Kelty, do you want to maybe tell the listeners like your experience so far there? Cause it's, it's allegedly been a shit show. Yeah. So I'm really lucky because, well, I'm back at in Vegas for F1. So I had quite the week because I was in New York city, um, unveiling my big Chicago announcement and want to just say a

quick shout out to all the lady gang for all the beautiful messages after the episode that last week, um, I did a plaque unveiling for the Chicago team and I, because of e-news, I flew, um, I flew on a red eye, did the announcement and then flew back that day. So I was only in New York for seven hours. And then I was in LA for like a day. I interviewed Leo for the flower moon movie, which was like so funny. Um, and that not the movie's not funny at all. The movie's about genocide funny he's funny and cute and wonderful it's always good to see you know and then I went home and packed and then literally got up the next morning and flew to Vegas so I don't know where I am I don't know what planet I'm on like it's like busy season um in the middle of that

we launched our new merch which was like so crazy successful and it just has brought like I want to talk about that but anyway I'm here at F1 I'm looking out the hotel I'm at a super swanking hotel. So I'm staying at the Wynn because I'm rooming with my husband because he's here with a client and they get a nice hotel. So normally if I was here with ease, I would be back at Harrah's or wherever else. But anyway, I'm at the Wynn. I can see the track and every, the whole prep up to F1 has been like, you guys, you got to give yourself seven hours to get everywhere. Cause it's going to be so many people. It's going to be so there's no one here. It's literally Vegas is pretty empty. It's all men. I, if you are single, you need to come next year, book a room, don't

even go to any of the things, just walk around the casinos, men in matching coats. You know what men love? They love a sports team jacket. These men are not on teams. There's not on teams. You're not part of the Ferrari team. No, I know for a fact you don't have the right pass, but you are wearing orange jacket matching with eight of your friends walking around. They love being on a team, But that's just like men in sports in general that I don't really understand. It's like you're not on the sports team and neither is a family member of yours. Well, let's stop being so judgmental. There's friendship bracelets flying all over Taylor Swift's arena.

All right. I also don't understand that. So you're right. And we're wearing merch that says Lady Gang on it. So everyone settle down in a club. Everyone wants to be in a club. It's camaraderie. Okay.

What makes it hard with the men is that the colors are ugly. i like mercedes is chic as black and white colors black and white mercedes ferraris there's a lot of like orange jackets happening right now i like that though am i i'm into that well it was really funny because um i don't know if you guys saw we can post it but so the day that so this is my life right now it's such a disaster this is actually it's not gonna be my go-to okay my life is such a disaster and chris's life is a disaster we we are in disaster era we're too we're too busy we're he's all over the world. Like it's too much. So I literally called my dad crying and I was like, I need you to come and help me with the house. I have termites. My whole roof is rotten. Like

there's just so much going on anyway. So opening ceremonies were Wednesday. I'm in New York on Tuesday flying. And Chris was like, the package didn't come. I was like, what's the, don't worry about it, babe. Like it'll come the next day. He's like, dude, y'all didn't come. Oh my God. They needed Jose. He works with J Balvin. They needed his outfit for the opening ceremonies. And it got delivered to my house, which is the worst house to get deliveries to. We have that huge gate. No one ever leaves anything. I'm usually running around town trying to find the package. I'm like, well, this was a mistake on your part. You should have had it sent to the hotel. But anyway, so he paid Savannah. Who's like my old assistant to go to the house, pick up the

package, fly to Las Vegas, take a taxi to the wind, drop off the package and fly back. Like that is where we're at at this point. Anyway, but the package, I was like, what can be so important this package. You guys, if you look online, please look right now. Oh, I, I saw it. It's actually hilarious. He dressed up in a Ventimons. Is that how you say it? Ventimons, the designer Ventimons. I don't know how to say it. It's a giant traffic cone outfit and he opened the opening ceremonies and he's not like super tall. He's probably like six feet tall. It fit Chris. It's so big and it was so funny. And so then he's been like, he was running around town, like going out on the racetrack, like fixing the manholes and shit and like directing traffic in

this big outfit. Anyway, that outfit honestly is something that I would wear. Like I it's very, it's very jack vibes. It is 16 XL. It's cheap. Very cheap. Anyway. So it's been a disaster, but F1 has been fun so far. I interviewed Jose yesterday. I interviewed Mark Wahlberg, who told me that he gets up at three 30 in the morning to do his hour of prayer and his hour of workout before his family wakes up which I appreciate the dedication he was really nice I just think it's so funny I know that I'm not memorable but these celebrities like I've been interviewing you for now 12 13 years like Mark Wahlberg I've been to all your movie junkets like I've seen you I'm like how's the family like and I know I'm not important to you but after the

interview you turned to me and he goes you're pretty good at this I'm like oh my god you think they're sending schmucks maybe there's a lot of schmucks now I don't know there is as somebody who's been on the other side not even remotely close to the level of Mark Wahlberg but as somebody who's been on the other side when you do a carpet there are like 10 schmucks and two vets and it takes a really long time to navigate because like people that's a rotating door like you'll do carpets and it's like sometimes you see the same people and sometimes you don't so there's and also you black out when you're doing press because it's so like sometimes awful and uncomfortable that you just talk and you don't really like, you're not, your brain's not

