A
Sup, Gigglers? Gary, fix your WI Fi. Manifest that we can't be managed. I mean, the day just got away from me.
- [00:16]
B
What's up, my gassed up Gigglers? It's Friday. Sorry, that was Millennial.
- [00:21]
A
That was. But it's okay.
- [00:23]
B
There was a woman standing behind me. It's crazy to call a woman Millennial. Like, that's a girl. But she was saying, totes. And. And I was like, oh, Lisa, not as Millennials. Her totes. Like, she was on the phone. She was like, totes. Totes.
- [00:35]
A
I forgot about that.
- [00:37]
B
Then at the airport, I see a lot of parenting, which is very fun because I, like, some people are, like, showing off their parenting. Some people are, like, ignoring their kids. Every now and then, someone yells something crazy, and this kid ran in front of his mom, and she goes, someone's gonna steal you. Kid was like, 17. No, I'm just kidding.
- [00:58]
A
My mom used to do that, too. Like, do you want someone to take you? And then you'll never see me again?
- [01:03]
B
And I was like, ma', am, no one wants your sticky kid. Yeah. But anyway, I'm in Ohio all weekend.
- [01:09]
A
Jealous.
- [01:10]
B
On Sunday, I go to Salt Lake City, the scene of the crime. No pun intended.
- [01:14]
A
I know. We always seem to do that. Like, we talk the most about something, and then we're like, hey, no, we
- [01:22]
B
were talking about the rodeo, and someone messaged me, and they're like, the rodeo guys really won't find this funny. Like, watch out if you see a guy in the airport with a cowboy hat.
- [01:29]
A
I don't think I'm coming across anyone in the rodeo anytime soon. And if I do, that's on me. Check my location, because why am I there? I don't bother them, and they don't bother me.
- [01:43]
B
Also, they call each other partner.
- [01:45]
A
I digress.
- [01:49]
B
Anyway, how are you.
- [01:51]
A
I going to speak my truth, and then you speak yours?
- [01:54]
B
My favorite thing to do.
- [01:55]
A
Okay.
- [01:55]
B
I thought you were about to say, I forgot. You're going to forget.
- [01:58]
A
Talk, obviously. We announced our Netflix show, which, like. Let's just take a minute.
- [02:05]
B
Let's take a second, because let's take
- [02:07]
A
a moment of silence. That was really good.
- [02:11]
B
Okay. That was really good. We. You realize. Let's give some, like, backstory, because the gigglers are like, okay. Hello. No, that's why I was like, did this come from.
- [02:19]
A
Let's speak our truths.
- [02:21]
B
Let's speak our truth.
- [02:22]
A
Okay, so here's my truth. Let me get subtle. Here's my truth.
- [02:27]
B
There could be multiple truths, and multiple
- [02:29]
A
things can be true at One time, I think, like, people forget, like, nuances and things can be happening simultaneously. So let's go back to summer 2025. I wrap up my last season of. Which will soon to be my last season of Summer House, unbeknownst to the people, almost a little bit unbeknownst to me. But I'm feeling it as the summer's wrapping up and I leave that very last day of Summer House. And as I'm walking out the front door, stepping down the steps, I have a moment where I'm like, you're probably never coming back here. But I say nothing.
- [03:06]
B
Literally. Hannah Montana.
- [03:08]
A
Yeah.
- [03:08]
B
Walking out the door.
- [03:09]
A
This is probably the last time you're gonna do this. And that, that was, like, my gut feeling. We go into September, we go into our insane 60, we kick off our 60 city tour.
- [03:23]
B
Was it that many cities?
- [03:24]
A
I think so. Maybe it was like 52.
- [03:26]
B
You can't count while you're doing it.
- [03:28]
A
But I feel like we've talked about the tour so much, but we've never really been able to speak, like, exact facts about the tour because we couldn't say this. We didn't. We couldn't say day we were writing a show and we were gonna pitch it and we were gonna sell it and we were gonna do all these things. So, like, months ago and even, like a year ago, I feel like I've said so many times, like, how transformative that tour was, but, like, now I feel like people really realize how transformative it actually was. And let me just set the scene for the gigglers. I'm having panic attacks left and right. I'm like, red if there's a bridge nearby. Like, Hannah's literally keeping me away from it. Like, I am truly going through. Through it.
- [04:13]
B
You were just like a body. I was moving through cities.
- [04:19]
A
I was like, yeah, I can't even explain. I was a shell of a person. Like, I'm in the middle of just, like, totally changing my life. And me and Hannah are with each other every single day. So obviously we're still being funny amidst the chaos. Yeah.
- [04:36]
B
Just because you're a shell of yourself doesn't mean you're not hilarious.
- [04:39]
A
I can't crack a joke.
- [04:41]
B
That's my darkest is when I'm actually my funniest. That only way to get through.
- [04:44]
A
I think that's what it was. I was at my darkest and I was like, I think I'm also at
- [04:48]
B
my funniest when I'm happy. I'm quiet.
- [04:51]
A
Right. Right.
- [04:52]
B
I'm content. And, you know what's bad for comedy? Being content.
- [04:56]
A
Correct. So we're with each other every single day, and obviously we just start, like, doing bits. We're doing bits left and right. We. We can't stop cracking jokes. And so we finally get to a point where we're like, Hannah's like, I feel like I should write some of this down. So we write down an entire. Basically an entire show, and we just, like, keep adding to it. And we just like. We're like, that's really funny. This is really funny. Fast forward. We're doing our last couple shows, and we're at Radio City, and we're like, wow, this tour was. I changed as a person. I changed as a woman. I changed as a friend. I changed as a dog.
- [05:32]
B
Can I also say, we do talk a lot of shit, and we love gossip and we love riffing and being silly improv. But me and you have done a lot of giggly squad. Not physically in the same place.
- [05:45]
A
Yeah.
