Giggling about Hannah’s special, karma and botox (again)

 Giggling about Hannah’s special, karma and botox (again)

The transcript is a candid, humorous, and deeply personal reflection by a woman in her 30s on navigating daily life, technology, self-care, and relationships. She begins by jokingly lamenting a lack of Wi-Fi and struggles with Hulu on a TV, symbolizing broader frustrations with modern tech complexity. This leads into a deeper exploration of personal growth through micro-needling, which she sees as both a physical and emotional journey—emphasizing that healing is non-linear and often messy. The conversation touches on her insecurities around age, appearance, and social comparison, especially in the context of reality TV like Love Island, which she critiques for its toxicity and superficiality. In contrast, she praises Love on the Spectrum for its genuine, heartfelt interactions and supportive communities. She shares personal anecdotes about shopping, skincare, and even pimple outbreaks, highlighting how small daily rituals build confidence. The tone is warm, self-aware, and full of humor, with a strong emphasis on the support she receives from her "gigglers" community. Ultimately, the piece celebrates a moment of personal release—her long-awaited, joyful, and unfiltered expression of humor and vulnerability—while affirming that self-growth, connection, and authenticity are central to a fulfilling life.

we're recording to 8 a.m and i was like but i'm literally partying and by partying i mean i was sitting on the toilet scrolling my instagram to see if the gigglers were watching it yet did you watch it like did you turn it on where i'm staying right now doesn't have hulu what is that what does that even mean in the year 2026 what does that mean you're staying somewhere with no wi-fi our tv is weirdly connected to something that doesn't allow hulu so i watched it on my phone and once i watched i watched the beginning just to make sure that like all the audio was like synced to my voice to my mouth and then i was like we're good wait that is so first of all i feel like that's not true and this is like a bluetooth situation and i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm

zillion times and like i i need to let myself go and also you can't make edits right god forbid i see something that an angle that i don't want i'm so excited for the gigglers to see the part where really the whole thing to just see your hair see the part where your hair it's your your hair is on your head yeah i like it so good i've been holding in my jokes for a year like i've been like working on all these jokes that i knew the special was coming out i couldn't talk about them on giggly squad i couldn't do them right you would bring up a topic that i was like i have a joke on stage and i and i'd be like i have a joke i can't like i can't say that right now like i was really being held back um i was creatively emotionally you've been being held back and today you've burst i've burst my bubble and um i'm yeah i'm just i'm really excited i have no words also it's fucking 8 a.m why are we recording at 8 a.m it's funny because right when we got on the zoom i looked at you and grace and i was like the things i do to them where like i get off on it because i did a hair mask last night so i've been itching to wake up and wash it out so like at 7 a.m i'm like i'm washing my hair mask out i got micro needling yesterday oh little tip for the girls you're so awake right now i don't know what's going on little i've like turned into a morning person this happens in your mid-30s girl yeah and if you go undiagnosed anxiety for this long you can oh you just become a morning person yeah got it oh my micro needling oh i actually have a couple things to say and i didn't want to say it because i wanted you to talk about your hulu stuff but it's bursting out of me yeah no you're like you've we've who's out okay let's go my pores are not looking how i want them i'm obsessed with you know that i just did my second session yeah you facetimed me yesterday and your face was fully numb and i'd have a serious conversation with you while you just were like my girlfriend told me to take a clear take clarity like the day before the day of the day after she said it helps with like breakouts afterward who's your girlfriend tiktok no my friend alexa was it a doctor no but in my world might as well no alexa knows alexa knows things and if it's that it that it's she knows things so that's the first thing the second thing is that i'm not going to be able to talk about my second thing wait why why claritin i something with like the histamine because you do break out after anything here's how someone described it to me when you get micro needling anything that was gonna come out of your pore in like two months is gonna come out right now because it's like puncturing your skin to like remove it to repair so if you had like a pimple underneath that like it's probably gonna come out like immediately so you do purge a little i love that purging if someone brings up purging my head is whipping and they tell me about your journey you want to see effects i want to see it