Bonus Giggly Gloss Hotline

Speaker 1 Hello, my glossy gigglers. This is a very special episode of Giggly Squad.
We've never done this before. No.

Speaker 1 We are doing Collins.

Speaker 2 Inspired by Burner Phone, because honestly, people don't talk enough about what a great name Burner Phone is. I think about it all the time.

Speaker 1 And I hate puns. It's the only pun.

Speaker 2 I love a pen. I love a pun and a pen.

Speaker 1 And a pen. No, people don't talk about pens.

Speaker 1 People talk about a good inky point.

Speaker 2 Whatever happened to the ballpoint pen?

Speaker 1 And you know, in your past life, I knew you used a feather. I know you loved a feather.

Speaker 2 I loved a quill.

Speaker 1 Anyway, this episode is presented by Tressa May, Lameller, Gloss, and Acast Creative. Thank you guys.
It's our first time doing this.

Speaker 1 We have asked the gigglers to submit questions and we want to hear your voices because guess what? We're sick of ours. Yeah.
We've heard enough. If I have to hear my own voice or your voice,

Speaker 1 so you guys have submitted any kind of question to us. Let's play the first caller at 1-800-GLOSSY.

Speaker 2 This is like all my childhood dreams of like being a DJ.

Speaker 1 Like, hey, this is 99.1. Well, I feel like we're, everything's nostalgic, and I want to feel like we're on live radio again.
We're in live radio.

Speaker 1 I know New York City wouldn't be like, hey, this is Joe. The Mets suck.

Speaker 1 Did we all grow up with that? And I'm like, Dad, why are we listening?

Speaker 2 You really don't know where you're driving. Like, are we going home? Are we going to grandma's?

Speaker 1 But it's the train was horrible. Fire the manager.

Speaker 1 This is Steve from Staten Island.

Speaker 1 That's the gigglers. That's what we're about to do.

Speaker 1 We never get to the gigglers.

Speaker 1 Time for the dinner.

Speaker 1 Remember when we were in the car when we were little?

Speaker 1 Okay, Grace. Come on, come on, guys.
You're gonna have to

Speaker 1 put your foot down.

Speaker 3 Super fun idea. Love you girls.
Thanks for

Speaker 3 making me giggle. My question is,

Speaker 3 like to what degree do you think is an okay amount for a man

Speaker 3 to connect with his mom or his mom to be connecting with him? And I'm meaning like late 20s, early 30s or mid 30s. What what does that look like in y'all's opinion?

Speaker 3 And what's too much and what's too little?

Speaker 3 Where one could be a red flag on both sides for the man and his mother.

Speaker 1 It's a spectrum, and we all know one side of the spectrum is what when you catch your husband sucking on his mom's teeth on his wedding day. Yeah.
Which you told me that story that was. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You guys have never heard of it. You guys don't see the news.
You don't watch the news?

Speaker 1 You don't watch.

Speaker 1 You've never gone through a newspaper before?

Speaker 2 Like a year ago, a year ago, I'm on vacation with like a bunch of my girlfriends, and one of my girlfriends says

Speaker 2 her friend's sister.

Speaker 1 So from the source. So

Speaker 1 her friend's ex's sister's wife.

Speaker 1 Her friend's sister.

Speaker 2 Or maybe it was her sister. Whatever.
It doesn't matter. Was at a wedding weekend.
Like it was taking place that weekend.

Speaker 2 And the wedding got canceled day of because the bride's maid of honor walked in on the groom sucking his mom's tit.

Speaker 2 But back to our gorgeous giggler.

Speaker 1 Then there's the, he hates his mom, and when she calls, he tells her to shut up. Where do we want a guy to be?

Speaker 2 I think a man, late 20s on, so let's say, so he has a career. He's waking up every day.
He's going to a job. We pray.

Speaker 1 We pray to St. Anthony.
Pays rents.

Speaker 2 He's in a relationship. I would say speaking to his mom on the phone

Speaker 2 every other day.

Speaker 1 Too much. You think too much? You're so Italian.
I was going to say three times a week. You're so Italian.
No, I think I like, would like you to answer twice a week for a man.

Speaker 1 I'm speaking to my mom every day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm speaking to him every day.

Speaker 2 Are they texting or calling?

Speaker 1 I would like one call. Okay.
But texting whenever.

