Not even bidding at first, just lurking.

0:41I saw a Fendi baguette go for an absolute bargain. Then these Levi's denim shorts popped up, and I had to jump in. Lost my first auction, but then I bid again on the next and won. and that winning feeling, it's such a rush because you know everyone else wanted it too. Meanwhile, on eBay Live, you don't just watch the auction, you're in it. Download the eBay app to watch live, shop live. eBay Live, things people love. Sup, gigglers.

1:09Hannah Berner: Gary, fix the Wi-Fi. Manifest that shit. We can't be managed. The day was fun. I mean, the day just got away from me. what's up my giggly g-wagons i feel like you're you've seen a lot of g-wagons going to the hamptons oh my god it's so many of the same cars um as a fellow driver i'm like hi hi i didn't even put that together like i'm like what in the hell this is the thing i passed on friday and we've moved on congratulations what does it feel like to be a citizen love when you interview me oh like a partially functioning adult yeah like a contributing member of society hopefully i don't contribute too much because then people won't be safe but um you know i thought about this because a lot of people are listening thinking hannah how did you do this how did you overcome your fears where did you take it again wantoa long islands okay i want to let people know mental health moment i passed my driver's test at 33 i i am an inspiration in that you know when you just like define yourself as something like i'm anna i'm many things but driver i am not and i was like she's quirky she's silly but she can't drive and that's hannah like that's who i am and i said who am i to question that i really wish that every time you met someone a 15 second like she's silly she's cool she likes to go to school yeah like it's new girl like and it's just a good day like i wish like you knew what you were getting into kind of like what did they pick tonally like what's the aesthetic it's like a trailer before you go on a date like what the relationship's gonna be no that was me that was my character and then i stopped and i said you know what I can change myself today I can be someone new today and look is it off brand was it off brand for me to get married yeah everyone's still confused about it yeah but you know what I keep people on their fucking toes just when you think you get a hold of me I've changed and I've evolved but I I'd say this summer is my mental health summer of improving as a person you're kidding I didn't know that I didn't say that out loud because it wasn't really happening

3:48Hannah Berner: Sorry Let me just back it up here Was this an intention Nope Let me put it in reverse Let me three point turn it for a minute I know exactly what you're referencing Parallel it for me Parallel it But make sure you check your blind spot

4:10wait why is that gonna stick check your blind spot not me checking my blind spot 800 times the driver says like did you see there's a blind

4:18Hannah Berner: spot you gotta check it again you know that's the one piece of advice my dad gave me before I went to take my road test he was like I think you're gonna fail everyone in our family thinks you're gonna fail but keep checking your blind spot we have the same family we have the same family and for people who don't know I did pass it once when I was 24 but I rammed the curb at the end and my dad was like I don't feel safe with you on the road so I never had actual confidence and I basically was like look I'm getting lessons and I'm actually going to have confidence in my driving and become a good driver yeah Des and I must have parallel parked like a hundred times you know it is a sport like it is actually a sport like there's NASCAR there's F1 like so like it is out of your character to not drive and to also not be like amazing at it I feel like also because I'm from New York City not to play the New York City card but like a lot of my friends don't have licenses right you don't need them so at 33 like I can only be so good at driving with the lack of experience that I've been in a car like at one point Des was like how do you not have spatial awareness and i'm like because i literally never every time i'm in a car do you want to know what it's almost slightly similar to which you hate don't say frisbee skiing no you're so right yeah because you do have to have like you have to check your blind spot you have to have such like spatial awareness and like one mistake you could die one tree you're out wow that got dark but like that's why i love i love jazz i love stand-up you could you kind of mess your way into it make mistakes but keep going this there's no room for error and especially learning older like i feel like when you're 16 you're like all the kids are doing let's go to sonic and well you're also similar to skiing you're not as nervous to fall do you know what I mean like you're not you get right back up you're like oh didn't even know I almost just got off like a one way like oopsie but when you're an adult you're like all everyone will die and when you crash when you're 16 your parents do the paperwork for you like I have to deal with the paperwork now like I didn't realize like I have to deal with insurance one time I was like I think I was like 17 I might have even been I might have even been 18 and I was pulling out of a parking spot and someone was like driving by and I mean I rammed right into them I rammed into like the back of their car though not like I didn't get like their whole family yeah I didn't like t-bone them or anything I literally hit like the bumper but I got out of the car and that was the first time I had ever done that or ever been in like an accident like that fender bender and I I cried so much because I was in such shock of like that.

