Normally this would be Becca. It's our first sad podcast we have ever done without Becca Tobin. I can't believe it, really. This seems weird, Jack. It's like me and you and some bitchiness. This is like a very big missing piece. I know. But Becca is, of course, up in Canada.

She's shooting her movie right now. So good week. Becca got a job after all these years. Bad week. We're really missing her and we don't really know what to do with our lives. But here's the reason why. We have been trying to get our guest today on our podcast for many, many months because we have been obsessed with his show and his personality and himself. And he's now so busy in superstardom.

this was literally the only day we could get him and so we had to hunger games we had to take what we can get we had to decide who do we love more our guest or becca and it's you guys might have thought we'd pick yeah you might have thought we'd pick becca but sorry becca just so you know we've been doing our podcast for two and a half years and we've never not all been here together we canceled all the time we're like if not all of us can be here like i'm sorry beyonce you're not gonna be able to be on the podcast and becca's like i think i think we have to i think i can't be there we can't cancel we'll never get him again he's so busy such a start so let me introduce our guest today and then we're going to include him on good week bad week our guests today give us

for having me also I feel some pressure to fill these gorgeous shoes I know the pressure's on

the pressure's real like I don't want to like jizz you out but you know this is real no I came to play I have my fourth copy for today

I'm so ready week and out you're ready to go i'm so ready okay on that note then it is time for good week yes it is bad week oh no who's gonna go first i kind of want you to go first because i'm dying to know what's going on like does your people know that you are currently in this do we want yes okay yeah yes so we know gorgeous sling she's getting new york realness yes well listen she has many more gorgeous slings than this that are bedazzled and colored yes everything well that was going to be my good week so it's fine it's fine so as we all know a couple weeks ago i was in a near-death experience head-on collision oh my god has everyone already heard about it and i'm just

like late no i'll give you the cole's notes in case you aren't listening to every episode which you should be but obviously i am but i have a short-term memory loss yeah that's what it is i was too in a head-on collision and forgot about the last episode or two i was driving home from work after podcasting i drove a mini cooper a woman made an illegal turn now i love rules And when you break the rules, I was holding my hands 10 and 2. And when you hold your hands 10 and 2 and then someone hits you head on, your body crumples into like a mush-mosh. And basically the doctor's like, your arm is slush. We need to rebuild it from – so I got unconscious.

I went to the hospital and the ambulance. You were unconscious. And then you woke up in the ambulance. I woke up outside the accident. Like I donked and then I came to and I had blood coming down. Thank God. My face is fine. She didn't even have a scratch on her face at all.

Your face looks amazing. So face is good. I mean, the pain pills and stuff are making me a little puffy, which I'm disappointed at for spring. You look good now, though. Yeah? Okay. I don't see a puffiness.

I don't see. I see youthful glow. I see beautiful face. I see giving spring. I see coming into summer. I see clamor. Thank you. Yeah.

So anyway, I've been kind of... Did you scream at her right out of the car? Were you like, you... No, because I thought I killed her. Do we cuss here? Yes, we do. I thought I killed her because no one came out of her car. and it was not my was she unconscious too well she was in the her driver's side but she had to

crawl across because it was such a bad accident that her car and my car were totaled sort of together to become one like the spice girls song and she couldn't open her door so she had to crawl over her seat but so she made an illegal left you were going straight and you just t-boned her ass but it was totally her fault because she made the illegal and she didn't even get hurt did she not really no which is a miracle because you probably ran right into her ran right into her door her her door that's but she was driving like a big mom car you know what i mean i was driving like i'm so sorry did you guys even talk we didn't talk but i was like i mean in that moment i was fairly canadian where i was just worried that i killed the woman you're canadian yeah and i was

like no i was like is everyone okay and i she was just apologizing for the patient hospital like do you need to go to the hospital like i was like do you need to go to the hospital we're calling 911 like i just got out of the car and started screaming we need help we need help and all the people on ventura came out of the restaurants and everyone was helping me and it was so amazing And can I just tell you that she texted us, like, right after she got in this accident. We were just finishing podcasting at night. She texts us being like, car accident, hospital. Then we come to find out that she thought that she took a limo to the hospital.

And when she was at the hospital, she was making all the doctors do dance-offs and then was trying to find me a boyfriend. All after she shattered her arm. Yeah. Her arm was shattered. So we have a new bionic arm under here. 12 weeks in the sling, everything. Screws. Yeah.

And here's the greatest thing. So last week, I'll just tell this story quickly. Elena took me to the doctor last week, and I had to get my cast off and a new cast put on, and I'm like, Elena. Did you, like, scratch your arm a lot? Like, oh, is it good to get this off me? No, because I followed the rules. They were like, do not stick anything down this cast.

No chopsticks, no straws. They're like, it will get infected. And I was like, that's okay. Are you itchy? I followed the rules, Jonathan. Of course I was, but I followed the rules. But when you took the cast off, you were like, oh, I'm just going to get itchy. No, I got sick.

I started throwing up. I had, like, PTSD. Why? When they took the cast off You just started puking Yeah Well I feel like It's like with all the

Constriction and stuff It makes you feel sick She just like I think it finally Cried You started crying And like hit her Because she like saw it

And it was all Different looking It looks great It looks great It's not mangled It's just emotional What about your stitches On it

I haven't seen it yet Because it's under a pad Oh But anyway Point being Elena So sorry No Elena took me

To the doctor And I was like Elena get ready Because my surgeon Dr. Raven Is hot Dr. Raven is so hot Wait his name is Raven

Yeah Dr. Raven That was supposed to be mine He was like, he's so hot, you're going to die. Like, he's just so hot. And so we go in the room, and then he walks in, and I look at Elaine, and I was like, wait, not hot at all? Wait, he's not hot? No! He's kind of muscly.

Well, he's a doctor, so that's like 10 points. But other than that, no offense. I hope you're not listening, Dr. Aiden. Is it because you're on so many pain pills that you thought he was hot? Yes. Is he young and tall? Yes. Wait, what the hell?

