I personally don't have time to sift through the ingredients labels or to see what is in my food. That's why I love Thrive Market. I feel like I've talked about Thrive so many times because they're the only place that has my freestyle olives which I love. They come in so many different flavors. Their Kalamata olives are so good, but they're special. Spicy ones are my absolute favorite and Thrive Market makes it so easy to find better options without the hassle. One of my favorite features is the Healthy Swap scanner. So in the Thrive Market app it simply scans any item and you'll instantly get cleaner, healthier grocery alternatives. Another thing I love is that Thrive Market smart cart feature. It takes the stress out of replacing the junk food when you create an account. So Thrive Market asks the right questions and automatically builds a grocery cart tailored to your needs. So honestly, things you would have never even thought of.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You know what else? It's giving.

[Hannah Berner]

Lie.

[Des Bishop]

No, it's giving.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It's giving. That's a lie. That's a frickin lie. Because as someone who's watched many people make a handmade ravioli. You could do that one handed. That is not a hard thing to do.

[Des Bishop]

Wait. I love. There's two kinds of people who lie. People who just like don't answer the question.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

Or then people who go so in so crazy that you're like, you know, too much detail.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I'm like, I didn't even know what time of day I was trying to.

[Des Bishop]

Do a spinach feta reveal. The spinach got caught and Next thing you know, lost a finger.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No. You know what's crazy is I don't know if it's because I'm single, but I feel like I'm going to say that a lot coming up. I don't know if it's because I'm single that I miss Giggly Squad. Like, I feel like the weeks are longer. Like, I feel like something will happen on a Thursday. And I'm like, am I really gonna wait till Monday to tell the girls? I started itching and then I, like.

[Des Bishop]

Want to tell you things. And I'm like, hold it, hold it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

This weekend. That's why Saturday. I was like, we gotta move the pod up to Sunday. I got shit to say. Ooh, ooh, ooh.

[Des Bishop]

Well, yeah. And then I'll send you the text, like, checking in, what's up? But I hate when I call you and I'm. You know when you don't want to say something to someone, but then you can't speak about anything else. Cause you're trying so hard to not say one thing. So they're like, are you d. How.

[Paige DeSorbo]

About I texted you at like 8am on a Saturday morning this weekend? I was like.

[Des Bishop]

And I just feel like, no. Well, you get morning anxiety. I get morning disappears by 1pm so I'm out here all day. I'm like, I'm calling Des. I'm like, I don't. Like, I think Paige is having a bad day. Like, what should I tell her? Radio silence from her. I was like, call me whenever you need. I'm here. I'm literally waiting by the phone like a good little girl waiting for you. I'm like, oh. I go, she must be in an escape room right now. She must be have checked into a mental health rehab facility. And that's why she hasn't called me. Text you around 8:30, just like, how you doing? You go, oh, my God. Lol. I was so dramatic. I go, I've been freaking out.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, my God. That was this morning. Literally, so dramatic. I'm over it.

[Des Bishop]

I feel like you wake up in a, like, wake up zone.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Do you want to know why? Why? Because I wake up and I grab my phone. And so when you see me in the Comments, bitch, that's 7am My head is clear, my mind is clear, and I'm ready for the day. And then by like, noon, I'm like, well, I probably shouldn't have said that. You know, I'm like, maybe no one saw it.

[Des Bishop]

It's funny because I used to be Mrs. Non Media trained where, like, when people ask me things, I'm just saying the truth. Like, I would just say what was going on. And I didn't know that you, like, technically shouldn't do that. Especially with, like, reality. T. Sometimes, you know, things get so misconstrued. I went on my first red carpet with my mom for Go Red for women to raise awareness about cardiovascular health for women. Did you know? One, it's the number one killer for women.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I didn't know that.

[Des Bishop]

And two, see, I would have said breast cancer. See, See, we don't know. That's why we're not women in stem. Correct. But apparently, apparently up until very recently, they were only studying men's heart health. And whenever a woman would be feeling weird and she'd go to the doctor, they'd be like, I think you're PMSing. But, like, you, like, Sharon Stone had a stroke for three days and, like, didn't know, and, like, it's just very under 60. They just. There's numbers.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. Trust us, when we say there are stats.

[Des Bishop]

Numbers are involved.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Numbers are real.

[Des Bishop]

So it's. It's just a classic case of, we need to do more research for women. And women will go to doctors, be like, my heart hurts. And they're like, you have anxiety. When it's like, women, if anything, we have intuition. So raising words about that. I'm like, mom, let's go on the carpet. First interview. They're like, ask me about you and, like, your dating life. And I'm like, oh, my God. Because I'm trying to remember facts about cardiovascular health.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You're trying to remember the phrase cardiovascular.

[Des Bishop]

Pronounced cardiovascular. And they were like, are you hooking Paige up with anyone? And I literally was like, oh, um, I'm.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Why aren't you.

[Des Bishop]

Well, I just got a finger pointed at my. A long, crazy, long, skinny finger pointed at me.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I'm glad you brought that up. Where have you been?

[Des Bishop]

Sorry. I'm kind of loving a moment of. Sorry. I like a moment of rest.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, let's have a moment of rest and reprieve. We deserve it.

[Des Bishop]

But I. I told her. I was like, this is the thing. I did not want a headline.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

I did not want to get involved because you've been involved.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I'm. And I was kind of enjoying me.

[Des Bishop]

Not being involved for a second, so I was like, oh, I know what you're trying to do. So then I just go, I'm. I'm. I'm just. I'm relaxing. And she looks at me, and she goes, no, you're.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I'm on voice rash.

[Des Bishop]

She literally goes, no, you're not. Which I thought was illegal. No, I gave my answer. Go to next question. She goes, no, you're not. And I go, let me be frank. I'm at home with my cat, which is Grace. Is that true? Yes. Yes. I'm at home with my cat.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes.

[Des Bishop]

And in that moment, I literally was so close to go full giggler. I just wanted to be like, I'm.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Minding my own business, trying to mind my own business, minding my own business.

[Des Bishop]

But then I saw the headline being like, hannah burner roots reporter, and says she's monitoring business.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I wish the headline was, hannah has been trying to mind her own business.

[Des Bishop]

Hannah Brenner struggling to my girl. But, like, me trying to not answer a question by press is. It's harder than the Olympics.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I've been trying to mind my own business for weeks now. I just, like, can't.

[Des Bishop]

Well, it's also hard when I'm trying to mind my own business. But then people talk about my friend, and then it becomes my business, but then I have to mind my own business because then I don't want to, you know?

