So crack one open today and let.
Hannah
The good times cruise.
Paige
Sup, Gigglers? Gary, fix your wi fi. Manifest that we can't be managed. I mean, the day just got away from me. What is up my. Get setting, Gigglers. Get it. Just setting with the G. Oh, I.
Hannah
Thought you were just so tired.
Paige
No, y'all. Okay.
Hannah
No, y'all, y'all.
Paige
We're saying y'all because we don't have the time to say you guys.
Hannah
And I guess we're in the South.
Paige
We're in the South. When you say y'all, you save so much time in your life. I saved like 40 minutes yesterday. We are in Durham, but we have had five shows in three days. And honestly, I'm feeling rejuvenated.
Hannah
That's crazy because I almost passed out on stage at the second Atlanta show, and I want to know if anyone. I wonder if anyone picked up. Like, my whole mood changed.
Paige
I know your mood changed, but, like, sometimes with the Q and A, like, we were having trouble hearing one girl, so I thought you were just having trouble hearing her.
Hannah
I was having trouble hearing, but I also was having trouble seeing.
Paige
I kind of love that you could not hear or see or talk. And I was like, you seem normal, but she walks off stage and you go, I'm literally going to faint. Which you've done multiple times.
Hannah
Multiple times. Well, I felt so bad because when we ended the second Atlanta show, like, we hug, and then we usually, like, turn and, like, say bye to everyone. And I. They ran off because I was like, I'm going to fall to the ground.
Paige
I was overcompensating because I was like. That looked kind of cunty. So then I was, like. I was touching everyone in the front row. I was, like, holding. I was basically giving my phone to everyone. The front row because I was holding, like, something else in my other hand.
Hannah
And I was backstage, like, vomiting.
Paige
Well, I went out, and I was like, you have an Ian. And then we, like, were arguing about if you had a quesadilla or not.
Hannah
I had a quesadilla. And then she literally, like a true Italian mother, she force fed me a banana.
Paige
Yeah, I forced a banana. But look, that was after five shows. Honestly, for 4.87 shows, you were incredible.
Hannah
Well, this has been child labor for sure. And I thought I was doing good because I've been drinking my Stanley. I've been taking my vitamins. I think what also happens is when we do live shows, I love doing live shows, and they're so much fun, but I actually get so nervous before, and I don't think anyone would, like, pick up on it. So I think I, like, stress my own body out with, like, being nervous to go on stage in front of, like, 2,500 people.
Paige
That's like, when, like, runners, you're like, why didn't he win? He's faster. But it's like his nerves were so intense that, like, his body just, like, couldn't compete.
Hannah
So, like, when I'm up on stage, I'm scared the whole time.
Paige
I feel like you're nervous the first six minutes.
Hannah
Yeah, but that. But last night, for whatever reason, I just felt like. I don't know. I don't know if it's because we were in Atlanta and I was like, oh, my God. This is, like, a lot of people. And like, we're in Atlanta, like, perfect. You have to be good.
Paige
The Hollywood of the South.
Hannah
Yeah. And I don't know if that's, like, what it was.
Paige
I'm gonna tell you what it was. Your high pony was too tight.
Hannah
No, my high pony was way too tight.
Paige
I think you literally cut off circulation to your brain.
Hannah
Because it happened when I crossed my legs. Like, no liter. Literally, like, four minutes after I, like, got into a different position and crossed my legs, I was like, oh, maybe I'm cutting off my circulation also, by.
Paige
The way, Paige sits the entire time.
Hannah
No, I sit the entire time because I shake, like, when I'm holding the microphone. And so, like, getting up is not an option for me. I'm like, too nervous.
Paige
But the gigglers have all. First of all, everyone looks gorgeous. And I have been getting messages being like, what do we wear on tour? Paige and I go off, like, where you. No one will ever be overdressed because.
Hannah
Yeah, Paige.
Paige
Paige wore a belt as a skirt one of the nights. And not sitting outfits as you said.
Hannah
No, I've been wearing standing outfits, which is my own fault.
Paige
She's wearing, like, house to car outfits, you know?
Hannah
Yeah. I'm wearing shoes that are car to table shoes.
Paige
Yes. And I wore terry cloth hooded corset. Nobody anticipated that.
Hannah
No, that was. That was.
Paige
Well, then I. Some girls can, like. It's like, girls who could pull off hats can pull off hoods.
Hannah
We. Interesting.
Paige
I've thought about this a lot. I have, like, even though my head looks big, I actually have a small head, so I don't even get to have a cute. It looks big anyway. It's not. So I put a hood on. I look like a sperm. Yeah.
Hannah
You never wear a baseball hat to, like, the airport.
Paige
No. I also feel like if I'm trying to be, like, cool and incognito, more people look at me when I have a hat on because they're like, that girl looks stupid in that hat.
Hannah
See, I don't know what it is about the airport. I can't go to the airport without a baseball hat. I feel exposed, and I feel like it also partly keeps my head warm.
Paige
You look so chic in your baseball hat.
Hannah
I love wearing a baseball hat. My mom hates when I wear one.
Farnoosh Tarabi
But I love them.
Hannah
I think they can be so cute, and they're just easy. And at the airport, like, no, you need it. It, like, helps when you're trying to sleep. You, like, pull it down. You can't see anyone.
Paige
I put my headphones on with wires. So everyone knows I'm listening to something even when I'm not. Also, Paige, the first flight, I'm, like, taking down my bag, and my wired.
Hannah
Headphones get stuck in my wheel.
Paige
In her wheel. And she's looking at me like, are you kidding me with your. This is a bit that's gone too far.
Hannah
I was like, I'm gonna have to rip the headphone.
Paige
And then you took your long ass fingers, and you somehow, like, untangled.
Hannah
Untangled within three seconds before we had to, like, walk off.
Paige
Yeah. I was so scared.
Hannah
Like, everyone's gonna yell at us.
Paige
I was so scared. I do have to say, I think this show is better than last show.
Hannah
I think it is too, because I think it's. I think it's more niche, like, but I think it's more girly.
Paige
Well, we've evolved. I feel like the first show, like, I loved so much, and I really was like, I don't think we can beat it. And then now we're just, like. We've grown. We've learned. We've. We know what works, and we have so many more inside jokes. Like, it's just like. And I feel like the gigglers also are just, like, stronger.
Hannah
No, it. It has been so much fun, and it has been.
Paige
We just started the tour, like, crazy. Like, it wasn't like, oh, let's do, like, one show.
Hannah
No, it was, like, six shows. Boom, boom, boom.
Paige
Yeah. And we have one more tonight.
Hannah
And I hate every airport.
Paige
I just think every airport's the same, and I don't even process the airport. I'm just like, I'm in another airport. I'm in another hotel.
Hannah
I do want to say, even though we have been on tour and we've been in four cities, we've done six shows, it has not kept me from my personal shows.
Paige
Oh, I know. Which I'm very impressed by.
Hannah
I finished the entire season. First season of Secret Lives of Mormon Moms. Mormon Wives. Whatever.
Paige
Paige thought. Paige Grace thought it was. I'm calling butter. I'm calling everyone the wrong name. Grace thought it was a documentary, so she started watching it and was like, this is reality tv.
Hannah
It's a full reality TV show.
Paige
Yeah. What are your thoughts?
