the wedding content
is over
it's all going downhill
yeah it's a
what do we have left
there's nothing
to look forward to
except
Lady World
yes
and it only took me
30 seconds
to talk about it
no we're so excited
to be here in New York
with you guys today
our good week
is that we're here
we're friends
we've been friends
for so long
so long
our original podcast
girlies
when we lost
the people's choice
award together
we will always have that
where the bond started
yeah
that was what
I think it was 2018
yep
2018
yeah
yes 2018
because our show
was on the air
and we're like
yeah we're gonna win
because this is an e-show
and we have an e-show
and then we lost
and we were like
wow the world hates us
how did you guys
sorry I know
I'm just gonna
I have to just
jump around here
but I've been wanting
to ask
how did you keep your friendship
get both being brides
the same year
yeah that's why
I can't believe this
we actually said
we think it helped
yeah I think it did
if anything
I think it helped too
that we both like
could understand
like what the other person
was like doing
in terms of like
oh you would need
to leave early
or you need to step out
oh that makes sense
like for planning and stuff
it was like oh
like actually can we move
the recording
because I have this appointment
or like whatever
and I think if one of us
was maybe single
or whatever
we'd be like
oh this has to get
the wedding again
the fucking bride stuff
was like taken over
but instead we were like
like no totally because i know like it was like everything i had to do she just we just did right
out like it was like right next to each other was it weird about like i love my dress and it's the
prettiest dress of all time and like i love my dress it's pretty no no we have different yeah
styles like our weddings were in such different places as well like nothing about it was similar
and neither of us it wasn't like one of us wanted something and the other person was doing it so the
other person had to change like right i think even before we got engaged we both knew like that we
would have different sort of like vibes and everything in general so yeah were either of
you guys bridezillas because you're so chill both of you are very chill i don't think so
people always say that both of us were like the calmest people ever on the day of our weddings
which was so funny like i always say i want to bottle up how i felt the day of my wedding because
it's more calm than i am like on my day-to-day life really interesting wow i would and fran was
super calm as well like we both were really chill about it god it must be very rich guys
um okay so today we are gonna play uh since you're the most famous influencers i know we are
gonna play love it or leave it influencer edition so i brought out all of the things that are the
big trends for this summer and we're gonna have everyone here discuss and we're gonna start with
Peel Off Lip Liner.
It is a beauty experiment
where users apply peel off
lip tints as blush
on their lips.
You know, you've seen it.
Leave it. You wearing it right now, Jack?
Me? No, but I wear it
sometimes. Does it work?
Yeah, it's like a stain. I saw a girl
do it and she was like, this is so overrated.
So I didn't order it.
You really have to push through and wear it
for like an hour. TikTok is begging
me to buy it because I think
Like, I get nonstop ads for it all the time, but I have never tried it.
Most of the time, I'm just like, you know, I'll stick to lip liner.
It's a commitment, and it's annoying.
Yeah, no, I'm not into it.
That looks messy.
That looks like you really have to know how to, like, color between the lines.
You know, you really got to be precise, because if it goes off a little bit, then it's all
jibber.
You need a smooth hand.
Yeah.
Which I don't have.
Okay.
What do you think about La Boo Boo Bag Charms?
Oh, no.
We've already had a little pre-discussion about this.
Yeah.
jack has brought her labubu i have one in the mail coming to me yep there he is so there was
unfortunately um which rhi and i really harped on that we can't let go of is that there was a people
article that really detailed how gen alpha has taken the labubu trend and they quoted like a
bunch of late 30s early 40s people in new york city and the way they talked about these labubus
i was like this is the most embarrassing thing i've ever i've ever heard like like one person
was like i'm so afraid to wear mine on the subway what if it gets stolen like it's i've heard there
is they're like yes yeah exactly it's just um it's a it's a it's a craze my my sister has a
couple of them now which i i did not fully understand but rihanna we had a moment talking
about it and you i mean we did not think about getting one i just the way she just looked over
I know, it was Gus.
No, I'm just Louis Vuitton's fanny pack.
He just looks ridiculous to me.
I mean, he looks adorable because you guys are matching.
I'm sorry.
Like, it's your matching.
It feels ridiculous to me.
