Paige DeSorbo
Sup gigglers? Gary, fix your wi fi manifest that we can't be managed. I mean the day just got away from me. Okay, I have to make an apology and I literally was saying what's up my Met Gigglers? Obviously it's the Giggly Gala instead of Met Giggler. I should have said.
Mitchell
Sorry, there's no context. Sorry. I just got so scared. When was the Met?
Paige DeSorbo
I think it was last.
Mitchell
Have we not recorded since? No, no.
Paige DeSorbo
The last time we spoke to the Gigglers was the Morning of the Met. But, like, it's been so long that the Met's not even in the news cycle anymore. Because, like, it was last year.
Mitchell
I was just gonna say, isn't our culture crazy? Like, that's. I'm like, that was two years ago.
Paige DeSorbo
And that's why when you're ever down, remember that nothing matters. And no one will remember, including yourself.
Mitchell
No one cares.
Paige DeSorbo
No one cares.
Mitchell
No one cares. Okay, wait. Actually, I do have one thing to say about the Met Gala.
Paige DeSorbo
But I do actually have a strong opinion about one thing.
Mitchell
Let's circle back for, like, two seconds.
Paige DeSorbo
What is your gripe?
Mitchell
Not a gripe. I. This is. This is so embarrassing to admit. The morning after the Met Gala, I'm in glam for something I can't even. It's literally last year. How can I remember? And I'm talking to Mitchell and Taylor, and we're talking about, like, what, who we liked, who we didn't like. And I said, did you guys see Katy Perry? And they're like, oh, my God, we didn't see Katy Perry. And I'm like, you. So I showed them the picture, and they're like, a fabulous, stunning. I can't believe I didn't see it. And I was like, the coverage was weird this year. Like, it just randomly, like, shut up. We're having a whole conversation. About five hours later, I'm back home from my apartment. Literally God knows what I was doing. I. I can't for the life of me think of what it was, but whatever. It was an AI photo of Katy Perry that I complete. That, like, the Internet fell for. It's like, the second year in a row, except Best Dressed.
Paige DeSorbo
Best dressed. Wait. Katy Perry keeps having moments that could get her out of a rut. Like this AI going viral. Also, in the future, celebrities only have to go to the red carpet, save all the glam and styling, and just get an AI to do it.
Mitchell
Well, it was actually scary. I was like, okay, so we can really actually just do everything from our home. Like, no one has to go anywhere.
Paige DeSorbo
This is.
Hannah Berner
This is the best dress.
Mitchell
This was the best dress I saw all night. Wasn't even real.
Paige DeSorbo
Well, Katy Perry also her song in. You're like an Indian summer in the middle of a winter. That's trending on Tik Tok. But she's mad. She thinks people are making fun of her. But we're not.
Mitchell
I haven't listened to a Katy Perry song in, like, okay years.
Paige DeSorbo
Everyone just has to know, if you're not watching this on YouTube. Paige just pulled out a face roller out of nowhere. Like the biggest face roller you've ever seen. Casually just pulled it out of who knows where and is rolling her face. See, when I talk, Page does skincare.
Mitchell
You take years off my life. And I literally am trying to reverse it at any chance I can get. Here's the thing. I love when we record in person, I love the clips. The energy is different. The pod is different.
Paige DeSorbo
Yes.
Mitchell
There are times where we have to record virtually, which is crazy. Crazy because this is all we used to do, which is so. Dare I say.
Paige DeSorbo
My mom said she actually likes when we record on Zoom because it reminds her of Instagram Live days, which is so nostalgic and beautiful.
Mitchell
Here's another reason why I like recording virtually. We're the Katy Berry of.
Paige DeSorbo
Can we AI us in the studio?
Mitchell
I have all my things at home.
Paige DeSorbo
We need.
Mitchell
Here's what we need to get a handle on, and we're gonna do it. We are really. We're gonna get a handle on it this summer.
Paige DeSorbo
By the way, if you don't know this, Paige has the biggest apartment in America. Somehow I convinced her to record the pod at my apartment.
Mitchell
Yeah.
Paige DeSorbo
And I don't know how that happened, but I slid through. But we are.
Mitchell
I, like, don't mind it, though.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah. Because it's like going to Europe. You come downtown.
Mitchell
Yeah. No, it's. Honestly, I have to get out. You know, I have to get out of the house. We're gonna figure out, like, our recording situation and the vibe and the esthetic and all of that. But I like, virtually, because I have all my things here. Like, I made my coffee. I have my Stanley. I have an ice roller. Like, I. I put some road barrier cream on prior to this.
Paige DeSorbo
You know, you could put that in your rider when you come over. We could get Chris to do it. Chris needs to work more.
Mitchell
I'm gonna stock your refrigerator with my stuff. I think I'll just do an instacart order. Okay. But actually, let me. Sorry. We don't need to get into these logistics.
Paige DeSorbo
The housekeeping is unnecessary.
Mitchell
It's unnecessary.
Paige DeSorbo
The admin is too much for all the gigglers. It's too much on a Monday.
Mitchell
We're recording virtually because I.
Paige DeSorbo
We're recording in retro. That wasn't even funny. Again, can you tell them about what's going on with what you're like?
Mitchell
Yeah, okay. That's why we're recording virtually, because I just, like, I couldn't. I couldn't think about putting pants on.
Paige DeSorbo
We had it fully set up, though. 6pm Coming to record. Chris was all set up. Then you text me, I don't feel well. So if I say something to you, that's illegal, right? Because it's a woman who and her eggs.
Mitchell
So it's considered like, if you're like, no, you have to show up. It's like, okay, wow. So we don't give paid maternity leave.
Paige DeSorbo
It's maternity abuse, actually. So Paige has been going around acting like she's pregnant. And not only cosplaying a pregnant woman, she's sending me photos going, how cute do I look? Because she's slightly bloated after getting her eggs removed. When I say slightly bloated, I mean she looks like me after a first bite of a chicken sandwich.
Mitchell
I literally knew you were going to say that. I knew you're going to text me back and be like, okay, cool me when I wake up. Like, what are you talking about? I'm so pregnant. I'm so bloated. It's so cosmic energy that I froze my eggs on Mother's Day weekend. I was like, I'm. I felt maternal.
Paige DeSorbo
That is adorable.
Mitchell
You want to know why I felt maternal? And this is how I knew. Walking down the streets of New York City, I was like, if anyone steps to me right now with my eggs just brewing, ready to be taken out, I'll cut some.
Paige DeSorbo
You go, I am a mother. You're going on the subway and just being like, excuse me, can I sit? I'm pregnant.
Mitchell
I'm like, literally, no chivalry. Okay, let me just talk about my egg freezing journey for a quick second. Because I did my retrieval this past weekend. I go. I went to first. Let me say the company name, which I feel like I haven't even said, which I'm so stupid. It's called Extend fertility. It's on 57th street if you live in New York City. My doctor's name was Dr. Klein. He was amazing. He literally. I felt smarter after being, like, around him. He just. Every time he said, good, Good question to me, I was like, no, I'm a good student. Okay, so on Wednesday. Oh, we also have to talk about meeting Anna Wintour.
Paige DeSorbo
Oh, my God.
Mitchell
That was a year ago.
Paige DeSorbo
I was getting your eggs out of the way. You're a mother.
Mitchell
Let's get my eggs out of the way. I did my trigger shot Wednesday night. I went in for my egg retrieval on Friday morning. It's literally like 20 minutes, which is just so crazy.
Paige DeSorbo
Did you have any anxiety?
Mitchell
Cuz, you know, like, I Had no anxiety.
Paige DeSorbo
Like, you're like, okay, and like, poking.
Mitchell
And crying and you get put under. And so everyone was like, oh, my God, you're so, so nervous to get put under. I. I don't know why. Talk about being dulu. I literally didn't think about it for a second. They're like, it feels like you had a two hour nap. I'm like, yeah, shoot me up. Like, what are we waiting for? Go. I couldn't have been less nervous for that part. I was like, this is my favorite.
Paige DeSorbo
Hobby because we just dropped the newest episode of Hannah Page. Try new things. And we're starting aggressive with this because it's your Denver episode.
Mitchell
Yeah.
Paige DeSorbo
It's literally you and me trying to distract you all day from the inevitable. The universe. You were gonna have a panty attack, and the universe was gonna make sure it happened no matter what you did, no matter how much IVs or PET. PET therapy we did. And it shows cameras go down, and then it shows the morning after, but cameras went down. But it's crazy seeing you in that headspace and then talking to you now, like, who is that girl?
