things are about to change around here each week we catch up with hollywood's hottest girl posse kelty knight becca tobin and jack vanik hello hello hello welcome to the lady gang i'm becca tobin here with jack vanik and kelty night i'm doing that super healthy thing i do where i have a bucket of trail mix and they it's the trail mix that has one delicious thing in it this one is peanut butter chips and you just eat that yep i'm skipping all the nuts skipping the raisins skipping the dates just i also saw you pick up a very large diet coke no it's iced tea oh okay i thought it was like a really big diet coke earlier and you were sipping on it and i thought she's on the sauce yeah are you on the sauce are you not on the sauce i'm not on the sauce right

now um when's the last time you had a diet coke friday okay so you're kind of on the sauce oh no i had one yesterday i um okay i you know i live in the valley now and so i have my bike um and i decided for the first time that i would drive down from my house to ventura boulevard and see about why to go to the hardware store but i was like i wonder how long it'll take me and how hard it'll be because i live up at the top of like a hill now and so the way down was awesome took me like eight minutes the way up took me 40 minutes and then i got a flat tire on your bike yeah but the end of this this the reason i have this story is that i bought two things at the harvard store some saw blades and a diet coke so i had a diet coke yesterday okay

get yourself back up the hill you had a diet coke and then this guy you know the guys like i'm never you never see women like this well maybe you do the guys that like full bike gear it's like the bike shorts the bike shirt the bike helmet the bike backpack the special seat the water my dad used to do yeah mountain biker like he's like on garb yeah and he's like rides by my and i have my i'm my airpods in and i'm listening to music and he's like pointing at me and i look i stop and i look and like my tire is completely flat and i was like that's probably what he's trying to tell me like you fucking loser you don't have the shorts that's why it's so hard yeah i think that's why it was hard i had to walk a little bit walk the bike

oh good for you i'm glad that you finally live in the valley because even when you didn't live in the valley you said you lived in the valley that was like such a weird court thing that you did when people asked you where you lived before when you lived in hollywood you would say studio city it didn't i live in studio city you did not you lived right studio city i knew i lived in hollywood but i was right on the edge of studio city the fat burger is the the border i was very you're an idiot um all right well it's time for good week yes it is bad week oh no i have got to tell you my bad week okay oh okay do you remember like a year and a half ago when we were doing the express collaboration and as part of the collaboration which was great they let us pick

out all those shoes that express had and i think jack and i maybe becca we all got that same white steve madden boot thank you yes love that knee boot have loved her have learned her every time i put her on i feel like a fashion icon which i'm not i wore so my new closet i have the boots up on the top level okay and the closet is shaped like a hexagon like it has all weird walls and so I put the boots back up to put them away in the closet and a boot fell in the triangular hole between the two super tall closet organizing billy bookcases essentially it went down into another region that I have two options now get the the scooper for the pool out and lay on top of the closet and try to scoop out the boot just one boot or use my jigsaw and cut the entire bottom

of the closet off you're not cutting your closet apart to get a boot those boots it would be cheaper for you to buy a new pair of those boots because i don't even think that they're real leather than it is to take your entire closet apart i don't think they're available and i love them well you're not getting mine so I don't even know where mine are so sorry about it did you have a good week uh yes um my good week is that I um I love my house great I know that sounds boring but like obviously I love my house but I've never felt this way about anywhere that I've ever lived in my life any apartment any other wonderful house a cute like rich person apartment in las vegas when i had like a cute little kiki bear what makes you love this house it has so many trees

oh my i saw a coyote there's so many trees there's so many birds there's so many butterflies because behind me is a hill that you can't build on so i'm like basically i live in a meadow there's so much nature and i always avoided living somewhere with nature because i was like i don't need trees i don't need a yard i don't like i don't need it i need it i'm so happy i sit outside and i look at nature all the time did you ever figure out if those trees are allergy trees or not that was definitely the dust from the thing because chris's eyes flew out too anyway okay you guys go um my good week is i made it on to demois no you did not how i made it well it was sort of a loophole because she was asking about um prank calls to celebrities oh and i don't know if i've ever