[Paige DeSorbo]

And that's why you see me in the comments at Tiffany. No, it's actually so freaking annoying. Actually, let me just. Let me say to the Gigglers what like, I've been wanting to say since Thursday, since I've been itching to do the podcast, okay? Because obviously, like, I see all the TikTok video. I try and scroll. But, you know, I'm also like, I love attention, so I'm like, if I see my name, I'm like, well, let me see.

[Des Bishop]

The algorithm knows you want to see your name, right?

[Paige DeSorbo]

And so, like, I'm trying to scroll. Trying to scroll. Whatever. Here's the thing. I never want to address rumors on Giggly Squad because this is my safe space.

[Hannah Berner]

How dare they try and infiltrate my. The men try and infiltrate my safe space.

[Paige DeSorbo]

So, like, I don't even. It's not that I ignore, like, random rumors or, like, I don't care. Well, I don't care, but, like, it's because I'm not trying to bring it to the Gigglers because the Gigglers already know me. Like, who am I speaking to?

[Des Bishop]

The Gigglers are tired. They've not fighting the good fight. We do not need to add more to their plate.

[Paige DeSorbo]

These women, the girls has been. The girls have been on their. Like, we don't.

[Des Bishop]

They're taking turns.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, I've been getting DMs they're like, Paige, please stay in the house one weekend. We're exhausted. I'm like, no, bitch, I freaking get it. So let me just say this. I'm saying this here and now, and then I'm never saying it again. Okay? I never. In the three years that I dated my ex boyfriend, I never physically cheated.

[Hannah Berner]

On him, emotionally cheated on him. Can you mentally cheat on him?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Someone I don't know, but I didn't. And just because it's like, oh, my God, Paige is just the worst. And like, she blindsided someone before the holidays. So let me just say that, like, when I announced my breakup on Giggly Squad, I thought really hard about, like, how I was gonna say it, the words I was going to use because of this exact thing. Like, I didn't want to have to do a back and forth. But, like, since no one's sticking up for me on the other side or like, perpetuating even more rumors, I will say that Craig and I broke up Thanksgiving weekend. Okay, that's at the end of November. Craig then went on and did press for Southern Charm. Did whatever he needed to do, acting as if we were still together. And that was fine. I said that he could do that. He was processing in his own way. Christmas came and went. Then I saw that my ex boyfriend was on a trip presenting himself as single. And I said, oh, here we go. We're, we're ready to announce. I then texted him and said whilst he was on his trip that I'm going to say something on Giggly Squad and we can both, like, start moving forward. It's been a full month now. My text went unanswered. Fine. Giggly Squad episode came out. That was what, at the end of December. And then the narrative just, like, took a turn really quickly, that I had cheated, that I, like, broke up with him like a week ago, moved on with some new guy. Let me say this here and now. I did not move on with some new guy. I am single.

[Hannah Berner]

I don't have a new boyfriend.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I did not cheat on my ex boyfriend. And it was a full month that we were broken up. And I didn't say anything because I do. Even though we are public, there are certain things that I think should remain private. And he asked me not to say anything. And so once he was on a trip and being single, I said, okay, well, I can't deceive the public any longer. Per your request. I have a podcast and I have the Giggler. I have the girls. Like, the girls are here. So that is when I announced that we had our breakup. Since then, since I announced our breakup, I have been acting single because I am single. And so even though he's not coming out and saying that, like, I didn't cheat on him, even though I asked him to do that and he said that he didn't want to say anything about the breakup, so any of the other, like, baseless rumors that are. That have my name in them, they are not true. When you're in a relationship, things happen in your relationship. You take inventory of them, you evaluate, and then you decide if you want to go for forth with that relationship. And that's what I did. I decided that I did not want to go forth with that relationship. But no one was blindsided. No one was cheated on. I really took to heart, like, what I said on Giggly Squad when I first announced my breakup. It was really hard for me, and I felt like I spoke extremely highly of him. I will never be. I don't want to be the victim ever, but I also don't want to be the villain. I think this is, like, the last we need to speak of it. We broke up almost two months ago. Nothing happened that was nefarious or, like, cheating. There's not some big rumor that's going to come out, period. Now it's time to fucking giggle.

[Des Bishop]

Now it's time to laugh. It's comedy time.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, this is Giggly Squad, and I'm pissed that I even have to be serious. Let's get into something hilarious. Kanye west is back on Twitter.

[Des Bishop]

And I.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And I've screenshotted my favorite one.

[Des Bishop]

Speaking of receipts, bring up the yay tweets.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Damn. Just warming up. I'm rich. I can say whatever the I want. I do this for the broke me. Shout out to the broke me. This one's for you. Me walking into product.

[Des Bishop]

Is that the first tweet?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

No context.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Just no. Okay, okay. Reading and anyone who can do it, period. That's what I've been trying to say. How do you know it was really me? Did I spout something wrong? My God. Me talking to literally anyone. No, I'm just obsessed, you know, like, bring back. Bring back 2016. Like, when we were all happy and, like, Kanye was tweeting crazy things about, like, Kim, like, shitting herself.

[Des Bishop]

Like, you know, Kim was like, that's my man.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, that's my man on the screen. Oh, I love it.

[Des Bishop]

I would love him to take this energy into some new music though, right? I feel like maybe he's awakening in some way. And let's put that towards your skill point, you know?

[Hannah Berner]

No, I'm obsessed.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Speaking of, like, the Kardashians and Kanye and whatever, you know what? I'm not here for people just randomly being mean to Kylie Jenner. Like, people are so mad that she's dating Timothy Chalamet. They're like, she has no talent. Like, she. Like, he deserves something. He deserves someone. What? Like, what do you mean? She's literally. She's a bit.

[Des Bishop]

Like, she has stuff, you know, I feel like there's, like, this concept of Hollywood where it's like, this is Hollywood, and then, like, influences are influencers, but, like, I'm sorry, everything is a mush, right?

[Paige DeSorbo]

It's all a mush.

[Des Bishop]

Everyone's famous. Everyone.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Like, is there an A list?

[Des Bishop]

There's a list, but in a day, you. You can get out of it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. Like, who's really a list anymore? Bradley Cooper.

[Des Bishop]

But does that make Gigi a list?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Right. And is she not as good because she's just, like, a model?

[Des Bishop]

I don't know where the list.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Where are we drawing the line on who's A list and who's not? I think if you've won an Oscar, you're a list.