registering who you're speaking to because you're being recorded and video and filmed. So you're like, uh, I just can't up or say the wrong thing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then you're like, Oh, Oh, hi. Like, and then the second thought is this is an actual person. Even with like all the press that we did for lady gang TV. I'm like, I can't even remember a single person that we actually talked to it's like you are in such a i don't know yeah overdrive so unmemorable anyway you're memorable healthy you know that f1 is fun and um so i'm at the hotel and i sprang for the super expensive wi-fi so that we could podcast today cute where are you what where are you well mine goes into my good week bad week should we just start it let's start let's start it's time

for good week yes it is bad week oh no I'll go first so I am in Oregon like an hour outside of Portland right now visiting two of our friends they just bought a farmhouse like on in wine country in Oregon but my friends are the mom and dad of my favorite dog in the entire world Beth so I'm out here visiting Beth and they got a little new puppy and it is just the cutest thing in the entire world and you know that like i'm not more excited to see anybody in my life than the dog beth so i am just so happy to be here but my bad week with that is i am so deathly allergic to these dogs like rashes all over my arms can't stop sneezing my eyes are watering but like i keep touching them because they're so cute but like i am in a state of pain right now

but it's worth every minute of it I think you're so weird I love them they're so cute they are so cute but like that's also the kind of dog I lived with a French bulldog for a while because I dated a guy with the French bulldog and I never like I was the most allergic to that dog as any dog a lot of dander a lot but also like the hair is like the short kind that like is everywhere. And like the slobber is excessive with those dogs. So it's like, I think that there's just a lot to be reckoned with. So I, it was hard for me. Yeah. Well, and speaking of slobber, we went to this farm yesterday and they had camels and I got to feed a camel. Dude, they're crazy. They were, they are, they were nice to me, but I fed them with my hand and he slobbered all

over my hand and then they didn't have any where to wash the slobber off of my hand so I had to live with camel slobber on my hand for an hour did his foot and mouth remind you of my vagina the mouth is the mouth is very vagina like I have to say lips sink shit it's a labia mouth it was good. So yeah, that's my life right now. I don't, I don't like big, large farm animals licking me or eating off my hands. Like I don't want a bigger, I didn't like it. Yeah. I don't get that appeal. You know, I loved it by the way, Jack, what you don't know is that I went out at your wedding. There was a pasture that had two large horses and one baby horse. Um, and I spent like about an hour and a half just feeding them the grass that I pulled up from the ground and

feeding them for like a little silent retreat for myself away from people when I was overpeopled overstimulated. And it was wonderful. And I got tons of French slobber on my hands. Oh, cute. I love that. Um, okay. My good week is that when a couple of weeks ago, you all remember that I had some beef with my neighbors who put up a tombstone for Halloween in their yard that read, I told you I was sick. Okay. And I just went on a tear, which I felt very supported after voicing that opinion because the internet really followed up by showing me people making similar complaints right now about Halloween decorations and how twisted it is so I loved that on Halloween I got this text from Chris Knight and it was a picture

of a tombstone that said I told you I was sick he was out trick-or-treating with you and Christina and Carmela I guess and and he wrote I agree this is a lot so I thought that that was such a weird message that maybe somebody like DIY'd it so that's something that they sell yeah no the one in my neighborhood is the one where he was like um tumor alert it said here lies the wicked witch of the north I didn't see a tumor alert it just said I told you I was sick oh there was one someone had this was so someone had like a gourd you know how gourds like grow and they're weird shapes with like yes like warts and stuff on them yeah keep telling it I'm gonna I'm gonna look up the photo because I want to know I want to be you know journalistically correct on what it said but

it was something about like as Mark Wahlberg said you are pretty good at this um actually Kelty you should make like a t-shirt or actually in your next bio like when you have to send a bio I want you to say the quote from Mark Wahlberg. You're like, you're pretty good at this. You're pretty good at this. Mark Wahlberg or like Kelty Knight. Pretty good at this. Oh, my God. Mark Wahlberg. Yes. No, it should be. OK, so that was really funny because, A, it shows that Chris Knight is still listening, which of all. Well, Jared has to listen because he's editing like poor guy. But then Zack Martin, I think he in total his whole life, he's listened to three minutes of the lady gang and it's just, it's just so bizarre to me. I love it. So bizarre. Um, okay. So that

was my good week. I can't find it, but someone did go, this is a great Halloween costume. Someone went as a Costco sample. Oh, my friend Courtney has done that before. It was like the best costume I've ever seen. Um, okay. So then my bad week is that I am turning into the oldest lady that ever lived. I was in my car the other day, didn't even have Ford in it. Okay. It was the middle of day running errands. And I see this like really bright blue pickup truck pulling out of a, of a grocery store near me. And he like skids out and he goes so fast. And I'm like, what the, and I'm expecting to see like, you know, I'm in Texas. There's a lot of like rednecks with big trucks. And I'm like, another dumb guy in his truck my husband's usually that guy so I'm like no judgment

