Giggling about yachts, sports betting, and self improvement

0:02Paige DeSorbo: What's up gigglers?

0:03Amanda Batula: Harriet, fix the wifi.

0:05Paige DeSorbo: Manifest that shit.

0:06Amanda Batula: We can't be managed.

0:11Amanda Batula: I mean the day just got away from me.

0:15Paige DeSorbo: Hello my gremlin little gigglers.

0:18Amanda Batula: Wait, I just... Are you ever spacing out and then all of a sudden... Like you were just talking and I was like really in deep thought about something else and I forgot that we were doing the podcast.

0:30Paige DeSorbo: Oh, so we were two seconds into the pod and you've lost focus.

0:34Amanda Batula: Well, because when we get on the phone prior and do other things, then I like forget.

0:40Paige DeSorbo: You're like humble bragging that we like did a little bit of admin. Oh, what kind of ASMR pod is this?

0:49Amanda Batula: Canada Dry. Shout out to Canada. Is your tummy okay? well one of my things for 2026 is like drinking soda is trying i love soda like i love all everything about soda but coca-cola specifically it's really bad for you it's so bad see i brought

1:12Paige DeSorbo: this up to a family member during the holidays as you do you're just like what's the most insane

1:18Amanda Batula: thing i could say to my family member did you go home for the holidays if there was not a soda discussion at some point yeah and then we were talking about oh coke zero you have coke zero

1:29Paige DeSorbo: so at one point i said to someone who's fully addicted to drinking diet coke and i i decided to make the the obvious statement i go i don't know if that's good for you like how can i prove i'm better than people in a room full of people yeah but he actually made the best point actually

1:45Amanda Batula: it was does i was just gonna say are you talking about your husband like i'm at a family gathering

1:53Paige DeSorbo: I try to protect them and I just can't like I can't so does his thing is Diet Coke and like that's fine I let him do his thing but it was something happened and you know we'd been spending too much time together I said you know if you keep drinking that you're gonna die you're gonna die and you're already about to die I only have like 15 years left so like you're just speeding the

2:10Amanda Batula: speeding the process up and he was like man one thing let him have one thing I know but then he

2:17Paige DeSorbo: kind of like outsmarted me because he was like oh if diet coke was so bad for you people would be dropping dead left and right and i was like okay kind of a good point i mean not that americans are particularly healthy but like if diet coke really was killing people like the sole purpose was diet coke like people would be dropping like flies so when did your diet coke campaign come out the diet coke people are like i think she's i think she's promoting it i don't know if the

2:46Amanda Batula: angle was the best play the gigglers are like hannah's change she stands for nothing she's a sellout

2:58Amanda Batula: no it's so good once i started i mean no it's the same thing as like watching a documentary about mcdonald's i'm like i don't give a fuck but like with diet coke like whenever you see those videos of it like taking rust off a car i'm like okay i don't need to have it in my body but i love it so much but anyway so i'm trying to drink like ginger ale and like poppies and i'm trying to just not drink a diet coke every day i feel like new

3:35Paige DeSorbo: years is weird for you because i feel like every week you have a resolution i'm like this all year around i mean my new thing is yeah you're like you guys are now trying to think of random shit to improve on that's all i do you love a list of like just having i love self-improvement yeah but i think that self-improvement is toxic i said it okay sorry i'm feeling sassy today

4:00Amanda Batula: You want to know what? I can see that side. This is why we're friends. We have healthy debates, healthy discussion. Yes, we do.

4:08Paige DeSorbo: Because we've never agreed once.

4:10Amanda Batula: I can see that side. But one of my pet peeves is like wasted potential. Like if I see someone and I'm like, oh my God, if you just listened to me. Are you talking about me? if you just listen to me your whole life would be different you'd be so much better so i try and be self-aware and take my own advice and i'm like wow my life would be so much better if i just cut this out or if i did this or if i did that so but yes to your point sometimes i can get too

4:47Paige DeSorbo: in the weeds well the reason we're both best friends is because i also hate when people don't fulfill their potential it's my biggest fucking pet peeve but i go about a different way why do we hate that so much because i think we're millennials who were like i think it's a millennial thing to be like be the greatest you could be like we like were raised on mulan like you have to save china but what is wrong with wanting to be the greatest you can be well because sometimes it can hinder you like i know that i put a lot of pressure on myself sometimes and you as well to the point that we are crippled no i mean i want to talk i'm like i'm medicated every all my friends everyone i know is on i don't trust a friend who's not medicated i'm like you're raw dogging she she can't be trusted i don't feel peace around her when sierra came home for thanksgiving the biggest takeaway from my from my time spent with my very

5:46Amanda Batula: close friend was that she wanted me to be on more drugs she was like i've seen what i need to see

