This is state of emergency.
What's up, everyone?
It's Chicks in the Office with Rianne Frand, giving you that Friday energy on a Monday.
Hopefully everyone had an amazing weekend, starting off the week.
Great.
How are we all doing today?
I'm excited for this week.
so I'm going in with a positive mindset to this week
tough Sunday night for your girl
I just came home from a bachelor party
tired but like nothing crazy
we weren't like going nuts
but had a lovely wonderful time
and there's just like
there's this specific pizza
that I get from
it's not a like a reputable
pizza place but it's this buffalo
chicken pizza and it's just
when you're eating it
It's just so good.
And sometimes it makes my stomach hurt and sometimes it doesn't.
So it's kind of like a rush roulette situation.
I risked it.
And I ordered it and I ate it.
My tummy hurt all night.
The stomach was sick.
Yeah, I couldn't sleep.
My apartment was so hot because I was gone all weekend.
So I had the AC blasting and I got a bloody nose when I woke up.
It's just tough.
Tough.
Oh my gosh.
Tough go.
But I am okay.
You want to also know why?
because I feel like we're kind of in school
where you have your last week of school
before you go on vacation.
And I'm like, this is our last week of work
before we go on vacation,
which we haven't really like fully announced,
but we are off all next week.
There won't be any episodes.
We love you.
We're sorry, but we're taking a little break.
I'm going on a trip with Joe's family.
You're headed to London town.
Oh my God, I'm so sad to have everything booked.
Yes.
Sarah's going on a trip
Sarah's going on a trip
I'll be nowhere
Noah's walking around Central Park
in circles
Yeah go find him
I am so freaking excited
And then on top of that though
When we come back
We have something super exciting
That we have not talked about at all
Hopefully it's done
I won't say anything else
We also come back and like immediate
That we leave for shows
Yeah, and then we leave for shows, which by the way, Tampa, you guys better show up because we heard everyone wants Tampa and then.
Come on.
Come on.
Don't be shy Florida.
Buy those tickets.
Even if you're a little far from Tampa, make a road trip.
Make a road trip.
We'll be there.
Literally, we'll stick around and hang out if you guys come to the show.
Please, for the love of God, buy those Tampa tickets.
Every other show, right?
Oh, we sold out.
We sold out.
Tampa?
Not quite.
Florida, maybe not our March.
Florida is maybe not our market.
Florida, I never liked Florida.
I love Florida. I'm headed to Florida.
I just thought
you know what people, when we posted
about people like, yes, Tampa and it's like
where are those people? I know. And if you
live far from Tampa but you're in Florida,
make the trip for us. We'll make it worthwhile.
We'll do something crazy. Who knows
what will happen? So buy
those tickets. Link is in the bio.
I have a crazy story.
Okay. What is it?
I didn't tell. I saved it for this.
moment. All right. So I was out
about Jurette and Savannah. So nice. Really didn't realize
like a lot of people were in my DMs like wow, Charleston and Savannah
you're really hitting all the hot spots. Great. Hand up Charleston
liked way better as a as a as I didn't spend I actually honestly didn't spend
enough time in Savannah. I was out on Tybee Island um which is where they filmed the last
song which was just beautiful beautiful really felt like I was reliving um that young
love moment. We actually watched last song.
as well as a group on the bench report.
That's smart. So, so fun.
So we're leaving Sunday.
Everybody had like different flight times.
We're all kind of like getting to the airport different times.
Getting Uber's was like a pain in the ass.
So we all kind of split up.
The bride's sister comes in the airport and we, I see her and she's like, oh my God, like,
took me so long to get through security.
A guy forgot he had his gun and went through security.
And we were cracking up because we were like,
you know you always see those signs that are like huge fine.
Don't bring your firearm.
And you always laugh because you're like,
what idiot forgets that their gun is in their bag?
You know?
And boy, it happened.
And then the man sat right in front.
I didn't know who it was.
My friend says, sir, was just like, there was this guy.
And so I get on my flight by myself.
No one else is on my flight.
this man in front of me
who truly looked like
he was straight out of the game of clue
like he was this tall
white guy, big mustache
like just could have been
like detective
murder mystery yeah like total
and his friend was sitting next to me
so he turns around in his seat
because he didn't think he was going to be able to get on the plane
but he did get on the plane he turns around
he's like oh my god and she's like
wow what happened like what did they do
he's like oh well you know
I think I'm going to lose my
my pre-check status I gotta pay a
$10,000 fine
Oh my gosh
Where did he put the gun?
I think they took the
I heard him say that they asked if he like drove
To the airport if he could just like go put his gun
Like in his car
He's so casual
But we were just like
$10,000
Honestly I almost like spit
Taked my water because he was like
I brought my wrong I brought the wrong briefcase
I hate when the wrong
that happens. Oh, I thought you were saying
he had it like on. No, no. He brought the wrong briefcase.
Oh, man. And then he goes, I hate when I bring
the wrong briefcase. Then he goes, I brought my work briefcase. And I was like,
his work briefcase, what is this guy doing for work? But then
he said, all week long, after work, he was trying to get to the range
and he didn't have time. He just, but he just had his gun and his
briefcase. What kind of gun are we talking about? Because if it's in a brief,
like, you know, I'm guessing a handgun. I don't know necessarily, but it was in his
He was trying to go to the range.
It was in his briefcase.
Because I'm saying the range, like, they have those huge-ass briefcases.
Yeah, but they also have the-
You also, like, can bring your own.
Yeah. So, my gosh.
So literally this got, I was, I was just laughing because I was also like so tired.
Well, no, because I would, well, one, it was just like, ha-ha classic.
Like the one time I'm in, like, Georgia that this man forgets to take his gun out of his briefcase before.
And it's just, like I said, it was just one of those times where you see the signs in the
airport and you literally laugh. You're like, who's going to forget that they have their gun?
And this man truly forgot that he had his gun in his briefcase and went through airport security.
That's an exciting day for TSA though.
You know?
Like every, everything's just sitting there all day.
Well, the woman's probably going through the scan and she's like, a fucking gun in there.
It's exciting.
It's like, oh, you can't bring your shampoo bottle in like.
Yeah.
You know, it's like, oh, ma'am, I'm sorry.
This is more than three ounces.
This is 4.5 ounces.
you gotta throw it out and you're like what the
but no so this man's literally
straight out of clue like
exciting guy at the airport
forgot it was crazy
I we were just
I feel like some places
but the way he like reacted
was like he was just
turn around he fully
I'm trying to describe like he turned around
in his seat and was on the back
of it like holding the bag
talking to his friend and he's laughing
like he was like ah man you know
because she was like
What's, what's going to happen?
He's like, ah, $10,000 fine.
I'm like, you're really laughing about this $10,000 fine.
I would rather him be more calm like that than like angry, like,
let me bring my gun.
No, I, you know.
The way he reacted made it seem more like a funny thing, not an alarming thing.
Because that could be alarming.
Right.
If he reacted poorly.
You're like, holy shit, they don't let me burn my gun on the plane.
It'd be like, what?
Uh-oh.
Like, what?
What are we trying to do with that?
Wait, what?
Yeah.
but he definitely really was just like I left it in my briefcase.
If I was a gun person, I would forget that, like, if I, like, had a gun on me, I would just, it would be, like, a watch where I just forget that I'm wearing it.
I just, maybe, but, like, maybe not when you go to the airport.
No, yeah.
Like, I, like, maybe sometimes you forget that there's water in your water bottle.
Like, you don't forget that your gun is on your hip.
Yeah, I know you bring the wrong briefcase.
Yeah, you bring the wrong briefcase.
That's an exciting day at the airport.
I'm also just laughing thinking about, like, like, you don't forget.
the TSA people and the guy just being like,
oh, sorry guys, wrong briefcase.
Classic mix up.
Whoopsy, Daisy.
Yes.
But anyway, Savannah, very cool.
But yeah, we only went out Friday night.
So I didn't really get to explore too much.
So rough estimate, I would say, Charleston.
But I spent much more time in Charleston, so it's kind of a biased opinion.
That makes sense.

I had a fun weekend, but mainly Friday night because I was hung over the rest of the
weekend Friday night I threw a little shindig for Marty his birthday is tomorrow you couldn't make
it obviously noah was there um it's just a funny little thing out of the night was I had everyone
come to our apartment beforehand yeah hosted a nice little pregame made a cheese board how little snacks
whole thing very adult but then we went to the club and we were just you know well that's called
balance um I was showing noah around the apartment and I was like oh you want tour I show no
around the apartment.
And then a little later on the night, me and Marty are talking off to the side in our
apartment.
And he goes, he was like, this is nice.
Like, yeah, like, I gave Noah a tour.
And I was like, you gave Noah a tour?
I gave Noah a tour.
Noah took two tours and didn't tell Marty that he had already gotten a tour from me because he
felt awkward.
