[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Just happen. Yeah. Girl tag 100.

[Laura Lee]

I love it. Okay, let's see. I'll start with. I'll start with my pit. Yeah, I'll start with. I'll start with the pit. I went and I literally just found this out on my drive over here. But I just got. I went to the dermatologist, got a skin check, and they took out a little mole that was questionable. I have to go back. And they have to take out more because.

[Mandy]

No.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, there's atypical cells in it.

[Mandy]

What does that mean?

[Laura Lee]

No, it just means they're not normals.

[Taylor Lautner]

Don't you.

[Laura Lee]

What is it?

[Taylor Lautner]

Dysplastic moles. Oh, that means atypical moles.

[Mandy]

So they have to take more of the mole.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, yeah. Why?

[Mandy]

They take the whole mole.

[Laura Lee]

They have to like, cut, like.

[Taylor Lautner]

Well, show it.

[Laura Lee]

You see it?

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah, it's like.

[Laura Lee]

It's just still there. But she, like. She like, cut a little bit out and then I just have to. They have to just go and cut more and then probably stitch it up.

[Taylor Lautner]

Do you have to get those checks every six months or every year? Every year. So you have dysplastic moles, which means you have abnormal moles. Atypical moles.

[Laura Lee]

Yes.

[Taylor Lautner]

Which greatens your chances for melanoma. And that's why she's getting her check. So check your moles, people.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

For a living for four years.

[Laura Lee]

I know. I completely forgot about that. Yeah. My dad. I have my dad's skin.

[Taylor Lautner]

Very hereditary, that is.

[Laura Lee]

I have his moles and my mom's whiteness, which really. My dad is tan sparkles everywhere. And my mom is just like white with, like, girl.

[Taylor Lautner]

We see the light skin.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, my gosh. Thank you.

[Taylor Lautner]

I know.

[Mandy]

What a great combo. You're so pretty. It's a great combo. So that's great.

[Laura Lee]

Dude.

[Mandy]

That's crazy, though. I didn't know that that's like was the case. You had to do that every year.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. Well, I have to go. I made Taylor go because he's never been, but he's has like great melanoma or great. What's melanin? Melanin.

[Taylor Lautner]

He does.

[Laura Lee]

No, he's. The doctor was like, incoming every five years for him.

[Taylor Lautner]

Every year.

[Laura Lee]

So.

[Mandy]

Of course.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah. It's crazy how when you have a lot of melanin in your skin, it defends you. It's wild. It's not like a hundred percent chance. You can't get anything, but the chances are way less. It's crazy how that works.

[Laura Lee]

I know.

[Taylor Lautner]

What's your peak? You're like, that was it.

[Laura Lee]

That's it. I mean, this isn't a cop out. I actually mean it. But this. I love you guys. I'm so excited.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah, exactly.

[Mandy]

Please. Sounds like the truth to me.

[Taylor Lautner]

We have a conjoined peeking pit this week together, bro.

[Mandy]

Okay. So conjoined. Okay. Our peak super chills. We actually end up going to a friend's birthday party, and we did an escape room, and. And we haven't done escape room in forever. Do you, like, skate rooms? Have you been.

[Laura Lee]

We.

[Mandy]

We have to do it.

[Taylor Lautner]

Okay.

[Mandy]

We have to do. No, I'm telling you, like, we are escape room, literally. No, we're escape room people. We love it. We almost didn't make it out, which never really, like, we always, like, make it out, like. But this one was, like, actually a really tough room at the end. It was actually really hard, but it was fun. It was actually like a horror escape room kind of, where it was like, the walls were, like, bloody, and it was almost like a padded.

[Taylor Lautner]

Like a psycho psych ward.

[Mandy]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

So it's like a padded thing, and it's like you had to get through three different rooms. It was like a journey, but it was so well done.

[Taylor Lautner]

Have you been to the one in Hollywood? It's so rich. They have a bar in the middle. It was the. All the ones I go to are, like, put together with cardboard boxes. Like, they're like.

[Laura Lee]

No. The last one I went to, I think I feel like it was called the basement or the.

[Taylor Lautner]

I haven't been to that one.

[Laura Lee]

It's almost like in Sylmar, maybe.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

I'm probably butchering both of them. Taylor. Taylor went. Now Taylor, look.

[Mandy]

He likes one too.

[Laura Lee]

Loves.

[Taylor Lautner]

No, we're, like, planning a night.

[Mandy]

Yes. We're gonna do one because we're big, like, escape room people. And it's just fun. Like, I love that activity.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

In general, like, a friend activity is always so fun to me.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

So the fact that we do We've done, like, what, like, literally 20.

[Taylor Lautner]

Well, like, the thing is, we don't go to, like, the club anymore. We like to do, like, dinner and an activity.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

A movie, an escape room. Like, that's, like, what our fun is now. And it's the best thing ever. A game night. We'll do, like.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, we did game night.

[Mandy]

We do game night against.

[Taylor Lautner]

You guys are very. I feel like that's why we all, like. We're all on the same page and we vibe so well together. Yeah, we did that. And then our pitches. People. People just stay talking shit, though.

[Mandy]

It's just so fun. They've been trolling us so fiercely in the DMs recently about, like, what we're wearing.

[Taylor Lautner]

Someone said, I look like a lizard. They're like, girl, you like a lizard. On the last night of Coachella, I said, let me see your outfit, baby. Baby.

[Mandy]

Oh, I was getting this one that was literally, like, the shorts are a no. Everything else is okay, I guess. You guys, let me tell you something. When you. When people send those comments, like, when it's like a fierce one, where it's really like, girl. What? I will always click their profile.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

And nine times. 10 times out of 10, yeah. Hit. I'm absolute disaster. They're not cute. It's literally like, I don't understand why people have this thing, though, where they almost, like, feel like they have to project, like, this negative thing.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

And it's like, almost like. Okay, like, I. I feel bad because I feel like you're going through the gig so fiercely in some capacity, in some way.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

That they have to project, like, negativity onto other people. And I think that's why they're typing it out, because it's like, I hate myself, so I have to.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mandy]

You have to hate yourself, too. You know, And I think that this weird projection. And sometimes I feel bad, but sometimes you'll catch me on the wrong day. That's my problem.

[Taylor Lautner]

Well, my thing is, I'm like, say it in my comments. Stop DMing me, because I don't want to catch the hands of the people who write for me.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

And so you want to be, like, kind of sneaky with your.

[Mandy]

A sneaky dick.

[Taylor Lautner]

You want to do a sneaky dig? I'm like, no, I posted the picture of my feed. Why don't you leave that? Why don't you say I look a lizard then? Because you would have got chewed up. And you want to be like, a little sly dog. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. So anyways, also, I notice I get like, if it's day to day living life, even me, like posting myself, I don't get any rude deals. I don't.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

But if I'm like out having a good time, like showing me laughing and outfits and concerts. Yeah. People are mad. It brings out that, like the weirdness. Yeah, it does.

