  I'm a big believer that sometimes a new workout outfit is all the motivation you need. And luckily, Abercrombie just teamed up with Berry's to bring a Y P B collection made for the red room. I'm talking about Y P B's sculpt lux leggings, shorts, double layered bras, and the new 6 a.m. jacket. Basically, everything you need to go from looking like you're just trying to survive a workout class to looking like you're achieving your personal best. Shop Y P B by Abercrombie in the app, online, and in stores, and bring your personal best to the red room.

  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.

• 0:38Paige DeSorbo?

  Like, so many people have my location.

• 0:40Hannah Berner?

  And you have to share your ETA, you have to check the route, you have to text everyone I'm home.

• 0:44Paige DeSorbo?

  And if your friend like doesn't text you, "Oh, you got home," you're you're calling the FBI.

• 0:49Hannah Berner?

  Yep, yep. And we joke about it because it's so normal to us, but you're constantly paying attention. And 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?

• 1:02Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah, there's truly no clocking out of your safety.

• 1:05Hannah Berner?

  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.

• 1:14Paige DeSorbo?

  And you know, I love alone time, and I truly feel like it's such a luxury in a Waymo.

• 1:18Hannah Berner?

  Especially after being social, like, I love everyone, but like.

• 1:21Paige DeSorbo?

  Please, nobody speak to me.

• 1:22Hannah Berner?

  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 ignored all night, stare out the window. You actually have a minute where you're not thinking about everyone else.

• 1:36Paige DeSorbo?

  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.

• 1:43Hannah Berner?

  And put your guard down for a second and feel safe.

• 1:46Paige DeSorbo?

  Which truly, women deserve.

• 1:48Hannah Berner?

  We deserve to disassociate safely for 20 minutes.

• 1:51Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah, I mean, put that on a T-shirt, for real.

• 1:54Hannah Berner?

  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.

• 2:03Paige DeSorbo?

  And we spend enough of our lives being on.

• 2:06Hannah Berner?

  Exactly.

• 2:06Paige DeSorbo?

  We don't need, we don't need to be on in the car.

• 2:09Hannah Berner?

  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.

• 2:28Paige DeSorbo?

  This episode is sponsored by the new Hershey's Creme Bars in Salted Caramel and Affogato. Lately, I've been realizing that luxury doesn't have to mean some huge splurge. Sometimes it's just taking a few minutes to yourself during a busy day. I have one of these moments, oh, I don't know, every day around 2 o'clock. Whether that's making a pick-me-up coffee, or maybe I just need to scroll for a little bit on the couch. That's why I'm actually so excited about the new Hershey's Salted Caramel and Affogato Creme Bars available now. I absolutely love a treat-yourself moment in the middle of the day, and this is a classic Hershey's Milk Chocolate layered with a salted caramel or affogato creme filling.

• 3:10Paige DeSorbo?

  So, it feels a little elevated while still being your favorite Hershey's chocolate. Pick up the new Hershey's Creme Bars in Salted Caramel or Affogato wherever you shop for snacks and choose happiness with every bite. This bonus episode is brought to you by Arm & Hammer Cat Litter.

• 3:25Hannah Berner?

  We love a little extra bonus.

• 3:27Paige DeSorbo?

  Especially when it's about our cats. I could talk about my cat for two hours, I could do a full TED Talk.

• 3:32Hannah Berner?

  No, literally.

• 3:33Paige DeSorbo?

  She's stunning, she's gorgeous, she's a model, she knows she's pretty.

• 3:36Hannah Berner?

  Do you know how crazy I am about cats? Besides making everyone adopt them around me?

• 3:40Paige DeSorbo?

  No, literally.

• 3:40Hannah Berner?

  I know what kind of cats everyone likes. So, like, when I see a cute cat, I go, wait, but which person would prefer this cat for me to send it to? So, like, I do have a ton of, like, ragdoll cats on my feed because I send you all them. And then I have tuxedo cats for Grace, and then for my mom's cats, I have orange cats. So, I have so many cats in my algorithm of all shapes, sizes, colors.

• 4:01Paige DeSorbo?

  You're inundated with cats.

• 4:03Hannah Berner?

  And I'm curating the perfect cat meme for everyone. It's exhausting, but it's the life I chose.

• 4:08Paige DeSorbo?

  Each one has a unique personality. When you're meeting a dog, it's like, you know they're going to be excited. You can generally suss out what their personality is. Cats are so different, and especially when you have people over. Like, Butter doesn't, Butter's not into it. She's not socializing, she's not small-talking with you.

• 4:28Hannah Berner?