[Des Bishop]

But also. And if I get nominated for award ever, like, I never said this. The awards are made up. Yeah, it's all. It's all made up. It's all, you know, campaigning and who's. Who. Dicks are being sucked.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Do you campaign for, like, oh, my.

[Des Bishop]

God, it's a huge campaign. Like, Chalamet. Timothy Chevrolet is doing an incredible campaign for Bob Dylan, like, going on snl. And then that's showing that you care. Like, do you remember Harry Styles, how he did the whole. That was him, like, campaigning when he did MSG for, like, 400 nights.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, that was. People don't talk about that enough. That was mental illness.

[Des Bishop]

Those. Adderall for sure.

[Paige DeSorbo]

That's crazy. How'd he do that?

[Des Bishop]

Wait, can we just announce we don't do Adderall? Which I think is. Why don't we.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wait. It's kind of so chic.

[Des Bishop]

It's kind of chic because you know what? We like sleeping. So when we feel the tiredness come on, we don't think, oh, how can I Judy Garland myself?

[Paige DeSorbo]

So dark.

[Des Bishop]

No, I was hanging out with my uncle all weekend who's, like, loves old movies, and I was asking him questions about Judy Garland and he was like, no, they would just give her pills to wake her up, give her pills.

[Paige DeSorbo]

To go to sleep. That's how I felt in Denver. I was like, guys, you're literally trying to Elvis Presley me right now.

[Des Bishop]

I was recently talking to someone about it and I was like, you know, they give you like, oxygen things. And I was like, paige was having a panic attack. I put a spa music at her face and then was squirting oxygen into her mouth. And I was like, is this cpr? Am I doing cpr?

[Paige DeSorbo]

No. That panic attack was crazy. That panic attack literally opened my whole world.

[Des Bishop]

I do have to say though, panic attacks are your body telling you something's wrong.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

Not to brag, but I manifested this. It's happening. I don't know how, but manifestation is real. We are partnering with lactate.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It's. I think it's your dream.

[Des Bishop]

No, like, I'm retiring after this.

[Paige DeSorbo]

If there's one brand that I can go back from, like the day that I met you that like, you have been faithful and true to it is lactate.

[Des Bishop]

They sent me recently lactate ice cream. So it's regular milk but without the lactose. Women in stem know that does ate it all. Then I find out they have cottage cheese you. They have sour cream lactees. I feel like they made it because they knew I was going to go nuts over it. But anyway, we're partnering with Lactaid because we love eating milk and cheese, as you know. But we are dairy sensitive. There's something going on. If you've listened to this pod, you know that I have some dairy sensitivities. So we're doing a live Giggly Squad show. We're actually doing Club Giggly with lactate at the dairy Lovers Lounge at a pop up in New York City.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wait, I'm like obsessed with a dairy's lover lounge.

[Des Bishop]

Oh my God, it's gonna be so cute. So we're on a mission with lactate to unite the dairy baddies who refuse to compromise their love for real dairy. And by dairy Baddie, it's someone who keeps it real, maybe even when they shouldn't. Someone who refuses to compromise their love for milk. And someone who knows you don't have to break up with real dairy just because you're dairy sensitive. And guys, just because you're dairy sensitive doesn't mean you're not a bad.

[Paige DeSorbo]

So if you're in the NYC area, you can RSVP starting at 5pm Eastern Standard Time on February 4th to join us for free on February 11th. So check out the link in our bios.

[Des Bishop]

It was in Manhattan somewhere.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Like a big ball.

[Des Bishop]

Oh, my God. No, it was in Jazz at Lincoln Center.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh.

[Des Bishop]

Which, by the way, when I went to high school, you know, I get off right there where the globe was and then walk to my high school. It was so she. So chic. And we'd hang out in Central park like little, you know, artsy poets in Sheep's Meadow. But anyway, enough about me and my childhood. First person I see, Portia Williams. Stop when I tell you I did 42 episodes of chat Room with her in my mom's kitchen. Never met her in person.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No way.

[Des Bishop]

Yeah, because.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, yeah, because it's Covid.

[Des Bishop]

It was Covid. And it's illegal for me to go to BravoCon.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

So there's no way we've ever crossed paths. We've never crossed paths.

[Paige DeSorbo]

That. She's never come across your dad.

[Des Bishop]

She's never come across my desk. And I look at her, and she doesn't realize we've never met in person. So she's like, hannah, what's up? And I'm like, bitch, we've never met in person. And so that was crazy. Also, she's gorgeous. And, like, I mean, her body, Giselle.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It was crazy.

[Des Bishop]

I. I was. I'm surprised they let me on that show. They were like, you ugly little rodent.

[Paige DeSorbo]

They're like, you're the funny one.

[Des Bishop]

No, but they're so funny, too. But anyway, guess who the host was, who I love. I say guess. Like, you could guess. There's no way.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I love the way you tell a story.

[Des Bishop]

Yes, you can. You can't get it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You stupid little bitch.

[Des Bishop]

You can't get it. I'm like, I know.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Mario Lopez.

[Des Bishop]

Sharon Stone.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wow.

[Des Bishop]

Who is so beautiful. And she. So we're in, like, the now.

[Paige DeSorbo]

She does a good short hair, slick back like, well, because her.

[Des Bishop]

The cheekbones.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

Her jaw and her profile is so cunt. So she walks on.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Sharon Stone in Casino is like my overall life. Mood board.

[Des Bishop]

Well, talk about it, girl.

[Paige DeSorbo]

The most.

[Des Bishop]

So there was this huge backstage area.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Because it was fashion, like a lesbian moment.

[Des Bishop]

Well, that's what I. That's what I've been trying to get you into, honestly.

[Paige DeSorbo]

But I'm just like, jokes on you guys. Jokes on you guys.

[Des Bishop]

This close. I've been getting eaten out by the greatest lesbian ever. Okay, so Sharon Stone's walking by and she's with this woman who's, like, in control of the show, who I knew. And for some reason, Sharon Stone, like, stops right where I am. I think she thought I was someone I. Or I think she thought I was someone I wasn't.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

Or she was like, oh, this is some girl that I don't know, that I should know. And she stops and I'm looking at her and it's Sharon Stone. And the woman next to her goes, stand up. And Sharon Stone. But I know way I didn't think she was stopping. I thought it was someone behind me, but she stopped and put her hands out. And I go, oh, hi. And she goes, stand up at Sharon Stone. I stand up and I go, no.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Literally, that's the energy I gave with Victoria Beckham. I was like, put pants on. It's Victoria Beckham. No, that. Yeah, I get stand up.

