Key Discussions & Insights

1. Pop Culture Fandom: RuPaul’s Drag Race & TV Nostalgia

• Hannah confesses her new obsession with RuPaul’s Drag Race after binge-watching it on a hotel TV, describing it as “Project Runway meets America’s Next Top Model meets stand-up comedy.”
  Quote: “They are so funny. I didn't realize how much pop culture starts there. The words they're saying in 2020 is what you see Gen Z saying in 2023. They invented culture!” (Hannah, 09:35)
• Paige connects nostalgia to MTV shows like 16 and Pregnant, arguing it was the Millennial version of ‘Scared Straight’:
  “I still, in my heart of hearts, I'm like, I can't get pregnant. I'm on the cheerleading team. How can I have a baby and still be the flyer?” (Paige, 10:45)

2. Gender Disparity in Sports: Women’s Hockey & Olympics (17:39–22:29)

• Hannah rants about the inequity between men’s and women’s hockey, outlining their respective paths after Olympic victories, pay discrepancies, and the societal double standard.

  “The women's hockey team, by the way, they've been more consistent than the men's... These women get paid 30 to 50k, now they're at 80k, but they had to have multiple jobs, raise their children... They're on their period, they're fighting the patriarchy, and they're still succeeding.” (Hannah, 18:25)

• Paige draws a parallel from her own childhood to everyday sexism, likening the treatment of women’s sports to being treated as unimportant younger siblings:

  “That is truly what it's like being an adult woman. Little cousins are people, too.” (Paige, 21:43)

3. Anxiety, Mental Health, & Performing Under Pressure (24:29–27:38)

• Paige opens up about anxiety as she prepares to attend the SAG Awards, sharing how reframing challenges as fun helps her cope:

  “You've wanted to do this since you were literally 6 years old. You're now getting to do it, and you're gonna be scared the whole time. Like, you love your dress… That actually just like, really helped me. That girl being like, I'm just gonna have fun with it.” (Paige, 25:32)

• Hannah reframes public performance as an act of love:

  “When you love something, love overrides everything.” (Hannah, 26:36)

4. Social Media & Internet Outrage (33:11–36:36)

• Discussion about self-deprecating humor backfiring online—Hannah’s joke about being sweaty gets misinterpreted as bullying:

  “The internet is bullying me for bullying myself as a result, bullying me.” (Hannah, 35:16)

• Both react to the toxic cycles of defense and outrage that define social media, especially Threads and TikTok.

  “The Internet is in, like, a weird low right now.” (Hannah, 35:50)

• Reading as self-care away from toxic online spaces.

  “That's when you know the country has gone awry. Paige is at home reading.” (Paige, 36:06)

5. Pop Culture Deep Dives: Carolyn Bessette, Nepo Babies, and Relationship Power Dynamics (43:02–65:20)

• Audrey Hepburn casting and iconic style conversations tie into discussions on celebrity biopics, with Paige noting how pressure and public scrutiny can feel uncomfortable to observe.
• The “Nepo baby” discourse:

  “People are way harder on female Nepo babies than male ... Who's allowed to do well? ... It's a lose lose.” (Hannah & Paige, 63:08–63:31)

• Paige and Hannah reflect on relationships between funny women and men, noting it takes a confident man to be with a woman who’s quick-witted and commanding.

  “If we make a guy giggle, sometimes they feel tricked... they lost control of the conversation.” (Hannah, 39:35)

6. Everyday Aesthetics: Fawn Prints, Tiaras, and Gendered Double Standards in Self-Presentation (52:16–56:17)

• Fashion industry cycles, fawn print trends, and the rise of the “everyday tiara.”

  “They’re going to do squirrels next.” (Hannah, 52:35)

• Debate about women copying muted but iconic styles, and the criticism that follows.

  “You can’t do anything as a woman. You can't like it, you can't dislike it ... you can't win a gold medal.” (Paige & Hannah, 55:42, 55:59)

• Hannah gently roasts her husband's dislike for feta as a playful aside on marriage and new discoveries even after years together.

7. Relatable Rants: Bathrooms, Grooming, and Organization (56:17–59:00)

• A debate on public bathrooms putting hand lotion next to soap leads to confessions about being in a rush and personal organization quirks.
• A classic Giggly Squad riff on hair, makeup, and the “emotional, spiritual, physical” labor women do before big events.

Not only can you see something on Instagram or TikTok or hear about it on a podcast and think, wow, I need to order that. And then you can order it on prime immediately.

[Hannah]

But.

[Paige]

But it also just makes your life better because sometimes you forget someone's birthday or a Christmas gift or a flag day gift. I don't know any type of gift. And you can literally get it so fast with Prime. Prime just makes your life easier. And it always comes in clutch. Not only is it fast, it's also free delivery. Fast. Free delivery. It's on Prime. Sup, Gigglers? Gary, fix your WI fi.

[Hannah]

Manifest that shit. We can't be managed.

[Paige]

I mean, the day just got away from me.

[Hannah]

Breaking news.

[Paige]

Sorry, I. Sorry. Us Weekly just did an article about me getting UTIs. Like, what?

[Hannah]

No, no, they didn't.

[Paige]

I just commented it and said, guys, what the. As if I just, like, announced I have a chronic illness debilitating health issue. What the fuck? Like, I can't. Like, why someone commented and goes, obviously, she's having a lot of sex.

[Hannah]

I feel like I need a comment. No, literally, I wrote, okay, it looks

[Paige]

like I died in a car accident.

[Hannah]

Also, then people say tmi. It's like, that was on our private

[Paige]

podcast that was private for my closest 200,000 friends. Like, please stop.

[Hannah]

It was in our private diary that we post sometimes people pick things up.

[Paige]

I'm like, that's so violating. I wrote that in my diary.

[Hannah]

Okay, back to our scheduled programming. Hello, my gold medal. Gigglers. It had to be said. It had to be said. You're all the way in California right now.

[Paige]

I'm all the way in California right now. And let me just say one thing. And this might be a controversial. This might be controversial. But, like, you know, and, like, you have to, like, do a fun fact about you or, like, you're out on a date or like, you see and it's like, people are like, I love traveling. In theory, totally. Like, I love traveling, but actually, I hate it. Like, I get on one flight and I get off the flight and I'm like. And I'm constipated. My stomach exploded. My head hurts. I need to go lay in a bed. Like. Like, if you go on vacation with me and you have plans for. For the day that we land, I'm not your friend. Like, I'm in la. I don't technically have to be in LA till Wednesday, but I'm like, no, I need two days to, like, get it together. I need to, like, I need to acclimate. I need, like. So actually, I hate traveling.

[Hannah]

Well, travel is annoying because when you finally get to your place, you're trying to go, you haven't actually done anything. So you feel like a lazy piece of shit because you've just been sitting on planes. But emotionally traveling is difficult. I mean, you guys, occasionally I have to run in heels. But my traveling faux pas was I was on American Airlines. Lost. Scared.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

You know, I'm a Delta girl and I was in C, D3. D. Oh, no, I'll just say D and I assume D was by the window because I'm a woman in STEM

[Paige]

and Delta it is, by the way.