and I pull up and it's a bunch of teenage boys like a group of teenage boys like three in the back the guy driving the passenger whatever they're like laughing they're whatever and I start tailing this car and they are driving like teenage boys do oh no in this like brand new bright blue pickup truck and like what i didn't know before becoming a texan and marrying a redneck is that like pickup trucks like that are actually quite expensive i did not know they're like two hundred thousand dollars yeah i like couldn't believe someone would pay that much money for a pickup truck i still can't but i was like i was getting i was starting to fume on the inside so hard because i'm like whoever's these parents are like you for getting this kid this car you for not

having a tag on it that says call my parents if i'm driving like an asshole like you and i was like raging and i got up behind the car as fast as i could and i tried taking pictures of the license plate but i was zooming in so much that i couldn't get a clear picture and i think that this was like the lord above telling me like you need to calm down but i was like i i was in my mind i was like i'm gonna get a picture of the license plate i know they go to a high school around here because they went from the the grocery store to the high school down the street like they're probably picking up cigarettes like trash balls i mean that was me in high school again no judgment and i'm like i'm gonna fucking i'm gonna and i literally was about to pull into

the parking lot of the high school before i realized that's a high school you're a grown-ass woman like you need to just move it along i mean his driving was pretty shitty and it was a little dangerous, but it wasn't like, it wasn't like end of day, you know, it's, he wasn't like chugging a 40 and like throwing it out the window and swerving down the street. But you would have thought that I was. So I, in my mind, I was like, I'm going to get this license plate number, track down his parents, send a nasty letter to the parents and, and like all these things. And then I just was like, I am old now. Yep. That is so upsetting. And there's teenagers who live on my street and they do drive a little too fast. And I made a suggestion to Zach that we send out an anonymous

letter to the street being like, if you have a teenager who lives on the street, they're driving incredibly too fast. And Zach looked at me and he was like, are you okay? Like what? They're driving. Your mis, mis directed, misdirected rage of 2023 is really something that will go down in history. but I think it's I think this rage and I not not I think I know this rage is is new mother rage oh yeah it's suddenly like being outside and yeah mama lion where you're like everything is dangerous I'm just trying to keep this human alive another day why is everyone going against my wishes of being a safe soft landing pad well and I just I want to know like having a teenage boy I know is terrifying and like them driving is terrifying but like it makes me just want to

keep Ford in a bubble and like never have him behind the wheel of a car like it's just it's inevitable that teenage boys are are psycho and they're gonna do those things but I don't even I'm like how do you do that I literally thought you know what I'm gonna do I'm I am gonna put the sticker on the back of Ford's car when he's 16 that's like if you see me texting and driving or you see me driving recklessly here's my mom's number like i swear and he is gonna rip that off so fast i do think about like all of the cars that i got in with boys when i was younger and i was like the best kid ever and still the situations that i put myself in especially when it came to like driving with other guys i'm like dude it is scary out there it's we used to

just like have competitions of who could do more donuts yeah on the ice and i'm like this is a bad choice guys nobody understands the consequences of their actions about age speaking of people doing donuts somebody dm'd me that did you know people from minnesota called doing donuts whipping shitties oh my god i love it whipping a shitty so minnesota isn't that amazing oh yeah you know we're gonna go out in the snow and whip a shitty we're gonna go whipping shitties like i love it so much i don't know why that's so crazy. I had the perfect segue. I know it is because she's whipping. I want to whip some shitties. This was not shitty. My good week is that, um, I know that I went on a tangent and

I told you all that I'm no longer receiving negative messages about myself and thinking they're funny. I cannot take any more people tagging me saying I look like Caitlyn Jenner. Like I'm, I'm done. I'm sensitive and I've been scared to open my DMS, but I'm glad I opened this one hi i'm sorry if this offends you but you're really gorgeous i'm divorced i would love to be your sugar no i got this message too no more and i would give you a decent one thousand dollar weekly allowance that way i'm not wasting your time let me know did you get the same dm i got the same dm from the same guy you got the same dm i swear to god let me see if i can find it that is so funny well if it makes you guys feel any better i didn't so you should still be

flattered. But then I, then literally I was sitting there and I was like, wait, is it from this guy? I have no, I have no idea. I just copied it into my notes. Mine says, hi, I'm sorry if this offends you, but you're really gorgeous. I'm divorced. I love to be your sugar daddy. It would love to know you more and a decent thousand dollar a week allowance. That way I feel like I'm not wasting your time. Love. Let me know, dear. Oh my God. This is so sad. I love that back and didn't get one that's hilarious all right I mean but I don't also don't open my dms yeah what's his what's his um instagram she's looking to see oh my god that's amazing my bad week is that and I think this is very fitting since I met f1 um I as you know am a terrible

driver and I was running around town in my car and I had to parallel park and I was in such a rush that I was doing a fast parallel park, but there was no one around me. So I was like, kind of just like pulled up. And then anyway, long story short, I ran into a curb so hard that my entire tire popped. It went and everyone around was like, it was an earthquake. And then I got out and I looked and the entire tire, it wasn't a leak. It was like the tire was gone. And so my already stressful day that I was going super fast, I had to call AA. And then I just want to say the guy from AA was so nice. And anyway, I'm a bad driver. Oops, wrong call. AAA was so nice. And everyone around was looking at me like you're a bad driver. And he's like, what happened? Oh my

