Main Topics & Key Insights

1. Lady Gaga Concert & VMAs Preparation

[02:19 – 11:39]

• Lady Gaga’s MSG Show:

  • Ria describes the Saturday night concert as the “best concert I’ve ever been to,” with both marveling at the Broadway-level production and immersive storytelling.

    “It is a whole Broadway production... I really just had no words. Like, I was left speechless and my wrists were hurting from the amount of paws I was putting up.” - Ria [05:37]

  • Gaga pre-recorded her VMA performances during the concert, confusing some fans in the audience.
  • Lot of merch talk—the Chicks compare purchases, with Ria laughing about snatching up “three different shirts, [a] sweatshirt, [and] a tank top.”
  • Both praise Gaga’s ability to create community (“put your paws up!”) and the importance of seeing everything in an arena setting.

• Personal Weekend Recount:

  • Recaps on football’s return and events in Savannah, including gourmet meals, riding a mechanical bull (Noah’s misadventure), and wedding stories.
  • Observations on crowd mix (Jets game plus Gaga fans) and the energy in NYC.

2. VMA Awards Recap & Reactions

[35:44 – 52:03]

• Evolving Nature of Award Shows:

  • Fran notes a shift: “Now you watch the VMAs and... the best reaction they’re getting from the crowd is Frankie Grande,” highlighting a lack of A-listers compared to past years.

    “You don’t have Taylor Swift dancing in the front row.” – Fran [36:38]

  • Both poke fun at Frankie Grande’s perennial presence as “the ultimate Nepo sibling.” [37:33]
  • More note on the nostalgia of not recognizing newer artists—a generational shift is apparent.

• Performances & Highlights:

  • Praise for Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, Tate McRae (“the girlies...their performances were amazing”), and Ricky Martin’s energy.
  • Light roasting of Mariah Carey for “giving nothing” during her performance but acknowledging her hit catalog and iconic status.

    “Thank you for giving nothing during your performance. Honestly, I love Mariah because that seems to be par for the course.” – Ria [42:35]

  • Discussion of Ozzy Osbourne tribute by Youngblud—Ria skeptical about how much Youngblud emulates Ozzy (maybe a bit too much), but all agree he’s talented.
  • Express disappointment at the VMAs lacking flips and more dynamic acts:

    “There was a lack of flips at the VMAs...And I’ve been booning from the beginning. There is a movement happening on TikTok right now...” – Fran [47:23]

• Skepticism Towards Awards:

  • Chicks acknowledge, with humor, the transactional nature of award show appearances (“Lady Gaga was clearly paid to be there”).
  • Both say the awards themselves feel “fake” given only attending nominees seem to win.

  • Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski seen on a date.
  • Olivia Jade and Glen Powell out for dinner—with Lori Loughlin joining, raising eyebrows about the seriousness of the pairing.

4. Jonas Brothers Christmas Movie & Online Discourse

[61:17 – 67:39]

[72:07 – 97:44]

• 'The Summer I Turned Pretty’ E9 Recap:

  • Ria and Fran discuss the mixed fan response to the Paris-focused episode, particularly Belly’s new storyline and lack of satisfying closure for Conrad/Belly fans.

    “I think they really tried to put that emphasis for Jeremiah too...even in that phone call when she was like, ‘I think I need this for myself,’ he’s like, ‘Well, don’t ever call me again.’” - Fran [79:02]

  • Fran hopes for a satisfying series wrap but worries about rushed pacing.

• Watch Report Quick Hits:

Who's the pod that they all want to meet up?

[Fran]

What's up everyone?

[Ria]

It's chicks in the office with Ria and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Monday. Happy Monday, everybody. Put your motherfucking paws up, baby. Woo woo woo woo. Hi, my little monsters.

[Fran]

You're that the Gaga concert really has left a lasting effect on me.

[Ria]

Lasting effect. Yeah, seriously.

[Fran]

As it should. I Mean, it's an incredible show.

[Ria]

I mean, phenomenal. Yeah, like, best concert I've ever seen.

[Fran]

You went Saturday night?

[Ria]

Yeah, Saturday night we went and we got a little treat. She Pre recorded her VMAs performances during the show on Saturday, but before the show. So, like at around 8:30, she said to go on around 8:40, 8:45 usually. So 8:30, everyone hears the music. They're like, people are running. They're like, oh, my God, she's starting early. She does Abracadabra. And then she goes, put your paws up, mtv. And I guess not a lot of people heard that because then it ended. And then she started doing it again. And everyone, we were like, oh, she's running it back. And then she once again did.

[Fran]

I saw people on TikTok being like, she did it like five times. Yes.

[Ria]

No. Well, she did Abracadabra twice, and then she did the Dead Dance twice. Okay. Yeah. And in each one she said, put your paws up, mtv. People seem to have missed that, including my husband, because after the fourth performance, he said, does she stop in between each song? I said, fair. No, no, she was just doing her VMAs performances.

[Fran]

Yeah, the concert didn't start to figure out if you, like, don't. No, there's no disclaimer. Like there. You know, there was.

[Ria]

I think there was a disclaimer, but like, it was early on, so people missed it, like, coming to their seats. I did hear like, somebody say, I think she's doing a special performance. And I thought that meant like, during the show. But when she said, put your paws up, MTV. And then the VMAs tomorrow, we like, put two and two together. And he was right, stop. After each song, he was like, there's a little break in between. I was like, no, no, the concert hasn't even started yet, honey.

[Fran]

She may have. Not even a lot of people in the crowd probably didn't even know the VMAs were Sunday night. You know, like, it's. You're like, oh, yeah. Because granted, I don't think a lot of people who went to Lady Gaga's show on Sunday realized the VMAs because.

[Ria]

She went to the VMAs and then headed there. But just honestly, like an incredible.

[Fran]

Like, really, it's insane.

[Ria]

Just insane. It's not just a concert. Like, it is a whole Broadway production. Like, there is just so much happening from top to bottom. It tells a story. It's unbelievable. It really was the best concert I've ever been to.

[Fran]

Yeah. And that's what's so cool about her still doing the arenas? Cause, like, she could totally do stadiums, but the show is so, like, built for. She said it. She built it for arenas.

[Ria]

Right? You need to be able to see everything. Yeah, it's very important to be able to see everything.

[Fran]

Yep. It is. That it is. That it is. That it is. I don't even really want to talk about it because for multiple reasons, when we went, we had more of a side view. That's all said. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

Anyways, yes. I had a full view and it was fantastic. It was truly. I. I know I keep repeating myself, but, like, I really just had no words. Like, I was left speechless and my wrists were hurting from the amount of paws I was putting up. Like, I was just paused up the whole time, baby.

[Fran]

So is Gia. I mean, she tells you, paws up the whole show. When she's like, hands in the air, arms in the air.

[Ria]

When Gaga says, paws up, you put your paws up. And she said. She's like, put your paws up. And I'm like, yes, yes. Just letting it take control of my body. Um, I sat next to a lovely Chicks in the office listener, which was amazing because we were just like, how great is this? At one point in between the VMAs performances and the concert, the crowd broke out into the Wave, in which I thought, no, thanks. No, interesting. This is a Gaga concert, and I feel like we don't do the wave here.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You know what I mean?

[Fran]

I'm surprised by that. I wouldn't.

[Ria]

No.

[Fran]

And everyone was doing it.

[Ria]

Everyone was doing it.

[Fran]

Yeah. Well, you know, you don't want to. Once the Wave starts, it's like.

[Ria]

Right. But I. I just thought. I don't know if Stephanie would like this.

[Fran]

That's a good question. On one side, I would say no, but on one side, I would say yes.

[Ria]

Right. Like, on one side, she's probably like the wave at my show. And then the other side, she's like, well, that's really nice.

[Fran]

Everyone's like, look at everybody, like, having a good time. Yeah. I just was very camaraderie.

[Ria]

Right, right. Great camaraderie. But I was very thrown off by it.

[Fran]

I thought, for sure.

[Ria]

Isn't the time place for. Wait. Yes. Like, we gotta put our paws up. Like, we're not doing the wave. Right. So that threw me off.

[Fran]

That's fair.

[Ria]

And the lovely listener next to me felt the same exact.

[Fran]

Yeah, right, right.

[Ria]

She was like, what? Why is it? Who's starting the wave? Why is it happening?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Would Stephanie Approve of this.

[Fran]

I saw a lot of people out there that who went Saturday night. There's feel like there was a very popular night to go to the. Oh really Saw a lot. Yeah. Just like on. On my social media.

[Ria]

Oh, on your socials.

[Fran]

You know Alex are all was there.

[Ria]

Yeah I saw that and I saw Lady Gaga commented on her post and I was so mad.

[Fran]

You should have made a TikTok.

[Ria]

I know how awesome the Matt was. Like I was gonna make a TikTok after I said well you should have cuz Gaga maybe would have commented. And now we don't have that comment from Gaga. But that's okay. I don't need that to love her, you know.

[Fran]

No, no no no.

[Ria]

I bought so much merch.

[Fran]

Yeah, I did too.

[Ria]

Three different shirts. Sweatshirt, I got a tank top.

[Fran]

Did they have the gray mayhem ball one? Not that one. It was like kind of like cropped. Ish.

[Ria]

No, I didn't see that baggier shirt.

[Fran]

It was really cool and I wanted it really badly but it was sold. They were like when I went up they were like we have. We have it in extra extra extra large or something.

[Ria]

I was like oh damn. No. I don't know.

[Fran]

There was so much there she.

[Ria]

A lot of merch.

[Fran]

A lot of merch. And I did. I. I realized actually when I went home that I got the wrong sweatshirt. Like the sweatshirt I pointed to wasn't the sweatshirt I got which one I wanted just like the gray tour one.

[Ria]

Mm.

[Fran]

Which didn't have a lot on it. It was very more minimal.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But when I got home and opened my bag I was like oh shit. I actually got the. The perfect celebrity one.

[Ria]

I got the perfect celebrity one in black.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Oh but it was.

[Fran]

I thought maybe you were going to wear the sweatshirt today which is why I wore this. Cuz I almost put the perfect celebrity sweatshirt on. Oh, we would have both.

[Ria]

No, I wanted Gaga's face right on.

[Fran]

Yeah, I got that. I got the abracadabra T shirt too. I thought was I got.

[Ria]

Oh, very cool. Matt got a really. The one with like the sword and the skull. That one was really cool. Was like the. The reddish T shirt. But yeah, I got the perfect celebrity one. But I. I didn't realize after I bought it. Like it's a cut on the bottom.

[Fran]

Oh.

[Ria]

Which is not my preferred.

[Fran]

Oh my sweatshirt. Oh mine's like just a very good after. Yeah, we'll send pictures after.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

Coming off the lirr at like 6 o' clock last night was really an experience because it Was people coming back from the jets game mixed with Gaga mixed with, like, you know, just a Sunday in New York.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

I was like, this is a. This is quite the group of people, right?

[Ria]

It's a mixture of people all over.

[Fran]

Quite the group of people. I was like, damn, these people who are coming to Gaga this early. She's not coming. You're. You're waiting a long time. I said, I hope you guys know she's going to the VMAs first, right?

[Ria]

Yeah. Because you wait a while. Like, thankfully, we played it right. We went to dinner at about 6:30.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And we were done at like, 8. We got to MSG around 8:20.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Got water, merch. We were all good to go. And.

[Fran]

Yeah. Cause no opening.

[Ria]

She started immediately, so. Well, she started the VMA performances. But yeah, it was honestly just a thousand out of ten. Like, I am so, so happy I got to go. It was absolutely incredible. And like, I've just been on a high since I went to the show. I can't stop watching. I'm usually not one that films a bunch of videos at a concert because I.

[Fran]

What. What song did she play on the piano?

[Ria]

Hair. It was really, really good, which she had played at one of the other MSG shows, so I thought maybe I'd get Edge of Glory as well.

[Fran]

Right, right, right.

