Cozy season is upon us, which is one of my favorites. I love a chill, crisp morning and I love opening the window and like feeling it on my face.

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, 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 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.
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 10 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.
Sup, Gigglers?
Gary, fix the wifi.
Manifest that shit.
We can't be managed.
I mean, the day just got away from me.
So everyone was messaging me that it was a missed opportunity last week to say, "Gangly and Gigglers."
Wait, you froze.
Oh wait, you froze. Oh, there you are. You're back. What'd you say?
Nothing.
You're like, no comment.
Wait, what did you say?
I said, um, last week, it was a missed opportunity for Gangly and Gigglers.
Yeah, that actually was.
How's your Gangly and doing?
She's good. She's like, she's thriving. She loves Italy. She's like, so.
Is it bone or is it fluid?
I don't know, but I'm definitely not gonna hit it with a book because one girl messaged me and she was like, "Yeah, like my dad did that and then like I broke my wrist."
And I was like, "That would actually happen to me, so I'm gonna go see a doctor." And she was like, "I think that's best."
Yeah. Also, yeah, I got a spray tan last night.
Oh.
A little dark. Honestly, against the light, it doesn't look as bad, but-
Your summer is filled with trials and tribulations.
It's one of, I think, one of the best summers you've had in a while.
No, like, it's never boring over in these parts.
Oh!
What?
Woman of STEM of the Week. Woman of STEM of the Week goes to Paige, um, for somehow getting like a moving picture perfectly placed, um, to like tease her audience about your love life.
It was a live photo that I saved as a video.
Gorgeous, perfect. So cute, cuz it's like about you.
So, we're at our second hotel and last night was our last dinner in Cappri and my dad gets the same thing for dinner every single night. He gets spaghetti vongole, spaghetti and clams.
Mmm.
And last night, he's ordering and he goes, "I'll have the spaghetti fangool", which is fuck, you in Italy, in the town.
And we all looked at it.
And he goes, "Sorry, I don't know why I just said that."
And the waiter was like, "It's okay." He was kinda like, "Happens all the time," like-
And he's like, "Fangoolo to you too, what do you want?"
And it was just the best moment that's happened in so long. You know how like you have a joke that goes the whole trip? Ours is just making fun of my dad and like saying things that we think my dad would say, like, like the way he says like, "Grazia," like he says, "Grazie." Like, and so like every time we're somewhere, we're like, "Grazie, but no grazie." Like, we're just kidding.
Why is there this thing with dads where like, once they pronounce something, that's just how they pronounce it? There's no growth. There's like, if my dad thinks my friend's name is something, and I correct him, he's like, that's their name. You know?
Dads are just like, built in entertainment. I don't know what it is. Like, they hit a certain age and everything they do is just the funniest thing you've ever seen.
Well, I want to know what the behind the scenes is like when shooting Gary and all these TikToks, cuz he is serving, he's locked in. Is he easy to work with on set? Is he, what's his vibe?
He's pretty demanding on set. He's like, he's like, come on, let's do it. Where like, my mom is the complete opposite. She's like, I want nothing to do with any of this. And he, like, we did the one TikTok, I posted it, everyone was like, in the comments, loving it. He came to my room, like, he doesn't have TikTok, so like,
Yeah.
Even if I send him the video, like, he can't see the comments. Like, I have to download the video and send it to him.
Woman of STEM of the week.
But he comes to my room, like, after it's been on the internet for like, two hours, and he goes, you know, I was thinking, like, we really should have done it again. Like, I really could have nailed it, and I don't think I nailed it. And I was like, shut up.
I remember during COVID, when I forced my dad to be in the videos, which is so funny, cuz he won't wanna be in it, but then he'll be like, why didn't you ask me to be in it? So I put him in it, and then he has Instagram, so he was scrolling through, being like, people really liked our video. And it really went straight to his head.
Now that you're home, how much did you miss Butter?
That's my heart and soul. That's my heart, my soul. When I walked in, I go, Mom is here. She's like, thank God, I don't have to pretend to love Dez anymore. When I told you, when I tell you she sat on my shoulder all night long, all morning, I actually didn't get out of bed for like, three hours, cuz I was like, we just need to be together right now.
So she doesn't, like, get mad at you?
She's kinda used to me leaving her, which is so sad to say. She knows I'm gonna come back, and the second I'm back, she's like, "Thank fucking god." Cause she's been cuddling with Dez, but she like, looks away. When she cuddles with him, she's like, "Oh."
Yeah, I feel like Kitty's like, love-starved right now, cause everyone that goes and visits her is like, she's all over me, and I'm like, because she doesn't know what's happening.
Yeah, she's taking anything she can get. Whereas Butter, I wish she would at least get affection from other people besides Dez, but she hates my cat sitters. She's like, once she refused to eat, do you remember she did an eating strike?
Yeah, I remember that.
The cat sitter was like, "I think she's lost, she hasn't eaten for 10 days." I'm like, "No, she just doesn't like you."
She's like, "She's actually trying to hit her goal weight."
She's actually so grossed out by you, she lost her appetite.
I don't know how people leave kids.
Like, I was like, "This is an animal that can't speak to me," and I'm like, "It's too long, I did the trip for too long, I can't be away from Kitty this long."
Do you know the furball actually makes it harder for me? I stopped looking at my furball.
It's really sad.
Wait, hold on one sec. I have to poop myself really quick.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
The coffee just hit! Hold on!
Ten minutes later.
I actually lied, I had coffee like, five hours ago. But I did make myself eggs, like, an hour ago.
And I think I poisoned myself. Do you know what I actually did? Are you good at making eggs?
Yeah, I can make eggs. Like scrambled, fried, I can do a poached. I went through a real poached egg phase in college. I don't know why.
You thought you were better than everyone?
I was like, "Sorry, I have an 8 a.m. class and I poach my eggs. What do you do?"
I don't have time to fully cook my egg. We're doing a poach.
All my eggs like never taste as good as when people make eggs for me. Like I make Dez make my eggs. It just tastes better when he makes them.
That's how I feel about sandwiches.
Yeah, but he was like busy and I was like, you're independent woman, like you could do this. So I searched like how to make eggs actually taste good. And it's like, you're just supposed to put like as much butter as you can. Which like, no shit Sherlock.
Do you fuck around with a hard boiled egg?
I love a hard boil.
Oh, okay.
But I need salt and pepper. I love a pepper. I love a sama. I love a fig. I love a horse.
I love a hard boiled egg with hot sauce.
