Starting point is 00:03:11 your hand in something and feel around and identify what it was yeah it's like a spider or like an apple you would suck so bad at that yeah no no because this the droplet case that it was in was very similar to an eye drop but jack and all the other things i've done all the casings have been similar i just haven't looked at them jack why are you putting your listerine breath drops in the same area as your eye drops like to me one of them's in your medical drawer and one of them is in like your kitchen mint gum section of your pantry i'm unsure about that question that's actually a very good point it was just all in my like cat like my cabinet my toothpaste is in my everyday drawer and my yeast infection cream which is like you've also had is
Starting point is 00:03:50 like in a medical drawer like in a separate container well here's the problem living in venice where there is no storage whatsoever i really only i'm very limited there's one drawer i i have one i don't even have a drawer in my bathroom it's just a cabinet like a small little cabinet well i hope you enjoy living in venice i do it's worth it with your minty eyeballs it's worth it i'm going blind all your homeless people yeah yeah um okay kelty would you like to go sure my bad week i figured out that my husband does not actually like any of my it's honestly the same thing it is the same he doesn't like any of my instagram posts does your does chris ever even go on instagram yeah i don't picture him doing that he's on instagram

Starting point is 00:06:43 fantasy moments and like trying to look cute i'm not doing that okay i am and if you go with your girlfriends there is that you know what do you want to have for dinner oh mexican you weren't feeling like mexican but it's like what are you wearing you're wearing heels i guess i have to put on heels right it's not exactly what you and then you know you always have somebody has a melt down you want to kill one of your friends yeah you're like stop crying or one of them makes you take eight million pictures of them by the pool that's me nightmare jack anyway so it was a great trip i feel renewed and restored and like for the last six months of lady gang in 2018 we're gonna kill it oh love it crush it crush it crush okay okay hold on i'm eating a jelly bean i'm sorry
Starting point is 00:07:27 i'm disgusting all of you like um i am having a problem is this a good week oh god this is not i'm having a problem bad week this is not therapy becca why would good week be i'm having a problem why would it be the problem is people just keep sending me so many free clothes right not not the problem bad week is that i have been smoking a lot of marijuana okay i'm telling you wait is your bad week that your tolerance has gone way up because that's now my problem it has but that's not the problem when i was high one night i was lying there and i was like by the way our podcast has now turned into like mine and yours high times no it's true it's true i didn't even know you smoked weed honestly i'm like it took us two years of lady gang for me to realize
Starting point is 00:08:15 pothead it wasn't legal i couldn't you're following the rules i never smoked weed until like not even a year ago also i go through phases you know i went to college i became a very big pothead then i came out of college and i stopped a little while straight edge straight edge whatever so and also i'm a firm believer in you have to smoke marijuana at at the right time in your life you can't be super anxious and be smoking marijuana you know like you have to be feeling pretty good about your life like somewhat yeah emotionally okay yeah it's like mushrooms you can't take mushrooms when you're in a bad place don't take acid when you're depressed okay so i was sitting there thinking god this is a high thought and as i say it i've not vocalized this
Starting point is 00:08:58 yet so i'm scared but i was thinking there is scientific proof that smoking weed makes you hungry something there's something that happens and i was thinking why can't we tap into that for something to make us not hungry and then i realized it's adderall it's cocaine yeah and that's not legal so why is the only drug that's legal the one that makes you fat and the one that's not legal the one that makes you skinny you know what bravo and i'm sorry dr becca tobin has really gotten to the bottom of humanity's problems this week also i have taken adderall the legal form of cocaine a few times maybe three or four i can still eat i'm sorry i really yes yes i'm not the person who's like oh no i'm really i'm good i'm on adderall i'm like
Starting point is 00:09:46 give me the pizza i don't give a shit just eat it faster and be way more deliberate you can do it while you're cleaning your house yes what's a good week i can invent something to eat pizza while cleaning my house while i'm on adderall okay while watching tv and making lists and brushing my hair okay here's my good week so this was a while like a while back but it's kind of um like i revisited it so i was on the lady gang facebook group a while ago and i've talked occasionally about psoriasis and barely anything really other than the fact that i that i have it and i went on there and someone tagged me in a comment and it's the this whole chain of girls who have psoriasis and psoriasis like on their scalp and they're all like trading ideas and
Starting point is 00:10:35 trading like what tips because there's no cure it's just you sort of manage it so um i was dealing with like a lot of stress which makes it inflame and whatever and i had like kind of an outbreak if you will making it sound like herpes but it's not um and i used one of the tips from the girl I bought this shampoo. You stuck a coconut tampon up your vagina. Up in your ear. In my ear hole. No.
Starting point is 00:10:59 And I used one of the shampoos that this girl, like an over-the-counter. I just had never thought to use it. And it was amazing. And I was just thinking, it's not often that we get to benefit from that Facebook group as far as advice goes. Because we really got our shit together. Hashtag not at all. However, it was just amazing. And I got a taste of what those girls are doing for each other.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Yeah. It's powerful. it's nice it's powerful and it's just like people with psoriasis unite all right well coming up one of the most powerful women on youtube is with us teaching us things that we didn't know about being young and cool all the things now back to the lady gang our guest today is an actress and vlogger and i gotta level with you the fact that she was able to gain a fan base of over three million followers between her two YouTube channels before she could legally buy herself a bottle of rosé is ego-shattering for me.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Not only is she generating content for her two YouTube channels that is fun, free, lit, and a good time, she's also starring in a new Hulu TV show all night coming out on May 11th. Please teach us how to be as famous as you are. Welcome to the Lady Gang, Teela Dunn. Hello, guys. Hi. We're so happy to have you. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:12:20 You're so cute. You're like a Polly Pocket. I know. You're just the tiniest little thing. Do you feel like a supermodel? Well, I feel like a little, like, troll now. Oh, my God, no. And you're like the cute little doll.
