Speaker 1 Sup, gigglers. Harriet, fix the Wi-Fi.
Manifest that shit.

Speaker 1 We can't be managed.

Speaker 1 I mean, the day just got away from me.

Speaker 1 What up, my Ganachi gigglers? What's a ganache? It's a kind of dessert.

Speaker 1 Ganache?

Speaker 1 You never said, can I have a ganache?

Speaker 1 And it's a topping. And they're like, it's not an actual, like, ganache.
It's like a topping. They're like, this is a Wendy's.
Please leave.

Speaker 1 Sorry, do you have a ganache? Actually, one time I went on vacation with my mom and it was like, you could order pancakes with like fruit compote.

Speaker 1 And I pronounced it like compote or something.

Speaker 1 I think if you say anything confidently, like, and if people know what you meant, that's what language is. And that's, that's how the men have come so far.

Speaker 1 Like, they say crazy shit, they just say it sternly with a period. Yeah, if you say anything with a period, it means like it's fact.
That's why they don't want me on a microphone.

Speaker 1 That's why they don't want us on microphones because suddenly we're loud, we're taking up space. Anyway, um,

Speaker 1 I was in your hometown

Speaker 1 all weekend in Albany. You just really saw the sights.
I was at the True by Hilton across the street from Maggie McFly's and the mall. Not a great area, but

Speaker 1 I wouldn't say it's like scenic real

Speaker 1 by any means. And I also would say that I don't.
I wouldn't say you were hit in the face with culture.

Speaker 1 But the highlight was,

Speaker 1 well, Paige is like, I'm going to come to your show on Thursday

Speaker 1 and or Friday. Thursday.
Thursday. And I was like, okay.

Speaker 1 And you're, it's in a mall. Because, guys, I'm working out material.
It's in a mall. I'll do it anyway.
It's in a mall. Which used to be the greatest mall ever.
Honestly, like, now it's

Speaker 1 sad. It's such a sad mall.

Speaker 1 Was that like where you first got fingered in a mall?

Speaker 1 Is that the first place I got fingered? No, no, it wasn't. It wasn't.
She's like, my second place I have fingered. I have been fingered in that movie theater.

Speaker 1 For sure.

Speaker 1 Are you kidding?

Speaker 1 How were guys even supposed to finger you in those theaters? Like, that's insane. I feel like I had the worst experiences with guys.
Like, I just unzip my jeans for a free.

Speaker 1 I think, like, we thought they were fingering us, but they weren't. But we were like, I just got fingered.

Speaker 1 I remember the first time I got fingered. It was in a, I was in a basement.
Yeah, I was on a case. And can I tell you something? I, like, didn't know to shave.

Speaker 1 Until like three days later when one of my girlfriends was like, well, you have to shave. And I was like, wait, what? And imagine.
And I think about it actually an odd amount of time

Speaker 1 In my adult life, where I'm like, what if I never shit?

Speaker 1 You're just representing the 80s. Like, that shit was cool.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Do you know, like, men who grew up in the 80s, a lot of them like bushes because that's the porn they saw.
Right. And they think it's weird when girls are.

Speaker 1 Do you want to hear something that makes my first time fingering story even 10 times grosser than like a ninth grader getting fingered? Yeah.

Speaker 1 His name was Gary.

Speaker 1 I know. If you guys don't know,

Speaker 1 every man's name is Gary.

Speaker 1 And your brother's nickname is Gary. Wait, you know what I didn't realize? Both our brother and dad have the same name.
Yeah. But mine is Dan and Daniel.

Speaker 1 We have so much material for this weekend.

Speaker 1 You guys, I just dropped a bomb on the Giga Squad pod. I know you're going to look at us differently now.
Wait, but I love how your parents call him. They call him Big Gear or Little Gare.

Speaker 1 Big Gare and Little Gear. That's cute.
That's cute. Yeah.
Because Gary's, my brother's not an actual like junior, like they don't have the same middle name.

Speaker 1 I love how your dad was like, he doesn't get the full name.

Speaker 1 He doesn't get a numerical thing next to his name. But my parents came to Hannah's.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Paige, you just don't communicate.
No, I don't. You're a literal man.
You text me. I'll see you at the show tonight.
I have no idea how you're getting there.

Speaker 1 I'm like, you're in New York City. What are you talking about? I show up at the mall.
She's standing right outside in the mall. Hello.
With her full family, like 100 Italians.

Speaker 1 And we're here. She doesn't realize that stand-up comedy in the clubs, it's not as glamorous as theater life.
And that's all Prince knows. All I know is theater life.

Speaker 1 All she knows is sold-out theaters. So I get her to the back, and it's literally the tiniest green room with one frat

Speaker 1 leather couch. Yeah.

Speaker 1 A casting couch. A true casting couch.

Speaker 1 And Kim sits down kind of like,

Speaker 1 and she brought us food.

Speaker 1 She did. She brought, okay, Okay, Hannah was with Allie Colbert and my mom.
Who's not Italian, so this was hilarious. No, but I feel like she has the like.

Speaker 1 She's a New Yorker. Yeah.

Speaker 1 My mom made fritzels, which are like these hard, like roll. They almost look like bagels, but they're not bagels.
Yeah, they're like massive bagels with every Italian thing you could put on them.

Speaker 1 You have olives, you have pepperoni, you have all kinds of pepperoni, you have the meats, you have the banana peppers. I don't know.
Yeah. It turns out.
It's all the stuff.

Speaker 1 It's basically like basically a sandwich on a it's a subway sandwich for the mafia that's what it is that's what it is and so there she's got the food your dad is pushing the food on us pushing it hard he's like al you're not gonna have a salami thinks everyone's hungry like imagine stuffing your face before you go out on stage it's like the craziest concept if i deep-throated a salami before getting on stage like it would be i'd be on tmz for just like imploding for one time i was at a cheerleading competition and i got in trouble because my mom gave me nachos before i was about to compete compete.

Speaker 1 And she's probably going to be like

Speaker 1 she's hungry. They're like, she's going to throw up on the mat.
All she had today was breakfast and lunch and a snack. She's starving.

Speaker 1 That's literally what I knew. No, but okay, the funniest part about it was like Allie, if you don't know Allie, you have to go follow her on Instagram and like watch her videos.

Speaker 1 She's very straightforward, says whatever she's like thinking, but hilarious.

Speaker 1 And she was saying the most crude, crazy things to my parents. Which, by the way, I feel like when I'm in front of your parents, I try to behave a little.
I try to drop less hands.

Speaker 1 I do. I don't want them going home and being like, that hand is not good for our daughter.
Like, I want to be represent. Allie's saying whatever.

Speaker 1 People are catching strays. She's being hilarious, like doing full stand-up.
She leaves the room for a minute. 30 seconds.
My dad turns and goes, she's cute as a button. He goes,

Speaker 1 she's adorable.

Speaker 1 And I looked, I actually got jealous. I was like, are you fucking, I could have been doing my best bitch too, but I thought we were being appropriate in front of the family.
And she goes rogue.

Speaker 1 And he's like, she's cute as a button. I'm like,

Speaker 1 then she does like a lesbian joke on stage and shouts out my dad.

Speaker 1 So then I was like, what is going on? Like, like, he's, they're, like, best friends now, buddies. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So anyway, I. I was a little jealous, right? But I was like, it's okay.
Like, it's fine. That's how I'd feel if your dad like laughed at someone else's joke.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like, imagine I bring a new friend and my dad's obsessed with her and you're sitting there and you were like, I thought i was blood related to you no so and also i was like you wouldn't even have met her if it wasn't for me i brought her here she's my friend gary

Speaker 1 so and kim innocent throughout the whole thing kim's just enjoying life making sure i'm okay you guys

Speaker 1 Shout out Albany sold out five shows. Let's go.
No, Albany.

