- I'm drinking cold brew with oatmeal out of a mason jar.
- Same!
Literally same! - No!
(light music)
- Hi Frederica, I miss you!
- Oh my gosh, look at your sweet face.
I show up and you're like, fully beat and I'm just like--
- Your skin is perfect, I don't wanna hear it from you.
You wake up like that.
Know what we're doing?
Commenting each other back and forth?
- [Both] We're being basic as hell.
- The word has evolved with this generation.
Like, you and I's version of basic
was pumpkin spice lattes,
UGG boots. - Yeah!
- Super into "One Tree Hill".
But now this new cool Gen-Z generation
that loves to drag us has evolved the word basic
and I feel like now, me being basic
is me trying to connect with what the kids are doing.
- Yeah.
Being on TikTok and scrolling,
and then being like, wait, so I guess this is a trend.
Okay, I'm gonna try to do it myself.
I've done a TikTok dance or two in my day, okay?
- Basic!
That's basic!
I think we're gonna nail this
and by nail this, I mean, fail at this, right?
- I think it'll be great.
- All right.
How basic are you?
You own a Hydro Flask.
- So I do not.
- I don't own a Hydro Flask, but I do own this,
which is like, a reusable water bottle.
But come on, we're environmentally friendly.
- So the next one is, you wear scrunchies.
- Guilty as hell.
- Yeah, I actually do not.
- Oh my god, you had a yoga instructor change your life.
(laughter) (beep)
She said, "When you come into this space
"take off the backpack of all your stress,
"insecurities and anger.
"And just for an hour, let it sit to the side."
And I was like, huh!
And that did change my life!
(laughter)
The next one is, you love scented candles.
- Yeah!
- With my background alone, you can see one, two.
I have three, four, I have so many around.
- Oh my god, Fred.
- The next one is, you have a favorite brand of oat milk.
Oatly all day, baby! - Oatly!
Oatly just has that thickness
that no other oat milk has. - It's creamy.
- You love Kombucha.
I do not, I don't. - I do.
- It doesn't vibe with my yeast infections.
- You love Timothee Chalamet.
Yes, I do.
- Oh, Timothee!
Timothee Chalamet!
- Yes!
- I would've loved to have someone like this
to crush on when I was younger,
versus a (beep) stereotypical, blonde Barbie.
All right, the next one, you love "Riverdale".
- I do not.
- I love Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse
and all those kids. - So you do.
- I'm gonna hit yes.
Oh my god, this next one, drag me.
(laughter)
- You have a wedding Pinterest board before you're engaged.
- First of all, going for the jugular.
So I actually do not, but I would if that makes sense.
- I'm gonna call myself out,
I have not only a secret Pinterest board for wedding ideas,
I already have lists of people.
Freddie, you know you're a bridesmaid, right?
- I did not, but that makes me very happy. (laughs)
- What do you mean you did not know you were a bridesmaid?
- You follow astrology.
Hardcore.
- Yes, the answer is yes.
- That's like the third question
I ask when I met someone new.
I'm like, what's your sign? - Oh yeah, for sure.
You have an astrological sign tattoo.
So I do not have an astrological sign tattoo.
Oh my gosh!
- So not only do I have a lion for being a Leo,
but last year I got my birth chart tattooed,
and I have a fire sign triangle.
- My first email address did have Gemini in it.
I have Gemini rings, I have shirts, I have merch.
- That counts.
- So I think it counts.
- You've blamed bad things on Mercury being in retrograde.
Yeah, 100%. - Hell yeah.
- Is it the planet or is it like the poison that's in fish?
(Freddie laughs)
Seriously, I don't know, which one is it?
- You love brunch, yes.
- Yeah, I like to eat.
I like (beep) pancakes and hanging out with my friends,
sue me.
You take group photos with the Instax camera.
Everyone has one.
- I don't know what that is.
- I have pictures of you on my Instax.
(Freddie laughs)
You call your group of friends your squad.
(Freddie laughs)
- I don't know why this one takes me out.
Squad up, squad goals, no.
- No, squad down and shut up.
- The next one is, you've been on a juice cleanse.
I have not.
- Oh, I have, guilty, Pressed Juicery.
- You've cried, I need to detox!
- Guilty, I mean, yeah.
- After a weekend of partying,
I'm like, oh, I need to detox this week.
- This next one, I am so proud
that I have lived in Los Angeles for 10 years,
I'm dating a DJ and I've never to Coachella.
- I went a long time ago before it was really a thing.
I'm like a Coachella OG.
You've planned out your outfits
extensively for Coachella or another music festival.
You better check that seven times, Kelsey, because--
- You better check that seven times!
- Your Burning Man outfit situations
and prep and planning are so intense.
- It's fun to dress up as an adult.
It's like, when do you ever get to just
like hoe out a little bit?
Just Halloween?
No.
This one's funny.
You think you're so weird.
(Freddie laughs)
But what if you actually are weird?
- I do, I do.
- I do too.
- I'm such a nerd, oh my god, I'm so weird.
