What's up, everyone? It's Chicks in the Office with Rhea and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Friday. Happy Friday, everybody. Hopefully we're having a great week. And if not, we are here to make your week better, ladies and gentlemen, but mostly ladies. How are we feeling, Francesca? We're hinting towards the weekend. Yeah.

I know. I feel like I have been, it feels like this week has been so long already that by the time the game comes around, I'm like the game, I almost forgot that I'm here for a game. Right. There's so much happening. I even just like saw Kelly this afternoon and Kelly was like,

Wow, was that dinner last night? I was like, yes, it was. Yes, it was. We're just moving. It's so funny when everybody's together. There's so many different events and things going on and people running around that you're just kind of like time is moving slow. So I'm very excited for the game, the weekend. My family will all be here. They did also...

secure tickets so everybody is going everybody is going we needed your dad to be there he's absolutely the good luck charm he and your mom your mom was there too right when they won yes so your mom and your dad have to be at the game yeah listen to this uh listen to this spin that i put on put on yesterday for the dozen the uh competition was tuesday night the experts lost again

And it was the final, lost in the final. Now, in Arizona, the experts won the Super Bowl edition of the Dozen Live. The Eagles then went on to lose the Super Bowl in Arizona. The experts lost in trivia. So I'm hoping that bodes well for the Eagles team.

Because I was like, ooh, if we win the trivia again, you know, the Eagles loss after that. I really spun the loss in a positive way for me to have more faith in the Eagles. I'm following. I'm picking up what you are putting down. And I'm with it, honey. Thank you. Listen.

I have a lot of faith in this game. I don't know why. I just feel it. And if I'm wrong, then, hey, I'm no expert. But I just something in the air. I don't know why. I just I just feel it. Look, I and me and that just maybe because I'm really rooting. Yes. Yeah. And for you. So I'm like, oh, hey, why not? It's going to happen. You never know.

I've been feeling more nervous because of the amount of people that have come up to me who have been like, I'm, I'm, I'm feeling good about the Eagles. You know, I feel, I feel like it's been everyone. And that is like, I'm like, I'm like, no, I'm like, stop. I'm not you. I'm like,

it's you can you can i i'll reel it in i'll reel it in no no no and not that anybody's like look not that anybody's random per se i'm drinking i'm drinking out of this mug that says warmest energy amazing exactly but like everybody was coming up to me at the dozen being like oh fran how do you feel about the game i'm feeling good about feeling good about the eagles don't go but the eagles i'm like okay this is making me more nervous now guys um

But the energy is picking up down here in New Orleans. We're recording now on Thursday. Just walking around. Feels like there's a ton more fans. Earlier in the week, it's a little bit more quiet, but feels like there's a ton of fans running around. Everybody's in there's

in their jerseys or shirts, everybody throwing go birds left and right, you know, seeing some, some chiefs fans and, and just scowling at them as you walk past them, you know, no, no words exchanged, just a scowl, just as, and it's funny. I actually, I went to lunch with Gia and Kelly and they are filming a couple of things. And for the sake of Taylor Swift and their show, Kelly is in a chiefs sweater and,

And we went to lunch and we were walking out and there was a table of Chiefs fans by the door. They saw me, you know, they scowl. They see Kelly going behind him. The dad looks at Kelly and goes, what you doing here with her? Pointing at me. And we were just laughing as I was walking out the door. I like yelled back. I was like, she doesn't even like the Chiefs.

It gets just, it is funny. Listen, now it's the nature of the game, okay? It is, it is. And I do have a question aside from the game, because I have to say, like, I'm having a little bit of FOMO right now in a way that, like, whenever Super Bowl week rolls around, we've gone together a couple of times. Yes. And in this time, I was like, I don't feel the need to go. Like, I don't.

feel like it's necessary. I'm just going to go to Florida for the week. Yep. But now that everyone's there, I'm like, damn, am I missing out? But then I just like look up at the sun and I'm like, ah, no, it's okay. Like, I'm like, I'm like, you made, you made the right choice, but I will say this. It is hot here, by the way. No, it is hot, but you're not laying by, you're not laying by the pool or going to the beach. No. Um,

So I feel like I made the right decision, although, like, seeing everyone together, there's Super Bowl parties coming up, the whole thing. I'm like, ah. Yeah. I felt left out when I heard that you guys had lobster bisque dumplings last night.

We did. We did. How good were they? How good were they? They were really good. We went to a restaurant. That's what really got me. I was like, damn. We went to a restaurant and honestly, an iconic trio of me, Kelly and Jeff D. Lowe. And Jeff texted me about the dumplings. Yeah, we got. And honestly, like the pressure Jeff put on me because I took Jeff, Eddie and Dana to Parkway for lunch on Wednesday.

And we went to Parkway as a chicks in the office group when we were here for our live show. And we were looking for a place for lunch. And, you know, I love these guys. But if somebody doesn't take the lead, they will walk in circles for an hour looking at every, like, oh, should we go here? Should we go here? I was just like, all right, guys, if you're down, I'm calling an Uber. We're going to this place. They're like, okay, great.

Awesome. So we go, it's a success. Everybody liked it. It was a win. It's a delicious spot. So good. So good. So...

Kelly and Jeff came to the table tennis tournament for a little ping pong action. And afterwards I was like, Oh, should we go to dinner? What should we do? And Jeff was like, Oh friend, you already had a great choice today. Like I'll, I'll trust your judgment. I was like, Oh man, the pressure, the pressure, the pressure. I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. New Orleans food that well. Um, and we didn't want to go too far. We're in the French quarter, so we don't go too far. And so we picked a spot, went to dinner, uh,

seafood spot and it was delicious and we sat down and the staff was amazing. I knew it was a win when we sat down and the waiter came up to our table and said that his name was Marlon and I said oh no we're at a seafood restaurant our waiter's name is Marlon like it's just...

It was, it was perfect. And then, uh, we got lobster dumplings and then Jeff also got a lobster bisque for himself. So a little double up. I heard about the bisque. And he loved it. He loved it. We had a lovely meal. Um, so now, now if the pressure has been put on me, like even going to lunch today with Kelly and Gia, Kelly was like, I've ran a, Jeff said you're two for two now. So where are we going? I was like, Oh, Oh no. Um,

I think I'm three for three. I think I'm three for three. We had a tasty lunch as well. If there's anything I trust you with, it's going to be good food recommendations, good restaurant recommendations. I feel like we both live in that wheelhouse where we are scoping out the best of the best food restaurants. We got it covered. Me and you Italians, we know the good food spots. Can be trusted. Absolutely. Matt James would love to go out with us.

Too soon. Oh, man. No, but it's been fun. The dozen was a ton of fun. You know, losing to Dana fights and Will Compton certainly stings a little bit, but Dana...