Hannah
I have so many. And I know we do have some Mormon gigglers, and I'm not trying to.
Paige
No, but the mormling giggle. They get it.
Hannah
I'm not trying to alienate a religious group by any means. You guys are in a cult, and it's so scary. Here's what I think is what I Relate to it. And what I think is the scariest part, obviously, I grew up very, like, went to a Catholic school my whole life. Like, grew up a little bit more conservative. And so, like, I know the shame I have around, like, sex that, like, it takes you in your 20s that you have to almost, like, have a conversation with yourself. Like, you're not a bad person if you, like, have sex with people.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And so to watch these girls be in their. Like, they're in such a range of their twenties and have, like. No. Have such shame around sexual activity.
Paige
Even with their marriage.
Hannah
Yeah. And kids, like, they're not allowed to, like, bring up certain things in front of their husbands or, like, talk about things with their friends.
Paige
Roaming in that house for 10 minutes.
Hannah
It's so crazy because it's like, the generational trauma that is.
Paige
But why. It's crazy, too. I feel like when you're suppressed, you're, like, worse.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
It's like a kid who didn't have candy as a kid when they finally realized they could eat candy and they just, like, overdose. So it's like these girls. I don't. I didn't watch it. Okay. When you were on the plane, I was watching on the side, and I was like, why is Whitney crying in the first episode? I totally get, like, second season, third season crying. Like, I'll do it all day. First episode crying is wild behavior.
Hannah
Wild behavior. Also, like, there's one girl, I can't even remember her name. She had a baby when she was 16, and then she married the guy, and he was, like, four years older than her. And I was like, do the math. Anyone talking about how that's pedophilia? Like, you can't have a baby at 16 with someone in your 20s.
Paige
Also, more importantly, they all have the same hair extensions. Like, the same wave. Like, it's the same from the same.
Hannah
Horse or don't know what that is.
Paige
That's all look exactly the same. To the point that in one of the early episodes that I was watching from over your shoulder, they're wearing sweatshirts with their names on it. So you can identify them. If you are casting me a long.
Hannah
Time to get everyone's name, because I was like, they all look the same.
Paige
And I don't know if they're all, like, kind of related. I don't want to throw that out there. But, like, they have, like, a similar look. Except, like, the one. One girl has short hair, which is Whitney.
Hannah
Some of them. I'm not sure if they know that their husbands are Gay. I'm pretty sure the husbands know that they're gay. It's very. It's so crazy. And then there's this one girl, she's married to. You can. He has crazy eyes. Like, you can tell. You know how you. Have you been seeing that thing on Tick Tock where you can tell a guy's a narcissist by smile?
Paige
Have you seen space above his eye?
Hannah
It's like they have, like, different. Like their eyes are dead. Like, you're looking at them and it looks like there's no emotion behind their eyes.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
This guy is going to be on an episode of Snap. He is one of the scariest people on reality tv. I think I've ever.
Paige
Like, the producers are happy.
Hannah
Producers are jumping for joy at Hulu.
Paige
Well, also, these girls are not just like people that they approach. Like, these girls were trying to be famous. They kept calling it Mom Talk.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
And I thought they were saying Montauk. And I was like, is this a new episode of Summer House?
Hannah
I thought they all had one TikTok that they posted from that was called Mom Talk. No, it was just like a trend of moms posting videos.
Paige
So they're all trying to get famous through that.
Hannah
Yeah. But they keep being like, the essence of Mom Talk. I was like, no one, actually.
Paige
You guys made this up.
Hannah
Yeah. This is not. No one gives a fudge about Mom Talk.
Paige
Work on the White salamander shit. I've looked into it. It's. It's wild stuff. But you also feel like these girls, they're ready to do good tv because they've been. They're like, okay.
Hannah
They're airing it out. They're saying every.
Paige
This is our time to shine. We're on, like, Real TV. This isn't TikTok. And they're going hard, but it's.
Hannah
It's kind of so scary. And then, like, the main girl, her name's Taylor and I'm Team Taylor. She cries the whole time because, like, her, first of all, her mom is so mean to her. I want to be like, you're the reason she's like this. You've literally shamed her for every decision she's ever made.
Paige
Is she. Is this after her? Everyone was swinging.
Hannah
Yeah. And there she. There's not. The swingers aren't even on the show. She's the only swinger. It's all like these other girls that are just Mormons and moms.
Paige
It's also so funny because it's like, if you all just stopped being so upset that Someone had an orgasm. Like, we all could just go about our lives.
Hannah
Here's the one interesting thing. So they don't drink alcohol. They're not supposed to drink coffee, but.
Paige
They can do Adderall, which is crack cocaine.
Hannah
So, like, around their town in Utah, there's all, like, soda shops. So they go into these different soda.
Paige
Shops, like the 1920s.
Hannah
Yes. And they get these massive sodas with all these different sugars and, like, things in them. Because that's, like, their violation stimulation and that alone. I'm like, you guys need to figure it out. But I will say, if there was a soda shop in New York City, it probably would freak, because I do love soda. But I'm allowed to drink coffee and alcohol.
Paige
Also, can I just shout out. I'm one of those people. Like, because I'm not that into drinking right now. I will order a $14 mocktail.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
And, like, the people I'm with will be like, do you want another one? And I'm like, no. And they're like, have another one. I'm like, I can handle one For a Starbucks refresher. I'm not getting another fourth. I'm not spending $50 on juice tonight.
Hannah
No. It's crazy. And then they all go to Vegas for, like, a cash trip, whatever. And the one girl. They're all going to Chippendales. And the one girl's husband tells her that if she goes to the Chippendale show, she will be single, he will divorce her, and it'll be really hard for her to be a single mom. She like. It's just the. I'm like, how is your mom not watching this and immediately yanking you out of your own home with your husband?
Paige
The most important thing is them having a husband, which.
Hannah
And he is fucking crazy.
Paige
Talk about the opposite of decentering men.
Hannah
Here's the other thing. They are all the breadwinners in their home.
Paige
What?
Hannah
Yes. Every single one of them. Some of their husbands don't even fucking work.
Paige
What if that.
Hannah
You could not give me two seconds.
Paige
In that town if I've bought everything in the house. You're cleaning, bro. No, Mama's been working, like, get.
Hannah
I'd be like, get out of my house.
Paige
Well, that's actually so interesting. Because the Mormon religion, the women were just caretakers. And because of technology, they have now, like, started this new group of women who make money accidentally from just being interesting.
Hannah
And I will say some of the women are married to men that, like, it doesn't seem like that's the norm in their House. Like, they don't seem controlling and they don't. Whatever. But, like, as I'm watching this and as I watch, like, certain things that are like this, where it's like a documentary or whatever, rather than, like, thinking about, oh, I wonder what I would have been like if I grew up like this or, like, this was my life. I relate it more to, like, me having a daughter and being like, oh, my God, I hope, like, my daughter never. I need to, like, teach my daughter X, Y, and Z. Like, if you're the breadwinner, you're fucking in charge. If you want to have sex at a normal fucking age, here's. Here's how you do it. Some of these girls didn't know how to have sex when they got married. Like, that's just mind blowing because, yeah.
Paige
They'Re not talking to each other because they're judging each other. If someone knows something, I could not.
