[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes Honey.

[Giggly Squad Host]

We had a correspondent on the ground floor. This is a sports podcast. We used our own business credit card. We put it on the business. We sent Paige to the Super Bowl. Paige, what did you see on. On the game day? What did you. This is my sportscaster voice. What did you.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Thank you so much for putting me on the ground in the field working.

[Giggly Squad Host]

The gigglers need to know what was the vibes?

[Correspondent Paige]

What was.

[Giggly Squad Host]

What was your opinions?

[Paige DeSorbo]

You know what? It's so funny because the whole game, people were, like, so hyped about it and all this stuff. And, like, I couldn't really focus till after halftime because that's when I got my TikTok, you know? And I was like. And once I got my TikTok, I was like, okay. And what's going on again? What are we doing here?

[Giggly Squad Host]

It was perfect.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Thank you.

[Giggly Squad Host]

It was perfectly executed.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I thought it was, like, equal parts funny, equal parts like, she's here. Here we go.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I do think you're. You're kind of like, look, I'm the fat ass community. And you're kind of taking advantage of that for your own sense of humor. I don't want to say that you're.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Coming for your brand, but also, she.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Literally goes, clap if you have a fat ass, and I'm gonna start clapping. And I was like, that would be hilarious if.

[Paige DeSorbo]

If I did it.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No, no, I did it. No, I'm like, she has been doing Pilates. Maybe there's a fat ass that I haven't seen. No, I'm just kidding. You have. You have the perfect little booty. The perfect little booty.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wait. It's so funny because I actually, like, met a real sports reporter. This woman, Diana Rossini. I think she's on.

[Giggly Squad Host]

A lot of Italians are good at, like, Tina Servacio.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It's because we can talk, honey. We can talk.

[Giggly Squad Host]

They can talk. Put me on the field. I'll talk to some motherfuckers.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And I literally was chatting with her, and I was like, quick question. When did you, like, learn about sports?

[Giggly Squad Host]

What did she say?

[Paige DeSorbo]

She was just like, oh. Like, well, I went to college for broadcast journalism. And then, like, I just, like, went into sports. And she was like, you don't really have to know, like, every single thing. And I was just like, oh, okay.

[Giggly Squad Host]

As someone who wanted to be a sports broadcaster before all my dreams died, I. I know that there's, like, different types of commentators. Like, there's like, the one who's just vibes. Like, it's like, welcome back. And you're Supposed to, like, look happy, excited. And then there's the color commentator who tends to be like a former athlete or someone who's like, knows a lot. So your job is to, like, ask them what people might be wondering, like, so why do you think the quarterback made that decision? I'm obsessed with it. Also, Erin Andrews. I just have to shout out, aaron, do you know Erin Andrews?

[Paige DeSorbo]

I mean, I don't know her personally, but like, yes.

[Giggly Squad Host]

She's like, iconic and has been like, that girl.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. For years.

[Giggly Squad Host]

She's 46.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wait, I'm obsessed.

[Giggly Squad Host]

She's gorgeous. She's just running. She's the one mill the field at the end of the game that was like.

[Paige DeSorbo]

She's the one that, like, asks them what they're gonna do, and then they say they're going to Disney World. Maybe she does that every year. Yeah, Disney World with the marketing. Like, what a smart.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Walt Disney actually froze that in his contract. Let's talk about what you want to talk about, which is.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay, I'm just gonna put it out there. I do think for the super bowl specifically, and also actually, maybe even not just the super bowl, there needs to be some type of fashion correspondent. For what? The boys. What? The men are boys. I was correct the first time. What the boys are wearing, because. What's going on?

[Giggly Squad Host]

No, wait. Some of them. Some of them, though, ate it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Ate it up. Ate it up with the spoon. I don't want to shock anyone, but DeAndre on the Chiefs walked in with a full mink coat in 80 degree weather. And I was like, for the looks.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I follow that man.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No, some of them were wearing, like, Louis Vuitton.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. They come in with their bags. I'm like, what'd you put in there? Would you put in your merch?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Because it's funny. It's funny because I saw there's all the correspondence. They put the men, like the big men in their suits all. I mean, it's the gayest I've ever seen. But anyway, it was a drag show. It was a drag show. Like when they were coming out with like all the sparklers and the. It was just. Okay, let's just call it what it is. And then Tom Brady had, like, full contour and everyone was like, this is drag.

[Paige DeSorbo]

He was also wearing, like a million dollar watch or some bullshit.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And it was Tom Brady's face card. Never declines. Has never declined in the history. He was stunning.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

But I do have to say it needed a girl somewhere in there to talk about the outfits because also, like, when girls show up in outfits at these award shows, we get questions asked, how long to take you? What did you eat today?

[Paige DeSorbo]

What's. How'd you match that?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Who? What stylist? These guys walk in, no accountability for their. No.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Well, that's what it is. It's zero accountability. And that's why they think they can get away with it. And then we have the. And then we have the trickle down effect. So soon we're going to be seeing Chad in a full 70s outfit out in the bar and we don't need it.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I don't think. I do hope trickles down. The bell bottom jeans, the boot cut, bell bottom, Kendrick Lamar jeans. I want to see men in middle America wearing that with a straight face.

[Paige DeSorbo]

There is nothing I love more than a short king being the villain. You know, it's just like, well, when.

[Giggly Squad Host]

It comes to men, they usually are. Yeah, that's true.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, that's true.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No, but he's adorable.

[Paige DeSorbo]

He's adorable. We'll put him in our pocket. So well executed. I thought it was a great halftime show. SZA is just like angelic.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Wait, can we discuss Travis Kelsey's outfit?

[Paige DeSorbo]

I just, I just.

[Giggly Squad Host]

People were doing before and afters before he met Taylor and after. I personally, I think it's red flaggy. Like whenever we all know from our end, whenever you look at a phase where you completely changed yourself for a man, you were like, oh, I was going through something.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Granted, maybe this is who he's always been, but he changed himself the last 20 years to pretend he was a white rapper.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Right, Right. He had a very different swag.

