Giggling about bologna, poison, and ponzi schemes

In short

The hosts riff on pop culture and “giggler” DMs, then pivot into personal stories and hot takes: Burberry Her fragrance (as a “finishing touch”), Mormon reality-show updates, sexual consent/communication in bed, getting RF microneedling (no downtime), PMS/period mood changes, carbon monoxide/fire safety after leaving a stove on, and a true-crime-style discussion tying “poison” to a ponzi scheme documentary. They also debate dating boundaries (friends dating exes), feminism PR, animal ethics/vegetarianism, and financial/social media habits like public Venmo payments.

Guests

No named guests appear; the episode is primarily the two hosts plus references to “giggler” listener DMs and other reality-TV personalities (e.g., “Macy,” “Page,” “Chloe Kardashian,” “Taylor Swift,” “Zoë Kravitz,” “Harry Styles,” “Lana Wilson,” “Elle Fanning”).

Key claims

RF microneedling is mostly painless vs laser hair removal; microneedling boosts collagen; PMS makes you notice everything; women can’t be “fake” like men in politics; leaving appliances on is dangerous; ponzi/poison schemes can be hidden in social groups.

Notable examples

Burberry Her vs Burberry Her Elixir notes; Dr. Umberine Mahmood; a nursing-home reality show pitch; “Oscar Mayer” baloney spelling debate; Venmo debit card cash back; Billy Eilish on not loving animals while eating them.

0:00Something that can completely change the vibe of getting ready, a signature fragrance. that finishing touch that just makes everything feel a little more put together. That's exactly the feeling behind the Burberry Her fragrance collection. Burberry Her is the essence of freedom, the thrill of open skies, the joy of self-expression, and the empowerment of following your own path. The original Burberry Her Eau de Parfum is a beautiful fruity fragrance with a British twist. It opens with strawberry, blackberry, and raspberry, layered with jasmine and violet, and finished with warm amber. It's bright, feminine, and perfect for everyday wear, all housed in the iconic Burberry Her bottle with its signature soft pink tone.

0:40And for something a little deeper, there's Burberry Her Elixir, which builds on those fruity notes with dark red berries, jasmine, vanilla, and amber for a scent that feels richer, more sensual, and a little more bold. Discover Burberry Her Elixir and the original Burberry Her Eau de Parfum now at Ulta Beauty in-store and online. sup gigglers scary fix the wi-fi manifest that shit we can't be managed i mean the day just got away from me hello my guillotine gigglers violent for no reason um quick mormon update apparently the girls in the new mormon show aren't all mormon so people were like telling me that and i was like how was i supposed to know it's called the new mormon show yeah is this a new segment we have weekly it's like updating the mormon community our mormon correspondents are in my dms and then macy from the other mormon show dm me it was like hi girly we have to play tennis so i'm in with all the tennis reality girls finally because everyone's like make friends with macy and i'm like i'm 34 i don't know how to make new friends and i said hi my love did you wait did she play tennis she's like really good at tennis and her sister's really good oh right right right right right because i get a lot of like hey sonso plays tennis and i'm like okay let's let's see they played so funny because my dms are like hey i get utis all the time too we have such different interactions with people but i feel like page coded girls are up in my dms be like keeping me they're like page i hate that they're trying to lend a helping hand yeah so i get both they're empathic oh god um actually i got a really funny dm from a giggler because sometimes gigglers would be like this would be a funny bit like you should talk about it and they said what do you do when a guy's talking dirty to you dirty to you in bed and you like can't really hear what he said yeah like you can't say what because yeah no that's the worst thing what but like you can't just go with it because you don't know what he said and you don't want to sign up for something you didn't sign up for what what's the move if he's like i just like honestly because at that point if i was like no i blew in glass because really like what are they really gonna do that's like crazy like there are such talk shock like it's four minutes and 30 seconds out of your day like what are they really gonna throw at you that you haven't seen before and like i mean i think we're all alluding to anal here we are what are we two minutes into the episode and you've brought up anal but you have time to be like hey i don't swing that way you do you do you could be like i was muffled in the pillow i thought you said what rhymes with anal I don't know but I got my micro needling honey tell me everything so I'm like a couple I got it at 9 a.m this morning and it's four o 'clock right now you look normal I look normal right yeah it's crazy I want to say I was red for maybe three hours I did it's called RF microneedling.