[Des Bishop]

It's Sharon Stone. So I stood up and I was like, you are just iconic in every way. And she was like, thanks. And then went on to walk. And I looked at my mom and I was like, what the hell was that?

[Paige DeSorbo]

I feel like she's really tall in person.

[Des Bishop]

She's tall, but not like freaky tall.

[Paige DeSorbo]

But like, like, like a solid five eight.

[Des Bishop]

Yes. Yeah, she's just regal. And then she was hosting and some charities, I do have to say, I mean, shout out charities. We love what you do.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, we love your work.

[Des Bishop]

We love your work.

[Paige DeSorbo]

We're obsessed with all the things you organize.

[Des Bishop]

Boring. Like, this is like they're just yapping, yapping, yapping about things that aren't like, they just. Some people at the charity want to hear.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Was it a sit down dinner?

[Des Bishop]

No, it was the most fun, like, concert. And they did a cocktail hour. Cocktail hour concert, and then a fashion show of all these, like, red dresses. It was amazing. But Sharon Stone, when she gets the mic, she has such an aura. Like, she was telling stories that, like, weren't even completely related all the time. It was. She's killing on the mic.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

Then Suki Waterhouse is there. Oh.

[Paige DeSorbo]

What does she look like in person?

[Des Bishop]

Gorgeous.

[Hannah Berner]

Gorgeous.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Tall.

[Des Bishop]

The cheekbones, out of control.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Did you get bangs?

[Des Bishop]

Yes. And she just. She has an 11 month child. There's something inspirational.

[Paige DeSorbo]

There's something about British people and like, they pull off bangs better.

[Des Bishop]

You know, I didn't want to say that. I didn't want to say it because you pulled them off very well.

[Paige DeSorbo]

But it's just something like they sit on the face. They sit on their face better. It's more believable.

[Des Bishop]

Like Daisy Edgar Jones.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. Like, she's not British. Yes, she is. She's Irish.

[Des Bishop]

She pulls off a lot of accents. Okay.

[Paige DeSorbo]

European.

[Des Bishop]

European.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Europeans pull off bangs in a dip. Like in a non intentional way. Like, I feel like America girls were like. That's why the whole thing is like, are you okay? Like we.

[Des Bishop]

It's.

[Paige DeSorbo]

We go too hard. Myself included. Like, I'm including myself in that.

[Des Bishop]

But. But it's so funny because she's so British. But then she goes to singing and they lose the accent, which no one's ever studied that.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, it'll never make sense.

[Des Bishop]

It'll never make sense. Someone should study it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Like Adele has an accent, but like my Adele doesn't. You know, like Maya Dell in my head, she's from Queens.

[Des Bishop]

Right.

[Paige DeSorbo]

If Adele was from America. Hello?

[Des Bishop]

It's me.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes.

[Des Bishop]

Where are you? I've been waiting for years for you to call. Wait. I've been sitting watching Jeopardy all night long, long. And you haven't. Ring me up once, I will beat your ass.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Hello? I'm on the other side of West 55th. Where are you?

[Des Bishop]

How are we not cast in an aura is beyond me. And I'm jealous. Mikey Madison. You're from la. You lucky. Okay.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I love that my Adele is from Queens. That's so fun.

[Des Bishop]

Not my Adele then. Sarah Bareilles. Are you familiar with her work? I am. I'm not gonna write you a love song.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Her voice, which did she perform?

[Des Bishop]

She performed for 40 minutes and I was glued to my seat.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It.

[Des Bishop]

Her voice is so incredible now. She's. Whatever. Long story short, I haven't seen other people perform in a while because I have just hammered it up on my own stage. It's so nice to sit back and appreciate others.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It's so nice to let someone else talk. You know? Sometimes I'm like, how about you go.

[Des Bishop]

These girls have been doing this thing called listening that I've never tried. Yeah, but swipe up if you Want to listen Hannah25. I highly recommend it. It was so fun, so relaxing. I almost. I think I may have learned something.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I can't tell you the last time I went to something. You're gonna say, listen, well, that I can tell you the last time I went to a performance.

[Des Bishop]

So I want to go see and Juliet. There's also this all in. I think we need to go to some New York City shows, because it's kind of thing like people.

[Paige DeSorbo]

When you say shows, what do you mean?

[Des Bishop]

Broadway shows, not musicals. Okay, there's some, like, shows. And Juliet's a musical. I lied. Oh, wait. You just got so mad at me. No, it's just like, you like, stand up.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I love a stand up.

[Des Bishop]

Look, you come hang with me at some shows. We'll figure it out.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, maybe I'll just come and, like, sit in the green room of the stand.

[Des Bishop]

I don't know if that's safe for you. Have you ever seen a green room of a real comedy club?

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, but I'm. I'm open to new opportunities or.

[Des Bishop]

You're gonna love it. It's just. It's honestly just like, men who kind of look like school shooters smoking weed and talking about their cum jokes, which honestly can be relaxing.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I feel like they're the kind of guys that, like, when you're in a relationship with them, they're the ones that are like, I was cheated on and like, I never got over it. And you're like, what age? And they're like the fourth grade, you know, like, it's that type of energy that they hold on to.

[Des Bishop]

No, it's the kind of thing where on stage they're so charming. Then they get off stage and you're like, could you. Could you smile once?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, maybe I'll sit in the audience. But I'm saying, like, I haven't sat in the audience of something in a while, and I'm craving it.

[Des Bishop]

I even think as a performer, it's important to, like, remember the experience of, like, you know, we never see the front of these theaters. Like, we don't even see where it says, like, giggly Squad. Yeah, Michigan, whatever. What's it called in the front? It's called the front of a theater. The marquee. We never see the marquee front of a theater. We will go to tons of town, never see the marquee, because we go in through the back door. The back door and get put as you like to do, and then we go in.

[Paige DeSorbo]

We never talked about after we did Giggly Squad, Radio City, like, I got home, my brother came to the show and he didn't say anything to me other than really page an anal joke in front of our parents.

[Des Bishop]

Did he say that? Okay, that's giving jelly and I'm giving jealous.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I didn't say it was me.

[Des Bishop]

It's giving jealous. Speaking of my papa, because, okay, the giggly squad books. There's like a galley that's been made which is like the first. I don't know what a galley is.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

But it's going around and I think they're giving it to some bookstores to be like, do you guys want it? Or whatever. And my papa started reading it and he was like, do you guys talk about pooping like you do on the pod? And I was like, probably. I don't know what chapter it is. But he started reading it and he really liked it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Probably. I don't look at the chapters. It's pretty self explanatory thing called an index.

