Okay, remember when I told you how excited I was about Lululemon dropping their fall collection on September 8? Well, the collection is finally here and I just got my hands on a few pieces and let's just say these will be in my rotation on repeat. I got the Groove Yoga Bra and the High Rise Matching Short. They're so buttery soft. They have laser cut pocket openings for optional and removable cups, which I love that because sometimes I don't want to have a bra insert when I'm working out, but sometimes I do. Performance never compromises style at Lululemon. I love their vintage-inspired styles and everything comes in such an assortment of colors. So if you don't want to stick to black, which is my traditional go-to, you can explore other colors. Like, I love a burgundy workout set. New styles from Lululemon's fall collection are here.
Popular colors go fast, so be on the lookout for those drops. And if something doesn't work out for you, free returns always. That's lululemon.com, lululemon.com.
This episode is sponsored by Cars.com. I feel like your car says a lot about you. It's transportation, storage, and honestly, kind of a personality test. Maybe you need something for weekend road trips, something you can actually parallel park in the city, or just enough trunk space for an emergency outfit and backup shoes. Personally, I like options and I'm very specific. So this is where Cars.com comes in. Cars.com has the tools that make your car shopping way less overwhelming. With more than 200 advanced search filters, you can narrow things down based on what actually matters to you. Deal badges help show how fairly a vehicle is priced, so you can browse with more confidence and fewer chaotic tabs open, which I think we can all appreciate. Start your search with Cars.com. Where to next?
I was thinking about how women have so many little things we have to do when we're getting home that you have to be aware of.
Like, so many people have my location.
And you have to share your ETA, you have to check the route, you have to text everyone I'm home.
And if your friend, like, doesn't text you, "Oh, you got home," you're calling the FBI.
Yep, yep. And we joke about it because it's so normal to us, but you're constantly paying attention. Even when you're exhausted and just want to get home, your brain still has to be on. You're like, is this guy going the right route? Am I in the right place? Who's around me? What's happening?
Yeah, there's truly no clocking out of your safety.
And that's why riding in a Waymo feels different. It's an autonomous ride with an empty driver's seat, so once you get in, you have this private space that's actually just yours.
And you know, I love alone time and I truly feel like it's such a luxury in a Waymo.
Especially after being social. Like, I love everyone, but like...
Please, nobody speak to me.
Like, give me 20 minutes. I want music, the right temperature. There's no compromising, and you can customize the ride, put on your own music, answer texts. You ignore it all night, stare out the window. You actually have a minute where you're not thinking about everyone else.
And that's the thing, it's not even necessarily about doing something. Sometimes it's just, you want to sit there and not speak.
And put your guard down for a second and feel safe.
Which truly women deserve.
We deserve to disassociate safely for 20 minutes.
Yeah, I mean, put that on a t-shirt, for real.
And obviously, safety is a huge part of why that feeling matters. Knowing Waymo's safer, there's something refreshing in having that space where you can just be yourself and let Waymo handle the driving.
And we spend enough of our lives being on.
Exactly.
We don't need to be on in the car.
Getting around shouldn't require so much mental energy. And if this sounds like your ideal way to get around too, download the Waymo app and use code GIGLY to get 20% off your next two rides. You can check out the full terms in the app.
We love a discount.
And if Waymo isn't in your city yet, head to waymo.com/gigly to sign up and help bring Waymo to you.
Sup, gigglers? Jerry, fix the wifi. Manifest that shit. We can't be managed.
I mean, the day just got away from me.
What's up, my grandma guarding gigglers?
Grandma garden?
Guarding.
Guarding, grandma guarding.
The gigglers rode. Nana called me. She was like, "What did I do to deserve all this love? I keep getting messages."
Oh, wait, what? Yeah, wait, where did they? What means of, what platform did they?
It's on threads. Nana doesn't even know what a thread is. Besides what may be on her gorgeous sweater.
Love. Let me just preface that I am doing something that's like so evil to do to my friend. And I made Hannah wake up at 7:30 in the morning because she's in LA. I have to catch a flight and I was like, we have to record Giggly Squad. And this was the only time that worked for us. So Hannah's like, Hannah's still fully sleeping. So whatever she says in this next 45 minutes, she's not liable for, it's not her. Her hair looks, if you're listening, her hair looks stunning. I've never seen it so perfectly tousled because she went to bed, what, probably three, three, four hours ago.
It's still done. Who knew a curl could hold?
You literally look like you could Irish dance at any minute. You have the perfect ringlet.
Wait, @AthenaAlberto, she's incredible.
She's incredible.
If you question how a curl could hold, just watch this episode. No, I had my LA show last night. And Paige was like, hey, I gotta like do like a 7:45 record the next morning. I was like, sure.
I was like, we could do it later at night and it could just come out a little bit later in the day.
I was like, absolutely not.
I can totally get up at 7:30.
I can do it. And then I'm getting texts at like 7:20. She's like, I mean, I'm ready when you are.
No, it's honestly so mean of me because let me tell you, I had the slowest morning. I woke up, I took a shower.
I had iced coffee from yesterday, old iced coffee that I poured in here. And then I had a lactaid creamer, threw that in. Let's fucking go. I'm not fucking around this pod. I'm awake now. I'm awake now.
I mean, let's get into it. Okay, one thing I want to say that I've been thinking about all week.
I mean, and all morning because you've just been waiting for me.
Literally, I'm just like, what am I going to talk about on the pod? And I rarely do a mental health moment of the day or of the week because I'm like,
You go, that's for Hannah's thing.
