that's annoying.

[Maddie]

That might even be worse, right?

[Fran Mariano]

I would.

[Ria Ciuffo]

He posted on all his social, so it's like a tick tock sound.

[Fran Mariano]

It's him.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Yeah, it's true. It is him.

[Fran Mariano]

It is his song.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It is him. Yeah. So I don't know.

[Fran Mariano]

Damn, that's a good.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It can end up.

[Fran Mariano]

Thank you for bringing it to our attention, though.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It can't end up like the book, though. Like, that's like, a book is one thing, but a whole ass.

[Maddie]

I almost wonder, solo album, Is it worse that you forgot about it? Like, you're Joe Jonas? Like, is it worse that people forgot you had.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I haven't forgotten.

[Maddie]

You haven't forgotten or like, do you want people, like, demanding, like, where is it?

[Fran Mariano]

I did forget.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, I. People are in his, like, tick tock comments and stuff, being like, where's the album? Where's the album? So, I mean, he talked about other guy that's like chronically online, so he totally sees everything.

[Fran Mariano]

Damn.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

All right, moving on. But damn.

[G]

Tyree and Fran, this is Lexi from Philly. I'm a big fan of the podcast and love listening to you guys every week. It's honestly the highlight of my morning routine.

[Fran Mariano]

Thank you.

[G]

I have a opinion question. Not really sure what it would be, but I've been seeing a lot online that people kind of feel like Glenn Powell is being a little overdone and that he's being kind of shoved in everyone's face. And I'm curious if you think that's the case or if Glenn Powell is finally getting the love and recognition he deserves. That's how I feel because I've loved him since his days on Scream Queens as sad and he finally got his Golden Globe nomination. But I'm curious to hear what you're thoughts are.

[Fran Mariano]

Have a good one.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I. I will never say. I will never say a bad word against that man. He deserves everything he's getting right now. I don't think he's being shoved in. Like, there was a time when there was a few movies that were all coming out, like, bam, bam, bam, or was a lot of Glenn Powell. But recently, you know, he's been off film in another movie. Like, it's been. Not necessarily quiet, but like, the whole Glenn Powell summer thing has. Has sort of come and gone. But he's. He is fantastic.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. I also think that it's not Glenn Powell's fault that he's being, you know, pushed into people's faces when he's just booking those roles. He's booked and busy.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. And they're good ones.

[Fran Mariano]

And who can we fault? You know? No one to blame. Glen Powell. He's getting that recognition and he's getting those jobs, and his face is out there, and who's to complain?

[Ria Ciuffo]

I know. I. Not me.

[Maddie]

I saw when he, like, when all the lookalike stuff was happening, and I think he posted being like, whoever wins gets to be in my movie or whatever. People are like, no one loves being famous more than Glenn Powell.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Maddie]

And it kind of works.

[Fran Mariano]

And. And good. He's a happy guy.

[Ria Ciuffo]

You know how people comment, like, when with influencers and stuff, and they're like, we made the right person famous. Like, that's how I feel with Glenn Powell. Because let's not forget that Glenn Powell has been putting in the work for a long time. Like, he's been acting for a long time. It's not like he just popped out in the last.

[Maddie]

He was in the dark three, four years.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Where he was a teenager acting.

[Fran Mariano]

Right.

[Ria Ciuffo]

So he's been acting for a while. I did see an old tweet of his resurface recently because of the Golden Globes of him and Ariana Grande from Scream Queens, which really just made me happy. Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I mean, Glen Powell has been putting in so much work that he became a Scientologist to make it.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, what? Oh, because of Tom Cruise. Oh, God.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, God. I'm kidding.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Don't put that energy out there for.

[Fran Mariano]

Kidding, kidding.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, he does love Tom Cruise.

[Fran Mariano]

Right.

[Maddie]

But, like, if I. If I work with Tom Cruise, I'm.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Sure Tom Cruise loves you. Who are you to not love him back?

[Fran Mariano]

Right. Tommy. You know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Right. Exactly.

[Fran Mariano]

Moving on.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Exactly.

[G]

What's up, Ria, Fran and Noah. I just saw you guys in Boston and it was awesome. My hot take is That I think Mimi and M from Love Island, Australia, are kind of bitchy. I thought they were really cool until the most recent few episodes where I feel like they're being kind of clicky and excluding some of the other girls. And it's just not really the vibe. So I'd love to get your take on that. Bye.

