3:37You were not yourself at all. No, I had to like apologize to people when I walked in a room. I'm like, hey, I'm going to be weird. I don't know who I am or what I'm doing. I do think, though, because it's my second special, I know what to expect. And it's going to make me a lot more calm. The Netflix thing, it's like I've never filmed a special. So I just everything that could go wrong. I was like worried about going wrong. Yeah. Repeatedly in my head for every day. And anyway, it was a dark existence, but I'm like, why don't we do it again? No, but I'm like, I feel a lot better now. And where are you filming it again?

4:11Toronto. Oh, right, right, right. Toronto. The Toronto girls are amazing. Insane. And you filmed it last time in Philly. In Philly. Yeah. I love how also you get off on in your comfortable exercise outfit, looking at me going, so where you have to go i'm like wow i have no plans this week um maybe i'll wear my pink workout said tomorrow but don't worry giggly squad you know i'm gonna get your ass back okay so are we was this we were like gonna up our outfits or no we're gonna stay ourselves i i only have so much to give to this world i just feel like when i do giggly squad i can't be in an outfit that i would normally socialize in or go out in because that's a persona of me that's a fake person that you meet on the character that i wrote that i've created okay she has made up motives and plot lines she's annoying honestly okay with her fucking ballet flats she's annoying um anywho no i have a lot for us to talk about well okay let's get the gross stuff out okay i did something so embarrassing this morning i was at a nice coffee shop with my husband yeah it was really quiet birds chirping it's like 8 30 a.m and i decided to get a croissant yeah and immediately i felt like i had to fart okay and but it was like a little one are you in line no i'm sitting at a table okay inside but out outdoors oh okay outdoors and i feel like i have to fart so It's outdoors.

5:42It's a free country. And it was like a little one. But you know when it's a little one and somehow it comes out like with a trumpet, like the smaller it is, the like louder it is and like the higher pitch it is. No, I'd actually kill myself. So I'm sitting with my husband and he goes. Hannah. I don't react because that's look as a girl, if you don't react, a man will be blamed. So I just sit there and Des is this actually my least favorite part about him. he's one of those people's like you farted like it's he's like a call-out person he's a snitch i'm like whose team are you on wait i didn't see that for him because he thinks it's funny the only time i've ever been like does is like one time you were telling a story and he was like that's not what happened tell it right now he does that he no that's exactly this is this is she's performing guys listen to the last bird of one episode my biggest pet peeve is i say a story and he goes no that's not what happened and i go oh my god i was adding je ne sais quoi yeah you were adding spice and he's like and he's like well if i'm part of the store i can't be part of your lie and i go lie that was a fucking incredible monologue sprinkles on it like give me a break so he also it's there's a thing with relationships we're at the point where like even yesterday we were going to get dinner with you and he i was like i want to be early and he's like you only like to be early around page and i'm like well i respect her i can't believe you said that because literally right before we were going to dinner I was like well Hannah's not gonna be on time she's always like 10 minutes late so Des was like is Paige gonna be late and I'm like she's gonna be early or like exactly on time and it was a 30 minute drive and I was like I'm not risking it and he literally goes you act so different with Paige I was like sorry we never go out to dinner and like this is a big deal for me I haven't socialized in New York in three years and I've gone out every single night in Miami.

7:35I'm like, I'm calling friends I haven't talked to in 10 years. Wait, this actually, literally the other day, I was like texting a girlfriend that I knew in college and we've been friends since college, but we're not the type of friends where I'm like, what are you doing this weekend? We're the type of friends where like every two months we'll like check in or something, but it's never like deep, deep. It's a story replier. We're casual friends. Then I had another girlfriend who I've been also friends with for 10 years. Haven't seen her in probably like five. But again, like we keep up with each other.

8:09Like we'll talk every once in a while, whatever. All three of us hung out. And every woman has the same experience all the time. Like we're just all the same. Like we all sat down and we were like, oh my God, like how are you? Like what's going on? And then the first girl goes, well, I'm so annoyed with my husband. And the other girl goes, okay, well, you want to hear what I'm dealing with? And I was like, okay, this took four minutes and 30 seconds and we're back. Wait, can I say something? No, wait. It felt, no, I'm not finished. It felt so relieving because there's something when you're in your 30s and you see a friend from your 20s, instinctually, you're like, well, I'm so different and this is how, but also I'm still the same.