[Des Bishop]

Actually there is a chapter of how to poop in public. There is. I definitely started that chapter.

[Paige DeSorbo]

But no, I'm obsessed with your family. Truly.

[Des Bishop]

No, we had a fun weekend with my uncle Johnny. He has a basement of all old movie paraphernalia. Paraphernalia.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Let's actually, I saw it on your Instagram story. You've been Instagram. I love when you get in an Instagram story mood because sometimes you're just like, you're reposting. You're like working. You're like, this is what I've done. But then there are times where you really let like your true comedic timing humor. Last night I rewatched your Instagram story like three times. When you posted that dog and said I love your Bobby. I lost was like. As if it was the funniest thing I've ever seen on the Internet. Because it was. You know what it is?

[Des Bishop]

When I'm not with you and I'm not with dez, I don't have anyone to be snarky with.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes.

[Des Bishop]

So then these. My Internet is my people.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

But I. That actually wasn't what I wanted to write. I wanted to write Ass Bob, but I knew that all my family would be reading and be like, why did you call the dog? And I was like, it's Internet joke. Whatever. No, this dog, Dog's Bob was so quaffed and when it would bark, it would do like a. Like it was like. It was. It was literally Anna Wintour of dogs.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

And. But the dog was gay. It was a gay man.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yep.

[Des Bishop]

And honestly, he Looked at me and.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Went, ewan for auburn hair.

[Des Bishop]

Got it. I said, you would love my friend Paige. You would love her outfit.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wait. Not to bring the mood down.

[Des Bishop]

Well, you already brought down once. Or bring it down again.

[Paige DeSorbo]

This is so sad. My family dog, Polo passed away two days ago. My mom called me hysterically crying.

[Des Bishop]

Oh, did you get a weird sense when she called you that something happened or. No.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No.

[Des Bishop]

You're like, I'm two of my own stuff.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Honestly, I don't know if you heard me 10 minutes ago. I got my own going on.

[Des Bishop]

Mama can't talk enough. That dog.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Actually, wait. This is so up. My mom was obviously, like, so upset. So, like, I'm checking in on her the next morning, and I'm like, hey, like, how are you doing? She's like, I'm doing a lot better. And I was like, okay, good. Because I'm so overwhelmed right now. And I, like, literally, like, I don't know what's happening. Everyone's been mean to me.

[Des Bishop]

No. But when I tell you this dog was like your mom's shadow, like, yeah, Polo no was. I do have to say, I think we talked about in the pod, but when I did visit that day. Yeah, this dog was half in the grave. Okay. This dog is. No, this dog. No one was acknowledging this dog that a good, long life. But, like, I looked over, and the dog is. You know, when they're laying, but, like, it doesn't look like they're breathing.

[Paige DeSorbo]

This dog consumed more Italian meats than any boyfriend I've ever dated.

[Des Bishop]

Someone say that we'll kill them. Some would say pudo wasn't the thing to feed the. Some would say it was a little overweight and maybe had some cardiovascular problems. No. But I literally, like, when we're about to go the show, I go, I hope Polo's alive. We get back, I just make. I kept making Polo death jokes, which I think is me. I hate animals dying, like, to the point that, like, I'd rather it be a human.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

So I, like, couldn't handle that. The comedy started to come with it. But then when you told me, I sent Kim you tag. Yes. I said, kimmy.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I text, like, Hannah. And I said, sad news today. Polo has passed away.

[Des Bishop]

No, I got really upset. No. I can't even bring up my childhood cat Trixie, and my dad. Like, if my dad's listening right now, he's gonna. He's gonna turn off Giggle Squad right now. Like, I need to process this.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, the great thing about Polo was I got Polo after Like, our dog before Polo passed away. And I think we waited maybe, like, six. Six months before we got Polo, but I got him when I turned when I was 18, and my parents let me get him because all my friends were going away to college and I wasn't. And so, like, I just felt I was in such a weird time where I was just like, I don't know what I'm freaking doing. And I guess, like, I have to go to college. That's terrifying. But I was living home, and I just felt, like, a little lonely. I feel like a loser, honestly. I was like, oh, my God. Like, I'm the only one not going away to school. And so I was like, okay, I'm gonna get this dog. I was with this puppy every single day. So, like, it truly was my dog.

[Des Bishop]

Was he the cutest puppy?

[Paige DeSorbo]

The cutest. So I. Because I was the only one home with it during the day. So me and Polo bonded. So when you were supposed to be at school, I was like, should I skip class? Bark if yes. We ate Mac and cheese, and we snuggled and, like. And also, as a puppy, the laziest dog I've ever seen. Like, just, like, had no interest in, like, running, jumping, playing, and I was like, yeah, get in the bed. And so then when I moved to New York City, I really felt like I had, like, abandoned him, and he truly became my mom's dog, and he was just. He was just, like, the perfect dog.

[Des Bishop]

Can we have a moment of silence for Polo?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Moment of sight.

[Hannah Berner]

Silence for Paula.

[Des Bishop]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Should we start doing moment of silence.

[Paige DeSorbo]

For everything for people that we cut out of our lives? Moment of silence.

[Des Bishop]

Side note, we raised so much money, we haven't gotten the official stats. We'll post it soon for the LA fires. And with the giggly squad T shirt. We're so happy about that. We love charity. We're also very specific about the charities. Like, we want to do our research to make sure we're not just throwing money or throwing supplies at anything. And sometimes you do stuff, and it makes it harder for people. Anyway, long story short, it's complicated. I saw a TikTok that said, if you have acne on the lower third of your face and you're not, like, premenstrual, so, like, which every time I have my period, but, like, and you're.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Not premenstrual, and it's, like, all month.

[Des Bishop]

Okay, find a new relationship. Stop. Apparently, they said it's, like, it's a cortisol thing that, like, this man is stressing you the out. And if you're breaking out while you're with him, it's like your body's response.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Do you. Did you follow any of the Madeline RG Central C drama when that happened?

[Des Bishop]

Kind of like a little. All the videos were too long, but it was. He kept cheating on her.

[Paige DeSorbo]

For me, they were too Gen Z. I was like, these are kids. These are kids. They'll figure it out. But the videos I've been seeing, sometimes. Sometimes back together. I don't think they're back together. But he, like, just recently put out a song and it was basically about her. And everyone was like, making videos. Like, I hope she doesn't listen to this and like, go back to him. Like, I would crumble.

[Des Bishop]

Like, it was that, like, Got it, got it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, you're like your glow up. And you're like.

[Des Bishop]

I would just call him and be like, give me 20.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Literally where's.