[Fran Mariano]

I have to say that I actually kind of agree. I was a huge Mimi fan, huge M fan. But all of a sudden, you know, yeah, there are people you're not going to click with in life. Right. Like, the chances of you getting along and being best friends with every single person in that house is probably slim, but you are on a show together. You are living in a house together, and it's nice to be respectful. And it's not very nice to just straight up tell people that you wouldn't be friends with them. I think the line was, like, a little bit crossed there. And yet Hannah, she can come across a certain way, but I think Kayla's been nice.

[Ria Ciuffo]

From what we've seen, Kayla seems very nice. That's where I don't understand. She's. It seems like she's friends with Hannah.

[Fran Mariano]

And Hannah, you know, she is who she is and she's herself. And I don't think she's been. You know, besides a few comments when they replayed, she hasn't been outright, like, so clicky. I feel like Mimi and M are actually more clicky than they are. And when they keep saying that they have that Hannah and Kayla, whatever, have a click, I'm like, I don't know. It kind of feels the opposite. It feels like Mimi, Em and Sophie sort of have a click. And I think they're cool girls, so. But I do kind of agree. I was all in on them. And then the last couple episodes, I've been sort of like, yeah, they're. They are being kind of mean and you are living in a house together and it's. It's not so nice to hear. I wouldn't. Even if it's true, it's not so nice to hear. I wouldn't be friends with you, like, on the outside. And then they just expect everyone to move on from it. But, like, if I'm Hannah and Kayla and I hear that from someone, I'm gonna be like. Like, damn. Like that. That hurts to hear. Now we gotta live in this house together.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, I. There they are having their moments for sure. But I do think that they're not really talking about the. What I would think is some of the real reasons and which is, like, if I was M, I wouldn't want, like, if I'm. Em and Hannah and Taylor are now together.

[Fran Mariano]

Mm.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I'm. I'm not gonna be friends with him. Like, you know, like, we're kind of forgetting the Taylor aspect of it where it's like, now they're a brand new couple. They're, like, all over each other, like, major pda. If I was Em, like, yeah, she likes Mercedes, but at the same time, I'm like, I don't want. I don't want anything to do with you. Sorry. Like, you kind of swooped in there and caused drama with the couple, and obviously for the best, but I think, like, deep down, I'm still. I'm not gonna, like, want to be best friends with Hannah. So I just think that Mimi and Em are, like, so tight that they both feel that way about her. And I guess K. I. I think Kayla, sadly, is just, like, collateral damage because she's friends with Hannah. Because Kayla seems to be lovely, and I don't know why they would have any issues with Kayla, but sometimes M has some, like, outbursts that I'm like, all right, calm down.

[Fran Mariano]

You know, Like, I think it's like.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Some, like, some of her truth bike moments. I was like, all right, just like, relax.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, it does feel like it's. It's get getting a bit clicky.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, totally.

[Fran Mariano]

And I think they're cool girls. I just. I do agree with. I do agree with that. That call.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[G]

Hey, Ran Fran and Noah, I have a hot take. I know you girls loved Wicked. I loved it and I loved how everything was put together. This is Wicked, the movie. I saw Wicked on Broadway last year in New York, and I loved it, but I just didn't think in the movie. I don't want to get dragged to this. That Ariana was as quirky or as silly as we know Glinda to be. I feel like Kristin Chenoweth was so quirky, so funny on Broadway. If you look at the clips or even if you have seen, like, the other actors on Broadway, I feel like Glinda is just so quirky and silly. And while Ariana had those moments, I don't know, I felt like they were kind of feeling far between. I don't know. She did such a great job. Cynthia and Ariana's voices sound amazing together, but I don't know, like, let me know what you guys think. I might be crazy for this, but I don't know, I just didn't think she was as quirky and as Silly as we know Glinda to be. So let me know what you guys think. I know this is a hot take, but I know that's what you guys wanted. So have a good day. Happy holidays. Talk to you later.

[Fran Mariano]

Happy holidays.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I. I disagree. I think everybody, I. There's been so many different Glinda's that every actress has a different interpretation of their Glinda. And some are maybe a little quirkier than others. I think Ariana's is perfect for the big screen. I tend to think that sometimes like those quirky theatrical Broadway moments work so well on stage and sometimes they don't translate as much to like an actual big budget film. Like when they turned it into this movie and that some. Not that they need to be like compressed, but you're just making the movie for a much bigger audience. And I felt like she kept all of Glinda's charm without really tainting it at all. And yes, like, maybe the Broadway Glinda does have. Like there are. But it's just like, that's just more Broadway to me. Like there. Everything's more theatrical when you're on stage. And so is even Elphaba is way more theatrical on stage. You go see, go see the Broadway production. The movie production is just gonna be different.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, that. That is the. Most of the time the case. The difference between theater and on screen work is that they're always told to peel back a little bit on screen. Because when you're watching on a big screen, little emotions can be picked up so much bigger.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Rather than when you're watching on a stage from afar, you have to be bigger so that the audience can pick it up. So I feel like peeling back a little bit was probably. And you're right, there has been so many different versions. So I don't even know really if this is considered peel back. I also, I have not seen Wicked, the play on Broadway in years, like a very long time. So it's hard for me to make that comparison. But I think, you know, it depends on which Glinda that you really like. But I think if Ariana Grande was to go over, then she would be overacting and it wouldn't feel. And we know people would have been.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Like, oh, so cheesy. This is corny, like overacting.

