Or you can get the sausage
egg and cheese, little breakfast.
You've got the stuffed mini bagels, lots of deals going on at Duncan.
And we want you guys to experience the great deals that Duncan has to offer because we experience them every morning.
Yeah, I would say, for me personally right now, put me in a sausage.
I cannot say sausage egg and cheese.
You've been saying sausage.
Sausage egg and cheese for some reason, it's like a tongue twister for me.
Sausage.
Sausage egg and cheese.
That is the mood I've been in something
Little but a little ketchup maybe a little salt
Oh
Some pepper. Yum divine
And ketchup is crazy
I like ketchup on my breakfast sandwich
Wait what are you laughing at
Are you laughing at the way that I said he said ketchup
Oh my I hate when people make fun of me for the way I say
I honestly hate when people make fun of other people
I've always said it that way
I know and I'm honestly just in a silly goofy mood because I hate the way
I hate when people make fun of the way people pronounce things.
You try to hold it in, but you wouldn't.
I don't think it sounds that different.
Honestly, I'm not even making fun of you for it.
It sounds different.
I mean, it's different.
I'm not, I was just being annoying.
I was just in a silly, goofy mood.
I personally love my breakfast sandwich, little ketchup, little hot sauce, salt pepper.
Delish.
I love ketchup on mine.
You can get it.
You can get a sausage, egg and cheese for.
For $3 when you add it to your medium or larger coffee at Dunkin, so it's time for that one, two or $3 Dunkin' Run.
Like I said, you do the $1.00 donut, $2 stuffed bagel minis, $3 sausage, egg, and cheese.
This is a limited time offer with the purchase of medium or larger coffee.
Exclusions in terms of supply participation may vary.
So make sure you're getting your Dunkin, your coffee, and your food.
As you can tell, I had a great weekend.
Yes, you did, Franny, with that beautiful voice.
I fucking love Charleston.
My God, you're jacked the fuck up.
I'm fucking jacked up about Charleston.
I'm jacked up about Charleston because you're jacking about Charleston.
I've never been to Charleston.
I'm taking.
But I'm going with you.
You're taking me to Charleston.
I'm acting like I'm an expert on Charles.
You're taking me to Charleston.
I want to go to Charleston bad.
We,
with the way you've been talking about this place.
Like we got the weather was perfect.
Is Charleston your new San Diego?
It might be.
It might be.
I just, it was so, it was so fun.
I have been before, but I was young.
My aunt and uncle got married in Charleston, which now I'm like, dream.
Yeah.
You're like, please.
Holy sign me up.
So nice.
And I was like 12 when that happened.
So I remembered being there, but not really like too much.
But full bachelor party had so much fun.
Great food was just amazing.
great meals.
All the bars were so fun.
Shout out uptown social.
It's a hot spot.
They hooked us up Saturday night
and we had so much fucking fun.
Loved it. Our bartender was amazing.
For some reason we just ended up
with all these bartenders from Philly.
I don't know what happened.
But like Friday we walked into a bar.
I knew you were in town. Friday we walked in the bar, the bartender
looked at me and was like, go birds.
And I was like, fuck yeah, go.
Go birds.
And then at Uptown Social,
I know they lost.
I know, but you know, it's just like a,
it's,
blowback.
He just,
at Uptown Social, I go
up to the bar and it was the same thing.
He was like, oh my God.
Go birds.
I was like, fuck, yeah.
I'm telling you, they knew they were in town.
They said, please give us the shift.
Yeah.
Where Francesca Mariano's going.
Yep, yep.
Yeah, it was just.
That sounds like a blast.
So we went to Saltwater,
Boys on Saturday, which was on the water in Shem Creek, DJ playing.
That sounds like an amazing time.
You know, like literally my dream day.
It was like outside, I got a frose that was absolutely phenomenal.
Warm weather.
DJ's playing.
Everybody's dancing.
Then we sat down and had lunch, fried pickles.
Mm.
So good.
Oh, my God.
We'd, this, I also thought that's a good turkey reuben, which you know I love.
Yep.
And it was absolutely, absolutely delicious.
Also, met, like, so many nice girls at Saltwater Cowboys.
If you're listening, you know who you are.
Saltwater Cowboys just sounds like a fantastic name for a place.
It's a great name.
Sounds like somewhere I want to be right now.
Yeah, exactly.
Man.
Just, just all around great vibes from every place we went to.
I was living through all your Instagram stories.
I follow you and your friends.
I was like, oh, my God, they're having such a blast.
why wasn't I invited.
But it looked like so much fun.
I know.
We really had a great time.
We stayed in an awesome Airbnb that was like off King Street a little bit.
So we walked around to a lot of places and just had a phenomenal time.
My voice really honestly mostly is gone because Saturday night we came home and me,
Ali and Lauren were absolute menaces.
and everybody was like going to bed
and we just started blasting the greatest showment
and singing at the top of our lungs.
Oh.
And Ali can legit sing.
Like Ali can sing.
She was showing you guys up.
Allie can sing.
And everybody, we also have like a major Daisy Jones obsession.
So like I'd be like,
Ali, we're singing, look at us now.
You're Daisy.
Oh, like full on performances.
So I was singing the low parts.
Yeah.
You could do that.
The high parts.
Which then turned into.
high school musical.
I was going to say like where does Abba come in?
Yeah, it actually went straight into high school musical.
We played almost all of high school musical two and then house school musical three.
Ali has a video on her phone that I will show you but it will never see the light of day.
We filmed like ourselves like TikTok style like up.
High school musical, you know at the end.
Yeah, yeah.
And we have to.
Oh, you should post that.
It was actually got awful.
It's terrible.
But we had so much fun.
That sounds like a blast.
You're on a Charleston high.
I am.
I loved it.
Traveling on Sunday was rough.
Would you move to Charleston?
You know, it's definitely made my short list of hypothetical places when I never move.
Like, you know what?
In my mind, I'm like, I have a list of places that are like, oh, I love this place.
Could live there.
Will I actually ever move?
No.
But on my hyperbent.
Never say never.
Yeah, never say never, but on my hypothetical list of places, yeah, it's on there.
Maybe when you retire.
San Diego Charleston.
Is Charleston below San Diego?
Charleston's a little closer.
Charleston is a little closer, yeah.
San Diego would be far.
Yeah.
That's too far.
Noah, how was your weekend?
It was good for the most part.
We played an April Fool's joke on Noah.
And there was some good, some good, like, celebs got me a couple times on.
not going to lie. I had my head on a swivel the night before. I said to myself, you better have
your head on a swivel. Can I ask you a question? Because I kind of forget, I don't remember if you
answer this, because when the realization happened, my phone, I could see all the messages,
but like, well, one negative didn't have great service walking around, Charles said. So I felt like
I was getting messages on a delay. And so I saw it all happened, but I felt like I couldn't really
contribute too much because it was like all coming in.
I feel like Noah asked and I don't remember if you answered.
You said there was a time when Noah had done something to you and you were like, I will get
you back for this.
Mark my words one day it will happen.
What was that?
What was that?
Can't remember.
All I know is, but you remember, you remember it happening.
I can't remember it happening.
You remember it happening.
I remember you saying it.
I don't remember what Noah is.
We were literally sitting right here in this exact spot.
And there was, it was a.
day where he was doing it, it happened multiple times in one day, I think it was, that he
played a joke on me like three times in one day. And at the end of the day, I just lost it.
And I was like, I will get you back one day. And you were like, fine. Because it was one that
you accepted. You were like, yep, I deserve it. Because I remember, you were like, fine, fine.
I was like, I will get you back one day. And you will, when you least expect it. And it's coming
for you. And this has been months and months now.
I don't even know if people know what happened, by the way.
We're only to explain it.
Post on Instagram.
There would be times where I'd be like, hmm, when do I get this guy back?
Like, it's months.
So much time has passed, I don't even remember exactly what he did to me.
Yeah, I just remember knowing that I had to get him back for something.
And you guys remember it too.
I have a vivid memory of you sitting right there looking at him, straight face going.
I will get you back.
Yeah.
When you least expect, like, dead.
And we being like, who.
It was devious.
And Kelly Martin, our lovely talent booker, texted me on Friday morning and she goes, should we prank Fran and Noah?
And I was like, absolutely not Fran.
No.
But yes, Noah.
And I was like, actually, I've been waiting to get Noah back for months now for something I can't even remember that he did to me, but I know that I said I would get him back.
This is perfect.
And she was like, what should we do?