Push it down like the rest of us, okay? Cry to your mom in one Uber ride and then suck it the fuck up. I saw this TikTok the other day and it was like a funny TikTok and a girl was saying something about, I didn't overreact, if anything, like I underreacted. And you know, when you're like in your mid twenties, maybe even early, late, whatever, and you do something and you're like, that was a crazy situation. And it sticks in your brain so much that you think about it years later before you're falling asleep at night, like you just lay in bed and you're like, remember when I?
Wait, can you not talk about the bed right now? Cause like I'll fall asleep. I swear to God, if you bring up sleep or the bed, I will fall asleep right now. I'm fighting for my life. And that's how I was like, what kind of pillow were you sleeping on? Tell it to me slowly.
I'm also fully wearing my Daphne Hannity pajamas right now, like.
No, is it the best sleeper ever? I like, I inadvertently made a pajama line for pregnant moms and I didn't even mean to.
I was gonna say, you made a pajama line just for me and pregnant moms. I am a pregnant mom.
I get so many pregnant moms being like, hey, this shirt that ties in the front is fucking phenomenal for breastfeeding. And I'm like, I didn't even mean to do that.
Literally everything in your line works for pregnant moms. Like, are you trying to say something? Wait, sorry, I interrupted you. What were you gonna say?
So you know, when you're laying bed at night and you're like, oh my God, remember when I was 24 years old and I like freaked out in front of everyone? And like, how could I have done that?
Oh, yeah.
Recently, I've been like thinking about those moments. And I'm like, I wonder if I'm experiencing moments right now that in five years, I'm gonna be like, wow, I overreacted. And I was like, you know what? No. If anything, there are so many times where I have underreacted, but society has made me think like, don't be dramatic, don't be crazy, like you're being a bitch. When in reality, I should have burnt your house down.
Yeah.
So that was my mental health moment for the week. Like you're not overreacting. If anything, you could be underreacting and you'll think about it in five years.
Literally, I had so many points I wanted to say and I forgot all of them. Cause that was like such an intense way to start the pod when you know I'm asleep. And you're like, let me just start about like judging our entire life and what I should have done. And I literally had good points to make and like my brain was like, no.
I'm actually so sorry for that.
No, wait, actually, can I have a mental health moment?
Sure.
Because.
I shouldn't have watched Traitors. It was, it triggered me.
It did. The reality of it?
Yeah, and I just have to say, I'll make this quick, just like Ron Funches is a fellow comedian. And I watched, there's a scene where like Dorinda says something that's like, not that bad and like kinda mentions his family. And he responds like, "Fuck you, never talk about my family again." And I literally-
What's the problem?
I literally, like, was talking to my friends and I was like, "That was out of nowhere and that was insane." And, and then literally today on Threads, Ron Funches was like, "Do you really think that's the only thing she said to me?" And that's how I reacted. And I'm like, "You fu- Hannah fucking Berner, how dare you do that to someone else?" "How dare you do that to someone else after what you went through?" So, um, just know that there's a lot more things that are said to make people snap than what you see.
You wanna know what? You're kind of like, I don't want people to get triggered by this, you're kind of like an alcoholic.
Where like, you were like, "I've been sober for this certain amount of years, you know what? I actually could probably handle one cocktail at dinner."
That's literally what happened.
You had the cocktail at dinner and you're like, "See, I'm totally fine." You're like, you go back to dinner the next week and you're like, "Maybe I could have two cocktails." You have two cocktails and then you're like, "Hold the fuck on, I'm getting on the bar."
Yeah, now I've been arrested. I'm on TMZ with my shirt off and I'm snorting lines of cocaine.
We now find you in LA waking up at 7:30 AM being like, "You know what? I miscalculated."
I go, "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I've lost my family and my friends."
Hannah is no longer our Traitors correspondent. We hate to see her go. But we respect her at this time.
I mean, the fact that I felt a negative feeling towards the adorable Ron Funches when clearly more stuff was said to make him snap and I just want to apologize to the community.
No. I had so many people in my DMs being like, "Loved your rant about Colton. Loved it even more knowing you haven't seen a single second of this season."
Like, and that's what I'm here to do. I'm here to have opinions on things I don't know about or care about.
People were like, Hannah, like, how can you do two episodes? And I'm like, it's just about having really hard takes about things you don't know that much about. And you just have to fucking commit. Pick a side and go. And Paige and I tend to pick separate sides, and that's 30 minutes. That's 30 minutes right there.
Because, okay, if you get on the phone with your friend at like a random time during the day, it's literally just you two back and forth.
Yeah, you don't call with an outline. And next thing you know, you're two hours in and multiple people's names have been dragged through the mud.
Literally, my, one of my girlfriends called me like last week and she, and I go, I was like, hey, I'm really tired. I actually can't get on the phone. Let's like voice note this. And she goes, totally respect your privacy. I just have to say one thing on the phone. It's gonna be two minutes. Four hours later, I was like, I was early for something. I've now missed it. Like, you've ruined my day.
Let me say something about socializing as two people who have social anxiety. And we're both so respectful of each other's social anxiety. Um, like, I'm literally like, call me when you feel like it. I'm here. I'm waiting by the phone.
But like,
I'm literally like that. I'm like, I won't, I won't call you out of nowhere, because if I do, I know you get startled.
You do always tell me your location. You're like, hey, I'm sitting at this hotel. I'm in my room.
I'm in a peaceful place. There'll be no sudden movements.
But I do have the same.
Now I can't.
Now you know what I'm doing.
Every time we're like, hey, I'm in the Uber. I'm on my way to the hotel. Give me a call if you want.
