Sup, Gigglers?
Jerry, fix the Wi-Fi. Manifest that shit. We can't be managed.
I mean, the day just got away from me.
What up, my ganashi gigglers?
What's a ganashi?
It's a kind of dessert.
Ganache?
You never said, can I have a ganache?
And it's a topping. It's not an actual, like, ganache is like a topping.
They're like, this is a Wendy's. Please leave.
So, do you have a ganache? Actually, one time I went on vacation with my mom and it was like, you could order pancakes with like fruit compote. And I pronounced it like compote or something.
I think if you say anything confidently, like, and if people know what you meant, that's what language is. And that's...
That's how the men have come so far. They say crazy shit. They just say it sternly.
With a period. If you say anything with a period, it means like it's fact. That's why they don't want me on a microphone. That's why they don't want us on microphones, because suddenly we're loud. We're taking up space. Anyway, um, I was in your hometown.
Yeah.
All weekend in Albany.
You just really saw the sights.
I was at the True by Hilton, across the street from Maggie McFly's and the mall.
Not a great area, but...
I wouldn't say it's like scenic route by any means. And I also would say that I do...
I wouldn't say you were hit in the face with culture. But...
But the highlight was, well, Paige is like, I'm gonna come to your show on Thursday. And, or Friday.
Thursday.
Thursday. And I was like, okay. And you're, it's in a mall. Because guys, I'm working out material.
It's in a mall.
I'll do it anywhere. It's in a mall.
Which used to be the greatest mall ever.
Honestly, like, rest in peace to malls.
It's such a sad mall.
That you like, was that like where you first got fingered in a mall?
Is that the first place I got fingered?
No, no, it wasn't. It wasn't.
It's just like the second place I got fingered.
I have been fingered in that movie theater, for sure. Are you kidding?
Wait, how do, how were guys even supposed to finger you in those theaters? Like, that's insane. I feel like I had the worst experiences with guys in theaters.
Did I unzip my jeans like a freak?
I think like we thought they were fingering us, but they weren't. But we were like, I just got fingered.
I remember the first time I got fingered. It was in a, I was in a basement.
Yeah, I was on a couch.
And can I tell you something? I like didn't know to shave. Until like three days later and one of my girlfriends was like, well, you have to shave. And I was like, wait, what? And imagine, and I think about it, actually, an odd amount of times.
Sorry.
Throughout my adult life where I'm like, what if I never shaved?
You're just representing the eighties. Like, that shit was cool. Yeah. Do you know, like, men who grew up in the eighties, a lot of them like bushes, because that's the porn they saw.
Right.
And they think it's weird when girls are too shaven.
That makes my first time fingering story even ten times grosser than like a ninth grader getting fingered.
His name was Gary. I know.
If you guys don't know, every man-
My dad's name is Gary.
And your brother's name is Gary. Wait, you know what I didn't realize? Both their brother and dad have the same name.
But it, mine is Dan and Daniel.
We have so much material for this week.
You guys, I just dropped a bomb on the Giggles Squad pod. I know you're gonna look at us differently now. Wait, but I, I love how your parents call him, they call him Big Gary or Little?
Big Gary and Little Gary.
That's cute.
Yeah, because Gary's, my brother's not an actual, like, June, like, they don't have the same middle name.
I love how your dad was like, he doesn't get the full name. He doesn't get a numerical thing next to his name.
But my parents came to Hannah's.
Oh, yeah. You just, you don't communicate.
No, I don't.
You're a literal man. You text me, I'll see you at the show tonight. I have no idea how you're getting there. I'm like, you're in New York City. What are you talking about? I show up at the mall, she's standing right outside in the mall.
Hello.
With her full family.
Hi.
A hundred Italians.
And we're here.
She doesn't realize that stand-up comedy in the clubs, it's not as glamorous as theater life. And that's all Paige knows.
All I know is theater.
All she knows is sold-out theaters. So I get her to the back and it's literally the tiniest green room with one frat leather couch.
Yeah. A casting couch.
A true casting couch. And Kim like sits down and kind of like. And she brought us food.
She did. She brought, okay Hannah was with Ally Colbert and my mom.
Who's not Italian, so this was hilarious.
No, but I feel like she has the like.
She's a New Yorker.
Yeah. My mom made fritzels, which are like these hard like roll, they almost look like bagels, but they're not bagels.
They're like massive bagels with every Italian thing you could put on it. You have olives, you have pepperoni, you have all kinds of pepperoni, you have the meats, you have the banana peppers. I don't know.
Yeah, all the stuff.
It's basically like.
It's basically a sandwich on a.
It's a Subway sandwich for the mafia. That's what it is.
That's what it is.
And so she's got the food. Your dad is pushing the food on us.
Pushing it hard.
He's like, Ally, you're not gonna have a salami.
Everyone's hungry. Like imagine stuffing your face before you go out on stage. It's like the craziest concept.
If I deep-throated a salami before getting on stage, like it would be, I'd be on TMZ for just like imploding.
One time I was at a cheerleading competition and I got in trouble because my mom gave me nachos before I was about to compete.
And she's probably gonna be hungry.
She's hungry.
They were like, she's gonna throw up on the mat.
All she had today was breakfast and lunch and a snack. She's starving. That's literally what I do.
No, but okay, the funniest part about it was like Ally, if you don't know Ally, you have to go follow her on Instagram and like watch her videos. She's very straightforward, says whatever she's like thinking, but hilarious.
And she was saying the most crude, crazy things to my parents.
Which, by the way, I feel like when I'm in front of your parents, I try to behave a little. I try to drop less F bombs.
You do.
I don't want them going home and being like, that Hannah is not good for our daughter. Like, I wanna, I wanna be represent- Ally's-
Saying whatever.
She, people are catching strays. She's being hilarious, like doing full stand up.
She leaves the room for a minute, thirty seconds. My dad turns and goes, she's cute as a button.
She's adorable. And I looked, I actually got jealous. I was like, fuck, I could have been doing my best bits too, but I thought we were being appropriate in front of the family. And she goes rogue and he's like, she's cute as a button. I'm like, Gary.
Then she does like a lesbian joke on stage and shouts out my dad.
So then I was like, what is going on? Like, like he's, they're like best friends now, buddies.
They're, so anyway, I, I was a little jealous, right? But I was like, it's okay, like, it's fine.
That's how I'd feel if your dad like laughed at someone else's joke.
Yeah, like imagine I bring a new friend and my dad's obsessed with her and you're sitting there and you were like, I thought I was blood related to you.
No.
So, and also I was like, you wouldn't even have met her if it wasn't for me. I brought her here. She's my friend. Gary.
Yeah, Gary.
So, and Kim, innocent throughout the whole thing. And Kim's just enjoying life, making sure I'm okay. You guys, shout out Albany, sold out, five shows, let's go.
No, Albany was a crowd.
You guys couldn't sit, so you guys stood in the back and watched my whole show and it was really cute.
And I laughed so hard.
And I called you up at the end and that was really fun.
That was really fun.
