Speaker 1 (0:10) Trust no one and accuse everyone in Who's the Bad Guy, the official Barstool Sports social deduction game from the brilliant mind of Nick Teraney. In what's quickly becoming the most popular new party game around, players are secretly assigned unique roles with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys, and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay hidden. Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases, with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, el presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy, and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic, and ridiculously fun. Who's the Bad Guy is great for parties, pregames, family gatherings, or groups who just love deception-based games. Game night will never be the same. Shop now on Walmart.com. Speaker 7 (0:54) What's up everyone? It's Chicks in the Office with Rhea and Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Monday. Happy Monday. It's another dreary day. No Rhea. We got Gia today. Hey. Gia's here with me. Rhea is moving. Her big move. It happened so fast. She's coming to the big city. Yay. So she is in the like. deep in the process of going through all of that. So I have Gia here. Thanks, G. Thanks for having me. It Speaker 4 (1:27) would have been really funny if you had Rob Lowe. It would Speaker 7 (1:29) have been really funny if I had Rob Lowe. Unfortunately, Speaker 4 (1:31) Rob Lowe Speaker 7 (1:33) didn't answer my call. Speaker 5 (1:35) Mom would have loved that. Speaker 7 (1:37) Oh, yeah. She would Speaker 5 (1:38) have Speaker 7 (1:38) preferred Rob Lowe Speaker 5 (1:39) over me. She would have preferred Rob Lowe over you for sure. Speaker 7 (1:42) She's like still mad at me for that. She's still sending me clips of him. either from this show or from other shows because he was also just on Watch What Happens Live. And... Good Watch It Happens Live guest. He was like, I don't want to plead the fifth. He was going to answer all these questions. Speaker 5 (1:59) I feel like he's always willing to spill the tea. Yeah, he Speaker 7 (2:01) was. And guess what? We have Tiffany Thiessen on today's episode. We interviewed her last week. And when we brought up Rob Lowe, she turned into a schoolgirl too. She was like, oh my God, I love him. Because she was also saying that he was a little bit older than her. Like while they were coming up. You know, Saved by the Bell was like early 90s. He's like an 80s heartthrob. So she was like obsessed with him too. I mean, Speaker 5 (2:25) he's like the OG. I feel like he even has like my generation too. Because we all like watched The Outsiders like in like seventh grade. I Speaker 7 (2:32) watched St. Amel's Fire and then it was all over for Speaker 5 (2:34) me after that. Speaker 7 (2:35) But just a few housekeeping things to kick off the episode. It is a Monday, so we're in our just organizational mode. Getting through it all. Rhea put up a poll on her story last week, which then also was up on the Chicks in the Office story, asking if we should move around the timing of our Wednesday episodes so that we could recap Dancing with the Stars Wednesday mornings and then have that episode come out Wednesday. Therefore, you don't have to wait until Friday for the Dancing with the Stars recap. Overwhelmingly positive, it seemed, that that was what people wanted us to do. That is what we're going to do. Yeah. So now our Wednesday episodes will be coming out later in the day. It will be similar to the timing of our Monday episodes, I would say. Speaker 4 (3:20) Yeah, it should be very similar. That's Speaker 5 (3:21) a Speaker 4 (3:21) you question. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It should be like, I don't even want to promise anything. No, no, no. We Speaker 7 (3:25) don't need to. No, because, you know, you never know. It's like Monday. Speaker 4 (3:27) It's just exactly like Speaker 7 (3:28) Monday. Speaker 4 (3:28) You never know Speaker 7 (3:29) with us. Speaker 7 (3:31) Next is please get tickets to tour. Our tour tickets are out now. Indianapolis sold out. Shout out, Indy. Shout out. Big, big one for us. But we will be in Grand Rapids, St. Louis, Phoenix, Denver, New York City to close out in December. All of those dates are on sale. Link in the bio, link in the description. You can get those tickets. I am doing a book talk with Christy Carlson Romano next Monday. It's October 5th. It's at the 92Y. If you're in New York City, you can check that out. You can go to Christy's Instagram. She has all the information to get tickets. I'm really excited about that. I'm really excited to... She's sending me the book. I haven't gotten all of it yet because, my God, it took me so long to finish Calamity Club, which is what we're talking about this week. That's Speaker 5 (4:21) why Speaker 7 (4:21) I'm out Speaker 5 (4:22) of it right now because I Speaker 7 (4:23) have Speaker 5 (4:23) to stay up until 3 a.m. to finish it. To try and finish this book. Speaker 7 (4:27) And you can... Catch that whole discussion on same page book club. Gia also launched a new show last week, which is very exciting. Girl Meets Album. Speaker 5 (4:40) What are you doing about? What's the show? Tell everybody. So it's once a week on Fridays. It's just on the tube. On the tube. Yeah, not yet on podcast. I have to figure out how to get that set up if I want to make it into