You're freaky.
Yeah, I it's so, it's such a good snack. Chop up like two hard boiled eggs, some hot sauce on there.
Mmm, Bobby Flay is shaking right now.
Wait, actually, I, this is the first time I've been away in Italy that I'm like, I'm ready to come home. Like I miss my snacks.
You've been gone for
Too long.
A century.
I did the trip for too long this year.
You also, you died, you came back to life.
Yeah, I think that's what threw a real wrench in it.
Well, I'm over here while you're eating vongole. I put a lot of butter for the first time in my eggs.
Cause I like making healthy food.
You know, like, but I was like, whatever, I'm putting butter in it. But I just shot my brains out.
So you scrambled?
Okay. Do you want to hear something really like?
I also put milk in it too. Okay. I put every form of dairy in it.
So one of my, I was talking to one of my girlfriends the other night and she was like, oh my God, that's so crazy that you had this happen to you in Capri. I had the same thing happen to me. I got this like crazy stomach bug, lasted like a couple of days. She was like, I got back home and I still like, wasn't going to the bathroom like correctly. She was like, so I went to the doctor and he said to me that whatever I had triggered IBS. And she's like, and I've had IBS ever since. And I go,
No.
When was this? And she goes, four years ago.
So now I'm like, wait a minute, cause I sit, like even though I feel fine, I'm, I'm not going to the bathroom normally.
Like it's not a normal bathroom experience. And so I said this to my mom and she goes, you know, your mind is a really powerful thing and you keep saying that your body's sensitive and that you might have IBS and so God is gonna actually give it to you. So you, she goes, you don't have IBS, you had a stomach bug, get over it.
She goes, you had two stomach aches and now it's your whole personality.
Yeah, and so now I'm like internally though, I'm like, I have IBS because like, okay, today at lunch, I had lunch, ate normally. And then before we got back on the boat, I was like, guys, I'm just gonna do a quick bathroom break. And I went to the bathroom and that's not me, that's you.
That's my whole personality. Wait, was there a place to go to the bathroom on the boat?
Yeah, but I get too seasick, so like I can't go down in there.
See, that's where we're different. I could shit anywhere, in the air, on the ground, in the water.
No, we had a boat day planned, like a couple, like the day before I died. And it was like a smaller boat than like we usually take. And I was on it for five minutes and I said, you have to turn around. Like I actually can't do this today. Like I get seasick.
You're like, team, we're done.
They go, but you already paid. I go, I literally, there's no amount of money worth my comfortability.
But what if you like just decided you were gonna jump in the water and chill in the water?
No, I couldn't. Because the ocean, I get seasick in the ocean.
I can get seasick just, I can get seasick just thinking about it.
Do you know why I'm obsessed with you? Cause then you'll be like, water's my everything. Water's where.
I am a spurpy, I am a water sign. No, I do feel like I do. I ju- wait, okay, here's the other thing. It's me, my brother, Amanda and Joe. And me and my brother, like, I didn't realize that me and my brother are Olympic swimmers. Like, we are so good at swimming because I was like, looking at the two of them and I was like, guys, pick up the pace, like.
Wait, were you, like, doing laps?
No, like, we were just like treading, we were in the ocean, but like, me and Gary are like, we're going underwater, we're coming back up, we're dolphins. And they were like, guys, how do you go so fast? And I think that I truly missed my calling as being a swimmer.
I do think your wingspan is like Olympic level. Like, Michael Phelps and you have kind of the same body type.
Like, I love a relay race in the pool, I love, like, any swimming competitions because I'm...
I love a summer, I love a water.
And I really, I've, I wish there was like some type of race I could enter.
Wait, this is you as an Olympian. Actually, I feel kind of seasick today, can we not do the race today?
Well, I don't know how to dive.
You could learn.
I can't, I've tried.
I love that you're like, my entire identity is water, but it also is my arch nemesis.
Well, my mom didn't teach me how to dive when I was little, when I asked her to, because she was too scared that I was uncoordinated and I'd hit my head. So we just skipped that part of my childhood.
Once at a family party, a random man was like, I'll teach you how to dive, and like, like, did that, like, toss me in, like, he was like, bend over, and he like, flipped me in, it was like, that's how you learn how to dive, and I'm like, now I'm never, now I can't trust men, ever again. And I'm never going near water. I actually can't dive either. Paige, do you ever feel like we're constantly rushing from one thing to the next? Like, we're always trying to answer one more text, make one more plan, squeeze one more thing into the day. I swear, lately I've caught myself treating everything like a checklist. Finish this, go there, what's next? And I've been trying to get better about actually slowing down. And enjoying the little moments in life, instead of rushing through them. Which sounds very profound, but honestly, sometimes it's as simple as putting my phone down,
sitting on the couch, and having a few minutes to myself with Haagen-Dazs. Because some things are just better when you take your sweet time. Which got me thinking about something very important: ice cream flavors. I genuinely believe your favorite flavor says a lot about you. Not in a serious way, but in a "this explains so much about your personality" kind of way. So Paige, what does your favorite Haagen-Dazs flavor say about you?
Okay, this is the first time I'm trying the Coffee Almond Toffee.
Look at that. Could this be our, like, full-time job?
This is a brand-new flavor.
Oh, hell yeah. Wait, how do they make it taste like...
I don't know.
But like, so coffee espresso creamy?
You know what else Haagen-Dazs is really good at? When you put your spoon for the first time, you're not wrestling with someone on the other side.
No, it's smooth.
You guys, that was the first time Paige and I have slowed down and stopped talking for years.
Also, I'm really excited that Coffee Almond Toffee is a new flavor because my vibe this summer is I'm chilling.
Chilling and just letting yourself be. That's a flavor you sit with. You don't need a boyfriend. You need your family. It's all you need.
The Dark Cherry Truffle, it has changed my life.
I love to eat the Salted Brown Butter Cookie when it's just like a cozy moment after spending a day being crazy, just having that first moment that's purely yours. And I also love a little salty-sweet moment, and that's what the brown butter tastes like.
I feel like as you get older, you realize that's when you're an adult, when you're like, "I mean, if I'm gonna have sweet, I'm gonna also have to have salty."
Paige, you're so Dark Cherry Truffle. It's so Scorpio-coded.
Aren't I? Right when I saw it, I said, "Ha, it's..." And then I opened it up, it was a little bit of a pink shade. I said, "Yes." I actually think that you are the coffee almond toffee.
For sure.
