Rhea
What's up, everyone?
Fran
It's chicks in the office with Ria and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Friday. Woo. Friday, Friday, Friday. And snap.
Rhea
Really was not snapping.
Fran
No, it's okay. We're giving that Friday.
Rhea
There we go. Friday, Friday.
Noah
Energy.
Rhea
Thank you.
Noah
No, I was just so you know.
Rhea
It kind of has a little bit.
Noah
Of an Addams family distracted by your feet being out.
Rhea
Yeah. Adams family.
Fran
I'm sorry. Yes.
Rhea
You know, the dogs are out. Leave her alone.
Fran
My feet are out because I was Walking in the rainy streets of New York City. And I wore heels today. And even though I wore heels, my jeans were too long and they dragged and got all wet. Now they're dry. Some time has passed. They're dry. And I thought, just get. Let me just get these heels off me and let me just be comfy and cozy. And it's just one of those mornings where I'm getting my period, either today or tomorrow, probably. I'm bloated as shit. Okay, so Happy Friday, everybody. I was walking to the office. Well, I took an Uber to the city. And it's traffic. Lots of traffic.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot going on in the city. This.
Fran
There's a lot of traffic. So I said, all right, I gotta get out and walk from a couple blocks away because there's no way I'm gonna make it on time. So I'm walking, and I have a roller in my hair, and my hair is still a little bit pinned up because, you know, I wanted my curtain bangs to bounce in the wind when I got to work. And I'm walking and a man runs up to me and says, I'm gonna take your purse. And I jumped back. Lo and behold, that man was grocery Shipping Joe. And we warmly embraced.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I said, joe, you scared the shit out of me. You genuinely scared the shit out of me.
Rhea
I did that to him and Serena once on the street. So maybe down the line, his payback was just to you instead of back to me.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Cause I have done almost that exact same thing to the two of them. When I saw them on the street.
Fran
Scared the shit out. I was like, holy. Grocery Store Joe was gonna run away with my purse, which would have honestly been a highlight of my day. So that's how. That's how the day progressed. And now I'm here, and he didn't steal my purse. My purse is on the couch. And we're good.
Rhea
It's here. You're good. You made it.
Fran
But it was just, you know, my jeans were wet, and you knew when you're getting. Your pillow stayed. Everything's irritable. My hair's touching me.
Rhea
Very humid right now. It's like a miserable temperature. Really humid and gross and rainy.
Fran
And I haven't gone to the bathroom today. And when I don't have my morning poop, God, it feels like the day is just derailed.
Rhea
It's derailed for you.
Fran
So I didn't have my morning poop. And then grocery. Grocery store Joe said he was going to steal my purse. Right, right, right. So, yeah, today's been a wild ride.
Rhea
Imagine if you said that back to Joe. Joe, you almost scared the poop out.
Fran
Of me that I didn't take this morning.
Rhea
Joe. Not today.
Fran
Not today.
Rhea
Not in the mood.
Fran
I haven't had my morning bathroom trip.
Rhea
Happy birthday to my Joe. It's his birthday today.
Fran
Happy birthday, Joseph.
Rhea
Yes. The big three. Two.
Fran
Yes. Wow. Doesn't necessarily roll off the top.
Rhea
No, it does not. It does not.
Fran
But 32, huh?
Rhea
32. 32. When I was 31, he was like, you know, I enjoy these five days. We're the same age.
Fran
True. Because your birthdays are so close.
Rhea
Yep, yep. But 32. Yes. So very excited. There's just. How are you gonna. So much. So much.
Fran
How are you celebrating?
Rhea
Well, funny you should ask, but Joe wants to go to one of his favorite restaurants in the city.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Which is Emilio's Bellotto.
Fran
Yes.
Rhea
Which I told you last. You know, when we were talking about plans, it was like, oh, what do you guys got planned? I was like, ah, gonna reach out to Chef Anthony. You know, Joe wants to go to Emilio's. And he went, what? What. What day? So Thursday. His birthday. It's Thursday. His birthday's the 25th.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
And you said, see you there.
Fran
Yeah. Not on purpose. We have had also planned to go to Emilia Blada today. Taking some friends there.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
So we also reached out, not knowing, and we said, oh, we're gonna be there as well. We're taking some friends there on Thursday.
Noah
Same time.
Fran
Same time, Same time.
Noah
You guys just gonna combine tables?
Fran
It's just gonna be. Probably not.
Rhea
No problem, because it's like, they're going with people that, you know, it's Joe's birthday. He doesn't know them. Like, it's. This dinner's about Joe. If, you know, you're kind of. Can I say you're going to dinner with.
Fran
Yeah, sure. I mean, we're going to dinner with Hardy and his wife was just amazing.
Rhea
But, you know, Hardy's a superstar. It's just like, the dinner becomes less about Joe when you're. When you're having dinner with a superstar.
Fran
It's very fair, you know? Yeah.
Rhea
And. But it is funny, because in my mind, I was like, is Chef Anthony gonna put us at tables next to each other?
Fran
No. And Hardy just did Madison Square Garden.
Rhea
Yeah. The man just sold out Madison Square Garden.
Fran
And we just went to his show, and we're gonna be talking about that. And it's like, well, you know, it's.
Noah
Joe's It's Joe's birthday.
Fran
Hardy, we know that you just sold out. Not to Square Garden, but it's Joe's birthday. He's turning 32.
Rhea
Yeah. I don't know. The whole solid MSG thing is cool and all.
Fran
Yeah. But this man turned 32 today. That's my husband's birthday.
Noah
Always sunny, where they're, like, looking across the restaurant, like, at each other.
Fran
Yes. That's one of my favorite episodes. Yeah. No, it was so funny because literally, Fran was. Oh. And I was like, oh, my God, we're also going. Which is just very classic of us. Like, it's just we. Everything is in sync. And then somebody else was going to go to Emilio's on a date as well. And they told us this. And I said, I'm not saying a word. I just want them to show. Coincidentally, three. Three different parties.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
All were going to Amelio's on the same night, but they got wind.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
That we were all going to be there, and they changed their date location. I was like, fuck. It would have been hilarious. But probably for the best.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah.
Fran
Like, genuinely, their reaction to them walking in and seeing all of us, but. But also at different tables.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
No, that's enough to fuck somebody up. If somebody sees us tonight at dinner and they're like, why is 100%. Even Hardy and his wife will probably say, why is Fran?
Noah
You should not acknowledge it. And just, like, see if they, like, wait, is that your co host?
Fran
We should just not speak at all.
Rhea
You should pull a prank on Hardy and his wife and be like, oh.
Fran
We don't talk outside of work.
Rhea
You're like, oh, shit. I actually didn't know she was coming here. We don't talk at all. It's kind of a whole big fake thing we do. And just, like, see what she says. Like, just, like, see what they say. Oh, we actually, like, fake the whole.
Fran
Hardy's like, well, she was at your wedding.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
That was an optic. That was other people there. Optics. That's just an. You know what it's like.
Rhea
It's just like, what? It caused a bigger problem if she wasn't there. Right, right, right.
Fran
You know what? You already. You know, it's like being a superstar. Optics.
Rhea
You know? Come on. Fake relationships.
Fran
Right. Exactly. You get it.
Rhea
You do the same thing with some of those country music singers. Right?
Fran
I'm sure you guys are good friends.
Rhea
Friends. It's for pr.
Fran
Yeah. Oh, my God. I'm totally gonna do that.
Rhea
That would be actually.
Fran
It's cracking me up. Just picturing us not. I'd be like, oh, that bitch. No way.
Noah
Of course she's here.
Rhea
You should actually, like, shake Matt. Like, if we come in after you guys and be like, f. She's here.
Fran
What is she doing here?
Rhea
God, she follows me fucking everywhere.
Fran
I can't escape her. No, but Chev Anthony's gonna be like, wait, what's going on? Why are you guys.
Rhea
I did. When I texted him this morning, like, about it again, I was like, I did hear Ria and Marty, you're also going to dinner. Like, great minds.
Fran
Yeah. And you're probably like, please don't sit us at the rip. You're like, I'm doing that because I don't want you to get it confused that we're sitting at the same table.
Rhea
Yeah, right.
Noah
Maybe one of you will be in the back.
Fran
Here's the thing.
Rhea
Like, well, I made it very clear. I'm going.
Fran
Yeah. And like, me.
Noah
Because, you know, this is the back section.
Rhea
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Fran
No, I think we're all gonna be.
Rhea
In the front wherever they.
Fran
Wherever they put us.
Rhea
Wherever they put us. Here's the thing.
Fran
Neither of us were gonna change our plans, because if it was just Matt and I going, I would be like, oh, okay, we'll just go somewhere else.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
But we are taking them because they want to go to Emilio. So it's like, we.
Noah
Maybe you guys meet up after the little speakeasy thing.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's talks about that.
Fran
Yeah, we did. But, you know, I said, it's Joe's birthday. He does whatever he does. If he wants to say, fudge you, I don't want to look at you, that's fine. That's his birthday. But get this bitch away from my table. That's what it is. You guys get Chevy. Anthony, she's too close.
Rhea
Oh, my God. Be so funny.
Noah
You guys know how to play chess?
Rhea
Yeah, I know the rules, but, like, I don't play. Like, I know.
Noah
Like, I felt really.
Rhea
I know where the pieces can move and all that jazz.
Noah
Because then that's because they all played chess. And you. I was like, yeah, give me a cigarette. Because, like.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
So we were smoking six, playing chess. I'm like.
Rhea
I feel like I'm in.
Noah
Good, fellas.
Rhea
Yeah. It's like, is he. They got a backgammon board in there that. My husband will be in heaven.
Fran
That's all Joe can talk about.
Noah
Honestly. They probably do.
Rhea
I'm sure they do.
Fran
Joe's probably gonna pack his own. Yeah. Little lunchbox With a pack of back, please.
Rhea
We have a. We have back gamma boards of all sizes.
Fran
Yeah, they one for all sizes.
Noah
I've never played.
Rhea
Travel size, mid size, pro size.
Fran
You never played?
Noah
No, but my, my. My grandpa is big into it.
Fran
Joe taught me how to play games and caicos. It's a great game.
Noah
Yeah, it does feel like an older.
Fran
Yeah. And our. On our optic.
Noah
I don't really know young people who do it.
Rhea
Oh, other than you're living out in a rock, my friend. Because backgammon is having a resurgence.
Noah
Really?
Rhea
Oh, my God. Everyone plays in the city now. You don't see people every like, cool. Now I see all like the influencers posting pictures of boards and stuff.
Fran
Isn't that the tournament Joe's doing?
Rhea
Joe is like in three different backgammon leagues.
Fran
Joe's entering a backgammon tournament.
Noah
What?
Rhea
Yeah, he plays in tournaments. Multiple. There's a new. There's a New York backgammon club now that like is, you know, young people of New York, actually. It's all ages. It's all ages. Joe's the captain. He was telling me about his team.
Fran
I want to start.
Rhea
There should be a show about this.
Fran
There should be like the Queen's Gambit. Yeah, Joe's Gambit.
Rhea
Yeah, it's like. Yeah, it's just like. It's just like all. Just absolutely all.
Fran
He sees the backgammon board, so.
Rhea
No, I mean all of his friends play. They play on the beach. All. I mean, it's non stop. Really.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
So he will probably bring a board to dinner.
Fran
Yeah. Wow. Can't wait to see how this dinner unfolds. I'm gonna be talking so much trash about you from a table away. Just see how long it takes for them to catch on.
Rhea
I hope I can't hear you or else I'm gonna be able. I'll be like, start laughing, you know?
Fran
I know, I know.
Rhea
I believe that.
Fran
We're far enough apart. Yeah, yeah. Say, chef, send her the cheapest bottle. These were 24ft apart.
Rhea
You just send drinks over to me and Joe. It's like just something disgusting.
Fran
Oh, this is their favorite bottle.
Rhea
Oh, yeah, it's her. It's his birthday.
Fran
So this piece of this $12 bottle on the menu. Yeah, send that to him. That's funny. I want to start a league for Rummy Cube.
Rhea
I bet you there is one.
Fran
Or I'd enter.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
That's my game. Like if. Queen's Gambit. Rummy Cube.
Rhea
Yeah, That's a fun game. God, I only play that with you.
Fran
I literally like whip asses in rummy. It's crazy. Like, you do not want to step across from me in a Rummy Cube game. You don't. It's unfortunate for whoever does. You get your ass beat every time. You could stay and get your ass beat. Stay and get your ass beat. Or you can stay and get your ass beat. Yeah, that's what it's me when it comes to Rum Cube.
Rhea
Just picture that across the room, across.
Fran
The board for rescue Board. It's just also not a game that you want to teach people, though, either. It's like, you either know it or you don't. Yeah. And if you don't, God, do I want to take my time and teach you when I'm the pro.
Rhea
Yeah. I haven't played in a really long time, so probably be a little rusty.
Fran
Yeah. Mario Kart as well. Anyways, this isn't about the games I'm good at, so we can move along.
Rhea
We're headed to Lady World this weekend, which we're very excited for. Yes, our show is Sunday, which is gonna be great. We're doing trivia. We're also doing a little, like, Family Feud S type game after our show, which is gonna be a lot of fun and so excited to see everybody. It's gonna be blast.