If you need me, if you feel safe, if you feel secure, if you've done your deep breathing, I'm available for about 15 minutes tops, and then I will have to go and continue my day.
Meanwhile, me calling my mom, blowing up her phone. My mom needs to have a restraining order on me.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. My mom might go no contact with me for what I've put her through the past two weeks because I've called her so many times and been like, "And another thing, back to the morning conversation."
My life is one long phone call with my mom with breaks in between. That's what our life is.
No, it really is. It's a stream of consciousness. Speaking of mother-daughter duos, we didn't, this is the first time we get to talk about that we're interviewing Kate Hudson, Brenda Song, and Mindy Kaling for Netflix. The Kate Hudson-Goldie Hawn relationship, mother-daughter relationship, is one of the best things in my life personally. Kate Hudson just got nominated for an Oscar and Goldie Hawn's...
And she sings in it.
She's amazing. Goldie Hawn's caption of congratulating her daughter was as if she had just graduated the sixth grade and is going into junior high. It felt like she just had Kate. It was like, "My baby. Years ago, I had this baby girl, Kate, and now, look." It was just so sweet and wholesome.
Also, she is an example of a nepo baby that we're like, "Thank God. Thank God she got into acting."
Thank God.
Thank God she gave us How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Still one of the greatest rom-coms that ever did, ever did it.
That ever did live. Another thing that's been on my timeline and like...
Oh, you came, you were like, "Hannah's not prepared."
I came prepared.
Hannah's fully asleep and I have things to say. Another thing that's on my timeline that I literally didn't ask for, but since this is a sports podcast, the Miami football game. Why I'm getting fed this? So I see like one TikTok of like some speech and I'm like, that was like so sweet. That's like the sweetest speech I've ever seen. Then I see another TikTok and it's like-
You stay too long on the speech.
I stay too long on the speech.
Yep.
And then I got the entire lore of the guy on Indiana Fernando Mendoza, who is now my personal-
Wait, this is not to brag, but like mom has been on the road and I haven't been able to consume Miami niche sports content?
I didn't want to consume Miami niche sports either.
Can you tell the group what's going on?
In layman's terms, basically there was like a big football game. Everyone was freaking out about it. And it was Miami, Indiana. Great. Apparently Indiana is horrible. This is the first time in a billion years they've ever been good. Their quarterback is this kid named Fernando Mendoza. Now unbeknownst to me, he's from Miami. His parents are Cuban. He's from Miami. He grew up his whole life wanting to go to Miami.
Oh.
I later find out that the coach of Miami also went to high school with this guy's dad. So you think he's gonna go to Miami, he's gonna be put on the team. He goes, I'll walk on. Miami's like, get out of here. We don't want you.
See, that's fucking crazy because what you guys don't know, walk on is literally saying, can I play for free? I don't need a like a scholarship. Just let me. It's basically like, can I, can we let me sit on the bench? So they basically said no to letting him sit on the bench.
He goes to Indiana. He becomes the quarterback. He wins the Heisman Trophy this year. They go undefeated.
Which is insane because Indiana never has come close.
He goes down to Miami for the last big, whatever championship it is. Not only does he make the game winning touchdown, his parents are in the audience. His mom has MS, so she cannot stand to cheer for him. So the dad doesn't stand either. He sits next to her.
It's fucking 6 a.m. I can't do this right now.
I'm literally on my phone, it's 2 a.m. and I'm crying over Fernando Mentos. I'm like, now I need more.
You know, sports is the only thing that makes me cry. Like, I won't cry about anything except sports.
I'm so, it was the sweetest story. And in a world filled of male loneliness epidemic bullshit,
here comes a guy, whatever generation that even is, I mean, senior in college, I have no idea. Is that still Gen Z? Yeah, I would assume.
He just seems so pure. Like, he's so, just like a no- nice guy. Like, it's just, honestly, all the men should be taking, rather than like watching Red Pill TikToks of guys looksmacking, they should be like looking up to this kid. And it was, and then there was a shot of him like at 11, the strip club in Miami. And I was like, have a great time.
Yeah, that's where we went on my bachelor. That's where Paige got me a table. And that's where Ja Rule came out. Make sure you listen to that episode.
Anyway, I hope to never be back on college football TikTok because that was...
The truth is, is sports is men's reality TV. So it does kind of track that like if you would consume male content, it would be the most dramatic like game.
Yes, give me a story, honey. Give me side characters. Give me lore from high school.
No, literally, it's like a reunion that you were watching was the bowl championship. Also, the fact that you said layman's terms, that's so funny to me because I'm like, first of all, who's a layman? And do you think layman is like, can some people stop using my terms?
Yeah, I always like to think about it. Like, in my head, I picture someone laying down. Like, you can listen to this information while you're fast asleep.
But layman's like, maybe let's not plagiarize and let's come up with our own things and stop using my shit. In terms of socializing, I just remembered one of the things I was gonna say, the rest is dead. It'll never come back to me. So, as someone who's nervous about socializing, I might have said this before, but I feel like... For mental health, it's good for you to be around people to see yourself through their eyes. Cause you know how you're like constantly like in your own head, making up your own stories about like who you are and like what you do? And like, who, what's your story today of how people view you? And then you like hang out with one friend and they say one thing and you're like, oh, okay. Like, I made a real complicated situation.
Have you ever described yourself to someone and then you sat back and been like, I'm nothing like that? Why I said that? Like sometimes I'll hear myself and I'll be like, yeah, I'm like, I love going and doing that. And I'll be like, no, I don't. I literally hate going there and doing that.