8:56and you almost feel like you have to impress them a little bit but when they're like your true friends it's like okay what's like really going on and you're like okay well actually and it felt so nice we hate socializing but i realize now when you're socializing with the right people it's good for your mental health because they're a mirror so like it's healthy for you to see how other people see you especially when you see yourself like shit sometimes yes so to see other people be like wait but me too like we're the same is is mentally healthy so and there's like times where you're like only i feel this and only i'm going through this and i can't tell anyone because they're gonna think i'm weird or like whatever and then you say it and they finish your sentence yeah and they're like yeah i dealt with that last week literally yesterday this morning that was like us with the gigglers when you had a panic attack and i was like who had a panic attack this week and they were like one two three me um so i farted the coffee shop oh right and I try not to pull it and Des is staring at me I could feel him staring at me and he goes did you just and I and I start going I start laughing he goes are you oh my god the confidence you even have to do that like I would have literally risked women need to take up space I would have literally risked my stomach exploding inside my body this is the thing I'm an avid farter so like I know the ways to get around it I got unlucky where there was no bird chirping in that moment and he was like dead silent i'm just in new york city okay you can fart anywhere in new york city and you are there's a fucking like building exploding and of course i could fart in new york city we're in miami and there's like no one everything is peaceful you can do anything on the street of new york city like i'm not kidding i could project albomin and no one would know and people would just be like are you okay okay so he looks at me and then he starts looking around i'm like stop And he's just dying laughing and he goes those people heard a hundred percent This is the reality.

10:52This is the public we're out on this like yeah I'm like we have to go

11:01Whole sandwich left, but I was like we have to go The owners like walking out like Excuse me ma 'am Hop there's too many hot people Miami. You can't do this yeah um but i look back and the girl has her airpods in and i'm like does she have airpods and we're good and he goes no it was the family over there and i'm like a whole family we gotta go they're paul they're trying to have a vacation so we left also not to call des out again but speaking of you talking to your friends and having this amazing beautiful connection okay this i have to say what happened i'm at breakfast and this i love that four years of this podcast every story that you've told i'm at dinner i'm at breakfast so i'm at this lunch my life surrounds meals okay so this particular meal it's at breakfast and this handsome guy walks by yeah and he looks at me and i'm like obviously i'm so good looking and he goes hey um can you give page my number stop and i was like i kind of like pause because i'm your gatekeeper and I was like wait oh you told me that yes I think he dm'd me and I said well I just looked at him and I was like why are you single because he's 36 handsome what happened and he's like I'm going through a separation and I was like from a wife or like who knows but the man is bleeding out he's vulnerable I said okay we'll see what we could do yeah but then the next day does does wakes up at like at the crack of dawn comes back to the hotel room at like 10 a.m.

12:37and I'm like slowly getting up and he's like i just hung out with that guy for like an hour at the coffee shop and i was so immediately i go so my future husband has already you want to know what that's what i want from a future husband i want you to stalk me i want you to change your name infiltrate my life be like i've been obsessed with you for years so immediately i'm like this is amazing i'm about to I get like so much tea. I go, so what happened with the separation? Des goes, what? I go, he's going through a separation. Like what's happening? He goes, no, we talked about cars. He goes, I'm not asking about his personal life.

13:18I go, if a girl was going through a separation and she was just washing her hands in the bathroom, I would know about it. If I'm in an elevator with a girl who's going through a separation, I would smell it and be like, fuck that dude. And she'd be like, I know you know what he did. And I go, tell me what he did. there are girls in my dms who have told me more details wait now my dms from the girls are like hey i know you said on the pod don't dm you about your boyfriend problem because you're just gonna say break up with him but listen to this one but it's the same answer so anyway um men they like respect each other's privacy in a way that um is stupid i don't respect you want to know what it's in a selfish way well because they never had to in life they never had to be like i need help yeah um okay i've been dying to talk about it since we started since we talked about it on the pod last time the toxic mom group i just love it so this is my problem obsessed with it i can't get myself to read a full cut article because the words are so small and i wait they're so small why do they do that keeping like what i don't do with my time oh i'll read ashley tisdale's article now and i can't get to it i can't do it did you read it no okay so without reading the article what is the current update well there was this article that i did read that was like i think like page six or something yeah about um ashley tisdale and vanessa hutchins and how they used to be really good friends which i completely forgot that they were like always out together and then random but even after yeah and then i feel like covet happened and then i like forgot about them but the article said that when austin butler broke up with Vanessa, Ashley stayed better friends with Austin because they were all friends.

15:05And Vanessa felt like she supported him more. So then they stopped talking. Wow. And when I read that, I was just like, you know, what's so crazy is like, you're in high school, fucked up shit happens to you. You like learn about different people's personalities, what like friendship is like. And you're like, oh, I never have to deal with that again. Then you get to college. You have one year where like you're just like no i'm switching all my why was i friends with them or like something happens and you're like i'll never deal with that again because i'm not in school like now i'm an adult i'm in the workplace you're gonna say workforce i was we are in the workforce we are in the workforce then you get to an office and you're like wait a minute dude office politics offices are so scary then you're like okay whatever that's like a professional It's not in my personal life.