Starting point is 00:12:30 How tall are you? I'm 5'3", but your girl's wearing heels, so I'm a bit like 5'5", right now. Oh. But you're just so, like, I could fit you in my pocket. Also, can we think about the fact that she has more followers than all of us combined times three? Yes. Yes, she does. I don't want to think about that, Jack.
Starting point is 00:12:47 like thanks for bringing it up like um you can go please exit no so first of all what is what's the secret sauce honestly you know this is gonna sound so corny and cliche but I swear so I have two channels as you guys know and my vlog channel was actually my first channel and at first I started making like all these music videos and doing all these like random skits because a lot of my friends were doing that and then I was like uh I don't know how I feel about this I'm kind of doing this because everybody else is doing it yeah so then i created another channel which was the second channel which is now the main channel very confusing yeah but i started doing beauty videos and that just came so natural in me i went to the mall and i was like oh my god guys i bought
Starting point is 00:13:31 this mascara at sephora look it works and i realized that there was a whole beauty community online and so i started posting with that and then that channel kind of took off and then i completely forgot about the other channel and then two years ago i was like vlogmas is a thing It's basically where people daily vlog in December up until Christmas or sometimes people go into, like, New Year's. And I was like, let me give this a go. Like, why not? And then once Christmas was over, I was just so addicted to vlogging. And that kind of just, like, spiraled into something else.
Starting point is 00:14:00 So now my second channel has over a million subscribers. And then, of course, my main channel is well over 2 million. And so it's crazy now I'm keeping up with both. But now I'm posting so frequently on my vlog channel. And that channel is just like my baby. I mean, both channels are amazing, but that channel is just so real and raw, and not only do I just document my life and do cool montage shots and fashion shots, I'm also giving advice and just filming myself with no makeup on or no extensions and just telling my fans how I'm feeling that day. I saw that. This was really cool about you, especially as a woman of color.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I saw recently you had a video of, like, extensions out, and it was just, like, your natural curly hair, and you're like, I like myself this way. Is it hard to sort of go au naturel when you are so glamorous? Honestly, that's the thing. I feel like there's so many rumors and misconceptions about who I am because people are like, oh, my God, she always wears, like, extensions or she wears weaves and she's always glamorous or whatever. She doesn't love herself or whatever. And then that person tells that person. Then all of a sudden they're like, oh, yeah, the reason why she wears hair extensions is because she hates her curly hair. When that is not the case at all, it's just, like, half the time when I'm getting my weavery done, I don't have time to, like, document every little thing.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I want to, like, work on a video on, like, getting my hair done. So that just came about. I was like, you know what? I have no extensions in right now, no makeup on. Let me film this video. That video ended up doing amazing. And it was just a 12-minute video of me sitting in my room with no makeup, no extensions, and just telling girls that I love who I am.
Starting point is 00:15:25 And I am perfectly comfortable and confident in my skin with nothing on and no hair extensions. And I'm just as confident with extensions and with makeup. Oh, that's so cute because I'm not. I was just thinking the same thing. You're like, oh, you are? Wow. Oh, good for you. When I had extensions for many years, and then the first time they took it all out,
Starting point is 00:15:45 and they blow-dried my hair, and I was like, wait, this is all I have? Where is it? I had these three strands that I'm going to hang on to for the rest of my life. Oh, my goodness. That's the thing with- Go for you, Taylor. Go for you. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:55 That's the thing with curly hair. It's so funny. Your hair is so short, and then you straighten it out, and you're like, oh, my God, I have hair. It's like crazy. I do like that you post videos like that, because especially- How old are you? I'm 21.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Yeah. At your age, you guys have all grown up with social media, and that's your lives, and you look at everybody else on social media we talk about it a lot yeah and everybody's just comparing themselves to these photoshopped facetuned instagram instagram pictures and it's like those people don't look like that in real life nobody does oh my god i have a story time for you ladies i'm not gonna name drop i'm just i'm gonna keep it a little vague but that that is so true what you just said because so many girls young girls i'm talking 12 13 that look older than me by the way like it's insane yeah that is true they put on so many so much
Starting point is 00:16:43 makeup and then they look themselves in the mirror and they're like why don't I look like this Instagram girl because that Instagram girl doesn't even look like that I went on a trip with a bunch of Instagram girls like like the Instagram girls that are always you know looking all perfect and not a poor insight and you know waist itty bitty and then the butt you know all the curves and all that and let me tell you something those girls were 100 insecure with themselves oh yeah yet those girls are looking at those girls i was on the trip with saying i want to be like this like everybody has insecurities and those girls are facetuned in their bodies so don't you know be so hard on yourself it's like everybody is insecure about something even selena gomez and she's
Starting point is 00:17:23 freaking flawless beyonce like everybody beyonce probably wakes up and she's like what is this Well, she's Beyonce. Right. Could not be more perfect. No, it's true. It's true. She wears, like, three pairs of tights. She probably has cellulite.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Yeah. And she's like, how do I get rid of this? How do I get rid of this? And, like, you can't, even if you're rich. Money can't buy you smooth legs. Oh, really? That's true. You can fix your face, girl.