7:17Hannah Berner: I did that to this lady that she literally was like, it's less hassle to deal with you. And I'm just going to go. She's like, I'm going to pay you to leave me alone. I was like, wait a minute. Let me call my dad. Like, I'll know exactly what to do. I think she also heard my dad being like, God damn it. you go can you hold my hand and we pray to saint anthony together she's like leave me alone don't get religion into this he was like are you kidding me i'm like okay so i like i need to come here i also i had a really bad embarrassing driving test experience when a how old was i a couple years ago where i was practicing with des and des was like you're not ready and I wasn't ready and I was trying to just like wing it like I did the previous one yeah and I just immediately started and took a too tight of a turn and the guy was like you're going too fast and I was too tight of a turn turn around you're done I was like what you're done you're done you're done when I tell you and it's so embarrassing there's a line of like 40 cars everyone's watching you clearly I fucked up so bad he was like I've seen what I needed to see i've seen what i needed to see so like you're embarrassed anyway but of course you know with me it's never there's always a little bit of drama yeah so we get there i'm feeling good i take my beta blocker it's kicking in i'm feeling zen as fuck like the calmest you could be yep and the way the test starts is there's a red light in front of a really busy road and I'm in my head I'm like check your blind spot like make sure you cross over the arms t don't t-bone anyone like I have a bazillion things in my head we're at the red light and all these cars are passing by and then the cars there's no cars but it's still red light and I'm like in my head like I think you're supposed to turn right on red in Long Island but this was I did not factor this into the test like I was like like hard wiring not sure what to do but I'm like it's okay it'll turn red eventually like i mean it'll turn green soon it felt like 10 minutes i'm sitting in silence with this anyone behind you i think there was but no one was honking but like it was the beginning of the test and i just basically was like i couldn't get myself to go on a red light like i just felt i just freaked out and just froze well because that is too not to defend you no but like in new york it is different all over like in new york city you can't go right on red in in albany you can go right on red in long like i don't know if you can in my head you can't you're supposed to but i don't because when in doubt i will be fearful yeah when in high pressure situations i will be scared and i was immediately like i'm not going i'm not moving yeah i will freeze when a challenge comes my way i will be paralyzed i'm paralyzed i will fold like a cheap beach chair under the pressure so des is watching this like oh my fucking god like he's like she's already how is he watching so he leaves the car and he's standing there and watching me leaves to start the test okay it's so embarrassing then also you know me i'm like do i make a joke like so the guy looks at me i give him my id and he looks at me and he goes is this you which was a weird thing to say but i was wearing my hair in a ponytail so i go yep that's just me with the ponytail now and he like kind of giggled because the gigglers told me to put my hair up and wear long earrings so they can see that you're checking all your mirrors no the gigglers are witches i pulled all the stops i have and they were sardine you've never worn a long earring in your never i've ordered sardine earrings you would have hated them but it made me like funny but also grounded you know like i love animals she loves classical music like i was trying to be someone i wasn't in this road test what was the outfit that you picked oh my god so my driver shout out greg who i have to get a present for him so stressed he told me not to dress too nice okay as a woman so like they said the men to dress nice like button up but if you're a woman if you dress too like sexy they judge you it's like literally female stand-ups so he's like oh my god that's what he said so i just wore like a t-shirt and i'll say i wore basically what i'm wearing right now i looked like a teenager a t-shirt and shorts t-shirt and shorts hair ups or dean earrings okay she know they said out loud i don't trust that girl i don't trust her at all she's up to something she's trying too hard nothing makes sense you're not driving my child to school no you're making me die so so wait four hours for this red to turn green no but it felt like we're literally in silence and i'm like you know i've i've when was the last time i sat in silence no i'm literally i have tears so i get on the road and i am in the zone like i'm like you've trained your you've trained all week for this and like also i didn't have to tell the gigglers like i could have done this like undercover but yeah and yes it added it added so much more stress to my life but it also well the reward is so much greater yeah and it also i'm sure relieved a lot of stress relieved stress also i felt like if i failed at least it would be good content for giggly squad thank god thank god so honestly like i was feeling myself i was turning he goes parallel park i did it pretty far away from the curb like didn't try to get fancy and then i drove up nailed the three-point turn like beautifully yeah