15:56I don't have to deal with it. Every stage of a woman's life, I feel like there's some type of situation where like you have to, it's just like something happens with your friends where I actually applaud the men for that because you never hear of that. You never hear of guys being like, he was my best friend all growing up and then something happened in college and we never spoke again. so I actually like admire that about their friendships okay yeah they don't talk to each other they don't know anything about each other it's like those marriages where it's like well they don't sleep in the same bed so obviously they can stay together like they haven't seen each other okay yeah like I'm not judging but it's like when but men do like even if you look at like tennis matches like the women are not friends on tour like after a match where something goes wrong I'm like well I'll never speak to her again where men will literally like sleep with each other's girlfriends get in a physical altercation and then be like it's okay bro yeah I'll see you tomorrow like I'll literally I'll see you tomorrow I don't know how they do that but also I feel like there is like every girl has had one friendship breakup where you're like that was my canon event yeah because she when a girl doesn't want to be friends with you it hurts more because she really loved you for you like she wasn't having sex with you exactly like you weren't like tricking her with your pussy don't like my personality you genuinely know my heart and my soul and you know me more than my boyfriend and you're like probably see my vagina as much like since you went to like non-traditional like you didn't have a traditional high school experience yeah did you have you ever had like a big friendship breakup where like you were friends with that person for a really long time and then one day it was just like the only friendship breakups I ever had was reality tv which honestly not real it's not real but it also was kind of harsh because it was like your entire friend group one day they're like and you're out yeah like I've never lost like seven people like that before right um I have I have

18:04but like since then I've never had I've I've definitely had like growing apart because like Like someone starts having a family or someone leaves jobs. Right. I have a question for you that I think people might connect to. Okay. Everyone has that like friend who might have like partied a little too hard in their 20s. Yeah. And may have like pissed off a lot of people and like was a lot of drama. But then we're at the point now in our 30s where a lot of these people have done work on themselves. they're sobering up and they're they're kind of like re-emerging into people's lives like hey sorry when i was 24 and was in a k-hole now i'm now i'm 33 and i did ayahuasca and i i reflected um do you let these people back into your lives wow and this is a very you know general question because i have friends who have like used to party really hard and like didn't do a lot of healthy things and may have hurt people.

19:03This is a very polarizing statement I'm going to say, but my mom has like said it since I was little. So I don't really care. And it actually isn't whatever, but she's always said that like people don't change like ever. Like I don't, she was like, I don't care if they went to therapy. I don't care if they did this. I don't care if they did that. they don't change which I believe but I also think people can grow people can change no like I don't wholeheartedly believe that but in her defense 99 % of the time yeah whatever you didn't like about them is probably still a little bit there I did have one friendship breakup oh yeah how old were you college okay so it was really intense she was like my best friend and we were on the tennis team together and then she was having her own kind of issues with the team and ended up leaving the team and we had kind of like this falling out that was it was sad but I also was like this isn't a healthy relationship anyway anymore and then fast forward years later she reached out to me and had done like a lot of work on herself and was so self-aware of like what happened yeah things that she could have done differently immediately I was like and I could have done this differently yeah and we'll never be as close as we were right but I've 100 % forgiven her yes I think that's where you have to get because it's like oh we both know we both were so apologetic yeah both were clearly like loved each other yeah and expressed like I missed you and I'm so sorry.

20:43Well, it's very stressful for your own self to dislike someone. Yeah. Like you can't, like you really can't hate people. I mean, obviously I have a list of people I fucking hate. Well, active hate is bad for you. Yeah, active hate, like where you're actively like, I don't know, texting them and fighting is so different than people that you're just like, they scare me, I don't want to be associated. But love and hate are close where like me and this girl were like so close and then it was like, for us not to be speaking, it was literally a breakup. So it's kind of like a guy who like you had a great thing with but then there was miscommunication and got fucked up and one day later in life you're just like by the way like I respect you and I love you and like it wasn't meant for us okay but no hard feelings yeah if a girl came back to me like as a friend I would be more into like possibly but it's like you're not guided I would be no I would never even respond But even with girls, I would argue you never be my best friend again.

21:40Correct. I had a friendship breakup when I was in college. And I'm not kidding. It took me like four years to get over it. And the final straw was, I remember, not even the final straw. It was like when I realized she didn't want to be my friend anymore. Yeah. It was her 21st birthday. And I was like, what are we doing? Like, oh, my God, 21. And she was like, oh, I don't know yet. And then I saw she was in Atlantic City. she's like cool she's in Atlantic City with her family and I think that's why when we did a show in Atlantic City I was so we got in like we were in like a car and you randomly go I'm not gonna die in Atlantic City and I was like okay and I couldn't understand why I was having such an aversion to Atlantic City and then I remembered that story and I was like oh yeah because I've never been to Atlantic City or even thought about going because of that moment in my early 20s not getting invited to a party yeah where like everyone else is invited is like but that's what i guess ashley tisdale was talking about basically like that's like she felt like she she would see them at like brunch and stuff but that now in my 30s yeah go to brunch get out there girl like have the best time it's hard with the friend group though is sometimes it's one person being like we're not inviting this person yeah and then other people are just kind of like going with it but they're not necessarily like on a team of something it's like there's those followers like in the middle wait can i say something about like having one friend in one final yeah it's well that's why when there's three friends there's always like gang ups and stuff yeah it's 2026 and i'm so ready for a closet refresh i love shopping after the holidays because you have valentine's day to look

