Hannah
Manifest that shit. We can't be managed.
Paige
I mean, the day just got away from me.
Hannah
What's up, my glossy Giglas? Oh, I don't know.
Paige
Okay.
Hannah
I don't know. I'm having fun.
Paige
You look so gorgeous today. And I came in being like, it's Friday. I'm going to be like in sweats. I'm doing like no makeup.
Hannah
I'm wearing a see through poncho.
Paige
I know. You sat down and I was like, oh.
Hannah
I was also 10 minutes late. And I said, look, if you want me to look pretty, I will be 10 minutes late. If you want me look ugly, I'll be early. Pick your poison.
Paige
You know what I used for the first time? You know that it's like this makeup. It's called Ella Roses. I used a little bit of their, like, blush and eyebrow gel.
Hannah
Obsessed.
Paige
They were just like, it's a Friday morning. I'm not trying to do too much.
Hannah
I know. I think less is more.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
Especially with your cheekbones.
Paige
And it was like rainy and cold. And I was like, gotta go.
Hannah
Should we get into it?
Paige
Enough of the niceties.
Hannah
Should we just start with like our
Paige
day, our raw, real emotions?
Hannah
Oh, sorry.
Paige
Coming to you Live is your 2026 podcast of the Year winners. Which.
Hannah
So I was, are we sure we're not gonna win? And she was like, just like, believe in ourselves. And I'm like, I don't believe in myself.
Paige
I didn't just like, buy a Ferragamo dress to not fudgeing win.
Hannah
They started Announcing everyone who's nominated. And I kept just. They'd be like, the daily. And I'd look at Paige and be like, we're not being at the daily. And she's just like, why are you being so negative? I'm like, because I don't want you to get upset when we lose and then, like, have a little tantrum and then I have to calm you down in the car.
Paige
No. I, like, felt it in my gut. You know, I'm a witch.
Hannah
You are.
Paige
So I felt it in my gut when we walked in there. I was like, oh, we won. And it's so giggly coded that the gigglers were like, didn't even know.
Hannah
They go. None of us voted. We don't even know what happened.
Paige
None of my business. Didn't come across my desk. None of my business.
Hannah
But let's rewind to how we got to that moment. Let's. Because obviously it wasn't smooth, it wasn't easy.
Paige
No.
Hannah
And I'm talking about that actual day, not the full journey.
Paige
So we have a flight.
Hannah
Paige and I decide we're going to Austin for the day.
Paige
Just for the day.
Hannah
I knew it was going to be a problem when you texted me asking when you should leave. And I was like, that's. You should never leave.
Paige
I'm like, looking for an adult in the room. And I'm like, I'll text Hannah. When should I. When should we leave for the airport?
Hannah
And we leave very close. We live. We live very close to the airport. Also, I fly, so six times a week.
Paige
Our flight was at 7:20. We're boarding at 6:40.
Hannah
Yes.
Paige
I leave at 5:30.
Hannah
I. Yes.
Paige
Hannah's like, I'm going to leave at 5:50. I'm like, okay. Something in my gut is.
Hannah
So I woke up at 5:50.
Paige
I'm FaceTiming her in the line. I'm like, it's not good here. It's not good.
Hannah
And I'm in the elevator. So I'm like, oh, can't hear you. I'm in the elevator. Hang up on her. And you text me. And you're like, it's really bad. Which reminds me of my mom who, like, has to be at the airport four hours early. And I'm like, you silly mom. You don't have to be there. So I'm like, I'm glad that Paige is being, like, prepared. One of us has to. But, like, I live 10 minutes from the airport. I'll see you soon, right? It's before 7:00am Right? Like, there's Nothing.
Paige
What could happen?
Hannah
What could possibly happen? So first of all, we, you know when you get to the place and, like, there's so many cars that you can't get out of the Uber. And also, I didn't have an Uber driver that was, like, on my team. Like, he was very relaxed.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
Like, it was like there were openings. He wasn't taking it.
Paige
And I was like, you're the first flight out. You're fine.
Hannah
So then I. We're not even parked. And I'm like, sir, I need to get out. And he was like, you can't get out here. And I'm like, yeah. Again, like, watch me. So I got out. I was like, five stars. Thank you. Get to the front. Now, when I tell you the lines were out the door, I fly a lot. Instead of me just being like, let's go in a line, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna outsmart this. I'm gonna strategize. But I look down and I don't have my pre check on, which is like, boarding pass. That was like some. Some God shit. Like, they were like, actually, Mercury is in retrograde.
Paige
Oh, I know. No, I felt it.
Hannah
So I decide, okay, I can wait in line to try to get them to put pre check on it. So I start with that. Also, I went to the kiosk and the kiosk said, go yourself. Yeah. You ever try a kiosk? And they're like, no. Has a kiosk ever worked for anyone?
Paige
I get that TSA is having a moment. They're having a problem. I'm not even coming to TSA's fault.
Hannah
This is the government's fault.
Paige
The people that work, though, for the airline, that some of the rudest, some of the meanest people I've actually met.
Hannah
And by the way, when I'm at an airport, it's fight or flight. Like, I'm not thinking logically. I'm. So you're texting me and you're like, I just got through. Are you okay? And I'm like, I'm locked in. I'm figuring this out. So the kiosk doesn't work. I'm like, I'm going to wait, get pre check. And then the pre check line is long, though, but. But I'm like, this is my only way, right? So I'm waiting in line. It's not moving. So I'm like, okay. Then I go to the pre check line and I ask the guy, like, can I go here? And he goes, no, you don't have Pre check. And I'm like. And he's like, shut up, bitch. And I'm like. So then I'm like, okay, I overhear someone saying that there's clear somewhere. And I'm like, where's clear? And they're like, Door 752. And I'm like, I'm going. So I'm walking down.
Paige
I feel like clear is the biggest scale scam ever.
Hannah
Shout out to clear. Save my life though.
Paige
Okay.