5:52Paige DeSorbo: She was like, wait a minute. And she's a nurse. Like, that's a legit opinion. She was like, I need doses upped with you. That's a doctor's opinion. Also, shout out to when I first met Sierra. I told her, I said, welcome to reality TV. Make sure you have an astrologer, a psychic, and Prozac on call. And she laughed. And I said, that's so funny that you think I'm kidding with you. Check back in today. Now she's sending me psychics. this bitch is sending me astrologists actually um but what i was gonna say in terms of fulfilling your potential yeah i'm like where do we start if you get too in the weeds of obsessing about getting better and you look at too much external things sometimes you forget it's right here you it's right here you actually have it the happiness it's it's you it's you refine finding yourself again and it's not through all these external things even though i know you love a laser well you know what it is you go if there's not a laser involved i'm not interested

6:55Amanda Batula: i put a lot of pressure on myself too but at my literal ripe age of 33 that voice in my head though is just my mom you could be better you could be doing more okay and she doesn't even she's not even like like that's my own that's my own thing to work out like one thing she probably

7:17Paige DeSorbo: said when you were like nine no but I think it is like when I do half-ass something I do have my mom

7:22Amanda Batula: being like you you know you could have done it better in my head and I'm that version is always

7:27Paige DeSorbo: right um since we're getting really deep already I'm gonna say one more thing mental health moment do you know that there's the people that I'm most jealous of are people who um they don't need to be in the arena like they don't need to perform perform for people and performing comes in all shapes and forms i'm not just talking comedy but like they actually just enjoy the world they just enjoy life as it is they just they consume stuff they they have hobbies and and that's all they want and that's all they need and they're the only fucking fulfilled people in this planet i swear to

8:03Amanda Batula: god i've met one person i've met one person like that these types of people also simultaneously

8:12Paige DeSorbo: simultaneously don't have anxiety like i think it's non-neurodivergent people the only person

8:19Amanda Batula: i know like this is my brother i have like my brother genuinely i don't think i've ever seen him get upset about anything like literally anything which some people say he should some people say he should some people would say he's asleep so that's why he's not being attention

8:39Paige DeSorbo: just he's actually asleep and he was maybe listen for once i do say whenever i see a brother meme

8:45Amanda Batula: i think of gary yeah everyone should think of gary but he genuinely never has anxiety about anything

8:52Paige DeSorbo: and i'm like what is that life that was like when my brother he doesn't they don't define it anxiety my brother would be like i just feel really weird today i'm like yeah you're getting married you're like a little you feel he's like there's just i think i have this like something's

9:10Amanda Batula: on my stomach that's a feeling f-e-e-l-i-n-g can i have another hot take yeah have you seen the

9:18Paige DeSorbo: fuck you trend on tiktok no it's basically girls they all say fuck you to the camera and everyone's like who said it best and i don't know i think it's happening in california okay and like the girls are all perfect like girls have never done anything wrong ever however this has not come across my desk i'm it's not hitting like a new york fuck you because the girls are all like fuck you fuck you it's a like it's a challenge with your own friends like it's multiple people in the video who says the best fuck you okay got it now you earlier were joking and said fuck you and I said that's that's how you say fuck you I don't know I don't know what it is culturally but I want to make sure the gigglers if they ever find themselves in this position say it the right way you can't be in a fight and then suddenly drop a mid fuck you did immediately take pen to paper

10:10Amanda Batula: and I delivered that fuck you you're like let me write this down now the way I like to do it

10:17Paige DeSorbo: I'm gonna put it on I'm put on now by the way I think I've rarely said fuck you maybe like once in like a rage road raid road rage incident when i was in the back seat and just feeling

10:26Amanda Batula: frisky because you know i'm not driving different situations you're not i'm when i say fuck you

10:31Paige DeSorbo: 98 of the time i'm not mad it's to my or it's to myself i'm not even i'm happy i know we do reality i didn't say fuck you on reality tv you did but like you did it well like you did it justice i just i'm not a big fuck you person Wait, well, you're not a big

10:52Amanda Batula: You don't swear in general Like, you rarely say Like, fucking bitch, asshole Where I Which is so bad Because my mom doesn't swear at all But my dad, like And that's why I'm Kim's favorite Yeah, it is

11:12Paige DeSorbo: Because she knows I'm a good influence on you That's why Kim, like, she gets it Can you give me your best fuck you? you have to well i have to get like are you crying

11:29Amanda Batula: you have to have heart okay you have to really think of something in your head and just be like fuck you like there has to be an emphasis of like why don't you go fuck yourself oh it's so good you're so good i can't believe i could i threw that out at the party two weeks ago like now

11:49Paige DeSorbo: not to be you know obsessed with technique however you notice a lot of people say fuck you they start they go a load of height that's wrong you saw a page went side to side she said fuck you fuck you okay and the way i like to do it is i like to emphasize the four because you don't have say fa yeah fa is weak you have to go fuck you fuck fuck you you do put an emphasis on the f

12:14Amanda Batula: you because these girls are like fuck you fuck fuck you you gotta put your teeth to your lips they have to touch teeth to lips fuck you need a good f fuck you wow that was real that's important

12:31Paige DeSorbo: Fuck you. Oh, that was actually, I don't like it so loud. I want you to actually go loud than soft. Ready? Fuck you. Fuck you.

12:40Amanda Batula: I got to stop. My neighbors are going to be like, is everything okay? You guys, this is female rage.

