Giggling about crying, cocktail parties, croque madames

Hannah opens the episode with an apology for excessive, chaotic humor, acknowledging it crossed a line while affirming her commitment to an open, interactive community. She shares a deeply personal, almost mystical set of physical symptoms that signal her illness, blending vulnerability with humor. The episode then expands into a heartfelt narrative of a vibrant birthday party attended by close friends, including comedians and supporters, where emotional connections and shared joy shine. Hannah reflects on the power of real, unfiltered female friendships, especially in creative fields, and critiques reality television for its misleading relationship narratives, particularly in shows like *Love Is Blind*. She highlights how women should support one another across industries and remain authentic in their self-expression. The conversation also touches on fashion, beauty trends, and food culture—like the rise of quiches and beauty marks—while underscoring the emotional toll of constant public presence. Amid physical and mental exhaustion, Hannah advocates for self-care, community, and emotional honesty, concluding with a warm, celebratory tone that honors both her personal journey and the collective spirit of the "giggly squad."

gonna go and get it for me it's called a medicine ball oh it's life changing no getting a medicine ball is like a thing that you could ask i think you can even ask for it in a bodega because it's like tricked me i thought i thought it was like the secret menu i think it's like lemon ginger cayenne i think i don't know but i need it the one thing i do love for us is like we are so incorrect on so many things on the pod but no one can accuse us of using ai like we're not using ai and we are out here not knowing things it's freeing and beautiful okay well also we never claimed that you were gonna like learn something from this podcast if you like that's on you like go listen to an expert is me forgetting a word page obviously not knowing the word that i'm imagining and then you guys knowing the word but you're like yelling it at your phone and that's skiggly squad and it's community it's interactive yeah um okay back to my party for a second oh yeah at one point i looked around i go all i did was invite all of hannah's friends well i think over the years you know like who shows the fuck up for me and they were texting me they were like i feel like i'm i'm in like a co-parenting relationship where it's like i'm with page this weekend wait so for people don't know i was not there everyone thought we just didn't get a photo together which totally has happened every time of course but i just flew back from asia and went to miami and then page was like by the way having a party in new york obviously you're not coming and i was like okay and then i get a facetime from grace who was at the party all my best friends no literally all your best friends well how were they did they behave they were so nice ali cooper and my dad talked to the entire time i feel like oh my god she loves that your dad loves her stewart and gabby came together amazing because they are a comedic duo and they work best when they're riffing off each other no it felt very like i don't know i felt like my hot sisters like no it was really like the hot girls from the other school came to my party that's how i felt yes but also like if you don't have professional comedians at your party like the vibes are not gonna be the same no it was half professional comedians and that's the kind of party you're throwing it's basically hiring clowns but like hot hot clowns for your party hot clowns with boob jobs actually i think stewart and gabby should start getting hired for your party they would be phenomenal phenomenal they will you know when everyone's like not sure what to talk about they will get the bit going they'll do callbacks they're running around they're getting people involved they're doing crowd work with people they don't know it's incredible i had one drink and i promised hayley she could sing at msg you got me in trouble because hayley calls me she goes page said i could sing at msg and i was like okay well that's definitely a conversation and she's like oh so you're not letting me i'm like no no i fully will let you i just want to like come i just i'm putting the show together right now and i don't know what minute that would affect i'm like are we talking whitney houston like what are we what is the vision i told her she definitely could do the girls girls girls dance getting the microphone to her that's a big a big deal if you come to my party and you ask any i'm like yeah you came to my party like i'll give you my first child like i don't know hayley's doing 30 minutes at msg actually i go what if we just brought the whole salami squad hayley's fully pregnant by the way you guys just letting you know she has a baby like a hand coming out of her vagina and she's like i'm dancing at msg which is womanhood i did another thing that i was like i don't know this is weird or not but whatever there are like some girls on the internet that i've never met before but i'm just like i think you're pretty and i like watching your videos and i feel like i i don't feel like i'm so much older than them but i know that i'm older than them but you like their work yeah i'm just like oh i like i get excited for them i'm like i like i love when they put on a good outfit and they like show me that they're going out to dinner i'm like yeah you wanted your party to be aesthetically pleasing and you saw people that would look good on the grid let's be so fucking real and now i'm wondering why i wasn't asked to your party i go you're beautiful come to