Mitchell
Yeah, I wasn't nervous at all. I don't know if it's a combination of, like, you're not in a hospital doing a procedure. Like, you're. You're in a doctor's office. But it's like, you know, whatever. So I. My mom came down with me. They retrieved a total of 28 eggs. And then they call you, like, the more next morning to see how many matured. So they took out 28. I only had 13 survive, so I have 13.
Paige DeSorbo
How do they die?
Mitchell
They were like, they like, don't mature.
Paige DeSorbo
They're like, no, thank you. It's bad, actually, not to, like, just to understand relatively.
Mitchell
Yeah.
Paige DeSorbo
Is that like a good amount of eggs?
Mitchell
That's a. A really good amount of. Of eggs. I now I could choose to do another round if I want to, or I could, like, stick with that number. I haven't, like, fully decided if I do another round. I would do it in the fall. I need to, like, give my body a break.
Paige DeSorbo
She's like, if I'm gonna have a football team, I need more eggs.
Mitchell
Well, like, I. Obviously, I'm like, asking ChatGPT everything. I'm like, okay, is 13 eggs? Like, is that. And they're like, you know, you could get one child from that you could possibly get. It's just like all the things, but the place I'm doing it at truly, like, answers every single question. I have my follow up appointment this week to, like, ask all those questions, but I'm very proud of myself for, like, doing the whole process. The one thing I'll say about it, it's harder than you think it's gonna be. And it's also way easier than you think it's gonna be.
Paige DeSorbo
That's what they say about motherhood in general.
Mitchell
Yeah, like, every. I underestimated how good I was gonna be at the shots. Like, the sh. I was most nervous for doing the shots to myself. And that was, like, kind of a breeze. What I underestimated was after the egg retrieval, Like, I've been bloated now for, like, I'm on my fourth day, my boobs are killing me. And then I like, remind myself I'm like, okay, my body went through, like, a trauma, like, experience. I have to give myself some grace and just, like, rest and chill. It feel. After you get it done, it feels like you just have your period. Like, you have, like, cramping. Like, you have your period when you walk. You're just like, very aware of your ovaries. Almost like, God, I can't explain it. It's just like, you know when you're like, your periods, like, about to drop and you're just like, oh, yeah, I can, like, feel it. That's how it feels.
Paige DeSorbo
Like a really long callback. The OG gigglers would get it. How are your hormones?
Mitchell
Okay, so obviously last week I'm like, flying high. I'm.
Paige DeSorbo
Yes, you.
Mitchell
And like, I love being a woman is so empowering and so age.
Paige DeSorbo
She was in the best mood. She was telling everyone, like, maybe I was lacking estrogen. And now I'm at the perfect level.
Mitchell
I. I really, I still believe that. I think I'm low on estrogen at base level this week. Okay. On the fourth day, which is tomorrow of Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Tomorrow will be my fourth day post surgery is now when my hormones are about to drastically drop.
Paige DeSorbo
Oh, no.
Mitchell
Because now I have it. I'm. Now it's a full week where I, like, haven't been giving myself shots.
Paige DeSorbo
So you're gonna, like, punch a wall.
Mitchell
I'm definitely, like, a little bit emotional for me. Okay, so, like, okay, here's an example. Last night I was on TikTok and I'm just, like, scrolling and I kept getting people's weddings that, like, a parent died or, like, a grandparent died and like, how they, like, they, like, incorporate them into their wedding.
Paige DeSorbo
No, no. How can you get on that?
Mitchell
And I'm like, wait, why am I Crying about Hannah's dead grandpa.
Paige DeSorbo
We. My grandpa came through. Also, if anyone heard from what the psychic said is that, like, motherhood is a big thing for you. So there's a lot of. A lot of feelings.
Mitchell
Very like, serendipitous that I did it over Mother's Day weekend. I feel. I just feel like, less. I truly do feel, like, less pressure. It's like, okay. And even if I only have one child, that is like, what is meant for the world, you know?
Paige DeSorbo
And I have them two follow up questions. And not to get in the weeds, but because you. You have pcos. Were you.
Mitchell
I don't even know if I do.
Paige DeSorbo
Oh, wait, did I make that up?
Mitchell
No.
Paige DeSorbo
I've been literally telling everyone. I, like, lose, like, pages PC. The thing was, you're the spokesperson of PCOS now.
Mitchell
Literally. I did have one doctor tell me I have it. Then I've had another doctor tell me I don't. Which I've learned anything about it from talking to the other girls. It is, like, extremely hard to diagnose. And the same thing happens to them. I really don't think I have it because I feel like they would have seen in all these ultrasounds, like, if I had any cysts.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah.
Mitchell
And my levels. Oh, here was the other thing. Because, remember, I was, like, supposed to have to. I was gonna have to go on birth control. Like, prior to doing the shots.
Paige DeSorbo
Yes.
Mitchell
They tested my blood and whatever and they said my levels were normal, as if I had had a period, so I could just start with the shot. So I never had to do the birth control, which is weird too. So I'm like, okay, so then why didn't I bleed?
Paige DeSorbo
Maybe you've conned the system.
Mitchell
The female body.
Paige DeSorbo
No.
Mitchell
Incredible.
Paige DeSorbo
Incredible. And it's so incredible that male doctors were like, we're just not gonna figure it out.
Mitchell
Here's another thing I've learned. It's a lot more emotional than I thought. Like, once I had the retrieval, like, it did kind of hit me where I was like, oh, my God, I'm making decisions for my life. In 10 years, a man could never. A man could literally never. Then after, as I'm in, like, recovery, like, I would say peak, kind of like hurting and bloat was like two days. I think, like, my boobs being sensitive is, like, peak right now. I cannot. To all of the women who have had one child, two children, three, five. I don't know how they're doing it. I don't know how their bodies are recovering. The women that have to do multiple rounds of ivf because essentially I did, like, the first part of it. Like, they have to get the eggs out and then, like, do the embryos get it put back inside of them? Like, that's a whole different process. The women that you hear there, where they're like, we did four rounds. How. How did their body. I don't know how the female body does it. And everything you feel like is just so tender. And you're like, I grow human life. Like, the fact that women aren't these, like, seen as these goddesses in society. I don't get it. Our bodies are capable of alien behavior.
Paige DeSorbo
This is a matriarchy.
Mitchell
It's crazy.
Paige DeSorbo
And after all that.
Mitchell
Sorry. That I have a Mason jar with my cold brew. This is so millennial. I look.
Paige DeSorbo
No, you're so millennial. Pinterest, Barn marriage.
Mitchell
Look at my. The picture behind me. Millennial.
Paige DeSorbo
And then you have a headband on. Is that millennial?
Mitchell
Oh, my God. I mean, probably at this point.
Paige DeSorbo
Probably at this point, we can't help it. Even though identify as Gen Z. No. I'm so, so proud of you. And yeah, it is just like, crazy. We're kind of growing up.
Mitchell
No, it's crazy. And here's the other thing. I. The typical round for shots is like, anywhere from 10 to 14. I only did seven days of shots because my body was just, like, moving faster than average. I'm like, literally in no other situation in my life. I'm like, well, this is definitely a verse. I'm not sure.
Paige DeSorbo
Oh, my God.
Mitchell
So that's the only reason that I'm like, if I decide to do another round in the fall, it really was just like a week out of my life to do those shots, and now I'm just recovering.
Paige DeSorbo
This segment is presented by Mattress Firm and Acast Creative. I want to talk about sleep because.
Mitchell
This is basically a sleep podcast.
Paige DeSorbo
The only thing we're specialists at is sleeping. Paige, what do you do to have the best sleep of your life?
Mitchell
I do so many things before bed. Like, Like, I need hours before bed. I have so many self care things. My new thing is not sleeping with my phone physically in my bed, but on my nightside table.
Paige DeSorbo
You used to fall asleep when we were roommates holding it. Holding the.
Mitchell
Like, you'd be like, I'd like, look at it.
Paige DeSorbo
You'd be like mid yelling at your boyfriend.
Mitchell
Like, I'm working on Chinese markets. You know, like, I need to have my phone all the time. I do a lot of self care things. But here's my number one thing. And it would not be possible without my mattress for a mattress. My adjustable base bed. I love it.
Paige DeSorbo
Look at me. My mattress for a mattress changed my life. It saved my marriage. The one thing you should invest in in life is your mattress.
