How are we feeling? Fran? You are back in Chicago. You are time traveling back in Chicago. Had a couple back in Chicago.
Fran
I feel it.
Ria
Yeah. Are you gonna move there?
Fran
I'm thinking about it. No, I've we were back and forth has something to do with the city and then back out here Thursday morning early for the dozen Final Four, which you guys all know who won by the time you're listening to this because it's live Thursday night in the Final Four, it's us, the Grinders, which is Jon Gruden's team, the Marquettes, which is Mark Titus and Nick And KB and Uptown Balls. Tommy, Glennie, Roan, so. And Gruden's got Frank and Jake Malsec on. On the Grinder. So we're playing the Grinders again in the first round. We played them already in the. The first round of the tournament. Beat them. They then had another match after they lost and then won those two. So now they're in the final four. And I'm excited. Like I said, you guys already know if we won or lost, but in this moment right now, I'm excited for another tournament. Here's my very fun.
Ria
It's.
Fran
It's a good, like, mix of new teams, which I think, you know, everyone's excited for.
Ria
Here's my prediction.
Alex
Yeah.
Ria
You kick the absolute living out of the Grinders.
Alex
Okay.
Ria
Yes. You just wipe the floor with them.
Fran
Yep.
Ria
Then Uptown Balls beats the Marquettes.
Fran
Yes.
Ria
And I think it's going to be a close game between you and Uptown Balls.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. They're. They are very, very good. We. We beat them in the regular season championship, but they are a very good team.
Ria
I predict you winning.
Fran
I hope so.
Ria
But I think Uptown Balls is gonna put up a fight.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah. I. I don't want to get too cocky either way because, you know, we could lose.
Alex
All right.
Fran
Early or later, we'll be starting you.
Ria
Now you're wiping the floor with the Grinders.
Fran
Yeah, I'm. I'm. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun time. And then right back to. Right back to New York tomorrow or, you know, whatever it is Friday. And we only. Only have so many more days before the gals are headed to London, which we're freaking pumped about. We have a few days in London. I'm going for the first time. Rhea's taking my London virginity.
Ria
Can I say it is an absolute honor to be taking something so big from you.
Fran
Yep.
Ria
But I have to say this. I was so nervous this morning. I think I gave myself a stomachache thinking about it.
Alex
Uh.
Ria
Oh, I just don't wanna let you down. I have been. I. I've been talking about how this is my favorite city for years. And sometimes a place is special to somebody. It might not hit the same for somebody else, and that is completely fair. But I just wanna show you a good time. And I just. I'm really. I'm feeling a lot of pressure about it because I really just want you to enjoy, which I think you will. I booked a couple dinners that, you
Fran
know, you've been on top of everything. I haven't.
Alex
I.
Fran
What's nice about doing this with you is like, I haven't had one worry. I'll be like, you know, when I'm planning my own trip, I'm like, oh, I gotta make sure I got stuff to do. All these things. I'm like, I'm going with Ria. She's got this whole thing. There's the places she's gonna want me to see. They're the places she's gonna say are overrated that I don't need to see. I'm just along for the ride. I am. You are driving the motorcycle, and I am in the sidecar, you know?
Ria
And you know what? I'm happy to do that. I'm actually so happy to do that for everybody. I love, like, in another life. I'm a travel agent. I'm planning itinerary, curating.
Fran
Curating trips.
Ria
I do. And I love showing people a good time. I love giving people a good time. There's nothing that, like, brings me more joy and happiness than seeing other people enjoy, like, you know what I'm saying?
Fran
So I'm just. I hear you.
Ria
But then that also comes with, like, pressure. A lot of pressure. We're also staying in the same hotel room.
Fran
Yep.
Ria
So, you know, I hope you like the hotel. And there's just a lot.
Fran
No doubt about that.
Ria
There's just a lot of. A lot of things on the line.
Fran
I'm just basically taking the place of your husband. If you guys were. Would be. Take. You know, you. You would have been staying at this hotel with your husband. So I'm just.
Ria
Right. So. So what happened was, is Matt and I were supposed to go to London in December, and we ended up canceling that trip. And then the hotel was, like, too close. You can't get this money back. You just. We'll give you credit to use within this amount of time period.
Taylor
So.
Ria
Perfect timing. Perfect timing.
Fran
But I'm benefiting from the credit, and Matt is not.
Alex
Yes.
Ria
Which he is happy to give up for you, you know, so we are. We're gonna be in London gallivanting. We got Harry Styles on Friday.
Fran
I'm so excited. I feel like the energy around his shows is getting back to the. The Harry that we know and love. I'm starting to see a lot of the positivity, the fun, the sharing, the dancing, Harry being funny on stage, all these good clips. Because I think at first everyone was maybe a little unsure about the new stage and the setup and all these things, but now it feels like we're really getting back in the Zone. And when I tell you. I think that that clip of Harry singing Bridge Over Troubled Waters came up on my feed no less than a hundred times in the last few days. And in whatever shape or form it was, it was presented to me. A 10 second clip of just the end, a three minute clip of the, you know, five minute clip of the entire. I watched every single video all the way through. I. I have chills again thinking about it. He has never sounded better in his life. I've been walking around my apartment going bridge, like, singing to myself. Like, it's just. I. I was like, let me, let me, let me try. Let me give that note a spin that he, that he hits the. It's so.
Noah
Wait, can I admit something to. I recorded myself on my phone singing because I was like, I want to see what I can. And it was so fucking bad.
Ria
No, you have to play. You have to play.
Noah
No, no, it's. It was. I recorded on Snapchat so I could delete it immediately. Yeah, yeah, it was so fucking bad.
Fran
You know what, Noah?
Noah
Because I'm like, when, you know when you sing along with something, you're like, yeah, I think I'm actually hitting this note and then you hear it.
Fran
It was universal. Experience is growing up, is growing up, growing up, being home alone. You're singing and you go, I think I sound great. You pull out your phone, you record yourself because no one else is home. You press play and you go, oh, oh. Oh, God, that's terrible.