[Ria]

But she played Hair. But it was really sweet. She dedicated to her two best friends that were there that were her friends in high school. And she said, like, you know, people weren't so nice to her, but, like, they always had her back. And she was, like, crying. Like, it was really sweet. It was really. Yeah. And then obviously everyone else started crying. It was really sweet. I do feel bad, though, because when she talks, you can hear that her voice is a little bit strained.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

And she did cancel that Miami show.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

When she sings, she sounds incredible. Like, wow. But when she was talking, I was like, oh, her voice does sound right.

[Fran]

She's.

[Ria]

She needs some rest.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

But she can't rest right now. She's got a lot of shows, got a lot going on, but just incredible, incredible. Saturday night, date night, little dinner, concert. Just absolutely incredible. And then Sunday, you know, football's.

[Fran]

Football's back. Football is back. I know. And it was rainy, so it was really just lay on the couch and watch football day kind of day. But we had a fantastic time in Savannah.

[Ria]

Yes, we did.

[Fran]

We love Savannah. It was so cute. Thank you to everybody who came to our Rumhaven event. We had so much fun hanging and.

[Ria]

Chatting with Everybody, so much fun.

[Fran]

And we had a phenomenal dinner, which, like, I felt bad because I texted even, like, Friday morning, I was like, you know, I really feel like I just kept being repetitive at the table, being like, oh, this is really good. This is really good. But I was also watching the Eagles game, so I was a little distracted. But when I woke up in the morning, thinking back, and again, I was like, that was really fucking good.

[Ria]

It was phenomenal. We went to Common Thread in Savannah. Chef, table. Like, just spectacular, fresh, amazing food.

[Fran]

Everything. The food, like, I went back and I loved. It was a smaller menu, which is the best, because there was. There's five of us, so it was like, we're ordering everything, and we ordered. We ordered quite literally every single thing on the menu.

[Ria]

We ordered everything on the menu. That's not an exaggeration.

[Fran]

And I'm glad we did because we got to try everything. And it was absolutely phenomenal.

[Ria]

That's my dream dinner. Just a little taste of everything. And they had a chilled red, which I love. I love when you can get a chilled red to pair. Like, it was just. It was chef's kiss, but you were watching the Eagles game. But it was a good. It was a. It was a crazy start.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we sat down at the T, unfortunately, we really wanted to go to this restaurant. We had, like, a different reservation. And then we were. When we found out about this restaurant, we were like, all right, we're just gonna make this happen. And I preface it by saying, guys, like, I'm. I apologize, it's gonna be rude, but I am gonna have the game on my phone.

[Ria]

And I said, go for it, cuz I don't give a shit as long as I can go to this restaurant. Yeah, I don't care if none of us speak to each other.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

I want to go eat here.

[Fran]

Exactly. So I was like, okay, like that. I'll just do it so that we're not missing out on the restaurant as well. But literally, the game started at the same time as of us sitting down at the table. And you got. Everyone's chatting and I'm sitting there, I'm like, oh, my God. I said, this guy, we. The game hasn't even started. He just spit. He just spit on Dak Prescott and the pork other. Poor kid, like, tore his knee, so he's, like, getting carted off the field. Game has even started as a first play. Jalen Carter spitting on Dak Prescott. Just a whole.

[Ria]

There's a lot going on. Whole.

[Fran]

A lot, a lot Going on. Then three hours later, like they're after. There's a lightning delay, everybody, they're off the field for an hour. I'm back in the hotel. I'm like, oh my God, we have a flight at 7. But I'm like, what. Have to see what happens. They don't start the game again till like 11:30. Then they're showing, they're showing Dak spitting just in Jalen's direction. Not did not appear at him, but just like in his area. I mean, God only knows what's going through these football players heads. And I just think some of that, like it's just like not the brightest move, but it's just like you're working on this. You're so football concentrated and then you're. You're hyped up. Beginning of the game, first season playing the Cowboys. And. And I think Jalen Carter really thought that, that Dak Prescott was spitting at him. And I don't really, I don't really.

[Ria]

I think he was maybe just like spitting on the ground.

[Fran]

Yeah. I will say though, there was like a, There was like a head nod and smile that I was like, that could have been, you know, it was like a spit. He spit on the ground. But then he went like this, you know, gave him like a, like a smile and a smirk.

[Ria]

Yeah. I was wondering your take on this.

[Fran]

Because I was going back and forth and a head nod and a head nod.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I was like, you know, it wasn't like I felt it was maybe a small poke.

[Ria]

Small poke.

[Fran]

But then of course, you know, Joe's like, oh, you spitting on me. He's spit back 100%. We can't be spitting on people.

[Ria]

No, not, not even before the game.

[Fran]

Can't be spitting on people. That's just, it's. It's terrible behavior. Cannot be doing that. I thought, what a weekend for football.

[Ria]

Then Travis Kelsey got punched in the face.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, I saw that as well.

[Ria]

But like with his helmet on, Travis.

[Noah]

Kelsey asked for it. A lot of the time though.

[Fran]

You think?

[Noah]

Yeah, like, like, did you not see like right before that?

[Ria]

I don't.

[Fran]

Yeah, no, I mean, I saw.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But it really. It was also like another thing was like he kind of got like, you know, pushed in the, in the face mask. And the way that Travis is treated now in the media I think is so like the TMZ article was like Travis Kelce viciously attacks basically the laugh. Viciously slapped in by Charger. Like it was like I said, 100% like penalty it's not right. You know, but it wasn't like.

[Ria]

It's.

[Fran]

It wasn't like the guy ripped his helmet off and slapped him in the face.

[Ria]

No. And, like, this happens in football.

[Noah]

I saw. I think it was like, one of the. It might have been. Will Compton commented on, like, a post being like, wow, he got slapped. And someone said, he goes on your podcast and this is how you treat him.

[Fran]

It's like, yeah.

[Ria]

Like, I think Thomas Kelsey's, like, used to it.

[Fran]

Like, dare I say, Like, I think maybe my definition of a slap is just different, but, like, when I think of a slap, it is. It is skin contact, you know? Yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

Like, he was wearing a helmet. He got a helmet in the face wearing a helmet.

[Fran]

Yeah. Like, it was, like, shoved in the face.

[Ria]

Yeah, it was like a shot, you know, Whatever.

[Fran]

What? Yeah. But, like, it was.

[Ria]

Whatever it was. Yeah.

[Fran]

Calling it a slap, I feel like, is just not the definition of a slap in my mind. If you're out there and you're like, it's football time.

[Ria]

Like, I'm just thinking about, like, if I was a guy out there, I'd be like, yeah, let's get aggressive.

[Fran]

Like, yeah, let's beat the shit out of each other.

[Ria]

Like, I feel like that's kind of the mode anyway.

[Fran]

My bills had. Yeah, your bill.

[Ria]

What a game.

[Noah]

The whole game.

[Ria]

My bills. I always sound funny coming out of my mouth. I did watch the whole game.

[Noah]

I actually laughed out loud when I saw your story. My first game as a Bills fan.

[Ria]

I'm not gonna lie. I made myself laugh with that friend.

[Fran]

Texted her after the game. I said, congrats. What a win. As a. As your first game as a fan, I'll say this.

[Ria]

And I know. I know nobody cares. I know the whole thing. Nobody cares about your fantasy football team. Like, I'm aware of that. Even though I've never had one before. It's my first year having one. I know the rules. That nobody cares about your team.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

I do want to preface, though, saying my first weekend having a fantasy football team and also my first weekend as a Bills fan. Quite the matchup because Lamar Jackson is my starting quarterback on my football team. On my fantasy football team. So, Matt, when he broke the news to me Sunday morning, he was like, tonight's a big game for you. It's the Ravens versus the Bills. I said, explain. He's like, well, you know, you're room for the Bills, but also you got to be room for Lamar Jackson. He said, you should be rooting for, like, a 40 to 39.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

He's like, that's we. Which was. He wasn't far off prediction. Was not a far off prediction Sunday morning from Matthew Cahill because I was like, I want to watch in the game. I said, oh, my God.

[Fran]

You told the future.

[Ria]

Kind of.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But Lamar did what he had to do for my team. But then also, great start for my Bills.

[Fran]

Yes. Yes, it was.

[Ria]

It was kind like, what a game. What a game. Seeing people talk about it like, you know, it was kind of just like, whoa, you know, the Bills shouldn't have won that game sort of thing. Yeah, it was really out of nowhere.

[Fran]

But maybe they didn't have, you know, you put your.

[Ria]

Maybe my good, positive spirit and vibes behind the Bills. Help them.

[Fran]

But I will say, come on, guys.

[Noah]

This is Ria's first game.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Come on.

[Ria]

Josh Allen's in the huddle. Like, Rhea from Chicks in the Office is rooting for us.

[Fran]

Wow. These. Some of these fans left early, but you know who's still up watching at home? Rhea.

[Ria]

I will say I love my Bill's mafia listeners in the dms. There's no one more supportive. They welcome you with open arms with the nicest messages. Like, seriously, I've never felt so welcomed.

[Fran]

Like, they're like, we are.

[Ria]

We welcome anybody who wants a ride with us. And I'm like, you know what? I love that they don't care how late I am to the game. They're just happy to have someone along with them and I'm happy to be a part of it. So thank you for having me. And we're on to week two. We'll see what happens.

[Fran]

Exactly. But it was quite. Quite the. Quite the start, for sure. I was like, look, I love going into the rest of the weekend knowing that the Eagles have won a game, but I was like, we. Unfortunately, that. That spit is going to be discussed for the whole rest of the season, which is just like, you have to defend your team. You don't want that energy. Because, I mean, spitting on other players just in defense. So it's just.

[Noah]

I would say even if you got spit on, you shouldn't spit back. You know, two wrongs don't make it right.

[Ria]

You're right. But. Yeah, it's hard to do.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

If you were. If you're. You're right, you're right.

[Fran]

No, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

[Ria]

Because, like, think about it. I'm. I was just about to bring up, like, if you were walking down the street, somebody spit at you, you wouldn't spit at the back and probably just keep walking and like, text us.

[Fran]

It's always the second person that gets caught too, especially in football. Like, a lot of times the ref miss the. The first instigation and it's like, if you retaliate, you're the retaliator always gets punished. Right.

[Ria]

That was like in school when you were growing up and like, someone, you know, you're talking a lot, but the person next to you starting it, but then you get in trouble and you're like, the fuck. But.

[Fran]

Yep, exactly. Exactly. But, you know, Eagles are one and now the Bills are one.

[Ria]

Great for us.

[Fran]

Great for us. I was gonna bring up some. I was at a wet. I had a beautiful wedding this weekend.

[Ria]

It looks gorgeous.

[Fran]

Thank you. It was a stunning wedding.

[Ria]

I love the orange dress that you wore.

[Fran]

Thank you.

[Ria]

It was really stunning. Great color on you.

[Fran]

Thank you. I feel like I, you know, I've re. This is the time when you've reached final form of. This is like the peak. As tan as I'll be.

[Ria]

Yep.

[Fran]

And from now on, it's all downhill, you know. So that nice orange color with the tan.

[Ria]

Oh, gorgeous.

[Fran]

Is a good. Is a good combo, but stunning wedding. Beautiful out in the Hamptons. So much fun, really. And like, we were in a Airbnb with a bunch of other couples. So it's just like, good vibes, good hang.

[Ria]

Love It.

[Fran]

And it was like Friday, Saturday. Gorgeous. Saturday night was crazy. Cuz, like, I know it was raining. It rained in the city, but like, it rained. It like poured at like 8 o'.

[Ria]

Clock.

[Fran]

We were all under the tent. We had. No. We were having so much fun. We like, looked over. We're like, oh, my God, it's boring. And then going into their little, like, after party, they had Chick fil A sandwiches for everybody.

[Ria]

Stunning.

[Fran]

And they were like, piping hot.

[Ria]

Oh, that's good.

[Fran]

It was just fresh.

[Ria]

Eat fresh Chick fil A.