When I think Hannah, I think coffee toffee. I feel like you go into the hairstylist and you're like, the color I want is coffee toffee.
Wait, that's my hair color, coffee toffee.
But honestly, no matter what flavor you love, there's something nice about giving yourself permission to slow down every once in a while and enjoy the moment you're in. That's what I love about Haagen-Dazs. It's the ice cream that inspires you to slow down, savor the moment, and take your sweet time instead of rushing to whatever's next. So if you're ready for a little moment of indulgence, pick up a Haagen-Dazs and we dare you to try and not love the new coffee almond toffee. With Brazilian coffee ice cream, buttery toffee pieces, and California almonds, it's a flavor that's truly worth savoring. Find coffee almond toffee at a retailer near you and remember to take your sweet time with Haagen-Dazs.
Also, I don't typically get hit on in America, like... Like, I don't feel like men are out here like hitting on women anymore. Like, I couldn't tell you the last time I was like somewhere and I was like, I think that guy's flirting with me. Because I just, it doesn't come across my desk. It honestly doesn't.
Yeah, and you're like the level of pretty where like men really have to like talk themselves into doing it. Yeah, I've read articles about that.
So today, I'm like about, I'm like leaving lunch and I'm like, I'm about to go shit myself and I'm walking to the bathroom and one of the waiters goes, "Hi, how are you?" And I go, "Good, how are you?" In my head, I'm like, I'm about to shit myself. But "Good, how are you?" And he goes, "So much better now." And I, I was like, "Oh my god." And then as I was walking up the stairs, he goes, "Bum, bum, bum, bum." And I was like, "Oh my god."
Did you tell your dad?
No, because my dad would be like, who?
Where is he?
No, I kept it in. I saved it for the pod.
Wait, I'm so happy that happened to you.
Thank you. I really needed it in my time of despair because I was like, I'm actually in a cold sweat if I don't get to the toilet.
That guy was definitely hitting on you, but sometimes I'm like, is he hitting on me or is he just a beautiful Italian?
Talking. Okay, here's the thing with the Italians. Like, I saw two men the other day. They were police officers and I was like, why are you hotter than our A-list actors in America?
No, why are police guys in Italy so hot and they're never working, right?
No, I looked at this like one garbage man. I go, we had Rat Boy Summer last year. Can you come over? Like, what's going on?
Wait, that's why I'm watching the World Cup.
Beautiful, beautiful men.
Argentina's team, there was one guy with blue eyes. Like, when he came on the screen, I was like, I, I, I felt a visceral, physical, I was like, oh, like I made like a gasp.
No, I haven't felt a physical reaction to seeing a man in person in years, years. And I was like, oh my God, this is the best looking guy I've ever seen in my life and he's picking up trash in the streets of Italy. I was like, get in my suitcase, come over, I'll make you a star.
I'll make you a star? Oh my God.
I'm like, let me get you an acting coach. Let me get you an agent. You have something we could work with.
You just start, you're like, can you sing? What's your range of emotion? Like, I, also though with World Cup, I was thinking how like football has like hot guys, but they're wearing
helmets and then basketball is just not enough guys.
Yep.
Soccer is so many men and it's just, and someone was joking, it just looks like a Love Island cast. Cause they're all just like 25 to 35 year old, super fit.
It's the only time I see a man bun and I'm like, fine.
See, you know what? The man, it's, I don't like, I still don't like it.
But I feel like soccer players have this like different kind of swag, like,
Like, I like tattoos, I've always liked tattoos. And, but in America, there's certain men pull them off differently. Where I feel like when you're watching a soccer game, you're like, yeah, you guys, you all pull it off.
You're almost like, that man needs a man bun.
Yes.
That's a requirement for this job. Yeah, there was like a goalie with a man bun that looked like he would have been weird without the man bun. Also, I have to apologize to the community, this, this guy, Holland, I said he played for Sweden. He plays for Norway. And these Norwegian guys are straight up Vikings. They're all just like, blonde, blue eyes, massive. Um, so that's been fun for me.
That guy's Birkin collection is like,
Insane.
Insane. There's also these girls online who are getting tagged because they look like him. And they're like blowing up, just like blonde girls that look like him. So that's, that's fun. It's, it's, I've been enjoying the World Cup and I talked shit about it in the beginning and now I'm really into it.
I'm so happy for you. Who's left? How many teams? I feel like it's been going on for a year.
So what happens is with soccer, like, after the game, they give them like tons of days to recover before the next game. But like, these guys, like Holland, Holland, yeah, he was in Miami. And they're in Miami for like six days beforehand. He's golfing, he's going to 11. I'm like, no wonder this guy was fucking tired in overtime. He's fucking having the time of his life in Miami.
One thing about soccer players though, like, they are so lanky. Like, I feel like they run so much. Like, there's, I can't be with someone skinnier than me.
No, they have zero body fat. Also, but I think what's also, what the girls are liking is that these guys are showing like a full range of emotion. They go from like, happy,
Are we liking it?
To in pain.
Someone posted, imagine if they had a ludial phase.
Wait, did you see the endometriosis thing? Yes.
Do you want to tell them?
So I saw this thing and it was, England is like, is rolling out this like endometriosis test, that basically they can tell within a couple of days by your saliva if you have endometriosis. And then someone else commented and was like, the only reason this testing has like started so vigorously as of late is because men are starting to feel symptoms of hormonal imbalances. And they're starting to feel symptoms of like a endometriosis type pain. And that's why it's getting so much love right now. But here's the thing,
I've never heard of a disease that takes 10 years to diagnose. That's, come on.
Also, the fact that all they needed to do was get some saliva, that's like the least invasive way. They basically like, actually we figured out we could look at you and be like, yeah, you have endometriosis.
Do you know how many women have had exploratory surgery to figure out if, one girl posted and she was like, it took me $65,000 to figure out I have endometriosis. She was like, I went to eight specialists and had two surgeries. Like, you're telling me I could spit in a fucking cup?
I just saw a video of a woman making fun of male doctors being like, so what's the pain level? Oh, eight? And you're wearing mascara? Interesting. Um, are you sure it's not anxiety? Are you feeling stressed at work? Okay, like, we've all had those conversations. They're like, maybe you should come back if it gets worse, or don't, I don't give a fuck.
One girl posted that she wanted to, um, I think she wanted to like, get her tubes tied. And the doctor wouldn't do it because she was like, well, what about, what would your hus- what would your husband think? And she goes, I'm not married. And he was like, well, what, what if you get married? And she goes, I don't want kids. And he was like, I don't, that's like a big, she was like, what? You're, like, you're not doing this off of a hypothetical human that we both haven't met?
