In this episode, Paige and Hannah candidly discuss their recent Botox complications, which have left them unable to smile normally, and they joke about the awkwardness while appreciating the support from their "gigglers" fanbase. They navigate life abroad, sharing chaotic stories from Italy and Toronto, including awkward sauna encounters with strangers, getting stuck in a Pride parade while rushing to a spray tan appointment, and struggling with hotel amenities and time zone math. The duo also critiques reality TV, particularly "Love Island," where they highlight concerning behavior from male contestants, and "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders," which they find dark and overly controlling. They vent about broader frustrations, such as the lack of research funding for endometriosis compared to male baldness, and mock internet drama like the "cake pop" recipe dispute. Hannah shares a mental health tip about sitting with emotions rather than immediately reacting, which resonates with both. Throughout, they maintain their signature humor, balancing self-deprecating jokes with heartfelt moments about friendship and resilience. The episode ends with them teasing a hypothetical audition for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, imagining harsh Southern coaches critiquing them, before signing off with love to their listeners.
(upbeat music) - Sup, giggler? - Very picture Wi-Fi. - Man, it's a picture. We can't be manners. (laughing) (upbeat music) - I'm in the day just got away from me. - Hello, my grimacing gigglers. - Okay, what does that mean? - Grimiss is this. - Okay. - That's me smiling. It's a grimiss. - Yeah, okay. - We've started a movement. It's soft smile summer. The girls aren't smiling. To people please, we're just being ourselves. And if you don't smile, people still love you. I don't know, I just made that up. - How are you? - I haven't smiled once in Solidarity. - That's a lie, 'cause you've posted two TikToks smiling at the end, and it was giving. You don't care about your best friend. I was like, "Oh, okay, just attack me to my face." - I have been thinking about you a lot. - I know, you know what I'm going through, and you decided to smile in two out of two alpha talks. Crazy. And people noticed the other night, I FaceTime Tana, and it was actually so sad, because she goes, "I haven't been able to give my real smile all day because I don't want to scare people. And now that I get to laugh with you on FaceTime, it's so freeing." - No, I'll see you guys, I'm at my job. - Yeah. - The news is it's going well, 'cause I'm like leaning into being serious, but I can't smile, 'cause it makes me look like I'm crying, and it freaks people out, so I like have to hold it in until I get back to my hotel room with them just like, "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha." - You know what? I'm actually really proud of us though, because I feel like whenever we go through something, also I've been shitting my brains out here. - Yeah, I don't want to bring it up. - We make it acceptable for the girls to just beat themselves. - Well, it's so cool that we say something that's so depressing and sad, and then all the gigglers are like, "I feel less alone, this happened to me," or, "This isn't happening to me, "but I at least can laugh at you." The fact that some people literally, I was in the darkest depression, and then I watched the YouTube of you trying to smile, and it brought me out of it, and I'm like, "It was worth it." It was worth it. - It was worth it. Stab me a million times. But my feed now, every nurse, doctor, practitioner, is now doing videos about what happened to me. - Trying to help me. - Which is kind of great because I'm getting all this free advice, but all the advice is like, "You fucked." - Yeah. You have a couple months. - And some of them are like, "This was extremely rare. "How did this happen to both Paige and Hannah "within a couple months?" - How our ops are working over time. - But also, I feel like nurses are nervous, 'cause they're like, "Hey guys, Botox isn't as horrible "as Paige and Hannah are making it seem. "They just have really bad luck." And I'm like, "Okay, well, the math isn't mathing." - No. - This statistics that me and my best friend, in the course of three months, had a Botox mishap. - This was the third time I did "Mastertor." So I'm one for three. You're one or two, right? - Yeah. - You're one for one. - One of two. - One of two. - Okay, so that's two out of five. That's almost half. - You've lost. - Sorry, I've actually tapped out. - It's 40%. Wait, by the way. - 40%. - Being in Toronto, I forgot to tell you, I got to my flight early. And then I looked at when the flight was boarding and it said, "2010." And in that moment, I was like, "I'm not gonna make it." 