just eat cottage cheese um why like why is that why not a stick of celery i don't know it was like cottage cheese and french onion soup and then that was it like the fattiest foods of all time Maybe because you're trying to get filled up. Yeah. I think also when you do like low carb diets, cottage cheese, they tell you, you can eat. Maybe that was it when I was doing like the Atkins or something like that. It just reminded me of that. But this brand I get at Whole Foods, it's good culture.

This is not mad, you guys, but it is like really delicious. And I'm not a huge cottage cheese person. I don't think anyone is. I don't think when you're like, what's your favorite food? Cottage cheese. No, cottage cheese is delicious. I want a protein. it's very underrated it's quite delicious and you throw some like peaches or something in there and

then it is fantastic great cooking with jack yeah a new jack that's as far as i go of cottage cheese well guys i have so much to tell you um we are in dad gang land here at lady gang and i know that everyone was so excited for my dad to come to la so we could do fixer-upper projects but we have been sideswiped by a visit to urgent care, infection, ice buckets, and we haven't been able to do anything. So this is my life. So dad gets here and we had two really good days of projects. We built the Murphy bed here. It looks great. It's beautiful. I'm so happy. We did a bunch of the projects that were on my list. It's been great. And then he woke up. So then, um, my house is on a hill and the front yard leads to the street. And there's a very

rickety staircase that goes up this hill to the power box. And as you know, for the last five and a half weeks, my air conditioning has been broken. Chris Knight has been pretty much useless in getting it fixed, even though it was his one job, he's been helping other people pay their bills, but not paying our bills. You know what I mean? Um, my number one gripe with Chris. So it's like last on his list to get it fixed i'm like well it's hot so um we're gonna need to get this fixed so my dad's starting to look at it and we go up uh the rickety stairs to look at the power box and this is also where i recently had poison oak which is like poison ivy it's like you know when you see three leaves there's something let three leaves let it be or whatever anyway so we go up

there we look and as we're coming down the janky wooden staircase my dad trips oh no just a little trip i mean he's 72 years old he's still pretty mobile i mean less mobile for sure like which has been weird like covid is such a trip because two years of our parents lives went by and it's like i didn't see my parents for two years and to see them age two years in their 70s is like 10 years it's like crazy i'm like when did you get old like you were young the last time i saw you it's such a trip anyway don't want to make myself cry but anyway he had a little trip um and then we kept working and whatever the next day we wake up the foot is massive i'm like you have broken your foot did he roll his ankle or what did he do his ankle it's massive purple and then

i'm convinced he's got poison oak like it's all over his foot and i was like oh my god you got poison oak so then our solar guy comes out because he's like sorry i'm gonna try to not make this boring. The solar guy comes out and he, I'm trying so hard to pay attention. Okay. Okay. Sorry. Anyway, the solar guy came and he was like, one of my guys that was working on your house had to call out for five days because he had such bad poison Oak from your staircase, your yard. So I was like, okay, dad has poison Oak. So then I get Instacart like $200 worth of every poison Oak treatment that could come from CBS. We're ice bathing. We're whatever he wakes up. I'm like, we're got to go to urgent care. We go to urgent care. And they're like, we don't know what's

wrong with you, but whatever you do, don't take steroids because steroids is going to blow it up. So put this cream on it and then do not take, like, I was like, can we get a steroid to like help him? Whatever. No. So tomorrow we have to go for a x-ray. But then last night, here's where it comes into the story. Last night, dad's in a lot of pain. He's not good. He's not able to work. He's very frustrated. And he brings out this medical box. Does anyone else do this? Where he just has all these old pills, all the old pills that he's collected on his lifetime. And he's like, look this up for me, babe. It's a CO6 or something. And I look it up and I'm like, it's for, it's an anti-inflammatory. He's like, great. And he pops it in his mouth and takes it.

