Episode Date: October 17, 2016

You probably know Matt Bellassai from Buzzfeed's "Whine About It," but now he's doing his own thang on his facebook page, "Can I Be Honest." Well, he's being honest right here on the LadyGang this week - about everything from getting drunk at 12noon to do his show to which One Direction member he likes best to his glassware collection to what he does to feel comfortable & make friends in a roomful of strangers.

Hey guys, it's your Lady Gang, Jack Vanek, Kelty Knight, and Becca Tobin. Thank you so much for subscribing on iTunes, and thanks for supporting the great sponsors who make it possible for us to have this much fun with you every single week for free. 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, lady gang. How are you? We're great. It's Tuesday, which means it's the best day ever. I'm Becca Tobin, actress, blogger, and I said model once, and I think I'm going to keep it. When did you say model? It's Gigi Hadid.

I want to keep it, but it's not true. If you're a model, I'm a model. We're all models. And across from me is Ms. Kelty Knight, entertainment journalist. She interviews all the important people on the Hollywood red carpets all around town. and to my right jack vanek clothing designer extraordinaire ceo of jack vanek clothing and guess what you guys this week we all have the same fun fact so fun we're all allergic to horses how did you find out you were allergic to horses i went to colorado and went horseback riding with

my friends uh like i think we were right out of high school and we get on this horse and we're like trotting around all of a sudden i'm like oh i feel weird i'm like super itchy blah blah blah within an hour my face looked like the nutty professor you know in that scene i looked like a monster how'd you find out jack i went to medieval times when i was like well here's the thing i didn't used to be allergic to horses because i used to go to me too you guys used to dance on horses yes we did but i went to medieval times when i was like 18 and i had like a full-on allergy asthma attack and i almost passed out and i had to sit outside and I was wheezing.

It was really fun. And then Scott took me horseback riding for Valentine's Day and I had an allergy attack too. For me, it really put a damper on my Olympic horse vaulting dream. Every time I'm around horses, I get a nosebleed. Really?

That's weird. That's odd. Every time. Wow, impressive. Without fail. Bloody nose. You guys were so similar. We are. And now it's time for... Good week. Yes, it is. Bad week. No!

Okay, I'm going to start. Wait, Becca, I have to start. Uh-oh. No, no, no. Because I want to tell everyone. I want to remind everyone that on October 29th, we will be performing live at Entertainment Weekly's Pop Fest. And you can go get tickets at ewpopfest.com and come see us live.

And we have treats for everyone, so you better come. It's downtown LA, and it's going to be an awesome event. And we're going to be, like, the least famous people there. We do. We for sure will be the least famous people there. So you're going to see, like, Jennifer Aniston, Jodie Foster, and then us. nick jonas and us so come please okay get your tickets um do you still have to go for it was that a bad good week that's just a meet see you next kelty had to get it in there she was really

stressed out she had to it was on the to-do list and i was like wait we're gonna no all right well i'm gonna start i it was it was really hard for me to decide where i was gonna go with it this week because i've had an epic week of bad weeks but here's what i'm gonna say i was in georgia staying with my future sister-in-law and her family and zach and we went to visit and we were hanging out it was really fun they have this beautiful house i get out of the shower and i am like drying my hair and i feel myself like loosen up one of my earrings but it's like not really a big deal. Um, so then I go and I need to go to the bathroom. Number two, of course I go number two and then I, I flush and I left, you know, some, some remnants and on like her spotless

bathroom. And I'm like, Oh my God, I have to like, what do you, you know, what do you do? So anytime this happens, what I'll do is I'll flush the toilets really quickly and then scrape it out and then get it out with toilet paper like as little water they can possibly be in the bowl so i like lean over and i'm inspecting you know what i should do taking an evaluation if you will and i go to put my hair behind my ear and i hear my earring in the toilet did it land in the poop a diamond earring in poop water and i was like that's where diamonds come from though right poo yeah or something do they essentially it's like just carbon pressed together but whatever so not we're all of you so that's no so i'm like oh my god and then i sat there with myself and i