my birthday you go this daphne outfit would look amazing on you so there's like a couple girls that i follow on tiktok and instagram and stuff and so when they came into my party i go i hope you don't think it's so weird that i invited you to my birthday party but i but i like you and they were like oh my god no we don't think it's weird at all so that is my anxiety a little bit everyone looks so good at one point you did text me and say or no you commented and said a lot of blondes everyone's thinking it and well i was doing my scroll and you and you're sandwiched between them like loving life well another tactic i needed to be the only brunette i was like she's an enemy territory by her own choice you have to flip the scratch flip the script actually sierra commented too was like yeah that's what i was noticing well gabby who's blonde talks about blonde erasure apparently that's a thing a lot of girls going brunette and she's afraid that blondes are like going in extinct i think this is not my algorithm this isn't my thing i mean well dare i argue that i think that a lot of blondes get more misogyny thrown at them yes so you know i also want to bring awareness to the blonde i also would say in general like natural blondes are a minority so like a lot of girls come 30s they're like i'm not being about a blonde anymore i'm gonna embrace and actually match my eyebrows speaking of blonde ash came to my party no i'm so jealous i was like she just did fallon i know oh wait i she walks in i hug her and i go oh my god did you know your song is on love is blind and she goes yeah wait love is blinds music this season they're doing olivia rodrigo they're doing ash they're doing somber like we're the budget's crazy the budget's crazy which i don't if there's one thing in this world and there's a lot i don't understand is what shows have budget for music one episode of love island i'm like this episode had to cost 20 million dollars how did they get all these songs and like on dancing with the stars they're not using any of the real songs no they have to sing it and but i miss the days of like vanderpump rules where it's just like she's a bad girl she's a bad girl don't mess with her don't mess with her she's bad bad girl back to ash i think with musicians and actors i can be a little more like um what's not sweet but like honest like i feel like with comics i like joke a lot but with a singer i i sent her like a corny sdm what did you say i said something like you're a light and you have to keep shining but i'm like she's because you think they're like more they're more um like artistic yeah and just that they're like serious artists so i was like keep shining your light and spreading your joy positivity and she was like so sweet back but like she's like like marilyn monroe no she's so i just think she's so cool there's just like something about her aura that just feels very she's just a star genuine yeah and she just feels like she's a star like i just really like her also it makes me confused why in all the beauty trends why fake birthmarks have not become a thing yeah because like instead of getting filler i'd rather get like a really cunty birthmark that looks like ash and like differentiate myself from other people maybe it will start trending soon wait you might be on to something because freckles were a thing right and i feel like that era of outfits is kind of starting to trend a little bit like doing night out and just putting a mole on your face like let's go even like gilded age outfits i feel like they could have beauty beauty marks but it's so funny how a beauty mark can be like so regal it's a thin line between regal and like you have to get that checked yeah sorry part of giggly squad is also like multitasking and playing with your cat whilst recording kitty keeps trying to bite me kidding well this is your athletic it's an athletic feat she's working out no that's so cool and you know what that is also women supporting other women in separate fields comics have to support singers have to support actors like we're all in this together why was there so much discussion about your outfit online because wait was there no i was wait i'm wait i had a 14 hour shooting day yesterday and i have the flu wait i'm gonna cry i don't know i okay now okay now i feel like that bad friend it's like i um fuck what everyone said you're amazing wait did everyone hate it no no i'm on positive wait i'm literally crying wait now i feel so bad no no no i think i'm so sick you're like i don't have the capacity for this no no no everyone loved it page everyone loved it i just saw an instagram of a girl no she's like really crying wait i've never seen you cry before this azara skirt is what it would be azara i actually saw zero negative feedback i just got a tiktok from a giggler saying like how dare anyone not like page's dress she's perfect and so i never actually saw anyone not like it i think the gigglers okay we're just standing 10 toes down i'm just i'm kidding i'm hot and then i'm cold and no i think you have a fever babe no i think i have a fever before you black out i want to know what love is blind wait i need to say about my dress really yes i'm just kidding okay the i saw it on zara like a month ago and i was like ah that's the coolest dress ever also h&m is like really popping off right now um whatever and i saw it and i was like i don't know i don't know fix your crown she's like are you crying i should have this really good stuff right now while wiping her tears and i was like i don't know where i'm gonna wear but i'm gonna wear it somewhere and then when daphne was like we have to do something for your birthday that's when we're launching black i was like oh my god i actually