[Giggly Squad Host]

There was actually a funny video saying how like every now and then he tries to dress kind of like swaggy. It's like him revolting against Taylor. But I do have to say the funniest video of the whole night was he was just wearing his top after the super bowl leaving. And people were like, that was a Super bowl party winning outfit. Like his sparkly shirt and it was giving walk of shame after a bad hookup.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I would say after Halloween, specifically. Like, there's nothing worse than the walk of shame after Halloween. Because you're like, okay, well, I'm not a fucking nurse anymore.

[Giggly Squad Host]

There's no way this outfit could fit.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No. And his was like 70s disco. Also, I don't love a burnt orange.

[Giggly Squad Host]

You know, like porn. I do have to say it was good. It was. People didn't want to say. They didn't want to say the P word.

[Paige DeSorbo]

They didn't want to say because it was a family show. Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And there was must. There was a mustache involved. But I do like that he. Look, I like Travis. I don't want to like Travis, but.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I know I like Travis.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I like him. I like that he commits to the bit. I liked how sad he looked on the field. They kind of turned me on in a weird way. Just like him being defeated and empty and sad.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I was like, I love all the tiktoks of like all the boys, like really watching the game and it being like the Barbie song. Like, what was I made for? Because, like, this is. This is their girlhood, you know, this is their day. And. And I love to see it.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Yeah. I saw a lot of the, like, guys being emotional where it showed them, like freaking out. But it's like, look, they're just passionate. They're being passionate just like we are.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, no, it's. There's something about this super bowl that like, it's so cute. I'm like, you guys, you work so hard and like, now is your moment. I loved when the Eagles were winning so, so badly that they put in their second string and it's like, yes, now they all got to play. Like, you know, I love that.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No, I. Everyone's like, dreams are coming true. Like, it's very, very cute.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I will say this. Mads Mitch on who we Love on TikTok.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Hysterical.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Hysterical.

[Giggly Squad Host]

She's like a little genius. Like, she speaks so fast and so funny. I have to like slow it down to keep up with her.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I must have. She needs to have a. She needs to have a podcast, does she not?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Should we put her on our non existent network?

[Paige DeSorbo]

She would be my first hire for sure.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Okay, you're hired.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Hired, Hired.

[Giggly Squad Host]

She's like, I don't want to be associated with you guys.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I literally would never work for you guys. That's an HR violation and we get it. No, we do. But she did a whole video where she was just like, there's something about. I love that the team that. Where the kicker was like, hey, your wife should be in the house, like lost. And the quarterback for the Eagles has an all female like team. Like, his agent is like a 35 year old woman who just like crushes and yeah, there was something just about it that. I just love it. And there was like an interview with Jalen and he said they were like, oh, you have like an all female team or something. And he. He kind of was like confused by the question. He was like, well, I just like, I looked for like, who could get the job done. And then, like, it was them. And he was just like, yeah. And I was just like, oh, I love.

[Giggly Squad Host]

He's just. He's been nailing it. And he's also like. Because every now and then when I start liking a guy, like an answer, I go, do I like him or is he just good looking?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

So I stopped, I stepped back, and I said, no. I actually did like his answer, but I did test myself.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You did the inner work and you thought, no, I will support a man in this situation.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Someone did say, because the. The kicker, Harrison Butler, who I accidentally picked for my fantasy football team because it was automatic and I didn't know and I hope I don't get canceled because of that. And I didn't even have to say it out loud now, but I did. Yeah, he. Because I want to be transparent. He. He said, like, women shouldn't work and they should have babies. And then his team. I don't think he kicked. Maybe he kicked one or two field goals because his team barely scored touchdowns. They were like, oh, maybe you shouldn't work.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe you should have stayed home and let her go back to her job.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Now, you guys, this wasn't even the beginning of the. Okay, this was the beginning of the pod. But, like, when I tell you our notes are out of fucking control. We had too much stuff going on this week. Where do you even want to begin?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wait, I want to begin at. I went to the Christian Siriano show. I sat next to Julianne Hough, which I just, like, I never know what to say to, like, a really famous.

[Giggly Squad Host]

People, because they're either really cool or they have no idea who you are.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, she was. She was so cool. But I like, I was like, I'm not gonna sit next to her and not say anything. I just, like, awkwardly touched her arm and she turned to me and I was like, sorry, that might have been invasive. I just wanted to say, like, I'm a huge fan and like, whatever. And she was like, oh, my God, thank you so much. And then like three seconds later, she looked at me and she said, your hair is perfect. And I was just like, thank you so much.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Wait, I love that interaction because you. You can do that to someone. Like, you can take your little dainty, long, thin finger. I literally daintily see if I touch someone, they'd be like, get your hoof off of me. Get your dirty hood.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It was the lightest touch ever. I was just like, you do it.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I could never. I can never. They'd Be like, you just punched me in the arm. Ow. Also, no one's ever turned to me and been like, your hair is purple. Wait, so we're going to the Michael Kors show tomorrow, and everyone's nervous, and by everyone, I mean me. We have to see if Michael notices this time around, he remembers you.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wait, I have another funny story from Christian Siriano. First of all, I met him for the first time the day before the show because he let me. He, like, said that he would dress me for the show. So I, like, went to the showroom, pick something out. And here's the thing about me. If you're working with me or I, like, am working with you for something, I'm decisive. Like, you're not going to spend a lot of time with me. You have shit to do. I have to do. I walked into the showroom, he showed me one dress. I said, I really don't even need to try it on. I know that's the dress. You have things to do. I'm going to get out of your hair. He was amazing. But I sat next. On the other side of me was, her name is Bronwyn from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which I haven't watched this season. But I know that people keep tagging us in things together because we, like, she has a bob. And, like, if you have a bob, it's just like, you're that girl, so whatever. So we, like, start chatting, and so we go. And she's lovely. And we go backstage after the show, and she's standing next to me, and I see this woman standing in front of us, and I go, oh, my God, that's Natasha Bedingfield. And, like, everything in my millennial body was just like, oh, my God, that's crazy. And Natasha, like, turns, and of course, I'm like, natasha, I like, you're the best.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Like, I gotta put a punk. I love sunshine. I gotta love she. Please get away from me.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And I'm like, oh, my God, I'm such a fan. She's like, oh, my God, thank you. And then all of a sudden, Bronwyn turns to her and goes, hi. I don't know if you remember me, but you performed at my wedding.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And I was just like, wait, what the fuck? That's some rich people shit.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, that's some rich people shit. I was like, are you fucking kidding me right now?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Also, I love that she assumed she forgot her. She's like, I know you do a lot of weddings. You're the wedding.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I'm like, circuit I think she's not out here doing bot mitzvahs.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Natasha is out here right now. Because when I went to the Amy Schumer kind of pregnant premiere, Natasha just.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Walked away to talk about.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Which you need to talk about. Side note, the name Bronwyn.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I've never heard this as a dumb New Yorker. I've never heard of such a name until it was real Housewives of O.C. wasn't there Bronwyn Burke?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. Yeah, there was a Bronwyn.

