Speaker 1: This is Take twenty with Mattie and Kenzie Ziegler and
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio Podcast. Hello everyone, welcome back to another
Speaker 1: episode where we are extremely slap happy. Now we're gonna
Speaker 1: hold it together. Um, today we wanted to do another
Speaker 1: Q and A. I think they're so fun and they're
Speaker 1: just like we love reading people's questions and we love
Speaker 1: to answer them. Yeah, so you guys gave us some
Speaker 1: questions and we're gonna try and answer them as best
Speaker 1: as possible. Oh my god, we're can you tell we're
Speaker 1: going crazy? Um? Should we just get into it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You go first, Okay. Um, the first question is tips
Speaker 1: about self confidence. I will try and give as many
Speaker 1: tips as I am also trying to work on this
Speaker 1: and learn this. Um. I don't know if I'll ever
Speaker 1: reach pe self confidence for a long time. It's like
Speaker 1: a long process, but we're on the journey. I think. Um,
Speaker 1: I would say, um something and I know I've talked
Speaker 1: about this, but trying to not compare myself to other
Speaker 1: people on social media is is a huge one and
Speaker 1: something that instead of being like, oh my gosh, they're
Speaker 1: so pretty, I want to look like them, you could
Speaker 1: just stop it as oh my gosh, they're so beautiful.
Speaker 1: Move on. Like, I know it's harder to do, but
Speaker 1: I think, like I think even just like little things
Speaker 1: like for me, I when I'm drinking a lot of water,
Speaker 1: when I'm eating things that make me feel good. If
Speaker 1: I'm internally like loving myself and feeding myself good things,
Speaker 1: then externally I feel like I can see some results
Speaker 1: and not. And I'm not saying like looking like super
Speaker 1: fit and whatever. It's literally just like feeling good. I
Speaker 1: even noticed drinking so much water, my skin looks so
Speaker 1: much better. And then I'm like, oh, I feel good
Speaker 1: about myself because, you know, or even just doing like
Speaker 1: every night before I go to bed, I really take
Speaker 1: time doing my skincare and that's like a form of
Speaker 1: self love and of self care, and so I feel
Speaker 1: like it brings me confidence when I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: taking time to nurture myself. I think for me, it's
Speaker 1: when I like change my hair or like get new
Speaker 1: clothes or like new jewelry or new makeup or something
Speaker 1: like I feel like hype yourself up right. I feel
Speaker 1: like I feel the most confident when I, you know,
Speaker 1: do something kind of like impulsive and like, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, you're like, I did I just did
Speaker 1: that right. I always feel like when I chopped my hair,
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, this is like I'm like a
Speaker 1: new person, Like I feel so free and but like
Speaker 1: I I feel like it depends on the person. Like
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, I feel confident without makeup and I
Speaker 1: like don't want makeup for a week because I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: I feel so good, or like taking baths like is
Speaker 1: really relaxing and like you feel so calm, And I
Speaker 1: would say, like you know, skincare and like kind of
Speaker 1: just taking care of yourself and doing kind of like
Speaker 1: a spa thing always makes you feel great and confident. Totally.
Speaker 1: It's like it's so hard though it really is, but
Speaker 1: I feel like we're all going, especially anyone who's in
Speaker 1: our generation, especially with social media. We it's hard, but
Speaker 1: I feel like we're all on the journey to like
Speaker 1: figuring it out and trying to really take care of
Speaker 1: ourselves and and learn self confidence. Yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: this year is like everyone's year with like fashion and
Speaker 1: like I feel like everyone's kind of finding and just
Speaker 1: doing you and not copying, not trying to be someone
Speaker 1: you're not, just like doing you and embracing all the
Speaker 1: good parts and all the bad parts about your ex um.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, what is your travel must have? Travel must have?
