Giggling about bikinis, road tests, and cheerleading

In short

The hosts trade giggly stories about fashion and social media while traveling, then pivot to real-life stressors: a driver’s ed/road test lesson and parallel-parking anxiety. They also discuss “Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” (season 2) and cheerleading culture, plus a recap of their own aerial yoga episode.

Guests

No guests appear in the transcript. The “guests” mentioned are people in the hosts’ stories (e.g., a Gucci personal shopper in Italy; Brad Pitt; their driver’s ed instructor Greg; and characters/figures from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders documentary).

Guest backgrounds (mentioned)

Greg is a driver’s ed teacher (former cop) nearing retirement after 25 years. Brad Pitt is an A-list actor. “Margarita” is a Gucci personal shopper in Capri/Italy.

Key claims

Social media can make people post less or “disappear” while traveling; celebrity sightings feel different now due to fame saturation. Cheerleading is portrayed as professional dance with pay/management politics and subjective judging. Road tests feel like being graded by “powerful” examiners.

Notable examples

Time Square event where Brad Pitt kissed babies and shook hands; aerial yoga being filmed out of chronological order; driver’s permit expiring in August; cheerleaders fighting for more pay and being “phased out” after speaking up.

1:00Hannah Berner: Okay, autumn in New York is the season where we can finally start dressing again. Every single thing is an excuse to put on a look. Going to work? Outfit. Leading a meeting? Outfit. Getting drinks with your friends? Obviously, outfit. And as we all know, every great outfit starts from the feet up. That is why I'm currently obsessed with alleys from Sam Edelman. They're a ballet flat, but a little something extra for fall. A contrasting velvet cap toe, I have them in this gorgeous azure blue, which is like a dusty muted blue that somehow goes with everything even Daphne's eyes they're so cute and I'm already envisioning my next outfit straight leg jeans and oversized blazer and a little shoulder bag very I just threw this on when we all know I absolutely did not and Hannah is loving hers too she has the Michaela which is the Sam Edelman's take on a Mary Jane and this season it comes in the chicest leopard so gorge so easy and exactly the kind of shoe that makes an otherwise basic outfit look like you actually tried.

1:56Hannah Berner: And there's so much more coming from Sam Edelman this fall beyond these two, like the new Tegan and Tallulah pumps, plus ready-to-wear handbags, fragrances, and even a new men's collection. So basically, you can make sure both you and your man are looking good for date night because we're not doing all that getting dressed just to let him show up in a t-shirt.

3:20Paige DeSorbo: only people that should be contacting my phone also i downloaded whatsapp but i thought i wasn't getting notifications so i just missed everyone's text for like a year and honestly it was quite nice me too i thought it was spam like when i get an alert i'd be like what the fuck is whatsapp I was like report block. I was like, well, also because it's green. So I was like, ew, get out of here. I'm like, please stop texting this number.

7:01Hannah Berner: celebrity he's larger than life well here's the other thing also like you grew up in new york city but like even like living in new york city it's obviously not weird to like see a celebrity on the street but there are like certain celebrities that if you do see them out in the wild like you get starstruck like I'll never forget the time the first like the first time I saw Leonardo DiCaprio like my body physically didn't move like I couldn't move you go limp yeah I was like wait but that's Leonardo DiCaprio like that's crazy and that's like I feel like that's dwindling like that level of well social media changed that look at us just talking about the world and the state it's in in social media but everyone's famous now everyone's famous arguably people who are less famous are more famous than the famous people hannah yes and do you want to know what i actually

8:01Paige DeSorbo: had a thought i actually we never pause when we're talking so if when you pause i know that shit hit you're like wait stop everyone stop it's so true because you know who i think about all the

8:13Hannah Berner: time mary kate and ashley want to know why because we never see them and i actually had a thought where i was like maybe in italy i'm not going to post anything oh don't tempt me don't tempt me with a good time i'm like what if i just don't show any of my outfits and i really actually

8:30Paige DeSorbo: unplug i'm on the in this place with social media where i'm either like let's go harder or like let's completely disappear i'm in this place with social media specifically on tiktok

22:26Hannah Berner: And that feeling is Sol de Janeiro's new intense perfume mist. For the ones who can't get enough, it's inspired by Rio's Golden Hour.