Speaking of not fun, the next day Paige is like, where I'm gonna pick you up and I'm gonna take you to my, my parents' house. Which actually felt so high school.
It felt so high school. Like my mom said, you can come over if you wanna come over. We'll pick you up.
Oh my god, perfect. So we, we get there.
It felt like you came home off the bus, you know? Like, my mom said you can come home off the bus.
I kinda felt like, like you made friends with public school kids and you were like, can I show you what it's like?
Like we got out of the car and you were like, take your shoes off. Just take your shoes off.
These are cloth napkins. Have you ever, have you guys ever seen them?
So we walk in and Kim just spoils us.
Made a full chicken parm lunch.
I mean, there were six courses.
Six and then it was just.
And it was laid out.
This is just the lunch.
And Ally is just flabbergasted. She's never had this kind of treatment. So we were gossiping, we're eating all the food. And then I was like, can we see Laura Daphne?
And you were like, yes, she's upstairs. Let's see what she's doing. And I'm like, Ally's like, I'm not really a cat person. I'm like, Ally. You're gonna fucking love this cat.
Ally's not really a cat person.
I was like, you're gonna love this cat. Also, I'm gonna convert you to a cat person. Like, you're gonna love this cat. Daphne, similar to Gary. Obsessed with Ally.
Obsessed.
Like Ally.
Walking her back against Ally's back, like just like looking at her. Wanted little to nothing to do with you.
I would say she actually disliked me. And I was like, Daphne, you wouldn't even fucking be here for it was. But then like part of me loved it. I was like, I love that she doesn't like me. Cause then I like wanna earn her affection.
Well, Daphne is extremely vain. And superficial.
She didn't like my outfit.
So she was like, that's how you come to my home?
Yeah. Cause normally I would say I give good energy, but I now realize I think she was disgusted by my jeans that I haven't washed for two weeks and she could smell it. See, dogs love it. Dogs, they're up my canal. They go, this girl, this girl's peanut butter buzzy.
Ew, have you showered? She's like, I shit in a box and I'm cleaner.
So anyway.
She's like, mommy, brush me.
She's like, do you want my mommy to brush your hair?
It was, it's just so funny when pets like clearly prefer someone. And so that was insulting. And again, I was like, Ally, like you're not even, you shouldn't even be here. Like I invited you. And you're taking all the attention and gravitas.
You just wanted to use the word gravitas.
As I was saying it, I was like, I don't know if this is, if this is gonna work. But um, no, we love Ally so much. And I'm, I'm also one of those people. Not to brag. I want other people to have fun.
I'll take the hit. I'll take the hit. I want.
I actually do get obsessed with, to the point that it gives me social anxiety. Like I can't enjoy myself if I think someone is not having fun.
Really?
Yeah, like if I
Like in your circle?
If I told her, hey, we're going to lunch and then I'm noticing her not having a good time, like I'm I'm stressed.
I thought you meant just like random people. I'm like, how do you get anything done during the day? Like you're just worrying about if everyone's having a good time?
If I throw a party, the whole time I'm stressed. That's like why weddings are stressful. Cause it's like everyone like canceled their plans to come to your wedding. It better be fucking fun.
When's the last time you threw a party?
My Netflix party, which honestly?
Lit.
Lit. Cause I put my heart and soul into that. I had chicken fingers.
I still think about that picture of me where I'm like, huh.
Well, you didn't like your shorts.
I gotta get out.
You didn't like your shorts.
Yeah, I didn't like my outfit.
And you couldn't handle it.
I couldn't take it.
You were just hiding behind my Nana for like thirty minutes.
No, I held Nana's hand.
And my Nana was like, you're so pretty, just like me. I love that she's friends with you.
No, Nana is my Nana.
Like, I feel like you guys almost are too alike where you're like, this is weird.
It's too powerful.
It's giving like Freaky Friday. Like you're like, did I sneeze?
Am I Nana?
Do you think I'm little Gary?
Kind of. You kind of are like my older brother.
Yeah, I was trying to explain to Ally, who's a lesbian, our relationship. And she was, we left the house and she's like, she's your partner.
Yeah, no, we're partners.
Cause she was like.
No, we're more than friends. Like, like, okay, like if we were to be with another friend duo, I'd be like, cute. That's adorable.
We would leave and be like, they think they're fun.
Yeah, like, that's so sweet of you guys to like be friends, but like, we're life partners.
Well, Ally was like, I loved hanging out with you guys because I love being like a third wheel. And I'm like, what do you mean? She's like, I love hanging out with couples. And I'm like, what do you mean? And she's like, you guys will talk with your eyes all the time? Like you're just.
And then Ally kept telling me like really good gossip.
And at one point she stops and she's like, are you gonna tell Paige all of this? And I was like, yeah. And she paused for a second and I was like, first of all, Paige doesn't know all these niche people we're talking. Second of all, Paige doesn't remember anything.
Anything.
Therefore Paige has her own like shit going on.
I got my own problems.
She's fine, but yes, I will tell her.
No, that's why it's like gossiping. If you're gonna gossip with one of us, you're gossiping with both of us, but it's a safe space.
Yes.
Like we share the same ideas, so it's not, it's not like, oh my god, don't tell anyone, oh, she told one friend and it was Paige. It's like, no, you were telling me when you told Hannah.
A hundred percent.
And people need to realize that.
Yeah, so she was like, you have a full partner. And I was like, I know. And I was like, I am the man one. And she was like, that typically happens in a lesbian relationship. Sometimes one of them wears the pants more. And so, yeah, and okay, this is the funniest part, is Ally, um, in front of Paige's parents who she just met.
Jokingly turns to the parents and goes, Paige and I have to tell you something about our relationship.
Imagine, I just come home and I'm like, guys, I'm a lesbian and this is my girlfriend. I don't even drop the lesbian part first. I'm just like, and this is my girlfriend?
This Ally's so cute too, but honestly, I feel like you'd be with a blonde. That's what I see for you. Or for us in our throuple.
Yeah, I was just gonna say.
I feel like you wouldn't want a girl who's like, looks similar to you at all.
I would either want a girl who was like really feminine and like that I could share stuff with, but I'm like, that's a friend.
Yeah, or you just want a girl, Kim, stop listening, you just want a girl with like huge boobs so you could like see what it's like. And then decide if you want a boob job or not.
Like, I mean, you put my top on and see like if it looks good.
I don't know, but like it.
Can you turn around? Can you turn around? Can you, can you move your arms in it? I don't know.
Hug yourself. Does it fit? If you hug yourself, does it still feel good?
When I was little, that was all my mom would say when I would, we would like be in the mall, try on clothes on. Hug yourself. Do you still have room?
That means it's comfortable. Wait, I've never heard that before.
Yeah, oh my god. So you're just like in the dressing room. You're just like, I'm like, yeah, I still have room.
Wait, the dressing room is so traumatizing, especially at Aritzia where there's no mirrors.
Actually, I couldn't tell you the last time I went into a dressing room and I tried something on. And the Aritzia one, I've been to one time and I never went back because I was like, that's crazy. I'm not walking out.