Speaker 1: I mean headphones. Like if I travel without headphones, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a horrible travel day, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Or like I have to buy them at
Speaker 1: the airport. Yeah, always, I hate the ones on the plane, right,
Speaker 1: oh my god. But like I have this playlist that
Speaker 1: I've had for so long. It's literally like five hours
Speaker 1: long because there's so many songs on it, and I
Speaker 1: just shuffle it and I go to sleep and I
Speaker 1: because it's like the airplane noise is really annoying. So
Speaker 1: like when you're listening to music for hours and hours
Speaker 1: and you wake up to the same song, it's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this song has been one. Right, But
Speaker 1: it's definitely like headphones or chapstick. I'm like a sweatcher. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've started like bringing socks, like really nice fuzzy socks
Speaker 1: because the plane is so cold always, right, So I
Speaker 1: feel like that, and like, yeah, headphones for sure. I
Speaker 1: hate when I forget headphones. Yeah, if you don't wear
Speaker 1: headphones on a plane, you're strange. Unless some people just
Speaker 1: like sit in silence on a plane. I can't. I
Speaker 1: will get so bored, or I applaud people who can
Speaker 1: who can fall asleep sitting up straight. No, my feet
Speaker 1: are like I'm like, I'm the guy in here can
Speaker 1: see this? Yeah, or like in the guy next to me,
Speaker 1: I have my knee on his like arm rest. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but I'm not moving exactly. I will
Speaker 1: not move. Yeah, Okay, go ahead. Um. Is it hard
Speaker 1: not living together? No, I think it's I think it's
Speaker 1: made us, um, but our friends. I think, like obviously,
Speaker 1: I'm it's It was so nice sometimes to just like
Speaker 1: go in your room, like if I'm bored on each
Speaker 1: other's room. But now we live so close that literally
Speaker 1: like if I'm like, what are you doing, You're doing nothing.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, I kind of need TELP to something.
Speaker 1: I'll just come over. It's so easy, so we still
Speaker 1: like make it work. I feel like we see each
Speaker 1: other a lot. I think, Um, we keep talking about
Speaker 1: quarantine in these episodes, but I'm just saying, like we
Speaker 1: got really close over quarantine. That's when it was like
Speaker 1: the best time when we live together, because we would
Speaker 1: like work out every night together. We would like play
Speaker 1: games all day, Like we actually had fun. That was
Speaker 1: like the first time we had fun hanging out with
Speaker 1: each other. We didn't have an excuse but to hang
Speaker 1: out with each other, and like our boyfriends would play
Speaker 1: video games and we didn't want to do that, so
Speaker 1: we would like do our own thing exactly. And I think, well,
Speaker 1: we have this plan, We've had this plan for like
Speaker 1: a few years now that like we're going to just
Speaker 1: get an apartment for a year in New York and
Speaker 1: live together. That would be so much fun, which we
Speaker 1: we have to do that sometimes at some point in
Speaker 1: our lives. I think, like in our early twenties for
Speaker 1: a year, that would be so much fun, right, or
Speaker 1: we just get a place out there and then go
Speaker 1: back and forth, but like we have to be responsible. True, Um,
Speaker 1: that's too much work, okay. Um. Do you think you
Speaker 1: were affected by having like a public childhood M Yes
Speaker 1: and no. I feel like I I feel older than
Speaker 1: kids age um, which is good and bad because you know,
Speaker 1: most of my It's good that most of my friends
Speaker 1: are in the industry to where like we're kind of
Speaker 1: all on the same level, but it's harder to hang
Speaker 1: out with kids that are my age so most of
Speaker 1: the time I'm hanging out with older people, which is
Speaker 1: kind of it's like a good thing that where we've
Speaker 1: had to mature quickly, but also it's hard because we can't.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of hard sometimes to hold a conversation
Speaker 1: with someone like our age who doesn't understand our industry,
Speaker 1: because it's like, you don't want to be that. We're
Speaker 1: like when we go home and if we see someone
Speaker 1: we don't want to like talk about work and then
Speaker 1: to have to try and explain it and they're like
Speaker 1: confused by it. It's just like, which is not it's
Speaker 1: totally understandable, but it's kind of like it's just that
Speaker 1: was our childhood and we just don't know anything different,
Speaker 1: and so it's hard to just it's like an unspoken thing, right.
Speaker 1: I think it's It's really nice though, because like where
Speaker 1: we live in Pittsburgh, we have like these three friends
Speaker 1: that have been our friends since neighbors. Yeah, since we
Speaker 1: like one lives across, like two of them live across
Speaker 1: from us, and then one lives two houses down, and
Speaker 1: like we've always been close with them, and it's never
Speaker 1: been weird. It's never been like we've never care about
Speaker 1: our work, like it's it's just really amazing because like
Speaker 1: I love going home and seeing them. But it's like
Speaker 1: when I see people from my old school like around
Speaker 1: because obviously we all live in the same town, like
Speaker 1: it's always awkward and they always are like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: like and it's like weird, and it's just like I've
Speaker 1: known you, Like it's just because I moved doesn't mean
Speaker 1: I'm not the same person that you could when I
Speaker 1: was in second grade. But other than that, like I
Speaker 1: think moving out are sorry moving out? I think like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess leaving Pittsburgh and like being in the public eye,
Speaker 1: I think the only difference is like you don't do
Speaker 1: the normal childhood activities, like you don't go to problem,
Speaker 1: you don't go to perm with my style on a
Speaker 1: lot of but I don't even care that I missed
Speaker 1: out on that, Right, I used to care, and now
Speaker 1: I'm just like everyone says, it's not even It's also
Speaker 1: funny too, because I feel like we'll go to like
Speaker 1: let's say we go out one night here in l A.
