Hannah
Sup, Gigglers?
Paige
Gary, fix your WI fi.
Hannah
Manifest that shit. We can't be managed.
Paige
I mean, the day just got away from me.
Hannah
What's up, my garden gnome? Gigglers. Would you ever have a garden gnome if you had an outdoor area?
Paige
Maybe if it was like, in the shape of kitty.
Hannah
Cute.
Paige
Thoughts on, like, legitimately taxidermy?
Hannah
I'm out.
Paige
Like, when butter passes, God forbid, in the year 2052.
Hannah
No, I'm putting her in a freezer and I'm Walt Disneying her so that when the technology works.
Paige
Why isn't it more like 3D printers? Why aren't people taxidermying their pets more?
Hannah
Because it's creepy.
Paige
Is it though?
Hannah
Cuz I would cry every day if I saw butter stuffed with cotton balls. You're so Nashville coated right now. You're like, just taxidermy. You're. You know what you are.
Paige
That's the meanest thing you've literally.
Hannah
I'm so Stagecoach right now.
Paige
That is the meanest thing you've ever said to me.
Hannah
It's a Monday and I'm coming so hard for your soul.
Paige
You just said I was Nashville coded, which, you know is the number one place on Earth that if someone said you, you have to move there, I'd cry.
Hannah
Number two. Oh, my God. Okay, well, don't start trying to convince me to taxidermy things.
Paige
Could you imagine how they'd hate me in Nashville? I have an announcement.
Hannah
I love announcements.
Paige
I'm just like, really? Since Khloe Kardashian, like, Har Gate, I've just been, like, really into my products recently. And everybody knows Sunday nights is when I do my hair mask and I do all my things. But I actually did my hair mask on Friday, so, like, my days are a little off anyway.
Hannah
We have such different weekends.
Paige
So last night I, like, showered, was doing all my stuff and, like, blue dry my hair, and I was like, you know what? I'm going to throw a little wave in here. Like, I'm gonna, like, do my hair a little so that tomorrow morning on Giggly Squad Zoom, I don't look a mess with my hair.
Hannah
Okay, you could have texted me, but continue.
Paige
So I. Sunday is like, when I look at all my stuff that I've, like, gotten delivered, like, all the products that I've, like, never tried before, and they're like, all in a pile. And I'm like. So there was this hair thing, and it was called a Bondi Boost, like, heat curler.
Hannah
Yes, I've heard of them.
Paige
And I was like, okay, Let me just like give this a whirlwind. I was shocked. Honey, honestly, I hate that I'm about to say this. It's everything I've been wanting my. It's everything I've been thinking that my Dyson has been doing but hasn't been doing. I don't know if I ordered this. Then here's the other thing. Then I like, try, try a product and I'm like, I can't remember if I ordered this or if someone found your address or someone found my address and sent it to me. Because I've been looking at this thing in a box for at least a month and a half. And I'm like, I'm gonna try it.
Hannah
What's the price point?
Paige
I have no idea.
Hannah
She goes, everything's free in your head.
Paige
If it's on my glass desk, it was free.
Hannah
It was free. What does it do?
Paige
It's basically just like a heated round brush. But I had blow. I blew dried my hair so it was like kind of straight but like kind of puffy and. And it just looked like I got a blowout. Like my ends looked very blowout ish the way I want my Dyson to do it, but it just never does it. And I think because I have fine hair anyway.
Hannah
So that was like people lost their jobs just then. Like that was crazy. You're like Kylie Jenner tweeting that Snapchat's over. Like, that's crazy.
Paige
Oh, also, I texted my friend Alexa last night and I said, I'm finally ready for micro needling. And she said, perfect, perfect. I will find you someone this week.
Hannah
So what made you think you were ready? Because I'll do it with you. Because I was scared I wasn't going to do it alone.
Paige
Well, I've just been looking up like I'm always looking at different, like things the girls are doing. And months and months ago someone was like doing, made a tik tok and was like, I don't get Botox. And she was like, may. She was in her 40s and she looks.
Hannah
I love how you're in full anti Botox algorithm now.
Paige
And she, well, she said, she was like, I don't get Botox, I don't get fillers. The only thing I do is I do micro needling. Micro needling once a month, which kind of seems like a lot.
Hannah
I always have stuff coming up that I have to like be in front of a camera for. I don't know how I ended up in this industry, but then I talked to someone Yesterday, and they were like, yeah, micro needling. You have to keep doing it. And it gets, like, more powerful as you keep doing it. Which does sound like a pyramid scheme.
Paige
However, one that I would fall into.
Hannah
I'll do it with you. Because if we're both going to look busted for, like, four days, that's more fun than me alone.
Paige
I don't even think that it's even that long of a turnover. Like, I truly think you get it done. You can't wear makeup, like, that night or that next day, but then you're fine.
Hannah
And then I had a dermatologist giggler in STEM message me and say, hey, if you have a really expensive product and you break out after some, sometimes it means it's like your skin purging. And I'm like, again, it's giving pyramid scheme. Like, you guys are just keeping me going.
Paige
Well, purging is something I've subscribed to.
Hannah
It's like, you've been purging for three years now.
Sponsor Voice
Yeah.
Paige
I'm like, okay, but my chin keeps purging.
Hannah
And final thought. You know when girls would be like, look how good my skin is because they just put, like, oil on it. And they're like, look how shiny. I'm like, yeah. Cause you put oil on it.
Paige
Okay. I'm actually having a really great skin day.
Hannah
I was going to say, you're very shimmery, what you put on it.
Paige
A giggler really stressed me out the other day.
Hannah
Oh, no.