Starting point is 00:17:42 We've asked. You can. We have, like. We've inquired. Yeah. We have really. We are, like, we'll mortgage our house, but it's not going to work. So, your boyfriend is a major bib.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Oh, thank you. Are you ever, like, he's too hot? No. I need to be, like, the hottest. You need to be the hot one, yeah. I mean, she is the hot one. Still. That's what I'm saying, but, like, he's, like, double hot.
Starting point is 00:18:07 He's hot, right? Honestly, so he's my third boyfriend. People always think, oh, my God, Teela's got ten white boyfriends. What is she doing? Who gives a shit? He's my third boyfriend, and who cares? Well, you're going to have, like, 100,000 more. I know.
Starting point is 00:18:19 I'm going to get married. I know. On to the next state. Yeah. No, but all my boyfriends have kind of looked similar, if I'm being honest. Like, they've all been tall models. He's actually a teacher. He's actually a teacher.
Starting point is 00:18:33 He's a teacher? Yeah. For what? He teaches, like, elementary school kids back in Australia. How old is he? He's 22. Oh, okay. Good for him.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Well, he'll be 23 next month. How did you meet him? Instagram. No way. Obviously. That's how kids meet these days. No, but I know. I've spoken to a bunch of people about this, and, like, Instagram is, like, popping.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Like, you can meet a lot of people in there if you have, because now it says, like, followed by, so you can see, like, it's kind of like Facebook. You can see if you have mutuals. You got a little bit of mutuals. You ask that mutual, is this person a snake, if they're a troll? And then you just slide in. Did you slide right into his DMs? I followed him, and then I think we slid in at the same time.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I don't know. We, like, slid in. Does he have a lot of followers? I mean. Or is he, like, a normal person? No. I mean, my fans are starting to leech, so honey's growing. But he's not, like, famous or anything.
Starting point is 00:19:16 He's not using you. Oh, no. How do you figure out if somebody's using you for the fame? I mean, you never really know at this point, right? You can tell you don't know. you i think you can tell like my hatred we're not naming names i'm just gonna say my ex um yeah the last there's only two so we can get like we can i'm gonna dive on this no i know i can't wait just the last guy i dated it just it happened really really really really really really really
Starting point is 00:19:42 really really really quickly and it's never a good that's never a good thing one and also um you can just tell how people act towards you on camera versus how they act towards you off camera and there was a huge difference between on camera and off camera and on camera was way better than off camera which is never good so yeah you get him a lot of followers that one yeah but they're all sprinkling down good like how many how many sprinkling down is a great i mean i don't even know like 70,000 rings oh my god yes honey stacks she's stuck jesus yeah you're really i start vlogging look at your ring i mean but i want yours trades trades these you want to trade you one gentleman engagement ring you're gonna have a husband i'll take your cute australian
Starting point is 00:20:26 perfect okay so i do want to ask you i do love your feed and i think one of the questions that girls always ask mostly me um i mean i'm asking it is like what are your tips for instagram what apps do you use how do you plan it out like do you shoot all your photos in one day and then put them out throughout the month like what's your life like honestly with me i mean some girls are so strict about it some girls have like apps or they're like okay like they have one app and i'm like is that instagram she's like no i'm just like practicing my layout so my feed matches i'm like oh girl you're taking that too seriously um with me honestly i'm like at ps i'd like to add that i do that i'm trying that's how hard i try inspirational quote not inspirational quote
Starting point is 00:21:06 inspirational quote she like doesn't every other every other see but that's still committed that's a pattern i got no time because sometimes things happen and then you're like i have to post a quote before i can tell the world about this certain thing no i know oh we know that's deep i feel like you just follow your heart follow your heart i love that restaurant is that a restaurant vegan restaurant where incredible it's like kind of in the valley i think are you vegan no i'm pescatarian okay i eat fish yeah i can't give up sushi but i don't eat anything and i barely eat dairy like i'm all about the almond milk life but back to what i was saying i'm lucky enough to have a lot of photographer friends in l.a that i'm really close with and so we just like shoot pictures
Starting point is 00:21:46 and then like i spread them out but not every single photo has to be a professional photo in fact a lot of times i'll post an iphone picture and that does better so it just depends um but for the most part i like my feet to just be like colorful and fun and that's kind of really colorful that makes it really yeah like when people watch my vlogs i want them to feel like oh my god this girls so fun like that's kind of what i do so yeah that's cool so what filter do you use filter it i honestly my photographer friends they fix it up they edit it yeah so i don't really edit my photos and when i do post iphone photos i do not use facetune like i know no shade to facetune yeah i've never used you don't need it let's be serious thank you that's so sweet you're like
Starting point is 00:22:23 i got it from my mom and my dad um but no yeah i don't use facetune okay so so like if your brand is fun my brand is not fun so like do i just avoid color all together how do i really embody this black and white a sepia tone would be nice oh that's perfect that's like old fashioned like you know what color the world is when it's like a rainy day yeah that's like a perfect it's like seattle there's a seattle yeah that's her that's your filter seattle is just like very very mute the littlest like 10% color 10% maybe five oh this salad looks okay medium it's medium just a green salad with no tomatoes yeah now I know you do these like haul videos which are my dream I would like to do a haul video but I never get a haul so so tell me about this life I feel like
