there you go i broke the rules i had two answers and now it's time for good week yes it is bad week oh no okay i'm gonna start because my good week is so good okay i was at the korean spa fave and there's always like very interesting characters there you know there's like old ladies they're yeah there's young ladies there's like fake boobs there's like boobs down to your knees Like there's, there's all shapes and, you know, forms of human and everybody just sort of coexists. It's kind of great. And everybody's naked.

You cannot be in a bathing suit, like absolutely buck naked. So I'm in the hot, this one Korean spa in particular has this big sulfur pool of water, if you will. And you get in it and it's, uh, everybody's naked and I'm just sitting there with my friend and we're sort of like whispering cause you have to be quiet. and then i look over across the little pool and there's only like five of us in there and there's an older woman with her um torso facing the wall like with her arms up like kind of resting and i'm like oh she's taking a nap no she was in front of a jet she's masturbating

she was totally getting it with a jet yeah could you tell yes was she like how could you tell number one you could see the jet was right below her creating like the bubbles the motion and she was like not like moaning but she was certainly like laying there just like just in heaven yeah i mean and what were your thoughts about it i died were you like gross or were you like this is my good week oh you're like get your life i wish i could do that right now i was just so like girl hot doesn't care shocked she she and she hadn't been like 60 years old oh good and she's still getting it you know it gives me hope that sex drive it's still there okay honestly the against the jet orgasm is pretty good i'm sorry what have you done that yeah of course

i have i have like a shower hut i don't know if i could do like in a spa yeah where have you done that kelty at the korean spa no i used to like uh live with a guy that had a pool and i'd like go down there by myself that sounds really sounds like a lot of effort sounds really really shady um here's my bad week um i went to uh yoga and i went to the bathroom to pee and there was no toilet paper when i go to yoga these days i don't wear underwear because my gyno was like stop going to yoga and wearing underwear because you're getting like you're gonna get like some infections or whatever yeast infections in your butthole if you will it exists oh my god yeah oh does it really yeah i can't even imagine how terrible that would be my friend had one

i was doing a lot of hot yoga okay no you had one my friend kelsey jesus sorry it was so anyways she said it was super itchy and she went to the gyno and she was also really scared i think that she had my friend was scared that she had pinworms oh yeah so like anyways And to find out you have pinworms, you have to put scotch tape on your butthole, go to sleep at night, take it off, and if there's little worms on the tape, then you have pinworms. There's no better way to do that than with scotch tape. I don't know, guys. This is just what my friend found researching it.

Anyways, moving forward. Neither here nor there. So now I don't wear underwear. I mean, now my friend doesn't wear underwear, and because my friend doesn't wear underwear, I don't wear underwear either, because I don't want to have that happen to me, like my friend and so i go to the bathroom there's no toilet paper and i'm in like gray-ish yoga pants they're not black and i'm like this is annoying i like drip dry as much as possible but i'm like in a hurry i'm going into class i get into class and i realize like a good 15 minutes into class

that there's a wet stain on my vagina because the i didn't wipe at all and my pee was staining my gray yoga pants so when i'm like lifting my leg and coming through to downward dog and all those people behind me thought i was a nasty bitch we did a lot of people's vaginas sweat but it was like a spot yeah it was hot but it was like you could probably sweat the rest of your pants through eventually but it was like so it was very prominent and there was no mistaking that it was urine on my pants so if you were behind me at core power i really i apologize that's amazing there we go jack how about you um okay so my bad week i'll do my good week first you know we always love finding like good punny words yeah yeah i found a new punny word what and i think

even talk about it gag orders up gag orders up Becca's hat is showing yeah I'm wearing my Al and Donnie were at the hotel we got married at, my baseball cap. That's so cool. Isn't it cool? That was such a cool wedding. It was fun. You probably already talked about it on the Lady Gang a million times. Not really.

Maybe once. We kept them on secret. What's your story? Tell us your memory. Tell us a secret. Well, the biggest thing about it, which is not a big secret, was we all got snowed in. So we got to spend an extra day there and played Clue. So I played Clue with some of the old Glee cast.

It was really fun. It was really fun. Did they have Clue at the hotel? They had it at the hotel, yeah. They had all these board games and puzzles. It was super cute. And you guys slept. You got in a van and got out of there somehow, didn't you?

She did. Me, Leah, and Kara, and Jesse all got in, and we rented an Uber like six hours to get it because we all had to work on that. How much did that Uber cost? $900. What? It was like $330 per couple. Oh, that's not that bad when you think about it.

And you drove six hours? Yeah, to Salt Lake City, and then we flew out that night. That guy was pumped on his paycheck that night. Well, he was super scary because he was like this crazy Russian. And like, you know Russians know about the snow. We always talk about crazy Russian Uber drivers on this show. Always. Do you think that's incorrect?

I don't. Yeah, don't do it. Don't do it. Racist. But it's just stating facts, right? I really don't mean to grill you, but I do want to start. What was your first impression of Becca Tobin? Oh, God.

