As you guys know, I partnered with DSW to curate the cutest spring shoe collection. Just fabulous.
It's just so freaking adorable. Okay, so I picked a bunch of flats, a bunch of fun heels, and a bunch of sneakers.
I tried to do an equal amount because I know that there are a lot of Hannahs, and I know that there are a lot of pages. Also, I mean, did you see the gifting? How freaking cute were all of those little boxes?

I was obsessed with them.

I loved the gold flats

because I just feel like I've been wearing flats

so much with like, honestly,

with like sweatpants, jeans, capris.

I just feel like they've been my go-to

for a little bit now.

And then I added a lot of really cute heels.

Honestly, I didn't even realize that I added a lot of really cute heels honestly I didn't even realize

that I added a lot of white heels which I think is perfect because I feel like there's always

girls getting married and having like all these different wedding things but I really tried to

think like what do you need for spring so there's obviously a lot of like neutrals with heels and

little kitten heels but I'm obsessed with them so take a look at dsw.com right now the collection

is live and I'm sure I'll be reposting everyone wearing them. Sup, gigglers.
Gary, fix your Wi-Fi. Manifest that shit.
We can't be managed. I mean, the day just got away from me.
Happy geriatric giggler birthday to Paige Sorbo. I'm officially having a geriatric.
I would officially be having a geriatric pregnancy. No, in my head you've been 32.
I didn't know you were 31. Because I'm a year older.
There's like two months where I'm like really a lot older than you and wiser but now we're back and then I catch up in November how are you feeling you just woke up Daphne's on your lap Daphne's on my lap she's grabbing at my microphone and my headphones and I'm just so blessed look at her why do you sound like a Mormon TikTok wife I feelok wife i feel so i'm holding my baby and i just feel

blessed i'm just happy to be here on this planet with my loved ones and god looking down on me no that's how i feel when i see daphne well like you're just a blessing i realized we never told people about some tour updates like some stuff we've been doing on tour we have some tour stuff wait before we get to tour stuff what should we do what are we doing I'm so scared right now wait it's such a ballot you ever just like you look at your friend and you're just like what what do we do what's the plan what's the plan of attack because i'm scared right now okay i just need to get this out because i feel like i'm the only one with this perspective and i just don't know why i'm so proud of the marathon runners i like I love that they have like a commitment to something. And like they're so much healthier than everyone else in the country.
And I'm so proud of them for running the marathon yesterday. Getting in a taxi from JFK to go to the Upper West Side on the Sunday of the marathon.
I wished that they all got shin splints. Like, I was cursing.
I couldn't have been more pissed the fuck off. I was like, what is she going to say? Okay, shin splints, good.
I forgot that it was marathon day, which I should have remembered because it literally is always right by my birthday surprise you know what shin splints are i mean i wish them upon everyone that ran yesterday how long did it take you to get home hannah i don't even want to talk about it i don't even know the route my guy was going and then like i was we were we took taxis from jfk because they were just like all lined up this guy like refused to talk to me too. I was like, let's figure out a plan here.
You're like, we're in this together. Let's get our heads together.
We're in this together. I called three different people in the back of his car.
He must have thought I was insane. Or you know when they get cocky and they like won't go on.
He wouldn't go on any apps. Any apps.
I was like, I get that we we're like fighting against uber and i'm like so with you in this fight for this moment you should have just hung out in my place we could have recorded the pod and then later on but it's fine i mean grace and i got home real quick because we're downtown divas no i mean it took me like another hour i would say to like get home i'm so sorry what happened when you walked in and Daphne saw you give us the play-by-play just like pure love and joy admiration affection because my baby when I see my baby it changes the world for me I love my baby and she's changed me I like to say I like to say that she saved me you know she taught me about what unconditional love is and I thought I knew but I didn't can I say something controversial yeah I would love it do you know when people have a kid and they go like this kid made me a better person I'm always like so you didn't want to be a good person until you had it that's fucking weird until you had a baby that you were like oh this baby looks at me and i should like question some things what were you doing before like pick pocketing people every day like what do you mean you know what's funny now is to think that like i mean i think about this all the time because we are on reality tv but like now kids will be able to go back and see like what their parents were like putting on tiktok when they were a baby and like do you know what's like my mental illness i'm like yes bitch you better see me do that crowd work that douchey guy up front you better be like that's my mama yeah and just like things that like their moms say about them i love that your your daughter's gonna be like wait my mom's outfits were so good unless she doesn't and then i have to put her up for adoption true unless i'm like go to your aunt hannah's play your stupid sports wait should i tell them how i got i got abducted basically but it was so early in the morning, I didn't know.