And I was like, we should tell him, John Mayer is coming on the podcast.
and she was like, what if I tell him
I have a meet and greet for him and John Mayer?
I was like, no, I don't think he would be interested in that.
He said multiple times that he doesn't really want to meet
John Mayer in a way like that.
Like, he wants to meet him like if he's coming here.
So I was like, I don't think he'd be interested in that.
He doesn't want to be like total fanboy.
He wants to like look cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I was like, that's not going to be his vibe.
Like, we just have to tell him that John Mayer is in the works.
Yeah.
For coming on the podcast.
So I texted you.
I was like, just go along with it.
So we said.
Oh.
So you knew.
Oh, yeah.
I thought that she found out when I found out.
No, no.
Fran knew.
I had to let her know.
You had to text to me on the side the day before and was like, heads up, we're pranking.
No.
I said, okay.
Yeah.
So when my messages being like, oh my God, what?
Like that I, that was in.
You think I wasn't going to tell Fran?
I just thought that when she, when Kelly had asked.
If I didn't know, then the prank would have also been on me.
Yeah, but she said prank, I was like not Fran.
So I had to let Fran know.
Oh, yeah, I guess.
Because I can't.
have been as to straw, but yeah.
No, but still.
No, no prints on Fran.
No.
So.
And I would have wanted to have been in on the prank.
Yeah.
I would have felt left out for the prank of Noah without me.
You would be like, why did you not tell me that?
It's bizarre.
So we set the scene, told Noah, you know.
This is the day before April Fool's.
Yes.
Day before April Fool set the scene.
John Mayer's in the works, blah, blah, blah.
He's like, what?
And then I'm asking questions.
I'm like, how did that happen?
And then the next day, Kelly Martin's like, it's confirmed.
She sends an email.
email being like 3 p.m. Tuesday HQ.
On the day before April Foolers, after she texted us, like, it's looking real good.
Like, thank you tonight. I like, you couldn't, you've probably never seen me that happy.
Like, I was texting people, text my friends who like John Mayer, I called my parents.
When Noah said he, when Noah said he facetamed his parents, I was like, damn.
I face time. I know. I was on faceTime with my mom when I found out that.
it was fake.
Oh my God.
And she said right before that, oh, no, are you sure?
This isn't an April Fool's thing?
And I'm like, no, it's not.
You can't get past Mrs. I mean.
So then I told Kelly to send the email
for the calendar, it says April Fool,
so then that happened.
No, I was upset.
Well, she sent it at 8 a.m.
I didn't wake up to, like, one p.
And I checked my email.
I was like, why isn't no one?
Kelly texted, well, because we were waiting for you
to have a reaction before we said anything.
Kelly texted me and Ream was like at like 11.
was like, does this kid not see his
look at his emails on the weekend?
Like, we're waiting.
But it's also Saturday.
You know what I mean?
Kelly wakes out of 7 a.m.
But I woke up at like close to one probably.
Yeah, I mean, that's absurd.
But it was like, he's busy during the week.
But was like, why hasn't anyone acknowledged his email?
I honestly didn't even see the email.
And it wasn't like a normal email.
I felt like you knew that I was out and about.
So it was like, oh, like, oh, Fran's busy.
Well, yeah.
I also was like you guys don't really check your emails anyway.
So my thing, I was like, why did she send it like this?
Like she never sends an email like this.
Why didn't she just text us?
We were already texting.
But I sent it being like, holy shit.
Like it's confirmed.
Yeah.
And so.
I like, I was going to lay in bed all day.
And when I saw that email, like I jolted up and was like, I'm going on a walk.
Like, because I had to like walk off my excitement.
It was so nice out too.
It was.
Yeah.
So then we broke the news that it was.
Well, she sent the calendar.
Sent the calendar invite.
And Noah found out.
it was fake and he was upset
and I told my parents
that I did this and they were like
oh poor Noah and I was like
that was pretty much the sentiment from everyone
no that's the
that's the
what's the word I'm looking for
that's like the front he put oh poor Noah
behind the scene nobody
knows that Noah
that day that we can't even remember it
it couldn't be that bad if you can't remember
no I remember like freaking it
I remember your reaction being
legit angry. I was so
like. And that's what I remember. It was so long
ago that I can't even remember but I know that
it was like a... And I remember myself being like, all right, no,
you pushed it too far. Oh yeah.
Oh, I pushed it too far. This is
so much farther than whatever I
did. This is funny. Friday night
I literally
How many people did you tell? Friday night
I was in my bed
coming up with questions in my head.
Look, I don't love...
You guys know, like,
I don't love pranks. You guys know it.
But April Fool's is like, that's the time.
If you got, if you get got on April Fool's, that's on you.
There's a thing.
My main reason why I never even crossed my mind was like.
You also did text us separately, the two of us, and said, is this in April Fool's?
Did I?
Yes.
Did he?
Yes.
Like on Friday?
I think on Friday.
And I think neither of us answered.
No, it was because.
Sarah wrote in the group chat
Saying, no, I'm telling you, I'm going to find it.
But, yeah, I was so, I was literally like, what am I going to wear?
Like, I was going to get a haircut on Saturday morning.
Oh, Saturday, when you initially opened the email, you sent us a screenshot to just us.
And sent a ton of question marks and then said, is this an April Fool's joke?
and Ria just said,
OMG.
And that was,
and that was,
and then we stopped talking in that group.
Then I sent a text to,
and then you sent a text to the big group.
Well, there's another group that I have
with all the people who work under Kelly,
just them.
And a lot of them are John Mayer fans too.
So I texted them.
I didn't text them the day before
because I was like,
I don't want to jinx this.
Like, I don't want to jinx anything.
Did Kelly tell all of them about the just Frank?
Yes. So I didn't know that.
I texted them being like,
I literally said,
Is this an April Fool's or is John Mayer actually coming on the podcast?
And they were like, dream.
They were like, oh, yeah, I'm trying to get ready.
Like, I don't know what I'm going to wear.
Like, fully in on it.
Oh, God.
You know those girls also were fucking put-to or a chance of prank, Noah.
So excited.
They probably loved every second of them.
And then, yeah, I, like, told my grandma on Friday.
I called my grandma.
Oh, don't make me feel bad.
Don't make me feel bad.
She's like, oh, that's great.
prank is miniscule compared to the prank that we pulled on Fran.
I don't know about that.
Noah.
Noah.
The prank that we pulled on Fran, we had fake voices.
We had phone calls.
We had emails.
We fran had to go down to the lobby of the whole thing.
I thought my actual job was in jeopardy.
If that was me, though, I really wouldn't have cared.
I would be like, oh.
Noah.
But like, it's.
Noah.
This hurts more than that.
That hurts.
Debatable.
Okay.
I was literally like envisioning.
We won't take one pains away.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, pain is pain.
Brank is a prank.
A prank is a prank.
Franz was a lot more in-depth than this.
I don't know.
You had the whole booking team in on this.
We had calendar invites sent.
Yeah, but that very easily executed prank.
Like it was just like, just a couple.
It just was said, hey, everyone, make sure you tell that was.
Fran's prank last year.
We had.
But that was also spurred.
the moment like oh let's just like fake like yeah it wasn't like we planned it out days in advance like
I mean this was like one day it was one day one day this was my main less than 24 hours one day
I was like very much blinded by my excitement because I don't really get got like I'd like to think
that that this doesn't happen and you're just pissed you got out well I was just like oh my god
like I didn't even look into like he's on tour I think in my head I was just like oh his tour must
be over like at that point I don't know
And she was like, Kelly Martin isn't the type to prank me re-infra.
Like, she wouldn't prank re-infra.
That was what I was thinking.
I was like, she's not going to prank re-end friend.
So, like, this isn't.
It's such a jokester.
I didn't know that she prank people.
She's such a jokester.
I know that side of Kelly Warren.
I know that she's a joke-ser.
To be honest, this was originally her idea.
She wanted to prank both of you.
Yeah, like this.
She hit up me because that's how much of a jokester she is.
This stem from both of you.
from Kelly saying like, hey, let's pull a break.
She's put on her story.
I still got it.
Kelly Martin is a fucking brinks.
She's a brinkster.
You should have seen my face when I found out.
I'm sorry.
Because I was on FaceTime and she had just said like, is this April?
And I sent the text to Devin and Sarah when I was like Devin, Sarah.
I was so excited to tell them.
I know.
I told Devin.
Oh, you did?
I definitely did.
When?