Do you remember her audition tape? Do you remember her head shot? I thought that she was mean. Like in real life. Like furs in real life, which I kind of like, I have to say. But then you get to know her, and she's so great. Aw. Did you have any say in casting her?

No, I didn't have any say in it. No, no, no, no. Ryan Murphy picks everybody, but I loved her. I loved her from the get-go. And it was so much fun writing, you know, Kitty's dialogue, so. How much of Kitty's dialogue is actually just things Becca said to you? I'd say about 90%. and it's true if you haven't seen that in a while go to youtube and you can see like the best of

kitty wild all the time i love that you you refer to the best of kitty wild the best of kitty wild a lot does well the best of kitty wild sometimes isn't that funny it's just mean it's mean it's so like really mean kitty got nice though in season six she got a heart she got a heart she what happened frosted well all her friends left her and she was the only one left from her glee club class and she had to be friends become friends with like rachel and all those other kids i think i cried you cried i cried how do you cry on camera did you have that vising stuff they put in your eye no i actually cried she really did it what wait what you have emotions guys i'm an actress that you let out i don't know if you remember did you have to think about

something yeah of course i had to think about that but like i mean you've had to cry on camera right yeah but i definitely use like the ammonia water and stuff too i've done it i've done it both ways wait what's the ammonia water they spray like ammonia in your eyes so that they so they it hurts so bad that their waters do you remember the school shooting episode on glee oh sure brad beaker's episode and he they had to like visine or what the whatever the menthol blower too because they have that too where it's like you're blowing yeah maybe that's what it was maybe it's not ammonia but they were running around to all of us like it was crazy and everyone's like i need more water i need more water like before the cameras a bit like that's crazy i never knew i thought

you all were really crying all the time i thought that's what made a good actor and actor some people really can cry like yeah didn't you find that leah could always turn the tears on always anytime always yeah she's really good at it and on crazy ex-girlfriend donna lynn arrow who plays paula on the show she can cry on cue and she just says yeah it's just a technique i can just do it and she will she just boom wow i want to know that's like that is a good technique to have Okay, next question. Boy, we're just rattling through them. No, I will read this.

You don't know Kelty yet. Kelty's really a... I like to keep it on tap. She produces. She's good. Mr. Hitchcock, there were many rumors that the entire cast of Glee was all sleeping together. What can you say about this? And were you involved?

I was not involved. I have heard those rumors. What is true? I have heard many of them are true. Who is true? Oh, man. Have you guys talked about this either? No.

Not really. Who is true? I think Kord overslept with most of the girls. Did he sleep with you, Becca? Sure. I don't know if he slept with them. Did he make out with everyone? Did he make out with Jenna?

I don't know. Heather? See, before I got there was when they were really wild. Yeah, I think season one was, or season, yeah. When they got super famous super fast, they could only hang around each other. They were very incestuous. It got a little, yeah, it got a little nutty. and that was before

I acted on the show season one but I didn't start writing on the show until season three so who was the biggest whore the biggest whore

Jane Lynch no I'm kidding she's a pussy cat who was the most promiscuous oh probably

probably Cord okay yeah how promiscuous was Becca Becca wasn't at all no

you were a good girl did you hook up with anybody on Glee was Becca ever late to set I don't recall her being late to set. I won an award, I think. I think it was Angie, who was one of the production assistants.

Yeah, I think it was her. Her assistant director. And she told me one day that I was the only person who had never been late. Did you live close to your set? Yeah. For most of the time. Okay. Yeah, and there were late people.

There were people that would just literally sleep so late that our, like, transpo, these guys had to go to these people's houses and knock on their windows to wake them up. Do you get, like, a penalty if you're late? You're supposed to. You're supposed to. But you didn't. Yeah, I don't think they did. People don't get punished. I think they got into races.

I actually think the people I'm thinking about were making the most money. Of course. That's always the way it is. That's why they're late. They didn't give a shit. Now, Becca and Liev both talked about this. When they first met, they didn't like each other. But now they're BFF.

did you remember seeing any of that drama at the beginning yeah well i think i think the older cast the the the new ones kind of yeah they were i mean the old the the originals the ogs yeah they they it took a little while for some of them to like the other ones to warm up yeah was it hard what did you do to win them over like i just like shut up and did my job because like that's i don't know did it feel like high school oh beyond yeah that's it's weird yeah because you're around i mean all day long it's a it's a fake high school that looks real including that auditorium which is an exact replica of a real one in long beach so it looks so real and um yeah it was strange except it had most of them had no ceilings unless it had to and then they'd have fake ceilings so

it was yeah beyond weird it was weird and it was that way in the writer's room too i mean i think the first day of work ryan murphy went around the room and said what's your deepest darkest secret and we had to go around the room and tell him and then maybe i don't know like maybe three months later he forgot he even asked us he like does it again but yeah but that's but it works for like high school i'm not saying on a podcast but can we share caldi do we have time for him to share one of his deepest darkest secrets about a little place called the chateau marmont yes yes yeah oh boy this is very embarrassing um and it's never been told publicly we love embarrassing we break news here all right um it'll be on tmz tomorrow so