Noah
I. I did it in two different, like, octaves. Like, I did one, like one and then one, like, kind of raspy. Like, I did that. I did the high one and was like that. That did not sound good. But maybe if I do it like more of like a raspy, like, it'll sound cooler and they sound equally bad.
Ria
Listen, that is so funny. I wish that you still had it, but I totally.
Noah
I would have never given it to you.
Fran
You would have never given it.
Ria
I know, I know. Just wishful thinking there. But I'm so excited to see him. We're going to have so much fun trying to plan an outfit that's casual but also cute and hanging out.
Fran
Really? I'm having a really hard time.
Taylor
Yeah.
Ria
I feel like you were thrown off last week when you asked Kelly and I if we had our outfits and we were like, yes, we do.
Fran
No, I wasn't thrown off by that. I'm thrown off with what the vibes of the show are. I'm thrown off with it, but what people are wearing. I'M thrown off of what I just need like, I need like a mood board. Like put send me in the right direction and where I can find something.
Ria
This is my issue. Wear whatever the fuck you want to wear. Like you're going to a concert. You want to be comfortable and cute. I don't really care what other people are wearing. I just. In my head I'm like, what did I envision myself wearing to this concert? You know what I'm saying?
Fran
If that was the question, I'd be in jean shorts and a T shirt because that's my prefer. That's my preferred outfit to wear to a concert. It's like when I'm going to a Jones Brothers show, it is the best thing for me to just be like, well, I'm just wearing it. I can just wear Jones Brothers T shirts. My go to don't have to overthink it. Feel like there's now with different artists, there's different vibes and people get all dressed up and all these things and I, I want to wear a cute outfit. I also have a potential. I order something else that could have potential. But then there's, you know, there's people doing the sequence party, disco vibe. There's people doing a little business casual flair.
Ria
I have something.
Fran
I bought a shirt that's part of a set that has like, it could be fun. I don't know. I'm all over the map with it really. At the end of the day, I could end up wearing jean shorts and a Harry Styles T shirt.
Ria
That would be the most comfortable. I kinda hate the fact that we gotta dress up for concerts now. But also you don't. You could really wear whatever you want. But I think for this, like being in London, you kind of just like. It's like, ooh, let's wear like a cuter outfit of like. But what you envision you would wear to a Harry Styles concert, you know?
Fran
Absolutely. And I ordered a set that I think is so cute. And you know, no, sorry for these details but like the shirt is just way more see through than I anticipated, which is fine.
Ria
Oh yeah, no, is absolutely disgusted with this.
Fran
No, no. But I was about to describe like my boobs jumping, bouncing all around through this.
Alex
Yes.
Fran
While I'm at the concert. It's just like, it's just, it's. It's. I don't know if I'll be able to move the way I want to.
Ria
Yeah, I. You sent the shirt and you were like, do you think that this is too see through? I said Absolutely not. Go it. But are you comfortable with your boobs flopping up and down?
Fran
Yeah, they're. They'll be flopping all over the place.
Ria
Sometimes that could hurt.
Fran
It can. When you're jumping up and down and then gravity brings you back down even more.
Ria
Especially when you got big bosoms like you do.
Fran
Yeah, it's not. It is. Is not fun. And then it's like. It wouldn't really work with a bra. It's one shot. It's like a. It's like a. One shoulder is out. So I don't know. We'll see. I have a.
Ria
You should get some insane nipple pasties with Harry's face on it.
Fran
Oh, my God. Do you think? Oh, my God, I'm so late to the game. Do you think they make those?
Ria
Yeah, I'm gonna search on Amazon right now. Hold on.
Fran
You think they're on Amazon?
Ria
And by the way, my shirt is also see through, but I was gonna wear a bra. If not, I'm wearing Harry Styles and nipple pasties with you. I mean, that would be epic.
Fran
There's just like glitter ones.
Ria
Harry Styles face on nipple pasties on Amazon.
Fran
It's all like, like their theme.
Ria
Listen, if somebody was able to gift me Josh Allen nipple pasties, we could definitely get Harry Styles 100.
Fran
But I, I'm. I feel like that's a custom order.
Ria
A custom order. You're right.
Fran
You know, like, like on Etsy. Yeah. Like, I don't know if we have the time since we. We're leaving in a few days for it to come. But now some of these. Some of these, like, rave glitter pasties are kind of cute.
Ria
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
But then I don't know if I want to be drawing so much attention to them. Like, it's almost better if it's just like a neutral nipple cover. And then you just. You're not like, look at her sparkly nipples.
Ria
If I can find somewhere that will make Harry. What if we just get Harry Styles stickers with his face and put those over our nipples?
Fran
That sounds a little painful.
Ria
It's like putting tape on your boobs.
Fran
Yeah, I hate putting tape on my boobs.
Ria
Harry Styles face stickers, God, they don't make a lot.
Fran
I'm seeing a lot of, like, glitter ones. There's fun heart ones.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
I could get ones that say kiss me.
Ria
That might be inviting something you maybe don't want.
Fran
I'm just going off the album.
Ria
I'm not really sure if your husband is going to be thrilled if you're wearing Nipple pieces that say kiss me on your nipples.
Fran
I would also have to buy a set I'd also have to buy a set where the variety is either lick me, spank me, bite me, kiss me, me.
Noah
No, don't worry, Joe.
Ria
It's just for Harry.
Fran
Don't worry. It's just for my girls trip in London. All good.
Ria
Nothing to worry about here.
Fran
All good here. No worries. There's some glitter hearts, though, that are kind of cute.
Ria
Yeah, those are fun, but they're more like, I guess. What about disco balls? Do they have disco ball ones?
Fran
Yeah, I bet. I bet you they do. I probably don't have to search Harry Styles nipple pasties.
Ria
I am only searching Harry Styles nipple pasties just in hopes that I just see his face pop up. How did somebody, whoever, whoever gave me those Josh Allen nipple pasties? Tell me how we get Harry Styles?