told you guys about when i prank called david blaine did i ever tell you this story yes but tell us again yeah okay so basically when i was like 21 years old somehow i acquired david blaine's phone number so my friend and i prank called him like on a saturday night and he answered and we pretty much convinced him that we had met him at a club in new york called like the pink elephant or something like that yeah i've been there prior so he believed us i think that he was up on some kind of a drug because then for the next half an hour he talked to us about like the ninth dimension and like different lives and like time warps and like all this shit for half hour then we've hung up the phone and we're like wow that was a fun prank call like let's move on

with our lives until he calls us the next day like 4 p.m just to check up on us and have just a casual conversation which was shocking then for the next week he kept calling every day just to have like a little chat with my friend and i and then invited us to go to russia with him i mean i was it ever sexual no not really it was like how did you get his phone number in the first place did you ever see him in person no but i knew you know david blaine's voice like he has a very distinct cadence I know but how did you get the phone number my friend just was like I have David Blaine's phone number do you want it and I was like okay I don't know and it was a guy that had his phone number too which makes it even weirder but you send pictures did he know what you

looked like before he invited you to Russia no never sent pictures it was just he is just a such a strange guy and like it wasn't a sexual conversation it was just more like catching up on a 4 p.m with his two buds wow you should have gone okay so you enter you sent that in to dumois and they reposted it yeah they reposted it and then my friend anna she sent it to me she's like is this you and i was like yep i'm like it would be it would be crazy if somebody else had a david blaine experience so that was my good week um my bad week is so i just fyi i think the whole purpose of it is to be anonymous so you're not supposed to tell people well i didn't tell people I'm telling you guys now it's after now you're telling okay whatever um my bad week is

I went to the TMJ doctor recently I'm having really bad pains in my jaw I grind the fuck out of my teeth I wake up with horrible ear pains whatever so I'm in there and we're talking about different things and he's like okay well we can do Botox in your jaw and your head to help with the muscles like okay and he's talking about the different units and he was like you know if we do too much Botox, like it might affect your talking. And I was like, well, I kind of talk for a profession, so I can't mess up my talking. And then we start talking about podcasts. Then we start talking about YouTubers. And then we start talking about TikTokers and then how much TikTokers make in a year. And while this is all happening, my doctor is literally like having an

existential crisis until he sits there, he puts his hand on his head and he goes, why did I go to medical school do dentists go to medical school he was a doctor it was like a oh yeah yeah he was like an ortho well i don't know what it was but it was basically he's like a jaw doctor but he was so bummed that he spent so much money on medical school to be making like a fifth of what these fucking tiktokers make yeah i really i ruined his day i ruined his day i feel bad way to go okay well um my good week is we've had friends staying with us this week and the friend group that we have here in austin the game night game is settlers of katan and my god you know i am a person who really i hate i loathe this is one of my biggest flaws no not one of my biggest let's

be serious. I have too many. A flaw of mine is that I re I hate learning new things. I do not like teaching myself skills. I don't like being taught new skills. I just feel like I can't do it, but I knew that I needed to really focus and learn this game. It's so complicated. But Suddertest Catan is one of those that has like five bajillion rules and it's so drawn out and boring. It's so hard to learn. However, I pushed through and I get it. It's so fun. And you can just sit there and pound drinks and play the game. It's interactive. It takes a little bit of brain work. So I feel like I'm like fighting off the dementia. That's for sure coming my way one day. And I'm proud of myself because again, I don't like to learn new skills and, and I,

i learned this game and those games those games are i had uh during like covid i there's this company that sent me an organ trail game like you remember the organ trail yeah but it was in like a settlers of katan type of a situation yes i'm like this jared was in his element like he's like i love nothing more than a complicated rule yeah and all these little things and i'm like all i do is roll the dice and then like it changes my entire life i'm like i can't do it that's so i i give you props i also just want to like hop in as the kelty of the group here and be like you know for months i've been like hey becca we're gonna use slack now and you're like i hate learning a new thing i refuse to use slack but you found the time to learn the settlers of hey bitch i learned slack