Did you just feel like Marty was really excited to show you the apartment?
Well, yeah.
Like, Ria was giving me a tour with Devin.
Like, Devin was just kind of like walking along.
and then Marty
It wasn't a private one
Yeah
Yeah
And then Marty and I were outside
And I like just asked
It's a group session first
Yeah I asked him like
Oh what's that like
That's where you stream
And he's like oh yeah let me give you the tour
And I was just like
Yeah yeah okay
Like maybe he'll show me something new
I don't know
And then he didn't but I was just like gonna go along with it
Like apparently he just went along with it
Like said the same thing
Maybe he'll show you something new
He's like I need a better
He thought there was like a secret room or something
I was like, so you took, you took two
towards.
Marty's gonna show more the good stuff is.
You know we talk, right?
Like, I was like, I didn't think like,
that would come up.
It was very fun though.
Everyone had a great time.
I was the most
hungover. I've been in like
over a year probably. Like, I threw up
so much the next
morning, which just hasn't happened to me in a
really long time.
Violently.
I was ill.
And it was,
one of those hangarvers that lasted like till today like today you're so feeling better but it was it was
so much fun you know my family was there his family friends it was a great time love love a good time
very fun yeah i feel like there was something else that i want not quite the big birthday no 29 yeah yeah
yeah yeah but it was still a lot of fun and yeah lots of champagne which see i didn't i stayed away from that
Which probably helped you.
No.
In the moment, God, it tastes good.
But the next day, it's just, yeah.
The next day when you see that bill and you feel like shit and you're like, oh, all that champagne.
The champagne buzz is just like a different kind of buzz.
It's like a high.
It is.
Like really, it's just, you're just, it's a great vibe.
Yeah.
So you have to really try and like compartmentalize like, like I'm going to have so much fun in this moment.
but God, tomorrow, like, don't even think about tomorrow because it's going to suck.
It was so bad, but it was so much fun in the moment.
I was like, champagne makes you like giddy.
Like I was just like, totally does.
I felt like that was high.
Yes.
Yes.
It's a great time.
It really was a great time.
So great weekend overall, but I am so freaking excited for London.
And so I, um, Marty, like, apparently loves Monopoly.
I mean, we've maybe played Monopoly together one time, but apparently in college, he used
to, like, host Monopoly games out of it.
his like, this all goes back to gambling.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. For money, like
out of his dorm. Yeah. I have
never played a game of,
a full game of Monopoly. Never.
How. How? The Mariano's
were not
we were not a game
family. I feel like, we were like,
we were
kid, like, I don't know, Monopoly.
Shoots and Ladders. Monopoly was
like the gateway
game into like more sophisticated
games where like you actually have to like
think? I feel like Monopoly, you have to
think. That's what I'm saying. You do have to think.
Like, when we were younger, I'm
playing shoots and ladders and
like pretty pretty princess. Like I'm not
doing, we were not... You're like,
I want to buy this house, sell this? Yeah, yeah.
So we never, like, never
played Monopoly. I
really do not think. I've
like half ass had to
like pretend like I know
how to play Monopoly when I've
babysat before and like the kids are like, let's play
Monopoly and I'm like, I can't. I don't know if I can't
I can't admit to this eight-year-old.
I don't know how to play Monopoly.
I have to be reminded every single time.
But apparently he, like, this was like a thing.
Like, everybody knows he loves Monopoly.
And so I saw something come up on my TikTok, life-size monopoly in London, okay?
Like, close to where we're saying.
And I was like, oh, my God, I am going to surprise him with tickets to this life-size
monopoly game.
And it'll be hilarious.
So I'm surprising him with that.
like for his birthday tomorrow he won't listen to this.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's just so fucking funny.
Like you are on a team with other people that signed up to play this monopoly.
And there, it's just like, usually I'd be embarrassed to do something like that.
But with him, it's just so, like, I know that we will have a great time doing it.
And then like, if you want to play Harry Potter chess, like in real life.
And then before that, there is a restaurant that's attached to it.
It's called the Top Hat restaurant where it's like,
Monopoly theme. So I like book
that for lunch and then life size Monopoly
after. I am so excited to see his
reaction to this because it's going to be so
funny. I told his sister-in-law
I booked a full special day for you.
It'll only take up like two hours, which I think is perfect.
No, I know. I think that'll actually be so fun.
Eight hours later. I'm not kidding. We're not going
to Paris because I booked this.
Like he was like
I do love a gimmicky activity.
It was just funny. It's just going to be
hilarious, but there is, we're going to be there
from Tuesday to Sunday.
And so we get there late Tuesday night.
So we have all day, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, so it's
four days. And there's just so, like, it would be
kind of a hassle to go to Paris.
There's so much to do in London. You would also feel like, you don't have time to do
everything in Paris. Yes. Like, you just, we would literally just
go to the Eiffel Tower, basically. So I was like, right,
on Friday when we were supposed to go to Paris, like,
I'll book this. You're giving London a full trip instead of like, kind of
half in different places. And I've just told him like, oh, I don't want to have everything planned.
Like I booked all the restaurants and like all that. Like I specialize days for those markets you told me about.
Burwell Market, Candid Market. I'm so good. I'm so jealous. Noah, I have watched over a hundred TikToks of people eating the food at those markets and have written down like all the best ones that I've seen.
It looks incredible. It's honestly just a whole vibe of it. Like every market is on the street. There's one on the street.
There's one on the street
There's one like by the water
There's two days
There we booked
The restaurants we really want to go to
I have booked
And some are like for lunch
Some or for dinner
But there's two days where I
Either didn't book a dinner
Or I didn't book a lunch
To dedicate to those markets
Just to like
Exploring stuff our face
Also you just got to pop into some pubs
You know
Yeah that's why I just wanted to like be casual
And like maybe like whatever pop around
But I am
So excited.
I'm so excited.
I'm excited for you.
It's going to be so fun.
It's going to be a good week.
It's going to be a good week.
All right.
Let's get into today's show, the rest of the show.
We're going to be talking about Coachella Weekend, outfits, relationships, all of that good stuff.
We are also going to be talking about the absolute fuck-up by Netflix Sunday night that had everybody very upset with the love is blind reunion not being live.
Yep.

Coachella first weekend
was this past weekend. Obviously
we see all the outfits,
the relationships, the TikToks, the
Reels. They're going out all over the place, all over social media. I want to start off by talking
about the Coachella fashion this year, which seemed like we had gone back in time, and it's now
back to being more like hippie vibes. But I will say this. A lot of more boho vibes, which I like.
I like. But then the coastal cowgirl comes in, right? And now I'm confused, what are people
going to wear a stagecoach? Because every single fucking person wore cowboy boots to Coachella. Every person
wore cowboy boots and cowboy boots are in right now
I have myself a pair I like them a lot
yeah but and they're also
comfortable so I get it
but what it just everybody
looked like they were at stagecoach to me
and that was the vibe but I was very confused
and it's not that I didn't like the outfits I loved
a lot of outfits
but I also am like how does everyone get the same memo
right like I know I was gonna dress exactly
I was gonna say the same thing like I don't know if people are working
with stylist and like the stylist I'll talk to each other
I thought the same thing I saw someone
and TikTok be like, how
did you all know?
She was like, when I went to Coachella
in 2018, I wore that.
But how did you all know
to wear that?
This year. Like, how did you all know to bring
to bring back those vibes?
Everyone's wearing crochet, knitted stuff.
So many. Everybody, I'm like, how did everybody
skirts? But I guess maybe because the websites that do
the festival edits, that's the kind of
clothes they were putting out.
So maybe that's what people saw.
Right.
But it was just crazy to me that everybody was wearing the same exact thing.
And I also love seeing the people that have been around the block a couple times where
like Zoe Doits is showing up in a T-shirt and a mini skirt and like looking comfy and cool.
And then you get Haley Bieber, Kendall Jenner.
They're wearing bag of jeans and a cute little tank top.
Like you know the people that have just been there and they're like, I can't, I can't be
bothered with coming up with another outfit.
But then you have Alex Earl who everybody's waiting.
waiting at the edge of their seat to see what she's wearing.
I liked all of her outfits a lot.
I did. The one, the first one with the green, like, cut out pants.
Love that one.
With the leather vest, I really loved.
The light-up dress was sick.
Yeah.
Like, I'm sure that looks sick in pictures.
Yeah.
Really cool.
But yeah, it just seemed like everyone kind of had the same vibe.
You know, I loved who I felt like was a little bit different and still kind of had, like,
kind of felt like Coachella, but didn't have.
have as much of the heavy boho vibes was Dixie.
Yes.
I thought Dixie, like, all of her stuff was really cool.
Honestly, she just always looks really cool.
She just looked really cool.
I love her hair.
Yeah, everything.
Because Charlie definitely went more, like, flowy boho vibe.