It's like having an American Girl doll in a matching outfit that you're wearing.
I think it's because once I see, like, all the influencers online, like, put them on all their designer bags.
And, Jack, I'm giving you an exception.
Thank you.
Because I really like you.
Thank you.
But when I see they're, like, prancing around Italy and the Labooboos are hanging from their designer bags, like, I just, I don't like it.
Like, I don't understand why.
i also just like never hang things from my bags and like not a charm person no i know i saw that
clip but like i never have never even thought about hanging something from my bag ever so i
just maybe that's why i also don't ever want to wear anything where strangers might come up and
talk to me i very rarely wear some things that say anything yeah i don't even wear peacocking
yeah i don't even wear lady gang merch in the airport because there's too many weird like old
dudes being like lady gang what's that and i'm like god damn it yeah so i just that's too much
of a of a talking point where did you get yours yeah no they're almost firsthand they're almost
straight up too valuable right now also like walking the streets in new york city i would
be kind of afraid someone would pull it off i need to be i hope someone does it would be such
a good story it would be a good story and honestly and we need it his little ton outfit was five
dollars i will say to your point of like the labubus on bags in italy well i have to show
off yeah um mine has to be like his his outfit needs to be appropriate for the occasion so it's
like if they're not in a bikini then like what are they doing there like he is dressed like me
so in new york city this fits yes little boo boo fits in new york city he's ready to promote lady
world today he's not yeah he's here for business like he'd be great in the winter yes he doesn't
smell like a strawberry shortcake oh there's no he doesn't smell oh damn that sucks no i can't
wait for mine to get i don't even know but i have a whole collection of stuffed animals you would
not expect that from me would you yeah love them i'm not too surprised because fran has a full no
that is true i have a lot of squishmallows in my apartment well and my husband constantly asks if
there's some we can get rid of and i say no okay well i'll let you in on a little secret they're
making squishmallow pillows like a pillow like pillowpads no no no this is a new thing this
is a new thing it hasn't been released yet like squishmallow that makes squishmallows yeah are
making normal sized just rectangle regular pillows no faces with no faces with the squish
mellow stuffing in them and the fabric like the super comfortable yeah that's amazing turn yours
around when you're having sex no they're they're in a corner yeah like they're just yeah they're
just peaks yeah they're just there one falls down like can i wear your labubu yeah it's attached to
her purse okay if your labubu like all of a sudden was like not your labubu one of your pillow pads
like fell and was like this would you feel like it was suffocating yes see yeah there's two types
of people yeah did you guys have yeah there's sometimes i have sometimes i don't have a
collection sometimes i take one traveling with me and like use it as a pillow on planes and stuff
because that's what i do and sometimes like when we were consistently or like traveling for shows
or something i would i have my like they're in a basket and i would constantly reach for the same
one and sometimes i'd look at the others and be like i'm sorry i haven't taken them out yeah
i also think when you said in a basket i'm like my son's nursery has a basket of stuffed animals
exactly what it is so i think maybe if and when you become a mom maybe that's when it's going to
be like a weird territory you pass along the basket i have a really good um storage option
i have one of those like the bench storages yeah yeah yeah so that when i'm done sleeping i just
set them nicely in there.
No, that's a coffin.
It's not a coffin.
They can't breathe.
They can't breathe in there.
Mine are in my closet
and they all have
their own little area.
Oh, that's nice.
But then that's also
a little bit like jail.
Yeah.
Not this closet.
My sister has all the,
my sister loves the jelly cats.
Yeah, I like those too.
I love, honestly.
Yeah, the jelly cats are cute.
Yeah, my son has a lot
of jelly cats.
I like anything that,
well, you hate it.
I just like anything
that you want to keep to yourself.
Look, the rest of us
don't have children,
And so we still have to keep the child alive in our house.
Did you guys ever, like, just, like, for traveling,
I have this question, well, for, like, a pillow.
Yeah.
You know, but when I'm at home, like, I don't know where,
you know what I mean?
You don't like to lay on it on the couch?
It's the comfiest thing ever.
Yeah, it sure is.
No, I don't have any that I have on the couch.
Oh, my God.
Okay, bikini charms.
What?
Oh, a bikini charm.
