[Hannah]

For all the gigglers using dating apps, I have some exciting news. Bumble has created a Discover feature to improve the dating experience and it's free. We're all busy and we don't want to waste time matching with people who aren't even compatible with us. So Bumble is using Discover to curate your most compatible matches daily. They do this by showing you other people who share your dating intentions, interest and communities to find the best matches for you. Bumble is doing the admin so we don't have to. It will help you find people who share your values and want to spend their time time the same way you do. So see who's waiting for you and you can thank me later. See people who match your vibe and check out Discover on Bumble today. Everyone always has different hair goals. Like I'm always trying to have the shiniest, healthiest hair. Hannah's always looking for stronger, fuller hair. But whatever your hair goal is, you need Ouai. Ouai products can not only detox your hair, but they can also moisturize your hair with an amazing moisture mask. I love using mine when I do a slick back bun and it's perfect after I use the detox shampoo because whenever I have like a bunch of product in my hair I always use a lot of gel. I'm always slicking my hair back. I need something to detox it and it really does make it so shiny cuz it really just does help cleanse your scalp of all the product buildup, hard water deposits, dirt, oil, you name it. But Ouai has so many products no matter what your hair goals are. So the way to a healthy scalp starts here. Go to T-H-E-O-U-A-I.com and use code giggly for 15 off any product that's T-H-E-O dash U-A-I.com with code giggly. Sup Gigglers?

Which used to be the greatest mall ever, honestly. Like, and now it's small.

Such a sad mall that you like. Was that like where you first got fingered? In a mall?

[Ali]

Is that the first place I got fingered? No. No, it wasn't. It wasn't.

[Paige]

You're just like, that's the second place I got fingered.

[Ali]

I have been fingered in that movie theater for sure. Are you kidding?

[Paige]

Wait, how were guys even supposed to finger you in those theaters? Like, that's insane. I feel like I had the worst experiences with guys in theaters, in theaters.

[Ali]

Unzip my jeans like a freak.

[Paige]

I think, like, we thought they were fingering us, but they weren't. But we were like, I just got fingered.

[Ali]

I remember the first time I got fingered. It was in a. I was in a basement.

[Paige]

Yeah. I was on a couch.

[Ali]

And can I tell you something? I like, didn't know to shave until like three days later when one of my girlfriends was like, well, you have to shave. And I was like, wait, what? And imagine. And I think about it actually an odd amount of times.

[Paige]

Sorry.

[Ali]

Throughout my adult life where I'm like, what if I never shave?

[Paige]

You're just representing the 80s. Like, that shit was cool. Yeah. Do you know, like, men who grew up in the 80s? A lot of them like bushes, because that's the porn they saw, right? And they Think it's weird when girls do?

[Ali]

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

His name was Gary. I know.

[Paige]

If you guys don't know, every man's name is Gary. And my brother's name is Gary. Wait, you know, I didn't realize both our brother and dad have the same name. Yeah, but mine is Dan and Daniel.

[Ali]

We have so much material for this week.

[Paige]

You guys, I just dropped a bomb on the giggly squad pod. I know you're gonna look at us differently now. Wait, but I love how your parents call him. They call him Big Gare or Little.

[Ali]

Big Gare and Little Gare.

[Paige]

That's cute.

[Ali]

That's cute. Yeah. Cause Gary's. My brother's not an actual, like, junior. Like, they don't have the same middle name.

[Paige]

I love how your dad was like, he doesn't get the full name. He doesn't get a numerical thing next to his name.

[Ali]

But my parents came to Hannah's.

[Paige]

Oh, yeah. You just. You don't communicate.

[Ali]

No, I don't.

[Paige]

You're a literal man. You text me, I'll see you at the show tonight. I have no idea how you're getting there. I'm like, you're in New York City. What are you talking about? I show up at the mall. She's standing right outside in the mall.

[Ali]

Hello.

[Paige]

With her full family. Like, 100 Italians.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And we're here. She doesn't realize that stand up comedy in the clubs. So not as glamorous as theater life. And that's all Paige knows.

[Ali]

All I know is theater life.

[Paige]

All she knows is sold out theaters. So I get her to the back, and it's literally a. The tiniest green room with one frat leather couch.

[Ali]

Yeah. Where a casting couch.

[Paige]

A c. A true casting couch. And Kim, like, sits down and kind of like. Okay. And she brought us food.

[Ali]

She did. She brought. Okay. Hannah was with Ali, Colbert, and my.

[Paige]

Mom, who's not Italian, so this was hilarious.

[Ali]

No, but I feel like she has the.

[Paige]

Like, she's a New Yorker.

[Ali]

Yeah. My mom made Fritzels, which are like these hard, like, roll. They almost look like bagels, but they're not bagels.

[Paige]

Yeah, they're like massive bagels with every Italian thing you could put on it. You have olives, you have pepperoni. You have all kinds of pepperoni. You have the meats, you have the banana peppers. I don't know. It turns out all this stuff, it's basically like A.

[Ali]

It's basically a sandwich on a.

[Paige]

It's a Subway sandwich for the mafia. That's what it is.

[Ali]

That's what it is.

[Paige]

And so she's got the food. Your dad is pushing the food on.

[Ali]

Us, pushing it hard.

[Paige]

He's like, ali, you're not going to have a salami.

[Ali]

He thinks everyone's hungry. Like, imagine stuffing your face before you go out on stage. It's the craziest concept.

[Paige]

If I deep throated a salami before getting on stage, like, it would be. I'd be on TMZ for just, like, imploding.

[Ali]

One time I was at a cheerleading competition and I got in trouble because my mom gave me nachos before I was about to compete.

[Paige]

And she's probably going to be like, she's hungry. She's hungry.

[Ali]

They're like, she's going to throw up on the mat.

[Paige]

All she had today was breakfast and lunch and a snack. She's starving. That's what I do.

[Ali]

No, but okay. The funniest part about it was like, ali, if you don't know Ali, you have to go follow her on Instagram, like, watch her videos. She's very straightforward. Says whatever she's, like, thinking, but she's hilarious. And she was saying the most crude, crazy things to my parents.

[Paige]

Which, by the way, I feel like when I'm in front of your parents, I try to behave a little. I try to drop less. I don't want them going home and being like, that hand is not good for our daughter. Like, I want to. I want to be represent.

[Ali]

Allie's saying, whatever.

[Paige]

She. People are catching strays. She's being hilarious. Like, doing full stand up.

[Ali]

She leaves the room For a minute, 30 seconds, my dad turns and goes, she's cute as a button.

[Paige]

She's adorable. And I looked. I actually got jealous. I was like, I could have been doing my best bits, too, but I thought we were being appropriate in front of the family. And she goes rogue. And he's like, she's cute as a button. I'm like, gary.

[Ali]

Then she does, like, a lesbian joke on stage and shouts out my dad.

[Paige]

So then I was like, what is going on? Like, like, he's. They're like, best friends now. Buddies.

[Ali]

Yeah, they're.

[Paige]

So anyway, I. I was a little jealous, right? But I was like, it's okay. Like, it's fine.

[Ali]

That's how I'd feel if your dad, like, laughed at someone else's joke.

[Paige]

Yeah. Like, imagine I bring a new friend and my dad's obsessed with her. And you're sitting there and you were like, I thought I was blood related to you.

[Ali]

No.

[Paige]

So. And also I was like, you wouldn't even met her if it wasn't for me. I brought her here. She's my friend. Gary. Gary and Kim, innocent throughout the whole thing. Kim's just enjoying life, making sure I'm okay. You guys. Shout out. Albany sold out five shows. Let's go.

[Ali]

No, Albany was a crowd.

[Paige]

You guys couldn't sit, so you guys stood in the back and watched my whole show. And it was really cute.

[Ali]

And I laughed so hard.

[Paige]

And I called you up at the end and that was really fun.

[Ali]

That was really fun.

[Paige]

Speaking of not fun, the next day, Paige is like, I'm gonna pick you up and I'm gonna take you to my. My parents house. Which actually felt so high school.

[Ali]

It felt so high school. Like, my mom said, you can come over if you want to come over.

[Paige]

And I was like, oh, my God, perf.

[Ali]

We get there, it felt like you came home off the bus, you know, like my mom said, you can come home off the bus.

