The hosts riff on taking risks, traveling (Europe/Capri), and “summering,” plus what life feels like in your 30s (turning 34, dancing without caring), celebrity culture (Taylor Swift joining Travis Kelce’s podcast), health/UTIs and telehealth, and tennis/US Open fashion and schedules. They also discuss “none of my business” boundaries in an information-overload world, plus summer life with a toddler (improv play, “Butter” the cat) and random cultural takes (panini vs toasted sandwich).
No guests appear in the transcript; it’s a solo/hosted conversation between Harriet and Paige (and mentions of Hannah, Grace, Des, Josephine, etc., but not as on-air guests).
Vulnerability/travel drives personal growth; 30s are like “dancing one” (enjoying without worrying); Taylor Swift likely helped Travis because she’s in love, not PR; UTI care can be fast via One Medical/Amazon; information overload makes “none of my business” appealing.
Capri via Delta; “we ride at dawn”/“hello gorgeous gigglers” references to Swift; UTI antibiotics and boric acid/D-mannose; US Open prep (baseball caps, preppy East Coast outfits); Maria Sharapova’s Tennis Hall of Fame induction; toddler improv games (“farty poopy Bobby,” “there’s no spitting in this house”).

0:43Hannah Berner: Like, why do we need to spend so much time playing it safe and staying inside our comfortable little bubbles? Honestly, the absolute best parts of life happen when you just follow your heart and take a little risk. Like imagine going to Europe, getting a little lost down some gorgeous cobblestone alley and trying to order an espresso in a language you don't even know. It's fine. That kind of vulnerability is literally how you grow and actually figure out who you are.
1:06Paige DeSorbo: And that's what you're doing right now. Flew Delta Airlines all the way to Capri. The vibe on the Delta flights to go to Europe are so chic, elevated. It just makes you feel like a little princess. And I got my Delta headphones and I'm watching my movies. I also think it's so important to travel and Delta takes care of you during the travel so that you can grow and learn about new cultures and just experience new things. We can't just stay in our bedroom all the time, even though it's comfortable. And when I travel, I just learned that the world that no one cares and like the world is just so much bigger than you.
1:43Paige DeSorbo: And that's comforting. It gives you perspective. Yes. So traveling is the ultimate way to experience a major personal growth and just see what happens. Step outside your comfort zone this summer and fly with Delta Airlines. Honestly, they completely changed the game for European travel and make the whole journey feel so elevated and special from the second you board. Go book your next great chapter right now at Delta.com. Sup, gigglers.

And not that we started any of those phrases. We plagiarized all of them. Most of them. Like they're common phrases.

I feel like that's a lie.
17:13Paige DeSorbo: I feel like if we rewind the track, Grace, Chris, rewind this, it's a little more often than every five months.
17:20Hannah Berner: My last one was in April. I checked my medical records. Oh, so you're counting when you get hospitalized for UTI? Yeah, when I have to go on literal antibiotics. I'm not talking about text messages where I'm like sorry can't call me UTI not to mansplain you but have you tried boric acid uh not a standalone but if it's in any of my vitamins then yeah I'm I take like um D manos I think it's called and like I drink a powder vitamin every day for like strong bladders and I mean I'm doing the I'm not just out here willy-nilly I'm putting in the work and I'm putting in the time.
17:59Paige DeSorbo: A company sent me like a boric acid thing that you just stick up your pussy. And it's supposed to be really good. So just look that up. Not that you need more things sticking inside you because you put everything inside you at this point. So we have too many variables to even have like a good experiment. Wait, are you still on your UTI?
18:20Hannah Berner: I actually finished my antibiotic yesterday.
18:23Paige DeSorbo: Should we call it a UT?