[Des Bishop]

You're using my likeness.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Cut the amount of men I'd like to call and say, hey, that'll be 10 grand.

[Des Bishop]

Well, that's like Mariah Carey suing your ex for wasting her time. Honestly, I didn't understand her until this moment. Until this moment. At first I was like, okay, okay. Now I'm like, why haven't more women done that?

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, the pettiness of Mariah Carey is something to, like, be studied. Yeah. What was I saying?

[Des Bishop]

You were saying Central C. Okay.

[Paige DeSorbo]

So he says in it that like, about her skin glow, like, glowing or whatever. And she does look completely different since, like, getting out of the relationship with him. All of her video she did do, I would follow her because when I thought she was just like, cute and like, that, I love her. And she would always make videos about, like, her acne and her skin and all this stuff. And then like, recently her.

[Des Bishop]

She's glowing.

[Paige DeSorbo]

The clearest skin I've ever seen. Honey, do you ever.

[Des Bishop]

Do you do see some girls in relationships? And I'm talking about not facetune, just raw, where you're like, I think. I think he's draining that. I think she's being drained from the inside out.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

I want you girls look in the mirror.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You don't really know. And I think you don't notice it until you're out of true. I'm trying to think, like, what if I had any breakups where, like, I. My physical appearance drastically changed.

[Des Bishop]

I once was in a relationship where I knew I needed to break up with him, but I was so scared and I stopped eating, which has never Been done in the history of my life.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

I was so skinny. But, like, in an embarrassing way where, like, I wanted to eat but couldn't. Like, I remember going to one of my mom's jazz gigs with my family, and I ordered pasta and I couldn't eat it. And I was, like, trying to figure out ways to make it look like I ate it, but I was so sick and nauseous. No. Because I knew that, like, I was gonna be pulled aside and be like, what the wrong.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No way.

[Des Bishop]

Because has never not finished a meal. And then, like, even at work, I'd be, like, eating my sandwich, and I'd be picking on it, and people comment about it. Like, people be like, do you not like your sandwich?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, my God.

[Des Bishop]

Yeah. So. And I got very skinny, and then I started to feel like I was sick. Like, I had a disease that was, like, taking.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wow. I feel like I don't have good friends because I feel like anytime I'm not eating, they're like, you look great.

[Des Bishop]

No. When you're not eating, what are you doing?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Keep it up.

[Des Bishop]

Are you not finishing that? Can I eat that?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, but that's different. You're just inquiry inquiring about if you can eat it or not.

[Des Bishop]

I. I just remember then I got out of it, and it takes, like, a week or 2 or 3. And the next thing you know, my body was, like, back in balance.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It's funny because one of my girlfriends was, like, in the midst of breaking up with her boyfriend in the past couple of weeks. And it's so funny to, like, go through a breakup and then be, like, on the other side and then be talking to, like, a girl about going through a breakup. And you just, like, you have. You really do have to let them get out all the possibilities, like, all the scenarios that they've made up in their head. And she was, like, going back and forth with it, and she was just like, I don't know if it's right, and, like, blah, blah, blah. And I was just like, look, if it is right, you'll get back together. Like, you'll be fine. And then, I mean, we were three hours in. This was like, I've never been more myself.

[Des Bishop]

You're like, a monkey has been lifted off my head.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You're also three martinis deep.

[Des Bishop]

But girls do. Losing hair is a thing, too. Yeah. And people don't talk about it because I think it is, like, it gets scary, but it's more common than you'd think. I've had. Definitely had friends being like, you're in the shower and you're like, oh. Like, your body is literally like, you can't. You can try to trick your mind, but you can't trick me. But yeah, you can't.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I think my, like, I had breakups where my face, like, I felt like I was holding weight, like, in my face.

[Des Bishop]

Yeah.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And then, like, I would break up and I'd be like, oh, she does have a job. We didn't know.

[Des Bishop]

Human. Gua sha. Say that, right? Gua sha. No, it's. It's very interesting.

No, that's one of the shows I haven't watched. I haven't watched White Lotus. I haven't watched Bridgerton.

[Paige DeSorbo]

We should. Because it is very like, like true crimey.

[Des Bishop]

Yeah, I love a little mystery.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay, whatever. The last season of White Lotus, there was a guy. Shoot, I can't Think of his name.

[Hannah Berner]

Whatever.

[Paige DeSorbo]

He was, like, really, really hot in it. And he was.

[Hannah Berner]

I think it was British.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, not Theo James.

[Hannah Berner]

That's my love.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, it was a different guy. Anyway, he's on this new Apple show called Prime Suspect. Oh.

[Des Bishop]

Oh, yeah. I haven't watched it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

So good.

[Des Bishop]

We can say shout out to Apple. Apple tv. You're a little expensive, but you're.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, they're putting in more quality over quantity.

[Des Bishop]

Like when they put out a show, you know, it's been green. The lit.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You're so right. Because their top 10 is the same all year.

[Des Bishop]

Yeah. And it's just fire. And then. Yeah, they bring back the really good ones.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Question for you.

[Des Bishop]

No, I don't know what's going on in severance. I can't understand it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, I've given up on that last pod. We were like, watch it. Rewatch it.

[Des Bishop]

I have to watch another episode. Episode.

[Paige DeSorbo]

What is your. Like when you go. Okay. When you go to your apartment and you're turning on your tv, what is. What is your. You don't know what I'm gonna say. I don't think. What is your. What's your streaming platform like? What's your device where all your apps are on?

[Des Bishop]

Okay, this. I feel like I'm about to be naked in front of you guys. Like, this is the Ross I've ever been on this pod.

[Paige DeSorbo]

If it's what I think, I go.

[Des Bishop]

Okay, well, first of all, I. Can I answer it in my own way?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes.

[Des Bishop]

Okay.

[Paige DeSorbo]

So this is an open forum.

[Des Bishop]

Okay.

[Paige DeSorbo]

So I created it.

[Des Bishop]

I sit down and just out of habit, I. First of all, I don't know how to share my own TV on.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes.

[Des Bishop]

Too many remotes. I click every button until somehow it miraculously turns on. Then I go to the tennis channel.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay, let me rewind you. You're going to the tennis channel first. But how are you getting to the tennis channel?

[Des Bishop]

So are you on cable? It's on cable, but I don't know the tennis channel. So I have to go tennis channel. So if I'm okay with you and I want you on tennis show, you hear me? Go ten.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay. Okay, that's.

