[Bridget]

Great weekend. It was beautiful. Beautiful beach days and that was it. You know, enjoying the beach, family time. I was reading my book a lot, which was great. I finished Air of Fire, which I loved. I'm in the midst of Throne of Glass right now and it's just one of those series that people you read and people are like, ugh, I'm so jealous you're reading that for the first time again. Like that's all that. All that I've been hearing. I really enjoyed the second half of it and I'm excited to keep reading it, but it was great. Other than that, we were really just hanging. How was all your birthday festivities?

[Ria]

Great birthday weekend. You know, people have been asking for an update about the family coming to Jersey on Friday. They're an insane bunch. They are an insane group of people. They are. That's really just the way you can describe them is they're insane. They're entertaining. Love them to death, but they're insane. They showed up at 3pm because they hit. They hit some traffic on the way in that I had to hear that. They were shocked by. They were shocked. They couldn't believe it. They thought Friday at this time they weren't going to hit any traffic so had to hear about that. And then they left. By 7:45 they were out the door because they had to get home before it was too dark out, whatever that means. So. So really they were only here for a couple hours. The thing the Thing is, like, everything's a rush. You know what I mean? Like, everything. Like. Like, all right, dinner time. All right, everyone eats. All right, cake. Like, there's no, like, let's sit down and, like, have. You know what I mean? Like, there's no sitting down, having a dinner, then moving on to, like, it's like, all right, now separate. All right. Like, that's. This is the way they do it. This is the way they. They roll. You know what I mean? And sometimes I go, where the hell did I come from? And then other times, I'm like, oh, you know, like, you know, when you. You pick up some traits from your family, and of course you're like, oh, yeah, I am my parents. Daughter. Like, you just have those moments. And then there's other times where you're like, I have no fucking clue where I came from. Then. Then you have those as well. So. But, you know, good times, lots of laughs. My. My nephews were here. They're so freaking cute. They were so excited to, like. Luca thought he was looking out at a fish tank because my apartment is above the water and it's all windows. So he kept saying that he wants to look out the fish tank, which was very cute.

[Bridget]

It's like, yeah, that is how it feels.

[Ria]

He literally was like, I want to look out the tank, which was so adorable. My mom proceeded to get a notification that she was on the DraftKings casino for three and a half hours while at my apartment. They were very excited to go on to the online casino because this sounds like it's about to be a DraftKings ad. It's not. They just genuinely were excited to be in Jersey to go on to the online casino. And so I will say they spent majority of their time doing that. So, you know.

[Bridget]

And. And your mom ended up bringing her own coffee pot?

[Ria]

Yes, my mom brought her own coffee pot. She brought her own milk, too. I said, mom, I have milk. You know? She goes, oh, you never know. I'm like, okay. She also brought her ashtray. I have an ashtray. She decided she was gonna bring her own.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Thank God she brought another one because the one I had would not be able to hold the amount of cigarettes that her and my aunt had together on the balcony as they played the casino. So, yeah, but they. We went for a walk. My dad walked so fast out of the building that my front desk lady thought he was kidnapping my brother's baby because he is a speed walker. So the way in which he walked out of the building with Mikey in The stroller looked like he was kidnapping a baby. And my front desk lady was like, what is going. I was like, yes, that's my dad. It looks like he's kidnapping my brother's son right now. I understand. Yep.

[Bridget]

We're all related, I swear. Yes.

[Ria]

And it's so funny because I had posted about it on my story, and people were like, I feel like I need a documentary on these people. And I'm like, you know what? You're not wrong.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You're not. Like, they. They're just.

[Bridget]

It would be a hell of a reality show.

[Ria]

They're just quite something to spectate on.

[Bridget]

What was the reasoning behind the coffee? Your mom just really only wants to drink her coffee.

[Ria]

Yes. Because she brought just a simple coffee pot. And that's it. Like, it literally was just a regular coffee pot.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

She just likes having her. I don't know. I really don't know. I said, we can make you coffee.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

She is a coffee addict, so she. It's like she needs her own coffee. Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't understand that. But I. You know, we could get. We could give you coffee.

[Bridget]

Yes. Matt's got his whole fancy setup.

[Ria]

Yeah. She wants her own coffee. What else happened? Honestly, not, like, really not much besides just. It's just funny. Like, they're just. They're insane.

[Bridget]

They were here and then they were gone.

[Ria]

They were here and then they were gone. And it all happened so fast. It all happened so fast. My sister and I played Rummy Cube. Nobody else wanted to play because they were too distracted by the online casino. So my sister and I played Rummy Cube. And then my dad walked over and was like, this will end in a fight. And I was like, you know what? We're having a good time. Like, we're, you know, like, like. No, it actually didn't end in a fight. Having a good time.

[Bridget]

And sometimes that can be a good bonding moment for the sisters, though, to be like, right then you're like, dad, classic.

[Ria]

But, you know, besides all that, they brought so many fun treats. My mom made all these chocolate covered marshmallows, strawberries, cherries, on this, like, beautiful bow plate that I'm so excited to have now. It's like a cake plate, and it's like a bow. It is so freaking cute. My sister picked out all these, like, nostalgic throwback T shirts for me that I'm so excited about. Cheetah Girls. That's so raven. Like, she really hit the nostalgia point, which was so cute. And so many other cute little Tchotchkes, which I love. Like, that's my. Yeah, that's my love language right there. I love like cute tchotchkes. So that was adorable. And my mom and my sister did such a cute job with surprising me with all that. I was, I was so excited. It was so cute. And Matt surprised me with on Friday. He drove to Lavalette and picked up my favorite crumb cake from Colonial Bakery, which I was so excited about. Um, and it's not an easy. It's a, it's a little, it's a little bit of a drive.

[Bridget]

It's a bit of a drive.

[Ria]

So he went out of his way to get that, which I was so freaking excited about. And then my family was excited about it because they were like, this cake rocks. I'm like, yeah, it does. It's my favorite cake. It's so freaking good. So that was so cute. And I was so excited about that.

[Bridget]

And then I haven't had that in so long. It's so good. I used to get it when, when I'd be down there with, with one of my friends. And it's probably not since like middle school, but it's so good.

[Ria]

It's so good. It has like this Bavarian cream. It's just amazing. It's my favorite cake ever. So that was my birthday cake. And then we sang Happy Birthday with my cutie little nephews on my lap. And they were so freaking adorable. They're just such cutie munchkins. I just can't get enough of them. Like, oh God, they're so cute. So yeah, then they were gone by 7:45 because they had to get home before it was too dark.

[Noah]

And

[Ria]

they left and I looked at Matt and I said, you want to have a drink? You want me to cook up some old fashions right now? So I've been loving this like honey, bourbon, lemon kind of old fashioned drink that I have been making. And it's so freaking good. So we had those and we watched Stick it, which I will get into for weekly Watch Report that all weekend in different times. We just watched like all of my favorite movies that I haven't seen in a while. So I'll talk about that weekly Watch Report and then on Saturday, Saturday was the plan to like have like a birthday dinner out. So we went to the 1:30 club in Jersey in Tenafly, which is unbelievable. And now if people know, for Charles in the City, it's the, the head chef that worked at. For Charles and like put that menu together, then opened up this place, the 130 Club. So that's why, like, people were responding to my story, being like, burger looks familiar. Yeah, because it is this. It's the head chef that then opened this restaurant. It is so fricking good. And so, funny enough, there was a surprise, but I. This is, like, I think maybe the first time ever I've been genuinely surprised by something because I'm always, like, on to everything, you know?

[Bridget]

Like.

[Ria]

And I don't usually love surprises. Like, I like to know what's going on. But this was a good surprise. Like, one that everyone knew I'd be, like, happy about. So all day, relaxing day, we went to go work out, had a nice lunch, whatever. I didn't suspect a fricking thing. Didn't suspect a thing. I'm starting to get ready, and Matt tells me that he has a gift for me that he wants to give me before we go to dinner. So I'm like, okay, what's this going to be? Whatever. And so I get dressed and, like, it's kind of creeping towards leaving. And I'm like, all right, where's the. Yeah, where's the gift?

[Bridget]

Where's the gift?

[Ria]

Where's the little gift that you said you're going to give me for dinner? And, like, literally, like that. I'm like, where is it? And he's like, do you trust me? I'm like, yeah, but what's going on? He's like, we're gonna go. We're just gonna get in the car. We're gonna go, and you'll see. I'm like, you told me you were giving this to me before, right? And he's like. And then, of course, classic. Classic Matt, he's like, just don't. Just don't put on any earrings. Don't put anything in your ear. I'm like, you two are so fucking funny.

[Bridget]

I'm like, the. Like, well. Well, they're clearly. That's the surprise then, is it?

[Ria]

Yeah. So I'm like, okay, if I don't wear earrings with this outfit, it looks

[Bridget]

weird, but it's just like, so give me the earrings now.

[Ria]

Yeah, no, that's what I said. So then I'm like, okay, if you're telling me there's going to be something for my ear, like, is the waiter bringing out a plate of earrings for me? So then I start thinking in my head, I'm like, are we stopping at, like, a jewelry store before we go to the restaurant?

[Bridget]

Is this a sweet home Alabama? Like, I'm like, you rented out Tiffany Yeah.

[Ria]

I'm like, are we stopping at a place? Whatever. But then I'm like, okay, the times I. We don't have enough time to stop at a place. Like, there's not enough time in the schedule. We're kind of showing up right at the reservation time. So in my head, I'm like, the only person that I know that, like, really knows jewelry so fricking well and helped Matt, like, design my engagement ring and everything is my friend Jessie. I'm like, she is like, a jewelry snob. Like, she knows. She knows everything about jewelry.

[Bridget]

So I'm like, hmm,

[Ria]

let me check her location.

[Bridget]

So this is.

[Ria]

We're getting closer to the restaurant. This thought didn't dawn on me until we're a little bit closer. So I check her location. Her location's off. I'm like, oh, that's suspicious. That's weird. But still, I kind of was like, nah, no way. She told me a while ago they had plans for her husband's friend's birthday. Like, a while. Like, it didn't even genuinely. I believed her. I was like, oh, they got plans. And I kind of, like, I said last week was like, I'm not bothering any friends with plans this weekend because I have something coming later in the summer that I want to celebrate. And I didn't feel like bothering people celebrating something twice in, like, the span of a month. Like, I kind of was like, let me just be chill about my birthday and whatever. So I just didn't bother anybody with plans. But I remember talking to Jesse a while ago and she was like, whatever that weekend. So I just didn't even think about it. So I'm like, nah, there's no way. Whatever. So we pull up to the restaurant and we get seated. It's a four top. I'm like, okay. So I look at Matt. I'm like, okay, who's coming? Who's the. Who's joining us? He's like, I feel so bad right now. Like, there's nobody joining us. Like, I. Like, he didn't say, I promise you, but he was like, I. There's nobody joining us. And I'm like, oh, it's weird. They gave us a four top. Then at least there will be more room for the food. Yeah. And he was like, do you want me to ask to switch to that table? Because there was a table with just two. And I was like, well, no, I'm not going to make them switch now. Thank God I said that Because I

[Bridget]

was like, yeah, what would he have

[Ria]

done if he was what would he have done if I was like, yeah, let's switch. But I was like. And then. But then he just started acting so weird. Like, his face turned all red, like, really red. And he kept picking up his phone. And I was like, all right, you're acting really weird now.

[Bridget]

I don't have earrings in. And you're acting really. Yeah.

[Ria]

And I was like, where are the fucking earrings? Because now we're at this place. You told me to not put anything in my ear. I have a cute outfit on. I want to get a picture. And I got no earrings in. So what's going on? And he's like, am I acting weird? I'm like, yeah, you're acting weird. He's like, sorry, sorry. And we had drinks. Now, at this point, I'm like, sit back, relax.

[Bridget]

You're so tense.

[Ria]

What's going on? He's like, am I being tense? I'm like, yes, you're feeling. Face is so red. Thanks.

[Bridget]

Not handling this well.

[Noah]

No.

[Ria]

Thankfully, five minutes later, my friend Jesse and her husband walk in. I haven't seen her in a while, so it was an amazing surprise. I was so excited, but I was like, thank God, you guys. I was like, thank God, because if he was just acting this weird for no reason, I would have been like, what the fuck is going on? But he was like, oh, my God. Thank God you guys are here. She was on to me. It was like, I wasn't even on to you until. Until we got to the restaurant, I. Up until we got to the restaurant,

[Bridget]

you were just being weird as hell.

[Ria]

I'm like, up until we got to the restaurant, I didn't suspect a single thing. Like, yeah. He's like, I couldn't take it. I couldn't take it.

[Bridget]

Like, you just thought you were getting earrings. Like, you're just like, where the fuck are my earrings?

