jeans man wow yeah all right he's pretty hot um he has a girlfriend so that's just goes down the
drain dang um my bad week so i have been dating since you know single life for me and i matched
with this guy on this app called the league and it's for people the league it's for people's jobs
it started at like ivy league schools and now you have to be approved through linkedin it's
this whole thing so like our our generation is so pathetic that there's a special dating site
for people with jobs with us no in la that's needed no i know but that's what's making me
very sad yeah it's sad it is sad wow okay um so yeah that's my bad week um so it's like all
lawyers and like executives it's like people with like jobs great jobs great jobs okay um so i
matched with this guy that was like a venture capitalist he seemed super he's super attractive
seemed cool then we started talking and he kept asking me to go out on morning coffee dates
and i'm like number one i need some kind of an alcohol for a date like yeah i can't my best
friend told me she was like a date without alcohol is just an interview and i'm like that
is the most true thing i've ever heard in my life if there's no mimosas i'm not seeing you during
the day it's disgusting amen so he kept asking me to go up for coffee like five times i'm like
i'm not going not going not going and then on sunday i was like hanging out with some of my
girlfriends and we were at this bar playing pool and he texted me to go to coffee again
like midday coffee and like he's sober can't go sober that's what scares me but i'm like i'm at
this bar you can come meet up with us if you want five minutes later he's like i'm outside come say
hi and i was like oh really fast number one and creepy i go outside start talking to him no sense
of humor whatever whatsoever my jokes are going over his head so much and then he's like oh yeah
i went to the beach this morning and i was like oh do you surf or you know what were you doing he's
like i don't surf i'm an intellectual and i was like so you boogie board this is you built a sand
castle this is the most like the most douchey thing anybody has ever said to me in my entire
life he was like offended at the fact that i thought that he would he would surf okay i'm
by him yeah yeah i hated him and he was short so is he garbay garbay garbay he's garbay yeah he was
never a bay kelty um i have a new word to add to the lady gang dictionary damn i didn't mind
better not be my word it's not okay um okay we were so busy this weekend we were doing all kind
of hotivities i love the word i hate the context that you put it in but it's pretty good like what
you do last night oh you know we just she's up to all kinds of activities i like that okay i still
like homing like a hotivity no a homing is like she had a homing like a moment but hotivity is
it's like you're at the club grinding on a bunch of guys you're like going out and then like your
shoe broke so you went barefoot down hollywood boulevard like it was a series a series here's
the definition a series of homings is a hotivity nice it's a night of hotivities it sounds very
festive to me i know it is it's like it's like merry christmas hotivities like a nativity that's
why have a jolly hotivities i'm gonna make a nativity scene with hoes and it's gonna be a
hotivity that's the literal um a bunch of naked i also have my bad week has to do a jeans man
so i'm glad you brought up your jeans man um jeans man has been you know at the gym quite a lot this
week and i found out that he has two children so he's not only married he has two children
yeah and one of them's like seven so it's just never gonna be yours yeah no here's the thing
i don't want him to be mine but here's the truth the more i find out about him the less hot he is
like there was that's like any person literally is that's the definition of like getting to know
somebody so i mean we need to think about this because you listen every once in a while you
walk past someone hot and you're like well what would my life be like if i married that person
instead you know probably shitty oh my god unless you're super rich it's usually worse
your life would be worse because i we were like oh my god jeans man jean man is so hot like we
were like having like a little fantasy and then like the more i've met him i'm like he's such a
loser he's a loser because he has kids but it's like all the dreams i had for jeans man cannot
come true with his wife and children and like i don't know i just thank god for jeans man's wife
yeah yeah well and then and then here the thing is it's not fun anymore because he got rid of his
bedazzled jeans. Now he just wears normal jeans.
No, he still wears dark denim jeans
to work out.
They're just not Ed Hardy jeans.
It was so much better when he was wearing a bedazzled, fancy pant.
Right. Wow.
Okay. My turn.
My good week is
going to just blow your minds.
So I was having a
conversation with my friend Cara that you guys know.
She's been on the podcast.
And she was telling me this thing
that she had to let a friend down easy
for something she couldn't attend and so she's like i know this is horrible but i just i didn't
have the courage to tell her like on a phone call so i used sly dial and left her a message and i
go what what is sly dial it's a number you call that it answers and then it asks you who you want
to call then you plug in the person you want to call and it takes you straight to their voicemail
so people's phones don't ring
but you can still leave them a voicemail.
What?
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
How helpful.
But like people leave voicemails still?
Well, I think for like important...
If you leave me a voicemail, we're not friends.