[Des Bishop]

I think it's 500 something. What? After past 30, I'm not remembering. If you are past 30, I don't know what channel you're on.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Right.

[Des Bishop]

So I watch, put the touch on. And if it's a match, I like, she's sad.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay.

[Des Bishop]

And I'll do my thing, and I will have it on all day.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay.

[Des Bishop]

If it's not a match I like. I can also go to Amazon, go to live tv, and they have other matches on.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay.

[Des Bishop]

That are sometimes, like, women's matches that I want to watch. Then I do go to Netflix as my first.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay.

[Des Bishop]

Just to be like, is there a new documentary?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay. I don't think you're understanding my question.

[Des Bishop]

How long are you going to let me go?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Well, you said you wanted to do it in your own way, and I'm a supportive friend. What is your box like?

[Des Bishop]

Can I just say one thing? I'm not involved in the electrical part of this. My husband deals with that. I don't know what the WI fi password is. I come in and I use it, and when it doesn't work, I say does. And then he's like, how can you always break the tv?

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I should have come correct. As someone who does not believe in Bluetooth or WI fi, has never had a wireless headphone, I should have come correct. My theory is. And I know it's true, because I know that this is you, too.

[Des Bishop]

Yeah.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Men don't have an Apple tv. They don't have a Roku. They say, this is a smart tv. Why would I have that? Is that you?

[Des Bishop]

That's what DEZ has done to me. And what's crazy is our tv, for me to watch Hulu or hbo, I have to do it through my phone because it's not up on ours.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Right.

[Des Bishop]

And I. And I just thought that's the life I had to live.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You have to live.

[Des Bishop]

I can just. I used to have Roku when I was living with girls.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Correct.

[Des Bishop]

And they came. Correct.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I switched to an Apple TV about two years ago from a Roku to an Apple tv. All my apps are right there. Everything's, like, signed in. Everything's gorgeous. My. I go to my brother's and chaos, chaos ensues. I'm like, how could you even figure out where HBO Max is? You know?

[Des Bishop]

No, I know. And not to brag, but does is a man of the world.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

So occasionally, for some reason, our TV thinks it's, like, logged into Ireland. So then I, like, can't get certain things because it thinks we're in Ireland, which is a very small country. Unlimited.

[Paige DeSorbo]

He's VPNing your TV and you don't even know it.

[Des Bishop]

I don't know what's going on.

[Paige DeSorbo]

He's given your TV an STD and you have no way of.

[Des Bishop]

Anyway, now Des is in. He's in Dublin.

[Paige DeSorbo]

For how long?

[Des Bishop]

He's coming back for a second. And, like, he's on pretty long of a tour.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, my God.

[Des Bishop]

But also, like, we have stuff going on too.

[Paige DeSorbo]

So, like, what have you been doing?

[Des Bishop]

Well, like, that's why I hung out with family for the first time in years.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You're like, well, I got to know my mom and dad and they seem left. Right.

[Des Bishop]

I sent Kim. Sent Kim flowers for polo.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, you're Martha May Houvier.

[Des Bishop]

I spoke to Chris and asked him a couple questions, but when he came in.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Your corresponding penmanship.

[Des Bishop]

I'm going to watch the Grammys full with no interruptions tonight.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wow.

[Des Bishop]

Literally three minutes into the red carpet interviews, he goes, I can't believe you're going to watch this for three more hours. All the questions are the same. And I go, yeah. And I'm observing a hundred different things of. Of like, this is girlhood that you're not understanding.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, men don't.

[Des Bishop]

And. And he's like, this interview is awkward. I'm like. And that's why I like watching it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. Well, this is the first weekend there's no football, so I wonder if the boys were okay. Was everyone okay?

[Des Bishop]

Oh, yeah. Because they're waiting for the Super Bowl. Yeah. Which. Do you know there's some conspiracy theories about the super bowl, which I don't like to spread, but I watched the game they played.

[Paige DeSorbo]

But please, I will say them.

[Des Bishop]

They played the Buffalo Bills.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay.

[Des Bishop]

And there were just some rumors that the refs are being very lenient with the Chiefs, which would make sense because at the end of the day, capitalism wins again. Everything's about money. Everything's about money. The league makes more money when the Chiefs go to the finals because Taylor.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Swift of a woman. And now we've said it.

[Des Bishop]

And the way this deserves a cut. No more than anyone.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I think about it all the time. If. Here's the thing, there's no way the NFL isn't giving her somewhat of a cut. I don't think that would ever, like they would ever say that because that. I don't know why that feels illegal, but whatever.

[Des Bishop]

Yeah. I feel like they've played her music.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And there's just no way. Because here's the other thing. The TV viewership alone, she's made them millions and millions of dollars. How. How would they not pay her? Like something.

[Des Bishop]

Or maybe she's signing, like to let them cut to her because she's not only getting hate.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, yeah. Like, maybe she's saying, you can cut.

[Des Bishop]

This amount of time and maybe give.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Me a certain amount of money.

[Des Bishop]

Maybe you're team gets approvals look at us making shit up.

[Paige DeSorbo]

So, yeah. Or. Or. And hear me out here. Or she's like, I'm a billionaire.

[Des Bishop]

I don't care about your little game.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I don't care. I'm literally here to watch my bonehead boyfriend. Like, I'm being supportive. I don't give a shit.

[Des Bishop]

Can I. Can you help me with this one thing? Because I don't want to hurt any of the man's feelings. I'm talking facts right now. Chris, I want you to hear this. Why are the positions fullback, cornerback, running back, tight end? Like, we don't tight end. Like, who is in the room? Like, okay, what do we call the fourth one? And they're like, obviously tight end. And it's always the hot Travis. Kelsey's tight end, Gronkowski's tight end. They pick the cute.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I never see I can say positions.

[Des Bishop]

Yeah.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I don't know where they are.

[Des Bishop]

Tight end is a crazy thing to see. Seriously, name a position.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Honestly, if any man said tight end to me, I'd be thankful. No, but I'm saying thank you.

[Des Bishop]

It's one thing if all of them were like, side end, wide end, tight end. It has nothing to do with tight end.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And then they just decided, what is a tight end?

[Des Bishop]

A tight end is the guy on, I guess, the end who keeps it tight. He keeps that motherfucker shit tight.

[Paige DeSorbo]

After the game, what do they do together? Shower.

[Des Bishop]

And let's be honest, these men can afford their own showers. You don't have to go in the same showers.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And I've heard multiple men football players are not saying it's team bonding. I'm sorry. I never team bonded with a friend naked.

