Hey guys, the following podcast is a Lady Gang Network and Podcast One production, which means it's going to be awesome. 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, and welcome to the Lady Gang. I am Becca Tobin here with Jack Vanek and Kelty Knight. Hello. Hi, guys. I've probably, both my good week, oh wait, we're not even there yet. I'm not there yet.

Okay, but I just want to preview, both my good week and my bad week have to do with one of you. Oh, one of you is my bad. I can't tell you. How about I'm bad? I'm hiding my notes, so you can't tell. All right. Well, in that case, it's time for...

Good week. Yes, it is. Bad week. Oh, no. Healthy going. I'm going last, because I want the suspense. You're going last. You want the suspense or no?

All right. That's fine. Sure. No, I'll go first. Okay. Okay. Good week. Jack Vanek is officially too old to audition for Love Island.

Why? How old do you have to be? They are currently casting, and you have to be 28. Are you sure? I'm... Oh, for the American one. For the American Love Island that you love so much. You're too old.

Good thing I wasn't trying to go on it. But that's actually kind of an ageist, I will say, because the UK one, there are people that are like 31 on it. I also think that the older women get... The crazier they get. But the girls that are on The Bastard right now that are 31 and they're considered cougars, which I am very offended by, are the craziest. Because you get to that place and you are desperate. Yeah.

One of the girls is like she got yelled at by like a 23-year-old and she started crying. I'm like, girl, I understand. Anyway, sorry, Jack. Love Island. I was really planning on auditioning. I thought you might want to. Okay. So I'm the bad week.

Yeah. Cool. I like how your Good Week is trying to crush my dreams. Well, so it kind of was. Okay, so. Becca is the most famous member of the Lady Gang, which we know. Yeah. And recently, People Magazine did this entire huge roundup of the best celebrity closets ever.

And it was like, Lisa Vanderpump, Chloe's purse closet. And then, like, down at number 14 is Becca Tobin's closet. What? What? you're it's the interview i arranged for people's style and you're in my closet in the photo yes well i don't even have a closet the thing that i was into you were in it they didn't put me or you in it only becca's closet they thought that the photo was in my closet and they're like look at becca's beautiful closet filled with high fashion she wears on the carpet or whatever

if i had a publicist right now i'd be like sorry they must have pitched that but i don't so they just picked it up on their own that's amazing unbelievable i want you to send me that link that's exciting i will anyway you're like it's like lisa vanderpump chrissy tegan like all these like amazing housewives in their closets and then it's you in my closet wow so it was my good week well well except it's not because it's not my closet which is the bait of my existence my own closet all right well i'll do my good week bad week okay um my bad week my next door neighbor has this really beautiful white german shepherd her name is sarah and she recently got out and escaped from her fence and he was frantically searching the neighborhood we all were there

were spottings of her like it was like watching like a very sad like what is it police chase but like on next door where people like i saw her on crescent today but she's so skittish that she doesn't come to people so she's like scared she's like running away yeah and they're like he's like my worst fear is that she a stays out too long that she gets she doesn't eat or drink and dies or she gets hit by a car whatever so she's like missing and i just go on hikes every day and i'm like i mean just looking for this dog because the thought of losing orly is terrible my worst nightmare yeah and knowing they're out there and you can't do anything about it like i don't know how you sleep at night right or stop looking or stop looking so it was days so this happened

four days ago they found her no that's my good week oh they found sarah she was by the chateau her name is sarah how far is that from their house so it's like so she's fancy she fancy so he's my next door neighbor so the chateau is like it's not close it's not close she definitely like two miles something found her a family that lives over there was she chipped um she's chipped and they had seen i guess on next door and there's this speaking of dogs and and there's this app called paw boost if anybody loses a dog it's like amazing you go on there and it's the database for your city and like if you lose a dog or if you find a dog so all these people are posting and matching up but she was sarah was found that's so cute thank god sarah we missed

you also really funny name for a dog i love it sarah sarah no age it's such an average like just human name it's very average yeah it's so good is that did you have a bad week the bad week she's missing oh it was a combo got it okay my good week is i follow um this account this comments by celebs or whatever and it'll just give roundups of like celebs commenting on each other's instagrams right and i have to say i have fallen in love with gwyneth paltrow she's amazing because she is so funny and savage as hell on instagram what do you mean she'll comment just really like raunchy sexual shit on like and she it's a lot of like a meme accounts that she'll like comments on being like oh blah blah blah blah i gagged my husband last night with this or

no really like off-brand comments and i love her for it because you like look at her and you think she's all like prim and proper and like together like all perfectly she's down to she's down to fun. She's DTF. DTF. She is very DTF. So I love her. Okay. My bad week is half a question and poll. So the other day, this is against the rules, but it's a bad week, but then I'll, it'll explain it. She's curious about it. So the other day, Jared and I were taking a shower and while we were taking a shower, I realized that he cannot stand hot water. Like he takes a very lukewarm shower and then i went to think about i haven't taken showers with many men because i think it's a very intimate thing to do so it's like only been boyfriends or people i seriously

