means it's going to be awesome.
Podcast One presents the Lady Gang, the Hollywood girl posse with Lady Gang Quickie.
Here's Kelty Knight, Becca Tobin, and Jack Vanek.
Let's make this quick.
Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the Lady Gang Quickie.
I'm Becca Tobin here with Kelty Knight and Jack Vanek.
I've eaten so many gummy bears
I don't even like them
and they're just in front of me all the time
and those jelly beans are stale
stale AF baby
but we're still eating them and people are still going to complain
that we're eating
your hair is amazing Jack
I love when you guys compliment me
when I just get ready
like I just take a shower
or put on mascara
what I love the most about it
come close
your hair color is amazing
but also should i keep my hair this color for the show yeah yeah um is that the front piece is like
as long it's like all one length you don't really have a layer i mean no you don't and so that front
curl is like right in your face and it's like perfectly like oh my god this is the best day
of my life it's just beautiful it really accentuates your eyes being the perfect shape
oliver hudson also that was jonathan oh john right um can we get an update on josh
I will tell you guys about that later.
Oh, shit.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
So we're not going to a wedding.
Okay.
We thought we were going to be in...
Oh, no.
It's not bad.
We thought we were going to be in Oliver Hudson's circle, but I guess we're not.
Darn it.
We definitely could be.
Oh, he's obsessed with you, obviously.
Okay.
Inspirational quote.
Are you guys ready?
Yeah.
This one's really nice.
I hope you enjoy it.
Just like you enjoy my inspirational quote every morning on my Instagram, at Kelty.
Here we go.
But there was a good one that I liked a couple days ago.
I know.
like you're so shocked i know because it okay anyways okay you must become unshakable in the
belief that you are worthy of a big life that's hard to do you are worthy instagram they're all
the same thing i will say this though kelty i appreciate that only because um i was talking
to my sister-in-law the other day who has three children and there's something in the martin dna
with some of the kids and zach got this and one of his sisters did where there's no lack of
self-confidence it's not like an arrogance but there's something where you can't tell them that
they can't have something you can't tell them that they're not the best at something like that's not
the way it works it's just not like it has never entered zach's brain to ever go to work and be
like oh i don't know if i got this today meanwhile every day of my life every audition i walk into
i'm like oh my god i don't know if i have this today yeah are the women in a family like that
one of one of his sisters is and then the other sister is more like me where she beats herself
over every little thing so the other sister has three kids and and one of the kids got that
zach gene and i'm like god wouldn't that be just be incredible to have a child who's just born with
that yeah but some if you're not born with that i think it's really really hard to to get there
well humans in general we beat ourselves up so that is he probably so much the exception of how
people naturally are like everybody just like knocks themselves down oh i think i'm a zach
i've always been like yeah not me yeah yeah someone has to win someone has a hybrid yeah
because you but then you do knock yourself down yeah after like i never go into something with
fear i'm never like oh my god do i have this today i'm like i freaking got this and then i get in the
car after and i bust out in tears being like i was a total failure that was the worst thing i've
ever done yeah you're really much like my fashion like i'll be like i don't care what i wear and
then i'll wear it and then after like remember when you did that photo shoot for people magazine
and i was like i don't care i'll wear the stripe outfit and i was like i'm great and then afterwards
i looked at the photos and i was like i hate this picture so much and like you're like i you know
anyway yeah like yeah that's great to be rollercoastering like that
no but it is nice but i i think you're right it's like really hard to tell someone like believe in
yourself if you're not that kind of no it has to come from like somebody could tell i mean even
supermodels i'm sure there are some that feel like ugly you guys if you fall celeb celebrity
face or whatever that app or that instagram i told you it's literally all the supermodels
and how they facetune their photos and i'm like if kendall jenner needs to like if you're
person like shit that's so bad like the real like real supermodels that are like in vogues and stuff
yeah like making their way smaller i'm like you're a fucking supermodel you're like six three but
that in itself like has to bring like it doesn't bring comfort as like a normal person but it has
