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. 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?
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 ignored 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.
Okay, remember when I told you how excited I was about Lululemon dropping their fall collection on September 8th? 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's 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?
Sup, gigglers?
Gary, fix the Wi-Fi.
Manifest that shit.
We can't be managed.
I mean, the day just got away from me.
Can I just say?
What happened to hello? How are you?
How are you? My Galileo gigglers.
Thank you. Now proceed.
I just want to give a shout out to last pod. We started off with a news alert.
Yeah.
What was crazy is we had finished recording. We put our podcast equipment down and the video was just playing.
And we were just chatting.
We were just chatting and I told Grace, like, can you just cut that into a clip? And you know, it's crazy. You couldn't tell if we were podcasting or not. Cause like, we're the same. Like, I had something to be said about like, our friendship.
Can I tell you what I'm actually most pissed about in that, like, situation? The engagement Us Weekly got from the gigglers? I can't wait for the follow up about my UTIs.
They're gonna be in a staff meeting and be like, number one article this week, Paige Sorbo's UTI.
My comment got 17,000 likes. Even when I say something funny, I can't get that many likes. And do you want to know what's pissing me off the most about it? Was I was waiting until this episode to bring up that I went past my four month mark and have not gotten a UTI. But I don't want them writing a follow up.
I think it deserves a follow up because people are hanging on the edge of their seats right now about your UTIs. And if you're gonna live or die. Um, also Us Weekly, um, we have to next time tell the gigglers not to comment on their stuff. Cause it, it's like.
Not only boost them.
You can't reward bad behavior.
No, you can't. I'm like, guys.
Can anyone, like, sleuthers see if Paige actually? This is the problem. I can't tell if you're right or not because you've lied since and told me you have a UTI about certain times. You literally this week lied to someone about a migraine.
Okay, I felt one coming on. I, how did you know about that?
I know everything. I have eyes everywhere. I have eyes everywhere.
That actually wasn't a lie. I got off my flight and I was like, my head hurts.
There was a chance of migraine.
Who told you that? That little rat.
When anything happens to you.
I know who told you. I know.
When anything happens to you, they assume I either know I'm in on it or should know. So anyway, you're not alone in this life.
Oh, my God. Can't a girl just get a migraine once in a while, you know?
Also, I have to set the stage for the giggle. Set the scene. It's 10:00 PM. I'm in my Daphne, no pants, ready to go to bed. Did get a spray tan, so I'm feeling myself, but Paige is in full glam, had a full day in Hollywood, doing Hollywood things.
I'm in my full Daphne. I got a spray tan yesterday.
Yours is a little darker than mine.
Okay, so I went a little dark because I was like, it has to last till Sunday. I'm obsessed with this woman. She was, she was an artist. She wasn't a spray tan person. She was an artist.
And as a spray tan artist, it takes one to know one.
It takes one to know one.
Game recognizes game.
She said to me at the end, like, look, a lot of girls don't like to like sit in it anymore because they're used to like the quick, quick ones. And I'm like, I love marinating. And she was like, eight to 10 hours. And I said, honey, I love laying in bed for eight to 10 hours. I got you.
So what made her, what differentiated her?
Mixing up her own stuff, okay?
A potion, a potion.
Not just throwing a bottle in there, mixing up her own stuff. And then her technique was, it was a ballet. It was truly, it was a woman in art.
You love a soft touch. You love a soft touch.
I love a soft touch. Um, she was like, also, I feel no pain when it comes to beauty. Like, she's like, it's really cold. And I'm like, literally, do whatever you need to do.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Well, I had my America is an Except Model Week where... I got it, okay. You know what's crazy is like, this is a normal week for me. This is, yeah, this is your like, days off. Yeah, this is my hobby. Paige, this is so me. So I'm walking, trying to get, trying to find this facial place. And as you know, I just Googled, and I liked the photo of someplace, and these gigglers stopped me. They said, Hannah, what are you doing? Cause I was just lost on a corner. Um, normally when people see me, I'm doing something weird. I was literally like, turning around lost. And they're like, what are you looking for? And I'm like, I'm trying to find this place. And they were like, oh, are you going to this facialist? And I'm like, never heard of them before. And they're like, we're the best. You should have. And I'm like, well, you should have told me before I booked this. Yeah.
So I get to the place, it's locked. Also, it was like, in the back of a back alley. No one's there. She ends up texting me, and like, arrives to open the place. And I'm like, okay, this is, okay. Get the worm, okay. This was, this was 5pm, but um, Okay. I got dermaplaned. She did cut me a little. Okay. By the nose, but I just presumed that's a risk that you take whenever you get dermaplaned. Maybe. Then, I go to get my nails done. When I tell you it was like an SNL sketch, she looks at me and she goes, "You have a lot of skin."
I thought I've hit every insecurity a person could have. She's, I'm like, what does that mean? I have a lot of skin. Wait, what does that mean? I feel like she was taking out the cuticles, and I guess it was like, taking forever. Okay. I don't know what the, I didn't have a follow up. I said, sorry, as you do. Cause what do you say? I said, I am so sorry, miss. You're like, I got it from my dad. I don't know. And then, you know, I hate, like, getting stuff done. So she was like, "Do you want a pedicure?" And you know that I need a pedicure, but you know that I don't want to sit for a pedicure. So I was like, oh, no, thank you. I don't have time. But she was, you could tell she wanted me to do more things. So then she started being like, "Chin wax?" I was like, okay, ma'am.