I'm pretty sure I told Devin probably Friday or Saturday morning.
Because Sarah was like, is this in April fools?
And I was like, no.
I was like, fuck.
I didn't tell Sarah.
And I was like, oh, shit.
But then I was like, that actually kind of helps.
No, it's not.
It's real.
It helps.
And then my mom said the same thing.
And then I was on the FaceTime with her and like got an email notification.
And it was a calendar.
And it was a set April Fool's.
And I still didn't want to accept it.
I was like, I had to text Kelly.
I'm like, are you fucking cool?
It really is a testament to the.
entire April Fool's movement
that every year
everyone is still
everyone still gets got by
April Fool's. You know, like
we all know it's that, we all know it's that day.
I got got. I got got so many times. I got got by
Amanda, not skating, but not fat. She posted that Pete Davidson
was going on a lot of that. And you sent it to her. And I sent it to the group being like,
oh my God. And then I was like, fuck. How embarrassing after I just right.
But I feel like it took like 30 seconds.
seconds for the day.
You sent it and then you went, like, it was all consecutive text.
It being like, oh my God.
And then like, oh, wait, never mind.
I got got by, um, while it was in Charleston, I got got by Taylor and Shep Taylor posted
a picture of her like kissing Shep and was like, I was like, I literally announced
to the house in Charleston being like, oh my God, they got back together.
Got God on that.
Hannah and Dylan.
Hannah and Dylan
I saw later
So that one
That one didn't get me
I actually wasn't even
I didn't even think that was an April Fool joke
I thought that he just got Hennas
Like I was like okay
They got Hennas
Like I didn't even think anything of that
Yeah
I felt like that was really
You know that scene in
Arrested Development
Where Michael Sarah's just like
Walking with his head down
With that music
That was loading me in Central Park all day long
listening to John Mayer. I went on a walk and all I was doing was just reading everyone making fun
of me on Instagram. Just listening to John Mayer. I walked 30,000 steps or something. Noah has been,
so, you know we talked about walking last week? Like, just enjoy walking. And I had been telling
Noah for a while now, like, because he likes to run and I like to walk and I am not a runner.
And I was like, I find walking to be very enjoyable. You listen to music. You walk. You walk. It.
you actually end up doing more, in my personal opinion,
runners out there, they can run fucking 10 miles a day.
I'm not a runner. In my personal opinion,
I could walk way more than I can run.
And by the time the day is done, I've walked like over five miles,
whereas I would never be able to run five miles.
So Noah's like, oh, I run two, three miles a day, whatever.
And I'm like, try walking.
This guy is now addicted.
He's a dick.
He's sending, I'm 20K steps in deep.
I'm like, we're in a fucking battle.
So now we're in a battle that we're basically we're trying to figure out the logistics of is...
Did you walk 10,000 steps yesterday?
Yeah.
And I went...
Yeah.
So basically we're trying to do 10K a day steps.
And the loser every day of April.
And then the loser...
Or was it every day of April or whoever has the most 10K...
That's probably what it should be.
At the end of April, who had the most days with 10K steps?
It's hard to track that, though.
I guess.
It's hard to go back.
We're not wearing Apple watches.
In the app.
You'll tell you this stage.
You guys need a...
I have an Appleog.
I can't fitbit or something.
But I'm not.
But besides the point,
like we were trying to figure out
like incentives,
we're still working on that.
Well, I said I should get
one of your first class tickets on tour.
For beating her?
Yeah, if he beats me.
And I was like, then what do I get?
Yeah, what the hell do you get?
Well, I was just like, sorry that I have nothing to offer you.
Yeah.
What do you want?
You got to have some kind of even deal here.
What do you want?
Let me know.
That's quite literally zero incentive for Ria to beat you.
But now he's a walking addict and he's like, I've changed my perspective on exercising.
It's relaxing now.
I was like, yes, exactly.
It becomes very enjoyable when you go, I'm not doing this.
Well, also you're coming into the peak walking weather.
Yeah.
Like this is the time to walk.
The last two days I walked the entirety of Central Park from 58th to 110th back.
It's great.
Yeah.
Walking's great.
All right.
Congratulations.
Oh, one more thing.
Oh, my God.
This has become just like a...
April 4th.
Rag on Noah's segment, but last thing we'll talk about.
And Noah, we love you and we appreciate you.
But last night, really, like, late, actually.
I had already fallen asleep.
I woke up to this.
12.20 a.m.
Devin sends in our big chicks in the office group chat.
Noah, you're a freak.
With this, with a picture of...
So I'm assuming you, Noah, Sarah, and Devin are all logged into the chicks in the office, YouTube.
There's explosive neck cracks, loud popping necks, omitted in 15 seconds.
Wow.
Extreme neck cracking.
How to self-release your neck in seconds.
Top neck cracks, loud intense cracking.
That's four.
That's four.
Now we're on to five.
ASMR bone cracking compilation.
This sounds a way worse than it is.

I'm gonna reenact
my phone's on my nightstand
it's 12 20 at this point
it's still flipped up
my eyes are closed I
I normally sleep with my phone
I do not disturb and I forgot to do it
so I hear my phone
vibrate and I like pop an eye
and I see that Devin wrote in the group
and I wanted to make sure
that it was nothing pressing
so I literally go like this
I looked and I went
and I just dropped my phone back on the nightstand
I was like I am not answering that right now
I was like when I saw Noah you're a freak
I was like what has he been looking at
on the chicks in the office account
and then I just see it's all neck cracking videos
and I'm like wait a second
what if it's Sarah who
you know has been working with us since October now
but like what if she didn't realize
that she's been on the chicks in the office
She's YouTube and her
her guilty pleasure is watching
neck cracking videos.
I was like, if it's Noah, fine.
If it's Sarah, I need her to come clean.
And it's okay.
But I hope that she feels comfortable enough with us
to tell us that it is her.
Yeah.
I admittedly enjoy those neck cracking videos.
Like on TikTok.
That's not why I was...
That's fine.
I watch ASMR videos.
No, no, I like it.
Like, I just...
I hate the...
You know those...
Those guys on TikTok.
People love it, obviously.
I go down a deep hole sometimes on TikTok
when you just scroll.
You're not alone.
But here's the thing.
I was maybe like a little high.
And I've for some reason like extra recently
you've been cracking my neck.
Like extra like because I kind of found a new way to do it.
My hand back here.
You found a new way from all the videos you've been watching tutorials.
But then I was just in my head being like,
I wonder if I like my injure myself doing it.
Like I'm kind of like really stretching my neck.
So then I was like, let me look at, so I started looking up.
That's what that was.
I was like, let me see how other people are doing it.
Like, just make sure, like, I'm not crazy and I'm not going to hurt myself.
And then, I mean, I was like, yeah, I was still enjoying the cracks.
Well, I mean, when you're watching videos that are literally titled Extreme Neck Cracking, I'm sure they're probably pushing the limits on neck cracking.
For you to do.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm pretty sure what my search was.
Right.
Like, people would be like, oh, that's what I do.
I think my search was something like crazy self neck cracker.
It was very fun
All I see is Noah you're freak
It could have been way worse
It could have been way worse
I hope you're not looking up
That type of stuff on YouTube
No no
I hope you have a different outlet for that
Yeah
That's something that like I guess like what
First of all a better question is
Why is Devin in the back end of YouTube
At 1230 on a son
On a son on a
Oh Devin's a freak too
Like what is Devin doing?
Why is she looking at the history
of our YouTube at 1230 a.m.
Here's a thing.
Like I had just watched those videos like 20 minutes before that.
You go down rabbit holes of like looking up things.
Oh yeah.
All the time.
Like I'm always on to everybody.
Like always.
I'm looking at people's like if I was locked into the chicks in the office YouTube,
I would also be once in a while checking the history.
Like I'd be like who was watching what videos.
I guess.
Just for fun.
Not even to judge.
just because I'm nosy.
That makes me think that Devin was like,
maybe she's trying to hide something.
Like, she went to go clear her history
because she was searching something
and then she's like, oh, look at this.
I don't think it's that team.
Honestly, yeah.
You know what?
He's trying to deflect.
No, no, I think it's, I think her being in the back end of that
at 1230.
What do you mean?
Back end, though.
Like, you have to, like, go.
You have to be on, like, a computer.
Like, you can't just see that on your,
you have to, like, log in.