[Fran]

It was really a fantastic wedding. And then you wake up and it was like drizzly and cold and rainy on Sunday. And we were like, ah, perfect. Get to the car, go home. Just sit on the couch.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

With Chick fil A, like, because they're obviously closed, so they work somehow.

[Fran]

I don't know how they did it.

[Ria]

But all I know wasn't the wedding was on Saturday.

[Noah]

No, I'm saying, like, at night, like, Chick fil a is closed. Like, how's it pipe?

[Fran]

I mean, there's also like, not a Chick fil a close by to where we were. You know, they made it happen.

[Ria]

Wedding vendors do that now. Like, they didn't get like any fast food basically possible at this time.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

For weddings they do it and they.

[Fran]

Like keep it all warm and then.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

In the kitchen. And then they put it in like the Chick Fil a Heated. Not heated, but you know, the ventilated bags too.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

And then handed them all out. Fantastic.

[Ria]

That sounds amazing.

[Fran]

It was a really, really, really beautiful wedding, so.

[Ria]

What a delight.

[Fran]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ria]

That's lovely.

[Fran]

I feel like.

[Ria]

Anything else?

[Fran]

Noah, would you do anything crazy this weekend? Oh, you rode the bull. How'd it go?

[Noah]

We rolled. Rode the bull. Which you guys kindly declined. In Savannah.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

I had a 6am flight.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I said, I don't need to see this. The only thing it's gonna do is make us uncomfortable.

[Fran]

Eagles. Eagles were still on. So I was.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

Especially with after the lightning delay. I was like, now I got time. Yeah, I'm going to bed.

[Noah]

Yeah. We went to this bar, Saddlebags in Savannah, which everyone recommended. And no one was like, the bull. No one was even acknowledging the bull. I was the first one to even, like, go up and ride it. Everyone was line dancing, which.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Quite a sight to see.

[Fran]

I think you made.

[Noah]

I've never seen Lion Duncan in person.

[Fran]

Neither have I. Only in the movies.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Got on the bowl and it's harder than it looks.

[Ria]

You rode that thing? I Saw, Barely. Yeah. No, you.

[Fran]

I mean, I watched the video you posted.

[Noah]

Yeah, I wasn't great. Yeah, I wasn't great.

[Ria]

I think you're right. I've never done it, but I would assume that you're right, that it's harder than it looks because you look at it, you're like, oh, I could do this. But then you watch everybody do it.

[Noah]

There's really nothing to hold on to, which is the tough part. But it was fun. And then we stayed longer than we thought, just. Cause we watched, like, we were literally just watching the line dancing as if we were at, like, a concert. But, yeah, that was fun. Went to the top of the Freedom Tower is another thing on my list.

[Ria]

Nice.

[Noah]

Extremely underwhelming, if I'm being honest. And people had said that when I put it on the list, like, that isn't really what you're going to think of this.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

You go up there and, like, you kind of just feel like you're in an office building looking out a window. Like, it's not like the Empire State Building, where it's like, wow, like, we're up here, we're outside. There's no outdoor area.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

The photo op is, like, in front of, like, a green screen.

[Fran]

I.

[Noah]

There you go.

[Fran]

I've done it. I thought it was pretty cool. I mean, you're just higher than anything. Like, you know, you get a great view of everything. And I also think, just like, I've never done it. The elevator is cool, but the elevator is cool. I think just like, also, for safety reasons, there's no need for anybody to be able to go outside, you know?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Noah]

You know, you've been to the Empire State. Like, that type of. You go to the Eiffel Tower. It's nice to be like.

[Fran]

But the Freedom Tower is way taller than the Empire State.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Mm.

[Noah]

I don't know. But it was quick and checked off the list.

[Ria]

So check off another thing.

[Noah]

And that was one that you guys put on there.

[Ria]

We got a. We got a big one this Thursday.

[Noah]

We do.

[Ria]

We are dancing our asses off. I'm hyped up.

[Fran]

You too?

[Ria]

Yeah. Me and Noah and possibly and Matt. Wow.

[Fran]

Because a new addition.

[Ria]

A new addition. Because first of all, I think he's a. I think he has a lot of potential to be a great dancer. I always tell him this, and I.

[Noah]

So I'm going to be like, now the worst episode.

[Fran]

I was going to say so is now Noah's just going to be like the wheel of the dance.

[Ria]

I. I asked Because I. He was coming anyway to watch, and I was like, oh, well, do you want to dance? And he was like, I would, like, learn it on the side, but, like, I don't want to, like, impose. And I asked Noah. Noah was like, I would prefer.

[Noah]

Yeah. I think the more people that do it, the less it's like, on me.

[Ria]

Yeah. Because he was like, I don't want to impose on it. And I asked Noah. Noah's like, I would prefer. So then I said.

[Fran]

Not to, like, continue to. To disagree with you. I actually think Matt, like, could blow you out of the water. That it would be not.

[Noah]

No, I think everyone has just more distracting to watch.

[Ria]

Like, then they'll just watch the good dance.

[Noah]

It's less, like, pressure just to be like, wow, it's Noah dance.

[Ria]

I'm under the impression he's going to be better than both of us, but.

[Noah]

I wouldn't be surprised.

[Fran]

I will. I just think you two are, like, going to put on a fudgeing show and.

[Ria]

No.

[Fran]

Is going to look really weird.

[Ria]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Noah]

I have to be like, what we.

[Ria]

What was. I would, like, be the center, and then they'll be like my backup dancer.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

So it'll look kind of like I'm.

[Noah]

No, we can't have it be like a couple dancing. I'm standing there.

[Ria]

No, no, no, no.

[Fran]

I just say, look, these two have electrifying chemistry.

[Ria]

I just think you're my guest, Marty.

[Noah]

And I don't have electrifying chemistry.

[Fran]

Well, I don't think you're. I don't think Ria's gonna be trying dancing on you like she would be dancing on Marty in a hip hop.

[Noah]

Who's worried that she's left out?

[Ria]

Yeah, you're right. Maybe. Maybe I'll be left out. Maybe those two will be dancing on each other. I don't know. But I will say this. Like, we got a good song.

[Noah]

I don't think we should reveal it.

[Ria]

We won't. But I have some strong faith that, like, we're gonna. We're gonna rock the world with this.

[Fran]

I think you guys are gonna be fantastic. Now that I know that Matt's doing it.

[Ria]

Like, I. I almost think that, like, and no offense, like, this is no offense to you, Noah, because I haven't seen your dad's skills yet.

[Noah]

Like, I'm excited to see them in.

[Fran]

Middle school, you know?

[Ria]

Well, and you rocked it in middle school.

[Noah]

That was a long time ago.

[Ria]

But I will say this, like, it might get to a point where People see me and Matt dancing and go, these two gotta be on Dancing with the Stars together, like, as just like a performance.

[Noah]

We should have asked Julianne last week for some tips or Riley, but they.

[Ria]

Don'T do hip hop.

[Fran]

Well, you want. So you think you can dance. Does that show still exist?

[Ria]

I don't know.

[Fran]

Well, if it did, you guys could be a dude.

[Ria]

Yeah, we could be like Jenna and Val.

[Fran]

What's that other one?

[Ria]

Pasha and Danielle.

[Fran]

What's that other one that they did that JLo was a judge with? Derek and Neo. What was that one called? World of Dance.

[Ria]

World of Dance.

[Fran]

I loved World of Dance. I watched that one.

[Ria]

The reason that I kept telling Matt that I think that he would be such a good dancer is because I was down such. Because of Dancing with the Stars. I was down such a rabbit hole of watching everything, like Pasha and Daniela and Jenna and Val, like, all their dances together. And I was like. I was like, you got it, honey. Like, this could be me and you. Yeah, in my wildest dreams. But we'll find out on Thursday and then we're gonna. The song is good.

[Fran]

I'm very excited to see what this. Although especially now, especially with the song you guys are dancing to with the three of you, like, I mean, it's just. Well, I really changes the dynamic.

[Ria]

I kept suggesting songs to Noah that he would be like. He, like, didn't have a good reaction to. And then he suggested, like, the wor. It's a great song, don't get me wrong. But like, the most basic song ever. And I was like, this is what you're suggesting for, like, our big hip hop debut. You suggested. Yeah. By us.

[Noah]

Oh, because I was thinking of the hitch.

[Fran]

I know, but that's such a.

[Ria]

If you're trying to feel, like, cool, like.

[Fran]

Yeah, you're not playing.

[Ria]

Yeah. By us.

[Fran]

That's maybe a little overdone. Yeah.

[Ria]

I was suggesting, like, real deal hip hop songs. And he was like, but now we have one that I feel like is is in the middle. Like, everyone knows it, but it's still.

[Noah]

You know, he's been on. It's a tease. He's been on Dancing with the Stars. Now the singer of the song. Or am I making it?

[Fran]

Yes, you're correct.

[Ria]

You are correct. And then we're rewarding ourselves with a sausage and pepper sandwich at San Janeiro Fest after Amazing. I can't go off the list. I can't wait. I think I'm gonna wear my Gaga tank top.

[Fran]

Do you guys are out? Oh, for the day.

[Ria]

They're providing.

[Fran]

Yeah, right, right, right.

[Ria]

Sweatpants and. And such.

[Fran]

Well, you better tell them that Matt's coming.

[Ria]

I'd say no.

[Fran]

Okay.

[Ria]

They're aware.

[Fran]

I was gonna say he can't be, like, not in the matching alpha.

[Ria]

No, no, he's. They're aware he'll be there.

[Noah]

Triple collab, man.

[Ria]

Yeah, triple collab's gonna go crazy. Although Matt. Matt is like, he.

[Fran]

He's gonna need, like, to, like, live stream into this somehow.

[Ria]

I know. Should we just have a live stream going on the chicks in the office Instagram?

[Fran]

Are you two going. Maddie. Sarah. Maddie.

[Ria]

Okay.

[Fran]

All right. So I'm just gonna FaceTime maddie so that she can just.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah. But she's got to be filming it, you know.

[Ria]

Yeah. Behind the camera there.

[Fran]

Yeah, true.

[Ria]

Yeah. Well, let's just hope Matt doesn't show us both up, because then it'll be, like, a little bit annoying.

[Fran]

I mean, you're gonna, like, regret it. We're like, wait. We're like, who the.

[Ria]

Who am I? This guy. Come on.

[Noah]

I never, like, went into this thinking I'm gonna, you know, come out the best answer. So, like, it's more on. You don't want to get showed up, but on me. It's like, I kind of already expected to be, like, you know.

[Ria]

Well. Well, because how it went was I was already better than you.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

But now. And it was just me and you.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

So of course you weren't going to be the best answer. But now that we've added a third.

[Fran]

It'S like, now it's kind of a mystery.

[Ria]

It is a mystery. We'll find out. We'll find out. I'm very excited, though. You have no idea. Like, the way that I was practicing yesterday.

[Noah]

Can we go out before and, like, you know, get a little loose?

[Ria]

Matt did ask if we could have a drink before. That's what I was saying.

[Noah]

At least a drink.

[Ria]

We can have one drink before. We just don't want to be too. You know.

[Fran]

What? Yeah. Because you guys are going to be working.

[Noah]

No, I know, but, you know, but think about it.

[Ria]

Like, when you go out and you dance all night long, drinking.

[Noah]

Like I wouldn't be dancing. I'd do when we go out if I wasn't.

[Ria]

No, no, exactly. We'll have.

[Fran]

Well, I mean, you're not exactly doing choreo when you're.

[Noah]

No, I'm not. Well, in my mind, we're gonna hit that choreo hard.

[Ria]

Yeah. I've been practicing my moves. We'll see.

[Fran]

I'm. I'm excited to see this, Jenny.