Speaker 1 You guys couldn't sit. So you guys stood in the back and watched my whole show and it was really cute.
And I laughed so hard. And then I called you up at the end.
And that was really fun.

Speaker 1 That was really fun. Speaking of not fun, the next day, Paige is like, I'm going to pick you up and I'm going to take you to my

Speaker 1 parents' house, which actually felt so high school. It felt so high school.
Like my mom said, you can come over if you want to come over. And I was like, oh my God, perfect.
So we get there.

Speaker 1 It felt like you came home off the bus. You know, like, my mom said, you can come home off the bus.
It kind of felt like. like.

Speaker 1 you made friends with public school kids and you were like, can I show you what it's like?

Speaker 1 Like we got out of the car and you were like, take your shoes off. Just take your shoes off.
These are cloth napkins.

Speaker 1 Have you guys ever seen them?

Speaker 1 So we walk in and Kim just spoils us. Made a full chicken farm lunch.
I mean, there were six courses. Six and it was just

Speaker 1 a lunch. And Allie is just flabbergasted.
She's never had this kind of treatment. So we were gossiping, we're eating all the food.
And then I was like, can we see Lord Daphne? Yeah.

Speaker 1 and you were like, Yes, she's upstairs. I can see what she's doing.
And I'm like, Allie's like, I'm not really a cat person. I'm like, Allie, you're gonna fucking fucking a cat person.

Speaker 1 I was like, I love this cat. Also, I'm gonna convert you to a cat person.
Like, you're gonna love this cat.

Speaker 1 Daphne, similar to Gary,

Speaker 1 obsessed with Allie. Obsessed.

Speaker 1 Like, Allie walking her back against Allie's back, like, just like looking at her. Learning

Speaker 1 wanted

Speaker 1 little to nothing to do with you. I would say she actually disliked me.

Speaker 1 And I was like, Daphne, you wouldn't even fucking be here for it wasn't. But then, like, part of me loved it.

Speaker 1 I was like, I love that she doesn't like me because then I like want to earn her affection. Well, Daphne's extremely vain.

Speaker 1 And she was like official. She didn't like myself.
You know, so she was like, that's how you come to my home. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because normally I would say I give good energy, but I now realize I think she was disgusted by my jeans that I haven't washed for two weeks. And she could smell it.
See, dogs love it.

Speaker 1 Dogs, they're up my canal. They go,

Speaker 1 this girl's peanut butter busy.

Speaker 1 Yo, have you showered?

Speaker 1 She's like, I shit in a box, and I'm cleaner.

Speaker 1 So, anyway, she's like, Mommy, brush me.

Speaker 1 She's like, Do you want my mommy to brush your hair? It was just so funny when pets like clearly prefer someone.

Speaker 1 And so that was insulting. And again, I was like, Allie, like, you're not even, you shouldn't even be here.
Like, I invited you. Yeah.
And you're taking all the attention and gravitas.

Speaker 1 You just wanted to use the word gravitas. As I was saying it, I was like, I don't know if that's going to work.
But no, we love Allie so much. And I'm, I'm also one of those people.
That's a brag.

Speaker 1 I want other people to have fun. Yeah.
I'll take the hit. I'll take the hit.
I want you to. I actually do get obsessed with, to the point that it gives me social anxiety.

Speaker 1 Like, I can't enjoy myself if I think someone is not having fun. Really?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Like, if if I

Speaker 1 told her,

Speaker 1 if I told her, hey, we're going to lunch, and then I'm noticing her not having a good time, like, I'm, I'm stressed. Okay, I thought you meant just like random people.

Speaker 1 I'm like, how do you get anything done during the day?

Speaker 1 Like, you're just worrying about if everyone's having a good time. If I throw a party the whole time, I'm stressed.
That's like why weddings are stressful.

Speaker 1 Cause it's like everyone like canceled their plans to come to your wedding. It better be friends.
When's the last time you threw a party?

Speaker 1 My Netflix party, which honestly

Speaker 1 lit. Lit.
because i put my heart and soul into that i had chicken fingers i still think about that picture of me where i'm like

Speaker 1 well you didn't like your shorts gotta get out you didn't like your shorts yeah i didn't like my outfit and you couldn't handle i couldn't take you were just hiding behind my nana for like 30 minutes no i held nana's hands

Speaker 1 and my nana was like you're so pretty just like me

Speaker 1 i love that she's friends with you No, Nana is my Nana. Like, I feel like you guys almost are too alike where you're like, this is weird.
It's too powerful.

Speaker 1 It's giving like freaky Friday like you're like did I sneeze and

Speaker 1 am I Nana?

Speaker 1 Do you think I'm little Gary?

Speaker 1 Kind of you kind of are like my older brother. Yeah, I was trying to explain to Allie who's a lesbian our relationship and she was we left the house and she's like She's your partner.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, we're partner. Because she was like, no, we're more than friends.
Like, like, okay, like if we were to to be with another friend duo, I'd be like, cute. That's adorable.

Speaker 1 We would leave and be like, they think they're fun. Yeah.
Like, that's so sweet of you guys to like be friends. But like, we're life.

Speaker 1 We're partners. Well, Allie was like, I love to hang out with you guys because I love being like a third wheel.
And I'm like, what do you mean? She's like, I love hanging out with couples.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, what do you mean? And she's like, you guys will talk with your eyes all the time. Like, you're like, you're an extension of it.
And then Allie kept telling me like really good gossip.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And at one point she stops and she's like, Are you going to tell Paige all of this? And I was like, yeah.
And she paused for a second.

Speaker 1 And I was like, first of all, Paige doesn't know all these niche people we're talking about. Second of all, Paige doesn't remember anything.

Speaker 1 Her fault. Paige has her own

Speaker 1 shit going on. I got my own problem.
She's fine. But yes, I will tell her.
No. That's why it's like gossiping.
If you're going to gossip with one of us, you're gossiping with both of us.

Speaker 1 But it's a safe space. Yes.
Like we share the same ideas. So it's not, it's not not like oh my god Don't tell anyone.
Oh, she told one friend. Yeah was Paige.

Speaker 1 It's like no you were telling me when you told Hannah 100%

Speaker 1 Yeah, so she was like you have a full partner and I was like I know and I was like I am the man one mm-hmm and she was like that typically happens in a lesbian relationship sometimes one of them wears the pants more

Speaker 1 and so yeah and okay this is the funniest part is Allie

Speaker 1 in front of Paige's parents who she just met yeah jokingly turns to the parents and goes, Paige and I have to tell you something about our relationship.

Speaker 1 Imagine I just come home and I'm like, guys, I'm a lesbian and this is my girlfriend. I don't even drop the lesbian part first.
I'm just like, and this is my girlfriend.

Speaker 1 This Allie is so cute too, but honestly, I feel like you'd be with a blonde. That's what I see for you.

Speaker 1 Or for us in our thruple. Yeah, I was just going to say.
I feel like you wouldn't want a girl who's like looks similar to you at all.

Speaker 1 I would either want a girl who was like really feminine and like that i could share stuff with but i'm like that's a friend yeah or you just want a girl kim stop listening you just want a girl with like huge boobs so you could like see what it's like and then decide if you want to boob jab or not

Speaker 1 like i'm like you put my top on and see like if it looks

Speaker 1 i don't know if it like

Speaker 1 change can you turn around can you can you move your arms in it i don't know hug yourself is it fit if you hug yourself, does it still feel good?

