[Paige]

I mean, the day just got away from me.

[Hannah]

Hello, my gay Gigglers. Happy Pride. Our favorite month of the year.

[Paige]

How have we never used that during Pride?

[Hannah]

Because I saved it. Even though every every month with the Gigglers is gay. Thank God not to immediately talk about myself.

[Paige]

I was gonna talk about you.

[Hannah]

Oh, my God. Thank you, but you're welcome. People have been messaging me, like, oh, my God, like, you've been more cunty lately. Or you've been, like, serving more lately. And I realize it's all since Drag Race because, like, Drag Race taught me that, like, to be the moment where, like, before, I'm like, I'm just Hannah. So, like, I kind of feel like, yeah, I'm wearing a dress. Where now I'm like, I'm not Hannah. I'm just.

[Paige]

I'm just Hannah in a dress.

[Hannah]

I'm just hanging a dress. Like, that's what I was doing. And, like, I know, like, like, other people, they're like, she's an icon. She's the moment. And I'm like, well, I'm just wearing a dress. And now I walk in and I'm like, I can be the moment, you guys.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

All in your head. And now people are like, oh, Hannah, like, the gays are starting to like me more.

[Paige]

Yep.

[Hannah]

And I just wore a scarf.

[Paige]

Do you want to know also what the gays respond to? Confidence. Like, they can sniff a certain confidence.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And, yeah, I was actually at a shoot recently, and they were like, I had to, like, answer questions, and one of them was like, okay, like, what makes you feel confident? And. Which is obviously, like, a question people ask all the time of, like, in general. And. And for a second, I was just like. I just, like, made it up in my head that I was. Yeah, I literally made it up. Like, I just said it one day and then that was it.

[Hannah]

I didn't understand, like, red carpets and stuff. I'm like, okay, so I have to put makeup on. I have to be here. And I think the gays, like, knew that, like, deep down, I didn't have my heart and my soul into it. But now I'm like, no, have fun with this. You get to, like, be this character and be this, like, version of you.

[Paige]

Dare I say the gays have the best radar. When someone's pretending, well, the gays call out.

[Hannah]

Yeah, there's this Kathy Griffin tick tock where it's like, I. Someone get a gay. I need a gay. I need a gay right now. I have this old tick tock was posted where I said, when someone says something mean to me and I need to think of a good comeback, I'm like, I need a gay. I need a gay right now. Can someone find a gay for me?

[Paige]

That's so true.

[Hannah]

They read everything. They're great readers.

[Paige]

They are. And listeners.

[Hannah]

And listeners when they have to be. But Speaking of the gays. Yeah. We were at Las Culturistas, which was a parade.

[Paige]

Did you have so much fun?

[Hannah]

I had so much fun. The, like, combination of people was so good. Like, it's like when you get invited to a party. And I was like, I can't believe I got invited to this party.

[Paige]

It's just a night of comedy and fun and outfits, and it's my dream.

[Hannah]

Well, I feel like I have to thank you because the gays first noticed us because of you. And then you showed up in that hat last time, and they lost their fucking. They were gagging. They gagged. They gagged. You were so dominant with the gays.

[Paige]

The hat was intentional because I knew, Like, I knew my audience there.

[Hannah]

You had them in the palm of your hands, and they ate it up. And it was so good that to this point, they were like, you could bring your weird friend. Like, they were like, paige, you can do whatever you want. You could bring your weird friend. And then I came, and they kind of were like, okay, kind of serving.

[Paige]

Thanks for showing up.

[Hannah]

They were like.

[Paige]

They're like, paige, you can bring her anytime you want.

[Hannah]

Oh, that's literally. I felt like I got invited to the cool gay party.

[Paige]

I'm like, I told you guys you were gonna like her. Just give her a chance.

[Hannah]

You were literally looked at me and you were like, this is your moment. You're ready for the gays.

[Paige]

What were we talking about this week? And you were like, oh, that's kind of like, shoot, I lost it. You said something really funny this week, but it was like, a comparison of something. And I feel like we were at Las Colduristas, and now I can't remember.

[Hannah]

Oh, I did a metaphor.

[Paige]

It was so funny, and it just made me think of it.

[Hannah]

Well, thanks for acknowledging something I said made you laugh. I don't do a lot of metaphors, but when I do. So this week is my special week. It comes out Friday. Friday I've been doing some press, and I had a funny moment during press because.

[Paige]

Wait, before you say that, can I just say that Hannah was the. So Hannah, about her special coming out, like, a couple weeks ago, she was like, okay, so who should I invite to my party? And this is like, what I think I'm gonna do. And then like, a week later, she was like, nix the party. Think it's stupid not doing it?

[Hannah]

No. I had a 200 person guest list. 200 people. And I was like, no, we're not doing this. But actually, I'll tell you right now on the pod, something new just came out. Well, we were gonna do a screening and it got canceled. Logistics weren't working. And I have an idea. I don't know if you're around, though, but Taylor Strecker just had a baby that I haven't seen. I think I'm just gonna throw a catered, like, dinner get together from, like, 7 to 10 at Taylor Streckers.

[Paige]

What is her having a baby have to do with that?

[Hannah]

A baby makes a party.

[Paige]

Oh, and she has to do a Friday night.

[Hannah]

And she has a rooftop. If you don't like babies.

[Paige]

Oh, perfect. I'm out of town.

[Hannah]

Are you actually. Oh, my God. Because I was like, oh, you love this Taylor Striker. Okay, fine.

[Paige]

I do love Taylor Striker, and I would love to meet her baby. I've only ever gifted her baby something, and I haven't even, like, looked her in the eyes and introduced myself.

[Hannah]

That's actually. So you. You love a baby gift.

[Paige]

I love.

[Hannah]

Did you get her the trunk?

[Paige]

Yeah, of course. That's what I give everyone who has a baby. I'm like, and here's a memorabilia trunk monogrammed with your baby's name. Now, like, I have. Everyone knows I send that trunk. So, like, now my girlfriends who are having babies aren't even waiting for me to send the trunk. They're sending their color requests. They're, like, not going to leave it up to you, because I have a vision in mind. Can you use these colors when you send my trunk? And I'm like, sure.