Also, she's not getting a drunk tattoo. She's thought about it. You're not just rolling into the doctor. Also, as you know, people say that dogs are boys and girls are cats.
Someone said that they were just studying heart disease in dogs. And like, they just started, they just started testing in cats. They were just using dogs and those studies on to say what cats need.
And I'll burn the whole country down.
The misogyny is rampant.
No, it's actually so sad that even girl cats can't like, escape it.
Yeah, because in the room, it's all dogs making decisions for cats bodies.
It's so fucked up. Um, Love Island's over. Thank God.
Tell me what happened?
Like, did it end in a surprise or bad or like?
No, the couple that won should have won. I'm happy about, I'm extremely happy about the couple that ultimately won. The final four though, like,
someone posted and was like, this one girl, her name is Kenzie, people, I apparently found her annoying. Yeah, clam slammer. People found her annoying. I didn't find her annoying at all. But somebody posted and was like, America hates an annoying woman way more than they hate a pathological manipulative man and then listed like two of men that are in the final four that are like the most annoying men that I think have ever been on Love Island before. And it's just, it is that big of a deal. Like, Love Island is that big of a deal because it truly does show.
It represents culture.
It represents culture and it represents dating culture and now like, they're do it, like, there's a lot more articles that are coming out about how this is the first time there was like a hint of red pill in the Love Island sphere and it was weird and it was scary.
Can I say something crazy? People online never call men annoying.
No, and I've met.
A hundred annoying men in my li-
Cause you all know if I knew how to do splits, I didn't watch this season, I know they showed a lot of splits, I would have doubled the amount of splits she did if I could do splits. But yeah, annoying is a word used for women and by women as well, okay? We're, we're calling out women as well. Women are calling other women annoying.
Love Island also, they always do like a family day and like two members of your family will come and you get to like talk to them and they'll tell you like what's, what's America saying about it, like what's the perception of you? And Kenzie's dad didn't show, didn't come, but they had like a little video recording of him. And so many people were like, this is why she's so confident and doesn't care when a guy doesn't like her because he, in the video was just like, you're the best, you're perfect, you're doing exactly what you should be doing. Like, don't listen to these people. And so she wasn't in the final four, but I, and I'm not that mad that she wasn't in the final four
because I do think who she was coupled up with is a, you know, you know, the type. You know, those guys that, um-
Don't point at me!
You know, those guys that like have this like facade and because they're good looking and a little bit tall, so many women will fall for it.
One of my biggest pet peeves, and actually I get reminded of it every time I'm on vacation, you know, those kind of people that like, you don't know them, but you're like in a room or you're at a pool and there's people in front of you that talk loud because they want you to hear what they're saying because they think that like you'll think they're cool or some, like- That's one of my biggest pet peeves. I can't stand it. And I know so many men. Like, I've been in a situation where men will do it. And I'm like, who, who are you saying that so loudly for? Like, who do you want to have a perception of you? And like, what do you think it is?
That's like men at airports with their fucking phones. I'm like, you have to get off the call in one minute. We're literally taking off. Whatever you're talking about is not that important. There's also so many times, I hate to say it. And we've been in a lot of these situations where stuff we have going on is more important than whatever's going on in that man's life. But people around us treat their stuff more important. People talk about their stuff more. And when a woman does stuff, she's ambitious. Men never get called ambitious. Because when they say ambitious with a woman, there's a tinge of negativity to it. Like, oh, you're trying to be something. You're trying to win at something. When a man's ambitious, it's like as he should be.
Oh, my God, Hannah. You're so right. Whenever someone calls a woman ambitious, there is like a tinge of...
Like, so she's not going to take care of a family.
She's got to be different. Oh, she thinks so highly of herself.
She's ambitious. Like, she, yeah, she thinks she deserves more than other people.
Oh, my God, you kind of just blew my mind.
But I feel like that on reality TV, it was like such a fight to like even show for a second I did stand up. Actually, it never even made it.
Yeah, yeah.
Girls' jobs are still like not taken seriously.
I mean, you can be like a really unsuccessful man and present successful.
If you talk loud and you're kind of scary, like, your stuff sounds really important. Which is what we have to learn from men. Just be like serious and loud sometimes when you talk about stuff.
I feel like the number one thing I get called is like from men is like you're kind of harsh. And I'm like.
Harsh.
Yeah, like, and I think they mean like to say that I'm like blunt. And I'm like, okay, but were you not thinking that too? And it's like, yeah, but and it's like, okay, well, I said it like you were also thinking it what I'm not allowed. Cause I'm a girl, like I'm not allowed to say it or I'm not allowed.
I feel like when men are harsh, people think it's funny. It's like, he's just, that's him. He's just straight up. He's calling him out.
He's just straight up. He calls it how he sees it. And but like if a woman does it, it's like, that was really mean. Like, I can't believe you said that.
Dez is like, I love how he carries himself. And I really try to like replicate, like I or ask him like, how would you go about the situation that I'm in?
And like, sometimes I can't pull it off because I'm not a six, four, good looking, gray haired, established man. But like, I'm trying. And it's interesting how he's like, you're allowed to say no to that. By the way, I had a little epiphany about saying no, which I'm still bad at. But um, I realized that saying no to things is actually the equivalent of the feeling of a friend cancelling plans, but like you get to do it.
So when you think of it that way, you're like, wait, I can get adrenaline in a happy way from saying no to all these things in a good way. Not like it's losing opportunities. It's more like me gaining time.
One time, this is like, this is like a couple of years ago, I had a, I have a female lawyer right now, but I had a male lawyer. And he was negotiating something for me and he called me and he said like what his plan of operations was going to be for this like one specific contract. And my heart sank. And I said, now, mind you, this is like a grown, grown man. Like this is someone's dad, probably almost someone's grandpa that I'm like on the phone with and I'm maybe like 25, 26. No, maybe I'm like 27, 28.
And he's like telling, he's like, so I'm gonna do this, this and this, and I'm gonna say this, this and this to them. And I go, and he says, I've done it before. I've had other clients. I know how to talk to these people. And I said, I totally trust you and I completely defer to your expertise. You're the attorney here, not me. I go, but I am just gonna point one thing out. Your other clients were men and I'm a woman. And if you go into this guns blazing for me, I'm gonna lose the deal. They're not, they're just not going to respond to you the way they would in the past. Where if you representing a man, the way they would represent, you're now representing me.