hold on for everyone that doesn't know chateau marmont is in la it's like a hotel that looks like a castle and it's full of celebrities institute hollywood institution like if you're going to the chateau it's like you're going to the plaza but like there's way more cocaine and like a lot of paparazzi and if you go there if you ever visit la that's a good place to go get a drink you'll see a star it is a good place that's a good one so tell us the last time or one of the times that you were there well oh becca so what happened i was i was on a tv show called the new normal and uh it was on nbc and we had what before the show premieres they have they have a very fancy table read in front of executives um and you have to do well at it so believe it or

there was a uh a pre-read at the chateau with the entire cast and ryan murphy so that everybody has read the script and those so anyway is this the show nancy nash was on uh yes okay not nancy no i like that no not nancy no nini nini leaks i'm sorry yeah um so and then ellen barkin and you know just a bunch of people so anyway i was on my way to it and it was raining and i was driving and i was almost late and anyway i this is so embarrassing i decided i needed to squeak out a little fart and wait this is this is on this is almost there this is two minutes till till chateau time and i i did a little more than that i had a little shart in my pants And so there was no time to turn around and go back.

There's no turning back now. There's no turning back. So I went to the Chateau. At the Chateau, it gets better. Chateau, huh? So this is, I didn't know what to do. So I went up to the room. It was done in one of the private rooms, which had a bathroom and a shower.

So I took off my underwear, hid it in the shower, and then proceeded to do the table read, you know, and just hope nobody smelled me and then how much shirt did you get well not enough that i not enough that you can see it okay no no no no yeah just enough to have a little there's no poo in my underwear on your there was nothing there was no brown stuff on the pants but there wasn't the underwear so i took them off and then after it was over i i got them out of the shower and took them home because i'm cheap oh my god you couldn't okay yeah so i'm literally sitting next to Ellen Barkin at a table read with no, no one. Yeah. Yeah. Hoping that she doesn't smell my poo. That was the beginning of that job. My favorite part is that Michael has literally been

working every day of his freaking life. He's like one of the most successful accomplished actors I've ever met, but he's always on the verge of going broke. So only you would hide and not throw away the pair of underwear well yeah they're like 20 bucks or something that's i'm gonna throw away 20 plus honestly that would be so mean for the maid to go into the shower and there's wrap it in toilet paper and put in the trash yeah but i couldn't put in the trash before the table because somebody would see my underwear in the trash bin so i hid it it's not yours well but we were the only ones in there i mean we were it was rented out one of the hotel rooms so it's like whose underwear is in the

trash. Oh, Michael. The Chateau Marmont. Yeah, it was the Chateau Marmont that day. Oh, thank you for sharing that.

It's a great story. That's incredible. It's a safe place. Becca, you're the only one who could get me to say that. I love that. Don't worry.

It's just hundreds of thousands of people listening. Okay, before we go to break, I know that you work on the crazy, wildly successful Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

with our love of our life, Rachel Bloom, and I just want to put this out there. Rachel, where are you? We've asked Rachel like nine times to go on the podcast, and

every time we see her she's like yes and then when i ask her reps her reps are like she's so busy i don't believe you rachel come on the podcast she is really busy because she co-created the show she writes the show we still don't believe it well if someone cares about you they'll always pick up the phone okay she'll do it she's not that into us she's not that into us and it hurts our feelings anyway um but i want to know each one of us what is your crazy ex moment crazy when Because you act the craziest. I've had a lot of crazy dates, if that's what you want to call it. No.

This is like when you get dumped and then you go stalk them and keep a lock of hair and make a wig. Oh, what have I done? Yeah. What kind of crazy ex-girlfriend have I done? Or whatever. Sabotaging their nuke relationship. It's kind of boring.

Probably just texting. Oh, that's so boring. Yeah, it is boring. I never keyed a car or any of that stuff. Becca? I wish I did. I don't know. I feel like we've been asked this question.

I feel like we've been asked this before and I can't. Well, it goes on the theme, crazy ex-girlfriend. No, I know, I know, I know. Just play along. Can we talk about maybe crazy things our exes have done to us? Okay, okay. Changing the scripts. Really hard on my heart.

I know. I'm sorry. I don't have a crazy or me thing either, so. What? Oh, you have to. We're so stable here. Yeah. We're very well-balanced women.

I just internally destroy myself. That's true. I'm trying to think of the craziest thing someone else has done when I've broken up with them. Here, I'll... Oh, you got one? Do you know yours? Take it.