Now, instead of, you know how for, no, you know how for,
oh, my God, the way your eyes look.
I love a belly chain.
I used to love a belly chain.
So sexy.
the way we used to have
a belly chain or the thing
now it's just a charm
and you put it
just where your bikini ties
and you just
I have that
just a bikini charm
I think I have bikinis
that just come with the charm
like they just like have it
yeah
people are buying individual
they're buying like
essentially jacks pants
and shirt
it's all charmies
yeah
why don't we just
and you can just hook them
to the sides of like
the ties and stuff
yeah
seems like too much work for me
but I love it
I want less
like the more stuff
that's happening
on my bathing suit
like the more annoying it is
like I'm either tanning
or I'm swimming
and then
but like
and that also worries me too
I always was told
growing up about
how
like
sharks
or predatory fish
are attracted
to shiny objects
and I'm like
I'm shaking my charms
in the ocean
I'm a target
I'm a target
and they're on the rise
shark attacks
I understand
bloomers
are back
oh no
I almost wore bloomers today
no
your legs can work
with a bloomer though
thank you so much
you do have great legs
Like an actual baby, which works with the booboo.
Bloomer, no.
You're not doing it?
I see them in every store I walk into, and I will never even try them on.
No.
What about for, like, at-home sexy style?
No.
Am I picturing the right thing?
That's, like, infantilizing.
What's the infantilizing?
It's infantilizing.
It's like a ranny panty that's roughly two-thick of rugrats.
No, this is, like, infantilizing grown women with the stuffed animals, the bloomers.
Yeah, I really don't like the bloomers.
Like, what are we going to have pacifiers next?
Oh, like the shorts, the bloomer shorts.
Yeah, the bloomer shorts.
Oh.
Yeah.
They look like a diaper sometimes.
Yeah, that's right.
The diaper part is...
I think I have...
You have to be really chic to call mom.
She's like, I think I have nine pairs.
No, I think I wore one white pair last year, and as I left my apartment, I thought, why
am I wearing these?
And I don't think I ever put them on again.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Okay.
Some of my legs are some shorts.
Like, it's, you know, some things don't look right, you know?
I wore baggy jeans the other night for our live show.
and my god i was horrified at the pictures that we got back because i was like these did not look
like how they looked at my head because i'm so short and when i know we just don't photograph
well in in the pictures we don't photograph jeans and everything i'm like models are not
five yeah exactly exactly because i was like what the is that how i look yeah everyone has to be
like no no and i'm like then i become annoying and it's like no that is how you look because
you're short looking back you look at those pictures and you're like oh no looking back
maybe heels would have been
a better. Heels and I kept asking you
I put heels on you kept saying no the sneakers
It's your fault. It's different in person
it was like in person the outfit looks
so cute with sneakers. Well you're like moving
and then obviously looking at the pictures from
stage I'm like well that looks different than how I
was looking at you. Eye to eye
level. Well this is my beef and I've talked about
it on the podcast I'm sorry to beat the dead horse but like
you know there's a lot of body inclusivity
in models now which is a wonderful
thing. You know what they're not doing?
Short models.
I'm f***ing annoyed
I'm so f***ing annoyed
I thought when is my time
I just want to know what the f***
I'm going to look like revolve in that f***ing dress
because when I get it I don't look like
the girl who was modeling it no matter what
her body type was
and I'm like that's so cute but I think you might be a little short
yeah it's awful
wait how tall are you? 5'3
me too

Now back to the Lady Gang.