those are always my favorite no i actually was starting to have fun with it i was like you were like making it your own then you know when you start showing off and you're like i'm gonna do one more blind spot check just for fun i'm gonna twerk back it up you need anything you're good okay welcome to the hanamobile so then we're turning back and i'm feeling like i'm feeling the happiest i've ever felt in my life like better than my netflix special like i i don't know i'm like dreams you come true euphoria i'm euphoric but i'm also high as fuck on beta blockers also is that legal anyway so then he goes okay pull in and does is standing there and immediately i'm like do not hit the fucking curb like do not hit the fucking curb so i like pull in and i'm like beautiful far far from the curb i'm pretty far from the curb okay which is not good yeah but i'm like i nailed my parallel park i nailed all my turns but then the guy is like we don't tell you if you passed or failed um you'll see it online tonight at 6 p.m because apparently new yorkers have been assaulting the testing people when they failed like the guys like you failed they'd be like what the fuck you talking about and like fight them it's not funny it's not funny it's truly disgusting is what it is but also also i need andy and a camera because what the fuck do you mean that the goddamn dmv can't tell you if you passed or failed because they're afraid for their lives also like i'm wearing sardine earrings like i'm not hurting anybody i'm like a cat i'm more scared of you than you are you know like but i also i i do understand like i don't want the people feeling like if they tell someone they failed that they might get hurt that's fucking crazy that's insane but then i have to have diarrhea for the next six hours right it's like okay well why don't you send me the email and like also like can you give me a blink like give me like a like yeah like okay but yeah like give me something give me a smile literally be a girl's girl for once in your life like do you support women do you already know it's hard for us to drive you already know we're struggling out here and you you already know also i'm pms i'm pmsing so bad actually my period was four days late so i'm pregnant at that point okay i'm like i have literally something sorry where's the baby on board sticker mind you the second i passed my test i got my period because you know when your body's like so stressed out it like can't even ovulate so anyway he leaves the car and i walk out of the car and i look at des and i'm like she's that girl i was like she did it he goes that's crazy because the beginning and the end the only parts i saw you completely fucked up no and that man keeps you humble and that man grounds me no keeps your feet firmly planted and it's it's beautiful but then we obviously go to a diner after as one does after you take a road test in wansaw you find the nearest diner and we sit there and i'm like i passed and he's like you didn't take a right on red and you like we're 200 feet from the curb at the end he goes that can't be good so then we're googling like we're deep in red it's a series of points right and it's literally not to say like i'm an olympian but like it's giving simone biles gymnastics yeah you made one mistake but how many points do they feel like deducting that day because yeah if you do one bad turn they could also deduct for careless driving or like they could look yeah the world is really their oyster they can get on power trips and this man gave me nothing now that you passed they should probably probably be replaced by ai oh like driving tests okay page that's sorry did i go too hard and actually well let's have your job taken away and you're done but also i were mean to my friends and so now i'm sending a robot but also i was trying to wait until like you basically get self-driving cars and they basically have like self-driving cars now but anyway that's a whole nother scary issue so we're sitting at the diner literally like people saying like yeah if you don't turn a right on the red that's considered like um slowing down traffic which is 10 points and i'm i've convinced myself i failed at that point because i've does who's you know foot is on my neck like my my biggest op my biggest op at that point doesn't believe in me thinks i'm lying about it going well he goes so with the parking spot how good did you park i was i did it i did it i didn't then i'm questioning myself i'm like did i do it no and this is how they get you this is how they get and this is part of the driving test you have to fight your own demons yeah oh my god so then i'm going to my mom's play on shelter island for the historical society she wrote she wrote directed acted sang in it you are literally a woman about town this summer like you have galas you have historical societies like you're wearing vivian westwood on a on a saturday evening like i'm like who is this person i'm a suburban mother no you truly are i'm a suburban mother and i yeah i'm not working but somehow i have the busiest summer i've ever had in my life but i had to support my mother and you know that's the only thing that i will drop everything for drop everything for as she would for me as she would for me um right before her play like you have to keep checking yeah it's like getting into college literally or like an std test yep but you're crazy because you were like tell me what time you find out and i was

