Giggling about blowdryer boyfriends, pick me girls, and getting humbled

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

Speaker 1 Sup, gigglers. Gary, fix your Wi-Fi.

Speaker 2 Manifest that shit.

Speaker 1 We can't be managed.

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

Speaker 2 Oh, God. Okay.

Speaker 2 What's up, my gassed up gigglers? It's too hot in New York.

Speaker 1 I thought you were going to say gaslighting because, like, I feel like that's all I do to myself.

Speaker 2 Wait, are you okay? Because,

Speaker 1 no, I'm like, I'm having like vision issues, I feel like.

Speaker 2 And I don't know.

Speaker 2 I thought you were going to say, like, my stomach hurt. And she's like, I don't feel well.
Like, I can't see. And I was like, I feel like we should call someone.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like, I'm not dizzy, but like, I have to blink a ton.

Speaker 2 Like, not to like be dramatic, but this is where my mind always goes. I think it's mental.

Speaker 2 I think it's anxiety.

Speaker 1 I think that's what it is. I think, like, honestly, you making me leave my apartment on a Saturday evening.

Speaker 2 Honestly, Grace being gone has thrown me. I'm scared.
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 1 And when she texts in in the group chat, I'm like, oh my God.

Speaker 2 Well, for everyone wondering, Grace, as of today,

Speaker 2 is like kind of out of her like drug-induced combo,

Speaker 2 which is probably fun. Honestly, sounds freeing.

Speaker 2 A little bit jealous. But she posted a clip today.
We've been chatting. So Grace.

Speaker 1 She's been making jokes.

Speaker 2 Yes. Well, we made her laugh too hard and she said it almost like her

Speaker 2 dropped her jaw.

Speaker 2 Wait, how could you be like feeling off when you were in a peplum?

Speaker 1 I freaking knew you were going to say something about my peplom.

Speaker 2 It's so cute though. It's so freaking cute.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I found this brand on Instagram called Line by Kay. Okay.
I think it's like they're in LA and they just had the cute stuff and I saw this little peplum top and I was like,

Speaker 2 you look so adorable. Like she walked in and stopped for me to like look at her outfit to be like, you look so adorable.

Speaker 1 I love Kaz playing as a ballerina.

Speaker 2 You look so cute, but I'm a little jealous because My long torso, if I wear a peplum, it just...

Speaker 1 No, my whole outfit right now is a hate crime against you.

Speaker 2 I'm wearing capris, ballet flaps, and a peplum. And you know, I can't wear my hair back like that because I have

Speaker 2 a week.

Speaker 1 I wasn't saying it.

Speaker 2 I was just finishing your sentence.

Speaker 2 How was your week?

Speaker 1 Oh my God. What even happened this week? I feel like I'm so...

Speaker 2 We voice noted a lot.

Speaker 1 We voice noted a lot. And here's the other thing.
Like, Juana ghosted my therapist. I just, she didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything.

Speaker 2 Was that the problem?

Speaker 1 She didn't do anything. No, no.
She's amazing. I just like, you never get like so busy and you're just like, I literally can't.

Speaker 2 Do you know when you start getting so stressed about therapy? Yeah. Because you're like, I'm so busy.
And it almost feels like you have to do another podcast.

Speaker 1 No, like it feels like a job because I'm like, okay, I'm about to talk to her. And like, yeah, what's going on this week? Like, I have to come up with a docket.

Speaker 2 It's like, if you don't come up with something that's like an issue, it's like you failed therapy.

Speaker 2 Sometimes you try to make a problem when there's not, or you're harping on something that you're like, I'm kind of over it, but I'll talk about it more. Right.

Speaker 1 Because I'm like, I'm not going to waste this lady's time.

Speaker 2 I get so prepared for therapy. Like we sit down and immediately, I'm like, this is what's on the docket.
Yeah. Sometimes I need to just shut the fuck up.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Like sometimes for me, I actually need to be physical. Like hitting a tennis ball.
And a lot of girls have been wearing tennis outfits.

Speaker 2 Tennis is so therapeutic because you're literally hitting something.

Speaker 1 No, I think I genuinely need more human-to-human contact.

Speaker 2 When you're stuck alone or just like talking about your problems all the time or thinking about your wellness, it's like unhealthy.

Speaker 1 I'm like really sick of myself.

Speaker 1 Like

Speaker 1 not in a like self-loathing situation. Like I'm sick of all day.
It's all about me.

Speaker 2 Be careful.

Speaker 1 Sometimes I annoy myself.

Speaker 2 Do you ever get interviewed and everything you say, you're like, I'm so annoying.

Speaker 2 All the time.

Speaker 1 Like, I'll see podcast clips of myself, like, not on Giggly Squad. I'm like, first of all, who is she?

Speaker 2 Second of all, but when you see a quote written down, you're like, that sounded, that didn't sound good. You wait, a few things.

Speaker 1 One, I got my period.

Speaker 2 Congratulations.

Speaker 1 Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 I'm going to put in the, whenever Grace comes back and does the newsletter, I'm going to put in the newsletter, like, what the vitamins were that I took because I didn't want to give it to the gigglers prior to me getting my period.

Speaker 1 Because, again, we're not doctors. We have no idea who we're talking about.

Speaker 2 But you're going to give it to them.

Speaker 1 No, I'm going to give it to them now because I know like it worked for you.

Speaker 2 For me, she's a doctor.

Speaker 1 But again, this is what my doctor gave me. So like it could be different for you.
Yeah. But I'm still going to give them all the names of everything.

Speaker 1 And you humbled me

Speaker 1 so badly this week that I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I've told everyone.
that I've talked to this week. I go, do you want to know what Hannah said to me? And it was like so humbling.

Speaker 1 I was like complaining about an array of things in a voice note. And I said to Hannah, like, whatever.
I'm just like really anxious and emotional. It's probably because I just got my period.

Speaker 1 And Hannah listed everything that was wrong in my life. I mean, there were like 10 things.
And she just went down a list. And she goes, no, but it's definitely your period for sure.

Speaker 1 And it took me a minute. And I was like, you know what? I have to apologize to all women.

Speaker 1 But the men made me think that. Hannah was like, maybe it's because you're on one of the most insane reality shows.
Your boyfriend's in a public feud.

Speaker 2 You don't leave your apartment. You have

Speaker 2 debilitating anxiety, but yeah. You fuck her jaw.

Speaker 1 Grace literally chucked herself down the steps.

Speaker 2 Blame your poor period, who's just like

Speaker 2 a woman in the arts trying to like exist.

Speaker 1 I literally haven't been here for a year and you're already complaining.