It seemed like a
People's boyfriends are there.
No, it was like a harassment ritual. Wait, what is, what's the word? It was an embarrassment ritual?
It was a Humiliation ritual. No, it is. It literally is. Like you walk out and everyone goes, don't wa- don't buy that.
I just would never. I ju- I would never.
Oh, that's interesting. Oh, no, I'm turn- ah, like that's what I'm getting from everyone.
It's like this is, I'm not trying on my wedding dress. Like, I don't need to stand on a pedestal in front of like, in a circle.
This isn't a town hall meeting.
When I try something on, I don't need a group, like forum.
Like, well, there was definitely a boardroom meeting specifically about the dressing rooms of Aritzia. And what man was like, let's put it in the middle.
So what they say is that it helps sell stuff because you have to walk out. And then a salesperson has to say, I like it on you.
I, I, I'd like to see the numbers on it because I wouldn't walk out.
That's what I did. I, I thought that there was something defunct in my room. And I was like, oh, I've, I got a room that
Had no mirror.
The mirror fell off or something. And then I like walk outside and
No, I think it's so inappropriate.
The vulnerability that you have to be when you try on something. Also, I'm not wearing a matching outfit. I don't have makeup on. I already feel like a rat. Just like a hairless small rat.
I don't try things on. I ordered online and then I tried on the comfort of my home and then I return it like a normal person.
I order online, I forget to return it like a normal person.
No, that's so you.
By the way, whenever we talk about when we're on our period, any other gigglers that are on their period message me. And they, they said there's a conspiracy theory that all the gigglers are synced up.
Okay, well, could someone sync up with me? Because obviously like the month I'm ready to freeze my eggs, my period is like, actually, we don't want to come.
Did your period come?
No, I haven't gotten it in two months.
But you're not pregnant?
I'm stressed out.
You know, I'm stressed out. So now I'm like.
Where is the blood going?
I think my body is so sensitive that it's like, oh, we know we're supposed to do something and like, my body is so me, you know, it's like, oh, you want us to come?
That's hilarious. You're like, I, you have one job.
No, literally have one job.
One job, I'm sorry.
And so I'm just waiting for it.
Periods are so funny because you wanna get it so bad. And then when you get it, you hate it so much.
And that's called the life of a woman.
Anywho.
Forever twenty one, what's going on?
I know, how sad.
I mean, all their clothes is in landfills, but what, are they actually bankrupt or they're just like announcing bankruptcy?
I think they're just like closing all the stores.
Like period?
I think they're done, yeah.
But like keeping it online?
I don't think so. I think dumb dumb.
Maybe they should charge more than two dollars for jeans.
You wanna know what it is? I think with like these stores, the people that we were in our thirties now and they didn't grow with us.
Wait, you're, you could be so right.
Like, that's what I think about a lot of like stores that close, like it.
Also, I feel like Gen Z's have opinions on, like, strong opinions on fast fashion. But I don't know.
And I don't think they're shopping the way like we were in store.
And we only had Forever twenty one.
Like Abercrombie hadn't like done their.
Well, it was like the first place we could afford and you could just like go off at Forever twenty one. Um, but then now there's so many fast fashion places, like I guess like Shein and all them have just like.
Yeah, I mean, you could, there wasn't like Amazon Prime when we went to, I remember I would hit Forever twenty one. And BB. And those are my, and Guess. And that was like my summer wardrobe.
Do you know who loves BB?
Who?
My Nana.
She's obsessed with BB.
No, I loved BB so much. I literally, this is how much I loved it, being in like high school, I was too young to work there and all I wanted to do was work there. I was like, Mom, I could get a discount. She was like, you're fourteen. It's like I get a discount, I go work at the cash register and she's like, you can't count change.
Did you ever just for fun walk into Hot Topic?
Yeah, like and Spencer's.
Just to be like, do I want to have a goth day? And then you're like, wait, I'm scared.
No, my mom would have screamed at me.
Oh, my God, mall.
That's the only store that survived in Albany in the mall was like Spencer's. I'm like, how?
I'm not, no, that's crazy. I'm not trying to be like, I'm not like a guy that.
Wait, do you see my eye twitching? I've had an eye twitch for three days. And you know what that means?
I love that you do because normally you blame it on Tor and now you can just blame it on yourself.
I have an eye twitch, which means a man is about to die soon.
Oh, no, it's that time of year. I have to sacrifice a man. No, truly, I've had this eye twitch for like four days.
Cause you also think everyone's like staring at it.
I don't even think that everyone's staring at it. I'm just like, what?
Is it your bigger eye or your smaller eye? It's your bigger eye.
How?
Why did I even ask?
Fucked up question.
I don't know. Check your cornea.
No, it's just like I think stress.
I personally feel like spring is the superior season, especially for style. I feel like summer, I'm hot. I don't want to wear any clothes. Yeah, winter, I'm wearing too many clothes.
It's too much.
Spring is the perfect amount of clothes and that's why we're excited to get into this special segment presented by Nordstrom and Acast Creative. It's your go-to destination for spring as you look to add the latest trends to your wardrobe this season. But when you know from Paige, what trends from Nordstrom are people getting?
Here's the other thing about spring that I just want to say.
It's like a fresh start.
So like if you're like, oh, I'm gonna revamp my entire.
Personality.
Yeah, you're gonna just change your name, change your job, also change all of your clothes.
Some of my favorite spring trends, I'm loving a trench, loving a trench coat, love a cropped trench coat, like a to the floor trench coat. Love a trench coat as a dress with some knee-high thigh-high boots.
And like a belt.
Slouchy belts are in and like big slouchy bags. I love that big bags are back in because it's like, I wasn't fitting anything before. So like a big bag can really like change your whole outfit.
I'm also loving Kendrick Lamar's jeans.
And those are in style, seventies-inspired denim, full skirts.
And Nordstrom has everything. They have Mango, they have Skims, Levi's, Free People, Madewell, Veronica Beard. Veronica Beard has such good coats right now, too. Like, do yourself a favor, get a nice spring jacket.
Yeah, just get one.
Nothing says spring like, this is my spring jacket.
Yes, and it adds to the outfit. I hate when I put on a jacket that just ruins everything that I created.
The best thing about spring, too, is you know what you're buying for spring. You can also repurpose in the summer and the fall.
Yeah, I also used to live by a Nordstrom, and what people don't know about it is they have really good, like, beauty. They have skincare, eye patches, tools, moisturizers, serum. So they have, like, fun, extra stuff, too. And there's thousands of options under a hundred dollars, so it's affordable and trendy.
Also, spring is you're figuring out what your summer plans are. You're going on, like, a little weekend away. Nordstrom really is great for packing. I've become such a good packer since tour.
Yeah, you have.
Like, I'm, I'm in there with my packing cubes.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. See, I'm panic packing. Nordstrom makes it easy to get what you need within your daily routine through fast delivery, risk-free shopping, and the option to return. So I love Nordstrom for last-minute things that I need on a trip.