She's an eyebrow wax.
But you wanna know what? I want, I want who's ever performing something on me to have no boundaries.
Yes, like she was literally looking me up and down, being like, "You can't leave here. We have work to do." And I kept saying, "Thank you, but no thank you," noted, noted. Um, but then I got derma-plained and she got my beard off. And then I got a spray tan and I leave tomorrow morning for Toronto and we pray.
Yeah, I was just gonna say, we're saying our prayers.
What I was gonna say, I feel a lot less stressed because the first Netflix special was The Unknown. I didn't know what I signed up for. I was scared. Now, I've been in Hollywood, baby. I've been in this business.
We're both taking beta blockers this weekend, multiple ones.
Yeah, you can't help but the adrenaline to start pumping.
Right.
I'm excited. Anyway, how's LA?
You know, LA is LA. I did something real, I hate that I'm even gonna say this. I did something really cool today, but I like can't say what it was and I can say in like a couple of weeks.
I hate when people say that.
But let me just put like a top line on it. It was my dream. You wanna know what? Where I went, my phone was taped, so like I couldn't take any pictures or anything. And I looked at everyone with me and I was like, "Guys, have we ever been more in the moment than we are right now?" Like it actually was so nice because none of us had our phones. And so we were all just like looking at each other like, "This is crazy. Like I can't believe we're doing this."
It was like a field trip in third grade.
Yeah, it was a literal field trip and like Miss Frizzle was there. Like it was so much fun.
Speaking of third grade, I was getting DMs saying that people were making fun of you because you said, "Remember when we learned the alphabet in third grade?"
I know. They were like, "Oh, it middle school pa-" Guys, you know what the fuck I meant, okay? Get the hell out of my DMs with that bullshit. I'm worked up to, I'm worked up tonight.
Ooh, yes, go off.
Okay, last time we recorded, when we were talking about like the hockey thing, I like hadn't really seen the full video. Like I like saw like a clip of it. Like I knew what was going on, but I didn't like really, really know until you were like, and you describe all our sports to us.
I'm on the ground.
Now, the aftermath of the men making, first of all, no men should be making videos. Videos are for girls. TikTok is for girls. The men making videos being like, you guys are overreacting.
You know what it also is? It's literally just, I had to be like, the patriarchy, but it's a bunch of men being like, girls have cooties, let's not invite the girls. And then all the men just hanging out together, being like sucking each other's dicks, like, it's, they're so scared of women being good at something.
It's also so funny that they're so dumb to not even understand the nuance of it. Like, their rebuttal being like, but the men like publicly were so, like they went to the girls' games and they were so supportive. And we're like, right, that's the fucking point that we're trying to make. Publicly, you thought that like that was okay, but behind closed doors. So all your public shit negated it. Like, we only care about gay hockey players, which I'm sure half of you are. Like, that's why you're so mad at us.
Yeah. And then I don't know if you saw clips of like,
Wait, and never did I think that Flava Flav was going to be one of the number one feminists in the year 2026. I mean, what is happening? What is literally happening?
Do you know Eileen Gu, the skier?
I don't.
She's like a supermodel. She's like a super, you'd love her. She looks like a supermodel.
22 years old and is like so fucking smart.
And elegant and they're talking, she's talking about neuroplasticity and the guys are like, let us make bad jokes. Also, look, I'm the first one who loves a joke. Not a good joke. It's like, we're not in elementary school. Like, let's not invite the girls. Like, good one.
It's also like, guys, it took you 40 years. You're losers. Like, I was talking to a guy about this and he was like, well, I don't know if you understand that like, it's like a big game because it's forty years. I'm like, do I understand that they've sucked for forty years? No, I get that.
Also, as we're seeing in a lot of these sports, I always say like, I'm not saying men and women are the same. They're different. And that's okay, and they should, but they should be treated with equal respect. And different sometimes means that people enjoy watching women's sports more. For example, some people love watching women's tennis more than men's tennis because, because it's more complicated in terms of strategy because their serves aren't as big. So it's not just holding serve. With girls tennis, crazier stuff happens. It's more entertaining. There's longer points. And like women's golf, people like to see, there's just like so many different things and women's basketball also, there's reasons people like it more.
And as we're getting more visibility, the men better watch out. They better watch out.
Don't you have a fucking mom? Call your mom and say this.
But this is the thing, I'm so sick of these men being like, I didn't know, and then I had a daughter. You shouldn't have to have a fucking daughter. Ooh, girl.
That is so annoying.
And also, I personally like a lot of these athlete men, not good people and have hurt a lot of women. And I'm not match generalizing, but raise your hand if you've been personally victimized.
Also, not to like, take this to a serious note, but like, the whole like, not all men. I don't have a single friend, I do not have one single female friend, who has not been in a situation where a man either inappropriately touched her, did something to her.
I'm getting a spray tan and the woman's telling me how she had to leave her last job because the guy was hitting on her and she didn't hit on him back and she couldn't tell his boss because the boss was creepier than him. And it's so crazy you said that because, yes, some guy, there was a podcast going around and the guy was like, yeah, like, I got, I got brokenhearted, like, what's the worst thing that happened to you? And the girl was like, I was assaulted. And the girl next door goes, so was I.