Mitchell
My mattress for a mattress. I'm gonna even go a step further and say that it may make me not get married. Cause I'm like, in what world is someone coming in here?
Paige DeSorbo
Cause when you go to bed at night, you go, what do I need? Nothing else. This is perfect.
Mitchell
Okay. I'm a side sleeper.
Paige DeSorbo
Do you put a pillow in between your knees or you're not old enough yet.
Mitchell
I'm not old enough yet.
Paige DeSorbo
Give it a year. Give it a year. You'll get there.
Mitchell
And then sometimes I'm a back sleeper. But then, hey, I might go tummy time for a little bit.
Paige DeSorbo
Do you want to know something chaotic?
Mitchell
Yeah.
Paige DeSorbo
I start on my tummy and I put one leg out.
Mitchell
Yeah.
Paige DeSorbo
You know, in a four. Yes. When one leg is out, like a chicken leg. Do you know that it's gonna be a good night's sleep?
Mitchell
Like, women do that more because.
Paige DeSorbo
To open up their hips. Yeah.
Mitchell
It's something with our hips.
Paige DeSorbo
I have a lot of trauma stored in my hips. That's for another time, but then I'll eventually feel, like, a little uncomfy. So I go side, and then I wake up on my back.
Mitchell
And that's a full turn, a full journey.
Paige DeSorbo
A 360, and you can't catch me. I'm moving. I'm grooving.
Mitchell
A 360, if you will. One thing I did learn about being on tour is that I love my bed at home. And I was taking her for granted. She has so many things that she's capable of doing.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah.
Mitchell
She could run the country. Like, if more people had my mattress, I think there would be less chaos.
Paige DeSorbo
I also think it's important with mattress firm, you can go in and try them all.
Mitchell
Oh. And I did.
Paige DeSorbo
And go, like, take a day.
Mitchell
I actually returned one. Like, I got one, brought her home, tried her out, and said, not for me.
Paige DeSorbo
I love that when I'm on tour. Honestly, I'm so tired from traveling that I just pass out. But, like, I wake up and I don't know where I am.
Mitchell
And I would love my own bed.
Paige DeSorbo
I wish I was with my cat in my bed. And Butter really likes my mattress too. Yeah, you have to make sure your cat likes it.
Mitchell
That's true. That's a big, really important thank you for listening to this special segment brought to you in partnership with Mattress Firm and Acast Creative.

This is a perfect transition because you've been like, you're in your mother era. And you also posted on Instagram that you are a bridal influencer accidentally. Why do you think? Look at this full interview. I'm Barbara Waltering. You. But, like, you have been wearing, like, why are you wearing the cutest bridal fits? But just, like, it's kind of empowering, like, just because you want to. You're like, this is a good fit.
Mitchell
Froze my eggs. You're like, no, truly, nothing behind it other than, like, when it gets above the temperature of, like, 60, 65 in New York. I'm like, we're all wearing white.
Paige DeSorbo
Also, like, you got a good spray tan. We're wearing white.
Mitchell
We're wearing, like, ivory. It's winter is over. I've switched from black to white.
Paige DeSorbo
Clutch my pearls. We're simple girls. Ooh, that rhymed. So you wore one of your beautiful white outfits to. We got invited to a dinner. Thank you. Thank you for having us, Mrs. Nast. You nasty little Nast. The new front dinner, which we didn't know what it was, and it was at the New York Public Library. Fun little storage. What.
Mitchell
Not to, like, keep on theme of, like, my wedding.
Paige DeSorbo
I know what you're going to say.
Mitchell
But, like, all my life I'm like, I'm. I'm not. All my life, honestly, in the beginning of my life, I was like, I'm having a huge New York City city wedding. And in the past 10 years, I'm like, no, I'm getting married in Italy. I might be back to, like, I'm having a massive New York City wedding. Now that's millennial. And I don't care.
Paige DeSorbo
At the New York Public Library, which is so funny because you can't read.
Mitchell
But as a New York Times best selling author.
Hannah Berner
Oh, my God, Hannah, listen to what.
Mitchell
Happened on Mother's Day weekend. I'm. I'm with my family, as one does, and my dad says the word irregardless, and I go, well, that's not a word. And him and my brother both gang up on me, and they go, it absolutely is a word. I've said irregardless. I'm like, doesn't matter how long you've.
Paige DeSorbo
Said it, even if it is a word. Don't say that word. Don't say that word.
Mitchell
I go, as a New York Times bestselling author three weeks in a row, I know that that's not a word. And I honestly was going out there, going out on a limp, it's not. It is a word, but it's not considered, like, proper English.
Paige DeSorbo
It's a mansplainy word. It's like a word a man uses when he's running out of words and, like, wants to sound better than you.
Mitchell
I was like, oh, my God, I'm a Rhodes scholar.
Paige DeSorbo
So we get to New York Public Library. Gorgeous, but, like, a bazillion steps. I get dropped off right in front, and I'm no Hannah.
Mitchell
I almost.
Paige DeSorbo
I don't know where to go.
Mitchell
I almost passed out on the stairs. And I kept trying to make jokes to everyone. Like, wow, a lot of stairs. Like, I'm out of breath. And no one was like. I was like, oh, okay. You guys are all this in shape. Oh, okay, sorry.
Paige DeSorbo
And everywhere you turn, there'd be more steps. But as I. When I first walked up, I didn't know where to go. And I look up and I see a girl who played on the tennis team with me at Wisconsin. And I'm like, full glam. Like, full fancied out.
Mitchell
Like, she's at the event.
Paige DeSorbo
No, she just standing outside. She, like, she, like, lives in New York and was walking like, New York is such a small.
Mitchell
So crazy. And wait, here's another one more thing about the stairs. You know how you were walking up the stairs. And they were like. There were, like, hot young men, like, on each staircase step, like, to, like, help you, or they were like ushers or something. As I'm walking up the steps, I felt like I had to give a bit, like, each one.
Paige DeSorbo
And I don't know, like, not to.
Mitchell
Interact, but I'm like, anybody ever fall, like, no.
Paige DeSorbo
You've become the, like, creepy uncle at a party. Like, she's the waitress and is like, we hated, like.
Anna Wintour
Well, no.
Paige DeSorbo
We are at the point where male models are too young for us. Why are they all 22? Where's your facial hair?
Mitchell
Oh, my God. No, it's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. Going out in New York City situations and it be like, oh, I would be considered a cougar talking to that man.
Paige DeSorbo
But this is the problem with me. I think I'm Gen Z. And when I say, I think I know I'm Gen Z, and I'm, like, fully delusional where, like, someone's talking to me and I'm like, they think I'm 25. And then every now and then, someone would be like, you know, someone our age. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, that's so true. Or, like, I look the same.
Mitchell
Wait, here's the. Here's another thing, another territory that, like, the girls aren't talking about, and I need to bring it up.
Paige DeSorbo
You say territory?
Mitchell
Yeah, territory.
Paige DeSorbo
Territory. Give it to me. What's the territory?
Mitchell
Are you ever in a situation where you're assuming that someone is way. Not way older than you, but, like, older than you, and then you realize. And then you almost, like, offend them because they're like, well, we're like, the same age. And you're kind of like, well.
Paige DeSorbo
You.
Mitchell
Don'T mean it on purpose. Like, because I'm like, oh, I like, legitimately thought that, like, you wouldn't have remembered, like, wouldn't know what I'm talking about because, like, we're not the same age. It's just. Here's the thing.
Paige DeSorbo
It.
Mitchell
We've. We've hit an age where it's murky.
Paige DeSorbo
It's. I was about. It's murky 3233, which is us.
Mitchell
It's.
Paige DeSorbo
You can pass as, like, 26, but you also, in a certain light, can pass later. And then I was meeting with someone today who's older but, like, I don't know how much older, but, like, not that much older. And I was making fun of my husband. I was like, he's old. He's tired. And she's like, okay, okay, watch. How old is he? And I was like 49. And she was like, okay, don't call him tired.
Mitchell
Yeah, see?
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah.
Mitchell
You'Re like.
Paige DeSorbo
I was like. I was making fun of a man. You're perfect.
Mitchell
You.
Paige DeSorbo
Then this is. Okay, this is where the age stuff also annoys me. I don't like when people tell me I look like I'm 26. Oh, I hate that.
Mitchell
Here's the difference. I love it.
