Sup Gigglers? Gary, fix your wi fi manifest that we can't be managed. I mean got away from me. What's up my gotcha Gigglers? I'm saying it again.
Hannah
Well, because it's never not funny.
Des
It's never not funny. Someone was like can you guys stop saying gotcha? We said it for one and a half episodes. Buckle the fuck up.
Hannah
Imagine living with me. I literally imagine living with me. Daphne's let's start the pot off with Daphne and I on our first fight.
Des
What is Going on, Who's in trouble? Who did what?
Hannah
You know what's so crazy is because, like, the past, like, I've been with Daphne now for seven days. The past, like, six days, I've been like, daphne, isn't this amazing? We're literally going to be together every single day for, like, the rest of our lives. The tour is over. Like, I'm literally just obsessed with her, you know? Like, we're really vibing. This morning, she's, like, laying on the ground and I. And I wake up and I'm like, come up here, you crazy kitty. Like, get in the bed, silly goose. Yeah, you silly goose. What are you doing down there? She gets in. We're, like, nuzzling. We're loving. She goes to the end of the bed. She turns around, she's staring at me. And I'm like, what's going on? She's peeing on my bed whilst I'm in it. And I'm like, what's going on? What's going on? Why are you. I'm literally talking to her as if she's a human. I'm like, why are you doing this right now? What happened? Like, I think something's wrong with her. Then she takes a massive shit on the bed, and I'm just, like, running around. I'm like, what is the procedure? I've. I've only ever walked into it after it's been done. I've never been in the midst of it. I have to strip my bed. I have to bring everything to the dry cleaner, put all the sheets in the wash.
Des
I was like, I am so sorry, because this should not be happening. This is not in the cat rule book.
Hannah
I'm Googling everything. I'm like, what's going on with her?
Des
She's mad at you.
Hannah
I don't know if she's mad at me for something that I did because, like, the only thing is, like, digestive or, like, her litter box is dirty. And, like, her litter box is literally never dirty. I haven't.
Des
She's sparkling.
Hannah
She's been on the same food, like, for weeks. Like, she's literally.
Des
She's drinking every hour.
Hannah
I introduced her to wet food weeks ago. She was acclimated. She loves it. She's fine. She. I think she's just literally sometimes a.
Des
It doesn't make sense, though. The only time that this has happened to me with cats is my first cat, Trixie. Yes. She was named, like, a stripper. And we love sex work on this pod. She.
Hannah
We love.
Des
When I went to college, she Went to. When I went to. She went to college, Butters. Okay, I'm so tired right now.
Hannah
Here's the craziest part. I know. I know exactly everything you just said. I literally know exactly.
Des
I don't even have to finish the story. You guys know what I was saying? I go to college and Trixie just, like, shat in my room, and it's just like, one poop. Just saying, like, fuck you, bitch.
Hannah
Gotcha.
Des
This is what you do to me. That's how I feel. Gotcha. And then butter. When I was shooting Summer House, it was the first time I would leave her for, like, three or four days, even though I have a cat sitter. And she peed in my laundry, like, twice because it, like, smelled like me. And she was like, you okay?
Hannah
Well, then I started spiraling because I was like, what would she be mad about? And I was like, I have been here for seven days, and this is, like, the time when I would leave. And I'm like, does she, like, want to be alone?
Des
She's too much like her mom. Or maybe she thinks you might leave. She's traumatized.
Hannah
I don't know what it is.
Des
Did she make eye contact with you during it?
Hannah
She didn't make eye contact with me, but, like, I was yelling and she was, like, looking around and was like, I'm, like, doing something.
Des
They do say that cats don't understand, like, negative reinforcement. Like, if you. They just don't get that. I don't. I feel like you should get a vet to come over. Or you should get that guy, Jackson Galaxy. Have you seen him?
Hannah
No.
Des
He has this show called Cats from Hell. It's so good. It's basically like he's like the Gordon Ramsay of cats, where people are like, my cat's crazy, and shows the cat, like, beating up a toddler. Then he comes in and he's like, if he, like, figures out what the cat's upset about and then fixes them, then the cats are like, perfect. After. It's my favorite show.
Hannah
I need him to come over because that. Or like, a pet psychic. In my next life, I want to be a pet psychic.
Des
We need. We need. In this life, we need a pet psychic. We're going to do it for sure. I found some on Facebook. I'm just sifting.
Hannah
So they're reliable.
Des
No, those are the. If you don't get it from Facebook, I don't trust it. I want people who don't know that TikTok exists.
Hannah
My favorite profession. Sorry. My favorite profession is cat psychic. Animal psychic. Because, like, you. You made it up. You're. You could say anything to me. There's no fact checking. It's literally like someone woke up and was like, my job is vibes. Like, I'm literally. Vibes.
Des
It's literally someone being like, I'm empathic, but just with animals, which is. That's what I think.
Hannah
I hate when people say they're empathic. It's one of my biggest pet peeves. I should start a list of pet peeves. Because whenever someone asks me, what's a pet peeve, I can never remember it. No. Knowing full well and good I have so many. And that's a pet peeve. Honestly, a pet peeve of mine is not remembering my pet peeves.
Des
Write it. The. Write it down. If we don't write anything down, nothing would be said, truly.
Hannah
But I know that when people say they're empaths, I hate them.
Des
Well, not. No, I support pet psychics because I support women in the arts. And then also during COVID she, a pet psychic over the phone, told me that Butter is sarcastic and funny. And I was like, obviously. And then she told me she thinks Clyde is fat, the other cat, which I was like, okay, a little body shaming, which we don't love, but.
Hannah
And she funny, ugly.
Des
And has a widest vagina and a heavy flow. And then she also said that Clyde's stomach was hurting. And then two weeks later, we had to bring him to the vet because of, like, a worm. So either she put a spell on him or this shit is real.
Hannah
No, look, I support them. I'll give them all my money. If there's one thing I love, it's someone, like, being like, I have a talent. And me being like, yeah, I could never. I don't even. Couldn't even start to think about what you do.
Des
Do you know people talk about how, like, guys lose all their money in sports betting? Yeah, People don't talk enough.