[Hannah]

Sit down. I digress. Also, like, this is just alphabetical. The Alphabet was. Yeah, Like, I don't question the Alphabet. Yeah, I'm not changing the Alphabet.

[Paige]

Wait, do you know that they actually did change the Alphabet song in school?

[Hannah]

Why?

[Paige]

I don't know. Like, if you walk into any middle school right now and they're learning the Alphabet, it is not at the same cadence in which we learned the Alphabet.

[Hannah]

But that shit was my jam. A, B, C, D, E. Do you

[Paige]

remember actually, like, in, like, third grade when they would, like, make up songs to, like, learn multiplication?

[Hannah]

I feel like that was something that was helping you during a difficult time.

[Paige]

Oh, okay. I ate and I ate and I got. I ate and I ate and I got sick on the floor because 8 times 8 is 64. Like, that's not ringing a bell. Got it. Hey. Never mind.

[Hannah]

No, Paige needed a little cute song to remember her math tracks.

[Paige]

No, I literally did.

[Hannah]

I'm sitting my ass in D and a very nice lady is like, sorry, you're in my seat now. One thing about me is I never assume I'm right.

[Paige]

Never.

[Hannah]

Cuz then it would be rough.

[Paige]

Life at the end of the day, I'm probably wrong. Yeah.

[Hannah]

So I'm like, oh, I must be in the wrong row, look up, it goes, A, C, D, F. Okay? So then I stop and I say, I'm sorry, but actually, this is. The system is wrong. There's a. There's a bigger.

[Paige]

If I had a nickel. If I had a goddamn nickel.

[Hannah]

This. I'm just a girl who's been taken advantage of by whatever this letter written let astray. So she's. And she's like, you can stay there. But look, I know that people, when they want a window, they want a window. I said, ma', am, oh, yeah, no, you deserve the window. I have to pee anyways. I'm going in the aisle. It's all good. So then I'm doing my thing, and at the end of the flight, she goes like, hey, just wanting. You know, my sister is a big giggler. And I. And I started laughing, and I was like, did you tell her I took your seat? And she goes, yeah. And the giggler said, hannah's really bad at admin, and she's a Delta girl, so that tracks.

[Paige]

And Hannah actually doesn't know where she is.

[Hannah]

And she was like, how did she know that about you? And I was like, does she.

[Paige]

It's common knowledge. We're all just out here.

[Hannah]

Everyone knows I have a new obsession, which is, you know, when I'm on the road, I need to watch something, and I hyper fixate on things. I realize I have a problem. Like, I'll hyper fixate on meals. I have a fixate.

[Paige]

Well, you want to know what You. You are correct in yourself where you say, like, you could never do drugs. You'd get, like, obsessed with, like, if

[Hannah]

I smoked one cigarette, by next week, I'd be like, welcome to giggly squad.

[Paige]

So you'd be that TikTok like my dad. What's that TikTok where? It's like, we moved to the. Worked at the Palm or, like, casino, something. Again. Whatever. Keep going. I have no brain.

[Hannah]

So, you know, you just got off a plane. I don't know how you're functioning. So I. Look, it's a little embarrassing because I'm very late to the game. It's not that I haven't seen it before. I just haven't been, like, locked in. I'm addicted to RuPaul's Drag Race.

[Paige]

Really?

[Hannah]

Paige?

[Paige]

Wait, where are you even watching it? What? Like on Amazon?

[Hannah]

What happened? I was in a casino in Oklahoma.

[Paige]

And that'll happen to you. And I said, you know, how come no one ever talks about casinos then in Oklahoma?

[Hannah]

Well, how come no one ever talks about how Oklahoma has this, like, Ozempic little, like, end to it that no one lives on. But they just fought for it. They were like, that's our land. You know, like, the end of Oklahoma. No, wait, this got too.

[Paige]

I know the end of Oklahoma.

[Hannah]

Sorry. Back in the day, I worked for a company that you had to know the state's shapes. And it was. I wish I didn't, but I digress. I just put on TV and MTV had RuPaul's Drag Race playing. And there was something so nostalgic about turning on mtv because I remember feeling naughty when I was little. Like, watching mtv, I'd be like, I'm such a teenager. Yeah. And I start watching it, I'm in. I'm immediately invested. Because this is the thing about RuPaul's Drag Race. It's Project Runway combined with. They're doing their own glam America's, but America's Next Model, where they do their own stuff. Plus, it's a comedy show. They're doing routines, they're doing gags, they're doing bits. And they're so mean to each other because they're men. So they get over it really quick. So they'll just say the most fucked up shit and then they're fine. And then there's so much heart to it because they're always just like, learn to love yourself. Which everyone can learn from. And I am locked in on season 12 right now. I've watched, like, eight episodes in the last two days.

[Paige]

It's still going on though, right?

[Hannah]

Yeah. There's a current season.

[Paige]

I think it's, like, one of the longest running shows. I feel like it's been on for, like, 20 years.

[Hannah]

You would love it.

[Paige]

I know. I can't believe I've never watched, like, a full season. I've watched, like, random episodes before, but I've never, like, sat down and watched a season from start to finish.

[Hannah]

They are so funny. And I think I didn't fully realize how, like, the pop culture starts there. Like, the words they're saying in 2020 is what you see. Like, the Gen z saying in 2023. Like, they invented culture. Like, they are so fucking funny.

[Paige]

Like, slay. Yeah, they came up with that. There's a lot of words that they came up with.

[Hannah]

And also, do you know high fashion designers watch RuPaul's Drag Race for inspiration? Because they're just so creative. But, like, they don't even talk about it. They're just like, okay, make your own outfit and do glam. And it's Like a two minute edit. I'm just blown away by it.

[Paige]

It's funny that you brought up mtv because I saw a girl make this video and she was, she was like, I'm married, I'm in my 30s, and I'm so petrified to have a child. And she was like. And I think it's because when I was at like a very prime age, I was turning on MTV and I was watching 16 and Pregnant. And that was truly our version of like, Scared Straight.

[Hannah]

Yes.

[Paige]

Like, I still, in my heart of hearts, I'm like, I can't get pregnant. I'm on the cheerleading team. Like, how can I have a baby and still be the flyer?

[Hannah]

The men were so horrible. They'd be like, I don't want a baby. I won't be here. I'm not showing up to the date.

[Paige]

Like, the worst is such unhinged television that at 12, I'm like, locked in. I'm like, something's going on with Farah and her mom. Can't figure it out. Just to only realize that, like, years and years later, I, like, I will still think about these people.

[Hannah]

Maybe they have to make one for fucking smoking. So the kids these days stop smoking. It's very upsetting to me. If I see another it girl with a cigarette, I'll lose my mind. Wait, I'm very, you know about it.