  Particularly, if a man comes in her direction, she doesn't want to hear, see, she's hissing. A woman, she'll give a chance.

• 4:35Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah.

• 4:36Hannah Berner?

  There were teenage boys, she was like, "I'm calling the police." There's so many nuances of funny things cats do. Like, does your cat ever use the litter and then just decide to sprint around?

• 4:46Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah, like, gets the zoomies.

• 4:47Hannah Berner?

  Why do they do that after?

• 4:48Paige DeSorbo?

  I think because they're like, "Oh, I'm so sneaky."

• 4:52Paige DeSorbo?

  I like to think that Daphne's like, "Hit my goal weight after that one."

• 4:55Hannah Berner?

  "I'm not weighed down anymore, let's go, ugh."

• 4:58Paige DeSorbo?

  "Let's party, let's get out of here." And then they're like, "Whew, that was a good run." You know another thing people don't talk about in terms of like cats and dogs? You get a dog, you get a puppy, you're training that puppy. "Hey, this is grass, this is outside, this is where we go." You get a cat, and you're like, "Hey, there's the litter box," and they're like, "Cool, thanks for the heads up."

• 5:15Hannah Berner?

  Thanks, you don't have to talk about it anymore, that's what I do.

• 5:18Paige DeSorbo?

  And that's all you talk about it with them.

• 5:20Hannah Berner?

  That's so much smarter, like, than a child.

• 5:25Hannah Berner?

  You know how long you have to probably train your cat? Your cat is like, perfect.

• 5:29Paige DeSorbo?

  I looked up one time, like, what is Daphne? Not Daphne specifically, but like, what is, what are ragdoll's, like, brain capacity? And someone was like, 3 years old. And I was like, "Yeah, I have a 3-year-old daughter who loves getting brushed."

• 5:43Hannah Berner?

  I do have to say, I've gotten people so close to the point of adopting cats to then they go, "But, I have a really small apartment, I can't have it smelly."

• 5:51Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah, I was one of those people.

• 5:53Hannah Berner?

  You were, because you love cleanliness, you're Italian.

• 5:56Paige DeSorbo?

  I'm not having an odor in my apartment, I'm not having like a litter box.

• 5:59Hannah Berner?

  Arm & Hammer Cat Litter's job is to make sure that after the cat goes to the bathroom, the apartment does not smell. Cats actually can be a huge part of hosting.

• 6:09Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah.

• 6:09Hannah Berner?

  Whether your cat likes to be around guests, like Daphne, who likes to sit atop the stairs and watch everyone below her, because she's like, "Look at all these ugly people."

• 6:19Paige DeSorbo?

  She literally does act like it's 1456, and she lives in England, and she's the queen, and she's like, "Huh, I don't remember inviting them over."

• 6:27Hannah Berner?

  But your apartment smells so good, like, you would never know.

• 6:32Paige DeSorbo?

  The odor is nice.

• 6:33Hannah Berner?

  That a cat lives there.

• 6:34Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah. Okay, so we asked some gigglers to send in stories about crazy things that their cat has done whilst hosting while people are around, so we're going to listen to some of them.

• 6:44Hannah Berner?

  And make some comments.

• 6:45Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah, and hear what other crazy cats are doing.

• 6:48Speaker 02

  Hi Paige, hi Hannah. So, my kitty's name is Margarita. Girl is a giggler, she loves a couch roll, loves watching TV, and always puts her little mittens on the TV when a yarn bob makes a special guest appearance. So, it's July 5th, and I'm hosting a watch party for the Mexico versus England World Cup game. Since this is a sports podcast. I'm Mexican, my family's Mexican, so my parents and friends are over. I have a chilecule bar, a margarita bar, super cute. The guests arrive, Marge is on her perch the whole game, but then we're 70 minutes in. My friend plays her margarita by the TV. Marge comes out into the living room and sees a soccer ball on the screen. So, she hops onto the console and tries to put her little mittens on the ball. She knocks down the margarita, it spills all over the floor, and then splashes on her. At this point, Marge is freaking out.

• 7:31Speaker 02

  She runs behind the console, and naturally, she's unplugging the TV, and the game turns off, and Mexico lost that day. Anyways, this was my fault for hosting a sports event. Bye, love you girls.

• 7:43Paige DeSorbo?

  She did everything but call the police to get everyone out of her home.

• 7:46Hannah Berner?

  Can a girl have a crash out? It's literally like, you know, when you're having a bad day, and then like you trip, and you stub your toe, and then like, you get fired? Like, that's what happens to that cat.

