Tana Mongeau

For instance, MTV was having these web shows at the time.

Jake, Paul, and Tana Mongeau were getting married on one of those web shows.

So they were weaving that through the VidCon experience as well.

Yeah, I mean, I think on paper, the sale made a ton of sense.

Who's been your favorite guest that you've had on?

[laughs] My favorite guest was Tana Mongeau.

You, yes, shit.

You know about Tana Mongeau?

Wait, Jake Shane is in London.

Right.

Like, in this phase of my life, when I am dopamine-less, I become the person who is hunting for it at every last avenue, and I've gotten a lot better at acknowledging that and, like, curbing it as much as I can, I guess.

The, I guess that brings me to escapism, right? If you can't tell by my digital footprint, Tana Mongeau holds hands with escapism.

I always have, and I always will.

I think that whenever life feels hard for me, I want to run.

But there's a point where it's, like, maybe just a little fun and a little bit of escapism, you know? And another thing that I think I haven't been doing enough, like, over the past few years is, like, pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

I've gotten into this, like, hermit, codependent, borderline agoraphobic era of my life that I never thought I would be in.

You know, like, the Tana Mongeau that existed for maybe 26 years just was outside.

I don't even think she had a home.

So they said, "Creators you love live, For You Fest.

Quinn Blackwell, Owen Thiele, Trixie Mattel, Patrick Ta, Meg Slater, Tana Mongeau, Trisha Paytas, Drew Afualo, Kayla Heron, Wisdom Kaye, Rebecca Black, DJ Set, Madeleine White." And then it had a whole list of creators that included Trisha Paytas, Tony Bravo, who were doing workshops and meet and greets.

Like, this is a stacked lineup.

That's not even all of the people, but, like, that is a stacked lineup.

who she's giving here? What? Pause this for me.

You know who she's giving here? She's giving Tana Mongeau.

Yeah, she is.

She's giving fuck me with a toothbrush.

What is Nick Vile's podcast? Vile Files? I think Vile Files.

I want to hear her with Tana Mongeau.

Okay, let's get canceled back on.

Yeah.

So I love saying that.

[laughs] And I said it, I said it to Tana on that live, and she's like, "I love that, TLDR." [laughs] And I feel- I love the trickle effect of like- I love it.

And then I use it all the time now, and I just feel like you, and I feel like I stole it from you, but that's how friendships work with me.

[laughs] I just steal your verbiage.

... for real.

You guys are the ambassadors of the Topanga Mall.

S- uh, Tana was at Topanga Mall, and she like went-

And ran into Tar-Yummy

I would refer to her for internet culture history.

She would know what Tana Mongeau did in 2011 that was relevant to bring up in a random conversation in 2025.

Absolutely.

Like she's so brilliant in that respect.

[laughs]

... and Tana Mongeau.

You both.

And I love 'cause Flop House with Paige, they're like-