Paige
Because I said on the POD last week, I was like, kitty's just been, like, a really obsessed with me the past couple of days. I don't know, like, what's going on? And a giggler DM me. And she was like, my cat did that a couple months ago. Like, would not leave me alone. And she goes, turns out I was pregnant. Now, look, I've read a lot of DMS before about people telling me about myself, and I'm like, that person's nuts. Like, I'm not giving it a second thought. Let me tell you something. I Uber eats a pregnancy test immediately. I don't know what I was overcome with, but I. Because then I. Then I go on my phone and I'm like, wait, I should have had my period. I was just with Taylor two days ago, and she said, oh, I'm getting my period in two days. And typically I'm like, a week prior to her. So I go on my phone and I'm like, oh, my God, I did miss my period. And then I look at Kitty and I'm like, were you gonna say anything?
Hannah
Kitty's like, I've given you every sign. I'm not hungry. I'm trying to say that you have something growing in you.
Paige
We.
Hannah
I'm trying to tell you, we don't
Paige
have the closet space. We don't have the room.
Hannah
Kitty's like, it's me or her. It's me or her. Pick us. Pick one of us.
Paige
The test was negative. And then I literally woke up the next morning with my period.
Hannah
She summoned it. Well, good for the goers for keeping you on your toes.
Paige
No, I was like, guys, I don't need the. Can I have a day?
Hannah
I do have to say I'm reading Lena Dunham's book, and there's, like, about four chapters.
Paige
How are you gonna be reading this for?
Hannah
Well, I took a little break, and then DEZ and I read at night. Like, I was like, do you want to read your book? He was reading, like, Kafka or something. And we. And I was reading Dunham and. Wait.
Paige
Hannah, that is so freaking cute.
Hannah
Well, that's what my parents do. They read before bed.
Paige
Oh, my God. What nerds. My parents would never.
Hannah
But then we got competitive. I was, like, getting tired, but he was still reading. And I was like, keep reading his.
Paige
That's so you. That's so you.
Hannah
Well, at one point he was. Because I was like, I feel like it's too bright. And he's like, well, I have really small words on my book. And I was like, he's like, let me see your book. And he's like, they're small too. Yeah. Yeah. We're so competitive. I'm like, my words are littler than yours. But she talks for, like, four chapters about. She ends up getting her uterus taken out. Sorry, what? Spoiler alert. Cuz she has.
Paige
Why do we do this every morning? I can't just have a normal conversation with you before noon. It has to be, like, the most true, traumatizing thing I've ever heard in the past six months.
Hannah
And then she got her uterus removed. Have a great day. Good luck at school.
Paige
Why did she have to have her uterus? So she had a full hysterectomy.
Hannah
She had. Well, she had endometriosis. She had a lot going on. Then it was like another disease, whatever. But then it's also.
Paige
Wait, so she can't have children?
Hannah
Probably not herself anymore. But she talks about that whole, like, feeling. And the doctors were really, like, anti. Like, we can't take out your uterus. It's so it's like, what makes a woman? And she's like, yeah, but it's killing me. Like, why do you care more about my future child than my current resistance as a woman?
Paige
Right.
Hannah
But she also talks about how mentally, at one point they're like, are you happy? And she's like, what are you talking about? And they're like, if you're really upset and sad and stressed, it just kind of makes things worse.
Paige
So it's kind of like inside your body.
Hannah
Yeah, but then it's also like, aren't you upset because you are in pain? And then it's kind of this back and forth. So she talks about. About pain a lot. And it. But anyway, it got me thinking about how you have pain
Paige
just all the time. No, actually my UTI has been pretty good. Like I've been. I've felt it coming on a couple times and I've kind of told myself, no. No, it's not.
Hannah
Oh, so that's the answer. You actually have to just go, not today, Satan.
Paige
You just have to look in the mirror, have the time. I'm like, really? I don't have time to go to
Hannah
urgent care, say Bloody Mary three times in the mirror.
Paige
I'm almost at like six months, which is the longest I've ever gone since I'm 16 years old.
Hannah
Wait, that's crazy. I bet you didn't. You didn't do anything besides decide you don't want it anymore.
Paige
No, no.
Hannah
Oh, you know what it is? It's the. What is. What's the new hair wrap that you're using?
Paige
Bondi Boost? No, I take one oregano vitamin a day and 2D mannose cranberry supplements. But they're like, they're extra cranberry. Like they're the classic one. And then I've bumped it up a notch.
Hannah
Oh yeah. If you go to Paige's kitchen, she has like. I have 8 little diet of UTI meds.
Paige
I need my stuff.
Hannah
My Dyson. They're fucking expensive. It's like half of your rent is
Paige
a. Dyson's are really expensive.
Hannah
And because I'm in so many hotels and leaving everything, sometimes the cleaning people will come in and they like to put your hair stuff like straighteners or Dyson, they put it like away.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
Like they hide it. So obviously I love that. Yeah. But then when I'm packing, I'm not like opening cabinets to search for things.
Paige
Right.
Hannah
Then I have to call the hotel, they have to ship it to me. I've had to ship this Dyson all over America.
Paige
You know, it's interesting. Not interesting, but whatever. Because we go on my family vacation every year. One of, like, the biggest gripes of the family vacation is my mom hair. And she gets stressed about her hair because she has very naturally curly hair. And so, like, when we're on vacation and none of, like, the stuff works because we're in a different country, and she's always, like, stressed out about it, and I hate when she's stressed out about it. So I bought her a European Dyson, so now she can bring it on vacation with us.
Hannah
It goes, voila.
Paige
It says, okay, we'll do your hair now. Okay. Okay, I straighten it. Wait. Oh, my God. More things should just be in Italian.
Hannah
Yeah. Why isn't there an Italian Siri? She's always British.
Paige
No. Why isn't there an Italian?
Hannah
Would be like, what the are you doing?
Paige
Okay. No, not. I'm not looking that up. Illegal. No. Okay. Yeah.
Hannah
Why don't you yourself.
Paige
Wait. Petition for there to be an Italian Siri that bullies you.
Hannah
She'd be like, I'm at lunch. Do not ask me questions.
