Giggling about potions, face tape, and beer pong

Hey, this is Paige DeSorbo from Giggly Squad.

Sunday scaries are officially canceled.

Abercrombie's new Sunday Sets collection is taking their place.

Made from their iconic soft AF fabric, these matching sweatshirts and sweatpants will give you that cozy Sunday feeling every day of the week.

But we can't forget the OG, the AF Essentials collection, specifically their viral essential pop-over hoodie that just came out in tons of new colors and prints.

Permission to start living in sweats.

Shop Bacrombie in the app, online, and in stores.

Okay, besties, today's episode is sponsored by Cars.com.

Wherever life takes you next and whoever you're looking to be, there's a car for that on cars.com.

Here's the tea.

They add up to 50,000 cars daily.

Like imagine refreshing your closet every day with 50,000 new options.

Yeah, insane.

That means you're literally shopping over 2 million cars, 2 million possibilities.

So whether you're going practical, bougie, bougie, or comfortable, like me, they've got you covered.

So find your next possibility on cars.com.

Where to next?

Sup, gigglers.

Gary, fix your Wi-Fi.

Manifest that shit.

We can't be managed.

I mean, the day just got away from me.

Hello.

Hello, my gigglers.

Okay.

I was just just anti-glomadic.

I was just thinking of the fact that we had a full Nor'easter.

Yeah.

I don't know what a Nor'easter is, but we had it.

And

it started raining.

It was raining last night.

And Paige texts me trying to cancel this morning because it was raining.

And I go, let's see the vibes in the morning.

The way people made it sound was that, like, if you didn't buy a canoe last weekend, you're foxed.

Like, that's the way they were acting.

Well, I was getting like weather alerts in like red, and like the red just was scaring me.

And it's like in New York City, what would you do if there was a flood?

Like we would all just like stay in our apartments, which actually sounds like my dream date.

Like our

daily day.

Yeah, like nothing would change.

I'm obsessed with your look right now.

Okay, I have my fake glasses on and I can't see, I can't hear.

I love it.

And I wore a button-up and I haven't brushed my hair.

I did a red aid two days ago, so it's hitting me this morning.

You know what you are as an adult?

First of all, it's so fucking crazy that we do Giggly Squad on Monday mornings.

It's so off.

Massy.

It's so like, oh, our podcast is easy.

People like listening to it.

Let's see how much harder we can make it for ourselves.

And they go, your voices are so calming.

Well, we're fighting demons inside.

Okay, two things I want to know.

One, my Duncan matches my outfit, which is like my whole personality today.

I feel like we're very like.

Color sorted right now because you have red hair.

And I

yeah.

Wait, what am I as an adult?

adult?

You like, you know, when you're a little kid and you're like, oh, when I'm an adult, I'm gonna wear this, or like, when I'm an adult, I'm gonna do this.

And then you become an adult, and you're like, that's insane.

Like, why did I wanna do that?

You are that embodied because you, like, you woke up today.

I walked into your apartment.

You're standing there like a child in the 1700s who has polio.

Like, you have no pants on.

It's like, I caught you in the middle of God knows what.

And then you walk in ready for for the pod you've thrown fake glasses on a button up with sweatpants

i was used to those just having clips where people couldn't see our pants and then i realized maybe last week that the youtube videos they could see your whole outfit so um that's something i'm dealing with internally um also now i say internally because i'm wearing glasses now yeah you're circling back internally i feel like if we did giggly squad when we both were like rested and like put together and like it'd be too calm it would be too calm and also we'd have nothing funny to say i have a list up the wadu i was gonna say no one hates happy women more

you know they're the most hated demographic in america so like how dare we come on this pod and be in like a good timeline i because i did the red eye which is my whole personality now um i ended up going to bed at like six woke up at 1 a.m saw your text being like maybe i can't make it in the morning

okay

that's real friendship.

Preemptively being like, hey, just a heads up, I might cancel the thing we have in 24 hours.

So if I do, don't be able to do it.

You also love canceling because you think you're going to be tired.

You love that.

She'll come back on Sunday and be like, I can't do tomorrow.

I already know I can't do tomorrow.

Instead, I'm like, maybe let's have a nice sleep, let's have some coffee, see how we feel.

And she's like, I know, I know in 72 hours I won't be able to do it.

No, because do you ever have something and you're like, I have something on Wednesday that's been ruining my week since Saturday night?

Yep.

Yeah, well, okay, actually, quick mental health moments.

Yeah.

Because I think we need it.

Yeah.

First of all, I read something that said, like, you're,

we have social anxiety menu for sure.

And

how actually social interactions are proven to be like way less anxiety inducing when you do it than you think.

So basically telling yourself, like, you know how you put it it in your head, like, it's going to be so horrible.

And then how it actually is never as bad as you think it's going to be.

And I was like, wait, that's great.

Cause I will spend a whole day stressed out about like one social thing I have to do.

And you always like don't feel that bad after it.

No.

You can trick your brain so easily.

Like if a stupid boyfriend can trick your brain to thinking he's a good person.

After you've been with your brain for 32 years and he can come in in two months and trick you.

You can believe in Santa Claus.

You can trick your brain.

So I was trying to tell myself that because I'll like, I'll finish a show and then I have to maybe like meet someone I don't know after the show.

And I'm like, in my head, I'll be like, I can't read this.

You sit an hour on stage and you can't say hi to someone for two minutes.

I totally get that.

And then I like read that.

And you know, when you read something online, it's always true.

Right.

So I was like, okay, this is true.

Also, one more thing.

Yeah.

Therapist update.

I've been doing EDMR.

No, it's EMDR.

EDM is a festival.

Yeah.

EDM is a genre of music.

It's really good.

What is that?

So basically, it sucks if you're like having a good day and then you have to do it.

Because you're having a good day.

Wait.

Nobody talks about it.

Talks about that.

There have been so many times where I'm like, okay, but what if therapy is the problem?

What if it's actually you've been talking

and be like, wow, life is worth living?

And then I'm like, oh, fuck, I have therapy.

Yeah.

And you get in and

you're like,

in fact, it's not.

Let's go back to the worst time you ever had in your life where you think shattered all your hopes and dreams.

The turning point of you will.

Let's go to your villain origin story.

And then you have to go there.

It's kind of like, it's not Scientology, but Scientology does this thing where, and I don't condone Scientology.

I'm uncomfortable that you're even.

I think he was inspired by

basically with emdr which miley cyrus did you basically talk about traumatic moment but the crazy thing is is your brain like has created that traumatic moment to be like whatever it wants it to be yeah like whether it made it easier or or not as bad or worse a lot of the time it makes it worse like just put it and people don't remember what actually happened your worst moment the way you remember it 100 so what she does is she's like tell me the feelings you have in that event memory.

