Ria Ciuffo
Beautiful.
Fran Mariano
Let me just say, like, nobody's more well rested than I am, which is.
Ria Ciuffo
That's amazing.
Fran Mariano
No, I know. It actually sounds annoying. Like, nobody has gotten more rest.
Ria Ciuffo
Sleeping like a baby.
Fran Mariano
Nobody has gotten more rest than I have.
Ria Ciuffo
Chipper.
Fran Mariano
Like, me and Matt were dying.
Ria Ciuffo
What a dream.
Fran Mariano
We were dying laughing. Cause I was just like snuggled up on the couch, like on my phone. And I was like, nobody has gotten more lay down time than I have this week. And he was like, honestly, I was thinking that like any spare moment that I had, I was laying down.
Ria Ciuffo
Horizontal.
Fran Mariano
I was horizontal laying down. Like I was getting into bed so early. Like, no one's more well rested than I am. I know.
Ria Ciuffo
That's amazing.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Which I feel like is not typical for. It's like, you're like so ready to go.
Fran Mariano
No, I'm just ready to go. And I'm so excited. Last night I. So I finished my vows like two weeks ago in the middle of the night. I just woke up and I just. It was all flowing out of me. I was like, I have to write this down. Like, I have to write it down. So I finished it. And then last night I wrote it down in like our vows, our vow books. I took out a little bit because Running time. I read it. The running time. You know, I don't wanna lose Matt. I don't wanna lose people.
Ria Ciuffo
The church.
Fran Mariano
The church. I was like, all right. It wasn't that. Honestly, the running time wasn't that long. But I thought that the part that I took out was like, wasn't so necessary to be included. It was kind of rambling at that point.
Ria Ciuffo
Right. It was maybe a little repetitive.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, a little repetitive. So I was like, okay. Did some modification when I read it. Three minutes and like 40 seconds.
Ria Ciuffo
Okay.
Fran Mariano
And I was like, that is. I could get it under three.
Ria Ciuffo
No, but that's. I feel like that's a great number.
Fran Mariano
Like between two and three minutes, you know, and. But I am at this moment that is okay. I'm like. I told myself I wouldn't cry this week, which is, you know, probably going to be hard. Obviously I'm gonna, you know, if it happens at the end of the week. But on the podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is. Right now what I'm most excited about is reading the vows that I wrote. Because it is the best thing I've ever Written. Not that I'm a poet or an author, but, you know, obviously you tell each other every day what they. Or, you know. But I just know that he is going to appreciate everything that I wrote to him about him so much that I cannot wait to share what I wrote to him. Like, I am just. I'm so excited. Like, that is what I'm most excited for in this moment.
Ria Ciuffo
Yes, I know exactly what you mean.
Fran Mariano
I love the. I, like, just. I'm obsessed with the words that I wrote for him. I think it.
Ria Ciuffo
That's so sweet.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. I just. I can't wait for that. I can't wait. I'm so excited.
Ria Ciuffo
It's a big week.
Fran Mariano
It is.
Ria Ciuffo
So hopefully time flies.
Fran Mariano
I think it will. I mean, we have to work today and tomorrow.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
It's kind of like last night, I actually.
Ria Ciuffo
But it kind of, like, sneaks up already. Like, it's, you know, Wednesday, and then activities start.
Fran Mariano
I know. Last night I, for the first time, dreamt about something totally random in a while. You know, Like, I've had a lot of, like, wedding dreams recently, which I feel like happens to everybody.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Last night I dreamt about, like, pizza, and I was like. I woke up like, wow.
Ria Ciuffo
Amazing.
Fran Mariano
That was incredible.
Ria Ciuffo
Exactly what I wanted. Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Oh, my God, what a delight.
Ria Ciuffo
Which is also, though, still wedding. It.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Or, you know.
Fran Mariano
Right.
Ria Ciuffo
It's not the wedding, but the rehearsal. But the rehearsal dinner is pizza.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. Rehearsal dinner is iconic.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
But I won't share that right now.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran Mariano
But.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, but it's still. Pizza is involved. Honestly, I've been thinking about that. Pizza.
Fran Mariano
No, I know. Like, you and Joe are more excited for the rehearsal dinner than the wedding.
Ria Ciuffo
I've been thinking about a lot. I was like, just have to get to Thursday.
Fran Mariano
I also have to say Joe's mom has sent me some of the best texts this weekend.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, she's so.
Fran Mariano
She also sent me a personalized card this morning via text that had Martin Short singing. I was like, that's. That was the first text I woke up to this morning was the Martin Short singing. And I was like, this is incredible. And now I'm waiting for her birthday to send one in return. Like, I'm like, this is going to be our little thing. You know?
Ria Ciuffo
I know. She was telling me about that. Meanwhile, at Easter, Meemaw was like, what time's the church on Friday?
Fran Mariano
Oh, my God.
Ria Ciuffo
And I was like, oh. And I told. She was like, can I come? I was like, of course you could come if you wanted to. Go, like, to just come to the. Like, come to mass. Like, but I also think she thought it was closer to her. Like, she. She was like, where is it? Like, thinking it'd be, like, more Long Island. I was like, oh. And then she was like, oh, that's a little bit farther for me to drive. I was like, yeah, fair. But she was like. She was like, I want to come to the mass. And I was like, yeah. I was like, you can absolutely come. No. Oh, that's me. And, like, Gia was like, you can't do that. I was like, what are you talking about? Of course you can.
Fran Mariano
I have, you know, friends, moms who want to do that. Like, But I. I'm like, it's not like you have.
Ria Ciuffo
It's not. She's coming to the reception expecting a seat?
C
No.
Fran Mariano
But I would pull out a chair for her right next to Nano. It's. Right.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Like, she's, you know, she's like, oh, I just. I just. I'm so excited for her. She was so excited.
Fran Mariano
Oh, my God. That really warms my heart. That's really sweet.
Ria Ciuffo
Just a.
Fran Mariano
God that counts.
Ria Ciuffo
That's.
Fran Mariano
That's really sweet. But, yeah, everyone's ready. Everyone's excited. I mean, the funny thing is, like, Matt and I have tackled a lot of this wedding, like, planning ourselves. I mean, of course, our parents have helped, and we're very thankful for that, but, like, a lot of, like, the logistics.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran Mariano
You know, decorate. All that has been, like, tackled a lot by us. And I think our moms are, like, just a tad bit nerve nervous because they're like, you know, they trust us, but they're like. I think they're like, we. You guys aren't stressed now? We're stressed that you're not stressed. Like, are you missing something? Like, you know, did you guys do this?
Ria Ciuffo
You guys? Yeah, I've gone through. Yes, everything.
Fran Mariano
I've went through every single wedding checklist that I could find, and I. I.
Ria Ciuffo
So I'm just like, no, guys have it down.
Fran Mariano
It's both of their last. Both of their babies.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep.
Fran Mariano
You know, just. I keep telling. Just sit back and enjoy it. Have the time of your lives. That's what my wish is for everyone to do, is to just, like, sit back and have an amazing time. Like, I. That's all I want them to do. So it's just funny because we were, like, laughing on the couch, right? We're like. I think they're. I think they're nervous that we maybe, like, didn't do something which is just fair. Very fair.
Ria Ciuffo
So fair. So fair.
Fran Mariano
Extremely fair. So.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
We also hired a day of coordinator, Eventful Days. Kristen at Eventful Days, she's awesome. And she helped with more than just the day of. She, you know, very involved. Yeah, she. She's been. She's been helping more than just the day of. They're great. So highly recommend.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. That it's. It is a kind of a. I do feel that that is a necessary component for sure. Like, it's just reassuring all if you.
Fran Mariano
Can make it happen. The day of coordinator is clutch, and.
Ria Ciuffo
Then that's pretty much it. Well, do you want to talk about what happened with your.
Fran Mariano
With your dress last week, Fran? I wasn't going to bring it up because I'm trying to keep a positive spirit, but we have to pick it up.
Ria Ciuffo
This.
Fran Mariano
We do. We do.
Ria Ciuffo
So, by the way, like, I'm like, you're.
Fran Mariano
No, we have to. We have to pick it up.
Ria Ciuffo
Well, it's just a. It might be reassuring for other brides out there. It will.
Fran Mariano
It will be reassuring because, my God, our jaw dropped on Thursday. We went to go. What I thought was to go take home the dresses, and now I have, like, my main. Like, I'm not changing into the second dress until probably, like, 10, 10:30. Like, it's way after. So, like, you know, my. This is my dream dress. Like, I. I love it so much, and I would prefer to wear this dress.
Ria Ciuffo
Of course.
Fran Mariano
You know, obviously, it's. It's the dress I picked. So Fran and I go to pick it up. We put on. We put on. See, I put on the dress.
Ria Ciuffo
I put the dress on.
Fran Mariano
I put the dress on. I. Fran literally dressed me, actually put the dress on. I thought it was perfect. I was like, good to go. Fine, we'll take it. Seamstress looks at me. She's like, no, no, I don't like this one thing.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep.
Fran Mariano
Proceeds to cut with a scissor both sides of my dress while it's on my body.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep. No warning. No. Like, here I come in with the scissors.
Fran Mariano
No.
Ria Ciuffo
She was like, I'm gonna fix this.
Fran Mariano
And just. And.
Ria Ciuffo
And just took a sizzip. Sip, sip, sip, sip, sip. And we went.
Fran Mariano
No. Literally, I said, I saw.
Ria Ciuffo
Getting married next week.
Fran Mariano
I saw my soul fall out.
Ria Ciuffo
Well, I just kept looking at your face. I was like, don't. It's gonna be okay. It's gonna. I was, like, looking at your face to be like, is she freaking out? Is she freaking out?
Fran Mariano
This can't possibly be happening right now. She's cutting. Yeah, my. My wedding's in a week. And then she's like, I just need, like, a week. I said, no, no, no. While she's already cutting. I'm like, no, no. My wedding's next Friday. I need to pick this up on Monday. I'm not coming into the city past Tuesday, so I'm gonna need this done. And she was so nonchalant about it, and she's like, no worries, no worries.
Ria Ciuffo
Monday, I'll pick it up.
Fran Mariano
Fran and I, we both were nervous about it. We were like, oh, my God. So I'm texting Fran pictures of my full second outfit, and she's like, you know, I don't want to say it.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
But God forbid.
Ria Ciuffo
God forbid.
Fran Mariano
At least you have a gorgeous second drive. I'm like, okay, yes, but no.
Ria Ciuffo
Like, we need to know for sure, for sure.
Fran Mariano
This thing is fine. And I called her again on Saturday because I just wanted to remind her because she seems a little bit forgetful. And I was like, hey, just want to make sure I'm coming. She's yelled at me. She was like, maria, I don't know why you're stressing. I told you it would be done. And I'm like, I. Oh, sorry.
Ria Ciuffo
My wedding's a week away, and I was supposed to pick up my dress. And you were like, I have. It wasn't exactly, like, a little fix she cut.
Fran Mariano
But by the way. Which didn't need to happen. And I'm. I appreciate that you wanted it to be perfect, but, like, it just didn't have to happen. Would have been fine regardless. And she wasn't happy with my phone call.
Ria Ciuffo
I will say. I will say I think it was the right decision. Yeah, I think she needed to.