about the workplace too yeah the workforce yeah the workforce it was very interesting and it was just an instagram but um i read it oh good it basically said how being the smartest or best worker in your office does not really mean that you're gonna get a promotion that promotions more so go to like the safer person who's really like in with the social of it all because I've been at companies where like I was the one who was like in meetings like trying to come up with new ideas or like disagreeing with something or being like what if we did this and like outside the box and I wasn't like going out afterwards with the company and then I remember someone else got a promotion who like smokes weed with the boss every weekend and they basically were like the person who like doesn't speak up maybe you should have done drugs and again drugs would have made me more successful but if they're like if you're just like not a risk yeah and like safer and just like a yes man you're more likely to get um a promotion which interesting i don't want to tell people have you ever been promoted i've definitely asked for a promotion but told no i've never never even brought it up like never on my job i've multiple but the thing is i'm so entrepreneurial that every job i just learned so much i was like i'm not gonna be here like much longer yeah no i remember like i i went to my old notes and saw a thing from a review meeting and i wrote all the things that i did and i was like listing it out and i remember them being like you're fired this is so cute but you actually got fired last week why do you keep coming here i didn't know are you still getting checks in the mail because that's an accounting issue like george costanza and sign it actually low-key is so funny to get fired oh it's literally like because you're just like fuck you i didn't want to work here anyway like you're like someone on vacation no getting getting fired as a people pleaser has been like the biggest growth for me yeah as a human in my heart and my soul yeah also we all have those jobs in your 20s where you're like this is what i want to do for the rest of my life and then you get fired and you're like what yeah um also one shout out i've been getting some dms about now let me just say page's number one job and she's incredible at it is doing the ads yeah every now and then i get a message being like i can tell that page re-recorded this ad i can tell that she fought for her life to pronounce one of these words and i just want you guys know you need to support her and you need to support us and she's trying her fucking very best this is her one job you know how hard it is to read 20 ads she has the reading level of a second grader and she's what people aren't understanding is that i'm not just reading the ads i'm writing i'm making them up as i go like it's not like the word smith okay it's not like the brand sends you exactly what she's a novelist they're like and make it your own and i'm like okay well in my life i would cough here i would mispronounce this word there's so many times where I've had to re-record ads and Hannah has been like babe you're dyslexic and I'm like no I'm not it's like okay you had to say LMNOP and you said it backwards do you remember that one time I followed you I was like I know for a fact I didn't say it wrong and then I re-listened I was like maybe I am dyslexic no I'm definitely something but it's like we're out of school now so it doesn't really matter and I'll live with it um okay can I come from was that the only thing you wanted to say just like for people to like stop judging how I read thank you for bringing awareness I haven't started my book but it also was funny because obviously like I'm not listening to to all the ads you do okay here's the reason why I do the ads because when Giggly Squad first started Hannah edited the podcast I did the ads now that we have Grace like I send the ads to Grace she'll edit them she'll edit the podcast I just never stopped doing the ads because like it's part of my routine it's part of my thing yeah and i wrote the book but with and then and hannah and her mom wrote the book but it's i but you talk to grace so much more than i do so i feel like it's our thing it's what like keeps us by the way i would love to help with the ads we just like we have a lot going on it's not and it could change tomorrow it's not sustainable though for the ads to like split them up because it's they're all in it's just easier to go and once you start you can flow and also you're really good at recommending things like you know it's good well that's the other thing with the ads i've personally like been like yes yeah i use that hair product yes so like it makes more sense for me to do it a hundred percent and but it is interesting because we've gotten some questions during live shows like how do you like divvy things up we both just do the things that we're good at and that's it which we haven't figured out what those things are but we'll get back to you also i was with a man not des yeah not an affair and i just have oh my god men are so fascinating where like he was trying to find somewhere with directions and it's the classic like how men don't ask for directions yeah and i'm like can we just check the phone because if we're walking the wrong direction for like 10 minutes i'm gonna be pissed and he's like don't give up don't give up and i'm like give up i'm just trying to do better and then we get to this we're shopping someplace and he was like i'm like let's ask the person where we were looking for like slides yeah and he was like flip flops and i was like let's ask where they are it's a huge store and he's like well i'm not giving up and i'm like we're not you're not a hunter you're not impressing me right now filmed for television you're wasting my damn time this is a survivor no one's judging you ask for help I don't think they like to especially to another guy I think that's why they don't like to ask directions because it's always to like when you stop to ask directions it's usually like a gas station it's like a guy or whatever but in like a store or just general help yeah one thing about me the second I walk in a store if I know what I need I'm going straight to a person I said I'm helpless i'm scared no i'm the person on customer service zero zero zero give me a real freaking person i'm sos on my forehead except when i don't have anything to shop for and i'm just like perusing yeah i'm so scared of conversation because as a people pleaser they're probably doing fine but all i hear is do you want to buy that are you sure you don't do she do you want to buy now do you want by now and I'm like I would love to support but I'm so scared okay that actually brings up a good point because I feel like I keep seeing that like for whatever reason it's very trendy to have a sister I feel like all my TikToks are like and here's my sister and we're like you had a sister this whole time or it's like and this is my twin and it's like and it's all these TikToks of like girls and their sister relationships, which I so like envied my whole life.