I have like 200 unread or un...
I have to say something about a voicemail.
I think some...
I mean, most of the time, 99% of the time,
don't even talk to me
if you're trying to leave a voicemail,
especially if it's over three seconds.
But sometimes I feel like
if people used the phone more
and actually left voicemails we wouldn't all be texting
in our goddamn cars
and that's pissing me off looking
around it's so scary to see how many
people are on their phones and they're all texting
well that's just texting in general
I know but I feel like if we all just became
more phone people occasionally
it would make more sense to like call
and leave a message for someone that you were gonna
spend 15 minutes on the 405 texting
them or you can just get Siri to
read your text that's so complicated
i'm 50 years old and i need to leave you a voicemail i'm not saying that i do that but you
can no no because then it messes up and then you have to like read it and check it and then that's
more like distracting than just texting and then siri never yes she's an idiot let's be honest what
you should be doing while you're driving is listening to the lady gang podcast if you've
listened to all the episodes go back and listen to them okay true true okay so sly dial that's
my good week here's my bad week do you guys remember my new year's resolution no no no stop
spending money to stop buying clothes shoes jewelry whatever handbags all the things
i cheated once that's not bad though it's like half the year's over it's june yeah that's great
it's great most people can't get through january i bought it i bought a dress i had to go to a
charity thing and i had nothing in my closet and like it it there was nothing appropriate
I think my issue is I'm totally fine day-to-day because I can look homeless or ugly or frumpy.
But if it's, like, an actual thing, but it's not, like, a Hollywood event, so you're not being dressed for the event.
So it's your own.
So it's, like, so I had to.
You're like a commoner, you know?
You had to have a ho-tivity.
I had to have a, it was a ho-tivity, and I bought something, and I was really disappointed in myself.
So now I feel like I need to, like, do something, like, work the streets to, like, make that money back to, like, make it so that it's sold on Poshmark.
How much money have you saved?
You must have saved a ton of money.
I don't really even think I've saved that much money.
I feel like I just drink more now or something.
That's usually what happens.
So, yeah, those are my good week, bad week.
Kelty, what's coming up?
Jane Lynch is going to spill the deets on Becca Tobin's wedding.
That is not the headline we should use.
You're listening to The Lady Gang.
Okay, guys, our guests today are a him and her team that have created a very buzzworthy streaming series, Dropping the Soap.
It's a fast-paced workplace comedy similar in tone to one of our favorite shows, 30 Rock.
It goes behind the scenes of the long-running soap opera Collided Lives.
He is an actor that doesn't have a fucking wiki page, so it made my job really hard.
I actually had to spend large amounts of time on IMDb investigating his page and making my own words for him.
And so basically, he's appeared on Will & Grace, the OC Desperate Housewives, Chuck, Behind the Candelabra, and the greatest TV show after RuPaul's Drag Race, of course, Party of Five.
She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a People's Choice Award, an Emmy, a Golden Globe.
But more importantly, she was once in a Frosted Flakes commercial.
And even more importantly, she married Becca Tobin.
I did.
She's not actually married Becca Tobin.
I married Becca and Zach.
But far more importantly, after a year and a half, she finally agreed to come on our podcast.
We're so excited.
Please welcome Jane Lynch and Paul Witten.
I remember being asked a year and a half ago, but that's okay.
You were too big for us.
Oh, back then, yeah, my star is starting to fall.
Here I am at Lady Gang.
Now it's rising.
Yes, yes.
So we're so excited.
First of all, let's talk about Dropping the Soap, which I don't know if you know this,
but Becca Tobin had a guest starring in the role.
She sure did.
She did.
Yes, Becca.
She really slayed it.
Slayed it.
In a very, very pivotal moment of the show, which we can't share, but yeah, she was awesome.
And the side story about that is that she was basically dying when she came to do the
show.
Like in real life.
Was it dengue fever?
Dengue fever.
She had dengue fever.
We remember.
And she literally pulled herself from the hospital getting fluids and came and did our little skit.
You looked fantastic.
A dedication.
I think I was so thin because of that.
So it's the best I've ever looked.
And you were hydrated because, of course, you had been fit.
The fluids.
You were funny and great and awesome and on death's door.
So where can people see the show?
Amazon.
Amazon, amazing.
It's on Amazon Prime, which is great.
So if you have that, you see it for free.
And if you don't have that, you can get it on iTunes or Google Play if you're not an Apple person.
How did you get that deal with Amazon?
Our distributor is awesome.
Glass House Entertainment.
Oh, God.
Glass House.
Don't mess it up.
Distribution.
I guess it's distribution.
