B
We can't be managed.
- [01:28]
A
The day just got away from me.
- [01:32]
B
Hello my. I feel like a 2 year old. And like and then, and then, and then when, and I was going and
- [01:40]
A
I was in and then I just
- [01:41]
B
said hello my Gigglers. But I don't have the kids today guys. Thank God.
- [01:46]
A
Thank God. Actually I put in my own due diligence with children this weekend.
- [01:54]
B
Due diligence?
- [01:55]
A
Yeah, I did. I played. I played an insane round of hide and go seek with a four year old and a three year old. And here's the thing I like about them. They don't care if you cheat. They want to cheat. Like I would go hide and then they would yell where are you? And I would tell them and then they would come get me.
- [02:13]
B
You should have been like, this isn't what. Life's how you live life. People don't give you the answers. Got to figure it out yourself.
- [02:20]
A
I realized I just wanted to make them happy and that made me happy.
- [02:25]
B
That was beautiful.
- [02:26]
A
Something that didn't make me happy.
- [02:28]
B
Yes. Back to our core.
- [02:31]
A
To our God given age. Just to let you guys know that sometimes me and Hannah gossip before the pod and sometimes it. Sometimes we do an hour.
- [02:45]
B
It's not sometimes. Every time we have to like, say the things that we need to say that we can't say.
- [02:52]
A
Giggly squad is unfiltered, uncensored.
- [02:55]
B
But it.
- [02:55]
A
That. That's in an intimate setting.
- [03:00]
B
We're. We're saying full names in the beginning. We're saying Social Security numbers, and we're. We need to protect people.
- [03:05]
A
Okay. So anyway, today I make that TikTok of that. Like, me living my dream life, like, doing everything I've ever wanted to do in my life. And it's just like, me, like, yeah,
- [03:15]
B
stoic, with the resting.
- [03:17]
A
So I put it on, and TikTok obviously, like, gets it. I put it on my Instagram story. It was anthropology to see who is naturally sarcastic in their everyday life and who is not. Like, I had some friends message me being like, are you okay? And other people DMing me. But, like, be like, it doesn't seem like you are, though. You look really sad. And I'm like, that's the joke.
- [03:52]
B
And then if you only think about yourself, like me, I said, that was her standing in solidarity with me, showing she's going about her life not smiling.
- [03:59]
A
Right.
- [04:00]
B
I said, I love that. For me.
- [04:01]
A
Right, and that was your take on it?
- [04:02]
B
No. That was such a funny post. You also posted footage from the Jersey shore this weekend. How was the Jersey shore? What did you see? How was the boardwalk?
- [04:13]
A
I think just like a classic Jersey shore weekend. And by that, I mean I wore really cute outfits and I went to the beach. I literally, like, I. I love a beach.
- [04:28]
B
I love an outfit. I love a summer.
- [04:30]
A
I love a beach. I love an outfit. When I tell you, I sat there and I looked at the rest of the girls, and I said, girls, how did we get here in 2026? And they looked at me and they said, we don't know. There was a group of men, okay? And they're standing. They're doing men things, you know, like, they're pulling. They're pulling cards and things that hold beverages, and they're putting.
- [04:54]
B
They like to care.
- [04:55]
A
Yeah. Like, they're doing things.
- [04:56]
B
They're standing, picking up, putting it down.
- [04:58]
A
But I had an observation where I said, the men are standing over there talking about their bodies for a full 45. A full 45 about their bodies. And I'm looking at the girls, and I'm like, never in my life did I think I would sit here at 33 years old and we haven't discussed our bodies once.
- [05:17]
B
You guys are talking about starting a business. You guys are talking about stocks. You guys are talking about your dreams.
- [05:23]
A
One of Them was pregnant.
- [05:24]
B
We didn't even bring it up.
- [05:27]
A
I'm just kidding. But I was like, guys, sit down. Seriously.
- [05:33]
B
Men are talking about their hip to waist ratio.
- [05:36]
A
The men have. The men have lost it. They're talking about routines, they're talking about proteins, they're talking about different mixes.
- [05:42]
B
But I do think as men get older, as their testosterone lowers, if I
- [05:46]
A
had to hear about it, that's, like,
- [05:48]
B
all they talk about. Which I know that you're triggered by, but, like, it's all they talk about. I think, like, the. The movie Werewolf was literally just about a guy who overdosed on testosterone when he was, like, hitting his middle age and was, like, afraid. I think men should naturally lose a little soft. Whatever happened to softening in your older age? Gracefully? Aging gracefully.
- [06:10]
A
In my head, I'm just like, you don't have a beauty standard. What are you guys working against? What are you, like, what's your beauty standard? Do men have a beauty stand? Wait, is my computer about to die now? Do men have a beauty standard? Like, is there a guy or, like, is there a celebrity that, like, unanimously. Men are like, he's.
- [06:32]
B
I feel like George Clooney. Men look up to because he's distinguished. Brad Pitt, I think guys think are hot. You could also, like, if you said, like, Hercules, I feel like the Red Power Ranger.
- [06:49]
A
Do you think they compare their bodies to anyone? And who do you think it is?
- [06:54]
B
I know that guys do, but they'll make fun of the guy who's really fit. If they're not fit, they're like, oh, you've been working out a lot.
- [07:01]
A
Leonardo DiCaprio is arguably one of our most famous celebrities, and he's had a dad bod for 30 years, and no
- [07:08]
B
one cares when it's done of the week.
- [07:10]
A
Yeah.
- [07:11]
B
To bring it back to women.
- [07:12]
A
Yeah, sorry.
- [07:13]
B
There's a girl going around who used.
- [07:16]
A
And when a girl's going around, buckle up.
- [07:21]
B
Did you want me to finish that sentence? I was just like. And she went around. She's using her cpap, which is this thing you put in your mouth.
- [07:32]
A
Sleep apnea.
- [07:33]
B
For sleep apnea, she realized she could take her hair and roll it around the CPAP machine so she could have heatless curls. And in the morning, she had no sleep apnea and gorgeous natural waves. So shout out to her if you Google cpap heat curler. She'll definitely come up. It's been sent to me, like, 200 times.
- [07:53]
A
That's extraordinary.
- [07:55]
B
I mean, genius. But going back to body stuff, really?
- [08:00]
A
Because I was gonna take it in heatless curls. But you know what?
- [08:07]
B
Before we seek into. I get tennis stuff, and there's this thing called 1800s. Like, what girls wore to tennis in the 1800s, which you would have loved. It's just like, corset over, corset over. Because that's, like, whatever.
- [08:23]
A
That's so practical to run.
- [08:25]
B
Are you familiar what a bustle is?
- [08:28]
A
Isn't a bustle like, like a big skirt? Like the back of a big skirt? Like, you can pin your bustle up. Like, I only know that from, like, weddings.