Paige DeSorbo
No, cuz that means I'm of the age where people think they're complimenting me by telling me I look that. Like I'm 26. Like, do I look young? No, I just am young. The Italian blood is strong and the olive oil, as Jennifer Lopez would say, is keeping us young. However, I, as you know me, I love something that makes me look old. I love a gray. I love.
Mitchell
You've been trying.
Paige DeSorbo
I love a wrinkle because it shows that I've seen some shit and I've been through some. And don't try me because I'm like, I'm a survivor.
Mitchell
I'm. I'm more Vain than you are 100 like you. Okay, that was. Wow.
Paige DeSorbo
No, because you take care of yourself.
Mitchell
Nothing in life is a hundred percent.
Paige DeSorbo
When you start fighting. 72. No, like you. You take care of yourself.
Mitchell
Well, you're. But you're so good at, like, you don't even look. You don't.
Paige DeSorbo
That's the thing.
Mitchell
You don't. You don't even look in the mirror.
Paige DeSorbo
If you don't look in the mirror, you have nothing to be upset about.
Mitchell
Yeah, like you, like, rarely. I feel like you. You're really good at not judging yourself physically.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah, Physically, emotionally, it's. It's not good.
Mitchell
Okay.
Paige DeSorbo
It's really bad. Well, you know what it is? It's like when I'm sitting and I'm in my thoughts, you know, fighting the imaginary fights. That's like you standing in front of the mirror and dissecting yourself. It's the same.
Mitchell
Yeah. When I'm at a hard time, when I'm in a hard time, I immediately go to like, what can I change about my appearance?
Paige DeSorbo
Yes. That's why you're doing skincare right now.
Mitchell
Yeah, that's why I'm like, chat. GPT. What's my glow up before Memorial Day weekend?
Paige DeSorbo
Yes. You think external factors help your internal. Which sometimes do. Wait, I'm feeling a mental health. Feeling a mental health. Mama. Come on, let's. Okay, first of all, did you know that an octopus holds grudges.
Mitchell
I love that. That's why they're an Italian delicacy. That's why you can have them fried. That's why you can also have them not fried.
Paige DeSorbo
You can have them Mediterranean salad, olive oil, lemon prou. Whatever you need. That was just a side note, but anyway, as someone who deals with anxiety and depression, shout out. If you listen to this pod, you probably do too. It's just algorithmic. Sorry about that. I always have been trying to tell myself, like, do not believe all your thoughts. Right. What are you looking for? Yeah, are you looking for it?
Mitchell
I could see if I had a charger, but I.
Hannah Berner
You always know when I'm looking for.
Mitchell
Something, and I do, and I didn't want to bend my eyes.
Paige DeSorbo
You're like, I'm looking for that eye cream. We're the second phase of the skincare. She's like, where's my. Yeah. So the whole concept of, like, not believing your thoughts really helped me through a lot of things, but recently I've actually been kind of forgot about it. You know when you, like, forget something you learned? So I have been listening to my thoughts too much. Yeah. I listen to my thoughts and then people are like, they're not all real. But you're like, well, some of this could be, like, me warning myself, like, something's coming. Like, I need to attach to this thought and figure it out to make sure it's legit or not. But by that time, you're already spiraling. So what I learned is your subconscious thoughts are not real. And I love that you're like, oh, my God, I have to listen to my gut. That's not your subconscious thoughts. If you have to think something, you will consciously think it and you will figure it out. But if you just get a thought, arise out of nowhere, don't chase it, don't analyze it. And I was on some weird, like, Kora thread. Thread. Don't ask why. I was in a dark place. And this guy said, it's healthy to, like, wow.
Mitchell
That's when I'm like. That's when I'm deep in. Like, I have some type of ailment. I'm like, and if you pee and it's a different color and if your is secreting what?
Paige DeSorbo
So this guy Quora said. And you can't even comment. You can't even click on Quora. Anyway, who even has a Quora account anyway? No one's ever had a core account. Yeah, but he basically said, when you have a thought and you're like, oh, I should latch onto this. I should figure it out. That, no, it's what the thought wants. Instead, label it. And he labels it a brain fart. Now that.
Mitchell
That really speaks to you?
Paige DeSorbo
That speaks to me, because not only am I labeling it, but I'm making myself giggle. So I get a. Let's say I get a. I'm gonna give you guys an example. What's a good. I get a thought, oh, my God. I'm gonna embarrass myself playing tennis next weekend. I'm not gonna do. Well, now you have two things you could do. You could go into it and be like, oh, yeah, what'll happen? How do I prevent myself from playing bad? And next thing you know, you're in deep. You're swimming with the sharks. Or I go, that was a subconscious, weird thought. Instead of going, don't think that thought. Don't think it. You're still thinking about it. Just go, brain fart, Period. Brain fart. Ill brain fart. Bye.
Mitchell
Okay, this is so interesting because I saw a TikTok this week that I was like, I can't wait to say this to Hannah, because it's all about, like, your inner voice to yourself. There was a TikTok, and it was like, in your mind, scream your name. Now in your mind, whisper your name. And, like, it's different. And it. Did you do it?
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah. Did it?
Mitchell
And then it. And then the video was like, see how you can tell that voice what to do? Like, you just have to be more conscious of that throughout the day. Like, you just told your voice to, like, yell, then whisper. You can actually, like, tell them other thoughts?
Paige DeSorbo
Yes.
Mitchell
Like, and I just thought that that was so. Yeah, like, you're in charge.
Paige DeSorbo
I feel like your. Your brain is basically like your own chat GBT that's, like, kind of gone rogue. Like, it has all the information on you, and then it starts, like, spouting out.
Mitchell
Should I. Yeah. Should I go dive deeper into that? And it's like, I didn't ask you to.
Paige DeSorbo
No, literally, it'll be like, do you remember this one memory when you were a kid and that was really upsetting to you, and you're like, why are you bringing that up? Why you bring that up?
Mitchell
Speaking of, like, mental health, can we talk about Molly Mae?
Paige DeSorbo
Oh, Molly.
Mitchell
My sweet, sweet girl.
Paige DeSorbo
My sweet, sweet girl. So Molly may second season came out. I'm only one episode into the second season. She's going through it, which we love.
Mitchell
She's, like, absolutely going through it. She's, like, completely Back with Tommy. And it's such like, this is such a. Yeah, like, like on Instagram, they're like back.
Paige DeSorbo
Oh on Instagram right now. But like starting the second season, there's still like, honestly you could just. She's just broken.
Mitchell
It's kind of soft launched. It's soft launched it that like they're gonna get back together and they made.
Paige DeSorbo
Out in New York in not New York City at New Year's.
Mitchell
And if you've ever like been Molly Mae or been friends with a Molly Mae, which I feel like I've been in both situations. It is so hard to like watch your friend go through that. And it's so hard to be her because you're like, okay, well if obviously all my friends want me happy and if I'm happy by getting back together with him, like, why aren't they happy for me? And I feel like she's like kind of going through like that type of thing where I. Obviously I'm not friends with Molly Mae in real life, but I'm like, if it makes you happy to be his girlfriend again, I love it for you.
Paige DeSorbo
Like I agree with you in that you can't make someone do anything. Because if she in her heart of hearts feels like there's more to this relationship with her and Tommy, she will never move on from it. She'll always be like, what if, what if, what if? It's. It's more like sometimes as a friend I realize you have to let them up. Like let them.
Mitchell
And you have to let people do thing on their own time schedule.
Paige DeSorbo
Also, also, let's give her some empathy that like she has a child with this man. It's not like this random like DJ that like keeps cheating on her and she for no reason keeps him in his one bedroom apartment. This got specific. But like it's. She's has a family with this guy and she had a dream of what her life would be like. Honestly, I wonder if she's in her Saturn return. That's what it's giving.
Mitchell
Oh my God. I. I'm in my. You know what else you can do on chat sheet pt, which I feel like people don't know about astrology. You can do like all your astrology.
Paige DeSorbo
Oh my God.
Mitchell
And I just like ended like a seven year cycle.
Paige DeSorbo
Wait. First of all, congratulations. Second, thank you. You could also do a color chart thing.
Mitchell
What? What do you mean?
Paige DeSorbo
You can ask them for your colors. Like am I a summer winter?
Mitchell
And I'm doing that tonight.
Paige DeSorbo
But also, we do not want anyone to be out of work because of this. So contact your Instagram color chart analysis person.
Mitchell
Yeah. Contact your local astrologer and your local.
Paige DeSorbo
Astrologer, because it's not gonna hit the same. And it's about how people actually analyze it from a human way.