22:51Hannah Berner: And trust me, you're going to want to visit your nearest Ulta store or Ulta.com to shop Sol de Janeiro's new Intense Perfumist. Okay, back to my cults. oh yeah did you watch the first season of the dallas cowboy cheerleaders did you ever end up watching that first season no you didn't okay so the second season came out just so many thoughts did you ever watch it when it was on cmt like years ago it was a different name it was just so not up my alley yeah and i always got i always felt like bad for them and i felt like they were over sexualized and i just didn't like it the show that used to be on television i can't even think what year that had to have i mean that had to have been like 2005 or like in that time range like early 2000s it was diabolical never be able to be on tv today like it they'd get canceled immediately yeah so the documentary is a little bit different but there's still women of a certain age in the south so like they're still they're still saying things without saying them like they've changed they've changed from calling a girl fat to just being like and she's full of life you know i'm like we i i think we know what you what you mean here like this is oh for sure an hr violation like it's she's like they're they're like she's wait can we all next time you want to say you feel fat can you just say i feel full of life today okay i feel chock full of life um god bless her she is full of life so i'm watching there's like eight episodes probably this season was like by far not even close to as good as like the first season was because the girls are getting paid now well they didn't okay well they didn't get paid that's the whole lore they didn't get that payment change till like after they were done filming so there's like a group of maybe like five girls that are like hey we're gonna ask the Dallas Cowboys for more money the Dallas Cowboys are like one of the most successful franchises in all of the NFL like if any team has the money to pay

25:08Paige DeSorbo: these girls it's the Dallas Cowboys yeah a guy sitting on the bench is getting paid 20 million

25:13Hannah Berner: dollars right I'm gonna do a bunch of spoilers this group of girls like five of them are really fighting for the girls to get paid more. One girl who's basically at like the forefront of it, her name, what was her name? Amanda, I want to say. She's fighting for it. Then the two coaches, which we'll get into them, have this conversation with her, gaslight the fuck out of her because they stopped booking her because the girls go on different like appearances and the whole 36 six teammates don't all go to every appearance so they'll pick like 10 to go perform somewhere and like another 10 she stopped like getting booked for like the appearances and so she goes in to talk to them like is this because i'm fighting for like the girls to have more money and mind you it's her last year so like she doesn't actually have to be fighting for this and she says that like i know this isn't going to affect me for the future of these women and their lives she's like but i know this is going to affect the girls younger than me and the girls younger than her don't want to fight because they're like we just made the team like we're not trying to yeah they're scared they basically phase this girl out of the show her the other girls that were like fighting with her kind of like go silent and she's like them fighting for more pay a storyline kind of yeah okay but the two coaches aren't involved like they don't go to the coaches first they go to like the board of whatever and basically the board is like fuck you guys like you don't like it like leave you don't want like you don't care about the whole

26:50Paige DeSorbo: thing is there's tons of women that would love to be right in your spot shaking their little tails

26:55Hannah Berner: yeah and it's like okay well that doesn't make it correct because mind you the rockettes uh normal living wage they have benefits i think like they're like a nor they're treated as a professional dancer so like they do compare it to the rock cats a lot and these girls are as talented oh no yeah these girls like i think dallas cowboy i think they get kind of like a bad not i don't even want to say a bad rep because they're called cheerleader these are professional dancers like professional dancers yeah they're not cheerleaders in the sense of like they're throwing stunts up in the air and going to cheer competitions like they're professional dancers can i just say what we're all thinking the reason why i don't like cheerleading is because of the core

27:41Paige DeSorbo: root of it which is that it's a bunch of women rooting for men okay first of all as a cheerleader as a former you're literally giving them the attention and cheering them on like that's your

27:55Hannah Berner: As a former captain of the varsity cheerleading squad, I resent that issue. I resent it wholeheartedly. No, okay, yes, that's the core of it. But like, okay, a perfect example is like when I was in high school, I am exactly what you were describing. I joined the cheerleading team because I knew that Fridays you got out of school early and you went and you had dinner at the boys' school. And all I wanted to do was show up in my school uniform to the boys school and look at them like during dinner and like male gaze it's so male gaze yeah i was i was so boy crazy did i give a fuck about like cheerleading not really but then once i was like on the team yeah then you have that like team camaraderie and like also girls are like

28:44Paige DeSorbo: breaking legs and shit like it's kind of crazy right i mean the stunts are actually like i have

28:49Hannah Berner: been dropped on my head so many fucking times we can tell but i but i had girls on my team specifically that like cheerleading was their life like they were on all-star teams and all

29:02Paige DeSorbo: they did was compete see the espn competitions i fuck with like that was insane i loved it

29:08Hannah Berner: but they're not cheering for men anywhere they're just competing against each other so like and some of the things these cheerleaders do like it's insane like they're gymnasts they're gymnasts and they're dancers they're triple threats like I watch the cheerleading competitions on TikTok all the time because they're just so good anyway I forget what my original thought was but because you just like you got really you came for cheerleading you got really mad because I came for

29:34Paige DeSorbo: all that you stand for my one organized sport and you're like it's a joke and I'm like but we're