And he kind of like paused and was like, okay, I, I'm gonna take what you were saying kind of with a grain of salt. And then he did try and negotiate and it like wasn't working. And I ended up like switching and going with a female lawyer because I also just felt,
I don't know, I felt more comfortable with her, but that is an example that like, okay, even that isn't even playing field. I had to like premeditate and think like, okay, well, I can't say that because I'm a girl and they're gonna be like, okay, well then you're out. We don't care. We don't need you.
Well, she, your female lawyer has had to fight for herself to get where she is. So you know she'll know how to strategically fight for you because lawyers, they ask you like, how far should we push? How far do you feel comfortable? And that comfortability is something that you can speak with in a like-minded way. Because like, yeah, my female, are we red pilled saying female? My female.
I have a lawyer and she has a vagina.
Yeah, I got a, I got a vagina lawyer. Um, and she's like the most badass person. My lawyer. Do you know she's, she's like a head top, whatever, big wig, big dog. She's a partner. And she's PTA president.
Which when I heard that, I'm like, you're fucking sick, bro. Like, you're insane.
And mine comes on the screen and she always has like the perfect white collared shirt like popped. And she always looks gorgeous. Like she's always got like a stud and like a low butt and she's like if she pulls a pen from her bun, I'd believe it. Like, and she, they speak so eloquently and I'm just like obsessed with female lawyers.
Do you find on your Zooms occasionally, there's like men that talk for so long? Yeah, there's obviously chatty women, but like it's so constantly that's me and like my whole female team and then like one guy talking the entire time. And we're all just like texting each other like.
Well, you want to know what I always think of that? I always think of that TikTok sound where it's like, why are you talking to me like I'm new to the music industry? Like you're new to the music industry. I feel like it used to happen more in reality TV than like podcasting because like like Giggly Squad is like fun where I'd be like, why are you talking to me? Like I've never filmed a reality TV show. I remember this one specific instance and mind you, I'd been on TV for like five years at this point. And this guy came up to me and he was like, alright, so like this is how you film the show and like you're gonna want to do, and I go, uh, uh, I'm on a show, buddy. I go, I don't give a fuck what you're saying to me.
And also you're not good on the show. So I'm actually not gonna listen to you at all. Like, leave me alone, you freak. It was so, such a weird interaction. I was like, I, I literally said, I don't care what you're saying.
Like I'm not listening to you. I don't care. And I like turned around. I was like, this is weird and you're weird and don't ever tell me how to film a TV show ever again. Anyhow.

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.
I'm fired up in Italy too. I feel like I literally, my fuse is this short because I've been around my family and I can be myself.
When are you gonna go to Sicily?
I know.
Aren't you of Sicilian descent?
Every time I plan this trip, I'm always like, guys, let's like do something new. Let's see something else. Like, we've never experienced this. And my dad, and guys, and I want to. I want to go travel the world. I want to go to different places, experience different things. My dad won't let me.
I totally get that because my papa refuses to eat other food besides things that are made by my nana. And that's just Italian men. They know what they want and they're gonna get it.
I'm still contracted to my dad, so I have to listen to him. And also, like, I feel like you hit a point in your life. I would have thought that like when I hit this point, I'd like be married and have kids, but... I feel like you do hit a point in your life where your selflessness... How do I say this? Like, you have to be selfless in certain situations because your parents are getting older.
Wait, so you're saying you let them have the master?
Oh god.
No, like, we got to this new, the new hotel and it was like, they didn't have enough rooms. Like, it was like booked. Also, the hotel like doesn't have that many rooms. So it was like three tiers of rooms. And so it was like the best room, the middle room, and then the last room. And like, we all just like kind of looked at each other. And I was like, and they're like, okay, Paige gets the best room.
You were like, guys, I have E. coli.
I'm like, guys, I died for four days and planned this entire trip.
I died and then I was risen in the best room of the boutique hotel. Also, I kind of, in my head was like, did you leave hotels? Because there was too much chatter about you.
You know how you go on a vacation and I don't want this to sound like ungrateful, but you know you go on a vacation, you get home and you're like, I need a vacation from that vacation.
Yeah, well, especially like with full family.
Yeah, and it's like, my dad's like, breakfast at 9:30 and we gotta be back at the pool. And like, if you're not drinking and having a cocktail by 2, like, you're no fun. And so it's like, it's a lot. And then like I have to look-
But if you eat at the wrong time, you're ruining your-
Then you're not hungry and then I have to have a phenomenal outfit. And it's like, it's a lot. So, two years ago, I was like, I wanna do like a wind down. So I found this hotel and so like the last three days, we come to this hotel and we just literally chill.
No talking, no talky-talk.
No talking, just like calm energy. It's like so scenic here. You're right on the water. You can get into the ocean from the hotel rather than having to like go to a beach or like a beach club or whatever. So it's like just a very chill- actually, last year when I was here, Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington Whiteley were here. I don't think I ever told the story because I didn't wanna like blow up their spot, but whatever. And so like we're sitting, I'm sitting on like one of the lounge chairs and I watched this like blonde woman like walk down the stairs and I was like, that's like the prettiest woman I've ever seen in my life. And she had, there was like a little kid with her. And like as she got closer, I was like, oh my god, that's fucking Rosie Huntington Whiteley. Then-
That name is so classy.
And so then we go up and we're like sitting in this hot tub and like coming, walking towards us is Jason Statham.
Well, bald men famously love hot tubs.
Every hot tub has a bald man sitting in it. Just, I clocked it, it's true. Every vacation, there's at least one to two bald men in the hot tub.
But like I could tell that they're a private couple. Like you never see them in tabloids. They are very pri- they give Zendaya and Tom. So I could tell that because we were in the hot tub, he wasn't gonna get in the hot tub with his son. And so we were actually about to get out and so I said, oh, we're getting out, you can get in. And so then I hear him go, oi, Rose, they're getting out. And I was like, oh my god.
In it?
He's like, oi! And so then she comes walking towards with her daughter and the four of them get in the hot tub and like we got out. And it was, and I didn't say anything. I didn't say like huge fan or like, cause I didn't wanna like annoy them. Cause obviously they're so private and I didn't want them to feel like they couldn't like be out and open.
Especially cause you might see them again. So you don't wanna have like a, yeah.
But it was like such a cool moment. Cause what a couple to like see.