[Ria]

He's like, the lie was eating me alive. I'm like, oh, my God. Like, okay. But I was so excited because I haven't seen Jesse in what feels like forever now. So that was so fun. Such a great surprise.

[Bridget]

It is. You guys do crack me up, because you're two people that love doing surprises for each other, and you're both terrible at keeping secrets. You know? Like, it's just.

[Ria]

Well, here's the thing. Keeping surprises, I'm not bad at keeping a secret, but surprises I'm bad at. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, we do love surprising each other, but then we can't help but be like, I got a surprise for you. Like, it's Just this back and forth. So it was so cute, though. So Jesse had picked up. Matt was working with a jeweler on Long Island. These gorgeous oval diamond earrings, bezel, gold bezel around it. They're absolutely stunning. So she had picked them up on Long Island. What happened was they were supposed to come to our apartment first, but Jesse's husband got delayed at work. And so it just. The time kept changing. Which fair, though, props them for even making the trip because he had worked all day. He does a tiring job. Like, they really made the effort to come, which was awesome and so nice and so cool. And so she picked up the earrings from Long island, which is why they thought they were gonna be able to give it to me beforehand. Whatever. But on the earrings note, when we talked last week and you were like, should I be concerned that Matt didn't ask me for her birthday? It makes complete sense because I have been having an earring problem that Fran is very. Is well aware of. Everyone's well aware of it. And I told him when we went to London that I forgot all my earrings and that I had to borrow your earrings the entire trip because I didn't have any earrings with me. And then the week after that, we went home to Long Island. I had to borrow his mom's earrings because I forgot my earrings again.

[Bridget]

You've been forgetting your earrings often, which I feel like is just some subconscious thing of, like, I hate all my earrings.

[Ria]

No, that's what it is. I don't have any, like, nice earrings that I love. I don't have, like, a pair of good earrings. So I don't. I'm not very good at keeping track of my earrings because I have all, like, cheap earrings. That. Yeah, it sounds bad that I just don't really care about. No, you know what I mean? Like, I usually just order them off Amazon and I'm like, these are cute. And then, like, I forget about them. So he got me a beautiful, gorgeous pair of earrings that now will teach me to take care of my earrings.

[Bridget]

Yes.

[Ria]

And this is the first step. And I am in love with them. I'm actually not wearing them right now. I wish I was. They're. They're stunning.

[Bridget]

I'm obsessed with it.

[Ria]

And I wasn't.

[Bridget]

They're shining bright in the picture you posted.

[Ria]

They're so good. And I wasn't good at, like, keeping rings until I got my engagement rings, my wedding rings. And I'm. I'm like. So on top of that, that now the earrings, I will be also on Top of that as well. So, like, this is. This is a good first step into investing into good earrings. But, I mean, not a good. A fantastic first step. I'm obsessed with them.

[Bridget]

That's actually exactly what I was going to say. There is something about after you have the, like, engagement ring, wedding band that you are so cautious and careful with it, that when you do have a pair of really nice studs that you kind of. They. It all stays together. So it's like. Because having just a nice pair of, like, you're. It can be hard. You got to be very careful. But when you have some stuff that you can kind of like, all keep together, it is. It's helpful.

[Ria]

Exactly. Yeah. So I'm so excited. They're. They're gorgeous. Like, he did such a good job. They're just absolutely stunning. I'm obsessed. But he's so cute. Like, it's just so funny. Like, there was something new and exciting every day this weekend. I got a new cutting board that I'm so excited about. It's engraved. I got some new pans, some new cooking stuff that I'm very happy about. So, yeah, it was a great weekend. And then on Sunday. On Sunday, we just. I just wanted to wake up and do nothing and, like, see where the day took us. And that's exactly what we did. And we just grubbed so hard, had Chinese food, had pizza, like, just laid on the couch, relaxed, literally did jack shit besides sit around and eat. I said, I don't even want to go on a walk. I don't even want to really step outside for that long, you know, I know it's gorgeous out, but I don't care.

[Bridget]

I really just want to fucking lay

[Ria]

here and just eat and watch movies. And that's exactly what we did. And it was amazing. But literally, he is my angel that was sent down above. Like, that is genuinely how I feel about him, to just, like, spoil me, surprise me, make me feel loved. And I really felt that this weekend, and I felt that from everybody, really, you know, I really did. I did. I feel so nice. I feel wonderful. Because at times I do. Because at times I feel like everybody hates me. That's so great. And, you know, it's like a devil, an angel on my shoulder where sometimes I'm like, nobody appreciates me. Everybody hates me. Da da da da da. Nobody cares. But I didn't feel that way this time around. I feel loved and I feel wonderful. And I had just good, a magical weekend.

[Bridget]

I think this can be a mixed bag sometimes.

[Ria]

They can, they can. And I've had, I've had bad ones in the past and this one was just delightful. So I'm very happy about that going into, into this year. And that's really it. Amazing. Yeah. It was so. The, the restaurant though. Oh my God. How can I forget this? How can I forget?

[Bridget]

Oh, I was gonna say. I was actually waiting for you to bring it up. I was gonna bring it up. So who'd you sit next to?

[Ria]

So my friends walk in, we're so excited. I'm like, woo, woo. We're gonna have such a great night. So happy. Da da da. All of a sudden, 20 minutes later, who walks in? Dolores, Catania and Pauly. I mean, literally, you cannot script this any better. They sit down right next to us. Not even a couple tables over. They sit down right next to us. I'm like, hey. She's like, oh, my God, Ria. Like, like, we just, we shut the place down. I'm not. We jet. We shut the restaurant down. We got there at like 7:30. We didn't leave until after 11:30.

[Noah]

We.

[Ria]

I, I'm, I think the restaurant was waiting for all of us to leave because we, we looked around. Nobody else was in there besides us, Dolores and Paulie. Y. Oh, God. I mean, it just, it, it's like literally, like, I saw my distant aunt like that. It was like, oh, God, is.

[Bridget]

Is perfect.

[Ria]

It was perfect. I genuinely, I say this all the time. I think things happen to me so I can get on this podcast and talk about them. Because the fact that Dolores Catania sits down next to me, if I was

[Noah]

Marty, I would have liked, pretended that was all part of the plan.

[Ria]

Oh, so no. So then Dolores is cracking up. She's like, what are you doing here? I'm like, oh, it's my birthday. And then I told her the story about how he surprised me with my friends. Da, da da. And she goes, yeah, part of the surprise too. So we were joking around, you know, we were gossiping, having drinks. He. Paul. Paul is hilarious. I, you know, never met him before. Yeah, cracking us all up. Like, it was just so good. And that just got that Irish banter. Let me tell you, that was just the cherry on top of everything. Because my friend doesn't like really follow. It's so funny. Like, doesn't really follow pop culture that closely or like reality TV or whatever. And so when I explained after, she was like, oh my God, she was amazing. Like, I wouldn't have even guessed that that was like a real house, you know? If you don't watch Real Housewives and you, like, have, I guess. Yeah. And she was like, they were incredible. And then everybody who she told everyone was so jealous. They were like, that's amazing. And the night before, my aunt obviously loves Jersey Housewives. Literally, like obsessed number one fan. And I joked with her, I said, oh, I'm going to a restaurant tomorrow night. Maybe I'll run into the Gorgas. Like, just whatever. When I, I got chills. I cannot believe that Dolores walked in and sat right next to us. We, you, we basically had our tables together at one point. Yeah, right?

[Bridget]

It's like at a certain point you go, shoot. Do we push our tables together?

[Ria]

Yeah, we had, we had dessert. They had dessert. Shortly after, Dolores sits, comes around, sits right next to me with her dessert. She's like, you want have some? I'm like, I just had, you know, just so, it's just so like, like family. Like family. Family. It was.

[Bridget]

And she is, she is like family. I feel that way every time we see her.

[Ria]

It just was so freaking good. I, I, I can, I, I literally went to bed smiling ear to ear.

[Bridget]

Like, it's amazing.

[Ria]

I, I, Matt was like, are you smiling as you drift off to sleep?

[Bridget]

I said, you're going, yeah.

[Ria]

I can't believe we ridden Doris. Yeah. I'm like, ah, gag, gag, gag, gag.

[Noah]

Gaga.

[Ria]

Dolores of Polly. It was just too freaking good. It's amazing. Yeah, that was, it was a spectacular weekend. And now we lead into the week and we got Dancing with the Stars con coming up. How we feeling about it?

[Bridget]

Good. Our a thousandth episode is on Wednesday. I actually do want to also ask Noah because we need a follow up. Did you meet the love of your life in Boston or.

[Noah]

Only time will tell, I guess, you know.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

There are so many lovely people at that event. But it was fun. It was a good time. Always good to be in Boston.

[Bridget]

How was your cell?

[Noah]

The cell was very fun. He did a rap for everyone that was pretty good. And yeah, we really played into the, like, the Boston, like, crowd, you know, like, he's a Boston fan. He parents live on the Cape. Like that whole thing. Chicks in the office got a big pop, you know, anytime you guys were mentioned.

[Ria]

Oh, thank you.

[Noah]

But, yeah, no, it was fun.

[Bridget]

So I got such a funny text from my friend because she want, like, it was like just one of those chain connections. She's texting me, Bridget, text me. She's like, oh, yeah, Noah doing some sort of like, bumble thing in Boston. My friend is there and she's asking me to ask you to help set her friend up with him. And it was just like a long connection and I was like, I was cracking up. That is happening right now.

[Noah]

But there was some girl that I was talking to and she was like, oh, you know Fran's friend Bridget? And I'm like, yeah, she's like, oh, like we're really good friends too. I'm like, what? What a coincidence.

[Bridget]

Yeah, yeah. So it's a hilarious connection. But. But she's, I believe, married.

[Noah]

Yeah, I don't think that girl I was talking to.

[Bridget]

No, no, she's married, but she was there with one of her friends and the friend was asking about you and it was just like a hilarious pass down of like ask ask G to ask Bridget to ask Fran about now.

[Noah]

Well, hey, maybe.

[Bridget]

Yeah, I mean, hey, I don't know if I actually sounds like a good, sounds like a good turnout.

[Noah]

It was, it was a packed bar, so.

[Bridget]

And it must have been the open bar.

[Noah]

Yeah, hey, someone must have sold that event on social media for all those people to show up. But then I, I went to the Cape the next day. I don't know if you saw my story, but I booked a flight from Boston to the Cape and I was like, I woke up like super hungover and I was like thinking about not going, but I just went. And I was expecting like a normal plane, but it was like a five seater plane with this one guy flying it.

[Bridget]

There was a Cape Air. Was it Cape Air?

[Noah]

But I don't know, I thought that Cape Air was just like Cape Air

[Bridget]

doesn't have big planes. I didn't really have little places.

[Noah]

I didn't know that because you know what I should have known is I got a like email being like, you can switch your flight to like this time or this time for free. And it was all like in the span of 10 minutes and I'm like, how many flights are going to the Cape? Yeah, but it was just me, three other people. And literally this guy looked like he was 15, I swear to God. And it was just him. I'm like, wait, there's no co pilot. Like I was watching everything he's doing because in my mind I'm like, if something happens to him, like, I gotta land this plane. But it was like a 20 minute flight. But still, I don't like no co pilots like that. That, that kind of scares me because anything could happen up there.

[Bridget]

Yeah, you're not wrong. But hey, now, let alone now, you know, it can, it can happen successfully.

[Ria]

Without one.

[Bridget]

It made it.

[Noah]

I mean, it happens successfully all the time, but. But it just takes one thing. It just takes one health scare.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And also, it's like, I could. I could have grabbed. I'm. Not that I ever would, but, like, I could have just put him in a chokehold if I wanted to, you know?

[Ria]

Yeah. That's an intrusive thought. Wow. What a thoughts. Yeah.

[Noah]

Not me. Like, I. But I. I'd be like, any. Any of these other people could be freaks. I don't know.

[Ria]

That's so true, though. Like, it's like when you would sit in class, you'd be like, I could stand up and scream right now.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You know, you could really do anything.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But we, you know, signatures of thought.

[Bridget]

Yeah, no, that is the. That is. That is Cape Air. That. Those are the planes that they. They fly. I've done that before. Boston to the Vineyard.

[Ria]

And it's.

[Bridget]

You just. You just get on and it's a little. It's a little plain. You feel like you're taking.

[Noah]

It kind of reminded me like.

[Bridget]

Like flying, like, flying lessons.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Fran, how do you feel about being surrounded by all your favorite people next weekend at Dancing with the Stars Con?

