Meg
No, it is funny because he's just like, keeps coming back and trying to explain and we're like, just stop.
Tana Mongeau
It's like, we get it.
Meg
The one place I got mobbed the most here in New York is the Victoria's Secret in Times Square. Oh my God.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Meg
Have you been to that one?
Tana Mongeau
You might as well have been like with Mickey Mouse outside just being on me.
Meg
I'm not. Well, I went by myself too, which is a mistake when Moses comes with me.
Tana Mongeau
Like, you're so fearless. Hello.
Meg
Hello.
Tana Mongeau
Welcome to not Loveline New York edition.
Meg
Not Loveline. Today it's yapping. Although we are going to take guys questions in the next episode. In the next episode. It has to be a gap.
Tana Mongeau
It has to be. I mean, there's so much going on. New York is like so wild. You're doing everything. I can't wait to talk about.
Meg
You're doing everything. And I know people are like, you guys always like a hype each other, but you're like literally doing everything too. I see you everywhere.
Tana Mongeau
No, we don't have the same. And I saw someone comment this on her Instagram. But like, we do not have the same 24 hours in our day that Trisha Paytas has in her day. It makes no sense to me. I was like dying laughing this morning because I my eyes opened at like 8am and I was like, Trisha's probably already like cut a big red ribbon in the city and like has keys. She like landed a plane at jfk. Like, what has she done? By the time my eyes are open, like, you're in full glam.
Meg
I should take off. Like FAA just like, oh, you need you new traffic controllers. Why pay all the people that are not getting paid. And I'll. You know what I mean? Like, that's. That's the goal for sure. But I'm glad you made it here.
Tana Mongeau
I know. I know you're the only person that I can be up in Adam for, and I'm trying to come alive right now, but it is.
Meg
First of all, you are. And you're like, I'm chipper. And I'm like, me too. Yeah, because you went to Starbucks and you got a snack.
Tana Mongeau
I got a jalapeno chicken pocket. And I'm not gonna lie right now. Like, it is not chicken pocketing. My body is really unhappy that I ate that 3D printed Starbucks food again. But, like, it was.
Meg
But it was so exciting.
Tana Mongeau
I love.
Meg
I'm surprised you. I love going to, like, places like this is like, pret. Or, like, vanilla gorilla. Like, I love getting, like, cute New York cute. Yeah, I do too.
Tana Mongeau
But when I'm in a rush, I hate things that I like, don't know. Like, even the other night, I, like, tried a new restaurant, and I was like, why would I do this? I'm like, it was. Well, it was Chandelier Cathedral. It's a towel group restaurant. So they were like, do you want to go to Tao Beauty in Essex or Cathedral? It's new. And I'm such a creature of habit. Like, I was like, I want to go to Tao. And everyone was like, let's. No, let's try the new one. Like, whatever. And then I just, like, was throwing a tantrum. I was like, I want to go to town.
Meg
Because it wasn't, like, good food.
Tana Mongeau
Well, it was good. I really just am a creature of habit. Like, even when I'm. Whenever I go to New York or Vegas, like, I eat at my same, like, favorite restaurants. And, like, you know, it's good. Yes, exactly. And like, I. I like the vibes.
Meg
There's. My mom's like, that too. Like, she'll. I'm like, mom. Like, she's here helping us with the kids and stuff like that. And I'm like, okay, go out. Like, have fun. Like, go to Bryant park, get some food or something. Like rainbow grilled cheese. And she'll just go get, like, Taco bell grilled cheese burrito.
Tana Mongeau
She's so real for that.
Meg
Oh, like. And she goes there all the time. She's all the time square to get her grilled cheese burrito. And comes back. I'm like, so much. And I'm the same way. But, like, there's so much.
Tana Mongeau
There is much more that New York has to offer than a grilled cheese burrito.
Meg
There's so many places I still, like, want to try. There's one near my theater. It's a steakhouse. Let me see what it's called. I, like, wrote a whole bunch down that I, like, want to try. I mean, I love a car.
Tana Mongeau
I've never had Carmines there said try.
Meg
Guys, what did you just say?
Tana Mongeau
What should we try today? Oh, is that Ned Fulmer? Is he a try guy? And he, like, cheated, right? And then he, like, keeps apologizing, and no one asked for, like, the seventh one, right?
Meg
Yes. Did you see his latest one?
Tana Mongeau
Yes. I saw my friend Molly. She, like, stitched it, and she just goes. And I was like, so real. It's like, how is he still.
Meg
No, it is funny because he's just, like, keeps coming back and trying to explain, and we're like, just stop.
Tana Mongeau
It's like, we get it.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
We know what you did. We don't. I don't think we like you. I don't know enough, but I think.
Meg
That I'm, like, weirdly invested, and I need to not be like that part.
Tana Mongeau
Because it's like, well, they were so wholesome, the try guys. It was like. Yeah, they were, like, biblical.
Meg
But also, it's like. It's like his. Oh, my God. I don't even want to get into the weeds of it, but it's like, yeah, it's, like, one thing to cheat, but it's, like, also, like, it was with an employee. So you ruined the whole thing for all the try guys who work so hard for this company. Yeah. And then it's like, the apology to come back was just like. It wasn't an apology. It was definitely like, well, I didn't want to ruin our marriage either. I'm like, but you did.
Tana Mongeau
Oh. And he's like, gaslighting this.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Like, across that.
Meg
Yes. Yes. And I was just like, I don't. That's what I don't like is the gaslighting. I'm like, just take accountability. Oh, Gallagher Steakhouse. That's what it's called. I love a steakhouse. That's, like, my favorite because I love all the sides. And it's, like, right next to the theater.
Tana Mongeau
You put me on to Ruth Chris. Like, you changed my life, Harris. And just everywhere. There's one. In Maui, there's one. Yeah. How have you not been to Ruth Chris and Maui?
Meg
Oh, that's gonna be. So. I know we were talking last night because, like, Makoa and you And Moses and me were like all in a car together.
Tana Mongeau
It was so cute.
Meg
It was cute. I actually didn't want the car. Right. It's so funny.
Tana Mongeau
It was like the same way I was talking about how Makoa's too nice for his own damn good.
Meg
Oh, you're so good. We had like an interim of. No, we didn't wait.
Tana Mongeau
Well, technical difficulties, but we're having a technical.
Meg
I forget where we're at. Like, I'm always just like. And you like picked up so, so good. You're so professional.
Tana Mongeau
I'm passionate about this cuz I'm like, I'm not shy. Okay. Like I. I try to do the right thing. He really like, he takes doing the right thing. It's the Hawaiian mentality. Like he's the type of person who like we're driving down the road even, and he's like letting every person go. Like he's like just taking it. He's so sweet to a. Like not to a fault, but like.
Meg
Yeah, that's like why you love him.
Tana Mongeau
I'm not that sweet. Yeah, exactly.
Meg
Yeah. No, you are sweet. But like he's beyond.
Tana Mongeau
He takes it there.
Meg
Yeah, yeah. He's just like so chill, calm. Well, yeah, the person. Yeah, babe, let's go. It was. It's. It's so weird too to see you in like a different like element because I'm just always just see you in my house. Yes. So even like at your tarte launch or now in New York, I'm like, oh my God, we're in a different state. I'm always like, feels like we shouldn't be here or something.
Tana Mongeau
Like, I know, it is like, it is just so cool that we're here at the same time. We're like so lucky to be doing all of this stuff. And like even last night it was so cute because like it was all of us. I brought Paige, Amari, Sarai, J Rod, Meg. Meg brought two friends. Makoa. My security was nine of us.
Meg
Oh, is that where it was? I was like, there was nine. I was like, I'm not counting nine. So two of your friends.
Tana Mongeau
But they were there.
Meg
They were not there. They were there for the show.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, okay.
Meg
I was like trying to count. Caught. Okay.