And honestly, it felt like there wasn't that many.
Of course, there's always celebs there.
But even like at Revolfest, it did feel like,
very cowboy boots, skirt, dress, or like that kind of vibe, which, you know, everybody looked
beautiful.
But there wasn't like anything too crazy.
I did laugh at all the meme is about Vanessa Hutchins, not going to the Coachella for the
first time.
Since like 2015, I think people said.
I think somebody wrote, I forgot who they compared it to.
They were like, this is like Jesus not showing up to the last supper.
Yeah.
Like, how is she not there?
Yeah.
But I enjoyed the content this weekend.
I mean, we talk about Coachella every year.
And I have the same sentiment where, like, I really don't want to go.
And it's for me, personally, it felt like a little bit of, like, I didn't feel like it was overkill.
So I was going to get to that point where I usually have the same sentiment where, like, I don't want to go.
And not in, like, a snobby way of, like, oh, dead these people, like, I don't think I can handle the three-day festivities that Coachella requires.
Like I like a nap, totally.
I like a good nap and I just don't think I have it in me to do this three-day marathon that people do.
And the pressure of finding your car and your Uber or whatever to get home to wherever you are this day.
The pressure.
I don't think I can handle that pressure.
Years prior had been feeling like people were just going for, you know, because you're an influencer and you go to Kotelo.
I kind of felt it a little less this year.
Like I didn't seem like you just.
just said, like, I didn't feel like it was overkill.
But I agree.
I think it changes year to year.
And I think people seemed more chill about it.
Like, there was plenty of people who were like, yeah, I'm headed to Coachella.
I'm doing, I'm doing, like, one thing and then I'm leaving.
Like, it's, you know, not taking it, like, so crazy seriously.
Or, like, of course, there are the people that are experiencing it all and they want to do
everything and go hard and have fun.
Kudos.
But then I think there's also another half that is, like, you know, like, you know, and
Like, yeah, hanging during the day, going home, sleeping, coming back, or like, even the people that are like, I'm going for one day.
That's all, that's all I can handle.
Pick your favorite day.
That's, I think that's something I would do.
I could do, I could definitely do one full day and maybe a half of a second day, like at night.
I could not do three full days.
Like, I just.
Once you get to, once you get to Sunday, it's a, it's a struggle.
Yeah.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
But then we also had some, some couple.
Some hot moments maybe.
Some people reuniting Camila Cabello and Sean Mendez.
It's been quite some time, but they were there.
They were making out.
They were having a good time.
I wonder if they had been talking.
Did they just run into each other?
And you know, you run in.
You start hooking up.
Like I don't know.
So page six posted that this is not them getting back together.
But they did speak before they both knew that they were going to be there.
They decided to meet up.
And, you know, one thing led to another.
But they said the insider told page six,
Sean and Camilla remained friends
with a lot of love and history between them,
but they aren't dating.
Again, they've stayed in touch since their breakup
and decided to meet up at Coachella
since they were both going.
While the source says one thing led to another
as the night progressed,
whoever caught the kiss on video,
that was just a one-off thing.
Yeah, you're going to tell me
they didn't bang that night?
Well, yeah.
And then they woke up the next morning,
they were like, fuck.
It kind of gave me hope that these two could rekindle because I do love them together.
Like, when I first saw this video, I didn't have any crazy reaction.
Just brought a smile to my face.
Yeah, I was just like, oh, cute.
Oh, look at them kissing.
I hope they are figure it out.
That's what I bye-bye had.
I was like, oh, that's cute.
Like, they ran into each other or whatever and they had some feels still.
And honestly, from, not that I've been in like that exact position, but from the female
perspective of like being at a music festival and you're nervous about like seeing your ex and like I said
I have not been in this situation. I'm just truly making up this hypothetical in my head but just thinking
about it like you're nervous because you know your ex is going to be there and you're like oh is
it is going to be weird like but then like in the moment when he's affectionate you're like yes
yeah you're like oh my god I still and then the next day when you're
And the next day you're like, oh my, what the fuck was that?
And then you realize that you guys aren't getting back together and you're like, fuck.
Now I'm upset all over again.
But in the moment, it feels like a victory.
Yeah, yeah, that was nice to see.
Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner.
Kendall Jenner went to see his set.
She was dancing, having a good time.
Dancing.
She was slightly moving her hips.
Remember when Tyler the creator said.
She was, shaking them bones, Kendall.
Yeah, yeah.
She was swaying back and forth.
Yeah.
I mean, it's bad.
Put a little oomph in those hips
Put a little umph into it, come on
Yeah, that's music just makes you want to dance
Oh my God, yes
And I was, I did not, I got a lot of
Swaying about that
I think maybe she knows people are filming her, so
Did you see Bad Bunny what happened with Post Malone?
It's kind of awkward on stage.
I didn't see the video, I saw people talking about it
But I didn't see what actually happened
I only heard about it too
I don't know, they couldn't hear his guitar or something
But it looked like
Bad Bunny kind of just like kicked him off the stage
but it was because, like, they couldn't hear it.
So they couldn't play together.
I don't know.
It was weird.
Yeah.
The video is awkward.
Another one was, um, people saw, I guess, Leonardo DiCaprio.
They thought, cozying up to Irene Shake, which probably Cooper's ex.
You know, at a certain point, at what, at what point does Leo stop going to Coachella?
Hey, she's pretty old for him.
Hey, I saw, she's the age appropriate.
She's like in her, I saw, like, in her.
I saw John Ham there.
Yeah, yeah.
Apparently John Ham, I don't know how true this TikTok is, but I saw a video of him there.
And then somebody said that he just kept repeating like, this is a good beat, like during Bad Bunny.
Which is just hilarious.
There's just moments where it's like, it just feels like deja vu because you see Leo every year he just, like, is he going to be 70 going to Coachella in a baseball hat and a scarf around?
his face. He does, it's the same vibe
every year, the scarf, the hat, the baseball hat.
He was wearing them, like, I, and I'm not trying to
sound like one of these people, but like,
is Leo going to give up the mask at some point?
Because he is dedicated
to wearing this mask. They do that, though,
at Coachella, because of the dirt. Well, I know
that because of Coachella, but this man
everywhere he goes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's, if you're
really that famous, it's probably like, yeah. I think for that
purpose now is why, yeah. You think it's because of that, right?
Yeah. But it's like, you're, like, people are still
photographing you, Leo, like, knowing it's you because now we know you're the guy with the baseball cap and the mask everywhere. Yeah. Like, I'm guessing maybe peak when I'm guessing maybe peak situation, he realized like, oh, like maybe we started getting recognized a little bit less. So he now was just like really trying to hold on to it. But now he stick, now he sticks out. But yeah, the scarf, the Gochella scarf baseball hat thing, he's been doing for a decade.
Yeah. And you're right. You're like, you wonder like, when is he going to get tired of me?
Yeah, it's like there, yeah, I don't know. It's the same old same old. Yeah. Or maybe it's this new. Maybe he's fucking loves the Coachella vibes. Maybe he clearly loves models and partying. Like Leonardo Caprio that. Can't blame him. What we have seen, yeah. I mean, two great things. Yeah. What we've seen from Leonardo Caprio is that that's what he loves. On top of that, people are most upset about Frank Ocean. Yeah. Which I understand. Now,
let's preface this right because frank ocean people are very sensitive when it comes to frank ocean
because he did lose his brother three years ago which was awful and very sad and obviously you know
people understand that he's grieving and right like just it's a sensitive subject so preface it like
that frank ocean was always like this so i think that is where people's frustration comes in
is that like Frank Ocean
He's an artistic diva
He is and he has not performed for seven years
And so people or less than seven years
Because I saw him
But no big deal
But anyways
A couple of times
But
People flew from different countries
To see this man
Because he has such a loyal fan base
They paid thousands of dollars
They lined up
Hundreds of thousands of people stayed up in other countries
to like seven in the morning to watch this.
They lined up as soon as those doors opened
and didn't see any other artists.
They just sat on the ground
so that they can be right up front to see Frank Ocean.
For like 12 hours.
And what Frank Ocean did was play five or six
of his songs that he remixed into not his songs,
barely sang them,
then did a DJ set for 10 to 20 minutes,
showed up an hour late to all.
all this, mind you, and then cut it early.
And also, and also,
and also, canceled the live stream. Canceled the live stream
so people couldn't watch. No one could watch it.
So people had to find alternate ways. Obviously,
people there were streaming on live.
Didn't even come out onto the stage, really.
He stood half backstage. Apparently, no one
could even see it. Yeah. He made it so that
nobody could even see him. So he was just like
barely on stage. He was backstage. You could
just see him on the screens.
At what point do you say, I'm going to let
somebody else have this opportunity in
spot? Because clearly, I don't want to be
there. Clearly, like, it is very
clear he did not want to perform at
Coachella. Like, you know what Beyonce?