Hannah
Stop thinking that, like, they all have, like, 10 fucking kids. What is your daughter going to think when she sees you just hysterically crying because her dad is a fucking psychopath? Like, it just. I.
Paige
Are the kids on it?
Hannah
No, the kids aren't on it. Which I think is best. I don't think that they should be on it.
Paige
Yeah, it's.
Hannah
They're actually talking about some of the craziest shit. Like, it's way more serious so than I think people think, because. Because, like, it is a reality show and it's like, no, these women are actually most of them. It feels like they have. What's that syndrome where you fall in love with your kidnapper?
Paige
Munchausen?
Hannah
No.
Paige
I just wanted to say Munchausen.
Hannah
Well, because, like, they're like, no one's ever loved me like this.
Paige
It's like, no, you've got.
Hannah
You've never met anyone.
Paige
You've never met anyone.
Hannah
You literally married him at 17. Yeah.
Paige
No, wait. So it's different than the Salt Lake City housewives because these are, like, young girls.
Hannah
They range from, like, 21 to, like, 30.
Paige
Is salt. Is Salt Lake City Housewives.
Hannah
Not all of them are even Mormon.
Paige
They're not even.
Hannah
And they're like. I feel like housewives of Salt Lake City are, like, Mormon. Ish.
Paige
Well, do they talk about the thing where they put the penis in the armpit? What the is that? No, it's called. We. We've talked. We talk about this every episode.
Hannah
Penis in the armpit.
Paige
They. If instead of sex, they do all these things. So they put a guy's penis in their armpit with lou and they jerk them off and they, like, let him. Or they'll do the. What's it called? Where you bounce on the bed. Because, like, soaking, soaking. They do the soaking. And it's so hard because, like, I'm from Brooklyn, New York. A bunch of hippies.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
Who, like, at 4 years old, they were like, you can have two dads. And, like, sex is beautiful. So, like, I really have a hard time comprehending it.
Hannah
No, it is. And, like, that's why I said, like, I'm not. Like, I'm not naive to growing up, like, conservative and being taught. Like, when I was in high school, you were just taught, sex is bad. You don't do it till you're married. Like, that was the overall arching message in my brain. Like, you don't have sex. It's. You're like a bad person if you do it too young.
Paige
Use a condom. That's all I was, like, told, like, use a condom. Yeah, be safe. When.
Hannah
And so theirs is just, like, such an extreme. And it's like, the shame you must have around, like, your own self and your own body must be so unbearable. I couldn't. I couldn't imagine.
Paige
And it's all just inflicted by their social norms.
Hannah
And here's the other thing one of the girls said in the show that I don't think anyone's, like, bringing attention to. Whitney was, like, yelling at Taylor for something, and she said the phrase, you're giving ID Golf energy. And I go, what the fuck is ID Golf energy? And then I thought about it, and it was an. The acronym. Like, I don't give a fuck. But she said it out, and I was like, that, you guys need to be stopped.
Paige
That's the most fucked up thing that's happened on the show so far.
Hannah
I'm calling the police. Like, And I was like, oh, maybe that's a Gen Z thing. But she's 30. And I was like, okay, bitch. No. Like, you can't go around saying, I dig off.
Paige
Like, that's where we put our foot down.
Hannah
Like, that's where I'm drawing the line.
Paige
I watched a crazy documentary about Hope Solo on Netflix.
Hannah
Oh, yeah.
Paige
I think it's an untold. So Hope Solo was basically the face of soccer. Woman's soccer. And then she just, like, disappeared.
Farnoosh Tarabi
Well, didn't she get arrested?
Paige
She was arrested. There was some shit that went down, but it's like, her story.
Hannah
Okay.
Paige
First of all, she's gorgeous. And, like, I'm such a badass. Has, like, the sweetest little voice. And she's not put. At first, I was like, she putting this on to be, like, sweet. Like, like old videos. She talks. She talks like this, I hope solo, but she's, like, 6:2 and, like, like a beast. Incredible athlete. So she has this crazy story that, like, her mom and dad divorced, and then her dad became homeless.
Hannah
Okay.
Paige
So she was literally, like, playing soccer. And one day they were like, there's a man in the woods, and he says, he's your dad. And she was like, dad. And she, like. But she was very, like, loving about it. Like, he would just go to all the games. Like, she got him a sweatshirt. And, like, she just, like, was she still, like, proud?
Hannah
She would leave tickets for every game in case he came.
Paige
Yeah. Like, he just supported her, but, like, he was clearly going through. They. Look, there's a lot of things they didn't talk about.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
But, like, that was. Yeah. Like, I need a little more context. She was like, yeah, my dad was homeless, but, like, so good at cheering on the sidelines. And I'm like, I feel like there's more to that.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
But she didn't come from a lot of money, and she ended up getting promoted. And she gets all the way to, like, the World cup or something. And they finally put her in. Like, they finally put her in to be the starting goalie, and she's doing amazing, and she gets all the way to the finals. And the. The girls basically tell the coach they don't want Hope Solo to be a goalie in the game. They want the older goalie to, like, finish her career in the final game. And Hope is like, I got us here.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
Why would you put a goalie. It's not as good as me.
Hannah
In for the final game.
Paige
For the final game.
Hannah
Okay. I'm on Hope's side.
Paige
And then they lose in the finals.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
And Hope is very. She speaks her mind.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
So she basically was like, I told you, like, that girl's not as good as me. They shouldn't have put her in. Like, she said it in an interview. Something along those lines.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
And, like, we've all been loosey goosey on an interview before.
Hannah
And, like, she was speaking her truth.
Paige
She spoke her truth. But, like, I didn't play a team sport probably for good reason, but, like, me there. I don't believe team sports. It's like, it's. The team is number one.
Hannah
Organized, fun, little eerie.
Paige
It's giving more men. It's giving more men. Team sports are cold.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
But it was very, like, the team comes first you don't talk individually or bash a teammate or a coach, which, like, I. That's like, what they believe.
Farnoosh Tarabi
Camaraderie.
Paige
Camaraderie. Which. It's a cute idea.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
So.
Hannah
But also, if you're a bitch, I'm going to say you're a fucking badge.
Paige
So she just felt like the team turned on her, went behind her back, like, didn't put her in. And then everyone loses. And she was just upset. After she did that, the team basically, like, X's her out. Like, just like, you're done.
Hannah
We're not your friend.
Paige
They get a new coach, and eventually they try to mend the relationship and get her back on the team.
Hannah
Oh, she legit got kicked off the team.
Paige
It was like no one was talking to her. It was, like, really weird. But soccer is weird because it's like they have their own local teams, then every couple years, they do the United States team. I don't know all the soccer. It's very confusing. So she's back, and then she basically gets. She blows up. Like, no one knows about men's soccer. All they know is about women's U.S. soccer. Hope Solo is everywhere. I remember this time, and she's like, amazing.
Hannah
But it's like, 2008.
Paige
I feel like, yeah, 2008. To, like, honestly, 2015.
Hannah
Okay.
Paige
So she's just killing it. And she basically says, I found out something I wasn't supposed to find out. And basically there was, like, an email chain saying, like, how much money the girls were making and she wanted something to be paid, but basically the women were making, like, less than a teacher salary.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
And they were, like, the face of soccer. And the men were getting paid, like, millions of dollars.
Hannah
And they, like, were probably losing.
