4:02Hannah Berner: It is funny to think of like your siblings, even like your close friends. Like whenever I see like a TikTok or a meme or something that's like, wait, my friend is a teacher. And that's just like hilarious to me. Like it is weird to think of the people closest to you. My little brother's a father. Like, okay, you're child rearing? Sure. Sure you are, dude.
4:25Paige DeSorbo: I love looking at his daughter being like, your dad is my little brother. I beat him up.

6:16Hannah Berner: right like let's change all of our measurements like let's have any consistency but you know what
6:21Paige DeSorbo: it is it's to trick people to run these races they're like it's it's just a 5k it's just 5k so she looks at me and she's like let's just let's start with a jog and then if you're tired we can walk now mind you yes i've been playing some tennis yes no yeah that's all i've been doing

8:00Paige DeSorbo: right now but this is let me just explain my mom the bitch is fit yeah she is i apologize for calling my mom a bitch on this podcast but she knows it's in an endearing way but she deserved it this weekend because she was laughing she thought so she and she looked at me and she's good at running like she's she's light on her feet she has slow twitch muscles she's like so we start jogging and I'm like okay like this is this is bad and I only have to do this for like an hour longer and there's like little kids passing me there's like old people passing me like there's all types of people passing me and they're running and they're running but you know what I'm healed like I'm my healed era where like back in the day if someone passed me I'd be like I can't let that 12 year old pass me I'm gonna beat them but now I say you know what that's not my journey today but she's there and she's like come on let's speed it up so we run one mile and i'm dying
8:57Hannah Berner: i mean come on what is this eighth grade like no and also i'm like this was supposed to be a
9:02Paige DeSorbo: beautiful weekend of bonding we're by the way no music just silent me and her running silent and i in my head i go what would page do right now and i go page wouldn't even put herself in this situation so this is why i stay alert i would have seen that line of questioning from
9:19Hannah Berner: lenore and knew i was getting into a bad situation because in my head i was like she wouldn't ask
9:24Paige DeSorbo: this of me right you're like this is my mom this is but she knows that i love her and in that moment she's like so excited to jog yeah and my fucking dad's standing to the sidelines cheering i was
9:35Hannah Berner: just gonna say that's my favorite part of this whole story is that your dad's like oh yeah my foot hurts like okay sure it does that is literally me and you at any event when we get asked to do
9:47Paige DeSorbo: something and you always are the first one to get out of it and then i'm stuck holding the family together i'm like sorry i just got a uti and just it so i'm i tell her it's like embarrassing but i'm like and i was fit back in my day like my mom and i used to jog together and i said mom i'm a comedian now i can't do this so we stop we're walking and she's like okay you ready to run again and I'm like okay so we're on and off running the whole time and she's rolling her eyes at me she's like you're ruining my time and I'm like I didn't know we're doing a timed mile that's like the number one rule that I told the gigglers I would never do and then she was like okay well don't make fun of me on Giggly Squad and I said well don't do things that would cause me to tell on you on Giggly Squad.
10:36Hannah Berner: I feel like a lot of people say that to us and I'm like okay but I'm an entertainer and what you've just given me is entertaining and in my brain I'm gonna tell the story in a magnificent way you're gonna love it yep but this is my this is my experience and look
10:55Paige DeSorbo: do we protect identities from people who of course of course of course of course however However, mom, I'm throwing your name all over the place because this was disrespectful. And then, well, at the very end, I sprinted and I won. Well, who were you against? My mom. No, but I beat my mom after telling her I needed to walk the whole time. And she was like, why did you sprint? And I was like, because everyone was watching and I couldn't look like a loser.
11:29Hannah Berner: you're like I'm not going through the finish line with people thinking I walked it like that's insane okay it's so funny that we're like on walking tiktok right now but like
11:41Hannah Berner: I went on a walk with my parents this weekend like a couple of times and I think one of like my biggest revelations is that my dad is he beats to his own drum like he He doesn't care. He's like the number one person that like doesn't care what other people are doing. He's like focused on his own, what he's doing, what his family's doing. Like he doesn't know he doesn't care. So like he's never walking into a situation and feeling like embarrassed by anything because he's like, I don't know you and I don't care about you. And I learned that over the weekend when he went walking in jeans. That is so dad.
