Hey guys, the following podcast is a Lady Gang Network and Podcast One production, which means it's going to be awesome. Well, what is this? Welcome to the Lady Gang. That's amazing. Say that again. The Lady Gang. Things are about to change around here.

Each week we catch up with Hollywood's hottest girl posse, Kelty Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jack Vanek. Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the Lady Gang. I'm Becca Tobin here with Jack Vanek and Kelty Knight. And someone named Jerry. Jerry. Jerry. Jerry.

Jerry. We let Jared into our Good Week. Secret society. Yes. Or just the segment called Good Week. That's the same kind of thing. So on that note, it's time for. Good Week.

Yes, it is. Bad Week. Oh, no. All right. Who's kicking it off? I'll go. Okay. Okay.

In honor of your love. In honor of my love. Oh, this will be a good Good Week, Bad Week in honor of my love. Have you ever listened to our podcast before? Do you know what this part is? Yeah, once or twice. Okay, yeah. Well, Jared tries to pretend like he hasn't, but I know that he has.

You listen secretly? Only if I know I've been talked about, like when Afton was on. Oh, yeah. Wait, so you only listen, only when you're on. Only if I've heard that you've said something. Like a true narcissist. Like a true lady ganger. That's what I do.

I only listen to this thing when someone's talking about me. As we do. okay so my good week is we did this thing on lady gang tv that never got shown and it was my good week for the show and it was a game that i learned how to play called text or shot oh yeah yeah the premise of the game is when you're out with friends you take somebody's phone and you go through their contacts and you pick anybody that you want to pick and then you show the person their phone and they're like text you have to say text or shot if you say text the person can text them anything if you say shot you have to take shot but then they don't have to text them kelsey

texted josh groban i texted josh groban do you want to come have a sexual threesome with the lady gang girls i've been married for a long time and i'm bored and then he's text back i'm with my girlfriend right now and then i think no he's like i'm in a relationship and then he's like please don't use this so oops maybe we shouldn't talk about it we're so excited about it he did the right thing he responded that he's in a relationship he's a good guy yeah he is a good god damn it god damn it penis allegedly a big penis yeah allegedly sorry i forgot jerry was i would love to know this kind of stuff he's always a part of my girl girl talk anyways okay so for uh we played this on the show because i like talked about it that was my good week this

is my good week on this episode too because it's a very fun game highly recommend to play with your friends but on lady gang tv we did it becca went through my phone and texted a guy named abram tinder and the text was hey abram i loved getting to know you and i feel comfortable enough to ask you something okay wait by the way the last time i had talked to abram tinder was in 2014 oh my god okay i have a fetish that i'm sort of embarrassed about but my therapist says it's time to start expressing myself and not feel the shame anymore so here it goes i paint my menses blood and i need a male model for my next piece the good spin on the story is that abram is a male model and my only my only like i only went out with him once and my biggest um memory of him is he was

like dry humping my side of my body because he had like slept over but we didn't like do anything yeah but dry humping me and fully clothed but anyways abram didn't respond until a week ago and this was also in april and he just goes oh hey i just saw this message but it just happened to be when jared and i were out to dinner and then my phone just pops up abram tinder i try so hard not to look at your phone when we're hanging out and it just said tinder right on the phone yeah so i was like what is this and the more you explained it the weirder it got also like did you believe did you think this is an extravagant lie that jack is coming up with It's like the girls made me do it.

It's almost unbelievable. So, yeah. It's almost like how could anybody, like, how can this be real? You have to just like kind of digging yourself in further. And I was. And it was almost as bad as when I was. So, Jared obviously lives in Arizona, comes and stays with me. And he, like, leaves some of his clothes.

He left a woman's panty. No. Well, no. Opposite. A man panty? You had a man panty? I put all of his clothes in, like, my nightstand, like, his random underwear and stuff. and i'm like oh you left a pair of shorts no those aren't my shorts shorts whose shorts are

they jack i don't know they're it's a great question mine are they basketball shorts they are there yeah i don't know that's shady jack i know but i don't know who they are they're small too they are i hate that guy's so skinny i know he is i'm just kidding is it your ex he's like super tiny i think we couldn't fit one leg in i mean i'm surprised you're not wearing basketball shorts with crop tops these days i know you should be that does sound like something i would do it does okay easily use that i could yeah this is a new look oh wait those are mine oh shit well they're mine oh yeah whatever is that your bad week that was my good week was the game the bad week was 10 of the underwear yeah okay oh becca you double bad underwear okay one second i mean

my bad week is really it's a long story should i should i go there and try to make it as short as possible yes i'm torn okay well um our house is on the market it's a very emotional time and we had two offers come in and one was an all cash offer hot and one was not a cash offer however the woman who did the non-cash offer wrote a letter wrote a beautiful letter it was like the most lovely letter and it really sang to my heart and soul so we ended up going with her well this bitch halfway through the process pulls all these shenanigans after inspection and then she basically lies and says that like we didn't disclose information about the lot next door to us yada yada yada yada even though i watch everything on the nest cam when we're not there and i heard

her talking about the information yes so we caught her but there's really no like way so i thought the house was going to this like lovely person it was meant to be turns out it's not and so i'm gonna have to take the cash offer of the person who's probably gonna bulldoze it and build a mini mansion yeah you did a good job of making that short this is why you don't like do nice things for people no i was assholes she's an asshole and she works at wme by the way kelty i want Probably my agent. It probably is your agent. But it was such bullshit.