• 7:56Paige DeSorbo?

  Like, your jacket gets caught on like the doorknob, and you're like, "Oh."

• 8:00Hannah Berner?

  The building burns down.

• 8:03Paige DeSorbo?

  I thought she was going to say that the cat went over, drank a margarita, and got drunk. I don't know why that's where my brain was going.

• 8:10Hannah Berner?

  Actually, I was like, because her name's Margarita, she should be able to have a little margarita, at least a sip. But we're, we're responsible moms.

• 8:16Paige DeSorbo?

  The cat's name was Margarita?

• 8:17Hannah Berner?

  Yeah, I think the cat's name is Margarita.

• 8:19Paige DeSorbo?

  Oh, wow.

• 8:19Hannah Berner?

  Well, she was calling her Mar, which is really cute. But then you know that at the end, she was like, "Margarita," she did her full name.

• 8:25Paige DeSorbo?

  I need to train Daphne to like turn the TV off when we're going to bed.

• 8:31Hannah Berner?

  But can her little paws get the right button? Because they're kind of.

• 8:34Paige DeSorbo?

  I don't know, Margarita can unplug.

• 8:38Hannah Berner?

  I also feel like when you're a cat, and there's.

• 8:40Paige DeSorbo?

  They can open doors.

• 8:42Hannah Berner?

  True, if there's a TV with a ball going around, I'm like, "That's my game." So, like, I feel like it wasn't properly explained to her that she wasn't playing soccer, and that's just, that's on the host. But also, you knew afterwards that the host was like, "Margarita, I still, like, you're perfect."

• 8:59Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah, of course.

• 9:00Hannah Berner?

  But like.

• 9:01Paige DeSorbo?

  Sorry, she wanted a sip of her namesake.

• 9:03Hannah Berner?

  Sorry, she had an amazing story.

• 9:06Paige DeSorbo?

  She was like, "This drink is named after me? It's mine."

• 9:09Hannah Berner?

  Also, it sounds like a really fun party, like, invite us next time.

• 9:13Paige DeSorbo?

  And there's just so many things when you're hosting that are out of your control, like your cat turning off the TV, dumping a drink on your friend's hand. But one thing you don't have to worry about is Arm & Hammer Cat Litter and any odor while you're hosting, because they're dealing with it.

• 9:27Speaker 03

  Hi, my name's Claire, my cat's name is Snow. And I also foster cats, and at the time of this story, I had four foster cats in my house, plus my cat. My cat does not like other cats, and she was very unhappy about this. I was also newly dating someone, and I had them over for dinner, and they stayed over. And then I woke up at 6:00 in the morning to a weird sound. I'm trying to figure out what it is without getting up and waking up this man in my bed. Finally, I go downstairs, and I see that my cat has taken a huge dump on the living room floor.

• 10:06Speaker 03

  And I start cleaning it up, I think I'm being really quiet, you know, of course, my cat's perfect, she would never. And the guy who had stayed over comes down the stairs while I'm holding a paper towel full of cat shit at 6 a.m. And, yeah, he's my boyfriend now.

• 10:26Paige DeSorbo?

  Wait, that is a modern day love story. You know that Daphne has actually pooped and peed on multiple people?

• 10:34Hannah Berner?

  Yeah, cuz she hates when she's gone and you weren't telling her where you were going.

• 10:38Paige DeSorbo?

  One time I had my brother was spending the night at my apartment and-

• 10:42Hannah Berner?

  She was not sure about.

• 10:43Paige DeSorbo?

  She was not sure about him. She's still not sure about him. And he accidentally shut the door in the living room, locked her in, and so she went and pooped literally right next to his head on the couch. And my brother didn't know what it was because he had never smelled her poop before because usually it's in the litter box.

• 11:02Hannah Berner?

  We have very similar cats cuz Butter's the same way, to the point that like when I would bring a guy over, I wouldn't even give him the whole spiel that I have a cat cuz they're not gonna see her, right? So it was like, one guy I remember stayed at my house for like a long time, like all day.

• 11:17Paige DeSorbo?

  He's like, who's a cat?

• 11:18Hannah Berner?

  He didn't have a job and he was, we were just hanging out and he had nowhere to go, nor to be. Probably not my house now that I'm thinking about it. And we were lying there and like hours went by and when it gets really quiet, sometimes Butter, out of nowhere, she runs across the bed, across both of us.

• 11:35Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah.

• 11:35Hannah Berner?

  He squealed. It seemed like it was a huge rat.

• 11:39Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah.

• 11:40Hannah Berner?