You can get vacation-ready with Nordstrom with a ton of styles and travel essentials, all for under a hundred dollars.
They have free store pickups. You buy online, pick up today, or pick up tomorrow for a wider selection. Choose curbside, we love that. At Nordstrom stores or in-store, at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rec, both options are quick and convenient.
And one of my favorite things about Nordstrom is you can get free standard shipping all the time, plus a two-day and next-day option. I'm, I'm in there with the next-day option. Plus, it's risk-free shopping with free returns in-store or by mail.
I get so much stuff online that takes forever to get there. I forget why I bought it, and then it doesn't fit me, and then I'm too lazy to return it, because you have to pay money for it. Nordstrom makes it so easy in and out.
Thank you for listening to this segment brought to you in partnership with Nordstrom and Acast Creative.

You know the ones suspiciously cheerful about it. And I've come around, they're right. Running is freeing, it's cathartic, it surprises you with something good every time.

Back to me.
I love saying that. Wait, I went to the gyno for the first time in like a long time.
To the point, you guys, I never lie.
Not good.
I never lie. They go, when was the last time you went to the gynecologist? And I just said, three years ago.
Lied.
Even longer?
I don't even think, I don't think I've been, like, I don't have good insurance. And I like use that.
You just like haven't been going, you never get a UTI?
No, like I have a very healthy pH balance of my pussy.
I'm so proud of you.
Also, I feel like when your pussy's this little, you don't have to get it checked up, because it's like, not even there.
Nothing can even go in there.
It's literally not even there. You can't even find it.
See, I'm like a hypochondriac, like I'm, they're like, you, you don't need to get a pap smear again. I'm like, just check it again?
No, my mom literally had like an intervention. She was like, now you're back from tour. You need to schedule a pap smear.
And then I also have this huge, like, pat fat globule, lipoma. All the gigglers were messaging me about lipomas. I'm like,
What were they saying?
Is this your thirties?
Wait, what were they saying about your lipoma?
One girl was like, make sure you use a good surgeon. One other girl was like, it's definitely gonna take a consultation first. They would just like start cutting you open. And I was like, but I'm literally busy. I don't have time for a consult. But um, I got a pap. It was quick.
Was it?
I don't, I remember like it being a little more like,
Well, because you were younger and you were more nervous. Now you're like, this is, this isn't gonna take me out.
Is it even in?
It's gonna take a lot more to shoot me down today. Yeah. A cold speculum, I welcome it now.
Being a girl is crazy, though.
Crazy.
Like, they literally just shove something in you and I was like, I'm not, I wasn't in the mood for it.
Is that like, it's 2025 and they're still, they're, like, they still crank it, you know?
Like you would think the technology.
No, it looks like a medieval torture device.
It's one of the craziest things ever. And they're like, oh, hey, no problem. We're just gonna stuff this up you.
A stainless steel duck beak.
No lube.
None at all. And then they're just like, this won't, this won't hurt.
Like, that's crazy.
So how often do you do that?
Well, you go once a year.
Once a year. Yeah. So anyway, everything was fine. I know you guys were nervous.
Good.
But we're fine.
See, I always have an abnormal and I have to do more. Yeah, I've always had abnormal since I was like sixteen.
What's abnormal about it?
So many things. Who knows?
Well, thank you for raising awareness and making people feel less alone who have abnormal paps.
Yeah, and then I have to go in. I always have to get, you've never had to get your cervix like scraped? To do like more testing?
I don't think so.
I always have to get my cervix scraped.
Why do they have to say scrape? Why, why do they use that word?
Cause they literally go in and scrape a piece off of it to like.
Chris, shut the fuck up.
Chris has thrown up in his mouth seven times.
Chris, you're so freaking lucky. I hope that someone sticks something up your butthole.
I hope someone, literally when you cough and they're feeling your, anyway, that's not gonna, I'm gonna get fired.
Chris, you don't fucking get it. Um, no, Chris has actually learned a lot from us. Question I wanted to ask you. Cause I, I put on Smartless for the first time. I never listened to them.
Oh, okay.
But like Adam Scott was on and I'm into Severance. And their first initial conversation was like, what they need when they sleep? And I was like, I actually don't really know what you need when you, actually, I kinda know what you need when you sleep. You like it to be dark? Then you need to be watching something. And you need your phone in one hand. And then you kind of just let the night take you where it goes.
Where it may.
I need it cool. I need to be like cool. I need to be like sixty eight in the room.
And I need my Stanley to be properly filled and next to me.
So one thing that Paige hates about me is I do have Stanleys, but I don't put ice in it.
Yep.
So I just have warm Stanleys all the time.
She's literally drinking. Bring a water bottle that like then what's the point of a Stanley if you're not gonna use its?
Sorry, I don't have an expensive ice machine.
But you have ice. Don't make it about the ice machine. Don't make it about the ice machine.
You want me to hand make ice?
You have an ice maker.
Yeah, but I don't like it. I feel like it's dirty. I it like sometimes smells. You know what smells like old water? Does anyone? Nobody?
Well, then you need to clean it. You clean your ice machine.
You have to clean your ice machine?
Don't use that ice.
You've cleaned your ice machine.
I personally haven't, but I've had my like.
You go, you call my ice machine cleaner.
I got a guy. I'll send you a guy.
Pass grab at it. Um, where were we? Oh, yeah. So you have your Stanley.
I have my Stanley and that's pretty much it.
Do you like blackout curtains?
I love them, but like it's super dangerous for a person like me.
We can't wake up.
No. If you give me like blackout curtains, especially on like vacation, I've missed the whole day.
A hundred percent. See, this is the problem with marriage.
Oh, you could never have a blackout curtain.
No, Dez like needs blackout curtains.
Oh, he does.
So Dez is like much more involved. So temperamental where I just want it ice cold.
Mm hmm.
And that's it. Like I could have.
You don't.
You could punch him in the face.
I'd go as far to say you don't even need the mattress or the accoutrement that go with it.
I don't use a pillow.
You'll lay your head wherever.
I just don't want to feel hot and that's it. But like I I I really like the sun coming in because I won't wake up or when I do, I'm gonna be like in a dark, dark, depressed state.
And then that's bad for everyone in my vicinity.
No, I like a blackout curtain, but I. I have to be regimented with it or else I'll.
You have to set a strong alarm.
Yeah, like I have like semi blackout curtains right now.
Do you remember in the movie The Holiday when Kate Winslet goes to the LA mansion? And when she wakes up all of it all automatically, um, all the windows open. I was and there's like a beach outside. I was like, okay, goals.
Manifest.
Yeah, I love that.
Dez does this annoying thing where if I like make a movement.
He wakes like he wakes up so easily and he says it's because he's a hunter.
Do you ever, are you ever like in bed with your husband and he's asleep and you're just like, it's not happening for me right now. Like I'm just not, there's just a no situation I'm gonna sleep.
So do you remove yourself and like go to the couch?
And do your own thing and then go back or do you just lay there? On your phone like no sound. Do you have a TV in your room?
I don't know what kind of.
Wait, wait, wait.