What is happening in the lot next door? They're going to build a house. Someone owns it. But, like, they have plans to build that may or may not ever happen. And that's what we told her. And so she, I think, got cold feet. And then she was like, oh, I need a reason. And so she asked for, like, an insane amount of money back for this information.

Whatever. People are shady. And I hate going through this process. That's my bad week. Okay. My good week is this. I found out a trick about Instagram that has changed my life. Ooh, okay.

Hacks. Do you know there's a way to get someone to unfollow you without them knowing they unfollowed you? What? Yes. I love that. Wait, how? You go in and you block them and then you quickly unblock them and they are no longer

following you. Really? Yes. So here's the bummer part about it. Have you ever been scrolling through your Instagram or on your search page someone comes up and you click on them because you're like, oh, I follow this person, but then suddenly you're not following them anymore and you have to re-follow them, they have manually

gone in to make sure that you unfollowed them without knowing. That's like a good thing to do when you want to unfollow somebody so you make them unfollow you and then you're like oh well they don't follow me, so I'm going to unfollow them. Why would you not want to follow someone? It just seems weird. There's so many people I don't want to follow. I just mute

people I don't want to follow. They just like pop up. No they don't pop up. But then they're still on your follower count. I don't see you Jack. Ha ha ha. Rude. there actually was a period of time where like i was not seeing jack's stories because i accidentally blocked you remember were you trying to get me to unfollow you no i know because remember i was posting a story and you're like wait make sure to block this person because we're we're it was

something business related yeah so i like go to block the one person from not doing the one story in fact was blocked just back up bullshit well i didn't want to tell you that it was real it's All right. Bad week. Attached. What? What? I don't know.

What the hell kind of comment was that you made on air on ET tonight about Adam Levine? Gosh, you are as uneducated as they come and embarrassed to call you a fellow Canuck. Do you realize the front man of Maroon 5 doesn't need the voice to buy a house? You thick. He clearly has dissed you in an attempted interview and bruised your ego, Tiny Dancer. Tiny Dancer? Did they call you a thick? Also, you're a thick.

You're thick, yeah. not a period to be had not a period not not a single punctuation and emojis i basically just said when adam levine decided to leave the voice i said do you think he'll ever someone said do you think he'll ever come back and i said when he wants to buy another house it's a true story true story it's all relative all relative right anyway i did like that you said tiny dancer thank you good week i'm in the airport and i see this like dad and dad sweatpants and dad t-shirt and dad sneakers at the gate with his little girl and i'm always like oh my god i love it when like dads are traveling with daughters like i just think there's something like really super cute

about it girlfriend boyfriend no it was dad it was no it was a dad and like it was like a six year old right and so we're walking by and i'm like getting in line or whatever and i don't know what happened and like why this story exists but he just turned to the girl and he goes shut the up and she was like tiny she was like six she had like her little sparkly backpack he was just like shut the up do you think people think that when zach says things like that to me at airports so don't talk to your daughter like that so rude all right jerry what do i do bad week either one all right bad my phone he was going through it i try i don't know it was from abram tinder wait is this my phone yes it's your phone who else has that i don't know she has like

a wallet attached to her phone okay okay so my nervous are you shaking i'm good okay do i seem nervous no no i don't i mean he performs for thousands of people i don't perform for tens of people small crowds give me anxiety though this probably is more like this is way more intimate bit yeah i love when you guys wear all white thanks okay it's very it's very source family okay it's colty yeah anyways uh my bad week is simple i got so jack hooked it up and now i have uh like aligners like i'm fixing my teeth because i never got braces when i was younger and i definitely boyfriend glow up yeah yeah it's all part of the jerry spearheading this whole thing yeah as i should so what does his hair look good too he's been growing it out i fixed chris don't

worry it happens yeah sometimes we just need it i don't know i needed it so well you know what it your husband material that's a good sign I wouldn't be wasting my time giving you free aligners and she mentions that all the time too so I'm aware so anyways I have these little trays, I've never done this before

I'm on like the second week and it's so hard to keep them clean and so I was like Jack, because she wears the night guard because she grinds her teeth when she sleeps so I was like how do you clean it and she was like get Effordent which is what I think old people use for dentures so I put them in boiling water

I'm on tour And I pull them out, like, five minutes later, and they're about – They shrunk. It's like a little baby mouth. So I, like, call Jack, and I'm freaking out. And luckily she had, like, some backups. No, he goes, oh, no, no, no. He, like, tries to put them back in his mouth, but they're literally, like, two inches long.