i just don't answer you on it it's called boundaries notifications off 24 all the time Okay. But speaking of Slack, my good week is the key to my happiness may lie in which time zone I'm living in. Because it used to be very hard for me to start my day with Slack pinging and pinging and pinging and emails and this and that. I am now two hours ahead. So I get like many hours of the morning before anybody in the lady gang channel other than alex but she's she she uh does the west coast time she lives in the west coast time zone wait no she lives in the east coast she does west coast time zone does west coast yeah whatever whatever you're all asleep by now but i love being because i can get so much done in the morning before i have to do anything

lady gang related no for that matter anything like LA related so any auditions anything I have this whole time to myself I was thinking to write your morning pages yeah right I was thinking about that this morning about your time zone for some reason and I was like I would actually hate it because it would move too much into my happy hour time no what I've started doing is I actually just don't i pretty much end my day at five or five it's it's three o'clock where you guys are if you haven't noticed i'm very slow to respond after 3 p.m so you've just shortened your already shortened my work work day work day yes you're old speaking of going to work we're gonna work it in a minute with our guest what is the segue what's the reference i don't know what it is

Now back to the Lady Gang. Our guest today is the OG OC Queen. Callie raised this queen went to high school with some no-names like Kirsten Dunst, Catherine McPhee, and a guy whose name rhymes with Hammy Halleck, but he's so shy we're not mentioning him. The 2005 Teen Choice hottie and a 2006 People's Most Beautiful Person, she stole the show as the iconic Summer Roberts on the OC and then stole our heart, pun intended, as Dr. Zoe Hart on Heart of Dixie. She's also appeared on Chuck, Gossip Girl, Buffy, How I Met Your Mother, and Nashville,

but now she's returning to her roots with a new podcast welcome to the oc bitches please welcome to the lady gang rachel bilson hey welcome hi that was the nicest introduction ever thank you so much you're so talented and honestly you're like you know there's like the era icons like icons of the era and i feel like you are an era icon oh yeah there's there's a geez yeah there's a whole like outfit planning things that I bought that was only just because you wore them so congratulations you know what that is the biggest honor ever I mean you know clothes I love them so much so I will take that so yeah you're welcome to the podcast world thank you you're you're so you're re-watching every show and then you're doing an episode on this where did the idea come

from and like this sounds like my own personal hell to watch old footage of myself oh god yeah no for sure I mean I had to you know we started with the pilot obviously and it was terrifying emotional and like just to see myself I was 21 years old and to watch myself and think oh my god like a lifetime has gone by yeah what life was like then and what it is now and like how tan I was like bronzer I mean the fashion it was like it was a crazy time machine warp and it took me a little to adjust to actually watching it but it's fun it's it's different but it's like I'm like oh this show's actually like I would watch this like this is good when you watch it are you remembering what you were what was happening in your real life during certain episodes oh yeah I mean I say that

but my memory is awful so I like generally you know what was going on with the success of the show and like personally romantically all of that stuff definitely comes into play what is it strange for you because you were not originally like supposed to be the bust out star of this series like they had other plans and then you came in and everyone's like no no no no no like when as you're re-watching it are you like i'm good there they're gonna keep me around oh my god do you like see your stuff playing evil genius to become like the regular oh my god if i only had enough confidence to think that way i'd probably be a lot further in life um no but it is kind of funny to see how bitchy and stuff i was like as summer and i was kind of portraying girls from high school i

went to high school with and stuff but there's definitely I'm not like oh shit like that was good it's more like okay like I was just experimenting but I will say being that young I was definitely freer and like just willing to like do whatever and didn't think too much you get in your head as you get older I've learned which is oh my gosh I was just thinking that the other day I was like I'm way harder on myself now than I was in my 20s oh yeah oh yeah sure yeah mentally unstable but at least just doing whatever the hell you wanted yeah I was completely imbalanced, but thriving. Right. Like when I go to the drug store and I get the bleach kit and I'd be like, you know what? I need to bleach my own hair at home right now. And then,

and then put like a mullet of hair extensions. And I was so confident. I was like, I'm the hottest bitch in New York city. No one can touch me. And now I'm like, Oh my God, I can't believe you left the house. Like, I understand that. Well, I have a question about kind of like that. What? Cause you're looking back and I mean that era of fashion was just so special you know like the low-rise jeans and the tan and the hair and the eyebrows um what has been like has there been like a specific outfit or a specific look that you're the most mortified about oh my god I mean all of them are really special you know there's like there's a lot of bikini tops only with bottoms which I would like never in a million years the platform flip-flops yeah well we call those