One time I was in college and I like, went to this job interview for like, an internship and the boss of like, I was at a news station, like, this was like a local fucking news station. And the head of the, like, The head of the news I had to meet with, the director, whatever, I don't even know what his goddamn title was. He made me so uncomfortable that I, I walked out, was in the parking lot, started crying, called my mom, immediately drove to school, went into my, like professor's office who like sets up all the interviews, told, thank god it was a woman, told her what happened.
She immediately got up on the phone, called him and was like, "Our school will never participate in any of your internships moving forward." Like, "You're done." Cause I was like, "I don't want any girl ever going and working there." And then, while I'm in the interview, mind you, I'm like 19 years old. When I'm in the interview, one of the male news anchors, Facebook messages me, "I really hope you work here." I was like, "Yo, what the fuck goes on at this news station?" It was, and this was in my hometown, like I was so uncomfortable, I ended up going and working at a different news station.
But that's a great example of like, an environment that they're creating, that it's okay for men to act like that.
And that's literally what we're watching on TV, a bunch of men just being like, "Who gives a fuck if the women feel disrespected? Who gives a fuck if they're the butt of the joke? We don't give a fuck."
And that was my first time ever having that happen with a man in the workplace.
Then I went to New York City and the guy threw his keys on me, but I digress, you know, that was like...
Honestly, we're not even gonna get, we'll get to our super traumatic stories another day, we're trying to... It's Friday, baby! But I will say...
No, I actually will say, this made me really, really be so excited to raise a son. Like, beyond excited, cause I'm like, "Ugh, this generation, like us being moms and having sons, that's it, we're done." Like, it's over. There's no more of like, "You're bullshit, like, girls aren't as good." Like, it's really, what it is, is the men see us as like, second-class citizens. Like, they do not see us as equal, none of them, they don't.
Anyway, so, one more thing about the men. Who the fuck told you guys that you're good-looking enough to have a goddamn mullet? Enough. Enough.
Well, they're overcompensating. The mullet guys are overcompensating.
You look like imbeciles. You literally look like rats.
The mullet guys are just trying to distract from something. Either a bad personality, um, bad things they're doing that they don't want you to see. They're like, "Look, I'm silly. I have a mullet." While they're like, literally being the worst person in the world. Um...
It's just like, it's also just like disgusting. Like, you look stupid.
But again, that's for other men. They get mullets for other men, which you know what is?
It's like a weird peacocking, like, symbol.
Wait, men love, like, impressing other men, and it's so frickin' weird.
But I do have to say, I thought that this generation of Gen Z boys was gonna be amazing, cuz the millennials, we had such a strong... Well, it's backfired cuz they think the women are like, trying to take their jobs, where it's like, "No one's trying to take your job. You gotta go to college first to get a job." You gotta talk to people to get a job.
The men are dropping out of college at an egregious rate. It's insane.
Cuz they just want it handed to them. The girls, we've just been taught to like, work hard if we wanna make our dreams come true. So anyway, I digress. Um, speaking of men, though...
I'm like a really, like, I'm in a really man-eating mood right now.
Speaking of men, I was in St. Louis. When I tell you, there's two men who are so handsome in the second row of my show, like, you can, they're sitting, I can tell they're 6'3".
You can tell a strong torso.
I can tell that these women stand up and it's gonna be like, "Za!"
You can spot a torso from a mile away.
And these men, their shoulders jacked and their chiseled jawlines. And this is Missouri, so they're just wearing, you know, normal Midwest clothes.
And I'm so fucking full of myself. I'm like, okay, the two hottest men in Missouri were like, we have to go see the Hannah Berner show. And I would have called them out in the beginning, but they're so hot. I was like, didn't want to get them angry. I got nervous. I did. I did. At one point, I was like, they keep staring at me. This is crazy. They're obsessed with me.
They're obsessed.
Like, the whole show staring at me. And then, towards the end, I finally am like, look, I have to say it. Everyone feels weird. Why are you two sitting next to each other? Because you know, we don't like when two men sit next to each other at the show. They form alliances. It makes people uncomfortable. And I go, and they just are looking at me stern, handsome, gorgeous. And I go, you two better be fucking each other.
Were they?
And they both are like, we are.
Thank God.
They look like the two football players in a rom com that are just like the stars of the football team sitting next to each other. Googly eye over me. And I said, thank you for coming to my show. Um, how'd you guys meet? And they were like, at the gym. And I was like, I know your bodies are gorgeous. I can tell under your shirts. And they, I said, how did you like approach each other in the locker room? And they were like, I gave him a look. And I realize, straight girls are not aware of the gay look that is rampant. Rampant. So you can see when they, the look happens?
I, I feel like, no, Hannah, this is not even just in my imagination. I feel like I've watched straight guys do it. Where I'm like-
To other gay men.
Because there's a look they give, which is big, like, straight girls, you don't, we don't have it in our repertoire. Like, will I fuck? But like, there's a whole different gay male gaze that they communicate with each other on a different wavelength.
Because I think that, I think that they do it quicker than like, a straight girl and a straight guy, like, eye fucking. Because-
Well, they had to.