Fran
Yeah. Oh, here's some disco balls. Oh, these ones are disco ball hearts. One says ye, one says ha.
Ria
I'll wear ye on both and you'll wear ha on the others.
Fran
Just, you know, that could be a little. That could be some Shania Twain fun. I mean, my God, they really make a ton of, ton of ton of variety here.
Ria
Nipple covers with Harry Styles face on them.
Fran
You're really, you're really changing up your search to see if I just reword, put different words in different. In a different way.
Ria
No, now I'm just getting articles about, about Harry Styles nipples.
Fran
Oh, well, yeah, that's.
Ria
Oh, yeah, Etsy has them.
Fran
Yeah, it's going to be Etsy. And you know that's a custom. That's a custom gig. I don't know if they'll be getting here on time.
Ria
Oh, my God, they got Post Malone on.
Fran
You can get anybody Post Malone with this chunk out.
Ria
Oh, my God, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I got to get offline. This is cracking me up.
Fran
So you get the shit you can
Ria
find the shit that you can find that you don't even realize. You just type one thing and all of a sudden you see a nipple with Post Malone's tongue.
Fran
Look, one day we might be at a chicks in the office show and a girl, my lifter shirt is just Noah Ives nipple pasties.
Ria
Oh my God. You know what? At our next tour, no more signs. Bring your best nipple pasties.
Fran
We're going to ask, we're going to have everybody just take their top off.
Ria
Just. Oh, there's some cute stuff on Etsy right now. Harry Styles.
Fran
Yeah, that's probably where I dropped the Ball. The most I could have found. And you know who I thought looks really cute was Bri. Wore, like, a very cute outfit to this show. And when I saw what she was wearing, I was like, damn. That's like. That's the vibe I want to be in. Like, she looks comfortable, right?
Ria
Her shorts were really cute. I might. I might copy those. I'm not gonna lie.
Fran
They were so cute. When I saw that, I was like, fuck, that's exactly what I want to be wearing.
Ria
Damn.
Fran
But you know what? Leaving in four days is not conducive to having that arrive on time.
Ria
Dropped the ball because I was down. I was down the shore. I could have went to the. The Jersey Shore T shirts shop.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah.
Ria
I could have got a.
Noah
Wait, did you not take Franny? You never went.
Ria
We were. We were two down for the count.
Noah
Wow.
Fran
Oh.
Alex
To the.
Fran
To the.
Noah
We were gonna go all weekend. Franny's just like, I want to go to this. Like, she. She wouldn't stop talking about it.
Fran
Oh, damn.
Ria
Let's relax. She. She brought it up one time.
Fran
That was like, wow, some cousin you are. You didn't take her to the one thing she wanted to see.
Ria
No, that's not what happened. As we were leaving, we all said. And including Franny, she was like, let's just get home.
Alex
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
And. But now I do wish. Although I probably wouldn't have thought about this then.
Fran
No, no, no, no. The only reason it even popped into my mind was. Was seeing Brianna's outfit. I was like, oh, my God, she looks so cute. I should have thought of something like this instead of, like. I don't know why. I had it in my brain that I needed to be, like, dressed to the nines. I didn't even think of, like, any other option.
Ria
It's because.
Fran
Which I feel silly about now, but maybe I could find something in London.
Ria
Absolutely. What about just, like, an I Heart London shirt?
Fran
Yeah, that too. Well, I got it. I got to see how I feel about the city first before I slap a I Heart London shirt on.
Alex
Fuck.
Ria
And it's going to be, like, really hot. Which is. Is.
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Ria
You know that it is.
Fran
We'll be fine. We're going to have a ton of fun. I can't wait. I am so excited.
Ria
We're going to have so much fun. Let's get into the rest of today's topics. Do we want to mention that the Knicks parade is happening in New York City right now, or.
Fran
No, I was gonna say. You're not gonna bring up Watching videos of Josh Hart at the parade. Fran, don't put me on the spot like this. You posted the Instagram story of Noah's text. Yeah, just, I'm just giving some color commentary to the fans.
Ria
Yeah, I've been sending a lot of videos of Josh Hart at the parade. Yeah, it's these damn. Let me tell you, it's these damn cut off shirts. It's an epidemic. First my husband, then Nick Jonas, then Josh Hart.
Fran
They're. Everyone's showing off their muscles. It's an arm summer.
Ria
Yeah, it's bicep summer, muscle T summer. So.
Fran
And really? Yeah, Throw the shoulders in there too because these guys got great shoulders.
Ria
So by the way, tell, tell your husbands, tell your boyfriends, tell whoever it's a muscle T summer and they're going to want to get on it. Buy, buy them, buy one for them. Say, I just want to see what this looks like on you. That's what I did last week. I was like, ooh. When I, when we were talking about new summer clothes, I was like, I'm throwing muscle tee in there. I feel like I look good on this. He threw the muscle tee on. I was freaking out. I was freaking out.
Noah
Why is that, like called a muscle tee? But then like a normal tank top is just a tank top where like you see the same stuff.
Ria
It's just called a muscle tea. I don't know.
Fran
Well, a tank top has a different connotation. A muscle T is a T shirt where you see muscle.
Noah
Yeah, but a tank top you see more actually.
Ria
No, but like it's just like the cut off of it.
Fran
It's the cut of it, but it's still a T shirt.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Where you see muscles. A tank top is a different type of shirt.
Ria
Right. Because there's still a T. Kinda.
Alex
Yes.
Ria
Yeah. But I was like, so you know what, I actually had a couple girls messaged me yesterday being like, send over the link for the muscle tee. Yeah, it's Abercrombie if anyone's wondering. Yeah, they got a good collection for the men on there. But yeah, I mean, you know, it's great to see the guys having a good time at the team. I mean, having a good time in the city. Timmy. Timmy's up there. I got. The thing is I have to separate, separate myself after this. I absolutely, it's. I have to separate myself. We gotta say goodbye to them and we gotta close this chapter and it'll
Fran
be the offseason and they're gonna take a break themselves.