but why do i feel like the more effects i feel like the i guess the better the treatment the more bad stuff happens well it's like your skin has to get bad before it gets better it has to like break down before it can or is that the patriarchal no that's science okay it has to like first time you've mentioned science on this pot ever so then i'm laying there yesterday they're numbing my face they you lay there for like 40 you love getting numbs you look like you anything involving numbing pages like please and also get my like grain while you're at it my frontal lobe please so i'm laying there i'm numbing she's like do you want me to turn the lights off while you numb i'm like totally so she turns the lights off i'm like meditating i'm sitting there i'm having a great time i open my eyes and i'm like you know what sometimes you have to be hypocritical and sometimes you have to change your mind and sometimes you say something and then something happens and it's different and so i did make a botox appointment i'm so obsessed with you but also obsessed with you you guys we're watching her journey her honest journey so we're watching an honest journey of a woman in her 30s sorry healing isn't linear that's what it healing's not linear sorry i'm taking a step back that's what you guys when anyone asks you anything just say healing's not linear okay period slave it's not linear and so we made an appointment for two weeks what made you do this because the gigglers have whiplash they're literally in their car they just went do you want to know what did what made me do it and i'm gonna call her out right now it's taylor fitzgerald i said i'm not gonna get botox till i think like the fall maybe i'll come and i'll do it this is her makeup artist by the way who we love who's really good at cooking i'll get it in my forehead and she looked at me and she goes but what about a smooth forehead when you're in italy and i looked at her and i go why would you say that to me why would you say that well this is the thing she knows you're already anxious about italy i texted you a couple days ago and i said i'm gonna call her out right now and she's So I just threw it out there. I said, how are the outfits going? for italy because i haven't started and you said something to the effect of horrible something a little too dark for the question um so i know you're stressing and she took advantage of your insecurities in that moment also she's look she looks at my face arguably the most of anyone i know so she sings i i was like okay well so i'm really excited for that and then my third and then my third but you're not wait you're not going below your eyes i'm just doing my forehead because i did love how my forehead and eyes looked so i'm just doing my forehead okay because we can't do a lisp on the pot again it really was affecting downloads the only thing i need you to do is like use your lips to pronounce it was really crazy and i just want to give credit where credit's due and that's to me because i didn't i could have freaked out way more i didn't host the sag no i fully went on netflix without frozen mouth yeah that's just like women in stem at that point really because i thought of it as like some type of karma i was like okay and i'll take this i did something bad and i apologize i repent whenever something like that goes wrong i go who did i piss off wait so you're just checking off your karma boxes you're like if this is the moment of the day okay cool i don't check off my karma boxes i actually check off other people's like i'm still waiting for other people's to hit and then oh yeah well that's the problem with karma the more it hits the more you're like and what about these other people sometimes i'm like that karma should have gone to someone else and i know exactly who but i do have to say i sleep peaceful at night that's all i have to say my karma's clean my karma's totally you know what saying i don't like is my side of the street is clean i hate that saying who's saying that to you i don't know i feel like are you in the mafia like my side of the street is clean or maybe was that a kelly clarkson song i don't know where i'm seeing it but i'm seeing it wait what was the third thing what was the third thing i'm getting my third i'm getting my third micro needling session okay in like the beginning of august and then that's it then you're done then i'll only get it once a year and that's why do i feel like your micro needling is like your book club you're like girls we're doing our third micro needling this month i'm obsessed with my micro needling i just think it really works has it been working like do you see a difference i do feel like i see a difference what about internally well i do have a group chat going on with not even a group chat i have multiple text threads going on with different people about finding me a new therapist it's hard i'm getting people together that i've never even met before that's crazy you didn't run this by me at all like i love what you're like hannah's too close to the source she she's too close to the sun it'd be a conflict of interest anyone that's working on you certainly can't work on me they