[Ria]

For you guys, I'm very, very excited. Before we get into the topics, big announcement, our tour tickets are on sale Tuesday, 12pm Eastern Time. We are so, so excited for this Tour. It starts October 23rd. It's the best show on Earth tour. Obviously, that's what we had to call. You are logged on and ready to buy those tickets. Ready to buy those tickets. Okay. Tuesday, 12:00pm Eastern Time. Be there or be fucking square. Put your motherfucking paws up and we'll see you on tour.

[Fran]

I love it. I also really just like want to give a special shout out and love to our fans that were so worried that we were competing with Ariana Grande as far as ticket sales.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

That like our tickets were going on sale around the same time.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

As Ariana Grande. That like our tickets would be just as hard to get as Ariana Grande. So I appreciate that. I appreciate, but I do appreciate that sentiment.

[Ria]

Totally appreciate it. I do not believe it'll be like that, but I, you know, one can only hope that it'll be that hard because that's what we're aiming for and we want to see you guys there. So do not miss out on getting those tickets. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We're going to be talking about the VMAs Sunday night. Also, a ton of couple debuts this past weekend. We got Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles, which we already knew about. But then we got Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski, Olivia Jaden, Glenn Powell, Madison Beer and Justin Herbert, Endless couples. Right now, the Jonas Fellers announced their Christmas Spectacular movie and the White Lotus filming location is revealed for the fourth season. And we have the weekly Watch report. So let's get into it. Having the right people in your corner for life's biggest milestones makes all the difference. Like that friend who's there. When you close on your dream house or helping you pick out the color of your new car, State Farm is there to help you feel supported by helping you choose the coverage you need with a State Farm agent. You know someone is there to help protect what's important. And with so many coverage options for things like your home, car, boat, motorcycle or even rv, it's nice to have help finding what fits for you so you can continue to focus on what's most important to you. Go [e-mail] or use the award winning app to get help from one of their local agents. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. The VMA'S were Sunday night filled with performances and celebrities kind of.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. It's. It's interesting because I do enjoy, like, any award show I do enjoy watching because I do like seeing, you know, the performances and what happens and whatnot. Of course, now, as far as just, like, getting celebrities to show up to these events, times have changed where it was, like, even if you were not nominated, it's like you were going to these big award shows, you were sitting in the front row getting camera reactions, all those things. Now you watch the VMAs and, like, the best reaction they're getting from the crowd is, like, Frankie Grande. You know, like, it's like.

[Ria]

And it's just, what, a shot at Frankie Grande?

[Fran]

No. And I. No shot taken is just like.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

As far, you know, you don't have Taylor Swift dancing in the front row.

[Ria]

Loki has been Frankie Grande.

[Fran]

Not even. Has been.

[Ria]

Never was.

[Fran]

Just. Just. Yes. Not even that.

[Ria]

Frankie Grande, like, literally never was.

[Fran]

Frankie Grande is just Frankie Grande.

[Ria]

Yeah, Frankie. That's what I'm saying. Like, Frankie Grande is just Frankie Grande. Yes.

[Fran]

And never was.

[Ria]

Not has been. He's just there. He's just always been there.

[Fran]

Yes.

[Ria]

And I don't mean that.

[Fran]

No, he has been on our show. That is correct.

[Ria]

He has been on our show.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Early days.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

That was probably the peak of his career.

[Ria]

Let's go.

[Fran]

You know, I made a joke. Now we're.

[Ria]

We got banter flowing. It's Monday, ladies and gentlemen, and we got banter going. Put your motherfucking paws up.

[Fran]

And his paws were up. He was dancing. He was having a great time. But it's like, that's. That's.

[Ria]

He's the ultimate Nepo sibling.

[Noah]

Who's the ultimate Nepo?

[Ria]

No, I mean, ultimate Nepo sibling. The fact that, like, he does not do anything. But he's. He was on Big Brother known because he's.

[Fran]

He has done a bunch of reality tv.

[Ria]

You get what I'm saying? Like, yeah, yeah. Not in the sense of, like, he's ultimately, like, conquered. You know, there's ton of Nepo siblings and whatever that have, like, made insane careers after being related to someone famous. I wouldn't call his career insane.

[Noah]

Like, like, Dylan Efron's his own guy now, you know? Yeah, but Frankie Grande's still, like, oh, that's Ariana's brother, like, forever.

[Fran]

Yeah, but there's plenty of people that are like that.

[Ria]

All right, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll feel it back. I'm just having fun.

[Noah]

The Arianators are gonna come after you.

[Ria]

I'm having fun. Are they?

[Noah]

Are they. Are they like that?

[Ria]

No, no, no. Frankie Grande, he was nice. I'm just.

[Fran]

They might be.

[Ria]

I'm just having fun.

[Fran]

I was looking back to see his.

[Ria]

I'm literally a nobody. Frankie. Like, this is.

[Fran]

You're.

[Ria]

This is what they say. It's the people from their couches making comments. I'm the person from my couch making a comment right now. Frankie.

[Noah]

Siblings.

[Ria]

Frankie Grande's at the VMAs. We're not.

[Fran]

Yeah, I was just saying.

[Ria]

I'm hyping him up now.

[Fran]

Looking at my Explore page. Is there a new Kristin Hannah book coming out? Sorry, it's like the first thing that came up. I went to search Frankie Grande now. Oh, sorry, this is.

[Ria]

[Ria]

Oh, look at that.

[Fran]

Oh, my God. I didn't know that. Find out something new every day.

[Ria]

Did you know the Wedding People was being made into a movie? No. Yeah, apparently so. A film adaptation, I believe. Yeah.

[Fran]

Interesting. Nina Dobrev just signed on to do some book adaptation too. And now I'm for space.

[Ria]

Really? Which one?

[Fran]

It Happened Last Summer.

[Ria]

That sounds familiar.

[Fran]

It was something last Summer. One of those. It's on Nina's Instagram and it's a book that I did read that I'm excited for. It's a little. A little smutty.

[Noah]

It Happened One Summer.

[Ria]

It Happened One Summer. Yes, yes, yes.

[Fran]

Anyways, book news. Yeah. Anyways. But the performances.

[Ria]

Sorry to prank you.

[Fran]

I was gonna say performances at the VMAs, but yeah, I mean, you're just. We are going to sound like the, like, old grumpy millennials. It's just not like it's a different show. There's some people that I'm excited for and some I'm like, I don't know who that is. And that's on me.

[Ria]

Right. As I was watching, I thought to myself, oh, so this is what our parents felt like when we would put on award shows where we knew everybody.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And then they would watch and go, who's that? And we'd go, obviously it's so and so.

[Fran]

Right, right.

[Ria]

But now that's sort of happening with Us, like, we're watching, going, yeah, who's that?

[Fran]

Yeah. And the Vietnamese really to have changed. I. I don't know. Maybe this is just under. Like, as you get older, you kind of realize more of, like, how the awards are won and things like that. When you're younger, you're, like, absolutely devastated when your favorite artist doesn't win the award that they're nominated for. But then you watch as an adult, and it's like, oh, well, Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga are there. So they will be winning these awards because nobody else shows up. Like, nobody else goes.

[Ria]

They're the two biggest celebrities there.

[Fran]

Yeah. Like, you don't get the other nominees. Don't even bother coming. So it's like, oh, okay. But it's. It is. And it's great to see. Obviously, those people win. Like, it was really cool to see Lady Gaga be like, thank you so much. And then, peace out. I've got to go do a show at MSG and her full outfit and everything and see those performances. And Ariana Grande looked stunning. I loved all of her outfit changes. And she was winning awards. Sabrina Carpenter performed. Tate McCray performed like, the Girlies. I'm still in the world of, like, the pop girlies.

[Ria]

Me too.

[Fran]

Yes. That I love. I love seeing it. Their performances were amazing, but some of, like, the newer stuff I'm just unfamiliar with.

[Ria]

Yeah, they had fantastic performances.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

People cannot stop raving about Tate McCrae lately because of her concerts and her performances, and she's such an incredible dancer. Sabrina, as well. Ricky Martin kind of rocked it.

[Fran]

He did.

[Ria]

You know what?

[Fran]

He did push and pull you out, and he looks like, yeah, live in the vida Loca. Like, he seemed fired up to be there, which I can say about Mariah Carey. Who? No, I was like, well, pre show.

[Ria]

Mariah Carey was like, yeah, this is my first moon, man. What the fuck? MTV or whatever. She was like, just kidding. And I was like, oh, she's not kidding.

[Fran]

She's so not kidding. But, yes, thank you for giving nothing during your performance. And honestly, I love Mariah because that seems to be par for the course.

[Ria]

She shows up around Christmas and then.

[Fran]

Award show appearances, too. For her, it's just like, yeah, I'll perform. You won't be blown away. But I'll fucking get up there.

[Ria]

I'll be there, and I'll play all.

[Fran]

My hits, and my God, are they smash hits. But, like, I will. You'll hear the songs. You know, that's it.

[Ria]

She's the definition of, like, logging on to Your computer so it looks like you're at work.

[Fran]

And then moving the mouse around.

[Ria]

Yeah. And she just walks away.

[Fran]

Moving the mouse around a little bit. For sure. Yeah. She loves a good lip sync.

[Ria]

Loves it. Loves it.

[Fran]

And you know what?

[Ria]

We love her for that. Like, we're not expecting her mic to be on.

[Fran]

No, no, there's some. Plenty in moments where I was like, I don't. She's barely even opening her mouth.

[Ria]

Lady Gaga's mic is on.

[Fran]

Always.

[Ria]

Always on. And, you know, I was there. I was at the performance.

[Fran]

No, it was really no big deal. That's so true. Poo, Shane.

[Ria]

Poo you.

[Fran]

I thought the Ozzy Osbourne tribute was good. Yeah.

[Ria]

I mean, Youngblood, here's the thing about him.

[Fran]

He's really talented.

[Ria]

He is really talented. I need to preface this lightly or find the right way to word it.

[Fran]

We're doing a full, like, old man muppets VMA's commentary right now. Like, we're up in the balcony. We're those two cranky old men on a Monday morning.

[Ria]

No, look, I didn't even begin yet.

[Fran]

I just. I just.

[Noah]

I know what you're gonna say.

[Ria]

No, no, no. Here's. Ozzy Osbourne himself has given a ton of credit to Young Blood and has said how similar him and Young Blood are. Ozzy's family have. They've. They've all said how similar Young Blood and Ozzy are. They have sat down with Young Blood, have an interview with him, ask him questions. He answers the questions, and they're like, Ozzy would say the same thing. Ozzy had the same answer. I think Youngblood just studied Ozzy Osbourne and took his entire soul and personality and has made. And, like, has given those answers because he is a hot take. He. He maybe knows that Ozzy. He's, like, so obsessed with Ozzy that he knows that Ozzy has given these answers. And then when he's asked those questions, like, Austin Butler gives the same answers as Ozzy Osbourne.

[Fran]

Right, right, right.

[Ria]

And then people are like, oh, my God, you Nazi. You're so similar. When it's really. Youngblood has just.

[Noah]

But how is that, like, if you're a big fan of someone, you would. You would do that and you would know that.

[Ria]

No, but, like.

[Fran]

Yeah, I agree.

[Ria]

Yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

No, but I get what you're saying. It's not a. It's not. He. He emulates Ozzy, like, to the nth degree.

[Ria]

Like, one of the questions that Sharon Osborne asked Young Blood about, like, movies he watches or something. And he gave such a specific answer, and they were like, oh, my God, that's exactly what Ozzy used to say, right? And I'm like, did Yunplud see this.

[Fran]

In an interview somewhere with Ozzy and.

[Ria]

Give the same exact answer? Or it may just be.

[Noah]

Goes home back to the Wikipedia page.

[Ria]

Or it just may be that he really is just very much like him, which could be the case. He's extremely talented, though.

[Fran]

He is like.

[Ria]

I mean, props to him. Like, if he wants to just take on that role.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Then go for it, because he is very talented.

[Fran]

I don't listen to a lot of his.

[Ria]

I'm working up a sweat trying to bounce around that take.