date yeah every single well i don't know who takes like a shower with a one-night stand or like somebody you want to hop in the shower i don't know it's weird but then i want to think and every single guy that i've dated that i've taken showers with can't stand hot water and is this a male thing that men just can't stand like they think it's painful no zach likes hot water he does because i've talked about this with like a few of my friends and it's the same thing where they're like my boyfriend can't stand a hot shower either he takes like a very lukewarm shower and i think that most men have such low pain tolerances that they think it's like jared thinks i take like a scalding shower i do take a scalding i'm like beet red when i get out of

showers the plumber came to my house because i had a plumbing problem and he was like yo your water heaters turned way up like scald guard off do you want me to turn it down i was like nope that's exactly my temperature same like i like a hot shower burn i like that layer hot when i get out me too that's why because i hate getting out of a lukewarm shower and then you're freezing and wet yeah not the not the best but yeah i like kind of discovered that i'm like well men can't deal with pain at all that's why you need two shower heads oh with different temps do you have that No. No.

Because we both like hot showers. And I live in a 1,200 square foot house. So there you go. That's true. All right. Coming up, someone who probably takes hot baths together with her guy. It doesn't make sense. I don't make sense.

She's coming up. I was very confused. Now back to the Lady Gang. Our guest today rose to fame and got her start on American Idol. But did you know that she can sing to you in five languages? Yeah. She's already too good for us. But there is more.

With a mother from Mexico and a father from Iran, you would think this worldly beauty would be smart enough not to drink the water in a foreign country. But no, she drank the water in the DR and woke up with an engagement ring on her finger from her longtime love, singer and songwriter Miguel. Stealth mode on Miguel, by the way. 10 out of 10. In the fall, these two were married and no big deal. Vogue covered the wedding. See, still too good for us. But she's not just a wifey.

In addition to performing since she was three years old, she has her own swimsuit line, is an actress, dancer, singer, and model, and is the only person in the world who can rival our Jack Vanek for a vacation bathing suit pick. You're way better. She can be seen modeling for everyone from Smashbox to Good American. Please welcome to Lady Gang Nazanin Mandy. You just recently posted the most epic flashback photo for American Idol, which I didn't even know about. Yes. Which season were you on? The very first season.

No. How old were you? Like the Kelly Clarkson. yes the very first season the kelly clarkson season wait the justin guarini season yes yes yes more importantly exactly wow okay so you know walking into it you don't even know what the show is really yeah you don't know what it's gonna turn into we had no idea i was actually just told that it was like a star search which you had done right i did next big star okay so that was a spin off of star search um but i was just told hey it's gonna be like a star search show up

stand in this thousands of thousands of people line and see how you do so i did and i made the first cut then i made the second cut and i was actually the very first person to ever make it to hollywood oh like the very first like you're going to hollywood yes exactly holy shit and we didn't know what that meant either because we were like well we are in hollywood like literally so i'm coming back here tomorrow okay but you know you're excited we had no idea um but i made it to top 35 which is a big deal yeah again not knowing where it was going yeah and before i could make it past that round they did background checks oh and my mom warned me that night after they announced like okay you know tonight we're running on background checks

she because we were at at that time staying in pasadena they put us all in a hotel okay so she told me that night she's like i just want to tell you they're going to do background checks yeah they're probably going to find out you're lying about your age oh how old were you i was 15 how old did you have to be 16 okay and it was like may oh i thought it was going to be like about your drug cartel i know they haven't found out about that yet so i'm like damn you know maybe it won't happen no it happened so so you would have made it way farther i mean i maybe i don't know i'll never know but i showed up the next day and they all cornered me oh my god and we're like we're gonna have to ask you to leave oh my god we found out you're 15 you've been lying to like

they made this whole thing that i was like a liar yes i'm just trying to get discovered right i'm just trying to sing like and i'm 15 i'm a kid i'm a sophomore in high school literally oh my god so yeah that was it and i didn't go back the next year no because you were like yeah i was bad egg no not necessarily you know i saw the the positivity in it yeah you know and then i watched the entire first season yeah um so i saw what it could do but at that point i was now in a girl group and wasn't really i was just cool on it okay i was just like you know what no let me like focus on this girl group diddy was putting together this new girl group and it was run by debbie hammond who started do you remember the girl group dream i don't know of course okay so

how could we forget yes so she started that group was starting another group and i was in that group okay right after american idol we didn't even have a name it was like so new oh so the dogs are body slamming the door my cats do that it's okay wait so then in high school is when you met no i met him right out of high school so i graduated high school oh got you at 17 and then when i turned 18 i met him and the you throw you throw him not under the bus but like you you post some flashback photos on your it's like bikini bikini bikini miguel's a nerd bikini it's amazing it's amazing but i love that he's a nerd he's still a nerd like he still is and i love it like that's what attracts me to him to be honest with you so a lot of times girls will listen and ladies

will listen to the show and they you know they'll be like oh i did this really embarrassing thing and i thought it would be great for our listeners to really understand the first date oh no not the first date yes okay long story short she puked wait can i ask how you guys met yeah we met on the set of his very first music video so I was hired to be in the video and I was hired to interview him for like a behind the scenes DVD he was doing