'Cause, like, the second it's a meal, once you're in the 20s. Like, I feel like 15, I could do the math, but once you're in the 20s, that's like you've lost me. - It's the next day, at that point, it's the next day. - And then I realized, the recent menu podcasting when you're in Italy, totally fun, totally easy, the hard part is we can't do math. So I'll be like, "Page, I'm free at 4 p.m." And she's like, "Don't know when that is." - I'm like, "Cool, cool." - Somebody tried to schedule a Zoom with me and Josephine was like, "Hey, they want to do it." And I go, "Okay, if they're in California, we're fucked." I was like, "You tell them, pick a time "and I'll see if I'll be there." - If I had to carry a one to get to that time, we're not doing it. So again, now we're just like, "Hey, are you free in the next 20 minutes?" And if we're not, then we just wait. We haven't set one time. Also, I was running on the treadmill. I was bragging to you how fast I was running. - Uh-huh, 'cause you're fast twitch muscle. - Turns out I wasn't running miles per hour. I was running running kilometers per hour. - Okay, I sit on the scale here and it's in kilograms and I go, "Yeah, I like that number." (laughing) You know what, I'm not even gonna convert that because that seems nice. - No, I thought I was like an Olympian. I go, "Wow, I jogged once and I'm running at nine for seven minutes." I actually was like so, I was like, "Holy shit, I'm a. " I was Kendall Jenner, I was like, "I'm athletic, so genetically athletic." But babe, "Besana Life?" - It's been a lot. - I love "Besana." How many minutes are you going in for? - Well, this is the thing, there's "Besana" at my hotel, but it's not like a full person "Besana." It's like two people, I mean, it's two people. Like it's not like a big "Besana." So I keep having these "Besana" interactions, which I didn't know was legal. The first one sit down, a man comes in, and I'm like, should I call the police? Like, is that, are you, I'm in the "Besana"? Like, why would you call my "Besana"? Turns to me goes, "Hey, really liked your special?" - Another man? - It must have been on the background of his girlfriend. Is it like living room? - How are they finding us? - Okay, that's not right or cool. Then the next day, I'm in the "Besana" watching Wimbledon and these two are gossiping, gossiping. They turned to me, they go, "Sorry, what time is it?" I look up, I'm like, I can't read military time, I don't know. And 37, 42, who the fuck knows? And the guy was a gay glare. He turns to me, goes, "Oh, Hannah Brenner." Oh my God. So I'm two for two, starts asking me about all the tea going on. And I said, "Look, what happens in the "Sana" stays in the "Sana" so I'm gossiping. - Yeah. - They get out, "Sana" yesterday. There was a girl in like, it's by the pool, wearing a full thong in the "Sana". Like, I guess bathing suits are like that now. I go in, there's a huge, like, but mark for sitting in the "Sana". - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - That's disgusting. - No, I was like, I'm kind of, "Sana" culture, I don't understand yet. It's freaking me out. - I got into a fight in the "Sana" one time. - What happened? - Okay, I go into this, I'm in a building. I'm in like an apartment building. It's a communal sauna. It's, but girl, it's in like a girl's locker room. So it's just women. But it's like a pretty big sauna. Like, it's two rows. If you really wanted to pack 10 people in there, you could. I work out in the gym and then I go into the locker room and I go in the "Sana". And I'm in my workout clothes and I kept my sneakers on. Okay, and I'm sitting there. My feet are on the ground. This woman comes in and she's wearing, she's also in like regular clothes, but no shoes. And she says to me, you know, it's really rude to come in with your sneakers on. People lay their heads down, like lay on these benches. And I turn to her and I go, "Well, that's disgusting, because this is a communal sauna and why would someone be laying their sweaty body down?" So I kept my sneakers on and was like, "That's where me and you are different? I would have been like, "I am so sorry, this is your culture. I don't understand your culture, I'm taking off my shoes. I love it." And then you sat there and looked at her the whole time. I was this close to being like, "And who the fuck are you to tell me what I'm gonna do in the goddamn sauna?" I go, "Well, that's disgusting, you shouldn't lay down in it." The sauna is full of people sweat. She was trying to tell me I was in like a health code violation. I was like, "No, no, lady, I think you were with your bare ass feet." I also said, I go, "Well, I would be nervous to not have socks and shoes on because that's how foot fungus spreads." So have off my dick, lady. I love all the women around you being like valid points are being made and I suddenly don't want to be here anymore. No, I feel like that's where COVID started. I'm like, I took this relaxing experience and just. Well, being in a small, hot space with strangers is my nightmare, and I've had three bad experiences. No, no, no. The second one was fun because we gossiped, but like, I was, I just want to watch Wimbledon. You're in a different place than you typically are, and I would say that like when people, when you're in a random situation and someone does want to talk to you, you're very happy and jolly, and you do want to engage, but you're going through a time right now. No, I know. Because you can't talk. That's your favorite thing to do is talk. No, I know. And I do have to say the one thing that's getting me through this and if we're being so real with each other.