[Sponsor]

Oh, yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I thought I. Is this a common name in the West Coast?

[Paige DeSorbo]

I don't. I don't know.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I've never. I've never. I've never.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Why are we European when it comes to anywhere other than the state of New York? I was with a bunch of New Yorkers in New Orleans, and no one could say beignet. I was like, guys, we gotta get it together, okay? They already know we're torn.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Give me the big nets. The big nets. No, I can't pronounce anything. And they can't even pronounce. It's supposed to be, like, New Orleans. It's not New Orleans.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It's not. I do.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Not New Orleans.

[Paige DeSorbo]

But New York is so hot there.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I bet. Well, also. Also, that's nice. Like, imagine if it was freezing, and then all the football players, their little fingers would be cold.

[Paige DeSorbo]

But the game was in a dome. I don't. Why is the word dome sexual?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Very sexual.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Very sexual. I don't.

[Giggly Squad Host]

It was basically the sphere in Las Vegas, which we're gonna perform soon. No, I'm just kidding. That seems like you have to be literally getting nauseous. I think you'd have to be high. Yeah. Talk about the beta. They would have to put beta blockers up your asshole.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. No, I needed an iv.

[Giggly Squad Host]

So I get a message of an invite to the kind of pregnant premiere, which I was very excited about because DEZ goes way back with Ursula Carlson, who's hysterical in it. She's a South African comedian who's, like, huge. And.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wait, who does she play?

[Giggly Squad Host]

She plays the. The dean. Not the dean. The. What are they? The one who's vaping the whole time?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes, yes.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I mean, she's seen Stealer. Incredible.

[Paige DeSorbo]

She's so funny.

[Giggly Squad Host]

So I asked Haley. Not Haley Bieber, my other best friend Hailey, to come to the premiere. And we sit down. Jerry Seinfeld's behind us.

[Sponsor]

Stop.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And of course, I'm in the corner, and Haley's, like, closest. So I'm like, haley, I'm going to need you to shut the fuck up right now. And I need you to listen to everything that.

[Paige DeSorbo]

This man loves to chat.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Haley loves to talk. She quickly forgot I told her that. That she was on observing duty. And she's like, do you just want to switch seats with me? And I'm like, no, that's way too obvious. So as we're having this discussion, Chris Rock sits. Well, first of all, okay. A woman sits down next to Haley, and she's talking, and she keeps talking about her husband Paul, and she's talking to Jerry Seinfeld. So we're like, okay, who's Paul? So we're, you know, we're doing our girl or researching Paul McCartney.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Oh, McCartney. So then we're just. We don't know what to do. And I'm like, haley, don't. Whatever you think you're gonna do, don't do. Don't do it. Don't do it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Haley just immediately starts singing.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No. Like, she's. She's also like. Either I feel like people. She either says something and people are like, she's the cutest ever, or she'll, like, trip and fall in her face, and everyone will be like, is she okay? Like, she's just always gonna have something. It's never boring with Haley. So I'm immediately like, okay, brace yourself. Then Damon Wayans Jr. Who's in the movie, sits in front of us. Then she starts freaking out because apparently she's, like, the biggest New Girl fan ever. So I'm like, okay, you didn't.

[Paige DeSorbo]

New Girl is the best show ever.

[Giggly Squad Host]

It's the best show ever. But, like, she. She's not reacting to. Did I tell you Chris Rock sits next to us, too?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

So we're. We're in a hot zone, right?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And I'm just like, haley, just listen to what they say. I want to hear everything. And she's yapping about. Who knows what she was yapping about? Then Adam Sandler walks in. It was a crazy energy. And I never go to the after party at these things because bitch is tired after a whole movie. Like, you're ready to go to bed. I go, we have to go. This after party, I have to support Ursula. So we walk in. Also, I've never met Amy before, and, like, as a comedian, you know, she is one of the. One of the. She's one of the girls that you.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Put on scene for us.

[Giggly Squad Host]

She sets the scene. And Trainwreck probably made me want to be a comedian in, like, the most. Not to be corny, but.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, that's girlhood.

[Giggly Squad Host]

That's girlhood. So I'm avoiding her, Right? As you should. But, like, literally going out of my way to avoid her.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It's out of respect.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Out of respect. I'm like, I don't want to ruin Amy Shooter's night. So this is her night that I don't. I don't want to be a ruiner. So we strike up a couple. Haley strikes up a conversation with Damon Wayans.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Obviously classic.

[Giggly Squad Host]

So we're talking to him. He's giving us advice. I make eye contact with Amy across the room. She points at me, and I'm like, what's happening? What's happening? We're doing musical comedy.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Turn around.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I turn. No, I did, like, a joke. Like, me. I'm, like, doing things I've never done. You know?

[Paige DeSorbo]

You're like, I'm a physical comedian now. I'm just, like, doing bits. Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Literally. So then she starts coming towards me, and I'm like, oh, my God, she's coming to say hi to me. She's coming say hi to me. This is crazy. And then as she's about to say hi to me, this little girl, this little bitchy girl who. She must have been eight or nine, I think she was in the movie, goes Amy. And Amy turns and starts talking to this girl.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And this is why we haven't had kids.