Now, when I go into that perspective, it makes me see some positivity. Cause sometimes I'm like, this is just me like forcing myself to like extend energy when I don't need to. Also, I do wanna expose the name of someone I told a story about on my pod. Cause I'm very protective of people and I will not tell people's names. But I ran into them yesterday and I was like, do you know I told a story about you on the pod? And she was dying laughing and she's like, you should've said my name. You should've said my name. Can you tell them it was me? Cause that's hilarious. So the girl who was trying to like party with me.
Who is traumatized to find out, not only were you in your 30s, but you were also betrothed.
Yeah, married. I forgot about that part.
Thought I was 27, which obsessed with her, obsessed with her. Um, it was Tara Yummy, who I did not know who she was. I just like, she started messaging me and then Grace, my Gen Z icon was like, that's Mrs. Tara Yummy that you're talking to. And I was like, oh my God. And Tara came to my show last night. We had so much fun.
She's on like YouTube, like she's like a streamer.
And she's just like that girl and she's just so fun and really friendly.
I feel like I've used like her sounds before.
And she has amazing taste in comedy, clearly, but she's so cute. She comes to the show, she stays afterwards, we're talking and she looks at me and she goes, I was gonna ask you to come out with us, but I know you don't do that. And I said, and that, and now we're gonna be close, babe. Now you get me.
Hey, Nana, um, when's your, when's your ambient start? When do you have to take that?
She said, "Do you need a hot tea?" It's past 8:00 PM. Peppermint? I know you like peppermint.
Can you put my pill in the Jell-O, please?
You know, I'm like, "Tara, do you owe Mark?"
Literally the clock strikes 10 and you're like, "Tara, honey, get my, get my socks."
My knee. Get my socks. Tuck me in. But no, I had the show in L.A. and it actually...
Wait, we're gonna be great grandmas. Like, fuck all that like kid shit and being a mom and all that like, um, like painstaking and just decision making.
I feel like the only difference between grandma and aunt is like grandma, like, well, there's lots of difference, but, but you both can like leave when you want, but also grandma, like, you're the matriarch.
Yeah, like you're in charge of everyone.
Like, I was talking to Nana, who, yeah, she called me and she was like, she was like, "Why am I getting all this love? Like, you love me so much." And I'm like, "Nana, you made everyone."
Right.
Like, it's because you and Papa met at a church when you were 18.
I basically started this family, um, and none of you would be anything without me.
Literally, I'm not to bring this up because I know your grandma has since passed with my grandpa and they're hanging out right now giggling.
I have zero grandparents. You talk about your grandparents every single pod.
You literally sound like Dez when I complain about, I complain about my grandpa and he's like, "You have two grandparents and two parents left. I have nothing."
You know, it actually is so, like, it's so nice you being 34 and you still have a full set of grandparents. That's like unheard of, I feel like.
And see, that's perspective. Instead of me crying every night over my grandpa, I should have the gigglers fight for Nana's rights.
I mean, your grandma got to see you get married. That, I feel like that rarely happens.
My grandma performed at Carnegie Hall. My grandma's lived to be, she's famous. But one thing about, I have to say about my Nana. She does not stop talking about death.
She literally just gets on the phone and she's like, "Okay. Now, I live such a good life. I've lived such a good life and I love you. And I hope I make it to the next time I see you." And I'm like, "Why?"
You're always hoping to make it to the next day. It's so morbid.
"What are you and Paige doing? Cause I need something to look forward to."
No.
And I'm like, "Nana, you're gonna make me cry. It's literally 11 a.m. on a Tuesday." And she's like,
"Oh, I've had so many good life experiences. What did I do to deserve this beautiful life that's gonna end any day now?"
She's like, "Okay, I hope I talk to you again and this isn't the last time. Bye." I'm like, "Nana, why?" I'm like, "I can't, I'm crying in an Uber right now. Like, why do you do this?"
I'm having a great day that's gonna end any, any second.
Oh, and then my Papa apparently got this like, test and the guy was like, "He's perfect. He's gonna live till he's 100." And she goes, "I'm gonna die before Papa. Take care of him."
No, Nana and Papa are gonna literally go on the same day. There's no way they're living a second without each other.
Yeah, no, I know. And that's the ultimate romantic thing. Like, murder-suicide. That's what you have to do.
I was just gonna say, that's the ultimate romantic comedy.
Okay, autumn in New York is the season where we can finally start dressing again. Every single thing is an excuse to put on a look. Going to work? Outfit. Leading a meeting? Outfit. Getting drinks with your friends? Obviously outfit. And as we all know, every great outfit starts from the feet up. That is why I'm currently obsessed with alleys from Sam Edelman. They're a ballet flat, but a little something extra for fall. A contrasting velvet cap toe, I have them in this gorgeous azure blue, which is like a dusty muted blue that somehow goes with everything, even Daphne's eyes. They're so cute and I'm all Already envisioning my next outfit, straight leg jeans, an oversized blazer and a little shoulder bag, very, I just threw this on when we all know I absolutely did not.
And Hannah is loving hers too. She has the Michaela, which is the Sam Edelman's take on a Mary Jane. And this season it comes in the chicest leopard, so gorge, so easy, and exactly the kind of shoe that makes an otherwise basic outfit look like you actually tried. And there's so much more coming from Sam Edelman this fall beyond these two. Like the new Teigan and Tallulah pumps, plus ready to wear handbags, fragrances, and even a new men's collection. So basically, you can make sure both you and your man are looking good for date night, because we're not doing all that getting dressed just to let him show up in a t-shirt.