will because i have the perfect outfit i actually would have loved that with like a diamond necklace for radio city last year like that could have been iconic for like yeah it was giving like a little old school i mean did i like giving zara 350 no because i feel like that's like not that's wait i feel go to zara for the 10 years ago whatever did zara even have stuff for 350 no but now they do like these collabs with like random not random but like different designers and brands and stuff and it was like a collab but i forgot who it even was yeah and it was sickening it was okay can we also say before this turns again um we got on and grace and i were like page you looked so fucking beautiful at your birthday party the outfit the glam the lighting like something about it was just regal and page was like can you wait till we start recording thank you and then she put on this whole act tears she's like i'm an actress no that was really good and for anyone who's worried about our show coming up that was an oscar performance by page the sword but no she has the flow and she's actually like really fragile right now i'm really no but this is what happens when you over socialize you crack yeah no i just had two filming days this week that were super long and i am such a sensitive i've such a sense this is what i'm saying i need to build my stamina up for tour i'm not gonna make it that's why i've been lifting weights i've been trying to like go on walks eat healthy and then i got taken out by the well i've also had a stuffy nose for three weeks i want to die yeah and then i this week i really i pushed it you pushed it and there's something about like when you have to be on there's one thing where like you're working like when you have like email days or editing days but when you have to be on camera and like it takes a different level of like guttural effort to like shine on camera that like you only have so much battery for you only have so many tries until they're like you suck like so like when you're filming something they're like and right here would be a perfect time to say something hilarious and i'm like ah okay well yeah you're like riffing doing full improv in your interviews and stuff what did you want to say about love is blind because i wanted to say one other thing too so i watched the finale oh i actually haven't even watched it i watched the finale i guess i shouldn't tell people what happened it's like too soon why okay no it's friday everyone hates each other everyone hates each other yeah obviously wilney and wait who got married well let me tell you last okay wilney and wilson never liked each other like the second they saw each other they didn't like each other so the breakups are so awkward because they're like we're not doing this right and then the person's like yeah we're not i'm like okay then why did we film the last whatever get screen time yeah um well he his girl the one he the girl he actually really liked i think she left right and then he picked her yeah from that moment and from the very beginning she was like you don't you didn't really pick me did you and he's like no i did you and then obviously the pirate guy who lives on a boat yeah wait i saw on tiktok that he worked on like yacht week boats yacht week was a very pivotal moment in my 20s i am like i know exactly this man now tell us he's like what and this is a term my dad says he's a good time charlie like just call him a whore i you're like he wears little tight shorts at the gym good time charlie no like you can tell he's like all about having fun and he's not trying to slow down like that's why he's still wants to work on these boats and be away for however many months he was one of those guys that was too calm in the process that you're like either he's an angel or like he is deviant and actually like completely removed yeah like he never got upset he never got worked up and you were like is he calm or is he like evil like i feel like he had no intention of really getting married unless someone who he didn't have to bend anything for came along and that's just like not realistic and he didn't choose the one serbian girl who was like i'm down to party i thought more was gonna happen when they saw each other for the first time well she actually was like fuck you dude you didn't pick me and i'm not like because it is kind of like fun to be like yeah he didn't see me and now that he saw me might like me but it's actually way more hurtful for someone to be like i learned all about your life and i don't fuck with you like for for a guy to do that and then be like wait i didn't know you have kind of nice lips i'd be like oh fuck yourself like yeah you you've learned my soul and you were like pass never may check please yeah but i think the pirate guy is a learning lesson in what i've experienced with relationships where in the very beginning you ever talk to your friend and she's like he's great but there's this one little thing but like whatever that one little thing that annoys you in the beginning will always be the downfall of the relationship 100 percent and whatever like even like a nahow in the very beginning be like yeah my parents don't approve but like we'll figure it out you get to the altar she's like my parents aren't here and they don't approve of you yes and then with blake they're like but how would we actually live a life if you're gone every like for six months out of the year and he's like we'll figure it out sorry i'm just thinking of like applying that rule to my life and it's like in my 20s you're saying it's like these small things and in my 20s i'm like okay he's a drug addict but like i feel like we'll figure that out like he's he's like a really intense alcoholic