Summary

We’re diving headfirst into the chaos, controversy, and cultural impact of America’s Next Top Model with none other than Jay Manuel. From iconic runway meltdowns to the judging panel dynamics we didn’t see on TV, Jay gives his unfiltered take on the show’s most talked-about moments, and what it was like working alongside Tyra Banks at the height of ANTM mania. Was it empowering? Exploitative? Both? Jay breaks down how the show shaped reality TV, the fashion industry, and the mental health conversation we’re still having today. Meanwhile in LadyGang land… Jac adds yet another horrifying reason to her growing list of why we absolutely cannot use hotel coffee makers (you will never travel the same again). Keltie overshares about getting BV because nothing says sisterhood like bacterial vaginosis solidarity. And Becca might be drinking a little too much, but in her defense, life is lifing.

Lady gang, I wanted to say say I am so thankful for all your support of my new book, the FM Theory self-help for people who are done being the

0:45.8

bigger person. It is on sale right now at f-thembook.com. I wanted to explain something about the

0:51.5

publishing world that pre-orders really matter. I literally have

0:55.5

three weeks to get some pre-orders on this book. And that's how the publisher goes out to Target and Walmart

1:01.0

and Barnes & Noble and all your indie booksellers. And they basically say, hey, there's a little heat

1:04.9

on this book. Would you buy 10 for your Barnes & Noble at the Grove? Would you buy 10 for your indie?

1:09.3

It's crazy because the book is published in November, but the orders over the next few weeks really, really matter. If you're planning on supporting me and you're planning on getting the book, if you could do it now sooner than later, I would appreciate it so much. F thembook.com. And I offered all these pre-order bonuses. And one of them is to get into the K-ive collective where I'm literally going to be your personal coach all year long leading up into the book launch for free. Every Wednesday, you're going to get homework for me. It could be social media. It could be money. It could be emotional. And then on Sunday, I'm going to review it and do all of the work and tell you what I think can give you my personalized feedback. And we're going to have

1:44.2

once monthly accountability meetings as well on Zoom so we can all chat. I'm really excited about

1:48.8

this new era. Lady Gang isn't going anywhere, but thank you for your support, FMbook.com.

1:55.2

Well, what is this? Welcome to the Lady Gang. That's amazing. Say that again. The Lady Gang.

Things are about to change around here.