[Fran]

Yeah, I don't know. I know what you're saying, though. I. I'm very. I'm unfamiliar with Youngblood's original music, but when I do see him performing in award shows, I'm always like, damn, that kid has a lot of talent. Like, his voice is insane. The. Even. Just the. All aboard with the laugh at the beginning, Like, I was like, spot on. He nailed that for a second when he was. They were all singing, and it was, you know, Stephen Tyler and Joe Perry, and they're all together. I'm like, young Blood. I'm like, is Young blood, like, boxing his. Stephen Tyler out a little bit? Like, he was, like, standing, like, in front of him, and. And he wasn't like. They were all like, you know, they. You know, they're, like, touching, hugging each other and singing. But I'm like. There was a couple times, like, Steven Tyler, like, looked out of his left eye, and I was like, is he, like, kid movie over a little bit, right?

[Ria]

He's like, you're. You're not Ozzy.

[Fran]

But they were. It was great.

[Ria]

Sounded amazing.

[Fran]

I thought that performance was really, really cool. Really cool. You know, Let me tell you something. You know what the VMAs were missing?

[Ria]

Let me tell. Let me know. Tell me.

[Fran]

Benson Boone.

[Ria]

We needed some flips. There was a lack of flips at the VMAs.

[Fran]

Lack of flips. And I would like to say. And I've been booning from the beginning. There is a movement happening on TikTok right now because. Because he is on tour.

[Ria]

Did you say you've been booning since the beginning?

[Fran]

I have been booning since the beginning. I'm a Booner. I'm a Booner.

[Ria]

I don't know what any of this means.

[Fran]

There's been a movement now on TikTok because he is doing these covers at his shows on tour. They are blowing people away, and they're all going mega viral, and everyone's freaking out about it. And, like, all the comments are like, oh, my God, wishes own music was this good. But, like. But, like, they're giving him the Kelly Clarkson treatment.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Like, he's. He's out. Like, he's singing these songs. They're so good. What's he gonna sing next? He's such a talent. Like, everyone's like, oh, my God, he's such a talent. I'm like, yeah, he is. He has an amazing voice. But he's saying, When We Were Young, Adele in her original key.

[Ria]

Wow.

[Fran]

Stellar. The other night, he sang Sign of the Times at msg.

[Noah]

But. But isn't. Don't you think it's a little, like, pick me. Is that the right use of that phrase? Like, he knows that if he covers Harry Styles, people are gonna, like, go crazy.

[Fran]

But he's not. Like, he's covering Harry Styles every single night. It's a different song.

[Noah]

No, but he's picking, like, certain songs that, like. Like, oh, the crowd will love this because his. His own music isn't, like, good enough.

[Fran]

What would be any reasoning behind picking a cover? Crowds?

[Ria]

Yeah, like, you know, like, good answer if you're. Because I don't know.

[Fran]

Yeah, you know, like, if you're an artist that does a cover like, that. Does one cover, you're gonna pick a song that the audience is gonna like. What are you gonna pick? An obscure song that no one knows.

[Ria]

You're gonna. You're gonna play a game and pick Phineas as the person.

[Fran]

You're like, hey, guys, got a great cover for you tonight. You're like, no, you're gonna sing Harrison.

[Ria]

That's what Noah would do. Noah. If Noah was performing, he'd pick an obscure song.

[Noah]

No one would know it, and then.

[Ria]

No one would know. And. And he'd be like, oh, what? You guys don't know?

[Noah]

My parents always make fun of me. Like, when we're in the car, I'll play, like, a Stevie Wonder song, but it's not, like, one that anyone knows. And, like, why. Why are you doing.

[Fran]

That's.

[Ria]

That's you. That's, like, your personality. That's, like, just. You embodied.

[Fran]

Right.

[Noah]

Okay, then, whatever. I'll take it back.

[Fran]

You know, I just think, like, if you're like, dua Lipa does it too, and her. She's gonna sing songs. Yeah. That people know and sing along to. Imagine picking a cover. You get up there, you're like, all right, guys, got a great One for you Tonight. The crowd just goes fucking silent because no one knows. Yeah.

[Ria]

This is why you're not Benson Boone.

[Noah]

Thank God.

[Fran]

Wish.

[Noah]

Thank God I'm not Benson.

[Fran]

You don't have the.

[Noah]

I can flip.

[Fran]

The amount of talent you can. That he has.

[Ria]

I'll give you that. You can flip.

[Noah]

Yeah, I can't.

[Fran]

Well, let me tell you, these covers have been fucking amazing. And I wish he. What do you mean?

[Ria]

You've been booming since the beginning, though, because. I don't know.

[Fran]

Because I feel like I have always thought that he was extremely talented. And we have. We both have said it. That we haven't understood the Benson Boone hate.

[Ria]

You're right. We have come to his defense, you know? Right.

[Fran]

And people love to shit on him.

[Ria]

Which I still don't get.

[Fran]

Yeah. And now he's doing these covers and everyone's like, wow, he really is so talented.

[Ria]

Gymnast and a singer.

[Fran]

It's like, yet he's been talented. Yeah, he's been talented. So.

[Ria]

So. So there was a lack of him at the VMAs.

[Fran]

Lack of him at the VMAs. I wish he was there. And I wish he sang when we.

[Ria]

Were young, but that would have been great. But it was great performances. And, you know, I. I don't really care about the awards at the VMAs because I. It's all fake.

[Fran]

Yeah, totally.

[Ria]

You know what I mean? Like, Lady Gaga was clearly paid to be there and.

[Fran]

Right. Ray was given the Artist of the Year first award. It was like, Lady Gaga was like, I'll be there. You can give me the word, but it has to be the first word because I need to leave.

[Ria]

You're gonna pay me because I have a concert at msg. Like, there's no way you're just going. There's no way Lady Go. Gaga's just going to the VMAs because she's like, oh, I have to go to the VMAs while she has a concert. The same. Right, Right.

[Fran]

Yeah, totally.

[Ria]

So, yeah. It's always entertaining, though.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And fun to talk about.

[Fran]

Yes, yes, definitely. But I was really. I was gonna say I wasn't. Everything else tuned in, tuned out. I was also flipping back and forth with the football a little.

[Ria]

My bills were on.

[Fran]

And then, like, I would rewind because I wanted to see, like, Sabrina's full performance and. Yeah, Tate's full performance. It did look like there were some fun after parties. Feel like people go kind of nuts after the VMAs. Right?

[Ria]

Cause it's just fun. It's also Fashion Week.

[Fran]

Yeah. You're in New York. There's tons of big parties going on.

[Ria]

It's like everyone's here right now.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. Carlos. Carlos Alcaraz won the US Open. Like I saw him out fucking partying, partying up a storm as well.

[Ria]

So it's a big week.

[Fran]

There's a lot going. VMAs a lot going on in New York this week.

I mean, they are just all over New York City. They're holding hands. They're in Lindustry. They're in Lindustry. Pizza which is a very. If you're not from New York, a very, very popular pizza place that many people will go to. So they're not even trying to hide.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Then they're at San Ambrose, which is a very, very popular restaurant with Lenny Kravitz himself, as he was presenting the VMAs, he presented the award for Lady Gaga. And they're all over the place holding hands. In every single photograph, Harry is lending his nice blue jacket to Zoe. Like, this is a. This is a couple. To me. This is a couple.

[Fran]

Right, Right. They're definitely in those. In those early dating stages, but it seems like they want to spend a lot of time together, and I love that.

[Ria]

And on top of that, people had been wondering. Bless you. People had been wondering if her and Austin Butler were dating. Well, we got the answer. Austin Butler was seen out on a date with Emily Ratajkowski at the Waverly Inn in New York. Everyone's hitting hotspots.

[Fran]

Typical.

[Ria]

They're. They're going to the places to be seen, you know, you're going to the Waverly Inn.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You're going to Linda Street. Like, you're going.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You're being seen.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Of course. Emily Ratajkowski scoots out. Austin Butler for a date. I mean, we should have seen that coming.

[Fran]

We should have. And you know what? I'm like, in the back of my mind, I'm like, Austin Butler, like, be a little more original, you know? But at the same time, you think.

[Noah]

She slides into his dms.

[Ria]

I think there's some sort of connection made. Like, I don't know if it's a DM slider. Like, you know, a friend of a friend.

[Fran]

Know every.

[Ria]

All the same people put me in contact with Emily. Radical. Put me in contact with Austin Butler. That type of. That type of ordeal. And then on top of that, you got Olivia, Jade and Glen Powell going out to dinner in New York City.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You upset about this? You're taking a long pause.

[Fran]

Yeah. I don't know. Because it was another one that I was like, a little bit of, like, eye roll, you know?

[Ria]

Really?

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Why?

[Fran]

I. I don't know. I don't know.

[Ria]

Fair.

[Fran]

Maybe just her. I don't know.

[Ria]

Yeah. I don't know. I don't feel like a certain type of way about her. Like, I know everyone like, about that. They bring up the thing. It's like, oh, no, it's not.

[Fran]

It's not even. Like, it's not even college admissions.

[Ria]

I feel pretty indifferent about.

[Fran]

Like, that's not her yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know what? She is a little bit. I always just kind of. I'm permanently stuck thinking she's way younger than she is. Which came into play for me. I was like, I feel like, you know, but how old is she? I feel like she's maybe your age.

[Ria]

I mean, it's kind of crazy to go from 25 to go from dating Jacob Elordi for three years and then your first outing date be with Glenn.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

Like, wow.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Who's more famous?

[Ria]

Who's more famous? Glenn Powell.

[Noah]

Glenn Powell.

[Ria]

Glenn Powell. Yeah. Now, yeah.

[Noah]

Do you see those videos of Jacob Lordy. With that daughter of some director?

[Ria]

Yes, I have. On TikTok.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I'm just like randomly. Yes, yes, yes.

[Fran]

But isn't that. Wasn't it. What's her name?

[Noah]

She's like, is she a singer? Is she.

[Ria]

I'm not gonna lie. I kind of just saw him in TikToks with a random woman and just, like, kept going.

[Noah]

So did I. But then I saw other people being like, this is how you should Nepo.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

She's like the daughter of Romy Mars. Yeah.

[Fran]

Her mom is Sofia Coppola.

[Noah]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Fran]

But she's like, has her own music and shit, doesn't she? Am I making that up?

[Noah]

If she does?

[Fran]

Yeah, she is. She does.

[Ria]

Clearly, we're not in tune with this one.

[Fran]

Yeah, no, sure. She had an EP come out in 2024.

[Noah]

We all heard it.

[Fran]

Well, on top, I recognize the name as. As somebody singing. And Glenn's. Glenn's 30. Glenn's 36. I mean, look, they ill. Where they went to Il Cantanori. I think they were. Was Lori there with them or met up with them after? Oh, it says Glenn Powell and Olivia J were spotted enjoying a dinner. New York City, blah, blah, blah. On Sunday, August 31st. Her mother, Lori Loughlin, was also seen at the dinner. Family affair.

[Ria]

Hey. Yeah, they want to meet the fam real quick, I guess.

[Fran]

Yeah. And then they were spotted at Treasure Club later that night and seen leaving together around 2am Nice. Now, see, that's one that I actually do think there's probably a DM slide.

[Ria]

From Glenn Powell or Olivia into Glenn.

[Fran]

No, I think from Glenn.

[Ria]

Glenn Powell slides into Olivia James.

[Fran]

I think so.

[Ria]

I can see that.

[Fran]

I think so. She. Yeah, that is. And she really, like. Even with the Jacob relationship, it was really so private. Private.

[Ria]

Very.

[Fran]

Really? Never like, saw them together, only, like, on vacations. Yeah, yeah. They were very, very.

[Ria]

I feel like Jacob Elordi's that kind of guy that he's like, needs to be very private.

[Fran]

Right? That's very true. That's very true.

[Ria]

And Glenn Powell, I don't think he gives a. Yeah, not gonna lie.