Starting point is 00:23:15 this is the best part of being a vlogger is when brands send you something and they send you just a giant box and you're like here's what i got at my hall so tell me how how do you get invited to the hall how do they send you this stuff and then like how much do you keep how much do you resell like tell me about the hotline wait honestly i do have a question about this before you start do a lot of people resell the shit the brands give them for free i don't know i know we keep them i like if i if there's something that i don't like i give it to my mom or my sister yeah um or if i just have a lot of the same thing because sometimes brands will just send you the same thing just so that you don't run out and then i do giveaways which is always nice like i can do
Starting point is 00:23:54 like instagram giveaways or retweet for dm which is what i do on twitter um or a lot of times i'll just be like if you thumb up this vlog the next vlog i'll you know like make it a cute contest but um honestly if i'm gonna be honest pr packages are incredible and each what's really cool is like each brand is competing with another brand in a sense so like they just keep the boxes keep getting bigger and better and cooler and i'm like i'm not mad at this competition yeah i'm all for it so um it's really cool just like coming home from a long day of working and filming and editing and just being like wow it's christmas what's the best thing you ever got oh my gosh i don't know it depends on the brand like benefits incredible tarts incredible two faces i mean they're all
Starting point is 00:24:35 incredible but um one time benefit was came out with this mascara and uh i don't know it was called like blast something it kind of had like a space theme and i got a text from the and like the brand person from benefit and they're like are you going to be home at this time and i was like yeah why they're like please just you need to be home for this package and i was like oh my god what's going on i opened the door they sent an astronaut a guy in a freaking astronaut costume yes in a space he was literally full on and they gave me this billboard with my face in it and they put me in space. And so it's like
Starting point is 00:25:10 in my house. Just for, and the only thing they gave me was a little mascara. So they sent an astronaut. I was like, this is next level.
Starting point is 00:25:15 We're doing something wrong with our lady boxes. Honestly. They need to be delivered by like the Chippendales answers. But I have a question to go back to us who are 800 years old.
Starting point is 00:25:24 What is the haul? H-A-U-L. It's like, they get like a bunch of shit and they open it on. You open it, you unbox it, you say what your
Starting point is 00:25:31 favorite products are. A haul. H-A-U-L. I know, I get it. But like, okay, guys. Like, I went to Zara, and I had a Zara haul. Exactly. I got butt sick.
Starting point is 00:25:40 I'm so... There's something about haul that means, like, a bunch of shit. Yeah. No, I know. Like, you haul, okay? It's been around forever. But I thought you meant, like, haul, like, the school hauls. Oh, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Not like, not like, no. Like, lockers and tile floors. Like, you stand in front of the lockers and pull things out. You can't do them because you're not in school anymore. We are old. You're so relevant. You're so relevant. All right, we're going to play a game now.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Oh, I love games. It's called Like or Don't Like, just because you're so popular on Instagram. Thank you. Also, can I just say, this is, like, very, like, random, but I feel like my Instagram blew up as soon as I turned 21. And my age demographic went up. Like, they're older on my Instagram now. Because people want to have sex with you.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Oh, legally. Wow. I, like, posted a photo when I turned 21 with wine, and, like, all the adults are like, okay, I'll follow her now. That's so weird. No, it's true. Wait, no one wants to follow a kid. And I guess that's true.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Or they feel weird. Yeah, no. You know, they probably creep, but they're like, oh, she's probably like 16. I don't want to fall in love with her. This is the equivalent to when I was growing up, our local radio station had a countdown to when the Olsen twins turned legal age. Are you serious? Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Everybody had countdowns for that. I didn't know that. Because men felt weird about liking them. Or watching their stuff. Yes. So they had a countdown to when they were legal. So maybe somebody had that for you. I think so.
Starting point is 00:27:00 That's great. That's my theory. Listen, I want to come back in my next life as you. i've already figured it out and also you know what i gotta be honest with you it goes to shit after this like oh yeah like not to like not to ruin your jordan's face our intern jordan's face was incredible no but the last great birthday is 21 no because there's nothing to look forward to but 25 my sister you can rent a car it's and like 25 is scary 25 you're like i'm closer to 30 than 20 yeah that's when you start like having existential crises but i feel like 25 is like
Starting point is 00:27:34 my next like big birthday 25 is when your gyno's like are you gonna freeze your eggs no it's not i mean we just don't know it's not 35 fine um anyway i'm sure i'm sure you'll continue to hold 22 like what do you do when you turn 22 like it's just 22 but i feel like 25 is like the next time i'm gonna be like we're gonna have a big party yeah okay and then when you turn 30 you're like no are you kidding i've already got my 30th birthday plan what are you gonna do 30 party and it's gonna be like masquerade themed okay it's gonna be incredible you're not gonna want to you're gonna be crying you're gonna tell everyone to take it out of their calendars and if they acknowledge it you're gonna scream i had a big 30th birthday party and my party dress
Starting point is 00:28:16 party dress says festive and my eyes say disappointed just dying on the inside It's just all hangovers are so bad. Oh, no. Anyway, get ready for this hangover. We won't scare you. Okay. Like or don't like, we're going to go around the table. You say if you like it or don't like it.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Sounds good to me. At Kelty every day. What? At Kelty. Stop pumping out. Kelty, nobody's going to follow you. No one's going to follow you. No.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Okay. Face tune. Don't like. Don't like unless I have, like, something, a giant zit, and I have to post something. Don't like unless my arm was smashed in a picture and then I face-tuned it and then everybody called me out on it. True. I like it because you can do the whiten tool and make, like, kind of gross interiors, like, crisp white and make it look like everything's perfect. Or snow. It's like my winter thing.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Yeah. Fabulous. Okay. iPhone X. Like! I have it! Ugh. I mean, I would like to like it, but I don't know what that life is like. I have a 7. Wait, what? iPhone? How old is that? I have a 7 with a cracked screen.