- [08:37]
B
So it looks like a big lobster tail.
- [08:39]
A
Okay.
- [08:40]
B
So they'd put this, like, bustle, which basically was an 1800s BBL. Like, you have the outfit now let's put on our bustle. So it made girls look like they had this huge curvy butt. And I'm like, since day one, the girls were getting bbls, and in no way was that helping your tennis game. If anything, it was just more to carry.
- [09:01]
A
I think the girls are, like, still getting bbls.
- [09:04]
B
Well, now people are rumoring any skinny girl that, like, has a butt, they're,
- [09:08]
A
like, getting a B.
- [09:09]
B
That's a. That was a mind a little bbo or a pad.
- [09:14]
A
Here's the thing. I just, like, love sitting so much. You couldn't. There's no. I'm not making a commitment to not sit sit for, like, a week.
- [09:23]
B
Oh, God, no.
- [09:24]
A
Like, I'm just not doing that.
- [09:25]
B
You just stand everywhere.
- [09:27]
A
How are you sleeping?
- [09:29]
B
Well, I heard that when girls get it done in Mexico and they have to get on the plane, everyone's just standing up on the plane.
- [09:35]
A
I've seen them on the airplane, and they're like. Some are, like, kneeling on the seats. I've also seen, like, chairs that, like, have the butt cut out that you could, like, sit, whatever. But at nighttime, are you just only laying on your stomach? That seems. That's so bad for my lower back.
- [09:51]
B
I love a stomach sleep. I love a stomach sleep.
- [09:54]
A
Yeah. I can't ever do that.
- [09:57]
B
I love a summer a stomach sleep. It's very grounding.
- [10:01]
A
How does your lower back not killing me?
- [10:04]
B
It's killing me, actually. Is that the source of all my lower back pain? No.
- [10:09]
A
It's hurting me just thinking about you sleeping on your stomach the whole night.
- [10:13]
B
Well, I start on my stomach, then I go on my side, and I end up on my back. It's like a whole routine. Oh, and one more Lois comment.
- [10:21]
A
Did you show Lois my TikTok of all my beach outfits?
- [10:24]
B
No, but I need to.
- [10:25]
A
Yeah. You really Do I will.
- [10:27]
B
I go downstairs and all I did was put some, like, lipstick on. And Lois goes, you have a pretty face. And I said, thank you. And she goes, because you put makeup on. And I said, okay. And then she goes, you look like Paige. She goes, you look pretty like Paige. She's so giggly squad coded.
- [10:52]
A
Her just saying, you have a pretty face is so giggly squad coded.
- [10:57]
B
Just in general, like, she only wants me in glam.
- [11:00]
A
Yeah, same.
- [11:03]
B
I, like, literally useless to her without glam. I wake up in the morning, bare face, and she's like. And I tried to teach her. I said, well, you know, I put makeup on. And she looked at me and she said, DEZ is gonna want to marry you. And I said, lois, Lois. He loves me without makeup on. She goes, why? I'm telling you, I'm not making this up. This is verbatim what she's saying to me. She goes, why? And I go, because sometimes people like your personality if you're smart and if you're kind. And she's like, put the makeup on. No, I'm like, okay, we've learned nothing today.
- [11:40]
A
Lois has a pink aura, and I think. I think I am similar to her in like. Okay, sometimes there are things that, like,
- [11:56]
B
different page.
- [11:57]
A
In my 20s and younger and probably even in my early 30s, have there been things that I've done that you could classify as pick me or. Yeah, I'm alive. Like, I've done pick me things before. Yeah, but sometimes when it's like, really girly things and people will argue, like, I saw a girl on Tick Tock the other day, and it was like, really, like, beauty routines are inherently misogynistic because, like, who are you doing them for? But sometimes I feel attacked in that rhetoric because I'm like, not never once. I'm not gonna say that. Like, yeah, have I gotten ready for a guy before? Of course.
- [12:35]
B
Well, that's just like, you're attracted to someone. You want to do things, like, to attract a mate.
- [12:39]
A
Yeah, but like, my nighttime skincare routine, genuinely. I mean, actually,
- [12:49]
B
it's not for you.
- [12:53]
A
I'm like, is it to, like, not look older? But then I'm like, why do I want to know?
- [12:57]
B
First of all, there's nothing wrong with wearing makeup. I love makeup. But, like, did you wear makeup every day going to your all girls school?
- [13:04]
A
Never. Not once.
- [13:05]
B
Okay,
- [13:08]
A
but I did on Fridays when I knew I had to go to the boys. No, but there were some days where, like, if I wanted to try out, like, a hairstyle, like, I Would do it?
- [13:21]
B
Yes. Yeah, well, like when we do a
- [13:23]
A
photo shoot, I'm not thinking about men, like are going to like these pictures. If anything, they're not the only boys.
- [13:28]
B
I'm thinking about if gay men will like this or not. That actually is in my head a little too much.
- [13:34]
A
I had to film something today and I filmed with three girls. Four girls. Four girls. One guy, two girls, one cup. And as soon as the gay guy came into my chair, I felt as though I had known him for.
- [13:49]
B
Do you work for a hair salon? What do you mean came into.
- [13:51]
A
Sat in my chair. Sat next to me in my chair?
- [13:56]
B
Yeah. Why did I say that? You're like, how long has it been? Split ends, baby. Split ends.
- [14:04]
A
You wonder what? I got a haircut today, so maybe not.
- [14:07]
B
Oh, you did?
- [14:08]
A
No, he came and sat next to me when we filmed what we had to film to the point where someone asked if we knew each other before. And I said, me and gay men. You do
- [14:17]
B
if you're gay.
- [14:18]
A
We have. I said, I just, I. We just, we click. We. It's just something about us.
- [14:23]
B
I was with my uncle Johnny all weekend. He's perfect. He got a martini at dinner with all the kids. He had obsessed with him.
- [14:31]
A
He literally was fighting for his life.
- [14:35]
B
And then I got in trouble cuz Lois got up, left her pizza. Why are his kids food looks so good, Hannah, Why does it look so good? And I'm like, look around the table. I'm like, if I were to take a bite. They were like, if you take a bite, she'll freak out. And I'm like, is it worth it?
- [14:51]
A
It's something the moms have not told us in our DMs. I get DM'd a lot of things about being a mom. Like when we bring things up and not one of them has ever said anything about the children's snacks.
- [15:03]
B
Dino Nuggets. I could eat that for the rest of my life.
- [15:05]
A
I was sitting at dinner the other night having an adult meal of cheeseburgers and hot dogs. Get to my rides, eating Mac and cheese. I said, where'd you get that? They said, my mom made it for me. I said, where is your goddamn mom? I need a bowl. Kids went to sleep, things went in the refrigerator.
- [15:28]
B
I scurried right over there.