18:24Hannah Berner: UT, I feel like it is Bama Rush right now and I feel like I would be like, my husband, U-T-I. Gamma, gamma, U-T-I. But here's what I'm here to say. I wasn't in New York City when I felt it hit. And like, that's when I go into pure panic mode. I don't think people realize that, remember One Medical, like it was a separate app? Yeah. That Amazon owns One Medical now and you can literally go on your Amazon account, go on One Medical, type like text to a freaking doctor and be like hey i have a uti and they're like cool where's your pharmacy and they just send it i got an antibiotic in 20 minutes amazon is taking over
19:06Paige DeSorbo: they're doing same day stuff which is like coming for instagram amazon is is getting very powerful
19:12Hannah Berner: they're getting really powerful and although that is terrifying and i am employed by that
19:21Paige DeSorbo: I'm here to say I'm for the one medical like I know one medical is amazing I I use it it's amazing you guys this is a health podcast this is like this is like tips and tricks
19:34Hannah Berner: on living life like this is just something I've experienced in my everyday life and I I'm proud of it but I do keep getting tagged in random tiktoks of like you might have a six month old std and i'm like guys no because one thing the good blues are is looking out for us but leave me out of that one it's oh that's what taylor swift said she said it's none of my business she said that there might be and you want to know what bitch i agree she there might be headlines about me and my name could be in headlines and it's still none of my business Did she say that? Yes.
20:15Paige DeSorbo: Oh my God. I love her.
20:17Hannah Berner: And I've never felt more seen because I'm like, wait, I could be, I could be the subject of an entire, why was I just going to say eulogy? That's so scary. That's when someone dies. That's the thing. I wanted to say monologue.
20:33Paige DeSorbo: Words are powerful. Let's pick the right ones.
20:36Hannah Berner: And it might be none of my business.
20:40Paige DeSorbo: And the none of my business tour starts in September. Yeah. get your tickets now no none of my business the concept is so powerful because if you we're in a world where you can make everything your business and as humans we cannot consume so much information about ourselves about our friends it's not natural no so that's why that's why trad wives are coming back we need a break that's why trad wives are coming back that's why maybe the amish were on to something like a calm should we do should we start like an amish but like where the women are allowed to speak or is that scientology it's just i don't want to be in a i want to be alone yeah pods pods i just want to be alone like 80 i want to invent a social media where it just shows you what you need to know like and you put it in like you're literally like i need a cat video a recipe and that's it like i think information actually needs to be we're on overload

30:08Paige DeSorbo: Don't be mean. And I go, and she goes, Butter, stop it. And poor Butter never wanted to be a part of any narrative.
30:16Hannah Berner: No, this is theater. This is theater.
30:19Paige DeSorbo: And then sometimes she throws in a new spin on things. She should be a producer.
30:25Hannah Berner: This is community theater at its finest. And we need to stop saying children are playing pretend. They're artists. And they're improv. They're comedians.
30:36Paige DeSorbo: do you ever see those kids who like remember things from past lives on instagram i'm obsessed with them i hope to have one one day so i tried to get that out of lois she said something she was like did you ask lois what your aura color is well lois's aura color is pink and purple obviously obviously um i'm gonna ask her that's a really good question she was like you were red because you were a cunt and now you're better and then you went to some you did some emdr therapy and you're much better she's perfect i love her she's perfect um is she still there yeah she's running around right now she's gonna make a cameo later she'll come in and say and say giggly squad oh i did go i was going like and she looked at me and she goes there's no spitting in this house

33:42Paige DeSorbo: completely different cuisine like a panini i mean is it pressed yes but still not enough
33:51Hannah Berner: I argue the question is a bacon egg and cheese a panini I would say because it's not pressed it's not but like is a tuna melt a panini yeah I'd say yes I would argue yes if I was under oath I would testify that yes a tuna melt is a panini wait can you please can you please do the cousin vinnie quote when she said to rose wait this is so funny that you're asking me this because yesterday i was at the track with my whole family and they were like page do the thing um what part was i um the defense is wrong my father my father was mechanic my father's father was a mechanic my brother's a mechanic so yeah i'm an expert imagine you're a dear and you're prancing along you spot a brook you put your little dear lips down to the cool clear water

36:28Paige DeSorbo: i was gonna say about lois was that she said something like when i was in my mommy's belly she said something so then i i immediately clocked that and i said what else did you see when you were in mommy's belly do you remember what happened before you were in mommy's belly and she looked at me and she was like i don't know and i'm like was there a war oh my god do you think lois is reincarnated i don't know but i'm getting to the bottom of it yeah i'm just asking her light
36:50Hannah Berner: questions i'm like you're just peppering her with a little i said do you remember how the pyramids were built were you there imagine i don't i those videos freak freak me out but i do have to make an announcement yeah my summer is like about to be over why oh because you're going on tour no before that my super bowl is happening the u.s open begins oh my god people don't know this

38:03Hannah Berner: a decent amount yeah when it comes to like what are you wearing i think like morgan riddle and Paige Lorenz really like do such a good job I mean of what they wear and such good inspo but it's like any other preppy event like you're where it's preppy so you're like you have to think east coast Nantucket Martha's Vineyard uh the Hamptons like you have to think that aesthetic and that vibe and anything and it whatever you would wear during the day there you would wear to the U.S. Open.