I don't know what kind of military operation.
Wait, is it Handmaid's Tale over there? What the fuck are you talking about?
You just have to sit there with your thoughts.
He doesn't let you have a ho- have a a TV in your room?
We just don't and honestly, it's because of my.
Don't make excuses for him.
It's because of my parents. Like my parents are like, there's no TV allowed in in your room.
Oh, so you've never had a TV in your room? No, you're last apartment, you had a TV in your room?
So when you go to bed at night, sorry, my eyes twitching now like I'm faster than ever. What are you doing in there?
Okay, so first I watch TV on the couch until I'm like about to pass out, but then.
Which is like what time now? Give me a timeframe.
It can vary from ten to one.
Okay, okay.
And then I try to roll myself in bed, try not to wake up Dez, but he's always like, huh, I'm a hunter.
And then I'm like, okay, please stop. And then I get into bed and then I go on my New York Times crossword app.
Okay.
And that normally puts me asleep.
He listens to like a podcast in his ear. That's his thing. He listens to like boring podcasts.
You guys are freaks.
Well, and then if I can't, then I wait and then butter comes and butter starts cuddling me and that normally puts me to sleep.
But we have this one rule in our relationship where we're both, he he has filmed me snoring before, which is illegal. Like that's HIPAA.
But he knows he snores sometimes.
And he said, I'm allowed to wake him up if he's snoring.
So when he snores, I poke him and he goes.
There's nothing I love more than waking a man up when he's snoring.
Cause you're.
I'm like, you're ruining the experience for everyone.
I do have to say, snoring husbands, like, I think it ruins, ruins marriages.
Mm hmm. I could see that. See, I'm a big fan of like.
If I'm sleeping in the bed with a man and like I can't fall asleep and they're obviously like fell asleep three hours ago, I love scrambling. Like, I love sneaking out of the bedroom, getting on the couch, turning my TikTok on full fucking blast. And like falling and then falling asleep on my own, like on the couch.
And then like going back in the bedroom at like five AM when I wake up.
You're a cat.
No, I literally, no, like I have to, it's almost like I have to be, this is one of the reasons I'm actually so scared that like, maybe I really never will get married. I hate sleeping in bed with men. Like, I genuinely hate it and I. I don't know what it is, cause like I can fall asleep on the couch with them. But once it comes to like getting in the bed and like falling asleep, I'm like. No, I have to be alone. Like I have to hang out with myself more.
It doesn't make sense. Like we all have roommates, right? And then you get to the point where you try to not have a roommate. But then when you meet a guy, now you're forced to have a roommate.
But this roommate literally takes up half the bed and is hot and is breathing in your fucking face.
And I'm like, now I can't watch a TV show and like also have my phone on when it's like three AM because you have to sleep.
Also, I understand intimacy sometimes. I understand quality time.
When you're both asleep, like, is that really intimacy?
It's just like, you can't all have like four bedroom houses. I feel like.
I need my own bed.
Sleeping in separate beds, I honestly think is great. Or just get like the biggest possible bed you can find.
I need my own bedroom and I'm so down to start the night with you. And then like start the morning with you, but what I do in the in between is like none of your business.
You're starting a business, you're running numbers, you're looking up past exes, exes, exes girlfriends. You have stuff to do during the night.
I saw a TikTok that was like, I still stalk my ex's ex even though we broke up and she's part of my routine.
Wait, wait, your comfort stock.
Your comfort stock.
Comfort stock where like when you watch them in it kind of makes your day.
I haven't had like a good, I haven't had anyone good to stalk in so long because like I my finsta I like it got taken away. And not got taken away, but I literally like forgot the password. It was like another, one of my other girlfriends and I was just like, it got logged off my Instagram like two years ago and I was like. I I probably shouldn't have one anymore and like I don't have anyone good to stalk. So like I don't have, but when I saw that I was like, oh, I miss like stalking people.
I will stalk like random people. Like I like to see a photo of like a girl who looks cool. And I'll click on her and I'm like, oh my God, she's so cool. Like her outfits, like her aesthetic and then I'll see the guy she's with and I'll click him. And then next, you know, I'm in like a wormhole of like.
I've actually followed this girl for years and she's not famous. She's not an influencer. But I found her one day and she lives in Lebanon and I watched her get engaged and I watched her get married.
Thought she was pretty.
I think she's so pretty and I think her husband's so hot and they're just like a normal couple that doesn't live in America and I stalk her all the time.
And that's important. I think. And that's important for the world. Can I say a criticism of Instagram? I I follow anything that inspires me on Instagram. Like if I see one design account, follow.
I follow over six thousand things on Instagram. That's not what Instagram's made for, because even though I feel like the more people you follow, the less people you see. I see the same four Insta stories of the same four people every day and like I, it's not even like I, I'm close to those people. Just somehow they're my algorithm and like, I don't know, I just feel. Upset.
I feel like I follow all these people and I want to see more.
Isn't it crazy how like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are so vastly different?
Like you have to put yourself in like I haven't gone on Facebook in years. I don't know what the vibe is over there, but I know it's like really scary. But like you have to put yourself in like when I'm in TikTok comments, I'm like, she's fun. She's flirty. She can like say whatever. Instagram comments are starting to get where I'm like button up. Like in like, I want to say something snarky, but I'm like, are they gonna get it? Where TikTok, I can like fully go off.
You're like, was that crazy enough, my comment?
Someone said the people that make TikToks are extroverts and the people that comment TikToks are introverts. But more often funnier.
That's hmm, interesting. I've never done drugs, but I feel like all the apps are just different types of drugs.
So like, I think TikTok's Molly, M- MDMA.
Yeah, I could, I could see it. Yeah. It's an upper. She's definitely an upper.
I feel like Instagram's cocaine.
You're just like, this is the post.
How many people are liking it? Did all my friends see it? Talk to me, like me, share me.
Wait, and and Facebook is like a Viagra.
Where you're like, okay, it's been thirty six hours and we're still going. Stop posting about your tuna for sandwich.
Yeah, it's like you couldn't naturally get here. Someone had to show you how to like work and get here.
Anytime on Facebook is by accident. Like I clicked.
Yeah, I'm like I clicked.
And I get so scared. Oh, God. And then, and then Threads is.
I don't ever click Threads.
Threads is a popper.
A hundred percent. I have a question for the teachers. What a segue.
It was natural. I thought it was natural.
Are they still playing Seven Up in school?
I hope so.
Or like was that lost with is that a dead art? Was that lost with our generation? Because I saw this TikTok and it was like things kids will never experience in school that you experienced. Remember when you had a textbook and you opened it up to see who had that textbook before you? Not a thing.
They're just like dicks.
Go into the library, you have to take out a book, you see like everyone that took out that book.
The smell of that like light manila thing in the back of it.
Like not there anymore. So there were just all these things and then I was like, are they playing seven up heads up? Like I need to know.
I remember people cheated so much in that game, so I didn't like it. I think I didn't think it was just because everyone was supposed to, right? I wanted if we were gonna.