Hannah
I love that for them now. No, like, I truly do. I love watching a guy, like, do really manly things that are so stupid that, like, a woman wouldn't even. It wouldn't even cross our fucking mind. Like, I think when I wake up on a Sunday, I'm like, what face mask am I picking? Like, what could it be? And guys are like, how could I possibly put my family in danger? How could I almost lose the house.
Des
For no good reason? Do you know what? We love this. These men finally know what it's like to be disappointed by other men.
Hannah
No, it's amazing. There's also something homoerotic about it because you're literally getting gassed up to watch all these guys in, like, super tight pants run around. And I'm not coming for you.
Paige
I'm sitting right there too.
Hannah
Like, I'll watch it. I love it.
Des
Also, the fact you think you know what's gonna happen in the game is giving. Like, you think you're an.
Hannah
It's giving. Yeah, it's giving. It's giving.
Des
Cats.
Hannah
Animal psychic. It truly is.
Des
All the men are animal psychics, but they talk shit on us. But I. I was saying that it's.
Hannah
Literally just reality tv.
Des
Like a man wearing a jersey of another man is like us wearing, like, road lip gloss.
Hannah
And I love it and I'll do it forever. Not to bring up the girls fighting. Can we talk about the Matilda Jerf?
Des
Yeah.
Hannah
Like scandal. If you guys don't know who Matilda jerk is, she, like, became really big on Tick Tock.
Paige
She's Swedish.
Des
She's Swedish. Which I thought Swedish people didn't fight.
Hannah
I didn't either. And she created, like an insane brand called Jerk Avenue. It has everything. A lot of money worth, a lot of money. It has, like, basics pajamas. Like, they're one of their, like, robes or whatever. Went like viral on TikTok. Doesn't.
Des
She's famous for being, like a sweet looking blonde with, yes, beautifully voluminous hair that's always blown out.
Hannah
She's been, like, in Vogue. Like, like, she's not like, tell me.
Des
That you model till you've been invoked.
Hannah
She's not like a small time creator whatsoever. She's big. And it came out. The girls that were working in her office, they did like a documentary, like, whilst working there. And they did. And they just said how, like, the conditions are horrible that she had, like, in the bathroom. There was one, like, good toilet, which I was like, that's so European.
Des
There's one toilet that massages your butthole.
Hannah
No. You guys are literally fighting about one toilet. It's crazy that she would let her favorite employees use and then she would make the employees that she didn't, like, clean the toilet. Clean the toilet.
Des
I didn't know she'd let other employees because at first people were like, maybe she just has ocd, but if she let her favorite employees use it, that's so weird. Like, you think their buttholes are cleaner than what? What I do have to say, I. I, like, I'm not trying to start drama.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
But I did meet her.
Hannah
You did? Where?
Des
When I interviewed Hailey Bieber at A Dunkin Donuts.
Hannah
Okay. So I think she was there. Haley is so lucky that the campaign with her was literally, like, two days prior, because I think it legit, like, sold out. But she's off the website now. The pictures aren't up anymore. And they did the cutest little collab. She did her hair like Cindy Lou who? Like, it's. I really. I really do love, like, Haley's branding. It was so cute.
Des
The only experience I have was, like, I actually said hi to her. She wasn't having it with me.
Hannah
And she was like, you can use the fourth toilet. Thanks.
Des
She was like, brush your fucking hair, you dirty American slut. No, she didn't say that to me, but I remember her. She was cold. But again, if that was a man.
Hannah
Look, it's so crazy to me because, like, I've obviously, like, we've worked in offices. I've worked in offices of, like, all women. I've worked in offices where it's, like, mixed. I can. Like, in an office setting, obviously, you're gonna have at least, like, one day where, like, you don't snap at someone, but, like, you're in a bad mood.
Des
Under a lot of pressure.
Hannah
Yeah. And you say something in a tone that you're like, I shouldn't have said that. Or like, I shouldn't have said, you're.
Des
Not sucking everyone's dick. You're not. Like, is everyone okay?
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
Like, there can definitely be a moment where someone could be like, you're a villain in. In someone's story at some point in your life. And thank God. And thank God.
Des
I feel like that's me, but I was just trying to make people laugh. But I offended someone.
Hannah
Like, so I get, like, being in an office, and it's like, oh, that girl's a bitch. Because, like, one time. Blah, blah, blah. This is on such a different level to, like, literally think of things to do to people or not do is so insane.
Des
Yeah. And I don't want to simplify it being, like, if she was a man, this wouldn't happen. I think there's assholes on both ends. And I would argue sometimes female bosses have, like, really mental terrorism that they will do.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
Like, male bosses will just be, like, dicks, misogynistic assholes. And then female bosses can be, like, weird with specific people and stuff like that.
Hannah
I. I honestly, I. I'm so thankful and grateful. Like, I had one female boss, and she was the best thing that ever happened to my life. Like, and I'm. And I'm so thankful for it. Because I. It was in my early 20s and I think about it all the time now. Like, when I am telling certain, like some people, like, what to do at any given moment, I literally always think of her and I'm like, she was so nice and understanding and just like, whatever. And now like, I have to be like that.
Des
Imagine Grace comes out with a tell all tomorrow.
Hannah
Well, I literally kept thinking about Grace because I was like.
Des
I was like, we have one employee. One employee who, you know. Okay. She literally was joking.
Hannah
No, we have like. No, we have like three.
Des
No, we have more. But like, Grace is our CEO. Like, she's my right hand man. And it's funny because she was once. She did sit me down. She's like, I feel like I'm learning so much. This is so fun. And like, I've all this stuff. And I was like, well, I'm like grooming you. And then we pause. I was like, not like that.
Hannah
Not like that. Cut to literally eight months later, we're on tour and you're like, grace will be carrying my children. I don't know why that's non negotiable.
Des
We're talking about babies. And I was like, grace, is your ovaries available? But. And then she texted me because I was like, I miss you. Because Grace is back home now because the tour is taking like a pause. And she was like, I feel like I have Stockholm syndrome because I'm not with you and Paige and I miss you. No, but we got so lucky. But it's because we have like, a small environment. When you start getting like a big office, it gets crazy. However, I understand, like, Jerf is the brand. Anything that goes wrong, it's on you. It's a lot of pressure. I'm totally about being fucking serious, hardworking, no bullshit.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
I do not understand the like, weird toilet things and the freak outs on people. It's unnecessary. A girl, all this stuff comes out of the woodwork now, obviously, but some girl says she did a mod.
