Bonus Giggly Hotline: dumpsters, flirting, and nesting

Sup, kigglers.

Gary, fix the Wi-Fi.

Manifest that shit.

We can't be managed.

I mean, the day just got away from me.

Since I'm back in America, I'm so sorry.

Okay, but there's nothing I love more than air conditioning and a Duncan's refresher.

Oh my god.

One, because there's so much ice and we need ice to live.

But it is truly like the perfect cool down.

I also, it reminds me of like being a little kid when you're running around the playground and you've never been more thirsty in your life because your parents like forgot about you.

Yeah.

And then you finally get like a refreshing drink and you're like,

that's me with my dunker refreshing hands.

Also, I just realized you can like customize them.

Not me nerding out on my dunker refreshers, but I know you like sparkling.

So I got you the sparkling.

Actually, that's cherry peach.

You didn't get me the sparkling.

You accidentally got sparkling.

No, I swear to God, I got you the sparkling and got me the peach mango.

Okay, fine.

And then I thought that was

the peach mango.

Yeah.

It was the whole thing.

We had a whole thing,

but we're here.

And we're so excited.

We're doing these bonus episodes because we love the Collins.

Yeah.

Like hearing the gigglers' voices and knowing that they're real.

We're the new Delilah.

What's that reference?

Remember when we were little and it was on the radio and it was like, ask Delilah.

And she had like a really soothing voice.

I think she's still around.

I don't want to like

hypothetically market.

I never listen to that.

I just listen to the fan where they go, what's up?

This is Mike Bercurio.

Who's calling him from Staten Island?

The Mets?

We're so different.

We're different.

This is Delilah.

Grace picked all the questions that you guys submitted and some gossip.

Yeah.

So we haven't heard any of the questions and she's going to lay it in on us.

She's just going to rapid fire.

Okay, let's go with our first.

And Chris.

Chris is also involved.

We give credit where credit is due.

Hello, hello.

Our first caller.

Hey, girls.

Now that Paige is in her single girl summer era, I was wondering what your guys' favorite bit is when you're meeting a guy.

It could be a fake accent, a fake life story, just anything.

We love when you commit to a bit.

I feel like I haven't committed to a bit in a while with like meeting a guy because my life.

I don't need to.

I don't need to.

Because I looked in the mirror.

Because I'm living in truth and the Natic himself has become a bit.

Some girls like love the accent thing, which honestly, it's very freeing.

But then if you start to like him, you're like, oh no, how do we get out of this?

I started this off with a lie.

Yes.

But also keep him on his toes.

Yeah, I feel like my bit recently is just like not speaking.

Honestly, like people need to learn from your silence.

Yeah.

Less is more.

Were you silenced or silenced?

And I've realized that that, like, dating rules,

they will come.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

They are mosquitoes.

We are the flame.

Yeah.

Is that the quote?

Close enough?

They are moths.

We are the light.

They will come.

Honestly, that's so true, though.

Girls are lights.

Men are moths.

But also,

my bit is I like to fuck around with the friends.

When I say fuck around, I don't mean like hooking up.

It's more like it's easier for me to joke around with someone who I'm not not physically attracted to.

Yeah.

So I'm joking.

I'm joking.

I'm getting caught.

She's talking to you and she's laughing.

She thinks you're hideous.

It's so funny.

You ever see those TikToks?

How many guys are there?

Like, I mean, Hannah had a really good rapport.

She just thought you were butt-ugly.

Do you know those TikToks where the girl's like, me, when I'm not attracted to a guy?

And she's like, hey, nice to see you.

How are you?

And it's like, me when I'm attracted to a guy, and you're just mute.

Being so weird.

And you walk away.

So I like, you know, someone's wearing a Yankees jersey.

I say something like,

you know, you throw in what you know It's so funny

because I was gonna say you have such good like male references that almost like hook them because they're like wait How does she know that?

And you're like I'm a woman in sports.

I always thought that I was dabbling on pick me

because I love sports.

Yeah, but that no, but you love sports.

But I use it.

Yeah.

Wait, first of all, it's true.

And I use it for female empowerment.

Can't be pick-me if it's true.

It's true.

So when I know about sports, I'm able to get it in with any of the guys and immediately grab their attention.

My problem now, obviously I'm not dating,

but I find myself, because I do so much crowd work comedy.

Yeah.