[Paige]

I kind of felt like you made friends with public school kids. And you were like, can I show you what it's like? Like, we got out of the car and you were like, take your shoes off. Just take your shoes off.

[Ali]

Like some cloth napkins.

[Hannah]

Have you ever.

[Ali]

Have you guys ever seen them before?

[Paige]

So we walk in and Kim just spoils us.

[Ali]

Made a full chicken parm lunch.

[Paige]

I mean, there were six courses.

[Ali]

Six. And it was just.

[Paige]

And it was laid out.

[Ali]

This is just a lunch.

[Paige]

And Ali is just flabbergasted. She's never had this kind of treatment. So we were gossiping, we're eating all the food. And then I was like, can we see Lord, Daphne.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And you were like, yes, she's upstairs. Let's see what she's doing. And I'm like, Allie's like, I'm not really a cat person. I'm like, ally, you're going to fucking love this.

[Ali]

Cat's not really a cat person.

[Paige]

I was like, I love this cat. Also. I'm going to convert you to cat person. Like, you're going to love this cat. Daphne, similar to Gary, obsessed with Ally.

[Ali]

Obsessed. Like walking her back against Ali's back. Like, just like looking at. Wanted little to nothing to do with you.

[Paige]

I would say she actually disliked me. And I was like, daphne wouldn't fucking be here for it was. But then, like, part of me loved it. I was like, I love that she doesn't like me, because then I, like, want to earn her affection.

[Ali]

Well, Daphne is extremely vain. And she didn't like my official.

[Paige]

She didn't like my own.

[Ali]

You know, so she was like, that's how you come to my home.

[Paige]

Yeah. Cause normally I would say I give good energy, but I now realize I think she was disgusted by my jeans that I haven't washed for two weeks. And she could smell it. See, Dogs love it. Dogs. They're up my canal. They go, this girl's peanut butter buzzing and goes, ew, have you showered?

[Ali]

She's like, I shit in a box, and I'm cleaner. So anyway, she's like, mommy, brush me. She's like, do you want my mommy to brush your hair?

[Paige]

It was. It's just so funny when pets, like, clearly prefer someone. And so that was insulting. And again, I was like, ally, like, you're not even. You shouldn't even be here. Like, I invited you.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And you're taking all the attention and gravitas.

[Ali]

You just wanted to use the word gravitas.

[Paige]

As I was saying it, I was like, I don't know if this is gonna work, but. No, we love Ali so much. And I'm. I'm also one of those people not to brag. I want other people to have fun. Yeah, I'll take the hit. I'll take the hit. I want.

[Ali]

You do.

[Paige]

I actually do get obsessed with. To the point that it gives me social anxiety. Like, I can't enjoy myself if I think someone is not having fun.

[Ali]

Really?

[Paige]

Yeah. Like, if I.

[Ali]

Like, if I told her.

[Paige]

If I told her, hey, we're going to lunch, and then I'm noticing her not having a good time. Like, I'm. I'm stressed.

[Ali]

Okay. I thought you meant just, like, random people. I'm like, how do you get anything done during the day? Like, you're just worrying about if everyone's having a good time.

[Paige]

If I throw a party, the whole time, I'm stressed. That's, like, why weddings are stressful, because it's like, everyone, like, canceled their plans to come to your wedding. It better be.

[Ali]

When's the last time you threw a party?

[Paige]

My Netflix party.

[Ali]

Which, honestly, lit.

[Paige]

Lit because I put my heart and soul into that chicken fingers.

[Ali]

I still think about that picture of me where I'm like, well, you didn't like your choice. Got to get out.

[Paige]

You don't like your shorts.

[Ali]

Yeah, I didn't like my outfit.

[Paige]

And you couldn't handle.

[Ali]

I couldn't take.

[Paige]

You were just hiding behind my Nana for like, 30 minutes.

[Ali]

No, I held Nana's, and my Nana.

[Paige]

Was like, you're so pretty, just like me. I love that she's friends with you.

[Ali]

No, Nana is my Nana.

[Paige]

Like, I feel like you guys almost are too alike, where you're like, this is weird. It's too powerful. It's giving, like, Freaky Friday. Like, you're like, did I sneeze?

[Ali]

And am I Nana?

[Paige]

Do you think I'm little Gary?

[Ali]

Kind of. You kind of are like my older brother.

[Paige]

Yeah. I was trying to explain to Allie, who's a lesbian, our relationship, and she was. We left the house, and she's like, she's your partner. Yeah.

[Ali]

No more partner. Because she was like, no, we're more than friends. Like, like, okay. Like, if we were to be with another friend duo, I'd be like, cute. That's adorable.

[Paige]

We would leave and be like, they think they're fun.

[Ali]

Yeah. Like, that's so sweet of you guys to, like, be friends. But, like, we're, like, partners.

[Paige]

Ali was like, I loved hanging out with you guys because I love being, like, a third wheel. And I'm like, what do you mean? She's like, I love hanging out with couples. And I'm like, what do you mean? And she's like, you guys will talk with your eyes all the time, like.

[Ali]

You'Re an extension of me.

[Paige]

And then Ali kept telling me, like, really good gossip.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And at one point, she stops, and she's like, are you gonna tell Paige all of this? And I was like, yeah. And she paused for a second, and I was like, first of all, Paige doesn't know all these niche people we're talking about. Second of all, Paige doesn't remember anything.

[Ali]

Anything.

[Paige]

Third of all, Paige has her own.

[Ali]

Doesn't care shit going on. I got my own problem.

[Paige]

She's fine. But, yes, I will tell her.

[Ali]

No. That's why it's like, gossiping. If you're gonna gossip with one of us, you're gossiping with both of us. But it's a safe space.

[Paige]

Yes.

[Ali]

Like, we share the same ideas, so it's not. It's not like, oh, my God, don't tell anyone. Oh, she told one friend. It was Paige. It's like, no, you were telling me when you told Hannah 100% and you didn't realize that.

[Paige]

Yeah. So she was like, you have a full partner. And I was like, I know. And I was like, I am the man one. And she was like, that typically happens in a lesbian relationship. Sometimes one of them wears the pants more and so, yeah. And okay, this is the funniest part is Allie in front of Paige's parents, who she just met.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Jokingly turns to the parents and goes, paige and I have to tell you something about our relationship.

[Ali]

Imagine I just come home and I'm like, guys, I'm a lesbian, and this is my girlfriend. I don't even drop the lesbian part first. I'm just like. And this is my girlfriend.

[Paige]

This. Ally's so, so cute too. But honestly, I feel like you'd be with a blonde. That's what I see for you or for us in our throuple.

[Ali]

Yeah. I was just gonna say, I feel.

[Paige]

Like you wouldn't want a girl who's, like, looks similar to you at all.

[Ali]

I would either want a girl who is, like, really feminine and, like, that I could share stuff with, but I'm like, that's a friend.

[Paige]

Yeah. Or you just want a girl. Kim, stop listening. You just want a girl with huge boobs. So you could see what it's like and then decide if you want to boob job or not.

[Ali]

Like, I'm like, you put my top on and see, like, if it looks good.

[Paige]

You does this. I don't know if I like it. Can you turn around?

[Ali]

Change?

[Paige]

Can you turn around? Can you. Can you move your arms in it? I don't know.

[Ali]

Hug yourself. Is it fit? If you hug yourself, does it still feel good? When I was little, that was all my mom would say when I would. We would, like, be in the mall trying clothes on. Hug yourself.

[Paige]

That means it's comfortable. I've never heard that before. I've never heard that before.

[Ali]

Yeah. Oh, my God. So you're just, like, in the dressing room? I'm just like. I'm like, yeah, I saw a broom.

[Paige]

Wait. The dressing room is so traumatizing, especially at Aritzia where there's no mirrors.

[Ali]

Actually, I couldn't tell you the last time I went into a dressing room and I tried something on. And the Aritzia one I've been to one time, and I never went back because I was like, that's crazy. I'm not walking out. It seemed like a People's boyfriends are there.

[Paige]

No, it was like a harassment ritual.

[Ali]

Wait, what is. What's the word?

[Paige]

It was a embarrassment ritual. Yeah, it was a humiliation ritual. No, it is. It literally is like, you walk out and everyone goes, don't worry. Don't buy that.