There's so many men that ha- yeah, that have to be like DL, that it's so quick. I was in a situation one time and I was like convinced that the guy I was dating was like making out.
I can't even get into it. I actually can't even get into it. Because you know what? What's wrong with me? That I was like, and that's fine. And that's okay. Like, and I'll stay.
That's actually a great question.
That's me.
You know, I think it was like, I was just so emotionally unavailable, but I wouldn't admit it.
But you know what? I get so many messages from girls who were like, I hate him, he's mean to me, I don't like his friends. Like, giving me all these reasons, and then they're like, should I break up?
I'm like, you've given me no pros in this, this list you've given me.
I'm like, okay, so he murdered my dog, but like, he was old.
My CDs are in his car.
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 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 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.

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 Offigato 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 Offigato Creme filling, 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 Offigato wherever you shop for snacks and choose happiness with every bite.

I was gonna say, this is like the first time I've been away from Kitty in a while.
Oh babe, I'm sorry.
And I'm doing okay, but Kitty is not.
Kitty has wreaked havoc for two days straight because she's like, "Where the fuck is my mom?"
And I know that she's wreaking havoc because I know her type of revenge, and it's, "I'll shit in your bed." "I'll shit in your bed until my mom comes home."
Cats take on their owner's personality? She has Sicilian revenge.
She's very vengeful. Low-key proud of her. I'm like, "Yeah, make your mark, girl. Let it be known that you're pissed." I'm like, "I wish I could text her and be like, 'I'll be home in five days.'"
I tried to FaceTime her, but no, like, I feel so bad for Kitty. Maybe I'll go over and see her, but I have to go to Toronto. The mom is wor- both her moms are working.
You know what's funny, too, is like, my cat's name is Kitty. Like everyone that comes over and knows Daphne, like will be like, what's up Kitty?
You talk about her calling her Daphne, but to her face, you call her Kitty.
Kitty. Well, yeah, that's her government name is Daphne.
But at home, she's Kitty. Listening to us. My favorite thing about cats, and I saw this meme recently, and it's so fucking true, is dogs will be like, what are we doing? Where are we going? What are we doing? Like following you around where cats just happen to be in the same room as you all the time.
No, Kitty's always like, oh, I didn't know you were in the bedroom.
I just heard him butter sleeping on the bed next to me, but she was sleeping on the couch a second ago. She just happened. They're just the best.
I wish we could see like an actual stat, like a real number of how many girls have gotten cats because of this podcast. I mean, it's gotta be over, it's gotta be over a hundred and fifty.
There's been a beta blocker and feline adoption rate spike in 2025.
No, the feline rate is.
Did I say feline rate?
I love that.
Also, did you see Benny Blanco?
What'd he do?
So he's launching a podcast, coming for our jobs.
By himself or with a co-host?
I actually don't know those details, but there's a clip going around of him. He has no, no shoes on, which like, whatever, like get your views. He's barefoot, but the bottom of his feet are like black. And then he like farts on Selena Gomez's couch. So there's just like a clip going viral being like Benny's dirty and farting on Selena's couch.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Actually, don't even Google it. You'll get upset.
Coming for your brand. Second.
Okay, you've listened to one episode of Giggly Squad. You're like, the girls love. Yeah. When you say farted on the couch, like they're recording the pod?
Yeah, he was like, can the microphone pick up this and? He let out a fart that was actually so dainty and high pitched, I got the ick. If you're gonna fart, fart like, fart, fart, fart like a grown up, okay? Like fart like you ate a full meal. Don't fart like my cat.
Bodily functions, it's natural, it's human.
The fart was the least worst part about it.
The feet being dirty, that's disgusting.
Well, this is the thing. We all know that he, he has trillions of dollars. Um, there's no excuse. And even if your feet are dirty, put on a flip flop.
No, just go in the shower, run the water, and, and it'll little, it'll literally.
It was just, no, just going viral, but then also like.
Sometimes if I'm, I mean, if I'm like in my apartment, like I don't care, whatever. But if I walk, I'm not really walking anywhere bare feet, but like in the summer, if I'm going outside and I'm like outside and like whatever, and I come back into my house or something.
If I ever went outside.
If I like enjoyed nature for a minute and I came back inside, before I get in my bed, I'm rinsing my feet, even if I'm not showering, even if I've showered that morning.
Full shower, always. If I spill, if I spill ketchup on my knee, I'm taking a full shower. If I could ketchup behind my fingernails, I'm taking a full shower.
Yeah, I don't wanna see this clip, actually.
I think she's not a gasp. I think she's like, yeah, I didn't, I didn't marry this guy cuz he was clean.
He never tricked her and like he was like Glenn Powell, who looks like he showers every second, yeah?
I've had multiple boyfriends who will not fart in front of me.
Paige, I am so sorry, that is gay.
That is, they're not establishing dominance. A man farting is the only way he establishes his dominance. And but you know how I respond? Stronger.
I'm almost like, is it me?
You make him so anxious, he can't fart.
Do I make them so nervous that they're like?
Their buttholes are like, ooh.
They're like, this'll actually, she'll leave. She'll never talk to me again. I'm like, whatever, keep that energy.
When we've been in the green room and you know I have my nervous poops and then you have to go to the bathroom and you get upset. That's some of my biggest joy is watching you get worked up.