If there's a man in my vicinity, I'm like, so what do you do for work?

And it starts normal.

And then they say something and I'm like, consultant is not a real job.

I know you're making fun of them.

I'm making fun of them.

I'm like, what's with this outfit?

I'm like, we're at a work dinner.

I have to stop myself because like, that's just where my brain goes.

And my friends are like, you're, what's going on?

Your brain immediately goes to making fun of them.

Yeah.

I'm the same way.

Yes.

I'm just like, oh, that was actually so mean.

I didn't even mean that.

Just about who told you to wear those shoes, you know?

Or you're just eating facts.

You're not even trying to be funny.

You're just like being honest.

So I honestly think going in though with taking it not seriously when you're dating will take you far.

Because it's not serious.

When you take it so serious where where after every bad date, you're like walking around the street being like, I'll never find someone, which we've all done.

Yeah.

But like, it's not that serious.

Make it a rom-com, not a drama.

People are dying.

Next question.

This one, Grace is going to read because it was written in.

I was going into my freshman year of college and my sister and I drove down in one car and my parents followed us in another car.

Fast forward, my sister and I arrive at my college.

My parents finally meet us and my dad says, Paige, I'm so sorry, but none of the clothes you packed made it here.

Turns out the thing they packed on top of the car opened on the turnpike and all of my clothes fell out.

All of my clothes just sprinkled all over the turnpike.

Just a few short weeks later, not only did I need to break up with my boyfriend, I also kindly had to tell him I couldn't return any of his clothing because they blew away.

Are you okay?

No.

Are you okay?

No.

She's like shaking.

No,

I could cry.

That would bring me to actual i'd have to be committed well first i'd double homicide my mom and my dad they'll go together they'll be fine because if this

no self-awareness whatsoever in that car no self not a rear-view mirror check at all

I'm more concerned that the dad doesn't know how to drive.

You didn't one time check your mirror and see that something was blowing off the roof of your car.

Greg taught me that check your mirrors.

Also, God forbid, a sundress hits the car behind you.

They can't see.

The whole turnpike explodes.

Like, what?

Also, I feel like, at what point were they like, oh, shit, there's clothes everywhere?

Should we stop and try to get the clothes back?

Or did they just arrive and go, that's weird?

Yeah, what are the logistics with the parents?

Yeah, I feel like there's missing parts to the story.

And they just, maybe they hated your clothes.

This is something my friends would have done, been like, oh, no, all your clothes disappeared.

No, I need to do something nice for this girl because I'm like, also, like, you're a freshman in college.

Do you know how many going out tops she probably ordered?

Oh my gosh.

They're all gone.

Well, clearly, she ordered a lot because they didn't fit in the trunk.

No.

This is you going to college.

This is you going to college.

So, what is the question?

What does she do?

I mean, you have to move.

Change your name.

You have to start moving.

Well, the good news is that you broke up with your boyfriend.

So, let's.

Yeah, let's rejoice for that.

Let's rejoice.

You're going to college.

You're single.

I think you just have to, you have to reframe it.

And you have to think, and who, what is the style that I want to be in college?

Because you're starting fresh, you're starting anew.

You have to, you know, what happened to me at a young age?

I got my first, like, actual earrings.

Okay.

I think it was like, not Tiffany, but it was one of those, like, it was nice, like my first ever, like, nice gift.

And the first day, I lost it in the drain.

Of course.

Of course.

And in that moment, I said, I don't deserve nice things.

And I said, you know what?

Happiness does not come from Tiffany's.

Materialist.

Materialist.

So maybe this was a sign from the universe saying you are still valuable even if you don't have your clothes you know what my mom says don't love anything that can't love you back

and i said but

have you ever seen my vintage chanel

get a grip woman get a friggin grip there is something though about losing things that is so bad like you're like if i lost this from a man to like your wallet you're like i'll never survive and then you realize you do it upsets me me because I never lose things.

So, when I do lose something, I'm so mad at myself because I'm like, this is not you.

See, our family,

we lose everything every day.

Yes, and there's a freeingness to it because I know it's free.

Where's my torso?

I don't know, and I don't care.

We lost it, we lost it.

But you know what?

We have I was gonna say our brains, but we don't always have

that all the time.

Lose my mind, lose your mind.

So,

this is a learning lesson for you.