[Ali]

I just would never. I would never.

[Paige]

Oh, that's interesting. Oh, no, turn.

[Ali]

Ah.

[Paige]

Like, that's what I'M getting from everyone.

[Ali]

It's like, this is, I'm not trying on my wedding dress. Also, like, I don't need to stand on a pedestal in front of, like, in a circle.

[Paige]

This isn't a town hall meeting.

[Ali]

No.

[Paige]

When I try something on, I don't need a group, like, forum.

[Ali]

Like, there was definitely a boardroom meeting specifically about the dressing rooms of Aritzia. And what man was like, let's put it in the middle.

[Paige]

So what they say is that it helps sell stuff because you have to walk out, and then a salesperson has to say, I like it on you.

[Ali]

I, I, I'd like to see the numbers on it. Because I wouldn't walk out.

[Paige]

No, that's what I did. I, I thought that there was something defunct in my room, and I was like, oh, I, I got a room.

[Ali]

That had no mirror.

[Paige]

The mirror fell off or something. And then I, like, walk outside and.

[Ali]

No, I think it's so inappropriate, the.

[Paige]

Vulnerability that you have to be when you try on something. Also, I'm not wearing a matching outfit. I don't have makeup on. I already feel like a rat. Just like a hairless.

[Ali]

I don't try things on. I ordered online, and then I tried on the comfort of my home, and then I return it like a normal person.

[Paige]

I order it online, I forget to return it like a normal person.

[Ali]

Yeah, no, that's so you.

[Paige]

By the way, whenever we talk about when we're on our period, any other gigglers that are on their period message me, and they said there's a conspiracy theory that all the gigglers are synced up.

[Ali]

Okay, well, could someone sync up with me? Because obviously, like, the month I'm ready to freeze my eggs, my period is like, actually, we don't want to come.

[Paige]

Did your period come?

[Ali]

No, haven't gotten it in two months.

[Paige]

But you're not pregnant.

[Ali]

No, I'm stressed out. No, I'm stressed out. So now I'm like, where's the blood going? I think my body is so sensitive that it's like, oh, we know we're supposed to do something. And, like, my body is so me, you know, it's like, oh, you want us to come?

[Paige]

That's hilarious. You're like, you have one job.

[Ali]

No, literally, of one job.

[Paige]

One job. I'm sorry.

[Ali]

And so I'm just waiting for it.

[Paige]

Periods are so funny because you want to get it so bad, and then when you get it, you hate it so much. Yeah. And that's called the life of a woman. Anyhow, forever. 21. What's going on?

[Ali]

I know. How sad.

[Paige]

I mean, all their clothes is in landfills. But what, are they actually bankrupt or they're just, like, announcing bankruptcy?

[Ali]

I think they're just, like, closing all.

[Paige]

The stores, like, period.

[Ali]

I think they're done.

[Paige]

Yeah, but, like, keeping it online?

[Ali]

I don't think so. I think done, done.

[Paige]

Maybe they should charge more than $2 for jeans.

[Ali]

You want to know what it is? I think with, like, these stores, the people that we're in our 30s now and they didn't grow with us.

[Paige]

Wait, you could be so right.

[Ali]

Like, that's what I think about a lot of, like, stores that close.

[Paige]

Like, it also, I feel like Gen Zs have opinions on, like, strong opinions on fast fashion.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

I don't know.

[Ali]

And I don't think they're shopping the way, like, we were in store.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

And we only had forever 21.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

Like, Abercrombie hadn't, like, done their.

[Paige]

Well, it was, like, the first place we could afford, and you could just, like, go off at Forever 21. But then now there's so many fast fashion places. Like, I guess, like, Sheen and all them have just, like.

[Ali]

Yeah. I mean, you couldn't. There wasn't, like, Amazon prime when we went to. I remember I would hit Forever 21 and Bibi, and those are my guests. And that was, like, my summer wardrobe.

[Paige]

You know who loves Bibi?

[Ali]

Who?

[Paige]

My nana.

[Ali]

No.

[Paige]

She's obsessed with Bibi.

[Ali]

No. I loved BB So much. I literally. This is how much I loved it. Being in, like, high school. I was too young to work there, and all I wanted to do was work there. I was like, mom, I could get a discount. She was like, you're 14. I was like, I get a discount. I could work at the cash register. And she was like, you can't count change.

[Paige]

Did you ever just for fun, walk into Hot Topic? Yeah.

[Ali]

Like, and Spencer's.

[Paige]

Yeah. Yeah. Just to be like, do I want to have a goth day? And then you're like, wait, I'm scared.

[Ali]

No. My mom would have screamed at me.

[Paige]

Oh, my God. Mall.

[Ali]

That's the only store that survived in Albany. In the mall was like, Spencer's. I'm like, how?

[Paige]

I'm not. No, that's crazy. I'm not trying to be like. I'm not.

[Ali]

Wait, do you see my eye twitching? I've had an eye twitch for three days. And you know what that means.

[Paige]

I love that you do, because normally you blame it on tour, and now you can just blame it on yourself.

[Ali]

I have an eye twitch, which means a man is about to die soon. Oh, no. It's that time of year. I have to sacrifice a man. No, truly, I've had this eye drop for like four days.

[Paige]

Because you also think everyone's like staring at it.

[Ali]

I don't even think that everyone's staring at it. I'm just like, what is it your.

[Paige]

Bigger eye or your smaller eye? It's your bigger eye. How? Why did I even ask? I can see it up.

[Ali]

Question.

[Paige]

I don't know. Check your cornea.

[Ali]

No, it's just like, I think stress.

[Paige]

I personally feel like spring is the superior season, especially for style. I feel like summer, I'm hot. I don't want to wear any clothes. Yeah. Winter, I'm wearing too many clothes.

[Ali]

It's too much.

[Paige]

Spring is the perfect amount of clothes. And that's why we're excited to get into this special segment presented by Nordstrom and Acast Creative. It's your go to destination for spring as you look to add the latest trends to your wardrobe this season. But when you know from Paige, what trends from Nordstrom are people getting?

[Ali]

Here's the other thing about spring that I just want to say. It's like a fresh start.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

Like if you're like, oh, I'm going to revamp my entire personality.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

You're going to just change your name, change your job, also change all of your clothes.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

Some of my favorite spring trends. I'm loving a trench, loving a trench coat. Love a crop trench coat to the floor trench coat. Love a trench coat as a dress with some knee high, thigh high boots.

[Paige]

And like a belt.

[Ali]

Slouchy belts are in and like big slouchy bags. I love that big bags are back in because it's like I wasn't fitting anything before. So like a big bag can really like change your whole outfit.

[Paige]

I'm also loving Kendrick Lamar's jeans and Those are in style 70s inspired denim full skirts.

[Ali]

And Nordstrom has everything. They have mango, they have skims. Levi's free people made well. Veronica Beard. Veronica Beard has such good coats right now too. Like, do yourself a favor, get a nice spring jacket.

[Paige]

Yeah, just get one.

[Ali]

Nothing says spring. Like, this is my spring jacket.

[Paige]

Yes. I can't wait to wear this to the outfit. I hate when I put on a jacket that just ruins everything that I created.

[Ali]

The best thing about spring too is you know what you're buying for spring. You can also repurpose in the summer and the fall.

[Paige]

Yeah. I also used to live by a Nordstrom. And what people don't know about it is they have really good like beauty. They have skin care, eye patches, tools, moisturizers, serum. So they have like fun extra stuff too. And there's thousands of options under $100. So it's affordable and trendy.

[Ali]

Also, spring is you're figuring out what.

[Hannah]

Your summer plans are.

[Ali]

You're going on like a little weekend away. Nordstrom really is great for packing. I've become such a good packer since you have like I'm, I'm in there with my packing cubes.

[Paige]

See, I'm panic packing. Nordstrom makes it easy to get what you need within your daily routine through fast delivery, risk free shopping, the option to return. So I love Nordstrom for last minute things that I need on a trip.

[Ali]

You can get vacation ready with Nordstrom with a ton of styles and travel essentials all for under $100.

[Paige]

They have free store pickups you buy online, pick up today or pick up tomorrow. For a wider selection choose curbs. We love that at Nordstrom stores or in store at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rec. Both options are quick and convenient.