Ria
Right. I do wonder if I'll watch next year, the season.
Noah
You'll be watching all ages.
Fran
Regular. Regular season basketball.
Ria
This was super fake of me. Obviously. I've been a really fraud fake fan. Me and Noah Khan. No, me and Noah Khan have a lot in common. Lately,
Fran
guys are living parallel lives between
Ria
our buttholes and our Knicks fandom. And besides all that, happy to see Timmy on the float with his dad. Oh, that's so sweet.
Alex
What.
Fran
What a crazy. Like, people were there 4:00am, 5:00am the police were putting out messages that at 7:00am that, like, if you weren't in your spot, you're not getting in. It was madness. And I know that this is like the usual route that they do the parade, but they should maybe think about something else, like down the line. I don't know.
Noah
I know that we got a giant city here. Let's use it.
Fran
Yeah, there. There's a lot of significance, but
Taylor
at
Fran
this, like, their history is there.
Noah
Yeah, but you could still end there. Like, you could still.
Fran
Yeah, that would just be a really
Noah
long parade, but then you wouldn't be
Fran
so congested in my mind. Like, Central park makes sense.
Ria
Yeah.
Fran
Or somewhere like near Central park, but that's way too uptown to start all the way up there and then end at City Hall. Like, that is just that that's a really, really long parade.
Noah
You could start at MSG or, like, start.
Fran
Yeah. I just think you benefit from having open spaces. Like, being able to do something where you have park access would be great. Otherwise, what's the difference? You know, you're still just doing it down the street, down a city block. Granted, those streets are way more narrow down there, way smaller, and you can just fit less people, which is why it was so crazy. And people are hanging out of the windows on the lights, on the. Trying to get through. I. I've seen some crazy videos how people are trying to get. Get a view of. Of these people going through, but, you know, you love to see them all having a great time. Jordan woods had her bag locked and loaded, ready to go. All the big celebrity, celebrity fans that have been showing out, like, they were all on the floats. Marissa's up there, Tracy Morgan's up there. Timothy's up there. Martha Stewart was riding on a float.
Ria
Zachary. It's been officially announced that Ben Stiller is doing a documentary with a 24 and HBO fully about the Knicks, like, entirely. Including this season.
Fran
Yes.
Ria
So that'll be cool.
Fran
Yep. So they're having a. They're having a very fun, very fun day down in New York partying. In the streets all day long, I'm sure.
Ria
Yes, they definitely are. And I'm. I'm waving to them across the river.
Fran
Yeah. And, you know, and when you end with Alicia Keys singing Empire State of mind, it's just like, what?
Alex
What?
Fran
You can't do much wrong with that.
Ria
Yeah, it's beautiful. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We're going to be talking about Olivia Wilde on call her daddy a little bit of a love island USA recap update, whatever the hell it is. Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel gonna be on Dancing with the Stars. People are going crazy over this. And we have forgotten to talk about Olivia Rodrigo's new album that came out last Friday. What jerk offs we are.
Fran
Yeah. You know, I would like to spin it as we've needed to sit with the album for a week to really digest it before being able to, you know, give our thoughts. You know what?
Ria
Very fair. And we have a great game of trivia, so let's get into it. Before we get into all the drama, we need to talk about the thing that is keeping everyone's lives organized right now. Microsoft 365 copilot. What if you could add an AI assistant to your work without leaving your workflow built into Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook? Copilot works where you work, helping you do more in the apps you already use. In Word, Copilot helps turn scatter notes into a first draft. In Excel, it generates insights from your data. And in Outlook, it cuts through the noise to get you up to speed faster. The apps, you know, go further with copilot. Learn more@m365copilot.com work. So Olivia Wilde sat down with Alex Cooper, the leader of that evil empire. I'm kidding. Sorry, sorry. Should we not? It's a joke. I'll continue it as a joke. You guys saw the article. Matt Kaplan wasn't sitting there. He's the leader. But she sat down for colored. You guys are being quiet. Is everything okay?
Fran
I couldn't tell if you were being serious about continuing or stopping.
Ria
Like, I didn't.
Fran
I didn't know which way we were going. You said sorry four times. Although you're gonna say cut it, and then you said continue. And then that threw me off.
Ria
I couldn't decide.
Fran
And then the joke continued. And I was like, now I don't know where. Now. Now I wasn't laughing because I thought you were gonna cut it. Now I'm awkwardly not laug.
Ria
This reminds me of what I shared on my Story the other day it was Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. They were doing an interview with Esquire and Matt Rogers was like, the problem with Long island women is that something that should be five words is 600 words.
Fran
Yeah. Yep, yep. That is, that is.
Ria
And I was, it was like, you know, what'd you have for dinner? Well, you know, Chelsea ate this and then I found out Matt ate dinner earlier. Like it. I felt attacked. I felt it was a direct attack on me.
Fran
Did you see any of. Not to pivot completely, but since you just brought him up, you see any of the clips from the last Culturistas Awards?
Ria
Yes, it's a major cult. Them doing all the things she said and having Mallon and Britney Snow then come out as well with their, with the fucking hockey sticks. Unreal. Unreal. Just great stuff.
Fran
They really are geniuses.
Ria
They are.
Fran
I don't know how they come up with this. And it is so funny every time. Rachel Ziegler singing Fame is a Gun. Like unreal. Then they come out, there's they're dancing and singing with Pikachu and then they sing Only Hope with Mandy Moore which like brought a tear to my eye. Like, I was like, I can't believe that I'm like having an emotional moment right now watching this.

Unreal. A Walk to Remember is one of my favorite movies of all time. If you asked me back in the day what my favorite movie was, my answer was always A Walk to Remember. I was so obsessed. Honestly, I was inspired by Mandy Moore's Veil in A Walk to Remember for my own wedding. Kind of dark because, you know. Yeah.
Fran
But a beautiful sentiment nonetheless.