12:24Hannah Berner: It's so dad because I'm like in my head, I'm like, well, what would he put on other than jeans? And then I'm thinking like, I've never seen my dad. A couple of things. I've never seen my dad get in bed and I've never seen my dad get out of bed. He's just perpetually awake. You've never seen him not in jeans. I've never seen him not in jeans. I've seen him in like a suit pant and a summer linen pant. yeah but like in the winter i'm thinking like oh wait this man only knows jeans yeah and he's so comfortable in them he's so comfortable in them they're perfectly broken in he should be in a levy's commercial did i pronounce it right levi's sorry i panicked wait that's so cute does your dad
13:15Paige DeSorbo: also like when he's hanging around the house sometimes if he is wearing shorts like he pulls it up like too high that's just my dad no i've never seen him in shorts wait what no the only
13:27Hannah Berner: type of shorts i've seen him in are like khaki shorts yeah he might have like a white pair of
13:32Paige DeSorbo: linen shorts i kind of want to send him like a full lululemon tracksuit like windbreaker matching him or like in a velvet tracksuit like so italian don't get my brother started he he has zero
13:46Hannah Berner: athleisure that's what it is he has zero athleisure so he doesn't work out what does he do to work out he walks and drinks coffee his metabolism is fast but he is you that's what you do okay well that was the other thing over the weekend um the segment what pissed me off this week is just talking about that segment as a whole that's just like taken from my real personality in my real life like of talking to my mom because like if i'm talking to my mom i'm telling her multiple things that have pissed me off in the past couple of days and this weekend I was popping off about something like in the comfort of my own home with my parents and I'm like and that couldn't and like there was a lot of like and then she did this and so it was a lot of hands it was a lot of facial expressions I swore a lot FOMO but not at anyone just like no telling a story and my family was like it's just really crazy how like you are your dad and you have the exact same personality and my brother was like i thought dad was like really psycho but you you're so angry like what are you so and my dad goes yeah page i didn't get angry till like my 40s wait i love how he's self-aware you know what's making me fucking angry guys that you think i'm angry i'm obsessed that your dad literally goes
15:09Paige DeSorbo: one day i woke up 40 and i said i'm fucking over this shit i'm done with you i'm done with you i'm done but the first 40 years gary was just like smiley happy whimsical and like he's
15:22Hannah Berner: misunderstood honestly now that they're saying that i'm like him he's misunderstood but i feel like he's not scary i feel like he's not scary at all no he's not scary it's like kim could be scary like Lenore can be scary that's scary more like you're being stupid and that's pissing me off
15:40Paige DeSorbo: yeah like do it right he's always a little mad it it doesn't come across as mad because that's
15:46Hannah Berner: his baseline you know and that's his baseline which is actually how I feel about you yeah like if you're a little too happy I'm like did we take did we slip a pill like last time when you
16:00Paige DeSorbo: were getting your eggs frozen i didn't like that at all yeah like or like the time that i said i
16:03Hannah Berner: was excited to see you in la and you were like your page's phone got hagged this is a scam email
16:10Paige DeSorbo: she's trying to scam text me to click a link okay this is my family after the 5k we go get dinner whatever get home barely enough time to watch tv and you know i like to like have decompressed tv time decompressed thank you wake up in the morning 9 a.m we have to go play nine holes of golf no she's she's running a training camp the 5k family that i try to protect people from and i realize it's in my own home and sometimes it's right under your own nose and sometimes it's your own family from inside the house and then i thought back at things and i said oh my god but this thing that's why there was one ex-boyfriend in particular who i dated who was not athletic but he was like successful in other things and my family was like we don't care my dad was like can you throw the football with a good spiral or not and like he and i literally had to like pull him aside and i was like hey like this isn't a joke this isn't a bit like my dad needs to see how high your vertical leap is it's just part of like our culture he didn't make the cut and like that wasn't my fault it wasn't my family's fault it was his fault
17:25Hannah Berner: And sometimes that happens and sometimes that's not where you're meant to be. If you're like me, then you save a bunch of workout things on TikTok and then you never go back to them. And if you do go back to them, you try and do the moves and you're just like, am I even doing this right? That's why you need ladder. It gives you a real plan from an expert coach. So if you're looking to grow your glutes, grow your biceps, you want to find abs, or maybe you just want a plan for when you're going on vacation this summer, something easy you can do. ladder is an expert strength training plan and it's not a content library these aren't influencer workouts or challenges it's real progressive programming designed by certified coaches and they can do any strength training style you prefer so pilates bodybuilding at home hybrid strength glute focused maybe you have kettlebells you want a whole kettlebell workout plan they can do it for you and the app remembers your weights your reps and sets so you can see yourself getting stronger over time and your team has a group chat where your coach answers questions and members motivate each other.