Speaker 2 I'm like, also, what was the excuse? But when you couldn't get your period for the last two years, right? But the second she comes back, we bring it up. But you know what?

Speaker 2 That's part of girlhood is that whatever happens, you go, but I don't know, it's because I'm on my period, even though you're not on your period. Literally, because my period,

Speaker 2 my period was either two weeks ago, a week after, I don't care. It had happened.

Speaker 1 Girls really get one week where they can

Speaker 1 know what their personality truly is. And that's like that.
It's really, it's a hard.

Speaker 2 Think about PMS. That, I don't know who that is.
Yeah. Period week.
I don't know who that is. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I'm so horny the next week because we're whatever it's called. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We're like, we're ovulating. Yeah.

Speaker 2 you're just like just white everywhere and then the fourth week i'm too tired to yeah i'm like don't look at me

Speaker 1 act like i'm invisible so the next time you come for someone for having a bad day ask what week she's in like it's so people don't bring attention enough that like we're in different weeks like but we're also normalizing

Speaker 2 that men are hormonal Like whenever a man does something.

Speaker 1 I'm normalizing that.

Speaker 2 It's hormonal. I am.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 So you're sort of like a moment.

Speaker 2 Like when a guy like shoots up a moment. That's a great

Speaker 1 way to piss them off.

Speaker 2 It's hormonal. Wait.
Imbalance.

Speaker 1 Talk about a way to really piss off your boyfriend. Like if he does something and like with a straight face, you're just like, are you hormonal?

Speaker 2 Is there

Speaker 2 a little strong?

Speaker 1 They're going to lose their fucking minds.

Speaker 2 Is the testosterone? I can't say testosterone. Testosterone.
Is it testosterone? Testosterone.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I feel like the testosterone is a little off today. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Ooh. Because also I feel like men are very like,

Speaker 1 you don't have anxiety. You're You're being crazy.
You don't have anxiety. If you just don't think about it, it's not real.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, no, I think it's real.

Speaker 2 I also love when men get emotional. They act like, oh, sorry, I was emotional.
Everything I said didn't count. But when girls are emotional, they're crazy.

Speaker 1 Yes. There's just so much wrong.
That was later. And it's not the largest.
That was later.

Speaker 2 Speaking of

Speaker 2 hot rodent boyfriend,

Speaker 2 Craig is not a hot rodent boyfriend. Craig's a Labrador boyfriend.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Craig would def well, but I would say Craig is not frog.

Speaker 1 I think maybe he's rat.

Speaker 2 Hot rodent is very different.

Speaker 2 It's all totally different. We're getting all of our animals confused right now.
Hot rodent boyfriend is like Jeremy On White. Yep.
It's basically short guys who don't have, who aren't that?

Speaker 1 Non-conventionally hot men. They're calling it rodent boyfriend summer.

Speaker 2 I'm just kind of sick of like when men are ugly, them getting rebranded into a trend. No, no, I can't.
Why can't we do that for girls why can't be like long long torso

Speaker 2 pinkle cuties

Speaker 2 double chin divas

Speaker 2 big big big big cuff big big foot okay meg the stallion don't cover meg big foot babies

Speaker 2 i was coming for me on all those by the way i was coming for me such a a great observation.

Speaker 1 They never rebrand us.

Speaker 2 We grew up with like dad bods being cool, which is basically like, hey, all the lazy guys who drink too much beer are hot. You can't, but they can.

Speaker 2 And now they can be short and ugly. Then like short king is literally.
Short king.

Speaker 1 We never get a bone.

Speaker 2 The PR on the men's side is so good, which is crazy. Because PR, I thought, was a woman-run business.

Speaker 1 It's really strong on their side. And like, they're coming for hot girl summer.
Like, all of a sudden, it's a hot rodent boyfriend summer. No.

Speaker 2 summer was our thing. I was with a fuckboy last week

Speaker 2 shooting a video. He was like, self-proclaimed fuckboy.
He was like,

Speaker 2 he called himself a bad boy bartender, and he said, it's white boy summer. And I was like, okay.

Speaker 1 Not ever.

Speaker 1 I saw a thing on TikTok that said it's fat, funny boy summer. I'm like, that's just not fair.
That's not fair.

Speaker 1 It's never greasy hair girl summer. It's never like slightly depressed, possibly anxiety.

Speaker 2 sweaty dehydrated girl sexy summer never we can never just live in our own bodies but also i think we're in on it we have internalized misogyny yeah like last i literally last episode we thought dr pepper was a man we assumed and we apologized i blamed my period instead of blaming my boyfriend this week so we are the ones enabling them calling them hot boy rodents or whatever they are daddy

Speaker 2 making them feel good about themselves i know but i think what the truth is is that most women actually don't care what men look like we just want them to be nice yeah i did this like dating thing that i was in minnesota shooting this like funny dating show thing and it was all people like in their early 20s and my job was like to navigate the date so like match them up or just like have them ask questions to each other i was asking the questions i basically got to you know when you're like listening to your first date yes you got to if you're at a restaurant you're watching people on a blind first date you got to actually participate participate i was like

Speaker 2 i need a follow-up i don't understand that and also like you know when you hear a conversation, you're like, let's spice it up. Yeah.
So I was asking all the questions I wanted to ask.

Speaker 2 When you're not in your early 20s, you like can see it from an outside perspective. And like, these girls are literal angels.
Like, they're sweet.

Speaker 2 They don't really know themselves yet, but they're so pure, so beautiful. They just have to be so good.

Speaker 1 They just really make it.

Speaker 2 And they just want to meet a guy to have like a nice relationship with. And then you look at the man and talk about hormonal.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 He is just like, they're always rock hard, just like all the blood's in their dick. They have no thoughts going on.

Speaker 2 And I'm like, this poor girl has to navigate him and it's not his fault yeah but like that's why dating in your 20s like don't even try to settle down

Speaker 2 until you're like 27 until you're like 47

Speaker 2 until you're 40.

Speaker 2 but it's like you're younger and you think you're doing something wrong when it's like he literally is just like thinking about like Bitcoin and who would win in a fight a bear or a chicken like yeah

Speaker 2 he's laughing because it's true

Speaker 2 it's true so anyway if you're in your early 20s, do not feel any pressure to make anything work in any capacity because that's just not how things happen.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 I had a bad thought

Speaker 2 that I was my intrusive thought of the week. Is um

Speaker 2 like obviously we don't want to be pick-me girls, right?

Speaker 2 Is having a boyfriend, like the ultimate pick-me move?

Speaker 2 Like, you fucking

Speaker 2 like I'm married. Like,

Speaker 2 you were like okay You told him that you loved him so much that he literally proposed like he picked me like I am the final boss of pick me girl like you if you're with someone you're picky

Speaker 1 all the other girls.

