B
Manifest that shit. We can't be managed.
A
I mean, the day just got away from me.
B
Hello, my glorious Gigglers.
A
I have, like, a lot of things on my dog.
B
So much to talk about. And can I just say, people were like, are you gonna have enough to talk about with two episodes a week? And I'm like, we've been holding back. We've been holding back. Now we can open the floodgates. Let's go. What do you have?
A
One weekend where we haven't spoken and it's like, I have eight business ideas. We're literally. And we haven't seen each other. We're like two cokeheads that got together. No, we're literally two cokeheads that got together on a Friday night when we haven't seen each other for a week. We're like, should we start a business?
B
Like, I don't know what coke is like, but I'd imagine this is it. We had some drama today.
A
I've been waiting to sound off.
B
You're on the boots journalism for the Victoria Beckham family. What would you call it? Massacre?
A
Family feud.
B
Yeah, I want. Everyone is waiting to hear your take.
A
Okay, so I was on a set today. So I was in the perfect conducive situation for when this dropped to talk. I was in the glam room. I read it aloud to everyone. I actually got complimented on my reading. So take that, guys.
B
Okay. You're literally. They're getting paid by you. Continue.
A
Not sure. I went full Brooklyn Beckham mode.
B
Oh, you went British. Yeah.
A
Yeah, I did. First thing I want to say that before we really get into the meat of it, was this was a really stupid thing on my part, but when I'm reading it, I thought, oh, British people spell mom M U M. Now, I was under the impression that's just how they said it.
B
Yeah, I didn't know they belt it like.
A
I thought they spelled it mom, but they just said mom.
B
No, they go full mom.
A
I was like, wait, you guys just changed the whole word, though. But dad is dad.
B
That's true. It's short for mummy, which is mommy. We're throwing. So honestly, we were unable to really understand the. We couldn't get past that.
A
My reading comprehension definitely dwindled after the first mom, because I was like, I.
B
Feel like I can't take a guy seriously when he calls his mom mum. Is that offensive to the British community? It just. I'm like, it's. I'd rather him say mother.
A
I just. I just didn't know that's how they spelled it.
B
It's like a girl saying daddy now. But we digress.
A
Okay, let me first and foremost say Victoria Beckham till I die. Okay.
B
Well, I was gonna say till I. Paige is kind of, like, related slash very good friends with this, so she's gonna have a biased take. But anyway, continue with.
A
I always have a friend's back, and Victoria's no different to me, so I have her back on this one. With that said.
B
Yeah.
A
Obviously, I am not estranged from my family, but I can imagine that if that is.
B
You're like. But I imagine it every day. I think about, what if I just press the block button?
A
If I told my mom and dad I was going no contact with them, they'd say, great, we'll come too. Like, they would be like, what?
B
They go, who are we blocking the calls coming from inside the house? Mom.
A
Yeah, Contact where we'll contact you anyway. But I can imagine that if you are feeling that way, like, there's obviously some truth to what he's saying. If he, he felt that, like that he needed to put this out on Instagram. Do I think that the Beckham family likes a photo op of their family and there's some type of press? Like, yeah, I'm sure. Now there were a couple parts that I was like, that's interesting, bringing Marc Anthony into it. What did Mark Anthony do to be brought in to this situation? And I know he's talking about. He was talking about his actual wedding and that Mark Anthony was supposed to introduce him and his wife for the first time. And it was actually a dance with him in Victoria. Now when I got to that part, I said, now this is written the way I would have written it. So in my head I was like, okay, this possibly could be his wife. Which I don't fault either because I think, like, if you're married, yeah, that's my husband. Like, I have his back. That's I'm going to be real.
B
You think she wrote it? And he was like, we got to just change it to mum so people think I said it like it's her. And then he's mom. Yeah. I've never seen a straight man post that many paragraphs about something true. And I especially think, but he is British and they love the English language, so he could be like a Shakespearean novelist for all I know.
A
It was giving Prince Harry, I'm leading the monarchy, like, that was the vibe I was getting.
B
Well, they are like royalty, that family. So I do think it was weird that Mark Anthony was catching strays. It almost was giving like. Like when you're. See you in court, where it's like, you mention someone so then they have to like say their part, you know.
A
Speaking of fucking, see you in court, guess who got God damn jury duty.
B
No, I will at the doj.
A
Literally, there's someone down at.
B
Yeah, I'm fucking. Someone was like, oh, you want to make fun of us?
A
Yeah, you motherfuckers down in this hilarious. Down at the God goddamn Soho court. I will show up there and I will. No, I'm not gonna threaten a government building. That's really terrifying. Let's calm down.
B
Well, look, honestly, you said see you in court enough that they're like, cool, see you there. You know what?
A
Actually do a civic duty.
B
That's crazy.
A
No, I'm actually pissed.
B
Back to Brooklyn.
A
Yeah.
B
I want to say I think there's multiple Truths to a lot of stories. Totally.
A
So many things can be true.
B
I could totally see him getting annoyed that his family's like, can you please support us in all these ventures? And he's like, they're so annoying. And then you didn't support this. I. It is interesting, though, because it. It did go around like, that his wife was the bad person for not, like, wearing Victorious Beckham's dress.
A
He said that she pulled out. Okay, here's one thing that I think we should dive. Dive into, because I think this is very pertinent. Typically, I feel like there's. How many siblings? There's four of them. So, I mean, is it a coincidence that all of the other siblings are kind of like, we don't fuck with you either? Like, are they, like, just going blindly with. Blindly with the parents, or is Brooklyn, like, being crazy and they're like, what's going on with you?