[Bridget]

I'm very excited. I think it's going to be a blast. I'm excited to see all the people. I'm, like, also a fan. So I'm looking at the schedule, like, ooh. I want to go to all these

[Ria]

things

[Bridget]

and sit and see everything else that that's happening. So I feel like it's going to be. I feel like it's going to be a ton of fun. There's some pros that are going that I haven't met, like, that were past pros that I am a big fan of, so I'm really excited to get to. To meet them. We have our panel set, which I think it's going to be so much fun. You guys are all going to be able to hear that. That is going to be recorded and put into the podcast. We're also going to hopefully talk to a ton of people that are. That are there, so we'll have lots of content for you next week. I'm just hoping to waltz my way through that arena, you know, just constantly being spun around.

[Ria]

Yeah. Hopefully, you know, someone could spin you around maybe a little. Some dancing some more.

[Bridget]

Yeah, yeah. There's. We're playing ping pong, which is gonna be.

[Ria]

I'm not playing ping pong, though.

[Bridget]

You're not playing.

[Ria]

You. You're playing ping pong. You can have Noah as your partner or if somebody else on the team is. Wants to play ping pong. I'm opting out ping pong, but I

[Bridget]

was the only one that said yes. So I think it's just me that they put me in it.

[Ria]

So you'll be paired up with somebody.

[Bridget]

I'm sure they'll give me somebody else because I think it was like, Pilot

[Noah]

Pete is flying in for this.

[Bridget]

Yeah. Fans can do it.

[Noah]

And Drake May, they're all coming back.

[Bridget]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I dibs on Drake May. He's a good, he's a good ping pong player. But I mean, they, the boys wanted to like play ping pong. So Brandon and Alan, I think it was their, their idea. So that's, that's another one of the many festivities that will be going on throughout this weekend.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Bridget]

And it will be a balmy 115 degrees, but we'll be inside, so we'll be okay for those portions.

[Ria]

Thank God.

[Bridget]

I'm actually curious to really experience. I know this is going to sound silly, but I'm really actually looking forward to experiencing that weather. Like, just from a standpoint of like a case study. Like, I've never been in weather that hot in the desert. You know, like, this is a new feeling. This is a new, like, I can be like. Because, you know, everyone's like, ah, it's a dry heat. Well, is it now we're going to be able to.

[Noah]

Yes. It's not humid.

[Bridget]

It's not humid.

[Noah]

Okay, then maybe it's not as bad. Like, I think I might prefer like 115 not humid than like 95 humid.

[Bridget]

You know, here's the thing. We're gonna find out.

[Ria]

Yeah, we're.

[Bridget]

You're gonna step outside and you'll be able to assess and we'll be able to say, wow, we've experienced this climate for the first time ever.

[Ria]

Yeah. There's no one who loves weather more than friend nobody.

[Bridget]

I, I know that you guys keep

[Ria]

saying this to her lately.

[Bridget]

I'm like, I've been so excited, been

[Ria]

a meteorologist like you. She, she is the person that's like talking about the, you know, people used to say, like, talking about the weather is like the, you know, you. When you don't know what to talk about. Yeah. Like, Fran talks about the weather with genuine, like.

[Bridget]

No, it's excitement.

[Ria]

It's not like I have interest in it.

[Bridget]

It's the first thing I'm bringing up even when I have other more exciting things to bring up.

[Ria]

Yeah. You Just really love weather.

[Bridget]

I don't know what it is. I think I got it from my dad because my dad really loves it. And it was just like.

[Ria]

But we're.

[Bridget]

It's, it's. It's an amateur love. You know, we want to. We're not. We're not pros, but we're.

[Ria]

Yes. It's just like.

[Bridget]

But we're amateurs. If you love it.

[Ria]

Right. And you really have to love it because otherwise you're like, why are we talking about the weather so much?

[Bridget]

Absolutely. Absolutely.

[Ria]

Which I said to you in the Berkshires because I literally turned to Rand. I was like, yeah. Did you ever think about. Yeah. Did you ever think about being a weather girl? I know, I know.

[Bridget]

It's a. It's. It's a tough gig. It's a lot of it is. There's a. That's a whole nother world. Like, I'm not. I don't know that much.

[Ria]

Right. But you just have a genuine life for the day to day.

[Bridget]

Yes. And we have been discussing the 115 degrees.

[Ria]

Yeah, I'm worried about that. But I'm just trying to.

[Noah]

What's the coldest you've ever been in? Oh, I mean, I went to Syracuse, so there were days where it was like, minus probably like minus 30. Yeah.

[Bridget]

Maybe.

[Ria]

I don't.

[Bridget]

I just think it would be like a really cold day in New York City. Like, I haven't gone anywhere where it's been like, oh, my God. Or maybe somewhere. Honestly, it was probably Minneapolis for the Super Bowl.

[Ria]

Oh, my gosh. Yes. That was really freezing. That was really, really cold.

[Bridget]

Like, I actually think that was maybe the coldest.

[Ria]

Yeah, that's a good call. That's a good call. That was super cold.

[Noah]

I remember that I was filming you guys and I, like, couldn't feel my fingers.

[Bridget]

Yeah, no, that was. We were, like, doing stuff outside.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

It was crazy.

[Ria]

Yeah. That was very cold.

[Bridget]

I feel like that was maybe the coldest because other than that, I haven't. Look, I'm not a big ski trip person, and even then I haven't. I've gone and it hasn't been like that cold. My friends actually went this past winter to Vermont and it was one of those weekends where it was like in the. In the negatives and they just had to come home. Like, it was like, you can't even. You can't be even skiing in that.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

So. Yeah. Yeah. But now we'll. We'll get to add to our spectrum.

[Ria]

Thank God. Thank God. No, I am excited to See it. I. I have never experienced that either, so. All right, let's get into the rest of today's show. We're going to be talking about. Emma Roberts is officially married. Usher tells a fan to get off stage after his sexy time. Ryan Gosling has been announced as Ghost Rider in Doomsday and New Black Panther. A lot of Marvel talk in which.

[Bridget]

Yeah, yeah, it was Comic Con.

[Ria]

It was Comic Con. That makes sense. It was Comic Con inside. And we have the weekly watch report. So let's get into it. From colorful tees to cozy sweats and trusted underwear, Fruit of the Loom has earned its reputation through consistency, comfort, and everyday ease. People make hundreds of decisions every single day. Even small, everyday choices can add stress without us realizing it. That's why simple decisions feel so good. That's why I love my new Fruit of the Loom stuff that I got. I got these new wide leg sweatpants that are so easy. And we're traveling this week, so to know that I'm going to be able to just pack my Fruit of the Loom sweatpants. I got my sports bras, comfort tees that are just easy to travel in, and I know that I have them. It just is easy and everyday essential because that simplicity matters, especially when you're packing. You want things to be just, you know, simple. Fruit of the Loom women's underwear is one of those rare things that makes life easier instead of more complicated. And it makes these decisions very simple because it's comfortable, it's consistent, you can trust it very easily. You don't have to second guess any of it. The feel, the fit, whether it's going to hold up through the day, you know, the consistency with Fruit of the Loom. And it proves that simple feels really good. Simple decisions just hit different. And this one does. Fruit of the Loom has you covered with a variety of comfortable styles, from underwear to sweatshirts to sleepwear and more. So go ahead, shop now and enjoy. One less thing to think about. A congratulations to Emma Roberts, who married her now husband, who's an actor, Cody John. This past weekend, on Saturday in Idaho, they got married. Beautiful dress. Documented all of that. I honestly had forgotten that she'd been in this relationship. They've been together for four years now. Yeah, um, I kind of feel like this has been like a very private relationship, or maybe I just don't keep up with Emma Roberts that much. But this came to a surprise to me because I said, oh, my gosh, I didn't even know she was dating somebody.

[Bridget]

Yes, she. Yeah, there. There's like a little bit here or there, but I feel like she keeps more things private. They did get engaged in July of 2024. My first thought was when I looked it up, I was like, is this his real name?

[Ria]

Cody John.

[Bridget]

Yeah, you know. You know, like, first and last name.

[Ria]

Yeah, he's a firsty. Lasty. Firsty.

[Bridget]

Cody John's real. Oh, this is a rumor. Not a rumor, but I. I mean,

[Ria]

this is rumor about his name.

[Bridget]

This is from. It's my Google.

[Ria]

My.

[Bridget]

My Google results. Cody. Hold on. Where'd it go? Cody Daniel Johnson.

[Ria]

Cody. Okay, that's like, all the most obvious names thrown together. Cody Daniel Johnson. Cody John. Yeah, I would also.

[Bridget]

And you just became Cody John.

[Ria]

I would also shorten my name. If I was an actor, I'd be like, I'm Cody John, because Cody Johnson is maybe a little bit like. I don't know which one's more generic. Cody Johnson or Cody John.

[Bridget]

Right.

[Ria]

They're both pretty generic.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But as an actor, Cody John kind of flows.

[Bridget]

One just right, one just like. Yeah, it just has that.

[Ria]

Cody Dan John.

[Bridget]

Yes.

[Ria]

Cody Daniel John.

[Bridget]

He is an actor. He was. He's been in several shows. He was in Wu Tang and American Saga and In the Dark, which is on the cw. I don't know if I feel like I've ever seen. I don't know if I've seen anything that he's been in, despite his face looking very familiar. But they got married in Idaho. Weddings, like, that's like such a gorgeous, gorgeous setting, gorgeous backdrop, beautiful place. She wore this gorgeous. Monique, like, looked a little cream, maybe like a creamish color. It was really, really pretty. And of course, every, like, report is. Ends with. And Julia and her aunt Julia Roberts and her husband were in attendance.

[Ria]

Yes, well, of course.

[Bridget]

Thank you for letting us know that it is her aunt. But it's always like, the last thing. It's like, oh, and Julia Roberts was there. Well, yes, thank you. And there's. That's what all the pictures were. It'd be like all the slides I saw on Instagram. It was of them, them, them, them, them, them. And then the last one is just

[Ria]

like, Julia Roberts, of course, to make

[Bridget]

sure that she's there.

[Noah]

Of course.

[Bridget]

But it looked like a beautiful wedding. You know, I don't. There's. There's not. We don't have any other, really, details. I did see a Vogue video of her coming out, showing her dress to her. To her friends and family, and everybody was very emotional. It was beautiful.

[Ria]

I think that was my first time experiencing what nepotism was. Was watching on Fabulous and learning that Emma Roberts was Julia Roberts niece. My mind was fucking blown. Yeah. I was like, what do you mean?

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Somebody who's a very famous actress's niece is in a show. I wasn't mad about it. I was right. I was amazed. I said, oh, my God,

[Bridget]

this is who I'm up against. Well.

[Ria]

Well, yes, but also not really at that time. Like, it was more just like, oh, my God, I'm amazed there's so much talent in one family. Yeah. You know, and then I started getting more mad about nepotism when, like, Elle Fanning would beat me out of every role because I'm like, okay, we got Dakota already.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Who's great. Obviously, now her sister's coming into the

[Bridget]

picture worried about both of them.

[Ria]

Now I gotta be worried about two Fannings. Okay, now we. Now we got a big problem on our hands. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bridget]

Abs. That's. That's so fair. I'm very happy for Emma. I feel like there's been some ups and downs in. In her love life. And this feels. This feels like an up. I was on his family estate. Feels like it is an up.

[Ria]

She's got a beautiful.

[Bridget]

Yes. Yes.

[Ria]

Beautiful wedding in Idaho.

[Bridget]

Yeah. His family estate in Sun Valley.

[Noah]

Ooh.

[Bridget]

Okay. Okay.

[Ria]

Johnson Family one Johnson Family Vacation. Great movie. Have you guys ever seen that?

[Bridget]

Yes.

[Ria]

Oh, I was.

[Noah]

I have not.

[Bridget]

Yes.

[Ria]

I was genuinely obsessed with that movie when I was younger. Like, I watched it so many times. Ah, I gotta run that one back. But when. So when I hear estate, it's like, that's a wealthy family.

[Noah]

You know, when we're at the dancecon,

[Bridget]

let's say you have land.

[Noah]

Let's talk to other people and say, you want to come back to our estate.

[Ria]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bridget]

No, an estate is like, you got property.

[Ria]

Right, Right. Property is the word. You're. You're wealthy and you got property.

[Bridget]

Yeah, yeah. Sometimes it is used to Willy Nilly.

[Ria]

You think so?

[Bridget]

Yeah, it's like Colin, Olivia Rodrigo's Wall street power player, is like, no, he's not.

[Ria]

We don't know that.

[Bridget]

You just. You're just picking some lingo. No, we absolutely know that.

[Ria]

Sun Valley, their Sun Valley estate. Well, they got married there, and they're calling it an estate. Then I'm gonna assume that they got property.

[Bridget]

I did think I really did enjoy this, seeing the video of the dress. It was a very unique dress, which I love. Like, anytime I see something different that I haven't seen before. I love to see.