was like this is not my house so i can't run out and get any kind of prop any kind of like tool it has to just happen right here in this moment wait and it wasn't flushing down the toilet i didn't i had yet to flush it again it did not float and i was sitting there like negotiating with myself like how much did these earrings cost and am i willing to flush it so i was like absolutely not so basically what i'm doing is for four hundred dollars will you stick your hand in a poopy toilet that was my number that was my number and i was like i guess i will there i go and i go i did it how is it in your ear now it's in my ear it's disgusting have you gotten a reaction on your area i haven't any remnants no no um so there's my bad week that's bad um i thought of

you guys immediately as you should my good week is this so i'm on twitter and it's like someone just followed you oh who aaron carter yes oh my god yes aaron effing carter yes and i was just making his rounds he is literally making his rounds he follows like a hundred thousand people but i'm like how did we get so lucky as to be chosen have you been followed by your incardia yes you have is that your good week no damn um but anyways other than that i also saw on there do you guys remember when wait wait wait are you having it's part of twitter it's a twitter good week oh it's all inclusive i have to the fairest woman in the land says acceptable thank you it's The Twitter good week.

So I, when we had Stassi on the show, do you guys remember that I, like, bashed Jax? Yes. Yes. Like, totally bashed him. Well, he recently liked one of our tweets. Like, I retweeted a Lady Gang tweet, and then he liked my retweet. That's weird. He follows you.

But he doesn't follow me. So he's creeping hard. Creeping hard. Isn't that so weird? That's true. But I talked so much smack about him that, like, I just don't understand. anyways so that was my good week it's pretty good okay i mean aaron carter good weeks are the best apparently aaron carter hello um all right jack okay so my good week is jack vanik is now available

Okay. i looked on our lady gang podcast reviews and we have like 900 reviews and about all love us they love us wow five stars we have five star reviews i haven't been this popular since i promised to put out at the prom anyways we have like five star reviews they're mostly good but there are some bad whatever and one of our lady gangers one of our lady gangers in our private facebook group posted about this a few weeks ago so thank

you daniella but i received the worst insult that i could possibly possibly receive in my entire life and that is being compared to donald trump what yeah wait how okay i'm gonna read this it's kind of a long review number one it's titled titled shallow nasty and bitter one star pretty much though yeah i mean whatever describing words some might see that as a good quality some might see that as a bad one well she hates you number one good hate you too uh eloise one two three eloise one two three guess what i'm not losing any sleep over you maybe five minutes you're gonna be really sad trying to go to bed tonight okay so this is what she says about me she goes if i hear jack quote mini donald trump vanik boast about how she built her business

without any help from anybody i'll scream i assume she includes her employees everyone who gave her a break or who helped her along the way no one makes it alone you're an idiot but you actually made it alone i did she means no help like financial yeah i mean it's like she didn't take an investor have a rich parent to back her yeah i don't have daddy what did she say about me now she's worried becca tries to act like no i'm not worried i just have some i want to give her feedback okay yours is good too she goes i like this podcast at first but honestly the guests are either z-list quote celebrities or becca's co-stars from clee technically technically also z-list celebrities and frankly i'm tired of listening to becca becca's internalized misogyny

and unexpected bowel movements no one should be telling young girls that men earn more because they're better wait what they say about me never said that i never said they were better so she likes kelty kind of no she doesn't kelty kind of kelty nights not bad but she could do without telling young girls that you can't make it in hollywood without being a size zero times are changing all it honestly times are changing but if that's really the first thing that comes to mind when you think about me that makes me sad okay wait it's not being compared to donald trump that's like the worst thing ever i don't understand how you i mean yes he talks about like how he built his business but like do i both he also had hit the backstory is that he had a