B
Well, this is what I don't, like. I don't like family drama and relationship drama. You know when you, like, you love two people, but they're, like, horrible to each other, and they're telling you stories, and you're like, you're both fudgeing crazy. Like, that's how I feel in this. Like, this is family drama. That is their shit, and it should not be aired. Granted, he's basically saying, they keep coming for me in the press.
A
Yeah.
B
And he's had enough.
A
Yeah.
B
But I. I don't. I just feel like the family stuff, no one's good or bad. It's like, this is deep, like, layers of family trauma that they're working.
A
This isn't just, like, one fight. This is, like, years and years.
B
Exactly. And it's like. You know when you talk to a couple that broke up and someone says something and you're like, that's valid. And then the other person says something, you're like, very valid. You guys are not.
A
Except when I break up with someone.
B
Yeah. 100%. 100. By the way, we are drinking our Dunkin Refreshers. Oh, my God. So good, because this is a late episode, and we both been working all day. Actually, I was shopping and.
A
No, I've been literally working all day.
B
No, like, are you okay?
A
You try being an influencer. Actually, this happened, like, two weeks ago, but. And I forgot to bring it up because I think it's so funny, though. Did you see that? Scooter, do you know. You know that Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney are dating, right?
B
Yeah. They had that, like, Central park photo shoot. Yes.
A
Who could Forget. Did you see that? He came out and he was like. I think it's.
B
He came out finally.
A
He goes. I think it's, like, really rude and offensive that, like, professional athletes are DMing my girlfriend, like, when they know we're together. The audacity of, like, what, dude? That. Yes. Because everyone in the world is just gonna respect you, that you.
B
Well, first of all, you're not married. Second of all, those football players are not your friends. They're nice to you because you're rich. They're not your friends. They don't respect you, and they will steal your girl if you. If you slip up.
A
Such a funny. Like, that's such a classic guy. Like, hey, I don't like that, so don't do it. It's like, okay, well, the world doesn't work like that.
B
Also, I love that Sydney Sweeney is telling him which guys are DMing her. Good for her. Make him mad.
A
No, we didn't break that down more, actually.
B
I probably never not told a guy if someone DM me because, like, we have one life. We have one life. Celebrate it.
A
The only time I haven't is, like, where I'm. Where I'm like. I'm not gonna say this, because he's just got, like. He'll get in his head about it, but I keep it in my back pocket because anytime I'm like, oh, my God, look who just, like, DM'd me. Wants to go on a date.
B
I don't say if it's like, an ex boyfriend. That's, like, annoying. It's more like to. Yeah. To piss him off.
A
Yeah. Get a little pep in their step.
B
Yeah. Make them know. Let them know there's people in line.
A
Okay, my next thing that's. Yeah. I'm looking down Kim Kardashian. I don't know why she would do this to me, but she came out. Did you see the shoes she came out with in Nike?
B
Did I see. My DMs were flooded. And I think. I think you. You might be a little perturbed because I'm perturbed. Kim Kardashian might be a little henna coated.
A
Not only was it a Mary Jane sneaker, it was a freaking tabby. Mary Jane, do you know what a tabby is?
B
It's a cat.
A
Yes, absolutely. It's the shoes that, like, have, like, the toe is cut out. Like, it looks like your toes. Like a hoof. It looks like a hoof.
B
I love an ugly lamp and I love an ugly shoe, and I support that shoe with My life.
A
So I've never been a fan of the tabby. I feel like it's a little gen. Like, my assistant has a tabby, but she looks, like, cute and cool in it. Like, yeah, I don't love them for myself. But a Mary Jane tabby, I think is diabolical. I think. I think what Kim Kardashian did was diabolical.
B
Can I say something about trends, though? If every cool influencer was wearing it, you would. I've been shot. Wait. That was the meanest thing I've ever said to you. That was so. Wait. She's speechless. She'll seem. She's a tear coming. She doesn't even have a witty remark back. She's. Did I do something to you? No. Have I offended you in some way? No. I'm saying you're. You are being social. I heard what you said. You're being socially constructed to think certain things are beautiful when beauty's in the eye of the beholder.
A
Anywho.
B
Whoa. Are you okay? We just had a flare up. We had a full flare up on a Monday. I worked a whole fucking eight hour.
A
A day, and I don't need to come home to this.
B
We're literally a married couple. You're like, I've been working, and I just wanted some peace and quiet and calmness, not to get attacked in my own home. With that said, I think you're also triggered because you know where I am right now? I'm in Colorado. And I have to tell you, I performed in the Denver theater, the scene of the crime. If anyone doesn't remember, you could listen to the episode. Paige had a panic attack in so many ways.
A
You wanna know what Hannah did? My sweet, sweet friend? She sent me a panorama video of the green room and said, paige, it was right over there where you lost your shit.
B
So these theaters, there's a guy who, like, produces it, and this guy does all the Colorado shows. So I get in the car and I realized this is the same as that show, so.
A
But he's like, I never see any.
B
Of these people ever again. He's like, welcome back. And I'm like, so great to be here. Missed it here. Paige says hi, and then I get to the green room. And honestly, I did start feeling, like, a little headache. I think I was dehydrated, and there's no air in Denver, so there's no way. I. I texted him, and he comes down. He's like, can I get you anything? I said, it's possible to just get, like, a little Advil or something. And he's like, sure, sure. And he, like, runs and grabs, and he comes back and he goes, is everything okay? And I'm like, no, they have a file on us.