Paige
Yes, it's August. No working. Wait. Imagine Siri just, like, stopped answering. The whole month of August was like, see you in the fall, you stupid bitch. I don't know. Look it up yourself. I would love that.
Hannah
Google it.
Paige
You know, and I keep seeing on, like, my for you page, and. And for the past couple of months is, like, everyone talking about bringing 2016 back. Like, 2016 was so much fun. Like, people posting pictures, whatever. Well, I keep getting, like, the Beyonce Lemonade album. Like, oh, my God, it was 10 years ago. And, like, I don't know why I didn't think of it then, but, like, imagine coming home just, like. Imagine being Beyonce and just, like, walking in the front door. Like, album's been out for, like, a couple weeks. Everyone's singing it. And, like, Jay Z just being like, Joe, like, anything happen at work today? Like, do you get, like, did they say. Do they say to each other? Like, did you see that email? Like, imagine your husband cheating on you, and then you make the most Fire album to ever exist about him cheating on you. And all the songs start with you speaking and, like, dissing him. Like, how do they. How did they move on from that?
Hannah
Celebrity relationships are on such a different, like, mental wavelength than, like, a normal relationship. And she probably was like, hey, I sold a bazillion records. And he was probably like, go off. And you have to say, like, there's
Paige
a line where she's like, imagine if you imagine never had the coolest girl in your bed. And I'm like, that would crush me if I'm him.
Hannah
You know, there was definitely a fight or two, I would say, or three. But at some point they're like, empire. And it's almost. Maybe this is all alleged. Maybe they got to the point where they were like, it's actually more complicated to try to break up than to fight with you every day. I'd rather fight with you every day than go through an insane divorce and rather little microdose fights than, like, blowing up our entire empire we built together. I guess, which is why, sure, they live separate lives. Yeah.
Paige
If I know that my husband has slept with another woman, like, there's not. But there's nothing that's keeping. There's nothing keeping me there. There's nothing that I'm staying for.
Hannah
Maybe she also has her because she's
Paige
rich on her own. So it's not like.
Hannah
But you know what? Maybe they have secrets about each other.
Paige
But don't you want to be able to, like, live out loud?
Hannah
Honestly, their relationship is so, so mysterious
Paige
and interesting for how long they've both been famous. It's so mysterious.
Hannah
So mysterious. And you saying that she dropped the album about him. It does remind me, at an extremely streamy decimal percentage of my experience of me about to drop my Hulu special because the very end has, like, 15 minutes of jokes about Dez that he's never actually heard. And, like, I've run it by him. Like, okay, yeah, I've run the premises by him.
Paige
Yeah. How have you.
Hannah
Like, I wait till he's in, like, a silly mood, and then we'll be in the car and I'll be like, hey, I'm working on a new bit about this. And he'll be like, yeah, it sounds good. And like, that's so. So then if he does get annoyed, I'd be like, I asked you. And if people like the joke, like, if it's funny, he's always okay with it. But, like, I do go pretty hard on special. Like, I have one joke that's like,
Paige
can you give us, like, a taste? Like, yeah, I was just going to say, is there one joke that you're, like, waiting for his reaction?
Hannah
One joke that I'm like, oh, wait,
Paige
I kind of want you to tell us.
Hannah
It's the kind of joke that, like, he'll either be like, I love it, or be like, yeah, I'm getting an attorney.
Paige
What's the genre?
Hannah
It's about his Family.
Paige
Okay, okay, okay. They're all dead. So, like, who are you really getting in trouble with? You know?
Hannah
But many people, it's just like the relationship brings so much relatability and like, I'd never go into writing my specials to be like, I want to make fun of my husband. But there is an empowering thing of growing up seeing all these other guys specials where they're just like, my naggy wife, my bitch ass wife, my annoying wife. So it's kind of fun to be a female comic and like, make fun of your husband if, like, it's empowering.
Paige
You know who I still think about is John Mulaney because when I first, like, watched his standups, a lot of his material was about his wife and was about his wife and actually about loving his wife. And I don't know why I think about him like leaving his wife and marrying Olivia Munn so much, but I do. I think about it at least once a month. I don't know why. Like, obviously I'm a John Mulaney fan. I think his stand ups are funny, but I don't. But. And I don't even know what his wife's name is actually. I think she wrote a book. It's not like I was like so obsessed with them or like that. It keeps coming into my head, but I think about it all the time.
Hannah
I just got the vocal stem. Am I a Nicki fan? Pull up in the Sri Lanka.
Paige
What the hell is that? That's from like Housewives.
Hannah
Those Housewives. Like Covid. Also, it's crazy how things don't hold up over time.
Paige
No.
Hannah
Speaking of some random celebrity drama that don't you love when there's celebrity drama from like the 2000s that you just didn't know about and you're like, why do people not talk about it enough? Do you remember Mary Louise Parker?
Paige
I have been in a hole of this.
Hannah
Did we see the same TikTok or something? Or Instagram post?
Paige
It's so interesting. Before social media, the men were really getting away with other each even more so.
Hannah
Do you want to tell them what happened?
Paige
No, you go.
Hannah
Okay. So Mary Louise Parker is with Billy Crudup. Who's the guy?
Paige
Wait, if you don't know who she. She is.
Hannah
She started in Weeds.
Paige
Yeah, she was the main actress in Weeds.
Hannah
Hilarious, genius. Also gorgeous, so. And Weeds was 2005 to 2012. So Billy Crudup, I don't know where he was in his career at this time. I didn't know him, but he's.
Paige
I Know him from. He's in, like, the first season of the Morning Show. He's, like, in random stuff.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
He's never, like, the main. Main guy, but he's in. He's in a lot of big stuff.
Hannah
I don't hate short men. I hate short men who do bad. I hate little evil short men if they're short and they're nice.
Paige
I hate short men that do short things.