[Hannah]

I love that, though. Yeah. If you don't have a trunk, you don't have a baby.

[Paige]

That's what I'm saying.

[Hannah]

What came first, the baby or the trunk?

[Paige]

If I haven't sent you a trunk for your baby, just know I don't fuck with that baby.

[Hannah]

If you have a trunkless baby.

[Paige]

If you have not received a trunk from me for your baby, I'm sorry, we're not real friends.

[Hannah]

If you thought you were, now you know where you stand.

[Paige]

Now you know. If you haven't received a trunk, wait.

[Hannah]

Also, anything else from us culturistas? It was fun to, like, sit back and, like, enjoy a performance.

[Paige]

Yes. It's so fun to, like, walk into a theater and not have a panic attack. I know.

[Hannah]

We're, like, never in that side of the theater.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

You know, waiting for it to start. And we were just whispering to each other, which is really fun. My look I wanted to wear. Yeah, let's bandana it. Ended up giving pirate. And it also wasn't the normal size of a bandana. It was like a big Italian Cavalli scarf. So when we wrapped it up, it was like, bundling too much fabric, and I vetoed it. I said, girls, gays, we can't do this. Paige has been through a lot. She had a long day. She just got off a six hour flight. I don't want to, like, rip emotionally process this. I said, we're doing a scarf, babe. We're doing a scarf. But then the scarf was causing drama all night. Poor Josephine had to keep reading.

[Paige]

Poor Josephine was on scarf duty. My favorite comment was that I was dressed very U coded.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

Dress very me coded. And, like, together we were still. Still ourselves. Oh, and I loved it.

[Hannah]

Well, you were wearing Tom Brown.

[Paige]

Tom Ford.

[Hannah]

Oh, Tom.

[Paige]

I was wearing a Tom Ford top, and then I was wearing an area skirt. The theme was a gay fever dream.

[Hannah]

I thought the theme was evening wear.

[Paige]

I think maybe that was the attire. But the theme was gay fever dream, which I think you, like, you could wear whatever.

[Hannah]

Wait, attire and theme are different?

[Paige]

Yeah. Well, like, the attire is, like, how fancy it is. So, like, if you got an invitation to a wedding, a black tie.

[Hannah]

Got it.

[Paige]

Attire, cocktail attire. But, like, the overall theme was gay fever dream, which I think is whatever you want it to mean.

[Hannah]

When do you decide when to smile or not in a photo? Because I've been really playing with that. I'm like, I'm not smiling today.

[Paige]

It's just like, whenever the wind hits me, you know, in a certain direction, I'm like, I'll give a smile. You know what I don't do when people tell me to smile? Because I'm like, you're not in charge of my esthetic on Instagram.

[Hannah]

You've actually never full tooth smiled on a carpet?

[Paige]

Well, I feel like I have because I've been like, not to, like, fully chapel roan over here.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

But, like, I was bullied into.

[Hannah]

The photographer will just be right there, like, five feet away from you and be like, give us a smile. And you're. You just are like. And then that's the photo they use.

[Paige]

No one talks about this because I may come off as unrelatable in this situation, but you ever been on a red carpet and when there's like a. And there's like, all the camera people and a particular one, like, doesn't care about you, not for, like, any particular reason, just, like, doesn't give a shit. So like, they just turn to the side and wait for the next person. And it's so. And you're standing there, and you know that, like, other people are taking pictures, but this one guy just, like, doesn't give a fudge.

[Hannah]

And it's.

[Paige]

So you're like, okay, so, like, did I do something like, do you know you do not give a fudge because you just don't care? Or, like, you specifically don't. It's very jarring.

[Hannah]

But everything is fake in this world. So, like, I've. I've gone to a carpet before, and,

[Paige]

like, everything is fake and everything is owned by everything.

[Hannah]

Yeah. But people weren't excited. And then, like, one camera guy recognized me. It was like, hey, Hannah. And then the other one got exc. Excited and start taking pictures next. You know, they're all excited taking pictures. It's like. So sometimes, like, they'll start not knowing, and then they see other people care. So then they're like, oh, I'm supposed to care, so everything's made up. It's kind of like if you fake paparazzi, people think you're important. You know what I mean?

[Paige]

And I don't think people at home know that before you get on the red carpet, there's a whiteboard that they write your name on. Oh, yeah, that's flash it before you get on the carpet so that they know who the you are.

[Hannah]

Makes you feel like a substitute teacher. They're like, this is Hannah.

[Paige]

Now. Everyone's gonna be nice to Hannah today, right?

[Hannah]

Berner with B E R N E R I. Adam. Oh, my God. Sports Illustrated, two weeks ago. You have a bigger aura than me. Sometimes when you get out of a car, I feel like people are like, that's a celebrity.

[Paige]

Okay. Thank you so much.

[Hannah]

But you've, like. I feel like this is something that you've had since, like, the womb. Like, you came out, and the doctors were like.

[Paige]

They said, get her out of the nursery. She needs security. Put her in a private room.

[Hannah]

Yeah, yeah. You came up with sunglasses.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

And a lip gloss. And someone was powdering your nose. They were like, okay. She. She got a little shiny in there.

[Paige]

Taylor was literally there as a baby powdering me.

[Hannah]

They're like, don't let her come out looking a mess. I, like, will get out of a car, and people assume I'm a publicist, I think. Or I can definitely walk in a way that no one will notice that I'm there, if that makes sense.

[Paige]

So you Marilyn Monroe yourself.