A
They have a literal file.
B
He literally was like, are you good? I'm like, no, no, we're good. And he started laughing. He's like, I just can never forget your agent trying to, like, nicely talk to Paige and say it's okay if she doesn't want to go on stage, and then you basically, like, kicking her onto the stage. And I said, that's what friends are for. I'm not here with their fucking soft, you know, motivation.
A
You don't have a friend that takes you out of your comfort zone.
B
What's the. What is the point then? In my travels, as you guys know, I'm on tour without Paige, which is so weird. So I'm just doing dumb shit alone with Allie. Do you know when the plane is really small, so even though you have a small bat, a small luggage, it still might not fit? And my luggage, you know when you accidentally open the wrong zipper and it, like, expands the luggage?
A
Yeah.
B
And obviously I'm not organized enough to be like, I should zipper this and, like, compress it again. So I'm with my fully out zipped luggage, and I get there and I'm, like, the first one to put it in. Everyone's waiting for me, and it can't go in. And the lady's, like, looking at me, and I look at her, I'm like, can I just. Could you just sneak this back? And she goes, we don't really do coats here. And I said, okay. And in my head, I know for a fact, because it's so full, the only way to get to zip is for me to sit on it. And I'm like, I'm not do. In a public, in the middle of the plane, putting my bag down, sitting on it and trying to zip around.
A
Like, that's while everyone's, like, waiting to board, literally.
B
So I'm panicking, and I just start letting people go past me. I'm just sitting.
A
I mean, you have my bag. Yeah.
B
Ally comes in, my little angel savior. And I'm, like, panicking, and she's like, put it on the ground. Put it on the ground. She stands on it, and then I zipper it under her. And we're dying laughing. Everyone is like, who let these girls on? And then I had to, like, everyone's just staring at me the whole flight.
A
So you have a new wife?
B
No.
A
Okay, well, that's what it sounds like.
B
No, but she was supportive at a time of need. However, you would have just pointed a. Laughter.
A
I would have been like, what do.
B
You want me to do? But I literally. She must be so annoyed because I just, like, talked about you all yesterday when we were in the green room, like, and she cried there, and then she locked herself in the bathroom there, and then she couldn't get her corset on here. And then her mom answered the phone and told her to stop it over there.
A
Yeah, don't forget, I, like, vomited at some point. I was air gagging.
B
Oh, God.
A
Okay, wait, the next thing I have to bring up is, are you on Chinese Girl? Tick tock.
B
No, but my husband speaks Mandarin, so I feel like I should be.
A
Okay. I was diagnosed as Chinese, which I'm very proud of. And it is all of these Chinese girls basically giving you, like, their morning routines on how they stay so, like. Like their skin is so glowy and how they just stay healthy. Which actually it's gonna annoy me because my mom has said this to me forever and I've been like, shut up, mom. Yeah, I love an ice cold anything. I love my ice cold Stanley. I love an ice cold soda. Like, I love. It has to be freezing.
B
You even put your face in ice cold water.
A
I love it. I'll stuff myself in the freezer. I don't care. They said that the number one thing is when you first wake up that you should not drink anything cold. So, like, hot water with lemon immediately. And then they're drinking bone broth for breakfast because they're, like, waking their bodies up slowly and naturally. And I love an iced coffee. I'm an iced coffee girl all year round. But I've been drinking hot water with lemon in the morning before I. I still have a nice coffee, but before I do anything. It's kind of life changing.
B
How so? Because, you know, I. I have follow up questions.
A
Okay. I feel like some. And this might just be me, but I feel like you get to a point with your caffeine where you're like, okay, my body's not responding to it anymore. Like, I really would like to go to the bathroom. Maybe I'll have just like a little bit more coffee and then I'll go, mm. For whatever reason, the hot water with lemon one works immediately, if not sooner. It's almost like your body season is like, I've gotta go. And it. It does, like, wake you up in such a different way, but like a better way. Like, I feel like, you have coffee immediately. It's, like, jolting you into, like, the future.
B
You're like, holy shit, how much lemon are we talking?
A
Like, a slice. But then there's, like, all these videos of, like, other things, like goji berries that they put in tea and, like, all this other stuff. So they also have, like, a tea in the morning, a tea, because people.
B
Have been doing it for so long. I also actually do like this because this isn't, like, a crazy investment for the girls to be like, oh, you gotta buy this crazy thing. Like, get some lemons.
A
You know? I love Chinese medicine.
B
Yes. Can I also just say, we never make the gigglers, like, ride at dawn for, like, anything. Like, we don't like to get them to, like, be mean to people. Like, we want a place of love and light. However, I know I never. I never asked them to, like, do anything. Nana still got it. Is getting attacked on Threads right now, and I. She doesn't know. She doesn't know and she's listening, so she just found out because she doesn't even know that her posts automatically go to Threads. So Nana is getting bullied on Threads when she didn't even sign up for it.
A
Wait, this is not funny. This is. It's actually elder abuse. This is, like, legit elder abuse.
B
Up.
A
Hannah texted the group chat, me and Grace and Hannah, and she goes, oh, my God, Nana's literally getting bullied. Like, you have to go on Hannah. I clicked into it.
B
No, Like, I'm really upset.