[Giggly Squad Host]

This girl, she never. This girl never even saw a train wreck like that. My dreams came true because the train wreck, I literally manifested to try to be a comedian. And this little girl who doesn't even pay taxes jumps in front of me. And I'm standing there just like, okay. And I'm looking at the girl like, are you kidding me? Stupid little.

[Paige DeSorbo]

She may even work a full 12 hours because it's illegal.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No, she thinks her mom's name is Mom. So I wait. I awkwardly wait for that, because obviously I'm not gonna, like, shove a little girl. But I was thinking about it. I thought about it. Then I was like, don't ruin Amy's big day. So then Amy turns to me and she says something. I don't know. And then I was like, you're the goat. Like, that was incredible. And then I get interrupted again by Adam Sandler.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I thought you're going to say Haley.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No. Haley, surprisingly, was, like, actually so good. But no, Adam Sandler comes up. But, you know, when you're. You shouldn't be in a conversation, but you can't get out, like, because of where we were standing. I was way too in. Where, like, if I tried to leave it. It would have been awkward. But I'm holding, and I don't. I've said three words to Amy, and I'm in the middle.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You have to, like, awkwardly smile, like. And laugh, but you're like, I can't. I'm not adding to this conversation, but I don't want to take away.

[Giggly Squad Host]

You cannot add. But you. Yeah. You don't want to make it awkward.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

So I'm standing there in between the two, and he's just like. I think he must have assumed I've, like, known Amy for a while because he was very comfortable with me being in that chat, and I was uncomfortable. I didn't consent to that. And he's looking at her, and he's. He produced the movie, so he's telling her, like, his honest advice and, like, complimenting her about how well the movie, like, did in the crowd. And I'm kind of smiling, and then he looks over at me, and he goes, yeah, I heard you laughing. And I was like, okay, okay. Let women take up space.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You know my brand of laughter?

[Giggly Squad Host]

It's called giggling.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It's giggling. Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

If you're a giggler, just say it. So then somehow I get out of it, but I'm. Then, you know when your heart rate's so high, you're like, yeah, I. Then I run into some gigglers, obviously. Like, whoever the prettiest girls are in the room, they're like, don't they.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Doesn't it calm you down when you're in a situation like that where you're like, oh, there's gigglers here. Like, I am safe with them.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No, they went up to me. They're like, hannah, we're so excited to meet you. And I go, guys, hold my hand. I'm not okay. And they were like, what happened? I'm like, amy Schumer, just talk to me. And then we're, like, crying. We're holding each other. And then, like, these teachers. One woman was a teacher, someone else. She played tennis. They start talking to me, and she's like, by the way, we're Amy Schumer's, like, childhood friends. So I'm freaking out. But again, I. I feel like avoiding Amy is just, like, the best thing you could do in these situations. Like, she really said hi to me. Like, we. We did great.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I've never been to one of these parties, but a circle starts to form.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Like a dance circle.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And that's when I started looking at Haley. I said, don't you dare.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, Haley's.

[Giggly Squad Host]

A dancer. Yeah.

[Paige DeSorbo]

She's a triple threat. She'll get in there and she'll sing and she'll dance, and she does the thing. She's. She's open to go to. Going to your bachelorette party. You guys can hire Haley.

[Giggly Squad Host]

She should be hired.

[Paige DeSorbo]

She's a value add. Okay.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Honestly. Always gets five stars wherever she goes. Five stars. But also, like, I've never seen a circle form and felt calmness. Like, it's like a laxative. Like, I'm like, I'm freaking out.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I actively back away. I'm like, I can't add anything to this. No.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Haley and I fully back away, and I get my camera to show. Like, I'm not in this. I'm filming it. Like, let me be the film.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I'm background.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I'm a journalist.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

At this point, I'm a hired journalist.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I'm stage crew. Okay. I'm not. I'm not talent right now.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I'm the pa. If he wants a snack, I'll bring it. Yeah. So Amy, like, jumps in the middle, and she does a funny dance. Then, like, some SNL guy, Alex Moffat, does a whole dance, and it's, like, starting to slow down, and Ursel is looking at me, and Haley starts whispering, and she's like, do the worm. And I was like, are you trying to get me canceled in this town? I'm barely getting accepted by the cool kids of comedy.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I'm barely getting by.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Barely getting by. Adam Sandler just made fun of my laugh. Like, I am teetering here.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I just want to get out of here with no one going home. Being like, did you see what Hannah did? Like, that's all I want. Can we talk about that? I'm trying to get out your conversation in the Uber. Going home.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wait, no. That's literally my whole life right now. I'm just like, as long as I can escape and not be a conversation after the fact, I'm good.

[Giggly Squad Host]

But I do have to say, the reason we both did reality TV is because for some reason, we cannot. We can't not be the.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Actually, I have another thing to say.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Hold my beer. So then Ursula's looking at me. And also, Ursula easily could have just been looking at me, but in my head, I was like, she wants me to do the worm. Because as I'm telling this story, I'm like, hannah actually said, do the worm.

[Paige DeSorbo]

That is so fudgeing you. It's. Oh, my God.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I was about to throw Ursula under the bus and be like, well, Ursula forced me and I'm like, ursula. I don't think she even knows.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I do the wor that is us in any situation. When a hot guy walks by and I'll be like, he's trying to fog. Like, he literally works here.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No. I have a whole thing made up in my head. And then. But this is the thing. Amy looks at me and she does a point again. Looking back now, I don't think she meant do the word. Maybe she meant, like, do you want to do something silly in the circle?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And as you know, like, I'm 0. 100, babe. Yeah, babe. Like, it's all or nothing with me. Okay. Like, yes or no? Yes or no? No.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Here's the thing. This is why, again, you can't do drugs. Peer pressure, it gets to you.

[Giggly Squad Host]

You're.

[Paige DeSorbo]

You are the easiest person to. Peer pressure. It's so crazy. Like, you could be adamant that you're not doing something, and one person is like, just try it. And you're like, okay.

[Giggly Squad Host]

But you know what's so cute about my friends? And when I say friends, I speak this very generically. Like, literally every friend I've known since college has never forced me to do cocaine.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Because I also think they're scared. They go, we don't want that kind of night.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It's not.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Do you realize no one's ever, like.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No one's ever asked. No one.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No one who knows me has ever looked me in the eye and been like, you should do cocaine.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Meet me in the bathroom. No way.

