Things are about to change around here. Each week, we catch up with Hollywood's hottest girl posse, Kelty Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jack Vanek.

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the Lady Gang. I'm Becca Tobin here with Jack Vanek and Kelty Knight. I'm so excited to be here. I have the greatest good week of all time. May I please go? We have to have the music come now. Well, I mean, I guess it's time for Good Week. Yes, it is. Bad Week.

Oh, no. Okay. So I went to go see the – I'm so – you guys, I have been waiting to tell you this story. Okay. Oh, my God. Okay. So I went to go see the RuPaul show in Vegas, which you guys know how I feel about the church of RuPaul's Drag Race, right? Yes.

Like never more excited. And so I went the night before to see the show, and I was going to interview everyone the next day. so i get in my chair and the usher is like okay here's your seat and i'm with two i brought a friend and then like a producer and we we're like about to sit down and this girl goes that's not that's not your seat and i was like yeah no no i think i have 13 yep i'm 13 4 right here yep this is this is me and she goes that's my boyfriend's seat and i was like i i don't think so like this is the ticket and the usher showed me here like do you have your ticket we dropped our ticket in the casino floor i was like okay well let's try to see meanwhile it's opening night rupaul's already

on stage i'm being so rude because i'm fighting with this woman over the seat and i was like and my producer's like these are seats we're sitting here so we sit down she picks up her cell phone calls i don't know who and goes into her cell phone and goes you better hurry up because there's a ratchet bitch in your seat oh my god were you the ratchet bitch yes and she was like there's a and so loud like the whole there's a ratchet bitch in your seat and i'm gonna have to move her out of it it myself if you don't hurry up and i was like first of all we're at the flamingo which is like not known for its like high chicness level of chicness okay like i know who gets the 39 99 rooms at the flamingo and i'm so happy for rupaul and i loved my stay there but i'm just

letting you know like we're not at the fucking cosmopolitan okay it was lovely hashtag sponsored hashtag never sponsored but anyway so then she so then hold on but then it turns into that that was my bad week well that was my bad week is that i was like so uncomfortable i was like i'm so mean to rupaul like this feels so uncomfortable so then i'm sitting there i'm sitting there and she's like and then she just will not stop like this isn't your seat she's standing it's not your seat and she's looking at me so it's like a table like this where the stage is there and you sit like sideways so she's right across from me and i'm like oh my god my god my god so then finally there's like a drag queen where you are becca like there's a drag queen

and his boyfriend comes and takes the seat or her boyfriend comes and takes the seat beside and they're and he's whispering like oh there's a problem with the seat whatever and she's like these are our seats so then all of a sudden the dude the boyfriend that sits down looks over and he's like he's like oh what what were you and she goes 13 a four five and six and he's like oh this she was in the wrong seat the whole time no oh no so she had to stand up good for her take your ratchet bitch sassiness stand up and go to the whole other side of the theater and i did not even look at her i just had this like giant boom clap fan and i just went i'm sure she's a bitch did she not realize there was a whole empty table you know how like

sometimes there's like an a side and a b side she was at the completely wrong end of the thing but like so aggressively like i think she should have been fine she didn't apologize she just got up and i was just like you know sometimes you dig yourself in such a hole that there's no coming back if you're gonna go there you better be damn sure you're right do you know what i mean it's like i'm all fine for me not breaking the rules and stealing your seat but you were incomplete that's it who's next oh wow um my good week i recently went skiing with my dad in keystone and we drive dad's relationship with you thanks he's the best so we're like pulling up to the parking lot and we go park our car then we have to like put our ski boots on like

all the shit so as we're putting our boots on this car pulls up next to us and it's two super hot bro guys like big beefy bro hotties that are like around my age and i look at them and they're like jamming out to some music and i'm like i wonder what these guys are listening to they're like playing air guitar they're like doing the drums like all this shit and for a while and finally they open their door it's the fucking greatest showman soundtrack that these two like adults men were they doing it seriously yes and they fought they opened the door and i like look at them and i laughed like this movie's so good no just two guys that's it Two straight, hot bros.

I love them. It was very pure. It is a great movie, guys. You know what? I haven't seen it because I don't watch movies, and I didn't know what it was at first, so I shazammed it because I was like, this sounds like a musical. This is so weird. And I shazammed it, and I'm like, oh, my God.

This is the best moment of my life. That's so weird. Pure. Do you see him again when you're shredding the gnar? I didn't see him on the slopes. I also have a boyfriend. But that would be a great time to meet somebody. Like at your wedding.

You love Hugh Jackman? me too such a nice guy are you a nice guy the greatest show what was your bad week okay bad week um so we did record this episode before our good week bad week today yeah and it really reminded me of something that i saw recently that i forgot about until we had this conversation about feet later on in the show yeah there is a tv show on tlc called my feet are killing me And it's basically the Pimple Pop, Mr. Dr. Pimple Popper for feet. Podiatrist. And it's like a foot doctor, podiatrist that just fixes all of the shittiest, most disgusting, distorted feet.