38:38Paige DeSorbo: Do you know what I think Hannah Coated wise what I wore once that I liked was kind of these like baggy khakis or like white pants. I'd worn it with a tube top which I haven't been wearing lately. But you're 34. No, I'm just kidding.
38:53Hannah Berner: I'm kidding. That was a joke. That was a joke.
38:58Paige DeSorbo: No, you're so valid. I'm 34 with a long torso. I'm not wearing Amazon$12 bandos anymore. like it's let's over let's stop playing games sorry i've never wore the long tour yeah it's insane it looks like a bandeau um i love madeline klein wore this like i love monochromatic but she just wore like a buttoned up like sweater and then like a like a ralph lauren hat like baseball hat i love dress like a celebrity undercover like a little bit at the u.s open it's like cute also it's very sunny so if you do if you do look good in hats i don't i have a peanut head i i look insane with hats wear a little baseball cap with a cute little outfit um have
39:47Hannah Berner: fun with i feel like saying that you don't look good in hats is so crazy to say that's what someone with pretty privilege would say but i look i look at you more than you look at you period that was crazy wait that's crazy because we both know i don't look in the mirror at all so you don't look in the mirror do you know i tell everyone that too do you know i'm like do you know that hannah like doesn't look in the mirror wait that's actually the right i'm like right before she showers she doesn't even glance she's so healthy she's an epitome of healthy i'm like that's so fucking healthy because you know what what i look like is none of my business none of my business but as someone who looks at you more you don't i wouldn't walk by you and be like damn that's so fucking small i hope she never wears a goddamn hat we'll never find her do you know what is my
40:41Paige DeSorbo: hair is also like not to brag it's like kind of thick and frizzy so sometimes when i put a hat on when i'm wearing my hair down i feel like insane like my hair is like you have great thick long

41:13Paige DeSorbo: we argued this episode i'm 34 like i can't handle this i can't change now no we can't
41:21Hannah Berner: and i'm gonna start using that as an excuse sorry my best friend is 34 wait i'm two years older than you right now you think i'm coming yeah you are so maybe listen to someone wise who
41:36Paige DeSorbo: knows that hats look stupid on her um but yeah the u.s open is gonna be fun i'm actually i have a crazy thing happening what i'm going with chelsea handler what day but this is the like weird full circle moment one that i taught tennis to her when i was like 21 and she she know she didn't remember two she loves tennis and at one point she was like sitting in the boxes of all the top tennis players if you don't know what a box is basically like the vip table for the match so yeah in someone's box is like their significant other their coaches um their psychiatrists their managers their best friends so like wait they're really their psychiatrist sometimes damn wait you know like we should bring a psychiatrist on tour with us it's it's expensive but it may be worth the investment i would love it like their mental coach they call it but i'm like it's just it's a psychologist let's be honest yeah got it um so because you never know you never know when you're gonna need one hands to god you never know
42:39Paige DeSorbo: so uh like kim kardashii would be in serena's box all the time like it's like cool so chelsea handler was sitting in maria shara pova's box back in the day and i was like oh my god that's so cool like imagine to be a fly on the wall and sitting in shara pova's box watching with chelsea handler in your ear i'm going i'm sitting with chelsea handler in a box whose box i don't know oh like i don't know i honestly don't know it's very i don't have any information like when

45:25Hannah Berner: I remember when I first got to college and I thought I was prepared. I know everything that's happening. I was so focused on my daily outfits and making sure I had the perfect aesthetic that I completely forgot about one major part of college. And that's themed parties. Every other week, there was some random theme night and I was always scrambling at the last minute trying to pull something together. Whether it was a costume, accessories, decorations, or something group theme, I somehow never had what I needed and I was constantly making a last minute purchase to save the day. College is already so chaotic enough and it's always the little things that catch you off guard.