18:27Hannah Berner: So ladder really is providing a structured workout plan and not random exercises and it's like having a personal trainer in your headphones at all times and it's less than one dollar a day so it's extremely accessible and so much better than a hundred dollars per session with a personal trainer. I also always feel like I want a personal trainer but then I realize I I don't really want to have to interact with somebody else.

There's nothing I love more than seeing someone come into my home and see that I have Honest flushable wipes in the bathroom because honestly, anything can happen in there and I feel confident knowing Honest can handle it. I always keep them stocked because they make me feel so much cleaner and more comfortable than just regular toilet paper and I love that they're safe for my sensitive areas and safe to flush so I don't have to worry about my pipes either.
19:42Hannah Berner: What really makes Honest flushable wipes different is that they're made with a plant-based cloth, so you're not just putting anything on your body. They're super gentle, durable, and honestly, just make such a difference in your routine. So whether it's for your guest or just everyday use, they're one of those things that once you try them, you just can't go back. You can grab Honest Flushable Wipes at Walmart, Target, and Amazon. Okay, real talk. UTIs have genuinely been a thing for me. The burning, the urgency, running to the bathroom every five minutes, and then having to figure out how to get treated fast.
20:14Hannah Berner: It's a lot, which is exactly why I use WISP. WISP has honestly become my go-to for so much more than just UTIs. They're the complete health platform built for women, their partners, and communities. And it's trusted by over 1.8 million people nationwide. We're talking about care for vaginal health like UTIs, BV, yeast infection, and care across every life stage from your first period through to menopause. Their licensed medical providers truly listen and provide real clinical expertise with zero of the barriers that make traditional healthcare so exhausting. And what I love most is that they actually stay with you.
20:53Hannah Berner: No waiting rooms, no starting from scratch every time, no re-explaining yourselves. WISP builds continuity, they know you, and they grow with you. Here's how easy it is. I go to WISP, explore my treatment options, and pick what I think I need or let a WISP provider decide what's best. answer a few questions about my symptoms, then a WISP licensed provider reviews it, and I can have a prescription sent to my pharmacy in three hours or less, or have treatment shipped directly to me. That's it. Real clinical care without the waiting room. And for those of us who deal with UTIs on the regular, I'm also obsessed with their Urinary Track Duo.
21:30Hannah Berner: It's two over-the-counter products bundled together, including daily capsules with green tea and turmeric for everyday protection, plus a pink lemonade drink mix with cranberry extract, D-manos, and vitamin C. It's so delicious. Whether you're managing something acute or just trying to get ahead of your health going into summer, Wisp has something for wherever you're at.

22:32Hannah Berner: Whether I'm on a hot girl walk, heading out on a vacation, or just lounging poolside, my JBL Live headphones are the ultimate summer accessory.