And being uncomfortable. No, because Hannah, there's so many situations where you fully hotboxed me. And I'm like, you didn't have to do this to me.
You're like mid panic attack.
And I'm like, you just farted in my mouth. I'm like, did you have Doritos today?
I'm like, I'm trying to distract you.
Um, Kim Kardashian, lazy, never works.
Put out an energy drink. Where does she find the time?
No, wait, where does she find the time?
But it got me thinking. Cause I feel like everyone has an energy drink nowadays.
We should come out with a sleepy drink.
Or we put out an energy drink, but for girls who like, you don't actually want too much energy. You just want enough to like, get out of your depression. But you don't want too much that you're like jittery. So it's just called like, a little bit of energy.
A small bit. See, I think we should come out with a drink that makes you fully comatose.
I know, but that scares me.
Like a liquid melatonin.
I know, but someone, you know, like, sleep drinks were really in for a while. They're like, this is my drink for sleep. I have, I have.
Oh, like sleepy, oh, because people were putting like magnesium in it. I actually still, every once in a while, will do that. I would say like, once a week, I have magnesium in a drink.
I put on the golf channel and I listen to them go.
Yeah, that'll get you right.
Jim, we're approaching the fourth tee.
You're literally.
This putt is three inches from the hole.
You love your grandpa so much. You are my grandpa.
Like, I don't have a grandpa. I haven't had a grandpa since I was four years old. But if I had to think of what a grandpa would be like right now, it's you, for me. You're like, "Hey, do you want to go to the US Open?" And I'm like, "Not really, but okay. I'll go because you like it."
And we'll have some jokes.
Yeah. You're like, "I could teach you tennis." I'm like, "Okay, grandpa."
And then I'm like, "Watch me play some tennis." And you're like, "Grandpa!"
No, literally, watching you play. No. I'm actually not going to talk bad about that because I love watching you play tennis because I love sitting.
It's my art.
Yeah, I'm like, "Look at her having fun."
It's actually the prettiest I ever am when I'm playing tennis. It's like the one time I like look put together.
No, you're a ballerina. You're doing a performance.
It is performance art.
It's a choreography.
I don't want to bring this up because it's upsetting, but I'm going to bring it up. Have you seen all the Punch the Monkey stuff?
Why are they putting this footage out? Like, I can't handle it emotionally.
They're distracting us from all the other fucked up shit that's going on.
Did you see the new White Lotus cast announcement?
No, I didn't.
So what's crazy about it is somehow every season, they literally cast this exact same people, but different fonts.
Wait, I'm going to look it up right now.
Which makes me, you kind of like it because it's like a formula, but I'm like, "How did he find the perfect person?" Who's just like the other guy.
What season is this even now? Season four?
I think four.
Helena Ba- I never know how to say her name. Hel- Helena Bonham Carter?
Yep.
She's just perfect for whatever he's putting her, whatever her role is, it's going to be perfect. AJ.
McCullough?
Is that the Ally and AJ?
Yeah. Oh my god, good for her.
She's perfect because she reminds me, they all just, they fit perfectly. Then there's always like, Steve Coogan, he's definitely European, that's not an American looking man.
Yes, I've seen him in movies, yep.
So they always need like a British guy.
He's in that, he's in a Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg movie, that's what I know him from. And Ari Grayner.
Mm-hmm.
I know her. What is she from? There's something I know her from.
And then Alexander Ludwig, Ludwig, I don't know how they say it, is just like the classic hot guy. Um, Ari Grayner, you know, she changes her hair color a lot. Um, she was in a lot of things. She was in Bad Teacher. She was in-
Yes, I'm used to her being blonde, that's what it is.
Yep, yeah.
Wow, this is gonna be so good.
So we're locked in. I do have to say, remember we were like, oh, people who are on reality TV and like who's gone on to be successful? Shout out to Mike White.
Mike fucking White.
Okay.
Put some respect on his name.
Good, there's hope for us yet.
There's hope for us.
Um, oh, so there was a blizzard in New York City this last weekend.
And people were upset that they're still making the news people go into the blizzard to be like, "Hey, there's a blizzard." And then they get like hit in the face with like-
Per for the cores.
As a journalist, what is your opinion? So you don't think they could just be by a window, be like, "Hey, there's a blizzard."
Look, in college, I quickly learned meteorology wasn't for me. Sorry they didn't do the same, get your ass out in that goddamn rainstorm.
Nobody wants to work these days.
Nobody wants to work these days. I, how do I know it's windy unless I see your jacket moving?
Get your ass on the streets and give us some infield reporting. This is not a remote job.
But also like, they could just film people who are already on the street. Like, there's no reason.
They gotta show the conditions. Look, that's the number one reality TV show out there. It's the goddamn local news and the weather.
Well, they realize the ratings go up when you like chuck a guy in a suit in the middle of a hurricane and see if he floats.
People wanna see it. People wanna see what's going on out there.
Give the people what they want.
No, I'm here for people in, the news reporters in the hurricanes.
As long as they get out safely, obviously, and they don't push it to the limit. But like, you know.
Give us a good show.
Give us one hit. You can give us one news hit. I don't need you out there all night. Just give us one hit of like, what, from your perspective, what's it like in the trenches of it?