million dollars like millions of dollars from his dad bye i borrowed 200 i bet eloise is still listening okay are you ready yes i'm gonna be so fast go a few weeks ago everyone was asking me for an update on jeans man oh my sexy man at the gym yes i saw him again you guys let me just tell you what was happening so i was getting an uber because i had to shoot very far away and i don't want to drive because it was nighttime and it was dusk and i went outside the gates at cbs and i turned to the left and there was jeans man in a tight gray t-shirt a boot cunt sparkle bum jean a work boot and i cannot even make this up he had a full drill on and the drill was like by his hip and he was drilling the cement with a shaved head just he was drilling in the cement and

that's the update on jeans man what cement we weren't sure what he was we don't know what he is so this is jeans man for anyone who has never listened before construction jeans man comes to the gym in a bedazzled boot cut jean every day when i'm working out and he works out and pumps iron beside me and he's like oh yeah so hot in his jeans but we don't know what he does anyway so i saw jeans man i wanted to give everyone the update that's my good week bad week i put two tampons in and didn't realize for half a day i literally was like this is the worst period of my life and i pulled out a tampon i was like oh and then second one i've done that before or where i don't remember taking it out and then i go fishing i'm like is it up there yeah we don't

He's cute. He loves wine.

He's hilarious. We fell in love with him watching BuzzFeed's Wine About It. But then he wanted to be a girl boss like us and start his own thing. So he moved his hilarious rants over to his Facebook page, which if you're not already watching them every week, you absolutely should be. He basically sits down in a really beautiful chair, gets drunk, and asks, can I be honest? Last year, Matt was awarded with the first ever People's Choice Award for Social Media Star. And we've traded in our mimosas this week for wine in honor of him. Welcome to the podcast, Matt Bellassai.

Thank you, thank you. Welcome. Thank you. I was, I was like, oh my God, I'm one of the few people with a penis who's been on your podcast. You are. And I'm sorry. I apologize for my anatomy.

We're excited. We're so stoked. I'm mostly excited because I'm an undercover misogynist. Same, same. Honestly, yes. Okay, so now that you're really famous, where is the strangest place you've been recognized? I'm not famous. I have to say that.

I don't know where the weirdest place. I don't know. Airplanes are always weird because, like, you can't escape. Like on the airplane? Some lady tried to switch seats with the guy who was sitting next to me and got him to do it. But just for, like, a second so she could say hello. And I was like, okay, there's nothing worse than having somebody talk to you on the airplane. Right.

I just, yeah, I like silence. I like, you know, popping a pill and throwing back a bottle. A little zany, a little wine. We saw your tweet about coming out to LA. You're like, I can't wait to get on the airplane for my airplane drugs. Yeah. No, because I don't like, you know, I don't casually pop Usanax all the time. So when I get the luxury of taking it on an airplane, I go for it.

I love it. I like have like my whole setup. Yeah. Are people upset when they meet you and you're not, like, complaining? Because I honestly – you're smiling and you seem excited to be here and I'm kind of bummed out. I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm not an asshole constantly. Most of the time and not constantly. No. Like, sometimes I meet people on the street and they'll say hello and then kind of, like, stand back and wait. Like, stop. I got – Like, you're like a trick horse. Like, you forgot to wind me up.

I don't know what to say. Like I don't, I don't have tambourines that I'm going to start crashing together. So yeah. Amazing. Um, who is the celebrity? Cause I know you do your show solo, but like if you had to have a celebrity guest to whine with, do you have one chosen? Just any, any celebrity would be nice.

That's how we feel in the lady gang. Yeah. We're like anybody, please. um i mean i'm i beyonce is like the height of my celebrity fan like idol right so obviously uh but i don't i don't know what yeah i don't know what she complains about these compression tights they're so tight my ass is so plump yeah like her gilded toilet is too like warm when she sits down i don't know i don't know what beyonce complains about my weave is too snatched i bet Miley Cyrus complains a lot.