[Ria]

And it could be turned into, like, multiple different dresses.

[Bridget]

Yes. I was watching that video.

[Ria]

It was like a three in one.

[Bridget]

Yes. The quote was, designing Emma's wedding gowns was about capturing a feeling of timeless romance through a modern lens. Every detail from the custom vintage rose hue. Oh, it was a rose hue. To the hand draped silk chiffon, delicate lacework and sculpted corsetry was created to reflect our effortless spirit while celebrating the artistry of couture.

[Ria]

Gorgeous.

[Bridget]

Gorgeous.

[Ria]

Love it.

[Bridget]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

She's got.

[Bridget]

She's rocking a good hair color right now too. I love that blonde. It's that blonde on her.

[Ria]

That Idaho estate blonde.

[Noah]

Valley blonde. I'm gonna say I have an estate in midtown.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

Everyone to check out my estate.

[Ria]

You ladies want to go back to my estate?

[Noah]

My estate in Hell's Kitchen?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

Oh, that's nice. Sarah Paulson re shared the video of her in the wedding dress and wrote, no, one more beautiful.

[Ria]

Oh, that's very sweet. Yeah.

[Bridget]

Yeah, that's.

[Ria]

Did Sarah. Did Sarah Paulson and Mary Holland Taylor break up? Mary.

[Bridget]

Mary Holland Taylor. Holland Holland Taylor. Her name is Jess Holland.

[Ria]

There's no Mary in front of it.

[Bridget]

No, you're talking about Mary Holland Nader. Different. So there's no.

[Ria]

Okay.

[Bridget]

You're the only person in the world probably confusing Mary Holland Nader and Holland Taylor be like esteemed actress Taylor.

[Ria]

It's just you. You just want to say Mary Holland Taylor. She feels like a three named actress.

[Bridget]

And I. And probably also because Sarah Paulson. Not that she. All the time, Sarah Marie Paulson is going like full name, but her Instagram is Sarah Catherine Paulson. Like, her full name is in her.

[Ria]

Got.

[Bridget]

It's Ms. Sarah Catherine Paulson. That's her full Instagram name.

[Ria]

Okay. Did they break up?

[Bridget]

I don't think so. But I did see that rumor, right?

[Ria]

There was like a rumor that they were not together.

[Bridget]

Yes.

[Noah]

Anytime I see the pictures of these two, it's just. It's never less shocking.

[Ria]

Right?

[Bridget]

I don't think so. I just think, like, we don't see them all the time together.

[Ria]

But there was that rumor for a little bit.

[Bridget]

I. Yes, there was. I did see a question of that for sure.

[Ria]

Moving on, over the weekend, Usher had another concert. He's. He's been on tour. He's on tour.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And he does a little sexy time on stage. He invites somebody on stage, a little sexy, intimate little dance. But this time around, the woman he invited on stage, Usher, said that she didn't seem interested enough. And he kicked her ass right off the stage.

[Bridget]

Imagine getting booted. Like, there's. There's so many things. One, you watch the video. She did. She did seem like she wasn't that. That pumped to be up there. Now, I saw multiple posts that are allegedly this woman who was, like, pissed off that everybody was mad. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. However, I don't know. Like, if you're at the Usher show and you are getting pulled up, you gotta act like you like Usher.

[Ria]

No, I mean, here's the thing. Like, he kind of. Is the way it goes is like you raise your hand or does he just pick somebody random?

[Bridget]

I think they pick people.

[Noah]

She find the hottest girl in the crowd. Like, she.

[Bridget]

She posted that, like, somebody picked her. Like, moved her and her mom's seats.

[Ria]

Oh, they picked her. They were like, you're going to go on stage.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Here's the thing. If you're going to an Usher concert, you got to be prepared for anything at this point. Because his concerts, lately, you've been seeing, like, it gets sexy, and there's a chance you're being pulled up there for a sexy.

[Noah]

I want to see what a normal one is, though, that, like, that's acceptable to Usher because, like, what was she supposed to do?

[Bridget]

Well, I guess because people were like, she should have said no. Like, if she was, like, when she got picked, like, if she didn't want to go up, she should have said no. So she allegedly posted, first off, nobody is declining to go on stage. I looked good as you thought. I wasn't going to let thousands of people see me on the big screen. Where you will never be. My mom and I had floor seats. Their team approached us and moved us to VIP before the show even started. Pretty privilege is something you will never know about. They don't say who you're going up there for. You all wanted me to get up there. Oh, it says you all wanted me to get up there and. And him.

[Ria]

Whoa, whoa. No. Yeah, no.

[Bridget]

Fuck y'. All. Disrespectfully.

[Noah]

I'm kind of on this girl is

[Bridget]

how she ended the message.

[Noah]

Yeah, I like that.

[Ria]

Here's the thing, like, You know, it's like when I was younger and we were at Sea World, which I know is not cool anymore, but this was, like, years and years ago when. When it was still okay to go to SeaWorld. Now it's not, you know, it's definitely not. Like, I understand that now, but I was a child and they asked me to go up on stage. For the SeaWorld show. And I said, act like you like dolphins. It's not. No. First of all, I do like dolphins, remember?

[Bridget]

Yes, yes.

[Ria]

It's Wales Sea World. Right?

[Bridget]

Oh, is it?

[Noah]

I don't know.

[Ria]

I think it's a mix.

[Bridget]

I think it's a mix. I think they had it all.

[Noah]

I think they have everything.

[Ria]

I think they have everything. I was pretty sure they had it all, but they came, they approached me, and I said, no, no, I don't want to go up there.

[Noah]

You weren't acting sexy enough with the.

[Ria]

I wasn't. No. They thought I was cute enough to get up there.

[Bridget]

What were they gonna have you do?

[Ria]

They, like, feed the. Oh, I gotta. You know, the fan. You do the show like you're part of the show.

[Bridget]

This is a hilarious comparison.

[Ria]

They. I know. I was trying to make a comparison, and it just went south. And it was supposed to be funny, and now it's just awkward.

[Bridget]

And you're like, you know what? That lady should have known. She didn't wanna be fed like Usher. Fed by Usher. Just like, I didn't want to feed those.

[Ria]

I didn't want to feed the fish at Sea World. And I said, no, no, no, I'm. Yeah, I'm sitting here. Same thing happened at Universal. It's kind of weird. Universal as well. They did, like, one of those shows. And you would have thought that I'd be dying to get up there.

[Bridget]

Yeah, you would have.

[Ria]

But as a kid. No, I didn't. I didn't want, like, as a kid, before I started my acting journey, I didn't want that. And my dad went up and played Jimmy Neutron.

[Bridget]

Wow.

[Ria]

Yeah. Like, we have the pictures. Like, my dad, they literally brought him backstage.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And dressed him as Jimmy Neutron.

[Bridget]

That's amazing. You didn't want anything to do with it.

[Ria]

So twice I denied going on stage. So she could have denied here going on stage.

[Bridget]

Here's the thing. Usher is, like. He's really oiled up when he's up. When he's up there, it's sweat. It also probably is some sort of oil, you know? Or maybe she was just, like, ruining my outfit. I don't know.

[Ria]

I gotta be honest. I think I would say no. Like, I think I know we were saying before that you show up to the ostrich concert, you gotta be prepared for anything.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I think if they called us, one of us up on stage to go up and be oily.

[Noah]

You're married.

[Bridget]

But here's the thing. Step one would be us being at an Usher Concert. Like that's, you know.

[Ria]

Well, I would go to an Usher

[Bridget]

concert if it was solo. Usher, very different story. He's on tour with Chris Brown right now, so.

[Ria]

Oh, is he?

[Bridget]

Yes.

[Noah]

And Chris Brown also famously does this type of thing on stage.

[Ria]

Wait, what do you mean Ushers on tour with Chris Brown?

[Bridget]

Usher and Chris Brown are on a

[Ria]

joint tour right now. What?

[Bridget]

Yes. Yes.

[Ria]

Where am I? What world am I living in? Yeah, I had no idea.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

What?

[Bridget]

Big time. Yeah, it's called the.

[Ria]

The sexy tour.

[Bridget]

Chris Brown and Ushers co headlining. Co headlining the R and B tour.

[Ria]

I am. I am flabbergasted. I want to take back everything I've said here. I want to redo this segment. I. Because I didn't know.

[Bridget]

I am. Yeah.

[Ria]

In genuine shock right now. How do I haven't seen one Chris Brown.

[Bridget]

Because. Clip. And that's for a reason.

[Ria]

I've only seen Usher on tour.

[Bridget]

Yeah, no, they're together. It's a, It's a combo. That's why in the girls. That's why in the girl's post, she also said, like, they don't say who you're going up there for. Like, I don't think she knew if

[Noah]

she was going up.

[Bridget]

I don't know if she. If she, like, thought she was going up for Chris Brown, they picked her for Usher. I don't know. I don't know.

[Ria]

I am. Guys, I am so confused about this whole thing right now. I really am. Because now it's reminding me that Justin Bieber slapped Usher recently. Right. Didn't Justin Bieber and Usher get into a physical altercation?

[Bridget]

There was a alleged. Alleged. There was an alleged altercation.

[Ria]

So, guys, maybe Usher is no good. Yeah.

[Bridget]

But Justin, like, still, it definitely wasn't over Chris Brown. Like, no, no, I know that.

[Ria]

Justin's not like, you're working with Chris Brown.

[Bridget]

Yeah, slap.

[Ria]

Like, I. Justin likes Chris Brown. Justin. Justin likes Chris Brown.

[Bridget]

Justin still posts about Chris Brown.

[Noah]

Like, always love Chris Brown.

[Bridget]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

I. I need a sip of water. I'm so confused because I feel like, kind of just weird that I didn't know these two were on tour together. You like, you know when you're like, I work in the pop culture space, but I didn't know that Usher and Chris Brown were on tour together.

[Bridget]

That it hasn't been like, really included that much. Clearly, obviously, like.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. Now I'm googling Usher and Chris Brown on tour together.

[Bridget]

Yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

I'm looking, I'm looking. If there's Any dates that would work for us. Hey, August 7th, they're at MetLife.

[Ria]

August 7th and 8th, they're playing MetLife.

[Bridget]

This is a stadium tour.

[Ria]

I can't believe. I can't believe Usher and Chris Brown are on a stadium tour together.

[Bridget]

This is a stadium in a couple days.

[Ria]

Chris Brown's like a bad guy. Yeah, Hot take. No, I, I, Hey, I, I'm now

[Bridget]

I'm on the website raymond and brown tour.com.

[Noah]

why Raymond?

[Bridget]

That's Usher's name.

[Noah]

But wouldn't you want to use your, you know, your stage name?

[Ria]

What's Usher? Raymond. Raymond. No, I know, but, but Brown, like, Brown is Chris Brown's last name. So they, so, so it's like they,

[Bridget]

they use last names.

[Ria]

Oh, they're going to, they're going to Syracuse. Noah, did you just say that?

[Noah]

No, I just said that.

[Bridget]

But yeah, they got, they got two nights at MetLife, two nights in MetLife.

[Noah]

The Jonas Brothers wish.

[Bridget]

Please don't even make that comparison.

[Noah]

Wow, man. Should we go just, like, to, you know, like, for.

[Ria]

To investigate?

[Bridget]

This is a, this is a pretty

[Noah]

legit friend Ria up there. Get my friend Ria up there.

[Ria]

Absolutely not.

[Bridget]

Well, so they're, so they're also, they're bringing people on stage. In, in on it's stadiums.

[Ria]

They're bringing people. A bird just flew right into my window. That's got to, that's got to happen.

[Bridget]

Like,

[Noah]

I Listen, you can't blame her for getting up on stage in a

[Bridget]

stadium saying, I may you be. I. Yeah. Now I'm like, what? That would make me nervous.

[Ria]

Yeah, friend. Would you, Would you. If they asked you to go on stage, if Usher asked you to go on stage, do you think you would. You think you'd get oiled up and down by Usher on stage?

[Noah]

Fran with Usher? Ria with Chris Brown?

[Bridget]

No, I sick.

[Ria]

You're a sick puppy, Noah.

[Bridget]

I feel like. No.

[Noah]

Is that because you guys are married or is it because you just wouldn't want to go up?

[Bridget]

No, this is more so like my, my level of like.

[Noah]

But what if.

[Bridget]

Would I even want that?

[Ria]

No, I have to be completely honest. Like, that feels disrespectful as a married woman to get on stage and get oiled up by one of these guys. Like, that's. I would not be. I would not be happy if we were at, like, I don't even fucking know, like a Dua Lipa concert and dually and Matt's like, yes, yes, I want to go on stage and get rubbed down by Dua Lipa. Like, it's insane.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I'd be like, the hell you're not. I'll rub you up and down with oil. You don't got to get rubbed up and down by dua lipa. It's insane.