I'm

um, message us, we'll see if we can we can get you some.

Yeah, I need to help her out.

But

the meat and potatoes of it is you're starting a new stylistic journey.

You're starting a new capsule wardrobe.

Look at it that way.

You're investing in pieces that you actually love and you've gotten rid of all the mishmash.

That is freeing.

I love that perspective shift.

Also, maybe that high school style is not who you are in college.

Maybe this was like a sign from the unit.

They were like, hated it.

Reinvent yourself.

Yeah, the universe is like, we hate the aesthetic sit back who is that dream girl you want to be let's dress like her yeah i feel like your dressing and dressing in general is a form of manifestation totally dress for the job you want

that's why i'm wearing a bra outside my shirt

okay grace what do we have next

Hey, Hannah and Paige.

First off, I love you guys.

I love getting to giggle with you every Tuesday.

It's my favorite day of the week.

So my fiancé and I just moved in together and he lived alone before.

I lived with a roommate.

But I wanted to see what advice y'all had for people moving in together for the first time.

What are some things you wish you knew before moving in with boyfriends?

Things you wish you had done.

Anything you've got.

I want to hear it.

Thanks.

Wait, I love her accent.

I'm the worst person to ask this to.

You don't ever want to move in with anyone.

Right when it gets to that point.

Even your children.

Ooh, gotta go.

Gotta scram.

Well, I famously moved in with a guy from Craigslist and then started dating him.

And it was like the four of us.

A classic.

I love moving in with a guy because you immediately know if this is going to work.

Yeah.

Because there's so much you can get away with and hide when you're not living with them.

But then when you live with them, like everything's out in the open.

My advice is to be super upfront about like what you want and what you need.

Because if you don't stand up for yourself like six months in, you'll be like, I can't let you do this.

Like, yeah, I think you have to identify the red flags going into it.

Like, if I'm about to move in with someone and he wants like 50-50 space, we're probably not long-term partners.

No, like, because then that trickles into other things that they like, he would want 50-50, and it's just like, it's not my vibe.

No, you're right.

I want a man that, like, when I'm going to move in with him, he's like, I'll burn all my stuff.

Like, I don't need to even bring it with me.

Yes.

Yes.

And I moved into Des's place during COVID and he let me get a dumpster.

Like a full dump drop.

Yeah.

And I was like, we're getting ready.

We're getting everything.

We're getting married.

And

then I literally was like buying candles.

Like it was real nesting.

It was crazy because I've never bought candles for myself.

So I don't know who I was trying to be.

But I do think it's fun to curate a life for you both, giving him his little space.

But you also get to see like, does he enjoy you like styling things?

You really do bond in a way.

It's beautiful.

Or you start to want to murder each other.

I think the signs are there.

You just have to like

trust them.

Some things to anticipate.

Temperatures.

Do you like to sleep in a freezing icebox like me?

Or do you like it like lukewarm like Des, who's crazy, but he loves me, so he lets me do icebox.

Does he make a comment every time he goes to bed and goes, and it's like I wanted to Walt Disney myself tonight.

Yeah.

You're like, here's an extra blanket.

We're having fun.

Does he go to sleep with a hoodie on sometimes?

Yes.

I don't give a word.

Reframing perspective.

Exactly.

That's what this episode is about.

Also, the toothpaste.

These are things that you'd never think of when you meet a guy.

Is he pushing from the bottom?

Yeah.

Is he

pushing from the top?

Is he, after he puts it on, is he getting rid of the extra stuff on the top

and putting it back together or not?

Yeah.

Is he putting it back in the drawer?

Yeah.

Is he leaving it out?

These are things that cause divorce.

Yeah.

it's the day-to-day little things you tell me that when he shaves his face does he rinse the sink out

does he try and it just it was too difficult for him where does he leave his shoes does he leave it in a place where you could tear your acl have you seen that thing on tick tock where it's like men doing like weaponized incompetence

No, where like if you ask a guy to do something, he like purposely does it bad or like wrong because he doesn't want to actually do it, but it's like the easiest thing ever.

And it's like little things like living together where it's like, can you just like put your towel in the thing?

It's like, I don't know, like, you do it so much better.

Okay, and like that, I can't.

That's me with my mom, right?

Because she birthed you, you came out of her.

No, no, her moms are like amazing.

But that's like what it is.

Like, you want a mom, like, I'm not your mom.