- [15:30]
A
I ate their leftovers. So don't leave Mac and cheese around me. I. It looks so good. I don't even know what, what brand it was. I think it was like that. What's that really trendy one? No, like noodles Noodles and poodles.
- [15:45]
B
Oh, yeah, Koodles. Poodles and noodles. And there's protein in it. Wait, so what happened with you and your new bestie? Your new gay bestie in the chair?
- [15:55]
A
I hate to sound like an influencer, but I can't tell you right now. You'll see it at a later date.
- [16:01]
B
She's teasing. Comment.
- [16:04]
A
Don't.
- [16:04]
B
In the chair. No, it's like, comment below.
- [16:08]
A
I've gotten a lot of DMS about that of like, it's diabolical what they're doing. Hannah and I were on FaceTime earlier, and Hannah said the word demonic, and I said, oh. I said, oh, my God, Hannah, I use the word demonic today. And I. I don't think I. Because usually my go to is diabolical, but I said, let me switch it up.
- [16:33]
B
You gotta get new words, new adjectives. I love that we both knew it at the same time. That's where we bonded.
- [16:39]
A
Should we both just, like, get a thesaurus and, like, look around every day?
- [16:44]
B
Just change stuff up? You love saying thesaurus. Just then you're like, I'll say a thesaurus.
- [16:49]
A
There was a 50, 50 shot I was going to get it right right before I said it, and you panicked.
- [16:55]
B
Thesaurus is a cunty dictionary. Thesaurus is like, when I don't want to say the word and I want to say a different one, and you can't tell me what to say.
- [17:03]
A
Yeah, I feel like there was, like, a phase in my life where my mom was like, if you don't have a thesaurus, then how are you even doing your homework? And I'm like, I don't think you know who the hell you're talking to, lady. You and I, we do not see eye to eye when it comes to this school stuff.
- [17:26]
B
You go, mom, where I'm going to be, we're not going to need a thesaurus. I promise you, Hannah and her mom will handle the book writing.
- [17:35]
A
Cut to me being a New York Times bestselling author. No one saw it.
- [17:39]
B
No thesaurus, no thesaurus.
- [17:41]
A
Thesaurus in sight, and no chat.
- [17:44]
B
Gbt, baby.
- [17:45]
A
Dude, I. I would absolutely crush high school right now. Are you kidding? I don't even get how that's being very worried.
- [17:53]
B
I'm very, very worried. I have more gay lore. Okay. In regards to the Little Mermaid.
- [18:02]
A
Yeah.
- [18:02]
B
So the Gigglers.
- [18:03]
A
Well, you're really on this. You're on this case.
- [18:06]
B
There's more going on with Hans Christian Andersen.
- [18:09]
A
Hell, yeah.
- [18:10]
B
A whole new world. I want to be where the people are all day. In the sun.
- [18:17]
A
No, you just did this. You just brought this up so you can sing. I'm sick of this podcast. I've had it with this goddamn podcast.
- [18:28]
B
Wait, I'm tuning. I'm tuning abcd. Wish I could be part of your world. Okay, It's a gay anthem. It's about not being able to be out and be gay. That's. He. That's why he. He felt like a mermaid who couldn't be with the people he wants to be part of their world.
- [18:52]
A
Media literacy. It's a lost art.
- [18:55]
B
Out where they walk, out where they talk, out where they say, all day in the sun, oh, I have chills. That was his love wandering with free with his wife who didn't know full family. And Hans was just yearning.
- [19:09]
A
Hold up, hold up. The guy that wrote the Little Mermaid was a gay man who was obviously.
- [19:18]
B
I hope so. A straight man. Being like the Little mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. There's Little Mermaid. She was in the water swimming. Of course he was gay. A straight guy. Be like, the big, strong mermaid.
- [19:41]
A
Stop, Stop. There's so many things I want to say. I can't say, wait, so he's married to a woman, and this was, like, his life's work, and this is how he got out that, like, he was gay?
- [19:59]
B
Imagine she's scrolling Instagram today. She's like, what the.
- [20:02]
A
What year was this?
- [20:04]
B
I need. I should honestly do, like, one Google search before.
- [20:09]
A
I just need.
- [20:11]
B
There are other podcasts that, like, say they're, like, experts and things, and people get mad when they get stuff wrong. It's not this, but I feel like people don't. They, like, prefer us to get it wrong. Hunkress Anderson.
- [20:22]
A
We set the scene early.
- [20:24]
B
Gay icon Hans sexuality is. Is viewed by modern scholars as fluid or biromantic. Oh, apparently. Edward Edvard. Ooh, Edvard Colin Anderson. That's not his last name. No, it's his first name.
- [20:41]
A
Edward Cullen.
- [20:42]
B
Edward Colin Edvart. What? He had an intense, unrequited attachment to his close friend, and he wrote in letters, I long for you, as though you were a beautiful Calabrian girl.
- [20:56]
A
If I had a nickel.
- [20:59]
B
Wait, wait a second. Hey, I know.
- [21:02]
A
Ex. I know this exact gay man.
- [21:05]
B
But then later in his life, he was with a Danish ballet dancer named Harold.
- [21:09]
A
One time, somebody wrote me a letter, like a breakup letter. Like, I broke up with him, and then he wrote me a letter, and my brother intercepted the letter, and he goes, bro, I'm gonna give you one piece of advice. Do not give this to my Sister. And the guy was like, why? Like, I said a lot of really good things in there. Like, I want her to know how I feel. And my brother said, she's not gonna respect you, dude.
- [21:38]
B
He's like, okay, Mailman Gary. I'm just trying to express myself like my therapist told me to, and you're really getting in the way.
- [21:45]
A
Just get back in your car. Get out of our driveway. You were never here.
- [21:49]
B
Okay, Hans. Little Mermaid was interpreted by literary scholars. And they never give a name when they say literary scholars. I don't know who these literary scholars are. As queer allegory for unrequited same sex love, mirroring the painful longing for his close friend Edvard.
- [22:07]
A
What year?
- [22:08]
B
Oh, yeah, that was the first question you asked me.
- [22:11]
A
This is why we don't have an expert podcast.
- [22:15]
B
It's powerfully captures the feeling of an outsider wanting to enter a forbidden or unreachable society in the year.
- [22:22]
A
What of our Lord? Okay.
- [22:23]
B
We'd be so bad in a group project. This is what it's like being in a group project with me and Paige right now. The. The project was due two weeks ago, by the way. Okay, Hans Christian. Little Mermaid. Not gay allegations. I'm just trying now. It, like, thinks I want. Okay. Date. No, he's gonna year. Okay. Okay. When do you think the film was? If you had a.
- [22:49]
A
The very first film. I know it was like one of the first. I'm gonna say that. Little Mermaid, like the movie.
- [22:59]
B
Okay, let me explain. I thought you were just gonna throw a number out there. I didn't know there could be follow up questions.