[Fran Mariano]

And even though Wicked, you know, it is all a fictional world, I think even the part of John Chu talking about why the coloring was a certain way is because you want to buy into it. So you kind of. Even though Glinda has her quirks. You kind of buy into her as a person because it's not so absurd that you think no one would ever act this way. You kind of buy into the way of how she acts as a person, so.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, I agree.

[G]

Kyrie and Fran, this is Jill from Columbus. And my hottest take is that the Holiday is not a good movie. I don't know why everyone keeps saying it is. Everyone keeps telling me I should watch it, and every time the holiday rolls around, I just don't like it. Jack Black is the best part of that movie. And Cameron Diaz, her acting is okay, and I just. It's not my favorite, and I don't think it's a great Christmas movie, so would love to hear what you guys think. Love the pod. Thanks. Bye.

[Fran Mariano]

Well, Jill, if there's anything I love, it's a hot take like that.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Stab in the fucking heart.

[Fran Mariano]

I've actually only seen the Holiday, I think, once or twice, so. And I do remember the times that I watched it. I really did really like it. But I love when someone comes in with a hot, fresh take like that. You know what I mean?

[Ria Ciuffo]

It's like.

[Fran Mariano]

It's like they really just don't like the movie. And I can respect that.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Well, Jill, I sometimes feel that when people, like, it's. This is, to me, like, not when. When you go on the defense. And sometimes I'm like, sometimes people look for things not to like in a universally liked thing.

[Fran Mariano]

Mmm.

[Ria Ciuffo]

And I wonder if you're feeling that way about this movie, because what's not to love about this movie? It's a great movie. It is. And Jack, she. She said, jack Black's performance is the best. He is great in that movie. But Kate Winslet's fantastic in that movie. Yes, he's amazing. I mean, he's. He's amazing.

[Maddie]

I did Jude Law.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Come on.

[Fran Mariano]

It's a classic.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Mr. Napkin Head.

[Fran Mariano]

It's a classic.

[Maddie]

It's funny because we had another voicemail submitted on the same day, and it was basically the opposite. We were saying, like, the best movie. No, not the best movie, but, like, that she hated Jack Black.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Well, I actually. I've actually seen so many TikToks.

[Fran Mariano]

I love that take.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I see. I see a lot of TikTok talks of people being like, I love the holiday and I hate Jack.

[Maddie]

How could he not like Jack Black?

[Ria Ciuffo]

I don't know. Jack Black's the least hateable person out there.

[Fran Mariano]

And in life. You think he's the least.

[Maddie]

Maybe not like, I'm talking about, like, his Movie roles. Yeah, movie. His character's like, lovely. How could you not like his.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, his role is fantastic. Poor guy gets cheated on.

[Maddie]

Yeah. And he's just like, he's so nice to the older people.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Oh, my God. He makes a whole jingle.

[Maddie]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah. There's really nothing to not like about him.

[Maddie]

Not maybe, like, maybe like Jim Carrey for me, where it's like, there's something about him. I just don't. I just don't like it.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm with you with the gym. I've always, like, held that taken side. But you said it the other day and I'm with you with the Jim Carrey. Like Jim Carrey for me. I just.

[Maddie]

Nothing about him. Like, no interview, no podcast, no movie. Like, have I ever seen the Truman shows made? The closest thing that I'm like, I like this.

[Fran Mariano]

The Grinch.

[Maddie]

Yeah. I'm just like, there's something about him. I just don't like it.

[Fran Mariano]

You know, his comedy is very facial expressions and things like that. Yeah.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Look, the holiday is a must watch for me every Christmas season. So speaking of Christmas, Joe and I have like a holiday night date night revolves solely around the holiday.

[Fran Mariano]

And Jill is not invited.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No. Nope.

