What's up, everyone? It's Chicks in the Office with Rianne Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Monday. Happy Friday, everybody. Oh my God, I wish it was Friday. It's Monday.

Talk about a case of the Mondays. Wow, that is seriously Monday energy that I was giving right there. I'm recording from home. We had a confusing morning. We did. Woke up. We were all in shambles. I can't tell if my period is punching me in the face or if I'm getting sick. It's one of those. I don't know. So we woke up. We're like, oh...

Me and Noah were like, oh, we'll record over Zoom. And then I went back to sleep. And then I woke up to text from Fran being like, no, wait, guys, I can't record over Zoom. Yeah. And it's no fault of your own. I wish I could have done this for my apartment. If I had one less element to deal with, there was like three different elements. And then there was an added fourth where I was just like, I cannot do this. My brother's in my apartment. Joe's working from home right now.

The cleaning lady's coming and they're building a fucking new building across the street for me. So there's, it's just construction. It's loud. I was like, if I could do this, but it's going to be not good at all. Yeah. So I went back to sleep thinking, Oh, we're recording over zoom. I'll wake up. We'll get on zoom. And then I woke up to all these text messages from Fran being like, no, I can't record over zoom. And then no, it was like, Oh wait, now I have to run to the office, but I live in Jersey. So by the time I woke up to these messages, it was like,

I was not making it to the city on time. No, and like on a rainy Monday morning, it takes you like an hour to get here. Meanwhile, it takes me like eight minutes to get to the office, so. Right, so it would have delayed everybody even more. So right now I'm recording from Dana and Matt's gambling streaming setup that they do for DraftKings. Yes. In our apartment. And-

I thought I was going to get on here and Noah was going to be like wowed by my microphone and camera technology. But apparently this microphone sucks too. So I'm going to let them know. That's the one that we've always used though. That is the one that everyone. This is the one that's given by work. It is. It is the one given by Barstool and they should really switch it up because that's just a bad one I think. No, when you see streamers at home, they have like those mics.

Like, we just gotta get you a nice home set up. Not that we ever record at home, but... I know. No, I know, but it would be... Well, because I have three screens in front of me right now, like I'm, you know, in the stock exchange, it would be nice to feel like... She's day trading. Yeah, like I'm with my bow coffee mug. Your bow coffee.

That mug is so cute. Very feminine setup with your little flower water bottle, your bow tie. If you guys saw, should I just make this a home tour instead? If you guys saw the, what's the word I'm looking for?

kitchenware, glassware, mugs, cups that I own, you would think I'm like a 76 year old eccentric, rich old lady. Right. Because every cup that I own or, or plate is like, there's flowers, there's bows, there's cherries, there's different fruits, there's cheeses. Like I just things, everything has a theme. Yeah. Yeah.

They really make me happy. And I love it. I might just do a little tour of my kitchen one day to show everybody all the different cups and plates I own that have these things on it because they bring such joy to me because it just makes drinking and eating that much more fun. Like, oh, you're going to make a little turkey sandwich. But what if I put this turkey sandwich on a beautiful little ceramic plate that I have? If I drink my coffee with this little bow mug, it just like changes everything.

So yeah, back to this stupid setup that I have. I really want to like do it up. Not that we record from home, but like I want to do it the frick up because it's so cool what I'm looking in front of you guys can't see it, but they need better equipment. Yeah. And it would be great to even just have the option, you know? Like if you had a sick setup, then it would never be an issue. Guys, there's a green screen behind me, in front of me.

Not behind me. Yeah, yeah. I don't want people to think this is a green screen. This is my actual office room. There is a green screen in front of me that I'm looking at. I could put the green screen behind me and it could look like I'm in the fucking Bahamas. I was going to say you could be anywhere. I could be anywhere, but not right now. Right now I'm just in my home. How are we feeling, everybody? Yeah, you could have the Jeff D set up like when he films The Dozen and he has that screen behind him. You know, the fake screen. The fake, yeah. I...

I feel good. I'm definitely tired for sure. I was happy to see...

and she's sitting on my lap and I'm happy that she's here and I miss her and Joe freaking like held her hostage. I came home and I had to like go to the beach to go see her and then he was like, let's go back to the city. I was like, oh God. Does she give, is she just like waiting for your return the entire time you're gone or is she like good with Joe? No, she's good. I mean once she like, once I'm gone, it's not like she's sitting at the door for four days straight. Some dogs do that. No, no, no, no.

It's just at the beginning, but no. Joe gave her, Joe spoiled her, gave her some extra treatment. He said one night he let her sleep in bed. He let her sleep in bed with her because he wanted the extra cuddle time. Eat it. Extra bonding time. And no, she was great. And I was very excited to see her when I got home. So my mom got to meet her.

Last night, because my mom hasn't met her yet, but she was in the city very briefly. And she came over and got to meet her. And obviously, she loved her. I know. I wish I was in her position right now, sleeping in your lap. Seriously. It's a nice life. And then we were trying to figure out, we were joking. We were like, because we call Flo and Lola our family dogs. We're always like, those are our sisters. And then I was like, damn. So I guess that makes...

Them Aunt Flo and Aunt Lola to Olive. And I was like, that's so cute. Now they all have to hang out.

My God, that's so true. I'm going to have to get her up to the vineyard so that they can all hang out. Oh, that'll be adorable. I know. I know. That'll be so fun. So cute. We had a fantastic kickoff to our tour. We were in Pittsburgh on Thursday, which was so awesome. Our first time in Pittsburgh, people have been, you know, begging us to come to Pittsburgh and we finally made it there. We had so much fun. We were staying right across from the ballpark. Yep. And that was awesome. And yeah,

Great show. Kick off, kick off the tour. Great show. And then we made our way to Maine. We were staying in New Hampshire, though, in Portsmouth. And but our show was in a gun quit. So we were really all over the map. But what cute places. Let me just say, I mean, we got rain the whole time. But even then, still, it was so cute that I was like, I need to get back here when it's a beautiful, sunny day because we really had fun.

So much fun like it was really such a great time it absolutely was I think that the Pittsburgh show was a great show great way to kick it off And then we got to do like a little beach time. I love Portsmouth I have been there a few times before and I think it's like the cutest little town great little shopping bars restaurants We had a great meal Got to walk around do so much fun stuff and

And yeah, the only downside was for sure that it was raining. It was raining, but that didn't stop the fun because we had our Gunquit show, which was absolutely amazing, but it was also a Gunquit pride weekend. And so at the front porch in a Gunquit, they were doing gay divas through the decades. And we were like, okay, well we have to go to this after the show. Yes. And we had an absolute blast. The show was so fun. The theater was really cool. It's a hundred year old theater. Um,

you know our first time having our green room be a like beachside motel room next door uh so it was that we were just cracking up it was like so funny sitting in this hotel room with trent and like these double beds and like we're like all right so we got we got some time to kill um

But it was so fun. Also another absolutely adorable town. And yeah, the show was so fun. And we got to go out for a little bit, which was great, doing shows on Saturday nights and got to see what the nightlife's all about. The front porch was really fun. It was so great. It was so fun. I mean, that piano player and singer, I sent a request for Lady Gaga. Rhea's song choice, I sent the Venmo. Oh, wow.

And he was like, all right, this one's for Francesca. Starts going into Poker Face. But then he went into a full Lady Gaga medley of like five or six different Lady Gaga songs. And it was just spectacular. It was unbelievable. Couldn't be happier with the request that we made because it's

I thought we were, I was like, oh, we'll get a little poker face. But we got every, we got poker face, we got bad romance, we got edge of glory, we got, we got everything. Like, it was just a beautiful medley. It really was. I forgot how much I love the edge of glory. Like, there was a time where I was, I really clocked that song on repeat often. And when he started playing it, I was like, damn, I kind of forgot about this song. I fucking love this song. It

It was so fun. And we also walked in sort of when he started playing the climb by Miley Cyrus. And I was like, wow, what a Miley week we are having. Trent and I were walking on the street and we heard the climb being sung from like, maybe like, I don't know, a hundred feet away. And we were both like that. I think that's when Trent made up his mind. He's like, I can't go in there. Yes. Trent did not come into the bar with us.

But we were singing our hearts out. We had so much fun. And it was such a fun weekend there. I really, really enjoyed my time. I really want to go back just to like enjoy. I know, right? It's like, oh, that would be so be actually said you want to go on real vacation there, like have a little fun. For sure. Beach weekend was so nice. Trent FaceTimed Noah Khan during our show, which I feel like we could give some context to while we're talking about the podcast. Trent.

Well, before we were going out on stage and we were prepping, it was just the three of us. He said to Rian and me, like, oh, you know...

I can FaceTime Noah Khan during the show. We're pals. He, I guess, has been watching Trent content for years now. Breaking 90, all the shows that he's done. And I guess he had reached out and said he was a fan. They have talked, whatever. And Trent took it upon himself to reach out to be like, hey, I'm doing this Chicks in the Office live show in Maine. Noah Khan is obviously from Maine. Yeah.

and he was like, I think you'd be the perfect person. I could FaceTime you during the show. He was giving an appropriate time, and it worked out so well because then Rhea and I were able to say, like he said that, and then we were kind of thinking like, oh, how do we just...

Out of the blue FaceTime Noah Khan. It's like bring Trent up there and it's like, all right, do the trick. So Trent brought that up to you without knowing what that girl said in Pittsburgh? Yes, correct. Oh, interesting. He had it planned already before. And Rhi and I said, wow, that's actually so funny because a girl at the meet and greet in Pittsburgh came up to us and was like, don't you guys think Noah looks just like Noah Khan? And we were like, don't you think?

I mean, like, not really. I said you're only saying that because our names are Noah. Yeah, you're both Noahs and you have beards. But it just ended up being the perfect setup to be able to be like, oh, my God, we can just be like, we'll tell that story. And then we can say, you know what? We should ask Noah Khan if he thinks he looks like Noah Ives. Do you think you look like this guy at all? And his name is Noah. His name is Noah. Look, let me talk directly to this guy. I'm right here. I'm right here.

Me, you, Jesus Christ, and Keanu Reeves got dealt a gnarly hand. We don't look anything alike. We're just white guys with beards and sort of big noses. But hey, my name is Noah, too, so that counts for something. I mean, you're a very handsome man. You're much better than me. Thank you. Hey, hey, thank you. Well, don't you people be like, Noah's not either. Let's just like you. Then they'll show me a photo of a fucking raccoon.

Don't worry, he doesn't think... I didn't think so either. But I think we're both good looking, so...

All right, now they're floating. And you came running down the aisle. You friggin' jumped on stage. Also, I was the only one who didn't know this was happening. Like, in my mind, when this was like... You thought it was all spontaneous. I was like, whoa! Like, I was probably how everyone else in the theater felt. Like, what the fuck? Which is why you, instead of using... Trying to FaceTime Noah Khan? Like, that's crazy. I knew they were friends, but I was like, out of the blue, that's kind of wild. Which is why you just...