A
It's actually why I feel like Giggly Squad is so important. These older women of a totally different generation of us that we're not allowed to live alone. We're not allowed to decide if they wanted to get married or not or have children or not. And, like, a lot of I seem like boy moms from the south, but anyway, it's terrifying. The women that are attacking Nana Are. Are 65 plus. 65 is generous.
B
You will always have haters, no matter what age, if you're a star. No.
A
I was like, wait, so this is never ending for me.
B
Sorry. I'm so. Okay, so for anyone who doesn't know about my Nana, Nana still got it. She loves her fans more than anything. Yeah, she loves them more than me Now. Nana. The thing with Nana is Nana has been gorgeous since the day I. I met her out of the womb. When she's. She's walks into a restaurant, everyone looks at her, thinks she's famous. I always just thought she was a star. She is the most naturally beautiful woman Italian and just stunning. And yeah, she takes, she stays out of the sun. She doesn't drink, she doesn't smoke and she sleeps.
A
Never had a needle to the face.
B
Never. She doesn't even have her ears pierced. She also like just hates pain and she also just takes care of herself. But she is abnormally beautiful for her age. I will say that it is jarring and I show it off a lot. But she has never done plastic surgery. Not against plastic surgery, but she hasn't. And then she also has no idea how to use filters. This woman innocently sits in the corner of her living room and asks her husband to take photos of her outfits because her fans like to see what she puts on each day. It's the very. She's perfect and has never done anything to hurt anybody. And she wants world peace. So she posts this photo of her sitting in her living room and says, my husband took these photos. Can you imagine? She asked her 86 year old husband to take photos of her. My husband took these photos of me this morning. I can't believe I will be 85 next month. Where did the time go? And look, is she eating that up? Yes. Is she like putting. Keep your foot on. But just next maybe is she taking.
A
Her orthopedic and putting it on your nana's neck? Absolutely.
B
Look, also by the way, Nana loves all nanas. She's. She loves all her friends. She gets along with all of them. She supports all of her older friends. Now the first, the first fucking comment. Karen, period Scott, period. 7509.
A
Say the name, girl.
B
It's Karen Scott. And if any of. Is this any of yours grandma, you better give her a fucking talking to.
A
Okay, someone come get their grandma.
B
You are not 85. Your hands would show it by the way, like her hands. You are not filtered. They look like her hands. There's nothing you can do to hide the age of your hands. I don't know what that means. And then people are like, yeah. And I'm 16 and people are like a filter can do miracles. Hands have cosmetic surgery too. All these, they're, they're saying she's getting vein removal. Like it is crazy, but it's all because she's so beautiful. Which brings me to my next point. As a woman.
A
Yeah, mental health. Moment it up.
B
As a woman, if you don't age gracefully, you're, you're. No one respects you. If you get surgery to look better, people bully you. If you age beautifully, people bully you. So anyway, everyone defend Nana on Nana still got its Threads account because I'm losing on someone.
A
If you're born a woman, you're gonna get bullied at. You're gonna. That's just. That's what it is.
B
That's basically like, I can just. I had a, like, premonition of you at 84 posting, like, a gorgeous photo of people being like, there's your nose.
A
I'm these up. I'm gonna be in the comments at 85, being like, I have nothing to lose. I'm coming to your house.
B
I do have to say, there are a bunch of beautiful photos of other grandmas and saying, I'm 80 years old. I've never smoked or drank. I give thanks to our good Lord for my health. Didn't need to get religion involved. But here we are. And she looks so cute. And this other person said, this is my mom at 84. No fillers. Yeah. So it's. It's going viral.
A
Yeah.
B
And I just. It's. There's beautiful comments, but there's also people being mean and there's something about people saying something. Yeah. Someone goes, please share what filter you use. You look great. Like, but then there's a lot of people that are just like, you look amazing. I love you. But anyway, it's hard being. Being a. It's hard being a star.
A
It really is. It really is. No, people are nuts.
B
But then again, if people aren't hating on you. But also, like, my grandma should not be posting on Instagram. Like, she should not be dealing with trolls at 85 years old. Like, maybe I should talk.
A
I just. I couldn't imagine seeing an older woman and being like, I'm gonna hate on her.
B
Well, like, the fact that people are jealous of Nana. Like, iconic.
A
No, it's actually iconic.
B
Like, she's just living her life and people are talking bad girl.
A
I can only hope that these are jealous at 85. Yeah.
B
Can I just say, if people aren't mad, you're not doing enough. You gotta keep these mad.
A
List of people that if I get murdered, I. I know for it's one of these five. Like, there's. Hands down, it's one of these five. Like, you don't have to go anywhere. I've done the research. I know who it is.
B
So thank you, guys. We read a Dawn Fernana. Still got it. And every grandma, every giggler grandma.
A
I feel like this goes without saying, but we support grandmas.
B
This is a pro not bullying grandma's podcast.
A
I don't know what you've heard on the streets, but we are pro. Grandma.
B
We.
A
We don't condone bullying grandmothers.
B
You know, I'm gonna take a. A huge step here and say, let's not bully grandmas.
A
I'm gonna go out on a limb here, go out on a limb anti.
B
Grandma bullying right here and say the.
A
Elderly are off limits. Okay? I mean, what are we, Jen Shaw. Get a goddamn grip, people.
B
Oh, my God. No.
A
People need to touch grass. It so crazy.
B
My God. Oh.

Okay, there was like a big article that was like new for 2026 is having admin night with your friends page Okay.
B
I also know when I'm being. I know when I'm. There are moments where I'm like, hannah, you didn't make that up. Like, people have been saying that. No, sit down.