There's this creator, Kat Stickler, who I met, cause she came to one of my shows in Florida. Who posted like funniest things people have said to her. And she said stuff where they basically were like, oh my God, you're so much prettier in person. And like, and like, oh, who are you with? I won't tell anyone. Like I swear I won't tell anyone. And like, just what are the craziest things people say to you? Even though I feel like the Gigglers are like pretty iconic and, but like every now and then it's like people freeze and say crazy stuff.
You wanna know what I got a lot of? You're smaller in person.
Oh no!
You're so, oh my God, you're so much tinier. And not height. Like I, I felt like I knew what they were saying. Like, like, oh, you look smaller. And I was like, yeah, that was definitely like a southern not compliment at all. Like I know what you're saying. Like you think I look bigger on TV. I get it. Like, but I haven't gotten one in a, in a while. Like a weird one.
I do get a lot. Like, oh my God, you're like, really? You're pretty.
Like people are shocked. They're like, I'm shocked.
They think that I'm gonna turn and be like, huh! Well, I smiled and I'm like, huh! They're like, you don't look that much like a donkey as you did in your YouTube videos.
Yeah. Yeah, but I haven't gotten something weird. In a really long time.
My thing is, people spot Dez before me, cuz he's tall with like, white hair. It's like a lightning rod.
So people spot him easier. Also Dez is about to go to LA for like, his first little press tour. I'm so proud of him. But kudos to Dez because he's famous in a different country, and then to come here and start.
All over, essentially.
And then have people comment and be like, this guy's so funny, like, how is, how do I not know who he is? And it's like, cuz he hasn't been in America.
Yeah. I wonder what it's like to be famous in a different country?
Well, it definitely like, you have to change your mindset to be like, oh yeah, I'm this person when I'm here. I forgot.
Me and him kind of switch roles when we're in Ireland. It's kind of fun.
Wait, that's kind of nice, to be able to.
It's really nice.
I bet that's like, more of a bonding experience than you even realize, because it's.
It's so bonding.
You get to almost see how you're seen by the other person.
Yeah, and also like, the way he's protective of me sometimes in America. I could see me being like, are you comfortable going to this place?
I'm like that when we go to Ireland. And, but also then I get to be the, the free one, where I'm like, I'll go to the store, like, I'll do whatever I want. Run around being reckless.
I'll get into a fight in public because no one's putting it on the internet.
Do you know, that's my number one thing, that I'm like, I can never get into a fight in public ever again.
How many fights were you getting into in public?
No, it's not fights, but like, okay, like a perfect example is the other day, I'm walking up the stairs and this guy.
You had this waiting. You're like, if I had to give you an example. There was this one time, two minutes ago.
I'm walking up the stairs, okay? And it's not a big, it's not that massive, and this guy stops at the top of the stairs right in the middle. And he's like, on his phone, and I'm like, and I'm like, trying to get by, and I'm like, oh, excuse me. The man does not move, not even a finger, not an inch, not anything. And I go crazy to stand in the middle of the stairs. I just said it. I go crazy to stand in the middle of the stairs.
And he looked at me and I looked at him. And I walked away because I said, I can't get into a fight in public. Because if somebody saw this and whipped out their phone and said Paige is yelling at Italian men in Italy, it actually would make sense. But like.
Yeah, like if I saw you yelling at a man in Italy, I'd be like, what did he do?
Things like that, I'm like, what are you doing? Like, this is a community, like this is, this is, we're in public, you have to act like you've been outside before.
Also, people should be honored if you were to tell them off, like.
If I'm doing the oblidi- obliga-
Obligatory.
Obligatory, like, excuse me. Even if there's nowhere to go, you say, oh yeah, sorry, like, and you try and move a little, he had so much room. Yeah, I was like, and so I was just like crazy to stand in the middle of the stairs. Like, an insane move on your part. And I just walked away, but I thought, wow, that could have escalated really quickly and I need to think before I speak.
You might need a bodyguard.
Honestly, you never know, but.
To hold you back.
You literally told me back.
My flight from Toronto, I'm, I'm getting off the flight. Gorgeous female pilot. And then the, you know, there's always two pilots, but she was the head pilot. The male pilot goes, by the way, my wife's a big giggler, we went to your Tampa show. And I was like, it's so, I was like, were you scared? Like, men going to Giggles Squad shows, that's like, he's like, don't worry, I was in the back and I was like, okay. And then I turned to her and I was like, you have to watch my pilot bit on my Hulu special, you'll love it. So I'm now going up to female pilots, telling them to watch my special, but um, she was so iconic, like she was like gorgeous and like bossing his ass around and
also, when she was on the mic, like she like was giving us good instructions, I feel like sometimes the men just like, they do like, blah, blah, blah, blah, like she was like, I actually listened to her, like she cared.
Yeah, because women have to constantly be showing up. Men don't have to show, like if they don't want to show up, they don't have to, do you know what I mean?
Oh yeah, some man was bragging about like becoming, going back to like being a professional tennis player, professional golfer or something at like 42, he's like, with five kids, I'm a father and I'm deciding, I'm like, oh, well, I could never do that. I'm like, are you bragging or are you just being a deadbeat dad? I can't tell, this isn't a brag.
You have no idea how bad I want to be a dad. If I could be a dad, I would have done it five years ago.
I'm very much a husband. Like, there's two husbands in this relationship. We're in a gay marriage. Um, sometimes I feel like in public, I like to pretend that I'm like,
but it's not.
I'm not even blaming it on like my potential partner. I'm so type A and I'm so controlling. I don't know if anyone's pictured that up on about me.
Wait, can I ask you a question that everyone was wondering? I'm not saying you're not controlling because I've witnessed that you are.
Why are you not controlling of me at all?
Because you're my sweet little baby angel. Like, what, you do everything perfect. What am I gonna control?
You would never tell me, like, you never try to control me.
No, I think because everything you do, I'm like, yeah, and as she should, I approve. Because everything, any decision you've made, if I put myself in that position, I'm making the same decision. You want to know what it is? I think I respect you.
I respect you and I think you're smart. So I'm like,
I also do run a lot of decisions by you.
Y- yes and no, though. You'll run me through a scenario, but you know in the back of your head what you're doing.
Yeah, that's like when I get, when I talk to a psychic.
Oh, side note. Putting my whole family at risk, I woke up this morning and I'm at the point where I have to dermaplane my chin every two days.
I don't know how I got into dermaplaning, but like, that's where we're at. I need a laser it, but like, whatever.
Can I say something really vulnerable?