Paige
And they were losing.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
So Hope Solo basically, like, gets her lawyer and lawyers up and is like, guys, we have to fight title nine, like, for us to get paid more.
Hannah
This is a perfect example of the wage gap. I once had a guy tell me that the wage gap wasn't real and asked me if I looked it up online. And I was like, have you, you fucking weirdo? But that's a perfect example. They're doing the exact same thing.
Paige
Well, also, they're getting more ticket sales. They're getting more exposure. Like, Hope people are just were obsessed with it. And. And at the time, the US Men's soccer team wasn't doing as well. So anyway, she finds out, and clearly she's an outspoken person, and. But how U.S. soccer, they have. They're very powerful. She was saying like, they're kind of like, if you don't go with my rules, we will. You.
Hannah
The U.S. soccer team is Mormon.
Paige
And yes. Wait, it's all coming together now. But they're basically like, the bigger, larger organization needs to be protected. But the organization is run by these old, selfish white dudes. Sorry. I don't give a fuck about US soccer being mad at me. They're right.
Hannah
Literally, there's. I couldn't think of something I could care about.
Paige
If you Google it, it's super corrupt, and there's just these old men running U.S. soccer.
Hannah
Came for giggly squad. I literally welcome.
Paige
Please, please. So she gets a bunch of girls actually on her side to start fighting for this. Then something happens where, like, I think she said another thing that was just, like, loosey goosey.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
I forget what it was, but it wasn't very bad. Like, it was kind of like a Serena Williams thing where Serena does something, and if a dude did it, everyone would be like, yeah, he was upset. But when a girl does it, they're like, she's a monster.
Hannah
Yeah, she's crazy.
Paige
So she gets fired. Like, fired. And then she thinks it's because she was the one who was, like, doing the wage gap stuff. And then when she's gone, the girls then start their own. Like, they continue it without her, and they get a settlement for, like, 25 million. But, like, a settlement is not what they needed. They needed, like, the rules change. Don't just give, like, what you thought we might have been owed.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
But then in the meantime, like, Hope gets into, like, a big family brawl and she gets arrested for, like, punching someone.
Hannah
I think she punched, like, her sister or something.
Paige
Yeah. And, like, where blurry, which is interesting.
Hannah
Because, yes, I think she ended up getting arrested for domestic violence. We don't have sisters, but from what I hear about sisters, punching each other in the face is the fucking norm.
Paige
And we don't condone violence. I know multiple siblings, boys and girls who have broken each other's bones, killed each other, and then the next day, they're good.
Hannah
But one time, I kicked my brother in the throat, and I called 911 on myself.
Paige
I said, I.
Hannah
Yes. I said I kicked my brother in the throat. I don't think he can breathe.
Paige
Did you karate kick him?
Hannah
No, I kicked him. I was laying like this. Okay. And he was laying on the other end of the couch. So we were, like, feet to head, and he was pissing me off about something, so I just kicked him right in the throat, and he was like, well, he has asthma. And so he literally started dying. And my mom was upstairs and I was little, I was only like 6 years old. And I got so scared, so I started crying. And then I called 911 giving JonBenet Ramsey.
Paige
Oh, my God. Wait, so apparently. Sorry, I've been scrolling my phone. Apparently someone said the dad was like, no one's checked who the male DNA was on JonBenet Ramsey. And everyone's like, yeah, because it was the brother and you didn't want people to look at it.
Hannah
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The dad recently said no one's checked.
Paige
The male DNA on jump.
Hannah
How does he know it was male DNA?
Paige
That's a good question. Look, I cannot do follow up questions. I'm just saying random stuff that I can.
Hannah
We know this poor girl. Rest in peace. I mean, every couple years they're bringing up JonBenet Ramsey. Either figure it out or let it go, period. I have seen a conspiracy theory that people think that Katy Perry is jumping Ramsey. And that's one I like to go with.
Paige
Wait, I like that.
Hannah
Me too. I'm like, that makes me feel bad.
Paige
I keep getting Avril videos of her on stage and people being like, that's not her.
Hannah
No. I love conspiracy theories. That there's like multiple celebrities, like look alikes that go. Honestly, guys, if you catch Giggly Squad live tonight and you feel like something's a little bit off, I. I found a doppelganger. I'm in the bed. We just started our tour, which means we are tired.

Also, side note, I did want to tell you I've been having, like, serious anxiety because my apartment is not handled well.
Hannah
Your apartment?
Paige
My apartment. It's gotten. I've lost control of the plot. And some say it's because I'm a creative. Some people say it's because I.
Hannah
That's you. You're.
Paige
By some people, I said, it's Cosmo Creative. And I've been, like, nervous to work with, like, an organization, organization, company. Because, like, they even were like, can you send pictures? And I was like, I don't feel comfortable.
Hannah
You're ashamed?
Paige
Yes. Like Mormon shame. Because it's not okay. Like, it's giving. Hoarder.
Hannah
I was just gonna say, do you feel like you may have a little bit of a hoarding tendency?
Paige
No.
Hannah
No. You like, throwing things away.
Paige
I'm. I'm decisive. I want it all gone. It's just I. Whenever I'm home from tour, like, I don't have the energy to organize. And organize doesn't fulfill me. Like, I'd rather edit a video.
Hannah
Mmm.
Paige
Like, my mom, when she's stressed, she's cleaning.
Hannah
Same.
Paige
When I'm stressed, I'm eating.
Hannah
I actually saw a thing that it said, if you're like, girlfriend or wife just, like, starts cleaning, it's because it's organ. She. It this particular thing. She can organize, and she can't organize what's going on in her brain, so it helps. And I feel like that is so me.
Paige
Someone once told me, like, a clean room is a clean mind. And I never took that to heart.
Hannah
No, I'm very much like that. Like, if my area and space is messy, I'm uncomfy.
Paige
But basically, I. Because I'm, like, fully convinced I have adhd. Like, most gigglers are. Like, you are a spokesperson for ADHD based on just listening to me talk in conversation. So I trust the gigglers. But basically, like, I focus so well when the dopamine is right. So, like, you know, like. Like, on stage, I'm like, on.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
Where, like, if the Dopamine from, like, me doing the dishes is not hitting. I can't get myself to do it. So, like, with adhd, it's like a. You're chasing dopamine.
Hannah
Like, I'll have so much on my to do list. And I'm like, what really needs to be done is my pantry.
Paige
See, I will never choose a pantry over, like, work. No, I won't even work out because I'm like, I have an email.
Hannah
No, I'm like that too. I mean, I'll find. I'll be like, I sneezed. I can't work out. That's crazy. I might choke.
Paige
I do want to do a shout out to. Okay. It's called Heart and Company. Underscore these. This woman and these girls. Two of them came over, were so amazing. First she comes.
Hannah
Oh, you got it done. You're done.
Paige
I'm halfway done.
Hannah
They were you there?
Paige
I was with them.
Hannah
Okay.
Paige
I. They worked from. I felt like a princess. I was like, throw it away.
Hannah
Yeah, it's very.
Paige
It's. No.
Hannah
Yes.
Paige
Cut his head off.
Hannah
It's very.