46:00Hannah Berner: That's why I love Amazon makes off to college shopping so easy. So whether it's dorm essentials, school supplies, organizational items, or those last minute things you suddenly realize you need, Amazon has great deals, everyday low prices, a huge selection, and the convenience to help you get it all in one place. So remember, with Amazon low off to college prices, just save on college, save the everyday. I was in search of the perfect vanity for my apartment. And when I mean perfect, I mean perfect for me. I wanted something that I could fit the actual seat that goes to the vanity underneath just to save space.

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.
48:05Hannah Berner: So when I found Tide Evo I was like wait this actually fits my life. It's compact streamlined and easy to use. 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. If you've got a clear front laundry machine like me, it's actually kind of satisfying to watch. You toss it in, add your clothes, and it starts dissolving right away. Now I use Tide Evo all the time when doing laundry. It's just so much easier than before, especially when I know it's all clean and no fuss. Try the new Tide Evo Super concentrated laundry detergent today.
48:44Hannah Berner: Okay, you guys know I live for just doing the thing, not overthinking it. Like, why do we need to spend so much time playing it safe and staying inside our comfortable little bubbles? Honestly, the absolute best parts of life happen when you just follow your heart and take a little risk. Like, imagine going to Europe, getting a little lost down some gorgeous cobblestone alley, and trying to order an espresso in a language you don't even know. It's fine. That kind of vulnerability is literally how you grow and actually figure out who you are.
49:13Paige DeSorbo: And that's what you're doing right now. Flew Delta Airlines all the way to Capri. The vibe on the Delta flights to go to Europe are so chic, elevated. It just makes you feel like a little princess. And I got my Delta headphones and I'm watching my movies. I also think it's so important to travel and Delta takes care of you during the travel so that you can grow and learn about new cultures and just experience new things we can't just stay in our bedroom all the time even though it's comfortable and when i travel i just learned that the world that no one cares and like the world is just so much bigger than you and that's comforting it gives you perspective yes so traveling is the ultimate way to experience a major personal growth and just see what happens step outside your comfort zone this summer and fly with delta airlines honestly they completely change the game for european travel and make the whole journey feel so elevated and special from the second you board go book your next great chapter right now at delta.com
50:20Hannah Berner: i used to summer in newport rhode island shut up often as a young child really yes i think that's why i love period pieces because sometimes we we went to newport maybe like twice in the summer and we and as a child i loved going through the mansion tours we would do so many mansion tours and i was obsessed with it and like you go in like the vanderbilt house and like all these different houses and they give you like it used to be like a tour guide now it's like headphones it's like not as good um but i think that's why i love period pieces because as a young child
50:57Paige DeSorbo: I loved it I've never went to Newport well a lot of Italians are in Rhode Island a lot of Italians are in Rhode Island just say random like public schools in Newport it's probably no public schools in Newport but I'm going for the Tennis Hall of Fame which is so funny because I kind of skipped the whole like playing professionally and just went from being comedian to going to Tennis Hall of Fame but I'm just like going with my parents and Des and wait you're getting inducted into no no but i'm there for it maria sharapova is getting inducted got it got it because you know
51:31Hannah Berner: my manifestation i was like wait a second that that manifestation might be actually illegal and like not fair what is the equivalent i just like okay you know how like all men like men are like if i like if i could have trained i could have been in the nfl yeah like if i was like if i was like an inch taller i totally could have been in the nb like shit like that do women have an equivalent i don't think so because i feel like we are realistic in certain aspects women are more
52:00Paige DeSorbo: than realistic we're like mean to ourselves where we're like oh like i'll be like oh my god you're so good at you know um makeup you could be a professional makeup artist no no no i couldn't no no no i could never do that and i'm like no you're literally doing it no i couldn't
52:15Hannah Berner: i mean literally seven minutes ago you were like i don't wear hats hats are not for me i hate hats i can't wear a hat i could be so many things if i could wear a hat but i can't men will literally wear a hat on the tip top till it tippy tippy top of their head not even on their head and they'll be like this looks cool this looks good and my poor friend won't even
52:37Paige DeSorbo: go near a hat without breaking out and melanoma is looming okay melanoma is looming put your sunscreen on no men wearing their hat on the tippy top who let them who let them i have to confess
52:51Hannah Berner: something and it's so bad because i know that i'm out you thought it was i'm actually i'm switching topics actually you're like we're done something else popped in my hand nope sorry this is so bad and i know because i'm like on here every week being like i love my skincare and like i do this and I do that. I put tanning oil on the other day.