to a little bit because all of our brains are the same and we all beat ourselves up it's not just
if you're pretty and beautiful then yeah we all hate ourselves a little bit i have a girlfriend
who's like a solid six maybe five maybe five but you cannot tell her she's not the hottest person
in the room and guess what i'm sure she gets more guys than any other girl men love her yeah men
love her people gravitate towards her because she's not annoying about her insecurities she's
like i look amazing and i'm you know what i mean and you're like do you and she's like yeah and
you're like okay you do and i'm like i guess you do i mean good for you you know and i'm being
generous you know what i mean it's like but it's it's so attractive that quality it's just really
hard to have it if you don't i mean you can't have it as a female i don't think no no but when
you think about guys i've gone out i'm not well i've met many guys that aren't you don't initially
think they're super attractive but confidence and sense of humor can change somebody's looks like
so fast totally okay what do you great gratitude what are you gracious for what is your gratitude
grateful grateful gracious do you want me to start so you have time yeah you can start great
i'm so grateful for the book shantaram
oh my god it was a delicious 937 page book wow took me a month to read it was the best book i've
probably read in my entire life and i know you made fun of me for only reading like mindy kaling
books so i took on a biggie what is the most incredible story it's i don't want to give
anything away because i'll tell you this it's coming out as an extended series oh so apparently
many years ago when this book first came out johnny depp had the rights to it to make a movie
is it fiction it's true story ish is it true based on true events it's based on true events
because the guy's story is real okay and basically he had to flee his home in australia new zealand
can't remember they're gonna people are gonna hate that i don't remember exactly where i was home
and he had attempted robbery and was in jail and he had to leave his entire family he escaped from
jail so they do the entire escape and he has to leave his family and his kids and never talk to
them again so that he can like get out of jail but he's gonna be in there for life shantaram
and then he um then he goes to bombay and he starts living in the bombay slum so there's
like a whole part and he knew first aid so he became the slum doctor there's this whole part
with that are we rooting him on yes it's like that weird character where you're like you're a bad guy
and then you turn into a good guy in like the story of redemption but then there's this whole
part where like this person wants to get him so they throw him in this arthur road jail which is
in bombay and they like he has to sleep a whole book for everybody right now he has to sleep in
like please anyway there's like different segments of the book that are gonna make it like six
incredible seasons of television like i swear to god this is gonna be the next game of thrones
everyone's gonna watch it so i won't watch it it's the best book you don't watch game of thrones
either i don't watch thank god i watched the first you watch it three seasons i watched the first
like three seasons too i just it annoys me when people talk about it and i'm like i just i'm not
gonna watch it on the premise of the fact that everybody else is watching it i gave it a good
try yeah i did too there's too many meetings and caves and everybody looks the same and i can't
tell anybody apart and everything is i don't know it's all anyway shantaram is it if you haven't
read it and you love to read dig in dig in what are you grateful for jack um okay eye roll she's
like oh she's like not game of thrones not game of thrones um so i posted this tutorial i say
this in air quotes because it was the worst tutorial ever but i was doing a sponsored post
about this curling iron and they wanted me to show how i curled my hair i do love your curls
so thank you so i put my phone in my bathroom that's super shitty lit and you can barely hear
me talking i did this little like show people how i curled my hair people love it i've never
gotten so many compliments on something in my entire life because and i think this is why
because i had a shirt on and the whole beauty blogger thing is so weird and everybody looks
like a mime when they're like doing these things with all like it is the strangest thing ever and
I feel we're going to look back at it in 20 years being like, what the hell is going on?
It's weird.
So I was just like, then I take the curling iron and I wrap it around straight, like the
super most basic thing ever.
And I think people resonate with it because that's how most people are and they're not
crazy beauty bloggers.
It's true.