And that is my personal hell would be me sitting. Who would watch that? Clockwork Orange watching. It's like watching Pimple Bomber. Who would watch it? It's so satisfying. There's something that is satisfying about watching pimples being popped. Have you ever been getting the pedicure and they're digging out the ingrown toenail?

and like they get it so satisfying i don't i feel it's satisfying in the way of pimple is no it's in a different way you got it you got it yeah yeah yeah yeah okay my good week is that a girl messaged me on instagram i rarely check the messages that aren't people that i follow like occasionally i'll pop over there to see if there's a brand that wants to send me something i love checking i love checking the request oh i don't like I don't like reading those so but I did decide to read one one day because she wrote me she said I need help naming my dog she's a girl please respond with a girl puppy name if you have time I think Kelty is a great puppy name

TBD if she uses it but I just got such a kick out of it like I don't even know if she watches if she's a lady gang fan or like a glee fan I'm hoping she's like a glee fan that's never listen to the lady gang you know the thing is kelty kind of is a good dog name there are a lot of dogs named that's what i'm saying well because it has the e at the end which is good for dogs right like callie yeah they do say that you're supposed to give a dog a name that ends in e because they answer quicker it's been so great doing the lady with you guys and i'm sorry it has to end this way but i gotta go i have new friends okay so my my good my new dog friends I got to go hang out with Kelty the dog.

I got to go hang out with Kelty the dog. My bad week. I kind of talked about this on Brad's podcast that Jack and I recorded. But it's important to say that I am so sick of getting invited to events in L.A. that are a workout class, like for a brand. So people are doing this new thing that I need them to stop doing. and they think it's like groundbreaking now to throw an event that's a workout class so like back in the day they used to have like come to the rooftop at the mondrian like around the pool

we'll mingle we'll have drinks some drinks for the brand yes like whatever the brand is but now it's like this makeup company wants you to come take pilates with them at this studio and i'm like I don't know if anyone enjoys going to a like an event that's a workout like I want to go I want to not wear makeup I want to sweat I want to not talk to you and then I want to get in my car and then I want to go home you know we threw an event that was a workout yeah it was not the right choice I did talk about this on Brad's podcast how it was the worst day of my last year I loved that I you loved it I hated it but like we were hosting it and also I'm pretty sure that Like, it wasn't really our idea to do the workout.

Right. And it was fun. We had a fun time. Yeah. But, like, now. In general. We were trailblazers. That was what I was going to say.

That was before every week. The first time it had ever happened. I get, like, five emails a week about a workout plan. It's just an odd choice. It's because, like, everyone's, like, healthy in L.A. And they're, like, they don't want to drink at night. So, maybe they'll come drink green juice and do Pilates. No, I won't.

That's my nightmare. I hate an event and then add a workout to said event. That makes it ten times worse. It's such a bummer. I need brands to stop doing it. So there's my PSA. Who's coming up? We're so excited about this episode.

Becca talks a lot of housewives. We'll be right back. Now back to the Lady Gang. Our guest today is a writer, comedian, content creator, and host of his very own podcast, Everything Iconic. His Instagram is known for its famous memes, videos, and, of course, my favorite, Jessica Simpson-themed Thursdays. He's also co-written a best-selling book with Vanderpump Rules stars Ariana and Tom, teaching people how to make a fancy cocktail. Please welcome to the show the hilarious Danny Pellegrino.

Hello. Holy shit. Are you part of the Pellegrinos? Not like of the famous water company, no. Are you part of the family? Bummer. My own family, yeah. It's such a bummer.

I know. People ask me that. Sometimes, because I think it's very distant, maybe there's some connection. You need to do a family tree. You need to DNA test that shit. What's that one you can mail in? 23andMe. Right, I need to do that.

Do they want to tell me that, though, in there, would they? No. Ancestry.com, they really get into it with you. I need to do it. Do it. I'm the second 85th person in line for the sparkling water fortune. Move over, Paris Hilton. It would be good to know who you have to kill to get that money.

I know. I'm not getting any of that money, that's for sure. But I have to say, you mentioned Jessica Thursdays, and just before I came in here, I was like, You guys were – I didn't come in here and I was reading her memoir. Yes. And I was, like, upset when they were like, come on in. And I was like, oh, damn, I have to put the book down. How is it?

It's, like, so juicy. I mean, I'm barely into it, but it's good. I just read a headline. Of course, I didn't read the whole article because who does that? Something about Nick Lachey was sort of throwing some shade at the fact that he's, like, never read it and never will. No. What is it? What?

Yeah. Is that true? Well, he – no, so him and Vanessa, they're on a press tour right now. for their Netflix show. Oh, idiots. And so it's like perfect timing. Hoda just did an interview with Jessica. And then Nick and Vanessa were on the Today Show

like two days later or a few days later. And so Hoda said, Jessica told me that you guys sent a gift when she had her kids. They did. And Nick and Vanessa were both like, what? Like, we didn't do that. On TV? It's like the most awkward.

Why would you say that? I knew I hated them. I knew I think that was the nail in the coffin. No, because that's rude. I don't want to lie. Just go along with it, right? It makes you look great. But you know what?

I know, but the lie would catch up to them, though. No, it wouldn't. And then she'd be like, they should have just been like, we love and support her. Nick seemed guilty, though, because he like sort of grabbed her hand. He's like, you know, like it was very body language. Well, my favorite Jessica Simpson, I believe that I saw it on your page, is it's nick and jessica and vanessa when she was the host on trl bone chilling and nick is doing a throw with vanessa to his beautiful wife who's singing on the stage

because she used to host trl and so they would always do interviews together always on the tree oh yeah i mean it's like if you go on youtube like the footage you can find and also vanessa something's going on with her because did you guys ever see the uh photos of her and lindsey lohan no back in the day back in the day there's these knife photos with lindsey yes yes yeah yeah we all forget about that i always forget that it was her right right weren't they putting like the knife up to their tongues it was like shit like that kind of like sexy night photos very troubling they were definitely on like massive something was happening for sure probably cocaine people forget because now she's on like hallmark and lifetime right and we forget that she had the

knife photos so many bad girls back in the day bad girls i will say about jess power to her i love a celebrity memoir when they save up a lifetime of team of shit like she didn't put this on the record she didn't put it in a ad campaign for jessica simpson at macy's shoes i mean thank god why would she do that there's so much there's been coming to macy's jessica is addicted to alcohol or whatever. But it's like, but even,

she's drunk by 9.30 a.m. In a platform. 7.30 a.m. Oh, right. She talks about that in the first chapter of the book. She talks about drinking at 7.30 a.m.