Put her heart and soul into performing at Coachella
because that she wanted to put on a performance
for her fans and for herself, prove it to herself,
and be like, this is fucking Coachella.
I'm going to make a documentary about this.
Like, Frank Ocean,
he was... He's collecting a check. Yeah, he's collecting a check.
He was obligated to be there.
And he is...
And is showing basically these fans, like, I don't give a fuck about you.
Yeah, that's what everyone's saying. It's like, he
kind of hates his fans.
Right. He's like, I don't know.
care about me guys and I feel bad for the Frank Ocean super fans because I'll be honest like I really
I do not know a lot about Frank Ocean I know like probably his three biggest songs and from an outsider's
perspective I felt like the way people talk about um like how he's been with planning performances and
stuff in my mind I'm like this is not it's good something's going to be something's going to go not
go wrong, but like, this isn't
going to be great. And I think I felt back
because all his fans were
so fucking excited. They were like,
it's going to be amazing. He's back, like
this whole thing. And
it's just disappointing, I think.
I kind of had that feeling too,
because I have heard and
like, I just, I feel like
it's known that Frank is just
yeah. He's an artistic guy.
Like, he just changes his mind all the time.
I hate that because it's like
Tyler Crater's artistic. There's a million
very artistic people and they perform for their fans.
There's a level of like artistic and then you're just a diva.
Right, well you lose, there's plenty of people that are artists who still are professionals.
Yeah.
Right, exactly.
He's not professional at all.
And it makes me feel sad for him in some way because then you do have people saying like cut him some slack, give him a break.
He lost his brother.
He's going through a really hard time.
That is true.
He is going through a really hard time and he has been going through a really hard time.
and he has been going through a hard time.
But at the same time, we cannot act like Frank did not do this before.
When you have a plan.
Which sounds insensitive and I feel bad even saying that.
But like, this isn't a new thing for Frank Ocean.
And he used to, I'm going to put out an album and then he doesn't put out an album.
Like, this is just.
He made them build an ice rink that was like in the plan for months.
And then last second was like, I don't want the ice rink anymore and melt it.
And they made him melt it.
And he wasn't going to get on stage and perform.
He was going to cancel unless they melt it.
melted that ice rink. That's, that's crazy. And all the dancers you like practice skating
and a certain point like I get it like art artists are artists and God if something doesn't go to
their vision they will not perform. But in a situation like that like you have a plan.
It's last minute you got thousands of people depending on this like your fans are waiting.
People are dying to watch this all happen. Just just do what you.
You had plans.
Also, he just show up over an hour late, and he just, like, doesn't even acknowledge any of it, like.
Right.
And then.
He, like, sorry.
Yeah, and then to end, yeah, no.
And then to end it, he goes, oh, they're cutting me off curfew.
Thank you too much at the end of the show.
Walks out.
Like, I can't even imagine if I spent all that money to go see my favorite artist, and that's how he acted.
And then you look at your, you like, question yourself.
You're like, should I really be a fan of somebody who, like, treats?
I was watching on Instagram.
lives and I just was like, why am I doing this?
Like, this is absurd.
Yeah, it's crazy.
It's just like, let somebody else have that opportunity to perform at Coachella if this is how
you're going to act.
Right.
You know, there's so many other artists that would die at that opportunity to perform
at Coachella.
Let someone else, you're taking up a spot, you're collecting a check, you're scamming
Coachella.
Like, you're straight up scamming Coachella.
It's the festival itself and all the people that attended it.
Taking away the live stream, Coachella had to have been fucking pissed because that
That's such a big thing for them.
Right.
Like everybody does a live stream.
And like it makes them look so dumb that they,
they were promoting it so hard.
Like Frank Ocean Live stream tonight.
And then like they just had to delete all of it.
Didn't let them sell merch.
Yeah, no merch.
No Frank Ocean merchandise signs everywhere.
Didn't let them sell Frank Ocean merch.
He had no merch.
I literally almost bought a ticket and was going to fly to
hotel.
There's got to be something else going on with him.
Like I don't get like it's just, I think this is just who he is as an artist.
And it's unpleasant.
It's not like, but that's the thing.
Like, if you're an artist who, because you hear people talk about musicians that are like,
I love to make music, but I do not let, like, I don't want to perform or like I don't want to have to worry about that stuff.
Fine.
Like, but then just commit to that.
But he doesn't like either.
He doesn't put out music.
He doesn't want to perform.
They need to find somebody new next weekend.
They can't have him go back on stage.
Like even if he's like, no, I promise I'll do it.
He won't.
Like, somebody needs to take his spot.
But even if he's like going to do.
it, there won't be nearly as much, like, there won't be people waiting as long as they did.
Like, you're not going to wait all day for that performance.
They're going to be let down.
They know what happened last time.
How are you going to expect him, even if he's like, no, I promise I'm going to do my set.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, oh, you're going to stand half backstage.
You're not even going to be on the stage for people to see you.
Like, it's just crazy.
Really absurd.
Yeah, big time.
I can't sport him anymore.
Yeah, Noah was going to go hard stage.
huge fan of his music, but it's like...
Same.
I love her scorned.
Unfortunately, but fortunately have seen him multiple times and he was fantastic, but
you know?
Yeah.
It's a talented man.
He is.
Yeah, I'm sorry.

Other
live stream debacles was Netflix
Sunday night. I saw the music suck in my head.
Fucking Netflix, how embarrassing.
Like, not going to lie, we were all joking at first,
but seriously embarrassing of Netflix
to not be able to get a live stream up
for the Loves Blind reunion
that everybody was waiting for.
I actually had been waiting too long,
because I thought it was the week before
on freaking Easter.
I thought that the Love is Blind reunion was on.
I hope they don't do this again.
So I was extra waiting.
8 p.m. food ordered at the exact time
that Love is blind is going to be on.
Like me and Marty are like, all right, perfect.
We got our day set.
We did everything.
We got to get done.
Order food.
8 p.m.
Go right into succession at 9 o'clock.
10 o'clock.
Maybe we'll go for a little walk outside right before bed.
It's so beautiful.
We were like, this has fucked up our entire night.
Like, we are now in.
shambles and everyone's just watching the waiting
symbol that freaking music
because you're like I don't want to shut it off
put something else on what if it comes on
Netflix at 8 o'clock tweets
15 minutes
it'll be worth the wait with a picture of arena
I was going to tweet if
an execution doesn't go down Game of Thrones style
wasn't worth the wait but I thought I'd get kicked off Twitter so I didn't
tweet that but insane
Yeah it was insane and it really was
I mean look clearly they did not have
the infrastructure
to handle a stream of this caliber, it feels like,
because people all across the world were trying to watch.
Like, I saw Joey King post this Snapchat,
a TikTok where she was like,
woke up at 3 a.m. to watch The Love is Blind reunion.
Like, people all over the world were trying to watch this.
They did not have the ability to get it going.
Devin just said that Netflix deleted their 15 minutes late tweet.
Yeah, cowards.
And then they never posted after that.
It was never like all the, the only thing they posted after,
was like this apology that made it seem like somebody died.
Like it was just like it was an apology.
Like I know you've all been waiting.
Like we swear this will be available later.
We had to record people to come out on stage at the event because it was a live
live audiences there.
So they had to be like, okay, we're going to, we're going to record.
Don't post anything because it's not going to be on later.
And then it worked for some people and did not work for others.
so like you, Ria did not watch any of it. I didn't get to watch any of it. I watched, I think almost all of it because when I finally got it to work, but it was so confusing because I got it to work, but Netflix is tweeting like, oh, it'll be available later. So I'm like, what am I watching? Like, do they know that people can watch? You like feel wrong. You're like watching with one eye open like this. You're hiding. I'm like, are they, do they think that they're just recording and they don't know that there are people? Like, we're all.
A lot of people were watching.
They were.
So it was all kind of a giant mess.
And at the end of the day, as a whole,
I think a lot of people weren't able to watch it.
So I don't really want to, like, spoil too much about it.
However, it was, in my opinion, it's just sometimes,
like, it was not worth it to do a live reunion.
I think just do a regular reunion.
Film more of it.
have more questions.
Jackie was not there,
which is absolutely insane.
I want a legit reason
for why Jackie was not there.
Because in my mind,
I'm like, how does she get away
with not showing up?
It's crazy to me.
And,
and the drama,
it's just,
they, Love is Blind
has to figure out their release.
Like, they're messing with different things, right?
It's like, oh, previous seasons,
they've gone so long
without them in between airing the season.
People are waiting so long.
They've been married for months.
Then they film this reunion.
Or now they're like, oh, we'll do it live,
like really amp up the drama.
But really, for so many of these couples,
the audience is all living through this right now.
So we want to see things hashed out.
Like we want to see conversations about these events.