Speaker 1 When I was little, that was all my mom would say when we would be in the mall, trying clothes on. Hug yourself.

Speaker 1 Oh, just that room? That means it's comfortable. I've never heard that before.
I've never heard that before. Yeah.
Oh, my God. So you're just like in the dressing room.

Speaker 1 I'm just like, I'm like, yeah, I saw it broom.

Speaker 1 Wait, the dressing room is so traumatizing, especially at Aritzia where there's no mirrors.

Speaker 1 Actually, I couldn't tell you the last time I went into a dressing room and I tried something on. And the Aritzia one, I've been to one time and I never went back because I was like,

Speaker 1 that's crazy. I'm not walking out.
It seemed like a.

Speaker 1 People's boyfriends are there. No, it was like a harassment ritual.

Speaker 1 Wait, what is what's the word?

Speaker 1 It was an embarrassment ritual. Yeah.
It was a

Speaker 1 humiliation ritual. No, it is.
It literally is. Like, you walk out and everyone goes, don't worry, don't buy that.
I just would never. I would never.

Speaker 1 I would never. Oh, that's interesting.
Oh, no. Turn.

Speaker 1 Like, that's what I'm getting from everyone. It's like, this is, I'm not trying on my wedding dress.
Oh, yeah. I don't need to stand on a pedestal in front of, like, in a circle.

Speaker 1 This isn't a town hall meeting. No.
When I try something on, I don't need a group. like forum.

Speaker 1 Like what there was definitely a boardroom meeting specifically about the dressing rooms of Aritzia and what man was like, let's put it in the middle.

Speaker 1 So what they say is that it helps sell stuff because you have to walk out and then a salesperson has to say I like it on you

Speaker 1 I'd like to see the numbers on it because I wouldn't walk out no that's what I did I thought that there was something defunct in my room and I was like oh I got a room that looked

Speaker 1 the mirror fell off or something and then I like walk outside and no I think it's so inappropriate the vulnerability that you have to be when you try on something.

Speaker 1 Also, I'm not wearing a matching outfit. I don't have makeup on.
I already feel like a rat,

Speaker 1 Just like a hairless small rat. I don't try things on.
I ordered online and then I tried on the comfort of my home and then I return it like a normal person.

Speaker 1 I ordered it online, I forget to return it like a normal person. Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, that's so you.

Speaker 1 By the way, whenever we talk about when we're on our period, any other gigglers that are on their period message me and they said there's a conspiracy theory that all the gigglers are synced up.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, could someone sync up with me? Because obviously, like the month I'm ready to freeze my eggs, my period is like, actually, we don't want to come. Did your period come?

Speaker 1 No, haven't gotten it in two months. But you're not pregnant.
No.

Speaker 1 I'm stressed out. You know, I'm stressed out.
So now I'm like, where's the waiting? Where's the blood going? I think my body is so sensitive that it's like, oh, we know we're supposed to do something.

Speaker 1 And like, my body is so me. You know, it's like, oh, you want us to come? That's hilarious.

Speaker 1 You're like,

Speaker 1 you have one job. No, literally, you have one job.
One job. I'm sorry.
And so I'm just waiting for it. Periods are so funny because you want to get it so bad.

Speaker 1 And then when you get it you hate it so much. Yeah.
And that's called the life of a woman.

Speaker 1 Anywho. Forever's 21.
What's going on? I know how sad. I mean all their clothes is in landfills, but what are they actually bankrupt? Are they just like announcing bankruptcy?

Speaker 1 I think they're just like closing all the stores. Like period.
I think they're done, yeah. But like keeping it online? No, I don't think so.
I think done, done.

Speaker 1 Maybe they should charge more than $2 for jeans. You want to know what it is? I think with like these stores, the people that

Speaker 1 we're in our 30s now and they didn't grow with us. Wait, you could be so right.
Like, that's what I think about a lot of like stores that close. Like, it.

Speaker 1 Also, I feel like Gen Zs have opinions on, like, strong opinions on fast fashion. Yeah.
But I don't know. And I don't think they're shopping the way like we were in store.

Speaker 1 Like, and we only had Forever 21. Yeah.
Like, Abercrombie hadn't like done their.

Speaker 1 Well, it was like the first place we could afford, and you could just like go off at Forever 21.

Speaker 1 Um, but then now there's so many fast fashion places, like I guess like Sheen and all of them have just like yeah, I mean, you couldn't, there wasn't like Amazon Prime when we went to, I remember I would hit Forever 21

Speaker 1 and BB, and those are my best.

Speaker 1 And that was like my summer wardrobe. Do you know who loves BB? Hill.
My Nana. No.
She's obsessed with BB. No, I loved BB so much.
I literally, this is how much I loved it.

Speaker 1 Being in like high school, I was too young to work there and all I wanted to do was work there. I was like, mom, I could get a discount.
She was like, you're 14.

Speaker 1 I was like, I get a discount. I could work with the cash register.
And she was like, you can't count change. Did you ever just, for fun, walk into Hot Topic? Yeah.
Like, and Spencer's. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just to be like, do I want to have a goth day? And then you're like, wait, I'm scared. No, my mom would have screamed at me.

Speaker 1 Oh my God, mall.

Speaker 1 That's the only store that survived in Albany in the mall was like Spencer's. I'm like, how? I'm not.
No, that's crazy. I'm not trying to be like, I'm not a gutter guy.

Speaker 1 Wait, do you see my eye twitching? I've had an eye twitch for three days.

Speaker 1 And you know what that means. I love that you do because normally you blame it on tour and now you can just blame it on yourself.
I have an eye twitch, which means a man is about to die.

Speaker 1 Oh no, it's that time of year. I have to sacrifice a man.

Speaker 1 No, truly, I've had this eye twitch for like four days because you're also so everyone's like staring at it. I don't even think that everyone's staring at it.
I'm just like, what?

Speaker 1 Is it your bigger eye or your smaller eye? It's your bigger eye. Why did I even ask you? I can't say that.
What a fucked up question.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Check your cornea.
No, it's just like I think stress.

Speaker 1 I personally feel like spring is the superior season, especially for style. I feel like summer, I'm hot.
I don't want to wear any clothes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, winter, I'm wearing too many clothes. It's too much.
Spring is the perfect amount of clothes.

Speaker 1 And that's why we're excited to get into this special segment presented by Nordstrom and ACAS Creative.

Speaker 1 It's your go-to destination for spring as you look to add the latest trends to your wardrobe this season. But we need to know from Paige.
What trends from Nordstrom are people getting?

Speaker 1 Here's the other thing about spring that I just want to say. It's like a fresh start.
So like if you're like, oh, I'm going to revamp my entire personality. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're going to just change your name, change your job, also change all of your clothes. Some of my favorite spring trends, I'm loving a trench, loving a trench coat.

Speaker 1 Love a crop trench coat, like a to the floor trench coat. Love a trench coat as a dress with some knee-high, thigh-high boots.
And like a belt. Slouchy belts are in, and like big, slouchy bags.

Speaker 1 I love that big bags are back in because it's like,

Speaker 1 I wasn't fitting anything before.

Speaker 1 So like a big bag can really like change your whole outfit. I'm also loving Kendrick Lamar's jeans.

Speaker 1 And those are in style. 70s inspired denim, full skirts.
And Nordstrom has everything. They have mango, they have skims, Levi's, free people, Madewell, Veronica Beard.