[Hannah]

I can. I don't know if I can make myself look important, but I could definitely, like, make myself look unimportant. I walk out, and I'm walking to this event, and I guess there's always someone who's supposed to be your, like, handler and be like, okay, here's your id. Here's whatever you need to get into the event. I always walk past them, and they never see me. And then at Swords Illustrated, I was like, with my little cousin Andrea, and she was helping me out, and I was like, girl, we're going to have a fun day. Vip, Sports Illustrated. I walk in, and we're at the elevator, and they're like, do you have a wristband? And I was like, no. And they're like, did someone give it to you? And I was like, no. And they're like, well, you need to get a wristband. And I'm like, I'm so I'm on. I'm in the magazine.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

And this is, like, a big event with lots of different people, but I'm like, I'm in the mag. I'm in the magazine. Like, I'm not trying to be a

[Paige]

bitch, but, like, you're like, I'm the

[Hannah]

prettiest girl in America. So then I went to another place where they were giving out bands, but I guess it was for, like, general public. And I said to the girl, like, hey, can I have a band? And she's like, what's your name? And I was like, hannah. And she was like, I don't have you on anything. And my little cousin Andrea's literally dying laughing because I walked in being like, you're about to hang out with your cool. Yeah. Cousin, and we're about to rock this town together. And the lady looked at me. She's like, bitch, I don' Know who you are and why you're bothering me. And I was like, okay. And then finally, someone saw me and was like, hannah, you walked past the person. And I was like, I just walked in.

[Paige]

Yeah.

[Hannah]

So that happens all the time. All the time. But I also realized that I'd be a good spy.

[Paige]

I'd also say that in my life, if someone said, who's the most confident person that you know, I would say you. And I think that that's why I gravitate toward you, because your confidence, like, comes off onto me, and then I feel more confident.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

So basically, I use you.

[Hannah]

Well, I would argue that we both are really confident, just in very different ways.

[Paige]

Here's the thing with your best friend that, like. And look, me and Hannah have been in some, like, peculiar situations together that are so niche like, that. Like, if we even explained it to you guys, it'd be like, I don't get. Like, I don't know, because it's so nuanced, so niche. But everyone can relate to being in a situation with your friend. And you look at them and, like, in your brains, you're locking eyes, and you're saying to each other, we only have each other in this weird life. And the amount of times, even just this week, that, like, I haven't even been in the same room with you, but I've had the thought where I'm like, and I only have Hannah in this life.

[Hannah]

Like, you actually got quiet at one point this weekend, and I never felt more connected to you because you knew that I knew you were being quiet, and I was letting you be quiet because one thing you don't do as a best friend in public is start poking your friend and being like, what's going on? Are you okay? So I was just like, I'm gonna let her have this and acknowledge. Give her an eye. And she literally was like, I'll talk to you later. And I was like, I'm ready. I can't wait. The second she's in the car, my phone's blowing up.

[Paige]

I felt you. Sorry. I just, like, got, like, a 1930s wave, and I didn't even, like, okay, sorry. I, like, caught a glimpse of myself. Is a. Wait, she's giving hair.

[Hannah]

You're like, Grace, screenshot. Okay, continue.

[Paige]

I forgot what I was saying, but, yeah. Oh, no, no, no. I did have a moment where, like, I felt your presence next to me, but I wasn't looking at you. And I knew that you knew that I was annoyed about something, but I couldn't say it in the moment or around people. And you just looked at me like, okay. And I said, yeah. And. And we had a full conversation.

[Hannah]

Because I'm also not blowing up your spot. I'm not blowing up your spot. I'm just letting you know we're clocked. We clocked it, and we'll discuss this later.

[Paige]

We talk about, as women so much how, like, your friendships change when you get married, when you have kids, and, like, it's hard to, like, balance everything. And I truly think that you and your friend just need to have one of those moments every six months, and it keeps on track. You can keep on, like, you can go and not speak to them for a month because they're busy as long as the next time you see each other, like, you have that type of moment.

[Hannah]

There's just nothing worse than being in a social out Being outside and experiencing something and looking around and no one gets it. And you're just like, I'm alone in this world where, like, I didn't even know what you were thinking, but I knew that I would agree. Does that make sense?

[Paige]

And isn't that what life is? Isn't it just finding people that agree with you? Like, you want to know what? I actually don't care if people think I'm wrong because I know that I have a group of six girls that 100% agree with me and my mom at all times.

[Hannah]

Like Butter. That's a great example. Like, you think Butters disagree with me? Butter is fighting for me every second.

[Paige]

Wait, not to bring up like an actual cat combo, but like, serious question, because I've only had Daphne for two years. She's my first cat. Yeah, obviously. Like, don't you have a short haired cat? So I like, can't call you sometimes because I'm like, what? Like, she's in a different situation. I need to know if one, I need to know how often you're brushing your long haired cats. And second, I need to know if my cat is a I, because I'm not kidding. When Daphne gets like a mat on her, I genuinely feel like she comes to me, shows it to me and like, lets me get it off of her. Like, I feel like other cats, you have to like fight with them to brush it or like, you know, they don't want you like digging at their. Like, I genuinely feel like kitty comes up to me and is like, you're going to let me walk around the house like this? Like, fix this.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

And do I need to know that from the long haired cat moms?

[Hannah]

So my one thing I know is my mom brushes her cats even though they're kind of short hair, but like, they love getting brushed. Like, okay, they walk up to her to be like, yeah, brush me, bitch. Yeah, other side and the back and don't forget the front. Thank you.

[Paige]

Sometimes I feel like she's judging my brushing. Like, I feel like she wants to be like, and this isn't what I pay you for. Like, do it better. Like, if she could physically grab her brush and bring it to me, I feel like she would.

And if there's one thing we've learned, it's that you can be chaotic but your business cannot be. Square helps business owners focus on the fun parts.

The receipt just appears and everything is seamless. Why is it so smooth? That's Square. And once you notice it, you'll notice it everywhere. Coffee shops, salon boutiques. Which makes sense because Square basically runs everything behind the scenes. It's not just payments, it's inventory, online orders, scheduling, team management, reports all in one place. So instead of business owners juggling five different apps and trying to make them all talk to each other, it's just handled. I noticed it the other day in Kat's Deli because I love a turkey sandwich. And now that I have my own brand, I realize how important it is that everything just works. The back end matters so much more than people think, and we may not always be the most organized, but Square keeps everything else under control. You don't need an IT team or a degree in accounting.

[Hannah]

I was in a long conversation this morning in DMS with a giggler who sent me a photo of a cat. And she sent me options for names. Guys, I can't come up with names off of nothing I need to know like, so she gave me some good options.