Hannah
Did a what?
Des
I did a modeling campaign with her.
Hannah
And well, that's the other thing. Then like, people come out of the woodwork that like, have even like an ounce to say. So then it like piles on and like, half of those could be true, half of those could be, not be. But I just like, I can't also. There's something about, like, starting as no. 1, becoming an influencer, then having like a ton of fans, then, like, it's almost like you even have more of a responsibility. And not that I'm like, oh, my God, you have to be nice every single day. You literally don't like. But you can't go out of your way to literally ruin people's lives. That's crazy. And it had to been really bad for them to all get together and be like, hey, this is not okay.
Des
No, they're all risking everything. But I guess they're at the point where they're like, I'd rather be fired and expose her. Oof. Yeah. I'm just upset because now I feel like all the Swedish stereotypes I had in my head are wrong. I watched an amazing documentary called Child Star on Hulu, produced and, like, done by Demi Lovato.
Hannah
Okay, I saw the advertisement.
Des
It's fucking incredible. Like, Drew Barrymore's on it. Raven Simone's on it. The girl from the Missy Elliot videos on it.
Hannah
Oh, yeah, From Cheaper by the Dozen.
Des
Yes. So. And this kind of reminded me demo sits down with one of the child stars she was with and how, like, the first season of Camp Rock, like, they had so much fun, and then Demi Lovato blew up, and the next season, she was like, she's staying at the Ritz or, like, somewhere fancy. And there was, like, this disconnect between her and her old friends, and the girl basically was like, you. People were scared of you. Like, you watched the moment of her being like, you traumatized me and, like, you were a monster. And.
Hannah
Wait, that Demi Lovato traumatized people?
Des
Yeah. But you later learned that, like, Demi Lovato was bipolar. Like, worked. She was work. She had, like, 350 shows in a year. And she's a kid, so people are just like, no, you have to keep working. You have to keep working. And it was. It was very interesting. And. But it's hard to be, like, these kids, stars being like, I made millions of dollars and got famous as a kid. And it was really hard. But someone like Raven Simone, who is a giggler, by the way, she's honestly one of the reasons I went into comedy. Like, that's so Raven changed my life. Like, her facial expressions, everything.
Hannah
Wait, did you see, like, the. The disc on Tick Tock about there? The. I was just gonna say the Today show about. That's so Raven. What Raven Simone said on a podcast, Like, I think, like, young kids, like, young boys watch my show because I had big boobs, and it's all these guys, like, stitching the video, being like, I was, like, seven and, like, it was funny and, like, I liked the plot. Like, can I not laugh now?
Des
Like, wait, Raven it was not your boobs. You're fucking hilarious. The cast, I'm sorry, was the funny Oscar that show. It was so fucking funny. That and. And Amanda Bynes.
Hannah
But, like, it was an age that, like, there was no sex. You didn't think. You didn't even have a thought in your brain of, like.
Des
But you know what? I do feel like, subconsciously, boys were like, I like this for many reasons.
Josephine
Yeah.
Hannah
But like, I was trying to think, like, did I look at the boys in that show and was I like, oh, I have a crush on them.
Des
I feel like when I watched Drake and Josh, like, you knew that Drake was hot.
Hannah
You knew that? Yes. Okay. Yeah. You knew that. Like, Drake, you knew he was hot.
Des
But you weren't like, I want to give him a hand job. You just were like, oh, he's. I want to stand next to him.
Hannah
Let's go back to that. Let's truly go back.
Des
I'm not touching your dick.
Hannah
No.
Des
You could be in my presence.
Hannah
Let's go back to, like, you trying to just hold my hand. Just try and hold my hand. Because anything else, it's too much.
Des
Wait, can I tell a traumatizing story? Trigger warning.
Paige
Yes.
Des
My, like, first boyfriend in high school. This is such a New York story.
Hannah
That just sounded literally your Regina George. My first boy's friend in. In high school was named Kyle. And, like, he moved away to Indiana.
Des
His dad invented toaster strudel. No. But we were like, in. We couldn't go to anyone's house because it was like our parents house. And like, no one knew we were dating. So after school, we, like, went to, like, Sheep's Meadow park and we were like, kind of kissing. And I remember that I felt he. I felt he had like, a little, like a boner. And I was so embarrassed for him. I was like, oh, my God, is he embarrassed right now? Like, that's so embarrassing. And we're kissing and then we look over and a homeless man is jerking off. And I was like, I don't like this game anymore.
Hannah
That's so traumatizing.
Des
That was so New York City.
Hannah
And now I'm like, trying to think, did I ever notice, like, the. What was the first time I noticed, like, a boner? Like, did I know what it was?
Des
You think that it's like they have something in their teeth and you're like, do I tell them like or like. Like they farted? It's like, that's what I thought. It was like. I didn't realize that that was the point of it all. I thought it was just like a side thing.
Hannah
Literally I can't remember. I feel like I've just like blocked out anyone. Like before a certain age I'm like, you didn't like literally exist.
Des
They fingered the side of your leg until we were like 26. And that was, that's something else we have to work on in society.
Paige

Back to Raven. Shout out. Raven, you're like literal number one fan right here if you're listening, but you're probably busy. She started working at 16 months old and then she got on the Cosby show and just did not stop working from then on. And she, she was very clear that like it was a job, it was always a job. And during that's so Raven. She was like, I hated it. Like, I didn't sign up for this. I, I just wanted a normal life. Like she didn't enjoy it. And it's so crazy to something that brings us so much joy was causing so much pain for these people. And then a lot of them would like just turn to drugs and stuff. And then long story short, there's control in Hollywood because there used to be this the first like famous kid ever back in the day. Apparently his parents just like took all his money that he made. So he was like, he made millions of dollars. And then by 18, like there was nothing left. So there's a rule.
Hannah
Homicide would ensue 100%.