How come you haven't told me about him? No. You don't want him, because it was a mistake. He wasn't hot. When we walked into the room, they have, like, a giant photo of, like, all the doctors that, like, work there. And she's like, oh, those are the, like, hot doctors. And I look at them, and I'm like, I don't see a single hot doctor on that picture. You are just so hopped up on adrenaline and drugs that you're like, everybody's hot.

Yeah, totally. Okay, so good week. Good week. Mary Hart, the icon from Entertainment Tonight, I found out this week that she broke her wrist when she was the host of Entertainment Tonight. And so the wardrobe team at E.T. came in and dropped off, like, 25 Mary Hart slings. So I feel like I'm now a part of the world. They are all bedazzled. They are all, like, pink, green, leopard print with red.

because of that i know i'm like god this is all i've ever wanted it's just somebody to like bring me down a few notches oh my god yeah i don't like that i kind of love it i hope that you're not the well my auntie always taught me that in every relationship there's someone who like loves more and it needs to be the man i can't i from now on have can't be the one who loves more oh i can't either because i always am yeah and i always am the one who loves more and i just can't i just i need to be like the pretty one who's like adored and like not loving you so much more and this guy already feels like and like the other thing my mom always says is what is that you really want like your man to be like or whoever to be really like for you like very like for you right so like

is he already for you if he's already like setting up as a practical joke on your first date like you know what i mean it wasn't a first date this was like a fifth date fifth date but no but this is like our rapport is we just make fun of each other like we just love that yeah but i jack makes bad decisions so i feel like she loves that but she shouldn't love that you have to take me seriously or i'll freak out yeah like as far as like a man you know what i mean yeah like no we do feeling we that's like all part of like i i get very turned on by that like the banter it's like sexy but i'm just like this mother okay so sorry to put you on the spot good week bad week um what's today it's monday oh my god oh so this is from last week it can be like anything recent

can be anything we're not gonna like cut you off i interviewed i interviewed my idol triple axel bay mariah negasu um oh yeah that was really major um i cried i cried more i laughed why do you love this for your podcast i just love her a lot because like her story of how she came onto the olympic team this year is just really really interesting and i just she won nationals as a 14 year old in 2008 and then got fourth in the olympics in 2010 then had like a hard couple years like went through puberty like totally changed her body right it's hard to do triple axels when you have hips and she wasn't doing triple axels then anyhow but basically in 2014 she had like an iffy season and then uh but she still got third at nationals which technically

should have put her on the olympic team the like the national figure skating association was like you know what even though you got third you're not we weren't loving you know your performance even though you're a national you're a former national champion and you got fourth last time which she was like the highest like getting like american in 2010 right um but uh they were like yeah so not this time so sorry we're gonna give it to this other person who's also an amazing skater and was a two-time defending national champion and she just had a bad performance her name's ashley wagner and she's really good she didn't get picked this year and so so that did happen um but i think it's very interesting that as a um you know 20 year old

after not making the team like most people would have like after getting fourth in the Olympics and not making the team would have been like okay you know I'm done bye

like I'm done totally yeah what does she do she's like I've never really tried a triple axel in competition even though I've been skating for half my life

let's just do that and I mean no one had done that in well Mal Asada had done it in competition but no American had done it since Tanya Harding

which is insane I think that's so amazing that this girl because like and I compared it very stupidly in my podcast like me learning

how to do a back handspring but it's the only thing that I can really like but like i never thought that i would be able to do that like on the gym floor when i was trying to try out for cheerleading a little and so i know the feeling of like thinking like i'm never gonna be able to do that and she did it at the fucking olympics and she did it at nationals it's so crazy did it at nationals there was always a fan of hers and knew of hers and liked her but at nationals this year was it because if she would have won nationals this year that

would have been the longest time because that means she would have won in 08 and then 18 20 years 10 years but yeah but so she got second though which is you know um but i just think that's amazing i just love her story i just think she's so amazing and i had like a olympic bronze medal around my neck this week like i'm such an olympic stan like i love it yeah just like having her tell me that story like in real life like no one's ever made me cry in that podcast before um so how are you getting people to come on the podcast are you just like emailing i email well i've been dming her i was like please see me like i love you so much please see me like that was But I was, like, back at the Olympics, which I also told her that story.

Right. I was, like, for the high... I was, like, because, you know, my Olympic story is you acknowledging me. Right. Which is the story that I want to tell. Yeah. Like, not you winning a bronze medal. Let's talk about you...

I was, like, I want to know... I was on my couch, and you messaged me, and we're real. I remember the exact time. So, bad week. Yeah. So, then my bad week would be, like... I don't know. My life is, like, so cute right now.

Oh. This is good. Yes. This is actually really good. So, there's this really hot guy who... who's in a throuple or he's in a couple and they keep trying to like, cause I'm really intimacy starved right now. Cause I'm like,

don't really have time to date. And I'm like, can we just like cuddle? Like, I don't really want you to like bang me. I just like want to cuddle with our tops off and like watch telly and like, watch like, like order post me.

It's like, I don't really want you to like bang me. I just like, can we just like, I just like, she's like intimacy starved. Cause my whole life is changing so much. And like,

can I just lay on your chest? Who can you trust? Yeah. So there's exactly. so there's this like really hot zaddy who's in a couple and they for the longest time i thought that they were weirdly trying to like use me as like a thing between them like in a jelly way but then i was like oh i think you're just being sensitive i think they just want to hang so then i was just like busy and busy and busy and like in new york and not here so then like i ran into

them and they were like let's hang so sunday and like i have no free time like the opposite of free time yeah so i had like two hours between things yesterday where i was like because i saw them at the gym and i was like oh like let's hang on sunday and so this mother is like like come over and we'll hang at three so i'm like okay cute so like i had all these other friends i was like let's do this let's do that i was like sorry like and i don't know these people like that well and i would have much rather like hung with my real friends right but but the idea of like having my gorgeous intimacy starvation quenched by these two big muscle daddies felt

just too gorgeous to turn down. And especially because it was literally gorgeous hot tub and ketchup on RuPaul's Drag Race. It couldn't have been any more gay, cute, sisterly. Let me just lay on my chest and let me just lay on this gorgeous little chest and we'll be on our way.