I got laser hair removal on my face. I'm not dermaplaning, I'm just taking a fucking razor to it, like, things that I have. Like I'm taking a regular razor that I shave my legs with and like if I have a hair, I'm using that and I'm just good.
So you think that's like, like it's not that different, just like
Right.
Three lasers versus, wait, razors versus, sorry, razor is hard for me to say. Three razors versus one razor.
Yeah, but I feel like we came up with dermaplaning because it's more feminine when really it's
Do you put shaving cream on your face?
No, no, no. But like I'm usually oiled up anyway. So I don't even need it.
You're slippery. You're a little seal.
But like
My papa used to, you put on a shaving oil and shave his face and I would stand next to him and I would put on my face and use a toothbrush and pretend I was shaving. I was always, I was always a dad at heart.
Well, the thing I always say to like certain, like men sometimes is, hey, anywhere you grow hair, so do I. 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. Hers gives you access to prescription hair regrowth treatment personalized to you and delivered right to your door.

For millions of people, it's not just anxiety, that's OCD. And most of them have no idea.

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.

Can I say something really vulnerable? So I hadn't seen Do's in a while. So I want, I was excited and I was like, I'm gonna do something crazy for him. I'm gonna shave my whole body.
Eyebrows down.
Eyebrows down. I was like, let's give him a little present.
We're going shaving, whatever. I'm like, I shaved.
Get in losers, we're going shaving.
Three hours later, I got out of the shower, shiny as can be, like a, like a baby dolphin. And I was like, you're killing a queen. He basically was like, you missed a spot. And I was like, where?
Where?
I had the longest black hair just coming out of my nipple.
I feel like people aren't out here talking.
No one's talking. I had three, actually three, just like.
Dude, I'm like, three, like, I'm, I'm hitting it with a, with a razor at least once a week.
No, well, I normally kind of would, but like, you forget, and like, it was literally nothing on my body, but like, two or three black hairs on top of my nipples.
Okay, I did an ad for the Braun laser, like, was that, that's like, almost two years ago.
Genuinely the best fucking laser, I still use it. And I'll take it to my nipples.
Okay, that makes me worry the sensitivities.
No, you know, I'm telling you, the Braun at-home laser does not hurt at all. And one thing that the Braun team told me, this is not sponsored, it was previously, but not now,
is if you're getting a laser and they're like, it's, like, you have to wear goggles with hours, they're scamming you. Because it's, everyone that's selling these at-home lasers, they're the, all the same thing. Because it has to be like FDA approved. So there's really not one that's like, that much better than another one. And the Braun one, I'm telling you, it does not hurt. It, like, every couple of weeks, I'll like, do it, or whatever, I'm not, I don't like, do it consistently. But I'm, I'll take it to my nipples.
No one talks about nipple hairs. They're real, they find their way out. They're kind of cute. Honestly, it's just minor, like, the one that was out, it was dark, it was like, black.
Here's the thing, like, I know for a fact, some of my girlfriends don't have them. Like, Stephanie, blonde hair, blue eyes, barely has a pub.
Like, for example, Dez doesn't have them.
Dez has three blonde chest hairs.
Like, I feel like I have more hair like on the back of my neck going into my back than Joe.
No, like, I'm a hairy girl.
I'm a hairy girl. I've just, I've just lasered the majority of it.
But Paige, I was dermaplaning this morning and I do think it was about the time where I probably should get a new dermaplaner, but you know, I'm not good at that. And something happened and it just like popped. It's cheap. It's plastic with like a blade. It popped and everything went all over the place. And I found like the dermaplaner on the floor. Could not find the little razor.
Razor part.
So then I'm like, okay, we have to call 911. There's a razor on the loose. So I was like, Dez, do not go in the bathroom.
Butter gets that in her mouth?
Butter doesn't really go in the bathroom. She's just, she's sleeping. But I was like, this is code red. Like someone's gonna lose a foot. So I'm, but then I'm like looking for it and I'm scared. I'm gonna like put my hand down and like get fucking guillotined. So for a full hour, I was looking for the razor. It was just like under the rug.
I can't believe the one spot you missed was your nipple.
She has made character energy.
Do you shave like in your asshole?
I try.
Yeah. Okay, same.
Like, it's not done well. Like, no one's like, and that was precise. It's like, I, I know when I've tried hard enough. And I think Dez appreciates it. He's like, she put in effort.
I feel like I'm, like if I'm on the ground in the shower, I'm like, I've done my job. Like, if I'm in a full squat down.
Or the second I cut myself, which I do, I'm like, and we're good. We've, we've, we're bleeding. We've tried hard enough. Also, like not to brag, I have a fat ass. Like, there's depth. Like, you have to go far to reach the butthole.
You have to pull up.
You, I have to unlock things. Like, there's layers.
Get it in.
You just scoop it up?
You have to pull it in all different directions.
I think about when I'm alone and I'm like, someone's gotta talk about this. I've been thinking about nipple hairs for months, so I'm so happy you brought this up.
Thank you, but right under my butt, I'm actually known to have like a tuft of hair, cuz like, when you're shaving your bikini lines, you shave that, then you shave your butthole, but you don't shave right, right below your butt.
I can't believe you just used the phrase "tuft of hair."
No, cuz it's a tuft. It's two tufts. I have two tufts, and it's, I know it's tufts because every now and then I'll find the spot, and you, when you look at your razor and you're like, "How is it?"
Nope, I actually don't ever experience that though, because I shave my legs every day.
But I also think cuz I have a big butt, it's actually kind of hard to get below it sometimes.
Yeah, I don't have that problem.
Or I could just be like using that as an excuse and I'm just fucking lazy.
I would, not in like a weird way, I would like to see
your shower routine. Like, I'd like to watch your shower.
I want Dez to shave that for me. Like, I've, I haven't been in the right situation, but like, I think I'm just gonna be like, babe, could you get this? I'm just gonna lean over, like my spray tan girl, like, I'm just gonna lean over and you get it, cuz also, sometimes I don't do the right direction.
I wanna see what your routine is, what you start with, what you're like, how long you're doing certain things.
Can I tell you something? I do, I love a shower. I love a shower. I love a shampoo.
Now, I would like to say that I think that you're one of, you're a really good example of someone that washes their hair a lot and has amazing hair. And I feel like the not washing your hair sometimes is like a myth. Because you're someone that showers every single night and you wash your hair and you have phenomenal hair.
Thank you. Thank you. Cause I've dealt with a lot of cyberbullying and you always speak up for me and I appreciate that.