Hannah
But anyway.
Paige
But now that everyone has it, the line is almost like, yeah, but I
Hannah
feel like they've gotten better where now? Anyway, long story short, I finally see Clear now, mind you, Paige is texting me. She goes, how's it going? And I realized, Paige, I've been here for 30 minutes. I'm still not even in a line.
Paige
You've just been standing in the airport for 25 minutes. What should we do? Because that decision is make or break of if you're getting on the plane.
Hannah
If I committed to the wrong line, I'm fucked. So instead I was just walking in a little circle, fighting with myself.
Paige
I get so.
Hannah
And you're texting me, like, are we doing well?
Paige
Any update?
Hannah
I'm like, I'm actually farther than I was when I first got to the airport.
Paige
Like, I'm actually back in the Uber and I'm going home.
Hannah
Like, I'm not now, mind you, at this point it's 6:40. So we're boarding, we're boarding and I'm still haven't gotten on a line. I'm trying to find where this clear line is. I go, I find the clear line and they're like, this is pre check. And I'm like, I. I do it pre check. And they're like, we don't care. So I find the non clear pre check. It's like 6:50 by now. And I see a giggler. And she's like, hey, I just want to say like, I love your pod. And I'm like, hey, Paige is gonna kill me.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
Like she's on this flight alone. I can't let her fly alone. Also, like, my flight's boarding. And they're like, when? I'm like 15 minutes ago.
Paige
And then she's like, I'm sitting on the plane asking the flight attendant like, hey, like, do you think you guys are like running on time? Or like, what's your vibe for shutting the door? And she looks at me and she goes. And she's like, what? And I'm like, my friend, she's coming. And she looks me Dead in the face and goes, we're not holding the plane for your friend. And I'm like, oh, this is my thing.
Hannah
You're very powerful. So I was like, paige, work your fucking magic.
Paige
You get that plane to stop.
Hannah
Tell them there's a VIP who wakes, who sleeps too late. But by the way, you're, like, comfortable.
Paige
Mind you, they were late shutting the
Hannah
door and they did wait for my friend.
Paige
So.
Hannah
So by the way, I finally get to. I get to the right line and now I'm like, sorry, I'm boarding. And people. But I look around me, I'm like, I feel like everyone's missing their flight. So then I kind of. You can't just skip people. Everyone's missing their flight. But then I asked one person, I was like, hey, I'm boarding. They're like, what time's you boarding? And I was like, 30 minutes ago.
Paige
It was a great day for people on standby.
Hannah
Yes. Yes.
Paige
Because so many people, I feel like, missed their flights. And then those people got on.
Hannah
Yeah. And as you know, like, we don't always feel good about men. But there was like a 38 year old man and he was like, at the front of the clear line. And, like, I really don't like cutting the line, but this was like, this is an emergency. This was your life on the line too.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
It didn't just affect me.
Paige
No. I'm sitting on the plane thinking, like, okay, I'm not going to Texas. By my goddamn.
Hannah
You literally, like, should I get off?
Paige
I'm like, if you're not making it, I'm getting off the plane.
Hannah
So I'm still. I'm. It's 15 minutes, we've already been boarding. So I go to this guy and I go, hey, do you mind if I cut in front of you? And he goes, you, of course, hate when that happens. And I go, I don't know where this came from. I go, thank you, my king. I said, thank you, my king. Like, what is I become a girl?
Paige
Men are better than women. We need you guys.
Hannah
I go, thanks for inventing airports. And then a giggler was like, can I get a photo? I'm like, yeah, I'm missing my flight. And we take the photo and she's like, that's so Hannah coded. I skipped this guy. And I'm like, great. Still the lines not moving. Like, TSA is not functioning right now. And it's not their fault because people are not getting paid. So when I tell you, like, it didn't matter how many people I skipped no one was moving. Yeah, who cares if you're in the
Paige
front if the front stop anywhere.
Hannah
So then finally I put my stuff in the security, the baggage, whatever, and it gets through and I'm with another guy and. But it's not going through. And some guy goes, did you leave your laptop in the bag? And this is for the other guy. And he's like, no, no one told me. And then I'm like, oh, you left
Paige
your laptop in the back?
Hannah
Yeah, cuz I'm a TSA pre princess.
Paige
Oh, so you didn't. Did your bag have to go back through?
Hannah
So his bag has to go back through. And I know that's gonna happen to mine. And I'm like, I don't have this kind of time. Yeah, like Paige is literally scared and alone and fighting with the thing on TikTok.
Paige
And like I was like, sure, I'll have a glass of champagne. And then I said, thank you so much. I'm.
Hannah
I'm d. Oh, wait. One of the guys was like, ma', am, you have to stand back a little. You know when they get weird with like where your foot is? And I just look at him and I go, My flight's boarding 30 minutes ago. And he's like, oh, damn. Finally my bag comes and I become like a 4 year old. I'm like, I'm sorry, my laptop is there. I just, I'm gonna miss my flight. And they're like, you dumb bitch, we don't care. We're not getting paid. And I'm like, valid, valid. This is all happening. I'm not telling you these details because I don't want to stress you out further. When I tell you they put it back in. They. They took the laptop out. I grabbed my laptop, grabbed my backpack, just holding my laptop bare. I'm raw, dogging my laptop. And we're back at it again, running through the airport.
Paige
We were, and I, I texted you and I was like, and I don't want to make matters worse, but we're the last possible gate. We're like 55 with this airport run.
Hannah
I put my phone in my pocket, cuz we're 30 minutes past boarding now. Like, that's. The door's closed. Yeah. But I'm like, we're in Texas. In Texas. But I'm giving it like a last ditch and I go, I don't even want to know that I failed yet. I'm just going to try. And I'm thinking, knees up. I'm like, knees up. Knees up. I get so tired. I Have to stop, catch my breath. That is the most embarrassing when people see you stop and then start again. I'm running, I'm running, I'm running, I'm running. It goes. It felt like I was running for two hours.