Speaker 1 Veronica Beard has such good coats right now too. Like, do yourself a favor, get a nice spring jacket.
Yeah. Just get one.
Nothing says spring. Like, this is my spring jacket.
Yes.

Speaker 1 And this is the outfit. I hate when I put on a jacket that just ruins everything that I created.
The best thing about spring too is you know what you're buying for spring.

Speaker 1 You can also repurpose in the summer and the fall. Yeah.
I also used to live by a Nordstrom and what people don't know about it is they have really good like beauty.

Speaker 1 They have skincare, eye patches, tools, moisturizer, serum. So they have like fun extra stuff too.
And there's thousands of options under $100.

Speaker 1 So it's affordable and trendy. Also spring is you're figuring out what your summer plans are.
You're going on like a little weekend away. Nordstrom really is great for packing.

Speaker 1 I've become such a good packer since you have. Like I'm

Speaker 1 in there with my packing cubes.

Speaker 1 See, I'm panic packing. Nordstrom makes it easy to get what you need within your daily routine through fast delivery, risk-free shopping, the option to return.

Speaker 1 So I love Nordstrom for last-minute things that I need on a trip. You can get vacation ready with Nordstrom with a ton of styles and travel essentials, all for under $100.

Speaker 1 They have free store pickups you buy online, pick up today or pick up tomorrow for a wider selection. Choose curbside.
We love that. At Nordstrom stores or in-store.

Speaker 1 At Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rec, both options are quick and convenient.

Speaker 1 And one of my favorite things about Nordstrom is you can get free standard shipping all the time, plus a two-day and next day option.

Speaker 1 I'm in there with the next day option. Plus it's risk-free shopping with free returns in store or by mail.

You know, like

Speaker 1 you would think the technology. No, it looks like a maze.

We're just going to stuff this up you. And you're like, stainless steel duck beak.
No, no lube. None at all.

Speaker 1 And then they're just like, this won't, this won't hurt.

Speaker 1 Like, that's crazy. Yeah, crazy.
So how often do you do that?

Speaker 1 Well, you go once a year. Once a year, yeah.
So anyway, everything was fine. I know you guys were nervous.
Good. But we're fine.
See, I always have an abnormal and I have to do more.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I've always had abnormal since I was like 16. What's abnormal about it? So many things.
Who knows?

Speaker 1 Well, thank you for raising awareness and making people that are less alone who have abnormal paps. Yeah, and then I have to go and I'll always have to get...

Speaker 1 You've never had to get your cervix like scraped

Speaker 1 to do like more testing? I don't think so. I always have to get my cervix scraped.
Why do they have to test the cells?

Speaker 1 Why do they cut? Because they literally go in and scrape a piece off of it to like...

Speaker 1 Chris has shut the fuck up. Chris has thrown up in his mouth seven times.

Speaker 1 Chris, you're so freaking lucky. I hope that someone sticks something up your butthole.

Speaker 1 I hope someone literally when you cough and they're feeling your anyway, that's not gonna, I'm gonna get fired

Speaker 1 Chris you don't fucking get it No Chris has actually learned a lot from us question. I wanted to ask you

Speaker 1 because I I put on Smartlist for the first time. I never

Speaker 1 listened to them. Oh, okay.
But like Adam Scott was on and I'm into severance and their first initial conversation was like

Speaker 1 what they need when they sleep.

Speaker 1 And I was like, I actually don't really know what you need when you sleep. Actually, I kind of know what you need when you sleep.
You like it to be dark.

Speaker 1 Then you need to be watching something

Speaker 1 and you need your phone in one hand.

Speaker 1 And then you kind of just let the night take you where it goes. Where it may.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I need it cool. I need to be like cool.
I need to be like 68 in the room. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I need my Stanley to be properly filled and next to me. So one thing that Paige hates about me is I do have Stanley's, but I don't put ice in it.

Speaker 1 So I just have warm Stanley's all the time she literally bring a water bottle that like then what's the point of a Stanley if you're not gonna use its

Speaker 1 sorry I don't have an expensive ice machine but you have ice don't make it about the ice machine don't make it about the ice wait you want me to hand make ice you have an ice maker yeah but i don't like it i feel like it's dirty i it like sometimes smells you know what smells like old water does anyone nobody well then you need to clean it you clean your ice machine.

Speaker 1 You have to clean your ice machine.

Speaker 1 Don't use that ice machine.

Speaker 1 You've cleaned your ice machine. I personally haven't, but I've had my like.
You go, you call my ice machine cleaner. I got a guy.

Speaker 1 I'll send you a guy. I'll scrap it.

Speaker 1 Where were we? Oh, yeah. So you have your Stanley.
I have my Stanley. And that's pretty much it.
That's it. Do you like blackout curtains?

Speaker 1 I love them, but like, it's super dangerous for a person like me. We can't wake up.
No. If you give me like blackout curtains, especially on like vacation, I've missed the whole day.
100%.

Speaker 1 See, this is the problem with marriage. Oh, you could never have a blackout curtain.
No, Des like needs blackout curtains. Oh, he does.
So Des is like much more

Speaker 1 temperamental. So temperamental.
Where I just want it ice cold.

Speaker 1 And that's it. Yeah.
I could have

Speaker 1 as far to say you don't even need the mattress or the accoutrement that go with it. I don't use a pillow.
You'll lay your head wherever. I just don't want to feel hot.
And that's it.

Speaker 1 But like, I, I, I really like the sun coming in because I won't wake up. Or when I do, I'm going to be like in a dark, dark, depressed state.
Yeah. And then that's bad for everyone in my vicinity.

Speaker 1 No, I like a blackout curtain, but I

Speaker 1 have to be regimented with it or else I'll. You have to set a strong alarm.
Yeah. Like I have like semi-blackout curtains right now.

Speaker 1 Do you remember in the movie The Holiday when Kate Winslet goes to the LA mansion and when she wakes up all of it all automatically, all the windows open? I was and there's like a beach outside.

Speaker 1 I was like, okay, goals. Yeah.
Manifest. I love that.
Des does this annoying thing where if I like make a movement, he wakes up. Like he wakes up so easily and he says it's because he's a hunter.

Speaker 1 Do you ever, are you ever like in bed with your husband and he's asleep and you're just like, it's not happening for me right now. Like, I'm just not, there's just a no situation.
I'm going to sleep.

Speaker 1 So do you remove yourself and like go to the couch and do your own thing and then go back? Or do you just lay there on your phone like no sound? Do you have a TV in your room? No. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know what kind of. Wait.
Wait. I don't know what kind of military operation.

Speaker 1 Is it a handmaid's tail over there? What the fuck are you talking about? You just have to sit there with your thoughts. He doesn't like you

Speaker 1 have a TV in your room. We just don't.
And honestly, it's because of- Don't make excuses for him. My parents.
Like, my parents are like, there's no TV allowed in your room.

Speaker 1 Oh, so you've never had a TV in your room. No, your last apartment, you had a TV in your room.
No.

Speaker 1 So when you go to bed at night, sorry, my eye is twitching now, like I'm faster than ever. What are you doing in there?

Speaker 1 Okay, so first I watch TV on the couch until I'm like about to pass out, but then which is like what time though? Give me a time. It can vary from 10 to 1.
Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 And then I try to roll myself in bed, try not to wake up Dez, but he's always like, oh, I'm a hunter. Yeah.
And then I'm like, okay, please stop.