Let's I'm getting so much attention Like if I wasn't getting attention you guys I would be like in a really really bad place But I go to sleep at night and I go at least people are talking about me At least people care enough and it's actually crazy because when it first started happening I was on tiktok and I found like two or three girls that it happened to and all these gurlis are now posting being like Hey, you guys remember when this happened to me. It's happening. I had a burner and the girl was so funny She's like Hannah burner. We got another diva down. She didn't look at my so we're kind of all bonding even merideth Which bonkitchen she said it happened to her making trainers said it happened to her and It's it even our people just not saying when it happens because they're embarrassed because when it happened to me I literally was I would tell everyone that would listen I feel like I know you don't know me so you don't know what my actual smile looks like but look at this because this ain't it like I wanted to tell everyone So I don't get it like I get the girls. It don't be embarrassed But the gigglers. Yeah, they're getting me through it by laughing and like people are telling me like Just that it's it made them happy and that makes like it really like for a month of sadness is cured for sure where I would have been really sad So yesterday we were trying to record you you were going through it. Are you okay? You know this is my karma for laughing in my tic-tocs while my friend can't move her face because we truly have switched positions. I was and You know, this is my own fault because I came onto the trip and I said I'm gonna eat a fuck ton on this trip You were determined I was determined and it takes me a couple days to like acclimate to anywhere like I can't and sometimes people will have this problem where like they can't go to the bathroom on vacation. I get the opposite where I'm like It's running through me to the point that last night we were at dinner and I said I looked at the table and I go Guys, I've had a lovely time, but if I don't run back to the room I will in fact shit myself here at the table. So it's been lovely, but I must I must jet So I literally was record after dinner so I'm like, hey, they haven't heard from you and she's like I literally physically can't get off the toilet right now Here's the worst part.

Yeah, so at my hotel. I'm here for three weeks. I realize I have to do laundry at the hotel I've never done this. Have you done this before honey? You know. I love an amenity at a hotel You want to know what I did this year? I checked in they bring our bags up. I called down. I go hey any chance you guys have an unpacking service They go Mr. Sorball of course. I go amazing. I'm gonna go to the pool And they're gonna and they're like great. We'll send someone up. I get changed I go to the pool. I have my day. I come back up on my clothes hanging Amazing lovely do yourself a favor Ask for that next time you're at a problem. I don't like calling people second of all So there's laundry bag. It says laundry. So I'm like, okay, I could do this, but then it has a slip I've already done two loads here. I have a huge thing of laundry I have to go through and tell them how many of each thing Well, you waited too long. You got to do it. You got to do it like once a week I'll do it after the pod. Okay, yeah, but it's gonna feel so good No, that's like one of the only slips I like filling out. I'm like I wasn't anticipating being in the sauna every day. So I only brought four t-shirts. No, you're a bidsby I want to say something about love Island. Let it out. I'm fully caught up on U.S I said I wasn't gonna do this, but here we are and I'm fully caught up because I can't be out of the loop of anything And you know what? I'm like you guys aren't even love real love Island fans. So like if anyone's gonna be in the combo. I'm gonna be
in the god is this a kidding oh my that's the ruining my life I've ever seen the bugs here big like they're meaty like they eat it all by I was watching like one of the most recent episodes and it's so interesting watching like obviously watching reality TV and especially like a game show type reality TV where they're in like this incubus where it's only what they're dealing with so there's this girl her name is Anaya she was coupled up with this guy his name is Casey they go to casa more blah blah blah whatever she comes she's like I'm gonna stay single hopefully he stayed single he doesn't he comes back with a girl they get in this like whole big thing whatever but there is a moment where she starts crying because he's come back with a girl and I have never watched a reality television show and cried because I you're not yeah that's just not something I would ever do I literally started tearing up because I knew I knew in my gut not only was she dealing with like this guy just being like the biggest asshole like honestly a lot of the men on love island this year because their Gen Z are very red-pilled and it's very scary and I don't think people are realizing it to the full potential like the way they talk about the girls doing sexual things is very very back in time like it's actually like concerning anyway that's a whole separate situation I digress but I could tell that I started tearing up because I could tell that she was crying because she wanted to be like and I'm being filmed right now like she was so frustrated and she was like and I'm on her shut like and everyone is watching this like you could tell it wasn't just about the guy it was about like and I I feel like I'm in jail because I can't like I want