Orange County platforms OCPs there's a specific name yes well then that's why they existed there obviously uh yeah the really really uh unique looks I mean I was wearing like this hot pink like really low-cut had like the most padded bra I've ever seen in my life my boobs were like looked enormous the water bra era I loved a water bra yeah we love a water bra oh yeah yeah I mean summer was rocking all of that and like this white denim skirt and the platform yeah has it been strange has it been strange for you to watch the new generation not to make us oldies but it has been strange for me has it been strange for you to watch like the next generation come around and be like dressing exactly like summer did in 2000 but like now in 2021 and you're like

i actually made that bitch like i you're welcome again the confidence like i wish i had no i i you know it's funny because like all the juicy tracksuits and everything there's definitely a resurgence of tracksuits especially this last year with the pandemic like it's all about matching sweatsuits tracksuits whatever and juicy has had a comeback so that's kind of fun to see like they're actually selling juicy tracksuits even the velour ones and everything in stores now and you're just yeah it's happening on the button rhinestones and all when when you were when you were on the show and then even heart of dixie like were were they just sending you boxes of stuff to wear all the time i mean i was definitely like lucky enough to get some stuff my favorite was like purses and

you know when you're just like okay yes please thank you i'm not gonna lie yeah i'm not gonna lie about that that was definitely a nice perk um but yeah more so i think the oh sierra than hearted Dixie I feel like so I I kind of asked Becca about this because Becca was on Glee and she was like in the show and it's you know the cult this cultural phenomenon and and I wanted to know when you were on OC and it was becoming such this phenomenon when you're in it do you realize what it is or at what point later in your career did you look back on it and say oh wow this was like the show because there's tons of shows but not all of them stay that way right you know what's interesting i think like when we made the pilot we all kind of felt like there was something

there because it's all about chemistry and you know with other actors and the whole crew and we felt that um but it wasn't until like we did this like fan event where we went down to manhattan beach or something and there were so many people there that were so excited to meet us and see us it was kind of like oh shit like people are watching the show and are liking it like it was like an eye-opening moment where it was like okay I think this is working but you also you guys didn't have any form of social media at the time it must have been nice you know what yeah I'm so grateful for that I know I was 21 but that's still pretty young like Misha was 16 when we started and I can't imagine like having social media then and how much more it would have affected it and

everyone on it um so it was a blessing in disguise I think for sure yeah did you get any um creepy fan mail from like older men or stalkers yeah i don't know i've definitely even like to this day sometimes get these weird things in the mail like oh my god i'm scared to say what because i'm the person who sent it will know i got it don't say it no i didn't like you know yeah i'll tell you after don't eat the cookies don't eat the cookies yeah exactly do you have like your biggest regret of that time like of what you wish you had done or taken it in more or you know like I said before like when you're young you're kind of just in it and you're living it and I feel like I just went for it you know and and I can't say that there are any regrets necessarily there was like maybe

one moment when I got a little too big for myself and was like I shouldn't go there because like people will probably just you know want to see me or some stupid ass thing like that which is like, it's impossible. Not, I mean, when the whole world is watching you and there's paparazzi following you, like I I'm always surprised. I don't think I've ever met anyone that hasn't lost their mind just for a second. Yeah. I think cause I grew up in LA, I was luckily kind of immune to sort of the surroundings and what comes along with it. And I did all the like partying clubbing, whatever, when I was young before the OC. So I think I kind of had an advantage. Also, I was like in a relationship for the duration. So I also had that protection not