Starting point is 00:29:19 do i have an eight what year do i have remember when i was iphone free your mother was posting your ultrasound on an iphone okay let me tell you something when i was in high school when i was your age we had pagers and your friends would page you like their secret code and then you would borrow 25 cents and you go to the payphone at the mall to call them back and they'd be like 9-1-1 and they would just be like, hey, you at the mall? And you'd be like,
Starting point is 00:29:50 oh, it was just me at Claire's. I never knew that pager life. Did you ever? You did? I had a cranberry colored pager. I must have just missed it. Pagers, actually, I could go back to pager life
Starting point is 00:30:00 because you could choose. You could go off the grid. You'd be like, I didn't get your page. That is cool. Also, can I just say, like, honestly, there are kids now
Starting point is 00:30:08 that are like four years old, not exaggerating, with iPhones. No. I got my first phone when I was 13. Like, that's a reasonable age to get a first phone.
Starting point is 00:30:16 I had a razor it was hot pink it was fun it was cute oh you had a razor I had a razor you would have a razor I feel like that's
Starting point is 00:30:22 your personality and it was hot pink is that the flippy phone yeah it's a really thin one I got to flip it yeah you can take a picture you can like flip it back
Starting point is 00:30:30 shut iPhone X oh yeah I have it you like it it's like or don't like Jack yeah I have it yeah
Starting point is 00:30:38 it's not have it or don't have it the face ID's kind of annoying though I will tell you sometimes the face ID's kind of annoying oh yeah I don't want to
Starting point is 00:30:45 I don't want to have to do that. It probably won't recognize me. It's super creepy and futuristic, too, because I have Apple Pay, so I'll go to Starbucks and Apple Pay, and then I'm like, they're like, oh, you can go to Pay Now, and I'm like, I have to pay it with my face? That's freaking weird. That is weird. Back to Jack.
Starting point is 00:31:00 It's all tea. Like, okay. I don't like it. I can't figure out where the home screen is, and I don't have it. Well, that's because you don't have it. You use it for two days, and then you'd understand it. Exactly. She knows.
Starting point is 00:31:09 She knows. now I got help this week with this list and Jordan put this list together and I honestly don't know what she means by this giant word logramithic logramithic the order that
Starting point is 00:31:24 Instagram posts you know how it's monological logarithic Instagram I do not like I do not like it I hate it she doesn't notice
Starting point is 00:31:39 I don't really notice that much. Like, I only follow, like, my friends and, like, a brisk four celebrities. No, but who are your four celebs? Um, I follow. A brisk four. I love that. Who do I follow? I follow Ariana Grande.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Love her. Yeah. I follow Shay Mitchell. I follow Bizarro ones. I love, like, I follow, like. Bizarro. Oh, I follow that one Victoria's Secret model. Romy?
Starting point is 00:32:05 Romy. Romy. I love her. She's so cute. Okay. I don't follow any models what am I doing I feel bad about myself
Starting point is 00:32:11 no we we've talked about this I follow every model what do you guys think of like or don't like hashtag no filter oh my god do not like
Starting point is 00:32:20 well I think it's a lie number one but yeah I feel like it's a joke and by this time like the joke is over yeah the gig is up
Starting point is 00:32:26 I'm gonna have to call Tila every time I do a caption and be like is this hip no no no I don't use it I don't use it when it's a problem
Starting point is 00:32:33 my only hashtag is hashtag OOTD or hashtag selfie that's it what's OGG OOTD is Alpha Dead. Okay, I thought I knew that.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Girl, June Moss was the original OOTD, okay? That was my fashion blog. Jack? Hashtag no filter? No, I said it was dumb. But you didn't say I like it or don't like it. Dislike or not liking it? No, it's not dislike or like.
Starting point is 00:32:57 It's like or no like. No like. Okay. I'm also no like. Food grams. When people post their lunch. I can't say I do it, but I post it on my story and I appreciate it. I do too.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Story is okay. Story is fine. I think Instagram posts is a little too much. Like or don't? I feel like I'm right in the cusp. Like, I can appreciate a good food post. A maybe like? A maybe like.