23:52Paige DeSorbo: but i do think playing sports it is good for your mental health when you're not like breaking your racket or like getting in a fight with your family or like throwing your club but overall i had a great time but like my mom tricked me into running a 5k you know that i'm
24:07Hannah Berner: like also fragile right now yeah she used to be more like open when she was telling you she was doing something and now she's gone on full trickery now she's doing full witchcraft remember during
24:17Paige DeSorbo: covid how fit you were though because oh my god she made me go on so many walks oh my god she was feeding me like best nutritional food wait remember during remember when you got your appendix out
24:32Hannah Berner: i feel like we moved on from that like so quickly like I know it was like five years ago but like just send some love my way okay speaking of love great segue of course like of course I was like so angry when they put Love Island USA on at the same time that Love Island UK was on because I was like I can't do two Love Islands at the same time that's like I have a family like I can't be watching 50 episodes so I was like let me start Love Island UK and I'll let Love Island USA rack up a couple whatever I start Love Island UK but then I'm on TikTok and everyone's talking about Love Island USA so I'm like okay let me just like give it a go and here I am now watching two Love Islands you have so much on your plate right now thank god i'm going on vacation next week because i have so much tv i'm being the anchors in which i am beholden to my bed right now because i have two love islands also you can't just watch the
25:39Paige DeSorbo: shows you have to get opinions like you have to immerse myself in the culture yeah i actually
25:45Hannah Berner: would like to take back my stance that i was annoyed that they were on at the same time I actually think it has been so interesting to watch Love Island UK around the same ages. Maybe some are a little younger, some a little older. And Love Island USA at the same time. Again, same ages. I wouldn't be gentle. I'm trying to be gentle. I'm trying. I'm finding it. I'm finding it.
26:14Paige DeSorbo: That's what I tell Lois when she goes to pet a cat. I'm like, gentle. Gentle Lois. Gentle.
26:20Hannah Berner: Gen Z, because here's the thing, Love Island USA, this is now the first batch really of they're all Gen Z. Every single one of them is Gen Z. I think the oldest one is 29 and that's like an older Gen Z. But like the girls that are early 20s, they're there. During COVID, these poor kids were in high school. So they're not having a traditional experience. Do they mention that on the show? Uh, no, not really. I don't think. Well, people were posting things of them from high school and someone was like, this is COVID, like during COVID.
27:00Paige DeSorbo: Because my cousin who had COVID during high school. Yeah. She fully is like self-aware and she's like, our being naughty was just like going outside. Like, yeah, you guys were like experiencing things.
27:13Hannah Berner: I think there's multiple, multiple factors happening. I think there's like the self-aware of people that are like we didn't experience sneaking out getting caught drinking going to a field they had meeting new people they had ring cameras their parents were tracking them it was a totally different experience also add in COVID but the USA version like the one girl used the term lustful the other night and I since this is a religious podcast because we talked about religion like the past two i was like what 22 year old girl is being like i'm not a mormon wife she goes i'm not lustful and it's like bib you're on love island all we want you to do is lust over everyone they every single couple is the same from the day they got in there which is unheard of in the love island world they're about to go to casa more and it's like we're like are you guys even gonna well i
28:18Paige DeSorbo: know that one girl came in she's so pretty soul and then soul and then she just got kicked off and she was like it's okay i've been to 10 schools and like i'm used to people not accepting me
28:29Hannah Berner: here's the other part love island is about watching them form connections and so you're interpreting me in the middle of my dissertation no i'm laughing that like you are the i'm passionate mouthpiece oh i'm so passionate i was like an og 2015 watcher i'm passionate and uk is very like currently their season is sticking to the original model like it shows more conversations it shows people falling like for each other and here's the other thing they're all very honest in the uk like They're saying to each other, these are my top three. This is who I'm going after. And the girl who's coupled with that person could be sitting right there.
29:15Hannah Berner: But they're all very open and honest. USA, the girls all feel like they're faking it with each other and their partners.
29:24Paige DeSorbo: Oh, interesting.
29:26Hannah Berner: The next thing I would like to say. There's two men. There's two men on Love Island USA.
29:30Paige DeSorbo: I knew you were about to speak about a man by your face.