So then he confirms the time and then I was recording my podcast all day and then I was like, okay, cute, let me know, I'll be over. And he's like, sorry, the other one is doing this and that. and he's like i'll let you know if plans change and i was like and i was like this is why my best friend patty always tells me like whenever i tell her about them she's like don't with throuples because they're always full of shit and she's like a rich ones which these ones are she was

like rich throuples are even worse because yeah yeah and i was like you know what having your cake and eating too and you know what you're both probably on f***ing roids and i hope they're listen to this because you can't be that muscly and old old and so um you know i just feel like i shouldn't give these old old muscle queens my fucking time and it's kind of like i can't remember who sings it right off the top of my head right now but it's something about oh her the artist her like h period e period r period i love it on the short face she's like wilson from home improvement but you know but not like uh but not um but yeah i don't even know what that means she wouldn't show her face no i know i feel like her kind of is like that because she won't show

her face because it's like fiercer um but she was like you know i'm in this song at free she's like you know i'm really not loving that i told you i was free and i'm really was not so i like it was fine i caught up on west world i like had like i had my little like cute girlfriends come over it was fine but i was like you old roided out how old are we talking not that old i'm just saying it because i'm feeling hateful and they like deprived me of the other double hairy chests right and i just feel like i'm fun and why don't you like i don't understand like why did you not more thoroughly suss out the situation with your boyfriend what could you be more busy doing really the problem is now you're gonna you're gonna fall into the the category of hollywood

where people are going to want to snuggle you just to get a selfie with you. Can we just snuggle now and selfie later? No, because now people are going to want to be around you. I'm very sorry. But then they don't even want to. It's so rude. Do they hit you up on social media and stuff?

Yes. So now they're scared. No. No, they're just shitty. No, I honestly just think they're a shitty couple who at the end of the day isn't quite satisfied with each other, obviously, because they keep poking around

and then one of them gets threatened and then it's like a whole thing. I'm not privy to that part of the conversation, But I was more of just like, let's just be friends and let me lay my big gay head on your big gay chest and watch Westworld. Is that asking so much? It's not that much. But also, I learned in my podcast by Dr. Stan Taken, who invented this type of therapy that I love called PAC therapy, which is the psychobiological approach to couples therapy. And he taught me that at the end of the day, we're bipedal people and primary relationships don't enjoy being threatened, which is why he doesn't believe or counsel for throuples or open relationships because he doesn't believe that they work.

so really i know better i already know that you do and in the words of rupaul who was here and he told us if they ain't paying your paying your bills pay those bitches no mind pay those bees no mind wait so what pay in your bills pay those bees no mind which is essentially how they did me and look at how yeah all right i think we need a little bit more compassion in world when we come back we're gonna talk all about jonathan's rise to fame and also what hairstyle he would give his worst enemy oh this episode of lady gang is brought to you by osia we at lady gang have been long time fans of this product from malibu it is absolutely incredible and right now they have their best sellers body care set which includes the tiktok famous algae

who bit you but who you're fine but when i'm on the lady gang podcast i'm like beyonce can you not like i know all i do is talk shit i'm even looking back at taylor swift being like you're not so bad after the beyonce of it all anyway okay yeah okay but the other thing is is that i also realized that i had a nervous breakdown in the very elevator that like the infamous beyonce elevator thing happened i just learned the fight yep yeah where was it it was in for the boom boom room in labain at the top of that standard in new york i was having i was having a moment on a sunday on a sunday because i well it's kind of in the right rise to fame thing it was like the first And I'd really gone out when, like, I really can't now in that way.

And I got super overwhelmed, and I was, like, double fisting champagnes, like, for an hour. Oh, no. And then I had, like, six in an hour. And then I was, like— Wait, you are my soulmate, I think. But then I had, like—it was too much attention and just too many people. So I was, like, oh, my God, I have to leave. And then this, like, couple got in a fight at the front of the elevator.

So I was, like, this is my moment to get out of here. So I jumped in front of the line and got in the elevator to get down when at the last minute, right as the door was about to shut— I'm going to get this story out so fast. You're going to be so proud of me. fan jumped in the elevator and started like double filming me like he had somehow two phones like he'd have one he had two and he was filming us with one and taking pictures with the other and it made me champagne sob like i had to put my head between my knees because i was so stressed out with how many people were in my face that it made me cry and then i was like oh my god you only

have 16 floors to like ugly cry this out before there's a line downstairs and they're all gonna know you too yeah so i know so i just like ugly cried and ugly cried like let it wail which point the crazed fan was like oh my god are you okay and i was like just held up my fingers that can be minute but like doubled over and then i stood up like when i felt it coming to an end like the first floor and then i like stood up and wiped off my face and i was totally normal and it was such an exercise of like if you feel it just let it out really fast and you'll be okay there's a weird thing i will say there there becomes a point in your life when you're doing things and you become mildly successful and like everyone's on your team they're like go

get it kelty you've got we've always believed in you but then when you hit a level that is like what you're feeling now or i think what i felt when i started working on television all of those people who were supporting you only two of them actually want you to be happy now they want you to fail so that you can come back to their level of being a normal human being and it's really scary for people they they want to say that they want you to be successful and they want your dreams to come true but it's very few and far between the people who mean it and you just need to wrap yourself in those people and really there's a reason why celebrities and people like this make these little circles around them and don't really come out of them because it is

like aggressive you know listen we love it like we i we love it when lady and comes up to us and they're like oh my god we listen to show or whatever and like i always love being recognized in public but there is something about you sharing your life with people and them thinking that they really know you oh yeah that is a trip well like in this case at this place like i had every time i had been to a bar like i would like just say like yes to selfies yeah people and like that was like and it becomes a meet and greet up until the yeah and but that was like okay up until point that was this was like a month and a half ago and this was like the first time that like i went and then once i said yes to one person like i kind of got trapped in a corner just like a

floodgates are open no into into the point where once i was like oh my god i'm just gonna run to the restroom like people got like no people got like upset yeah and then people were like following me yeah and then there was like oh my god and then like from that i like ran into this guy who would like totally like just freshly like hurt my feelings also and like a really like weird vulnerable new york way and so like i looked up and like he was right there oh no and and like and that's when like the elevator opened and i was like oh my god like this is your chance just run away like just like run out and then as soon as i did so this was before the champagne spiral that you had no that was the champagne spiral because i've been like just i just kept drinking

