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! Yeah, happy Friday! Happy Friday! Hey, hey! Woo! How we feelin'?

I'm good. I'm excited for the weekend. It's Easter. Oh, yes. Which is really flying under the radar. Happy Easter. Happy Easter. Really flying under the radar. It is, yeah. Yeah, it's going to be a lovely weekend. It's going to be out soon.

Long Island. We're doing a mixed bag Easter, which I'm very excited for. My siblings will be there. Meemaw's coming. Nice. And, you know, kind of mix of my family, Joe's family. Love it. It'll be great. It's going to be a fun time. Excited. That sounds like a wonderful Easter. Yes, it does. That's lovely. I imagine Easter's flying even more under the radar for you. It is. It is quite flying under the radar. Also, Matt's birthday is Friday. Oh, happy birthday. Yeah, happy birthday. Yay.

That's also flying under the radar. 31. Yeah. 31. You know? And yeah, Easter is at my aunt's house. We're going. Yeah. I did say months ago that I wasn't going. Like I was like, guys, this is the Sunday before my wedding. I'm not going to Easter. And then...

Now I'm like, yeah, what else? What else are you doing? Sit home and be, you know, like antsy for the week to start. Like, I'll just go. So we're just going to go to Easter. So that's on Sunday. And yeah, actually, pro tip for everybody out there. Maybe. I don't know. We are getting married in a church and the church told us to not get florals for the church because all of the florals for Easter are still going to be up.

So we didn't have to get florals for the church. That is a good hack. Because they have. Cheat code. There is cheat code. And I think I said this, where then they were like, and then we have the couples that get married around that time come back the next year and help decorate. Right, right, right, right, right.

Or is like, you know, they actually leave us a really nice donation. Yeah, right, right. And I'm like, you know. That's lovely for them, the ones who go back. Of course. The ones who go back and participate. That's very nice. That's very nice for them. But yeah, that was a little cheat code. We didn't have to get florals for the church because Easter is the Sunday before. Because it's Easter. But we're fishing one week away. One week. Oh my God, I'm so excited. Like, I'm just like, can I get here?

Yeah You know I know people are like Next week's gonna fly by I know people are like No just like soak in the final moments Before but like I That is true But I

I'm really just excited to be married. Yeah. Like besides, you know, the wedding day, obviously super exciting and like seeing our vision come to life and everything we planned and, you know, all of our, it is really, we were talking about this, like it is really cool that like you have everybody from all walks of your life together in one place celebrating you. Like it's really such a beautiful thing. The only time it ever happened. Yeah. And it's, it's amazing. So super excited about that, but I'm really just excited to be married too. Like I feel like,

my life and me as a person has only improved greatly since Matt and I have been together. So I just can't wait to continue that into our marriage. Like I'm like, yeah, like just every day, you know? And I just, I just can't wait for like, and it's cheesy to say, but like this next chapter, like I'm just so excited, you know, it's, you know, the, you use those cheesy terms, but it is what it is. And I, I'm just so excited for it. I can't wait. It's going to be great. Like I was looking at him like, you're,

next Friday at 4 30 p.m you will be my husband husband yeah oh my god okay wait I'm so excited but you know gotta get through the weekend gotta go through Easter you know the whole thing yeah yeah yeah and then Monday and Tuesday we have to record right you know I still have to come to work so yes oh we still have work to do so a little bit hopefully yeah

If we're mailing it in next week, don't blame us. Don't blame us. I've been mailing it. I've been uglying it up. Besides my hair. I got my hair done. Your hair looks fantastic. Thank you. I got my hair done. You really aren't. You look beautiful. Oh, thanks. I feel like I'm like...

Once again, like when I look in the mirror, I like what I see. It's the freaking cameras in this place sometimes, you know, uglying it up in preparation to like be like, wow, on the rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Yeah, yeah. But I did get my hair done, added some highlights. You know, I've gone. Well, you've been doing it for the benefit of your skin. I have.

No, I'm doing it for the benefit of my skin so that you slightly made it sound like you're like, I want everyone to see me look as bad as I can so that they're even more impressed. That's part of it too. It's like, let me ugly the fuck up so that when I step out, they're like, holy shit. Like, oh my God, she's stunning. She looks amazing. No, but I'm actually doing it for the benefit of my skin. Your skin looks great. Thank you. It really has been responding very nicely to the no makeup. So I'm really trying to keep that up.

and you know treating my skin well and I got my hair done and I added highlights which you know everybody knows my hair journey like sometimes it's darker sometimes it's lighter I went darker in September but like really just a light brown and then it gradually got darker because of the winter and I did a glaze and it got really dark and that's too dark for me my hair but I liked it because it was making my hair really healthy like when you don't have to highlight your hair so like I you know sucked it up for like a couple months of like how dark it was and then my hair just like refuses to stay brown though like

When I go in the sun for one day, all the highlights come out and I'm in, I'm a natural brunette, but my hair wants to be blonder. Like no matter how many times I dye it darker, the highlights come out. Um, me maybe because I've been literally highlighting my hair since I'm 10 years old and that's not an exaggeration. It's been since fifth grade. So, you know, it just feels like me. It's, it just, it feels like me. It should be legal that my parents were, you know, getting my hair highlighted when I was 10 years old, but.

That's showbiz, babe. You know? That is showbiz. I was a showbiz kid. Yeah, yeah. You know, that happens. I was going to say, for any other reason, no. But like for... Showbiz. Toddlers and tiaras. Yeah, literally. Toddlers and tiaras. That was me. And so this feels like me, you know? It's like bright enough. Some highlights. Fresh. Ready to go. Oh! I'm just like...

You know, I feel like I'm sparkling. Like, I'm sorry. That's like so cheesy. But I do. Like, I like woke up this morning and I was like, oh my God, I'm sparkling. You have a glow. Shining. You have a glow. Thank you. Thank you very much. Sarah called it a bridal glow. Oh, it's true. Thanks. Thank you. You know, I appreciate that. I do feel. I looked at myself. Oh my God. She's shining. So yeah, that's how I feel right now. Good. And super casual plans for Matt's birthday. Yeah.

We don't really have anything planned. We were like, you know, we're going to go to dinner on Friday. Keep it casual, you know, because... Yeah. We got big things to celebrate. Exactly. In a week. Exactly. You're just trying to get to the good stuff. Exactly. Not that a birthday isn't good, but... No, but, you know, he's like, it's 31. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Yeah. It is what it is. Speaking of, though, sometimes I'm like, I can't believe I'm turning 28 soon. Yeah. Like, I still... Like, I'm not so young anymore. I'm not old. I am young. Yeah. But when...

we used to do this show and people would come in and ask me how old I was right there were times where it was like I'm 20 I'm 21 yeah yeah they had a shocked reaction they'd be like you're doing this show at 20 years old 21 now it's not it's like you know now we're perfectly normal yeah you're you're a full-grown adult now so yeah I feel like there's something else I wanted to share but um yeah that's that's kind of it for me I I have um

My brother launched a new product this week that he's doing a little party for tonight, which I'm excited for.

And it's a new bag. It's named after me and my sister. As it should be. Yeah. My name takes this beautiful leather tote. Yes. So I'm excited to see that come to life. And that's about it. And because of the party, I don't know if I'm in my outfit. I was like, I've got to make this outfit last throughout the evening. And I'm...

Wearing my standing jeans. Ugh. Yeah. The worst. Yeah, that is. Sitting in standing jeans. Yeah. Yeah.

There are standing jeans and there are sitting jeans and everybody knows that. Exactly. And I normally have them one size apart from each other. And the standing jeans are a little tighter and they're not meant to sit in and it makes it quite uncomfortable to sit. I'm like sitting in a weird position. I wouldn't think about it too much. You look fabulous. Thank you. But like, you know, you just feel it. Yeah, I know the feeling. Your jeans are just cutting across your stomach. Oh, I know the feeling. When I went to dinner last week and I unbuttoned my pants under the table and blocked it with my shirt.

And I didn't tell anybody. I said, this has to happen. I can't fucking keep my pants buttoned. No. Because it's too tight. Nothing's worse than wearing your standing jeans to dinner. And then you're sitting there and you're like, I'm unbuttoning these and I don't care who knows it. You put yourself in a bad place. We are going to pick up my dresses today. You're coming with me. I have an irrational fear that kept me up all night last night that the last time I went, I never put my veil on with the dress.

I know she has it because I dropped it off. But I have had this fear hit me last night where I'm like, what if I show up later and she doesn't have this veil? It's because you haven't seen it. Because I haven't seen it since I dropped it off the first time. The second time I went, we never took it out. So I'm like, does she have the veil? Did she misplace it? I don't know. She has it. Don't worry, she has it. The only place it could be is there. Yeah.

But I was, I'm like, do I call her? No, I'm going to see her soon. Why would I call? But like this irrational fear of her not having my veil. I started looking up places in New York City that I can get a replacement veil just in case. Even though-

I have no idea if she has this veil or not. I assume she does, but I didn't see it the last time. You're like, I already have a veil in my cart. I have a backup plan. And she doesn't have it. I have a backup plan because... She 100% has it. Yeah, we'll find out in a couple hours. 100% has it. We'll find out in a couple hours, babe. There's no way. I mean... That's like a...

Job description number one for, you know, they have to hold on to these items. They're precious items. The last time I was there, she was on the phone with somebody and she was apologizing profusely. And this is something I didn't want to hear. Oh, apologizing profusely being like, this has never happened in my entire like time of work doing this. Like she's old and she's been in the game and, you know, rave reviews and,

I apologize for all my times. This has never happened. As I'm putting on my dress and I'm going, hmm, this is not something. This is not something you want to be. I didn't inquire. I heard bits and pieces. Maybe it could be the other side. Maybe she was the diva. Maybe it was just a scheduling appointment or something simple as that. I didn't hear exactly what it was because she was telling me, you can come at this time, whatever. And I was like,

I don't want to be hearing this. What went wrong? Yeah, right, right, right. But I just tried to block it out. And now that's where the does she have my veil thing came in. Like, did she misplace this woman's veil? Yeah.

