When will the list come out I need to know what the best ugly trend of the year was And we're going to give you that Right now Are you guys ready ready okay let's begin let me put my glasses on because i can't see anything i'm sold okay best celebrity we're starting off best celebrity scandal diddy diddy it's unanimous it also is the gift that doesn't stop giving no is that the saying the gift that keeps giving the gift that

keeps on giving i mean i've done so many deep dives on first degree about it and it's just like once you start looking into something you look into it just is like an onion that keeps peeling and you're like oh so everybody's connected to this yeah can you confirm or deny for me i've heard rumblings about the baby oil that exposure to baby oil can cause that weird pneumonia that all those people died from yeah it's like ingesting baby oil can cause like aspiration pneumonia and it's really i mean it's really easy to just like end up for like a medical examiner during an autopsy to just be like oh they had pneumonia whoa okay so the baby oil well and there's i mean And when you look into so many of the weird celebrity deaths, so many of them are pneumonia.

So many. But that's what they say when you die from something else and they have to cover it. I mean. You don't know. Nobody knows. You don't have the file. That's true. But I mean, I believe anything.

Me too. My best celebrity scandal. I knew you were going to say Diddy, so I wanted to take us to another place. My biggest celebrity scandal of the year is Pete Davidson removing all his tattoos. Oh, wait, removing all of them? He said Diddy? Pete Davidson. no I know Diddy like did he

I'm like no we're actually bringing it back to Diddy Pete Davidson yes there's new pictures that came out he has removed like laser tattoo removal the tats are on their way out I think it's like what we

are on a simulation you're not even Pete Davidson anymore maybe he's sober now I don't know you and it's also I think this is going to be a hot trend for 2025 going to trend forecast here I think the tattoo removal is going to be the new getting a tattoo. Yeah.

Because we all got tattoos on me. All of it. Well, you didn't get it. But look at in my defense. Would you like to see the update of my own tramp stamp? Yes, please. Yes. Hope you guys are watching on YouTube.

Wow. Oh, she's unbuttoning her pants. We're getting a little bit naked. Okay. Oh, wow. We see a butt crack. There is a faint. That is impressive.

There's a faint black outline. It looks like you have. It's barely there. Yeah. i have one more like not one more i can go forever but anyway pete i'm with you i mean this is crazy he had tattoos all over his arm i know they're gone okay huh best app oh what did i have for mine okay i'll go mine is chat gbt i recently spent so every once in a while i like to spend time with people that are smarter than me and i don't mean this offensively you guys are both

better than me in different ways, but spreadsheets and like using AI and like Google drives to make my life better is not either one of your like, you're not going to be like, Hey, why aren't using Gemini to write your emails? Like no one's ever, no one in this group has ever said that to me. I spent some time with my friend, Kristen, who runs Taco Terrian, which is an amazing vegan restaurant in Vegas and San Diego. Ooh, we can go in San Diego. I just realized that's amazing. Anyway, sorry. It's like the best food on the planet. Anyway, she looked at me and she goes, wait you're not using Gemini you know you can use chat GPT I was like whoa look at all these like I don't know why we got together drank wine and looked at spreadsheets but I was like your

spreadsheets are so beautiful and she was like you got to use chat GPT they can make anything so I've been on a chat GPT and like AI world using it because I was like what is AI doing other than stealing my personality and like making a fake me yeah no you guys I figured the problem to my emails in the gmail app you can use gemini where i can read it reads the email for you and then you can just put like pass and you press the button on the gemini button and it goes hey alexandria thanks so much for the invite to the benefit on november 13th i'm so sorry i'm not gonna be able to make it but i hope we can connect soon best regards kelty it writes a nice email from me wow wow isn't that incredible that's pretty great yes so you it i did so much work

in like two hours yesterday using it chat gbt also changed the game um i i use it for everything someone told me that that the youths are not using google anymore they just use chat gbt oh so literally chat gbt like comes through google and the entire internet so i'm literally like hey chat gbt i got a ten thousand dollar bonus at work this year how can i turn that into the most money possible in two years for a down payment on a house or whatever and it will literally tell you what to do but how do we know that chat gbt is not um manipulating us to do things that are bad for us we don't know that but i what i'm saying under current i asked chat gbt to write a um caption for a tiktok that i made and that tiktok outperformed all the other tiktoks that i really

made yeah so i think it's great i mean what's your favorite app um best of the year sorry not favorite best of the year um well number one goodreads since i'm a reader now wow so i'm putting all my books into goodreads wow and um the other one is next door because ever since i moved now i can kind of see what's up and we used it it was so cute for halloween if you go to next door it tells you like the houses that are gonna be on trick or giving out candy yeah and that are decorated and stuff and i'm sure they're gonna do the same thing for christmas so i thought that was so cute but then they can also tell you crime but there's not that much crime okay when i lived in la there'd be like there's a man running down no okay with a hatchet yes it's like and he's nude