29:33Hannah Berner: There's two men on Love Island USA. say and look if they said this season is for the bisexuals i'd be like hell yeah let's see some let's see some switch-ups with the girls and the guys but what's happening currently right now is
29:46Paige DeSorbo: there's two gay men on the show was that the ones checking out each other's wieners sorry i've
29:52Hannah Berner: noticed wiener before my life he said and let me quote this girth check opens his pants guys guy looks in it does like a good facial expression cut to next scene the guy says would you think about what you saw other guy responds long other guy goes i wasn't even like fully erect i was at a semi i go what what's happening here i go are we like are you guys trying to make us feel stupid these guys be what you want be together though but like don't come and love bisexual love island
30:29Paige DeSorbo: where you don't know who's that would be amazing i would love it that would why is that not a thing wait so are you saying you like the uk better show yeah but i've always liked uk better sometimes
30:43Hannah Berner: it's bad luck with a group totally this year's casting was was interesting because sometimes
30:50Paige DeSorbo: like a group mentality forms where like someone is being a little like this is how i feel and then everyone's like oh i guess we have to do that where if one person that's like what they say with stand-up comedy if there's one like really good laugher everyone else feels like they can laugh so if you have someone in the group that's holding people back that could be a bad a bad thing um but i love the honesty of the uk the uk is so honest and they're having like
31:15Hannah Berner: conversation like they just show you more of their conversation so you can feel when people are like falling for someone else or whatever usa is also it's almost like they're very aware of how you win the show and who becomes an influencer which of course they all want to be influencers yeah but i think that's why they're all sticking with their original partner and it's like okay but that's not
31:37Paige DeSorbo: the point like oh because they want people to like stand their relationship yeah but they all did it
31:44Hannah Berner: so it's like we we know that you all don't like each other because if you leave then you could
31:49Paige DeSorbo: be a villain if you say like i'm not into this anymore and then people are mad at you it's also like that's what the game is are they having sex in the villa some of them are yeah what's also funny about people dating in their early 20s like love island would be so different with people in their 30s because first of all like you know exactly what you want like you talk to a guy for three seconds and be like i'm so sorry i don't want to waste your time here yeah i can't do this i've done this actually already and it wasted three years of my life i can't do this with you and you're not going to change and you're already 34 so like we already see what we have to see and then it's like with the with your 20s no one knows who they are so how do you know what you want when you don't even know like well they don't know what they want that's why i would love
32:31Hannah Berner: if this season was just like fully bisexual because i'm like they're they're pointing it right in our face there's no way the editors don't know that we're thinking that they're picking these like clips to show on the show and it's like wait they should just be a couple i love that for them though like if there's anyone that loves a guy that loves another guy it's me honey you can tell me it's pride month yeah hello literally the best month of the month anyway so i've been deep in like two different versions of love island it's so intense and then my brother made me start this show with him so i watched four episodes this weekend can i guess yeah widow's bay no but on apple tv no idea cape cape town cape fear oh i do have to say apple tv doesn't put out a lot their quality not quantity honey top notch i'm watching this show and it is one of those shows where you're like oh yeah these are good actors like the acting in it is so and i'm not one that like loves a thriller it's not really my vibe but um martin scorsese direct is like the director and the main guy is i always forget his name but he's married to penelope cruz what the heck is his
33:56Paige DeSorbo: name oh javier bardem yes yeah that's my friend is it i interviewed him once oh i'm like how do