and I asked him a bunch of questions and then my last question wasn't on my list and I asked him I said you know all the ladies want to know do you have a girlfriend and he said no but I'm looking for one and I was like alright see you later and then you know he called me the next

day and that was it so yeah it was first date yes but then the first day so first date was actually less than a week later and you know we're both underage like he was he was just turning 19 i was 18 so we had our like fake ids that were probably really shitty but they worked and so we went to some club on coanga and it was really my first time at a club and i've never been like a drinker or anything like that. Like in high school, I was not that girl. I was not, I didn't smoke. I didn't drink. I didn't do anything. So I'm in this club and his best friend just keeps like handing us glasses of champagne. And I'm like, I'm here, whatever. It's so fun. Blah, blah, blah. I'm like drinking the champagne. You know, you're supposed to eat

before. And I probably didn't. And I just, before I knew it, we were in his best friend's car. and i threw up in my leather jacket oh i threw up in my clutch but but but i managed to take everything out of my clutch before puking yeah you're very resourceful very wow i'm impressed like i didn't ruin my lip glosses i didn't ruin my compact my car keys are good um the fake id was good thank god yeah thank god yeah and i remember thinking like like he's never gonna talk to me again like this is it you know like oh it's too gross for a first date for a first date like get it together you have to wait until like a year goes by and you're like oh i got food poisoning like it right so we get to his food poisoning uh we get to his best friend's apartment

because you know neither one of us had our own place and and he like puts me in the shower and Like, takes care of me and goes and gets Jack in a box. And I remember I turned to him and I was like, you know, if you never want to see me again, I totally understand. Like, it's cool. I had obviously a really good time. It's okay. Yeah. And he was just like, I'm not going anywhere.

Like, this doesn't scare me at all. But here's the thing, ladies. Just listen. Unless you look like Naz. Stop. No, no, no, no, no. Like, she probably could have shit her pants on this date and he would have been like, let's have babies. Yeah.

So, like, let's not start the wrong president. Don't puke on your first date. This doesn't happen for normal people. Like, she's an alien. It's true. It's true. Even with puke, you're a 10. Yeah, he's like, you know what?

She's hotter than any girl in LA. She could literally puke on me. Thank God I didn't do that. Oh, my gosh. I would be even more mortified if that happened. That's so cute that he took care of you, though. He did. Yeah, totally nice.

And, yeah, after that, I kept puking. and like and he comes taking care of you yeah and then he pukes and i take care of him and there you go and there you go now you're married exactly so beautiful thank you and you guys waited a long time to get married we did and why you know a few reasons i mean i've known him and been with him since i was 18 yeah and it's like growing up together in your 20s it's so different it's so different and so difficult and there were a lot of growing pains and then you throw in you throw in the fame factor yeah and that just takes you for a loop like yeah you've been with him for like his rise i have we broke up for one year to the date actually oh wow yeah it was

bizarre um but that was before anything ever took off yeah we were 20 and 21 so it was like way before but we broke up for like a solid year and we needed it we really needed it so that helped um but you never know until you experience it yeah like it is crazy people always say my girlfriend christina says like fame happens to everyone around you but it doesn't happen to you And I'm sure it's weird to watch, like, both of your careers, like, blossom and be like, everyone starts looking at you different. Everyone wants to be friends. Everyone wants to come to the party. Yes, they definitely always want to come to the party.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of people rotate in and out over the years for good. Yeah. And no hard feelings or anything like that. But the people that are meant to be in your life will always be in your life. and we're lucky that we have such a strong family unit on both ends so i'm very close to my family and my cousins and my brother he's very close to his brother and his cousins in fact his cousin is dating my cousin like it's just a whole that's nice yeah like we're all like we're that close um but we're very lucky and they keep it very real yeah you know if if something's not right

they're very vocal and that's priceless you can't put a price on that truly and we're lucky that the people that work for both of us are family as well so that's nice yeah I love that what's the best advice you've been given because you've kind of dabbled in so many different areas of the entertainment business and like you're kind of hot and so like you know and you're smart so I'm sure like people want to take you down so you know it's i don't pay them any attention it's like they're not even there and i don't and i don't do it on purpose wait when you post a hot picture on instagram and some girls like facetune you're like bye yeah like i see i internalize that like really yeah i think secure women yeah eat away at her slowly in the middle yeah and i think secure

women are like well and also you've probably been dealing with it for a decade like you've been performing trolls like from dating him and stuff no no is that weird yes his fans are the coolest here well they're probably like they'll never be that hot yeah well no yeah they've been dating forever i have no chance you know what i think it's the history yeah and i've always i've always separated the our relationship and the artist like when at home he belongs to me and our family but when he's out the minute he steps out he belongs to the world right and i've always addressed that and i've always made that a point you know he's an artist this is what he does this is his passion i would never take that away from him right so when he's out and he hits that

stage he belongs to his fans you know and i i'm like you do your thing like this is what you love to do and you know he feels the same way so it just works i don't know we have this understanding yeah yeah yeah definitely also you grew up in la right yeah so you've been around all this my whole it's different when you see it your whole life my entire life yeah so he did too right yeah i mean he's been songwriting since he was like 11 or 12 so yeah we we grew up around you know creative people and around the industry so there's a deep understanding um but yeah i mean going back to the troll thing you gotta ignore it like how am i why would i be upset or dwell on something from somebody who doesn't know me yeah like that's a waste of my energy that i