53:12Paige DeSorbo: Paige DeSorbo. Not on my face.
53:14Hannah Berner: I didn't put it on my face. Where'd you put it?
53:17Paige DeSorbo: On your pussy? That's why you have UTI. I saw it.
53:19Hannah Berner: I saw it.
53:20Paige DeSorbo: Did you perineum?
53:22Hannah Berner: No, I didn't. No, I didn't. But I still want to do that. I saw it. I was just sitting there. It looked lonely. I was like, I bet no one's used you in years. Everyone's talking bad about you. And you used to be my best friend. And we had so many good times together. And I miss you. And so I did it on my stomach and my legs and my butt. And I really did the backside of me. But here's in my defense. I feel like in Italy, I didn't really tan the back of me. OK, I had no interest in flipping.
53:50Paige DeSorbo: But that's where you're wrong. The back of you is none of your business.
53:53Hannah Berner: It's none of my business.
53:54Paige DeSorbo: I've never once saw a girl have been like, whoa, back of her leg is not the same color as the front of her leg.
53:59Hannah Berner: Really? I have. Like ever heard of flipping, bitch? Like you can't fall asleep.
54:06Paige DeSorbo: so i've been playing tennis with a bathing suit on and i didn't realize the bathing suit in the back has like a big circle in it because it's a one piece and the back is just circle so i have a full just like circle of a tan on my back but again none of my business i didn't even know it was there and i've been so peaceful until someone told me and i said i don't want to know don't come to me with things about me yeah don't talk shit behind my back literally Lee okay for everyone listening don't use tanning oil Paige you yeah I'm not saying use it I'm just
54:39Hannah Berner: I'm confessing something let me live this is a safe space for me true I do like her honesty that was really good it's and you want to know what I fucking liked it it's okay now I have to step in
54:50Paige DeSorbo: now I have to step in and it did exactly first it's tanning oil then it's heroin then next thing you know, you're stealing from your family and you're losing your job. No, you're tweaking out.
55:02Hannah Berner: Yeah. Tanning oil actually is a gateway drug because if you catch me with like a beach bomb subscription, I'm like, I'm just going to go once a month. Stop me. Truly stop me because that's when I've gone too far.
55:14Paige DeSorbo: You're passed out in the kitchen with tanning oil all over you. And I'm like, God damn it. I've got to get her to work.
55:20Hannah Berner: I'm just like, wait, what if I just tried it? It was just like it was a naughty thing. Look, I'm 32 years old. That's my version of being naughty.
55:28Paige DeSorbo: Yeah, we're going to have to have a New Jersey intervention with you. I love it.
55:33Hannah Berner: I'm obsessed.
55:35Paige DeSorbo: But I do have to say my favorite part about summer being tan is that like I don't have to wear as much makeup because it's like naturally contouring.
55:44Hannah Berner: It's the same with like having a bob. It becomes an accessory. I'm like, I'll put this outfit on and then I'll wear my tan and I'm tan. So like I'll look better.
55:52Paige DeSorbo: it's so good but I really feel bad because my I saw a girl the other day wearing like a red sweater and I was like it's fall oh I thought you're gonna say not for my aura not for my energy not my aura not my energy not my season yeah summer for me is over like it's I'm back to
56:13Hannah Berner: work I've been on bed rest okay that is like really stressing me out because I feel like I I have a good solid like three weeks left of summer and you're like crushing my vibe.
56:23Paige DeSorbo: It's okay because you've been working like really hard every summer. So this you need this. But like September 4th, I'm off to Vancouver, Oakland. I had a tough year. We're out here. You did, but a beautiful year.