Rhea
He did go to the Hardy show.
Fran
Yes.
Rhea
That he sold out msg.
Fran
Yes. Hardy did play at msg. And a little background info. Cause I feel like when I. I feel like maybe we talked about it when he came to our wedding and then performed, and people online thought. I think they thought that we just, like, hired her from our wedding. Now it happened.
Rhea
But he was a guest, too.
Fran
He was a guest before he was at my table. Yes, he was. But a couple years back, there was a tournament at barstool. The ball in a cup or. No, that was. Yeah, yeah.
Rhea
Beer pong.
Fran
Beer pong. But were they calling it the Bellina Cup?
Rhea
Bellina.
Fran
Remember? And it was. I thought it was Ballina Cup. That was a whole other.
Rhea
A Ballina.
Fran
That's a whole other. Doesn't matter. Anyways, they were doing the Beer Pong League, and Hardy was in it, coincidentally. Oh.
Rhea
And, like, I even knew this origin story.
Fran
Neither. I mean, I knew the origin story, but I didn't know at the time that he was in it, and Hardy was in it, and I guess he played against Matt in it. And then they just, like, stayed in touch since then, and. Yeah, they have stayed in touch, and they've stayed friends, and, you know, he performed at msg. It was fantastic. And Kevin James popped out on stage. I thought, oh, my God, the King of Queens of Queens is right there. And did I try and see if I can catch him backstage in one of the hallways?
Rhea
You did.
Fran
I did.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I did. Was not successful.
Rhea
You missed him.
Fran
Yes. But I feel like you.
Rhea
It was a missed opportunity to not tell him or his wife.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
How excited you would be to meet him.
Fran
I had no idea he was gonna be there.
Rhea
Oh, yeah, you did.
Fran
We heard, like, rumblings, but then never heard about it again. So I thought, there's no way, Kevin.
Rhea
Dude. Right, right, right, right. But then a slight rumor is enough for me to, like, send a text to be like, is right.
Fran
Well, I didn't want to bother them the night of the MSG show and say, most importantly, can I meet Kevin James?
Rhea
How can I make this about me?
Fran
Yeah, right. How can I make this humongous night about me meeting Kevin James?
Rhea
So I heard Kevin James is gonna be there. Right?
Fran
Yeah. So afterwards, when I was like, Kevin James, people were like, didn't know this was something you would Want to.
Rhea
Right. What it pegged you as, like, I need to be Kevin James.
Fran
And I was like, fixing my hair and everything. I was like, I gotta get ready, like, just in case Kevin James.
Noah
Was he, like, in that Martin Short category for you?
Fran
No, no, not at all. I'm actually, like, not even a huge Kevin James. Like, I just love King of Queens, so I'm not like, oh, my God, Kevin James. But I do love King of Queens. So I had something planned in my head like, oh, my God, Kevin. I watch King of Queens every night.
Rhea
Yeah, right, right, right. Did he cross paths?
Fran
No, but you know what I said? Better that way.
Rhea
Fair. Yeah.
Fran
I watch him every night.
Rhea
I was gonna say that could potentially ruin the end of night ritual.
Fran
I wouldn't want to get into bed and maybe like, throw him on when.
Rhea
Right.
Noah
Kevin, I'll see you tonight.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
One of the weirdest times I remember where this sort of happened was we went out and Kendall from Love island was there. And then we went, got home, turned on our tv, and it was like, paused on Kendall from Love Island. And I was like, nah, shut this off. You know what I mean? Like, some of that is like a little.
Noah
When was that?
Fran
Last year, around this time when we Fashion Week. You were there. We went to the.
Noah
I know, but why would Kendall have been on your. The season would have been over.
Fran
Yeah, I think I was just watching a rewatch. I was hitting rewatch and it was pause and we were like, what? And that, like, freaked out.
Rhea
Yeah, that does. That does. That's fair. That's fair.
Fran
So I, you know, it's better. Better that way. But it was. It was awesome. And Kevin James, you know what? I don't think we should ever meet.
Noah
I'm sure he's insanely nice.
Fran
I heard that. I heard he is the nicest.
Rhea
I would imagine so.
Fran
I heard he's incredibly nice.
Rhea
I would imagine so.
Fran
You know what I mean?
Rhea
Yeah. Chuck and Larry.
Noah
He was also another one.
Fran
He was also at Adam Sandler's show last week at msg. Kevin James might as well just do a residency at msj. Seriously, it was a whole thing.
Noah
Should we ask him to do one of our shows?
Fran
Yeah. Wait, Kevin, are you busy this end of October? Imagine last night I'm like, you want to be a guest at our show?
Noah
You were really good up there.
Fran
It felt really natural for you. So, yeah, anyways.
Rhea
Yeah, I had that same thought walking past Nat Wolf of the City yesterday. I was like, do I stop him?
Fran
Why not at this point?
Rhea
Nat, was he tall? Or short. Like, I wouldn't say very tall or, like, very average, normal height. I would say, like, it wasn't like, oh, my God, he's so tall. And I wasn't like, oh, he's short.
Fran
Okay. Yeah.
Rhea
So just an average height. Yeah.
Fran
Just like, you saw Nat Wolf walk by and you go, that's not what. Yes.
Noah
He's six worms.
Rhea
He smiled at Olive. I almost saw it.
Fran
That's really nice.
Noah
Should have been, like, crazy car, Right?
Fran
That's really, really.
Rhea
Like, we made eye contact that he smiled at my dog, and I was like, oh, that's nice.
Fran
That is nice.
Noah
Oh, wait, he's dating Billie Eilish, Right?
Rhea
So they say. So they say.
Fran
Wait. Speaking of dogs, you could talk about your new tattoo.
Rhea
I did get a new tattoo. I was gonna get there.
Fran
Yeah, I thought you just weren't gonna address it.
Rhea
No, I was waiting. It was. We were talking about your night at Hardy.
Fran
Yeah. I thought you didn't post anything.
Noah
I don't even know.
Fran
Yeah. Noah doesn't even know you got a new.
Rhea
Yeah, I haven't posted anything.
Fran
She's not even showing it right now. She's my tattoo.
Rhea
It's so cute. You can't see it that way. No, it's kind of. It's unfortunate because if it was on this hand, I would show you.
Fran
I'll go.
Rhea
I'll slide that way.
Noah
Oh, I can't really see, like, what it is.
Rhea
It's hard to tell. It's the top of Flo's head. It's like a little. Little stitch of her. Of her ears. Me and JB and Gia went on Tuesday to go. We've been talking about it for the last couple weeks. And Gia obviously has way more tattoos than me. I mean, obviously, if you. Some people know that. Some people don't. Most probably don't. She has way more tattoos than me.
Fran
Mm.
Rhea
And she had gotten this, like, really adorable design tattoo design made, and she sent it to my brother, myself. And we were like, oh, we love that for you youu know, because we were like, oh, well, I'll go get something. They're like, oh, we'll love that for you. And then Jimmy's like, oh, maybe I'll do that. Maybe won't. And then I was thinking maybe of even just getting, like, a little, like, her name and something. But my parents were sent a gift to their house of, like, this little frame, and it had this, like, sketch of the top of her head with the ears. Cause this is how, like, her. She would smile on pictures and one ear would stay up and one ear would flop down, and it had, like, a little heart. It said flow on. It was so cute. We still don't know who sent it. There was, like, no card. No, it was you.
Fran
No.
Rhea
Oh, my God. Imagine it was you. I. The way you were looking, looking at me, I thought you were going to be like, it was me.
Fran
Nah, I wish it was.
Rhea
I wish it was, too. You could actually probably could have taken credit for it. No, I'm assuming it's like, someone in my family. Like, I just don't know who. We don't know who sent it. Or one of my parents friends, I guess. I don't know. And it was so cute. And weirdly enough, I, like, was looking at it the other day, and I thought, oh, that would be a cute tattoo. And before we went, JB sent it again to us. Like, JB was like, wait, I may get this. I was like, oh, my God. I thought the same thing. Yeah, this is a sign then, that we should both do this. So Gia got hers on her arm, and then JB Got the same as mine on his arm. And then I got mine on my wrist.
Fran
Nice little flow.
Rhea
Flow, girl. I actually really love it. You know, it's such a weird. It's kind of a weird feeling. You go in and like, we sort of planned it last minute. Like, it wasn't a lot of prep time. We kept delaying it because one of us kept having something come up that we're like, oh, I can't do today. I can't do day. Then all of a sudden, on Tuesday, we were like, fuck it, let's go this afternoon. And we walked right into the place, and they were like, yeah, we'll take you right now. Then all of a sudden, you're in the chair, and you're like. You have no second to, like, overthink what you're doing. You're like, it's just happening. Yeah, but it was great. We went down to. We went to Fun City in the east village, right on St. Mark's and it was great. It was lovely. We're very. I'm very happy about it. I think.
Fran
I love it. I love a thin line tattoo like that. So how many do you have now? Three. Three.
Rhea
Let me tell you, getting this one, like, fresh and new and looks nice, really makes me want to retouch this bad boy.
Fran
Yeah. Yeah, I agree. Maybe, you know, you should get those retouched.
Rhea
I feel like maybe we should get them retouched.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Our. Our.
Fran
For people listening now Me and Fran have matching.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Lightning bolt tattoos. We changed our logo. Which reminds me, we did, we did change our logo. We thought it was about time for a refresh and people said, oh, no more lightning bolts. And you know, lightning bolt was a big thing of our logo. So we got matching lightning bolts. But yeah, new, new and fresh updated pictures for us, which was much needed because we were getting tired of looking at that photograph.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah. There was just a lot going on with it. You know, we've gone down the road of looking at our old podcast logo photos and all those things and just it was time for an upgrade.
Fran
We had some funky choices.
Rhea
We did, we did.
Fran
The one was I had black hair and we were in fuzzy tops.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Phones.
Rhea
Yeah. I don't know. Look, we. Hey, new era. It was just like new eras, you know.
Fran
You know, we were having fun with that.
Rhea
Exactly.
Fran
But we want something that like can stand the test of time and like in two years from now we're not gonna go, oh my God, that's the worst.
Noah
The funny thing is though, I feel like it's inevitable that like maybe not two years, but at some point you're gonna be like, we need to change. Like that's just how it works.
Fran
Yeah. Well, when you, you know, you get older and you change how you look and you know.
Rhea
Yeah, it was just. We're, you know, we've def. It's a lot has changed since those last pictures were taken.
Fran
Yeah. And I. Arguably we look a lot better.
Rhea
So take.
Fran
Make sure it reflects for myself. I can't even look at some photographs of myself, so. But I'm very happy with how I look in these. So.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah, these, these really came out great. So that was, that was nice. But yeah, it was a, it was a very fun week. I was excited to go get the. I really only have tattoos with other people. Like I don't have, you know.
Fran
True.
Rhea
It's such a group activity for me.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
I have hours and then it's. The other two are with my siblings. The seven, three, six is my siblings and this is with my siblings. So I don't know, I was trying to think like if there were other ones that I would get down the line maybe just like things happen. Life events happen sometimes. Like I never thought when after Flo died it was like, oh well, I would love to do this with you guys. Like cuz this, you know, we'll just remember flow in that way. So I thought that that was really nice. I saw my love bug tattoo still probably still in Play.
Fran
I love that one.
Rhea
Still in play for down the Line. I. I think I need. I need, like, a cooler concept for it than what I have in my head. I think I could do that. I will say, Noah, the girl that did Gia's tattoo is really, really talented, and I should know. I'm spacing on her name. But if you go to, like, Gia's TikTok, she credited her for the design and everything. She's done other really cool designs for, like, fans of music, musicians, and stuff. So it's like you. She has them on her profile of, like, oh, Taylor Swift or John Mayer. Like, all this. And the John Mayer ones are sick. Like, I'm like, this is what I'm talking about. Like, if we're nowhere to get a John Mayer tattoo, I'm not saying, like.
Fran
He'S not getting a tattoo.
Rhea
I know he's not getting a tattoo. I know he's not getting a T tattoo. I know he's not getting a tattoo. I know he's not getting. They were cool. If you ever, at any point in your life wanted to. Yeah, they were really cool designs. I was like. I was like, do I want a job? Maker tattoo? These were sick, right?
Fran
You know, design anything.
Noah
Do you remember what they were or, like.
Rhea
Yeah, they're all, like, notes, like, song titles and picture form kind of thing. Yeah, they were really cool.
Noah
He has really cool tattoos. I said this when I was younger. Like, really young. I. I used to wear the permanent marker, draw his tattoos on my arm. Little weird looking back.
Fran
But, hey, you were inspired.
Noah
I just wanted to be a rock star.
Fran
No, exactly. I don't think it's weird. We all did stuff like that.
Rhea
I don't think it's weird either. Yeah.
Fran
Yeah. I haven't written off more tattoos, but I have no desire to get more at the moment.
Rhea
Right. I kind of feel like when it pops up, it pops up.
Fran
It does. I haven't gotten it since 2021.
Rhea
Yeah. Like, I'm not somebody that's like, oh, my God. I have a long list of ideas, and I want to do this, and I want to do that, but when the opportunity presents itself and I feel like, oh, I really like that. I'm down.
Fran
Yeah, that's true.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I just kind of ran out of spots that I wanted, so, yeah, that's kind of where I'm at.
Rhea
That's kind of how I felt because I was like, I have this one here on my left. And then I was like, oh, if I do flow, I was like, oh, I Still want to keep it, like, in that region. So I was like, I'll keep that here. But now it's. Now I would definitely also be like, oh, where.
Fran
Where else?
Rhea
A girl. Oh, my God. A girl was in the tattoo parlor.
Fran
Yeah, it is a parlor. What you call. Yeah, the shop.
Rhea
The tattoo shop. And she was so cute. She was Italian, Sicilian. There. Her whole family were all speaking Italian. And she was getting, like, a big. A big situation on her elbow. And I thought to myself, what a painful place to get a tattoo. Like, anytime it is right on the bone, like, God, that hurts. And then you're just. Your elbow is such a Right on your funny bone. I said, oh. I was watching her get it in the chair. She was like. She was kind of dying. Her mom had a fan. It was fanning her face.
Fran
Wow. Yeah, that's.
Noah
People, even with sleeves, like, usually avoid that. Like, something. You'll see.
Rhea
Yeah, you'll see, because it's just.
Fran
You're like, oh, it's a tough area. Ouch.
Rhea
Ouchy.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Yep, yep, yep, yep. Exactly.
Noah
So how long did that take?
Rhea
Five minutes.
Noah
That's great.
Fran
Yeah, baby.
Noah
And on a scale of 1 to 10 in pain.
Rhea