to leave I have to leave you and she's like this is fucking embarrassing and it didn't sign up to be embarrassed I signed up to like fine love fun and like yes and so there was I just felt so horrible for I literally started like I had a full-tier rundown my face because I was like I know exactly what you're feeling like I was almost like yeah go go go home like if you want to go home go home like I'm a very big proponent of like and I'll leave fuck you and I'm going home there are so many times I tried so should have left and I didn't because I sit told myself I'm not a quarter sometimes you should quit persevere I think with reality TV to like page and I aren't cryers and we've cried on TV many times because when there's a camera there everything feels so much more intense and serious serious and that's why when someone does something mean on camera it's so much meaner because you're like you know the whole world's gonna see you say that about me so like you want you want the whole world to think that about me there are so many times where you're like on camera are you on camera kidding me that came out of your mouth on camera and there are times I think too that you realize that not everyone is built like you because there would be situations where I like in my head I'd be like I would never fucking do that to you on camera look there's been horrible men on love islands since 2015 it's not like this is beginning a time yeah it's not like it's like a nuance thing but never once in my years of watching love island have I ever heard a man say or complain that the girl he is coupled up with is not doing enough sexual things with him and also the way the way the men disguise like well I'm just very affectionate well my love languages affection yeah no shit you want your dick sucked like we're not idiots yeah but the way they're talking about like the sexual acts that the girls are doing or not doing it's like hey they're on national television like I think it's a pretty plausible thing to not want a fuck on a television show I'm confused though are the guys wanting the girls to be more sexual or judging them for being sexual or both both so they want them to be more sexual with them but like if a girl explores more than one they're like really do you need to explore more than one person yet fucking love island that's the whole god damn point of the show they're they're talking to everyone wait what's with the it's called the clam shell drop or something the it's the split where she's it's called slamming the clam she's slamming her clam is that what they're calling it yeah that's what's coming up in my algorithm this the clam slam slam okay I actually don't hate that but yeah she does a lot of splits I'm so fucking jealous honestly I'm so fucking jealous if I could slam my clam oh and if you could do splits I'd actually have to re-evaluate our friendship we do know that's why I started watching Dallas cowboy cheerleaders yesterday and your thoughts honey I have I watched the whole for a season honey I'm so glad you didn't do it the way you did Mormon wives where you literally went backwards because that was diabolical yeah that confused me your one season in okay my thoughts are these women literally bring these cheerleaders out back and leave them for dead they're like oh did you gain three pounds fuck out of here they're like hey legally we can't tell you to lose weight but if we could we'd say look on the scale minus it by 40 I think it's because I watch the whole season in a day but yeah everyone's really sad like it's too depressing for me to watch because they're whether it's whether they're doing well they're like this is really sad and then if they're not doing well they're like this is really sad okay they're all if they're all so stressed and scared of missing like one pom pom routine and they're all overqualified they're all overqualified for what this gig is paying them obviously I kind of want someone to say to the you know how it's the two coaches and then the head woman have you met the head woman yeah yeah yeah yeah she's like in charge of Judy and the other lady she's Jerry Jones's daughter she's scary as fuck okay there's something really really terrifying about her and I don't know what it is it's rich people shit and it think it's her blue eyes like that's another realm that I've never been to she's such a billionaire that she doesn't understand like anything where the head the other head lady was like how do we tell this girl who's good enough that she can't make the team for no reason and she goes we have 36 girls yeah tell her 36 it's easy she's literally like you're ugly you're not making the team your hideous and okay look I love a makeover like I truly I love a makeover scene I love I'd love to give someone a makeover like I watch even like watching love Island like the girls are gorgeous but I'm like what if we like took your eyelashes off cut your hair and like like I'm always thinking like what are random things because that's my hobby I and not in like a judgmental mean way aesthetics are your path yeah I'm just like what if you wear a brunette the way they do the makeovers I'm sorry but if you put me in that room in Dallas Texas I don't know if it's because it's like East Coast but in 10 minutes I'm lighting those bitches up like I'm like who the fuck do you think you are like and I don't know if it's because the girls are like young 20s and they feel like these women are like authority and they have to respect them but like fuck there are so many times where I'm watching the show where I'd be like and fuck you to this day I'll sit down in