And I'm like, okay, wake up this morning. The foot is this big. No, even because it was a goddamn steroid, which the doctor was like, do not mix no steroid cream. Don't take a steroid. So we're idiots. Um, and none of my projects are getting done, which is the real truth of the story and i don't want my parents to get old and that's it so you're not supposed to do a steroid for what poison oak you're not supposed to do a steroid for any type of like fungus yeah like oak poison ivy poison oak because it's all like oils and fungus growing on your skin that you have to like try to get it rid of yeah so is he just like sitting in the other room while you podcast with like no you guys this is the worst part he won't stop so right now he's taking doors off and

painting doors but he's like hobbling around his foot is purple and massive and every like i just was like going upstairs because i'm like have you iced today like now i'm just doing the nurse thing again this year is the year of me nursing my family i'm like what the hell dad is supposed to be the one that comes and helps me and now i'm like making the ice baths that is such a dad thing just to not stop he just doesn't stop this morning so funny before we started podcasting he was like I got it. I need some tools and needs the supplies. He made me, I got up at seven 30 in the morning. We had to go down to Ace Hardware. We're there at seven 45 waiting for the doors to open. So he could get the screw driver that he wants is such a dad thing, but he can't even wear

shoes. So he's just wearing slippers and he's falling apart at the seams and jorts and his slippers. And I was like, he gives no, he's like, where's the Will Phillips screwdriver? Like whatever. Anyway, he is amazing. The amount of shit he's been able to do. We took out all those old janky cat doors that the spiders were coming through and he like filled them he's amazing he really is so handy uh journey sorry this was such a story but then i'll tell you one more story about chris knight so yesterday we're trying to fix things and like you know chris is like the worst i think he's the least handy man of all time so my dad like he really wants a son-in-law right like i think he really wants he wants a zach he wants a zach that's gonna be like

yeah let's get the saws dad and so he's like bring me the 9 16th like the the wrench or whatever anyway i'm so boring anyway chris couldn't get the right wrench so i had to like just get in there and start wrenching and chris is just sitting there looking like scrolling on instagram anyway i like chris doesn't care though he's not like embarrassed that he doesn't know how to fix no no he's like he's like i have the money to hire somebody to fix him for me well he just like he tries like to he's trying to undo the bolts and i was like oh my god we're gonna be here all day limp wrist collector like i was like okay limp wrist stop it right now it's like let me try and then i'm like and i'm like in there and i'm sweaty and i'm like got my shoes on like chris is

like chris is someone like we're up the side of the hill like we're moving these air conditioning and these old and he's like wearing a flip-flop and i'm like you don't wear flip-flop to do housework you gotta have a sneaker like chris knight does that's right we're like yesterday he was we're like throwing like all this old junk that was on the house i'm like just throw it down the hill and he said we can't throw it down the hill i'm like just throw it down the hill and then i took the car and i put in the back and then i drove around town until i found someone that had dumpster and i legally threw my shit in their dumpster on a sunday i thought i was gonna get caught i didn't wow thrilling life of kelty night heard it here first

i know i'm so boring but these are the things that have been keeping me going because my mom was so mad that we weren't allowing her to come. I was like, you can't come. The house is not ready for an elder. Cause I don't even have a banister on my stairs. And dad's like, it's not safe here. And I was like, you're the one that fell down the stairs and got a flame. I also think it is, it's safe there. I mean, it's like, I don't know why you didn't let your mom come. It's not like your house is like under construction and you have, um, asbestos like popping out of the walls. I know. You know, I don't know why. I felt like it was too many people in the house at this momento. Okay. Anyway, what's up with you guys? How are your dads? My dad's great. My dad doesn't

actually, he has no shame in getting an ailment and stopping everything. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. If his back hurts, he's like, nope, I'm just going to take it easy. But he's like the most fit person ever and like most energetic person ever. So I love it. I will say right now I'm on a mission. So formula one does a race every year in Austin. It's like a big to do. So the formula one races, that's like Lewis Hamilton. For those of you guys who don't know the whole thing, it's like the big, big, big, big races. And every year there's several in different countries. And the only, I believe the only American formula one happens in Austin and it's happening at the end of this month. And my dad is the biggest enthusiast ever. Like every weekend

he goes and he races cars. So that's his, like his passion of all passions. That's his Superbowl, if you will. So I have been shamelessly whoring myself out all over emails, publicists, all of it. I'm like, can you please get me some kind of like hookup for a formula one race in Austin? There are so many things happening and there are so many people getting invited, but these people are so much more famous than I am. But it's like, come hang out with Lewis Hamilton before the race and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But like people getting invited to that are actual celebrities. Anyways, I just know that people are getting invited to things and I have yet to be invited to anything. And so I have been, I have not tried to get into anything this hard in my life. I feel