4:18I went to a doctor. I went to Dr. Umberine Mahmood. Let me tell you something that I really appreciate in people. I like when I meet someone and they are their profession. Like when I met this woman, I looked at her and I go, yeah, you're, you're touching my face you're a goddamn plastic surgeon like i and i hope that that i'm also the type of person that like if i feel a compliment in my head i have to say it like so like walking down the street if i think you have a cool outfit i'm saying it because i think that like builds up your aura points like say it you know like don't keep a compliment in so like whenever i see someone and they're just like so their profession like sometimes taylor will come to like different things we're doing and I'm like you look like a makeup artist right now well because you love Barbie's different outfits it's like when this doctor walked in the room first when I walked into her office I was like yeah this is where I'm getting freaking micro needling done okay and then when she comes in the room I was like hell yeah like your outfit your skin everything about you her ring stack like I I just felt good.

5:38Her ring stack. I loved it. Her aesthetic. Yeah, just her whole aesthetic. I was so proud of her for being a plastic surgeon. I'm just laughing because the Groupon places I've been to, you would call the police. You'd call the police. This is literally insane. So anyway, so I got micro needling done. You go in. They numb your whole face with like a cream for like 30 minutes. And I mean, you're numb. then the procedure takes maybe 15 minutes it basically feels like they're stamping your skin and like you feel it a little bit but here's what i'll say in terms of pain tolerance i actually think laser hair removal hurts do you think it hurts it's definitely not comfortable but it doesn't hurt compared to waxing okay this hurts less than laser hair removal and it's way quicker they do like a pass on your face three times i would say does she recommend this over like all the laser facials that the girls are doing different it's different like it gives you different results yeah like microneedling i feel like is for boost of collagen but we're 27 i know forever but here's the other thing why i liked her like when i'm laying in the chair and she's talking to me like we're talking about like girl stuff like we were literally talking about if we wanted to get boob jobs or not she was selling you a boob job no she was saying like reasons why she was like well this is like reasons why some people don't want to get them and this is reasons why i personally haven't gotten them but like i do think about it like it just felt like because your plastic surgeon at the end of the day is just a girl well i'm laying there and I'm like oh everyone is just a girl everyone is just a girl and we want to talk about girl things not to come for the men only six minutes into the pod but like when there's a man who does like facial surgery especially who's straight I'm like men can't tell if you got a haircut how are you changing like the subtleties of someone's nose I don't think I've ever met a man with a nose job they're out there but not straight men because because i think a nose that looks kind of broken is like considered hot yeah hot yeah well because remember like two summers ago the guys got rat guy summer and i'm like that was god oh that's you see a headline and you go their pr company's fucking great crazy like they get dad bods they get rat guy summer it's like what do we have oh one last giggler message she is woman of stem of the week she said that she finished giving her boyfriend a blow job and after he came she went women in stem and he said what and she goes never mind i can't that's hilarious iconic i love that yeah okay so anyway so i get the micro needling done and then they gave me products to use for like the next five days literally no downtime if i wanted to put makeup on tonight i could it's like a gentle face wash a like good moisturizer you want to be what's it called the person that does stuff for your face esthetician esthetician what's the other one that pops pimples dermatologist you want to be it so bad you're pretending you are one right now and you're loving it you're like and then you used to use a light cleanser i just love talking about my hobby okay sorry you don't have a passion if you had a passion yeah and do you want to know what you have to go for three sessions six weeks in between and then you don't have to go again for like a year or like six months and i'm really excited to see this journey i love how you went from botox to this and i really hope in seven months you aren't on us weekly being like don't get micronate wait did you see page six wrote an article and then chloe kardashian commented it and i was like oh my god what'd they write an article about page six wrote an article about how i said chloe kardashian's perfume was the best i've ever smelled and then chloe commented it and it was like oh my god this is like so nice or something and then I see the gigglers being like it's a the one time I like say I like something and I like messed it up I'm page six needs to get something else needs to happen on reality tv like come on well they also like to take things factually when it's it's full of a it's a bit it's full of a bit you can't just take half of the bit and post it somewhere again this is my personal diary well shout out to clo clo we love you no and i i'm sure her perfumes are amazing she is a celebrity like you know when you look at a celebrity and you're like like claire danes you look at a celebrity and you're like there's something about you that i'm scared of and i don't want to be on your bad side when i look at chloe kardashian there's something about her that i'm like i bet your house smells so good like i know that for a fact there's just something about her where i'm like i bet she smells so phenomenal well i watched her i re-watch her netflix show where they organize her house oh oh and she's like they basically were like we don't even have to be here because chloe's already insanely organized but we're gonna organize her organized house and when i'm bored and don't want to clean my own house which is every day i'll watch organization shows it's like my version of porn it's like i can't do that but let's watch people who can or like it's a gear version of like a motivational speaker yep and then i never start the business it's your tony robbins where has he been people don't talk about him enough good go to sleep i feel like there was like a time like in the early 2000s late 90s where there was like a lot of male motivational speakers well there still are now they're podcasters he has a podcast for sure yeah that's true i want to bring back the word baloney like when someone