I'm not that bright.
But they handled all of that.
So how did you guys come up with the show and when?
I came up with this concept a few years ago and then looped in a bunch of my friends that I thought were awesome and wanted to work with.
And Jane saw a little bit of what we had done as a proof of concept kind of thing.
And she said, you know, guys, this is really funny.
The writing is really tight.
I'd like to be involved.
Let's see what we can do.
We, of course, after we picked ourselves up off the floor, went, oh, okay, Jane Lynch, we're in.
And it started the journey of getting it made.
And so what's the synopsis of the show?
It's behind the scenes of a really long-running, terrible soap opera called Collided Lives.
And I'm kind of like the male Susan Lucci, if you will.
I've been kind of like the hero, the man on the show for years.
My star is fading a little bit because I'm not 22, and I don't have abs.
I did, though.
And it's a story of my co-stars and I and how the world is being completely shaken to its core
because Ms. Lynch shows up as the new executive producer and decides she's going to do ridiculous things
like have people voted off.
Right.
We should have that on the podcast.
That's a week one of us gets voted off.
And giving people weight limits.
The actors have weight limits.
You know, she asks for their social media handles and their passwords.
She's just basically your worst nightmare.
Well, the show is circling the drain, so it's something that's probably not going to survive anyway.
So the show is very lucky to have the likes of, what was my name?
Olivia Vandersteen.
Yes.
Come and try to shake things up, you know, so they'll stay relevant and on the air.
Have you ever been given a weight limit in real life?
Where did that come from?
I give myself weight limits all the time.
I violate them all the time.
Just to break them immediately.
Yeah, exactly.
Nobody has had the balls to tell me how much I should wait.
Thank God.
I feel like that must happen in real life, though.
Yeah, I think it does.
I've heard that with young starlets these days.
Like Disney stars.
Yeah, well, just...
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
I've seen it.
You've seen it.
You'll see an actress in a show, and I'm not going to name names, but a little chubby.
Not chubby, even.
Really, just normal.
Like baby fat because they're young.
Yeah.
Yes.
In some cases, baby fat because they're young.
And then they get signed by, you know, some big agency and they sit her down and they say, you know, you have to lose 20 pounds or you won't work.
And they do.
And then they become anorexic.
I won't say names, but I watched this happen to a young girl who is now just way too thin.
So anyway, that's what.
We all have that problem.
If only I were anorexic, what I would give to be bulimic.
What I would give to throw up without having to throw up.
I wish someone cared enough about my career to tell me.
Me too.
Me too.
we think you could be a huge star are you alive yeah probably happens to alistair are you in town
i don't know let's go to this audition we don't care what you wear or say or do you're not gonna
get it anyway um more importantly no not more importantly equally as importantly as your show
jane yeah let's talk about becca's wedding oh so wonderful in jackson hole wyoming first of all
becca is very good it was ugly of course and you had your first scene with me i'm going all the way
take it back girl yeah and um we uh you became good friends with i'm telling you the story like

relationship with her and you guys coming over the house yes and what we call the lynch rehab

lynch rehab facility you drink coffee in the canyon it's so nice you gotta start charging
people for those oh it's no it's free it's it's it's for fun and for free it's my service to the

Are you talking about me crying?
Or whatever.
Anything you're surprised about.
Hilti can't get over the fact that Becca cried.
Well, I don't know.
Wait, I'm sorry.
Becca cried?
It was such a sweet...
Honestly, the wedding was very sweet.
It was so beautiful.
Just for the record, I was invited and I couldn't go.
So this is all really fun for me to hear all this.
But I didn't know she cried, so I want to investigate that.
Both you and Zach have such beautiful families.
We do.
That's true.
I mean, it was just...
The weekend was so beautiful.
And when...
I don't know.
I'm sure you saw this.
Do you remember when you were at the top of the stairs about to come down and your groom
turned to you and bowed from the waist like a gentleman?
He put his hands behind his back and he bowed.
Oh, my God.
I was gone after that.
I didn't think I was going to be able to get through it.
You'll have to check it out.
It was like a southern gentleman move.
His bride is up at the top of the stairs and he put his hands behind his back and he bowed.
I didn't see this.
Zach was emotional, too.
Zach was emotional, too.