- [05:45]
B
Also during very different times of our lives. Like, me off the show, you on the show. And we still managed to, like, keep the chemistry alive. So that tour, when we were, like, together 24 7, we were making money moves, like, we were sitting together. I remember me, you, and Grace sitting at lunch before a show. Do you remember? And I was like, would it be crazy if, like, we did a scripted comedy show? And I really had no idea what you were gonna say. And you, like, without us, a PA no pause. We're just like, yeah, yeah. And I was like, can we throw some ideas around? And you're like, yes.
- [06:24]
A
And so we just start, like, riffing. We just start going, which simultaneously. We have no idea. Nobody knows. We're, like, creating this. Or, like. Because at this point, it's just, like, for the two of us, like, we don't know what we're going to do with it. We do our Radio City show, and then I would say, what, Like, a month later, Amy Poehler reaches out.
- [06:44]
B
We found out that Amy Poehler is a giggler. And, like, you know, like, you have general meetings with people sometimes.
- [06:50]
A
Yeah.
- [06:51]
B
And she was like, I love giggly squad. I love your guys's chemistry. And I actually, like, couldn't. That was like. That was the craziest moment.
- [07:00]
A
She invites us to her office in L. A. Was the first thing that we did.
- [07:04]
B
Yeah.
- [07:05]
A
It was almost like a deja vu moment. Like, it was almost like a moment where we were like, no, we're supposed to be here. And this is the exact conversations we're supposed to be having. So this was, like, a full year ago that Amy was like.
- [07:20]
B
And let's also be clear, Amy Poehler is a genius.
- [07:24]
A
Yeah.
- [07:24]
B
One of the greatest ever. Do it.
- [07:26]
A
Yeah.
- [07:26]
B
And kindest. And the creator of Broad City.
- [07:30]
A
Yeah.
- [07:30]
B
Which me and you love.
- [07:33]
A
No. Like, there were times. This is, like, how I can sum it up. I don't even know what industry we're in. Like, whatever industry we're in currently. Like, I don't feel like I've had an experience the way I've had an experience, like, being on a zoom with Amy Poehler, where she's, like, such a freaking expert in her field. Like, we would go through scenes and, like, be writing jokes for certain, like, monologues or whatever, and Amy would get on the zoom and be like, change this, this, do this and that. And I would just sit there being like, yeah, why the fuck wouldn't we have thought of that in the first place? And I just think that's such a good example of, like, yeah, you're an expert. You just came in and in five minutes, things that we've been working on for four months, you just made better in literally a second.
- [08:26]
B
And the fact that she saw something in us, I think gave us confidence to be like that. She's just like, be yourselves. Like, I don't want to turn you into anything else. She's like, I could work with this. And I'm like, oh, my God, what a compliment. You could work with whatever.
- [08:40]
A
Yeah. Well, our moms have been trying to figure out how to work with this for 34 years.
- [08:46]
B
And then going on her podcast was like a dream. I was like, amy, you don't have to do that. But that was just a natural, I think, because she's like, loves Giggly Squad so much. So this was the kind of thing you can't plan. Like, it just kind of happened from us doing our thing and. And putting ourselves out there, because we also could have been like, no, we're scared.
- [09:05]
A
We don't want to do. Right. And here's the other thing. Like, just because Amy's production company said, like, yeah, we want to make a show with you, like, did not mean we were any further along. Like, we still had to pitch to different networks. And at this point in time, I now have to make a decision if I'm going to continue being on Summer House or if I'm going to say no and take a chance. Because I knew that if we wrote this show and if Amy Poehler's wanted to make Amy Poehler's production company Wanted to make it and we sold it to a network I knew I would not be able to do it. And so I was in a situation where I felt like I either had to take a chance and believe in myself or go back to like, chaos that I knew, like the comfortable chaos or like take a chance on my, like, self in the unknown.
- [10:01]
B
And I do have to say you went through a time where it was kind of like ripping off a band aid because you were changing multiple parts of your life.
- [10:07]
A
Yeah.
- [10:07]
B
And it was one of those. Well, I got rid of that. It's like when you're cleaning and you're like, fuck, I'm throwing everything away. Reality TV is a risk every season cuz they make the character they want you to be. And they do say you stay long enough to see yourself the, the villain.
- [10:23]
A
Yeah.
- [10:23]
B
It's the kind of thing where, yeah, if you were creatively involved in the show to make it funny and, and inspiring and stuff, that's great, but you're not.
- [10:31]
A
I just knew. Yeah, I just knew if I went back that this would never happen. And I wanted this to happen way more then I wanted to like, continue to be on reality television. And so I made that decision pretty much, I guess, like in May of that year of last year. And so now we're like a full year. And I, I mean, obviously, like, couldn't be happier with my decision, but it
- [11:01]
B
is so funny how like giggly swad. We can just post stuff. Like today we're gonna say what we think, what we thought was funny today. Yeah, we're like, industry stuff takes forever. And we still have so much work to do, you guys. Like, we have so much to do. It was just like the initial steps with it, but we just want to feed the gigglers with more incredible, funny, hilarious content. And having Amy Poehler like, loving the gigglers is just h. It couldn't be cooler.
- [11:30]
A
I think it's also like such a good example of like, obviously, like, being a feminist means like so many different things, but it's also like something that I feel like I'm noticing for the first time being like 33 and being like older than some people when we're in meetings or like, whatever. And I just think Amy Poehler is a really good example of. She's already at the table and making room and seats for other women. Yeah, like opening the door. And I just, I feel like that is like, what Giggly squad is too like you. If we get somewhere, it's because we also want to like, make sure that the gigglers can get there too. Like another girl in our position. Do you know what I mean? Do you know?
- [12:13]
B
Well, she's at the point in her career. Yeah. Where cuz she's created this production company where now she can put on people she's into. And that's where I think we eventually want to get to in our careers, is to be able to like, show other people the way that we were able to.
- [12:29]
A
And I think that is like an example of success is being able to like, open the door for other women who are younger than you but like, are and were in the same position you were in at some point.