So did that lady have the exact problem that I'm making up in my head right now? Yeah. Total side note, some real lore to add. Something in the office, there's just a random thing that happened. Daryl Strawberry, ex-baseball player, popular ex-baseball player, was in the office. Was on the Mets for a long time, right? Yeah. And I kept having this strong connection. I was like, why do I know Daryl Strawberry? Like, why?

Somewhere in my life, I have passed Daryl Strawberry. Like, I know something having to do with Daryl Strawberry. First time that he's, I feel like he came to the old office. And when I, the last time I was like, no, I think like my brother, when he used to play baseball, I think like Daryl Strawberry came to one of like the camps or something, like did something with the kids. But turns out that's not true. And I was just like making this up in my head. And it was actually a different baseball player. I don't know. My head was rattling. So I call my dad at work and I'm like, dad, what is the connection to Daryl Strawberry? Like,

and my dad's like I don't know like like you're thinking of so and so like and you're also naming this baseball field that is not the camp you're thinking about the whole thing and I hear my sister in the background being like we met Daryl Strawberry at IHOP and I'm like what and she's like we met Daryl Strawberry at IHOP and apparently when my house was on fire long time ago there was my house went on fire this is a back story but

You probably can't say your house is on fire without explaining how your house is on fire. Wait, was that the one time where I was like asking you for stuff while your house was on fire? No, no. My house legitimately actually like...

Like a real fire. Yeah. It was really cold. It was freezing. And my mom and my brother were in Florida. My grandma had broken her back. And my mom went to Florida and my brother went with her. I think this was during like a February break or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like school. Yeah. So my brother. Like a President's Day weekend or something. Yeah, something like, you know, because we would have a random week off in February always. Yeah.

And me and my sister stayed with my dad. And my dad was going to take me and my sister to the movies. And he went to go take a shower. And the pipes were frozen in the shower. So he took a heating torch and tried. And my dad is a very, like, construction guy. Like, he knows. He knows what he's doing. He didn't know what he was doing here. Yeah. He lit the whole bathroom on fire. Like, went up in flames, the whole thing. I had a bathroom and an office. Yeah.

Now I just have one large... The reason the bathroom in my house on Long Island is so big is because it actually was two separate rooms. But then it went on fire and they just said, fuck it, we'll just make this into one bathroom because it's just too much. The wall went down. It was a whole thing. The firemen came right through my house. They hosed my entire house down. They ruined part of my house.

It was a whole thing. I mean, they were doing their job. Yeah. But I remember I ran out of the house with no shoes on because my dad was like, get out, get out of the fire. So I ran out with no shoes on. We went to my neighbor's house. My neighbor was like, okay, I'm going to take you guys to IHOP to distract us. Yeah. While also hiding. And by the way, I'm talking about the neighbors that came to Jonas Conn. Yep. Yep.

while also hiding the fact that their hamster died the same day. So Mare, who's the mom, hid the dead hamster from all of us because we had a fire going on. There's far too many elements to this story. And the dead hamster. And she was like, listen, let's just all go to IHOP. And apparently when we were at IHOP, we met Daryl Strawberry. There you go. And it comes all the way back around. And I said, damn, if only I knew that when I passed him in the office today. I could have been like...

I met you in an IHOP when I was about yay big, no shoes on, and my house was on fire. And he would have been like, cool. He would have been like, okay. Cool. Wow. Don't remember. Yeah, he'd be like, sick. What's the appropriate follow-up to someone saying that to you? Is your house okay? Yeah, no, I don't know. And I was young, too. Like, I want to say...

second or third grade. I don't actually remember exactly which grade it was, but I specifically remember not wearing shoes. Which is why I don't really blame you for not specifically remembering it was Daryl's job. And we didn't actually... Nobody told my mom that my house went on fire while the whole time she was in Florida. She came home and found out? Because she was dealing with my grandma. I broke her back. So my dad was telling all of my whole family, do not tell her that this happened. And...

I remember we picked them up from the airport and we had to say, no, no, we took them upstairs. Like nobody said anything in the car, like nothing. Like my dad was just like, we have to show you something. And then we just took them upstairs to see that the, the upstairs was, it was like a surprise. Yeah.

Surprise! Surprise! The bathroom burnt down. Yeah. Surprise! Got something to show you on the second floor. Big renovation happening. We're just going to have a big bathroom. Yeah. That is what happened. Yes. Oh, man. Yeah. Meanwhile, my poor grandma hurt back. Yeah. R.I.P. That's not why she died. She died from cancer, but that's, you know, whatever. We don't have to get into that. I miss her, though.

It's random. I do, though, because... Sorry, I'm rambling. Don't say anything. Let's see how long she'll keep it. Oh, I'm also sorry. Like, it's just... It's like, it just wasn't funny at all, but you were like, it's not why she died, though. It's not why she didn't die from break her back. She died from cancer, very sadly, in 2015. But...

Last week when I was in Florida and my nono me my nono were dancing together and It was so sweet. He was like I wish my wife was here She would be so happy to see this and I was like mmm then nono called me this morning And he's at my house on Long Island right now my parents house. Yeah, and he calls me he's like hello He said hi. What are you doing? I'm like I'm getting ready for work Okay

Bye. Bye. And my dad texts me, OMG, tough conversation. I was like, he just rushed me off the phone. But he called me and he's like, yeah, I don't know what that was about. Yeah. Did he like think you were in the house or something? Yeah, I think maybe because sometimes I think he forgets I don't live there. Yeah. Well, everybody else does. Right. Right. Everyone else lives there. I live in Jersey. And I think he thinks like, where is she? Like, come downstairs. And I'm not there. And I was like, I'll see you Sunday. Okay.

He said, okay. Okay. I said, oh, riveting conversation. Not to continue. Grandma Betty would have added a lot to that conversation. Not to continue on the sad, that sad train for a second, but it did make me think about it because I really like need a, I need another show to throw on. We were talking about ER earlier.

And I don't know if it's just because I watched The Pit and then Pulse and like there's all these medical shows. And I was like, now I got this itch to watch like medical shows. So I was like, I've never watched ER. Let me throw it on. They were all on Hulu. And I'm watching and like in one of the first episodes, there's just like very sweet old married couple. And the wife is dying and the husband is like,

I don't want her to die. I literally like started sobbing. It made me so sad. That breaks my heart. It made me so sad. She's talking about their long life together and she's got grandkids. I know. That is sad. I mean, I'll say this. I spent...

A couple years ago, I spent some days alone with my nonno. And he said to me that when it's his time, he will be okay with it because he'll be reunited with his wife. Yeah. And I will always remember that. So when he does sadly, you know, I will carry those words with me. As you should. Because it was really sweet to hear that from him. Yeah. But side note, less sad. Speaking of shows...

I know Noah knows the answer because I wrote it in our group chat yesterday, but I wanted to have you guess. If I gave you 20 guesses of which show I started yesterday, I don't think you'd ever get it. And I'm interested. I'll give you three. You will never get it. You will literally never get it, but I'll give you three. Do I get a hint? Maybe give her like five questions. Okay. Like 20 questions, five questions. But I don't know if I can answer them all. I'm not going to lie. But there's a lot of seasons.

And it was a network show. It's not like. It's not on anymore. There's been spinoffs. It was on like Fox, NBC, CBS. No, not one of those. It was a network show, right? It was a network show. Yeah. But it wasn't one of the major ones. But not one of the ones you named. So Cable. It was on Cable. Yeah. Cable. So yeah, maybe. Yeah. I've actually never watched it, so I don't. Ooh, many seasons. I would never get it. You just started it.

And I started it sort of, yeah, it's a cable channel. Cable. Cable. Okay, so it's on like. And. Reality or drama? Drama. Okay. And I didn't start it willingly. It was on starting from the first episode at the hair salon. But then I got so captivated I watched three episodes. Also random for that, this might be like a hint too, that that was playing at a nail salon. Seems like weird. Hair salon? Or hair salon.

They always change it up. The problem is now everything I can think of is just from network TV. It is a show you would never expect to see on at a hair salon. That has a lot of seasons. A lot of seasons. Not a show you would think I'd ever watch. It's a little gory at times. Ooh, Walking Dead? Yes. Wow, there you go. Yeah, yeah. Gory, yeah. Yes, The Walking Dead. I watched three episodes. I was...

People fucking love The Walking Dead. So captivated. I've never watched it. No, people love the show. It's one of those shows I hear that they did so many seasons at at some point it just fell off. Well, yeah, but it's the same. You could say that if you've never seen Grey's Anatomy, I would still say go back and watch those early seasons of Grey's Anatomy. They're still so good. And The Walking Dead, they also have so many spinoffs. No, they do. And everything. I was blown away. They still make them, I think. I couldn't wait to see. Yeah, they do. I couldn't wait to see what was happening next.

And I didn't know that I would ever be interested in The Walking Dead, but I was. Wow, I would have never thought that either. You should give The Last of Us a chance because it's like somewhat similar. Well, now I'm... Okay, well, I can't do multiple zombie shows at the same time. No, no, no, no. I'm only, you know, one at a time here. Wait, while we're on the topic of shows that we're watching, I have to...

go back to the weekly watch report where I said, you watched Jon Hamm's new show. Yeah. And I was like, oh, isn't that like, isn't there a murder in that? And you both looked at me like, what are you talking about? Well, I completely. Well, I didn't know. I didn't watch it either. In the first episode, yes. It literally, the opening shot is a dead body. Oh. I blocked it out of my head because. So there is a murder. There is. And I knew something big was going to happen, but I don't know why I just blocked it out. So is it like a little like dead to me-esque thing?