Yes, because then we need to tell the Minneapolis story.

Okay, so the thing with tour is the show is the most fun, easiest part.

The show is the easiest part of tour.

When we are on the stage with the gigglers, every worry and problem leaves the room.

It's this fucking incredible energy.

I can't explain.

Every second leading up to that is actual torture.

No.

Torture.

All we want to do is just get on stage.

So anyway, we have to wake up at fucking 430 a.m.

to get to Seattle in New York City.

And I get in the Uber.

And 10 minutes in, I look down at the app and I realize like he's never accepted the ride so I'm like oh hey like can you accept the ride like it's still dark out it's actually like prime sex trafficking time yeah so I'm but I'm like not you would think that I personally am like I don't feel like I'm sex trafficable like that's my own problems I'm just have you seen your ass you're sex trafficable okay they'd freaking love that thing okay wait I'm blushing stop I'm blushing so I basically was like sir can you accept it and he goes oh it's not letting me because he was like so far away from the pickup location that's where you said you would have jumped out of the car i would have been like and we're pulling over me i said if this is how i go this is how i go it's too early for me to fight for my life so i said that's fine he goes can you just cancel the ride and then venmo me and i said sir yes 100 because I'm not thinking of a solution here. And if I hope Lenore is listening to you and listening to this right now and drafting a text message to you as we speak.
The thing is, so basically I canceled the ride. And then I realized because it was like a pre reserved ride because I reserved the early ones.
It automatically charges you 100 bucks for canceling. now you're paying so now i'm in 200 before before 5 a.m i've spent 200 so it has to be some kind of record so i'm sitting there and i'm just like i have to speak up for myself like page does but not to that extent so i go sir um they charge me a hundred dollars um and he's like oh can you like question that this is during like a 50 minute drive to jfk so there's a lot of time for me to jump out if i wanted to right and i'm just like i'm not i'm honestly too tired to jump out of the car i don't want to so he just takes me away and i message uber like hey can i get a refund and they don't respond because it's 4 30 a.m and no one should be doing anything might as well sex trafficking people at 4 30 a.m so anyway the sleep schedule that sex traffickers much must be on is probably debilitating yeah like you guys are nocturnal so then i kind of just like went with it and then we got there and i think i actually was like so nice that afterwards he felt bad because then he was like hey like if you want i'll pay you back for the money like he wasn't being sleazy about it like he literally was like you can text me but then i was like you're a perfect example of like when you get into a situation like you go the nice route and you end up getting like a better outcome where i immediately switch and i'm like i will kill everything you love and care about if you continue to fuck with me i'll end up flirting myself into like a full relationship.
Like the niceness sometimes is not good. Yeah.
Like I still think about the day I told that woman to fuck off at LaGuardia and I'm and I relish in it and I love it and I hope she thinks about it. You know, no, my toxic trait is I feel like if we got kidnapped, I'd straight up be like, look, what's going on at home? Did I tell you like when guys would DM me For feet pics I would try to

Get to their psyche of like why they wanted feet pics like what like what does this do for you or he'd be like hey can I be your sugar daddy and I'd be like did your mom not hug you as a kid now listen to what happened to us in Minneapolis wasapolis was it minneapolis or indianapolis is there a difference i actually don't remember so let's just continue with one of the i'm pretty sure it was minneapolis and so like if anyone works at the airport in minneapolis listen up i think it was on our way home from indianapolis to new york oh yeah maybe you're right yeah Indianapolis shut up so we get to the airport again where it's early it's like what like 6 37 we're early at the airport so we get through tsa get through security we're walking to our gate hannah sees like a smaller delta lounge like a little literally looks like a little one room Delta lounge.

And we have 40 minutes till our flight.

And she's like,

let's just go in there.

We'll like get food,

go to the bathroom.

Cool.

I scan my boarding pass first.

I'm waiting for Hannah and Grace.

Hannah goes up.

She's like,

oh,

I have a plus one.

She's scanning her boarding pass.

The lady goes,

no,

this boarding pass has already been scanned in.

Hannah's like,

okay,

well,

I just got here.

So I don't know how that's possible.