God, this is, I never really see this. And I was like, I went 40 into a curb. Anyway, I'm a bad driver. And, um, we're excited about our podcast today. We'll be right back. now back to the lady gang our guest today is the emmy nominated queen of vanderpump rules who effortlessly misses mixes sass with class with a cocktail in one hand and a killer comeback in the other ariana is the undisputed master of the vanderpump cocktail shaker she's not just a reality star she's a force to be reckoned with this resident badass has a heart of gold she's a girl who turns heads and raises eyebrows whether she's dropping truth bombs on tv or serving looks or crushing dancing with the stars she's got a brand new attitude and a brand new book single

as cocktails please welcome to the lady gang our queen ariana maddox welcome wow what an intro that was incredible first of all i i don't know that the lady gang girls are dancing with stars watchers I think you have brought them over for sure but like you are freaking you're gonna win oh my gosh well that would be amazing but if you think about it like I always I feel like from now on or at least like the last two weeks to onward anybody could go home like at any time like Lele was so good and Barry was so good I don't know so I'm always like just really nervous you know when people talk about people that are crushing it on dancing with the stars how many seasons is this like 30 something 32 and people will make comments like i'm not an avid watcher

but they'll be like watch this clip this person looks like a pro who's the pro and who's the star and you're like come on guys i know who the pro is and i know who the star is your britney spears video went everywhere i couldn't get on instagram and i was like okay let's see how much she slays because I'm so used to people saying that they're slaying and they're not you being slayed to the point where I started Googling. If you had dance background, if you like professionally, you are amazing. Oh my God. I think one of the best that's ever been. Wow. Thank you. Do you have dancing background? Cause it is insane. I danced in like high school and it's weird because it's like I'm 38 so it's like 20 years ago it's not the same it stays with you it stays it's muscle

memory I'm not so sure I also was the worst one on the team I was always in the back corner like and then when I was in like uh college or then when I was out of college and I wanted people to think that I was better at things than I was I just said that like our team because our team won like nationals. But I said that as if like, I was like part of the reason why we won, but literally I was in the back corner. I was like, this is a book out of, this is a page out of Kelty's book. I know Kelty was always at the end of the Rockettes line. So that's her height. That's not the same. Jack doesn't understand dancing anyway, but I was also a background dancer. It gives you a will to live and achieve in life because you've watched all these other

bitches in front of you. And you're like, you don't know what the fire that I have within me in my belly is. And then you're like, one day I'll be at the front of the pyramid. Well, you're at the front now. It's insane. Yeah. It's really amazing. Um, this book, I want to know how many weeks it took to shoot all these photos because like, okay, so I'm going to be embarrassing right now for myself, but I went through a really bad breakup with Jack and I's mutual ex-boyfriend way back in like 15 years ago. And I was so heartbroken that I wrote like a memoir about it and then put it out for everyone to read. And it was, at the time I felt like it was the best decision. For me now, looking back, it's ultimately cringy.

And what I wish I would have done is done a hard cover coffee table slash cookbook of all hot pictures of me yeah you went the wrong way uh you cried so tell me everything about putting this together and um and like the photos and the titles and everything is so perfect oh my gosh thank you well you know what's crazy you said how many weeks that whole photo shoot was like five days oh my god wow yeah including like the ones with me and like there were days it was like there were two or three days that I could be there and then there were two or three days that I couldn't be there and it was over the summer it was while we were shooting Vanderpump Rules and it was I don't know if you guys saw or anything when the cast trip went to Tahoe yeah I was that was the

week that I was shooting this book so they were in Tahoe and I was here in LA shooting the cocktail book and yeah it was crazy it was only that many days but it's so funny that you say that about your book because I was just having this conversation yesterday where I was like I love this book so much and I'm like but now I almost like wish I didn't write it because now I have to talk about it all the time yeah it's not bad but it's like yeah only for a couple weeks and like at least you know there's like like what you were saying like yours was memoir and this one I there's so much to talk about outside of the the subject matter of it so that's good that that part makes me feel a little bit better but yeah it's crazy the all this stuff came together really fast

because the text had to be done very very quickly in order to even get everything planned to do the photo shoot so yeah it was a really fast turnaround so you call it drinks for bad bitches only what makes you in this era of your life a bad bitch I don't know I don't know um I think that we're all bad bitches um all the time so I feel like when I say like for bad bitches only I'm like that actually kind of like fits everybody but like I feel like I personally am a bad bitch because i don't want to go out anywhere i want to be in my sweats all the time and i have like the best group of girlfriends ever i'm like okay so that counts well it's like having nothing to prove that's like i think that's it yeah yeah i'm like being in your like not giving a

era yeah like i feel like there's just no nothing to stress about anymore I like this age because I'm also 30 about to be 38 and I feel like I just I've never thought I could feel this um far removed from like that insecure 20 year old girl like just trying always to like prove stuff to myself to exes to friends to everybody I'm like I I'm the same way and I'm like is this the magic of our late 30s is this just like what we get to feel because it's pretty great yeah it's awesome yeah like this is me like you know in my slides or whatever it's like this is this is it so you know get with it or don't like it's cool I love it get with it or don't you know the realization like we went through the influencer era where everyone was like in a full