13:16okay you know what fuck you i'm gonna take an l on this one because no do you know why period and i don't wait i got my period this morning oh no that's not a good sign that means the gigglers have synced up and that's actually a ponzi scheme like that's a real problem well des yesterday said are you pmsing and i said okay if if this is me pmsing just like questioning if we should go to the eat the same food two nights in a row i must be a fucking angel if this is so bad me pmsing and he's just like laughing and then the morning i'm like i got my period he's like i know and i was like so mad he was right i don't think you're meaner with your period you just notice things better like other things that would i just like go by when i'm pmsing i'm like why would you say in that tone though i'm more in tune with shit yeah like i'm like feeling everything i'm clocking i'm clocking all of it i was like i think i'm just too nice when i'm not pms i think pmsing is when like like the words have come out of my mouth where i'm like yeah sorry that was crazy and i had my period and i apologize you know what it is it's that you can find a problem with everything in this life and three weeks out of the four i don't i choose the high road but that one week i'm pmsing i'm i'm like and that's wrong and that's wrong and i'm annoyed you know when men are like women can't run the country because like they pms and they'll just like blow somewhere up and like get into a fight with some country like i do feel like that about myself i thought you're gonna say something empowering i thought you're gonna be like you go keep me away from the nuclear weapons because you know what if i was the president and someone pissed me off you know here's the thing though I would have a lot of AIDS like my mom would be the first line of defense of like Paige I think that's like an extreme for like yes decision so I'm not worried but like sometimes when I hear people say that like about women I'm like I do do crazy shit when I have my period you know do you know I wanted to be president when I was little like I wanted to be the first female president and then I realized later in life that I don't want to be a liar Only men can do that?

15:43Yeah, like men are good politicians because they lie and they're fake Yeah, here's the thing You can never be fake, it's actually so annoying It's actually ruined A lot of Wait, can I please Every now and then, a TikTok comes up Of like a clip of you on a reality TV show And there was one Where someone was like Paige's ability to not speak at certain times needs to be studied and i actually as a student of the game re-watched this and was like how many times would i have taught a failure but this is the thing when i would be there with you i'd be like is she spacing out like how is she not saying anything i didn't realize that you're playing chess while i'm out here playing checkers and you're waiting for the confessional to give the tea you're writing notes in your head one-liners but page How are you in a scenario watching something and you just let it happen without speaking up?

16:41I know a clip that you're talking about. And I remember that moment. Why did you speak up? I hate to break it to you. I was spacing out during that.