- [23:07]
A
I was gonna say 1949.
- [23:09]
B
Okay. The book was in 1837 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Fairy tales told for children ended in a murder suicide. And the movie was. Was 1989.
- [23:25]
A
So, like recent, but I was way off on that.
- [23:28]
B
Okay, well, if you average the two, you were. You were right on.
- [23:32]
A
Wait, I was definitely not gonna get 18. Whatever you said.
- [23:37]
B
Yeah.
- [23:37]
A
I love a period piece, though. Why isn't there a movie about this man? I would love that.
- [23:42]
B
Maybe there is a documentary.
- [23:44]
A
That would be amazing. Okay, so his wife's definitely not scrolling Instagram and being like, what? We've lost Hannah, he looks sweet.
- [23:52]
B
Sorry, I was. Interesting Comb over. Do you remember when, like in the 80s, it was like very like when men lost their hair, they just combed it over. And that was. No one made a note. No one was like, maybe they were like, this looks good now.
- [24:07]
A
A couple months ago on the pod, I said something like, you guys, the men should Have a beauty standard and, like, they should go get their hairs. Their hair done, and their hair is done. And, like, recently, I feel like I don't like it because I don't like the arrogance that I feel like they get after. If you're a gay man, literally go and, like, do it. Obviously, that's, like, so exciting. But I feel like some men, it was the only thing keeping them humble.
- [24:39]
B
Not having a beauty routine.
- [24:40]
A
Yeah. Okay, so I have to tell you guys something. And I genuinely think I've become one of those people who won't shut up about a blanket. Like, if you come to my apartment, I'm making you touch my Lola blanket. The second someone feels it, they're like, wait, okay, I need to get it. And honestly, you guys also know I've gifted a lot of Lola blankets because truly, it's the softest blanket I've ever owned. I have the extra large blanket in the color greenhouse, and it's made of insanely soft faux fur and it has stretch to it. It's machine washable, and somehow it still looks brand new even though it's permanently draped over my couch. These blankets just truly make everything feel so much cozier. The only problem is, I thought about it. The only problem is I thought I bought it for me, but it turns out I actually bought it for Daphne. She has completely claimed every Lola blanket in my house, and every single time I go looking for it, she's already asleep or making biscuits on it. So I finally gave up and ordered her her own Lola bed, the small one in Bondi beige. And honestly, it's the best decision I've ever made. She loves being perched up, so it's already, like, high and perfect tight for her. And she immediately curled up into it. And she didn't even inspect it first, which is very different for her. She just loved it right away. And it's made with that same ridiculously soft Lola material, but it has an orthopedic foam base, so it's actually supportive for pets. It's machine washable. And now I finally get my Lola blanket back. Most of the time. For a limited time, our listeners can get 40 off select Lola blanket products with Code Giggly at checkout.

A
I have it.

B
And your home is fully the ceilings are red light.
- [28:50]
A
I literally did it to myself with Amazon. Wait, that's what I was talking about today when I said demonic. Like the first time I ever got like a red light like in my room, my mom was like is this something demonic?
- [29:06]
B
K Counting our roses.
- [29:08]
A
This is for my wrinkles.
- [29:10]
B
It is giving satanic ritual for sure. Someone's getting sacrificed and it's Your wrinkles.
- [29:14]
A
Yeah. Also, even if it is a placebo effect, I don't care. I love feeling. I love my red light before bed.
- [29:22]
B
Have you felt anything? That's my thing. Like I prefer a feeling.
- [29:25]
A
You can't quantify it.
- [29:27]
B
Have you ever felt anything?
- [29:29]
A
I feel something from my. I was just gonna say my thimble.
- [29:34]
B
What?
- [29:37]
A
My tuning forks. That you feel something because like you feel and hear the vibration and that like genuinely works. I'm telling you.
- [29:46]
B
What does it do? It. You did not think I was gonna ask a follow up question to that one.
- [29:54]
A
You said this podcast was about no follow up questions. You said no follow up questions on this podcast. That we weren't experts.
- [30:03]
B
Whenever you say tuning forks, I get so hungry.
- [30:06]
A
Wait, I'm so hungry right now.
- [30:08]
B
I just ate a recchette broccoli rabe pasta, which is my current hyper fixation.
- [30:13]
A
Well, I feel like broccoli rabe pasta is always your current hyper fixation.
- [30:17]
B
I'm obsessed with a little sausage.
- [30:19]
A
Do you know that? That's like one pasta that I actually hate.
- [30:22]
B
And that's why we're best friends.
- [30:24]
A
Yeah.
- [30:24]
B
Because if we like the same pasta, then we'd fight over it all the time.
- [30:27]
A
If you go to a restaurant and somebody gives me broccoli rabe, I know I'm giving it right to you. I don't know what it is. I don't. I think it's like bitter tasting.
- [30:36]
B
Yeah. But I think I like the salty sweet. I'm not gonna get into it. It's. We can agree to disagree.
- [30:41]
A
We don't need to get. Let's not come in front of everyone of it. Yeah.
- [30:44]
B
I had something crazy happen to me this weekend and I didn't know this could happen when you're a grown up. Got stung by a bee.
- [30:52]
A
Where I thought that was the thing
- [30:53]
B
that happened to children only.
- [30:55]
A
Where.
- [30:56]
B
Well, it was a full family day. And when I tell you like I'd been wear on.
- [31:09]
A
Well, it was a crisp, crisp morning.
- [31:17]
B
I was reading Hans Christian Anderson by the nice cup of coffee by the window. No, but it was a family day. There's a story.
- [31:28]
A
Okay, go hit me with a story. Set the scene.
- [31:31]
B
8:30am I was awakened by the howling of children.
- [31:35]
A
Yeah.
- [31:35]
B
And I forgot that I was not in my own home.
- [31:39]
A
Isn't that the worst when you wake up?
- [31:41]
B
I was having so much fun though, with them. And then more family came over. It was a full Italian gathering. And then after around five hours, like, I'm good. I've said all that. Needs to be said. I've hit. It only gets worse from here. And the kids are like, we want to go play in the splash pad. That's what they're calling it.
- [32:01]
A
Totally.
- [32:02]
B
We thought it was, like, a little pool, and then we took it out and it was just like, you know, and they put out just, like, rubber with, like, some water on it.
- [32:09]
A
I have absolutely no idea what a splash pad is. Is it someplace you go, you buy one.
- [32:13]
B
Remember that when you would, like, go down. What is it called? The water slide that you'd put in your backyard. And then there'd be, like, one rock and it would just, like, rip everyone's insides out.
- [32:23]
A
No, I don't know what you're talking. A slip and slide.
- [32:25]
B
Slip and slide.
- [32:27]
A
Okay. Okay.
- [32:28]
B
So it's like a mini slip inside.
- [32:29]
A
Okay.