I'm thinking. Go. okay so there i hope i haven't already told this because we did have this conversation like a year ago um so i was dating i was kind of sleeping with i was sleeping with this guy in a band like 10 years ago and i had like gone on tour with him and like we're we're riding around in his van whatever i left a pair of shoes in his van and we had this huge blowout and i'm like i never want to speak to you blah blah blah never gonna see you again he texts me uh like a couple days later he's like hey i have your shoes i want to bring them to you and i'm like well you live in

boston i live in california like you don't need to bring them to me that's okay i don't want to see you a couple days later he texts me he's like hey i'm in california i have your shoes i want to bring them to you i'm like no not giving you my address whatever one night i wake up at like one in the morning from a text from him just saying ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha and i was like what the hell is going on he's like i'm on your roof right now no and i was like oh my god or i don't know if he said i'm on your floor i'm gonna get on your roof there's something about getting on my roof and i had my friend that was living with me go and i'm like go lock the gate to our house we live in a big house lock the gate i don't want this guy getting in she goes to go to lock the

gate and she comes out and she's like your shoes were just like shoved in the gate like at eye level like two daggers and i never told him my address no you didn't care if you lost them they were like platform birkenstocks of course they were that is crazy that's creepy but i never told him my address he found my address from one of my friends and just like at one in the morning just like shoved my shoes in a freaking gate i had a crazy ex-boyfriend when i was like 17 he had a blue mini truck when i was growing up it was like in high school and we dated for a minute and then we broke up and he was like obsessed with me it's my favorite story to tell actually i've never told somebody he was obsessed with me and he would like follow me like down the

street in his truck and then one day he like grabbed onto my shoulders and he wouldn't let me go and i had to get a like restraining order and like i've always been scared of him but recently i looked him up on facebook and i just because i would i always do that to myself yeah I was curious. And I'm very happy it didn't work out with you, men with a blue truck. Wow. He's gross. I just thought of something.

Tribal tattoo gross, guys. No thanks. No thank you. I just realized something. When I was in the fourth grade, so there's a thing. You got dumped. I think it was considered a dump. And we've talked, like every single episode almost, we talk about how I've never been

dumped. but i think in the fourth grade i was dumped and i'm pretty sure that this is this is what happened this guy had like a bounce house in his backyard oh my god he was he was my boyfriend at the time and i got a call from his friend letting me know he no longer wanted to see me anymore he lived in my neighborhood meanwhile the guy that dumped me he's now the head coach for the rams oh damn he's like the youngest coach in history the one that got away becca yeah sean anyway his he let his friend do his dirty work which i think he's probably still doing now you have been dumped i think i've been dumped and what was that had to do with the bouncy house okay get

ready so i knew that he had a bouncy house in his backyard and that that's what they were doing because blake probably called me from the bouncy house like out of breath being like sean doesn't want to see you anymore bounce bounce i put on this new pair of white bell-bottom pants that i had hell yeah and this is like the summer of fourth grade girls wear like jean shorts and flip-flops that's the extent of like a fourth grader's wardrobe i don't know about these days but then i remember being like these are hip like so tight and i'm so slutty and i put on my no bell bottoms i don't think i could wear underwear because they were so thin the material and i didn't have pubic hair yet so you couldn't see through them to my pubic hair

so just walked on over there with my girlfriends and i like stood outside and i was like eat your heart out sean you're not getting in this bounce and then blake was like outside the bounce let's be like what are those pants that's amazing oh god so there you go all right well on that great discovery becca tobin has in fact been dumped when we come back we are going to play the best in show quiz yes oh boy each each okay what's going on now here's the lady gang okay we're back executive producer coke am i a Co-EP now? Yes.

That was a great break. It was a great break. Are you going to buy everything we just talked about? I'm going to buy everything. Get it all. Okay, so since, has anyone in this room not seen Best in Show? Jack, have you seen it? I haven't seen it in a long time.

It's the dog one, though. You remember, right? It's the dog one. It's freaking brilliant. It's so damn good. It is freaking brilliant. Okay, so what I decided to prepare for you today, Mr. Hitchcock, is the Best in Show quiz, which we will be voting on which show beats for the top dog.

Wait, I have a best-in-show question that I don't think I've ever asked you. All right. This is not part of the plan. You and Parker Posey played a couple. That's right. And you both had braces. That's right. Did you every single day, like, how do you do braces for television?

Well, it was a movie. I mean, sorry. Yeah, it was a real movie. It was real. Not a movie for television. Low-budget film. Real life. I'm sorry.

Actually, what's really, really weird about all that, Christopher Guest's offices at that time was in this building. Oh, the one we're in? Yeah. This was his office. Castle Rock had their offices in this building, this very fancy Beverly Hills building. It's full circle for you right now. What do you think about that? I don't know what you're talking about.

We're at brunch right now. Oh. Well, in Beverly Hills in a building. Christopher Guest had a brunch. We're at brunch. He loves brunches. So that's where we met. But what did you do with your –

But anyway. How did you do your braces? Uh, they were, they were made by an orthodontist in LA and Parker's were real because she had a, like a tooth she wanted to correct. Mine, I had braces as a kid, so I didn't need braces, braces, but mine were on retainers. So I had a lower and an upper retainer and I still have them there at home in one of my drawers. Will you send us a picture of you wearing them?