Well,

Handle the word. She's scanning her boarding pass.
The lady goes, no, this boarding pass has already been scanned in. Hannah's like, okay, well, I just got here.
So I don't know how that's possible. Hannah looks at her boarding pass.
It says Paige DeSorbo. We're like, perfect.
Awesome. The lady's like, oh, you guys booked on the same reservation.
Your boarding pass has to be there. Just swipe and see.
Hannah's like, nope, don it not here i go first of all in the club we all fan so let me into the fucking club how did i get up to this point of i went through tsa and security and you're telling me i don't have a boarding pass wait this is actually a perfect example of you went so nice and i went this lady if this lady starts to give us attitude i'm gonna freak out because how is this our fault i know but in this moment i realize i have no grounds to speak on because i possibly don't i broke into this airport so i'm like can you just look her name up like and see what her confirmation number is or like can you see her ticket so they're like typing in Hannah's name and they're like sorry you don't have a ticket for this flight she she goes you actually don't exist you don't exist you don't have social security you're a ghost she's like you don't exist in indianapolis airport and so i immediately am like well how the fuck did she get through tsa and security because you know she because she's not that smart look at her i'm like that she doesn't have a ticket and they're like oh well they use your id when you go through tsa and i'm, there's no way in hell that you can get through security with your ID not having a ticket. And if that's the case, then what the fuck is the point of the TSA security? Like, you can just let anyone in if they have a valid ID.
Like, then why am I here taking my shoes off, bitch? When we're standing there, we have that like Spider-Man meme moment where like the Spider-Mams are shooting towards each other. And we're like, who's Paige Sorbo here? Who's really here? And I'm just looking at her.
So then I immediately. Wait, imagine if we like full on went into a bit and you were like, I'm Paige Sorbo.
She's still. They would have hated us.
No, but literally we actually actually had he's not with us anymore rest rest in travel um a travel agent who was out to get us was really out to get us and we don't know why but earlier that week he had booked like a random flight from madison hired someone who specializes in admin to only be annoyed by the admin that we should have just done ourselves so this is the thing we were driving from madison to milwaukee which takes an hour for some reason he had booked me a flight and i just was like grace i have a flight booked that's not supposed to be there can you tell him to cancel that and she's like sure when he canceled that flight it canceled like the entire reservation of flights he booked for me 87 flights it was like so fast forward the next week i had to go to seattle and i'm going to sleep at midnight because i have to wake up at 4 30 to get sex trafficked and i realized i don't have a flight to seattle i'm like and then i have to calm myself down get a flight oh flight. you didn't have a flight to Seattle.
I didn't even tell you that. Cause I want to stress you out.
Oh my God. The other, I would have stressed.
So anyway, the fact that we make it to any show is a miracle on 34th street. No, truly, truly a miracle.
Because here's the other thing though, that I just want to point out. Things happen to us that like are not our fault that like we did not it's not because we did something wrong it's literally like the universe is like how can we fuck with them today but that's the thing travel i wake up in the morning and i say i'm putting out fires where's the fire i'm gonna put it out i i don't ask what what the saying? I don't ask for fewer burdens I ask for broader shoulders I've never heard that saying Ever in my life But it does seem like it's in the Danny Burner Roller deck That is the Danny Burner roller deck I would say if there's something that sounds like your dad It's that I said it wrong but it.
My dad loves a quote. But that's it.
Does he? That's all. He'll just say something inspirational and leave.
And I'm like, that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. But thank you.
That's so funny. You're like talking about what's up for dinner with your mom.
And he just walks in and he's like. Believe in yourself.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. And he just walks in and he's like believe in yourself you miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take and he just walks out literally my dad and my mom is like what the fuck was that and i'm like i don't know you married him um also we realized that airplanes are airplanes are made by men for men airplanes are made by men for men and i'm quite frankly sick of it because like there's no reason that the overhead bin should be smaller on one side like what about the people on that side like i don't i don't accept that well now they have new seats which i was like oh cool new seats these are probably ergonomically like perfect for the the modern person made for men like it's too high It's too high.'s shoulders are up that high i also feel like it's not made for childbearing hips it's just not made with women in mind i'll say that i do have to tell on myself because one thing about me is ever since 2020 ish 2021 i don't look at comments unless it's on like my photo and i notice the gigglers are commenting and then i'm all in the comments but like in terms of like when a clip goes viral like i'm out like someone yeah or like someone else's thing of you you're not yeah no i don't look at it i also like when something goes viral you kind of like lose control so I post that well it doesn't belong to you anymore it doesn't belong to me it belongs to the internet yeah now I posted a new bit that I'm working on it's still being worked out about pilots and yeah the premise is like how men are delusional to think they could fly planes.

Like no woman would ever wake up and be like,

I can fly a plane.

Like,

and that's why there's more male pilots.

But then I go into joking how like we should have more women pilots,

but I go,

but for me personally,

and I joke,

like I would get lost.