- [32:29]
B
Anyway, I'm like, I'm gonna go with the kids and watch, but I'm already, like, dying. Like, I. It's only 5 o', clock, and I don't know, we have a whole night ahead of us, and I hear buzzing in my ear, and I guess I'm not. The bee, like, got in my hair and I was, like, trying to, like, kind of get it out, and then it stung my ear and my finger. I got double stung. And I stop and I go, I think I stung by a bee. And everyone, everyone, like, really reacts. Like, I was like, are you okay? And then I realized I have an out. And I was like, let me. Let me go downstairs and check. So I grab some ice, go to the basement, turn on the tennis channel.
- [33:09]
A
You are a dad.
- [33:10]
B
Pass out for two hours.
- [33:13]
A
You're dad.
- [33:14]
B
I am literally dad. You are two hours back. The kids are so excited to see me. They miss me so much. My mom's like, where the hell were you?
- [33:26]
A
We're in the trenches.
- [33:28]
B
I got stung by a bee. It could. I could have gone to the hospital meanwhile. It didn't. It was like a very light stain.
- [33:35]
A
Imagine it bit your face and you could, like, smile again. Like,
- [33:43]
B
no, but, like, how many things have to happen to me in a given day?
- [33:47]
A
Yeah, well, it's. It's been kind of a crazy summer with, like, mercury in retrograde and, like, people are really fighting for their lives.
- [33:54]
B
It's looking better, though.
- [33:58]
A
Yeah.
- [33:58]
B
Not that it is, like, this side or this side, but overall, it looks better.
- [34:04]
A
No, I. I truly agree.
- [34:06]
B
Like, that's still going down.
- [34:07]
A
Your lip is so much better on the top.
- [34:10]
B
And it's lighter.
- [34:11]
A
Yeah, it is.
- [34:13]
B
But I digress. But you know when your friends Are, like, allergic to bees. And, like, a bee comes around and they, like, freak out because they could have a serious, like, deathly reaction.
- [34:24]
A
You know what's so crazy is because we're around, We've been around like, children recently. At one point, there was a small baby child, could not even speak yet was eating something, and I just heard his dad say, does that have nuts in it? And, I mean, I didn't give the. The food to the baby. So, like, I was out of this lawsuit. But, like, my immediate reaction is, like, how crazy. When you have a baby, you just have to, like, see if they're allergic to something. Like, so what do you even do?
- [34:59]
B
I guess you're right. Something has to happen to know if someone's allergic, right?
- [35:03]
A
So, like, one day, wait, you're like,
- [35:07]
B
throw a shellfish at its face.
- [35:10]
A
So, like, wait, as a mom, you guys are all just collectively picking a random day and being like, today's the day. We're giving the baby peanut butter. We're going to fudge and see what happens.
- [35:20]
B
Like, yeah, like, I haven't heard that. There's, like, allergy tests. Maybe some moms do it. But back in the day, you know, they didn't have that shit. They were just like, it's time to eat a soybean.
- [35:33]
A
What do you think is the most annoying thing to be allergic to?
- [35:37]
B
Well, peanut allergies, like, caused a lot of drama because if you have a peanut allergy, no one in your vicinity is allowed to have peanuts. So, like, in school, they'd be like, someone here has a peanut allergy, so no one can have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And everyone's like, what the.
- [35:55]
A
Yeah. Sometimes even on planes.
- [35:59]
B
Plane. Yeah. They'd be like, someone here. They always have someone. Somebody.
- [36:03]
A
Yeah. They're like, definitely.
- [36:04]
B
We're not going to say a name, but the girl on the front has a peanut allergy, so don't get pants. But apparently peanut allergies are now, I feel, like, less popular.
- [36:16]
A
I was gonna say so calm.
- [36:18]
B
Oh, no, no.
- [36:19]
A
Before.
- [36:20]
B
What were you gonna say? Who are you?
- [36:24]
A
Do you know? I have a girlfriend who ate so many almonds, she gave herself an allergy. She became allergic to almonds.
- [36:33]
B
You can overdose to the point that your body rejects it.
- [36:36]
A
She overdosed on Healthiest Girl I Know.
- [36:40]
B
Okay, well, it's going to say, if I was going to overdose on it, I would be a macadamia nut.
- [36:44]
A
Well, I mean, a fatty, greasy shoot. I'm allergic to.
- [36:47]
B
Give me a pecan.
- [36:47]
A
I'm allergic to pasta with Butter and Parmesan.
- [36:54]
B
No, that's like, whenever I was upset about the lettuce going around, I'm like, oh, no, I can't have a full salad with every meal. Oh, no. Dino, Chicken nuggets again.
- [37:04]
A
Like, also one. Like, in my 20s, I had this thought where I was like, oh, one day I'm, like, not going to eat pasta with butter and Parmesan cheese. Like, I'm gonna be an adult, and I'll, like, make food. I'm gonna eat pasta with butter and Parmesan cheese at least once a week for. Till the day I die.
- [37:22]
B
For sure.
- [37:23]
A
Like, it's the best thing ever. And for sure. Here's another thing. Not all Parmesan cheese is created equally.
- [37:33]
B
That pause was crazy. That pause for effect was created crazy about Parmesan cheese. She was like, everyone quiet.
- [37:41]
A
Not all is made equal.
- [37:42]
B
Not all parachutes. Yeah. And Parma Jean.
- [37:45]
A
And if you're not getting, like, finely grated, you're getting almost, like, it's, like, a little thicker. It doesn't stick to the pasta and the butter at the same way. So just know. I know.
- [37:57]
B
I know. Our drag race names.
- [37:59]
A
What are they?
- [38:00]
B
I'm Lasagna Del Rey. And your pasta Parmigina.
- [38:06]
A
Oh, I was gonna say. I don't know why Pasta primavera, like, stuck in my head.
- [38:12]
B
There has to be something cunty about it, though.
- [38:14]
A
Oh, right.
- [38:15]
B
Actually, pre Princess Primavera.
- [38:18]
A
What was your first one? Vagina.
- [38:21]
B
I said Parmagina.
- [38:23]
A
I like that, actually. I actually like that one the best.
- [38:28]
B
Parmigina is iconic now. I'm starving. But anyway, I have also a fake tan update.
- [38:37]
A
Okay, I didn't know we were. Were we following a story?
- [38:42]
B
Well, Haley Cherie Nicola had full government name, had told me to buy this, like, Amazon spray tan droplet thing just to, like, tan your face a little.
- [38:55]
A
Like, one ever, Just that you, like, mix with, like, your moisturizer.