[Giggly Squad Host]

To the point that I didn't even know people were doing cocaine. Years later, I'm like, people take cocaine.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I'll never forget the time you called me after being at a party and being like, I think they were doing drugs. Yeah. It's 3am In New York City. Like, look alive.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I call Paige and I go, I don't want to start spread drama or gossip. I don't want to ruin anyone's reputation. They went in the bathroom, and they were there a little too long, and I don't think it was a tummy ache.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And they came out, and all of a sudden, they had crazy amounts of energy.

[Giggly Squad Host]

So life story short, Amy looks at me, does a point when I tell you this circle was like, Ted Sarandos was there. If you don't know who Ted Sarandos is, he, like, runs Netflix. Like, he's the guy that, like, if he doesn't like you, like, you'll never work in this town again. So I go in, do the worm, and everyone's like, you did it in your dress. And I'm like, have you seen the giggles? But to wear, I've done it in the most insane outfits. So I do two because I feel like, three. You're like. You're getting greedy.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Like, three. It's like, we get it. You can do the worm. So I did two, like, as if it was a mistake. Almost like I tripped, almost. And did the worm run off? People have footage, which I think I'm going to put in the newsletter, because I don't want it to make it. Like, I very. You know, when you watch. You watch yourself, and you're like, oh, my God, I'm annoying.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Like, I was all the time.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Yeah. So I run to Amy after, and she's like, yay. And then I run behind her and.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Just stand there like, it was your mom. And you're literally.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I was like, are we good? Is everyone. Are we still okay? Is anyone mad at me? And then I told Haley, I was like, we have to leave.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Anxiety, like, immediately hit, and you're like, I gotta get the best part.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I'm completely sober. Like, completely sober. Arguably. Maybe it was good because I was sober, because I was like, we need to leave. Because if I was drunk, I'd be.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Like, so, Amy, what'd you think of the worm?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Watch. Watch. Kind of pregnant. I did the worm at Amy's premiere for the Gigglers.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I watched it.

[Hannah Burner]

It's so good.

[Giggly Squad Host]

There's a lot of slapsticky comedy that, like, honestly, I'm not huge into the slapstick stuff. I almost, like, pissed myself in the movie theater.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Well, Amy can do a bit, you know, like, the back and forth is so good with all the characters.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I also. I had inside scoop from Damon Wayans Jr. He told me that she was legit doing her own stunts. Like, apparently, she fell down the stairs, like, eight times.

[Paige DeSorbo]

That's so.

[Giggly Squad Host]

You know, it's my dream.

[Paige DeSorbo]

She's literally your dream. Wait, can I also say the other lead, Brianne Howey, I love her. She's in Ginny in Georgia.

[Giggly Squad Host]

She's so good in it. She's gorgeous.

[Paige DeSorbo]

She's gorgeous. When I did the red carpet for People's Choice, I was so nervous, and she was, like, one of my first interviews, and when she was walking toward me, I, like, made a face as if, like, I knew her and was like, oh, my God.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Because you watch Ginny and Georgia.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, I love Ginny and Georgia. And so when she came up, I was like, oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Like, I don't know you like, but I'm Paige. Whatever. She was so nice to me that it literally, like, eased my anxiety on the red carpet. And this is before I knew about beta blockers, so I was like, so nervous.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Can you, can you believe you did that? Beta blockers?

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, no, no. Now I can't even go to a social event without a fucking beta blocker. I, like, pass them out to my friends. I'm like, pop this.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Well, the Grammys happened right after we recorded last time. I just had one question for you on a.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Like, I literally didn't watch anything of it.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I watched all of it, but I've already forgotten. Except the jellyfish hair.

[Paige DeSorbo]

What the is that?

[Giggly Squad Host]

So it's like Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga. A bunch of girls are doing this bang. That, like, cuts across. Billie Eilish. It cuts across.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Again. Leave it to the Brits. I don't think. I don't think that we.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No, leave it to. Unless you're a British rock star.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I mean, they could. Look, those girls can pull it off. I'm just telling the girls at home.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I don't need to be a sea creature. You know, I've got enough problems. I don't need to have a jellyfish hair.

[Giggly Squad Host]

We're drowning every day.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I'm trying to stay afloat every day. I'm gasping for air at all points. Wait, one other thing. I just had, like, I feel like, just your pack filled. I know, like, weekend.

[Sponsor]

Like, I'm just.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I had so much fun. Friday I did Cassie David came out with the movie called I love you Forever. It's so good. And, like, I didn't realize, like, it's an independent film. Like, her and her best friend from college wrote it and they, like, premiered it. I did, like, a little, like, moderation after with the actors. I'm obsessed with her, like, on a different level. I just, like, it's so rare to, like, meet people, especially, like, in your 30s, and just be like, hey, like, I'd like to be your friend. And, like, we kind of did that to each other without, like, being weird. Like, I was like, hey, like, if you, like, wanted to hang out again, like, I would, like, be down with it. I met her and her. Or I hung out with her and her sister and they're just, like, so cool and Pretty. And like, I love being around hot, funny, talented women. Like, it just makes me feel like I'm doing something right in my life where I'm like, yeah, you've have, you have a career. And I love it. You know, it's like, so good.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I do have to say, in my 20s, I did not decenter men. I'm gonna be so. I'm gonna be so honest with you guys.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I changed. I changed my fashion for them, you know, like, I, you, Travis, Kelsey. No, that's crazy.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I literally was like, for me to feel value. I want to be with a hot, tall, smart, funny man, and then I will feel complete.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I met this one reality.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I mean, granted, yes, I am married, and I will address that, and that is so nice. But to feel, and I need to call myself out on that because I pretend I'm not married, but I am. But I do have to say my fulfillment right now is like, I want people to see me and who I hang with and be like, oh, my God, she hangs with the smartest, coolest, hottest, most successful girls. And it's this weird thing that happens. I think you're 20s, we're all very scared. But in my 30s, whenever I see a hot, smart, successful girl, instead of thinking like, like, jealousy vibes, I'm immediately like, how do I. How do I make her talk to me? Like, I literally become creepy. Like, how do I connect with her? Because I want her in my circle of influence.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I so believe that saying where it's like, you are the sum of the five people that you surround yourself with. And I. And I only really believe it because if you do look back at your 20s and like, your mood and what you were doing and look at, like, who you were hanging out with, it's completely different. Like, yeah, now in my 30s, like, I love cutting a out. Like, I love, like, walking away and being like, you do not fulfill me. You're also not up to my standards. Like, I just like, no, I don't want to be associated with you.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I used to have friends who would, like, definitely put me down a lot, and I thought it was funny and I would lean into it because I'm. I'm self deprecating. But then I realized, like, oh, no, they actually are, like, holding me, like, suffocating me down underwater.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Holding you underwater?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Drowning me. Jellyfish style.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No. Why is this. Why is this episode water based?