His sports knowledge is just unbelievable. Like these questions and he knows the answer in like four seconds. It's incredible. So it was a close one. I did. I did have a little bit of a bone to pick with Kelly. I can't blame her because, you know, bright lights. She, she wants her moment and, and she took it, but they, we lost by one point. They, they called her.

First celebrity mashup for the mashup. And she gave it, she gave it to him right in my face, right, right, right at the event. And she gave it to them. And in the mic, I looked at her, I looked at her out in the crowd. I said, Kelly, I'll remember this one. I'll remember this one. And she was like, Oh, you know, she, you know what? You can't blame her because if she gets called on and, and she gets it wrong. Yep.

She doesn't want to be wrong. No, she doesn't want to be wrong, but there's a way to say, guess what, guys? I know it, but you're playing Fran and I'm not going to give it to you. And then the crowd would have went, oh, would have been a great moment. Yeah, it would have been. It would have been like, oh. It would have been awesome if they gave him the wrong answer on purpose. Yeah, that also would have been funny. But...

Yes, you know, lost by one. That was okay. No big deal. No big deal. But just right now I'm just losing things. So I'm hoping that bodes well for the rest of the weekend. You're getting it out of the way. You're getting it out of the way. The battle of the paddles, it wasn't even on you, Fran. You were the better half of your team, let's be completely honest, not to sewer your other half. Yes. But you were the better half. Yes.

I think it was actually, it was really so much fun and enjoyable. And I actually got a lot of people in my DMs being like, wait, I thought you were like playing paddle, like pickleball or like paddle. I didn't realize this was ping pong. No, no, this is ping pong. Thank God. Um, excuse me. There is a paddle involved with ping pong. Absolutely. Uh, the other sports are take a little bit more athleticism. Um, but yeah,

Yeah, I think I impressed the group, which was really a goal for me, right? I'm in front of these NFL players that are star athletes. And I think Chris Olave definitely, you know, not to put words in his mouth because he's a quiet guy. He was very sweet, but he was a quiet guy. I think when he saw I was his partner, he was like, oh, no. Like, I don't think he was maybe necessarily thrilled. And then we...

and we played against Pilot Pete and Micah Parsons, and in the first game, we won the first game. It was best two out of three. We won the first game. We lost the second two, but when we sat back down, he looked at me and was like, you play this for real? Yeah.

You're regular at this thing? Just the way he said it made me think that he thought I played in some league for fun or something. I also will probably get it on a t-shirt or just a framed saying for myself that Kirk Cousins also told me I had game. He said, you got game. Wow. You got game, girl. I said, oh my God. And oh my God, he was so nice, Rhea. He asked, so how long have you been doing your pod? We were chit-chatting. Oh my God.

he's like oh my you and i said oh you know he's like you do it once a week he's like oh no three times a week oh my three times a week he was so impressed it was it was lovely when people find out we do the podcast three times a week they act like we are doing like we are building houses from top to bottom like like every time it's very funny other i don't even know how to name it like

people that sort of work in the entertainment industry or maybe have a podcast of their own whenever they find out that we do three times a week they are shocked I feel like also it's like sometimes you'll be doing interviews and they'll be like once it's come out like expecting it to be like weeks from now you're like today and they're like wait huh yeah yeah exactly so I think that uh

I think that surprised him, but everybody was so nice. It was, I did get a little nervous to actually chirp Micah Parsons in person. I think that was fair. I was nervous in general and you know, in my head I was playing up a big game. They kept saying how I was such a big Eagles fan and then I think he started to look at me with like closed eyes and then I was like, oh my God. Now it's like, now, and we were playing him.

I don't know. I don't know. I didn't know what happened in the moment. But in the first game, we're getting competitive. We're getting into it. I think everybody realized that I was like a decent ping pong player. So they were like, okay, this is legit. Yeah. Close match. We should focus. Exactly. And...

I was looking for the ball or I was trying to hit it or something was happening. I wasn't looking across to the other team. And I just look up and Pilot Pete's head is gushing blood. Like for his forehead, there is blood dripping down his face. He's got a cut up here. He's got his... And literally, he said something along the lines of like, oh my God, first the head injuries, first the bachelor, now this. I mean...

That was the exact thought seeing that I was like, why is pilot Pete's head always bleeding when he's not really, he's not competing in competing in extreme sports. He just hits his head and starts bleeding. And he couldn't see it obviously. And so at certain points I'm like, Pete, there is blood. Like it is flowing down your forehead. Like it is, you may be concussed. When I watched the video back of what happens, it's,

Micah Parsons, who was one of the, you know, strong for some context for the ladies who don't watch football. Micah Parsons, defensive lineman on the Cowboys. He is so strong, so intense. He is coming at you like if you're a quarterback, you are terrified of Micah Parsons.

And Micah Parsons, with his ping pong paddle in his hand, goes out like this, just like full speed, like ready to hit it back. And in his backswing, he just nails Pete in the face. Just paddle to the forehead.

And I'm like, looking back, I'm like, Pete might be concussed. Like he, he really, he really took a hit. And I'm not going to lie. I think that rattled me because it was a good tactic because the next two games, he just had blood dripping down his face. Like every time we stopped in between plays, I kept looking up to be like, Pete, like, are you good? And it was distracting because there was blood pouring down his face.

I mean, that sucks for Pete. Obviously hope he's okay, but awesome story for Pete going forward. Like Micah Parsons hit me in the head with a ping pong paddle. And now I'm scarred forever from this. And he has the golf cart memory from the bachelor. And now from a battle, the paddles has an injury from Micah Parsons. And like I said, he couldn't see what it was like for the whole rest of the time we were out there.

during the, they wouldn't let him stop and like get a little, no, no, he did. He did. He, he had a towel and he was cleaning it up and whatever. And then they, you know, they found a, a bandaid for him at certain breaks, but he didn't like have his phone or, you know, just actually see his face. Yeah. So he sat down on the couch. He was like, he's like, Fran, like, how bad is it? Like, he's, he's like, is it like this thing? Because then he points to the one that he has for the bachelor. Cause he has a legit scar on his forehead. Like, wow. You saw it in person over his eyebrow.

Yes. And I was like, Pete, don't worry. It's not, it's so not that bad. Like you, I don't, he didn't need stitches or anything, but he was getting a little, uh, like a little golf ball, you know, like it was bruised. Like it was swelling. Oh, that is not what you want. Superbowl weekend. How is Pete going to flirt with the ladies with a big, a big cut in the middle of his head? I know. So I said, I was joking with one of his friends. I was like, Oh my God, he's gonna, he's gonna have,

quite the story to tell everybody at every single party he goes to for the rest of the weekend. That is true. Well, I got hit in the face by Micah Parsons and just, uh, and go ahead and tell that story. So it is a, it is definitely a story to tell. Um, it was a moment that I really like, I did, did not expect that to happen during a ping pong tournament, but it did. Yeah.