[Mandy]

It really. There was one that commented. It was just the other day, someone like, comment on me thinking it was like, karma's a bitch, isn't it? Like, they had said something that to me and I was like, something negative happened to me. And they were like, karma's a bitch, huh? And I clicked their profile. Beast. I'm talking literal beast. And I literally was. And I responded to the comment. I was like, looks like karma got you first. I usually don't. But then caught me on the wrong day.

[Taylor Lautner]

They blocked me. Oh, everyone won.

[Mandy]

Everyone honestly blocked me. Honestly. You tried me first.

[Taylor Lautner]

You're going to get your feelings hurt.

[Mandy]

You're going to get your feelings. I was like, honestly. Especially when you catch on the wrong day. I was like, I'm really not the one. I will shred you to filth. But that's not me all the time. It's me more like this. Like when I'm like, happy, go lucky. It's like, you know when you're kind of going through the gigs and you're kind of like, anything can set you off in a way where you're like, yeah. I mean, say it's not the right day. Don't get me.

[Taylor Lautner]

I'm just like, why on God's green earth would you click on my page? And to be like, you know what?

[Mandy]

Like lizard.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

I was like, that's crazy.

[Laura Lee]

I always, I always wonder. I have this one. I. I'm very lucky. And I don't really get that many, like, dms and comments, whatnot. But I have this one lady that always sends me dm. She'll sometimes comment on stuff, but it's always sending me things. And I know I can anticipate when it's coming. Honestly, she's gonna, she's gonna respond to me after doing this because she's like, now that I hang out with influencers, she thinks I'm, I don't know, out.

[Mandy]

Of touch with the reality.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100 and not doing the work that I am doing and I'm getting lost in this world. But she just sounds like the stupidest things. And she sent something the other day that I had it, like, screenshot oh, she was saying, like, it was something about mental health and how, like, I wouldn't have. Like, how do you complain about mental health problems when you have money or something like that? And I was like, girl, we're over this. We are literally over this, baby.

[Taylor Lautner]

Like, the crazy thing is you're still human and you still have feelings and life is still happening.

[Mandy]

Maybe anxiety, depression, mental health. That hits. Doesn't matter what it does bracket you're in.

[Taylor Lautner]

Certainly so true.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

Like, that don't matter. It's gonna get you regardless. So that means nothing.

[Taylor Lautner]

It will, but it's like, if. Also, I always say, like. I'm not trying to say all these people are jealous. I'm not trying to say that. But what I'm trying to say is, like, every human on earth has the emotion of jealousy. It's part of being a human being. But what you're supposed to do with that is not act on it. You're supposed to follow it. You have to go, oh, I felt a little tingle of jealousy when I saw that. Why? Oh, is that something I want for myself? Good, Let me follow that. Let me investigate that. Not, you know, hate on the person because you're jealous was to use your jealousy as a power because we all have it.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Not attack people.

[Mandy]

Yeah. There's another way of looking at jealousy in, like, a way that you're gonna.

[Taylor Lautner]

Experience jealousy or human. Who hasn't. Who hasn't? Anyways, that Whitey's jealous of you. Just want you to know that she's obsessed.

[Mandy]

Do you guys ever catch someone that's in your DMs? This is random tangent that will send you messages all the time, but you never had caught. You never caught it, but you caught, like, one randomly because you're looking your dms and it was a hate thing. You're like, huh? And they've been damning you, like, hate forever. No idea.

[Taylor Lautner]

But I'm gonna post on my story. I'm Give her, like, five more.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

And I'm gonna tag her. And Blaster, she's gonna change her username.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

But it's cr. It's crazy. I'm like, oh, my God, you've been following me for, like, years, and you've been actually shredding me for this whole time.

[Taylor Lautner]

I just see it maybe like, once a month. She shreds me. So I have, like. It's just like. So I was like, I'm gonna give you, like, three more, and then I'm posting. We'll do a screen recording. Of your behavior.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, I have some screenshotted from the girl and she's unsent stuff before.

[Mandy]

No.

[Taylor Lautner]

So I better screenshot now.

[Mandy]

Good idea.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

She's listening to this right now. I hate watching.

[Taylor Lautner]

I hate watching right now.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Hi, baby.

[Mandy]

All those things literally.

[Taylor Lautner]

But honestly, to be so for real, we get like. Like, also I think to myself sometimes, like, people write me a paragraph about how great they think I am or how great. And sometimes I'm like, this person just took this chunk out of their day to type out a paragraph to be nice to me, and they don't even know me. Like, what kind of saint are you?

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mandy]

It goes both ways.

[Taylor Lautner]

It goes both ways now. The hate's always more jarring, and it's gonna be. It's just like we're human. It's human nature. But we have to admit, like, the love is very real.

[Mandy]

I mean, I'm gonna say it's like 98 love.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mandy]

It's the 2% that you're kind of like, yeah. Don't get me.

[Taylor Lautner]

Don't get me, girl.

[Mandy]

Don't get me going, please.

[Taylor Lautner]

I'm reformed also. No one hates on you that's doing better than you, so I'm just gonna say that.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, my God, it's true.

[Taylor Lautner]

I've never seen one with the most sickening coachell outfits. That shit's on mine. I've never seen it.

[Mandy]

Okay, honestly, you really just. Both facts on that one.

[Taylor Lautner]

Oh, no. What are we gonna do?

[Mandy]

I mean, what are you gonna do?

[Taylor Lautner]

You know, I only tell the truth is being spilled.

[Mandy]

Well, ain't never lied. You can never lie, y'all.

[Taylor Lautner]

Okay, Tay Tay, we have questions for you. I know the answer to a lot of these, but I actually don't know.

[Mandy]

[Taylor Lautner]

Wait, how long have you guys been married?

[Laura Lee]

[Taylor Lautner]

How long have you been together?

[Laura Lee]

Been together for seven.

[Mandy]

Wow.

[Taylor Lautner]

Years.

[Laura Lee]

Mary. We got married at 22, so three.

[Taylor Lautner]

Oh, my God, you got one on three.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

22 or 25.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Like, it'll be three years this year.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mandy]

And it's together for seven. That's 100 gay.

[Taylor Lautner]

That's 100 gay years.

[Mandy]

Literally, that's like 50 years.

[Taylor Lautner]

They were both gay together. It would have been together 100 years.

[Laura Lee]

Wow. It's meant to be. Yeah. But his sister introduced us, so it's kind of this, like, weird, like, fate thing. So he's originally from Michigan. When he moved out to LA when he was, like, 12 to act, they moved to the same town that I'm from. And so we grew up. We're five years apart, so we never, like, would have been in school at the same time. He also dropped out of high school. He got his ged. I didn't always have to clarify that because he's like, babe, I still graduated high school.

[Mandy]

And I said, he's like, you're shredding me over.

[Laura Lee]

I know.

[Taylor Lautner]

Literally.

[Laura Lee]

But he. Well, he had. He had to, because he. They. He filmed the first Twilight movie when he was a freshman, and they came out when he was a sophomore, and it was like, he couldn't be. He was in public schools.

[Mandy]

Right.