Maybe she was just working.
she probably was just working
Yeah
I don't know
That's weirder than me watching neck cracking
I don't think you watching
The neck cracking videos is weird at all
And I don't think Devin looking at the history
Is weird
I just think it's funny
Now I have to keep that in my head
Now I'm gonna be so self-conscious
Whatever I'm gonna clear the history every time
Log into
I don't
It's just easier if I don't
Okay
So everything
Then this is your problem
So of everything that you've been watching
on YouTube is now
I will like kind of
reset the history. I'm going to log on to the chicks in the office
YouTube. I will reset the history
from time to time. She's a guessing game of who's watching
what video? Which I had done earlier in the day because I feel
bad that all the recommended
if I'd keep it for Sarah
and then will be like stuff that I've watched. So I'll clear
it which will be like terrible
movies or like
whatever music I'm listening to
or like that type of stuff. But I was like
I didn't think to clear it at midnight last night
when I was watching a neck cracking video.
Very funny. We all laughed.
It's all right.
We all laughed at your expense for the last 72 hours.
Although I think that most people were on my side for the John Mayer thing.
People are like, oh, that's too mean.
You know, what if you?
April fools.
Yeah.
How would you handle that?
I don't know if you have someone on the level of John Mayer for me, but like if we did that to you for like Harry Stiles.
Look, if you're pulling a prank like that on June 14th, like,
Like, if you're, if you're just, like, picking a time.
Here's the thing.
I would obviously be like, oh, damn, like, I was upset.
But, um, my heart's, there's also a certain, like, relief of like, oh, my God.
Now I don't have this, like, anxiety of, like, what I'm going to say to this person.
No, you just, you know, when you have, like, a pit in your stomach, you're like, oh, my God.
Like, I, like, collapsed on to my bed.
I don't have that person, you know, like, I love a lot of people.
But I don't have that die-hard love that you guys do for certain people.
You know what I mean?
No, I can't pick one person that I'm like, fall into the floor.
You know what I?
But I just love a lot of people.
My mom was like, all right, I'm going to call you in 30 minutes to check in that you're okay.
All right.
Well, April Fool's, everybody.
Hope you got some enjoyment out of that.
Let's get into the rest of the show.
Slow on topics.
Once again, slow on topics.
All right.
True Thompson's fifth birthday party.
Our lives are more exciting right now than what these people are up to.
True Thompson had her fifth birthday.
Honestly, I just want to talk about this page six headlines.
Just a headline.
Honestly, that's what's the funny part.
Kelsey Ballerati and Chase Stokes, red carpet appearance.
Gwyneth Paltrow won her ski trial, awarding her $1.
We have a great interview.
with Luke Bracey and a great game of trivia.
Really a really good game.
And that's it, guys.
So let's get into the topics.
Rhea and I both love rocking aviators.
They are a timeless frame.
They never go out of style.
But they normally always get tangled in our hair
with the shady rays new tangle-free aviators,
which we are wearing right now.
It's that easy.
You can put them right up, sit on top of your head,
pull them off, on, off.
It's so nice.
You're not pulling out your hair, which happens all the time,
which is the worst when you are actually yanking hair out of your head.
Now you can rock that aviator look without the messy hair
because of their custom patent-pending nosepiece
that they designed specifically to avoid tangling.
So you can have the same classic aviator
and be able to put them on your head with no problem.
These frames are super lightweight, but they also feel very high end.
You can wear them all the time.
We love the shine on the frame.
great and honestly I am a I love putting my sunglasses on my head I always do it I think it almost is like
acts like a cute headband and it's nice when your hair is not getting tangled they're one of the
hottest sunglasses right now and they've already sold out multiple times but they are back in stock
now including the Kalmesa rose gold frame plus shady rays offers the most insane protection in all
of I wear every pair of sunglasses is backed by loss and broken replacements so if you lose or break your
pair even on day one, they will send you a brand new pair no questions asked.
So exclusively for our listeners, Shady Raise is giving out the best deal of the season.
Head to ShadyRase.com slash tanglefree and use code Chicks for 30% off their best
selling, Tangle Free Aviator, and much more.
Save before they sell out and try for yourself.
These shades rated five stars by over 250,000 people.
All right, let's get into the topics.
So page six posted this headline, which is the funny part of this article, not the nature of the article itself, is that they wrote Tristan Thompson.
They wrote, I'll find it.
It's a hilarious headline.
Chloe Kardashian welcomes cheater Tristan Thompson at Trues fifth birthday party.
Like what the fuck?
That's when, this is when you know, we can always tell like when things are slowing down or like they're trying to.
throw a buzzy headline, get some clicks.
Because really the
boring version of that is
five-year-old's father shows up at
daughter's birthday party.
And you know what the worst part about that is to be
that when True Thompson grows up and goes up
and goes on the internet and finds,
you know, she wants to look at pictures from her fifth birthday party.
It's, oh, cheating daddy shows up to my fifth birthday party.
But it goes to show that there's
Nothing going on
Every time we say True Thompson and just True Jackson plays in the guy
I know
I'm like she's just
T-R-U-E
Um
Yeah because nobody's clicking on that headline
If it's like True Thompson shows up for
Daughter's fifth birthday party
We are clicking on that headline because you're like
Tristan Thompson
We're clicking on the headline because it says
Cheater Tristan Thompson
You're like what does this article consist of
And it's just
Oh oh just
Tristan Thompson showing up.
But I did see reports...
Yeah, I did see reports that he bought a house
three doors down.
From Chloe Kardashian's house,
which if you watched the last season
of Kardashians on Hulu,
then you saw that it was a debate
on whether or not they were getting that house together.
If it was going to be Chloe's house,
ultimately it was Chloe's house,
which was clearly the smart way to go with that.
And then now Tristan's living three doors down.
I do think that they're trying again,
but she's in...
I don't think she's ever going to...
gonna make that. She just like literally can not get away from this guy.
She didn't. And I guess he clearly is also
just always around. They must have
dynamite intercourse. He does not make it easy for her
to forget him. That's for sure. No. No. But yeah,
look like a beautiful birthday party. Once again, another great event. Kylie
like posted a TikTok of hey, we're going to True's birthday.
Just feel like they haven't really been bringing the heat.
It hasn't been anything like none of them have done anything that crazy.
Even the, I was joking with Devin about the new trailer for the new season.
And we were like, that trailer gave us absolutely nothing.
Because it's just moments of them being like, all right, it's never a dull moment.
Let's get it to it.
But it's like there was no actual hint to what any of the stuff was.
And of course there are big things probably that they were filming.
But they couldn't make the trailer a little.
little juicier. Do you think that they are now playing the game of keeping things private so people
watch the show? For sure. Because we had seen so much going into the past seasons that we're like,
all right, what are we going to get from this show? Like, we've already seen it all unfold. So now they're
like, all right, let's keep these things private. I've seen talks about people wondering, like,
if Courtney's good with the family. Yeah. You know, this sister likes that sister's post. And
not that sister sometimes you just miss posts on instagram because the fucking algorithm algorithm is
awful yeah so i wouldn't put that past them and i think they're always gonna talk but just like
just like doing her own doing her own thing you know just happy with travis living her own life you
like that's what she's always wanted yeah or has been wanting i saw a funny clip that was like
fuck i can't remember exactly um damn it was about chloe i mean it was about Courtney like
not wanting to work
and
I forget the context
but it was basically like her being like
yeah that's that would be my dream
yeah yeah no I don't want to work
those last couple seasons of when they were on E
when she was just like
yeah I really like
would like to just hang out with my kids
and not do any of this shit
there's no shame like that's her dream
like she's like yeah no I don't want to work
so you saying I don't work is
yeah I don't want to
but yeah that's what's going on
with the Kardashians
Cheater Tristan Thompson shows up for
Chos up fifth for birthday
Chase Stokes and Kelsey
Valerini are looking
so adorable these days. So cute.
I'm buying
what they are selling and I know so
many people think that it's like
fake or PR like I always
see people being like don't you think this is PR I'm like
I'm buying what they're selling
they seem absolutely adorable
I love both of that like I just
I see it as well
and so
You introduced me years ago.
You introduced me to the idea of a PR relationship.
I had no idea what that even fucking meant.
And I remember talking about it on radio like five years ago where you would say like people think this relationship PR, whatever.
And I started to like realize that happens a little bit more.
Yeah.
I don't see it with these two.
Why can't they just both be really happy with each other?
Why can't they just have something going on?
Look, the two of us also, we just, we're suckers.
We're suckers for love.
We're suckers for love.
We love.
We love being happy and in love.