We take it for granted how much access we have to information and tools and all that
stuff.
Yeah.
So I was actually-
I'm just a regular girl doing regular girl things.
I am, you know?
I don't know.
it's kind of cool that like people thought it was like somewhat decent because i was like this is a
bomb and nobody's gonna watch it so it's cute nice so thanks for watching bitches bitches i
watched it i thought you did a great job thanks um okay here's what i'm grateful for um i am really
grateful that i have a group of friends that are all kind of past the the drama part of life
and they're past the mean girl thing and i think we're all guilty of it at certain times in our
lives some are worse than others but i know in my 20s there were times where you're not like the
best friend in your 20s you're a little more selfish you're a little less aware you're a
little more judgmental and it wasn't until the last probably year of my life where i really took
inventory and i got rid of some like toxic people and something happened like last week where i was
kind of tried to bring back into this like friend group drama thing and i was just like if this were
a year ago this would have monopolized my whole life right now right because these people are so
and you notice that when you step away from it people weirdly try to get you back in and they
try to like it was it was just such a strange like chain of events where i haven't spoken to
somebody in over a year and yet they are still trying to sort of like play i don't know what
it is it's like manipulate other friends around me too so i was like oh my god i don't have any
girlfriends right now that engage in this behavior give a shit about this behavior talk about people
the way that this person talks about people manipulates the way this person manipulates
people and it's like i probably would have held on to that friendship for 10 more years if this
were in my 20s yeah like 10 more years and gone through this for 10 more years with this person
and it's like wow i don't have any of those people right now where i'm like i need you out
it's crazy how bad that is when you're out of it once you talk to somebody from your past like
that too because you're like oh my god i forgot that friendship is not supposed to be so difficult
it's supposed to be easy you're supposed to be there for each other unwaveringly and that's it
and no strings attached to it yeah so it's crazy when you have to like it was like all-encompassing
drama and it's just unbelievable how much energy is taken on that sort of a thing so i'm just
really cut him out cut him out it out all right what's coming up what's in our box don't shake
it too hard what's in the lady gang box what's in the box oh this is a good one you guys ready
yeah yeah how to get better at small talk oh i hate small talk i can't i don't know don't just
don't i have a big talk or nah are we having big talks yeah or no then we can stay makes me want
to die here's the problem with big talk or not like at a dinner that i was out on saturday i'm
the same and after i've had a glass of wine or two i'm just like diving right right in i'm diving
into your life i'm driving diving into your business you're going to hear about my hpv
you're going to hear about you're going to hear about whatever i want you to hear about
but some people are are small talk or not yeah yeah sometimes you get into conversations where
you go big talk and then you realize that that person is not equipped for big talk and that's
an awkward situation so now i just don't talk it's just no talk no talk no talk or yay or yay
or you find somebody you scope the person out in the room that you know you can have i don't know
a less painful conversation it's really hard listen you guys know i think you both told me
this maybe you've told me too the amount of people that say like kelty's such a bitch or like kelty
hates me or kelty like yeah this happens to me all the time because i don't like small talk it's
true i can't small talk i can talk about what is happening and join in a conversation but like the
there is nothing like i can't and so i just like there's nothing people are like what the
is wrong with her and i'm like i hate small talk like i don't know too there's nothing worse than
somebody asking you what's new oh what have you been up to but i have so much going on in my life
And if somebody asked me that question today, I'd be like, nothing much.
Like, just hanging out, working.
No, I had this happen on the weekend.
Like, I don't, I all of a sudden go blank and I forget every single thing that I'm doing in my life.
And I also wanted to be like, shut up.
I don't want to tell you what's new.
I know.
But you have so many good things.
But I don't care.
I don't want to talk to a stranger or like an acquaintance about what's new.
Also, people that are asking that just want you to answer so then they can talk about whatever the hell they're doing.
I also have realized I'm a certain type of introvert where I really don't want to talk about my life.