like a 22 year old trying to get into Coachella in 2005. Like that is what I feel like. And it is, I'm like, I'll post, I'll do anything. I'll, I'll post, I'll do a real, I'll get back on TikTok. If you just give me a freaking hookup. Cause that's all my dad has ever asked me for in my whole life. So wish me luck. Was this what the call was with Ricky about TikTok the other day? No, that was a whole nother call. Cause apparently now you do these like brand partnership deals. They really want you to be on Tik TOK. So, you know, I, I've started posting on Tik TOK again, just a few, a few posts, few random things. And you know what the dumber your shit is, the more views you get, you remember when you got like a million hits on you drawing an S

yes. And I learned every choreography that JLo did in the last 20 years and couldn't get anyone to watch it. Well, Ricky did say that the dancing does not do as well. It's like dancing's over on TikTok. There's so much. And you know, I, I have a newfound light love for TikTok because you can find anything on there and it's like not bullshitty like Instagram. Like you could really, I'm down like a squid game theory, TikTok hole. Like there's everything on there that you could ever want. Yeah. I like the life hacks on TikTok life hacks. Yeah. Like how to fold a bag of chips that won't go stale without a chip clip. I mean, come on. And you know what? I bet that has like 5 million views on it and it does i i need to go find today how to fold a fitted sheet i think

that's what i'm going to do today becca i have a question about you did you not send lewis hamilton your new york times article about being like part of the famo trio that went to austin i don't think lewis hamilton gives a about anyone living in austin no just coming here to do a race oh but what about the people that have the race that they don't want the new york times famous movers from LA? Uh, I, I highly doubt it. I don't think so. I think this is what's going to happen. I'm going to manifest this. Okay. I think like everything else, it's going to be a last minute thing because enough famous people are going to say, no, thank you. Correct. So, you know, here we are, we're in what month are we in, in October. So we're like in week three of October right now.

and oh shit it's next weekend you're you know what you're just gonna have to be ready you have your outfit ready to go like get ready for that last minute call I just need it to be enough time to get my dad to fly to Austin to do whatever we're doing but I again I don't think the good news is this happens every year and I'm gonna be living in Austin for now until whenever and I think if it's not this year I believe in myself that I'll be important enough or relevant enough by next year to get in. But I'm really, you know, it's just, it's hard. It's hard to just want something so bad. I finally understand everyone who wanted to go to Coachella all those years. Sure. I understand. It's a defining moment. When we come back, I have

realized something about our lives that I need to discuss. This podcast is sponsored by Better Help. Is there something interfering with your happiness or preventing you from achieving your goals.

How's your dad? He crushed pumpkin carving this week. Yeah. So, um, well, Jared's

been gone for like two and a half months and he finally came back. So we went and hung out with my parents. We do first thing we had to do. And, um, I'm like such a sucker for like festivities for all of the holidays. So I'm like, we have to carve pumpkins. I wanted to go to pumpkin city, which is where I got pumpkins as a kid, but we went there and I'm like, this is actually kind of creepy because we're just a bunch of adults and everybody else has kids i feel like an adult going to disneyland like without a child so we bought little pumpkins from whole foods and my no no no no no no what you bought a whole foods pumpkin we are hard well no and double the money for an organic pumpkin when you could have gotten one from ralph's well here's the thing i thought

that they were overpriced. We bought them anyways. I looked at Ralph's and they're the same price. So there is definitely like a pumpkin surge of prices. And I was already just shopping there. Anyways, we got these little pumpkins. My dad is like a fantastic artist for anybody out there that doesn't know, like he's incredible. So we start to carve our pumpkins. Jared does like a classic, classic pumpkin carving. I do this like really cute one that looks like it should be a little cartoon my dad's is like so intricate wait can we mention maze first my mom saw my dad is an incredible artist and my mom literally like doesn't know how to hold a pen it's what i would have done it was like a square and a triangle next to each other well it was supposed to be

the squid game uh shapes for whatever the squid game like business cards and it's a triangle a square and then a circle. I drew it out for her. I'm like, just do it. She like has this massive knife that she's like shoving in the pumpkin. I'm like, you're going to slice your hand off, but like, whatever. She gets through the triangle and the square. And then she's like, I give up. I'm not doing the circle. It's too hard. And then she just leaves it. And it looks like garbage. And then I don't know if you guys can see it, but I have, I brought my three pumpkins home of my dad, Jared's and mine. And I'm like, mom, nope gotta leave yours at home your dad's is amazing i mean he's incredible he did the thing