Ria
Yes. But it's just. Oh, it was so good. I actually, I started thinking to myself, like, what goes into the planning for this? Right. Because there has to be so much thought, so many ideas. We know how talented both of the, both, both of them are. But it's all so creative. The crowd gets so into it. We saw, you know, Mia and Ciara and Paige and Hannah which was so fun. And so many others as well.
Fran
Big wins. I love Lisa Rinna modeling the outfits the year, every, every when she does them all are so funny. She is so good.
Ria
So good. I mean, oh God, it was so funny.
Fran
It's non stop laughs. It really is. I, I just am so impressed by everything that they do and the thought that goes into that. It's just like actually so funny.
Ria
So kudos to them, honestly. Really just major props.
Fran
It's really fun night. I love to like go to that as an Event. You know, I think it's, like, such a fun room to be in just because, like, all the videos are so much fun and obviously watching it on Peacock and everything, but, like, being in that room has got to be a blast.
Ria
I was thinking that. I was like, oh, damn. I hope me and Frank can get invited one day.
Fran
Like, I would love that. Let's put that out there. We would like to be invited.
Alex
We would.
Ria
We would. And just as an audience member, like, I just want to be there. It just seems so fun.
Fran
Exactly.
Ria
And they did an amazing job. But back to that mean girl, Alex Cooper, and her husband. I'm kidding.
Fran
Maybe that B girl, Matt Kaplan.
Ria
Yeah, sorry. Matt Kaplan and his. His little minion. No, sorry, sorry. It was a good interview. It was a very good interview.
Fran
It was.
Ria
And Olivia Wilde with Alex Cooper. Great stuff. Because I feel like we have not seen Olivia Wilde in this setting because, you know, I feel like in the past couple years, especially with the don't worry, darling stuff, her relationship with Harry Styles, her divorce with Jason Sudeikis, which she touched on everything in this interview. She's kind of been under some criticism, you know, recently with the red carpet, about how her. She looked. She even talked about that. I loved seeing this side of her. I felt like she was incredibly open about things that we have all been wondering. Even fucking Spitgate. I couldn't believe we were talking about Spitgate. And by the way, Alex Cooper not knowing what Spitgate was, just being like, oh, you. They thought you spit on somebody. Where were you? Where were you when we were talking about that endlessly? Yeah, sorry. That one annoyed me. That one annoyed me.
Fran
No, that I. That. You're right. I couldn't believe that either. That was something that was like, wait a second. That took over everything.
Ria
Yeah, it did. It did take over everything. But she dressed it all. She talked about getting paper served while she was at Cinemacon and she was standing on stage giving a speech. She got served her divorce papers or her custody papers for their kids. And you replay the video of that and she takes it out, thinking it's a script. And she goes, oh, okay, I see what this is. And then continues on and talking about as a woman, you know, feeling like you gotta, like, power through, and then you go backstage and you just let it all out and deal with what's happening. So I thought it was incredibly interesting stuff from her, just talking about such
Fran
public
Ria
criticism that you would think sometimes people would never even touch on, I mean, her relationship with Harry Styles. She said that they had the loveliest relationship. It was very domestic and beautiful and they didn't let the outside noise come in. But there was a lot of chatter about the 10 year age gap and everything that went on with her divorce with Jason. And she spoke very highly of Harry and, and their relationship.
Fran
It seemed like they really did have a lovely relationship she was talking about. She said people were pissed. I think that it, it also had a lot to do with the kind of parasocial, parasocial relationship people had with and have with him, which is a burden that is very weighty and not something I envy. And he carries it with grace. I think that is an enormous responsibility that all those stars have to carry. That's fucking impossible. When talking about the age gap, she noted that she still doesn't quite understand why the shift in dynamics seem to get. Seemed to get such a negative response. She said, it really did upset people, though. It was crazy. I don't know how much I understand yet. That's one of the factors that I never really felt like I fully. And then she kind of was like, I, I, you know, didn't know, wasn't sure. But she said they had the loveliest relationship, calling it so sweet and so beautiful and actually very domestic and kind and lovely. We existed in this like little bubble and the judgment never really got into that bubble, which was a miracle and testament to us making that happen. Then she said she felt like no matter what she did during that time, it upset onlookers. She said, I think that people were mad. It's almost like the happiness made them mad. I would go to shows and dance and people were like, oh, you slut. Oh man, I don't know. Just really did upset people, which is so true. That had to have been so hard to balance and really such a mind to think. It's like, oh, behind closed doors we had such a lovely relationship. But going out or dealing with the public was such a different thing. And touching on dating someone like a Harry Styles, where the fans are so invested and feel like they kind of own a part of his life and the decisions that he makes and all those things, it really is very crazy to, to hear her all, to hear her all talk about it. And she talked about how Jason had been dating a girl that was 11 years younger than him and she's like. And that wasn't commented on publicly. She said you recalled spending Thanksgiving after their split with their kids when he spent time with his girlfriend abroad. Jason was photographed with his girlfriend on the beach in Costa Rica or something. And the press was like, yay for him. He looks so happy, so wonderful. And I was like, if I was away from my children on a national holiday, frolicking on a beach, I'd be like. It'd be like, just burn her on the stake now. Take her out and take the kids away from her forever. Which it is. There are just. There are a lot of contradictions, and a lot of times moms are held to higher standards. And it's like, well, if you're a mom, you're like, what? And you're out and about. They're like, well, why isn't she with her kids? And that rarely happens when the divorced dad is out.
Ria
Yeah. I mean, it's a double standard, and obviously a lot of times it's bullshit. So I was happy to hear her open up about all of this. And it is incredibly hard, I'm sure, to date someone with such a large fandom that people would absolutely die for. I mean, you. Even the discussion the other day, Joe Alwyn's dating somebody else, and he's getting ripped apart for just dating somebody else. Meanwhile, everyone should be able to move on. Like, it's. Yeah, it just comes with a lot of pressure, and I think it's about how they handle it, you know, closed doors, which sounds like they had a great relationship. Obviously, it didn't work out, but sounds like they have a lot of respect for each other. And she talks very highly of him, and I just thought it was interesting to see her in this light. And her new movie with Seth Rogen is coming out, the Invite. So I'm excited to see that.