What about when it's raining?
Forget an umbrella. That's why they invented them. But not girls.
No.
Not girls.
No, cuz they have an outfit.
If girls wanna stay in, they're like, yeah, if they wanna stay in the studio, they can stay in the studio.
If it's a little humid, she shouldn't have to go outside cuz then her hair could get kind of like fuzzy. Not fuzzy, what is it called?
Um.
Staticy.
Yeah, I was just gonna say something. No, I forgot. Oh, speaking of hair, I looked up the ice skater. Cuz when you said that, like, oh, she has like halos in her hair, I don't know what I was like expecting.
That's what the Gen Z's call it.
Yeah, and then I looked it up. It actually looked so cool when she had it in a pony when she was doing her routine.
Well, I think she put it in a bun out of like, kind of a respect thing to be like, okay, I'm not gonna dye it back, but I'll put it in a bun.
Did she get points deducted for it?
I don't know, but you know what I do know? They all do their own makeup.
Really?
When I watched the documentary, they're all like, like us before a show, just when I'm on the road, just in the mirror of the hotel room, putting on their makeup, and I'm like... They shouldn't have to worry about glam.
I was seeing, they were talking about this about traitors too, that they all do their own glam.
That's, I don't know if I believe that. I mean, Maura Higgins, her glam is insane.
She was doing her own.
Good for her.
And I think she was wearing wigs.
Because she was always like, had different hairstyles and like would have a hat on, so, which is actually so fucking smart of her because that's it, like the hair is done, you just have to like put it on your head.
You're so right, and she threw a hat on.
But not all of us can pull off a hat, especially like, the wild hats she was doing.
How early were they getting up to like do glam and then start? I would, I literally would never want to do it.
It's two weeks. It's like, do it two weeks and then you're done. It's not like a six month event. One of the girls, Natalie, everyone's making fun of her for her outfits, so obviously I sympathize.
Wait, Nat, from what? Oh, from Traitors.
Well, she's, it's funny because they'll be eating breakfast and she'll walk in just with like,
A bodycon.
A bodycon dress, or she looks like she's like a female wrestler. She's also like a weightlifter, so she's, you could tell like she's not normally wearing these fancy clothes. She's basically dressing how she thought she should and everyone's making fun of her, whatever. So she says in the interview, she's like, She's like, I wish I hired a stylist, but like, she's like, I'm from Survivor. We just had to show up and survive. Like, I didn't know this was a fashion walk. But the truth is, is Traitors is kind of a fashion show.
Well, it's also like, people are just so mean to women. It's like crazy. Like, if, sorry, if you feel comfortable in, I don't even watch the show. If you feel comfortable enough going, what's her name? Danielle?
Natalie.
Natalie. If you feel comfortable enough going on Natalie's Instagram and commenting, your outfit sucks, get a life.
She's also like gorgeous and so strong and just like an amazing personality.
Yeah, I'm sure she's lovely.
She's also classic, this is, oh, okay, this is where the traitors is funny. When you're a woman on the traitors, if you're loud, people are like, she's a crazy bitch. I don't trust her. But if you're a loud man, you're assertive. He's, everyone listens to him. Where like Natalie was loud and everyone's like, she's a villain schemer.
And then when the girls are quiet, it's like they think they're up to something. But when a man is quiet, he's just smart.
They had a literal kidnapper on the cast. Like, check the trunk of that guy's car. What are we talking about? Are you kidding? Like, God forbid you wore a strapless shirt to breakfast. This guy could be murdering people. Here's what we don't talk about enough as women. Thinning hair is common, and there's something you can actually do about it.

I watch RuPaul's Drag Race now. I finished season 12 and now I'm starting season seven.
Why, why are you going in such a weird order?
Great question. I don't know. I think, because I, I don't know.
I'm sure the gigglers can tell you, because like when I first started Love Island many, many moons ago, I was told like start at season two and then go, you know, so I'm sure the gigglers can give you like the best seasons.
I think five and six are the best. I also, Trixie and Katia have like an amazing podcast, so I want to see their season.
Wait, actually, tell me what season that is because I am obsessed with their clips. I feel like they're us if we were gay men.
No, I, well, I was a gay man.
I feel like I'm M1 right now. I have so much testosterone, but yet I love glam.
Wait, I was gonna pitch this to you off the pod, but I think it's the perfect time.
Great.
We have to do Hannah and Paige Do Drag.
And we have to get drag queens to put us in full drag outfit, walk, lip sync.
I fear I'm gonna love it. I fear like, that is who I am now.
Can I ask the hardest question I've ever asked on this pod?
Sure.
Who do you think has more testosterone, me or you?
Okay, actually because like I've, wait, because I had, when I froze my eggs, you have to get your blood tested. Well, you have to do it like every other day when you're getting, freezing your eggs, but you go in for like your initial blood test and I, that's why my doctor like originally thought I had PCOS because I had so much testosterone.
Yeah, you never cried. And you were kind of misogynistic.
I'm no better than a man. I'm no better than a man. No, I really, no, so I definitely have high testosterone.
You would slap my ass for no reason.
Someone cheated on me in the fifth grade and I never got over it. Okay, that's why I am the way that I am. Have some compassion.
No, literally.
Did you get tested after the egg retrieval and you've balanced a little?