Mitchell
You're so right.
Paige DeSorbo
Thank you. No, period. I do have to say, though, it was kind of crazy. The scene where she was, like, went to the l' Oreal Paris thing and didn't want to walk the Runway. No, I know. And she just kept. She just kept going, how pretty is Kendall Jenner? How pretty is Kendall Jenner? That's the. That, like, I don't understand. And one, it's because I'm delusional. But two, I'm just like, you. Are you like.
Mitchell
Yeah, I'm like you.
Paige DeSorbo
And you're so.
Mitchell
I'm like, wait, Molly, you're stunning. Like, you're.
Paige DeSorbo
It's like a weird imposter syndrome.
Mitchell
A perfect example, too, is I was watching it with my mom, and my mom has no idea who Molly Mae is, and I'm giving her, like, general background, and I'm like, the only way to describe her is you just want to be her friend. And then, like, one episode in, I'm like, are you obsessed with Molly Mae? And she's like, and she's just the cutest. Like, you just get, like, obsessed with her. I just love her so much. Shoot. What was I just going to say?
Paige DeSorbo
Well, we didn't finish the story about Anne Wintour. Yeah.
Mitchell
But then I was gonna say something, but it'll come back to me.
Paige DeSorbo
So we're struggling up the stairs. We're hitchhiking up these stairs, and we're also wearing, like, very nice clothes. I thought I was gonna get there before you. You said 15 minutes. I was 10 minutes away. I come to the front, and I say, where is. Is Paige of Sorbo here? And they go, yes, she's here. And immediately I panic. I go, oh, no. Paige is alone in a foreign place without me.
Mitchell
Well, I was panicking at that moment, too, that I was an important.
Paige DeSorbo
So this is a huge ballroom. Paige, for some reason, is standing alone at a table, so like a scared little princess. And I have this, like, meet cute moment where I. I'm across the room, and I wait as she's turning. I wait for her to lock eyes with me, and I say, I'm here. And then she starts smiling, and I run up to you. And then we latched, we latched, we latched. We took some photos by the ladder Which I did not have to put my foot on the ladder. That was an insane.
Mitchell
They asked you too.
Paige DeSorbo
They did, but I thought they were. They should have been like.
Mitchell
Yeah, they should have been like. And one picture with it was fine.
Paige DeSorbo
It was a creative. Creative choice that we regret.
Mitchell
I also felt so swollen that night.
Paige DeSorbo
You looked gorgeous, like, fully pregnant.
Mitchell
No, that was my maternity dress. Like, my stomach could not have been more bloated. That was literally like.
Paige DeSorbo
Your maternity style is maybe. It's going to be crazy. It's going to be crazy. You're like, already have Pinterest boards. I know it.
Mitchell
No, I'm really hoping that, like, the peak of my pregnancy is the spring.
Paige DeSorbo
Are you going to show the belly? Like, are you going to do those, like, open button shirts and stuff?
Mitchell
You know what? I don't know. I'm gonna. I'm. It's not gonna be my whole personality, but there will be occasions where it's like, oh, and that's an accessory.
Paige DeSorbo
Yes.
Mitchell
But I'm not gonna do it, like, all the time because, honestly, I think it's like, overdone.
Paige DeSorbo
It's like, we get it. Oh, you're pregnant again this month. You were pregnant last night.
Mitchell
Unless you're Rihanna. Honestly, I don't, like, care. Also, do whatever you want. Literally, do whatever the fuck you want. I don't give a.
Paige DeSorbo
Are you going to do a photo shoot? Yes, but just for yourself.
Mitchell
Yeah, but when has that ever happened?
Paige DeSorbo
Last time we did something just for ourselves. So I don't know.
Mitchell
I mean, I'll definitely do one.
Paige DeSorbo
I think we meet up with Samantha Berry, who is the editor in chief of Glamour now. Let me just say, Editor in chief. What a fucking cool ass title.
Mitchell
I legitimately felt like we were in the movie 13 going on 30, and we accidentally woke up and we were 30 and they're like, and you have to go to this dinner. And we're like, wait, what?
Paige DeSorbo
Because we're with all these people who have, like, actual jobs and we're standing there and so Samantha Berry, I got lucky. Is Irish, knows Des, friends with Des. We're in. I was like, let's. This is great. We're all a big family. So we're chatting with Samantha. You're, you know, doing your thing.
Mitchell
Stunning.
Paige DeSorbo
Stunning. Well, everyone thought she was Lindsay Lohan, which, yeah, I was fine with. I was like, I know, Crazy meeting Lindsay at the New York Public Library. But no, she really.
Mitchell
They really do look similar.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah. And incredible charisma. Just everything. We love you, Samantha. So we're talking and then the corner of my eye, I see a fuck ass Bob. Extremely shiny.
Mitchell
The. The fuck ass Bob.
Paige DeSorbo
The fuck ass Bob. Shiny. And the way she walked was actually levitation. Like, she was. The whole place stood still as she levitated through.
Mitchell
You know, it's crazy to think about Anna Wintour when we, like, don't think about it enough. She's just going to after work dinners. Like she's literally just doing her normal work day. And like, she's like, oh, and tonight.
Hannah Berner
I have like that dinner after work.
Paige DeSorbo
Shout out to Anna Wintour for being on the Grind Met Gala Monday. Who knows what she did to. Then Wednesday at this after work drinks, talking to people. Like, and apparently she's in every meeting. Like, she is not just a face of something. Like she's in the weeds.
Mitchell
I don't know how she does it.
Paige DeSorbo
So she starts coming our way because we're hanging out with an editor in chief. Like, that's editor in chief right there. She starts coming our way.
Mitchell
I remembered what I was gonna say previously, but just keep going.
Paige DeSorbo
The gigglers won. And now I'm stressed that you're gonna forget it again.
Mitchell
No, I'm not gonna.
Paige DeSorbo
So stressed.
Mitchell
No, I'm not gonna.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah, you are. So the. You forgot already. The gigglers are freaking out. They wrote because you posted the photos and they were like, paige, how nervous were you that you've waited your whole life to be in front of Anna Wintour and my big ass mouth was in between you and Anna Wintour and I represent you. We were. We were introduced together that I was gonna say something that would ruin your forever future of going to the Met Gala.
Mitchell
I was so.
Paige DeSorbo
This is.
Mitchell
This was such a top person on my list to, like, meet. Like, this was such a, like, bucket list moment for me that I went, mum. Silence. I couldn't say anything. I couldn't think. I was like, not the time to like, try out a joke. Like, not anything in my head that I thought to say. I was like, not the time. Like. So I kind of just let Samantha talk the most because there was nothing I could do but like, nod and smile.
Paige DeSorbo
So for some reason I was feeling myself.
Mitchell
Yeah, I'm willing as always. We started holding my beer. You. You can't think of anything to say?
Paige DeSorbo
I was fully riffing with Anna Wintour.
Mitchell
She.
Paige DeSorbo
Well, she commented on the stairs and I said, this is my. I'm a huge stair. We've been talk joking about stairs for a while now we have to discuss the stairs.
Mitchell
I'm a stair comedian.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah. I'm a stair comedian. We're laughing, and then, like, Anna Wintour. I think it's also because she's British. She's dry. She's funny. I was like, yeah, she just wants a little laugh. And then I think I said something corny where I was like, you know, thanks for everything you do, or something really general, like, you know, when you just, you know, that you don't know. And world peace. Like, you know, they're great, but you don't know what words to put together. But then I turned, like, what could.
Mitchell
We say to Anna Wintour that hasn't been said about her or to her.
Paige DeSorbo
Like, a thousand percent. I know. She looked at us up and down. She gave us a little.
Mitchell
No, I felt it. I felt it.
Paige DeSorbo
I. I sucked in, and I. And then I was like, I need to bring the comedy here. So she laughs. We made her giggle. We're on cloud nine. I turn to you, and I go, you feel good? And you were like, yeah. And I realized, like, that's if, like, Serena Williams walked up to us. Yeah, I would have shot my pants. You would have been riffing silly, funny. I would have been like, yeah, it.
Mitchell
Would have been, like, adorable, skirt obsessed.
Paige DeSorbo
But no, Anna Wintour is also on my bucket list. Just everything she's accomplished is she's an icon.
Mitchell
It really was crazy. And then I had full speech, like, full mingling, and then I literally scooted out there to give myself a shot at 9:15.