[Bridget]

I don't know. If that opportunity came up, I think I'd let him do it.

[Ria]

Well, good for you.

[Bridget]

You know?

[Ria]

I mean, good for you.

[Bridget]

Because, look, if that opportunity came up for me down the line in another way and somebody that I cared about more, that.

[Ria]

That's totally you, though. Like, that's totally you. I don't have any. Like, I don't want to be rubbed up by anybody.

[Noah]

I'm more stuck on, like, what is the reaction that Usher needs for you to not get kicked off stage? Like, it wasn't like, she was disgusted.

[Ria]

She was like, yeah.

[Noah]

She was just, like, not. I don't even know.

[Bridget]

I've seen other clips of it. Like, they're, you know, like, what does

[Noah]

he do to them? Like, like, what was he about to do?

[Ria]

Like this. Like, just.

[Bridget]

He wants her to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, if you were taken up on stage at, like, a Chippendale show, you know, they're just trying to do, like, the full Pony situation.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh,

[Bridget]

that's.

[Ria]

Now I'm envisioning this happening at a Jonas Brothers concert.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah. Imagine if all artists did this.

[Ria]

It's. When you really boil it down, it's pretty crazy.

[Bridget]

Well, because I also was gonna say that, like, my immediate comeback was gonna be like, well, they're all married. And then, like, well, Joe's not, but the other. Like, and then. But then I also, like, But Usher's married, right?

[Ria]

But let's be honest.

[Noah]

Like, Usher's married right now.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And he's doing this every night.

[Bridget]

It's part of the show. It's part of the act.

[Noah]

It's a character, baby. It's a character.

[Bridget]

I. I don't know, but he's has kind of always done this rumor in his Vegas residency. He was doing this, like, when Kim Kardashian, all of her friends went, yes. They were, like, up on stage with Usher.

[Ria]

Well, he used to do, like, the cherry thing. Yeah, that was the thing.

[Bridget]

Like, this is just like, we're. I don't know if we're just. If we know enough about Usher shows.

[Ria]

Let's be honest, though. Like, if. If this was happening at a Jonas Brothers concert, it is Joe performing this. No other brother is doing this. Joe's doing it.

[Bridget]

Well, well, well. Yeah, only because only one is not married.

[Noah]

Right?

[Bridget]

Also, even he's in a relationship, I still don't think he would do it because he's in a relationship.

[Ria]

He definitely wouldn't. That would.

[Bridget]

And they would never do that. They would never do this anyway. It's not part of their act.

[Ria]

Yes, well, I'm talking hypotheticals, Fran. I don't think the Jonas Brothers are rubbing up on any.

[Noah]

What if Benson Boone starts doing this?

[Bridget]

That would be hilarious from row.

[Ria]

Me, me, me, me.

[Bridget]

That would be hilarious.

[Ria]

Oh, my God.

[Bridget]

Only if. Only if. Moonbeam ice cream, please.

[Ria]

And he rubs you with ice cream.

[Noah]

No, he just starts flipping over you like that.

[Bridget]

He should start doing that. He should start doing that. That's a great idea.

[Ria]

He makes you stand in different positions and sees.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

All right. You should do a doggy. Let's do a doggy stylist.

[Noah]

Yeah, they're all, like, sexual positions, but he's just flipping over you.

[Bridget]

He just sits in a chair. Well, I feel like you could just sit in a chair and he could do flips.

[Ria]

No, you gotta do. You gotta hit different positions. You gotta.

[Bridget]

I don't think he can just flip like that.

[Ria]

Well, that's the test. That is the test.

[Bridget]

Anyways, anyways, Usher literally was like, she did not want to be on stage.

[Ria]

Oh, man.

[Bridget]

I think it's so funny posting, like, multiple commentary afterwards, like, just saying, oh, you would have said no to go on stage. Nobody's saying no to go on stage looking as good as I did.

[Ria]

Oh, fair, fair, fair. Moving on. I don't know much about this. You guys are Marvel people. I'm not really a.

[Bridget]

It's really just me.

[Noah]

I don't know. No, I don't. Don't. That. That. Don't call me a Marvel person. I'm not.

[Ria]

Oh, okay. Friends.

[Bridget]

Don't act like it's such a insult.

[Noah]

No, I've been just like, I'm not. Well, no, it's not an insult to everyone. I just. I. I'm not like, I've never been. I've never been. I'm not like, oh, my God, the new Spider Man. Like, that's not. That's not me.

[Bridget]

That's fair.

[Noah]

And, hey, I won't judge you.

[Bridget]

It was just the way you said it. You were like, no, no, no. Don't put me in there.

[Noah]

Well, they are catching a lot of heat these days just for, like, production quality and, you know, like, all that stuff like that. That New Avengers trailer kind of got beat up online.

[Bridget]

It did yeah. Let me tell you something. We're on different sides of the Internet because you're on the Marvel hate side, and I'm on the Marvel love side. People are on my timeline. People are hyped up for Doomsday.

[Noah]

Really?

[Bridget]

Yes.

[Noah]

Oh, no, it was more just like the Odyssey just came out and it was like, wow. Like, look at this. Like, he shot all this practically, and, like, he didn't want to use cgi, and it's, like, beautiful. And then this Avengers trailer comes out where it's like everything is a green screen, like, and blah, blah, blah. Like, that type of thing.

[Bridget]

Yeah, it's a fucking superhero movie. Like, one.

[Noah]

Hey, listen, listen. I'm not coming after you.

[Ria]

Fight, fight, fight.

[Bridget]

It's funny. It's funny because it's just like, it really does show. Like, that's. Those are the. Those are the tweets that are coming up on your page. Like, talk about the cinematography of this.

[Ria]

He's a producer.

[Noah]

No, but I'm not a hater at all. And I actually have enjoyed, like, some of the Avengers movies, and I haven't watched, like, a lot of them, but, yeah. Good.

[Ria]

If you guys had a superhero name, what would your superhero name be?

[Noah]

Captain Peanut.

[Bridget]

Captain Peanut.

[Ria]

Oh, we're so scared.

[Bridget]

She think you would need, like, the opposite.

[Noah]

No, I know, but I was trying to embrace the. Like, embrace my only. But I guess Superman's not calling.

[Bridget]

Well, perhaps your superhero power takes away your allergy.

[Ria]

Captain Nut.

[Noah]

Super Nut.

[Ria]

Oh, man. Super Nut is. Super Nut is insane. Captain Super Nut is crazy.

[Bridget]

Oh, yeah, that. That is. That's. That's a wild one. That's disgusting. I have no idea. I've never thought about it, and I would never really be able to come up with one on the spot.

[Ria]

Like, okay, okay, fun's over.

[Bridget]

No, I. I. Do you have one off the top of your head? Yeah. Like,

[Ria]

not Captain. It would be like, Miss a lioness. Something like that. Like, something with lion involved.

[Noah]

Oh, my God, is that Miss Lioness? Kids screaming in the street.

[Ria]

Well, that's. Oh. Oh. Like, Catwoman is groundbreaking.

[Noah]

I'm going to see the Miss Lioness movie with my mom.

[Bridget]

I wouldn't be surprised if that is a movie down the line, right?

[Ria]

Like, Catwoman is not. Or. What is it? Ms. Webb or whatever her name was.

[Bridget]

Madame Web.

[Ria]

Like, like, lioness. Ms. Lioness kind of fits the vibe. Madame Web, Catwoman.

[Bridget]

They don't exactly have the craziest names. Most are pretty straightforward. You know, Batman, Superman, Spider Man.

[Ria]

Miss Lioness. Lady Lady Lion Lady Lioness and Captain Supernut come together.

[Noah]

No, we gotta find another name for me.

[Ria]

Captain Super Die.

[Bridget]

You came up with that yourself?

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bridget]

You thrust that upon yourself.

[Noah]

But it's like I was kind of thinking in terms of like, although it's not the same at all, like Achilles, like in Greek mythology where it's like. And over time that has become like his, his only kryptonite type thing. His only weakness is like his name. Well, that's. But it's, it's.

[Ria]

Well, do your, do your intro. Like it it ladies.

[Bridget]

Lioness also really comes down to what your superpower is, you know. Yeah, yeah, that really is, that really is a part of the name.

[Noah]

But most superheroes don't just have one. They have like a lot of different things, you know.

[Bridget]

Yeah. But if we're talking like cartoon level, it's like well, Elastigirl.

[Noah]

Oh, I love the Incredibles names.

[Bridget]

Pretty self explanatory.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

You know,

[Noah]

I don't know.

[Ria]

All right. Anyways, Ryan Gosling was announced as Ghost Rider.

[Bridget]

Yeah, he's. He's going to be Ghost Rider in the new, in a new Ghost Rider film that'll be out in 2028. He and Shawn Levy is directing. Disney's putting a lot behind these two because they're also doing a Star wars movie like a, like a, an individual Star Wars Story. That's Ryan Gosling that is coming out in May of 2027 that Sean Levy is also directing. Now he's being. He got announced as for a whole new, you know, whole new character franchise, his own movie kind of thing. Which is funny because Nicholas Cage plays, played Ghost Rider once upon a time. Eva Mendes was in that movie. Now her husband is the new Ghost Rider.

[Ria]

Interesting. It all comes together.

[Bridget]

It all comes together. So he came out on stage at Comic Con, you know, Crab on Wild. Everybody freaked out.

[Ria]

The whole thing.

[Bridget]

That's got to be. You know, when you're there for those big announcements. They also. Ryan Reynolds was there, he's dressed as Deadpool. They had a whole whole thing because they bring out all the, they had all the people out to, to promote that. To promote Doomsday. And then we've been waiting for the announcement on Black Panther and who would be taking over that role. And Ryan Coogler was on stage and announced that it is going to be David Johnson who is a 32 year old British actor. Do you watch him in industry, Noah? Right, because he's an industry.

[Noah]

Yeah, he was in industry. He's good.

[Bridget]

Yeah. It felt like People really. It was between, like, at least from what I saw, it seemed to be between him and Damson Idris. So he's a little. I said couldn't go.

[Noah]

Couldn't go wrong, but, you know.

[Bridget]

Yeah, but movie magic. I mean, like, look at Tom Holland.

[Ria]

The camera adds 10 pounds and. And like 6 inches.

[Bridget]

And you can really. Yeah, you can really.

[Ria]

It really adds.

[Bridget]

You really stretch them out.

[Ria]

So.

[Bridget]

Yeah. Yeah. And then that's. I don't know when,

[Noah]

like, I feel like five years from now.

[Bridget]

It does. It does take some time. Probably they're just announcing his. Him taking over and he. He will be playing the. He's the son of Chadwick Boseman's character.

[Ria]

Okay. Interesting. Yeah, Yeah,

[Bridget]

I believe so.

[Noah]

Okay. Because he didn't direct one of the Black Panthers, I believe, like, recently or like one of the last ones, because I think he had, like, a conflict. I. I feel like that's true. Or am I making that up?

[Bridget]

I thought he did. I thought he did all of them.

[Noah]

Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Oh, no, that was. Maybe I'm thinking of Creed. He didn't direct some of the Creeds.

[Bridget]

They kept casting secret for roughly six months. But when Coogler said he's known for months that it. He wanted it to be.

[Ria]

To be okay.

[Noah]

Never mind. He directed.

[Bridget]

Yeah. I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure he did all wanted it to be. David Kevin Feige revealed the cooler discovered Johnson months before any formal search began. He called him after a secret hotel meeting with the actor and said, he's the guy. He's the guy. I felt it. I felt it in my soul. He's a good man and he is the next Black Panther. I mean, you're not going against that. Like, you. You're getting that call from Ryan Coogler. He's like, this is the guy. Yeah. Then that's the guy.

[Ria]

Right. He felt it in his soul then, you know that it has to be.

[Bridget]

He was also in Alien Romulus with people, which people really liked him in.

[Noah]

He's been. He's been in a bunch of stuff. I don't know if you ever watched Rylane. That's like a great rom com he was in. I just watched this year Waste man, which is that jail movie that I was talking about. He was like, really good in that. Yeah, he's a good actor.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Bridget]

So I'm excited for him and excited for that because those movies are so good and Ryan Coogler did such a great job with them and obviously losing Chadwick Boseman is so sad. Getting to like, continue the story is great. So those are like the two big, two big announcements because, like, you know, the rest of them are all still doing so much press because the new Spider man comes out the end of this week.

[Ria]

Did you see there? But did you see Zendaya say that people should bring tissues?

[Bridget]

Oh, did she got.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bridget]

She had texted me and was like, do you want to go see it this week? And I said, I. I was like, you're. I. I was like, can you wait for me? The odds. She waits for me are.