Free jumped onto the stage instead of using the stairs. I was like running down the aisle and I'm trying to, you know, emit some energy to the crowd. And then halfway down, I just thought, yeah, why not just jump on, try to jump. Come on, Nones. Come on, Nones. Get up here. Wow. Oh my. Let me. That was pretty smooth. You okay? You're fine. Okay. Wow. I'm a good jumper.

So yeah, I jumped. And I think you guys, like Trent said this, but I think Ria said it too, like you guys weren't like watching. You were looking like down or something. I saw the whole jump. Yes. You guys thought that I like somehow tripped upward like onto the, which would have been impossible. I thought Noah fell. So-

I had a different view where I thought Noah had tripped onto the stage and landed like that. That was a tall stage. It was. No, I know it was very tall. I don't know why my mind went there, but honestly, iconic Noah. I watched the video that you posted back and I was like, honestly, he did have a great entrance. I missed it the first time around. I was like, that was a nice entrance. Yeah.

Yeah, that was actually very funny. Trent, like, it was bad service. It was like, do we have the Wi-Fi? Do we not? We were calling. It wasn't ringing. We're like, it's not ringing. It's bad service. No, Trent was freaking out. Wi-Fi was so bad. Well, that's why, to give context, you know, backstage before the show, Trent was angry.

Freaking out that we had no service because we were in. Is that what that was? Green room. We had. That's why he was freaking out. For many other reasons. Okay. For many other reasons. In the hotel room, he was freaking out, but I don't know if that's. Yeah. But part of the reason was because he thought, because when you left the room, he was like, I'm freaking out because I don't know if I'm going to be able to FaceTime him if we have no service. And, but we made it happen. Got connected to the wifi, the whole thing, but we sort of like. It was kind of funnier that way. Is it going to go through? No.

because we had that like five ish minutes of like just watching. Yeah. Hold the phone and like no ringing. And it built up some good anticipation for the crowd. I felt. Yeah, it did. The crowd went crazy. I was like beaming, watching the crowd be like, this is such a cool moment. It was awesome. And I'm not so familiar with Noah Khan's music, but I did end up listening like all day yesterday because I kind of felt like a fraud that I wasn't so familiar. And, um,

I had like main on repeat. I was like, I had never heard that. I mean, I knew his like big ones, but I didn't, I also did like a, it's kind of a deep dive the past. That whole album is so good. Yeah. Yeah.

so good. I was like, damn, like I'm feeling this man really left an imprint on my heart. I think I really, I really enjoyed my time Pittsburgh as well. Such great crowds all around. We met amazing women everywhere and men. We had a, you know, a couple of boyfriends, husbands come to the show as well, but I had my lobster roll in New Hampshire, not Maine. We went to surf in Portsmouth and it

Loved it. Delicious. I did get a hot buttered one. It was raining outside and it was cold. So I was like, you know, I didn't want the cold lobster roll, but so delicious. And now, like I said, I think I said this last week, I'm going to seafood kick. Like that wasn't enough for me. I need more. I need more. But amazing, amazing start to the tour. I feel like we had such fun laughs all around. There were portions of the weekend where I was legit terrified.

belly laughing so hard at some some of the shit you were saying Fran Noah Sarah Maddie everyone everyone was like on their best team banter like it was good banter the whole weekend for sure a lot of my expense but I'm fine with that

And you were giving it back, though. We were all giving it to each other. But honestly, like giggly mood when I got home yesterday because I was like, wow, that was so funny. Like everyone was being so funny. We finished with Domino's in your room. Yes, we did. Let me tell you. Me and Fran are Domino's people. It's just the perfect way I would love it. Fran is like a rewards member. Yes. And we were deciding where we wanted to eat after we went to the front porch on Saturday. And McDonald's was open, but Domino's was open. And Fran and I were like,

you want dominoes. Sorry. We overruled everyone. I would have taken them to my house. The divas want dominoes. Yes, they do. And I will say this. Being, like we were on the road for four days, but when you're traveling, it's really hard to eat

At normal times because we're getting ready like all day. So we really eat in the morning and then we don't eat until after the show, which but then after the show, we're starving. But then most places are closed. So then our options are fast food. And like, honestly, I felt like a bag of shit on Sunday because I was like, oh, everything has gone out the window. Like I've just been we one night we got Taco Bell and Wendy's combined. Yeah.

We made two drive-thru stops. But I do like that she said, like, we don't eat, like, we had Domino's that night, but we also had Smash Burgers before the show. Okay, you had a Smash Burger. Rhea and I are dainty princesses. We split a burger. You split it? Yes. We literally split a burger. It was two bites. It was barely anything to keep us going, okay? Yeah, I mean, we didn't eat the whole thing.

- The whole day. - Seriously. We had those teeny tiny little breakfast sandwiches. You were there, you saw them. - You were there, you saw it. We had little toasts. - That's all we had. - Oh, that's all I had too, yeah. - That's all we had. Well, you had a full burger before the show, didn't you? - I did. - Yeah, you're not on the same level as us prepping for the show, okay? - Yes. - You know? - Right, they're starving ourselves before the show. - And we got hungry and you know what?

I thought, my God, do I want Domino's right now? And it hit the fucking spot. It really did. It really did. And I want to add this. So growing up on Long Island, Fran, I imagine you maybe feel the same way growing up in Jersey. You know, just in this area, as a kid, you kind of make fun of people who eat pineapple on pizza. Like, ew, pineapple doesn't belong on pizza. Let me tell you.

I fucking love pineapple on pizza. I really do. And I feel like I missed out as a kid, but now I love pineapple on pizza. And specifically if I'm getting trash pizza, like Domino's, I'm throwing that pineapple all over it. Oh, all over it. I fucking love pineapple on my pizza. It's like Domino's style. Did you notice I went, this is my Domino's inside trick. Do you notice I went extra sauce on the pizza? Yeah.

No, but was that why it felt extra good? Yes. Because wow, I was blown away by the pizza. Because sometimes I think like Domino's, people want cheese, they go extra cheesy, you know, and sometimes I feel like there's just like a little, the cheese to sauce ratio is off. But if you go extra sauce, oh my God, it makes it so much better, I think. Yeah.

So that's my, I always go extra sauce. It actually was better than I remember Domino's being. Yeah, I bet you because I went with some extra sauce. And we, you know, we did the whole thing. We did it up for sure. We literally sat in a random strip mall parking lot for like 10 minutes while the order was cooking. And then we were good to go. Brought right back to the hotel.

Did you notice that that cheesy bread was extra cheesy? It was. It was really cheesy. I've never had cheesy bread be that cheesy. Same. I almost felt like there was multiple types of cheese inside the cheese bread. Right. It felt like there was like ricotta in there. Yeah, it did. It did. It did. It was wild. I wonder if that's a new thing.

It was better than usual. It was, it was. And I couldn't tell if we were just starving, but really just an amazing weekend. And now our New York show is on Thursday. If you are feeling like you want last minute plans, we still have tickets on sale for Thursday. We did get a lot of messages from people saying that they are out of town. They go to the shore. They go to Montauk for the weekend on Thursday. So they can't come to the show. We will miss you. But if you are in the city or the nearby area on Thursday night, you,

We will be at Town Hall in New York City. We have Jessie from The Mormon Wives coming. She's ready to spill all the tea, all the drama on stage with us. We can't wait. We can't wait to hang out with more of you and quickly.

Quick little summer tour. We will be back in the fall with different cities, but this has been a nice little lovely summer tour so far. Exactly. And I think we're going to have tons to talk about with Jesse because there's been more stuff that happened over the weekend with those Mormon wives. Let me tell you, the drama never ends. It never ends. And I'm mad because we had Whitney in last week. She's on today's episode. But now there's like more drama with Whitney that's happened in the last few days that we...

if you're, when you listen to the interview, we were not able to talk to her about because it seems like there was some big Vegas event that a lot of the Mormon wives were at, but Whitney made a video that she was not invited. And then it caused a whole stir. She made a video, she made a video joking where she's talking to somebody, but the person she's talking to is just the back of their head. They have really bad, that you can like see their extensions.

So then people thought like, oh, is that a hit of Jessie? And then Jessie commented. There's a whole thing. But then people were like, oh, is it actually a hit at Layla? Because Layla made a video about how there's one scene during the actual show where you can see her extensions out. And she made a TikTok about it herself, like being like, oh my God, I can't believe how bad those were.

And then they were like, oh, is Whitney joking about that? So now it's like, is Whitney on the outs again? I don't know. I don't know. But that happened over the weekend. So there's always something. Exactly. Exactly. There's always something. Always something. We have topics to get into.

Very excited. We're going to talk about Love Island because, you know, it's back, baby. It's back. And all the episodes and were last week and Sunday night. So now it's kind of good because Monday you can listen before Monday night's episode come out, you know, with Love Island weird schedule. So we're going to try to recap as much as possible. We don't want to be too behind, but we want to give you all our thoughts about

The whole thing. But we have many thoughts and we'll go through everything and everybody on this episode. We have other topics as well. We are going to be talking about Paige leaving Summer House and then Lexi throwing her announcement in the next day. It was like, all right, at least wait the weekend. But we'll talk about that. Amy Lou Wood and Walton Goggins did a little talk.

article together interview pictures talking about the you know alleged feud that they do not have actually we'll talk about that taylor and travis were at a wedding in nashville so many pictures came from that event billy eilish and nat wolf were spotted smooching so people think they are dating and love island usa like i said and we have the weekly watch report and we have an interview with whitney lovett we'll talk all the drama with her but unfortunately you know

The drama moves fast. And so the drama from this week I've not talked about, but other things were talked about. So it's a great listen. And we were excited to have Whitney in studio to talk about it. So let's get in to the topics.

They don't make it easy to buy concert tickets these days. You got to sign up for the presale, get in the queue, and by the time you get through, the best seats are gone.

On Thursday morning, Paige DeSorbo announced on her Instagram story that she would not be returning to Summer House for this season. We just saw her launch of her pajamas and loungewear line that it is coming on Tuesday. So people thought, oh, she'll maybe do one more season of Summer House. She'll promote the line on the show. We'll see that. The bed bugs in bed together. No, that is not happening. She announced it's time for her departure. She's moving on, she thanked fans.

you know, the cast, the crew, the family that Summer House has given her for the last seven seasons of the show, the last seven summers. But it is time for her to move on and exit from the show, which, you know what? Good for her for everything.

realizing the time and place of when to leave the show for herself because obviously we would love to watch Paige on Summer House every single season she's the highlight for us in my opinion like I I love Paige's commentary I think she adds a ton to the show um so would love to continue to watch Paige on this show but for her and her her job and her brand and everything it's like

I feel like, especially after this season and sharing all the personal details of her breakup and everything, it's like, well, why keep doing this if I don't have to? And I feel like maybe that's where she's at. And also, not often you see somebody remove themselves from a Bravo reality show. Usually they're asked or they're put on pause or something of that nature. Paige is like, nope, my time has come. I am leaving the show. Yeah, it's the right call. It's bittersweet, but...