Oh, I don't think it's that bad. I mean, it really does depend on the spot. Like, the one on my ankle hurt way more, but also, it's like. It's a way thicker. It's, like, colored in. The numbers are thicker. This one, it's just like, the. The thin ones. I really don't think it's that bad. I mean, it's like a three and a half on the pain. Like, it's never. Like, I get a little sweaty. And sometimes, like, if it hits a certain. A certain area, I'll be like, ooh. But it's not like I'm not dying by any means.
Fran
Yeah, I would say probably my back hurt the most. That was the first one I got, so.
Rhea
Yeah, right.
Fran
But the lightning ball was like, nothing, nothing, nothing. And my finger really didn't hurt either.
Noah
My main worry would just be that they, like, mess something up, and then I'm stuck with that because I'm like, ocd, where I need everything to be perfect.
Fran
Yeah, they're perpetuating.
Noah
If it's, like, a little off, I'd.
Rhea
Be like, yeah, no, they're really, really good. You're rarely. Do you. I mean, that's why you do your research also. And you go somewhere and you find someone. Especially if it's like. If that's what you really care about. You go to you know?
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Reputable person. But it's also like, it's creator era error if you give it just like Gia has a botched Mac Miller tattoo. That I think is so funny.
Noah
Yeah, See, that's like.
Rhea
It's just. Yeah, it's just. It's just wrong. Like, it's like a flip. Yeah, it's just flipped the wrong way. So it's just like, it's just. It's just wrong. Hey, the design is just wrong.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
I would treat it like a haircut where like, ye. Yeah.
Fran
You.
Noah
You look in the mirror and you're. You hate it.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
But you're just like, wow. No, it's great.
Fran
Thank you.
Rhea
I was used to it. It's not like it. It's. It's not wrong in a way that if anybody saw it, they immediately be like, woof.
Fran
Right?
Rhea
Like, that's shitty. You know, like, it's not like an immediate. You look at it and you honestly would think it's something else. Like, you just wouldn't know what it is.
Fran
Probably there's some shitty tattoos out there, but that's not one of them.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
What was it? Love island, where everyone was like, these are the worst tattoos ever.
Fran
Oh, yeah, it was Austin.
Rhea
Yeah. There were some bad ones.
Noah
Honestly, like, all of them.
Rhea
I saw. I saw this dad on the beach over the summer that I was just like, you know, live your life. But he's like running after his little kids and he had like a giant naked lady tattooed on his back. And I was like, you know?
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
I wonder if you regret that one.
Fran
He went through something.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
And that made him end up in that. In that position to get that like a.
Rhea
Like a straight up naked woman, like, kneeling, like on his back. I was like. And you're like chasing your three year old daughter around.
Fran
No, absolutely not. No, no, no, no, no.
Rhea
Or I went, huh?
Fran
What led you down that path?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
To the parlor.
Rhea
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. So. But no, we had. We had a lovely time. It's great. Great sibling bonding.
Fran
That's amazing. Just for. For our sweet over after.
Rhea
Yeah, we had a little Dancing with the Stars watch party.
Fran
We did.
Rhea
We had dinner. Noah, let me tell you, sir, you missed out. You really missed. Like, it was potentially one of the better tomato soups I've had in my life.
Noah
Wow.
Fran
She was raving about it.
Rhea
I had seconds, like, I had a full pot of like a full bowl of soup, and then a second full.
Fran
I was like, give me, give me, give me.
Rhea
And then a second full bowl of soup. Which, let me tell you, when I got home, didn't feel great. Two giant bowls of soup.
Fran
You had a lot of. You had a lot of soup.
Noah
Tomato soup. Like, does that make you go to the bathroom?
Rhea
No. I mean, it depends on how much cream or anything you put in it. Right.
Fran
There was a very minimal amount of cream in there.
Rhea
It was fantastic.
Fran
Ah, thank you.
Rhea
It led, like, right. The right amount of seasoning. And I told you, too. I said this. It was all fresh. Yeah.
Fran
I didn't use canned tomatoes.
Rhea
No, no, no. It was the right amount of. It was the right consistency, too. Like, it wasn't a tomato soup that you feel like you're drinking a broth, which makes you sometimes think you're literally drinking tomato sauce.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
It had, like, a. A little thickness to it. That really just was so good.
Fran
No, let me tell you, there's nothing that brings me more joy than making people's stomachs happy like that.
Rhea
Yeah, it was. And a great girl. I mean, it's funny. The tomato soup really took the stage. Yeah. But the grilled cheese was also fantastic with it. But the tomato soup was really the star for me.
Fran
Grilled cheese was just straight down the middle. Grilled cheese, like. Like, you know, standard. Good.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
The spot.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But, God, watching your reaction to that soup, it made me so happy. I thought, yeah, I nailed this one. It was my first time making tomato soup, so you never know.
Rhea
There was just a little bit left in the pot, which made up my second bowl. But Matt was cleaning the kitchen. He was like, oh, should I save this? I was like.
Fran
I was like, come here.
Rhea
I was like, bring that pot over here. Pour it straight into my bowl. I will eat it.
Fran
That was amazing. And then she finally got her chocolate chip banana bread as well. I did.
Rhea
I did. Which was also fantastic.
Fran
Yeah. The chocolate chip banana bread was. Yeah. The luggage tag's still here. I wonder if. Yeah. I wonder if it'll make its way to the room.
Rhea
I'll take it home. Don't worry. I'm taking it home.
Fran
It's all right. You hate the gift. Sorry. It doesn't matter. As long as you like the tomato soup.
Rhea
I love it.
Fran
And the chocolate.
Rhea
Wait till you see that tag on my suitcase when we get to the airport on Saturday.
Fran
Well, I'll be jumping for joy. I'll be very.
Rhea
Wait until you see.
Fran
I'll be thrilled to see it. All right, let's get into the rest of this show so we can go to our same but different dinner reservations. Yeah, we are gonna. We are Going to be talking about Taylor Swift going on Jimmy Fallon. Laguna beach is reuniting in 2026 on the Roku channel. To celebrate the 20th anniversary, Leonardo DiCaprio appeared on New Heights. I was literally stunned by this. Like, genuinely. It was. I. The way.
Rhea
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. My foot is so asleep. Oh, my God.
Fran
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. Are you okay?
Rhea
Yeah. You know when it starts tingling? Oh, I did that the other day. Where are we flying from? Savannah. The other day where I stood up and I didn't realize. How you ever do this on a plane where you don't. You don't realize your foot's asleep.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
You stand up to walk to the bathroom and you straight up fall over.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah. Like, I. I almost fell face first in the aisle.
Fran
Yes.
Rhea
And I had to, like, grab the backs of the seats to, like, stop me from falling. And I was like, oh, that's the worst. And then I limped my way to the bathroom because then you can't, like.
Fran
Sit back down and you gotta shake your foot out. Yeah.
Rhea
Oh, my God. Sorry. That just, like, really took over my body.
Fran
It was Leonardo DiCaprio and Benicio del Toro on New Heights. And I. I genuinely had such a crazy reaction to this. I just never expected it. Yeah, I'll get into it. I'm gonna save my thoughts. Rihanna and ASAP welcome their baby girl, Rocky. So cute. Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun were seen out at John and Vinny's. And we have a Dancing with the Stars recap. So let's get into the rest of the show. I love using Batiste dry shampoo on my hair, especially when I get a blowout. I have a blowout right now, and I can make it last for days on end. When I use a dry shampoo, it's award winning. It's the number one dry shampoo in the world and the US it's instantly refreshing your hair. It absorbs oil and grease for a cleaner look and feeling hair with added volume and texture. So not only is it refreshing, but it's adding the volume, it's adding the texture. It's making it look like you just got a nice fresh blowout, even if it's a couple of days old. It's great on your hair and it's easy on your wallet. And Batiste works better than the next leading competitor and brands that cost up to two times more. So buy Batiste dry shampoo online or in store at your nearest retailer. I want to start off with Leonardo DiCaprio and Benicio del Toro on New Heights. Because we were sitting on my couch when this. When the news struck on Instagram and you said, oh, my God, Leonardo DiCaprio is going on New Heights. I genuinely almost fell over. Like, one of. And I will admit this, one of my toxic traits is loving Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah, I think it is. I think it is a toxic.
Noah
Why is that toxic?
Rhea
I think it's toxic.
Noah
He's one of the best actors ever.
Fran
No, no, but it's because it's like he's kind of like, why?
Rhea
Because like, we're dating this.
Fran
Yeah. Like, it's a little like.
Rhea
Yeah. But let me tell you, you're not the only.
Fran
You know, I know.
Rhea
You know, that's not. I think if that's a toxic trait, then I think a lot of women.
Fran
Have to objectively have the same toxic dream. I know, but I like, like, here's.
Rhea
Like, I get what you're saying.
Fran
Watch anything that man does or. Or is in. And I can't help myself.
Noah
But it's also like, is it weird that he's like, however old and he's dating like these kind of. But like, no one's ever said anything bad about him that he just has.
Rhea
No, but it just like, it's just like, like morality wise. In our heart of hearts, we're just like, something's a little off. If he doesn't date anyone over the age of 25. The toxic trait. Maybe it does fall into a toxic trait of just thinking, like, when you love celebrity like that you want to believe the best in them. Like, you know, you love them that much.
Fran
Right. I think it is a little bit.
Rhea
Of a tough down. You're like, but, you know, if anybody I knew in my real life just continue to get older and only dated really young girls, I'd be like, what's your deal?
Noah
But they're not Leonardo DiCaprio.
Rhea
No, it's just like, I think anytime you would hear, it's like, that's his thing. You're like, well, well, why not someone age appropriate, you know?
Fran
Right, right. Yeah, that's how I feel. And I feel like it is a little bit because it makes me think.
Rhea
Like, oh, is he kind of turned? Like, is he becoming a little dirty dog?
Fran
Yeah, like, he's a little dirty grandpa.
Rhea
He's only getting older. He is.
Fran
He is.
Rhea
And the girls stay the same.
Fran
As the lyric goes Dazed and Confused.
Rhea
There'S a Taylor Swift lyric I'm thinking of.
Fran
Really? You're not thinking of Dazed and Confused?
Rhea
No, I was thinking of all too well, 10 minute version. 10 minute. I hope I'm right.
Fran
I'm thinking of all two girls stay the same age. Isn't that the Dazed and Confused quote?
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
Like. Like, I get older, I get older.
Fran
The thing I love about high school girls is I get old, older, and they stay the same age.
Rhea
That is. That is correct.
Noah
Taylor also says that.
Rhea
No, no.
Noah
She say the thing I love about high school.
Rhea
She doesn't say that.
Fran
Girls I get older. The girls say the same age. That is Daz and confused. Right. And is that Matthew McCon?
Noah
I honestly have never watched Days and Confused.
Rhea
You've never seen Days and Confused?
Noah
Not, like, in its entirety.
Rhea
God, I hate when I try and search something on my phone and the stupid thing pops up to sign into my Gmail. Yeah.
Noah
Stays in confused.
Fran
Is it Matthew McConaughey saying it?
Noah
Yeah.
Rhea
Oh, maybe I'm not.
Fran
You actually hit it.
Rhea
Maybe I'm wrong.
Fran
Word for word. Bar. For bar. Like, it was, like, almost exact.
Rhea
Oh. Oh, I. This is what I'm thinking of. The lyric where she says, and I was never good at telling jokes, but the punchline goes, I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age. That's.
Fran
That's.
Rhea
That's, like what I was.
Fran
She got that from dazing Confused, right?
Rhea
Right. Well, probably not, but, you know.
Noah
Yeah, I think she did.
Rhea
But, I mean, the sentiment is there, obviously.
Fran
Yes.
Rhea
For. For all. For all sides.
Fran
Yeah. So that's like, when it comes to Leonardo DiCaprio, that's how I feel.
Rhea
It's like.
Fran
But also, I will watch anything that man is in. I will watch any movie. I will watch any show. I'll watch any podcast. Like, I'm, by the way, saving a lot of it because I want to really enjoy, like, that's how much I really enjoy Leonardo DiCaprio.
Noah
Well, for the movie, but I want to listen to the podcast just because I feel like I've never heard him, like, speak.
Fran
Speak.
Rhea
That. Let me tell you, it was wild. It was. I watched it already. It's wild just to hear him be like, hey, Jason. Hey. Like, calling other people by their first names. Like, that threw me off.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Like, him being like, hey, Jason. Hey, Travis. What's up, guys?
Fran
He also has such a distinct voice that I really enjoy listening.
Rhea
He does. He does.
Noah
Rose.
Fran
Yeah. Like in Wolf of Wall street. It's extra distinct, and I love it.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It's a great interview. It's a great interview. But, yeah, it is. It's just funny. It's really like New Heights has become the. The stop for every, like, everybody on there. It feels like every A list actor on their PR tours, they're like, make sure you put me on new rights.
Noah
It was funny, though. I saw Travis Kelsey asking one question where I was like, oh, so Paul Thomas Anderson, like, he directs and, like, writes and, like, so what makes you, like. It was just kind of the way he phrased the question was just like a football guy asking about movies where.
Rhea
It'S like, yeah, yeah.
Noah
So what makes you want to work with this guy?
Rhea
He also writes, like, yeah, it was still very much. Was like, they are sports guys. I mean, it's a football podcast, so it's still their way of, like, talking about the acting. There was a lot of comparisons to, you know, football team and coaches to, like, acting and directors and how coaches treat you and how directors treat you and, like, conversations like that. They have biggest sports moments that they've been at, like, things like that.
Noah
He said he was at the Jordan game.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah. It's actually. I mean, Leo, I'm sure is always has seen some incredible ones, but he, you know, he did say that he was almost Lenny Williams.
Fran
He was almost Lenny Williams.
Rhea
They wanted him to change his name because an agent told him his name was too. Too ethnic and he wasn't going to get any jobs.
Fran
Us actors, we heard that a lot.
Rhea
Yeah. Lenny Williams was not. Lenny Williams was. Leonardo DiCaprio was not gonna play. And they. And thank God his dad stepped in.
Fran
Thank God. One of the most beautiful names, the most notable names of all time is Leonardo DiCaprio.
Noah
Yeah, it sounds like he should have been a painter, like, 300 years ago, right?
Fran
Yeah. No, he was born famous with that name. If you have the name Leonardo DiCaprio.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