Speaker 1 And then I get into bed and then I go on my New York Times Crossword app. Okay.
And that normally puts me asleep. Okay.

Speaker 1 He listens to like a podcast in his ear.

Speaker 1 That's his thing he listens to like boring podcasts you guys are freaks well and then if i can't then i wait and then butter comes and butter starts cuddling me and that normally puts me to sleep okay but we have this one rule in our relationship where we're both he he has filmed me snoring before which is illegal like that's hippa yeah

Speaker 1 but He knows he snores sometimes

Speaker 1 and he said I'm allowed to wake him up if he's snoring. Yeah.
So when he snores, I poke him and he goes,

Speaker 1 There's nothing I love more than waking a man up when he's snoring.

Speaker 1 Because you're like, you're ruining the experience for everyone. I do have to say, snoring husbands, like, I think it

Speaker 1 ruins marriages. I could see that.
See, I'm a big fan of like,

Speaker 1 if I'm sleeping in the bed with a man and like I can't fall asleep and they're obviously like fell asleep three hours ago, I love scramming.

Speaker 1 Like I love sneaking out of the bedroom, getting on the couch, turning my TikTok TikTok on full fucking blast

Speaker 1 and like falling, and then falling asleep on my own, like on the couch. Yeah.
And then like going back in the bedroom at like 5 a.m. when I wake up.
You're a cat. No, I live.

Speaker 1 That's what a cat doesn't. No, like I have to, it's almost like I have to be, this is one of the reasons I'm actually so scared that like maybe I really never will get married.

Speaker 1 I hate sleeping in bed with men. Like I genuinely hate it.
And I

Speaker 1 don't know what it is because like I can fall asleep on the couch with them, but once it comes to like getting in the bed and like falling asleep, I'm like,

Speaker 1 no, I have to be alone. Like I have to hang out with myself more.
It doesn't make sense. Like we all have roommates, right?

Speaker 1 And then you get to the point where you try to not have a roommate, but then you meet a guy and now you're forced to have a roommate. Right.

Speaker 1 But this roommate literally takes up half the bed and is hot and is breathing in your fucking. And I'm like, and now I can't watch a TV show and like also have my phone on when it's like 3 a.m.

Speaker 1 Because you have to sleep.

Speaker 1 So I understand intimacy sometimes. I understand quality time.
Yeah. When you're both asleep, like, is that really intimacy? It's just like, you can't all have like four bedroom houses.

Speaker 1 I feel like I need my own bedroom. Sleeping in separate beds, I honestly think is great.
Or just get like the biggest possible bed you can find.

Speaker 1 I need my own bedroom and I'm so down to start the night with you and then like start the morning with you. But what I do in the in-between is like none of your business.

Speaker 1 You're starting a business, you're running numbers, you're looking up past exes, exes, exes, girlfriends. You have stuff to do during the night.

Speaker 1 I saw a TikTok that was like, I still stalk my ex's ex, even though we broke up, but she's part of my routine.

Speaker 1 Wait, wait, your comfort stock. Your comfort stock.
Your comfort stock, where like when you watch them,

Speaker 1 it kind of makes your day. Yeah.
You know, like I haven't had like a good, I haven't had anyone good to stalk in so long because like I, my Finsta, I like, it got taken away.

Speaker 1 It not got taken away, but I literally like forgot the password. It was like another, one of my other girlfriends.
And I was just like, it got logged off my Instagram like two years ago.

Speaker 1 And I was like, I probably shouldn't have one anymore. And like, I don't have anyone good to stalk.
So like, I don't have, but when I saw that, I was like, oh, I miss like stalking people.

Speaker 1 I will stalk like random people.

Speaker 1 Like, I like to see a photo of like a girl who looks cool and I'll click on her and I'm like oh my god she's so cool like her outfit yeah look at her aesthetic and then I'll see the guy she's with and I'll click him yeah and the next you know I'm in like a wormhole of like I've actually followed this girl for years and she's not famous she's not an influencer but I found her one day and she lives in Lebanon and I watched her get engaged and I watched her get married and I just thought she was pretty I think she's so pretty and I think her husband's so hot and they're just like a normal couple that doesn't live in America.

Speaker 1 And I stalk her all the time.

Speaker 1 And that's important. I think that's important.
And that's important. And that's important for the world.
Yeah. Can I say a criticism of Instagram? I follow anything that inspires me on Instagram.

Speaker 1 Like, if I see one design account, follow. Yeah.
Oh, no. You throw out follows.

Speaker 1 I follow over 6,000 things on Instagram. Wow.
That's not what Instagram's made for because even though I feel like the more people you follow, the less people you see.

Speaker 1 I see the same four insta stories of the same four people every day and like i it's not even like i i'm close to those people like it's just somehow they're my algorithm and like i don't know i just feel upset

Speaker 1 i feel like i follow all these people and i want to see more isn't it crazy how like facebook instagram and tick tock are so vastly different.

Speaker 1 Like you have to put yourself in, like I haven't gone on Facebook in years. I don't know what the vibe is over there, but I know it's like really scary.

Speaker 1 But like, you have to put yourself in, like, when I'm in TikTok comments, I'm like, she's fun. She's flirty.
She can like say whatever.

Speaker 1 Instagram comments are starting to get where I'm like, button up.

Speaker 1 Like, I want to say something snarky, but I'm like, are they going to get it? Where TikTok, I can like fully go. TikTok, you're like, was that crazy enough? My comment.

Speaker 1 Someone said the people that make TikToks are extroverts and the people that comment TikToks are introverts, but more often, funnier. That's

Speaker 1 interesting. I've never done drugs, but I feel like all the apps are just different types of drugs.
Yeah. So like, I think TikTok's Molly, MDMA, yeah, like I said.

Speaker 1 I got LACD. Yeah.
It's an opera. She's definitely an oper.
I feel like Instagram's cocaine. Yeah.
You're just like, this is the post. Yeah.
How many people are liking it? Did all my friends see yet?

Speaker 1 Talk to me. Like me.
Share me. Wait.
And

Speaker 1 Facebook is like a Viagra

Speaker 1 where you're like, okay, it's been 36 hours and we're still going. Stop posting about your tuna fish sandwich.
Yeah, it's like you couldn't naturally get here. Someone had to show you how to like

Speaker 1 get here.

Speaker 1 Anytime on Facebook, it's by accident. Like, I clicked the wrong time, like, I clicked on it and I got so scared.
Oh, God. And then,

Speaker 1 and then threads is.

Speaker 1 I don't ever click threads. Threads is a popper.

Speaker 1 100%.

Speaker 1 I have a question for the teachers.

Speaker 1 What a segue.

Speaker 1 It was natural. I thought it was natural.

Speaker 1 Are they still playing 7-up in school? I hope so. Or, like, was that a-is that a dead art? Was that lost with our generation?

Speaker 1 Because I saw this TikTok and it was like, things kids will never experience in school that you experienced.

Speaker 1 Remember when you had a textbook and you opened it up to see who had that textbook before you? Not a thing. There's just like dicks everywhere.
Go into the library. You have to take out a book.

Speaker 1 You see, like, everyone that took out that book. The smell of that, like, light manila thing in the back of it.
Like, it's not there anymore. So, there were just all these things.

Speaker 1 And then I was like, are they playing 7 Up Heads Up? Like, I need to know. I remember people cheated so much in that game, so I didn't like it.

Speaker 1 I think, I didn't think it was just because everyone was supposed to, right? I wanted, if we were. How are they cheating? They were like,

Speaker 1 there's integrity in this game.