Des
There's, like, a law now that, like, a certain percentage has to go into the child's trust. But you know what? That there isn't a law to organize. Everything is ch. Is child influencers. So these kids are now doing the same thing. Like, they get born, the parents are working and working and working and working. I'm traumatizing them, forcing them to work. And the kids aren't promised any money, so it's like they're just making a ton of money for their parents. And let's be honest, we've done reality tv. We do performances when you're in front of the camera. That's not real life.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
Once a camera is on, you are performing.
Hannah
Maybe that's why Daphne shit in my bed. She's like, I won't. I won't work under these conditions. I won't have it.
Des
She's like, I saw your ad two days ago. I see you using me for.
Hannah
Stop putting me in your fucking grid, dumps, bitch.
Des
She goes, talk to my agent before you fucking take a photo.
Hannah
I fantasize that Daphne, like, swears like a trucker in her head. Like, this fucking bitch.
Des
I think all cats do. They said someone says a cat's face always looks like you just asked them to pick you up from the airport.
Hannah
Oh, God, no. We're so old, I. Literally, all we do is laugh about cat stuff and Kanye west to be.
Des
Like, a little more. Oh, my God. Someone said something funny. Yesterday, I was at the Hollywood Improv, and they were like, you know, the year's been crazy when Kanye west hasn't speak in. He's like, I'll. I'll sit out on this one.
Hannah
Hasn't speak in.
Des
I am in Hollywood. I was. Doesn't. I really failed?
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
Vacationing?
Hannah
No. Can you explain this? Because, like, this is, like, part something that, like, we do as partners, and, like, we don't think twice about it, and the men get mad.
Des
So the reason why I think Des and I work so well is because he's lived this life before, and now he's just tired. So everything I'm going through, he's been on that side and knows how it feels. So he's lifting me up and empowering me. But it sucks because Des and I were like, we want to travel at some point. And I know you're like, honey, you're always traveling. But we're like, we've never been on. I've never been To Asia. So like two months ago, we're like, let's go to Thailand. Two weeks. Industry is dead in December. Let's fucking go.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
Long story short, we cancel. We're like, we're not. We're not going to Thailand.
Hannah
You cancel, but you book a different trip. You're like, it's too big of a trip to do right now.
Des
We can't do two weeks. It's too crazy. 24 hours of flying. We're tired. Let's do a simple trip. Yeah, let's, let's. We were like, let's go to Cartagena. Let's go to Colombia. Medellin. And oh yes, culture.
Hannah
Just a simple trip to Colombia. Nothing.
Des
Well, we were like, let's land this city, culture. And then we're like, no. So we can't. We don't cancel. We don't even book that. And then we go, let's just go to the Caribbean for four days. So we're so excited. We're like, we're gonna go to the Caribbean for four days. I get an email. Middle of the Caribbean trip, I get invited to do a gig that like, I personally didn't want to say no to.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
And Des was like, I get it. Like, we don't have to go on vacation. You do this.
Hannah
It's so important. It's so important.
Des
So you guys will see what this gig is. It's very fun. Soon. It comes out on the 27th.
Hannah
Hannah, I feel like that's like low key. A mental health moment too. I can't tell you how many boyfriends I've had in my life that like we've had something planned or like we're looking forward to something and like something work wise comes up and I'm like, I'm so sorry I have to do this. And like the words that are exchanged where like if the roles are, were reversed. And it was like some man and he was in finance and like some client called or something and he was like, I have to go to this. I feel like as a woman you're almost programmed to be like, oh my God. Yeah. Like you have like, you have to do this now. Obviously there's like workaholics, but. But it's like such a fine line. And it also does depend on your age. Like if you're in your early 30s, like, yeah, you gotta fuckin answer the phone and like go do your shit.
Des
And for people listening who are entrepreneurs, you kind of get that like there's no schedule. So it could be slow sometimes. But Then, like, on a Sunday, something crazy happens, and you need to do it to make money. But I've also been, like, on a ski trip with Des once, and I got an offer for something that was, like, exciting but not great. And we had, like, a long talk.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
To be like, where are priorities here? Like, you can do that, but, like, we gonna just try.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
I mean, I. Fudgeing hated skiing, so I was trying to get out of it.
Hannah
Kim Kardashian, like, did an interview. This is, like, months and months ago. Could literally have been a year ago. And I. And I have not ever forgotten it or stopped thinking about it. She was, like, talking about a boyfriend. I think it was Pete Davidson, but I don't know. And she was like. And he told me, like, I work too much. And she was like. And in my head, I was like, get out of my way. Like, get out. And I'm like, oh, my God. I so get, like, get out of my freaking way. Like, I'm.
Des
Well, also, you'll have so much animosity towards him.
Hannah
Wait, I have another, like, mental health moment.
Des
Okay, go off.
Hannah
So do you watched Girls, right?
Des
I think it's one of the greatest shows ever made.
Hannah
One of the greatest shows of our generation. If you haven't watched Girls, do yourself a fucking favor. I actually, like, restart it every couple of years because it's just so iconic. So the one actress in it, her real name is Jemima Kirk. She plays. She.
Des
She plays. She's actually my favorite character. I saw her in the airport once.
Hannah
Jessa.
Des
Jessa.
Hannah
She plays Jess. So cool. No, she's so good. She. I saw this on TikTok, but she was doing this on Instagram. She was doing just, like, a Q and A, and a girl wrote in and was like, what is your advice for unconfident young women? Did you see this?
Des
Yes.
Hannah
Okay. And her answer was, you think about yourself too much. And I literally felt like my mind was blown.
Des
I was so good.
Hannah
I was like, wait a minute. What a powerful, true statement. Like, literally, at the times that I'm, like, my most unconfident or my most nervous, it's because I'm literally so wrapped up in myself.
Des
You've literally thought yourself into some, like, insane spiral that's given you every reason to question or not believe in yourself. When it's like, this is, like, one of my favorite quotes is like, at the end of the day, the only thing that could really calm you down is that no one cares and you're going to die.
Hannah
I love it so much.
Des
No one cares when I've gotten really anxious places. And yeah, it's always because you're, like, overthinking everything. And the really only way to calm you down is that it does. Doesn't matter. And it's sad that, like, nothing matters at the end of the day, but if you can find solace in that, like, for example, Giggly Squad, sometimes I'll get nervous and I'll be like, I want this to be the best fucking episode ever. But if you force stuff and want it so bad because you care too much, like, you actually aren't yourself, okay.