[Ali]

And one of my favorite things about Nordstrom is you can get free standard shipping all the time plus a two day and next day option. I'm in there with the next day option. Plus it's risk free shopping with free returns in store or by mail.

[Paige]

I get so much stuff online that takes forever to get there. I forget why I bought it and then it doesn't fit me and then I'm too lazy to return it because you have to pay money for it. Nordstrom makes it so easy in and out.

[Ali]

Thank you for listening to this segment brought to you in partnership with Nordstrom and Acast Creative.

[Paige]

[Ali]

Yeah. Lied even longer.

[Paige]

I don't even think. I don't think. I've been like, I don't have good insurance, and I, like, use that.

[Ali]

You just, like, haven't been going. You never get a uti?

[Paige]

No, Like, I have a very healthy ph balance of my.

[Ali]

I'm so proud of you.

[Paige]

Also, I feel like when your Is this little, you don't have to get it checked up because it's like, not even.

[Ali]

Nothing can even go in there.

[Paige]

It's literally not even there. You can't even find it.

[Ali]

So she. I'm like a hypochondriac. Like, I'm. They're like, you need. You don't need to get a pap smear again. I'm like, just check it again.

[Paige]

No, my mom literally had, like, an intervention. She was like, now you're back from Tor, you have to go to the doctor to schedule a pap smear.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And then I also have this huge, like, pat fat globule lipoma. All the gigglers are messaging me about lipomas. I'm like, what were they saying? Is this your 30s?

[Ali]

Wait, what were they saying about your lipoma?

[Paige]

One girl was like, make sure you use a good surgeon. One other girl was like, it's definitely gonna take a consultation first and just, like, start cutting you open.

[Ali]

Right.

[Paige]

I was like, I'm literally busy. I don't have time for a consult. But I got a pap. It was quick.

[Ali]

Was it?

[Paige]

I don't. I remember, like, it being a little more like.

[Ali]

Well, because you were younger and you were more nervous. Now you're like, this is like, this isn't going to take me out.

[Paige]

Is it even in. Yes, it's going to be.

[Ali]

It's going to take a lot more to shoot me down today. Yeah. A cold speculum. I welcome it now.

[Paige]

Being a girl is crazy, though.

[Ali]

Crazy.

[Paige]

Like they just shove something in you, and I was crazy. I wasn't in the mood for it.

[Ali]

Is that like, it's 20, 25 and they're still. They're like. They still crank it, you know? Like. Like, you would think the technology.

[Paige]

No, it looks like a medieval torture device.

[Ali]

No, it's One of the craziest things ever. And they're like, oh, hey, no problem. We're just gonna stuff this up you.

[Paige]

And you're like stainless steel duck beak.

[Ali]

No.

[Paige]

No lube.

[Ali]

None at all. And then they're just like, this won't. This won't hurt. Like, that's crazy. Yeah, crazy.

[Paige]

So how often do you do that?

[Ali]

Well, you go once a year.

[Paige]

Once a year.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

So anyway, everything was fine. I know you guys were nervous.

[Ali]

Good.

[Paige]

But we're fine.

[Ali]

See, I always have an abnormal, and I have to do more. Yeah, I've always had abnormal since I was, like, 16.

[Paige]

What's abnormal about it?

[Ali]

So many things. Who knows?

[Paige]

Well, thank you for raising awareness and making people know you have abnormal paps.

[Ali]

Yeah. And then I have to go in. I'll always have to get. You've never had to get your cervix, like, scraped to do, like, more testing?

[Paige]

I don't think so.

[Ali]

I always have to get my cervix scraped. Why do they have to test the cells?

[Paige]

Why. Why do they test?

[Ali]

Because they literally go in and scrape a piece off of it to, like. Chris has shut the up. Chris has thrown up in his mouth seven times.

[Paige]

Chris, you're so freaking lucky. I hope that someone sticks something up your butthole. I hope someone literally, when you cough and they're feeling your. Anyway, that's not gonna. I'm gonna get fired. Chrissy, don't get it. No, Chris has actually learned a lot from us. Question I wanted to ask you because I. I put on smart list for the first time. I never.

[Ali]

Oh, you. Oh, okay.

[Paige]

But, like, Adam Scott was on, and I'm into severance, and their first initial conversation was like, what they need when they sleep. And I was like, I actually don't really know what you need when you actually. I kind of know what you need when you sleep. You like it to be dark. Then you need to be watching something, and you need your phone in one hand, and then you kind of just let the night take you where it goes.

[Ali]

Yeah, I need it cool. I need to be, like, Cool. I need to be, like, 68 in the room.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

And I need my Stanley to be properly filled and next to me.

[Paige]

So one thing that Paige hates about me is I do have Stanley's, but I don't put ice in it, so I just have warm Stanley all the time.

[Ali]

She's literally bring a water bottle that, like. Then what's the point of a Stanley if you're not gonna use its.

[Paige]

Sorry, I don't have an expensive ice machine.

[Ali]

But you have ice. Don't make it about the ice machine. Don't make it about the ice.

[Paige]

Wait, you want me to hand make ice?

[Ali]

You have an ice maker?

[Paige]

Yeah, but I don't like it. I feel like it's dirty. It like sometimes smells. You know what smells like? Old water. Does anyone? Nobody.

[Ali]

Well, then you need to clean it. You clean your ice machine.

[Paige]

You have to clean your ice machine.

[Ali]

Don't use that ice. Actually, you've cleaned your eyes. I personally haven't, but I've had my like.

[Paige]

You call my ice machine cleaner?

[Ali]

I got a guy. I'll send you a guy.

[Paige]

Grabbing it. Where were we? Oh, yeah. So you have your Stanley.

[Ali]

I have my Stanley. And that's pretty much it.

[Paige]

That's it. Do you like blackout curtains?

[Ali]

I love them, but, like, it's super dangerous for a person like me.

[Paige]

We can't wake up.

[Ali]

No. If you give me like blackout curtains, especially on like vacation, I've missed the whole day 100%.

[Paige]

See, this is the problem with marriage.

[Ali]

Oh, you could never have a blackout curtain.

[Paige]

No. Des like, needs blackout curtains.

[Ali]

Oh, he does.

[Paige]

So does is like much more temperamental. So temperamental where I just want it ice cold and that's it.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

I could have. You, you could punch.

[Ali]

I go as far to say you don't even need the mattress or the accoutrement that go with it.

[Paige]

I don't use a pillow.

[Ali]

You'll lay your head wherever.

[Paige]

I just don't want to feel hot and that's it. But like, I, I, I really like the sun coming in because I won't wake up. Or when I do, I'm going to be like in a dark, dark depressed state.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And then that's bad for everyone in my vicinity.

[Ali]

No, I like a blackout curtain, but I, I have to be regimented with it or else I'll.

[Paige]

You have to set a strong alarm. Yeah.

[Ali]

Like, I have like semi blackout curtains right now.

[Paige]

Do you remember in the movie the Holiday when Kate Winslet goes to the LA mansion and when she wakes up, all of it all automatically, all the windows open? I was. And there's like a beach outside. I was like, okay, goals manifest.

[Ali]

I love that.

[Paige]

DEZ does this annoying thing where if I like make a movement, he wakes, like, he wakes up so easily. And he says it's because he's a hunter.

[Ali]

Do you ever. Are you ever, like, in bed with your husband and he's asleep and you're just like, like it's not happening for me. Right now. Like, I'm just not. There's just a no situation. I'm gonna sleep. So do you remove yourself and, like, go to the couch and do your own thing and then go back, or do you just lay there on your phone, like, no sound? Do you have a TV in your room?

[Paige]

No.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Wait, what kind of.

[Ali]

Wait, wait, wait.

[Paige]

I don't know. What kind of military operation.

[Ali]

Wait, is it handmade tale over there? What the fuck are you talking about?

[Paige]

To sit there with your thoughts?

[Ali]

He doesn't. Like, you have a. Have a TV in your room.

[Paige]

We just don't. And honestly, it's because.

[Ali]

Don't make excuses for him.

[Paige]

Like, my parents are like, there's no TV allowed in your room.

[Ali]

Oh, so you've never had a TV in your room? No. Your last apartment, you had a TV in your room?

[Paige]

No.