we're car shopping have you driven since next day we go car shopping shortly realized to test drive the guy goes in the car with you and i'm like bro i respectfully this is it's ptsd i just did this no because he's like make it right up here and i'm like what are you judging me also like how many points huh how many points i feel like why do you have to i was like can you not watch can you look over there when i turn like don't look at me when i'm driving were you by yourself i was with dez in the front and then like the guy would be in the back and he'd be like yeah take a right up here and i'm like sir yeah please i've been around the block before i've driven before i drove yesterday so we Dez and I have solar panels.

20:58Hannah Berner: Imagine if you said like, oh, this is where I learned to drive, like in this parking lot. And he'd be like, oh, my God, are you from here? Like, did you go to high school? You're like, literally yesterday. Dez literally was like, she just passed her driving test. And the guy's like, oh, nice. And Dez is like, yesterday. And he's like, are you worried? And I'm like, no, but you should be. I just like kept joking. But also driving a new car you've never drove is like. Yeah, yeah. No, you have to do it. nervous like i couldn't figure out some things i was nervous but we want to get an electric car for me um why am i fucking with the kia are you there's like a kia e6 that like looks cool because i don't think i should get a nice car des is not a nice car guy no he is but he's look I can get whatever car I want but he's like maybe we get a starter car before you get a big I mean I didn't really think that like yeah it is kind of like giving a 16 year old like look should I get a Lambo and let the gigglers just like hang off the side of it yeah and run around New York City with my top down yeah literally if there's any car that I could vote for you to get it's like a 2016 hummer i go i want an electric kia and you go no get it get a hummer wait i used to want one of those so bad and my dad was like those things don't even fit in new york city you can't even like no you're not getting a freaking hummer try parallel parking with that that was the car i wanted but that was also like a very specific time in our culture where there was like It was literally for six months I wanted it.

22:42There was like the bedazzled phones.

22:44Hannah Berner: Which I had to do. And the Hummer. The Motorolas. So, yeah, I'm thinking of like an electric car. And I'm going to keep testing them. But it's fun. I feel like an adult. Like I feel like. No, I mean, you are. 16 to 30. It's crazy how fast they grow up. I'm like grown. And I feel like, I don't know, like I'm like telling people directions now. I feel like I have been like we live in each other's brains because like recently now I'm like I haven't driven in so long. Do I remember how to drive? And like I started getting nervous. No, don't let my insecurities creep up on you. But I do have to say I've been getting messages from gigglers being like, hey, I'm 38.

23:26I never drove. But if you could do it, it's given me confidence that I could do it. And I said, you know what? Period. So anyone stay off the roads right now because the gigglers are experimenting.

23:37Hannah Berner: No, it's nice to like be somewhere and be like, oh, I can leave because I can drive myself. I have been really into rings recently and I've been obsessed with stacking.

24:36Hannah Berner: You guys know I'm somehow always spilling something on myself. The other day I dumped an entire caramel latte down the front of my favorite sweater literally as I was walking out the door. I was like cool I guess I can never wear this again but I threw it in the wash with Tide Evo and I was genuinely shocked that it got the coffee stain out. So what even is Tide Evo? It's a brand new super concentrated laundry detergent that's built differently to be Tide's Best Clean. It dissolves quickly with water and is made of thousands of tiny fibers that are spun together in six powerful cleaning layers to fight odor, stains, and extra work.