I was, like, shoving them back into my mouth, like, trying to get my teeth to fit into them. And it just wasn't working. Like, don't shift back. Don't shift back. How many weeks are you at now? I'm at five right now. It's five months total. Is it brutal?

It hurts, right? This week sucks. I had to take him out for this. He is a little lispy. I'm so cute. I'm trying our new sponsor, the one that has the thing that's supposed to alleviate the pain. What's that? But your teeth are perfect.

No, my bottom teeth are crooked. And I'm also getting him for Zach because he needs another glove. Do you have a good week? Just being here. You don't need a good week. I've been living like a pirate for a month because we're doing our own festival right now, so I've been pretty exhausted and sunburnt, and I like being here, so I'm here. Yay.

Yay, Jerry. All right, when we come back, Jerry. Now back to the Lady Gang. All right, we're back. Now I'll do your intro. Okay. Our guest today is the super-duper important rock star, lead guitarist of the critically acclaimed cult followed band the main with his hits such as in the backseat of the taxi that is the only

one i know his band has toured all over all over the world spreading their super stardom and rocking everybody's socks off oh yeah he also dates jack vanek welcome to the podcast now i have a question we put jared main as your name yeah we don't think that's your name my actual name monica monica yeah i put jared main i don't know why that's my instagram handle you gotta change that that was a mistake yeah jared from the main i think it kind of gets the point across it's like i like it are all the other excuse me band members like ben main none of them no they all are no they're not you guys levels lovers is it just everybody must have changed to think that's how we started you just go eight years ago that's what it was we were like guys how are we

doing this something so funny happened the other day i was on spotify and i was listening to music And I was like, oh, I hate it when these bands cover these lame songs. Who would cover this stupid song? And then I looked and it was the main. Yep. I think it was like in your eyes or like, I don't know. In your eyes. Peter Gabriel.

I'll find what it is. That'd be awesome. We haven't done that, but I would love to. But I don't think it's not now. I don't think. Yeah. I don't know if that's going to be a good cover. You guys would not cover that well.

No. Anyway, it was in your eyes. No, I don't remember. I'll tweet about it. Okay. Well, we have a lot. Jared, we've heard a lot about you for many moons. How long were you officially pining over Jack Vanek before you?

Oh, should we welcome to the Celt Down? Everyone's expecting us. We're in the hot seat, baby. We're in the hot seat. Okay. Because we've seen pictures of 10 years ago. You even liked Jack when she had that horrible red hair. I did because I had horrible red hair.

But yours was like real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yours was a little bit different. Mine was brassy orange. She was missing some eyebrows, too. I know. See, he liked me when I didn't have eyebrows. That's love.

That's true. I had a fourth of an eyebrow. That's probably why I'm sitting here today. Yeah. Okay, so how long have you loved Jack? Oh, man. That's a tough question. Yeah.

It is a tough question. Well, okay, I'm going to give a little backstory to our story. Okay. So Jared and I had met like 10 years ago, and we met kind of like, I don't know if it was on Warped Tour, but it was like in the music scene. and then we went on warp tour and warp tour is kind of this there's like a group of people and you travel around the country together it's super close knit yeah tell us new information well what do you want to know i want to know how long jared has loved her i don't think she's told this it's

a family and you're touring around and everyone's hanging out on the buses because you read my thing in the book oh okay anyway so it was kind of an evolution of sorts i met jack on warps yeah and i remember i used to watch her lugging her she had a tent that she would set up every day and it looked like it weighed like 50 pounds and i'd watch her like dragging it across the dirt i would sometimes go and walk with her or help her or just try to spend time at her tent like throughout the day because it was like a circus basically and so we i think we met in la before warped it actually happened so but like we always had this like weird relationship where we always like gravitate towards each other like there was no reason for us to like really be friends

outside of anybody else but we always like found each other like yeah like i'd always like come over to your bus or you'd always come over to me and we always just it was like magnetic she would just complain about guys to me were you singles i was not i was but i'd always i was like hooking up with the guy that i lost my virginity to and like another guy on the tour and you're telling and i'm like venting to jared so he was like kind of my big my buddy and who was your girlfriend at the time my girlfriend lived in phoenix so i knew her that's why you should never do long distance okay you're an idiot um i like that you said oh you almost said he was like my brother he's like my big bro