[Noah]

So should we all go see it in Palm Springs?

[Bridget]

Yeah, I'm sure that's what everybody wants to do.

[Ria]

You got. You guys can go.

[Bridget]

I still need to see the Odyssey. You see? You seen it twice. You went again?

[Noah]

I saw it again, yeah.

[Ria]

When did you go again?

[Noah]

Saturday night.

[Ria]

Are you waiting because you specifically want to see it in imax?

[Bridget]

I was really trying to, but I think I got to give up on that dream.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Because every serious about that dream, you could make it happen.

[Bridget]

No, I. Every night last week I was refreshing. My app wasn't working. I was redownloading the app. I was on my computer. I was trying to get. I was trying to get it to see if anything popped up last minute. For this, there's like a 6 o' clock and a 10 o' clock and for each one I'd be like at like 605-6-10, like 10:05. I'm still looking. Nothing. Nothing.

[Noah]

I did see, like, I was just checking out a curiosity yesterday and there was like one ticket in the back row and I'm like, like, I'm not in the city.

[Bridget]

They're.

[Noah]

They're taking that.

[Bridget]

They're being like resold. They're like on the. It's like the resale market to get a imax.

[Ria]

This is crazy IMAX ticket to this. You got to go see it. You got to see it.

[Noah]

Honestly. Well, we talk about.

[Bridget]

I just have to go. I just have to go see it. I think regardless of, of if I can see it in IMAX or not. But you know, the whole time I'm going to be, I'm going to be

[Noah]

thinking, no, but here's the thing.

[Bridget]

I saw much is being cut off.

[Noah]

I saw it when I saw it this weekend on the Cape. They don't have imax. So I just saw it in a normal theater. Like.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And it was still like, amazing.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Obviously, like, there are parts where I'm like, oh, this doesn't hit as Hard.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Noah]

On the screen.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Fair.

[Bridget]

Okay. I might just have to get. I might just have, like, dump my IMAX dream.

[Noah]

You also, like, you can get to an IMAX. You just can't get to the IMAX 70 millimeter. Like, there are plenty of IMAXes and.

[Bridget]

Yes, correct. Like, I could go to the kids bay. IMAX is so fine. But it's half this. The screens, half the size.

[Noah]

No, I know, but it's not like, like, this weekend, I saw it on, like, the most standard screen you could see it on. Like, you could still see it on

[Bridget]

a pretty big screen you can still see it on. Yeah, that's true. Even those ones have been consistently sold out, though. My local movie theater is definitely smaller. My smaller amc, but they've had tickets open, so I might just have to. I might just have to go see it.

[Ria]

Yeah. Because how much longer can you weigh with everyone talking about it?

[Bridget]

I know. I know you know, and I. Yeah. And it's. I'm out of the discourse, which is not right.

[Ria]

You want to get inside that discourse.

[Bridget]

I want to be able to.

[Noah]

Oh, like. Like, have you seen that Robert Pattinson meme? And you probably are like, I. I don't feel like, involved. Have you not.

[Bridget]

Which meme? There's been a million memes of him.

[Noah]

No, I mean, there's one that is.

[Bridget]

Oh, is it from the movie?

[Noah]

From the movie. It's like super viral.

[Bridget]

Like, no, that I had.

[Noah]

It's being used. Like, my entire feed is just that same video over and over and over.

[Bridget]

Oh, no, I haven't seen it, to be honest. I haven't. I try and not click on things.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

Okay, Well, I might just have to

[Ria]

give up on that.

[Bridget]

But I will also be seeing Spider man, too. I'm excited about that. And I'll pack my tissues. You have to pack your tissues.

[Ria]

She said, we'll see what happens.

[Noah]

Those issues are probably because he doesn't. She doesn't remember him, right?

[Ria]

No. People are predicting a death.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Noah]

You need a death. That's my main thing with Marvel. It's like, you need a. You can't just. Everyone just can't live happily ever after all the time, you know, or be brought back from the dead.

[Bridget]

Well, you know what? It's a movie, and sometimes you do want everybody to be happy and live

[Noah]

happily ever after, but then nothing hits.

[Bridget]

Like, I don't need my movies to be like, I wish that was more realistic.

[Noah]

No, like, but. But when Andrew. When Emma Stone dies and. And the Ms. Andrew Garfield Spider man, that's like, that's a moment, you know?

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And then that hit hard when they did when he came back and Andrew Garfield's like, hold on to her. You know, that type of thing.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

So true. So true. Emotion. It draws emotion.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah, it does.

[Bridget]

Fair.

[Ria]

All right, that wraps up the topics, and let's get into the weekly watch report. I'm so excited because I got a couple of packs of outshine frozen fruit bars in my freezer, and I'm gonna enjoy one today. I got some pineapple ones that I've been loving. And as the number one frozen fruit bar brand in America, Alshine fruit bars and mini fruit pops are made with fruit. Real, real fruit or juice, and simple ingredients you can pronounce. Every bite tastes like biting into a ripe piece of fruits. Juicy, refreshing, and bursting with flavor. It's a bright, vibrant experience that brings a moment of joy in every single bar. Oh, my gosh. I have been loving my outshine fruit bar. They are so, so good. They taste so refreshing. They're so delicious. I'm dreaming about having my little snack later as it's in the freezer waiting for me. And there's real fruit or fruit juice in and a good source of vitamin C in every fruit bar. There's no GMO ingredient ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup, and no artificial colors or flavors. And I know I mentioned the pineapple, but the flavor lineup is stacked. They got strawberry, mango, coconut, watermelon, cherry, you name it. There's something for whatever you're craving. And they also have the classic fruit bars, the mini fruit pops, and even fruit blends that swirl multiple flavors together. They're so good. It makes it easy to experience the joy of fruit with no cutting, no mess. You just grab an outshine fruit bar and enjoy. Outshine it is snacking that is made easy. You can find outshine fruit bars at retailers nationwide. All right, let's get into the weekly watch report. We talk about the things we watch this week. Weekly watch report on Monday. Weekly Watch report on Monday. Weekly watch report on Monday. Weekly watch report on Monday. So I just watched basically a bunch of my favorite movies that I haven't seen in a while. So that's kind of just what I have to go off of. We'll start with Stick it, which is really just. By the way, these are all movies I have seen, but most of these Matt has not seen besides one of them or two of them. So stick it he has not seen. And I was like, this one, it's just. Just buckle Up. Just buckle up.

[Bridget]

That's such a good one.

[Ria]

And my goodness, it hits even harder than it did years ago. Like, that is a solid a movie.

[Bridget]

Joe loves that movie too.

[Ria]

Stick. It is a solid a movie. It's got heart, it's got determination, it's funny. There's some great one liners in there. That is a solid a movie. It really hit hard.

[Bridget]

So good.

[Ria]

And by the way, I want this on the thing to say, these are all rewatches, but I am going to grade each of them because I haven't graded them. Back in the day when I watched the next one, the Girl Next Door, one of my favorites. A classic in my mind. Too many people haven't seen this movie. In my opinion, it's Emile Hirsch, Alicia Cuthbert. Cuthbert. Maybe I'm not pronouncing it right. Yeah, it's a. It's a classic teenage rom com. You know, innocent boy falls in love with the girl next door. Turns out she's a. She's a porn star trying to escape her past. But this one also has heart.

[Bridget]

I don't think I've seen this.

[Ria]

It's one of my favorites.

[Noah]

So good.

[Ria]

It's. It's a great movie. It's funny. It's cute. Like, you hear porn star, you think, oh, how could this money, this movie be like, cute? It is very cute.

[Bridget]

This is.

[Ria]

This is an a minus for me. Love this movie still holds up. Haven't watched it in a while and I just love it. Sleepover. This we kind of threw on during, like it was like a midday nap on Saturday. I said, all right, let's throw Sleepover on. Sleepover is a classic. But I will say this. It did not hit as hard as the first two did. Rewatching it back now, it's a little more immature. Yeah. It's that nostalgic feeling when you were younger and you loved it. Yeah. But it's definitely at this age. Doesn't hold up in the same way that I think Stick it and the Girl Next Door do. Well, the Girl Next Door is. Involves a porn star in porn. So that is not a movie that like.

[Bridget]

Yeah, they're too. They're all different movies. Even Stick it was made for like we were older when Stick it came out.

[Ria]

Yeah. But I think Stick it and Sleepover kind of came out.

[Bridget]

Really?

[Ria]

Let's see.

[Bridget]

I think of Stick it as like 2007.

[Ria]

Stick it came out in 2006. Okay.

[Bridget]

Sleepover was what, like 2004?

[Ria]

Yeah. So sleepover was 2004. I think it was 2006. So not too far apart.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Not that far. Sleepover gets a B from me. Like, the nostalgia's there and I loved it when I was younger. Yeah.

[Bridget]

Shout out, Yancey.

[Ria]

Yes. The Duff. The Duff is a classic to me. Always hits.

[Bridget]

I think one of my favorites.

[Ria]

The Duff is a B plus. Love the Duff.

[Bridget]

Yeah, The Duff is one that I had purchased on my itunes.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

I think the Duff was, like, downloaded on my computer to play it at a moment's notice.

[Noah]

Right.

[Ria]

And that came out way later. Like, way later. Like 2015 maybe.

[Bridget]

Yeah, way later.

[Ria]

When did that come out? The Duff was in High School. 2015. It came out.

[Bridget]

Oh, no. Oh, way later.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah, 2015. That one hits the spot. That is a B for me. Couples retreat.

[Bridget]

You are flying through them.

[Ria]

Yeah. We really did nothing on Sunday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So couples retreat. This is, you know, one of my favorites. Always non stop laughs. Can't believe it has such a low score when you watch it through the lens. I actually saw a TikTok that was so fucking funny about this. And it was like, white people love when they find out a movie was improvised or a scene from a TV show was improvised. And that is absolutely correct.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Because when I watch this movie, I'm like, I can't believe they improvised most of this. Like, I'm always impressed. Yeah. It always gets me. Couples Retreat. To me. Here's the thing. I enjoyed Stick it more than I enjoyed Couples Retreat, but maybe it's because I haven't seen Stick it in so long. And Couples Retreat is a much more often of a watch for me.

[Bridget]

Just based on rewatch value alone, it should be pretty high for you. You know, like, the amount of times that you do go back and watch it. It.

[Ria]

Yeah, I'm gonna put.

[Bridget]

I have seen it.

[Ria]

I'm gonna put Couples Retreat as a minus for me.

[Bridget]

That's fair.

[Ria]

And then the last one, we did a complete tone switch up. The River Wild. The River Wild, to me, is a great movie. It's Meryl Streep, Kevin Bacon, John C. Reilly. It came out, I want to say 1980s. See, I'm gonna check the date on that. The River Wild movie came out 1994. Okay, sorry. 1994 came out.

[Bridget]

They.

[Ria]

I didn't know this. They remade this movie with Adam Brody and Leighton Meester a couple years ago. 2023. Had no idea it went straight to, like, streaming. Didn't know. Haven't seen it. I probably don't plan on watching it because I think this one is Is good as is. I don't need to watch the remake of it. Meryl Streep was nominated for a Golden Globe and sag, I think for this role. This is a great movie. To me, this is it. This is an A movie. I think the River Wild is so good. It's like a thriller. Less, probably less scary than a thriller, really. You know what I mean? Like, it's like adventure. An adventure thriller maybe, but, you know, it's not super. It's not like scary in any way, in my opinion. But there is thrill to it. Matt had never seen this and this. When I saw this when I was younger, I always said that this was one of my favorite movies. And so I brought it up to Noah, actually, like two weeks ago, which reminded me that I hadn't watched it in a while. And so I was like, you know what? We're gonna end the night on the River Wild. Complete tonal switch. And it lived up. It was great. I'd recommend the River Wild if anyone.

[Bridget]

Have you seen it, Noah?

[Noah]

No, I never had.

[Bridget]

Neither have I.

[Ria]

3. I mean, great actors.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah. And I think Meryl Streep is fantastic in this role.

[Bridget]

I haven't seen enough of her early work.

[Noah]

Yeah, she's by the way, all the time.

[Ria]

To me, she's just like goals in this movie.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Like she arm goals. Like she's fudgeing ripped in this movie. And she is just so cool in it. Yeah. Would recommend if anyone hasn't seen it. And that's everything I watched. So it was a good movie weekend.

[Bridget]

Okay. What did I watch? We finished Widow's Bay. Fantastic. The second half lived up to it. The second half of Widow's Bay I thought was so good. Definitely was a little slower for me to get into the be the beginning. But then, like, once it has its footing more to me in the end, there's a lot more just action and things happening and. And mystery and the acting is fantastic. The characters are fantastic.