She has to grab them. It's shocking. So far, it's shocking like what a person of her nature is willing to say in a book.

Yeah, and yet she never discusses her creepy dad, right? She kind of like, I mean, she dabbles in the book a little bit. It's the first thing

everyone says when you're like the Jessica Simpson book. They're like the dad. Papa Joe. Joe trying to cover up those boobies when she was 12. That will give you issues. Do you remember the MTV interview when he's like,

we just didn't know what to do with them things. I was like, that's not actually how you make a girl feel good about her body as it's changing in puberty. But in 2001, no one was woke like that. It was a different era. It was a totally different time. But you look back on all of these girls like Brittany and Jessica and stuff, And it is so sad and it's heartbreaking to know what they went through.

And a lot of times I feel like we get like trickle down information where it's like we heard this little story. But so it's interesting to me that Jessica, who was in that kind of position, is revealing all this stuff. How would you compare it to the Taylor Swift documentary? You know, I love I like the Taylor Swift documentary, but it wasn't. You didn't learn anything. There wasn't a whole lot that I learned. I learned a lot, but that's maybe because I wasn't a fan. Yeah.

I liked her a lot in it, though. and I respected her her politics and everything I thought was great it made me I left the documentary being like I like her more

me too but I just didn't feel like I got a lot of like juice yeah they filmed it they just didn't air it you know they must have gotten

for sure but she owns those that footage yeah unlike her music she's still on the point in her career where it's like

I don't know if she it'd be good for her to release too much information she's not at memoir yet she's not quite there but I like the documentary I thought she was great

I want to give Dani and Becca, you know, an open three minutes to talk about Housewives. Oh, I thought you were going to say Glee. I was like, I'm ready to go. Oh. We could do that, too. Because Jack and I are not, we are not watchers of Housewives. We make that, we bring a lot of Bachelor people on. And so I want you guys to have your moment.

Well, I will say you can't do both. Like, I've tried to do both. Like, I'm sure I love Bachelor Nation. And every time I've dipped in, I know I would love it. But it's just, there's no, I don't have the time for it. Because Housewives is so good to pick up everything. Do you know why I'm so anti-Bachelor? Why?

Because they recently, just a couple, last night, they're like, we're going to be showing you all three hours. Three hours. Three fucking hours. But the reason is that they're- And then, don't worry, we won't cut in for the Iowa caucus. No, no, no, no, no. The reason why-

Because we know you don't have fucking brain cells. The reason why they said they were doing the three hours was for the caucus, but then they didn't show any of it at the end. So it was just three straight hours. So they just wanted to brainwash America. They were going to jump in and jump out, but it was f***ed up anyways. There's no results still. Yeah, so there was no results.

I'm good with just one hour below deck, and then I can move on. That's what I need, or housewives, whatever. Let me breathe. Let me pee. Right. And I watch them without commercials. It's 40 minutes without commercials. So good.

Okay, what's your favorite franchise right now? New York's my favorite housewives franchise. I think New York is just, it's on a different level. Iconic. It's so, so good, right? And I think one of the most interesting things about it, which I tend to say all the time, But it's like where else on TV are you finding women over 50 who are dating, having sex, getting divorced, they're starting businesses, even in the script. Yelling at each other.

Yelling at each other. There's great, wonderful drama that's like so fun to watch. But then also it's like not even in scripted programming do you get to see women, a group of them, without male leads doing these things. It's like a pretty amazing thing. So New York is my favorite. I think those women are all funny on their own. And I would love to – I can watch them just like packing or being – same doing any sonia morgan i could watch you brush your teeth every day 100 for an hour they're

so so funny um but i love all of them i think potomac had a really great season this past season atlanta's always good and they all have like kind of a different flavor uh and i appreciate that like you could put on new jersey and it's like got the italian stuff that i recognize i'm italian and i recognize those characters um and then beverly hills is is much kind of slower paced But then there's, like, it's all these surface-level stuff, but then there's stuff bubbling under, if that makes sense, which is so Beverly Hills. So Beverly Hills. It really is. Also, how do you feel about Tamara leaving Housewives?

I think it was good in time for her to go. Yeah. But. Did you notice she just kept getting naked? Because you could tell she was worried she didn't have enough drama to keep her on the show, so she just, like, kept getting naked. Did she get kicked out? I would do the same thing. Those blurred-out boobs.

They always had a blur mark. Every time. I could trace them. And if a police investigator asked me to trace them, I could do them by memory. And her thong. I've seen it so much. By memory, I could do it. Because it's like they showed every two seconds.

It's like Tamara's getting in the pool naked. She looks amazing. She's got a lot of mileage out of that new body. I'm glad. Those blurred out boobs every five fucking seconds. Get it, girl. Okay, BravoCon. You went.

I went, yes. It was wild. Tell us about it. Yeah, what the hell is it? Because I think we should send Becca as our special correspondent next year. I would desire. It is so fun. I can't even.

I would be so starstruck. I wouldn't know how to operate. It was crazy. I hosted a few panels. I would be back in the green room, and that's where all the Bravo, they call them Bravo Leberties. Because they are. That was the most fun for me.

You'd see someone from one show talking to someone from another show. It's all incestuous. And I'm just, like, looking at it, like, so excited. How do you feel about Vanderpump? I love Vanderpump. You do? Yeah. Okay.

