well what is this welcome to the vampire that's amazing say that again the vampire things are about to change around here it's time to catch up with the girl gang kelty knight becca tobin and jack vanik everyone right now i am wearing a sequin jacket that is a vintage from wasteland in la and i would like the girls to describe it she does look really cute i mean you look like a like a Arabian princess yes thank you

my mom had something like that she wore around the holidays yes she did that's why we love her yes anyway we're so excited that you guys are joining us on this podcast

and it's been a very big week for us but I want to tell you that you can always go to podcastone.com to check us and all the other great podcasts out make sure to follow us on at fempirepodcast.com and go to itunes and subscribe and honestly this week more than ever subscribing is going to be

very important because we're going to tell you in a little bit when it comes to good week bad week but we you have to subscribe or you might never hear from us again just kidding um that's it that's all i wanted to say all right well i guess it's time for good week yes it is bad week oh no oh god this week okay i'm gonna start because i actually just rushed over here hauled ass from a an infectious disease doctor oh perfect yeah that's right so wait are you it's a virus which means it's not contagious i've been tested for literally everything under the sun i backstory i'm gonna give you an abbreviated version because this has like been going on for a week and it's been every day and every minute of every day. So I went to Tulum for my 30th

birthday. It was like the most magical trip ever. And I was with my closest friends, my boyfriend, my sister, and her husband, like probably the most incredible trip that my boyfriend planned as a surprise for me. What a good boyfriend you have. Good week. Your boyfriend's awesome. That's part of the good week. Um, however, three days after returning from Tulum, I, meanwhile, while I was there, I got covered in bug bites, mosquito bites, because that's just the person I am like my whole life. So it's really kind of normal for me to come back from a tropical vacation looking like I have chicken pox. However, three days later, I get the worst fever ever. That's just not going away. And then this really specific pain behind my eyes, like horrible. I

couldn't move my eyeballs around. So but you just lay there just staring forward. I was so miserable. And finally, on day two, my sister's like, go to the emergency room because you've been in a foreign country and you have bug bites all over yourself. Like everyone knows in the news right now, there's all these crazy reports about all these viruses that people are getting in places like Mexico. So I go to the ER. The doctor like is kind of a dick and he's kind of looking at me like he looks at probably every young girl that comes in just not feeling good.

He doesn't know. Becca Tobin, not a delicate flower. And I'm not a delicate flower. I'm not, and this really made me feel like Yolanda Foster, you know, it's like she really, I, I have so much sympathy for her now because it's like, you know, when you're not feeling well and if you're like a tough cookie normally, like it takes a lot to bring you down. So this doctor is like, okay, you're fine. Like they do some blood work.

Meanwhile, I didn't find out until today at the doctor's office that, that specializes in this, that my blood work was actually pretty terrible. So like my platelets were down. my white blood cells, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Wait, and they told you you were fine. They were like, oh, it's a little, it's a little bit, whatever you're fighting off a virus, blah, blah, blah. But you can't do anything for a virus.

And I'm like, if one more person tells me you can't do anything for a virus, I am aware that you can't do anything for a virus, but you can do things like find out you don't have Zika or dengue so that you're not then dead 24 hours later or have a baby with a tiny head, which is the side effect of Zika. Oh yeah. Yeah. So I'm just like frustrated. so then he refers me to a regular doctor general practitioner great the guy laughs in my face when

i say it might be dengue fever because the pain behind the eyes after googling that yeah that's a very specific comes up yeah comes up like all over my sister meanwhile is like a self-proclaimed doctor who googles everything under the sun web md so did you think well number one probably you thought you were dying i thought i was dying yeah one night you can't google anything no you can't But I am, however, I'm really glad because I really wasn't, I wasn't letting this go. I was like, I know that this is what I have and it's too, it's too on the nose for all these symptoms. And the doctor's like, oh my God, we can't even test you for that.