Paige
Even when I was walking there, I stopped. It's a far gate. It's long.
Hannah
Now we're 35 minutes past boarding, you guys. Like, I'm not making this flight. I'm texting Grace and she's like, there's no other flight. Flights to Austin. And I'm like, damn, I bought this, like, crazy dress. I'm not gonna be able to wear it. Paige is gonna be there all scared, alone.
Paige
No, I would have gotten. I would have landed in Austin and gotten on another flight back home. Like, I wasn't doing that without you.
Hannah
But you also were like, should I get off this plane? And it gave a really romantic rom com moment. Like, should I get off the plane and just be with you?
Paige
And then Grace was also like, my flight's delayed. And I was like, I'm not being the representative. That would happen to you by myself.
Hannah
You're like, I'm not accepting Podcasts of the Year board alone.
Paige
Then.
Hannah
Then I get to the gate, everything's like, closed. And I'm like, can I get on? And the guy's like, yes. So in that moment, I'm like, this. This was out of my power. Like, that was. That was Jesus Christ. Like, that was God, I think, because I accepted my fate, I was like, I've missed my flight. That the universe was like, now we'll give it to you because you're not fighting us. And the government lockdown.
Paige
When get on. The flight attendant looked at me and was like, is that your friend? I was like, never seen her before?
Hannah
No.
Paige
But the girl sweating and panting. Nope.
Hannah
Also, by the way, I have. I'm not going to brag. I'm going to brag. I'm a diamond medallion. Yeah, okay, give me some. I'm a diamond. Like, they go, thank you for being a diamond medallion.
Paige
Like, wherever I respect. On my name, wherever I go, I
Hannah
say, say, thank you for being a diamond medallion. They say, and I say, thank you. So I get upgrades a lot. And I. I had a. I was sitting in 2A.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
I get there and they're like, oof, we have a problem. And immediately I'm like, I'm not going to make the flight. And they go, we gave your seat to someone else. And I was like, at this point, I don't give a fuck. Put Me in the back. And he's like, you are in the back. You're in.
Paige
See, like, in that situation, it feels like they should have switched you guys.
Hannah
Yeah. I'm thinking it's because I wasn't even past security maybe when they needed. I don't know. And I'm just like, as long as
Paige
I deal with a lot. Right now, they're dealing with a lot.
Hannah
So I walk in, and, yeah, you're sitting there, and you don't even make eye contact with me. You're like, I can't with you.
Paige
Well, because I knew in the morning. I was like, no, I think we should leave a little bit earlier when
Hannah
I tell you I'm so sorry. And you're right.
Paige
Thank you. Oh, my gosh. Thank you.
Hannah
You're right. Like, the whole time, you were right.
Paige
My favorite part of that whole day, though, was then we landed in Austin. We had to immediately go because we were late leaving. We had to immediately go to a meeting. Airport clothes. Didn't have time to change. We've got luggage. We're starving. We where like, also, it's freezing.
Hannah
I was seat 20 next to the two biggest men, and the guy was actually sitting in my seat. The. Because I got the window seat, and there was an empty seat in the middle, and the other guy was in the aisle. So I was like, sorry, bro, you got to move. I'm sitting in the window seat. I shouldn't even fucking be here right now.
Paige
Yeah. And did he give it to you?
Hannah
He gave it to me, but, like, begrudgingly. And then he's also wearing a leather jacket, so, like, it makes it worse that your leather jacket. Your big shoulder leather jacket is, like, in my neck. And then, of course, he falls asleep
Paige
on your shoulder, snoring.
Hannah
But also in that moment, I said, this is what I deserve.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
For sleeping in and being a little bitch is what I deserve. So then me and him are cuddling.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
I was like, get in here. At one point, I leaned forward, and he just, like, fell behind me. And I was like, I just.
Sponsor Voice / Narrator
Me.
Hannah
And he's on my lap. I was sitting on his lap, and we had a fun. Kiki. Yeah, his name was Andre. But we. We land.
Paige
We land. We go to our meeting straight from. And, like, serious meeting.
Sponsor Voice / Narrator
Like, people, like, people were contacting us
Paige
prior to this meeting being like, hey, do you want to, like, go over anything? Should we prep? And we're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, we got it.
Hannah
There were executives there.
Paige
We're sitting there, and we're like, we're going to order food because we're starving. And mind you, it's like a. It's like 11:30. It's like brunch time.
Hannah
And brunch is a whole different kind of order. You don't just order a sandwich.
Paige
Like, I actually got a baguette for the table, and no one was.
Hannah
No one else was eating but me and you.
Paige
But it was for us. I mean, they had jam on the side. Like, I'm not just seeing baguette and jam on a menu and saying, no, thank you. Like, that's rude.
Hannah
And I ordered. I said, I want an omelette, I want a water. I want iced latte with vanilla and oatmeal drinks, and I want orange juice and. And a side of sausage. Now, the waiter.
Paige
Sometimes waiters do this thing where they're like, I've been a waiter for so long, you tell me your order, I'm memorizing it.
Hannah
Or they go, let's see what I remember.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
I'm like, I don't want to play
Paige
whenever they say, I'm like, I didn't sign up to test your memory.
Hannah
I don't want to play Russian roulette.
Paige
Yeah. I'm just trying to order breakfast.
Hannah
The guy didn't write it down. And I looked at him, I said, this is going to be an order.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And he was like, he's like, okay, let me know if I get anything wrong. I'm like, no, that's not my job.
Paige
So Hannah gets the omelette, I get the breakfast sandwich. They're bringing over our. I spot the waiter bringing Hannah's over, and in my head, I'm like, that's not what she ordered. But we're in the middle of this meeting and she,
Hannah
okay, there's five executives talking, like, serious stuff about, like, the art of podcasting. As they put our food down. The guy brought bread with, like, tons. It was a salad, you know, I didn't order that with just one hard boiled egg with, like, curry on it. So it comes down and immediately this guy's talk. The executive's talking to me. I'm seeing colors, like, I don't know what's going on.