[Paige]

Wait, there's a girl on TikTok that literally started a business where you can pay her and she'll brainstorm baby names for you. You give her, like, certain things about you and your husband, and she'll brainstorm based on your personality. She was like, I just realized I was good at it on TikTok a couple years ago because celebrities would get pregnant, I'd predict the baby name, and I would, like, kind of get it right a lot of.

[Hannah]

So she's magical.

[Paige]

So she started an entire business where she will brainstorm baby names for you based on.

[Hannah]

Instead of Etsy Witch Breakup, she's doing Etsy Witch Babies. I'm obsessed with her. Also, I was talking to someone yesterday who had a baby, and I was like, what's your baby's name? And they were like, my wife and I actually haven't decided yet, so we just call it baby. And I was like, hold this baby. And they were like, eight months, and they're like, we can't decide just baby, but they have another kid, so they just call it like, there's this kid and baby.

[Paige]

Wait. I thought, like, they.

[Hannah]

There's a birthday.

[Paige]

I was under the impression that, like, they don't let you leave the hospital. I know, but named your baby.

[Hannah]

So many things in this life just seem like a movie and easy. But it's not. Like, I think if you're at home, it's also so much pressure what you name the baby, because that's like their whole identity for the rest of their life. And, like, I don't know, I think sometimes people are too casual about it.

[Paige]

Also, I was asking my friend Katie, who literally just had a baby. I was just gonna say, just had a baby drop last week.

[Hannah]

New baby dropping.

[Paige]

Dropped her new baby. Hell yeah.

[Hannah]

New baby drop in a week.

[Paige]

And like, we've been chatting. Oh, and also I was like, oh, I want to come see the baby. And I completely forgot that you have to, like, wait a certain amount of weeks.

[Hannah]

Oh, yeah.

[Paige]

To, like, see a baby.

[Hannah]

Yeah.

[Paige]

So I was like, totally forgot about that. But when the eight weeks is up, I am in fact busy, so I'll catch him later.

[Hannah]

You go, do you have another baby dropping? When's the next drop?

[Paige]

No, but we were talking about how, like, she was saying how how after you give birth and everything's over and you, like, sleep and you're ready to leave, that you just leave. And she was like, and it is so weird that they're just like, okay, bye, good luck. Like, see ya. Like, in my head, they send a police officer home with me. So, like, make sure where you're even bringing this baby home is suitable. Like, no one's coming and checking. It's such a crazy concept. But then I thought, just like Hannah losing her bag at Sports Illustrated. You're handing it to a woman, so what bad could happen?

[Hannah]

Literally, the doctor, if it's a man, he's like, please take this away from me. I'm exhausted.

[Paige]

Handing it over to a woman who you know is gonna do the right thing. And honestly, what's changed my brain chemistry is I saw a quote that said, the only people that live on Earth are women and their children. And I'm obsessed because that is the only humans that live on Earth is women and their children can include cats.

[Hannah]

I do have to say, this cat that was sent. She sent me options. And then I thought of. I really want someone to name their cat Pepper. I think Pepper's so cute. But she was like, this cat has some, like, brown undertones. And I was like, how about Mocha? And we ended up going with Cinnamon. And her nickname's Minnie Cute.

[Paige]

They're never gonna call that cat Cinnamon

[Hannah]

unless she's really naughty.

[Paige]

Cinnamon, you've named a cat and you already have their nickname. You're never calling it their real name.

[Hannah]

Yeah, or yeah, yeah, that's true. But now I feel like I have. You know, didn't Sheena or didn't you, like, get bought a penguin by, like, Hannah?

[Paige]

I can't believe you would bring this up right now.

[Hannah]

Wait, that was so.

[Paige]

Bought a penguin for an ex boyfriend one time, and I genuinely think I was scammed. It was the cutest. I. It was such a sweet gift.

[Hannah]

That's how I feel about every Giggler's cat. I'm like, give me updates on our cat. Yes, but where is that penguin?

[Paige]

I don't know where that penguin is because they never responded to my emails. But then I, like, still get emails from the place, like, to this day. Honestly, that penguin sensed the energy and was like, not here. You're not adopting me now. What's going on over there? You got me up. I'd rather be in the wild.

[Hannah]

Please. Page six or whatever, put a headline. Paige and her ex abandoned penguin decide they don't want to co parent. No one knows who the penguin is.

[Paige]

I used to get asked about that penguin all the time.

[Hannah]

Oh, my God. I thought Sheena had a penguin at one point.

[Paige]

Oh, I think she might have.

[Hannah]

I'm, like, such a fan girl. Like, Sheena can do no wrong to me, like, ever. When she commented on this advertisement we have up for Hulu dropping and she wrote, it's all happening. And I'm like, does no one understand the gravity of this?

[Paige]

Wait, I saw Sheena. Also, nobody gives credit to Sheena and how funny she is.

[Hannah]

Like, like, inconsistent.

[Paige]

No, her comedic timing is actually hilarious. And people literally don't give her credit. There was something about, like, Summer House and I think it was something about, like, Jesse Solomon. And he was like, making a post about himself or like, I don't know, something. And Sheena commented and was like, okay, Sheena, like, making the whole scandal about you. Like, and I was just like, that's hilarious. And that's funny.

[Hannah]

Also, not to get in the weeds, but she, like, told a story about how her ex put up a TV and it took him, like, only like three minutes. Seven minutes. That's hilarious. Like, why? Why is everyone taking so seriously? If my friend was like, he put up a thing in seven minutes, I'd be like, that's hilarious. She's obviously, like, funny. Just starting a good conversation about how long it takes men to do things. Like, why was that turned into, like, they canceled her because of that in,

[Paige]

like, the beginning years of Vanderpump too. Like, they were really mean to her. And I'm like, this girl is hilarious. Like, even when she first got on the show, I was like, everyone thinks I look like Britney Spears. I'm like, this is a TV goal. I'm obsessed with this person.