[Giggly Squad Host]

This is a water based lubricant for your vocal cords so you can laugh with us.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Why is this underwater theme when it.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Cuts to Us just wearing goggles the whole episode. We're so stupid.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Why? Because we haven't talked in, like, four days?

[Giggly Squad Host]

No, I know.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Because I also feel like we're talking really fast.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I know I don't. I think I was gonna say I drink a lot of coffee, but it's literally 7pm and I'd be lying. But, no, I really am obsessed with. I want people to be like, oh, she's so cool. Look at her friend. And I know there was, like, in high school, people were like, oh, popular. I'm not talking about popular. I'm talking about this brain next to me is fascinating. And. And she thinks big and she sees me. Like, I don't know. It's just friendships. Ooh. Like, you deserve to be with someone you're excited to be friends with.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Here's the other thing I've realized. Like, I feel like women and people always talk about, like, oh, well, they, like, they have to be jealous of each other, and they have. Like, there's so much jealousy with, like. Like, between girls. I'm gonna let everyone in on a secret. Not when you're independently successful. Like, when Kazi asked me to moderate her panel, in what world would I be jealous that she put a movie out? I was like, oh, my God, how sick. I would love to be involved in your, like, prosperous career. Like, I would love to support you. Also, the movie that she put out is so, I think, so important, especially when. Because, like, we talked about being in, like, an abusive relationship. It's about an abusive relationship, but it's about a mentally and emotionally abusive relationship. And I feel like there's so many movies out there where it's like. It's so extreme. And it's like, oh, you're only in an abusive relationship if it's physical, which is so not true. Mentally, it can be so draining. Like, someone that's just, like, constantly.

[Giggly Squad Host]

You're not sure. You're always like, is it me? Am I the. Did I deserve that? So it's not as, like, clear.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I just think it's such a good message for young girls and, like, adult women too. Like, when I say young girls, I mean, like, early 20s dating, but, like, in your 30s too. Like, I watched it and I was like, oh, yeah, that is fucked up when someone does that to you.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Also side note about, like, finding friends who were, like, really cool, smart, funny, successful. A lot of these women, I found, have also been through something. So I just want to shout out anyone going through something right now because it means, like, I just Realized a lot of things I went through, if I didn't go through them, I literally wouldn't be where I am now, and I would not be as interesting. Like, I'd be boring as fuck. I have no lore. I'd have no lore. Can we focus on creating lore for yourself? Whenever anything fucked up happens, go the lore, the Lord, the people are gonna be talking about.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I. I feel like. I feel the same way. Like, I truly don't regret, like, anything in my 20s or, like, anything, because I'm like, wait, that changed me as a person. That, like, helped me get to where I am right now. Like, my perspective is different.

[Giggly Squad Host]

The only thing I regret is when I'm too hard on myself. Because looking back, you're just like, okay, girl, you were trying. Yeah, I'm trying. You're trying your best. You just need to drink some water. Wait. Shout out to my mom. She made me laugh so hard. Cuz DEZ has been gone. He's been in Dublin. So my mom swooped like. She was like, your husband's not home. You're hanging with mom and dad. And I was like, hell, yeah. As long as someone's getting dinner, you know? So we go to get dinner and we. My dad orders one of those, like, fish spaghetti dishes, you know, where it's like, angel hair with a ton of clams and scampi and whatever it is.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And he starts eating it with the little fork that you're supposed to put in the clam. And he starts, like, eating the pasta with it with a little fork. And my mom looks at me and she goes, I have the ick. I.

[Paige DeSorbo]

The way I was getting the ick from your husband, literally, because he's using.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And he's like, oh, it makes me, like, eat slower when I use the little fork. And I'm like, that is for the muscles.

[Paige DeSorbo]

He's literally Cher from Clueless. He's like, if I cut it up.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Into little pieces, you're chewing it and spitting it out. I'm like, dad, what are you doing? And then I'm sitting there, my mom's rolling her eyes. I'm dying, laughing. I just think, like, it just made me. So. My mom says so many, like, things that we would say on Giggly Squad, and it just makes me really happy. And then I tried to pitch her because she was on. She went on burner phone with me last week. We did one on Karma. You guys should listen. And she was like, really good. And I was like, should you and Kim start a giggly mom Podcast.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Wait, it should be a podcast where they just recap what we talked about the previous week and say, like, their opinions on it.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I do that anyway. And then they just.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, they just do it in our. In our frickin text messages. Do you ever. Sometimes. This is going to sound, like, a little mushy. Do you ever, like, sometimes think about your life and, like, like, in a way where you're proud of yourself and then you get emotional because you're like, oh, my mom taught me to be like that. And it's like, I would have. I wouldn't be like this. Like, my mom has called me so many times, like, over this past, like, couple months or like, whatever, and just been like, I'm so proud of you and, like, your demeanor and, like, how you like what you say and how you stand up for yourself. And I will, like, get emotional because I'm just like, wait, but like, you taught me how to be like that. And that's so sweet. Like, I'm just obsessed with them.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Also. You don't even know. The, like, didn't even teach you. It's just who you are. Because.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Can I say, like, a really sad thought I thought about.

[Sponsor]

Okay.