And then you watch this thing go back and forth and like with eye movements and you just feel that feeling and it goes, it has this really cute sound.

It goes like

what are the images that you're looking at?

It's just this like, this like line white circle going back and forth.

And then she goes, okay, what did you feel during that?

And you say it, and she goes, let's focus on that emotion.

So you're like reprocessing the memory so that when you think about it, you actually get like a calmness to it.

And it like kind of like makes you not keep going back to that moment as like painful.

Do you have like a list of moments where you're like,

I'm like, okay, let's bring up the next one, chapter two,

and she's like, the tea is piping out.

I'm like, I know, but I know

sometimes, okay, this is like really freaky, but sometimes, and I

don't mean to sound unrelatable.

Is this about YSL?

Sometimes I'll try and like think of a traumatic moment in like my childhood or like my adolescence.

And I'm like, oh my God, I can't think of anything.

Was it so traumatic I blocked it out?

And then I'm like, wait.

There's no way I just don't have any traumatic moments.

And then I catastrophize.

Like they were actually so bad.

I can't even remember them.

But like, not true.

I think yours is more just like a deep genetic trauma.

Yeah.

Well wait till my mom hears that.

You're getting a you're getting into angry text later.

No generation.

Got it.

Did you see what I DM'd you?

It was very late last night.

There was a woman in Italy who was like She made potions that were poisons.

And I'm going to mess up the story, but she gave it as like a face care face care serum

to all these women to to get out of their abusive marriages.

And like 600 men died during like the years that she was doing this.

And then she ended up getting hired by like one of the kings because she was so good at poisoning people.

And then she got too big and they obviously

hated her because she was like, God forbid, a woman in STEM doing well.

Yeah.

And

everybody should take care of her family.

Wait.

Yeah.

So just look that up.

I will look that up because whenever it rains, I think you were related to her is what I'm trying to say.

Whenever it rains, I feel.

You try to cancel the podcast.

I feel particularly witchy.

Like, I feel like I'm like, my intuition is on another level, specifically when it rains.

I know what your trauma is.

You're too pretty.

I don't think that's it.

No, it's a hard thing.

I know what it's like as a fellow pretty girl.

I don't think that's what it is because you walk in a room, everyone's like, this dumb, stupid, pretty bitch.

I know it's like,

I think it's really that I'm just so educated.

Final number three, mental, are you sexy?

Are you texting?

Are you sexing?

I wanted to bring up my notes because I actually, I think I have, I had it done.

So my final mental health moment, actually, I talked about you in therapy

because I, well, it all comes down to me eventually.

When I was doing the EDMR with the eyes going back and forth, she goes, are you falling asleep?

And I said, I'm going to be so real with you.

I'm so tired right now.

And she's like, okay, maybe we're just not part of the process.

She's like, you could cancel.

I'm like, I don't.

Wait, are you going in person?

No.

So I'm just like, my eyes are going back and forth.

And I'm like, this is putting me.

So she's playing this like video over Zoom and you're watching it.

Yeah, but she's watching me.

How many sessions have you done where you've done this?

Only three.

That's why there hasn't been like a real change in me.

I'm not a real breakthrough.

No.

But is it the same moment you're going back to each time or are you on to a new moment?

I did the same moment for two of them.

And then I like was in a mood about something else and we like started that.

But like it it all is based on a feeling like we could have a different moment but we could be doing the same EDMR based on the idea of like I'm worthless

I don't deserve love like I mean just light stuff like that

but recently I was so tired and she's like why are you so tired and I was like I mean I'm really I have a lot of stuff on the calendar and she and it all comes back to me like not saying no to things because I'm like, I really feel like I don't say no to things.

So then you go a little deeper.

And she said something that rocked my world, even though every therapist I've been working on like

how to say no,

and they keep saying like, just say no.

I'm like, it's not that easy.

Yeah.

And she goes, what if I told you that people actually respect you less when you say yes to everything?

That's what your brain needed.

You needed that reprogramming.

You needed it put in a different way.

Because I was like, I have friends that I know will say yes to anything I say.

And like, I don't want to, I feel like I make, I don't want to make them uncomfortable because I know they're doing things they don't want to do.

I'm like, Paige says no to everything and like, I love her more.

And she was like, you have to be like Paige, where she says no to things.

And I'm like, that's what she's been helping me.

Cause she's never said no to something.

And I watch the interaction and people like disrespect her.

Because it's like, you're just showing them you value your time more and they value you more.

And I'm like, as a people pleaser, I'm like, oh, I've been doing this all wrong.

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

But I really thought that, like, if I said no to something, that it would piss people off, but it's true.

You give people an inch, they want to take a mile.

Yeah, I was going to say a farm, but yeah, mile.

You can't be too accessible to people because they will suck you dry.

Yeah, because I've done a couple of things recently for people, and then they want more.

And I'm like, oh, I thought that was going to make you happy with me.

Yeah.

But I realize they're not happy with me.

It's just like a selfish thing.

Yeah, they're using you.

One of my number one things I hate is being used.

And I think that translates into like my working, where like it never used to translate into working.

It used to be like,

you're using me to like hang out with this person or you're using me because you want to go to this like place and I can go or like, and now it's like more in a work thing where it's like, you're, you want to work with me because you want to make money off of me and like scram.

Yeah, scram.

We, I love saying scram.

Yeah.

I love like,

I love cutting people off.

and cutting people.

This is your third, by the way.

I love cutting people off.

Like that feeling is so good.

But the next best feeling is watching them not have access to you and see how they have to move in the world without you.

And you're like,

you have no idea what's going on.

You're like, and then you even get more validated of like, wow, I really had my shit in charge.

Like I was in charge.

I also feel like when you're you're with the right people in your life, like, you never feel overextended.

Yeah.

Cause like they respect your boundaries kind of thing.

You're the only person that I feel like that with, like, that I could hang out with all the time.

Obsessed.

Do you want to know what it is?

Because you're, yeah, I actually do miss me so much.

We're the only.

You come to my Instagram history.

I miss you.

I was like, okay, send a text right here.

Do you want to know what it is?

You love me, but you don't want to be me.

Like, things about me disgust you.

Like, you would never want to be me,

but you love that I'm me.

Yeah.

And that's what it is.

Like, I don't want to be you at all.

Literally disgusting.

Like, we'll do something.

You'll be like, I...

In your mind, I know you're like, I would fucking never.

She's so dumb.

Like, when my mom tried to dress me in like dresses with a matching hat, I was like, burn me at the stake.

Like, I'd rather kill myself than be dressed in this matching set.

And then you show up in a matching set and I'm like, wait, I love that for you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, that's why it works.

Yeah.

That's why our, yeah.

That's why we're in such a good relationship.

And I think that's what you have to find

in a partner.

Yeah.

