And most recently, I noticed in the homes of my family members, my sister had a fun pizza Friday at her house the other night. We were all there hanging out with the nieces, the nephews, the neighbors, everybody. And she brought out her Chinette plates. That's right,

because they are the Chinette classic plates that are durable, no bends or leaks, microwave safe, made with at least 80% recycled materials and made in the US. But Chinette does it all. They do their fancy Chinette crystal, which is an elegant look that guests aren't afraid to touch because they do not shatter. They have a unique swirl design and we love them so much. And the Chinette comfort built-in sleeve that keeps drinks hot and hands happy. We love this brand so much. They can make the holidays so much easier with an easy cleanup, and they're perfect for all of life's get-togethers. And they are, like I said, made with at least 80% recycled materials, which is a game changer, durable enough to handle the sauciest ribs, or in our case, the hottest,

greasiest pizza for kids and adults. So visit MyChinette.com to find out more. Close to our heart is the belief that ladies give back and show up for others.

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Lady Gang. I am Becca Tobin here with Jackie Kelty. It's a quickie. Hello, everyone. I'm so excited to be here this week because it's the festive season, which is my favorite season of the year. And I was recently with Hannah Lux Davis,

the director, and she was on our podcast when we used to record together. So it was many years ago. And she said the nicest thing to me about our podcast. She said, um, she'd listened to the Chelsea Handler episode. And then she goes, you know, I actually do. I manifest each year with your manifest episodes at the end of December. Oh, that's hilarious. He was like, I go through it and like you do all the categories. And like, I think it's like one of the greatest episodes of the year. So I thought that was really nice. And so we're coming into the holidays and I'm just excited about the holidays this year wait can we talk about her really quick because it is phenomenal the music video like she is literally doing every single per every single massive pop

stars music videos and they're all incredible like she should have been on like making what was it making the video yeah like if they did that these days she would literally be on every single one of them yeah because she's doing everybody and all they're all amazing it's like David LaChapelle kind of vibes. I love it. Well, it's interesting. We were sitting, we had lunch actually, which was cool. She's, she's so funny. Ever since she was on the podcast, she keeps texting me and she's like, do you think we could be friends in real life? And I was like, that's my line. But also like, I don't make friends with people. So like, I haven't seen her in two years. Like she's been asking to be my friend for so long. And finally I was like, you

know what? I'll be your friend. So we went to lunch and it was really, yeah, swear to God. And now we text each other a little bit. Like we're going to be friends, I think. But it was funny i was like oh my god you're like crushing it blah blah and she goes no i'm not and i was like what and she goes no i'm sitting here like at lunch with you worried like am i ever gonna work again and i was like god it is just brutal out there yeah and the words of olivia rodrigo i mean what are the words god it's brutal out here i don't think i've ever heard one of her songs i don't i don't know those lyrics but i'm serious um so she was like unsure too about her life you know i feel like olivia rodrigo is like my ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend because of clay

i'm very hurt that i shouldn't be because it's not like you know i'm not keeping him busy no um but it's it's like when your ex gets a hotter girlfriend and you're just like i'm happy for you but I'm also just sad for me. Yeah. Just jet setting with clay who used to be ours. Brutal out there. No, it's true. If you're in the entertainment industry, you know, a friend of mine shares a manager with an A-list Academy award-winning actress. Like she's, I mean, you can't get more famous. And my friend was kind of going through a dry slump, a dry spell slump situation and said to her manager, I just feel like I'm never going to work again. And when does this feeling end? Cause she's also very successful. He goes,

I hate to tell you this, but it never ends. So-and-so fill in a list actress name calls me every couple months saying it's over for me. The ride's over. I should just get off. It's over. It's over. And he's like, that is every single gang person in this business. So that's both uplifting and discouraging all at once. But you know what the key is, I think, and this is what I feel like for myself, I figured out is nobody cares about you at all. The way that you think your ride is over, nobody else is thinking your ride is over. And the way that you think you're back on the ride, no one else is thinking about you being back on the ride at all. So you're the only person who's really that concerned with the trajectory of your career,

which is both like, again, discouraging and encouraging because no one's thinking about you all that much. So if you're happy and you're good in your life and you're feeling like, I could use a break. I'm not going to, I'm not going to fantasize that everybody's planning my demise around me. Cause really nobody's planning anything for me. And that's okay. Nobody is thinking about anybody else ever. No, just themselves. everybody's heads are so far up their own asses yeah i was just thinking if i was like a fucking a-list celebrity and i had done all of these really successful things like people couldn't just be cool not working for a bit and living off their money for the rest of their lives like

