Summary
In this episode, I sit down with Fran Mariano, co-host of the hit podcast, Chicks in the Office, to hear her takes on the latest pop culture moments. We dive deep into the Summer House drama, whether the new seasons of Love Island are worth the watch, a debate on Off Campus vs. Heated Rivalry, and why we’re both unashamed romance readers. Fran also talks about her career journey at Barstool, building her show with co-host Ria, and why their sister-like dynamic works so well. Plus, we put Fran to the test with a celebrity guessing game of "Who The F Is That?”
Key Takeaway / Points:
Going from Barstool intern to co-hosting her successful show, Chicks in the Office
Why her co-host, Ria, is like family and being women in a male-dominated company
Fran’s love of pop culture and how she is a fangirl at heart
A breakdown of the Summer House reunion part two
Favorite TV shows: Off Campus, Heated Rivalry, Summer I Turned Pretty
Why SMUT/romance novels are the best (and not because of the writing)
Love Island USA vs. UK
Coloring confessionals: TV boyfriend obsessions, her Nick Jonas fangirl moment, and dream podcast guests

| 0:25.2 | okay i have to say people are like very very excited for this |
| 0:28.6 | that makes me a lot of overlap like yeah definitely i think maybe the jersey the philly sports |
| 0:34.5 | yeah i don't know what it is but there seems to be a lot of overlap between our communities. Same age range, kind of, you know? Yes. Well, they're really pumped for this. So I know we typically like get into some deep show in the show, but I really just want to have fun. I'm in. I'm in the mood to have fun, and I want to choo-chat. |
| 0:54.6 | My favorite. |
| 1:10.7 | There's so much going on right now in pop culture, and we're going to really try our hardest to edit and get this out in chicks in the office fashion. We don't have the team, but we're going to make it work. I don't know how they do it. I really don't. Like they've just always done it and I'm blown away. Okay. |
| 1:11.7 | Like I never have at once asked them like, how? I don't know how they do it. I really don't. Like they've just always done it. And I'm blown away. Okay. |
| 1:30.3 | Like I never have at once asked them like, how? How? Because they just do it. Okay. Well, that was my question for you. How? Yeah. But we're going to try. I want to just set this scene before we get into everything. What is the date today? It's Wednesday, the third, that we're having this conversation. |
| 1:32.7 | Honestly, just because you need to know, timelines. |
| 1:35.6 | Timelines are important. |
| 1:40.1 | But I feel like with anything pop culture, that's why I'm fascinated by how fast you guys turn things around, even though you have to. |
| 1:41.5 | But you can say something and it can be completely irrelevant in two two days exactly that's our biggest issue and like always the biggest hurdle |
| 1:49.0 | and which is why our team is so good we're turning things around so fast because they have to too |
| 1:53.0 | and they hate it when something happens right i mean even on monday we recorded monday morning |
| 1:57.3 | we record monday mornings and the episode comes out wednesday like later in the afternoon. Yeah. Sorry, Monday later in the afternoon, same day. Insane. And insane as someone who does back in. We recorded about Taylor Swift, like, leaving this paper trail of Toy Story song. And we like finished recording and then at 2 o'clock it was like here's the name of the |
| 2:18.4 | song and everything we're like shit I know and you just miss it and that's going literally as fast |
| 2:23.6 | as you yeah that's as humanly can yes like yes there goes the thing but I think we're fine and you know |
| 2:30.5 | what also the other thing is we're in the Jersey studio so if you hear this like wind tunnel it's you know what? Also, the other thing is we're in the Jersey studio. So if you hear |
| 2:34.6 | this like wind tunnel, it's, you know, it's just pretend you're at the beach. Exactly. It's a nice ocean breeze. It's like we're, you know, at home. Again, we don't have the poor team. Dealing with an AC that you like aren't quite sure how to control.