34:05Hannah Berner: you know me and javier are going back people don't talk about them enough as a couple like when you know what people are like oh my god my celebrity couple if they break up i'll die like no one mentions them it should be them well they're like so good looking but it's an example of if you want to stay out of the spotlight you can well i don't think they live in america exactly like think about the odds of both of them becoming as famous as they are and like getting together and they both like speak the same language it's just like very I think their story is very beautiful and no one ever talks about it and they have kids yeah I don't think I've ever seen their kids I love them I think they have a boy and a girl I love them so anyway I'm watching that show and it's really
34:49Paige DeSorbo: scary and weird but i like it i watched the gilded age the first couple episodes with my mom who are my mom well my mom was making me do all these things that i don't normally do um the outfits are so chic they were just filming in albany new york honey oh people don't talk about back then like if you were rich you had a ballroom how cunty is that you had a ballroom and
35:17Hannah Berner: you were like had to throw a party at least once a year and they were obsessed with charities
35:24Paige DeSorbo: like having charity parties and basically how all the new yorkers who were like old money new yorkers didn't like in 1890 when the new money new yorkers came in they were like you're a new money bitch or how about how they talk about like downtown they're like no no go downtown that would be
35:44Hannah Berner: insane and it's just like the it's the best show ever that's another show where the acting is
35:50Paige DeSorbo: phenomenal carrie coon is that her name i fucking love her and the older lady whose sister's cynthia nixon cracks me up she hasn't smiled once i'm obsessed with her as a brunette obsessed with her as brunette also name drop i went to high school with louisa jacobson and louisa and i were in a play together and her mom is Meryl Streep and Meryl Streep watched me in a play did anything come of it no was it possibly the worst day of her life it could have been
36:21Hannah Berner: but Meryl Streep was watching me act back in the day imagine Meryl Streep having to sit down and watch your performance of anything like I would be I'm like no I can't do it in front of me imagine Meryl Streep was like let me come to Giggly Squad Live I'd cancel the whole tour
36:37Paige DeSorbo: wait i'd be like can you just turn your head right now i can't take this i can't focus right now you actually can't come to giggly squad no louisa was on the tennis team with me and yeah just so funny like how you never forget a face like she actually looks the same as she did in high school and um that's my claim to fame that was my claim to fame and when i was when i went to polyprep for two years and that was where there were a lot of like richer families that were there and i was on my little tennis scholarship and that's when a girl lost her chanel and i asked the teacher who chanel was i said chanel's lost can someone find chanel my god they were like who's this alien that just transferred who's sending their fucking 13 year old with chanel
37:23Hannah Berner: earrings to school okay they could be vintage like they could be but that's so new york that's
37:30Paige DeSorbo: very new york city yeah also i don't understand time periods like i'm like anything before 2000 i'm like that was the 1800s yeah i love a period piece though you know i love a period piece but like 1890 i didn't realize the colors these women would wear because i guess all the photos did they have photos were like black and white so like i didn't realize they were wearing like
37:51Hannah Berner: vibrant colors all the time oh yeah i guess i've never thought of that she's in like some purple
37:58Paige DeSorbo: ass dress i'm like i didn't know they had purple in 1890 oh you thought they were all just wearing black i thought everything was black and white i'm just kidding but i didn't i didn't i thought it would be like light colors like a light pink or like a light light blue these bitches were wearing orange they were also wearing like like they were getting dressed in the morning like
38:19Hannah Berner: they had to course it up they had to like do a skirt do a dress over yeah then you had to get your hair done like i would have hated it are you kidding the my would have been like i'm out hannah my dream is to have a ladies maid like someone who are you fucking kidding me you know i love a period piece so like i've done so i know so many ladies maids like characters
38:46Paige DeSorbo: are this is that like she just goes around with you to make sure everything's okay yeah she just