[Ali]

So when you go to bed at night. Sorry, my eyes twitching now, like, faster than ever. What are you doing in there?

[Paige]

Okay, so first I watch TV on the couch until I'm, like, about to.

[Ali]

Pass out, but which is, like, what time, though? Give me a time frame.

[Paige]

It can vary from 10 to 1.

[Ali]

Okay. Okay.

[Paige]

And then I try to roll myself in bed, try not to wake up dez, but he's always like, yeah. And then I'm like, okay, please stop. And then I get into bed, and then I go on my New York Times crossword app.

[Ali]

Okay.

[Paige]

And that normally puts me asleep.

[Ali]

Okay.

[Paige]

He listens to, like, a podcast in his ear. That's his thing. He listens to, like, boring podcasts.

[Ali]

You guys are freaks.

[Paige]

Well, and then if I can't, then I wait. And then butter comes and butter starts cuddling me, and that normally puts me to sleep.

[Ali]

Okay.

[Paige]

But we have this one rule in our relationship where we're both. He. He has filmed me snoring before, which is illegal. Like, that's hipaa. Yeah, but he knows he snores sometimes, and he said I'm allowed to wake him up if he's snoring.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

So when he snores, I poke him and he goes.

[Ali]

There's nothing I love more than waking a man up when he's snoring. Because you're like, you're ruining the experience for everyone.

[Paige]

I do have to say, snoring husbands. Like, I think it ruin ruins marriages.

[Ali]

I could see that. See, I'm a big fan of, like, if I'm sleeping in the bed with a man and, like, I can't fall asleep. And they're obviously, like, fell asleep three hours ago. I Love scramming. Like, I love sneaking out of the bedroom, getting on the couch, turning my TikTok on full fucking blast, and, like, falling and then falling asleep on my own. Like, on the couch.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

And then like, going back in the bedroom at like 5am When I wake up.

[Paige]

You're a cat. That's what a cat does.

[Ali]

No, like, I have to. It's almost like I have to be. This is one of the reasons I'm actually so scared that, like, maybe I really never will get married. I hate sleeping in bed with men. Like, I genuinely hate it. And I. I don't know what it is because, like, I can fall asleep on the couch with them, but once it comes to, like, getting in the bed and, like, falling asleep, I'm like, no, I have to be alone. Like, I have to hang out with myself more.

[Paige]

It doesn't make sense. Like, we all have roommates, right? And then you get to the point where you try to not have a roommate, but then when you meet a guy, now you're forced to have a roommate.

[Ali]

Right?

[Paige]

But this roommate literally takes up half the bed and is hot and is breathing in your fucking.

[Ali]

Yeah. And I'm like, and now I can't watch a TV show and, like, also have my phone on when it's like 3am because you have to sleep.

[Paige]

And it's like, I understand intimacy sometimes. I understand quality time.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

When you're both asleep, like, is that really intimacy? It's just like, you can't all have, like four bedroom houses.

[Ali]

I feel like I need my own bedroom.

[Paige]

Sleeping in separate beds I honestly think is great. Or just get like, the biggest possible bed you can find.

[Ali]

I need my own bedroom. And I'm so down to start the night with you and then, like, start the morning with you. But what I do on the in between between is like, none of your business.

[Paige]

You're starting a business, you're running numbers. You're looking up past ex's, ex's, ex's girlfriends. You have stuff to do during the night.

[Ali]

I saw a TikTok that was like, I still stalk my ex's ex, even though we broke up, but she's part of my routine.

[Paige]

Wait, wait, your comfort stock.

[Ali]

Your comfort stock.

[Paige]

Your comfort stock. Where, like, when you watch them, it kind of makes your day.

[Ali]

Yeah. You know, like, I haven't had like a good. I haven't had anyone good to stalk in so long because, like, I. My finster, I like, it got taken away and that got taken away, but I literally, like, forgot the Password. It was like, another one of my other girlfriends. And I was just like, it got logged off my Instagram, like, two years ago, and I was like, I probably shouldn't have one anymore. And, like, I don't have anyone good to stalk. So, like, I don't have. But when I saw that, I was like, oh, I miss, like, stalking people.

[Paige]

I will stalk, like, random people. Like, I like to see a photo of, like, a girl who looks cool, and I'll click on her and I'm like, oh, my God, she's so cool. Look at her outfit. Yeah, look at her aesthetic. And then I'll see the guy she's with and I'll click him.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And the next, you know, I'm in, like, a wormhole of, like, I've actually.

[Ali]

Followed this girl for years, and she's not famous, she's not an influencer, but I found her one day, and she lives in Lebanon, and I watched her get engaged, and I watched her get married, and I just thought she was pretty. I think she's so pretty, and I think her husband's so hot. And they're just like a normal couple that doesn't live in America. And I stalk her all the time.

[Paige]

And that's important, I think, and that's important. And that's important for the world.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Can I say criticism of Instagram? I follow anything that inspires me on Instagram. Like, if I see one design account follow.

[Ali]

Yeah, you throw out follows.

[Paige]

Like, I follow over 6,000 things on Instagram, but that's not what Instagram's made for. Because even though I feel like the more people you follow, the less people you see.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

I see the same four Insta stories of the same four people every day. And, like, it's not even like I. I'm close to those people.

[Ali]

Right.

[Paige]

It's just somehow they're my algorithm. And, like, I don't know, I just feel upset. I feel like I follow all these people and I want to see more.

[Ali]

Isn't it crazy how, like, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are so vastly different? Like, you have to put yourself in. Like, I haven't gone on Facebook in years. I don't know what the vibe is over there, but I know it's, like, really scary, but, like, you have to put yourself in. Like, when I'm in TikTok comments, I'm like, she's fun, she's flirty. She can, like, say whatever. Instagram comments are starting to get where I'm like, button up.

[Paige]

Like.

[Ali]

Like, I wanna Say something snarky. But I'm like, are they gonna get it where TikTok. I can, like, fully go on TikTok.

[Paige]

You're like, was that crazy enough off my comment?

[Ali]

Someone said the people that make TikToks are extroverts, and the people that comment TikToks are introverts, but more often funnier.

[Paige]

That's interesting. I've never done drugs, but I feel like all the apps are just different types of drugs.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

So, like, I think TikTok's Molly MDMA.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

I could.

[Ali]

I could. Yeah. It's an upper. She's definitely an upper.

[Paige]

I feel like Instagram's cocaine.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

You're just like, this is the post. Yeah.

[Ali]

How many people are liking it?

[Paige]

Did all my friends see it? Talk to me like me, Jeremy. Wait.

[Ali]

And Facebook is like a Viagra where you're like, okay.

[Paige]

It's been 36 hours and we're still going. Stop posting about your tuna fish sandwich.

[Ali]

Yeah. It's like, you couldn't naturally get here. Someone had to show you how to, like, work, how to get here.

[Paige]

Anytime on Facebook, it's by accident. Like, I click the wrong link. I click and I get so scared. Oh, God. And then. And then Threads is.

[Ali]

I don't ever click Threads. Threads is a popper, 100%. I have a question for the teachers. What a segue.

[Paige]

It was natural. I thought it was natural.

[Ali]

Are they still playing 7 up in school?

[Paige]

I hope so.

[Ali]

Or, like, was that lost? Is that a dead art? Was that lost with our generation? Because I saw this TikTok and it was like, things kids will never experience in school that you experienced. Remember when you had a textbook and you opened it up to see who had that textbook before you? Not a thing.

[Paige]

There's just, like, dicks everywhere.

[Ali]

Go into the library. You have to take out a book. You see, like, everyone that took out that book.

[Paige]

The smell of that, like. Like light manila thing in the back of it.

[Ali]

Like, not there anymore. So there were just all these things. And then I was like, are they playing 7 up? Heads up. Like, I need to know.

[Paige]

I remember people cheated so much in that game. So I didn't like it. I think. I didn't think it was just because everyone was supposed to. Right. I wanted. If we were.

[Ali]

How are they cheating? They were lusting.

[Paige]

There's integrity in this game. This is what we have to do. Because I wanted to compete.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And I said, if it's gonna be a fair competition, I can't have people looking and seeing who did it?

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

So I didn't like 7Up for that reason. However, it was a high that I haven't felt since.