This fan is too fierce. I don't know if I could take. I think Beyonce is the right level of. Celebrity? Exactly. Exactly. We're on the same level. So the most famous person ever you want.

Yeah. Yeah. Just her. Just the most famous. Just her. The most famous in the entire world. Just her. I don't even want Oprah.

Just Beyonce. I agree. Okay. So you're having a comedy tour. Yes. You've turned your desk job into a full-blown lifestyle, and I appreciate you. It's so crazy that you can do that. There's going to be a TV show.

There's going to be a book. Well, maybe, maybe. I mean, it's everyone. What are all the things we're working on? So I finished, like, my proper tour, but I'm still doing a lot of live shows. So I did a tour over the summer, which was 30 shows in 20 cities, and I survived and enjoyed it enough that I want to keep doing that. So I'm going to keep performing live.

So I have, like, college shows coming up. i'm working on a book we're talking about a tv show um but mostly it's like other small like so when that tv show happens becca would like to audition right now becca give us your best wine right now in audition and i'll whine about it what should the topic shouldn't our guests do this actually we should have a contest you're the one auditioning for my show he should judge all of us okay we can complain about okay you go here we go you go first what am i going to complain about just complain about whatever i mean my day i went to an audition i mean what is there not to complain about there's four thirsty desperate women sitting in a room with designer handbags

that you know they're like five seconds away from selling on tradesy if they don't get this job um the casting director when i asked her how she was doing she said i'm surviving before i read for my thing and i'm like way to have a good college attitude because i'm about to go you know hustle my wares. What else can I complain about? That was pretty good. I feel like you can complain about everything. What am I complaining about? Anything. Anything? Yeah, you have to be creative. Don't you want a little improv, Matt? Yeah.

Impress me. But I don't know if I'm auditioning for your show. I'm not the actor. Well, we're going to try. Complain. You're good at complaining. Come on. No, I really can't complain about everything. What am I going to... Okay. I know what I want to complain about. Okay, go ahead. Girls who buy Instagram followers. I hate it so much.

She's been on a tear. I think I send a good Instagram screenshot to both of them almost every day about people that buy fake followers. Why are you doing it? I mean, nobody likes those people. Nobody enjoys someone who does that. I know, but I feel like they're somehow, like, finagling their way and faking it through even though nobody likes them. I know. I don't understand it.

I'm probably going to buy some for myself for Christmas, but whatever. Buy a K. You guys, today, can I just be honest? Today, I got my makeup done at, like, 5 a.m. and my false lashes, and I looked so beautiful. and then I want to take a nap in my office but I have these white fluffy faux fur pillows on my couch this is like the worst thing I've ever heard

I turned to the side and like some of my makeup came off on my faux fur these are all complaints I've had before but who won you know what honestly I made mine kind of bad because I really want if I could get this job I'll let you know

I wasn't prepared I feel like you just did what happened to me earlier at this audition you know that you just set me up to be mediocre it's true yeah i wasn't having the best day so you know okay we're gonna play a game uh right now called wine or fine okay which is basically wine is like it's bad blah you're whining i want to whine about it and fine is like damn it's fine we love it right okay we're gonna get your everyone's opinions on things let's start with rose gold hair color so blonde is what you're talking about i don't know what is no you know those girls like like like blondish pink it's like it's a slight okay okay yeah how much is

colored hair it's fine i like it you're looking at me like you need to have a stronger opinion on this shit it's fine if you're over 25 wine if you're under 25 fine i like it when it's done right but i feel like that could go awry very easily jack it's wine or fine you always break the rules uh she's a fine breaker fine fine when it's done right i think wine because you're gonna let that person bleach the crap out of your hair and you're gonna put the pink color in and then like six months later all your hair's falling out don't do it it's not worth it get a wig like kylie jenner also those roots are brutal brutal yeah okay i would know i have them right now group bachelor bachelorette parties like when you go together like let's all go to