I love finding new products that actually make life easier, and Tide Evo has definitely earned a spot in my laundry routine. Whether my clothes have a stain or not i'm using tide evo try the new tide evo super concentrated laundry detergent today can we talk about something for a second you know when you get into a ride share and you're immediately like doing the full mental assessment like what are the vibes it smell okay am i going the right direction no and i have like a literal checklist and if you're offering me a water bottle i'm not taking it keep it to yourself dude keep it to yourself i hate when i get in a car and my adrenaline spikes which is why Waymo has genuinely changed the game for us.

Why are those giant bottles so unnecessarily huge? They're awkward to carry, they leak everywhere, they take up my entire laundry shelf and honestly they're kind of ugly. Then I found out some liquid detergents are apparently like 80 % water and I was like what? That honestly explains a lot because I feel like my clothes never smell as fresh as I want them to So when I found Tide Evo, I was like, wait, this actually fits my life. It's compact, streamlined, and easy to use.

27:29Hannah Berner: There's no plastic bottles, no drips, no sticky caps, and no water added. It's 100 % concentrated, which is why it's built differently to be Tide's best clean.

29:39Hannah Berner: It was, I felt like I was really like risking whatever. So on the invitation, it said 1940s themed. Like it was 1940, the red carpet was supposed to be like 1940s glamour. So I was like, oh, if there's a theme, I'm doing the theme. And then when I walked in, I was like, oh, okay. So no one else wanted to do the theme. Got it. So like that is what first happened to me. So you never mind being the most well-dressed in the room. Oh, being overdressed. Yeah, you never mind it. I would take being overdressed than underdressed any day of the week. True. Like I'd rather walk in someplace and people be like, oh my God, why is she wearing that here?

30:21Hannah Berner: And it'd be like a ball gown rather than like my. See, like me walking somewhere in a ball gown and everyone's in normal clothes. That's my panic attack. It was so funny. like they are 100 % going to get asked to host the Golden Globes. They, I don't want to give too much away because it's airing.

34:09Hannah Berner: Okay, well, as a longtime Stanley drinker, I would classify myself as, I went through this, like, epiphany a couple months ago, and so I ended up ordering, like, a bunch of extra straws. Yeah, you just throw it away. I throw them away, or, like, I, then I can, like, rotate washing them, because it's like, okay, well, I can't take 15 minutes out of my day every day to deal with the stanley situation like what do i look like you know i don't have kids i don't have to go as hard like well you they have like stanley straw cleaners that you can buy which again that's above my pay grade like that's so organized to be like oh time to clean the straw let me use my accessory like we're not doing that we're not doing everything in the dishwasher i'm doing it the normal way like with it in the faucet whatever yeah you you pull out and pray pull out and pray i feel like i have so many stanleys now that i just like started rotating them yeah yeah and i i was like because i can't in your apartment so big you can fit so many stanleys as in like five of them i literally think i might have five stanleys do you know what this made me think about what happened to juicing like juice cleansing yeah and like do remember when juices were like the thing like every block in new york city was a juice store and then the girls woke up it was gwyneth paltrow remember when gwen would do that like crazy juice cleanse and she would say she would do it like once a year yeah but then like people were doing it like every day you should have a green juice and all this stuff and now like one day woke up no juices anywhere remember when everyone was doing celery juice yeah that's that was disgusting disgusting celery juice is disgusting at least to a fruit the thing with juicing is i think i think it like was it was a trend it was such there was so much sugar when you like did that to the fruits and vegetables it was actually like a lot of calories it's like just eat an apple yeah and so i think it just kind of fell off you don't need nine apples which you know it's so crazy and this is way above our pay grade this is above our pay grades pay grade yeah why do the composition of fruit like the sugar in fruit change when you blend it into like a smoothie or like juice it into a juice it's like who told you to be that self-aware as a fruit I feel like it loses nutrients when you yeah how I guess because that oh my god my brain just malfunctioned like it gets like oh my god ow something hurts no I hurt something in my head I pulled something in my fucking forehead you glitched there was just like wow power down power you know so that like because i would drink a smoothie every single day but i just feel like they're not actually good for you no it's dessert and i'm already so i eat way too much sugar like i love sugar i love a banana strawberry smoothie but my like trick is to throw peanut butter in it because then it tastes like a fucking cookie and turns out you shouldn't be having like tons of peanut butter every day in your smoothie like hey also also turns out you that acai bowls like not that good for you okay then stop marketing them with the other healthy bullshit why is a girl wearing a sports bra holding the acai bowl if it's ice cream literally in the equinox it's a hot fudge sundae it's a hot fudge sundae the peanut butter i'd get in those i love that shit no i fucking love and then they put cacao nubs on it cacao nibs that's chocolate babe you're just no that's chocolate it's chocolate um an acai just because that chocolate is like european does not mean that you can't set boundaries just because it's crushed up differently it's the same it's the same so anyway we're just warning you guys don't be tricked like don't get tricked i don't know how we got here but i do want to speak on something yeah the justin bieber album have you listened so I did listen but it was like in a car and the car was kind of loud and it was kind of low so I didn't have like the right experience