Tana Mongeau
Yes. And so we took up a whole row and it was so fun. Like it was just crazy. And like, you know what? I was like talking about it like afterwards too is like I felt like I was in a row like at a Trisha Paytas show which would like never happen. Do you get What I'm saying, if I went to Trishmas or something. Yeah. Like, be, like, backstage, stage. And it was so cool, like, being in the crowd, it was chaos. It was pure chaos. But, like, it was so, like, iconic. I was like, I don't know if I'll ever do this again.
Meg
Yeah. In the crowd, people backstage are just like, yeah, your friend has, like, a lot of light. Because, like, Broadway is so different. The Broadway world is so different than social media world. Like, if I told you Broadway actors that are so famous, you'd be like, who? And like, same thing with, like, Broadway, like, stage managers, like, they just don't know. Like, influencers. Like, even me, they're probably like, who is this?
Tana Mongeau
There's something better to do.
Meg
Yeah. No, but it's just. It's so funny, like, how it's, like, all so different. So it is funny to see the two worlds, like, collide. Yes. They're like.
Tana Mongeau
And your friend is getting easy.
Meg
A lot of pictures.
Tana Mongeau
No. People were like. And it's funny. I was talking about this too. Like, people in LA are a little more reserved, I think, because they're, like, numb to seeing influencers.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Numb to seeing celebrities. Anywhere else in the United States is much more lawless.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
In a fun, chaotic way.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
But people were, like, hopping over people last night. I was like, yes. And I like.
Meg
Because you're in.
Tana Mongeau
Yes. I was in the middle of, like. Like, all my nine people were to the right and left of me. I was in the midd.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
And so people were, like, coming over rows and, like, forming lines in the middle of rows, and they were like. Also, it's funny, like, the, like, 10 of people who maybe were just there for, like, Beetlejuice, like, older couples versus.
Meg
Maybe more than 10. No.
Tana Mongeau
Trisha, don't even lie.
Meg
I do sell well.
Tana Mongeau
I'm saying it, like, for you. Like, it's crazy that every night the whole crowd is just filled for you. Like, you're selling out.
Meg
It was a big night last night. Like, there was a louder crowd than normal.
Tana Mongeau
It was so iconic. But the older couples, I kept turning to them like, I'm so sorry. Like, I don't know what to do.
Meg
And then they usually go, like, I don't know. Who are you? Can you tell me?
Tana Mongeau
I always talk about that. The, like, older woman who's gonna tell you seven times that she has no idea who you are, but, like, she means well.
Meg
Yeah. You handle it really good. I get a little more like, I'm not annoyed. I think I just get More embarrassed. And it's like, I don't love talking, like, explaining it because I'm just like, I don't.
Tana Mongeau
I always just tell them. I go, you're better off. I'll go, I don't know who you are. And I go, you're better off.
Meg
You're really nice about it. Yeah, no, I love. I do love. I do love that people were. Were gagged. I was.
Tana Mongeau
They were so sweet, and it was just so cool. Like, I also. I was talking to Moses after the show, and I was like, the girl who plays Lydia is so talented. And then he was like, she's a fill in. Like, she's not even the girl.
Meg
Yeah, she's the understudy. Which you came on a night where there was two understudies. Yeah, dad was an understudy. And, and, and. And, yeah, Lydia. It's Travis and Maddie, but they're both good. Travis usually plays my husband on stage, so the guy who played the dad last night usually plays, like, the husband role to me. So it was, like, weird to see him. And then, yeah, the Lydia that was there, she. I mean, they are also good, but yeah, they. Yeah, she was the. She was understudied, but they. They're really amazing. Like, even if you see an understudy, like, to me, that's, like, special because it's like a different show.
Tana Mongeau
Yes. And then knowing that people switch, like, every single person in the show, for the most part, like, knows the whole show, like, they can be other roles. It's like, you people are sick. I don't remember my Starbucks order.
Meg
No, but that's. What's. The guy who played my husband last night on the show. He also will fill in for Beetlejuice if Beetlejuice is not available. So he's gone in for Beetlejuice. I'm like, what do you mean? You just go in for every single role.
Tana Mongeau
Like, that's so talented. And all of the vocals I like, I very often was forgetting that it was live. The vocals were so crisp and clear and good that I was like, I feel like I'm listening to a soundtrack.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
What do you mean? You're just hitting that note over and over and over again?
Meg
Like eight shows a week. We did two shows yesterday. Like, they're insane. No. Every time I'm like, you know, I should be on Broadway and then listen to them backstage, I'm like, oh, no, not like.
Tana Mongeau
No, but you were. And McCo and I were talking about this for, like, a very long time last night, but it is so incredible how natural you felt on that stage in that environment. It seemed like you'd been doing it your whole life. It, like, it seems so earned, too. It wasn't just like, oh, they gave Trisha Paytas this thing and she's being Trisha. It was like you were in character and you murdered it, like. And I literally. I was moved. Amari and I were, like, crying because it's like, how beautiful is it to also watch someone not only achieve their dream but succeed at it, you know?
Meg
Thank you. That means a lot. Yeah. I didn't want to ruin the show because I love the show so much and I.
Tana Mongeau
You did not. You were adding to it. You. And you also, like, the most iconic moment in this. It's.
Meg
Thanks I've had. It's literally like, yeah, it's my favorite thing. Like, I honestly, we talk about this, like, I would, like, 100% move here at least part time. Like, I would love to do a show and be on stage more and, like, you know, like, be here longer. I love. I do love California, but, like, I think we really need residences in New York, Vegas, Hawaii in here.
Tana Mongeau
They're great places. We are so blessed to, like, get to do our job and, like, just go to these, like, amazing places and feel the love here. Like, the New York girlies, they show up and they show out.
Meg
It's. It's such a different vibe too. And I do love everyone everywhere. But New York is such, like, a different. I don't know, like, they're just. I don't know how to explain it. They're just. I don't know, it's a different vibe.
Tana Mongeau
It also feels like even just last night, like, I was waiting for you after the show, and it's like I was like, my friend is like this huge star.
Meg
Like, it just.
Tana Mongeau
It feels so. Even you coming out to sign all the playbills, like, at the stage door, it's so, like, traditional media, like, fame and it's so. And it's just, like, things. I feel that way.
Meg
It is cool that when you see someone, like, in, like, their element. You know what I mean? Like, that's why I loved, like, anything you do, too. I felt like that at your tar party when I saw every single, like, LA influencer model there always hyping me. No, but it's true. I feel the same way. And you, like, you don't see it until you see someone in their element, you know? Like, I met Moses in quarantine, so he never saw me, like, perform. And I'm like, but wait. Wait till you see me on stage. Like, I feel like I'm really, like, so, like. And. And him too. I never got to see him in his element. He used to do, like, art galleries where he would show his art, and I never got to see him in his element. And I feel like once you see probably Makoa surfing. It's like, once you see someone just, like, in. Where they thrive.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Meg
You, like, have this whole other. Like, that's my friend. That's how I feel with you. When I see you outside of our. My basement. You know, it's like, oh, my God. I live. There is a superstar. Like, you know, and people do go crazy for you. Even last night, just, like, seeing people so excited.
Tana Mongeau
But we should do a gallery for Moses. Like, for one of your anniversaries or something. Like, even in the house. Like, just make the house, like, look like a gallery.
Meg
Oh, well, like, the lake house we're trying to get. I told him it's gonna be like a water museum. Like, all his. Like, because he has a water museum, but it's, like, really far. It's, like, in downtown la, and it's like, we don't go there. So I'm like, we're gonna do, like, one at the. So, like, the goal is to get, like, a house on the lake so you could have all his water.
Tana Mongeau
Water on the water.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Broadway's paying for that.
Meg
Stop paying for that. Broadway. I'm paying to be here, basically, because it's, like, it's expensive. New York is expensive.