champagne like in the corner because once i realized that like once you said yes to one person and every because then it's like right when i said yes that first person like everyone in this entire place which was packed shoulder to shoulder it's like no it was literally like the walking dead yeah oh my god like a noise gets made and everyone like turned over was like it is him oh no what happened was is after they would do like that's what you're talking about like but see i didn't know any of these people they were never like in someone who i would have considered like had supported me because they were all people i didn't know but it was the first time where people like came up and take a picture and then like as soon as they took the picture

would turn around and be like he's like kind of a dick or he's like way not as cute in real life or like whatever like would they just like say uncensored crazy things like directly in earshot of me where i could like hear like what people who like how they talk about you with if they don't know you or care about you or like when people come up and take a picture of you not even like with you they just like people were coming up and taking pictures of me like like at dinner but this was like all at libby so i was just like i just was like i understand that is not okay to do like it's you know i think that it's a weird thing because it used to be like back in the day an autograph and you'd have to like have your book or like have a sharpie but now

like a selfie is the currency of hollywood and everyone wants to like you know and it's it's i'm also not complaining because it is like a lifelong moment of like it is exciting and it is like cool but like when you're doing like the reality of like at least right now in the season of like oh like going out to get a drink with your friend or like with your girlfriends like on a sunday is like it's not like that's not what it's gonna feel like no no yeah but it's funny george clooney always said you know i people don't want to hear me complain so i don't and that's like a it's a hard thing because it's like you don't want your celebrities to have any kinds of struggle like i remember some of my girlfriends were like when i first started on tv my job was

amazing and like i got the great job but i was getting up at 3 45 in the morning and like it wrecked me i was like a disaster of a human i gained 20 pounds like just that schedule killed me and i would try to say to my close friends like oh i'm just dying here and they're like well this is what you wanted you know what i mean yeah this is what you wanted you got the job a million girls would kill to be you and you're just like every single level whether you're god or you're us like or you know whatever everyone has their good weeks and bad weeks like that's the truth so what do you say now if somebody wants to take a selfie with you when i'm out like so this is like i actually i do have like a new like little thing that i do in my head yeah well and in real life so like

in real life like i always say yes like if i'm like at the mall or like whatever but i just i'm like i just learned like don't stop moving because that's when it becomes a thing so i'm just like walk with me act like you know me like and then if they're like what i'm like walk with me act like you know me yeah and i'm like and then and then like just ask and they're like can you stop for a second i'm like no like just get the camera out like we're doing a walking selfie yeah like Let's do this walkie-talkie. That's really smart. That's so smart.

And then it doesn't become a thing. Yeah. But now my thing at the bar is, is I just am like... You can't go to the bar anymore. Well, no. I have gone a few times, and I just don't do it in the bar now. So when someone comes up to the bar and I'm just like, here's the thing. I was like, I'm totally just having fun with my friends tonight, but I'll totally chat.

You want to chat? How was your day? Let's chat. Because I am down to chat. I just don't need tagged Instagram photos of me getting drunker and drunker and drunker. And like less clothes and less clothes and less clothes. Yeah. It's just like not...

So I just... Now when I'm at the bar, I just say no. Unless I'm about to leave, and I know I can leave, and then I'll do, like, a couple on the way out. Yeah, because it just is going to, yeah, it's just going to swarm. But it also, like, literally feels, it makes me not feel safe. Yeah. Because, like, once you, a flash comes out, like, no, I don't like it. So I just, now when I'm at the bar and I know that I'm, like, not leaving a general vicinity, I just am like, no.

Yeah, that's it. Because I'm here, like, because I just don't do it. So. But I'm not mean about it. I'm just like, I'm with my friends. I'm just like, tell me about your week. That's totally valid. well and you're going to talk to people too so it's not like you're like a dick you're like no

and get away from me you peasant yeah now my brain just stopped no i was gonna ask did you always feel like when you were little baby you know hair guy and starting up in this business like you've always had this personality that's always been something had people said you should be on tv you should have a show like before all this career and how did you get involved i can't imagine that you had like an acting agent did you like how did no how did they find you um it started with gay of thrones that's like how i started like getting on camera which was like a total accident um but do you have a beard like what no no no no um how i got a foot in the door to talk to the people who casted queer eye and the creators of queer i was because of gay of thrones

yeah um and then once i did the audition um you were probably the first one picked i think yeah i don't know i don't know about any of that um but um i would say that doing gay of thrones Cause I've done it for like five years and I have like a different comedian and like a salon chair every week for 10 weeks straight. And we like, you know, write and produce. And like, I watch game of Thrones with, you know, the director who's amazing, Aaron Gibson and the, and our team. And, and because I work with like so many different comedians of so many different types,

um, I think it's like really like, it's made my brain learn how to like work really fast and it's made me learn how to like learn lines, forget lines, improv, do things really, really quickly and not get too attached to like how things need to turn out and being comfortable on the fly but then like being able to do scripted stuff too yeah and so going into that audition when i looked around and saw everyone because i mean queer i was the first audition i ever booked like i've been doing stuff for five years and like have auditioned so many times for so many things really oh so you had been like trying not like well i mean trying for like i mean for like the three guest spots that are written for a obvious gay guy a year yes yeah like but i mean

like the guests like roles like on this or that or whatever and not only that but like selling tv shows like i right have had like two shows that i um one was the makeover show and one was kind of like a news recap show both of which had like either shopping deals or serious traction with the studio where i thought that they were going to be sold or thought that they were going to be done and doing a thing like long before i did queer eye yeah and had and i've been in many positions where like i was in final rounds for talking about for doing this thing or that thing or whatever and then it didn't happen or they go with someone else or whatever uh heartbreaking totally heartbreaking but going into queer i was interesting because once i did like the first