[Laura Lee]

So he had to drop out. But anyways, his sister is a year younger than me. We went to, like, rival high schools. We knew who the other was. Like, we followed each other on Instagram, but that was kind of it. And then one of my best friends ended up going to college with her. They were roommates. And then I met her when I went to go visit my friend. And they came home like, four or five months after that. My girlfriend had a game night with or, like, a girls night with a bunch of girls. And his sister was there. And apparently after that, she called Taylor and was like, hey, I just met this girl. You need to, like, throw a game night so I can invite her as, like, one of my friends so you can meet her. I didn't know of the setup, so it was just like, she had told him. But, yeah, I went to the game night. I was like, I was fresh out of a relationship, so I wasn't like, I was going over there for games. Like, you guys know I love games. I'm going over with, like, four girlfriends to go, like, play games. Like, actual games, not relationship games.

[Mandy]

Play games. Mental ones.

[Laura Lee]

But yeah. And we just kind of, like, hung out in group settings a few times, and then that was kind of hit off. Yeah. Then we dated for two weeks, and then he went off to London to film a show for, like, two and a half months.

[Taylor Lautner]

Oh, really?

[Mandy]

So then was it, like, did he. Was he like, I want to take you on a date?

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, we kind of. He was like. I always say he was, like, courting me like, I'd never been. He. He says he was flirting with me, and he's like, when you tell the story. You make it sound like I don't have game. But honestly, he's like, he was just so nice.

[Mandy]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

And like so respectful and like genuinely was like asking me questions and like, wasn't just like, hey, met me and was like wanting to hook up with me. Like, I never met a guy that was like respectful and like really just wanting to like, get to know me on a like, personal.

[Mandy]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

Deeper level. And so I didn't think that there was anything there. And I remember he had. This was like Christmas time of 2017 and I remember he had followed me on Instagram and I was in Arizona with my parents visiting family and my dad was like, oh my gosh, he likes you. I was like, dad, he followed me on Instagram. He doesn't like me. Mind you, my dad has like never done this before.

[Taylor Lautner]

He's never cut to your husband, literally.

[Laura Lee]

And my dad was like, no, he likes you. And I was like, what are you saying? He did like me. My dad was right. I don't know how he knew, but. But yeah, we just kind of like hung out in groups for like four or five times. We ended up kissing on New Year's and then that's. And then we just like, oh my.

[Mandy]

God, I love that.

[Laura Lee]

I know. Yeah, we just like hung out like almost every day for like two weeks with incredible.

[Mandy]

Got it. Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

And I got to meet. So I got to meet his parents before like we were speed dating. Cuz I'd gone over to their house for like a game night.

[Mandy]

And you knew the sister too, so.

[Laura Lee]

You already had like I got to meet. I got to meet the parents without having to like meet the parents. And then he came over and met the parents. But my parents are great, so.

[Mandy]

Yeah, I love the like, very sweet. There's no pressure of like meeting the parents thing too. And like a way. Yeah, like, that's cool. I love.

[Laura Lee]

I was Team Edward 100, you guys.

[Mandy]

I was too, I was too together. I love you so much. But like I was too.

[Laura Lee]

Oh my gosh. That's so funny. Yeah, no, I, yeah, but you were.

[Mandy]

Also a fan of like the, the movies. You were in it.

[Laura Lee]

Oh yeah, I was like, I read the whole books series.

[Taylor Lautner]

Oh yeah.

[Laura Lee]

I would, I would go to the midnight premieres, but at the movie theater where I'm from, they would show like the movie before. So like when New Moon came out, they would show like Twilight before and then it would be the premiere of New Moon. And it, they did it for like every movie that came out. So every time like by the last movie I was there like all day. Cuz they just showed all the movies.

[Mandy]

Six movies back to back.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. So no, I, I, I saw this.

[Taylor Lautner]

Really sweet clip of you talking about how he has this little mark and you see it when he's acting and it just kind of brings you back to like that's him, you know, because he's a character in it and yeah, he's so young, you know, you're watching it so you may not like identify him as your husband and like the little guy you love and know, but then it's like when you see that little mark, it like brings you back to like.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, because like when I, you know, when the Twilight franchise was happening, obviously I didn't know him. So like before when we started dating, I had watched them back and I was, it like wasn't really the same person because he was so young too. So he was 16, 17, 18 while they filmed those.

[Taylor Lautner]

And you're a different person and ages we are now than when you are, when you're, you know, that young too.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. So it was sweet. We recently like watched the franchise back. We've been like trying to do.

[Taylor Lautner]

Is that weird for him or is he's like whatever.

[Laura Lee]

He, he actually enjoyed it. He was nervous because he had tried watching one of the movies randomly like a few years ago and it was like still like too fresh in a way. It was like a little cringe for him. Like he wasn't like fully able to like enjoy it, but like watching the franchise, he really, he enjoyed it and loved it. He was like really able to like appreciate it. And it was sweet because that was the first time I really felt like it was like watching it. I was like, oh my gosh, like that's how cool I get to like look at, be able to see you like at this age of 17, like you know, you can watch an old video of me from, like, an iPhone, like.

[Mandy]

Right.

[Laura Lee]

You know, but, like, I fully get to, like, see. I don't know, it was just this like, really cool moment I had when we were. Were watching it. I was like, this is crazy. Like, this is you, like, as a kid, and I get to, like, see.

[Mandy]

It at school and at 17.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

Doing that at 17.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

Bro, that is so wild. Like, like your whole world gets flipped upside down in the matter of, like, one movie.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Did you have any celebrity crushes before you met Taylor?

[Laura Lee]

That's a good question.

[Mandy]

Like, was that like a. Yeah, it was like a thing for you? Like, were you like, that kind of girly?

[Laura Lee]

Kind of. I don't know.

[Taylor Lautner]

I've always been like, Edward.

[Laura Lee]

Wait, do you actually want to know a funny story about that?

[Mandy]

So.

[Laura Lee]

So when. So when Taylor and I first started dating, he went to London to film for two months. I ended up going out there to see him.

[Taylor Lautner]

Oh.

[Laura Lee]

And when I landed there, it's my first time ever flying by myself. First time ever flying first class. It was like, literally like Lux. It was insane.

[Mandy]

It was insane.

[Laura Lee]

But I stand up in this plane and as we're like, about to deboard and across the plane, like, I'm on, like, one side of the plane, and on the other side, Robert Pattinson stands up. And I was like, you're. I was like, what are the actual odds that he's on this flight?

[Taylor Lautner]

Please tell me you said hi.

[Laura Lee]

Well, no, I didn't.

[Mandy]

Well, also, I would have died. I couldn't.

[Laura Lee]

I would have.

[Taylor Lautner]

Crazy.

[Laura Lee]

I would have. Maybe Taylor was like, you should have said something. I'm like, what am I gonna say? Hi, I'm. I'm going to see your old co star.

[Mandy]

I know.

[Taylor Lautner]

That's why. So weird.

[Laura Lee]

Like, I just, like, would not have. But no, I mean, I don't. I don't really know if. I mean, I love Justin Bieber growing up. So, like, that was probably mine. I would say Ben Affleck for some reason, because I love him as Batman.

[Mandy]

Isn't he gorge?