If you haven't been to Africa, we're not testing you for that. You don't have dengue fever. Meanwhile, I wouldn't give up the fight because my fever just wouldn't go away. And he finally referred me to an infectious disease doctor. I go in today and we go through all my symptoms. He's such a nice guy. And I'm like, you know, it kind of crossed my mind, like it could have been dengue, but like this doctor told me like, absolutely not.

And he's like, it absolutely could have been that. It probably was that. So moral of the story. So do you have it? Do you have the dengue? And what do you do for dengue? Most likely that's what it is. At this point, I could get tested, but he, you know, like every other doctor says, there's

nothing you can do at this point. So there's no special. no like i've been through the scary phase of it to where i could have died but nobody really does you know die from this it's like pretty hard to die however it's like it's probably not that hard to die when you're in africa though i don't know so anyways i was like you know what i don't need to know but actually just hearing you say that's probably what it was and not laugh at me feels really freaking nice the moral of the story here is doctors don't know everything webmd the f out of everything and if you really are you have a conviction and you think it's true go to a

specialist like what's the worst thing that can happen and doctors stop being such don't be so arrogant oh rude anyway okay well i'm glad you made it through i know i'm glad that you're here and you're not dead i have a 99 degree fever right now so wow you know what's so funny when you walked in i thought becca is so like glowy like your skin i thought you had tons of sex today no no it's no sex it's just wow it looks great thank you gotta do that before your next audition it's incredible this kind of like pisses me off because you look so good when you look so good right now guys no but even that remember that picture from which got the oh the when you had the rash you looked so good yeah thank you better than me i'm like my most perfect you know

what we don't want to be friends with you anymore yeah no you're out totally fine i'll take it did you have in a good week um i mean probably not tough it's really tough have you lost any weight sweating out the fever no i'll tell you i haven't because i've been eating pink berry here's the good week pink berry has a flavor that i'm addicted to and i'm not even a frozen yogurt person but i now get grapefruit flavor a pink berry with coconut and mochi and i've been having that for dinner almost every night wait do they still have the watermelon flavor um i don't know but that sounds gross watermelon with like watermelon okay turkey ice cream shut it down we know your favorite ice cream so i'm sorry for my long boring medical story but jack please please lift us up

okay so i'm gonna lift you up specifically because i was going through my office the other day and i found something and it's for you oh my god please describe what so about like five years ago i made Gleek bracelets so yes I was profiting off your show I think I get residuals for this so I owe you like like nine dollars or something you know what I love it was it a bestseller uh it sold a lot back in the day yeah I'm not surprised I'm glad I didn't get sued you know because usually it's sued for things it's so awful when people use your things and then they don't like it right I know huh but that's a good week for you Becca it's good so now you have a good week oh thanks jack i'm such a gleek i know you are i think you can still buy them so jackvanek.com yeah all you

gleeks out there we can be matching yeah match back up so my my real good week is oh really you're gonna go from good week to gooder week oh but then it goes it goes back down and like hits the ground don't worry so well this is gonna help you i'm just helping you guys today that's all i'm doing good friend so the last show that we had kelty kind of like released her crazy ex girlfriend stories upon us and thought i think she thought that we were gonna come back with our crazy ex-girlfriend stories you think you thought no i felt like you were definitely gonna also have stories of when you acted crazy and becca's never been dumped and you had no stories because i'm not insane i'm too lazy to be crazy that's that's my motto easy to be crazy

it's gonna be a jacket it's already in the works too lazy to be crazy that is my motto it's such a motto oh incredible so anyways can you do a dengue t-shirt yes dengue fever down with dengue raise awareness down with the dengue it's i'm not glowing it's the people i'm sweating it's not sexual penetration okay anyways okay so um because i felt bad for kelty i posted a little thing on our on our vampire instagram like because okay i've done this before because i feel like crazy ex-girlfriend stories are so fun and most people have them so i've actually posted this on my own instagram a while a while ago got amazing stories from people being absolutely nuts but so i did it

again on our vampire one and we got some really good stories so i'm just gonna mention a couple okay so basically the post just said what's the craziest thing you've ever done to your ex or whatever so abby veyer says sent a teeny tiny dick pic to every girl in his phone saying it was his and he broke his phone so he couldn't deny it yes which i think is amazing you you get the crown from me from one crazy yeah to another i feel like yeah that's something that you 100 see that's good because it's almost like it's not passive-aggressive but i think it's more I'm pretty sure that's just aggressive. It's aggressive.