Fran
Did you see. Same. Did you see what she said about Jason? She talked about that they were having a rough time in their relationship. This was in 2020, her birthday. They were driving home from her party, and she asked Jason if he bought her a present, and he said, what would I get you, Olivia? I don't know you. I went. She said that. I went. I was like, oh, my gosh. She was like. She didn't admit it. She wasn't wrong in his sharp response because at that point, they didn't know each other anymore. And then she did say that that interaction is what helped inspire her make the invite.
Ria
That is exactly why I ranked Jason Sudeikis strictly on his humor and comedy and not his personal the other day.
Fran
Right.
Ria
I don't know about whatever happened between these two, you know?
Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Ria
Like, I don't. We don't know for sure, but we've heard some not so great stories. About Vegas.
Fran
Right, and. Exactly. And it's like if you're saying like this is your husband, it's your birthday, and he's like, what would I have gotten you? I don't even know you. You're like, okay, that sounds like a rare, that sounds like a marriage that's in a really bad place.
Ria
Really bad place. And just a super answer. So, you know.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, that, that's, that is, that is pretty crazy. But it's a really great interview to listen to it. She talked about a ton of different things, you know, being on the maxim Hot 100 and just different roles and dealing with all these kind of images that have been thrust upon her and ideas that have been thrust upon her and how she's handled it all. So it was, it was, it was a very good conversation.
Ria
It is. And it's also interesting when you hear someone talk about something like Olivia Wilde talking about her looks like how she never felt a certain way about herself and then she's Maxim, you know, number one on the list. And it's so crazy because I remember a specific period of my time, maybe during the OC or I think she was in the switch up. And I remember thinking to myself, like, I want to look like her. I want to look like Olivia Wilde. And it's funny to hear someone you like, wanted to look like think a certain way about themselves. Right. Because it makes you, it kind of just like puts it in perspective of like everybody wants something but you don't know how that and that person perceives themselves differently than how you perceive them. It's very interesting, but I thought it was a, I thought it was a really good interview.
Fran

Ria
Moving on to Guillermo announced he's gonna be on Dancing with the Stars. Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel. People are going fucking nuts over this.
Fran
People do love Guillermo.
Ria
I saw Snooki comment, like, he's winning it all or something like that.
Fran
I know Emma was like, already putting her hat in the ring of being his partner. She's like, I feel like he's already going to be the people's prince. This is. This is a really fun casting classic inside abc. You know, he's been on Jimmy Kimmel for forever. And Dancing with the Stars on ABC that some. Some inter channel love company love. And he seems so fun and I feel like he's gonna have the time of his life doing this. Like, I'm just already picturing just his dances. I think they'll be so fun. He'll bring so much energy. And there's always this. This cat. Like there's always this person. Cast on the Dancing with the Stars season. Feel like it's sort of the older gentleman. That's. That every. That the. The whole world rallies around. They love so much.
Ria
Noah, you better get those Guillermo shirts ready.
Noah
Yeah, I don't. Yeah, we'll see. I don't know if he'll have the same charisma as Andy.
Ria
People are going to eat him up. But he better get those fucking dances right or else Fran's going to rip him apart.
Alex
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
Guillermo, be beware of Fred.
Fran
Oh, man. No, he. I feel like he's gonna be really good.
Ria
Yeah. She says now after the whole Andy stuff.
Fran
Yeah.
Taylor
Yeah.
Noah
Natural dancing.
Fran
When Andy Richter was cast on the show, I wasn't like, I think Andy's gonna be an amazing dancer.
Ria
No, I think Guillermo has some. Some rhythm.
Alex
Yes.
Fran
So it's. He's. They've just done so much all, like the different sketches and skits and dancing and things that they've. They've done on. On the. Jimmy Kimmel on his show. Feel like it's gonna be. It's gonna be a lot of fun. So.
Ria
Yeah, that's a. That's a fun casting. I'm excited to see the entire cast when it gets announced, but I think we need a little. To be left a little surprised.
Fran
I know at this point it feels like we're getting a big chunk of like. I feel like they've been announcing a lot of people. Normally it feels like they do one or Two before the big reveal, but now we already have four more.
Ria
Sierra, Jackson and Guillermo.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I wonder if we'll find out more at Dancing the Stars con.
Fran
I was just gonna. I was just gonna say, I bet you maybe they announced one more person at Dancing with the Stars con.
Ria
I hope to see some people there that are listening. We'll be there at the end of July at Dancing with the Stars con in Palm Springs. We're booked. We're ready to go. So very excited. Hopefully we see. See more people there. Let's move on. Olivia Rodrigo's new album came out last Friday. You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love. I'm liking it. And as with all Olivia Rodrigo albums, for me, the more I listen, the more I love, the more I come around on songs that maybe I didn't love the first couple times but then begin to become fucking obsessed with. Like, I remember when Vampire first came out, it didn't hit my soul the way that it was that I was hitting everyone else. And then one day I put it on, and I never looked back. It was like in the room. I started listening to that song every day. That's a lot of times music with me in general, where it just hits a certain spot. And then all of a sudden I'm like, ooh, that cracked a part of my brain that I really like. And it'll keep going. So I'm feeling that way about. About Olivia's album. I think the more I listen, the more I love. I think she's an incredible songwriter. I think Olivia Rodrigo is one of the most talented people in the game right now. I genuinely think her songwriting is so high up there. So I'm a big fan.
Fran
I agree. Any favorites for you? I feel like it's. It changed for me because I've been listening to the album all week, and the initial, like, I really loved the ones that she had released first. Like, I love Drop Dead, I love the Cure. But then you get to kind of hear them all in the midst of. Of the album. And I do think she really takes you, like, on a journey with the album. Starts a certain way, ends a certain way. It feels like starting a relationship, like the beginning of a relationship hopeful, all these things. And then once you get to cigarette smoke, you're just like, oh, damn, what's really it? But it's a beautiful album.