A
We made up administrators.
B
Okay. Admin originated for us. Oh, hi, Daphne. Because British Dave. Oh, my God, she's so cute. I was dating, and I asked him why he. I think they lost the war to us. And he said it was too much admin, and that's hilarious. And then we started saying, are. Are other people saying admin in that? Like, what were you gonna say about it?
A
To the people that wrote that article and all the mean grandmas out there, I'm coming for you.
B
Yep. They were like, admin night is a thing the girls are doing.
A
No, they're not.
B
Yeah.
A
Where?
B
That's crazy.
A
Where are people doing that?
B
Well, there is this thing with ADHD that I've diagnosed myself with called body doubling. And it's. It actually is so true. Like, I won't clean my room, but I'll, like, call a friend or my mom, let's be honest, and just have her in the room to watch me do something. And it makes me do it. It's. It's strange, but it. Or, like, yeah, you need to send an email. And if, like, someone's in the room, I'm like, I'm sending the email, and I, like, need them there to, like, hold me accountable almost.
A
Whenever I am going to talk to my friend Stephanie, I know that I'm going to be on the phone for, like, four hours. So I literally pick a project. I'm like, I'm going to actually reorganize all my makeup. And she's, like, amazing.
B
By the way, I hung out with Stephanie this weekend.
A
I know how. How fun. But also, I'm so happy I wasn't there because I never want to go to Denver ever again in my whole entire life. And Stephanie lives there, and she knows that about me. And she's like, but maybe you'll come. And I'm like, never.
B
I was trying to convince her to move.
A
I'm like, I can't breathe here. How do you guys breathe?
B
Yeah, breathing is kind of top really crucial for me.
A
Yeah.
B
Yeah.
A
Wait, I see that you have on the list, and I wanted to bring it up, too. Is Traders okay?
B
Actually, I'm so excited.
A
Wait.
B
Yep.
A
Wait.
B
Yep.
A
I don't know why I have so much energy right now.
B
So do I. I almost had a drink at dinner, but I was like, no, I'll probably be bad on Giggly squad. God forbid I have a cocktail.
A
One episode. We should just get, like, hammered.
B
Yeah, I was talking. Yeah, I think we should. I think we should.
A
We have to be in person.
B
Yeah.
A
Because I'll just log off.
B
You'll just fall asleep, and I'll be like, hello?
A
Do you remember that time I had to take a zoom when I. When I was in Italy and I fell asleep? Guys, one time, me and Hannah had, like, what? Probably the most important zoom we've ever had to this date, and I was six hours ahead, and I'm.
B
You've been up for, like, 17, 48 hours.
A
I was like, no, guys, I'm good. And Hannah text me, and she goes, you're falling asleep.
B
I was like, get a. Post it right? Put a fake eye on it. Put it over your eye because your eyes are closed. You gotta figure something out. Babe, wake up. You had to apologize, remember? You were like, sorry, I'm a little jet lag. Okay, okay, this is gonna get a.
A
Little serious, and then we're gonna go back to fun. Okay, Now, I actually have not started watching this season of Traders because my schedule, it just, like, hasn't aligned. Sometimes I like. Sometimes I like to have, like, a bunch of Traders episodes, and then I'll just, like, go and watch them all. So I have not started it, but I've obviously seen spoilers. I've seen the cast of who's on it. I didn't watch the Bachelor. I don't watch the Bachelor. I haven't watched the Bachelor since the fourth grade, when the first Bachelorette won, and she's still with her husband and I. And I love that for her. So I did not watch when Colton was straight on the Bachelor.
B
I did, but.
A
Okay, so for people that don't know Colton went on the Bachelor. He was straight. He picked a girl. Okay, great. He proceeds to harass the. Out of this girl. Okay? She has to file a restraining order. He put a tracker on her car.
B
He.
A
What else did he do? Oh, he, like, fake. Would, like, text. He would text and call her so much that she, like, couldn't even use her phone. And then he would text her from other numbers and act like it's someone else. So she thought she had, like, another stalker. And then he, like, admitted to it. He had a restraining order against him. And, like, I think you have to. To get a restraining order against someone. I think that person has to be arrested. Oh, also, my brother called me and was like, please stop talking about legal stuff, because you have no idea what you're Talk. Talking about the defendant isn't the only people that picked the.
B
Okay. Gary, don't. I said okay.
A
I said I'm not a lawyer. Let's digress.
B
I hope he felt. He felt good about himself when he said that, you know, Gary, this isn't for you. Stop listening. Turn it off.
A
Actually, no. One of the. He works with a giggler. And she was like, you should tell your sister she's stupid. But anyway, I digress. I digress. He's like, no, I know. So anyway, so Colton, he does all of this weird to this. All of this highly illegal stalking.
B
Also, this is. This is the girl who's dating.
A
What's her name?
B
I need Michelle Randolph. It's her sister. That's who won the battle, shot him The.
A
And she's equally the brother dating Glenn Powell.
B
Yes. Her sister is who? Cult. She's gorgeous. But. But the. Her sister's equally as gorgeous. Cassie, she's gorgeous. Perfect. She was like an angel. Like, she was like, you know. Yeah. So that's who I picked.
A
No, I'm livid.
B
Also, his name is Colton. Anyone? Continue.