But it's like, you don't have to do anything. Probably illegal. So good. But like, you don't have to move and like light something on fire. You can do it just while you're sitting there. You probably won't go to jail. So this, another one is from Erin underscore D9. And she says, I found out he was on a dating site while we were together and cheating.

So I catfished him using a friend's pics. And it was when it was time for their date. i showed up with four friends and a bag of his stuff including his sneakers filled with dog poop he didn't find the poop for three days amazing so i love the energy to be on dating sites and date someone i did how did i do that i'm so lazy because it's lazy too lazy to be crazy it's lazy okay so my bad week it all comes down good so my pms is at an all-time high like all time of my life high and i've been crying over everything i've been irritated over everything

but your boobs look great yep sure they're so swollen and it's really my boobs are so big and perky right now it's exhausting so hard becca always talks about my boobs but i wear the most padded bras ever uh-huh whatever it's working i can't even feel if you touch it i'm touching it i can't feel um so last night i went to mcdonald's i got a large fry and like a 12 piece chicken nugget yeah you did you know how they make those don't oh yeah don't even go there no don't care at all and i sat in my car and listened to rewind by rascal flats on repeat for 45 minutes did you get dumped and sobbed my eyes out did you get dumped did you get dumped no i'm like as happy as can be but i will mention that this is the second time i've done this i did it a year ago

because i think it's the most romantic song in the entire world and i was sobbing because i was like this is so great all i want is like for somebody to treat me this way like it's the most beautiful song ever and then last night i i found a man that treats me that way and i was sobbing because i was so happy oh it was happy tears but it's still tears and i still was so upset oh my god too lazy to be crazy not lazy at all just crazy that's not lazy no i never said so it was kind of a good week well okay i'm gonna i'm gonna go into like a little bit of a batter week okay it'll be how come you're getting good good or bad yeah this is ridiculous my week has been all just be good or bad stop taking the spotlight well so a little word to the wise

This tea that helps you run. Yeah, it's not that good. Kind of tastes like... Okay, so here's the thing. I'm going to start with my good week. I have found our new favorite Instagram to follow. What? It's at KanyeDoingThings.

Oh, no. And it's basically... Wait, can we talk about the butt thing? No. Oh. It's too much. I can't. So, KanyeDoingThings is an Instagram where it's just this guy making fun of Kanye.

And it's basically like him in the front seat of the Lakers game and it's yawning. and it's like Kanye yawning and then it's like Kanye not buying this whole key to success bullshit and then it's like Kanye pushing North's stroller in Disneyland like it's so dumb and it's so funny like one of them is him on the beach

and it just says Kanye sanding off his towel it's really funny they have one of these with Kim Jong Un and it's really good pretty pretty good okay anyway I felt I felt like it was a nice find yeah that's good I like that okay let's go into my bad week

this bad week was so bad that three days ago I had to text everyone in the group chat and say my bad week is so good that always makes me so excited I know anytime one of us here it is I got it well exactly what you guys said was gonna happen happened your husband left you yeah no so listen my husband who I love so dearly it's my birthday yesterday and I always have the worst birthdays. There's something about Christmas is amazing. Valentine's day is awesome. My anniversary is always delicious. Something bad happens on my birthday every year. Like it's just a crappy time. And I don't know if it's, I bring it into my universe because I'm like manifesting emo or whatever. Anyway. So my husband was on a work trip. I could not even