- [12:42]
B
100%. And especially like, as a female standup, there's so many women in standup who are like, kind of struggling alone because the men don't want them there. So then when I find that community or like bring these girls on the road, they're like, wait, there's a standup show where it's just like women like being themselves, like in the locker room, making fun of everything. So it's like really important that you don't leave a girl out to pasture in these male dominated spaces. And I don't care if it's tv. Comedy has always been male dominated. And even seeing like the top 10 podcasts, like half of them are female podcasts and comedy right now.
- [13:24]
A
Yeah.
- [13:24]
B
And it just gives. It gives me so much joy. It makes me so happy.
- [13:29]
A
No, I mean the fact that we're writing a comedy, a scripted comedy show, like, oh, my God. I thought like my super bowl commercial was like, harnessing all my ex's energy, but this is like, really harnessing, like every man that was like, you're like, kind of funny. You're not like, funnier than me though. I'm like, oh, my God, everyone hates when you talk. Like, you know, I just like feel like this is like my ultimate revenge, truly.
- [13:56]
B
Oh, my God. But I think we're gonna learn so much from Amy. Like, she's our mentor and we're just like gonna take it in and just how she carries herself in every situation. I'm just gonna copy her.
- [14:09]
A
Also, like, how she is on zooms. Like, do you know how many times like, I go on zooms? And I'm like, Amy Poehler would just, like, get to the point. Like, I really love her zoom etiquette. She's like, hi, let's get to.
- [14:23]
B
Also, I can't explain the feeling, but when you're on a zoom with Amy Poehler and you're pitching a TV Show. Yeah, whatever said. I'm like, yeah, Amy Poehler's on the call.
- [14:32]
A
Right? Like, you want to question this Amy?
- [14:35]
B
Respect Amy Poehler. You're going to question what we're saying. Amy Poehler's here.
- [14:39]
A
One time we were on a zoom with Amy. We also. You have to say Amy Poehler.
- [14:43]
B
Yeah. You can't just say Amy because we respect her. We don't just say Ames. Right. It's Amy Poehler.
- [14:47]
A
One time we're on a zoom with Amy Poehler, and she was, like, doing her makeup and, like, getting ready to, like, go out, and she just, like, fit in our zoom. And it was like my. I literally had a moment where I was like, oh, we're all just girls. Like, at the end of the day, we're just all girls. It's just my dream come true. Like, all I'm thinking about is, like, my character's outfits.
- [15:10]
B
Well, yeah, that's what you're excited about. And I'm. I'm stressing. I'm like, we need a script. We need the script page. And she's like, we're good. We know what to do.
- [15:17]
A
Yeah. I'm like, my opening scene outfit is phenomenal.
- [15:20]
B
Also, shout out to K. Cannon, who is writing, directing also. And she was behind Pitch Perfect. She also wrote on New Girl and 30 Rock, so that's royalty right there.
- [15:32]
A
No. So it's just like, a bunch of girls getting together and, like, putting together a really funny fucking show.
- [15:40]
B
I have two women of step women in stem of the week. Again, I'm obsessed with this new segment. We've had three.
- [15:46]
A
It. First of all, it's not a new segment. You just made it up. And so far, we've had three this week. So it's not real.
- [15:56]
B
But the power's gone to my head. I'm making up segments, and I'm going, don't you guys love this segment? And they're like, this is the first time you've done it. So first of all, there's a girl on Instagram who figured out a new way to get the juice of lemon out. And I knew you'd like this because you're obsessed with my hat. Doesn't it seem like when you cut a lemon open and then you're squeezing it, you're like, I feel like there's a lot of juice that's being left, and there's. It's all in my hand, and this is just too graphic. All you have to do take a knife or take a straw or take something pointy.
- [16:27]
A
Okay.
- [16:27]
B
You know the side of the lemon that has the bump?
- [16:30]
A
Yeah.
- [16:30]
B
You poke that to, like, to the middle of it.
- [16:34]
A
Okay.
- [16:35]
B
And then just squeeze and it comes out like juice. And it's so easy and comes out better.
- [16:41]
A
Wait, I literally am going to do this when we get off the pod.
- [16:43]
B
Yeah. I just have to figure out what you poke into it, but I feel like anything that pokes, it would work. And then I got on, like, a weird algorithm of these, like, oranges that people are obsessed with. Have you seen that? Yeah. Sumo oranges.
- [16:57]
A
I think we're on a very different algorithm.
- [17:00]
B
It got. It got weird over here.
- [17:02]
A
Yeah, that seems.
- [17:04]
B
But I just want to say shout out. Sumo oranges are having their moment. They're kind of the it girl right now. Like, all the girls are obsessed with it.
- [17:11]
A
And they're like, no Ozempic over here.
- [17:13]
B
Yeah, no, they're definitely like, how do I say this? Body positive.
- [17:18]
A
Yeah.
- [17:19]
B
And they look gorgeous and they love who they are and they're shameless about it. And they're on a full press tour right now on TikTok. So that's what I've been getting. And the second woman in STEM of the week. Did you see the girl who sued Meta and Google?
- [17:33]
A
No.
- [17:34]
B
Some girl. This is like 20 years old or something, sued Meta and Google because. Claimed that they purposely made her addicted to social media, and she won the lawsuit and got $3 million. So that's when I say, first of all, love a woman. Wait, making money.
- [17:52]
A
First of all, Gen Alpha is the Karen of all of us.
- [17:57]
B
And one. That girl's never been wrong in her life, but now I'm like, so where's. Where's the. What do they call it, Subsidiary checks? Where's the rest of the checks for everyone?
- [18:06]
A
To me, that's giving. Like, I'm suing McDonald's because it made fat because I ate McDonald's. Like, yeah, okay, well, there may be.
- [18:15]
B
They can change something to stop purposely making the algorithm so you're addicted to it. But, like, I think we're. We're. We're way past that.
- [18:23]
A
I think we're. Yeah, that ship has 100% sailed.
- [18:27]
B
I guess it'll probably get appealed, but if that holds up, all of us should be getting 3 million in the mail soon.