[Paige]

Are you? Because I feel like I keep seeing it too. And I'm like, this feels very like, look, I'm no angel. I love a drunk Sig. I. I prefer a drunk cig in Europe because I feel like that doesn't count. Like, if you smoke cigarettes in Europe, it's like you're on vacation.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

I couldn't tell you genuinely. I can tell you the last time I had a drunk cigarette in the United States because I'm like, so grossed out by them. But it is so interesting that now they're in, like, campaigns and, like, in girls dumps.

[Hannah]

This generation's obsessed with aesthetic and they're obsessed with trends. Yeah. So, like, one cool girl posts her with a cigarette, then all these girls are gonna do it. I don't know. It's not, it's not worth it. And I don't know why, what they're trying to say, like, I'm bad. Like, I don't know. I never understood that.

[Paige]

Like, especially because I would credit Gen Z with, like, not over consuming alcohol and, like, because they're high, there's.

[Hannah]

They're in a fucking smoke chain or whatever they call it.

[Paige]

No, I would say, I actually think Gen Z is almost better with substances than Millennials. Because, like, like when I was in my 20, when I was 23 to 26, like, I was blacked out every single weekend. Like, I didn't have a skin care routine.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Like, I didn't know. Like, I didn't do that stuff. So I think there are good things about Gen Z, but the smoking thing is. It is interesting.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Wait.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

So obviously, like, we talked about America's Next Top Model, and then, like, I literally couldn't stop thinking about it. And I'm just like, I see all these clips on Tick Tock and then the other day I'm watching Lincoln Lawyer, which is like my new obsession. I actually just finished it on Netflix.

[Hannah]

We have such different taste in tv. I saw Lincoln Lawyer. I was like, boring, obsessed.

[Paige]

Love, love the main character. I'm like, no, I haven't clicked on it. You know what it is? I love a strong man in a suit. Like, and I'm, you know, I'm sorry if that sounds misogynistic. Like, I feel not feminist. Say, I love strong man in a suit.

[Hannah]

Yeah, a strong man in a suit gives me, like, fucking agita. I don't like that at all.

[Paige]

So I'm watching it and there's like one of the characters. She's like the prosecutor. And I'm staring at her and I'm like, I know this woman. Like, how do I know this woman? And now my new thing is rather than like, when I don't know something and just like immediately looking it up on Google, I try and use my brain. I'm like, no, I know it. Let me find it.

[Hannah]

Don't try to be a hero. Don't try to be a hero.

[Paige]

Sit and think and see if I can figure it out. I'm literally sitting on the couch now. My eyes are closed. I'm like, let me just hear her voice and see if I can place her.

[Hannah]

You started channeling spirits.

[Paige]

I'm like, I know this person. How do I know this person? All of a sudden it clicks. She was on America's Next Top Model. Her name was Yaya. I end up looking her up on INS or on Google. She has a. Because I was like, I've seen her in other TV shows. Like, I know her as an actress. Like, in my head I was like, she's an actress. But what are the other things I've watched her in? Then it clicks to me. She's on America's Next Top Model. She was not in the documentary but she's a perfect example, her and Eva, of someone who, like, did cross over and make the pivot.

[Hannah]

There's also America's Next Top Model, an actress that played in Crazy Stupid Love. She played the babysitter in Crazy Stupid Love.

[Paige]

She was on America's Next Top Model. Mm. I didn't know that. And so then I'm thinking. And then, like, I'm obviously, like, I'm watching more clips of America's Next Top Model and, like, girls, like, talking about it on TikTok and stuff. And one of the things that I think is different than other reality shows where there's judges. The judges were on a reality show with each other. Like, there are so many clips of people saying, like, some of the most racist things you've ever heard in your life. And Tyra, like, turning her head and being like, what? Where, like, typically, I feel like when you watch a TV show and, like, even, like, us, like, if we've ever, like, been on another TV show or we've done, like, even going on, like, another podcast, there is a sense of, like, we're both on the same page because we're performing for the viewer, where that show, the judges were just, like, saying anything. Like, no wonder Tyra, like, freaked out at some points. Like, some people were saying unhinged things, and it's like, it's her show. So I feel like people are talking about that enough that the judges were trying to make things even more, like, controversial, which you don't like if you watch Project Runway. Like, the judges aren't, like, fighting with each other for real. Like, they're on the same page. They're the judges.

[Hannah]

American Idol. They would fight. Like, fake fight, but, like, not, like, offensive.

[Paige]

I feel like that was. Simon Cowell's character was like, he was the. Like, there's a character for each person.

[Hannah]

Speaking of assholes, I'm watching the Gordon Ramsay documentary on Netflix, which I do have to say, I'm a huge Gordon Ramsay fan. I don't support any of the verbal abuse that he does, but I overall like a grumpy old man. And he. I don't know why I just can't look away. Like, Kitchen Nightmares was my favorite thing. And he does employ a ton of people and help a lot small businesses. But I digress. Very boring documentary. It's basically. It's like one he's just promoting, like, a new restaurant he's trying to open. It's kind of like a little Victoria Beckham esque where they're just, like, pushing one of the things they're promoting. Except Victoria Beckham was more interesting. No, but her documentary was promoting. Whoa, whoa. You said it yourself.

[Paige]

You said, I draw the line. Okay, Nicola, don't come on to this podcast and they're gonna talk about Victoria Beckham like that.

[Hannah]

You call me Nicola. Who's that?

[Paige]

Nicole is the sister, the daughter in law. Oh, keep up.

[Hannah]

But that's ultimately why I think I love RuPaul's Drag Race so much, is that it's not entertaining because people are mean, even though people are mean on it. It's funny. It's comedy. Everyone's laughing at themselves. And at the end of the day, it's about love and acceptance and loving your neighbor and loving yourself. So anyway, with that said, not happy with men's hockey, tell.

[Paige]

Because I'm like, sure. Yeah, for sure. I hate them, too.

[Hannah]

Basically, they win. The president calls them. Well, actually, the FBI head of FBI is drunk with them on speakerphone. He had better things to do. Yeah, he's partying with the men's hockey team in Italy. In Italy, in the locker room, they're all drunk.

[Paige]

I think there's a lot of problems going on here in the Americas.

[Hannah]

And they're not in the champagne in the locker room in Milan. I'll tell you that right now. Seeing, like, all the men celebrating. And then a man be like, let me show you. I know the president. And then get the president on the phone, and the president being like, I'm gonna fly you guys everywhere. I'm gonna treat you great. I'm gonna fly you here with every. And then he's like, and I'm gonna have to invite the women's team or I'll probably get impeached. And I'm not even mad. Like, yeah, the guys. The guys laughed. Some of them are probably assholes. Some might have just been nervous. And it was like a subtle jab. Yeah, it hurts so much because that's what we actually deal with every day. It's not like a big aggressive. It's the subtle things that people say. The woman's hockey team, by the way, they've been more consistent than the men's hockey team been winning a medal. I did the math since 1998, and these women get paid 30 to 50k now they're at 80k. But they had to have multiple jobs. They had to raise their children. They had no resources. They had, like, no assistance. They're on their period. They're fighting the patriarchy, and they're still succeeding.