56:36Hannah Berner: I had a beautiful year. I had like one of the best years of my life, honestly, actually. I'm like all jokes aside. I actually think this was like this isn't the top three best years of my life. i'm feeling a mental health moment coming because i also feel like you dealt with a lot of adversity
56:53Paige DeSorbo: but you gained a lot of trust in yourself and you became more interesting to me at least i have to deal with you all the time because i'd be like she comes down from the hotel room i'm like what
57:04Hannah Berner: mood is she gonna be and you want to know what start normalizing people walking on eggshells
57:11Paige DeSorbo: around you i like that about no but page because like we've been together when we both have had like mental breaks and we've survived it like could we get any closer i don't think so i think
57:25Hannah Berner: the only way we could literally get closer is if i had a medical procedure and you were in the room with me and i was doing it i was like give me give me the scissor speaking of scissoring i'm three episodes into the hunting wives that is no speaking of scissoring because what in the texas is literally going on on that show
57:55Paige DeSorbo: i'm obsessed with it because i'm obsessed with i don't want okay kind of spoiler but des was like what's it about and i was like how do i explain i said des it's for girls though like it's a show for girls like it's for the girls and he's like well let me let me see first let me watch it first it's determined and i was like no no no no because i actually didn't watch
58:18Hannah Berner: the last episode because i was like that's very mean coded what's going on it's very i have to
58:23Paige DeSorbo: shout out malin ackerman i feel like she's never acted like this before and she's so good in it yeah um but what makes it fun is because you think it's this stereotypical like oh ladies who brunch and spend their husbands money and don't do anything and this new girl comes in who's like very smart and stuff and you immediately think she's better than those women then you realize those women are fucking feminists because they're just fucking each other and taking advantage of their husbands and i'm starting to think we've we've got it all wrong
58:54Hannah Berner: here i didn't see the element of like where they were all gonna like have sex with each other that Like I was like, oh my God, I didn't see that coming. Like when the first sexual thing happened, I was like, wait, that is so not what I thought. See, I can't read certain things in the beginning. I'm like, that was not what I was thinking.
59:12Paige DeSorbo: I think they also wanted to surprise you. Like, oh, why are her tits out? That came out of nowhere.
59:17Hannah Berner: I was like, wait, are they going to pop? Yeah. There is something about a show that I do like that when they give me that question where I'm like, wait a minute, are they about to hook up? Like that excites me.
59:27Paige DeSorbo: i i i also think when that girl was being mean to her i didn't realize she was it's because she was jealous not because she was just like being a bitch to the new girl correct so now i'm trying to think like everyone every girl's been mean to me i'm like were you trying to fuck yeah are you trying to fuck oh my god but that's why like no i just i think it's it was very entertaining the hunting wives i do have something that you guys have to watch documentary about the biggest loser just came out on netflix like the tv show yeah did you watch the biggest the biggest loser we could be referring to a lot of people i mean the list has no idea a new thing at the end of the
1:00:09Hannah Berner: pod we go who's the biggest loser of the week and the biggest loser of the week did you watch that show i didn't but i feel like my grandma watched it so i feel like by osmosis i feel like i watched
1:00:24Paige DeSorbo: a couple episodes i was really into it really i it was so like you'd see people be like my life is ruined by my weight if i could lose weight it would save my marriage and my children and my life and then you watch them get yelled at by jillian michaels like really mean and then they weigh themselves and they lose 15 pounds and then you're like hooked you're like this person but when they reanalyze everything they realize like they're basically telling people like if you're fat you you suck like you're not a human yeah and and you can't control yourself around food
1:01:00Hannah Berner: when everyone everything's losing it so fast though okay it turns out well they were working
1:01:07Paige DeSorbo: out eight hours a day like professional athletes you just see them like on the treadmill puking like lifting tires and these are people who like haven't walked in years is that even safe so there's a doctor that was on the show that was like yo you can't this person's gonna have a heart attack yeah they're gonna die but obviously the producers were like shut the fuck up doctor yeah and they leave it to a reality yeah and they'd make them do embarrassing things like
1:01:34Hannah Berner: not good tv but also could win us an emmy shut your fucking mouth so and then they wanted people