Meanwhile, the contestants are like,
you know, it's been a year,
and we've all kind of moved past this.
and we're over it.
And it's like, okay, but we're not over it.
So they should film the reunion basically right after they film and then just put it out
all at once.
And like, they just have to cut the time of how long it takes for these things to come out.
They really do.
Like, it needs to come out way faster.
They cannot be waiting like six months plus to put these shows out because for these
people to be like, oh, it's actually been a year.
Like Jackie and Josh were like, you know, yeah, we've been together for a year.
Here. Like what are we for that's so hard for me to understand because it's like oh we just watched it
but that's why it's disappointing because they all they they have moved on so it's like okay
I get them not wanting to rehash all this stuff but it makes the reunion feel really disappointing
because you're not really getting the drama and um i don't Vanessa Lashai drives me absolutely
nuts. She talks over
the contestants. She talks over Nick.
Nick couldn't get a word
in. I felt like Nick
he
did the perfect match
yes, by himself.
Just give him the job by himself.
I just, she's just
as a person, I'm sure she is absolutely
lovely, but
she talks over everybody. She
cuts people off. She
is pointed at like
who she presses and who she
doesn't. She pressed Paul pretty hard.
She pressed Irina. She pressed
Marshall. Jackie and Josh, they filmed a whole
separate interview with
just Vanessa and Jackie and Josh on his screen.
And she was like, you guys are so cute.
Like it was just, it was like, wait a second.
Jackie didn't have to answer to anything.
And then she was kind of given Marshall a hard time.
So it was like, in my mind, I'm like, does she know something that we don't
know here? Like what is happening? Maybe. Maybe she does.
I don't know.
It was just,
it felt very bizarre to me.
And then on top of that,
every year she does this,
she is so annoying
about when these people
are going to have children
that it's borderline inappropriate.
Like, for,
I get uncomfortable watching
and I'm not in the room.
Like, you don't know what's going on
in any of those people's lives.
She brought it up multiple times
and at the end literally made them
all go around in a circle
and like, be like,
okay, Tiffany and Brett,
when are you going to have?
have a baby. When are you going to have a baby?
One are you? Like, and it was just like, you don't know
what's going on in these people. You have no idea
whether they can, they can't. You don't know
if they want kids at all.
It's just, it's a bizarre.
She really hyper focuses on that
and brings it up multiple times where it's like
that's, we can't be doing that.
I feel like we're past the times of like people
get married and have kids right away. Like that doesn't have to be
the case. People can get married, enjoy
themselves together for a while
and then they have kids a little bit later on.
There's a way to ask about
your future. Like I get she's the host. She wants to ask these couples like what they have planned.
But there's a way to ask that without being like, babies. When you guys having babies, we need to
love is my baby. Like it's like, whoa. They had Bartis come onto the screen holding his baby,
be like, when does everybody having babies? It's like, all right. I don't know if he's the role model.
Exactly. Like it was just, I don't know. It's not like he ended up in a lovely couple in Love is
blind and had a baby. I don't know. It was, it was bizarre. So.
At the end of the day
People are going to watch it
You can still watch all of it
See people answer
And who like
Tried to at least spice it up a little bit
I thought Micah kind of got off the hook a little bit
I think Micah got a lot of shit
Which maybe you know
Some was deserved some wasn't
But like the mean girl stuff
Micah like barely had to answer to
If so it was kind of bizarre
But if anybody needs to answer to anything
It's Micah's friend
Yeah
that girl Shelby she's a problem Shelby wasn't there obviously Shelby's a problem and at the end of the day
absolutely stunned that Kwame and Chelsea are married stunned stunned stunned stunned they did not give an accurate
portrayal of their relationship if you know I think because they seem to be happy and married
clearly we weren't given an accurate depiction of what was going on because my gosh I was stunned
yeah and I'm stunned they're still together Micah and Paul I just from the beginning never felt like
they were super compatible and they tried to figure it out and it didn't work, which I'm glad that
I'm glad that Paul did make that decision because I do think it was for the best,
for them for sure.
And although Paul, like I said, I'm trying to do.
Oh, well, that was in the final.
That wasn't even the reunion.
If people haven't watched the reunion, but in the after.
the wedding, Paul was like, I couldn't see her like being a mother, which was, that's a fucking
ruthless line. That's really rude. He tried to re-explain it in a way that did kind of make sense.
But Paul, the way Paul operates is just different because it does feel like he is very logical
and kind of lacks empathy. And so it's just like, he says what he's thinking. He's like, well,
I just thought that I couldn't see the two of us, you know,
having children together. And it's like, okay, that's, that's fair. Like, that's valid. Saying someone,
you can't see them as a mother is quite an insult. The way, the way he phrased it was very, very unfortunate.
But yeah, Netflix majorly dropped the ball on this one because so many people still can't watch it.
They tried to put it on this morning. They couldn't watch it. I couldn't watch Netflix at all.
Like, not only could I not watch Netflix love as well, I couldn't, anytime I clicked on anything, it wouldn't play.
You had to like finagle the system or like the live button disappeared.
You'd had to go into the actual episodes, click on the reunion.
And then I had to like, you had to try and fast forward and then press the live button.
And it kind of, that's how I got it to work, but it still was not.
I tried to do all of that.
But I couldn't do any of it.
And it was quite frustrating.
I have to watch this week.
Yep.
But end up watching Succession.
So that was nice.
Which I didn't want.
We flip-flop.
So you watched Succession.
I watched.
I know.
And I tweeted like if these two things are on at the same.
time, I'm watching Love is Blind because I can't watch Succession. I need a clear head when I
watch Succession. I like to pay attention fully phoned down to the whole thing. Couldn't do that
with Love is Blind in the back of my head, but I gave up on Love is Blind. I could not get it
to play for the life of me. So I watched Succession and it was once again great, obviously.
But that wraps it up. Yes, it does.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to you.
back to another game of beat Ria
and Fran. This is game
73 and we are joined by the
lovely Kristen and Nicole.
They have met Francesca before at a
Jonas Brothers concert which is not shocking
but we are excited
to have you guys here. Clearly you are
Jonas Bellers fanatics so maybe
we'll get some questions about that.
We shall see. You'll get it
I was thinking about that
this morning when I was thinking about trivia
because we've lost three games in a row and
now I'm really in my head about it.
And I was thinking like,
I bet you Noah was going to put a Jonas Brothers lyrics question in here
or some kind of lyrics question because he knows I'm so bad at lyrics.
We'll see.
We'll see what happens.
Yeah, we'll see.
But welcome to the show, ladies, and we'll start off.
Oh, yeah.
We'll go through the rules quick.
15 questions, 15 rounds.
If you get a question wrong, the other team can steal.
Whoever's the most points of the end wins.
That easy to determine who goes first and Noah is going to give us a movie.
We're going to guess the Ron.
tomato score, critics score, whoever is the closest.
That team will get to go first.
Everyone gets their own individual guests.
We'll alternate guesses.
So, Noah, what is today's movie?
Today's movie, shout out Caitlin from Suffield, Connecticut.

The world's most refreshing podcast.
Yes.
All right, everyone, we are here with a very special guest.
We have the wonderful and hilarious Lisa and Walter here in studio, which is amazing.
we're super excited
we are massive fans of you
and Abbott Elementary
is one of my
favorites. It's become my
ultimate like comfort
show. Yeah. Which we need.
Yeah. A lot of people say
hi, how are you?
Yeah, hello. Are you talking to?
Yes. Yes.
Both of us. I think you're
both my pies on. Yeah, yeah.
Sisters, bam.
People say that a lot
and it makes me feel really good
because my daughter, when she was a kid, she would have trouble falling asleep, and she would put on her comfort movies, which, by the way, none of mine ever.
Never one of something I'm in, but she would put on like Jerry McGuire or the old Greece musical with, you know, John Travolta.
And that made her feel good and made her feel safe and she would go to sleep.
And now I hear people are doing that with, throughout the years I used to hear the parent trap.
Yeah.
But now I hear Abbott Elementary, like people just watch it because it feels like they feel.
feel like they're family with us.
They feel like we're part of them and they're part of us
and just feels good. I think for us
it's definitely both Abbott Elementary
and the parent trap. You're going to sleep and you throw on a movie
you're like, the parent trap always plays.
I think I can quote the entirety of
the parent trap. Which by the way,
I have to bring this up.
Do people
call you Jesse instead of Chessie?
Yeah. A hundred percent that was the thing
where people were like, my whole life has been
a lie. Like I had
No idea.
She went through that. Me.
She went through that about a year ago.
Well, think about it.
First of all, what the hell kind of name is Chessie?
Yeah, yeah.
And then the other thing is, if you don't see it written, you know, this before we, everybody
was on the internet, right?
So you would hear it.
And on the movie, it sounds like Jessie.