Paige
Just lie down the whole time. Like, yes. No cake for you. So they are from Boston, but they just moved to New York. And they. I basically was like, you guys are so fucking good. Can we hook up the gigglers? And they basically said, if you just say Hannah to them, like, message them being like, Hannah or give a discount. They want to give a free consultation. Like, they'll come over to your place and be like, this is what we'll do. This is the problem here. Da, da, da. My thing is she sees my closet and she's like, are you. How do you function with having different hangers? And I was like, what?
Hannah
None of your hangers match?
Paige
And she's like, your hangers don't match. And I go, I didn't even know my hangers don't match. Like, you're creating. You're creating a problem I didn't even know I had. And she was like, well, we're getting rid of these immediately. And I was like, those are a lot of hangers.
Hannah
When I hired my assistant, I said, there's one rule and there's one rule only. If a different hanger comes into this home, we immediately throw it away.
Paige
I didn't even know that was a thing. I didn't even know matching hangers were a thing.
Hannah
That's insane. I thought that was stores. What are the hangers you're using?
Paige
I thought it was exclusively for storage.
Hannah
That was exclusively for socks.
Paige
I don't even know how. I, like, accumulated all my hairs over the years.
Hannah
What's your. What's the majority of your hangers?
Paige
It's diverse. It's your plastic. Plastic. Felt, light, dark, whatever the mood.
Hannah
And I have the clear hangers from the Container Store. I feel like some gigglers haven't ever heard of the Container Store. But if you live in New York City, then, you know they're clear, like, plastic, so. And they're super thin so you can fit more clothes. And you don't really see them because they're. They're the best.
Paige
My thing is, I actually am a minimalist. Like, and. Well, first of all, until I was like, 22, I only wore tennis clothes and, like, the same five tennis clothes rotated. And then I guess I got some clothes, but I really wore the same clothes. Like, I started buying clothes, like, with Summer House, because I had to. But I. Let's be honest, I didn't buy that many clothes.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
And then I started performing. So it's like costumes where, like, you have. I wore the same black Amazon dress for a long time, and I was getting hate, like, that.
Farnoosh Tarabi
You love that dress.
Paige
Love that. Because it was like, I didn't have to choose a fucking outfit.
Hannah
You knew it looked good.
Paige
But, like, sometimes the more stuff you have, the, like, more overwhelmed you feel. Someone said, like, life is not about things you have. It's like the chase to get stuff. It's not getting it.
Hannah
Oh, my God.
Paige
Like, you. Once you got stuff you don't, you actually, like, feel like, suffocating. Yeah. Like, life is not about getting stuff. It's the path to, like, what you want. Like, it's hope and it's excitement.
Hannah
I will say I do love getting.
Paige
Stuff, but there is a point where, like, you start feeling weighed down by it. And I started to. I. I had all these tours, and then, like, I just had all these luggages from, like, that was my trip to Dublin, and that's my trip to, you know, West Hampton. It was all still in the suitcases, piled up and then old. I just. I lost control and I, like, was avoiding my apartment. And then, like, it was. No, it was really, really, really bad.
Hannah
I was like, I'm not going anywhere.
Paige
I almost was like, like, do I buy another apartment?
Hannah
Just burn it.
Paige
I was like, burn it down. Burn it to the ground. Like, I literally was like, maybe we just let this go sell the apartment and get a new one. Like, I was at that place and then these girls came over and they were so kind and nice. They actually Walked in, and they were like, finally. And I'm like, what do you mean? She goes, we wanted something good. Everyone's apartment's been, like, neat. They were like, we wanted mess.
Hannah
They were like, this is the worst we've ever seen. We're pumped.
Paige
They were like, this is the kind of project we want. And I go, I'm sorry I didn't send you photos. I, like, didn't want you to get scared and not come. Like, I thought they were gonna be like, oh, actually. Oh, we actually are busy. And they were, like, so excited. And I just realized in life, like, ask for help. Ask for help. And also, getting married does not help, like, getting married, because you have double the stuff. You double the stuff. And I'm not taking care of his. So it's just, like, me times two. So anyway, shout out to Heart and company. I'm obsessed with these girls.
Hannah
Thank God you had that done.
Paige
They're amazing. I love them. Okay, next up on the. On the ballot.
Hannah
Wait, let me just say this. I have a small Daphne update. I. I feel like a really absent mother.
Paige
No, I know. It's been, like, three.
Hannah
I missed her first baby tooth fall out.
Paige
Wait, I didn't even know they did fall out.
Hannah
Yeah, her baby teeth, they fall out at, like, between, like, when she's born. Like, at, like. Like, around six months.
Paige
I think I got butter. At, like, around, like, seven months.
Hannah
So she probably. They all probably already were out.
Paige
Wait, so also, you have, like, a. The cutest cat sitter who's sending you paragraph novels of how Daphne is, which is so cat lady coded.
Hannah
No, I'm obsessed with my cat sitter because they type it as if it's like, 1905. No, like, 1800s. Love.
Paige
Daphne woke up, like, letter.
Hannah
Like, I'm away at war.
Paige
Yes.
Hannah
Like, they use the word whilst and shit. And I'm obsessed.
Paige
But I feel like when people have a dog, they're like, here's. You know, here's.
Hannah
Here's Jeremy, and he ate, and now he's running around.
Paige
They're like, daphne woke up feeling a little sad from her nap, and then she walked over to the living room and licked.
Hannah
They're like, she strutted over to her water bowl. I'm like, I'm obsessed with you people.
Paige
Well, you also have that technology where you can see my furbo. See, I would die if I had a furball. First of all, I wouldn't pay attention to anyone. I'd be just like, I'm furboying.
Hannah
No, I mean, catch me on Summer house this summer, laying in my bed furboing my dog, so. Or my cat. Oh, my God.
Paige
Well, Daphne's dog is dog coded.
Hannah
No, she is. She gives dog energy.
Paige
Wait, so we've. We didn't tell anyone about, like, the US Open yet?
Hannah
Oh, no, we didn't.
Paige
He went to the US Open. I wore kitten heels.
Hannah
You were kitten heels. You love those kitten heels, Zara.
Paige
I'm still wearing them.
Hannah
No. They're so comfy. Right There's.
Paige
That's all I care about is comfort.
Hannah
Zara, shoes are pretty comfortable, and they are sized. I actually think they're sized a little big. So, like, sometimes I get a six and a half, even though I'm a seven. But those were a seven, so I felt like they fit you better.
Paige
And they're. I love it. A little wide.
Hannah
Yeah, they're a little wide.
Paige
Like my. No, I'm just kidding. So we had like. Like, we had fun.
Hannah
We had so much fun.
Farnoosh Tarabi
First of all, I didn't know there was an Italy.
Hannah
I, like, forgot about that.
Paige
Well, the Open has officially become, I guess, you know, honestly, since COVID I think events are now, like, cherished.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
That's why, like, live shows are so cool, and, like, celebrities going to events are so cool. But when I saw Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce show up at the Open, I was like, oh, God, the Open, just, like, it's going to become so popular now.
Farnoosh Tarabi
So happy you brought this up.
Paige
Don't you dare.
Hannah
I have to.
Paige
What?
Hannah
I literally have to. There's something about a man in a bucket hat that, for me, personally, I'm against it. I'm fully against it. I might draw up a petition, and there's something about a man in a Gucci bucket hat with a Gucci matching polo shirt that I'm really not here for. If any other man did this and it wasn't Taylor Swift's boyfriend, people would be rioting.