interview and then i did this like uh televised or not televised but like you know interview on camera that gets turned into like a sizzle that gets sent to these people and they're like okay we like you we're gonna bring you into this thing of like 80 people for five spots it's like a weekend-long chemistry audition of like all these guys and it was like you know we really want to see your personality we really want to see you mingle and like a little and so i go to this first like drink night and there's like just wall-to-wall gay men like beautiful diverse game and wall-to-wall and all of us had these like name tags with like our like the color of your category was on it's like grooming was yellow and you could see all the other new year

competition and they wanted you to mingle and really get along with each other and i'm just watching it was like watching mean girls like i was like oh yeah oh my god were people like getting in clicks and stuff very much and it was interesting because all the categories were kind of like almost going with each other which was really yeah which was interesting like it was almost like we were like oh my god you're grooming on me me too like let's talk let's become friends yeah which in retrospect was probably not smart for anyone but what I did what was so I mean I wasn't like anti-social but I was very much like seeing that first night and I was like this is like literally an unscripted audition like if this is the job you want and the second that I read the

log line of like turning red states pink one makeover at a time I was like you were born to do this like i come from a cornfield i got chased around pitchforks my whole life like you were meant to do this like this and i loved that show so much i was like and i'm so down for a rebrand of like whatever a metrosexual is um so like let's i was so in but i was like oh my god i'm like literally going to like slay all these gays like all of us want the same job oh my god and so i was like you're gonna have to kind of like sit back and let these people like spin their wheels because yeah you could really easily just like go out too hard too fast and like you just like really need to save your energy and i really it was like the smartest most like intuitive like

three days i've ever had because like in retrospect i really feel like i obviously like i booked it but like i very much could like see people like spinning their wheels freaking out getting in their head like doing the wrong thing and i just was like just stay calm like stay in your own lane like don't think about other people's things like don't freak out about these things like i was just really present and i like booked that job yeah but i think sometimes things are just right when they're right you know what i mean it's like you gotta thank all the now all the things that you didn't get and you cried about and you're like it's never gonna happen for me those things are all blessings because like if you had been if you had been whatever hokey smoky bokey on whatever

you wouldn't be such a breath of fresh air now and you probably wouldn't have taken it as seriously and like done the things that you did no that's what i mean like i could have only learned how to book that if like every failure that i ever had like i needed to experience everything that i did in the order that i did it right to be able to like get to where i am yeah are you an introvert by the way i think i'm an introverted extrovert that's how i am too yeah because i like love to entertain i love to like be around people but then like at the end of the day like i have to be alone well even like talking about you're like saving your energy i'm like the only introverts do that yeah interesting um one hair question what hairstyle would you give your worst enemy

one of the lady gangs wanted to know probably like um pixie cut no no worse like i would do a like a real lisa rena shag like because you know it doesn't look good on anybody but her really really really like at the height of summer like on someone with really thick thick hair and just give them the thickest fullest bang on that shag there's so much hair in the face what color though um well i just like wanted to be the most uncomfortable as possible so it's just always like you can never really really really in your face and maybe like a fleeting tone like that's Let's just fry that shit out. Just all the high maintenance.

Just all the breakage. Real brassy. All the overlap. No, no, no, no, no. No brassy? I want like piss yellow. Like just chicken fat, canary, big bird, bleach and tone. Bleach and tone?

I can see it now. I can see it now. Just no violet on the radar. No. Just blaring yellow. Like yellow. Yeah. All right.

Now back to the Lady Gang. Okay, we're back. We have a little quiz for you

based on your podcast, which we love. I've recently started listening. I love the episode with Anthony. That's a really good one. I just love him. I slept on Anthony. I'm not going to lie, Anthony. Sorry I said it wrong. Yeah, I was going to say it. I was like, well, you slept on him because that's not his name who is that i slept on him i watched all the shows and i followed my people on instagram that i needed to follow and then i did not follow him because i was like i hate cooking no i hate cooking and i hate food and i'm not into it the whole season i watched the whole season i was like you were still like you i'm a fan of you but not enough of a fan to follow you like a jonathan or bobby you know what i mean or a tan like i wasn't feeling like i needed

to have a personal connection with you only one you didn't follow yes i'm shocked he was the first his social game is so good i know but i'm the opposite because he's so hot i just i slept on him a little bit i think it's also like he's a really good writer and like his captions are funny and entertaining he's like really good at food and i really like his stories yeah also i'm on his stories and feed sometimes so like that's also fun but then i listen on the to the podcast him on the podcast and i was like when he was speaking all those languages i was like i've made an error i've made an error in my ways i do want a personal relationship with him so i had to have a follow yeah i'm a full follow yeah full five follow full five so oh my god a full five

follow i love that right if i follow like if you're a real fan you follow that's the only way to do it full five you can't pick picking juice i guess not okay so here we go get it based on your progress anyway if you haven't listened to jonathan's podcast it's called getting curious you can listen to it exactly where you listen to lady gang and it's a very very cute and it's a little like serious tone but i think some of the things you talk about are great like there's things that you talk about that we would never talk about on lady gang and you do it in such a refreshing way it like makes it for the masses thank you it's a really good show thank you it's a very much work okay so first of all first question getting curious how you made your

first dollar uh you're gonna answer this too jack um uh i taught uh gymnastics god what it was my first old navy actually too that's a lie i briefed legal cases for my auntie when i was like 11 what does that mean she taught this like law class and she needed to like go through she needs someone like go through the internet like when it was like barely the internet and like find basically like legal cases that were like just filed away in like the illinois like bar and then like paraphrase them at 11 yes i was really in the current events in the news and we were in the i made a little company for her and it was called legal finders shut up that is so cute did you come like with your briefcase and a little suit a little manila folder

and i would just like work in my mom's office and i loved it so cute it was so fun oh my god i can't even think like somebody my age could do that no i couldn't do that not 11 year old i feel like i wonder if my mom has that shit somewhere it was like really cute like in hindsight it was like very cute that's adorable she's probably like he's going places okay last thing i binge watched jack um actually probably queer eye cute you're welcome that's gonna be mine too and rupaul's drag race uh all-stars oh that was really good that was a great one changela you were robbed honey she was really robbed and i do officially feel that and i also feel like what i would say to anyone who has rupaul's ear um as far as drag race goes i'm really over like i'm ready for her