Like you said, it's the right move for her right now. I think she has so many amazing things going for her that Summer House is probably really low on the priority list. I think that's not what she 100% needs to put all of her time and effort in. Giggly Squad is amazing. They have all these live shows, tours, podcasts. They're doing extra series. They're doing TV stuff. So many amazing opportunities.

that she really doesn't fully need like that Bravo platform right now so it does make sense it is sad because she is such a important part of the show and I think she's such like a glue castmate who really can connect with everybody and I

And I think everybody feels comfortable talking to her. You see all the posts on social of everyone being so sad that she's leaving. And it really is sad that there wasn't like one like last farewell summer. But you know what? I think that this was the right call for her.

Especially going into a season where she is single now. So it's like, I'm sure production or just the Bravo fans would really want to know what's going on in her personal life. Who's she dating? Is she doing this? Is she doing that? And I think she's like, I don't really fucking want to share that right now. Especially coming off this relationship with Craig that was like so public. So...

It all just feels like it makes the most sense right now. It is sad, of course, but she will continue to thrive and excel. And the opportunities she's going to get, I think, are going to be tenfold. Yeah, absolutely agree. I think this is the right call. And yeah, I agree with the fact where she's probably like, okay, I'm

I don't need to share my personal life all over the place. So might as well not and still succeed. And there's so many different avenues and things that she probably wants to explore. I mean, we just saw her and Hannah had a little guest spot on Ginny and Georgia as well. Like Giggly Squad is just exploding in all different directions. And it's like,

well, why not free up that sort of time that you would maybe be traveling to the weekends in the summer or kind of a hectic schedule that maybe she doesn't want to have to go every weekend to this house. Maybe when she has free time, she wants to kind of just chill out. You know, like I feel like a lot is happening. So sort of having that balance and not returning to summer house makes the most sense. As for Lexi,

She couldn't even let the announcement breathe for 24 hours. She puts up her Instagram story and it's kind of like, wait till Monday, you know, or wait till this week. In my personal opinion, I was just like, everybody cares about Paige leaving Summer House. Like we see it all over the place. Like people are freaking out whether they are happy about it or whether they think it's the right move or the wrong move. Like everyone has an opinion on it. And then Lexi jumps in not even 24 hours after she's like,

I'm also gone. And everyone's like, okay, well, this isn't the same. We're talking seven seasons versus one season here. Obviously she's, if she's not returning, she wants to make that announcement. It was just like, okay, well,

Well, we're still focused on Paige right now, you know? Yeah, I think she... I was thinking maybe, like, they knew Paige was going to say something. I don't know. I highly doubt it. I'm sure, really, Lexi was, like, just waiting for the right moment. And I bet once Lexi saw Paige do it, she was like, oh, I'm getting mine out there then, you know? Like, it's time to let everybody know that I will also not be returning. And I'm not surprised. I think...

I think production was maybe banking on her bringing some drama again this summer. I think if Paige stayed, they would have been more okay with Lexi leaving.

But with now more people leaving I kind of think it's like oh what what exactly is the storyline that they're going to follow here I think they were going to have to fill in a lot of spots and like that can be kind of random too and all of a sudden it's just like four totally new people or three or four however many they're going to have to do at this point. Yeah.

But yeah, Lexi, it is a thing too where it's like Lexi says she's leaving. Do we know for sure Bravo did not ask her back? You know, that whole scenario. Right, because if I wasn't making assumptions, I would.

Right. I would have thought that Lexi would have, if given the option, would have 100% returned to the show with how much press she has done for this past season. Right. You know? Maybe she just hated how it all turned out. She's like, I'm not fucking doing it again, you know? Right. That could also be the case, too. It's like, but I...

It goes two ways. Like one, you're doing press for the show. You want to keep talking about it so that you can return and have a new season without... Like, you know, Jesse will be there, but you're not dating Jesse and it's not about that. Yeah. Or you hate what happened so much that you're going to let everyone know what happened and not return. Like, I'm really interested in knowing...

if it was her choice or if it was Bravo's decision. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if we'll ever know that, though, but I would be curious because now we're probably going to see an influx of new people. It may just be, though, that they bring in a ton of new single people and it starts from the beginning. Like, we go back to the beginning of Summer House where it was just a bunch of single people in a house going out, doing stupid shit. I just think they can't... I know. I just think they can't fully embrace that with...

Kyle, Amanda, Carl, Lindsay, like, still around. You know? I just, like, I think that's fair. I think they can totally build something where, like, Jesse and Wes are still there. And it's a bunch of singles. And they try and see how that goes. But...

When there's still going to be a focus on those older couples, older relationships, what's Carl doing? What's Amanda and Kyle doing? How is Lindsay visiting with Gemma? Is she not like it's just it's two it's two different shows. It's like they're trying to make two different shows and combining into one. And I don't know if that's necessarily going to work. So we'll see.

I agree with that. It was funny. There was a fake announcement going around from Carl that he was leaving. Carl was quick to clear that up with Us Weekly. And then he linked it on his story and he was like, click the link to read. I'm not leaving. Don't worry, guys. I am not leaving. He said, all right, we get it, Carl. You are not leaving. You are not leaving the show. Yeah, I know. I really do feel, and I get it in the sense that like so many of...

their businesses are attached to being on the show. Like with Paige, like she has such a presence online and has such a strong following already that the show wouldn't necessarily, I think, help that much in promoting her product. I think she can do that no problem on her own. She has that kind of power.

But for, like, Carle promoting his bar and all those things, I think the show is such a massive platform for him to have that. So it's like they're going to cling onto that for sure. So I don't know. It's going to be very interesting to see how it all goes down once filming starts because it's really only a few weeks away at this point than from, like, what their normal schedule is. They start, like, around 4th of July. So...

Yeah, it's going to be soon. While we're on the topic, I do want to give a little tidbit that we shared at the shows, but we'd never shared it on the podcast. So we did talk on the podcast about how you met Wes and you got we kind of squashed the semi beef fake beef that we had. Yeah, whatever.

And, you know, we were booking guests for our live shows and we had asked Wes to be a guest at our Pittsburgh live show. Went through his team and everything and Wes approved, his team approved. He was all set to go. We were going to get the booking, you know, booked, traveled, all that. Wes then hits you with a text about how he can no longer make the Pittsburgh live show because he's

It's the playoffs for his kickball, his kickball league that he's in. He put together the team, he, whatever our faces, when we received this news that West was canceling as our live show guest because of his fucking kickball team. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, that did happen. And you know, I, I was, I said back to him, you know, like I am shocked and semi impressed that you're have that level of dedication to your kickball team and

And, you know, it was the kind of thing where it was like, oh, if we win this playoff game, then maybe I wouldn't be available because then it'd be the championship. But if we lost, but, you know, they kept winning. And then the fateful night of our Pittsburgh show, they had their championship and they won the whole damn thing. So he's a champ.

Yeah, congratulations. Happy for him, but it was very, very funny. And you know what? Everything works out the way it's supposed to because I thought Tyler and Tate were so fucking fun. So good. Yeah. They were amazing. I love Tate so much. They're such a...

Yeah, she's amazing. They're such a cute couple. Funny, fun. Yeah, they know how to get the crowd going. They were they were incredible. So it did work out the way it was supposed to. They were awesome. I forgot we didn't talk about that in the intro, but they were so much fun. A lot of dance battles happening, a lot of dancing on stage, which I love. I feel like that gets the crowd going and Tate has all the moves. So I loved it.

Yeah, so much fun. So yeah, it did work out. I was supposed to, but we were cracking up being like this fucking guy canceled on us for his kickball game, but they did win. So congratulations. I guess it was worth it. You know what I mean? I guess it was all worth it. Moving on. I know that this was something people were speculating about for quite some time was an alleged feud between Amy Lou Wood and Walton Goggins.

He unfollowed her on Instagram right after the, you know, during the premiere of the show. And everyone was very curious because he would, Walton Goggins would speak so highly of Amy Lou Wood. But then we would see that he unfollowed her and everyone was like, wait, what's going on? Then he had that very emotional post about Chelsea and Rick at the, you know, the series finale and all that. So, yeah.

It was very confusing. People were like, what happened? People were speculating nonstop. They cleared up the rumors. They did an interview. They did a spread. They did pictures together. And sort of what it came down to was we realized Walton Goggins, and we cannot begin to understand these people in Hollywood, but they understand each other. He is so dedicated to his roles and

that he had to unfollow Amy Lou Wood when the season wrapped up because that's the way he can move on from being so into his character and his roles was kind of what I got from this was like,

If he had followed his past cast members from other shows and movies, he would also unfollow them because he gets so into it that he needs to completely separate himself after. Otherwise he's still locked in. So that's what happened with Amy is like he got, and it's very clear that during filming, they got extremely, extremely close because they talk about how not purposely, but he would sort of distance himself from the rest of the cast because he was so into the role of Rick and

that then Amy being Chelsea would then be like, no, you're not going through this alone. So them two together were kind of like on this little Island filming the show. They were so locked in that they needed some sort of separation after it. Yeah. And I think he's, he's talked about it before, but Thailand is just like such an emotional place for him because it is where he went after his first wife had passed. And it was such a, like a,

therapeutic experience for him, and then he had not been back since, so I think he was really going through a lot mentally. And yeah, I think he's just so attached to the characters, Rick and Chelsea, that once it ended, it was, I can't even... I have to separate. I can't even see what Amy Liu is doing on her own because it's just like, I got to move on from it. And the whole article was in Variety. They just...

They were hugging all over each other. They were praising each other. They were so excited to see each other. It's just so crazy that this rumor ran wild for so long. And when this finally came out, it was like, wow. And they also kind of alluded to the...

Because I think it was right after that article had come out is when they did this. Was the Times article with Walton Goggins where it was perceived that the interviewer had asked about Amy LeWood and he was like, we're not talking, you know, I don't want to talk about that. And that it like ended the interview and like the whole thing. And it seems as though from at least Walton Goggins standpoint that it's

They just kept bringing it up multiple times that by the time was like the third or fourth time. He was like, all right, like, let's this is not what we're here to talk about. And then, of course, that's what was used in the article and the and the whole thing. But it really appears that they don't have it. He filed. He refiled her right there in that month.

right there in the moment I think when they were talking so it really seems like it's all fine yeah I think he just gets very attached like maybe you know he got so attached to Amy Lou Wood he was like okay well I'm actually married in real life that I need to separate myself from this because wow I'm so into this character and I'm so into Chelsea and Rick and it's a whole thing um

He speaks so highly of Amy, though, like in the way he's like, she's Goldie Hawn. Like she's going to like really, really make it as an actress. So it was very interesting. He's clearly a weird guy, like love Walton Goggins, but he's he's a bit of a weirdo. Totally. And

you know what? Sometimes that's just the way you are as an actor, actress. He's an artiste. Yep. And they're a little bizarre in some ways, but that's how they work. And that's why he's probably so good at his job because this is the way that he works and get shit done. So happy to see that there's no feud between the two.