The very... I actually enjoyed it, the first episode I watched. So did I. I mean, I gave it a good grade. It opens on Jon Hamm waking up next to a dead body, next to him, like a murdered... You know, dead to me would be maybe... It's not as cheeky, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But...

It's a bit more dramatic. Yeah, okay. But I think they're still funny. I saw that our guy, James Morrison, signed on to join the second season. Oh, he did? Of Your Friends and Neighbors? Yes. He would fit perfectly into that. He was also in Dead to Me. Also in Dead to Me, that's why.

While we're also on the topic of TV. Yeah. Least favorite episode of the studio. I agree. Oh, I haven't watched it yet. Shoot. Not like least favorite. It's still like I enjoyed it. Still enjoyable. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Around like his assistant who like give me celebrities. Oh, oh, I do remember. I saw the preview. It was about Chase. So he wonders. Yeah. And I will say this. That's Chase. He wonders. Yes. Oh, I didn't even realize. I will say.

You hear Chris Hemsworth's name mentioned, you think you're getting Chris Hemsworth. That's what I thought. I was like, he's going to meet with Chris Hemsworth? He said he's going to meet with Chris Hemsworth, so you think, oh my god,

We're going to get a Chris Hemsworth cameo? Yeah. No. So don't get excited. That's a letdown. So don't get excited. You can't. You say Zac Efron. Yeah, right, right, right. I appreciate the warning. And then you get Zac Efron. Yeah. And then he says Chris Hemsworth. He's going to have martinis with him. That would have been great. That's what they said, martinis with Chris Hemsworth. And I'm like, oh my God, we're going to get him having martinis with Chris Hemsworth. I was pumped. I was like, oh, this is going to be amazing. No. Also, it was like the storyline. I was like, I don't really care. Yeah, I'm in agreement. Yeah. Just.

But still solid. Still solid, but just not as good. Fair. I have to watch still. Yeah. Well, don't expect Chris Hemsworth. I will. I will make sure I don't get too excited for Chris Hemsworth. Leave your expectations low because Chris Hemsworth is not in this episode. No Chris Hemsworth noted. All right. Let's get into the rest of the show. By the way, sorry, The Walking Dead again. Will I just turn that on? Yeah. Oh, I like looked at my, I saw the light appear. I was like, oh, there we go. You put the sign on behind us. It barely even shows on camera. Yeah, it really does.

I have yet to, like right now it just feels like a tough time to be like watching The Walking Dead. You know, like I don't know how much time I'm going to have to like watch all the episodes of The Walking Dead the next week or on my honeymoon. I don't foresee me watching The Walking Dead on my honeymoon, but like I'm going to table it and it is something that I could see because I went to go look something up yesterday after the third episode and I was like, no, no.

Just wait and go watch it because I want to know what happened. Yeah. But I'm like, don't do that to yourself. Just watch the show. So we'll table it for now. There you go. One more thing before we get in to the show. Yeah. I got word from somebody who spoke to Kenny Ortega directly because they've been lucky enough to meet and be mentored by Kenny Ortega. OK. You know, I don't want to give the full background here, but they had sent him the High School Musical clip.

that we posted. The question. The question. About the spring musicale. Yes. To get feedback. Yeah. Number one, it's the winter musicale, not the spring one. True. There's a scene where an opera singer auditions and Miss Jarvis says, perhaps for the spring musicale. Right. So it's actually the winter musicale. And number two, Bop to the Top wasn't a song written by Kelsey for the musical. It was a song Sharpay and Ryan chose because they wanted to show off their talent. Right. Yeah.

Good clarification. That's so true. Bop to the Top wasn't part of the actual show that Kelsey had written. No, it was because they always messed around with Kelsey's music. Remember Sharpay and Ryan? So this was just a song Sharpay and Ryan wanted to use to showcase their talent. Got you. Got you. So it wasn't source. Yeah, and this is confirmed from Kenny Ortega, and she said she could provide screenshots. So we're going to take it from the man himself. No, I believe that for sure. I think...

I think the question really threw us for a loop where we were like, oh my God, you're so like, but yes. These all seem like reasonable answers. Yeah. Like it's actually a very simple answer. Yes. Kelsey wrote the winter musical. And Sharpay and Ryan always just perform their own songs. And they just took another song from something else to show it.

And they were like, and everything else. That's why Troy and Gabriella worked with Kelsey because it was her music. Yes, exactly. There we go. There's clarification. All right. Clean our hands of that one. Feel a lot better going into the weekend now. Anyways, moving on. Let's get into the topics for today's show. We're going to be talking about the new Love Island spinoff show, Life After the Villa. People have been asking for that.

There were rumors that Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus were going to be on Lil Wayne's album, The Card was Six. But now it seems like Lil Wayne is maybe just stealing a sample from Billie Eilish. Miley will be on it. But Miley will be on it, which I fucking love. But I don't really understand the musical lingo behind how they described the Billie Eilish credit. Confused about that, but we'll get into it. Justin Bieber's former circles worried about him as a rep slams reports that he's in million dollars worth of debt. Not good. And we're going to be talking about the Time 100 most influential people list.

Peacock officially announced a Love Island spinoff show. I think people were waiting for this. They wrote, you asked, we listened, Love Island Beyond the Villa, parentheses, working title. Working title. Coming this summer with Janae Craig, Aaron Evans, Miguel, Leah, Kaler, Connor, Serena, Kenny, Olivia. Why am I naming their full names? Liv and Kendall. I'm literally reading the thing when I could have just named their names. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But,

Very exciting. Yeah. I think I'm kind of shocked by this cast. I thought that Leah Miguel would be like, fuck off. I'm never doing something like this ever again. But, you know, maybe the timing was right. Yeah. The way that it was proposed was right. The one shocking thing is Cordell's not mentioned and people are like, why isn't Cordell mentioned? There are rumors that maybe he got cast for Traitors. Hmm.

And they're like, okay, maybe he's going to do something else so he can't film this show right now. But Kayler has been definitely posting a lot, hinting at things, tagging Peacock, looking like she's filming confessionals and whatnot. So, you know, I'm all in on a spinoff show. I'm shocked by the Connor edition.

Yeah, good for you, Connor. Yeah, how'd you slip in there? Rob couldn't make it. Well, Rob is not on there. Rob's not on there either. Rob did say on his Snapchat or wherever it was someone asked and he said, I will not be a part of it. It might have been an Instagram story. He said, I will not be a part of it. I'm shocked by Aaron. I'm shocked that Aaron's in it. There's a lot of elements to this I'm surprised by. I'm shocked by Aaron too because it does feel like socially a lot of them are still seeing each other so it makes sense. I feel like we've seen Kendall with

Liv and Kayla are a lot. Do you think that Kendall and Liv are trying to bait people into thinking they're dating? Not even necessarily. Not like bait people into thinking they're dating, but I think just create conversation. Yeah, they knew that was going to get engagement. It's going to get comments. I don't think they're trying to get anyone to be like, oh, they're dating. I think it's the same shit that they do with the Montana Boys. Like when they post with the Montana Boys. I'm like, well, you know, whether that was hookups or blah, blah, blah or whatever. But

It is. And then, of course, you have, you know, PPG. Maybe it's like, Leah was like, if Serena and Jani are going to do it, I'm in. And it's also different because it's not Love Island. It's a whole, something Love Island's never, at least Love Island USA has never done before. Where now it's more of like, my guess is just their day-to-days. Yeah. And what life is like.

beyond the villa working title working title like in i just don't know like aaron i feel like i haven't seen in the mix at all no i think maybe that's why it'll draw some even more people right like we haven't seen him what's he up to is he even in the united states i don't think so but i think that they'll just follow him wherever he is then it's like then it all gets kind of thrown together i'm very intrigued by this um

I wonder if they'll change the name since working title is what they put in the announcement. But Love Island Beyond the Villa does kind of, that's what it was, right? Yeah, Beyond the Villa. I mean, it makes sense. You don't have to workshop it too much. You don't really have to overthink it. Beyond the Villa makes sense. Yeah, like, you know, maybe they said working title because they don't want people to get mad at that title. But I think if they were to go with that title, it's fine. Right. I don't think you have to work it that much. Right. Totally. Maybe. Maybe.

No, that would actually not make any sense. Just kidding. What? I was like, maybe Cordell will be doing Love Island Games. But why would he go on Love Island Games? He's in a relationship. Yeah. No, I kind of forget sometimes that Love Island Games like has the romance element to it too. The most likely, I think, aspect would be that he's doing Traitors. Yeah. Which would be fucking amazing. Yeah. If he was doing Traitors. He would be good, I think. Yeah, he would be good. I think he'd be great. Yeah. Yeah.

I think he'd be a terrible traitor. No, but actually he might be a good traitor because people would never suspect him as a traitor. Yeah, I kind of think that too. But I would love to see him on that show because they're together and well, you know? Yeah, yeah. Those shows would have to have no overlap because then it's like if they're filming this Beyond the Villa and he finishes Traitors and he comes back and she's still filming, is he just not allowed to be in the show? I don't know. I'm very confused by that. I just don't see a world where Serena's...

filming Serena's life wouldn't have Cordell in it in some way. Right. I mean, I'm sure it'll be mentioned and people are like, oh my God, did they split up? I'm like, no, they were just together at Coachella. Like there's no way they split up. And even if they did split up, they would probably film that. Like, but I don't think that's the case whatsoever. So it's very interesting he wasn't named. And I'm like, they can't just forget him. It's not like they just, they remembered to put Connor in and didn't remember to put

Cordell like something something's up yeah for sure and I think it's because he's probably doing a show especially when they have literally everybody else but Rob but Rob has said he wasn't like he was out so it's like you know it makes sense and if Cordell doesn't say anything about it he's totally just doing another show I'm very convinced Connor got the call because Rob said no

Right, right, right. They need like a single, another like single guy in the mix. Like they're just, that has to be the only reason. Yeah, I think that makes sense. Because all those other couples are still very much together. Right. And I don't imagine them all filming together all the time. It's not like they're going to put them in a house and film them. I think they're just like filming them separately. Sort of.