naked man wielding machete and he's shitting himself i literally had to get off next door for that exact well that that was like citizen i feel like is the one that like tells you like real time and then it's like it's like people like upload videos and it's like there's a fire with a bunch of naked men wielding machetes like so wild it's too much in la yeah orange county is a lot easier yeah what's your favorite best app of the year becca i do love grammarly oh yeah of course it's the most wonderful thing because i'm very judgmental of people who send me texts and emails with bad punctuation bad grammar bad whatever so even though i'm like the typo queen but grammarly it fixes every single freaking typo well you really raw dogged me not

raw dogged is the wrong word you really dogged me when we when i use grammarly to write my essays in lady secrets but now who's the favorite app but they were still there's no way you used it correctly like maybe you installed it but you did not engage it the sentences were so far gone that i didn't even know what you were talking about yeah oh my god yeah okay best new tv show becca oh wait i have to get my list out oh lioness so lioness on paramount plus they this is technically not a new show but it's their second season currently uh-huh my friend my friend dave annabelle is in it i saw him by the way he plays he's so great did you say hi to him like yeah okay i was like hey it's kelty from lady gang and he goes what are you doing here and i was like i work

here this is my dressing room it was funny he didn't know what i did for a living he just thought i did the podcast that's cute adorable um yeah he was on the podcast with us um amazing yeah the show is amazing zoe saldana and nicole kidman it's about a real program that the government has where they use women from like the armed forces to go undercover like cia in this like private sector and they call them lioness and they go in and they befriend like the wife of some head of a terrorist whatever and they go in it is boom ah so good i'm gonna watch that okay you will love it thank god we made the list best tv show of the year um i have two one is not from this year i mean maybe it was this year i don't know but i just binged yellow jackets and it was

the best show that i've seen probably in since lost oh yeah i saw that you posted about it no but i've had such there's been polarizing um reviews so i'm like i don't know what are the bad reviews that it's too weird oh well that's why i like it it is so weird it's there it's so bizarre and dark and I am so obsessed with it but the actors are so good um Juliette Lewis is amazing and then Christina Ricci is like the best character I've probably ever seen in a show like it's incredible I am so obsessed I'm sad it's over and then my other tv show is a show called From I feel like it's a very sleeper show it's by the people that did Lost and it's about a town that people get stuck in and they don't know why they're there and like the whole show is just

like kind of the mystery of like figuring out what the town is thank you dread and dread more dread it's christina ricci was the first woman that i ever felt okay about having a big forehead because she was on tv and she had a big forehead she's also like she's beautiful person and she's so stunning still she's so pretty i love her and she's so good yellow jackets this is amazing i'm gonna cleanse that palette the best show of 2024 is finding mr christmas on hallmark plus now we just had jonathan on i would not have put this on the list if it wasn't good like i would have put i need to watch it i haven't started let me tell you i needed this show my you know i love rupaul's drag race and i was very disappointed in this year's rupaul's drag race global all-stars i

actually haven't even finished it yet which is crazy to me i did get a spoiler online finding mr christmas is organized where the there's no there's no dread there's no chaos but it's essentially rupaul's drag race but with hot men being charming because there's no dread in finding mr christmas i think i knew that no you never know that's true they're so funny it's so campy it's really stupid and i had the choice on the plane of watching finishing salt lake city house wives or watching finding mr christmas i watched finding mr wow that says a lot wow salt lake is good too i know The Lady Gang.

Okay, best movie of the year. The Idea of You! What was that one with the old lady? Anne Hathaway, where she falls in love with a rock star! Oh, I thought that was the other old lady, young man one. That was a great movie. That was a great movie, but I will say, I only saw one movie in the theaters this year.

I know, the world has changed. And it was Wild Robot with Ford. It's a kid's animated movie. You Will Cry. Is it Pixar? is it pixar it's gotta be it's like you will cry you can't do that your eyes out is it like wally remember when they had wally and you like fall in love with a little animal like a little guy it's yeah it's similar but it is wow what's it called wild robot and um maren morris wrote a

song for it and so after you watch the movie and then you go and you listen to the song you'll have another cry no it's a beautiful song pretty what dreadful movie did you watch this year jack Well, you know, I don't like watching movies, but during Halloween, like the week before Halloween, I'm like, I'm going to watch a scary movie every night this week. Oh, fun. And then I haven't watched a movie since then, but I really do want to get into movies at some point. I want to get into movies at some point.

Hey guys, my goal for 2025 is like, I really want to get into movies. Well, it's this thing. Movies. It's this new thing. You guys, I still can't mentally get past it, but it's like, I literally sat there for six and a half hours watching Yellow Jackets. So I'm like, I don't know where the hangup is. I know.