The last season was bad, I thought. I don't even know if I watched the last season. I don't think I watched the last season. Oh, no. What happened in the last season? Yeah, nothing. Brittany got married? Stassi got engaged.

They're kind of in a weird spot right now where it's, like, they're, even this season, they're bringing in a lot of new people, and I really think they should split off into two shows. Like, they should have, the OGs, or the people who were in the original cast, they all are growing up they're getting married and moving until they move to the valley yeah and i think they should do their own show because it's not the same as we we also want to see the messy young bartender yeah you don't need to pull like a 19 year old into their jacks's 45 year old life he's not 45 he's like 40 he's over 40 oh you know i like to up the age a little bit she does it to you every year i'm 85 jesus christ not that there's anything wrong with being 40 but it is when you

think about the difference when you think of vanderpump rules you think young messy kids and he's older than women who are on housewives yeah and people are invested in these kids these people's storylines floundering now are you friends with any of the Vanderpump people like are you friends with these people well he wrote the book for Tom and Ari

I co-wrote the book with Arianna and Tom so you wrote the book no I mean it was interesting I will say that they wrote every it's a recipe book so they came up with every single recipe I didn't write a single I didn't come up with a single recipe

I was just yeah did you help with like the copy to make it funny I came up with the concept and then

the there's like little stories with each recipe so I would interview them and I'd say tell me a story

about this drink and then I would go and organize all the recipes write it all down we made a major misstep by not having him

ghost write our book you guys are doing yes our book comes out in June too late well here's the thing if you can help

us make like a one word edit because that's all we're allowed to do now yeah we're done what do you mean Like, you know, when you get to the end where they're like, it better be one word in every 10 pages that you want to change.

Like, change a to the and that's it. But I will say they tell you that and there's always room. I know. We've already really pushed the opposite. We've really, like, for instance, Kristen's book, Kristen Dowdy. Yeah. Comes out on the exact same day as ours. She already has a cover.

It's up for pre-sale and she's sending her galley books out. We don't have any of those things. No, we just finalized cover. Like yesterday. Literally. how do you like the cover we love it well i did it so wait so i have a question did you find when you thought about doing a book did you think it would be this much work does that make sense oh let me just tell you she didn't want to take you down a little trip okay okay well there's three

of us so everything we do we have to split three ways that would be money the most important thing we split three ways it sucks so we're like talking and we have a lot of opportunities coming in our direction and we we usually take votes on like is this worth it is this worth it whatever we've never done anything as big as a book like that's not like hey do we want to do this event you're outnumbered you got to put two hours in and call it a day no it's do you want to write a fucking book so i was like listen i will write the book but here's my bottom line and if we don't get that we're not writing the book okay money wise because all i care about is money so we're like okay okay all right because kelsey's dream is to be a new york times bestseller might get crushed

this year it's not getting crushed i'm already making a thermometer to keep track of ourselves anyways in the office anyways they were both like we really want to do this really i'm like fine it's gonna suck but like let's see if we get the number we didn't get the number and so i'm like yes not doing it not doing it and then they both came to me and they're like we really just really want to do it what if we only ask you to do your parts in the book mind you your parts in the book it's like we each have like 75 pages of our own like fully our own and i'm like okay fine but i'm doing nothing else still i've still done a lot because not as much i don't think people realize like how many words are in a book like that sounds so stupid no it's true you know when you hear

like if a publisher goes to you and say says uh it needs 60 000 words yeah right for a traditional book yeah is about 60 000 words and that doesn't sound like that big of a number but if i encourage everyone to sit down and try to just write like a thousand and then try to do six and make it good yeah yeah and make it interesting i will say though i just danny i want to tell you something as a fellow best-selling author um in the company of best-selling authors to be um you will get there but i will also say that new york times isn't based on numbers which is weird but we like the algorithm yeah but i will say this is that our i've read a lot of shitty books which is what back to the jessica simpson she goes there she tells me a story she shocks me

so we had very high bar for this book it couldn't just be jessica simpson it couldn't be just but i mean it's not i'm drunk at 7 30 well actually well mine is yeah so you know anyway drunk at 7 30 in the morning no i mean we go there we go there but no one cares because we're not jessica simpson right people are gonna be like cool groundbreaking i bet people you're tied to a bed wow who are you aren't you interested in the becca's big break on glee i'm like yeah she knows i'm a big i watched every episode of that show okay yeah i love you i think people will like it though but it's just a lot of book is like so much work but i knew that yeah i knew that i've still enjoyed the process oh really you almost had a breakdown an hour ago an hour ago she's like

crying in the corner she's like i can't open this email i can't my cries yeah you liked it yeah no i loved it no back to danny wait one more question about your book when did you when did the book deal come like when did you start when did you finalize the book deal we've only been like six months that's no that's not true no it was like in february of last year we started writing the book this time last year yeah yeah yeah see that's a while yeah i was just gonna say yeah it also takes so long yeah well since you are a pop culture aficionado we're going to have a mini Danny version of Allegedly What's Happening, which is our Hot Topics.

And so we've already checkmarked Jessica Simpson. But I want to get your take and the ladies' take on a lot of other things that are happening in pop culture. This is your world. Also, by the way, you mentioned Hot Topics. I love The View. I'm obsessed with The View, so I feel right at home.