Because there's too many people out here marrying their biggest op.

And it's really like, they just want to be, they wish they had your life.

They want to be you.

I even was talking about like some work stuff and there was like a hiring process.

And there's something about when you hire someone who like thinks they can do your job better than you like that's where tension arises it's a lot of like how if you if there's a manager that like wants to be in front of the camera yeah kind of thing like that kind of vibe or like yeah i saw this tick tock video and it was this girl being like

if you were on a plane and the plane was going down and someone said

Can anyone land this plane?

And a man raised their hand and a woman raised their hand.

Who are you picking?

And the woman said I pick the woman and she was and the person was like why would you pick the woman she was like because no woman has ever gone out for a job that she thinks she's overqualified for we do the opposite so if a woman is raising her hand saying she can land a plane she most likely can land

she's done it and the guy there's a more like ego Yeah, there's more of a chance that he's lying and being like, yeah, I could probably do it.

Because men like oversell themselves because they're like, that's how they're like raised, that like they can, they might not be qualified, but they're trying out for trying.

I met a guy on the road doing crowd work who says he does straight man.

He says,

do he does facial reconstruction surgery, which is like a very serious thing.

Like if someone's like, hey, wait, I'm going to a facial balance doctor after this.

And I'm like so excited.

This is my thing.

I looked at him and I said, I love your work.

I love what you do for the community.

I do not want a straight man

working on my face.

No.

Straight man works.

Not looking at me at all.

They'd be like, look, your tits are great.

Not sure about the face.

Haven't even looked at it.

Get out of here.

I want a bitchy gay man being like, you're cunt.

Like, yes, we're hitting every angle.

Like, a straight man reconstructing my face.

Straight men don't know you have faces.

No.

I don't think they know proportions.

What is

the facial balancing thing?

Is this...

So two of my friends have gone to this person and they were like, basically, you go in and you say, like, because I've never gotten Botox.

Are they okay at home?

So, one of my girlfriends saw a picture of herself and she nearly threw up.

Okay, she was like, I have to do something.

She goes to this doctor.

Was it just the lightning, possibly?

She just like was having a moment.

Yeah.

She was just like, I will end it if I don't get some plastic surgery.

So she goes to this doctor, and the doctor was like,

I don't know if she's a dermatologist or if she's a plastic surgeon, but she's basically

Botox forward.

She's more like skincare and like different things you can do before you get to Botox.

Got it.

But if there was something you wanted to tweak, like she would be like, well, I would put a little Botox over here because that'll help over there.

But like, you don't need a

subtle.

It's subtle.

It's more like balancing rather than like preventative or like age.

It's more of a.

Is this about your eyebone?

I knew you were going to go there.

I knew you were gonna go there i'm just inquiring honestly it's a consultation it's a consultation

it's a

gathering meeting now if i walk in there and she's like

she's like it's about time i'm doing whatever she says okay i do have to say i went to a dentist once and they were like you know how you're like if you would do anything what would you do and she mentioned like she would like fill in like one part of my tooth and i'm like i never even saw that before.

I don't need that.

The way it's grown in my head, like she planted a seed where four years later, I'm like, if I have to look at this uneven tooth any longer, I didn't even know it was uneven before.

No, and that's the internet will do that to you.

I'm like, wait a minute.

I started zooming in on my own pictures.

I was like, they're right.

How can I not give you a second?

She did an interview recently.

The quote was like, every now and then a hate comment just eats.

Yeah.

And it does.

And like, I'll give credit where credit's due.

Well, I'm dealing with some abuse online currently because I'm wearing a skirt on stage because I have some jokes that involve the skirt

and my knees are out.

If you're gonna do a man's job, how dare you dress like a woman?

No, but because my knees are out, people are like commenting on my knees.

And this guy said that my knees look like the face of a manatee.

And now I can't unsee it.

But this is the thing, like, are we not allowed to have knees?

I never even looked at a knee.

And like, I have muscular legs, so like that there's muscles around the knee but like I just feel like we've gone too far

we've been criticizing women if we're going to but I'm like is my face that stunning that all he has left is my knee there is a woman on TikTok who made a video basically being like

I shower once a week maybe twice a week and the internet was like

something's wrong with you mentally.

There's like things are going on.

There's more factors.

Like there's no way you think that's normal, whatever.

Instead of fighting the internet back, she kind of leaned in and was like, you're right.

There's like so many factors on why I don't shower every single day.

She has now taken to TikTok documenting her showering every single day.

She's 26 days in.

Is she enjoying it?

She's loving it.

She's obsessed with it.

She's like, I'm glowing.

People are like, yeah, you're clean.

Like, you have no dirt on your face.

Wait, remember the girl with dirt on her face?

Is she okay?

Has anyone checked on her?

Oh, that girl that was like, I'm not washing my face for seven years.

Yeah.

And she had like, I think she's like back to normal.

Oh, you're like, I thought she was like, remember the girl that had a scar on her face?

Yeah.

I was down that rabbit hole for her.

The internet has gone in so many different pockets.

You know what I mean?

Because I think we're all dealing with a lot of stuff and we just like to take it out on a woman online.

Yeah.

That's easier than like dealing with societal issues, systemic issues.

Let's just make fun of a girl who, if she has a scar or not.

Well, I think she was like faking that scar.

Or like it wasn't as bad as she was making it up.

I honestly, I blame like Netflix because like they've put out so many true crime documentaries and like people are investigators.

I did watch the Ed Guine documentary, I told you, and some girl was going viral for saying that her grandma was one of the women that he dug up.

But then I'm like, are you just saying that?

Oh,

so you can't tell me anything on the I'm like, what?

Like,

You know, one of my favorite makeup brands is Say.

I use pretty much everything.

Their blush, oh, you only need one dot.

Their liquid blush is amazing.

Their pigment is just, I don't know, there's something about all of their pink shades that are very just pretty and girly.

I also love their glowy super gel.

It truly is a game changer, especially under your makeup.

I've had so many makeup artists use it on me that I was like, okay, I have to buy this.

What is this?

Also, I love their slip tint tinted moisturizer.

I do a lot of days where I just want no makeup, but I still want to feel like I have a good amount of coverage.

And that tinted moisturizer, I don't know what they put in it, but it's truly the best.

Also, their packaging is just like sleek and chic.

I love that.

It fits so perfectly in all of my makeup bags.

Nothing's ever like too bulky.

And also their press powder.

I use their press powder all the time.

There's something about it that's like lightweight, but I know it's really like making my makeup stay on my face.

The brand has also definitely set a new industry standard in beauty with award-winning formulas, sustainable packaging, and a mission to feel good and do good for people and the planet.

You can find say at Sephora.com and every Sephora store across the United States and Canada and at sayhello.com.

I was in your favorite place this weekend, Vegas.