Speaker 1 This is what we have to do. Because I wanted to compete.
And I said, if it was going to be a fair competition, I can't have people fucking looking and seeing you did it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So I didn't like 7-Up for that reason. However, it was a high that I haven't felt since.
No, there was a certain kind of high.

Speaker 1 I shut the lights and I was like, it's a clerk. No, when they turned the lights off, I was like, things are freaky.
There was a sexual under.

Speaker 1 There was a sexual undertone.

Speaker 1 There was. When they turned the lights off, it was like, if your crush picked you for 7-up, it was like, oh, he wanted to touch you.
I'm fucking over.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, wait, that's so true. Yeah.
Wait, but did you play with guys?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I played in middle school.

Speaker 1 See, since I had such long arms, I always felt like I was at an advantage for 7-up

Speaker 1 because I would pass you,

Speaker 1 then put my arm out and put like someone's fingers down. So it's like they already thought I had gone, you know? Kids these days will never experience rolling the TV when they roll.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they'll never experience that. They won't.
I wonder if this is going to sound messed up, but like, can Jen Alpha like write?

Speaker 1 Like, are they required to write in notebooks or is it just typing from day one? I don't know. Grace, how's your handwriting?

Speaker 1 Great.

Speaker 1 She's like, why are you catching straight? She's offended and appalled, actually, and speechless, I would say. Why are men so bad at handwriting?

Speaker 1 Let's not get into it because mine's so bad, and people are really gonna see when they get like the signed copies of how to giggle. It's kind of crazy.

Speaker 1 Your signature is not that bad, but my handwriting is not what you need.

Speaker 1 It's just so off-brand for me.

Speaker 1 You envision you having like full calligraphy, yeah. So, it's not, it's not.

Speaker 1 There are a few things that people like really assume about me, and I let them because it's better than what's reality, and that's one of them.

Speaker 1 That's none of your business, none of my business what you need. You think my handwriting is up in your head, yeah, Exactly.

Speaker 1 My handwriting is like fine.

Speaker 1 Like, it's not embarrassing. No, your handwriting's fine.
It's fine. But writing, I think, was therapeutic.
Also, hot take. I have had some days where I was off my phone the last couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And I was supposed to say that

Speaker 1 the world is. Your phone actually does cause depression.

Speaker 1 I thought. Fully.
I'm sorry, like I've had so many days that I end up spiraling because of like the littlest thing I saw on my phone. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, yeah, I could not look at my phone, but like whatever. But I've actually been off my phone and like, I feel a new,

Speaker 1 I feel just different. You know what's funny is like I haven't been on my phone either, like the past couple of days.
And there's nothing.

Speaker 1 We both have like seven hours of screen time.

Speaker 1 100%.

Speaker 1 There is nothing like not being on your phone and like truly not knowing what's going on on like the internet because you're just like literally with the people that you're with in real life.

Speaker 1 And then you get a text from from like two friends where you're like are you okay yep i hope like oh i don't know how you're dealing with all this it's so much yeah i'm like and you're like wait i'm fine i'm fine and like i was fine but actually what's everyone saying

Speaker 1 send me all the screenshots at first you do get fomo and i felt like i didn't know what was happening in the world but then you start feeling better than people you're like oh oh you're you're up on that i'm sorry i was living yeah i'm like sorry i was trying to stay off my phone the past couple of days what's going on but it is like and my voice changes to that.

Speaker 1 It is like sugar, though, where I feel like at first you're like feinging, you actually feel worse.

Speaker 1 You start like trying to focus and you can't focus in real life. You're like, what did people do? And my hands all shake because I'm like, check their profile.
Check their see what that one said.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And then you're just like, like, looking at the wall, staring at it, like, what's my purpose? But then after.

Speaker 1 I feel like I had less FOMO when I was off my phone and I started to just like feel better within myself. And like, I'm not a big comparison person.

Speaker 1 I think everyone compares online, but I'm surprised you have FOMO as much as you do because you don't really like going out. No, my FOMO was more like

Speaker 1 what's what's like going on in like in the news. And like, I want to know like every all the gossip.
Like, I like, yeah, like, what are like the niche TikTok references

Speaker 1 that are only happening this week? I want to know the jokes. I want to know what's like, I feel like I did say a TikTok reference the other day, and you're like,

Speaker 1 sorry, I don't know what you're talking about because I haven't been been on my phone. I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 But things are just like simpler when you're off your phone. No, it's a simpler time.
Like, I feel like I live. I'm literally ballerina farms when I don't go on my phone for two days.
I'm like,

Speaker 1 should I have a baseball team with children? I swear to God, I was off my phone and I was like, I think I have time to have a baby.

Speaker 1 And then I realized, like, I think

Speaker 1 it's the craziest things when we're not on our phone. I really was too busy to have a baby because I'm

Speaker 1 in so many mental, like jumping around and gymnastics on my phone all day. Yeah.
And then I stopped being on my phone and I was like, I literally could have a child.

Speaker 1 Mauricio has like Kyle. Kyle's guy had a bracelet stack.

Speaker 1 And it was... Of like stretchy, like Taylor Swift bracelets or like

Speaker 1 cardiac. I think it was a combination.
Just like a man wearing stacked bracelets and everyone was like, oof, he's going through something. Yeah.
Like this is a weird stage.

Speaker 1 I don't, men with too many accessories, like you're trying to distract me from something. I don't trust men who wear a lot of accessories at all.

Speaker 1 And like a stacked bracelet moment.

Speaker 1 What are Des's accessories of choice? Oh my God. Well, his first birthday, I almost bought him a watch.

Speaker 1 And I bought him this watch from like this.

Speaker 1 vintage place. Yeah.
They give it to me. There's no watch in it.
They just give me an empty box. And thank God I didn't leave the store, or they would have thought I just like stole a watch.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And then I wasn't able to get it for him. And I was like, I was going to get you a watch.
And I got him something else. And he was like, I've never worn a watch in my life.

Speaker 1 Why would you ever get me a watch? Wow, I'm not a watch guy. And I was like, I don't know.
Cause you're yeah, that's like you look like a watch guy. There's like four gifts you get men.

Speaker 1 It's a golf straw. A watch.

Speaker 1 He doesn't wear watches. He doesn't wear necklaces.
He really is bare bones. The man, he just wants like sporting equipment.
That's nice. He doesn't.
Oh my god, I bought him a wallet once.

Speaker 1 He was like, I don't need a wallet.

Speaker 1 Wait, where's he putting his stuff? Where's he putting his ID? I don't know.

Speaker 1 You never asked.

Speaker 1 It's just like, they don't even have nothing. And they just have it.
Which is like in his pocket. I think he might have a clip or something.

Speaker 1 My dad doesn't have... My dad raw dogs it.
Like, he just holds cash and a card. I don't even know if he holds an ID.
Clamshells? What is he using? What's he? How is he paying for things?

Speaker 1 Can I ask, what are cool girls doing for wallets? I have a card case.

Speaker 1 Oh yeah, you do. I have like a YSL card thing.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 What do you use? So I've actually had a comé des garçon. Oh yeah, like little like short wallet.
Eight years. Yeah, you've had that one.
It has a zipper because I don't trust anyone. Yeah.
Or myself.

Speaker 1 I used to have like a long like mom wallet. It's too big.
It's too big. It's too big.
So I have that.

Speaker 1 And I was just wondering, like, I think there's so many good, like, cute vintage wallets going around.

Speaker 1 You know what my assistant got me for Christmas that is

Speaker 1 adorable? She went to Japan, like, with her family, like over Christmas. She went to Japan to buy me something.