Amazing. Thank you. We love Instagram. That's exciting. Okay. Okay. Back to our planned, scheduled, executive. Sorry.

Okay. Here we go. Best in show. this is us or my so-called life i refuse to watch this is us because i heard it was too sad me too but i love my so-called life so okay i'd have to say this is us just because good for them it's a network show it's doing good my so-called life jordan canelato forever wow three against one bachelor or bachelorette neither oh yeah i don't know i don't watch them either i i did meet one of the bachelors, though.

I can't tell you which. He was a Navy doctor. Was he mediocre looking with just a little bit of money? That's usually what they are. This guy was really good looking. He lived in Hawaii and he was a Navy doctor,

but if you didn't know that, you would have thought he was the stupidest person in the world. Wait, was it the doctor that's now on the doctors? Oh. Maybe.

It was the hot doctor. He was hot. Travis. Travis used to live next door to me. Oh, yeah, cool. You really missed out on some guys in your life.

He wouldn't look twice at me. he never checked me out I think he's gay but that's what I say allegedly yeah they're all gay Jack Bachelor

Bachelorette Bachelor because the women are freaking insane the dresses everything about I agree Bachelor

okay Glee or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend oh come on that's mean I didn't come up with this question Sophie's Choice

well Crazy Ex-Girlfriend of course what rude because it's a fantastic show currently paying him Golden Globe Award winning.

So was Glee. Yeah, you're right. I love both. Nope. For very different reasons. I love rules. You have to pick one or the other. Well, if then the rule is Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

Becca, is it bad if I say Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? Yes. No. I have to say Glee. Okay. Jack? Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. You're going to be so mad at me.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I think it's so great. Well, that's fine. Here's what I'm going to say about Glee. Glee won. What season did you start on? Season three you started. four four yeah right never mind beginning to like your first season i loved and then it just got

like we were singing karaoke like there's no rhyme or reason for the songs being it was just like we just want to sing adele this so once becca was on it started sucking no it's true like when i started i didn't when they went to new york that was hard i mean and and to like be fair nobody liked saved by the bell the new class 100 you don't like you don't feel the same way about... Weren't most of the characters still on it from the beginning? Yeah, a good amount. A good amount, yeah. And then some had

limited... They'd come in for a few episodes. Honestly, though, I thought you were crazy talented. You were fantastic. Well, thank you. Now, Becca is crazy talented. Just go to YouTube. You don't even have to go to the Best of Kitty Wild. You can just look at some of the numbers.

You're crazy. Thanks, guys. I haven't worked in two years. That made me feel better. you need that validation every once in a while yeah i feel good yeah okay here we are best in show seinfeld or kirby enthusiasm jack me this is hard curb why because it's larry david on screen and i get to see his face creepy it's super hard i mean but seinfeld's a classic i'd probably say for that i'd say curb is snarkier i like that it is but i mean seinfeld is amazing it's okay michael michael i need to talk to you for a second i already said which one i like the best curb kelty you're always

a little bit shady in your answer i need you to be more direct well i'm just i'm shaking like it was really great but seinfeld was great too i don't know first of all how dare you i'm your guest and you're treating me like a pilot you know what she's a bit like a shark in the chateau Marmont. The Chateau Marmont. I'm going to go with... No, we need to become clear. No, he said Curb. Okay, fine. This brunch has nothing but a couple of jelly beans.

We're pumped! You told me we were having a brunch. Buy our barbs! He's really ragging on our spread here. And also, for the record, there are sour watermelon candies mixed in. No, I ate them all. They're all gone. I ate them all. I haven't eaten today. Says the guy who eats

Trader Joe's cheese. That's true. Trader Joe's cheese is good. I'm not knocking it, but Michael said when he was in the writer's room of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, what was it? You hide your cheese? Yeah, I'm a snacker. And I hide, or I did, I hid until I got caught, slices of Trader Joe's cheese on my leg under the table.

Were you warming them up or something? No, it's just like I didn't want them on the table so people didn't know that I ate all the time. So I just hid them. You just put them on your leg? I put them on my leg. How did you get them, transport them from the table to the leg? You know, you kind of palm them in your hand and pretend, you know. It works really well.

Everyone can see you. Well, not if you're sneaky. And then someone, the writer next to me did see. That's like an eating disorder of some sort. It has to be. Well, the eating disorder is, yeah, it's just that I eat anything. Okay, back to the story. Hold on.

It's been too long that I'm fat. Becca. Yes. Seinfeld or Curb? I'm going to go with Seinfeld. because I love Julia Julia

I loved her okay America's Next Top Model or Project Runway Project Runway I don't are either of those still on the air

yeah I watch Project Runway I like it I was on Project Runway last year because I'm super famous that's why you like it yeah 100%

he's looking at you like he might need to know who you are we have to hear about that not as a model not as a model Not as a designer. I just introduced a challenge.