No, so then when I was doing my egg retrieval and they were giving me like more, like way more than I should be having, I was like leveled out.
I actually was obsessed with you during your egg retrieval. You were obsessed with yourself.
I was a joy. I was a pleasure to have around.
A pleasure in class. Truly a pleasure. You had empathy.
You were asking people questions.
I was helping old ladies across the street. Like, I was doing the most.
You were picking up litter.
They immediately took those eggs out of me and I was like, fuck you, fuck your mom, and I'll fuck your dad. Like, I was, no, and did I ever go, like, get checked after? No, I definitely am still... But I will say, after I froze my eggs, my period has never been more regular.
That's amazing.
So I think maybe, like, it did even me out a little bit.
Like, some people will tell girls, like, "You're in your masculine energy, you're not gonna find a man." What do you think about that?
Hannah, that's an amazing question and I have an amazing answer. Being feminine is very different than being, um...
I don't even wanna say the word submissive, because I feel like that's like almost a little bit harsh.
No, but submissive is kinda like the traditional...
When you're in a relationship with a man, being... No, being feminine is like a personality trait, but I would say being like nurturing, or like being soft, or like being like, "Oh yeah," like whatever. I guess like a form of submissive is not a personality trait, it's like a response to how you treat me. So like, I've had so many boyfriends where I'm like, "Okay, and now I guess I'm a fucking man, because I have to be in charge of all this goddamn bullshit." Where like, na- like, then you're getting into relationships with men and I'm like, "I'm so silly." And I'm like, "Wait, what if we like stayed up late and like talked about everything?"
And that is just like a response to how that man makes you feel. It's a response level to your security. So like, yeah, have I been in certain relationships and I'm like, "I'm so fucking masculine right now?" Yes, but is it because of me? No.
I hate to say it, that's literally exactly what I was gonna say. Cause I've been told in the past, like, oh, you're in your masculine energy, whatever. And I'm like, yeah, cuz I have to.
Cuz I have to be. That's like a fight or flight.
Yes.
If you feel like you're in your masculine energy, it's because you're in fight or flight.
Also, I love being in full, whatever masculine energy is, and I put that in quotations cuz it's just society telling you that being business minded is like masculine. But I'll be on like some call.
I know so many men who are, I've watched business fail, fail, and I'm like, what? Go back to college, honey. You obviously missed a class. Like, I know more horrible businessmen than I do business women. I know a ton of amazing business women.
You know, it's crazy. I was looking at like businesses, like, and just like which ones are up and coming that I wanna like follow. I'm obsessed with like foods and stuff. Like, I love seeing like a new food that gets invented.
Yeah, like my girl, like, the girl that has freestyle olives.
Yes, I love that.
I found them years ago, and I'm just like, fuck yeah, I love supporting that girl.
But I feel like I would wanna be a part of a business that a woman was running cuz I'm like, she's not gonna let it die. She is going to mother and nurture and care and be detail oriented, where the man, I'm like, I feel like he's, I feel like he's cheating me. Like, I feel like he's like pulling a fast one.
He could get up and leave at any mo- he could leave in the middle of the night, but never not.
I'm like, double check the numbers. I don't trust him.
But you know, it's so true. Be yourself, and then the right guy puts you in that place. Like, you can't help but be like, feeling cute around him. If a guy makes you feel like, like, big and serious around him, that's not your man.
No, that's not your man. If you have to be in charge, that is not your man. And also, speaking of business women, we both have female lawyers.
Oh, we have the best female lawyers.
Extremely important to note.
Also, my lawyer, this might be a little too much, um, I don't wanna give away your identity. She's also the, like, has multiple children and is the president of her PTA. She runs like everything. She's just like the shit.
And we can do it all.
No, we actually can. Like, you know what is funny? Because now like I'll go on like work trips. Like I'm in L.A. for like a pretty long time. And I would have never thought this even like a year ago. But I literally got off my flight, like got to my hotel and my thought was like, yeah, I could do, I could have a baby. I could bring a baby on like this work trip.
Oh.
Isn't that sweet?
Wait, that's so sweet.
I mean, I'm not gonna because that would be crazy. But like, but I was like, oh, like, could I still do this and like have a baby? And I was like, yeah, I fucking could. Because I've dated so many babies. That I'm like, I could fuck, I could do this.
I also want to raise awareness to there's something about right now with what's going on, like the whole hockey thing. The patriarchy enforces telling women like, we need to keep the family structure alive, which is basically saying, we want women to be submissive. We, we want it to be traditional. We want it old school. We don't want women to have jobs. Like, we just want women to be like making babies all the time. It's a way to suppress women. It's because it's if you care about, not to get too into it, but if you care about the economy, the economy is better when women are working also.
Taylor Swift literally saved like multiple US cities just for showing up.
And also, guess what? Your man's about a business? No problem. You're staying at home.
You're staying at home. Okay? Learn how to clean a dish. Cause you can't do an Excel sheet, that's for sure.
Oh, God.
Um, news alert.
I read an article on TikTok that said, you actually don't need 10K steps a day.
Are you fucking kidding me?