Yeah, but then they all have to be together. Like, it's got to be kind of... Maybe that's why Rob's not involved? Yeah, it has to, like, kind of be Real Housewives vibes. Right, where they meet up eventually. Their day-to-days are being filmed, but then these four people are going out to dinner together or live in Kalar or host a party that everybody's coming to. You know, there has to be... I feel like Kardashians, like, they're all separate lives, but...

Yeah, but that's different because they're family, you know? It's like... They're family. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm very excited for this. Me too. I think it's going to be great. And I'm curious to see when... Obviously, if they're just announcing it, Kayla's posting, filming, I wonder when we'll see this. Like, if it'll be all the way... My guess is still the end of this year. I'd imagine it'll be post-pandemic.

Love Island season seven. Yeah, for sure. Oh, for sure. Like they'll do it after and they'll give because people miss Love Island again, but then they'll be like, but wait, we have last season's cast with a behind the villa. Right, right, right, right. I'm guessing I'll go like season seven.

Maybe that show and then Love Island Games? I don't know when Love Island Games is seeking any help. I know. I asked you that the other night. I was like, when is Love Island Games? Yeah, I don't know. I went down a rabbit hole trying to find out when Love Island Games is happening because I was like, they announced that it was coming back for 2025. They did. But it came out like during the winter time last year. Yeah. So, I don't know. Yeah. Maybe they're waiting for another cast of potential contestants. Yeah. You know, like if they do it after season seven, there could be a whole...

Another group of people.

That could potentially go on because they'll have, you know, season seven people could go. You need some fresh meat. Yeah. Yeah. Then season seven will air. People will miss the season six cast, of course. And then they'll give them this behind the villa show and be like, oh, you're welcome. Right here. They all are. Yeah. But I'm excited for all things Love Island coming up in general. Same. I can't wait for a new season. I'm like in Love Island withdrawal, like after the other ones all ended. I know. I can't wait. It's going to be so good. Just like that time of the year, you know, summer, Love Island. Love it. So there was.

random rumors that Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus were going to be on Lil Wayne's The Carter Six album, which I didn't even know he was making. I'm excited. Miley Cyrus is on the album. Billie Eilish, not on the album. And it wasn't a random rumor. It was in the Rolling Stone article that came out for Lil Wayne. But Billie Eilish is not featured willingly on this album. Yeah, no. What does it say? It says...

Billie Eilish feature, it's not a collaboration. It is an uncleared sample. So basically Lil Wayne just like sampled

her voice from some song and is probably just rapping over it as like a beat and that apparently isn't cleared by her. So I don't know if that'll be like not in the album or if they'll just clear it and it will be in the album. Yeah, that's very confusing to me being like, oh, it's an unclear. When you read that to me the first time, it was like uncleared sample. So it's like, oh, so that sounds bad. That sounds like they're using Billie's voice.

because like song without permission and do that all the time and stuff where you rap over like you sample a song and rap over you probably don't have their permission but if you're right on like your album you obviously need to get like legal yeah i wonder if they like asked her label billy probably saw that headline today yeah like i'm so confused and honestly like if she i wonder what's on although i could hear some little like happier than ever into a lil wayne song but if she was asked

then I feel like she'd be willing to do it. But if you're not asked and it just gets stolen, that's where that pisses you off because you're like, you could have. Right, right. Oh, bless you. It just came out of nowhere. I didn't even know that was coming. Yeah. There was no warm up. There was no build up. There was no warning. There was no tingling your nose. Nothing. That one came out of nowhere. Andrea Bocelli is on the album. Oh my God. Andrea Bocelli. That's amazing. And Bono apparently. Wow. Wow. Quite the. My favorite singer. Quite the group. You got married in Italy. Yeah. My favorite singer. Yeah.

That is quite the group. That really is. It's so funny because every article now that you go, it still says Billie Eilish. Like, that's just going to be what people think. Yeah, I mean, I guess whatever the Rolling Stone... They really fucked up Rolling Stone. Yeah, right. It was like Rolling Stone wrote it that way. Now they're probably backtracking so hard. And that's probably... I wonder if, like, Billie's team even...

I wonder if they're finding out about it from that, which is probably not good. They're probably like, well, pay up then. You can just use this. Yeah, I have a lot of questions about that. Not going to lie. Doesn't sound clear. Don't think they know what's happening with it either. This says one song on the Carter. This is the Carter five. Six. Six will include opera titan Andrea Bocelli singing Ave Maria. Damn. Okay. That may slap. You never know. Okay.

Lil Wayne also said in the Rolling Stone article that he will never do the Super Bowl halftime show. The moment's passed. He seems really butthurt about it. Yeah, it was just like they had the chance...

I think he feels taken advantage of by the NFL. It's like he got led on. He said he didn't watch Kendrick's. He's like, every time I looked at it, I wasn't really interested in what he was doing. Well, yeah, I know. He was like, respect to Kendrick, but I just can't. He's really salty. He's pissed about it. He's a New Orleans guy. That's like me saying I won't date Sidney Sweeney. Well, no. It's not the same level whatsoever. Not even close. Lil Wayne actually probably had a shot at the Super Bowl. Lil Wayne certainly could do the Super Bowl halftime show.

He absolutely could do this. I'm trying to be harsh, but the level is not the same. It's not the same, but you get what I'm saying. I get what you're saying for sure. I don't think he will be. I think the NFL, I think he's more mad because I think they probably had conversations about it. My guess is they probably had conversations. He got excited about it. And then because of the moment and everything, they were like, no, we're going to go with Kendrick. We want the more popular. Yeah. We want the headlines and stuff. Yep.

Hey, well, you know, Super Bowl doesn't have to worry now because he's opting out. Don't expect to see him ever performing. Whether it's his own show or even performing with somebody else off the table. It's not happening. Don't count on it. And I would bet you can also count on not hearing Billie Eilish on his album because it feels like... Yeah, that's not... People are still saying, though, like, it's an unclear example as if that's going to go on the album. Like, so I'm confused by that. It just feels like kind of like a risky game. And from a quick Google...

An uncleared sample, which is what we're...

You know, we're right that it's just, you know, sampling without permission and it could lead to legal action. Some people just do it and they don't care about it because they don't get sued and it's fine. Yeah, Billie Eilish, they're going to sue. That's what I said. I had the opposite take. Noah says he doesn't think so. I just feel like artist to artist, she probably is like a fan of Lil Wayne and is like, yeah, like use it. Like, why not? I don't think that that's how it works anymore at all. Like, I'm pretty sure people are like, you need to ask for permission to use my song.

That makes sense. I completely get if she does sue.

But I also could see her being like a cool artist who's like, yeah, I love Lil Wayne. Like, I'm honored that you would like sample. I would be like, I love Lil Wayne, but I want to get paid. Yeah, exactly. Like, sure. But you're going to pay me. Right. Like, that's cool that you want to use my song and all, but it's my song. And like, but you're paying up. Yeah. You're going to make all the money from it, but it's sampling my song. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't even know. So I know I didn't even know Lil Wayne was coming out with the Carter six. I mean, this is hard to me today as well. Of course. I mean, I have the Carter five.

We all know the drama behind the Carter V. Where were you when the Carter V dropped? I'm looking at you, don't remember. To be honest, I have no clue and I don't know the drama. Like 2018? And I have no idea. You didn't... I remember we saw him perform at the Super Bowl.

When did the Carter 5 come out? It was like 2018 when we got the Super Bowl. Maybe 2019. It came out in 2018. But you guys don't know the lore. I know he couldn't release it for a long time. For years and years and years, he couldn't release the album because Birdman had him under a crazy contract. He couldn't release his album. And then finally, he was able to release the album. But it was like years. When did the Carter 4 come out? The Carter 5 was supposed to be released in 2014. Oh, shit. And it didn't get released until 2018. Yeah. Damn. Damn.

That'll crush the momentum. He had a lot of disputes with Birdman. I actually loved the Carter Five, though, I will say. I think there's some bangers on there. There's one about him, I mean, it's kind of depressing, but trying to kill himself. I actually really love that song. Yeah, it's a good song.

The Carter six will be very interesting. Yeah. With all these additional features. All right, moving on. With all these additional features and potential lawsuit. Yeah. It'll be interesting to see unfold. I wonder what Billy song he did sample. Yeah, now I do want to know. I'm really stuck on it being happier than ever. I don't know why. My favorite Billy Island song is Bad Guy, but I don't know why. No.

- No, I think like the slow. - Justin, you've already hopped on that. - I think like the slow beginning of happy. - What's up my terminology today? Hopped on that, slap, banger, like chill out. - You already hopped on that track. - Yeah, nah, Justin already hopped on that little bro. Relax. - But can you imagine like the beginning of happier than ever? - It'd be sick. Happier than ever is my favorite Billie Eilish song. - Yeah, I could see it being that. - So that would be cool, but you know, legally.

Moving on, which, you know, this is a tired topic at this point, but it was reported that Justin Bieber's past circle is worried about him, and his rep slammed reports that he's millions of dollars in debt. Listen, I don't know what else to say anymore. Justin Bieber is at Sexy Red's, like, birthday party, like... He's having the time of his life. Having the time of his life, posting... He's literally posting, like, on his story, tagging people, being like, a night we'll never forget. Yeah, I saw that. And I'm just like...