[Fran]

Yeah. But it's like. Yeah, they, you know, out in New York City, you get. You get seen quick. I wonder if this was a date. Like, is. I wonder if this date, like, four or five or if it was really, like, day one.

[Ria]

Right.

[Fran]

If. If his. If his. His. Her mom is there. I imagine it's gotta be a couple dates.

[Ria]

A couple can't be the first date. That'd be wild.

[Fran]

It could. It would be nice.

[Ria]

Could be. And then I'll meet my mom. Maybe Glenn had a thing for aunt Becky.

[Fran]

Right. Maybe they're just that close. Yeah.

[Ria]

You never know. Maybe they're friends.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, probably not.

[Ria]

Probably not. And then on top of that, Madison beer and Justin Herbert, which, you know what it's like, about time for Madison beer.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

In my opinion, I feel like she was always dating, like, a YouTuber or a tech talker, and this, to me, like, quarterback.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Made sense. I'm like, you know, honestly, it took a long time for her to be seen with, like, a.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

An athlete.

[Fran]

Hot, tall, Los Angeles quarterback. Yeah.

[Ria]

Like, she was always seen around with, like, a dweeby, like, tick tocker type. Now she's with, like, star quarterback.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

All right, Good for you.

[Fran]

Seriously. I was just gonna say there's really not too much commentary. Besides, these two make a stunning couple.

[Ria]

Good for both of them, I would say, on both ends. Like, you guys make a hot couple. You walk around Los Angeles. Good for you.

[Fran]

And I know that the, like, the door has always been open, of course, for football players to date celebrities. And you can go back all the way to, like, I mean, all the way. It's not that long ago, but like, Tony Robo Carrie Underwood era. But right now, feels like we're getting a lot. Whether it's Taylor and Travis, Haley and Josh. We got Madison and Justin.

[Ria]

That one makes sense for Justin Herbert. I feel like, totally Madison beer.

[Fran]

Totally. Yeah, totally. I don't really know much about Justin Herbert. I feel like he's a guy that kind of keeps to himself, you know, he's had a. Not a big showy personality in anything that I see him in.

[Ria]

I don't know much about him. All I know is he played well.

[Fran]

He did.

[Ria]

And people are saying, you know, it could be because of Madison here.

[Fran]

Right, right, right. And, yeah. Tall and, like, I said, tall and handsome.

[Ria]

Yeah. Good for them, that's just like a true, like.

[Fran]

Yeah, good for you too, right? Exactly. And it's like he comes back from Brazil, they hit up. They hit up Delilah immediately.

[Ria]

Immediately.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

God. Hop off the plane, go right to Delilah. Pretty much nothing like it.

[Fran]

Pretty much.

[Ria]

Moving on, the Jonas Brothers announced. We knew that they were doing their Christmas movie, but now we got the full reveal coming November 14th. Now, listen, I'm super excited for the brothers. I'll take as much brother content I can get right now from the Jonas's. Like, I'm eating them up left and right. I. I'm loving this new era of them. Like, I love it. But the amount of hate that is coming their way for this Christmas movie, I just don't understand. Every artist out there can put out a documentary for this, a documentary for that, a show for here, this and that. Trying to make money. Yeah, The Jonaspellers do it. They're called broke up and down the aisle. It's just. They're broke. They need this.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Obviously, the brothers have bills to pay. Okay. Don't we all?

[Fran]

Yeah. You're gonna.

[Ria]

You're gonna shut on them for putting out a Christmas movie, right?

[Fran]

There's a massive tour right now.

[Ria]

They're on a massive tour, which is doing well. It's not like. Like, I see people being like, the Jonas Brothers gotta hang it up. Like, no one's going to their tour. Not true. Not true. People are there every single night at their shows.

[Fran]

And on top of that, man, I'm on a different side of the Internet. Obviously not shocking as. As the fan that I am, but I've. I don't see any of this. I only.

[Noah]

I haven't seen any of this.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, I know.

[Ria]

It was relayed to me that on Twitter a lot, there was viral tweets going around.

[Fran]

Oh, well, Twitter's there. Twitter.

[Ria]

But then on people talk Twitter, I.

[Fran]

Feel like people just say shit because it gets them, like, reposts. Because people think it's funny to, like, shit on people.

[Ria]

But then on TikTok, I was getting some TikToks about, too. Like, used to love the Jonas Brothers, but, like, what is this Christmas? What does it matter to you? Don't rent it or watch it, then if it's going to be such a big problem to you, where's your Christmas joy?

[Fran]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ria]

Whatever happens, letting people just have some Christmas joy, letting these three fathers of. Of children participate in some Christmas joy. Yeah, God forbid.

[Fran]

I know.

[Ria]

God forbid.

[Fran]

So, I mean, God forbid they want to spread Christmas Cheer. That's it.

[Ria]

That's it. The Jonas Brothers, all they want to do is spread cheers and people have something to say. Oh, they're broke. No, they're not. Maybe Kevin went broke a while ago, but he's back. He's back in the swing of things. He's fine now.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

You know, and. Oh, God forbid they want to make extra money. Like, why are we. Why are. Why are we getting on them?

[Fran]

I also feel like they have this relationship with Dis. Like, the dizzy relationship has kind of been rekindled, especially with these Camp Rock 3. Camp Rock 3 rumors. And, you know, now they're doing this Christmas movie, which we know has already been filmed and done and everything. And sure, there are times when even their most loyal fans are like, certain things. You're like, okay, little bit of a cash grab. Got it. That's okay.

[Ria]

The fake bow. The list goes on.

[Fran]

Yeah. I mean, the book never came out, so it couldn't really be a cash grab. You're right. But the, like, sentiment of doing a Christmas movie with their brothers, really, I'm not gonna. And the teaser, like, looked cute. I feel like it's gonna be cute.

[Ria]

Sign me the fuck up.

[Fran]

Like, get them home for Christmas.

[Ria]

Right. The Jonas Brothers are going home for Christmas, and I'll be there.

[Fran]

I loved seeing, like, the Jo. Even just in the logo of the movie, seeing, like, the Jonas font. Very reminiscent to the Jonas font from the TV show.

[Ria]

It makes me tear up thinking about the Jonas Brothers releasing a movie for Christmas. Cheer.

[Fran]

I know. You know? You know they sang La Baby is the opening song.

[Ria]

Did they?

[Fran]

In LA over the weekend.

[Ria]

Wow, that's your go to. As soon as we get to la.

[Fran]

As soon as we land in la.

[Ria]

Baby gets put on L A. L A. Yeah.

[Fran]

So I was like, wow, they're doing Jonas LA songs on tour.

[Ria]

They are. I'm going to LA for a wedding in November for somebody who works here, but you guys won't be there, and I feel weird going to LA without you guys.

[Noah]

Why don't we make a work trip?

[Ria]

Don't say.

[Fran]

Should we just all go?

[Ria]

Oh, we should go to Dancing with the Stars.

[Fran]

I do want to go to dancing.

[Ria]

Let's go to Dancing with the Stars that week and then. Yeah, we'll figure it out.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Ria]

But I don't think I've been to LA without you guys. Yeah, actually, I have not.

[Fran]

Yeah, I don't think I have either.

[Ria]

I've never been to LA without, like, work responsibilities.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah, no, definitely I have not. I Have not either. I don't think so. But yeah, they had a big show in la. John Legend came out and that's a get. Yeah, John Legend. I mean, you know, they're close. They did stuff with the Voice and oh, five seconds of Suburb. For a second I just.

[Noah]

Jason Mraz.

[Fran]

My brain went blank for a second. Well, Jason Mraz wasn't the lady. Jason Mraz wasn't the LA show.

[Noah]

Not the la.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I'm Yours was one of the songs in my apartment's film montage.

[Fran]

Oh, yes. At that. Around that time.

[Ria]

Yes. Also it was on the toothbrushes. The tunes. Toothbrushes.

[Fran]

Tooth tunes.

[Ria]

Tooth tunes or whatever it was what they were called. One of them, I think I'm Yours was.

[Noah]

He's a true one hit wonder, right? No, I can't tell you anything.

[Fran]

No. Jason Mraz, also a Dancing with the Stars.

[Ria]

He was. And he got second.

[Noah]

Was that like very good when he was.

[Ria]

That was like recently.

[Fran]

It was like three years ago. Yeah.

[Ria]

Or two years ago.

[Noah]

Oh, that was when they were like. Yeah. Not popping off as much.

[Ria]

They were. They were kind of popping off at that time a little bit.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Season 2023.

[Noah]

He always wears that hat.

[Fran]

Yeah, that's his. That's his look.

[Ria]

That's Jason Rice. That's what he. That's what he looks like.

[Fran]

But I do love that five seconds of summer song too. I was a big like, loved seeing them sing that all together. That was.

[Ria]

I wasn't a big five seconds of Summer person.

[Fran]

I like wasn't a big five sauce. Five sauce. I wasn't big in the fact that like I was obsessed with them, but I did really like them. Like there's a bunch of songs that I really, really liked and Kevin went viral for doing his. His spin. And that's also how, you know you're kind of getting old because people on TikTok were like, what the fuck is Kevin doing? Like, you know.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I was like, oh, guys. Like that's. That's his thing that he would do on tour all the time.

[Ria]

Come on.

[Fran]

He hasn't done it in a while, but he unleashed it for 5 SOS. He said, Let me do my fucking guitar twirl where I almost fall over every time I do it for that song. He had to do it.

[Ria]

He had to.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Moving along. White Lotus. They announce where the filming location will be for season four. It's France.

[Fran]

France.

[Ria]

France now. Could be anywhere. It could be the French Alps. It could be the south of France. It could be Paris.

[Fran]

Yeah. What's your guess?

[Ria]

So originally I thought, okay, well, it has to be the south of France, obviously. But then I remembered an interview Mike White did at the end of this past season where he said he wants to get away from the waves crashing into rocks. Vernacular.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

So I thought snow, maybe French Alps.

[Fran]

That would be stunning. That would be stunning. I would like that switch up. I feel like that'd be a good.

[Ria]

That'd be a good switch up. Yeah.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And obviously, people looked into some, like, Four Seasons hotels.

[Fran]

Right.

[Ria]

And those were, like, the three locations.

[Fran]

Right. Would be. Those are the options.

[Ria]

The French.

[Noah]

Does it have to be Four seasons?

[Ria]

I, you know, great question with Four Seasons.

[Fran]

Great question. I don't know. I don't know if that's just a Mike White preference.

[Ria]

I think. Yeah, maybe they just have, like, you know, they.

[Fran]

They give them the best. They give them the best.

[Noah]

Because, like, is it brought up in the show? They don't say Four seasons.

[Fran]

No. Because their names, the resorts are white.

[Noah]

So then I'm saying, like, it could be any hotel.

[Ria]

It could. But.

[Fran]

Yeah, but I think the Four Seasons aesthetic is like, the most similar to what they want to go for this.

[Ria]

Ski hotel in France for the Four Seasons.

[Fran]

Yeah. Looks like it could be the one.

[Ria]

Like, it's just a different vibe.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

And that's what he said that he wants to get away from.

[Fran]

Because that's it.

[Ria]

Because then I'm thinking Hotel Ducat in the south of France. But yeah, I feel like that would be too similar to, like, Italy.

[Fran]

Yeah. I do think with like, a French Alps one, like, in the mountains and stuff, it might be easier for them to block off the hotel, like, for filming purposes, you know? Cause it's like they need. No, they have to shut down the hotel for months.

[Ria]

And also, it wasn't written yet this season when he. When the last season ended and he's also going on Survivor. Or did they film Survivor already?

[Fran]

Oh, I don't know.

[Ria]

So, like, I don't know if the season's ready to be shot and filmed yet.

[Fran]

Right, right, right. We're really in the advanced stages, I'm sure.

[Ria]

I'm excited to find out, though.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

I think that France is a great spot for that. Right.

[Fran]

I feel like location probably goes first.

[Ria]

Yes.

[Fran]

In him. Let's pick the location. And the story comes after.