Hannah
Yeah. So immediately when a guy does something fucked up, first I check his height. It's the first thing I do. 5, 9. Telling 59 is not good enough. Not good enough, babe. Not good enough for this. So she's seven months pregnant. Billy Crudup. Well, this is the problem with dating actors. He's. I think in a show with Claire Danes, they fall in love because they're fucking making out every scene, probably. This is with acting. It's just. I'm sorry. You're just, like, pretending to pretend to date. You guys are dating. So men are doing full. What is it called when you're, like, method acting. Method taking method acting too seriously. By the way. Apparently Adam Driver on Girls was doing method acting, but Lena Dunham didn't say it, but it hasn't been confirmed, but she just says how, like, they'd be practicing their lines and he'd throw a chair.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And someone was like, he's method acting.
Paige
She's like, I feel like he's just mad, and this is weird.
Hannah
I'm gonna start doing that. If anyone gets mad at me, I'd be like, sorry, I'm method acting. They're like, for what?
Paige
Male actors are very. You know what's funny is you grow up your whole life, and maybe just because of when we were born and before social media, you grow up your whole life having this, like, preconceived notion about celebrity, specifically celebrity male actors. And then you become an adult, and you realize that those men were some of the biggest losers in high school. And, like, it's just. It's very interesting.
Hannah
But then you realize the athletes were also losers. So then you're like.
Paige
Because they had a reading level of
Hannah
a pre K student, where have the good men gone?
Paige
Because if you ask me in high school, like, oh, my God, who's, like, the hottest?
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
Who's your husband gonna be? I'd be, like, a professional athlete or, like, a famous musician or, like, actor. I'm. I would kill myself.
Hannah
Yep.
Paige
If I ever.
Hannah
Now the nerds are even diabolical. Now the nerds are more.
Paige
We don't have the Lid on the nerds. And we've lost the nerds. The nerds are out here cheating on other nerds.
Hannah
So, Billy Crudup. Crud up. Oh, now I'm hungry for a crudo.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
By the way, it's 10:30am on a Monday.
Paige
I was just gonna say a crudite.
Hannah
A crudite. Good morning, K. Billy, also, you're 61. Your name's not Billy. Your name is William. I'm not calling you. I'm not calling anyone Bobby or Billy past the age of 12. Grow the up. Pay your taxes. So true, Billy.
Paige
Okay, your name's not Billy.
Hannah
Also, do you know who he's with now?
Paige
Who?
Hannah
Naomi Watts. The man pulls.
Paige
Yeah. Something about Claire Danes scares me, and I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's because every role that she plays, it's like this, like, really overstressed, like, anxious character. And that's, like, how I see her, but, like, something about her. I'm like, I always have to take a deep breath, I feel like.
Hannah
But I also. The feminist side of me is like, I love her playing these, like, really imperfect characters. Like, Homeland was iconic because, like, she was so unlikable. And, like, up until that time, there weren't a lot of female roles to be unlikable and star.
Paige
Yeah. She's just always so stressed, and I'm like, I'm stressed.
Hannah
True. You're like, take a bath.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
Pick an Epsom salt.
Paige
I'm like, do a hair mask. You're gonna love it. Okay, keep going.
Hannah
No. Yeah. So that's what happened.
Paige
Oh, okay.
Hannah
So he left her at seven months pregnant, which. It's giving. It's giving. The wicked Ariana Grande drama.
Paige
I was just gonna say, remember when everyone forgot about that? That is cr. That was crazy. And I think that was still the crazy work.
Hannah
I think she's still with SpongeBob.
Paige
Are they? That's actually going pretty strong.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
I just feel like if you're. I mean, obviously it's so nuanced, but, like, I just feel like if you're going to leave your wife for someone else, like, really physically get up and leave your pregnant or like, with child wife, it's got to be for the long haul. And I don't think he dated Claire Danes for that long.
Hannah
I think it was like three years. Because also, I think they actually did get a lot of public blowback that they, like, couldn't endure.
Paige
I mean, I do have to say,
Hannah
I don't care how sturdy your Relationship is if you're constantly being attacked by the public, like it's going to cause issues 100%.
Paige
It might bring you closer together for a minute, for a moment, because it's almost like a trauma bond, us versus
Hannah
the world type thing.
Paige
But once your cortisol level kind of goes down, it's like, it's very.
Hannah
I would argue it obviously sucks, but if a guy leaves you while you're seven months pregnant, thank God he showed you who he really is, which is that he doesn't fucking care about you. Because all I know based if I'm seven months pregnant, I feel not myself, my hormones are insane, I need help, I'm exhausted. Like, you're in a really vulnerable period of your life. And if your man can't be there for you when you're holding and growing his child, I don't want you around later.
Paige
Right?
Hannah
Get out.
Paige
Also, I'd go as far to say, like, not only does he not care about you, he doesn't care about like basic human decency. I don't know, just like basic human rights,
Hannah
World peace.
Paige
Like, it's just. I could be, I could date someone for three minutes and if I found out they were pregnant, I'd be like, oh my God, let's do everything that you need.
Hannah
No. Like, I can't imagine leaving DEZ during his knee operation. He's helpless, Just leaving him on the couch.
Paige
How did you know you didn't like her six months ago? Like, it seems like something that didn't, it wasn't just sprung on you that you don't in fact like your wife.
Hannah
Oh God.

Hannah
Anyway, I did a traumatizing Pilates class. Can I tell you about it?
Paige
Yeah, I would love that.
Hannah
It was like, by the way, I love Pilates, but it was one of those classes. If you see me in a Pilates class, turn around.
Paige
Do you love Pilates?
Hannah
I do. I love with all my heart. But I also love complaining about it. If you see me in a Pilates class, you know some shit's gonna go down, someone's gonna faint, some crazy shit's happening. So I walk in, it's a new Pilates place. And my thing is when I go to Pilates, first thing I have to do, go to the bathroom because I have like a phobia that I'm going to have to like poop during the class. God forbid. That would ruin everyone's experience.