So I believe when people are happy and in love.
They're canoodling on the carpet.
They're the CMT Awards.
They were so sweet.
They've read carpet debut.
They're always posting.
Like, maybe people just think it's a little overkill and fine, but they just seem.
They want to show each other up.
A lot of people that want to bring down like couples who seem so in love or whatever are people who are, one, jealous.
They've never experienced that.
Or two, maybe they're not jealous, but they've never experienced it in general.
so they don't know what it's like.
And granted,
some celebrity couples do
post overkill to hide shit.
100%.
That is something that I think,
not even just celebrity couples,
I think couples in general do.
Like you've seen that happen so much
where, exactly, couples in general,
but they're constantly posting
like cute pictures and then two weeks later
they broke up.
Right.
And like you know what's going on
behind the scenes and you hear what's going on
and you're like, oh, they're posting this picture,
but they're not happy.
Like, you know for fact that.
So there are layers.
Really happy.
I could just say,
see their genuine smiles.
Yeah.
It just seemed, I don't know.
The video of Chase watching, and he's been going to her shows,
and the video of him watching her perform,
and he's singing along, and then he pulls out his phone,
and he's filming her.
I'm like, that's so, that's sweet.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I love it.
John Travolta.
Yeah, there were, I saw a lot of comments like that.
I liked his outfit.
I thought he looked good.
I, eh.
Yeah.
I, I was, I was the other thing.
is stunning.
Like crushing every outfit.
She looks amazing. She looks unbelievable.
She seems so happy in this relationship also.
And like Chase posted a story of Kelsey with Madison Bailey.
Like they were all, you know, it's, it's, I don't know.
I'm just, like I said, I'm buying what they're selling.
And I think that they are adorable.
And every time they post, it warms my heart.
They love to do, it's actually I get like a little giddy when I see that they've posted a carousel
photos because I always know that like the last one is one of the two of them.
Normally it's mixed in there somewhere but I find that most of the time it's like the second or
last photo is like something cute of the two of them. So I'm always just like ooh, it swaps like
waiting to find the cute pictures of them. A lot of cute tour content from them. It's very sweet.
I think they're cuter than Madeline and Chase. Or we saw more.
Yeah, definitely some more.
Yeah.
They were together during COVID.
Yeah.
We're seeing more.
For sure.
But I'll be upset with these two break up.
I know.
There's one of those couples.
I love how happy Cassie Ballerini looks.
They just also like really look like they're in that honeymoon phase, which is just like, you're just like, God, it's such a great feeling.
Like, I'm happy that they're happy.
Mm-hmm.
in that stage of life yeah that's great i'm happy for them i love them i think that they're a great
couple so do i um last last topic gp guenna paltrow won her ski trial she was awarded one dollar
yeah victory a victory for the little people thank god i was torn up every night about this
couldn't believe that gwendapalto was going through something like you know she was really due for a win
yeah she's been struggling for a while um the
best part of all this and I know that there was all the trial content and I honestly the doctor like
said afterwards he was like I really wish I didn't do this um which is sad but she walked out of the
courtroom after the ruling and just like walked behind him gave him a little tap on the shoulder
he turned around she said I wish you well I just walked out that's so good and now that's just
been turned into also more memes and whatnot.
I saw people use it for the
Vanderpump drama.
It's just like, people are like tap, tap and then
squatted paltrow being like, I hope you die.
Like the Ariana line.
So, no.
Just like I said, it's the most
Quentin Paltrow thing ever. It's just
I wish you well.
It just has to feel like so good for her.
Oh yeah. Like she's like,
fucking peasant.
Vindicated.
You brought me to court.
And I got my $1.
I don't even want money.
I want $1.
I just want my, to clear my name.
He has to pay all her lawyer fees.
In the ski accident of 2016.
She's to what?
He has to pay all her lawyer fees, which sucks for him.
Oh.
Yeah, she's suing for $1 and lawyer fees.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I didn't know that.
Yeah. So he's going to be down.
Oh, that's a lot of money.
Yeah.
Oh, that is.
I'm like,
99% like because who else she's not paying
I think it's yeah
damn apologies to the to the doc
that's a lot
he saw a company should have never touch it in court
I'm sure she didn't have a cheap lawyer
no or like you think if she what if you should
for like 50k you think she would have still
done this like a little lower
because he originally was like 3 million then went down to
300k I think it's the name like
thing like she could easily have paid that off
but she just wants her name to be cleared
like because then it would be
the news that she paid this guy
to just get rid of this incident and the people would think she did it.
And she's like, no, I did not do that.
After a jury on Thursday, yeah, after a jury on Thursday found that the Oscar winning actor
was not liable for the crash and that as a result, Sanders would have to pay her $1 and
her legal expenses.
Which could be up to $1 million.
He expressed regret outside the courthouse.
When a reporter asked the 76-year-old retired doc at the live televised trial, which included
testimony from his daughter's next girlfriend was worth it.
He replied, absolutely not.
Knowing that now, no,
he said in a video shared by extra.
I joked about dating sites, right?
It's like, I'm going to be on the internet forever.
He initially sued her for $3 million.
Yeah.
But that amount was reduced to over $300,000 prior to the trial.
Her attorneys, however, argued that Sanderson only sued
because of the actor's wealth and fame.
Yeah.
when it was all said and done
oh she was this
yeah the lawyer fees could be up to one million
yep
and an exchange caught on video
Paltrow stopped to lean over to Sanderson
on her way out of the courtroom
telling him I wish you well
and Sanderson said he replied
thank you dear
well they'll always share that
moments
happy for Gwana
yeah like I said she made it through
like I said she really needed

Getting into the rules quickly, 15 questions,
15 rounds.
If you get a question wrong,
the other team can steal the point.
Whoever is the most points at the end wins.
It's that simple.
To determine who goes first,
Noah is going to give us a movie,
we have to guess the Rotten Tomato score,
critics score, whoever is the closest.
Your team will get to go first.
We will alternate guesses
and everybody gets one individual guess.
So, Noah, what is today's movie?
Today's movie, shout out Lauren from California.
Greece.
Legendary film.
Have you ever seen Greece?
Nope.
Yes, I did.
In school.

I think so, yeah.
That's nice.
Okay, so one of you ladies, throw out a guess first.
One of the first?
I'm going to say 87.
That is so hot.
That's a good guess.
Yeah, I don't, sometimes with these old movies, like, I don't know where this falls.
I'm going to go, I'm going to go 64.
What'd you do?
Back to you, guys.
Oh, right, I'm sorry.
I feel like it's actually in between, like 72.
Oh, should I go low?
It can't be low.
But is it a critically acclaimed movie?
It's great.
I know.
Go.
Should I just go really?
High?
You know, 90s, I think.
All right, I'm going to go with 90.
It's 77.
Oh, so 72's the closest.
Oh, shit.
Damn.
All right.

Good guess. Good guess.
That's a good score.

I don't think he's in that.
They're so easy to confuse.
Are they?
Kind of.
But you think it's a great rom-com?
He's done other things.
I think it would be placed beyond the Pines.
It's at least in there.
For that other one, Blue Valentine.
That was very great.
And it was in a show.
Maybe we broke that in.
Crazy Stupid Love.
Blue Valentine Lola.
Or, no, notebook.

I don't hate it
But I don't love it
I wonder what the
The criteria is for
What those movies are
Because it's just like
Sometimes it's really random
Well that's what I think
Her reasoning was
I can't believe I said South
I know that
She actually wanted you to guess all four
I was right there's no
there's no like
knowledge element there
like that's a full guessing
Yeah it is
She did say I think she was like
Maybe this would be better for like
More like the start of the game
Ron Tomatoes type or like tiebreaker or something like that
Yeah yeah yeah
Okay
I can't believe I said Southpaw
And confused Jake Dahl and all around
Gossling I think they are easily
Confused
I don't think they look anything alike
Um, it's not that they look alike.
It's just that they're like
I don't even think they really do like similar movie rules.
Okay.
No, I actually agree with her.
There's crossover there for like romance.
Any type of guy.
Yeah, like they just have the same type of aura to them.
Yeah, I don't know.
Has Jake Jones done any rom-com?
Love and other drugs.
I don't even know with that.

Shout out Kiersta from Worcester, Massachusetts.
Order these people from most least Instagram followers.

That's so hard.
This is another really hard.
Could be literally any.
I think Billy has the least.
Are those people?
Beyonce's Insta, like, it's kind of, like, I'm...