What? Like, I don't know. Like, I'm trying to like refrain judgment because I am. He is going through something that is sad. But is he not going through something like, right? I don't know. Like, are we judging him? And he's actually perfectly fine. That's why I'm trying to like reserve judgment. But at the same time, we all know that it.

looks a little weird. Right, the optics. You know what I mean? Like the optics don't look great. You know what I will say though? I did love seeing him post still with his friend Chaz from back in the day. That's an early...

Bieber fan throwback was like he had his friends from Canada that were like his best friends and everyone knew who they were. And I'm glad that he's still in the mix. Like that made me happy to see him him still in the mix. I was like, oh, that's a that's a hometown friend. Keep your hometown friends around. Exactly. And also looks like he I don't know for this to be coming from the story was published in People. I think it coming from his old quote unquote like old camp or

is very telling too because he's really dropped like all those people. And I don't fully trust that old camp because I don't think they had Justin's best interest at heart for a lot of things. And Justin now looks like he's also dropping some new clothes and a new clothing line. And Hailey said she's working on her favorite jacket of all time. Skylark. Skylark. I wonder if that's an odd to chip. And I think that...

Drew And Drew House Is not him anymore He said No longer exists Because I'm sure No it exists Well with him With him It's just He's not attached to it anymore But that's what I'm saying Like it's like The old people Are still running it I think Cause I mean I got an email About a Drew House Drop leg last week So Yeah I don't know Just the optics Just like

The people article said people once close to Justin Bieber are concerned about him. He is facing a lot of different demons right now. The source says he's making some really poor decisions lately, further impacting friendships, money and business. The insider adds people are worried about him. Uh, among the stressors that Bieber is dealing with, allegedly they, they mentioned, uh, the Diddy trial coming up, strained relationship with former manager Scooter Braun. Bieber is also publicly severed ties with his fashion brand Jew house. Uh,

He's got his new clothing line called Skylar coming out. This update comes after a former team member told The Hollywood Reporter that Bieber was, quote, lost. Seeing him disintegrate like this, it's watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose. The former team member told the publication in an article he's lost or no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him. You say no to him, you get blown out.

A rep for Bieber slammed this story and the source saying this is just clickbait stupidity based on unnamed and clearly ill-informed sources disappointed that they are no longer working with Justin. As Justin forges his own way forward, these unnecessary stories and inaccurate assumptions will continue, but they won't deter him from staying committed to following the right path. It's crazy. I mean, I can only imagine that there are plenty of people that he's worked with in the past that like would sell a story about him.

Or like try and make it sound like he's not okay because they're not all working together anymore. It's like, oh, paint him in the bad light instead of painting the former team in a bad light. Right. On that side. Because I'd like to give...

Justin, the benefit of the doubt on that one, but I don't know. It's tough. It's a lot. It's really, you know, it's old camp versus new camp. It's like... There's a lot going on right now. It really is. And it's getting a little repetitive, I feel, but... Yeah. You know? Right, right, right. I understand, optics-wise. Yeah. It just feels like every week there's, like, a new thing, a new announcement. It's like, oh, now it's, you know, now it's Skylark and not Drew House and all these things. It's like, wait, where is this coming from? And, like, what... Where... Who's...

funding this all because they know the money thing has kind of been a big thing they also squashed it like he was in all this massive debt because of him ending the tour like whatever not doing the tour you know that he lost a lot of money from from but didn't he sell his um catalog for like 400 million dollars yeah yeah so that's how's he in debt lucky

A guy like him, I bet you could spend 400 mil pretty quick. Yeah, and someone who's selling their catalog, I feel like is someone who's spending a lot of money. Yeah. Because you're like, I need more money. Right. I feel like most people in this day and age want to own their music. Right. He's young.

Well, you know, Haley's bringing in the money from Rode. Yeah. She's probably the breadwinner now. I saw rumors that it was like, is Haley going to sell Rode to some big cosmetic company just to help? You know, that's weird. Obviously, there's no facts behind that at all. But I think it's just because they're talking about potential money issues. It's like, oh, it's... Just go perform at another wedding. Yeah.

Right. Yeah, you make a quick, some quick money. Yeah, yeah. You can come to yours. I don't know. I don't know what's going on. Hey, Justin, you got one week. Yeah. I don't have a lump sum to pay you. Well, it won't be $10 million. Not at all. Yeah. Just a good time. Yeah. But you'll love the food. Yeah, the food will be great. The people will be great. You know, good vibes. Exactly. Last topic, the Times 100.

most influential people came out. Congrats to Nikki Glaser, first and foremost. Because she deserves it. Quite a year she's had. Huge congratulations to her. In a judgy way, do you sometimes feel like you look at these lists and anybody you see that you're really happy for makes the list? You're like, wow,

Congratulations. That's so exciting. You made this list. And then anybody that you see that like, you don't like this on the list is like, this list means nothing. Yes. Yes. I'm like, what even is this list? Right. That's why people pay to be on this list. You try to separate it. You're like, congratulations to Nikki Glaser. She deserves this. Yeah. You know, having quite the year. But then we're like, how did Blake Liley's publicist get her into the Titans category on this list? That is the confusing part of it because...

Not to do the Blake Lively pile on. Yeah. But I'm just not gathering how she made it on the Titans list. I'm going to. But I want to separate them because I am happy for Nikki Glaser. So you're right. It's like, you know, how do you decide who you're happy for and who you're like? Right. This is a fake fucking list that they pay for. I do think that some people pay to be on. Yeah, for sure. For sure. And I do think some people get asked.

I think it's very political. And I think that is, like, for a majority of these things, like when they do the Forbes, da-da-da, whatever, I think it is split between people who they are, like, asking to be in it and they're, like, honoring those people. Split versus people who are like, I will pay to be in it and they make it happen. A lot of it seems like a popularity contest. Yeah. It's not about... I gotta pull up this list again. Well, I think a lot of it is... Because I gotta be honest, I only saw Nikki Glaser and Blake Lively, you know? Yeah.

I think a lot of it is very political. It's a lot of political. He trumps on here. No, I'm saying, but like they're not asking him. He's on it. No, no. A lot of it is very political. There's people and I'm sure people's publicists get involved or it's like, hey,

And also these lists come out. These journalists know they want people to talk about them. What's going to make people talk about this list? Putting Blake Lively on the list. You know what I'm saying? But you see Ed Sheeran and you're like, oh my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For art, there's five different categories that they put on. Actually six. It's artists, icons, leaders, titans, pioneers, and innovators.

So in the artist category, you have Ed Sheeran, Scarlett Johansson, Daniel Dae Kim, Kristen Bell, Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Diego Luna, Nicole Scherzinger, Kristen Wiig, Willie Chavarria, Danielle Deadweiler, Hosier, Miranda July, Brandon Jacobs Jenkins, Mohamed Rastaloff, Annabelle Seldorf, Yoshitoma Nara.

So you have like it's, you know, it's fashion, it's music, it's editorial, it's news. Kiki Palmer not in this. So cut when I said that she nominated somebody else because I think she was in it last year. Sorry. So in the artist category, I mean, it's all over the place for actors, musicians, you know, fashion, news, all that, all that jazz. And then when you go over, you're like, OK, awesome.

And then when you go into... Icons, Jalen Hurts. The icons, yes. When I saw that, I was like, wow, this list is fantastic. You know, it's like they really got it right. Jalen Hurts, icon. But it is the comparison of like, there's some people on this list that are like, no. And it is cool that they do get like other very obviously influential people to do the write up. So it's like Jalen Hurts is written by Derek Jeter. Like that's sick. But in the icons one, then you have some other art, like Demi Moore is in the icons. Adrian Brody's in icons.

Bobby Brown, Davey Muir is in there, which is an interesting one too. And then, but it's like, I find it to be political when it comes to the artist celebrity aspect of it. And then when you get to, you know, the world leaders of it all, it's like, you know, they're just listening. They're just listening. They're listening to influential world leaders, like, you know, whatever, uh, uh,

Elon Musk and Trump and all them are on here. Titans, you have Serena Williams, Lorne Michaels, Simone Biles, Joe Rogan, Zuckerberg, and...

Blake Lively. And Blake Lively just slipped right into the Titans category. And it's a very... It's weird that she's not in the artist... No. If she's going to be a part of this list, that she's not in the artist. What does Titan mean? Titans? She's a Titan of her industry. Yeah, Titan of the industry. Titan of the industry. That's my first thought. I think like making strides in your industry. Yeah. And I will say it is a very positive write-up, which, you know, of course it is. This is what it is. You know, it's not... It...

The write-up calls to more of her philanthropic choices and how closely she's worked with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. And there's nothing really, you know, in the acting world or anything like that that's a part of this. It's really just completely more for the...

philanthropic work that she's done and how she has been committed to to learning expanding that so obviously showing her in the most positive lights that they could which makes sense for you know how this has how the news has gone for her in uh in the last year or so

So, yeah. Yeah, but it's like you were saying. But everybody's in different stuff too. Part of it, made up list, who gives a shit. And then Jalen Hurts and Nikki Glaser. Yeah. Yay. But it's cool to really kind of go through and see what the other people that are on here. The categories are all very synonymous to me in some things. Like innovators, pioneers, titans, whatever.

What differentiates you to be in which? Can you put a definition under each title? Right, like you could be an innovator-

Who's also a pioneer, who's also tight. Yeah. But Nikki Glaser is in the innovators category as well as Snoop Dogg written by Hoda, which I thought I loved, which was great too. I loved that. I saw that. I was like, hell yeah. And then Nikki Glaser written by Ali Wong. Yeah. John M. Chu is in the innovator as well. Lorne Michaels written by Will Ferrell. Yeah. Nick Offerman writing about Adam Scott's were kind of funny. Yeah. Yeah.