outfit photographed on Instagram and you were like wow that's like not how I go through my day and now I do feel like we're in sweatsuit era which is like your girls are just like no we wear sneakers sweatshirts big designer sunglasses and always have a coffee in our hands and like that's the sex symbol vibe right now and I'm like this is better for us as a culture I like it it's way more comfortable Jack Vanek likes to make a mix a drink a jacktail if you will so she's our resident you know mixologist and I was going through the book and this drink the West Hollywood is the most hilarious drink I've ever because the West Hollywood drink is a truly trashy combo drink pedialyte yes and hard seltzer and then you're like mix it up with ice drink when your

life's a dumpster trash so this is like a hair of the dog a shampoo effect drink that you're drinking when you're hungover I'm assuming yeah there's a few of those in there that are just wild because i feel like it's you know there's so many that are like really good like really pretty great cocktails and then there's some that you're just like this is almost like uh more about the concept than and i prayers up to anyone who wants to actually drink it well it's like what you need to survive but exactly i just have never seen pedialyte in like a drink before and so i was like well you drink it when you're hungover it's like giving you all of your electrolytes back and the morning. Yeah. Yeah. It's supposed to be good for you. I had to drink Pedialyte when I was a

kid. I got like really horrible, like diarrhea, stomach, whatever. And I remember being a little kid and they were like, you're so dehydrated. If you don't drink this, we're going to have to like feed you through a tube. And I was like, I don't want to drink it. And like my mom had to like for like force feed me Pedialyte so that I didn't go to the hospital and I like literally to this day like cannot drink it it's like the worst to me oh no yeah maybe you need to come out with like your own version of Pedialyte your maybe your next venture is like a hangover cure that isn't Pedialyte yeah she has enough ventures well you know what she's got a she can strike while this iron is on fuego that's right yeah there you go okay so I thought it would be really fun um now

that you're out in the world for us to play a game of would you rather sort of I'm calling this would you rather like boy edition okay um and it's gonna be you know we're all gonna decide on who we would rather okay you guys ready okay okay who would you rather date an aspiring actor or an aspiring DJ. I've dated a lot of great actors. I've got to say the possibility of I think the DJ is way more embarrassing. But if you if you make it big as a DJ, you're rolling in the window. So like there's a possibility that that could actually take off. But then you have to stay up until like 4am. So I don't know how I feel about that. But that's like the same with an actor like he can make it big and also like austin butler like my worst nightmare no offense to austin

butler is austin butler like before getting a job was probably the most painful experience like like insufferable person to be around and in my mind that's that that is like that is what i'm envisioning i feel like he's also like a method actor like i feel like you might have to live you feel like jack have you heard him talk he's oh yeah i forgot about the elvis voice yeah he's still elvis so to me i cringe i for me it's gotta be it's gonna be dj even though i think it's the weirdest job ever yeah i might go dj also because well one thing about actors is you know that they can read because they have to read that's true illiterate but even if you make it as an actor your goal is like what to just be able to like get jobs and like the I feel like you have

a higher likelihood of being able to like DJ and make a decent living and like be okay as a DJ than you do as an actor that's what I'm saying yeah like even if you're you're DJing like a bar you're still gonna make a little bit of money yeah yeah right maybe also like cool taste in music who knows well and it's like I think that if you really had to like if if someone was like you need to go learn how to DJ you're gonna find a YouTube video that's gonna like help you improve your skills I don't think there's a YouTube video out there that's gonna like help you become a better actor no you don't need talent to become a DJ really unless you're like one of those DJs that DJs live otherwise you're just pressing a button yeah which even the biggest like 100 more

here we go okay next would you rather this is my favorite question of all time and i've been thinking about it since we wrote it down oh god would you rather sleep with a boy or a virgin boy hands down yeah boy boy a virgin oh god that's that's so scary that's like asking me if i want to drive with like a medallion taxi in new york city or like a student driver yeah i think taking somebody's virginity is like terrifying i don't want to be responsible for that and like the repercussions to come yeah that's really scary plus like if they're my if they're 38 oh yeah if you're nearing 40 year old virgin if it's age appropriate this is a whole other layers yes yes because they might be also a freaking like murderer if they're a still a

virgin i don't know there's something weird going on there yeah i agree that's wild okay would you rather sleep with someone half as attractive as you or twice as attractive as you this one's hard for me because like i like to start the show yeah well ariana you already dated someone half as attractive as you for a long time i would say like a like in 10th so yeah i feel like people who would be twice as attractive are not good in bed right no it's like the thing where they've they've never been told no they've never been told that they're bad because they're just hot and relying on their looks yeah did you see that selling sunset reunion when brie was talking about michael b jordan and she's like not good