12:45Paige DeSorbo: I feel like I just had three months of therapy. Wait, speaking of female rage. No.

12:58Amanda Batula: No. So many things. where do you even start where do you even start i had the most 2016 day and like so last night i'm like okay i have to get up early tomorrow i have to go i have a daphne meeting all day i'm gonna be like at an office from like 9 a.m to 5 p.m you're in charge you could have moved it to 10 talk to the boss you're complaining about when you chose to start the meeting gonna run through my brain so sunday night i'm like i'm gonna shower i'm gonna pick out my outfit for the next day at the office like i'm so excited i'm gonna look so cute like i air dried my hair

13:40Paige DeSorbo: so i'm gonna curl it in the morning well you're so cute i could cry set my alarm for like 7 a.m

13:47Amanda Batula: i'm gonna wake up i'm gonna do my ice roll my lymphatic like i'm gonna do all my morning stuff i'm like so excited to just like be a girl in the morning so excited for it

14:00Amanda Batula: I wake up promptly at 5 a.m. okay now look I am no stranger to a vaginal issue but I'm a UTI girl that's what I know it's what I can deal with I wake up with a raging yeast

14:18Paige DeSorbo: infection i feel like your vagina is just like can i have a day like your vagina is so over your shit we're all over it my dms are just full of stuff about your vagina vagina is the tiktok

14:33Amanda Batula: sound where it's like i don't give a ranch damn

14:39why are you so good at that accent i spent a lot of time in the south

14:46Amanda Batula: anyway so what was i saying you're saying you woke up with a yeast infection so i wake up with a yeast infection and i'm like i like i have no idea how to tackle this like i this is this is not my jurisdiction i'm in a pickle i'm a utah girl like i have no idea and i'm like i have to get up in like two hours like this is so annoying so i like lay back in bed i'm like i'm like trying to figure out like do i don't have any monistat because i'm like i don't have anything yeah you're cooking bread in your between your legs i have to wait until any store opens to like or get a monistat so i like wait till like 7 a.m get a monistat get a yogurt because i'm like i don't freaking know so then by that time like i'm awake like i couldn't go back to sleep like i'm awake yeah and I'm like fuck it like I can't do my makeup I'm not curling my hair like fuck this outfit like I have it it felt so 2016 page like I have to go to work in the morning and I have to be like corporate and my biggest takeaway from the situation was as a UTI girl I'm so much stronger than the yeast infection girls like i'm sorry what you guys are dealing with is peanuts literal i would take a yeast infection every day of my life for the rest of my life than ever get a uti again can you explain first of all a yeast infection you literally can order something over the counter from cvs immediately and and all you need is an ice pack you're good as new i did a whole i put in a whole full work day today if that was a uti would have fully taken me out for like

16:35Paige DeSorbo: the whole day oh my god so you're asking anyway the universe to send you yeast infections instead of things are going well instead of utis i'm rebranding get with it and next time you guys have a yeast infection and you're being a little bitch about it say at least literally suck it up

16:54Amanda Batula: suck it up because pain doesn't feel bad for you child's play truly i just feel like a yeast

17:01Paige DeSorbo: infection needs to be rebranded it's like there's no way to nicely or like glamorously have a yeast infection uti i feel like sounds like science like i'm like i have uti like i'm yeah it's a ufo ufo like people don't know what it is because i feel like as we are of the generation where like

17:19Amanda Batula: as children when boys talked about things that happened to girls it was immediately deemed as like gross like i feel like i remember the first time i heard about like a yeast infection it was because like a guy fingered a girl and she had a yeast infection like shut the fuck up you dweeb literally and so i feel like we're the generation that changes like the stigma around like

17:42Paige DeSorbo: our vaginas i do also feel like you are so aware of your vagina like sometimes i forget that she's there i truly forget when she's there like especially if i've been traveling i haven't had sex in a while and next thing i'm like oh time to wake up babe i could pick mine out of a lineup

19:50Amanda Batula: backstage of a talk show is so if any guy listened to our our podcast for the first time ever just today they'd be like all they do is talk about their vagina their pussies that's all i talk about

20:04Paige DeSorbo: there's all girl podcasters talking about their pussies how much they think men are dumb and they make these voices for men it doesn't even make sense so behind when you okay long story short when you're backstage that you don't have a in your green room you don't have a bathroom yeah it's like going to a hallway um and by the way i'm with like people doing glam i'm with a photographer i'm with a stylist i'm with a manager so i have to subtly subtly be like oh i'm gonna go check on myself and then you know when it's like it's it started to flow and i had like diarrhea um because of i love that you like whispered because of the period no we're gonna hear it it's a podcast but i didn't want to tell like i was like yeah i'm on my period but you don't want to be like i'm on my period with diarrhea so anyway i get back and the girl one is enough the poor stylist she had to tuck in my shirt and didn't want it to like untuck so she starts taking these pins and pinning my skirt to my top in my head i know i'm about to go to the bathroom 400 more times before i get on on stage or whatever they call it so i keep having to undo the it was a nightmare and then in the bathroom i guess it was earlier that day or later that day something happened and i used a cardboard tampon which wait you told me this story i told you well i also posted about it did we talk about cardboard tampons i feel like we did well i just want to say anyone using cardboard tampons stay strong because um that's how true

21:38Amanda Batula: characters build no it really is i don't use tampons anymore yeah you not a thing that i do the rosary not a thing that i do not a thing that i care about um what i do care about is actually i have a lot of hot takes to that not hot takes i just have i have pop culture takes let's get into some pop culture foaming at the mouth pussy to pop culture let's go give it to me if you are someone on the internet that's saying a negative thing towards Alex Earl for going after Tom Brady, but you have not said a negative thing about Tom Brady going after Alex Earl. I don't align with you. I have nothing in common with you.