I would say,

sorry all the time.

Whenever there was,

um,

you don't have a license.

I don't have a license. First thing.
I tell my dad to park it. I sometimes like to lean in on like women's stereotypes as a way to kind of like joke.
Like the patriarchy? Yes. It's like you're kind of leaning in and playing with it.
And you're not. If you're always like, no, women are perfect.
That's it's not the game we're playing. We're trying to show women are multifaceted.

Obviously, women are fucking amazing pilots, right?

But I'm joking about how I would say sorry all the time

whenever there's turbulence.

Those kind of things that like, it's a joke.

I'm not trying to be like, sorry, I got worked up.

It's a fucking joke.

It's a fucking joke.

It's a joke.

We're breathing.

We're breathing.

We're breathing.

We're growing.

We're learning.

We're learning. I'm sorry.
Women are not emotional. So we got on female pilot talk.
Tick tock. Because I started getting notified.
Female pilots are not happy with me. I like occasionally will accidentally see something where people are really mad at me the female pilot community is so mad at me and you know what's upsetting they're the only people i want to like me like a female pilot is the most powerful cool amazing person who's had to get through so many obstacles and had to believe in herself so much and also yeah so i have female pilots currently being like this bitch is the worst thing for women till i get you on my next flight bitch you think having the wrong boarding pass was the least of your problem so i'm so scared to fly right now but then i'm not i'm not commenting in it because obviously i want to be like, guys, this is, this is a joke.
Like it's women making fun of women. And, and I'm playing, like, it's not even a complete joke yet.
Like I'm figuring it out. I'm joking about how men are delusional.
Like it's a sensitive time. I know.
And I hate to just say it's a joke. Cause part of it's true.
But what I'm joking, I'm trying to, I guess I'm trying to figure it out right now with you the joke is that people could obviously women can be pilots yes it's people think that they're more humble than men in general yes that was the overall concept but i think it hurt people personally when i was like oh my dad will park it for me it's like obviously that's not true and i'm joking that people could think that because like that's what men would say years ago on why women can't be pilots anyway but you're just so intertwined you're just so highbrow is what it is and people don't realize how intellectual you are with your jokes because they're like it is just so funny because the only thing i care about is

like questioning the girls laugh yes and questioning gender roles and making men like feel bad so the fact that this has somehow hurt a woman pilot is really it's really upsetting for you but i can't fight for myself because i'm not getting into it because i also can't i don't want the female pilots are busy i don't want them fighting with me online like fly your planes and don't worry about my little jokes but i'm gonna finish that joke and i'm probably gonna have to add to the joke and say the female pilots are no we're just trying to call more attention to like how men are like really delusional like i'll tell a quick story about what craig said to me this week that really made me just question our humanity this man starts talking about like production value of like movies and different shows and like shots that he really likes and he's like you know I'm really into that like maybe one day I could do something like that like what is that job so first and foremost it's like you can't do something like that one day because you don't even know what the job is because you're asking me what that job is but I go along with this man because I like to you know build build them up only to tear them down swiftly so we go oh are you talking about a director or maybe you're talking about an executive producer in what in what genre are we thinking about Are we thinking scripted? Are we thinking reality? I love the beginning of the conversation when you're supportive. You go, I'm so supportive of photography.
So I'm really trying to get all the information in the beginning. To use it against him.
Yeah. And he says scripted and he, and I said, okay, so then I think you're thinking of like a director or like the person that owns the project and I said hey let me ask you a question what prompted this love of cinematography that you've all of the sudden feel in your in your body and he's and this man proceeded to say well I filmed a tiktok the other day I said, I'm sorry.
That is where I have to pack it in. Okay.
You filmed a singular talk. Okay.
And now all of a sudden you're the next James Cameron. I just don't get where the audacity.
Also, Craig, if you're listening, we all know that the first two years of tiktok you just talked about soup and you couldn't figure out you i don't know if you have figured out tiktok yet honestly no so i but again i love the confidence and we have to learn from that we have to learn from that it's the blind like audacity you know what the hardest thing is showing up that's what my dad would say yeah 90 of the battle is showing up and men will show up because they won't question things where we'll think they're not supposed to be there yeah we will think of every possible thing that could go wrong and how we're not supposed to be there and and how embarrassing it will be and then how we'll have to explain it to people and da da da da. Men will just be like, yeah.
No, that's why you almost got sex trafficked. A hundred percent.
The other morning. A hundred percent.