I think Rihanna would have more than a Beyonce fan, but.
Wait, Rihanna, she's not an option.
Ariana, I think, is maybe the most.
Yeah.
Then Beyonce and then Justin.
No, wait, that does not that right.
Think about the Insta feed, though.

Rufus is such a lameo.
He was such a slime ball.
How lame!
That's so lame.
I just remember Nate.
I just remember Nate like always thinking he was like above that.
Or probably.
just like too lazy to send it in. Not me. I never sent in a tip. They're all like, cool.
Oh my God. Rufus, what a lameo. Like, I'm...
I think he was sleeping with like the fake cousin. Yeah. That's so fucking lame.
He got suss for a little. That's so lame of the dad to send him a tip. Like I just
like, I know we got that wrong. I mean, you could have done with Blake Lively's mom. She fucking...
But she's in the elites. You know what I mean? They're all, they're all, you know, maneuvering.
Like Rufus, I thought he was just like, oh, I'm Rufus. What are the fucking
lameo. All right. Sorry.

The world's most refreshing podcast.
Yes.
All right, everybody, we are here with a very special guest.
We have Luke Bracey in studio.
Very exciting.
We have gotten to speak to you before.
It was over Zoom.
We had a lovely conversation.
I want to say you were in Australia.
That's probably.
I think so.
And I think you were like trying to rush the interview because you were trying to get outside.
Well, you were like, it's like the sun setting.
It's beautiful.
You were like the beach is right there.
My surfboards in the corner.
I'm stuck on Zoom with these girls.
I'm trying to get out there.
And now we have you trapped in a studio in Newark.
Now you've got me here.
But I wouldn't be anywhere else.
Thank you for having me.
Thanks.
We're excited to have you.
When you're in New York, how often do you come to New York?
I'm pretty lucky.
I get to come here kind of, I don't know, three, four times a year normally for like a week or so at a stretch.
So I feel pretty lucky that I get to do that.
It's such an exciting place.
You can't like kind of, every time you get here, you're just like, ooh.
Love to be here.
Do you like coming?
I love coming here.
Yeah.
What was your first New York experience?
My first New York experience, I was like, what was I?
20 maybe?
And I got out of the airport at JFK and being someone who didn't know anything, got a gypsy cab.
And didn't know you weren't supposed to do that.
And then I was driving into the city that guys like, hey, man,
first time in New York?
And I was like, yeah, yeah, first time in New York is I'd take it the cool way.
And he drove me across the Queensborough Bridge and put on New York, New York by Frank Sinatra
as we went in.
And I was like, this was great.
And then he charged you $500 for your ride.
It would probably like normal price for what I found out.
I was like, that was worth it every penny.
Yeah, yeah.
It wasn't crazy.
It was like great experience.
That was kind of like the first time I ever came here was that.
And I was like, I like this place.
That's kind of a dreamy experience for the first time.
like you tell that story and we're like, that's a made-up story.
It was absolutely what happened to me.
And I couldn't believe it.
I was like, I'm pretty lucky here.
Yeah.
Well, you are starring in a new movie, One True Loves.
It's out April 7th.
It is a popular story because it is a Taylor Jenkins read book, which she is having
her moment right now.
It's everywhere.
Everybody loves her stuff.
I've read a lot of her books.
I've read One True Loves last summer and loved it.
So, you know, you're playing Jesse and what, how do you get into that role?
How did you find that job?
Did you read the book after you saw it or heard about it?
I got approached about the film and kind of sent the script and I read the script and then
talked to the director and he was really excited and we thought, yeah, we'd love to do this.
Obviously, Philippa Su and Sima Liu were already attached to it and I thought these are really good actors and this could be a really fun, interesting film.
and then read the book and you can't put her books down.
Like the end of every chapter, you're like,
well, I should probably find out what happens then.
And so they're always really fun that way.
And she's got a real talent for stories that people are connected to
and people love her work.
And rightfully so, she's kind of deserving it all.
She also wrote the screenplay for this.
Okay.
So I felt kind of pretty safe that it was going to be faithful to the book and stuff like that.
But that's certainly, you know, knowing how.
popular her books are
and how loyal her fan
base is there was like an automatic
sense of terror that I've been
like entrusted with one of these characters
that people love so
hope you like it
but that is nice that the screenplay is also written
by her so you know that it's going to be true because
that is something you see a lot when people get so attached
to a book and then all of a sudden
comes out if she changes anything
she wrote the book
you can't be mad it's her story
And it's almost like her saying, if I could rewrite this book, I would have done this differently.
Yeah.
You know, everyone has those things about, I'm sure it happens all the time with authors.
Or it's, if I change this.
If I made this a movie, I would make that change.
Now, you've done quite a few rom-coms.
What does it take for you now when you see a script to go, I'm going to do that?
That's different than the rom-com I've done before.
Yeah, I've been lucky.
I've done a couple now.
And they've all been, like, subverting the genre a little bit.
like holiday was really fun and kind of different.
It was two people that didn't like each other.
Becoming friends, which was really fun.
And then I just had one come out called Maybe I Do, which was with Emma again.
But that was a whole other thing.
It was like amazing film.
My parents were played by Susan Sarandon and William H. Macy and her parents were
Diane Keaton and Richard Gear.
And I was just sitting there wondering what the hell I was doing on this set.
So cool.
But yeah, so then for this one as well, it's like got that other kind of huge kind
of scope to it where, you know, I've been stranded on a desert island for four years and I come
back and my wife has a fiancé. And it's like a bit of a, a bit of a case of kind of where your life
has gone, where it could go and where it is going, right? And I think what I like about this
story is sometimes in films of this genre, you can have like kind of a villainish kind of
character that you're not really rooting for, but I feel in this book you're kind of rooting for
everyone. I think that's a really nice thing. Everyone's a good person. Everyone deserves the best
that they can have in their life. And I think that's a good little challenge for the audience to know
what side they sit on and it should be quite challenging for them. And that's also almost the best
case scenario where it does make it so intriguing because it's not so cut and dry. We're like,
I'm rooting against this person. I'm rooting for this person. You're like, where does my heart lie?
And I, for sure. And I didn't read the book, but obviously I, I,
saw what it was about. And I was like, that's really interesting. That's so different than a usual
rom-com or romantic movie. The books really does get you. Like when you're reading it, you find
yourself to be like, first, you're devastated, that she's lost him. And then it's like, oh,
she's got a new connection. Oh, we like him. And then it's like, wait, but we like Jesse too.
And which way do you go? So it definitely, like you said, you fall in love with all the characters,
which is nice, it's not just like, oh, that guy was in the past and now, like, we're done with him.
It's like, no, he, you know, he has his shot too.
The book's really good because it feels like, you know, you have a chapter on kind of one of the characters
and you're so invested to them.
And then the next, you're like, okay, that's who I'm rooting for.
That's just going to happen.
Then the next chapter will be the other side of it.
And you're like, okay, ignore what I said before.
This is the right way.
And it really kind of, yeah, really challenges that way because I don't think she can go wrong,
choosing whoever she chooses
and I don't think myself or Seema's character
can go wrong being with her or being without her.
I think it's a really lovely story that way
which is yeah, it's kind of about people finding their path in life
and that there is more than one option maybe in your life
and learning to like grow with yourself as well as someone else.
It's a nice story.
Now you said that there's a little terror that comes with having a fan base already attached
and people love these characters but at the same time
is it also a little bit of a relief because
you know people are going to watch it and you know because you do a movie you hope people are going to be a fan of it
but you already have fans yeah i think this is the first film i've done that is a is a book and already
has like such a loyal fan base of just kind of taylor in general this book as well so yeah there's
a bit of security there knowing that i think someone's going to watch it you know someone might watch
it so that's that's really good and you know i hope they i hope they enjoy it really did read
this and working on this project
leads you into reading
any of her other books or
I didn't really get a chance to because I just
like you read the book and then suddenly you're like
busy into working but I already kind of
had a connection
I got to read a couple of
like the early scripts of Daisy Jones and the six
because I'd worked with like the production company
and stuff like that and I was like this is a pretty
amazing story. Taylor's
quite a genius in terms of
her books are so
diverse in terms of where she sets
the storylines, the people involved.
I think she's got a real knack of telling stories or just kind of identifying bits of human
nature to explore, but then also being able to do it in so many varied kind of worlds
that, yeah, I should probably pick up another couple.
Yeah, well, she, and right now, right, like Daisy Jones and the Sixth has been on
and everybody's been freaking out about the show adaption.