You have some of the thickest, healthiest hair I've ever touched.
I do also wanna say, there are some new gigglers who came on because of Smilegate, um, or the Mass- the Massacre.
Well, welcome to nipple hair.
But I was just thinking how they show up and we've been just talking about shitting like two episodes straight.
Okay, well, we're, we talk about what's going on in our lives.
True. Also, someone told me they took like a food panel test. So it's like, have you done it? Cause I Googled it and they were like, this is not FDA approved and like, it's normal to have different reactions to different foods.
No, but one of my girlfriends, I think, has done it and she did like a, like one of the allergy tests along with it and I feel like it did help her.
Okay, I might do it, but like, there's no, it's not proven in any way and I don't wanna like, cut something I don't have to. Cause I really like to have diversity in my food.
Have you ever done an allergy test?
Yeah, but it's like, everyone's a little allergic to grass. Cool. Glad I paid fifteen hundred dollars for that.
Wait, are they?
Yeah, everyone's like, okay, like, like, maybe you shouldn't rub grass all over your knees.
And like, itches a little. Yeah, it's itchy when you roll around in grass.
No, it, I'm thirty-four. I'm not gonna, so I won't wrestle someone in the grass. Got it.
If you do the food sensitivity, I would like to do it too, because I feel like it's, is it one of those things that you have to go in for? Or is it one of like a spit?
Oh. Oh. Well, I think there are other ones, but I wanna do like, whatever's most invasive.
Like, let's make it accurate. We know we're getting older, cause I'm like, can we just go to the doctor all the time? I love a doctor, I love a summer.
No, I have a lot of doctor's appointments that I'm making when I get home. Top of the list, gang.
Topless gang and then I do feel like I need to go to some type of gastrointestinal.
Wait, can I show you this thing on the, my back?
Sure.
Can you see it?
Is that a pimple? Yeah, I could get that. Is it a pimple, like a cyst?
I don't know, but I was like, my grandpa had it, it's fine. And my mom's like, your grandpa has skin cancer.
We're just like growing horns. You know, something's happening to us this summer. Someone put a spell on us.
Other things happening to me, I'd rather be these things. Like, there's so many worse things that could happen to you.
A hundred percent. There's girls our ages going through perimenopause.
Why would you, why would you put them to the universe?
Because I just wanna, I just wanna.
Raise awareness?
Yeah, raise awareness for them and know that we stand with you and we're here for you.
Actually, what's his name? Who's the like Sirius XM radio guy? Howard Stern. His wife Beth Stern posted a photo of her in a bikini with a sticker and it's like an estrogen sticker for menopause that the cool girls are wearing. And now people are using stickers for like vitamins and stuff. Like you put a sticker on all day and it like gives you stuff, but I'm a sweater, so. Yeah, there's, there's like a company that's doing like, use all your vitamins with stickers.
Yeah, I did see like people doing things where it was like you can inject estrogen into like your vagina and like different stuff. One of the things that I did see though was that like
they're saying if you have too much estrogen, like it could potentially cause cancer, but like everything causes cancer these days.
Well, also that brings me to the peptide discussion where like doctors are like, hey, when we first started peptides, there was some stuff that's working, obviously GLP-1s and stuff. She's like, now you guys are ordering from random websites.
Yeah, I'm a little freaked out by the peptides.
And they're like, and it's not studied. Like, you could be, yeah, your skin looks good, but you also could be growing a tumor from it. One thing we've learned from our mistakes, our mistakes, is you don't need to always inject or add things to your natural body. Like sometimes, what, let's do a Kim Desorbo for a second.
Be what God wants you to be.
Do you need it? No.
Do you need it?
I'm so down for people taking GLP, like, do whatever you want, truly, I don't give a fuck. But the moment that someone says like, it's, we don't, we didn't test it. Like, we don't know what could happen. And people are like, cool, I'll inject it. That scares the shit out of me. I think that's insane.
Yeah, cuz at the moment, you're just like, yeah, let's have fun. And then you could die. We, when did we become Italian moms? You're gonna die.
This is my mom, like, right when I got into high school. How do you know your body won't react differently to a drug as somebody else's? This is why you can't smoke weed. And I was like, I feel like I can.
My mom commented on our video of me with the Botox saying, don't do drugs. Also, you know what it feels for my mom and grandma who've never touched a needle to look at me like, you fucking crazy bitch. This is, this is why, like, just listen to genetics.
No, and also, like, Botox helps so many girls. Like, there are so many medical things that like,
Well, it helps with sweat. It's really helped me with sweat. It helps people with migraines.
And I'm not anti-Botox at all. Like, I'm definitely gonna do it again at some point. It's just, I can't, I'm in shock.
Just like, we're in a weird cycle right now. Like, just wait for the like, the bad juju to go away.
I need a woman in STEM, particularly like, one of the girlies that does accounting. What are the fucking chances? That me and you both?
Out of whatever, four times we've done it total?
My girlfriends have gotten Botox since we were like 26. And they're like, I've never had something like this happen that happened to you and Hannah. Like, that's insane. And I'm like, no, really? What is the math on that?
I have a photo shoot tomorrow, which is why I got a spray tan. And it's too dark. Um, we'll deal with that later. What should I do? Should I put, like, what do you do when you're spraying? Yeah.
When did you, when did you get it?
Last night.
When did you shower?
This morning.
Oh, you're only one shower in. Did you use soap?
Oh, okay, so you're gonna be fine. Just, once you use soap, you're good.
So I have a photo shoot with Lululemon tomorrow, and like, I'm tight with the girls there, so like, there's no, they know what's going on, but I was like, we're doing editorial? We're doing dramatics, we're doing...
How are you gonna do it?
Well, I can't go like this.
Imagine every Lululemon store, it's just this.
So pray for me.
I, I will be.
A little, a little open, what's your, wait, what's your advice for like, a little open mouth?
That's good, yeah. I don't ever like it to be like, um, like American Girl doll, when it's just like, you can see people's like, two front teeth. I feel like you have to give a little bottom teeth, too.
Yeah. Yeah, that's really good. You're really good at it.
Well, cuz I have no, I have just cheekbones and a fucking lip right now, that's all I have left.
But basically, when I smile, it makes it bad. So I'm doing like, a serious Lululemon shoot tomorrow.
Yeah, that's like, a stern.
Stern.
Stern Lululemon, yeah.
Um, so pray for me. Anyway, guys, thank you for giggling with us, we love you so, so much, and have an amazing week.
Thank you.
Bye.