Paige
Well, he does it with, like, kind of a. What's it called? In cheek. In his cheek. Cheeky. Tongue in cheek. I think it's tongue in cheek, but it's like, he's goofy, he's funny. I want to know the conversation of when they're getting ready. She's like, what are you gonna wear, babe? And is she like, I'm obsessed with that outfit. I love you for you. But also, did he always dress like this?
Hannah
Like, if your shirt says Gucci, your hat certainly does not need to say it. And, like, we get it. Obviously, you can afford multiple Gucci outfits.
Paige
He looked like Me at the airport trying to pull off a hat where everyone's staring, and they're like, whoa.
Hannah
I'm just, like, hashtag paged against men in bucket hats.
Paige
I am, like, interested. I feel like they actually do not get to spend a lot of time together. So it's, like, interesting to see when they are together that it's, like. Like in a public eye. Like, I feel like it's so much pressure and everyone's looking at how they act.
Hannah
Yeah. Well, I would say, like, if you're dating long distance and say you're dating for four years, I feel like you're actually dating for two, because the amount of time you're apart.
Paige
You and Craig have been dating for three weeks. No, literally, you're three weeks in. You just met that man. I dated this guy, like, the summers we'd be together in college, and then we did long distance when I was at college. And then I was like, this man is it. And then the second we got back, I graduated and we moved in with my parents, like, three months in. I was like, who the fuck is this dude?
Hannah
You're just like, I can't.
Paige
It's all been made up in my head. And it was, like, the stupidest stuff that was annoying me.
Hannah
I can't believe you moved in with your parents and your boyfriend.
Paige
That's so my parents.
Hannah
Interesting.
Paige
They do charity for men, my parents.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
No. Well, they, like. They're like, if you care about him, like, we're rooting for him. And he was, like, going to school in the city, and they were like, bring him.
Hannah
Wow. Words my mom's never said. If you care about him, we care about him. My mom's actively like, we hate him. Okay, so figure it out.
Paige
The thing is, he was, like, a really nice guy, and my mom loved him.
Hannah
My mom hated my college boyfriend. As she should.
Paige
I should.
Hannah
I mean, she should.
Paige
She's always been right. She's always been right. So anyway, the open was fun.
Hannah
Who did we see play?
Paige
We saw Sabalenka. And we saw Tiafo.
Hannah
Yes.
Paige
And we ran into Sierra.
Hannah
We ran into Sierra. We. We stopped in the gray goose box for a minute. For a little.
Paige
We saw Taylor Fritz's girlfriend. The Morgan Riddle.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
Which was just fun. Like, the energy.
Hannah
It was fun. And we brought dez.
Paige
And we brought Desmond.
Hannah
Wow.
Farnoosh Tarabi
You never call him Desmond.
Paige
I. Sometimes I throw it in just to be crazy, because he seems like a different guy. I'm like, that's my other husband, Desmond. He. No, he was Desmond that night.
Hannah
Because Desmond's a great name.
Paige
Strong.
Hannah
If you had a son, would you name him Desmond?
Paige
No.
Hannah
Okay.
Paige
I don't. Why are we complicating the family dynamics? Like, my dad is Dan, his son is Dan. And then it's like, is it Danny? Is it Daniel? How are we not yelling the Taylor Swift that was like Taylor Swift. So Taylor Swift goes, and the guy playing his name is Taylor. So everyone's yelling, go Taylor. Go Taylor. So she must have been like a stimulated, over stimulated and been like, are.
Hannah
People yelling, yelling my name at a sporting event? I'd actually have to leave. I'd legitimately pack up my things and head on out.
Paige
What did you honestly think of the honey deuce?
Hannah
I love the honey deuce. I don't know why people like it's not an available drink at other like bars.
Paige
I think cuz like the melons are difficult. They have to make like rounded melons.
Hannah
The honeydew.
Paige
Honeydew. I also don't trust honeydew. I feel like it's like an avocado where it's good for like three minutes.
Hannah
Well, they're definitely like in season. There's like a season for them.
Paige
Are you a honeydew farmer?
Hannah

Paige
Wait. Also, I threw the first pitch of the Mets game. I didn't tell you. Yeah, you didn't tell me.
Hannah
I literally just saw it on Instagram.
Paige
I kept saying I'm going to the Mets game. But I didn't want to tell you.
Hannah
No, I don't even think you were going to the Mets game.
Paige
I kept saying it, but you literally don't process sports events. No, like you.
Hannah
I saw. My first thought was.
Paige
What was your first thought?
Hannah
My first thought was, I love a yoga pant on the field.
Paige
Well, this is my thing. Like, I wasn't there to fuck around. Like, I was there to throw the pitch.
Hannah
Did you practice prior? Who'd you practice with? Des in your backyard?
Paige
Yes. And Aiden was filming and I kept looking at the video being like, I don't like that technique. I. But this is.
Hannah
Did you make it to home plate?
Paige
Yes, this is. I'm. Power was not a problem for me.
Hannah
Okay.
Paige
It was control.
Hannah
Okay.
Paige
You know, and so if you're bored, watch 50 Cent throw the first pitch. He. He's lefty and he just went totally to the right and like, basically he threw it at the wrong person. Like, it was so embarrassing, but it's hilarious. And like, I love 50 Cent. Shout out 50. And then Mariah Carey had the best one where she literally throws it straight down and like, then like giggles and is like proud of herself, which was iconic.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
But I was like, people started placing bets. Like my friends being like, you know, $20, she's not going to hit the home plate, all this stuff. So. But I also was like, I don't want to overthink it because if you practice too much, you're actually like putting too much pressure on yourself. I'm like, it's the same as a service motion. Like, I know how to fucking throw a ball. But I get there and they were like, hey, you can't throw from the top of the mound. You have to throw either in front of the mound, which I wasn't gonna.
Hannah
Do, or behind it.
Paige
No. Or just like, you can't stand at the top. You just stand like, on it. But like kind of in the.
Hannah
Why don't they let you stand on the top?
Paige
I guess they don't want you to like, like scuff up the rubber or something.
Hannah
Oh, I thought it was going to be like a superstitious thing where like, they don't let anyone stand on this top unless it's like the actual picture.
Paige
So then I get there and I'm not standing on the grass. Cuz I'm like, I'm a. I'm a big girl and I stand on the grass. But then I get there and you're standing on a slant.
Hannah
Okay.
Paige
Like you're skiing. So like, you're throwing, but, like, it's going down. So I was gonna do this whole foot move, and then I realized I'm slanted, and. And DEZ is catching the pitch, and I'm like, oh, DEZ was catching it.
Hannah
Oh, they don't use the catch they.
Paige
Normally do, but they switch something, like, order wise. And they were like, can DEZ do it? Because the guys are like.
Hannah
They have to make you feel more comfortable.
Paige
Yeah, but if he didn't catch it, then, like, people would have been like, boo.
Hannah
Why are you standing?
Paige
Because I was showing my pitch.
Hannah
Oh, okay.
Paige
I just stood up to. Was that. Did that stress you out? Like, can everyone calm the. So anyway, I ended up throwing it, like, a little higher than I wanted, but, like, I'm not gonna, you know, tear myself apart about it. But it was fun. And then we. I ended up interviewing some of the Mets, so those videos are gonna come.
Hannah
Out soon, so I can't wait to see.