Speaker 2 See, I think that she can text him every day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she can text him whenever. A lot of drama comes from parent-in-laws.
Yeah. And having sometimes

Speaker 1 mother or father-in-laws.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But I guess what happens is the mother is like, that's my son. Yeah.
And then when the wife comes in, the mom doesn't always want to give boundaries because she's like, that's still my son.

Speaker 1 Where the wife is like, no, now we have our family and he has to be there for our family and he can't be there for you the way he used to be because he's an adult now.

Speaker 1 And I do think in the Italian culture, it's a little different where it's like, we're family.

Speaker 1 We're always family. You do what your mom needs to do.

Speaker 2 I think it's important that, like, if you're dealing with a mom, your boyfriend's mom who's like a little kooky, maybe, like a little zany.

Speaker 2 If he recognizes it and says it to you, like, hey, my mom's like a little quirky. And like, if he's self-aware enough, then you're fine.

Speaker 2 If he has no feelings about it, he's like, whoa, like, this is normal. Then that's where it's like, this is my

Speaker 1 cautious. What if the mom is fucking great and he has a very healthy relationship to her, but then

Speaker 1 you have something you really want to do? Okay. But he's like, no, my mom wants to do this and I'm going to go with her.
How do you feel?

Speaker 2 It would depend. This is such hypotheticals.

Speaker 1 It's both your birthdays. You're going to be

Speaker 1 like, what is the thing that I'm trying to do? And what does the mom want to do?

Speaker 1 I do think that sometimes there's power struggles. However, I do think in a relationship, the wife's mother

Speaker 1 gets everything she wants. You know what I mean? Because it's like, I had a baby.
The mom's taking care of it. We do whatever we want.
But the husband's mom doesn't have the same rights. Correct.

Speaker 2 I think a lot about like when I go wedding dress shopping.

Speaker 2 In my head, all these years, I've envisioned, it's just me and my mom. Like, I'm not one of those girls that's bringing bridesmaids.
I don't need your guys' opinion.

Speaker 2 I literally need one woman's opinion, and it's Kim Jazorbao.

Speaker 1 Okay. You're like, don't let Hannah burn her near the store.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 1 I might bring you just for comedic relief. But if you give me one opinion, you're like,

Speaker 1 we don't do that here.

Speaker 2 You stick to your jokes.

Speaker 1 What if you're a dress?

Speaker 1 I don't know the name of any of these. The mother-in-law, my future mother-in-law.
She goes, it looks a little slutty. Yeah.
I'd be like, it's a little too much cleavage. Yeah.

Speaker 2 This is. But then I'm like, is that rude to not invite your future mother-in-law to wedding dress shopping?

Speaker 1 We're speaking in such hypotheticals. Yeah, we've got to be a little bit more.
Let me say something that in my dream solves everything.

Speaker 1 My favorite thing in the world was becoming best friends with my man's mom and then turning her against him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then we are a unit. Yeah.
And we're unbreakable. Yeah.
And it's like, I have your mom now. Yeah.
What are you going to do about it? Wait till I tell your mom.

Speaker 1 The second you look at her eyes and you're like, has he always been like this? And she's like, yes, I would leave him if I could, but I'm his mother. And I'm like, girl, I know.
Like, we are bonded.

Speaker 1 And then if I ever leave him, she brings me up every single day.

Speaker 2 Can I tell you something? My mom

Speaker 2 runs into a lot of my exes moms because

Speaker 2 moms go to the same place. Moms see each other.
Those moms have asked about me for the rest of. My ex-boyfriend's lives.
You know, there's a plethora of them.

Speaker 2 And it's so, every time I hear it, whenever my mom calls me and says, oh, I ran into you, I go, and my revenge lasts a lifetime.

Speaker 1 My revenge will last years.

Speaker 1 What was the question?

Speaker 4 Hi, Hannah and Paige.

Speaker 4 Love you. Rock on.

Speaker 2 My,

Speaker 2 I'm so sorry if I say um seven times.

Speaker 4 My question for you guys is how

Speaker 2 Do you stop dressing for the mail gates?

Speaker 1 Very beginning. She started criticizing herself before she even said um she was like, Sorry about,

Speaker 1 so I apologize in advance. Um, if you're dressing for the male gaze, you're not gonna dress well because let's be honest, straight men don't know how to dress.
So

Speaker 2 it's not like fashion, she means like looking hot.

Speaker 2 Like, I know when I'm in an outfit and I'm like, I look hot, and I know when I'm in an outfit where I'm like, not one man is gonna be like, wow, she looks hot right now.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm a hot take and Julia Fox would agree. My thing is, I don't feel

Speaker 1 attractive if a man like looks at me on the street.