- [38:58]
B
Yeah, exactly. So I bought it, and it actually was really good, which I was like, cool, I'll put it in the newsletter. It's, like, blue and white. Whatever. Okay. It's cheese. Like, $8. So then I put in my makeup bag, and then, of course, it, like, explodes make a bag. But I don't know that it's the fake tan that exploded. I just thought something exploded in my makeup bag, which, if I had a nickel. So I'm just going about my day with something that exploded, and then the next day, my hand looks like a cheetah because there's dots all over it, because I was like, rummaging. Through my makeup bag. And Lois is like, what's on your hand? And then I took a hair tie that was in my makeup bag and look at my Hannah.
- [39:47]
A
This is the most Hannah thing I that's ever Hannahed.
- [39:50]
B
This is so because. And this is why I can't have fake tan around me.
- [39:57]
A
Was it like when you were rummaging through your bag, like, was it wet?
- [40:02]
B
I thought a moisturizer had, like, exploded a little. And I was like, whatever. And I didn't want to go through and wash the 50 things in my makeup bag, which an adult might have done. But I was like, I can navigate this. I can deal with adversity. I didn't know that I was literally dyeing my skin so I looked like. I have just like, orange shit all over my hands.
- [40:23]
A
There's nothing worse than when something explodes in your makeup bag.
- [40:26]
B
And then I have a toddler yelling at me to put more makeup on. And I'm like, lois, I have a lot I'm dealing with right now.
- [40:33]
A
Oh, my God. I can't believe that happened to you. That is out. Oh, my God. Yeah.
- [40:38]
B
That's been a week.
- [40:40]
A
Well, at least, you know, it lasts. It's a great product and it's long lasting.
- [40:45]
B
And we will put it in the newsletter because look at that. It's not too orange.
- [40:48]
A
And they do what they say and they mean it.
- [40:51]
B
And they mean it. Do you ever do the tan contour? Do you remember that was like a thing for a week.
- [40:55]
A
I haven't done it in a while. Like, when's the last time I spray tanned? Like, before the summer. But I do do it every time I spray tan, because I don't. It's not that, like, I feel like fake tan makes me break out because I don't think it does. Like, some brands. Yeah, for sure. But, like, overall, I don't know, I just like, like my skincare routine. So I do my skincare routine and then I wait for like, a really. So that it, like, completely seeps in and then I'll do the contour. There's just something about putting it all over my face. I'm like, I don't know. But I. But then, like, when I go get a spray tan, like from a woman, I let her do my face and it's like the same thing.
- [41:38]
B
Do you do it during the summer?
- [41:39]
A
No. I feel like I'm so tan. Right, you are. And I, like, got a little sunburn at the beach, which, like. No, I've hit the age where I'm Mad at myself where I'm like, how the fuck did that happen? Like, you put sunscreen on, like, yeah, that's when you know you're. That's when you know you're an adult.
- [41:59]
B
Guys, I'm turning 35 in two weeks.
- [42:02]
A
Oh, my God. It's actually so chic. 35.
- [42:06]
B
35 is chic. And I'm getting all these Instagrams that are just like, your 40s are better than your 30s, and your 50s are better than your 40s, and your 60s are better than your 50s. This woman in her 40s was talking about how she's her happiest in her 40s because she said, your 20s, you don't know what the going on. And then your 30s is. Everyone is like, on a crazy timeline. Like, when are you having kids? When are you getting married? And it's just so stressful because of timelines. But she's like, your 40s. Everyone's given up on timelines because it. Things either happened or they didn't, and everyone's just living life.
- [42:39]
A
Yeah.
- [42:41]
B
So it's kind of.
- [42:42]
A
We're hitting the first round of divorces.
- [42:44]
B
Oh, yeah. They're coming.
- [42:46]
A
Let me tell you. They're coming in hot.
- [42:48]
B
Are we? We are.
- [42:49]
A
I guess I feel like I know, like, a couple people I kind of
- [42:55]
B
love, like, losing a friend to a marriage and then getting her back while you're still single and she went through a whole marriage and you're like, get back in her, girl.
- [43:02]
A
That hasn't happened to me yet.
- [43:04]
B
But you never know.
- [43:05]
A
You never know. You really know.
- [43:08]
B
I have some technological update updates from the woman in stem, the girls. And I think you also, I have to double check, are posting horizontal Instagram photos.
- [43:21]
A
Okay, well, I'm not trying to do it on purpose. I don't know how to change it to get it to stay.
- [43:28]
B
Oh, so you did it by accident?
- [43:29]
A
Yeah. Every time I do it, it's against my will.
- [43:33]
B
I know how to fix it. Whatever your first photo is, you choose in the dump is what dimensions will keep it.
- [43:41]
A
Okay, I tried that.
- [43:44]
B
So you tried to do long first and then move it? No, that's what you have to do. But Hailey Bieber posted horizontal today.
- [43:52]
A
Well, she probably can't figure it out.
- [43:55]
B
She can't figure it out. It's kind of like Regina George when she got her nipples cut. And then she was like. And started walking around. Everyone did it because you did it. Then she did it, and then I was like, I guess all the cool girls are doing it.
- [44:08]
A
No, I didn't do it on purpose. Well, because you want to know what's annoying? When I use my digital camera and I import my pictures, they're horizontal. So then I can't.
- [44:21]
B
Yeah, just don't have it as the first photo and then move it to the first photo after. Wow. I feel so. I feel like I t right now
- [44:29]
A
in your household are UIT or is Des it?
- [44:33]
B
It's so weird. Des's it. Well, when it comes to printers, tvs, it's Des it does because that's.
- [44:40]
A
He's really house manager over there.
- [44:42]
B
He's. It's. And he's exhausted. Like he came in, he was like, who left the umbrella open? And I was like, I didn't know we had an umbrella. It's chaos over here in these streets.
- [44:54]

There was some random theme night and I was always scrambling at the last minute trying to pull something together. Whether it was a Costume accessories, decorations or something. Group theme. I somehow never had what I needed and I was constantly making a last minute purchase to save the day. College is already so chaotic enough and it's always the little things that catch you off guard. That's why I love Amazon Makes off to college shopping so easy. So whether it's dorm essentials, school supplies, organizational items, or those last minute things you suddenly realize you need, Amazon has great deals, everyday, low prices, a huge selection, and the convenience to help you get it all in one place. So remember, with Amazon low off to college prices, just save on college. Save the everyday. You guys know I'm somehow always spilling something on myself. The other day I dumped an entire caramel latte down the front of my favorite sweater. Literally as I was walking out the door I was like, cool, I guess I can never wear this again. But I threw it in the wash with Tide Evo and I was genuinely shocked that it got the coffee stain out. So what even is Tide Evo? It's a brand new super concentrated laundry detergent that's built differently to be Tide's best clean. It dissolves quickly with water and is made of thousands of tiny fibers that are spun together in six powerful cleaning layers to fight odor, stains and extra work. It's 100% concentrated with no fillers, no extra water, and no plastic bottles. All clean and no fuss. Just what I want. I love finding new products that actually make life easier and Tide Evo has definitely earned a spot in my laundry routine. Whether my clothes have a stain or not. I'm using Tide Evo. Try the new Tide Evo super concentrated laundry detergent today. Hi, this is Debbie Millman from the Design Matters podcast and today's episode is sponsored by Lexus. Design isn't just about function. It is about feeling. At Lexis, every detail is intentionally designed. Master artisans don't just focus on what you can see, they obsess over what you can feel. The way the door closes, the precise click of a switch, the acoustic feedback of every control. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing experience. Amazing at your Lexus dealer. Hannah I'm going to be thinking about how you went downstairs, turned on the tennis channel. All you needed to fell asleep for two hours. All you needed to do was bet on that game and then wake up to see like if your bet hit or not. And you been a dad. You would have been a full dad and then you would have gone upstairs and been like dez. The is Dinner. Like, I was gone for two hours.