That's so cool. But I wasn't cool enough to be a guest judge. It was just an introduction of a challenge. That's all right. I stopped watching after Christian Siriano won. It was a while ago. Oh, he was good. That was like in the 90s.

But I like that better than Top Model. Okay. Jack? I don't really care. I mean, meh. Cool. Meh. It's not an answer.

Well, no, that's not an answer. Yeah. You have to answer. Thank you, executive producer. Jack. Right? It's almost time for a break. Oh, my God.

America's Next Top Model I guess because it's the only one I ever watched okay Fame or Moulin Rouge ugh Fame for me

Fame Fame 100% but Moulin Rouge so good do you guys remember the remake with Jamie Presley oof

that was hard but like I've never wanted to be someone so badly Jamie Presley was like the dancer do you know what I'm talking about

no it was the Carrington girl from So You Think You Dance no I'm talking about like there was Fame the movie and then they did

Fame the television show oh with jamie presley but then they did fame the movie again and then fame the movie again but like that nobody cared about that too many things the tv show jamie presley was like i could have gone lesbian for her oh wow the guy that sings dogs in the yard is now a director and he directed glee oh i can't think of his name off top of my head again not part of the quiz oh wow he's saying it in the original movie yeah i know exactly who you're talking about and he used to direct on er Yeah, but it's not part of the game.

It's not. We'll talk about it later. Thank you. Titanic or Love Actually? Love Actually. Titanic is just such a buzzkill. It's so sad. I'm never in the right state of mind to watch Titanic.

It really does depress me when I watch it. It's horrifying. And I also just the whole time I think Rose could have scooted the F over for Jack. They didn't try hard enough. No. Right? It was like not really a – like they didn't even try. That's a really a love story when you're just going to let your partner die.

Like, I'll never let go. Bye. Well, I'd have to say Titanic, but because love actually is just, like, painful to get through for me. But Kathy Bates, like, for some reason had a tuxedo that fit Leo. That made no sense. Yeah, I remember that. But didn't she just, maybe she just bought it at the casino store on the Titanic.

Like, it's Vegas. It's the gift shop next to the Cheetos. I mean, that was a fancy ship. My grandmother thought everyone went to hell that was on the Titanic because they were playing cards. What? Hey, Grandma. my grandma is she from beaumont where they don't dance either she was from kind of she's from ohio

and she was wait you're she believed that people couldn't play cards she thought it was a sin yeah it was gambling that's even all the children in that died what about the dogs maybe the children though maybe not they went to heaven and everybody probably went to heaven but without their parents because they're playing cards that is amazing um you know i'm related to the unsinkable molly brown the real one she was a tobin oh that's so cool claim to fame thank you why is michael the only one impressed by that yes her maiden name was tobin oh it sounds like a brown molly brown got off the titanic and yeah and then became like a zillionaire so yeah well i don't know who that is that's our way she was played by debbie reynolds in the movie of the

same name debbie who you know we all know about debbie reynolds she didn't play the unsinkable oh the other yeah yeah yeah the movie about the end of the mall Molly Brown sorry I'm so bored can we move on

sure wow alright I'm bored of your attitude Best in show Fallon or Kimmel oh for I know

that's easy for me okay Kimmel hands down I like Kimmel because he's obsessed with The Bachelor I like Kimmel too

I mean I like Kimmel because mmm they're both good though they are both good like I but I think Kimmel more really answer is that a scientific answer becca i think so

slightly i think you at least it's not carson daly that's all carson daly he's like a cockroach like he cannot die i know but i give not actually die but just his career i have an amazing story so once i'm not part of the game i've never seen becca so happy in my life she must really like you No, I'm interrupting my own game to tell you a story. I was in a meeting once with some people that worked on The Voice, and they literally were like, yeah, we know Carson isn't good, but when we launched the show, we needed someone with musical cred,

and he was the only one available. How would you like that? He somehow just does sneak himself in to being relevant forever. It's good for him, and I have heard he's a nice guy. I think he sounds super nice. I guess you'd rather have a super nice guy get the job than Ryan Seacrest. last one Harry Potter

or Lion King oh I've never seen Harry Potter those are so not even related what I know

but they're both fun times I just can't wait to be king as like one of my favorite songs oh my god me too

Jonathan Taylor Thomas it used to like serenade me when like when Jafar I'm sure I pleasured myself to that song

wait he was Jonathan Taylor Thomas was Simba he was the yes what yes how'd you not know that

I didn't know that did you know that that's an no thank you I didn't know it either but no No, but I'd have to say if we're going to do – I like Harry Potter better.

I do too. Me too. Only because I hate that Hakuna Matata song. I hate it so much. Hakuna Matata? That's what – Are you over the edge? Yeah.

Well, it sounded like Hebrew. I'd rather see children ride around on brooms. Understandable. On that note, when we come back, we're going to figure out your lives. You're welcome because we're great. Hey, ladies. Get funky. Ask the Lady Gang.

