(05:15) Paige recommends a cult documentary, leading to a deeper conversation on emotional manipulation and why victims stay: “It's like emotional manipulation.” (05:52 – Hannah)
The conversation segues into the always-hot topic of why people are so fascinated (and judge-y) about cults and “bad men.”

  - “When you have a pimple, I'm humble. You forget about all... your other problems and you put it all into your pimple. And I actually think you kind of enjoy it because you wake up and you go, it's the pimple that's ruining my life.” (14:05 – Hannah)

6. Golf, Gender Double Standards, and Childhood Stories

(44:00) Hannah suggests Addison Rae should “shift her inspo to more, like, Marilyn Monroe,” instead of Britney Spears, as both faced disrespect breaking into Hollywood against odds.
- They commiserate about the unnecessary hate Addison gets:
  - “Why are people so mean to her?... it's like, they’re mad at Nepo babies. So I'm like, you can't start from TikTok? ... Oh, you want the gatekeepers of Hollywood to have picked her?” (44:36 – Hannah)