Wait. Let's talk about Martha.
Let's freaking talk about Martha Stewart. Okay.
So we watched a Martha documentary a while ago. I think it was Amazon or something.
It was fucking amazing. I made you guys watch it.
And then I text Paige. I go, you have to watch the Martha documentary on Netflix.
She goes, babe, I already saw a Martha documentary.

I go, I know, but I feel like this is her being interviewed in it.

So it gives it a different je ne sais quoi.

And Paige is like, I'll see.

Hour three into this flight back to New York,

I feel the longest little skinny fingers poked into my arm

because she was sitting behind me.

She's never done this to me on a flight. I thought I was with you on that flight i thought it was snakes on a plane i thought there was a snake on the plane and i was getting attacked i the way you jolted me like i don't think you realized imagine i've been literally asleep for three hours and then i get jolted okay from the window side something could have flown in a bird could have hit me from the window i kept looking to see if your head was lounging to see if you were sleeping or not i like missed you on that sometimes when we're together for too long and then we just go cold turkey i'm not with you i'm like um hello wait and before you say what you're gonna say they literally they literally go what story is there a doctor they go is there a doctor on board so immediately i'm like page do not raise your hand i'm like look i'm season 11 grace anatomy i don't i'm not trying to say i am a doctor but i'm not not a doctor no one thing about me i know when i'm not any help so like is there a doctor on board something was going on with someone they ended up being fine but in that moment i realized i started to think we did come from scottsdale that could have just been a very hungover person yeah because they literally gave i think it was a guy like an ivy which you asked for after you're like hey can i have some but i do think that in that moment i was like okay well either a a doctor's gonna help them or b we're gonna have to land a plane like with a stuffy nose on a flight he's like i literally need an ivy i can't breathe so i passed out i fell asleep page starts poking me i turn around like what and she goes first of all someone almost died i'm like did you hear that someone died and you were asleep the whole time but then you go i watched the martha documentary and i love her and then you go i'm saving it for the pot to tell you all my thoughts i'm just i'm just there's something about like perseverance like getting knocked down and then perseverance is one of you could not say perseverance just there no I couldn't is just a quality in people that I envy so much that I just think is so admirable and like once I see someone get knocked down and come back like tenfold I'm like even more obsessed with them she has had to reinvent herself so many times and and like people saying like she was the first influencer she was the