Tana Mongeau
But it's cool still that it's like. Because I know you would do it for free.
Meg
Yeah. No.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Meg
Like, it's definitely not about money.
Tana Mongeau
I always say that. There are, like, so many things in our job where I'm, like, telling people. I'm like, I would do this for free. Like, it's just so cool. I'm passionate about.
Meg
Yeah. Oh, for sure. No, I literally. I always said it, but I would literally pay to be on Broad and, like. And we are, kind of. Because in a sense, it's like, my. All my family's here and stuff. And so we have to, like, pay a little, like, extra or whatever. But, like, it's worth it.
Tana Mongeau
I love it. It's worth. Literally. It was just like. I can't explain to you because, like, Trisha's role, she, like, opens this, like, door. It's almost like a sitcom. Like, when someone, like, opens the door and they come out and then the whole audience cheers. Like, that's your Role. And, like, the scream in the building was guttural. Like, it was like, you could hear it. I know you could hear it from, like, the. The Statue of Liberty heard it. Like, she woke up. She was like. Like, it was insane. It was.
Meg
It was. It was cool. Last night was really cool. The energy was cool. And I knew you're there, so I was like, let me. Like, really. I mean, I always give my all to every performance. I'm like, hey.
Tana Mongeau
I was screaming at the top of my lungs, like, I'm surprised I have a voice today.
Meg
It's so. No, it's a really cool. And I know, like, someone's there. Someone's been there every single night, which has been really nice. So it's been, like, extra special.
Tana Mongeau
But I'm so happy to see you, too. Like, just feeling so seen and supported by the people who love you, too. Like, in this era. It's just so cool. You deserve it.
Meg
That's been the coolest part of all this, is, like, seeing people show out, like, physically, like, buy a ticket because all those people with playbills bought tickets, and I'm just like, oh, my gosh. Like, it's like, so what do you think of, like, when you think of New York? Like, what is. Like, how do you romanticize it? Like, what to you is like, I love New York for this reason. Like, to me, it's like Broadway, but, like, food. Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
See? And you're right. Okay. It is Broadway and food.
Meg
Okay.
Tana Mongeau
Like, that is the correct answer, and mine is, so you need to know yours. I have a few. Okay. I think that driving over the bridge at night is one of the most magical things in the world. And I have so many memories where I'm, like, a lot of them are partying, but, like, where I'm going to this party or I'm leaving this party, I'm with people in the car, like. And you're just, like, creating memories. Like, that's a big one for me. The restaurants, like, the. Just the nightlife. A lot of the nightlife in New York, I love it so much. Like, the box or going to Carbone or just, like, iconic restaurants and stuff. I mean, the shopping also, like, just the sex in the city, like, shopping. The full fantasy is here.
Meg
Yeah. You're in your Sex and the City era.
Tana Mongeau
I. I had a whole shopping moment the other day, and I was just like, oh, my God. Like, this is. I can't believe this is my life. Like, how did I get to spend this money and do this and, like, be a Girl, I bought a Birkin. I bought my first Birkin here, like, literally two nights ago, and I'm so. I should have brought it to show you. It's not even here. I didn't take her out. She's heavy.
Meg
What is. What kind? Is it like, a Kelly, or is it just like a.
Tana Mongeau
It's a big 40. Like, it's huge. And it's black with silver hardware. It's my dream. Dream. Dream.
Meg
It's a big one.
Tana Mongeau
It's huge.
Meg
So where do you. Where do you see yourself, like, carrying it?
Tana Mongeau
Your house in back.
Meg
Me with my pink bling? My rainbow Birkin? Yeah. Are you gonna baby it? Because. Because Birkins. Like, I don't. Like, I learned this. Like, the history of Birkin is, like, you're supposed to, like, it's supposed to be a bag that you, like, drag around and stuff. So it's supposed to get, like, beaten up is, like, the whole thing.
Tana Mongeau
I kind of think I will carry it authentically to myself. Like, I'm. I'm not big on carrying things in, like, a pristine way.
Meg
Like.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, I almost like when something gets a little weathered and stuff like that. I'm not purposefully trying to weather my Birkin, but, like.
Meg
Like. But people do it.
Tana Mongeau
I also think this is the one and only one I'll ever have. Like, I don't have a desire to collect them, really. Like, I just. I wanted this one. I can't believe I did it. I was telling Makoa, like, it's a girl's dream to buy a Birkin. Like, it's. I can't even. I was sobbing.
Meg
Was it secondhand or.
Tana Mongeau
Yes.
Meg
Oh, love that.
Tana Mongeau
I was not doing all those appointments. I think it's so weird how people just accept the color from Hermes that's given to them.
Meg
I hate that, too. Or just be like, we pick who gets to buy one. I was like, yeah, I want to.
Tana Mongeau
Be in sweatpants, and I don't want a chartreuse Birkin.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Like, literally, I don't. I've never understood the appointment thing. It's so craz.
Meg
No, it's so weird. Yeah. Go to, like, I got mine from Privy Porter, who's, like, this, like, broken seller and stuff. So. Okay. So did you. How do you feel about it?
Tana Mongeau
I love it so much. It is just, like. I mean, I. Someone go tell me who, like, literally couldn't afford a meal that one day. Like, I. I don't know it. Because I think that for some women, not all women, but girls who like to Shop and, like, nice things. Definitely look at a Birkin as, like, a sign of, like, I made it.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
I was saying that to McCoy. It was. It's. It's such a, like, I made it moment. Like, I can't believe, like, I'm able to have this, and I'm gonna have it forever, and my granddaughter's gonna have it one day, and, like, I'm just, like, so. And it really will be my one and only. I think so. She's my baby.
Meg
I think it is, like, yeah. When you grew up with, like, no money, like, not being able to, like, afford, like, I think your situation is, like, was more extreme than mine. Like, if you, like, can't afford, like, food and stuff like that, like, that is the whole thing. And then, like, getting to, like, make it on your own and, like, being able to, like, buy something, it is. It does have some, like, value to it.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. I'm, like, looking at it, and I'm just being like, I'm thinking of younger me, and I'm like, oh, my God, we did this. Like, I want to tell her that, you know, and I know it's a material item. It's. It's more the symbolism and getting to buy it in New York, and, like, life is just so good. Like, coming here to do Loveline, and I'm like, just, like, everything that I'm doing in life. Right. I'm so grateful.
Meg
Yeah, it's. No, it's amazing to, like, see you just, like, thrive, too. Like, you were at Tart yesterday, and I was like, wait, are you doing another chart campaign? Like, I was just, like, so, like, gagged for it. I was like, oh, my gosh.
Tana Mongeau
It is like, I. And I feel so blessed. Like, just, like, I really. Like, people are, like, showing up for me in a way that people never have, you know? And it's cool. I have, like, a publicist for the first time in my career, which. Like, how is that? So. Yeah.
Meg
Is it good? Wait, I think I know your publicist. It's.
Tana Mongeau
I'm with Icon pr.
Meg
And who was I just saying? I think I just started.
Tana Mongeau
There's, like, nine of them. I'm still learning their names. Like, it's. I feel like a whole different person. Like, I have, like, nine little people running around.
Meg
Like, yeah, there's someone who's like, I just started working with Tiana. Yeah. I don't know who it was. Oh, my God. That's so weird.
Tana Mongeau
No, there's so much at my house, and I was like, there's so many of them. But it's. It's funny because for so long I felt like I couldn't be saved. Like there was no PR agent in the world that could help Tana Mongeau's career. What is a pr?
Meg
I guess I don't really know. Like, does it get you on shows? They have.
Tana Mongeau

Meg
Image. I don't know what it is. Thank you so much to RO for sponsoring today's episode of Not Loveline. You know, health care isn't just about your physical health. It's the way you show up for yourself, for friends, for work.