Speaker 1 And she went, did like, because obviously Japan has like the craziest vintage shopping. And she found this Louis Vuitton

Speaker 1 key holder that they don't even make anymore. They like stopped making them like in the 50s.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And so you like, it has like a little button and you like open it up and it has like a little chain and you like attach your keys to it and then you like snap it shut. Right cute.

Speaker 1 It's so freaking cute. So cute.
And so I bring that everywhere. I have that in my card case.
And that's actually like what's in my pocket right now. Do you remember when you were going out?

Speaker 1 and it was trendy to have those tiny bags and like we didn't know what to do and you were just like

Speaker 1 you like you just lose your phone. Yeah, are those little bags? They're not trending anymore, are they? Little bags are kind of like out.
Now it's like you need the biggest bag ever.

Speaker 1 Yeah, now you need to like put a huge leather bag in the middle of a table. Like a bohemian, and you have to carry it like this, like a smart child.

Speaker 1 And it has to look like it's been through hell and back. Yeah.
Which actually, honestly, it's more on brand for me. Anyway, Mauricia, I hope you're okay.

Speaker 1 So that's how we started that. Yeah.
I hate men within it with a bracelet situation like that. one time i i bought myself a tennis bracelet like because

Speaker 1 hello

Speaker 1 obviously and i was like dating a man at the time and he was like i want a tennis bracelet too and i was like

Speaker 1 oh my god chris do you have any accessories i have a watch and then in the summertime i'll i'll throw one bracelet on sometime wait explain it to me what about the summer makes it bracelet weather bracelet time dude

Speaker 1 one bracelet one bracelet doesn't no but why not the winter winter? I don't know. It just doesn't feel right.
Yeah, because they're wearing short sleeves and they're like, hey, we're having necessary.

Speaker 1 No, but this man wanted a diamond tennis bracelet. I almost threw off.
No. I was like, it's not

Speaker 1 for you. It's not for you at all.
I was like, cool, buy yourself one and me.

Speaker 1 Buy yourself one in my size. Thank you.
Okay, then get two. I also, I want to call out.
the New York Times.

Speaker 1 What do they do? What do they do now? Well, I love the New York Times. I get a lot of great emails from them.
But one, I just want all the gigglers. It's our mental health moment.

Speaker 1 Wait, did you feel like such an adult when you like subscribed to the New York Times? Oh, yeah. I was like, I know what's going on.
Like, I'm an adult. I pay taxes.

Speaker 1 Like, sometimes I'll get like emails and I forget that I'm like subscribed to like Business Insider. I'm like, what business do I have even being subscribed to this?

Speaker 1 I don't remember subscribing to anything, but I am. Yeah.
And I am Business Insider.

Speaker 1 I think that we all have to remember that no one knows what they're doing everything's smoke and mirrors uh-huh and everyone's talking out their ass and flailing yeah because the New York Times someone wrote this article like they were like really um onto something yeah they figured something out really passionate about it I swear to god this is the article

Speaker 1 chef recommends chips in sandwich like it was some groundbreaking discovery. I've been putting chips in my tuna fish sandwich since I was fucking six years old.
Since we were given sandwiches.

Speaker 1 And they literally, with this whole article, like, he highly recommends the texture and saltiness of the crisp. No shit, Sherlock.

Speaker 1 You ever had a turkey sandwich with a Dorito chip smack dab on there in the middle of a summer day? Hello? A cool ranch Dorito with the turkey.

Speaker 1 What's the hell? Like, and I at least like give credit where credit's due. It's us when we're six years old.

Speaker 1 Don't give it to this, this guy didn't have to go to France and work for a Michelin star restaurant to tell me chips taste good in a sandwich.

Speaker 1 You actually said something a little bit ago that people don't talk about enough. Chips on a tuna sandwich, much different than chips on any other sandwich.

Speaker 1 I would say it makes the whole tuna sandwich. 100%.
A homemade tuna. It has to be homemade.
Home tuna. Yes.
100%.

Speaker 1 I didn't think people ate sandwiches without chips in them. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's really hard to eat a sandwich. No chip.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's hard. It's kind of, it's like, okay, that's my side.
Yeah. Like, so I just don't have a side.
100%. But I really love that they were like, also, wait, let's play a game really quickly.

Speaker 1 I feel like you're similar.

Speaker 1 I feel like you're similar to me in this. Certain meals,

Speaker 1 i.e. like certain sandwiches, require certain drinks.

Speaker 1 And it's very specific on like what drink to what you're eating. I mean, there's definitely things that are illegal.
So, like, Chinese food, I'm going

Speaker 1 one, two, three. Soda.

Speaker 1 Okay. I don't drink soda.
Oh, right. I'm actually going ginger ale.
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 Turkey sandwich, one, two, three. Snaple.

Speaker 1 Gita, snapple. Snaplet.
Same thing. Juice is what I was going to say.
Okay, juice. Juice.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to think of a

Speaker 1 tuna. I can have a turkey sandwich and not have it as iced tea.
My mom, who's like a health buff, cannot have pizza without Coke.

Speaker 1 That was it. That's another really cool thing.

Speaker 1 Pizza, you need a Coke. Because the soda gets through

Speaker 1 the fatty ass. You just need it.
It's a scientific thing. You literally need it.
I don't know. Maybe I should read the New York Times to figure out.

Speaker 1 No, but I do have to say, the New York Times has incredible

Speaker 1 cooking. Like, the recipes are insane.
Really? Yeah. New York Times recipes, like, is people will be like...

Speaker 1 Fancy people will be like, oh, this is a salmon recipe from the New York Times. Like, it's very regal.
That's why when I saw a whole article about putting chips in a sandwich, I was like, who?

Speaker 1 What kind of layoffs did they have at the New York Times? Did you do your wedding in the New York Times? No, we chose not to.

Speaker 1 I think I'm going to throw mine in there. Yeah, and Vogue.
Yeah. I already planned out your whole wedding's PR tour.
I can't wait. I'm so excited.
What a fun time. What a fun time.

Speaker 1 You know, it's so funny to think about how different my bachelorette party is going to be than yours because, like, we're older now.

Speaker 1 But really, like, I should have had that type of bachelorette party and i'm probably gonna have one that you should have had like what if i'm like let's go to a farm upstate i was supposed to be the last of my friends to get married i know you were like my literal first i felt that in my heart of hearts but like i think i'm gonna say something i never thought i was gonna be the last i really every time we went around the group at the lunch table in high school no one ever picked me last also you're not the last none of our friends are married who are our friends honestly we have to stop comparing ourselves to Grace who's younger than us true works for us not our actual friends doesn't want to be our friend

Speaker 1 okay literally contractually obligated to be here right now

Speaker 1 you're not last

Speaker 1 no I'm literally kidding at you this is about perspective and I need to be last because I need to get up in the middle of the night and go on the couch and be by myself and once I work through that

Speaker 1 I also like thinking when I'm younger and we used to like hook up with guys guys and like like just stay. I don't know.
I it's when you're in your 30s, it's not staying over. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's like I'm not staying over.

Speaker 1 Roommates are there when you get out.

Speaker 1 Well, I would never do,

Speaker 1 well, come on. I have to put some respect in my fucking name.
You think I'm staying at places where people have roommates? Get grip, Hannah. Sorry.