38:47Hannah Berner: you know and like it wasn't ideal totally no I totally get it I feel like one I think it's amazing I love it like I think every song is so good and I think that the people some people that are hating on it are millennials that like and i'm a i love being a millennial i think that wanted like his dance music that he did when he was like 13 and i don't want that justin bieber like i love this new era new vibe i'm obsessed with him i think he's also like a genius um i do think this album is like really good pilates music for like the beginning of the session when you're like you're getting into it and you need to get hyped but you don't want to be like too pumped up it's like perfect like daisies yeah and then and then you're getting the pelvis involved yeah and then you're lifting the glutes sorry i've been my i've been doing a lot of lately um oh my god wait that you're really you've been really describing things today that are just like spot on i feel like wait that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me because i actually like i'm bad at this i'm bad at words in general um but i'm working on it we but justin bieber also this is the thing i feel like real music people really like it but then there's like top 40 people who are like where's the chorus because there's like totally and he's a chorus master like he could make anything sound like a bop so he almost like he's choosing to be like let me take you on this lyrical journey and i don't think i'm creative in a musical sense whatsoever i'm simply just an observer of what i think sounds good to my ears or not like so i wouldn't know about a chorus or about you just like the vibes i like the vibes were you high no okay no i've listened to it a lot like i've actively gone on my spotify and played it we don't talk about like how good his tone of voice is no and i'm not even being nostalgic it just is a good voice well and also like as his voice has changed obviously like as he's gotten older he's still like it still sounds good yeah yeah speaking of boyfriends slash husbands des and i had an interesting moment the other day because he sent me something and i pulled it up on my phone and he was like why is my name des bishop in your phone and i was like that's your name and he was like you have my government name in your phone and i was like when i met you i put your name in and that's what happened yeah and then he showed me his phone and it's burn with like a heart because i think i put that in as that's how i did it yeah and he kept it which is cute but this is the question is it psychopathic that i have my husband's government name no no i think look that's your name no i have so many friends who are like married and for like a couple years and i still have like katie's boyfriend cam and i'm like like i'm not changing that to his government name or like who or like her husband you know like I feel like it's how you had it in before it's very nostalgic yeah yeah that's fate I agree also I've been dabbling with manifestation as you know for years now yes and I wrote I will pass my driving test like 400 times I saw that because Coco Groff wrote I will win the French Open and she did and it's like pretty similar so I realized if little ways of manifesting is to set your phone background to something that's like channeling what like a mood I think your phone background because you look at your phone 8 ,000 times a day yeah is a really good opportunity for manifesting I agree with that like don't pick a bad color don't pick a bad image pick positivity I feel like also just like writing you don't even have to write it 400 times but if you have it in your phone somewhere and you've written it down and you I don't even feel like you have to go and look at it like I feel like it just like that energy being with you yes love wins love is literally all you need um because I remember this is how I really got hooked on it I one time like wrote down like things I wanted to manifest this was when I lived in like my first apartment and I lived in that apartment for like five years so when I finally moved I found that piece of paper because it was like put in some random book and when I looked at the piece of paper I had done all of the things but like I had forgotten about that I mean I don't even know where it went I really have chills and that's when I really like started getting hooked on it and so then I would always like write down what like my manifestations hooked on phonics no do you know my brother used to call me that when i was in middle school because i couldn't read

