Giggling about our book, weddings, and we ride at dawn!!!

Speaker 1 Hey, it's Paige DeSorbo from Giggly Squad. Head home for the holidays with Abercrombie and Fitch.

Speaker 1 We all know our calendars are about to get chaotic for non-stop plans, and Abercrombie has the pieces to curate your perfect seasonal wardrobe.

Speaker 1 Sweaters and denim for casual plans, party dresses for nights out, and comfy matching sets for everything in between. Keep the chaos cute this season in Abercrombie.

Speaker 1 Shop their new holiday outfits in the app, online, or in stores.

Speaker 1 So I recently had one of those moments where I stood in front of my closet and I said, I have nothing to wear, while surrounded by hundreds of things I never touch.

Speaker 1 So I started listing them on Depop, and honestly, it's amazing. You can sell the pieces you're over and someone out there will be obsessed with them.
And the best part, there's no seller fees, none.

Speaker 1 So the money you make actually stays in your pocket, which feels very chic. Plus, it's so easy.
I listed something while watching TV and it sold before the episode even ended.

Speaker 1 Depop isn't just one aesthetic either, it's all of them. Minimal, streetwear, date night, whatever your vibe is, there's someone who shares it.

Speaker 1 So, download the Depop app and list your first item today because your old outfit might be someone else's new favorite.

Speaker 1 And don't forget to tune in to our latest bonus episode, where Hannah and I will take calls from the Giggly Squad Style Hotline.

Speaker 1 We're helping solve your fashion dilemmas, shopping woes, and style questions. Submit yours now at gigglystylehotline.com for a chance to get your question answered by us on the show.

Speaker 1 Depop, where taste recognizes taste.

Speaker 2 Sup, gigglers, Gary, fix your Wi-Fi.

Speaker 3 Manifest that shit.

Speaker 1 We can't be managed.

Speaker 2 I mean, the day just got away from me.

Speaker 3 Hello. We ride at gone, gigglers.
I don't know what that meant. I was jack.
Okay.

Speaker 3 I'm announcing officially right now 3 a.m.

Speaker 1 Talk about bad admin.

Speaker 1 We're announcing a bunch of things.

Speaker 3 We're doing housekeeping right right now we're announcing we haven't announced anything on the pod and people were like hey can you say it and we were like okay so my netflix special is coming out 3 a.m tuesday east coast time midnight la time i'm gonna stay up till 3 a.m because if i did it for bridgerton i have to do it for you wait that's the nicest thing you've ever done for me

Speaker 3 also

Speaker 3 if you live in between la and new york we don't know figure it out do the math

Speaker 3 mount you want us to know mountain time in what world i just economy i just in an election year i just found out there was mountain time two years ago i thought it was a bit yeah i thought we were kidding i didn't so anyway that's happening we write at dawn you guys i love you all so much it's literally just because of the gigglers that this even happened to me and apparently apparently all netflix cares about is retention rate which means like put it on and make sure it ends till the end if you love me a lot and if i've ever made you giggle once with paid if page has even ever made you giggle can we keep it what if we just

Speaker 3 know if it does the loop, but I would say go to your parents' place, turn on We Ride at Dawn, put it on mute if they don't like standing up.

Speaker 1 I wonder from the same account if I just keep playing it. Let it play.

Speaker 3 If it will go to your ex-boyfriend's house, put it on play, hide the remote, throw it into the garden. If you have a garden, if you don't have a game.

Speaker 1 If you have anyone else's Netflix password, log in, add it to my list up next.

Speaker 3 Yes, yes, add it to the up next.

Speaker 3 This is the moment we've all been waiting for my whole life. It's like it's no pressure, but like it's all about it.

Speaker 1 It's all boiled down to this.

Speaker 3 It's all boiled down to this. Like, this is make or break.

Speaker 1 I feel good. I'm not worried because I did my job.
I'm in charge of looks

Speaker 1 and I did my job. So if it fails, that's on you.

Speaker 3 This is our conversation before every live Giggly Squad show. She goes, I'm good because I look really good.
And the gigglers are going to like my outfit. They're going to be fine.

Speaker 1 Like one time we almost didn't have microphones and I was like, what are we worrying about?

Speaker 3 She goes, we're fine. I'm wearing a Pepla.
What are we worried about what's the concern um so we write at dawn and when i say we i mean us i mean you guys i love you so much number two

Speaker 3 sorry we wrote a book sorry we wrote a book um it was one of the easiest things to keep from you guys because in what world got a single person in a message that i saw said book.

Speaker 3 I got a couple, but they weren't confident about it. They were like, is it a book?

Speaker 3 No, no, no, no, no, no. It couldn't be.

Speaker 1 And we're just as baffled as you.

Speaker 3 And there was a couple, like, is this going to be an audiobook? Obviously.

Speaker 1 Hannah did say, I feel like we can go down a chapter because we do want a lot of pictures. And the publisher said, not how it works.

Speaker 1 And we fought for it.

Speaker 3 We need to explain the book. Because I feel like the gigglers were blindsided.
They don't know how to process it. Let's start from day one.
We were approached by Simon and Schuster.

Speaker 3 Again, we thought it was a bit.

Speaker 1 I thought they got the wrong email. I was like, this has a fake Simon and Schuster.

Speaker 3 Also, you responded like fully misspelling every word.

Speaker 3 I'm like clear this girl doesn't know how to write right it's not it's not for me and they didn't even offer us a coffee table book like they were like you're writing a book yeah and it's funny because I think subconsciously we were like we want a novel yeah that also cosplays as a coffee table book well I went into it and I was like surely They'll give us a ghostwriter because everyone that I personally know that has written books and it's not a lot of people but like any

Speaker 1 TV personality people that have written books, like you can see on the cover, like ghostwritten by, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 And they're like, oh, it's like you just tell them all your thoughts, and then they put it into like a nice format. And Simon ⁇ Schuster was like, no.

Speaker 1 You're not, we're not giving you one. You don't get one.
So I went to sheer panic mode.

Speaker 3 I think they said, we will give you a ghostwriter, but like. You have a challenge.
I love a challenge. And also, the ghostwriter is not going to be our voice.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's not because it's some random random

Speaker 3 guy named Steve.

Speaker 1 Yeah, isn't getting the vibe of the gigglers.

Speaker 3 No, and we couldn't risk that. And also, I do have to say, I do love to write.
Like, stand-up is all writing.

Speaker 1 No, Hannah wrote the whole book in one weekend.

Speaker 1 We literally were assigned different chapters. And then Monday, she was just like, oh, I realize that you're stupid.
And I did it.

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 3 I assigned you things and you nailed what you were assigned.

Speaker 1 That's true. I missed just a few deadlines.
They did have to rework the whole schedule at one point.

Speaker 3 Let's say this took over a year.

Speaker 3 This was our blood, sweat, and tears of we wrote this fucking book. And we're so proud of it.

Speaker 3 It's a guide. To giggling.
To giggling. It's how to take life less seriously.

Speaker 3 It's all these, it's stories of our life, but also just like opinions.

Speaker 3 Anything from this.

Speaker 1 It's a lot of vibes. Vibes.
That's a lot of, my favorite comment was people saying, so Grace wrote a book. And we were like, yes.

Speaker 3 So to give credit where credit is due, when I was younger, we all know, my dad was tough on me with tennis. Why am I bringing this up so early in the pod?

Speaker 3 But then you'd think, well, at least school, you weren't. Nope, my mom was very firm with school.
Where like I'd write an essay and she'd have to read it beforehand because she's a teacher.

Speaker 3 And she would take a big red pen. Oh my God.
Aggressive, right? And she would just be like Xing things, writing

Speaker 3 question marks, which is the most. Question marks are so passive-aggressive.
The most passive-aggressive cunty thing to do is put a question. mark.
What do you mean? You know what it says?