16:53Do you want to know exactly what it was? I had just gotten my eyelashes done and I hated them. Okay. And they were poke. There was parts that were poking me in my eye. And so I know through that entire conversation, I caught the tail end because I was like, I know for a fact that my eyelashes look ridiculous. People love cutting up clips of your reactions to things being like, Paige knows. And I'm like, no, she was thinking about completely other things. Look, I'm never going against good PR, honey. And I'm not trying to expose you because sometimes it is what it is. Sometimes I will be knowing things.

17:34Sometimes you do. Sometimes. A lot of times you are. No, sometimes I do. I am a witch. Like, I do feel things. We'd film, like, a whole day and you wouldn't say a word. Yeah. If you weren't in the mood. Yeah. But then you'd have a day I was like, oh, she's, she came to work. She's wearing her Prada.

17:55Paige was, when she put together an outfit, I knew someone was about to get yelled at. I was so scared. I had so many tells that no one ever picked up on. I was like, I'm in full white, honey. Someone's getting yelled at. I have to look virginal. I have to look bridal. No underliner. You're like, I'm just a fresh young angelic angel. I'm like me do something evil. I'm an angel. I'm wearing white. I have a peplum top on. One day there is a world where this podcast is just a summer house recap show. And the day that happens, the internet's going to break. The day that happens is the day, like, my Medicare kicks in.

18:41It's time, Hannah. Run back the tapes. But, like, one episode could take us, like, four episodes. We'd be dead before. That's why we're doing it at the end of our lives. Why do you think more people in their 90s don't do, like, heroin and meth? And do, like, crazy shit? What are you talking about? I guess they're all on morphine. The Z rate in nursing homes is like rampant. Like people are dying from like a. No, they're not dying. They're just like all getting infected because they're all they're in this like incubus. That's the reality show I want to watch. Seeing who Gertrude is going to fuck.

19:18Can I tell you something crazy? One of my friends reached out to me like not too long ago who was like, hey, I have this like TV show idea. Like I want to run it by you. and so he's like running it by me and it's basically that like it's a nursing home but it's like reality tv of and so i like put him in touch with like some people that like i feel like could talk to him whatever and this one guy like calls me about it and he's like hey like i've seen this show pitched before people have tried to make it like i've seen pilots i've even seen like first seasons of things and he goes i'm gonna say something that's like really unfortunate and like this isn't coming from me it's just like what happens in this specific genre i was like okay he was like people don't want to watch old people on tv because one they're like not as good looking as if you put a bunch of 20 year olds in a house so people like fall off he was like also like no they're not doing anything like they're not we're not tracking anything because like they're so old like they are going to okay well i have i have thoughts and like people can watch someone like a love on the spectrum and not feel that way but when it comes to like older people where like they're maybe dying because of just old age people tend to find like the lack of empathy okay but if you which i was like oh my god there's no much better drama than being like where's mildred and they're like she's not coming to breakfast

20:57and someone's like she owes me 20 dollars but like as someone who is like i love watching hot people on tv it's like my favorite thing i think this guy's wrong because one um what's it called when they're in the water doing their exercises like jazzercise yeah like aerobics water aerobics water aerobics that gets crazy um they always have different talents come in so like you would just need a cast of like you would just need it to be phenomenally casted but page it's going to be like below deck where who are the people working in the work in the nursing home well i think that would actually be so you're actually following the people who work for it but then you get all the comedic timing of old people who don't give a fuck i mean my grandpa went on summer house and looked at the camera and said i hate the hamptons actually a good show for that would be like how they film the office it almost be like a fake documentary style of a nursing home and it's cute where like you come in it's already a community and be like look at us having a business meeting guys sorry by the way this is what it's like to get on a zoom with us as a production company and like 40 minutes later they're like we actually do script it