He goes, if you like slightly awkward but inexplicably confident juvenile otters, you're going to go simply apeshit for Adam Scott. I don't know what that means, but... Yeah, sounds like something Nick Offerman would say. But yeah, it's just, it's one of those lists where 100%, like, you see somebody that you're, you know, close with or friends, you know, it's like, I'm like... You agree with it, and then the other parts of the list, you're like, no. Oh, okay. But, I mean, all things...

being put on this list is however you made it on the list it is really cool to be on the list really fucking cool to be on the list oh 100 top

influential people in the world. You put that on your resume. Yeah. Oh, first line. First line. First line. I don't know if you heard, but I'm time 100. Exactly. Most influential. And we were thrown a People's Choice Award nominee on our resume. So, you know. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

And it's nice that it's like, it's not a, they just throw the hundred names out there and it's not ranked or anything. So it's like, you're just, you don't know where you fall, but you're in it. Right. That's, that's good too. Yeah. Where it's like no ranking system. Exactly. Exactly. Right. So, um, that's the list. That's the list. And that wraps up the topics.

All right, everyone. We are here with a very special guest. We are joined by Jesse Solomon. We've wanted him in this studio for a long time. And now we have him here all to talk about what's going on TV and your life. So welcome, Jesse. Thanks for having me. We're excited. I've been saying it to you since like last summer. So I'm excited that it happened because we did. I did introduce myself to you at Comic.

A drunken encounter at Common Ground. I was like, oh, I know you. And I talk about the night so much because I enjoyed watching West struggle to be allowed up behind the DJ for like 30 minutes. And I just sat at my table and watched and had a great giggle to myself because he was so mad. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to talk smack about West and his status at Common Ground, but they didn't seem to like him there.

I mean, they have to. I mean, watching that happen to somebody else is hilarious. You don't want it to happen to you, but watching it happen to somebody else, you're like, ooh, that's funny. The security guard's just doing their job. Same thing at Coachella. I felt so bad for the security where people who...

act like they deserve to be somewhere. It's just their job to say no. You just got back from Coachella. How was that? Yeah, it was a lot of fun. It was hot. I was there with a brand, so I kind of had to do a lot of work. But the nights were really fun. Did you have any favorite performances? Mao P. I'm not a big pop music guy, so my friends and I just went to the

stages and tents. Was that your first time at Coachella? I'd been once like eight or nine years ago. Is it everything you've ever thought it was? Like what's the vibe there now? Because I feel like there's so many different answers from people. Like some people are like, no, it's the best. Everyone's together dancing. And other people are like, no, it's just a bunch of influencers. They only care about their outfits. What is it to you?

Uh, it's both. Um, it's just like a good networking thing because I'm like an East Coast guy. And so to be out in L.A. and like, I feel like people don't go out in L.A. unless you're out like every night going to whatever bars and clubs. Like everybody comes out for Coachella. So you can kind of just like see everyone in one fell swoop. Right, right, right. Cross that all off the list. Yeah.

That's good. How were you feeling otherwise? This was a big episode this week for you. Yeah, I didn't watch last night. You know what happened? Yeah. Sometimes you just got to take a little step back. You don't have to watch it live. Well, what about the good stuff? I mean, you guys did some good charity work. Yeah, it was so heartwarming to go to the Hope Lodge with the cast and...

The cast, like, they're just good people. Like, you become a family when you have a share house with people, especially when you're, like, filming and you're in this little microcosm. And it just, like, it was great. And I appreciate nobody had to come to that. You know, it was just supposed to be, like, a couple people. And then most of the cast ended up coming.

And like Sierra and Paige, and I think even Carl like donated to my cancer fundraiser and like they're just good people. So it was great. - I think the audience loves seeing wholesome moments like that because apart from that, then we see everybody fighting. So it's nice to see the difference.

I also feel like you and Wes joining only last summer, you guys quickly became a family. Like I feel like I've been watching you guys on TV for years now, but it's only been the second season. Like I feel like you two fit in so seamlessly. Do you feel the same way?

Yes. Yeah, you're like, duh, I belong there. Yeah, I think it's just because we're like normal and they're normal. So like the normal people get along. But coming into it, I was like, I had no idea what to expect. And pretty quickly, I think it was like the third weekend of my first summer, like West, Sierra, Paige and I drove home together. And we were just like, I started talking shit. And then we all kind of like looked at each other.

Paige and Sierra were like, okay, they're on the inside. That's kind of the best feeling when you feel safe to start talking shit with somebody. It almost makes people closer. Yeah. It certainly does. It's a safe space for sure. And now you're seeing a little bit of a difference from last season to this season. You know, last season it was just like, oh, what would Jesse Solomon do?

And now you're in the mix of having an on-screen relationship unfold. I almost forgot. Everybody has reminded you, I bet, while watching this season unfold. Is it such a major difference now watching it last season versus this season? And how are your emotions? Yeah, emotions are good, thanks. I would say last season...

when you don't really have that strong foundation with everybody in the house, it's harder to be completely yourself. Like you can't show everyone how weird you are if you're like not close with them. So it wasn't till like the end of the summer where I was like really comfortable and you know, I just didn't, I wasn't on the show that much until I sang that song and everybody loved it. Yeah, this summer, I mean like dating gets a lot of attention, especially if it's like two people in the house.

And so it felt how it feels watching the show back. Like the first few weekends, everybody was like asking Alexi and I, what's going on? It's just like pretty intense, but yeah.

Yeah, it's good. Yeah. It does just become, obviously, a microscope when it's two people in the house because I think that so much of the house, you know, like, Manon and Kyle are married. Lizzie's having a baby. It's like they have their own personal lives that they're like, oh, my God, there's drama again in the house. Like, people are together in the house again. It's been seasons since this has happened. So it's gotten everybody's attention for sure. I know you said you didn't watch...

this week which is you know fair i know a lot of people don't watch themselves do you normally watch yes yeah yeah yeah yeah i watched this week i just watched it before i didn't watch it last night and like some of it's like you cringe at yourself so hard that i just like i'm kind of watching you're like watching with one eye open yeah do you think you're a little bit of a love bomber

That's what people have been saying. Are they saying that? They are saying that. No. Listen, I came on strong, but I think Lexi matched my energy. And when you're going for a girl who's like dated Drake, you're not going to like...

get her by playing it cool. Right, right, right. Like my style is aggressive and like I'm not going to be anybody but myself. So watching it back, like, yeah, I guess I was love bombing, but, and I'm like learning about love bombing now. So yeah, I'm trying to like

Be better the next time around. And it was interesting because on last night's episode, we saw you for the first time kind of get a little bit jealous because you had thought that Lexi was flirting with West. Incorrect. Yeah. And then... That's not what happened. That's not what happened? Absolutely not. I was excited that Lexi was flirting with West because...

Okay. Anything that I had been doing with Sierra the weekend prior, I was like, oh, it was apples to apples. Like you're flirting with West. I'm flirting with Sierra. It's all fluid. We're one big happy family. Where we can all flirt with each other. And she took it as like me being jealous and she's making me out to be this like jealous type where that's just not how I felt. Okay. So watching...

It did sort of feel like in your confessional, you were like, I'm excited. And then in Lexi, she was like, I don't know why Jesse's mad. But then I wasn't sure if we were seeing you mad or not. Like it was outside of the car. It seemed like maybe when you had mentioned it, it seemed like maybe you were like a little bit jealous, but then it kind of turned into Lexi was talking about it, but we didn't necessarily, it was confusing. Like when you went to bed,

I was confused if you guys were fighting or not fighting. Yeah, it was just like such neggy energy. I was like, it's all good. Like I was just saying, I'd like brought something up in the car ride home and she like immediately was upset with me. So you took it as like a good thing. Like, oh my God, we can all have this banter with each other. Yes. Got it. Got it. Did you see Ciara's reaction to...

how you told her like hey no touchy did you see she was like fuck you yeah i loved sierra's reaction to that because it was like now you're not even allowed to joke around with me ever now since i can't touch your arm like yeah actually we can't even speak oh she fucking crushes me so bad

It's amazing. And you guys are obviously still very close. Yeah. And you kind of need, you need female friends like that though, I think. Yeah, I agree. Were you confused about all the conversation around you and Ciara in the summer?

Watching it back, like, I understand. Like, I didn't really remember grinding with her in my underwear. I was stunned. I'm not going to lie. Watching, I was like, wow. But listen, like, if I was trying to hook up with Sierra, I would have been trying to hook up with Sierra. I was just, like, friendly flirting. It wasn't, like, there wasn't intent. So, yeah, but seeing it back, like, yeah, it was hammered. It was a fun party. Yeah.

There has been a couple. Obviously, Lexi was a new addition, but there's been some attention on Emeril coming into the house and just hugging up with girls seemingly every night of every weekend. Savage. Were you guys, as the newer guys in the house, shocked by what he was doing? Yeah, there's that one scene where Wes and I are like, she's here? We say it at the same time. There's girls here with Emeril? Yeah.

Yeah, it was just kind of like I couldn't believe that he wanted to do that on camera, that the girls would want to do that. I'm confused. I feel like they usually show the girls coming back. Yeah.

They've been cutting them out. Is that for any reason in particular? I think the girls don't want to be on the show. Some people sign off on it. Also when they realize that they're one of 18. Then they don't want to be shown. Do you think he's getting an accurate edit? Yeah. He's getting a good edit. I don't know if I would call it that. No. Compared to what it was. From what we see, it's like

He's not involving himself with the rest of the house. He's not forming relationships with people. It's just him bringing girls home. So was that pretty accurate to what was happening over the summer? Yeah, he was friendlier with Carl.

And maybe Kyle a little bit. West, he and West had some conversations, but conversations with him were always very serious. He wasn't like an easygoing guy. But he's a good person, I think, and a nice person. Yeah. It's just a different, because you really only get to see Kyle

One side of him. Yeah, he and I beefed over the summer. Was it because of what happened or a different reason? Toegate, perhaps? Yeah, it was surrounding Toegate. Yeah. Which toe was it? Yeah. It was one or two.