Vegas.

It was wild because these like preteens were running around and they were like not wearing a lot of clothes, but I missed Vegas.

And my mom was like, oh, what's going on?

Because we're in the the casino.

And I go, oh, there must be a pool party.

And then I realized they weren't wearing bikinis.

They were like.

You know for a fact that they were what, like 13, 14 years old?

They were probably like 16, 17, 18.

But I'm of that age where I'm like, yeah, it's a pool party.

And they're like, no, that's what they're wearing to the club.

No, wait, you are so gonna be the mom where they're pulling things over on you.

I'm gonna have to call you and be like, Hannah, obviously not.

They're not studying on a Saturday night.

Did you check in their bags?

This is my question.

How have, like, I never can tell when my friends are on drugs, but like, do they actually wait?

Just pause, pause.

Because that's actually one of my favorite things about you is to be out with you and for you to watch other people be on drugs.

As someone who's seen this happen to me, can you just tell me for real right now?

Do they talk beforehand and say, don't tell Hannah?

Or do they think I'm already high?

Cause I'm like energetic?

Is it strategic?

Because like

they have gotten past me, they've gotten the wool over my eyes every time.

Or am I just not looking in the right direction?

I think it's more.

But no one tells me.

No one tells me.

Why don't I even get an invite?

Nobody invites you, I think, because you don't give off the vibe that you would be into it.

So it's like a waste of a conversation to be like, it's like the one guy who, like, Hannah, you cried last time you smoked weed.

I know.

But not everyone knows my history.

No, like, not even.

Even in college, no one like ever offered you like.

No, but I was on the tennis team.

So it was like, it was a very like drug to get drug tested.

But like,

I don't know what energy I'm putting off.

No one's even offered me a sig.

Not even a drunk sig.

Do I give snitch energy?

Do I have snitch face?

You're giving narc.

Do I?

Do I look like an undercover cop?

No, i'm gonna be honest i haven't been offered drugs in a while but also like i've been at parties where people don't know that i cry over weed that like they all just disappear in the bathroom and i'm sitting outside and they're all in the bathroom and i'm like someone has a stomachache

and then they come out and i'm like is everyone okay and they're like yeah and then they're like dancing and i like no one ran by me This is why I don't like social situations.

My favorite story still

to this day is you being like, and then they went into the bathroom and then they came out very energetic, dancing all over.

What do you think that means?

Get out of there.

I didn't get it.

I know you didn't.

So anyway, everyone in Vegas was having fun.

I watched a Luther Vandros documentary.

And how was that?

Oh, my God.

Have you...

Do you remember Luther Vandros?

I mean, not personally, but yeah, I've heard some things.

The thing about Luther Vandros is it starts, and this man is flaming gay.

And he has the voice of like the best voice ever.

And he was always like battling his weight.

This man, the way he would have loved Ozempic.

Yeah.

But he never was able to come out.

I know.

And it's like the guy.

That was

so sad.

Really, if you think about it.

It became like a heartthrob because he was gorgeous and had an amazing voice and he was singing love songs.

So he was afraid, like George Michael, like if he came out, that the girls would turn on him.

I would argue the girls would not turn on him.

We're always there for you.

Yeah.

Um, so we love the gays.

I recommend that documentary.

My mom was on tour with me.

Yeah.

Which, look,

my mom is, you'd think she did cocaine.

She is hyped up.

Yeah.

She doesn't sleep.

She's energetic.

When she's awake, she's awake.

And then at like 10:30, she's out.

Yeah.

But like, I was taking naps and she was just standing over me.

And she's like, hello?

And I'm like, mom.

She's like befuddled.

She's like

pacing in the room.

Yeah.

But so I was trying to tire her out.

So I was like, let's do a Pilates class.

Tiring your mom out is a real thing.

No, tiring your mom out is your dad.

It's not going to

be the real thing.

There is a moment in your 30s where it's now.

Like, and if you don't have kids, it's almost like the universe preparing you for kids because your parents are now your children.

Well, they are hyped up.

They're hyped up.

And then my dad is always napping.

They honestly don't know their limit.

They get overtired.

Okay.

They think they can do more than they can.

I tell her, let's go to Pilates in the morning because I need you to start simmering down around like 5 p.m.

You have to give them something the next day to look forward to.

Well, it was like when she would visit me in college, she'd come with me to classes and I'd fall asleep in class because I was tired And she would take my notebook and start writing notes for me.

Wait,

wait.

You don't know this.

Well, I had 6 a.m.

workouts.

You took cheating, so then you're like, My scribe is here.

Literally, she's like, raising her hand.

Can you repeat that?

We couldn't hear you back here.

Wait.

My daughter's like.

How did you get your mom into the class?

I think there was like, well, Wisconsin, there were like huge classes.

So it was very easy to sleep.

So one day you were just like, My mom is visiting.

You know, why don't we kill two verses one stone?

you come with me all nap

you write everything down

genius i know it was amazing she had better handwriting than me college assistants yeah you know like I don't care about my kid getting in, like me paying to get them into a school.

How about I pay for an assistant to walk around with them, make sure they have their stuff?

That is a new level of tutoring.

So anyway, we live by Pilates.

We love Pilates.

It's a Pilates family.

So when I go to a new city, I try to find the Pilates class.

You guys, if you say I'm going to your city and you have a good Pilates recommended for me.

So I find this place called Salt Vault.

And I was like, sounds as good as any of them.

Yes.

So we get there and

it says like heated

like no T.

It has like no E.

It's just a D.

Yeah,

it looks intense.

It's It's like heat apostrophe.

There's always an X somewhere.

I'm like, why did we throw in an X?

This is, and it's like, you know, it just looked intense.

Like, the whole room's pink, and that part is like black.

And for people who don't know, like, my mom, she's tiny.

She's small.

You hug her too much, you'll break her.

She is dainty.

Yeah, needs iron pills.

Yeah, no, actually, calcium iron.

Yeah, she's anemic.

So we immediately are looking at each other, and I was like, I don't know if this is what I thought it was.

Yeah.

And we walk in, and the lady's so nice at the desk.

And I go, is this for former Pilates?

And she goes, oh, no, this is Matt with music.

And I go, is it heated?

She goes, not this class.

I go, great.

I look at my mom.

Matt Pilates is scary.

Yeah.

And my room is heated.

My mom's like, we could do this.

Like, we could do this.

And I go, okay, okay, Lenore.

So we get in.

The room is like a club.

It's immediately,

fantastic, fantastic, fantastic.

And my mom's looking at me.

It's all these like hot girls.