Paige
You're furious. I'm, like, picking up my breakfast sandwich so daintily. I'm taking a bite. I'm looking over at Hannah.
Hannah
She's aghast now, gigglers. In that moment, would you tell the executive to stop talking? So in front of everyone, you could say, this isn't what I ordered. I'm not a fucking Monster. Also, I'm lucky to be there. I barely made it that morning, so I decided to suck it up. And I'm slowly eating these, like, gross leaves of fucking, like, arugula. And then for brunch. Who wants arugula for brunch? And the guy's like, oh, that looks really good.
Paige
Everyone was like, oh, my God, I'm gonna get that next time. And in my head, I'm like, she fucking hates it. Then. Then I'm done eating. Like, I kind of, like, push my plate forward a little, like, okay. Like, I'm finished with this. We're still talking in the meeting. Hannah's sitting, like, directly next to me.
Hannah
Very serious meeting, by the way.
Paige
I just feel her elbow. I feel her elbow, like, brush up against me, and I, like, look over at her in the corner of my eye because this man is speaking to us.
Hannah
Eyes locked.
Paige
And I look over in the corner of my eyes. She looks at me, and she. Then she looks at my breakfast. She looks at my breakfast sandwich, and I know she's asking me if she can eat the rest of it. And so I don't say anything, and I just move my.
Hannah
Like, you touch the plate slightly, and
Paige
I push it over to her. And then she starts eating it. And the executive goes, oh, so you guys are close.
Hannah
He goes, did you just ask her to eat her sandwich and then start eating it? And I was like, yep, but with no words. No words. And then I swear to God, he goes, you guys have really good podcast chemistry. And I was like, and that's just another reason Giggly squad is working. Also, by the way, I was talking throughout this whole thing. I was like, yeah. And then the logistics of.
Paige
But we had a full conversation. You were like, the waiter didn't write it down. I'm pissed. I knew he was gonna do this. He up my order. I. We had that full conversation while we were sitting there.
Hannah
Also, like, if you invite us to a breakfast meeting, we're getting full girl brunch. Yeah.
Paige
And nobody else ate.
Hannah
No one else ate. And they were just watching me, like, have a fight with the food. He didn't have to call us out. That was funny, though. Also, we finish each other's sandwiches.
Paige

So then we go to the hotel, we get ready, we do glam, we take pictures, we go to the awards.
Hannah
And by the way, I'm like, I'm tired. Even though I slept late, I still only got four hours of sleep. You know, I hate glam. And I tell you, I was like, look, I'm like, not really in a social mood. Like, let's just, we can do this.
Paige
You literally said to both of our assistants, Grace and Josephine, just like the perfect people. Hannah goes, hey, you guys, sit on either side of me so that I don't really have to socialize a lot tonight. And I'm like, in my head, I'm like, mm, Mm.

I'm like, I'm getting in my head. Like, I'm nervous. I don't have it in me. I'm really tired. I can't do this.
Paige
We get there, Hannah is now the mayor of the event. Okay? She's going over to people's tables. She's checking on them. She's asking if they need anything. She's taking selfies with everyone. She's like, I'm sitting at the chairs, just being like. She's going to walk over and say, why did you guys let me do this? And you literally, you walk over and you're like, guys, I'm socializing so much. Then the awards Start. Okay, the awards start. We present an award to the basement yard. They win, which we love their wives too. It's our turn. Like, our. Is the last award we win. Amazing. We have a flight to catch after.
Sponsor Voice / Narrator
Okay.
Paige
We have to leave immediately and go to the airport. I'm looking around and, like, where the is Hannah? She's in the middle of, like, a mosh pit. Like, she's. Honestly. She's, like, turning. She's talking so many people. You're, like, turning. Yep. One second. Let me just finish over here. I've now put myself just behind a curtain, just a random curtain that I've found. I'm like, I'm just gonna stand behind here. I text Grace, and I'm like, we have to go.
Hannah
To me is like, paige is really upset. She. And I'm like, fazes is so over me in this moment.
Paige
No, because you say one thing, you do another.
Hannah
Well, what I realized is I. When I can either be 150 or nothing.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And I do get social anxiety where I'm like, I don't want to have to turn it on. Like, I don't want to have to be that girl.
Paige
But once it's on, it's on.
Hannah
It's on. I can't.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
I can't scale back on her. And look, Eliza Schlesinger was there, and I was catching up with her. We said the basement yard. We were just, like, meeting random people in the podcast space. And next thing you know, I'm like, I love socializing. This is where I shine. Like.
Paige
But, okay, Grace, like, found me in the corner. I'm just, like, covering my face with a napkin. I'm like, we have to go.
Hannah
You were like, I committed to the plan. I didn't talk to anyone. So then when we first were announcing the first award, by the way, we're standing backstage, and it was a. It gave you, like, a little moment of, like, when we were on tour, and you were like, I'm a little bit nervous to go on stage. And I just look at you, and I go, by the way, I'm not reading the teleprompter.
Paige
And no, she turns to me, and she goes, hey, you know that, like, the lines that I wrote and, like, gave to the guy to put in the teleprompter? Yeah. I actually just decided I don't like any of it. I'm like, no, no, read the teleprompter. She's like, yeah, I'm not gonna.
Hannah
If I go off script, just go with it. And you're like, can you. Just saying, not the time to go off script. I'm feeling a creative urge, just, like, express myself in a different way.
Paige
So we're out there off script. Completely off script.
Hannah
No, but before we go out there.
Paige
Oh, yeah, the stage manager, he goes, okay, you guys are going to walk out there. Paige, you're on the left. Hannah, you're on the right. Hand goes, quick question. Is that changeable? Can I go on the right? And he goes. And he's, like, looking at his papers, and he's like, absolutely. Specifically that you must be on the right and Paige must be on the left. And you're like, okay, I'm going to need to talk to your boss real quick.