There you go. This is our own version of The View. Hot Topics. Okay. The Bella twins are pregnant at the same time. You know, I find these two interesting. They have carved out a really good niche for themselves and my boyfriend used to love their show uh is it still on the east show bella twins total bellas and i would kind of catch it peripherally and i was aware of it and i liked when john cena would appear um but i find them both night they seem

lovely and nice and i but it's weird though to get pregnant together right it's it's very odd i don't think it's weird i would love to have been pregnant with my sister Yeah. Because it's like you can really commiserate. No, but it's not weird, but the odds. The odds are fucking crazy. I thought that they did IVF. I don't think it's crazy.

Did they do IVF? I don't know. No, I think if you're fertile people and they're both fertile women, you can literally be like, hey, we're going to pull the goalie this month and then. And twins play by their own rules in general. Yeah, they have like their twin brains. I feel like they're different kind of brains. Like they operate on a different level that I don't understand and I don't think any of

us will ever understand unless you have a twin we love a twin little wayne was on the mass singer on sunday night and got kicked off right yeah he was i could not believe it when they pulled that robot head off him i know you guys don't watch it it's fine i watched the end of last season okay i watched all of last season so becca i was like you should do mass singer and she's like no way she might be doing it you wouldn't do it how would you know anyway don't you think she would be so good yeah would you ever do it never never she was like only losers don't think no i didn't say i didn't say losers i said you have to either be a massive celebrity star in some other like place in entertainment like football player or a like basic no nobody

but didn't i am a nobody am i am i incorrect didn't patty labelle do it yes she's like a little some would say pastor yeah i don't i don't think your your reasoning is not making sense it's truly not making sense which is why i wanted to bring this up low wayne cover let danny say what i was gonna say that maybe you're ahead of the game because i i do feel that with the max mass singer in about a year ish we'll look back on it and say what were we all thinking like dancing with the stars now the casting for that is like my neighbor i can't like my neighbor so maybe i would agree with becca that maybe she should not do it because in six months eight months 10 months i think we're all gonna say what the fuck is that i think we're at like the peak

now this is the time to do it no this is the only time to do it yeah but now it's like it's on its way out though i think but maybe i'm wrong on it i think you're very wrong i think you're wrong i've never seen people be more people love it they love a mystery yeah even dude i hate shows like that like i hate dancing i hate any kind of celebrity competition i got sucked in so bad Because I'm like, who is it? Who is it? Who is it? I'm very proud of Nicole Scherzinger because she's on.

I love her, and I thought she got a great gig out of that, right? She did, and they hired her, like, the day before. She was like, I don't want to do it, and I'm like, please. She's judging everything. She just judged it. They're like, somebody backed out. Get Nicole Scherzinger. Yeah, we need a judge for this.

Make the rounds. Did you see the photo of Miley Cyrus that she posted of her in full, like, bondage lingerie giving cody simpson a haircut with a paper scissor what is this on instagram what's a paper like oh scissors you use on a paper i thought it's not even like a cut out like like computer paper you trace a scissor paper doll yeah i do love this where's this i do love a dramatic haircut yes um and i will say i hate that i'm like i don't know somehow i've turned into, like, Jessica Simpson's PR person or something, which your listeners probably are like,

shut the fuck up, Dani, about this. But she did cut her own hair dramatically with nail clippers in a music video once. Oh, yeah. And so that's what popped in my head. But I think Miley... Can you Google it? Is it on her Instagram?

Is it this one? Yes. Let me see. She looks great. She does look great. I guess the problem is Cody Simpson. Yeah, definitely. He's Cody Simpson.

Doesn't he sort of look like an off-brand Liam Hemsworth? Yes. yeah a little bit enough like a smaller version no he's like an aaron carter to me yeah do you think it was because there was like too hot like it was i don't want to be with someone that hot no no i think it's because he has three brain cells yeah i think he has like demons and oh my gosh i hate myself this is taylor swift is literally gonna take that and put it in the next documentary. No, Liam's going to

if he could figure it out. Liam has demons. Yeah, he will. I feel like Miley has like talked about it in her songs and stuff but like he's had You don't think Miley

has some demons? Oh, for sure. For sure. But she has like Hollywood kid demons and they sit on his arm. Those aren't scary. Those aren't scary.

What are his demons? Didn't you hear that? She came out with a dramatic ballad where she was like he's whiskey and pills. Oh. Slide away it was called

her song. Oh. And it was like really dramatic. That sounds like a fun night. Yeah, he's like he's on whiskey and pills or something.

he's on whiskey and pills yeah so whiskey and pills are his demons can we talk about amber hurd and johnny depp i fell hard last night in a hole can you like catch me up because i saw a headline but then i didn't i just want to let everyone know that this was on my list and i took it off because i thought it was controversial it is i'm not commenting on it i'm not going to say how i feel i'm going to just report the news okay like a journalist like a journalist i'm sure nobody's heard of this by the time this podcast comes out yeah right so there's a recording that surfaced yeah of johnny depp and amber heard post argument and he is saying things along the lines of you punched me and she's like i didn't punch you that's not a punch no she like she's saying

i hit you hitting him she's like i'm not punching him like there's a difference it's a lot it's a lot and i'm like who's recording it was he was but then this is what's so fucking crazy is that you read the headline and you hear the initial thing and you like you're like oh so she's been it's been tit for tat whatever but then somebody else analyzed it and did a transcription and they're like he's gaslighting her like he's recording this knowing that he's gonna release this as proof that she was violent she did all these things and he's like deflecting everything she's saying to him about maybe he got a little rowdy too interesting those two yeah it's i saw a headline and i was like i need a dive i don't know how i feel yeah i mean i guess it doesn't

really matter but did you ever see how this is totally unrelated jessica simpson right so it is This is not as deep, but did you ever read about how on sets he has an earpiece so people will read him the script? Whoa. You know how many people have that? Really? Wait, who has it? Tell me.