sleep for two days. He's in New York and he was in Miami and he's all over the place with one of his clients and like they're on a private jet. And I'm pretty sure there were like whores around anyway. So I couldn't sleep for two days and I was like, I don't know what's happening. And one of the nights i was so restless i took a night quill and i still couldn't sleep so i got up and i walked down the street on santa monica boulevard which is like i don't live in the middle of the night yes and i got four donuts a boston cream wait where did you go donut time you know that place is like a drug literally where you go to buy drugs yes and donuts so i had a boston cream a classic i had a chocolate i ate them all at one time then i went to sleep i woke up the next

morning my makeup artist is like your face is really puffy i'm like yeah because they don't it's at three in the morning i can't see my husband's out of town there's probably some drugs in there hubs comes home and he he's like how was your week oh good my week was good too great great and he's like okay cool i'm gonna shower and i'm like okay he goes turns the water off and he turns the water on he comes he sits on the end of the bed and he goes i have something to tell you my whole like self is like what anyway long story short wait that was the most terrifying thing you've ever done it was horrendous and i just couldn't even breathe wait anyway so i'm thinking like it's over we're divorced like i'm so confused anyway he was like listen i was

in new york i went to the strip club and i was with like other guys and everyone was doing it and i got a lap dance and i feel really guilty so i'm gonna like tell you right now and i said you know i said i'm so cool with this i'm totally fine night just kidding i cried for like a whole day and i was like oh my god all the things that the girls told me are true like i'm not sexy enough and i'm not hot enough and now he's gonna find another woman named like bunny like i don't know wait what does the donuts have to do with this is this i just knew in my gut that like someone's shenanigans were going on carb you know anyway so here's the thing so i ended up everything listen here's what you want on a husband you want someone that's gonna come and say yo some

shenanigans happened like it's cool i love you it wasn't like the shenanigans like champagne room shenanigans yes wait like you got like a hand job oh no no no i don't think so i don't think it probably was just i don't know what happens in a private room no no no no and it's fine it's private and then maybe they can do some i used to work at one it's i'm just kidding anyway so the good thing is bunny um kitty ambrosia ambrosia anyway so i realized that i really am lucky because I do have a good husband and I really do love him so much. But the best part, this goes into my good week, which was like, that was really horrible and kind of like, Oh, in my heart. But then for my birthday, I woke up the next morning after this conversation, it was a card on the

table and I opened the card and it was like the most beautiful card. Like you're my whole world. I love you so much. And then it had all these little spa services and he had made little check marks and he's like, I'm taking you for a spa day on Saturday. Check which one you want. And I was like, you cheated. No, I was like, your shenanigans caused me to eat four donuts. I'm going to have to Tracy Anderson every day this week to fit into my Grammy dress. So I checked every single box except the chiro therapy because that's just way too cold for me. So anyway, so you basically are taking your husband to the cleaners. Hey, that sounds good to me. It's fine. He went to the strip club and yeah, it's kind of, is it okay for guys to go to the strip club? A hundred percent.

yeah i think listen but you know what here's the thing you can let them go to the strip club when they're with like they're like bros and stuff yeah but like you can tell if your husband's or boyfriend is going to go into the champagne room depending on what guy he's going to the strip club with yeah yeah so i will say you know there's it's a real thing like the champagne room and like some sexual acts being done but i feel like when most guys go especially your husband who's like the so sweet yeah you know he's not gonna do anything weird he probably like felt so bad for just being in the strip club that he probably was like yeah for sure i i think it's totally fine i mean i would probably be like hey can you give me a heads up if you're going yeah because then i'll

like send someone in disguise to like videotape you 100 put on a wig like glasses but you know a heads up would have been nice but but you know what it's it's fine it's not like i'm just always torn between like i'm not a regular wife i'm a cool wife but i'm not i'm like a total psycho wife no no no you're a cool wife your husband is a music manager i mean you have to be cool to even yeah he's like out traveling with like some of the biggest artists in the world it's that requires a lot of trust on your end anyway if you guys are wondering why i guess i'm feeling puffy it's the four donuts thanks husband anyway i can't believe you went to donut time that's scene i can't either well um okay well i want to say this i'm very excited about what's coming up