a makeup bar so do my makeup and just do some crazy shit and I'll say thank you and leave like I get it I get it I bleach my own hair I was like no that was me yeah but okay but even if you want to do something like that's autonomy yeah do whatever you want but if I do it before they let them in yeah that girl dire her brown and then told her she's not on the team yeah like what the fuck is that I think that is so rude the girls from the 70s are so iconic because the team was actually the best in the 70s so like they made them famous so it is cool to see those women but then I hate when people say and they do this along the show it's very cultish they go this these are the best years of your life and they purposely tell that to them over and over again so that these girls feel lucky and these girls are gonna look back and be like oh that was my most insecure scariest time and by the way stop saying these the best college is not the best years of your life your 20s are not the best years of your life anyone who says that's you is lying I hated college you know the best years of your life are this moment right now yeah whatever you can choose to live in literally um but yeah those women are scary as fuck also super scary I do watch a lot of things and get inspired like I'll watch him a music documentary of like a rock star and I'll be like I want to be a rock star or I'll watch like in a documentary of like a softball picture and I'll be like I want to be a softball picture one day not one ounce of me wanted to be a cheerleader watching that me watching it I'm like oh I love the outfits I love like I but I love really girly stuff like that but what I do
- I don't like, well, I don't like being managed. You can't tell me what to God damn do. So I don't know if I could actually be like on an organized sports team as an adult. - My biggest thing, and I don't know what this is about me, but I hate being part of like a stream of salmon. Does that make sense? - You hate going with the crowd? - Yeah, like I hate being like, you've made it to be a non-descript beautiful girl in the crowd of beautiful girls, and you all just are like one beautiful girl now. Like I love individuality and being myself and expressing myself, and I feel like they're trying to make you be something that none of them actually are. Like all these girls are different and beautiful in their own ways, and they're all trying to be these caricatures. I just love being my own person. So that was driving me crazy, that it's like you have to fit in with what everyone's doing, where the same thing looked the same, be the same. - You know what I'd love? I'd love this exact show for the Rockettes, because I'd love to know. I would say it's very, I'd say it's probably same ages. Same, I think they have to try out every single year. I'd love to know also professional dancers. I'd love to know how they get treated at being in New York City versus Dallas, Texas. - Well, some of the Dallas Texas girls were talking about how they could try to be a Rockette, 'cause they have the skills. What do you think of Victoria? - Oh, sweet girl. I feel really bad for her. - So for people who don't know Victoria, basically her whole life was about becoming a Dallas cheerleader. She's like sitting in her room with like all these Dallas cheerleader merchandise and stuff. - I think the coaches were disgusting to her. I think they were so mean to her. - Well, she also was like, I feel like I don't fit in. None of the coaches like want me to do well. And in her, this is a kind of reminds me of tennis a little where I was like, this has been my dream my whole life, but I got to a point where I was like, every sign is telling me to stop and I have to stop blindly chasing this dream. So I really empathized with her. - Yeah. - Where I was like, you're gonna learn from this fucked up experience, but like, she's not where she's meant to be and that's why everything was just like going wrong for her. - I think she goes and becomes a racquet. - Fuck yeah. - You know how they say that like men don't respect women that they don't find attractive? - Yes. - Neither do older women in Texas. - Oh. Over 40, they actually feel the same way. - So Reese, who's adorable? They were like, I, we met your boyfriend. He's not what we thought he would be. And she's like, what do you mean? And they go, we thought you'd be with like a football player or something. She's like, no, he doesn't play football. And they're like, okay. And if someone ever fucking said that to my face. - You're so jacked up right now. - I've been hanging with my dad for too long really. - I get that. - It's been like five days and I'm like, would you say? (laughing) - You go and I think it was disgusting. - No, it was despicable is what it is because like, I'm not in like an authority. I'm not like the authority of anyone. Like, I'm not, I mean, I guess I am people's boss, but I don't ever see it like that. So like, I don't know how you can be in charge of a group of people, regardless of what your job is. But especially being in charge of a group of women who are significant, that would be like me, running a fourth grade team. No, this is exactly what it is. Sophia kind of talks you for a second. - I am the coach of a fifth grade cheerleading team and I'm gonna be mean to those bitches? - No. - No, because I could have birthed them. So no. - So with age comes wiseness. Like there were so many moments where I feel like she could have given like wise advice, but then she was just like, get out of here. Maybe next year. My next year girl, God bless, bless her heart. - And the girls are always