Love to see pictures of them together. You know what I mean? But then you start, you start missing the season. You start thinking about what happened, the whole thing, but happy to hear that there's no actual feud and that this is just the way these actors work. I guess, you know, we can't understand it, but they do. And I guess that's what matters. Moving on.

Taylor and Travis were at a wedding in Nashville. One of Travis's cousins, I think it was his second cousin. They got married in Nashville. They attended the wedding. People were so excited they were there. And then it sparked this whole debate online, I guess, about whether or not you would be happy Taylor's at your wedding or upset that she's taking the shine from you. I think this is a stupid question. I think you're happy. Like if you are upset, first of all,

Taylor Swift.

is allowed to exist in this world as a human being. What kind of life would it be if she's not even allowed to go to a wedding because someone is upset that it would be taking the shine away? You know what? Deal with it. Okay. Sorry, you didn't make it. Sorry, she Taylor Swift and you're not. Okay. It is what it is. You got to just accept that. Like, you know what I mean? Like she, she's allowed to go to weddings and exist in this world. Just like we are all allowed to go to weddings and exist. Okay.

How, you know, like you gotta, she's gotta be a normal human, human in some settings. So I think I'd be happy. You'd be happy. Most of the world would be happy. They'd be like, damn, I'm so honored. She's taking the time to come to my wedding. You're still the bride. Everyone knows it's your day. And look, now people are even talking about your wedding even more. The bragging rights that you would have for the rest of your life that Taylor Swift was at your wedding, regardless of what happens with Taylor and Travis is worth it alone. Like,

I can be like, no, look, Taylor Swift is at my wedding. I don't care. It's the coolest thing ever, I think, if you're the bride or anybody. But you are right. It's just like, hey, she is going to a wedding as a plus one of her boyfriend. And that was very cute. Looked like they had a lovely time. But, you know, I also saw a lot of people joking about it. And this is also so true. That it's like, do you think the bride...

was nervous or did anybody like say to the guests of the wedding like, "Hey, everyone be fucking cool." Like don't, don't. And then you know of course you see the videos and the pictures that I'm sure guests like sneaky tried to take and that's what we're all looking at and whatever.

And of course there were what looked more like family photos where, okay, of course, you take the lovely picture together. Maybe you send that to your friends. Everyone freaks out. It gets sent around immediately. But like the videos of...

Taylor and Travis filming behind them when they're in their seat and the dance is happening and the whole thing. It's like, okay, those are the people that you're like, oh, come on. I told Tammy not to fucking film her and she did it anyway. And this is because you're like, you want Taylor to feel as comfortable as possible at your wedding and that she doesn't have to worry about moles from the inside. But at the end of the day, it's Taylor Swift and I'm sure you...

When you send out that invite list, you maybe don't know for sure if Taylor Swift is coming and the neighbor down the street that you maybe wouldn't have invited if you knew Taylor was going to be there.

100% because now you're thinking about the seating chart. Where am I sitting? Who am I trusting to sit next to her? I'm not trusting her next day on Debbie. She's going to freak out the whole time and take a bunch of pictures, you know, you know, ask her about her life and the whole thing. You got to seat her next to somebody who's going to be calm, cool, collected. And then you, you know what, you kind of got to toss your hands up in the air and be like,

I tried to tame my family and friends and I couldn't. And I feel like Taylor would understand that. Like she's probably aware you're not going to have everyone be super chill. She knows who she is. She's aware that people are going to fucking freak out about her. So I think super cool that she just gets to live her life and go like every other girl in the world, you know, goes a plus one to a wedding and exactly life. So people who are saying that they would be upset,

Let's maybe take a look at the mirror. You really wouldn't be – you wouldn't be upset. I don't think you'd be that upset. No. That would be a choice. Yeah. I can't believe she gave him my wedding. That would be insane. Right.

Billie Eilish and Nat Wolfe were spotted smooching together. I mean, we talked about this kind of briefly, I think a couple months ago, where they were spotted together and everyone was like, are they dating? Oh, they're probably just friends. Like, you know, what's going on here? They've been friends for years. Yeah, they've been friends for years, apparently. So everyone like immediately was like, they've been friends for so long. It's not anything romantic, but...

Right, but now they're spotting Smooch in. I mean, that Smooch looked romantic to me. Yeah, it could be romantic. Maybe they're friends of benefits, you know? Maybe they're exploring further than friends. Maybe they were just having fun and Smooching and they're not romantic. But all I know is they were Smooching. And it was out like maybe on a balcony. Looked like a balcony. Looked like maybe they were stopping some pictures together. I think it's romantic. That's the vibe I got. Yeah.

I'm going to I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's romantic. My God. Shocking take to people kissing romantic. No, but I just I don't want to jump into that right yet because I feel like it could be a possibility that they just might be like exploring. But also maybe it was just for funsies. Yeah. Yeah. I like the pairing. I do. I think that's a very cute pairing.

It's just crazy that like I immediately just go back to the Naked Brothers band. Of course. I can't think about this man or talk about this man without talking about the Naked Brothers band. To be honest, it is one of those things where no matter what he does career wise, I think we will always think of that first.

And some people are able to shed that first role. Yeah, I actually haven't. Because he's done a good amount of movies recently. He has. He's done a ton. He's been in some awesome things. And I was a big Naked Brothers guy, but I don't really think about it. You don't think of Naked Brothers? Not really anymore when I see them. Oh my God, no. I go Naked Brothers immediately. The only thing that plays in my head is cray-ay-ay-ay-ay. Wait, do you remember? This was going to be a trivia question, but then I was like, I'm not going to use it, so I'll ask you now. What was the love interest name in Naked Brothers' band?

There's a song about it. I didn't really watch the show that much, to be honest. Amina? No, it starts with an R. Is there a song that it's her name? Yeah. Oh, shit. I can hear the song in my head. Rosalia. Yeah, is it Rosalia or Rosalina? Rosalina? It might be Rosalina. Rosalia? Yeah.

I know it's Rose. Rosalina. Rosalina. Rosalina. I was going to say Rose. I think that's where I got Amina from, Rosalina. I can still hear the melody in my head of Rosalina. Yeah. Talents and Talents and Guys. Yeah, they did. And now Smooch and Billie Eilish. Yeah, exactly. Maybe they'll further the connection. We'll find out about it. Maybe they're working on some music. Guys, if you saw my hair in Pittsburgh and Maine this past weekend...

You'll be shocked to know that the last time I had washed my hair for both of those shows was on Monday night before meeting Miley Cyrus. Okay. And what I used to keep that blowout fresh and good before recurling it or Haley curled it was Batiste dry shampoo, the innovation from award award winning number one dry shampoo brand Batiste.

In the US, one can of Batiste is sold every 1.3 seconds. And guys, I was using those cans of Batiste. Zen Matcha, ooh, light dry shampoo. It was perfect. I needed dry shampoo because I wasn't washing my hair and it did the trick. We'd spray the dry shampoo, rub it in a little bit, curl it, set it. It was good to go. New Batiste light dry shampoo is our lightest dry shampoo. It blends seamlessly in hair and leaves no white residue. That's what I was using. It was absolutely perfect.

It's lightweight. It's non-gritty. It absorbs oil and greased for a cleaner looking hair without weighing it down. Like I said, it's lightweight and non-gritty. That's the best part of it. You don't feel it in your hair. It doesn't leave that white residue. It's absolutely perfect. It's great on your hair and it's easy on your wallet or to get the blowout look without the blowout price. So that's what I was doing. You can buy Batiste light dry shampoo online or in store at your nearest retailer.

Let's get into it. Love Island. Okay. Been dying to get the takes off. Everybody anticipating this season of Love Island, USA season seven, because of how big season six was. We know that season six was ginormous and we all wanted to go into this with an open mind, which I have done. The first episode I was sat, I was watching and I was interested. I'm still interested that I don't want to

phrase it in a way that seems like I'm not interested. I'm very interested. I'm giving everybody on the show a fair shot of being themselves and not trying to compare them to the season prior because I feel like

they deserve that or some of them deserve that um we could talk about it right off the bat so that we don't have to talk about it further but yelissa was yanked from the show i think everybody has seen that by now as she should be um she i mean she had to be yanked they said at the very beginning of the second episode like yelissa has left the island um apparently the the

Cast members of the people in the villa probably do not know what happened. We all know what happened. There were videos that resurface of Ulysses on a podcast using racial slur. So everyone was like, get this woman off the show right now. And they made it happen because I think, you know, producers, Ariana, they all have their phones like they could see what people are talking about. And people were like, we need this woman off the show. And they yanked her.

Yeah, that had to have been done for sure. I think like she's in the first episode. I think everyone was like, oh boy, we all saw what happens on social. These cast members get announced and literally every single thing that they've ever done in their life ends up on TikTok. And this...

went crazy viral. Obviously, the producer saw it and it was like, this is not happening. She did put out a statement apologizing and doing the whole song and dance after she got her phone back and everything. But,

Yeah, it is crazy to me still that like these contestants go through this vetting process to be put on the show and it's just like the Internet can find these things in two seconds and and casting somehow doesn't. I don't know how that works. But unfortunately, that's how it goes. Something like this is so serious. And like, yes, that's when it's you're glad something like that resurfaces because it's like, OK, we can it's early on. We can pull it right out. It's done. Yeah.

But already it's such a different experience watching... It's such a different experience watching US than UK, I think. And maybe it's just because we're on different sides of the internet. Like, I don't... I'm necessarily on, like, UK, UK, Love Island. Where I see some things and I know that they actually also just had something with the contestant being pulled from this season as well. The new season of UK starts, I think, this week, actually. So...

But it is just crazy because there are videos. They want to make videos of every single detail. If you even had a conversation with one of these contestants, you're making a video talking about it. I know this person. My friend knows this person. My friend dated this person for two seconds. Everyone's trying to expose everyone, which is such a crazy thing to do for a reality TV show where it's like immediately everyone wants details.

These people's like lives almost ruined. It's like let me find the worst thing we can find about these people and then talk about it um, and it really does like Take away from a lot of the fun that comes with watching a show like love island That's really not supposed to be that serious and um I think like already i've been seeing it online. So i'm hoping that it Doesn't feel that way for the whole season because it did feel like that way towards the end of season six and it was like a lot so

I'm hoping everyone can really enjoy what Love Island is. It's supposed to be fun. I love the mindset of some of the contestants that Ace, Shelly, some of these people are like, hey, it's early. Let's have fun. Let's talk. Let's meet people. That's the way that they should be on the show. I guess we should give a spoiler warning. We are talking about, we are up to date. We have watched Sunday night's episode. So if you are not caught up,

I would certainly caution you, be careful listening while we're talking about the episodes. I'm not caught up, unfortunately. Oh, sorry to hear that. I only watched the first three. Sorry to hear that. But it's just like seeing the way Ace and Shelly, and they're talking to a lot of different people, but they also have a connection themselves that you're like, but I like that they're exploring compared to what...