He's the sweetest guy.
he really is
and you guys are so great
together
yeah you really are
thanks guys
wow Becca's head's
getting bigger
and it was really
an aesthetically beautiful
wedding to us
which is really important
I feel
yeah well not just
the Jackson
Jackson Hole
was gorgeous
and everything
but these two
yeah
and your families
your mother is gorgeous
her mother is so
dad is so handsome
and your sister
and those little kids
and your friends
Jack and Kelty
are gorgeous
remember my red dress
it was attractive
it was an attractive crowd
it was
it was
and Zach's family
his sisters are also tall and beautiful
and everybody's in great shape. Everybody
worked out in the morning. They were all
in my pajamas
drinking coffee. They're like full of
sweat and life and
drinking orange juice. It was incredible
what a group of insecure people can get
accomplished on vacation.
Paul, I'd like to move on
to something important about you.
I recently saw a photo of you in a male romper.
Yeah, that was amazing.
Oh my God.
Three really important things on this podcast. Becca's wedding
your show and the male romper.
What did you think?
And it's just if you didn't want anybody to know,
you put it on Instagram.
Was it the lace romper?
I'm like, oh no, how did you see that?
What did you think?
I want to hear your thoughts first.
And you can be blunt
because I have big thoughts about it.
Can you pull up the picture?
Yeah, pull it up.
Yeah, it's great.
First of all, can I just say
the first place my eye went was to your package,
which looked awesome.
Of course it does.
It does.
But Jane, something you guys don't know,
is fascinated by penises.
I am.
It's the first place I go when I look at someone.
I don't know if they're packing power.
and i can tell even if you can't even if it's not protruding yeah i just might have a grower
i don't think it was feel the power i think that we just found the quote the pack of power
pack of power yeah see you can really tell were you wearing a dance belt no i wasn't i wear um
but i will say like not that i've ever had any complaints no but i will say um i was wearing a
size small um and i probably should be a medium or a large that's why the package looks so but
yeah it's tight i guess that's almost obscene i have a question that it's plaid too it's very
retro where do you get these i don't think a man should ever ever wear these i don't know i don't
either and this was a joke men who weigh 120 pounds need to wear and that's it yeah and even
then i don't know i think it's kind of questionable uh but uh i you know i i had heard all this about
the romp hem or the romper or whatever and i saw i saw it at a place that i like to shop that's
like secondhand clothes because you can get great stuff for really cheap right is it the same place
that you can go for your hiv test out of the closet it is not but it is down the street from
that and a sidebar i did get my hiv testing i'm all good so um uh so i put on the romper and i
saw it on i saw it on the uh the rack and i put it on and i couldn't resist and i thought well
Well, you know what?
I mean, there's so much discussion about the romper.
I have to share this with people.
Was it a vintage romper?
No, it was made by Mr. Turk.
And funny enough, I did it ironically because I, in fact, I had said somewhere that like if you ever see me.
Yeah.
And I said, if you ever see me in this, you need to set me on fire.
And if I ever do wear one in public, I think you probably should.
I think there's an age cutoff and it's about 23 and you can be arrested after that for wearing a romper.
Yeah, I kind of agree.
and people think i bought it people like oh my god good for you it looks so great
and even mr turk said you look amazing he commented oh my god yeah he commented on
male division right yeah and they're you know they have some great stuff it may not be my style
but i thought you know let's try this romper out how much was it uh at the place that i went to
what's funny is at the place that i saw it it was on sale for 22 50 were you at one of those um
places you go this is the thing about paul that is he's so damn lucky he's a perfect size he's
he's slim he's got broad shoulders he's got little hips and he's a perfect size large or whatever he
can go into like crossroads anything that's where i found this yeah or goodwill and he can walk out
spending a hundred dollars and have like a tuxedo um a great pair of jeans a beautiful
cashmere sweater and beautiful shoes yeah and that's on the other hand one day jane's niece
calls me megan and she goes you'll never believe what jane just did and i'm like what did she do
she goes she bought this pair of pants that she really loves and it was like a similar pant that
you're wearing right now like a genie pant or drop weight like a drop crotch like relaxed fit yeah
She goes, she brought them to a tailor and had like hundreds of them made.
I did.
She's like, I can't even tell you how much she just spent.
I think it was like $3,000 to have one in every color.
I did.
I had them all made.
And you know what?
I decided I didn't like them after a while.
No, you did not.
And I kept them for about a year.
And then I think just recently is when they went into goodwill.
And who's going to wear them?
Where is there going to be a six-foot woman?
Paul.
But Paul, yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I've tried to give her my clothes.
It's so hard for me to fit things that if I find something that works, I have it made.
And then you never wear them.
Yeah, usually there's something wrong.
When you have custom clothes, they're so expensive.
And in my experience, rarely do they work.
It's better to get those little factory kids in China doing it by the books.
Child labor.
A little child labor.
Jane Lynch endorses child labor in China.
Yeah, that's fantastic.