Hannah
I said, who are you working for? Because that's crazy that you're like, the only thing you have to do is Hannah needs to stand on her monster side. And the guy starts laughing. And I go, my enemy's out to get me. Who's your boss? Let me talk to them. And he's dying laughing, and he thinks it's funny. And I'm like, when does this matter where we stand? Yeah. And, you know, the only thing I care about is not wearing my hair in a ponytail.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And not standing on the right side.
Paige
You're extremely passionate about not wearing your
Hannah
hair and anything else. I'm very laid back about.
Paige
Totally.
Hannah
Arguably, very chill. Except I don't like reading teleprompters.
Sponsor Voice / Narrator
Right.
Paige
Which, See, I love a teleprompter.
Hannah
Yes. Because you like organization preparation.
Paige
Yes. I'm like, there it is. I don't have to think about it.
Hannah
Like, showing that you can read.
Paige
Yes. It is always a plus.
Hannah
It is a plus. And you're like, see all my haters, including me? So the guy's, like, laughing, and I'm like, it's not funny.
Paige
Like, I really like.
Hannah
Sir.
Paige
I feel like I'm not actually being a comedian right now. Like, I'm.
Sponsor Voice / Narrator
I'm.
Hannah
I literally looked him like, what would happen if I just, like, went on the left side and he's, like, laughing? I'm like, well, I'm not.
Paige
I think it was the lower thirds when you were streaming it, but I also.
Hannah
Yeah. So we go out. But, yeah, I was going rogue out there, and I blacked out. I don't know what I said. And I do have to say they posted our speech, and it was really, really fun and cute. But I want to announce. I don't think anyone called it out, but there's a moment where, like, they gave me the award And I went to give it to you when you were speaking. Yeah. And then I pulled it back.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And afterwards you're like, what was that? It was really heavy. And as I was giving it to you, I was like, she's going to like.
Paige
You literally faked me out on stage.
Hannah
I was like, no.
Paige
I'm like, actually, this is my award.
Hannah
No. But it looked like I literally was like, faking funny.
Paige
Too slow. Couldn't take it.
Hannah
But it was like very heavy.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And I was like, as the man won, I was like, I'll hold it while you can, like, speak.
Paige
When we were done presenting, we were like going back out to sit for the rest of the awards and we saw both of our assistants sitting on the couch and we just were like, how cute are they?
Hannah
How adorable.
Paige
Just.
Hannah
So shout out Grace and Josephine for literally being the best.
Paige
We had the best, best time. Then we all flew home together and we just had like the best time yapping.
Hannah
I also think it is crazy. There are like some podcasts that have like huge productions which, yeah, people are going on stage with like seven people behind them.
Paige
Everyone was thinking, a lot of people. I was like, wait, who are these people? What did they do?
Hannah
But I just have to say, our team is literally me, you and Grace.
Paige
Yeah. Or Giggly Squad.
Hannah
Grace hasn't slept in years, but we spoil her, I promise. And I forced her to get a cat.
Paige
We got her quesadillas on our way home.
Hannah
But shout out to, like such a small operation. I think if you try to make your operation too big, sometimes not to talk business, but like, you can lose quality control.
Paige
Yeah. And too many cooks in the kitchen.
Hannah
Too many cooks in the kitchen. And also people who might not, like, care.
Paige
Giggly is a well oiled machine.
Hannah
It's a well oiled, small, simple machine. But we have to say it's all the Gigglers. Yeah, like the, the gigglers make this podcast. All of you won this award. Yeah, like, this is for you guys being the funniest, smartest, hottest, most beautiful girls and gays in the world.
Paige
And I actually said that about you guys in the meeting.
Hannah
Oh, I did.
Paige
Well, I, I like, you're like, you're not gonna believe it, but like, they're all beginners, have jobs. No, you're like, they have professions, which
Hannah
I have to make a quick edit. Obviously. I messed up something last week again about the Smithsonian. Also, people have to talk about when you have nubby fingers, it really is harder to text. And also just us. Do you know when you flush A bathroom. And they have those fancy ones that are like a circle. You press down the circle.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
When you have long nails.
Paige
Yeah, I do my knuckle, but, like,
Hannah
that's not good for women.
Paige
No, it's not made for women.
Hannah
It's not. Oh, yeah. So she said. Died over the shout out. I work at the African American History Smithsonian. Smithsonian. I work at the African American History Smithsonian. They want to give us a tour if we ever go to D.C. they have exhibits on sports and fashion that can be catered to our respective interests. And that's. That is so sweet, being a giggler. They're all, like, genius women.
Paige
They really are. And we didn't even know what a Smithsonian was.
Hannah
I thought that was, like, a man. Maybe it is a man. How are you?
Paige
Good. How are you? Wait, I need to talk about my Lemme Day.
Hannah
Yes.
Paige
Yes. It was my favorite day of my entire life. Like, it was truly the best day of my whole life.
Hannah
Knowing you and, like, stuff you used to talk about before these things happened to you makes it more magical. Like, you love the Kardashians.
Paige
Love them.
Hannah
It's always on in your apartment.
Paige
I've never been a hater of them. You. There is nothing they could do to make me hate them. I'm obsessed with every single one of them. So when we first got an email that Lemmy wanted to collab with us, we were actually sitting in a Daphne office, like, around the table, and one of the our Daphne people was like, okay, this is gonna sound crazy, but, like, Lemmy wants to collab, and I, like, lost my mind. And they were like, we didn't know, like, if you were gonna want to do it. And I was, like, gonna wanna do it. Are you kidding?
Hannah
When you texted me, it was like, the most, like, starstruck I've been.
Paige
They were like, something sleep week. She thought it would be cute if we, like, collabed on Let me Sleep, like, perfect. I was like, no, perfect. The marketing rights itself. Also just like, thank God I created a brand that's, like, in the bed. Because anytime I go somewhere, they're like, okay, and the first shot is you in the bed. I'm like, perfect. Thank you.