Hannah
It's so crazy because even though I had, like, crazy panic attacks all while we did tour and I was, like, really working through something, I'm so happy that it happened during tour. And this sounds, like, so weird because truly Giggly Squad everywhere week is, like, the number one place where I feel my most self. And, like, yeah, like, just like, Hannah and I literally got on Zoom today because. No. And started laughing because we were like, we miss each other, but we can't call each other because then, like, we'll say all the good stuff that we have to save for the bond.
Des
And also, we're both, like, so respectful of each other. Like, you're like, I think I know you're, like, working. And I'll, like, come up with something. Like, you know, she needs a second. She's stressed. But, like, we become full codependent on each other, even though that's not. It's not our personal.
Hannah
And here's what I know when I'm, like, going to run an errand or I'm getting in an Uber or something, that's when I do my calls. So, like. But I'm always just, like, calling my mom. Really?
Des
Yes. Same.
Hannah
And for whatever reason, today I was, like, running errands, and I was like, should I call Hannah?
Des
And I wait, you can call me anytime.
Hannah
It's like, I was like, no, she's busy. She's doing things.
Des
I feel like me and you are actually two people who, like, we do have intimacy issues.
Hannah
Hunt, you think?
Des
Like, and people. And I hate when they make it. Like, girls are like, we're boy crazy and all this stuff. But, like, I'm gonna be honest. Me and you, like, we are so the men. Sometimes stereotypically. But yeah, I would go after guys who had intimacy issues because I didn't want to connect with a man. Like, I wanted to protect myself, you.
Hannah
Know, sometimes when it comes to dating. And I would literally, I've Never admitted this to anyone or publicly or to anyone in my. But I will say it on the pod.
Des
No one listen.
Hannah
Because no. In my head, no one listens. I'm like, no.
Des
In my head. For girls who know everything about us, listen.
Hannah
Well, here's the thing. I. When I say things on the podcast, it's for the gigglers that listen every week. Like, those are my friends. Like, those are my girls. For the people that, like, pop in to, like, write an article or, like, make a TikTok video. I'm not saying anything for you guys. Like, it's not like, whatever. So I feel like it's like, yeah.
Des
You just came into the middle of a conversation we've been having for five years. Obviously, you don't get it.
Hannah
Like, hello, is this the.
Des
Okay, we love the new Gigglers. We love the new Gigglers. You're all welcome. Anyway, what were you gonna say? That you said you never told anyone, and then you veered off.
Hannah
Is this the audition for Pippin? No. What I've never said to anyone. Hannah and I, before. Every. Before every Giggly Squad show, before we walk out on stage, we'll say to each other, is this the audition for Pippin? Okay. When it comes to dating, sometimes I will move in a manner, subconsciously or consciously. It depends where. Like, I'll stop and think and be like, that was such a move that I'm a guy would pull. Or, like, sometimes, like, I'll do things and I'll be like, I'm the guy. Like, that's so heinous. I can't believe I said that. Or, like, I did that. Or, like, I'm thinking that, like. Like, I'm the guy. And it's. It's kind of scary. Sometimes I have to, like, catch myself and be like, don't do that.
Des
No. But the concept of, like, that's what guys would do is, like, socially constructed. Like, that's just what we've been, like, raised to think, where we just are trying to, like, have some power.
Hannah
Well, then I think, like, if certain guys don't like me, I'm like, oh, you don't like that I move the way men move.
Des
It scares them.
Hannah
It scares you that I can also, like, switch into this mode of, like, I don't give a. I always love.
Des
Like, I don't talk too much about, like, DEZ and I, but I do love the moment our relationship where, like, I was pretending I was, like, cool and didn't care. And I think I might have posted something that was, like, a little Bit like, could potentially make him jealous or something. Like, very early on.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
And that was when he literally. I remember he called me and he was like. Like, hey, if you're not. Like, if you're gonna do this kind of stuff, like, I'm actually like, I'm not attracted to that stuff. And, like, I don't want to play games.
Hannah
You, like, test the waters.
Des
Yeah. And he was like. And I'm. I. I like you. I feel like I made that clear. So, like, if you're gonna be, like, weird like this, I'm good. I literally put my tail between my legs and was like. That was the first. I was like, oh, my God. Like. And it was so mature of him and hot. But anyway, no. Well, I'll. I'd do something that a guy would try to, like, up me and make me feel worse, and then I would. And next thing you know, it's just two egos battling each other and it's like a competitive, fucking stupid situation. But I do have to say, rounding to what you were saying at the beginning, your 30s, it stops being about, like, being the most successful or finding the best guy. It's about finding, like, your authenticity, which is full of. Yeah, you question yourself. Yeah, whatever. But at least you're being you. And I. I'd rather, like, be sad authentically being me than, like, pretending to be something else.
Hannah
No, I love being me. I think I'm the greatest. Speaking of me, back to me for a second.
Des
Back to me. Enough. Enough about you. What do you think about me? I didn't tell you about what happened in. Thanks. During Thanksgiving. I talked about it on burner phone. Shout out, burner phone. You guys should listen. Thanksgiving morning, we're finally having all these people at our house. And I'm, of course, asleep. It's like 7:30. And you know how all the adults are awake.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
Like, they're all, like, chatting loud, laughing, and I kind of hear it, and it's beautiful.
Hannah
They're like four cups of coffee deep.
Des
Yes. They're fucking. They're talking about, like, recent events in.
Hannah
The news and stuff.
Des
It's not my scene.
Hannah
It's not my scene.
Des
It's literally, don't save me a table.
Hannah
Not my scene. I don't want to see.
Des
Yeah.
Hannah
I don't want to seat at that table.
Des
It doesn't come across my desk. So I'm chilling because I could sleep through anything. But I hear the good vibes. I'm so happy. Everyone's talking. And then I hear, like, a weird murmur and Everything goes silent. And, like, you know when you just have, like, that spidey sense where you're like, something bad happened. So it's, like, silent for, like, 30 minutes. And I check my phone. No one texted me. And then I, like, hear someone say something, and I'm like, did someone die? Like, did someone have a heart attack? Like, I start freaking out, but then, like, no one's telling me anything, so I'm just like, I'm just gonna stay here. You know when you're like, I don't want to ruin my day. I'm gonna stay here until. Yeah, you're like, if.