audio too. But I kind of like that it's just like a YouTube show. Speaker 5 (4:58) One album every week. It's going to be like mostly I pick, but obviously I take into account like what people want to hear and could be old album, could be a new album. Yeah. And then that's kind of it. And then I kind of just break it down, relate it to my life, talk about the tracks, give my opinions and things of that. Super Speaker 7 (5:22) fun. The first one is already out. You did Olivia Rodrigo. Yes. And I always mess up the title of this album. You seem pretty sad. Speaker 5 (5:28) You Speaker 7 (5:28) seem pretty sad for a girl. So in love. So in love. Yeah. I was like, you seem pretty sad for a girl in love. I always forget this. So in Speaker 5 (5:36) love. Yeah. I always Speaker 7 (5:38) forget this so in love. Yeah, Speaker 5 (5:38) which is like one of my favorite albums this year. So super fun to talk about. The best album Speaker 7 (5:42) of the year. And I don't know if anybody's going to come close. Speaker 5 (5:45) Yeah, I agree. I mean, maybe Noah Kahn, in my opinion. Yeah. I agree. I think she has it in the bag. Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind. No, Speaker 7 (5:52) I was telling Gia about the trivia question, which is on, which was last week's episode, of these three songs have hit 300,000 streams. Speaker 4 (6:02) I was like, that can't possibly Speaker 7 (6:03) be the question. 300,000 streams? Speaker 5 (6:05) That's like the first day it probably came out. Speaker 4 (6:07) Probably like in the first hour. Yeah, literally. Yeah, Speaker 7 (6:10) and he was like, Noah was like. I don't know. This is what it says. I was like, maybe Speaker 4 (6:15) she's bigger on Apple. I don't know. Speaker 7 (6:17) This is what it says. So you can check that out on Girl Meets Album, YouTube. Yes, Girl Meets Album on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok. I'm on X as well, Speaker 5 (6:28) but I don't know. I've never tweeted. Speaker 7 (6:31) I'm Speaker 5 (6:31) too scared to tweet out that Speaker 7 (6:33) I have a new show. So fair. Speaker 7 (6:38) don't look at it at all anymore, really. I Speaker 5 (6:40) only look at Twitter, like, for Taylor stuff, obviously, but then, like... Speaker 7 (6:44) Because people are... Yeah. That is when I learn stuff. And I do like to see the discourse because it always cracks me up because it's, like, one tweet is... Could be so far one way and then the next tweet's, like, hilariously the other way. Speaker 5 (6:55) Yeah. There's a Speaker 7 (6:56) lot to discuss today. Speaking of Olivia, she did kick off her tour in Speaker 4 (7:01) Hartford, Speaker 7 (7:02) Connecticut. This weekend. Speaker 5 (7:04) That's where it Speaker 4 (7:05) was? Yeah. Is that funny? What a strange first stop. I Speaker 5 (7:08) know. Maybe it was like no tea, no shade to Hartford, but maybe it was like, let's just get this one out of the way. Speaker 4 (7:12) I was just in Hartford with Trent for a concert and there's not much in Hartford. Yeah, Speaker 7 (7:17) no. There's not. Speaker 5 (7:19) I've been there. I Speaker 4 (7:20) went to tour University of Hartford. Speaker 7 (7:23) Yeah. Speaker 5 (7:24) Sad campus. I think it's Speaker 4 (7:27) a Speaker 5 (7:27) lot of commuter. It's a commuter school. Speaker 4 (7:29) Hartford, I think, was the first college I got into. And I was convinced. Every time I got into a college, I was convinced I was going to Speaker 7 (7:34) that college. Speaker 4 (7:34) You Speaker 7 (7:34) could ask Speaker 4 (7:34) our Connecticut Speaker 7 (7:34) queen, Sarah. Speaker 4 (7:36) Yeah, Sarah knows. Speaker 7 (7:38) She's like, does it spend a lot of Speaker 6 (7:40) time in Hartford? Speaker 7 (7:42) I'm sure it has good things. Okay, all I know is that the concert looked amazing when I saw it was Hartford. I went, oh, fuck, I should have gone. I was like, oh, my God, Hartford's not that far. And I'm sure a lot of people from the lower New York area, too. Yeah. Or higher, I should have said. Like that Westchester area and all that. Our cousin was there. I was so jealous. Who? Cameron. Oh, shit. I didn't even see. Yeah, she posted Speaker 5 (8:07) on her story. I was like, God Speaker 7 (8:08) damn. Damn. Speaker 5 (8:09) I got Speaker 7 (8:10) to Speaker 5 (8:10) keep up with our cousin. God. Yeah, I was Speaker 7 (8:12) so jealous. I saw Speaker 5 (8:13) a lot of influencer girls that I know that were there. I feel like Speaker 7 (8:17) to kick it off makes a lot of sense. But it was probably, what day was it? Saturday? Friday? Speaker 5 (8:24) Whatever? No, it was Friday. No, Friday, Friday. Speaker 7 (8:26) That's why I was at Harry. Yeah. And Gia texted me at midnight and was like, you seeing these videos? We gotta go. When is she at Speaker 4 (8:33) MSG? Speaker 7 (8:34) She's not doing MSG. She's doing Barclays. Barclays, Speaker 5 (8:37) yeah. Speaker 7 (8:38) You know Barclays? I don't know. They must be paying the big bucks. Barclays is Speaker 4 (8:42) really nice. I've never gone for a concert. I've just gone for basketball. And I Speaker 7 (8:46) don't know. Sometimes with timing, you never know. She's doing like 10 nights at Barclays Center. Yeah. Speaker 7 (8:52) That's a little bit trickier. I'm more just like, well, that's not until February. And it feels so far away. And after seeing the videos, I'm like, I want to go tomorrow. I know, Speaker 6 (9:01) I Speaker 5 (9:01) know, I know, I know. But we were looking at like Philly. Yeah, there's some close by places. They're Speaker 7 (9:06) more Speaker 5 (9:06) expensive Speaker 7 (9:06) because there's less shows. Speaker 5 (9:08) But yeah, like everything. The Cigarette Smoke rock remix. So good. Maggots for Brains. The outro of that song. She like did a little new thing. Yeah. The dress melting in the rain, bro. Like, I gotta get my ass to her. Speaker 4 (9:23) I feel like she's a big bring someone out, too. Like, bring a special guest out. Yeah, and, like, someone cool, too. Maybe at Barclays Center or something. Yeah. Speaker 7 (9:33) I Speaker 3 (9:34) can see her bringing out, like, Speaker 5 (9:35) Stevie or, like, Alanis Morissette or, like, an iconic. Or Speaker 4 (9:38) what's his name who's actually on the song? Robert Smith. Yeah. Speaker 7 (9:42) Which. Speaker 7 (9:44) Would be so cool. But no, I really want to go. I wonder if she'll do, you know, Phoebe Bridgers just did a bunch of shows at Barclays Center and they did the no phone thing. Which is so interesting to me. Where was I? Like, I don't even know where I was that she was going to Speaker 5 (9:58) tour there. It was Speaker 7 (9:58) Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Speaker 5 (10:00) No phone. She brought out Boy Genius, Lucy Dacus, and Julian Baker. They did, like, a bunch of songs that I love. But, yeah, no phone. So, like, people were like, I swear it happened. Speaker 7 (10:09) Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Harry's supposed to prove Speaker 5 (10:11) that you were there. Yeah, Speaker 7 (10:12) I know, I know. Well, because even, like, the entertainment reporters that were there reporting on it, it's like, just, hey, you Speaker 4 (10:18) got Speaker 7 (10:18) to trust me that this happened. Are you Speaker 4 (10:20) allowed to bring in, like, A video camera? No, no, nothing. Nothing. Like a camera, like a digital Speaker 7 (10:25) camera? Speaker 4 (10:25) If you came from Speaker 7 (10:26) work and like had your laptop, you had to lock out of it. You Speaker 4 (10:28) couldn't bring like a disposable? Speaker 5 (10:30) No. Speaker 4 (10:30) No, nothing. That's crazy. You're allowed to Speaker 5 (10:31) bring Speaker 4 (10:31) like a Speaker 5 (10:32) pen and paper to write down what happened. Yeah, literally though. Speaker 7 (10:37) I saw Speaker 5 (10:37) pictures from it. It looks really nice. How? Speaker 7 (10:40) Well, like her team. Her team. Her team, like they had like a professional photographer. I know. I actually did see one of my friends who was there. post like an official, like maybe Barclays Center had posted it. And it's like only proof that I was here and saw this. Which is so true because it's, you can't be posting, but I mean, it has to be a really cool concert going experience. Totally. I think about the ones that I went to where like, they did that for us. Where we had to put our phone, we couldn't bring our phones into the Jonas Brothers launch first night at the box. We couldn't have our phones. When? They did like a surprise thing at the box. Oh. Oh. And it was no phones. Speaker 5 (11:30) The Jonas Brothers performed at the box? Uh-huh. Damn, they do crazy stuff. Speaker 7 (11:34) No crazy stuff. That was when they were just coming. It was when they were just getting back together. It was all happiness begins stuff. I Speaker 5 (11:44) don't know if I've ever been to a no phones Speaker 7 (11:46) show. Have you ever? Have you, Noah? Speaker 4 (11:51) I don't think so. Yeah. I don't think so. Speaker 7 (11:53) I get a lot of credit because it feels very hard to pull off. I was literally just Speaker 5 (11:57) thinking that. And I'm Speaker 7 (11:58) curious if, I'm curious if, because there was. I Speaker 4 (12:02) feel like it's way more common with comedy shows. Speaker 7 (12:04) Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely. Yeah, that's true. Definitely. For sure. I wonder, because in the statement that they put out that they were doing this, there was like a. Speaker 7 (12:15) oh, and if you do have an emergency or something, like there are designated like phone areas. Yeah. And I wonder if there was just like a bajillion people in the phone area to be like, oops, got to check my phone. Yeah. But how do you even know you have an emergency? Speaker 4 (12:31) It's like if something happened with like a family member or something, you wouldn't know. Speaker 7 (12:34) No, I know that. It would be your own emergency. I think you just have to like really, really buy into it. You know, if you're going, you got to buy into it. Yeah. I mean, I think it's lame if you're like. Speaker 5 (12:42) go into a no phone show and you're like, I need to go on my phone. Don't go there. I'm just thinking about Speaker 7 (12:47) the teenagers that actually don't know how to function without their phone. These teens, Speaker 5 (12:52) they could use a little Phoebe Bridgers with no phone. I would appreciate that. The thing that Speaker 7 (12:57) got me was like, hey, bring a credit card or something, some other form of payment. Yeah, there's no Apple Pay. Because you can't do tap to pay. I was like, oh shit. Good points. Speaker 5 (13:05) What is Speaker 7 (13:05) this? The 1600s? Oh my God, I can't tap to pay? I'm not getting any merch. I'm Speaker 5 (13:14) not Speaker 7 (13:14) going. Yeah, that's