Giggly Squad Podcast

Hosts: Hannah Berner & Paige DeSorbo
Episode: Giggling about boy moms, being Amish, and Brazilian waxes
Date: January 28, 2026

Overview

In this delightfully candid episode, Hannah and Paige leap headfirst into a range of typically “Giggly” topics: boy moms and mother-in-law dynamics, the anxiety of being accidentally Amish, personal care confessions (from Brazilian waxing to laser hair removal), their elevator humor, run-ins with celebrities like Martha Stewart, and plenty of hilarious detours. The pair riff on pop culture, share raw personal stories, and trade observations on romance, family, and the bizarre pressures of being women in the public eye. As ever, nothing is sacred—and nothing is off-limits.

• The hosts joke about always being on the lookout for podcast content, sometimes startling their friends by noting ideas on their phones.

2. Men Do Weird Things Instead of Going to Therapy (Live Netflix Climber)

• Both hosts discuss the viral live Netflix climbing event, bemoaning “the things men do instead of going to therapy.”
• Paige: “First of all, I thought, this seems like a huge liability for Netflix…this guy dies. It's all done.” (04:29)

• Quote: Paige: “There are men that will literally throw a fit if their wife goes on a girl’s weekend. And this man’s like, hey babe — so I might die tomorrow.” (05:20)

3. The "Good Guy" Red Flag & The Traitors Discourse

• Paige lays down one of her dating rules: If someone has to keep telling you they’re a “good guy,” watch out.

4. Boy Moms & Mother-in-Law Drama

• “This is why you have to find a guy whose parents are dead. I live a peaceful life.” – Hannah (17:43)
• Both hosts agree: the boyfriend should lay down a firmer boundary, not go on the trip, and prioritize his partner of six years.
• Discussion touches on mothers who struggle to “release” their sons, and personal horror stories: “Some moms do want to have sex with their son, and that's something that's, like, above our pay grade.” (19:56, Hannah)
• Paige tells a mortifying story where an ex-boyfriend’s mother hit on the waitress in front of her, making her feel inadequate as a partner (20:52).
• Typology of Boy Moms:
  1. The mom you connect with deeply and become friends.
  2. The mom you're the opposite of, and he's breaking cycles.
  3. The mom you simply don’t connect with at all.

5. Pet Naming, Giggler DMs & Travel Mishaps

• Hannah describes helping a giggler name kittens (Sesame, Ricotta, Coconut) but explaining she prefers knowing a little about the owner before offering names.

6. Martha Stewart Encounter

• Paige’s Amazon/Martha Stewart episode aired. Martha was exactly as she seems: blunt, critical, yet iconic.
• Paige about Martha: “She was like, you could tighten it up.” (30:03)
• Hilarious exchange about changing sheets—Paige, who does hers weekly, is judged by Martha for not doing it more often: “It was as if I had leprosy. Like, I was the most contagious... she was like, once a week?!” (32:49)
• Surprised that Martha’s never ordered delivery food: “Why would I order pizza? I have an insane garden. If I want pizza, I’ll make a pizza.” (34:21)
• Both hosts admire how Martha commands a room and her critical approach.

7. Elevator (“Dad Joke”) Humor

• She admits dissatisfaction with the new color and how it aged her.
• Discussion turns to body hair maintenance:

  • Hannah: “I only laser my butthole. They come in, and I’m like, I truly…” (62:20)
  • Both discuss the vulnerability and awkwardness of professional waxing/lasering. Paige: “I can’t get on all fours and have this woman look inside my vagina. In my asshole.” (62:11)

9. Reading is “Amish,” and TV Recommendations

• Paige describes morning and night reading routines and feels “elevated” and “better than people” for reading a real book.

10. Personal Boundaries & Body Confidence in Showbiz

• Both discuss the normalization of changing clothes in front of strangers and how being “desensitized” is part of the job post-reality TV.
• “We are desensitized. It shouldn’t be like that…but you’re just at the point where you’re like, whatever, I don’t give a sh*t.” – Hannah (65:21)
• They reflect on being comfortable with their own bodies, the oddity of work environments where this is required, and how their backgrounds on all-women teams and all-girls schools play into this.