Speaker 2 I'm the pickiest me.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So like

Speaker 2 how do you not be pick me?

Speaker 1 You can be like, oh, I don't want a man to pick me when a man I think you kind of have to just be like me and be really mean to them. And then people are like, are they even dating?

Speaker 2 Or you pick them.

Speaker 1 You know what? It's so funny. My very first therapist.

Speaker 2 How many ghosts ago?

Speaker 1 She said,

Speaker 1 and I never forgot it. That was, this was like the only thing I feel like I ever really took from her was girls are so used to being picked by the guy.

Speaker 1 And she was like, and all you do is like wait to get picked. She's like, have you ever picked your boyfriend?

Speaker 1 And I was like,

Speaker 1 oh my God.

Speaker 2 And I in my head, in my head, I'm fully picking my boyfriend, but I'm picking the guy who likes me. Because I'm like, he's fucking awesome.

Speaker 1 Think about the ones you pick. They're the ones that don't like you.
Yeah. Like you don't ever really end up dating.

Speaker 2 That's why sometimes they say the guy who like likes you a little more than you like him in the beginning is better.

Speaker 2 Like I do have to say, I've heard a lot of stories where like people end up getting married. It's always like the guy knew before her.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Because when you go in full, when you think you know, you don't know.

Speaker 1 And I just don't feel like girls can ever, ever be the one that's like a little bit more

Speaker 1 obsessed with it.

Speaker 2 I do have to say, with like the Dez situation, when I first met him.

Speaker 1 You mean you're married? Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's like the ultimate D-center movie. Like, you know that? That, like, entanglement I'm in with Des?

Speaker 1 That you're married.

Speaker 2 I was like, you know, that's a side note.

Speaker 2 Do you know that guy that you see sometimes in my apartment? A man in my house.

Speaker 1 You know that guy that you saw leaving the other day? His shoes were in the corner.

Speaker 2 A man that keeps calling me.

Speaker 1 Remember when you came to that party, I was in the white dress and the guy was next to me. He had the tons on.

Speaker 2 That guy.

Speaker 2 His knee was hurting, so he couldn't dance that much.

Speaker 2 You were blackout.

Speaker 2 Was his knee hurting at the wedding? Yeah, he couldn't dance as much as he wanted to. I don't remember that.
But it's fine. Anyway, shout out.

Speaker 2 I remember I was obviously in a place where I didn't want, I wasn't about to be like, yeah, there's my husband. Like, I was like dealing with so much crap.

Speaker 2 And I remember him being the one who actually put the foot down, who was like, you know, I like you.

Speaker 1 This is actually, I've never asked you this. When

Speaker 1 you started like talking to him, dating him, and then you were like fully with him.

Speaker 1 Like, so say like September, October, like you were fully living with him yeah when did you know you were gonna marry him prior to that or you like when when I was moving in with him I already in my head was like he has I'm gonna marry he has like this could be game over I also can't ever tell like do I like you just because you like really like me long story short is honestly I just played a lot of games because I never trusted anyone right and I just was like you were you needed like a real adult I also deep down just felt like i haven't met my husband material yet and then you manifested it i actually got a really funny text message from one of my girlfriends today that was like and then she followed it up with i swear i'm not on drugs

Speaker 1 she said do you ever meet with an astrologer an energy worker because i feel like you have really strong manifestation powers and then she said i swear i'm not on drugs today with my weird questions I don't know why that just made me think of it, but I feel like you're good at manifest, like you manifested does.

Speaker 1 and a lot of things it is timing a lot of these timing my thing is i've tried to i've wanted to do everything too soon and i feel like the universe like is like

Speaker 1 not yet like where you're gonna get to it but not yet so like when it comes to marriage and children like i feel like in my 20s i that was all i cared about like i was really focused on like okay but who the fuck am i gonna marry yeah and then i kind of had a switch i feel like when i was like 28 27 28 and i was like everyone fucking sucks.

Speaker 1 And I need to just like take a minute. And that's when I really focused on my career.
And then I was like, wait, I don't need to get married or have a baby yet at all.

Speaker 1 And so I feel like, I feel like we're always like rushing our lives, especially like young women, because society does put that like, okay, you're third, like our 30 marker is like crazy.

Speaker 1 It's, you're either thriving or you're dead. Yes.

Speaker 2 And so you know what's fucking crazy? I was the exact opposite. I walked around always being like, I'm going to be the last friend to get married.
Yeah. The last friend to have kids.

Speaker 2 And I was almost like, I think when we met, like, I was really hungry with my career. Yeah.
Almost like I wanted it too bad. And then I think you wanted the relationship too bad.

Speaker 2 And I saw you deal with like career pressure situations better than me because I was like,

Speaker 2 I wanted it so fucking bad. So it's almost the opposite of me.
And we switched. And we switched, we're like, my thing just fell in my lap because I think, I don't know.

Speaker 2 But I just, sometimes when you, you force things, the universe backs up and goes, you're not ready, bitch. Yeah.
Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 1 Wow, we're having like such a deep, deep Saturday conversation. Yeah, Hannah's making us record on a Saturday.

Speaker 2 I know. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 No, I'm not like mad about it. Because we didn't have a time.
I feel like we had plans.

Speaker 2 Where was I going? I like care about the time and the energy we record. And the Sunday times were not the vibe.
It was like really early or really late. One more deep thing about that.

Speaker 2 I saw saw a tennis quote because this is a sports podcast about the top tennis players. And they said they looked at like the top five tennis players and the top hundred tennis players.

Speaker 1 Women or men are all of them.

Speaker 2 Honestly, I don't know any details about where the stat came from, but we love a stat. Like, I don't even know how they possibly got this information.

Speaker 2 So that means, you know, it's real. But like, they said their ground strokes were the same, their nutrition was the same, how hard they worked was the same.
Everything was the same.

Speaker 2 But the difference between the top players and like the top 100 players. They were married? No.

Speaker 2 That was gonna really fake me No, it was that they the top players after they lose a point their brain would get back to being happy much quicker than the other players So basically it's kind of fucked up, but it's like the top players were enjoying the process more and overall had more positive thoughts so like wow

Speaker 2 That they didn't get to that part.

Speaker 2 Okay, well, but it makes me think about like when you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself for like marriage or something like you're actually not having fun You're not putting good energy on the world you're overthinking everything you're not enjoying the journey you're not enjoying the journey where like i think us with our careers even like when i was like i want to do well i want to do well and you were more like does that guy even like me but you were like doing well with your career because you were being yourself and you were effortless and you were you were you weren't questioning yourself so it's like well i think giggly squads a great example of that well giggly squads are safe haven right no i would die without and it's not a coincidence that the thing that makes us the most happy flows easier right where like some other things is more difficult for us, like exists.