Any actor over 45. Really? I mean, a lot. I find that so fascinating. Me too. Yeah, they can't remember lines. Do you have an example that you could give me right now that you can give away? No, she can't do this.

Please. No, but she wants to. But that's actually in cue cards. That's so weird. Like we do on Young and the Restless? Yeah. The whole job is to memorize the line. I know.

But here's the thing is that like my friend worked with somebody who's like a mega male star, like a Johnny Depp caliber, a little older. And he had an earpiece in for every single line, not just like when he went up on the line. Are you talking about Lea Michele and Jon Bon Jovi in the movie New Year's Eve? No, but what a reference. That's just what came in my head. Was she in that with Jon Bon Jovi? I didn't know Bon Jovi was in it.

I remember she was in it. Yeah, she was in it. What movie? One of those movies that has 900 people in it. Oh. New Year's Eve. And I only know this because I literally, I watched it before the New Year. Of course you did.

I'm the worst. But, yeah, her scenes are mostly with Ashton Kutcher. Yeah. In the elevator. Who I'm sure, yeah, who I'm sure knew his lines. But no, like there's, that's like a very common. That's so weird to me though. Yeah.

Okay. But I want to know names now. I'll tell you later. We should get them. But Johnny Depp is allegedly one of them. I mean, I don't completely knock it because it's like as an actor, that part of your job is like 5% of the importance is memorizing lines. Granted, you really should. But if you're that famous and you're known for your performance, then like as long as he's like do it, it's harder to act than just speaking lines.

I mean, there are many people doing that on TV. Maybe they should have an earpiece so that they could stop memorizing so much and start actually acting. Yes. I just can't imagine Christine Baranski or something Like an esteemed actress doing that But maybe I'm wrong There's no way I don't think comedians

More news, Dunkaroos are coming back They're hot Like in the pop culture sphere right now Did you see that I asked them to sponsor the Lady Gang tour? Wait, you did? I mean, they didn't write back Wouldn't that be a great sponsor? Dunkaroos

We could put them in our cocktails They've been doing everything No, it wasn't Dunk. On social media. Oh, it was Dunkaroos. You know what we could have? We'd have them do icing on the rims of our cocktails and then a little cookie that you, like, swing. And have Jessica King and Gru come out for a segment.

Just Dunk. With what cocktail? I don't know. Something milky. Like a white Russian. Okay. Gross. Ew, I hate.

That's the only milk I can think of. I call Mahal drink with milk. Okay, last thing. It's Dani's pick. Dani, would you like to comment on Pamela Anderson divorcing her husband after 12 days? or Jenna Dewan's pregnancy naked shoot

Sophie's choice but I go with Jenna Dewan I've gone through a Jenna Dewan spiral very recently when she just came out with a book and I was very much considering buying it but then I read the reviews on Amazon and decided against it is it the beautifully inspired one right

it's sort of it's like a goop book I saw it in New York where it's kind of like health tips and stuff but radiantly you and she sort of like briefly references channing and like one in something but it's it's just enough that it got out in the press about the book but then there's nothing else in the book about it so that's what the reviewers say and that's what you need you need if you're gonna write a celebrity book jessica simpson it like give me we don't want a goop thing from jenna duan like she's a wonderful

gal it seems like but i don't need i don't need like a self-help advice that's not what you're I'm not aspiring for your life. I want to know what the fuck happened with Channing. Right. That's all. I know. I want to know everything. You know what happened.

I have theories. He has demons, too. Same ones as Liam. Whiskey and pills. I don't know if they're the same, but I feel like he has demons. But she looks great pregnant. She's stunning. She's stunning.

Her pregnant body and those boobies, I'm sorry to judge your body as a fellow woman, but you look hot. It's fine to do that. You look good. She's stunning. She looks amazing. She's hot. I mean, her face is stunning.

I mean, she's like one of the most beautiful people ever. She's got a great face. I have. What do you guys think of Channing Tatum, though? Are you attracted to him? Not ever. Because I am so attracted to him. You are?

I am so attracted. I love a blocky neck and a blocky head situation. Kind of like a potato. No, he's a block head. No, I love it. I have a question. Were you like step up Channing or were you like post-divorce Channing? Well, everyone was step up Channing.

I was never. You weren't step up Channing? No, Matthew McConaughey. Oh, yeah. No, that's Magic Mike. Oh, Step Up I never watched a Step Up movie Okay, but wait a minute, go back to Magic Mike

How could you watch Magic Mike and not be attracted Like he had so Dry humping, so much dry humping You were not attracted to him? I don't like him He doesn't sexually arouse me in the way that others do I'm shell-shocked Do you like him with Jessie J?

Yeah, fine I don't know, I can't get a read on her at all I can't either I will say she's so freaking talented crazy she's very underrated in our country yeah yeah in our country she's big in the uk yeah she yeah she's the christine aguilera of uk yeah i loved i think channing though he's got like a to me he's got like something about him he's very man right like he seems stupid but nice yes every guy i've dated and did you ever see his leaked emails like his

no oh my god sony hack yeah his emails leaked and they were all so nice like they did they have like smiley faces but like out of the colon it's like no it's like how jim carrey tweets like his have you ever seen that no like a serial killer yeah jim carrey's evil so it's not a good well don't say that about my first allegedly well channing's word channing's would be like we won the weekend with like a million exclamation points and he would just seem like sweet wait who's sending that to sony we won the weekend it was it wasn't like i mean it's for the movies who cares no one cares channing it was something nicer than that i don't know if that was the best when we're on the new york times bestseller list bitch you better believe i'm getting an email we made the