38:50Hannah Berner: like literally vibes with you and she it's basically like your assistant and she's just like your friend and she comes in she helps you get dressed and she helps you get undressed and you gossip with her she helps you do your hair she like helps you find the latest fashion and if you're not married she like chaperones you so she could like get into mischief with you and i just feel like in a past life i either was a lady's maid or i had a lady had a lady's maid because i feel very connected to the ladies maid situation i feel very connected to a dl jester no but corsets were like unsafe okay you know what's also crazy about like watching gilded age is that's anderson cooper's family like people don't people don't people don't enough talk about it like that's literally he is the descendant of the vanderbilts and i'm pretty sure that's crazy could you imagine could you imagine being able to like remember when you were obsessed with that mormon website for a minute what was that mormon website you like literally went on and
39:58Paige DeSorbo: on about family family search.org and everyone got like a virus from it
40:04Hannah Berner: everyone's social security numbers have been stolen but we learned a lot imagine being able to just like google your family's history like so easily like him like well the gilded age is cool
40:16Paige DeSorbo: because it's all actual people right like the asters yeah the asters were real people the
40:21Hannah Berner: russells are based on i think the vanderbilts they the russells aren't a real family i don't think
40:28Paige DeSorbo: but the asters are real it's also so funny like she gets this like corner mansion and they're all like who'd you get to as your architect and she's like some guy from france and i'm like rich people are always the same like that's the same conversations rich people like oh who did your home decor yeah who did your who did your gardening also they had they had horses yeah and they sent cunty little letters to each other like it seems like roommates like well they would
40:57Hannah Berner: have a footman a footman would like bring your letters to different my ears are ringing and the doctor gigglers would say get that checked okay and some bitch better shut up about me see i always assume it's an ex-boyfriend not a girl i don't know none of my ex-boyfriends like
41:15Paige DeSorbo: can form sentences so do you know what's so annoying about my ex-boyfriends a crazy high percentage of them and i'm not trying to brag it's more like because they're i don't know what type of guys they are do not have social media or like any online presence like the last thing they have is like their high school sport they played and every now and then i try to check up on some of them and i'm like what like ghosts like literal ghosts but it means they're straight i
41:43Hannah Berner: think we're so same same but different because like i also haven't seen any of my ex-boyfriend's social media in years but that's because i'm fully blocked so like i don't know if they have social media or not i have not taken a gander i have not even looked also i feel like you get to a point where like it's it's even past the point of icked out by that person you literally forget that they exist so like if you see something you're like oh my god good for you that you're still kicking
42:16Paige DeSorbo: completely different man than i yeah i'm like i actually don't even know who that person is and like the one thing if you really want to find something though on an ex yeah find his mom's facebook and you'll find a really bad photo of him at thanksgiving like that's that's that's the t as you guys know butter is my literal everything i would do anything for her and i would do anything to extend her life okay i can't even look at her and think about that she's eight years old right now. No, I don't even like to think of her age ever. Anyway, then I discovered Smalls. Smalls is a fresh cat food brand made for cats and only cats.

You know that on occasion when I host at my apartment first and foremost I have to check with Daphne and I also have to stock up on Arm & Hammer hardball cat litter. Yes Daphne is my cat but let's be honest she's really my boss and she's not going to let just anyone come into the house and smell her cat litter especially not people that she doesn't know and that's why we both agree on Arm & Hammer cat litter.
45:52Hannah Berner: I trust the odor experts at Arm & Hammer and it gives me peace of mind when guests come over and truly since I started using this litter I have not thought about her litter box having any type of odor and when I first got Daphne it was my biggest fear that my apartment was just gonna always have this cat odor and also I thought I was going to have a cat odor. I was like people are gonna know that I have a cat at home and it's gonna be because of the odor that's coming off of me but everyone should be a cat person that's what I truly believe and even my mom has kind of converted into a cat person and she was honestly one of their number one haters and it's okay because she is allergic to them, but she is definitely going to call out a cat odor if she smells it.