first person to be like lifestyle is what people want to see and like relate to and she starts this whole media company so many men were jealous she literally went to jail because a man was jealous of her same like it's so it's so diabolical she's the first female self-made billionaire in the united states which that alone i don't think gets talked about enough like that's it that's really impressive she was born into like a not wealthy family of six kids well even to when we're leading up to that she goes on wall street gets hired because she's beautiful ends up being so good at her job but gets like sexually harassed and like low-key assaulted throughout it but she's like that was just the time when you're back in a taxi with a guy he's gonna grab you and it's like that's just what she that was like in the 70s yeah she was like the only woman who worked at the company and then she creates this incredible catering company and she becomes this billionaire and then just she's catering for like some of the most exclusive events like in new york city yeah but the crazy thing is then you see the da basically be like we need to take down a billionaire so we're gonna take down this woman for it was like a trade for like 40 grand or something no it was literally like a stock for like 45 000 now the guy that actually was doing the bulk of the insider trading who was like knew that this stock was gonna plum plummet because like the fda didn't approve something the the da of new york city that little fuck says to this guy if you say like that martha was involved we won't prosecute you like we'll just put it all on her me so fucking mad think of the hundreds of men who are at these top companies ripping off people of like all kinds, right? All kinds. And they go for the one woman who's a self-made billionaire, but not these big companies that are fucking taking advantage of people every day doing illegal shit.
So anyway, she decides, basically they're like, if you say you're guilty, you don't have to go to jail and she's like i'd rather kill myself i'd literally rather die than it's like but i'm not guilty i didn't i didn't do this and then martha thrived in jail which people don't talk about in jail here's the other yeah yeah to say what she did in jail oh no she she just like connected with the other women she like really made great friends she was like she built a community garden like she she really leaned in and then she left she fully leaned she left wearing a homemade poncho shawl a poncho shawl that they had made in prison and she looked fucking amazing fabulous but then yeah her business fell apart because she yeah because she was the face of her business and obviously like she went to jail and it was in that time what was it like early 2000s and she lost even late hundreds of millions of dollars but i do have to say she said in an interview she lost a billion dollars i do have to say like all in all no one needs a billion dollars but granted a woman needs it no i like need it i do have to say a woman needs it but also like she's regardless without it she was able to keep her head up and for anyone i know like it's not that relatable to lose a billion dollars but like people don't try to take you down unless you're that girl wait i feel like she says that in the interview did she low-key say that because that's she low-key says like being taken down is main character energy and that's what i've realized is that you're a star like if you have like a really bright light i don't know if it was her or someone else like talking about her that if you have a really bright light it doesn't matter what you say or do people automatically hate you and they want to dim it and they want to dim it and they want to be like see she's not as great see she like lost everything like i was right she's like basically a piece of shit particularly men are trying to take you down you're doing something right 100 look in the mirror and say yes i'm going to continue what i'm doing the best part of the documentary was when she basically was talking about how her husband was cheating on her and they go didn't you make out with a guy in italy during her honeymoon and she was like first of all shut the fuck up how dare you second of all i was in a cathedral it was beautiful there was a beautiful man that doesn't count and she was like it was emotional we were looking at art like you're in italy like that's what you do when you're emotional you tongue a good looking man with a jawline and then they were she was like so he just had like countless affairs and they were like he said he had affairs because you had an affair and she goes again shut the fuck up i did meet one very handsome irish man and had it fling with him and i was like i literally texted des i go how long have you known martha for how long have you been involved with martha stewart how long have you been fucking martha stewart so we found des's second family no i she was like he my husband didn't know about that affair and it was like nothing it doesn't it didn't even count it wasn't even real it did seem like she was like he didn't know so keep your mouth quiet and then the interviewer was like he said he did know and she was like no no he didn't which i actually believe her like i believe that he like didn't know and he was just having affairs on his own what was fascinating about it is i do have to say the first documentary that she wasn't involved in she actually like it made her look better i love that the netflix one like she just sat down and she was not trying to be likable like she literally was just like this is what happened i don't want to talk about this yeah i fucked this guy yeah but she was just so um herself real yeah she was so herself do you remember about guys where she was like i haven't had a lot of close relationships because i don't care how men feel when they tell me about their feelings i'm like i don't care she was like she was like you want me to be like oh michael and how do you feel about that no i don't care and i was like thank you literally thank you i don't give a flying fuck how you care about that's what's so fucking fascinating about her is that her whole life is about being a homemaker and having this perfect family when like that's literally what she doesn't have right and that's like the dichotomy martha stewart that's so fascinating and what what makes her like the ultimate feminist kind of like me with the pilots but basically she talks about how you can be this homemaker while ultimately being a billionaire and actually not depending on a man to make you feel important or valued i think also one of the most interesting parts was like how the media just turned against her too and was like, she's a bitch, she's so mean. And like, she says things like, okay, but if I was a guy, like I own this billion dollar company, I want things to be right.
Like I'm just telling them because like this should be done correctly. And like part of me, I'm like, yeah, you have, you're employing all these people like you have this multi-million dollar thing here with like a magazine a tv show like a brand deal like yeah you need you need people to do their jobs and like if you're assertive you're automatically a bitch i mean not to try to figure out the whole why women get paid less than men but it's the overall concept that we are caretakers so like if a man sits down and is like give me more money they're like obviously because that man is the provider where when a woman's like i need more money they're like okay selfish cunt because we're just seen as these caretakers which is why day one when des was like you know do you want to do the dishes i was like i know martha stew Stewart might have done that for you I don't which is why when women have a baby the world sees them differently and when women have a baby it affects them yeah their job sees them differently their careers are different their husbands see them differently like so like when people are like oh I want to wait to have children because I'm like doing this career i'm like yeah because people like even if you say like oh it's different it's not people see you differently they treat you differently because they're like oh but you're a mom now and it's like okay honestly like i did low-key think of that i'm thinking that like when i have my kid i might like not literally not post them at.
Because you know how like people right now who aren't gigglers, like they don't even know I'm married. And like I like that.
Like I don't want I think after reality TV, I was perceived so much inaccurately that now I'm like I'd rather not be perceived at all by people who don't. Being perceived inaccurately.
I don't think people talk about enough how it's like a very violating feeling yes you feel dirty you feel dirty and you feel like so i can't imagine how martha stewart felt when like literally she was the number one most hated woman like in america for like a good chunk of time loki's so iconic iconic i kind of love it and then let's talk about what brought her back into like the forefront and relevant in pop culture literally laughing cracking fucking jokes giggling she was she was asked to go on the justin bieber roast and everyone thought like she she didn't realize that like they also make fun of you if you're performing at the roast and people were just making fun of her left and right and then she went so fucking hard in her roast i want to know who wrote that for her she walked so nikki glazer could run no literally she i mean it was crazy that was iconic but yeah it's so funny how laughter and not taking herself too seriously brought her back. And I swear to God, I don't know if it's because I'm a woman and I'm emotional, but I started crying when Snoop talks about meeting her and being like, she's a bad bitch.
Like she's been through shit and I respect her and how they connect, even though you think that they're from two different lives that have nothing to do with each other and he's like i respect well he said he was like i wanted to collab with her because i felt like she elevated me yeah like so that and i thought that was so nice of him to say because it was like he or she was like so hated she went to jail like she wasn't on the top of her game the way she like was years ago and he was like she elevates when she made a joke about shanking someone and then explaining how she made the shank it was so fucking i know i wonder which writers helped her um shout out to the comics behind the scene making that no they literally brought her back from the dead so anyway watch martha on netflix it's really really really good also some pop culture news speaking of hot irish men did you see liam neeson and pamela anderson are like falling in love or something wait see this golden bachelor shit is what i am into no it's it's getting like a little bit crazy i'm he was like i'm in love with her i'm obsessed with this you know i love an older irish man who hadn't found love is he irish he's irish and i think he he's a widow so it's yeah he would yeah i'm obsessed married to the mom and parent trap oh and she's the one who had the accident yeah she died in a skiing accident she like hit her head and then went to take a nap and never freaking woke up that's why i don't go skiing no it's it's actually devastating that death is still devastating to me and i think it was like almost 15 years ago i know it shook everyone and i know that this is a pattern though i love people who you think like oh pamela like had the love of her life and she lost it and she'll always love him and this sad sob story.