[Noah]

Like that one scene where she's going over, like, the whole history of like,

[Bridget]

oh, it's so good.

[Noah]

It's the funniest thing ever.

[Bridget]

That was amazing. Yeah, that was amazing. I also love the whole episode of the, like, quote unquote, Boogeyman coming back. But it's like she's just. He's moving slow. She's moving slow. The back and forth. People are trying to help him. It's just. There's a lot of really interesting, funny comedic elements into an otherwise spooky show. But it was really, really good. So I. I think that ends up being an A for me. I'm glad I finished it. And it was well worth it. Thought it was like, it's almost worth already, like, a rewatch. Just because I feel like there's a lot of things that are happening that are missed in a first watch with a show like that. But so good.

[Ria]

I.

[Bridget]

The Love Island UK finale is tonight in the uk, so I'm sure that will be out and about whatever I think, you know. So that means on Hulu, it's probably Wednesday or Thursday, but I'm gonna try and finish it all. I just watched. Great, great concept. They did, like. And I couldn't tell if it was. This could sound stupid, but I couldn't tell if it was real or not real. They were joking that, like, Maya Jama starting a podcast, like, not another podcast. And they were joking and they had all the contestants. They were like, oh, you're going on your first podcast. Like, they. And they all. Each couple sat down with Maya and did, like, a podcast.

[Ria]

Oh, that's so funny.

[Bridget]

And then they all had to sit and watch what they were all saying about each other, which has caused some interesting conversation because there's just one. One couple here at the end that's getting a lot of. That's getting a lot of flack. And there's just been a lot of discourse about some of these girls and certain couples. And I've kind of had, like, sort of an opposite opinion on a lot of what I've been seeing. Like, I do like Lorenzo a lot, just as, like, a person in a couple. I think he'd be terrible. Like, he's not. He doesn't want a girlfriend at all. But Yulia, like, has a lot to say. And I'm fine with, like, her having her opinion, but she can be kind of a jerk. And, like, the consensus that I'm seeing is most people being like, yeah, she's saying what we're all thinking, like, blah, blah, blah. But, like, she's kind of being an asshole about it sometimes in the villa. And then I know I'm repeating myself again, but I just feel like there's a lot of criticism towards Mika when I don't see it as much. And I feel like Mika has made mistakes, but has acknowledged when she's made mistakes and, like, has apologized for it, which is very different than some of the other girls when they say something and then kind of, like, double down or don't really apologize for it. Like, she's done. Things have been like, yeah, I Handled that the wrong way. I'm sorry. Like, I shouldn't have done. I shouldn't have said that or I shouldn't have done that, which I think is better than, you know, really doubling down on some of the things that were said or talked about, whatever. And she's. She was. She's been getting crushed, which is. Which is tough.

[Noah]

And

[Bridget]

I know who's in the, Like, I don't know. I have a feeling that Lorenzo is going to win, like, literally, just as a person. Like, I think they would. I think it feels like the UK would have voted for him regardless of who he was with. He could have been single, and they'd be like, he's winning. Like, he's been consistently the favorite boy, all these things. So I could see that happening, which would be kind of wild, because I do not see them lasting on the outside. There's really only a couple I feel like, that I could see on the outside. Like, I feel like Yasmin and Tommy have a good relationship. Although it's come out, I, I suppose on social media that Tommy had a girlfriend, like, two weeks before coming onto the show.

[Ria]

There's always going to be somebody on the cast that does this, which there's

[Bridget]

always that or whatever. And I guess maybe it's like, oh, they were together and then he sort of broke up with her to when the opportunity came up, or yada, yada. And I'm like, well, I feel like that does. That does happen. And Jazz and Cav, I think, are just gonna have a ton of issues when they get out there. Like, I, I, they're cute, but I just. I don't know. I think. I don't know.

[Ria]

I don't.

[Bridget]

I don't know how their lives are gonna work together. Which was a lot of their. The other islanders thoughts about just their lifestyle, their age difference, things like that. So I guess we'll. We'll see who wins. But it's been good the last, you know, the last, like, week or so of the. Of the season. I'll give it a. A minus. The in the City reunion, part one, I'll give a B. Minus is good, Good back and forth. I think Kenny and Lindsay have, like, a good sort of quasi rivalry situation going on right now. Like, you need some tension. It was funny just seeing them all in the clubhouse, just because normally they do new shows. Reunions happen in the clubhouse. But it was interesting seeing, you know, Kyle, Amanda, Lindsay, like, all people that have our Bravo veterans be put back in this, like, intro position sort of. I Love, Lindsay. I think sometimes it's just like, trying a little too hard for there to be conflict. I know she really wants this show to succeed, so it's like really sometimes over the. Over the top thoughts, which is fine. But she's been fighting with Whitney over some things that Whitney said about her, and I could totally understand her being upset. They were, you know, out of pocket comments. But Lindsay was like, I've been crying every day. Like, it's like, okay, I. I know it was. Nah, it was nasty what she said. But it's not like we're taking it a little too. A little too far. I started the new season of Next Gen. I've only just started. I only watched one episode, but I am. I'm honestly excited to get back into it. There's a good mix now. I feel like I'm familiar with all the. With all the people. There's breakups, there's drama. There's stuff happening online now that the show's been out in the discourse. I'll give that a B minus as well. Just episode one. C plus. Episode one. Just because it's starting and I feel like it's has room to. To get better. I did finish. I did finish your fault London because I fell asleep watching it last week.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

So I was like, oh, I should finish this. Just an absurd movie, absurd premise, absurd ending. They really left you on a cliffhanger. Me Googling immediately. I'm like, is there another one? There is.

[Ria]

Don't worry.

[Bridget]

Smart. Now there's my fault London. There's your fault London. And the last one is our fault London.

[Ria]

Ooh.

[Bridget]

Which I guess they finished already. I don't know if they filmed them all the same time, like one of those situations or not, but that is out. It said they already finished it. There was. They didn't have a release date. I didn't realize that the main guy is the guy from the Buccaneers. And they look so different, but it's the same guys, just like, different hair, which has been interesting. And I'm really been like, when does this new season of the Buccaneers come out? Also, I just googled the Buccaneers new season and I got the schedule for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

[Ria]

No new season.

[Bridget]

Yeah, the Buccaneers new season. It was like, here's when it starts. No, I want. When is the buccaneers on Apple TV coming back? Is that it? Wait for a third season. Oh, oh, oh. Filming for season three got underway in February 2026. Ugh. This is forever. Gonna take forever. Official release did not been announced, but new episodes late 2027 or early 2028?

[Ria]

Oh, wow. Oh, wow.

[Bridget]

I mean, that is way too. What? Season two came out. Season two was out last summer, Aug. Like July of 2025. You're gonna tell me it's gonna take two to three years for a new season? That's too much.

[Ria]

Yeah. That's a long time.

[Bridget]

It should be summer of 2027. If anything. Two years could be. All right. I could. I could understand that. Paul Wesley has joined the cast for season three.

[Ria]

He's kind of like in a lot of things lately. I feel like.

[Bridget]

Yeah, he's been popping off. I did watch him on Call Her Daddy was enjoyable. He gave me a. He gave me a good. A good chuckle because he's got this. He's doing the new show with Nina Dobrev again. But let's. Oh, so I guess I gotta grade. Your fault, London. Nutty end of this movie. It really has the same vibes as the. The after movies.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Bridget]

You know, where it's like people are getting beat up and knocked out and all these things.

[Ria]

It does have a very similar vibe.

[Bridget]

Yeah. Realistically, this movie is a like D plus, but it's one of those rides. So you're just like, I'm on. I'm along for the ride.

[Ria]

Right.

[Bridget]

Like, I. I keep watching them, you know. Yeah, that and I'm pretty sure. Oh, and I watched episode six of House of Dragon. House the Dragon, the new one that was Sunday night. Felt like more of a. Of a setup episode because now there's only two left in this season. Seven and eight. Before the last season, which is season four, we said goodbye to. To a big character. Big. Which was. Which was a big one. Sometimes people just go on the show and you're like, damn, that's it. Huh? Like, that's. You're like, that's the way. That's the way this guy's gonna go. But he did. I'll give this episode a B. It was good, but it was definitely. It was. It was like such an episode. Six of eight episodes.

[Ria]

You.

[Bridget]

You know.

[Ria]

You know the type build up and.

[Bridget]

Yeah. Where it's like.

[Ria]

Like you finally find out the thing.

[Bridget]

Yeah. Like things are being put together together before hits the fan in. In seven. There's like the pieces are all moving around and then that is it. That's everything I watched.

[Noah]

Okay. I basically.

[Bridget]

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. I forgot because I got called out for it last week. People were like, you're not watching Dancing with the Stars X Pro. I am. There's two episodes It's a little tricky because the new episodes come out on Mondays or Tuesdays. Mondays or Tuesdays. I think it might be on ABC on Monday and then on Hulu on Tuesday. So I've been watching, like, early in the week, and then by the time the next Monday comes around, I forget, I. I'm a little iffy on it. There's just like. I don't know if it's, like, the production of it or what, because it feels like a tad low budge. But at the same time, I think it's because they filmed. I think they filmed in Australia.

[Ria]

Yes, I think so too.

[Noah]

Right.

[Ria]

For Robert Irwin.

[Bridget]

Yeah. So it just has a different feel because it's like they. They do the B roll of, like, LA and the studio and whatever, and then it's like. Well, actually, they're not there. They're in Australia. And it's just an interesting dynamic with the people, because some are dancers we don't know. Some are people that we're kind of familiar with, like Curtis from Love Island. His brother aj, who was on. He was already a pro on Strictly. So that's just like, an interesting dynamic because now he's, like, competing to be a pro on Dis with the Stars, but it's a job he's already done, which has caused some interesting commentary just on him. Like, maybe he thinks he's better than everybody already kind of thing.

[Ria]

Right.

[Bridget]

Ezra's sister's on it. She's so lovely. Yes, she's great. She's a fantastic dancer. She was a part of the troupe, but there wasn't asked back. So it's like. So you're. There's people that are sort of in the. In the. Around the orbit of Dancing with the Stars, and then there's some that aren't. But it's just weird because it, like, goes kind of fast. It's like, oh, here's a. Here's a pro. Here's the dance that everybody's doing this week. You kind of see a little bit of practice, but we haven't learned much too much, really, about, like, the people, per se, because the. Right now there's still a lot of them left. So it's like, in order to get all the. In order to get all the dances in, in the hour, it sort of moves really fast, and then it's like, gets to the end, and then they're like, all right, this person wasn't good. You're being sent home. So I wonder when it gets down to smaller, like, a smaller amount of people you'll get to know more, more in depth about them. But it's such a hard, I think it's just made me realize how hard, even more difficult it is to be a pro on this show because you need to be an amazing dancer right off the bat. And watching some of these dances, I'm like, I don't know if these are hitting as well as the, as the pros are already on the show and you have to have the, the charisma, the personality, and you have to be able to teach, you have to be a good teacher, which is, that is a big part of it is like you could be an amazing dancer, but if you can't teach someone who's never danced before to learn how to dance, like, you're shit out of luck. So that's a very interesting dynamic with it all because right now I feel like I'm watching just like a dance competition show, which is fine. But will that translate to actually being a good pro? I don't know. Maybe there's more coming up. Like, I would, I would send these people to like a, to like a dance class full of nine year olds and, and try and teach them,

[Ria]

like

[Bridget]

have to corral like a group of children for a week and see how it goes. But I, you know, it's easy, it's a, it's quick. It's not like it's such a summer reality program. I'll give it a, I'll give it a C. It's like it's, I'm watching it, I'm, I'm enjoying it. But it's like that's fair middle of the ground right now. And yeah, that's everything. Sorry, Noah. Now you may go. Nair is the award winning number one hair removal brand. You can discover all of their sensational fragrances and feel that silky smooth skin for days longer than shaving. Shaving can be so annoying. It's such a pain. You got to remember to pack your razor. You got to do all these things. Hair comes back quickly.

[Noah]

Well, I basically have exactly what I've had for what feels like the last couple of months. I just have Mad Men.

[Bridget]

Mad Men.

[Noah]

I am now in the final season.

[Bridget]

Oh, you're flying through it.

[Noah]

I really. It's all I'm watching. So I have, like, 12 more episodes, I think. Or maybe 12 or 13.

[Bridget]

You put a big dent in that. Weren't you, like, four seasons behind, like, last week?

[Noah]

I was. I've basically been watching a season a week for the past couple weeks, so I'll give that an A minus. Yeah, I guess I'm excited to see where. Where it ends at this point, but a lot has happened, and a lot. It's very different. Like, characters are spread out, but it's. It is just one of the more interesting things about the show is because it's, like, it started it in the early 1960s, and now it's, like, 1970 or whatever. So everyone, like, has sideburns now and, like. And it's very.