Fran Mariano
When we pick it up today, and it's fine.
Ria Ciuffo
Exactly the right. I think she needed right now when.
Fran Mariano
We'Re waiting to see if it's okay.
Ria Ciuffo
I think you were so excited. You were like, I'll take it home. And when I looked at it again, I was like, she should fix that. You know, like, for it to really be 100%.
Fran Mariano
And I appreciate that. I appreciate that input.
Ria Ciuffo
And I think she's. I felt like she was a perfectionist as well. And she's like, I need to make sure that that's fixed. I have all the confidence in the world in her. But it was frightening. It was just no warning.
Fran Mariano
No warning, no warning. And when I tested her, I said, can you remind me what time on Monday? Because I knew she had the wrong time down. And she Said the wrong time. And I was like, no, actually said 2:30.
Ria Ciuffo
Right, right, right.
Fran Mariano
She's like, oh, right, right. 2:30.
Ria Ciuffo
I'm like, when we were there, there was two other brides that came in, all with the same time appointment as you. But she had different times for everybody.
Fran Mariano
She had different times written down for everybody. Everybody said no. We all got like.
Ria Ciuffo
We're like, no, every. It's 5:30. She's like, no, you were supposed to be five. You were supposed to be 5:15.
Fran Mariano
You're supposed to be 5:30. I'm like, oh, my God. But I actually, I feel good about it.
Ria Ciuffo
I.
Fran Mariano
After I called her on Saturday and she yelled at me and said, why are you stressing? I said, oh, she's not worried about this.
Ria Ciuffo
I think you're going to be so happy when you go, yes. And. And it's like, totally perfect.
Fran Mariano
Right, Right. I'm really excited about that. I'm also excited about the fact that everybody seems to be wanting to dress to the nines for this occasion. Like, hell yeah. I love it. Like, Kelly Keys was sending me some dresses and I'm like, fucking go for it, Kelly. Like, like, I love that everyone, like, wants to wear their absolute best. I love it.
Ria Ciuffo
It's like a New York. New York City wedding. Yeah, like New York City night out.
Fran Mariano
Brooklyn, you know? I love it. I'm so excited to see, like, I'm excited to see what everyone else.

Fran Mariano
How was your weekend?
Ria Ciuffo
Weekend was lovely. We were out on Long island with Joe's family. Was mixed. Mixed Easter.
Fran Mariano
Love it.
Ria Ciuffo
So that was great. JB and Gio were with us. Like my grandma was with us as well, which was. Which was wonderful. We had a couple stragglers. Like my friend Ally was in the city solo this weekend. So she came out as well. Nice. You know, Meemaw was immediately like, you're single. Who can I set you up with? The wheel started turning for Ali. So that's her next. Meemaw's next project for sure.
Fran Mariano
But she. I won't say it. She liked her old boyfriend.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, yeah, yeah. She was like, what happened to that guy? Yeah, you know, she was. Yeah, no, that's. And I was cracking up too because she was really trying to set up Lauren with one of my brother's friends at the wedding. And like, it's just not. That would just not be a thing. And she remembered it. She was like, what happened with Lauren? And you know, this kid, she was like, she really liked him like that. Really. She was really interested. I was like, no, she wasn't.
Fran Mariano
She wasn't interested. You were making.
Ria Ciuffo
Men were interested. You were making me a thing. Yeah, but they were. That was not a thing. But no, it was so much fun. It was lovely. Got to show her around town a little bit. She hasn't been there, you know, it was a beautiful day. We got to walk down to the beach.
Fran Mariano
It was a gorgeous.
Ria Ciuffo
Dolphins in the inlet.
Fran Mariano
Oh my God.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, my God. It was stunning. Stunning. Like pot of dolphins. A lot of it, yes. And of course Mima was like in full heels. Like when she walked to the beach in her full heels. Mima, I've never really seen her in a. Maybe golfing is when I've seen her in another shoe. But I joke that she's like Barbie, where it's like if she were to take her foot out of the heel, it's just that's. It formed in that shape. She says if she wears flat shoes, it's so uncomfortable for her.
Fran Mariano
She's a classy woman.
Ria Ciuffo
Heels only.
Fran Mariano
I respect that.
Ria Ciuffo
So, no, it was great. We had a wonderful, wonderful weekend back in. You know, back. Back to the city this morning. Got on a early train and away we go for the week.
Fran Mariano
Love it. I'm super excited.
Ria Ciuffo
We did get a big delivery. I feel we should talk about it now.
Fran Mariano
We will. One more. One more thing though, I want to touch on because you reminded me when you talked about Mima. My brother in law is a sicko. We know that.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. What a start.
Fran Mariano
He. He's like, I want to set Nanno up with somebody at the wedding. I'm like, what? I like, I'm like, listen, if you can make that mission.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
He used other terms than set up. You know what I mean?
Ria Ciuffo
Right, right, right, right. You know, and I'm like, okay, thank you for that. Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Right. So.
Ria Ciuffo
But is there anybody. Are there any single ladies on the. On the Cahill side?
Fran Mariano
I'm not like, no, no.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, no, I'm saying it's not gonna come from your family.
Fran Mariano
Right?
Ria Ciuffo
Like, and like, not family, but you know. Yes.
Fran Mariano
No. You know, yeah. So I don't see how this is happening, but he's like, it's my mission.
Ria Ciuffo
Well, Godspeed. Yeah, that one.
Fran Mariano
Good luck to you.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. You know, Massive.
Fran Mariano
Right.
Ria Ciuffo
Good luck. Okay, so we. We put out. We're talking about it with. With as ever, Meghan Markle's company. We said, Megan, Duchess of Sussex, please, that we wanted to get to the jam. The jam sold out so fast. Now. Heather. Shout out Heather.
Fran Mariano
Shout out Heather.
Ria Ciuffo
She ordered two jams and so she put one in the mail for us to send for us. Wait, so we have the as ever raspberry spread. Let me do a unveil.
Fran Mariano
Open it up.
Ria Ciuffo
Wait. Oh, it's sliding. Oh, this is that slide.
Fran Mariano
Wow. Now pop the top into the microphone.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, I know, but I'll do a little. Yep. So this is. Here it is. As ever raspberry spread. It looks fantastic. Manufactured for as ever enterprises. We got refrigerate after Hope. I mean, this is this bad boys coming home with me. But we are. I toasted a little bagel. I know this is not the proper vehicle. If we had more time to prep, I probably would have gotten like a. Or like a buttery croissant. Like, you know, something to really try it out.
Fran Mariano
But.
Ria Ciuffo
But when I saw it on the package on my desk this morning. So we have to do this.
Fran Mariano
We have to try it.
Ria Ciuffo
So we're going to do a little scoop.
Fran Mariano
Pop it open. Nice, nice. Now.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh.
Fran Mariano
Oh, give me. Let me smell it.
Ria Ciuffo
It smells amazing.
Fran Mariano
What I'm fearful of is chewing into the microphone. So I guess we just have to give everyone a warning that that happens.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. We prepare everyone. We are gonna take a little bite of something, so.
Fran Mariano
And it looks like the consistency is really nice.
Ria Ciuffo
It does, it does. Okay, so I have a little toast. This was like, I warmed up this bagel. Now, it's probably not that warm since it's been sitting here.
Fran Mariano
It's like 20 minutes. It's not too bad.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, but we'll take a little taste. I did put a little cream cheese if we wanted to try it.
Fran Mariano
Try it with a little bit of.
Ria Ciuffo
Regular and then like, maybe a little. With a little cream cheese as well. So I'll prepare your side here. Oh, it is a very light.
Fran Mariano
It seems like it's a very easy spread. Very spreadable.
Ria Ciuffo
I'm gonna give you just this little.
Fran Mariano
Bite right here, and then I'll add cream cheese after so that you can have that little.
Ria Ciuffo
I kind of tried to scoop it out a little.
Fran Mariano
Very nice.
Ria Ciuffo
More toast, like.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, I'll wait for you.
Ria Ciuffo
I mean, I'm really excited about the consistency of this. Like, I feel like you can see the seeds and everything. Yum. Okay. All right.
Fran Mariano
Shall we. Should we move it away? Should we move the microphones away? I'm looking at the producers in the room.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, we can.
C
Why? So we don't hear you chewing?
Fran Mariano
Yeah, just so the chewing's not too bad. Okay.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh.
C
Oh, that's nice. Asmr.
Ria Ciuffo
I thought you were gonna give me a little. A little cheers mid bite.
Fran Mariano
A really good jam. Wow.
Ria Ciuffo
Now, it is sweet. It is sweet and it is tart, but I like my raspberry. I want my raspberry jam to pop. I wanted to have that Holy shit. Sweet tartness with it.
Fran Mariano
I'm in love with that jam. That's really good.
Ria Ciuffo
Wow.
Fran Mariano
Oh, my God.
Ria Ciuffo

Ria Ciuffo
I know. It's okay.
Fran Mariano
Wow, that is some good jam. Megan. Megan, you just changed my whole opinion on you with just a little bit of jam. I knew that's all it'd take. I'm such a jam whore. That's all it would take was a little jam.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, Was actually trying the jam. Yeah. Mmm.

Grandpapa.
Ria Ciuffo
Wow.
Fran Mariano
Amazing.
Ria Ciuffo
Wow. That is. I never doubted you. I never doubted you.
Fran Mariano
I'm not even fucking around. That is some incredible jam.
Ria Ciuffo
It's really. I'm thinking of all the other things that she said online that you can use it for, you know? It's so true. Maybe we'll just. It'd be a great. On a dessert because it has that sweet, Like a little raspberry vanilla ice cream situation.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Of the raspberry spread. Yeah.
Fran Mariano
I'm thinking, like, on a. On a spreadable breed cheese on a crowd. Oh, my God. My spidey senses are tingling. Wow.
Ria Ciuffo
Wow. That just made me even happier to start the day.
Fran Mariano
Really. That was a great start to the day.
Ria Ciuffo
Good bite. Good bite. Thank you, Heather. Thank you, Heather, for stepping up and sending me your extra jam. Because honestly, I wouldn't have parted with two. This is like liquid gold.
Fran Mariano
It is.
Ria Ciuffo
And you can't get your hands on this.
Fran Mariano
You can't.
Ria Ciuffo
It's all sold out. And she said, you know what? I only need one. You can have the second one. I. She might need the second one.
Fran Mariano
I'm having a very irrational fear. Just hit me.
Ria Ciuffo
What?
Fran Mariano
That we just got poisoned from the jam?
Ria Ciuffo
We're certainly not. We're certainly not poisoned.
Fran Mariano
Irrational fear just hit.
Ria Ciuffo
You think Heather poisoned us?
Fran Mariano
I don't know. No.
Ria Ciuffo
No. Well, first of all, the seal popped.
Fran Mariano
You're right. You're right.
Ria Ciuffo
When I opened it, you're right. So.
Fran Mariano
No, I wouldn't put that on Heather. I would not put that on Heather. I know that Heather. No, I trust Heather listener. Absolutely.
Ria Ciuffo
Exactly. I trust Heather wholeheartedly. Heather also gave me a lot of Paris recommendations when I went last year, and she sent me some really nice places.
Fran Mariano
Heather has taste.
Ria Ciuffo
Heather has class and taste.
Fran Mariano
Yes, she does.