You watch "Love Actually" every year during the winter.
I've never seen that movie.
(Kelsey gasps)
- I watch it for the first time last year,
and it is so cute.
Your favorite color is Fall.
Click it, click it, bitch. - Yes. (laughs)
- Click it.
- And also while I don't have a Pinterest board
to plan for my wedding,
I do know that I wanna get married in the Fall, so--
(laughter)
- You put up Christmas decorations
the moment November 1st hits.
- That is you, that is you!
- It's like, you love Fall and I love lights.
- Your Instagram is just pictures of your pet.
My stories are all Bert.
- That one we're both clicking, 'cause I've got these dogs
that are just on all my pages.
You've posted a throwback photo of yourself on vacation
with the caption, take me back.
(laughter)
- I have to click it.
- I've definitely posted old vacation photos
just as like, I have no content.
I just needed to throw something up
where I look in a bikini.
(Freddie laughs)
- The next one is, you've taken thirst trap photos
on a flamingo pool float.
I feel so attacked.
I can not.
- Did you go to your Instagrams and make this?
I feel like you purposely did this.
Obviously clicked.
Oh, this next one!
You have such a cute little tattoo behind your ear.
- Shady. - Mean.
- I mean, I have little finger tattoos,
like I feel like that's equivalent.
- Yeah, I think you gotta click it.
You gotta click it. - I gotta click it,
'cause it's an equivalent.
So the next one is,
you've said, chicks before dicks and meant it.
- I think I invented that phrase.
- I feel like it's very on brand for you to say that.
I'm not gonna click that one, 'cause I--
- 'Cause Freddie doesn't believe it.
- I don't know if I believe it.
- Freddie will fully leave your ass,
break the other half of the BFF necklace,
and throw it while running to the dick.
- There's no price you wouldn't pay for a great mani-pedi.
Yes. - Mmhmm.
Freddie has them come to her house.
- My mani-pedi situation and nail art, that's my self care,
so I lean into it.
You say, I can't even when maybe you can.
Yes.
- Freddie, that's like your slogan.
- [Freddie] It is.
- Oh, this next one's stupid.
- Yeah, I don't think either of us have done this.
- No, we fart and we're proud.
- Yeah.
- We got stinky butt holes,
we don't give a (beep).
If you can't love me at my stinky farts,
then you can't love me, 'cause I fart a lot.
- Oh yeah, same.
This next one is, you love wearing leggings.
The answer is yes.
I'm wearing a biker short,
which is just leggings in shorts form.
There should be something about cheetah print on this.
Cheetah print is so basic, and I love it.
You've been the sexy version of something for Halloween.
Yes, I have. - Duh.
- I've always wanted to be sexy Where's Waldo,
but have never pulled the trigger on it.
- But Freddie, you're so hot,
like you can't blend in, that's dumb,
that's like the opposite of what you are.
(Freddie laughs)
You love "Keeping Up with the Kardashians".
Freddie, please still be my friend when I check this.
I not only watch it, but I'm super invested
in them as a species.
- I used to watch it all the time.
I do visit their Instagrams every now and then
just to see what's happening.
And also their kids are kind of cute,
so I'm like, all right.
You've made your own jean shorts.
Yes, yes, I have. - Guilty.
Why would I ever waste made-well materials, I would never.
You love the royal family.
I only got invested or even knew what the royal family was
after Meghan Markle.
- Really?
- I don't know the difference between Harry and Ron
or whatever the (beep) his name is.
- Wait.
- Oh my god, that's "Harry Potter".
- That's "Harry Potter"!
- What's the other one's name?
Scott?
Harry and Scott? - It's William.
- Oh my god, I knew it was some basic ass,
British ass, tea ass name.
- I'm gonna have to say yes, I do love them.
But also Princess Di was pretty fire too.
You love talking about loving Chipotle.
- Moe's is so much better.
- I disagree, 1,000%.
- I'm gonna take a stand then and not check this off.
Because Moe's queso--
You call it Chipots.
- No, I don't.
- You want Chipots right now.
I do. - I could.
- I'm gonna click that 'cause that sounds (beep) good.
I'm hungry.
It is lunch time.
- I am mortified at this last one!
- This is a personal, direct hit.
- The sad part about this
is I only have like, six TikToks posted.
Two of them of me dancing in gray sweatpants on TikTok.
- And she looks sexy as (beep).
It's thirst trap extraordinaire.
She knows what she's (beep) doing
with those gray sweatpants.
- Thank you, Kels.
There's a lot checked off.
Like, when I'm scrolling up looking at everything,
I'm like, wow, I checked a lot.
- It says, "You are overwhelming basic.
"It's okay, you like what you like,
"and there's nothing wrong with it."
- Mine is, "Yeah, you like basic (beep).
"But there's a reason why popular things are popular.
"They aren't that bad."
As I look through this list of all the things I've checked,
I stand by everything.
And I'm not ashamed of it.
- Freddie and I wanna know how many did you guys check off.
Please, leave it in the comments
so that I feel better about myself.
Where are all my fellow basics, please?