funny. No, it did look so fun. We actually both were at Harry Styles this weekend. Yes. I was going to say, you guys Speaker 4 (13:20) playing your outfits today? No, we also Speaker 7 (13:22) did this last night. We watched the VMAs together, too. We've been really on the Speaker 5 (13:27) same outfit grind recently. Speaker 7 (13:29) We have. Gia came to her birthday party. We're the same outfit. We're the exact same outfit. As Speaker 5 (13:33) a birthday Speaker 7 (13:33) girl, so embarrassing. Speaker 7 (13:36) Go home and change. But it was cute because it was like a, it was the same vibe, but like different fonts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Different fonts. I was wearing boots, you were wearing sandals. Yeah. Same color palette. Yeah, Speaker 5 (13:49) same vibe for sure. Speaker 7 (13:50) I went Friday night with Joe and then we got, like, we were with the brand, we were at TSW, it was so much fun. They gave us a gift bag at the end of the night and we all got... the like jerseys, which was sick. And Joe was wearing it yesterday and he was like, wait, this is awesome. They're like rugby jerseys. Like Speaker 5 (14:13) short Speaker 7 (14:13) sleeve. Yeah. They're very cool. Very cool. And Joe was wearing his on Sunday. Gia came over to watch the VMAs. She was in her sweatshirt and I was like, oh my God, FOMO. So then I put my sweatshirt on and now we're both. And then I remembered, I actually got this one from London after the London show. Speaker 7 (14:31) So I kind of like hadn't been wearing it a lot and that reminded me that it's a great sweatshirt. Yeah, it's really Speaker 5 (14:37) good quality. I Speaker 7 (14:38) wanted to put it back on. Yeah, it is a good one. Mine is Speaker 5 (14:40) the MSG exclusive. Yeah, Speaker 7 (14:42) yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 5 (14:43) I love an exclusive merch item. I know. If you're playing Speaker 4 (14:49) somewhere for 30 nights, you've got to make exclusive merch. Speaker 7 (14:52) Yeah, that's true. Well, the New York jersey is in Knicks colors, too, so that's why Joe really liked it. Yeah, Speaker 5 (14:57) yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 7 (14:58) It's blue and orange. It was an absolutely epic show. Yeah, it was so. So I went Friday night, you went Saturday night. He wore pants on Friday and little short shorts on Saturday. I Speaker 5 (15:09) could not. I told TJ before, I was like, I'm just going to pre-apologize for the person that I become. Yeah, Speaker 7 (15:15) yeah, Speaker 5 (15:15) the screech that Speaker 7 (15:16) comes out. Oh my God. When he came out, Speaker 5 (15:19) I Speaker 7 (15:20) literally was like, I'm going to throw up. Speaker 5 (15:22) Those Speaker 7 (15:23) shorts are so short. He loves those short shorts. Oh, Speaker 5 (15:26) he was so cute. Speaker 7 (15:28) So really adorable. And I'm so pissed I haven't seen him around New York City yet. Speaker 5 (15:33) All you gotta do is walk the Brooklyn Bridge. I Speaker 7 (15:35) was Speaker 5 (15:35) gonna Speaker 7 (15:35) say, you gotta go on the Williamsburg Bridge. Speaker 5 (15:38) Yeah, the Brooklyn Bridge. Just walk it every day. Speaker 7 (15:41) My Speaker 4 (15:41) brother Speaker 7 (15:41) sent a TikTok of him right on, basically on my corner the other day. Oh. He was on the, yeah. He was in Chelsea. Wait, Speaker 4 (15:47) your brother's song? Speaker 7 (15:48) No, no, no, my brother sent me a TikTok of someone else. Speaker 4 (15:50) Yeah, Speaker 5 (15:50) yeah. Speaker 4 (15:50) Did you see that TikTok of this girl who was like walking in front of him and Zoey on the Brooklyn Bridge and didn't realize it? Yeah, I did see that. They were kind of hiding behind her and then they ran into her again another day and then he just gave her tickets. Yeah. Speaker 7 (16:04) God, that's a dream. I actually watched like an entire, it was probably almost a 10 minute TikTok of this girl talking about. meeting him in a coffee shop last week i saw that tiktok too i watched the whole thing and i was like oh my god guys and you know i i she was it was a story she was a storyteller yeah she was very i would have done the exact same thing and she was cool as like you don't you don't ask for a picture you gotta be cool about it that but she was cracking me up this random girl you Speaker 4 (16:31) wouldn't ask Speaker 5 (16:32) for Speaker 4 (16:32) a picture Speaker 7 (16:33) I would ask for Speaker 5 (16:34) a Speaker 7 (16:34) picture. I actually really don't think I would. I Speaker 5 (16:37) don't know if I would because he's kind of known to say no. Speaker 7 (16:39) Yeah. He'll be like, oh, actually, no. I've seen Speaker 4 (16:41) multiple times in New York him going like this. I know. I just Speaker 7 (16:46) wouldn't be able to handle that kind of rejection. I think it depends on what Speaker 5 (16:48) mood he's in. Yeah. If he said no, I think I would just start crying. Oh, Speaker 7 (16:51) my Speaker 5 (16:51) God. Speaker 7 (16:51) It'd be brutal. For my own Speaker 5 (16:53) ego, I would understand why, but I would just be like, oh, my God, I can't believe I did that and I'm so embarrassed. I know. Speaker 7 (16:59) Why did Speaker 5 (16:59) I ask Speaker 7 (16:59) that? I'd much rather be able to have a cute little like chit chat. Yeah. Which it seems like what he did with this girl. But she was funny because she was like, I don't