[Taylor Lautner]

Have you seen his back tattoo?

[Laura Lee]

Yes.

[Taylor Lautner]

Shit's crazy.

[Mandy]

That kind of like, takes me out of it.

[Taylor Lautner]

It may be the back tattoo.

[Laura Lee]

It is a. It is a photo of a group chat of mine.

[Taylor Lautner]

I saw it and I thought it was like, there's no world. I'm gonna put it on the screen here. I was like, there's no world where that back tattoos.

[Mandy]

Right.

[Taylor Lautner]

It's real.

[Laura Lee]

Ow.

[Mandy]

Imagine me with that, taking back shots with that on.

[Taylor Lautner]

That's crazy wild.

[Mandy]

I see. I love that story about Rob Patterson. I'm literally upset. That's really cool that he was there. And you're like, I'm not gonna say hi, though.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

So have you met Robert Pattinson, surely?

[Laura Lee]

No. No, no, no. I mean, no. I bet Kristen. Kristen's lovely. I love that. Yeah. Her and Taylor are still friends and. Oh, she's so sweet.

[Mandy]

Literally obsessed with the fact that they're still friends. Like, and that's, like, been, like, good.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. I threw. I threw Taylor a surprise party after we'd been, like, together for a year, and I invited her to come, and Taylor was like, oh, my gosh. Like, how did you, like, get her here? Like, that was so. He was like, like, really appreciative.

[Taylor Lautner]

That's incredible.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, she's really sweet.

[Taylor Lautner]

I love every so often.

[Laura Lee]

I mean, she's so busy. She's literally, like, everywhere. But.

[Mandy]

Oh, she's like a working girl.

[Taylor Lautner]

Taylor's got a new project coming up too. He's about to be back in, honey. Very busy.

[Mandy]

We should have, like, a watch party at your house.

[Taylor Lautner]

Oh, my gosh.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

That would be so fun.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, wow. I hadn't even, like, gotten that far in my mind yet. Yeah. Wait, you're like.

[Mandy]

Wait, you're like, that's.

[Taylor Lautner]

We should celebrate writing that down.

[Mandy]

We're writing that down.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Watch party.

[Laura Lee]

We got a little bit of time before. Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Okay, enough about that. I want to talk about the Squeeze a little bit.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

So the Squeeze is hers and Taylor's podcast they do together. It's a mental health podcast. They do a lot on it, but it's incredible podcast. What inspired you guys to create this incredible mental health podcast?

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. So a little backstory on me. I'm actually a registered nurse, went to nursing school. I graduated nursing school in the end of 2019, got my license. Beginning of 2020, worked a little bit.

[Taylor Lautner]

What a great year to become an RN in 2020.

[Laura Lee]

Yep. So I. I never wanted to work in the hospital because I was like, with Taylor's job, like, I'll just do outpatient surgery centers like I love, or, like, go do some plastic surgery here and there. Like, just very easy. Like one, like one day a week in one office, another day in another office, holidays off, weekends off. Fun, easy. Great. Love that. But then covet happened. So then all those closed down and I was like, okay, well, I don't sit well, and I just got this degree and I really want to use it. So I was like, I'm Gonna apply to this one hospital if I get in. Because the nice thing about going to school out here was I got to basically try out all the hospitals during my clinicals, like, during school, bounce around. Yeah. So I got to actually see behind the scenes, like, the nursing, the staff, like, just how everything was. And I was like, I'm gonna apply to this one trauma center if I get in. Great. They only take, like, 10 people for their new grad program, so if I get in, I'll go. If not, I'll just wait this thing out. I ended up getting the job. I worked on a telemetry floor, which is basically just a cardiac unit. Everyone on the unit has heart monitors on. They're not in critical condition where they have to be an icu, but they're. They need to be monitored a little closer. So our unit was normal for a couple months, and then we turned Covid. Probably in, like, November. Flu season. November. December. And then we were that for a couple months, probably through February, March. Ish. So I was a coven nurse throughout that time. It was wild.

[Mandy]

Oh, I know.

[Taylor Lautner]

You saw and experienced everything.

[Mandy]

I've seen so many videos like. Like, I was, like, on that side of tech talk to where I was like, nurses talking about, like, this. Like, this is the worst thing ever. Like, just experience or, like, talking about it and, like, crying and just, like, going through the gigs. Man, this is so much harder than you guys ever even think of. Like.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm thankful that I didn't work, like, when it first broke out, because there wasn't enough, like, protection, like, the ppe, like, that was what was scary. But when I was working, it was. We were. We were out of ratio, which means I normally would have four patients. I had five. And, like, it was just. I would. I would, like. And I was working night shifts, too, when I started.

[Taylor Lautner]

Oh, brutal.

[Laura Lee]

So I was just, like, completely out of it. But that was the first time. After that, I ended up being diagnosed with severe depression, PTSD, and anxiety. And that was the first time I really struggled with my mental health. I've been around mental health a lot. There's a lot of people in my family that have struggled with addiction. I lost a really good friend. He had bipolar disorder and ended up taking his life during a manic episode. So I have, like, a lot of mental health that's kind of surrounded.

[Mandy]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

But never personally. So I ended up leaving the hospital in 2021. I actually ended up getting Covid, not from working, but from visiting Taylor on set.

[Mandy]

No.

[Laura Lee]

Which is hysterical.

[Mandy]

Insane.

[Laura Lee]

Because they're like, so it was a Netflix film and they're so strict.

[Mandy]

They are really intense about that stuff.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, I was like, of all places, I've literally worked in the hospital how long? And I've never gotten it, but so I ended up getting sick and I had long Covid and I was, I was sick for like two months. It was really bad. I had to go on disability. Like, it was. It was insane. But I honestly think that was God being like, you need to like, slow down. Yeah. Like, I would never quit. I would go to part time. Like, I knew I needed to leave because I knew, like, I wasn't feeling right. And Taylor had noticed and he had been like, hey, are you okay? And I was like, yeah, I'm just like tired from a night shift. He's like, no, but actually like, are you okay? That was really the first time. I was like, oh, shoot, something's going on.

[Mandy]

Like, I'm not.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, yeah, I'm not. Well, then I get sick and I'm like, okay, I actually need to address what's going on. And that gave me, I feel like the strength to quit because I would not have on my own. But after that I was like, I want to be able to use my platform and, you know, share my experience. Because it's not just healthcare workers that are going through this. Everyone was going through their mental health stuff. And so I started like a little blog called Lemons by Tay. And then that kind of morphed into a non profit that specializes in mental health. And then I think in like 20. When did we come out? What year is it? 2520. So probably in like, yeah, I guess in 2022, I just kind of like woke up. I have this thing, I think I like dream work in my sleep. So I wake up, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna do this. And then that's how the non profit started. I never had plans to start a non profit. Had no clue what to do. Ended up doing that. Never listen to podcasts. I woke up one day and I was like, hey, hon. Like, I'm gonna start a mental health podcast. He's like, okay, great. And I was like, okay, you're gonna do it with me though.