That's OCD and most of them have no idea. Real OCD is persistent, unwanted intrusive thoughts that feel totally out of character, along with mental or physical behaviors you feel driven to do to get relief. And these thoughts can feel very real, which makes them so upsetting. OCD is highly treatable with the right kind of specialized therapy.
It needs ERP, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, proven to be the most effective treatment.

I have been watching like all of the major movies that, well, I have like a list that have been nominated.
You're basically in the academy.
I'm in the academy.
You are the academy.
I'm SAG, I'm voting, I'm, I'm in there. So I watched Begonia over the weekend and last weekend, and I watched Sinners.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. What are your thoughts?
Emily Stone, former Emma Stone, is such a good actress. And she's so good at, like Begonia was one of like the weirdest.
creepiest, very original, like storytelling. And she's so good at, in her movies, being relatable.
Yes.
But also being the actress that you need in that movie, like the character in that movie. I don't know how she does it. You know how we talk about like, oh, if you're going to see like a Ryan Reynolds movie, you're going to see Ryan Reynolds pretend to be something, but you're watching Ryan Reynolds. Emily Stone is so good at being her. No, I love it. That's like my new thing. I'm like, don't call her the wrong name. She's requested Emily. She's so good at like you knowing it's her, but also fully believing in her character.
You're so right.
And I thought I was gonna hate that movie.
See, I love weird ass movies like that. And it's, but it's funny cuz Emily Stone is in it, you know, she's gonna take care of you. You're like, I know that she's gonna make sure this is gonna be good for us.
I love her friendship with Jennifer Lawrence because whenever I'm gonna watch a Jennifer Lawrence movie, I'm like, even if the movie is shit, I don't care because I wanna watch Jennifer Lawrence do whatever she's doing. I wanna hang out with her for the next hour and a half, so I don't care what the other characters are doing. I'm gonna watch her.
You know what people don't talk about enough? Easy A and Crazy Stupid Love were such fucking good movies that do not get recognized enough in the cultural zeitgeist.
One time I dated a guy and, um.
It's horrible.
Okay, it's literally 7 a.m. Why would you say that?
Crazy Stupid Love, I went through a phase where like that was the movie I would just like turn on at night to be like, like we'll fall asleep to this. And he was like, I think that movie is the worst. I think it's so stupid. It makes me feel like uncomfortable and weird. And like, don't put it on.
Let's unpack that, sir. Let's unpack that. Let's, in layman's terms, let's unpack that.
And I was like, that's such a random movie to absolutely love.
Be triggered by.
Like, it's a romantic comedy. What's his name is in it? Like, how do you hate anything?
Steve Carell is in it.
And what's the hot guy?
Ryan Gosling.
Yeah, I'm like, how do you hate anything with Ryan Gosling?
That's so weird.
You probably wanted to sleep with Ryan Gosling, you know, and that's, that's a cross that's like not mine to bear for a minute. Yeah.
Wait, can I give a Beckham update?
Cause I actually talked to Dez, which we don't talk enough about. Dez is a Scorpio, just like Paige, and he's a psychic, even though he doesn't believe in psychics, but. And I said, Dez, what is going on with the situation? And he's like, I don't know what you're talking about. Tell me what happened. And I'm like, okay, well Paige's like psychic take is that the girl wrote it. And he goes, what did she say? And I gave him the tea of it and he goes, this is what gives it away. No guy would care that much about their wedding. He goes, no guy would write about their wedding that much. And I was like, so you didn't like getting married to me? And he's like, this isn't about us.
Well, I do, I also think, oh my God, look, Victoria Beckham, I'm like team Victoria on this. David Beckham came out and he was on some like, he was like corresponding some type of show in the UK. Some like match or something. And he inadvertently said like, kids have to make mistakes and you kind of let your kids make mistakes on their own. And especially with social media. And then one of her like stylists came out and said that she was like, look, people can come out with different stories and be like, Victoria is awful. No, Nicole is awful.
Which is like not good for girlhood, but continue.
We're again, we're getting distracted. There's more important things happening in the world, but than these two hot girls fighting. But anyway, I continue.
Kind of like the same thing with like Prince Harry, even though the situations are so, I don't think they're that similar. It's just like that they're British.
If a guy wants to leave his family, like he's doing it. Like, I don't know, like that is like a thing within him, like you can't tell him anything.
Wait, that's so funny because daughters don't do that.
Yeah, I feel like daughters, if the roles were reversed, I really think people would be like, hey, is he controlling you? Like no one's really diving into that. I don't know. It's a sad situation all around.
I do have to say Nicola does follow me on TikTok, which means she has like incredible taste, like highbrow taste in comedy. So I have to factor that in. Um, but then also I, Victoria Beckham is my everything.
If I'm at my wedding and Posh Spice wants to dance, I'm gonna let her friggin' dance.
Posh Spice?
She could beat me over the head.
Punch me in the face at my wedding.
With the cutlery at the wedding, and I'd be like, thanks.
People are tagging me and, um, our Fallon of me doing the worm, going Victoria Beckham at Nicole's wedding. But the truth is, this is like family shit.
And I, it feels like dirty. And, but also, let's remember, British press.
Is really intense.
Is insane, like next level. And I know this as a tennis watcher, that
in all the grand slams, Wimbledon is the one where like, there's always chaos, because the press like, goes insane with the players. And it's like unacceptable.
Wait.
Speaking of tennis, is there something going on with two of the tennis, yeah, what's going on with the two?
If you guys want to know, okay, okay. Naomi Osaka.