It sure did. And you live to tell the tale about it. Absolutely. We couldn't be happier that you got to witness this firsthand. I know. Inside Scoop. Absolutely. By the way, I know that...

It's not a lot of sports on our show, but for those that watch or are fans of the women in sports, Taylor Rooks was also playing with us. She is gorgeous. How beautiful is she in person? Oh, my God. She's stunning. She is gorgeous. She's stunning, and she's so cool. And I tried to play it cool with her to not be like, fangirl goals. Everything you do, I think, is so cool and beautiful.

when I see these women who like have these jobs, I'm just like, it's just so cool because really like that was growing up. That was the job that I like. That was my dream job. Right. Like, and she is so fantastic. We're laughing on the couch. We're joking. We're cracking jokes. I'm like, Oh my God, this is amazing. And then like towards the end, as she was leaving, I was like, by the way, I just have to say, I'm such a big fan. Like, I really think you're, I just like really think you're so amazing. Um,

and she is drop dead gorgeous uh and she she was so sweet she she took my phone number she was like oh you know and I was like oh my god you're so nice that's so sweet that's so cool so nice honestly I would super cool I would love to maybe down the line if what you know when she's in New York I'd love to have her on our show because I think she is like she is incredible um and very impressive and but it was funny she immediately like first thing she asked me she was like are you are you

good at ping pong. And I was like, I was like, I'm, I'm decent. I'm kind of good. She was like, Oh, come on. Like everybody's sick. But it was, uh, it was a lot of fun. Wish I wish I came out with a win.

But I didn't. You never know what's to happen this weekend. I know. Shocker, not shocker. Drake May, fantastic at ping pong. So that was, he won the one-on-one. Doubles ping pong is way harder, I think, than playing one-on-one. I mean, you get injuries like Pete gets smacked in the face. It's especially playing with bigger guys. It's very...

you're crushed a little bit. It's a confined space. So when you have more room playing one-on-one, maybe they'll change it for tournaments. That was my suggestion. Because once I started playing, I wanted to keep playing. I was like, damn, this sucks. Now I don't get to play. The fans, we only played doubles. And then the NFL players did doubles.

one-on-one I understand for time's sake it would go on forever like they're not trying to have a four-hour stream of of table tennis um but I just got the itch like you know you just when you start playing then I was getting competitive and I was like oh I want to get back out there I was watching some of the NFL players play against each other I was like oh I could be I could beat them I should I want to be playing um so maybe they'll change it but it was it was uh it was fun it was fun so

I feel that, though, whenever you get a little practice with something with any kind of game like that, once you get the hang of it, you're like, I want to keep going. I want to I want to show them I can win. So now you're waking up today like I wish there was a part two to battle the paddles so I could come back stronger. Seriously, I'm like, I mean, your partner would have to come back stronger, but that's besides the point.

No, I'm like, look, like you did great. Ask me back next year. I'm ready to go. You know, right. Redemption story. You never know. You never know what could happen next year. Exactly. I'm like, I'm, I'm, I'm ready. I'm ready to, to, to jump back in. But yeah, here we go guys. We got Friday, Superbowl weekend. Um,

The couple parties that we are headed to, it's just nonstop action down here. You got Bourbon Street, shows, bands, everything. And the streets are alive. A little bit of music, a little bit of food, a little bit of football. The Go-Birds are flying, so it's going to be a lot of fun the rest of the weekend. That sounds awesome. You enjoying your time in the sun? Yeah.

Oh, it's lovely. I mean, I'm just getting out there and just soaking it all in for as long as I possibly can because I'm looking back at home and the weather and I'm like, holy. Gross. It's disgusting and cold and

and rainy and snowy and here is just 80 and sunny all day every day like it's insane how beautiful it is here right now picked a good week to come um i'm super pumped tomorrow or today when people listen to this matt's coming my brother-in-law's coming so we'll have some fun this weekend go out a

and that's really it. I'm chilling. Super Bowl on Sunday. We're going to do a little cooking here. I actually cooked for my family last night. They love when I cook for them. They really do. They get really excited. I made enchiladas for them last night, and Luca was loving the enchiladas. Amazing. He was loving the enchiladas. I will say, though, I'm very happy to spend a lot of time with my family

Beautiful godson because, you know, it's not I don't get to see them every week because I live in Jersey City. They live on Long Island. I don't go home every week. I go home often, but I'm not there every week. So getting to spend consecutive days with him in a row and like really soak up this time with him is just the best feeling. And in the pool with him.

And just like now he is like more comfortable with me, you know, like he gets so excited if I like pop in the room. He's like and he starts like clapping. You do, you know, high fives and like all that cute stuff. So, yeah, I mean, what's not to enjoy? I will say, though, a little bit of a little bit of FOMO because part of me is like, yeah, I'm enjoying my time. The other part of me wants to be dancing on Bourbon Street with you. So it's like a little bit of both, you know. Look, I'll say it. I miss you.

Oh, I miss you too. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. It's not as fun. I was joking with Gia because obviously TJ is here as well. So that TJ is her boyfriend and Kelly leaves today. So I said, oh, you know, Gia, what do you got going on tonight? Because I said to her last week, I was like, don't forget about little old me. You know, I'm here. And she said, oh, me and TJ have a dinner reservation. I said, oh.

I said, oh, okay, cool. Maybe I'll just... Did she invite you to the dinner reservation? No, no. I said, maybe I'll just go sit at the bar and wave to you from the same restaurant. She can't let you join in on the reservation? Come on. A little third wheel action. They're going on a date, I guess. Let them go on the date. Exactly. But yeah, no, we would be having fun, but now I'll just be waving on the outside saying, have fun at the parties. Yes.

And this is where I start to text people that I don't like that, that I'm friendly with, but I like don't know. I don't know New Orleans well enough to be like, Hey, like meet me here and let's grab a drink or like whatever, you know? So I'm just like, Hey, like you're going to be in New Orleans. I'm here. If you want to meet up, like just hoping somebody invites me to something. It seems like it changes each year because like,

When we were in L.A., it didn't feel like many people were there for the Super Bowl, which was weird because it was L.A. Yep. This year, it seems like everybody...

is going to super bowl week at the super bowl like every influencer whatever is there and i'm like i guess it just depends on the year or i feel like it might be the place because it always depends on the place compacts and it's like that one street everyone's there la is like so gigantic that you could be everywhere and i think that's kind of how like it's it depends on the city last year in vegas it's

Everybody wanted to be in Vegas because it's like, oh, it's a good excuse to be in Vegas. I think same thing with New Orleans. Next year is San Francisco and everybody's already talking about like, oh, not dying to be at that one. I said that there is absolutely no reason that the Super Bowl should not be at a warm destination every year. I agree. Sorry to the cold states that get cold in the wintertime, but...