Speaker 1 Men would fuck warm bread pudding. Yeah.
It's not a compliment to me if a guy thinks I'm hot. That's nice.
That's not going to feed my soul. Right.

Speaker 1 And I think you should dress what makes you feel confident because I've also seen girls dress for the male gaze and you can tell they're uncomfortable and they can't walk in their heels and they regret it because their feet hurt.

Speaker 2 I'm going to be really candid and really vulnerable and open right now. And I feel like I dressed for the male gaze the majority of my life because like I wore a school uniform in high school.

Speaker 1 So college was really hot.

Speaker 2 It was the first time I like had to wear an outfit every single day. And of course like you want to look hot.
You want someone to be like, wash it really hot. Like whatever.

Speaker 2 So I think when I first was like, oh, I want to wear this outfit, but it's quirky and weird and the men definitely aren't going to get it. It was a transition.

Speaker 2 I think the way I transitioned into it was making your hair and makeup super sexy and girly when you're in like an outfit that you don't feel is super hot and sexy and girly.

Speaker 2 And that will like help you transition. So, like, if you have an awesome blowout with a great like curl and you're doing a full like eye, it gives sexy.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I think the word is like, yeah, you want to feel sexy.
And I actually, my hair, that's why I wear it down. I think my hair is where I feel sexy.
And then I can wear, dress literally like a boy.

Speaker 1 A little boy. Yeah.
And I love that. But I also think if a guy really likes you, he's not going to not want to be with you because like your outfit one day isn't.

Speaker 2 There's also like, I see so many girls. Like Haley Bieber is a great example of like she'll wear a basketball short and like a t-shirt and it's not necessarily for

Speaker 2 the men, but then she'll do a slick back bun and like a sick eye wing and it's like wait She's hot. Yeah.
So I think that's like how you can ease into it.

Speaker 1 I also think that beauty standards change so much over time. So at the end of the day, do what makes you feel sexy and confident because eyebrows are different every year.

Speaker 1 Makeup is different every year.

Speaker 2 Also, there's a lot of men that actually do like

Speaker 1 love.

Speaker 1 Like, I talked to you. I talked about a lot of guys being like, yeah,

Speaker 2 like a denim button up. Like, that's love.
You know, so it's the right guy will actually

Speaker 2 think you are dressing for him.

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.
So we didn't answer it.

Love Summer House. Page girl this season.
Ugh, let's talk.

Speaker 4 Send me a message. Anyways, my question for you guys is, if you could only use one makeup product for the rest of your life, what would that makeup product be?

Speaker 4 Mine is either eyeliner or mascara.

Speaker 2 I love the girls so much.

Speaker 1 I love the girls so much. Wow.

Speaker 2 I really want to know what yours is, but I can't.

Speaker 1 Can we guess each other's?

Speaker 2 Okay, I think I know what yours is. Some type of lip.

Speaker 1 Yes, it's lip liner. Yeah, I actually pre newly came across lip liner, like, and I'm newly obsessed with it as of the last like couple years.

Speaker 1 I used to just wear

Speaker 1 a lip gloss

Speaker 1 or just a lipstick, like a grandma. Yeah, I used to just throw on a lipstick.

Speaker 1 And then, like, 10 minutes into the day, put your lipstick on and pull yourself up by your bitch strap. Put a lipstick on a pig.
What's the quote?

Speaker 1 Wrong quote.

Speaker 1 Put lipstick on, look in the mirror, be like, perfect. And then get to work, drink one coffee, lipstick's gone.
The whole day, I don't have anything on my lip, but I think I do.

Speaker 1 I don't mean to sound county. Okay.

Speaker 1 Is it foundation?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 1 You just picked the like the number one thing. Oh, you want to cover up your whole face.

Speaker 2 I'm just going to walk out with foundation and nothing else. I'd look insane.

Speaker 1 I'd look insane.

Speaker 2 Freckles. No.

Speaker 1 That's just sometimes. Don't tell me.
Don't tell me. There's only a couple things you want.

Speaker 1 What? Blush. No.
No.

Speaker 1 Eyebrow

Speaker 1 pencil. Yes.
You already have the darkest eyebrows. You do not need an eyebrow pencil.

Speaker 2 I need an eyebrow.

Speaker 1 No, you don't. Okay.

Speaker 2 It's between eyebrows and a mascara.

Speaker 1 I feel like that was the closest thing we've had to a fight.