vegas together and the men and the women together wait i would like to also point out that kelty spelled bachelorette machete that was autocorrect you know what i just try to put a nice professional rundown together for our show every week you know i appreciate it kelty thank you um that group bachelor bachelorette yeah absolutely not wine wine wine why what a bachelor party shouldn't exist they're disgusting i don't hate about bachelor parties men shouldn't be allowed in groups more than like two or three because then it just goes down right right um bachelor parties go crazy go crazy but you know don't keep them apart that's dangerous i feel like the only reason why they have them combined is if people have trust there's a cheater yeah if someone's going

home with the stripper there's a cheater together it's like you're so scared of letting your like fiance go off and have one night by himself you should be yeah i'm just gonna say a blanket statement for all bachelor bachelorette festivities wine i hate no really no gross yeah like i don't know i actually don't know what like gay guys do because that makes sense right right but also no did you see what happened to reza from shazza sunset that no i didn't shit got real it's probably best that i don't know yeah wait what do you do you just go off with your respected friends what if you don't right you guys i don't know i think all gay marriage is just like a long bachelor party that's what i imagine everyone's in white that's

career pre-gen wait did he yes he's written many movies he's like a hilarious comedic actor he's always like a supporting and like charlie's angel like whatever and that's great like i'm so proud of you you already have a great career but suddenly because you're jen aniston's husband you're now getting leading roles in like blockbuster hits well also he was the third person to get that role oh well that makes me feel a little better he didn't get it right away but two people turned it down like he got it people pulled out and then he got it he was the third choice all right well he would have been the 33rd choice without jen so you're welcome justin you're welcome still don't know who he is okay um fine i'm with you yes high five i'm just

he is he is fine yeah everyone everyone is like oh jennifer is like so happy now that brad and angelina are bringing up and it's like no she's been happy for a while now she's been just fine honestly the reason i put this on is because i met him for the first time last week and i was always like poor jen i think she's still just trying to replace brad and then i met justin i was like jen doesn't care at all he's so cool he's super hot he had a ring that said jennifer on it oh that's weird i bet she makes him wear that though i know i don't know if she wait what does it look kind of i mean is it big like just like a little initial ring yeah it's cute it's like chunky scott has ring this is jack on it yeah of course he does oh my

try our nasty ass product. With the sole purpose of like getting a bunch of people to tweet about it. Even if it's disgusting. And it was like popcorn, pizza flavored, all of this shit. And we had to like evacuate the office. We literally all had to leave because it smelled that bad.

And it was lip stuff? Yeah. We opened it up and like the smell permeated the air. So thick that we all had to leave and i can't imagine what pickles smell like lip balm form one time starburst sent me like an entire office full of starburst that's good that's what i want it's like a really you know you're on the d-list when you get shit like that delivered to you starburst i take whatever as long as it's not popcorn pizza or that's where you that's where you draw the line yeah honestly i take anything too there was like for a while this one nail

company so sent me like eight nail polishes it's probably the same company oh yeah because we're both on the d-list yeah and then and then you were like i get gel manicures at pepper towns on melrose like i've never even painted my own nails but okay anyway it's the worst right matthew perry has an entire room dedicated to batman at his house surprising thing i've ever heard that's fine good for him it keeps him from like terrorizing the world in a different way then sure not that he's a terrorist is he like a pedophile no because if so that's upsetting that that was what you thought i meant well i mean but yeah i guess like why else would a grown man have like yeah it's i don't know michael jackson what's going

on at your neverland ranch i know that seems like a way to lure young kids in come see my i think people like batman yeah but okay do you collect anything you're a grown male I collect, no, not like Batman. What do you collect? That's so odd. Tell us. People's Choice Awards. Yes.

One. Award statues. Gotta start somewhere. No. I don't know. I collect like glassware, like drinkware. Me too. Yeah, because you're a normal adult.