1:01:40Paige DeSorbo: to get bigger and bigger and bigger to make it more exciting with the bigger the people are the less they could like do physically you got to start them off slow then caffeine pills were going around so the and then these people realized i want to win they want to win 250 000 so this one guy was like i was literally just drinking water and lemon and like maple syrup like i did a cleanse he said he was so dehydrated that there was blood in his urine but he won but it was like at what some people left with eating disorders some people their metabolism was fucked forever and they gained the weight all the way back some people were traumatized by the edit because they were given a villain edit and it's like these people are just trying to lose weight yeah and they would make some friends they're not friends anymore because they made the friends fight last story short i was a little traumatized but i got a little PTSD but um at the time the world was different back then and we were like yeah they were transforming these people
1:02:41Hannah Berner: bodies i would argue i mean i watched a show called the swan i was gonna say like that was worse that would look at this hideous specimen of a woman we're gonna change her don't worry you won't have to look at her anyway like that was truly insane and i think that did something
1:02:57Paige DeSorbo: to my brain chemistry and also there was always this like i want to save my marriage like my husband doesn't like me because i'm fat and this woman told this great story where she went there to save her marriage because she was in a toxic marriage and she thought he would stop cheating on her if she lost weight classic she survives all this crazy stuff get gets back looks gorgeous
1:03:15Hannah Berner: and realizes i fucking hate this guy oh that is the best is and gets out of the marriage so it
1:03:24Paige DeSorbo: was less changing her body it was more she changed her mindset there's nothing like waking up there's
1:03:30Hannah Berner: nothing like waking up and being like wait you're a fucking loser and this is embarrassing for me and all my friends i gotta go and all my friends you're like now i have to go an apology tour to my friends god damn it no you literally literally like sorry that was a weird time
1:03:48Paige DeSorbo: thanks for sticking by me the ick is real and i want it's so real i want to say ladies women have been getting the ick since the beginning of the time but they weren't allowed to because we weren't allowed to get divorces but now we can so like go off like have fun um i love the idea that like nowadays we can have multiple husbands yeah like even watching like gilded age they're
1:04:12Hannah Berner: trying to like normalize being divorced because like at that time the only way you could get divorced was if one of you committed adultery and men men were like accepted back into society but like after a woman got divorced even if she wasn't the one that cheated she like wasn't accepted back into society they were like you're done well and you're done literally you're done and it's just so
1:04:39Paige DeSorbo: crazy like in this documentary mr mrs murder they're super religious and they're having a fair together and the guy's like can you divorce your husband so we could be together allegedly and she was like no but if you kill him i think we can and it's like that's not logical like god wouldn't like that i feel like god would be like actually get a divorce you know it's really
1:05:02Hannah Berner: scary to think about and maybe this is like something like in your i mean you're 34 so i'm
1:05:06Paige DeSorbo: sure you've thought about it before i've had a lot of time how many insane people there are
1:05:11Hannah Berner: and you're like you're allowed to do what i do in everyday life it's not safe for other people
1:05:18Paige DeSorbo: my favorite thing is when you see someone doing something in public and you're like
1:05:21Hannah Berner: how did you make it here how did you get past i go through the same school system okay the same school system and somehow you're like you're being crazy you've ever seen someone at a restaurant
1:05:35Paige DeSorbo: like how they're acting and i'm like you've been doing this for how many years and no one's punched
1:05:39Hannah Berner: you in the face hello is everyone okay everyone needs to get a check everyone needs to start

1:06:15Paige DeSorbo: out to teachers even though they're so so so so underpaid and undervalued but at least people were like they've been dealing with kids all year give them a summer can I say something I do love
1:06:29Hannah Berner: clearing a teacher's list it's an adrenaline rush like no other I'm like fuck yeah they need those
1:06:37Paige DeSorbo: markers are you kidding yeah but i also think the government shouldn't be making teachers have to ask people pay for markers okay i know actually sometimes looking at the list i'm like wait this is like these are such basic things like that yeah every school should have this every school should have it give them a clock how do they know when they're getting to the next and
1:07:02Hannah Berner: And also, I will say, like, as a child, because I loved aesthetic, obviously I'm a pink aura. I judged a teacher by her room. OK, I was like, OK, what's going on here? No effort. The season has been changed. The feng shui is really off. I'm like, really? We're in November. You still have apples up on your poster board with all our names on it.

1:07:59Hannah Berner: No teachers have such a like No I don't know how they do it I don't know how they do it But I did see a TikTok actually Because I'm like deep in I feel like teacher TikTok Well I'm on Amazon looking at so many teacher stuff My phone is like you're a teacher Yeah I saw a teacher say Like never once has she referred to going And being a teacher as going to work She always says I'm going to school yeah and teachers were like duetting it and being because one teacher was like oh no I say like I have work and it's like other teachers were like it's not work it's going to school and I think that's like I never thought of that obviously because like once I left school I never thought