Speaker 2 Okay, next question.

Speaker 1 Next caller.

Speaker 1 Next caller.

Speaker 4 Hey guys, longtime giggler. Love you guys so much.
Question about hair. If you're working out every day, are we washing our hair after every workout?

Speaker 4 Because I am a sweaty girl and my hair does get very sweaty. So am I supposed to be washing it every day? That seems a lot.
Am I not supposed to wash it? And then what am I doing with it?

Speaker 4 Because I, it's wet. So

Speaker 4 do I blow dry it? Do I dry shampoo? What are your suggestions, thoughts, opinions? Thanks. Bye.

Speaker 1 This is girlhood.

Speaker 2 This is.

Speaker 1 This is our cross-de-bear. This is actually.
This is actually coming across our desk. I said cross-to-bar.
And

Speaker 2 we need to keep our home clean. Yes.

Speaker 1 We're just speaking in general. You guys are really tired.
We're speaking just general sayings that have no meaning.

Speaker 1 Anytime we sound stupid, you say, pardon us, we're tired.

Speaker 2 We're tired.

Speaker 1 I'm like, no, you've been tired since 1992. We're idiots.
Okay. And this is based on my hair, my experience as a greasy greasy.

Speaker 2 This is what works for you. This is what works for me.

Speaker 1 I'm not a doctor.

Speaker 1 Yeah. No one thought I was, but just emphasizing that.

Speaker 1 I think that I never have acne

Speaker 1 because I wash. I have a shower every night.
When I don't shower, my hair is so oily. It gets on my, I get it all here.
Showering like keeps my skin clear and doing my hair. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And also it's, it's good for the demons. You wash the hair.
It actually really is.

Speaker 2 I've had a lot of psychics tell you.

Speaker 1 Tell you to shower more.

Speaker 2 whenever you're feeling uneasy like shower because it but you're like i'm hair snaggling okay

Speaker 2 pitch okay here's my

Speaker 2 here's my

Speaker 2 my advice because i'm someone that washes my hair more often than not and i always got nervous because people are like oh man you're washing your hair too much it's actually not good for your hair that only came in like i only started learning about that and when i was in like ninth grade I was like, wait, we're not all washing our hair every night.

Speaker 2 Like middle school, every night you got home, you did your homework, you ate dinner, you took a shower. And you shaved to your knees.
You wash your hair.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 2 Now I've tried to hair cycle more and more. Like when we're on tour.

Speaker 2 I try and like get a blowout, do my hair. So like Thursday night show, great hair.
Friday, okay, now I'm curling it. Saturday, slick back bun.
Sunday, we're going home. Maybe another slick back bun.

Speaker 2 But like I try and do it when I can.

Speaker 1 And some girls, their hair texture, they could could get a blowout and they're good for a week or two yes i'm not one of them my hair is slicked to my eyebrow yeah like and you wash every day every single day so i think it truly i don't know if it's a myth that like washing your hair too much is bad for it but i have got i've washed it every day and then i've done phases where i haven't washed it every day and it's the same i do have frizzy hair a lot yeah so after like a Pilates where my hair is just like kind of crazy and I have to go into a meeting, I do love using Treceme Lamellar Gloss, and I just put it on the ends and it just makes everything look like, look chic.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Another tip I have too is Treseme has a really good dry shampoo.
Say you wash your hair, you blow it out, whatever, and you're like, oh, I really don't want to have to wash it tomorrow.

Speaker 2 Put your dry shampoo in before your hair is greasy.

Speaker 1 So like, oh, get ahead of it. You get ahead of it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and it really does work.

Speaker 1 Wait, we're such women in STEM right now.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we're scientists. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So every night I'm using the Treseme shampoo conditioner. And it just, honestly, I feel like it just helps me be like cleaner.

Speaker 2 And I also feel like I'm known for having very glossy hair, like very shiny hair. And I truly feel like it is because of Tresame.

Speaker 4 Hey, ladies.

Speaker 6 I've been dating this older guy for about a year and a half now. He is

Speaker 6 37 and I'm 28. And I've said I love you to him.

Speaker 6 And his response was,

Speaker 6 you've told me that already.

Speaker 6 His response was not, I love you too. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Let me bow down to you and kiss your feet, which is what I really was expecting.

Speaker 6 I totally thought he would say it back. It's been a while.
We've gone to funerals together.

Speaker 6 So, like, how long is too long to wait until

Speaker 1 I'm obsessed with the kinglines?