Speaker 2 Anything.

Speaker 1 I was like, I mean, you could name, you could insert anything there and I'm aligned with her.

Speaker 2 Also, just I have to shout out one more time for the gigglers. Why are the gigglers so pretty?

Speaker 1 Who did you meet this week?

Speaker 2 Just every time I meet, like I'll look at a room and the hot girl sees me. I'm a giggler.
I go, I know.

Speaker 1 Also, isn't it funny that you can like sense their energy? Like when I was at that 95th birthday party, I made eye contact with one of

Speaker 1 one of the waitresses and like telepathically i was i think i was like do you listen to my podcast and she was like yeah i do and then we like started chatting but like i knew and she came over to me and she was like hi and i was like no i know you're a giggler like i felt the energy and but how do we how does this podcast our dumb shit attract only hot successful smart girls secret cult and i do feel like the illuminati is like catching on to it yeah no i'm scared

Speaker 1 knock your door you know what i'm scared about what this has never happened to me and i've heard rumors of it. And I've heard other people speak of it.
And I was just like, it'll never be me.

Speaker 2 Jail?

Speaker 1 I like can't eat chicken recently.

Speaker 2 Oh, no. That happened to me once.

Speaker 1 And I'm eating chicken the other night. And I'm just like,

Speaker 2 ah,

Speaker 2 tasting chicken.

Speaker 1 I was like, this tasting, you know, the tickets.

Speaker 2 The chicken started chickening.

Speaker 1 And I couldn't.

Speaker 2 Did you bite on like a...

Speaker 1 a tendon? I don't know what it was. I was just chewing and I was just like, this is just really being chickeny.

Speaker 2 But it's not enough for you to become a vegan.

Speaker 1 Well, no, I have my ancestors and I have some.

Speaker 2 You're not going to have the veal managoti.

Speaker 1 Wait, it's so funny because my dad does always call me and is always like, do you ever order a steak? Do you ever have a nice steak?

Speaker 2 I'm like, really? Anna Winter like eats a steak for lunch every day. Really?

Speaker 1 I do crave like red meat sometimes.

Speaker 2 Okay, but you can't eat chicken and eggs. Those are the two things.

Speaker 1 I'm not bad with eggs right now, but chicken is me and chicken are taking a little bit of a break. Like, I ordered salmon last night.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I was like, I don't know. I can't like eat chicken.
I need to do like a burger.

Speaker 2 One bad chicken, like to root in the whole freaking day. It's normally the chicken on a salad that does it for me.

Speaker 2 And I hate salad, but then you bite into one of these like rubbery pieces of chicken that they like, who knows what alien chickens are.

Speaker 1 Well, I hate a warm salad. I hate when they put warm chicken on lettuce and then it warms up that lettuce.
Yeah. That'll make me, that'll make me punch a wall.
That'll make me turn into a man.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'll, I'll get a, I'll get hormonal over that.

Speaker 2 I do feel like I go in chicken, like I'm obsessed with chicken and then I like can't eat chicken and then I'm obsessed with it. Or I can only do breaded chicken.

Speaker 1 We can only do it fried.

Speaker 2 Sorry. You ever like can only eat fried foods?

Speaker 1 You know, it's funny. The doctor tells me you can only have fried like when you go to weddings, they're like any

Speaker 1 dietary restrictions and it's always like super healthy.

Speaker 2 imagine me and you being like sorry like i do have a dietary restriction like if there's no focacia bread i will be hypoglynic allergies at the table i need garlic bread or i'm gonna fucking lose it i need an assortment of cheeses immediately people don't talk about enough how people have gotten a little too serious with the allergy stuff i know people are like hen people have allergies The way they scare the fuck out of you when they get to the table and they go, does anyone have any allergies here?

Speaker 2 And you're like, nope. They come back two seconds later.
They're like, Are you sure that no one's? And I'm like, How many people have died at this restaurant?

Speaker 1 Or have you ever had the opposite where like food's coming out, and like you know, people have allergies there, and you're just and they're like kind of nonchalant about it, and they'll be like, Oh my god, any nuts in here?

Speaker 1 And you're like, No, this is like a pine nut dessert.

Speaker 2 I know my friend is like very gluten intolerant, and she'll be like, Is there gluten in it? And you could tell when the person's like, I don't give a fuck. And I'm like, Oh, this is gonna end better.

Speaker 1 No, but my mom hosting Thanksgiving and like having people that like aren't in our family, she's one of the funniest people because she'll look you dead in the eye and say, I got nothing here for you.

Speaker 1 I got nothing. I don't know what you want me to do.
I have nothing here. You're going to have to bring your own.
No, that's not. Like, people will come with their own

Speaker 2 stuff. This is the thing.
In the Italian culture, it's disrespectful to not eat the food. I don't care if you're going to have an allergic reaction to yourself.
I don't care.

Speaker 2 I once had a boyfriend who, for religious reasons, could not eat.

Speaker 2 That just sounds so funny.

Speaker 2 Like, also, he didn't even go to town. He's like, I'm Wiccan.
He just, he couldn't eat. He couldn't eat.
He was kosher, so he couldn't eat shrimps. Yep.
Or crustaceans. Yep.

Speaker 1 Like, they don't eat any like bottom feeder food species.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Or, or, I guess, pork.

Speaker 1 Or like meat with cheese.

Speaker 2 And I think we went to get Chinese with my parents for like the first thing. And my dad's all about, we got fried rice.
We got fried rice. And it's like shrimp fried rice.

Speaker 2 I'm getting Chinese food tonight. No, I know.
And he didn't eat it. And my dad was like offended.

Speaker 1 The first time I ever realized what kosher was, I was out on a date

Speaker 1 and I was like 22, 23.

Speaker 1 And this guy, he took me to an Italian restaurant and they bring out a meat and cheese board.

Speaker 1 And I'm the only one snacking. And I'm like, you have to try this.
He's like, no, no, no, I can't eat it. And I'm like, okay.

Speaker 1 but like eat it and then i started to get pissed off because i was like no like now i feel uncomfortable then he explained to me that he was jewish and kosher and he was like that he could never have lobster

Speaker 1 and that really was the day that like my dreams of being charlotte york like went right down the toilet because i was like i can't live my life never having a sandwich with cheese and meat on it.

Speaker 2 Well, that's the thing. Like I loved bacon, egg, and cheeses because I live in New York City and that's the religion.
Right. So my religion and his religion were like

Speaker 2 clashing. And I remember I ordered bacon, egg, and cheese and he went,

Speaker 2 and I was like, he scoffed? He scoffed. And I said, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 I'm sorry. I'm from Brooklyn, New York.
This is like, this is how I, what? This is what I do.

Speaker 1 I hate a scoff.

Speaker 2 He scoffed. And then we got dinner once.
And then I was like, let's go to get ice cream because, again,

Speaker 2 right, you're a human.

Speaker 1 And he was like, no.

Speaker 2 And I'm like, no. But, like, they can't have dairy after meat.

Speaker 2 Are you kosher? No. Okay, I thought he was because he could explain it.

Speaker 2 There's a lot of rules.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there's a lot of rules.

Speaker 2 There's a lot of rules. And as you know, we can't be managed.

Speaker 1 And I hand it to people that like really stick to the rules, but I feel like most of my friends don't.

Speaker 2 They're like, I have to try it. I'm having the bacon.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to tell anyone.

Speaker 2 I actually wrote this down and I might have manifested this, but I felt like you needed. You were, I just felt like mentally you were like in a place.

Speaker 2 And I wrote down, Paige needs music.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 And I saw your note and I was like,

Speaker 1 and I noted your note. I mental noted the note that you noted.

Speaker 1 And I was like, Are Hannah and my mom in cahoots together? Because that same day,

Speaker 1 my mom sent me a classical

Speaker 1 classical music from like Chopin or something.

Speaker 1 No, I don't even know. I have to find what it was.

Speaker 2 Jonathan Chopin. No, it was like Bach.

Speaker 1 It was like the shoot, my phone dodge. Your phone does.

Speaker 1 Some like Itali, some like Italian concerto is the the name of it Italian concerto by Bach and she said

Speaker 1 they say that people who are depressed should listen to this so you should listen

Speaker 1 like I'm not saying you're depressed like a stat it was like people are less depressed if they listen to this like Italian concerto the other day I'm like in my kitchen They do that to babies to like make their brain No, I'm like I'm like unloading my dishwasher like doing something and I just like

Speaker 1 and I just like turned it on and I was like try and then I I saw your note and I was like what is going on that's so weird also people who are like full depressed aren't unloading their dishwasher

Speaker 2 so that's a good thing so that's a plus um as your new therapist since you go to them but what happened is I had one of those days where like I added some new songs and I was excited about them and I put my little earbuds in and there was something about like it was like a beautiful day and you know those moments in life where for a second I was like oh i'm happy everything's perfect yeah and then you get scared you're like ah and then you think of something but like for a moment you're like oh, this is really cool.

Speaker 2 I was like, I was bouncing. I was like, I felt like I was in a rom-com.
And I was just like, she is a working person.

Speaker 1 You're like, no, I'm like having fun. Yeah, like great.

Speaker 2 Things are going well for her in this time of the movie before everything goes to shit.

Speaker 2 And then I just remembered you being like, I don't like music.

Speaker 1 I don't not like it.

Speaker 2 But like,

Speaker 2 let's be honest. You're never like, you know what would make this better? Music.

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 2 It's funny that because you're right.

Speaker 1 Because when there are times where like, like, it's normal there should be music playing like a perfect example is when i'm getting glam when i'm getting glam or i'm getting ready for anything to like go anywhere normal people put music on i don't because i'm gos goss gos gos gossiping honey i got

Speaker 2 to say i'm talking it's true actually i would um my teammates in college would want to go for like runs with me because i like to talk yeah and they wouldn't talk but they like that i would talk while they're running yeah because it would like entertain them and i'd just be like you're probably so much more fit because you were like working out.

Speaker 1 And you're like, your lungs were so intrigued.

Speaker 2 Literally, they'd be like, go for a jog, and I want to hear what's going on in your life. And I'd be like,

Speaker 2 but because I don't want to be stuck with my own thoughts. I want to either be expressing them or listening to music.

Speaker 2 But there's like stats that show like you work out better when you're listening to music. Like it gives you these natural endorphins.
I never fully understood when musicians were like.

Speaker 2 Music changed my life. I was always like, okay, come on.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's like a little dramatic.

Speaker 2 Mary had a little lamp, calm down. Right.
But then I realized it's just like scientific that it changes your mood.

Speaker 1 It helps your mood.

Speaker 2 Like getting ready playlist. Yeah.
Like when you're with your girls and you just put it on, like that's the most fun part of the night before you go outside and have to deal with like creepos.

Speaker 1 Here is, I feel like why I don't ever is because I do have so much anxiety that like I love being in silence.

Speaker 2 Well, it's like you want to figure out your problems. Yeah.
And you're like, I can figure it out.

Speaker 1 I'm like, I can't listen to something else. Like that's going to distract me.
Like I have to like do my box box breathing.

Speaker 2 I can't box breathe to ice spice right now.

Speaker 2 I do have to say Meg the Stallion hiss got me through the anxiety of shooting my special. I had it on repeat because I needed my thoughts to shut up and it was just like.

Speaker 1 Was this from your musical therapist or this was your own accord? It was both.

Speaker 1 Is that really what your therapist was like?

Speaker 2 She was trying everything. She was like,

Speaker 2 she was just throwing stuff to see what stuck. She was like, why aren't you just fucking.
She's like, what if we just sang a song?

Speaker 2 ABCs, happy birthday, anything that makes you feel comfortable.

Speaker 2 But yeah, I think just like listening to music to some of those moments that you end up spiraling could be helpful.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 1 I've taken up classical music.

Speaker 2 Imagine going to your house. It's just booming bach.

Speaker 2 I did date a jazz musician back in my day. You guys remember him? And if you're an OG giggler, and I'd go in his car and we were like early 20s and he was always just playing jazz.

Speaker 2 But like not even with words, like just jazz. Obviously.
But like, you know, does any jazz have words? Yeah, like really holiday. So it was literally just musicians like.

Speaker 2 And like he didn't even know like top 40. And I thought he was so cool.
I thought he was so fucking cool. I was like, do you know who Neo is? And he's like, no.

Speaker 1 You know what's funny? I've never been attracted to like any musicians.

Speaker 2 He was my only musician, but he also was a great athlete.

Speaker 2 So he tricked me. And he,

Speaker 2 I haven't dated a musician since.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I feel like they're not to be trusted.

Speaker 2 I've dated people who think they're musicians. Right.

Speaker 2 And that's. They've had an ikel.
And that's even worse. Yes.

Speaker 1 No, that's 10 times worse.

Speaker 2 I do love a rapper. Everybody loves their hometown rapper.
Any level of rapper, too.

Speaker 1 No, there's like something really niche and like lovable about your hometown rapper that never made it. And like, you're someday you're going to do something great.
But like, I love

Speaker 2 a hometown rapper. Are they going to do something great no like i just like love thinking about them i want to do a documentary of where is your hometown rapper now

Speaker 1 that's it would be on mtv and it would almost be like a version of like made yeah like we're gonna make you into and it's like really of a follow series like a follow-up from like all those people i missed where's your hometown rapper made

Speaker 2 The way I was invested in these people's glow-ups.

Speaker 1 When you talk about like

Speaker 1 things like 20 years ago that like would have like wouldn't be cool now like I feel like definitely stuff on that show I feel

Speaker 2 made yeah they would be like I want to be a gymnast and then they would just like like torture this poor kid great then you have to work out for 7,000 hours and they would just do it and the kids crying and they're throwing up and you're like okay like if you want to be a gymnast is what you have to do.

Speaker 2 I want to do a made of where all these made people are now and they're like the trauma I dealt with from that show has never left me.

Speaker 1 No, I used to love it and I wanted to always like be made into like a cheerleader or or something.

Speaker 2 Weren't you a cheerleader?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but like this was like I was little, I feel like when this came out. Yeah.
Like we were younger.

Speaker 2 We were the brigadon generation though. So like cheerleading was like cool.

Speaker 2 I had a free day today up until this point and I'm like, what do I do? What do I do? So I went to my documentaries and I watched two of like the most disturbing documentaries I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 Which ones?

Speaker 2 Kevin Spacey has a new documentary. Ooh, on what? Spacey

Speaker 2 Unmasked on Max.

Speaker 2 I didn't like, I didn't watch House of Cards. Sorry if I can't.
I didn't either.

Speaker 2 Judge.

Speaker 2 I didn't watch that. I didn't watch American Beauty.

Speaker 1 I didn't watch American Beauty.

Speaker 2 I just haven't watched anything he was in, really.

Speaker 1 He's always done like

Speaker 2 like weirder stuff like thrillers or like he was always just like an old mole rat looking dude to me yeah american beauty is weird i need to watch it he's like in love with am i allowed to watch it now like i don't even know what the rules are allowed to watch it he's in love with his daughter's friend who's like 17 years old don't give it away she's a high school girl don't give away what happens My nana would always be like, I'm not going to tell you what happens, but everyone dies.

Speaker 2 And I'm like, oh my God. I'd be like, that's every time.

Speaker 2 She'd be like, I'm not gonna do it but when he does get cancer it's not great

Speaker 1 i feel like that is me because i'm always like i don't think that's the movie for you because like you're not gonna like it because this is what happens she goes but i'm like i'm trying to warn you yeah you're not gonna like it until she becomes homecoming queen i'm not gonna give you what happens though that didn't matter though that is the whole story though here's the other thing i do like craig always wants to watch shows together because he like wants to bond yeah he's like a nice human he's like a normal person trying to have a mutual experience with you.

Speaker 1 Trying to be in a relationship with me. And I'm like, it was tough.
So every time I watch something without him, I just go, Craig, you would have literally hated it.

Speaker 2 I guess like the fact.

Speaker 1 And he's like, oh, really? Like, is it like scary? And like, I'm like, yeah. And there's like, they cheat on each other and it's like not nice and they're mean to each other.

Speaker 1 Really, you would have a, you wouldn't like it. And he's like, oh, thanks.

Speaker 2 He's like, okay, good. Now I'm not going to watch.

Speaker 1 I'm like, I'm already like five episodes in D.

Speaker 2 See, Des gets mad at me because he'll sometimes go ahead, but he'll be like, oh, like, I'll rewatch it again with you.

Speaker 1 I'm so down to re-watch.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's how it does. Like, you guys are the same.
But my thing is, I go, actually, I didn't really even care to watch in the first place. I was watching it because you were into.

Speaker 2 Like, there's some shows I will only watch with Des. And he's like, you could watch it when I'm gone.
We could watch it separately. I don't give a shit about it.

Speaker 2 Like, Breaking Bad, I'm going to say it.

Speaker 1 You don't care about it.

Speaker 2 Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 It's just like, yeah, I can, I can acknowledge a good show. Yeah.
But like, it's so much stress.

Speaker 1 It's a lot of anxiety. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And then the violence on top of it, I, that scares me. I'm like, I'm like a

Speaker 2 empath. So like I feel like

Speaker 2 everything.

Speaker 1 I feel like I like those shows because it makes me feel better about my anxiety.

Speaker 2 That's why I want to say that. Like murder.
You're running from the cops.

Speaker 1 Like I'm just running from like outfits. Like I just don't want to pick out seven outfits this week.
You're worried about getting blown up. So I feel like that makes me, it does my anxiety.

Speaker 2 And then he gets mad at me because he's like, did you finish it? And I'm like, no. And he's like, you have like two episodes left.
And I'm like, I don't care.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the thing about you.

Speaker 2 You and Craig do the same thing.

Speaker 1 You'll just never watch the season finale.

Speaker 2 No one can make me.

Speaker 1 Like, Craig still hasn't watched the Yellowstone season finale, and it drives me up a fucking wall.

Speaker 2 See, this is America. We're freedom to do or not do whatever we want.
Okay.

Speaker 2 But there's no order in it.

Speaker 1 That's, I think, why me and Des, like, there has to be some type of order. You watch the whole first season, you finish it.

Speaker 2 Like, for me, it's a fuck you to the system. Also, you know what it is? I don't want to be disappointed.

Speaker 1 And I feel like you're like, I could have wrote that episode. I could have written the end of that.
Like, I know it's happening. I know it's going to happen.

Speaker 2 Game of Thrones never watched the ending because people said it was shit. So why would I put myself through that?

Speaker 1 I never really even watched that show.

Speaker 2 It was just like a lot emotionally. That's a lot.

Speaker 1 That's a lot emotional.

Speaker 2 So Kevin Spacey's.

Speaker 1 Okay, so that documentary.

Speaker 2 Basically, like he's basically was scared to come out, had a really fucked up home life, and is like super touchy-feely with a lot of men throughout his life. Yeah.
In like a not consensual way, yeah.

Speaker 2 And then I was like, okay, that was just a warm-up. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's called like fallen idols, and it's about Nick Carter and Aaron Carter. Wow.
And that's a match recently.

Speaker 2 And I'm just, where have I been with like the Nick Carter stuff?

Speaker 1 Oh, and how he's like a literal psychopath.

Speaker 2 Well, it's all alleged, but like multiple girls are just coming out being like he just like bad, bad things. And they kind of made it.
They're just scary.

Speaker 2 They made it like Aaron Carter was trying to be like a whistleblower to be like my older brother's fucked up.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And their whole family dynamics. He crazy.

Speaker 1 Remember he like dated Paris Hilton for like two seconds? Yeah.

Speaker 2 And then like she it showed that she had been like hurt. Yeah.
So anyway, I do not want to spread stuff, but like I always liked in sync and I knew there was a reason. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I knew there was a reason. No.

Speaker 2 But also,

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 1 We don't have the time.

Speaker 2 This is the thing. At the end of the day, we hate a music.
Lance Bass

Speaker 2 can do no wrong. Right.
I love Lance Day. We love Lance Pass.
There are two types of girls. Girls who had a crush on

Speaker 2 Lance Pass.

Speaker 1 I was one of them.

Speaker 2 That is so funny. You did.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That is so funny. And I feel like that shaped a lot of like my next boyfriends.

Speaker 2 I was like, you're a gay.

Speaker 1 And I should have known. Because I used to have a crush on Lance Fast.

Speaker 1 And I should have known. I did it to myself.

Speaker 2 You like guys who are temper centers.

Speaker 1 Or more. I like to keep myself on my toes.

Speaker 2 I like to be like, is it because like you're so girly?

Speaker 1 No, Hannah. Any time in my 20s that I ever had the thought of, oh, he might be gay, I never went into it thinking he was gay.

Speaker 1 It just, you know, one time you find yourself at dinner and then the next minute you find yourself with someone putting a pillow over your face saying, I can't look at you.

Speaker 1 Like, you don't know how you get in those situations But no, I didn't actively seek gay men not to like brag

Speaker 2 Not to overanalyze it, but like maybe you went for like guys who were kind of gay because you were emotionally

Speaker 2 Una unavailable. Yeah.
And a gay man's the ultimate emotionally unavailable. And if he was like hot and dressed well, you were like done.
Easy. I think that's what it was.

Speaker 2 Because I would go for emotionally unavailable men who had just horrible personalities and I would carry the conversation because

Speaker 1 i can i think i went for men that use a lot of hair product and i don't know why that is so funny but if i pinpoint it back to something they all had similar hair products they would blow dry their hair

Speaker 2 all had blow dryers two types of men men who

Speaker 2 types of men men who blow dry and men who don't

Speaker 2 wait hannah that needs to be written down somewhere write it no that needs it written if someone can write write it down write that down write that down in your notes because that's so fucking true because i could go through all of my boyfriends who used a blow dryer and like like it was their idea to use a blow dryer they're not right and also it's alarming the moment you realize you hear it and you go oh that's coming from my boyfriend that's not my roommate that's not me wait there's a moment where you go oh he's one of those and then you're like you get the igg and you get there for a second and then you're like oh it's just a blow drum that's just a blow dryer men have to always do that yeah it's like they're jelly they have hair gel they're just drying it like it's not like a full you gaslight yourself out of it we just cracked a really big

Speaker 2 code blow dryer boyfriends blow dryer boyfriends the red flag it i

Speaker 1 think it is yes i think it is i'm fine with gel i'm fine with gel here's the thing i'm actually fine with um i'm actually fine with craig because i brought a blow dryer into the home he never had one i brought one in for myself

Speaker 1 He doesn't use it unless I'm there because it's out and then he sees it and I'll be like, can I use it? How do you know though?

Speaker 2 And he doesn't know how to do it. How do do you know when you're not there what he does?

Speaker 1 Because I know. I feel like you're making excuses for yourself.
No, because here's the only reason why I know. It's tied up.
He's not putting it back.

Speaker 2 Tied up.

Speaker 1 Okay, good. So he's only using it when he sees it.
So we're half.

Speaker 2 We're not completely happy. Men are so funny with their hair.

Speaker 2 I had this Guido roommate. Shout out to Corey.

Speaker 2 Dave was bald. Otherwise, he would be doing it too.
But Corey would get his hair done every Thursday.

Speaker 2 and we'd be texting like hey do you want to like meet up and he'd be like i met the hair guy and he'd go all the way to the bronx for his hair guide corey was actually so iconic people don't talk about him enough yeah he had that fuck he was like the ultimate fuckboy yep and i like to keep fuckboys close that's why he was my roommate i wanted to understand the fuckboy brain doing research for the i feel like every time i've ever been out with him i've like at some point in the night he's been in the corner just like smiling with a different girl like but he had that fuckboy haircut that was like to the side and then they they had that line.

Speaker 2 It was like very peaky blinders, kind of, yeah, and like the fade, yeah, kind of like Travis Kelsey, kind of, but this was years ago. And I said, Corey, like, where'd you get that hairdo idea?

Speaker 2 And he goes, you know, I actually started it. It was like copying me.

Speaker 2 He goes, in the Bronx, I did it, my boy did it, then he did it, then they did it.

Speaker 2 He's like the kind of guy that'll just call you a name and it's the wrong name, and he'll just call you it the whole night, and you'll be like, okay,

Speaker 2 you're Harriet, come over here. I like you.

Speaker 2 But the sweetest, the sweetest.

Speaker 1 He's so nice. Is he married now?

Speaker 2 I think so. Yeah.

Speaker 2 He didn't have a wedding. That's why.
I think he had like a little like COVID thing. But anyway, every Thursday, he got his boy.
And like, that's, I think, where the men gossip.

Speaker 1 That is where the men gossip.

Speaker 2 Or they at least hear other situations.

Speaker 1 I also don't trust men.

Speaker 2 Shave your head.

Speaker 2 If we're good again.

Speaker 1 I don't need to shave my head because I don't want to put a wig on every day. I just want, it's kind of like my baby bump that like I'm going to use as an accessory.

Speaker 1 Like on a Saturday night, if I'm going out to dinner, I want to have the option to be blonde with my outfit.

Speaker 2 I also feel like you've had so many good looks that you keep trying to like outdo yourself.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because it's like fun.

Speaker 2 And at some point, you're like, I've done all the looks I can as a brunette and you want to go harder.

Speaker 1 No, like I enjoy the creative process of like, if I like my outfit, then like, what's my hair and makeup gonna be?

Speaker 1 And I feel like I'm obsessed with Taylor and Mitchell so much that we're always like, we didn't get it. Like, we love this look.
Like, this is so good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So we're always texting each other like different hair looks and makeup looks harder to like save for a day a rainy day.

Speaker 2 I'll get you home.

Speaker 1 No, I'm not getting into

Speaker 1 I'm going all the way to the upper west side. I can't be in a Prius the whole time.

Speaker 2 It's so far. You'd be lucky to be in a Prius.
It's environmentally friendly.

Speaker 2 Oh, continuing. Pumped up volume.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I hate that hair.

Speaker 2 I do have to say, some people would try to do my hair with volume and I look like a dance mom.

Speaker 1 No, I don't like...

Speaker 1 I like volume, but I don't like it the way that Miley Cyrus has it. And from the

Speaker 2 beginning, you love this. You look good.
Flirty flips at the end. I love that.
I feel like me with a flip doesn't make sense. Why? Because you have the energy I'm giving to this world.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 1 Because it's the energy you don't want to give. But, like, if you wanted to try it, you could, I'm getting you a wig made.

Speaker 1 That's in.

Speaker 2 When

Speaker 2 next episode, we're in wigs and we don't acknowledge it. We very seriously do the budget as we do.
Yes. And we just next is Super Long Bangs like Sabrina Carpenter.
Yeah, I love that.

Speaker 2 Did you see her music video? Yes.

Speaker 1 What do you think? I think that they

Speaker 1 nobody's talking about how how freaking tiny they are.

Speaker 1 I just know

Speaker 1 they're the cutest little freaking pip squeak couple I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 1 I get cute aggression

Speaker 1 when I see them.

Speaker 1 Why do I feel like they're three feet tall?

Speaker 2 No, he was trying to sit on the car, but he like couldn't get onto the car.

Speaker 1 He can't reach it. And she's so freaking tiny, too.

Speaker 1 Like she gives me ariana grande vibes like when ariana grande first like came yeah on the scene it's funny because some people are so tiny like kim kardashian's 5'1 or 5'3 something small yeah but doesn't look like doesn't read that short like on tv and in certain things sabrina carpenter reads like mini mouse yes like

Speaker 2 so adorable but and then he that is a little man that's That's a little baby. This little baby boy.

Speaker 2 Put him on your back like a backpack.

Speaker 1 No, that's a toddler. That's toddlers on tiaras right there.

Speaker 1 But I love them.

Speaker 1 I feel like they're freaky.

Speaker 2 But the whole concept of the song was basically like, okay, if I'm gonna go public with you, don't fucking embarrass me.

Speaker 1 And if I had a freaking nickel.

Speaker 2 But I do have to say, I do think that's a red flag if that's the first thought.

Speaker 2 going into the relationship is hey just a reminder don't be who you are because it actually is cringeworthy as fuck and you you could really ruin my whole brand and i have a lot writing on i feel like once a month craig gets a text from me being like well uh just a reminder i'll kill you okay

Speaker 2 but honestly it's good for the men no it's good for them they need actually

Speaker 2 it's so reverse in my relationship it's does being like hey just a reminder

Speaker 2 these are the rules

Speaker 2 That keeps me in fucking line that man,

Speaker 2 thank you.

Speaker 2 So yeah, I can't pull off bangs. Isn't that okay? I can't.

Speaker 2 And not to bring negativity, but I just don't don't believe in my.

Speaker 1 But you're a redhead. So like you don't need to do anything else but be a redhead.
Like that. Yeah.
That's your journey right now.

Speaker 2 Dez said he likes how I look natural.

Speaker 2 And I said, I like. This is just for fun.
I said, it's a bit.

Speaker 1 Also, what is natural?

Speaker 2 Also, it's not like going platinum.

Speaker 1 Right. You're literally the same color.

Speaker 2 Also, he didn't even notice it until I said something. And then he goes, I like you natural.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he doesn't know. He doesn't know.
No.

Speaker 2 I think he's colorblind.

Speaker 2 I think he's pretending to know.

Speaker 1 People with blue eyes, I feel like, are. Yeah.
I just made that up.

Speaker 2 Well, no, I think it's true. Is it true? I don't know.
But I know people's blue eyes are like sensitive to the sun, which is kind of like, how did you make it this far?

Speaker 2 Like on a sunny day, you can't you're just weak you can't make it how did we get imagine you're somewhere and your boyfriend's like I can't see it you know like the ick I get from him being like sorry my eyes are yeah

Speaker 2 my eyes are so piercing blue that they hurt if my boyfriend oh this is the thing i love a piercing blue man a piercing eye blue man yeah and they are weak i'll tell you they're weak but maybe that's why i like them oh and speaking of does we just had a fun episode of burner phone where we talk about people submitted movies that we should see have you ever seen drop dead gorgeous yes I've never seen it.

Speaker 2 You would like it. And everyone recommended it.

Speaker 1 That's so funny that everyone recommended it because it's, I feel like no one ever talks about it.

Speaker 2 No one talks about it, but the cast is incredible.

Speaker 1 The only reason I know about it is because I used to date a guy in my early 20s and his dad was in like Screen Actors Guild and like wrote.

Speaker 2 Can I humble Bragg?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't, honestly. He was like, his dad was very funny.

Speaker 1 And so he would always get like movies and they always just had really good movies and they all knew like funny movies and they had seen them all.

Speaker 1 So when I met him, my movie repertoire like completely changed. And that was one of like the first movies I watched.

Speaker 2 I have to watch it also. Yeah.
I have to announce to the Academy something embarrassing. I've never seen Rome and Michelle.
Me neither. And everyone tells us that

Speaker 2 we tell them.

Speaker 1 I've never watched it. I've seen like parts.
I've never watched it start to finish.

Speaker 2 I've seen memes of it. Me too.

Speaker 1 And I've seen like their outfit.

Speaker 2 And people are like, you guys are so Romeo and Michelle. And I go, I know.

Speaker 1 I think it's because they're blondes that I never like identified with it because I was like, I don't see myself in this representation in this movie because I don't care.

Speaker 2 Also, who do you think hurt me that I love blonde men?

Speaker 1 My brother. That's too much to unpack for me.

Speaker 2 My brother's blonde.

Speaker 1 Is he?

Speaker 2 Not really.

Speaker 1 He's like dirty brown. He's like mousy brown.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he was blonde. People don't talk enough about people who don't shut up about how they used to be blonde as a kid.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like I was born blonde.

Speaker 2 And it's like, I don't care. I don't care what your hair is.

Speaker 1 Well, because they have like a real struggle with it because like they're born blonde and then one day they're just not blonde anymore.

Speaker 1 And so I think that's like an internal thing they're dealing with.

Speaker 2 It's really difficult. Yeah.
Their identity.

Speaker 1 Even if they have blue eyes, they can't even see. Most people might have speak because I literally lost vision 20 minutes ago.

Speaker 2 I love how you lost your vision, but so casually just walking around the city.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm just like, I don't think this is the way I should be seeing. I'm like, this something's wrong.
And I'm always like, my first thought is like, you're having a stroke. So figure it out.

Speaker 1 And Grace broke her face, just a reminder.