Right. I have more mugs than I have like clothes. Yeah. Which is normal. That's normal, right? That's great. Jack? What?

No, it's weird. No, it's not weird. It's not weird, wine or fine. it's just wine or fine we both say wine wine he's a pedophile i say it's fine it's fine yeah and also a good friend to have if you need a costume for halloween okay tori spelling is pregnant with her fifth child becca wants to talk about it i can't there's a threshold you do we finally hit it after 43 episodes of the lady gang it's because i recently saw a family photo of theirs and that's all i'm gonna say okay i really don't know much about her is she's old like is it is that bad

you're the worst pop culture person she's not too old to have a baby but like five kids and i thought she's like peddling her like bed and breakfast is she i think that sometimes in hollywood they make this is my personal opinion it's fine tori live your life you do you hashtag Cheryl Burke but I think sometimes in Hollywood like the amount of people have told me like have a baby because then you'll get more famous like Hollywood loves two things

you having a baby and then you losing the weight really fast like four weeks later and being in a bikini by your pool like that's all Hollywood wants to talk about or not losing the weight for so long and then something we can constantly talk about right exactly I love that and so it's like such crap but I feel like the only thing she's going for anymore

is like really just being like a mom and having the babies which is great but she just can't stop now i'm happy for her live your life if you want to have five babies you want 12 babies fine i think it's fine because she's building up a full cast of 90210 just on her own the reboot many 90210 and she found something that she's good at yeah exactly having sex reproducing okay the last one there's a new trend that i saw at fashion week which is you do lipstick but then it's like glitter like it's just like yeah i would love everybody pat mcgrath world famous makeup artist did it you're just he's just getting that's like i don't know i don't i just whenever glitter is involved with anything it's

like okay this is getting cleaned out of a crevice for the next like two weeks just going down your butt crack somehow right i don't want to mix that with like more sticky gloss and do you want to be swallowing that? Also, how do you do anything with that? I'll refrain from answering that question. I don't want... I don't want to intentionally put glitter near my mouth.

That's all I'll say. Has it been near your mouth unintentionally? I don't know. Do the go-go dancers at the Abbey ever do body glitter? Because they were very close to my mouth. I actually haven't been to the Abbey. Ever?

No. No, because you're in New York. I'm a New Yorker, yeah. Oh. Well, what do you guys have there? Like, what's an awful piano bar? I know what you're talking about. I don't know what it's called.

Have you guys seen the show? He doesn't leave his house. He just gets drunk by himself. Like, I didn't want to bring it up again, but Matt probably doesn't have any more friends. You know what I mean? Right, right. It's true. Like, where do you come up for the idea?

And the Go-Go Boys I have in my apartment, I have no glitter allowed. The ones you hire, yeah. Right. That's good. That's a good rule. He's the boss. Jack? Becca?

I'm going to say, I'm going to say wine, but like fine if you're like, if it's Halloween makeup. I say, she just had two answers, so I'm going to also have two answers. I say fine for a photo, but wine, I don't know how the hell you're even supposed to talk with glitter on your face, mouth, or drink, or profound Jack, or kiss. I'm so glad we gave you two answers. It was really worth it. I feel good about it.

It was really worth it. I say wine. I hate the whole idea of it. And also, I used to really enjoy crafts. You used to? I mean, I still enjoy crafts, but I had to stop because my glitter exploded in my craft box. And now when I open the craft box, glitter's everywhere. And it is, you're right.