And Serena Kristaia. Now, Kristaia has been in the game for a long time. She's 35. This is her last year of playing. This is her last Australian Open. She's playing Naomi Osaka, who has, is gonna go down as one of the greatest of all times, had a baby, and is now like, coming back, hasn't folded.
Oh, I didn't know she had a baby.
Yeah, she was basically at the top of her game. Like, everyone's like, she's the next Serena. Had a baby, and now she's like, coming back. She's seeded now. She's doing great. I feel like a full ESPN sports broadcaster right now. This is the thing about women's tennis. It's brutal. Like, it's one-on-one for like, three hours. You're basically fighting a girl. You'd love it. And
you're like, tell me more, what are the strategies?
So?
So, in tennis, there's all these like, little things that make things like rude or not rude. Like, for example, the last one with Taylor Townsend and someone else. Um, Oste Panko got mad because she won a point when the ball hit the top of the net and came over, which is like, lucky. And if you win a point, even if it's not the reason you won the point, but it happened during the point, you should put your hand up to just acknowledge, like, I'm sorry. Which is funny, because baseball.
I love that in women's tennis, it's like, and also be courteous.
You also, you, you have to win, but you also have to say sorry for winning.
Oh my god.
You have to apologize. But meanwhile, baseball, the guy will take a hard baseball rock, hit a guy square in the back. Square in the back, and he won't say sorry.
He'll be like, what's up?
I'm watching what does, I'm like, he didn't put his hand up, and he's like, they just don't do that. And I'm like, you, that was by accident, you can say sorry, he didn't purposely hit the guy.
Not to bring the heated rivalry into it all.
You have to, we all do.
All I see are like hockey clips and them fighting, and then I saw a hockey clip and it was like kids hockey, like maybe the kids were like 11, 12 years old, and they were letting them truly beat the shit out of each other on the ice. And I'm like, hey, um, this is so fucking crazy that this is even an allowed thing in the sport. Like, I don't understand that.
I don't think girls hockey, like, do that, I don't think.
No, because they're normal.
We kill each other with words.
I think because I like, was so passionate about traitors, then I kept getting TikToks of like, professional athletes that have done some of the most horrible things to women and their girlfriends, wives. And it's like, and then they got a $50 million deal to play for the next five years. And it was like, they got, they strangled their girlfriend, they had to sit out two games. They got caught smoking weed, had to sit out four. And so it's like, there's all these little things in these like, super male dominated arenas that like, I feel like we don't even notice because we're like, we're not even in there.
That subconsciously teach them like, no, you can do that, like, just as long as you're good at a sport, we don't give a fuck.
Now, for women's tennis, I do have to say, like, this shit is happening all the time. Like, this isn't like a crazy drama, like, there's other matches where there was drama and like, it's just, Naomi's such a star.
When you win a point, you're allowed to be like, come on. But when you say come on, there's also rules. You can't do it-
Okay, now they know you have to curtail your voice.
You have to curtail. You're not allowed to say come on like at the girl. You have to like say it in the general vicinity. So like if I hit a winner and I look at you and I go come on right at you, that's considered bad sportsmanship. But if I turn to my team or I just say come on in the, in the air, it's okay.
So in hockey, I can pull my helmet off, beat the fuck out of you with-
Well, look, tennis is a gentleman's sport, as they say, but it's funny, I've never said it out loud. And me saying out loud the nuances sound fucking insane, but like growing up-
No, that sounds insane.
You're just like, yeah, these are like the rules. Also, in junior tennis, you call your own lines. So that means like you're basically your own umpire. Do you know how much cheating was happening? Everyone's parents are about to beat, beat the shit out of them out if they lose. You're like, out? It's just, anyway, I have mental illness. So, so what happened is Naomi's pumped up. It's the third set. And Sorana Cristea, she misses her first serve and she's about to hit her second serve. Also, if, if someone misses, it's considered like not great sportsmanship to say come on. Cause it's like they made a mistake. You didn't do anything.
It's one thing if it's a forced error, which means I hit a really good shot, which made you make a mistake. That's okay. But if someone just like double faults, you don't say like, come on. So Sorana missed her first serve and Naomi-
So you have to have cotillion while you're also trying to play a goddamn sport.
Yeah, you're literally competing and also having to like be so British. You have to be British. So, so after the first serve, Naomi is like pumping herself up. She's like, come on, let's go. But I could see how Sorana would be like, are you cheering for my like first serve miss? But look, it's like, it's one of those things where it's like, it's the third set. It's war. You're in a war. She then decides to kind of carry on it and go to the umpire and be like, is she allowed to fucking do that? And the umpire is like, you mean like between serves? And she's like, is she allowed to? And the umpire's like, yeah, she's allowed to because it wasn't a hindrance, because you weren't serving.
She's allowed to speak between serves.
But then it's like, but in theory, it's I guess considered kind of bad sportsmanship to- Say come on after someone misses a serve. However, Naomi also was like pumping herself up. Though it's very nuanced.
This is really funny for me specifically because we have an inside joke in my family that like the only phrase my dad says is come on.
Wait, he loves that. That's his vocal stem. Come on, come on.
Anytime something happens like in our family, if you get a text that says,
Paige, come on.
With a bunch of N's. We know in dad's voice, you're pissed off, but also you don't really care. It's just a small aggravation.

I've always wanted to be more consistent with strength training, but my biggest problem is getting to the gym and thinking, okay, now what? I'll do a few exercises. I remember maybe pull something up I saved on Instagram, but there's really never any planning behind it and you know, I hate a workout class. That's why I've been loving the ladder app.