die i would never it'd be overload we can't have the same therapist that would be too powerful no i actually think that is like illegal we use the same psychics and we use the same energy healers and lawyers and agents sorry my energy healer is my lawyer you know it's so funny a friend one of my friends texted me the other day and goes i i'm gifting you an astrology appointment with my favorite astrologer and i'm like this is girlhood i don't want flowers me neither book me an astrology appointment literally goes emails in your inbox like for june just like think just wanted to do something like nice and whatever and i was just like yeah this is a good gift let's normalize getting cat psychics for your friend like that's way better than being like here's a candle that's a fun it's a phenomenal gift that's like an experience that you don't have to also like where do you get a gift card nowadays yeah where are you going you're getting a gift card nowadays yeah the email doesn't hit the same it doesn't send someone an email because i'm like spam i'm like yeah i deleted it and also like you're saving that email and remembering oh i have a gift card let me go get that now like i loved a physical gift card as a child because i thought like i had a credit card doesn't hit the same remember when like in the grocery stores they started like every gift card was there and you could get any gift card from anywhere i thought that was real innovation wait we're aging ourselves are we talking about gift cards physical gift cards so anyway so i'm excited for you what was i saying you were saying you have your third microneedling oh yeah so then that i think that was my third and final thing you're like and i'm done oh my god kitty's being so cute sorry um okay back to hulu i do have to say it does feel like christmas morning yeah and i also just feel like we're in such a good place with the gigglers right now like the gigglers the gigglers are ready they're like give it to me everyone's watched you like work for it like we've watched you be on tour for literally two years so like we i feel like the gigglers feel just as in it the gigglers are tired yeah like we're exhausted like i can't see you in another city it's too much well what i love so much about the gigglers is i did a couple podcasts to promote the special and a couple of them came out yesterday and the gigglers are obviously excited like they're like we're gonna listen to all of them however they were like babe are you okay this is a lot of podcasts when did you do these was it all like the gigglers care less about like the girls want to make sure i'm okay and because you're so motivating to me i like when you take a break because i'm like no the gigglers are literally my dms be like hannah you don't need to do another podcast you're good we need you to rest like they are tracking my sleep schedule so to all the gigglers i feel like i did fewer podcasts to promote because one we have giggly squad and i don't shut up but two just because you run out of stories i have to go out on the sidewalk and do something illegal i have no more stories no and also like people get mad when i talk about being from brooklyn and playing tennis and my grandpa but i'm like you guys i can't make up new stuff about myself i'm actually gonna start i'm gonna just like start being a guy and like make things up about myself start being a guy yeah let's go with that let's just go with that sure i did do david spade and dana carvey's podcast which was you guys know i love older men i was in my element i couldn't believe i was just riffing with like two comedy legends they're just girls girls they're just wanting to giggle and they giggle at the silliest stuff you know how like they say you get a dog and you like love your dog you love your cat you start to look like your animal you have a best friend you start to like look like each other tell me that they are not like the man version of like that's my best friend until like we kind of look like and i love them they're like us because they're opposites like dana's literally living on a farm yeah and then like david spade is like getting paparazzi like i literally i feel like i saw david spade getting paparazzi by like tmz and had and i've seen other people recently be paparazzi by tmz and in my head though when i saw him i was like tmz is still a thing like i don't know why he think like there's something about him that is very like 2000s to me like i don't know why i don't know why i don't know why like i feel like maybe that's when i first like knew who he was like was introduced to who he was speaking of tmz i've been getting some messages being like hannah can you stop being pr trained it's taken me six years let a girl have some growth because yesterday i got a text from my publicist she was like i did the today show and she's like tmz is outside just letting you know let's keep it cute so the whole day i just kept going let's keep it cute i love that we're getting older and we're getting positions of power because yeah keep it like that you get the vibe you don't have to say any more no well also i've never kept it cute in my entire life and