- [18:34]
A
Was this in America?
- [18:35]
B
Yeah.
- [18:36]
A
I don't know how I feel about it.
- [18:38]
B
If you're not going to give it to everyone, you can't just give it to one girly pop.
- [18:41]
A
Yeah. Like, I don't get how that got
- [18:43]
B
through because it's I don't get how that got got. But suing Madden, Google is iconic to be like, I can't get off my phone, and I can't. I can't stop looking at my ex. My ex's ex girlfriend's cousin's page. Give me $3 million. But it is ruining the world.
- [19:00]
A
Being sued just in general is, like, punty. Like, suing someone and being sued, it's just, like, cunty. Honestly, my assistant said the other day because she has to go in for jury duty, and she said that she really hopes she gets picked. And I'm like, except that we have a job here.
- [19:17]
B
No, she. She literally will. Would rather do jury duty than, like, answer your texts.
- [19:22]
A
And this is why she's my assistant. She's like, okay, but I could go one time and wear a really cute outfit. And I'm like, yes, but do not get picked. I'll die.
- [19:31]
B
Your assistant, like, wants to fire you. I'm obsessed with her.
- [19:35]
A
She's like, what if we did, like, no work tomorrow? And I'm like, honestly, genius.
- [19:39]
B
She's like, guess what? I canceled all the meetings. Do you know you could do that? She's like, I just figured out I have free will and I canceled all our meetings today.
- [19:47]
A
The other day. She was like, I'm just going to cancel that. I'm like, no, I have to go. She's like, okay, but don't you feel like you're going to be tired? I'm like, yeah, but I have to go to it. And she's like, ugh, okay.
- [19:58]
B
Your assistant is a local Italian man who's like, we don't work from 11am to 5pm and then we're tired. Wait, from lunch all day.
- [20:09]
A
Daphne. Like, brand Daphne, not cat. We get like, our, like, our poplin stuff. We get, like, this. Our 100 cotton from Italy. And so, like, we had to put an order in prior to Christmas. And so the guy that we deal with in Italy, like, our order had to be in, like, say it had to be in by, like, December 10th. We're like, okay, like, we'll pick our stuff by December 10th.
- [20:33]
B
It stresses me out so much, I would have missed the deadline.
- [20:36]
A
He calls us in the beginning of December, and he's like, actually, you guys have to, like, decide by today because Christmas is longer in Italy this year. And we were like, that is the most Italian thing ever. Like, oh, it's longer, Justin. It like, what are you talking about?
- [20:52]
B
He goes, it's not a Christmas month. It's a Christmas year.
- [20:55]
A
Yeah, we're like, was like, it's actually four weeks this year. We're like, okay, Luigi, like you're pulling, like you're pulling our leg. No.
- [21:02]
B
Which is crazy cuz I went to Italy like once when I was little and I remember us trying to get lunch, but none of the lunch places were open because every they were eating lunch. And I was like, this is like, what kind of.
- [21:12]
A
They're like looking at you stupid like, you didn't plan lunch.
- [21:16]
B
They're like, I can't make you lunch if I have to eat lunch. And I'm like, well, someone's going to be hungry and it's going to be me.
- [21:21]
A
No, there's nothing I love more than like real Italian people in the country of Italy. Because it's. There's just. It's just so different.
- [21:28]
B
It's so different. Lois and Bobby visited. I'm so obsessed with them. Lois is your daughter?
- [21:37]
A
Yeah.
- [21:38]
B
When I tell you I like unders, I feel like I connect with her because I connect with you. Like, I'm like, I know this breed of girl. Like, I know how to play the game. This is Lois. She's walking down the street and she goes like, gasps and I'm like, what is it? And there's a woman walking towards us who's like, pretty with like a beautiful dress. Now I wouldn't have noticed this. I'm in my own thoughts, fighting my own demons. I said, what is it, Lois? And she goes, she's fancy. And I'm like, okay, I, I'm. I tried today, but I guess I'm disgusting. And she was like. I was like, tell her you like her dress. And it was so cute. She was like, I like your dress. And the woman smiled. And then I looked at her and I just was like, do you like my outfit? Because I think like, I'm a princess too. Like, she thinks I'm a princess, right? And she just goes, no.
- [22:31]
A
Like, why would you ask that?
- [22:33]
B
She was like, no.
- [22:34]
A
It's like you were insulting to that woman previously that had a great outfit.
- [22:38]
B
Like, no, she literally was. And now I'll play like Vogue or like a Drag Race thing. And whenever I play it, she just starts like fashion walking. So I'm creating a full monster.
- [22:49]
A
No, I love it. There's nothing I love more than being girly.
- [22:53]
B
Amazon is great when you need a quick specific thing. And she loves mermaids, she loves purple, and she loves sparkles. And if you guys don't forget, I got her a purple mermaid thing without sparkles. And she Was like, where the fuck are the sparkles? Without cursing, obviously. And I said, I'm so sorry. I'll do better next time. I got her a sparkly mermaid purple
- [23:12]
A
bathing suit so you could have a daughter that's super girly. Like, you get it.
- [23:17]
B
Oh, I love it. She opened she. And then she puts it on immediately, even though it's, like, nighttime and she's walking around the house with it. And then she goes, take a photo. Send it to Paige. She's like, send it to someone who
- [23:33]
A
would really appreciate, someone who cares, you
- [23:36]
B
know, someone who has taste, who would understand this moment.
- [23:41]
A
No. When I was in third grade, I got a dog for Christmas, and I opened the box and I said, mom, I love this fur coat.
- [23:48]
B
And she goes.
- [23:50]
A
She goes, that's a dog, okay? That's a living, breathing poodle, not a black fur coat.
- [23:56]
B
I said, oh, I'm not getting a fur coat.
- [23:58]
A
Yeah. I was like, so is the matching coat coming? Or. Santa forgot that, like, hello. That I feel, like, truly sums up, like, where my brain goes.