Gigglers, the holidays are coming and Arm and Hammer Hardball Cat Litter and I are making sure all my fellow cat parents are guest ready. You guys know I'm obsessed with cats. I'm a cat missionary and make sure everyone in my life has a cat and I'm doing really well at it. I foster and I'm constantly trying to help cats find homes and around the holidays, I basically want everyone I know to fall in love with a cat and take one home. But the holidays, you guys are hosting, you have your cat and you have such a to-do list, you know, hiding things in closets, pretending you're clean, pulling out the snacks. One thing I do not need to add to that list is worrying about cat smell. Arm and Hammer Hardball Cat Litter keeps odors under control and forms compact clumps that make cleanup easy, so that part is already handled in the background. So then I can
focus on my guests and maybe convince one of them they need a cat. For all my fellow cat parents, be guest ready with Arm and Hammer Hardball Cat Litter. Find it now at Walmart or Amazon.
Wait, small side note, just to explain my dad in a goddamn nutshell, I had to shoot something over like the past three days and so I like had my parents come to New York. I was like, why don't you come and like come to set with me, like it's gonna be fun, whatever. My dad is like standing in front of me at my apartment and he's like, you know Paige, I just want to say something about the past couple of days. Now I think he's gonna say, so proud of you, so cool to witness what you've done. This was so like, I just, I love you so much. He goes, now the Uber to the place and back home, I didn't like that
guy. But the second day, that guy knew what he was doing. Why didn't you get his card? He could have driven you around. And I'm like, so in the past three days, the only, the only things you've wanted to speak your mind about is the transportation.
I'm obsessed with him. That, that reminds me of my first show at the Palladium in New York City that I sold out and everyone's freaking out and my opener Tracy Carnasso, she drove in from Queens. She gets in and my dad walks in and he says hi to Tracy and he goes, how'd you get here? And she goes, oh, I parked. And he goes, You found a parking spot in Times Square? And she's like, yeah, I got, I fuck, there's this place around the corner, I fucking, he goes, "You found a f-" Hannah, she found a parking spot in Times Square." Literally, I do the whole show, like, best night of my life, get off, we're in the car, my dad goes, "Tracy Carnazza, that girl, she found a fucking parking spot in Times Square."
He talked about this for two weeks. He sees her now, he goes, "Remember when you found that parking spot in Times Square?" That is so da- like, literally walked off the stage and he goes, "Tracy's awesome." Tracy's aw- and also, you know I couldn't drive at that point, so it was very triggering for me. I was like, I feel like this is coming towards me. Um, so anyway, Naomi, Serrana, you can go to the umpire and be like, "Is that girl in trouble? Like, what's going on?" Like, it's really like going, you're like, "Mom, mom, she did it." Yeah, like you tattle. And then the person was like, "This isn't, this is one of these rules that's like, that's between you two, like, that's a..."
Right, it's a nuance.
It's a nuance. So, clear, and Naomi is clearly like, "This girl's mad at me." And it gets fucking heated.
Quick, before we start again, are you mad at me?
It's, it's like, very obvious. So, oh, also, what you love is like, when you play, if I hit a ball and you call it out, and I know you cheated me, I can't get you to change it. All I can do is be like, "Are you sure?" So I basically come to the net and go, "Are you sure?" Basically like, "Are you gonna do this? Cause then I'm gonna cheat you back later." So all girls-
Fucking passive aggressive. That's so British, I feel like.
And then the girl responds and she'll be like, "Yeah." And then you go, "How far was it out?" Cause you know she's cheating. So you go, "How far was it?" And then she'll make like a huge like, two feet, and I'm like, "Okay, cool." This was my childhood. This is-
Oh my god, Hannah, that feels very southern, like, bless your heart, where you're like,
"What'd you just say to me, bitch? Are you sure?" It's basically me going, "I don't believe you."
"Are you sure?" And then you wait and you cheat them when it's the most important point of the set. But I digress, that's just, um,
Okay, cause I was like, seeing TikTok videos and I was just like, I can't fully understand what they're fighting about.
People think Serrana was mad that Naomi said, "Come on." It's, it's, it's cause it was in between her first and second serve, which is like, kind of unheard of, but- In the third set, things get heated and like I've done it.
You just get pumped up and you're just like talking. Also Naomi was talking to herself. That was also the nuance. Naomi was like, come on, like pump yourself up.
And if I had a nickel.
She wasn't like, being like, yeah, you hit the serve wide. Yeah, come on. And also Naomi is known to actually have like really good sportsmanship and be really calm.
Very good etiquette on the court.
Yeah, she's always holds herself really like, like not too many emotions.
I feel like I've seen some of her speeches.
Yeah, she's very like soft spoken. Um, she's not known for like, like yelling that much. Which like a lot, girls love to yell on tennis, but at the end, Serrano loses. Comes up to the net and like an aggressive, the handshake is a whole thing.
Okay, I saw that and then Na- did Naomi say, what was that for?
Yeah, so Naomi is again showing that like Naomi is innocent. Naomi like doesn't even know that she pissed her off and what she did. Okay, when you come to the net, if you don't like the girl, you do literally like a limp, barely touch. That's how you should, because you have to shake their hand after. And if you like them, you give them a hug. And if it's just like a normal match, whatever, you just shake it.
It's in the rulebook that you must shake hands after.
You have to shake hands after, which me saying this out loud, I've never thought of this before. But like, it's like, imagine after fighting with someone, you have to shake their hand regardless of what happens. And you could be like 13 years old, I was crying the whole match and then I have to go shake their hand.
Oh, I mean, I guess it's like when like, I mean, but do they do this in professional?
It's like if you play chess.