[Paige]

Wait, is the men. Sorry for, like.

[Hannah]

Yeah, I'm not, like, a big hockey fan either, but someone did a video,

[Paige]

I think it was, like, Caleb Perrin, where he was like, I wish they had, like, a talk show. And it had one person that knew nothing about sports that could ask the questions, which. That's so smart question. The guys that are on the men's Olympic hockey team for the United States of America, are they all on professional teams? Year.

[Hannah]

So they're. They're the best Americans in the NHL. And then millions of dollars.

[Paige]

Millions of. So their only job is hockey.

[Hannah]

Yes.

[Paige]

And they lose everything.

[Hannah]

Are in a small league. And by the way, not to, like, name drop, but the captain of the USA women's team, who's one of the greatest of all time, Hillary Knight, played at the University of Wisconsin, Go be Edgers when I was there. And the woman's hockey team won every national championship when I was there and the men's team didn't. So I just remember thinking these girls were, like, so badass because they're. They're playing a sport while skating. Yeah, it's like, think of basketball, but skating, like, it's crazy. But the thing is, they love the game so much, they're not doing it for the money. They're not. They're not. I don't know what they're doing it for because it's fucking hard, but they're doing it for. For some fucking respect. And I'm glad the WNBA is there, women's tennis is there. Hockey's next. Because who. I just. Ooh. It makes you. I don't like it.

[Paige]

Yeah, it's just such a. Like, it's boys club, but that truly is every day. Like, okay, I guess, like, the girls. Yeah, the girls can do it, too. Like. Like a perfect. This is not a perfect example, but the only thing I can think of is, like, when I was younger and, like, I would be playing a game with, like, my older brother, like, my older cousins, and there were any little, like, younger cousins, we would always be like, they don't count. Like, sure, you guys can, like, play, but, like, it doesn't actually count in the real score, which my little cousins would get so mad. Like, we count. Like, we're like, okay. Like, you don't. But that is truly what it's like being an adult woman.

[Hannah]

Little cousins are people, too.

[Paige]

Yeah, they're people, too. They're, like, in their 20s now, so I consider them people.

[Hannah]

I also don't want to be. Yeah. Like the butt of a joke by, like, the people making decisions about Our rights.

[Paige]

Period, Period, Period. No pun intended. Period.

[Hannah]

Get.

[Paige]

Period.

[Hannah]

All over the ice next time.

[Paige]

I hate everyone.

[Hannah]

I'm just really proud of all the female Olympians. I mean, Alyssa Lou, shout out to my girl. Did you not see Alyssa Lou?

[Paige]

No idea what you're talking about.

[Hannah]

The girl.

[Paige]

Again, it's sports, and I'm so proud of the girls, but it's sports, so, like, I'm probably not tuning in.

[Hannah]

Like, okay, so.

[Paige]

And I'm proud of them, though.

[Hannah]

Alyssa Lou, when she was 16, was a world champion, and she was, like, in everything in ice skating. And she's doing everything she's supposed to do. Like, she's eating how she's supposed to eat. She's putting her hair the way they wanted their hair. And she's just being psychotic. She then decides this. I'm quitting. World champion at 16. Quitting.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

Two years later, she was on a ski trip with some friends and realized, like, this is actually kind of fun. Imagine if I had fun with ice skating like I'm doing now. And she has this, like, epiphany where she's like, if I. I'm so talented, if I approach it differently mentally. And I see it as just an expression of my art that I'm grateful that I can express to the world. I'll do it again. And she calls her coach, and she's like, I want to come back. And the coach is like, no, you hate this. This isn't a good fit. Like, you don't want to do this. And she, like, begs him. She comes back. She wears what she wants. She dyes her hair in these, like, halos, they call them. And the people there are like, you can't have your hair like that. And she's like, go yourself. And she goes on and gives the most incredible performance.

[Paige]

Why would there be a rule about hair? Because they're crazy.

[Hannah]

Because they want to control women.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

And how they look like you're. How you look should not affect how you're rated in your performance. But ice skating is still like ballet, where it's like, is she thin enough? Is she beautiful enough?

[Paige]

Right.

[Hannah]

So this girl says, you. She. But she's so confident and in love with herself that she's so beautiful. And she skates, like, the most amazing skate. And all the other girls, she's, like, hugging and, like, there was just this, like, camaraderie. Girlhood.

[Paige]

Yeah. Women are incredible.

[Hannah]

No, seriously, the top man, the top ice skating man, Ilya had so much pressure on him. There's a lot of reasons I don't know why that it happened. But when he goes for his skate, he fell three times and he didn't get a medal.

[Paige]

Oh, I actually saw that.

[Hannah]

And he said watching Alyssa inspired him to treat the sport differently.

[Paige]

Honestly, I mean, it goes like. I still think about, like, Simone Biles when she did her documentary and she was. She called her mom and was like, I'm not doing it. And the mom was like, and don't do it. Like that. You really have to have that mentality with certain things. Like, honestly, like the fact that I'm doing the SAG Awards on Sunday. Well, actually, sorry, the actor Awards. Like, I've been so anxious because I'm like, oh, my God, like, it's on Netflix. So many people are going to be watching. If I mess up even for a second, like, that's all people are gonna say. Like, her mouth doesn't move or like, she's stupid. Like, I don't know. Just like running through my head. And then today when I was on the plane, I was like, oh, who cares? Like, you've wanted to do this since you were literally 6 years old. You're now getting to do it. And you're gonna be scared the whole time. Like, you love your dress.

[Hannah]

You're.

[Paige]

You flew out your hair and makeup. I literally flew out my glam because I was like, I don't want to use la glam people because I need to be around people that I'm with every single day. So that when I'm on the red carpet and I look over that, like, I see Taylor Fitzgerald specifically, like, I need to see her face.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

That actually just, like, really helped me. That girl being like, I'm just gonna have fun with it. I mean, obviously I'm gonna take a beta blocker. I'm not a psycho.

[Hannah]

You're like, I'm also gonna be numb.

[Paige]

I'm also gonna. Yeah.

[Hannah]

I always say people don't remember what you say. They remember how you made them feel. So when you do the, like, public speaking as just all the girls advice, with public speaking, it's you actually being in the moment and not not judging yourself in the moment and trying to be in that flow state, which is hard to get to, but it ultimately is doing what you love. Like, there's. This is so stupid sports related, but Djokovic is like the best tennis player of all time.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

And he was like, I just love hitting the ball. And that kind of like.

[Paige]

And that's the kind of men I like. I'm like, yeah, speak your truth and dumb it down, you know?

[Hannah]

Yeah. But the truth is, like, when I played tennis, I was thinking about winning. I was thinking about all these things. I wasn't thinking that I loved hitting the ball. I actually didn't like hitting the ball because it represented, like, fear and bad things to me. But now, like podcasting, going on stage, it is what I love to do. And when you're. When you love something, like, love overrides everything. Which leads me to my next point.