A
So Colton does all this weird illegal to this woman, and then all of a sudden comes out as gay. And everybody, like, forgets that he stalked this woman's life for months and months on end. And tell me why you get a job? Why are you casted on a big hit national television show? And not only why are you casted, getting a paycheck, why the fuck are you getting a nice guy edit? You're a stalker, weirdo. If any girl ever did any of that to a guy, was arrested, had a restraining order. Actually, one time there was a rumor about me that someone had a restraint. Someone had a restraining order against you.
B
Like, diabolical rumors on you?
A
No, that one, like, really scared me because I was like, wait, are people gonna think this?
B
You're like, gary, no, literally, take back all the bad things I said about you.
A
I was like, how do I prove that I don't have a restraining order against me? He was like, paige, you'd have to be arrested. You'd like. There's no. Like. Anyway, I digress.
B
Yeah, I digress.
A
So it's. So I haven't watched it because I kept seeing all of these clips. And it's actually pissing me off that this guy is getting, like, a nice guy edit on a massive show.
B
Well, he's also, like, taking charge. Like, he's like, what? I think. And this is what's going on. Like, he's a big.
A
Oh, you're watching, babe.
B
I'm caught up. Babe. I'm. Girl, babe.
A
I'm like, livid. I don't even know why I'm so mad about it.
B
I feel like people are mad at him, though.
A
I think it's good. I think it's the fact. Because in reality tv, the men just get away with so much. It's actually. It makes me sick to my stomach. Like. Like, sorry. You can lie literally years and years cancelable things happen.
B
They get protected and then the girl looks crazy for reacting to it. Continue.
A
No, insane. I just like, I can't, I can't. I want to be like, NBC. Don't. Why did you even hire this person?
B
Like, well, the truth is, is that a man can do something and then he. But he's good looking, this guy.
A
Like, I just, like, I don't. I don't even. How do you have an agent? How are you even walking into production companies and being like, yeah, hire me? I just think it sends like a really.
B
I'm also like, no, it sends a horrible message.
A
It sends a really horrible message to women. And. And women are primarily who's watching reality tv. So you're basically telling all of these younger women who are watching this show that if a guy does any of this to you and you report it, it's okay because he's still gonna go on and live a fine life. And then I think that Cassie girl, like, is not like, she's not on TV anymore. I don't even think she's like an info. I don't think she does anything public.
B
Well, she's probably terrible experience that she's like, I don't want to be involved in any of this public anymore.
A
So anyway, I think he's disgusting and I think he should be not hired ever again on anything. Like, sorry, you can't stalk someone and then just be like, sorry, didn't mean it. Like, no, you're creepy and weird.
B
Well, yeah. There was no explanation for it.
A
I'm gonna add him to my list in case I get murdered.
B
He's on the list. He's on the list.
A
Anyhow.
B
The reason why I started watching Traders is one thing about me. I do love a game.
A
Yeah.
B
And I don't love watching reality TV because I know how the sausage is made. So I lost the magic for me. However I was. People are loving traders. And I was getting frustrated that from the clips I still couldn't figure out what the rules were. And I just want to. The rules are complicated.
A
It's like there Are no rules. It's actually like, they make them up as they go.
B
It's like rugby. I don't think anyone knows what the rules are. They're just running around. And, yeah, they do keep changing them. And it took me, like, three episodes to understand, like, okay, so it's different to be banished than to be murdered. And traders can't get back. Can't. Can be banished, but they can't be murdered. Like, that is complicated. And I went to college.
A
Yeah.
B
So I. I've been watching it, and it really is fascinating because it is like a bunch of rats in a. In a, like, experiment. Not. I don't mean, like, snitches. I mean, like, a social experiment.
A
Yeah.
B
You just put a bunch of, like, creatures together and see.
A
See what they do, how they interact.
B
And the truth with the game is there's so much, like, like, luck involved, too, with like. Like, there's no way to just, like, win the game. You have to, like, have so many things go your way.
A
I see so many people that are like, oh, my God, you and Hannah should go on. Or, like, go on Traders. First, I would never go on without you. And second, they'd have to make us both Traders. Because if I'm a traitor, I'm obviously going to tell you.
B
No. In the first episode, you go, no, you wouldn't tell me. You just look at me and I go, you're a traitor.
A
It happens. Both of haters.
B
Because, like, could you imagine me lying to you?
A
Oh, you want me to lie to my best friend? Oh, what are you teaching America?
B
That's imagine me lying to you.
A
Also, here's the other thing, Hannah, they take your phone for, like, two weeks. You can't watch tv.
B
You can't defend Nana on threads. I can't defend Nana? No.
A
What, am I going to jail? Like, I'm. And also, you have to run. No.
B
So this is my. My one problem with it. My gripe is that I don't understand why they have the physical activities, because it reminds me of the challenge kind of. But, like, yeah, I guess they're getting more money and it's like, these people already have money. Like, what are we doing? Like, put it to charity or something.
A
Yeah, I don't get the money part.
B
I don't understand. And, like, yeah, some people get shields and. But, like, I don't really care about that. All I want to see is these at the round table, going at it for a full hour. That's what I want to see done. Like, no breaks, no food, no I.
A
Think that, like, last year, the Real Housewife of Atlanta.
B
Phaedra.
A
Yes. Oh, my God. That just was really freaking me out. I thought it was like having dementia.
B
Is it? I heard that she's like, the best.
A
No, they should. They should take the clips of her at the round table and play them at law school.
B
Why was she good?
A
She. Well, she is a lawyer, so she. She is just.
B
Gary, take notes.
A
So. Oh, she ate them all up. And she was a traitor. She ate them all up.