Tana Mongeau
Many people delay seeking weight loss related health care not because they don't want help, but because they're overwhelmed by the system. Fine print, endless calls, confusion about what's covered. ROE clears that path by starting with a free insurance check to see which, if any, GLP1 medications are covered by their insurance. No guesswork, no hassle, so you can feel good about taking the next step.
Meg
Life is already complicated and when your health and weight loss goals take a backseat because of insurance complexity, it's easy to feel stuck. Rose Insurance Checker is built to unstick that moment. Free, simple and built to help people move forward.

Tana Mongeau
Rose Insurance Checker lets you know if you're covered for GLP1s for free. If you want to see if you're covered, just submit your insurance card and RO will take care of the rest. No paperwork, no hassle, no waiting on hold. Rose Free Insurance Checker will send you a comprehensive report of your coverage details so you can make a decision that's right for your goals.

Tana Mongeau
They can kind of do anything that you want in that regard. But what I'm kind of using them for right now is just more press. Like, I just went and did, like, a Page Six interview. Like, different things like that. Like, especially when the book comes out, I want to already be in, like, good graces with them in the circuit. Exactly. Just be able to, like, do it. And it's been fun. It's interesting. I'm like, it's different.
Meg
So are you just, like, so busy? Because, like, all the time, like, you're just like, yeah.
Tana Mongeau
I was like, I want a publicist. And then they were like, okay, we're gonna fill up your calendar to a point that you literally don't have five minutes.
Meg
Yeah. No. You're like, I have a slot, and I don't want to slot you. But I'm like, honestly, when you're in New York, because we are here for a long time, I'm the same way. I'm the exact same way. I'm like, I think Texas Meg. I'm like, I have from 2 to 4 tomorrow. Like, and it is like, no, literally, you have to schedule it that way.
Tana Mongeau
And it's also unserious, too. I woke up the other day, and I was like, meg, can you DM the Empire State Building back? And Amari was, like, dying laughing, and I was like, what the Is my life?
Meg
Like, what Empire State Building? Loki has, like, lit socials. Like, they are. I did the lighting. Are you, like, what do you do? Are you just going on a tour or are you lighting? What are you doing?
Tana Mongeau
I'm doing content with them. Like, I don't.
Meg
Okay, that's. That's fun.
Tana Mongeau
I don't know if I could do the lighting because, like, you did pink. Like, I don't know what I would do.
Meg
I don't know, like, the logistics of it, but I think you can just, like, light it. And then that night, it, like, lights it. I'm sure they'll, like, let you do it, because they're like, yeah, their social media is so fun, and you get to go to the top and, like, are you gonna go out?
Tana Mongeau
Yes. And you yell something.
Meg
Yeah, but I don't do the Wicked. I was like, it's me, and I had no voice, and they did the. They didn't make me do it, but they're like, you should do the Wicked. I was like, yeah, you yell whatever you want.
Tana Mongeau
I don't know what the I'm yell.
Meg
But it's been so windy here. Not that, like, you're gonna Fall over. But it is so windy.
Tana Mongeau
No, it's the weather here has been. I did all my outside interviews the other day, and it was 34 degrees, and I was like, no, I didn't even. I don't. I blacked out. I have no idea what I said or, like, what I did. Like, it was so cold. And it's so funny because, like, New Yorkers will just be in, like, a cashmere sweater.
Meg
Yeah. Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
And, like, trousers, and it's 34 degrees. I'm like, where are your hand warmers?
Meg
Well, usually I'm on that side of it. I'm usually really hot and I can just, like, wear T shirts out and I'm fine. But, like, that day was freezing.
Tana Mongeau
My face hurt and I was like, what do you mean? Like a bleaching tone? Like, I don't have this in me right now. I need a heater.
Meg
I was so shocked to see you were here so early. And I was like, well, you wouldn't be here early because you are just booked and busy. You're off your gluten.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, I relapsed on gluten. And I even right now, like, it's. It's a ticking time bomb time. You're doing good on a potty break.
Meg
You're doing great. Okay, so what have you been eating that's like. Okay, it's been worth it.
Tana Mongeau
I mean, I love street meat. I love hot dogs. I. Can I tell you the God honest truth? I snuck one into your show last night and I know I wasn't allowed.
Meg
Are you not supposed to. I don't know.
Tana Mongeau
You're not supposed to sneak in outside food. And I had, like a glizzy under my coat. Yes. And ate it. Right when you were like. You came out. I was eating my hot dog, but I was trying to be fast about it.
Meg
No, I love, you know, some shows. I don't know if it's Broadway, maybe. Some shows used to have popcorn.
Tana Mongeau
See, I would have loved that. I got everything last night, though. You had. You have Kit Kats. You have.
Meg
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, at the show, they had it.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Meg
Oh, so they source in just not, like outside food, I guess.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, no outside food. Okay. I did it. I broke.
Meg
Well, dietary reasons. Like, I need it because I might pass out.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, literally, I needed it. But, yeah, I've been breaking my gluten. I actually didn't need it. That's the problem.
Meg
No, the hot dogs are legit.
Tana Mongeau
I love a New York hot dog because it's so nice. It's like, it's so fast. Like, you can be hungry. You're on your way to anywhere there's a hot dog cart. You get out, you get one, you keep going. Like, I love that. I wish they were everywhere. It's one of my favorite things about.
Meg
Oh, no. It is, like, on the go. Our Miss Argentina, the one who was like, all. I love her. She.
Tana Mongeau
I didn't know that song was from Beetlejuice, too. Like, I hot and I. Oh, yeah.
Meg
I went to parties. Yeah, that's Beetlejuice. Love it. It's my favorite song. Favorite character, obviously. I did a whole music video about it. Like, I love it.
Tana Mongeau
I knew that that's when she was mine, too.
Meg
Yeah. Yeah. And Vanessa is her name, and she. We always talk before, but she was literally, like, when I was going up to my scene, she was waiting by the stage door. A hot dog was being delivered to her from a car, and she's like, I just have to eat this real quick before she's doing her, like, big miss. I love that. I was, like, so new.
Tana Mongeau
The hot dog is the staple of New York. I actually really want to get a hot dog tattoo while I'm here, but, like, I think that I would hate where. Like, somewhere, like, an ankle, maybe? No, see, that's why you're here. That's trip. I'm in a tattoo mood right now.
Meg
Does Mako have them?
Tana Mongeau
No, he has none.
Meg
So you want to get, like, a matching hot dog?
Tana Mongeau
No, no, my God, no. With age, I would.
Meg
Oh, she's a tattoo.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, she's a tattoo person. And I have, like. I'm really bad with all my placements. Everything is placed so wonky of all my tattoos. And, like, I don't know. I'm kind of owning it, though. Like, I just. I want a Vegas tattoo. I want a New York tattoo.
Meg
Oh, my God. But little court.
Tana Mongeau
Like, very little.
Meg
Yeah, Just like.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, Stamp me up like a passport. Soon I'm gonna look like all the people. I'm gonna get them on my face.
Meg
That's kind of everything. Does everything. Would you get a fast tattoo?
Tana Mongeau
I almost got a face tattoo. And, like. And thank God for Ashley. Sean 1. My sister. My sweet sister. She said no. Like, she, like, grabbed me by the neck.
Meg
Yeah, the face tattoos.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, my God. So I'd be lasering it.
Meg
Yeah. I mean, if you like them, you like them. That's a sign you would. I don't know if I could see you in one.
Tana Mongeau
I'm too full glam. I think that's what it is, because then it's, like, half covered and like.
Meg
You know, like, maybe like your eyebrow or something.
Tana Mongeau
A different tana. A different. I have a little 1111, like, right here. You can.
Meg
Oh, that was yesterday or two days ago. You were here on 1111?
Tana Mongeau
Yes, I was. That was the day I was in the. So I was manifesting being warm. Yeah.