[Ria]

And also, just like, French workers at the hotel, like, it's going to be.

[Fran]

Yep, yep, yep.

[Ria]

It's going to be really good.

[Fran]

It is. It is.

[Ria]

All right, that wraps up the topics.

[Fran]

[Ria]

All right, let's get into the weekly Watch Report and 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 not much to catch up on from watching since last Wednesday. Since we did it on last, you know, on Wednesday. And then we were in Savannah and then, you know, Gaga concert. I didn't watch many new. Sorry, watch that many new things. Or really any at all besides the Summer I Turned Pretty. Episode nine came out last Wednesday. There were a lot of mixed opinions about this episode. A lot. Yeah, a lot of mixed opinions because we did not get bon rad. I think they call it Belly and Conrad.

[Fran]

Yeah, they do call.

[Ria]

Yeah, we didn't get that. We got angry Jeremiah, as he should be, right? We got Conrad telling, you know, Adam like, yeah, cause I love her. Why'd you tell her you love her? Cause I love her.

[Fran]

Cause I do, man.

[Ria]

And then we got Belly running around Paris looking for her airtag for the entirety of the episode. I gotta be honest though, I didn't dislike this episode as much as other people did. I still enjoyed it. But I saw people very Upset. And Jenny Han had to come to her defense because people were that upset.

[Fran]

Yeah, she was like, in. In the. In the TikTok comments.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Going back at people.

[Ria]

She was like, I gave you the past four years my life.

[Fran]

Like, what else do you want from me? Yeah, I. I get the frustration. And at the same time, I, like, didn't mind the episode. I didn't, like, hate it, but my frustration comes from. No, like, just knowing that there's only two more episodes. I would have no problem with that episode if it was a 12 or 13 episode season, you know, and then there was more to grow off of it. But now it's like. And even from what we saw in the trailer for these episodes, none of that was in episode nine. So it's like, okay, so episode ten, realistically, that's her. Maybe there's a little time jump. That's my guess. And there's a little bit of a time jump. She's thriving in her Parisian life. She's got her friends, whatever she's doing. Perhaps a fling of sorts.

[Ria]

Hopefully. Hopefully she gets one in before.

[Fran]

And then this letter from Conrad arrives. I'm hoping that happens at the beginning of the episode or early on, because I don't know what the finale is gonna look like, if it's gonna feel just as rushed. Because so many of the complaints with the end of the book was they're like, oh, my God, the epilogues, like, four pages and that's it. And that's, like, all we get. And people want more from it. And now it's like, oh, is the. Is it just gonna be. Episode 11 is gonna feel really rushed too. And that's all we get. Seems to be like, maybe that's. That's the case. I did see an interview with Jenny as well that was saying she was like, I don't really like a neat ending. I want more of a hopeful ending. And everyone in the comments was like, well, what the fuck did you wrap up the book for? In a tight little. It's like. It's like, well, there was an ending for the book. It wasn't like a hopeful will they? Won't they? It was like, no, the book ended. It was pretty fucking clear, like, how it ended.

[Ria]

My.

[Fran]

So I don't know if that change.

[Ria]

And vision would be that they. Not actually my hope, because I wish we would get this before. But my vision and guess would be that they will end the whole entire show with their wedding. Like, Belly and Conrad get married, and then that's it. Like, I and I think people would want to see more after that, but I think it's going to end on that.

[Fran]

I do think that the obsession has perhaps gone a tad too far online. Just because it's like I'm seeing people be like, this should have been. There should have been a whole nother season of them. I'm like, no, no, no. You know, just like, living happily together. Exactly.

[Ria]

What are we gonna watch at?

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah. There's three books. This is the way it is. I didn't really love the Belly running through Paris to, like. There are some things I feel have been added for dramatic effect that maybe didn't need to be. You know, I just feel like she could have shown up in Paris. There could have been a spot for her she could have gone to, you know, is that. It's like, oh, there's no spot for you. You're thrown to the wolves now. You're chase. You're walking through a warehouse club with your suitcase, coming after French strangers who are still in your bat. I don't. There's just like a. I didn't love that beginning for Belly in Paris. The Jeremiah stuff I actually think was pretty necessary.

[Ria]

And him angrily eating.

[Fran]

Yeah. Like, I know people are mad about him and, like, they just want to, like, hate everything that he does. But in this instance, and, you know, fair. I am not a Jeremiah fan, but I'm not really gonna blame him for being super angry and a little bitch during this episode. I mean, he was being a little bitch, but warranted, you know, kind of deserved. He found out that his soon to be wife, day of, was totally still in love with his brother. So.

[Ria]

Right, right. Like, warranted reaction from Jeremiah and he.

[Fran]

Does act, like a little. So it's like, okay, fine. Him sitting on that counter.

[Ria]

Oh, my God. Eating the apple. There was a part where I think Red Bird is his name.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

He was like, there.

[Fran]

There's so many guys and girls here.

[Ria]

I was like, maybe Jeremiah just needs a little dick to get over Belly.

[Fran]

Maybe he needs both.

[Ria]

You know, he needs a little something.

[Fran]

Just needs to hook up with whoever he wants. And that's as he should in this. In this sense. But, yeah, you get like. And then you just get a taste. I think it's more pushing of, like, pushing the narrative of showing that Jeremiah and Belly clearly are just not meant for each other. I think they have also really. I think Jenny's been pretty clear about her. The. The idea that over the last few years, they really both lost each other. Lost each other, lost themselves in their relationship and that they need to, like, go off and figure out who they are, which Belly absolutely does. And I think they really tried to put that emphasis for Jeremiah, too, because even in that phone call when she was like, I think I'm gonna stay. And before that, he was all like, we can make it work. Like, come home. Like, blah, blah, blah. Like, it doesn't have to be over. And then as soon as she's like, you know, I actually think I need this for myself, he's like, well, don't ever call me again.

[Ria]

Yeah. And the way that he treated Laurel. Oh, my God. No. Conrad would never. He was like, oh, your precious little daughter. I was like, whoa.

[Fran]

Yeah. He was obviously not in a good place.

[Ria]

And then he was like, you're not my mom. I was like, wow, that is. That's hurtful, Jeremiah. But he wasn't in a good place. And now we'll see what happens in the rest of the episodes.

[Fran]

Steven and Taylor have, you know, found each other.

[Ria]

Happy for them, honestly, I'm happy for them. I know that I was, like, vocal about Stephen and Denise. It. I'm. Room for. Taylor and Steven are the best part of the show at. At this point in time. And Stephen had the best line of the season. Who the is Lacy Barone? Yeah, I was like, that was.

[Noah]

I mean, I saw people saying they thought he wasn't mad enough when he found out. He was kind of like, oh, that.

[Ria]

Well, I think he was mad, but he's. He's like.

[Noah]

Like, is he gonna apologize to Conrad?

[Ria]

I think he's just, like, his focus is Taylor. Right? Like, it would almost be like, if, once again, he left Taylor to go figure out what the fuck was going on with Belly Connor. It's like, all right, let's. And I also think he.

[Fran]

I also think that he's, like, still so mad that. And, like, he's not gonna. He knows how Jeremiah feels. It's like, I can be really mad at Jeremiah, but, like, maybe now's not the right time to, like, storm over.

[Ria]

And he has to get his own shit together right now. He's got to figure shit out.

[Fran]

People are very into criticizing every single move that these characters are making in a fictional show, which does also, like, always kind of crack me up, because I'm like, they're kids, and they're not gonna do the perfect thing every time. Like, even as a friend, like, I saw a lot of people being like, is crazy that Taylor is helping Jeremiah and not, like, running across the world trying to find out where Belly is. And it's like, okay, understood. But they're young. And Taylor and Belly did kind of get into a strong argument before the wedding. And Belly, like, wants to be left alone, clearly. And, like, maybe give her some space and I'll be here when she wants to talk.

[Ria]

Right. And let's not forget that Taylor's. The money struggles with her and her mom, which is gonna supposed to just buy a flight to Paris. Right.

[Fran]

Which, you know, it's not like Belly has really been hands on with any of Taylor's problems.

[Ria]

No, Belly only cares about herself the whole time. Belly doesn't really give a shit about anyone but herself.

[Fran]

Yes. So.

[Ria]

But at that age, selfish. You know what I mean? Like, that's just kind of like the.

[Fran]

World going to Paris to find herself, her own person.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

And I think that's exactly what she should be doing. Some of the dialogue does always crack me up too. With Steven when, like, he was. When Taylor revealed them being together at Christmas, and he was like, oh, did they? And I'm like, oh, that's your sister.

[Ria]

You don't need to know that. Like, you really don't. Yeah, don't ask that question. No, you don't gotta know.

[Fran]

You don't got. You don't have to know that.

[Ria]

He could have said, did they hook up?

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ria]

You know, that would have been. Yeah, that would have sufficed.

[Fran]

Yep, yep, yep, yep. It definitely would have. But, yeah, I think, you know, unfortunately, that episode was something where it's like, you do need to see the aftermath of the wedding. I think it would have been weird if it just jumped ahead. And we have no idea what happened with, like, right after the wedding and who went where and what was discussed. And unfortunately, maybe it would have been better if there's like one more episode of the season, but we'll see how it all plays out.

[Ria]

You know, I'll give it a more left. Yeah, give that a B plus.

[Fran]

Yeah, it's a. It's a B episode for me.

[Ria]

Yeah, I didn't really watch much else. I put on the meanest mommy movie, a Lifetime movie starring Lisa Rinna, about the Unknown Number documentary. I had to shut it off, obviously, but she's playing the mom and it's spectacular. Like, just for a little. You know what I mean?

[Fran]

Just a little bit.

[Ria]

Like, you have to watch it just.

[Fran]

To get a little tasty.

[Ria]

But then I had to shut it off because I was like, I can't. I cannot watch Lisa Ritta like this any longer. But just to get a Little taste. So I will not give that a reading. I mean, a rating. And. Yeah, just rewatched a couple of things and football was on and Gaga and all that. So I.

[Fran]

Busy weekend.

[Ria]

It was traveling. Yeah, Traveling. So I didn't really watch anything now.

[Fran]

Yeah. That's my grade for summer. I turn pretty. I. I'm still. I have not finished Walter Boys Season 2 yet, but I'm up to episode. I think I just finished six. So I watched. I guess that was maybe three to six. I watched. I forget what I grade, how much I graded last week. It's a B minus. You know, I'm watching. There's drama, there's. But it's like. I don't know. It feels very repetitive of the first season. Cause I feel like. I'm pretty sure there was only one book. And I read it. I'm pretty sure there's only one. No. If you could do that, search for me really quick. I would appreciate if. How many. If it's My Life with the Walter Bros. I think it's just one book, but, like, it was such a hit that they made it a second season. But I almost feel like they're just running back a similar storyline because it's like, oh, Jackie Leaves says there are two books. Oh, there's two books.

[Noah]

Yeah. My Return to the Walter Boys.

[Fran]

Wow. I didn't read that one. Maybe it's. Maybe it's the same thing.

[Noah]

Maybe it came out in April.

[Fran]

The book came out in April?

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Oh, shit. The book just came out.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

I mean, enough to. Where I have not read it in the last, you know, four months.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Huh. I read the book last year. I didn't know that they were making a second one. Maybe they were making a second one to help with the second season, but. Although that wouldn't really make sense because the show's been. Would have been filmed already. But there's probably more to this lore of this second book than I. Then I know I'm talking about right now. Anyways, it feels slightly repetitive. She comes back, it's like, oh, she doesn't want a relationship with either of them. But, like, Alex doesn't want to talk to her at all. He's got to deal with that. Honestly, the side characters, I'm more interested like the other Walter boys. I'm, like, more invested in what's going on in their life. I'm like, ooh, what's Danny like? You know, there's. That's more interesting to me. And yeah, she went. She was also going viral over the weekend, the actress that plays Jackie, because there was like, apparently some article on the sun that says that people like, if you, if you google her, it says her age, that she's like 22 years old. But the sun was saying she's actually 33. And everyone was like freaking out about that because I guess she's never like outright said how old she is. And perhaps there was like one interview that kind of. She like dodged the question. So everyone's like, well, how old is she? And the sun claims to like, have found footage from her high school graduation from 2000. I guess would have been like 2010 ish around there. Because I graduated 2012, so 2010 ish. Either way, whatever age she is, the fact that she is playing a like 15, 16 year old, she looks fucking amazing. You know, if she is 33, kudos, because you are playing an absolute teenager and it's. No one's watching it. Being like, oh my God, she looks so old. This is so hard to believe that she's a teenager, you know?