in the room. Like the coaches are being so mean to them and the girls are always in the room like, thank you so much, man. - One of the rules is you have to say yes, ma'am. And if they don't, they go, and she goes, yes, ma'am. - But also what's crazy is these girls, like on game day, they're working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. - Yeah, right, they're getting up at like five. - Crazy, like longer than the football players, these girls are working. - And they were like, why don't you want two dollars an hour? They're like, that's not enough for you? - Well at the end they had, the girls had to say like, if they want to come back and I'm like, can they afford to? - The one girl's like, I need a hip-hop replacement. Also like, I feel like they can cut the splits. Like if every girl is like, hey, my femur bone is hurt. Like it's, it's on its last leg. - They have this dance called Thunderstruck, which is like what they're known for. - Yeah, no, it's a phenomenal dance. - It's a phenomenal dance, but it turns out it's like the hardest dance to do. And I'm like, we could, no one would notice if we cut 30 seconds. - Why isn't anyone bringing up the fact that they do the same dance every single year? - You guys don't want to switch it up ever? Like I don't, like the same thing. Like, you know, wonder some people are so good at it. They've been doing it for 20 years. Like, - And also when they kept saying that the splits are like ruining their body, even though I was jealous, I couldn't do it. I was like, I couldn't watch it. I was like, these girls are losing. I can't watch them split. 'Cause they do a jump split. It was like a drag queen move. They do like death drops. - In this season though, there's one girl that's like, no, my doctor said if I do another shit, that's enough. And the coaches are like, well, what are you gonna do? And she's like, I'm gonna ice it, ma'am. Don't worry, I'm gonna ice it. I'm like, you need to go to Alaska. You need more ice than what's in your refrigerator in Texas. - She's like someone get Kinsey from Love Island. She'll do the splits. - It's just such a freaking weird stuff. - Are season two and three better or different? - Season three was real weird. Season three was not as good as season one and two. - There is just a sadness to it all though. Like, it was really starting. Also, I am sad, so that could have been it. - There's a certain dark energy that I can't put my finger on. - It's real dark. - Wait, can I get you mad about something? - Fuck yeah. - So, apparently, they're putting tons of money into like trying to secure male baldness. And it's like millions of dollars more than any research they've done for endometriosis. The like, discrepancy between the money going towards male baldness versus endometriosis studies is like insane. - You're balding because God believes in karma. So either deal with it or go pay 30 grand to get a hair transplant. - I knew I was gonna get you going. - Do you know it takes 10 years to even get diagnosed with endometriosis? - 'Cause no one cares about it. - And we don't need to diagnose you mother fuckers with male pattern baldness. We know when you're ugly, put a hat on. - Also, I would argue that whoever's voting for where the money goes in the Senate or the state or whatever, I bet those men don't know what endometriosis is. - I have so many X's that are balding and let me tell you, the joy that it fucking brings me is there's no greater joy. I have at least four. And I will. - I just got notified that one of my X's got a hair replacement or whatever. - Yeah. (laughing) - And you guys karma's real karma works. That's one thing we know for sure on this pod. Did I talk about how you got stuck in a gay pride? (laughing) - Like you walked in the middle of it? Like I was so angry. - Let me set the scene. So I'm in Toronto and they told me where to get my spray tan and I'd physically go somewhere. And I was like, I'm picking the best place 'cause I'm scared of what's recently happened to me. It also research, this is the place to go. So it's like a 50 minute walk, but like a six minute Uber. And of course, I was like fucking around the bathroom when I was running late. So I was like, fuck it, I'll Uber. 10 minutes in. I realized the Uber were still in traffic. And it's one of those where like if you're late by 10 minutes, they cancel the call. So I start freaking out. - Okay, not very Canadian of them. - No, I know. So I called them and I'm like, hey, just stuck in traffic. But it says soon, the guys like all the roads are closed. All the Toronto roads are closed. I'm like, okay, why is this happening? He's like, I don't know. And I'm like, I'll just get out and figure this out. So I get out and I start going on the street and I'm supposed to be on that was closed. Next thing you know, middle of the Pride parade. I'm literally dancing to Ariana Grande. Rain on me, rain, rain, rain on me, rain on me. What's it called when you're like, you're the head of the parade? What is that called? Like the grand, what is that called? No, I'm Googling it. That's something that's called something. I was like, let's keep going faster, faster, running late to my tan appointment, which I feel like was like a people understood. But I'm literally getting through the Pride parade. Well, there was a drag queen at one point. I was like, yes, queen. Yes, queen. And I had the best time on Toronto Pride. - A grand marshal. - I knew it was something. - I was a grand marshal. - You were the grand marshal. - Toronto game. (laughs) - Also, let's be honest, completely lesbian passing. Everyone was like, finally.