22:30Paige DeSorbo: Wait, I didn't see any. I didn't see anything about. I didn't see any of this.

22:36Amanda Batula: Because Tom Brady and Alex Earl were spotted together in St. Bart's over New Year's. people were like up in her comments and she's a girl she's gen z so like they're posting tiktoks every single day real time like her true true fans know what she's doing every single day and so for her to not post that's like unusual for them yeah so she when she posted and like the pictures were coming out people were in her comments being like you're like a uh uh what's it called not a clout chaser but like a clout chaser you're no you're a social climber and blah blah blah and all this stuff like you just broke up with your boyfriend like blah blah blah obviously alex is the one that broke up with braxton yeah so yeah she wasn't injured she didn't need time to heal like she could go get a new like i don't get that whole i do not get the whole narrative of people being like you didn't wait long enough i wasn't injured i literally do not have an injury i did not need healing time i was good to go like also she did not see that man

23:43Paige DeSorbo: for six months obviously they had broken up way before then yeah they may have and also in general i'm not speaking for anyone but especially me by the time i break up with a man i've already gone through that breakup over the last six months of how i'm gonna you're so done by the time you actually force yourself to be like i can't do this mentally we told you do stuff on a whim

24:07Amanda Batula: now we're exiting like see sorry sorry we're smart so i did see i did see like a controversial

24:15Paige DeSorbo: tiktok though it could be totally made up but about how her and tom may have known each other before did you see that i didn't oh so tom brady to get into sports played for the tampa bay buccaneers now i'm not super knowledgeable about florida but tampa bay is close to miami

24:32Amanda Batula: wait a minute wait a minute she went to university of miami wait a minute you're saying that there is a rumor that they could have been like known each other when she was in college so when she

24:44Paige DeSorbo: was in college she had said on her podcast at some point that she had a relationship with a guy who was 20 years older than her but like never said who he was and then ended up dating brax and whatever so then people are trying to be like is this the guy because like they just seem so familiar with each other yeah okay i'm just spreading pure gossip that's pure gossip we just

25:12Paige DeSorbo: we're literally starting rumors about 22 year old alex earl i'm so sorry but i know i'm just adding

25:17Amanda Batula: color so mad for her i'm like she's a young girl she's on vacation with a bunch of her friends she's like why would she why would it be her fault for being with tom brady and cry about a guy named braxton like who gives a shit he's also fine it very clearly seems like they had like a normal breakup like no one's gone on the internet and talked badly about the other one like what a blessing yeah good for them who cares also sorry i just like if you're tom brady what the fuck are you doing what are you doing this has took a turn this has took a turn the turntables have turned she is a 25 year old girl you have she's closer to your kid's age than your ex-wife's age and how people aren't being like oh people are like oh alex is using him for like some type of fame he clearly knows who alex earl is if he was like a normal 50 year old guy who was retired and on the on tv every week he would be dating low-key no he wouldn't be with the number one influencer in the fucking world so how people aren't saying that about him like he's clout chasing like obviously tom brady is so famous but i'm sorry alex earl is pretty famous for like here and now for her demo they know who she is over Tom Brady a bazillion times over I just think it's so I'm so over like the narrative that men can do whatever they want at any age and women can't do whatever they want at any age like she's getting hated on because she's

27:01Paige DeSorbo: too young this is like i'm sorry if i was 50 years old i wouldn't want to be at like a random party with a dj with influencers around me that's just not my idea of a good time but if that is what brings him joy i mean that's she's 25 like that's what you do but like by that age some girl said

27:24Amanda Batula: on tiktok uh this was like this was like weeks ago this wasn't even in pertaining to this at all sometimes I'm on like catch a predator like pedophile side of TikTok and then it gets really intense and I'm like yeah you have to get off and this girl was saying as you get older if you don't find things about the person your age and older attractive and you find younger like sorry that's like a little that's like strange well that's part of growing up you know

27:59Paige DeSorbo: like you used to like boys who wear their hair backwards and like didn't have a beard when you were like 13 right and then one day you wake up and you're like i want a guy who has a chiseled

28:07Amanda Batula: jaw and a beard it's just part of growing up now i'm like salt and pepper gray hair

28:12Paige DeSorbo: fuck yeah like i'm obsessed i mean don't get me going don't get me going on someone in a nursing home like get a gray hair guy going get a gray hair guy get a gray hair guy going don't make us