B
What's fucked up? Because people, they call about, like, there's like double, triple bluffing where, like, first they're like, are they pretending to not be a traitor? Then it's like, are they pretending to not be a traitor? To be a traitor. To not be a traitor. Like, it's so many layers in mind fuckery. I also. I feel like you'd be amazing at it if there wasn't physical stuff involved. I feel like I would nervous giggle the whole time. And people would be like, she's gotta go. Like, if she gives.
A
People would hate us at the round table because all we would do would be like, oh, good one.
B
You know what's funny? People take it so seriously. Like, people are cursing each other out. I'm like, they're not talking about you. There's. It's a game of if you're a trader and people are like, fuck you and fuck this. I'm like, what are you.
A
We.
B
What are we fighting? Like, they're not saying you're evil. They're saying, did. Did Alan Cummings tap you on their. On the shoulder or not? By the way, his outfits are spectacular. Because I kind of love that. He doesn't even acknowledge it. Like, he just walks in the room, he walks out.
A
He should win an Emmy, literally, just for his outfits.
B
He's incredible. The trait. The traitors. The traitor. The traitors.
A
Well, I love that you're watching.
B
Yeah. But I'm starting to fast forward through the, like, activities because I'm like, I just want to see them at the table. So it's. That's fun for me. That's fun for me. We're having some fun with that. Did you watch him and hers? Him? Of course. Should I watch it? Yeah.
A
One of the best shows I've actually. Probably one of the best shows I've watched in, like, three years, I would say. What? Well, in terms of, like, it's one season, you're not getting another season. It's like a miniseries. I do love them.
B
I love a bow at the end. I also love both those actors.
A
Wait, I love the guy in that. He's like the guy from Wolf of Wall Street. He just, like, gives me like.
B
Is he the one? The, like, Italian with the, like, strong nose? Yeah, you love that. I love that too.
A
That. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, I love him. Hannah and I love canceling plans. It's our favorite thing to do. But there are times where I've wanted to cancel because I just have no energy.

Yeah, it's not like juicy or anything. It's just like diabolical. Okay, depending on the scenario. Sometimes I like when people play music on the subway on speakerphone because sometimes it brings an ambiance that is needed.
A
Sometimes it's like you have your own soundtrack through the world.
B
Yes, sometimes you're having a bad day and someone puts on and you go, you know what? I'm feeling this.
A
That's how I feel when I walk down the sidewalk and there's like a delivery guy on A bike with his own boombox, you know? And I'm like, yeah, create your own joy.
B
You know, playing blasting music on a subway seems insane until you need a pick me up and Ja Rule comes on.
A
Honestly, that's the least weird thing that happens.
B
I'm like, it's literally just adding some.
A
Like, down there is weird. It can get weird down there.
B
Wait, so you agree?
A
Yeah, I don't mind. I don't mind. The subway's lawless. Like, there's no rules on the subway. So, like, someone playing their music on Speak. It's not airport rules. It's not plane rules. So someone playing it on speaker. At least of my worries, because my head's on a swivel for way worse things.
B
Things, you know, by the way, I'm going rogue with what I'm watching, because I'm watching reality tv and then I'm watching Fallout.
A
I don't even know what that is.
B
Okay, so DEZ is one of these shows he just started and was like, you're not gonna like it. So maybe he, like, kind of actually reverse Mind me. He's like, you wouldn't like this. You wouldn't like this. And I'm like, maybe I will. Oh.
A
See, whenever anyone ever says that to me, I'm like, okay.
B
The way he did it, though, he's like, yeah, I could, like, like Walton Goggins in it. It's about an apocalypse, and I love apocalyptic stuff because that's what I'm currently living in. Yeah. Because I'm prepared for the future.
A
No, it scares me.
B
I want to be prepared for the future. Sorry.
A
Also, like, I'm just, like, not gonna ever be that dusty. I'm. Oh, are you gonna. Would you try and live through an apocalypse?
B
No.
A
Yeah, me neither.
B
Well, also because my husband, like, he's having problems with his knee, so, like, he wouldn't be able to defend me. And, like, I just.
A
I know I'm not. I'm taking myself out. Have at it. Good luck, guys. See? Up there.
B
But, like, no, this. It's actually. It's based off a video game, so it's kind of like the Last of Us.
A
Okay.
B
And the acting is really good. It's, like, kind of funny. And I. Honestly, if any girls are like, apocalyptic stuff, I think it's. I'm into it.
A
Okay, well, that seems very Hannah Coded, but we're happy for you.
B
Also, we went into. I'm staying at this hotel, and they told us that there is, like, it's really old and beautiful, great history, and there May not. There may or may not be ghosts. I immediately get excited. Ali gets upset. She's like, please don't tell me that. And I said, please tell us more. I love a roommate. And Allie's, like, literally getting nervous. I look at her, I'm like, you're no fucking fun. All you have to do is, like, give the ghosts good energy and, like, go have a good time. Like, you're putting out bad vibes. Then they'll, like. So then she's like, just like, don't bring it up. It makes me really upset. So obviously, like, when I knocked at her door, I was like, huh? But, like, honestly, like, life is so boring. I'd love a ghost. I'd love a ghost also. What, are you gonna take me out? I dare you. Yeah, I. I hope you do. If that's how I go, that's iconic.
A
See? Okay, you know what's crazy is there's definitely ghosts in my apartment building because my apartment building's so old. Like, someone has definitely died in my exact unit before.
B
Someone told you that?
A
No, they didn't.
