Bonus Giggly Hotline: dumpsters, flirting, and nesting

0:15Since I'm back in America, I'm so sorry. Okay, but there's nothing I love more than air conditioning and a Duncan's refresher. Oh my god. One, because there's so much ice and we need ice to live. but it is truly like the perfect cool down. I also, it reminds me of like being a little kid when you're running around the playground and you've never been more thirsty in your life because your parents like forgot about you. Yeah. And then you finally get like a refreshing drink and you're like, that's me with my Dunker Refreshers. Also, I just realized you can like customize them, not me nerding out on my Dunker Refreshers, but I know you like sparkling.

0:53So I got you the sparkling, actually that's cherry peach. You didn't get me the sparkling. You accidentally got sparkling. No, I swear to God. I got you the sparkling. I got me the peach mango. Okay, fine. And then I thought that was mine. Peach mango, yeah. It was a whole thing. We had a whole thing. But we're here. And we're so excited. We're doing these bonus episodes because we love the Collins. Yeah. Like hearing the gigglers' voices and knowing that they're real. We're the new Delilah. What's that reference? Remember when we were little and it was on the radio and it was like, ask Delilah.

1:26And she had like a really soothing voice. I think she's still around. I don't want to like. Oh my God. Hypothetically murder. I never listened to that. I just listened to the fan where they go, what's up? This is Mike Bercurio. Who's calling in from Staten Island? The Mets. We're so different. We're different. No, this is Delilah. Grace picked all the questions that you guys submitted and some gossip. Yeah. So we haven't heard any of the questions and she's going to lay it in on us. She's just going to rapid fire. Okay, let's go with our first. And Chris. Chris is also involved. We give credit where credit is due.

1:57hello hello our first caller hey girls now that Paige is in her single girl summer era I was wondering what your guys's favorite bit is when you're meeting a guy it could be a fake accent a fake life story just anything we love when you commit to a bit I feel like I haven't committed to a bit in a while with like meeting a guy because my life I don't need you because I looked in the mirror because I'm living in truth and that itself has become a bit some girl girls like love the accent thing which honestly it's very freeing um but then like if you start to like him you're like oh no how do we get out of this I've started this off with a lie yes but also keep him on his toes yeah I feel like my bit recently is just like not speaking honestly like people need to learn from your silence yeah less is more were you silenced or silence and i've realized that like dating rules they will come yeah they are mosquitoes we are the flame yeah is that the quote close enough they are moths we are the light they will come honestly that's so true though girls are lights men are moths um but also i my bit is i like to fuck around with the friends when i say fuck around i don't mean like hooking up it's more like it's easier for me to joke around with someone who i'm not physically attracted to yeah so i'm joking i'm joking i'm getting called so if she's talking to you and she's laughing she thinks you're hideous it's so but you ever see those things how many guys are there like And I mean, Hannah had a really good rapport.

3:43She just thought you were butt ugly. Do you know those TikToks where the girl's like me when I'm not attracted to a guy and she's like, hey, nice to see you. How are you? And it's like me when I'm attracted to a guy and you're just mute. Being so weird. And you walk away. So I like, you know, someone's wearing a Yankees jersey. I say something like, you know, you throw in what you know. It's so funny when you say that because I was going to say, you have such good like like, male references that almost, like, hook them because they're like, wait, how does she know that? And you're like, I'm a woman in sports.

4:14I always thought that I was dabbling on pick me because I love sports. Yeah. But that, no, but you love sports. But I use it. Yeah. Wait, first of all, it's true. And I use it for female empowerment. Can't be pick me if it's true. It's true. So when I know about sports, I'm able to get it in with any of the guys and immediately grab their attention. My problem now, obviously I'm not dating, but I find myself, because I do so much crowdwork comedy, if there's a man in my vicinity, I'm like, so what do you do for work? And it starts normal. And then they say something and I'm like, consultant is not a real job.

4:54I know you're making fun of them. And I'm making fun of them. I'm like, what's with this outfit? And they're like, we're at a work dinner. I have to stop myself because that's just where my brain goes and my friends are like, what's going on? Your brain immediately goes to making fun of them. Yeah. I'm the same way. Yes. I'm just like, oh, that was actually so mean. I didn't even mean that. Just about who told you to wear those shoes, you know? Not my problem. Or you're just saying facts. You're not even trying to be funny. You're just like being honest. So I honestly think going in, though, with taking it not seriously when you're dating will take you far.