delightful the problem is this is that people who do that they are used to having this mountain to climb. Like that is their, their, who they are to their core is someone who needs to be creative, work their ass off, feel desperate, feel sad, the high highs, the low lows, like you're addicted to this thing for better or worse. So you're not the person who can go and just chill out and be with your money. Most of the time you need something, which I think is why people like Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Alba have created these amazing brands because they've just taken all that passion they had for the entertainment industry and thrown it into something that isn't the entertainment. It's not as fickle as the entertainment industry where it's like,

if you work hard, you can create something that can be great. Yeah. For the most part. So I just think it's, they're just not built that way. And also just to be a woman and this person's a woman and she is very beautiful, but it doesn't matter as you get older, it's just, you're not the most beautiful person in the room anymore it doesn't matter who you are and that's an identity thing that's hard to shake too is really hard to shake yeah woof woof um well today's quickie i have found something very special on the internet so if you uh if you subscribe to our newsletter which you should uh every tuesday you get a little bit of beauty in your inbox and i like to look on the internet and find old videos of all of us and just add them at the bottom just as a little gift

I once put my bachelor exit. This last week I did a video of Jack Vanek being interviewed on the Warped Tour. She had orange hair. Yes. Just incredible. And I found an article, Jack, that I wanted to ask you about. So I think this will be great. We have one scene queen and one girl that was like in a bodysuit in New York City, completely. You've never been to a Warped Tour, right, Becca? No, no, no, no, no. So I found an article called 13 fashion trends that dominated Warped Tour 10 years ago that are back in style. Like this is a recent article. Yeah. This is an article where like everything's coming back around. Right. So I'm going to have you describe the look and then I'm going to have Becca let us know if she thinks this could be back in fashion.

Yeah, totally. Okay. So the first number one is glamour kills, which I don't know what that is. Oh my God. Glamour Kills was my arch nemesis on the Warped Tour. They were another brand that was making really ugly graphic tees. They had flying pigs on them for the most part. And they were doing the same thing as me where they're just like gifting them to every single band on the entire tour. So all of their fans would like want to buy the t-shirts. I'm pretty sure they're defunct and like not existing, but maybe just like the idea of these flashy neon graphic tees are back in style becca flashy neon graphic tee um like would i wear it is it what do you like what's the question well there isn't a question just like yes or no i'm gonna say no okay um

to write love on our arms logo tees to write love on our arms was like this it was like a suicide prevention uh non-profit which i also don't know if they're around anymore i think jamie the guy left i think it's around but he's not the face of it anymore oh um yeah their graphic t-shirts they were like there were like a few different brands back in the day that were you had to have a t-shirt of one of them to be cool and that one actually had like a good meaning message yeah charity t-shirts becca going with it hey studded studded belts oh no this is the thing it's like now this whole scene fashion is coming back around with the y2k fashion yeah and i'm i'm i'm not not here for it i had a bcbg studded belt that i wore so much it was a probably bg studded belt oh yeah

i was like the regular atlanta mall girl studded belt it wasn't like the same thing as like a hot top extended belt? No, it was elevated. Okay. It was not, it was, I mean, I bet you I could find one on Poshmark right now. Um, I wore that thing. I'll never forget. It was 2009 Katie Weber. She was on our podcast and we just talked about her hot body. She and I were in rock of ages together. And I think we went out for her birthday one year and I wore a purple one shouldered, but the other side was a long sleeve. And it was like purple meets Royal blue, mini, mini dress. And I wore that.

Wait, was this like an American apparel one? No, it was, it was probably from like intermix or something. Cause at that time in my life, when I was working on, on Broadway, I was making enough money to like get nice things. not like crazy, but the occasional intermix, whatever. Um, I'm sure it was on sale at intermix. And then I wore this BCBG belts over top of it. And I remember you, we all have those nights where you felt like the hotter version of yourself. Yes. That was one of the nights for me. And I was in a studded belt. So bring it on. I like the studded belts. I don't mind a studded