[Hannah]

Obsessed, obsessed. So, yeah, I had this interview and the lady who's actually like, giggler, hilarious. We had such a good conversation. And then there's a part of the interview they always like to get a little deeper after what's going on in your life. And she was like, you talk about having imposter syndrome, especially as a stand up comedian who came from reality tv, like, what do you do to, you know, be confident in yourself? And I was just kind of like answering questions, but, like, this light bulb goes up and I was like, I've never said that. I've never. Like, I was gonna go with it, but then I was like, you cannot be a people pleaser right now. Like, that's literally everything you stand against. And I go, I'm so sorry. I don't know where you read that I need to have imposter syndrome. Like, I could actually benefit from, like, a little bit of imposter syndrome because I'm out here like, singing. I literally, to this day still think I can hit the Cynthia Eriva note, right? And it almost cost me my friendship with Paige during tour. And she.

[Paige]

Wait, wait, before you finish the story. We're sitting at Las Colduristas. We're in the middle of the show. I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look over. Hannah goes, so you really would never sing and dance on the stage? Like, I could tell she's watching this performance, and in, like, a normal person's like, wow, they're doing so well. My friend is like, I could fucking do this. I could get up there. I could learn this dance right now. And I knew she was thinking, next Giggly Squad live tour, there will be a singing and dance moment. And I looked at her and I go, no. I would have joined the theater.

[Hannah]

And I was like, you could. You don't have to move. Like, I'll do something around you. And you literally like, I can't do this right now. I'm trying to understand. And I was like, okay, well, I'm planning choreography. Just letting you know in the middle

[Paige]

of the show, we'll talk about this after.

[Hannah]

We were literally a married couple. She's like, can we talk about this in the car? I'm not doing this in front of everyone. Oh, my God. There's a clip going around from our. Our zoom dance. You dancing on zoom was so funny. You were doing like. You did like a.

[Paige]

She was a different girl. She was. She had a vigor.

[Hannah]

She. Old photos of you. And I just love looking at it because I was. I'm like, I miss her. I mean, I'm biased, but I feel like we're exactly the same, except we're smarter and less reactive. So anyway, I feel like it's assumed a lot of the time that women have imposter syndrome. Like, I feel like whenever anyone's successful, they're always like, how are you handling the fact that you're successful? And I'm like, because this is the only way I will survive. Or I'll feel like I have no purpose in life because I've been chasing this since I was born. Because this is all I meant to do. Like, what do you want me. And I. I don't know if they would ask men that. Like, when a man blows up, are they like, alex Warren, do you have imposter syndrome? Or somber, do you have imposter syndrome?

[Paige]

Never one time have I seen a guy answer that question. Because the equivalent to that question for men, I feel like, is, oh, my God, can you believe you've made it to this point in your career? It's not that you've, like, where with women, it's like, you've had to have been Doubting the whole time.

[Hannah]

This is like you're doubting yourself. You're questioning yourself.

[Paige]

We're shocked. You're shocked that we're here where men. It's like, doesn't it feel good? No.

[Hannah]

But, like, when you start in reality tv, everything gets harder because everyone's like, but you were on reality tv, so you can't do this. You can't do this. You can't do this. You can't do this. And you're like, I'm sorry that I got casted for something and it actually wasn't my dream.

[Paige]

You were like, if we really think about it, I couldn't do reality tv. I actually can do that.

[Hannah]

I'm really breaking it down. Instead of calling me Rally TV star, we should just be like, she wasn't able to do it.

[Paige]

She wasn't really on that much. No. I don't know what it is. I think probably also, I think because reality TV is mainly women, so I think it's also looked at as, like, not skilled, stupid. When in reality, it's like the number one connection we have to, like, anthropology, like, watching how women react to certain situations, watching how friendships evolve, watching how, like, just your lives change in general from different ages. You can watch in real time. Now, granted, there's obviously editing, but like, you. So there's some people on reality TV that have. You've watched them for 20 years.

[Hannah]

Can I actually give a metaphor? I'd love. Reality TV is like anthropology, but it's more like reading a history book where at the time you're like, this is facts. But then you realize that the history book was in fact written by humans. And there's always a bias.

[Paige]

For example, I'd have to literally smoke a joint to get through the. Listen, start over.

[Hannah]

Like history books.

[Paige]

Yes.

[Hannah]

Were written differently in the south than the North.

[Paige]

Yes.

[Hannah]

They tell the story of our nation differently based on what they want you to know and how they want you to perceive it.

[Paige]

Yes. Okay.

[Hannah]

So what I'm saying is reality tv, when you look back, you realize, like, oh, that was a time when it was popular for this. Or they wanted this angle. And it's not straight facts. It's through the lens and the narrative they want you to see it from. So that's why I love when people get more information when they go back and they're able to be like, wait, now that I know this, this scene looks completely different.

[Paige]

Wait, okay, were you done with the imposter syndrome story?

[Hannah]

If you want me to be. Oh, no, I just. No, I. I mean, I could talk about it forever.

[Paige]

I didn't know if you finished the story. So what did you end up saying to the person?

[Hannah]

Oh, I. I just. I was kind of proud. I stood up for myself, and I was like, I actually don't think I've said that. Which is, like, kind of awkward. Like, you don't want to have to say that. But I was like, I've never said that, and it's not what I. Yeah, I don't have imposter syndrome. And I'm happy to be here. I'm just happy to be here.

[Paige]

Happy to be involved.

[Hannah]

I'm happy to be involved. I love it.

[Paige]

You're doing great at your job. You're doing great.

[Hannah]

Did you ever have imposter syndrome and think how to. Whatever. Imposter syndrome is like, you telling yourself you shouldn't be here. Which I have had in other things. Yeah. Like tennis. I had imposter syndrome before because I'm

[Paige]

like, I'm not being a successful comedian. You're like, I know.

[Hannah]

That's just art. Like, I'm like, if the people laughed, you were funny.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Right.

[Hannah]

That. That really gets rid of your imposter syndrome once you get that first laugh. But, yeah, if you're a girl listening, you don't have to have imposter syndrome. It's not, like, part of our DNA. You can just, like, believe in yourself, and then when the good things happen, you go, yeah. I knew, like, paige, you don't have imposter syndrome.