Starting point is 00:33:19 A like and maybe take it away. Yeah. Like and unlike it. Yeah. Oh, you know what? That's deep. A like to appreciate and then I'm like, oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:26 I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. Take it back. Okay. I sort of like it if it's a food or like health blogger. Yeah. Avocado toast is so beautiful. I will double take
Starting point is 00:33:35 I will double tap an avocado toast that's true or an acai bowl you're so right they always look so much more beautiful than they are
Starting point is 00:33:43 in your mouth though I know no they're always disappointing always disappointing I see you're like this is gonna be so good
Starting point is 00:33:50 and then you're just like really where are y'all going y'all need to go to backyard bowls no I have I mean it's pretty good but it still looks
Starting point is 00:33:56 so much more beautiful and then you eat so much of it and then I'm starving right after what oh my god I don't even finish one
Starting point is 00:34:04 I'm full. They're big. They're huge. You're getting the wrong size. Well, you weigh three pounds. We're a lot bigger than you. Your stomach is the size of my eyeball. Okay, live your best life.
Starting point is 00:34:13 She is bullying us right now. I'm just kidding. No, I'm just kidding. You get the child size, and you're like, hey. I do, actually. I get a lot of kid sizes. Although some restaurants, they're like, you have to be under 12 to get this. I'm like, do you want me to waste your food?
Starting point is 00:34:24 Yeah. That's a good point. That is a good point. Right? I don't want to waste it. Like, I'm trying to go green. My boyfriend eats everything I eat, so I'm like, there you go. Bye, garburetor.
Starting point is 00:34:32 That's what boyfriends are for. Yep. I do that to my husband. You eat his food? I finish his food. You're so funny. That does not surprise me. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me at all.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Okay, this is a Twitter one, like or don't like, celebrity death tweets. This is what I- What? What? What do you mean? Like, R.I.P. Avicii? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:34:52 It's like when- That was so sad. Okay, it's when a celebrity passes away, like Robin Williams, right? And then, like, every celebrity in the world, whether they knew them or didn't know them, all of a sudden writes, like, we lost a legend. The great, you know. Well, no. I feel like that's good. I think that's nice.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Yeah, I like that. Listen, if I die, I hope the three people who know me in Hollywood tweet about me, okay? Yeah. I just think it's, well, this is not funny, but it's interesting when somebody dies, all of a sudden they had five billion best friends. oh well don't even get me started on that and five million girlfriends just coming out of the woodwork hey now okay next one cryptic passive-aggressive tweets what do you i love them like them i i mean i'll sip some tea like if you get dumped by your boyfriend and you like write some like vague passive-aggressive tweet about it yeah oh i dislike i think it's so dumb and toxic
Starting point is 00:35:50 when people like tweet their dirty laundry well it gets fans involved it does right oh i'm not about it yeah like i would just tweet like god is good what did you do that's my tweet after is that what you tweeted after your breakup god is good um i don't know i did you have to broke up like so long ago i mean like feels like forever ago so you didn't have to tell your people i did briefly in a vlog i just literally said like oh by the way for you guys asking like i'm single that's it oh okay that's not bad there was no there were no you didn't have to like do like a whole instagram post nobody cheated on anybody there was no instagram post that's nice and then they forgot about him do you still follow him on instagram oh no good no but you take down facebook
Starting point is 00:36:33 friends with me did you take down the photos of the two of you together no okay there were only two photos oh and one of them was a brand deal so i have to i have to get my point my new brand is w-w-t-d yeah what was he like you're our new hero okay next hashtag blessed no uh i wouldn't hashtag it i would just say like i'm blessed the hashtag is down so who made blessed a thing like god no but like who made it a thing on the internet oh justin bieber like a lot of songs like blessed yeah like a lot of rap songs you DJ Khaled oh that's true
Starting point is 00:37:15 yeah I used to do that a lot on Snapchat yep that's what it was I do I don't mind it when people use it
Starting point is 00:37:21 because he would say bless us when they're being sarcastic like hashtag bless like if you showed your car accident but not hashtag bless
Starting point is 00:37:30 because you're alive but like hashtag bless or if like you go to Starbucks and then your drink falls over and you're like hashtag bless like sarcastic oh and ironic blessed
Starting point is 00:37:38 I love an ironic blessed yeah I don't it's not it's like or don't I like an erotic blast. Okay. Okay, so the next thing says, I added, it's called each girl adds their own.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Okay, so what is your, like, least favorite thing people do on the internet? Inspirational quotes. Oh, my God. Least favorite thing people do on the internet? I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. There's so much. I also would like to just defend myself.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Sorry, this is between Becca and I. I feel like I do, it's not such an inspirational quote, but it's kind of like a cool quote. Oh. No. That's not my least favorite thing. Okay. My least favorite thing, babies. Oh, I have one.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Babies? What is it? When people start rumors. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's not fun. It's just like, just shut up. And where are you getting these things from? It's people who are bored.