That's going to be the headline coming out of this podcast.
What's their tiny hands?
They're able to do their fine stitching.
They work magic.
Those little stitches.
I've never loved you more.
This is great.
All right.
When we come back, Becca Tobin has prepared a game.
Oh, wow.
Yes, I have.
The Lady Gang.
And we're back.
Okay, guys.
First of all, I'm going to do a rapid fire kind of question situation for both of you.
So who would like to answer first?
Ladies first.
Okay.
So you'll answer then, Paul.
All right.
Okay.
Ready?
favorite food pizza pizza favorite song um if you don't know me by now if you don't know me
that's all we can clear then we have to pay paul favorite song jesus take the wheel
i hate that i know that's true um celebrity crush uh tom cruise
Isn't that crazy?
What?
I'm obsessed with Tom Cruise.
Get out.
I knew that.
That is odd.
But only Tom Cruise in 1994.
After that, he's crazy pants.
What was he in in 1994?
It was before he went completely crazy.
He had a light in his eyes.
Don't say that out loud.
You'll be a suppressed person.
Yeah, that is a beautiful, glossy hair.
And then it just went, he went, turned so bad.
And now he's just too fat.
And he needs to let his hair go gray.
And he needs to stop getting Botox.
Jane, have you met Tom Cruise?
No.
Okay, he's like 5'2".
Him and Beck are a perfect couple.
You and Tom Cruise, it would be awkward
in all the ways.
Isn't that crazy?
I know yours. James McAvoy.
I understand that.
He's a short guy, too, though.
You guys like little wee men.
Do you think Tom has a big penis?
No, I don't.
Oh my god, there's no way.
There's no way he has a penis.
I think James McAvoy is definitely packed.
Power pack.
Favorite movie?

That's not a superpower
I told this to Becca, I don't care if I look old
I don't care
I just want to be thin
You are really thin
I've got a Hollywood bowl that is untenable
It goes all the way around
is the hollywood bowl like what section is that it's below the belly button oh jane i have it
all the way and it goes around the back is that not a muffin top no it's a gun a little higher
ladies and gentlemen it's a gunt or as i like to call it a fupa you know what that means oh yeah
under pussy area right um i have a very interesting story about a fupa that i'll
share for later um one superpower you could have uh to like a lasso of truth you know so i could
always know the truth from people how about just reading people's minds that that's the one okay
can becca please follow me around
screw becca it's better as a lasso
like a wonder woman we need to talk about this at some point because that means that you think
people lie a lot yeah you trust issues they do people do lie a lot we're just i don't have that
at all i don't i don't want to know the truth most neither oh yeah i'm not ignoring this is
my question and my answer ladies yeah sorry about that go ahead hey i said tom cruise and they gave
me some shit so you're getting shit about the lasso of truth do i need to pick another
lasso of truth i love it too biggest pet peeve um when you're getting change and they put the
coin part on top of the dollars i know it's stupid what who even has cash anymore like when they you
know you're changing you get 350 and they put the 50 cents on top of it do you want them to do two
separate hands put the change first interesting because then it falls off the dollars okay again
i'm old because i don't think that's an age it's called venmo nobody uses credit cards
Biggest pet peeve, Paul?
Can I have two?
I'm going to have one and another one.
That's actually against the rules.
I'm going to break the rules because I'm a renegade.
Well, we're rebels.
People who take up two parking spaces.
Call the pig parker.
And people that in a market go into the 14 item or less line and have like 18 items.
This sounds like a bad stand-up act.
It's so annoying.
Okay, these aren't really good pet peeves.
Don't you hate it?
Don't you hate it?
When it says 10 items or less and they got 15 items.
Don't you hate it when you drive to the market
and someone took up two spots
and then you go through the 14 items
and they give you the change on the top?
Right? Well, maybe this comes back.
I hate grocery shopping.
So I'm kind of tagging both of those things
because I think of them in the same way.
Okay. All right.
Favorite actor?
Oh, my God.
Daniel Day-Lewis.
How dare you?
Oh, is that yours?
No.
It should be.
I should be yours.
Oh, Daniel Day-Lewis.
Favorite actor, I would say.
Or actress.
Oh, God.
It's so obvious.
I suck.
Meryl Streep.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, obvious again, but I agree.
I totally agree.
Yes.
Favorite vacation spot.
Montecito, California.
Burbank, California.
I like Burbank, too.