bald man no he was like my buddy and we were like besties for years and it was like a good foundation to know each other on and we've we just have like a very there aren't many people in my life that i feel that just know me to my core and he was one of the only people throughout my entire life that just understood me okay so next question we saw her dating he who shall not be named i did too you did too okay and then they had the breakup lurking my instagram they had the breakup and it was dark at what point were you like it's my time to get in the back seat of a taxi like that um it didn't really go down like that it didn't no there were i like occasionally i'd be like let's jack up too over the years because we after did you ever see her doing the

scott the jack oh the jack pose what is that where you're getting lifted up off the ground yeah yeah i saw that obnoxious right it's fine it's whatever it was gross i was never down with it i was always team jerry right isn't it annoying yeah but there was no i couldn't do anything right i i was so when did you go for it when were you like it's my time well i had a breakup i guess same time no like about a year after yours give or take and so like we always kind of were orbiting each other over the years but never like in that place in our lives individually where like we could actually we didn't talk for like four years because he like ditched me as a friend and then well i would think i went full ghost because i had to he had to yeah yeah but i was pissed and i was like dude

you i don't need friends that like aren't this is proof enough why he had to cut you out oh i know but then he tried you tried to hang out with me once i was like and then we were kind of orbiting around each other and then he finally went through a breakup and okay okay yeah it's what is it like to date jacqueline may vanik i don't know your male names you just said my mom's name? Petraeus. Petraeus. I want to know, what is it like to date Jack? Do you like activities? I do now. But you didn't before? I think I always have. You didn't know how much you liked activities? I'm very subdued most of the time because we're on the road and I'm kind of overstimulated all the time. So for me to wind down, when I come off the

road that like that's my vacation it's like doing nothing she's the opposite but i have learned over the last couple months or i guess the last year or so that i i would much rather be active and like doing stuff so there's never really a dull moment like she doesn't sit still ever ever ever i mean i think i do i think if anybody follows us on instagram they think the only thing that we do is probably play cornhole i think that's what you do i think that's all you do it is it's really it's really not though but it's the i mean i just hope people aren't putting that on me that's the only thing oh no don't worry no we know it's jack it's her whole family i'm not saying i don't like it i'm not saying that okay jack i want to talk to you about something what being someone

who also likes to wind down and do nothing and hate i just like being dragged around to play games and drink all day i'm just saying that at some point jerry might look at you and be like babe i work really hard i go on tour the last thing i want to do is talk to people throw a beanbag through a hole and drink 17 beers like you have to be okay are you okay no but his thing when they're on tour they do nothing yeah you guys play shows at night and they require a lot of energy you just kind of store the energy all day during their day they don't do i mean they shouldn't their job is to perform it's not the lady gang live all we do is shit talk he's playing an instrument but my point is i do like doing those things yeah i didn't think for a long time

I always thought like oh I because when we first started playing shows I was like I need like three or four hours before we go on stage to prep myself yeah I was like so neurotic about it which is that's insane um and the older that I've gotten the more that I've done that the more it's just kind of like I could just roll in three minutes before go on stage it's fine so I'd rather spend the time that I have traveling that like fortunate lifestyle that I have yeah doing things so yeah that's kind of the big realization I've had in the last year especially having Jacqueline around is that like we both like to do things but it's also you're traveling the world on you know not for free but like as a job you should be able to go out and like experience the cities you're in

like that's such a fortunate thing to be able to do so i think that and when yeah everybody really needs to experience cincinnati find a rooftop columbus was the bomb i thought that anyways whatever now jerry do you want to say thank you to becca and i because we we sold jack on the idea of you that's not true that is so not it's not actually don't let her take credit we tried to get her to date a guy herself on it no well we tried to date her to date a guy with a jet with a jet a jet we were like you're the last hope like both becca and i married for love it was an error and we're like don't do what we've done get a jet and then she brought you into the fold and we're like okay well we like we seem to like jerry so congrats i was worried well then

I was worried, too, because you're a musician. If you look at the list, it doesn't look great on paper. I agree. You're not great on paper, Jerry. That's all right. I'm not great on paper. We were suspicious. We were suspicious.

Yeah. I mean, I guess what were the flags? Musician, obviously. Touring. Touring. All white. The bad covers. All white.

No, the all white is sexy. Well, you guys are biased Backstreet Boys fans. Well, I'm going to say right now I don't really enjoy a band in all white. I don't enjoy a grown man in all white I like it in a band Word 5 does that too sometimes It's hard to pull off What I love is when I see Jack on Instagram

And she's like backstage watching you It's like her And her favorite element Like Jack is just meant to be Peeking out of a curtain backstage watching a guy play And I tried to get away from it For so long It just keeps haunting me

We tried to make her date a lawyer And she was like oh so boring Well, the last guy I dated before Jared was a scientist, and he was fucking crazy. It's true. And cheap. And cheap. God, that's awful. And cheap.