- [24:07]
B
She also went into my closet, and it was cute because I remember going to my nana's closet. I think it was so cool. She was going through my closet, and she was loving it. And I was in my head thinking, like, if she was in Paige's closet, she would be having so much more fun right now. Because I have a lot of T shirts.
- [24:21]
A
I know. That's why I feel like if I were to have a daughter, at some point, like, I'm almost like, is God gonna give me, like, some type of lesson where it's like, just because she's not girly doesn't mean, like, you can't connect with her. You know?
- [24:36]
B
Our poor kids are gonna have to hear these podcasts one day. Have you been like, I hope it's not a. I hope she's cute, okay?
- [24:42]
A
I hope she's cute, and I hope she's got a mouth on her. Okay? She stands up for herself.
- [24:48]
B
Oh, she will.
- [24:49]
A
What else is going on? Are you watching any documentaries?
- [24:52]
B
Well, I was watching Twisted Yoga.
- [24:54]
A
Yeah.
- [24:55]
B
By the way, this is very Giggly Squad. And we talked about this yesterday when we were FaceTiming. We love talking about something light. And then randomly out of nowhere, just saying the darkest, most traumatizing thing you've ever heard. No.
- [25:07]
A
I was on the phone with Hannah, and I was like, a giggler. Just DM'd me. And in such a giggly squad way, she's like, hey, girl. Like, I love you. Just broke up with my boyfriend. Of 13 years because he cheated on me with my best friend's like, whatever. So I'm. I moved out. I'm getting a cat. Do you have a litter box you could recommend? I'm like, what?
- [25:29]
B
Literally.
- [25:30]
A
So, like, let me give you the backstory real quick. Not important. Do you have a link you could send me?
- [25:36]
B
And I'm like, talking about little sparkly mermaid dresses. Then I'm like, so there is this twisted yoga documentary where no, these girls were getting locked into rooms in Romania. It's so interesting, the cult mindset, because, like, they've been doing these, like, great yoga classes for, like, two years. Like, not. Nothing creepy's happened. So then when they're finally, like, getting kidnapped and they have sunglasses on and a hat over their head and they take their phones away, they're like, oh, it's because the Romanian government doesn't like his teachings and they've been trying to get him, and we can't let anyone know where he is. And then if one girl is like, he's awesome. You're like, okay, I'm the crazy one.
- [26:17]
A
Yeah, well, crazy one. Yeah, I get that for sure. Get that.
- [26:25]
B
So that was episode two of Twisted Yoga.
- [26:27]
A
Do you think that, like, you know how, like, every, like, couple of years, there's, like a workout fad that's like, everybody's doing it. Even if when you watch, like, the JFK Jr. And, like, Carolyn Bessette show, there's, like an episode and she's, like, doing a workout with her sister and it's like an old school workout. Like, do you think Pilates at some, like, there's going to be like, like, documentaries about, like, what's going to happen to the. The classic Pilates girl in, like, five years?
- [26:54]
B
Question.
- [26:55]
A
Is that going to be done?
- [26:57]
B
Pilates is, like, not as spiritual.
- [27:01]
A
True.
- [27:01]
B
It's a little more as yoga, but I do think, like, Pilates is giving. Like, the fact that that guy on that show was like, I need a girl who does Pilates. Like, it's becoming a thing. Like, it's like a hot girl.
- [27:15]
A
Remember Zumba? Nobody talks about Zumba.
- [27:18]
B
You know, still does Zumba. My mom, every Tuesday, she has Zumba classes after her knitting club where she talks.
- [27:28]
A
Wait, speaking of, did you see Jesse went on Call her daddy and was talking about her divorce, and she was like. And we got to a moment where he said to me, I really want you to be more in your feminine and me and my masculine, and I want you to do Pilates every single day on top of being the breadwinner, taking care of the children, doing everything. He doesn't work.
- [27:52]
B
Add that to the red flag list if a guy tells you to do Pilates.
- [27:55]
A
I dated a guy one time who was really crazy about what I ate. And let me tell you, I was in the best shape of my life, truly. But, like, I almost, like, think I. I don't even know because I feel like I've dated guys who have seen. Said, like, weird things to me about, like, working out and eating. Yeah. Where I'm just like, that's so weird and crazy.
- [28:19]
B
Well, there was a moment where I was trying to be a fitness model, a sports model. You guys remember when I did my Adidas campaign and my cat, it was just my calf.
- [28:26]
A
Yeah.
- [28:26]
B
And I was dating a guy who was, like, obsessed with the gym, and he would, like, cook for me, and it was always, like, really healthy. And my mom was like, hey, is he being controlling? And I'm like, I'm trying to be a fitness model. So, like, things made sense at that time. Looking back, I'm like, that wasn't sustainable. I was definitely, like, to fit.
- [28:43]
A
Yeah.
- [28:43]
B
But I just want to say something just to give confidence to any girl. You guys know me, right? We know each other.
- [28:50]
A
I see.
- [28:51]
B
I've never had a man I was with tell me that I was too masculine for him. Mind you, I am the butcher. Straight girl in the world. I am literally lesbian passing. I've never had one man tell me I'm too masculine. I've actually had a man be very confused and say, hey, I was talking to all these pretty models, and I looked at you, and you were sitting man spreading, and, like, talking really loudly, like, passionately about something. And I'm like, why am I more attracted to her? And I was like, I don't know, babe. It's called. It's called Riz, okay? And no guy has ever told me anything about my body. And my body's fluctuated. But guys who want to be with me, they like an ass. They like her. They don't. Guys have actually said, don't get too skinny. It's less, like, feminine, masculine. And, like, your body's right or your body's wrong. It's how you carry it. And being authentic to yourself and attracting. When you're authentic, you attract. Attract authentic people. And I think a lot of those Mormon housewives are so fucked with their religion, and they're forced to be with these guys at such an early age before they know themselves. It's like, you guys aren't a Good fit. You're not a good fit.
- [30:03]
A
The Mormon housewives husbands are very like, manosphere on a diff. In a different way also.
