Giggling about mafia bosses, microplastics, and melatonin

The podcast features a candid, reflective conversation mixing personal anecdotes, humor, and deep emotional insights. The host shares everyday struggles—from managing UTIs and body image to navigating relationships and mental health—with a blend of self-deprecating humor and vulnerability. Themes of trauma, societal pressure, and the search for authentic connection emerge, especially in the context of reality TV like the Mormon housewives show, which is critiqued for its raw, unfiltered portrayal of women’s lives. The conversation touches on personal growth, the importance of community, and the complex relationship between success and fulfillment. It also includes lighthearted discussions about fashion, coffee habits, and the absurdity of internet culture, like the origin of "Hydrox." Underlying all of this is a strong emphasis on self-awareness, empathy, and the value of listening to others' experiences. The host concludes by advocating for emotional honesty, community, and personal boundaries as essential to well-being, reinforcing that true growth comes from vulnerability and staying true to oneself.

sup gigglers gary fix the wi-fi manifest that shit we can't be managed i mean the day just got away from me what's up my granola gigglers that's a good one i hear a dog in the background barking are you okay no am i ever are you under attack probably i'm like is he right there no he's not he's downstairs what makes him bark like what are the things that get him going oh god people in hats which is very you coded he's like i hate that hat i hate that hat don't wear a hat around this guy take off that hat people running swiftly any type of commotion really people with guns horses who has he run into with guns on the tv oh he hates the tv hates the tv anytime there's a ball on the tv and not in his mouth upset so you get why kitty beats the shit out of him like how are you i'm good every time we get on the bottom like i haven't talked to you in so long i literally that was butter do you know why she did that because i ordered sushi and it came right when page was like i'm ready to eat and my sushi is just going to be sitting here the whole pod and butter knows something so and she's not food motivated don't take don't don't take a phrase i say off the pod and then use it on the pod me and daphne were at a shoot today and they were like oh my god she's so well behaved and i said because she's not food motivated and hannah turned around and said you could never tell by looking at her and then we press record and i said i am a little i don't want to say jealous because i support women in the arts totally i'm original cat girl yes you're the face of fancy feast yeah sierra just came out jasper is the star and let me say sierra is also og cat girl that's how sierra and i initially connected which yeah granted they cut a lot from summer house but that was one thing i was like i get it you don't need 45 minutes of us talking about our cat right so that i respect that that jasper's starring in a campaign which i'm so proud of him for he deserves it he's gorgeous he's put in the little double butter if you're watching youtube she's here butter do you realize other cats are putting in hours they're responding to emails they're listening to what people say and actually they're a pleasant pleasant person to be around on the job daphne might want to go to an ivy league she needs to save her money no one's ever said you're pleasant to work with butter because you're not and you're only good around me and no one else but if that's you know what some cats aren't made for stardom and that's totally fine but she's so beautiful and people forget that every day she looks like cindy crawford that's cindy crawford wait oh wait how sad that cindy crawford's son died he was only 27 it like really affected me when i heard it i think it's because like he's i was gonna say he's a but he's not it's no when people who pass who are younger than you it it's really fucked up yeah and i just feel like being him being in rehab it's like that's even sadder because his family was probably like okay he's getting the help he needs like it's only up from here and that i just i can't i couldn't imagine that and also like i couldn't i can't imagine losing your only sibling at such a young age and she's younger than him i think you know i think it's because both of us we have one brother yeah and he would speak up a lot about mental health so like i loved everything he was doing yeah knowing that he was going through something um so yeah it's just really fucked up it's really fucked up and really sad there's no way to transition how about we stay medical and i'll do a little uti update oh the gigglers are always looking out for me they're always tagging me in like new innovation for utis and all this stuff and i haven't said anything because i didn't want to jinx myself but next month i'm one year of no utis do you think it was a was there a psychic that you spoke to or was there like a little did you cut a cord or put something in a fridge what do you think it is i think my own intuition was rejecting every man i've ever been with one i think my body was like nope not him we'll let you know nope not him definitely not him we'll let you know but then also i went to my doctor my kinesiologist who i don't know if i've said his name before on the pod but like honestly i kind of want to gatekeep him because i'm like no you bitches have to put in the work i i found him 10 years ago like this is i'm not trying to lose appointments um but he put me on two supplements that just like that honestly i don't even still take what are they one was like a uh cranberry supplement but it was like double what the normal i think cranberry supplement is and then the other one was oregano honey i said my mom could have cured this 20 years ago low-key when he said that to you you were like oh you saw my last name was a sorbo now you're giving me fucking oregano is this a joke is this a joke to you he was like put a bay leaf in it like it'll fix it no he's like did you sprinkle some parmesan on your pussy get out of here truly i know i say this a lot but it's truly life-changing well yeah you were you had chronic pain it was debilitating and also not even like when you were getting one it's the anticipation of like when you're going so like every time i traveled and i was like away from home i was like okay i gotta make sure i have all my uti stuff just in case one strikes the only time i ever feel like a little hankering of a uti is when i'm dehydrated or whenever you don't want to go somewhere i get a text and she goes i feel like i feel like coming on i feel it might be coming on in the next year or two my mom made me stop drinking my stanley because she said it's bad for me because your body is not supposed to drink anything cold and so she's like stop drinking your stanley i drink room temperature water so and room temperature water so gross so honestly i'm dehydrated all the time now well you can still drink from your stanley that's what i do but not because i i'm not drinking it's because i don't honestly because my freezer's broken i feel like i can't fill up my stanley and not put ice in it i've put ice in my stanley like three times and it was too heavy it does get really heavy also if you're not drinking from your stanley and then you can't drink from plastic because of microplastics or whatever macroplastics all the plastics then where are we supposed to drink from the faucet like