know why I said this. Being like, you got a show tonight. Speaker 4 (17:12) Wait, that's what she said? Speaker 7 (17:13) Yeah, like, well, they were like chit chatting and then there was like a pause and she was like, you got a show tonight. He was like, yeah, I do. Speaker 4 (17:21) That's true. Do you think his team is like... worried that he's just walking in the streets alone, like with no security. I Speaker 7 (17:27) don't think so, because it's not like anything's knock on wood has ever happened. People kind of Speaker 4 (17:33) know his spots now that he's been here so long. It's like, if you wanted to go see him, you could just wait on the bridge. Speaker 5 (17:37) Yeah, Speaker 7 (17:37) but that's so weird. Speaker 5 (17:39) You have to have a mental illness to be like, I'm going to wait on the bridge every single day until Harry sells it. There Speaker 4 (17:44) are Speaker 5 (17:44) a lot of Speaker 4 (17:44) people with mental illness. Speaker 7 (17:45) For sure, but my guess is it's his call. So it's like, if... he ever gets to the point where he feels like unsafe then he won't do it. I feel like New York Speaker 5 (17:56) is like one of those cities where people kind of respect. But he does it in London. Speaker 7 (17:59) He does it all over. He loves the guy loves being outside. He can just run away. Speaker 4 (18:05) He Speaker 7 (18:05) runs Speaker 4 (18:05) marathons. So fast. Was it not him who said he got like mugged in London or like wasn't that him? Well I mean anyone can get mugged in London. Our brother got mugged. You can get Speaker 7 (18:16) mugged anywhere. Speaker 4 (18:17) Yeah. Your brother got mugged. Speaker 5 (18:19) Yeah, in Italy once. Yeah, in Italy. So I feel like anyone can get mugged. It doesn't matter who you are. You just got to live your Speaker 4 (18:25) life. I Speaker 7 (18:25) don't remember Speaker 4 (18:25) that. Yeah, remember he was mugged at Knife Point in London. Speaker 7 (18:29) Oh. Speaker 4 (18:30) Walking around. But see, Speaker 7 (18:31) there's the thing. That's like not because he was Harry Styles. On Valentine's Day in 2020. You know? Like, I don't think it was like a target, oh my God, that's Harry Styles. Like, he was just, that was wrong place, wrong time. Speaker 5 (18:41) Unfortunate timing. Speaker 4 (18:41) The men approached him calmly and offered to sell him marijuana. When he refused, they surrounded him and pulled out knives. Yeah, yeah. Damn. That's Speaker 5 (18:48) terrifying. Speaker 4 (18:50) You don't want my weed? Fine, I'll stab you. Speaker 5 (18:52) That's Speaker 7 (18:52) crazy. That is crazy. The shows were amazing. Yeah, oh Speaker 5 (18:57) my God, so good. Speaker 7 (18:59) So fun. They're just, it's great energy. And it was very cool seeing it in London versus MSG because Wembley is so huge. So I'm like, oh my God, one, there's not a bad seat. Two, if you're in the pit, you're so, the pit's so small. Like all the little areas are so small. Yeah. Which does crack me up because my God, these girls line up. I Speaker 3 (19:24) know. Speaker 7 (19:24) At the crack of dawn. To go into MSG or whatever it is, they got their own wristband system, then they got the real wristband system, and then everybody's working together for who's going in first, last, the whole thing. When in reality, you could walk into the pit at 8.30 p.m. and be in a great spot. You might not be Barricade, but you're like five rows of people back from Barricade. I Speaker 5 (19:50) wonder if it's just like, you know, in the rite of passage as a fangirl. to do it. It's Speaker 7 (19:54) like, they Speaker 5 (19:54) just, yeah. It's like, I have it. I want to be right on the edge. Speaker 7 (19:57) The Speaker 5 (19:57) thrill of Speaker 7 (19:57) camping. And my God, you know, he does, he loves chatting with people. So it's like, that's probably what drives you. It's like, if you can be right in his face, Speaker 5 (20:06) that's, Speaker 7 (20:06) you have the best chance of him talking to you. I Speaker 5 (20:09) felt like my seats were almost better than like the pit seats. Speaker 7 (20:13) Yeah, yeah. Speaker 5 (20:13) Because I could see everything. You Speaker 7 (20:15) could Speaker 5 (20:15) see, no for sure. If you're on one, if you're on like the disco side, you can't see anything going on on the kid's Speaker 7 (20:20) side. Yeah, you can't Speaker 5 (20:20) see the other side. Ipso facto. Yeah, Speaker 7 (20:22) so it's like, A little bit higher up, you get the bird's eye view of everything that's going on. Yeah, it's kind of Speaker 5 (20:27) nice. Speaker 7 (20:28) But he's just so funny. I love when he chit-chats with people. Every Speaker 5 (20:31) time he ran by or stopped in the area, I'd be like, oh, he's looking at us. Speaker 7 (20:37) I don't understand how people can talk when Speaker 5 (20:39) he starts talking to them. Joe Speaker 7 (20:40) was cracking up all the ladies in the box because every time he would stop, Joe would turn around and be like, oh, he looked right at me. Speaker 7 (20:50) And we were up higher, so it was funny because obviously not looking right at us. And he's just like a comedian. He loves making jokes. He called out two girls that were very close to each other that were wearing the same shirt. I saw that clip. That was so funny. Same top. Speaker 5 (21:04) Yeah, he's like, nothing's worse than when you think you got a brand new top Speaker 