Story 4: Noah Cyrus & Frankie Jonas's 'High and Sad' Collaboration

At 52:54 · chapter starts 49:14

The fourth story is the one Claudia didn't expect to love: Noah Cyrus — Miley's little sister — and Frankie Jonas — the bonus Jonas — have released a new single called 'High and Sad.' Noah wrote about how Frankie is the only person who understands what it's like to grow up as the overlooked sibling of a megastar, and the song reflects that shared emotional truth. Jackie has followed Frankie Jonas's solo music career enough to know he's genuinely talented — 'his voice is insane' — and questions for the hundredth time why the Jonas Brothers haven't absorbed him. Claudia plays the snippet on air: it's folksy, slightly gospel, warm and surprising. Both hosts agree it sounds like nothing else in the current music landscape. Jackie notes the visual resemblance to a young Miley and young Nick Jonas, adding another layer of nostalgic charm to the project.

Alannah is Gonnah: Thursday, June 25th, 2026 · Jun 25, 2026 Music

Noah Cyrus and Frankie Jonas have released a new song called 'High and Sad,' and Jackie and Claudia are genuinely impressed. Both describe feeling like underdogs in their famous families — Frankie as the excluded Jonas brother, Noah as Miley's little sister. The song has a folk-gospel sound that sounds like nothing else out right now.

Rico has already appeared in Den of Thieves, Den of Thieves 2, and Roadhouse alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Dave Bautista. Jason Statham is developing a specific role for him. Working alongside elite actors taught Rico something about himself: the emotional suppression that makes him a great fighter is exactly the material that makes great acting — if he learns to stop pushing it away.

Trump's RFK Jr. Roadkill Joke at the Correspondents' Dinner

Berlin Islamic Terror Suspect Killed, Troy Jackson’s Aborti… · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Trump joked that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. personally ran over, butchered, and delivered the evening's beef tenderloin to the dinner — then topped it with a punchline about RFK wanting to serve raccoon roadkill as an appetizer. The crowd's laughter at jokes targeting his own administration signaled a rare night of good-natured self-deprecation from Trump.

The Thor Audition That Changed Everything

Alan Ritchson · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Alan Ritchson walked into a Thor audition with his sides still in his hand, half-assed it on a spotlight-lit stage before two silhouettes in a dark theater, and bombed so completely that the casting director broke protocol to call his team. The feedback? He had no craft. That one sentence sent him to acting school — and changed the trajectory of everything.

Buying a Tesla Before He Booked the Job

Alan Ritchson · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Alan Ritchson walked out of his Titans audition so sure he'd booked the lead that he called his wife and told her he was going to buy a Tesla. She said he hadn't booked it. He went and bought the car anyway. His instincts were right — he was offered the role — just not the one he wanted.

Reacher: 56 Million Viewers, One Character

Alan Ritchson · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Reacher drew 56 million global viewers in a single week of Season 2. Alan Ritchson points out what makes it unusual: unlike ensemble shows, almost all of that visibility lands on one person. It's an anthology with a rotating cast built around a single titular character — and the scale of it is something even he calls unprecedented.

Motor City: The Silent Film No One Could Get Made for 15 Years

Alan Ritchson · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Motor City has no spoken dialogue. Every major leading man in Hollywood — Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, Adrian Brody — was attached at some point. It was greenlit nine times. The concept was simple: Greg Silverman wanted a film everyone in the world could watch with the exact same experience, regardless of language. Alan Ritchson read the script and called it a masterpiece.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on Fame and Gratitude

Alan Ritchson · Jul 27, 2026 TV & Film

Working with Arnold Schwarzenegger showed Alan Ritchson what 100% recognition looks like. People feel Schwarzenegger before they see him — like a meteor approaching. Alan's wife wants a strict no-photos policy around family. Arnold stops for everyone. The contrast was a master class in how gratitude should manifest when fame is inescapable.