Okay. Now, what was each other's first impression of each other? I don't remember when I met you. No, yeah. I remember when I met you. Of course he does. And I can't remember the name of the bar in L.A. I remember it had red.

Buffalo Wild Wings. Like red velvet walls. That's all I remember. The Beauty Bar. Yeah. Is that what it was called? I don't know. From Phoenix.

i don't know so i was out here for the weekend we were doing like some label stuff out here and i don't know one of a mutual friend like threw a party and i met you there and it was really brief it was like maybe 10-15 minutes and we're like that's the love of my life no no that was probably like the next time or the one yeah i don't remember see i don't remember when i met jared but i do remember that he so he his hair used to be like the emo flop but he's obviously like a ginger so it was like a gingery flop and then you wore those really really bad neon sunglasses we don't have to get into it like his his old school pictures are almost as bad as mine like if the google was i've tried to scrub google but it's not possible

yeah those are up forever they are yep the emo days never die now jerry has it been difficult being in a relationship with someone you know that is going to spill every detail of your life on her hip podcast. Dare I say, number one female podcast in the world. I kind of like it. I was telling you guys, like, I'll listen. You're like, oh, Afton said something nice about you. So I pulled it up and I was like, oh, this is great.

And then I texted Afton. I was like, I love you, Afton. She's supporting me. I don't feel like I I don't delve in too much. Honestly, not as much as you should. She doesn't. No. But I don't really care. What, if I did? So you give permission. Did you know that

Jack uses too much toilet paper? I do know that. You do? Yeah, I was thinking that this morning. I've never realized this is a problem until two weeks ago. Unbelievable. Where does it go? I got up this morning.

We just bought a whole, I bought a, you know like the mega rolls? They're like that big. I got up this morning and I just put a new one on. I swear to God, half of it is gone. I took a poop and then I needed another. She wipes head to toe. like i don't know what's going on in there i don't know she leaves it in the toilet no the time that you're talking about is two times i don't well okay well the one of the times yeah

and then you leave it afterwards why what's the after okay this is the weird thing that happens is i flush and then somehow this is too much you're gonna break the plumbing you are you just gotta chill no but the time that i was talking about is i pee a shit ton maybe you're who clogged my goddamn toilet i bet it was your fault that the biohazard people i did take a well no i was one of the people that used it we finally got through this i had used it that morning but at the time i didn't know about your clog ability about the toilet paper consumption god damn it i'm so happy that like that's a thing it's a thing no it's not a thing for everyone it's just jack i never realized i'm happy that you guys are aware sometimes when i take two squares i'm like

this is such a waste of paper i mean i just want to make sure i'm wiped but okay what i was gonna say is if you do have anal with her it's gonna be clean it is it's gonna be a pristine asshole i don't i'm just yeah trying to like triple wipe i guess who knew it was a problem okay i have a simple solution what it's a bidet yeah yeah and i can install one and i'll probably do it where are you good at like home improvement yes oh that's a very he's jackpot jack jack pot jackpot oh my god jack you should do something around that name it's great jackpot yeah it's great um jerry do you think jack's like the one yeah oh we have like very candy conversations about it you do let's talk about it now on the podcast for everyone do it

gonna how long have you guys been together a little over a year but there's lots of people who tour for a living that still have children absolutely yeah things things look different i mean obviously i'm 31 doing it now when i was 20 my priorities were completely different you know i've been doing this for 12 years so it's like um how often are you guys on the road pretty often we always have been pretty heavily on the road so every record cycle is two years so put a record out we'll be busy for the first year and then the second year is a little bit slower but we're at a kind of a pivotal point for our band people are getting older we've got two guys engaged now and things are going to start getting more serious as we go on so um there's no rule

book for like how to do it there's nothing there's no like playbook so we're just kind of figuring it out as we go and this is real do you know what kind of engagement ring she wants i do oh my god we're talking about this morning you were i don't want to get bamboozled into an ugly one no it's important and i don't trust men that's why i asked yeah no he knows is it a halo yes Triple halo. Yeah. Triple halo. It's just all filler.

Yeah, it's just like a bunch of little guys. No, I don't trust men at all to pick out a diamond. No. Okay. Well, you look like you have something. Do you feel satisfied? Not really, to be honest. They still don't have a plan.

They don't need a plan, Kelty. Are you sure? They are both on the same page. That's enough of a plan. Okay, if you're on the same page, you're deciding to not have a plan. Here's what's going to happen. It doesn't sound like you have a plan. Do you want to hear what's going to happen?

Where are you going to live? What city? I'm getting jetted right now. You're getting jetted. No, he's going to move here. You're going to move to L.A.? No, I'm coming out here for sure. Obviously, I know that Jack has a roots here.

That was like one of the first things we talked about. I'm like, I'm not going to move to Arizona. Good. Now, she's going to have the babies. You're going to be off on the road. No, he's not. That can't happen. Then what are you going to do for money?