Hoda and Jeremiah have been in that's already super annoying to watch to be completely honest. Oh my God. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, we could start off talking about everything. So kind of like where everyone's at right now, I guess we can kind of get into that. I agree with you about Ace and Shelly. I love the two of them. Like people are like, I don't care. Okay. Because I,

ace is doing what they should be doing in these first fucking five days of the show and ariana even said that on after sun i love that ariana knows everything that goes on online and then it's like jumps back in like she and i can just tell when she's talking to the islanders i feel like like i just love it so much i love ariana um

But Ace is doing what they should be doing, which is like and Shelly is, too. She's not mad that Ace coupled up with somebody else because I sort of feel as watching. But I think if Ace and Shelly get together too soon that it will be explosive. I think if it's a slow burn where they're they have something with each other, but they're feeling other people out.

Then they can come together after that. That's what I'm rooting for because those two are endgame to me, but they can't be endgame just yet because it's too early. They need to kind of play the field so that they can realize they want to be with each other. One thing I'm not on board with, though, is Shelly being with Austin. Have Shelly be with anybody else. Austin, I...

When this man speaks, I get angry. I can't listen to this man speak. I want him away from Shelly. Like, I just... It's not a match. It is not a match. I agree. I don't see it at all. I don't know what they're... I don't know what's that... All the girls are like, he's so funny. He's so sweet. He's so goofy. I'm like, I'm fucking losing brain cells listening to him talk. I do not see it. I do not see it. You know, fine. But yeah, that was... That one was really interesting. I...

I do think that, you know, you have to be able to handle the guy you like potentially talking to some other people. Like the way Huda reacted to those bombshells coming in, obviously, I think she corrected her behavior later. She was like, oh, I overreacted. Like, I know it. But it's just like, oh my God, it was way too much. It was way too much. And I think, and I don't blame her. I know what she said of saying, you know,

I just told Jeremiah that I'm a mom and she's very sensitive to that and wanting to see how Jeremiah reacts to that. I'm sure she had a lot of nerves with doing that. So having the bombshells come right in after, I'm sure, you know, her head was all over the place freaking out about it. But...

Jeremiah seems so insanely locked in that it's like, it's making me question how genuine he is because I'm like, there's no way you're this locked in. Like, I'm sorry. Like, I just don't fully believe that for my guy. I'm sorry. That's just the way it is. And even the other guys I think are like, dude, what are you doing? Like, this is, it's crazy. Like Ace cheering for Jeremiah during that challenge. I was like, yes, cheer for him, cheer for him. And then

he didn't even, he like literally looked like he was, that girl was trying to kiss him. She was jumping on him and he was like hands in the air trying to not touch her. No, I literally was like, this is so fucking lame. Like seriously, give it a rest. It's been three days at that point and they are driving me nuts. The way that Huda like speaks for Jeremiah being like, oh, he's just nervous or this. I'm like,

You only met this man three days ago. Nobody's calling you mom and dad. You're calling yourself mom and dad because you're a mom and you're telling everybody you're a mom as if you're the first mom on earth. Like she is acting like nobody else on earth is a mom. The way that she's talking, it's like, okay, we get it.

you are a mom who came onto this show. And I think that's totally fine. I see people having opinion about, about that. Like her leaving her kid. Like we've seen it on the bachelor before. Like this isn't anything shocking or new to us. Like it happens, whatever. She's also allowed to go and find love and explore even while being a mom. That's fine. But the way, the way that she's sat them down and told Sierra that she's a mom.

And Sarah goes, amazing. Yeah. Like, okay. Like, I feel like she thinks because she's a mom, that means if no, if she's coupled up with someone, that person cannot be able to explore any other options because she's a mom. Right. And it's not making any sense to me. It's like Casa more is going to happen.

And this man is going to crack. Yeah. And we're going to see an explosion like we've never seen before, because I know he's trying to hold on tight for that hundred K. I know it. You can see it in his eyes. While hood is saying to him, like after the challenge about, you know, kissing a Maya and, and all that, and you could see it on his face. You could see it. He's like,

how much can I hold on to this a hundred K? Like it's way too much, way too soon. And Ariana spoke about it on after sun. She was like, I want people to be like ACE, like whatever, you know, because you're playing the field at first. Like this is day three, day four. We're talking about, and you guys are weirding me out. Nobody's calling you mom and dad. Nobody's doing that. I want to hear names. If people are calling you mom and dad, I want names. And you can tell,

Shelly's trying to support Huda when she's talking to her. But you can tell she's clocking it. For sure. Her and Alandria both. I think they almost have been talking to her with kid gloves. It's like, okay, I know you're upset, but let me just bring a little realness to this situation right now. And immediately she's like, I don't like that bitch. I don't like that bitch. Amaya seems like a sweetheart so far. Seriously. I don't think she was... She's coming in...

doing what they're supposed to be. Talk about bubbly personality. Yeah, explore connections and that's what they're supposed to do is bombshells and come in and explore and it's like it's weird behavior. I really don't like it. I like Amaya. I like Amaya. I think she's very sweet. I will say this may come off as harsh. This may come off as harsh but listening to her and Austin have a conversation my ears were bleeding. So that's all I have to say about that. But I think she's a lovely girl. Same.

Julie from comments by celebs sent such a funny tweet last night where it was like just the volume down button. Like as, as soon as, uh, they were talking to each other. Yeah. Um, yep. No, I mean, Austin is like, seriously, I, I really have to stop myself from fast forwarding every time Austin's on the screen. I'm like, get this man off the screen. Um, Amaya seems sweet. I agree. Uh,

Hannah and Charlie already like locked in I guess that was just that happened fast I know that moved fast too there was another person it is funny like because the Love Island TikTok scene can be so great and so crazy at the same time like there's so many amazing creators that make such funny recaps and such funny videos and I saw one girl and she said two different videos like one was like if you have not watched UK like don't talk to me about US because you don't understand how this show works

Which I thought was very funny. And then another one where she was like, I'm not ready to trust any of these guys yet. Because let me tell you what they haven't done. They haven't sent a blonde bombshell in. And we need to see how these men act when a blonde bombshell comes into the villa. And I was cracking up. And that's what they did. They sent in Hannah. Charlie was all over that quickly. Which also makes sense because he really didn't have a...

connection with anybody in the villa and then this the the biggest thing was this triangle with nick and sierra and bella and you know i really respect these two ladies because i think that they handled that so well they both clearly liked nick but they both were nice and respectful to each other and they were like yeah we know obviously be nice for nick to make a decision but

but they were both, they were trying their damnedest. They were making sure that they were getting their kisses in. Bella decided to go fucking balls to the wall on the challenge for the first time ever, kissing everybody. She's like, you know what, I'm doing it. Turning the heat up, trying to get her man, um,

She did continue to speak in TikTok slang for the entirety of her time. And it really... There's one moment where she goes, the tea is just getting hotter and hotter. It just... Oh my... She cracks me up. She really cracks me up. I really like just the constant changing of the voice depending on who she was talking to. But really she did seem like...

She had a good heart. You know, I felt that from her. I really did. And I do think Ciara and Nick have the better connection, though. I'm in agreement. Bella was a bit annoying for me, although did seem like she had a great heart and very sweet, and her heart was in the right place and all those things. My cushy on lock. Right, like...

It was funny, but at the same time I was like getting annoyed. Yeah. You know, I, I do like Sierra a lot. I, you know, I was okay with the sending home of Bella. I think it's a quick, you know, we got her, but by next week we will not be missing her. I see so many people so upset that she's gone. And I'm like,

we have so much time left it feels like you guys never watched the fucking show before it's how it feels but i like sierra a lot and i feel like her and bella were both very classy about the situation and they both supported each other and they got to know each other and they were very nice about it unlike huda with amaya like i it was just like it it kind of feels like huda is doing this thing where she's like all right

We're all sisters, right? Like, no one's going to go for Jeremiah because we're all sisters, right? Like, trying to, like, kind of manipulate everybody into being like, we're all best friends and none of you are going to go after my man, correct? Yeah, and it was, it did seem like she, it was like a genuine reaction first of her being like,

She's not a nice girl. I can just tell. I can sense it. She's just not a nice girl. And then realizing...

you know, 10 hours later that she was overreacting and like trying to backtrack. Oh, I was overreacting. It's like, no, that was your genuine, like real reaction to a girl that you don't know at all. And by who really seems like she would not hurt a fly, you know? So I, I, that was so, it was weird. She was just like, she's not an ice. I'm like, yeah, I don't know. You don't know her at all at all. You haven't even had one conversation with her to say she's not a nice girl. Yeah. Cause she, you expect her after three days to not react.

go for jeremiah like yeah i know our behavior it's very bizarre i'm hoping that they two just lock in yeah i i hope that those two just lock in so much that we don't even have to worry about them you know like some couples they they're like no we're on we're we're closed off like whatever and there's no drama with them at all then they don't get that much air time because there's no drama with them i'm like okay that can be you too you know we're gonna see the drama we're gonna see huda freak out over every person who comes into the villa even though jeremiah is going to

fake it the whole time and then they're going to explode and cost that more. Yeah. I want to talk about Alandria and Taylor. You're right. I do love it. I love her as well. I love Alandria. She's so fucking funny, like genuinely cackling out loud of some of the things that she has said so far. And while we're on the topic of Alandria and Huda.

Alandria was 100% in the right about what happened between Huda and Alandria when all the guys stood up besides Jeremiah to say that they were interested in the bombshell. And Huda was like, you guys need some real men like that. And Alandria was like, no, we're not going to do that. Like, we're not upset.

And like Alondra was 100% right. Cause she was like, listen, we're going to go talk about it with the girls after this and we can all chat about it. But in this very moment, like don't speak for us just because you think you're better than us because your guy didn't stand up after day two. Like, no, like Huda thinks she's better than everybody right now because Jeremiah didn't stand. That's how it felt. And then, and then Huda immediately bursting into these explosions,

tears about what Alandra said. Alandra barely said anything. Alandra was like, no, we're not going to do that. We're not upset. Yeah. Like Alandra was just trying to, in front of the guys, be like, cool it. Like, we don't want the guys to know we're upset or we're, we feel some type of way about this. Talk about it after.

The way that Hoda reacted was like speaking for them when none of them said that they were upset yet. It was bizarre. Yeah, I'm liking the slow burn that Landry and Taylor have going right now. I hope that that maybe does turn into something or maybe another guy comes in or we'll see what happens. But...

And I was not mad that Ace didn't pick...