Me neither.
I hate that too.
I hate talking.
Even after the news came out about the Lady Gang TV show, I could not be more thrilled.
I cried.
Like, I had champagne.
Like, it was so exciting.
And Zach and I had such a moment together.
But then I regretted so badly posting anything on social media because everywhere you go.
And this is like, wow, wow, wow, boo, hoo for you.
But I struggle.
Oh, you have a TV show for you.
I struggle so hard.
I went to a wedding the next weekend with all these people from Atlanta that I know.
And every single person, rightfully so, was like, congratulations.
Tell me about it.
I was like, I don't want to.
My butt crack couldn't be tighter.
Like my butt hole is like tighter than anything.
I don't want to talk about it.
I'm sweating under my armpits.
I wish you didn't know this information.
Leave me alone.
There is nothing worse on top of that.
Try to do that with dating and somebody asking you about your life.
And it's like a new person.
It's a groundhog day.
I pretended that I was on like interviewed like on Jimmy Kimmel when I was on dates.
I actually just played like I was on an interview.
You're like so Jimmy.
Yeah, anyways.
Well, you're just like, I'm going to be charming and tell fun stories about myself.
That's what you have to start doing.
That literally sounds like a nightmare.
Well, you're going to have to start practicing.
I also feel like that sort of I had a hard relationship with my mom for like 10 years.
And I figured out the secret is that she would be like, what's new?
And just want to hear all my news and that I lived my news and do not want to regurgitate
it.
And it was like, she just wanted to be included in my life and feel like she was along for
the ride.
And she would like come to my house to visit me.
I see her once a year and she'd be like, how's work?
And I'd be like, good.
Like, can you imagine how much she hated me?
I did that to my dad for so many years.
But that's how kids are to their parents.
When you're not a child.
What you learned today at school.
But it's the same kind of thing.
and you just don't want to talk about it you're so nice to your parents where yeah you're different
you're like a sister bride but i am i realized that that is a sister bride like i mean she wanted
me to sit there and be like this week i have this this this and i met this this this this and these
are things that are challenging these are things i'm working through what do you think like and i
just could never be that person because i was already on the next thing yeah because when you
live it you don't want to talk about it it's true and also i'm like i'm doing you a favor i'm living
my whole life on tv and like in a podcast like i'm literally listen to the podcast that's what's
going on like don't make me have another conversation about my bad week like it's out
there you know what's so funny so my mom's co-worker listens to the podcast and she has
a daughter that's like around my age and she was talking to my mom she's like you know what i know
way more about your daughter than i know about my own i was like well so does everybody else in the
world so does everyone else yeah do you share everything with your significant other when you
have one or when you're married like i don't share everything but i also don't like intentionally
keep secrets i don't think that they're but i zach would glaze over if i talked to him about
every detail about every detail because it's just yeah we tell we like talk highs and lows like good
week bad week good day bad day like it's like here's what happened today big things or like
chris a couple weeks ago forgot to tell me that his dad was having surgery like so i went over
there for brunch on the weekend and i was like how are you his dad's been like a little bit sick and
I was like, how are you feeling?
Like, what's going on?
And he's like, oh, well, you know, I'm having my big surgery on Wednesday.
And I was like, what?
And I looked at Chris and I was like, this is the kind of stuff you should be telling
you.
So I don't look like a bad wife.
Kind of.
I'm like, anyway.
But it's like hard when you're, I guess you're living your life.
Do you share everything when you get in a relationship?
I do.
I mean, I'm very much a sharer.
Like I talk, I have to talk through things.
So whether it's with my parents or my friends or with a significant other, I definitely
do, but not, I'm also an introvert, so I don't overshare.
so i would assume that it's not in like an overbearing way but yeah i need to like talk
through things so i do talker talker not a grower just kidding all right guys we're not here for a
long time but we're here for a good time bye did it once it escalated quickly thanks for joining