Meg
Have you been to any of the tour spots, like Bryant park or anything like that?
Tana Mongeau
No. That's one thing that's really bad about me with all cities but New York specifically. It's like, I've been here for, like, so much of my life. I've spent so much time in New York. And, like, I've never been to the Statue of Liberty. I've never, like, I've. I've never done, like, the, like, the Empire State. This is my first time.
Meg
Oh, my God. That, like, the Empire State is kind of worth it because also, like, are you going to do, like, a full tour? Do you know anything like that?
Tana Mongeau
What? I'm down.
Meg
Like, they take you all the way up and do you take stairs or.
Tana Mongeau
It's an elevator.
Meg
There's elevators. Thank God they have stairs. Like, but to get up to the very top, you do have to, like, climb this, like, little ladder.
Tana Mongeau
Did you do it?
Meg
Yeah. And I was so scared.
Tana Mongeau
Were you scared?
Meg
I'm kind of a little scared of heights. But if you're not.
Tana Mongeau
Me too. Makoa can take the ladder. I'll be at the bottom.
Meg
He can, like, hold you. Because, like, I. Coming down was the hard part because you have to go down the little ladder, too. And, like, someone. People were just, like, trying to, like, grab me because I'm like, I'm gonna fall.
Tana Mongeau
Even the Eiffel Tower is scary. Like, going up there and everyone's like.
Meg
Oh, I' in Paris.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, it's scary.
Meg
Even the one in Vegas. Is it the same dimension or. No.
Tana Mongeau
O. No question mark. No, the Vegas one's smaller.
Meg
I thought it was, like, built to scale.
Tana Mongeau
No, no, no, no. But that's so funny.
Meg
It looks big every time I see it. I was like, that's a big.
Tana Mongeau
Vegas is so funny. Mo always points that out to me. He's like, where else in the world are you? Like, in the middle of the desert and there's like, an Eiffel Tower and a Stratosphere and the Sphere and, like.
Meg
And Statue of Liberty.
Tana Mongeau
Yes. Literally.
Meg
Yeah. It's like, you could go to all of it. It's kind of Epcot it.
Tana Mongeau
Vegas is so Epcot coded. Have you Been to Epcot that, like. Yes.
Meg
Drinking around the world.
Tana Mongeau
I should know. Is that where you eat and drink around the world? Yes, in Florida. I've been to that.
Meg
Yes.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. Yeah. So you are.
Meg
Because I saw you say something like, I apologize to the Disney adults.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah. I owed them an apology, which was.
Meg
Like, I was like, I'm not a hardcore Disney adult, but someone who loves Disney. I was like, I love that so.
Tana Mongeau
Much because I think I was just unhappy with my own life. And then I started to meet people who, like, love Disney so much, and I was like, I was just, like, a hater for hating on Disney adults. Like, they're just having fun.
Meg
Why do you think people hate on Disney adults? Like, it is so interesting. Me, People get, like, really mad at adults going to Disney.
Tana Mongeau
I actually do think people just need something to, like, be mad at. I do think some people really take it there. But it's like, everyone has passions and everyone has, like. Like, I love Adam Sandler as much as those people love Disney. I love, like.
Meg
Let's talk about Adam Sandler. Oh, my gosh.
Tana Mongeau
Do you think I could potty first?
Meg
Yes. Like, a whole leopard outfit. I actually have, like, leopard.

Meg
I was like, I knew so. Well, I have a new manifestation I really want to do something with Victoria's Secret. And I, like, at first I was like, that's crazy. But then I was, like, seeing all the influencers that were, like, doing Victoria's Secret stuff, and I was like, I would.
Tana Mongeau
And it's so iconic. They're, like, so back.
Meg
They're back. They're so back. Yeah. Like, it's, like, fun. Okay, so we should.

Meg
Have you been to that one?
Tana Mongeau
You might as well have been, like, with Mickey Mouse outside just being.
Meg
I'm not. Well, I went by myself too, which is a mistake. When Moses comes with me.
Tana Mongeau
Like, you're so fearless.
Meg
Oh, my God. But what was funny is, like, there was, like, a little, like, group just following me, not saying anything. But they would be, like, overlooking. It was like, fine girls and gays at least. Yeah, yeah. Yes, it was. They were sweet. But it'd be like, I'd be at one thing and, like, 20 girls would come over like, we should get this, this. And then I go to the next one. Like, let's get this. Like, it was so funny, and I was like. I was just being, like, so awkward because it was the middle of a show. I had pin curls in my hair, so I had a beanie on. And it was just like, such a. Like, it was so funny. But it's the most beautiful store.
Tana Mongeau

Tana Mongeau
You're close. I have a whole discrepancy. I'm moving one of these days.
Meg
Oh, my gosh. Okay. And then Adam Sandler. So, like, literally, I really do feel we always talk about this, but it does feel when things align, you're just like, damn, what's like, I was so happy.
Tana Mongeau
I swear to God, you guys, if you have the chance to be friends with Trisha Paytas in this timeline, you'll become friends with her, and then all of your dreams will just start coming true. Like, in adjacent to her. Like, I don't understand. Understand. I. I just. Wow. Like, I mean, I don't know what it is. I just. The universe is really, like, throwing me a lot of bones lately. And I just hope people know that, like, there is not one second where I'm not, like, holy. I cannot believe this is my life. And I know you feel the same way. Like, gratitude is obviously so important, but it's still just, like, everything is beyond my wildest dreams. And I feel so lucky and, like. And, like, I just hope I am the poster child for all the girls out there, like, who are dealt a hand that, like, you can create your dream life and your wildest dreams.
Meg
Wildest dream.
Tana Mongeau
Wildest.
Meg
Isn't that crazy? Yeah. It's like when you meet, like, how. How your story came out with Adam Sandler. You can talk about it, but it's like you went to his show and then just, like, saw him after, which is like, that doesn't happen to, like, just anybody. So it's like, I knew It.
Tana Mongeau

Meg
That is wild. Like, you're just, like, staring at him.
Tana Mongeau
And, like, think about when you're on stage how well you can see the people in the front row. That's what I kept thinking about. I was like, he sees me. He sees me. And, like, oh, my God.
Meg
Was there.
Tana Mongeau
Like, I was in his pores. Like, I was so close to Adam Sand.
Meg
Was there like a. Like. Like, was there an eye connection? You know, how you connect eyes with someone? So, yeah.
Tana Mongeau
And I thought I was crazy at first, honestly, but I mean, again, like, front, middle, like, yeah. And I'm sitting there, a bright blue snapback and, like, a shirt that says Big Daddy.
Meg
Like, you went that route. I was happy to see that.
Tana Mongeau
I. It was Halloween. I think that's why I was like, you know what? I'm gonna dress as him. Like, on another night, maybe I wouldn't, but tonight I'm gonna. And then I got there and so many. It was so cool being in a room with so many like minded individuals.
Meg
Everyone dresses Adam Sandler.
Tana Mongeau
Yes. I was like, oh, my God. This is literally my dreamscape. I wanted you to be there so bad.

Adam Sailor is becoming trendy now again, which I, like, love, but it is kind of like, oh, my gosh.

Meg
Yeah, yeah.
Tana Mongeau
But, yeah, he just. He threw a Kit Kat at me. That was my favorite part of the night is like, that is. I have the KitKat. I'm putting it in a shadow box.
Meg
Like, I can't scream.
Tana Mongeau
Well, yeah, I fell to the floor and, like, got in the fetal position. Like, literally, I'm like, I'm not okay. I'm still not okay.
Meg
Are you recording any of this or is Mako recording any of this?
Tana Mongeau
The show was no record recording, and I took one video at one part where people were allowed, but I was not going to break the rules.
Meg
Whoa, that's interesting. I'm surprised because it's comedy, I think.