um i did well i have like my shining obsession so the shining was amazing and then um probably hereditary was at least kind of what i was looking for for dread wow you ever seen it never weird okay um i have i do have one thing i did watch it ends with us during election night as i was going back and forth from my phone i was like i can't watch the news anymore i'm gonna watch uh it ends with us to be honest it was a great movie and i actually became more appalled at the press tour that happened after that movie because it was literally like these things are not like the other yeah these things are so polar opposite as far as vibe and tone goes yeah that it is wild to me that it that nobody figured spiraled into this rate like crazy that it was like grab your

girlfriends like you know you're like you're more appalled i'm talking about i'm appalled sorry the way that like the taylor swift like wear your florals yes i'm appalled that people like were making it a festive event it was yeah it's a really well done movie yeah but it is not a cheery like let's have a giggle and eat some popcorn together it's so insane it was so wild yeah you know who would do that press tour me and you know who wouldn't you you would have worn dark suits the whole time being like i'm in and i'm like oh my god i'm wearing flowers i literally would have said this is what i would have done and it wouldn't have been performative because it's so dark and heavy and it's so real that so many people were going through this i literally

would have worn plain clothes done my own hair and makeup and been like all the glam budget is actually going to victims of domestic abuse did you see the thing about anna kendrick she made a movie about the hour yeah it was about this um serial killer that was on a dating show the dating game anyway she donated all of her money to i don't know what charity was domestic abuse or something make any money off it all of it all of it that seems crazy no she had like i think it's all of it from like what she had three jobs oh so she was like executive producer yeah so it's like maybe her act yeah or her ep money so like we could have just at least like thrown some glam budget in the way i mean they could have at least just not said wear your florals that was wild

or sold hair care yeah it was a weird time too elf i mean sorry not elf um this is my dupe okay best dupe i'm ready okay i know all the gen z-ers i know everyone wants a bronzing drop i know we were all going to sephora and getting the drunk elephant bronzing drops for multiples of tens the elf bronzing I was literally is it's the greatest same dupe no but as soon as you said bronzing I think it's like six bucks it's amazing is freaking I wore it to work and everyone was like you look so good today what's going on what's going on I was like god damn it like it's amazing huh um mine I don't have a like a dupe but what I have been doing is going like back to basics cheaper skincare like I've been doing like a lot of CeraVe a lot of Vanna cream like the cheap

shit that actually works instead of spending like a bazillion dollars on skincare. I love that. Cause I have to like, I'm not, I can't be adventurous anymore with buying new stuff. So it saved me a lot of money. Um, but you don't have to buy like $150 serum. Like the cheap shit works too. I love it. True that. I didn't have a dupe. I really, really, really tried, but you know, I was thinking like H gate and I don't do, so I was like, I can't, isn't that where you guys get your DH gauge. She doesn't even know what it's called. It's fine. Um, okay. Best favorite tour look you wore from Marshalls. I think mine was my first one that I wore to Austin. It was the little like disco strapless mini dress with my silver boots. So cute. You know, when you start

something off, you go like all out and then like, you know, start skittles and then you wear pajamas and then you wear pajamas. Sort of like what you're doing right now. Exactly. I have hives. oh my god i did it then no i can't wait to like hysterectomy count is out for 2024 hive count is in for hives are hives are in but that was definitely before hives because that dress was very itchy very itchy um but it was a good book and i got the most compliments from it yeah it was a good one mine was everything i borrowed from you kelty i had a white strapless dress with like the flower apple k things and then a blazer uh shorts like a romper and then your over the knee boots that i stretched out too much because my thighs are so much bigger than kelties behind

hopefully somebody's wearing right now i mean that was like i had never realized how skinny your legs were until that happened because they were already because you wore them and it was an over the knee boot with like a little bit of like an elastic, whatever. And you did say you're like there. Cause I was like, I'm not gonna be able to wear them. Are they loose enough? They're loose on me. They were already loose, which is why I wasn't wearing them all the time. Right. And then I wore them and she put them on and it was like the craziest thing I've ever seen. All the way down. I know it was crazy. My favorite look was the look that we did. And we were in people magazine that we wore. We all wore like the black and white kind of promy thing. And I had that

little black mini with a huge white bow on it. That was a cute look. I felt really cute that day and I had a sparkle boot and I just really loved it. I also think our best trio look was the polka dots. Oh my god, I forgot about the polka dots. I did look like I was hiding a pregnancy.

That was a moo moo dress. It was tough. Yeah. Cohesive. It looked beautiful. I looked like Kirstie Alley in the TV show she did playing herself what was it she always wore like a tenty dress do you know the show that i'm talking about kirsty i think it was called fat actress that show was chef's kiss amazing amazing show

okay um what was your best ugly trend i'm wearing it right now barrel that was mine these are barrel sweatpants okay i don't know if we need a barrel sweatpan but you know what you do you you would and she can't do the jeans she has hives so let her do her sweat barrel the barrel jeans i gotta have a trend every time i see someone in it i hate it when i see it online at the sites i hate it i have these this pair i got from marshall's um and they're stretchy which makes it even more wearable i have worn it twice at work for e-news both times i'm like ah and then i put it on i'm like i feel so cool i hate it and i love it same that was my same one and i also want to say for the record before madewell and j crew and everybody started making them i had a

Sometimes when you're in the seven year itch, like sometimes you need to just listen to a breakup song and be

like, do I want to do this? Do I want to start all over again? Do I want to be this sad and then have to start over with someone else and then get here again eventually anyway.