7 (21:07) and you're going out Speaker 5 (21:08) to a party. It's like, oh, no. Speaker 7 (21:10) And you guys don't know each other? They're like, no. And he's like, oh, the Speaker 5 (21:13) worst. Yeah, so funny. He did that with. two girls were wearing or were holding signs that was like I broke up with my boyfriend and now I'm at the show with a stranger and I guess she like met this they're like both Harry fans whatever and he was like what's this guy's name and she was like Garrett he's like Garrett what kind of name is that Garrett like saying it in an American accent it was so funny he's like Garrett's a bum and he's like give it up for Garrett Speaker 7 (21:42) and everyone booed it was so funny Speaker 7 (21:46) You get some good laughs. He's very Speaker 5 (21:49) funny. Oh god, he's just the best. And then he does a 10 minute DJ set. Speaker 7 (21:55) Like Speaker 4 (21:56) boiler room DJ set. Speaker 5 (21:57) I feel Speaker 4 (21:57) like I've seen mixed reviews on that in terms of audience. I Speaker 5 (22:01) liked it. I Speaker 7 (22:01) think it really Speaker 5 (22:02) depends on Speaker 7 (22:02) if you like house Speaker 5 (22:03) music or like Speaker 7 (22:04) techno. Speaker 5 (22:06) It's also Speaker 7 (22:07) he does it It varies in length every night. Sometimes he goes on a little longer. I felt Friday night he didn't even really do it for that long, to be honest. Oh, Speaker 5 (22:15) really? Speaker 7 (22:15) I Speaker 5 (22:15) don't know. He was feeling himself. He was doing Speaker 4 (22:17) the DJ face. Did he hit the high note on Sound of the Times for you guys? Speaker 7 (22:22) I believe Friday night he was singing in the... This is a conversation I see Speaker 4 (22:25) online. I Speaker 7 (22:26) think on Friday he sang in the true key. I don't remember. And I did actually... Told myself to Speaker 4 (22:33) remember. Speaker 7 (22:35) Sometimes you can't even tell Speaker 4 (22:36) because there's like backups. I know I did. Speaker 7 (22:38) Yeah. Speaker 5 (22:40) I Speaker 7 (22:40) certainly know I was singing in the original key. Yeah, Speaker 5 (22:45) legit. I Speaker 7 (22:46) think he did. Speaker 5 (22:47) I can't remember though. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was singing in Speaker 7 (22:50) the original key. And I like that Speaker 5 (22:50) he throws in some old songs too. Like Carolina, Kiwi. Oh my God, when he Speaker 7 (22:54) sings Kiwi, I thought the whole place was coming down. Yeah, yeah, it was awesome. The ground shakes. Speaker 4 (22:59) Is it different set list every night or no? Speaker 7 (23:02) No, it's pretty similar. He's kept it pretty similar. Yeah. Except for maybe like a couple changes. I know he like opened. One night he did. Speaker 5 (23:11) I know he did Sweet Creature one night. Yeah. Speaker 4 (23:14) That's the thing. One of the best songs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 7 (23:18) That's the Speaker 4 (23:19) first song that I got into. I mean, obviously, it was like his first single. Yeah. Speaker 7 (23:22) My husband, being a new Harry fan, on the way there, he was like, all the songs that he likes are, you know, he's like, does he do Cherry? And I'm like, no. Yeah, he Speaker 4 (23:31) should have come the time we went to see the Fine Line concert. Does he do She? I'm like, no. Wrong tour. Wrong Speaker 7 (23:36) album. I know, but just because he's just discovered these songs, he always thought he wouldn't like it. And then when I finally was like, actually, just listen to Fine Line. When we Speaker 4 (23:46) saw him with Stevie Nicks at the LA show, it's like, Joe would have loved that show. Joe would have loved that show. Joe Speaker 7 (23:52) would have loved that show. Yeah, he would Speaker 4 (23:54) have. Speaker 7 (23:55) That's Speaker 4 (23:56) up there for me. Speaker 7 (23:57) In terms of best concerts? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 5 (24:00) He puts on an amazing, amazing show. He did Speaker 7 (24:03) that front to back. It was the fucking coolest thing ever. He did Fine Line. Speaker 5 (24:06) It was the Fine Line. One night only. One night only. Speaker 7 (24:08) And he's like, this is probably the only time I'll ever do this. Start to finish, Fine Line. Damn. And brought out Stevie Nicks. Yeah. Wow. Speaker 5 (24:16) We did One Night Only for Harry's House and that was fucking awesome. Yeah. Speaker 7 (24:20) Actually. He did As It Was like five times. I actually did that twice. What? Back to back albums. For Harry's House we went to One Night Only when he did it at UBS. Yeah. That was epic. I always want to say USB when I'm talking. USB Arena. Right. No. UBS. Yeah. That was also really cool. So cool. He's just the best. He's an Speaker 5 (24:43) amazing performer. He really is. Speaker 7 (24:45) You're going again, right? Yeah, October Speaker 5 (24:48) 16th. Speaker 7 (24:49) When does he end? Is it Harry Ween in the last shows? Yeah, I think so. Speaker 4 (24:53) Oh, he's ending with Harry Ween? Speaker 5 (24:55) Yeah, it's somewhere around that time. That would make sense because Saturday was the halfway point. You Speaker 4 (25:01) should Speaker 5 (25:01) go, Noah. Speaker 7 (25:02) It's so fun. Speaker 5 (25:03) I went Speaker 4 (25:03) to his last tour. This one I just think is not as... Also, my like... Jake Bass isn't here so we went together last time which was just