It is 10 times more enjoyable when it's warm and there's fun stuff to do outside. Come say hi. You want to come say hi? Come say hi. Yes. Don't be shy. Is he being shy? He's being shy lately. He said he's got a little shy boy act going. I guess so. He asked about you the other night. He said, where's Franny? And I thought he meant...

Oh, you were talking about we were talking about Luca. I also did. I was like, he asked about Fran. I was like, I absolutely would have never said, is your grandpa being a little shy boy? I thought we were talking about a one year old. No, I was. I was talking about my nono. He asked about you the other night. He said, where's Franny? But I thought he was talking about my cousin, Fran. And I said, cousin Franny. He said, no, no.

Your friend. And I said, oh, she's at the Super Bowl. She's a big Eagles fan. The Super Bowl Sunday. Yeah, she's there for the week. You got to try to explain Super Bowl week. Yeah, right. That's true. I haven't seen him. I haven't seen him in a while since the last time we all got together. No, he wanted to hang out. He smokes with my sister a lot. And the other night.

The other night, I went to dinner with Emma and Julie from Comments by Celebs. Love those girls. We're super close. We ended up being here at the same time, so we got dinner the other night. And my sister texted me and was like, I just smoked with Nonno, and now he won't stop telling me his story for 30 minutes in full Italian. And...

knowing my sister doesn't speak Italian. And my sister sent me the video and I genuinely couldn't stop fucking laughing. Like he's just...

babbling on and on and on he's not going in and out of like italian english he's speaking fluent italian and my sister's just going wow no way wow and i'm like he got so high he just forgot he just started speaking in full italian yeah he was like fuck this i'm i'm done trying to speak english he went back i'm going full italian full native tongue

He also does this thing where he tells me that because he was a hairdresser and my grandma was also a hairdresser, but they both owned different salons in two different towns on Long Island. And he always tells me certain celebrities came into his salon, but I just don't believe it. Like we were watching Goodfellas the other night.

And he said, he was telling me, he said, oh, they all used to come into my salon. I said, Ray Liotta came into your salon? And he was like, yes, Ray Liotta came into my salon. And then the next day I was like, Ray Liotta went into Nono's salon? And my mom was like, no, Ray Liotta didn't go into his salon. What do you think? He knows that he could lie to you guys. And because we're not around, he knows that you're going to be able to lie. Yep.

He just, he says some funny shit when my parents aren't around. I think he thinks, he's like, it's my time. It's my time to shine. It's my time to lie to my granddaughters. And we eat it up. He plays this game. It's Scopa, right? It's the Sicilian card game. I don't even know if I'm saying it right. But every time we play, he changes the rules of the game. Okay? Every single time. And...

Somehow he always ends up winning because he changes the rules mid game and I'll be like no I told you this is what this means and me and my sister are like No, that's not what it means. You didn't tell us that last time you just changed the rules. You're cheating Oh, you're cheating. You're cheating. How are we cheating? You're winning the game You're winning the game old man. Oh

He is funny. So since Matt's coming this weekend, I said to Nono, I said, Nono, are you going to play tennis with Matt? He goes, I play tennis with Matt. I said, Matt's going to kick your ass in tennis. He starts cracking up.

Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, right. I'd love to see Matt try and kick my ass in tennis. Like he starts impersonating me. So now Matt's like, you want me to go like,

full, hard against your grandfather in tennis, I was like, yes, you need to bring your A game. You cannot, this man beats everybody in everything. He never loses in tennis to anybody he plays in my family. He always wins. I need you to bring your best game. And he's like, he's like, listen, he's like, I will play.

you know i'll play good i'm not gonna fucking whack it around to your 87 year old grandfather but if you give me a look like a little nod like it's time then it's go time i'm gonna i'm gonna go as hard as i can i was like yeah we'll we'll feel it out we'll see how he's playing and then i'll give you a little nod like all right it's time to smoke him hell yeah i love it oh well he's just uh

He is just a laugh a minute. We haven't... It's fun when you do get to spend time with him because then we get new Nono stories and it's just pure entertainment. It's sad to say, but he is 87 years old. Yeah, of course. I do...

love to take in every single moment with him. And I, every time we're talking, I sit there and I say to myself, like, really take in this conversation because one day you're going to look back and go, remember those ridiculous conversations I had with Nono? So yeah, he, he doesn't smoke cigarettes, but yesterday we saw him steal a cigarette and go behind the house. And me and my sister were like,

Nono, you smoke cigarettes now? He's waving in the air. He's like, no, it's for the mosquitoes. It's for the mosquitoes. I'm like, there's no mosquitoes out. For the mosquitoes.

What do you mean it's for the mosquitoes? Just feeling a little stressed with everybody in the house. I think so. And I think he's at that age where he just doesn't give a shit, which he really shouldn't at this point. Absolutely shouldn't. But he is a funny man. But yeah, I can't wait for the weekend. I can't wait for everybody else to be here. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We're going to be talking about some topics. Madison LaCroix announced she's expecting her second child first with her husband, Brett.

There's going to be a victorious spinoff show for Trina. I have some thoughts about this. Timothy Chalamet will be interviewing Kendrick Lamar. I mean, what a perfect crossover for this podcast. Rihanna has recorded new original music.

for the Smurfs movie. And TMZ reports that Taylor Swift is upset with Blake Lively referring to her as her dragon. And we have a great game of trivia. So let's get into it.

Congratulations to Madison LaCroix, who announced that she is expecting her second child first with husband Brett.

Just some happy-go-lucky news right there. I was going to say, just start off right at the top with some exciting, happy news. I'm thrilled for her because if you're watching Southern Charm, you know that it's something that they have talked about for a while, and Brett has been dealing, you know, in the last year or so, dealing with some health issues, um,

And they've talked about that on the show as well. And she has made it very clear that she wanted to have another kid with, you know, with Brett and move in that direction. So this is so exciting. I'm so happy for her. Very exciting. The pregnancy announcement was a clear blue, you know, little paid ad for clear blue, which, you know, it's truly exciting.

If clear blue comes knocking, you just answer. It's like, oh, yeah, sure. I mean, I'm going to post I'm pregnant anyway. Why not get paid for it?

I wonder how much they get paid. That's where my mind goes. I'm like, this better be a good deal. Right, because obviously... You know, a sponsored post for your pregnancy, it's got to be. Right. It's got to be worth it. And it's like a whole photo shoot too. So of course, like they have the moment where she really does find out she's pregnant, which is not being photographed. Maybe they documented it themselves for their own photo video moments. And then you have...

I guess the opportunity where you tell the right people like, hey, I'm pregnant when I announce it. Let's get clear blue on this thing.