Yeah.
So why would you think it was anything else?
Apparently it was short for Francesca, which was a, Chessie was the nickname of a designer friend
of Nancy Myers.
Yeah.
So that's where it came from.
Did you try to make Chessie happen?
Her name is friends.
I'm Frances. I am a Francesca.
I think I might have.
Well, there was my phase in middle school.
I went through like Chesca.
Yeah.
Like, so yes.
Yeah.
But nobody ever said chess?
No.
Chess.
No.
How do they go?
So they called you Fran?
I became Fran.
You know, I wanted to name my daughter, Francesca.
For real.
Honest God.
That was the name I had picked out from the time I was little.
Yeah.
Like when you play a game where you're like, what are you going to be when you grow up?
Yeah.
What kind of house?
What kind of car are you going to live in?
What are your kids names?
Francesca.
And then I married a dude who's last.
name was bomb.
I'm like,
Francesca Baum.
It's just reaching.
And we were so young
at the time when we had our first
that he was just coming up with joke names.
Like, if we have a sudden, we should name him Adam.
Franny bomb is kind of fun though.
Yeah, Franny bomb.
You sound like an old Jewish grandma in Miami.
You know she's going to be a good time.
Yeah.
Franny bomb, that Franny Bomb, she plays Mahjong.
She's incredible.
She makes a cuggle.
I want to tell you.
That is very funny.
I know.
She had a moment
of where we were recording
and she was like,
did you know
that her name is
and she's?
Did you know about,
did you know
the little parent trap
secret about my twins?
No.
I have identical twins
born on
the same birthday, October 11th.
October 11th.
The birthday of the twins
of the parent trap.
It's foreshadowing.
Isn't that weird?
That is crazy.
No, they came three years after.
Yeah.
They came.
When were they?
We did the movie in 97.
We got the 25th anniversary coming up this year.
Yeah.
And the twins were born three years later.
Wow.
Yeah.
That is weird.
That is really weird.
They put a hex on me.
Yeah.
Well, Abbott Elementary, you know, we're in the second season.
And I will say, I feel like there's just, there's so much drama and darkness on TV.
So a lot of times, like, all the craziness.
So, like, I'll watch, you know, whether you're watching, like, that episode of The Last of Us
or something and you're like it's like the zombie apocalypse
and you're like it's rough and you're like
one habit I'll mention before I go to bed like that's
that's what's so great about it and
my my family
my dad's whole side are all
South Jersey big Philadelphia fans
so like Melissa Schmentee
is your people is my people
like it's so perfect I was just joking with my sister
last day and I was like I feel like she's going to come in
and I'm going to want to be like
so what do you think about the Eagles next season?
I'm like totally thinking it's the real person.
Go Eagles.
You know, every time I go, it's like, well, you know, Han, I go right into the character.
People, the best compliment I get is people, like you're talking about family, they're like,
oh, she's from, you know, she's from there.
And I'm not.
It's acting.
But I work really hard at it because I know how important it is for people from a really
proud, you know, area,
neighborhood that you get it right.
Yeah. And my people are Sicilian.
That's not made up. So, you know, when
you see stuff and I'll get people
like text or tweet to me,
stuff like, you know, she said
Coolly. Nobody ever says coolly.
I only say coolly.
Because that's what, because cool.
I have my boyfriend saying it now too.
He's like, yeah. Like, just is a joke like, oh,
I'm like, oh, you just grab my coolly.
Yeah. And you know what people are like, oh, you can't say that.
I'm like, it means butt.
Yeah.
It's just cool.
My mother used to say, coolly, coolece.
And then they should go to bite it.
But they had it written as in one of the scripts.
They had cullo, you know, and I think, and they were trying.
Yeah.
Because they probably looked it up.
Oh, Italian.
Cool.
I was like, no.
We say Cooley.
Because I'm Sicilian and Sicilian has like a, yeah, exactly.
They have a slang.
So my mom speaks fluent Sicilian, but it's different than Italian.
Yeah, they don't say, and people don't understand.
And they said, they are like, oh, it's Italian, you say this.
And they had one of the characters that came in, the girl who plays my sister, they had
written in Italian.
And I said, yeah, that's not, that has to be Sicilian.
Right.
That's not, you say, you don't say, bell, you say bed, do.
Yeah.
So it's, it's like a little rougher.
It's the different dialects.
Yeah, different dialect.
Yeah.
So I have a Sicilian saying tattooed on my back with my three cousins and my two siblings.
Yeah.
That my grandma used to say all the time.
What you say?
Shadou me, which is.
my breath.
Yeah.
But if you look it up, you're not going to get.
You're not going to get what it means.
So I'm like, nobody ever looked this up because you're going to think it says something
totally different.
But I used to write it on all our cards and stuff.
So like, I know that's what it meant, but it's so different.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, there's a lot of that that is not, and it's not in the original script, but they
don't mind when I throw it in.
Like, you know, I'll come into a scene and they'll be like, wait, and I'm like,
I shepet.
And then they let me do it.
You know, I'm like, instead of saying this guy, can I throw it.
I say this jabroney.
Yeah.
Like, yeah.
Right.
Where are you originally from?
My parents are from New York.
My mom was from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
My dad was from the Bronx.
And then they moved when he went to grad school.
They were in Pennsylvania.
And then I grew up in the D.C. area.
I grew up right.
Yeah, I grew up right outside of D.C.
And then lived in D.C. proper.
And went to college there.
And where are you now?
California.
California.
California for,
geez.
Almost 30 years, like 28 years.
Wow.
That's crazy.
I know.
And I'm only like 37.
So I don't even know how that.
I don't even know.
Because I'm in negative numbers, weirdly.
And you went there and you stayed there.
So you like the difference because it's so different than where you're originally from.
No, it's not that.
I wouldn't be there.
No.
You could pay me to live there except you can because that's why I'm there.
Because it works.
No, I'm an East Coast girl, I think.
And I mean, you know, there's great things about it.
You can go to the mountains and ski and in the same day getting your car drive two hours you're at the beach.
Right.
So there's good stuff.
But there's crazy crap going on.
You know, you get, you know, wildfires and earthquakes and a lot of stuff that goes in droughts.
So it's nutty.
But I went out when I was doing stand-up out of New York.
I lived in Jersey.
I just had a baby right after I moved here to be an actor.
and that's what I did in D.C., like in college.
I acted off Broadway for a very brief period of time.
Then I got knocked up.
And that turned out to be something I did very well
because I have four kids.
My vagina's a clown.
Thank you.
These are the jokes.
So I started doing stand-up when my kid was like a year old.
And I came in and I started working at the showcase clubs at Manhattan,
like Catch a Rising Star and Carolines, which is just closed.
And the comic strip, which is my home club.
Our poster.
We did a show at Caroline's.
You can't see the bottom of it, but that's...
And then it's sad because now it's gone.
I know, I know.
And I just saw her, by the way, Caroline, that, you know, started the club.
These were like all my home club.
And then I traveled all around the country for like seven, eight years.
And I got an...
There were hardly any female comics then.
It's not like now.
Every, you know, sorority, the funniest girl is like, oh, she's the comic.
And then she gets on stage and does 50 minutes about blow jobs and, you know,
this as a career.
But I was the only one doing blow job
material in those days.
You got in there early. Exactly.
Yeah, head of the rush.
But I was also a mom
and there were hardly any moms doing stamp.
There were not a lot of women.
You know, there were not a lot of women that had a husband
that was going to say, oh yeah, it's fine if you go on the road with a bunch of
creepy comics and club owners and everybody's trying to get in your pants.
Yeah.
Which they did.
It's not like now where that was against the rules.
Right.
I was going to say, I,
I've heard stories.
So the comics, they mingle.
Well, I remember, Sarah Silverman started when I had been doing it when I was like at the clubs about two, three years.
She started.
She came down very young.
Like, I don't even think she was college age.
She was like 18 or 19.
She came down from New Hampshire, where she's from.
And she started to get, like, as I went on the road, you know, there was a, like, gossip, like that she was sleeping with comics.
And I remember catch out in Princeton.
There was a location in Princeton.
And the bartender said to me, yeah, like, so what?
So she's, you know, having some extracurricular fun.
Who cares?
She said last time she was here, oh, you're going to give me a hard time about it?
I'm a comic.
I hang out with comics.
Who am I supposed to F?
Cocktail waitresses?
Like, this is who I'm hanging out with.
Right.
These are my friends.
Makes sense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Did you do the comedy store?
Comedy store was
Yes, that's the first club I did
When I went out to the West Coast
But then Laugh Factor became my home club
So everybody has a home club
Right
So La Factor became the one that if people wanted to see me
They knew I could
They could find me there
But now that I'm on a hit show
I would do the improv every once in a while
But now I do the improv a lot
Probably the most of any of the clubs
And audiences are different
Depending on where you, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, totally
Comedy Club back in the day
Back in the old days
your audience is too young to know about this club.