If you haven't tried it, it's, and if you haven't heard of Caudalie, then listen up.
The Vino Perfect Serum is 62 times more effective than vitamin C to bright and even your skin tone. It truly is like, I don't know what is in this bottle, but it's sold globally every 15 seconds.
So you guys have have to catch on it's clinically proven to visibly reduce dark spots by 63 after just one bottle and effective on all types of dark spots caused by the sun acne and pregnancy you guys really do have to try it it's i've been using it for oh my gosh i don't even know how long probably like seven years now it's one of the best products I've ever used Codaly is available at Sephora and codaly.com when we landed in Arizona we had about four hours before the show I said perfect I'm gonna watch the Meg the Stallion documentary on Amazon do you know the drama the tour I do know the Tori lane's drama i didn't know it to the extent i just was like oh she got shot and i hope she's okay meg the stallion talk about men coming for her no this man it came for her this little hobbit he's five three yeah no i'll put him in my pocket squish him he's five three um and that's besides the point but you know what that means it means we're scared but it's also extremely relevant extremely extremely relevant now she she blew up in my orbit during tiktok you know she's blowing up wop we dance to that every single day she has a Beyonce Savage collab you think this woman is you know probably on top of the world her mom had just passed away and her mom was this amazing like rapper she had a job but that night she would just like write rhymes and like her mom was this incredibly talented rapper but never like made it and then meg starts to rap and her mom's like you're a star and her mom basically helps her like her mom saw her like not break through but like do pretty well i think she might like want to be t award or something by that point and then the mom has a freak like medical thing happen like seizure. And the mom dies when she's like 19 or 20.
And her mom was her everything. And her dad had died earlier.
So she's an orphan. She's an orphan.
And then all these great things start to happen to her career. And then, but I think because her mom wasn't there, she starts drinking and hanging out out the wrong people.
And people are fucking leeches sometimes. And there was drama.
I think her and her best friend were both hooking up with Tory Lanez to an extent. They get in a fight in a car.
He shoots her in the foot. It's just like it's not funny.
It's absolutely not funny. but it's also like what like how the fuck does that even transpire that's why everyone was like this is so weird but and she says in that moment like this was during blm and she's like if i like accuse him of hurting me like he could get killed and she just was like i don't want to fuck with the cops i just want everyone to be okay i'm glad i'm alive bring me to the hospital right but then it starts coming out that people are like she lied she this she that and then he comes out being like she's a liar because eventually she has to be like well he would he did shoot me and like he can't go around shooting people right so the whole internet turns on her and calls her a liar says she's like trying to take him down he's going around being like she's a liar i just want to say that i never turned on her i never didn't believe her well then she was having to defend herself like well were you hooking up with him what was your relationship and it's like it doesn't fucking matter you can't shoot someone literally was married to him you can't shoot someone yeah so it took years and it's following her she does snl she hosts and performs on snl this is like everyone like if you're a performer that's your fucking dream yeah three weeks later she checks herself into a mental health retreat no that's literally me after a giggly squad after traveling to giggly squad i'm like i have to perform giggly squad and then go to mirrorball so she's it's so crazy you you people could be so envious of someone's success but they're battling like demons you've no fucking clue about and then she wins the court case and they show it all they show the moment that she finds out that he's guilty and still people hate on her um because they think she like because she took down a man and it's like guys don't shoot people for no reason at least have a reason like the menendez brothers no i'm just kidding no oh god no literally so justice for megan the stallion justice for megan the stallion it is it is so sad that there are so many different stories of people being at like the pinnacle of their success like the peak of success and they're just so unhappy.
Yeah, but it's also there's so many women who were taken advantage of but thankfully like meg had the money to fight this guy yeah but i mean like i've had i've had men in comedy if he wasn't if she wasn't famous and he just did this to some like random girl like the outcome would have been completely different not to turn it to stand up but like a lot of men because it's a little bit of a boys club will yeah for whatever reason they hook up with a girl or they don't like something a girl did and they'll tell all their friends not to book that girl and next thing you know you're like why aren't there more females or women in stand-up and it's like oh because they got blackballed early on because they gave a handjob to the wrong guy that's so i just saw a meme that was like you literally never hear girls say oh my crazy ex-boyfriend you only ever hear guys say oh that's my crazy ex-girlfriend yeah someone commented and was like, because they don't make it out alive, which was like a little bit dark. I know, that's so funny.
I was like, okay, well, that's taken up a little. Wait, that's actually so valid.
But not to like be spilling fucking tea on Giggly Squad, but like I was blackballed by a male comic, but I was lucky because I had an agency and I had followers in the beginning and I I was able to push. But if you were just starting out.