like he's gone through a lot and he's strong from it and it's like he's still in the throes of addiction babe yeah um and then even the other relationship that got married was john and sarah who was the one in the very beginning that she's like do you believe in abortion he's like yeah maybe if she's like 12 12 and she was like well obviously if she's 12 what's like actually don't believe in modern health care she's like cool cool cool i'm a nurse he literally was like i don't believe in science i can be convinced but but i don't believe in science and she's like i am a scientist yeah um but we could probably figure this out because i like that you're open to hearing me so that's i have no faith in that relationship yeah no me neither and the reunion is next week yeah yeah so she goes so we'll see he doesn't believe in science but then he got diagnosed with ms and had to go to the hospital and was like maybe science is on to something and love is blind is so devious because like right when they're getting their makeup done to walk down the altar they have the family members ask like the most intense questions like the girls like does he believe in women's rights though he doesn't and something pissed me off i think it was the dad who said it's just gonna be so great when you see your wife walk down the aisle and you realize she's yours i didn't like that oh wait oh my god i didn't like that at all i'm like you don't own her she's not yours it was a very like i didn't like the verbiage and also reality tv you never know like you say stupid shit and people could take it and go with it right he could have meant like that that's your wife for the rest of your life like he could have meant it in a sweet way but but it was like one of many comments that were like along those lines and i just feel like sarah's an angel i just feel like sarah you shouldn't feel like you have to conform so much to a man there's too many men to settle for a guy that's injecting raw milk and like doesn't believe in vaccines until it helps him i don't know if you get more cynical as you get older but like as i get older i actually don't think you should have to compromise anything like no no like no no like major big things no no like what then what are we doing i'll go find someone else well aneha is was really hilarious because her sister comes in while she's getting makeup done her sister's like i don't feel good about this i don't think everyone else is like whatever you go with we support you we believe in you we're here for you the sister's like i'm not here for you don't love this our parents don't love this which is how i think a sister should act well when cameras are on people go two types of ways they either go full like let me just like finish this filming and do what needs to be done and then i'll deal with it later and then some people are like i actually have to speak up right now even though i could look like a really bad villain and the whole time they're cutting back to the sister like the sister just put everything on the table and was like i don't fuck with this sorry i was just looking for my vix i wasn't trying to not listen to you no it's okay it's it's i know how important your vix is it's really important to me and i don't know you and vick are in a very serious relationship it's in my bed somewhere but i don't know so aneha basically gives this long speech about how great he is and then she says no and cam looks like hurt which was confusing for me because i was like y'all y'all have been fighting non-stop yeah yeah so he was like hurt but i think his thing was like okay now we're breaking up so then she after she says no they come back together later on and she's like what's wrong and he's like yeah i'm kind of upset and she's like why i think she's like sweet sometimes she does this like in like child like i think she's anxious she has bad anxiety and that's like how she tries to like soften you know but like it was just so funny because then he can't communicate he can't be like you just broke up with me on national television she's like you're acting weird and he's like yeah he doesn't know how to talk so he's like bubbling like yeah i don't i don't i don't know yeah he doesn't know how to talk why are you acting weird so you're watching two people that it's ironic that like the communication style i thought of something for love is blind i think would be good i love i'm so deep in love is blind right now but she basically was like the cam and the pods that i fell in love with who was open and talkative and honest like the second we're out of the pods he like clammed up i feel like instead of putting them at the altar even though like it is good tv i think it should end with them back in the pods and having to talk to each other to be like do we want to continue this relationship or not hannah that's very creative i like that just my producer brain i just feel like i want to put them back in the pods after experiencing everything to be like how different is this conversation now you know i really like that i like that a lot thanks because i'm like is that the same guy you fell in love with yeah oh and then blake when they break up because she's like you're gonna be gone for six months this isn't gonna work out and he's like i know he's then sitting on the kitchen counter which is weird yeah why'd they do that to him why'd they put him up there like a little elf on the shelf why his legs just dangling like i couldn't take it seriously i think it's because he he probably was like can i just jump up like he doesn't give a fuck he's like i don't want to be on land right now can i sit on this counter no this is like sometimes when men put their legs in like very normal positions