mascara free makeup now they want us to not be wearing mascara and i say that as i'm wearing a
fake eyelash i slept in the plane i know how you feel i will i need a lash i think there's an age
limit on this yeah yeah i don't mind it to be honest i i'll do it every in the in the summer
it's so hot in new york city sometimes that i like a very i'll do very minimal or very light
layer of mascara
I will always curl my lashes
whether I put mascara on or not
if I curl my lashes and do no mascara
it's like still okay
but time and place
in my opinion for the no mascara
I'll never go to a function
without mascara
our makeup artist that we have
at our shows, Hayley, who's amazing
she has had to yell at me a couple times
like no we're putting the lash on you
you're not getting on that stage
you're not going on a screen
without a lash on and i'm like no she's like trust me and then i'm like you're so right like
there was one weekend i didn't do a lash recently and i look back at pictures oh god you know you
gotta go a little bit more over the top yeah i'm like oh you were so right yeah it pays off when
you get the pictures back but when you look at yourself in the mirror sometimes you're like
scared yikes that's a lot of makeup but then you look at the pictures like okay it was kind of
necessary no i do drag queen makeup every single night on e-news i've never looked better in the
photo and the video in person horrific um the broccoli haircut do we like it on the men's the
broccoli boys oh the broccoli boys yeah yeah yeah tapered sides and a curly top resembling a broccoli
yeah no no like benson boone's haircut is the broccoli oh no i don't mind it i like long hair
i've always loved long hair on guys like always since i was like as young as i can remember so
it's like it's better than like short hair for me but it's not long enough i guess it depends on how
styled really yeah because sometimes it looks a little more like tiktok boy hair it is broccoli
broccoli boy hair is the tiktok boy but some people some like guys that are older it looks
okay like i'm benson boone i don't mind it as much i think it suits him yeah but then like when i see
a tiktok boy with it i'm like you little douchey cat it depends on the face yeah yeah like if the
face is the vibe but it's like that's what about you it it's the same way with women that you're
like look a short haircut fantastic on some not fantastic on others depends on your fate we analyze
our faces so much to be like that's not the right haircut for that face shape yeah and boys we don't
do that as much and they should because you know they should it's so true okay tankini tankini is
the bathing suit of the summer is it really yeah that's what they said wow you know i loved i loved
And my mom loved a tankini back in the day, Mom.
I loved a tankini.
It just always made me think of my mom.
Yeah, I just think with the tan line situation, the tankini won't be good.
Yeah.
It just reminds me.
Do you wear sunscreen?
Of course I wear sunscreen, but I still get tan with sunscreen.
I put on so much sunscreen, and I still get tan, and people are yelling at me, like, you
have to wear sunscreen.
I'm like, you don't understand.
I was like, yeah, I really hit a nerve there asking about your sunscreen.
You look so mad.
This happened in, I remember the day.
It was in February.
I was in Florida for seven days and I trust me I wore a ton of sunscreen but I still just get tan
naturally yeah and people were people were dming me like you have to wear sunscreen I'm like guys
I'm wearing like spf 50 like I promise you we're good years ago I did it to her you're so good with
it now I'm so good now years ago I was like where there'd be I'd be like put your yeah but no now I
now I do I do yeah yeah I'll still get I'll get that but I like tankini I think they're really
cute becca do you do a tankini or you do a full unitard body no i do have a turtleneck swim shirt
so that's kind of a tankini because it's a top and then like you know that comes down with the
bikini bottom yep it's beautiful yep it has like a puff sleeve and a turtleneck but it's not like
a tankini it is because it's like there's a top and a bottom and the top is longer so it is a
tankini but it's not a tank i'd probably just go turtle kini you know full one piece over tankini
That's next up.
The turtle key.
The turtle key.
We got to go back to like the 1920s swimsuit.
It's full body.
You would love that.
I love it.
Swim costume.
Love it so much.
I would love a swim costume.
Okay.
The 90s footwear comeback.
The T-bar sandals, platforms, the Litas.
I had the Litas.
The Litas are for sale again.
What was a T-bar sandal?
I don't know.
You know, yes, you do.
It's like Jessica Simpson's shoe.
It's all wood on the bottom.
And then it's got a thing and the thing goes here.
It's a T-strap.
Is it like a T-strap?
It's a T-strap.
A T-strap.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Like those, like the, the.
Like a clog, but not a clog.
Like a Sam Edelman T-strap that I, I mean, I wore those.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yes.
And then the Steve Madden black slides.
Yes.
Yes.
I have a version of, actually, I think they are Steve Madden.
I like the slide.
Those slides are comfortable.
They're so comfortable.
And I love a platform.
Me too.