B
But you heard or you felt?
A
Well, no, it's just so old. My building was built in, like, is a pre war building. So it's like, which someone's deaf? Who knows? Thank you so much.
B
No one talks about that. No more. Currently going on in my mind.
A
War of 1812. What are we getting at here?
B
No, in New York City, you.
A
If you live here for even a second, you will hear the phrase pre war, pre war.
B
Saying that. Oh, my God.
A
I used to be, like, very anti pre war buildings because I'm like. Like, ew, dirty. It's old.
B
Yeah.
A
Like, now I'm like, chic character.
B
Yes.
A
I don't want your new modern. I want something with a little gusto, Something with a border, you know, Something with.
B
Yeah. I want to hear a little kid singing at night.
A
I want her in a little, like, I want her in a nightgown that goes to the floor, you know, I think that's your 30, mom.
B
Your 20s, you're scared of ghosts. In your 30s, you're like, I need some entertainment. I'm so sick of myself and everyone around me.
A
I'd love some companionship, you know?
B
Just hold me at night.
A
I do feel like if I was warm. If we were to get a ghost, we would get, like, cool ghosts that.
B
Are like, no, for sure. They'd be like, we. We've heard the gossip, and we want to tell you. This is like, I've never said this out loud. This Is so weird. But have you ever been in a room alone and smelled a fart and you didn't fart?
A
Yes, yes. Yes, I've been.
B
Are you serious?
A
Yes.
B
I've never said this out loud. I thought it was just me being insane, like, farting and not knowing I farted. You. And it's not even my brand. Like, I'm like, what the. Do you think ghosts fart?
A
Yes. Because. Wait, I've. I've heard that, like, if there's a ghost or something, you'll feel like. Like. Like a really warm. Like, you'll walk and it'll be, like, really warm air, and you're like, what, like the kitty or really cold? Yes. And there have been times where I've been in my apartment where I've been like, what is that smell? And then I, like, look at Kitty, and, like, she looks at me and I'm like, okay, well, it's gotta be one of us.
B
Which brings me to my next point of why I love cats. They can see ghosts and cats don't fart. They're.
A
Girls don't fart.
B
Like, dogs will fart and, like, clear the room. Even if my cat did fart, I would blame it on someone else. Like, butter doesn't. Cats don't fart.
A
No, I've never.
B
They hold it in.
A
Yeah. In her privacy. She's like, put some respect on her name. She has couth. You know, dogs are just out here, like, ripping ass.
B
You're, like, eating. And everyone's like, what is that in my mouth?
A
They look at you like, what? And you're like, hello.
B
You can, like, hear it. Like, I've heard a dog fart. Like, diabolical. They, like, show off.
A
Okay. One of, like, the biggest revelations of my life. And I, like, think about this all the time. And I don't know why is the one time I went dog sledding. I didn't know that. Don't even get me started. It was when I did that goddamn winter house. So they make me go dog sledding. And one of the things that I didn't realize is, is when you're sitting in the sled and the dogs are running, they're also. The entire time. No.
B
Yeah. I literally doesn't, like, kick up at you almost.
A
I was like, what is this? And they were like, well, they're. They're exerting so much energy. And I was like, so this is animal abuse.
B
No. First of all, full and PETA's fuming. You're gonna get a call. Second of all. Is it like your adrenaline goes and you have to like your guy's phone and you have to poop?
A
Honestly, yes. I'm like. So I have to, like, endure their. Because, no, that's why I don't like.
B
Cats wouldn't do that. Cats would never do that.
A
You want me to pull you on a sled? Okay.
B
Since we're at every pod, you know, we get to the customary poop part. I have. I have to a poop. I just have to say something, which is diabolical, but I'm gonna say it because if people are made it to this point in the episode, they. They get us. There's something that people don't talk about enough. And it's this rare thing that happens particular to me, where every now and then you go to dinner and you're like, not that hungry. And you're like, damn it. Like, I want to be hungry for this. But you're not that hungry. You don't know why. And then after, you literally every time.
A
I go out to dinner because I.
B
Have anxiety after the appetizers, I realized I'm gonna go to the bathroom. A mid dinner poop feels like a puke and rally. Weird partying because you thought you were out. You thought that you were out, and you come back a new woman, and you're like, bring the entree. It's round two. I pooped in the middle of a sushi extravaganza right there on the table. The way I was shoveling sushi, des was like, where did you get this second wind? And I said, you don't even want to know what happened in the bathroom. But it's like you. You feel like you come back to life. It's. Pooping during dinner is underrated.
A
Your commitment to in public is truly.
B
I didn't know. You weren't supposed to. Don't put a toilet there if you don't want me in it. Why is there a toilet there? Also, I don't like that men can and we can't. Actually, a lot of men get. A lot of men don't shit in public. Look, the first thing I do when I go to a public place is I'm like, where can I poop? Yeah.
A
No, you're like a dog where you have to pee on things like, that's mine. That's mine. You're like, good facilities here. I'll take a.
B
Strong flush.
A
What a diabolical episodes this has been so far.
B
Oh, God. Well, I want to thank Duncan for partnering with us for the episode. These refreshers are so, so good.
A

B

A

This week is a solo episode, but my one next week that I'm will be announcing is the one that I had to take a beta blocker for cuz everyone was like, was it for Morgan Stewart? And I was like, no, I freaking love Morgan. Was it for Brooks? No. Like we had so much fun. This one I had. This is the one. I had to take a bet.