[Giggly Squad Host]

About parents.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I think it should be illegal for, like, if they're over 50, to have to interview for a job because I was just envisioning, like, my mom or my dad in a job interview and, like, getting rejected and like, like, sorry, that's my mother. That is my father. You cannot. He's perfect. They are. They raised me. You don't think they're capable of this job? Like, I'm sorry. Imagine someone telling your dad, no. Like, I know your dad is an entrepreneur, but imagine someone interviewing your dad and being like, sorry, you're not good enough for this company. I will burn your small business to the ground.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, there's something. This is why I'm actually scared for us to become moms. Because I feel like I'm going to be vicious if someone's rude to my parents or, like, does something to them. I'm like, I literally always say, she better hope she never fucking runs into me. Like, there's no one I want to stick up for more than my mother and my father. Like, I. I feel like they actively are. Like, don't let Paige find out about this and don't. Don't let me know about it.

[Giggly Squad Host]

See, it's funny because I'm not the Scorpio in my family. DEZ is the Scorpio. So if any. If Des finds out Anyone, my mom, my dad, anyone's upset, he has it handled. So shout out to dez, our provider, our protector.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Just like so.

[Giggly Squad Host]

But what I did tell myself, if I'm going to be a parent and my kid goes through something or something fucked up happens, we have to normalize adversity. Let your kid have adversity. Yeah, I'm going. Honestly, I'm leaning towards the 80s model. Let them, let him figure it out.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Let him go nap and come home when the street lights come on.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Exactly. Because I feel like we were the helicopter parents where they like made sure everything was perfect. And it's like, obviously you know, there's pros and cons, but I'm kind of like, you're doing chores. Yeah, you're. When something bad happens, I go, and that's life.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah, we're picking ourselves up.

[Giggly Squad Host]

We're picking ourselves up. And then they're stronger. Because you don't want to have a kid who's spoiled or who have you seen? I've been on mom talk for no reason.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I'm not pregnant, I swear. I've just ended up on mom talk somehow.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I very much grew up with a mom that was like, and suck it up. And a lot of the men out here did not. Like, there are so many times in my life I want to look at the men and be like, suck it the fuck up.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I do have to say it's so people talk about like meeting the parents and like obviously you want the parents to like you, but even more so you want to see like how they parent him because like you just need to have similarities in that or like there's a lot of people you're going to meet so many people who you are attracted to or you have chemistry with. But like, like you're not going to parent a child well together. You're not going to have day to day like financial decisions to get. Like there's so many things that make people good boyfriend, girlfriend. That doesn't make them good husbands.

[Hannah Burner]

[Giggly Squad Host]

If you heard about the Japanese electric salt spoon.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Jesus, that sounds.

[Giggly Squad Host]

It's not a vibrator.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Oh.

[Paige DeSorbo]

It hugs you from behind.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Code Giggly. No. So okay, this, this spoon, there's something electric about it that, okay, it makes everything taste saltier but you don't actually add salt. So if you have like high sodium, it just like they're on another level.

[Paige DeSorbo]

The Japanese live in a 30:25. I mean I sometimes get on Japanese tick tock the they have in their houses.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I'm like, they're fixing problems I didn't even know we had.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, we had wait. That's a great way to put it. I'm like, wait, that is a horrible task. And you guys don't even think about it. Like, how did you.

[Giggly Squad Host]

We didn't even know that needed to be fixed.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Right? No, they're, they're truly ahead of their time. It's crazy. Can we get it? Like, have you seen it? You've seen it one on Tick Tock.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Yeah. I also, we have a lactate event tomorrow. Shout out lactate. And I was making, I thought it'd be cute to make a banana split for a promo video. And I couldn't get it to like, you put a banana and you put the ice cream on it. Like couldn't get it to stay. And people in my DMs were like, Hannah, you're supposed to cut the banana in half, you dumb piece of shit.

[Paige DeSorbo]

So you know, I'm gonna say something I've never been a fan of the banana split because I just think it's. It's messy. Like, I saw it as a child and, like, my clean girl aesthetic was like, you're doing a lot.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Not on brand for you.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, not on brand. I'm like, you're a vanilla cupcake with.

[Giggly Squad Host]

A little pink frosting.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I'm like, you're mixing three colors. Get out of here. Like, no.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Also, the textures are all over the place. I more prefer, like, a bruleed fruit. If a fruit's gonna be involved, let's make it.

[Hannah Burner]

What's a bruleed?

[Giggly Squad Host]

You know, like, I mean, I'm probably. I didn't go to French culinary school, but I feel like it's. When you put.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Is that a thing?

[Giggly Squad Host]

French culinary school?

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, brulee. Oh, like a creme brulee?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Yeah. You know how they brulee it with the fire, like, you got a brulee?

[Paige DeSorbo]

I never realized that's what it's called.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Well, now I have to Google it, because I know there's like, a 50% chance I'm wrong. Is that Daphne in the background?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Brulee. Banana brune. Banana brulee. Okay. It's a thing.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, okay. I.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Also wrong. I think you have to put sugar on it or something. No, Like, I'm a. People don't know that I'm a chef.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Do you know that my mom actually has one of those little mini torches?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Of course she does.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Of course she does. By her nightside bed stand in case anyone tries to fuck with her. No, she hasn't bruleed in a while, but she can. She can brulee all around.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Did she tell you I got her flowers?

[Paige DeSorbo]

She did. That was so sweet of you.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No, I do have to say, what was so funny about it was she'd messaged me. She was like, these flowers are perfect for my house because all I did was order the flowers I knew you would like, because I know it's an all white aesthetic, and I got it like, a little gold, a little white. It was perfect. So I was perfect. I feel like I got Kim points there. I was really happy about that.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, that was so sweet of you.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Points for me. Did you watch Apple cider vinegar?

[Hannah Burner]

Hannah?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Did you watch the whole thing?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes.

[Giggly Squad Host]

How? I feel like it's a show that, like, it's meant for both of us.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, literally, when you texted me, I was like, okay, yeah, I actually have nothing to watch right now.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Where do we begin? Where do we begin?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay, it's on Netflix. You guys have to watch it. It's six. Six episodes. It's about this Australian girl who basically, like, tried to single white female. This influencer who was a, like, health influencer because she had cancer. She was trying to, like, heal herself naturally. It just so proves how, like, on the Internet, people will say anything for sympathy because it's just like, comments, comments. Like, this girl literally lied and said she had brain cancer.