next because since it is my birthday week we invited my best friend forever christina perry to the podcast and she's so radical and so magical and she's going to inspire the crap out of you and she has such good stories and so i'm very excited about that but we also have something to tell you a collective bad week it's probably the worst it's kind of we're starting this the way that chris started telling kelty about the strip club yeah we're sitting on the end of your bed right now yeah and you just ate a bunch of donuts you just ate some donuts because you're feeling like something is off right there's something we have to tell you we got in a little bit of trouble we started the vampire podcast and got really excited and did a photo shoot and did a logo

and got it up on itunes and we worked our butts off we worked so hard to get this podcast up then out of the internet abyss came someone who actually legally owns the name vampire now we were confused by this because she hadn't really um done a whole lot like the brand wasn't out there it wasn't like nike where you were like yeah someone obviously already started nike like it was like a little bit of a disarray so we weren't sure what's going on so then the vampire became very popular and it's awesome and you guys listened and you loved it and you shared it and it's everywhere and we have like over 4 000 social media followers already on instagram like in just a few weeks which is just mind-blowing the bad news is is that we are going to have to change

the name of the podcast so that we don't get sued because we want to continue to buy bags and shoes and lap dances i want to i want to be able to afford rent yes and so um we're going to change the name. Um, next week we're going to debut a new name, but the best part is, is that we need your help. We need your help finding a new name for our little girl gang. And so please head on over to our Instagram and tell us what you think we should call ourselves. We have one week to change everything and become best friends with everyone at iTunes and figure out what we're going to do. But the truth is, is that this is exactly what we hoped it would be. This little conversation we have every week and the feedback we've gotten is just incredible and honestly we

could call this the poop podcast and i think everyone would still really enjoy it the poop podcast is number one on our list so please prove us wrong yeah please give us like a two through five that we can choose from yes but poop podcast is our go-to right and so in this next week if you could please tell all your friends and make sure you subscribe and like really blow it up because we're gonna make this bigger than ever because what does a hard-working girl do when The hard, real world of law gets you down. Don't say no? You don't say no.

You get a new name. You keep going and you make it the biggest brand in the entire world. Poop podcast. That's true. Poop podcast. You can't get us down. Raise a glass with the vampire. Well, we are back.

And this is so, so, so exciting because Christina Perry is here. Yay! welcome to the podcast thank you um she's basically the queen of heartbreak i mean there's no one that gets having your heart melted like you when jar of hearts came out i used to do what jack did at mcdonald's parking lot no way oh my god yes i used to do it too and that's why i wrote jar of hearts at least you're talented we just can't do anything well thank you so first of all yay you're here i'm really excited thanks for having me you guys are amazing. Giant fans. We're such big fans and I want to get right to it. So what, let's start

with the sad stuff. What has been the Hollywood heartbreak? What has been the moment in your career where you thought you were going to get something or you thought something was going to happen and you had already like spent the money in your head. You were already there and then it fell to the floor. Whoa, that's a good question. Just in my career, not in life. No, it has to be Hollywood. Hollywood. Um, okay. It could be a Hollywood. How about this? There's like 25 things I can say. Um, cause that's how this goes. You know, um, I think like my first, you know, I started in 2010 professionally. And, um, I think that for the first, my first album cycle was about 27 months long and I didn't look up. Like I was just like, Oh my God, what's happening.

And I was terrified most of the time. So I didn't see the behind the scenes stuff. I didn't really know, like when things would happen, it was like, cool. You know, they like you here, go here. And Like I was so not jaded, I think, you know, because I didn't have any experience of ever having my dreams come true before. So as they came true, I was just like, this is the best thing ever. And I didn't notice dreams not coming true or specific gigs and cool projects and endorsements and I don't know all that stuff. Then I, you know, took a break and did my second album.