29:39Hannah Berner: we wear eyeshadow I like another sport where they wear I I don't like when they're like and you

29:44Paige DeSorbo: girls are just gonna tell the men that they're gonna do well tonight and even when they're losing you believe in them no i think the cheerleaders should leave if the guys are doing bad they're

29:53Hannah Berner: like i don't get paid enough for this honestly no one like when you're at cheerleading practice no one's talking about the guys it's your practicing it's your show you're practicing because then you're going to perform at halftime but that performance is what you're going to competitions with so you're really just practicing what you're going to go to competition with got

30:14Paige DeSorbo: it what if it was cheerleaders performing and men playing catch on the sides i think that they at

30:21Hannah Berner: cheer competitions men should be going and cheering them on like it's yeah i think the football team

30:27Paige DeSorbo: should cheer on the cheerleading team they absolutely should i like the cheerleaders because they would train with the mascots in college so we would all hang out but um they were all so talented but they were look it was a different breed in wisconsin these girls were cold these were not dallas these were not the florida girls these girls i hate to say it they were pale they were pale and they were freezing their no hannah when i was in high school there

30:54Hannah Berner: was like a cheerleader magazine that i subscribed to oh my god like when you would go to cheerleading camp it was like we would go to cheerleading camp and then it would be all the surrounding schools cheerleading teams and so then you would like compete at cheerleading camp it was cheerleading

31:14Paige DeSorbo: camp was like some of the best moments of my life but we talked about when I went to one of my high schools the cheerleading team was like cool but like if you gave a good blow job you were on the dance team yeah when the dance girls came out I was like they're 24 years old no because the dance he had swag because the dance team i will never forget these i was like a freshman these girls came out they're wearing they're like folded over yoga pants you know and like tiny little shirts and sierra my goodies comes on and i was like yeah this is the coolest thing i've ever seen

31:53Hannah Berner: it was the first time you were introduced to like that slutty like that am i allowed to pop

32:01Paige DeSorbo: that thing like that and all their hair was so straight like everyone here was straight in with the little bang what who knew it was a time to be alive no cheerleading is really like it's a lost art um but anyway yeah dcc is like so it's their second season now and the two coaches

32:21Hannah Berner: i forget honestly what their names even are it's like one is like the choreographer they've all they've both been there for like a thousand years can i guess their names sherry ann honestly yeah i think so and lisa like literally yes here's the thing about these women and like they do seem like fine in like if you were to meet them i don't think they'd like beat you over the head like i think they'd be very cordial but like they would be annoying in a grocery line no this type of woman actually scares the shit out of me and I and like I'm not trying to come for the south of whatsoever but I feel like I have been around this type of woman before and it's and it's like they're so nice to you when you're talking to them yeah and then you leave the room and you're like I think they just insulted my entire existence yeah like and I didn't even realize it in that conversation yeah one of the girls that they like didn't let make the team they knew her mom for like 40 years like she worked with them every day and then like when they cut her daughter they just like never spoke to this woman again like they they were like basically the woman was like yeah I mean she was like in my wedding so but I can't like put her daughter on the team and it's like okay yeah she's not gonna like take a spot from someone who's more qualified but I would argue

33:47Paige DeSorbo: that aren't a lot of the girls super qualified and it comes down to some like subjective opinions they're all extremely qualified and she'll be like i don't like how her toe didn't point well

33:59Hannah Berner: the way they like act like this is the best thing these women are ever going to do in their lives is like really uncomfortable especially when all these girls are like i work four jobs and then I go to like go to practice.

34:17Paige DeSorbo: Also let's be honest it's like this experience we're all watching them do on tv right now they're going to talk about in therapy for the rest of their life. For the rest of their life. Is it important in that way? Yes you're traumatizing her.

34:29Hannah Berner: But then this season you saw a lot more of like the the girls husbands and boyfriends and let me just tell you it was jarring. It was so jarring because not only are these women some of the most beautiful women like you'll ever see in your life but they're talented they're dancer like they're driven hustlers they're working a thousand jobs they're trying to make ends meet and then these men pop up on the screen and you're like and then they're sorry i'm sorry is this i'm sorry does is something wrong like are you doing a chair like what's

35:02Paige DeSorbo: going on i don't mean to stereotype but it is proven that like in the south people do settle down earlier so sometimes i'll see a guy and be like how the fuck did he get her and i'm

35:12Hannah Berner: like wait was he in his prime in college no they scared them they scared them into it they scared them into it you have five minutes no you you literally have five minutes and so one of the part one of the things one of the girls said was she was like i feel bad for my other teammates because they're trying to like live off of this money and she's like but i have a husband and so in my head I'm just like wait guys like you're stressing me out I was getting so stressed watching it because I was like how are they handling all of it and then not only do they have to show up and wear the teeniest tiniest outfits like they have to be perfect at everything or they get like the one girl broke a rule and the rule was she let a man into her hotel room And I'm like, guys, I thought you were going to come out and say she drugged everyone.

