Do We Need a How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days Sequel? + Love Island USA Reunion Could Be a Letdown
August 26, 2026
AI Summary
5 min readOn the Wednesday before a long weekend, the Chicks in the Office team opened the episode with a harrowing, unplanned story: the previous day, Ria’s sister Gia had an Uber Eats delivery driver refuse to hand over her food, then assault the security guard who intervened. The guard, Dan, ended up in the hospital with a broken rib and a collapsed lung. What made the situation surreal, Ria noted, was that the rest of the team was in Chicago roasting marshmallows around a campfire while this was happening back in New York. The driver, wearing a helmet and shin guards, was arrested. The internet, predictably, spun the incident in bizarre directions, with some people blaming Gia or suggesting it was staged. Ria was exasperated: “It’s crazy to see when something goes viral… people have spun it in all these different directions.”
The episode then pivoted to its planned segments, covering entertainment news, listener voicemails, and a trivia game.