Ria Ciuffo

Give it up for the jam, man.
Fran Mariano
Wow.
Ria Ciuffo
Give it up for the jam.
Fran Mariano
That was just fucking delightful.
Ria Ciuffo
That was really, really good.
Fran Mariano
All right, well, let's get on with the show so you can explore that jam.
Ria Ciuffo
That's lingering.
Fran Mariano
It is.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep.
Fran Mariano
I'm, like, keeping that in my. In my mouth for a while.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
I don't plan on brushing my teeth for a little bit just so I can keep that jam in my mouth.
Ria Ciuffo
Delish.
Fran Mariano
Whoa. What a start.
Ria Ciuffo
Done. Megan, I knew we would like it, but I'm.
Fran Mariano
I knew we'd like it, but I didn't know I'd like it that much. Yep, that's fucking delish.
Ria Ciuffo
I agree.
Fran Mariano
That's really good. I agree. So much so I keep cursing like I have a potty mouth all of a sudden when it comes to this jam. That's what it'll do to you. Jam will give you a potty mouth.
Ria Ciuffo
She's got to start. Make sure they're. They gotta be bottling more of these bad boys up.
Fran Mariano
Come on, come on, let's get on it. Megan, because we need that jam asap. I want that jam by my birthday. I'm giving her a deadline. Midsummer. You better have more jam on.
Ria Ciuffo
Better be another restock.
Fran Mariano
There better be.
Ria Ciuffo
Well, now we know when it comes again, we'll be setting our alarms to make sure we're. I'll be up early asap for sure.
Fran Mariano
Well, we actually won't have to be up early because it's.
Ria Ciuffo
No, it's normally.
Fran Mariano
It'll be noon time.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah.
Fran Mariano
Exactly 9:00am all right, let's get into the rest of the show. We're going to be talking about Coachella weekend. Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer are married. Tyla had a weird response about being compared to Britney Spears, his inspiration outfit. Alan and Emma confirmed Dancing with the Stars. Little romance on stage are Billy Roy Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley dating Random. And the Clueless series is happening with Alicia Silverstone at Peacock. And we have the weekly watch port. So let's get into the topics. They don't make it easy to buy concert tickets these days. You gotta sign up for the presale, get in the queue, and by the time you get through, the best seats are gone. Going to a concert should be about the show itself, not waiting in a virtual line. You just maybe want to wait in line to get into the show, but you don't want to wait in a virtual line online. Lucky for us, we always use Game Time, the official ticketing partner of Barstool Sports. Game Time makes getting tickets faster and easier.

I still think, you know, a lot of people go to weekend too.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
I just think social media wise, you don't have all the brands, you don't have all the influencers. They're all heading out their weekend one. You do have the celebrities, the. The returnees that go for weekend two. Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber. They were there again, of course. Non stop videos.
C
I mean, don't they have something better to do?
Fran Mariano
I'm just saying, some concerning videos.
Ria Ciuffo
I'm not gonna lie.
Fran Mariano
Concerning videos. And we didn't even get to talk about the sexy Red video last week.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
That Justin posted on his Instagram that Haley commented with heart eye emojis. I don't care. That's. That's not a real comment. You're not thrilled that Justin Bieber is kissing another woman like that?
Ria Ciuffo
Something's fishy. Come on. What's going on?
Fran Mariano
Come on.
Ria Ciuffo
Literally, like, I saw Complex post a video of him during. I don't know, whatever. Now I forget what it was, but Complex was the video. And literally all the comments were like, you shouldn't have even posted this because he does not look well. So it's like, that's the level that we're at now. You know, it's not good.
Fran Mariano
Is.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. I don't like seeing it.
Fran Mariano
I feel sad about it.
Ria Ciuffo
Very. And I don't know, I also don't know, like, how you see if I'm like the social I'm having. There's a real test there for whoever's running that social media because if they're watching that video first, I don't know how they're not like, you know, maybe not a great one to share.
Fran Mariano
Right. You know, but any people will do. I mean, they're gonna do.
Ria Ciuffo
He was back. Haley was back. They were with Kylie's as well Sunday.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. Did look like they were with Kylie.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yep. People were criticizing them walking around, like, all so far apart from each other. But I'm like, that's what they always do.
C
I feel like if it was sexy Reggie, he wouldn't be far apart from each other.
Ria Ciuffo
I feel like there's always big. Not them. I feel like there's always a big gap.
Fran Mariano
But he's always next to that one guy.
Ria Ciuffo
He's always with the security guard.
Fran Mariano
New friend? No.
Ria Ciuffo
Matthew Espinosa.
Fran Mariano
No.
C
But the walking apart is weird. Like, no one else does that. Like, they've always done that, but it's weird.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. I don't know.
C
Eddie are walking right next to.
Fran Mariano
He's always next to Eddie Benjamin, who is apparently an Australian singer.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh.
Fran Mariano
And they're. They're always like, hip and Hip.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran Mariano
More than he is with Haley.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Lately they've been hip and hip.
Ria Ciuffo
Right. Right. Yeah. I don't know. I saw they. I guess they.
Fran Mariano
But I guess when you're walking through a crowd, but then like, you're walking through a crowd, you would think that they would be, like, looking at. I don't know. I'm trying not to read too much into it because I just feel bad about whatever is happening with Justin B.
Ria Ciuffo
I don't even bite my tongue because I just don't even.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
It all feels. We've talked about it a million times, but it all feels, like, icky.
Fran Mariano
Right. It's getting repetitive at this point of like, you know. Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
I don't know what's going on, but it doesn't. It doesn't seem. It doesn't seem good. But there's a lot. Everybody, you know, obviously the same performances. Ed Sheeran was in the mix for second weekend and I. He performed at a. At one of the other stages, not the main one. Right. And everyone was like, he filled him for Weezer. Yeah.
C
But that stage, like, I guess was not a great stage.
Ria Ciuffo
I just love that. Yeah. I just love that. Everyone's like, I love Ed Sheeran. Like, it's just. He's available. You know, it's a. You need him. He shows up, he's reliable, he's there. He puts on a great show, great music. He seems like such a great guy. Listened to him on Caller Daddy recently too. And I just think he's. He's just a J. Yeah, he really is. He's. He's just seems like a good guy. And then they were also doing those, like, I don't even know where they were. Like, where was he when he was singing that song with Alex Warren?
C
Oh, yeah. It was like some pop up.
Ria Ciuffo
But I'm like, yeah, like a little pop up. It looked very intimate. Like, it looked like it was a living room.
C
Like a lot of bars just like, pop up because.
Ria Ciuffo
Right.
C
He bought a pub. He Owns a pub now in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yeah. And he's. He has a pub in his own house. But, yeah, wherever it was, I guess it was whatever. Like, they did it at Coachella, and he had Alex Warren come up and they sang Ordinary, and it was beautiful.
Fran Mariano
I feel like I hear that song everywhere now.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, I know you 100% ordinary. Yeah.
Fran Mariano
And that's the only word I know.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. And Ed Sheeran was like, we just. I just met him. We practiced once, and, like, now it's. I think the song is, like, amazing. It's so true. I really didn't know a lot about Alex Warren.
C
I don't even know I saw the video. But.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, no, you. You would. Because he actually is, like. He's got that major YouTube backstory.
Fran Mariano
Yes. I just remember him being, like, a part of the Hype House. The Hype House. Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
He, like, was one of the founders. Founding members of the Hype House, and he's been in that vet. Like, a very public relationship.
Fran Mariano
They had their wedding and the other.
Ria Ciuffo
Wedding, and there was, like, a lot. Remember, there was a lot of, like, other social media content creators at the wedding, and somebody, like, filmed, like, the whole wedding, and they were like, what?
Fran Mariano
Right.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Nobody's gonna lie.
Ria Ciuffo
Goes live on Instagram from the church. Like a classic diplo.
C
Like, here we are. Here she.
Fran Mariano
Here she comes out.
C
Rhea, say hi.
Ria Ciuffo
Viewers are going up, up, up.
Fran Mariano
Oh, that's funny.
Ria Ciuffo
But I didn't realize he had. I didn't realize he had a voice like that. He has a beautiful voice.
Fran Mariano
He does. And I. And I think people, for a little bit, like, wrote him off because of the Hype House stuff, but, yeah, they're like, oh, no, his. His music's good. Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. I mean, the ordinary is. I feel like I hear it in everything.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Big. You know, it's a beautiful song. And. And he sang it with that chair, and it was lovely.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, that's. That's amazing.
Ria Ciuffo
So lovely. Trying to see anything else. Benson Boone played a little prank, pranky prank on everybody. Because after last week, when nobody was hyped about Brian May coming out, when he. When he sang Bohemian Rhapsody, he did it again, but this time he just put up a cardboard cutout of Brian May. Funny.
Fran Mariano
Yes, funny. And Benson Boone made a TikTok, and he was like, I don't understand the. Like, when people say, I don't know why I hate Benson Boone, I just do. He's like, it would be different if you said, like, I hate him because he flips off everything yeah, right. I hate him because of that one.
Ria Ciuffo
Give me a reason.
Fran Mariano
He's like, I'm literally giving you guys ideas on why to hate me. Like, why you're saying you hate me for no reason.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Which is so true. Like, he's an extremely talented guy. You know, he did have a song that popped off that happens. Like, why is he to blame for that?
Ria Ciuffo
Right.
Fran Mariano
You know, the being overplayed. He had a great song and people are like, I don't know why I hate him.
Ria Ciuffo
I just know I'm just more sick of the song instead of him, you know?
Fran Mariano
And he commented back to somebody being like, that's very fair. Because somebody wrote like, I think people overplaying your song has made them just like, whatever. And he was like, that's fair.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
So. But he's like, just don't say you hate me for no reason. Like, at least give a reason.
Ria Ciuffo
Completely valid. Yeah, but I thought the cardboard cutout thing was funny.
Fran Mariano
Very funny.
Ria Ciuffo
So that was good. Gaga probably fucking crushed it again. I didn't see as many clips as Weekend one. She had a little microphone mic malfunction, but she was like, you know, at least you know, I'm singing live, which.
Fran Mariano
I love that she comments on. We do know that people's tech talks.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
C
You know, you see that there's a video where she had commented on a guy's tick tock about like, he's like, what should I wear to Lady Gaga's set? And she commented like, wear that. And then he was in the front row and like, she came up to him and like, recognized him.
Fran Mariano
Apparently, you know, that's Lady Gaga, you know, Love that. She's just the best. And Charli xcx, oh, Green Day wearing the sash that said actual headliner. People are like, oh, they're feuding. I think it's just fun banter.
C
And he was wearing the brat hat on stage.
Ria Ciuffo
What's the brat hat?
C
Just a hat that says brat.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh. I thought there was like a specific, a specific style.
Fran Mariano
Just a little brat, you know?
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah. I don't know how much she, she tweeted.
C
She said obsessed. So I feel like.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Having fun with it.
Ria Ciuffo
Right at that point. It's like, yeah.
Fran Mariano
She's like, I laughs and she's like, you have to respect that they're doing.
Ria Ciuffo
Charlie has that British humor, you know, she really likes. I'm sure her humor is really. When you're, you're, you're taking the piss out of each other. Right?
Fran Mariano
That's what they call it.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, that's what. That's what they say.