You are. You can't just be any. No Joe Schmo on the street. That's not going to work. So it all panned out for. It all panned out for Leo.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
And he said that he would go to, like, they. They used to do this, like, cattle calls where everyone, like, would line up and it would be like, no. Yes, yes, yes, no. And he said every time he showed up, it would just no. And then everyone else would get a yes about, you know, if. If.
Noah
Yeah.
Fran
To have an agent or not.
Noah
And I saw one clip where he was saying he was glad he didn't take. I don't know if it's from this podcast, but that he was glad he didn't take a role at a young age that would have been like a big money thing. But I think he stuck with, like, what's eating Gilbert Grape? But people were saying that he was supposed to mean Hocus Pocus. Is that real? Or that he might have been cast.
Rhea
For a long time. I'm not sure if that real or not. But that's. I've seen that. I've seen people say that.
Noah
Yeah.
Rhea
100 that. They said, like, a young Leo would have been the main kid.
Noah
Yeah.
Rhea
In Hocus Pocus, which obviously would have been different.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
But no. And then. And Minicio del Toro also had a very similar story. They said he wanted him to be Benny Dell.
Noah
That kind of. Is cooler.
Rhea
Benny Dell is kind of sick.
Fran
But Benicio Del Toro is also like.
Rhea
Yeah, no. Yeah, exactly.
Fran
It's the same thing that happened with me.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I swear to God that did happen. But I know nobody believes me. Nobody cares about my childhood acting stories, even though it made up a majority of my life. But that's all right.
Rhea
You would have been Rhea Michelle.
Fran
They did want me to be Rhea Michelle before Leah Michelle.
Rhea
Well, I.
Fran
To be was a thing.
Rhea
Right, Right.
Fran
But it was before Lea Michelle was.
Rhea
Probably around the same time Lea Michele was being told the same thing.
Fran
Right. Yeah. Because they said that my name was too, you know, ethnic was also the word they used, actually, at the time. My parents literally called me last night, talk about it. I said, I know. I know, folks. I remember. And they were thinking, maybe Rhea Michelle. And I didn't change it. I stuck with it.
Rhea
And you know who changed it?
Fran
Lea Michele. Cause she was Lea's body. Yeah. Maybe. I'm happy where I'm at. Something now. I'm happy where I'm at. Honey. No, we wouldn't be us.
Rhea
I don't. I. Let me tell you, I don't know who Ria Michelle is, and I don't know if I like her.
Fran
Ria Michelle sounds like the porn star version of Leah Michelle. Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah. You know, right? Michelle sounds like she'd be a massive, huge. Yeah.
Fran
But look at us. A bit of a diva probably. Probably can't read either.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But here we are on this show, having a blast and being friends for optics.
Rhea
Yeah. Taking it all.
Fran
Faking it all to get there to the job and. But not our names.
Rhea
No.
Fran
Yeah. So I need to continue watching this. This show because how am I to sit here and say how much I love you, Leonardo DiCaprio and then not.
Noah
I really do want to see that.
Fran
I do, too.
Noah
I might go tomorrow, but it's, like, sold out everywhere.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Should we go Saturday night in Florida? I mean, I would maybe now. Fran doesn't want to go.
Rhea
I wouldn't do that on Saturday. Love you guys, but no.
Noah
People are fucking.
Fran
What else you got to do Saturday night?
Noah
Besides, who are you hanging out with?
Rhea
Yeah, it's just the three of us. I just don't know if I want to, like, venture to a movie. Like, we don't have a car. Like an adventure to a movie.
Noah
The Uber. Right away.
Rhea
And we're kind of. It's not like, really close. Like, I think if we looked it up, I think we wouldn't find a movie theater close.
Fran
Forget it. We won't go. Yeah, it's okay. Maybe Friday night.
Rhea
Yeah, I'll look like it's opening weekend. This weekend.
Noah
I know.
Rhea
So you're kind of out alert. You should have probably bought those tickets way earlier.
Noah
But, like, imax.
Fran
The Wicked trailer.
Rhea
Kind of forgot about that.
Fran
Cynthia Rivo has Lord Vodmouth.
Rhea
Yeah, that's also a rumor on the Internet right now. That's gonna play.
Fran
I don't. I don't even know what word just came out of my mouth.
Rhea
Voldemort.
Fran
Lord Voldemort. Do you want to go to that Harry Potter thing in Singapore so badly? Because somebody messaged me saying we should do it. And, like, we get wands and we.
Rhea
Like, complete the spells. It's very interactive. Yeah. If we have time. If we have time. I just don't know how. Well, here's the thing. We gotta wait for some more details.
Fran
So we can map out right.
Rhea
How far it is.
Fran
Yeah. I don't know.
Noah
Singapore isn't that big from what I'm hearing and understand.
Rhea
No, it's very small.
Noah
But nothing should be, like, too, too far.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll just. We'll see. We'll see. I do want to do though. But yeah, wait, we got to talk about the Wicked trailer for a second.
Fran
Yes, we do.
Rhea
Amazing.
Fran
I'm very excited.
Rhea
I should. I welled up.
Fran
Good.
Rhea
As soon as you hear the beginning of. Because I knew.
Fran
Did you see Bo and Yang drinking with Seth Meyers?
Rhea
Yes.
Fran
And he said that they killed Ariana Grande. The second part.
Rhea
Yeah, I saw. Let me tell you something. There are certain late night, like sketches, whatever you want to call them, skits that they do that will get me every single time. That I will just. No matter what, no matter who's doing it, I'm like, yes, watch immediately. Because they're always fantastic. And one of those is the day drinking with Seth Meyers.
Fran
1,000%.
Rhea
Every single time he does that segment and that video. It is a plus.
Fran
So good.
Rhea
Every single time. So Bowen and Matt Rogers did it and it was hysterical.
Fran
It was so good.
Rhea
But. Yeah. And then Seth wore that for that sequence.
Fran
It's so funny. It was so good.
Rhea
It really is. But it really is funny.
Fran
Sorry, I keep sidetracking us.
Rhea
No, no, no.
Fran
I'm sorry. You know, I keep sidetracking the conversations, but we were talking about the Wicked trailer, and I'm excited for this because I am so much less familiar with the second part of Wicked than I am in the first. I think a lot of people feel that way.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Even though when you go to see Wicked, you see both parts.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
For some reason, the first part really sticks with you.
Rhea
No, totally.
Fran
And the second one doesn't.
Rhea
I. I think I actually have felt that way every single time. And I've seen Wicked multiple times. Where? Like, the last. Even, like, the last time I went into it, I was like, how does this thing end? Like, yeah, you know, like, you just kind of. There's bits and pieces that you forget. But I am very excited to see how they conclude the whole thing. I did see some people a little upset about quote, unquote, spoilers because it's like, if you're unfamiliar with the story, you don't fully know everything. Don't give me shit about spoilers when.
Fran
It comes to Wicked.
Rhea
I know, I know. But I saw people saying that, like, because a certain actor who played spongebob on Broadway posted a picture of his character in Part two. You know what I'm talking about? But some people, I guess, don't. So they were like, oh, what the heck? You know, they don't know that that's a thing that happens.
Fran
Right. Okay.
Rhea
And then it's immediately in the trailer.
Fran
So they're just not familiar with.
Rhea
Which kind of just made them blame him. Because it's like, if you watch the trailer, you wouldn't necessarily know that that's him.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
But he posted the picture.
Fran
So they're just not familiar with the story of, like.
Rhea
Yeah, I don't think. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And, like, how they're related and how, like, Wicked and the wizard of Oz related kind of thing.
Fran
You would have to have done zero research.
Rhea
Zero. Zero. Yeah. Zero. Absolutely. Zero.
Fran
I'm not trying to shade people, but that's. You would have to have not read.
Rhea
A single thing, literally no clue about.
Fran
Wicked and Wizard of Oz.
Rhea
And maybe people do that on purpose. They are like, hey, I really want to fly blind. Into this.
Fran
That's fair, then. That's fair.
Rhea
But, God, I'm so excited for it. And just hearing that's that. Also the parts of no Good deed. Oh, my God.
Fran
Yeah, sing it, honey.
Rhea
Sing it. Feeling super nasally today. So usually you would sound better not quite hitting the notes. Honey, I wish I was.
Fran
I know that you would sound better, but can you hit the note that is. This is not wicked.
Rhea
Sorry.
Fran
Sabrina Carpenter. When did you get hot all of a sudden? The riff before that. The transition. Can you hit that?
Rhea
No.
Fran
I have faith that you can.
Rhea
No. Anything too high, I lose it. If it's a nice low. Something low, you know, sometimes it's not too bad, but for that, no. But I was walking Olive all day yesterday just hearing that, like, that one part was playing in my head over and over and over again. And so they say people come into our lives for a reason.
Fran
Chills. It's coming out the week before Thanksgiving, so that's very exciting, because then we'll have Thanksgiving to be able to, like.
Rhea
Yep, yep.
Fran
Listen to the soundtrack and all that.
Rhea
Really just let it.
Fran
You think they'll be a part of the Thanksgiving parade?
Rhea
Oh, yeah.
Fran
They were. Last year, Cynthia did sing.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
I remember playing the Wicked soundtrack while cooking last year.
Rhea
Yeah. I'm really just already gunning for them to win awards, and if they don't, I'll be upset. Like, it's like, I was not upset through the last award season because I was like, well, they're saving it for part two. Like, they'll. You know. They're saving it for part two. Really, It's.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
And now, like, part. They better give it to them for part two, you know, because then it's like, you went for part two. It's kind of like waiting for part one because it's cumulative, so.
Fran
But instead, all the awards went to Amelia Perez. Yep.
Noah
Oh, my God. I forgot about that movie.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Yep. Correct.
Fran
That's what was happening.
Rhea
I really forgot about that.
Fran
That is really. This year has. Has had so much go on.
Rhea
It's going by. Yeah.
Fran
They're filming. Need the Fockers right now, though.
Rhea
Yeah. Were they filming it?
Fran
I think around these part. New York, New Jersey.
Noah
They were. Yeah. Ben Stiller was spotted. I think it was, like, Westchester, maybe.
Fran
Yeah.
Noah
Somewhere filming.
Rhea
See them doing. I could see them filming in, like, Maplewood or something.
Fran
So is Ben Stiller not going to be a part of Severance?
Noah
He's not directing it, but he's, like, involved.
Fran
Oh, it's involved. Producer credit.
Noah
I'm sure. He's still, like, going to be. I think Adam Scott was talking about. He was like, he's still going to be very much involved.
Fran
Right.
Rhea
I just think he can't, like, direct the episode. Like, he doesn't have. It doesn't.
Noah
Kind of seems crazy where, like, if I was Ben star, I'd be like, that's my baby. Like, I. I don't want to just like.
Rhea
Yeah, but if he has got, you know, if he's got some big project or something that he's really excited for, you know, Meet the Fockers directing. Yeah.
Noah
That's not what it was, though.
Rhea
I thought directing. Excuse me, He's.
Noah
I thought it was like a gangster.
Fran
Yes. Starring alongside Ariana Grande in the new Meet the Fockers movie.
Rhea
Very important directing. Those move. Those episodes too. I was. Got to be pretty grueling, I would say, just like, schedule wise, they filmed for a pretty long time, so.
Noah
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rhea
But yeah, that totally forgot that we were about to. We were about to do this whole episode and not mention the Wicked trailer. What a disaster. That.
Fran
That would have been really.
Rhea
I would have been really disappointed in myself.
Fran
Same. Because when I woke up this morning, I said to myself, remember, Wicked trailer?
Noah
Nobody wants this trailer too.
Fran
Yeah, I did see that. Yeah. I wish that was coming out sooner.
Rhea
I know it's really only a few weeks, but. It does. I know, But I love October 23rd. Feels way farther.
Fran
It does. And.
Rhea
Ooh, that'd be good for us. Yeah.
Noah
It's the first show of our tour.
Fran
It is reminder. Go buy tickets. Can't wait to see you guys. All right, moving on. Taylor Swift will be going on Jimmy Fallon now. I think that this is the first time in a long time that Taylor Swift is making sort of her rounds.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fran
Small but big way.
Rhea
Right?
Fran
And she's going on Jimmy Fallon, which is big.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
The album's coming out soon. Very soon.
Rhea
Yeah, next week.
Fran
Yeah, next week.
Rhea
Next week. It's crazy that she gets like the announcements just that she's going to do press are massive announcements, you know.
Fran
That is true. Like, it's like we're announcing that she's going on Jimmy Foul.
Rhea
Yeah. Like, it's not.
Noah
There's no Jimmy found Filmed a whole promo.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah. I mean, as you do. But it's the same thing as, like when she announced when it was came out that she's going on Graham Norton show. It's like, like, oh, my God, this is huge. She's doing Graham Norton. Now we know. Oh, my God. This is huge. She's doing Jimmy Fallon.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
It's just like each. The announcement of her just going to do an interview is huge.
Fran
Yes, it is.
Rhea
I'm really hoping they ask some questions about the engagement. Oh, I think just like to hear her perspective.
Fran
I think they totally.
Rhea
I hope they do and I think they will, and I think she'll allow it because it's like such a happy and fun thing to talk about. And I'm sure she'd be ecstatic to talk about it because sometimes I, I'm. I'm sure that tree is very stern on the, like, crossing the line of, like, personal questions and all those things. But in this case, I'm sure it's like you can ask about the engagement. Yeah, she's really excited about it and wants to talk about it.
Fran
You know, that's how she would say it too. I think she's very excited about this.
Rhea
She's really excited about the engagement. So you can ask one question about it.
Fran
Yeah, I totally can see that.
Rhea
But like, nothing about wedding planning or anything like that, but just like how she feels about the game.
Fran
And then if Taylor wants to bring up wedding planning herself, then she does that herself stuff. So.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
That is exciting. I'm excited to see that and excited for that.
Rhea
There's not quite much more to add to that because like we said, we're. We're announcing that she announced that she is going on a talk show to announce her new outfit.
Noah
Yeah. How many segments on the show you think it's like the Taylor Swift show, like, or Jimmy Fallon doing like 10 minutes with her and she's gone and there's other guys.
Rhea
I bet she does a couple things.
Noah
Yeah.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
She's like doing a game with Jimmy.
Fran
Yeah. I think if she's doing it, she's doing it.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Doing it.
Noah
Maybe Travis will dirty rock for that.
Rhea
For sure.
Fran
Yeah. That's gonna be a tight. That's gonna be a tight ship.
Rhea