28:27Amanda Batula: start that segment don't make us start that segment don't make us start that segment um but

28:33Paige DeSorbo: what i was saying is for all the girls out there who are getting older and are worried about like guys liking younger girls i have a theory yeah the same dudes who are like 45 hitting on 23 year olds are the same dudes that are like i want to go hang out with my guy friends at a strip club and look at girls who don't actually want to fuck me like that's the same category of guy that like they're creepy they're just creepy misogynistic dudes i just this is a perfect

29:02Amanda Batula: example of like this is a situation or like a society norm that i think so differently of now that i'm in my 30s than when i was in my 20s in my 20s i was like yeah of course like guys just like can live like that like they can marry a 25 year old when they're 40 well like

29:19Paige DeSorbo: think about what you talk to a 22 year old about like snapchat what are you listening to i don't

29:25Amanda Batula: know and not i'm obviously not on the girls part because the majority of women are just like

29:32Paige DeSorbo: we're emotionally more intelligent yes but still under 26 your brain is not fully formed and that's

29:38Amanda Batula: why it's not cool anyway my next pop culture thing that i would love to talk about is timothy chalamet getting up on the stage okay and and telling the world that well i didn't love that was like it was so corporate like partner and foundation but like the message was there the message was there i wanted to be like of all the speeches you've given this these are the words you've picked for this one yeah i love when a man is like this is my girlfriend and i'm obsessed with her and she these are all the reasons i love it scream i love that too because it's kind of

30:15Paige DeSorbo: like the elephant in the room not that she looks like an elephant at all she's snatched um but that kylie jenner is in the room because kylie jenner is richer than like a lot of the people in that room kylie jenner is actually gonna buy this event and then host it next year like fuck you but it's also like kind of cute of kylie like she really steps back and lets her man like she wears these just like black dresses yeah she lets him just have his moment she could come in there and fucking take over if she felt like it like like kim k would be like sit down on the party yeah no i think she seems so supportive and sweet she's and she's letting him have his moment so for him to then reciprocate like that because it is true you are a part in a partnership at that point when you guys are in such like a public eye like you have to be like a business partnership yeah in a way totally but i like that can we discuss um meg stalter's outfit i mean with paul dallas from hacks a comedic genius when they showed up like that i said game over i've seen what i need to see i i didn't have to watch anything else it was also what's crazy about that is kylie and him are at the event that you're making fun of them that's so iconic and i feel like also they are a good couple where they would laugh you know like you know there's obvious i think there's definitely

31:38Amanda Batula: like for sure hollywood couples that would be like that's so rude no that was that was iconic

31:45Paige DeSorbo: the thing with meg though is like i think she was trying to make it like look at us like we're so silly and goofy but like meg ate like meg looked gorgeous like stunning in every way her makeup everything looked incredible did you know that uber did uber wrapped grace like said something to me about that and i was like um this didn't come across my desk okay just so gen z knows about

32:09Amanda Batula: it because josephine told me about it he she was like do you know that they did uber wrapped let me show you yours like had to get how could she see yours well she had to get to i was like how

32:18Paige DeSorbo: do you do it and she was like i just got so scared that it was public i was like oh my god alert the police or the police it's on everyone's linkedin automatically what are you talking about

32:31Amanda Batula: so she goes on my phone and like gets to where it is and shows me it's aggressive it's egregious it's so attacking it's one of the best things i've ever seen in my life what kind of data how many times you oh then it brings you over to uber eats it goes now let's do uber eats how many rides you took how many different places you went how many restaurants you ordered from and then it pinpoints a clear item that is your favorite that you ordered the majority of do you want to guess mine this is why i reacted like that oh um the type of food and it's mcdonald's no it's not a brand or anything it's like a pasta no okay um italians are upset um i was actually like a little shocked by french fries no caesar no no um

33:34Paige DeSorbo: i feel like you're gonna be like chinese chinese no no but you ordered that on the phone yeah i ordered that could be what is it a cheeseburger i was gonna say a cheeseburger but i thought never i never would have guessed that for myself you know that's my favorite food

33:50Amanda Batula: but now i'm like wait i do i do be at home it's a good source of protein just ordering cheese what do you what do you get what do you get on it all different stuff you can't put me in a box

34:02Paige DeSorbo: what do you dress it with how do you style your cheeseburger how do you outfit it how do you accessorize that penny vodka um i have to look at mine and you have to look at my thing is i i get like hyper fixated on meals so like i already could tell you like i'll do the same meal for like three months it's like no that's same i order the same

34:25Amanda Batula: cheeseburger from five napkin burger what's like if it works it works yeah like i'm not inventing

34:29Paige DeSorbo: reinventing the wheel here why would you try a different places penny al vodka when you don't want to risk it going bad also you know when you order from a place so much that when something's

34:40Amanda Batula: slightly different you're like he made this wrong yeah no and when you get like a bad like that will make me not order from a place again and like it was but even if it's like not bad but it's like