objectively hilarious but I'm not going alone. But also like yeah I just don't think like this tour is I'm Speaker 5 (25:21) not like done. This Speaker 4 (25:21) album maybe wasn't your Speaker 7 (25:22) fave? Yeah. Yeah that's fine. I kind Speaker 5 (25:25) of feel the same way like this album wasn't my favorite but it was still so good. He's just such a good performer. But like by Speaker 4 (25:31) hearing it's like he doesn't play like a lot of the songs that I want to see him play. Yeah yeah Speaker 7 (25:35) yeah. No Speaker 4 (25:36) that's Speaker 7 (25:38) very fair. he's just such a great performer. Multiple times. Joe was having so much fun. It was so funny. He was just like, okay, first of all, sexiest man alive. Oh Speaker 4 (25:47) yeah, the last show was on Halloween. Speaker 7 (25:48) Yeah. And then he was like... top five he was like at least top ten of performers by Speaker 5 (25:57) far by far he just really like it's so and then the the whole stage setup he's just oh he's running yeah so like it's very energetic and it's so funny because Speaker 7 (26:07) there's all these like terms in the jam band world for people like joe is such a like Fish, Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, Billy Strings. Those are the shows that my husband is going to. Joe and I have Speaker 4 (26:22) very similar tastes. Very Speaker 7 (26:23) similar. Half the time when Noah's like, I'm going to a concert, I'm like, Joe's going to that too. And the way that the girls were dancing in the pit and jumping around and where there's areas and doing the circles. And he was like, oh, this is the same. It's like the floor of like Dead & Co. That's Speaker 5 (26:44) funny. Speaker 7 (26:44) Everyone's like holding hands and jumping around in circles. Yes. Speaker 5 (26:48) Instead of being on hard drugs, though, we're just high on girlhood. Yeah, literally. Speaker 4 (26:54) High on Harry. There's Speaker 7 (26:55) a Speaker 4 (26:55) fair share of people on drugs. For sure. Speaker 7 (27:00) Definitely Speaker 4 (27:00) not the same percentage, probably. Speaker 5 (27:03) Definitely not the same percentage. No, Speaker 4 (27:05) definitely Speaker 5 (27:05) not. But I feel like maybe, and even like if you know the vibe of this show. It's a good one for Speaker 4 (27:10) drugs. Because this is probably what it was like when the Grateful Dead were, like, in the 70s. And then, like, 40 years from now, you guys will be, like, there will be kids being, like, oh, like the Harry Styles, like, old fans who just, like, dance. Yeah, Speaker 7 (27:23) yeah, yeah. God willing, he wants to keep doing it. Speaker 5 (27:26) Oh, God, yeah. It doesn't really seem like it. I Speaker 7 (27:28) know. After this, it does seem like he wants to have a break. That's okay, though. Speaker 5 (27:33) Oh, Harry. It's okay if you need a break. Yeah, he'll come. Speaker 7 (27:38) True artists like that, though, I don't think they can stay away for long. I think they can do it, but I don't know. Then he kind of clarified Speaker 5 (27:45) and he was like, I don't mean I'm going away permanently. I just need a little bit of a break. Speaker 7 (27:50) I think he wants to be a dad. I'm just getting that vibe from him. I'm getting the vibe from him holding all these babies. All I'm seeing are pictures and videos of him holding babies. And I'm like, I think he's getting the itch. And all Speaker 5 (28:01) he does is talk to pregnant women in the crowd. Speaker 7 (28:05) Yes. Yeah, so. So if Speaker 5 (28:07) you're pregnant, get your Speaker 7 (28:08) ass to a Harry Styles Speaker 5 (28:09) concert. No, seriously, he Speaker 7 (28:10) loves talking to you if you're pregnant. And if you're not, everyone's making signs. It's like, it's not my birthday. I'm not pregnant. But like, please talk to me. Seeing Lenny Kravitz in the Speaker 4 (28:18) crowd was pretty funny. Yeah, that Speaker 7 (28:19) was sick. Speaker 4 (28:19) So cool. That was Speaker 7 (28:20) really cool. Lewis Capaldi was there Friday night when I was there. He was vibing as well. I was like, you don't want to come up and sing a song with him? Speaker 4 (28:28) That'd be awesome. Voice of Speaker 7 (28:29) an angel, Lewis Capaldi. Speaker 4 (28:31) John Mayer's in the city this week, so I'm on Harry Styles' watch for bringing him in. Oh, shit. Speaker 7 (28:36) For what? Speaker 4 (28:38) There's a, you know Buddy Guy? He's like a famous legend. He was in Sinners. Yeah, I was Speaker 7 (28:43) going to say he's at the end of Sinners. That's him Speaker 4 (28:44) at the end of Sinners, but he's like a legend. But he's doing a 90th birthday celebration at Radio City on Thursday, and they're having like, Tedeschi Trucks band's going to be there, John Mayer's going to be there, Eric Clapton, like everyone's there. Speaker 4 (28:59) But tickets are. I was going to say tickets have to Speaker 7 (29:01) be Speaker 4 (29:01) astronomical. Trent and I were like, to sit in the very back row is over $1,000. Wow. Yeah. But anytime I know there's another celebrity who's like friends with Harry in the city, I'm like, he might bring him back. Speaker 7 (29:14) He hasn't done it. Speaker 4 (29:16) He hasn't brought out any Speaker 7 (29:18) guests. He hasn't done it at once. God forbid the show is just the show. Not in Noah's mind. In Noah's mind, he's like, who could they be bringing out? Speaker 4 (29:28) Tedeschi Trucksman