36:07Hannah Berner: I don't know why I went there. Like, she like, they're on vacation. She like got drugs and made everyone do it. I was like, OK, maybe like not the best thing. Ketamine. Like, not the best thing to do. But again, you're in the Bahamas. Look, she needed a release. She's stressed. But then they were like, and she let a man into the room. And I'm like.

36:25Paige DeSorbo: Also, who snitched on her? That's not cool.

36:27Hannah Berner: I'm like, OK. like it's just very it's just i think also i think i have like ptsd because i feel like being from the northeast women get such a like rep of like you're cold you're harsh you're mean where like the south it's like they're so nice they're so like whatever and it's like but not even like no it's just there's assholes everywhere you go is what i like to say there's

36:55Paige DeSorbo: Assholes everywhere and some of them are in sheep's clothing.

36:59Hannah Berner: It's crazy. But I just feel like in the Northeast, it's like if you don't like someone, that person knows you don't like them. We're down there. It's like you could think that's your best friend and they fucking hate you. Like that's the difference.

37:11Paige DeSorbo: That's so scary. But it is like a different language that like they can read where like other people can't. It also is so interesting. People being like good at things.

37:22Hannah Berner: Yeah.

37:22Paige DeSorbo: like i would be so bad at being a dallas cowboys cheerleader not so bad i definitely wasn't asked but i i'd be so bad for so many reasons like when i was on the tennis team i would get in trouble because they would tell us like what we had to wear for every practice and every competition as a part of now i see it's like a team thing where with me i was like it's a miracle i made it here on time you also want me to be wearing the red and the black shorts like i still have nightmares and there's a photo that's really funny one of our first competitions everyone's wearing their red track suit and I'm in my gray track suit and for sure got in trouble how to wake up at 7 a.m and like do the bike for it but like in my head like I couldn't grasp why the coach was so frustrated about that I'm like I won like why are you mad I wanted sorry I don't like how the tag on the red sweatsuit feels on me I'm wearing the gray I think one of the reasons that we're best friends

38:17Hannah Berner: and because there's so many things where we're like we have different interests or things we like but like our core values like you can't tell us what to do or we physically we physically combust like we're like oh the you want me to wear the red perfect that's like where we bond

38:37Paige DeSorbo: this is how we bond i'll text you during the day and be like can we not do this the way they want us to do it and you go absolutely not and then i'm like at peace with myself well because sometimes

38:47Hannah Berner: also and this is just a reminder for the girls sometimes we have to remind ourselves that we are the adults also true like and we can say no and we don't have to listen to like you don't have to listen to everything people tell you to do as michelle obama said no is a full sentence

39:04Paige DeSorbo: and also what i've learned from being around page from following page around is that people actually like respect the person more who has boundaries because we'll be in a place i've seen before where like i'm like sucking up like being over the top like trying to like be nice to someone i know exactly the time you're talking about i don't even this i couldn't even put a finger this is how we are and page will just be very like to the point and matter of fact and i could see that they like want page's attention more than mine when i'm like i've been fucking listening to all your stories all day and that kind of thing yeah but it's it's just

39:42Hannah Berner: unnecessary effort because also i think another thing that we're similar we don't care who you are or what you've done we don't care like we don't care i just don't want you to like it doesn't

39:57Paige DeSorbo: impress us no we're not impressed we don't care about those superficial things we like people who funny what you've accomplished has nothing to do with me and also like i'm not i'm not sucking up

40:11Hannah Berner: to you because you what you own where we're standing i don't care i don't give a fuck i don't care i literally i don't care and if you're a man oh i double don't give a fuck i do not give a

43:57Paige DeSorbo: i wanted to tell you this is why i've been stressed yesterday we had a very different day page was flying to italy yeah and i was getting driven to riverhead to take a driver's lesson with i've been waiting to hear how this went shout out greg poor greg he's about to retire and he's one step out the door from his 25 years of teaching i think that's a requirement as a driver ed teacher you have to be on death's door and he's so used this former cop and he walks in he's like i'm about to retire i go i'm your last i'm your last lesson okay like i'm i'm the last challenge i'm your final marvel stone literally i'm like if you can get me to pass my road test like you can do anything monuments will be erected in your honor sir okay there's a whole group of girls rooting for you i don't know what it was i swear to god when des was driving me to this lesson i became a teenager again like immediately i was like i don't want to do this i was like i don't want to do this and he's like you have to get your fucking license i was like he he's gonna be disappointed i'm gonna mess it up everyone's gonna be mad at me i don't think you're in