[Ria]

They're growing up.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

Adjusting to the times.

[Noah]

Yeah. Actually, it is funny. Like, I was talking to my friends about, I'm going to Palm Springs this weekend. There's, like, a famous. Jon Hamm goes to Palm Springs, like, multiple times during the show, and he's always wearing, like, a suit and, like, that, like, famous hat. And I'm like, this is gonna be me. You do recreate it, but I'll give that an A minus. And then. Yeah, I saw the Odyssey again, this time on a normal screen. What? My parents. And. Yeah, I can't say just as good. Because it's not just as good. Like, I don't want to sound like that pretentious person who's like.

[Bridget]

I think for the most you can say it, it's. I think it's not pretentious to say it's. It's at its best in imax. Like, that's not a crazy take.

[Noah]

Scientific fact that it's at its best.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Noah]

In that form. But I would say that, like, there are a lot of parts during the movie where, like, you're not thinking about it. I mean, I kind of would cross my mind being like, oh, I guess I'd see more of, like, Anne Hathaway's face right now if I was in a bigger screen. But it's really about, like, the bigger scenes where there's, like, a. Like, this cyclops when you see it on, like, a giant 90, 100 foot screen. It feels like, oh my God. Like, and you see the full length of everything and when you see it in like a normal screen, it doesn't have that. It's still an amazing scene, but it doesn't have that same effect.

[Bridget]

I'm going to keep refreshing my AMC app.

[Noah]

Even the sound too. Like, like in, in the Lincoln Square One. Like, it felt like you were going to die. Like with them, like a lot of times and. But it would still. Like, it's still an incredible movie. Like, it's still an A for me. And honestly, like, I will be checking the times for tonight's IMAX 70 millimeter and if there are tickets available, I will be going.

[Ria]

I will.

[Noah]

I want to see it in IMAX 70 again. But I want, I do, I do want to see it in a. Farther back.

[Bridget]

You've listened to me talk about how I want to go and can't get a ticket. But if a ticket were to pop up, you would go again for the third time instead of saying, hey, Fran, you should take this ticket.

[Noah]

But the thing is, it's like if it's, if it's 10, 15. And I say, oh, I just. Ticket popped up last night.

[Bridget]

I can be at that theater in 10 minutes.

[Noah]

That's a tough one, Fran. I don't know.

[Bridget]

You're gonna see it for a third time.

[Noah]

I want to see.

[Bridget]

I'm fighting out here for a ticket.

[Noah]

I want to see it in IMAX 70. But I, I want. Now I'm getting greedy because clearly last week. Well, no, last week I was trying to see it again for a second time and I'd see like some tickets pop up, but they were in the first, like four rows. And I'm like, no, now I want to like, but what better seat?

[Ria]

Now, friend, if you went up and

[Bridget]

you weren't telling me, but wouldn't it

[Ria]

pop up for you if you're watching it the same way he is, like, wouldn't the same tickets pop up for both of you?

[Bridget]

But we're fighting for the same ticket,

[Noah]

but it's not just us.

[Bridget]

And then I could put it in the cart and then Noah could be

[Ria]

like, I got it.

[Bridget]

And I'd be like, fuck.

[Noah]

It's not just. That's like it. And by the way, there is no world where I could even. I don't even have enough time to click the amount of times that I've clicked a ticket that's open, say, check out and it goes. It was already taken by someone. Like, you have you have two seconds maybe to, like, grab those when they pop up.

[Bridget]

So, like, I know you're.

[Ria]

You're.

[Bridget]

You're joining the number of my ops.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah. But I also don't think you. I don't think you would go see it at. You're gonna go see The Odyssey at 10:30 tonight.

[Bridget]

If I had a seat, I would go, yes.

[Noah]

By yourself?

[Bridget]

Yes.

[Noah]

All right, well, maybe at this point,

[Bridget]

I'm dying to see it. It's all anybody could talk about. I would absolutely go.

[Noah]

Yeah, listen, I. I tried the other week to get tickets, like, the same way that just happened to work out the first time. And I refreshed it so many times that I got. What's it called? Basically, like, AMC like, locked me out of that theater so I couldn't. And I don't know how they do it where I went.

[Bridget]

She probably thought you were like a bot.

[Noah]

No, they did, but I don't know how it works for you. I went on my laptop and it still said, you're blocked. I went on my phone. Wasn't signed in or anything, like. So you have to be like. You have to be on it, but you can't be too on it.

[Bridget]

Last week, the app just was not working for me halfway. That's what I kept trying to log into my account and it just kept saying error.

[Noah]

That's what I can't log into my account either. Yeah, I'm just trying to do it as a guest now. But yeah, also, I think. I don't know if it was yesterday. There's one. Maybe it might be this week. There's like, two days where they're doing like. Which I got for Sinners too. Oh, I have it right here. They do these, like, special, like, film strips that they give you, like, IMAX 70 meter film strips. I think they're doing that for this movie.

[Bridget]

Like, they're doing it this week.

[Noah]

I think I gotta check it. They were made.

[Bridget]

People want to go more.

[Noah]

I know.

[Ria]

All right, well.

[Noah]

But yeah, so, I mean, I hope

[Bridget]

I get to see it for the first time or you get to see

[Ria]

it for the third time next week

[Noah]

on the weekly watch for it. I saw the Odyssey three more times.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah, we'll see. Maybe. Maybe we'll both go. Maybe I'll wave to you from.

[Bridget]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe that would be ideal.

[Noah]

But that's. That's all I got. I'm just. Mad Men in the Odyssey.

[Bridget]

Mad Men in the Odyssey, Really? Lastly. Yeah, every week he's just watching Madman and going Mad Men and Going to

[Ria]

see the Odyssey in theaters.

[Noah]

Yeah. And that's. I. I'm excited to. I. I love the. I love Mad Men, but once it's over, I feel like there's a lot of other things I gotta catch up on, so.

[Ria]

Yeah. Wait, I'm confused. So this is IMAX 70 millimeter.

[Noah]

There's only one IMAC 70 millimeter, like,

[Bridget]

anywhere in this area.

[Noah]

Oh, Lincoln Square.

[Bridget]

We can't. It's. I gotta show you the Jeff D. Graph. You gotta see the grass.

[Noah]

I was showing my parents because the Lincoln Cent. The Lincoln Square Theater that we're talking about is the biggest screen in North America.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Like, by far. By a lot.

[Bridget]

It's so bigger than the one in la. Like, a lot.

[Noah]

Yeah, by a lot. Like Christopher Nolan sees. It's like when you walk in there, you're like, oh, my God.

[Bridget]

Like, yeah, it's like you can go see it in imax, but it's not as big.

[Noah]

Like. Yeah, a normal imax.

[Bridget]

It's.

[Ria]

So most people are seeing it in. Not this.

[Bridget]

Correct.

[Noah]

That's been like. The big conversation about this movie is

[Bridget]

like, there's like 10. There's like 10 giant IMAXes in the whole country. 20, I think it is.

[Ria]

Okay.

[Noah]

No, people are flying to New York. That's what. That's who are competing is people are flying to New York to see it at this theater.

[Bridget]

Yeah.

[Noah]

When you see it in this movie, you have to take, like, four escalators up because the screen is as high as the entire building.

[Ria]

Wow.

[Noah]

But it's worth it. That's the thing.

[Bridget]

I gotta find.

[Ria]

You think, Jeff?

[Bridget]

I gotta find maybe. Here it is. Here it is. Jeff. Jeff D. Puts it out all the time.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

Now, see the.

[Noah]

The blue.

[Bridget]

See the big blue square on the outside?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

That's Lincoln Square.

[Ria]

Everything else is what I saw this week. Didn't we see that for Avengers?

[Bridget]

Yes, we did go to imax. Yeah, we went to Lincoln Square.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Bridget]

Universal Cinema, the CityWalk, Hollywood. And that's the green. Like, look how much bigger.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

New York. Lincoln Square is then the one in west and the one in, you know, right there in Hollywood. You saw it in Standard. Noah saw it all the way down here.

[Noah]

I know. I was showing my parents. I was like.

[Bridget]

In the little polka dot.

[Noah]

I know, it's crazy.

[Bridget]

That's what I'm saying. I keep looking at this. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna go to. You know, the 34th street one is not as bad. I suppose it's still a big screen. No, but nothing competes.

[Noah]

I don't. There's something about the exclusivity of this where it's a hundred.

[Bridget]

It's 100ft.

[Noah]

The movie itself is incredible. And. And that's really why I want to see it.

[Bridget]

Count your blessings that you got to see it once in theater. Noah, people are dying over this. That's.

[Noah]

That's also. Is what I was gonna say is part of the reason why I think I really want to go. It's like being like, I got it ticket. I stopped twice. It's a game to me. It's like I get to say, like, it's just something. It's just bragging rights.

[Bridget]

And by the way, I blame Jeff anyway, because he keeps putting it out and saying, like, he tweeted. The IMAX screen at Lickin center and NYC is literally worth traveling cross country to see. No joke. Well, Jeff, stop telling everybody to come.

[Noah]

Yeah, I think Jeff. I don't even think Jeff's making a dentist. I think it's.

[Bridget]

Now everybody's seen people are saying, like,

[Noah]

it's gonna be one of those movies where, like, they're gonna put it back in theaters. By the way, this is a separate note. Like. Like, once it's out of theaters, it's gonna come back, like, periodically, because it's one of those things. La La Land is gonna be back in theaters in two weeks. Ria, you should go see it for the 10 year anniversary.

[Ria]

Oh, let's see if I can make some time in my schedule.

[Bridget]

Well, did you see they fixed his hand in the poster?

[Ria]

I didn't like that. I didn't like that either.

[Noah]

Is that like. Is that like. That's not real, obviously.

[Bridget]

So I know they just, like, they artificially fixed it because Ryan Gosling has always said that he hated that his hand was in the, you know, in that position on the poster. It wasn't properly, properly out. And then they changed it and I want.

[Ria]

That's like the beauty of it, you know?

[Bridget]

Yeah, that's what makes it authentic.

[Ria]

Yeah, I don't like that because then,

[Noah]

like, what are we gonna do? Like, we're gonna, like, change this. His acting in the movie too, because he didn't like how he said that one line, like, just, you know. Yeah, I'm definitely gonna see that in theaters. That when it comes out in a couple weeks, we could all go.

[Bridget]

Yeah, they're also. I think they're putting Harry Potter out. Back out in a lot of theaters too. Yeah, they'll put the Odyssey back out in imax. Right. Realistically it's like they've had to fight over what was going to be an imax because realistically, like, you would think Spider man would end up being an imax.

[Ria]

And it's.

[Bridget]

And it's not because of the Odyssey or not all of them, I guess. I don't know what the whole distribution deal is, but he, Christopher Nolan could have had this, the Odyssey in. In IMAX till. Till December. People are gonna be.

[Noah]

You're not a Dune person, right?

[Bridget]

Dune? No, I am.

[Noah]

Oh, you are?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

So what are you gonna see on one? What are you gonna see first? June or Avengers?

[Bridget]

I probably would see the same day.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

Back to back. No, Dune.

[Noah]

Dune has the imax, but it's the same day.

[Bridget]

I. Solely because I think I'm more prone to seeing doomsday spoilers. I would see that first and then Dune because I. That, like, that is not as much coming across my desk. Thank you. The doomsday stuff would. I feel like that's something I'd want to see just so it doesn't get spoiled for me because I'm sure that'll happen pretty quickly and then. And then see you Dune.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Bridget]

Yeah, that's it.

[Noah]

That's all I got.

[Ria]

All right, well, I'm rooting for you guys. Maybe you guys will see it tonight.

[Bridget]

Thanks. Thanks.

[Ria]

All right, that wraps up the weekly Watch report. That wraps up today's episode of Chicks in the Office. Thank you so much for watching and listening. We love you guys so much. Watch. We'll talk to you on Wednesday.

[Noah]

Yeah, Chicks in the Office. Long time listener, first time caller. Look at the charts. Who does it the best two chicks getting paid in reality checks. You can find them at the gym it's not even a flex Last minute red carpet flew them out on the jet. Yeah, they're who you want to be. They're always on your screen. Two queens and they might be special feeling royalty. A lot of topics that are popping

[Ria]

here to get into.

[Noah]

I know a show that you probably want to listen to. Turn the heat up Turn the beat

[Ria]

up record the pod made a bag put their feet up the ones that leave no crumbs when they clean up who's the pod that they all want to meet up?

[Bridget]

Who turned the heat up?

[Ria]

Turn the beat up record the pod made a bag put their feet up

[Noah]

the ones that leave no crumbs when

[Ria]

they clean up who's the pot that they all want to meet up?