Hannah
I don't know nothing happened yet.
Des
Yeah.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
I'm just staying in bed. Finally, someone opens the door, and they're like. And it was Des, and he's like, hey, just let you know. The water tank burst, and it's been flooding downstairs, and we've all been wiping, like, putting towels down, just letting, you know. Walks out. I go, no one thought to wake me up. No one was like, you know, would make the situation better if Hannah was awake. No one even told me because what.
Hannah
Were you offering to that.
Des
No, literally, they thought about it, and they were like, it would be better if we kept her out of this hand.
Hannah
I didn't know.
Des
I start googling, like, water tank burst. I'm like, this is really bad. And my mom's like, we're handling it. Everything's being handled. Does it on the phone with the plumber, and I. I never felt more insignificant, but understood Hannah.
Hannah
It's so funny you say that, because there are certain.
Des
It's.
Hannah
It's interesting to think that, like, your other family, like, you obviously, like, you call a family member to talk about another family. Family member. But you don't think that, like, other family members are calling to talk about you? Like, it's. You're almost, like, shocked.
Des
I do feel like there's a lot of roasting, though, in my family. And, like, I'm known as kind of the one. Oh, Hannah. She's, you know, type B. She forgot her wallet again. She spilled everything.
Hannah
Like, that's Hannah. Yeah.
Des
But also, I have, like, crazy productive people in my family. Like, my mom could run the country if she, like, put her mind to it. So it's kind of like, let's cut our losses.
Hannah
My brother the other day said something to me, and I was like, I forget what it even was. And I was like, you didn't tell me that. Like, why didn't anyone tell me that? Like, when did this happen?
Paige
And he was like.
Hannah
Like, oh, well, we're not allowed to tell you certain things when you're really stressed out. And I was like, what the does that mean? And he was like, mom tells everyone not to, like, annoy you with anything because, like, you're fragile. And like, during your tour, you were really fr. And he kept saying the word fragile. And I was like, I'm not fragile.
Des
It is funny to think about. Yeah. Like, every now and then I'll hear people who, like, work with Giggly Squad be like, oh, before we tell Hannah and Paige, let's make sure we tell them this way. And I'm like, we're dumb. Like, what? There's no. We're not Matilda jerk. Just tell us what's going on. We're not going to kick you. Like, no, I'm literally.
Hannah
I'm not. Here's the crazy thing. I'm not going to do anything. Whether you need me to do something or not, I'm not doing anything. So, like, I don't care.
Des
People call us and we're like, please text or send a voice note. Like, I'm not trying to get into it with anyone at any time.
Hannah
No. People need to realize, truly, at the end of the day, Giggly Squad is built on not giving a shit.
Des
Yeah, I do think we should start giving a shit about the drones. They're filming a new season of New Jersey Housewives. That's what the drones are. It's just Andy Cohen being like, we need to step up production.
Hannah
This is why TikTok can't get banned. Everyone on TikTok just being like, are we the most unserious country in the fucking world? Like, we're just like, yeah, there's like something happening literally 10ft away from me. And we're like, we don't know. Well, like, we have things to do though.
Des
Someone was like, I love how after Luigi Mangione, they're like, we're gonna need drones in New Jersey. All the Italians are up to no good.
Hannah
No. It has not been a good week for Italy.
Paige

Des
Wait, can you please write. You wrote the single handedly funniest note in our notes.
Hannah
What? I look like the shooter?
Des
Yeah.
Hannah
I kept getting up here. First of all, let me just like, let's just talk about this, like, info.
Des
Yeah.
Hannah
The day that, like, they came out that like, what his name was, I feel like every Italian collectively was like, like, like it's not great for us. Like, it's not great for our brand. We're not, like, we didn't. We don't need this right now. People are like, immediately being like, it's the Mafia. We're like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Des
Well, look, Italians are good at two things. They're good at food and murder people in public spaces.
Hannah
We're like, this was just a disgruntled guy. Like, we're not, like, let's calm down for a second. Here's the other thing. I saw a comedian say this. I think it was Shane Gillis actually who said it, like years ago that, like, Italians are like, really the only minority that, like, you can make fun of still. And like, it kind of is so true. Like, the next day it was like every meme was just like, about Italians. But I kind of love that. We're just like, yeah, we don't give a fuck. Like, I don't. You could say whatever you fucking wanted to me. I don't care. Like, it doesn't matter. I was getting tagged. They did Luigi with like, long brown hair. And I was getting tagged in it so much, being like, why is this Paige to Sorbo? And I was like, I love it. I think it's amazing. I love it so much. But, like, it was just. It's a crazy day. It's a crazy week for Italians in Jersey.
Des
It is crazy that people are the government. I mean, everyone is so pro Luigi because he has a six pack. Like, if he was ugly, people would be like, hang on, people. Like, he's. He's Peter Pan. But I do have to say the United Healthcare guy, he is a drug dealer. Well, that's. That's what happened. That could happen in the fight when you're making millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars from giving people health or not.
Hannah
Yeah, obviously, like, this guy was like a husband and a father. And like, you don't want anyone to be like, Murdered.
Des
Yes.
Hannah
But also, like, think about how much insurance companies just. Just people over and, like, they're in, like, the biggest time of need. It's just.
Des
But I do have to say, ism is not the answer. Let's not just start shooting people. But I do feel like the girls love that Luigi took the time to engrave the bullets.
Hannah
It's aesthetics.
Des
I feel like it also makes you look at your boyfriend being like, what have you done for me now? What have you done for me lately? You can't even write a card. And he literally engraved every single bullet he shot into that guy's back.
Hannah
It's like, write me one note. Write me, like, a thoughtful text message.
Des
Write me one post. Leave one. Post it before you leave for work.
Hannah
No, it's crazy.
Des
But, yeah, the Luigi stuff, as an Italian is very funny. But, yeah, I think the guy had a. He had a mental break. I don't think it was like, a sane. I mean, the guy was, like, super smart.