This article said-
Hannah, do you know that I've been obsessed with my 10K steps for two weeks? Because I Googled, "What's gonna take my Botox away?" And they were like, "You gotta sweat, and you gotta do 10K steps, and you gotta go in the sauna." So every single day, I'm like, I wake up and I'm like, "If I don't get my 10K steps in, I'll die."
Oh, cuz you're trying to release the Botox.
Yeah, I'm trying anything.
You're, you're in a glass case of your own Botox emotion.
I'm like, "I can't believe I did this to myself."
It's, it's not bad that you're doing 10K, but I feel like 10K takes forever. Like, low-key, I feel like a lot of girls are lying when they say they're doing 10K. Like, that takes like-
It takes like-
Three hours.
No, it takes a legit, almost two. You could do it in an hour thirty.
Now, if you have a walking pad, that's another thing, but like, going out and walking for two hours, like, you could get robbed. Like, that's like a risk, you know?
So it's three walks for me a day, or-
You're a full dog.
Or-
You have to get walked three times. Or you get a little spicy.
Yeah, and if you piss me off, I'll pee on your shoe.
It's three walks a day for me, or it's like an hour and a half on the-
Okay, and you have like, a unique life situation. Not everyone can have three walks a day. So anyway, the article said that actually, you just need seven K a day.
Oh, thank God.
Seven K.
So I hit it today.
Seven K is more attainable, and people won't quit as much. So like, if you wanna get healthy and on your feet-
Wait, Hannah.
Seven K. Yeah.
Do you know that I'm, I have an, uh, step app that I compete with other people in?
Well, you know, it's crazy, you never invited me.
Do you want, do you want in?
Are you scared of this heat?
No, I'm not scared of that heat. You want me to put you in my family one? I'll put you in my family one.
Wait, yeah, put me in.
It's me, Gary, Amanda, and Joe, and so I'll add you. I'm sending you the link immediately. Just to let you know, Gary doesn't even check in. We have no idea if he's even alive.
And this was all created for Gary.
The one day I texted him and I was like, hey dude, uh, says seven steps. You good? Like, are you alive?
Wait, it can see how little steps you do? I don't like that at all. Cause I have, I have down days.
You have to go into the app and then it'll like update.
Register it. Okay. Well, you know, I love.
Right now I'm at 7,544. Amanda's at 6,971. Gary, it says null. He never checked in, so we'd have no idea.
See, I love a rest day.
Yeah, we gotta have a rest day.
Were you walking around LA?
Doh, I woke up this morning at 7 a.m. I was in the gym by 7:30. I was out of the gym by 8:30, showered by 9, filmed something quick, then got into glam at 10, and I just sat down for the first time today.
I'm, but you know what? When you have something filmed coming up, you love a workout. See me.
I'm in my head.
Cause you wanna know why? Because, well, that's why.
I feel like when I work out every single day before like an event that I know I'm gonna be nervous at, it like helps your mental. And also because you were talking about that ski girl, I did see that clip. Okay, this is like so embarrassing, but I'm just gonna say it.
You know how like people do like affirmations? Okay, well like, sometimes I'm like, that's like so corny. I'm not like saying in my head. So I came up with my own that like makes sense for me.
This is our private podcast. You can say anything you want.
Okay, this is my diary. My affirmation, first I picture the people that I hate the most.
This is so Sicilian. I get the coloquio.
And my affirmation is fuck you, watch this. Hmm. So in my head, before I'm nervous for anything, I think about all the people that want me to fail. And in my head, I say, fuck you, watch this.
And then I go and I do it. You're feeling the feeling of being like, I already won.
And that's actually manifestation to before you do it, sit in the feeling of like, it already went the way you wanted. I also find when you put too much pressure on yourself, and if you're like, this is life and death. If I do badly, like I can't function. If I do great, I'll be the greatest ever. That is not good either. It's more just like, I'm the shit. I'm doing what I do. This isn't gonna make or break me. This isn't gonna make me a good person, a bad person. This isn't gonna change anything in my life. If you're happy before, you'll be happy after. If you're unhappy before, you'll be happy after. That's, that's like really my own shit. Um, but.
Also, when you're with the wrong person and you feel, you feel like even more that it's life or death. Because when you don't have someone to go home to that like will comfort you.
Mm-hmm. Also, Eileen Gu said something that I related to a lot. It's a little more stand-up and sports-y, but it's fucking what a good quote. She goes, "I practice like I've never won and I compete like I've never lost."
Wow. Okay, so she's fully prepared.
Yeah, she's, and she went to Stanford.
That's where we lost her.
Did you apply to any Ivy League schools?
I was going to Cornell because that's where my, my mom went.
Oh, you got in?
Yeah, but they, um, they didn't have scholarships, so I went to Wisconsin.
Hmm, smart.
Because deep down, I felt like I knew I was gonna be an entrepreneur and that the school I went to wasn't gonna. Even though I had no idea what kind of entrepreneur.
No one offered me to apply to any of those, so.
This is like, you're gonna be so jealous, and this is so country of me. I'm a legacy.
You are?
Well, when your parent goes to an Ivy.
Oh, okay.
So like, the legacy.
But are you still if you didn't go?
I don't think so, but I was. For a moment.
So like now, your, like if your daughter went to Wisconsin, they'd be like.
She's a legacy.
Me and my mom went to the same high school.
And it's still.
And it's still there. It's still happening.
Still poppin'.