[Mandy]

Yeah, but we're gonna do it. Yeah, you're gonna do it, but we're gonna do it.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. So his slogan is like, full time husband, part time co host. That's kind of like his little thing. But he's just. He's also like, truly one of the wisest People I know. And I'm just saying that because I'm married to him. Like, he has so much wisdom, but he never shares it. He never wants to, like, share his opinion. So I was like, you need to do this with me because I feel like you'll be really good, but it's been really special to, like, get to do it together. And. Yeah, that was the long answer.

[Mandy]

We were going to ask you, like, what it's like working with your spouse. Is it like a fun. Is it like. Yeah, fun. Is it hard? Is it tough? Like, do you guys have times when you're like, girl, I'm gonna battle you right now?

[Laura Lee]

Like, I mean, yeah, we definitely. We definitely will. We don't ever, like, butt heads because we genuine, like, generally have the same ideas. But I mean, yeah, obviously when you're working with, like, your spouse and you're, like, comfy with the person, me and.

[Taylor Lautner]

Ty be battling it out and then we're like, on our way. Yeah. And then it's like, okay, anyways. Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

But I mean, for the most part, it's great. I mean, Taylor, he's we. Our joke is that he's the talent. Like, he'll like, come in, like, I'll do the prep.

[Mandy]

Well, he appears.

[Laura Lee]

He's like, yeah, he's like, I'm ready. I'm ready for my close up. No, but he'll. No, he. But he. He's so creative with, like, teasers and how things are edited. Like, he's so good at that.

[Taylor Lautner]

But you pin it all together.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, I'll do a lot of the prep and like all of that stuff. And I'm like, hey, this is, you know, this is our info on the guest. Like, that's kind of coordinate how we're going to. I mean, like, you guys do.

[Taylor Lautner]

Let's corny.

[Laura Lee]

Who's going to say what, like, how we want the interview to flow and Yeah, I mean, he. He's lived like so much life.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

So it's. I value his opinion and his input so much with everything. So I love that.

[Mandy]

I mean, it's like he grew up really fast, really young, too.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

I think that adds a lot of.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

His wisdom.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

I'm like, hey, technically, technically both of you have been on it.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

Oh my God, you're right.

[Laura Lee]

You're right.

[Taylor Lautner]

Okay.

[Mandy]

You're so right.

[Taylor Lautner]

I want to talk about that for one second. They did this on. She had a Galentine. She had a lot of really amazing women and Manny come over everybody, and she had this genius idea where we'd all come in and pockets and, like, do a little segment. So me, Manny, and Jacqueline, we're at the end of the episode because we're at a 25 out of 10, I feel. But it is just like, the funniest episode.

[Mandy]

Watching the other girlies, I'm like, oh.

[Taylor Lautner]

We'Re really like, what's your favorite cookie? We're like, they're all sweet.

[Mandy]

What's your biggest egg?

[Taylor Lautner]

Like, that's literally, what pills are you taking should you get a divorce? But if you guys didn't know, I am gonna plug my episode.

[Laura Lee]

Episodes.

[Taylor Lautner]

Oh, we did two parter. I want you to know that everywhere I go, people come up to me all the time and they go, I loved your episode on the Squeeze. Or they'll say something like this to me. I loved your podcast episode. I'm like, oh, my God.

[Laura Lee]

Thank you so much.

[Taylor Lautner]

Full coverage. They're like, no, the Squeeze. I was like, oh. Oh, my gosh. I was at dinner the other night, and it was like, open window to the street, like on Ventura. And a woman's walking down the street, and it's like, the Squeeze. She goes, I'm a therapist, and I know that was healing for you. Isn't it crazy? Oh, my God.

[Mandy]

Through the window.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yes.

[Mandy]

She was like this.

[Taylor Lautner]

Huh? Through the window. No, the window was open. This. Oh, my gosh.

[Laura Lee]

Wait, that's so special.

[Taylor Lautner]

Checking out the girl Squeeze episode changed my life. Like, oh, my gosh. All the time. So, guys, check it out. I cried for two and a half hours on their podcast. It was.

[Laura Lee]

It honestly was such a good episode. And I, I, I remember, like, we had gone through maybe, like, one of the three topics that I wanted to go through, and we had already been talking for, like, 40 minutes. And I never know with Taylor, like, when it's been a while, sometimes he gets antsy. And so I was like, I'm not feeling the antsiness, so I think he's enjoying it. We wrap up. It's great. It's been like an hour and a half. Lovely. Love it. You walk out the door, he goes, we got a two parter. I was like, oh, my gosh. Thank God. I was like, I was loving it. I hope he was loving it just as much. But no, it was. And it was cool too, because, like, obviously I'd known, like, A little bit about you. Just, like, from Jacqueline. And it was cool for Taylor because he really, like, didn't know, like, much about your history or anything. Yeah, but the people coming up, like, that's. That's my biggest motivation of keeping the podcast. Like, I always tell Taylor, I'm like, I can't ever stop this podcast because the people that come up to me and they're like, I. Like, I've had people come up to me and tell me they were contemplating taking their life and they listened to a specific episode and like, how could you not. Like, I have chills saying it and it's just like. Like, it's unreal. That's something I was like, I don't. I still don't even know what I'm doing. I just click record and. Absolutely. I don't know. I don't know anything about podcasts. Don't ask me how to get it in the algorithm. Don't ask me how to, like, you know, have it be seen more. But it's. It's just been really cool.

[Taylor Lautner]

So real, your podcast and me telling your. My story on your podcast, it's really cool because you guys are people that handle. Are very mature, very wise, and can. And handle very mature, deep, heavy conversations very well. And like, you can't just go on any podcast and tell that story, you know, and you guys have created such a safe place and it's really changing multiple people's lives.

[Mandy]

100. Yeah, it really makes a big difference. And I think it really is about, like, you know, you guys as hosts, like, really just holding a lot of space for people when they come in and, like, really taking care of them and like, making sure that they feel seen and heard and not judged for literally anything.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, it's been.

[Mandy]

That's a skill and that's a gift because that's not. Not everyone's like that.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, that was a. That was something I didn't know that Taylor and I had, but we've heard it so much from guests. We're like, wow, like, this is really cool. And I'm like, yeah, I guess, like, it's. I feel like we're really good at taking a really heavy topic and still somehow keeping it light hearted. Like, we could still laugh with it or like, it's still like digestive that's also very calm.

[Taylor Lautner]

There's like this energy that's like super calm.

[Mandy]

Like, there's that. I think that if you have like, someone that say that's like a manic person doing it, you're Gonna get like really intense reactions and you're like, oh, my God, that's gonna be crazy.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

But then when you're having a calm reaction and you can still giggle about it and be like, chill and light hearted.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

It's completely different. It's a completely different atmosphere.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

And there's like a calmingness when, you know, you're around.

[Taylor Lautner]

It's a special niche you guys have going. And I think that's so incredible because, you know, there's a lot of people listening, listening. And to be able to hear these stories you guys recently had on Gabby Petito's mom, which is just like the biggest case, craziest story. How was that?