22:13today we were in a meeting look sometimes we're in meetings and like sometimes they're think tanks they're brainstorms we're like what can we create what's like our the story of our lives and sometimes hannah will throw out the most insane things and she'll be like yeah and i sent my friend and everyone knows it's me and it's the most insane thing you've ever heard and everyone just kind of looks at me like damn she was in a dark place at that time i go i had this friend once who dated a really horrible guy and i would send her articles and i'm just like oh my god i'm like was me has anyone ever sent articles to their friend that are like scientific about like what's going on hormonally when they like meet a guy and like what month they start getting annoyed with him and what month like you cannot trust yourself because like you're just on like a crazy serotonin high no they don't that's what i'm gonna sit down with my daughter and be like the first four months don't count because you guys are sniffing each other's you know armpits you send me scientific data like you send me like dr ashwagandha said and stephanie will send me like the most spiritual like psychedelic like this is what your aura is saying right now so i always get like sorry i like to cite my sources eastern and western mothers and we know where you go we know where you go and i'm like guys okay i have no idea what i'm talking about when it comes to protein bars all i know is that they taste good david protein bars now offers two industry leading protein bars, David's Gold and Bronze.

24:01I'm already kind of obsessed, especially because their packaging is so cute. The Gold's protein bar has 28 grams of protein, 150 calories, and zero sugar. The Bronze bar is still high in protein with even more decadence. With 20 grams of protein, 150 calories, and zero sugar, you're going to end up reaching for both of them. Most protein bars are packed with excess calories and sugar, but David's bars are different, delivering the most protein for the fewest calories. They're great for staying full and hitting your protein goals without compromising on taste or texture. I'm obsessed with chocolate chip cookie dough, and if there's anything peanut butter chocolate chunk, consider me in.

24:42I'm also loving the cinnamon roll and the blueberry pie. They truly are the perfect little treat, so don't just take my word for it try it for yourself david is offering our listeners a special deal buy four cartons and get the fifth free when you go to

a little snack I little I need a nosh a little whimsy like something and it's not to the point where like I'm ordering something and like the thought of like getting up and cooking something I'm just like who do I think I am but then I got a grilled cheese in my head and I was like whatever it takes literally five minutes to make a grilled cheese you're a chef I'm a chef I get up I make my grilled cheese i go back to my bed do you put butter or mayonnaise on it so i put butter in the pan and then mayo on the sides of the bread you naughty little girl no she's crazy she's zany um your dirty dog

a i'm having the most page morning of page morning i give kitty a kiss i give her some food we're having a time i walk in the kitchen and i'm like it's a little warm no hannah i left the stove on the entire night wait isn't that like how you die yeah i could have blown up no but also from the co2 don't you have like um a thing alarm to go off if that oh like carbon monoxide yeah carbon monoxide poisoning oh now you're now you're gonna be googling side effects of carbon monoxide but is carbon monoxide fire so anyway don't leave your oven on it's really really really unsafe this is why you don't cook okay now i'm like do i have to air out the whole yes open but i feel like if you were gonna die from carbon monoxide it would happen last night like i feel like if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger like now you're like spider-man like you could probably like grow walls now or something you know those women who's like husbands try to poison them but they don't do enough so it's like their body just like absorbs it like i feel like i'm the type of woman that like a man would have to try and kill me like so many different times it'd be like a funny movie like every time i just like weirdly get out of it or you'd be like i think i fixed something suddenly i have more energy i've ever had before right like they inject me and i'm like i was actually testosterone deficient there was a documentary shoot where was it i think it was argentina i think it was argentina about this old lady who oh my god she started killing all her friends because she started her own ponzi scheme oh everything's coming together what we've been talking about today and um she basically would get them to lend her money and then she she started ponzi scheme within her tea club like her mahjong group basically she got them all to lend her money and then once they started saying like hey can i have my money back she would poison them and kill them but they're like all like 80 so the first one dies and everyone's like yeah an 80 person died and then two weeks later another one of them dies because she like fell and everyone's like r.i.p and then a third one dies and no one thinks of anything but then finally they start to realize that every old person who died is owed um she owes money to and she was literally like putting little bits of stuff in their tea and killing all her friends oh my god yeah but she still says it wasn't her because they don't actually have the evidence but they're like three old ladies who were in your coffee club eating biscuits with you you owe them all 20 grand and they're all dead and she's like this is recent or like this is an older documentary this is like it was 20 years ago when it happened oh so she's dead i think she might still be alive i don't know i don't like google stuff after but i wonder if she was like 80 but i love how when women kill they do it they do it tastefully it's just always shocking when a woman does something but i hate that it gives the men like any well you know what i would say not all women not all not all women also what was pissing me off is i watched laney wilson's documentary on netflix yeah i saw that she's so cute and she has a big ass so i i feel like we're like connecting i'm like she's one of us she's one of us and she's why you love Elle Fanning I've never yeah I thought about Elle Fanning's butt I thought you just said that you love the Fanning sisters I do but not but I wasn't I wasn't like sexualizing her but oh because everyone says like Elle Fanning has like their best body I mean she has an amazing body I have to check out her butt after this thank you I'll put that on my to-do list look am I a country girl something not really but I appreciate a good music documentary yeah you have red hair yeah country music's crazy because it's one of those things that they're like it's for the boys yeah they hate women in it it's like how only men could be chefs but women cook and it's like in country music it's for the men it's like stand-up comedy where it's like it's for the men like i i related to her because i felt like women in country music are like females really like any women in any sports i'm sure they have stories for days story for a day but it's just so funny who decided like a genre of music was for men the men