And we're back. Before we start, ask the Lady Gang if you guys want 20% off of jackbanic.com. Use code LADYGANG and get yourself some sassy thangs. Yeah. Okay. This is a really good Ask the Lady Gang. I'm really excited about it. It's time.

Becca, it's time. I'm so excited. Have you listened to our podcast before? Do you know what we do? Say yes. Yes, I have, but I'm not sure what we're doing next. So basically our- Usually there's someone here who has so many rules.

So I have to, you know, sometimes I have to, like, put myself in the corner. And just a little time out with a dunce cap. Yeah. Correct. So our listeners are writing in their life's biggest questions, and we're giving them advice. Great. So don't screw it up. The lives of millions of women depend on you.

All right. And a man for our first question. Okay. Okay, our first question comes from Man Bun. He says, I know you probably won't read this, but it's worth a try. and man bun we're reading it and i hope that you wanted us to talk about this on the podcast but man bun could be a lady we know who it is we know who it is oh i really hope kelty has a man bun today it's cute it's a little top knot man bun okay man bun says you may know me as man bun from

macy macy jones is a follower listener and frequent caller on the lady gang this past fall we have P.S. man bun, we don't take collars. Thank you so much. Just going to put that out there. First time collar. First time collar because we don't have collars. This past fall, we had a conversation about letting each other move on since we no longer lived near each other.

Recently, however, we had a conversation where we revealed how much we actually care about each other as we care about each other much more than the other realized. In light of that revelation, I'm trying to rekindle the relationship, but thinking I had moved on, Macy had started seeing someone else and is now extremely emotionally confused. I'm not asking you to reach out or plead on my behalf. I hope this is okay.

I just wanted to let you know where I stand and how I feel on the chance that she reaches out to y'all for advice. Macy is the most amazing girl I have ever met and I hope you guys give her whatever advice will lead her to happiness regardless of what that might be. I just had a fantasy of Man Bun

doing this same, them getting back together like they should, Macy. listen to us yeah and him in like five years doing the same thing to propose oh what on the lady gang us to propose for him yeah yeah because macy listens every week we love macy she's an og lady ganger and remember when macy was so excited about meeting man bun and she's like look how hot he is and she was tweeting us yeah and then they did the they did the jack yeah they did the jack my advice to man bun is chop off the man bun nobody think that's stupid they're younger so It's kind of cute.

They're like, I don't care if they're younger. They look dumb. At least put the hair down. He hates a man bun. All right. Remember? Oh, no.

I don't mind a man bun. But here's the thing. But, Macy, I don't know. Go for it. You know, sometimes it's good to move on. Macy's not the one writing this advice. It's the guy that wants her to not move on.

That's what I'm telling her. I'm telling that to Man Bun, too. Man Bun, you might find a new Macy in your new town. Maybe her name will be Tracy or Macy. Man Bun, can I say this? i want i want to just tell you something i don't know how it's going to work out for you and macy but if she does not go back to you don't ever stifle your feelings of letting people know that you care about them and you think they're incredible because just because you've reached

out to this girl and you've been like you're the most incredible woman i've ever met i want to be with you and if she denies you don't then turn into like a voldemort you know what i mean like this is a good quality to have as a man someone who can communicate and someone who can tell someone how much they need them. With a balance. Don't be too big of a pussy. Maybe the lady gang could post Man Bun's photo on your website. And get him a new girlfriend.

I think we wait to see what happens between Man Bun and Macy. I like where you're going with that. I think if Macy doesn't take on this, this is like a very noble thing for him to do and I commend him for that because a lot of men wouldn't.

And Man Bun, I have no... I'm sorry for saying your Man Bun looks stupid. You don't have to apologize. I'm a chubby man who sharts. You don't have to apologize at all. So you've got it all over me any day of the week. Anyway, let's keep going. I hope it works out, man bun.

Yeah. He's so cute. I hope he does too. But I get it. Macy's super cute. Macy's a babe. Macy's a hot babe. She's a catch.

She is. All right, but man bun, I'm really rooting for you. Can one of you let us know the status of your relationship? Yeah, Macy, if you give him up, then he's going to find another hottie. Yeah, because we're going to find him a hottie. Macy, think about that. You're going to lose him. the thought of him with another woman perhaps another lady ganger is that against the coven

it is no but is that gonna is that gonna destroy you yeah yes it is this is an ultimatum macy listen this guy could turn around and be the head coach for the rams one day think about what you're risking the one that got away all right our second question comes from candace she says this message is specifically for kelty but jack and back i can definitely give their two cents kelty of course you chose this question honestly i choose the best questions and i thought this was a good question okay even though it is just for me yeah that's cool a few weeks ago i saw your results from the bbg program i'm a teacher and after a long and tiring day at school i can usually talk myself into just i can usually talk myself into just going home and