[Laura Lee]

It was kind of unreal because, you know, I remember when the story broke out and at first she was missing. It was before we had known that she was murdered. She was just missing. And I remember seeing it on Tick Tock and just the story just spread like wildfire. So, yep, it was really cool to get to talk with her. And she, she's such a strong woman and she's healed. Like, you can tell she's in like, I mean, obviously you'll never heal if your, you know, child has died, but.

[Mandy]

Right.

[Laura Lee]

It was just really cool to hear, like, talk about this stuff. And it was, it was really special. That's something that I'm really thankful for with this podcast is getting to have like, real, like, people on, like, people that don't have platforms. Like we've. We did one last year with Stacy Chickman, who's the mom of one of the Idaho murder victims. And it's really cool, like getting to have like those, those are the conversations I never thought I would be able to have.

[Mandy]

Totally.

[Laura Lee]

And it's really special. And the response has been just so amazing from it. And what I think is really cool about Gabby's story is oftentimes when you know these true kind. I'm a sucker for true crime, love documentary.

[Taylor Lautner]

I love a true crime story. I'm deep all that stuff.

[Laura Lee]

And most of the time we don't know the victims. We only know the murderers, perpetrators, whatever. Like Ted Bundy. I don't know a single one of his victims.

[Taylor Lautner]

Like, we just sad about him.

[Laura Lee]

Yes. And what I think is really cool about Gabby's story is it's Gabby's and it's about her. And I think it just is a testament to her light in this energy that I felt just talking with her mom. And it was really special to be able like, to say that throughout this whole time, like Gabby has been, you know, the spotlight. She has been the person, like she's the victim that has been spotlighted throughout all of this. So I think it's really special.

[Taylor Lautner]

But she really is like, I was watching Majority, I think I have a little bit left. But on the Netflix documentary, like, I do feel like it talks about her a lot shows because she filmed herself a little. So it's interesting. It's such an interesting thing because it's an actual influencer. Not that they mean more than regular people, but there's so much content.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

On like, who.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. She vlogged all of her travels.

[Taylor Lautner]

Like. Like know her.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

And see her and get to know her personality. You know what I mean? Whereas.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Most people don't have, you know, like a whole Rolodex of footage of themselves.

[Laura Lee]

For sure. Yeah. And she, when she was on Nicole, she dropped some new information that she found out too about the case, which.

[Taylor Lautner]

Was this episode is coming out. It will be out by the time this air. So we're excited to tune in.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. It's on YouTube.

[Mandy]

So wild.

[Taylor Lautner]

Be linking.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. So. So, yeah, that's what. We have another like true crime one coming out.

[Taylor Lautner]

Oh, do. Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

Soon. Soon it is. There is a documentary out on the.

[Taylor Lautner]

On the next person. On the next person or situation.

[Laura Lee]

Vlogging is the word that I'm. The clue that I'm giving.

[Taylor Lautner]

She's gonna get. You guys get excited.

[Laura Lee]

Vlogging is.

[Taylor Lautner]

There's more.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

It's interesting because you have a mental health podcast and it's just. It makes so much sense to have on people who have experienced one of the worst traumas you can experience the loss of a child or, you know, a true crime. A crime, A murder or something like that. So it makes so much sense. But they're coming to the right place because again, it's very healing. It's a really great podcast.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

Is there anything like that? Like, like, has there ever been like something that you've been given, like advice wise or like a mental health advice that's been given to you that you're like, I'm gonna take this rest of my life.

[Taylor Lautner]

That like the best piece of, like.

[Mandy]

Best piece of advice. Have you ever gotten that where it was like, it kind of stuck with you, where it was like, this is something I'm gonna like, keep with me.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. I feel like I have a lot of things because every time we have a guest on, I'm like, oh, there's a nugget. Like, it's really cool. I Feel like Taylor and I have got to gotten to learn a lot about ourselves and each other because we'll have a guest on and, like, they'll leave and I'll be like, oh, my gosh, babe, that's exactly what you do. Or I'm like, oh, my. I relate to this person so much, and it just gives. Like, I love talking with people and I love, like, personal, like, deep conversation. Like, I. I don't, you know, I can do a surface level chat, whatever, but, like, I love having meaningful conversations. And that, at the end of the day, is what the podcast is like. Sometimes you have guests on, they don't have much mental health, but it's a meaningful conversation, and that's what I love. But something that has stuck with me. One of our earliest guests was, she had this analogy, and she was like, you know, if you break your leg, you go to the doctor, you, you know, get it fixed, you get some screws in it, you wear a cast, you go to physical therapy, you take your pain meds, whatever it is, and you treat it to heal it. And that's how we need to be treating our brains. Like, hey, if something's a little off in there, it doesn't mean, like, it doesn't mean I'm completely broken and I can't be fixed. You got to treat it the same way. Go to therapy, take your meds, Go, like, put in the work, do the self care. Do the things you need to do. Because we need to give. Be giving our brain, like, our brain and our heart, the most important organs in our body, because we can't see it.

[Taylor Lautner]

So we don't acknowledge it, but the broken leg is there. But our brain hurts. Yeah, our, you know, we hurt. We're depressed. Like, we still hurt.

[Mandy]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

It seems like we can't see it, so it gets neglected.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

But it's like the most important thing because it's running the whole ship.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

It's like, if the engine's hurting or the engine needs healing, the whole car's going down.

[Laura Lee]

The whole car.

[Taylor Lautner]

It's not. The whole car's going down. So that's a really good one.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, that's one that's just like, has always stuck with me. And I feel like it really put it into perspective for me, even though at the time I was already focusing on mental health. Like, it's just such a good reminder that, you know, our brain tells us what to do. And, like, it truly, in my opinion, is like, obviously you need your heart, but it's the most Important thing, it is so really giving it that attention that it needs and knowing that it's so cliche. The two, like, most cliche mental health things are, like, it's okay to not be okay and, like, it's okay to ask for help. Like, those are, I feel, like, the most overused.

[Mandy]

Right.

[Laura Lee]

Little terms in mental health, but they're actually so true and so important and.

[Mandy]

Profound in a way.

[Laura Lee]

And it's something that I feel like I've learned, like, asking for help. Like, I remember I was before I got diagnosed with ptsd, I was dissociating really bad, where I just. Like, I was never present, but also, I couldn't remember things that I knew. Like, I would literally forget one of your names. Like, and it was getting scary for me where I was like, I. Like, I know. I know his name, but I can't. Like, I can't remember what it is, but I know that I know. Like, I forgot, like, random. I mean, this. It may sound silly, but, like, the chain smokers, like, I. Like, I. I could see that. Like, I could. I knew who they were, but I couldn't think of the name. Multiple restaurants by us. I couldn't think of, like, people's names. I was forgetting, and I knew that they were there, but something was off. And I went and was officially diagnosed with ptsd. And it honestly made me feel better, and I was like, okay.

[Mandy]

I know there's a reason behind something.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. And oftentimes we're like, oh, we actually, like, don't want to know what's going on. But it's. It's really not that scary because then you know the steps that you have to take to heal.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

And it's. I feel like that's really helpful.