list and a million exclamation marks so then i'll put channing tatum we need we need danny to tell us how to make the list yeah how do we make the list oh yeah give us our tips um i i mean i don't i'm not on the list we didn't make fancy af we made publishers weekly made usa today but it's not based new york times isn't based off of numbers what's it based off of um it's based off of like a lot of different they can i mean it's whatever they want if you there's not really you're gonna have to blow someone i know and i will there's no like there's not like there's not a whole lot it's not just numbers so like if you can like publisher weekly for instance they report the numbers for that sales that week and then they determine their list but how many did

vanderpump sell in like the first i don't know what our exact numbers were okay well i can show I'll pull it up later. I want to see. But New York Times, it's not based on that. There's going to be people tweeting them, and we're going to tweet them. I don't think they care about social media. Some people send gift baskets to New York Times. Kelty's the greatest bribery.

I don't think any of that works. I don't know that any of that works. You know what? I will say, here at my work in entertainment tonight, people send me gifts, and it absolutely fucking works. Today, the Masked Singer put out a candy cart, and I was like, I've never seen more joyous people. It was like, it's our favorite show.

We're going to cover it five days a week. You are a psycho. The little things. I think New York Times also does it, they take into account press. So they'll take into account like whether you're on like Daily Mail and Yahoo News. For three nobodies. That's why celebrities always make New York Times bestseller. That's how Snooki made the New York Times bestseller.

Okay. Well, let's not talk anymore about our problems. Let's talk about the girls' problems. I do want to point one thing out just really quickly. you were willing to blow someone to get on the New York Times bestseller and like we basically just did that that's for you don't even make

money from that the rest of us were all like yeah when you get on the New York Times bestseller list I will get a solo book deal the thing with the New York Times it's like such an annoying list though because it is so esteemed like people think of it as oh I'm a New York Times bestseller

and it is frustrating for people that actually sell books yeah it's like yeah it's fresh oh thank god who's your publisher love you random house well they're a great publisher that helps too i think well who are you guys with we're with hot mifflin and they're great too um but yeah like it's the lit there's no real rhyme or reason as far as i know co-written or ghost you've ghost written a lot i i co-wrote another book called the super carb diet with a guy named bob harper who he was yeah he's great um and he yeah we so that was my first one And then I've ghost written other stuff for other people.

But you're not allowed to say. Gag order. I've done like a lot of like ghost writing of proposals and stuff. Did you guys have to do a proposal for it? For what? The book. Oh, the book. We left you out of that part because you don't want to do it.

Okay, when we come back, Dan is going to fix your life. Bye. You're listening to The Lady Gang. All right, now we're back. So for this part of the podcast, we have our girls writing questions and we're going to give them some advice. and we're looking at you all right first question comes from tyler b about two or three years ago i was talking to a guy i knew from school we were kind of getting together but nothing ever happened we'd flirt at social gatherings and message like we were a thing but nothing more fast forward to

us both almost being 21 and i'm skipping through tinder and i match with his identical twin brother twins holla he's being very flirtatious and i used to get along with him really well and find him attractive is it weird to pursue this i no longer have any feelings for his brother who was happily in a relationship so should i start something with his brother hot yes yes yes i think it's weird you do i think it's so weird they never even kiss find a new guy i don't know i think like he is a new guy he just looks exactly like the other guys he's the same are they identical or are they not identical identical twin brother we didn't tap into a resource that we have right here in this room.

Oh, yeah. She's a twin. Alex is a twin, our producer. Alex. You cannot anybody I talk to like this.

Right. See, I agree. Oh. Off limits. Yeah. It is kind of gross. What if you were ready to have a baby?

You're like, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready. Would you be like, hey, Chloe, do you want to do this together? It would be really cool.

It would be cool. I would totally do it if I was a twin. It's like on Father of the Bride 2 when the mom and mother and daughter are pregnant together.

Get out of town. remember that's the best the best yeah they weren't twins but they were mother daughters can we have another father of the bride movie please preach into the choir i want it so bad make it i know um but i i think it's weird you all think it's normal the answer is it's it's fine except for danny says it's not the next question i think it's fine for them and i think it's weird but the thing is i think it's fine for the person that's pursuing that's not yeah the twins can duke it out yeah the twins can duke it out own issues okay new second question comes from anonymous I recently moved from Newfoundland to Toronto, found a job that I love, and I'm making amazing friends.

There's just one thing. I've got a work crush on a customer who comes in every day. She's cute, funny, and every time she comes in, my knees almost give in. We chat while I make her drinks, and then she's on her way. My question is, how do I make a move without making it awkward? I'm not even sure that she's gay, but she has lots of hints pointing towards the possibility that she is. Well, she clearly is coming in every day, and that is expensive. She's not doing an at-home pot of coffee.

No, and she's Canadian, and they love saving money. Exactly. Super cheap. And I believe if she's picking up on the signs of it, then they're probably even more prevalent than she's even thinking. Because she's picking up on a little something, and we're usually always skeptical. So I would imagine that the signs are probably even more aggressive. Yes. You should put your phone number on the cup.

That's what I was thinking, or like a receipt or something. Just leave a little, let's be forward. Just be like do you want to go out I love being asked on a proper date That's the best Right away she could say no or she could say I'm not gay or whatever it is And she could just never come in again You don't have to worry about it anymore

Can you get in trouble for doing that at the job Could you get fired Who cares I mean you're a barista it'll be fine I think as long as you're respectful of it If you write your number on a receipt or something Don't be too aggressive Do you hate these two

The picture of a penis Do you also not like dick check yes or no and foam but like also are you guys the type where if someone is giving you energy or vibes and you're not into them you will avoid so like if i have a yoga class and there is a teacher that is giving me too much attention and i'm not interested i won't go back to that yoga class that's how if this was me and i wasn't into the person but i would just never go there again yeah and then i sort of like attention so i might keep doing yoga class like i might be like oh, this feels good.