Ria
What are. What are your. Some of your favorites?
Fran
Oh, I keep pressing play by accident.
Taylor
I.
Fran
It's hard. I really love. I really love Stupid Song. I think Stupid Song is so Good.
Ria
Maybe I do too.
Fran
Maybe my favorite.
Ria
Yeah, I really do love Stupid Song. And it was like. As I was listening to it, it did that thing for me.
Fran
Yeah, Just like, tickles when the. When the changes happen. It's just like. It's such. It's so good. I. Maggots For Brains has grown on me a lot. It wasn't my first listen. I wasn't like, I'm not sure, but now I probably listened, you know, five, six, seven times all the way through. And that one's grown on me a lot. I think. I think Less and Cigarette Smoke are both absolutely beautiful songs. Less. And this is where, you know, I'm still in the restaurant. Like, I was getting Conrad and Belly edits on my TikTok to Less, and I was like, wow, it just made me see the song in a whole different light. Really. It really did.
Ria
Do you. Speaking of, have you seen the videos? I know we talked about seeing them filming the videos where Chris Briney, he looks very unhappy, and you know what? I don't believe him because imagine trying to get into character and you just have. You're just being swarmed by people trying to watch.
Fran
I actually couldn't believe the picture I saw. And I almost wanted to comment, like, hey, everybody, go home. Like, I don't know what.
Taylor
Why.
Fran
Also, I know that they're. I know you get the chance to see them in person. A lot of people aren't gonna turn down that chance to see them filming. But it's like, does it not taint the final project for you? It's like you're seeing how the sausage is being made.
Ria
And I just feel.
Fran
And. And it's so. It feels very disrespectful. Like, they're just. There's hot. It looked like hundreds of people, and they're all on top of each other. They all got their phones at. Everybody's. Like, it's has to be crazy to police and organize and all for just, like, a scene of. Of Chris and Lola trying to, like, walk down a sidewalk together, right?
Ria
And I feel like it's like the fan is here and Chris Briney is here, and that is incredibly too close for comfort. I don't know how they put up more of a. Of a barrier for that not to happen, but it just feels like the. They're literally on the set, and I think that there needs to be a closed set because I feel bad for them trying to just, like, do their job, and it could be incredibly distracting. And I'm sure they're not like behaving, you know, I'm sure they're probably yelling and whatever, so.
Fran
No, I know. I feel like it's got to be really hard though, because I bet even no matter how secretive they are or they try and put decoys or use different names or whatever, once one person hears that it's all this, you like, like summer integrity is. That's what they're filming. People are just coming in swarms. So I. I felt sad for them though, seeing that, because they did look agitated, to say the least, that this is what was. What was going on for them. I'm sure it puts everybody's. I'm sure it makes everybody's jobs harder. There's the crew. Every person who's trying to make the show that make the movie makes it ten times more difficult for everybody. So that's gotta be really, really hard. But yes. The edit of old Conrad and belly clips to Les I was like, so good.
Ria
Yeah, I'm excited to keep listening to the album. I think the more we listen, the more we'll love and I just. I just think she is so talented. I really do. And I always go back to her past albums as well. Like, they are heavy in my rotation out of all the pop girlies, because I would consider her pop for sure. She's definitely my most listened to by. By far. Actually. She, like, is really, really up there for me.
Fran
So, yeah, she's up there for sure. I think Gracie Abrams is really up there for me too. As of recent. I'm very excited for her new album to come out. But no, that. Really a beautifully done album. I've listened to the Cure a lot as well and I like it more and more every time I listen to it. I know it's hard because it's like when you drop. When the artist drops the songs earlier, like certain singles come out before they are sometimes discussed as like standalone things and not as like the bigger picture of the album because everyone's been listening to them beforehand. So you. You're like, oh, well, I already know that one. But in the grand scheme of like the whole album, I think that song is so good too.
Ria
Yeah, just. I.
Fran
Well done, Olivia. She. I. I really like the whole sound of this. This album. A little pot like pop punk with a little indie songwriter. It's really. She's. She's found her niche sound, especially with this album. I feel like the production on this album was so unique to her, I felt.
Ria
I agree. Because. Yeah, that's why when I said pop before, it's because she is pop. But there are so many other elements to it that it's not just straight pop.
Fran
We need to talk about the game day vibes for a second because Truly is fully in their era right now. They're the official hard seltzer of US Soccer, which honestly just makes sense. And they've got these packs that are perfect for watching with friends, like the Star Squad Pack and the Wild Berry. So many good flavors, and it's just easy. You bring it, everyone's happy. The flavors are super refreshing, very fruity, very drinkable, and you're not getting the heavy feeling after a couple. It's only 100 calories and 1 gram of sugar, so you can actually hang, keep watching, keep chatting, and keep everything going. Just also love that there's so much variety, so there's something for everybody. Whatever flavor you like. If you're hosting a party, if you're heading to a party, you can really please everybody by bringing a Truly variety pack. There is a US game today, so you can gear up, get ready, make sure you are rocking and rooting for Team USA alongside those Truly's. You got to get your Truly's while you're hanging out watching. So grab a Truly Star Squad pack or Wild Berry Pack for your next watch party and keep the vibes going.
Ria
Last topic, just a little mention of it. Love island usa. I have to be completely honest. It is hard for me right now.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
I put it on, and for some reason, it just doesn't grab my full attention. And I think that that just happens with this show. Yeah, sometimes you're gonna get a shooting star, and sometimes you're just gonna get a good season. And I feel like this is a, you know, you can't stop watching. But I'm. I'm not as like, holy fuck. Phone is down. I am locked into this TV right now.
Fran
I. I agree. It's felt like I. I press play and I'm sort of like, all right, let's see how this goes.
Ria
Right.