Paige DeSorbo
Conan. I call you out on something you did before that. You are all nervous. You don't know who to be friends with, and I'm standing by you, and I'm holding your hand, and then I haven't, like, felt Paige's energy in a minute. I look over. You've made, like, a best friend in the woman next to you to the point that you were, like, ignoring me. I was like, paige. And you were like, I gave her my number.
Mitchell
We've.
Paige DeSorbo
No, you fell in. I watched you fall in love with this woman to the point that I was like, you're having an affair in front of me.
Mitchell
She texted me, asking me how my egg retrieval went.
Paige DeSorbo
Also, she was. She was pregnant. So Paige was like.
Mitchell
She was right.
Paige DeSorbo
Sorry, the mothers are talking. I was like, okay. So I was fully, like, gonna take care of you the whole time because I was worried for you because you had social anxiety. And then you literally left me to die. And then literally left. And then you were like, oh, I need to take my shot, and. And left. And I was sitting there, like, okay.
Mitchell
What? No, also in that moment, I was like, this is. There are such trade offs of motherhood. I can't imagine. You know? Like, I can't wait to dive into it when the day is right.
Paige DeSorbo
Mm.
Mitchell
You don't even have to Irish exit anymore. You can literally stand up at a table of nine women and say, I'm leaving. It pertains to my children. And they're like, get out of here. Get out of here.
Paige DeSorbo
Lucky you even came.
Mitchell
I literally, yeah, they're like, can't believe you even made it out of the house. You know? So I stood up and I said, guys, I have to give myself a shot in the abdomen. I'm gonna be late. And they're like, go on and prosper.
Paige DeSorbo
I think, like, you're one of my first close, close friends to freeze your eggs. Or at least tell me about it. So I didn't know what, like, the social stigma was, but I was like, really loosey goosey. I think because you had told people. But I realized later, like, maybe you shouldn't. But I was like, oh, Paige is freezing her eggs. And some girl looks at me, I'm like, oh, she's freezing her egg. Like, I told everyone there's no hippa.
Mitchell
Like, between us, but I feel like.
Paige DeSorbo
You wait to see that your friend is like, okay with. With that first. But I felt like you were kind of loving the attention.
Mitchell
No, I was. Again, if there's another thing about motherhood that I've learned, I'm gonna love my baby shower. I, like, I am thinking more about my baby shower than any wedding event, you know? And I was trying to see, like, okay, how am I going to carry? Is my mouth gonna get swollen? And so the day my mom gets to my apartment, I'm. She gets my apartment. Now I'm going the next morning for my egg retrieval. So I'm like, peak bloat. And I. In classic, like, mother fashion, I'm like, this is so adorable. Look at how I'm gonna carry. Just like, so tiny. And she looks at me and she goes, you think like.
Paige DeSorbo
Just like that you need 20 more years of therapy.
Mitchell
Yeah.
Paige DeSorbo
I was like, only a mom could do that. Well, that reminds me of you. You sent me a bloated photo of you, and you had your hand on your lower back like it was hurting.
Mitchell
I'm practicing.
Paige DeSorbo
I'm practicing posing, method acting. You're like, I identify as a pregnant woman cosplaying.
Mitchell
I literally went out to lunch for Mother's Day, and I'm like, I have to wear a low rise. I'm literally like my stomach.
Hannah Berner

Mitchell
Here's what I remembered what I was going to say because we touched on the Bill Belichick of it all. Oh, and Jordan last week.
Paige DeSorbo
What'd she do?
Mitchell
Since then? She's been bail.
Paige DeSorbo
Wait, I love a girl who's been banned. Like, justice for her. Like, I don't even hear what she said.
Mitchell
Think obsessed. She was banned from literally, like, his entire. The entire facility of, like, North Carolina, like, where he works. Like, banned from the whole thing.
Paige DeSorbo
Wait, I didn't even know he worked. I thought he was retired.
Mitchell
He's the coach of North Carolina.
Paige DeSorbo
Oh, I didn't know that. Oops.
Mitchell
And she competed for Miss Miss Maine this past weekend. She got third.
Paige DeSorbo
Oh, wow. So she's busy, too.
Mitchell
She's busy.
Paige DeSorbo
She's like, cool, ban me. I'm busy in Maine. I didn't want to go to your party.
Mitchell
Anyway, she's competing and Bill goes to support her, which we.
Paige DeSorbo
Supportive king.
Mitchell
We love the support of gang. Here's the only thing. He's sitting next to her dad. Who he is. He is older than her dad. And for me, I thought, now this I don't. This I don't appreciate. I did it. I couldn't. Well, I couldn't understand.
Paige DeSorbo
Did you see Jordan's ex is also, like, in the 70s.
Mitchell
No.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah. So it's not like she ran this Is her thing. She has a thing. Which, you know, I'm not gonna yuck.
Mitchell
Someone'S yum yummy neither.
Paige DeSorbo
I do have to say, it's like when someone blocks you on Instagram, you're like, oh, so you're that obsessed with me? That's how it's giving them. Banning her. I'm like, why are you. What did she do? Like, right.
Mitchell
Like, I feel like you have to do a lot of things. You have to do something illegal anywhere.
Paige DeSorbo
I mean, I'm probably. I'm probably banned from Barvacon, but that's.
Mitchell
Like, they have your picture in the back room. They're like, if anyone sees her, take her out immediately. Wait, there's If. Bravo. Here's the thing. One thing I'll say about Bravo. One Bravo should bring back their commercials. Me and Hannah were always pitching, like, Bravo liberties in an office. Like, doing office things that like sports, like the spn old commercials.
Paige DeSorbo
But Teresa Giudice needs a sandwich.
Mitchell
Why? They don't vlog Bravo Con with, like, a certain number of Bravo liberties and just send a camera with them the entire weekend and make it like, the office. Like, they're really missing out on some, like, really funny skits and bits.
Paige DeSorbo
Mm, mm, mm. Look, we're producers. We're producing.
Mitchell
We're literal producers. Sorry. We're creative.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah, sorry. This brain's always moving. Also, you're chugging coffee right now. It's 8pm Are you gonna be able to go to sleep? I'm worried. I'm stressed out now.
Mitchell
I think I.
Paige DeSorbo
It's mental.
Mitchell
I think not being able to sleep after caffeine is literally mental and, like, gaslighting yourself.
Paige DeSorbo
Wait, you're all right.
Mitchell
Jet lag is a social construct.
Paige DeSorbo
Wait. I think I need to move to la, though, because I am, like, I live a good life there. I wake up so late here. I'm struggling. I'm staying up late. I don't. I don't know who she is. I. Oh, also another hot take. And this is going to be cheugy. And this is going to make me sound like an actual mother, but I'm obsessed. We need to stop with the smoking. I was walking home today and I saw two very cute girls smoking cigs. And I was like, oh, hell no. Gen Z. Like, 19.
Mitchell
No way. This is how.
Paige DeSorbo
No, but this is how trends work. Like, we work so hard to stop smoking to the point that it was, like, gone. That now it's, like, become cool again to smoke because they, like, forgot that it was bad. Also, I Love, Addison Rae. I think all her songs slapping. We do not need the Sig to look cool. Stop with the cigarettes and fashion. Stop. And, like, it's. And it's also, like, cosplaying, like, trying, like, give me a prop to try to look cool.
Mitchell
Yeah.
Paige DeSorbo
Instagram photos where people have a Sig style.
Mitchell
Only appropriate place is to smoke a cig is in Europe in the summer, and it has to be a skinny Sig. And you have to be. You have to be drunk or sitting at a small circular table. And that's the only.
Paige DeSorbo
That's just the rules.
Mitchell
And that's just the rules. If you are in the confines of the United States of America. It's not. It's not cigarette time.
Paige DeSorbo
I told you. When I was in high school, my friend was going through a breakup, and she had her dramatic. She took out the cigarettes, and I took it and I threw it away. And she was so mad at me, and I said, I just saved your life.
Mitchell
Also, Jewel, like a normal person in class. You were the kid in class that took dare, like, super serious.
Paige DeSorbo
Well, think I'm not even smoking weed at that point. So then I see a cigarette, and I was like, oh, my God.
Mitchell
How were you when you. When you were, like, post college and you realized everyone did cocaine?
Paige DeSorbo
No one told me about it. Literally, no one told me till, like, last year. They were like, we were coked out. And I was like, what? No one tells me.