to send them home again yes like i don't think that if like this isn't america's drag queens electing drag queens next top model right like yeah rupaul's the queen yes i need you to wear the crown i don't like it when you know what because it's a little thing that rhymes with like traducers right no i know i i think it's a bad mistake i don't like it when they bring back the old people to vote them up because it's so malicious and it's like oh yeah it brings up the worst it's just all vengeful and when he's like may the best woman win that's not true that's the best woman because it's the most popular woman that didn't have to vote anyone else off win yeah and that's bullshit it's bullshit like this i am so over it i need rupaul to fix this

and she and i just feel like to like do you think nikki minaj would have a competition show and not decide no like do you think beyonce would let the contestants no and also when you win the crown like you're the winner but you're not really the winner because rupaul didn't pick you no and you were like you were miss congeniality like not to take anything away from tricksy because i do love tricksy i like tricksy i've worked with tricksy i love tricksy she's fine but she's great she's not a winner in my eyes but yeah and also like i just feel like another thing that is like story-wise from all stars and this is actually like i had to take a break to the point where like i'm not current on the current season because i was so put off by this

the current season i'm not into i actually i think that you're the descent on x i think most people are really obsessed i don't even know who i'm cheering for miss cracker is who all the children want i'm feeling asia o'hara but okay see i love how like neither of us are caught up but we still have our opinions no i'm caught up oh you are i just don't have like a horse in the race like i was very i when eureka was on the old season i was very much a eureka fan and now she's on the season and i'm like i'm not feeling you anymore i don't have a broken knee that whole controversy i'm not feeling sir jeff so i just want to roll pause right crazy but for the two people belating and they do watch we'll do a new podcast called gay of rupaul's dress and we'll

like do a recap okay moving on sorry what did you binge watch last well i guess like real technically it would have been handmaid's tale because like the two episodes came out at once and i wait is it good it's you watching the one yeah yeah there it's really crap i feel both handmaid's tale and westworld are really getting straight up into that whole like game of thrones season seven like it's like we're moving quickly now yes they're not giving us some they're giving us cheeseburgers like they're not giving us crumbs it's like here's a double bacon thick applewood smoked ass bacon plot point for you i'm so excited to watch it one thing i'm really good at day drinking the first thing that came to my mind was um sucking dick

okay and one thing i'm epically bad at huh one thing you're epically epically bad at i'm pretending to be into getting fucked when i'm over it oh well i got so sexy all that on the both those questions jack um that i'm bad at yeah she's like nothing no i have many things that i'm bad at uh uh probably mine might be the same yeah i love that like i'm a really bad faker we had a situation this weekend where we had to like go back to an email and be like we're really good at faking it and i was like no we're not no i'm terrible i'm like also i am like so adamant about never faking an orgasm like if you're not good at what you're doing i'm not gonna like blow your ego up and

reward you like that no absolutely not yeah what about you you'll know i'm well i'm epically bad at um breaking the rules and lying like i'm a terrible liar yes you can see it on my face like when i'm like like i so maybe you're not into so maybe you're not good at i'm no i'm horrible at faking it i can't fake it yeah like i'm like listen that means we're honest guys we're so honest we're just honest people i looked at my husband this weekend i was like i'm not having sex with you because i just got in this car accident he's like i would never touch you and i'm like good like i can't even breathe okay that's kind of i i'm really going another way where i'd be like you need to like i almost died like worship my like puss puss like be careful of

my arm like she's gonna live up here put your arm to the side like you need to eat my puss puss and like kiss her and like blow on her and be like i'm like like i like this like this is what i say to him like you need to be like she's been so so so happy that you're here and you're okay little baby girl. I'm just going to give you a little kiss. What accent is this? I don't know. I think we just found the reason the throuple doesn't want you over.

Literally, the throuple was like, we were totally into having you over until we heard your sexy voice. You're trying to have phone sex and everybody's like, what is happening right now? I don't like it when you talk like that. Don't shave for sex, boys.

Last one before we go to Ask the Lady Gang. Three qualities that got me where I am today. Oh, I think you should go first. God, I hate not being able to think of these. I love, like, non sequitur, but I love, like, where your eyes are in your face. Face, I know. She's a special heart face. Well, I like, like, where your eyes are in your face.

Really? Yeah. I always thought my eyes were too close to each other. I love the exact, I don't know how to say that without being weird, but yeah, I love the exact distance between your eyes. But, like, with my glasses on or no? No, before you had your glasses on, but I like them with your glasses on, too. I see you have, like, a very, very pretty, like, eyeballs on your face.

Aw, thank you. Look at what Jack is wearing, by the way. Can we just, like, stand up? Show John what you have. It's really, like, Kylie, I feel like. Yes. Yeah, you're just really, like, Kylie right now. Ooh.

Like a Fila jacket. Love. Listen, I love the athleisure trend because I can pretty much dress in pajamas. I'm like, you just have, like, stormies, just, like, it's, like, with the nanny. Yeah. And it's totally fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

My baby's somewhere else, I'm sure. Yeah, it's totally fine. What are your three things? um uh where i got my own today um i don't know you go first ability to deal with rejection that's really joel retentiveness and list making okay so all like type a things yeah i guess i'll say perseverance um a little bit of mine is luck like i won't lie i was in like the right place at the right time when i started my business and um sense of humor cute um my ability to disassociate um that's a big one i would say moving between failures quickly is the good one it's like

dealing with rejection is good everybody has to have that you're wrong and i'm gonna prove it to you next week yes and then also probably just like my i'm she's a i think i'm a really hard worker like my work ethic yeah it's true you can't get where you are without being a hard worker all right when we come back johnson's gonna fix your life hey ladies ask the lady gang we're back and we're back we're gonna have so many bleeps in this episode sorry no i've said f word so many times today okay so for this part of the podcast we have our listeners writing questions and we're going to give them some questionable good advice

maybe good our first question comes from Dawson's Dawson's Creek does this have to do with Dawson's Creek no that's the name she put we ruined lives in the beginning of the podcast people with the real full names and we like said their names

and then people were like I heard the boss was listening to the podcast or the boyfriend or something so now we get like a lot of anonymous We've actually had people write in being like, can you actually take this out of the episode? Well, it's too late. Millions of people have heard it. Ha ha, you're fucked.