in bed i think she just said it to be nice to nick cannon but either way a revelation and i i agree the hottest guys i disagree i disagree one time the only person no the only person who ever hit on me was michael b jordan and he has an energy about him that would that told me otherwise like big dick energy so much and you're like you you know how to take care of a lady i think you should um figure out a way to sleep with him and report back she is married with child but she'll still try okay well my husband at this point would probably be like oh it's for work fine it's research research method acting okay would you rather this is just date would you rather date with someone that's social media obsessed or not on social media at all oh easy yeah not

on social media at all. Like he won't even put a nice message for you for your birthday. I'm not saying from experience, I'm just saying sometimes you want someone to write something nice on your birthday on social media. That's my dream. Nothing. I would say nothing. Yeah. Yeah. Would you rather, I wrote this personally, so it's, it's a real, uh, masterpiece. Would you rather date someone who's incredibly rich, but only wears exclusively flip-flops to everything, or someone with david beckham's style but is a magician by trade oh my god did you write that for me but is the magician wealthy because there are successful magicians out there i don't know the backstory on these characters i i love a magician so much that i would date

a magician that wears flip-flops all the time like that would work for me oh my god what i love magician she slept with one though which i'm jealous about but i just love them it's her fetish I'm going rich in flip-flops we'll just live on the beach yeah no but this is like when you go to the fundraising gala and he's like in a tux but like in a flip-flop and you have to look at those mantos all the time think about the grossness of a manto it's pretty bad it's pretty bad this is a tough choice he's wearing flip-flops to your wedding she's i'll have it on a beach i'll have everything just happens on the beach yeah if the magician makes three hundred thousand dollars a year and dresses like david beckham

being a magician i'm going that route okay yeah i'm still picking magician okay all right would you rather date someone who only communicates through emojis or responds k to all important messages ouch oh man the emojis are cringe but at least you have like a variety you're at least like seeing what's going on with him emotionally yeah yeah exactly he might get like really deep into like the other cable like collections too that's true i'm going with k i'm going with k i feel like that works for you though becca It does. The less I know, the better, the less I know how you're feeling, the better. I love it. And speaking of feelings, um, and I know you like, we're like, I really don't want

to talk about this, but it is in your book. So, you know, there's this amazing chapter called warning signs in the book. And I think this is really important for lady gang. And the reason that I wanted to talk to you about it is, um, we have this Facebook group, uh, with like 30,000 plus girls in it and they're talking constantly and the stories that come up about I guys am I being crazy am I they always start with am I being crazy and we see them and then all the girls like jump in and give each other advice and I think like as women I think sometimes in a relationship we can get embarrassed or we don't want other people to know that like stuff's going wrong so we don't talk about it what I love about lady gang is like everybody's talking about it so

in this chapter of the book you were like here's some warning signs increase love of fitness turning off your shared location being protective of your phone like I was wondering if we could all have a conversation about other things that we've experienced that could be like warning signs for perhaps someone in a relationship not doing the right thing I once had an ex like I got so I knew in my heart that he was being unfaithful but I got like I tried to like do all the things to like bring him back in and like make sure that he couldn't cheat on me and so I was like I just because we travel a lot we're long distance I was like just call me before you go to bed you got to just call me before you go to bed so like I know that you're in bed and you're calling me and I'm

the last thing you're like talking to and then one time he literally called me I think he was in a club in a closet and he was like hey babe yeah I'm just going to bed big night and then a guy walks like I hear the door open and this guy goes you can't be in here bro oh no oh my god oh my god which ex was this guilty I you can guess Jack what are the warning signs Jack you've had this happen to you um yeah I mean yeah dated a real real narcissist I will say like in the beginning of a relationship into like after you've been dating a while obviously love bombing I feel like is the biggest red flag in the entire world and just like social media is stupid but if there is like massive changes in the way that like somebody is posting about you so if like they're

obsessed with you they're posting you every day and then all of a sudden it goes to nothing I just think like big changes in that kind of world are something to look at no matter how like trivial it kind of seems oh I love that Bex well I've never been cheated on now that I not that I know of so um they did a really good job of hiding it or I'm an idiot so I'm not the person to answer this question I'm probably a fucking idiot or I was delusional enough to like not even worry in my 20s, I think I was so confident in my relationships and in myself that I was like, yeah, right. Who's better than me? And to be honest with you, I'm sure a lot of people were and maybe they were doing it. But like, in my delusional headspace, I just never, I don't know,

I just never looked for things or had things pop out. I don't know. It's also the thing that happens is that you're like, no, no, like, I'm, I'm great. And I've been here too. And I know this is fun so like why you know but also you're in I think what I didn't know then that I know now is that it actually doesn't matter at all like what your what your reality is with that person like that you can so easily and I think over the years I've just been able especially with like so many of my girlfriends where I guess you take it less personally because you're like wow it was to me it was good to me everything is good but then I mean somebody else is living I don't know if this makes any sense at all, but it has nothing to do with how great you are or how

great the relationship is. It's how the other person is. Yeah. It has nothing to do with you like at all. Yeah. At all. Only. Yeah. Which is yeah. A crazy thing to like think about. Cause I definitely think that when I was younger, I would have had the opposite thought. I was like, it's all me. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if Beyonce can get cheated on, anybody can. yeah exactly okay when we come back together with ariana we're going to do and ariana allegedly what's happening we'll be right back you're listening to the lady gang okay we are back ariana's new book single ass cocktails comes out december 5th we must make her a new york times bestseller on