32:10Then I saw this girl make a TikTok and she was like, wow, I don't have a sister. And so I feel like no one's ever actually told me the truth in my whole entire life. Because sisters are so like, no, you look disgusting. Why would you do that? Or like you're acting like a weirdo. Like they're very - I feel like our moms do though. So I like was sitting there and I was like, oh my God, has anyone ever told me the truth and then i go wait a minute i have text messages and emails about how i can improve and things that i can change i was like wait i've been told the truth 10 times more than any fucking sister out there okay isn't it cute that like our moms become our sisters now well now that like yeah now that i'm in like our older I like if something will happen and it's not like oh my god I have to tell my mom because she has to fix it it's like I have to tell my mom because I want to like she's gonna have a great comeback to it also I saw this hilarious stand-up by I'm gonna insert the name um Casey Shurnima she was saying how isn't it funny how your dad is just kind of like your mom's boyfriend and how like you'll be going out to dinner it's like do you want to are you bringing him what am I supposed to talk to him about?

33:32Like when you go to the bathroom, just like hang out with your boyfriend. I love the TikToks where it's like, why would I talk to my best friend's ex? And it's like, it's their dad.

33:43He's literally just like the guy that she got sperm from.

33:50When your mom like first complains to you about your dad for the first time, it's so funny. I said something the other day, like I was on the phone with my mom, but usually she has me on speaker so like should we break up with anyone in the kitchen could be listening and i said to her like and i just don't relate because like i come from a household where like the woman is in charge and like she's the smartest and my dad goes okay

34:15and i'm like so i don't identify that your dad is in charge because at my house we don't care where he is but she's made him think that he has some power and he's listening you guys what is what the hell like inspiring against me she's just but your dad is literally your mom's boyfriend that like yeah hangs around and it's like he's always hanging around her also because i'm getting older i am that family member i did oh my god i did that thing which you know your family member will like call you someone else in the family's name and you're like how could you do that i called lois andrea who's my other little cousin yeah and i'm like becoming everything that i was annoyed at like my older aunts for doing to me like i'm the person that walks up to her and goes you're getting so big yeah and you know when you're little and someone says that you're like i'll blow my brains out please like you're the eighth person that told me that today but you like it's like human nature you just become your aunt yeah you just like become your mom i'm just becoming every i'm like you used to be so little i used to tell her a whole story that she doesn't care about i'm like you used to run up and down the stairs with those cheeks and now you're like you look at you she's like i'm 16 shut up oh also i wanted to formally apologize last episode we recorded it was really nice out and i was like shall we walk back to your place yeah and you stupidly you get tricked every damn time every damn time I'm with you because I distract you with some good gossip I'll be like let's talk about this and we're walking and look it's a flow state walking gossiping and then you were wearing your I was wearing ballet flats that and it was the first time I was wearing them like I had gotten them at the Woodbury Common Outlet which is just like there's nothing better than getting something at an outlet store yes so that's real shopping it's real sharp shopping like i respect that yeah because you have to like go in and like look around once you have to park one time i was at woodbury common outlet and i was i'm not kidding i was eight years old and sometimes they would do peak it at my goal weight okay i was i've never been skinnier and they used to do um sometimes they would do like sam not it was like sample sale pop-ups but it was just like food sampling I got excited no it was just like extra stuff that either like they couldn't sell or whatever but it wasn't the store name like it was an empty store name so any brand could be in there and I remember one time Burberry was in there and they had these Burberry pink and brown like rain boots and I could and I found one of them okay and I was like oh the other one is obviously like they have it in the back they're not putting two because they want people to steal it or whatever i had one in my hand and i'm little like i'm a child and i'm like shopping with my mom so i go up to her and i'm like i have this boot and this is the boot i want to buy so she goes up to the counter and she's like we need the other boot and she was like oh the other boots out on the floor like it must just like be somewhere and my mom was like okay well we'll look for it she made you scavenger hunt well it looked like a sample sale room so it was like shit was all over yeah this woman was holding the other boot and now we're up at the counter and so I'm a child so I'm like hey that's my boot hey like I have the other boot and like I'm about to pay like that's my boot and my mom gets into a fight with this woman and the woman was like no I'm not giving you the other boot like I had it first and my mom was like well how do you know that you had it first when my daughter who's a child is holding the boot anyway long story short I actually don't remember what happened but I don't I do know that I don't have those boots so I must have not I don't know what happened what my mom ended up doing that's what like built character back in the day and that being at a mall seeing everyone i know that i was revved up okay i was devastated i couldn't believe i didn't leave with the boots so now every time i go to woodbury common outlets i'm a savage like you want to cut me in line i don't think so i think about those boots from 1998 and i'll never let that happen again and like clicking something to buy on amazon will never give you that thrill of like that was war like you were hunting and also i hate that sample sales are such a new york city thing because we could have competition.