could be giving to somebody who really cares now if i did something and somebody who knew me very well said something to me i would really take it yeah yeah yeah absolutely like i'd be like okay oh shit like let me what am i doing okay let me step back and like get it together i would definitely do that speaking of energies so before the holidays we all we went on a double date remember when i was like i left my house once that's why i left my house for yes so we went to update it was right before the new years and we were all talking about new years and like traditions and whatever and i was telling her about you and leah and how you get together every new year's and you wear weird color underwear yeah and then and then i was telling her about

my manifest list and so i want a full report card did you do the underwear jack even did the underwear this year yes i've done the underwear the last few years yeah and how did it work for you it worked okay yeah so did you do the underwear or the manifest list i did both oh so i wore white underwear because i couldn't find yellow which a yellow thong is really hard so i wore red last year and then i like fell in love so i was like okay works now i want money so i was trying to find a yellow one but i waited too long that was me this i'm like but i want a cute yellow one too right and it's it is almost impossible so i wore red again i'm like i don't need this but but at least it's better yeah yeah like maybe that means like growth in your

relationship so wait what did the white mean peace right yeah i think like did you do that this year oh I forgot what color I think I did blue at least as long as you do black no I did not do yeah all right okay black is just death right or something yeah you're just gonna have a shitty year okay okay and then you manifested yes okay so tell me everything about your list I mean you don't have to share what's on the list but so I went into detail yeah like like I told you yes so detail I wrote the things I wanted to book the magazines I wanted to shoot for um think different things in my relationship and i even ended it with you know above all my family my friends and my husband come first throughout all you know i did all of that um

but within the first two weeks of january i've already booked three things off of that list which is crazy great like crazy that's weird it's weird like it works i text her and was like this shit works this works okay did you just okay i have a question about these lists because hers like lives on your mirror or something mine does too okay so you have it on the mirror you print it out yeah i printed it out but mine's in my uh closet like the vanity so you're the only one who sees it miguel sees it yeah but yeah but is that embarrassing because i had like how many times a week i want to have sex and then it was like on my mirror and for my husband to see it i mean i'm sure you're having sex like 17 times a day she's like one hanging from this ceiling but some s30s

girls we need to like you know i'm in my 30s i know but you've only been married for five seconds and you're married to a rock star she's completely different her husband longer than you have it's true oh my god are we gonna find out these tiny details also like the modern day like like sex music literally makes songs like let me just put on my own music and turn around actually you ever had sex to his own we get asked this never well that's kind of creepy Doesn't Justin Bieber do that? Of course he does. Has he ever been like, I wrote a song

and then you're like, whoosh. No. When he writes music and shows it to me, he will be randomly driving and then he'll just play it. There's no announcement. You're like, turn the channel, baby. This sucks.

He's like, this is my new single. I think because he just wants an organic reaction. he doesn't want me to be like anticipating something or faking the funk which I never would do faking the funk you know what I mean that's the best thing I've ever heard like he'll just like play it okay and then I'm like oh but do you know do you still when like so for me like my weakness as like a young 20s like when I was dating musicians like they could be like the most unattractive person to me at times but like if they're performing because

they were talented it was like hot hot like after this long of knowing him does that still like do it for you does it flex the funk that's so unfair the funk no that's so unfair because it's like the moment you want to tap into that like feeling that's all you have to do like for me i have to ask my husband to like do a major home renovation for me to get my i'm like did you have to like do a little jig up in my front of you chris can you put away the groceries and she just signed a really big check for me she's like oh i think i'll just youtube my husband and oh so it's yeah and like him performing never gets old like not ever and i being on tour like you see the literally the same show from start to finish the same dance steps the same everything every night

Like, yeah, I do have some, you're like, I know which step you're taking. I do have some questions about you, but I do have one more about this. No, because this is very, so sometimes when you post a beautiful photo on your Instagram, the photographer is your husband. Yes. Now, are you just like, okay, so I'm in Mexico and I'm like, Chris, take a picture of me. Take a picture. No, no, no, no, no.

That's the wrong angle. Or do I picture you guys like you lay out and you're like, I'll just cover my breast with just the towel and then and then miguel's like beautiful beautiful yes like i i want the real i picture is like are you throwing your phone at him being like babe take a picture of me take a picture right now yes he does he gets so frustrated because i like i know i was i know my angles right i know how things should be shot and sometimes like it's not the way i want it you haven't trained him to be the perfect instagram husband yet oh my god like he and then he'll think i'm he's not doing it right and he gets frustrated it's like a thing yeah and then i'm like never

mind and then he's like no i'll do it and like this is literally when you lose your mojo for the photo and then well he'll eventually get it that's good yeah he'll eventually get it and then he's like are you happy now i'm like yeah it's not worth asking sometimes right yeah that's my husband you know they're gonna ask darla yeah okay women are much better you know what well it is nice to know that everybody's the same thank you this is exactly how my situation is also if i looked like you my husband would be like you ready for that photo shoot yeah again again let's try this nude no the nude ones he does on his own organically but the ones where i'm like okay i have this outfit i need you to shoot it from here i need you to do this yeah no it's not he's like