- [30:10]
B
You could argue, babe, am I in my masculine energy or are you in your feminine energy?
- [30:15]
A
That's what it is. I've never had someone be like, you're too masculine. But I have had men say, you're just, like, way too independent. Like, you don't. Like, you don't need me. I'm like, not only do I not need you, I don't want. I think your opinion is dumb as like, I think. I think you should go to see a doctor and get checked. I think you're not all there.
- [30:39]
B
Whenever someone stays in a bad relationship, people always go, oh, he must be good in bed. He must be good in bed. And maybe in the very beginning you're like, oh, but we have this sexual chemistry. But I do have to say, the second a man pisses me off or does something that's distrustful or does something that's gives you the ick, like, or just you decide you don't like him anymore. I don't care how beautiful his dick is. How good chemistry we have in the bedroom, suddenly you look disgusting to me.
- [31:07]
A
You look like clowns.
- [31:08]
B
You look like a clown. Okay, like the. I don't. The guy. But also even, like, physically, if a guy looks perfect and then he opens his mouth and he's not funny and he's weird and insecure, you look like a clown.
- [31:21]
A
No, the way I can get so grossed out after I have the ick. Like. Like, I could literally. You know me, I'll throw up at any time when I'm anxious. Like, I'll literally throw up looking at a picture of.
- [31:34]
B
You're such a cat. You have to watch. You guys. If you're like, need us to laugh, just Google on YouTube. Cats gagging. It's the funniest.
- [31:43]
A
Literally. It's literally me when I have to go to a club, I'm like, no, I can't. When I know I have to socialize past 1am I'm like, I'll actually throw up. Like, I can't physically can't do it. I'm uncomfortable.
- [32:00]
B
Did you watch the Hannah Montana special?
- [32:02]
A
No, because. What was it? I don't get it.
- [32:05]
B
Okay.
- [32:06]
A
I'm also, like, kind of really confused because I'm 33 years old. You're 34?
- [32:12]
B
Yeah.
- [32:13]
A
I feel like we miss. I don't remember watching Hannah Montana.
- [32:17]
B
I had a very awkward moment because I was with some people and one of them was like, I don't know if I'm dead inside because I love Hannah Montana, but I watched the special, and I wasn't like, you know, crying hysterically. And my other friend was like, I was crying hysterically. It was amazing. And I was like, you know, I am 34, and I missed that boat. Like, I was even Stevens. I was, you know, Hilary Duff. But, like, that was, like, I missed. Also, I was kind of annoyed with Hannah Montana because she was so fucking famous that every time I introduced myself, I say, hannah. And someone goes like, hannah Montana. And I'd be like, I was first.
- [32:56]
A
I was at the age where I was. I watched one episode, and I was like, obviously, that's her. And if you can't tell that, that's her.
- [33:05]
B
So the plot is that she's like a pop star at night.
- [33:08]
A
The plot is that she's two different people. She's like. She just changes her hair slightly. Yeah, her hair is just slightly. She's wearing a wig, and then she's not. I'm like, yeah, I'm past this age.
- [33:19]
B
Is it bangs? No bangs.
- [33:20]
A
If you watched Lunette and Molly, you didn't watch Hannah Montana. You aged out. Like, I.
- [33:27]
B
Embarrassing. I go, guys, I'm way older than you. Like, I did not watch Hannah Montana. And the girl goes, I'm 33. And I was like, no. I guess there was a.
- [33:37]
A
Unless they were. Here's the only way I can think of it. Unless they were the older sibling.
- [33:43]
B
Oh, yeah. Maybe it was a household, but I'm the older sibling. But, like, my brother wasn't watching it, obviously. But you're right. Some people with younger kids.
- [33:50]
A
34. You definitely aged out. Maybe 33. We were on the cusp. But I don't think it is funny
- [33:57]
B
how one year can, like, change your entire, like, entire perspective of things. I had the craziest Gen Z interaction, which you guys know. I love my Gen Z's. I identify as Gen Z. This girl comes, she says, hey, can I take a picture? And I said, of course. Gen Z Queen. Excuse me, can I talk to her again? Get in the car. She's like, can I get a picture really quick? And I said, you keep me young. Of course. And she stands next to me. We take the photo, and she looks at me, Swear to God, she said that. She goes, do you remember 9 11? I gasp. I said, what? She goes, do you remember 9 11? Like, as if it was like, yeah, never.
- [34:36]
A
Did you get babe?
- [34:37]
B
As if you said, like, did you watch Girls when it Came out. Like, that was how she said the
- [34:41]
A
live premiere of Girls when it came out.
- [34:43]
B
Yeah. Like, do you remember Destiny's Child when they were still together? Like, that's how she, like, said it.
- [34:48]
A
And what'd you say?
- [34:49]
B
I said, yeah, babe, I was there. I could smell it. Which obviously was too far.
- [34:53]
A
Wait, that. Too far? Hannah, that's really.
- [34:59]
B
Yeah. I remember 9 11. It traumatized everyone around me. And she was like, I was born that year and I was like, a trap. But I think it's like, a thing where Gen Z's are, like, deciphering people by being like, who remembers 911 versus who doesn't? Like, that's like a new categorization of people.
- [35:17]
A
Yeah. I feel like, as a millennial, it's like we have too many. Like, what? We have something that happened once a year, once every six months. What are we talking about?
- [35:25]
B
No, I literally can't keep up. Everything comes across my desk anyhow. Anywho, you really made me laugh yesterday when you. I don't know where this came from when you just mentioned split wise. Okay.
- [35:40]
A
So when me and Hannah were on Summer House, like, you pay. We pay for a lot more things, I feel like, than people would have ever realized.
- [35:47]
B
Okay. Back then, it was. That show was scrappy. Like, your didn't come from Amazon in time. You didn't have an outfit for the party.