hard for you to decide to leave and start your own empire because that's hard because you had something great going and then but yeah yeah but you know like when they let prisoners go i can't wait i know that was just a separate that was such a separate observation but like what was the rest it was fun it was fun what was the metaphor you're trying to go for when they like you they let prisoners go and they open the gate and they're like they don't really run yeah they're like go do whatever you want and then the prisoner's like i don't know what do people do out here what do people do in the real world before yeah you're like so i just got my own chair and did basically what i did before and so i built my own prison

better one oh this is so good you guys okay so one time i didn't made up these questions how did you not think of it i didn't think about it listen to this you guys this is crazy okay so oh something you don't know about matt and i we have the same agent cool what's up ashley mills at caa you're a hooker she's listening she's listening right now she's in the lady gang facebook group she tries to make sure that i do everything pc anyway so okay so i lost a job once and they were like she doesn't have a big enough social media following so i hired an indonesian assistant off owork.com and i paid him twelve dollars like a day per hour i think to go on and leave comments like i'm paying a babysitter other people's instagrams because they said if

you comment on people's instagrams then they'll like your instagrams does that actually work i It worked. I got like five or six hundred new followers. And then I was like, I can't afford you anymore. And how long? Sanwar. His name was Sanwar. His name was Sanwar.

That is truly incredible and so sad. Yeah, well, Harry Styles wasn't enough. I wanted to impress Matt. There you go. You need to do something to bring me back down from Harry Styles kissed me and you're jealous. Wow. Since we've got our lives figured out so well, do you feel that, Matt? Oh, definitely.

Are we inspiring or what? my professional career is built on getting wasted by myself so not really but yeah i gotta figure it out he does hey ladies ask the lady gang okay welcome back every guy every okay welcome back every guy every guys everybody um before we start our ask the lady gang questions where you're gonna help us give all of our listeners the best advice ever yes if you guys want 20 off jackvanek.com you can use code lady gang for your order and i brought you two of my wine glasses that say sassy things and i feel like they're perfect for you oh my god so if you guys want to match matt

then go to jackmanic.com also if you guys have a question for us write in to theladygang.com and sign up for our newsletter okay are you ready yes first question comes from scarlet and she says hey ladies and boy i'm a somewhat socially awkward theater nerd starting her own theater company i love performing but one-on-one interactions are difficult for me any tips to help me be more comfortable and enthusiastic when approaching strangers. P.S. I have resting bitch face, which doesn't help my cause. I think we should give this one

to the guy who works alone in his apartment. Perfect person with a lot of experience. Just the answer. Definitely don't feel the same way when I'm starting my own theater company. I think I just do what I always do, which is

just start singing Les Mis from beginning to end and hope that they stop you at one point. And just they just come like flock to you. Right. Right. Just wait. Wait for the friends to build up. One day more. That's usually the part when they're

like, you got me. You got me. Sold. And now I have a new best friend. Yeah. Becca? I mean, I guess I'm socially awkward. I hate small talk. I absolutely hate it. like it hurts my soul and i definitely have a resting bitch face just in everywhere every

kind of face bitch face um you're just a bitch i'm just a bitch you know what it is here's the thing everybody when you when you move to la or when you start a new job or when you're doing anything and everyone's like network network network and then you're like i'm gonna do this like networking thing and then you go to all these things and for me it was going to events and blah, blah, blah, blah. And I realized that while I'm there, I am more miserable than ever. I hate everybody more and more and more.

And I leave there just feeling like, you know what, if this is what it takes, it's not worth it. Like, it's just not worth it. And so I think for you, just don't force it. Just, like, meet people. If you have a good feeling, keep it going.

If you're feeling awkward, get out. There's nothing wrong with being alone. Nothing. All the time. honestly people aren't that great yeah i would have to i don't think i've ever approached a stranger in my entire life because i also have like social anxiety on tinder i only i was gonna say the only time i've ever approached people is on the internet and it works for me i have friends so there you go join the lady grant gang group you can just yeah i mean i don't know if she wants

friends or if she wants work advice advice or no i honestly forgot the question when i started talking about myself you're drunk okay anyways we'll just move on okay so the next question comes from anonymous she says i've been with my boyfriend for about four years now and we live together recently i've been feeling like he's not the person i should be with we have major trust issues i recently discovered he's been snapchatting porn stars don't even finish this and i'm not even sure why or what but i know he did i don't know how you know that but is this relationship worth it he is not a bad guy but sometimes i feel like i deserve better no shit and i'm just settling because we have a house together what do i do