[Ali]

No, there was a certain kind of high.

[Paige]

I shut the lights and I was like, it's a clear no.

[Ali]

When they turned the lights off, I was like, things are freaky. There was a sexual. There was a sexual undertone. There was. When they turned the lights off, it was like, if your crush picked you for 7Up, it was like, oh, he.

[Paige]

Wanted to touch you.

[Ali]

Game over.

[Paige]

Yeah. No, wait. That's so true.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Wait, but did you play with guys?

[Ali]

Yeah, I played in middle school. See, since I had such long arms, I always felt like I was at an advantage for something because I would pass you, then put my arm out and put, like, someone's fingers down. So it's like they already thought I'd. I had gone.

[Paige]

You know, kids these days will never experience rolling the TV when they roll.

[Ali]

Yeah, they'll never experience that.

[Paige]

They won't. I wonder if this is gonna sound messed up, but, like, can Gen Alpha, like, write? Like, are they required to write in notebooks or is it just typing from day one?

[Ali]

I don't know.

[Paige]

Grace, how's your handwriting? Great. She's like, why am I catching straight?

[Ali]

She's offended and appalled, actually. And speechless, I would say.

[Paige]

Why are men so bad at handwriting?

[Ali]

Let's not get into it. Because mine's so bad and people are really going to see when they get, like, signed copies of how to Giggle. It's kind of crazy.

[Paige]

Your signature is not that bad.

[Ali]

But my handwriting is not what you expect.

[Paige]

It's not what you need.

[Ali]

It's just so off brand for me.

[Paige]

You envision you having, like, full calligraphy.

[Ali]

Yeah. And it's not.

[Paige]

It's not.

[Ali]

There are a few things that people, like, really assume about me, and I let them because it's better than what? What's reality. And that's one of them.

[Paige]

None of your business.

[Ali]

None of my business What?

[Paige]

You think my handwriting up in your head. Exactly. My handwriting is, like, fine. Like, it's not embarrassing.

[Ali]

No, your handwriting's fine.

[Paige]

It's fine. But writing, I think, was therapeutic. Also hot take. I have had some days where I was off my phone the last couple weeks.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And I just want to say that the world is. Your phone actually does cause depression.

[Ali]

No, I thought fully.

[Paige]

I'm sorry. Like, I've had so many days that I end up spiraling because of, like, the littlest thing I saw on my phone.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And I'm like, yeah, I could not look at my phone, but, like, whatever. But I've actually been off my phone, and, like, I feel a new. I feel just different.

[Ali]

You know what's funny is, like, I haven't been on my phone either, like, the past couple of days, and there's nothing.

[Paige]

Meanwhile, we both have, like, seven hours of screen time.

[Ali]

100%. There is nothing like not being on your phone and, like, truly not knowing what's going on on, like, the Internet, because you're just, like, literally with the people that you're with in real life. And then you get a text from, like, two friends where you're like, are you okay?

[Paige]

Yep.

[Ali]

I hope, like, oh, I don't know how you're dealing with all this. It's so much.

[Paige]

Yeah, I'm like, wait, I'm fine. I'm fine.

[Ali]

And, like, I was fine, but actually, what's everyone saying? Send me all the screenshots.

[Paige]

At first, you do get fomo, and I felt like I didn't know what was happening in the world. But then you start feeling better than people. You're like, oh. Oh, you're up on that. I'm sorry. I was living.

[Ali]

Yeah, I'm like, sorry, I was trying to stay off my phone the past couple of days. What's going on?

[Paige]

But it is, like.

[Ali]

And my voice changes to that.

[Paige]

It is, like, sugar, though, where I feel like at first you're, like, feening. You actually feel worse. You start, like, trying to focus, and you can't focus in real life. You're like, what did people do?

[Ali]

My hands all shake because I'm like, check their profile. Check their. See what That's. That one said.

[Paige]

Yeah. And then you're just like, like, looking at the wall, staring at it, like, what's my purpose? But then after, I feel like I had less FOMO when I was off my phone and I started to just, like, feel better within myself. And, like, I'm not a big comparison person. I think everyone compares online.

[Ali]

But I'm surprised you have FOMO as much as you do, because you don't really like going out.

[Paige]

No, my FOMO was more like, what's. What's, like, going on in, like, in the news? And, like, I want to know, like, every. All the gossip. Like, I like.

[Ali]

Yeah, like, what are, like, the niche TikTok references that are only happening this week?

[Paige]

I want to know the. The jokes. I want to know what's, like.

[Ali]

I feel like I did say a TikTok reference the other day, and you're.

[Hannah]

Like, sorry, I don't know what you're.

[Ali]

Talking about because I haven't been on my phone. I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.

[Paige]

I know, but things are just like simpler when you're off your phone.

[Ali]

No, it's a simpler time.

[Paige]

Like, I feel like I live.

[Ali]

I'm literally ballerina fox. When I don't go on my phone for two days. I'm like, should I have a baseball team of children?

[Paige]

I swear to God. I was off my phone and I was like, I think I have time to have a baby. And then I realized, I think we.

[Ali]

Come up with the craziest things when we're not on our phone anymore.

[Paige]

I thought I was too busy to have a baby. Cause I'm in so many mental jumping around in gymnastics on my phone all day. And then I stopped being on my phone and I was like, I literally could have a child.

[Ali]

I'm like, what if I did Whole 30 and started a charity?

[Paige]

A Whole 30 cherries.

[Hannah]

[Paige]

Mauricio has, like, Kyle. Kyle's guy had a bracelet stack, and it was of, like, stretchy, like, Taylor.

[Ali]

Swift bracelets or like. Of, like, Cartier.

[Paige]

I think it was a combination. Just like a man wearing stacked bracelets, and everyone was like, oof, he's going through something. Yeah. Like, this is a weird stage. I don't. Men with too many accessories. Like, you're trying to distract me from something. I don't trust men who wear a lot of accessories at all. And, like, a stacked bracelet moment.

[Ali]

What are Dez's accessories of choice?

[Paige]

Oh, my God. Well, his first birthday, I almost bought him a watch. And I bought him this watch from, like, this vintage place.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

They give it to me. There's no watch in it. They just gave me an empty box. And thank God I didn't leave the store or they would have thought I just, like, stole a watch.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And then I wasn't able to get it for him, and I was like, I was gonna get you a watch, and I got him something else, and he was like, I've never worn a watch in my life. Why would you ever get me a watch?

[Ali]

Wow. I'm not a watch guy.

[Paige]

And I was like, I don't know, because you're.

[Ali]

Yeah, that's like, you look like there's, like, four gifts you get men. It's a golf star watch.

[Paige]

Like, he doesn't wear watches. He doesn't wear necklaces. He really is bare bones the man. He just wants, like, sporting equipment.

[Ali]

That's nice.

[Paige]

He doesn't. Oh, my God. I bought him a wallet once. He was like, I don't need a wallet.

[Ali]

Wait, where's he putting his stuff? Where's he putting his id?

[Paige]

I don't know.

[Ali]

You never asked.

[Paige]

Men, it's just like, they don't even have. They don't have nothing, and they just.

[Ali]

Have it just, like, in his pocket.

[Paige]

I think he might have a clip.

[Ali]

Or something my dad doesn't have. My dad raw dogs it.

[Paige]

Like, he just holds cash and a card.

[Ali]

I don't even know if he holds an id.

[Paige]

Clamshells. What is he using? What's he.

[Ali]

How is he paying for things?

[Paige]

Can I ask, what are cool girls doing for wallets?

[Ali]

I have a card case.

[Paige]

Oh, yeah, you do?

[Ali]

I have, like, a YSL card thing.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

What do you use?

[Paige]

So I've actually had a comedic.

[Ali]

Oh, yeah. Like, little like, short wallet.

[Paige]

Eight years.

[Ali]

Yeah. You've had that.

[Paige]

It has a zipper. Because I don't trust anyone.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Or myself.

[Ali]

I used to have, like, a long, like, mom wallet.

[Paige]

It's too big. It's too big, it's too big. So I have that. And I was just wondering, like, I think there's so many good, like, cute, vintage wallets going around.

[Ali]

You know what my assistant got me for Christmas? That is. Was adorable. She went to Japan, like, with her family, like, over Christmas, went to Japan.