- [35:55]
A
Yeah. Like, you were done. So, like, we paid for a lot of things, like, together. And so we had this app called Split Wise, and I feel like that
- [36:03]
B
it was so popular. Like, my. My roommates use Split wise, and it was so annoying. You'd always get a split wise bill, and you'd be like, what the.
- [36:10]
A
And so, like, at the end of the weekend, you'd get hit with a bill, and it was like, how much of your portion you owed? So, like, I can, like, remember when it fell off. Like, I feel like we, like, stopped using it, like, in one summer. Whatever.
- [36:23]
B
Because I was like, what is this app? I'm not downloading this app. It's gonna give. It's gonna give me a virus. I'm not downloading. People would go off and, like, buy a bunch of groceries, and then next thing you know, you get hit with a huge Split wise. And I was like, okay, if I'm gonna pay, can I have many champagne bottles you guys get? Or, like, I'm not drinking the champagne.
- [36:45]
A
Maybe throw a cheese it on the list.
- [36:48]
B
One carb. Yeah, maybe one carb for me.
- [36:51]
A
The majority of your 20s is, like, divvying up checks.
- [36:54]
B
Yeah. And then, like, getting random, like, $2.30 Venmos from people.
- [37:01]
A
And honestly, thinking back on that, like, I remember being in group chats, being like, can you believe she hit me with a Venmo for 2.47? And now I'm like, oh, which, what simpler times.
- [37:15]
B
The drama was a lot also back then, we'd, like, randomly have cash on us. I'd be like, I have a 10.
- [37:19]
A
I still, like, I always have cash on me.
- [37:22]
B
Well, you're Italian. That's very Italian of you.
- [37:25]
A
Something happened. Do you want to know really what it is? Sometimes randomly, even though now, like, you can use your card, but, like, being out in New York City and, like, living there for as many years as I've lived there, I'm always down to get a street hot dog. I'm always down to get a pretzel. Like, if there's an ice cream truck coming by. Yeah, that's an experience. I'm getting it. So, like. And also being in New York, sometimes, like, you can only stop it. Like, if you need a water, you're like, you're going to die. Like, that is why I always.
- [38:01]
B
Hello. Like, there was also a time where they charge, like, four extra dollars if you use a credit card. And I was like, I actually can't do this. It's against my religion.
- [38:10]
A
Literally.
- [38:10]
B
I do have, like, moments of, like, after a night out. It's like 2am you smell the halal guy. You go over and he's trying to. He's like, $9. And I'm like, I know it's seven. I'm a local. I know it's seven.
- [38:24]
A
Or even on, like, a Sunday morning, like, checking my bag, being like, I have $4. Let's go get pizza.
- [38:30]
B
Or literally, you'd be like, whoever the guy is, you'd be like, adam, you know me, I come here every weekend. I only have $3. I'll give you the rest later.
- [38:40]
A
I've never once hooked up with an Adam or, like, talked to one. I feel like it's, like, not a name that comes across my desk is
- [38:46]
B
the middle name of someone in my family. It's kind of cute. Adam.
- [38:50]
A
I never get DMs. My DMs are really ramping up of baby names. I've named half of whatever that generation is about to be.
- [38:58]
B
Okay.
- [38:59]
A
I actually, I. If you want to know if your baby name is popular, you should ask me, because I'm seeing. I see a lot of them.
- [39:07]
B
Because, yeah, you have to make sure the gigglers aren't calling their kids all the same name because we need, like a range for the next generation of gigglers.
- [39:13]
A
There's an uptick in Cecilia's and like just Celia's, just to let you guys know.
- [39:18]
B
Oh, just Celia.
- [39:19]
A
Just Celia.
- [39:20]
B
Do worry about it's going. Going, gone.
- [39:22]
A
Yeah, it's going.
- [39:24]
B
I worry about the Cs and the Ss and the complications of that as a child, however beautiful. I mean, Sicily. Gorgeous. That's a fun name.
- [39:31]
A
Yeah.
- [39:32]
B
I want to ask you about your supermarket. Speaking of split wise supermarket etiquette, I like, don't know this about you. Are you a cart girl? Are you? I'm just gonna grab a couple things. Are you a put a. What's it called over your shoulder? A basket. A basket.
- [39:51]
A
I'm never a basket.
- [39:53]
B
Oh, you don't like that aesthetic?
- [39:55]
A
I've never basketed once.
- [39:57]
B
I love a basket. I can't commit to a cart.
- [39:59]
A
It's too heavy. If you're gonna do a basket, just do a cart.
- [40:03]
B
Well, I think what I do is I start with a basket and then I realize I need a cart. And I do that every time because I don't learn.
- [40:09]
A
I start with, I'm just gonna grab one thing.
- [40:13]
B
Yeah.
- [40:13]
A
And I'm gonna hold it.
- [40:15]
B
Yeah.
- [40:15]
A
Hannah, there's so much I can do with my fingers. You have no idea.
- [40:19]
B
That's. That's woman. Instead.
- [40:21]
A
I can carry so many things.
- [40:23]
B
Do you know what's crazy? Walgreens, Duane Read cvs. If they had carts, shit would be crazy. Like, I feel like they're almost like for people's well being. We can't get carts in these places.
- [40:35]
A
I actually have a gripe with, like, convenience stores. Now, listen, we live in the land of bodegas, but bodegas are like very different than, like a, than like a CVS or a Duane Reade.
- [40:45]
B
Yeah.
- [40:46]
A
I don't know if it's because of Amazon or like, everything's happening online. Do you know that you cannot walk into a CVS these days and, like, get a birthday card or like, like you can, but the sil. You remember, like, you used to walk in as a child and it'd be the whole row and it'd be like, birthday for him, birthday for her, birthday for someone you don't know that well, like Holy Communion, Bat Mitzvah. You can't really walk in and get like a birthday bag, tissue paper and a birthday card. And it's infuriating to me.
- [41:18]
B
I think you fully nailed it. Or if it's Something like, Christmas comes around, and people are buying, like, bags. They're all sold out.