Paige
Oh my God. Wait.
Hannah
What? You scared me. You literally gave me.
Paige
You said I gave you a fright. I'm sorry. Yeah, because you know how I always. I forget things. So if I don't say it. You said pooping and so it made me think of it. Have you heard of Coconut Cult?
Hannah
A cult?
Paige
Hannah, get into it. Okay. Saw this girl, I have heard of it for like a couple months, but randomly saw this girl on my for you page. Like eating Coconut Cult and I was like, I'm gonna order one of those jar of basically like such intense. It's not even yogurt, but they call it a yogurt but you can't eat it in one sitting. You can only eat one spoonful of a day of it. A day. Because it has such active probiotics in it. It's the consistency is actually like a mousse. It's actually really hard to only eat one spoonful. You like cuz it tastes good. You like want to eat another one? I am obsessed. I've only had the strawberry flavor. I have one spoonful in the morning and I have like a spoonful at like 4 in the afternoon. If you eat too much, it is diabolical and it is one of the scariest things I've ever experienced in my life. But if you like stick to a steady routine, you do feel like over time you feel less bloated. I probably been having it for like a full two weeks now. Oh, I'm obsessed. I love it. You have to keep it in the Refrigerator. And you can't double dip your spoon.
Hannah
Oh.
Paige
Because it's like, the probiotics are so active. And if you've, like, already had it in your mouth and then. I don't know. That's like a weird science thing that. That's a woman in stem that I'm not equipped for.
Hannah
Okay. I'll definitely look into coconut Cult.
Paige
It's look into branding, and I think it would really help your stomach.
Hannah
I have had a little sour stomach the last week. Yeah. But I didn't want to. Well, yeah, it's. It's still on and off.
Paige
You know what I'm always in fear of getting, and I think it's because it's just, like, the grossest name. Have you ever heard of leaky gut?
Hannah
Why does that remind me of leafy greens?
Paige
At any given point in the day, I'm scared that I have leaky gut.
Hannah
Oh, no. It's a whole new thing for me to wear. Well, I know I have leaky gut. Actually, I've been having leaky gut. Okay. So I'm at my Pilates, going to the bathroom because I'm afraid I'm gonna have leaky gut. And I'm in, like, the locker room area, so I see a door. I'm like, this must be the bathroom. I open it up. It's not the bathroom. It's like a storage closet. Shut the door. Oopsie. Go into the other bathroom. And I'm in the bathroom, and I realize, like, an alarm is going off. But it's like a subtle alarm. It's like just the light and being like, fire. Fire warning. Yeah. And I'm like. And I'm like, did I do that? Like, I assume that everything's my fault. I'm like, it's because I opened that weird door. So I.
Paige
That's actually so funny that you go. You live your life throughout the day being like, I messed something up.
Hannah
No, I did that. Like, what did I do?
Paige
No. That's so stressful.
Hannah
Well, I think it's. I'm very powerful. Like, when something good happens, I'm like, that was me. When something bad happens, I'm like, that was me. I just feel like I'm a catalyst. Anywhere I go. I'm like, let's change the molecules of this place. So I'm sitting there and, like, the alarms go, like, going off very subtly, though, and it's basically fire, fire. And no one's acknowledging it, but, like, a chill fire. A chill. Like, it's chill, and I can't tell if this is just something that happens in the building, but the lady's not being like, hey, just ignore that. It happens. Instead, I'm like, am I the only one that sees this? And I'm the one that caused it. So anyway, that's how it started. And then I look to my left, there's a man there.
Paige
In the bathroom?
Hannah
No, in the Pilates.
Paige
Oh.
Hannah
I look to my left, there's a man sitting on the sink. No.
Paige
Hey, I'm a firefighter. There's a fire. Get out.
Hannah
No, but I'm literally like, if there's a man here, he better be, like, putting out this fire. He shouldn't be here for Pilates, but he's there for Pilates. And of course he's doing straight. I didn't look at him. I actually didn't make eye contact with him, so I couldn't tell. But I feel like he was straight. Because she kept.
Paige
You can tell without eye contact.
Hannah
I know he was straight. She. She kept having to be like, over this one. You can add more to him. And I'm like, shut the.
Paige
By himself or with his girlfriend?
Hannah
By himself. It was like he was, like, going through something now, in his 50s. It was like, he definitely. Probably divorced, trying to, like, start his life over.
Paige
I don't like that even more, actually.
Hannah
No, I know. So I was already, like, bad energy. The fire also is giving bad energy. Throw me off then. Now look, when you sit on a reformer, never sit next to the person who's already there. That's just like a rule. Because we're all doing our leg stretches. Like, go to a different Pilates reformer. So this girl comes in and sits in between me and another girl when there's other reformers open. And I was like, that was a crazy move. But that's fine, Whatever. Let's be communal.
Paige
Wait, that's a crazy move.
Hannah
It was. There was, like, five other reformers open. Maybe she wanted to be like, in our area. I don't know. But I was a little bit, like, interesting decision. And then it's hot in there, and she's wearing, like a full suited up, long sleeve everything. And I'm like, she's probably so hot. And then she's, like, filming herself. So I guess she was like, vlogging or something. And I was like, I'm just gonna ignore this. She starts, like, taking calls during the class.
Paige
You were gonna say she started interviewing?
Hannah
No, her phone was, like, buzzing, and she was like, hello? You thought she was gonna do man on the street with me?
Paige
I thought she was gonna be like, can I ask you a couple questions?
Hannah
Do you care if women fart?
Paige
Okay. So she's on the phone.
Hannah
She's, like, still doing the moves kind of. And she's like, hey, like, talking on the phone. Like, it was cr. And I'm like, this is. This is bonkers. And then this other girl on the right of me was one of these, like, insane breathers. Do you know, Look, I. You have to breathe in your Pilates class. But you know the performative breathers, where they're like, every breath. And I was like, there's no need to breathe like that on this particular, like, yeah. So she's doing her performative breath deaths that are next level. This one's picking up phone calls. A man is plotting all our deaths.