- [49:27]
B
No, I love, like, when sitting with the men and then the women get up to start cleaning, and I'm like, why aren't you guys cleaning? Yeah. They're like, why aren't you cleaning? I'm like, why would I clean?
- [49:37]
A
That is a very stereotypical thing that really grinds your gears.
- [49:42]
B
Well, because I don't know why women automatically have to clean. They cooked also. Especially when they cooked. But actually, my household, it's a rule. My nan and my mama cook, and, like, without. Not a second goes by, Pop and my dad are cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. And the dishes are. I mean, does that happen in my household? No, because we get Ubereats. I'm also going through a little identity crisis, okay. With my profile picture on Instagram.
- [50:09]
A
I meant to bring that up to you. I meant to bring that up to you. Wait, we have to pull it up for the people, because if you.
- [50:17]
B
Well, I changed it again.
- [50:18]
A
Wait, I need to see what you're. What you're at right now, because I changed it again. I just didn't type in your name. That was so weird.
- [50:28]
B
What'd you type in?
- [50:29]
A
Oh, you just changed it right before the pod?
- [50:32]
B
Yeah, I'm like. But I'm not sticking with that one yet. I was just testing it.
- [50:37]
A
Okay. I liked the one you had before. I thought it was, like, fun and
- [50:40]
B
cute and flirty for a second, I was like, should I be like, is it cool to not have, like, a professional photo up? Like, I'm like, let's stop being so serious. So then I was just scrolling, and I randomly just found a photo of me, like, doing a kissy face. Like, I didn't even know I had that photo. And it's not even, like, my favorite photo. I just felt like it was authentic. And then someone said, I don't like your pfp. So then I googled PFP and it's profile picture. So then I was like, okay, some young girl doesn't like my profile picture. So then I panicked before we started the pod and just picked another one. And then Haley texted me and was like, what's going on with your profile picture? So I'm kind of freaking out right now.
- [51:21]
A
I love being a girl. I love it. I love it so much. I love it so much. Like, no, this is the stuff I'm talking about. Hannah. Here's the thing. When I change my profile picture, I look for one person. Opin, and one person only. And that woman's name, Kimberly desorbo. Text your mom really? See if she likes it.
- [51:42]
B
No, but sometimes my mom will like photos of me that, like, are pretty, and I don't want a pretty photo.
- [51:48]
A
My mom speaks in very, like, honest terms. Well, like, almost like, honest, but, like, in an old school of, like, what year is it? Like, she'll be like, you look tough. I'm like. I'm like, like what? Like, I could beat someone up. You just. You look harsh. I don't.
- [52:06]
B
We're of the MySpace generation, and we like to reinvent ourselves with a profile picture.
- [52:12]
A
She likes when I look elegant where sometimes I want to look a little bad, you know?
- [52:18]
B
Yeah, you're bad girl. Yeah, sometimes you're bad girl. I feel like with mine, I had my Hulu Special, which is still available to watch, and. But I was, like, feeling like, okay, I don't need my Hulu Special photo up anymore. And then I was thinking of, like, random cool girls who, like, they have, like, their. Their photo of them as a kid. They're like, I'm just silly. Yeah.
- [52:41]
A
Where it's like, it's not even, like, a picture of them.
- [52:44]
B
Yeah.
- [52:45]
A
You want to know who has a real. Like, who I always think is really good. Josephine. Josephine has had the same picture of a dog that is not even her dog for years.
- [52:55]
B
See, that's cool. It makes no sense.
- [52:57]
A
It was a dog she saw on the street. When you. And when you ask her about it, she has a cool story. Yeah, it was a dog she saw on the street in Japan. And it's like, yeah.
- [53:06]
B
Oh, my God, she's so cool.
- [53:08]
A
Yeah. I'm like, that is, like, really cool.
- [53:10]
B
I think that. I didn't think consider trying to be cool. And then I didn't know how to be cool. And now.
- [53:17]
A
And those are the coolest girls of all.
- [53:19]
B
That's what. You're my best friend.
- [53:20]
A
You have to rework it.
- [53:21]
B
Yeah. Wait, you literally just. You said, don't say that about my friend.
- [53:24]
A
Yeah, you're.
- [53:25]
B
She's the coolest girl you know.
- [53:27]
A
You're literally so cool. And also, like, what makes a person cool? Being hilarious and gorgeous. Okay, check, check.
- [53:36]
B
But, like, you know what I was thinking? I. I think in the past, people think I'd be cooler if I didn't smile as much.
- [53:42]
A
You want to know what? You're so nice. That's what it is. You're so approachable. And usually, like, really nice people don't get the word word cool thrown around. And if you get the word cool thrown around, you also have to be ready for.
- [53:57]
B
You're Right.
- [53:57]
A
So, like, I take the good with the bad.
- [54:00]
B
She goes, if you want to be cool, you also have to be if
- [54:02]
A
you want to live this life and
- [54:03]
B
you can't handle that kind of heat. If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
- [54:07]
A
Yeah. I feel like you're so nice.
- [54:11]
B
You're cool, but, like, not. You're actually, like, so sweet. Like, you're not mean at all. But, like, I know there's people in this industry who are mean.
- [54:18]
A
Yeah.
- [54:18]
B
And everyone's like, they're so cool. And I'm like, when to become cool to be mean?
- [54:22]
A
Well, people are scared of them. I feel like people are scared of them. And, like, they're the kind of people that, like, they're like, if you don't have group mentality and think like me, you're not cool. Where I feel like, we're not group mentality, people.
- [54:37]
B
We're not. We're not.
- [54:38]
A
That's why sometimes we're not that cool because we're like, we don't want to. We're not going. Like, how many times are we, like, actually, we're not going. Like, we don't know.
- [54:46]
B
Sometimes we're not cool because we're. We are not group mentality. Mentality. And then sometimes we're cool because we're not group mentality. And it's like, 50. 50.
- [54:53]
A
Can you just say the same thing twice?