Speaker 1 When a teacher would write, what did you mean here?

Speaker 3 Question mark, my mud would blow. It's foil.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I'm like, oh, really? Because my mom's about to.

Speaker 3 Hold my fucking hoops because I'm just an idiot. You don't have to put a question mark.
So she would give back to me and I have to rewrite it.

Speaker 3 So my mom was basically like, you guys write the book and I will make sure that there's no like grammatical errors, that it makes sense. And my mom asked me to say that.

Speaker 1 I got a lot of, don't know what you mean here, Paige.

Speaker 1 Got it. Thank you.
I will read you that.

Speaker 3 Not to completely call you out. I think that you would get high.
Surely. And forget which the beginning of the sentence was.
Probably.

Speaker 3 Or like you'd write it sober and then start getting more high. Yeah.
So my mom was navigating your artistic mind.

Speaker 1 And my process.

Speaker 3 And your pulses.

Speaker 1 And we don't question your pulses. And I would never say to Lenore that I was on a bunch of edibles when I wrote that.
specific thing.

Speaker 3 Lenore is too pure for that.

Speaker 1 I would never say that to her. And I just said, sorry, I'll take care of it.

Speaker 3 And then we had Grace, you know, in the weeds as well. It was all hands on deck.
But then the most exciting time came, which was the cover.

Speaker 2 What would the cover be?

Speaker 1 And I know what you're thinking.

Speaker 1 You guys are so creative. What was your inspo? Rainbow Fish was part of our inspo.

Speaker 1 Hannah found this random picture of the Mona Lisa in a sepia filter, and that was also our inspo.

Speaker 3 So this is where I have to apologize to the Academy, because there was a point where I said, Paige, I'll write the book. Can you handle the cover? Yep.

Speaker 3 And not to say I'm a control freak, but I get excited when I get creatively like inspired. So of course I run it by Paige and I'm like, look at this Mona Lisa.

Speaker 3 And over her mouth was like a collage cut out of like a different mouth. And I said, Paige, it's like a serious thing, but then a smiling, like giggling, I said, I ran it past.

Speaker 3 the important people, which is you. And you said, let's do this.
Yes.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 1 we do an entire photo shoot. We get our our looks.
Everyone at the photo shoots like, you're nailing it.

Speaker 3 Yes, nail though. It's going to be perfect.

Speaker 1 We get the vision. We know exactly what you guys are going for.

Speaker 3 And I'm also being like, so like, we got this.

Speaker 1 I'm so, I've never been more confident. I'm like, it's so different.
It's crazy. It's so new.
No one's ever seen it before. It's iconic.
A couple days later, we get a very humbling email.

Speaker 1 We get a very humbling email of four renditions of the cover. Now, when I tell you one was worse than the other, I thought it was a bit.
I said, no one sent this email being serious.

Speaker 3 No, but it was in that they were like, we like three the best, maybe four. Let us know your notes.
Paige immediately responded.

Speaker 1 I went.

Speaker 1 This is where it's bad that I forget that I'm dealing with like professional publishers, writers, editors. These people are real humans.
I emailed back and said, absolutely not.

Speaker 3 You were not that turt. I said, is that the word tort? Kurt.
You weren't that Kurt. Is that the word? I think I said...

Speaker 1 I think you're making up words.

Speaker 3 You weren't that. Kurt? Who the fuck is Kurt?

Speaker 1 Who is Kurt? What are you trying to say?

Speaker 3 You're not.

Speaker 3 You weren't that quick and mean. Like,

Speaker 3 Kurt. Kurt? Don't you ever gaslight me on my own podcast.

Speaker 1 K-U-R-T.

Speaker 3 C-U-R-T. Oh, you look like that.
Okay, that's short for Curtis. So I don't know what the fuck you guys are talking about.

Speaker 1 Never in my life. No, what did I say back? I felt...
Do you want me to read it? Okay, then here's the worst part. Wait.

Speaker 1 So So then Hannah finds this artist on Instagram who like literally did the exact type of cover that we wanted like in her art.

Speaker 3 Wait, can I write what your response is? She goes, hi.

Speaker 3 Exclamation mark with a bunch of eyes. So you know shit's about to go down.
Yep. I'm sorry.
I'm going to be so honest. Kama.
I actually don't like any of them at all, period. I hate the coloring.

Speaker 3 The pictures aren't lined up at all and we actually look scary. So that was actually so polite.

Speaker 1 That's a great because in my head I was like, are you guys fucking stupid?

Speaker 3 When I tell you this cover made Paige DeSorbo look ugly.

Speaker 1 No, I could. Hannah keeps texting it to me just randomly throughout the day.
A Tuesday at 1 p.m. I'll just get a text from her with this cover photo.
And it's a very good thing.

Speaker 3 I do have to say the professional people who have worked to get to this point in their life to create. that first draft, it was not their fault.
I do have to say it was fully my fault.

Speaker 3 I had a vision and it didn't work. I looked, I had the hills of eyes because we had like serious eyes with like a smile on it and it wasn't matching.
No, it's not.

Speaker 1 We're going to put it in the newsletter.

Speaker 3 We're going to put it in the newsletter.

Speaker 1 Hannah wants to put it on Instagram, but honestly, I'm fearful because I.

Speaker 3 You don't want it living on the Instagram.

Speaker 1 I don't want my enemies getting a hold of this photo.

Speaker 3 Because what happened is this weekend, my friends saw the cover and they were like complimenting it so much. And I was like, I got to tell you the T of this cover.

Speaker 3 Because also, they weren't just like, let's figure out a cover. They were like, we did a whole photo shoot and this is due in like four days.
Yeah. And they were like, so you have to pick one.

Speaker 3 We start dying laughing though. Like we were not mad.
We were laughing so hard that I actually,

Speaker 3 I, it, it was a great memory.

Speaker 1 It honestly was a great memory. Like I, I'll never forget that first cover.

Speaker 3 I laughed so guttural laughs and that's, and that's what the book's about. Idiotic.
Isn't it beautiful?

Speaker 3 Take life less seriously. Because we could have cried.
We could have cried. We could have penetrated.
We could have been angry. We could have sued.

Speaker 1 But we were just now we just... Now it's my profile picture in your phone.

Speaker 3 Now, the thing is, I really do feel like it was my fault because I pushed everyone towards this like hard creative vision. So, I think I follow this random girl

Speaker 3 labyrinth of collages. If I like something that's like artistic, I follow it.
I think it enhances my energy. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And I was like, let's just message this girl. It'll be easy.
Of course, she lives in Australia.

Speaker 1 No, the time difference was insane. Talk about admin.
She was like, I can get on the phone at like 14 hours ahead. I'm like, what is going on?

Speaker 3 And she doesn't realize like we are to the wire. Like, this is a panic move.
This is like our last chance to get this cover right.

Speaker 1 Thankfully, the cover artist pulled through like

Speaker 1 beyond. She gave us so many different options.
We like added things, took things away, like formed them together, and then we got the cover that we have. And did you get the mock-up sent to you? Yep.

Speaker 1 Did you?

Speaker 3 Yeah. Did you get emotional? I did.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I got, you know what? In true giggly squad fashion, I got emotional because I was so happy.

Speaker 1 And then I felt, wow, what revenge to all my teachers that said I would never be able to read or do anything in

Speaker 3 an intellectual capacity i almost texted your mom to be like aren't you proud of that daughter that you really thought couldn't put two words together

Speaker 3 really proud of the daughter that you thought had speech impediment growing up and look at her now

Speaker 3 but i do think it's a great example of like when you see someone or anything accomplish something it really is just the tip of that iceberg and the bottom is like so many failures and confusion trying to get there so keep failing up because you might publish a a book one day.