There are international listeners
Burbank is like
The worst
Crappy
Undesirable subdivision
You can't wait in line
To get into the Tonight Show though
That's always fun
That's where they wait in line
Yeah they wait
I remember the first time
I was in Burbank
I saw a line of people
Go what is that
Well they're waiting in line
To get into
There's a good karaoke bar there
That's all I know
Oh is that Dimples
No it's closed
It did
It did
Sorry
That's where the waitresses
Are all 70 years old
And wearing leotards
Yeah
You're welcome
Good bar
Make sure that visual
Turn on.
Oh, because the ship has sailed for me sexually, so turn on.
Humor.
Humor.
Just in anybody.
That was literally mine.
Okay.
Turn off.
Lack of humor.
Dishonesty.
Smelly balls.
So I'm just adding that in.
You are really having some trust issues.
Wait, Paul, I've used your term a few times on the podcast, and now I can say who I coined
it from when I say my friend Paul, ball vinegar.
Oh, I love it.
I love a nice ball vinegar.
It's so good.
He doesn't mind a little ball vinegar at the end of the day.
I see someone running or hiking on Fryman.
If they're cute, look, I'm in.
Ball vinegar and all.
What's so gross is we don't even have to explain to people what that is.
No, you know what it is.
You know right away.
Okay.
Can't leave the house without my lipstick, my Burt's Bees Red Dahlia.
Oh, that's what I use.
Oh, really?
It's good stuff, isn't it?
Red Dahlia is the best.
You're wearing it now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's weird.
I thought I was the only person who bought that.
No.
Is that the tinted stuff?
Yeah, it's really good.
I love Burt's Bees.
It looks like your natural.
Please sponsor us.
Whatchamacallit.
Like a natural lip.
Yeah.
But a little darker.
I have it mixed with a lipstick.
Yeah.
I actually have a little Clinique called Honey, which I will show you, which is not far from
the Red Dahlia.
It's a good one.
Yeah.
Breath mints.
Okay.
Last one.
Favorite curse word.
Fuck a duck.
Jane, we told you there was one rule on this podcast.
This is a trick question.
Cunt.
Cunt.
That's the best.
You can say that?
I don't know how you can say cunt.
Well, I mean, they just say the reason for the no Fs is because advertisers get scared.
We don't want to have to list our podcast as explicit.
And if you say the F word, it's explicit.
But we're allowed to talk about raging yeast infections, anal sex, anything you can possibly imagine.
And I just said cunt.
Great.
And we're still not explicit.
I feel like that's a worse word than that word.
Family fun.
Can we play our one more game?
I think so.
Okay.
A nice quick game.
Okay.
This is called F. Marry Kill.
Have you played this before?
Marry Kill?
So you have to, I'll give you three people.
Okay.
And you have to decide who you're going to have sex with.
Oh, okay.
Who you're going to marry.
Okay.
And who you're going to kill.
This sounds like a game from like a sleepover.
It is.
Okay.
This is a sleepover.
Welcome.
I hope you brought your PJs.
Toothbrush.
Okay.
Okay.
Jack Black.
Okay.
Jim Carrey.
Jim Carrey.
Jim Carrey.
Louis C.K.
Okay.
Okay, I would sleep with Jim Carrey.
I would marry Louis C.K.
I wouldn't kill Jack Black, but okay.
He goes.
Yeah.
I like Jack Black, but I have to choose.
I'm interested that you'd want to have sex with Jim Carrey.
All I want to do is marry Louis C.K.
Okay.
I mean, I had to put him somewhere.
You did.
Yeah.
You only gave me three choices.
Somebody's got to go.
I would F Louis C.K.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
I like a change.

default no uh but i would marry jack black because then i've always wanted to marry somebody named
jack so it's jack and really so jim carrey's going actually okay i think it'd be a lot of fun to be
i'm gonna marry um i'm gonna marry louis ck because i saw him once uh at messes square garden
and i peed a little my pants i think he would really keep me laughing he's great i'm gonna
have sex with jim carrey because i think in his younger day he might have been like a wild ride
and then I'm going to kill Jack Black
just because he made Kung Fu Panda 19
and I've had too many Kung Fu Pandas.
I'm going to marry Jack Black.
Okay.
I'll have sex with Jim Carrey.
Okay.
And then Louis C.K. goes.
Oh.
Becca.
I have inside information.
Oh.
Oh, really?
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Wait, like about him having a small penis?
Well, that's obvious.
No, I think he's packing.
Allegedly.
Really?
He does have big dick energy.
He totally has big dick energy.