Shelly and the recoupling because I do feel like we're not maybe ready for that yet of them to like fully go into being a couple I think they're still trying to feel out other relationships solely from the fact that it would have kept her from Austin I would have been down for it because I'm like why is Austin the only other option like if he if there was another option I'd be oh my god I'd be so much happier but Shelly is oh god she's way too good for him and yeah

And it was weird because I was like, oh, it felt like Ace and Amaya had like one conversation together. But I don't know if he's like nervous to pick Shelly or like what that means or and everything because they have that very like flirtatious relationship.

thing right now but I almost think it was not a tactic but I think that they are playing such a cat and mouse game right now that probably Ace was like oh it's like I we're still playing with each other like we can't be we can't be getting in bed with each other yeah we got to see how this goes so I'm hoping that changes because um I need or another guy comes in for Shelly because no no no no more no more of that pairing please um

No, we need Shelly away from Austin. So we need another guy into swoop in just to entertain her until her and Ace are ready to be together. Yes. The entertainer cannot be Austin. Like Shelly is way too good for that man. And she will realize it very soon, but we need someone else to come in and play that little, because I know Ace and Shelly are going to like the tension and the chemistry. We can feel it coming through the screen. Like we know that these two want each other. Um,

As for Alondra and Taylor, it is a slow burn. I'm hoping to see a bit more chemistry between the two of them because right now I'm not seeing the chemistry. But Alondra said that she is a slow burner on the outside. So maybe that's sort of what we're getting here. Yeah. I'm loving the friendship.

with all the guys right now, specifically between Ace, Taylor, and even Nick, like, jumping across the bed during that scene. Like, I am loving the friendship. It's reminding me of, uh, sort of OG Love Island UK days of when the guys, you know, would all become friends like that. And even last season, I mean, I guess it just... We saw it with Rob and Aaron, but it wasn't, like, one that we were excited about because they were just rooting each other on to do stupid things. Yeah. Um, whereas these guys are, like, jumping up and down so giddy and happy and, like, joking around with each other. Very, very funny. I'm, like...

I really hope, because I know right now Ace is playing the field. I hope that when the time comes, though, he does sort of settle because I love that man. And if he does something where it turns into we can't root for him anymore, I'm going to be really upset. I agree. Because I love him.

I agree he just has such great energy such great vibe you know like he really does he's really entertaining seems really sweet but yeah it's like cool yeah he he's young though too you know and like the whole like never been in love and the whole like I'm like oh boy he could pull some stupid that makes me nervous he's gonna do some stupid shit yeah exactly so you never know um but no I'm I'm

Very intrigued to see what goes on the rest of this week. It looks like Olandria spills the beans that Nick was also making out with Bella and soul ties before she left. And Sierra didn't know that. I understand being upset about that. And I don't know if it's just like the preview to like amp up drama to watch. But it's like, Sierra, you were doing the same thing. Like you were pulling into the photo booth and kissing him in the photo booth, you know,

It's not crazy to think that Bella would have been pulling him and trying to kiss him too. Unless Nick was like saying to Sierra, you know, oh, I'm not kissing her or like whatever. I don't know what Nick has said. And it's different because Nick and Sierra are sleeping in the bed together. So it's like at night they're all cuddly and like that whole thing. But I wonder if that's like going to actually cause a problem for them. But, you know, R.I.P. Bella. Gone too soon, girl.

Oh, my God. I mean, I think the thing is, though, like, Sierra has to realize... I think Sierra has to realize...

even after kissing Bella and Sultai, he did pick her. So you kind of have to be like, right, it happened. But he did pick me after that. For sure. So I'm locked in. I'm enjoying it. It's all I've been watching. Same. I know people are going to be comparing it, whatever, but we got to give it its fair shot. And I'm enjoying it so far. So yeah, we will continue talking about it. And I hope that

All right, welcome back to the Weekly Watch Report, where we talk about the things we watched this week. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. Weekly Watch Report on Monday. So, I mean, I really haven't watched anything besides Love Island. I was going to say, is this segment just going to be, so we watched Love Island and give it a grade? Yeah.

I have nothing outside of the three Love Island episodes I watched. Oh, shit. Oh, so are we just creating Love Island? I mean, yeah. Summer House Reunion Part 2, that's the only other thing I watched. Right, and I didn't even watch that, honestly. Yeah. Because we were away. Should we just skip Weekly Watch Report? No, no. Why don't we leave it in? Because, like, this is honest. Welcome to Love Island. Welcome to Love Island Summer. I mean, people locked in. This is...

So many other people are in the same boat as us because...

It takes up so much of your time, you literally can't watch anything else. Yeah, this is realness right now. So let's grade the first five episodes of Love Island. Also, we didn't even really mention that there is a little switch up with Aftersun. Sophie Monk has been hosting. It looks like Maura Higgins is going to come back at some point. There was a tease that, oh, I'll be back. Because there's a lot of rumors. Maura had a little bit of a scandal in the UK, and then people thought, oh, does that have something to do with it? And then there's rumors that...

more is actually going off to film traitors and that's why she can't do it that seems a little bit more likely right now i think especially if she says saying like oh i'll be back like don't worry so i don't think it has anything to do with the scandal i don't think so either whole video where she said she was double booked no i don't think so either so if she's doing traitors fuck yeah like i'm actually pumped for her to do traitors too and honestly perfect person to call in i know that there's probably a lot of people

that watch us that have never watched love island australia but sophie hosts love island australia i think she does an amazing job so this is a good person to uh to take over i think a lot more is gone yes i agree rating i will give it a b plus i i'm i agree episodes one through five i'm yeah i'm locked in same plus i'm i'm sat and ready to go with this season so i'm gonna give it a plus

The only other thing I watched was Summer House Reunion Part 2, which was obviously interesting because Lindsay did reveal that her and her baby daddy are not romantically together, which I think people had put those pieces together, which is going to be tough. Like she had said, you know, he's very private. She's public. Where do they kind of meet in the middle when it comes to the content? And obviously Lindsay's job is sharing her life and now she's a mom and it's...

But I'm sure it's caused some issues. And yeah, I think Paige confirmed a little bit more of some things about Craig from Amanda and Kyle's wedding. That was certainly not so great. But there's been rumors about that for forever. Everyone kind of figured like, yes, that all happened of course.

Craig being asked to leave the wedding and Paige just kind of like further confirmed that he was being shimmy destructive. It's it appeared and that Paige even asked him to apologize to Amanda's parents the next day and he refused to do that, which I think is sad.

Not great when you hear that. Obviously not great. But no, we've closed that chapter. And then I think there was a bunch of conversations between Amanda and Kyle of where they fall and where their relationship is right now. Because it seemed not good. I thought it was kind of crazy that they are doing an unseen footage episode this week.

And part of it was them filming like at the end of June last summer. It's Amanda and Kyle on the couch and they're like they're arguing they're not and they're not like in a good place at all in their relationship pre-summer and.

And Amanda even said during the reunion, she was like, I was like kind of one foot out. So you're like, wait, what? Like, how is that not talked about at all during the season? Like, it seemed like everything was fine. Obviously, they were talking about the baby stuff here or there, but it was not like a major focus of the season at all. So it seems like maybe more going on behind the scenes with them there. But at the end of the day.

Kyle can't keep working the way he is. The lover boy shit during the week. Um, Amanda even said like, hopefully they sell lover boy. It's like they, that they hope that they get to that point, but it's like, well, Kyle ever even be able to relinquish that. I don't know. So it's, it's going to be very interesting to see what happens between the two of them. Um, I will give that last one to be solid. Yeah. Solid.

Noah, what are your thoughts on Love Island? What would you rate it? I'm enjoying it so far. I'm three episodes in. I...

You know, it's hard to not reminisce about last season, but... Don't do it. Don't do it, because think about how you feel at the beginning of every Love Island season. You didn't know about it with Six. But also, last season, I didn't start. When it started, I started in the hype of it. So when I started watching, it was already hyped up. No, I think it's good.

I'll give it a B right now. Like, you know, it's good. But I also think like there aren't that many seasons that would get higher than a B after the first three episodes anyway. Like there's not going to be like crazy shit happening this early. Exactly. Yeah. So I'm looking forward to catching up. All right, everybody. That wraps up the weekly watch for you.

Okay, let's talk about Roback. You've heard us talk about it before, but they keep coming out with new products and the quality is actually incredible. First, they have the Demi Dress. Sporty, flirty, made with this buttery performance fabric that hugs you in all the right places. Bonus, it has a connected pair of shorts underneath, but they're able to be pulled down so it's bathroom trip approved. That

That is such a game changer. They also have the Steffi Active Skort. High rise, ridiculously comfy, giving full main character energy. You'll be able to do all your errands, everything you need, work out, live your life to the fullest in that Steffi Active Skort. Even if you never played pickleball in your life, you'll look like you have a 7 a.m. doubles match. And honestly, that's such a good look right now. It's so cute. That like tennis pickleball chic look.

This isn't just a cute collection. It is a lifestyle.

It is hot girl on the go. It's giving I have plans even if I don't. So from early morning matcha runs to chaotic midday errands, Roback has you covered. They also have so many amazing colors. So if you're looking to change it up, get some new colors, Roback, it's time to put it in your rotation. Use the code chicks on Roback.com for a generous 20% off your first order through the end of this week. That's spelled R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com.

All right, everyone. We are here with a very special guest. We are joined by Whitney Levitt here to talk all about Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. We are super excited. As you know, I mean, the show has taken the world by storm, including us. I binge watched all 10 episodes in one day two weeks ago. You go, girl.

yeah and I think yeah I think a lot of people are in the same boat you know it took me three but I think if I didn't have anything like if I wasn't like scheduled for something I would have been like absolutely it's an easy binger for sure so you watched it all back oh yeah I did oh yeah I like I'm watching it with you guys so I immediately when it comes out oh yeah I stayed up because it came out at 10 p.m Utah time yeah I stayed up to like 3 a.m I think I got through like

the first like four episodes. Oh my gosh. Yeah. That's so crazy because it's, and it is one of those shows that I do think people really clear their schedule and they know it's coming out because all the episodes come out at once that it's like, oh, a Friday, like we got to be on top of it. I will not be doing anything this weekend. Right. I did feel like everybody was like that. Everyone watched it so fast. I also binged it like a day and a half.

Everyone's like clear schedules because the thing is with this show and how popular it is now, if you miss the premiere, you're seeing everything on TikTok. You're seeing it unfold on Instagram. All, you know, the girls are fighting publicly and it's like, well, we need to keep. You're feeling left behind. It's like, do we miss a chapter?

Sometimes I really feel that way. I mean, the first season, I definitely felt that way because I was late to watching and I'm like, I missed everything here. So I was happy to be a little bit earlier this time around. How's it been re-watching? I mean, I...

I'm shocked but not shocked that you watch all the episodes. Oh, yeah. I mean, I have to. I have to know what other people were saying. I got to be prepared for the public perception of whatever was shown. I mean, yeah, it's good and bad. I watch it and I'll watch a conversation because you have to remember...

conversations could be hours long. And then when I watch it, it's cut down into minutes and you're like, oh, like, right. That's what they used on that conversation. Right. Oh, we spoke for 45 minutes in that 30 seconds. They got the F you part in for sure. Do you feel inclined? Like, I feel like a lot of you do. Yeah. To get online and kind of clear the air on some things. Yeah. I mean, I think it's human nature to want to defend ourselves, but there's only so much that we can because then there's the next season. Yeah.