stars they're just like us like he's like are we done i'm like you're like you're like we're done when i say you're done i keep this family together um okay another thing about your strip you love an inspirational quote now these i do cold-hearted bitches okay consistently make fun of me nine times out of ten we make fun of her occasionally one time there's a good one but here's the thing about inspirational quotes that we're pretty much the same about uh-huh we don't like the flu flu like metaphorical weird like the sun shines down on you and like blah blah blah yeah we like a nice straightforward advice yeah right and those are the ones that i enjoy and i only post stuff that motivate me or that i live by right so that's really what i post mantras

right exactly like if i am like oh that's dope like that changed my perspective maybe it'll change somebody else's then i'll post it or i already live by this let me post it so that's that's what i post besides bikinis so that's like what i did so you're like half me half there you go perfect mix um okay so you posted this on instagram and i loved it so much okay and i thought we should discuss it you put uh this post it was like a little meme and it said 20 of the things women should stop wearing after the age of 30 and her set and then it said the weight and expectations of other people's opinions i knew you're gonna be just like showing your knees that is great but i have so many rules about actual things you should

not wear after 30 okay and i need to hear this well you probably don't apply she literally doesn't want to see anybody i don't want to see anyone really no like but her knees are different your skin is like i don't even know what that is like it's like knees not real old okay crusty white women yeah okay it's mostly okay the three of us we have really i still do it soft thin skin thin okay very dimply your knees are the first thing to go like knees go before your tits i mean i don't have tits but it's why am i saying tits i don't have breasts but if i they could fall like i don't want to see your knees i don't want to see the back of your thighs like okay short shorts unless you have like

unless 22 year old legs yeah okay um certain things what are the other things that we have well i don't know you only have two it's pretty much everything that i wear everything that jack a crop top a crop top a belly button ring so like 30 hits and it's done pencil skirts only i don't apply by that i just want you to be more creative in your 30s like you can be on trend and fashionable right but not have to show every inch of your skin i agree with you right and we spend so much money on our faces these days that shouldn't that be the like star of the show now but sometimes you can't fix it and then you gotta like show off a little something somewhere else when i listen i will tell you this my knees are great even though twitter would

disagree my face my face people comment stop wearing short dresses on entertainment tonight your knees are old and saggy. I've never seen your knees. She has great knees. I do have. She actually does. My legs are amazing. My face is less than desirable. I cannot. So all I have is the knees at this point. Her knees are her best feature. I need a knee camp. Like, you

know, they just do the manny camp on the right hand. It's just the knee camp. I mean, calves and knees. A little bit of bronzer on them. Fake tan. But what's the actual rule? Okay, we should stop wearing. The weight and expectations of other people's opinions. Much better. I agree with that

screw what everybody thinks at the end of the day we're all going to die like no really I said this the other day we're putting up an inspirational quote this week on the lady we're all going to die

I said this the other day as well and I had a really good conversation about it because it's like dude we are all going to die who cares do whatever the hell you want you're gonna die i'm gonna die and what knows when this person better than this person and their opinion more prominent than this person like rotting in the ground right i mean your face is

better than our face you're not gonna be able to tell them we're both skeletons wait like have you always looked like this yes it's annoying i only talked i mean we rarely have tens in here no i know it's really rare it's like i'm sure it's annoying you have a lot more to offer than your face but like oh you're thank you it's not fair your eyebrows are thicker never had they are thicker you had the thin 90s brow i did yes yeah because she's like still you know did you have the awkward phase no i can be honest when i like you no no it's fine i mean i left i i went through like a chunky phase okay like when i was like five oh that doesn't actually like 25 if you're I'm not trying to have sex with someone that doesn't count.

No, like 24, 25, I was a little heavier. Okay. Yeah, I was. No, no, no, no, no. She's like, but it went to my boobs. So it was okay. Yeah, she's like, it was all my boobs. And then actually that sparked my love for fitness.

Oh, okay. Yeah. So you work hard for this body. Yeah, I have to. If not, it wouldn't, it wouldn't. Which I appreciate. What do you like to do? Well, what I don't like to do is cardio and like things like that.

I actually do really love weightlifting a lot. Yeah. um it gets a lot of my like anxiety out and my frustrations um it takes my mind off of like everyday things that i'm constantly thinking about uh i just feel like it's my break yeah from like the world right so weightlifting uh i love to hike too that's always something that's like being outdoors i don't like to get dirty but i like to be outdoors like that's my thing so like i like dyke yeah no like at runyon and that's it i hate running i hate running it's like uh like a shit show i can't like when i work out it's like no makeup i just

i don't care so i'm like let me go to fryman and like i love fryman me too it's like so calm no one's there i love it now this is a podcast so people can't see your face but i do want to ask you some makeup questions okay because you have like i you did your makeup today no my cousin did my makeup oh it's really good thank you you look insane but you always look amazing so what is your like skin secret makeup tip if like color of gloss that you think every woman should have in her bag like what is your go-to yeah my go-to okay i love nars like it just works for my skin type i have like combination skins so it just depends on the weather but that usually stays constant for me um but i only wear makeup when i have to like i my everyday life i don't like i just don't wear

makeup i'll curl my lash maybe because your real lash no we have a few okay that's beautiful um thank you and that's like that's it yeah i drink a lot of water too like i know that's cliche but I really drink a lot of water. What else? Air. I eat air. I eat air. I eat a lot.