Speaker 1: We're like, oh, this is like a form of like
Speaker 1: what we missed out on, right, It's it's funny because
Speaker 1: I've been to like a few like normal I call
Speaker 1: them normal parties because like social media. Yeah, social media
Speaker 1: parties are so different from high school parties, and the
Speaker 1: high school wants are way more fun because everyone's dancing
Speaker 1: everyone like no one cares like, and then you go
Speaker 1: to the social media party and it's like everyone's standing
Speaker 1: in the corn like awkward, awkward and staring at people. Right,
Speaker 1: you know, I miss we missed out on a few things,
Speaker 1: but like, I wouldn't have it any other way. Like,
Speaker 1: I feel like we're very thankful for what we have
Speaker 1: and our life, and you know it's hard, but sorry,
Speaker 1: that's a whole rant. M hm. Out of all of
Speaker 1: the celebrities that you have met, who are you most
Speaker 1: star struck by? That's a good question. Only person I've like,
Speaker 1: genuinely been so star struck over was my favorite. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite drag queens named Naomi Smalls. She came
Speaker 1: to your birthday party. She surprised me for my eighteenth birthday,
Speaker 1: and you were there. You cried. I saw her, and
Speaker 1: I turned around and I went into a different room
Speaker 1: and I started crying, and I could. I really don't
Speaker 1: care about celebrities but drag queens are my everything. They
Speaker 1: are and I think too because to see Naomi in
Speaker 1: the flesh in person, she's over six ft tall, massive,
Speaker 1: like long, perfect legs are insane. I was like, you
Speaker 1: are an angel and I don't know what to say,
Speaker 1: and I'm just in awe, like I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 1: And every time I looked her in the eyes that day,
Speaker 1: like I'd have to look away because I was like,
Speaker 1: this is too much for me. I can't handle this.
Speaker 1: Like we also brew up watching RuPaul's Dry so and
Speaker 1: that's one of my favorite shows. You got me into
Speaker 1: that show and I and that's the scenes you watched
Speaker 1: was nameI remember Bob the Drag Queen and don't even
Speaker 1: get me started. I know, literally it's such a good show.
Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely Bob the Drag Queen. I don't sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever been superstar struck over
Speaker 1: anyone else. I think who When we were younger, we
Speaker 1: got really star struck by Justin Bieberg. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: of course when we were eight. I was six. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I think that was one of the first celebrities
Speaker 1: we ever met. I think we were it was our
Speaker 1: first Red carpet. It was our first red carpet. We
Speaker 1: went to the Kid's Choice Awards Choice Awards and oh
Speaker 1: my god, I like remember this moment. It was so cute.
Speaker 1: It was really cute. So Justin Bieber, he like we
Speaker 1: were waiting for him on the red carpet for like
Speaker 1: the longest time because we knew he was going to
Speaker 1: be there, and all of us girls like we went
Speaker 1: to the Justin Bieber concert like we were, I mean,
Speaker 1: every single girl was in love with him. And he
Speaker 1: walked in and we were literally standing right next to
Speaker 1: him while he was on the red carpet. We're all
Speaker 1: like bawling our eyes out, and then we asked him
Speaker 1: for a photo and his managers like, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: he can't take photos right now. And remember he was like, no, guys,
Speaker 1: come on, come on, And then we were dying and
Speaker 1: I just remember after that, I told Mom I was
Speaker 1: right under his armpit because he were next to him
Speaker 1: writing the photo. So cute. That was cute. But I
Speaker 1: think I think I've talked about this, have I who
Speaker 1: I got stars struck by Dr Phil? I got really
Speaker 1: stars struck by Dr Phil. I don't I don't freak
Speaker 1: out over anyone, like I really just don't. I feel
Speaker 1: like we're all the same person. But for some reason,
Speaker 1: I think Dr Bill is hilarious, and it's it's when
Speaker 1: you watch someone so consistently, like you watch a show.
Speaker 1: I watched Paul Strikers all the time, so it's like
Speaker 1: when you see them in real life, it's actually like crazy. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: because Rachel she Um, we got tickets. It was like
Speaker 1: six in the morning, like Emily and I got up
Speaker 1: so early to go to this thing. But I was
Speaker 1: so excited and I had no idea that I was
Speaker 1: going to meet him. I thought I was just watching
Speaker 1: the show. And so these people from backstage like pulled
Speaker 1: us and like I was back and I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? I thought they were like moving seats,
Speaker 1: like what's happening? And he walks out and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, wait what, Like this is so crazy?