Farnoosh Tarabi
Were they funny?
Hannah
Any of them funny? Like, the Mets players? Not your.
Paige
They were funny. And I think, like, they rarely get interviews, like, what I did. So, like, at first, they're like, what the is she asking me? I asked them about their skincare routine.
Hannah
What's the age range of a Met player? Like, how old are they?
Paige
Great question.
Hannah
Like, in their late 20s.
Paige
They seemed like 25 to 35. Baseball is, like, hard to get to the pros. Like, you have to, like, go through a lot of levels together.
Hannah
Yeah. Like, all those farm teams.
Paige
Yeah, the farming. The cantaloupe farms.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
Melon farms.
Hannah
They're like triple A.
Paige
Triple A.
Hannah
And I'm like, that gets you batteries out of your car.
Paige
Yeah. So, like. So to get there, it takes time, but. And then some of them go to, like, they're like, 45 or something.
Hannah
Oh, wow.
Paige
Like, you can play baseball till you're pretty old because you could just pit. Like, I don't know.
Farnoosh Tarabi
No, you can. It's.
Hannah
Here's what I find interesting about some of the men's sports. You can be really out of shape for some men's sports, and it's, like, fine. Like, you know, it's kind of crazy. You could be a pitcher and be extremely overweight.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And it's fine.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
Golfers, do they work out?
Paige
Well, it's funny because the ones who do work out get injured all the time.
Hannah
Yeah. Like, there are some golfers, and I'm like, that looks like my dad's friend.
Paige
Like, they're like, that's.
Hannah
But that's insane. That He's a full on multi millionaire.
Paige
Well, certain positions, they, like, don't. Well, I mean, look at the football guys. Some of them are, you know, huge. But that's their position. They need to be.
Hannah
Right. That. Yeah, that I classify as, like, different because, like, their. Their job is to, like, block people, so they have to be massive. But even that, I'm like, I wouldn't. I couldn't sign up for that.
Paige
I do have to say, yeah, I don't think that's what you were meant.
Hannah
To do to be a defensive lineman in another life.
Paige
I did up my Prozac because I'm.
Hannah
You have an extra fucking chipper.
Paige
This weekend I'm doing fantasy football, so I had to up my Prozac because fantasy football season is stressful. I'm playing Jared Freed this week. Okay. And we're texting. It's intense.
Hannah
I'm gonna be honest. I don't get how it works, and I don't think I need to know.
Paige
Yeah. The only thing I would tell you is that everyone picks players. So you, like, create your own team.
Hannah
And you can be on and the players can be from any team, any team.
Paige
So that's why, like, when you turn on a game, you'd be like, oh, I have that receiver. So I'll watch to see if they get any points. The stress that comes from it is that anything can happen and you create a bench. So, like, some guys are on the bench and then some guys are playing. And sometimes guys on your bench will score a ton of points and you don't get the points because you didn't put them in because you thought the other guy was going to do better. And then you leave the bar crying.
Hannah
Craig's favorite day is Sunday, when they pick their fantasy football teams and they do relay races to see, like, who. The order of who picks.
Paige
Oh, yeah, that's like a frat boy thing.
Hannah
My brother just sent me a video of his friend. They were picking their order of who picks their team, and it was his baby in his crib picking the names out of a bowl, and the baby was picking it.
Paige
Wait. I think there's a funny joke about how, like, gender reveal parties are, like, similar to fantasy football draft parties. There's some correlation there.
Hannah
I don't know if I would have a gender reveal party.
Paige
You would do something, like, so tasteful.
Hannah
Like, I actually don't know if I would because I feel like I'm gonna be laying in that bed and they're gonna be like, do you want to know? And I'm like, immediate. I wanted to know yesterday.
Paige
I'm gonna know from your wedding events how your baby stuff will be like, we're gonna see.
Hannah
I'm not as concerned with my gender reveal. I'm more concerned. I think about my child's first birthday a lot. Thought, oh, my God, what's the theme?
Paige
But they're not gonna remember it.
Hannah
That's okay. The people there will.
Paige
Wait. I actually love making fun of a gender reveal. But, like, low key. Like, when you see someone, like, serving a tennis ball and it, like, pops open, I'm like, that was kind of fun.
Hannah
Yeah. No, they do seem fun.
Paige
But, like, I'm not inviting. A lot of people wanted to be like me and my dad.
Hannah
I've never been invited to a gender reveal.
Paige
Well, we don't have any friends with children.
Hannah
That's true. That's actually spot on.
Paige
You know that none of my friends are married.
Hannah
Really.
Paige
I mean, my Wisconsin friends are.
Hannah
I feel like I'm very split. I either have really single friends or very married friends.
Paige
None of my city friends are married.
Farnoosh Tarabi
Yeah.
Hannah
Because we got a brain on us.
Paige
Okay.
Hannah
Do you know that the two happiest demographics are single women and married men? No, I'm not kidding. That's a real.
Paige
Which is literally so such a mind.
Hannah
Men's life lives significantly improve when they get married.
Paige
Yep.
Hannah
And women's quality of life significantly goes down.
Paige
Would you raise a baby on your own?
Hannah
Yes.
Paige
That's very celebrity of you. Celebrities love doing that. Like Kylie.
Hannah
I almost feel like I'd do a.
Paige
Better job or be in a lesbian relationship.
Hannah
100%.
Paige
Did you hear the story about Dakota Johnson? Thought Celsius was just like. Like vitamin water. And she started drinking it on set and she said, like, she couldn't fall asleep at night. And she thought she was just, like, so inspired by this movie. But then, like, she couldn't sleep for, like, because she was chugging Celsius. And then someone was like, you realize that's like, Celsius.
Hannah
PR is scrambling. Scrambling.
Paige
Well, like, clearly it's. It's. But I. I have a lot of people been, like, just drink, like, a couple sips of that.
Hannah
I've had one Celsius in my entire life. And I said, you guys gotta be kidding me. This is illegal.
Paige
Is it like the electric lemonade at Panera?
Hannah
Yeah. I don't. Like, my heart was racing. My hands were shaking.
Paige
They have to put warning labels on this.
Hannah
I was blinking at two times speed. It was. I never in my. I was never picked up Enough.
Paige
You're like, I started a company. I closed my company.
Hannah
Celsius invited me to something. I said, I think you guys are crazy. No, you guys freak me out with your drink.
Paige
Also, you know, it's back. Altoid sours.
Hannah
I saw that.
Paige
Which, honestly, what a throwback.
Hannah
Can I tell you? I was a full on drug dealer in the seventh grade with Altoid sours. My dad always had me stalked. Like, he would stop at the gas station or, like, CVS or whatever, and he'd always pick me up a pack, and I had them all in my backpack and everyone knew to come to me.
Paige
You were cool.
Hannah
I was. Was the coolest.
Paige
I love how you're like, we got two of these, we got one of these.
Hannah
I got orange sour altoids. I got grape, I got cherry. Like, what do you need?
Paige
Also, I pulled out a Listerine strip at the open. That was crazy.
Hannah
No. DEZ was appalled. Hannah pulls out Listerine strips, and then she proceeds to pull out each actual Listerine strip and hand us the strip, like. And Des looked at her as if she had just. Just hawked a loogie into all of our drinks. He was like, usually you let people take their oats.