[Maddie]

Did you see who was the actor or actress who. From the Love actually movie that recently was like. Yeah, that scene was creepy. The post the card scene. Because I think someone in the movie said that in the. I keep seeing this now coming up and more and more.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Probably Hugh Grant. No, Hugh Grant doing so much press.

[Maddie]

More and more people are starting to be like, yeah, that was weird.

[Fran Mariano]

And I think it was Hugh Grant.

[Maddie]

The more I think about it, I'm like, yeah, like, if you're just thinking about, like in reality, like, yeah, that's really.

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, every. I think every year people talk about love actually, in a sense that they're like. So they're like. And I think when the younger gen, now that the younger generation watches Love actually like, their take on it is like, a lot of these storylines are actually pretty creepy. Not creepy. They're not like, as oh, Keira Knightley said it, well, she's in it. That's her storyline too.

[Maddie]

And she said she told the director on set that the Cue Card team is creepy.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah, I. Look, you can't blame her for that. She's literally married to this guy's best friend. He shows up and, like, professes his love. The guy's in the other room.

[Maddie]

I think she also said, like, people forget that she was 17 when she found that, which is also kind of.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Crazy and she like, right, Runs out and like, gives him a kiss. Like you're like, oh, right, right.

[Maddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

Hey, PMT listeners, this is PFT here reminding you to pour the roar with proper number 12 Irish whiskey and proper Irish apple straight from the heart of Dublin's district 12 original proper number 12 is a rich and smooth blend of golden grain and single malt aged four years in bourbon barrels. Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger. If you're looking for something different, try proper Irish apple. A delicious blend of proper's award winning Irish whiskey with crisp and fresh notes of Irish apple. Proper number 12 Irish whiskey and proper 12 Irish apple. Two refreshing ways to pour the roar. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

[G]

Hi, Ria, Fran and Noah. This is Lily from Pittsburgh. I am calling to ask if you guys have a favorite pasta shape. This is a question that I ask a lot of my friends. Everyone has a really different opinionated answer, which I think awesome. And I thought you guys would have to have a favorite too. My favorite is rigatoni. My least favorite is cavatappi or a wagon wheel. Oh, and also young and hungry. You can stream for free on the ABC app. Love you guys.

[Fran Mariano]

Bye. Thank you.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Thanks for that little parting tip.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh my God. Great.

[Ria Ciuffo]

So this is a multi layer question because the vessel really depends on what sauce you're serving it in. Yeah, you know, like I have, I love, I love a rigatoni and like I love a spaghetti but like I would much rather have a spaghetti lemon or something like a little like lighter with my spaghetti than like a rigatoni. Give me like a bolognese, like a meat sauce, like something that's a little heavier. You get the big rigatoni. You can scoop up the sauce more and get those good bites. So I feel like it depends on what, on what dish it is.

[Fran Mariano]

I totally agree. I mean rigatoni is just a classic. Obviously I have an unconventional answer. Yeah, tortellini or ravioli is really. But I don't know if people consider those pasta shapes because they're filled with, with. They're filled with cheese, they're filled with other components. Yeah, occasionally I don't see, I don't.

[Maddie]

See torlini on this types of pasta.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I, I like a farfalle.

[Fran Mariano]

Yeah, it's.

[Maddie]

Yeah, I like that.

[Fran Mariano]

It's hit or miss sometimes. If people consider torlinia pasta shape. I love tolini. I will eat tortellini anything. Be like, I'm not going to eat a red sauce.

[Ria Ciuffo]

With tortillini.

[Fran Mariano]

That would be absurd. Usually I'm going spaghetti with red sauce. Oh. In my opinion. But tortellini, I just. I really love tortellini now. If I'm taking tortellini out of it, I love a pappardelle. I love a good pappardelle.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Homemade pappardelle.

[Fran Mariano]

Pappardelle with bolognese and some regal on top is a really beautiful dish to me. I love a pappardelle.

[Maddie]

It's penne just too, like.

[Fran Mariano]

I think. I think you're a fool if you go penne over rigatoni.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Totally.

[Fran Mariano]

Because why are you going to go pen penne if you can go rigatoni?

[Maddie]

That's the main difference.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I like a rigatoni thick.

[Fran Mariano]

It holds more sauce. It holds more to it. I, you know, gets a little bit.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Of a different, like, penne. I don't know any.

[Fran Mariano]

Honestly. My favorite sauce is a vodka sauce. I love anything with vodka sauce. My number one sauce is vodka sauce. So you really put any pasta with vodka sauce and I'm eating it.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

But I would prefer rigatoni. I sometimes make tortellini vodka, though. I'll make raviolis with vodka sauce. I love jumbo shells.