31:19but i've never like heard a woman sing and been like that would have been better if a man sang it right never and then yeah like all the pop girlies are like killing it but then if there's like too much guitar you're like no that's a man that's a man that sings that about beer if you sing about beer you gotta be a man there's also so many like subsets of country music well that's why they were so mad about beyonce they were like no this is not country music and she's from houston right so i just want to shout out all the women fighting for their voice in country music also when i think of country music i think of the girls i think of shania twain i think of dolly parton i don't think of i've never thought you know something that did come across my desk that was actually like quite concerning wait first did you see that harry styles and zoe kravitz might be engaged yeah i feel like the new celebrity thing is like after zendaya did not show her wedding everyone's like wait that's cool so now everyone's trying to do everything on this on the down low do you think i think it's more fun to wonder yeah that was so pessimistic of you but i don't know if they're not shit i feel like they're just not sharing it because they're such a list celebrities and he's got to sell a tour honey oh true i've also got on a weird tiktok algorithm of psychics like telling me the vibes they get from couples have you ever gone on that yes i love it it's and they're always like this is this could be completely false and this is just based on what i think because then i'm like i'm a witch i knew it i think she's a scorpio i really feel like i could i would connect with her sometimes i see her in clips and i'm like that would be my friend she's a nepo baby that people don't touch it about because she's such a cool nepo baby like her parents are so cool that they're like you should be in front of the camera yeah lenny kravitz is somewhere like say it i dare you that's what i want to watch that's that's celebrity lenny kravitz and charlie is terron yeah those are a-list celebrities we're losing the art of a list and i i don't i that's sad to me we've lost club culture i don't want to lose the art of like an a-list celeb because a-lists want podcasts and podcasters want to be a-list so no it's gotten gray stop guys gotten gray but then there was like a blind item weird rumor that was like taylor swift was mad that zoe kravitz was dating harry styles but I forgot that Taylor Swift even dated Harry Styles, but also I'm like, she's engaged.