And then my mom's a hot girl, obviously, but she's like, um,

I don't know if we should do this and I'm like mom we can't get out now yeah like we're in it we're in it we already we already got our

water bottle down we're here we've made a statement everyone's them they handed out towels we have one

I'm like I already used the bathroom like we can't leave after that

So my mom goes through a 45 minute class of intense, like it was one of those like bop bop bop now during it was she like I hate this like to you or like was she doing it?

We were just making eye contact, and she was smiling.

And at first, I thought she was having fun.

And afterwards, she told me, when you're going through severe pain, if you smile, it's supposed to help it hurt less.

I said, mom.

I thought you were actually having a good time.

And she's like, no, I was scared for my fucking life.

She's like, no, I thought he was having a heart attack.

So the class was fucking amazing.

Salt Vault in San Diego.

The instructor was spectacular.

Now, did she take a nap after or she wasn't tired?

Yes, thank God.

But like there was a moment where I was like, this is, she's only like 60, but like this was older abuse.

Like I threw her in this class.

No, because you have to be worried about.

And my mom, like, she goes hard.

Like, like, when she's like, oh, it's okay.

You can put your knees down.

Like, my mom wasn't doing it.

I'm like, she wasn't doing modification.

She wasn't modificating.

And

we're better for it.

We're better for it.

So, yeah, that was scary, but we survived.

Wow.

You took her to Vegas.

This was in Vegas?

This was in San Diego.

Oh, okay.

Vegas was funny because she'd already seen my show like three times and she always had notes.

Lenora has notes and we've made some great additions, edits.

But then she decided to go to Earth, Wind, and Fire.

By herself?

Yeah.

Which, by the way, if you don't listen to Earth, Wind, and Fire,

go download that on Spotify.

Lenora at Earthwork.

Earth Wind and fire is my bravo con lenore went alone to earth wind and fire fire was dancing sending me videos and like i'm going on stage she ended up catching my show afterwards um

she had a time in vegas

had a time in vegas we were by like the gondolas we almost did a gondola except it would be my nightmare to be like stuck on a gondola and then the guy starts singing

And you pay like a lot of money to be on the gondola.

I don't know why anyone would ever do that.

I was like, can I pay you to stop singing?

My worst nightmare is one, being trapped somewhere and then two, having to listen to someone sing, a man sing, yeah,

no, a man singing.

Um, so yeah, Vegas was Vegas saying, Okay, it was great.

Um, how are you?

That's hard to pop.

How's it going?

You know, I've been good, I've been really good.

I like your ponytail,

okay.

You know what?

I knew there'd be a story,

It is so overstimulating being a girl.

Like this more, do you ever just, you've been infiltrating my brain because more recently I'm like, I have to shave my head.

Wait, I'm so overstimulated by my hair.

Paige has been like sending me cute, like pixie cut looks.

And I start Eva laughing.

I go, no, literally, this, I think this is what you've done our whole friendship.

You get one idea and you're like, let me see if I can implant this in patients.

And I say it to you, and you go, are you fucking kidding me?

And I go, just wait four years.

Literally, your track record is getting less and less years.

It took six for a cat.

The pixie might come in four.

We don't know.

Well, Kim K did it, but hers looked like so similar to her mom's.

Yeah.

And I.

I didn't.

Love hers, honestly.

I just mean she's my North Star.

But like,

but it just shows like it's happening.

The girls are shaving their heads.

No, Pixies are like happening all around the world.

The men have been doing it for years.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So we'll just like see.

It's not happening anytime soon, but it's just like when it's raining and you're also a woman and you've just gotten over your period, everything is over and stimulating.

But you tried to cancel the day before.

Like, I just, I can't have hair on my face.

Like, I can't, the thought of putting leggings on.

Like, I just, I can't.

It's one of those things where, like you said, like, we don't want to be each other.

But my thing is every now and then I'm like, if I was you,

I'd shave my head.

Wait, that is so funny because

sometimes I'll be like, Hannah's not even worried about her outfit for this.

Like,

she literally

doesn't care.

She'll pick it tomorrow.

And I'm over here three days of agony.

Like, it's not right.

Like, you tried to spring something on me today to do on Wednesday.

And all that was going through my head was like, but I don't have an outfit.

And, like, I know you don't have one either.

But like, it's more critical that I don't have an outfit.

But also, like, I'm going to be stressed too, but I'm just going to have like two hours of stress right before the event.

Yeah.

Where you'll share.

Or I've already actually agreed to come, canceled it.

Not going anymore.

Texted the necessary people, said, scratch that idea.

I'm actually not going anymore.

Anyway.

Well, this is what sucks.

When we,

when there's an event and one of us wants to go,

then the other one kind of like goes.

Yeah.

It's like kind of, it's hard.

It's just hard.

But it is weird

at events without each other because I'm like, no, I don't, I can't do it, actually.

It's like, it's awesome.

Well, you were doing a lot of press and normally I'm holding your hand.

What happens?

I'm backstage with Jimmy Fallon, right?

Okay.

I take my beta blocker.

I do hair and makeup.

I get there.

I do my TikTok.

I do the pictures.

I see Jimmy.

I take my beta blocker right on time of like it's going to hit right when I'm going out there.

I'm actually not as anxious as I thought I'm going to be, but I'm not speaking.

Like,

oh, you've gone mute.

They're doing the TikTok and they're like, can you just move your mouth?

If you know me,

I go mute at a certain point where then it's like, don't talk to me, don't touch me.

Don't even really look in my general.

Was your team like who is this?

Everyone's like, Paige is like, I think a little bit anxious.

Did you fall asleep in the green room?

No, but obviously, my mom walks over and she's like, You're not nervous, are you?

Everyone says you're nervous, but you're not, right?

You're not.

And then she goes, You always do this.

Yeah, and I'm like, Okay, no, I'm not nervous.

She goes, Hey, Paige, stop.

I was doing my hair like natural curly waves.

So at one point, Mitchell was like, dip your head over so I can like fluff up your hair and then flip it back.

So I do it, and I get like a head rush of like such anxiety.

It's the little things that'll get you.

And I'm like, ooh, that was scary.

I'm never doing that again.

So then I'm standing literally at the door right before you walk out.

And Mitchell turns and goes, Do you want to do one more head flip before you go out?

And I turn and I go, I'll have a panic.

I go, I can't put my head right now, Mitchell, because I have a panic attack.

If people don't know Paige's team, Mitchell runs the show.

Paige's hair is the forefront, and then everything else is an accessory.

Every now and then you'll turn and Mitchell just has, what is it called?

A flamethrower.

What is it?

Like a wind blower.

A wind blower.

How did you get the leaf blower into security?

Oh, the amount of places he swipes.

We're like, how did that fit in your pocket?

And Mitchell's worked with me before against his will.

And my nervous tick is touching my hair.

Yeah.

And he'll just be looking at me, fuming because he just spent seven hours on making my hair perfect.

He can't.

He can't be a perfectionist.