Sorry. Okay, so Dawson Creek says, should I tell my girlfriend that she's my first and I cheated on her with a dude? Okay, so this is complicated. I've been with my girlfriend for six years. Both 27 female? They're both 27 year old. Oh, these are two girls. Okay.

She's been with her girlfriend for six years and she was my first, quote unquote, but does not know. recently and unfortunately i cheated on her with a dude i hate myself it is the worst i know please don't tell me about it should i tell her the truth which is that i wanted to experiment with a guy before committing to a lifelong lesbian relationship with her or continue on as usual i feel horrible for cheating and i really hate myself but almost feel like it was necessary to figure out my life and sexuality what should i do i feel like that's a really tricky thing yeah kind of like for who like who like right are you do you want to tell her because you want to clear your own conscious like is this a decision that you made and it's one that you need to live with

or something because like why are you giving this problem to her or do you not want to proceed because like don't you want a relationship that's like built on like trust and if you're not feeling that going into it because you know that you're carrying this thing i do think that like if it was necessary for you to experiment in that way then the correct thing to do would have been to have had that discussion prior to that yeah and if maybe if you weren't comfortable having that conversation with her we were scared of like rejection or scared of like what she was gonna think if you brought that to her like maybe you there is a need to consider like if you're with the right person period right because like you were keeping all that shame and that worry inside

but maybe not i don't know but i i think honesty is the best policy but do it with the energy because you're trying to like you know heal your relationship and where you're going together not because you're trying to like absolve yourself of guilt right and like the feelings feeling that way and like wanting to experiment and feeling like you're gonna get trapped out like there's nothing wrong with it it does come down to honesty like she should have probably said something to her partner and maybe her yeah she's young yeah she's figuring it out how old is she 27 yeah but 27 she's been with the girl for six years so she's been most of her adult life she's been with the girl her whole entire 20s which i think is such a transformational time for so many major no it is

and it's like like regardless of if you're with a girl or a guy it's like people have these kind of feelings any like anyways in a like a serious relationship that's maybe going towards marriage so like it's normal however i mean if it was me i'd have to i'd have to tell her yeah it's not good to go on with that i also feel really rude for saying back to her question to you like we can explore like what age is too young to talk about by saying like i don't need to like oh my god anyways kelty shut up i'm so concerned with my the amount of boob sweat i have right now it's okay it's a safe place i know it's so hot in here but like also the drugs are making me so hot you have a hair tie do you want me to put your hair out no i have to go to work still it'd be

the best ponytail she's ever gotten i know my husband's i have a i have questions about my hair by the way okay let's ask him later back to no but we can get back to the questions now back to the question at hand anxiety girl is next anxiety girl anxiety girl says it's not even hot in here girl like i don't even have boobs how do you boob sweat i don't know just like you're like i'll get under there it's also gonna make you hotter girl just relax let me hand you okay anxiety girl says i've recently moved in with my boyfriend of four years last october we're each other's first serious relationship so we've always kind of moved at a slow pace because we're still learning a lot of things but it doesn't say

i'm more of a homebody and he likes to go outside more i can honestly say that i'm the clingier one but recently i've noticed that he's been out a lot and when he comes home he's tired so we don't really spend that much quality time together which is okay okay is it but i can't help it but i think that i bore him and he doesn't like coming home to me and maybe i'm not the kind of person he needs i'm not sure if i want to bring it up because i don't want him to think i don't want him to go do his thing but it's really starting to bother me i know i have anxiety issues but am i just being crazy do i bring it up or not this is my life story i'm boring i'm a homebody i love to be home she needs to read the language of love yes if i love that book

because it sounds like she's a quality time and touch person yeah and it sounds like that's not how he needs to receive and give love it sounds like he's probably more of an acts of service because he likes to go out a lot and like maybe verbal or something yeah i'm very much you girl i want to take our tops off i want to cuddle like let's watch chop let's make food yeah like why do we got to go see everyone i do feel like the bar is for single people like why are you trying to go fuck yeah let's be honest yeah why are you trying to go dick down some bitch you met on tinder thank you in the bar you fucking dick you know what i mean stay your ass at home i'm willing for you to put it in my ass like how dare you what else could you want like literally like what is

wrong with these people i feel so bad for her poor girl no but we've talked about this before because i'm a very much like i love to go do things do activities always like event like i love doing stuff regardless of what it is and i i'm single but like the my future partner is going to have to be the same type of a person because i wouldn't be able to date a homebody i'd get two-star crazy like like if you met a six foot three muscly gorgeous you know just got done playing football, but also as a doctor. I think you'd turn into a homebody real quick. She'd be like, let's go play cornhole

and day drink. Really? It's who Jack is. I just, like, love to cuddle. Me too. I love to be at home. I love quality time and being at home as well. However, if it was, if this roles were reversed and I was dating her and she number one, now you feel like you're boring him.

So you're probably, like, putting off really insecure, clingy vibes, which is going to make him, like, go even further away. Oh, that's true. Like, sometimes it just doesn't vibe with the type of a personality, I think. Maybe your guys' nervous systems aren't. Yeah, aren't aligned. Also, you should read, actually, actually, both of these girls should read Wired for

Love by Stan Taken, that guy who I was talking about. Is this the guy you had on your podcast? Yeah. Does Jack need to read it? I need to read it. It's a really good book. Maybe I do. Well, it's an audio book called Wired for Love, but then he wrote Wired for Love, Wired

for Dating. Oh, no. I'm sorry. The audio book is called This Is Your Brain on Love. Oh. Oh, I love that. And the written book is Wired for Love and then Wired for Dating. And they're all essentially similar subject matter.

But it basically talks about the chemical reactions that happen in your brain when you're falling in love with someone. Because there's these five chemicals that our brain makes, especially towards the beginning, which is vasopressin. Kind of. It's vasopressin, testosterone, endorphin, estrogen, and adrenaline. Wow. And even men and women both make the testosterone and the estrogen thing. So it's, like, it's this very intoxicating cocktail of drugs that your brain makes you literally...