- [54:55]
B
Yeah, but also, I think I was playing too much tennis during my high school years. I didn't think about these things. And you did.
- [55:04]
A
About being cool about.
- [55:06]
B
About, like, how you're perceived.
- [55:08]
A
I started being perceived at a very young age, so I had to think about it. Like, I didn't want to think about it, but I had to.
- [55:16]
B
And I was purely perceived in the sports realm, which is literally like, that's a score. That's a score.
- [55:22]
A
And I think that's why I, like, I always leaned more mysterious. That's why it's so crazy that I even did reality tv.
- [55:29]
B
Oh, I'm not mysterious. I'm not mysterious. You know, it's funny, we never talk about this, but, Paige, at first, during the. What's it? Auditioning process. Is that what it's called?
- [55:41]
A
Yeah.
- [55:41]
B
I remember I had heard back. Jordan heard back. And you heard and heard back yet? And I remember seeing you and. Sorry, was that public knowledge? Okay.
- [55:53]
A
Like, okay, what did I do?
- [55:56]
B
No, but I remember seeing you, like, in the office.
- [55:58]
A
And it wasn't that I didn't hear back. I didn't get it.
- [56:02]
B
Oh, see, I Just didn't know if you, like. I didn't. I didn't hear that. You got told no. But I remember thinking, like, she looks. Looks too cool.
- [56:11]
A
I didn't know. I didn't get told. No. I didn't know. I didn't get it. I just assumed by not hearing back. And then when they called me and said two girls dropped out, I was like, oh, so I wasn't. I was like, so I wasn't.
- [56:25]
B
Well, because, let's be honest, you were shy, stylish, very New York Scorpio. I didn't see you as someone who wanted to be all out there.
- [56:38]
A
No, I didn't. I didn't want to at all.
- [56:42]
B
I could see you as a news reporter.
- [56:43]
A
I just knew it was gonna get me something else that I wanted, and that's why I did it.
- [56:48]
B
See, I've never been mysterious a day in my life.
- [56:50]
A
Yeah.
- [56:51]
B
And the producers were like, this is gonna be good.
- [56:55]
A
I don't want to say, like, I knew. Like, I knew how to game the system, because you don't at all. Reality tv. You were so crazy. But I definitely. There were certain times where I was like, yeah, I'm not doing that.
- [57:06]
B
You were always better at saying no to situations where I was a little more desperate to be like, but they won't like me or they'll get mad if I don't, like, join in. Where you're. You knew from a young age. She knew. She was a.
- [57:25]
A
I haven't yelled at anyone in a while.
- [57:27]
B
Yeah, because you're. You're not being paid to.
- [57:29]
A
And. Oh.
- [57:31]
B
Oh, that felt good.
- [57:32]
A
That was an eyelash. See? And this is how it happens when you're like, and whose eyelash is this?
- [57:38]
B
Mine. Did you just kind of fight with yourself? You were like. And then later on in the day, when I forget that, I put that there. I'm gonna go fight with someone. I haven't yelled at someone in a second. But that is fun. Just to go up to a guy and be like, whose eyelashes is this?
- [57:53]
A
No. Do you know how many times I've fought with boyfriends where I've been like, whose is this? And then I'm looking at it, and I'm like, that is mind.
- [58:00]
B
Remember when I didn't know about where does. About the shorts? That was a woman short. And does is like, those are my European shorts.
- [58:09]
A
Vaguely. I vaguely remember this. Wait, did you text me or call me?
- [58:15]
B
When we first started dating? Right under his bed, there were, like, these little shorts. And I was like, is this, like, soccer Mom's shorts. Like, is he like, does he have a secret family? And I literally was like, whose shorts? He's like, mine. They're from Ireland. Finally. Also, people are putting multiple captions on their Instagram photos. Have you seen this? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? I'm stressing out. I'm stressing out. It's like homework.
- [58:47]
A
So glad you brought that up, because, like, no, like, truly. Stop.
- [58:51]
B
Wait, you're telling me you're putting. You're doing a dump of 18 photos with 18 different.
- [58:56]
A
The anxiety it took me to even post this dump and think of one caption. You want me to think of the
- [59:02]
B
anxiety of making sure I didn't accidentally go horizontal? But that's. Didn't we used to do that with Facebook albums where you'd comment under every photo that you posted? Do you remember that? You'd be like, stephanie lost in beer pong. Lol.
- [59:17]
A
Wait, that's like a real caption I had.
- [59:19]
B
Yeah.
- [59:20]
A
Stephanie never lost, though. Stephanie's really good.
- [59:23]
B
Also, the stuff people would put from. You go to a party and you'd get papped basically the entire time by a random friend.
- [59:29]
A
By ourselves, literally papped you each other.
- [59:33]
B
And then you'd have the worst photos of you, maybe people making out, doing illegal things. And I'm like, you just posted that on the Facebook album.
- [59:41]
A
And we were live and we were not cringe. And we, like. Do you remember, like, when people got drunk for the first, like, yeah, when people were getting drunk for the first time, there was an inevitable crash out. Like, if you're drunk for the first time, you have to at some point crash.
- [60:00]
B
That was scary. Ow. I was scared. Everyone was scared.
- [60:03]
A
And I just feel like I. I feel like the kids aren't doing that well.
- [60:10]
B
It's definitely not being recorded. I mean, it is on a digital camera, but it gets deleted. We used to not even look through it. You just took the chip, put it in, and pressed post.
- [60:20]
A
Yeah, but they have it way worse than us. Like, literally everything they do gets recorded. And so to think that, like, some of those nights when you're, like, a senior in high school would be. Yeah, actually can. That actually makes me scared.
- [60:33]
B
No. Yeah, but we were talking about, like, when our kids. One day, people were like, what if your kid finds out you did reality tv? I said, good. They should learn about history. They should learn about betrayal. They should learn about storylines, and they should learn about character development, development, and Growth and non growth.
- [60:52]
A
Was it you that I was just talking to this about? I was just talking about this to someone and I was like, I used to be like, oh my God. I would be like, kind of like not ashamed, but like, no, you're gonna
- [61:02]
B
sit my child down and be like, and after World War II, there was summer house.
- [61:07]
A
And now I'm gonna sit and I'm gonna be like, look at this man. Look at his face on the screen. If anyone ever says these words to you,
- [61:16]
B
if anyone speaks to you like
- [61:18]
A
that, this is what I want. You see mommy stance here? You gotta stay firmly planted two feet.
- [61:25]
B
Do you see how my finger goes right into his face?
- [61:28]
A
And that' going into his soul? Okay?
- [61:31]
B
And he's going to wake up in his 60s and that's still going to be repeating in his head. He's never going to find peace. And that was our lesson for today. Thank you guys for giggling with us. Have an incredible beautiful week. Do it and we'll talk to you later.
- [61:46]
A
Bye.