46:32Hannah Berner: So for all my fellow cat parents, be guest ready with Arm & Hammer Hardball Cat Litter. Find it now at Walmart or Amazon. Not to be annoying, but I have to bring up my grandpa. Wait, how did I know you were just about to do that? You get a certain look in your eye. I go, and now it's the segment of the week. Things I want to say about my grandpa. No. I feel like your grandpa's in heaven right now being like, shut. shut the fuck up let me rest in peace get over it i said i loved you like a couple of times
47:05Paige DeSorbo: summoning me no so my mom and i are to are on shelter island shelter island is triggering for me because my grandpa's house is like across the street from my parents house so i have to walk past his house like yeah that is sad so i was talking to my mom basically like we're walking doing our mental health you guys are doing a ouija board
47:36Hannah Berner: lenore doing a ouija board she'd be so teacher about it she'd actually be great to be like she'd
47:41Paige DeSorbo: like a b c d
47:47Paige DeSorbo: so we're walking and we're talking about grandpa jerry and a car speeds by us now grandpa jerry famously drove a little too long in his life hated speeding
48:04Paige DeSorbo: he had a car too no he was 92 and he was he was driving crazy on these roads so like you'd see a crazy be like there's a grandpa jerry and he had a blue mazda that was like a very unique car okay no one had as we're talking about grandpa jerry a car starts speeding by and it's a blue mazda and it was to the point that i wasn't like oh that looks like his car it felt like i was in that moment watching my grandpa drive past me oh my god and i are like that's grandpa's car and this is a small island there's like seven people on this island what did you do with his car like where is his car oh i have no idea but like it wasn't like given to actually i have no i should check that like does someone on shelter island have his car no i don't think so but like it was crazy and that is so interesting and then we like we're starting the race and someone on the mic is like saying people's names and they just say grandpa jerry in like really it was like stephanie pierce leila thompson grandpa jerry like it was really wait did you just name real people no oh but i did come up with those names i feel like i know
49:24Hannah Berner: wait that's kind of crazy and like it is it was father's day weekend it's father's day and then
49:29Paige DeSorbo: my dad said he went to go shopping and there was a guy who looked just like grandpa that needed his help and i was like i think like grandpa just partied with us this weekend yeah and grandpa
49:41Hannah Berner: loves when i play golf wow i have an astrology reading on thursday oh my god i'm so excited
49:49Paige DeSorbo: so excited i should have given him your birthday i'm gonna say i'm selfishly excited because i always like what they tell you about your best friend your business partnerships like how is the vibe i'll give you all my info oh i think i like i think i figured out dez's phone password phone number i think i figured out who dez is do you know i have a fucking husband named des name is des he was real names desmond what is
50:20Hannah Berner: des's middle name desmond what ryan so i got nervous i got nervous that i was not gonna know
50:26Paige DeSorbo: he's so so irish but um oh yeah i was always like oh butter wow what an og giggly squad
50:35Hannah Berner: crew neck wait should we make this again where is squad country club butter say hi to the gigglers No, we should remake that because I don't know where mine is.
50:45Paige DeSorbo: So I told Des I want to read his chart. And he told me he doesn't know when he was born. And I'm like, I can't go to the archives of like 1872. I'm not going to find it. Where's his birth certificate? Who knows? But I can't ask his mom. Anyway, so I waited a long time. And out of nowhere, I was like, do you know what time you were born? And he told me. So he was holding back on me because he didn't want me to read it. So he did know. So he did know. So I can't trust anyone around me. Now I'm forgetting. I think it was like 1.50 a.m. What time were you born? 12 p.m. In the afternoon? Yeah.
51:24Hannah Berner: Hannah, I was born at like 1. I was born at the same time. We're like, we're actually going to sleep in quick. We ride at not dawn. We're like, why don't you have breakfast? And then we'll rendezvous and see what's going on.
51:39Paige DeSorbo: wait when i was watching mormon housewives they were like talking about being pregnant together and i literally got emotional thinking about us at one day we might be pregnant together
51:49Hannah Berner: well you know what i think about in terms of that that stresses me out is because like at any given point ever because you're married and you're an adult woman you could call me at any time and be like hey i'm pregnant and then not to make it about me i'll have to scramble like i'll have to go get my eggs yeah i'm gonna have to see if they're okay you call you go it's time time to defrost i'll literally just i'll have to do it you're basically saying like you're not
52:24Paige DeSorbo: gonna let me do it alone if i do it like you'll speed up the process like if next week i was like i think i might be pregnant you'd be like okay i'd be like okay give me a month let me get my
52:34Hannah Berner: affairs in order because i can't i can't just i'm like hold on i'm on my period right now give me one week and i'm wait how sick is that imagine if you called me and we're like i'm pregnant and i'm