He has little dick and I don't care.
or maybe that's it
yeah
that could be it
yeah now I want to

Gwyneth Paltrow
Julia Roberts

I would definitely
murder Gwyneth Paltrow

i like julia i would marry kate hudson because she's the daughter of goldie hawn and she's got
a great little ass yeah she doesn't agree i would marry gwyneth i think she's rad what
i love everything she does i don't care goop me till the cows come home
i would have sex with kate hudson because she's hot and julia roberts is not a nice person
allegedly i'm just telling you that when i straight up interviewed her she's not a nice
person allegedly it's my experience allegedly when i was in the room with her i thought you're
not here's the thing nice enough right she did kick me out of her can party um allegedly when
i was standing there trying to eat the free oysters i just she's not a girl's girl and i'm
can't get by wait okay so since jane's probably the most famous person we've ever had on the
podcast i do maybe you hate the press i know do you hate you hate the i mean you don't hate the
people of the press but you do you hate the whole like press yeah but not like yeah i mean i don't
hate it you're never nasty to people never well you've never been nasty to anybody yeah well i
don't know about that like every time you see her even when you're like hey jane we needed you in
five minutes ago you're still like i'm sorry guys i gotta go like there's some people that are just
so dumpy that it's like i'm sorry like they really do believe that what they do is so much better
than what you do
and I'm like
well I've been standing here
for 10 hours
waiting for you
so at least give me
a smile and a wave
you know
that's it
okay on that note
you're just a better actress
I might be
but you know
that's the thing
is when you look at them
as just being a person
because sometimes
I don't like doing it
and you're meeting
with another person
that like
I've stopped people before
and said
that's the question
you're going to ask me
rethink about it
you know
and I'll actually sit with them
think about something
like especially
the stupid questions
that are like
gum uh you know what's your favorite moisturizer really yeah why don't you find a different
different question you know what's funny uh when we did the premiere for a drop set of film but we
had a lot of we had some press there and everyone without a doubt was talking about how you are so
nice the press really likes you well thank you which is good yeah thank god good rep on that
note yes you're going to really like our lady gang because up next they've written in questions
and you're going to help them figure out their lives.
Oh, wonderful.
That's awesome.
And we're back.
And we're back.
Before we start, ask the Lady Gang,
which is Ask the Fempire, still on our thing, by the way.
If you guys want 20% off of jackvanek.com,
use code LADYGANG, and I brought you guys some mugs.
Oh.
Some little fancy mugs.
If you listen, what is that?
In memory of when I could sleep in.
Jack Vanek.
Who's that?
That's me.
That's you.
Oh, I didn't know you.
Hello.
Is your name Jacqueline?
Jacqueline.
Jacqueline.
That's beautiful that you go by Jack.
I love that, Jack.
Well, I knew you were Jack, but I didn't recognize this from that.
And what else do you have?
I have, if you listen closely, you can hear me not caring.
It's amazing.
So you guys can swap them around if you want.
When you go to the Lynch retreat.
No, no, no, I'm not going to.
We'll have herbal tea in these at the Lynch Rehab Center.
Oh, yes.
Hey, ladies.
Ask the Lady Gang.
So for this part of our podcast, we had our listeners writing questions and we give them
questionable advice but so you guys can give as good or as bad as you want so our first question
is from crystal crystal says i'm in a wedding this summer she's a friend from college my old
roommate was also good friends with her but is not in the wedding when i asked her if she would
be going to the wedding in july she said she doesn't feel like taking off of work how do i
not be a bitch about this and get over it do i just need to not care basically it would be like
kelty not feeling like going to becca's wedding because she's probably busy that day well okay
So this is a friend of yours who used to be friends with the bride and she's not going
to go.
So what the hell do you care?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're both friends.
It's none of your business.
It's none of your business.
Yeah.
It's none of your business.
Yeah.
Stay out of it and grow up.
Paul?
That was very succinct and amazing.
I like toast.
Yeah.
I don't think it even applies.
I think just-
That's not a real problem.
Let her do her own thing.
You do yours.
Not everyone feels about weddings how you might feel and being in the bridal party.
you're probably trickle-down hurt for the bride
because she's probably hurt about it, but
to each their own. Not everyone can come to
every wedding, and it doesn't mean you love
people less. Some people are wedding people. I would
never miss a wedding because I think it's the funnest thing in the whole world.
And you were a blast at Becca's wedding, too.
She was a blast. I love weddings.
There were a lot of wasted people at that party at the end.
It was fun to watch.
Crystal, live your own life. You do you.