[Mandy]

One of the biggest, hardest part is literally, like, going and finding out if you really do need help, because people, like, don't want to need it, if that makes sense. Like, they don't want to be, like, diagnosed with something.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

Like, let's say, like. Like, for example, me, Like, I feel like I've been adhd. I've been adhd, like, probably my whole life. And that's why I struggle with times with, like, sleep or with, like, trying to keep track on one task. And I'm, like, struggling with that. And it's funny because, like, I feel like I know I have it, but I never got diagnosed for it because I'm like, I don't want another thing.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

You know, in a way, but it's like, I know it's really. If I did. It would not have been the biggest deal because I've already struggled with so many other, like, random things in my life.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

I'm like, I know it'll just be another thing that you have to deal with, but sometimes it feels like, oh, my God. I'm just like, yeah, there's something wrong with me, but it's like, it's not. Like, it's not at the end of the day. So you're saying with the, like, analogy, it's like, if you know something's wrong, like, you want to get that fixed.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

But it's not like, it's hard for people.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. And also, like, your mental health, like, diagnosis doesn't define you, like, totally. It's literally just, like, a part of you. Like, I'm a wife, I'm a dog mom, I'm a podcast host. I have ptsd. Like, it's just one of the. The things that is a part of you. It is not the defining branch of the tree. Yeah. It's not the defining factor. And I feel like once you understand that, then it's, like, a lot more approachable.

[Mandy]

I want to talk about our little Dear Media panel that we have coming up the plug. Me and Tay Tay. They're. They're what? It's like a conference, if you will.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, it's like a fun little. It's a wellness event. Dear Media, which is the network that I'M with. They're doing a fun little wellness event day. There's going to be panels. There's like this really cool breathing meditation thing before which I just learned about, which I'm really excited and I kind of want to do. We're the first panel. Love that first panel.

[Taylor Lautner]

But I'm gonna be on the panel with Taylor. So if you guys want to join us. If you're in LA and you want to join, I'll have the day and where you can get tickets in the description box so you guys can check it out. But I'm super excited.

[Mandy]

It's really cool.

[Taylor Lautner]

Do you meditate ever?

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Do you?

[Laura Lee]

I feel like when people. It doesn't. Meditating could literally be just focusing on a thing.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah. So there's like a lot of misconceptions I think with me.

[Mandy]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

They think about like for sure that you have to like sit like this and like say the only thing. Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Which that is a form of meditation. There's a lot of forms of meditation. Like meditation can be just like focusing on maybe a certain thing or just like one thing and not letting your brain just run rampant. It's like controlling your thoughts.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

For me, meditation, whenever I meditate and I'll do it in small spurs because I have a horrible time focusing. But the more you do it, the better you get at it. Right. You have to exercise that meditation muscle.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

But I find answers, my answers there. Whenever I quiet down all that noise and just like listen to my breath, listen to my heartbeat, whether it's after a workout, whatever, whenever I'm doing it, it's so interesting. The answers for change are little things in my life. I don't know what to do. It'll pop up and the answer will be right there. Whenever I finally just shut the noise off for a second. The answers are all up here. We just can't get them out. And that's what I think is so special about meditation.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. So yeah, I feel like I meditate the most when I'm in the car. Like I literally want to have music on and I'll just like be focused on driving and I'll just like let my thoughts honestly like go by. Like the cars are. I'm just like letting them go.

[Taylor Lautner]

And meditation too. Like if a thought comes in that's intrusive or not supposed to be there, you can just let it go and then go back into focusing on whatever you were focusing on. But I think meditation is super life changing form of mental health.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Our brains, they just they're wired. They want to go 247 and they want to tell us every thought they could possibly. Possibly happen all the time. And like, whenever you grasp that power of your mind to be able to turn her off or just a little bit.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

You know, and think. I think it's like completely life changing. You find a lot of answers then.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah. Especially when, like, we're constantly filled with social media. We're constantly scrolling, constantly have all of these things in our heads. I'm sure majority of us are drinking some form of an energy drink or something that has caffeine. I do, too.

[Mandy]

It's fine.

[Laura Lee]

I'm not saying. I'm not saying you shouldn't.

[Taylor Lautner]

I love what you do.

[Mandy]

But it's true. Yeah, absolutely.

[Laura Lee]

But, like, like, there's. There's just so many stimulants for our brain and it's so important to just like have that moment of stillness and be like, okay, let's just check in. Like, having that is just. It's. It's nice.

[Taylor Lautner]

I love that.

[Mandy]

Yeah, I love that.

[Taylor Lautner]

Manny, you meditate. We're going to get you meditate.

[Laura Lee]

We're going to get you meditating, girl.

[Taylor Lautner]

We're going to get you meditating, girl.

[Mandy]

I was like, I don't do that. I'm like, literally, I'm like, when am I quiet it in my mind, I'm like in the shower. Like, I'm just like washing my hair.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah, you can totally meditate.

[Mandy]

I'm not doing anything. I don't listen to music. When I'm in sir, I literally am just like there. Just like, kind of like.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

In a Zen zone.

[Laura Lee]

That's the best. Whenever I feel. They definitely will get in the shower.

[Mandy]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

Or like in the bathroom. Just. Yeah. Yeah.

[Mandy]

I feel like I get. I'm like, pretty calm there. And I'm there for like, what, 10, 15 minutes? I'll just like, kind of chill.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah, that's good.

[Mandy]

I feel like maybe that is a form of it.

[Taylor Lautner]

Totally, totally.

[Mandy]

But that's like, what? And sometimes I'm also the same with the car thing. Like, I'll listen to music sometimes.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

But a lot of times, too. I'll literally just drive in silence and I'll just like, be.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

In my.

[Taylor Lautner]

I too. I'll drive in silence a lot. And I'm just like in the zone. Have you ever been driving and you end up like, home and you don't remember getting there? You're like, yeah.

[Mandy]

Yes.

[Taylor Lautner]

And it's like you're a robot and.

[Mandy]

I'm like, oh, my God. Did I just drive?

[Laura Lee]

Yeah, yeah. I'm like, I could. I could have got an accident.

[Taylor Lautner]

I don't even remember. I don't remember.

[Mandy]

Auto zone. Yeah, AutoZone.

[Laura Lee]

I was. Thailand.

[Mandy]

You're in. So AutoZone.

[Laura Lee]

I was right there with you.

[Mandy]

Picking up off and down.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yes.

[Mandy]

I was like, you're in that zone. Oh, you're in that zone. Yeah, that's right. I was like, why the day said that, but I literally was, like, in autopilot. And I was like, what just happened?

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah, baby. Sometimes I'll be driving, I'll be like, oh, my God. I'll, like, snap out of it. Back to reality. People give me all the time on the podcast.

[Mandy]

They do get her. They'll get her. They'll get her. They'll be like, laura, you good?

[Taylor Lautner]

I'll be. I felt out so bad. Like, girl, I'll be over here in outer space.

[Mandy]

Like, one little Joy did.