Paige
Well, I was doing it like a communion. I was like, I actually preferred you grab it. Let out your tongue. I will place it on the tongue. The power of Christ compels you.
Hannah
I actually preferred you getting it out for me.
Paige
No, I see now, looking back, me putting my fingers on everyone's little Listerine strip was fucked up. But I was dealing with it like gum. Except gum has a wrapper, right? So look, I. I'm like, I haven't Listerine stripped in a while.
Hannah
Also, that I love a Listerine strip.
Paige
I think it's like, the only thing that works with breath.
Hannah
Two of those strips and you're good to go.
Paige
It is probably like Chernobyl. Like, it's definitely not good for you. Like, right?
Hannah
Because, like, we're not supposed to swallow Listerine.
Paige
But yet something that's. It got, like, kind of stuck on one of my tooths. Yeah, My teeth. And I thought my tooth was gonna burn off.
Hannah
Yeah, no, they're powerful, but I was.
Paige
Trying to play it cool at the.
Hannah
They're small but mighty.
Paige
Small but mighty. But that's what I want.
Hannah
I have something to say, and it's going to offend you, okay? And I want to say that I apologize, but I don't, because I truly feel this way. You never crave water like, plain water?
Paige
Never once.
Hannah
And I don't know if I trust people that don't crave plain water at least sometimes.
Paige
It was because as a kid, my babysitter, my mom would drop me off to, like, be babysat and they would, like, give me apple juice. So, like, I. It was like crack. So I, like, was craving sugar. So then my mom was like, water it down. Like, she had to, like, taper me off it.
Hannah
There. She was like, hands.
Paige
Also, my dad is like that. My dad will, like, walk into the fridge and just like, chug juice. And my mom's like, you're disgusting. Have a water like a normal person.
Hannah
No, Like, I actively will wake up in the middle of the night and if, like, my water has flavoring, I can't drink it. I'm like, I need a plain water.
Paige
I woke up this morning and there was just water. And I go, I'm not drinking that.
Hannah
It's the only thing that will, like, really quench my thirst.
Paige
Well, a Gatorade with, I like, watered down juices. Half Gatorade, half ju, Half water. Water with a little meal.
Hannah
Yeah, you're not a big. Here's what I think is interesting. You're actually not a big sugar person. Like, I never see dessert.
Paige
No, it's not about the sugar. It's about the flavor. I think I drank a lot of Gatorade as a kid.
Hannah
You know, I wasn't allowed to have.
Farnoosh Tarabi
Gatorade as a child.
Hannah
That was like one of the rules. But, like, we could have Lucky Charms. I was like, mom, pick a side.
Paige
Wait. I fully was like, well, cereal is healthy because it's breakfast.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
No, literally, why would we start the day bad, right?
Hannah
Cinnamon toast crunched the fuck out of me.
Paige
We had Kashi growing up. It was like the healthy.
Farnoosh Tarabi
I was just with a group of.
Hannah
People and we were saying our favorite cereals, and someone for serious said Raisin Bran. And I almost left. I was like, you can't. That's not like a serious.
Paige
I like Raisin Bran with granola, but.
Hannah
Not as your favorite.
Paige
Granola is not great for you. Granola's like eating cookies these days. Yeah. Final doc that everyone has to watch Chimp Crazy.
Hannah
It's so good.
Paige
I just started it. You finished it?
Hannah
Well, I think it's. They're coming out weekly. I think there's maybe one or two more episodes left, but I've watched all three.
Paige
Okay. Amazing.
Hannah
Actually, maybe last night it came out.
Paige
I think it just came out. I have to catch up because I've been behind on my shows. I don't know when you found the time?
Hannah
No, I've been showing it up. It's very similar to the theme of, like, Tiger King, but it's about monkey. And it's. They basically are crazy.
Paige
But they were like, monkeys are 98.4% human. And I was like, you got me. What's about to happen here.
Hannah
The one lady was like, I love these monkeys more than my kids. And then they have her kids on. They're like, yeah, it wasn't great. It doesn't feel great.
Paige
Oh, yeah. She was like, having a monkey is different than your children because a monkey's love is real. And I was like, oh.
Hannah
They're like. They never leave you. They always, like, need you. And it's like, yeah, because they're an animal and you have them in a cage. So would a human if you had them caged up.
Paige
Also, like, the whole exotic animal thing.
Hannah
I don't get it.
Paige
Well, like, they have to, like, traffic animals, and it's in the weirdest places in America. It was in, like, Missouri or something.
Hannah
She was like, I can get you any animal, any animal.
Paige
You gotta go to this small town, Missouri, and it's full of exotic animals.
Hannah
And I'm like, I don't love that.
Paige
I don't love that at all.
Hannah
What is going on in the middle of the country where they're having at home? Zoos.
Farnoosh Tarabi
Zoos.
Hannah
Is there that many people that are going to these freaking zoos also?
Paige
I feel like I watched Planet of the Apes at a young age and was like, oh, like, that could happen.
Hannah
Yeah. Like, they just take over.
Paige
I thought the apes would be more of a problem throughout my life. Well, like quicksand.
Hannah
Here's the thing. They keep them, like. So they're. They don't start out like that. It's because they literally keep them caged up that then. Yeah. They freak the out.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
And then they kill you. As they should.
Paige
Okay. Don't give away the plot.
Hannah
If someone kept me locked up.
Paige
Yeah.
Hannah
I'm figuring out a plan to kill you.
Paige
Well, if you're saying they're basically human, like, you can't lock them up. Like, they're a fucking bird.
Hannah
No.
Paige
And you can't lock up birds either.
Hannah
And like, here's the other crazy part. They're, like, breeding these exotic animals, but, like, trying to domesticate them. And it's like, yeah, this is a wild animal. Let them go be wild.
Paige
Well, I saw in the first, she was saying how she did these, like, chimp parties where she'd take these chimps and People would pay money to have the chimp at your birthday party.
Hannah
Yeah.
Paige
And then her husband, at one point, his nose is like. He has, like, a huge scar around his nose. And she was like, oh, yeah, something happened. And, like, a chimp bit his nose off. And I had to, like, find the nose and, like, put it back on.
Hannah
He died. He ended up dying.
Paige
And it was. He probably got murdered because I think the chimp didn't like the man, the other man. But long story short, the chimp can do nothing wrong.
Hannah
In my eyes, no me, the chimp.
Paige
Is being fucking mistreated. The chimp is perfect. You're trying to put the chimp in situations that the chimp shouldn't be in.
Hannah
Yeah. At the end of the day, justice for the chimps.
Paige
Justice for chimps. Justice for animals.
Hannah
Here's the other thing. These people look insane. You look. You can't. Fucking clowns.
Paige
You can't trust anyone who you don't like their outfit.
Hannah
You're like, I really can't. If I have a problem with your eyebrows and your hair, we probably won't get along because I don't see life in the same color lenses.
Paige
You see life 100%. No. There's some crazy hairdos in it. I think she wears wigs.
Hannah
I think she wears wigs. And I will say she rotates them. She's never giving the same look twice. And for that, I think there was.
Paige
Four different women being interviewed.
Hannah
Who is this?
Paige
This is the thing the Mormon girls need to learn from this woman.
Hannah
No.
Paige
And get some different hairdos. But this woman's taking it too far.

Yeah.