And then she's got all these other projects that are being made onto either movies,
films, TV shows, would you be interested in continuing in like the Taylor Jenkins
Reed universe? Because people joke that there's like the Marvel universe and like all this
stuff and their joke that there is like the TJR universe because she does drop little tidbits
of characters in each book that like they all live in the same world but they all have their
own stories. It's kind of like Nicholas Sparks too. Like I remember my mom read all the Nicholas
Sparks book and she was so attached because they all kind of like.
came together, you know, not the same thing, but yeah.
Yeah, I, I, if she'll have me, you know, it's up to her, she's the boss, it's her world.
So if she liked what I did, then, you know, and there's another room for him as a character or something,
then absolutely.
But yeah, you kind of, yeah, she's building this whole kind of world where, I know,
it's hard not to kind of imagine what life would be like if we lived in that world.
Right.
It is, it is, it is cool and people really want to be in that time.
And like you said, it's an amazing cast that you worked with on this film.
What was it like working with Philippa?
She seems amazing.
I mean, obviously, she's at the voice of an angel.
Yeah, she's unreal.
She's so talented in so many ways.
You know, she sings, she acts, she does it all.
And she's super clever.
And just a great teammate to have.
I think when you're making a film and the person you're working with,
it's all about having each other's back, right?
And, you know, supporting each other with the scenes and without.
And she had such a tough job on.
this film bouncing between storylines, you know, in the morning it might be me and her.
And then the afternoon, it's her and Simu. And she's got to go between these worlds and these
places. And she did such an amazing job that way. So, yeah, working with Philippa, I got to hear
her sing like briefly a couple of times. And that was like, it was quite an angelic moment.
Yeah. I'm jealous. I can't. Like, wow. Can you sing? Absolutely not.
Yeah. So she does it all for both of us. Like, you've special for those people who didn't
get to see that first run of Hamilton to be like, yeah, exactly.
Was this what that felt like?
Exactly.
It was kind of funny people kind of meeting her and just like kind of hoping that she
starts singing.
Yeah, yeah.
She's like,
she's going to tease her to break out into song at any moment.
Tease them a little bit.
But like, yeah, she's great.
Yeah, that's incredible.
But, I mean, you've worked on some great projects in the last year.
Like some really cool stuff have come out, like you said,
second movie with Emma Roberts.
Yeah.
What's the connection you two have now that you've done two,
movies. Well, that's it. When we did the first one, we did holiday, we kind of just automatically
became really good mates. And we just had really a lot of fun every day at work. And if you can
find someone that you can have fun with at work, we kind of finished holiday and went, we should
do this again. But we want to pick the right thing. We didn't want to do a second same thing.
So that other one that came through, maybe I do it was a little different. And it had that just kind
of step up into a different realm for us. And then obviously the cast we're working with was amazing.
But yeah, it's pretty easy when you go on to work with your mate
and you're just kind of like having a laugh
and it makes life pretty easy.
And yeah, I got to do some other stuff.
I got to be in Elvis, which was pretty awesome.
I just went to kind of was in LA for kind of the Oscar week
and got to drink some free champagne
and party with everyone we did that with.
And that was really nice.
We had a really great group of people doing that
and working with a legend like Baz
and also watching Austin do like one of the greatest performances ever.
Watch that live for six months.
It was, we all knew it was pretty special when we were filming it.
I remember like the end of one of the first weeks, it was one of the performances.
And at the end of that day, we all kind of looked at each other and went, that was fucking awesome.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
We were like, that was pretty amazing.
We're like, yeah, yeah.
And then like just went on for six months just watching him do the most amazing work.
So for him to get all the kudos that he's got over the past couple of months, it's been well, well deserved, thoroughly deserved.
And also just a movie like that, it's pretty humbling to be in because you know that people are going to watch it in 20 years time.
It's still going to be kind of a quintessential movie that you've got to watch.
So pretty humbling to be a part of it.
Right now with a movie like Elvis, is that something you audition for or approached?
I was pretty lucky.
We were in Australia when it happened.
So like it was filmed in Australia, right?
Yeah, yeah.
It was supposed to start.
Easy because Elvis never left.
Yeah.
Exactly.
which I didn't really realize it during the film.
But no, I think someone else was attached to my role
before it started a film.
We were supposed to start before COVID,
and then it kind of broke down,
and then I just happened to be Australia.
I think this person could get back into Australia.
And so I just got like an email from my age and saying,
hey, keep your phone on because Bazelerman wants to give you a call.
I was like, oh, awesome, cool.
And so.
I'm available.
Yeah, I've got nothing to do.
That's really cool.
And then so kind of just hopped on the phone with Baz.
We kind of chatted for an hour or so and talked about kind of the movie and Jerry is a guy,
the guy that I played.
So, and then at the end of it, he said, I'd love to have you up in the Gold Coast if you come and I went.
Yeah, absolutely.
Thank you, Baz.
I'll be there.
That's awesome.
And when you get on the phone with him, does he mention to you like how he found you?
Like, he's seen your work.
Like, does that kind of come up?
Yeah, I might have been a little bit lucky because I had a small role in a, uh, a, a
show called Little Fires Everywhere.
Rees Witherspoon, Kerry Washington.
And I was like the only person in that show that I played kind of three different ages.
Everyone else had different actors first.
So like I played a bit of a stretch.
19 year old me.
I don't know how much I pulled that off.
Then I played like 28 year old Carrie.
And then I played like 40 something year old guy.
And so that had just come out and maybe like, because you know, the olivostory spans a few
decades.
And maybe I was just lucky timing wise that Baz was like, oh, he can.
he can play a couple of different ages and do that.
So I might have been just a kind of fortunate.
That was Reese's, what was the character?
I was like the old high school.
Old boyfriend who went to Paris.
And he like lived out the career job that she wanted.
I ended up coming to New York.
Anna Sophia Rob played the.
Exactly.
And then I'm in New York working for the Times.
I don't think I realized that you played yourself.
I played every one.
a good show too. I mean, it was a limited series, but it's amazing. But it's really cool to think about
like a director like Baz who has in his brain like a collection of actors and actresses that you
would never, you're like, how's this guy ever going to see me, right? Like I got to get in front of his face,
but he did see you. Yeah. And you know, just kind of, as I say, it's, you know, a lot of fortune,
kind of on my end, less than me doing anything in particular. Just kind of luckily being in Australia
the time, I guess, in a way. But yeah, to have someone like him, he's such an amazing director
and such an amazing artist. And I don't know if he should get so much more credit than he does,
even though he gets a lot of credit. He gets so much more because he's such an intelligent man.
He knows something about everything. He's such a wise man. He's such a supportive director as well.
He kind of allows you, he gets you to come in and you're a bit nervous because it's obviously
a legend of cinema. And then he's like, I got you for a reason. Kind of like, what do you
reckon and you're like what are you asking me for you know anyway he he kind of allows you to come in and
hey baza i got an idea about this he's like yeah that's great do that and you're like okay you're sure
he's like yeah yeah perfect that's why i got you so to have someone as encouraging as him and
he's just a a great man and a great director and a great leader of people and everyone that works
with him like all the crew they've kind of made a number of movies with him he creates such an
environment that is exciting and he really is able to bring out the best in everyone involved
in the film from cast to crew.
And you see it in the movie too.
It's exciting, like the way that it's shot.
There's not a lot of movies these days that can keep everybody's attention for that long, you know, because it's a long movie.
It's a long movie.
So, and that is one that you watch and you're like, I could have watched another hour.
Exactly.
And it like rockets through it.
Like you get to the end, you're like, what happened?
Yeah.
But yeah, amazing film.
Did you go to the Oscars?
You said you had a little bit of a book.
I didn't go to the show.
but I kind of went for the weekend before.
There's a few parties before and you just kind of walk in and drink some free champagne.
Is it as fun as it seems on the outside?
Like what's the vibe of those parties?
Yeah, you know, it's a bit strange, I guess.
But it's kind of nice being able to go like for something.
Right, right.
Like I'm in the movie.
But have no responsibility.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that's the best bit about like a weekend like that.
It's like, yeah, I'm here because like I'm in a film that's nominated,
but I don't have to do anything.
You just get to have all the benefits.
having fun. Is it one of those things where you show up and you're like, is this a party party or is
a butt party? Like you almost like don't know how you're going to act at first? Yeah, it's a bit of both
because there's obviously, you know, there's a little bit of business involved. You've got to
right, you know, kiss some hands and shake some babies and meet a few people and stuff like that.