I also feel like with weddings, the best thing
that I told myself when I was
planning my own was like,
this is about me and Zach
this is not about me and my friendships
granted it's beautiful to have those people there
but like it's not about your guests
so you have to just come to terms
with the fact that people have lives
people have budgets, people have other priorities
and it's not always the weddings
you never know what's going on in their lives
you guys were really cool about that too
you and Zach were just really laid back
you had to come
I had to be there for sure
but it was pretty amazing too
because it was a destination wedding
becca's was in jackson hall which is not cheap to get to not easy it's in the in december early
december um not hard and not easy to get off of work and so many people showed up i thought it
was just a testament to you guys and i know that you were very chill about it you know who could
come and who couldn't come and that's that's cool yeah weddings are brutal way funner to be
you know i think that's great advice about it it's about zach and you yeah it's about you and
you're you're betrothed it's all that matters okay our second question comes from laura and
laura says i'm 20 years old and i've been out of a relationship for a while i have no issue with
being single and dating myself for a while but the lack of sex is hard oh good for her i've never
been one for hookups or one night stands as i find it quite complicated to not catch feelings
any advice on how to shake the fear and get out there and become the boss ass bitch that i want
to be oh well i love that she's got a sexual drive i love hearing that about women they have
sexual drive um because we have no idea what that's like yeah i don't i'm like wait to be 20
what did my vagina feel like my vagina was soaking wet mine too well you're 20 years old which is
great that you're having these these kinds of thoughts and that uh they're actually it's
actually not just the sex yeah health the sex is healthy but also i mean the um just the way
she's examining it um do i am not much for hookups because you catch the feelings so i think she's
almost can answer her own question is take it a day at a time it sounds like she's smart doesn't
sound like you know our first question who was like i'm mad at my girlfriend this this sounds
like a girl who's thoughtful and has some self-empowerment and um that's my my answer
yeah i have to say get a good vibrator yeah absolutely if it's just you needing to get off
and you'll be fine after that and let's be honest the makeout part of the sex is the best part yeah
She might be into the penny.
The penny might be a lot for her, which is slang for penetration.
In the lesbian world, we would say, are you into penny?
And goodnight.
We're going to have to add that to the Lady Gang dictionary.
And you know what?
If you are hooking up with somebody, you always have this caveat and say, look, we're hooking up.
And, you know, I may not love you tomorrow and you may not love me tomorrow and that's okay, too.
Just that you're both very clear.
come on over for the penny okay next question oh my god i just love that word okay our last
question's from britney and she says i've been with my boyfriend for about two years
last year the week of my birthday we got into a fight and he broke up with me he was acting
out of character and was immediately sleeping with girls from the bar three months later i
ran into him at a party and we started talking again it's been about six months of being
officially back together and i'm still constantly worried that he's going to abruptly leave me
again i still occasionally text other guys and won't post any pictures of him on social media
in fear of losing and fears of losing interest of possible suitors if my heart is broken again
he has been amazing since we've been back together i've never clicked so well with someone before
i mean girl if you're still talking to other guys because you need a backup this is not the guy for
you he's not making you here's the thing he might be the guy for you when you're like 20 but like
when you're 30 and you're building a life with someone like you don't want someone that you
can't trust or that you think is going to, like, walk out.
Although, Chris, please don't leave me.
I feel like you're going to walk out every day.
I literally am like, every day Chris is going to be like, this is some bullshit.
I'm out.
Yeah, but that's a you problem.
No, I feel like that with Zach, too.
I'm like, how much can a human take?
Jesus.
I think with Zach a lot.
I am awful.
I do.
I think anything you do is going to be A-OK with him.
God, we're so pretty.
We're so pretty.
Yeah.
I think, yeah, I think that our intuition is really like all we need in this situation.
And if if someone can leave you and like, you know, the week of your birthday and go
sleep with a bunch of bitches, he clearly only thinks about himself.
So, yeah, this reminds me of a very close situation that happened to a friend of mine
and then they did it again.
So it's just like if they can leave you once that easily, they're going to leave you again.
And I think the big problem here is how she's feeling, which is a terrible place to be anxious
and not trusting and it's really nobody's fault i think you either have to accept that this
relationship is a day at a time and accept that it could happen because it could happen anytime
at any point with anybody right um so you just that's where it comes we have to bring it back
in bring it back and if it's just too much for you it's too much mental anguish uh and heart
anguish then then you need to leave it but it sounds like you're having fun just chillax and
I wouldn't worry so much about
tomorrow. If only she had your
truth lasso, Paul.
Idiot.
He has a very practical superpower, though.
I like it. I like Jane's.
Nothing is more practical than not gaining weight.
To be skinny and eat as much as you want.
That's true. And pizza's not my favorite
food, by the way. I just have to go back.
I said pizza because I couldn't think of anything else.
My favorite food
is sushi.