45:10Hannah Berner: were you in were you in a driver ed car where like he also has a steering wheel yes but first des was driving me and look it was also confusing because des in england in england and ireland

45:25Paige DeSorbo: apparently they like turn different whatever longs are short it's fucking confusing but greg was so peaceful and calm and understanding in ireland are they driving on the other side of the road they drive on the other side and also he told me that like you're not supposed to cross your hands

45:41Hannah Berner: when turning you're supposed to feed you're not supposed to over oversteer can get you in a bad

45:47Paige DeSorbo: accident yeah but then this guy was like you're allowed to cross your hands just like the right way so i'm dealing with i'm learning a lot right now but greg was really calm and he was like so what's your story and i was like we don't have time we don't have time greg but i fred let's focus on the task we don't have time for the shit you're like actually i have a new hour if you could

46:09Hannah Berner: just stay for one minute let me try this out on you i actually have some new jokes that i'm working

46:13Paige DeSorbo: on i want to test with you but i i realized that my learners permit expired expires in august so we

46:24Hannah Berner: are in the trenches right now no pressure you've literally put your relaxing summer in a time crunch so what you have to schedule your road test before your permit expires i scheduled i

46:35Paige DeSorbo: first of all i also want to apologize to the academy for anyone i'm stressing out with this right now because giggly squat's supposed to be so peaceful but like i have to trauma dump on you

46:43Hannah Berner: guys right now no this is my therapy go put it in the book honey i had to take a five hour

46:51Paige DeSorbo: driving class online i did that the other day also don't be jealous okay and if i don't pass the test by august then i have to like restart everything restart everything so hannah coded i'm so i'm literally so scared and then i go to do a test to set up my road test and it turns out every kid in the summer is trying to get their road I have to drive to Westchester to do it oh no I know my god but then someone said to keep checking long story short like I'm I'm so upset and stressed but now I'm trying to have a different approach I'm like let's

47:33Hannah Berner: okay and what was your experience in the driver ed car like how did you how did you feel

47:39Paige DeSorbo: well honestly greg just had honestly he was awesome like i love greg and he made me feel calm but it was kind of nerve-wracking because he kept asking me questions and you could tell he couldn't tell yet if i was gonna be good or bad and like neither could i i'll tell you that right now yeah and then he was like okay it's your turn and like i honestly am getting like anxiety that i'd have like in my teens yeah where you're like i don't know what's gonna happen i'm scared and i'm like being forced to do this and you know why let me give let me give you some

48:10Hannah Berner: encouragement as someone who also took driver's ed in high school um it was honestly one of the best experiences because in high school we would do it like after school and it'd be like four girls in one car so like it would kind of be funny dangerous but so dangerous i was they're like we're singing we're smoking weed crossroads lady gaga had just like come out with an album I'm like what are we to do um road trip I was by far the worst in my car like like every time I got in the driver's seat like my driver ed teacher was like I just need to let you know you will not pass you're not passing your road test and I would just like I took that as a suggestion okay again I was

48:55Paige DeSorbo: like that you were like to my haters who don't believe in me literally I was like okay first of

48:59Hannah Berner: all i don't work for you second of all you're just pouring gasoline and i'm about to light shit up i'm like you've never seen my charm in action and i did pass my road test when he said i wasn't going to so i truly think it depends on where you take your road test have you looked because the kids talk have you looked online like is westchester hard i searched right yeah

49:22Paige DeSorbo: and they said riverhead is one of the easiest ones and i failed riverhead so that we're starting who knows where to begin yeah did i did i already make an announcement on the pod saying i don't want to do anything illegal but if there is a giggler who happens to be to work out of the that would be really just convenient nothing illegal but like can i talk to you for a sec um i also i passed my road test once but i shouldn't have passed it because she was like okay park and to finish the road test and i ran the curb but she already like printed out the receipt that i passed and she was like jesus christ and my dad was like you shouldn't pass

49:58Hannah Berner: yeah hitting the curb i think is an automatic fail yeah no like i shouldn't have passed it so

50:03Paige DeSorbo: i had no confidence but also i didn't have driver's ed because i'm a city freak so no one knows how to drive but anyway i'm fully committing i'm putting this out there into the universe of giggly squad so that like you guys could send me any guidance for like how to parallel park or something dare

50:20Hannah Berner: dare we ask like the exact date or like would that stress you out too much or like should we be manifesting for this like specific date true i love how you're like we can get a lot of power and a lot of gigglers like no we the floor is yours the girls are listening the girls are listening let's go let's combine our powers which is already yeah i might i'm trying to find an