Oh, my God. Let him be on the road, Jack. There's nothing wrong with that. It's hot. Your parents live here. Chris is basically living in New York, and it's the best our relationship has ever been. He's been gone for two weeks, and I'm like, here's the thing. See you when I see you.

Let me just tell you something. The three weeks that I get to leave the house and all my responsibilities to go do some wretched project, I love being away. I love that. I love it. No, I agree. But I love being away. It's going to be great. Well, I just won't have a kid with him gone.

You can. Your mom's here. Your mom is literally going to be birthing. Your parents are both here. Let him live. You can't take his gypsy soul. Oops. gypsy soul out of him this is great let his gypsy soul i think that you should still tour

Let's do it. This is like a good-looking duo, too, for a country. I don't want to give away any of my songs right now, but I've got Jack knows them.

Oh, my God. He's got two amazing country songs. Great. Let's do it. Okay. What are they called? I can't. I can't say.

You can't even say the title? No, because the tag is the title. Yeah, I get it. Sometimes that's very. I can't. What if you called it Becky? That sounds great. Becca and Jerry together as Becky.

Like B-E-C-K-I? I hate that so much. Becky. I hate the name Becky so much. what would what would okay no well i i hate to tell you jerry but the it's just gonna be we could be like bruno mars we're like i'm the thing but everyone that other guy that writes everything for him the other guy that's my job i'm the blurry guy well our whole our whole joke about jared is he's always been the blurry guy because nobody even knows who he is it's actually

the better way to live it's awesome like to me in maroon 5 james valentine is like the best part of that band because you're like only if you're a super fan do you really even know who that guy is i did i've loved him okay well you need to okay okay um jerry's in the room and we're just talking about your engagement so i'm gonna have you to simmer it down to that piece together i used to love james valentine i wish you're eating right but like you didn't really know anyway okay when we come back jerry's gonna fix your life god damn it you're listening to the lady gang we're back here's your questions for jerry those are um are these the coca-cola gummies gross they're so gross don't be mean to sasha she just got those for you this morning she likes them i know okay okay and

we're back okay we're answering or we're fixing girls lives oh cool are you ready to give some advice totally qualified let's do it ask the lady gang do you think we're qualified what about jack loving james valentine with you in the room he says we're calling jack's life yeah we did okay all right first question lady gang the jacktivities first question comes from audrey audrey says i've been married for a year now and we've been together for five years we don't have sex often and over the past few months we've been fighting and after every stupid fight he wants to have sex of course that's the last thing i want but he wants to jump right back in and will say things to me like quote this will help us let's smooth some things over sex will

get our mind off things usually i'm all about it but lately i'm feeling used my husband isn't affectionate towards me most of the time it's not just it's just not his personality and it's something i've learned to just accept so for only having sex after an argument and not being affectionate towards each other any other time i have to wonder am i being used or he does he just have a different way of making up oh my god listen to the nine inch nails the pain away oh my god how did you even make a reference that is just crazy that song audrey i know also you need to just start initiating sex when you're getting along and then like if you're only having it when you're mad at each other yeah it's we i mean as a man is that something that you think

about when you're when you make up is it yeah of course well makeup sex right yeah but like Make up sex. As a man. Probably something you just think about as a default setting. But if it's only that, it's probably bad. Yeah. I mean, men are, if you don't have sex for a while, men detach. Yeah.

That's like a very easy way to connect again. Yeah. And that's probably why he does it. It's very primal. So if you feel used, you need to just get with the program. This is just how men are wired. You've also been with him five years. well and also you're she's gonna start connotating sex to fighting arguments and fighting and then

it just is not fun anymore you should have sex with him after the argument so that he can just get relaxed and then after he has had his orgasm is when you're like can you touch my eyebrow and tell me i'm pretty your eyebrow like just eyebrow like no but you should probably communicate to him like listen i i enjoy having sex with you but like you know if you just want to have sex with after we're fighting and there's no intimacy any other time like i'm having a problem with that but say that after you have sex but also like you married a guy that's just no but men don't think after they have sex i know they don't think but they're not going to think before but they're definitely not the best time for us to come with you with a major issue oh my god before or after

sex after oh that actually i feel like your brain doesn't work after it doesn't work but that's the I would say before, but as a man, I don't know if this is all men, but my goal is to always try to fix everything. So I think the conversation would just drag on so long. Because you're a nine on the Enneagram. Jared would just want to talk about her feelings. Peacemaker. Yep. Yeah.

Sorry. So maybe after. Let's go with after. I would prefer after. No, you wouldn't. Jared doesn't know any ones. Jack, what does Jared want? I just think, like, men usually, after they orgasm, they're useless blobs for, like, an hour.

That's the perfect time for you to complain to them. I know, but they're not going to listen to what you're saying. No, they're not. But that's the perfect time to complain. Don't complain before. They'll be grateful for their... Sexual intercourse. Yeah.