How are they cheating? They were looking.
There's integrity in this game. This is what we have to do because I wanted to compete. And I said, if it was gonna be a fair competition, I can't have people fucking looking and seeing who did it.
So I didn't like seven up for that reason. However, it was a high that I haven't felt since.
No, there was a certain kind of high.
And then shut the lights and I was like, it's a club.
No, when they turned the lights off, I was like, things are freaky. There was a sexual, there was a sexual undertone. There was. When they turned the lights off, it was like if your crush picked you for seven up, it was like.
Oh, he wanted to touch your.
Game fucking over.
Yeah, no, wait, that's so true.
Wait, but did you play with guys?
Yeah, I played in middle school. See, since I had such long arms, I always felt like I was at an advantage for seven up. Because I would pass you. Then put my arm out and put like someone's fingers down. So it's like they already thought I'd I had gone, you know?
Kids these days will never experience rolling the TV when they roll the TV in.
They'll never experience that.
They won't. I wonder if this is gonna sound messed up, but like can Gen Alpha like write? Like, are they required to write in notebooks or is it just typing from day one?
I don't know.
Grace, how's your handwriting?
She's like, why am I catching strays?
She's offended and appalled, actually, and speechless, I would say.
Why are men so bad at handwriting?
Let's not get into it because mine's so bad and people are really gonna see when they get like the signed copies of How to Giggle. It's kinda crazy.
Your signature is not that bad.
But my handwriting is not what you would expect. It's just so off-brand for me.
You envision you having like full calligraphy?
Yeah, and it's not.
It's not.
There are a few things that people like really assume about me and I let them because it's better than what's reality.
Also, it's none of your business.
None of my business, what you think my handwriting is.
Exactly. Um, my handwriting's like, fine. Like, it's not embarrassing.
No, your handwriting's fine.
It's fine. Um, but writing, I think, was therapeutic. Also, hot take, I have had some days where I was off my phone the last couple of weeks.
And I just want to say that, um...
The world is?
Your phone actually does cause depression.
I thought...
Fully.
I'm sorry, like, I've had so many days that I end up spiraling because of like the littlest thing I saw on my phone.
And I'm like, yeah, I could not look at my phone, but like, whatever. But I've actually been off my phone and like, I feel a new... I feel just different.
You know what's funny is like, I haven't been on my phone either like the past couple of days and there's nothing like...
Meanwhile, we both have like seven hours of screen time.
Hundred percent. There is nothing like not being on your phone and like truly not knowing what's going on on like the internet because you're just like literally with the people that you're with in real life. And then you get a text from like two friends where you're like, are you okay?
I hope like, oh, I don't know how you're dealing with all this. It's so much. And I'm like, wait, I'm fine. I'm fine. And like, I was fine, but actually, what's everyone saying? Send me all the screenshots.
At first, you do get FOMO and I felt like I didn't know what was happening in the world, but then you start feeling better than people. You're like, oh, oh, you're, you're up on that. I'm sorry, I was living.
Yeah, I'm like, sorry, I was trying to stay off my phone the past couple of days. What's going on?
But it is like...
And my voice changes to that.
It is like sugar, though. Where I feel like at first you're like feening. You actually feel worse. You you you start like trying to focus and you can't focus in real life. You're like, what did people do?
My hands will shake because I'm like, check their profile. Check it like, see what that one said.
Yeah, and then you're just like, like, looking at the wall, staring at it like, what's my purpose? But then after, I feel like I had less FOMO when I was off my phone. And I started to just like feel better within myself. And like, I'm not a big comparison person. I think everyone compares online.
I'm surprised you have FOMO as much as you do because you don't really like going out.
No, my FOMO was more like, what's what's like going on in like, in the news? And like, I want to know like every, all the gossip, like I like.
Yeah, like what are like the niche TikTok references that are only happening this week?
I want to know the the jokes. I want to know what's like.
I feel like I did say a TikTok reference the other day and you're like, sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. Because I haven't been on my phone. And I was like, oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
I know, but things are just like simpler when you're off your phone.
No, it's a simpler time.
Like, I feel like I live.
I'm literally ballerina farms when I don't go on my phone for two days. I'm like, should I have a baseball team of children?
I swear to God, I I was off my phone and I was like, I think I have time to have a baby. And then I realized like.
We come up with the craziest things when we're not on our phone for three days.
Too busy to have a baby because I'm like in so many mental, like, jumping around gymnastics on my phone all day. And then I stopped being on my phone and I was like, I literally could have a child.
I'm like, what if I did Whole30 and started a charity?
A Whole30 charity.

Hershey's Creme Bars in Salted Caramel and Afagato. Lately, I've been realizing that luxury doesn't have to mean some huge splurge. Sometimes it's just taking a few minutes to yourself during a busy day. I have one of these moments, oh, I don't know, every day around 2 o'clock. Whether that's making a pick-me-up coffee, or maybe I just need to scroll for a little bit on the couch. That's why I'm actually so excited about the new Hershey's Salted Caramel and Afagato Creme Bars available now.

Pick up the new Hershey's Creme Bars in Salted Caramel or Afagato wherever you shop for snacks and choose happiness with every bite.

Mauricio has
Like Kyle.
Kyle's guy had a bracelet stack. And it was
Of like stretchy like Taylor Swift bracelets or like of like Cartier?
I think it was a combination, just like a man wearing stacked bracelets and everyone was like, oof, he's going through something.
Like this is a weird stage. I don't, men with too many accessories, like you're trying to distract me from something. I don't trust men who wear a lot of accessories at all. And like a stacked bracelet moment.
What are Dez's accessories of choice?
Oh my god, well, his first birthday, I almost bought him a watch. And I bought him this watch from like this um vintage place.
They give it to me. There's no watch in it. They just gave me an empty box. And thank god I didn't leave the store or they would have thought I just like stole a watch.
And then I wasn't able to get it for him. And I was like, I was gonna get you a watch. And I got him something else and he was like, I've never worn a watch in my life. Why would you ever get me a watch?
Wow, not a watch guy.
And I was like, I don't know, cuz you're
Yeah, that's like
You look like a guy that should wear a watch.
There's like four gifts you get men. It's like golf stuff, a watch, like
He doesn't wear watches. He doesn't wear necklaces. He really is bare bones. The man, he just wants like sporting equipment.
That's nice.
He doesn't, oh my god, I bought him a wallet once. He was like, I don't need a wallet.
Wait, where's he put his stuff? Where's he put his ID?
You've never asked?
Men, it's just like, they don't even have, they don't have nothing and they just have it.
It's just like in his pocket.
I think he might have a clip or something.
Hmm. My dad doesn't have, my dad raw dogs it.
Like he just holds cash and a card?
I don't even know if he holds an ID.
Clamshells? What is he using?
What's he, how's he paying for things?
Can I ask, what are cool girls doing for wallets?
I have a card case.
Oh yeah, you do?
I have like a YSL card thing.
What do you use?
So I've actually had a Comme des Garçons.
Oh yeah, like little, like short wallet.
Eight years.