33:54I doubt she would be mad. I have a good question. Yeah. In terms of your friends and who they dated, is there an expiration date? Like how long has to go by before you're cool with them dating an ex? You know, Hannah? What a crazy question. Phenomenal question. Thank you. And I truly think every situation is unique because there are men that I dated for years that if my closest friend called me and said hey I'm gonna hook up with him I would not care I would less than not care I would be worried for her and I'd give her all my concerns but I'd also be like I couldn't give a flying fuck I've also dated nice guys that I'm like I'm not the one for you but like I really want you to meet someone and I have some friends if you like to talk totally and then it's like i have a situationship that like we could have hooked up five times and if someone called me and said they were going out on a date i would melt to the ground i'd be like no you can't do that to me no that's such a good point because we're all just like energies like meeting each other but there's certain people in your life that you're like that's my man forever yeah like there's definitely certain men that i'm like we never dated but like we dated you know we dated and i know we dated and we have like a weird you know but like we never actually dated also i think things get so changed so much when you cross over into your 30s because relationships go quicker if you dated a guy and then your friend starts dating him like a couple years later then you do look at her funny like okay the whole time were you like eyeing him like were you even giving me good advice like you start just like thinking about that i also feel like if you have a crush on your close friend's man that will hurt your relationship with her because like you can't act normal right and i also think that's why it's important to be in relationships like me and you where we have such opposite tastes in men it's so funny anyone that I would go for you would be like that's adorable yeah every now and then you'll dabble in my kind of man yeah and I will be like why the fuck did you do that that's a horrible idea well because any guy that I've dated that I've really liked like because there's some I've dated that I'm like wait I hated you the whole time and that's that says more about me than you are close emotions and like that's my own trauma but the guys that I've had like the best relationships with are the men that love how girly I am oh my god that's why no man has ever been attracted to both of us too but I'm like just thinking of like what relationships I would categorize as like those were learning lessons that was actually a good healthy relationship wrong timing or like Like this was a bad relationship.

36:58Like when I look back on my life of dating, you really can see the level of like either mental illness or the level of confidence. And it's kind of crazy. Well, we talked about this before, but I think seesawing is so real. Whatever happens in your last relationship, you search like you overcompensate for the opposite. And then you keep seesawing until you find that like middle balance. Exactly. Exactly. but it's also interesting as you get older like people get divorced stuff like that there's so many i think you don't even have to be in a small town though because la and new york i feel like that happens all the time but i guess no la it is like a small town because like they're all fucking famous people all fuck each other so there's a lot of like oh he's now with her ex husband i'm nervous and scared but excited for the tea in like 10 years when we get to the point where like everyone's getting divorced it's gonna be crazy but also empowering like when it's gonna be really empowering i love when girls divorce i feel like it's so exciting but and then also like there's a whole crop of divorced men who are pre-trained and so tired from being yelled at and like had court-ordered therapy that are like coming out of that relationship better like i have one girlfriend i have one girlfriend and she's single and we'll like talk about dating or whatever and she'll say like no no I'm second wife energy like I and I just kind of love it like because she's like I know what I want and what is gonna happen for me and like my energy is second wife and I'm fine with that and I'm waiting for that and I'm like okay that's so good I actually just thought of something of why I feel like I've never I've never double dipped with a friend and I think it's because I'm too competitive no not competitive but prideful because my thing is I never want to be with a man who didn't choose me the first time yeah and that is what you should remember be like at the end of the day he saw you and the friend and picked the friend you weren't like whatever that happens you weren't chosen first don't be chosen second like and I think that's why like even if I like thought a guy was cute and he started hitting on my friend I'd be like not the one for me move on my competitiveness has gotten me in some pickles indeed yeah because you want to like show off in a way and then you're like i fucked myself i'm like you don't like me no i got just wait on it wait on it and then i'm like uh mom i know why he didn't like me because he's fucking crazy can you help me get out of something really quick hey i'm locked up no it's so crazy to a refrigerator in so many words i'm always calling my mom every day asking can you help me get out of something like that is the general vibe i'm like can you help me with this it is i do like i don't want to annoy my husband and my mom with too many scenarios but then you know when you probably should have just called them in the beginning but you're like i'll deal with it by myself sorry i was just looking up because i couldn't think of what was the what was the baloney company that was like really and it was oscar meyer i couldn't think of the name that was really annoying me because i'm pretty sure i have a memory of my childhood of me singing of going on the oscar meyer wiener car if i was an oscar meyer wiener that is what i truly want to be and if it was an oscar meyer wiener everyone would be in love with me i just i was it was annoying me the entire you singing a hot dog song no one would have guessed that would happen on this pod everyone's mind is blown yeah i need to call my mom after because i don't know what this memory is i'm having a memory and why were we in a parking lot and why was the Oscar Mayer Wiener truck there and why do I kind of remember wearing ballet flats okay let's talk about the most important financial topic of I think our generation whether or not your Venmo payment should be public no or making sure your friends always Venmo you back and they don't forget exactly Hannah but once they do you can instantly use that money in your Venmo balance I feel like people don't know that I love having a Venmo balance.