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

But I think that's kind of all that I watch too. You guys know we've talked about Roback before and the Roback activewear is so great. The Robacks new women's line is amazing. Great products. We are loving their new products for the cooler temperatures that we're getting soon. The Roback fleeces are back and I am so excited. I love a good fleece for the fall. They are so cute. They have the best fit that it's right at the waist and it's such a cozy feel. So if you're going for a morning walk, just or just hanging, it's such a great fleece for me. I love having them so that when I'm walking Olive early in the morning, could just throw the fleece right on as I'm walking out the door. Plus, they have their super popular Tempo hoodie and jogger set. So soft. The fabric is so comfortable. Perfect for a casual, slow day. And our favorite shorts. I know it is getting a little chillier right now, but maybe you're headed for a nice workout. You want to throw your shorts on. The Robax Sunrise shorts are great. So whether you're going to a gym inside or a workout class, these shorts are perfect for whatever activity you have in mind. They're the perfect length. Made from ultra lightweight fabric. They look super cute. I actually just got a new pair of also Roback leggings and top to work out in. Fabric is amazing. So comfortable. It's really one of My favorite workout materials. So you can use the code chicks on roback.com for a generous 20% off your first order of performance. Fleeces, joggers, hoodies, and more. That's spelled R H O B a c k dot com.

[Ria]

Oh, on Peacock.

[Noah]

I forgot that show existed.

[Fran]

I forgot. Yeah. Yeah. I had, like, three episodes left, and I just watched them all the other day. I mean, that was, like, a C minus show, weirdly enough. Like, I think Aaron came off the most likable from.

[Ria]

Well. Cause he's from the whole. From social media for a bit. And, like.

[Fran]

Yeah, and he just, like. And I don't know if it's all fake, and I'm just, like, buying into his bs. But he does kind of seem to have a sense of reality of, like, you know, all my other castmates right now, they're, you know, they're doing the whole social media thing. Good for them. Like, that's what they want to do. But it all seems just kind of like a very superficial life. And even from what you see on his social media now, it's like, you know, he's always out outdoors camping and doing all these things, like, whatever. So I. Hopefully he's living his best life and the version that he wants to be. But it was interesting, like, hearing him talk about Kaler and, like, the. You know, she was a different girl in the villa than afterwards, and she is still really young. And that kind of fame, like, it totally can change things for you and perhaps getting sucked into it a little bit and all that whatnot. And of course, everyone also was like, wow, so many red flags with Kenny. Like, how did we not see it? Or how did Janae not see it? All these things. It's like, well, there was a couple things, but it really wasn't like that. You know, you're not seeing in that moment. And she obviously was very committed to him and them finding out what they wanted to do. But, yeah, looking back, like, the last few episodes, he, like, doesn't know where he wants to live, and it's like a little, oh, I don't know, blah, blah, blah. So, clearly, whatever played into the end. There was probably a factor with that. And that's everything I watch. I have to catch up on Real Hospitals in Miami. That's on my to do list for this week because I've been hearing amazing things about their trip to Spain, so I gotta watch that.

[Ria]

And that's.

[Fran]

That's everything I Watched.

[Ria]

All right. Light Week.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Yeah. Watched Somewhere turn Pretty. We watched it together, actually. All of us, except friend.

[Fran]

Yeah. I wasn't there yet.

[Noah]

And I'll give it a B minus. Like, I. Yeah, it's kind of losing me a little bit with the whole Paris thing.

[Fran]

Yep.

[Noah]

I still can't get over the fact that she, like, couldn't understand that she needed to show the passport when she got to the window.

[Ria]

Like, there was a lot of.

[Noah]

Like, sometimes it doesn't matter what country you're in. You know what you have to show.

[Ria]

You'Re just like, Belly got it together.

[Fran]

I also saw a lot of people criticizing the fact that, like, in the book, it seems like she's pretty. Her French is, like, pretty good. And they're like, oh, she can't, like, put string together a sentence in French.

[Ria]

Wait, but in the book.

[Fran]

In the book, she's, like, reading the Hunger Games.

[Ria]

She goes to Spain. Not. Oh.

[Fran]

Or maybe in the. Oh, maybe not the book. Maybe earlier in the season. What? In season one, she's, like, reading the Hunger Games in French or something.

[Ria]

Okay. Because I'm gonna say she doesn't go to Paris in the book. She goes to Spain.

[Fran]

She goes to Spain. Yeah. Maybe it's not the books. I'm think maybe it's the.

[Noah]

Why did they change that? I wonder.

[Fran]

I think it's maybe the season. In the first season, which I remember it had to been in the first season because there's something where, like, she's reading the Hunger Games in French.

[Noah]

I do remember.

[Fran]

That's very specific for me to remember.

[Ria]

Belly is shown in the Belly Reed series attempting to read the Hunger Games in French, which fans have found humorous given her limited French speaking skills.

[Fran]

Right.

[Noah]

Maybe she wasn't really reading it.

[Fran]

Yeah, maybe. I mean, granted, reading a different language and speaking a different language is very different. I think too, so.

[Ria]

Oh, maybe in season two.

[Fran]

In season two, she was doing it or. Definitely at some point.

[Ria]

Yeah. I'm getting conflicting answers, but I think that's the case. Yeah.

[Fran]

Okay. Anything else?

[Noah]

Yeah, I watched the new Spike Lee Denzel movie. Highest to lowest. It's on Apple TV now.

[Ria]

A dollarock. He's in that asap.

[Noah]

Rocky's in it, but he's not in it as much as you. You would think, based on the promotion for the movie. I love all of Spike Lee and Denzel's movies, especially together. I was very disappointed. This has a good review on Rotten tomatoes. Like a 90 on Rotten Tomatoes. I thought it was really bad. And maybe Spike Lee's like doing an homage to like the original movie. It was just so bad. Like the worst part of the movie is the score of the movie. I think like the music that plays throughout the movie is so strange and it doesn't just make sense, it doesn't fit. It's like an orchestra kind of thing. I don't know. It does not make any sense. Like when there's tense scenes, like the music doesn't match. It just kind of felt all. There's so many good actors in this movie and obviously Spike Lee is a great director. So I was just like, wow, this damn, that's unfortunate. Pointing. So yeah, ASAP was pretty good. Like in the limited on screen he.

[Ria]

Had but as I expect him to be.

[Noah]

Yeah, there is like a scene where they're like kind of battle rapping back and forth which is funny. But yeah, I'll give it a C. Yeah. I did not love it. And then I would kind of watched this movie Friendship, the Paul Rudden.

[Fran]

Yeah, yeah.

[Noah]

Movie.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Noah]

And I'm not really saw mixed reviews of that. Yeah, that's another one has a great reviews. But what's his name? Tim Robinson.

[Ria]

Tim Robinson, yeah.

[Noah]

And what's a show like? I don't really watch that show but.

[Fran]

I don't know the show.

[Noah]

But it's like a very specific type of humor that I don't really think is up my alley. And this movie kind of confirmed it for me. I was just like, right, this is ridiculous. I don't get it. I just don't get it. It's a C minus for me. But if you're into that kind of humor, I guess you'd probably love it. But it just. It was just really strange.

[Ria]

Fair.

[Noah]

And I'll give that a C minus. So a couple of bad reviews there.

[Ria]

A couple of misses there.

[Fran]

Oh, oh, I remember I watched. I can't even say I watched the whole first one because they're so long, but I bought. I know you guys have both watched it. The Billy Joel documentary on Max. I didn't realize both episodes are two and a half hours.

[Ria]

Billy did not. Billy didn't leave anything behind.

[Fran]

My God, it's a five hour story. I've watched an. I watched an hour and a half of it so I can't long say I finished the. The first one but I thought it was real. I mean it's very interesting and really good. I really don't like very loosely knew things about Billy Joel's life so I thought the whole thing was pretty fascinating. Like those early years of the man's had crazy, crazy relationship. Things from the beginning, huh? Yeah, pretty crazy.

[Ria]

It did start out pretty crazy.

[Fran]

Yeah. So that was really good though. I mean I was, I was, I was great. I thought it was really good, but I can't even like, I, you know, I watched an hour of the first one.

[Ria]

I want to watch that movie, Weapons.

[Noah]

Same.

[Ria]

Like, I know it's scary. No, you could rent it on Prime. I looked it up.

[Noah]

I don't think it's like really anyone like known.

[Ria]

I just know that people keep talking.

[Noah]

About how good the movie is. The one that like, apparently Jordan Peele wanted it so bad, badly. And he, when he didn't get it, like the script starting tomorrow, his whole team.

[Ria]

Look at that. Starting tomorrow.

[Noah]

Jul Garner in it.

[Fran]

Yeah. Right. Jul. Yeah.

[Ria]

From prime and Apple tv.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Ria]

Hey, tomorrow, Tomorrow night maybe we watch Weapons.

[Fran]

Is it like horror. Horror or.

[Ria]

I'm pretty sure, yeah. I think there is some actual horror involved.

[Noah]

I heard it's like kind of like. There's some funny parts in it too though. I heard it's like sounds like a Jordan Peele movie. A little bit.

[Ria]

Yeah. I heard it's like very scary as well, but also just like a really good movie. So I want to watch that.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

All right. That's everything we watched.

[Fran]

Yeah. We got to pick it up this week.

[Ria]

We do. We gotta clock in. Clock in.

[Fran]

Oh, I guess I can grade the unknown number, right? Oh no, we graded that on Wednesday. Why don't we take.

[Ria]

You didn't.

[Noah]

You hadn't watched it yet.

[Ria]

You hadn't watched it when I brought it up for Weekly Watch Report.

[Fran]

Yeah, right. Oh, right.

[Ria]

Because I watched it Tuesday night.

[Fran]

Night. Yeah. So I mean, I mean, I'll give that a B plus.

[Ria]

Yeah.

[Fran]

Because now I feel like I have a tainted gray. Because I've also seen a lot of.

[Ria]

People talking about how much they left.

[Fran]

How much they left out, you know, So I feel like there's just, it's.

[Ria]

Just the story runs so much friggin Kendra.

[Fran]

It just goes so deep in that town.

[Ria]

I mean, what you sent me yesterday was so concerning. Fran sent me all over my tick tock a tick tock about how Chloe's mom dressed up as Kendra last Halloween. Like that's.

[Fran]

No, it's inside.

[Ria]

That is insane.

[Fran]

Get Lauren out of this town. Is Lauren still living in this town? She should move.

[Ria]

That is not good.

[Fran]

I was like, yeah. I'm like, okay, Chloe, they. The documentary like paints her as maybe like a little bit of a bully. And then it's like, oh, she. Is she vindicated? I'm like, her parents kind of seem a little nuts, too. Well.

[Ria]

You'Re.

[Fran]

I mean, you're. You're dressing up as this woman for Halloween.

[Ria]

Like, that's insane.

[Fran]

That's insane.

[Ria]

And also, as soon as they started defending Chloe in the documentary about being a bully and like, oh, she just has a lot of whatever, I was like, okay, these.

[Fran]

Yeah.

[Ria]

You know, right.

[Fran]

Like mother, like daughter. Yeah.

[Ria]

Yeah. So that is wild.

[Fran]

Costume dress up is like, she said it put her face, like, insane. Insane.

[Ria]

No, that's, that's.

[Fran]

Sorry. Insane. Crazy.