Until they put their sweaty feet on you. Male feet gross me out. Yeah. At all feet. I love a dick, but I don't love a foot. I have so triggering for that. Would you rather put a stranger's dick in your mouth or a stranger's foot?

Are you kidding me? Who would put a foot in their mouth? A dick. I would rather. He picked a dick. I would put 500 dicks in my mouth before I put a stranger's foot in my mouth. A male foot is so disgusting.

Yes, I would put as many dicks as, it would be like Chubby Bunny, both dicks like a male foot is like one of the grossest things on earth it is and not that i need just stranger's dicks in my mouth but i'd much rather have that than a foot the foot what would you rather absolutely would you rather have a stranger a male's foot that has just been thoroughly pedicured and washed in the thing in your mouth or post-gym dick in your mouth okay in that case i would probably go i might still do a penis you do not know the ball vinegar you don't know the amount of fungus that is in those fucking pedicure tubs yeah no what if it's

a freestanding like at all of in june how they're nice and chic like a freestanding freestanding i'm still doing the dick i've had a nasty dick in my mouth before so many hasn't who among us say me i've never had a nasty dick in my mouth ever even in like blackout i if you've not showered Like, if your hair is still not a little wet from the shower, your dick's not going in my mouth. Oh, wow. You've only put dicks in your mouth right after a shower? Yes. I have to say.

You sound like the guy who lost my virginity, too. I feel like. Except I put dicks in my mouth and he doesn't. No, you had a weird shower. I want to say I feel like all of you are much braver than I am because I think straight men aren't as clean as gay men. Thank you. So it's probably much. Worse.

You've all been through the trenches much harder than I have. Okay. Hold on. Would you rather. Okay, hold on. Hold on. Last question. would you rather put a foot a ball vinegar gym or like a 10 years married i don't really care

anymore oh the 10-year marriage yeah because he's probably still you know where that dick's been you know everything it's fine it's like it's whatever like i know zach doesn't go a single day without a shower so like it's safe yeah okay my joke was not funny okay here we go next question she just doesn't want a 10-year dick in her mouth you're asking the tough questions here people are listening they gotta figure it out i gotta make answers they're gonna i want to know how people feel about dick versus foot yeah you have another podcast it's coming out on the lady gang network dick versus foot it's like man versus wild but worse i can't wait it's like a really fun game of would you rather just constant yeah i'm trying to yeah you're like but you're trying to what do

nails look like this verse okay seeing nails i feel like with feet like the men have gross stuff Under the toenails Nails are just never I guess if they've been pedicured They're still gross If any straight men are out there listening Go get yourself a pedicure It can't hurt

By the way I don't think men should be wearing sandals Outside of the beach I don't think men should wear sandals ever They can wear a boat shoe to the beach And take it off once they get to the sand A sandal if you're on a boat A boat shoe is good for a boat

Keep them together But then also, like, don't let us see them. And we just don't need to see it. I would rather be flashed someone's dick in a restaurant than see their foot in a flip-flop next to me. Hell, yeah. Me, too. 100%. See, it's always dick wins.

No, I'm sorry. Dick versus foot. Dick wins. Have you ever been on an airplane where you, like, see a man who has sandals on or something? It's disgusting. It's disgusting. I want to throw up. Don't fucking do it.

I don't think anyone should be in a sandal on an airplane. Just going to say that. You should always wear a sock and a shoe on a plane. 100%. There's no excuse for it. Go to the Hudson books or something and get yourself something to cover up those. The amount of pictures I've seen of people putting their fucking bare ass feet up onto the seat in front of them. It's like everybody does it.

And then you have to wipe down that headrest because, you know, people flip backwards and put their feet up on your headrest. So you're laying in a foot. I go in with the wipes and I wipe that whole shit down. Good. Now with Corona. Corona virus. You got to worry about in people's feet. The feet are worse.

There's like an Instagram account. And I, forgive me, I think it's called passenger shaming. Oh, yes, we love it. It's wonderful, but it's so shocking to see what, I saw a video of someone's foot. It was a woman's foot, I think. She was picking shit up with it. Well, I was going to say she was like choosing the TV. Wait, I saw the one where the, unless she doesn't have arms, it's not okay.

No, there was one of the girl that was changing like the fan with her foot. Wait, this was like when we first started Lady Gang. One of my bad weeks was that I was on an airplane. And the girl pulls down her tray table. You know, she's, like, getting her salad prepared. She's tossing her salad with the dressing. And she drops the dressing, like, another extra dressing she had lit on. She brought it on the plane?

Yeah, of course. Some fucking savages with full meals on a plane. That's another thing. So she drops it in the aisle. And she proceeds to take off her shoe, her sock, and use her foot like an ape to pick up her sock. Feet are not hands. Feet are not hands. Feet are not hands.

Hashtag. If you're ever in a situation where you think you might have to use your foot, remember that. You don't use your hands. You should be handcuffed to a radiator about to be murdered. That's the only excuse. That's the only time you're reaching for the key. Right. On an airplane, you know, if you've got to find one of those shops with a sock, you've got to do it.

Honestly, if you're that desperate, like, come to me in business class. I'll give you my shitty sock. Yeah, your free sock. I'll give you the free sock. I have an extra pair of socks in my carry-on. Yeah, there you go. Boom. Always keep underwear on your carry-on.