yesterday i woke up and i said i'm gonna start keeping it cute what did they say to you when you walked out anything so i ended up kind of speeding by oh good one thing i would love to talk about re today show the socks and the shoes honey i i loved it thank you because the gigglers in the comments didn't know what to do they were like we like some stuff we don't know where page stands yet and and you were you were holding out on them i didn't did you post a grid no i didn't post a grid you're waiting for the grid are you celebrating today are you doing anything what do you do oh you're going to taylor struckers you're having all your friends over wait no your friends are going well first of all all my comedy friends are on the road and then i feel like i have like my close friends but then if i go like a little out it becomes crazy like it's like too many people so i got it's basically me and my mom you got anxious about inviting people and so then you decided not to invite anyone and that ladies and gentlemen is the thesis of your 30s no because i was like i couldn't if i invite yeah no i get it yeah then i have to invite someone else then i have to invite someone else then i have to invite someone else actually i invited someone who like doesn't know anyone else and she responded to me and then i didn't respond to her perfect because i was like actually i don't know if this is a good fit right now and i don't want to put you in that situation so i think i rescinded an invite because i wouldn't want i realized i put her in a difficult position i don't want people making friends at this gathering telling sorry i have cat hair you didn't tell me about this well you got a long-haired cat but it doesn't do that because you wanted the aesthetics and now you have white hair on your on your product no it's like literally i feel and you want to know something because of my hobby my face is at any given time sticky and so i will literally leave you with a cat hair and i'm like i don't want to do that because i'm a cat hair and i'm going to leave you with a cat hair and i'm going to leave you with a cat hair and i'm going to leave you with a cat hair and i'm going to leave you with a cat hair and i'm going to leave you interaction with kitty and like i'll have to rip my face off but that just means that you reapply more layers which you know you love to do back to hulu for a quick second i started watching not suitable for work yes it's so cute i have so many

two hours a night and i was like a i had a full family yeah it's getting it's hard to manage and i i hate to say this but the l but the but the love island america is so vastly different i feel like from love island uk when it first started this is the first time ever that i have felt like oh i can't watch love island like and not because i'm like oh they're so much younger which they are but i started love island usa because i was like whatever i'll just let uk rack up and then i'll go through it i had to turn it off because one of the girls goes i'm she's introducing herself to like three other girls and i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god and she goes i'm from new hampshire and the mind you this is love island usa she goes i'm from new hampshire and the other three girls look at her as if she has said a small country in the middle of nowhere that has zero tourism and the girl responds and goes do you guys know where that is all three all the girls were like no you stupid bitch we're on love island why the fuck i'm here for love not geography and she goes it's right above boston and i in my own home by myself with kitty i start laughing because i'm like guys that's hilarious television like that is i mean the editors were like thank you not even a niche state like a lot happens in new hampshire i feel like new hampshire's talked about it i'm well especially if you live in the northeast yeah this one girl was from philly i love people from i was like it's important for you to know wait did i talk about meeting the cast of love on the spectrum no you didn't at the amas no oh my god so i get to the amas with my mom i'm nervous and they put us in this room like before the show starts with like all the other like presenters i don't even know who's in this room but i immediately was like oh my god like how i don't know i have an hour to of like small talk i don't know what to do yeah and des texts me and he was like i just saw a photo the cast of love on the spectrum is there you have to find them and i was like okay i like having like a goal and like i have a project and some people were coming up to me and i swear to god i was like i'm i'm so great to see you guys again i love you like it was some la comics and i was like i need to bother the people in love on the spectrum and when i tell you i never bother people i never bother people but doesn't i cry through love on the spectrum like laughing crying it's the most beautiful show in the world and i don't like bothering people you bother me all the time i only bother you and my mom and people i love so i go up to logan and if you guys haven't watched love on the spectrum you have to watch it like