It's Mother Nature's way of making you get hooked on someone. Right. And then when you leave, the brain goes and withdraw, and that's why you get, like, want to see them, because you want to get that hit of things. And then there's, like, the nurture thing, which is all, like, how you were brought up with your parents. So it's, like, how you get into attachment bonding, which is kind of the language of love thing.

Right. So it's, like, sometimes nervous systems just don't go together. Like, it could be, unfortunately, that because she is more of a homebody, she deals with some you know generalized anxiety she likes to stay at home like that's where she feels more safe this guy does not feel safe at home for whatever reason the way he was brought up maybe at home was chaotic for him or he really felt more safe getting out of home so those nervous systems just may not match up and as much as you love the person once you've kind of discovered that over 10 11 12 months which according to stan it usually happens around a year when you are kind of like oh

like people you always break up at a year yeah if you make it past the year you're fine well no then there's this other thing at two years which that's where the chemicals typically really in nature once a man has gotten a woman pregnant and this is like chemically speaking usually about two years later is when the vasopressin and the testosterone stop being produced as much and that's usually when like i always used to say that that's like when people uh start or stop sending the representative because like you've been sending the representative for two years and after two years that's where you really see who they are and and biologically that is it's meant for the man to kind of after two years be like i'm good on you i seeded you yeah i'm gonna go spread that

with like my next lady that's so chemically because so many of my friends have babies and then when their baby's two years old they get divorced that is such a thing and so what stan says is that lust happens from across the room less happens like i see you you see me it's quick and it's sweetening let's love happens like right in the eye so it is able to like come back like you can come back from that two-year thing but it might not be the same intensity but it's more interesting and long-lasting whatever he's so interesting that that whole idea of like and he really believes that like the like we always think the grass is greener but a lot of times like everyone is a burden everyone sucks like he believes that really long-lasting relationship or

as he calls secure functioning relationship is like i am agreeing to be your burden and i will do things for you that like you wouldn't do for anyone else and you agree to be mine i agree to be yours because essentially like you're gonna put up with the bullshit of each other no one else will put up with yeah yeah wired for love it's called that's the written one and then wired for dating everybody's gonna buy this now it's really good it's very interesting okay last question comes from i'm so sorry oh my god no that was so interesting i'm gonna literally go buy the book right now well not right now after we're done okay last question is long comes from molly molly says hey ladies i wanted to write in and ask about how to defriend a guy when i just

don't want to be friends with him anymore even though from his perspective he doesn't think the friendship between us is bad i've only been friends with him for a little under a year and have gotten to hang out with him in person less than five times a few months ago i wanted to go to a live event and he was the only person who was willing to go with me since he lived far away he crashed at my place on the couch for two nights so that he didn't have to drive to the concert there and back in one day while staying with me i noticed he puts his arm around me invades my personal space while sitting next to me and a few other things that i just found odd since that time has passed he has messaged me wanting to video chat or see me in person i just respond that i'm

busy at the moment or have to do have things to do to get back out of the situation to be honest we don't talk that much probably once or twice a month at the most he's helped me through a few issues and i've had as him however i don't know oh my god and his this is so we can make this really easy i want to fuck you and yes he wants to fuck you according to aaron gibson host of throwing shade and the director of gay of thrones and like my very long time friend she's been teaching me this lesson lately if the answer is no like if the answer is no so in the case the answer is no to this friendship yes you aren't explaining shit honey we aren't responding to the messages you just press delete right like when i get these emails and like my people pleaser

is like i really want to i wish i could be there but like my schedule is booked i can't come like it's like my may is gone june's fucking gone july's fucking booked the answer is no i don't have time you don't even need to tell them no you just swipe delete like delete the fucking email yeah delete the text message stop responding to him you don't owe him anything she doesn't know him anything your people pleaser's running him up girl just stop responding like he's not your boyfriend they're like no you don't have to say anything to justify any of your feelings towards this random fairweather friend that you hung out with once just no it's no remember in the quickie like a couple weeks ago in one of our quickie episodes my mere message was you can be a kind

wonderful person and still say no and that is the truth it's so true you got to like this is not your person this is a waste of time no and it's like you don't even like him so it's not like you've had any sort of a relationship he's just some random thing you're uncomfortable and no offense but like to you like writer person like the length in which you went in that message to explain that situation in the first place like lets me know homegirl to homegirl your people pleaser that lives inside of you is running amok in your life she's in your driver's seat and what you need to say to her is girl i see why you are so concerned that everyone thinks of you a certain way and like but here's the thing we're perfectly lovely women i'm gonna need you to get up out of

the driver's seat i your higher self i'm coming into the driver's seat you people pleaser are gonna get in the back seat because you're making us like facetime facebook message well and the thing is it's like this obviously oh my god i just tried to clap you just missed it i tried to do it i tried to do a clap because that was so inspirational yeah i want to write that out as a poster no it's so good no the thing is it's like you're taking so much energy to focus on this situation like you need to focus that energy on yourself and making yourself happy because it's like this is the dumbest thing ever like just don't respond and stuff but like yeah because really the question that you're asking is like how do i

get out of it we're looking good still or no but really it's like i have this part that's so uncomfortable with saying that like i don't want to be in this situation yeah like when really like you just don't don't respond don't be yeah literally don't respond love you girl love you thanks for listening okay so um we know we're we're gonna be able to watch you on the new season of queer i'm actually not on the new season it's really weird i know that people thought i was but i'm not so you it's because nobody liked you on the first season it was just so you were so so boring low energy yeah i was like that's weird no i will be out i was just so excited and um i heard from my sources that that's gonna be sometime in june in june july

like the cutest thing ever is your guys's comments on each other's instagrams like it is so cute and it's interesting because we just recently announced that we are going into a production on our tv series with e and one of the things that we had when we started it was like we don't want to fight with each other like we can't ever have us on camera saying mean things about each other because That's not who we are. We don't. We support each other. And I think you guys actually were the people that were like, like Queer Eye.

Like they love each other. They all are friends and they don't like, it doesn't have to be Housewife pulling out your hair. And I love that about your show. It's very inspirational like as a group of people because it's hard to work in a group a lot of times with people because you always like clash in some sense. So it's very nice to like watch you guys. We love you.