[Paige]

To buy me something.

[Ali]

And she went. Did, like, because obviously Japan has, like, the craziest vintage shopping. And she found this Louis Vuitton key holder that they don't even make anymore. They, like, stopped making them, like, in the 50s. And so you, like, it has, like, a little button, and you, like, open it up and it has, like, a little chain, and you, like, attach your keys to it, and then you, like, like, snap it shut. It's so freaking cute.

[Paige]

So cute.

[Ali]

And so I bring that everywhere. I have that in my card case, and that's actually, like, what's in my pocket right now.

[Paige]

Do you remember when you were going out and it was trendy to have those tiny bags and, like, we didn't know what to do, and you were just like. You, like, you just lose your phone.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Are those little bags. They're not trending anymore, are they?

[Ali]

Little bags are kind of like, like, out now.

[Paige]

It's like, you need the biggest bag ever.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Now you need to, like, put a huge leather bag in the middle of it.

[Ali]

It's very like a Boheme. And you have to carry it like this. Like, this is my child.

[Paige]

And it has to look like it's been through hell and back.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Which actually, honestly, it's more on brand for me anyway. Mauricio, I hope you're okay.

[Ali]

Oh, that's how we started that.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

I hate men with an. With a bracelet situation. Like, that one time I. I bought myself a. A tennis bracelet, like, because, hello.

[Paige]

Obviously.

[Ali]

And I was, like, dating a man at the time, and he was like, I want a tennis bracelet, too. And I was like.

[Paige]

Chris, do you have any accessories? I have a watch. And then in the summertime, I'll. I'll throw one bracelet on sometimes. Wait, explain it to me. What about the summer makes it bracelet weather? It's bracelet time, dude. We're just loose. We're loose.

[Ali]

One bracelet.

[Paige]

One.

[Ali]

One bracelet doesn't. No.

[Paige]

But why not the winter? I don't know. It just doesn't feel right. Yeah.

[Ali]

Because they're wearing short sleeves and they're like, hey, we're. I'm in accessories. Like, a little. No, but this man wanted a diamond tennis bracelet I almost threw off. No, I was like, it's not.

[Paige]

No.

[Ali]

For you.

[Paige]

It's not for you at all.

[Ali]

I was like, cool, buy yourself one. And me.

[Paige]

Yeah, buy yourself one in my size.

[Ali]

Thank you. Then get two.

[Paige]

I also, I want to call out the New York Times.

[Ali]

What do they do? What do they do now?

[Paige]

Well, I love the New York Times. I get a lot of great emails from them. But one, I just want all the gigglers. This is our mental health moment.

[Ali]

Wait, did you feel like such an adult when you, like, subscribe to the New York Times?

[Paige]

Oh, yeah. I was like, I know what's going on.

[Ali]

Like, I'm an adult. I pay taxes. Like, sometimes I'll get, like, emails, and I forget that I'm, like, subscribed to, like, Business Insider. I'm like, like, what business do I have even being subscribed to this?

[Paige]

I don't remember subscribing to anything, but I am.

[Ali]

Yeah. And I am Business Insider.

[Paige]

I think that we all have to remember that no one knows what they're doing. Everything's smoke and mirrors, and everyone's talking out of their ass and flailing.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Because the New York Times, someone wrote this article, like, they were, like, really onto something. Like, they figured something out, really passionate about it. I swear to God. This is the article. Chef recommends chips in sandwich. Like, it was some groundbreaking discovery. I've been putting chips in my tuna fish sandwich since I was 6 years.

[Ali]

Old, since we were given sandwiches.

[Paige]

And they literally, with this whole article, like, he highly recommends the texture and saltiness of the crisp. No shit, Sherlock.

[Ali]

You ever had a turkey sandwich with a Dorito chip smack dab on there in the middle of a summer day? Hello.

[Paige]

A cool ranch Dorito with a turkey. Get a rip.

[Ali]

Thyme.

[Paige]

What the hell? Like, and I. At least I give credit where credit's due. It's us when we're six years old. Don't give it to this. This guy didn't have to go to France and work for a Michelin star restaurant to tell me chips taste good in a sandwich.

[Ali]

You actually said something a little bit ago that people don't talk about in enough Chips on a tuna sandwich. Much different than chips on any other sandwich. I. I would say it makes the whole tuna sandwich a hundred percent. A homemade tuna has to be homemade.

[Paige]

Yes. 100. I didn't think people ate sandwiches without chips in them.

[Ali]

Yeah. So it's really hard to eat a sandwich. No chip.

[Paige]

Yeah, that's.

[Ali]

It's kind of. It's like, okay. Yeah. So I just don't have a side 100%.

[Paige]

But I really love that they were like, we'll wait.

[Ali]

Let's play a game really quickly. I feel like you're similar. I feel like you're similar to me in this. Certain meals I. E. Like, certain sandwiches require certain drinks. And it's very specific on, like, what drink to what you're eating.

[Paige]

I mean, there's definitely things that are.

[Ali]

Illegal, so, like, Chinese food. I'm going 1, 2, 3.

[Paige]

Soda.

[Ali]

Okay.

[Paige]

I don't drink soda.

[Ali]

Oh, right. I'm actually going ginger ale.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Ali]

Okay. Turkey sandwich. One, two, three. Snack ball. Gatorade.

[Paige]

Gatorade. Snapple. Snapple, too. Same thing. Juice is what I was talking about.

[Ali]

Okay.

[Paige]

Juice. Juice.

[Ali]

Okay. I'm trying to think of another one, but, like, I can have a tuna. I can have a turkey sandwich and not have it.

[Paige]

As I see my mom, who's like. Like a health buff.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Cannot have pizza without Coke.

[Ali]

That was like. That's another really good pizza.

[Paige]

You need a Coke because the soda gets through the. The. The fatty ass.

[Ali]

You just need it.

[Paige]

It's a scientific.

[Ali]

You literally need us.

[Paige]

I don't know. Maybe I should read the New York Times to figure out. No, but I do have to say the New York Times has incredible, like, cooking. Like, the recipes are insane.

[Ali]

Really?

[Paige]

Yeah. New York Times recipes. Like, is. People will be like, fancy. People will be like, oh, this is a salmon recipe from the New York Times. Like, it's very regal. That's why when I saw a whole article about putting chips in a sandwich, I was like, who? What kind of layoffs did they have at the New York Times?

[Ali]

Did you do your wedding in the New York Times?

[Paige]

No, we chose not to.

[Ali]

I think I'm gonna throw mine in there.

[Paige]

Yeah. And Vogue.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

I already planned out your whole wedding's PR tour.

[Ali]

I can't wait.

[Paige]

I'm so excited.

[Ali]

What a fun time.

[Paige]

What a fun time.

[Ali]

You know, it's so funny to think about how different my bachelorette party is going to be than yours. Because, like, we're older, but really, like, I should have had that type of bachelorette party, and I'm probably gonna have one that you should have had. Like, what if I'm like, let's go to a farm upstate?

[Paige]

I was supposed to be the last of my friends to get married.

[Ali]

I know. You were like, my Literal first.

[Paige]

I felt that in my heart of hearts, but, like, I think I'm gonna say something.

[Ali]

I never thought I was gonna be the last. I really. Every time we went around the group at the lunch table in high school, no one ever picked me last.

[Paige]

Also, you're not the last. None of our friends are married.

[Ali]

Who are our friends? Honestly, we have to stop comparing ourselves to Grace, who's younger than us.

[Paige]

True.

[Ali]

Works for us. Not our actual. Doesn't want to be our friend. Okay.

[Paige]

I literally, contractually obligated to be here right now. You're not last.

[Ali]

No, I'm literally kidding. I don't give a fuck.

[Paige]

It's about perspective, and I need to.

[Ali]

Be last because I need to get up in the middle of the night and go on the couch and be by myself. And once I work through that.

[Paige]

I also like thinking when I'm younger and we used to, like, hook up with guys and, like, like, just stay. I don't know. I. It's when you're in your 30s, it's like staying over. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ali]

It's like, I'm not staying over.

[Paige]

And his roommates are there when you get out.

[Ali]

Oh, well, I would never do well. Come on, have put some respect on my name. You think I'm staying at places where people have roommates? Get a grip, Hannah.