Starting point is 00:38:30 It's insane. They're bored. Yeah, I've heard some crazy rumors about myself. Oh, what's the worst? What's the worst? um that like i've like cheated on people or like that i'm secretly pregnant oh just like scandal that seems hard to hide no absolutely not like we can tell from that bump girl um but i don't know just like crazy rumors people make up the worst is that like
Starting point is 00:38:57 people get it from like a source which is the troll it's a troll source and then people are like this person said this and then it's just crazy so i don't like rumors and i don't like just just negative nasty people online yeah like with me like if i'm watching a youtuber that i don't know and something they do really aggravates me and annoys me i'm not gonna keep watching that person right i'm like turn it off because you're normal i'm like you're not a troll i'm like this person annoys me like i'm exiting out why would i continue to watch and like write a message like i just wasted 10 minutes of my life it's true you don't like me move along but then again those haters thank you for the extra view so who's really winning jessica what were
Starting point is 00:39:36 you gonna say your least favorite thing is we say everything on social media and we may have done it so i mean i'm sorry i loathe when people are like super secret project coming up oh we're shooting something super secret oh big announcement coming it's such a secret it's like definitely oh my god your secret is so lame like and then the secret ends up being something that's so so lame oh it's the best and it's the best when it's like somebody that not worth the build up unless you're like an uber celeb nobody cares about your secret project
Starting point is 00:40:08 it's like the like millions of bloggers out there and I'm like wow you're like campaign with Ken congrats mazel tov moving on I had to watch you build that up like it was gonna be something exciting my least favorite thing
Starting point is 00:40:25 and I think this was started by like Kylie Jenner is when she'd like have this selfie on her mouthing a rap song like into Snapchat and now everybody else that like now looks like her does the same thing to some Drake song and like with their body
Starting point is 00:40:41 and looking all sexy with some stupid filter on their face can't stand it yep that's a bad one yep I'm mine's very similar my least favorite thing is when the girls like it's just their face and then there's no music or anything oh no and it's just and it's just like oh not no music oh yeah
Starting point is 00:40:57 oh I know it's just like a pose like it's like a burst but no one's taking your picture but you're like moving all your angles i don't like that yeah it's true it's kind of like just want to show the process i guess it's i'd rather see like a full tutorial like i'd rather see a fast flash cam of you like from no makeup to the makeup and then like a finished pose or something yeah those videos are cool i like those yeah me too that's my favorite music at least give me a song yeah it's just like awkward silence all right so we didn't know that tila was gonna have it so together honestly it's a little disappointing i'm feeling quite bad about all three of us like usually i'm just feeling bad
Starting point is 00:41:28 about me but becca and jack like you're all she's trumping you too what would tila do it's not um when we come back we're gonna have our new segment it used to be formerly called ask the lady gang now it's gonna be called what would tila do oh hey ladies get funky ask the lady gang and we're back before we start if you guys want 20 off of jackmanic.com use code lady gang i have not done a jackmanic ad in forever yeah tila used to wear my stuff you're gonna start wearing my stuff again Yeah, send me the good. Yeah, girl. Would it be a haul?
Starting point is 00:42:02 A million. Just kidding. Will it be a Jack Vanek haul? Oh, new word of the day. A haul. We'd love a good haul. We'd love a good haul. Okay, so for this portion of the podcast, you're going to help us answer some questions.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Sounds good to me. And you're, like, so wise. Thank you. All right, first question comes from Anonymous. Oh. Back up a little, Jack. Sorry. Was I okay before?
Starting point is 00:42:26 No. Anonymous says, and this is quite a long question, so get ready. I was dating this guy for a little over a year. My best friend started to talk to him, and I had no clue. They started to hang out and talk behind my back. He broke up with me and me having no idea because she's my best friend. Why would I think she would do that? I slowly pieced together that it was her he was with.
Starting point is 00:42:46 So fast forward one week. She was out of my life. Fast forward a few weeks, and I was back together with the prick. A year later, her and I rekindled our friendship, and I was still with that prick. I finally got my life together and dumped his ass because I found out he was talking to, like, three other girls. We're done. I found out this summer that my dear, quote-unquote, best friend is actually talking, hanging out, and spending the night at my ex's house. Isn't it a girl code to not date an ex?
Starting point is 00:43:10 Like, yeah, I moved on, and I love my boyfriend now, but don't put me in the position of having to be around my ex and my best friend and not have to worry about her talking about what I have to tell her. It's all a mess, and I think she's a snake. Like, tell me what you would do because I took the high road and just gave her a strongly worded text about what I thought, but I didn't freak out. Why is she still friends with this girl? I don't know. That's what I'm asking, too, because it sounds like she has it all together now. She's moved on. She has a new boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:43:36 She got rid of him. Why are you still holding on to the friend that was secretly talking to your man behind your back? Twice. I would have just cut the girl off. Yeah, no. But I also think, in my opinion, that everything happens for a reason. I know that's, like, super cliche. and like clearly
Starting point is 00:43:50 they're good for each other because they're both like her and her friend no the boyfriend the ex and the friend clearly they're a better match they're both kind of snakes
Starting point is 00:43:59 yeah super snaky so I would just let them have each other and distance yourself from her I don't know why she's like surrounding herself with that person
Starting point is 00:44:05 right and the question is isn't it girl code not to date an ex and yes that is girl code not to date an ex so obviously not a friend and also I wouldn't keep her around
Starting point is 00:44:13 your current boyfriend because the same thing could continue to happen girl has no problem yeah so I would just It depends. I think when you're young, like you're in high school or college, and you're in like the same friend groups, there are times where like, you'll date someone in eighth grade, and then in 10th grade, like your friend will date them. And like, you know, when you're younger, and your circle is really small, if she's younger, that can be really hard. But my whole thought is like, you're, you need to be done being friends with this person. Yeah. And even though you might be in the same friend group, like you are no longer in the same friend group. A good friend, if they had genuine feelings for your ex, like, here's the thing. If you had an amicable breakup with the ex, and then she later down the line had feelings for him, you had feelings for her, the right thing to do is to go to your friend.