[Paige]

No. I knew from a very young age that I was meant for more. I just knew it. I. There's actually so many different situations in my life that I was telling people, like, I was being rude to people, to be like, how dare you say, I'm not gonna do what I say I'm gonna do? Like, okay. You don't think you're gonna be famous? I do. Like, get away from. I always thought I was gonna be famous, actually. There was a moment when I was in my early 20s, I had just graduated college, I moved to New York City, and I had a moment where I was like, oh, my God. I said I was going to be famous by 17, and I'm, like, 23, and I, like, haven't done it yet. And I remember thinking, like, am I just going to, like, stay at my job and not try and getting really upset that I had, like, missed becoming famous?

[Hannah]

You're like, I'm 22. I missed it.

[Paige]

Well, I think I had a, like, modeling agent say, if you're not famous by 17. It's really hard to, to like break it.

[Hannah]

People love saying that stuff to people.

[Paige]

Yeah. And I think that like stayed in my head for however many years. And then I remember I got like, got summer house and I just thought, yeah, like I'm. This was supposed to happen because also

[Hannah]

you were so ready for your moment. Like when that happened, you'd been so over prepared and ready. Like when you sat down that confessional, you were like, I trained for this.

[Caller / Men's Wearhouse Ad Voice]

Go.

[Hannah]

It wasn't, oh no, what's happening to me? This is all unfamiliar. You had already seen it in your head a bazillion times. And like Ben perform, you saw yourself walking at the premiere already. You knew the outfit.

[Paige]

Totally. I knew, yeah. I knew I was meant to be on a red carpet getting in a fight with a paparazzi

[Hannah]

about smiling.

[Hannah]

I love having a Venmo balance. It makes me so happy and I'm buying nachos with it. My Venmo debit card goes crazy. I'm not gonna have so many nachos because my Venmo debit card, there's also

[Hannah]

I think it's time for a woman in STEM of the week. I have so many submissions now, weekly in my dms. It's. I'm overwhelmed. We actually have to hire a new employee to handle all the. All of those.

[Paige]

But because we want to highlight real women. Like, like everything. That started as a bit. So now I feel bad when the real women in STEM are like, hey, how about highlight us? And we're like, okay. But she, like, tied her hair with a cute bow.

[Hannah]

Yeah, no, I know. I was like, this is a bit. This girl was like, hey, I just graduated Cornell, like engineering science.

[Paige]

She's like, hey, I made the rocket. Any rocket. I made it. And we're like, okay, but did you use a straw as a makeup brush?

[Hannah]

No. These girls are so smart. One girls. I think she's like a doctor. She's like, I saved like the lives of two twins today. And I was like, hey, not really the right fit for the segment. It's not really the voice and, like, the angle we want, but, like, obsessed with your work.

[Paige]

And you do have imposter syndrome for our personal women of STEM of the week.

[Hannah]

But also, would you ever ask, like, a doctor, a female doctor, like, do you have imposter syndrome? When you go into surgery, it's like, no, this is who I am.

[Paige]

No, because if she said yes, you then realize you're dying in that moment. Like, that's this. If your doctor has imposter syndrome, that's really. Honestly, though, so many gynecologists I've gone to definitely have got imposter syndrome because they had no idea what the fuck was going on. Anyway, that's for a different pissed off of the week.

[Hannah]

So women of the week don't know her name or anything, but there is a girl going around who realized that you could do your own color analysis by just going to Home Depot. And you walk behind the wall of colors and you just take photos of yourself. And then color analysis are made up anyway. So you can then decide what you like, what's best for you.

[Paige]

Hannah, we have to go.

[Hannah]

No, I know. Well, okay. Do you think color analysis is messed up, is made up, but, like, you know, but we know when they show it, you'll be like, I like her in that color. And they're like, that's a horrible color. And I'm like, is it like. It'll be, like, the most subtle. I don't know.

[Paige]

I think there's obviously very. There can be subtle things that you're like, yeah, you could go either way. But I think it is real because there are sometimes, like, okay, like, colors

[Hannah]

wash me out for sure.

[Paige]

But a bunch of girls went to, like, somewhere and did it. Like, a bunch of influencers. I forgot it was like, an influencer trip or something. And you could. Like, when they. Like the blondes with blue eyes, when they did, like, the dark colors, you could instantly tell that they looked way better in, like, the bright colors because their eyes just popped and it looked. So I definitely think it's real. I think there are certain things if you have, like, a complex. Like, I think our complexion can go, like, both ways sometimes.

[Hannah]

I'm so flattered you're putting my complexion.

[Paige]

I know. Then I look down at you and

[Hannah]

I was like, no. So I'm told. I have.

[Paige]

She's way more fair skinned.

[Hannah]

I have olive undertones because of my Sicilian, which you have. But then because of my, like, European mutt, I have kind of rosacea. So I don't have rosacea. I just have a reddish hue that like.

[Paige]

Yeah, yeah, you don't have. Yeah. So do you know what colors you think you are? Or.

[Hannah]

I. I like, kind of. But, like, I would love to do a color analysis. But, like, I'm also like, yeah, someone has blue eyes. Wear blue. Okay. I don't even pay someone the fucking. I tell des, wear blue. Wear navy. Wear. Wear this shade of blue.

[Paige]

No, I need to go get it done.

[Hannah]

Also, I can't believe I didn't tell you this. My mom visited and I don't know, I feel like as you get older, you just, like, cherish every day with your mom where I'm. You're not like, okay, we're not gonna do anything. I'm like, what do we do? She told me that she had some friends playing mahjong and she doesn't know how to play. And I was like, I think you can, like, get mahjong lessons. So I went on Instagram and I was like, mahjong lesson DM someone. Next day, they came over to our house. Me, my mom, and two professional mah jong girlies put down the mah jong mat, and for three hours, I felt like I was at Harvard. We learned how to play mahjong. It's really difficult, but I felt like I was learning a new language. And I was like, I can't wait to Be in, like, a mahjong group drama.