[Paige]

Sorry, I. But also, like, the roommates were fun. It was part of the hang. Like, after, like, come on, hang with us.

[Ali]

Totally part of the hang. When you're like, 26, 32, it's a bit depressing. Say bye to your roommate for me. Like, no, you're like, jeff, don't give.

[Paige]

Me that look, Jeff. Your life sucks, Jeff. And your room is ugly. I don't like the decor.

[Ali]

No.

[Paige]

You don't even have a real light.

[Ali]

No, it is funny. Like, Even in my 20s, though, I didn't really. I don't feel like I slept out that much because you know what's way.

[Paige]

Worse than waking up in someone's apartment with roommates when he wakes up in your bed and won't leave?

[Ali]

See, I rather that because I feel like I would. It's easier for me to, like, get you the fuck out than, like, I hate waking up somewhere else. And I'm like, and now I have to go home and wash my face.

[Paige]

And, like, See, I like being able to be like, bye, bitch, I'm out. Then having to offer awkwardly wake him up, or, like, he's chatting, chatting, chatting, and you're like, I don't.

[Ali]

I do that before. Like, I'm like, okay, this was great. See ya.

[Paige]

Once I was talking to this guy who lived with his parents in Connecticut, and I was unsure if his parents were rich or not, because Connecticut, there's many different towns. Yeah. So I wasn't sure yet. But anyway, he came to the city to, like, hang out, and then we went back to my place, and it was like middle of the day, and then, like, hooked up. And then he just, like, was sitting there, and I was like, I have shit to go. I was. And he was like, I'm just, you know.

[Ali]

And you didn't have a TV in your room. So he wasn't watching tv.

[Paige]

Watching tv. And I literally was like, I'm gonna go to the gym. And I left, went to the gym, came back, he's still there, took a shower, and he was like, I have something in the city. Like, later tonight. Can I just, like, chill?

[Ali]

I wonder if I was ever someone that, like, somebody had to get out, you know?

[Paige]

Like, we've ever, like, wanted to stay anywhere.

[Ali]

No, I really don't think I am. One time I hooked up with a guy. I don't. This has nothing to do with it. I don't know why this just popped into my head. This is so off topic. One time I hooked up with a guy who had no sense of smell.

[Paige]

When did he bring that up in conversation?

[Ali]

The next morning, I was like, oh, my God, I have to brush my teeth. I'm so sorry. And he goes, doesn't matter. I have no sense of smell.

[Paige]

And I was like, what happened?

[Ali]

That was it. I never saw him again, honestly. And it had nothing to do with that.

[Paige]

Actually, I would love to be with that man because I could just fart all the time.

[Ali]

I literally also actually forget his name. This was so long ago. But I don't know why that just popped into my head, because, honestly, that was a time where I was like, okay, I want to go home.

[Paige]

Do you know what's not fun about your 20s? Going to guys places and them having something on TV that you have to watch and pretend you like. I have, like, a lot of memories of, like, hanging out with a bunch of guys who put on, like, the big. See, this is where, like, I don't need to see this again.

[Ali]

Where my nervous, like, narcissist is laughing.

[Paige]

Because he just did that last night with someone. Yeah, he's like. Like, there's so much.

[Ali]

See, we grew up in an era, though, that, like, it was the office for, like, our age group. Like, anywhere you go is like. Like, Someone just put the office on.

[Paige]

They love showing you something they like. And then you have to sit there and be like, because I'm going to be fake.

[Ali]

This is where, like, my. My nervousness narcolepsy comes in play. Like, I can fall asleep.

[Hannah]

I'm like, oh, I just remembered I.

[Ali]

Don'T want to be here.

[Hannah]

I'll fall asleep.

[Paige]

That's you literally severing yourself.

[Ali]

Yeah. And like, I'm done with this. You know, I'm literally off. Do you know how many like, recollections I have of guys being like, are you still awake? And I'm like, no, shut the fuck up.

[Paige]

How many guys disappointed? They're like, she fell asleep at 7pm we didn't do anything.

[Ali]

I was just so comfortable with you. Get the fuck out of my house.

[Paige]

I feel like, yeah, we have to go to, like, places in our mind to remember those, like, weird 20s scenarios.

[Ali]

No, I can't.

[Paige]

But I was lucky where I had a lot of male roommates who were, like, really protective of me. So, like, I don't know, it was. It was harder. Yeah, they would just, like, look out for me. I wasn't like, yeah, how.

[Ali]

Wait, how nice though.

[Paige]

Like, Cory and Dave literally raised me.

[Ali]

Yeah. Like, you never had, like, a moment in your apartment. You're like, oh, my God. Like, you know when you hear something and you're like, is someone gonna try. Is trying to break in? Like, you had two men in your apartment.

[Paige]

I mean, every now and then I'd wake up and they're both fucking passed out on the ground with like, okay.

[Ali]

Well, you're not bottles anymore.

[Paige]

And I'm like, you guys have jobs. And I have to wake them up to make sure they don't get fired. But regardless, they definitely did cockblock a little bit. Because people would think that I'm like, with them, but they would benefit from me because there's that whole. Like, if a girl sees another girl hanging out with guys, it's like, animalistic, where she thinks they're safer. So, like, because I was with them, girls would approach them more guys wouldn't approach me. But think about your interactions. Like, I feel like 89% of the interactions are bad when you go out with men. So, like, I was able or more. And I was able to just, like, have them.

[Ali]

Like, I really don't think, like, men approach girls anymore. Like, I just really don't think they do unless, like, unless someone knows someone, like, that I'm like, sitting with. It's not like some random guy is gonna Come up to me like, that hasn't happened to me in years.

[Paige]

Does like.

[Ali]

I don't know if men do that anymore.

[Paige]

Des has a really good joke where he's like. Like, you used to have to get rejected to your face.

[Ali]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Like, you had to go up.

[Ali]

I would have loved to lived.

[Paige]

Then he's like, you had to get the balls. And then she would tell you her number and you had to remember it and like, repeat it in your head over and over again. Yeah, I'm like, I don't remember what the joke actually was, but something along the lines of, like, you'd ask a girl, like, are you interested? Whatever? And she'd say no. And then you go to her friend and then you just like, go down the line. But. But yeah, guys now, like, it's all about the swiping. Yeah.

[Ali]

Like what? I couldn't tell you the last time in person, someone said, can I have your number?

[Paige]

The only time it happened to me is like, really weird, inappropriate places. Like, I remember I was at like a bookstore and a guy like, was like, can I give you your number?

[Ali]

Is at the grocery store inappropriate?

[Paige]

I could see, like, in their head, they think it's romantic, but it was giving. Like, a guy was just like, walking around the bookstore, like, going up to women, being like, can I have your number? And I'm like, I. I don't want to be here.

[Ali]

Yeah, I don't know if you could actually approach me anywhere and me be like, yeah, sure, you can have my number.

[Paige]

Any guy who's ever, like, just asked for my number. It's been a problem. It's been a police report's been made.

[Ali]

Okay, so then I'll just decline.

[Paige]

I think it's more like a guy starts up a conversation.

[Ali]

I'd like to meet someone that lives in my building so I don't have to go anywhere. But everyone in my building is 104, which actually seems nice.

[Paige]

Which actually could work out. Open minded. Yeah, stay open minded. The only thing I'll give the Gigglers to watch on, I believe it's hbo. There's this case about Karen Reid, which is about a girl who was dating a police officer in Boston. And she was drunk and they got into like, a little bit of a fight because he. They're going to afterparty. He went into the after party to meet all his cop friends, and she was like, waiting on him and he, like, wasn't responding to her, so she got pissed off and just left. And the next day it's reported that he's found dead in the snow. And immediately they said that she hit him with her car. And she was like, was I drunk? Like, I'm pretty sure he was not there. I don't know where this coming from. And then they're trying to lean in to be like, what was it? The cops trying to frame her.

[Ali]

Oh my God.

[Paige]

So anyway, I don't know what happens. I'm in the middle of it, but it's pretty intense.

[Ali]

Can I tell you that this is my favorite picture of you ever?

[Paige]

Oh my God. Thank you. That's really great to put on an audio podcast. That was really helpful. Shout Out. Our book is like out coming out, you guys. It's happening. Like if you have I like flipped.