So it's hard. You kind of just got to like let go because you can't fully be in control of that. Right. Yeah. The second season was really very different for you compared to the first. It was. Thank God I was pregnant. Yeah. I was going to say, how did it feel like as it came out? Were you really nervous for the second season to come out? Because you're like, I can't go like the first season. Honestly, I'm like the first season was so bad that I was like, whatever.

It can't get any worse than that, could it? I'm like, maybe season three. I don't know. You're like, it can't possibly, right? And honestly, like, I was so exhausted. Like, I was literally about to birth a baby. And then right after, when you have kids and newborns, like, they're getting up so much in the night, I was so tired. Which, I guess, you know, blessing in disguise because it made me mellow out.

a little bit. Right, right, right. And then your focus is on something totally different. Different, yes. So you're like, I guess I can't really... And like, remind me what's going on again. Yes. Yes. That was nice. What was kind of like your thought process at the beginning going into it when you were like, you know, I want to try and make amends. Like, I want to be in...

The mom talk group. I love that. Vote me back. Will she be a mom talk? Wait, I have to show you this video I made today because I think it's so funny. I haven't posted it yet. Oh, sneak peek, sneak peek. We're in the drafts. Okay.

Okay, so it says, my political campaign to get back to the mom talk. See, that's why you guys all play into, you know, that you have to. Well, I mean, it makes sense. You guys were mom talk. That's where it came from. That was an insane moment, and it did truly feel like it was, like, seventh grade school president, like, putting up posters in the hallway. Mm-hmm.

Yes. Is Whitney back in? I said a joke is because I needed like a group validation to say like, hey, like you're back. But I was like, already back? Like, I don't know. It's like you filmed the entire show. Yes, exactly. We're in every episode. Yeah.

Yeah, the voting thing was so cringe. And then at the end, you know, I was like, well, that was like a half-ass vote. Taylor was like, you can come back, but like, I want nothing to do with you. And then Mikayla's like, well, we already know where I stand. I was like, okay, I don't know if you guys want me.

on the air. You're like, am I back in MomTalk? You're like, I could just be on MomTalk anyway. Yes. You know? Yeah. It's more about being a part of the group. Exactly. I think people, they're like, what is MomTalk? MomTalk isn't just TikToks, guys. I don't even know what it is. But you're seeing a lot

Mom talk is a lifestyle. When we were talking about the show, we were joking. It was like, you know, mom talk has now just become code for like being in this group of friends and just like, and you know, obviously everything that comes with it now. There's so many opportunities and being on the show and everything. Well, it used to be just like friends getting together. Right. But now business is in the mix of it. So it's like, well...

you're not my friend, then you're clearly still my coworker. Right. Right. That is true. That is true. You know, you do have to kind of get along. People might, may have thought that the bake-off was like more of like a slower point in the season for me. I was very interested. I was, I was very interested. Yeah. Um, how did you feel watching Michaela back talk about the rating for, you know? Yeah. I mean, I wasn't bothered by it, but, uh,

Wait, did she beat me? I can't even remember. She did slightly. And she was like, I would never be able to live it down if Whitney beat me. Oh my God. Well, I don't know. Maybe in the future we'll have another little competition. Just one-on-one. So is it safe to say that that friendship is just...

Yeah. Like they're watching season two. It's like, honestly, like I forgot how like cruel she was to me during that time and just like so incredibly unwarranted. And so watching back, I mean, I wish that I had said more, but I think that I also like, of

of course I was pregnant and then postpartum, but I'd be lying if I didn't say like, there was also this fear where I'm like, well, I don't want to be the bad guy again. Yeah. So Michaela may have found her voice, but I actually felt like I lost it a little bit season two. Um, and yeah, cause it was hard and it sucked and I wanted to be accepted. I wanted like the validation to be back in this group for just the stupidest of things that I did season one. Um,

Do you think that's why, like, what was, like, what's, I can't even really pinpoint it exactly. What's her biggest issue with you? What's her deal? Yeah, like, well, it's like, I know there's obviously the things from the first season, but it almost feels like maybe there's more to it. Yeah. I think watching season two, I mean, something that people don't know is, like, me, Mikaela, and Macy, before we even started filming, like,

you know, naturally in a group, you're going to gravitate towards people and have really strong relationships. So it was me, Macy, and Mikaela, like bestest of friends. So I think she just hurt more because of the past. Like she clearly cared with the friendship that we did have. Yeah. Which doesn't justify, I don't think, I hope not to like how she treated me because it was just completely ridiculous. And I think she knows that now. But...

I don't think it was one thing. And I was trying to figure out what that one thing was. I think it's a cumulative of things. And maybe it's even other things that are going on in our personal life. And like, I just turned out to be the punching bag of those things.

That's the perspective I like to have with it because it hurts less. But yeah, I don't think it was just one thing. I think it's a lot of things. Yeah. I feel like you mentioned in a big group of women, you're naturally going to gravitate towards others. So it's kind of hard to keep up. Right now, who is...

best friends with who and who's getting along better than the others. And we sort of see Taylor talk about you, like, you know, letting you back in mom talk or whatever. And then towards the end of the season, we see the girls fighting with Taylor specifically Demi. Yeah. How did you feel in that moment where you, where you like,

who should I stand up for right now? Yeah, there's definitely more context to that story. Um, cause again, you are only seeing a couple minutes. So like, I still stand by like me, like, I guess essentially it made it look like I was siding with Demi, but I mean, she left and I stayed there like sitting on the couch with everyone. Um,

But yeah, I love the comments where people are like, Taylor was the only one that voted for you. And then I was like, well, first of all, I don't owe her anything. Like if she does me wrong, like that doesn't mean I'm like, yes, queen, like whatever you say. Like that's just not my personality. But no, me and Demi are really close right now. And I feel like,

We just had a lot to relate on. It sucks when you're ostracized and put on an island. Do you think, as I know, people, they've seen your TikToks with Jimmy, so they're like, oh my God, of course these two have teamed up. Do you think that maybe you have, there is a sweet spot for her because she is kind of the one that's getting the full villain side of now the second season? Well, what we didn't get to see is that relationship

for filming season two was slowly like building over time. Like it wasn't like, oh, she's the villain. Like now we're the bestest of friends. Like we were already growing that relationship. But then of course, like even grew even stronger where I was like, dude, like you're not alone in this. Like it sucks. Like nobody should kick you when you're down.

And I think she also realizes where she did go wrong in season two. But yeah. Because I think it proposes the question for Demi, where how was she treating you prior to season two filming? Because now I think people wonder, is she using the friendship just because you know what it's like to go through that thing? And she's like, oh, well, then I'll lean on Whitney because of the villain situation or arc. Did you feel that way? Or like you said, you kind of were forming that friendship

pre even anybody turning against Demi? I think I wanted to be the person that I wanted during season one. And I think everyone since I was like the villain of season one, everyone was very hesitant to get close to me. Demi was too. And I didn't want to be that person. I didn't want to be like, well, I'm not going to get close to you just because you're in this reality world pitted as like the bad guy. Like, I don't care.

Like, you're a great person. We have so much fun together. Who the fuck cares? Let's go have a good time. Right. Because you know her personally rather than on TV. And you sort of wish people were just treating you the way that they knew you rather than how the audience was treating you. Yeah. Or even just like, let's sit down and have a conversation about what happened. Right. Which...

big things. I unfollowed people. I said I'm leaving and I didn't show up to an event and I didn't show up to an event because I really wasn't in a good mental space. It's the double standard in the group where I'm still trying to like make sense of it because when Jen stepped away for her mental space like it was accepted.

But then when I wanted to, it wasn't accepted. Well, I was going to bring up Jen and ask because it kind of felt like originally it maybe wasn't accepted as much. Like we saw a little bit of hesitation from the group and kind of like prejudgment. And, you know, she didn't want you to tell anybody what she was going through. So which is, you know, respectable of you to not really share her story if she doesn't want. But then also putting you in a spot where you're like,

okay, well, they're sort of judging her and being harsh in this moment, but I don't want to tell what she's going through if they don't want to know. Yeah. No, you're totally right. I guess just like in my own mind, it seems like it felt like living it, that that was more accepted than when I did. And even after the show came out, where it was like people accepted it and then vice versa, which is, you know. Why do you think that...

Demi and Jesse were kind of like did not really give Jen a lot of that space I guess at the beginning of trying to like figure out if she's okay or she's gonna take a step a step back yeah well I think she has a habit of lying and they were catching her on these lies and so I think they were just like skeptical like oh does she not really want to have a conversation with us and

But then obviously once they like were really able to talk to her and see what she was going through, they were like, oh my gosh, like I'm so sorry. Are there things like watching that you're like, oh my God, I like Vanderpump Villa. Like are you like, I, what,

do you wish you were there or like not? Hell no. Thank God I wasn't there. Um, no, I'm so happy to not go to that trip. I'm like, keep me out of that drama as much as possible. Right. It's a lot right now. It is because I feel like it's a, he said, she said situation. Um, how do you feel about it? You're just like, keep me out of this or do you have an opinion? I'd like, keep me out of it, but like, tell me what's going on. I'm like,

Have you met Marciano or do you just have you heard? I've never met him. He, I mean, he clearly loves attention as do I, but I think he goes about it a little bit of the wrong way. He's like posting messages. Yeah. I think that, yeah, he's a very interesting guy from other people that I've met in person and from the other women that actually went to the villa, like hearing what they have to say about him.

I'm excited for the next junket for the next 10 episodes to come because so many of those questions are going to be answered. Right. Like so all like the skepticism that's happening online. I'm like, oh, that's going to be answered. Right. Right. I mean, they hit us with a strong to be continued. It was a strong.

Now we're like, when is the release date? Girl, I want to know. Yeah. I'm hoping that they announce it soon. I think it's going to come soon. I mean, you would know better than I. But I mean, the last one was in September. Was that the first season? The first. Yeah, you're right. First season was September. And so this was...

pretty quick turnaround yeah if we're talking seasons of reality tv sometimes it could take a year or so no i think for sure the fall i think for sure this fall but i just like don't know when exactly right exactly yeah very exciting is there like um a big group chat happening right now or are there separate small little group chats where people are talking about the drama um i know that there's one group chat that demi and i are in um

And then I know that, you know, there's little group chat. Yeah. You were just away with Jesse. Yeah. And we talked very, very briefly before we started the interview. Yeah. How you were saying you guys can both kind of put aside what's going on and sort of just like have a good time, promote the show and do that. Yeah. She's a very business oriented woman. I mean, look at like the business that she's been able to grow. Yeah.

and I kind of just like took her lead you know and like I wanted to have a good time like this is incredible we're here in Amsterdam we're here in London like let's just have some fun and that's exactly what we did do you know where her and Demi stand right now or I think like

I mean, I don't talk to it with Jessie and I know that she can confide in other women about it because I'm really close with Demi. But I know that they can be cordial. They're following each other again on social media. Do I think that it will ever be what it was? I mean, I don't know. There's hope. You never know. Did it seem... Was it as harsh as it seemed when we watched it? Because obviously there was like... We saw the comment about...

her business of course and then you know the don't go there for certain things and then also the comment of like

I'll take more money if Jesse's not on the show. Was it really kind of that harsh? Because that felt, I was like, ooh, that doesn't come across great. Yeah, I think there's more context to that that maybe won't seem so harsh. But I wasn't there because I didn't even know if I was going to come back season two. So I was in DeLululand and this is like what I've heard. And they're all like having conversation about the contract and

And it sounds like they agreed to something. And then Jessie was the one that didn't agree to it. So then, like, Demi was upset about that. And then... Right. So was it... So she didn't go about it appropriately. So was it talked that Jessie would potentially not be coming back? I don't think from all of the women. Okay. But I think, like, Demi...