- [41:25]
A
Like, I get all of my Christmas paper, and I'm, like, very proud of myself because I. It's something I really love looking for, is Christmas paper. I get all my Christmas paper on Etsy.
- [41:35]
B
Yes. Small business stuff. I got cute little tennis racket ones from a company.
- [41:39]
A
But, like, cvs. Truly. In high school and college, like, if you couldn't find me, my mom would call me and be like, you're at cvs, aren't you? Like, I was always in there.
- [41:50]
B
Because you love the makeup.
- [41:52]
A
No, I just love a cvs. I'm like, yeah, let me try this trinket. Like, this is a new color. Haven't seen this. Like, I just love that type of shot. Like, I don't even know what that kind of shopping is.
- [42:05]
B
It's called stuff you don't need, which is. And stuff you do need.
- [42:09]
A
I'm like, I don't have a car nail file. And, like, what if something happens and I need a nail file in the car? Like, nothing brought me more joy than, like, my first car and, like, truly packing it with things that I'm like. Like, this is adorable. Like, this is gonna go in there.
- [42:24]
B
I actually remember when I was younger, for some reason, at one point, me and my friend go into, like, a cvs, and she was like, my dad gave me his credit card. We can get whatever we want. I lost my mind. I was like, we're rich. Like, And I was like, we're getting Reese's Pieces. We're getting this magazine. Like, I was like, this is life. Doesn't get better than this. Than being to pick anything from cvs.
- [42:45]
A
Everyone has that one friend in high school where they're like, whatever. I have my dad's car. And it's just like, now, like, now that you're in your 30s, you're just, like, so interesting. Where are those men? You're like, where are those men? Do you not one man has ever given me his card. Like, I feel like that is diabolical. More men need to be showing me their cards, okay? I'm sick of it. I've had, what, seven boyfriends in my life? I don't have one card. I didn't have one card in my possession.
- [43:21]
B
You'd look so good with someone else's card.
- [43:23]
A
Wait. One time, I had my boyfriend's. A guy that I dated. I had his card. For some reason, I had to get something for him. Whatever. We had gotten into a fight earlier
- [43:33]
B
that day you bought a Lamborghini.

I went to lunch with my girlfriend. I spent $250. I said. I said, whatever. I'm putting it on the cart. It was how. Okay, it was inside of Saks. The restaurant was in fact inside of sacks. I went and I put it on his card. Okay. I thought, like, I'm being naughty. Whatever. You gave me your card to pick something up for you. The least you could do is pick up my lunch.
- [43:53]
B
Yeah.
- [43:54]
A
Livid. He was livid. He was like, I can't believe you would use my card unauthorized. I was like, it wasn't unauthorized. You gave me your card to get you something. And then I picked up a little something extra.
- [44:06]
B
You guy got hungry also. That's like. That's the payment for doing that, right?
- [44:11]
A
It's also like, this is the America you created. Like, give me your card.
- [44:17]
B
That reminds me of me. The naughtiest I ever was was using one of my ex boyfriend's dad's cable passwords to get like, optimum or. I don't know what I did, but it was like 10 years. And I also gave it to a lot of other women. So I actually think I was like the Peter Pan. Or it was like a Hulu account or something. I don't know. But I. I like, saw people would post, be like, does anyone have a Hulu password? And I'm like, I do.
- [44:38]
A
Yeah. Back in the days where they didn't, like, track it to your home.
- [44:41]
B
Yeah. Yeah. I'm the reason places had to be like, you're the reason tracking.
- [44:45]
A
Yeah, Netflix changed all the rules.
- [44:47]
B
Well, that's like our lime wire side. We're like, we gotta figure this.
- [44:50]
A
Like, I'll hack it.
- [44:52]
B
No, I do miss going to the supermarket with your mom. And you're just like, can we get this? And she's like, no.
- [45:00]
A
That's really sad, because you dread that when it's happening. You're like, the last thing I want to do is walk into the grocery store.
- [45:07]
B
You have to carry everything.
- [45:09]
A
And now what I would give to, like, be in the passenger seat in my school uniform, my mom being like, we're just gonna stop quick, like simpler times.
- [45:19]
B
And you're like, are you gonna make that sucky salmon dish again? Kim, step it up. I can't eat this crap anymore now
- [45:26]
A
in my adult life, I'm like, I wish you could just come make a salmon for me.
- [45:30]
B
I have something else that's gonna piss you off. So I saved it for the end.
- [45:33]
A
Great.
- [45:34]
B
The men are at it again. So they were, like, upset that we did girl dinner, and it, like, had such good pr and they're starting this thing called boy kibble. I know. Let us have one.
- [45:48]
A
What the fuck does that mean?
- [45:50]
B
So it's basically boys being like, this is like girl dinner, but healthier and manly. So it's them just taking, like, ground beef or ground turkey and, like, putting some rice in it and putting some vegetables in it and just, like, basically making themselves dog food.
- [46:04]
A
And they're calling it boy kibble. Are they cooking it?
- [46:08]
B
Yeah.
- [46:09]
A
They don't have an original thought ever. Like, they literally. Everything is, like, piggybacked off of us.
- [46:17]
B
It's like, well, look, the gays and the girls are the best at branding. So, like, obviously, they have to wait and see, like, what we're doing, and
- [46:23]
A
then the gays really are the best at branding. Like, there's so many things that have come from, like, the gay community that then trickle into, like. Like, the girls, and then we start saying it, and then the men, like,
- [46:36]
B
I mean, I'm watching RuPaul's Drag Race.
- [46:38]
A
So many things have been invented.
- [46:40]
B
They were saying sickening. In 2014, they started Slay.
- [46:44]
A
You know how they were like, what did women invent? Like, nothing. I couldn't tell you one thing. Like, if you said right now, name one thing a man invented.
- [46:52]
B
War.
- [46:53]
A
And what a great note to leave off on.
- [46:55]
B
Thank you guys so much for giggling with us. We love you so, so, so much. And you guys are the bestest. And have an amazing, wonderful.

A