But after that, you just kind of got a good group of people around you. And if you've got your friends
there, you can just kind of have a big boogie and a bit of a laugh and kind of stick together.
It's nice and fun. I got to go to the Oscars one year for,
I was in a movie called Haxor Ridge and I got to go to the show for that.
And that was really exciting, but it's a really long show.
And like the two, if you leave the auditorium to like go to the bathroom or to get a drink or something like that and you don't make it back in time before the end of the ad break, you kind of get locked out until the next ad break and someone takes your seat.
And like the two times I walked out was the two times that Haxor Ridge won something.
Oh my God.
So I was like outside like, yay!
I really should be in there, but anyway.
That's why they won.
That's why they won.
And I was sitting there before, like, the last awards, you know,
like Best Picture and Director and Actor and stuff,
and I'm like, should I walk outside?
Should I go outside?
So we got a chance.
And I was like, I'd really like to be here if any way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's awesome.
I know that there was always a lot of focus on Austin's performance
and how dedicated he was to the role while he was filming.
And he really felt like he was, you know,
really took on that.
role of Elvis. Did you feel that way working alongside of him? Yeah. I mean, the dedication he had
to that was, it was so impressive to see, like to see someone put everything they got into,
into their work. It was quite inspiring, actually. And, you know, my job was, I played like his
best friend in the film. So my job was just to be there and be like, you're right, mate, do you want to
go have a beer or like everything good? Like, let's hang out or you can chill, like whatever it is. And so
to kind of be around that, it was, as I said, it was a pretty inspiring thing to see,
like the amount of time that he spent working on that and getting everything perfect.
Yeah, I think, as I said, he can't get enough credit for what he did.
And yeah, I thought he was amazing and really brought the guy to life.
And, you know, I think the proofs in the pudding with Elvis's family,
kind of accepting him and saying that he did a good job.
So I think they're the only critics that really matter.
Yeah, I mean, it's very hard for like to do a biopic when, you know, Elvis is no longer here, but like for his family.
Yeah.
Because people, it can be very sensitive.
Absolutely.
And when the family like and really thinks the performance lives up to the person, it doesn't happen very often.
It doesn't happen very often.
Most of the time you hear the family complaining about it happening.
If they like it, then I guess that's all it really matters.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now what's next for you?
Do you have a dream role of something?
some sort that you really want to play or?
Oh, I don't know.
I kind of take any job I can get really.
No, I took kind of a little bit off the end of last year.
I was so lucky kind of over 2020 and 2021 where I got to like do a bunch of work actually.
I got to make like five films or so in like a year and a half.
And so by the end of like the middle of last year when I was finished that fifth one,
I was a bit exhausted.
So I kind of just like took some time off.
But now I'm kind of back into it.
and keen to get back to work
and trying to do some writing
and trying to produce some stuff
and just take a bit more ownership on my career
and trying to be a little bit more, yeah,
kind of the master of my own domain a bit.
Sometimes you can feel a bit passive in this game.
You're kind of waiting for things to happen.
And so to keep those juices flowing,
I've just been trying to be creative
and trying to find my own things.
Make your own world.
I mean, it's some serious, like you said,
you're working on these movies.
It's a serious resume booster,
a lot of these roles that you did.
So does, I feel,
give you the freedom to now get to do a lot of your own stuff
or what you want to do, I should say.
Yeah, I mean, you're always still, like,
feel like a complete imposter,
and I don't think that ever goes away.
So you're kind of, like, juggling those two balls
where it's like, well, I've done some work,
so maybe I get another job one day.
And then you're like, but I don't know anything.
And I'm an idiot.
How do they ever make a film in the first place?
So if you can try and find the middle ground of that, you're all right.
Has Emma given you any good advice on that?
Because obviously Emma's been acting since she was really, really young.
So I assume maybe just experience-wise she knows how to handle a lot of it.
Yeah, she's great that way.
I think she's such a professional in the way that she goes about it.
And I think for her, it's like she's got her book club.
She's producing stuff as well.
So it's maybe one thing that I've learned from her that she's like,
hey, sit down, kid.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you're clearly doing something right already on the row.
Yeah, yeah.
But just kind of seeing her, like, as I say, take a bit of onus
and kind of be a bit more in control of what she's doing.
It's really inspiring.
And yeah, her kind of, she just goes from strength to strength.
There's no stopping her.
She's an absolute weapon.
And one of the really kind of good ones.
Yeah.
Any big advice from those amazing co-stars you had on that movie?
Like, what do you talk to Richard Geer about?
Well, the first time I met him was like in the makeup trailer,
like one of his first, like the first day or something.
like that and he was like, hey Richard, nice to meet you. I'm Luke. Hi, Richard.
Dear. What's going on? How are you doing, mate? He's like, I'm kind of nervous.
And I was like, don't tell me that. Yeah. I'm shitting myself.
You're nervous. What am I supposed to be? And then we made, he's making my dad. We went and had
some dinner and he was like, oh, I'm really nervous. I didn't know if I'd like, don't tell me
this. I'm the nervous one. You guys are legends. Yeah. So I guess in a weird way,
kind of them kind of expressing that to me shows that it's really normal and it's not going to go away.
and it's kind of healthy.
It makes you work hard.
And it makes you like crush your teas and dot your eyes.
And it makes you kind of, yeah, not rest on your laurels.
So it's always good to like know that and for that to be reinforced and to hear it from the best to ever do it.
Yeah, I mean, you just said the imposter never goes away.
Like you just said with them saying they're nervous.
Yeah.
I'm sure they feel the same way.
Yeah, exactly.
So weird way it was terrifying and comforting.
Yeah.
Did you film that movie in New Jersey?
We did, Montclair.
I grew up a couple towns over from there.
Yeah, nice.
So it's a great area.
Did you like being in New Jersey?
It's a big, big, you know, change.
There was...
Not as nice as Australia.
But I didn't really know much of Montclair,
but I found out there are some really big houses there.
There are, there are.
There are.
There are some massive houses.
Yeah.
The view back to the New York skyline is quite amazing.
It's only like half an hour into the city.
So on the weekends, I just kind of like pop into the city
and have a bit of a good time on Friday nights.
maybe a little bit of Saturday and then go back to work.
I remember it was like a hot topic
for the neighborhood because
all the towns that we grew up in were like,
they're filming this big movie in Montclair
and Luke Bracey, Emma Roberts and
all these incredible people.
I might have been like the last name they mentioned
but I appreciate that.
No, no, definitely not. But
no, that was cool. I was like, I think that's
where they filmed it, which is... Yeah, we filmed there
and we kind of, yeah, it was all there, really.
Yeah. You know, filmed in a couple of like
the houses there and then the main street and the hotel and
You know, as funny as I, you know, before you came in here, I was, uh, was Googling you and just, you know, seeing what, what the latest thing is up to?
You know, like, one of the top Google recommended searches for you is like, is Luke Bracey related to the Hemsworth?
I saw that too.
Like, when you search your name, then like all those other questions that come up and it's like, is Luke Bracey a Hemsworth brother?
Maybe, maybe like the key is in the name, but my name is not Hemsworth.
Right, right.
But, you know, like, maybe you know, you're all a show.
Australian
throw them together
There's some great boys
that are like
genetically blessed
so if people put me in the same
sentence
I'll be pretty happy
there's some nice boys
so yeah
I don't know
those Aussie boys
think I'm near there so
that did make me laugh
it was literally like
the number one suggested
so just to clarify
for all those that Google
I'm not related to
Luke or Chris or Liam
but they're really good fellas
that's great
because I was very nice
that will be
Luke first.
He's the illness.
Yeah.
And that will be out there now.
When that question comes up, this answer will be out there.
Yeah, exactly.
No, he clarified it.
We definitely wrapped it up.
But thank you so much for coming and talking to us.
This is so fun.
I'm so excited for One True Loves.
I am one of those people that like,
when my favorite books get adapted and turned into movies or TV shows,
I get so excited.
Daisy Jones in the Six was incredible.
So I'm sure this is going to be just as good.
you'll be able to go to the theaters to see it.
Yeah, so theater's April 7 and then I think
on streaming on April 14th.
Yeah, and then on demand.
Yeah.
On April 28th.
That's it.
That's how we remember.
That we got from here.
So I hope you go and people enjoy it, really.
I hope you enjoy it as being a fan of it.
Yeah, I'm excited.
Thank you for having us.