[Paige]

We love a segue.

[Hannah]

People are mad at me for the way I pronounce anxiety.

[Paige]

Anxiety.

[Hannah]

Apparently it's anxiety and I say anxiety. Anxiety, anxiety. Say it again.

[Paige]

I have to close my eyes.

[Hannah]

I have anxiety.

[Paige]

I don't hear it, but I love you.

[Hannah]

I know. Thank you.

[Paige]

I love you so much.

[Hannah]

I think it's just New York that

[Paige]

I say, like, you almost add like a G into it.

[Hannah]

Yeah. And they were like, I literally got messaged. They're like, han, I love everything about you except it's anxiety. It's not anxiety. And I said this would give me anxiety because now I'm going to overthink anxiety. It gives me anxiety now.

[Paige]

[Hannah]

Also, people were asking me and I didn't want to tell them because I want to protect the gigglers from any harm. Yeah, but they said, is Paige doing your spray tan? And I didn't want to have to tell them that you Chose your career over my career.

[Paige]

Here we are again. I'll be the villain in your story because I'm trying to put food on the table for my cat.

[Hannah]

For your cat.

[Paige]

When are you taping it? I'm away. Yeah, sorry.

[Hannah]

Saturday.

[Paige]

Are you getting a spray tan?

[Hannah]

Oh, my God. I feel like I'm on RuPaul's Drag Race. I have to get a spray tan. I have to get a dermaplane facial, which you have to do before the spray tan because then it takes off the spray tan and the dermaplane makes my makeup look better, apparently. Apparently. Also have to get my nails done because the blue's grown out, dyed my hair. Honestly, I have to do a whole.

[Paige]

Fucking Being a woman is insane.

[Hannah]

It's a Mary's Next Model.

[Paige]

Why I had to fly into la, if you like, days early. I'm like, well, I have to get a facial, then I have to get my spray tan, then I need to. I'm also getting, like, a massage the night before. That's a calming massage.

[Hannah]

First you have to get the muscle relaxer, then you have to get the spa.

[Paige]

I have to get Reiki. Like, I have to see an energy healer. Like, I have a lot to do.

[Hannah]

I'm talking to my psychic tomorrow.

[Paige]

Yeah, you have to. And sorry. Sorry that you're preparing.

[Hannah]

Like, sorry, I'm preparing emotionally, Spiritually, Physically. Also, no offense, but male comedians will play msg, wake up from a nap, and their hair will be sticking up in the back from the nap, and it'll be. That's.

[Paige]

Maybe if the men's hockey team prioritized anything, they'd win more often. Like, it's not our fault. Don't take it out on us.

[Hannah]

Anyway, the women's hockey team, you're invited to hang out with us.

[Paige]

Like, where are we going with them? You can come to any gayly squad show you want. We support you.

[Hannah]

Also, I. I stirred up a little controversy again. Of me being sweaty. And it got like. It was really.

[Paige]

Wait, I saw this. I was like, what are these weird screenshots? Also, you doing an ask me anything on the plane. I'm like, who is this person?

[Hannah]

Grace messaged me and was like, hey, how are you? And I said, great. And she's like, doesn't seem that way because you're doing an ask me anything on the plane.

[Paige]

I was like, I. Someone's got. I got Nana.

[Hannah]

No, literally, what was I saying?

[Paige]

You just had a page moment. Isn't it, like, so jarring? No, I, like, you're like, I'm speaking. And then all of a sudden, your brain, like, just go. You're like, I didn't.

[Hannah]

I don't know. No, Like, I literally. What was I saying? Oh, my Controversy. Oh, so you again. My arch nemesis, Threads after bullying my grandma. This is a problem with threads. We don't know we're on threads, but Instagram, like, puts you on threads.

[Paige]

Some girl did a whole video on Threads about me the other day of, like, one of our podcast clips. And was. And I was like, that's not even what that clip was about. I'm like, I. I can't do threads. I had a blocker. Because I was like, I don't.

[Hannah]

My sweat photos go on threads. And then I keep getting, like, weird notifications. And I'm like, if I get. If I have any notifications on threads, it's not good. Like, it's never a good thing.

[Paige]

I don't even know how to get to notifications.

[Hannah]

Keep it that way. I will throw my phone into the subway. So turns out people think because I said something like. Well, I was like, someone needs a new. I said, someone needs a new deodorant or something. Yeah. All the comments thought I was bullying a girl. So everyone's like, how dare you make fun of this. This woman. And everyone is bullying Hannah. And that's the bullying myself of the Internet. Bullying me for bullying myself as a result, bullying me.

[Paige]

How dare you talk to quadruple bully.

[Hannah]

And then the gigglers are jumping in, being like, hey, that's. She's making. She's. This is her. She's making fun of herself. And people are like, if you ever speak about another woman this way, you're disgusting and vile. And then people are like, like, that's just Hannah calling herself disgusting viral. Which, by the way, it is not disgusting to sweat. It means my body is detoxing. And we know everyone wants a detox.

[Paige]

Oh, my God. Also, like, check any girl's comments in her Instagram. Like, it's people just being insane. The Internet is so scary. That's why you have to find your niche.

[Hannah]

Yeah. The Internet is in, like, a weird low right now. I do have to say,

[Paige]

yeah, yeah. Like, I find myself, like, get going off of Tick Tock and Instagram. Because I'm like, wait. Some people are like, actually. It's actually, like, it's scary. It's why I started reading. I'm like, y' all forced me to pick up a goddamn book. That's when you know the country has gone awry. Paige is at home Reading. She's trying to fill her time. She's trying to get hobbies. I love scrolling.

[Hannah]

Wait, someone wrote. Someone wrote. Getting people to defend you and trash you at the same time is a skill that needs to be studied. And then someone goes, I love that everyone rushed to defend you from yourself. Bullying. I'm tapping out.

[Paige]

I'm like, it's not for me anymore.

[Hannah]

So crazy. Also, my marriage is on the rocks. On the rocks. Because I found out my husband doesn't like feta, which I thought was a non controversial cheese. Feta's like an F. You don't.

[Paige]

It's universal.

[Hannah]

It's universe. It's not too stinky, it's not too bland. It's just like. I thought feta. I didn't know there was an option not to like feta.

[Paige]

Look, I'm a ride or die for Italian food.

[Hannah]

I thought you could say, I'm a writer, I get feta.

[Paige]

I should actually add it. I think Italian food is the best food of any cuisine, of anything. There are a few things that the Greeks do that I'm like, you nailed it with that one. And feta is one of them right now. Baklava is another one of them. But the feta, I'll put it on. I'll put it on my skin if I feel like I'm having a rough day.

[Hannah]

Texture. Like, I don't mind a person who's like, oh, I don't like a gouda. It's like, they're uncouth, but to not even a Brie.