belt i have a night like here it is on poshmark how much i knew it twenty dollars wait oh so elevated oh yes it has like different okay it's like a mixed metal there we go oh different sizes of studs you're like elevated feeling yeah wow that's very goth for bcbg well they just wanted it was so close you know it was also the time where they were because of um sarah jessica parker in the sex in the city 2 movie she wears like this big wool jacket and that almost that exact belt over the jacket and i'm pretty sure that's why bcbg made that belt oh it wasn't because jack ward on the warp tour well it could have been could have been too yeah i have a um a night out a New York outfit that really springs to mind. It was a blue satin, Betsy Johnson. I wish I had

that dress, uh, satin polka dot black and teal blue polka dot dress with a big puffy sleeve. And I wore it with a side low bun, a side swept bang, a hot pink lip and my big nerd glasses. oh my wow that is a look and i think the first time i got lip injections so i had a big and lip too oh wow that what year was this i know i don't know like 2008 a lip injection you've been getting lip filler for 12 years have they been doing lip filler i'm an early adopter bitches so wait that's crazy i don't even think i knew it existed until like six years ago wow live your life next scale animals what the fuck is a scale animal uh there are like these really animals they're like these stupid stuffed animals that had

skeletons on the outside okay um i'm gonna say no on that sounds terrible uh neon anything yeah so everybody wore neon back in the day like jared's band was considered a neon band what do you mean a neon band because they all wore a bunch of neon shit like when i knew jared back in the day he was always wearing like bright green neon sunglasses gross that sounds like a wedding band it was a neon band it was really i mean it was horrible the guy, the kid that I lost my virginity to, he was also in a neon band. They, they all just wore like bright pink, bright purple neon, like shorts and shorts and everything was not matching. And it was, it was just a really bad time. Oh, wow. Straightened hair. I saw a video of a makeup

artist that I follow who's she's so good. And then she just did a real straightening her hair with a flat iron. And I was like, please, Jesus, I know it's coming, but I don't want it to the stick straight. No flat iron hair. I know it's coming. And I'm so upset. Cause I remember when I would do it to myself in middle school and my mom would say to me, I used to do this in high school and I would use an ironing board and an iron. So I'm so nervous. I don't want it to come back at all. And I need a lot of hair around my skull. Like, honestly, I was just peeing this morning. And I was like, God, I can't believe people put me on TV for so many years, this face with barely any hair. I need a lot of hair. I'm better with hair. Like I need a big hair. Cause

I need it to cover some of my face. A little bit of my face needs to be covered. And then also like people like me with thin hair, like a flat, a flat thin hair is not the best look in the entire world. Nope. So I I'm with you. I hope that doesn't come back. It's very funny. So I need extensions. When Jack and I were at fashion week, everything was neon and I did an obey class. Like I went in the box or whatever, and I didn't obey class and it was right after fashion week. So they were like, well, what trends did you see at fashion? I'm like, well, I went to two shows and you know, I wasn't at the Balenciaga show, but anyway, so I was kind of making shit up, but I was like, here's the thing, everyone doing obey right now while we're working out. I was like,

the world is going to tell you that you need to wear neon green. And we've known this is coming because Hilda at Reunited was like, neon green is going to be a huge trend for this fall. And I want everyone to know that you don't have to buy neon green. Neon green looks good on no one. It's not a good color. Don't get sucked into like,

every store is going to have neon and you're going to feel like you need to get neon. And literally the next day was like the Emmys and Kaley Cuoco wore a neon green dress. Oh my God. And I was like, it's not a good color for people. I thought she looked good though. She looked amazing.

And the dress was super gorgeous. And I was like, oh, maybe I was wrong. Well, no, it's good on her. That's it. It's also good when you have a full team doing your hair and makeup. Well, and if it's like an expensive neon green thing, there's a difference. Like I saw a pair of like, uh, like a knee high healed neon green. I think it was like Paris, Texas brand or whatever it is. Yeah. Those boots. I'm like, those are awesome, but they're like a thousand dollars. Yeah. You can't buy a cheap neon green anything.