Tana Mongeau
And it's like, once it gets put out. Yeah, it's any sings, but, like, it's comedy singing. And I was just like, I can't break the rules. Like, imagine I got kicked out of Adam Sandler for filming. I would have had to, like, actually end my own life.
Meg
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, you know?
Tana Mongeau
So we were there. Makoa caught a hat that he threw, so I was already, like, so gagged that we had something that, like, he touched, fetched. And then he told this whole bit about a KitKat. He was telling this whole, like, story about a KitKat. And at the end, he went and grabbed KitKats. And he walks to, like, the front middle, and he looks at me and he goes, well, I go like this, okay, so I'm being, like, obnoxious. He has the Kit Kat and I go. And he goes, you want it? And I go, yeah. And then he, like, tossed it to me and I, like, grabbed it.
Meg
Oh, my God.
Tana Mongeau
So he goes, you want it? And I said, yes. And then, like, I caught it and he threw it to me and I caught it. Like, it was such a, like, moment. Yeah, like, you want this? Yeah. Like, we spoke, we had an interaction. I answered his question. I caught it. I, like, fell to the ground. I was sobbing. The people next to me were horrified of me. Like, I was just crying.
Meg
I like, what kind of like, they're older or it was like an older.
Tana Mongeau
Guy and his, like, younger wife. Like, you could tell they had money. Like, they're in, like, row one when he, like, yeah, yeah, like, and she was in, like, a nice dress, like, Vegas bougie. And I was, like, in basketball shorts, sobbing.
Meg
Like, you know, it was Halloween too. Yeah, like you said.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah, but, yeah. And then we went to High Limit after, and I was like, adam's gonna go, I know what they're gonna Gamble. It's Halloween. Like, they're gonna. And McCall was like, he's not gonna gamble at the fountain Blue. I'm like, he wouldn't want to go far. Like, he just. He's gonna come down the back row. And he did.
Meg
And how many people were in the room gambling? Like, was it crowded, like 50 people? Or is it like.
Tana Mongeau
No, honestly, it was probably like maybe. Maybe 15, 20 people were gambling all around the tables. It was a big room. Like, it's a big high limit room at the fountain Blue. But he walked in with, like, David Spade and just like all of the people he was like with that night. And like, like Rob Schneider and just like everyone. He had his, like, red aviator nation hood up. And he walked in and, like, the room just goes still. And I was like, I knew it.
Meg
And you say nothing. You're not saying anything.
Tana Mongeau
I. So I said nothing when he walked in because his hood was up. And I was just like, let's see what he's gonna do too. Like, what game is he gonna go in a private room? He went in a private room. He ended up, like, going to the back. And I was just, like, gagged. And I was, like, freaking out. I also kept winning. I was winning so much money that I was, like, focusing on Adam, but I was winning. I was like, the unit. This is crazy.
Meg
Yeah. You're like, I meant to stay here. I need to.
Tana Mongeau
It was. I turned like 200 bucks into, like $7,000 across Adam being in there. Like, I was just winning so much. I was like, what the.
Meg
What game are you playing?
Tana Mongeau
I was playing roulette and I was just betting on numbers. And it was so weird too.
Meg
It was like, that's wild.
Tana Mongeau
It was just nuts. And then he left, and as he was walking out, I go, love you, Adam. And he goes, love you too, and just, like, walked away. I love him. Like, it's crazy. And he had, like, security doing this. Like, his security was like.
Meg
So I was like, to everybody.
Tana Mongeau
Yes. And there were other people who were, like, coming up and gonna try to take a photo. And I just, like, I think had I been really obnoxious, I could have, like, gotten it.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
But I just never want to get it that way. Yeah.
Meg
Yeah. I feel like it's like, the right time. Then you'll like, no.
Tana Mongeau
When he wants to take a photo. Like, he did not want to take a photo at 2am in high limit with me.
Meg
Yeah. And I also think, like, hood up is always a good sign.
Tana Mongeau
I wanted Makoa to also I wish he would have recorded the interaction, but, you know. Yeah, he was starstruck.
Meg
Yeah, that's a lot. And also, you don't know what to do. Like, you see a celebrity, you're like, yes. What do you do?
Tana Mongeau
Especially even, like, Moko. I can only imagine he's like, what do I do? Like, she loves him so much. Like, how can I help? Like, he was, like, frozen. He was like, I don't know.
Meg
Yeah, well, that's better. Moses would go into, like, record mode, which I don't love. I'm like, don't. Don't record. They don't want to be recorded right now. You know what I mean? Yes. I was like, record mode.
Sponsor/Advertisement Voice
No, but.
Meg
What? No, but that's, like, also not good too, because it's like, what if they don't want to be recorded?
Tana Mongeau
That is so.
Meg
I guess you could have it for yourself. Like, remember this? Yes.
Tana Mongeau
I just keep rewatching the videos. I, like, can't even believe it. I want to go to another show. We should go.
Meg
What's the next one? Where's.
Tana Mongeau
I don't care if it's in Vermont. Like, I don't know. Let's go.
Meg
Vermont's a kind of cute at this time of year.
Tana Mongeau
It's close to here, right?
Meg
I don't know.
Tana Mongeau
I don't know.
Meg
We're on the East Coast.
Tana Mongeau
I'm lying, probably.
Meg
I mean that. I was, like, so excited. I was, like, so gagged. I was like, oh, my God.
Tana Mongeau
It was, like, the best night of my life. I literally just kept repeating that. This is the best night of my life. This is the best night of my life.
Meg
Like, that's how I feel about, like, this year. I'm just like, damn. Like, yeah. I had so many things to, like, Gerard.
Tana Mongeau
I was just gonna say Gerard Way.
Meg
Was the exact same way where I'm just like, gag. And we just did a cover of My Chemical Romance.
Tana Mongeau
I saw that.
Meg
It's from Yo Gabba gabba. From, like, 2011.
Tana Mongeau
You're lying.
Meg
Here's the thing.
Tana Mongeau
I love that you have found time for a sad boy reunion. This is exactly what I mean.
Meg
Like, well, that was the. So before I, like, left for New York, I was filming, like, my Christmas music videos. I have Christmas Eve coming out. I was doing my. The Sad boy Christmas one. Like, I was doing all my Christmas before I left. And so we did it in, like, October. Like, October, like, 20th. We recorded it. Yo gabba gabba. But literally, like, two days. No, three days ago, my Chemical Romance announces that they're doing a reunion on Go Gabba Gabba in, like, two weeks. And I was like, so weird. This song is so niche. It's from 2011. I was like, oh, we're gonna do a deep cut. We're gonna do this.
Tana Mongeau
Like, what if they asked you to come out? Like, they'd be so stupid not to. Like, they need to pull a Beetlejuice. Like, would you go on tour with them if they asked you?
Meg
Well, I feel like our audiences may not align. I mean, of course, yes, but I don't know if our audience. That's why I'm trying to bring sad boy back. I'm like, well, maybe sad boy. Maybe Trisha can't go on tour, but maybe, like, sad boy.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, my God, it's so true. I'm manifesting this. You don't need my help. Manifesting. Actually, let me shut the up. You got this.
Meg
No, I love it. No. So what I love. Can I tell you? Okay, here's the thing. Okay? I. I really am, like, getting to my witchy era. Like, if manifesting just totally works for yourself, but when other people start doing it for you, like, people have come to Beetlejuice, and, like, I want to see you in oh, Mary next. Like, something that would never even, like, cross my mind because, oh, Mary is, like, the hottest ticket in town next to Beetlejuice the musical. And it's like, I would never even, like, think about that. But when other people start, like, speaking into existence for you. So, like, you've been like, yes to it. My couple Romance is playing Hollywood bowl three shows next week. Week or next week next year. And, yeah, I would love to, but they've. And they've announced openers at every show.
Tana Mongeau
I'm Hollywood speaking. I'm speaking it into existence.