her own solo style. You know what I mean? It's going to happen. But Lady Gang, it is actually just the cutest book. And I also think this is such a great gift for your friends and the friend that's like your work friend at work that you tell everything to, but like you never see each other outside the office, but she knows everything about your dating life. Like this is the perfect book to wrap up and put on her desk for the holiday season so like by 10 okay this this is the allegedly what's a happening and we're calling it uh so allegedly what's happening is where we talk about celebrities but we say allegedly first so that we can't get sued we don't even know if that's right no we've just been doing it that way for like seven years we've never been sued

no we've never been sued no um but i thought because this this uh book is single as cocktails that we would talk about all of the shocking single as new people in hollywood this year 2023 so i want to start with jack sam and britney why is that to me you know why i mean i don't know their relationship was always strange to me and he was always a little bit sketchy and i don't know what kind of controlling he was doing on the back end so i love that she's living her best single life she was actually in cabo like two days before i was just partying at a club and if i would have seen her in real life i would have shit my pants but like who was she partying with i locals i think she seemed like she was by herself she was partying that one time

with maluma and oh yeah oh yeah i just oh my god hot take this will be out by the time this comes out on tuesday i was just interviewing jay balvin yesterday and i asked him about the britney thing and she was like she's happy as a clam oh good i love that such good spirits she's super happy she's been through a lot and like i was like it's just so strange that you're friends with very random wow and like maluma i mean both of those men is it do you think she's on substances that make you feel happy i have no idea i am not those kind not prescribed by a doctor like um okay taylor and taylor and joe alwyn i don't know what do you think you're swifty um Yeah, listen, I feel like she's still so young. And she was so serious with Joe. And like, it seemed great. But at the same time, it's like, I don't know. If I was dating Taylor Swift, I would find it difficult to date her because she is like the biggest star in the entire world. And I don't know Joe, like personally, but I don't know, maybe he was having a hard time like keeping up like Taylor, you got to keep up with her. You can't just like, you got to be on her level.

And maybe he just wasn't on her level. Well, didn't they try to, like, hide their entire relationship for the most part, too? It was very private, yeah. And I feel like it's impossible to do that if you're Taylor Swift. I mean, seeing her now with Travis. She doesn't want her relationship to be private. Yeah. I think she wants to be running off the field and kissing Travis Kelsey.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Did you guys see his old tweets that came out? What? Like, they went back and obviously, like, they do to everybody. like scrubbed not scrubbed but like found all of his old tweets and everybody was like thinking it was going to be problematic and it's literally the most wholesome tweets ever like but like he's misspelling a bunch of words and that's that is literally an athlete to like 101 like that you're

gonna get pure you know you're there don't know what it is how to sit down yeah it's it's it's sure something well that's the only reason i don't know if it's i don't know if it's gonna work out with them I don't think there is enough depth there yeah for her she's very like she's a deep feeling thinking individual and I think he's lovely yeah and he's like the guy that you want to climb like a tree and like be with when you're like getting carjacked but I don't know if he's the guy that you want to like literally sit next to for the rest of your life and talk about the world and your feelings with yeah I do I want to talk about my feelings with him but sometimes like a simple man like that is kind of all you need at the end of the day if you are like super complex

like if you're the one that is very emotional and has like so much going on like sometimes you need a sounding board of somebody that's just like a simple happy guy he's got like good himbo energy yes what himbo like a male bimbo yeah the back actually yeah yeah maybe he is her himbo you're right that is a dynamic that could work yeah it just depends if she's yeah I don't know she seems way more complicated to me like I think she's like in her like simple era and I don't think that's sustainable for someone like her yeah I could I could see it going either way um we were just at BravoCon I just saw Ariana at BravoCon um Shannon Bedore and John Jansen finally split up he's never loved her and never loved her

And finally, they have split up. What are your thoughts, A? Oh, I want good things for Shannon. Obviously, she's going through like she had this horrible DUI and awful situation that she caused. She's responsible for that. But I hope that that was maybe a wake up call, like after all of that. And maybe that's like a wake up call for her to like truly seek out like good, positive

things for her. because yeah I mean that guy I'm glad that he's gone I'll just say that I don't like I don't like any ladies to be with anybody that like doesn't appreciate them you know what I mean like that just sets you up for like a whole mess of problems like I don't know mentally yeah I mean it was just so clear from the beginning that like he was in it for the wrong reasons and didn't support like she's the type of person who's like quirky and like has her things but if she found the right guy he'd find all of those things minus the DUI endearing like all of those things would be like look at my like wacky zany wife like it's so funny you go to this like guy and talk about poop and

and like I mean she's really charming at times and she never showed for one second that he was charmed by her yeah she needs somebody who's like all of that stuff is like so cute to them yes he tolerated her yeah don't like that yeah i don't trust anyone with a brick head does he have a square head he's a square head and it's like it's if you come out of the womb with a head that shape you're a bad person i'm just gonna make a blanket statement i don't believe that you can be a good person if your head is that square i was about to say something that i thought was inappropriate it but then you just said that so i'm just gonna say it i i actually think i on another thing and you probably can't even comment on it but it just came to mind i actually think that bravo should