back when can the next generation put their eyebrows well we're because we have microblading so we we won't be able to i remember i might have told you this story but i'm gonna go for it i remember in elementary school, I wanted to extreme side part my hair so much that I wanted to part it above my ear and have it completely comb over. Yeah. That was a comb over, but like, I just wanted a really extreme side part because you know, you did the big bang. And so I could get the most bang if I like started my part above my ear, I'm going to do a little bit here. And so I could like, you know, I could do it like all this and my mom wouldn't let me. And then this is the part I think I've told before, but my dad got, we used to shop at Costco. Obviously I still do

shop at Costco. It's fucking amazing. But he got like a giant tub of green aloe vera and put it in the bathroom and he thought it was hair gel and I thought it was hair gel. So for months I was like Costco-ing a big dollop of aloe vera and putting in my hair to get my bangs to stay up, but it was aloe vera no my hair would just be like greasy and shitty all the time and finally someone read the label it was aloe vera thanks that's amazing and i don't think you've ever told that before but i love that yeah both your dad and you got fooled by the aloe vera it looks the same in the 90s like hair gel was all those weird colors like they didn't want it clear you wanted a big see-through tub of pink gel for your head those were the days i am so glad that my parents

didn't take any photos of me growing up like they did not document my life thank you for not caring thank you so much for being you know it's i've spent a lot of time in therapy about it but thank you for not being interested in anything i was doing at all at least you don't have an embarrassing photo floating around i have nothing like i don't think i like that i have no photos really i mean I have some but the memory of something to me is so much better than the reality of it so I don't want to see pictures of myself on spring break sophomore year because in my mind I was Heidi Klum I don't want to go back now and see the reality that I know is that I was not yeah live in your delusions I want memory I want to live in that because you know what I peaked and quite

frankly, if I find out that I wasn't Heidi Klum on that spring break, it's just going to shake my whole sense of self. I have a question for you. Did you guys go through, um, speaking of fashion, did you go through scub this time of scrubs? Like when everyone wore scrubs as outfits? I don't think that happened where I was. I did have a pair of scrub pants that I wore sometimes, but I think it was like trying to hide my body. Not cause it was like a fashionable thing. oh did you wear like a full-on scrub outfit we wore scrub pants or scrub tops and i mean into the early 2000s like i can remember i dated a guy in new york when i lived in the flight attendant crash pad who was in a band shocker uh they used to have like a residency at like a pub on long

island it was not a huge band um drive from long island to queens and like i think his day job was doing something in a hospital, possibly administrative work. And he brought me a pair of scrubs and I was like really excited about it. But that doesn't really seem like a fashion trend. That seems like something that you just did personally by yourself. No, no, no. But in high school, like all the boys wore scrubs. The boys wore scrubs? Boys and girls. Yeah. Scrub pants. Cause I think I do remember this, but I think that we wore them. Not we, I remember my best friend having them and sleeping in them, like lounging in them. Yeah. Like when we went on the ski trips like everyone would be in the hotel and you'd be like in a t-shirt and your scrub

pants like drinking bad shit mix vodka at like four in the morning and like making out or fighting with someone like you were either making out or you're having a fight with your best friend like that was all that happened on ski trips very little skiing oh yeah i can't believe my parents let me go on a fucking mixed gender ski trip when i was 14 years old overnight oh my god at a hotel well the thing is is that it was just really fun because we didn't have the internet and so like you would go and you'd be an absolute disaster and there was no photos of you there's no photos of me holding up his head as she puked in the bathroom wearing her scrub pants the 900th malibu and rum that we made of the night you know what i mean god yeah i thought drinking orange

juice and rum was going to be the best thing for your tummy not us like have some acidic alcohol drink good luck oh yeah no drinks we made back then were great and then we we drank malibu rum and orange juice or we drank milkshakes which was like how do you even get drunk you can't get drunk on malibu um mudslides i'm sorry mudslides okay so it's like what what's in there like milkshake milk and then like some sort of liqueur i had a i was definitely drinking captain morgan and dr pepper or vodka and Gatorade. A Southern comfort situation. I was the same kind of drinker I am now where I really don't go out of my way to make sure it's like what I want. It's just what there is. I mean, obviously now it's nicer stuff, but I'm like, yeah, sure. I'll do that. Yeah,

sure. Whatever. Wow. I love that. In high school, I was a very flexible drinker. Okay. She's flexible. You know what? Biggers can't be choosers back in, back in high school. It's like, you got to take what's in front of you it's true which is probably vanilla smeared off you know oh disgusting all right well anyway this was fun jack let us know uh when you got those bracelets for us okay um lady gang help thanks for being a part of our crew and we weren't here for a long time but we're here for a emo time emo time thanks for listening the lady gang is produced by alex ingber steve delameter and jared monaco make sure you subscribe rate and review our podcast and if you love it share it with your friends on social media like oh my god i just listened lady gang