[Maddie]

Shells that's on here, too.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, shells. A stuffed shell. Well, stuffed shell. I love a stuffed shell. But that you're not throwing into a bowl with sauce in it or a plate with sauce. A stuffed shell. You're putting one or two on your plate.

[Ria Ciuffo]

You know, I'll like a. Like a fusili and pesto. I love fusilli is probably not super high on my list. I'd actually probably put farfalle before. I like.

[Fran Mariano]

I like a fusilli. I mean, when you get into stuffed shell territory, then you're getting into monogult as well.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

And now we're just getting into things that may not be considered pasta. Pasta. Right. You know where I'm looking for things that I could shove cheese in.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I went to. We went to dinner Friday, and it was a pasta place in Minneapolis, and I was served. So I did have a glass of wine with my meal, which really was a difference maker. And. But I ordered this like it was a annuli, which I've never really had.

[Fran Mariano]

I love.

[Ria Ciuffo]

But because it's, like, not on a lot of menus.

[Fran Mariano]

Yes.

[Ria Ciuffo]

And it was a stuffed with short rib and polenta. Oh, my God. It was insane. It was so good.

[Fran Mariano]

Any pasta that can be stuffed?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm on board with.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yep.

[Fran Mariano]

I like my pasta and have, like, good substance.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. I think, like, you know, not to just completely agree, but if I were to go number one, I think I have to go rigatoni. Even a mezzo rigatoni. I love the little. The little. The little rigatonis.

[Fran Mariano]

Listen, no shame in loving rigatoni when it's the top choice. How could you?

[Ria Ciuffo]

I agree.

[Fran Mariano]

But let's give it up for some pappardelle as well.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I like.

[Fran Mariano]

Let me just. Sorry to keep going about the pastas. I also love a light angel hair, too, with a light sauce.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Depends on the sauce.

[Fran Mariano]

You know, I love it just something.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Like, it's really light, a little beanie and clams.

[Fran Mariano]

Or maybe you're making a shrimp scampi.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

With like, a little angel hair.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Oh, a shrimp scampi with angel hair.

[Fran Mariano]

Like linguine. You can go. Yeah, maybe if you want it real light.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

And you go in angel hair.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yep, yep.

[Fran Mariano]

You know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yep.

[Fran Mariano]

I'm making shrimp scampi for Christmas Eve. I haven't decided which if I'm gonna go linguine or angel. Angel hair might be a little too thin, but sometimes if the sauce is light. Yeah, the sauce is light enough for an angel hair, and you got the big shrimps. It might just be perfect.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I normally support a thicker pasta with a.

[Fran Mariano]

Listen, it's whatever you like, and I can make whatever my mind puts. You know.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

I can do whatever I put my brain to. So if I want to do angel hair, I could also do angel hair. Really? The options are endless.

[G]

Hi, R. This is Michelle from Austin, Texas. This isn't really a hot take, but I was just curious if y'all could host any of the Bravo reunion, which show would you pick and why? Love y'all.

[Fran Mariano]

That's a good question.

[Ria Ciuffo]

I kind of venture away from the housewives a little, but at the same time, I'm like, would that be, like. I kind of fall into, like, summer house Southern charm territory? Would probably be the ones that I would. Would want to do, but at the same time, like, Beverly Hills would also be great, if I'm certain. Or like Salt Lake City. I'm loving Salt Lake City.

[Fran Mariano]

If we can get one more Vanderpump Rules reunion, I'd want to host that. If we can get all them in the room one more time.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm already kind of, like, eliminating Vanderpump now that it's changing, but if we.

[Fran Mariano]

Can just do one more.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. Even if we could do one more, I still think that wouldn't be my Jersey choice.

[Fran Mariano]

I would do one more of Jersey, too. Get Melissa and Teresa in the same room. Let's duel it out, ladies.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

You got one Italian sitting in the middle of other Italians. Let's do. Let's duel it out.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah. You see, Melissa just launched her own sprinkle cookies.

[Fran Mariano]

They did?

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

That's called marketing.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yep.

[Fran Mariano]

And did you see Teresa do a. A video with Gabriella talking about how to make her cookies?

[Ria Ciuffo]

No, I didn't.

[Fran Mariano]

Oh, gosh. The battle of the cookies. It's that time of the year, really.

[Ria Ciuffo]

It's really endless. Yeah. No, I think I would go. I think I would probably lean towards, like, short, like, summer house, Southern charm.

[Fran Mariano]

Fair answer.

[Maddie]

Yeah.

[Fran Mariano]

Fair answer.

[Ria Ciuffo]

Yeah.