not be able to like redo people like they should be able to kick people off shows who have duis like that's a morality clause like how on earth that's true in any other job like i i don't know i just feel like if you get a dui i don't think like showing up to bravo con and being allowed to do that should be something that you can do well it's true she could have killed somebody and like i think it's pretty up that then she gets to go sign autographs i don't think she should be like you know discarded she was not signed but she was that was not the vibe but she's but i'm just saying like she's there she literally is getting glam after she had a dui so anyway hot takes it's a very very valid very valid point you can call me bravo you can add it

in it can be like you know the bethany clause the becca clause um uh our friend caitlin and jason broke up this year single as ladies single as buying a new house um i want to just say that i really thought they were forever like i really like them together but i this goes along with what we're saying like would you rather have someone that has social media or no social media is i feel like, and this is the thing about like relationships is that you're, you're together for a long time and people do change. And it's like, can you adjust to the changes? Like, do I like the person you have changed into? Cause like they loved each other, but then like, I feel like he got really into being a famous person where she, after dancing with the stars, she like reverted

back to like, I'm now going to do my normal life. And he got really into like the clicks and the Instagram and all that stuff and I think like the dynamic was really off that's what I mean she didn't tell me that but that's that's how I kind of felt about that relationship and I you know well you started off as just like a finance bro like that's all that he did right and that's why I think she probably fell in love with that's hard that's hard because it gets kind of cringe yeah that's when you were asking the would you rather earlier and you were saying like super into social media or like nothing at all guys who are just like super into social media is is very cringe to me it's so cringe yeah it's like posting like selfie yes selfie i can't no

selfie oh my god and they always do like a and blue steel i can hate it there's really nothing worse it's really disgusting yeah what has it been like to be in your dms this year no one is in my dms so it can't be true yes someone asked me that they were like who's like slid into the dms i'm like literally no one it's just like no one like that so i bet a lot of women being like yeah supporting you yeah yeah yeah it's like friends it's like it's women it's it's people that you know i'm like hell yeah like let's be yeah let's be buds but yeah there's no like like literally looking at right now oh geez well it's like you're too old for leo sorry like we're all like two times too old for a generation

too old no i felt like all the little hotties of hollywood we would like would be like hey i'd love to take you out no absolutely i don't mean to like pour salt on a wound but like that's okay that has never happened i have not i think it's because people thought you were in a one time oh well i think i think there's there's a reason why because the guys that send dms that slide into girls dms are not looking for strong women they're looking for baby birds who want validation and to be told their ass looks hot and i think you've proven to the world that you're way more than a hot you are hot and you've got a great ass but i think that you've shown you have a lot of strength and you are so sure of yourself and what you want

and what you're going to put up with that the type of guys sliding in dms in general are not looking for quality that's so true sure you know but i do sometimes you know want to be baby birded on my ass of course of course we all do we all do but not too but you're gonna get that but not in the form of a dm you know what i mean like you're gonna find the guy it's just not gonna be the guy sliding in your dms no that's so true but that's the thing and like oh my god i'm so glad you said that sometimes i want to be a baby bird this is a revelation on lady gang because i do believe that the right person like my husband treats me like a baby bird like he's like he just got went and got me coffee and he's like oh my god are you okay and then i'm like i'll fucking make the

contracts I make the money like I'm such a boss bitch but then like in our own life a lot of times in our world like he will literally pick me up like I and and it is exactly the same with you Becca and it's exactly the same with you Jack and I think there is someone out there who's a mix of those two things who is celebrating you and is like I want a bad bitch with their own life and who's confident and all those things but then you're able to be like I'm just broken and I need and like very sensitive and like and i'm a baby because i want to be i'm the baby it's exhausting being the strong bitch all the time i think yeah yeah yeah you need like you need that balance of being able to go out into the world and be a strong badass bitch

because at home you were like i don't know like not having to do that yeah you're gonna be the baby well and I look at a lot of like relationships and marriages that I know and where the woman at home doesn't get to be the baby bird I love that this is now it is she doesn't get to be the baby bird there's a lot of resentment for her having to be home and also be the person taking care of the little baby bitch boy like that is a really hard thing and I don't think we're wired to be that way no I mean it's like it's the I know we're like surpassing gender roles but there is a little bit of that where it's like, you do just want to like live in your feminine energy a little bit and like be allowed to do that. And I think just in general with like women just being boss bitches,

it's like, it's hard to be able to like succumb to that. But you, we, I think naturally a lot of women just want to a little bit for like a small amount of time. Yeah. I want to dip our, dip my toes into it a little bit. Yeah. I love that. I love it so much. Okay. Last question. Single as cocktails is coming out I want you to give a message to all the lady gang girls that are feeling single as and they're not celebrating it in the way that you're celebrating it in this book they are feeling it's the holiday season everyone's like getting engaged and it's like everyone's posting about their Christmas trips on Instagram and they're feeling sad and like it's never going to happen for them what what do you queen of our hearts okay to those single as lady gangers