So, no, like he, me and him, like, he can't with it.

There have only been a couple times where I've been like, Mitchell,

I'm going to freaking lose my mind.

He took my hair.

on my mind.

But I love how he's like, I don't give a fuck if you have a panic attack.

Flip your hair, because if you're gonna have a panic attack, it better look voluminous.

He's like, no one has sympathy for your panic attack because your hair looks like shit.

It is crazy, though, because when I did my first found appearance doing stand-up, which is a whole nother monster, I mean, I was, I couldn't have been more nervous, like before the curtain.

Okay, so you know how the guy's like, okay, and they're gonna

be so chill.

He's like, and then I'm gonna whip the curtain up, and then you're just gonna go.

He was giving me that spiel, and in my head, I was trying to telepathically say to him, I'm going to have.

Like, I was like, no, I usually, and I was trying to explain it to other people.

I was like, you don't understand.

When I do it with Hannah, she walks first.

She talks first.

Then I have a second to give myself like, okay, and we're here and we're doing it.

But I didn't have to talk first.

I was like, but no, she's not here.

So I have to walk.

How does someone start a sentence?

How do you put words together?

You know, we are so comfortable together.

That's literally me backstage.

I'm like, I don't remember English.

I can only speak Spanish.

Son of what you only know Spanish.

All your high school classes, you're like, oh, yo, Caprendo.

I saw the clip.

You look so relaxed and like effortless.

Thank you.

Well, that is my new thing now is like if I do something then and it's over, everyone's like, no one could even tell that you were freaking out in town.

Like that's how people congratulate me.

They're like, no one even knows that you're a fucking wreck.

You know, one of my Ryder Cup interviews, like there's something about going live that's really scary and I was like totally chill, but it was like 5 a.m.

I don't know.

The men were yelling and it goes live and I realized my hand is shaking.

After it, I was like, my hand was shaking.

That's so embarrassing.

And then I watched it.

You can't see my hand shaking.

No, I've had an eye Twitch for three months.

Mental health moment, another one.

I'm on my shit today.

Yeah, it's good.

Because I have glasses on.

I'm so therapist.

In order to fall asleep, you first have to pretend you're sleeping.

Chris is confused, honestly.

And it sounds like waves outside.

Now think about it.

So in order to sleep, you first have to pretend you're sleeping.

You have to read through the lines, Chris.

Anything you want in life, you have to pretend that you already have it.

So when you're going out to do something that's scary, you first have to pretend

you're not scared and you've already done it.

So everyone take that with you for the rest of the week.

By the way, the girls are chugging their refreshers.

They keep getting DMs.

I'm drinking my mango pineapple less concentrate green tea and it's so good.

What about you?

I now

pick my refresher based on my outfit.

So I'm doing my blueberry, but it's a little more concentrated because I was wearing a darker color.

And I love that for you.

I know you know exactly how many,

how much concentrate you need to hit the burgundy level you want.

I have some like celebrity tea.

So I've been like texting around because look when someone comes out with a new face I'm on it.

Wait, I know whose face you're talking about.

I don't want to name any names right now because

we protect identities and women on this pod.

Emma Stone.

Okay, Emma Stone is my North Star.

Yeah.

So some celebrities, apparently,

they're just doing really good face tape.

And it could be a lie and I could be spreading a lie and this could be propaganda, but i think that some looks like they are just snatching i could pull face back with face tape and it's like the technology's gotten better where it doesn't look i mean doshi just does it i was just gonna say she does it and like wears it yeah but i think that there's subtle ones that like the the human eye can't see

I would understand that because there are some times where I'm like, this look needs a ponytail because I need my face snatched back.

It's just like, I'll do it to myself.

Yeah.

So I think, or like, if you have a wig, it's easy to just throw on some face tape.

I also think

that women that are, like, I would say what?

Emma Stone's probably only like a couple years older than us, right?

Like maybe she's like 36, 37.

I think that women are doing baby, baby facelifts.

Yeah.

And they're foregoing like a bunch of Botox and fillers and all of like that stuff.

And they're just

doing a simple incige pull.

Well, I do have to say, the Gen Z's, I feel so bad that they're almost like

rice, mice experiments for filler.

And they were just like, oh, like, let's put some filler.

It's cute.

And then, like, the millennials.

I hate to blame a woman.

I hate to blame a woman.

But

all of these Gen Z women who have succumbed to plastic surgery, all that really tells me is that they don't have scary moms.

None of their moms are terrifying and it shows because you're telling me you can come home with a new face.

I would get literally eviscerated.

My mom knew when I spent one extra minute in the tanning bed.

Oh my God.

She's like, you ruined your gorgeous face.

You ruined it.

You ruined it.

You're done.

You ruined your, like, if I went and got my eyebrows waxed a little too thin, she would be like,

you're done.

You're done.

You're done in this town.

You've never dyed your hair.

I've never dyed my hair.

The fear of my mother

has honestly saved me in so many different situations.

Italian moms instill a fear in you.

It's such a unique thing.

I fear guilt, it's all.

I feel like

once I, my brother and I, we were like 18.

My brother's like, I'm going to smoke weed, but like, I don't know how to do it in in the backyard or whatever and we've we say backyard like on the stoop yeah and i was like stop with all the drama like let's just ask mom and he's like are you how do you know mom invites you to do drugs

this is why you look at it into the bathroom look you're like i'm lenorient

tight i'm like let me let's just let me talk to her logically about this she's actually not gonna be mad at me i'm 18 you're you're 17 i'm like let me just talk to her and figure this out so i go lenore can I speak to you for a second?

Wait, you literally.

I swear to God, I go, Can Daniel just smoke some weed?

Like, he's not doing heroin.

Like, can you just smoke some weed?

At the time, she was the principal of middle school in Brooklyn.

She then explained to me how him smoking weed on the

stoop on the soup or wherever, with her knowledge, would get her fired from her job.

We would lose the house and we'd all be living on the streets.

To which I went back to my brother and I said, talk didn't go well.

We'd be on the streets if you smoked weed right now.

So we'd be like,

Don't tell me like a normal case.

COVID high in the backyard.

Like, why am I having this conversation?

And she's like, you now ratting him out has now put me in trouble as a witness, you dumb bitch, is what Lenore said to me.

But by the way, Lenore texted me, she wants the giggles to know, apparently Teflon is causing issues, non-stick pans.

So she told everyone to get carbon steel because the non-stick Teflon apparently is, it it also causes cancer but that's what I woke up to like my mom is Dr.

Fauci like literally

all my Instagram messages from her are different things they've discovered for me to stay away from that's why I don't understand most newscasters are men because my mom knows what's going on way before

I was like yeah romaine shouldn't have been eating it

She knows when like there's a vegetable that's killing everyone way before ABC.

I seen an Instagram on that.

