Young Hollywood

Hi, I'm here with the cast of Awkward. How are you guys?

Guest

Good, how are you?

Young Hollywood

Good, thank you. Looking beautiful.

Guest

Thank you.

Guest

Fashion trends.

Young Hollywood

You look I love that you're sporting the rose gold, love your outfit.

Guest

Saw her in the elevator going up and I'm like, I want to go home and change now cuz you look fantastic.

Guest

Oh, thank you.

Guest

Let me guess, Lululemon. I know my fashion.

Guest

I have this thing, I don't know if it's actually a trend. I think it might be an LA trend. Like fitness fitness clothes just like for all the time.

Young Hollywood

I'm loving your rose gold necklace.

Guest

Oh, thank you. It actually, um, is a little map. It has a diamond on the at the place that, uh, my fiance and I had our first date.

Guest

Like nice fitness clothes. It's all I wear all the time.

Young Hollywood

But do you actually work out or do you just wear the fitness clothes?

Guest

Sometimes, sometimes I just make you think I worked out.

Guest

And then on the other side it has where our wedding venue.

Young Hollywood

Oh my gosh. That's love. That is love. Wow.

Guest

This is the trend that I finally succumbed to, which is the over the knee boot.

Guest

That's what I was gonna say. Rose gold is huge and my engagement ring is actually yellow gold, which is old school.

Guest

I didn't think that a tapered leg all the way down was gonna stay in for a long time. And I think it's here to stay, and now I think the over the knee boot is here to stay and it better be, because I just bought some.

Young Hollywood

Were you watching on Instagram?

Guest

Okay, so, I really like this girl, Chiara Ferragni. She has the dopest tattoos.

Guest

Beauty tip, I would say, for us blondes who might be a an ash blonde, um, when it's grown out or a brunette. Uh, if it's growing out and you can't you can't get to the to your hair guy to do your roots, a good dry shampoo will cover those roots.

Guest

I got this this great thing, actually. You, uh, you stand in the tub and you you turn the water on and the water falls all over you and you and you and you scrub yourself.

Young Hollywood

You're very high tech. Wow. I might try that.

Guest

Yeah, you get clean, it's cool. It's good, works really well.

Young Hollywood

I love that, I love that. Thank you for that tip.

Guest

You're welcome.

Young Hollywood

I don't think we would've found that out anywhere else.

Guest

I was thanking you for that visual as well, Bow.

Guest

A good dry shampoo can can hold you over for a good two to three weeks. Possibly even longer. That's what I do when I don't wanna wash my hair.

Guest

Well, that too. A good dry shampoo.

Guest

That too, but dry shampoo has really changed my life.

Guest

Oldie but a goodie for me, it's sleep. Nothing's nothing is ever better than sleep. Um, but if an actual product, dry shampoo.

Guest

I was gonna say dry shampoo, Barrett. You keep like,

Guest

Yes, dry shampoo, specifically from Drybar has is the best one for blondes. It's the best one for blondes.

Young Hollywood

The laws of birthdays. One law that you guys have to have on your birthday that is just sort of like a right of passage.

Guest

Just to tell people that I'm like ten years older than I really am so that they'll think that I look really good for my age.

Young Hollywood

Oh. The reverse. I like it.

Guest

You look really good. I'm 72.

Guest

I like to go to, you know, lunch with all of my different friends and then maybe go to dinner with my husband and then I don't know, maybe have a party or just have people to come and have drinks, you know, or I I'm kind of a birthday dragger outer.

Guest

I make sure I call my mother every day.

Young Hollywood

Wait, isn't she supposed to call you on your birthday?

Guest

No, no, no, no. I call her and I thank her.

Guest

For having me.

Guest

For having me. For letting me have the joy of life.

Young Hollywood

For birth- for birthing you? And we lost that other visual. Cool, now I got a new one. A restaurant that you guys are into.

Guest

I go to one restaurant only. McDonald's.

Young Hollywood

You do the dinner for the breakfast for dinner?

Guest

No, I don't want breakfast. I'm not a breakfast person. I want a McChicken sandwich at all hours of the day.

Guest

Blue Ribbon is fantastic. I took her there for her late dinner.

Guest

Second dinner.

Guest

It was second dinner. It was her favorite night of her life. She was like, we had two dinners tonight. And I'm like, yeah we did.

Young Hollywood

Because this is a cocktail party. What is your favorite cocktail?

Guest

Just a classic old fashioned. I'm a whisky.

Guest

Old fashioned kind of guy, aren't you?

Guest

I'm an old fashioned kind of guy. I like a I like an old fashioned or a Manhattan.

Guest

I like Moscow mules. And I need them in the copper cup. I want the cup.

Guest

What's a Manhattan? Is that a girl drink?

Guest

No, no, Cosmo. Cosmopolitan would be a girl's drink. Uh, well, no, it could it could be a girl's drink though. You know what's a girl's drink? Whiskey on the rocks.

Guest

It's 2016 people. That's not a cock- is that your drink?

Guest

Yeah, that's my drink. Yeah.

Guest

Yeah, lots of girls like whiskey now.

Guest

I will have a Ketel One Martini, dirty, up, freezing, ice chips floating on the top. Please, thank you.

Guest

What? Jesus.

Guest

At least she said please.

Guest

I always say please. I also like vodka soda.

Guest

Vodka soda. It's not a cocktail again.

Guest

Yes it is.

Guest

No, no, no. A cocktail has to have two liquors in it. I used to be a waiter.

Guest

Woah, woah, woah. That's what a cocktail is.

Guest

So a cocktail has to have two different liquors in it. So a Manhattan

Guest

So then a Moscow mule is not a cocktail?

Guest

No.

Guest

I'm a wine girl. Like I love a good glass of Chardonnay and I love a good Housewife of Beverly.

Guest

I am. I wear Victoria's Secret pajama sets. Matching.

Guest

Matching pajama set.

Guest

Long Island iced tea. Is a cocktail?

Guest

Long Island iced tea is like a cocktail. Yeah.

Guest

How many things are in that, like 25?

Guest

25. You take one step and that's there are awkward.

Guest

Whoa, that was good.

Guest

And no iced tea.

Young Hollywood

Music you're into.

Guest

So I snowboard and I have my little music, my iPod is on shuffle. It's this really embarrassing mix of 60s stuff, which is fine, like 70s rock, but there's also like the occasional show tune. There's there's just things that you're like Oh wow. You're like snow sh-shredding and like mame starts getting out of my headphones.

Guest

I love classic music. Like classic rock, Frank Sinatra or

Young Hollywood

Can you croon?

Guest

Uh, not well.

Young Hollywood

Do you croon at home?

Guest

I do, well, yeah, I do. I sing a lot around the house actually.

Guest

I've been listening to The Bahamas a lot lately. They're a Canadian band.

Guest

I love Katy Perry, I love hip hop, I love Drake. You know.

Guest

Why does everybody love Drake so much?

Guest

He's so cute.

Guest

I can't stop listening to Chris Stapleton's album. Every song on that album is so good.

Guest

Probably the Flaming Lips, honestly. I'm going through a little phase of that. with a little Janelle Monáe. Somehow they compliment each other. It's weird.

Young Hollywood

Thank you both so much. This was a lot of fun, thank you.

Guest

Can I make one suggestion? Have you ever drank coffee in the shower?

Young Hollywood

Yeah. I have.

Guest

Come on. It's the best.

Young Hollywood