[Paige]

I'm like, it's not for everyone, but

[Hannah]

I love a brain if you don't. But it's okay because I know it's a certain palette.

[Paige]

Totally.

[Hannah]

I ordered an omelette with feta and tomatoes, which is like my new thing. It's I. I highly recommend people to try it. And he was like, no, it's okay. I don't like feta. And there's something about being in a marriage for. What are we at? Four years when you learn something new. Four years.

[Paige]

Oh, my God. Wait, that seems crazy. You've been married for four years.

[Hannah]

He's officially the longest guy I've ever been with. Which this is what's weird about, about getting married is sometimes you marry a guy and he's not the longest relationship you've been in up to that point. So anyway, that's what's going on currently in my relationship.

[Paige]

So anyway, that's what's going on with you.

[Hannah]

You know what? Relationship people don't Talk. Enough about Rose Byrne and Bobby Carnevale. I don't know how to say his last name. Do you know who I'm talking about?

[Paige]

I do.

[Hannah]

You love Bobby Caravale.

[Paige]

Wait, let me google him really quickly because I do know who you're talking about.

[Hannah]

They're together. I don't think they're married, which is so fucking chic, but I think they have kids together. Aren't. Wait, why don't people talk about them more? I love them.

[Paige]

Do they have kids together? He was. Oh, who is this? He was married and divorced. He is like hot.

[Hannah]

I know. I knew you'd love him.

[Paige]

And you want to know what makes me love him even more?

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

He is with a funny woman. Takes a strong, strong man to be with a funny woman. It will actually take a strong man to be with a woman who is

[Hannah]

beautiful and funny and talented. Like Rose Byrne.

[Paige]

Well, like the center of attention, like okay, perfect example is like you said her name and I'm like, yeah, I know exactly who it is. You said his name. And I was like, I think I know, but let me google it really quickly. And I feel like being with like a funny woman who's like quick witted and like can add to the conversation. If you're not a strong man, that will make you so insecure.

[Hannah]

Well, what I realized with funny women is like if we make you laugh, like if we make a guy giggle, it means they. Sometimes they feel like we tricked them because like comedy comes from like the unexpected. So they feel like we, like we outsmarted them and then suddenly they're giggling and they're like, what happened? Like they lost control of the conversation. And so when a guy.

[Paige]

Yeah, because men feel like if you're, if you're commanding a room in terms of jokes, two men. And I hate when men say this word, but like two men, it comes off like you're the alpha and they can't have that. Like certain men can't have that.

[Hannah]

Well, the loudest man in the room is normally has the smallest penis.

[Paige]

And a lot of men think that like when they are going to get married they are going to be the alpha in their relationship. And like, like you're going to be submissive. And if they're. And if you're in an opposite relation, like men can't handle it.

[Hannah]

I love a quiet, sturdy man. Also, I don't shut the up.

[Paige]

Yeah, talk. Talk when it's your part. Like talk when it's a topic that you know a lot about. And if it's not funny jokes.

[Hannah]

Then show your mouth in my Ask me anything. Because I'm an ask me anything influencer now. I honestly was on a high. I had a coffee and I was

[Paige]

like, you're like, let me bang this out. It was literally you.

[Hannah]

It would be.

[Paige]

That was like your equivalent to being in finance. You're like, let me just snort this Adderall and bang out all these questions.

[Hannah]

How many did you actually read?

[Paige]

Like four. I had a through. I know you though. I know everything.

[Hannah]

I know you know.

[Paige]

I was learning anything new. I did stop at the one where someone was like your favorite lip balm. I was like, I fucking love this lip balm.

[Hannah]

Like, I knew.

[Paige]

I'm like, I knew you saw that question. You were like been waiting for someone to ask.

[Hannah]

You are so sick of me, but you love me so much. It must be a crazy double. So someone told me that on her first date with a guy, she had a panic attack and he didn't know what to do or first vacation. He had panic attacks, didn't what to do and she was like, what should I do with him now? Look, would I love to tell everyone to break up with their boyfriend all the time? And do we do that a lot? Yes. However, context matters.

[Paige]

Okay, what were you saying? I don't know why that even reminded me. It.

[Hannah]

I. What was I saying? Who am I?

[Paige]

Honestly, it's not important.

[Hannah]

You love getting me all round up about something and right before I say it, you go quick right turn.

[Paige]

Cuz I know if I don't say

[Hannah]

it, I'll literally forget I said she was like, he didn't handle my panic attack well. Yeah, as girls with anxiety, I think. Sorry, that was really. That sounded like mean, but I wasn't trying to be mean, I'm just. Anyway, I feel like sometimes men do not understand anxiety and like you can't get mad at someone for not understanding it. Because men truly understand anger is the only emotion. And when it's anything else, they get very like, what's happening? Give him an opportunity to like, understand your culture.

[Paige]

Welcome to my world.

[Hannah]

Let me show you. If you do have a panic attack though, in front of a guy and he deals with it, great. I think that's your husband.

[Paige]

If a guy is truly into you, there is nothing that you can do that will turn them off. I. I think you should have a panic attack on the first date. And it's like. Because it's like if you can't handle me at my worst and like, you don't deserve me at My best. It's. It's a very Marilyn Monroe

[Hannah]

actually say that one.

[Paige]

I don't think so.

[Hannah]

Wait, did you see. Speaking of icons, Audrey Hepburn's been cast.

[Paige]

Lily Collins. Yep. Which I feel like.

[Hannah]

Did you tell your team to submit you? Like, what the happened?

[Paige]

Well, Lily Collins is a respected actress.

[Hannah]

Well, her father Collins.

[Paige]

I could tell that Lily Collins was gunning for an Audrey Hepburn role way before Emily in Paris, because her style. I could tell by the way she was posting on Instagram that it was very Audrey Hepburn coated. And she does look similar to her. So I kind of felt in my. I was like, I know one day she's gonna be. Play her. So I'm actually, I'm. I'm glad it's her because I feel like you're too tame. I feel like I'm honestly too Italian to play. I feel like you do watch a lot of, like, biopics where you're like, okay, that person looks nothing like the celebrity.

[Hannah]

That's Brad Pitt. Like, I can't.

[Paige]

Like, this is not the vibe where I feel like Lily Collins is the perfect cast for.

[Hannah]

Speaking of celebrity documentaries or no stories, have you watched Love Story?

[Paige]

Of course.

[Hannah]

What are your thoughts? Because I feel like everyone's watching it right now. I'm two episodes in.

[Paige]

Usually. I would have a lot of thoughts on a TV show about celebrities. For whatever reason, I feel. I. It's not that I feel icky watching it, because I love it. I'm, like, obsessed. I'm all caught up. I, like, watch it right when it comes out. But I feel like the fact that she didn't like the spotlight so much, I almost feel, like, bad. Like, I'm almost like, wait, would she have hated this show?