She sends an Instagram.

By the way, the AI is getting too realistic.

Because at first I was like, mom, you're dumb bitch.

It's AI.

Now I'm sending her AI.

The Jake Paul ones.

Have you seen this?

Oh, yeah.

Apparently, he was like behind it.

Because he invested in the company or something.

Oh.

Which again, they got us.

Literal swindlers.

My thing is, I keep seeing these like mansions in Italy because you know I like to manifest.

Yeah.

And I'll like send it to my mom or you.

And it's like the craziest mansion.

And I was like, it's AI, you stupid bitch.

Come on, so now I'm going to be a little bit more.

I haven't noticed that you've been doing that.

I think maybe I sent you one.

I sent you a lot.

I see a lot of cat AI, but it's like a very obviously cat AI coming out of an ice cream scoop.

This is cat AI of cats getting arrested.

That is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Because the cop will go to a car and it's just a cat sitting in the driver's seat.

And at first, I was like, I didn't think it was AI because I'm like, that's something a cat would do.

The EDRM is working too well.

We're just like, ERPM.

E-A-A-R-P?

I need a hit of it right now.

There are, I think it's a real thing where like a guy got arrested and a cat just came over and sat on him and fell asleep while he was lying down arrested.

So like cats getting arrested is like, I don't know, that's kind of my current passion right now.

I have two Gen Z questions.

Saying things at your current passion right now is

sorry, it's just like my current passion right now.

Passion project.

Grace and Chris, are Gen Z playing Flip Cup?

Oh, wait.

I probably haven't played Flip Cup in like three, four years.

Okay, that was a good thing.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, break it down.

Wait, break it down further.

Are you guys...

Let's break this down.

Let me get in this.

Are you guys having pre-games?

Like, are pre-games still a thing?

Like, come to this apartment, drink, but then we'll go out.

Yeah.

And no one's broken out of Flip Cup battle during the dark.

So no no one's competitive.

You'll never get ahead in this world.

So that's why the Gen Z's are not chasing their dreams anymore.

And the Gen Z's are not trying hard at things because you haven't played in a Flip Cup.

No games at all.

I did play beer pong recently.

Recently.

It was so nice.

It was all nice.

And you hadn't played in like how long?

Probably like four or five years.

Okay, when I was 26,

there were bars just for beer pong.

Like we'd go to the bar, put our name on a list, and like we weren't there to drink.

We were there to compete.

We were there to like live our dreams.

Gen, also, I think drinking games

promote binge drinking, where like Gen Z isn't really binge drinking like that.

Like flip cup is like you're slamming the cup as fast as you can.

Yeah.

Beer pong, like you're slamming.

Oh, well, there was that time.

This is when the world started to turn for the worst.

2015.

When people started filling their beer pong cups with water and and just drinking the beer no that's why covet happened because we didn't have

the the antibody

of when a ball rolls and gets kicked across the entire bar and then you take it and you throw it in a beer and that person chugs it that's why we were able to face like germs i think that was our generation started that where they were like actually just drink out of one cup and yeah and we're What's the fun in that?

We started the demise of America.

Also, the way we were able to handle pressure because of Flip Cup.

Have you ever been the last person on a Flip Cup line after your team put their heart and soul into it?

And then you,

you feel the adrenaline and that team's catching up and you're the one that's messing it up.

And then you start every actually, I talked about that in therapy in my EDMR.

That was one of my traumatic moments when I lost it for my team.

It's how I realized I like organized sports.

You know, I was like, this team thing, you guys are onto something.

The camaraderie you feel.

Are your long fingers good or a deterrent when it comes to flip cup?

Oh.

There's no, there's nowhere to go but winning.

Yeah, well, you know,

you're so good at those games.

I have to say, when a guy's good at flip cup,

I'm like, it's the hottest thing ever.

When a guy's bad at flip cup, I'm like, you would, you would finger my thigh.

Like, I, like, in high school, there were so many things in high school and college that, like, you could get icked out by where, like, in your 30s, you're like, honestly a dream like but like in your 20s if someone was playing beer pong and they weren't good at it i'd be like

that's so embarrassing i'm like you probably like aren't good at bargaining

i'm like what you're the loser of your friend group and then in your 30s like do you ever realize you're dating the loser of a friend group but you're so past like school days that you're like It doesn't really matter, but in your head, it fully matters.

Like, it's like you could be dating a brother and you, like, you meet the other brother and you're like, fuck, I'm dating, like, the less hot younger brother.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sometimes in your 30s, you're like, wait, in college, I would have never even hung out with you.

And, and that's when you have to take inventory of where your life is at.

Yeah, 100%.

You know?

But sometimes you're like...

It was like when my mom, when she went to Cornell, she reminds me every day

that they would lose all the football games, but they had a cheer that was like, that's all right, that's okay, we're going to be your boss someday.

So that's, oops, and that's changing.

And that ate.

Yeah.

Like, they ate with that.

So it's like, yeah, maybe your guy wasn't the best at beer pong because he was studying because he was putting in work.

That's true.

And I know you don't care for sleep.

Probably hideous.

Also, Gen Zs, do you find you don't say LOL at the end of your text messages?

Wait, I saw this recently that Gen Z's like millennial stop using lol i put lol i'll literally be like my grandma um

i write them

fell and hurt her hip lol i write it in formal business emails i'll be like yeah i'll get to it lol

i if i don't put lol it means i'm mad at you well they know my tone yeah do you guys just i do i think i did it too like i apologize

yeah well grace is kind of like millennial coded chris well chris is a man he doesn't yeah doesn't have to put LOL.

Whoever like started that, you're stupid.

Can I, Grace, can I tell the Butter story?

Yeah, please.

I have to tell you about Grace and Butter's weekend.

So when I was gone, we had to move stuff from my house.

It's funny that you don't ever ask me to watch Butter.

Well, today was a big day.

Yeah, it was.

You.

No.

Butter never acknowledges me.

I've known her for almost 10 years.

We've said hi twice.

No, she'll hide from me.

This morning, Butter like looked me in the eye, acknowledged that I was alive, and even put her face like

next to my finger, like acknowledging it.

And all Hannah could say is like, she's really out of sorts today.

She's not acting like herself.

Like something's definitely wrong.

So Butter.

I think it's because I was gone for four days.

She gets love starved.

Yeah.

Where she's like, I'll take love from anyone at this point.

So

she also just wanted to be with me.

And even though you were there, she was like, I'll sacrifice this uncomfortable moment.

So, but Butter doesn't like men.

So we were having guys move everything out of our apartment into a different apartment.

And Grace was kind of handling the job because I was in San Diego getting my ass beat in Pilates.

And I told Grace, I said, the only thing I want you to do is just keep track of Butter because she's shifty.

She's going to be really scared.