Hannah
It wasn't just you, like, holding a Lemme Gummy. It was you spending a day with Courtney.
Paige
So we pull up. Okay, first, I obviously get glam. I like taking pictures. Like, love my outfit. We pull. We drive to Calabasas. We pull up. When you pull up. It wasn't what I was expecting it to look like on the outside. Like, it looks like a very, like, just professional, I don't know, like, complex.
Hannah
Have you ever been to Calabasas?
Paige
No, never been to Calabasas.
Hannah
I didn't know it was a real thing. I thought it was just part of this.
Paige
Very sweet. It's very cute. It's far, though.
Hannah
But, like, they must live near it.
Paige
They live near it.
Hannah
Convenient.
Paige
So we get there, we're in the parking lot. We're like about to walk in. And we walk in, two, like, girls sitting at the front desk. And they're like, hey, welcome to Kim's studio. And I'm like, oh, my God.
Hannah
You're like, kim who?
Paige
So you. There's like a little computer in the front and it's like, like you click.
Hannah
It's a fake computer. It.
Paige
Hannah. It felt like Barbie life size. I was like, this is not real. There's no way this can be real. So it's a little computer and you click like Kim's office or. Or Kim's studio. And so we click like Kim Studio. You're immediately you're signing an NDA on top of the NDA that you've already signed to even, like, agree to get the address.
Hannah
NDA about your NDA. Yeah, they're like, you're breaking right now.
Paige
No, you can say you signed an NDA.
Hannah
So for your lawyers.
Paige
So you walk in, it's stunning, beautiful. Like, everything is exactly what you think it's going to be. And so then we, like, keep walking back. And then we like, enter into, like, the glam room. It's just.
Hannah
Which, of course, they have.
Paige
It's just rows of. It's my dream.
Hannah
There's just makeup artists in every room, like, giving touch ups to you.
Paige
It's a rows of glam chairs with, like, mirrors. Light, perfect light on the other side. It's just like a massive couch that looks like, like a bed. And then it's just like lines of Daphne clothes. And then like inside the studio is like, the bed and everything.
Hannah
You know what? I have to say that you have to be proud of the Kardashians. That is a business run by woman. Women.
Paige
Oh, yeah.
Hannah
Like, every single decision is made by a woman. It's not women written by men. And, like, these are powerhouses making those decisions.
Paige
There was, like, random people in different parts, like, working on different stuff that you could, like, tell there's a lot of people.
Hannah
Well, they're running 4,000 businesses.
Paige
Businesses. And not every of their business is even in that one building. I don't think so. Then one Of Courtney's, like, people come over and they're like, okay, Courtney's pulling up. Like, we'll start in a little. And so I'm like, okay, let me pee. Like, before we really start. And mind you, they wrapped our phone so, like, we couldn't take any pictures. So we were, like, very present in the moment because we could only look at each other like, we had nowhere to look.
Hannah
And you go, hi. Who are you guys?
Paige
I go, nice to meet you, Paige. So nice to meet you. And there's one moment I knew you had blue eyes. There's one moment, like, I go in the bathroom and I, like, had a. Not a panic attack, but I was like, oh, my God. Like, I'm at the Kardashians office. I'm about to shoot with Courtney. And you've met her before. I never met her before. For anyone who says that Courtney doesn't work, she is one of the most efficient workers I've ever met in my life. She showed up, she was ready. We professional, professional. Shot for like, an hour, maybe an hour and a half. Got everything. Her team, the nicest people ever. Like, it was truly so much more down to earth and normal than I was expecting. Like, we were just kikiing.
Hannah
One thing I have to say about the Kardashians is they have longevity, and you don't have longevity unless you're, like, good to work with and work efficiently.
Paige
No, there was a moment where they were like, okay, heads closer together, and, like, I'm, like, in Courtney's bosom, you know?
Hannah
Like, I'm like, you're in bed with her.
Paige
Like, I'm literally, literally laying on her. And I turned to her and I go, second base. You have a really relaxing presence. And she's like, thank you so much.
Hannah
She goes, thanks, I'm sleeping.
Paige
Like, she. She felt very, like, maternal. Like, I was just like, she is. Yeah. I was just like, wait, you're very, like, calm.
Hannah
Was there anything about her that was different than what you thought it would be?
Paige
Not at all. She, like, went into, like, some long winded story that, like, I don't even remember now, but I'm like, I'll listen to you for hours.
Hannah
I think she, like, Chloe is by far, like, the comedian. Yeah. But Kourtney makes me laugh.
Paige
No, she's. She's unintentionally, really funny.
Hannah
She's so dry and so honest. She does remind me of you in a way where, like, she'll just say it and own it.
Paige
Yeah. Like, she'll just be, like, gross. And I. I love it. I'm just, like, obsessed with her.
Hannah
That is so cool. And it just shows. Live your dreams. Manifestation is real.
Sponsor Voice / Narrator
No.
Paige
I was on such a high after that. Then, like, my whole team, we all went to the Beverly Hills hot hotel. I even got, like, an alcoholic drink I was on.
Hannah
Celebrated.
Paige
Yeah. I had a glass of wine. No, it was so fun. And that was before I did sag. So I was out there and we shot Lemmy.
Hannah
When it comes to meeting, like, people you admire, there's one thing to, like, get a selfie with them, but to actually spend quality time with them and see how their brain works and, like,
Paige
be like, she was just so nice. Like, and she didn't have to be as overly nice to me as she was. She could have just been like, yeah, we're doing this thing. It's, like, for my brand. Like, let's get it done. Like, great to meet you, Sia. But she was very, like, warm and welcoming.
Hannah
And that means the world.
Paige
It really does.
Hannah
It really does. So everyone remember to be kind, honestly, around the worst day. And, like, if a random person, like, says they like my poncho, like, like, my days turned around, go up to
Paige
a random person and say, like, their poncho.