Fran Mariano
They're good at that.
Ria Ciuffo
They are.
Fran Mariano
They're very good at that.
Ria Ciuffo
Are. They are.
Fran Mariano
But yeah, it seemed right.
Ria Ciuffo
I think she was maybe teasing new music or teasing other people's new era.
C
She was teasing other people's like.
Ria Ciuffo
It was like my time, my brat. Summer is.
C
It was a lot of different.
Ria Ciuffo
And now let's get excited for these people.
Fran Mariano
I love that. Addison Rae on stage. Addison Rae's releasing her album this summer.
Ria Ciuffo
She did put out a new music. New song on Friday. That was pretty catchy too. Headphones. Headphones on. Something like that.
Fran Mariano
Addison Ray. Catchy songs.
Ria Ciuffo
She does. I listen to Diet Pepsi often.
Fran Mariano
It's a good song.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Who's to say her album won't be like album of the summer?
Ria Ciuffo
I put headphones on. I saw it when it came up on New Music Friday. I was like, well, I'll give it a listen.
Fran Mariano
Why not?
Ria Ciuffo
And I was. It was, you know, it's catchy.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
She's just like in this pop girl. You know what I mean?
Ria Ciuffo
Yep.
Fran Mariano
They're embracing her too. They're embracing her with open arms.
Ria Ciuffo
Totally.
Fran Mariano
So excited to see what we get from that.
Ria Ciuffo
Yes.
Fran Mariano
A little fun.
Ria Ciuffo
That was really about it. I didn't see too much other big activities.
Fran Mariano
Me neither. And I didn't see many outfits or.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, just like more. At least online. A more. A more chill vibe.
Fran Mariano
Chill presence online.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep.
Fran Mariano
Almost to the point where I forgot Coachella weekend too.
C
Seems like weekend really is like the weekend.
Fran Mariano
Well, I think if you enjoy music, you would enjoy either. Either part of me also would be.
C
Like, unless they switch up the sets and shows and everything. Like. Yeah, you kind of like. It kind of gets spoiled almost a little bit. You know what I'm saying?
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, but, but, but if you're going the second week, like, if I'm going the second weekend, I'm not at home streaming the first weekend.
Fran Mariano
No. I'm just like, oh, I'll see it the second weekend. I think if you're going for the love of.
Ria Ciuffo
I think the vibes of the festival are probably still great.
C
It's just probably better. They. Yeah. I feel like Charlie XCX and people were kind of like shitting on the Weekend one people.
Fran Mariano
They were.
C
Let's not be like weekend one.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. Charlie XX was like that other weekend that we don't mention.
Ria Ciuffo
Right.
Fran Mariano
Which was. Which was funny to see. Moving on, some exciting news. Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer married this weekend in la. Little ceremony. Congratulations.
Ria Ciuffo
It's amazing.
Fran Mariano
Wonderful.
Ria Ciuffo
I don't really know too much about Dylan.
Fran Mariano
Neither do I. But I'm happy for Kristin.
Ria Ciuffo
What is her.
C
Screenwriter.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, she's another. Yeah, she's a screenwriter.
C
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, amazing. Screenwriter. All smiles. You know, sometimes I'm like. I'm like, how does TMZ get these pictures?
Fran Mariano
Actress, screenwriter, film director does it all.
Ria Ciuffo
It's like an aerial view photo where, like, where did these pictures come out of? TMZ get these pictures. Helicopter. Sources familiar with the situation tell DMZ that Krista Stewart and fiance Dylan Meyer said, I do during an intimate ceremony at her Los Angeles home on Sunday. You know what I'm saying? Like, so how.
Fran Mariano
Right? Like, how do they know that's going on?
Ria Ciuffo
Aerial.
C
Los Angeles home just takes one person.
Fran Mariano
One person a slip and say that.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, but it's like, it's from high up.
Fran Mariano
But then I would be like, in. In the small group of people that I have at my house, I'd be like, which one of you slip?
Ria Ciuffo
Right.
Fran Mariano
Exactly. Who can I not trust? Did you see Khloe Kardashian talking on Call Her Daddy about how her therapist her, like, when they were going to couples therapy.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Therapists leaked stuff to the. To the headlines.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, to the press.
Fran Mariano
To the press. That is so sick.
Ria Ciuffo
No, that's crazy.
Fran Mariano
It probably takes a long time for you to trust somebody again after that.
Ria Ciuffo
That's like the one rule, right?
C
And legal thing.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, it is.
Fran Mariano
It's hipaa.
Ria Ciuffo
But yes, I think she. She kind of said that she didn't pursue it because just. She didn't want to make it a bigger thing.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, well, she was like, I'm not gonna, like, legal action. Like, yeah, yeah, money.
Ria Ciuffo
Like, it's like, okay, it's like damage is done, you know?
Fran Mariano
Right. Like, wait, like, yeah, she has money. Was she gonna get more money from this? Like.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep.
Fran Mariano
And she said it took her a while to go back to therapy because she was hard for her to trust somebody, which I don't blame her. That's like so crazy and scary.
Ria Ciuffo
Right?
Fran Mariano
But this is like, who's finding out? Somebody in their little group had to leak it.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, there's a full blown video from above. No, more straight on. Look at that. Of it looks like the actual ceremony got.
Fran Mariano
Somebody was in the bushes.
Ria Ciuffo
This Noah, this Noah selling Noah in like the back pew.
Fran Mariano
Noah's like, wait, wait, move your head down. I can't see.
Ria Ciuffo
No, Yeah. I mean, this. I don't know. You never know, though. I could see. What if a friend takes a video and Then they send it to their mom, and then the ma. Their mom sends it to all of her friends, and then it just goes out. It just somehow makes it to tmz, you know?
Fran Mariano
Oh. Oh, oops. Yeah, it ended up in tmz.
Ria Ciuffo
Right. Like, oh, I didn't know I wasn't allowed to send it, but you would think. I mean, this is really a full. I. I'm obviously not listening to this with the sound right now because. But it's, you know, so focused on Chris. I'm reading her vibes.
Fran Mariano
Her vibes.
Ria Ciuffo
Reading her vibes.
Fran Mariano
Reading her vibes.
Ria Ciuffo
Reading her vibes.
Fran Mariano
I just cannot wait to read my vibes on Friday.
Ria Ciuffo
Like, why did vibes be the word that came out of me?
Fran Mariano
We were just talking about Coachella, maybe.
Ria Ciuffo
I'm just so chill like that. I'm just thinking about vibes all the time.
Fran Mariano
Your body is just always.
Ria Ciuffo
I'm just always giving all the vibes.
Fran Mariano
Kristen's out there.
Ria Ciuffo
Well, Kristen was reading her vows.
Fran Mariano
Yes. Which is so personal.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran Mariano
What an invasion of privacy.
Ria Ciuffo
I know.
Fran Mariano
Noah.
Ria Ciuffo
Yes.
Fran Mariano
Don't you think about it?
C
I'll mute it for that.
Ria Ciuffo
I like their. Their flowers look beautiful. The flowers that they're holding, I like. But, yeah, I don't. That's crazy. I don't know. That video is really right up there. Right up.
Fran Mariano
Very up close and personal.
Ria Ciuffo
Right up.
Fran Mariano
I mean, congratulations to them, but I feel bad that their privacy was invaded.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep.
Fran Mariano
But congratulations. Very exciting. And I just. I don't know how these things get to tmz. Oh, it'll always, you know, rattle my brain. Moving on. Tyla had a very weird response to somebody on Twitter who said that they loved the Britney Spears inspo that Tyler was wearing. She wore an outfit that was similar to the I'm a slave for you with the snake. The whole thing. The iconic outfit. Very similar, like, very obviously inspired by Britney Spears. Whether Tyler knew it or not, her stylist definitely did.
Ria Ciuffo
Right.
Fran Mariano
So she wrote. She writes back, love her, but I just thought the outfit was fly. No inspo. Somebody wrote, I personally think she's a copycat and too full of herself. And she wrote, personally, I think you should shut the up.
C
Yeah, that's my girl.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Well, here's the thing.
Ria Ciuffo
Do you think Tyler picked that outfit out herself?
Fran Mariano
No, I. I do not think you coincidentally pick out an outfit that looks so close to the Britney Spears outfit on accident with the green. I feel like her stylist must have picked out this outfit and did not tell, I guess. Did not tell Tyler that this was inspired by Britney Spears.
Ria Ciuffo
I also don't know who doesn't know about that outfit. You know, I mean, it feels like almost I was like, yeah, love her, but I just like the outfits. Like, how seeing that outfit, how is your first thought not, oh, Britney, it.
Fran Mariano
Could be possible, but, you know, I mean, looking at the outfits, it's like, no, that was 100% inspired by. By Britney Spears. Her stylists must have gotten inspired by Britney Spears, but didn't tell Tyler, this is Britney Spears inspo. Like, it just felt unnecessary for her to even, like, kind of respond, to be like, no inspo when it's so identical. Like, not identical, but it is so, so similar.
Ria Ciuffo
Very.
Fran Mariano
Like, you don't just come up with that outfit and go, not like you're putting on an outfit like that and going, britney Spears.
Ria Ciuffo
Right? I wonder if she's saying, like, no, I just, you know, threw these things. I just threw these two things together in my closet. And if that outfit together, if that's.
Fran Mariano
The case, then I feel like, like, maybe she would say that. Then I'd be like, no, I literally just throw this on. Wow, what a coincidence. Love Britney.
Ria Ciuffo
Right?
Fran Mariano
But no. And then she was like, shut the fuck up.
Ria Ciuffo
Right? It's like, it's not an insult.
Fran Mariano
No.
Ria Ciuffo
Like, she acted like that person saying, oh, Britney inspo was like a bad thing.
Fran Mariano
No. Yeah. You know, she was like, love her, but no inspo. And she was like, I just.
Ria Ciuffo
It's okay to say, yeah, your outfits inspired by an iconic outfit for sure.
Fran Mariano
And I just don't believe that that outfit wasn't inspired by Britney Spears. It had to have been.
Ria Ciuffo
I agree.
Fran Mariano
Had to have been.
Ria Ciuffo

They had their last show and they confirmed with a hot and steamy kiss to wrap up their dance.
Ria Ciuffo
So I came home Saturday night. I'm scrolling TikTok and all these videos start to pop up on my, on my for you page. And it's girls filming this dance of Emma and Alan. And they're doing their dance and he lifts her up in a lift. She drops and then they, they just smooch. And the crowd lost it. They are there screaming. Everybody's screaming bloody murder. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I literally have. Cause I was like, oh my God, I can't forget this. Cause I'm gonna forget this. To talk about on Monday, 12:38am My note just says Emma and Alan.
Fran Mariano
Very important.
Ria Ciuffo
Emma and Alan. Now for my Dancing with the Stars gals out there. There's a lot, there's a lot of lore around these two because as we know, Emma was married to Sasha. And when they broke up, there was a lot of conversation about her relationship with Alan. Like, were they friends? Was it more than friends? It's kind of been a question for a little while now. And Emma and Sasha were married. They had kind of. Sasha's older than Emma. I think they had kind of hit a point where it was like Sasha was really looking to start a family and Emma wasn't there yet. And they were just kind of on different timelines. And I, I think that's from what they've said in the press, that was like a big catalyst for, for them breaking up. And then there's just been all these like very flirty moments between Emma and Alan for a while where people are thinking, oh, there's something going on. There's something going on. They're hiding it, they're keeping a secret. And this seemed like one big final bam, one big kiss to kiss to seal the deal.