I don't know if it was casually said, but it was just like, well, then Demi or then Jesse doesn't get to be on the show or something like that. I don't know. But it wasn't just Demi that was having conversation about the contract for the next season. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Gotcha. There was multiple women involved, but unfortunately, Demi, you know.

Yeah. Was under a microscope for her best friend. It is her best friend. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, at the time when that conversations were happening. Yeah, they were best friends. Right. See, this is what I mean. Everyone like kind of swaps best friends all the time. I know. It's weird. It's crazy. It's hard to keep up with. It is. It is. Were you there?

for the pregnancy roulette? Yes, I was there. What was it like being in the room? Because watching it was honestly heartbreaking. And I was like, I can't believe they're about to do this. I know. It really sucked. Like, I felt for Demi so much in that moment. But I also felt for Macy and Mikayla because it's like, well, shit, like,

Now, like, do we get to be excited? But then because here's someone who's like, who what are the chances picked up the one positive, which is what she's been wanting to experience, wanting to pick up. So it was just it was a disaster. Yeah, that that whole thing, as soon as it started, I mean, Demi was like, guys, this is really triggering, triggering for me. And then it continued. And I was like, why is this happening right now? We should have just.

I just don't think anybody was really thinking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And also it's like there were surprise. Like you guys didn't know. Yes. And so it's like you really you really didn't know. And obviously Layla didn't know that either. Yeah. This is just like my own personal theory from watching. Let's hear it. Let's hear it girl. But I do feel like I think it is kind of like in those moments it's seen. But I think it kind of flies under the radar that Demi is in this group. Yeah. Where Demi.

I mean, everyone's having babies. Yeah. And it's like, it feels like it's like between the first and second season, it was like pregnancy is all over the place. Yeah. And it must be really, really hard for her. Yeah. And I don't, like she doesn't necessarily talk about it openly as much, but I feel like it maybe manifests in different ways in some of these other seasons.

quarrels she has with some of the other girls yeah and i'm like it it must be like as much as she's like no i'm so happy for you it's like inside it must still be like i want this for me yeah absolutely so that's you know that's a great observation i'm sure i think it just tells it like you never really know what someone's going through yeah yeah golf season is in full swing and getting out there to work on your game is bound to make any day even better

Bold athletic styling, a commanding presence, award-winning tech, and impressive range all with an affordable MSRP.

So are you currently filming or has... We just finished. Okay, wow. I know. Holy hell. Is it crazy too that it's like... I'm like, tell me everything. Well, that's why I like, yeah, I can say like all those questions. Yeah, we get answers. Yeah, you're gonna get answers. It's just a waiting game for everyone. And when you film that, like, you know, you finish filming. Is it like a, wow, we just filmed the finale?

it's hard because I wasn't in that finale. Like I heard about it, but I wasn't there. So like, no. So I guess you don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. We'll find out together. What's like, this is going to sound like a silly question, I think, but when you guys are actually all together, how many TikToks are really being made now? You know? Good question. Like honestly,

It's a lot. Is it? And it's hard because like I'm like every time we do it, I'm like we need like a system because there's so many of us. There is a nine of us. Yeah. And all of us have platforms. All of us have ideas that we want to break out. And there's not a lot of time because then we're also filming. Right. So I'm like we need like a schedule of like this person gets this block. This person gets this block because it's always like

come over here and do this. It's just, it's pure chaos right now lately. But it's fun. What's like, I'm so intrigued by the business side of it because I'm sure there are brands that are like, hey, we want you and you or we want you and you. And then it's like, do you have those conversations one-on-one with the girls? Or like, hey, I actually need...

so and so to come over today because this brand wants us to do this together. Like, what's that like? That's definitely delegated with our representation. Okay. More so than individual. Yeah. Like we want to make sure it's fair. We want to make sure we're on the same page. But I actually don't do a lot of those. Yeah. I mainly just like, let me just stick with myself. You're twerking on the Empire State Building. I'm just twerking on the table. There you go. Yeah.

Because that scares me. Like, it's hard when you mix, especially like in this world, like when you mix business together. And then I'm like, as I'm saying that, I'm like already thinking of like, I'm about to like kind of go into business with someone else. I'm like, oh my gosh, retract my words. Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's going to be hard. That's a big step. Yeah, it is. Can you tease a little bit about what that is? Um,

Can I? I don't think I can. But it's going to be really exciting. Probably, obviously, it's not going to be in this next junket. It will be in the next one. We're obviously completely locked in. There's such a close analysis of everyone's relationships. And I know Jen has had her marriage picked apart and other people have had that as well. Or now, obviously, me and the whatever, Vanderpump Villa of it all. But...

What's it like kind of like having those conversations with your husband of like, you know, we're a united front. Like when we film together, like all these things, it always feels like you guys are on solid ground. Oh, Connor and I? Yes. Yeah. It's taken a long time to. Yeah. Yeah. Newly married. Yeah. The more that you're married.

But like through the years that you go, like the more and more I just learned communication is key. Yeah. Communicate, communicate, communicate, because I can say something and then you could take it a completely different way. Right. And then that's when chaos happens. So we communicate like crazy. It's taken a long time to get there. I was going to say, because there's a big difference from the first season and the second season. Watching you guys on the second season, I was like, they're on the same page. Yeah. And we are. And we talk all the time. We want to make sure like, you know, I'll,

Something that Connor does so well is like, okay, I'll say something. It's like, okay, well, this is what I'm hearing. Like, is that... Like, am I understanding that right? Like, just conversations, communication. So, yeah, I'm like, yeah. We're on the same page. It's good to be on the same page, especially like Fran said, when we're all overanalyzing everybody's relationships. There's rumors being spread. I mean, we saw that with Demi as well. And it's like... And how do you... Right, of course. And how do you...

sort of, is this a rumor or does this have any meat to it? Because it's been proven that there has been. I think Taylor brought that up. Yeah. And that was kind of like a soft spot. Yeah, it's hard because like even the whole Tinder scandal that happened with Connor, like I thought that was just a rumor. Mm.

So there's a perfect example. Right. But there was more to that rumor, obviously. But and maybe that's the same thing for Villa. Like, we'll find out. Yeah. You're like, I'm also waiting to find out. I'm just going to keep saying

You'll find out. I mean, the way that you're teasing the Villa stuff, I'm like, this is juicy. But what we're seeing right now every day, I'm like, ooh, this is bad. Oh, no, this is juicy. Oh, what's happening? Like, I don't know how to feel about what's coming out about the Marciano stuff. I honestly think it's going to be like a season that nobody has seen yet. Like one and two, I feel like we're so different, as is this season. And yeah. Wow. What are your thoughts on Taylor kind of being like,

I share everything and you got like, maybe she feels like everybody else doesn't share as much as she does. Yeah. Slash her being like the leader of mom talk. Well, I'm going to say there's a difference between a leader and a star. I think that Taylor's definitely the star of the show. I mean, anyone could say that. Um, and she does. She, and I love that about her. She willingly shares her life with everyone. But like, as far as leader, no, like that's,

I honestly feel like lately it's been a little bit more of Jessie. Jessie's been just like how she presents herself and has conversations. And even I felt like with me season one, before we filmed the season, Taylor kind of went away and I kind of took control of like, let's get together and keep making videos and blah, blah, blah, blah.

So I'd say star for sure. Yeah. But like Taylor's not one to like get the group together. Right, right, right. Okay. Yeah. So there's a difference. Like, hey guys. Right. I'll see you over tonight. No. You would say Jesse's more like, hey, do we all want to get together at someone's house? Yeah. Like I'd say Jesse and I would say either me or Jesse. Yeah. Probably would be more likely to do something like that.

I even did do that. I even did do that after we filmed. I mean, not everyone wanted to get together. That was pretty a rough time. Maybe too soon. Right. But yeah, I would say like me and Jesse are more likely to do something like that. Like kind of just like if no one's going to step up and like coordinate this and like we naturally will. But yeah, Taylor's clearly the star of the show. I think we need to distinguish the difference.

Right. No, that's, that is actually very true. I do think that that makes a lot of sense because she is a reality TV star. She doesn't want to be the leader. She's like, I've got so much shit going on in my own life. Like I can't coordinate a group of

group right exactly but we're all we all want to watch whatever she decides to do for sure yeah when you do coordinate like a dinner group hang whatever it is and somebody's kind of like no i don't want to be there yeah is it immediate judgment sort of like you know what you were going through jen was going through and maybe they're going through something or they just straight up don't want to be there and they're like no i don't want to come oh gosh um

Nobody's really done that yet. Waiting for the day for someone to be honest and be like, I just don't want to be there, guys. Well, trust me, there's plenty of things where I'm like, oh, well, yeah, even Macy's event, I did not want to be in there. I was not in a good headspace to even have those conversations that I know the women wanted to have. But no, nobody's been like, nah. I'm busy. I mean, when I wanted to get together after we filmed season two, I think just...

emotions were still heightened at the time. So it didn't happen. So it didn't happen. No. Yeah. But I really wanted it to. I'm like, I feel like we need like a reset. Right. Because we haven't been meeting enough outside of filming. Right. Like I wanted that. Like can we like reconvene? I feel like everyone's having misconceptions right now. Yeah, right. It's like let's talk about the cameras for seven months. Because emotions are naturally heightened when you're filming. And so I'm like, can we like –

take a breather in the Gazanix and all get together and like goodbye. And the producers are like, thank God they didn't do that. They're like, really glad everyone said no because we saved it for the cameras. Exactly. Oh my God. Who from the cast are you like most likely to set up play dates with like for your kids? Oh, Demi. For sure. Yeah. And Demi Maud, her little girl, she's like the, she's such a mommy. Like she wants to be a mommy to all the kids. Like hold my little baby. Like, yeah. Yeah. Demi for sure. Yeah. Okay.

Amazing. Well, we're like we said, we cannot wait. We can't wait to see more, hear more, watch more, honestly, follow along online because there's always more coming out online. I know. Let's see what happens tomorrow. Locked in. Like we all just want to know what's going on all the time. It's like we wish we had a feed on you guys because now we have to wait.

But we'll be good and we'll wait and we'll stop asking questions because we're going to try to get it all out of you.

You're like, this is really cool. But at the same time, everybody knows everything about my life. Yes. Because.