this isn't a joke this isn't a bit this is serious so he always said that he loves girls with straight curly hair i go up to him and i had my hair like waved i swear to god he was like and this is what i've been waiting for and i stood there and i knew it he's like are you getting a load of this take a look at him and he was like hi and i'm like logan like you're my everything and at one point i was so i'm talking to him and i was like i think i asked him what his sign was i'm like i'm a leo and then he's like how when were you born now one thing about me is i'm not afraid to tell people my age yeah i'm out here i'll i'll say it you don't have to ask i'll tell you i'm not either i feel like there's it's something like if you're oh i don't tell people which is like totally fine it's what we were talking about but i'm not afraid to tell people my age i'm not afraid to tell people it's giving i'm ashamed and one thing about me i'm not ashamed why were we taught that even looking at someone be like no you look like you're whatever is still shaming them every time someone says their age and i have an a reaction an involuntary reaction i want to kill myself in that moment like whether my even even if my reaction is like you look gorgeous i always feel like it sounds condescending like one of my girlfriends not even one of the this girl that i know said to me oh yeah she said it like in passing conversation she was like oh yeah for my 38th birthday and i go you're 38 and she was like yeah and i was like oh my god you look so good and right after i said it i was like why would i say that i was like why did i say that like no i genuinely meant it like you look so i would have never thought you were 38 but also like yeah you could be 38 why why is that crazy that you look so good in your 38 and it's not our fault like i'll literally because you'll meet someone who's older than you and then you immediately feel like you have to like compliment yes why is that it's like so much deeper and darker than where like if a 26 year old says to me oh my god you look so good like 33 you look so good i'm like you little bitch no one talks about how in your 20s no one goes oh you look like you're 22 or like oh like there's an age where people start like oh it's okay you don't look that age yeah and i remember when that started happening to me and i'm like oh no yeah but i did recently actually kazzy david posted like a whole thing about ages and i didn't look at it fully but it made me laugh because it was like 34 you're old as fuck and they're like 35 you're young again yeah because you're not 40 but 34 you're like the oldest of the 30s 34 is 39 but then 35 is 32 totally and i'm 33 which is like 28 yeah 30 you're a baby i'm a child i'm like not even in my third i actually at 33 you get removed from your 30s you're back you're 28 34 they put you back in it's very niche but it's very real so logan was like when were you born and like everyone at the tables we were with connor we were with their moms like it was a full kiki yeah and i was like 91 and logan looks at me and he goes i love older women i go i have a husband logan he goes your husband's very lucky and then we just kept taking photos and sending videos to des des was loving it logan has the sweetest relationship with his sister wait logan who logan on the show you have to watch it i'm not explaining logan to you because i actually can't you have to take it in because his vibe and his aura is something that cannot be explained on a podcast wait you ever get so deep in a story with your friend yeah that you're like wait i think i missed a couple of them wait do you know how many relationships i'm way too too late to ask what someone's name is like the actual person's name i don't so much have that with like i feel like in romantic relationships where it's like gone on multiple days but i feel like when you're like working if you like work with another company or like another department there's always someone where you're like what the fuck is their name and i've known them for six months to a year well page and i do a lot of freelance and sometimes you meet someone and you don't know if you're gonna see them again yeah yes and then it turns out you see them throughout the entire day but you didn't process it in the beginning and it's totally fine to be like i'm so sorry um i didn't catch your name yes wait but not after four hours that will happen to me so many times like i'll see someone and i'll like recognize them and i'm like i don't know who this is but i know that i know this person and then it'll come out that like five years ago we worked on a project together and every time that happens to me in my head and my heart i think wow thank god you're not a fucking asshole because you have to work with all these people again and if you were an asshole four years ago on this random job like how awkward would today be and it almost is like it almost like reminds almost like re-encourages myself when that happens to me because i'm like oh yeah like make good decisions say please and thank you yeah well it just like also reminds you that there's like such assholes out there because sometimes