Hannah
I also loved all the memes. Just being like, his mom didn't know where he was for a month. Yeah. Okay. There's no fucking way.
Des
And there's no fucking way mom didn't know where he was.
Hannah
You fucking kidding me?
Des
That's because Chapel Rowan was, like, his number one search or, like, his favorite artist.
Hannah
I love it. Wait, okay, I have. I have another topic to bring up that I was talking about with one of my girlfriends, and we were talking about how men. How, like, so many men get, like, the hair transplant and, like, the hair, like, plugs or, like, flying a turkey. They're, like, doing whatever.
Des
Yeah.
Hannah
And she was saying. She was like, I believe. She was like, I believe that if you are in a certain tax bracket and you make a certain amount of money a year, you should not be allowed to be bald. And I was like, elaborate. And she was like, as women, we're on TikTok all day being like, I got my lips done, I got my eyes done. Like, I did. This is what I did, step by step, because we have to. Because if we don't continue to look good, like, we get disregarded in society. And she was like, if you are a man and you make a certain amount of money, like, you should have to get a hair transplant and not be bald.
Des
Funny, some girls love a bald man, but do they?
Hannah
Or are we programmed? Is it the same thing as, like, dad bod? Is it just the same thing? Because I know that if I walked out being bald, like, I would have a very different climate.
Des
Yes, yes.
Hannah
And Also normalize them, giving us updates. Day 27. Like, give me a 50 part series of your hair transplant. We can watch them for bbs.
Des
You know who actually does that? Benedict Polizzi, who I love. He's a comedian from Indiana.
Hannah
He got a hair transplant.
Des
He got a hair transplant and he like takes photos of it and he just makes fun of it.
Hannah
I love it. A man of the people.
Des
And you know what? Italian. So maybe we're look, we love it.
Hannah
They just get it. They just freaking get it.
Des
What if Luigi posted in his manifesto, nobody left me a lasagna.
Hannah
I'd be nervous because people would think that we were connected. Like, we'd be like, of course. And he's a giggler.
Des
Like, also, like, did they AI an Italian last name? Like, that's insane. That's the most Italian name I ever heard.
Hannah
It's just like, not a good week for our people.
Des
If he was like, really, really Italian, though, he would not go to McDonald's.
Hannah
No, that's what I'm saying. If he was like, really, really Italian, his mom wouldn't have reported him, like, missing. She would have found him. Like, there's just no way. You're not going missing. There's literally never been a missing child.
Des
Also, if you were working at that McDonald's and saw him, would you report it?
Hannah
I don't think. Here's the thing. When people, when like, something happens and there's like a manhunt and it's like pictures of him posted everywhere in the street, in the city, I'm again thinking about myself. There's no way I'm walking into like a Starbucks and being like, that's a guy. That's a guy. I'm not even looking.
Des
I'm gonna say something up. No one's ever gotten an Amber alert and been like, oh, good, let me help this out. You're like, I'm in the middle of a text and you just interrupted my text.
Hannah
Everyone has the same reaction. Did you see the Amber Alert? That's crazy. Like, yeah, that's like.
Des
Also, no one's ever gotten an Amber alert and, like, ran outside to find the missing child. Also, has anyone ever found the missing child? They never give you the update. They just.
Hannah
They never give you that.
Des
They're gone and then nothing else.
Hannah
They never give you the update. And usually it's the dad, and most of the time it's the freaking dad.
Des
And actually, period, it's always, everything goes back to your dad.
Hannah
Here's the thing. Wait, let me just say one Thing.
Des
Yes, yes, yes.
Hannah
For how much we, like, despise men, like, majority of the time and like their actions and just like, overall characteristics. We do have to say that, like, we grew up with the best dads ever. So, like, I want to love men. I actually was born and programmed to love men. I do like them, but like, they're just so stupid most of the time.
Des
Yeah. I like a self aware man. Like, I like the men that, like, are calling out their friends but also leaning in.
Hannah
I like quiet ones. I like them quiet. I like them.
Des
I feel like when they're quiet, they know things like, because they're listening. Like, what is that like, to listen? I'd be so smart if I didn't talk so much, if I retained any information from other people. And so I'm just walking around like.
Hannah
No, that. Literally you walk around like that.
Des
So, you know, I was talking to these other male comics and they were talking about, like, they're making jokes about, like, how women talk a lot, which is so funny. We don't know what, like, the male comics are joking about. Yeah, but they're like girl jokes. I'm like, girls talk a lot. Joe Rogan has a four hour podcast every day. Girls talk a lot. We need to take a nap after 45 minutes. Like, we're about to take a three hour nap from Yak Lee. Truly, truly, truly true.
Hannah
Joe is literally over there five hours a day.
Des
Can I say something I'm mad at with fashion?
Hannah
Oh, yeah.
Des
Sling back heels.
Hannah
Why?
Des
They don't fit my foot.
Hannah
They don't stay on. They don't stay.
Des
They don't stay on. Like, if. What is the thing in the back for? Because the sling back just goes falls off. And then I'm like, it has to.
Hannah
Be a good shoe. It has to be an expensive shoe.
Des
I'll buy like a $200 sling back. And it's not slinging really.
Hannah
It's laying in.
Des
I think it needs stretch. It needs to have like, stretch. It can't.
Hannah
I don't think you're putting it high enough up on your ankle. Are you putting it high enough up?
Des
I went to college. I don't think it should be that difficult for me to figure out how to wear a shoe. Like, if I have to maneuver much.
Hannah
Feet a little sweaty. It could just, just be.
Des
Yes, they're always sweaty. I do think also maybe there's not enough curvature in like the back of my foot that it doesn't like, stay.
Hannah
I fear you've been ill advised on slingbacks and You.
Des
Wait, so you're standing with slingbacks right now?
Hannah
I stand with sling backs. I do stand with them. I think that, like, I like them for a certain outfit, but I understand the frustration when they don't stay up, up.
Des
I think they look good, but, like you, I can't even walk on stage with them.
Hannah
I don't think it's something that, like, we're gonna solve. I think that you just stay away from them.
Des
I feel like you don't care about me right now.