Paige
Usually the perfect. The person that, for me, that I always notice is doing the performative breathing is like one of those moms that's like, kids are grown. Kids are grown. Kids are out of the house. They still call her for everything. She's bony. She's bony. She's a hat on. Okay? And she's. And like, tiny, tiny little thing hasn't
Hannah
had a carb since 92.
Paige
Oh, my God. Has not had a carb since before Y2K. And you're like, how do you run all these marathons? And you. And you're like, you have osteoporosis. Like, you have to stop doing this.
Hannah
This is like the fourth thing she's done today. And it's 10am and she's already, like, done all her groceries. She's, like, biked four miles. Yeah. So she. She was doing crazy breathing. And then I'm sitting there and I'm like, this is. This is my hell. Like, this is where I came for peace. And then I'm wondering what they're thinking about me. They're like, this starting fire. So I survived it to tell the tale.
Paige
I'm so against workout classes. See, I can do it in my own home.
Hannah
When I do it alone.
Paige
You don't trust that you're doing it right?
Hannah
No, I know I'm doing it right. I know that. I don't trust myself to keep doing it. Like, after three sit ups, I'm like, we're good.
Paige
Okay. So I'm the opposite. I will keep doing it, but I don't know if I'm doing it right. So it's like, is this. Am I doing it for nothing because I'm doing it wrong?
Hannah
I needed peer pressure, and I'll do anything if someone else Is there. But when I'm alone, I cannot be held accountable.
Paige
See, for me, I want to turn my TV on. I want to be listening to that. I don't want to really be listening to the girl teaching. I just want to watch her moves, and I just want to keep doing them. And then I want to mind my own business.
Hannah
See, I'll be like, oh, that kind of hurts. I'm gonna stop. But then if I'm in a class, I'm like, I'll. I'll break my leg right now for me to finish this if the girl next to me is finishing it.
Paige
Right.
Hannah
But that's my own.
Paige
That's how we're different.
Hannah
That's how we're different. I have a woman in some of the week.
Paige
Yeah. Yeah. I'm so obsessed with women. I'm seven of the week now.
Hannah
See, we grow and learn.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
Okay, so you know how you. Paige introduced me to ice face baths, like, when we first started Summer House. Yes. Like, she's been doing it, like, wake up hungover. She's like, watch this. And then she'd waterboard herself for, like, 20 seconds. Like, three seconds too long, where I was like, should I check on her? And, like, then you want to take on the day. Yeah. So have you heard of the snorkel that girls have added?
Paige
I have seen it.
Hannah
Is it something people are selling online?
Paige
It's stupid.
Hannah
It's stupid. Okay, well, girls have invented a snorkel so that when you go under a nice water face bath for yourself, you add a snorkel. So you could stay down, like, forever if you want.
Paige
So dumb. She's, like, gimmicky and stupid. Like, stick your head in the bowl of ice. You don't need to breathe in there. You're not staying longer than 30 seconds. And if you can't hold your breath for 30 seconds, we have bigger issues. You need to go to the doctor because you're not getting full lung capacity. Something strong.
Hannah
It's giving. When they invented that straw that you sip that doesn't purse your lips so you don't, like, purse your lips too much to get. I never saw that lip wrinkles. You ever seen it?
Paige
Wait, I love that. Now that's something I could get behind.
Hannah
That's a shark tank product. I want to see. Yeah. So you, like. It's like, it's different, so I don't know. You could look it up.
Paige
Wait, I'm obsessed with that.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
All day I try and think of things that, like, I can literally, since I'm like 16. I'm like, what's something I could invent so that I never have to work again?
Hannah
I thought of it. Do you remember my last invention idea to you was cute, colorful smelling garbage bags, full pitch deck. I pitched page. Full pitch deck. And you were like, I'm obsessed.
Paige
I'm like, I think they have these. But like, I love your perseverance. I love how yours is different, though.
Hannah
I was like, this can be a wasabi color.
Paige
People need to call more things wasabi color. And that is true. Yes. And that's true.
Hannah
And that's true. Wait, do you know who's having really bad PR right now? So you were never into this show, but I was an avid watcher of the Bachelorette.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And there was a time when people were sacrificing six to eight hours of their week on these shows. And if you got on these shows and you. You got the good edit and you made it, like at least five episodes. Like, you were made as an influencer. Like, you'd have over 800,000 followers. You'd be going on the other excurs, Bachelorette island, skiing, whatever. Yeah. Like you were made. And then obviously they had drama with the host and they lost the host. He got canceled. And then.
Paige
Oh, right. I like, forgot that time. Yeah. Anything that happened during COVID I'm like, I actually don't remember.
Hannah
Well, people are saying we feel 27, 28, because that's when Covet happened and that's when all of our lives stopped.
Paige
Now that we're as many years out as we are from COVID it really did change our lives. Like. Like, I think because we're millennials, we're like, oh, yeah. Like another crazy thing happened.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
Really don't think we're sitting and realizing how much it. Like, I keep saying, maybe this is because of reality TV too. I used to have so much fun in my life prior to Covid, I had so much fun.
Hannah
She goes, I used to do this thing called fun.
Paige
Yeah. I have. I'm genuinely. I can't. And I don't mean fun like day to day fun. Like, I have fun every day. I'm doing some. I live with Kitty. Something fun is happening.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
And I don't even mean in, like, work stuff. Like, okay, we went to the Devil wears Prada. So fun. I haven't had a night out of fun. Like, stupid fun. That means nothing. Debauchery. Didn't plan this fun in years.
Hannah
Not to relate to Lena Dunham, but she said somewhere in an article that she hates organized fun.
Paige
I hate it.