And they'll be a little more receptive. I agree. Less combative. It's definitely less combative. And their second brain is drained. Drained. Honey. What's it called?

The vast avarice is empty. Okay. Aren't you glad we're out of the age where you don't have sex multiple times in a row? God. You guys, when Hannah was on The Bachelor or whatever, and it was the whole windmill situation, it was like four times. I was like, four times a month? That's crazy.

In one night? That's a UTI waiting to happen. She also is 24. I've never had sex four times in one night. I mean, in one night, not month. Oh, okay. They're young. Next question.

Oh, God. it comes from jojo my boyfriend and i have been dating for four years we've lived together for almost two and lately i've been a little anxious about taking the next step of engagement the main problem that i have is that he hardly ever wants to do anything he works eight to four every day and comes home and plays xbox with his idiot friends all night and on the weekends more xbox we go out on dates like every two months and my family invites us to things all the time but i always seem to be writing solo we get in arguments every time i ask him to go do something because he's convinced that gaming and doing other things is more important while i'm the type of person

that i like to explore i love him but i don't think i want to live my life like this help as a gamer jerry as a gamer jerry what's it like when jack wants to take you to um throw beanbags and holes when you just want a game that's a game that's a game it's a game i look at it like well okay so when i was younger that was like definitely an issue it was like a like early 20s like late teens you've loved a game oh it's so fun but life starts to happen a little bit if there's two people and they're going in two different different directions like that one just wants to play video games all day and the other doesn't want to do that yeah maybe find someone who wants to do that i think your love languages are not aligned i think that anybody who's gaming just doesn't

need their relationship like well if he is turning down real life things to game that's a problem okay well i will ask you this i turn down real life things all the time to just boo joe and be at my house yeah i don't think you should be in a relationship either like some people like but you found someone who also is like some people like jared was saying like you're out and you're on tour and you're always like talking to people and small talk

and in new places and there's just like a lot of sensory overload so when you have time off you just want to be like that's what this person's saying

when they have time off from their 8 to 4 job I don't think this guy has like a really stressful job is his job playing the game no

he works 8 to 4 8 to 4 which is not that long to be honest it's not that bad of a job it's just 9 to 5 but push down an hour oh yeah

working eight to four what a way to make a living you're just getting back okay what's the next question okay next question also the way that callie loves you you have you know what jared you have my permission yeah jack yeah i just gave you a callie likes you no the way you love my dog is the way you will not you will absentee father those children of jack's long distance fathers yeah gonna be a great absentee great deadbeat dad okay last questions from a uh rachel my fiance and i have been together for almost eight years we got engaged over a year and a half ago he's been in med school for a year and just started his second year our relationship is strong and i'm happy with him but i miss dating him he studies all the time and is busy like 8 a.m to

10 p.m busy i know he's busy chasing his dream but my question is how do i make dating a really how do i make dating a really busy guy work is it too much to ask for a date every week maybe every two weeks yes when's the last time you and chris went out on a date four years ago she's not the right person to ask she doesn't enjoy eating at restaurants okay kelty's not the person that's true he's in med school yeah give him a break and the second year of med school is allegedly the hardest one most stressful so yes ma'am rachel rachel whatever your name is i appreciate you wanting to keep the connection i do but you've been together a really long time um you can't just you know start complaining because you're like unhappy

in this little like blip on the radar well it's like you know what your fiance was going to do professionally and doctors have crazy schedules and that's just how it is and if even if it maybe you could compromise maybe it's not like a night out on the town and a dinner and whatever maybe it's like a day every two weeks that you have like you wake up early together and you go for a walk and drink coffee like you're missing the connection it doesn't require a date night to get that back unfortunately that's just like not what you're it's not fair to ask someone who's a second year med student for date nights i agree one of the executive producers and executives on lady gang tv told me the 100 rule is you only have 100 to give every day and it sounds like

at this point in this gentleman's life he's giving 90 to med school which he should and which he should it's gonna set you up for your life or else he's not gonna pass and then 10 to like eating staying alive breathing air you know and he just doesn't have 20 every two weeks for a date with you but it will come back around just think of yourself girl you're gonna be winter vacation at Turks and Caicos on that surgeon money. So just hang on. Hang on, girl. You need to find a hobby of your own.

You need to go into Turks. Get busy yourself. Ma, I have so many friends that married doctors and they got purses. Also, but also like depending on the type of doctor, this might be his life. I think med school is like way, way, way

worse. Intense. But like depending on what kind of field of medicine he goes in, this could be your situation so that's what i'm saying she knew what she signed up for crochet no way crochet i don't think she's gonna crochet no i think she's gonna go have a friend it's like pick up a hobby like you know there's so many or like dive into work you're having kids is great yeah get pregnant you don't really take your mind off the problems in your marriage having a few children i love that Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shit's bad. All right. Last thing for this episode of Lady Gang. Jack, I want you to profess your love to Jerry on the podcast. Oh, my God. Do some practice vows. Do practice vows. No.