Hannah
I do care about you, but, like, it's just, like, I feel I'm struggling.
Des
With certain things and you're, like, not. You're not clearly struggling. No, you're taking the side of my op.
Hannah
Here's what I'm gonna say.
Des
You're taking the sides of my enemies.
Hannah
There are certain things that I feel like, as a female, like. Like, you just do kind of live with because it's like, oh, it's just like, a girl thing that we have to deal with. I'm more like, I just deal with it. Yeah, you're more like, I'll fight every man who invented this.
Des
Yeah.
Hannah
Like, yeah. So, like, we're just different in that sense.
Des
Wait, I feel so bad because I forget who said it, but there's a girl on TikTok. You guys should search it, who was like, wait, so we have wireless drones, but we don't have a wireless hair dryer? She was like, we don't have wireless Dysons, even though we have wireless Dyson vacuums.
Hannah
Yep.
Des
What the. Either they don't care about they don't care, or they want us to strangle ourselves with a cord.
Paige
Sorry.
Hannah
There's so many sirens.
Des
That was the police telling us we need to stop calling people out on the pod. It's just the patriarchy and Matilda Jerf's people. Sweden's arrived. You'd be surprised how many things, like, bosses will make their, like, office manager or their assistant do no. And also, but this is the thing. Bosses will, I think, get away with it a lot because the person says yes, so they think the person's cool with it. But, like, you're not gonna say no to your boss. Like, I've done weird shit for bosses.
Hannah
Unless it's in my contract. Get the fuck out of my face. Like, what do you have, like, an example of something that you're like, that, like, after where you're like, that was weird.
Des
I've def. I've definitely saw, like, this one boss made this girl walk her dog every day and Then also made her make her breakfast every day, like avocado toast and stuff. It just seemed like unnecessary, you know?
Hannah
It's so crazy at me as a boss because I think I'm a people pleaser. Like I feel like I work for them. Like I am constantly apologizing to Josephine and Grace and being like, like, I'm so sorry that I can't get my shit together to give you what you need so that you can send it off to whoever you need to work with.
Des
Like, I text Grace, I always go, I'm so sorry for bothering you. But same.
Hannah
And then I'll be like, wait, I'm like a 32 year old woman and like I pay them and I am like scared of them. But I kind of love it too because like if she comes over to my apartment or something and I'm ordering Starbucks, like, like, yeah, hello. Like it's just normal like human decency.
Des
It's also like low key fun to be a boss because you're like, we could do whatever we want today. No.
Hannah
There are so many times where I'm like, should we just do like couch and like, and blankets? Like go get your blanket.
Des
Sometimes I feel like I pressure her. Like I'm like, we're getting bagels. And she's like, I'm okay. And I'm like, you don't want everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and all this stuff. And she's like, I'm fine. I'm like, let's fucking party with bagels right now.
Hannah
The other day I said to Joseph, Josephine, I said, would it be crazy if I got us a personal trainer and we worked out three times a week together because like, I won't do it if someone else doesn't do it with me.
Des
That's where HR gets.
Hannah
And she was like, yeah, I mean like, I'll do it with you.
Des
But like I made Grace do hip hop yoga and like she liked it. But I also, I like was afraid to text her again to feel like she was like being forced to sweat and possibly faint in a hot hip hop yoga, whatever.
Hannah
We're fun bosses.
Des
We're fine. We're the cool. We're cool moms.
Hannah
We're cool. We're like, do whatever you freaking want want.
Des
I know. We're like, if you want to smoke a little weed, just don't.
Hannah
I'm truly like that. I'm like, let's get high and figure this out.
Des
Speaking of bread one more time. I ordered room service. I'm in la.
Hannah
Yeah.
Des
And I was like, I clicked like break continental breakfast or whatever. And it didn't say anything about bread. So I wrote in the notes, can I please have sourdough bread? Then they start calling me cuz I like did it online. They start, this is so unnecessary. And they're like, hi, it's extra for sourdough bread. I'm like, yes, just send me. Why is the. When is the bread not included with an egg breakfast? So then I'm fucking pissed. The bread comes. It's the smallest bread I've ever seen. Like is bread. Are they having a bread shortage? And like what? It's sourdough, it's healthy.
Hannah
There's something with hotels like adding like things that are like add ons that it's like, okay, well that goes with it. And also if you're a five star hotel and you're not doing room service and you're still going through like Covid rules or something or like if you don't have room service as a hotel, what are you? You're an office space. Okay, we work.
Des
You're a little. We work close.
Hannah
Get your shit together. Bring back room service with silverware. If you are at my door and you're handing it to me in a brown paper bag, I'm thinking the worst things in my head.
Des
Don't get me started about forks.
Hannah
Anyway, we won't.
Des
And we won't and.
Hannah
We absolutely will not. That's all the time we have for today.
Des
Stay, stay positive for next week for.
Hannah
My, my fourth speech for discussion continued on npr.
Des
I do have to say I have a couple stand up dates I'd love you guys to come to. I'm going, going to Timonia, Maryland. I've never heard that place, but I think it'll be fun. Actually, I think I've been there.
Hannah
Sounds like a boss.
Des
Yeah, I'm going to sounds like a health care company. Irvine, Alabama. New Haven, Connecticut. Providence, Rhode Island. Brooks, California. Highlander, California. See you there. Paige, what's going on with you?
Hannah
Nothing. I'm going to this, I'm going to sleep till January. Like 8th.
Des
Yes. Amazing.
Hannah
Oh, actually I'm going to be on the Today show on Wednesday morning. We're doing winter accessories. We're very excited.
Des
I love that I was uninvited.
Hannah
They're like, hey, we got a call actually just for Paige to come on with Hoda and Jenna. They said leave the redhead at home.
Des
They go. Leave the girl who came in with fake glasses and laughed too loud. No, you're doing your fashion segment which.
Hannah
I'm doing really, really fun.
Des
And you do a lot of research for it, and you put a lot of work into it, so everyone.
Hannah
I actually do do a lot of research for it.
Des
You do? Everyone, go get your mom's cable password and watch Paige on the Today show. We love you guys so much. Thank you for giggling with us. I hope you're all slowing down for the holidays.