Speaker 1 No, we've manifested all of those.

Speaker 3 It's crazy. And I do think for the gigglers, like we're in this weird energy where gigglers hit me up that they're manifesting shit for their own lives too.

Speaker 3 So I'm starting to think this is a witch podcast.

Speaker 1 We've literally started a religion and it's scary.

Speaker 3 It's scary, but like we don't even get text like breaks on it. But it's fun.

Speaker 3 I feel like we haven't been here in weeks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 Because we haven't.

Speaker 1 And we never take, I can't remember the last time we took a week off.

Speaker 3 We never take a week off. We wouldn't need to let you guys, I know I've been taking the blame for a lot of, I'm not taking the blame on this.
No. The people at power of podcasting over whatever.
Yep.

Speaker 3 We're like, you guys contractually need to take a week off. Yeah.
Like, you've, you don't take any weeks off. Can you take a week off? And we were scared.

Speaker 1 We were scared. Hannah texted me and was like, should we just record anyway? I didn't respond because I was like, shut up, bitch.

Speaker 3 We were worried about the gigglers' mental health. We were worried about our own mental health.

Speaker 1 I feel like there's so many things.

Speaker 3 If you don't have a podcast, who are you spewing all of your nonsense to? 100%.

Speaker 1 Like, I had so many things come up that I was like,

Speaker 3 this is a gripe. What do you do with yourself? Here's another gripe.
What do you do? Just tell it to your friend and not

Speaker 3 giggly squad? That's insane.

Speaker 1 No, and because gigglers give us such positive reinforcement back, like that we're not crazy. But it's like I realize that we're all just crazy together.

Speaker 3 Side note.

Speaker 1 The gigglers get it.

Speaker 3 One thing about Grace, who's back in action. Thank you for the prayers.

Speaker 1 We're like back to regularly scheduled programmers.

Speaker 3 For sure. And you're back in America.

Speaker 1 Thank God.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 you know that it was Grace's birthday sometime over the last couple weeks, but she hid it from us. Like I had to see like a friend of a friend tag her that it was her birthday.

Speaker 3 And I was like, I texted her and I was like, is it your birthday? And she was like, LOL. And I was like, how did we find the one person who hates attention so much?

Speaker 1 Wait, when was your birthday? The 15th of June.

Speaker 3 The 15th of June.

Speaker 3 What the fuck? She didn't want us to know.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 3 We were sending her smoothies during that time. So that does kind of count as a gift.
But like, how funny is it that she

Speaker 3 did her birthday?

Speaker 1 She was telling everyone that it was your birthday.

Speaker 3 Even if I like, someone was like, gun to your head, don't tell people it's your birthday, I'd be like, I'd last three minutes. Yeah.
And then I'd be like.

Speaker 1 Do you remember like going about your normal day? Like, yeah, like when it's your birthday, like you go and do your normal routine. Like, okay, going and get a coffee.

Speaker 1 And like, there's an urge for you to say, like, oh, also, it's my birthday.

Speaker 3 You feel like you're lying to someone if you don't tell them it's your birthday you don't realize how special this day is and you get to talk to me right now because it's my birthday also they're looking at you and i'm like i can tell that he knows it's my birthday and i should just confirm that the glow and aura i'm giving off his birthday i can't believe you didn't say anything but like i feel like that's why we all get along so well because grace would rather literally i don't know yeah anything i actually don't really love my birthday either i'm not a huge well you're 31 no one cares about birthdays anymore that's true I had to bring it up.

Speaker 3 Haley, who came over, she was like, It's my birthday. And I was like, What's what age? She goes, 31.
I go, Nobody cares.

Speaker 1 Nobody cares.

Speaker 3 It's so true.

Speaker 1 No, until we turn 35, nobody cares.

Speaker 3 Can I say something really fucked up? Yeah. So I'm 32, about to turn 33, and I realized I have like basically two more years of even passing as young.

Speaker 1 Why would you say that right now? It's a Sunday.

Speaker 3 I thought we're being honest with each other. I'm saying this honest thing because I want us to think bigger picture.
Yeah. Being young sucks.
Your frontal lobe is like.

Speaker 1 Not there. Not there.

Speaker 1 Hannah texted me this weekend.

Speaker 3 Wait.

Speaker 1 Hannah texted me this weekend and said, and just in case you ever need a comeback, just say, call me when your frontal lobe is developed.

Speaker 3 And I.

Speaker 1 There's nothing like friendship when your friend is just like, in case you need an insult, I have one on deck for you.

Speaker 3 He said, in case you get in a fight with this man, if you happen to this summer for whatever reason, I thought of something that I can't say because I've been fired.

Speaker 3 But if you want to say it, I think it's... Who's going to use it?

Speaker 3 I told everyone.

Speaker 1 I literally told Sierra, I was like, if you want to take this, you can.

Speaker 3 But I do have to say, our life is not about being old or young. It's the energy we are as people.
It's the soul who we are that goes through a lot of states.

Speaker 1 Oh, my. Are you high?

Speaker 3 Yes.

Speaker 3 Yeah. No, I'm sorry.
Actually, I'm kind of nervous just because I have an insane week ahead of me. No, you really really do.

Speaker 1 So tonight you're doing spots to prepare for Jimmy Fallon tomorrow.

Speaker 3 Okay, we didn't even talk about Jimmy Fallon. I'm nervous about Fallon because I have to do five minutes of clean material.

Speaker 1 And they film it during the day. It's not.
It's at 4 p.m. And it's not actual, like,

Speaker 1 even though it's not live,

Speaker 1 you can't, they're not like redoing things.

Speaker 3 I don't think they can like cut anything. And if I accidentally curse, they'll like bleep it.

Speaker 1 But then they'll, I think you get written off like you can't work in this town again if you curse on Fallon if you need something to say to Jimmy Fallon you can bring up that we went to the same college that is now no longer so if you need a little anecdote wait you can you and Jimmy went to St.

Speaker 1 Rose that doesn't exist

Speaker 3 and I don't know what that says about us but the funny thing is the booker was like we're so excited to have you on um let's figure out what five minutes of jokes you have that we can that work and I sent them some of my clean options and they were like what were like the really punchy bits that we saw you do at JFL?

Speaker 3 And I was like, Oh, yeah, the queef bit and the gun bit.

Speaker 3 I feel like Chris has heard me talk about this before, but it's a particular feeling that only women will feel is when you're sitting or lying down and you fart, and the fart can't go down, so it comes up through your labia lips, and you fart upward.

Speaker 3 Men can never do that because they have beepee. Why did I say beepee?

Speaker 3 Am I the only honest one here? No, I've alone.

Speaker 1 And low-key, you're kind of like,

Speaker 3 ooh. No, it is a weird feeling.
Oh, it like hits too many.

Speaker 1 And you know what I hate about society and this misogynistic world that we live in? Every time that happens, I'm immediately like, oh my God, sorry, that's so embarrassing.

Speaker 1 But it's not because you did that to me.

Speaker 3 Oh, queeefing. You queefed me, period.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like I had no control over it.

Speaker 3 No girl has ever queefed alone. Yeah.
And that, so anyway, I have a whole bit about, one of my favorite bits on Netflix is about that. So I couldn't do that.

Speaker 3 And then I have a joke about how all the girls should have guns. And they were like, let's not.
So little? Let's not.

Speaker 3 In an election year,

Speaker 3 you just, we can't. So we're trying to figure out now what clean bits.
And they want you to do multiple bits in five minutes.

Speaker 1 Clean bits sounds like a Love Island UK

Speaker 3 episode.