to like go crazy, falling out of limos and stuff. So true. Now that this is the, when I, when I saw the announcement of the podcast, my thought was like, yes, this is going to be incredible. And then like, this seems like a hell of your own making because literally you were in a relationship with a co-star you're rewatching the whole thing. What a disaster. Like how, like, no, I kind of have enough woman you know I actually it's nothing but positive for me which is rare I think with relationships and whatnot it's not like looking at your ex-boyfriend from high school and being like oh my god like it was like I had this support system with him for it and like I've you know seen him since I've talked to him a little bit I'm so happy for his life and like

his family. And so it's, it's like a good thing. It's like, Oh, that's like a nice nostalgic feeling. Nothing. So it's like the way that I look at my high school boyfriend and I'm like, you broke my heart in the back of your Toyota Prius, but there wasn't a Prius. It was a Camry. But like, I forgive you now. And everything's like, well, it's been so long too. It's not like you're trying to, you're talking about times that were like a few years ago that you'd still be attached to like it's a good separation to actually look back totally full-on adulting kids like it's just so different you know it's just like oh my god like let's get our kids together that's where your mind goes as opposed to like oh my god you were yeah yeah so okay so

lee favorite we we went to our lady gang facebook group and we asked them what they wanted to know that you may not say on the podcast because of course we're going to be listening and they said i just want to know what her favorite and least favorite scenes of the oc are so do you have like the standout favorite scene and the least favorite scene okay so i'm still watching them and i don't remember them but i will remember like i feel like least and most could be the same scene because i was horrified to dress up as wonder woman with all of the hair and the makeup and the unitard or whatever the thing was like just like not my thing but also like okay that was a fun moment so I feel like they both it can go hand in hand what is it about putting young girls in unitards

on television that they love so much whenever there's the opportunity Becca had to dress up like Catwoman in a latex unitard it was also horrifying I mean yeah and like you can't breathe and it's just like a whole sweaty situation. So sweaty. Mine came from a sex store. It was like straight up latex. It was disgusting. It was absolutely disgusting.

I had to like baby powder the whole body just to get in it. I was going to say, it's like that Ross episode in Friends where he has the leather pants and he's came before he got the powder. That was me. It was disgusting.

Oh my God, awful. So speaking of growing up, I mentioned that you went to high school with Catherine McPhee. Now, I imagine that in the high school drama class, there was only one lead starring role and you and Kat might have gone against each other. Did that happen or is that just in like my dream? You know what? Kat is younger than I am. So you kind of like you are the lead.

Fine. You are the lead. No, I mean, I mean, I was like this, but not. yeah I will say musicals like that girl that voice on her yeah but she was younger Rami and I were the same grade so we were together uh in the play you know our senior year and stuff and and Kirsten Dunst didn't do the plays but she was in drama and she of course was amazing too and uh yeah but Kat was younger but that girl like the voice on her can we discuss the Rami Malik. No, no, no. We can talk about it because Rami and I actually have talked since that came out. He connected with me and we're, we're all good. Like he, you know, was so sweet and we're

totally fine now. And we talked about it and we're good. And yeah, good. Well, the backstory is I listened to you on armchair expert and it was an amazing interview and you should be very proud. And in the interview, she just casually mentioned that to congratulate Rami on his big year when he was nominated for all this stuff, she did a throwback picture of them in New York as teenagers. And it was like the cutest picture. And he asked for it to be taken down. So this headline after that interview came out, and it was like crazy. everywhere I looked it was like Rami Malek makes Rachel Bilson remove an embarrassing photo like the press is desperate right now so there's nothing going on come on I know my friend sent

me a CNN link no I was like are you kidding me I was so mortified though like I was having a panic attack I had to like go to therapy that day and I was like I'm having anxiety like this is I did not want this to resurface in this way I feel so bad oh my god Rami's gonna think I'm doing this again and everything, but it actually turned out to be a good thing for a reason. So we were able to reconnect and like make it better and everything's great. Good. I felt so bad for you because hearing that interview, you knew that it wasn't anything calculated or you even trying to have clickbait. You were just having a really casual conversation. Yeah. And Dax like brought up Rami and I was like, well, you know, there's a funny story. And it was so like, but after I said