watching dawson's creek on netflix love you candace interesting choice i guess my question for you is when did you start seeing slash feeling results this can be physically and mentally and how do you know when to give yourself a little break and what advice would you give me or any girl just starting the program the bbg is this app on your phone that every day it gives you like a workout correct don't talk about it anymore because she needs to pay us if we do she's not paying us she's not paying me but she should be um i will say this so i grew up and i was real skinny and then in my 20s i kind of like puffed out and i had like weight issues at my job where they're like trying to fire me and then i got really skinny after that and then you know so i've kind

have been like up and down but always like thin you know did you ever eat cheese off your leg no but i've definitely like ordered a whole block of cheese you know you're in trouble when that's and like eating a whole bite cheese that's a trouble yeah yeah that's a bad here's what it was is every day i would put on my clothes and every day i would like look in the mirror and i think it was like tenfold because it was on the television and i would be like oh like i just don't know if i like like the way i look but more than that it was like i didn't really like my whole vibe like I was kind of sad and I was super lethargic and I was like the person going home and just like laying on the couch and staring at the ceiling and I decided to start working out

with my makeup artist and we go every day at 11 and we I think the biggest key to success is to have a workout partner like if that's one thing I could say is like make someone that it wants the same things you do has the same schedule that you do that you can every single day because there's some days I come to work and I'm like I cannot work out today and Rebecca's like let's go and there's some day she's like, I'm so tired. I've been up. So I'm like, let's go. You always feel better after you work out. And after like six or eight weeks, I started seeing results and then you get addicted to the results. You're like, wow, I feel so strong. I look so incredible. Like when I first started, there's this move where you lift like 10 pound weights over your head

and then you jump down and then you do a pushup on the weights and then you jump back up. I could do like two of those and I was about to pass out and now I'm so strong and I can like really do them. So just keep going. I have something to tell you. You're boomerang today of your pushups and jumping up my push-up was so bad it was so bad that was not a push-up no that was like demi plie it was so i literally the problem was that way i couldn't do the entire exercise because there wasn't enough time in the boomerang tomorrow i will post another one i want you to prove how strong you are from the bbg program i'm not buying it it truly was terrible but make sure here's another pointer for me someone who hates people make sure that person you're working out

with every day is someone you actually want to hang out no totally and i will tell you one of the games we play so there's like this one move where you have to jump and then do this other thing and like every time we do a jump one of us has to say the dirty word that comes to their brain so we like play all kind of games so i'll be like i'll be like taint ball sack we like make up games that's fine to like keep it fresh and like we visit and gossip and like and we like we have playlists and we just make it a thing and now we're like in it together and i will say the best thing about this whole thing is just kind of like liking yourself a little bit yeah you can do what i do just buy a bigger belt i know i have nothing to say hold on can i show you that i can

do a real push-up though oh fine go okay keep going in the meantime one two three don't lie for her she hasn't even started i'm watching her that's a push-up okay that wasn't even a jump oh okay the jump sucked but the push-up was okay the push-up was okay really good okay our last question she's jealous because she can't do a weighted burpee push-up jump

yeah right I can do one-armed push-up really? yeah do it right now how with your hyperspended elbow

do it right now I told you that I was a competitive gymnast I have so many gold medals this is a podcast and you guys

can't see anything but I am gonna snap a picture so we can Instagram it here we go Becca Tobin in

hold on and go and video and go to oh nice I wasn't going

here we go go oh yeah well you are oh yeah you do look very athletic over there thank you what a weird brunch we have okay next question we got way off track i hate it last question comes from ella ella says i got pregnant my senior year and maybe married the baby daddy we've been married for four years but things have been really rocky lately one day he'll be obsessed with me and the next day he's telling me that he hates me over the most trivial the most trivial things i don't know what to do anymore i hate that my son sees our crazy fights and i love his daddy very much what do we do

michael uh tell him to put down the meth pipe right it sounds very bipolar yeah oh i don't know that's if he's yeah that sounds pretty bipolar that may be time well try to get counseling if you can you can afford it and if you can't try to find a counselor that does um you know sliding scale because i think it's good to have a ref on those kind of situations They're trying to work it out. 100%. I agree. I also want to know, is there anyone that we know with small children that isn't losing

it right now? All of my friends that have babies five and under, the relationships are a mess. I think it's... Well, the one thing you should try to do is not be fighting in front of your son. I don't know how old our son is, but if you can somehow be civil enough to keep that private, then that would be, I think, your first move. Yeah. I would say counseling.

And yeah, therapy. And maybe get him to go on his own, too, because he's clearly going through some stuff. And maybe he'll be medicated, and it'll be easier. And also, you don't have to stay with him just because he was your high school baby daddy marriage. That's right. It's okay. There's no shame in your game if you're like, this is actually not the person for me, even though it is my baby daddy. It's okay.

Abuse is abuse. If it's getting bad, get out. Yeah. You're clearly very young, because what was that, four years ago you were a senior? Yeah. You have your whole life ahead of you. 100% and you get really cool