Right. I mean, for the right price, they get a good announcement going because I can't imagine, you know, they come with a low price like, hey, can we sponsor your pregnancy post? It's like, that's not worth it. Then they come back and they're like, how about this price? I think they pay a lot. And then they're like, all right, let's talk about it. Do we really care that we're going to be using a sponsored pregnancy post? Not for that price.

Exactly. And it's a beautiful photo, but like this, the shoot that she looks, she is stunning. She is. She's so actually texted you that the other day. Yeah, you did. You did. She is so beautiful. And I was like, she is so pretty. Yeah, she, she really, really is. So that is so exciting. Uh, and we'll see what, uh, I know that the Southern charm, uh,

I think from, you know, what we were told from Austin and Post, like they're filming the reunion now or soon or whatever. So that's going to be interesting to see what comes out of that. I was going to say, if there's any other Bravo stuff that I've seen, because a lot of interviews have been popping up, a lot of snippets of people saying, oh, do moi. This is what I said. I said this before.

Dumois says that Lindsay and her boyfriend, the father of her child, have broken up. Now, there's no evidence, nothing to back this up. She just made a post and said this is what she has heard, that this has happened. So we really don't have any more details than that, but...

Dumas saying that they have split up. So if that is true, that makes me sad for Lindsay because it's just like, that's tough. Your new mom, young baby, breakup. And it was, everything moved very fast. We all know that. It's like they've been dating for only a few months really before this.

She had gotten pregnant. So you hope that you can make it work. But of course, you don't really have like time on your side to fully know somebody. So I don't know. We don't know. We don't have any. It's a full blown rumor. Right. There hasn't been any confirmation. But if it is the case, yeah.

I do feel bad. Just had a baby. Like that is not what you root for whatsoever to have a split right after you have a baby. And then you have to learn. Not only are you adjusting how to have a baby in the first place, you're then adjusting to co-parenting right away. So that I hope that's not the case. But you never know, especially with Dumas hit or miss. So who knows? But if it was floated out there, I would say no.

maybe leaning towards that possibly being true. Totally. You know? Yeah. Moving on, Victorious is getting a spinoff about Trina Vega. Now, maybe people aren't familiar with Victorious, but Victoria Justice was the main star. Trina played her sister. We also had Ariana Grande on that show who played Kat, Kat Valentine, Stat Cass.

So we go back in time where Ariana Grande got a spinoff show from Victorious, Sam and Kat. Now we're going ahead of time where now Trina, Trina Vega, gets a spinoff.

Where is the justice for Victoria Justice, who continues to get left out of things and just, I feel like, gets the short end of the stick after being the star of Victorious? You know, she's got that... You're saying where's the Victorious spinoff for Victorious? Yeah, right. Where is...

Where is Victoria Justice's moment? Because when it, when, when Victorious was on, it wasn't even about Victoria Justice. Okay. Everybody, Ariana Grande is the best singer on the show. They did that little interview that, that always goes viral. I think we all sing when they asked who sings the most, they would say Ariana. And then when Victoria was asked, she was like, I think we all sing. So that was a whole thing. Now Trina's getting a spinoff. Sam and Kat, like Victoria Justice was never the true star of

Of Victorious, and I hate to say it, you know, I feel like she just kind of got looked over a little bit. No, that's so fair. I saw there's something that I saw she was in recently, and I was like, hell yeah. And now I forget. Oh, Suits LA. She's in the Suits LA show.

Well, good for her. I'm pumped then. Yes, yes, yes. I think that should be great. Now, as far as the Trina spinoff goes, Danielle Monáe will be reprising her role, and she will be returning to her old stomping grounds as the newest teacher at Hollywood's most elite performing arts school. She will also serve as an executive producer,

And that's, I think they're going through casting right now as well. So that's a new, that's a new one. Here's the thing with like these, especially the Nickelodeon ones too, that they do. I mean really Nickelodeon or Disney, it's both of them. They do these spinoffs, but then it's just,

They get people excited that are so-and-so our age that are the ones that are attached to these characters or remember these characters. They're like, oh my God, Trina Vega spinoff, the whole thing, whatever. Victoria spinoff. But then the show is made for kids. It's, you know, she's going to be the teacher. There's going to be a whole new set of high school kids that she's going to be teaching and a whole new set of celebs. But it's, you know, the concept comes from Victorious, but it is...

you know, just basically another version of Victorious just in the same, you know, cinematic universe. Right. It's more just like a congratulations to Danielle Monet for getting another show. Right. In which we won't be watching. Right. Because like your initial reaction is like, oh, yay. Because like your younger self is excited. But when you really break it down and you put on the first episode of the show, you're like,

I probably won't be continuing to watch this. It's a kid's show now. It's the same thing with the... Congrats to her for getting the role and having a job and reprising that, but not going to be for us. Yeah, it's the same thing with The Wizard Show. Yes, for sure. It's so exciting, happy for them. They get to go back to those characters, but it's about their children, and

And it's still a children's show. Right. And we're probably not going to be tuning into that. Yeah. But regardless, sometimes I just feel like Victoria Justice was never really recognized as the true star of that show. That's so fair. So fair. And she was so talented. So fair. But unfortunately, Ariana Grande was the best singer on the show.

Yeah, she's going to beat really anybody in a singing contest. Right. You're doing a singing contest with Ariana Grande. Probably, you know. Moving on, this is just perfect for this show, Chicks in the Office. Timothee Chalamet is going to interview Kendrick Lamar ahead of his halftime performance. How did these two link up? How did this happen? How did this come to be?

I don't care. I'm just happy it's happening. You know, I don't care about the logistics, although I do. You know, if we can hear a story of how this came about, I'd love it. But sometimes the little mystery of two people you wouldn't expect to get together coming together. I'm good with that. I know Timothee Chalamet is a huge fan of rap music in general. Throwback to little Timmy Tim. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Exactly. I think, um,

I don't know. Somebody at Apple Music must have just, at their big brainstorm meeting, said, you know what? Forget... Who's the Apple Music guy? Zane Lowe? Is that his name? Zane Lowe. Yeah. Step aside for this one. We're sending in Chalamet. Who's the one you don't really like, Noah? That's him. Zane Lowe? He's just like, I don't know, something about him kind of gives a little pretentiousness. But...

Fair. This tells me kind of that Kendrick Lamar is a Timothee Chalamet fan. I cannot wait to watch this interview. Like, this is magic waiting to happen here. Yep. I just pictured Kendrick watching, like, the Bob Dylan movie and being like, wow, I love this guy. I feel like Timothee is going to be so nervous. Yeah, I don't know. You really just... All we have is that clip of him, of, like, they're, like...

I'm so looking forward to seeing what songs you sing. Yeah, it's just, that's it. I feel like their vibes kind of match. They're both very low-key and quiet. I was watching the, Kendrick Lamar did a Super Bowl press conference type thing today. And it was funny because it's so clear that everyone is instructed you cannot bring up Drake's name and don't directly reference Drake. So every question is kind of just like,

Oh, this last year was so crazy for you. Like, what a big year, but like not actually referencing anything specific. So I'm sure that's how it'll be tomorrow too. Yeah, it's... I feel like... Yeah, yeah.