[Paige]

Wait, wait, wait.

[Hannah]

Paige. Mahjong is taking over as, like, because it's kind of a language that, like, you need to know it to play it. And then once you're in it, it's like an art form. And it could take three hours. The game, it's basically like, I don't know if you ever played gin rummy with, like, your grandpa. Yeah, why would I bring him up?

[Paige]

It's like Rummy Cub, but with tiles.

[Hannah]

It's like Rummy Cub if you were on mushrooms and cocaine. So it's. And what. What people like is because aren't all

[Paige]

the tiles, like, pictures?

[Hannah]

They're gorgeous. They're all, like, glass, and they. The backs are really pretty. And you could do all different styles, but they all have, like, a certain thing that they're called, and it's based off of, like, the original game is Chinese, and this is really confusing, but every year there's a different card to, like, make the game more challenging that you play off of. It's, like, crazy. So now I have just so much respect for people who play mahjong because it's so complicated, but, like, now I, like, kind of want to be in a mahjong league.

[Paige]

It's so funny because my assistant, Josephine, is always trying to play games.

[Hannah]

Yeah, he loves a game. Like, anytime we're like, try responding to an email, and we have five, she'll

[Paige]

be like, how about we play cards? I'm like, we are in the middle of a shoe.

[Hannah]

You also, when there's a second you're watching your show, you're not, like, starting. Also, you're not learning a game. No.

[Paige]

The one day. The one day she did make me play cards. We were, like, at my apartment waiting for something, and, like, we just had time. And she was like, you know, we could. And I was like, well, do you even have it? And she was like, of course. I keep it in my bag. And now there's, like, this new game that she wants to teach me. And we were at a shoot today, and she was like, if I had brought it, like, we could have played it on set. And I'm like, we're at work, technically.

[Hannah]

Like, she's like, no, I actually canceled

[Paige]

the job, so I can start playing that unless I play with. Unless I bring her. So maybe, like, me, you, Grace, and Josephine join, like, some type of mahjong league. Yeah, Mahjong club.

[Hannah]

I just think, like, before phones, like, people play cards and games. I also heard, because I was talking to some people. This one woman has a 15 year old daughter who's obsessed with like buying a Walkman and like all the nostalgia of like the late 80s, early 90s. So like, the kids, I think after Gen Z, there's a generation that saw Gen Z and was like, wait, maybe we should not be online as much.

[Paige]

And then Gen Alpha's just as fucking.

[Hannah]

Maybe before Gen Alpha. But I think, like, it's funny, the world is realizing, like, we gotta undo some stuff because we've gone too far.

[Paige]

I think whatever our generation's kids are, they're gonna be fine. I think once, like the young, all the younger millennials have kids will save the world. It's fine. Just added to our goddamn tab of things that we've had to deal with. Now we have to fix the whole human race.

[Hannah]

Can I say one thing that pissed me off this week? Yes.

[Paige]

I love when other people get pissed off.

[Hannah]

A man, a man called me sweetheart.

[Paige]

Give me the context.

[Hannah]

Like, it was like in passing, like it was like an older man that was just like, do you know where this is, sweetheart? Like, not in a creepy way, but it's like, I think we're done with that. Like, I don't. Oh, you love that. I hate that.

[Paige]

I love that. Because, like, okay, how old?

[Hannah]

Not like 80. That's fine, that's okay. He was probably like 60.

[Paige]

Okay, so he's someone's dad.

[Hannah]

Yeah. Don't call me sweetheart. Also, I'm 34.

[Paige]

See, I don't hate it because you

[Hannah]

like being a sweetheart.

[Paige]

Am I around a lot of creepy men now? I'm like, wait a minute. No, because I feel like I've heard that growing up my whole life from either like my uncles or my dad's being like, sweetheart, can you get like,

[Hannah]

yeah, my dad never called me.

[Paige]

I don't know. But yeah, I guess like a man that you don't know.

[Hannah]

But also, I realize I am projecting. But like, yeah, in my household, I wasn't sweetheart. I was a bad bitch. So, like, when a man tries to infantilize me and call me sweetheart, I'm like, I'm nobody's sweetheart. I'll ruin your fucking life. Sweetheart. Sweetheart. I'm gonna start calling men sweetheart. Imagine I go, thanks, sweetheart. Thanks, sweetheart. That's how you know it's wrong. Because if I can't do it back to you, don't do it to me.

[Paige]

Even just the context in which I put that in, like, oh, well, I feel like there's a lot of men in my life that like, in my life, I've been called sweetheart. Is there anything that, like, our moms have called the boy? Like, any boy?

[Hannah]

Well, it's funny to think of, like, what boys call each other. They call each other boss, chief. Like, thanks, chief. Chief. They get chief and boss, and we get sweetheart or ma'. Am.

[Paige]

Yeah. Have you been called ma' am yet? Yeah.

[Hannah]

That's like a slur.

[Paige]

Yeah, I've been called ma' am by, like, a 15 year old. Well, it had to be 16 because it was like a valet parking attendant. And I looked and I was like, that just made me really upset. But. And then I ran the math in my head, like, yeah, he saw me and was like, this old is someone's mom.

[Hannah]

See, I have imposter syndrome where I think we're 27.

[Paige]

Not when you talk to someone that's like, 16. Yes. With us. Like, around people like us. Yeah. Talking to you. I'm 27. When I'm dealing with anyone under 25, a strong 33. I'm even pushing 40 because I'm like, you're doing what?

[Sponsor Voice 1]

With who?

[Paige]

Even my friends that are like, two years younger. I'm like, you're drinking at this hour?

[Hannah]

It's 11:00pm you know when you're talking to older people and they make references of, like, movies and actors, and you're like. And they're like, you know who that is? And you're like, no.

[Paige]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Hannah]

And you're like, that's so annoying. Like, why would you even say that? But then you literally do it to them. You're like, you don't know who Justin Timberlake is. And they're like, what? I'm like, you don't fucking know, you?

[Paige]

Well, in our defense, we didn't have social media to learn those things. They have social media. All our famous people are still famous for them.