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

You know, but I also think it's an incredible story of, like, he was JFK Jr. He was, like, one of the most famous people in the world. Their family was, like, the most famous in the world. And I can't think of the actress's name that played Jackie Kennedy, but she had, like, wine in one of the episodes where it was like, the. The public has, like. What was the quote? The public has. In one hand, they're, like, ready to praise you, and in the other hand, they're ready to, like, throw a stone at you. And it's just so true, because I feel like that's how he felt. Like, I feel like people were all up in his. All the time.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And I kind of like, I feel. I don't know. I felt bad for them when he.

[Hannah]

When he didn't pass the bar. And the guy was like, it doesn't matter that everyone thinks you're an idiot. Like, how do you feel about yourself? And it's so easy to say, like, don't care what other people think. But when everyone's pointing at you being like, you fucking idiot, at some point you're gonna be like, cuz I'm an idiot. Yeah, I. I do think it was interesting casting. Like, he was very. He's like, not really. I think this is one of his first projects. And he's just like, yeah, they casted

[Paige]

him like two weeks before they started filming.

[Hannah]

Really?

[Paige]

Because I. I think they're both very good actors.

[Hannah]

I felt like she was way stronger.

[Paige]

Yeah, I think she's really good. And people being like, oh, she doesn't. Like I just said, like, Lily Collins looks like Audrey. She doesn't really look like Carolyn Bessette. See, I find. I think she does.

[Hannah]

Like, I think Sarah Pigeon's a star. Yeah, I couldn't get my eyes off of her. Also, I love Calvin Klein in the 90s. The style of it all.

[Paige]

Wait, hold on. But Calvin Klein is gay.

[Hannah]

I guess he had a wife. If I had a nickel.

[Paige]

No. And this is what I'm talking about. I'm like, wait a minute, wait a minute. You knew, though. You knew. There's no way. You didn't know.

[Paige]

Sorry, it's. It's fun. February. Get into it, get into it.

[Hannah]

Such like a marketing ploy. Like, yeah, I do actually love it. Like, it looks cute, but like they're literally going to be like, and it's raccoon March.

[Paige]

I saw a raccoon the other day on the street, literally trying to domesticate its own self.

[Hannah]

Oh, they have thumbs.

[Paige]

No, literally, someone was like, wait I feel like this raccoon shouldn't be, like, awake right now. It's like 11am in the morning. I was up, I was like, I feel like that raccoon has rabies, because I'm pretty sure they're nocturnal.

[Hannah]

But anyway, you're like, that raccoon just called Uber Eats. I don't think it's normal.

[Paige]

That raccoon just rang the doorbell. He's like, I want to come in. Wait, what were we just talking about? Because I was gonna say something before. Oh. As someone who also loves, like, I love trying a trend. I actually like the Bambi, like, thing. My thing is one item of clothing will go viral, and then every influencer will have it. And I'm like, yeah, are we. How'd you get it so fast?

[Hannah]

Where did What.

[Paige]

Who even makes it? What is that brand? And here I'm an influencer. Like, I should know. But I'm like, where'd you guys all get this jacket?

[Hannah]

Well, yeah, you'll see something you like, and then you realize everyone's already worn it.

[Paige]

Yeah. And so then I'm like, okay, well, let me just see where it is. And then you go on. It's like, pre order, and it's like, okay, well, I don't want the jacket in June. Or it's like, the trend will be

[Hannah]

over thousand dollars for something that's.

[Paige]

The Internet is weird. Everyone's weird.

[Hannah]

What do you think about hair tucking? Like, people being like, it's really cool to put a jacket and keep your hair tucked in.

[Paige]

Like, the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen tuck has been trending for 10 years.

[Hannah]

Yeah. And also, you get like, I'm really

[Paige]

confused on why everyone's like, oh, my God, the hair tuck.

[Hannah]

Because they'll make anything into an aesthetic. Leave Bambi out of this. Well, you know what also is trending? The everyday tiara. So girls just wearing tiaras, like, on a Tuesday for no reason, like, in different kind, like, Fashion Week. Apparently it was, like, a thing, which, like, I'm not gonna take away from women's Joy. I feel like it's something you would do.

[Paige]

Yeah, I actually.

[Hannah]

You've done.

[Paige]

I've actually been waiting for this to come on trend, and I didn't know that it was happening. And now I need to go on Amazon because that is so something I could get down with.

[Hannah]

Well, did you see Hailey Bieber's most recent cover shoot where her hair was, like, purposely unbrushed and, like, knotted?

[Paige]

Yeah. You were like, it's my time to sh.

[Hannah]

Yes. Or I Was like, okay, copyright infringement. Like, don't just.

[Paige]

Okay. So I'm a style icon, actually. I'm timeless. Also, one of the funny things about, like, the Carolyn Bassett, like, oh, my God. Dress like Carolyn Bessette.

[Hannah]

Oh, yeah.

[Paige]

It's like, obviously, yeah, she has great style, but her style isn't trendy. I would say she's, like, the least trendy person ever. Like, she truly was, like, the epitome of a fashion girl that worked at a brand. But, like, her outfits had to be muted because it was about the other clothes.

[Hannah]

Yes.

[Paige]

But people on Tick Tock get so, like, oh, I can't believe girls are making, like, videos about Carolyn Bassett style. Like, they don't have any. It's like, you can't do anything as a woman. You can't like it, you can't dislike it. You can't try and dress like it. You can't like. It's so crazy.

[Hannah]

You can't win a gold medal.

[Paige]

Yeah, you. You can't do anything as a woman. You truly cannot. There will always be someone yelling at you, and most of the time it is another woman, which is, like, really apparent upsetting to me.

[Hannah]

Girl on girl crime. I have a gripe to bring up. Okay, Actually, I have a petition.

[Paige]

Actually, I have a bill that I need passed.

[Hannah]

I have a bill. Let's stop putting hand soap next to hand lotion in public. In public bathrooms, in hotel bathrooms. How many times do you go to wash your hand and you click the hand lotion? Also, who's using hand lotion in these airport bathrooms?

[Paige]

I'm gonna disagree with you on this because the moment I got a guest bathroom, the minute I said, this guest bathroom is going to be so cool. I've got soap, I've got hand lotion, I've got skin care. I've got. You come to my apartment. You go in the guest bathroom, you're never leaving. You're not leaving. You're stealing all the things I have in there.

[Hannah]

Nothing ruins my day more than realizing I'm washing my hands with lotion. And then I not only wasted lotion, but now I have, like, sperm kind of texture on my hands.

[Paige]

You know, you and my mom are very similar. Like, I gave my mom a bunch of products one day, and she was like, oh, I'm, like, using this one product, but it's, like, really drying me out. And I'm like, well, how are you using it? And she's like, well, I'm just, like, putting it on, and then, like, it's drying me out. And I'm like, well, maybe because that's a face wash and not a lotion, mother. And you're putting it on and then it's drying because it's a soap.

[Hannah]

You're like, kim, that's hydrogen peroxide. Can't just put it in your eye.

[Paige]

I'm like, well, why don't you just, like, read the label? So my thing to you is, why don't you just read the goddamn label?