38:53Like if they did sample sales all over the country. Do they not? No, because all like the place, like the design district. Always in, cause look, I love a sample sale. I'm at the point now, if I go a whole day without spending money, I feel like I made money. I'd be dead. If I go a whole day without spending money, someone check on me cause I'm dead. So anyway, you texted me the next day and said, I'm bleeding out from your ankles because some of these designer shoes from my ankles Hannah I had 12 blisters in total you guys we walked for 10 minutes foot we walked for 10 minutes and I actually that night was going to apologize to you because I felt in my heart of hearts that you were in pain because we have that connection pissed me off about it the most I had planned to get a pedicure later that day I can't go to a pedicure bleeding out with open sores I literally I'd be like just chop my feet off now of staph infection.

39:52I was literally going to apologize to you and then I turned on Great British Bake Off. On pedicure-less. And I haven't gotten over it. So moral of the story, don't listen to your friends when they want to walk or exercise because they're tricking you. I also wrote down I have a social media strategy. I realized this is literally my social media strategy. It's two things. Whenever I post, you have to have a purpose. What's your motive? What's your niche? I have two posts. One. Wait, I was really funny. Okay, go. What is going to make the gigglers laugh? What is going to make them laugh? What is going to make them be like, hee hee hee, kick their legs?

40:31And then what is going to rage bait? Rage bait. Rage bait page. What is going to rage bait page? So those are the two things I post. And if you look, there's nothing else that I post. It's laugh. And when I post a rage bait to Paige, you don't respond. Or if you're like. Like give me an example of a rage bait to me that you posted recently that I was like hello. Oh yeah. Well. Like that's to you. Like that's not to anyone else. That's just to you. And for all the gigglers being like waiting on pages. You put it on close friends. Like wait till I see it. So those are the only two posts. And some of them are the same.

41:06Some of them rage bait and make the gigglers laugh. But that's all I post. Yeah. No that's so true. Valentine's Day isn't just for couples.

41:41but if you're gifting for yourself get an early look at the heart collection dropping on january 19th they're classic done fresh modern and they don't feel cliche so shop fine jewelry in store online and in the app i was gonna say did you see the very controversial take that jennifer lawrence had oh that a dog bit her kid so she was like fuck that dog yeah she was like got rid of the dog the comment oh the com well she did say after that it's not funny she did say after that like i will obliterate any dog i see which i don't think she was being serious it's jennifer lawrence obviously she's not gonna kill a dog but what a headline to give people no i was like oh my god When I saw it, I literally was scared to go in the comments because I was like, I've just said, hey, cats over dogs.

42:38There's something about dogs that represent like America. We're like, if you talk too bad about dogs, you're not patriotic. That is so true. Because dogs are men. Not appropriate. But a cat. She's a lesbian. She's queer. She likes poetry. She drinks kombucha. yeah she has piercings no cat has ever bit a baby's face she believes in witches yeah but anyway it was one of those moments where i like watched the clip and i was like could have reasoning because i'm a human where i was like i totally get like if a dog bites your newborn baby's face you're gonna obviously be like oh my god i'm scared of this dog now no no no you don't mess with dogs and babies if a dog has ever showed aggression but I was so scared to click the comments and then I clicked it and it was just like I was like oh my I'll never say another thing about a dog ever we were joking last night about this because we were talking about you ever watch a video and you think the comments are gonna have a certain vibe and you want to add to it and then you click on it and you're like oh no we are going in the complete different direction and i'm not there are sometimes where i'm like wait the comments are a group mentality and sometimes you were off like you think you're gonna go down to be like silly goosey and it's like hate comments or sometimes you think it's gonna be hate comments and everyone's like slay and you're like okay and it's usually like public like i'm trying to think of an example because i feel like that just happened and i was like wait he's right and the comments were like how dare you yeah but there's like an oh you want to know what it was there was a guy who was at a Broadway play and he was with his nieces you love a public meltdown oh there's nothing New York to be like shut the fuck up well I agreed with him because I'm sorry when you go to the movie this is why like I will never go see like a well because I have a brain I would never go see like a wicked type movie in the movie theaters because if someone started singing I would be so annoyed this is my problem i'm not gonna say something publicly against like a row of people like that scares me i feel like if it's one person you could give a little look or you wait for a more angry new yorker if you didn't say something if you didn't see the clip the clip is of a like guy probably like in his 40s he's at a theater he stands up he's yelling like i need security over here security comes over and he's like this whole row is obnoxious they're singing the whole time they're now like using profanities he's there with like his two like little nieces yeah i don't know what play they're at obviously one he was saying my nieces won't stop singing they're so fucking annoying and i think broadway is so different from the movie theater okay the movie theater fine broadway the humans are up on stage they're singing you paid to hear them let them cook why would you make a word make a sound at a play i also have ptsd from like when you're on the bus and like a bunch of girls start singing a song and like you don't know the words.

45:50I never joined in on that. That was so not me.