it i was like oh that's gonna i just had a feeling i was like yeah you always know no you know what else you know what else is i think as as being an actress who's been through the ringer of like having your moment of where you're like the thing you know and everyone's like gunning for you he was in that moment like it was clear that he's very uncomfortable in his own success at that moment because you don't realize how cool it is to be in that until way later you know when you're in it it's like a shell shock right absolutely you also strike me as the person who like you're so um not obsessed with your image right it's like you would never you wouldn't even think twice about it like you would just post this photo and be like how funny we're

so young and whatever yes and we yeah you know he was so gracious and I totally understood where he was coming from and he understood me and I was just so happy we were able to squash it and like move on and like you know yeah yeah I get it I totally understood and he knew I wasn't doing it with any ill intention so you know I I do want to make you feel better I have a very similar story I have a friend who I grew up in ballet with and she ended up marrying a very very famous actor in Hollywood and she's very private and this is way back when I had a blog I mean this is like 15 years ago and I posted this post of her and I in Toronto at this audition and I was like oh my god and how crazy is this is my friend she's look you know she went on and married but

she's mrs blah blah blah now she called my friend to call me to tell me to take the picture down so didn't even contact me directly said how dare she post this photo of me and say this what was it i've never spoken to me since it was just a picture of us in our dance leotards at an audition has never spoken to me since has only spoken to me through the friend and then i had and then fast forward. So I was like, Oh my God. And I was like, same as you. Oh my God. It was just a funny picture. Like, I didn't even think of it. We're so young. We're beautiful. Our skin is so taut. Like I didn't even think about it. Then flash forward 10, 15 years, I'm working at ET and I'm doing a junket interview for a movie, interviewing the husband. And he goes, Oh, you

grew up with my wife. And I was like, Oh yeah. And I didn't know what I was supposed to say. I walk out the door. There she is. We haven't spoken since the picture incident. And he was horrible so just know did you speak wait but yeah what happened when you saw her I was like oh hey girl it's so good to see you and I was like trying to be so nice but I'm also like you refused to speak to me you wouldn't answer my text messages you had to go through this friend of mutual friend of ours to anyway so these things happen just know when you're in therapy I'm in therapy for the same thing I still feel guilty about it like our intentions are pure and sometimes people are not the same. Life goes on. All right. So when we come back, when we come back, I have a game

prepared for Rachel that is going to blow your mind. All right. I haven't been able to stop talking about my aura ring to anyone that will listen. Literally at brunch today, Chris and I were showing his parents our aura ring and the app. Aura is committed to empowering people to take control of their personal health and daily routines. Basically, it's this little ring you wear and it tracks everything you want to know about your sleep, your temperature, and gives you personalized guidance messages like, hey, take it easy today. You didn't have a lot of deep sleep last night or babe, you got to get up and move. Fluctuations in skin temperature can be a key signal in monitoring menstrual cycles, forecasting fertility and detecting illnesses before symptoms

arise. Aura recognizes women's health as a wildly underserved and under-researched area of modern health. And not only are they supporting innovative fertility research, but they're also continuously learning and sharing the incredible discoveries that our communities are making about their menstrual cycles, and fertility with the Oura Ring. Oura helps you know what's happening inside your body. It's so great. This is an amazing gift for someone. It's water resistant. It comes in 2,004 colors for between $299 and $399. You can give or get the gift of health by visiting OuraRing.com. Visit OuraRing.com to learn more. That's OuraRing.com. There is nothing more exciting than when I find a new beauty skincare brand. And oh my gosh, I am so obsessed with our

sponsor, Osea. They're amazing. So Osea creates skin and body care products that are powered by the sea. They've made clean, safe skincare products since 1996 that are vegan and cruelty-free, which we love. They're responsibly sourced, plant-derived ingredients that are good for your skin and for the planet. And the best part is they're female-founded and family-operated by a mother and daughter team. So I've been using, oh my gosh, I'm obsessed with it. They're algae body oil. It instantly moisturizes and replenishes dry skin, leaving every inch silky smooth.