Fran Mariano
They're everywhere. Open. Yep.
Ria Ciuffo
Honestly, pretty epic. Of all the things that they could do, you know. Oh, I'm sure it could be a tick tock or all these other things. Well, you know what, Last show, let's just smooch on stage.
Fran Mariano
Let's just plant a heavy one on.
Ria Ciuffo
Each other on stage, kiss each other on the lips. What if we show everybody that we love each other?
Fran Mariano
What if we kissed at the Dancing with the Stars tour?
Ria Ciuffo
What if we kissed under the lights on stage?
Fran Mariano
What if. And they did that. So they did.
Ria Ciuffo
Now they did.
Fran Mariano
Confirmation for everyone.
Ria Ciuffo
I think that's. I think that's big confirmation for sure. I know. I think it was Ezra maybe posted a TikTok recently, and it was like him and Gleb saying that they were the only two single guys on the. On the tour at the. At the moment. But no, they get. They get very close. I mean, Emma and Alan have they. You know, they post a lot of content together, and everyone's always kind of like, ooh, eyeball emoji.
Fran Mariano
Like, what's going on here?
Ria Ciuffo
There's certainly some flirty moments, but I think that really. I think that really confirmed it. Alan, to me, seems so much younger than he is. I don't know if it's just because he has.
Fran Mariano
He just looks like.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Like, he just has a. Like a baby face, but he is 30, so that's not, you know, it's not crazy.
Fran Mariano
I don't know. He's young.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. He's 30. And Emma's 36.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
So, yeah, I just. I was like, wow. But didn't really. I mean, the dancing world is. The professional dancing world, I think, is already so small. And then they put all these people on Dance with the Stars, and it's so very incestuous behind the scenes.
Fran Mariano
It is. I mean, they're dancing, they're close.
Ria Ciuffo
It's. It's steamy.
Fran Mariano
I went married couples.
Ria Ciuffo
I mean, Pasha and Daniela married. Jenna and Val married. Max and PETA married.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
It's a lot.
Fran Mariano
Spending a lot of time together.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
Fran Mariano
Dancing up on.
Ria Ciuffo
There's been plenty of others that have been together, broken up, or, you know, you got to work with your ex now they're all together and. Yeah. Kind of crazy.
Fran Mariano
It is really crazy. Have you ever seen the ballroom hair, TikToks?
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
I went down a rabbit hole of ASMR removing my ballroom dance hair this weekend.
Ria Ciuffo
I just. I see the same girl all the time that her hair is just out. Like, it's. It's, like, rock hard, and it's in, like, waves across the front of her face, you know? And yet he's crazy. Seeing that.
Fran Mariano
I'm, like, watching them wash it out.
Ria Ciuffo
I know. I always. The comments are like, you can't convince me that this hair is necessary for ballroom dance.
Fran Mariano
It just feels like a little less gel.
Ria Ciuffo
Right.
Fran Mariano
Would suffice.
Ria Ciuffo
Right? Like, I think you could totally.
Fran Mariano
But we're not ballroom dancers.
Ria Ciuffo
No, we're not.
Fran Mariano
We don't.
Ria Ciuffo
We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not. But it's like, I feel like you could attain that look without taking it to that level. But. But they don't want one single hair budging. They can't afford to have it happen. They can't point just. They just can't afford to have that happen. So they probably go through cans of. Cans of hairspray a week, and it's like you knock on it makes a hard sound.
Fran Mariano
It's rock solid.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, it is.
Fran Mariano
And it's addicting to watch. So now that I mention it, it'll pop up.
Ria Ciuffo
I don't even know how these girls still have hair on their head.
Fran Mariano
I know, it's impressive.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Still like healthy, gorgeous hair.
Ria Ciuffo
Right?
Fran Mariano
What kind of hair masks are they doing to protect that? I want to know.
Ria Ciuffo
Easy.
Fran Mariano
So moving on to a bizarre.
Ria Ciuffo
What the hell was this?
Fran Mariano
Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus are dating. I saw the Instagram kissing. A kissing on the cheek picture, really out of nowhere. Threw everyone nowhere.
Ria Ciuffo
It was just like, Happy Easter.
Fran Mariano
Happy Easter from Elizabeth Harley.
Ria Ciuffo
Random pairing.
Fran Mariano
Very random. By the way, have you seen that Noah Cyrus is back in the mix?
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, I saw.
Fran Mariano
Noah Cyrus is back in, doing TikToks with Tish.
Ria Ciuffo
Did the podcast.
Fran Mariano
Going on the podcast. Something must have happened. They've made up. But now Billy Ray is with Elizabeth Hurley.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Feels really out of nowhere. Whatever happened to fire hose?
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, really? That was. It ended in disaster.
Fran Mariano
You know that, right, Right. Yes.
Ria Ciuffo
Divorce.
Fran Mariano
Yep.
Ria Ciuffo
Bad. I think there was, you know, abuse allegations.
Fran Mariano
Oh, right, right, right, right.
Ria Ciuffo
It was.
Fran Mariano
I'm recalling now.
Ria Ciuffo
Yes, it was. It was bad, bad news. Bad, bad news. But they just like, I don't know. And not only was it an Instagram post, it was a joint Instagram post on Easter of these two together.
Fran Mariano
Really?
Ria Ciuffo
I don't know how. I don't know how this happened. I really don't. You know what's crazy, though? I will say at first glance from the picture, because of, like, I don't know if it's like the outfit she's in or whatever. I thought it was Tish.
Fran Mariano
I knew you were gonna say that.
Ria Ciuffo
I thought it was Tish.
Fran Mariano
No, that would have been the hat.
Ria Ciuffo
The pigtails, the big sunglasses.
Fran Mariano
I was like, oh, that would have been jaw dropping.
Ria Ciuffo
I was like, and then when I realized it was posted by Elizabeth Hurley, I. I had to. I was. I was like, something's wrong. I was like, that's not Elizabeth Hurley. I was double checking her Instagram. No, it really is. Happy Easter. Smiley face. Yeah.
Fran Mariano
I think if that was Tish, I would have flew to Nashville or Tennessee, wherever he is, and personally removed her from the premises. I would have been like, tish, come on.
Ria Ciuffo
Right? What happened? No, no, no.
Fran Mariano
Get out of here. Get out of here.
Ria Ciuffo
100%.
Fran Mariano
How did these two.
Ria Ciuffo
The questions I have, endless, endless. How did they meet? What. What spark did they have? How did they get to the point that she looks like she's full blown country gal on the ranch celebrating Easter?
Fran Mariano
No, I don't. I don't know. I don't know.
Ria Ciuffo
Looks like she's down in Tennessee. She's got the whole get up and everything. British superstar.
Fran Mariano
I don't.
Ria Ciuffo
Elizabeth Hurley.
Fran Mariano
I don't understand. I don't get it.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yep. I feel like she has not had, you know, there's been some questionable choices, but. And then there's this page 6 articles written about her son seemingly giving his approval because he, like, commented, like, little party, smiley face.
Fran Mariano
Oh, his son's giving a portal party, while Billy Ray's son is like, dad, you know, come home.
Ria Ciuffo
Right. I feel like it was only like a month ago that Trace was like. I mean, maybe it was more than a month, but it's been.
Fran Mariano
It was this past year, it's been.
Ria Ciuffo
Recent where he was like, hey, you have a major problem. Right.
Fran Mariano
And like, what?
Ria Ciuffo
Like, alcohol is throwing a major divide.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
And I think it also says something maybe that if Noah is back, you know, in good turn on good terms with Tishta. Like, she. It seemed like at least from what Trace was saying, she was really trying to get through to Billy Ray.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. Maybe she saw the light and was like, there's no getting through to this guy. I gotta make up with my mom.
Ria Ciuffo
Right. Like, do you think even the kids probably see that picture? They're like, what the.
Fran Mariano
Like, Elizabeth Hurley, dad. Hurley, what happened?
Ria Ciuffo
What? Yeah, why? I know. Yeah. I, I Carumba.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. It's actually the perfect response.
Ria Ciuffo
You know, it's just the perfect response. Like, this is.
Fran Mariano
What the hell?
Ria Ciuffo
What the hell, man?
Fran Mariano
What the heck? What the hell?
Ria Ciuffo
What's going on here?
Fran Mariano
No, what's going on?
Ria Ciuffo
It's crazy.
Fran Mariano
Last time.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, Billy Ray get together. Elizabeth also blink twice, you know, like, what's going on?
Fran Mariano
I mean, she's transformed her life.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Last topic, Alicia Silverstone will be in the Clueless series, which is coming to Peacock. I mean, we got the Legally Blonde series, we got the Clueless series. I'm taking it all. You know, at some points I'm like, why do we need to redo greatness and this and that? And at other times, I'm like, you know what? Give me this. The nostalgia. I'll take it. I love it. Give it to me and I'll feed into it. Actually, now that I'm talking, I'm really happy to hear that Alicia Silverstone is alive because remember.
Ria Ciuffo
My God.
Fran Mariano
No, remember recently, this was in the past year where she was like, I picked this fruit off the tree, I'm gonna eat it. And everyone was commenting like, don't eat it, don't eat it. And then she never. And then, like, it was like, silence. Everyone was like, what happened? Like, she don't remember this?
Ria Ciuffo
No.
Fran Mariano
Literally, this past year now I feel like I'm going crazy when I look it up. But Alicia Silverstone was, like, filming herself about to eat, like some fruit off a tree. And everyone was like, no. And then it was just silence. Everyone was like, did. Is she okay? Wow. Yeah, she. She posted a video on TikTok of herself eating a fruit she found on the street in London, which was later identified as a Jerusalem cherry. This plant, also known as a winter cherry or Christmas cherry, is part of the nightshade family and it's considered poisonous if ingested. So she, in this video, posted that she wasn't sure what it was and if she should eat it. And then everybody was commenting.
Ria Ciuffo
She wasn't actually eating it. No.
Fran Mariano
But she was going to eat it.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, yeah.
Fran Mariano
And then everyone, everyone commented like, don't eat it. And then she went silent for a bit. And honestly, I haven't gotten an update since. And now I feel all is good. All is good.
C
This was August, saw this headline, oh.
Fran Mariano
She'S alive, August 2024.
Ria Ciuffo
So, wow. So we're, you know, months later, we was like, wow, glad she didn't eat that cherry.
Fran Mariano
Really? She said, oh, yeah. Because she goes, I just bit into it because it was on the street. And we were discussing whether this was a tomato or not. So she did bite into it and people were like, what?
Ria Ciuffo
Who's picking up fruit off the street?
Fran Mariano
Alicia Silverstone. Look.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, I see it now.
Fran Mariano
Mm.
Ria Ciuffo
That feels like something no one should do.
Fran Mariano
Uh huh. And then she just went dark for a little bit. Couple days. And then I guess I never saw the update.