Mitchell
You turn 23 and you're like, okay, so toilet paper's crazy expensive cheese is, like. Is a luxury item, and everyone does cocaine. That's insane.
Paige DeSorbo
Wait, Paige, no one offered me cocaine.
Hannah Berner
Stop.
Paige DeSorbo
No one. Hannah, I think I. It's the energy I bring to the function. They think I'm already coked out. They're like, she stole.
Mitchell
She should be offering it to us, honestly.
Paige DeSorbo
So Hannah stole someone's cocaine and doesn't need any more.
Mitchell
The coke went missing, and we're pretty sure it was Hannah.
Paige DeSorbo
Wait, it's giving everyone thought I was already coked out.
Mitchell
Mm.
Paige DeSorbo
Is that a compliment? Shout out to me for getting on Dumois for the first time.
Mitchell
Kind of, like, epic. I literally screenshot to moi this past Sunday and sent it to Hannah, and it was, like, literally sounded like you and Chelsea Handler were, like, on a lesbian dinner date.
Paige DeSorbo
It said, Hannah, Chelsea at the Soho Grand. Hannah was laughing, and they left, like, arm and arm, and I was like the last sentence.
Mitchell
Leaving arm and arm was crazy.
Paige DeSorbo
But the funny thing is, so Chelsea's my new friend, and as we all know Chelsea loves drugs, so I'm battling with myself being like, do I do drugs?
Mitchell
No.
Paige DeSorbo
Talking to my childhood icon because I'm.
Mitchell
She's experienced.
Paige DeSorbo
Well, also, if I do drugs in front of her and it goes bad, I'll never work in this town again.
Mitchell
So which drug would you even try?
Paige DeSorbo
Well, I think they like having fun with, like, mushroom drugs. Yeah. Again, unnecessary, because I think I watched.
Mitchell
She did, like, an episode where she took something and, like. Yeah, I think it was, like, an Ambien.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah. So now I joke with that sleep. I'm like, I'm gonna go do ayahuasca with Chelsea tonight. And he's like, okay, have fun. Like, but my thing is, I'm 33. Best case scenario, I like it. And then I like MDMA, and I become hooked on MDMA. 33.
Mitchell
You're, like, always asking me to go to raves. I'm like, I have a child.
Paige DeSorbo
I discovered dubstep at 33. And I need to go to a Brooklyn Warehouse at 33.
Mitchell
You text me and you're like, any chance you have a neon fanny pack I can borrow? I'm like, no, call your doctor.
Paige DeSorbo
Oh, my God. Yeah, I've just.
Mitchell
Quick question. Do you have high top converse that, like, you don't care about anymore? They may get pain on them. I'm like, stop, Hannah.
Paige DeSorbo
I go, I've started wearing thongs at 33. That's when, you know shit's bad. If I ever started wearing thongs. Call the police.
Mitchell
Oh, gosh.
Paige DeSorbo
One other honorable mention. Everyone's still tagging us in all their books whenever they go to read it. Have you been getting it like morning coffee? Every giggler is in Cancun. I don't know how, but every guru's on vacation.
Mitchell
Yeah, there are some. Some rich gigglers. I'm like, wait a minute. I'm like, do. Do a panorama.
Paige DeSorbo
You guys write a book on how to go on these great vacations. But they've also been tagging their pets, and I just have to say shout out to all the cat moms out there. And I love the dogs too, but the cats have really good names. And I just have to do a shout out to one specific cat with a name that really made me laugh. This one girl's cat's name is Crunchwrap. Ms. Supreme, get over here.
Mitchell
Wait, I'm obsessed.
Paige DeSorbo
Crunchwrap. You know, it's a great cat name.
Mitchell
That, like, when you do get an animal or a pet, you name them a name, and then you literally never say that. Name again. What is with that? You know, like. Yeah, it's rare that I'm like Daphne. You know, I'm like Miss Girl, Miss Kitty, Like Miss L. Lady, you know.
Paige DeSorbo
If you don't change her. If you call your cat by their government name, you. You're not connected to her. Like, you don't love her. But I do have two rules for naming your cat or dog. It has to be either a real person name, like Daphne or Jennifer or Steven. Like, I really think that's funny.
Mitchell
Yeah.
Paige DeSorbo
Or a food name.
Mitchell
Yeah.
Paige DeSorbo
You know, someone recently canol. Cannoli. Oh, my God.
Mitchell
Cute.
Paige DeSorbo
Like, that stuff is like, I love.
Mitchell
Like the name Pickle.
Paige DeSorbo
Pickle Butter crunch Wrap. So anyway, that's just a side note. Cute stuff. Anything else?
Mitchell
I have one last thing to say because I feel like we're always talking about travel and how much like we hate the airport and all this stuff. I keep getting TikTok videos of. I'm obsessed with ballerinas. I love their esthetic, I love their vibe. Like, I want to be in a girl friend group of ballerinas, you know, and I want them to like, low key hate me. Like, I just, like, I'm obsessed with them. I keep getting all these ballerinas in airports doing full out routines. Now usually, like, if I saw that at an airport, I would be like, I'll murder everyone. I'm obsessed. I love it. I love a dancing video when I'm like, nowhere near involved, but I can, like appreciate. Watch it. Yeah, I can appreciate it If I saw two ballerinas doing their thing in the middle of LaGuardia.
Paige DeSorbo
That's. That's the thing. It's not like, you know, when everyone come together, flash mobs. Okay. That was a millennial thing. That was like, actually offensive. Like, that should never have happened.
Mitchell
Like, people, like got engaged in the middle of flash mobs.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah. Like at Costco. Like, it was. No, it's not a flash. And it was really a trend. It was really bad. And a lot of people lost a lot of time off their lives with that. Two ballerinas. That's art.
Mitchell
That's.
Paige DeSorbo
That's like a painting.
Mitchell
That's friends hanging out.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah, that's hang out. That's Fantasia.
Mitchell
No, I want to. Can we please go to the ballet? Like, I've literally never been to the ballet. All I want to do is like, wear a chic. Cool. I feel like going to the ballet in the summer in New York City is like, hello, who are we?
Paige DeSorbo
Wait, I just thought of something to add to our YouTube series. We have to do Hannah and Paige try ballet, please.
Mitchell
Can we. Do you know Josephine takes adult ballet classes?
Paige DeSorbo
This is my question. Do you think you could, like, for a second cosplay and like, for a second, someone will be like, wait, she could be a ballerina.
Mitchell
Cast me in a ballerina ass movie.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah.
Mitchell
I've been preparing for the role my whole life.
Paige DeSorbo
See, that's where, like, when I think I could be a chef or like that. See, ballerina, I'm like, not for a second. Would someone be like, can happen.
Mitchell
No, I think it's because the movie Center Stage came out at, like, a very pivotal moment. And it was like I was like 8 or like 9, where I was like, is this like a sexual awakening? Like, I think it was like, the first time I was like, that's a gay man. Like, like, things like that.
Paige DeSorbo
Yeah.
Mitchell
And I just, like, loved it.
Paige DeSorbo
See, I'm more connected to the 1. The hip hop one with Stephanie.
Mitchell
Channing Tatum. Honey. Jessica Alba.
Paige DeSorbo
No, before that. Julia Stiles.
Mitchell
Save the last dance.
Paige DeSorbo
Save the last dance. That was more me goated. Oh. I also was getting photos taken of myself, and at one point, the lady was clearly trying to tell me that, like, I need to make my. My hands look like, gentler, softer. Softer.
Mitchell
Would you get that a lot?
Paige DeSorbo
And she kept. And I just kept laughing because she kept being like. And let's. Let's relax the fingers. And she. She kept being like. And let's not tense up the arm. And then it's a trick where, like, when you put your. Your leg over the other leg, you don't actually push down. You, like, pretend. And she just kept being like. And we're. We're light as a feather. And I was like, this is not the vibe that I'm gonna give you.
Mitchell
And maybe you don't look like this. You could do something where you look not like you. Differently from you.
Paige DeSorbo
I literally have mini hot dogs for fingers. They're not gonna look like ballerina esque. So.
Mitchell
Right.
Paige DeSorbo
Anyway, everyone, like, I can't be perfect. Sorry.
Mitchell
No, sorry. I can't be perfect. Sorry.
Paige DeSorbo
I can't beat everything for everyone.
Mitchell
Sorry. I can't freeze my eggs. Put them back in my body. Have a babe like. Sorry, Sorry.
Paige DeSorbo
And have gentle fingers and also be.