But if you know Rodney Dangerfield,
there was a club called Dangerfields on the Upper East Side.
I called it the dark place.
Because it was all dudes.
It was all comics.
They all sat in the back of the room.
It was just evildess emanating out of their soul.
Like, you know, it was not, it wasn't friendly.
Warm and welcoming.
And the audiences, the audiences weren't smart.
Like if you wanted a smart audience,
you'd go to the cellar.
Yeah.
Right?
You'd go, I mean, they were a little, you know,
snapety, snap.
Hibster woke, but you, you know, you could go, if you wanted a club from all over the country,
you'd go to Carolines because there was a lot of tourists.
Yeah.
So every club is different.
Yeah.
So the store, I don't know, I think you get a mix.
Yeah.
Laugh factory, you probably get the most people that are like, they just want to have a good time.
They're not there to think.
Because the comedy store, I feel like is such an interesting place because it seemed like
there were different rooms.
Yeah.
Because I watched the documentary about it.
Yeah.
just seemed like it was so hard and like a little snobby at times and then you never really
you know it could be but it depends back in the day this is my understanding of it because again
i played there but then i came back to that was just like when i was still touring and then when i
went out to star and tv shows that that was not my home club but when i i went over there after a i think
american comedy festival or whatever american comedy awards that's what it is ACA and rosam was
there kind of holding court. And in those days, my show followed hers on the show that I
started and created. Second show. First one was on Fox. This is the second one on ABC. And so my show
followed hers. And she was really nice to me. Like people are all like, oh, don't go talk to Roseanne.
She's in a bad mood. I'm like, she's always in a bad. Have you listened to her act?
She's your personality. Yeah. It didn't, it didn't scare me. And I went up and she was like,
oh, you're great. Come here. And she was just very welcoming. So I know she's got a bummer.
rap now and everything. But she was very
supportive of female comics, very
supportive. So she was always
telling me you should work at the store because
Mitzi loves women and loves
female comics. And it was true.
Of all the clubs, comedy stores
where they promoted the most women
to like headlining spots.
Do you think New York or
L.A. is better for comics now?
New York. New York, yeah. 100%.
I've been back doing stand-up again.
Yeah. And I mean, I always did it.
I never stopped.
There are a couple years I stopped.
I was married to an asshole guy who was like,
comedy's not very feminine.
I'm the funny one.
I'm like,
you had the balls once.
Yeah.
One time to get up on a stand there.
You can get up there and see how you do it.
Tell some jokes, funny guy.
So,
you know, we won't go down that road.
It's done.
You're like, tell us more about that.
All right.
So I was married twice.
The first guy,
lovely Jewish man.
Turn out we had too much in common.
and he liked men.
Thank you.
The second one was a cheater,
which is not technically a religion,
but he practiced it like it was.
Devout.
Right.
He was orthodox.
He was what he was.
Orthodox peahound.
So when I went back to doing stand-up,
it was not like on the road because I was raising kids.
I have four kids that I know of.
My vagina is a clown car.
Why did you put me in stand-up mode?
Right?
Exactly.
I know. Exactly. So I started doing it again now because I'm like, oh, I got time. I could develop an hour. Let me go out on the road. Because you can make dates and you're on a hit TV show. People give you a weekend. Right? They know they're going to fill the club. So I was just down in Maryland. You know, I went so far away from the point. I got to follow the breadcrumbs back. Hang on. What were we talking about? I went so far away, you guys.
I know. New York, L.A. That's it. Thank you. God. She's good.
Why New York is better.
New York is better.
So the guy who middled, a wonderful comic,
Umar Khan,
look him up.
He's very good, everyone.
But anyway, he's fantastic.
And he said,
you know, what do you think?
Where would I go if I wanted to?
I mean, he's happy doing it in the D.C. area,
in the DMV, but I said New York.
Because L.A., it's incredibly hard to get a TV spot if you're not,
I mean, to get a stand-up spot if you're not on TV.
Yeah, really hard.
Like, they want to put people on that.
are known. Right. So if you're working, you know, that's the showcase rooms. There might be like
an alternative day here and there. Even then it's hard to get on Largo, unless you're like
best friends with Pat and Oswald or, you know, Sarah. Right. So I mean, there's, it's, it's difficult
to get spots. I think in New York, it's, first of all, it develops you. It's really true. If you can
make it here, you can make it anywhere. You better be funny. Build you know. Yeah, they will let you know. They will let you
No, they're not there to mess around with their time.
Yeah.
Make them laugh.
Yeah.
It's easier to get laughs around the country.
And it's not like because they're dumb or anything like that.
It's just that they're grateful that comics that have really worked at the craft are coming to their town.
They're just happy to be there.
Yes.
And in New York.
New York, you could go see a comedy show any night.
You can go to anywhere.
Anything.
In any neighborhood, you're like, I feel like having Thai food, a Swedish massage and, you know, Korean barbecue.
You, like, and you could get all three.
Yep.
At, like, two in the morning.
Yep.
So we just, we're spoiled in New York.
So you've really enjoying,
have been enjoying doing stand-up again.
Yeah, I love it.
I love it.
How often are you-
Standing ovations, it's been a minute since I got a standing-off.
How often are you working on your set?
Because I find it so interesting.
Like, I think what comedians do is impossible in some ways,
because, like you said, you're really,
you're trying to make people laugh,
and you have to,
basically sit with your own thoughts and come up with a set and get up there and just see what happens.
Well, I think, I think, like, I don't know if every comics like that. There are people that are real technicians,
like, you know, Seinfeld and people that are all into the words and, you know, figuring out the,
you know, dropping this word, but adding this and then the tag works like, we all do a version of that.
But for me, it was always the ideas came first. And the idea was just, sometimes I could think a bit in my head.
And from beginning to end, I knew what I was going to say.
And I'd never gotten on stage and said any of it, but I knew I could get on stage to do the entire hunk beginning to end and how it would play and where it would get a laugh. And I was right because I thought it funny. And I knew what was, but most of the stuff that I started off doing was stuff I had to say. I had to talk about it. Nobody else was talking about the stuff that I was like, it has to be out there. It has to be said. And now it's even more of that because we're living in a complete, can I say shit storm?
complete shitstorm in this country
for women in particular
for anybody who's marginalized
so there's a lot of stuff to say.
Yeah.
Do you feel like you have to
incorporate Abbott Elementary
into your jokes now or do you try to separate the jokes?
You know what's funny is that
I actually was thinking
because my audiences
oftentimes have a lot of teachers
I was just thinking recently
I got to write some material.
What was true that I started incorporating
was that I learned from being active on social media
that I have a really big lesbian following.
I don't know whether it's Chessie,
gay, but I'm like a, I am a queer and lesbian poster girl
and I am here for it.
I'm 100% down.
I'm like, you know, listen, I went to college.
I'm not saying.
Did you watch hacks on HBO?
Yes, yes, I loved hacks.
Love tax.
The episode where she goes on a lesbian cruise.
Yeah, I think I'd be a little bit smarter about it.
kisses them off. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. But I'm, you know, they know I'm an ally. So I think it's, I think that's part of it. But there are things that you write towards because you know this is who's coming to see me. Yeah. But I also know that I get a lot of fans of Chessie. Right. Or Jessie. Yeah. Yeah. Personally, Jesse. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. Let's be real. And so what I figured out that I had to do was at the beginning, because there were enough shows where I saw these young, beautiful faces.
like yours, like kind of go,
like what?
She's not Jesse.
I don't want to ruin anybody's childhood.
Right, right, right.
You know, I have some kind of, I get kind of, I get blue.
Yeah.
So I tell them, I kind of warn them up front.
Bob said, I was going to say the same thing.
I was exactly right.
He was Danny Tanner.
Yeah.
And then you see him on.
America's favorite dad.
Yeah.
Right. And then he's talking about like, you know, the most filching.
Yeah.
Graph stuff.
Felching.
I don't know what it's called.
Then he's on entourage.
And then we had him our show a couple of times.
Oh, God, I can't even imagine.
He, like, tried to play, like, the Danny Tanner role at first with us.
Yeah.
And then, like, the second time he came on, it was completely gone.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Just amazing.
So, no, we get that.
But, I mean, I would imagine people want to talk to you about the show all the time because it is so great.
And it's, I...
Funny enough, like, one of my biggest questions about doing a show, like, Abbott, is, like, you're working with so many...
Kids?
Yeah.
What is that like?
And how are they like?
Yeah.
Like don't ever do a show with kids or dogs.
Yeah, right.
Right.
Yeah.
They're fantastic.
Yeah.
I mean, first of all.
They're some of the cutest kids and they are so funny.
So funny.
They write really good stuff for these kids.
Yeah.
But even when they write good things for kids, you know that there will be kids that are like smack face.
Yeah.
That are just like, that's not what she said.
You know, and it's like, all right.
Don't listen to your mother.
Yeah, yeah.
Whoever coached you, it's fire.
But we don't get a lot of that because that's not who Quinta picks.
She's brilliant and our casting people are great at getting people that are,
first of all, she went and found a lot of the talent, not Quinta personally,
but like the talent team and then she would review them and give them the speaking roles
and, you know, kids who never had an acting job ever in their life because there weren't
that many black kid actors.
So they went to Compton
and they found kids.
And then the ones that are good,
you know, get to come back and
do more stuff and she finds
new kids and they do it. And they're great.
I mean, there was this one kid.
I mean, all of them are great and they're
absolutely adorable and they think that we're
their teachers. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,
now they're kind of season two. They're sort of hip
to it. Yeah, yeah. But they still come up
with their work because we give them real worksheets
and they'll come up and be like,
Miss Shamenti
I couldn't get this one
and so I'm sitting there correcting papers
and you're like get out of my face
I'm not a teacher
my mother was a teacher
she was a DC public school teacher and I actually love it
It's so cute
I'm like oh no that's I don't know how to teach new math
No
No we started to we started teaching math differently
I don't know why that happened
They also just cut out all the extra hard
math classes in general because they lied to us
when they said we were going to need it
You don't need it
You have a phone
Also, you have a phone, you have a calculator later in life. You're not going to have a calculator later in life. You're not going to have something by your...
We have everything. We have everything we could possibly need. Yeah, unless you want to be like, you know, a physicist. Yeah, exactly. And even they have their phones. Yeah, that's true. They could just Google it. That's right. That's right. Don't need any of that crap. Yeah. What was the process of you getting on this show?
Auditioning. Yeah. I auditioned and they sent me the script for...
first to read as they always do and I read it and I went oh this is my job this is me yeah like
who else in this town is playing a Sicilian school teacher yeah I'm like I dare yeah anybody
to be better than me better at this because I know who I audition against and I know like in my age
range who's out there and that's on the level where they would consider them I don't want to do
that because I'm like I know who probably went out for the role and and I think also quint at some people
in mind and I was one of the people when we talk about comfort movies. She watched,
oddly enough, not the parent trap. She watched Bruce Almighty. Yeah. That was her comfort movie.
And so she liked me a lot. And so when I auditioned, I so owned it. I really, I worked actually
with my best friend who was Meredith in the parent trap, Elaine Hendricks. I worked with her a little bit.
and then she read with me for the audition.
And when I read the script, I laughed and I cried.
And I went, I'm really glad that this is getting made because they make a lot of crap.
Yeah.
And they pick something decent.
And when we did the read, I knew that I killed it.
I knew I hit it out of the park.
But I also, it was like before we started shooting and I was talking to her before the scene started.
And I was saying just that.
I'm like, damn, they make some shit.
But this, whoever green light.
this.
And we left that in.
When we sent it in,
we let that piece in.
And I guess they liked it.
They told me after the fact that as soon as we saw 10 seconds,
somebody were like,
this is it.
Yeah.
I mean, it's generally funny is the thing,
because I feel like with a lot of sometimes,
especially the last like 10 years with network sitcoms,
they've kind of,
you're just, some of them are tough.
It's a little cringy sometimes.
I can't watch any of that.
And so when I wouldn't want to be, listen,
I would be happy.
In any case, raising four kids in an expensive city like Los Angeles to have 22 episodes of network money a week.
I'm not going to say that because I've turned down plenty of work.
Because to me, money is great when you land it.
But I also have been poor and I've struggled in between jobs and I create my own stuff.
If I'm not getting booking a job, I'm making something.
So I know how to eat poor for a couple of years.
But to be on a show that is this good, that's actually funny, that's not like.
And here's the message.
Pam fist.
You know, it's just, it's just funny.
It's just, it is, it is,
I'm not embarrassed by it.
No, it's totally, it's exactly like that's, when I feel like it first started,
people were really like, no guys, I swear.
It's funny.
Like you can, and then you sat down and watched and you were like, yes, this is so,
I watched the first season in like three days.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Amazing.
Black Twitter was hip to it first.
Black Twitter was like really on it.
So when I went, people said like, when did you know it was a hit?
I'm like, well, when we shot the pilot.
I knew what the chemistry was, and I'm like, something really awful would have to happen for this not to work.
I said to Quinta, if only teachers watch it, we're a monster hit.
Right, right.
But then people in the first episode, I started reading on Twitter.
You said what was going down.
And I was like, oh, oh, this is going to be big.
Yeah.
And then black Twitter first, then all the rest of Twitter.
Yeah.
And you guys have been celebrated so much now within, you know, the industry, all the award shows and everything.
But no, it's so fun to watch you guys all together.
You're so excited.
excited and we are we're up on stage you guys won I want you to talk me through when you guys
were up on stage I think it's sag right yeah and and you're all looking down and you're and quinta's
like there you there you are Brad Pitt oh that was golden gloves golden gloves golden globes
because because Janelle like thought he was hot yeah yeah so she was like Brad Pitt's here
but she didn't see him and I was like it's there and then Quinta goes oh hey how you doing
Brad Pitt. And it was just
charming, I guess, but it happened again
at the SAG Awards because
I'm a huge fan of Cape Lanchette.
And it happened to be the season because she was nominated for
Tarr. Every single party I went to,
Cape Lanchette was there. And I
never do this because I just don't have
the nerve. But I don't go up to people
and like fan girl. But with her
I did. She was standing with Bill Nye.
You know what I'm talking about, not the science guy.
Not the science guy. Bill Nye.
He was nominated a bunch this season.
Love Actually. Right, that guy.
He always does something weird with his fingers.
Do you ever notice?
No.
In his characters.
Look at him next time you see him in Love Actually.
He's always doing this with his fingers.
He's like subtly flipping everyone off.
I feel it in my fingers.
I feel it in my toes.
He's doing this.
For real.
But anyway, he's brilliant.
And they were standing together at some party.
And I was like, hi.
I'm Lisa and Walter.
I'm in a show in America called Abbott Elementary.
And I'm such a fan.
both of yours. I was an idiot.
And then she was like, oh, they were, he knew who I was.
She had no idea, but she'd learned. And then by the end of the award season, she's like
coming over to our table and it's like, oh, Quinta, Quinta. And then she would like sit
on her lap and like hang out. So it sagged after I was like, Kate Blanchett's right there.
Oh my gosh. That's awesome. That is so cool. You're going to get Kate Blanchett
telling everyone to watch Abbott Elementary. You know what? All right. Exactly.
That's a good endorsement.
You know, when people that you love, I have to say this,
because I'm still in a place where it's meaningful, right?
But when people that you really love stop you and are like,
oh my God, I'm such a fan.
I'm such a fan of you on your show and my kid watches with you.
Elizabeth Banks did that Phoebe Waller Bridge who would like from fleabag.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'm just blown away.
It is amazing.
I know.
It's awesome.
Luckily, we have to wrap up a little actress in the world.
What?
I'm getting the, I'm getting the wrap it up.
I know.
You talk too much, ladies.
We always talked to.
We all talk to you for hours.
We're having so much fun.
The last thing I do want to ask you quickly is you mentioned, 25 years almost for parent
trap.
Yeah.
Are you guys going to do something special?
You know what? Don't you think we should?
I think you should.
I mean, Elaine and I, my bestie, my BFF, ride or die Elaine Hendrix, we did something.
I love saying all you guys, you bring her like it was doing it.
She went with him to see the pictures?
Yes.
It was incredible.
I said, we'd be my date to the Saggwards, and she showed up with a tux.
Yeah.
She looked incredible.
And she looked great.
She was hot.
Yeah.
She looked like Dietrich.
Yes.
She was so sexy.
But helping with, again, with our lesbian fan base.
It was awesome.
I was like, that's right.
But anyway, we did something for the 20th because they didn't do anything.
They didn't, Disney wasn't doing anything.
So we did like a watch party.
She was in her place in New York.
She was in New York.
at the time. She lives in Georgia now. But I was in L.A. And we were on like Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram all at the same time watching with fans. And I'm hoping for the 25th we do something.
I think we should. I think you guys should too. Right? I think we should. I think you should too.
And I feel like Lindsay's in a great place. Yes. I was going to imagine. I text with her all the time.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I text with her and she's having a baby.
Yeah. Exactly. And she's back, you know, in Hollywood and working. Yeah.
Doing great. Seems like all as well. All as well. With every.
everybody. That's amazing. Well, we're so happy
to hear that and we love Abbott Elementary.
Everyone can watch on Wednesdays, ABC.
You can stream on Hulu as well
if you, you know, hear of not a left.
Yeah, we've got the season finale coming up in next
week. Amazing. The whole season's been great.