Moving on. Rihanna and ASAP. This was huge because this week, you know, their interviews were coming out that they were thinking, oh, maybe, you know, Rihanna says she's hoping it's baby girl asaps. Hoping it's a baby girl. Little do we know they already gave birth.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
To a beautiful baby girl named Araki. So cute. Rihanna got the girl that she was waiting for, you know, that she wanted a little baby girl. And now they are happy with three beautiful children now. Two little boys and a girl. And I'm so happy for them. I just. Yeah, it's just like, you know when a couple that you just always wanted to be together and then they get together and they have all these babies and they're so happy.
Rhea
Yes.
Fran
I love them. So happy.
Rhea
Absolutely obsessed with naming her Rocky. I mean, obviously it's right there in front of you. You know, it's like a Nothing crazy. It's. We all probably could have guessed that one.
Fran
No, because she could have. They could have went with Robin.
Rhea
No, for sure. For sure.
Fran
You know what I mean?
Rhea
Like, for sure. But it's so many options. No, it's so cool that it's just right there. It's just like, oh, Even if people were trying to guess, like, oh, you know, it'd be really cool if she named her daughter Rocky. And then you're like. When she does it, you're like, yeah, that is really cool.
Fran
Yeah, that is. It is very cool.
Rhea
With an eye.
Fran
Yeah, change it up a little bit.
Rhea
Rocky with an eye.
Fran
Change it from Rocky.
Rhea
Yeah, but that's just Like, Rocky is.
Fran
Cool, but also Robin would have been cool too, because Rihanna doesn't go by Robin.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But I feel like they're like, Rocky's just very cool.
Rhea
I just think Rocky, for a girl's.
Fran
Name is actually Rocky, like Zendaya.
Rhea
Oh, is that her character's name in Shake it up and Shake It Up.
Fran
Cece and Rocky Up.
Rhea
Shake It Up. I almost said often I was like, that's not it.
Fran
Nah.
Rhea
I never really. I never really watched Shake It Up.
Fran
Shake It Up. I watched it a little bit. Yeah.
Rhea
But her character's name was Rocky.
Fran
I'm pretty sure.
Rhea
I just always think of There's. There's. I believe she's, you know, influencer, fashion designer. Rocky. Rocky Barnes is her name. Every time I see her name on. On Instagram, I'm like, that's cool name.
Fran
It is a cool name.
Rhea
Rocky Barnes is such a sick name. And now this. I mean, obviously, this is a sick name.
Fran
It is so sick.
Rhea
A really cool name. But, like, you have to have a certain type of last name to pull.
Fran
Off Rocky, you know, or you certain type. Like, just cool parents.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
You know what I mean? Like, her parents are so cool that her name being Rocky.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
Is cool.
Rhea
Right. What was her middle name?
Fran
Irish.
Rhea
Yeah, that's. What a name. It just really. That's just doesn't quite hit as hard, like. Yeah. Rocky Irish Mares. Rocky Mares. Sick.
Fran
So sick.
Rhea
Rocky Mariano. Not so sick.
Fran
Nah.
Rhea
Although Rock. Rocky Riley is kind of sick.
Fran
Rocky Riley is sick.
Rhea
Rocky Riley's a little porny, though, isn't it?
Fran
It is. Yeah. I didn't want to say that now.
Rhea
Once I said it out loud multiple.
Fran
Times, I was like, right. It's like Rocco Mariano and Rocky Riley, right? Yeah.
Rhea
Rocky Riley is. Yeah, for sure.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Cute, though.
Fran
It is cute.
Rhea
Cute, though, but starts off cute, but.
Fran
Could get a little weird.
Rhea
For sure. For sure, for sure. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. That's fair. But huge. Congratulations to that love, that obsessed. She apparently was in, like, a ton of jewelry. What? Everyone was looking the picture. They're like, oh, my God, Rihanna gave birth in, like, $150,000 worth of jewelry. It's like, yeah, no shit. You.
Fran
Yeah, it's amazing. Like, I. I don't expect anything less. And they're so fucking cool. And ASAP's been doing interviews and stuff, and he always cracks me up. I just love the two of them, and I'm so happy for them. So freaking happy. Laguna beach is reuniting. They're Having a big reunion in 2026 on the Roku Channel. I think it's gonna be about like a two hour reunion, celebrate the 20th anniversary. Everybody's aboard, everyone's doing it. And Stephen Coletti, Kristen Cavallari, Lauren Conrad will be executive producers of this reunion that they're doing. And it, you know, we haven't seen all these people together. We've seen a couple of reunions here and there. We on Zoom in 2020, they did one. Lauren did the podcast with Kristen Gavaleri and Stephen Coletti and we've seen a couple people, you know, get together maybe on Instagram, but as a whole, you know, the whole cast get together for this big reunion. Hasn't been done. So it's gonna be big for the 20th anniversary.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Yep.
Rhea
Two hour original reunion special will bring the cast together to commemorate 20 years since the series concluded. In celebration of the special gathering, they've even shared a throwback of the cast celebrating their prom together. That's the picture that they all posted. We know, like, Kristen has brought a lot of them all together. Like she brought some of the cast on stage during her tour last year, podcast tour last year. So they also talk. But as far as we knew, it was like, you know, Kristen and LC were not like hanging out in any sense.
Fran
I mean, the west, the hills ended on, you know, not on. Not a. Lauren on. Not a great deal with anybody.
Rhea
So I'm very interested to see how this goes. I'm interested to see if everybody else shows up. I know obviously those are the big three. Lc, Steven and Kristen Low. But I'm, I'm. That's who I'm really interested to see if she shows up or not.
Fran
I read that she will be there. Really? In the, in the article.
Rhea
I didn't see that.
Fran
Am I getting tricked again? I hope not.
Rhea
Oh, no. Oh, no. I mean, it does say, I would read that as they're all coming. It says for the first time since 2006, Conrad, Coletti, Cavallari, who all serve as executive producers on the project, will come together with Low, Bosworth, Talon, Trey, Christina, Dieter, Jessica and Alex to reflect on the series that forever changed the landscape of reality television.
Fran
Yes. Wow.
Rhea
I'm excited for that because I don't really know like, where Low. And some of them stand like, you never really see Low. Like hello and Elsie were so close and it kind of, it didn't necessarily. I wouldn't say like falling out.
Fran
No.
Rhea
But it did kind of seem like they were not super close anymore.
Fran
Maybe they had a falling out off screen.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
But they were so close on the Hills.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Like, it was always Lauren and. And.
Rhea
But like, the last 10 years, you never see them together.
Fran
No. You haven't seen a lot of them together besides Kristen and Stephen, but no.
Rhea
Yeah. So that's really what I'm interested in, too. That's.
Fran
Yeah, yeah. It's gonna be really good. I know. And it just. Anything like this just makes our hearts happy. You know anybody, like, who grew up on these shows. Yeah. This is what we love to see.
Rhea
And this is a really cute way to do it. It's not like, let's reboot. Let's do that. Let's do this. Like, let's. It's like, no, we want to hear you talk about the old show. Yes, we want to hear that. So, like, sit down and. And do, like, a full special on that.
Fran
Right. You know, you don't need. Like, when they tried bringing the Hills back and it was like, filming their lives. Like, we don't need that again. Yeah, we want you to talk about all the crazy that you guys did in high.
Rhea
In high school. In high school.
Fran
The fact that this was a high school reality show is insane.
Rhea
I know. And I think it's just because of, like, the age group that we fell into it when it was on tv. It's just like, they seem so old.
Fran
They did.
Rhea
Watching the show. They seem so cool. And even still, my friends and I joke about this now that even still, if we put on an episode of Laguna beach or, like, we're watching Luna beach, we still think they're older than us. We're, like, still watching it. I'm like, damn, that's crazy about that. And we're like, okay. No, they're literally 16. No, it's crazy.
Fran
It is so crazy. And they just were so cool, though.
Rhea
They were.
Fran
You're like, oh, my God. Like, I thought, like. Like, being in California and being a teenager was just the pinnacle of life.
Rhea
They really did. They really did. Like, reality TV really was shaped from a lot of that show.
Fran
So it was. I mean, high school. High school kids reality show. That's insane. So that's very exciting. And then before we get into the Dancing with the Stars recap, gotta talk about Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun out to eat at the John and Vinnies in Brentwood, California. I mean, like, really. No, seriously, like, I genuinely cannot just.
Rhea
Like, cut it out.
Fran
I can't comprehend.
Rhea
Hey, you two, cut it out.
Fran
Get a fucking room. Go. Don't go to the John and Vinny's in Brentwood. We don't want to see you there.
Noah
Right, right.
Rhea
Well, it's just also funny when it's like, oh, I don't care how much you love John and Vinny's. Like, you know you're going to be seen when you go to a place.
Fran
Like, that's such a popular spot. My thing is just like.
Rhea
Why?
Fran
What? Sydney Sweeney? Like, why? Genuinely why?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
You could go on a date with literally anybody. Okay. And you choose to date Scooter Brown.
Rhea
It's crazy.
Fran
It just doesn't add up to me.
Rhea
It doesn't. It's crazy seeing them in real life. Like, it's actually crazy. It's so.
Fran
It's bizarre.
Rhea
Photographic evidence of this is on.
Fran
Why am I getting so riled up about it?
Rhea
You are, but it's fair, you know.
Fran
Because I'm just weirded out by it. Right? I just. Because I'm just, like, really, like, out of all people, Sydney Sweeney. You know, sometimes when somebody gets a lot of hate, you. You. You wonder, like, does this person. You know, there's some unwarranted hate thrown their way, like, why is this person getting on? But then they do things like this, you know, and you're like, but then you choose to date Scooter Braun, you know, and it's just. You're like, why? Yeah, I just want to watch the housemaid without thinking about Sydney Sweeney's extracurricular activities with Scooter Broad and anything else she's doing, really, you know?
Rhea
Yeah. I don't. I don't blame you on that. I think seeing that it is still something that is going on, you know, you hear the words, oh, it's like they're seeing each other. It's casual, whatever. Enjoying their time. It's like, okay, well, now we're going on multiple months of this being a casual thing.
Fran
It's like, anybody. You could. You could date anybody, and you're choosing to date Scooter Braun.
Rhea
Right. And you know what? I think it also stems from somewhat of a place of jealousy of her. Of her. Because it's like, we are jealous of her in a sense, where it's like, not Danny. Scooter Braun. I feel like Scooter Bra. No, no. It's like, it's like, you. We get work. You get worked up. Because it's like, I want to shake this girl to be like, you could literally date anybody. Like, I. I'm not jealous of that.
Fran
I'm just more weirded out by it.
Rhea
Why? Why him? It's just like.
Fran
I think it's, like, disrespectful to yourself to date Scooter Braun.
Rhea
I just.
Fran
I don't understand. Yeah. You know, he doesn't have a good reputation.
Rhea
No. She doesn't give a shit, though, clearly. Which is, you know, also I kind of respect the way that she lives her life, because she really does seem like she does not give a shit what people say.
Fran
On the. Yeah. On the total opposite side of it, it's like. What's that like?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
You just don't care.
Rhea
Keeps doing. She keeps making money.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
She keeps racking in all the cash from these massive campaigns right there. She's getting roasted left and right. She's making big blockbuster movies, and she's like, yeah, whatever. I'll do, you know? Doesn't give a shit. That is true.
Fran
There is a side of it where you're like, yeah. What's it like having that brain? Yeah. You know what I mean?
Rhea
Yeah, I know.
Fran
I don't know. I just think that, like, really, whatever, you know?
Rhea
Fair.
Fran
All right, Going into the last topic, and this is more refreshing than Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney dating and being seen at John the Vinny's is Dancing with the Stars. Second week, double elimination. Because we didn't get elimination the first week.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
We saw two people go home. Baron Davis and Corey Feldman.
Rhea
Yep.
Fran
As well as the pros. And you called this one. I'm not gonna lie. You called this one right off the bat, actually, on Tuesday.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah. We were watching, and I think before. I think before the episode even aired, we was like, who do you think is gonna go home? I was like, baron and Corey.
Fran
You nailed it.
Rhea
And here's the thing. Like, you see people also get so sad because it is so sad to watch when they're sad about leaving first. Because, like, no one wants to be the first people eliminated. Corey. Sorry. Like, fine. I wasn't like, nothing about Corey made me think, like, if that was Andy instead of Corey, I would like, oh, yeah. But I felt it with Baron more too. And I was like, oh, Baron's getting better. Really? They're all getting better. What sucks is someone does have to go home. So there is that reality. It's probably gonna be who you think it is, and they're gonna be sad. But I start. I always think about it as, like, what's worse? It's like, do go. Going and doing it. Getting sent home first. Or, like, being the. The. The pity vote for multiple weeks until finally you're so far Worse than all the competition that you get sent home, you know, especially with someone who's like a competitor. Baron's an athlete's basketball player. Like, it's like you. I feel like you kind of understand that. But then it's also sad because they are competitors. So it's sad. It's sad anytime someone has to go home because clearly they. They love doing the show. But it was One Hit Wonder night.
Fran
Mm.
Rhea
So everyone danced to a One Hit Wonder song, which, let me tell you, the two of us, like, we could have been. That could have been a sketch on its own of every single time a song started playing. Rana going, damn, this is One Hit Wonder. I think we did it for every song.
Fran