5:27Because it's not serious. When you take it so serious where after every bad date, you're like walking around the street being like, I'll never find someone, which we've all done. Yeah. but like it's not that serious make it a rom-com not a drama people are dying next question this one grace is gonna read because it was written in i was going into my freshman year of college and my sister and i drove down in one car and my parents followed us in another car fast forward my sister and i arrive at my college my parents finally meet us and my dad says page i'm so sorry but none of the clothes you packed made it here turns out the thing they packed on top of the car opened on the turnpike and all of my clothes fell out all of my clothes just sprinkled all over the turnpike just a few short weeks later not only did I need to break up with my boyfriend I also kindly had to tell him I couldn't return any of his clothing because they blew away are you okay no are you okay no she's like shaking no that I could cry that would bring me to actual I'd have to be committed well first I'd double homicide my mom and my dad they'll go together they'll be fine because there's no self-awareness whatsoever in that car no self not a rearview mirror check at all I'm more concerned that the dad doesn't know how to drive you didn't one time check your mirror and see that something was blowing off the roof of your car Greg taught me that check your mirrors also god forbid a sundress hits the car behind you they can't see it's the whole turnpike explodes like what also I feel like at what point were they like oh shit there's clothes everywhere should we stop and try to get the clothes back or did they just arrive and go that's weird yeah what are the logistics with the parents yeah I feel like there's missing parts to the story and they just maybe they hated your clothes this is something my friends would have done been like oh no all your clothes disappeared no I need to do something nice for this girl because I'm like also like you're a freshman in college do you have do you know how many going out tops she probably ordered oh my god they're all gone well clearly she ordered a lot because they didn't fit in the trunk no this is you going to call this is you going to college so what is the question what does she do I mean you have to move change your name you have to start over good news is that you broke up with your boyfriend yeah so let's yeah let's rejoice for that let's rejoice you're going to college you're single I think you just have to you have to reframe it and you have to think and who what is the style that I want to be in college because you're starting fresh you're starting anew you have to you know what happened to me at a young age I got my first like actual earrings okay I think it was like not Tiffany but it was one of those like it was nice like my first ever like nice pair of earrings and the first day I lost it in the drain.

8:19Of course. And in that moment I said, I don't deserve nice things. And I said, you know what? Happiness does not come from Tiffany's. Materialistic thing. So maybe this was a sign from the universe saying you are still valuable even if you don't have your clothes. You know what my mom says? Don't love anything that can't love you back. And I said, but mom, have you ever seen my vintage Chanel? Get a grip. woman get our friggin grip there is something though about losing things that is so bad like you're like if i lost this from a man to like your wallet you're like i'll never survive and then you realize you do it upsets me because i never lose things so when i do lose something i'm so mad at myself because i'm like this is not you see our family we lose everything every day yeah and there's a freeingness to it because i said where's my torso i don't know and i don't care we lost it we lost it but you know what we have I was gonna say our brains but we don't always have that all the time lose my mind lose your mind so this is a learning lesson for you I'm um message us we'll see if we can we can get you some stuff I need to help her out I think it and but the meat and potatoes of it is you're you're starting a new stylistic journey you're starting a new capsule wardrobe you know look at it that way you're investing in pieces that you actually love and you've gotten rid of all the mishmash that is freeing i love that perspective shift also maybe that high school style is not who you are in college maybe this was like a sign from the they were like hated it reinvent yourself yeah the universe is like we hate the aesthetic sit back who is that dream girl you want to be let's dress like her yeah i feel like your dressing and dressing in general is a form of manifestation totally dress for the job you want that's why I'm wearing a bra outside my shirt okay Grace what do we have next hey Hannah and Paige first off I love you guys I love getting to giggle with you every Tuesday it's my favorite day of the week so my fiance and I just moved in together and he lived alone before I lived with a roommate but I wanted to see what advice y 'all had for people moving in together for the first time what are some things you wish you knew before moving in with boyfriends things you wish you had done anything you've got I want to hear it thanks wait I love her accent I'm the worst person to ask this too you don't ever want to move in with anyone right when it gets to that point even your children I said oh gotta go gotta scram well I famously moved in with a guy from Craigslist and then start dating him and it was like the four of us a classic I love moving in with a guy because you immediately know if this is gonna work yeah because there's so much you can get away with and hide when you're not living with them but then when you live with them like everything's out in the open um my advice is to be super up front about like what you want and what you need because if you don't stand up for yourself like six months in you'll be like I can't believe you do this like yeah I think you have to identify the red flags going into it like if I'm about to move in with someone and he wants like 50 50 space we're probably not long-term partners no like because then that trickles into other things that they like he would want 50 50 and it's just like it's not my vibe no you're right I want a man that like when I'm gonna move in with him he's like I'll burn all my stuff like I don't need to even bring it with me yes yes and I moved into Des's place during COVID and he let me get a dumpster like a full dump truck yeah and I was like we're getting rid of everything we're getting married and and then I literally was like buying candles like it was real nesting it was crazy because I've never bought candles for myself so I don't know who I was trying to be but I do think it's fun to curate a life for you both giving him his little space but you also get to see like Like, does he enjoy you, like, styling things?