Hannah
I'm like, I believe in humanity again.

Paige
Can I say something crazy and controversial please? It's actually not but like whatever. Yeah, I don't think I'll ever get Botox ever again for the rest of my life. Like I'm never get. I don't think I will ever inject my fate. I don't think I'll ever do any anti aging like at a doctor ever again.
Hannah
Us Weekly's freaking out right now. They're like, send it to the press.
Paige
Here's what I'll say. I'm sorry. Thankful. I'm so thankful that I have the mom that I have. That was like if you ever touch your face, I'll fudgeing kill you.
Hannah
Well, you were kind of the test rat for us.
Paige
Totally.
Hannah
I was like, yeah, go get botanics. Tell me how it goes, you guys. And I waited a couple set me the fuck up.
Paige
Well, you went, you went overboard.
Hannah
Tell me where you made the mistake.
Paige
So when I first got so I was like, I'm 33, you're perfect.
Hannah
You've never made a mistake.
Paige
I was like, I'm 33, I really want to try it. So I'm happy that I waited until I was 33 years old.
Hannah
Also your feed is just full of women being like and I got botox here and I got buttocks here, and this is how I look at Botox. And they're just, like, looking stunning and whatever.
Paige
I just don't think it's worth it. Like, I think there are so many pros, but I think there are so many cons. Like, I think it made me uglier, honestly. Like, ultimately, I think my experience with it is I think it was. Made my face look worse than it did better. And I think not, like, for who injected me. None of that. I just think for my own face, I didn't like. I don't like it at all.
Hannah
So first you got your forehead, and your initial reaction was, I love it. I'm obsessed with it.
Paige
I got my forehead, and then I
Hannah
got, like, right here, and why.
Paige
And I got my chin, and you got your chin. Then I went back three months later, got, like, a little bit more in my forehead, a little bit more in my chin, which messed up my mouth for the whole time. Like, since I've had. Which I think that was, like, in January now we're almost in March. And I just. I think it just puts such a bad taste in my mouth because it's like, you go to get something and then you hate. You have more problems than to get proper.
Hannah
More insecure about your face.
Paige
100%. And so, like, I feel like it'll be almost pretty much dissolved by, like, I would say by the summer, I'll probably be, like, back to my normal face. And I don't think anyone could ever convince me to go back and get Botox. And the only reason I want to say that is because I know that so many girls might have gotten it when you might have gotten it because they were like. Because I did it. Like, okay, like, maybe it's time. Because we're all, like, pretty much all the same age.
Hannah
Yes.
Paige
But I know there's so many girls that listen to us who are in college and sometimes even a little bit younger. I don't think they should get it.
Hannah
That is so powerful of you to say. And I appreciate it as someone who hasn't gotten Botox yet, because I want to see what your experience is going to be perfect.
Paige
What a friend.
Hannah
Yes. You might see lines on your face, which I personally love my lines because, one, it gets me more respect in the boardroom when I'm stuffing my face with a croissant sandwich that I stole from you and telling them about.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
Strategy. They can tell I've seen some.
Paige
I feel like I've also kind of hit in age where I'm like, well, one, I feel like I'm, like, hotter than I was when I was, like, 25.
Hannah
So much.
Paige
But two, I also feel like I've hit an age where I don't want to look like a young girl in their 20s because I'm like, wait, do you know how awful girls in their 20s are treated? Like, I don't want to look like I'm that young because I've been through too much to get disrespected.
Hannah
Like, it's horrible. But there is also a thing aging does not mean uglier.
Paige
Right?
Hannah
Let's normalize that. Aging is growth, is knowledge, is also. Like, Grace literally said to us the other day, we're in the elevator, and she was like, I can't wait to be your age. And we were like, why? And she was like, because you guys are so pretty. And I. She said that to us. You weren't listening.
Paige
No, I don't think.
Hannah
But, like, we're inspiring her. As in, like, I mean, I've lost my baby fat. I also know my face better. I found the right hair color.
Paige
Like, I'm evolving, Have found the right hair color.
Hannah
I also come from a line of women who are fucking gorgeous in every decade. Like, I look at my mom in her 30s or 40s, her 50s, and it's just, like, epic. Every single one.
Paige
Um, but also, like, when I see a man on the street who has, like, gray hair or, like salt and pepper beard or something, I'm like, oh, hot.
Hannah
Like it to me.
Paige
Yeah. Like, that guy's, like, older and hot and knows things. And not that I'm saying, like, I'm not going to. I would never die. Like, I would never have gray hair. That's one thing that I wouldn't do.
Hannah
It can be chic.
Paige
Like, it can be chic, but, like, I will dye my hair when I get to that point.
Hannah
But go blonde.
Paige
No, Like, I'll be a brunette, but I just don't think I will, like, okay, anti aging. Like, eye cream, great. But I don't think I'll ever go. But again, I would argue stick surgeon and get something anti aging until I'm like, in my 50s.
Hannah
I would argue that a lot of these products, though, like, I'm so sick of girls putting on products and tick tock and being like, look how glossy my skin looks. I'm like, yeah, you just put something shiny on it.
Paige
Yeah, that's an oil.
Hannah
That's an oil. Like, people like, look how shiny my skin is. I'm like, because you put an Oil on it, it didn't actually change, but. And even like the under eye stuff, it's so expensive. And I'm like, is it that different than like the other stuff?
Paige
Now when I got Botox, do I think it was phenomenal for my crow's feet? Totally. But I think the cons outweighed that.
Hannah
Like, one benefit and not to talk. But sometimes when people have too much Botox and they smile and they don't have crows feet, it looks like a horror movie smile where they're like, yeah. Yes.
Paige
So I just don't think I'll ever do it again. And. But I'm happy. I actually am happy that I was the guinea pig for this because I do feel like a lot of gigglers were like, I had like, a lot of women even in my real life be like, wait, I think I'm gonna get it now. Like, where'd you go? Or like, how did you like it? And so I'm just like.