[Hannah]

Because they make it look too. First of all, I'm always in a rush. I'm always rushing. And they make it, like, put it in red blinking lights. The aesthetics always say in their next. At least put them. I don't know, put it somewhere else, like, where I can't reach it because I inevitably will always. It's like when you take conditioner accidentally and you start trying to put it as shampoo. Do you never do that?

[Paige]

Never, never.

[Hannah]

See, this is a daily thing for me. I was, oh, my God.

[Paige]

Because you want to know what? In my shower, one row is just shampoo, the other row is just my conditioners. Then I have, like. So everything has a row. Everything has a home.

[Hannah]

It's giving American Psycho. Yeah. No.

[Paige]

Sometimes I think I could be. I could have a little. People could be right. I could have something a little bit wrong with me.

[Hannah]

Virgo in your chart.

[Paige]

I don't. And I saw you post your Ask me anything that you have a little Virgo in your chart.

[Hannah]

And.

[Paige]

And I don't.

[Hannah]

Are you on the.

[Paige]

Are you on the cusp? Because I see that for you, my best friend in high school, one of my best friends in high school, she was a Virgo. And when I tell you, her notebook. Oh, I've never seen a notebook like this. First of all, her handwriting, spectacular. Her highlighting, her outlines. She went on actually, to be a teacher, as she should.

[Hannah]

So Virgos come in all shapes and forms. Tell me, when it comes to my work, not my personal life, my work, am I not on the ball?

[Paige]

True.

[Hannah]

Like responding to emails, having things ready by deadlines. That's where my.

[Paige]

That's actually very true. You are very on top of your career.

[Hannah]

They're also little obsessive virgos. Like, they. They're detail oriented. You know how, like, random things. I'll be like, I need to get this right.

[Paige]

Yeah, no, you can, like, obsess. I think if you, like, really went to a doctor, you could be diagnosed a little bit with ocd.

[Hannah]

No, I fully have ocd. N A, N A, N A, C H. Adhd.

[Paige]

And you Have a torn acl.

[Hannah]

Wait, one more thing about Carolyn.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

She had to do this character where there's literally, like, only five seconds of footage of Carolyn Bessette ever talking on camera.

[Paige]

Yeah. Like, she had. Yeah.

[Hannah]

So she had to just, like, read lots of books. So that was also, like, part.

[Paige]

I would assume her. Their families weren't, like, involved where it's like, she couldn't ask, like, oh, I know. She like, the accurate.

[Hannah]

So the accuracy you have to take with a grain of salt for this.

[Paige]

And a lot of people are. Have, like, come out and been like, okay. Their love story was actually, like, super toxic.

[Hannah]

Yeah. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, you know, Stuart, who was on the road with me, told me there's a really good podcast to listen to about the Kennedy men. There's a podcast somewhere. I'll put it in the newsletter about the Kennedy men. And, like, there's. There's lore there.

[Paige]

Well, it's from the show. It really does seem like JFK Jr. Didn't want to be in, like, politics. Like, it doesn't seem like he wanted to be a lawyer. It actually seems like he liked art and, like, he liked.

[Hannah]

Liked he wanted to be an actor.

[Paige]

Film and tv. Yeah. So that, like, that alone makes me sad for him. Like, I couldn't imagine being born into a family. And it's like. Like, how, like, the royals do it. Like, remember when Prince Harry left and everyone was like, death to Prince Harry. And it's like, okay, guys, chill out. He wants to just, like, pick strawberries with his wife.

[Hannah]

Also, he had this sad moment where he. Not to, like, be a Nepo baby apologist, but he was like, by 26, my dad already, like, had been a war veteran. Like, got his degrees, had kids, like,

[Paige]

all JFK Jr saying this about his dad.

[Hannah]

Yeah. And he's like, and I'm 28, and I have nothing. And it's like, he didn't ask to be put on that. Like, have that kind of pressure. Pressure and, like, expectations. So he feels like a loser even though he's just living.

[Paige]

That's why I do have a little sympathy for Brooklyn Beckham. Like, I do feel a little bit bad for him because I'm like, I couldn't. I wonder what it's like having two of the most famous people in England be your parents for two, like, very specific genres of things. And then it's. People are like, and what do you do?

[Hannah]

There's so much pressure because it's not relatable. People don't talk about it. Like, how to raise your kids if you're famous. Like, I don't know, maybe there's like a book that like Reese Witherspoon is like, passing around to her friends. But, like, there's a Google Doc that

[Paige]

Reese is like, hold on, here's what you do.

[Hannah]

Reese Witherspoon has a Google dog she's sending to famous moms.

[Paige]

She's a great example.

[Hannah]

But it's like, there's no, like, rulebook that we know of of how to not raise kids who are fucked up. And some of them just. Because if they're really successful Nepo babies still doesn't mean they're not fucked up.

[Paige]

I do low key sometimes feel really bad for certain Nepo babies. People are really mean to some more than others. I kind of feel like if you were a. If you're a Nepo baby and no one's heard of you until, like, you literally do what your job is. People are like, more okay. Where like, like people are so mean to Hailey Bieber, but I feel like it's because they're. They saw her in the press.

[Hannah]

People also don't want to see you trying to get your dreams as an EPO baby. Like, they don't want to see you attempting. And they also don't want to see you say, I don't have an advantage from being a Nepo baby. Which, like, they shouldn't say that stuff. Which made me think about like, hate on Addison Rae. All these people hate Nepo babies. But then you also hate people who come from Tick tock. So who's allowed to do well? It's a lose lose. It's a lose lose. Like, if you. So what's the right way to come up? You have to wait for a powerful director to pick you randomly out of a hat.

[Paige]

You know what's funny is after we were talking about Cardi B and how she was like, on reality tv, I literally got like served a tick tock clip of one of the, like, male DJs on love and Hip Hop being like, I'll never take Cardi B seriously. And then the edit was like her winning her first Grammy. It's also like, I do think not to bring it back to like, everyone hates women, but I do think people are way harder on female Nepo babies than male.

[Hannah]

Oh yeah.

[Paige]

Like, I can't even think of a

[Hannah]

boy Nepo baby right now besides Brooklyn Beckham.

[Paige]

It's like I can't think of like one doesn't immediately pop into my head is what I'm saying. Yeah, because people just, like, aren't.

[Hannah]

It's.

[Paige]

Maybe it's like, not as fun being mean to men on the Internet. I don't know. I find it enjoyable, but I don't

[Hannah]

feel like we should dabble in it.

[Paige]

Maybe try it out, like watching some things on the Internet where you're like, you're letting him get away with that? That's.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Crazy because if a girl did that, you would have had her canceled four days ago. She would have been done.

[Hannah]

The steak would have been on fire.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

Well, on that positive note, and that's

[Paige]

all we have for today, we're gonna

[Hannah]

leave you with that just to think about. Thank you guys so much for giggling with us and we'll talk to you later this week. Bye.