There was maybe a pinky. I don't know why that was like my first thought. I was like, I immediately went to big toe. I think. Yeah. Everybody went to big toe. Everybody assumes big toe. It was, it was, I think the right pinky toe. Yeah. Gotcha. A smaller, cuter toe. Yeah. Were you like in the moment when that's happening, were you like, why am I doing this? Like, this is a bad idea. Yeah. You had to have. Yeah. Okay. Good. Totally. That's good. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, at the time, no, I was like, I think this is like funny. And I was just, you know, like summer house drunk shenanigans. What's crazy is like it felt like a foreshadowing. They show Paige be like when you're massaging Sierra's foot. They're like she's like, put the foot in your mouth, Jesse. And then like that same night you went and got your toe sucked. Was it like then just like in the back of your head? You're like, wow.

You know, now these feet are on my mind. Was that before or after? It was right before. It was the same episode. I don't know. It was like a theme going on. It might have been some magical ending there. Yeah, it was like some theme going on in the episode. Listen, I'm sure you could find a girl that I've dated before and ask her if we do toe sucking. It never happens. I've never done it before nor after. It was just on a whim. Yeah, but I could see how that would be not the right thing to do. I just thought it was like...

funny at the time yeah did did you and west meet just because of the show yeah and you guys it was like an immediate connection yeah yeah you think you'll be best friends for life yeah i just like really can't see us uh fighting yeah he's just like likes to keep the peace he's just such a good person and uh i i just feel like lucky that we've gotten to do this whole thing together

Going into this next summer now, are you guys like, all right, we got to be single, no hooking up with people in the house. Like we just need to, you know, just us two out there. Yeah, we are. That is exactly how we feel. The blood oath has already been made. Now you guys both had your fair share of in-house romances. They each got a season. They each got a season. And now you guys can get out there in the summer. I feel like maybe, have you come to the conclusion like you're not ready for a relationship? No.

Uh, no, I still am open to it with the right person. Like clearly when I fall, I fall hard. So I'm open to it, but I'm not looking to it, looking for it. But yeah, I think I'm going to go in like trying to be single this summer, but like I'm not going to fight it. As the wise Kyle Cook has said, summer is for fun. Yes. Do you feel like you need to find somebody that sort of matches the energy that you have instead of like,

Because a lot of girls aren't going to be okay with a lot of the stuff that you did. But maybe there's somebody out there that would be okay with it. Like, are you sort of leaning towards that? Like, you're like, I need someone who's going to be okay with me being flirty and touchy and whatever. Yeah, I need somebody who's really secure, I think. And I'm still trying to figure out who I should be with. Like, whether they're in the limelight or not. Like, I'm just, this is all new to me.

So we'll find out. You guys should just have fun this summer. You got to be able to keep gassing up your girls on Instagram, which it hasn't stopped. It hasn't stopped. And you won't stop doing it, I'm guessing. Never. They deserve it. I'd love to know what you're thinking at home. When you posted the picture with everybody and you and Paige were like,

slightly holding hands. Like, are you just giggling at home? Like, this is really going to freak people out. Yes, it's hilarious. Yeah, just like kicking your feet. It's just like, people take life so seriously and it's just like, take a joke. Yeah. It's not that serious. Yeah, that is true. Paige actually reached back and grabbed my hand and I was like, boom. Like a tower.

Don't get too excited. Don't get too excited. I saw Paige joke around saying how you have texted her multiple times now being like, I'm so excited for this summer. Yeah, that's not true. I was upset with her. She actually has texted me twice being like, season 10 gonna be lit. Like, but yeah, obviously I'm excited for the summer, but like...

Paige, I've said this before, like she's going to end up with some like older fucking A-list guy on the Yankees. I thought that was a spot on comparison. You were like, she's going to date someone on the Yankees. I was like, honestly, so true. I can see it. And Sierra the other day was like, we were FaceTiming. She's like, what the fuck? Like, what about me? What about my chopped liver? I was like, maybe the Mets. Yeah.

Wow, cold. She did say that recently on the show. She was like, maybe I got to start dating athletes. Yeah, no, I don't think that's the avenue to go for either. Did you guys have any idea that like, I know it's kind of happened or slight things have been said or Carl's been asked about it, that Carl's like been maybe holding a little something in his heart for Sierra. What is going on there?

Yeah. I think they show it in the preview, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Carl's got a crush on Sierra. Is it just like who doesn't have a crush on Sierra? Right. I think. Yeah. I think. Is it reciprocated, you think? No. No. I think she thinks he's cute. Yeah. Hey, at least Carl's being open and honest about it. Yeah. Because I saw and watched What Happens Live. He was like...

He's like, you know, you never know like about Sierra. I'm like, what is this Carl and Sierra thing? I've never seen that coming. - At this point, Carl's down to shoot a shot, you know? - It's funny 'cause we were filming the after show and the producer said to us like, when Carl told Sierra that he really liked her and Wes was like, what? I was just like, that happened?

Right. Were you upset? No, it's funny seeing West this season. I think he's got a great edit this season. Cause it's just like random one liners thrown in there. That's all he was doing. And I'm like, I sometimes I get mad at myself for laughing so hard. I'm like, that was really funny.

She's so funny and witty. Yeah. When they opened the door, when they were banging on the door at 530 in the morning and Lindsay opened up the door and like the faces they made, like some moments have been really laugh out loud funny this season, which is, I think, honestly, you and you and West add a lot to that. Thank you. Yeah, sure. That's like the point of a share house is to have fun with your friends and laugh and like.

Listen, I say a lot of things over the summer where I'm just like trying to keep it light and chill. And like it really offends people. So I learned from that. And I need to like think about what I say. But it's hard to be funny if you're like having a filter. You just have to continue to be yourself. Because...

Absolutely. Some people are going to get... A lot of people get mad at the relationship stuff, which is just bound to happen. But if you guys are just having fun being yourself, people are going to love that. Yeah. I've seen some upset people at me on TikTok. And thanks. It's good for the algorithm, I heard. Yeah. I mean, I think when it comes to this season and everything that unfolded with Lexi, I think people just feel...

it's a little bit unfair for a new girl to come in and everyone's friends with you already and it kind of feels like she's getting slighted a little bit, which I feel like is all very fair. - They were so welcoming to her. Amanda said shower in my bathroom and she showered in mine. She had the opportunity to become close with those girls.

And she tried to blame me for like driving a wedge between her and the girls. And I was like, I didn't tie you up and keep you in my, like you have free will. Yeah. So it's like an easy excuse in my opinion. Yeah. Are you nervous, excited for the reunion? I'm excited for it to be done. Yeah. I mean, I just like need to think about what I want to say.

It's just like a 12-hour shoot where you talk. You don't want to end up like West in the last one where he just kind of didn't really speak and then spoke after. It's like you just got to say everything on your mind then. Yeah. Yeah, I will. I'll be prepared. Yeah, definitely. I'm not worried about it. And then you can wrap up this season and move on to the summer.

Yeah, it's pretty wild. They're casting away. It's crazy that it's like we're already, I mean, it moves at such a funny pace because we're watching last summer now and, you know, it's almost May. So it's like summer's all, the next summer is basically already here. It's kind of fun that you can like, as soon as that's over, you're like, all right, on to the next summer. Like we can just like move past it a little bit. Yeah, filming is intense. Yeah.

just because like you're constantly talking about your emotions and like it just gets kind of tiring. I love it but the five months when you're not physically

filming and not airing that was like a really special time in my life is there no like anxiety of like what's to come like you kind of yeah you just bury it and then like within the last month leading up you're like oh okay listen this is this is what you agree to on being on reality television and i think like a lot of people get super caught up in public opinion and it's like

We're literally selling a small piece of our soul just so people can either like us or hate us. That's true. So how can you get upset when people talk shit about you online? Right, you are definitely signing up for it. You know that's going to happen now. We didn't do anything special. We're just agreeing to have cameras on our personal lives. It's not like we're athletes or actors. And I also like to think about the fact that the people who are judging everybody all the time watching the shows and we're...

them too because we watch but then you're like well what if there were cameras on your life all the time like what would people think about what you're saying so it's kind of like no matter who's on camera people are gonna have something to say about it totally nobody's perfect no and you said casting are you excited about new casting nervous like who do you want to see come in

Hmm. Who do I want to see come in? Just fun loving people who want to go out, I would say, would be fun. It's hard to find people that are like willing to be themselves on camera and are deeper than just like, like to have fun and go to the Hamptons. So, but yeah, I think this show might...

Lindsay's daughter is probably new cast member number one. I forgot like Lindsay, she can't be coming with a bait maybe for like a weekend. Well you know Wes kind of said something on a podcast and it activated Lindsay a little bit. She was mad. Yeah I love when she gets activated just not at

me yeah exactly um yeah i mean i hope that there's more seasons but who knows yeah i think it's this summer and then we figure it out from there right exactly as people's lives go on because everyone is in different phases of life you're also been working on a lot of music yes solomon i know the singer extraordinaire it's exciting is this kind of an unexpected

part of this for you or did you think like ooh reality TV could lead me to this point I didn't go into reality TV like planning to launch a music career I think I more so was like I'll launch a consumer product yeah I grew up singing I've sang my whole life I studied vocal jazz performance at like one of the best music schools at University of Miami and then I decided to work in the music business out of college and

I started a venture-backed startup with my boss from William Morris. So like I ended up getting super far away from music. And then when a more creative path kind of like revealed itself, I was like, why not? You only live once. If money didn't matter, I would like to spend time in a music studio with cool people making shit that sounds good. So I was like, let's fucking do it.