50:40Paige DeSorbo: earlier date but right now it's in july so it might change but i'll keep you guys posted but also i'm now committed now to be a student of the game like this isn't about winning or losing this is about the process this is about the journey and I want to be one with the car I'm okay in a complete in perspective I'm not here to win I'm here to to let the car guide you yep yes let the car guide me through life and I have no fear and I love driving can I ask what is your least favorite

51:11Hannah Berner: thing that you're trying to like master and what is the thing that you're like I got I can do this

51:17Paige DeSorbo: one to be honest like i like driving i don't like the idea of sitting down and a person watching you and grading you and i low-key feel like it's rooting against me yeah like i feel like they don't want me to succeed in life and i'm like and they they love that power well they there's a lot of power in their position so much fucking power and also like let's be honest i'm a woman i'm a

51:40Hannah Berner: woman who can't drive they're literally club bouncers of the government you know like it's like okay dude you could be fired at any time but also like you do hold a lot of power in this exact

51:49Paige DeSorbo: moment is their job important a thousand percent and should i be on the road absolutely not but i'm actually training i love i'm talking about training like i saw coco goff wrote i'm gonna win i will win the french open like 500 times in her notebook so i'm gonna write i will pass my road test because it's like the same thing i'm gonna write honestly talking about cheerleading

52:12Hannah Berner: camp and road test this episode is just like it's stressful but i also feel like it explains i don't

52:19Paige DeSorbo: like following the rules so a road test is literally can you follow every rule and every cell inside me wants to be like like like just like how are your how are your three-point turns honestly like they're fine it's just i don't know like should i be going faster should i be going slower like i just feel like i'm not good enough i'm not good enough are you are you parallel parking a parallel park today but whenever i do it i feel like it's luck

52:45Hannah Berner: yeah like i'm gonna be i haven't parallel parked since my road test yeah i couldn't if someone told

52:51Paige DeSorbo: me to parallel park right now i wouldn't go wait side note um one summer house memory i do have to say was early on our first season i remember like everyone else was like getting into like storylines and fights and like i had nothing going on and then someone you know what i'm gonna say i don't remember who it was but it was jordan it was jordan it was jordan but other people were like having his back at first and he was like side note fucking hannah never drives every weekend everyone drives but hannah and i start looking around and someone else is like actually yeah you never fucking drive and I go I don't even have my license and they're like still it's not fair you don't drive and I remember you jumped in and you were like do you all want to die

53:44Hannah Berner: this is a perfect example of how things went so Hannah coded or so page coded because in this exact I remember this like it was literally yesterday in this exact fight everyone's attacking you for never having driven to the Hamptons any weekend of the summer and I'm like first of all she's incompetent she doesn't have a license second of all I had also never driven a weekend and no one picked up on it and you totally have a license I had a license at that point for almost

54:15Paige DeSorbo: 15 years and I remember having to defend myself for not driving when I didn't have a driver's license a four-hour drive to the Hamptons through highways okay I'm I'm gonna be honest the only man

54:28Hannah Berner: that I ever listened to is my father and when he heard that I was going to have to drive to the Hamptons every weekend he said I don't give a fuck you are not driving on the LIE at rush hour on a Friday I don't care if you're a good driver I know you're not you're not doing like you'll kill everyone in the car including yourself sorry i care about safety and he was a hundred percent right actually i actually can't believe legally that that's even allowed driving out to the

55:01Paige DeSorbo: hamptons was so stressful because you were thinking about like okay what happened this last weekend what am i gonna say like it was it was like a scary mental thing and traffic isn't

55:10Hannah Berner: good for your mental health no the long island expressway is like literally one of the most dangerous fucking highways i feel like in the country it's like four it's four lanes it's it goes fast as fuck like if you're not alert driving to the hamptons you're getting in an accident like you have to fully be present when you're driving also the cars we were driving were huge and i

55:32Paige DeSorbo: don't know a lot about driving but it's like unless you have a trucker's license i don't feel

55:36Hannah Berner: like you'll be that comfortable no i was it took me years to be to be like okay i'll drive because I was so scared.

55:43Paige DeSorbo: Side note, I'm drinking my Dunkin' Ice refresher and I just have to say I nailed it with the flavor. What? Yeah. What one is that? Mango pineapple lemonade. That's the one. I've been sipping it the whole time.

55:55Hannah Berner: Okay. I need to get that. I love anything like mixed with a lemonade.

55:58Paige DeSorbo: Can I add one other thing to the docket?

56:00Hannah Berner: Yeah.