[Hannah]

Des will bring something up and be like, you never saw that movie. I'm like, when did it come out? And he's like, 1992. I'm like, I couldn't walk. I was. I couldn't even put a sentence together. And what was it? I had to wait for a rerun that my dad had to click. Like, you know the chances.

[Paige]

I literally just stepped out of my mom's vagina. Give me a minute.

[Hannah]

Like, I don't even have my own room yet. Whatever happened to, hi, hello, how are you? And I, I guess some people's parents were a little more like, you gotta watch these cult classics. But, like, I was busy. And also, it literally was Every night my dad was watching the Knicks and then going during the commercial breaks, he would, like, go to the middle of the Godfather and I'd watch it from the. The middle. And then I'd go back.

[Paige]

I don't care as much. Like, when I meet someone younger and we're talking about something that's very millennial coded, and they're like, I haven't seen it or I don't know it, I don't get upset about that. I'm like, yeah, why would you? Unless you had an older sibling. But when I meet someone that's my age and I bring up a show and I'm like, for example, like Clarissa explains it all. Or like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Boy Meets World. And someone's like, oh, I didn't watch that. That's when I'm like, what were you doing? Because I was the same age and I know that it was a Friday night and it was TGIF Friday. So where were you when Boy Meets World was on? What were you watching?

[Hannah]

Wait, what's Clue? What's Clarissa? What's Clarissa? Who's Clarissa?

[Paige]

Clarissa explains it All.

[Hannah]

What is she explaining?

[Paige]

It was Melissa Joan Hart. Who is Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It was her show before it was Clarissa Explains it All.

[Hannah]

Okay.

[Paige]

And she sits in her room and the guy comes up from her window, you know.

[Hannah]

Okay, that's from 1991 to 1996. So you were watching reruns?

[Paige]

No, I was watching it in 1996

[Hannah]

when you were four.

[Paige]

It was on. Oh, maybe I was watching reruns.

[Hannah]

That. I'm just saying that was a throwback a little bit. You know, I hold you accountable.

[Paige]

I have it just distinct memory of watch Even Stevens.

[Hannah]

Like, put it into my veins. Yes. Even Steven.

[Paige]

Okay. Yeah. And okay, you know what? I digress.

[Hannah]

You know what? Like, it's been a fucking long day. It's one o'.

[Caller / Men's Wearhouse Ad Voice]

Clock.

[Hannah]

Like, even Stevens came out in 2000. We were on.

[Paige]

Wait, this is. This is actually really diabolical. Hannah's in a different time zone. And last night it was like, midnight New York time. And Hannah's like, we could do like a late night giggly episode. I'm like, it's midnight.

[Hannah]

I can't do giggly.

[Paige]

I was like, do you want to party? You're like, hey, want to sit for an hour, talk about everything that annoys us? Put it on the Internet.

[Hannah]

I do have to say, it would

[Paige]

have been an hour wait till the morning.

[Hannah]

I was, like, shooting something yesterday and a giggler was there and she's like, have you recorded the pod yet? I'm like, no. Like, should we record it tonight?

[Paige]

While you texted me that I was full face mask, hair mask, I was like, I'm a little busy.

[Hannah]

Well, that's what I. At night. You actually, like, have a second job at night, which is like, undoing the day and, like, being prepared for the next day, where I actually am kind of creatively at my peak. At 11pm when you share a bed

[Paige]

with a man, like, so many things can happen. But, like, one of the things is, like, them knowing your schedule. And, like, if I want to get up because you've already fallen asleep and I haven't even fallen asleep yet, and I want to do things downstairs, like, different projects on my own. Like, it's none of your business.

[Hannah]

Wait, projects? We have to do projects to stay sane?

[Paige]

Yeah. Like, if I get a hankering to organize my hair closet and the hair

[Hannah]

closet is right next to the bed, that's not my business.

[Paige]

Literally, I have to do.

[Hannah]

No, but My problem is Dez falls asleep during the Met game around 7:30. And then he. I put him down around set around 8. And then obviously I have to brush my teeth. Sometimes I have to shower like these. This is not conducive.

[Paige]

And sometimes I'll truly be laying in bed and this man will be falling asleep next to me, and I will be wide awake. And in my head I'll be like, I didn't have enough time with me today. And so I physically have to get up from the bed, go onto the couch, do something different, do something that's just for me. And I don't think there's enough women out here talking about what we're doing from the hours of a like, 10:30pm to like, I'm gonna say 2am I was gonna say, because I know there's a lot of women that are. Were up.

[Hannah]

There's a word for it where it's like, you have to make up for lost time and the day that you didn't spend by yourself.

[Paige]

Yes, that's how I feel. That's how I feel. If I worked all day, if I woke up with a man in the morning, I worked all day. And then I'm going home at and I'm getting in bed with that same said man. I had no time alone. I had no time alone.

[Hannah]

You're like, if it's a different man,

[Paige]

that's the whole time different situation.

[Hannah]

That's just trying out different flavors.

[Paige]

Yeah, you've got new things. Same man. You're like, I need to be alone for a second. That's when I scoop Kitty up.

[Hannah]

I was gonna say, does Kitty love this, like, second time of the day where you hang out alone with her? She loves it, yes.

[Paige]

Well, yeah, because, like, when I. When there's a man in bed, it's a different aura because, like, usually it's

[Sponsor Voice 1]

just the two of us.

[Paige]

She's on her side, I'm on my side. Like, she likes what I watch on T. We don't ever disagree about it. Like, she doesn't want any of my snacks. I don't want any of hers. So when there's a man in the bed, it throws off the whole situation.

[Hannah]

Yeah, Butter. When I'm just sleeping alone, she's literally. You could tell in her eyes. She's like, I could lay anywhere.

[Paige]

Kitty's purrs, go crazy. Don't even need a sound machine with us. Don't even need a sound machine. Just pet her head.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

It's the best.

[Hannah]

Anyway, you guys, it is going to be an amazing week for everyone. We love you so, so, so much, and thank you for giggling with us. Talk to you soon.

[Paige]

Bye.