That's what you've been doing. That's what I've been doing. I have a really exciting release on May 1st with like my dream publication, which is like really exciting. They're doing a story with me. That's awesome. So it's just like the whole thing is so fun and there's no pressure. I like the why not attitude. If it doesn't work, who gives a fuck? I have fun making the music and like I have this like thing that didn't exist before I was alive. Yeah. Right. It's going to be a whole album?

- Just with the way modern music and social media works, I just think every release is an opportunity for new people to hear my music. So why give them multiple songs at once when I can spend a month posting about each song I do? So I'm just gonna keep putting out singles until, yeah, then I'll do an EP and then single, single, single, then an album.

Who knows? Yeah. You never know what could happen, especially with TikTok. Yeah. Like songs just blow up out of nowhere. Totally. Have you been surprised with like who you've been able to work with and like being in the studio? You're like, wow, I'm in the studio with some like legit people. Nope. No, I'm teasing. The guys that I make music with are incredibly talented, but they're not like...

Yeah, but still, it's not like you're not in the studio with a buddy from high school being like, oh, let's try this. Yeah, that's true. You are experienced in making music. Yeah, totally. I think more so just recently I've met some pretty famous people and they said what up to me and I was like, what?

Yeah, it's crazy. Is this real life? I mean, so many celebrities watch Bravo. It's crazy. They really do. I had no idea. They really do. I totally see a...

like dance song feature so I you know like a like a Zedd featuring Jesse Salm yeah I I have an electronic track that I'm gonna release at the beginning of the summer amazing and I'm looking for song of the summer yeah co-produce it with me yeah so any DJs out there was Kyle gonna get offended that you're not asking him I mean Kyle probably yeah

It's good. It'll be good banter for the season. Kyle and I are talking about doing another song. Okay, good. Is he going by, he's just going by his name, right? When he's like DJing, he's just Kyle Cook, right? That's all he's got. Yeah, he's just got it.

Well, some people change their name. Yeah, that's true. Imagine it would actually be hysterical if he decided to like have a DJ name. Yeah. Right. Well, that's people are like, do you go by Jesse Solomon? That's literally all I've got. Without that, it's nothing. You can't do a rebrand this late. Yeah. You're like, I have my brand is Jesse Solomon. Why would I start

music as like some random thing. You change it, then nobody's thinking the what would Jesse Solomon do, then you know, it's all over the map. That's my first hit. Yeah, you gotta stick with that. Exactly. So, I mean, music, Summer House, you've also really gotten to share your own personal journey on the show. How has that been for you to kind of like spread the awareness, cancer awareness?

Going into Summer House, I was like, listen, if I get canceled and fired from my job and everything goes to shit, at least sharing my cancer story will have helped people. And it's been overwhelmingly positive. The amount of messages I get, I'm deep in the cancer community now. Everybody knows somebody who's had cancer. So I was expecting it to be like,

you know, go get checked and it would help people who didn't know that they've had something going on, but more so like the emotional thing and like being able to be open about having cancer and having like somebody that they connect to, seeing them go through that. Like there's not a lot of places where you can find that. So I think like my ability to just be open about that, it was like way more powerful than I expected. And yeah.

It's just like, feels good. Yeah, absolutely. Bringing that conversation to sort of like a lighthearted or dramatic show like Summer House, I feel like is important. And you probably did reach a lot of people who, you know, spread that awareness. I think it's,

funny to look back on that initial uh conversation when you told the house do you and wes laugh about that when wes brought up he was like he was like i just talked about the 50 states and he has cancer like that was i think honestly this the start of like where everyone was like okay we're in we're interested in these two yeah yeah i mean wes that was hilarious i was just like listening to him tell about his 50 states and i was like

I think it's time. Cause you're like, I'm gearing up. They're kept being things where they were like, ask Jesse, like the girls were asking me like, what's the worst thing that's ever happened to you? And I was like, I literally just got here. Yeah. Give me a moment. Yeah. I'm not trying to like unpack everything on these, on these literal strangers at this point, but it's gotta be, like you said, it's great to, to share it. Have you had any,

you know, these personal moments with fans and whatnot who have wanted to talk to you about their stories. Yeah. I get emotional thinking about it because, like, one of the crazier ones, I mean, literally yesterday a guy walked up to me and was like, you encouraged me to go get checked and I found something early. I was like, that's amazing. Like, that happens more often than you'd think. A more sad one, like a woman's son passed away and, like, she came up to me and gave me one of his shirts and I was just like...

I'm so sorry I was like I cannot so there's it's it doesn't work out perfectly for everyone I'm like I'm lucky and blessed that I had a good outcome but uh yeah it happens a lot I get a lot of messages I try to respond to them but being vulnerable like that on tv is important and I feel like you learned that sort of the first season when you talked about that totally I was like I cannot believe I just cried on national television because like you know you're like a

guy that's like not cool to cry and I just didn't think there was ever a reason to cry but then you almost have cancer and it's it was scary yeah it's a reason yeah certainly certainly a reason and I feel like it's been a good like Rhea you were saying a good balance of real life seriousness that and then you get to have the fun in the share house like everybody else gets to have so yeah you have to and it it

humanizes everybody. Because like we said, people watch reality TV and they tear people apart and then it's like, okay, wait a second. This is, you know, well, a human being, there's a lot going on in life. And it's all the elements of life because you can be out having the time of your life at a club or a bar, but maybe something's going on with your family, something serious like that. So like, it does combine all of the elements. So it really was great that you shared that and that you're more comfortable even talking about it now. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Everybody's got shit. Yeah. So,

Where did you grow up? I know that was a complete turn. North suburbs of Chicago. Okay, okay. I went to Nutria if you know people. Oh, wait, I did know that. Duh, why didn't I just act like I didn't know that? Yeah, because which one of you is friends with Lauren St. Clair? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. Oh, my God. Lauren's the best. Lauren's going to be hyped. Yeah.

Yeah, I do. I know she's a lot of her obviously best friends still are. Yeah, because one of her best friends texted me yesterday and was like, you skipped the podcast. I was like, I was sick. I told them because I forget somebody sent

One of my friends sent something from something that you had posted from Coachella. And I was like, funny, he's actually supposed to be here on Tuesday. He's out coming through today. Did you want me to give you a cold? He's hungover. I don't want whatever desert flu everybody gets from that. You're welcome. Yeah, yeah. Nothing sounds worse than people who go to Coachella and they come home and they're like, yeah, so I've been sneezing black for like two days. I'm like, ugh. Yeah, well, I took the red eye back because Wes and I had to film that Chili's ad.

- Oh my gosh. - So I was supposed to party a third day. I couldn't have done it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Two days is enough. - I saw a lot of people backing out on the third day and that would be me. I couldn't do three days. - It really does get too, it's really so hot. - Yeah. - It's like shockingly hot. - How are you guys?

lovely we're great I'm getting married next week a week from today that's so beautiful yeah thank you I'm excited for you where's the wedding in Brooklyn nice yeah I just moved out of Brooklyn I couldn't do it anymore where'd you move to now that I know Fidei like right next to Tribeca you had to make a move to the city

Yeah. It was just like going back and forth two, three times a day. It was too much. Yeah. Definitely. It's a cool spot to get married, but. Yeah. There's more space there. I'm from New Jersey. She's from Long Island. So like it's, you know, that's the, you get that good. Mm-hmm.

Local but not local because it's still New York City. Right. Get the city feel. Yeah. You know, now I'm just going to start talking about my wedding. It's really all we can talk about as we should. We're going to wrap up though. We have our Armani Beauty last question. We have a little gift for you as well. Thanks Armani. As far as joining the show, right? What is some kind of misconception or the biggest shock you had recently?

the first summer that you like didn't expect when you went into it with filming? I thought we could stay at the house during the week. I was really hoping. You're like, oh, I'm ready to move.

move fully out there. I don't want to go back and forth. Yeah, yeah. They have the house. You just can't stay there. You guys are paying all this money. At least let me get good use out of it. Yeah, that's a good point. That is very funny. I've never even thought about that. I didn't either. But that's a good point. I'd want to stay. I'd ask that question too. Can I just come a day early? What about like 4th of July week? Let me just stay the whole week. And what do you guys, you guys go Thursday night or Friday?

We go Friday morning. Yeah. So it was hard. I had like a big boy finance job and I was like playing hooky on Friday afternoons. They were like, it's just weekends. And then like I'm filming Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. No more finance job? No, they didn't like me getting drunk and hooking up with girls on national TV. Sounds about right. Yeah. Shocker. Hey. I was like working at an investment bank in private equity raising like multi-billion dollar funds. It was not like...

- A chill finance job. - No, not at all. - Yeah. They're like, "Jessie, this is not, you can't continue doing this." - Right, yeah. - But more things to come. Music, TV. - Exactly, opened up so many other opportunities. - There's so many opportunities. - I was happy before, but I'm fulfilled now. I feel like I'm in the right.

That's an awesome place to stop. Thank you, Jesse. Guys, check out my merch collab with the American Cancer Society. We've got some cool clothes and hats and all the money goes to cancer research. And look out for your next, what did you say, May 1st you get a song dropping? May 1st. Amazing. We're past March. That's why I was like, did I say March? Great.

A lot of protein bars generally taste the same, but not one protein bars. One made protein bars perfect with one Reese's peanut butter lovers and one Hershey's cookies and cream, 18 grams of protein, only three grams of sugar. I've been trying to up my protein. I'm trying to, you know, when I work out, make sure I'm grabbing a little protein bar for after quick

little bite. I'm grabbing the one protein bars. They taste delicious. The one Reese's peanut butter lovers protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter and only one Hershey's CNC protein bar is made with Hershey's cookies bits. One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. So for me, I love that it's hitting my sweet tooth, but also giving me that protein that I need all in the same bite. It's absolutely perfect. So

Try new one Reese's peanut butter lovers protein bar and one Hershey's cookies and cream now.