Hannah
And I've never really. I was like, no one's put it into those words. I'm so bad at organized fun. Like, whenever people are like, this is supposed to be fun, then I'm immediately in my head, I'm like, why am I so different from the rest of the world? And, like, why can't I experience things like other people? You're so dramatic. I'm so. I'm sitting there being like, why can't you for once just fucking be normal? You're so the girl, like, looking out the window at, like, 12 years old. Like, I'm different looking out the mirror. No, but no one is like me.
Paige
That my first immediate thought is New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve is a great example of, like, everybody's having fun, and we're all going here and we're going to have fun. And every year I'm like, this is the worst, and I'm going home.
Hannah
Yeah. Well, New Year's, when I came back from Florida and was going to school at Beacon, Upper west side, it was like, the first time I was invited to, like, a cool Manhattan. And it was not cool. It was like, me and, like, my seven friends who were not doing hard drugs. Like, we were not the druggies. We were, like, kind of the athletes. Boring. There was no. Well, no one was telling me about the drugs. No one was talking about the drugs. But, like, we were, like, 17, and all I remember is playing beer pong and yet getting so drunk that I, like, threw the. The ping pong and it, like, hit the wall. Like, I was, like, falling as I was throwing it, and I passed out and puked. And then my mom called the police because she was like, the one time Hannah goes to a party. Because I was supposed to come home that night, I guess, and I passed out and I didn't come home. My mom thought I died.
Sponsor Voice
You were a missing person.
Paige
Your mom literally thought you were a missing person.
Hannah
Because my mom's in Brooklyn being like, my daughter's on the island of Manhattan. That's why I can't have fun. I ruined.
Paige
And there was no. There was no, like, location sharing.
Hannah
No, she just was like, she's dead in the. In the. In a dumpster somewhere.
Paige
The way that we are probably gonna, like, live our mom's dreams. Like, my mom would have given her left arm if for them to have invented location sharing in the year 2006, like, when I entered high school, that would have been her dream.
Hannah
Gen Z's like, are jealous of us for certain nostalgic things, which is so valid. Like, I would be, too, if I didn't have to grow up with a phone. But the fact that we didn't have location sharing or ring cameras is iconic.
Paige
I mean, the way I'm going to torture my children. Like, I'm literally gonna put an apple air tag in my child's shoe, like, in case they fig. Like, there's no situation that, like, they're moving and I'm not knowing exactly where they are. In today's day and age, it's actually kind of sad. Like, I'm gonna be so annoying as a mom because I'm gonna be like, tell me everything.
Hannah
I was with a mom recently whose kid goes to school in the city. Like, teenager, and she was tracking the Uber and was, like, annoyed with the route the Uber was going to get them somewhere. She was like, why would they take that bridge? Why would they take that bridge? And I'm like, the fact, you know. And she's, like, texting him, tell him not to take the bridge. And I was like, guys, everyone calm down. Like, we didn't even have Ubers. How do we get place taxis, subway?
Paige
But, you know, it's so funny is that it's just, like, not all men. We wouldn't have to be tracking everyone and knowing where our kids were at all times and tracking Ubers if the men weren't out here doing weird. But not all of them.
Hannah
Just. So back to the battle of them.
Paige
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Hannah
So Maura Higgins was recently interviewed being like, do you want to be the Bachelorette? Because that was, like, his kind of thing. Like, if you got famous and you were single. Well, no, the Bachelor never really had famous people on it, but I guess they asked me, do you want me the Bachelorette? And she literally was like, I think I'd rather not be. I don't want to be the Bachelorette. She's like, I don't want a man. I want space to myself. Having a ton of men in my vicinity is literally my nightmare. Sierra also was like, fuck that. I would never want to be on the Bachelorette and deal with a bunch of, like, thirsty dudes that want to be famous through me.
Paige
She can do it, and she doesn't have to be on TV. It's giving Rihanna, like, 2008. What are you looking in? Looking for in a man? And her being like, I'm not looking for a man.
Hannah
Yeah. But I think it's just so funny. There was a time where being the Bachelorette was like the coolest thing. Like you get to pick from all these guys who want to do like protein ads on their Instagram and start their own like workout company.
Paige
It's funny because I saw a TikTok the other day that was talking about how we'll always say since the beginning of time that like women are like gold diggers or they're looking to marry someone who has a lot of money or has a big job or like can provide for them and blah, blah, blah. But we never talk about how men can also marry extremely well. And it's never even brought up that like, oh wow, that guy really married well, like his whole life existent. And actually they were giving the example was Emma Grade because she's like getting a lot of criticism for like random stuff and she's on her book tour and people were like, I'm sick of her. Or she's speaking to like rich women, she's not speaking to you. Like there were just like all these different discourse things about her. And one of the things I saw was her husband. They were talking about her husband and it was like, yeah, he's a businessman, but his best investment ever was her. And that like he knew that she could take whatever he was doing and blow it up 10 times more. And I just think I feel like women never get, you never get that like accolade of like. Well, actually he married well and I changed his whole life.
Hannah
Well, that's like Michelle Obama.
Paige
Yeah, actually they were. He was another example. Like Barack Obama actually married extremely well and the probably half the reason he got the presidency is because he had a phenomenal wife behind him.
Hannah
And I just want to add to this conversation too, that people's what makes a person is more than what they looks like, look like and how much money they make. There's something about like integrity and kindness, character, drive and character and conversation that makes like a quality person. So just when you see numbers on a page or like someone with like a nice nose, like, let's like stop for a second. It's because people do marry people without considering their character. And that's why there's 50% of divorce every day.
Paige
They're doing it every day. I had a friend text me, a guy friend of mine text me because he saw one of our clips. And one of the clips was me being like, if you're a 36 year old man and you're trying to date like a 26 year old girl, like what do you have in common? And I was like, I was like, the guy wants to go younger. Because anyone a woman his age probably isn't putting up with as much as someone 26, because maybe they haven't experienced it or they don't know, and they're just more apt to, like, put up with your. And he texted me, and he was like, this is so not accurate. And he was, like, the perfect person to text me and say that.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
It was just interesting how, like, life really imitates art. And no one in my real life ever, like, will text me, like, something that said on Giggly Squad. Because I'm like, this is a safe space. It's like my personal journal. But that was an interesting text that I got.