My go-to lip gloss, the Fenty one. I feel like it looks good on almost everyone. It's like this universal color that magically just, like, looks good on everyone. So I love that lip gloss. And my favorite chapstick I cannot live without is Fresh. Like, it's like this. The Sephora brand? The, like, regular one?

No, I think I have it. The one that's not tinted? The one that's not tinted. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's, like, extra moisture. I'll show you guys after. What's in your bag? I know.

I'm like, what is in here? Okay. The last thing I want to say is, will you be wearing more color on the red carpet? Yes. Okay. Do you have outfits picked up? Why? Because she's so beautiful, and she always wears a black dress.

I really do. And then no one ever, I mean, people put the pictures, you obviously get pressed, but, like if she came out in like a purple blue green yellow like she'd be on the cover of something so we talked about this over dinner and you know i'm taking everything in like everything and i hit my stylist danny and was like we're not wearing black like we're i'm not doing it retiring the black no like i am wearing something just vibrant something beautiful something sexy like i'm doing this and then you wore when it was john legend's birthday that beautiful blue dress to the party that i was not invited to shocker shocker dude dr diamond was invited to that

party well obviously everybody famous i mean hello really i was like i don't shit to i'm sure but like i'm pretty sure chrissy talks about him like doing things i know she does do you think you're more important than dr diamond he keeps everyone together in la when i looked at the photos i felt like there was some people i don't know if there was press there but like there was a couple of the hosts from e there there was yes um i know who you're talking about uh uh uh erin lamb people were just there you know i'm just saying john and chrissy i'm john i did choreograph a green light video you know what i'm saying 15 years ago and that's where you 15 years ago i'm just saying he's like you know who we should add babe the girl who choreographed my music video

When I was nobody. Hey, that was with Andre 2000. I envision you like, listen, we all love Chrissy Teigen, but like. You're coming for her. You're coming for her. Yeah. I love her. She's great, but like, so are you.

Thank you. So I'm ready for it. I'm ready for it too. It's like Chrissy 2.0, but like we don't have to get rid of the first Chrissy. No, I think you're very different. Yeah, I think it's, you know, creating your own lane and staying in your own lane. I think that's what makes us also, you know, different in this industry if we choose to be. But, yeah, there's enough room in this industry and in this world for all of us to be successful.

Well, not yet. Not yet. That's why we have to, like, pit each other against one another. We like to think it is, though. Well, hopefully we get to that place. We're going to get there. We're going to get there. You know?

We will. Godspeed. I take that as a compliment. Yeah, you should. Thank you, because she's very successful, and her personality is amazing, and she's beautiful. So thank you so much. Of course. I love it.

I just want commission. That's all. I got it. All right. Tegan 2.0. When we come back, we're going to fix your life. Yes. Hey, ladies.

Funk it. Ask the Lady Gang. And we're back. All right. So we have our listeners write in questions, and we give them questionable advice back. Okay. Are you ready to change some lives? Yes, absolutely.

we are doing it all right our first question comes from bad in bed bad in bed by the way what i just want to preface this preface i want to preface this by saying that when we had dinner i was like oh like what's next she's like i kind of see myself as like i was like oh you're like like the new oprah and so i put these questions because this is like we're going there today okay sometimes when we have a guest who i don't think can handle it i'm like what color should i wear to the prom and we're like red is great you know we're taking you to oh all right let's go okay okay no pressure yeah no pressure bad in bed says so i'm 25 and i just had my first orgasm alone with my vibrator girl thank you lady box you're welcome but now i'm wondering how and what

do i communicate with my long-term boyfriend so that i can orgasm with him godspeed bring that vibrator out do it to yourself or like it's or include it include it you know like and show him what you like right right that's exactly you got it you know men you have to show them what you like they're not born with knowing everything most things they don't know you have to like they never ever really do know you know and I love men but let's be honest like we gotta teach you know

we gotta teach them what we like and the ones that listen and do it are the ones that stay you know that's just how it goes so yeah she should bring it with her but don't feel bad if you can't orgasm without most women have a hard time

and you can just say that also it's important to be like I always enjoy sex because sometimes men don't understand because to them the thought of having sex and not having an orgasm is like totally foreign for us we can still enjoy sex without it so you have to definitely say

that first so he doesn't get like really upset that you've been like lying all this time about enjoying it but you just say I love it always but I realize something about myself I actually have to have stimulation in another place which most women do and like here's a vibrator

and get a little drunk too it's easy drink a bottle of wine yeah do it yeah no i think that we're all women are so scared to number one tell a man anything especially sexually because you probably think it's going to hurt their ego number one you're embarrassed but you got to think about all the women they were probably with before that also didn't tell them any things so they're just like poking around having no idea where the plate probably even is oh no like sucking on your thigh thinking it sounds good and well yeah you just have to communicate with them guys are excited when you want to bring a toy in yeah very if someone started sucking on my thigh i would get the f**k up and leave