Like, this is so, like, I feel like no, going into it, you know, if your boyfriend is like that, and that's I could never do.

Not saying, like, oh, I wouldn't like pick up after him like once in a while, but like, I'm not for high, I'm not your maid.

I also will do that to him just to let him know that

50-50.

Yeah, that I'm not your maid, you know?

Like, oh, you want me to make coffee?

It's going to be bad.

Yeah.

But what's funny is I'm pretty bad with like making the bed nice.

Yeah.

Like I just convinced myself I can't do it.

But then my friends were visiting last weekend and I need to make the bed.

And all of a sudden you were Martha Stewart.

I took like 20 minutes making this bed and I was like smoothing out every single.

And you were all of a sudden like in the Navy.

And

he was like, you've never.

Yeah.

You're like, I can bounce a quarter off this thing.

You like ironed the sheets.

He was like, who did this?

And I was like, I don't know.

A fairy.

Yeah.

But don't look for me to do it again.

Oh, side note.

I got green tea in mine in my Dunkin' Refresher.

Okay.

You can get green tea as an option.

You could get lemonade.

You could get sparkling.

It's actually really nice.

And I really am into the peach mango right now.

Yeah.

I also got less concentrate because I don't always like it too sweet.

And Paige is the peach cherry with sparkling.

Keep sending us your stories at gigglysummer.com.

And if we read yours, you might win our favorite Duncan goodies.

Thank you to Duncan for keeping us cool.

And I love these bonus chats.

I love it.

Anything to yet more?

I'm 27 and living in Boston now.

This summer is my 10-year high school reunion.

The idea of going makes me want to throw up, but my best friend is going and I'll already be home visiting my parents that weekend, so I'm out of excuses.

Do I go?

Do I lean in?

Or do I stay far, far away and let the past stay in 2015 where it belongs?

You love a reunion.

Okay, but I actually haven't been to one yet.

Why?

Because my 10-year was COVID,

which I wasn't actually going to even go to my 10-year because I was like, I'm not where I want to be yet.

I'm not where I need to be yet.

So I was going to go.

My 15 is this year.

Yeah.

I actually don't even know if they planned anything anything for it, but I will go.

In your gut, you know.

Like, if your gut is saying, don't go, I wouldn't go.

And if your gut is like, eh, like, what's the worst that can happen?

Then I would say go.

Also, like, everyone feels the exact same way.

So everyone's thinking the exact same thing you are.

Everyone's just worried about themselves.

Yes.

And also, there's so many variables to this.

Some people had like really horrible high school experiences.

If it's going to bring all that back, don't go.

Or is it a little exposure therapy to see people that like,

you thought they were better than you and now, you know, they hate their children and they are in a multiple multi-level marketing scheme.

Yeah.

So it could be fun.

And also like, it's just not that big a deal because you're not going to see them for like another five years.

And also remember, you can leave.

Like you could literally walk in

and be in there for a second, get through like the bouncer at the bar and turn around and leave my thing is like if you're single i have like a rom-com in my head of you like seeing a guy that was like nerdy in high school and now he's like took his glasses off and now he has a jawline and you're like wait i've loved you this whole time and he's like you were nice to me when everyone else was mean to me i just wrote a whole movie there okay let's call matthew mcconnett because that sounds amazing see i love that oh yeah because in the 90s it would always it was always the girls that were like nerdy and then got hot from taking off their glasses i think we should reverse it.

And it's like she was pretty while having glasses on.

But anyways,

don't make you ugly.

Let's stop shaming people with glasses.

Now it's cool.

Yeah.

Now Paige and I wear glasses

for press

appearances that we have to get respect in.

I went to like a sketchy New York City high school who like, there's like a Facebook page somewhere that occasionally they're like, hey, we're all getting together in this loft somewhere.

And I'm like, it's so in New York City.

Like they'll be like, oh yeah, someone's garage is open and one of the guys is going to be like DJing.

Ours is always at a bar with the like name saloon in it, you know?

Oh my god.

So I think trust your gut.

Trust your gut.

And if you don't go, it's not a big deal.

Not a big deal at all.

We love not going to things.

Yeah.

And we've never missed out on anything.

No, and I've never had FOMO.

Never.

Thank you, Duncan, for fueling all this chaos.

What great questions and keeping us refreshed because it's hot out today.