56:01Paige DeSorbo: Why is the most organized our society has ever been when there's a lookalike contest in new york city when and why did this take off

56:16Hannah Berner: and also should we do one at the next giggly squad live i love it but i just don't understand that new york also why is it all men are they trying to cure the male loneliness epidemic with each other because like yeah we're trying to put we are trying to push you guys toward each other the last time a girl

56:36Paige DeSorbo: said she looked like megan fox she was stoned no

56:46Paige DeSorbo: no that poor woman was like shredded look alike girls are like i'll pass i'll pass on this i'm blonde but i'll pass no that's people are you just like hit something about our society though you can't do it with the girls because people be so mean to the women they'd be like really

57:06Hannah Berner: you think you look like her could you imagine someone hosting like a sabrina carpenter look alike contest they'd be annihilated they also would be so tiny for this look alike stuff

57:19Paige DeSorbo: it's chaos in this world yeah you can't you can't even do it when they organize a look-alike contest everyone is calm and there's a system and there's a ranking and there's voting there's no fraud there's no fake news it's just this is the look-alike contest they follow the rules they

57:38Hannah Berner: follow the rules they always pick the right person there's there's no politics no bias if anyone ever comments on any of my instagram pictures like oh my god you look like so and so there's always a comment underneath from a woman that's like don't ever insult audrey heppard who is class and elegance with this piece of literal truth i'm like whoa wait actually you know what i get tagged in a lot and people are like i thought this was you which is so on theme for this episode a lot of dance videos like there i think there is this one dancer that looks like you and she's phenomenal and i'm like i every time i want I'm like I wish this was me and which brings me actually to my next point I think for one of the things for like now I'm like brainstorming for Hannah and Paige trying new things next year or whenever we do it I think that we should learn a like a legitimate dance routine and do it on stage no do it why would you learn it for the satisfaction of learning it and recording it

58:40Paige DeSorbo: Oh, babe, I do it to perform. When we first started, I was like, should we do a dance at the end? And you were like, never fucking bring that up again. I swear to God. And I never have.

58:52Hannah Berner: I'm never going out. If you've never been to Giggly Squad Live, you should come because it's such a vibe. But just know this. I will never sing, dance, or do anything theatrical.

59:04Paige DeSorbo: That's what you say. But also you said you would never get a cat. And look where you are now.

59:08Hannah Berner: Okay, you started this episode with my boundaries. and how proud you were of me. So let me have my boundaries.

59:17Paige DeSorbo: One thing about dancers, though. Yeah. I, like, am currently obsessed with finding, like, a dancer that's on Broadway who's, like, really beautiful and talented and then, like, clicking on their profile. And I've done, like, I'm, like. You're obsessed with Broadway right now. I'm obsessed with Broadway. But also, like, just I wanted to be a hip-hop dancer in another life. like you know the girls who have who do the hip-hop dances like there's nothing cooler than that it's all i watch on tiktok yeah these people are so cool they all have like no followers but like they're more talented than everyone and then they're all like friends with the coolest people like all these hot dancers hang out with each other and they're like oh like i'm going to dance like for the weekend um touring with the weekend this weekend then i'm with lady gaga next weekend and then i'm on this broadway show this weekend and they're just like professional dancers

1:00:08Hannah Berner: are no fucking joke and they get zero respect but i'm scrolling through and like their lives seem like really cool for how much i rag on broadway just because like i it's not like my most favorite form of entertainment it's broadway performers and comedians i feel like are very similar in terms of they do so many jobs on stage and they get zero accolades whatsoever like the fact that there's like Emmys and like stand-up comedy isn't in it and obviously like they have the Tony Awards but like to be a Broadway performer you're singing you're dancing you're acting you're memorizing like if you're acting in a movie and you forget the lines there's someone there giving you the lines you're on Broadway you forget the line you're fucked like you know what's impressive

1:00:58Paige DeSorbo: about these dancers too is like they don't yeah they don't get any accolades they're not the star Their job is to be in the background and they're not getting paid a lot. And I'm like, I respect that.

1:01:08Hannah Berner: Well, that's why like watching the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, you're like, wait, you guys are putting so much pressure on these girls and you're also considering it a hobby. Like if you want to put this much pressure and be this big of a fucking bitch to these literal 19 22 year old girls like pay them more than 75 a week you freaks like i do have to say

1:01:34Paige DeSorbo: big picture now that i'm getting older and i'm looking back on like obviously when you're in jobs when you're young and you want to prove yourself but there's a point with like corporate america where they're just like banking on who is gonna overwork and they give you more work

1:01:51Hannah Berner: and they don't like give you raises well I think Gen Z I think we were kind of the last generation of that like we were the last I feel like we were the last generation that woke up at 7 a.m went to a corporate job went to the gym after ate dinner and did it all again like and then COVID hit and then I feel like Gen Z was like uh yeah no like they got out of college and they were like cute