And that was totally different. I was like a different person because I had, you know, done it one way and then realized I wanted it to be bigger and better. and um i think my entire second album cycle i was forced well also because jar of hearts was so huge and like because of so i think you can dance and then a thousand years it was so huge because of twilight so when i came out with the second album human didn't have anything so i was the vehicle you know i didn't have like an extra vehicle with it so i was faced with like selling myself for the first time uh so far in my career i guess that's like a general one but i would say like having to

sit and do uh you know all different things and be really like uh selling myself sounds awful but you know what i mean like that is what it is though yeah like wearing something really cute and like doing things you know saying certain things in interviews and like you know just even if i didn't believe that i was that cool or or pretty i had to pretend like i was and like i felt like i was and that's really weird uh to me and now that i'm doing my third album i'm going to reject all that forever and never do that again i've decided i'm never going to feel that way and if it works cool if it doesn't cool but now i'm not gonna like try really hard to make certain specific things happen because if it doesn't i don't want to feel like crap well at least you're

true to yourself in the end seriously yeah and i realize i i'm really okay like i got to a place at 29 where like i'm cool with whatever happens i really truly am you know that it's very interesting becca always said this said this one thing and i've never forgotten it she said you know when glee happened and it was all like i was walking red carpets and everyone around me was so excited for me and i sort of like waited till i was excited like i was waiting till i felt excited yeah you're kind of waiting to sort of like catch up with what the with reality and you never really do so you like plaster a smile on your face and you go through the motions yeah but then at the end you feel pretty empty because you're like number one i have not been myself for a year

two years whatever yeah so it's pretty cool that you've been able to get back to this place i'm still trying i'm still working it out i you know what else you know what really helped what really helped was watching a lot of my friends go through it and just be like wow i don't want to be them yeah you know and like genuinely not like of course everybody wants to sell right tons of records and you know be on the cover of magazines and whatever maybe but like when i watched a lot of my friends the light went out in them you know and i was friends with them the whole time so they weren't on when they were with me anyway and then they weren't on anymore when we were just hanging out and i was just like whoa where did they go and i watched that so many times that i decided like

you know like i said like i'm just not gonna i don't need that if it happens cool but i'm not gonna put an expectation yeah what's the moment in all of this where you thought you were the ish like where you were you thought i am it this is gonna be so different than reality because me thinking i'm the ish yeah is like the dorkiest thing ever versus like what society might think all right so me thinking like that my one of my favorite moments in my entire life was uh when i went on tour with the twilight cast and i was in a private jet with uh all the actors and i i was sweating in the back row like my hands were super sweaty because jackson's name is uh jasper and like ash's name is uh alice and i was just like oh my god i'm not i i can't do this like i was i

was nerding out so hard i just didn't call any of them anything and then like my my luggage came out of the private plane and had twilight band-aids all over it they're like who's this and i was like i don't know and uh an hour later you're like i need to get my bag so i was like at a point in my life where and kelty knows it's like twilight like when i moved to my shoebox apartment on beach road avenue covers framed on the wall but i had nothing else i had no furniture i'm a twi hard you are a twi hard yeah they're my two people i have the tattoo and this is all before all before three years before wait i got one for you that no one knows okay i waited you might know this Kelsey, I waited in line for four hours to see Twilight New Moon by myself at Universal

CityWalk when I realized that all the girls were going to go after school. So I was like, oh my God, I'm going to not get a good seat because I didn't have like an assigned seat. So I went at three in the afternoon and wore a hot pink hoodie and pretended I was 17. And then the best part was I made friends with all the little girls waiting and I went to pee like a half hour before they let everyone in and they surprised everyone and let them in. But the little girls that I was standing with all day, like literally grabbed my stuff and

saved me a seat. I feel like our friend needs to be received by us. I don't know who they are, where they are. I don't know if they know who I am now. I wish I could thank them for that. That's so cute. So that's how Twilight-y I've always been. So obviously for me, that was a huge moment.