Mitchell
Soft throughout the day.
Paige DeSorbo
No. The patriarchy wins again. We love you guys so much. Our new episode just aired of. Of episode two of Hannah Page Try new things. So check that out. And we love you guys so much. Thanks for giggling. And to end the app we're playing another audiobook excerpt for you to enjoy from how to Giggle. Available everywhere now. Third week best seller. Let's go.
Gary
I really believe in manifestation, but not like, write this 1000 times in your journal and it will come true kind of manifestation. More like believe so deep in your gut that you are already what you want to be. It's similar to the idea of happiness. You do not have to chase happiness. It's within you. You just have to find it. This is so Brene Brown coded. Let's continue. I like to think of life like it's a single player game and you want to reach new levels of yourself. You can't just go about your day with no goal and expect things to happen. That's like being a quarterback and wanting to win but not having any plays. Let's get some strategy. I always start big and then get smaller. Write down your biggest goal in the world, such as winning an Oscar. Then go backward to each step and write what you need to do to get to that step. To win an Oscar, I need to be in a successful movie. To be in a successful movie, I need to have acted in other movies. To act in movies, I need a casting agent. To get a casting agent, I have to get a following on social media. For acting videos. To get a following on social media, I need to start posting acting videos every day. To post a video every day, I need an acting coach and to write scripts. Okay, now this is something I can.
Paige DeSorbo
Start to do tomorrow.
Gary
If you hear this and rolled your eyes and called me delusional, go back to chapter three because you didn't retain anything. Sorry for yelling. I realized that every successful person had a time when they had to start from the beginning. And manifesting keeps you focused and calm while working toward a goal. I really feel like we are all leaves in the wind. And manifesting gives you direction to put your energy and tell the universe what you want. When you put something into the universe, I don't mean witchcraft. I mean when something is on your mind, you will see more opportunities for it and you will tell people about it. You're planting seeds that can one day grow into your dreams. Farmer girlies unite. When it starts to feel fun and exciting, that means you're in alignment. If you're not having fun, pivot.
Paige DeSorbo
Warning girlies.
Gary
Nothing ever goes according to plan, but trust that you are always moving in the right direction. Keep your eyes wide open and stay on track. Paige's methods.
Mitchell
If you made it this far listening well, then good for you. You are officially a woman in stem. Of course the M stands for manifesting and let's just say I love a TikTok psychic just as much as the next person. But you know me, I have a tough time believing a single thing they say. The way I like to manifest is extremely page coded and it is another excuse for me to make a list. I like to set a five year totally unrealistic goal list. It doesn't have to be long and it doesn't have to be totally attainable. That is the beauty of manifesting. You can make it whatever you want. It all depends on you and how you feel about yourself or whatever. Brene Brown says I use these lists as a guide for things I would like to accomplish professionally and personally. I look at it once a month. When I do come across this list amid the hundreds of other lists on my phone, I fantasize about how it would feel to be living as that version of myself. Now I'm not going to tell you to throw cinnamon through your door on a full moon while Mercury is in the microwave, but I am going to tell you to really, actually fantasize about it. Whenever I'm in the shower, I always feel like I'm at my most creative and think of so many things. But as soon as I'm out of the shower it's like I forgot everything and I'm back to reality. Hot girls have short term memory loss, but that is when I truly manifest what I want.

Release Date: May 13, 2025
Hosts: Hannah Berner & Paige DeSorbo
The episode kicks off with a humorous and nostalgic discussion about the Met Gala, delving into the surreal experience of encountering AI-generated images of celebrities. Paige DeSorbo shares her amusing mishap while attempting to greet her listeners, leading to confusion about the relevance of the Met Gala.
Paige DeSorbo [02:40]:
"The last time we spoke to the Gigglers was the Morning of the Met. But, like, it's been so long that the Met's not even in the news cycle anymore."
Mitchell recounts her experience of showcasing a viral AI-generated Katy Perry photo to friends, highlighting the blurring lines between reality and digital fabrication in modern pop culture.
Mitchell [03:30]:
"It was an AI photo of Katy Perry that I completely missed. The Internet fell for it again, just like the second year in a row, except for Best Dressed."
The conversation evolves into a playful speculation about the future of celebrity appearances, suggesting that AI might take over red carpet glamour, reducing the need for actual physical presence.
Transitioning from pop culture, the hosts discuss the logistics and emotional nuances of recording the podcast virtually versus in person. They express a preference for the energy and spontaneity of face-to-face recordings but acknowledge the challenges that sometimes necessitate virtual setups.
Mitchell [05:41]:
"I love when we record in person; the energy is different, the pod is different."
Paige adds that while virtual recordings can feel nostalgic, especially to older listeners, they miss the personal touch that comes with being physically together.
Paige DeSorbo [06:09]:
"My mom said she actually likes when we record on Zoom because it reminds her of Instagram Live days, which is so nostalgic and beautiful."
They humorously discuss the logistical hurdles of setting up in different locations, ultimately committing to improving their recording situation over the summer.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to Mitchell’s personal experience with egg retrieval and her thoughts on motherhood. She provides an in-depth account of her procedure, emotional state, and the physical aftermath.
Mitchell [08:23]:
"It’s considered like, if you’re like, no, you have to show up. It’s like, okay, wow. So we don’t give paid maternity leave."
Mitchell details the medical process she underwent, including the number of eggs retrieved and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies such a life-changing decision.
Mitchell [09:14]:
"Walking down the streets of New York City, I was like, if anyone steps to me right now with my eggs just brewing, ready to be taken out, I'll cut some."
She candidly discusses the hormonal fluctuations and emotional challenges she faces post-retrieval, emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and understanding.
Mitchell [13:21]:
"The female body is capable of alien behavior. It’s crazy."
The discussion also touches on the complexities of diagnosing PCOS, highlighting the frustrations often faced by women in medical systems.
Mitchell [16:25]:
"It is extremely hard to diagnose. And the same thing happens to them."
Hannah and Paige segue into mental health topics, introducing the concept of “brain farts” — fleeting, often irrational thoughts that can lead to anxiety or spiraling. They explore strategies to manage these intrusive thoughts without giving them undue attention.
Paige DeSorbo [35:31]:
"No, literally, it'll be like, do you remember this one memory when you were a kid and that was really upsetting to you, and you're like, why are you bringing that up?"
Mitchell offers practical advice on labeling these thoughts as "brain farts" to defuse their impact, promoting a lighthearted approach to mental wellness.
Paige DeSorbo [37:25]:
"Brain fart, Period. Brain fart. Ill brain fart. Bye."
They discuss the importance of not overanalyzing every thought and instead acknowledging them without letting them dictate emotional responses.
A standout moment in the episode involves the hosts' memorable encounter with Anna Wintour at the New York Public Library. They humorously narrate their initial nervousness, awkward interactions, and eventual success in making a positive impression.
Paige DeSorbo [46:46]:
"The gigglers are freaking out. They wrote because you posted the photos and they were like, Paige, how nervous were you that you've waited your whole life to be in front of Anna Wintour..."
Mitchell shares her anxiety about the interaction, revealing how they managed to engage with the iconic editor-in-chief and even cracked a joke that left Anna smiling.
Paige DeSorbo [49:48]:
"We made her giggle. We're on cloud nine."
This segment underscores the hosts’ ability to blend humor with personal anecdotes, making their experiences relatable and entertaining.
The podcast also delves into the importance of self-care, particularly focusing on skincare routines as a form of self-love and mental health support. Paige showcases her extensive skincare products, while Mitchell highlights her own regimen.
Mitchell [20:15]:
"My number one thing. And it would not be possible without my mattress for a mattress. I love it."
They emphasize the role of physical self-care in maintaining overall well-being, encouraging listeners to invest time in routines that make them feel good.
A lighthearted discussion ensues around age perception and identity, with both hosts sharing their frustrations and humorous insights about how they are perceived by others.
Paige DeSorbo [31:19]:
"I was like, what? No, don't call him tired."
Mitchell [32:16]:
"You do not have to chase happiness. It's within you."
They navigate the complexities of age-related stereotypes and the pressure to conform to certain appearances, all while maintaining their signature comedic flair.
In a delightful detour, the hosts discuss the quirky and creative names they give their pets, sharing laughs over unconventional choices and the stories behind them.
Paige DeSorbo [66:32]:
"This one girl's cat's name is Crunchwrap. Ms. Supreme, get over here."
Mitchell [67:24]:
"Like the name Pickle."