Speaker 1: And he was so nice. He was like, how crazy
Speaker 1: was that episode? Right? It's so crazy, You're gonna love
Speaker 1: the next one. And I'm like, what is happening? I
Speaker 1: told him too. I was like I never get start
Speaker 1: struck over anyone, but there's something about you that you
Speaker 1: just have a special something. It just feels like my
Speaker 1: grandpa that it's really embarrassing. Okay, it's a good one.
Speaker 1: If you could change your name, what would you change
Speaker 1: it to? I know yours. Actually I don't know yours anymore.
Speaker 1: I've literally loved right, you know. I I don't love
Speaker 1: my name, but I just feel like I just don't
Speaker 1: look like anything else. Like I feel like I could
Speaker 1: see you having a really interesting name, yeah, like something
Speaker 1: out of the ordinary. Like Mom gave us pretty basic names. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Maddie Mackenzie is really basic. Oh you remember Mom, you
Speaker 1: were actually named Taylor and you were to Panga. No,
Speaker 1: I wasn't to Panga. That's just like she was going
Speaker 1: to name you to Panga. I would literally like send
Speaker 1: myself because what if someone's listening to this and their
Speaker 1: name is to Panga. No. But for me it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: I think it would look really cute. Literally go home.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start calling you to Taylor. But like it
Speaker 1: was weird because mine I was already born, so it
Speaker 1: would have been Madison and Taylor, and that just is
Speaker 1: not it true. I always forget that your name is
Speaker 1: Madison because you're just Maddie, Like you're I don't call
Speaker 1: you Mackenzie did times on accident and You're like, you
Speaker 1: get so upset. I just I don't know why. I
Speaker 1: just feel like Mackenzie just does not suit me. I
Speaker 1: feel like Ken's or Kenzie is just better. Kenneth Kenneth
Speaker 1: Kenny yah. Um, But honestly, I don't know what do
Speaker 1: I look like to you? Bertha God, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: I don't know you. You are you and that's it. Okay,
Speaker 1: well that was the question. Okay, Um, what app do
Speaker 1: you use the most? Do you think YouTube? Me too?
Speaker 1: Actually I watch YouTube way more than TikTok. I would
Speaker 1: say same, those are my top two? Or like cod mobile? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what does your go to late night? Stack? Frosted flakes?
Speaker 1: Y Cereal is the best cereal at like midnight bebbs
Speaker 1: for me? That yeah, An especially so good with oat milk.
Speaker 1: Who gets excited about me? I was an almond milk
Speaker 1: girl for a long time, an almond milk girl, and
Speaker 1: it really changed my mind. He always got oat milk,
Speaker 1: and I was like, it's just I don't understand, like
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, like it's feel like they all taste
Speaker 1: the same. No. But then I was getting my coffee
Speaker 1: with alme milk forever, and then I tried his and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I think almond milk.
Speaker 1: Oat milk is creamier. It has more of like it
Speaker 1: has like a thinger consistency. Anyway, sounds delicious. Um, what
Speaker 1: is your favorite hairstyle? I knew you were going to
Speaker 1: say that one, and for some reason, because I'm curious.
Speaker 1: I love a good blowout. I love like a nineties blowout.
Speaker 1: It looks really good. Um. I have been doing this
Speaker 1: hairstyle like every day because it really works if you
Speaker 1: have greasy hair on the top but it's still straight exactly.
Speaker 1: So I'll do like my straight hair and then I
Speaker 1: do half a puff down and slick. Your hair is
Speaker 1: so long. Oh my gosh, you're just saying that because
Speaker 1: you've really I know. Um, I think since I um
Speaker 1: cut my hair my favorite couple hairstyle, I can't do anything.
Speaker 1: These are the only things I can do to my hair.
Speaker 1: You can do a bun with a thousand bobby pins
Speaker 1: around it. I do, yeah, a button with a thousand
Speaker 1: bobby pins, and then it takes so long to get
Speaker 1: it out, So sometimes I just sleep in it and
Speaker 1: it's terrible. Um, what should happened last? Saying? Mom washed
Speaker 1: my hair in the sink today? Um, but I think
Speaker 1: I love doing like the twists in my hair or
Speaker 1: like es. Yeah, and I also do half of half
Speaker 1: down like every day with a bun because it looks
Speaker 1: so cute with your hair cut. It looks cute with
Speaker 1: my hair short. And also like, I can't put all
Speaker 1: of my hair up in a bunah unless I like
Speaker 1: slick it with hairs right. But once you go there,
Speaker 1: there's no going back. Yeah, that's the thing. If my