44:05oh god no the bullying was so important funny no it was so important not only was it important

44:13Hannah Berner: for my growth but people who haven't been bullied are not like fully grown developed they're not developed if you haven't been bullied like what have you dealt with in your life and like bullied by like people who know you no like they know it's really important to be bullied specifically by your siblings i think by someone that knows you in and out and can really find the the root cause yeah the root cause the weaknesses right there um i don't want a random person tell me something that's not bullying no my brother has literally like in my literal in my almost 33 years of knowing him he has been able to like change the course of my life with one word like i've had boyfriends before and like we'll be somewhere and my brother will like lock eyes with me across the room he'll say one word and i will have to immediately break up with the next day.

45:20Hannah Berner: So like the bullying, it does not end and I'm actually more thankful for it now. No, because he's a real one. Yeah, because he's like, if no one's going to tell you, mom's not even going to tell you, guess what? Hey, guess what? Everyone in the family is too scared to tell you. Like that's how most of my phone calls start out. I feel like with my brother, hey, guess what everyone's been talking about?

45:47you guys look we've all had a meeting and this is what we've come up the high council has come together and they've decided that uh you're done you're done i do think that what's interesting is we have the same family dynamic of a boy a girl and parents and i feel like it's great because there's i love that you can turn on anyone at any time like we can all turn on dad totally we can do us versus the parents it could be the girls versus the boys like there's so many good teams that can

46:18Hannah Berner: be built you learn camaraderie and you learn that life has ever changed alliances change in a second and then when the siblings turn on each other that's that's when shit gets dark because yeah you're not strong without each other the parents they don't normally have each other's back so So when you lose each other, then it's haywire. Yeah. Then it's scary. I do think, obviously not that I'm a parent, but like my mom genuinely wouldn't let me and my brother fight for longer than like a couple hours or like a day. Like we never like ended the day fighting, you know? And I think that like is important for siblings.

47:00Yeah. I mean, I feel like I never fought with my brother that much. He would just like, we'd be like annoyed.

47:06Hannah Berner: Gary would just like beat me up but like we didn't like what were we fighting about but that was I think that's like important I remember what we'd fight about Nintendo Nintendo was the source of all our drama as kids yeah because I would play Pokemon and there was this is a thing look I come from humble beginnings god forbid we had two Nintendos we had one Nintendo that we had to fight for every second of the day and look I was stronger you know what's funny is like thinking about having kids now what is how do you as the parent how do you know what the cool toy is for that age group oh because yeah you can't like ask what are the kids doing because they're like three and can't talk yeah like how do you know what to get i guess you have to start reading like crazy is like their toy stories aren't a thing anymore do you remember that as like a child going like the first time you ever toy stores could really remember going into like a big toy store that you were just like what the fuck is this is toys r us gone gone you have to find mom and pop shops now it's ai now no it's so sad to me like i had to order a friend like a friend's kid's toy and i was like i guess i'll just get it on amazon like i don't know and you like look at what charts the highest but yeah and honestly kid stuff does well but that's what mommy vloggers are for to be like hey yeah also there are kids who are like really really famous on youtube like a five-year-old boy is like hugely famous reviewing kids all he does is like they put a toy in front of him and he's like he'll be like gladiator yes or no and the toy companies would be like no jeremy didn't like it we're fucked we're fucked no i don't want to ever get into that world old one thing i do miss though is going with your friends to rent a movie yeah that is like a very i think about that's probably one of the number one like nostalgic outings that i think about the most because you're like tonight's gonna be fucking crazy and we're getting this we're getting the spice girls movie for the 18th time and it's gonna be He's so fucking good.

49:31And one of us is going to fall asleep and the other one is going to puke from eating too much candy.