call your realtor girl i mean men are awful so you shouldn't have one in the first place a refund put it back men are awful so you shouldn't have one in the first place that's our new quote but i'm always astonished by the number of guys who don't realize that everyone can see what they're like liking on twitter and instagram and like all of the like there are people if you go to the following page on instagram they're just openly liking porn yeah i want to know everyone who is friends with you sees it can see that not that like okay we know you're disgusting to begin with you don't have to confirm it i just want to know what porn star accepted his snapchat request like who is okay with that i also think i want to really

focus on a sentence here he's not a bad guy but i feel like i deserve better girl anonymous and any other lady gang are listening if you ever speak or write the words he's not a bad guy but he's a bad guy out done because anyone that's a good guy you won't ever have to say he's not a bad guy but this is not good for you you deserve someone better so figure out i guess your house situation i mean i don't know how that goes can we just go to the good old days where boyfriends watched porn on their like tvs while you were in the room with them or not even like i'm totally fine if my fiancee is to look at porn online i don't think i think porn's one thing but i think if you're trying to talk that's the thing it's like everything's going too far yeah i got cheated

on by the real live porn site thing where it's a live camera where you jerk off in front of the camera so it's like a you call up a girl and you're like skyping with a prostitute through the computer and it's like one-on-one like they're like hey beau and someone ex cheated on you by doing that yeah weird i mean it's weird because like i don't know before the internet people it was like porn was one special real yeah it was like yeah you couldn't talk to them and now it's like oh we're we're friends on snapchat yeah so it is more like cheating here's what else i'm gonna to say guys standards are so high now because it's so interactive they believe they can have these hot girls but it's like these guys who look like shreds still are breaking up with their

girlfriends who aren't hot enough because they don't look like porn stars and it's like oh my god that girl's getting paid to pretend she likes seeing you jerk off yep yeah just and period all right our last question comes from alejandra and she says hi i'm a 17 year old college student and all of my life i've only had one boyfriend i know it may sound silly but i'm afraid to stay lonely because i feel that all of my friends have had at least three boyfriends and some of them aren't even virgins anymore please help i mean i'll start i i mean i've said this before i didn't lose my virginity till i was 23 and i didn't have a real boyfriend and my ex that kelty and i have shared i don't count that really as a real boyfriend until i was like 24 so 17 is super

young and you have your whole life out of your girlfriend. Yeah, and maybe you don't have a boyfriend because all the boys your age are idiots. Wait till they grow up a little bit, like 13 years. Wait, did she say she hasn't had any boyfriends or she's had one? She's had one and she's a virgin

and her friends have had boyfriends and are losing. She's scared to be lonely. She doesn't want to be the girl without a boyfriend. It's good. It's good. Like, we could go back to what I just said. Men are awful. it's fine it's fine if you don't have one they're gonna get worse food fills the same void if not more honestly more yeah yeah honestly some of my best relationships are with the people who

deliver food honestly grubhub man when i moved away from my first apartment i didn't even get to tell the guy i was leaving what guy was it he delivered seamless my indian food on seamless and which i got like three times a week and every time he would come and be like i put an extra rice pudding in for you and it was so special i love that story and then i moved and then i've never seen and then you guys broke up that was such a good he has no idea why he has no idea why oh you go you go it's his fault poor guy well he's probably listening so he's following your every move delivery guy whose name i never knew i'm sorry i'm sorry and i'll be back oh my god i mean 17 you're not going to be lonely forever that's all i have to say

there's really nothing else but i promise all the guys that they're dating suck anyways yeah and trust me all of them are losing their virginity and being like why did i do and listen 17 year old sex it's not good oh god i can't even imagine it's not good at all no i want to cry There's nothing.