It's so hard to bounce around it because it was the biggest thing to happen. And it is what the song is about. And he literally just won four Grammys for it. So five, five, sorry, sorry, five, five Grammys for it. So sorry, Noah. So it's hard to not directly address it, but I, I,

I was going to say I understand it, but I guess I don't because like... I think I get it from his point. He just doesn't want... Because I think there are a lot of people that like... He doesn't want to make it seem like Drake is the story here and he's only here because of Drake. It's like... I think he wants it to be about the music and...

But to be fair, it kind of is because of Drake. But it's not that Drake sat down and wrote those songs. Kendrick did that himself. Kendrick produced great music when it came down to the battle.

But what was the inspiration? I also feel like he actually hates Drake so much that it's like, I don't want to talk about this guy. Right. I hate him so much. I'm going to release all these diss tracks about him. I'm going to win awards about the diss tracks I write about him. But please do not mention his fucking name to me. Have you seen that? I don't know if it was reported by someone that he's playing Not Like Us at Super Bowl, which is like, obviously he's going to play that. But now everyone's speculating with the Drake lawsuit thing.

Will he have to like leave out some of those lyrics or is he just going to say it? Or is he going to just like let the crowd say it? People are like with the lawsuit, the NFL and everyone might be worried about like,

Him actually calling him a pedophile and all that. Right, right, right. That's a good point. I could imagine the entire crowd, including Fran going a minor. Yeah, I was going to say, I feel like he could just do a fill in the blank moment. Like just, just, just tee it up and then have everybody else sing it.

I saw there's basically what they did at the Grammys. There was a tweet that they were like, there's going to have someone on stage that like holds up a sign that says allegedly like after every year, that would be kind of funny if they did that. You know, it'd be very funny. Drake is a betting man. That man loves to gamble. He loves to watch sports.

Imagine this year he's like so fucking pissed he can't go to the Super Bowl because Kendrick's performing. He's literally in Australia. He went as far away as possible. He literally went across the world to avoid anything having to do. He literally performed at one of the Super Bowl parties last year.

True. I mean, he was a surprise performance last year. It's hard to say that like this week isn't worse than the week that like the song came out, but this is a tough week for him. Like the Grammys and then Superbowl, like I saw him. I,

I saw him in Arizona, too. He performed at one of the parties I was at. Drake lives for the Super Bowl. Not this week, though. Not this week. And the Grammys being last Sunday, Super Bowl this way, he's like, fuck it, peace out. I'm going to Australia. I'm surprised he didn't fly to Turks and Caicos. That's his spot.

but he's in Australia. He said he's got to go farther. Yeah, he had to go so far into a different time zone that'll fuck up his body that he's asleep when the Super Bowl's on. He's got to just ignore the whole thing. He's probably playing with kangaroos. Oh, what? The Super Bowl's on? The Chiefs may win three in a row? If I'm Drake, you...

I can't go to sleep while the Super Bowl is on. You're telling me that he's not going to wake up and watch the performance? I need to see what Kendrick does here. He's going to be eyes glued to the Super Bowl. And if it's not directly on his screen, he's looking at his phone, watching. What are people saying about this? What is Kendrick doing? What did he say on stage? He's, you know... Kendrick is the same way for the Grammys. There's no way he's not...

interested in what's happening because it's about him. Like you're telling me the whole world's watching this guy call you a pedophile and you're not going to like tune in? No, you're definitely in tune to what's happening. Maybe he's not directly tuning in, but he knows...

exactly what's happening but i'm excited for this interview by the time our episode comes out the interview with kendrick and timothy will be out it's releasing 7 a.m on friday so people will be able to drake did announce a new album on valentine's day with party next door

Drake has a new album coming out on Valentine's Day, A Party Next Door. Yeah, and their collab album is coming out on Valentine's Day. I think it's called, like, I don't know. It's like next week. Yeah, that's next Friday. It's like no one knows or cares because Kendrick is just like all anyone's talking about. But I think the album is called Some Sexy Songs.

I'm down for that. Like the preview that he posted is like very much in that vein. I'm Valentine's Day type. Yeah. I like some party next door songs. And then, yeah, at his Australian. I don't see a single post about it. He posted like a video, like a real and like the caption says it. But and then at this concert last or like whenever this was the past few days in Australia, he was like,

I have a solo album like when the time is right like like I need like to have a conversation just me just like teasing all the stuff but yeah Drake delivering a sexy comeback interesting it will arrive sexy songs for you a joint project with Party Next Door yeah I mean hey people are still gonna listen it's Drake you know yeah I'll be turning it in same it's not that type of thing where people are gonna be like oh no one's gonna people people listen it's Drake

Original music. New original music for the Smurfs movie. When I originally saw this headline, I jumped up, beaming, smiling, yes! Rihanna, new music! And then I just fell back down into my chair when I realized it was for the Smurfs movie.

And I said to myself, why? Why is Rihanna making music for the Smurfs movie and not actual music, which I respect because she's got a lot going on. She's got a billion dollar business. She's got a family. Her husband, boyfriend, baby daddy, whatever A$AP Rocky is to her, is on trial right now. So there's a lot going on.

But then I thought, did she do it for her kids? You know, do her kids love the Smurfs? Like, maybe that's why. Like, why? Why the Smurfs movie? This is like Justin Timberlake and Trolls. I can tell you why. They're probably paying her a truckload amount of money. Right. To say, like, the studio's like, hey, we want a Rihanna original for Smurfs. And here's...

millions of dollars for one song. And you're like, she's like, okay, I'll do one song for Smurfs.

And who could blame her? But you know what? As a fan, we all get really excited when we see the headline and then we just go, womp, womp, Smurfs. We'll still listen. I was going to say, just because it's for the Smurfs doesn't mean the song isn't going to be catchy as hell. I know that people have their feelings about Can't Stop This Feeling. You know, it was played nonstop for so long and now it is always at...

every wedding event, like you're constantly hearing that song, but...

It's from the troll. It was originated from the trolls movie. So if we're thinking like we could, we could get an absolute banger pop song from Rihanna for, for, for the Smurfs. You're right. We could be working with an award winning song coming forward. Something about being blue. Who knows? You're right. The possibilities are endless and we get, I guess we will just take what we can get, you know, as Rihanna fans, um,

If Rihanna wants to give us a new song and it happens to be for the Smurfs movie, we're going to take it. We just were greedy and we're greedy because it's been a long time. I have to say, you know how we talked about like the timing. She's one of the Smurfs.