Ria Ciuffo
My God.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Well, let Me tell you, she's back in action and she's back as Cher because, yeah, she is going to reprise her role of Cher Horowitz in a Clueless sequel series at Peacock. The show is currently in development. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps. Aside from the fact that the show will serve as a follow up to the cult classic film Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are attached to, right along with Jordan Weiss. All three will executive produce. Silverstone will executive produce in addition to starring Amy Hecker. Heck Heckerling, who wrote and directed the film, and Robert Lawrence, who produced the film, also serve as eps. And that's really all the details.
Fran Mariano
Is Paul Rudd coming back?
Ria Ciuffo
We don't know.
Fran Mariano
I bet he makes an appearance. Yeah, that'd be so Paul Rudd.
Ria Ciuffo
So this is a. This is a completely different Clueless series than the one that had been set up at Peacock in 2020, but ultimately did not go forward. That show, with a completely different creative team, was described as more of a mystery series in which Cher disappeared and focused instead on her best friend.
Fran Mariano
No.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yeah. I feel like she didn't need to disappear.
Fran Mariano
It doesn't have to be Clue.
Ria Ciuffo
Clue.
Fran Mariano
Right. Clue doesn't have to happen.
Ria Ciuffo
Right, right, right, right. For sure. For sure. So whatever happened in 2020 with Peacock in this show, they said, no, no, no, scrap completely. And they're doing Clueless in a different way again. But we don't really have any other details but that. That she's going to be back.
Fran Mariano
Hey, I'll take it.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Lives on.
Ria Ciuffo
We all know Paul Rudd could come back because everybody loves to say he looks exactly the same.
Fran Mariano
He does.
Ria Ciuffo
You know, people love to use those pictures of him from Clueless and be like. And then his pictures from today. From, you know, today and say, look at this man.
Fran Mariano
Paul Rudd doesn't age.
Ria Ciuffo
Doesn't age.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Timeless.
C
People forget his parents are cousins.
Fran Mariano
They do. They do forget that. Yeah. What?
C
His parents are cousins.
Fran Mariano
You've brought this up before. You have on the podcast.
C
He's a product of incest.
Ria Ciuffo
I don't remember this at all.
C
I did bring it up when I first heard it.
Ria Ciuffo
I was like, wait, cousins?
Fran Mariano
They're not.
C
Not first.
Fran Mariano
Well, I mean, does it matter? They're not first cousins. But they're.
Ria Ciuffo
Well, they're. Look, I'm not. I'm not condoning any cousin on cousin relationships.
C
They're not.
Ria Ciuffo
But, like, when you hear cousins, I. My first immediate thought goes, are first cousins. Which.
Fran Mariano
Their cousins.
Ria Ciuffo
Second cousins.
Fran Mariano
Also second cousin. Second cousins is crazy.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
First cousin. Second Cousins?
Ria Ciuffo
No, for sure.
Fran Mariano
You get to like, fifth cousins.
C
You know, second cousin. Like, I hung out with my second cousins.
Fran Mariano
Yes, of course, your second cousin.
Ria Ciuffo
But it's interesting because it's like, did they not know they were second cousins?
C
I would hope not.
Fran Mariano
No, I don't think they did.
Ria Ciuffo
Which is kind of crazy because they said the information was revealed during an episode of the PBS series finding your roots. But it's like, how do you not know?
C
Yeah, how did you.
Ria Ciuffo
It's like your mom's is your parents, cousins, kids. But I guess maybe if your parents, like, don't know all their cousins, but.
C
Like, what are the odds that you end up with your cousin? Like out of all the people.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, Yep.
C
But hey, yeah, we have Paul Rudd.
Ria Ciuffo
They share a great grandparent.
C
That's, that's insane. Imagine you share a. Yeah, I gotta.
Fran Mariano
Look deeper into this. Gotta find out the background story.
Ria Ciuffo
Right. Second cousins.
Fran Mariano
Second cousins, yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
That's crazy Reddit thread about it. Paul Rudd's parents. You're barely related to a second cousin that says. Too tired to do the math.
Fran Mariano
Exactly.
Ria Ciuffo
But it's about 1 to 4% DNA that you share with each other.
Fran Mariano
I don't know. Second cousin sounds a lot like first cousins. You know, I know they're not first.
Ria Ciuffo
Cousins, but first, no, no. I, I, I guess maybe it's different because they're, I feel like the families that we grew up in, like we, we know our second cousins.
Fran Mariano
Some people don't know their second cousins.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yeah. You know, there's not a world. There's a, you know, some, some parents don't even, maybe don't have a relationship with their cousin and they meet and.
Fran Mariano
Then somehow they find out that they're second cousins and they're in love, you know?
Ria Ciuffo
Or you just have no idea. Yeah, but it's crazy. Like your parents, your parents aren't like, wait, your new boyfriend is my cousin's son.
Fran Mariano
Last name. Right. You know the last name?
Ria Ciuffo
Anything?
Fran Mariano
Yeah, I don't know, maybe it could be a total cut off until the.
C
Wedding where that you see people, you.
Fran Mariano
Know, you're like, wait a second, wait, it's only one family here.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Ryder Groom said both.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. Interesting.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Well, I am excited for the series, though.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yeah, definitely.
Fran Mariano
I'll take it all at this point.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. They're going to remake everything.
Fran Mariano
They are.
Ria Ciuffo
It's just bound to happen.
Fran Mariano
It is. And you know what, we'll just.
Ria Ciuffo
So at this point. Yeah, we got to roll with it.
Fran Mariano
Sure. All right, that wraps up the topics.
Ria Ciuffo

Alright, let's get into the weekly Watch Report where we talk about the things we watch this week. Weekly Wild Report on Monday. Weekly Wild Report on Monday. Weekly Wild Report on Monday. Weekly Wild Report on Monday. So I didn't watch much, I'll be honest, but I have some things I'm gonna talk the Walking Dead. I watched the first three episodes. We talked about that. I'll give it a B plus at this point. I'm not going to pick it up. Like it's a bad time for me to just pick up the Walking Dead this week. It's probably not gonna happen. But I do see myself watching in the future the Walking Dead.
C
Like the whole entirety of.
Fran Mariano
I see myself picking up the series. I want to know what happened. I actually refuse to look up what.
Ria Ciuffo
Happens because I enjoy.
Fran Mariano
I know it's gonna be a time.
Ria Ciuffo
I see myself really getting into this. I can't right now.
Fran Mariano
I, you know, I'm a little busy this week. That's fair.
Ria Ciuffo
That's fair.
Fran Mariano
You know, I see myself in the future picking it up. The studio, my least favorite episode, but I still liked it. So I'll give it a B plus. I just like the show in general a lot, so I'll take it. Yeah, Summer House. I'll give this one a B minus.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, that's fair. I feel like there is more going on.
Fran Mariano
There was more going on this episode.
Ria Ciuffo
Some more laughs.
Fran Mariano
Yes, there are some Good laughs. This season.
Ria Ciuffo
There are.
Fran Mariano
I will say, there's some comedic relief.
Ria Ciuffo
Watch people try and open that door. You think by now that. That the owners of that house fix that fucking door.
Fran Mariano
Paige carrying the suitcase down the stairs with Wes sitting right there, and he was like, you might as well have dropped it on my head. I laughed loud. I did. I did. I. I think that might have been it. Oh, we watched the Entourage movie because we finished the last season.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
And so we're like, so obviously you have to watch the movie. Well, now it's time for the movie, of course. Which. The movie is fucking solid.
Ria Ciuffo
It is.
Fran Mariano
It's a good movie.
Ria Ciuffo
I completely agree.
Fran Mariano
Bad time. Bad timing, though, Haley. Joe Osmond just right. I mean, we were. We were watching the movie. We're like, whoa, bad timing.
Ria Ciuffo
Bad video.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, bad video. But I will give the Entourage movie. Hmm. I've never graded the entire movie before.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
So I'm stuck right now. I'll go to B plus.
Ria Ciuffo
I was gonna say. I feel like if I would go, like, it's a solid B. I'll give.
Fran Mariano
The Entourage movie a B plus.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. It really was made to appease the fan, you know? Like, it's. It knows exactly what it is.
Fran Mariano
It is. And I take it as that. And I'm happy to take it as that.
Ria Ciuffo
I agree.
Fran Mariano
And the ending is just.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Perfect ending of the Entourage movie is. Remember the ending when Johnny Drama gets up there, he wins the victory and just. And, you know, the music. Perfect.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep.
Fran Mariano
Mark Wahlberg's the one giving it to him. It's all very, you know.
Ria Ciuffo
No, it was very fan.
Fran Mariano
Like, fan oriented, and I appreciate that.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yeah. It gave the people what they wanted.
Fran Mariano
It did. It did. For sure. And I. I gotta be honest. I think I watched some other things, but I'm kind of drawing a blank right now, so I'll leave it at that.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, I. I watch. It's. It's tough because when we record, I. I, like, miss the Sunday night one. So it feels like I'm a full week behind, which I am. But it's really not like being a full week behind because I'll watch the Last of Us and Gemstones tonight. But everybody's. No, no.
Fran Mariano
I saw a major spoiler.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yeah.
C
I'm happy that I watched it right when I came out last night because.
Ria Ciuffo
Because it's everywhere. It's imp. Everywhere. It's impossible not to see. It's. It is a spoiler. And it's, like, not a spoiler in my mind because I Remember at the end of last season, I saw so much discourse online about, like, what they were gonna do.
C
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
Because of what happens in the video game. That it was like, okay, well, something's. You know.
Fran Mariano
Right.
Ria Ciuffo
You kind of knew.
C
I don't know.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, you had no clue.
C
No. Do you know?
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, no, I'm not gonna say it now either. But I just. I. I remember.
C
Even when it was.
Ria Ciuffo
I remember hearing about what happened in the video game and being like, okay, so that's.
C
I guess people thought that they were maybe gonna just.
Ria Ciuffo
They. People thought they were gonna change it. Yeah. And I guess they have not.
C
So I didn't expect something like that to happen this early.