brought John Mayer out the other day. I don't know if you saw this. Speaker 7 (29:31) No. Speaker 4 (29:32) And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? Was it in New York? No, it was in Texas at Eric Clapton's festival. Speaker 4 (29:41) That's my dream. Yeah, the Speaker 7 (29:43) festival, that's where they'll get you. Festival is where they'll get you. Festival is actually where I do expect someone to bring a guest out for a surprise. Because you're Speaker 4 (29:53) all Speaker 7 (29:53) there. The pickings are all there. You could be like, hey, want to do this with me? But damn, that is your dream Speaker 4 (29:59) collab. He has a big announcement today. We don't know what it is yet. Does he have a Speaker 7 (30:04) countdown on his website? No, they have Speaker 4 (30:06) posters up in all the cities. Ooh, new album maybe? He said there's definitely new music, but this looks like a tour. Speaker 7 (30:13) Ooh. Okay. Yeah. Buckle up. Noah's going back on tour. I wonder who he'll bring out. Yeah, who will be his surprise? John Speaker 4 (30:21) Mayer, I don't care. He's the one guy I don't care. He's the one guy I don't care. Yeah. Speaker 7 (30:24) That is so funny. All right, let's get into the rest of the show. We have our VMAs recap. Like I said before, G and I watched the show together. Some ups and downs, to say the least. Yeah. Taylor Swift released the encore, which had everybody up in arms once again, as it does with any Taylor release time now. And Sabrina Carpenter and Margaret Qualley were announced to be joining the Fred Astaire biopic starring Tom Holland. That was announced this weekend. We also have the Weekly Watch Report and a great interview with Tiffany Thiessen. So let's get into it. Speaker 7 (31:03) We have always talked about this, but the Skims fabrics are top tier. They are truly one of a kind. I love all their cotton fabrics. I've been wearing the cotton everything, especially now as there's a little chill in the air. You want to be cozy. When it comes to cotton basics, nothing beats Skims. The Skims Cotton Jersey Scoop Neck Cammy is honestly the best that I've found. It hugs in all the right places while still feeling soft and comfortable. I wore this cammy while traveling to LA last week. under a sweatshirt and it's just like the best cami it is so comfortable it gives me some support i don't have to like wear a bulky bra or anything with it it's so good but if you also do want to wear a bra it's amazing because it fits really nicely over the skims bras which are the only bras that i wear is the only bras that i enjoy wearing because i think they're the best ones out there you can shop the skims cotton and all of our favorite pieces at skims.com after you place your order be sure to let them know that we sent you sludge podcast in the survey and be sure to select our show that comes in the drop down menu after.

They started a little bit late because they were also on CBS and the Rio NFL game was on. And thank God, you know, the Ravens got the ball back with like, what, seven seconds left or something? And they... We're able to kick that long field goal and therefore end the game. Or else we would have had to wait for a full overtime period before the show would Speaker 5 (33:49) have Speaker 7 (33:49) started. That Speaker 5 (33:49) would have been brutal. Speaker 7 (33:50) It was funny because I didn't even realize it was on CBS. So I'm on MTV and I'm like, Donnie Wahlberg is just talking to me. Did you see that? All Speaker 4 (33:57) day long on CBS they were like plugging it. So I'm like, I guess it's on CBS. Yeah. Speaker 7 (34:02) My thing was I... I was watching Red Zone commercial free. But it's not commercial Speaker 4 (34:09) free. Yeah, but Speaker 7 (34:10) well, there's only a couple. Speaker 4 (34:11) But Speaker 7 (34:11) they weren't plugging the VMAs. Like I didn't see anything about the VMAs on that. So like I went to MTV and Donnie Wahlberg was just like. Talking about past Vanguard winners. Speaker 5 (34:22) Yeah, they must have done like a pre-taped Donnie Wahlberg just in case the game goes over. And Speaker 7 (34:28) then like the ticker on the bottom was like, the VMAs will begin shortly. Like VMAs will begin shortly. And then I realized that, oh, it's because the game was still on. So I guess they started on time actually there. Yes. Like it really did start at 7.30, 4.30 p.m. Maddie, Sarah, and I. And you could see. Speaker 4 (34:49) In Getty. All the pictures were there before it happened. Speaker 7 (34:52) Yeah. You know, that was very interesting. Yeah, Speaker 5 (34:55) it was Speaker 7 (34:55) annoying. Speaker 5 (34:55) I Speaker 7 (34:55) was like seeing like... Gia was looking at that too. I Speaker 5 (34:57) saw like that Dakota Johnson introduced Taylor like before it happened. And I was like, oh, why am I seeing spoilers for the VMAs on my freaking Twitter? Speaker 7 (35:06) Yeah, yeah. Because it was already going on. Yeah. But... Speaker 7 (35:13) Snoop Dogg was our host. Didn't have to do too much. It was a fairly quick show, all things considered. Usually is. Yeah, yeah. They Speaker 5 (35:21) really don't, like, present that many awards at Speaker 7 (35:23) the awards show. Speaker 5 (35:23) No, they don't. I think they only Speaker 7 (35:24) did, like, four. Yeah. And I think Best New Artist is the only one where the person doesn't know they're going to win.