[Taylor Lautner]

Literally, they're like, laura, get back in here.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Taylor Lautner]

You know what? I also have, like, a. I think, okay, this is, like, not. It's really not controversial. I think everybody has a certain level of ADD adhd. Like, I think there's a spectrum of it, and I think. Think everybody has it, and it's a different spectrum. You know what I mean? But I think everybody has a kiss. Yeah, a little kiss. A touch. I think my touch might be heavy.

[Mandy]

Oh, I know mine's heavy, too. So I. I under. Honey, I'm right there with you.

[Taylor Lautner]

I feel like my touch might be a little.

[Mandy]

Do you guys ever have that where, like, let's say you're going downstairs to get something, and you get there and you're like, I don't know what I needed to get.

[Taylor Lautner]

But then you had to go back to the spot you were.

[Laura Lee]

I have to retrace my steps.

[Mandy]

Me, too.

[Laura Lee]

Like, at minimum, once a day. Minimum, once a day, I'll get downstairs.

[Mandy]

And I'm like this.

[Taylor Lautner]

You know what I do on my laptop with work? Because I'm really bad with that. I'll open tabs with what I'm supposed to do. Like, for instance, interview questions. So I put a tab that said taylor Lautner and interview, you know, like, whatever I'm doing. Edit this Revolve video. So I'll open Revolve's website and I leave myself clues. Yeah, that's sad bread. I'm breadcrumbing myself to what I'm supposed.

[Mandy]

To be doing on my phone. I'll literally be like, okay, I'll. I'll scroll up so I can see all the tabs I had opened. And I was like, what did I need to do? And I'll go through my tabs on my phone.

[Taylor Lautner]

You're like, I don't know.

[Laura Lee]

You gotta do what you gotta do. I guess I, I have a piece of paper I love, like a pen. I'm a pen and paper girly sister. So I always have a notebook by me and if I'm, if I'm working on something and I'll. The thought will like just float by. It's like, oh, yeah, you have to do this. Okay, I'll write it down. And then so I could try to focus on whatever I'm doing. And I just like have a list of like 20 things. When I'm done, I'm like, okay, great. Well that's, I did one thing and.

[Mandy]

Now I have like, you did that and like wrote it down. Sometimes on my notes, I will pull up my notes and be like, like, I have to get that done.

[Laura Lee]

I did also hear though from someone. She was, I was, was having this conversation with her and she told me that she would get a lot of anxiety because she'd have all these thoughts and she would forget them. And her therapist was like, if you're forgetting the thought, it probably isn't that important, so you need to like let it go and it'll come back. I was like, yeah, maybe I should be like panic writing it.

[Taylor Lautner]

I know I used to self sabotage myself because I would get hung up. Like, let's say a negative situation happened. I would get really hung up in negative situations and I wouldn't allow myself to move on them. And now I'm like older now, wiser. This was me in my 20s and I would just harp on them and think about and be mad and talk about it with everyone all the time and never let it go. And I, and I knew I would need to let it go, but I wouldn't do the things too. So now if I had deal with the negative situation, I, I'm like, okay, I'm done with it. I'm putting it away. But then I'll go into action and do something, put my phone down and go on a walk or clean some area of my house. Like I make myself, I'm much mentally stronger now than I used to be. Because you grow up, you know, it happens. But that, that's a little trick I'll do too. Like I, I quit self sabotaging myself. Like, I'm like, no, I don't deserve this. I'm gonna do better, you know what I mean? So that's a good. But have you read the book Atomic Habits?

[Laura Lee]

I haven't.

[Taylor Lautner]

You should, Everybody should. Every human on earth should read it. But basically us leaving ourselves breadcrumbs and clues is like. Talks a lot about that in the book to like jar yourself and like, like if you want to stop smoking, get the cigarettes out of your house or make it really hard or put them in a really un convenient place. Anything that is in our face we are going to do. Yeah. Like that's just like hard. Like if you don't want to stop drinking so many sodas and you have them lined up in your fridge, you're going to drink the sodas. Yeah. And then it's like if you want to drink more water but you. And you carry around an ice cold water, you're probably going to drink more water. But if you don't have it readily. So it's like the thing with like the tabs and like reminding yourself. The notebook. Writing things down.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

So that's a really good one with. It's just like you know, helping our minds along.

[Mandy]

Giving your breadcrumbs. Literally giving our brain breadcrumbs.

[Taylor Lautner]

Little breadcrumbs. I even have a section in my closet because like people send clothes and like sometimes it just gets all jumbled in. So I created a section of my closet for new outfits I want to wear.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, I love that.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah. So it's like these are pieces I really want to get in and wear. So it's a section in my closet. Whenever I have something in a bin or something, I'll go there and I'm like, oh yeah, these new pieces love that.

[Mandy]

That just remind you that's not jumbled in your like.

[Laura Lee]

Yes.

[Mandy]

Thrown into what you.

[Taylor Lautner]

I'll never see them again. You know what I mean? It's like I have to dig through, you know?

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

So it's interesting. But yeah, like anytime you want to do something is basically setting yourself up for success in that area by leaving things out. We're very visual people. Humans are. We're very visual. Yeah, well, we see what we do. You know what I mean? What's in front of us. We may wear the same pair of jeans every day and it might be because those jeans are like the first ones in the drawer. It's just like easiest to grab. Like, you know what I mean? That's just how built as humans.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Taylor Lautner]

Convenience. That's the thing. So make it convenient for yourself to do your next goal you know, like something good.

[Laura Lee]

Yeah.

[Mandy]

Or make it hard to do the thing you don't want to do.

[Taylor Lautner]

That's the way you can play it on both. You can make it hard to do the things you want to get rid of. Make it hard on yourself. Like, if you're, like, trying to eat a little better, get the junk out of your house. Make it hard. One girl said she lost a lot of weight. I don't know if this is a healthy thing or a toxic habit, but she said she would ask self, well, do you want a banana? Apple strawberries? No. Then you're not hungry.

[Laura Lee]

I was like, oh, that seems.

[Mandy]

I'm like, wait. I feel like, is that right?

[Taylor Lautner]

That sounds right or wrong. Is that right?

[Laura Lee]

It seems right.

[Taylor Lautner]

You have to be careful with those things.

[Mandy]

You know what I mean? That seems like it would be like.

[Taylor Lautner]

She would, you know, give herself the healthy options.

[Laura Lee]

And if she's usually, like, as a snack, like, throughout the day. I'm such a snack. That's the snacks. Get me.

[Taylor Lautner]

I would rather have six snacks a day than a meal. And then, real problem. That's girl dinner right there.

[Mandy]

That's literally girl dinner. That's really, like, I'll just get the chips instead.

[Taylor Lautner]

Yeah.

[Laura Lee]

I literally ate a little ticket bag of chips before I came. I was like, I should girl lunch.

[Mandy]

Yeah, that was your girl bag of chips with, like, a cube of cheese. And you're like, yeah, yeah, slay. I'm full.

[Laura Lee]

Literally.

[Taylor Lautner]

That was me at Coachella. At Coachella. Had, like, a bag of chips and a piece, like, a bite. A one bite of pizza every night for dinner.

[Laura Lee]

Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

[Mandy]

I mean, that's an experience.

[Taylor Lautner]