Starting point is 00:44:58 She should have come to you and been like, yeah, listen, we have feelings. Yeah. But, like, no. No. The behind the back thing is me, shitty friend. Okay. Next question. Broken girl code.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Comes from Mary. I'm not going to say her last name. Mary. uh mary says i'm a 19 year old college student living in a house with all of my closest friends boys and girls i recently run into a problem because i've been hooking up with one of my guy housemates that sounds like real world and we can't seem to stop he's one of my closest friends but i don't know if i want anything serious with him right now however i would sure get jealous if he brought home another girl i have no idea what to do or say to him about this please help oh this
Starting point is 00:45:38 sounds messy this is one of those i want to be cool so let's have friends let's be friends with benefits that never ends up like working out especially not in the same house no no i oh that's bad what would you what would you do if you're in her situation if i was in her situation i would have the talk of like what are we yeah because otherwise he's just gonna be like hey we're just hooking up like you don't mean anything to me and then he's gonna be like since you're my bestie i'm going on a date with this girl i really like and then boom it's gonna she's gonna explode and like who knows he could have those same feelings for her and he might be mad if she brings home a guy but wait she says that she doesn't know if she wants any sir anything she's
Starting point is 00:46:19 lying she's lying though she's lying to herself if she if she's gonna get jealous also at 19 who like i'm sorry but what find me a woman that can have sex that's not a that is somebody that you don't want to be with. No, 100%. Right? I mean, nobody can really do that in general, let alone somebody that's your backup. I mean, only I have.
Starting point is 00:46:43 But you're a guy. Becca's always the only one in the world. True, true. But no, I think this is a messy situation. I think she should have that conversation with him before it gets worse. But also, I think it's dangerous, the situation they're in in general,
Starting point is 00:46:57 just living in a house together, being best friends, and having feelings. If things go south, they're going south. They're probably going south regardless, which is unfortunate. Yikes, yikes, yikes. But tell them how you feel. Good luck, Mary. Okay, last question comes from Lacey.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Hashtag blessed. Hashtag blessed. Lacey says, I'm 23. I graduated from college almost a year ago. Was in a sorority. The girls I was closest with, roommates and friends from the sorority, all live in different locations due to jobs, boyfriends, et cetera. I moved back home, which is out of state, to start my career, and my boyfriend is graduating
Starting point is 00:47:30 in the beginning of may he'll be moving to my city so we can be together and no long no longer long distance he is seriously my best friend at home i don't have many close friends here i grew apart from most of my high school friends and most people don't reach out to me first so i spend a lot of time alone when i'm not with a boyfriend okay so she's alone most of the time my two roommates from college seem closer to each other and i feel left out i feel like they're bad friends because they don't reach out to me to catch up or see how i'm doing and they're also very petty towards me and my boyfriend's relationship aka never like my pics of us on instagram etc okay even though he is seriously the greatest guy i have ever met or
Starting point is 00:48:06 been with how do i make new friends where i'm living now or how do i deal with sort of crappy friends i need future bridesmaids and i'm scared i won't have too many great friends i can ask to be in my wedding someday number one you can't cultivate good friends unless you are a good friend yes so if you're like i spend time alone people are reaching out to me then you should be reaching out in any relationship whether it's relationship like whether it's boyfriend or girlfriend or friendship or family it takes two to tango right it needs to be 50 50 each way and it sounds like she just puts walls up and expects people to just like figure it out no shade no tea just facts um and so i don't know i mean i don't think you should base friendship on who likes a
Starting point is 00:48:47 photo like i don't like all my friends photo it doesn't mean i have a problem with them sometimes i'm busy i barely like anybody's photo yeah exactly don't my husband never likes my instagram photos i'm married to him and like yeah i don't it's maybe you're the one being petty if you're worried about that like that is not a sign of friendship whatsoever instagram stories it could also be they're a little jealous are they single sometimes it's hard for you know single girlfriends to really be like gung-ho about your serious relationship with obviously an amazing guy if you're saying he's amazing yeah but also maybe he's not amazing and you're wrong oh i didn't say that okay but like you know sometimes like he's the most amazing guy and your friends are like
Starting point is 00:49:26 avoiding you for a reason because they might hate him i think she could be one of those types of girls where like she spends 24 hours a day with her boyfriend that's what it kind of seems like especially if one of the friends are single they're like oh well we don't want to be third wheel and she never reaches out to me so yeah right no and i think it's like when you are in a relationship and your other friends are single you do kind of have to make more of that effort to be into like situations that are happening because you kind of just assume that your friends and relationships are spending time with their boyfriends yeah yeah but I feel like if you're a good friend you'd make time like I was I was always the single friend and my friends
Starting point is 00:49:56 like in the friend group I was like the single friend like both my friends are in serious relationships they still are and now I'm kind of like yeah boyfriend now but like I still hung out with him all the time like yeah and it wasn't weird at all and just like let the boyfriends be and that was it and they live in other cities I mean this is this sounds kind of messy I would just like find a hobby the lady gang is a mess all of us across the world nobody has we lead by example yeah my advice is like go to yoga take a yoga class that's the one thing that really de-stresses me and it's a good workout i would take a yoga class if you can make some friends there focus on yourself maybe you don't spend 24 hours a day with your boyfriend and just like
Starting point is 00:50:38 yeah reach out to your friends don't expect everybody to just keep reaching out to you because clearly that's not working and on that note our new friend Tila has a new show on Hulu called All Night