If I was just starting off with no followers.

You would have a different job right now.

I would have a job because of a dude.

So anyway, keep that in mind.

Addison Rae. I'm obsessed with her.
I think Aquamarine, another hit. I think she's doing fucking amazing.
Again, someone who people were totally disrespectful of and she just kept working. I think she's amazing.
One note. One note note because we're allowed to be critical of women yes small note stop with the cigarettes you know that's a very interesting thing that i feel like gen z is doing that like no one's commenting now if as a millennial if i ever posted like an instagram picture like a couple years ago holding a cigarette in my hand i'd be eviscerated eviscerated i think it's one of the generational things where like the generation before us fought so hard to like stop people from smoking cigarettes and then it's like the the next generation like forgets and they're like wait that was cool why did we stop and it's like yeah so i just want to remind people killed a lot of people i hate to be the mom of the group yeah i it's not young little girls are watching it it's not cool well she did like the two cigarettes in her mouth and it's like i get it it's art let's not we can do other art let's do other art i agree and i'm saying addison ray i think is gonna be like one of the biggest pop stars of our generation.
Like, I really love her and I want her to be huge. And this is just a warning.
We don't need cigarettes. Especially because I feel like Gen Z, I will give them their flowers when it comes to like drinking culture.
I feel like they have like kind of changed like the partying aspect of like being in your 20s. But the cigarette part is like a little mind-blowing yeah because it's like you guys want to be environmentally friendly but you're smoking cigs yeah like take a shot of tequila instead then i feel like it's as bad as a cow fart for the environment i mean i don't know about the environment did you see kamala just said she's gonna legalize recreational marijuana thank you finally we didn't even address the halloween show oh my god we didn't the halloween show here's one thing about your birthday though like i didn't ask for birthday admin to respond to everyone no i actually still i responded like when i had a netflix special when i was on fallon when i responded to all those texts birthday texts i'm like this isn't you guys i didn't i don't deserve this it's fine it's like please don't do this to me right now but low-key if someone doesn't are you gonna clock it for sure i'm like they didn't wish me happy birthday what's your ideal way for someone to respond to your birthday who's like in your friend group what do you want them to hbd hbd would you rather them not text you and do like an instagram you have to story don't give a fuck about an instagram story interesting interesting because i've had some people be like you better post an instagram about me yeah I think that's weird I think if people are like you didn't post an Instagram story for my birthday you're a freak I agree like just send a text because also people will do it and pick the ugliest photo of you and you're like that was for you that wasn't for me yeah it's also like I don't then you've just given me repost admin i don't want to have to

repost to this oh so you're also thinking aesthetically you're not going to have a crazy repost in the story i don't think so unless if people post really cute photos of you yeah and like if daphne's in some of them then like repost or if it's like a video montage yeah like i died you were the best but you were the worst that's really good

people are