Ria Ciuffo
Right, right. Right. So I will give episode. I mean, I can only grade episode one. I didn't watch episode two, but I liked episode one a lot. I'll get a. A minus. I think it's a great show. And gemstones was Gemstones. I'll give an A minus as well. That was. I forget what number was 7 or 8, but I don't know if I watched 8, actually might have been 7. It's the one where they flashback. It's a flashback episode to their younger selves, and they cast, like, young versions of all them, and it was very good and very funny. The last Beverly Hills reunion I saw, part three. So I think this is much more of an explanation to why Garcelle said, I'm out of here. They finished the reunion, and Andy was like, all right, you know, we're finally gonna get a cast photo at the end, because it seemed like everything was like, you know, not everybody's besties, but, like, it wasn't a big problem. And Garcelle was like, I'm out. I'm done. And she just walked right off, left. She was really. She was really mad. And I don't blame her at all, because I think she. And I think a lot of it may have been aimed at Sutton, but she didn't want to bring it up in the moment. But she, like, she packed her stuff, she left. Sutton went and knocked on the door, and they're like, oh, she's gone already. So I was like, oh, we were supposed to get dinner. They're like, asking Sutton, like, what could she. What. What do you think did it? Like, she. You know, she said to Andy towards the end, she's like, I'm done answering questions. Like, I'm just angry all around at the way everybody. You know, the questions she was asked, and she felt like she was giving really honest, real answers. And Other people maybe weren't acting the same way. And I really felt it when I think. Because here's the thing. Cause I think Sutton really does try and appease the other girls. I think Sutton and Garcelle have been so close, and she loves Garcelle. But it's like the high school dynamic of when you have your best friends, but when the. The cool girl club says, oh, Sutton, come sit with. Come sit at our lunch table today. And she's like, okay, bye. And, like, runs over. Like, I think that's kind of maybe what the dynamic was with, like, with Kyle and Erica and just really trying to, like, I feel like she cares a lot about them liking her. And Garcelle's like, hello, I'm supposed to be your best friend here. Towards the end, Andy asked them what their biggest, you know, takeaway from the season was. Something that. Something positive that they can take away from the season. And Garcelle's answer was like, I really loved, you know, seeing. Seeing Sutton with her mom and working on that relationship. And then I went to Sutton, and Sutton said, getting closer to Erica this season and, like, having, you know, working on their friendship. And you could kind of just see on girls, Garcelle's face, she's like, what the fuck? Yeah, like, come on, give me. So she seemed very fed up. And allegedly she's recently unfollowed Sutton on Instagram. So I don't know if that's, like, done done. But really, she. It's. And I completely, like, has every reason to be really pissed off at Sutton. I thought from when I watched that. So that was the end of Beverly Hills. That was the last part of the reunion. That was part three. I'll give it a B. It was good. Obviously, kind of seeing how it all. How it all comes to an end. The Valley is back. I watched episode one of the Valley. These people just love the drama. And it's funny because they just seem to get, like, pettier and pettier almost.
Fran Mariano
Isn't it funny how we thought that this show was gonna be, like, boring?
Ria Ciuffo
No.
Fran Mariano
And it's actually insane.
Ria Ciuffo
I should have known from Kristen.
Fran Mariano
I put it on, but I ended up not paying attention, so I can't give it a proper grade. I have to do a rewatch. Cause I did put it on, but then I got distracted.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Kristen and Janet are just never gonna, like, they're just not connecting again. There's been some poor wishes. The drama, like, Zach is a lot of drama too. And it's really. It's interesting because then, you know, in the after show, they're obviously not part of the cast, but the after show had Sheena, Brock, Schwartz, Lala, all part of the Valley after show, all, like, opinions about what's happening in the show. Jax and, you know, he said recently, trying to take care of himself, changed man, all these things. So this is before all those things that happened. But he really is, like, the best definition of tiger. Doesn't change his stripes. Like, he. He gets mad about Britney hooking up with somebody who is allegedly supposed to be a friend of Jack's. And that was a big debate during the after show. Were Jax and Julian really that close? Were they not? Well, Brittany was. Was hooking up with him. Lala, I guess, had hooked up with him in the past, too. It's like, this guy Julian really weaseled his way into the. Into the friend group, it appeared, and they hooked up. Jax found a sexy vid that Britney sent to him, sent to Julian and, like, lost his shit. And I think was violent and scary, and it was not good. And everyone around him was like, I understand you're upset, but, like, you can't react that way. You really have to get your emotions in check. And Jax is just the king of, like. Yeah, yeah, no, I know, I know, I know. But he's like, no, I know that was wrong, but show me a man that wouldn't have reacted like that. You know, it's just like somebody who.
Fran Mariano
Has their emotions in check and is in an animal.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. So I'm excited to see how the rest of the season goes. It feels. I mean, there are some Michelle, and I'm forgetting what his name is. Michelle's ex. They're. They're gonna be at each other's throats. They're like, this is. The drama that we're getting is like. They're threatening to, like, he's starting to move and, like, take full custody of the. Of the daughter and, like, put her in school in Newport with his new girlfriend. Like, that's. You're like, what?
Fran Mariano
Right?
Ria Ciuffo
You're like, jesse.
Fran Mariano
Jesse, should we even be seeing this?
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. And then the producers are like, did you just say that just to piss Michelle off? He's like, yeah, kind of like. It's like, oh, boy, this is gonna be drama. I'll give it a B plus. I think the Valley is. Is drama good. The studio. I agree with you guys on the. On this episode. I still enjoyed it. I'll give it a B plus as well. Sal. Sal kind of annoyed me in this episode. And I like Sal and I didn't like that Sal was annoying me, you know, like I took it as a personal offense.
Fran Mariano
I did too. I think that's why I was like, okay, you're being so annoying.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. I was like, sal, like, cut it out. Yeah, stop being such a jerk.
Fran Mariano
But he's a good annoying.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I thought it was.
C
I think that is pretty true to a lot of people who work in Hollywood, for sure.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, of course. Of course.

Ria Ciuffo
Watch two movies this week. Molly's Game, which I had not seen.
Fran Mariano
We talked about this because Molly's Game is fantastic.
Ria Ciuffo
I had not seen it. Joe and I watched it this week. Great movie.
Fran Mariano
Great movie.
Ria Ciuffo
Really. You know, it's solid. I'll give it a, I'll give it a solid B. You know, it's, it's good for sure and Ocean's Twelve. Because remember I said I watched, I watched Ocean's Eleven on the plane home from Turks and Caicos. And I was like, well, now I gotta, I gotta go do the rest. Ocean's 12, Ocean's 12 I liked a lot, you know, certainly some.
C
I would say that's the least talked about.
Ria Ciuffo
Certainly some holes in it, I thought, but that's the whole point. Like you're, you're kind of, by the end, you're like, how did they pull that off? And does it make any sense that they were able to pull it Off. And it obviously you have to. It's. You know, Julia Roberts is literally playing Julia Roberts, so. But I enjoyed it. It's a, you know, fun watch. Of course, nothing crazy. I think probably everyone says the same thing about those movies. Fun watch. I'd give that one a. A B plus and higher than Molly's Game. Yeah, I enjoyed it more, I'm not gonna lie. Just felt like more. More of a thrill, I think Molly's Game maybe just because I know so much of the story already. And Joe, like just read the book and was talking about the book and all these things, and I feel like I know her story more of like what happened. It wasn't like anything shocking to me.
C
Every time I watch that movie, I'm like, I completely forget that Michael Sayer is in it.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. Player X. Yep.
Ria Ciuffo
Yep. And he's really supposed to be like Toby Maguire.
Fran Mariano
Mm.
Ria Ciuffo
Crazy Toby McGuire.
Fran Mariano
Not a fantastic guy, actually.
Ria Ciuffo
Right.
Fran Mariano
I might say.
Ria Ciuffo
I know. Well, you know, that whole. That whole gang didn't. Yeah, but didn't. It Wasn't there like a nickname for their group?
C
There was. What was it?
Ria Ciuffo
It was not good. It was like patrol or something.
Fran Mariano
I know what you're talking about. Pussy Posse.
Ria Ciuffo
Pussy Posse.
Fran Mariano
Yes.
Ria Ciuffo
I said Patrol.
Fran Mariano
Pussy Patrol. Oh, my God. Isn't that a show?
Ria Ciuffo
I don't know.
Fran Mariano
No, not Pussy Patrol.
C
The.
Fran Mariano
The Paw Patrol.
Ria Ciuffo
Paw Patrol is certainly a show.
Fran Mariano
Not Pussy Patrol.
Ria Ciuffo
Very different.
Fran Mariano
Pussy Patrol is a very different show.
Ria Ciuffo
Than Pop for sure.
Fran Mariano
The Pussy Posse.
Ria Ciuffo
Pussy Patrol is definitely not a Nick junior.
Fran Mariano
No, no, no, no. Probably could be just a different spin.
Ria Ciuffo
And I'm midway through season three of Hacks. Love it. I'm really loving other.
Fran Mariano
You go.
Ria Ciuffo
I'm loving. I'm loving season three. I'm really pushing for her to get that late night spot. Let me tell you. I'm trying. I know everyone's on to season four now because it just came out, but I have three episodes left in season three, so I've watched one through six in season three. Love it. It's a. A minus. Like just.
Fran Mariano
I'm so glad that you love it.
Ria Ciuffo
It is. And you know, Gia started watching it too. She loves it. I was shocked.
C
Gia.
Ria Ciuffo
How to watch. It's like such a Gia esque show. I feel like she would love it. So watching that. And that's everything. Watch. Oh, I. Sunday night. I did watch. The tournament championship finale was last night. That's what I was doing instead of watching the other show. I just. I did not have the last of us in me. Like, Easter night after, like, we. Everyone was in the house and a lot. I was just like, I need to just turn on something as a perfect TOC finale.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
All I'll say is I'm very happy with.
Fran Mariano
Oh, good.
Ria Ciuffo
Who took home the. Took home the belt.
Fran Mariano
We'll discuss later.
Ria Ciuffo
Yes.
Fran Mariano
I just want to add. I watched. I'm updated on season four of Hacks. I'll give it a B plus. The last one was my favorite in this season so far. Episode three I've thoroughly enjoyed. So I'm excited to see where this season keeps going. Noah.
C
Celtics, of course.
Ria Ciuffo
My God, how long is this documentary ever gonna end?
C
Well, no, because Celtics will go on forever.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, that's true.
C
But no, this episode was really good. And it was about, like, the years that they sucked and when they had Rick Pitino and how he was, like, terrible, but solid show. A duh. The studio episode five. Yeah. I'll give it a B plus. Like, I think I. Originally, I was like, that's a B. But, like, I still. It's still better than most. It's just the first few were so good. Your friends and neighbors. I watched the first three episodes of that. I actually am very much enjoying it. And I'm not like, a big John Hamm guy. Something about him. I don't know.
Fran Mariano
Interesting feeling.
Ria Ciuffo
Even though it just, like, is a bone to pick with, like, really handsome actors.
C
Not true.
Fran Mariano
I love him.
Ria Ciuffo
I don't know. Austin Butler, Something about him maybe.
C
Traditionally handsome.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
C
Because it's like.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, I think it's coming from a.
Fran Mariano
Jon Hamm is a great actor.
Ria Ciuffo
Coming from a place of Jeff.
C
No, no, it's not. It's not.
Ria Ciuffo
It's like he's, like, sitting there, like, how these guys get to be so handsome. Huh?
Fran Mariano
And also great actors and charming people.
C
It's not their looks. It's. It's.
Ria Ciuffo
They're just so traditionally handsome.
C
Yeah. I don't know why. Maybe, like, it's the way he talks. I don't know.
Fran Mariano
But, like, there's BMW commercials.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
C
I never even watched Madman, so I don't know even what I'm like.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, I don't really. I don't know either. I feel like Jon Ham's pretty universally liked.
C
Yeah. But I think it's really good. I actually, like, are you caught up?
Fran Mariano
I did. I didn't want to be the one to say again that I just watched episode three. Like, I'm like, I'm now remembering the things that I watched. Yes, I'm caught up.
C
Yeah. I Like it a lot.
Fran Mariano
I like it too.
C
I think Olivia Munn's good.
Fran Mariano
Yeah, Olivia Munn is good.
C
Yeah. So I'll give that a B plus. And it kind of has, like a white lotus Y. Like, just rich people vibe.
Fran Mariano
Like, I'll add in my B plus for my third episode. I, I, you know, I just don't. I keep going. Oh, yeah, I did watch that.
C
You know what else you forgot, guys? Paul American.
Fran Mariano
Oh, shit.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, my God. And you're right. And I did watch it.
Fran Mariano
I watched Paul American.