Well, okay, okay. Just tell us what... Okay, I want you either... This is something that my therapist, me, Chris, and I do. Okay, I want you to look in each other's eyes. Your therapist is private. You don't have to do this, Jerry. No, Jerry does.

Okay, what's up? Okay, you're going to look at each other in the eyes, and you're going to say three things I love about you in a complete sentence. Okay. Jerry, I love this. That's what I have to say? And then you repeat it. Jack, thank you for loving my eyes.

I love your, and then you say it, and you have to repeat it back to them. We have to go back and forth three times? Yeah. Okay. Oh, boy. Oh, God, don't be so worried. Three things? Hold on, I just approved you.

Oh, God. Oh, God. He's got this. He's got this. Jack, you ready? Do I go first? Yeah. I just say something I love about him

you in a complete sentence like Jared I love that don't uncross your arms I don't like this body language she's making me uncomfortable how do you want me to sit in your lap like Callie sitting in Jared's

this has been very supportive she is supporting you okay Jared I love that you've loved me more and harder and deeper than anybody that i've ever met wow oh my god that was so good jacqueline thanks for saying that you loved that i've loved you that felt a little weird like that i gotta be honest what that's not a good way to word it well i thought it was beautiful what do i say i don't

think it's up for us to decide okay i was gonna keep mine simple i don't think you're going like super no okay don't judge her okay fine i'll do something that's okay no well it's just a little bit like narcissistic to be like i love that you love me so much like no he's like the way he loves you no he's such an emotional like emotionally open oh yes yes empathetic human yeah it was great no he's just a very very wonderful deep human being that's better yeah thank you okay and he loves really hard and i think that's are you gonna cry trying to make me it's not gonna happen yeah right do you cry a lot he cries no he's a musician only on airplanes when i'm watching movies for whatever reason that's the only time anyways all right my turn and when you're telling

me how okay stop okay jerry your turn okay jacqueline i love how nope look her in the eye don't look at the ceiling you whore oh god i'm a whore why you're so weird i don't know okay Jacqueline. I love how absolutely picky you are about every single thing in the world. Do you? I really do. You do? It gives me a clear idea of what you need.

Yeah. Okay. Both of these compliments have been weird backwards compliments. I'm having trouble. Why is that one backwards? Thank you for being so clear. For being so high-handed. So that I know how to love you.

I like it. Okay, Jack. That's fine, right? That's fine? Okay. No, it's your love. It's your relationship. I love your freckles.

Is that better? That's sweet. Wow. I love your face. Thanks, I hate it. Someone has to. Am I done? No, you have one more.

Jerry, thank you for loving my face. I love your... Jerry, thank you for loving my face. I hate that we're in a therapy right now. His name is Jared. Jared. There you go. I'm going to be crucified for any comment that I make now.

No, you're not. Well, only if it's I love how much you think I'm amazing. That's not what I meant. Says you. Okay, Jared, I love that you are so communicative with your feelings and you know exactly how to explain verbally how you feel. Yay. With your arms crossed, though. Men can't do that.

Yeah, no, it is amazing. Men can't do that at all. She kind of did that, though. I know. She's, like, angry. No, I'm angry at Kelty for making me uncomfortable. okay it's fine she normally is this is like pretty much how it goes down next Jacqueline I love how close you are with your family oh I think it's a really good sign and you guys are

a lot alike and you get along great and I think that yeah that's that's a really good sign that's very nice okay now the last thing we'll have you do in therapy is your wish for this next year together Jacqueline you'll be first Jared my wish for this year is that we don't cross your arms you make me so uncomfortable you need a dog I do oh my wish for this year is that we can just take the next step in life and you can move here and we can see each other more. So brave. So brave.

That was mine. Well, that's good. You guys should be on the same page. What's yours? I want to come to L.A. That's the next step for me. When is that happening? Do you have a date?

As soon as I'm not so busy. Okay. And then also, are you going to be friends with our husbands? Chris needs friends. He has none. This is bullshit because Kelty's not social.

I'm not asking him to be friends with me. Oh, we want to send the men together. Yeah, the men together. Let's hang out, and then we just hang out. Just the men. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's a bummer, because Jack and I like our husbands and, like, hanging out with them.

Oh, you guys can hang out. Or our significant others. I'll just send Chris along. So it's going to be awkward when it's Chris as the fifth wheel. Us five. Two. Your home boot. FaceTime me for five minutes.

It's Becca, Zach, me, Jared, and Chris. And Chris. And Callie. All right. Well, we know you love Chris. I do love Chris so much. Okay. He is good.