12:28Yeah. You really do bond in a way. Yeah. It's beautiful. Or you start to want to murder each other. I think the signs are there. You just have to, like, trust them. Some things to anticipate. Temperatures. Do you like to sleep in a freezing icebox like me? Mm-hmm. Or do you like it, like, lukewarm like Des, who's crazy, but he loves me, so he lets me do icebox. doesn't make a comment every time he goes to bed and goes hey i wanted to walt disney myself tonight yeah you're like here's an extra blanket we're having fun does he go to sleep with a hoodie on sometimes yes i don't give a reframing perspective exactly that's what this episode's about also the toothpaste these are things that you'd never think of when you meet a guy is he pushing from the bottom yeah is he pushing from the top is he after he puts it on is he getting rid of the extra stuff on the top and putting it back together or not?

13:24Yeah. Is he putting it back in the drawer? Yeah. Is he leaving it out? These are things that cause divorce. Yeah. It's the day-to-day little things. You tell me that. When he shaves his face. Does he rinse the sink out? Does he try and it just, it was too difficult for him? Where does he leave his shoes? Does he leave it in a place where you could tear your ACL? Have you seen that thing on TikTok where it's like men doing like weaponized incompetence? No. Where, like, if you ask a guy to do something and he, like, purposely does it bad or, like, wrong because he doesn't want to actually do it.

13:54But it's, like, the easiest thing ever. And it's, like, little things, like, living together where it's, like, can you just, like, put your towel in the thing? It's like, I don't know. Like, you do it so much better. Okay. And, like, that I can't. That's me with my mom. Right. Because she birthed you. You came out of her womb. No, but also moms are, like, amazing. No, but that's, like, what it is. It's, like, you want a mom. Like, I'm not your mom. Exactly. So like I feel like going into it, you know if your boyfriend is like that and that's I could never do. Not saying like, oh, I wouldn't like pick up after him like once in a while.

14:25But like I'm not for high. I'm not your maid. I also will do that to him just to let him know. That's 50-50. Yeah, that I'm not your maid, you know. Like, oh, you want me to make coffee? It's going to be bad. But what's funny is I'm pretty bad with like making the bed nice. Yeah. Like I just convinced myself like I can't do it. But then my friends were visiting last weekend and I need to make the bed. And all of a sudden you were Martha Stewart. I took like 20 minutes making this bed and I was like smoothing out every single. You were all of a sudden like in the Navy. And he was like, you've never.

14:59Yeah. You're like, I could bounce a quarter off this thing. You like ironed the sheath. He was like, who did this? And I was like, I don't know. A fairy. Yeah. But don't look for me to do it again. Oh, side note. I got green tea in mine in my Dunkin' Refresher. Okay. You can get green tea as an option. You could get lemonade. You could get sparkling. It's actually really nice. And I really am into the peach mango right now. Yeah. I also got less concentrate because I don't always like it too sweet. And Paige is the peach cherry with sparkling.

The idea of going makes me want to throw up, but my best friend is going and I'll already be home visiting my parents that weekend. So I'm out of excuses. Do I go? Do I lean in? Or do I stay far, far away and let the past stay in 2015 where it belongs?