Speaker 1 But also like the roommates were fun. It was part of the hang.
Like I've just come out, hang with us. It's totally part of the hang when you're like 26, 32.
It's a bit depressing. It's like,

Speaker 1 say bye to your roommate for me. Like, no.
You're like, Jeff. Don't give me that look, Jeff.
Your life sucks, Jeff. And your room is ugly.
I don't like the decor. No.
You don't even have a real light.

Speaker 1 No, it is funny. Like, even in my 20s, though, I didn't really, I don't feel like I slept out that much

Speaker 1 because.

Speaker 1 You know what's way worse than waking up in someone's apartment with roommates when he wakes up in your bed and won't leave? See,

Speaker 1 I rather that because I feel like I would, I'm, it's easier for me to like get you the fuck out than like, I hate waking up somewhere else and I'm like, and now I have to go home and wash my face.

Speaker 1 And like, see, I like being able to be like, bah, bitch, I'm out, then having to awkwardly wake him up or like he's chatting, chatting, chatting. And you're like, I don't.
I do that before.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm like, okay, this was great. See ya.

Speaker 1 Once I was talking to this guy who lived with his parents in Connecticut and I was unsure if his parents were rich or not not because Connecticut, there's many different towns.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so I wasn't sure yet. But anyway, he came to the city to like hang out.
And then we went back to my place, and it was like the middle of the day. And then, like, hooked up.

Speaker 1 And then he just was sitting there. And I was like, I have shit to go.
I was, and he was like, I'm just, you know, and you didn't have a TV in your room, so he wasn't watching TV.

Speaker 1 I wasn't watching TV. And I literally was like, I'm going to go to the gym.
And I left, went to the gym, came back. He's still there.

Speaker 1 Took a shower. And he was like, I have something in the city.
Like later tonight. Can I just like chill? I wonder if I was ever someone that like somebody had to get out.

Speaker 1 You know, like if we've ever wanted to stay anywhere, no, I really don't think I am. One time I hooked up with a guy.
I don't, this has nothing to do with it.

Speaker 1 I don't know why this just popped into my head.

Speaker 1 This is so off topic. One time I hooked up with a guy who had no sense of smell.

Speaker 1 When did he bring that up in conversation? The next morning. I was like, oh my God, I have to brush my teeth.
I'm so sorry. And he goes, doesn't matter.
I have no sense of smell.

Speaker 1 And I was like, what happened? That was it. I never saw him again.
Honestly, it had nothing to do with that. Actually, I would love to be with that man because I could just fart all the time.

Speaker 1 I literally also actually forget his name. This was so long ago.

Speaker 1 But I don't know why that just popped into my head because honestly, that was like a time where I was like, okay, I need, I want to go home. Do you know what's not fun about your 20s?

Speaker 1 Going to guys' places and them having something on TV that you have to watch and pretend you like.

Speaker 1 I have like a lot of memories of like hanging out with a bunch of guys who put on like the biggest thing.

Speaker 1 See, this is where, like, my like, I don't need to see this again, where my nervous, like, nervous. Chris is laughing because he just did that last night with someone.
Yeah, Brick Labowski. He's like,

Speaker 1 Like, there's so much. See, we grew up in an era, though, that like it was the office for like our age group.
Like, anywhere you go, it's like someone just put the office on.

Speaker 1 They love showing you something they like, and then you have to sit there and be like, Because I'm going to be fake. This is where, like, my nervousness and narcolepsy comes in play.
Like,

Speaker 1 I can fall asleep. I'm like, oh, I just remembered.
I don't want to be here. I'll fall asleep.
That's you literally severing yourself. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And like, I'm done with this trend.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm literally off.

Speaker 1 Do you know how many that, like, recollections I have of guys being like, are you still awake? And I'm like, no.

Speaker 1 Shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 How many guys are disappointed? They're like, She fell asleep at 7 p.m.

Speaker 1 We didn't do anything. I was just so comfortable with you.

Speaker 1 Get the fuck out of my house. I feel like, yeah, we have to go to like places in our mind to remember those like weird 20s scenarios.
No, I can't.

Speaker 1 But I was lucky where I had a lot of male roommates who were like really protective of me. So like, I don't know.
It was, it was harder.

Speaker 1 yeah they would just like look out for me i wasn't like yeah how wait how nice though like corey and dave literally raised me yeah like you never had like a moment in your apartment you're like oh my god like you know when you hear something you do think is someone gonna try is trying to break in like you had two men in your apartment every now and then i'd wake up and they're both fucking passed out on the ground with like okay well you're not deposited

Speaker 1 and i'm like you guys have jobs and i have to wake them up to make sure they don't get fired but regardless they definitely did cock block a little bit because people would think that i'm like with them But they would benefit from me because there's that whole like, if a girl sees another girl hanging out with guys, it's like animalistic where she thinks they're safer.

Speaker 1 So like because I was with them, girls would approach them more.

Speaker 1 Guys wouldn't approach me. But look think about your interactions.
Like I feel like 89% of the interactions are bad when you go out with men. So like I was able or more.

Speaker 1 And I was able to just like have them like

Speaker 1 I really don't think like men approach girls anymore like i just really don't think they do unless like

Speaker 1 unless someone knows someone like that i'm like sitting with it's not like some random guy is gonna come up to me like that hasn't happened to me in years does like i don't know if men do that anymore does has a really good joke where he's like you used to have to get rejected to your face yeah like you had to go up to girls i would have loved to lift them

Speaker 1 he's like you had to get the balls and then she would tell you her number and you had to remember it and like repeat it in your head over and over again.

Speaker 1 I'm like, I don't remember what the joke actually was, but something along the lines of like you'd ask a girl, like, would you say whatever?

Speaker 1 And she'd say no, and then you go to her friend and then you just like go down the line. But yeah, guys, now like it's all about the swiping.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like what I couldn't tell you the last time in person someone said, can I have your number?

Speaker 1 The only time it happened to me is like really weird, inappropriate places. Like I remember I was at like a bookstore and a guy like was like, can I have your number? I was at the grocery store.

Speaker 1 It was inappropriate. Inappropriate.

Speaker 1 I could see, like, in their head, they think it's romantic, but it was giving, like, a guy was just like walking around the bookstore, like, going up to women, being like, Can I have your number?

Speaker 1 And I'm like, I, I don't want to be here. Yeah, I don't know if you could actually approach me anywhere and me be like,

Speaker 1 yeah, sure, you can imagine. Any guy who's ever like just asked for my number, it's been a problem.
It's been a police report's been made. Okay, so then I'll just decline.
I think it's more like

Speaker 1 a guy starts up a conversation. I'd like to meet someone that lives in my building so I don't have to go anywhere, but everyone in my building is 104,

Speaker 1 which actually seems nice. Which actually

Speaker 1 stays open-minded. Yeah, stay open-minded.

Speaker 1 The only thing I'll give the gigglers to watch on, I believe it's HBO, there's this case about Karen Reed, which is about a girl who was dating a police officer in Boston.

Speaker 1 And she was drunk, and they got into like a little bit of a fight because he, they were going to after party.

Speaker 1 He went into the after party to meet all his cop friends and she was like waiting on him and he like wasn't responding to her. So she got pissed off and just left.

Speaker 1 And the next day it's reported that he's found dead in the snow. And immediately they said that she hit him with her car.
And she was like, was I drunk? Like I'm pretty sure he was not there.

Speaker 1 I don't know where this is coming from. And then they're trying to lean in to be like,

Speaker 1 was it the cops trying to frame her? Okay, real talk. Applying for a credit card can feel like dating.
You put yourself out there, hope for the best, and then boom, rejected.

Speaker 1 And your credit scores take a hit. No thank you.