45:56Like anytime there was like a dance circle, I couldn't do that. I actually. And you like performing like that. I was like, no. I saw a crazy altercation at an air on a plane recently and I hate talking too much about flights, but like it is prime time for drama. Tell me who's in the wrong. Okay. Okay. So this lady is going to her seat. You're witnessing this firsthand. First hand. This lady is getting to her seat. And above her is someone's jacket. Okay. She takes the jacket. In the overhead bin. In the overhead bin. Okay. She takes out the jacket and says, whose jacket is this? Looks at me because I'm next to her.

46:36Wasn't mine. Okay. First time I'm innocent. And the guy behind me. Already? Don't touch my shit. The guy behind me was like, that's mine. and she goes you can't put your jacket here and tosses it to him oh okay and i don't want to say so wrong it was dez it was dez's jacket it was dez's jacket oh my god now mind you across from her okay was an open like there was room okay now there's the bin is not assigned to that seat that's the thing your bin is not assigned or they'd have numbers on the bins and it's first come first serve correct what she could have done what i've done in situations where like i'm going to sit and someone's jacket or things they could put underneath is there you turn to the person who works there yeah and you say hey how would you think you can fit this up there and then she yeah can handle that in a professional manner don't touch my stuff pulls out his coat no and throws it i would have thrown it right back throws it at him and des flies all the time so he knows his rules he was calm as a gentleman as he could be there was people walking through and overheard and said Merry Christmas to her yeah it was like dirt and they were like she's in a bad mood and this lady just like sat back down how old was the lady she was like 65 she was where were you flying to may I ask or where were you coming from I don't remember but she then she was sitting in front of me the whole time i was like this woman disrespected my husband even someone hurts someone you love yeah it's a different anger yeah but then i was more i was texting des and i said first of all i'm so proud of you for being so calm because in the moment i was like you could say something kind of snippy like no i would have freaked out he was so calm but i i told him i said whatever's happening don't take it personally she's going she has this kind of interaction with people all day yeah like she's full of anger has nothing to do with you she's projecting on you she's probably having a rough time and that's how she was she traveling alone no she had her husband with her and he didn't say anything he was he was scared what a beta um what were we talking about before this because i feel like i was gonna say something i have another hot take oh my god i know So, the best compliment comes from a child under five.

49:04Yes. Yes. But also the most painful remarks can come from a child under five. They can make or break you. Yeah. They're not holding back. They'll see you do something and be like, why are your arms so sweaty?

49:25oh my god it's like in the morning lois will like jump into my bed yeah throw a book at me and make her read to me and then go ew your breath smells bad i'm like okay you first of all ford put a gun to my head force me to read don't let me brush my teeth and then bully me for having bad breath what kind of abuse is this i love like a child's like i wonder at what age your brain is like oh i can't say like you just don't say because you're not consciously like oh i don't i can't say that anymore yeah but it's like you just don't say certain things if a kid says you're funny or pretty like yeah like if a babe like honestly christmas eve mass this will i was next to like three little boys under eight years old they were obsessed with me and i was like it's like wait a second well that's why it's like yeah i'd rather the little kid like me than these adults that are projecting their own shit that they've experienced on their life towards me i want the pure form of honesty yeah i corner a girl i'm like do you think i'm a good person that's why like when lois said i was a princess i was like she looks at me and she's like she's magical when lois looked at you she literally was like i'm watching a disney movie and she looked at your tights yeah it was when she slowly touched my tights i was like if i don't have a daughter i'll kill myself we know you're gonna have like the most the most dirty annoying son yeah um i'm looking at my notes i'm like farted at the coffee shop talked about that i need i need some advice from you about organizing my clothes yeah i'm in a minimalist mode hannah i went through all my clothes yesterday and not yesterday i meant like over the past couple of weeks i want to throw everything over out and start over i actually hate everything i've ever worn before i don't know if it's like where we are in our life i think that's what i want everything on i so i was like going through my stuff but it's this people don't talk about there's this kind of piece of clothing that you own that you've worn before you like it but you normally would like probably pick other stuff over it but you can't get yourself to throw it away because like it's been worn and you don't not like it right and i think that is what my closet is full of yes of stuff that like i've i've looked good in it before if you said would you want to wear it tonight i'd say no but i can't get myself to throw it away yeah and like i don't know what to do i feel like my thing is it's like such specific pieces that i'm like i can't wear that but then you're like i'd be so mad if something comes up and that was perfect yes that's what it is or i also i used to have like this thing where if i wore something like outrageous i would be too nervous to wear it i'd be like no like people aren't gonna get it they're gonna think it's ugly or like whatever see I love you in those and my mom like tricked me when at a very young age where like I snapped out of that yeah she would always say like whenever I'd have that feeling she would always say if another girl walked in wearing it how would you feel and if the answer was oh I'd feel so jealous she'd be like then wear it wait that's such a good shopping thing to think if you saw someone else with it but my problem is I have a lot of clothes that I like that like if another person wore i'd be like that's sick but then on me it looks fucking bad that's not true it's just all about like how they style it you're right styling i should i think your new style is going to be i think you need more flowy like pants that aren't jeans you guys see you hate my outfit today no no i don't hate your i mean i don't know what it is i was gonna wear white capris today with a little white t-shirt.