Speaker 1 Yes, they're not. Clean bits.

Speaker 3 Clean bits.

Speaker 1 Dirty bits and clean bits.

Speaker 3 Dirty bits and clean bits. I do think that.

Speaker 1 I am going to go off about Love Island in a second.

Speaker 3 Actually, go off.

Speaker 1 Okay, because last time I talked about it on the pod, I was one episode into USA and I was spewing, not hate, but I was just like, I'm getting annoyed that people are like just watching USA and they think that's what Love Island is when there's a whole

Speaker 1 history to Love Island and it started in the UK.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to take everything I said about it back because I do think that the American version is so dramatic and heightened, and it's

Speaker 1 just not the way the British girls are when they meet who they're coupled up with and getting to know.

Speaker 3 It's a different show.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's similar, but like the vibes are completely different on each show.

Speaker 1 Here's what I will say: there is a man on Love Island USA who, I'm not kidding, is the worst man on reality TV that I've seen in a couple years. Like, he's

Speaker 1 so scary and manipulative, And the way he turns things into making it the girls' like fault, I actually said to the TV, I hope that there's a psychologist professor watching this and they're clipping this as and showing it to a class because this is 101.

Speaker 1 He actually reminded me of someone. Yeah.
And I was so, I think I was so triggered by it because I was like, oh my God. And everyone loves you because you're so hot.

Speaker 1 And like, you're the only hot guy on the show.

Speaker 3 And so there's also people are siding with him?

Speaker 1 People are liking him.

Speaker 1 There are some people that are like, oh, he's the worst, but he's not getting nearly as much shit as like one of the other, like one of the girls that he was with, this girl named Leah.

Speaker 3 He's an example of something he did.

Speaker 1 He started, he was coupled up with this girl, Leah. And on popular opinion, too, I'm full team Leah.
He was coupled up with Leah, and then he started talking to another girl.

Speaker 1 Leah went up to him and said, like, why are you talking to this other girl? Like, do you like her? Whatever.

Speaker 1 He fully made it her fault that she wasn't listening to how he felt like about the situation. He started crying.
Whenever a man starts crying because they're frustrated, like that's for girls.

Speaker 1 And when we get pulled over and we're trying to get out of a speeding ticket, like it's not for you guys. No.
Like I can't do it.

Speaker 1 Like I've been in so many situations recently where my comeback, not even comeback, but like my explanation is, but I'm a girl and you're not. So it's like you don't get to do this.

Speaker 3 Like, well, this is the thing, let's be honest, and I'm going to say something controversial. Okay.
Reality TV is for girls. The men on reality TV.
No, it's for girls. It's for girls.

Speaker 3 Girls are the stars of it. Girls are the ones who get the hate.
Girls are the ones who get the storylines. The men are accessories.

Speaker 3 And when men are getting good edits on reality TV, it is honestly scary. Should be illegal.

Speaker 1 Call your local representative. Call your local lobbyist.
I've had enough with the men on reality TV getting away with actual murder.

Speaker 3 No, 100%. And will they get in trouble for some things? Yeah.

Speaker 3 But let's be honest, if a girl did it, she'd be.

Speaker 3 No. No.
No.

Speaker 1 So I'm just like, I'm still watching. Obviously, I'm caught.
It is getting crazy and it is good, but I will never not be a true Love Island UK fan.

Speaker 3 I think it's also because like when men get emotional, like if a man cries, it's like, she must have murdered someone.

Speaker 3 Where if a girl cries it's immediately like oh she misunderstood the situation she's overacting she's trying to be a victim when men cry to be manipulative to like it's I that's like a level of I also want to say

Speaker 3 that's when I'm like oh I'll really make you cry people know that I don't know if everyone knows but I actually like loved reality TV and I can't watch it anymore because I know how the sausage is made yeah but How has being on reality TV affected you watching reality TV shows?

Speaker 1 Well, watching, I really only watch Love Island is like the only reality TV. Sometimes Craig makes me watch 90 Day Fiancé, but they're so fucking crazy that I feel like fine about my own life.

Speaker 1 So Love Island is really the only one I watch. Like I don't, I can't watch anything else on Bravo,

Speaker 1 but you can just see.

Speaker 1 I can tell what producers would have wanted and how they made certain, like their dream scenario absolutely happen.

Speaker 1 So that's a little bit of a mind fuck because I'm like, you guys don't even know that you thought this is all naturally happening.

Speaker 1 The producer said something to you specifically that changed your mind. Yeah.
And now we're in this scenario.

Speaker 1 And I don't think like people who haven't filmed a show would ever catch on to certain things like that. So then I end up hating characters even more

Speaker 1 because I'm like, oh my god. You went with what the producers went exactly with what they wanted.

Speaker 3 And you knew it would hurt your friend. And you didn't give up.
You got fucked. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it's, yeah. So I get, I have a hard time like not getting so emotionally charged.
For sure.

Speaker 3 I also think

Speaker 3 when people are like, oh, how did people not know this season was going to turn out the way it was? It's because it's like, think of a hang.

Speaker 3 Like when you're hanging out, one person is not the star and one person is not like completely the villain. You're all just hanging out throughout the night.

Speaker 3 So when it airs and one person looks like they are like a god and then one person looks like they're like the most horrible person in the world.

Speaker 3 Yeah, people have done things, but it's never that extreme than when you're actually like hanging out.

Speaker 3 And I always say, if you talk to each person about what happened, they all will give you a different narrative.

Speaker 3 You just have to pray that your narrative is the one that's shown. Right.
And there's, when you're in a large cast, it's a small percentage chance.

Speaker 1 I will say, too, one difference that I found to be like kind of interesting. They're the same age range, UK and USA.
UK truly is just more mature than us. Yeah.
And like, I get it because I was.

Speaker 3 Or is it because they sound smarter? A little bit of both. Like, honestly.

Speaker 1 Like, I was 24 years old, and I definitely acted like the girls on Love Island, USA.

Speaker 1 Like, I would definitely get obsessed with someone and I don't know anything about them, but in my head, I made it up. Yeah.
Where UK, the girls are more mature. They handle situations better.

Speaker 1 They just are more mature. And I feel like that's...

Speaker 3 One thing I've always loved about the UK, and shout out to British Dave, who taught me this, is like they're obsessed with chat. Is the chat good?

Speaker 3 Where in America, you meet a guy, you're not like, oh, our conversation flowed. We had good chat.
You're like, okay, check. He's tall.
Yeah. Check he has blue eyes.
Check.

Speaker 1 No, UK is very into like chemistry.

Speaker 1 Yeah, do we mesh? Do I even like laugh with him? Where USA is like...

Speaker 3 And I think we could learn

Speaker 3 to sleep with him. When you go on a date with a guy, is the chat good? Or are you just hilarious? And you could have been...
talking to a brick wall.

Speaker 3 You could have been at home FaceTiming your friend. Yeah.
And that's just like dating. We just figured out dating.

Speaker 1 I've been drinking AG-1 for about two years now and I really started when I started traveling a lot more.

Speaker 1 Oh, I do want to bring this up because this is so not me,

Speaker 3 but

Speaker 1 I obviously.

Speaker 3 You cried?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 3 Oh, God, no.

Speaker 1 But I was on Instagram and I just kept seeing like all this like chatter about Olivia Culpo. And it was just like so.
I mean, people were coming for this girl's neck on some things.

Speaker 1 And I really wasn't fully read into everything on TikTok and like all of it, but I did see that like people were like, oh my God, my love.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I was kind of busy, but I, so I didn't like watch all the TikToks and I didn't see like all the comments, but you're best friends with Haley Beaver.

Speaker 1 So I was like, let me just like shoot my shot and send Olivia Colby. Colbo a DM.