Hannah
Shout out to Ria from chicks in the office. She did something really funny, I think, like, her husband was, like, annoyed with her for some reason or something happened, and she was like, this is what I always do to make him feel better. And she goes up to him with her hand and she goes, look how much bigger your hands are than mine to make him happy. And I was like, genius. Whenever he's, like, in his head or, like, upset about something, just stroke his ego and be like, look at my little hand. And you're just so big and strong.
Paige
That's actually really depressing because sometimes my hands are bigger.
Hannah
Well, actually, as I was saying it, I was like, this isn't for all women.
Paige
If you just heard Hannah say that, do not feel slighted. My fingers are so long. Typically, my fingers are always gonna be longer.
Hannah
I also can't do that with men with calves. Like, I can't be like, look how much bigger your calves are than mine. Never mind. One person who does have as long fingers as you is Hailey Bieber. Like, you have similar font of fingers. Like, when she does her skincare, I'm like, oh, yeah. Her and Paige could have finger pinky. What's it called? Pinky. Pinky swears. Like, crazy.
Paige
Our pinky swears would go nuts. They'd wrap all the way around the city block.
Hannah
I mean, do you remember how powerful a pinky square was back in the day?
Paige
I still put a lot of onus on a pinky swear. Like, if, like, I'll sign a deal with a pinky swear. I'm like, but you swear.
Hannah
No, there's something about pinky swear where you're like, I. That was my first born. I just gave away.
Paige
Yeah, because it's. It's very. I think because it comes from childhood, it's like, you mean it. Like, you're. You wouldn't Fuck with a little kid. So, like, you're being serious, right?
Hannah
Like, that's your inner child.
Paige
Yeah, it's like, you wouldn't lie to my inner child.
Hannah
Shout out to a really good press tour of a movie star. Like, in. You know, there's like, stars, and then they're like, oh, that's a movie star.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
Like, this is a celebrity. Like, this is like, I'm like a gasp every time I see her. Charlize Theron.
Paige
Yes.
Hannah
And I think I added a little. A little chutzpah to the end of her name. But first of all, if your name is Charlize Theron, you can't be a movie's the. What The. I'm saying, like Thoreau, Therese Theron. That is surely.
Paige
I'm just looking something up about her. Keep talking.
Hannah
She's a movie star. Her looks have been so cool. Like, it's the kind of thing that, like, yeah, other people could try to copy, but it's not gonna hit.
Paige
When she stepped out in that, like, men's suit, I think it was ysl, but it was like, men's. Like, she put that thing around her neck.
Hannah
Oh, she is so gorgeous. And people don't. I mean, people do talk about her, but, like, it was kind of game over when she walked. I was like, oh, and that's. That's a celebrity. Like, bring back celebrities.
Paige
Did you know that her mom killed her dad in self defense? Like, during a domestic violence situation?
Hannah
And that's where all our conversations go.
Paige
I'm pretty sure she. I'd have to look up the story, but I heard this. I.
Hannah
It was apartheid in South Africa. It was crazy violence. And, yeah, the mom defending herself shot her dad. And her mom's still alive.
Paige
And I think she, like, watched it. I think, like, Charlize was, like, in the room. She was like, 13 or something.
Hannah
I mean, I cannot imagine. But that's why one of her, like, Oscar speeches, she broke down thanking her mom, who was there for, like, everything she did to protect her.
Paige
I love her.
Hannah
So anyway, Charlize Theron. You're that girl. We love you. I think she has a movie out.
Paige
She does on Netflix, but, like a thriller. You know how I feel about it.
Hannah
No, I'm scared. I'm scared.
Paige
It's like, enough.
Hannah
Anyway, you guys, to end on that note, thank you for giggling with us. We love you so much. Anything else, Paige?
Paige
No, I feel good.
Hannah
Perfect. Perfect. Have an amazing week. Just keep your head up. Bye.
Hosts: Hannah Berner & Paige DeSorbo
Date: April 28, 2026
In this classic, freewheeling Giggly Squad episode, Hannah and Paige bring their signature wit and self-deprecation to a session packed with beauty tips, pop culture gossip, fitness fails, and hilariously personal stories. They riff on everything from micro needling skincare and pet taxidermy to traumatizing Pilates classes—plus, they dish out strong opinions on celebrity relationships, the evolution of influencer culture, and the unbreakable bond of the pinky swear.
Their chemistry and comedic timing make this episode a goldmine of relatable moments, comic banter, and candid admissions about womanhood, friendship, and life in the era of TikTok and Instagram DMs.
On Beauty Standards:
“You know when girls would be like, ‘look how good my skin is’—and they just put oil on it?” – Hannah (05:54)
On Organized Fun:
“Whenever people are like, this is supposed to be fun, then I’m immediately in my head, I’m like, why am I so different from the rest of the world?” – Hannah (41:44)
On The Power of the Pinky Swear:
“No, there’s something about a pinky swear where you’re like, that was my first born. I just gave away.” – Hannah (51:06)
Banter-filled, intimate, and self-aware, the episode is a blend of playful teasing, sharp social commentary, and confessional comedy. Hannah and Paige’s dynamic is full of friendly roastings, open vulnerability, and Gen Z-millennial crossover energy, making each digression or pop culture riff feel like gossiping with your sharpest, funniest friends.
This Giggly Squad episode is a perfect slice of the duo’s charms: relatable neuroses, deep-dives into pop culture scandals, resistance to wellness fads, and warm friendship. Whether chatting about coconut yogurt, Pilates mishaps, or the power of a pinky swear, Hannah and Paige live up to their description—they “can’t be managed,” but they sure can make you laugh.