Oh, well. Yeah, she's in it. She changed her profile picture to like a Smurf version of her profile. Well, now we just sound like idiots. We sound really. Now we just sound like idiots. She is Smurfette. She's quite literally the lead Smurf. So of course she's singing for it. I take back everything I just said. You know, I take back everything.

I want to take back the last four minutes. To be honest. Of everything I said. Yep. Yep. Yep. And just say, Rihanna is Smurfette in the Smurfs movie and she's releasing new music for the Smurfs movie because she is a Smurf. Yep. That's the whole story. And that's it. There's no commentary really that goes with it. Like she is playing Smurfette so she has a song in the movie. Period. I'm disappointed in us. But we'll move forward from this. Yeah.

Wait, I'm looking at, okay, right now I'm looking at- To be honest, I didn't even know that she, I didn't even know that she, I really, I did not know that she was actually playing a Smurf. One day ago, which I guess I'm blaming the Instagram algorithm for this because somehow everything gets fucked up on this algorithm and you don't see things. One day ago, she wrote In My Blue Era and she posted-

But like she's Smurfette and she wrote Smurfs movie. And then the next one, eight hours ago, Smurfs movie in theaters, July 18th. So if like, I would have just went to her Instagram. I would have seen one day ago. She posted herself as the frigging Smurfette. I hear some people. It's like that you follow and you just don't get their content. Like how it happens with everybody. How is Rihanna not showing up on my feed?

But how is my good friends not even showing up on my feed? You know, like the algorithm, just go back to the chronological order of Instagram. That's all I'm asking for Instagram is to go back into chronological order where when I scrolled on my feed, it said posted three minutes ago, posted 56 minutes ago, posted 15.

Three hours ago. I want it in chronological order. I don't want a post from four days ago popping up on my feed. I just want it in order. The non-chronological post is what TikTok's for. Okay? I want Instagram to go back to their chronological posts. And then we would have seen Rihanna's post. Freaking Instagram. We would have known that eight hours ago she posted the full trailer for the movie where she...

And I guess we're going to have to buy tickets to go to I-18.

I guess we have to go July 18th. All right, so let's just ignore that entire topic. We'll pretend we didn't do that. Yeah, Noah, cut this out. And that we knew she was a Smurfette the entire time. Okay, next topic. Rihanna is releasing new music for the Smurfs movie because she is a Smurfette in Smurfs. She is literally the Smurfette. She is Smurfette. She's playing Smurfette. I do want to say...

That you know how we've talked about dinner times like when we eat dinner. Yes. And mine's like usually on the earlier side. Yes. Not this damn early though. My dad texted me at 430. Dinner is ready whenever you are. It's 430. 430. It's 430.

No, 430 is ridiculous. No, 430 is ridiculous. This is a ridiculous. 430 is. No, it's ridiculous. And I and I won't even say it's because of my nono because my nono refuses to go to sleep until 12 a.m. Yeah, he won't leave the case. He's bedtime is 12 a.m. How does he make it that late without having another dinner? Yeah.

I don't know. If I'm eating dinner at 4.30, I'm hungry. I'm having a second dinner. And I'm staying up till 12. I'm hungry again at 9 p.m. Right. I'm having a second dinner. Yeah. Like this is, it's 4.30. It's 4.30. Whatever. 4.30 is insane.

My mom made chicken collards, though, so I'm happy about that. Beautiful. Yeah. Okay, guys. Last topic. Last topic. Last topic. TMZ reported that Taylor Swift is apparently none too pleased with Blake Lively. A source very close to Taylor Swift told TMZ she's not happy with what has gone down with Blake Lively. Blake Lively referring to her as one of her dragons.

She also believes that the timing of the meeting with Justin and Taylor, that Blake had planned that so that Taylor would show up around the same time that Justin was leaving and that they would have to cross paths. The source said that Taylor said nothing to Justin besides the fact that she was super excited to meet him because

That is her friend's boss, which felt like was a line thrown in there. Like, I don't know if Taylor directly said to Justin Valdoti, I'm so excited to meet you. You're my friend's boss, but who knows?

This rumor about Taylor Swift being upset with Blake Lively kind of started last week or the week before from other outlets, but not confirmed. I feel like when TMZ gets a hold of something, sometimes there's some more confirmation there because other sources will tell TMZ things. Who knows? I go back and forth on this. Part of me believes like when Wells put that video out and was like, Taylor Swift is probably looking at this like,

I'm not your dragon. I sort of had the same reaction. Like, Taylor's got to be like, um, excuse me. I'm no one's minion. I'm no one's dragon. Do not refer to me as such. But they are super close friends. So...

Maybe they can get past and maybe she saw the text and got upset and is not holding it against her. I don't know. I really want to know the dynamics now. I want to know more. It's become such a hotter topic now because she has been named and there's rumors that she could be deposed within the lawsuit and then that would have to be on record that the lawyers would then talk to Taylor. But the TMZ article says

Taylor came to Blake's apartment. But sometimes I also think that it's all bullshit. I don't know. For TMZ, a well-connected source close to Taylor tells TMZ, Taylor keeps such a close circle that I just don't find...

anybody that's actually close with Taylor talking to TMZ. But here's what it says. Taylor came to Blake's apartment at the time Blake told her to, not knowing anyone else would be there. In other words, Taylor had no idea there was a meeting going on with Justin. The source goes on to say, Justin was about to leave after the two-hour meeting as Taylor walked in, and she was introduced to Tim for the first and only time. We're told all Taylor said to Justin was how excited she was to see the movie because he was her friend's boss. Our source says Taylor believed Blake timed her meeting with Justin so Taylor would arrive immediately.

Before he left and is baffled by Blake letter later characterizing her as her dragon. The source adds, it's weird to say that about a friend. Uh, then there's a picture of the text again. The sources, Taylor is also learning. Blake has been inappropriately leveraging her name for a long time. Like telling a young actress that Taylor quote cast her, which simply did not happen. Um,

TMZ dropped a new podcast Wednesday where they asked Justin's lawyer about subpoenaing Taylor for a deposition. This could potentially have a big falling out. Taylor's godmother to one of Blake and Ryan's kids. But one source close to Blake has a different take telling TMZ, Blake believes the relationship is not strained with the two still talking regularly.

Another source close to the situation says Taylor was pissed about the extent to which she was involved and specifically she was angry about the dragon's remark, but Blake has since apologized and they had a good cry and hugged it out. That to me feels way more realistic. I know like TMZ is going to go with the more sensationalized part of the story first, which is a source saying that she's pissed, this, that, and the other thing. She got set up at the meeting, the whole thing. At the end of the day, it probably went down more like that of like,

it's Blake's one of her best friends. She is that text. Sometimes, you know, when you have the most famous woman in the world as your best friend, you maybe get a little cocky and throwing it around a little bit. I think Blake got a little cocky. She said they threw out that dragon's text. It was a weird fucking text to send. Um, I, I think from what the other things we've read, Blake may have a wacky sense of humor and, um,

Thought that maybe it'd be interpreted as funny. I don't know. Regardless, it was weird. And I think that Taylor probably was...