where he carved like halfway through the pumpkin so it like shows up as a shadow when you light it up like my dad is next level what was the technique draw on and then carve or just freehand he no you draw it on and then you carve but you can like cut halfway through some of the pumpkin to give it dimension and give it like a nice spooky shadow so and he did is in the same time as my mom did her triangle so it had a tim burton vibe his did very tim burton really spooky and like the pumpkin has this like really like angry expression on it and shit so my dad's the best um jack and jerry are you planning a costume well he's gonna be writing a new hit single over halloween so uh but so you want to do a couple's couple with costume with me it's just just me and

you you don't want to be prepared to be alone by 7 p.m so then it won't make sense if you're not with her you know yeah totally when she bails on you i hate halloween um okay i have a question about um oh can i can i bring up a question yeah sure so it's about the baxter boys okay okay i had written my notes i had a major revelation this week okay major so you know jack and i when aj was on the show we had like an aj moment now as a child i was a brian then i had an aj moment where i was really into aj and then he went on dancing with the stars and it really dapped my vagina was he not good he's terrible he wasn't he like wasn't even close to like Backstreet Boy AJ like I don't know if you should be talking about this in this way he's

never gonna invite us to another show ever again be careful with your words no he knows like there was just something about the like class but he was a classically trained dancer there was just something about it he got really in his head and he he explained it he got in his head and because I think everyone thought he was going to be so good. And anyway, so it kind of messed it up. He didn't make it super, super far. He made it like respectfully far. But then ever since then, I've been like, am I an AJ girl? You know what I mean? I don't know. Oh, wow. I recently realized something that we all missed out. You guys, Howie. Yes. No, Howie has. I thought you were for sure going to go to kevin no no howie aged the best he looks like a stick of butter

he's crazy aging great what does that mean stick of butter like no i feel like that's bad he's not old and wrinkly he's beautiful and like plump like plump face no crow's feet he's got his full head of hair. Crazy nice. Did you, did you talk to him recently? He was really remember when we went to the show in Vegas, he was the only other one other than AJ that stopped by to be like, Hey guys, welcome to the show. Did you talk to him recently? Like that spawned this appreciation that he's really nice. No, he just is nice. We know he's nice. That's a fact. Oh, okay. And I think this whole time you were like, why is Howie a Backstreet Boy? Like there's no, Howie was like the Chris Kirkpatrick of NSYNC. Like no one was like, I'm going to buy the Howie doll. Do you

know what I mean? Well, they also never let him sing. So you don't even know what his voice sounds like. Then there was the show. This is pop on Netflix. I think I was watching and it talked about that. And then you got to hear how we really wail and he has a great voice. So I just think that we've made a major error and i'm gonna be justice for howie is how i feel about it it's the year of howie do you think maybe it just it's just over maybe like we could find other people to find attractive or does it just have to be of this five of men duo from the early 2000s i think you always have to have your favorite yeah you know when backstreet boys comes up and you know the first thing that pops in your head i'm sorry but if we're gonna do this the real true who should be

your husband of all those people is nick lachey he stayed hot he's a bro he's just still a bro you know that guy will be able to fix your things without flip-flops he's putting up his he could use a wrench shelves he's putting up your shelves for sure he's not a chris knight he's the opposite it yeah you know that that's he don't sleep on nick lachey there was a rumor going around when i was in high school that drew lachey lived in our neighborhood and i went to his house we like knocked like rang the doorbell and it wasn't his house feasible you were in orange county i mean not he did live around there but the house that we went to was not his that's incredible yeah wow like is drew home is drew home sure let me get him yeah here you can

pick anyway dad gang howie it's very important i just we just had a little check-in today i'm excited uh i have more stories to tell about my bad home renovations next week actually just speaking of male singers i've lost it completely for sean mendez how about you guys i mean lost it in a bad way gone it's gone gone ever since the documentary and then ever since it all just took a freaking landslide but harry styles is just couldn't be hotter guys i i'm not a harry styles girl oh you are insane you need to go watch him right now he's on tour isn't he on tour i just keep seeing videos of them performing yeah just it's so sexual it's so sexual the high pants the outfits it's so cute i love this thing i think i think the problem is is that and i mean