Just make sure she's okay.

She's a street cat.

She's okay.

She's going to finagle.

Finagle.

She's throwing dice.

Literally.

Why do I picture her running an underground poker game?

100%.

So I'm like getting on a plane and I get a call from Grace.

And Grace always has like a very calm voice, but she's like, hey.

So the move went great.

Can't find butter.

And I'm like, the good news is your TV made it.

Your toiletries?

I made sure that everything's there.

Small problem.

Can't find your cat.

And I go, that's, okay.

I said, knew this was going to happen.

This is what cats do.

They find a way to hide.

And she goes, Hannah, like, everything's moved out of the apartment.

There's nowhere for her to hide.

Like, I opened the fridge.

Like, I've looked everywhere.

She's not there.

And I'm like, just give it a beat.

She'll come out.

An hour later, she calls.

She goes, hey,

still not there.

So then I actually am like, okay,

did she hide in

a box?

And like, some stuff was going in storage.

So I'm like, is butter in the storage unit?

And then I'm like, did these guys chuck the luggage?

And butter's like in a luggage in

a moving truck.

Butter's in Europe right now.

Like, who knows where she is?

So then Butter's on her way to Rikers Island.

She has no idea the terrain.

Oh my God.

So I'm like, and Grace is feeling so guilty because I gave her one note.

Yeah.

I said the one note is butter will deceive.

I don't give a fuck about any of my stuff.

Break everything.

Butter will deceive.

She will fraud.

She will do anything.

You have to keep an eye on her.

No, butter's like a really rich,

like child drug addict.

It's like, no, she will go on your Louis Vuitton and take your change.

She will look you in the eye and lie to your face.

Do not trust her.

And Grace is innocent.

Grace just thinks, but Butter was hiding under the couch and she just assumed that butter would stay there.

Yeah.

That, no, no, butter's not staying under the couch.

This isn't, butter's playing chess, she's playing checkers.

Yeah.

So butter would, who knows where butter was.

But it's one of those things with cats where like they always just kind of appear out of nowhere.

But this is the thing.

Like Grace

looked in every crevice.

I feel like all cats have one hiding spot that they're like, and you'll never find me.

Like, nobody's gonna get me.

Like, when I can't find Daphne, I'm like, I know she's in the house just because no one's been home, no one's let her out.

And so I'll scream her name, and she always appears in the same spot in the hallway, just looking at me.

Yeah, and you don't know where she came from.

Where did you come from?

Because I've looked everywhere.

A cat hiding to the extent Butter did when there's no furniture in the apartment is another level of like, was she underground?

Like, it makes you think that Butter also hosts like a true crime podcast that we have no idea about.

The Secret Life of Pets was written by Butter, so I'm actually at the point where I'm like a little nervous because these men don't care about my cat.

And Butter probably hid in something.

I don't know.

So I'm on the plane, also like

sleep deprived.

And I'm like, this is the end.

Like we lost Butter.

And like, and, and, how is, how is my relationship with Grace ever gonna be able to to

like bounce back?

Because, like, you'll know, she'll know.

Yeah.

And, and I'm, obviously, like, Grace and I are like really close, but like, she might start hanging out with you more.

And I just didn't know how that would change.

The pod would have to be.

Well, because we had cats.

Yeah.

And it's like, you wouldn't get it because you don't have a cat.

No, Giggly Squad, I was literally like, how do we announce to the gigglers?

That giggly squad's over because like the feng shui is messed up.

And I would just talk about butter being sent to Breakers Island every single day.

So I actually, for a point, like, I was looking at my mom.

my mom's like, giving the like, it's gonna be fine, but I can tell, even my mom's nervous.

Yeah, you're like, this is not good, mom.

This is not good.

I get a photo.

I get a photo from Grace.

The apartment's vacant.

And Butter's just standing in the middle of the apartment.

Like, no, Grace calls me.

She goes, see another day, Grace.

Actually,

you will.

Yeah.

But I was like, your health insurance will be received this month.

You are not fired.

And we're gonna put the photo in the newsletter because it's the funniest photo I've ever seen.

Grace told me that she was so upset.

She was like, she thought she was dry heaving.

Like she thought she lost my cat.

Well, because there's no fear.

I mean, obviously people have children.

But there's no fear like losing your animal.

Sorry.

Like, not that kid.

I don't even know that kid yet.

My cat is living with me numerous.

But there's, there's so, I have to find one of these memes where it's like everyone freaking out that they lost the cat and then the cat just walks out of nowhere, like so calm.

So, anyway,

we had a scare.

Yeah.

We had a scare, but butter's okay.

Butter, we still don't know where she hid, but that's none of our business.

How do you think she's gonna do like in general with the move?

Like, do you think she's excited for a new spot?

Do you think

she's not excited?

Okay.

Okay.

Also, butter, by the way, like, we'll go to West Hampton and she's like, I want my like one bedroom in New york city like that's my vibe she's like i don't like what is this it's lawn it's so funny because if i take daphne somewhere for like even like a night or two nights and then like we come back to my apartment she inspects it as if like she's never seen she's never been there before she's like let me see yes that is where i left things okay actually this is our home yeah it is cats are really good with like change and stuff and butter just isn't one of them yeah but again like my therapist said she should do i was just butter has boundaries butter needs some easmr because there's obviously some traumatic points where she's like,

she goes back to you.

She's like, I can't go out from under the bed.

Butter and I have been through a lot.

We've butter's been through like one, two, three, four, five.

How many men?

Like so many apartments.

Actually, Butter, iconic, she hates all the men.

I would bring home back in my day.

And once I was like lying in bed with this random man,

and she just ran across the bed, like across our chest, scared the shit out of him because I wasn't, I didn't explain.

I have a cat.

We weren't that deep at that point.

Yeah.

and I wasn't gonna explain a cat that he was never gonna see right he thought like a large

rat

who knew who knew um so anyway I think she'll be okay though because I'm bringing her rug which she loves perfect she also this is so butter coated there's a bag

That she is her best friend.

Yeah, it's this like black bag that she rolls around on and people like will try to throw it away like my mom will come in and be like, Let's throw away this trash.

And I said, That's Butter's best friend.

Sorry, that's Butter's bag.

So, she has butter's butter in her.

As long as she has her bag, it's like her emotional support bag.

She lies on it, she tries to strangle herself with it.

Butter's, I have purse.

Butter has have purse.

So, as long as she has her bag, she'll be waiting.

That's so page-coated of butter.

Actually, that's very you.

Six or eight, where's my bag?

As long as you have a little bag that you can't even fit anything in, you're happy.

You're happy, yeah.

Oh, goodness gracious.

Um, anyway, Anyway, you guys, I am going to be in Madison, Wisconsin, Gold Vedgers.

I'm going back.