At one point, Matt was in the kitchen and we were on the couch and we were just like going back and forth and he stopped and goes, this right here could be a show on its own. You two just commentating what's happening on the tv. He was like, whatever's going on between the two of you, your commentary, you know, it could work. I said, well, you know what we do, we do do that for a living.
Rhea
You know what? Enjoyable to watch the whole episode with you guys as well. Carrie Ann was back, which was nice. Two judges was not doing the. Was not cutting it. They need. They need three.
Fran
And then they did the one word for one of the judges for the One Hit Wonder stupid thing. Which took me too long into the episode to realize why they were doing that for the One Hit Wonder reasoning. And not just because they thought it was a new rule, because they were trying to save time, which I thankfully saw. Other people on TikTok had the same realization. They were like, oh, it was for the One Hit Wonder. Not well.
Rhea
Said it, like, really offhand, like, at the beginning of the show and then never brought it up again.
Fran
I was just like, what's going on? Halfway. I was like, what's happening? Why are they doing this?
Rhea
I would also like to reveal that as I was voting from Ria's couch, I informed Rhea that she was unaware that it's 10 votes per couple. Not you get 10 votes total. Because she saw me, you know, tapping for Alex. I'm going, alex, Alex, Alex. She's going, wow, you're using all your votes up on Alex. Like, Well, I have 10. I can vote 10 times. And you're like, yeah, all of them for alex. Like, no, 10 per star. I can get 10 for Alex. I can get 10 for Robert. I can get 10 for Laura. I can 10 for everybody.
Fran
This rocked. My world. And I know that this is stupid.
Rhea
Did I've seen other people say this, though? I have. What were some standout performances for you?
Fran
Jordan Chiles and Ezra were my number one of the week, for sure. They hit that jive, and they were incredible. They were so incredible.
Rhea
Like, I was like, wow.
Fran
Like, I was jaw dropping during that. I thought it was so good. Ezra really stepped up his choreography. I thought, I love them as a duo so much. I think they're a great pair. And they were my number one of the week, and then my number two was Whitney and Mark. Whitney.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Love it. Yeah. Is incredible. And she has that pizzazz.
Rhea
She does.
Fran
She's got that charisma.
Rhea
She has the stars star power. For sure.
Fran
She does. She has a ton of star power. She's whipping her hair around. She's sticking her tongue out. She's doing the splits. It's like, oh, my God, this star power radiating offer. Yeah, it was really, really great. I thought, listen, Aeladia, yeah, is good.
Rhea
She's a great dancer.
Fran
She's great.
Rhea
She's a great dancer. You know, there's nothing really much, you know, much more to say about that. I know that Dancing with the Stars is obviously gonna lean into the dramatics. Like, I feel like they're gonna. Even when she's not being sent home, they. They immediately put her in the bottom, you know, to be like, ooh, is she gonna be the one going home? Is she not?
Fran
Mm.
Rhea
Depending on how those. On how those votes go. But no, I agree with you for sure. Robert. Always just a. Just a breath of fresh air on the dance floor.
Fran
Is. He is so sweet.
Rhea
He really is. Love watching him dance. Very impressed that Danielle is, like, dancing with a fucking torn hamstring. I don't know. She was all over that picture that they showed of her leg. I was like, oh, these blood vessel pops. And looked like she is in a lot of pain. And she still had a great dance sense. So I'm very. I'm impressed. Anytime anyone on Dancing With a Star is like, fights through an injury and is still able to perform.
Fran
Yeah, it's incredible because, I mean, they go through so much every week. Their bodies are going through things that they've never done before, and so they're bound to have injuries. Alex Earl talked about losing her toenail and she's got bruises and the whole thing. I want to know your opinion on the discourse that's happening online about a lot of the pairings and the couples and people being upset with their partners and this and that. And there's rumors that people are just making up rumors that Val and Alex don't like each other. Where are they getting that from? It seems like to me that they're having a good time. Am I being naive?
Rhea
No, I don't think so. I think there was a. So I think there was a Page Six article, and I saw the clip as well, because Pete PETA does a podcast, and I think Max may have. Max, who is Val's brother, who is married to Pita, may have had, like, some sort of comment about things being a little more difficult for Jenna, which is totally fair. And I think that's something he actually said. But then, like, in the Page Six article, it was like, oh, and there's also something about Val and Alex. But, like, I don't think Max said that. I think they just threw that also into the article. But it kind of made it seem like Max said both things. Yeah.
Fran
Because it said an insider set.
Rhea
Yeah. So it kind of made it seem like both things. I mean, my God, they're good at faking it. Then if they're having issues, because from what we're seeing, it seems like they're totally fine and getting along. I mean, I think. I think anytime you're doing Dancing with the Stars, you're gonna have some tension with your partner, because it's really hard. It's really tough. And some of the pros are like, val can. I think Val can be, like, kind of intense and a little hard on his star from time to time, depending on the potential. Like, I think Alex has so much potential, so that's probably where most of it comes from. And I'm sure she understands that, too. And they seem to have a lovely relationship from what we see.
Fran
I think that they're having a lot.
Rhea
Of fun on there.
Fran
I'm loving their TikToks.
Rhea
The Jenna thing is a little more believable. Obviously, it's not.
Fran
You know, I could see Jenna going home being like, but, God, I have Corey Feldman, and I'm going home soon.
Rhea
Yeah. Even in the package, it was like, oh, it's kind of hard to keep him on track sometimes.
Fran
Right. And then even on TikTok, she was like, I haven't rehearsed with him. That was the first week. So I could totally see that. I think that people just. They read into everything, and, you know, oh, it's. Alex and Braxton break up. It's like, she's on Days with stars, he's in the football season. Like, I know. That's such an informers start and then.
Rhea
I know that's such a fortunate one. They're gonna. People kids on Tick Tock are gonna make that up every.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
Which is gonna be so stupid. But that's. I feel like any relationship where someone is big on Tick Tock, it's like if they're not seen with their significant other in like two weeks plus it's like they're broken up, people freak out.
Fran
And she's obviously gonna be with Val a lot. They're dancing together and. And their partners. And he's married to Jenna who's on the show. And that's his job. It's literally his job to.
Rhea
Braxton literally is on the Houston Texans right now.
Fran
Exactly. So totally different state. It's hard to. Hard to navigate that. But I want to talk about Dylan Efron a little bit.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Dylan, we were talking about this.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
When he like swivels his hips.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Looks fantastic. And then all of a sudden some goofy moves get thrown in there and you're like, is he the worst answer of all time?
Rhea
I think he.
Fran
It's a little bit of both.
Rhea
It is, it is. And he's got. I. I can tell, like he is learning and it's. And it's gonna get better. But there are moments, it's like flashes where it's like 10 seconds of the dance, you're like, holy shit. Fuck yeah, Dylan. Like, he's hitting it. And then another 10 seconds, it's like, oh, now this, this part doesn't feel too natural. It's like almost. He's really good at learning the choreography, but I think he's still really in his head about like hitting the steps. You know, I'm basically a judge on Dancing with the Stars and I trust.
Fran
Every word out of your mouth when you're talking about it. I. I look at you and I'm like, huh?
Rhea
Yeah. Let me tell you, I have zero ballroom Latin dance knowledge, except from what I've learned from Dancing with the Stars.
Fran
And you've learned a lot.
Rhea
And therefore I have self proclaimed myself an expert. So I'm like, you know, it's there, but it's just like, it's. It's very much the criticism that a lot of the pro. A lot of the stars get where it's like, you're. You're still in your head a little bit. But he is getting better. But yeah, there are some times when you're like, oh, wait, what's happening there? Like, he got very high scores though this week.
Fran
He did like, it's Sometimes you're like, that's fantastic. And the other times you're like, stop wiggling your butt like that. Right, right, right. You know, it's a little bit of a back and forth there.
Rhea
Yes, it is. But I love how much fun he seems to be having as well. And Danielle has such great choreography. I always love the dance.
Fran
It's so good.
Rhea
I said that to you. Even with. With Whitney and Mark, I was like, you know, you just luck out if you get Mark because his choreography is just so good.
Fran
It is fantastic. Whitney's my number one right now.
Rhea
I know, I know. I'm really rooting for her. She's so good.
Fran
After Jordan and Ezra's drive, they're up there too. For me, like, that was a spectacular drive. I thought, really, like, just so good. But I'm excited to keep watching. Double elimination. This is when the. This is when it starts.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
I feel like. Is when it.
Rhea
What was that? What's next week's theme? Do you remember what they said?
Fran
Tick Tock.
Rhea
Oh, Tick Tock night.
Fran
Yeah.
Rhea
I don't know how I'm gonna feel about that. Does that just mean it's gonna be Tick Tock songs? Yeah, but it's like, what even. What even? I think what falls in that category.
Fran
Songs that got really popular songs that.
Rhea
Are just like, popular on Tick Tock.
Fran
Like. Or like Ordinary by Alex Warren. Yeah, right, right, right. Sorry. Yeah, maybe like.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
Fair, fair, fair, fair. You know?
Rhea
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's that song that I'm thinking of? That's always.
Fran
Also, I saw Jenna Johnson say that they were gonna do Sugar on My Tongue. Corey Feldman and her. I think actually we're blessed that we're not seeing that.
Rhea
Yeah, that's for the best.
Fran
I don't think I would want to see Corey Feldman dance to Sugar on My Tongue by Tyler the Creator.
Rhea
That's for the best, for sure.
Fran
I think that's probably for the best. But some people will thrive in that, I bet. You know, Alex, Earl, they'll do something a little. She said she wants to do something a little out of the box, you know? Do they have to do Tick Tock night? Not necessarily, but I'm sure.
Rhea
Really.
Fran
I'm sure it's more about the song.
Rhea
Definitely. It's just funny because it's like when you lean into. When. It's just a classic example of when something's good and then you just really fucking lean into it. And then it's like, all right, now you're pushing a little bit Right. You know, it's like, oh, you guys are doing so well on Social. Everyone's talking about the show on Tick tock. So what do you do? Make a tick tock night. You know what everybody's gonna complain about on Tick Tock Tick tock night.
Fran
Yeah, exactly. That is so true. That's a great point.
Rhea
Like people are gonna go on tick tock and be like, why do we.
Fran
Do a tick tock night? 1,000%.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
Can we talk about Julianne Hough's commentary when she talked about Andy. Andy having a heart attack commentary. He's gonna have a heart attack.
Rhea
Yeah. Why?
Fran
Why is that necessary? Sometimes the guy just got off the dance floor. Probably heavy breathing as we all would be.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
And you're gonna tell him, oh, you made it.
Rhea
You know, there he commented, my God. Comments are saying you're gonna have a heart attack.
Fran
My God.
Rhea
Care to comment?
Fran
You okay? I was like, what the hell?
Rhea
I know, I know.
Fran
Sometimes that heart attack comment had me shook up.
Rhea
I know. Sometimes I do think that, God forbid, it is like stream of consciousness for her where it's like words just. You're like a teleprompter. No, I don't think so. I mean, I'm sure there are.
Fran
Yeah. Like a base cues.
Rhea
But at the same time, I don't know if everything's right now. I mean, when we were there, it didn't seem like there were obviously teleprompters, but up in the skybox. I don't know. Yeah.
Fran
Like Alfonso had a teleprompter.
Rhea
Yeah, up in the skybox. I don't know where. It's like, is she. Because when she asks a question, she's obviously getting an answer and then there's a follow up question depending on what the answer was. So that's obviously not going to be.
Fran
Like, you know, it's moving past. Or sometimes she says something where I'm.
Rhea
Like, yeah, I know, I know.
Fran
That one didn't need to be said the heart attack comment to Andy.
Rhea
Right.
Fran
That one could have been stayed up.
Rhea
Yeah, yeah.
Fran
Stayed up in the noggin.
Rhea
Definitely, Definitely. They're gonna do a wicked night too. Fantastic.
Fran
I think we might be going to.
Rhea
One of the nights. Yeah, I hope so. I really hope so. I'll go to. I mean, you know, we'll go to any of them, but hopefully one of the good. I don't, I don't think it's. I don't think it's gonna be wicked night. Just so right. You know, because me saying there's gonna be wicked night.
Fran
And then you saying like you're going.
Rhea
Makes it kind of sound like we're not a wicked night. I don't think we're not wicked night. Although I would love to go to wicked night. I've seen like my tick tock is full of people predicting like songs and stuff that they would want for which contestant for.
Fran
Yeah, that'd be epic.
Rhea
Yeah, absolutely would. But no, it was a good, it was a good episode and you know, I think the right people at this time went home.
Fran
I agree.
Rhea
Baron probably could have lasted another week for sure. Realistically, like Andy and Corey would have made the most sense. Andy and he's hamming it up. Like he, he's hamming it up. He's online, he's working, he's working for those votes and people don't work too hard. Yeah.
Fran
Might have a hard time.
Rhea
People love that. People love that energy. People love Emma. So it's just like it's, it's really. Unfortunately that's like what's gonna happen. I think Baron probably should have stayed a little bit longer, but that's.
Fran
Yeah. So we the cookie crumble now at this time with the way the voting works. You know, it is what it is but it's solid and excited for the competition to heat up into week three. All right, that wraps up the topics.
Rhea