48:55oh god i'm just so mad that i didn't spell baloney right

49:03wait this is the thing though learning how to take a l will make you more successful in the long run and that's my mental health moment of the week oscar meyer baloney b-o-l-o-g-n-a yeah that's the time version that i gave i gave you two versions both correct with the like in a sentence and you still were like no i gave you the pronunciation i'm just not so you're trying to find an article well b-a-l-o-n-e-y is the common spelling for the pronunciation and the slang you're not winning this argument why do you keep making me look better every time you fight it you're proving my point honestly i've said that in so many relationships hannah oh my god i've never heard that back to myself oh my god i've never heard that back to myself.

49:56I've actually never said that line before. Was it good? Yes, that hits. I'm so proud of myself. You're making me look better. You're proving my point. You're proving my point. I've actually heard you say that you're proving my point. I needed that. Hannah's heard me fight through walls before and that's actually like my favorite lore ever. Okay, that's all the time we have. Did we talk about Paige when we're fighting through a wall? And at first I was like, I shouldn't hear this. Then I realized, oh, I need to be in on this. Then I started texting her like, no, you're not crazy. That was valid i literally watched him gaslighter and i was like no no no no stay with your point you you were right don't turn stay with your gut on this that is every woman's dream to be in a fight with her man and have her friend on speed dial like basically you were my we were in a boxing ring you were my coach i was coming back cut me you were pouring water in my mouth fixing up my cuts and being like get back in there your point that was the ultimate friendship because at first I felt like it was like listening to two people have sex I was like I feel wrong about this and then I was like she needs me like this is an opportunity funny because in the beginning I was nervous I was like embarrassed I was like and Hannah can probably hear this and then 10 minutes into it I was like and I hope she's listening because I feel like that was a great line that she would appreciate also as my best friend nothing feels better than like hearing your best friend stand up for herself yeah you're like fuck yeah yeah i'm like go harder go harder actually and then you want to jump in i'm like tag me bitch tag me anyway um anyhow i also have to apologize to the academy for one last thing i've been doing this thing back to my headphones where like people go on a zoom and like you can't hear the person you're like i can't hear you and you get all frustrated and you're like they're clearly wrong and then you realize the whole time that your thing wasn't plugged in and then you have to pretend that you like clicked something crazy to make it work i do that too often to people i've done it to you raise your hand if you've been personally victimized on a zoom by me being like can't hear you fix your side yeah i've been personally victimized on a zoom more than once in one day by you like wait why are zooms so chaotic i feel like i've gotten on a zoom and you've been like no makeup today got it okay i walked into two separate meetings today one in person one not and i literally was elwoods being like i wasn't aware there was an assignment actually i'm unprepared for both of these things that just happened to me i went to a meeting and they go did you send did you get the slides and i said no no normalize being like no fuck i didn't look at it like but then normalize being like i didn't get the slides let's reschedule this i'm not about to just do this meeting to do this meeting if i didn't have the proper information and sometimes moral of today's episode you don't have the proper information sometimes you were not nobody prepped you no one prepped you properly

53:13wait the elwood scene when she goes did you read the book and she's like i actually was unaware that there was an assignment that scene shaped the my young adult hood i wake up in the middle of the night sweating thinking that i forgot there was summer reading and all summer i didn't read and then i showed up on the first day to a british woman being like and she gets kicked out of class i was like devastated i was so hurt in that moment for her and but also why didn't she have a computer like everyone else had a computer that felt like she did the outfits like how much could she do she put all her money in her vintage she brought a moving truck to harvard

53:54okay okay we love you guys thank you for giggling with us we'll talk to you later bye