1:02:17Paige DeSorbo: we're not doing that that's adorable for someone else for a dumb millennial to do yeah wait i have a gripe okay why are bikinis sold separately tops and bottoms when like no one's mix and matching

1:02:30Hannah Berner: i think you're wrong i think they're sold separately because everyone's mixed mix and matching top and bottom sizes i think the majority of girls i don't have this unfortunately are bit have bigger boobs and then like for sizing yeah that's why they're sold separately

1:02:53Paige DeSorbo: any other brain busters honey you go next next question are we still doing the thong bikinis in a public space oh my god hannah wait she literally had to reposition for this i have to reposition have you seen this discourse on tiktok no okay there's this whole thing on tiktok where

1:03:14Hannah Berner: girls are like stop wearing thong bikinis to the beach and I disagree with you I think okay the argument was women were like my children are here I don't want my children seeing your asshole basically out and then another girl goes why don't you say the real reason because your kids don't notice you don't want your husband looking at some young girl who's in a thong bikini

1:03:46Paige DeSorbo: there's a lot of perspectives but i also so many perspectives i would argue that everyone has different body types yeah and i have a fat ass yes it's like your friends who have big boobs how like they're more sexualized yeah if you wear a certain top it's like page looks so cute in that where if another girl wears it it's like okay you slutty whore yeah it's giving sex symbol yeah if i wear a thong to the beach we're in a music video we're in a full music video and i don't hate it but i'm not i'm not always in the mood to be sexualized like some i want a bikini that's first of all bring back tankinis they're back they're back okay good these are back and i want to cut i want granny panties i know you don't i knew you wanted that you want a full one piece you're really like no bring it back to the 60s i want a full unitard

1:04:44Hannah Berner: i want a t-shirt you don't you don't even want to show up to the beach in your bathing suit you

1:04:48Paige DeSorbo: want to change there you want it 1950s style i would wear like a wet t-shirt to in the pool with like a cute bottom but like whoever decided we had to wear bras like i also don't like bras

1:05:04Hannah Berner: i never wear bras why would i wear it to the beach i think everything is situational am i showing up to a kid's birthday with no bra and my ass out how many kids birthdays are you showing up to she's like on mondays i do kids birthdays you'd be surprised sometimes sometimes i'm a big head am i showing up to like a beach on vacation in on an island in a thong bikini and like my nipples hard fuck yeah i am so like i think everything really is situational it can't you didn't have to bring up hard nipples yeah i don't know all right i'm feeling cheeky it's 11 30 in italy i'm

1:05:44Paige DeSorbo: like i'm just i'm gonna poke you now with my hard ass nipple okay i just think you can't

1:05:50Hannah Berner: i feel like tiktok it makes everything one big generalization like there's a time and

1:05:56Paige DeSorbo: place for everything i do think it's important for kids to see bodies

1:06:02Hannah Berner: it's also like they they're they don't aren't reacting to it they're not sexualizing me they're seven they can't if they never see a butt and then one day they see a butt that's gonna be weird yeah and all i think it's called exposure therapy yeah expose them first like i've never as a child i don't have one memory of going on vacation with my family and thinking

1:06:26Paige DeSorbo: about some person's body like yeah if someone's like oh yeah capri was really fun until that one woman showed yeah like too much of her side boob are you talking about now if i'm with a man and a

1:06:40Hannah Berner: hot young bombshell walks in front of us and she's got like an insane itsy bitsy teeny bikini on in my head am i like he's definitely looking at her yeah probably but like so am i like she looks great you know you look over you make sure he's still straight yeah no if i had if he doesn't look

1:07:04Hannah Berner: we're segwaying so good wait we have to end on this because i was talking to one of my friends about this this is so Hannah this is so crazy if you're questioning if your boyfriend is gay or not and we've all been there okay we've all at least had one where we're like when he's going down on when a guy is going down on you and you're laying down and you're on your back and he's going down on you if his back is arched not a good sign not a good sign their body should be down completely

1:07:47Paige DeSorbo: like full sniper mode like all laying down if the bed is large enough and he's on his stomach okay

1:07:54Hannah Berner: fine but like or it's like his knees should be on the ground like in no situation should his back

1:08:00Paige DeSorbo: back be arched well adding on to that that's fucking genius adding on to that any guy whose

1:08:05Hannah Berner: posture is too good in general gay every episode your boyfriend's gay break up with them

1:09:21Hannah Berner: We wrote a book. We have a tour. We have a company. Technically, we are business women now. And honestly, that's terrifying because you don't build a company out of giggling without eventually having to learn how money works. We learned in public, mostly by getting things wrong at first, like finding out our money could be earning money just by sitting there. Because apparently having money sit in a checking account doing absolutely nothing is not a financial strategy. That's where SoFi can help.