[Giggly Squad Host]

This girl lied and some Aussie. We have a lot of Aussie gigglers. They were DMing me saying, like, when it first came out that she might be, like, lying. And she was raising all this money for charity for other people with cancer. This, like, kid who needed surgery and the money never got to them. So they wrote up that she's basically, like, not putting the charity money where it should be. And apparently all of Australia was like, how dare you try to bring a woman down. This cannot be true. We love her. She's perfect. Leave her alone. And then it came out that she was about brain cancer because she told everyone to buy her cookbook and her app because she basically said, my diet healed cancer. And it was very interesting also in this day and age, kind of. Because, yeah, the Internet is so crazy. Where this other girl is basically, you know, she did some research about, you know, some cold place where you go and you drink juices and your cancer goes away. And, like, obviously, we all want to solve things, but it just showed that there's so much misinformation online and, like. And granted, there's so much up stuff with the healthcare industry, but we have to trust that, like, we're trying to cure cancer and there isn't, like, a secret weed that you can put up your. That's gonna do it. Because if there was, hopefully we'd know what it was. So the documentary is coming out. Oh, next week. Yeah.

[Paige DeSorbo]

On Netflix too. Or somewhere on Netflix.

[Giggly Squad Host]

On Netflix. So we are hooked in. We.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And that's the girl that played Anna Delvey.

[Hannah Burner]

No, no.

[Giggly Squad Host]

But it looks just like her. And you know what I thought? I thought she probably was up for that role. And she would have been great as Anna Delvey. Her name is Caitlin Debbie, I believe. Caitlin Debbie. She was in Booksmart also. She's. Yes, she's amazing. I don't think she's Australian.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Oh, well, she did a perfect Australian accent.

[Giggly Squad Host]

But I also could have made that up.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay. And we'll fact check that, because you know what?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Actually, she might be. And she's just been American in every other movie.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And it could be that, too.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Do you know who's not American?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Who?

[Giggly Squad Host]

Isla Fisher.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I think I knew that.

[Giggly Squad Host]

She's Australian.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

How did you know?

[Paige DeSorbo]

I always thought that Isla Fisher and I thought Isla Fisher and Amy McAdams were the same person for a very long time.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Maybe that's why I thought she was American. No, Isla Fisher. That's crazy. Like, that's Australian. People do not get enough praise for their American accents.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, they don't. I mean, Margot Robbie is Australian. Let's take a moment of silence for them.

[Giggly Squad Host]

The pod just becomes one long moment each week.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I think we do need to do a moment of silence for people because, like, we need it. They need it.

[Giggly Squad Host]

They do.

[Paige DeSorbo]

They need thoughts on prayer.

[Giggly Squad Host]

We're quiet. Let's be quiet. Okay, I have one final note.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I wrote my college Edu address. Ruined my life.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Okay.

[Giggly Squad Host]

You didn't go to college. No, I'm just kidding. Did you have a college EDU address?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. Yes. I had an email at the college I attended. Everyone's always trying to act like I didn't freaking go to college. Guys. I went. I had an email.

[Giggly Squad Host]

She went to Jimmy Fallon's college.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Shout out Saint Rose that my cousin went to also. It's true. I was just with you.

[Paige DeSorbo]

But what was your college email?

[Giggly Squad Host]

It was hburnerisk.edu for Wisconsin, and that's what I used for, like, my Facebook and my Apple ID and my everything. And then no one tells you that after college you have to change it because they shut it down. So, like, I went years not being able to log in to my Apple ID because it was Edu and, like, I couldn't get into it to change it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

And now we know why. You don't believe in Bluetooth or WI Fi. You were traumatized.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And that's the pipeline.

[Paige DeSorbo]

All of this.

[Giggly Squad Host]

That's the pipeline.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

And I don't believe in mail.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, you don't. No, no, I get that. I think mine was just Sorbo P. Some numbers at St. Rose. Edu.

[Giggly Squad Host]

How many disturb ops were there at your school with 500 students?

[Paige DeSorbo]

You never know.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Independent school. Shout out. Because you get more attention for people who need it.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yes. You get individualized attention where they say, we don't think this is for you.

[Giggly Squad Host]

How many classes did you skip? Skip?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Never. Never skipped class. I was not a class skipper.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Really?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Well, because I was like, if I skip one, I'm never coming back. You'll literally. I'll get a taste of that freedom and I'll never see my face again.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Me with smoking cigarettes. Yeah. Cocaine.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Yeah. That's how I felt about school. I'm like, you guys, you know me too well.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Oh, my God. I slept through most classes, which is on brand, but I was there.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I even would do like early classes so that I was like, done by like 1:00. I was a different person. I don't know who that.

[Giggly Squad Host]

You know that nowadays kids just chat. GPT the lesson plan.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I mean, I feel like I was doing that years ago, too. I was ahead of my freaking time, you guys.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Wow. That was a lot of information. Wait, what an actor. We've never done so many things. And tomorrow we're. We're going.

[Paige DeSorbo]

I feel like Kevin Hart in the Rock. I think we just. Oh, my God.

[Giggly Squad Host]

It's giving. What's her name? The wizard of Oz girl who starred in the wizard of Oz?

[Paige DeSorbo]

Ariana Grande.

[Giggly Squad Host]

No. Julie.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Julie Andrews. No. What's her name? What is her freaking name? You were just talking about her.

[Giggly Squad Host]

I'm trying to do a callback.

[Paige DeSorbo]

Why do I keep. I keep thinking of the most insane people. I want to say. Cyndi Lauper. No, it's on the tip of my tongue. What is her name? Hannah.

[Giggly Squad Host]

Judy Garland. We Judy Garland ourselves this week.

[Paige DeSorbo]

No, I need to take a beta blocker.

[Giggly Squad Host]

We love you guys so much. Thank you for giggling. We'll giggle with you later. Bye.