Speaker 3 Have you DM'd her before?

Speaker 1 No, but then I looked back and like I've tagged her and things like years ago i must have like copied one of her outfits or just like whatever so i sent her a message and i was just like i didn't see a bunch of stuff but like you looked gorgeous at your wedding and you look stunning and like don't worry about anything She messaged me back and was like, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 Like, it's been tough, but like, I appreciate it. And I just like sent another message.
Come on, Giggly Squat.

Speaker 3 No, I didn't.

Speaker 3 But I was like, no, no, no,

Speaker 1 but I just felt so bad. Like, regardless of if you like someone's wedding dress or not, like, and yes, she's like a public figure and people are allowed to have opinions and say they don't like it.

Speaker 1 But I don't know for whatever reason, I think because I've been a fan of her for so long, I felt like, okay, but she's still a girl sitting at home looking at messages being like, you look

Speaker 1 horrible on your wedding. Yeah.
Which is like, what we've been trained to be the biggest day of our lives.

Speaker 1 And so for that, that, I felt so bad.

Speaker 3 So first, let's acknowledge that you only messaged her to make me jealous because of the galley stuff. Number two,

Speaker 3 bigger, bigger. This was bigger than you.

Speaker 1 It was not like a girl's girl thing.

Speaker 3 It was actually a girl and girl crime.

Speaker 3 Don't let her confuse you. This was literally just not me.

Speaker 1 I'm not miscalculated. I did just start filming reality TV again.
So I am in it.

Speaker 1 I am not okay. And I am in it.

Speaker 3 I do have to warn people, yeah, during the episodes of the next two or three months.

Speaker 1 It will go rogue and there will be mental breakdowns. We're having a hard time seeing again.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 3 big picture with the Olivia Coppol thing is we're at this insane time where back then, like for people to critique things, it would come from the mass media. Where now anyone

Speaker 3 could judge it and it get the virality of like way more than a newspaper.

Speaker 3 Virality? Sorry.

Speaker 3 Sorry. I don't know where that came from.

Speaker 3 But like a girl's viral TikTok definitely does better than like a magazine did.

Speaker 1 Absolutely.

Speaker 3 And this, and then we're at the point not only where anyone's opinion could be considered like group mentality, whether it's right or wrong. Yep.

Speaker 3 But now the celebrity also can directly respond to them. And honestly, it's chaos.
No, it's chaotic. And I don't think like our society knows yet how to manage like

Speaker 3 these opinions going viral of anyone at any time.

Speaker 3 Sometimes people do opinions that they don't expect to go viral, and then when it goes viral, they get hate because they just thought it was kind of a joke or like kind of an opinion, but people are like, How could you have that opinion?

Speaker 3 Yeah. So then celebs, when they comment, it tends to get even more.
It tends to get worse because then it's like a David vs.

Speaker 3 Alive type situation where it's like, oh, you're coming for this small creator type thing.

Speaker 3 But then it's also like, this is a human who feels attacked by the entire internet.

Speaker 3 So we are in

Speaker 3 Game of Thrones.

Speaker 1 It's literally,

Speaker 1 it's really stressful out there. And so I just like felt bad because I was like, oh my God.

Speaker 1 If that happened to me, like on my wedding day, I'm like, I love this fucking dress. And then everyone was just like, you're disgusting.
I hate it.

Speaker 3 Do you know what I would say to the girls? And this could be powerful.

Speaker 3 I'm not saying anyone was in the wrong, but if you have a moment where you want to go on a rant about like how Olivia Kobo said she didn't put mascara on, but she had a lash lift. So she's a liar.

Speaker 3 Take that energy.

Speaker 3 Which is such a like.

Speaker 3 Take that energy. And we're not saying you're wrong.
Yeah. No.
It's a fact. Yep.
Take that energy and ruin a man's day with it.

Speaker 1 And that's all we've tried to say since we started.

Speaker 3 Because you're smart. You know what's going on.
Use it.

Speaker 1 In tune with things.

Speaker 3 You can see behind. You should be a lawyer.
Yeah. Let's take that.
Put it towards the enemy.

Speaker 1 We don't.

Speaker 3 Girl and girl crime is not what we need to do right now.

Speaker 1 I had one sentence that I kept saying all weekend, and people started to get annoyed with me by the end of it. And I kept saying, how do you guys run the country?

Speaker 1 And I couldn't stop saying it because at every turn, here I am baffled.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I said, and your species is in charge of all of that.

Speaker 3 This is crazy because the women run everything but the country.

Speaker 3 And that's where I get worried.

Speaker 1 Craig's actually getting really mad recently because I keep saying,

Speaker 1 you guys aren't natural born leaders. Because I saw one TikTok.

Speaker 3 I saw the same TikTok. We have the same algorithm.

Speaker 1 And it's now my religion. Can we discuss it?

Speaker 3 It's now my religion. How much time do we have? Can we discuss it? Absolutely.
I have like an hour for this. Let's go.
Men are not natural-born leaders

Speaker 3 is a thing that was said

Speaker 3 that sounds fucking

Speaker 1 so deep in the depths. It was almost like my ancestors were like, This is what we've been trying to tell you guys.

Speaker 3 And you know, I 100% agree. Because you know, when you're in preschool,

Speaker 3 who is the person that decides she has to stand up? I said she already. It was me.
Yeah. Who said, everyone sit down.
I'm the teacher now, bitch.

Speaker 1 I mean, we could go as far back as Adam and Eve.

Speaker 1 Okay? Because Eve got the apple, gave it to Adam. Why didn't Adam get his ass up and look for his own apple? So, like, we could go even further back.
Here's the other thing.

Speaker 1 Military, all men, pretty much. They're taking orders from other men.
They love taking orders. They love being told what to do.

Speaker 3 Because men are dogs, women are cats. Wow, we just figured out everything.

Speaker 1 And what this girl said in her TikTok was essentially like, the way you can tell that men aren't natural born leaders is because when they're outside the home doing their job, that's their job.

Speaker 1 Like they're taking orders from someone. They know what they're doing that day.
Great. When they come home,

Speaker 1 they don't know where anything is. They don't know like what time kids have to be picked up.

Speaker 1 And women are doing all of the work stuff they're doing, and also know where everyone that lives in their house is at every moment.

Speaker 3 And so, it's not a good idea. I would just say, if you're listening and you're still on the fence,

Speaker 1 think about yourself. Now we really said

Speaker 3 about yourself. You're on the fence of believing us or not.

Speaker 3 No, it's definitely at least

Speaker 3 a Tupperware marketing scheme.

Speaker 1 If you still don't want to buy our Tupperware for $19.99, we're going to slash that price right now.

Speaker 3 Think about your mom and dad. And someone has a key

Speaker 3 to like the nuclear

Speaker 3 weapons, the codes. Who are you giving that key to? Oh, my God.
My mom.

Speaker 1 First of all, my dad's losing it.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 1 The man doesn't even have an email address. They wouldn't even be able to give it to him.
Okay. Also, just think about like going on vacation.

Speaker 1 Has anyone, has anyone seen their dad pack, not only for himself, but for anyone else in the home?

Speaker 3 Why do whenever you go anywhere with your parents, your mom has a whole duffel bag for what everyone needs? Your dad

Speaker 3 doesn't even have a wallet. No.
He has a clip. No.
He's running the world with a clip. I don't think so.

Speaker 1 My dad has a rubber band.

Speaker 3 A rubber.

Speaker 1 My dad.

Speaker 3 Our nation is being held on by a rubber band.

Speaker 1 Literally a thread. Here's another example.
Anytime you're with a man and you have a purse, they say, can I put my stuff in your purse? Where would they have put any of their things?