I feel like a lot of people can identify with that, though, because there's a bajillion people that are as obsessed with Twilight. Yeah, and that was the whole point of this tour I did where I was doing their promo. So they would do interviews, and I would come out and do three songs. And one of the Q&As were like, how does it feel to be on tour with Christina Perry like they asked the actor that you know like it was just because they were my people and I would get up there and be like I see you

like I feel you like everything you're thinking like I'm thinking too like and that was just a highlight what was like what was the Hollywood moment I think the Hollywood moment uh okay would probably be uh my very last show I did which was sold out 55,000 people singing a duet with Ed Sheeran at Gillette Stadium in Boston I mean that's like pretty good that's a huge like thing and chris martin played my piano i mean like that stuff is like very cool but like my version of cool is different it's like meeting share and like you know barack obama cartney yeah yeah playing for barack obama was big one yeah that's that's pretty cool so cool yeah i have a great photo of all of us oh yeah um i know that you have a lot of friends i mean none more important than

me but obviously um who do you still follow on social media like secret stalker style that you haven't met that you haven't interacted with but you're oh so not people i've made out with or anything like not a guy or you could divulge that hold on yeah we love do you have people that you've made out with that are famous that no one knows about yep you know i do i mean i'm asking as your podcast host and not as your best friend of course i know yes yes yes and uh i can't say what's the secret life of dms on your twitter like is it oh you know what traveling goes on right yeah have you ever like i'm over it though the dm like gone to know somebody through that yep and gone out with and hung out with and made out with yeah just because of dm that's you know

but that's i just do that all the time it's the weirdest thing and then actually i stopped like a couple like when i see guys because the thing that's weird is if you have the verified like check yeah some guys will follow me and then unfollow me and then follow me again like so many times so i'll see it yeah so clearly i'm like never like you know and then i wouldn't do that but then there's some of like my favorite people that i've accidentally tweeted this is how i figured out what the dm situation was because i would just watch my favorite tv shows movies and you know listen to my favorite music and tweet at the band or artist or actor yeah and then they would follow me and tweet me back and be like sup you know and give me their phone number

and i'm like whoa yeah dude yes so i did this yeah yeah it happened a couple times good i'm not alone lifestyles of the rich but now i'm over it now i think it's kind of weird and as soon as someone dms me i'm like oh and i don't even open it just in case they can see i don't open it that just made me sound like an awful person i'm really sorry it's so hard when the a-list celebrities dm me i know justin bieber stop messaging no no no come on we would never even reply to justin but i don't know about anybody else that uh friend i follow all my friends that like are you don't have like a secret stalker yeah that you're not friends with that you like wish that you'd be friends with oh yeah okay i do that i do that with the kardashians oh and gg

and uh the models wait what's the other one cara cara sorry um i feel like you and carla would be actually be really good friends maybe it's so funny i've actually followed and unfollowed them before because i'm like why am i following them and we're not friends in real life and then every once in a while i'm like i want to see what they're wearing oh so i like going and then i like clear my search history so it's not like i i like have to look at the fact i looked at that that's just truth i'm dropping truth bombs don't all those girls feel like the popular girls in high school right now oh god i'm a million years older than gg and kendall and all those girls but like for whatever reason the people i follow on social media it's just flooding every oh yeah

magazine every blog like it's always them and i'm like i sort of want to unfollow these people because it feels creepy i did i did that i always forget how young they are and when gg who'd she date joe jonas and then she dated the cody one direction guy i'm like why isn't she dating like some hot man where's your billionaire honey she's 18 and i forget because she looks like she's like also she is comes from so much money that she's never gonna have to have sex with an old rich man yeah that's true you know when i said i interviewed gg when she was like a little baby on the cody simpson video no no it was like a couple years ago and she wasn't gg yet but then i saw her at fashion week and i remembered why she's a star her thigh gap is crazy i was like year i really