Yeah, you've had that wallet for a minute.
It has a zipper cuz I don't trust anyone.
Or myself.
I used to have like a long, like mom wallet.
It's too big.
It's too big. So I have that and I was just wondering like, I think there's so many good, like cute vintage wallets going around.
You know what my assistant got me for Christmas that is adorable? She went to Japan like with her family like over Christmas.
She went to Japan to buy me something.
And she went did like, cause obviously Japan has like the craziest vintage shopping. And she found this Louis Vuitton key holder. That they don't even make anymore. They like stopped making them like in the fifties.
And so you like, it has like a little button and you like open it up and it has like a little chain and you like attach your keys to it and then you like snap it shut.
Like cute.
It's so freaking cute.
So cute.
And so I bring that everywhere. I have that in my card case.
And that's actually like what's in my pocket right now.
Do you remember when you were going out and it was trendy to have those tiny bags and like we didn't know what to do? And you were just like, you like you just lose your phone.
Are those little bags? They're not trending anymore, are they?
Little bags are kind of like out.
Now it's like you need the biggest bag ever.
Now you need to like put a huge leather bag in the middle of a table.
A bohemian and you have to carry it like this, like this is my child.
And it has to look like it's been through hell and back.
Which actually honestly, it's more on brand for me. Anyway, Mauricio, I hope you're okay.
Um, that's how we started that.
I hate men with a bracelet situation like that. One time I I bought myself a tennis bracelet like, cause hello.
Obviously.
And I was like dating a man at the time and he was like, I want a tennis bracelet too. And I was like.
Chris, do you have any accessories?
I have a watch and then in the summertime, I'll I'll throw one bracelet on sometimes.
Wait, explain it to me. What about the summer makes it bracelet weather?
Bracelet time, dude.
Wait, what?
One bracelet, one bracelet doesn't.
No, but why not the winter?
I don't know. It just doesn't feel right.
Yeah, because they're wearing short sleeves and they're like, hey, we're like.
I'm an accessory.
Like a little. No, but this man wanted a diamond tennis bracelet. I almost threw off.
I was like, it's not.
For you.
It's not for you at all.
I was like, cool, buy yourself one and me.
Buy yourself one in my size. Thank you.
Great, then get two.
I also, I want to call out the New York Times.
What do they do? What do they do now?
Well, I love the New York Times. I get a lot of great emails from them, but one, I just want all the gigglers. This is our mental health moment.
Wait, did you feel like such an adult when you like subscribe to the New York Times?
Oh, yeah, I was like, I know what's going on.
Like, I'm an adult, I pay taxes. Like, sometimes I'll get like emails and I forget that I'm like subscribed to like Business Insider. I'm like, what business do I have even being subscribed to this?
I don't remember subscribing to anything, but I am.
And
I am Business Insider.
I think that we all have to remember that no one knows what they're doing. Everything's smoke and mirrors.
Uh huh.
And everyone's talking out their ass and flailing.
Cause the New York Times, someone wrote this article, like they were like really um onto something. Like they figured something out.
Very passionate about it.
I swear to God, this is the article. Chef recommends chips in sandwich. Like it was some groundbreaking discovery. I've been putting chips in my tuna fish sandwich since I was fucking six years old.
Since we were given sandwiches.
And they literally wrote this whole article, like, he highly recommends the texture and saltiness of the crisp. No shit, Sherlock.
You ever had a turkey sandwich with a Dorito chips smack dab on there in the middle of a summer day? Hello?
A cool ranch Dorito with a turkey?
Get him, grippy times!
What the hell, like, and I at least like give credit where credit's due. It's us when we're six years old. Don't give it to this, this, this guy didn't have to go to France and work for a Michelin star restaurant to tell me chips taste good in a sandwich.
You actually said something a little bit ago that people don't talk about enough. Chips on a tuna sandwich, much different than chips on any other sandwich. I, I would say it makes the whole tuna sandwich.
A homemade tuna, has to be homemade.
Yes, a hundred percent. I didn't think people ate sandwiches without chips in them.
It's really hard to eat a sandwich, no chip.
Yeah, that's
It's kind of, it's like, okay, well, what's my side?
Like, so I just don't have a side?
A hundred percent. But I, I really love that they were like, we figured it out.
Let's play a game really quickly. I feel like you're similar. I feel like you're similar to me in this. Certain meals, i.e. like certain sandwiches, require certain drinks. And it's very specific on like what drink to what you're eating.
I mean, there's definitely things that are illegal.
So like Chinese food, I'm going, one, two, three.
I don't drink soda.
Oh, right. I'm actually going ginger ale.
Okay. Turkey sandwich, one, two, three.
Gatorade. Gatorade, same thing, juice is what I was going for.
Okay, juice. Okay. I'm trying to think of.
But like, I can have a tuna, I can have a turkey sandwich and not have it, I see.
My mom, who's like a health buff.
Cannot have pizza without Coke.
That was it, that's another really good one. Pizza, you need a Coca-Cola.
Soda gets through the, the fatty ass.
You just need a.
It's a scientific thing.
You literally need a.
I don't know, maybe I should read the New York Times to figure out. Um, no, but I do have to say, the, the New York Times has incredible, like, cooking, like, the recipes are insane.
Yeah, New York Times recipes, like, is, people will be like, fancy people will be like, oh, this is a salmon recipe from the New York Times. Like, it's very regal. That's why when I saw a whole article about putting chips in a sandwich, I was like, who, what kind of layoffs did they have at the New York Times?
Did you do your wedding in the New York Times?
No, we chose not to.
Hmm, I think I'm gonna throw mine in there.
Yeah, in vogue.
I already planned out your whole wedding's PR tour.
I can't wait.
I'm so excited.
What a fun time.
What a fun.
You know, it's so, it's funny to think about how different my bachelorette party is going to be than yours, because like, we're older now. But really, like, I should have had that type of bachelorette party, and I'm probably gonna have one that you should have had. Like, what if I'm like, let's go to a farm upstate?
I was supposed to be the last of my friends to get married.
I know, you were like my literal first.
I felt that in my heart of hearts, but like, I think.
I'm gonna say something, I never thought I was gonna be the last. I really, every time we went around the, the group at the lunch table in high school, no one ever picked me last.
Also, you're not the last, none of our friends are married.
Who are our friends, honestly? We have to stop comparing ourselves to Grace, who's younger than us.
True.
Works for us, not our actual, doesn't wanna be our friend.
Okay. I'm literally contractually obligated to be here right now.
You're not last.
No, I'm literally kidding. I don't give a flying fuck.
Life is about perspective and.
I need to be last because I need to get up in the middle of the night and go on the couch and be by myself. And once I work through that.
I also like, thinking of when I'm younger and we used to like hook up with guys and like, like just stay, I don't know. I've, it's, when you're thirty, it's so different.
Like staying over?
Yeah, it's like, I'm not staying over.
And then his roommates are there when you get out of there.
Oh, well, I would never do, well, come on, have some respect on my fucking name. You think I'm staying at places where people have roommates? Get grip, Hannah.