34:51Paige DeSorbo: oh normally there's three pieces of lettuce and then you put two this week okay interesting um wait can i say one more hot take about alex earl yeah it's not really about alex earl but in general st bart's everyone on the yachts yeah hot take about yachts my nightmare really a yacht is my biggest phobia to be stuck on a party in the middle of the ocean that you can't leave no thank you like no thank you and i know there's like rooms in it but like again you know when you just need to be out of that energy like you're like i don't want to hear people i don't want to see people i don't like my outfit i don't like who i am with these people i need to remove myself i've embarrassed myself i need to go that's how i end my parties that's how i ended my 20s like

35:48Amanda Batula: i was like i'm a bad person when i'm around you i have to go

36:00Amanda Batula: telling people straight to their face when they've made you worse

36:06Paige DeSorbo: i don't feel like my best self in this situation i want to go to be on a boat no i guess maybe i've also watched like too many here's the thing you've watched so many i was just gonna say like you're not gonna get pushed off here's what i'll say when you break it down as a yacht connoisseur

36:24Amanda Batula: it is yes it's our worst nightmare being stranded anywhere and not being able to like get a car and go you can't uber eats except i feel like yachts are so um what's the word i'm looking for so exclusive and it's so like right like not everyone just like has a yacht that when you're curating a group of people to like go on vacation with it's a it's a big trip like you want to be around them i would i don't know like if me and you went on a yacht super rich people freak

36:56Paige DeSorbo: me out super rich people scare me i don't know what kind of demonic stuff they're doing i also there's men around sometimes when there's yachts there's men i don't know so like imagine your friends like hey let's go on this guy's yacht that's how it always starts because women don't need a yacht like no woman has a small dick to be like i need a yacht i was just gonna say

37:18Amanda Batula: Do you want to know who loves rich people the most? Like rich men. Other rich men. I was going to say not as rich men. Like if you have ever. They're all showing off for each other. Have you ever like that's why it's so crazy that women get the gold digging like stereotype. One of my favorite hobbies is watching men be in a conversation with a man that they want to be like. like or want to be and it usually is like people like people that aren't as rich as like the other

37:53Paige DeSorbo: and it's very fascinating and i'm like kiss the men have their own hierarchies yeah they're literally flirting with rich guys men love impressing each other well it's like when a man meets an athlete and they're just like so like i actually hurt my knee too no once you know

38:13Amanda Batula: so i got into like a little bit of a debate

38:19Amanda Batula: i'm an ally so like i'm gonna stand up for like what i believe

38:26Amanda Batula: and i explained to to some men allegedly i said hey let's do an exercise let's do let's think up of a hypothetical situation and the hypothetical situation is we are at a broadway play we're watching go with me on this we're watching a broadway play the two stars of the broadway play both men the play is over they're bowing they're saying oh my god we we finished the play both stars of the play look at each other and they said you did a great job and the other one says no you did a great job and they said let's take our shirts off they proceed to take their shirts off and exchange shirts because they did a good job during the play is this a made-up scenario yes this is a hypothetical okay i looked at the men and i said now is this season two of heated rivalry what are you explaining i go in that situation wouldn't you say wow that's a little gay but that's okay but because those are two gay men on broadway telling each other they did a good job at the play now all of a sudden if we're at giant stadium it's not gay and

39:48Amanda Batula: and let me tell you i offended people like

39:53Paige DeSorbo: wait but my thing is i've never seen the end of a play two men like that's no but i'm saying it's too gay for a play like this is an outfit get the fuck away from me like gay men would be like i'm switching outfits it doesn't match my pants no 100 valid which all things go back to the same thing which is heated rivalry and i'm trying to move on but i can't but yeah with the odds i don't like it imagine if something happens imagine if someone's following you i don't want to name drop i don't want to do this but i did get a dm from someone unheated rivalry and my whole life changed after and all i saw the follow

40:40Amanda Batula: come in and i immediately clicked follow back and then i sent the first dm and i just said i'm obsessed with you you never send the first dm never and i was like wait so what's the lore like are like it was kip and i was just like obsessed like i'm waiting for your story like i'm logged

41:01Paige DeSorbo: in on your story so anyway it was the best day ever do we need kip on the pod to get a gay going for like our first get a gay going we need kip on the pod that might be iconic okay we'll see what we could do administratively yeah to make this work wait i'm obsessed with that i was really excited about it it is also kind of awkward that they're doing all the award shows but he did rivalry isn't nominated because it's like made in canada and i'm like no i know oh i didn't even

41:33Amanda Batula: think of that i thought you were gonna say because it like missed award season because it just came

41:37Paige DeSorbo: out wait no i guess it has to be like international or something i don't know but it's yeah it's not nominated for anything which is like but like we're practically canadian no i know we touch canada

41:52Amanda Batula: wait that makes me so upset yeah we have to very large of the academy because it's kind of like my favorite ever vintage store i've ever been to is in canada i can't remember the name somebody knows though i'll put it in the newsletter actually i bought so many things