Speaker 1 nothing says i love you like a goddamn funeral she goes we've been to four funerals together two of them i did murder the people

Speaker 1 couldn't even get a love yeah i sacrificed three friends for this does it say what her name is no we're not trying to put put her on blast no i just i didn't know i said i don't know i don't know why i wanted her name i was gonna say cake

Speaker 1 her social security

Speaker 2 break up with him yesterday

Speaker 2 yes he doesn't here's the thing and i don't don't want to be harsh. He didn't say it back because he doesn't love you.

Speaker 1 So you did not have to say it that strong. No, and he's telling me,

Speaker 2 this is, look at me. We don't know your name because we don't want to put you on boss.
He doesn't love you.

Speaker 1 Oh my God. So break up with him.
If he loved you, he would have said it first. Okay.

Speaker 1 I did date this guy once who.

Speaker 1 like two months in, I was jumping into an Uber and he goes, love you, goodbye. And I was like, knew it.
And then he texted me and he was like, oh my God, so embarrassing.

Speaker 1 Like, that was totally by accident. And I was like, it's okay.
And it was by accident. Yeah.
And then, like, we never had like a real. Well, did you continue dating?

Speaker 1 We definitely did, but I don't know if we like continued doing

Speaker 1 it. Because he had intimacy issues for sure.
And so did I.

Speaker 1 But he would like accidentally say it all the time. Do you think that's his subconscious? Or he just, it's like saying, love you, mom.
Oh, no, I called you mom. Bye, mom.

Speaker 2 I don't know because anyone who said it to me like early on, I'm like, yeah, obs.

Speaker 1 Like, I was like,

Speaker 1 you idiot. Yeah, it's also, though, like

Speaker 1 literal love bombing sometimes. Literal.
I do love a guy that waits a couple weeks.

Speaker 2 I think a great timeframe is three to six months. Within three to six months of like officially dating.
I think if you become boyfriend and girlfriend in three months.

Speaker 1 In three to four months. It should be being said.

Speaker 2 And if it's not,

Speaker 2 it's a little iffy. A year and a half,

Speaker 1 you got to get out of there. Would you ever say, I love you first?

Speaker 1 I don't think I have the confidence. Oh, God, no.

Speaker 1 I don't have it in me.

Speaker 2 No, I don't have it in me.

Speaker 1 I couldn't. I mean, the confidence this girl has to not only have that happen to her, but then be like, I went to four funerals.
And he still did. I love how I gave her an accent.

Speaker 1 I would never say it first.

Speaker 2 It's not that I would never say it first. It's just like, there's only a few things men have to do first.
And this is one of them. I like,

Speaker 1 like, love is such a,

Speaker 1 everyone is such different.

Speaker 1 What is love?

Speaker 1 And it's the age-old question.

Speaker 1 And we're right back to the beginning.

Speaker 1 What

Speaker 1 is love?

Speaker 1 And that's what we're here today to find out. Let's start from the beginning.

Speaker 1 Why are we immediately at NPR?

Speaker 1 We want to be NPR so bad. They'd never have us.
They'd never acknowledge us. Now we have a new goal.
We manifest it.

Speaker 1 they go someone got an email wrong and the giggly squad is now here at npr thank you so much for you know whenever you know when they have like their eighth year they have like you have to call in and donate to npr

Speaker 1 she's like i'm in debt i've been donating multiple

Speaker 1 bones

Speaker 1 i don't know

Speaker 1 i'm being silly now okay When the guys say love, like

Speaker 1 he, I don't know what he means by it, but it's like, I'll match it. Whatever it is, is, I'll match it.
But I'm not falling in love for someone who hasn't already fallen in love with me.

Speaker 1 That's dangerous behavior.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 2 So our advice is break up.

Speaker 1 We love partnering with Trezume and especially their lamellar gloss because being glossy and a glossy giggler means confidence. It means feeling yourself.
It's giving 1-800 glossy. No one.

Speaker 1 You have to say it like this, glossy. Yes.
Wait, that's so good. Thank you.

Speaker 2 Gigglers, thank you for listening to this very special episode brought to you by Trezume Lamellar Gloss Collection and ACAS Creative. This was so much fun.
We loved doing this.

Speaker 1 This was an extra special episode. Thank you to the Glossy Gigglers who hit up the Giggly Hotline.
Tell us if we should do it again. We'll make the episode longer.

Speaker 1 We just wanted to dabble.

Speaker 2 Trez is listening.

Speaker 1 Thanks, guys.