Always comfortable.
um the t-slides remind me of like my like high school party date like high school events like
high school graduation parties like a dress and like it really cuts off the leg which is yeah
it's really not that flattering um jellies are also i'm not into the jellies the jellies are
so back i've seen everyone wearing the jelly do i at every time i see someone wearing a jelly i go
are those comfortable? Because I just can't imagine
plastic is comfortable. Mine are
I swear to you I wore them on Saturday
all day in the city
and it was the most comfortable shoe I have worn
She influenced me to get them
and I've never felt uglier
in my life
And you think as a short person the jelly
is okay? Listen, sometimes I just
have to embrace the
you know, stockiness that is
5'3", you know
Are you into the jelly? Would you wear it
but you're worried?
I do it with like a barrel jean.
No, I'm actually not very into it either, so I guess, but you're just kind of selling
me on how comfortable, because I'm very into a seven, seven and a half.
I was like, I'll send you mine.
I'm just very into a comfortable shoe.
Anywhere I can find something comfortable.
Well, you should wear orthotic sandals like I did most days.
I said that the Amazon jellies that I posted about, those are identical to the Rowe jellies
that are like $900, so they're chic.
Wait, are you admitting that you wear a dupe?
well yeah I didn't know it was a dupe when I got it
but I don't do
label dupes
I don't do label dupes
too bad for you
those are probably more comfortable
oh for sure
I did question it I was like
now that I know it's a dupe I probably shouldn't be wearing them
okay
you're listening to the Lady Gang
we're very excited
um to have you guys at lady world tell the lady gang audience that well let's be honest everyone
that listens to chicks in the office also sometimes listens to lady gang you guys are massive
so what what can you tease about i know you don't know what you're doing but what can you tease
about a chicks in the office show outdoors at the beach lady world style oh good question i feel
like we just bring great energy on stage like whenever we step out on stage it's almost like
we become like different personas of ourselves like we love like a like a cute intro where we
walk out with great music dancing when we get out on stage we get the crowd try my best yeah we get
the crowd to stand up and dance and like really get the crowd going like we don't like to just
be like like all like what's a great walkout song for you we do lose control by missy elliott
right now which we think is a fantastic walkout song and then noah our producer and sarah they
are fantastic at what they do
during the show as well.
They got sound effects.
They really know how to add to the show.
They got music incorporated.
We don't just sit there and talk.
We do do that and we do talk about
the pop culture topics and we joke around
with each other or people in the crowd
even, but I think
our producers add a great element to the
show where they're always... Is Noah coming?
Noah will be there. Noah, are you
going to do programming? We have special
events during the day for the men.
hey I'm down for whatever
Noah
Noah sells
Noah puts asses in seats
yes
really Noah
a lot of signs are about Noah
some ladies they hear
Noah's coming
that might be the selling point
that they need
Noah are you
do you have a girlfriend
no I don't
he's single
no he's single
and he'll let everybody know
can we do a faction thing
can we do off
we've tried this before
but at lady world

I like being on stage
yeah he does
no that's fine
okay let's not forget
about the time
You launched yourself onto stage last week.
Yeah, you threw yourself on stage last week.
Hold on.
Noah or anyone else on the team, could we put together a two-minute highlight reel,
like Bachelor style, of Noah?
Like, he's this, he's this, this is the family, this is what he needs, whatever.
And then we'll surprise everyone.
And all we'll do, we did this at one of our shows.
We'll do that.
We'll bring you out.
You can just do a quick shot.
He's shy.
He just wants you to be the star of his life.
And then we'll put a QR code up.
Yeah.
And the QR code is an application.
Noah would love a QR code for him.
We'll go to your Instagram or your Hinge or wherever.
Yeah.
Wait, that is amazing.
He has Hinge still?
It'll go right to your Hinge profile.
I'm going to go get money for you.
I don't think you can do that.
But we'll find, we'll, you know, yes.
We'll be like, here's the QR code to send Noah a message.
Yeah.
Oh, perfect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's like, that way I don't have to talk to a person.
Girls go crazy for Noah at the shows.
No, this will be amazing.
We were doing a 30 before 30 list for Noah
before he turns 30 in October.
And one of the girls brought a sign to the show
was like, put me on your 30 before 30 list.
Add me as a thing to do on your 30 before 30 list.
What are the most wild things on that 30 list?
He has to go bungee jumping.
You know where you could do that?
Miramar Beach.
They have a wonderful, I bungee jumped one time
and it was this part of Florida.
She bungee jumped one time.
Oh, look at that.