42:10Paige DeSorbo: from there wait can i make fun of men one more time i mean we built a whole career on it hannah like yes des made me watch true detective it's so good okay it's good but like it's for men because like there's a scene where matthew mcconaughey goes into a bar and there's two like strong men and he like says something and then beats them both up and then comes back in the car and i'm sitting there and i go oh that's your guy's version of porn like that's like we watch red carpets you watch matthew mcconaughey beat up two men because i'm like by the way there's no way matthew mcconaughey could just walk in and beat up two men who were younger than him and stronger than him but like men love that shit because they think they are matthew mcconaughey and they're like wouldn't it be sick if i took on two men and beat them up also he didn't even kill them and they're just laying on the ground like it just it doesn't make i don't want to be a part of their

43:07Amanda Batula: like weird fantasies men love movies if there's a tank in it any kind of tank any type of tank carrying any some type of vessel they love a movie based on like a vessel they love a like metal they love a past war or a futuristic war yeah yeah and they love like a mystery that like

43:36Paige DeSorbo: you know the guy's gonna solve it like you just know that he's gonna solve it but he has some problems at home his family's falling apart at home but he will figure out the murder and like he did cheat on his wife with a very beautiful 19 year old and he and he's dealing with the difficulties he's blindsided by his wife who left 17 years ago

44:05Amanda Batula: no if i had a nickel okay not only like did i have i dated so many gay men but if i had a nickel for the amount of men that are like that have said to me like yeah i was cheated on in college and like that's why at 34 like i just no one can get cheated on in college

44:19Paige DeSorbo: it's not a thing no one actually dates in college it's made up dating is not real in college

44:25Amanda Batula: you're welcome you're welcome as an adult but honestly like before 30 like i don't fucking know you i literally don't care about you like i never cared i don't care goodbye college i don't even remember no call everyone's blackout nothing counts in college you know what's crazy is though like that is where the majority i feel like of people well actually now in the year 2026 um I think there's like a statistic that the majority of people get married whatever the age used to be it's like five years after that age or something I want to say it's like 32 is like the average age but I feel like when we were in college I feel like there's so many people I know that like they met in college and now they're married well especially if they weren't

45:17Paige DeSorbo: in a like big city it was like that's college is where you meet people you can't go back to your small town you've already hooked up with everyone in that town i've already told everyone here to fuck off i can't i can't go back no it oh also another man who's going through a hard time which i think is important to me no we really have to highlight these situations we have to highlight male stories have you heard of ryan lochte wait this is our segment male men's stories male stories today have you heard yeah do you know who ryan lochte is of course well he's like the really hot olympian who like had a reading level of a like seven year old

46:11Amanda Batula: but everyone was like we love he was like he was the gronk of swimming yes and like he couldn't spell his own name but he was like fun he was a good personality he like yeah he bleached his hair

46:21Paige DeSorbo: yeah he bleached his hair one year everyone's like this guy's great yeah um he's since gone downhill but it happens with not to okay not to like stereotype but as an olympian it's olympian athletes but specifically olympians a lot of these sports like it's not sustainable able to make money unless you're in the olympics which is every four years and you have to be like number one to get sponsorship so anyway he kind of falls off he's now selling his medals no no wait that makes me sad so if anyone wants ryan lochte's medals wait i feel like another man what happened what happened after though i love how i didn't remember the details of how he got there but shit went down like he has long hair now i think you're like all i know is he cut bangs and like it's not good he's over his hair i do think like did he do drugs was he married did

47:23Amanda Batula: he get a divorce like did he just like jump out of the water after the last medal and like just never thought about paying taxes again like what happened good question definitely divorce okay

47:36Paige DeSorbo: definitely divorce he did appear on reality tv that will do it that'll do it

47:43Amanda Batula: crack the code on this one he'll be better in about eight to seven

47:47Paige DeSorbo: eight to ten business years he also did seek treatment for alcoholism in 2018 which we love and then he also had a near fatal car crash jesus um in 2023 so ryan lochte has been through it

48:04Amanda Batula: pray to saint anthony for him what year would that have been that he was like the hot thing

48:08Paige DeSorbo: like 2010 rio was oh okay it started in 2026 at rio 2026 claimed sorry 20 2016 the rio olympics there was all this drama because he claimed he was robbed at gunpoint and there was like all this i guess he i don't i'm not getting into details it was very complicated but he had an altercation it didn't go well oh and he got sued for foreclosure of his home i don't know but like there's stuff going on over there basically look you guys i'm gonna need help and

48:44Amanda Batula: they need us to support them speaking of the male loneliness epidemic i this girl was talking about um i was just gonna say on tv no i literally don't say anything on tv this girl on tiktok was talking about how the men are so good at like marketing things like they take all of our stuff like short king and they just like remarket it where like getting lip filler and like botox and they call it look maxing going on a diet they call it like biohacking and she was like talking about the male loneliness epidemic and she was like what if there are that many single men like there's we're single too like the women are also single but we're not saying we're lonely so like what constitute loneliness like just not having sex and so she was like you guys don't have a lonely problem you have like a girls don't want to sleep with you that's the problem why don't