Fran
I'm just not as excited to sit down and watch it. I'm still watching it. And of course, we haven't watched Thursday's episode, but I. I've watched up until. Up until Wednesdays and to be honest, and even Tuesday's episode, like, I don't know if this is a hot take, but everybody is whiny. I can't deal with, like, the. The whiny behavior that kind of bothers me. And I felt like I didn't really like the way Kenzie was acting. Acting with Corbin and Anaya. And like, I felt Anaya was shooting herself in the foot, like sort of like self sabotaging with Casey a little bit. Yes. He wants, wanted to maybe have a couple conversation with Soul, but then all of a sudden it turned into like her being the safe option and just a choice and like, sort of pushing him away. And I'm glad. I think they got to a better place at the, like during the love letter stuff. But even that, even that was kind of bizarre because that in any other season would have been like, must watch television. I think people would have been freaking out. The clips would have been going mega viral of like someone opening their mailbox and not having a letter in. And I don't know if they're just maybe calmer or there's not that pop off element of, of yelling or getting really upset or all these things. Because just in, just in terms of drama, if that happened with another love triangle. The way Sincere has been acting with these two ladies is really like, he's, he's acting like he's locked into each of them.
Noah
I think he actually doesn't even, like, realize how he's lying.
Fran
No, it's, it actually is crazy. Crazy. So to me, like, and it's, and it's a testament to these ladies. Good for them in terms of craziness. Like, Soul probably would have had every right to, to freak out at Sincere. That that's how that went down. And maybe she will, I don't know. It kind of. The episode ended so this, I could be talking and everyone's like, this happened on Thursday. But in the moment, she was just like, very sad about it. But I, I just don't understand how he's getting away with this behavior. And no one's yelling at him. No one, not one person is giving him any, like, giving him a hard time. Melanie's like, yeah, I'm here whenever you decide to Soul and come back.
Alex
Right.
Fran
What's. It's crazy to me. And even like, I don't know. Kenzie was giving Corbin a little bit of a hard time with the kisses and stuff, but she was still exploring with Caleb, by the way. I don't, I, I, I, I was really. And I don't. That was bothering me too. So I, I just feel like, I don't know, I'm just like, not as I'm not loving these people as much, which is maybe making me less invested.
Ria
Right. I think that is part of it. I think when you have, like, amazing personalities on this show, you're more invested.
Noah
The 2020 argument that Kenzie was in, no one's ever been more convinced that they're right and they're just blatantly wrong.
Ria
Yeah.
Noah
Like, you could tell that he was like, I know I'm right, but I'll just let you have this one, I guess.
Ria
Right.
Taylor
No.
Ria
Caleb was like, I' going to let her have this.
Noah
Oh. I thought it was the other way, but I guess.
Ria
Yeah. Honestly, that was kind of him to just be like, yeah, sure, whatever you say. He's the one with the vision. He should know.
Fran
And I guess it's, you know, I just. They. We just need a little more umph. A little more umph from some of these people. Like, I know on uk, I know we keep comparing it, but it's hard
Ria
not to when they're airing at the same time.
Fran
It's hard not to when it's at the same time. But there's, like, confrontation, there's conflict, there's. There's disagreements within guys, girls, in or out, in and out of their couples. It's just kind of making. It's just a more interesting dynamic. I will say, though, I just watched episode 12, I think it was 12 of UK and I. I actually couldn't believe talking about whiny. These. Some of these guys. The whiniest babies I've ever seen in this moment. I was floored. The girls were floored by the way they were acting. I was floored by the way they were acting. Whiny, whiny, baby, baby. All, like, all of them. It was blowing my mind. But even then, like, on UK, they're handling these situations. I just feel like it's 10 times more interesting of. Of love triangles or maybe having this person not liking this person. It's just been way more interesting. The mailbox thing, it's crazy. Like, I was thinking, if you put the mailbox thing on last season, that would have been crazy. It would have gone so viral. Everyone will be talking about it. And I barely even saw it. I was late to watching the episode. I watched the episode on Wednesday morning
Alex
and
Fran
that I felt even then I wasn't seeing as many people talking about it. So I don't know. I. It's. It's interesting. I feel like maybe they're not bringing in enough people. They got to mix it up more. Like, where are the bombshells?
Alex
We're.
Ria
We're.
Fran
I know. Casa, I think, is going to be next week, right?
Ria
Yeah, I think. I honestly, I have high hopes for Casa.
Fran
Casa. Casa's got to stir shit up because I'm surprised by the amount of contestants. Like, I just feel like we're not bringing in enough bombshells where that's making it feel kind of stale. There's not as many couples in the house.
Ria
But do you think with Casa, though, we don't have that many couples regardless. So it's like, what, Sincere is just going to add probably two more girls to his resume?
Fran
Yeah. I don't know. The red. All of them are really wild cards. I do think as much as Trinity and Bryce are seemingly locked in now, I, I. Casa could potentially turn Bryce's head. I think. So that could be something I don't know about. Kaden, Zach. They feel fairly locked in, but you never know. You never know. That's what gets you. But uk, they've just had more people in and out. I feel like they're bringing more bombshells in. There's just. I don't know. I think it's just better personalities. I feel like I just haven't even got to know. Like, I completely forget about Jen and Gabriel. You never see them. You never really see them talking. If anything, they're. They're canoodling under the covers, and that's the most we're getting out of them. It's like them saying that they like each other, but I'm like, why?
Ria
When Gabriel.
Fran
I'm not seeing them actually talk.
Ria
When he first showed up, you. I thought he was going to be a bigger player in the.
Fran
Yeah, yeah, it's. Nobody's got that zip.
Ria
No, no, we. We definitely need to mix it in with some more personalities.
Fran
Yeah.
Ria
So we'll see what happens, but we'll keep tabs. But I think everyone's kind of on the same page. Right.
Fran
We're certainly still watching. And I. And I want to talk to. I'm hoping we'll be able to get some islanders on the. On the podcast and. And talk about their experience and everything that's been going on because it had. The season has had a different feel. For sure.