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another game of Beatrie and Fran. This is game number 191, and we are joining joined by Ann, Thomas and Tyler. They were at our Nashville show last year. They are husband and wife. And Tyler was brought in because he came to our Nashville show and all of a sudden became a huge, big fan of us or of just Beat, Ray and Frame. But we'll take it regardless. Welcome to the show. We're very excited to play. Thank you.
Rhea
Amazing. So we're going to jump into it. Fifteen questions. If you get the question right, you get the point. If you get it wrong, the other team could steal the point. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. To determine who goes first, Noah's gonna give us a movie. We're gonna guess the Rotten Tomatoes critic score of that movie. Whoever's closest will go first. And we all get our own individual guess who alternate between teams for guesses. So, Noah, what is today's movie?
Noah
Today's movie is Wedding Crashers. Which part of me is like, I feel like I've maybe done that before, but at this point, it's been so.
Fran
Long that, yeah, I don't think we remember the score. So one of you will go first.
Noah
All right, I'm gonna say 78.
Rhea
Rhea.
Fran
I love this movie so much. I'm gonna go 92. A little bit lower.
Rhea
I'll say, like 64. 88.
Noah
78'S the closest at 75. Off to a hot side.
Rhea
I did like that 78 guess a lot.
Fran
Yeah, that was a great guess. Yep, he's off to a good start.
Rhea
Shit.
Noah
I did. When I said we were running late, he was like, more time to study. Okay, so question number one to Ann Thomas and Tyler, shout out Amanda. Which actress plays the character Autumn who appears at the very end of the movie? 580 or Summer?
Fran
He's tan.
Noah
Looks like the girl from Gossip Girl. It's not her. It's.
Fran
Oh, I got nothing.
Noah
I'm so bad at actresses names.
Fran
Oh, man.
Noah
15 seconds.
Rhea
Just throw out a guess.
Noah
Five seconds.
Rhea
I don't know.
Fran
I got nothing.
Noah
Okay, they're in France from context clues.
Fran
Is it Minka Kelly?
Rhea
Oh, yeah, it is. Okay, I would not have gotten that, but. But I didn't even. I could even think of who he was talking about.
Fran
Minka Kelly.
Rhea
Yeah. Yeah, it is. Final answer correct. Yeah.
Noah
You got that from what he was saying?
Fran
Yes. He said girl. It looks like the girl from Gosco. Not her. That would mean Leon Meester because they did the roommate together in which they Looked alike. And he also said tan. So then I got Blake Lively.
Noah
But you do remember her in it now.
Fran
No, I've never. Oh, you've never seen that movie from start to finish. I actually tried recently, and I. I thought it was so boring that I.
Noah
I love that movie.
Fran
Shut it off.
Noah
Okay. One. Nothing. Re and Fran, question number two. To them, shout out Riley from Michigan in the King of Queens.
Fran
Oh, don't get me started. Kevin James was on stage last night.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
Was he?
Fran
Story for another time.
Noah
In the King of Queens, where does Doug propose to Carrie?
Rhea
Don't.
Fran
I mean, I have no idea, because this is a flashback. They're already married when the King of Queens starts. You know what I mean? So this is a flashback.
Rhea
Pay close enough attention to the flashbacks.
Fran
No. Okay.
Rhea
Local wedding. You think they. You think somewhere. Oh, proposal.
Fran
Knowing Doug, it wasn't some grand gesture, was it? The Lemon Ice King. You know, I don't understand a single reference you're making. Song.
Rhea
Throw out a guess.
Fran
The. The Lemon Ice King.
Noah
Incorrect to an Thomas and Tyler.
Fran
He's getting better at whispering.
Noah
And there's no reason to whisper because.
Fran
He doesn't want to. Well, they already.
Noah
I've never seen the show, but huge Kevin James fan thinking.
Fran
You guys literally said on the show the other day that you had a question from the show. And I was like, tyler, do you know anything about that show?
Rhea
We need to prep.
Fran
And you said, king of the Hill. Okay, whatever. That's a totally different show.
Rhea
And I will say, but, Tyler, I feel you. Big fan of him. Never seen the show.
Fran
This is a hard question. This is a flashback. Like, they're already married when the show starts.
Noah
What was it to Borrows the pizza place. Correct. No, he proposed at a New York jets game.
Rhea
Oh, nice.
Fran
Classic Doug. That is so Doug.
Noah
All right, still one. Nothing. Rhian. Friends, question number three. To Ann Thompson. Tyler, shout out Rachel from East Long Meadow, Massachusetts. Name. This year, Gwen Stefani releases her song the Sweet Escape. Steve Irwin tragically passes away. The final season of the OC Premieres.
Fran
Okay, so early. Definitely.
Rhea
No earlier than that.
Noah
I think.
Fran
I think it's like 03.04.
Rhea
Steve Irwin die.
Fran
Maybe even earlier than that. 02. I mean, it's early. 03. Okay, yeah. Gut says 03.
Noah
Incorrect.
Fran
I'm gonna guess 2006. Oh, sorry, six. Because the O.C. like, didn't come out until 2000. Like, three. No, I don't remember. And it was four seasons long. I don't know. I could be.
Rhea
No, no, no. Well, how Robert IRWIN Is what, 20? How old is he? Right.
Fran
Wait, Robert Irwin. Steve Irwin.
Rhea
I know. I'm trying to do the math. On. I'm trying to do the math.
Fran
No, I. I think it was like 2000.
Rhea
So let's do 2006.
Fran
All right. Yeah, but now I'm saying this. If it's wrong, I'm sounding an idiot. Whatever.
Noah
Correct.
Rhea
There you go. We followed you down that path. We followed you.
Fran
I really had to be talked down that. And by the way, I was thinking of Steve Urkel the whole time. So that's why when you grant Steve.
Noah
Urkel get killed by a stingray.
Fran
That wasn't the question. It was when did he pass? And I wasn't sure if Steve Urkel was alive. And that's what I was thinking when I heard Steve Urkel, when it confirmed him, my brain, that I was thinking 2006. Anyways, I got it right, so moving on.
Noah
All right. Two, nothing. Re. Infran. Question number four to them, shout out Hannah from Washington.
Rhea
That was the first correct. Correct answer, was it not?
Noah
No. You got mega. Kelly.