Meg
That might be a big stretch, but.
Tana Mongeau
You know, it's not. And you're right. Honestly, it is, actually. That's so funny. I. Like, now I'm really sitting here thinking, I wonder if you being like, you're gonna have your Adam Sandler moment spoken into existence.
Meg
Oh, my gosh.
Tana Mongeau
Like, have you spoken into existence for me? That's so true. Like, manifesting for each other. Yeah, I'm manifesting it for you.
Meg
Everyone and everyone like, supporting you. Like, even online, when people are like, oh, I can see you do this. I can see just, like, why I like to talk about things, because, like, when other people start believing it too, it just, like, creates a synergy in the universe, but it really does. Oh, my God, I love it.
Tana Mongeau
I love a little I've been so, like, spiritual lately. Even when I'm here. I have this weird feeling in New York specifically that, like, I lived here in a past life or like, that I'm meant to live here. I don't know how to explain that. I've always felt that way about New York. Like, when I'm here and I'm not, like, I don't do that a lot. I feel like girls, girls, like you always see a girl in her story and she's like, I need. I'm moving here. You need to live here. And it's like every city. Like, I don't feel that way. I don't need to live in every city that I go, like, at all.
Meg
Nashville. Not for you.
Tana Mongeau
No, I'm. I don't need to. That's not my Broadway. Okay. I prefer this one. Yeah, but I like Nashville. I mean, but just like, you know what I mean? No tea, no shade to Nashville.
Meg
I do like. Well, everyone's been in Nashville. That's why I use it as a thing because everyone is going Nashville. I guess we love.
Tana Mongeau
But I mean, we love that for them.
Meg
We do.
Tana Mongeau
I do like Nashville, but I don't feel that way about many places. And I come to New York and I. I'm like, I am supposed to be here. Like, I could 100 see myself living here.
Meg
Yeah, you've been saying that for a while because what like a couple years ago you thought about going to New York. So it's like, it has been a pull for you. Yeah, I could too. I think. I think I'd have to be like Bico so. Because I really do love like me.
Tana Mongeau
And this season here, like the freezing. I don't know if the West Coast.
Meg
I'm saying we're like spring fall girlies here. Summer gets really hot too.
Tana Mongeau
Yes.
Meg
But I would love to come back at the spring to wins us. Yeah, I think when you're. Yeah. I never felt it until like this trip, but I think being with like my kids and seeing how kid friendly like New York City is, we've gone to like the Bluey Museum, the Slime Museum. Like, there's like so many.
Tana Mongeau
How do you have the time to go to the Bluey Museum and Victoria's Secret in Times Square?
Meg
Like, we've been to the Museum of Natural History, the Bronx Zoo, the Central Park Zoo, the Slime Museum, the Museum of Ice Cream, American Girl, Cafe Fao Schwartz. Like, we have been.
Tana Mongeau
Take them to American Girl.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
How was it? So cute.
Meg
It's so cute because they have the little dolls, and then they have, like, this little, like, private, like, birthday party experience because my nieces and nephews were in town, so we had, like, all these little kids, and. And it was, like, so much fun. And, like, the girls, like, loved it. Have you been to the American Girl Cafe?
Tana Mongeau
I've never been. I just, like, I. It's funny. I saw an American Girl billboard, and I was like, I want to take Malibu there. Like, she's not my kid, but, like, I want to take her there.
Meg
You should. You should do fun things. That'd be so fun, actually, because she.
Tana Mongeau
I. I love all those things. I'm a kid at heart. I'm here healing my inner child, like, forever. So it's like.
Meg
And it's so fun to do it. Yeah, I think that's what it is, is, like, going with, like, my kids to places like. Like, even the central.

Lake Zoo, which is like, 1. What I heard is like, a. Is an okay zoo because there's, like, they're like, habitats. So there's, like, little. I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's a very, like, small zoo. And I think they, like, yeah, are good to them. But even just, like, walking around Central park or, like, the Plaza. Plaza. You know, just like getting to be at the Plaza and getting, like, an ice cream with them. Like, it's just, like, such a fun.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, my God. Just seeing it all through their eyes.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Malibu's so Eloise. The Plaza coated. Okay.
Meg
I have never seen it. I. I know the character I've seen the character. I don't know what it is. Like, I see everyone go to that pink room. But I don't know.
Tana Mongeau
She's just like, a little. She's like a little rich girl, and she's living at the Plaza.
Meg
I'm just like, she must be really rich if you're living at the Plaza. Right. I like that. It was, like, the, like, cheapest room for, like, a family is, like, 4, 000 a night. I was like.
Tana Mongeau
I used to always, like, stay somewhere here, and then I'd go to the Plaza, like, lobby for drinks and, like, post it as though. Yeah, Plaza. I wasn't at all.
Meg
I stayed at the Plaza when I did SNL in my Beacon show last year.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, that.
Meg
The Plaza. It was. And it's cool. You feel cool. But then you're also just like, damn, I spent way too much money for just myself. It was.
Tana Mongeau
I've done it. I get it. Like, just sometimes you want the whole experience.
Meg
It was a good experience. I did.
Tana Mongeau
But, yeah, that was me with the Versace watching Mansion. I was always like, is that still there? It is still there in Miami. But. Yeah, but it's fierce. Like, fierce.
Meg
He died in there or what?
Tana Mongeau
Yes. And it is so haunted.
Meg
Yeah. I don't know. I mean, that, to me, it seems a little scary.
Tana Mongeau
It was. I was also on a very low vibration at the time that I was staying there.
Meg
Like, oh, interesting. So maybe you're, like, drawn there because you were both on that same, like, low vibration.
Tana Mongeau
Yes. And, like, just drinking. When you, like substances, you're more like. I don't know. I had some weird experiences tapped into.
Meg
Like, at that place. Specifically.
Tana Mongeau
Face, like, woke up to just, like. I don't know, pulling, like, in scary. Like, it just, like, very scary.
Meg
Oh, my God.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Meg
What's your, like, being here? You said you're, like, more, like, spiritual. What is your, like, spiritual calling here?
Tana Mongeau
That really is, like. I don't know what it is, but I. I like to think I'm pretty tapped into my, like, spirituality, and I'm trying to get more.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Like, I'm just always researching, reading things. Like, it interests me so much. I believe in the universe and just signs from the universe and, like, karma gimmick everything. I don't know. Just when I'm here, there's a part of me that feels like I should be here or, like, I have been here.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Or like, I just don't know what it is. I love New York.
Meg
That's how I feel when I See, like, there's Marilyn Monroe photos with her and her husband, Arthur. Do you know anything about her? Like, he was, like, a playwright. I think his name was Arthur. Arthur Miller. That was the name. But there's, like, pictures of them, like, on the Brooklyn Bridge. And I was like, that's why I was trying to find the photographer. When I was asking you for a photographer, I was like, who can photograph me on the Brooklyn Bridge? And then people were just responding, like, oh, I'll just, like, walk up there with you. I mean.
Tana Mongeau
What do you mean?
Meg
You just walk across the Brooklyn Bridge? Like, I've never been there, so I don't know.
Tana Mongeau
Know. But I have a girl. She does dua lipa. That's why. No, just, like, shoots her.
Meg
Oh. I was like, okay, I'm trying to find this specific shot. But anyways, I kind of gave up on it because I'm, like, running out of time. I know. And I love this photo of Marilyn in New York because when she came to New York, she was, like, serious actor. She was, like, dressed in all black, and she had, like, gloves, and, like, she was trying to, like, really be taken seriously. And it's, like, it does give that vibe, too, even though it's, like, fun. And, like, obviously people come to Beetlejuice. It's, like, a fun vibe. But I am in my. Like, now I'm wearing pink. But you came in in a black trench coat. And I have one, too, from skims.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Meg
The skim store here is crazy. Have you been to that?