  Cuz this is New York City and I was like, oh yeah, it's my cat.

• 11:43Paige DeSorbo?

  Oh my god.

• 11:44Hannah Berner?

  She sprinted over us.

• 11:46Paige DeSorbo?

  Wait, that would scare the shit out of me.

• 11:47Hannah Berner?

  He shot himself.

• 11:48Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah.

• 11:49Hannah Berner?

  And also shout out to all the foster cats too out there. If you foster, you don't just save one life, you save many. 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.

• 12:31Hannah Berner?

  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. One thing about me, I love a protein bar. I'm not going out into the world without my emergency protein bar. It saved me in so many situations, I can't even tell you. But when I'm eating a protein bar, it can't taste like I'm being punished, you know, for trying to eat healthy.

• 13:05Paige DeSorbo?

  That's why I'm obsessed with Stars and Honey. They basically looked at protein bars and said, hmm, why are we choosing between something that supports our goals and something we actually want to eat? Each bar has 15 grams of protein and only four grams of sugar, but the flavors are giving dessert, honey. Iced lemon cookie, mint chocolate chip, red velvet peanut butter mousse? Hello? Who even knew peanut butter could be a mousse?

• 13:29Hannah Berner?

  Because the best habits are the ones you can actually stick to. Inconsistency is a lot easier when your better for you snack is actually something you crave. Their standard is literally, would you still wanna eat it if it weren't a protein bar? And that's the energy I need.

• 13:44Paige DeSorbo?

  Stars and Honey Protein Bars are now available at starsandhoney.com or Target stores nationwide. Order online or grab a box on your next Target run.

• 16:28Speaker 04

  One time I got home from a weekend trip with my husband and then had to go back to the airport to pick up my in-laws who were staying with us for the week. We just walked in the apartment, had enough time to unpack our own stuff, clean the litter box, and feed the cats, then we left for the airport. After we picked up my in-laws, we walked back into the apartment. I showed them into the guest room to find that our cat, Mingo, fully took a shit on the guest bed. Mortifying. I think he was mad because he thought we were leaving him again. We laugh about it now, but I was so embarrassed and horrified.

• 16:58Paige DeSorbo?

  One time, two of my girlfriends came to stay with me and Daphne woke up in the morning and like obviously wanted them to leave. So she went onto the bed, she looked at both of them and they were like, oh my god, she's so cute. And she was just peeing and they didn't know it until they felt something warm. And she's a silent assassin.

• 17:14Hannah Berner?

  Has she gotten better with this though? Like I feel like as a kitten, she was a little more-

• 17:18Paige DeSorbo?

  She's better now.

• 17:19Hannah Berner?

  Wild with her bladder.

• 17:20Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah, now she's like, okay, I guess you can stay. She hasn't had an accident when I'm like leaving in a couple weeks.

• 17:33Paige DeSorbo?

  Months.

• 17:34Hannah Berner?

  Couple minutes. There is something though about cat litter where I think they love, like it's a familiar smell. So when you bring them somewhere new and you put down the cat litter, they're like, ooh, I'm home. Which is kinda like me when I go to a restaurant and I'm nervous, I have social anxiety, but then I go to the bathroom and I sit there and I go, ooh, I'm at peace.

• 17:52Paige DeSorbo?

  No, anytime I go somewhere and I have to bring Daphne and I have obviously her emergency bag, wherever we get to our destination, I show her, this is where your litter box is and this is where your food and water is.

• 18:05Hannah Berner?

  And that's all you really need in life.

• 18:07Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah, and I feel like she understands like, okay, cool, thank you.

• 18:09Hannah Berner?

  Where do I eat? Where do I shit? And let's take on life together, yeah. So when you have like friends visiting, what do you do to prepare?

• 18:17Paige DeSorbo?

  Well, I did everything for my girlfriends before they got there, like let them sleep in my bed, like did new sheets, had like cute things on their night side table. And so like I tried to plan everything very adorable. And Daphne just came in and was like, no, I don't think so.

• 18:34Hannah Berner?

  See, when I have guests, they're coming into Butter's house.

• 18:36Paige DeSorbo?

  Yeah.

• 18:37Hannah Berner?

  I'm not changing my house for the guests. I said, the reason this little like spiral toy is right there is cuz that's where she likes to play. I also just bought this huge plaything made of like recycled materials and it looks like, it looks like a cave. And it's huge. And I just put it in the middle of the living room and I have a full family visiting next week, but they're gonna have to walk around it. Cuz these cats are loving it.

• 19:01Paige DeSorbo?

  I count on Arm and Hammer Cat Litter when I'm getting the house ready.