Rhea
I forgot about making. Kelly. You're right.

Rhea
That makes it way harder.
Fran

Rhea

Noah

Rhea
Juno.
Fran
No, it's. What's his face? It's. We've had him on the show. 15 seconds. Come on. He. Come on. We've had him on the show and I forget his name.

Noah
Final answer incorrect.
Fran
One more time.
Noah

Fran
No, it's not Jason. That's not who I was thinking of.
Noah
Who are you?
Fran
I don't know his name, so.
Noah
But we've had him on the show.
Fran
We've had him on the show during lockdown and he.
Noah
Was he definitely in one of those movies?
Fran
Maybe not. I thought he was in dodgeball, but probably not.
Rhea
I have no clue who you're talking about.
Fran
I don't know. I'm probably making just.
Noah
Yeah. Justin Long. I was. I'm like, that's the only person we've had from dodgeball.
Rhea
Yeah.
Noah
Okay. Two, one. Re and Fran. Question number five to Ann Thompson. Tyler. Shout out Allie from Rhode Island. Shout out Allie from Rhode Island. She just sent me 107 more questions.

Wow.
Noah
The Hannah Montana episode with the Jonas Brothers premiered right after which Disney Channel original movie aired.
Rhea
Premiered like musical two or like Catholic the Jonas musical? Like, was that before Camp Rock, though?
Fran
I think that came before Camp Rock because I feel like they were, like, getting famous from, like, working with.
Noah
15 seconds.
Fran
Okay. My guess is High School Musical too.
Noah
Violence.
Fran
Yes.
Noah
Correct.
Rhea
Yep.
Noah
And that's, I think, one of the.
Fran
Best nights of TV ever.
Rhea
Yeah, that's the most we talk about.
Noah
That night Channel original movie ever, I think.
Fran
Think.
Noah
Or maybe it's just the most watched High school Musical, but.
Fran
And then the ending had Miley, and then it goes into a new episode of Montana. It's just, like, magical night.
Noah
There was also Phineas and Ferb Tease.
Fran
Yeah, I remember that. Yep. Going to be live.
Noah
All right, tied up at 2. Question number 6. To Reinfrange, shout out Jenna. In season and in season four, episode 12 of Friends, we learned that Monica has 11 sets of. Of what?

Noah

Rhea
Monica has 11 sets of.
Noah
10 seconds.
Rhea
I don't know.
Fran
I don't know. And you don't know what's right. I get them wrong.
Noah

Noah
Five.
Fran
Okay.
Rhea

No, that's his first album. Continuum's his third album.
Rhea
I talked her out of it.
Fran
That's my bad.
Noah
I think I. I don't think I can give that to you. It's not. It's not the actual song.
Fran
I wish I could. That is tough.
Noah
That is tough. Does he. He's a wise. Yeah. I mean, he sings it like that, but.
Fran
That'S how it, like, sounds. Yeah. What Frank said. It's not the name of the song.

Fran
I had to hear it from him. I have to hear it from the horses.
Noah
Such a good song.
Rhea
You know that song? She knows it.

Noah
15 seconds.
Fran
Okay. Bobby Flay.
Noah
Final answer incorrect.
Rhea
Bobby Fl is always a good guess.
Fran
I know. That's like the safest guess. Is Bobby Fly? You know, same thing.

I don't necessarily hate the Gordon Ramsay guess because New Girl was on Fox and he had all those shows on Fox.
Fran
Yeah, that's a good guess. Yeah.
Rhea
You know, it's like maybe.

Yeah.
Rhea
Should we. I don't have another guess.

Noah
And Thomas and Tyler with a chance to send to overtime. Shout out Nikki from Chicago. What Taylor Swift song is playing in the summer? I turn pretty when Baily and Conrad are playing in the snow on the beach. That feels like a trick question.
Rhea
Dang.
Fran
Okay. Right. But I really don't. Okay. I'm trying to think of songs I know are on there. Huge Sarasw fan, but I did not watch the Summer return pretty.
Noah
So this is gonna be my downfall.

Fran
I didn't think anything. Something blank space. I don't know.
Noah
Incorrect.
Rhea
It's invisible string.
Fran
Yep.
Rhea
And I did just rewatch everything, so that certainly helped. And on top of that, I remember thinking kind of weird that she didn't use snow on the beach right in that moment. And I really took note of that.
Fran
Right. That would have been like. Like one of those. Is it a trick question? Is it not?
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
How mad would you have been if you didn't guess snow on the beach there? And it was terrible. That would have been crazy. That was able to sleep at night.
Rhea
Yeah.
Fran
That was a close game.
Noah
Honestly, I'm happy that you won by two. Just so that why Georgia didn't really.
Fran
Yeah, you know what?
Rhea
That's.