Tana Mongeau
I can only imagine the chaos. Like, the people.
Meg
There's so many people, six stories. The elevators are bougie. Their bags are, like, sexy bodies.
Tana Mongeau
Oh, my God. I saw people, like, because the body perfectly lined up.
Meg
Yeah. That was crazy. That was. I did not do it on purpose. I literally just took a picture because it was like the elevator was a mirror.
Tana Mongeau
You're just, like, viral by, like, without even thinking about.
Meg
No, I mean, I don't know about that, but it was fun. I love all the stores here. Just, like, so beautifully decorated.
Tana Mongeau
It's a shopaholic stream. New York City. Maybe that's why I feel called here. Like, I just love it here.
Meg
Stay here and win the lottery.
Tana Mongeau
Yes.
Meg
Oh, my God.
Tana Mongeau
That's the thing. It's so, like. I don't know. It's. It. It would be so easy to have a shopping problem here. Like, I understand Carrie Bradshaw intrinsically. It's like she was spending her last dollar on a pair of Manolos. And I get it.
Meg
So me have you. Have you owned a pair of Manolos?
Tana Mongeau
Yes.
Meg
I never have. Are they comfy or. No, they.
Tana Mongeau
They are. They're. They're more fragile than a lot of shoes. Like, more, like, not breakable if I don't know. But, like, I'm always on Depop, like, getting some vintage shoes. Yeah.
Meg
I love that shopping. Well, we can talk about that in the next episode.
Tana Mongeau
I'm so excited to serve you that vintage shopping experience. I hate that we can't get a matching thing, though.
Meg
Oh, like, it's one of a kind.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Meg
We can get, like, leopards, similar things. Yeah. You know, like, one color scheme.
Tana Mongeau
I feel like I'm gonna be insane in there. I always am. I want them to, like, so excited. And the pictures are cute. Like, we're gonna take such cute.
Meg
I cannot wait. And it's like, where is it Soho or Manhattan or where.
Tana Mongeau
Where's Treasures?
Meg
I mean, we can figure out. I don't know. You look like a Disney princess with your hair down. Oh, my gosh.
Tana Mongeau
Her hair is so unreal.
Meg
Gorgeous. You look, like, just flowing, just.
Tana Mongeau
She's literally a princess.
Meg
It's giving Disney princess.
Tana Mongeau
Like, Meg is my Disney princess. Like, I'm walking in and I'm like, hi, I'm late. And she's like, sorry, we were just stopping to see.
Meg
It's also giving, like, Game of Thrones. The girl who was with Jon Snow, like, you give, like, Game of Thrones or, like, Sophie Turner. You just have really beautiful hair.
Tana Mongeau
She's like, I don't know any of those things. She's a baby, though. She's so young. Oh, my God. We were. We were watching the Titanic last night, and I've never seen it, and she's never seen it. We were getting cooked by everyone for being uncultured.
Meg
That's crazy. It is crazy. I'm not crazy, but it's crazy. You don't see Disney movies. You haven't seen Titanic or, like, Beetlejuice or, like, you're like, I didn't even know this character.
Tana Mongeau
I was like, I learned everything about Beetlejuice last night, and I love him. I didn't know it was so, like, about death, which I kind of love, like, in a fun, light way, but. But, like, you know, in a fun.
Meg
And in the musical is a little deeper than the movie. The movie. He's a little more, like, creepy. Whatever. Like, in the musical goes a little more in depth with, like, the dad and the daughter and, like, that. But it's. Yeah, it's.
Tana Mongeau
It was so good. It Was so good. Are there still tickets left at all?
Meg
Yeah, there's tickets. There's tickets available. Yeah. It's a big theater. I'm not like, that popular to sell out 24 in one.
Tana Mongeau
Can someone fact check this?
Meg
I don't believe there's tickets available. You got nine tickets.
Tana Mongeau
If you're. Oh, my God. That is true. We got nine tickets. If you are in New York, New Yorker, near New York, you have to go see her in Beetlejuice. Like, it was so good.
Meg
One week left. By the time you guys see this, there's one week left and, like, it.
Tana Mongeau
Put me onto Broadway. Like, I want to go see death becomes her. I wanna. I'll wait for a trip where you can come see them with me because I want to see one together. I was like, how fun would this be if she wasn't on stage and.
Meg
Death becomes her Is so fun. It's so fun.
Tana Mongeau
Like, I need it. I liked the. I like how Beetlejuice was funny. I was saying that, like, I don't know how well I would do with a more serious, serious Broadway moment.
Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
Like, because my attention span is.
Meg
Well, serious ones are, like, sad. Yeah. But most of them are fun. Most.
Tana Mongeau
Yeah.
Meg
Broadway musicals are fun.
Tana Mongeau
Like, I can't wait to see more.
Meg
Yeah.

Meg
Yeah.
Tana Mongeau
To Lydia. I was like. I'm like, you know what I mean?
Meg
They're a whole, like, different. Yeah. Broadway's like a whole different, different, like, breed, really. Like, they're just so, like, skilled, like, the fact that they can protect their voices the way, like, even like, Beetlejuice. Justin, who, like, does that voice every night, it's like, how do you talking on the podcast all day? I'm like, my voice is so, like. So I'm like, how do you guys talk and, like, sing at night? Because they did my podcast and they.
Tana Mongeau
Were talking and you have a singing moment.
Meg
I do have a single line. Yeah. Yeah. If you. If you. Like, there's a. There's someone getting, like, grabbed by the shrimp cocktail while I'm singing. So you kind of miss it a.
Tana Mongeau
Little bit, but you might as well have been the only person on the stage to me. I'm not kidding. I saw nothing I else but you. My eyes.
Meg
I was just like, you're giving Moses most. Like, I watch you walk back to the fireplace.
Tana Mongeau
Yes.

In this lively New York–themed episode of Not Loveline, Tana Mongeau and Trish Paytas catch up in NYC, reflecting on career highs, their evolving friendship, stage dreams, and the magic of the city. They share major updates: Trish’s Broadway run in Beetlejuice, Tana’s iconic Adam Sandler encounter, vintage-shopping escapades, luxury bag purchases, audience mobbing, and heartfelt moments that blend genuine gratitude with their signature unfiltered humor.
Attending Trish’s live Broadway performance (Beetlejuice), complete with a squad of nine friends taking up a whole theater row.
Fan stories—Trish gets “mobbed” at Victoria’s Secret in Times Square and recounts being followed around the store by excited fans.
“You might as well have been, like, with Mickey Mouse outside just being on me.” – Tana (29:22)
Both talk about must-see tourist sights and how, despite years in NYC, Tana has never done them (“I’ve never been to the Statue of Liberty… or the Empire State” – 25:58).
Trish expresses immense joy and humility about being in Beetlejuice, describing the thrill of performing, supportive crowds, and even the chaos when worlds collide—social media stardom meets Broadway tradition.
Discussion of understudies and Broadway professionalism, with Tana in awe of the cast (“I don’t remember my Starbucks order!” – 9:53).
Trish’s family and kids join her adventures, making the city feel even more special.
A highlight of the episode, with the emotional retelling of how Tana’s lifelong dream was realized:
Tana, dressed in a “Big Daddy” t-shirt and blue snapback, gets front-row tickets to Adam Sandler’s Vegas show:
Adam throws her a KitKat mid-show—a dramatic, hilarious fan-girl moment:
“He threw a Kit Kat at me. That was my favorite part of the night. I have the KitKat. I’m putting it in a shadow box.” (36:24)
After the show, Tana goes gambling in the same room as Adam—she wins $7,000, and when he leaves, she tells him "Love you Adam," and he replies, "Love you too."
“As he was walking out, I go, ‘Love you, Adam.’ And he goes, 'Love you, too,' and just like, walked away. I love him… It was, like, the best night of my life.” (39:17–40:41)