like her though if we're going into this like i know uh i don't know anything about her but i like her body type you know what i mean for being super famous i'm into it she's not a stick figure which is because she has boobs here's the thing yeah she's no she's very thin but she's not like when you go to fashion week people are barely walking like they're so thin she's like regular thin she's beautiful her legs are literally when i interviewed her her legs went up to like the bottom of my ribs yeah i think they're amazing and i love what they wear i love their street wear oh you know that's true so um so christina yeah jack and becca like to make fun of me um because i like a mirror message i like an inspirational quote on my mirror

and i'm so glad you're here because i know you're much like me and my thinking i do have a mirror message yet what is it it just says smile well that's not that i know i know i can go into another one if you want well here's an interesting story i think we've told this story before but christina and i every year we write a letter to the universe yeah and we make things happen um and like many years ago she literally was like oh well i want to tour jason mraz and i want to play songs and i want to like get a record deal and kelty's was have great bangs quit diet coke stop dating asses yeah um and uh give christina magic motivational moonbeams mindset bask in kelty's magic motivational moonbeams and everything on our list came true that year

write a book you would write a book everything good bangs bangs all six things came true next year we wrote like 26 yeah a lot of them came true too yeah every year i had beyond the breaking dawn soundtrack in all capital letters yep and it happened so anyway everything's happened so poo-poo on you guys are like witches i know are we like sabrina the teenage witch or are we just very open and like manifesting because like we're willing to work for it too i think that's it i think you have to make your intention and work yeah it's a lot of work happen while you just sit on your ass you can't be lazy yeah but i do think writing it down i think like when we type it sometimes it doesn't happen it's like for me i have to write down with my hand because the very

first list i was writing down you were like grab a pen yeah you're right i still so other than smile do you have like a mantra life lesson my mantra life lesson really comes for me right before i walk on stage so like when i um i'm doing other things in the world like throughout the day i feel like i'm okay but like when i'm about to go on stage like i want to die and like my whole uh body wants to go the other way and i'm always really freaked out that my feet just walk me out on stage like even though every single like nerve and like uh my whole central nervous system is like shutting down i can feel it like i'm gonna die i'm gonna die and then i just walk out on stage and smile and like and and do my thing so i've gotten really good at talking to

myself before each show so that it would get a little bit easier each time even though it really hasn't but maybe it's because i do this and it's i say uh it's kind of classic it's like uh i'm enough just the way that i am like it doesn't matter what i sound like today look like today if i'm like bloated they have no idea if i'm like 10 my voice is like 10 hoarser than it was the night before they have no idea like what they're getting of me right now is so 100 okay that's why they came and then i walk out on stage does it go away once you start your nerve your nerves um for me it's the third song so the first two are like throwaways i'm like they better not be important because i can't breathe your voice is like shaky and stuff oh oh my god every single

time it's like people know this though we get so yeah everyone i mean my band does i don't think the audience well i've asked a lot of people that i love and trust and they're like you're crazy you don't look nervous at all so apparently i think the trick is you smile i think when you're smiling and like doing dorky dance moves like i do people are so distracted they don't realize that you're about to barf you're like i'm just gonna move around a lot they won't notice that i'm freaking out on the inside um yeah i think so last question does it ever scare you to be like the sad song girl like are you ever scared that you're never gonna allow to be happy like what happens if you get happy and then how are you gonna write the songs that everyone like cries over well that's

a very good question yeah i've thought about it a lot i also love people like elizabeth gilbert who talk about creativity and how like you know for me it's also like having such a big song like a thousand years because that is the biggest one i have and that was like four years ago so like how do i navigate through that and how do i be creative still um i think it's tied up in what you're saying about sad songs because you know jar is like the my my dark sad song and i have uh plenty of experience to pull from for life for that um but a thousand years is really happy i mean it was like the opposite i did kind of do a one you know kind of both ends but um i am really