Sorry, I, but also like, the roommates were fun. It was part of the hang. Like, I've just, like, come on, hang with us.
Totally. Part of the hang when you're like twenty-six, thirty-two, it's a bit depressing. Say buddy, your roommate for me. Like, no.
You're like, Jeff, don't give me that look, Jeff. Your life sucks, Jeff, and your room is ugly. I don't like the decor.
You don't even have a real light.
No, it is funny. Like, even in my twenties, though, I didn't really, I don't feel like I slept out that much because.
You know what's way worse than waking up in someone's apartment with roommates? When he wakes up in your bed and won't leave.
See, I'd rather that because I feel like I would, I'm, it's easier for me to like get you the fuck out than like, I hate waking up somewhere else. And I'm like, now I have to go home and wash my face and like.
See, I like being able to be like, bye bitch, I'm out, than having to awkwardly wake him up. Or like, he's chatting, chatting, chatting, and you're like, I don't.
I do that before, like, I'm like, okay, this was great, see ya.
Once I was talking to this guy who lived with his parents in Connecticut. And I was unsure if his parents were rich or not. Cause Connecticut, there's many different towns. So I wasn't sure yet, but anyway, he came into the city to like hang out. And then we went back to my place and it was like middle of the day. And then like hooked up. And then he just like was sitting there and I was like, I have shit to do. I was, and he was like, I'm just, you know.
And you didn't have a TV in your room, so he wasn't watching TV.
Not watching TV and I literally was like, I'm gonna go to the gym. And I left, went to the gym, came back, he's still there. Took a shower. And he was like, I have something in the city like later tonight, can I just like chill?
I wonder if I was ever someone that like somebody had to get out.
We've ever like wanted to stay anywhere.
No, I really don't think I am. One time I hooked up with a guy, I don't, this has nothing to do with it. I don't know why this just popped into my head.
Once I hooked up with a guy who had no sense of smell.
When did he bring that up in conversation?
The next morning. I was like, oh my God, I have to brush my teeth, I'm so sorry. And he goes, doesn't matter, I have no sense of smell. And I was like.
What happened?
That was it. I never saw him again, honestly. It had nothing to do with that.
Actually, I would love to be with that man, cause I could just fart all the time.
I literally also actually like forget his name. This was so long ago. But I don't know why that just popped into my head because honestly, that was like a time where I was like, okay, I need, I wanna go home.
Do you know what's not fun about your twenties? Going to guys' places? And them having something on TV that you have to watch and pretend you like. I have like a lot of memories of like hanging out with a bunch of guys who put on like.
I don't need to see this again.
Where my nervous like narcolepsy.
Laughing, cause he just did that last night with someone.
Like there's so much.
Though that like it was the office for like our age group. Like anywhere you go, it's like someone just put the office on.
They love showing you something they like. And then you have to sit there and be like, I, cause I'm gonna be fake.
This is where like my, my nervousness narcolepsy comes in play, like I, I can fall asleep. Like oh, I just remembered I don't wanna be here. I'll fall asleep.
That's you literally severing yourself.
Yeah. And like I'm done with this night. You know, I'm literally off. Do you know how many that like recollections I have of guys being like, are you still awake? I'm like, no. Shut the fuck up.
How many guys disappointed? They're like, she fell asleep at seven P M. We didn't do anything.
I was just so comfortable with you. Get the fuck out of my house.
I feel like, yeah, we have to go to like places in our mind to remember those like weird twenties scenarios.
No, I can't.
But I was lucky where I had a lot of male roommates. Who were like really protective of me. So like, I don't know, it was, it was harder.
They would just like look out for me. I wasn't like constantly like.
Wait, how nice though, like.
Cory and Dave literally raised me.
Yeah, like you never had like a moment in your apartment where you're like, oh my God, like you know, when you hear something and you're like, fuck, is someone gonna try, is trying to break in like you had two men in your apartment?
Every now and then I'd wake up and they're both fucking passed out on the ground with like.
Okay, well, you're not defending anyone.
And I'm like, you guys have jobs and I have to wake them up to make sure they don't get fired. But regardless, they definitely did cock block a little bit because people would think that I'm like with them. But they would benefit from me because there's that whole like, if a girl sees another girl hanging out with guys, it's like animalistic where she thinks they're safer. So like, cuz I was with them, girls would approach them more. Where guys wouldn't approach me, but look, think about your interactions. Like, I feel like eighty nine percent of the interactions are bad when you go out with men. So like I was able, or more, and I was able to just like have them like.
I really don't think like men approach girls anymore. Like, I just really don't think they do unless like.
Unless someone knows someone like that I'm like sitting with, it's not like some random guy is gonna come up to me. Like that hasn't happened to me in years. Like I don't know if men do that anymore.
Des has a really good joke where he's like, you used to have to get rejected to your face.
Like you had to go up to girls.
I would have loved to lived then.
He's like you had to get the balls and then she would tell you her number and you had to remember it. And like repeat it in your head over and over again. Um, yeah, I'm like, I don't remember what the joke actually was, but something along the lines of like you'd ask. A girl like, or you'd just say whatever and she'd say no, and then you go to her friend and then you just like go down the line. But yeah, guys now like it's all about the swiping.
Yeah, like what, I couldn't tell you the last time in person someone said, can I have your number?
The only time it happened to me is like really weird inappropriate places. Like I remember I was at like a bookstore and a guy like was like, can I have your number?
Was at the grocery store. Inappropriate.
I could see like in their head, they think it's romantic, but it was giving like a guy was just like walking around the bookstore, like going up to women being like, can I have your number? And I'm like, I, I don't want to be here.
Yeah, I don't know if you could actually approach me anywhere and me be like. Yeah, sure, you can have my number.
Any guy who's ever like just asked for my number, it's been a problem. It's been a, police reports been made.
Okay, so then I'll just decline.
I think it's more like. A guy starts up a conversation with you.
Someone that lives in my building, so don't have to go anywhere, but everyone in my building is a hundred and four. Which actually seems nice.
Which actually, stay open minded.
Stay open minded. The only thing I'll give the gigglers to watch on, I believe it's HBO, there's this. Case about Karen Reed, which is about a girl who was dating a police officer in Boston. And she was drunk and they got into like a little bit of a fight because he, they were going to after party. He went into the after party to meet all his cop friends and she was like waiting on him. And he like wasn't responding to her, so she got pissed off and just left. And the next day it's reported that he's found dead in the snow and immediately. They said that she hit him with her car. And she was like, was I drunk? Like, I'm pretty sure he was not there. I don't know where this is coming from.
And then they're trying to lean in to be like, was it the cops trying to frame her?
Oh, my god.
So anyway, I don't know what happens. I'm in the middle of it, but it's pretty intense.
Can I tell you that this is my favorite picture of you ever?
Oh, my god, thank you. That's really great to put on an audio podcast. That was really helpful. Shout out, our book is like
Out.
Coming out. You guys, it's happening. Like, if you haven't
I like flipped through it last night and I was like, pretty good.