(laughing) I was wearing what I'm wearing right now, big t-shirt, and just loving life. And when I got in, I was like, "Sorry, I was in the Pride parade, sorry I'm late." And she was like, "That's okay." Are you interested in anything world-cop related? Like, have you watched any games or you don't care? 'Cause sometimes, 'cause you're a sports girly, really at heart. So sometimes you will dabble in other genres. - Yeah, where I, like, I'm not like, I'm not like turning on a soccer game, you know? - You know, it's funny 'cause does this European? - Yeah. - So he likes soccer? So I'm thinking about it. I haven't wrapped my head around it. - Yeah, you can't get into it. - I can't get into it 'cause yeah, I haven't, no. I've also been like going through it, so I haven't been able to, but also soccer. I have trouble watching. - One thing I think about a lot with soccer players is because of the field, it's big, and they're running the whole time. How do they not shit themselves? - You know, it is. - How are marathon runners not shitting themselves? - I think they are. - Are they? - They are. - Because, like, if you go dog sledding, the dog shit themselves because they're running so much. - As a marathon runner now. - Yeah. I do have to say, you won't have to shit in the second you go on that treadmill. You're like, "Okay, after I put my purse down, "set up my iphone, put my gatorade down." Now I suddenly have to shit myself 'cause my body's like, "I have to run." But no, when you're in the adrenaline, it's like when you're on stage, you get it holds in, unless you're going through a real stomach situation, but with soccer with me, I don't know what they're trying to do, so I can't tell when someone's doing something good or bad, 'cause no one's getting it in the goal, so it just looks like people are kicking it to each other, but again, I know I'm being a stupid American when I say that. - I just like any time I watch a sport, I think of like, "Okay, in what way would I get hurt?" And I'm like, "Someone would kick my shin," and that's it, I'm done. - Well, apparently it has as many, okay, that's a made-up stat, but like there's a lot of concussions because they all jump and try to head the ball, so everyone's jumping and then like, headbutting each other and just cracking each other's skulls. - Oh wow. - No, that's not good. Which leads us to women in STEM of the week, hell yeah. - There's a girl who, I don't know what happened, but she lost her license. - Okay, okay, and it could have been a lot of things. - Could have been how many things we don't judge, but she's in college and like had to stick at the class. - So she's driving around-- - Okay, so she lost it within four years of having it, essentially, not great. - Not great, not great. - But to get to class now, she's driving around in a Barbie Jeep, and like dead serious, like-- - On campus? - And that's innovation. And that's just like smart. - Why? There's no different than taking like a scooter or a bike. - It's just so funny, 'cause she looks like miserable going to class in her Barbie. - Wait, can you send me that video, 'cause I love that. - Yeah, it's very you-coated. - Yeah, I love that so much. I'm almost like, why didn't I think of that? - I feel like 'cause you've been in Italy, I've had to, no, I'm just like scrolling my phone. I have so many random news stories for us. Have you heard of the cake pop, pop drama? - Cake pop? - Cake pop. - Cake pop. - Cake? - Okay. - Cake sorry. - Cake, sorry, I can't really speak for now. - Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. - Cake, cake, situation. - Drew, cake pop drama. - Okay. - Basically, a girl makes cake pops. - Okay. - And it's a real art form. Like people really follow these cakes. - Cake pop maker. - Cake pop. - Yeah, so they make it at home and they basically make the cake with a cake batter like that you buy like Betty Crocker. And then it's kind of fun to watch them dip it into different things and it's like different colors. They do tie-dye, whatever. I actually got kind of into it for a second. - Yeah, women and so. - One of the women is like, hey, I'm really annoyed. This woman stole my recipe for fruity pebbles, cake pops. The girl posts crying and she's like, I didn't steal your recipe. I don't know your recipe. You don't post your recipe. She's like, it's fruity pebbles and Betty Crocker. Like, what recipe are you talking about? Everyone gets mad at the first girl and the first girl has to quit cake popping because her business is now canceled. 'Cause she accused the other girl of stealing your cake pop recipe and made that girl cry. - We've really lost the plot. - This is why the patriarchy's winning, you guys. - Because we're getting caught up in cake pop situation. Wait, I saw that the girl, there's a girl that tried to trademark hot girl walk. - Everyone's talking about it now. Like, girls need to stop claiming general things. - I just feel like with the internet, everyone thinks they're like a lawyer and a doctor. And I think like the first one of the biggest things about like being mature and self-aware is admitting when you don't know something and you're not an authority on it and being like honest, being like, I don't know that or like, how would I know? But the internet, everyone is like an authority, like. - Well, that's the problem. Some of them are getting bad advice. Like this one girl said a lawyer told her like, it was your recipe, your law to fight for this but these lawyers don't understand like nuance and like culture that like, okay, maybe. - You can't trademark a common phrase. Just, and also, if anything, Megan the Stallion started hot girl or whatever. So, how would you even? - Well, it's like us trying to trademark giggle. That's like, we didn't invent giggling. - Giggling, right, like. - Well. - Also, it's just like I guess people having people in their ear trying to make money and using the legal system, and back then, I think all this stuff used to happen. Like back then, everyone's doing everyone. But nowadays, you can kind of, it can go viral online. - Actually, I think Paris Hilton trademarked that's hot. - Yeah, I think it's a common thing that people make money off of. I mean, do you remember websites? People are just like, Iownpnotts.com. - And you're like, okay, you got it first. You got to go down. On page de sorbote.com for a really long time, and I used to try and figure out who it was, because I genuinely thought it was someone I knew just trying to like fuck with me. Because then, we remember when someone own giggly squad to come and they wanted us to pay like thousands and thousands of dollars, and we were like, fuck you, we'll do a hyphen. - Yeah, that's what we have a hyphen. We were like, okay, we literally, it's crazy that you think we care about our brand. - Like, last thing I'm doing is giving some random ass man money for my name. - Keep it, babe. - Also, apparently someone yet did at giggly squad on Twitter, and they were like, you have to buy it from us, and we're like, that's hilarious. You think we use Twitter. - Yeah, I'm like, I haven't gone on Twitter since 2006. Have a great time. - You can keep our Twitter. You can keep it, babe. - There's someone on Facebook like pretending to be me, and so many people have DMed me about it. Like, hey, like, just wanna let you know. And I'm like, who the fuck is on Facebook? I'm like, I don't give a shit. Like, meant to health moment of the week. I did see a tick-tock that was really helpful, 'cause as you guys know, I'm not very good at processing my emotions. Sometimes I just turn it into jokes, and then I cry about it alone that after. And I still, to this day, I'm like, what does it fucking mean to process an emotion? Like, I don't understand. Especially as an athlete where it's like, how do you feel, and you're like, good. I'm fine, I'm strong. So this woman said, processing an emotion is when you feel an emotion. Before you immediately try to fix it, fix it, call your mom, try to make it feel better, eat something to soften the blow, before you do anything. She basically was like, sit in the emotion. Just like, don't do, basically don't do anything, 'cause I was like, what is processing me? She's like, just let it just feel it. And it's uncomfortable whether it's hatred, anger, shame, envy, sadness, sit in it, and give it like a couple minutes, and then do something, 'cause it trains your body to learn that it's safe for you to feel. So the next time that emotion comes up, you don't panic as much, 'cause your body has sat with it before, and it didn't do anything crazy. Okay, well, I've never processed an emotion before, so that was enlightening now that I realized that. The second you feel about emotion, what do you do? You grab your gwasha, and you start your skincare routine. Yeah, okay, I guess I actually immediately start yelling, but yeah, I should do that. So I guess sitting with it makes your body less impulsive to be scared of feeling, and then once you can handle your feelings, you're kind of fucking unstoppable. You know that book, it's called, like, I forget what it's called, but it basically tells you, if you're like, every girl I feel like has read it, I haven't read it, but I feel like we should, 'cause I wanna know what each of us are. Maybe that could be the second book you read. Wait, wait, wait. Where it's like you're either like anxious attachment. Oh yeah. And then like, well, I don't know what the other ones are, but I really wanna know what I am, because I know that whatever I am, it's something anxious. Did not need a doctor to tell you. (laughing) Don't need to read a whole book, Narlyn, to tell you that.
You know what? Maybe I do need just the DCC cat or coaches to tell me what the fuck is wrong with me maybe they're maybe actually they have it right maybe they're just the bluntness is what the truth is all I want is Judy to think I'm I'm amazing like all I want is Judy to love me. After watching and I was like put me in front of Judy and and I was like how I said the same thing for very different reasons I said you know what put me in that right now this is my impression of Judy watching me walk into the addition room. Wait your screen is frozen so I actually can't see you so it's like really annoying me is it how long has it been frozen like five minutes. Okay, well, this is how we're ending the episode is my impression of me walking into addition room and Judy and the other one are there oh she's pear shape. Oh, she's pear shaped. Oh, that's not a pretty smile. Oh, no, she. Oh, is she a redhead? I don't think a natural one. Oh, no, why does it look like she's crying every time she smiles. Okay, oh, I think her fingers are just as stubby as her legs and I think. They also say the meanest things in the nicest tone. I'm like, wait, that's really mean her mom never taught her how to use a razor on her thigh. I will say some of the meanest people I've ever met in my whole life. I'm really sorry, but have been. Southern like they just have been where I'm like, oh my god, I've dealt with like I've had a girl yell in my face before and she wasn't even this mean. This is scary. Yeah, Southern ladies will speak like this and just rip you a new one. Yeah, because there's something very demonic about that they don't change their tone and it's like a nice tone and it's like that's the most evil thing I've ever heard. And I think it's something that like they're very vocal about being religious, but I'm like, okay, I don't think he'd approve of that. Okay, that's okay. Anyway, you guys have the best weekend ever. We love you so much. Thank you for giggling with us and we'll talk to y'all later. Bye. [BLANK_AUDIO]