Ria Ciuffo
I did watch episode before dropped.
Fran Mariano
This wasn't my. I didn't. I wasn't obsessed with this episode. Although now that I'm remembering, actually I was interested in them touring the Italy wedding venues. And my God, I find Logan Paul to be so annoying. Gosh, he.
Ria Ciuffo
I couldn't.
Fran Mariano
This show makes Jake Paul seem so much more likable than Logan Paul.
Ria Ciuffo
I loved it too. It was actually really cool to see the. I forgot to bring that up also because they're touring all these Lake Como wedding venues and I'm. You've seen a ton. Like, Villa Babbiano is like, so PI. Like, you see a ton of weddings there. Villa d'Este and Logan's like, Villa Dust. I want that one. It's like the night. It's like, literally the nicest when he.
C
Was going to that other one and like, immediately just.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, immediately was like, yeah. So rude. It was so rude. So rude. But no, it is. It is really cool to see everything that they filmed there, too. When they sat down at dinner and they did, like, a full aerial view of where they were in the restaurant, which is La Punta, which is our friend's restaurant. And that's, like, right where Joe proposed is right outside that. Right outside that restaurant. That's where we had our meal right after he proposed. And like, the drone shot, like, of the end, I was like, wow, look at that. Look at that.
C
And then Logan Paul's just throwing up on the street.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Yeah. Logan drinking alone.
Fran Mariano
I like. I will say.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Also, how do you get that drunk.
C
When she's not drinking?
Fran Mariano
The babes are nauseating. Babe, babe, babe, babe. I'm like, oh, my God. Yeah, they are a nauseating.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, this was like. This is like a C episode for me.
Fran Mariano
Yeah. I like Nina. Like. I like.
Ria Ciuffo
I like Gina too. I do.
Fran Mariano
But I just find Logan to be so annoying.
Ria Ciuffo
Same.
C
Yeah, I'll probably give it a C2.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
Fran Mariano
Okay. See all around for Paul.
Ria Ciuffo
See for Paul America.
C
It's just like a hate watch at this point, like, it's something.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah. Well, now we're locked in. I mean, we're four episodes. We're gonna have to watch the whole thing now. I'm like, God, we've got the whole lead up to the Tyson fight gets God postponed.
Fran Mariano
Right.
C
That's the thing. It's like, we know what happens.
Fran Mariano
But it's interesting also, Jake Paul being like, I need to lose five pounds by tomorrow. I was like, this is me. Yeah, this is me currently.
Ria Ciuffo
That's crazy. I will like the one. I will say it too, about Jake Paul. I mean, he does seem very dedicated and passionate and committed to meditation.
Fran Mariano
His craft dedicated.
Ria Ciuffo
You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not like. At first, I think everybody was like, oh, why? He's doing this for as jokes and like, to make money and blah, blah, blah. And I was like, no, he. I think he really actually loves it and respects it, you know?
Fran Mariano
I agree. Yeah, I think he's very dedicated. Anyway, anyway, wow. Enough about Jake Paul.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
C
There's a new Jacob Elordi show. It's on prime, and it's called the Narrow Road to the Deep North.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh.
C
It has a hundred percent of Rotten Tomatoes. So that's kind of what I was like, whoa, what is this?
Fran Mariano
I just remembered another thing I watched.
C
Sorry.
Fran Mariano
No, keep going. It's not my time.
C
It's basically, it's in World War II and he's a surgeon and he gets. He becomes a prisoner. So it's like, it's bouncing back and forth between the present day where he's old, and then when he's young. But it's also centered around, like, he has an affair with his uncle's wife. And then it's cutting between that and then he's like a prisoner in war. And that's like, very intense when they're prisoners, like in Japan. But it's good. It's like extremely intense.
Ria Ciuffo
I feel like I haven't seen one thing about it.
Fran Mariano
No, no.
C
I saw like a TikTok pop up about it. I was like, what is this? It's solid. Like, I. I wouldn't say a hundred. I. I think I. I'd probably give it like a B so far just because.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
C
I think maybe if you're really into, like, it's very romance y. Like a lot of, like, kind of old school, like. But it's good. I would.
Ria Ciuffo
Okay.
C
It's solid. Yeah. I think any Jacob Elordi fans would enjoy it.
Ria Ciuffo
I was gonna say. Sounds like something I should watch.
C
No, Yeah, a lot of it is, like, very, like, gory and intense when they're prisoners and a lot of them are dying. But that was good. I went to the movie theater yesterday.
Ria Ciuffo
Did you see Sinners? I was just gonna ask.
Fran Mariano
I'm going tomorrow.
C
It's really fucking good.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, God, I'm so excited. I'm gonna go tomorrow.
C
You know. You know, a movie is good when. Because it's pretty long. It's like 2 hours and 20 minutes. When the people who leave the bathroom. Because I did at one point, I was like. I really was trying to not to, but I'm like, I want to enjoy the second half. So I was just trying to pick a time. Now. Go now. When people are running out, like, when they're sprinting to the bathroom because they don't miss anything. Like, everyone I saw was, like, sprinting to the bathroom.
Ria Ciuffo
Oh, I'm really. It's been. I got, like, really targeted on my. On TikTok. It's all I was getting was, like, people talking about it or interviews with the actors or praise for it. I was like, damn, I gotta go see this. I think I'm gonna go with my brother and sister tomorrow.
C
I also love. Like, I didn't really fully know what it was about. Like, I knew there was some type of, like, vampire.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
C
Angle to it, but I also didn't know that Michael B. Jordan was playing two guys.
Ria Ciuffo
Twins, Right.
C
Like, yeah. Playing twins.
Ria Ciuffo
I did know that. That's literally the only thing.
C
I was, like, the first shot that was on him, and it, like, pans and, like, there's two of him. I was like, what is happening? But Ryan Coogler is, like, a genius.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
C
And it's, like, centered around blues music, which I'm a big fan of, so that doesn't hurt. But very good. Like, everyone gave insane performances, and some of the, like, the directing that Ryan Cougar did was crazy.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
C
Stuff I've never seen before. But, yeah.
Ria Ciuffo
I saw a lot of TikToks of them talking about, like, the dimensions of the shots and, like.
C
Well, that was mad because.
Ria Ciuffo
And then I was like, I have no idea what this means, but it sounds really cool.
C
No.
Fran Mariano
Yeah.
C
Because he shot it on IMAX 70 millimeter.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
C
And I wanted to see it at the Lincoln Center.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah. Forever.
C
So. Yeah. But it was a solid a. Like.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah.
C
A movie. Yeah. It was incredible. I'll probably go see it again.
Fran Mariano
Honestly, I'm gonna be so behind by the time I see this movie.
C
And the last thing was the last of us. Episode two won't spoil it, but I didn't see it coming. I will say this episode was very good, but it's hard to not say that. Like, it reminded me so much of Game of Thrones to the point where I'm like, this is the exact same.
Fran Mariano
Thing, same formula, but it is taken after a video game.
C
It is taken after a video game. Remember the episode what kind of felt like Battle of the Bastards? A lot of it. And then there's an episode where they, like, all break through the. The gates. Like, the. What were they called? The. The weird, like, creatures.
Fran Mariano
The wildings or the walkers.
Ria Ciuffo
The walkers.
C
When the walkers, like, broke through the.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like.
C
If I was like, this is the exact same thing.
Fran Mariano
Well, they were the White Walkers. I said walkers because that's. That's in the Walking Dead. They call them the Walkers, but in Game of Thrones, it's the White Walkers.
C
I'll give it an A minus because it was really good. And if I hadn't seen Game of Thrones, I'd think it would be an A. But, like, it just felt so similar. And then the big, like, shocking thing happened.
Ria Ciuffo
Yeah, right, right, right.
C
But, yeah, that's all I got.
Ria Ciuffo
Okay.
Fran Mariano
Solid. I. I just want to add, I watched Dying for Sex. I watched up to episode five. It went down for me after episode one. I give it an A minus last week. I'll now give it a B minus. I still like it and I'm still interested. I still think it's funny, and there's, like, a lot of emotional elements to it, but it is obviously the name Scott Dying for Sex. And I guess I wasn't. There is a lot of sex in it.
Ria Ciuffo
Fair.
Fran Mariano
You know what I mean? But I still enjoy it, so I'll give it a B minus.
Ria Ciuffo
I know I'm exc. I got a Sinners I definitely want to see. And then the new Netflix. Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, like, Runyon Canyon or whatever the hell it's called. That's high on my list. That. Of course, that'll be getting a watch this week. For sure. For sure.
Fran Mariano
All right. That's everything we watch this week.
Ria Ciuffo
All right, that wraps up today's episode. Ria is off camera.
Fran Mariano
They shut my camera off.
Ria Ciuffo
Noah full blown, turned her camera off.
Fran Mariano
They're trying to shut.
Ria Ciuffo

Fran Mariano

Podcast Summary: "Chicks in the Office" Episode - Tyla Claps Back at Fans Saying She Copied Britney Spears + Our Live Tasting of Meghan Markle’s Jam
Release Date: April 21, 2025
Ria and Fran kick off the episode by sharing their excitement about their impending weddings. Fran delves into her wedding preparations, especially focusing on crafting her vows. At [03:45], Fran shares:
“I have to write this down. Like, I have to write it down.”
The conversation moves to the logistics of wedding planning, emphasizing the importance of hands-on involvement and balancing family input. Fran recounts a nerve-wracking experience with her wedding dress:
“She was cutting... My wedding's next Friday. I need to pick this up on Monday.”
Despite the stress, both hosts express their enthusiasm and readiness to enjoy their special days.
A significant portion of the episode centers around Tyla's recent encounter with fans who commented on her outfit's resemblance to Britney Spears' iconic look. Fran narrates Tyla's response to derogatory remarks:
“Personally, I think you should shut the up.”
– Fran Mariano at [44:32]
Ria and Fran discuss the plausibility of Tyla's stylist intentionally emulating Britney Spears and critique Tyla's blunt rebuttal. They ponder whether the similarity was coincidental or a deliberate homage gone unnoticed, ultimately siding with Fran's skepticism about the lack of inspiration acknowledgment.
In a delightful segment, Ria and Fran introduce and taste Meghan Markle's "As Ever" raspberry spread. The hosts provide an engaging live review:
At [22:23], Fran exclaims:

The hosts briefly touch upon the second weekend of Coachella, noting a quieter social media presence but acknowledging the continued buzz among attendees. They mention prominent performances and celebrity sightings, including Lady Gaga's memorable stage moments despite minor technical hiccups:
“She's like, I have to respect that they're doing...”
Ria and Fran announce the marriage of Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer, expressing their congratulations. However, they question how the intimate ceremony was publicized so swiftly:
“How do they know that's going on?”
They speculate about potential leaks and the challenges of maintaining privacy in celebrity weddings, highlighting the surreal nature of such events becoming news.
A juicy topic emerges as Ria recounts the on-stage kiss between Emma and Alan on "Dancing with the Stars," confirming ongoing rumors of their romance:
“They confirmed with a hot and steamy kiss to wrap up their dance.”
– Ria Ciuffo at [47:50]
The discussion delves into their relationship dynamics, past connections, and the public's reaction, solidifying their status as a beloved couple within the show's narrative.
The episode also covers various other pop culture tidbits:
