Starting point is 00:00:01 What's up, everyone? It's Chicks in the Office with Ria and Fred giving you that Friday energy on a Friday. Happy Friday. Happy Friday. It's Friday and we're going into your birthday weekend. Yes, yes. My birthday is this Sunday. It is on Sunday. You will be 29. I will be turning 29. How do you feel about it? How are you feeling about this birthday? Honestly, I feel very excited. First of all, thank you guys so much for the surprise. I truly wasn't expecting it. And that's not a joke. Like, I know I walked in here and was like, oh, my God, what a surprise? It really did feel like a surprise.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Well, like a Sunday birthday is funky because it's like what, you know, we, well, we kind of had a scramble. Because we had some predetermined, like, Monday when we were like, oh, I think we were debating if we were going to record over Zoom or in the studio. We also might be traveling. We could be traveling. We don't know. So, like, all of a sudden, we were kind of like, oh, it's got, we got to go before. Oh, wow. Thank you guys so much.
Starting point is 00:01:00 So we're good. We got some balloons in here. You can't see them. But they're here. Yes, they're here. And they're beautiful butterflies, cupcakes, lightning bolts, diamonds,
Starting point is 00:01:11 all the things that describe me. All your favorite things. Cake. Noah got me nerds, got me clusters. Yeah. All covered strawberries. Sarah with the chocolate covered strawberries.
Starting point is 00:01:23 I know she went to Carlos in Oboken. I know Carlos when I see it. Um, but some good stuff. Yeah, some great stuff. So thank you guys so much. I seriously wasn't expecting it. Oh, you're so welcome. What's on the birthday agenda?
Starting point is 00:01:35 Ooh, good question. So Friday, my family is going to come to Jersey. They're coming? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So they say.
Starting point is 00:01:45 No, they're coming. But like, you know, it could be for an hour. They're coming earlier than I had planned because my dad wants to be the traffic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I thought they were. So I thought they were coming like for, you know, like dinner and cake. I think we need to like make t-shirts that say like, you got, we got to be the traffic. You don't understand.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Yeah, I'm going to get into this. Yeah, yeah. There's not that many topics anyway. Yeah, yeah. So I thought they were coming for like dinner. Sorry, not to cut you up before you get into it, but this is like my favorite thing to talk about it. And I don't know if it's going to be like we keep talking about it. No, it's so ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:02:24 But it actually like is so entertaining to me. Okay, so continue. It's so utterly ridiculous and I don't even care if they hear this because my dad knows that I got mad at him yesterday. Yeah. Because, so they're supposed to come over for dinner and cake, whatever. So I'm picturing like, you know, we don't have to work tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:02:41 but Matt has to work tomorrow. So, like, you know, I'm picturing a later evening. I wanted to do like a game. Happy hour. Happy hour into dinner cake. I wanted to do like a game night. Like I have game set up at my apartment. Like just chill, fun family vibes.
Starting point is 00:02:56 You know, so I called my parents on, I think it was Monday or Tuesday, and I'm like, all right, what time do you guys plan on getting here on Friday so I could be prepared? My dad's like, we're going to leave Long Island around 12. I'm like, noon. Yeah, noon. Okay, so you're going to get my apartment around 1.30? Yeah. 1.130 to o'clock? Middle the day.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Middle the day. Yeah. Like, I got, I had errands to run. You know, I wanted to like set up. Yeah, middle of the day. Okay, he's like, he's like, listen, this is what he says to me. Listen, I don't care if we sit around and do shit. I'm beating the traffic.
Starting point is 00:03:34 I said, okay, well, that's probably what's going to happen. We're probably going to sit around until like 5, 5.30. Then we'll have a drink. Then we'll have food. I was going to cook. I said, because Matt said to me. Oh, he's trying to beat the traffic to get to you. To get to me.
Starting point is 00:03:49 He's trying to beat the traffic. But then wait. So I originally told Matt that I wanted to cook for my family. And he said, Ria, it's your. birthday though. Why would you cook? And I said, well, I really love it. And I think you should do the things that you love for your birthday. And he was like, okay, but just like, remember, you know, your family doesn't really love food in the way that you do. Yeah, yeah. And I said, that's a great point. Why the fuck am I going to do that? So we then switch. And I'm, listen, all said with love. But my family always says to me that I live to eat. Yeah. Yeah. And that's true. Yeah. And whatever. We went through this. Sorry. Sorry. I love food. I love cooking for people. Whatever. They don't love food in the way that I do. So he was like, just, you know, just think about it. And I thought about it and I said, you're absolutely correct. We're going to cater this shit. I am not
Starting point is 00:04:41 going through this. Yep. Good call. Good call. So then we were talking about catering and then now in my head, I'm like, okay, well, they're going to get here early. Now I'm like, oh my God, I have to entertain them in my apartment all day, all night. And I'm getting nervous about it. Because he's got to be worried about the traffic leaving your apartment as well. So then I think about it. I'm like, all right, well, if they're going to get to me around 132 or whatever time they get to me. Why don't we go to dinner nearby the apartment to split up the time and then come back for cake at the apartment and then do drinks and games, whatever? So I call my dad.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I'm like, hey, this restaurant that I love has an opening for an early dinner. slot because I know they love an early dinner. Yeah. At like 5.30 and I have two nephews coming. So I know what it, whatever. That's right. The timing was it good. So I'm like 5.30, they have an opening for this amount of people. Why don't we go do that? Well, is it walking distance?
Starting point is 00:05:40 No, we're going to have to drive. Okay, so you're telling me we're going to have to take the car out twice. Yes, Dad. We're going to have to take the car the car out twice. Well, is there parking? Yes, there's parking near the restaurant. Okay, well, you know what it's like when there's kids. I said, yes, I'm aware, but Can they take the kids in now of the car one extra time? Or is that a whole?
Starting point is 00:06:01 You know, you don't understand what it's like with these kids. I'm like, okay, okay. I said, all right, he goes, and I don't understand. Why do we have to go back to your apartment for cake? Why can't we just do cake at the restaurant so I could leave from the restaurant? I said, what is the big rush to get home? What is the big rush to get home to sit on the couch floor? What's the big rush?
Starting point is 00:06:21 Yeah. What are you rushing home to? It's actually, actually. I'm literally sorry, I'm getting worked out. I feel like I'm your dad. Now you're talking to me like you're like, what do you? I literally, I didn't say any of that to him. I just simply said, okay, never mind.
Starting point is 00:06:35 We're just going to stick to ordering food at home. But you're right though. And just to jump in on the traffic argument, it's actually better for them to stay later and then go home. Yes. Than to try and get home earlier. Because anything before 7, 8 o'clock, They're hitting traffic
Starting point is 00:06:54 trying to get from New Jersey to long. And that's the Hamptons, we get in traffic. Right. And I told Matt this, he goes, okay, so if we go to dinner at 5.30, your dad's planning on leaving, leaving Jersey to go back home at 7.30. That's when dinner's going to end.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Yeah, and that's going to be peak traffic time of people leaving. What's the rush to get home? Where are you going besides the couch? Where are you going? Literally. So I just was like, forget it. We're just going to, you know, what dad? Yeah, let's just order the food still.
Starting point is 00:07:25 We're not fucking leaving the apartment. We're not going to leave the apartment at all. Yeah. We're going to sit in this apartment all day long. We're going to order food. And that, that's that. And I said, I'm going to make some old-fashioned. He goes, what, you want me to sleep over? I said, you can't. What? What? I'm like, oh my God. So this morning I said to bad, I said, should we just go to my house
Starting point is 00:07:47 for the night and just say, fuck this and just go to Long Island? And he said, no. No, no. It is. is your birthday, Maria. Foot down. He said, put your foot down. They are coming to you. Yeah. And I said, okay, fine, fine.
Starting point is 00:08:02 So whatever. We're going to have a great time. Like I said, it's all said with love. But I just don't understand. And he's right. I don't know what it's like to have kids. Absolutely correct. But I then brought up the problem.
Starting point is 00:08:14 I said, well, the kids have gone to dinner before. They have gone to a restaurant. Sometimes you take kids to a restaurant. and it's at 5.30. And oh, what? You got to take them out of the car one extra time? Like, yeah, it's annoying in the moment, but we'll make it through.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Yeah. I promise we'll make it through. It's a special occasion. Yeah, like, for one night. Yeah. I promise we can get through it. He's like, he's like, well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:08:42 It's not even up to me. You call your sister and your brother. See what they want to do with their kids. I'm like, no. Actually, I'm not going to do that because I know if I call my sister, she's going to be like, yeah, sure. You know what I mean? She's going to be like,
Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah, no problem. And she's like, Luca might be a pain at the restaurant, but we'll, you know, we'll do it. Yeah. Like, I know that would be the case,
Starting point is 00:09:00 but I said, you know what, scratch this? Because you actually ticked me off enough, and now we're just going to eat at home. And that's that. So that's my weekend plan for Friday. Dare I ask about Saturday?
Starting point is 00:09:11 Saturday, I'm actually very excited. Just be Matt. Okay, okay. We are going to dinner to this place in Jersey. I'm very excited about, very excited.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I've been wanting to go there for a while, have heard great things. He has some other stuff planned. You know him. He won't tell him. I loves a surprise. Won't tell me. He's like,
Starting point is 00:09:34 when do you want your gifts? I'm like on Sunday on my birthday. But hey, if you think you should give them to me earlier, you could do that. It's the whole song and dance every single holiday and birthday, which I love. He's like so excited.
Starting point is 00:09:44 He's like, I'm so excited for the weekend. I'm like, what is it? What are planned? And he's like, so excited to save. Me too. He's like, you'll see.
Starting point is 00:09:53 I'm like, okay. I don't even know what he got you, which now I'm like, I know, which is, he must have just. Should I be mad at him? That he didn't tell me what he got you? Maybe. Maybe he just trusted himself. Yeah. Did he like ask somebody else's opinion?
Starting point is 00:10:07 Because that's going to be awkward. Yeah, that's going to be really awkward if we find out he did that. All right, I'll confront him. I'll confront him. You should have done for recording. Well, let's see what he gets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we can confront him.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Yeah, yeah. Because I did tell him about one thing I wanted. Okay. So maybe he had something in mind. Right, but he's not a one gift kind of guy. No, he likes multiple. There's going to be some sort of surprise element, I feel. And then, so that's Saturday.
Starting point is 00:10:30 You guys also love an experience. So maybe there's. We do love an experience. An experience tied in as well. Yes. And then on Sunday, really my wish was to wake up and not have a plan. Yeah. Because I feel like I'm.
Starting point is 00:10:44 That's the best way to do a Sunday birthday. Because Sunday birthdays, there's like pressure because it's still technically the weekend, but it's a Sunday. You want to have fun, but then you don't also want to, like, quote unquote, force other people to, like, do something on a Sunday. For sure. If they don't want to do something on a Sunday, yeah. Maybe they're on Sunday people. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:04 And I, here's the thing. I kind of just wanted it to be, like, low-key birthday. 29, very exciting last birthday in the 20s. But I do plan on doing, like, a big thing next year with all my friends for the big three-o. So I kind of just, like, didn't bother anybody with plans this weekend. Fair. And I am going to wait a. wake up Sunday. That is true. You really didn't. No, I didn't plan a single thing. I said I'm just
Starting point is 00:11:26 I kind of just wanted to be like low key. Not because I'm hiding for my birthday, but really because next year I plan on bothering everybody with a big plan. We have travel next week, Days with StarsCon, all these things. I'm kind of hoping that depending on how that all pans out for us that maybe we can do something fun. Yeah, I just was like what, you know, I really just want to wake up on Sunday with no plan because I'm, I feel like I'm always waking up with somewhere to go, which I'm feeling very grateful and blessed for. Actually, that leads me into my next thing I want to talk about with this year.
Starting point is 00:11:56 But, yeah, but he knows that I have had birthdays in the past years ago that, like, I have been like, oh, I don't want to do it. And then it's just like nothing, you know? And so that's why I know he has something planned because he's very thoughtful like that. Whereas, like, even though I say I want to wake up and do nothing, you know.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Yeah, understood. There's still something involved, for sure, in which he keeps teasing with a smile on his face. So we'll see, we'll see what happens. You got to put your name up on 30? No. No, 3430 is going to, he's trying to pressure me. We're not talking about this right now.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Get off my case. We can't go down this, Robin Holpon. We can't. She just want to do it. I know. Not right now. Not right now. Not right now. But I'm feeling very grateful and blessed going into this year. I was talking about that this morning that I feel like the past couple of months have been some of my favorite memories of my entire life.
Starting point is 00:13:00 That's amazing. I feel like 28 was a really good year for you. I will say this though, like, you know, the start of this year, not 28 specifically, but the start of 2026. When I look back in January and February, there were some crazy times, you know, like I feel like, oh my gosh like me they won't care that I'm talking about this but me and my siblings at the beginning of 2026 got into like literally the biggest fight we have ever got into like explosive yeah it was so bad
Starting point is 00:13:34 and I feel like I literally went to York because Matt was away for work I was home with my siblings on Long Island and it was so bad that I left and I went straight to France apartment it's like ran away and I was like this is so terrible and I say it with light now because we have now moved past it. And we were, everyone thought the other was wrong. Like we were all wrong in individual ways.
Starting point is 00:14:00 But it was like one of those like everyone's pointing fingers at each other. My parents were in Florida. The three of us got into the most explosive fight we have ever gotten into in all of our lives as being siblings. It was genuinely terrible. And that was in the winter. And that was kind of like a hard, hardish time. And I feel like it's interesting. like obviously everyone has family shit,
Starting point is 00:14:21 but nobody's getting on like podcasts and really, because it's not my place to tell my family's business. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, of course. That would be insane. If I got on here and was like, yeah, if you were like this week,
Starting point is 00:14:33 and now it's because time has passed and it's okay. But if at the time when you guys were still fighting, if you were like, we got into a massive fight, like forget it. I don't think there'd be no resolved. No, now it's fine. But like if I came in that Monday and was like this weekend,
Starting point is 00:14:47 yeah, yeah. Me and my siblings go onto the crazy. That would be sort of insane to do because it's really no one's business. And I feel that way about family. Like you can go through a lot of family things, but on your podcast, you're not going to share your family's business. But all that to say, I would say the winter, there were some hard moments with that. But we, you know, we made up. And family is always going to be, it's always going to be, you know, you always get into the, you can get into fights and you make up and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:15:18 But I think in the past couple months have been some of my favorite memories, although I have just complained about the way that my family wants to come over on Friday. Yeah, but that's just, that's just classic. That's classic. We're complaining about traffic. Yeah, that's real. And that is a universal family experience. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:15:42 And as, like, I remember the same shit when I, because, you know, none of me and my siblings, none of us have kids or my cousins, like, they're all younger. So I just remember the experience from me being a kid. And my parents picked, like, they picked a location to live in,
Starting point is 00:16:06 which was like equidistant in between my dad's family and my mom's family. But it would be like, oh, we're going to South Jersey, we got to leave it this time. And my dad, if we didn't leave, by X amount, X time, we're hitting all the traffic. Same thing with trying to get to Long Island.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Same shit. Exactly. And you remember it. You just remember it. Like, it's fucking traffic, man. And but it really is like, traffic is, everybody fights about it. Everybody argues about it.
Starting point is 00:16:36 There was one year, I thought my parents were going to get divorced on the side of the road. Like, I, we were driving to Martha's Vineyard and it was like, it had nothing to do with any other family members. it was just my mom was still working in the city and it was like a Friday afternoon maybe the worst time and like my it was my dad so my dad had to pack up all three kids all the
Starting point is 00:16:59 stuff everything so he's already in a bad mood my mom's taking the train to somewhere in Connecticut and we're like supposed to be you know pick it up a new haven kind of thing like and it took us so long to get to new haven that when like there was no way we were even going to the what's whole ferry, but we sell to go get my mom. And like, it must have been my mom's idea, I don't know. But it was, I remember sitting in the car and being like, this is it. Yeah, like, well, like it was.
Starting point is 00:17:32 All because of some traffic. All because it's, like, all because we sat in traffic for like so many hours just to get to fucking New Haven. It's just that built up anger, that traffic can cause in you. I know. It's part road rage, it's part of these things. And let me tell you, we had, we never left for Martha's Vineyard on a Friday afternoon ever.
Starting point is 00:17:47 ever again. You learn your lesson that way. Ever again. It was Saturday 5 a.m. Yeah, because they're like, if we want this family to stay together, we need to leave at 5 a.m. on Saturday. We cannot be in the traffic. Friday afternoon never happened again. Completely fair. Yeah. I don't blame them. Yeah. But sometimes you're just like, no, absolutely. For one might. It's going to be okay. And sometimes like it's just a way, like sometimes you just have to come to terms with you're going to be sitting in traffic. Exactly. It's just, you know, Sometimes it's just life. It's just the way it is.
Starting point is 00:18:19 You will make it to your destination. It's just going to take a bit longer. All that to say about me bringing up my fighting with my siblings or whatever was all that just to make note of like, yes, I say that I have literally had, like some of these past months have literally been some of my favorite of my entire life. Yeah. But months. I say that because I don't want to act like this year has been.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Oh my God. Perfect. Oh, my God. Amazing. There has been. problems in my life whatsoever. You know what I mean? Like that's not the point of that.
Starting point is 00:18:53 But seriously, I really have, I really have been mentally in a fantastic spot. Yeah. Like, truly. Probably your best. Probably my, like, I really couldn't be happier. Yeah. And I am ready to take that into the next year with myself. And I give you a lot of credit because it, not to like dissect it too much, but it's been great watching this version of you because this is the best version of you.

Starting point is 00:19:39 No, I do. I do. You were like, I love watching this version of you. And I appreciate that. And I think everybody in my life also feels that way as well, which is very nice. I was going to bring something up, but I don't want to put my aunt on the spot. How many family members can we throw under the bus on this episode? I really, I really can't.

Starting point is 00:21:59 And we're very excited to celebrate 29. Yeah, I'm very excited to go into this next year. And, you know, very exciting things to come for us. And I'm excited for, I think it's just I'm looking back and talking. about in a way because this is the last year in my 20s. Like that is wild when you think about it. I know a birthday is just a birthday and it happens every year.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Yeah, but this one like you really say goodbye to your 20s. And that's a big one. And your 20s really are such a informative decade and maybe and maybe because, you know, I can't speak to the ones coming up because
Starting point is 00:22:38 I've just started my 30s. But I feel like your 20s are there's so many ups and downs. I'd like to think going forward because it does feel like when you speak to older women, you know, each decade they're like, oh, I loved my 30s. Oh, I loved my 40s. It's just like you
Starting point is 00:23:01 really become more securing yourself and all these things. And your 20s is really the one where you're still kind of like, I don't know who the fuck I am, you know? Yeah. So there's a lot of ups and downs and highs, lows, I feel like more so, in terms of like discovering yourself, of course, you can always have highs and lows in different decades and you don't know what's, you don't know what's to come.
Starting point is 00:23:29 For sure. But just in terms of like becoming you as a person and like who you are and where, what your values are and who you want to be, all those things. Twenties really build you into that. and then you sort of get to, like, expand on that in your 30s and, like, become more confident in it in your 30s. So it is, it's a big chapter to close your 20s.
Starting point is 00:23:55 And I'm very excited about all of that, everything you mentioned there, because I do feel like this past year, I actually really have been trying to be fully myself. Like, kind of less of the back and forth of, like, this or that. You get what I'm saying? Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Like even on this show, like, you know, not being afraid to say how I feel about something, right? And it's like, well, that's how I feel. So I'm going to say it. And like that kind of goes into just like who you are as a person as well. And so yeah, I'm just, I'm very, I'm feeling extremely grateful. I'm very exciting, very excited for the year. I'm feeling extremely blessed. I really am. Like I, not to get like really sentimental and sappy.
Starting point is 00:24:41 But I truly feel so thankful for the position we're in, the job that we have, the way we're able to make people feel, you know, make people laugh, smile. Even last week when we talked about the body image stuff, people message saying they were even brought to tears. Like just being able to connect and even on the show and our listeners. It's such a privilege.
Starting point is 00:25:06 It really is. It really is such a privilege, especially, you know, with people, there's a lot going on in the world. and people dealing with different things. And just to being able to acknowledge that and feeling extremely blessed, I can't go without saying that. That I am very thankful for our listeners
Starting point is 00:25:21 for giving us this life and letting us be able to entertain you guys because it is my greatest pleasure. If there's one thing that Maria loves, it is entertaining people. Yep, absolutely. To my core. I love entertaining.
Starting point is 00:25:40 I love it. So know any words of wisdom for our pal here on her 29th birthday? Just soak it in. Prepare for that 30 before 30 list. No, I think that I, I think you think a lot about being the last year of your 20s and then the second you turn 30, you never think about it again. Yeah. I love that. That's just life.
Starting point is 00:26:05 It's just like you think about something that happens and then you never think about it again. Yeah, that is true. Right. You build up all this stuff in your head. You're like trying to savor it when in reality nothing changes. You're right, you're just 30. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:18 But this is, it's, you know, a big week. There's a, Mercury's out of retrograde. Oh, gosh. Thank God. And not to bring up weather, but we're getting a fantastic, Franny's forecast is going to be a fantastic weekend. It is. The weather calls for.

The sun is shining. Yeah, it does. It looks like it's going to be some fantastic weather. Yeah, it's a 10 out of a 10 day in New York City today. I love New York Metro weather. Mercury is out of retrograde. Today is my mother-in-law's birthday. Oh my God. July 23rd. Happy birthday, Lisa. Yes. So, I wish I knew that when I saw her on Sunday. People's birthdays. It wasn't a birthday on Sunday. I know.
Starting point is 00:27:03 It's not your birthday today. Actually, your mom messaged me happy birthday on Sunday. And I said... On Sunday? She goes, I think it's your birthday question mark. Happy birthday. I said, you know... It's next Sunday, but thank you so much. We live and let live.
Starting point is 00:27:21 You know? Like, I appreciate that effort. Yes, I do. Because she definitely doesn't know when all the birthdays are. She messaged me from the Mio account. Yes, she... And then your brother texted me and said, I need you to know that if you ever get a message from Mio, it's my mom.
Starting point is 00:27:37 It's my mom. Yeah, correct. he unfortunately has to deal with that often he is constantly like mom please switch to your personal before messaging people from the brand account with the Murray account so they'll message people from Murray are we to talk about Murray
Starting point is 00:27:52 I always got messages from Murray Murray hitting 100,000 followers Murray hit 100,000 followers it is that is crazy he's got so much more club and on the topic of Murray hitting 100,000 followers are we going to talk about your big bumble event tonight? Yeah yeah we're going to talk about that too
Starting point is 00:28:08 Can I just say though really quickly just because Murray, just going to bring up Murray and it made me think of dogs. Muddy Paws is doing their big pack challenge right now. It's like they are fundraising for the year. This is where they really are able to make and receive their biggest donations that fuel them through the year and are able to fund them rescuing these dogs, saving these dogs. finding them fosters, finding them good homes. And everyone, if you're a part of Muddypaws, like it's a great time to help fundraise for them. I've been doing it.
Starting point is 00:28:48 If you go on my Instagram, it's right there on the little, like, underneath the bios, like the little donation button. If you can, I would love for you to donate. If you can, no pressure, of course. But if you are able, it's such a great cause. And they are such a great rescue that, Ugh, I'm just so happy that they are able to do what they're able to do. It's just, just something to think about.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Definitely. As we move on, because, and I know this is going to be sad for two seconds. I know what you were going to say. I don't, Isabelle, Isabelle, who we've had on the show, obsessed with her, love her. She runs her Simon Sitz account, her dog Simon. She's been through so much. Her book is fantastic. If you haven't read her book, it's just.
Starting point is 00:29:38 It's such a good book. But she's, I've been very open about Simon's health issues and they've only really gotten worse in the last few months. And she's been posting about, you know, their decision to say goodbye to Simon because he's just not, the way he's living is just not a way for a dog to be living. And I could literally break, I've been crying every morning because she posts her videos in the mornings. And every time I open my Instagram and it's like, the first thing and I'm like, uh, instant tears.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Like they just went. They just took Simon on his last hike. Like I'm like, it's just, it breaks, it breaks my heart. Um, but Isabel is such a big,
Starting point is 00:30:21 uh, part of muddy paws as well. So if you also want to donate in Simon's honor, I think that's would be so beautiful. And she has all that up on, up on her page as well. That's just, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:36 just keep her in your thoughts because it's, It's just the saddest thing and having to make that decision is so heartbreaking. So we love you, Isabelle. We're thinking about you. Yes. And I know that was a depressing note for a second. Noah is on his way to Boston for this evening. What a 180.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Big event. Big dating event tonight. A big event. Noah's the face of Bumble if you're trying. I'm a little mad. To be honest, I'm a little mad we didn't bring this up earlier the week because by the time this comes out, we'll have passed. So there are probably my boss and gals listening right now going,
Starting point is 00:31:15 fuck, I would have gone to that. I also realized that when I posted it, I never, like, once wrote Boston or anything. And it's like, no one's watching that whole, like, me trying to speak. Yeah. Well, plenty of people are. Let me tell you, plenty of people did. And if you did not know, there will be an open bar. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Open bar to be had. I'm telling you that the amount of times that I was, like, exhausted. After filming one is serious story. Are you giving us like credit now? Yeah, like a little bit. He texted us and was like, I'm not cut out for this influencer life. Like, I can't do this. I would just almost be there and then fuck up the last word.
Starting point is 00:31:49 You know, we also looked kind of asleep? You thought that looked asleep? Like, you should have seen some of the other takes. Like, I was me like. I was kind of close. I know. Because it's the end of the day, I'm tired. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:02 You know, there's actually nothing worse than like, it's so embarrassing being alone filming one of those videos. The worst. And you fuck up. I thought about like, there might be someone like in the hallway hearing me like say this. No,
Starting point is 00:32:11 and when you fuck up, it's like, oh my fucking. I literally did that. At one point, I just slam my cat. No, it's literally when you can't get it right.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Oh my God. I will tell Matt to leave the room. I'm like, I can't even get into that. I can't. I can't do this in front of you. He's like, what do you mean you can't do is in front of me?
Starting point is 00:32:30 I'm like, I genuinely can't do it in front of you. There was. Yeah, Joe loves to make fun of me. He'll be in the other room and he'll hear me. There was one that I had to do for the, for the Super Bowl a couple years ago for the ping pong thing. And it was Lowe's.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And I had to say Lowe's nose like a million times. And I kept fucking up. And I was in the bedroom trying to do it. And like I'd be like, fuck. And I like end it. And I just hear Joe from the living room go, Lose knows. And I was like, I'm going to kill you.
Starting point is 00:33:04 it's like just so it's so embarrassing it's so embarrassing when you just can't say a simple word I give really so much credit and I know that they're the ones that get made fun of the most but the people that are like in public and can just like whip their phone out and film a video and like talk and like because it's their job they're literally doing their job
Starting point is 00:33:25 right but like that's my hour full time job is not influence I give them so much credit because even like I was walking down the sidewalk and I had to fill myself talking and I was like headed into the office excuse me head it to the office
Starting point is 00:33:40 or I'm like embarrassed I'm gonna knock into somebody it's it's always how many takes do you think it took you Noah I don't even want to say seriously when I deleted that camera roll I was like Jesus Christ
Starting point is 00:33:54 I mean are we in like the tens the 20s the 30s more than that I don't know Because, like, I would cut myself off a lot. Like, it's not like I was finishing, like, a whole, like, I'd be like, when you had to go back and delete, did you have, like, 30 videos to delete?
Starting point is 00:34:11 Plus. Yeah. I know exactly what that's like. Oh, fuck. And then, like, the thing is, I'd watch it back. And that was the best one he got. No, no. I'd watch it back and be like, why do I look so miserable?
Starting point is 00:34:25 Like, I just can't, like, I don't know. I don't know what it was. Like, in real life, your eyes don't look like that. But then I was, at first I'm like, wait. The camera is deceiving. Well, I was like, should I be looking at the lens or should I be looking at my face on thing? So then I switched to like...
Starting point is 00:34:41 Are you really overthinking? But a lot of times when I'm like trying to remember something, I kind of stare into space. And so I've realized I was doing that. I'd just be like staring into nothing. Like, listen, I don't know how many of those I have in my future. You got the video up. You're going to be at this bubble event.
Starting point is 00:34:58 You're being pitched to the people that are going to be there. Yeah. Tommy did ask us. to say something about Noah. What'd you say? I said, and stay with me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Hold on. You don't even remember. No, I know what it is, but I want to say it the right way. He doesn't light up the room when he walks in, but his presence shines by the end. That's what she said over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Yes. You've been workshopping this thought. A little backhanded, but. No, it's not backhanded. it's not backhanded not everyone steps into a room and immediately lights it up like you
Starting point is 00:35:40 thank you no because he doesn't he doesn't get noticed when he walks in yeah listen you might not even know he's there you might not even know he's there for the first two hours exactly what you're trying to say whenever somebody dies
Starting point is 00:35:53 he's not a big personality that's like gonna come into a room and that's great like sometimes I wish I could shut the fuck up and not be like oh my god misattention whore like I it's just built in me I'm just bred that way. But because when somebody dies or everybody dies, everyone's like, oh, my God, they lit up a room.
Starting point is 00:36:11 And they will not be saying that about me. The thing is, it's just not true about everybody. Yeah, it's not. It's not true about everybody. And people throw it out for everybody. And my funeral, Ria's going to be like, he did not light up a room. I'm telling you. But you're missing the point of the quote.
Starting point is 00:36:26 No, no, yes. Immediately when you walk through the door. Immediately when you walk through the door, is it like, this guy's here. No. but by the end your presence has completely shined through and everybody leaves with an impact
Starting point is 00:36:41 from Noah Ives and I think that's a beautiful thing I don't think you automatically have to walk into a room and be the loudest person in the room I don't think that's the case most of the time that person's annoying as fuck okay and sometimes I am that person that's annoying as hell when I walk into a room okay that's the cross you have to bear
Starting point is 00:36:59 yeah leaving an impact quietly is a great thing. A quiet impact. Yeah, it took a little bit to warm up. I'm like yelling at you while also speaking highly of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're a little shy at first. Yeah, yeah, I have to warm up.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yeah, exactly. And like I said, I could be shy too. Yeah. Not in front of you guys, obviously. Not in front of you guys. I'm shy. That's like when the actors say that they were shy growing up. You know, shut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:37:26 But genuinely, I can be when I first meet people. Yeah. No, it's super fair. Not around the people I know and love the most, which is you guys. I could never stop talking. I can't. I can't ever. Especially this weekend.
Starting point is 00:37:39 Oh my God. I hear my own laugh in the back of my fucking head. We were in a house that you're, everything echo, everybody echoed. It's just echoes. Because it's a big house. Hey, although I did say we were playing that game and I didn't even notice that you weren't there. Yeah, that was like a dagger in the heart. Yes, seriously.
Starting point is 00:37:53 The next morning. The most insulting thing you could have said to her. He goes, I didn't even notice you laugh last night. Yeah. I literally felt to, yeah. Fran, I slid down the wall and fell to the guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:38:03 So maybe my price. And you know what, though? Worst thing you could have said. I'll actually take that as like maybe I'm not as loud as I think I am. Right. And so I'll take that as a win. Tommy gave me a prompt of just like one word. He was like, give me one word to describe Noah.
Starting point is 00:38:17 I said reliable. And then I said, dare I say, very reliable. Mm-hmm. So. And that's what we were using. Yeah. Full quote. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Reliable, dare I say, very reliable. Yeah. Yeah. I did throw up because they needed like celebrity. too and I said you know what throwing Noah Khan saying I'm very handsome. Hey yeah why not he's big right now as you should yeah you should have you should sorry nothing like making yourself laugh before you say it out loud you should have included every happy birthday message from from your bar mitzum I think someone said that
Starting point is 00:38:50 you should like imagine if they were on the screen which is like happy birthday Noah dash Britney Spears happy birthday Noah slash Britney Spears come celebrate with me yeah yeah every like word for word what they said yeah yeah they said yeah they said add that Jessica Simpson saying that I built an arc Yeah yeah yeah see these are all quotes that could go up that's so Jessica Simpson Yeah yes these are all quotes that could go up
Starting point is 00:39:12 Sure you're the man You're the man Noah yeah this is a this is a At a bar correct Yeah yeah you're gonna have a great time And we'll and we'll be able to talk about it on Monday Yeah and then I'm headed to the Cape tomorrow so Directly to the Cape nice It's a little pit stop can we to recap
Starting point is 00:39:30 Yeah all right let's get to today's topics. We're going to be talking about Nick and O'Landria breaking up along with some Dumas rumors. Olivia Rodriguez is dating a new, a New York finance, bro. Grace Abrams song, Death Wish confirmed not to be about Taylor Swift, they say. And we got a little more about Amanda and West in the in the city reunion. And we have great game of trivia. So let's get into it. Nair is the award-winning number one hair removal brand. And you can discover sensational fragrances and feel silky, smooth skin for days longer than shaving. That's the best part about Nair.
Starting point is 00:40:05 You shave less and you glow more. It's fast, smooth skin in as little as three minutes, easy to use, and you know how raising razors can cause some nicks or bumps or cuts. That won't happen with Nair. You're not getting any of that. It's blade-free hair removal for all skin types, and it's dermatologist tested. So get ready for pool time and shave less, glow more. Yes, you heard that correctly.
Starting point is 00:40:31 You're going to shave less and glow more. with Nair. Find Nair at all major retailers. So it has been reported that Nick and Alandria have broken up after what seems to be almost exactly one year from Love Island. And now, right as a new cast has emerged into the world, they have announced their split. Right. And recently, O'Landria was talking about this publicly being like, I don't understand why people need to know about me and Nick's relationship. Which people were confused by because they were like, well, they did fall in love with you as a couple on a dating show. A little bit of a frustrating quote because it was like, it's weird that people care so much about the relationship.
Starting point is 00:41:21 But is it because that's how we were all introduced to them? The quote was, why does it matter of me and Nick are together? Why are you so invested in people that don't, that you don't know you? That part creeps me out. I'm not living for the internet. I understand to some extent. But I also think that there is a bit of having to acknowledge that this relationship stemmed from a dating show that the world watched. And the whole point of that and the platform that you've now been given is from a dating show where you were in a relationship.
Starting point is 00:41:54 So people are going to care about that relationship. Exactly. And so many people fell in love with them. as a couple. Yeah. And so immediately when that quote got out, everyone was like, interesting. It kind of feels like they're not together because why would she say who care, like, why do people care for together?
Starting point is 00:42:15 Because if you were together, then I think you would just feel like we're together. For sure. And I feel like there's been like some rumblings and we've seen, we've seen them together plenty. but they have they definitely were not like an overly public couple that makes sense you know what I'm saying like they weren't like posting other nonstop all those things they were living their own lives and they was connected and that's that's totally totally fine but the rumors has been that have been that maybe like a little rocky the last few months blah blah blah I saw doom walk comment something like you know if you think that they broke up two days ago.
Starting point is 00:42:58 That's silly. Right. Well, Dumas posted some rumors back from Coachella and April that Nick was spotted with somebody else. Yeah, holding hands. They also posted rumors that Alandria has been seeing Travis Scott. Yeah, now she, Alandria denied the rumor. Well, I think Alandria may have commented on the post,
Starting point is 00:43:17 but then blocked Dumas, so now the post is gone. Dumas wrote, this is just a rumor before anyone flips, flips out. That was like right when she posted it. And then she just posted an update. Elandria denied question mark this rumor but blocked this account so her comment which was pinned was not showing it was from her. So she's pinning, so she pinned her own comment.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Right. So I guess she's putting those rumors to rest as well. But yeah, I think that they must have broken up a while ago and I don't think that it happened just like this past week. I think that maybe they hadn't been together for a little bit now. Yeah. Because those Coachella rumors paired with O'Anjia talking about like, who cares if we're together. I think that there's also probably a part of them that like maybe if they broke up a while ago,
Starting point is 00:44:07 they didn't want to let the people down that like fell in love with them as a couple. And they were like, oh, shit, how are we going to let people know that we broke up as a couple? Yeah. there's just so there's so much fan love for them as a couple as individuals they they're really like at the tippity top of the love island pyramid it seems like no matter like elandria's a landrya stands go hard um and now i don't know if we're like if we're like uh what's the sponge bob meme or the brains all the Spongeball, all the files are on fire and everybody's running around.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Like, what's the next move? Right, they're like, do what happened between the two of them? Yeah. What's the next move? Mm-hmm. Where do we go? But they will obviously support Elandria always.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Right, and I feel like, whatever she wants to do. She's one of the most stunning human beings to walk this earth. She's been absolutely crushing it career-wise. Yeah. She's making the right moves. She is being seen at all the right events.
Starting point is 00:45:16 all the right parties, doing all the things. I feel like we're going to see her in a movie or something. You know, I could see her maybe going that route. Big fashion campaign. Yes, yes. Nick seems to be linking up with Bryce for some, maybe some gigs. Yeah, some DJ festivities. Some gigs.
Starting point is 00:45:34 And. You think Ace is silently somewhere like, I told you. I don't know. I don't know. What is Ace even up to these days? I don't know. I feel like I haven't seen Acey last year. I haven't seen any of his stuff.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Is he like I'm active on social media? Is he still making songs? I feel like we would see them, no? Those were, some of those were bangers when he first put them out. Yeah, there was one that was like actually really catchy. Now I'm forgetting it. Oh, cocky. That one, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Oh, you know what too? Because I feel like he, because he like didn't do, because they didn't do the show. The Love Island after the villa? Beyond the Villa that it's like those people I feel like stayed in the mix a lot Does he not have an Instagram? For good or bad.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Do he delete his social media? No way. No. Ace would never delete his social media. Are Ace? I cannot foresee Ace. Like I search Ace Green, nothing comes up. What's the real Ace Green?
Starting point is 00:46:38 Excuse me. He doesn't want to be the fake Ace Green. He's the real Ace Green. But he's like, Let's see. He's like shadow band or something. Oh, there he is. Wow, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:46:50 That took me way, like, that should not, sorry, that should not be how Instagram works. Like, I should type in A screen and his account should show up. No, it's actually interesting. Like, that just didn't show up. Yeah, you can type in people's names that are very popular and it, like, won't show up at the top now. It's very confusing. What's the deal with that? There's no reason A screen is going to be the first thing to come up.
Starting point is 00:47:09 He's still doing those TikTok things where he's like teaching random people how to dance. As he should. Oh, he was at, he was a couple of movie premieres. Yeah, he's still making songs. Here he is riding horses with, uh, Taylor. With Taylor and Clark. Taylor is recovered from his horse riding injury. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Mm-hmm. Yes. Well, Taylor and Clark are the, oh, no, I was going to say last standing couple, not true because T.J. and Iris. Except they didn't leave together. Yeah, but I guess that's like kind of a technicality, right? Right. It's like they didn't, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:44 So the only couple that left together that's still together. Yeah. Yeah. I believe so. I will say, and this was a love. Clark. Yeah, this was a love island thought that I had yesterday was because I was watching UK and I watched an after sun episode, maybe for the first time ever. I don't know if I've, I've watched them before other past seasons, but I don't think I've watched it before.
Starting point is 00:48:12 but I don't think I've watched recently. The difference in the discourse around UK and US is really so crazy because with the US, everyone is so nervous to give their opinions on this show because the fans are nuts. And I think, like, Tephy and Sierra really had to deal with that. Like, there was a lot of times that they would maybe give an opinion, then they had to jump on threads or defending themselves
Starting point is 00:48:44 or it's like it's either you don't give an opinion or to give too much of opinion. There's like there was no winning. I'm watching this episode of UK Afterson. It's Shakira, Casey, Tyreek, and they're fucking letting it fly. Like they're like, oh please this person doesn't give a shit about their partner. They're like, oh, who cares?
Starting point is 00:49:04 They're like, they're breaking up in two weeks after the show ends. They're just in it for the money. They're making fun of Casey for winning. All-stars. They're like, this guy's trying to, This guy's trying to coast just like Casey did. Like they're like, you know what I'm saying? Like they're laughing about it.
Starting point is 00:49:17 They're talking about it like it is a TV show, which it is. Mm-hmm. And I was like, this is so refreshing. It is. Because think about that it kind of has gone in a circle a bit because the discourse around UK was really bad. Yeah. For a little bit. And it still is.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Like they still go so hard against the people. that they don't like. I think right now Mika is getting like a lot of online hate, which I think is fairly unwarranted. Like, because once again, there's perspective on it. I'm like, she's a 21-year-old girl. It's, it's, yeah, maybe she, like, made a couple mistakes in there. But I always go off how the other Islanders treat that person.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Like, it's, yeah, she may have made a couple mistakes, but the girls have forgiven her. Like, they're all okay, and they all seem really, close. So shouldn't we take that as a as a hint to like how we're all feeling because it's not like oh she fucked up so bad that the girls are like we're going to keep her at arm's length.
Starting point is 00:50:22 And then maybe I'd understand then the public having that opinion. But they go really hard and then that's like where is the line? Because then they go really hard and it's like on after sudden they're like oh you know Mika doesn't really like him she's just fucking coasting.
Starting point is 00:50:41 Sam Rogers, Way More Invested, like all these things. But they really, their opinions on the show, like, they're just, they're saying them. And they're not trying to, like, comfort the people as individuals. They're just watching the show, like, as a TV show. Right. And a reality show. And the fact that people do want to get to the final. Like, they were laughing at Aiden and, I won't say, just for spoil our purposes.
Starting point is 00:51:10 Okay. Well, they were laughing. at like Aiden and Priya that the fact that it's like coming down to the end and like now all of a sudden they're like oh we really like each other and they're on the show and they said they said um said like the final out loud it's like oh who do you want to be in the final with kind of thing like they said that all miced up and it was funny because on after son Casey was like yeah you talk about that but you talk about it at lunch and dinner when when there's no cameras and you're not miced up like you don't say it on camera So it's just interesting the way that they talk about the show versus how we do and how hard it is for the U.S. host of AfterS. to try and give an opinion and not get absolutely destroyed online for an opinion that they're having on a reality TV show. It has been-Tephy and Sierra had to like multiple times be like, guys, like we're also talking for hours and it's getting cut. down. Some of these things, like you're not hearing every single thing that we say, like, you're really coming at us hard for this. And people were treated them like they were journalists and not, like, commentators on the show. Yeah. And they were like, you guys shouldn't
Starting point is 00:52:24 be giving your opinion. And it's like, no, well, they're there to give their opinion. No, that's the point of the show is it. And it makes, yeah, watching the show way less fun. Yeah. It's not as exciting. After Sun is meant to give your opinion because it's like, if it's just a recap show, we don't need that. We all watched. Right. We watched every episode. Exactly. You don't need, Like, be like, and then this happened and then you watch a clip. And then this happened and then you watch it. We watched it all happen. We, I want to hear Sierra and Taffy's opinions on the couples.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Yeah, it's made watching the show kind of miserable at times. It definitely has. And I think that's just why I've gone so, like, so hard with UK this season, especially. And then I was watching that. And I was like, oh, my God. Now, I think that's why I kind of fell out of watching US this year, too. Because I was like the, I wanted to block out the discussion just so I could watch and really have like my thoughts about it.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Yeah. I actually felt about the show. That's definitely a cultural thing like where. Granted, I'm also like not locked into UK social media, you know? So it's like I'm seeing the comments and the commentary so much more for Love Island US than I am for Love Island UK. Like I'm watching like it's so nice to watch Love Island UK because it feels like I am just watching a TV show and yes, I'm talking about it and I can see posts and things and TikToks
Starting point is 00:53:37 about it. But I'm, my algorithm is not as locked in to Love Island UK. as it would be if I was in the UK and you're seeing like a billion TikToks and people giving their opinions and their thoughts and all those things and maybe they are coming maybe they are coming for people
Starting point is 00:53:50 in their opinions and this, that, the other thing, I don't see it as much. That's just like social media now in general though I feel like it, whether it's politics or whatever it is, it's like, whoever your guy is or like
Starting point is 00:54:01 whoever you like, they can do no wrong. Like, and if anyone comes for them, like, you go off. It's, it definitely is crazy. And I feel like it has, has transformed like the discourse around Love Island, USA, a lot. Because you watch it and you have an opinion and then people are like afraid to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:54:23 So it's kind of a crazy thing. But UK is, you know, rapping pretty soon. So yeah, I think maybe this week. You could talk about all your thoughts. Yeah, yeah. Because I just not gonna happen. I don't think there's any way I can catch up at this point. I think I'm too far behind.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Yeah, yeah. Moving on, Olivia Rodriguez has been seen out with a New York finance row. Yeah. Seems to be her new boo. Yeah. And they are sort of, it's funny because like the first thing was who is this guy? How did they meet? He's a Wall Street power player.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Olivia Rodriguez sports day. Dating members with finance professional Julian Kroonbergs. Koonenbergs? That's going to be my guess. I had to say it with a little, it's a long last name. The 23-year-old singer have not publicly confirmed a relationship. They've been photographed several times. He's a New York private equity professional.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Images that circulated on July 20th appeared to show the pair at an airport while traveling from Iceland to New York. Oh, perhaps a little getaway. I got to be honest, that sounds like my absolute nightmare. A New York private equity, whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, my God. God, that sounds like a nightmare. I don't know, maybe.
Starting point is 00:55:45 It's interesting because the airport images, they just said they were walking through the terminal after a reported Iceland trip. Members of Rodriguez team were also said to be traveling with them. I don't even know, like, how do they even identify this guy is what I'm curious about? You know, it's like, how do we even know this guy is? Wait, is that the Wall Street Power Player? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Fans subsequently identified the man as Kronenberg's connecting. the photographs to earlier images and eyewitness reports from New York. Like I know I'm kind of just like generalizing here, but you just when you hear that, you just like imagine the kind of person you're getting into a conversation with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, just like, oh, it sounds like my fucking nightmare. I liked her with Cameron from Geese.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Yeah, yeah. Well, it's just like. Or Louis Parts. Right, right. And look, I can't, I can't go too hard on the, on that because, you know my husband is in that world so okay I forgot you know and all a lot of his friends are and I love he's an outlier yeah yeah he's not in private he's not in private equity that's all that is a that is a different world he's not a Wall Street power player yeah excuse me has he been described as a
Starting point is 00:57:02 Wall Street power player by the way they're just making that up also like how can be a power player when you're that young that's what I'm saying they're just making this like they're just making this shit up because he's probably in his early 20s. I hope there was no offense to Joe there. He's 100%. Hey, it's almost a compliment that I don't see Joe. Yeah, you don't even remember. In that in that bro-y finance way.
Starting point is 00:57:25 This guy's definitely 100% of like a Nepo kid who has like an internship for his dad's company or something. I don't know. Or he's some prodigy who's the next Jordan Belford. I don't know. Well, or he's just like a normal fucking dude that lives in Brooklyn and Jesso happened to meet Olivia. Rodriguez. I don't know what. That would be crazy, but
Starting point is 00:57:43 how do you just so happen? Oh, hey. Oh my God, you can see his whole like bio on the, on it, where he works. Where does he work? LinkedIn on his LinkedIn. HG Capital. He joined HG in 2024 from Goldman Sachs, where he worked on the financial institutions investment banking team in New York. He received his bachelor's in applied mathematics and
Starting point is 00:58:08 computer science from from Brown. Okay, one of my best friends worked at Goldman Sachs. Okay, well, yeah, I mean, I don't know you're saying. The machine is bad. Yeah, we're generalizing here.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Like, I just, I'm not the kind of person who wants to get into a conversation talking about all of that. No, no, no, no. What's your portfolio if you like? Right. So what's your portfolio?
Starting point is 00:58:35 Yeah, like, I know that there's stuff I have to do, you know, that I take care of in my personal. Anyone who's in that world listening is going to really hate me. She wanted to date a normal boy, allegedly. Here's the thing. I'm just imagining going on a first date with someone.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Once again, I'm generalizing. I just picture them talking the whole time about their investment portfolio. They really don't do that. No, not everyone does. But there are guys like that do exist. I'd say more so, there are more of them than not. in that field. They exist and they think
Starting point is 00:59:12 they are quite important. They definitely exist. I've seen it out in the wild. Absolutely. But that's a generalization once again and not all are like that. Yes. Not Joe Riley. Maybe not this guy either. We don't know. Yeah, maybe not him either.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Who, yeah, who knows? And I did see like it being pointed out that sort of Olivia has a bit of like a fuck the man type vibe And like This is the man
Starting point is 00:59:44 Yeah This is a Wall Street guy Like that is that is the man Right If I was spotted out on the street With an A list celebrity or whatever I would hope they'd be like Podcast Power Player
Starting point is 00:59:55 Yeah and then they go Oh my God Imagine sitting out on a date With a podcast producer New York Magazine By the way Saying podcast producer Like it sounds like
Starting point is 01:00:05 I would much rather be called A Wall Street Power player Right exactly Like the thing is We're making of something that, by the way, when we introduce ourselves and say podcast host, I understand what that comes across us. I think if Olivia was spotted out with a podcast producer, her career would be over. This guy's also like, my guess is bottom of the barrel. You know, I think this kid
Starting point is 01:00:25 graduated college at three years ago. What do you introduce yourself out is when someone says like, what do you do for a living? Producer. Producer, you don't say podcast. And then if they push, then I say, oh, video producer, aware, media company, oh, where bar stool? You ever hear of bars still? Oh, yeah, what podcast. Chicks in the office. Well, I say, oh, it's like a pop culture podcast. Oh, like what? Wow, they got to ask a lot. They got to ask eight questions to get to chicks in the office?
Starting point is 01:00:47 I don't like to assume that people know what these things are. I do the same thing. I don't, maybe I don't go that long. Right. I say, oh, it's a, I host a pop culture podcast. It's called chicks in the office. I don't make them then ask for the name. If it's like a guy or if it's guys who are like barstool, like who I could tell.
Starting point is 01:01:07 They're profiling just from the. way they look. Yeah, or if it's just guys in general, I would like a Wall Street Power Player. It's a Wall Street Power Player and they're like, what podcast, bro? Like, what are you working on? I'm like, you know the one with the two girls? What? You know, the one with those two chicks?
Starting point is 01:01:24 Those two broads? Yeah, we're for those two bitchy broads. That's so funny. Don't you just wish they would get back in the kitchen? Kill me, dude. Sometimes I just want them to make me a sand. sandwich. He was a field hockey player.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Sorry, I'm so lot. I was locked into this. So on the side. Oh my God, he plays the field hockey. Sorry, that just like really threw me off. Why is that, oh, a guy played field hockey and then he played field hockey. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 01:01:55 He played field hockey and then his big, went to Wall Street. I didn't even know men. He played for the U.S. men's national field hockey team between 2018 and 2020. No, that men played field hockey club. He also trained with the Greenwich Field Hockey Club. Greenwich Field Hockey Club. Oh, this guy's exactly who he thinks of it is.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I take it back. You hear the word Greenwich? Yeah. And forget it. It's all out of the window now. Oh my God. His parents' house is like 100 acres.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Ridiculous. The Greenwich Field Hockey Club. This is like a rom-com in real life. Like, someone's going to have to save Olivia from this guy. Oh, it's based in New York. Oh, it's based in New York City? Welcome to Greenwich Field Hockey Club. Based in New York City.
Starting point is 01:02:38 We're the biggest adult field hockey club. the United States. They're the biggest field hockey club in the United States. First of all. But I'm just saying he participated in this like I think as living in New York. Something about playing field hockey as a grown man like just makes me think you're like so wealthy. I don't know why. But like who does that? I play picko basketball. Yeah. You know what I was I was thinking about last night? I didn't realize that that was a thing to be honest.
Starting point is 01:03:02 I don't know men played field hockey at all. Well, they do. But I'm moving occupations for a second. Yeah. I was so excited. Last week when I got my Fruit of the Loom package, it was filled with all new sports bras, extremely comfortable sweatpants, wide leg sweatpants, which are my favorite. I was obsessed with everything in my package. And you guys can be too, because from colorful teas to cozy sweats and trusted underwear, Fruit of the Loom has earned its reputation through consistency, comfort, and everyday ease.

So go ahead, shop now and enjoy one less thing to think about. Something I was thinking about last night. And now I have a ton of construction workers
Starting point is 01:04:32 in my family. So this is just conversation. I'm looking at some new builds being built in Jersey City. Like there's a lot of new buildings. And I'm imagining, I'm like, wow, it is crazy. Like they're just building this from the ground up. They're showing up on site building us. I'm like imagining like my brother-in-law like showing up in a bad mood one day. And I'm like, and he's like, oh, I gotta fucking build this building. And I'm like, you can you think about that? Like there are people who are building buildings. Yeah. Infrastructure that may be showing up like in a bad mood one day. And then you got buildings in Manhattan that are crumbling or about to crumble because they fucked up. And like, you know, like he worked on, uh,
Starting point is 01:05:13 the new Bill Stadium. And I'm like, what if one day he showed up in a bad mood? What about being a doctor? You show up in a bad mood. Like, that's what I think about. Right. But there's so many different ways. I don't really have to do anything.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Like, edit a podcast, but like these people have people's hearts in their hands. Right. Exactly. It's like, and they have to, they have people's lives in their hands. Yeah. We show up in a bad mood and we're just like, oh, we got to talk. You know? We got to talk about love.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Right, like it's so simple. It's so fucking simple. These people, there's so many occupations out there. There's putting people's lives at risk. Have you ever seen that TikTok doctor guy? I mean, I'm sure there are many TikTok doctors, but this guy's like he's a surgeon, like, I think brain surgeon or something.
Starting point is 01:06:05 But he's always like just got out of search. Or it's like he's like 3 a.m. I'm headed to the, like I just got called. And it's always, he's always so happy. And I'm like, how? I've never seen that. Once you guys see this guy, he'll pop up. He does talk about it.
Starting point is 01:06:18 He's very interesting. I just took like a quick click into a Reddit thread. Oh. The Olivia Rodriguez fans are not happy about this. We shouldn't be. I would consider myself
Starting point is 01:06:33 to Livy or a Rydivogian. No, no, but it's like, it's like... I'm also a Livia Roderinoa fan. But it's to level like how could she ever possibly date like an evil Wall Street man. Well, we don't know that about anything about him.
Starting point is 01:06:48 I know, I know. You know, that's like, there's like, there's like one person trying to defend him, but the rest is like, they're, they're furious at her that she would even entertain, like, dating someone that once worked at Goldman Sachs. Something about Goldman Sachs.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Like, something about that name. It's just the name. I don't actually even know, like, what goes on there. But the name is just like an evil name. Listen to this comment. If this guy volunteered at animal shelters in his free time or made massive donations to plan parent or the like, that's the PR we'd be seeing about him right now.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Instead, we're getting stories like, isn't it nice he'll pay for a date? Which is concerning if that's the best PR her team can come up with. I mean, I don't know. You don't know. No, I'm saying this is nuts. I know, I know. You don't know every detail of what people donate to or what, you know?
Starting point is 01:07:37 We don't know this guy at all. It's not always advertised. And this has been out for a day. Like his name has been in the press for a day Right, right. Well, for him to even be in the same circles To meet Olivia, how'd we go? Though he has to be a power player.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Like, no, no random intern. I can't hear the name power player. No random intern is just like, like, he has to be like, he knows somebody. This is, yeah. What? Well, that's your fault for going on a right at the time. No, I know.
Starting point is 01:08:02 I wish I wasn't the first thing I clicked. And I normally like never do because it's not like the real world. But that, yeah, it's nuts. I imagine yeah I guess because you know Olivia's been very vocal about her
Starting point is 01:08:17 passions and what she feels strongly about and this that the other thing she's and she stands up for what she believes in which is always very good she's always you know especially like at her concerts yeah donates to a lot of great causes
Starting point is 01:08:33 and that money's going to Goldman Sachs but it's just like it's like she's going to get she's so young and it's so crazy that a guy that she's dating, it's just going to get torn apart from every angle. We don't know anything about this guy.
Starting point is 01:08:51 We don't know anything about him. Everyone's just assuming his beliefs and whatnot. Yeah. So. Well, Julian, good luck. I don't know if they'll be able to withstand this kind of heat. I don't even know if it's a serious thing. Maybe it's just a little summer flight.
Starting point is 01:09:06 Like they were seen having dinner in like Brooklyn, I think. And then there's this, maybe this Iceland trip. Maybe he's working on her investment portfolio. Maybe he is. Maybe he is. Maybe he's just helping her invest. I really am curious though as to how these two even meet.
Starting point is 01:09:22 You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm saying? Like, in what? You think this guy's just coming up, walking up to her, like in a coffee shop or something? Do you think he's that crazy that a rich kid in New York City would be in the same circles? Like they're at zero bond. Like they're at some point? Kind of.
Starting point is 01:09:37 No, rich kids in New York City. His dad knows someone in the music and. And I'm talking like extremely rich kids in New York City. Yeah. Have so much access. We don't know how rich he is. I don't know, but I'm assuming. I'm just assuming that his family.
Starting point is 01:09:51 Okay, well then let's just assume. Like the other people, like us that all asses because we're all assuming. But I assume somebody that he knows is connected in some way. And that's how he got to meeting. Right, right, right. Maybe some sort of apartment party. Right. Like these New York City.
Starting point is 01:10:10 kids in their apartment parties. Why do I just like don't feel like Olivia Rodriguez is out like that? Is that stupid? She is in the... No, I know she is, but I'm just like, you just never see her. Olivia Rodriguez dated Zach Bia. Oh my God, I forgot about that. Good point. You know, like...
Starting point is 01:10:25 Come on. Tough guys for Olivia. Like, she dated Zach Bia. Yeah, fair. Fair, fair, fair. So, yep, yep, yep, yep. It's not that crazy. I feel like he's been pretty quiet. I haven't heard that name
Starting point is 01:10:40 in ages. Right? I wonder, like, her team must have her on lockdown, too. I wonder how they deal with all those. Seriously. That is a name we haven't heard in forever. Spinneys. I just imagine her team is, like, kind of nuts to keep her image squeaky. I had followed him because I was like, oh, this guy's, like, friends with Drake and, like, and then I'm like, what does this guy do?
Starting point is 01:10:59 Why am I following? I just had, like, a... Isn't Zabia's birthday coming out? Can't say I know. No, because it was an ongoing joke between me and Joe years ago about Zach Bia's birthday. Let's see. Yes. Oh, it just passed. Oh, we just missed it. June 9th. He has the same birthday as Stasi baby, I believe. Yeah. It was an, the only reason I know this is because it was an ongoing joke. It was, but now I don't remember the whole joke. I don't know. I don't, you know, this was years, like, I'm
Starting point is 01:11:32 literally talking about maybe like six years ago. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That we were like, happy birthday, Zach Bia. Yeah. Damn. Yeah. Time flies. All right, moving on, Gracie Abrams's song, a new song on her album, Death Wish. There were rumors that it was about Taylor Swift. Kelly Teller had posted it to her story. People like, ooh, this is shade of Taylor Swift. That is not the case. Yeah, it's been, so this has been a, been a conversation for a while because she,
Starting point is 01:11:59 Gracie has been singing Death Wish for a while. Like it's something that she would sing in concert. It wasn't officially out, but it was like, you know, here's, here's, there's a song, Death Wish. And when you, when the album came out and you read the lyrics, you were like, people were like, oh, oh, oh, is this about Taylor, which just felt like it would have been a really strong statement if that was the case. You know, like it's, there's some piercing lyrics.
Starting point is 01:12:44 I'm gonna read the lyrics. Piercing lyrics in this song. No, she was at her wedding. She was at the wedding, so that's, but that's what I'm saying. That's why I don't know. Like, I think people try to, like, really hold on to, like, songs that are about Taylor, feuds or anything like that.
Starting point is 01:13:03 There's a couple in here that's like, but how'd you get so bulletproof? You trade your time for inside truths. Trade your time for any clue of what to do or not to do. Hate to say it's nothing new aside from those few, girls, you keep around. How will it end? How long will you give me till you twist the knife with a smile while you
Starting point is 01:13:20 kill me? And then you asked me to dance if there's someone around. You don't look the same when I look at you now. Interesting. I'm reading the lyrics and I'm like, ooh, who is this about it? Well, I know. When you read it in the lens of that of Taylor, you're like, oh God. Like you'd be like, whoa. I felt for your faux fantasy. You poured the
Starting point is 01:13:39 wine. There's poison in it. Yeah. Ooh. Yeah. It's, it's you'd be like, oh, fuck. Your eggshell floor is splintering now. Which makes me think that like Kelly Teller heard that song And like she decided to make it about Taylor Swift Just like any of us listen to a song to decide It's about some person in our lives in her head
Starting point is 01:13:58 But she really fed into that She used it multiple times But Aaron Destiner producer produced this album Has worked with Taylor Swift a ton Was interviewed by Billboard And they asked him, you know Is death wish about Taylor Swift? And he said definitely not
Starting point is 01:14:14 It was ran at a time when Gracie was writing about a friend's being in a bad relationship. It was kind of about that person, I think. I wouldn't even actually know who that person was. And Gracie herself has said multiple times what this song is about. And like in concert, she'd be like, this is my, this is death wish. It's a song about a friend with a bad, like a friend with a bad ex just to, that's a bad summary.
Starting point is 01:14:42 That's not word for word what she said, but something along those lines. So it's like, it's come out of her own mouth. being like, this is what the song is. And people still, all when this, like, on TikTok, everything, when the album came out being like, I think the song's about Tyler Swift. Which is crazy considering, yes,
Starting point is 01:15:00 she was literally just at her wedding. I think it would be pretty nuts to have written a song that you sung multiple times already in public that, and it's like it would be about her and then you would want to go to that wedding. Yeah, that's like sub-tweeting somebody and then hang out with them the same day.
Starting point is 01:15:15 And it's not even just like hanging out with them. as being at their wedding, like the biggest day of that person's life. Yeah, like that's insane. Yeah, so I think that kind of spiraled out of control a bit. I don't think Gracie and Taylor have any issues. I feel like because there are certain people that it's like, well, I mean, we know Olivia and Taylor don't interact.
Starting point is 01:15:40 So it's like then you see Gracie and Olivia interacting and they support each other and their music. So people like to just kind of jump to conclusions, which is hard to do also because it's like you can be friends with two people that that may not get along. It's not like they're all in the same room often
Starting point is 01:15:59 and you have to be like, you gotta pick which side to go to. But then Olivia Rodriguez also said that her favorite song off the album was Death Wish. So then everyone was like, that just also was like, like, cool to the fire. More will save this.
Starting point is 01:16:17 though, I will say this about that situation. About, yes, you could be friendly, I think, or civil with somebody who is maybe not friends with your friend. Yeah. But if somebody really did your friend wrong. Yeah. Like one of your best friends.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Kind of looking at you a little sideways if you're still like, if somebody really, yeah. If they just like don't mess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Different story. Totally different story. That's like, all right,
Starting point is 01:16:50 these two people's personalities like don't really mesh. Yeah. Okay. But if somebody really does your friend dirty and like somebody continues to be friends, it's like, mm.
Starting point is 01:17:00 I agree, but you know what the example that I always think of and I give her a lot of credit for being able to manage. It's Gigi Hadid and. Oh, no. I was actually going to say,
Starting point is 01:17:09 yes, that is a good one too. Yeah. But I was going to say Paige with Amanda and Hannah. like you know like Amanda and Hannah really don't fuck with each other and now obviously Paige and Amanda are not it's like that this is no longer an issue that Paige I think has to deal with but for many years she did yes that is and and like seemed to handle it pretty well and like the both both girls like understood that Paige was friends with the other one yeah that's a good point I think a lot of what Han it was like a lot of Kyle yes So maybe not. For sure, but it was like, you know, that's her.
Starting point is 01:17:49 At the time, it's like her husband. And she was. Right. Not sticking up for her at all. No, no. Yeah, that's, I guess that's a good. Yeah. But they were also like on a TV show together.
Starting point is 01:17:58 So maybe just for the sake of time. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't like Hannah fucked with Paige. I mean, with Amanda. No, no. I guess maybe it's situational. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Depends on what the thing is maybe. For sure. For sure. That is very, that is very true. But, yeah, this one, this was one that. And Hollywood's a different thing because they're, you're showing face with someone. That's like such a real life example more so. It's like, it's good optics for all these ladies to support each other.
Starting point is 01:18:34 For sure. Besides Olivia and Taylor, which isn't going to happen anytime. No, no. But like Olivia and Gracie supporting each other and being friendly and all these things is. Yeah. Bringing up Amanda and Wes, the in the city part one reunion. aired and really I just want to talk about a quick little tidbit where Andy Cohen asked Amanda if her and West were in love she said that was hard to answer then she was asked if they said I love
Starting point is 01:19:00 you she said not really then I believe Danielle said love you counts and she said illy yeah Ily excuse me at this grown age she's she's lying no by the way Amanda In my opinion. She is stuck at whatever at like 14 years old. Yeah. She is stuck at an age that she should not be.
Starting point is 01:19:26 Because at this grown age, even muttering the words illy out loud feels uncomfortable. I know, but you think she was kind of joking a little bit? No. No, no. I actually don't.
Starting point is 01:19:38 I don't think she's funny like that. I think that she did. Because West is totally the kind of guy that would write Ily. He's totally that kind of guy. Well, I was thinking maybe like maybe But texting it is different than saying in real life. But still, like, my husband has never texted me illy.
Starting point is 01:19:56 No, no, no, no. At this grown age. No. No. I text my best friends, Ili. Yeah, yeah. I.Y. Yeah. I.L.Y.S.m a lot of times. Right. My guess is West throws out a lot of illies as well.
Starting point is 01:20:11 To everybody. He's telling everybody on I think everybody's getting illy via text. So that's, that's definitely different. What's confusing to me is just like I find that she's still kind of lying about it because we watched West talk to Kyle. And it seemed at that point like pretty close to love or like in love for each other. Like the word love was used kind of often. And Wes, so I'm like I feel like she's not really being fully transparent. Also her saying that she was just on beta blockers at the.
Starting point is 01:20:47 lies at the summer house reunion and that she was just like she was just like the way she deals with conflict or trauma or whatever is just like disengaging and that's like what was happening no way no no way she looks sleepy as hell I picture West like picking up his coffee and look at the brisip being like illy like out loud like I think West is the kind of person who is illy out loud I think Wes is the kind of person that says illy out loud and to me that's like the worst kind of person because a man is a man is the kind of person because a man is the kind of person I said, Ily. He totally, he's like,
Starting point is 01:21:20 Illy! He might. Yeah, I can see it. I mean, like, just, I can see it for sure. But you're telling me there's just like, no, I just do not believe that they weren't fucking all loved up on, in Italy. She's spitting olives into his mouth and they're not going to bed being like, I love you.
Starting point is 01:21:42 I doubt. Like, that's, there's no way. By the way, though, like at this point in time, okay, what? they've been doing the shindig since what February it's now July? Well they are monogamous. They're monogamous. This has been going on since February or whatever the fuck. You don't know if they, you don't
Starting point is 01:21:56 you don't know if you're in love? Yeah, yeah. If you're not in love I just think she doesn't want to say it. It's like, you know. Just say it though. That would be better if you just said you were in love. It would be better just to just say it, but I don't know. But then she'll look dumb when this thing ends in like Right.
Starting point is 01:22:13 But then she could be like I truly would kind of stringing her love. It sounds like he is. Like it sounds like he can't even be like I'm, they're not in love with each other. They're just not. They're not. When you're in love with someone, you want to shadow from the rooftops.
Starting point is 01:22:25 These people are not in love with each other. Right. Yeah, there's a lot. Freaking weirdos, I swear, man. They are so weird. I can't. So weird. Oh, man.