it's like that happens to me and they know someone i know i'm like oh i know that you enjoy you enjoy me way more well i speaking of that stuff i i've been on my spray tans i'm back on my spray tans and the spray tan girls have stories because they're spray tanning personalities you know especially in new york city yeah one of my favorite spray tan stories is when a spray tan artist came to my place after being at a reality tv person's place before me yeah let's just say she looked like she saw a ghost yeah and i was like are are you okay she was like yeah i just got yelled at during the spray tan and what was going on and she's like well i walked in and she was drinking wine and i was like go off it's a friday night yeah it's friday night or it's monday morning like whatever you want do do whatever you do whatever you want you need to get through this life if i could tattoo that on my forehead do whatever you want i don't i don't give a shit you have free will do

and i'm like if i send her something has to be really do you feel disconnected do you feel like we're disconnected no not at all i feel like we're where we should be but i felt like i i was i got loosey-goosey and was sending you risks and i was like sending you all this stuff and i just feel like you've lost confidence in my picking ability so you know now i'm overthinking everything and i saw i know what you like you like a little short white dress a little boxy a little a little boxy preppy little i actually just bought a pair of zebra vintage gucci mini shorts that have like a dash

britney bro screaming when did you say thong i was like and then you're like sandals and i was like wait what do you think about that being like a trend like a flip-flop kitten heel i like that because it elongates the leg a little yeah i know you're like a professional shopper i don't physically shop that much but it's so much fun i was like going through the racks and like there's like a social rules going on right going through my rack and i'm moving like i'm not being annoying i'm like boom boom make a decision some girl comes next to me and she's flying through the rack like aggressive and i'm like it's it feels like you're driving and someone comes up not that i drive but someone comes up right behind you on the highway and you're like i'm doing the speed limit rage for sure i'm doing a speed limit and she's going and i'm like if if we continue at this pace like we're gonna clash babe you think road rage and florida on a highway is scary get in an outlet mall with two girls from long island don't scratch your eyes out okay and then i was like we're gonna like like i'm not gonna let you play through like i was here first and i'm going through the rack and there's 80 other racks why are you about to bulldoze me like do you let them play through like do you go okay if you're going fucking crazy just go absolutely not i'm here but it's stressing me out

And it was like a sports camp because I was going to sports camp. My brother was like, I don't want to go to sports camp. They're like, you'll love it. The camp had to call my parents because apparently you write letters home. But the camp reads all the letters just to make sure there's not anything weird happening. The camp had to call my parents to be like, hey, just letting you know, your son wrote a really dramatic letter. What did he say? Because my brother doesn't fuck around. He was like, I'm having the worst time I've ever had. Get me the fuck out of this place, whatever. By the time it got to my parents, he was already having a good time. He made friends. He was like, dear Lenore, count your fucking days. Get your little ass in that fucking car. Come get me. And they were like, we swear he's made a friend since and he's having the best time. But in the three days that it took to get to you. Why do I feel like Daniel has like a quill and ink? I was going to say, he has a feather. He's like, dear former family. I scoff. At the thought of you guys. No, he literally was like, I will never see you again. And I have no respect for you and any of your morals. And how dare you? I wish I was not your son. Goodbye. No, that's crazy. I had a stephanie went to camp all through like middle school and high school. And she fucking loved it. Yes. Some people will ever see someone who's like, that's my camp friends. And I'm like, oh, you guys have been through some shit. Now that I think about it, I used to bully Stephanie about her camp. Camp friends all the time. And like, it was out of pure jealousy of just like, so you think you're closer to your camp friends? Yeah. Because they're like, they've kayaked and stuff. Like, that's like a. How can I compete with that? No, I can't. Yeah. And they like s'mores. I'm like, you guys have friendship bracelets, Stephanie. I can't. Our bonding was like a pregnancy test in the McDonald's bathroom junior year. It's like, oh, we weren't hugging trees. Hey. We had things to do. It's called dry gagging. What's it when you like can't dry heaving, dry heaving. I was dry heaving in a Sonic. Sorry. That's my pretend suburban life. OK. Oh, God. Anyway, you guys stream. Then my business on Hulu.