53:28I was so page-coded, but then you could see my white sports bra through the white t-shirt and I panicked. Because you have such a long, beautiful torso, I think you should be more tighter tops and then flowy pants. Like flowy, wide-legged. Not like super wide-legged, though. Like what kind of material are we talking? I don't know. like honestly you know what i'll have my mom make a duck i'm lost i need kim to do a full powerpoint but no you're right like i your silhouette you have such a good box you really like we can work with a good like shape where like i'm like a board and so like it's like i have to wear certain things that makes it look like i have a good like butt but it's like it's not there where you have such a good shape but you never accentuate it and it actually really annoys me that you never show your boobs you sound just like my mom also i was gonna wear capris and show off my boobs today and this is what i ended up in great i was so fucking close have you seen the u.s ice skating championships around i only saw one clip about how like everyone's family died in like a plane crash prior to oh remember that plane crash like what was that last year but it was like a bunch of figure skater families so now it's what it's all of them are competing like people that i didn't know that yeah because the one guy that's like about to go to the olympics he was holding up a picture of his parents and they had died in that flight i think that was like exactly a year ago jesus christ um so anyway that's intense sorry that's a kill the mood but um good context for sure no it's it's you watch these people's like dreams come true as they're like making the olympics or not but i can't stop thinking about heated rivalry and how like in another world these gay hockey players were just ice skaters yeah gay hockey players are just men who like couldn't get themselves to ice skate meanwhile if you're an ice skater and you're with the woman all you're doing is like holding her crotch and spinning her it's like male cheerleaders yes like they're actually the ones who get they're actually fingering them just watch bring it on that's why the male cheerleaders join culture yourself final culture moment that we talked about yesterday that i have to bring up is the rewriting of history of jersey shore we have to apologize no it's i love jersey shore there's nothing that shaped who i am as a person more than jersey shore and you recently met jwow and i've like hung out with jwow i've met like family adjacent to her i actually have like a weird connection with jwow because she's from my hometown and my brother knows like her boyfriend's mom it's like a whole we're sisters she brought her daughter the day we filmed our amazon show which is crazy because we remember before she even met that yeah so being able to talk to her about reality tv is so interesting because we did it in completely different eras of reality tv yes so different they always talk about how like producers were not that involved which because they were so good at the casting I would assume but for whatever reason where reality tv now it's like producers can well they can ruin your life and they know like what they need in an episode so they just get it where back then they were like what could happen but when I recently re-watched Jersey Shore and I was like I actually felt really sad at a moment because I was like, wait, I was a senior in high school.

57:13I would watch this and I would watch Ronnie just literally abuse the shit out of Sammy. And everyone would be like, Sammy's so annoying. It was crazy. Looking back now, I'm like, wait a minute. We need to do a formal apology to Sammy's sweetheart because she was enduring like everyone's been through. If that aired now. Well, he immediately. no he'd immediately be obviously removed from the show yeah we literally were like sammy you're no fun he threw her bed outside and we were just like sam again you're crying again sam can you stop complaining you're so annoying she was like she was like i'm gonna leave and everyone was like don't leave don't leave and i was like guys you were all just so mean to her you're like we hate you when she's clearly in this awful relation let her go home and we're just like ronnie's just like having fun and sammy's ruining it for him no and then she was like ron don't make fun of my big toe don't make fun of her big toe you can't throw her bed out of the apartment and come for her looks which leaves me with our mental health moment if a man makes you feel and that's it if a man and move on with your life if a man makes you feel ugly at any moment even if you are ugly in that moment leave him oh that's really good it's so true like remember those relationships where like in theory it should be good but like you just didn't feel good gorgeous around him even though you knew you are yes i actually haven't felt that i feel like since like my early 20s.

58:56Also know those guys who you know you look like shit, but when you're around them, he makes you feel like you're just like a model off duty. That's just like guys being insecure. Wait, before we go, did you see that one TikTok couple that, I actually, we'll insert their names. He's like a chef. Us post-edits, I was just being like, he's a chef and she always has like funny videos and it's like in their family, they just built this like gorgeous house. They've been like a TikTok couple for years. They've been together since they were like 14. She actually made a TikTok and was like We are officially together more years Than we've been apart She found out he was cheating on her and she like immediately left And I just think that's such a good message Anyway that's all I wanted to say No I was really devastated by their divorce I was like wait they were like the only TikTok couple that I was ever like Oh they seem like normal because I felt like They didn't share that much Personal stuff all their videos were like Funny well they couldn't he's in another woman's bed right he was in another relationship he's like hey can't tell you what i did today but there was a lot of people being like let this just be a message like the moment you feel like that or you find something out yeah leave which like but i'm a hypocrite it is yeah it is really hard to leave sammy stayed yeah we've all stayed totally and don't feel bad for staying you'll be fine is our mental health moment of the week enjoy your week you guys i know that we have a second episode coming out on Friday.

1:00:22And love you. Bye.