i'd be like this is the least part that i want any attention i didn't say that by experience why you're like going around no i don't want you to suck on my oh this cellulite you're like oh this is how you get rid of it you just like kind of like go slowly around too much honestly that's what okay yeah anyways just tell him all right second question doesn't have a name but it says is love meant to last she says i'm in my mid-20s i've been dating my boyfriend for eight years he's my best friend and i've never really dated anybody else i feel very comfortable and secure in our relationship it isn't bad but it's not what it used to be i don't feel the same love for him anymore we haven't gotten married for financial

reasons and i often find myself asking if i'm wasting my time with him or will it be worth it in the long term should i keep putting in the work to our relationship or break up with him before i'm too old and there's only boys left how do you start dating when you're 25 if she does break up them that's a lot of questions it sounds like you're already out the door yeah i think it's yeah it's hard when you've been so she's been probably dating him since she was a teenager Yeah, since probably the same time that you started dating a girl. Yeah. Like, how hard is that when you've been dating somebody for so long and you're like, don't know what else is out there, you know?

It's more scary than anything, I would assume, you know? It's, you don't know what to expect. Like, if, God forbid, anything would happen, I don't even know, like, these apps. Like, I don't even, what? It would be a foreign land to me. so I think getting over that fear and asking yourself why am I really here and even writing down a pros and cons like okay this is why I'm staying and this is why I don't want to stay this is why this person's good for me why they're not good for me if it doesn't even look good on paper

then you know what you got to go yeah it's not even fair to him it's really not even fair to him yeah not that I take relationship advice from um Brad Pitt but there was a Vogue interview or Vanity Fair article many years ago when him and Angelina were still together and also this is probably terrible because they didn't end up together but he said something like my wife was really struggling and I had to love her back to life and I think

that's a Celine Dion song you love me back to life it is maybe Brad listened to Celine I don't know I mean he would but anyway I do think that there's something to be said about now that I'm like going on a decade with Chris it's like if

we let ourselves be lazy our relationship will go to shit yeah we it is work and you absolutely can get in that eight year nine year seven year five year slump of just being like it's not the same as it used to be yes because the cocaine has worn off my child and like you really have to work at putting the time and effort into like making your relationship exciting so if you want to stay if you want to stay it's not just going to magically happen but that's the thing too like a lot of people find themselves in this position where it's like you don't know anything else now you're comfortable in it and you're kind of settling you might might both be settling for each other it's not like

you're better than him or he's better than you like you might just both be settling for each other because you don't know any different and you're too scared to get out of it but that is the worst reason to stay with somebody at all like even if you work for it like there's and also you're 25 you're very very young yeah i mean here's the thing if you leave him and you get into another relationship with somebody else you will hit this place with that person too exactly it might be different but you will hit a place where you're like what else is out there i don't feel the same anymore but that's just life like i'm sorry but here's the thing at 25 i don't want your vagina to die like maybe get out there and take the risk and maybe if he's supposed you're

supposed to be with him you'll find each other again right but like 20 you know it's it's like do you remember when you bought that fake Louis Vuitton purse on canal street and you were so excited and you were like, Oh my God, I'll never not love you. And then like, I did that with the real thing. And then the 15 years later, you're like, what is this pattern? Nah. Well, or you got the real one, whatever. I mean, it's right. But I also think like, it's okay to be alone too. And women need to understand that and to work on yourself and to go to therapy and, you know, And really learn yourself. Like, it's okay.

Yep. So I think that's important. That's true. A lot of girls are afraid to be alone. Yeah. I've been there for sure. Yep. Yeah.

I totally understand. All right. Last question comes from Concerned Roommates. She says- Can I just say that you only love being alone now that you're in a relationship? It's true. No. It's true.

This is what happened, though. It was like the second that I was like, being single rules. Yeah. That's when it comes. Yeah, obviously. I'm like, well. But I'm still alone. It's the same.

We've talked about this before. You're in a relationship. Have we talked about this before? What? On the podcast? What? I don't know if it's aired yet. No.

I told you last week that you're not alone. But this was a very recent thing that we just talked about. It was last week that we talked about it, where it's like you need to find somebody that lets you basically be single, but you're just sleeping with them. Yeah, yeah. You can go out and do anything you want. We're sorry. We're sorry for you.

No, it's all good. We had a little fight, but we're back. I just didn't want the single girls out there that are sad and having a hard time to forget when Jack was like, guys, it sucks. I understand. No, it does suck. She's like, help. I'm dating a scientist. Get me out of here.

It's a new reality show. Help. I'm trying to find a good guy. I chose a scientist. There was a lot of boys out there. Ninety nine percent of them. Even the scientists. He was the worst.

OK. Concerned roommate says a roommate has been with her boyfriend for a year and a half now and even did long distance while she was studying abroad for four months in Italy. we really like him and think he's perfect for her they've even spent holidays together and have been in wedding parties together they have a really happy and healthy relationship but after all this time he still hasn't said i love you she tells us all the time that she is absolutely in love with him but refuses to say it first no matter what we say it's totally eating away at her and we are starting to worry if he will ever say it how long is too long and if he hasn't said it by now should she realize it's not going to last how long have they been together i don't

A year and a half. Oh, a year and a half. Whoa. That's a long time. That is a long time. That's a very long time. It's a long time. She can't say it, though.