• 19:04Hannah Berner?

  Arm and Hammer Cat Litter is the one thing I don't have to think twice about.

• 19:07Speaker 05

  Okay, so we lovingly call our cat Pino the Mino because she is, well, she's a little bit of a psychopath, but our faux pas is we had our buddy living with us for a summer. This is a 33-year-old grown man and he lived upstairs where the guest bedroom was. And one night at like 11:30 PM, we get a call from him and we're like, well, what the heck? Like you are inside the, like, why are you calling us right now?

• 19:49Speaker 05

  So this man is calling us because Pino, the Mino, is standing at the top of the stairs and basically guarding the stairs and will not let this man walk past her. So a grown ass, thirty-three-year-old man is terrified of our cat and cannot walk past and has to call for reinforcements for us to protect him and let him get to his own bedroom. So, yes, we were hosting because he was living with us. She didn't do anything yucky, but, you know, I guess, I guess she just, she had some good judgment here. She said, no men allowed. It's fine.

• 20:29Paige DeSorbo?

  She's a woman with conviction.

• 20:30Hannah Berner?

  She could have done anything in that house and she goes, you know what I'm gonna do? Defend the land.

• 20:35Paige DeSorbo?

  She's like, this is my house and I must defend it. Wait, I just like want, I wish like, okay, can we come up with AI that's actually useful? Like, what are our cats thinking in their brains? Like, what was she thinking when she was standing at the top of the stairs? Like, can I get past me, bud? Like, was she like putting her claws out?

• 20:54Hannah Berner?

  I was like, if you're a grown man, what could the cat, what, bite your ankle?

• 20:59Paige DeSorbo?

  I was just gonna say, also, like, the worst a cat can do is like, scratch your leg.

• 21:04Hannah Berner?

  Well, cats have bad PR because there's like, in cartoons or movies, cats always like, scratch your face off. Like, you know, like, when they jump on your, like, no cats ever jumped on my face and latched on and not come off.

• 21:18Paige DeSorbo?

  Kitty actually scratched me for the first time last week.

• 21:21Hannah Berner?

  Yeah.

  I was laying in bed, sleeping. I'm on my side, and she was, and I'm on my side, I'm not facing her, my back is toward her. She's laying like, right here by my head. I think she was falling off the bed because she put her paw up. I'm not kidding, she gripped my ear to like, hold on, wakes me up.

• 21:44Hannah Berner?

  She was Titanic-ing it. She was going down with the ship.

• 21:47Paige DeSorbo?

  I think she like, rolled over too hard and was like, oh, oh no.

• 21:51Hannah Berner?

  And also, Pino the Mino, like, you have to be an it girl to have like, lore, that you have that kind of nickname that's being talked about on Giggly Squad. Like, she's that girl.

  Hannah the Banana?

  Hannah the Banana, you're not it.

• 22:07Paige DeSorbo?

  You're not doing it right.

• 22:09Hannah Berner?

  Yeah.

• 22:09Paige DeSorbo?

  Okay, I love all of these stories because I truly feel like we're connected because we're all cat moms. And it's a very special bond.

• 22:17Hannah Berner?

  Yeah. And if you don't have a cat right now, you should adopt one.

• 22:19Paige DeSorbo?

  No, you should literally look into it.

• 22:21Hannah Berner?

  But, look, having a pet is always chaotic, but because we love them so much, it makes the chaos worth it. It's like what moms say about kids.

• 22:30Paige DeSorbo?

  It's worth it.

• 22:31Hannah Berner?

  It's worth it, even though it's really, can be hard sometimes. Arm and Hammer Cat Litter gives me peace of mind when hosting, and it just keeps everything fresh.

  Everyone knows those red Target bags, but what's inside? That's a different story for everybody. Maybe it's something new you didn't know you needed, something that makes life a little easier, or turns an ordinary Tuesday into something to look forward to. Because a Target bag isn't just full of things. It's full of what you need, what you love, and even what you'll love next. This fall, all that's new and uniquely you, it's in the bag, only at Target.

  This episode is brought to you by Rothies. I'm currently obsessed with my Rothies clogs. I've been seeing them everywhere lately, friends, celebs, airports. I got a pair a couple of years ago, and honestly, I wear them in every airport all the time. They're luxe, stylish, and so comfortable. They've sold out more than ten times, and once you slip them on, you'll get it. They're unbelievably soft, they go with everything, they're machine washable, and they somehow make wearing sweats look intentional. They really are that good. Snag a pair at rothies.com. You'll never take them off. That's rothies.com.