49:44Paige DeSorbo: they want to sleep with you well I would say one further that some of them hate women and that's why we exist to make sure that it stays that way um do also adding to the male loneliness epidemic not trying to like solve any problems here because we can't but sports betting i think is like taking down the men wait

50:07Amanda Batula: and no one's talking about it sometimes i'm like i have like my niche girl things and i'm like guys just like wouldn't get it and then i forget that there's like niche guy things yeah i had no idea all the men were running home at night and putting their house up for sale

50:25Paige DeSorbo: no one's talking about it men are out here like putting their refrigerators up like just dropping cash and so basically you can bet on anything like you can bet like this guy's gonna dribble three times before he shoots a foul shot like you can bet these hockey guys are gonna make out after they fight like you can literally bet on it's like us betting on reality tv being like luann's gonna like kick Ramona in the shit that's crazy sports betting platforms get these celebs like you know Kevin Hart and um just like big cool celebs just being it's a literal drug also the house always wins and also these men are not making enough money to begin with to be betting and I'm sorry one thing that will piss me off about my husband is you spending your money by betting on other men who were more athletic than you you could you could you weren't good enough to play and you weren't good enough to win the bat what do i have to work with here oh my god you're a loser no

51:34Amanda Batula: i really i had no idea it was as big of an epidemic because they don't talk about it with us

51:39Paige DeSorbo: but then it's like they think it's it's honestly smoking for men like you know how like when someone's smoking it's like yeah it's bad and it's killing us but like we're cool that's how they feel like you don't bet bro you know i bet like i'm a bad boy i'm betting i'm betting and they start you off with like a hundred dollars for free and next you know i've never dated a guy

52:00Amanda Batula: that's bet liked that like that and i've never dated someone that was like super into video games and those are like two really big things that i feel like women are like complaining about a lot

52:09Paige DeSorbo: where they're like it's unhinged behavior yeah like my one note about Taylor and Travis who I love is that I know Travis is addicted to video games in a way I don't know if he's addicted but he plays a lot of it and I think he should just be sitting down listening to Taylor play guitar all day I've I've messed with guys like in college where like you go to his dorm room and there's like eight guys playing video games you're like sitting there but you don't know any better so

52:36Amanda Batula: you're like wait i've like never experienced that i feel like i missed out on like a major part of like getting annoyed as a woman though no but i feel like it built character i've done like a guy

52:48Paige DeSorbo: being like please come over please come over please come over and then he's playing like the gun game with his friends and like i don't want to play because i don't want to play a game that i don't know how to play and i'm not going to win so i'm like i'm not going to play or they're playing fifa and then they're like trying to talk to you about it i'm like i don't hear about your imaginary game of pretending your other men on a field i don't want to hear about this and but a lot of men get addicted to these things and a lot of competitive athletes like it's like a scapebism well andy murray who i love who's a really great tennis player who just retired is with this like gorgeous woman at the top of his career she was like i'm going to divorce him because he's addicted to video games because these men all they want to do is compete okay but i will say something

53:31Amanda Batula: and this actually is a little bit in favor of the men. I do feel really bad for a lot of professional athletes, women included, but I do feel really bad for a lot of professional athletes because doing something every single day for your entire life and then one day, not only can you not do it, you can't do any of it. Like you have to completely pivot. But the mental stress that must be for guys that have been in like played tennis and like golf and whatever, like since they were children to them being like, OK, go be a real estate agent now. Like like I couldn't imagine the girls.

54:19Paige DeSorbo: It's like really fucked up. I know some of the guys I'd see like in college, like they were like famous, like the quarterback at Wisconsin would be on ESPN every weekend and he'd walk around campus. and everyone was like he's famous and this was before they got paid they didn't get paid when i was there nowadays they get paid i'm sure there's so then afterwards a lot of men with

54:38Amanda Batula: mental health like in this exact situation why don't they talk about it at all i think that

54:44Paige DeSorbo: there's like they're putting them in some like kind of rehab programs like how to how to it's literally try to get back into reality like how to be a normal person dude it's like what they do

54:55Amanda Batula: far off from like leaving reality tv it's like and no a hundred regular people normal people

55:01Paige DeSorbo: that have friends slowly acclimate to like what people are like i mean i only played till i was 21 but like that's why i'm a little weird because that's all i knew yeah like socializing was not my number one like socializing i was like la la la i have a tennis much like yeah i feel like you were like and this is my art form i literally when i met you i was

55:27Amanda Batula: ready to retire i was like i was like i've socialized everywhere onto every foreign land i've socialized like i've done it all so that's why i think it's so funny being off somewhere else where they're like you never got out of bed and it's like sorry because i had partied from 17

55:45Paige DeSorbo: years old i was 10 years into it i was 10 years i never party and they're like hey it's 3 a.m go dance and i'm like i'm scared i want to pick me up i don't like this at all and that's why i don't

55:59Amanda Batula: want to go on a yacht see i want to go on a yacht but just with us oh yeah for sure but also i know

56:07Paige DeSorbo: you and after like six hours you're gonna be like i want to go home how long are you staying on this You don't know me that well.

56:15Amanda Batula: I love luxury. Okay.