Speaker 1 Because they didn't think. They don't think about anything.
They live so like moment to moment in the moment. And we're big pictures.
And you know what?

Speaker 3 I would say it sounds peaceful as fuck.

Speaker 3 It sounds happy. I wish.
And some would say, yes, men are less emotional because they are living in the moment. Because they can.

Speaker 1 All I say to Craig all day long is, wow. I wish I could date someone like me.

Speaker 1 And that really gets him. And if you, if your boyfriend is pissing you off, it's so subtle, but yet they will think about it for days.
I say, wow, you have a great life.

Speaker 1 I wish that I could meet someone like me.

Speaker 1 Gosh, how less stressed I would be if someone just knew where all the things were in my home and didn't even live here.

Speaker 3 How crazy. Now, I do have to say,

Speaker 3 shout out to Des. I don't know how I did it, but I found a guy who, because he's been single for so long, has had to like function on his own.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 he

Speaker 3 it's a 47

Speaker 3 47 years a boot camp and if someone would see his lifestyle would they recommend it to people

Speaker 3 like no one would be like he's doing it well but he is doing it and he doesn't need me right but like let's just say that when his nephew comes over he goes yay we're going to des it's the messy place yeah

Speaker 3 and we had friends over this weekend and i said you guys there's no rules like you can be messy here. Like, I don't, we don't have like pillows on top of pillows.
Like, we don't do adult things.

Speaker 3 Guess why?

Speaker 3 Because the woman has, doesn't have her shit together. Right.
So if I don't do it, it won't be done. It will be done.
And I've just, honestly, mom is busy right now. I have fallen on Tuesday.

Speaker 3 Like, I have stuff

Speaker 3 I can't get throw pillows.

Speaker 1 My boyfriend didn't pack for a two-week trip. Didn't

Speaker 1 pack.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't think you're understanding it. Didn't pack

Speaker 1 outfits for a trip we were on for two weeks. We got there the first day.
He said, I really want to go shopping. I go, really? Like, that's the first thing.
Like, okay, yeah, like, I'll go shopping.

Speaker 1 He bought so many things. He wore them for the entire trip.

Speaker 3 And then I put together, did you pack for this trip?

Speaker 1 He goes, no, why would I, why would I pack when I'm going to buy things here?

Speaker 3 So I'm just, I was having a hard time.

Speaker 1 I go, not only did I spend seven months putting my outfits together, then went through a month period where I gaslit myself that my outfits were horrible.

Speaker 1 Okay, so I was dealing with that mental process.

Speaker 3 So I don't, again,

Speaker 1 how are you running the country?

Speaker 3 Remember growing up, we actually were told women couldn't run the country because we were too emotional.

Speaker 3 Like that was actually like...

Speaker 3 the end of the argument. People were like, yeah, because women are emotional.
Right. When meanwhile, I'm like, was my mom emotional when she had to raise two children with two jobs?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 3 And her own husband.

Speaker 1 I've never seen my mom cry.

Speaker 1 Literally, I've seen my mom cry. I'm not kidding.

Speaker 1 I have seen my mom cry

Speaker 1 three times in my life.

Speaker 3 Wait, you're so right.

Speaker 1 I have seen my dad cry. Oh my God.
Probably 45 times.

Speaker 3 Mom's enough time to cry. No, literally.

Speaker 3 She'd probably love to schedule in a good fucking sob, but the bitch is busy.

Speaker 1 Like, she doesn't have the luxury of just letting one one rip like

Speaker 3 and you know what it all comes full circle this is what happens when we skip a week it gets too dark it gets too late

Speaker 3 we've been working hard obviously manifesting all these dreams and then now like there's kids on the horizon possibly for who oh not me not well not me not us but i'm saying

Speaker 3 in the next stage oh like children are being general children are being

Speaker 3 another generation for women yeah and then it's like you have to either teach him which again is leadership how to take care of the kids

Speaker 3 Or just become a lesbian. Yeah.
My friend Becca's a lesbian and she said parenting is so easy because they both are capable.

Speaker 1 No, do you want to?

Speaker 3 She was like, Hannah, it's the easiest thing I've ever done.

Speaker 1 I think about lesbian couples so much. Well, one, because I'm like fully on lesbian TikTok, but like

Speaker 1 all I think about is, wow, your guy's apartment must be so fucking organized. Do you know before a date? It must smell so good.

Speaker 3 Before a date, they get ready together. Like they curl each other's hair.
And they, like, tell each other, like, this looks good, this looks cute. They, like, they get ready together.

Speaker 1 All I've been looking is for someone to split the bill with my skincare. Just like sharing bathroom products and, like, clothes.

Speaker 3 It just.

Speaker 3 I think you have the potential. Like, your life can go many ways.
Not to be, like, psychic about it, but like, I could see you, like, having kids, like, whatever. Like, even soon, potentially.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Rome wedding. And then, or somewhere else in Italy.
I'm getting a couple places in Exactly.

Speaker 1 You're getting a few visions.

Speaker 3 Or you go full breaking bad and you have a full like Miley Cyrus Caitlin Carter-esque moment.

Speaker 1 You want me to be a lesbian?

Speaker 3 Where you're like. So you want me to shave my head,

Speaker 1 become a lesbian?

Speaker 1 Do not like who I am as a person.

Speaker 3 Maybe.

Speaker 1 You want me to start wearing Crocs, which is against my military.

Speaker 1 Me and Crocs know that about each other.

Speaker 1 No, it just like,

Speaker 1 I unfortunately do love men. It's a lot of talking about feelings.
That's the part I couldn't do.

Speaker 3 Like talk, like during sex, they're talking. No.
No. And they're eating hummus.

Speaker 1 I could do the hummus. Not, maybe not during sex.

Speaker 3 Jessica Kirsten said they eat hummus and they talk about their feelings a lot.

Speaker 1 No, I couldn't do that.

Speaker 3 See, because does

Speaker 3 sometimes I want to keep talking about my feelings, which is not healthy. And he'll just start playing his golf game on his phone.
I am just. And I'm like, you know what?

Speaker 3 That's what I, I don't need someone enabling my like intrusive intrusive thoughts every time I have one he's like I'm I've hit my limit for today he'll hit he's like it's so healthy like I'll be harping on something as you know I harp

Speaker 3 you do harp I'm a harper I will harp until there's nothing left to harp about and he's like that's a baby name for you harper harper a little too southern not that southern's bad it just looks like got it sorority yep um he will literally put his foot down and be like, and I'm done with this today.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 1 No, there's so many times Craig's

Speaker 1 speaking to me and I just start playing TikToks. I'm like, sorry, I didn't want to be rude and say I was done with this conversation.
This was supposed to like be that and you're not getting that.

Speaker 3 It's actually not rude. It means you really love the person.

Speaker 3 But I feel like with friends, they shouldn't do that. Like I would never do that to a friend.
No, I would.

Speaker 1 Well, no, I would never do that to a girl.

Speaker 3 No. But like in a relationship when you could tell like, okay, you're trauma dumping and I'm enabling your trauma dump.
Yeah. Where with friends, that's what friends are for.

Speaker 1 No, there's nothing I love more than being with my friend and being negative about everything.

Speaker 3 And honestly, repeating the same story 400 times.

Speaker 1 Because there might be a small anecdote that we didn't forget, or we didn't analyze enough.

Speaker 3 Or it could inspire a story we forgot to tell by repeating that other story.

Speaker 1 I'm so hot, I might throw off.

Speaker 3 Let's get into some things we're watching. Okay.

Speaker 3 So there's a lot going on. No, I'm literally getting lightheaded.

Speaker 3 Do you want to pause? Do you want to get a pair of air? Pause for a second. Turn the air on.

Speaker 3 Oh, no. We do not want baby.

Speaker 3 I can try to.

Speaker 1 It takes me a little bit of time to introduce something into my routine, but something that I got the hang of really quickly was Symbiotica liposomal vitamin C.

Speaker 1 I started drinking them when we went on tour because the benefits were just too good to ignore. Collagen production, glowing skin, antioxidants.

Speaker 1 If I'm having a panic attack, I want my skin to be glowing. Symbiotica only uses the best ingredients and the best flavors.
Their liposomal vitamin C is citrus vanilla and it tastes so good.

Speaker 3 Wow. Okay, so she commented on Giggly Squad, I fear the dancing video is giving very much millennial energy, which is, you know, my biggest like insecurity.
Who did? Grace. Oh.

Speaker 3 And it has 700 likes.

Speaker 3 So I watched a Nickelback documentary.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 1 You thought, Grace thought you were millennial with the dancing.

Speaker 3 This is insane.

Speaker 1 I didn't even know they were still alive.

Speaker 3 They're literally like younger than now.

Speaker 1 I I know. I'm just kidding.

Speaker 3 So it's basically about like, why does everyone hate Nickelback? Yeah. Do you remember there was a time when Nickelback was just Nickelback? Yeah.
Which just shows our age. But like Nickelback.

Speaker 1 They were fine. Nobody hated them.

Speaker 3 Look at this photograph.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there was like all of a sudden there was like this culture. Well, it was when they put their album.
Oh, no. Was that Nickelback?

Speaker 3 What'd they do?

Speaker 1 Who was the person that like

Speaker 1 U2 went on the back of the

Speaker 1 iPhone? Everyone had it on their iTunes.

Speaker 3 Yeah. And didn't didn't ask, there was no consent.

Speaker 3 No consent. No consent.
And U2 was on our... But U2's fine.
U2's respected. Nickelback has become a meme.
I think the guy's hair didn't do him.

Speaker 3 I mean, look.

Speaker 1 I kind of feel bad for them.

Speaker 3 You feel bad. But then you watch the documentary and it's definitely made by them and it's trying to make them more relatable.
And you're kind of like,

Speaker 3 yeah, this guy doesn't deserve to be canceled. But like, I don't.

Speaker 1 Did they bring up how they became just a joke?

Speaker 3 Yeah, it was like literally, and the guy who's the main guy was like, the other guys in the band don't get it. Like, it's much harder for me because like I'm the star, I'm the face of the band.

Speaker 3 So everyone like hates me and knows who I am. But I'm also like, yeah, and that's what comes with being the star of the band.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And maybe you're the reason why everyone...

Speaker 3 Yeah, maybe the other guys didn't do it.

Speaker 3 And he's...

Speaker 1 And Drummer's like, please leave me out of this. I literally haven't said a word.

Speaker 3 He also dated Avril Levine, which I think he did.

Speaker 3 Yeah, like he's, and I don't know the man, but it's, you didn't watch the documentary, like, being like, that man deserves to to get all the hate he does not but you didn't leave it like justice for that man

Speaker 3 I rarely leave an interaction with a man and think justice for him because I personally do not think they should get any hate like as in there's they have such incredible music they worked really hard to be where they're at yeah and yeah some people say it's corny or whatever i mean there was a time where people like loved listening it was played more on the radio than the beatles like yeah some would argue they got so big it got overexposed.

Speaker 3 But then people would be like, oh, it's like pop rock bullshit.

Speaker 3 And I'm like, if you think that's too poppy, like then what about pop songs that are literally just like repeating a girl's voice over and over again?

Speaker 3 Like you don't hate on music. It's like calling music hack when like some people enjoy it.
Right. So that was my thesis on Nickelback documentary.
I didn't love the documentary.

Speaker 1 What was it on?

Speaker 3 Netflix.

Speaker 3 Netflix.

Speaker 3 But then I went to, I believe, HBO to watch the Taylor Swift Scooter Braun documentary. Oh.

Speaker 3 Which no one's been talking about. No one's been talking about that.

Speaker 1 I saw that on

Speaker 1 the platforms, but I scrolled.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think, well, people were trying to be like, why is no one talking about this? She's the biggest artist in the world. And it's because when I was watching it, no one's hiding anything.

Speaker 3 It's actually not, one, not that interesting. And B, it's very like pop news done.
Like, you tell it's done by like a TMZ type thing. But long story.
Oh, I hate those stories. I hate that.

Speaker 1 Because I get so excited for them. And then I'm like, oh, this is like a fake.

Speaker 3 It's three journalists talking.

Speaker 1 And they say the same thing in different sentences. 100%.

Speaker 3 So the whole artistic vision was the first one is Taylor's version of what happened. And the second one is Scooter Braun's version of what happened.
But it's just like...

Speaker 3 clearly journalists who hate Taylor Swift in the second one and journalists who love her in the first one. But what I gained from it factually is that Taylor Swift was offered her masters.

Speaker 3 If you don't know what masters are, which I didn't know,

Speaker 3 I still don't know what masters are. No, masters.
The original. No, no, not the original.
It means, yeah, the original recording.

Speaker 3 So like she owns the song, the music, whatever, but those actual recordings are the masters.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 3 when her,

Speaker 3 whatever people were going to sell it,

Speaker 3 they offered it to her. But they didn't just say like, hey, you could buy it for whatever you want.

Speaker 3 They said, you could buy it, but you have to do an album if you want the masters to a previous album every time you want the masters to a previous album you need to do a new album for us so that's not a good offer or fair or what she wanted right so that's she didn't autumn you don't automatically own the label automatically owns the masters even though you own the rights to the song yes okay so that's why she was able to re-record it and she like i guess it was oversimplified but she basically said you know i wasn't able to buy my masters i I wasn't even aware that he was selling it to Scooter.

Speaker 3 Like, and she basically told her, the Swifties, like, make this known that this is wrong. So they all came for Scooter and stuff.
So Scooter is like.

Speaker 1 Do you think Scooter is the name he was born for?

Speaker 3 Scott, I looks it up. Oh, okay.
First of all, never trust a man that goes by Scooter.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 that's the biggest grape I have here. How did we get from Scott to Scoot?

Speaker 3 To Scooter.

Speaker 1 It's just... Just be Scott.

Speaker 3 Who has a nickname that's longer than their original name?

Speaker 1 Sociopaths. I don't like it.
I don't like it.

Speaker 3 Giving Braxton. It doesn't sit with me.
I didn't want to say the B-word. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 I didn't even say. I met Alex in Braxton at the wedding.

Speaker 3 Wait, tell me, like, the scene. Give me the scene.

Speaker 1 I was at, we were in San Trope. I was at like a welcome.
Sorry, I was in San Trope.

Speaker 1 Just at a five-star resort, Minwalks, Braxton. No, I was at a like welcome party, like wedding party, and I was with Rachel, Rachel from The Bachelorette, Matt and Rachel, Matt James.

Speaker 3 Okay, I've never met her, but we're like pretend best friends. No.

Speaker 3 Is she like a girl's girl?

Speaker 1 I love her so freaking much. Is she a giggler? I actually don't know.

Speaker 3 We don't know. But she's like, but she's with us.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like she gets it. Like, she's our vibe.

Speaker 3 Did you guys talk about me?

Speaker 2 I don't know if we did talk about you.

Speaker 1 I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3 Why did you not lead with me? Why did you not lead it? Hi, I'm Paige.

Speaker 1 Do you know who Shanna Berner's best friend is? I go by Paige. That's crazy behavior.

Speaker 3 Because that's how I lead with people.

Speaker 1 Because you want to know what? When I first really saw her, we were in a club.

Speaker 3 Also, you didn't know that she and I, like I didn't know that you guys knew each other. We don't know each other, but yeah.
Got it.

Speaker 1 So I was with Rachel and she was like, oh my God, I have to introduce you to Alex because she's friends with them. So I came, I walked over and I saw Alex.
She's...

Speaker 1 Obviously, she's so pretty on the internet, but she's so cute and pretty in person. And she just, like, I immediately felt like, oh my God, I have to protect you.
You're just like a young girl.

Speaker 1 I hugged her. She was like, Oh my god, I'm such a fan.
I said, I'm such a fan of you. And then I turned to Braxton.
I was so nervous because I was like, No, I we dragged your name for three years.

Speaker 3 All in good fun. All in good fun.

Speaker 1 He was so nice. Do you think he saw the videos?

Speaker 1 I don't know, probably.

Speaker 3 Okay, but it wasn't brought up.

Speaker 1 But it wasn't brought up. It was very quick.
And I wasn't like, oh, we got to take a picture together or anything. I said hi.
We were very nice. And then like the party kept going.

Speaker 1 But they were so like normal, just like normal people and just like really cool. And that's pretty much the only story.

Speaker 3 You go, she's human. I touched her.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she's a real person. She's alive.

Speaker 3 She didn't have like snakes coming out of her hair.

Speaker 1 No, but she, and it was just like being at a normal wedding. Like everyone kind of chilled with like their table.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we didn't even bring it up. Like there's this crazy wedding that was going on.

Speaker 3 I think it got a lot of attention because it was like a vast amount of like, not just influencers, but like personalities and people.

Speaker 1 Like random.

Speaker 3 You tell your mom to shut up and you don't pay taxes. You were at that party.

Speaker 1 There were a lot of people at that party that in the third grade said, fuck you, mom.

Speaker 1 And yes, that is shameful.

Speaker 3 Actually, there was some drama. And I don't want to call you out because it is the summer.

Speaker 3 You go to the wedding and you post all these photos and then your caption. And at first I said, how dare they try to pit two women against each other? Page rates,

Speaker 3 something along the lines of this was the greatest, most amazing, best, most beautiful wedding I've ever been to. What'd you say?

Speaker 1 I said, the most gorgeous wedding I've ever been to. And I'm going to be honest, when I was about to post that thread, I said, Paige, you can't post a thread

Speaker 1 or post that.

Speaker 3 You're such a millennial.

Speaker 3 Photo? Caption.

Speaker 1 The carousel of photos.

Speaker 3 Oh, dump. The dump.
Great. Dump.
Whatever.

Speaker 1 The kids are fucking saying. When I was going to post all those photos, I was like, okay, I can't do a caption about me when it's I was at someone else's wedding.

Speaker 1 I can't not include a photo of a wedding that I was at and just act like, oh, I went on a shed.

Speaker 3 And I can't not attack my best friend's wedding also.

Speaker 1 So I was just like, I don't even know when I'm making this. Best wedding ever.
But I feel like everyone says that for every wedding they've ever been to.

Speaker 3 You're getting defensive. Breathe.
I am hot.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it is like 400 degrees here because we don't like the air conditioning because it makes a bad sound in the back.

Speaker 3 So are you making a statement?

Speaker 1 Then you lied.

Speaker 3 You don't have to.

Speaker 1 It was the most gorgeous wedding I've ever had.

Speaker 3 Can you at least do compliment sandwich and say something nice about my wedding?

Speaker 1 Your wedding was the most fun I've ever had at a wedding.

Speaker 3 Do you even remember my wedding?

Speaker 1 No, and that's why it was so funny. I blacked out the second I got there.
I remember you walking down the aisle, me cry. Talk about me never crying.

Speaker 1 I cried like a fucking baby at your wedding to the point where Craig turned around and was like, are you seriously crying this much?

Speaker 2 I was like, that's my best friend. I was like, you just can't be married.
That's so dense.

Speaker 1 So your wedding was the most fun wedding I've ever been to. This was

Speaker 1 a magical of a like.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it was wild.

Speaker 1 I couldn't. The scenery, everything, the outfits, like it was.

Speaker 3 When you're at a wedding, well, thank you for clarifying because I was getting a lot of tags and I didn't want to speak for you

Speaker 3 because I thought you were lying. Did, do you feel weird talking to the bride when you go to a wedding? I always feel like it's like a celebrity that you don't want to bother eating.

Speaker 1 I honestly stay away from the company.

Speaker 3 I feel like making eye contact with the bride is disrespectful.

Speaker 1 I'm like, don't even come to my table to say hi. You have so many other things to do.
I feel like it's rude to like actively want to talk to the bride and groom.

Speaker 3 To take any of their time. Yeah.
I'm like, who am I? And then what if the bride is like, why is everyone ignoring me?

Speaker 3 I

Speaker 1 honestly, they had so many people and so many different events that I truly do think they did like talk to like that to everyone. Yeah.
But actually, I didn't talk to them at the wedding.

Speaker 3 No, out of respect.

Speaker 1 Because I talked to them the day before.

Speaker 3 What else was I to say? Out of respect.

Speaker 3 Kendall Jenner wore your dress.

Speaker 1 Kendall Jenner wore a navy blue Jacques Mousse dress and everyone was like, oh my God, she looks so good. This is insane.
Sorry, I already wore it to meet Victoria Beckham.

Speaker 1 So I'm like, Kendall is a giggler.

Speaker 3 Kendall's a giggler.

Speaker 1 Could have tagged. Could have tagged.
Could have said. I was listening to Paige meet Victoria Beckham, and she wore a stunning outfit, and I was like, I'm going to wear that.

Speaker 1 Maybe she is a giggler because of Haley.

Speaker 1 Let's talk about Justin Bieber reposting you.

Speaker 3 It's honestly, it's a weird thing with the phone because you see it, but it doesn't really process.

Speaker 3 It's not like you're like, he was like, hey, Hannah, like, that was a funny post. I'm sharing.

Speaker 1 If there's one man in the arts we support.

Speaker 3 It's Justin Bieber.

Speaker 3 No, yeah. Just went on my phone and I started getting like mentions like crazy and I hadn't done anything.
And I'm like, this is weird. And then the gigglers were sending me a screenshot.

Speaker 3 And it was crazy because it was like the only story he posted.

Speaker 1 I also feel like we manifested that because the first time we ever did a live show, I walked off stage and I said, I understand what Justin Bieber feels.

Speaker 3 Justin Bieber feels connected to us.

Speaker 1 And I feel like in the universe, I was like... us and Justin Bieber.

Speaker 3 But I also wonder, like, did he watch it and think like, wow, that was good. That was hilarious.
Yeah. So that's really funny.
But yeah, we didn't even talk about Haley.

Speaker 3 I actually, I don't think I even told you because I wanted to annoy you.

Speaker 3 Did I tell you I was interviewing Haley? No, you didn't. Oh, yeah, I wanted to annoy you?

Speaker 1 No, we talked about this on the pod.

Speaker 3 We talked about it on the pod. Oh, yeah, we did the belly bump and everything.
Um, so yeah, that was just the aftermath with Justin. But like, I get it.

Speaker 3 It's kinda like when me and you hang out and Craig, like, tries to FaceTime us because he knows we're having fun, which is like valid. Right.
They wanna, you know. What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 What's going on? Are you talking about me? Are you involved? Um, final thought: oh, yeah, I'm watching Breaking Bad still.

Speaker 3 Get over it. I think it's finally starting to get good at like season.
I'm one of those people that's like season 73.

Speaker 3 I kind of like where the plot's going. Yeah.
So, that are you watching anything besides Love Island?

Speaker 1 Just my life fall apart.