that like legs go in it gives me like a major ick like my icks this is so weird my icks are around like walking sitting anything with your legs i find i get more icks and it has to do with their legs isn't that weird i i do get icks with how a guy walks like you could tell when they're not athletic by just how they strut i'm like why is that foot kind of angled the wrong way but when girls have a weird walk i'm like she's she's a dancer i can tell that you didn't you you weren't good at a sport in like high school college like and i it's kind of an ick i am kind of obsessed with hands though like i like them you i don't want them daintier than mine and mine are already not dainty so that's i'm readily like 95 of the male population is out right i don't like when their nails are not cut because i'm like what are you doing just like fucking guillotining girls out here and i don't like when they look dirty obviously i don't like when they look sticky you just tell when the guy's sticky i don't mind clammy because that means you're a little nervous but sticky is like crusty i don't like when they try and walk really fast but not run like it's like a just like a quick little walk like i don't know there's something i've seen it i can't describe it but i don't like that i don't like when they cross their legs in certain situations some situations i'm like okay i get it but like it's the way they do it some situations i'm like daddy i like when they cross yeah sometimes it looks almost and i hate that i'm gonna say this word i'm not even gonna say i'm actually not gonna say the word i was gonna say alpha no don't say that sorry can you bleep that out grace no but like they look in charge of a situation in some and they look comfortable with their sexuality speaking of sexuality did you see zach and jen are divorcing wait she's also like going rogue on tiktok and posting like all these videos of like when he was like has done things that are mean to her that she has on camera zach posted a video and he would he say so it all started because he was kind of getting ahead of it and was like hey guys it's zach i'm like so sad that we couldn't make this work because like when i met her she was obviously the one for me and then like i regret things i've i've done in the past but like i think jen's gonna be super successful and we're gonna co-parent everything's for our kids and he's in like a hoodie and then his like blonde hair is like styled out in the front like you know what i'm talking about so then jen immediately posted a video of him telling her she needs to do laundry so wait i don't know if i saw the laundry one i saw the one in the kitchen that was like don't don't post that you will you look well you're gonna post wearing that he said her boobs look saggy in that kitchen by the way i've been jet lagged so i've been up since 5 a.m doing this research for the team because after imagine having two babies and your husband being like you're gonna post that your boobs look saggy by the way can't see her boobs in it she's wearing a robe also i'm pretty sure when you have boobs that's what they do no i know so people are already out after that but then she posts when these girls are doing these get ready with me's fuck you pete davidson because these get ready with me's you get a lot of footage right yeah so she took an outtake from a get ready with me where he walks behind her and he's like why is that towel on the floor she goes oh it's dirty and he's like can you put on the counter and she's like okay and he's like are there no fresh towels and she's like not right now like you can try doing laundry for once and he like gets mad at her i don't get what he does though he doesn't work no i'm not even like no he doesn't work he like is mad he has to take care of kids he obviously doesn't cook or clean what does he do all day he was gonna go to medical school he didn't he just what does he do like what fills his days well now he's like i'm excited to consider medical school i also can start a business like he goes i even talk we're talking to netflix about doing like a divorce dads of mom talk just kidding that's a joke no i part of me feels mean because like we don't really know what their relationship is but i don't trust a man who goes on camera i don't trust a man that goes on camera and tries to like say his side if you're going on camera after something happened and trying to say your side what are you who did you murder i'm who's in your basement you're too sick for this you're at capacity don't get me don't get me going please are you crying again um also whitney just announced a hulu show i love it i mean her revenge is honestly i'm looking at her yeah i'm like i'm like whitney join the team baby we love you i feel like i feel like we're the same same but different i'm like yeah keep stepping on the next i saw like a i love when in hindsight they can pull um footage from when people are like really mean to someone and like everyone hates that one person and it was her being like i'm gonna start my own mom talk and all the girls are like you fucking idiot like you stupid stupid little dumb bitch and it has it has like the music and then it cuts to whitney being like i got my show speaking of like reality tv and you can go back and find clips have you seen the john and k plus eight stuff anything involving children really gets me upset and i can't get myself to click on it oh my god okay i just think it's so ironic how things happen because what are the chances that the story years ago was that john had cheated on kate with this girl hayley when in reality that never happened and now that hayley woman hayley glassman is on real housewives of new york city and the son just