She cannot say it first. No. No. No. Never. I think that's... She's got to wait or she's got to ask him, is there... You know, what's the reason?

Yeah. Definitely ask him. Again, communication. Like, is there a reason why this hasn't been said yet? You know, was there something in your past? Like, are you, like, scared? Are you hurt? What's going on?

Maybe he just assumes she knows. No. You don't think so? That doesn't work. What do you mean? You just assume that somebody loves you? Like, well, he's in wedding parties. They're great together.

Like, maybe he just... No, he's... There's something. He has, like, a hang-up. Yeah, there's something. Maybe he's not into girls. True. Maybe.

Damn. Although, I feel like the ones that are not into girls are the first to say, I love you girls. Right? I love you so much, girl. I'm feeling the love. They're the best communicators. Best communicators.

Yeah, absolutely. Everything about you is fake. You're right. You're right. Maybe he has three other girlfriends. Oh. Or he's just not that into you, which is sad because you've been together for a year and a half and he's your boyfriend.

It's not like it's some random dude she's been dating. Yeah, she just has to. That's way too long. I don't think that there's a specific timeline, but a year and a half is too long. Oh my God. I just thought of the best idea. I doubt it. She should take a piece of paper like you did in the first grade.

No. And be like, do you love me? Yes or no? And then you can send it back in the mail. send no and then he's not what if he never sends it back that's what will happen that happened to me do you know you sent the first grade well i like confessed my love to somebody through a letter like how old were you 25 oh and he never wrote me back and it was like one of my best friends casual was it an actual letter or like an email it was a letter oh wow it's still waiting

at the post office for a while. He's going to fall in love with me when he reads it. He never got, he did, some rain came down and you couldn't see who it was from. He loved it. So did you guys, you never spoke to him again after? We kind of like did the back and forth where I was like, how's your day?

Did you get anything? He like sent me a picture. He's like, I read your letter. And he's like, and I'm working on a response. And then never sent the response. He was like very manipulative and weird and would always like pretend that he was like, he really cared, but I don't think he did.

So he is crafting his response. It's been five years. so i'm still waiting wow yeah okay well um well on that note thank you for coming giving advice where can everyone buy your bikinis because it is going to be summer soon and i mean yes you're going to send us some i'm sure this is a great experience two weeks i'm going to costa rica in two weeks i would like to look i would like to look hot like you and so it's a collaboration right i'm actually not working with that company anymore i'm starting my own company oh yeah so Well, I'll probably start designing and, you know, bringing things to life in about two weeks.

Yeah. So once that's done, I will definitely send you guys a question. Yes. Will your ass be covered? That's the other thing after 30. No. I want them. No.

That's my other thing after 30. Can you make – Cover your ass at the beach. No. No. Sorry. I'm like a – I love thongs, first of all. And I love scrunched butt bikinis.

Like, they're my fave. They make the ass look so good. I don't even have that great of an ass. I just love them. But can you add, like, can you do something for over 30 white women with cellulite? Because your ass doesn't look like this. That's still me. I just wear them.

Do you want, like, boy shorts? Remember when those were on? No, I don't want a boy short. And a tanky. Oh, my gosh, the boy short. A boy short is for people who have given up. So I want a nice, like. What do you guys want?

You just want full coverage. I want a nice high, like, coverage, but it can still be sexy. Like, I don't mind if the sides of me is shown. Okay. But I need the butt and the vagina. I can't have the flaps of my saggy 30s vagina coming out over the sides of the bikini, okay? All right. Thicker vagina.

A wider vagina. A little bit to hold in the gun. If you can, like, slip a Spanx in there and pull it tight. Ooh, a Spanx. And then the sides is good. The sides is good. And the top, I can be open as you want. Okay.

But I just need my butt covered because there's cellulite there. and I went to Hawaii and I tried a scrunch butt bikini inspired by Jack Vanek and Chris took a picture of me walking to the beach and I have been mortified

ever since I didn't know that's all it takes I didn't know I was walking around with that behind me one candid action shot I can't even get a candid shot

are you kidding me that's your life though that's what everyone's looking at yeah but I don't give a shit how do you avoid like your asses no no no

I have cellulite too it's actually one thing I like hate but there's nothing I can do about it yeah it's just like is what it is I'm just like no

So just for us, your people, 25 scrunch butts and one, call it the 30s. Call it a 30s butt. I'll just name it 30. Look at this one. It's a little different. It's like when you see on the runway and Versace's like, dress, dress, dress, giant cape thing that Glenn Close will wear to the Oscars. I want that one. Me too.

I want a cape for the beach. A full muumuu. A beach cape sounds amazing. That sounds incredible. That does. it's just a full neck little hood sun visor that comes right out built-in sun visor built-in sun visor okay we have so many ideas uh i'm so we're so happy you're on lady gang thank you for coming i love your madonna t-shirt you're so beautiful say hi to your cute husband and we will see you