[Des Bishop]

The closest me and you have been to being naked in the same room together is when I'm pooping and you happen to be trying to do your makeup in the same room.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, and it's against my will. I know for a fact I was in there first. I know for a fact. And that you had a chimichanga. Okay, so let's not even act like it was just us bonding. It was you having a serious problem. I'm your emergency contact.

[Des Bishop]

Sorry, Grandpa, Papa, whoever's listening, do you ever have a gas bubble that you're like, this is how I die. I was in the car.

[Paige DeSorbo]

What's a gas bubble? Like, you have to fart.

[Des Bishop]

Let me explain. So I was in California with Andrew Collin. I ordered a salad. He ordered, like, a cheeseburger with fries. But it was before our show. So I'm like, I can't have a cheeseburger for the show.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

But obviously I'm starving. Yeah. And he goes to get the car and he didn't finish his fries. So I'm like, well, now I have to eat his fries. So I shovel a bunch of fries in my mouth. And then you get the adrenaline of like, oh, my God, I'm going to the show.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

I get in the car, everything's normal. Do you know when you get a wave of, like, diarrhea, like, it's not like a wave of pain in your stomach.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay. Is it.

[Des Bishop]

It's bubbling below. Below.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay. In your stomach. It's not like a heartburn bubble.

[Des Bishop]

No.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay.

[Des Bishop]

It's. For me, it's always, you know, I don't even burp. It's always. It goes that one hole.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

So I'm. I guess you're more of a puker.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Thank you.

[Des Bishop]

Like, that's so dainty of you. The other day. Wait, this is so bad.

[Paige DeSorbo]

The other day I coughed so hard I threw up in my own bed. I go, this is a new. I'm like, I need to go to the doctors. This is not okay. Daphne looked at me and was just like, But I honestly.

[Des Bishop]

Who just shot in your bed five minutes earlier was like, do that in another room.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I honestly felt like it brought us closer because I was like, do you think I'm a cat? Like, I just had a hairball.

[Des Bishop]

You're becoming the same thing.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, my God. Oh.

[Des Bishop]

You know when you have to have diarrhea but you hold it because you're in a car. Yeah. So it goes away and then the wave hits again. I call it a gas bubble. Bubble needs to be released. But I'm like, with a straight man. Right. And like, if I was with you, I would just immediately be like, I'm going to give you a stat, a play by play.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

Until we get to the hotel of how I'm doing. So Andrew said that I just got really quiet.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Like, he was like, this is when you start sweating. This is the sweating.

[Des Bishop]

And he's being funny. And I'm like, if I laugh right now.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

We're going to have disaster.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

So I'm just holding it in and I'm like, you're sweating, you're crying. Like, it's horrible. And when I. I ran to the bathroom.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

And we have like a small green room. And it was just like him outside and me in the green room, like, releasing my inside.

[Paige DeSorbo]

There's nothing worse than. And I remember, what city was it in? You Know exactly.

[Des Bishop]

Milwaukee, Milwaukee. There was nothing worse than even a bad one. That was not even a bad one.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Grace and I almost passed away. Grace and I wear Polo deceased.

[Des Bishop]

And for all of you who are judging me right now at home, if you want a laxative, perform stand up comedy. Like, I don't care what's in your. Before you go on stage, you feel like a lion's chasing you and your body needs to, like, release it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I've never been married.

[Des Bishop]

We know.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I've never been engaged, but I can imagine the feeling you get before you walk down the aisle of, like, oh, I have a nervous pee. Like, have to pee. Or, like, a nervous poop. Or, like, whatever. It's that feeling.

[Des Bishop]

Yeah. You know, it's crazy, though. I never had a crazy feeling getting engaged or getting married. I was nervous before walking down the aisle, but I'm way more nervous about, like, having kids.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I hope they never listen to this.

[Des Bishop]

Can we have a moment of silence?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Let's have a moment of silence.

[Des Bishop]

So, yeah, I had a gas bubble, but I survived. Final thing I just wanted to say to, like, bond with you. My.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I feel like we're not bonded enough.

[Des Bishop]

I feel like this episode, we didn't really connect. My. I looked over in the car today, and my Nana's. First of all, seeing your mom or your Nana scroll. Their Instagram is so. My Shayla. Yeah, my Shayla. And I looked, and she was. Her algorithm has Runway on it, and Nana's like, oh, I love this dress.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And I was, wait, I'm gonna start DMing Nana. Different outfits. I see that. I like.

[Des Bishop]

Nana's so cute. She was like, I have to respond to my fans right now. I need a minute. Okay. I have to talk to my girls. And then she got upset because she realized this is the funniest thing that's ever happened. She. I set that up too strong. She said she realized that her Instagram posts are going automatically to her Facebook and she's upset about it. And I said, nana, that makes your life easier. And she goes, my audience is different on my Facebook than my Instagram, and I'm writing to my Instagram girls. When I write on Instagram, I don't want it to be. My Facebook is a whole different, like, demo.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. And I think our Facebook recently got hacked. I didn't know we had one. We don't.

[Des Bishop]

We don't. Oh, no.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, a Twitter.

[Des Bishop]

Oh, a Twitter.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I feel like someone did a. Anyway. Anyway, there's something not on Instagram or TikTok.

[Des Bishop]

We've been hacked. You gotta know what's gonna happen. But when it does. Hacked Justin Bieber.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Do you know how. How many people I wanted to comment, like, on the Internet this weekend? Blocked.

[Des Bishop]

Can I just make an announcement? This last week, everything Paige just said she was hacked, she was hacked. Anything you saw on TikTok or Instagram? Instagram hacked. But one last thing. Just shout out.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Des Bishop]

Schiaparelli. Look at you.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, my God, no.

[Des Bishop]

The way my jaw dropped at the works of art. Is anyone doing it like Schiaparelli right now?

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, it's. It's. It's truly works of art.

[Des Bishop]

Yeah.

[Paige DeSorbo]

That's the thing, like, with fashion, it's. It can be so different and, like, truly be like a piece of art that you're wearing.

[Des Bishop]

Schiaparelli is actually where we come together. We are. We come together in Schiaparelli because one, it's Italian. Two, it's like a little out there.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No surprise.

[Des Bishop]

Gorgeous. Wait, Schiaparelli is us? Yeah. Like, if you see us, you go, those are Schiaparelli girls.

Wait, we need to be in Schiaparelli together.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Shoot.

[Des Bishop]

Okay. Love you guys. Bye.

[Hannah Berner]

I've always been a probiotic girly, because someone once said somewhere that it would help with my UTIs.