I'd imagine annoyed if it was me I'd be annoyed so I don't you know I don't I don't know how you're not but once again it is one of her best friends so it's something that you're like hey why the fuck are you calling me your dragon like that's and Blake like being like oh my god I got caught up I don't know like I was I don't know why I said that like I was trying to like strong like maybe like big big bro him a little bit like I was trying to you know whole thing and

I'd imagine Taylor being like, okay, it's fine. Just, you know, cut it out. Never fucking do that again. Just like cut it out. You're my dragon, bitch. Yeah. Like the article said, they're so close, godmother to kids. There's just so many connections in so many different ways that I don't think something like this causes a complete breach. I think something like this

like, I think you're fucking annoyed. I think you're like, wow, I really wish I wasn't dragged into all this. And now like could potentially be subpoenaed to, to, to have to, you know, speak on record in court. Um, and that's, you know, a pain in the ass at the end of the day. Like this is not Taylor's problem. This is Blake and Ryan's problem. So I'm sure as trying to be a good friend, it's like, yeah, I'll help you in any way that I can. This is fucking annoying, but okay. Well,

Right, right. Like, you're pissed. You don't want to be dragged into it. But such... Like, one of your best friends... I can't imagine this being, like, a friendship-breaking thing. Yeah. But something that you're definitely annoyed about. Right. And in the end, probably turns out okay, but you're like...

just never fucking do that again. And you probably seriously have to apologize a ton. Like, sorry that I dragged you into that. Yeah, totally. And look, depending on the whole outcome of this whole thing, maybe it is a friendship breaking thing. But, you know, I don't know how many pickpockets

we're going to see of them like heading into New York restaurants together anytime soon. Not a chance. Not a chance. Taylor is not being spotted with Blake Lively anytime soon. I'm wondering how the press is going to go down for a simple favor with Anna Kendrick. Is Anna Kendrick going to do press with Blake Lively? Because if I'm Anna Kendrick, I'm probably like,

I don't know if this is the best thing right now. Like, how do you handle this whole situation? It's probably a mindfuck of trying to... You want to promote your own movie, but she's in the spotlight right now in not a great way. How do we go about this? You're probably very confused. Also, if you're great friends with her, you want to be there and support her and be her friend.

But then you're as big as Taylor Swift and your name, if Taylor Swift's name wasn't being dragged into it and she wasn't used in any capacity, then I could see Blake and Taylor hanging out. You see them spotted out, whatever. They're best friends. But now that Taylor was dragged into it, whole different story being spotted out with her. Because you absolutely know that... Now there's legalities. Yeah, yeah. And you absolutely know that Taylor's team and...

that protects her so much and protects her image and has worked so hard to do that probably want there to be like a little bit of a separation at this time. Imagine we say this all now and Blake and Ryan are like in Taylor's box at the game on Sunday and we're like, oh, well, okay. We might be wrong. This is all speculation. Totally. It could be

hanging out so not right so not out of the realm of possibilities that they would like go to the game at Taylor so right it's not I mean they were last year so it's very possible they'd be there again unless they're going into hiding and they don't want to be seen out or they're like fuck it we're gonna be seen out we're not gonna let this stop us so that's a very high possibility we could probably have no idea what we're fucking talking about and TMZ could be so wrong and all these reports could be wrong but this is what's being reported so completely who knows

knows but that wraps up the topics and that wraps up our last episode before the big game on Sunday where we are sending Fran and the Eagles all of our great vibes their way for the rest of the weekend and for the game we do a little Eagles chant with me to end the podcast which one you tell me sister just you know just just just

You know, just spell it out. Just don't pull a mayor and spell it wrong. I was going to say E-G-L-S-E-S. No, I was going to say the right version. The right version. Not that version. All right, you lead it off. Okay. E-A-G-L-S-E-S. It's going to be hard because we can't do this on Zoom. We're speaking at different times. No, okay. Run it back. We got this again. Come on. I'll start it. I'll start it. Okay, okay, okay. E-A-G-L-E-S.

Eagles. See, the tough thing is, is, you know, your voice picks up, then mine picks up. Just doesn't pick up at the same time. Okay, how about this? That's going to sound silly. It is. It is, but we... The intention was set. Exactly. The thought was there. How about this? Fly, eagles, fly, yeah?

That's a little different melody, but I liked it. It didn't feel right coming out of the mouth. I thought you were about to start singing Fly Me to the Moon. That is actually where I adopted it. I thought you were about to go into fly like an eagle. Oh, ooh.

I like that one too. Fly like an eagle. Yeah. Vibey. Okay. Well, best of luck. We'll be rooting for you. I packed some green gear to wear on Sunday. Amazing. So I'll be sporting that and best of luck. Best of luck to all of our fans out there, whether you're an Eagles fan, your Chiefs fan. Hey, I'm happy for you guys either way. Okay. All right. That wraps up the topics.

We're about to get into a great game of Beat Rheanne Fran, and this segment is sponsored by Ouai.

Who...

this might be a foreshadowing of what's to come in this game. I don't want to say that. I don't want to say it, but welcome to the show guys. Yes. Thank you for having us. Thanks for having us. It would actually be so funny if I just like blamed it on trivia. I was like, well, you know, it was, I actually, it's Noah's fault. It was foreshadowing. It was foreshadowing. Um,

All right, well, we're ready to start if you guys are ready. Yes, we're ready. Awesome. All right, guys. It is 15 questions. If you get the question right, you get the point. If you get it wrong, the other team can steal the point. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. To determine who goes first, Noah's going to give us a movie. We're going to guess the Rotten Tomatoes critic score of that movie. Whoever is closest will get to go first, and we...

I'll get our own individual guests who will alternate between teams for guesses. So Noah, what is today's movie? Today's movie is Set It Up. The one on Netflix with Glenn Powell. Yep, yep, yep. All right, so one of you guys guess first. Let's go 64. Maria? 58. I will go 75. 75.

That does it because it's 92. Wow. I knew it was high. I knew it was high. I didn't know how high it was. That was higher than I thought. That's high. Yeah, that's really high.

Shout out Allie from Rhode Island.

Spray it with some water, pat it dry, and then use the facial radiance pads. I just think it preps my skin so well for the day, for skincare, for makeup. These facial radiance pads, they are such an easy solution for all your skincare needs, but

dull skin, uneven skin tone, you name it. They're formulated with lactic and glycolic acid to gently exfoliate, brighten, and help refine the look of pores. They leave behind a glow and a smooth canvas for makeup, which I love. So that's why I love it in the morning because it's such a great prep step for makeup. You can also use them at the end of the day for a second cleanse as well to help remove any leftover makeup or dirt.