Hannah
So you wouldn't even get a little forehead?
Paige
Honestly, I don't think so. I don't know.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
Okay. Maybe like next fall if I'm like, oh, maybe I'll just get like a little in my forehead. Okay. But I don't think I'll ever do it the way I did it.
Hannah
I also think you have a particular job where you're speaking. You're a comedian.
Paige
No.
Hannah
You're promoting. So you're interviewing.
Paige
Like, host talk.
Hannah
When you're hosting with. With too much Botox, it's difficult.
Paige
The amount of things I've been I've googled for the past three months. Like, I actually think it almost made me feel like it looked like I. It didn't look like I got lip filler because my lips didn't, like, get bigger. But it almost made me feel like the shape of my lip change changed for some reason.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
And I hated it. I was like, I have amazing lips and I have an amazing mouth. Like, I don't know.
Hannah
Speaking of the Kardashians, there was a time where Kim did something to her chin where, like, the. Her lips looked, like, lower. Yeah. Than they were. And she, like, fixed.
Paige
The only thing I could think about was, wow, how many girls get suckered into getting, like, filler and then that doesn't go away. I was so thankful. Like, I kept just reminding myself, like, okay, it's Botox. So, like, it's gonna go away. You're not gonna be like this forever. And thank. So if you're contemplating filler or Botox, don't Do it.
Hannah
I'm obsessed with you. My biggest piece of advice, too, is stop looking in the mirror so much. Girls. Okay, no, like, people are looking in the mirror, trying to, like, find issues.
Paige
Sorry, that's my hobby. No, but, like, the other night, Hannah was at my apartment. I was like, sorry, I think I'm going to go do my hobby. And Grace was like, you're going to read? And I was like, I'm going to shower, do a face mask, do my skincare.
Hannah
You would do skincare all day if you. If you could. Yeah, where I'm like, the person, like, who's on the couch at night, and
Paige
I'm like, no, Hannah, I need a full hour before I get into bed.
Hannah
We live such different lives.
Paige
Thanks, Joe. It's a red light.
Sponsor Voice / Narrator
I have to.
Paige
I have to tune fork.
Hannah
And Kitty loves.
Paige
Loves tuning forks. She loves them.
Hannah
I also have to say, though, when you're always looking in the mirror and you're always picking yourself apart like, you're. You're not seeing, like, it is dysmorphia at some point. And at one point, let's say you're like, oh, I hate these lines on my face.
Paige
You think I fully have body dysmorphia.
Hannah
You do have body dysmorphia. And I try my best, and I say that you're beautiful. And you're like, you're my best friend.
Paige
Of course you say that.
Hannah
Shut up.
Paige
I'm like, contractually, you have to say that in Potsdam.
Hannah
You're like, I'm surrounded by yes people.
Paige
No, that's when I call my mom. Whenever I feel like I'm surrounded by yes people, I just call my mom. I'm like, what do you think she said? Get your mouth. That's up.
Hannah
Yeah, but there is a moment where, like, okay, let's say I have some lines on my face. Yeah, but then in your situation, I get Botox. Now I hate myself in a different way that feels unfamiliar to me.
Paige
And you get even more mad because you're like, this isn't even me. I wasn't born.
Hannah
This isn't my fault.
Paige
This isn't my mess up outer thing.
Hannah
And then you feel like you're not even your true self. I'd rather be my true self. And ugly.
Paige
Yes.
Hannah
Than someone else making me ugly.
Paige
No, that's. That's what it is. I'm like, I rather hate myself the way I was made than hate myself for what I did.
Hannah
Hate yourself authentically.
Paige
Let me hate myself in peace.
Hannah
And some girls, you put so much On. I don't even see their soul anymore. Yeah, Blocked.
Paige
That's why I'm just. I feel like I wanted to say this because I know there's so many girls that get filler, and that's so not repairable the way, like, Botox is. And so I didn't even want. Not that I ever thought about getting filler, because it truly does scare me.
Hannah
But there's also a, like, idea of when you do filler, like, you're trying to look how you used to be, which is what we were saying. We're like, what if you discover what you're gonna look like? Why are we always trying to be like what we were?
Paige
And honestly, I'm actually low key, not that worried about aging. Like, I've never really been that nervous about aging because, like, we don't drink. Like, we really don't. Like, we are not people that, like, have a drink every single day.
Hannah
I had, like, three quesadillas the other night. I woke up with a hangover. Like, that was crazy.
Paige
No, we were hungover from the Mexican.
Hannah
Well, I also was hungover from socializing so much, being the bell of the ball, which is exhausting.
Paige
But I never really think about aging like that because I know that I have a drink maybe, like, once a month.
Hannah
Yeah. Well, this. This episode has been so informative, and I really love that you said that. Like, that was. You were like, I tried it with a whole open heart.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And this is my feedback, and this is my.
Paige
This was my journey.
Hannah
And if you want Paige to try out anything else, she will just DM her.
Paige
I will. I do think I am gonna go get Micro needling. But anyway,
Hannah
also, before we wrap up, I want to let you guys know that my Buffalo Wild Wings commercial is out.
Paige
Yes.
Hannah
Now, this is my first ever TV commercial, and it's so funny because I feel like it's so glamorous. Paige versus Hannah coated. Like, Paige is like, if I could
Paige
make commercials all year or for the rest of my life, I would.
Hannah
But you're like, I have a tresma. I'm doing Lemmy. I'm doing. You know, I'm on a spaceship.
Paige
We love branding at Paige's Orbo headquarters.
Hannah
But then I literally got a call, and I'm like, I'm obsessed with B dubs. I also, Hank, I shot with Beck Bennett from snl, who does the voice of Hank, and we riff the whole time. It was so much fun. I'll tell you guys more about next episode. Check it out. I just posted. But shout out to BDubs and shout out to Botox. We'll see you next week and we love you guys so much. Bye.