No, I was gonna say like after like baseball when they get in a line and they go down, they're like, good game, good game. Do they do that in professional?
Yeah, they do, they do. So like, it's basically like, end a match, shake hand. If you're really mad, you don't shake their hand. But Serrano comes in and like does a whole like, kind of pushes her thing. And Naomi's literally like, what hap- what are you talking about?
I saw the video and she was like, what was that for?
And I guess she kind of figures it out, but then Naomi, then oh fuck. Fucking interviewer comes up to you in that moment when you know you're fucking hot like you
You just got assaulted like you just you realize someone is basically saying
Hates you.
Hates you and she's processing it and Naomi it was like the first time she ever got like a little sassy and she was like I don't know if it was my last Australian Open, I'd be mad too. And it was like she's basically saying like your career's done bitch.
Sorry, I got a text.
I was like, that was the punchline. I was like, that was, the whole story was for that moment.
Well, share it with the class.
Wait, Naomi, Naomi, it was actually from someone at the bank. It was like,
anytime I see the word fraud, I'm like, I'm like, oh no, I literally, I become British. I don't know why.
Oh, it was a fraud alert. Okay, I respect that.
That is crazy.
If it was my last Australian Open, I'd be mad too.
Basically being like, this bitch is done. Like, I'd be mad too if this is how you end. Like, I'm sad for you. And then, yeah, she says, and then she ended it. She's so Gen Z. She was like, bro. And she never says, bro. She was like, bro. She never says, bro. Like, she was like,
She's like, honestly, like chill out.
Talking to her friends. She was like, bro, like, they're always like so robotic because they're just like all, they're all sponsored by like Rolex. Like tennis, like you have to be like,
No, tennis is like so chic.
Gentlemenly and chic. So anyway, eh, but also like, it was actually like a day in the life of a tennis player. Like this shit happens all the time. And people don't really know the nuances. So everyone's like freaking out. But um, basically, so they all, they got heated. And that's what happened. Heated rivalry.
This was a legit sports podcast today.
No, I know. Also, some people will message me and be like, hey, can you discuss this sports stuff? Like, people are getting into it. They really are. Oh.
Because tennis has such, like, I just keep using this word, but it really does have such nuances. Especially because I really feel like tennis is the only sport, even more so than golf where like, People watch the women just as much, if not more than the men. Do you know what I mean? Like, and they're, they're at the same, they're in the same places, they're at the same tournaments. So it is very interesting.
When I was little and I saw Serena Williams, I was like, that's what I want to do. Like, because that was a woman getting like as much or more respect than the men. And I was like, oh shit, I like that power. Ooh, I like that feeling.
I hate to revert back to my reality TV roots, but all I can think of is like, they all must sleep with each other and they all must like get into fights. And they, it must be so, there must be such good gossip in there.
There's also a locker room. So like after they play, they have to go in the locker room together. Yeah, they're not just like walking home. Like they have to go to the locker room, there's a players lounge, there's a gym.
Wait, why did I like immedi-, why did I think it was like everyone has their own green room type situation? Because it's an individual sport.
It's Love Island, everyone's, I mean Wimbledon? There's a Wimbledon, like it's a city where everyone just stays during the tournament. But the funny thing is, the girls, like they don't, they're not friends with each other, really. There is a podcast that I will recommend if you love tennis called The Players Box with my friend, Jessie Pegula.
Very cute name.
Madison Keys, Jennifer Brady and Desiree Krosick. I think I pronounced her last name right, but she's like incredible, they're all incredible. Anyway, um, so watch that. Really, just like some positive news?
Fetty Wap is back.
No, like, and he looks healthy, you know, like.
Wait, he does. He looks strong. He was lifting. Not to, not to talk about a man's body, but he looks good.
Not to sexualize Fetty Wap, but I could not help but think, we're eating good in jail. Like, what were you eating?
It's kinda like Chappelle, how he went from like so skinny to one day, I'm like, he could carry me. He could pick me up.
Like completely body, like body shape.
You wanna know what was so wholesome about Fetty Wap? He like genuinely thought that we like forgot about him, you know? And it's like, no, no, we've just been holding out.
I thought about him every day. I don't even know what he did and I, to be honest, I don't care. Cause he brought so much joy to my life. I can separate the artist from the art.
I actually have no idea what he did.
I think it was like, it was like minor drug related.
If I had a nickel, you know, like what?
Yeah, no one was murdered. Well, I'll look into it later. Um, I put on trap queen yesterday before my show and I was like, that was the most beautiful time. And then this is what it's like to be married to me. Like Dez was like falling asleep last night, like everything was peaceful and he just gets a text from me being like, am I your trap queen? And he's like, what? And I'm like, am I your trap queen? And he's like, lose my number. I can't deal with this right now. I'm literally falling asleep and I'm like, so you hate me? Okay. So you don't even, so if I'm not your trap cream, what am I? What am I to you?
You are, you are like.
Annoying.
You are how I feel when like a, someone Gen Z texts me, the most insane texts and they're being dead serious. And all I wanna text back is, there's no way you're fucking serious or texting me that. I think that's a good way to end this week.
Oh my God, yes. Paige needs to, now that I'm awake, so early.
Now that he is awake, I have to jump on a flight.
You have to go. Um, I love you so, so much.
I'm so excited to see you in person.
I know, I miss you.
I miss you so much.
It's been forever and I'm on like a high from my coffee, but I do have to let you know when I get down from the high, I will be mad at you about this. Um, I love you guys so much. No, this was like a drunken episode. Um, thank you for giggling. We'll talk to you later. Bye.