taylor frankie paul no the girls are going through it everyone's mad that we said we were going to talk about this mormon housewives and we didn't i finished it do you have any other thoughts besides the sweatpants apparently she's out mckayla's out i knew mckayla was out i didn't know taylor frankie paul's out the mormons are dropping like flies but also i don't i don't trust anything right now this is like they don't know what they're doing yet with the show was it you that told me that the that taylor frankie's paul's mom was on the internet like she's doing full episode reviews being like taylor are you for real are you for real taylor are you feeling for real until tiktok became a thing there's so many phrases and like situations that you've just like never heard of and like i always see the phrase like oh she your mom was your first bully or like oh this person's mom was their first bully which is such a foreign concept to me because i couldn't imagine having that relationship with my mother but i think that they're kind of a great example of it like any episode i've watched with the mom with taylor i'm there's so many times where i've wanted to go through the screen and be like wait but that's your daughter like not that i have kids i don't have to go that hard but i know for a fact if my child did the worst thing imaginable i'm still on their side that's my child the first scene is her being like mom i have to take a pregnancy test and the mom is so mad and like even just to say the word disappointed like fine be disappointed as a parent but to look your daughter and i'd be like i'm disappointed in you also because we learned that taylor's mom was in her own like abusive relationship and i think she's seeing it again with taylor so there's honestly the truth is this show is so good it's so real they plucked these girls from tiktok they were just a chaotic friend group plus some added people for casting and it's raw these people are not you know never claimed to be mentally healthy yeah everyone combusted everyone spontaneously combusted she is the victim of serious religious trauma i mean even macy she got pregnant at like 19 and instead of like the shame she must have felt and then the trauma of losing him. also everyone's getting married everyone's pregnant how can you think straight when you're always pregnant and then Michaela who was abused and then got pregnant at 16 it's like okay wait but you're you're you were still a child then yeah and then Jen and her husband is 26 right now no her brain just fully formed she woke up and she's like where am I people are really mad at Jen for this past season for multiple reasons and as someone who doesn't know Jen and is not in their friend group I think I we can like see different things as the viewer one she's in she's in she got her pink back I got my pink back pink back pink back like she's obviously so visibly jealous of Whitney she wants to be doing the things that Whitney is doing and she but she was so complimentary of her she didn't want shader yeah but she was like picking a fight with her whatever then that could be just like producers being like but don't you still have beef with her like we need a storyline type of vibe I just think it's so important to recognize people in your friend group who genuinely hate their lives because it impacts like and I feel like I've called you so many times after being on the phone with a friend and like said to you things they've said to me and you've said back to me like okay but Paige she hates her life like her like you know like she's not happy so like how could she be happy for you type of vibe that's when I say baby I have empathy for them Jen is a classic case of she was sold this idea of what her life was going to be when she was like 20 fucking one and now she's 26 she's four kids deep yeah how is she digging herself out of that hole to like have a different life that she clearly wants it's also so fascinating because all these women got what they wanted which was the money and the power but then like the society around them especially in Mormonville hasn't figured out I'm kind of like guys move out of Utah well I think it's inappropriate that all of their husbands stopped working and then bought a cyber truck and then complained like you can be rich enough that your spouse doesn't have to work but like and like I don't know I don't know I don't know unless you're taking care of the kids full time babe aren't you bored like what I don't think Connor complains about taking care of the kids I hate when the men complain about taking care of the kids no but he seems like someone who thought about being a stay-at-home dad before it was possible yeah we're like when Zach was like I'm exhausted I was this how he talks I'm exhausted Jen I was with the kids for two full days and I let you go on dancing with the stars and delivered and then you want to have sex with every action the phrase let you coming from a man no I'll spontaneously combust I will spontaneously combust also Jen is so cute and like bubbly and she needs to get her pink back I don't mind a stay-at-home dad but I don't want him to use it against me all the time I want him to be like it's like when you meet a guy who loves cooking if he's totally like go off cooking cook for me I love it no like have a hobby for sure oh you mean like I love cooking I love cooking I love cooking I love cooking I love taking the kids to play golf or whatever like yeah take them I love that for you get out of here I do think that it's just so interesting because the girls got the money got the power and sudden and are miserable but it's I think it's a good lesson in like that stuff really doesn't make you happy like who just who just went on a press tour oh uh Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock they're on their press tour for Practical Magic love and they were asked when both of them won the Oscar where were you at in life and Nicole Kidman was like I was probably the saddest I've ever been I went home after winning an Oscar and thought I need to start a real life like and that's so true like you have to have people around you period that's what it is it's it's good relationships in your life because they actually did accomplish a lot of their dreams but then they outgrew the people around them yeah but then stayed with those people and then they're wondering why there's so much tension and why it feels wrong it's like because baby you've grown out of this your universe is pushing you away look obviously like we're so busy and we're working and there's women our age that are married and have children and so they're even busier I like recently usually I'm like okay I don't like my friends know we're friends like I don't have to like see them all the time and like I don't have to text them all the time but recently I've been actively making a mental note of like okay I have to text Katie tomorrow because I haven't checked in on her in a few days I'm like okay and I have to remember it's Alexa's birthday like we have to go out and do something to celebrate her birthday I'm not letting a year go by and we didn't celebrate you know like you have to like really you get to a certain point in your life where you're like okay I've accomplished certain things I've done certain things what's really important and it really is community like it's the thing that keeps you living the longest no and world's peace at 35 35 um you're 33 you're such a little baby um I'm turning 34 in a month I know but let's enjoy 33 yeah let's and but we we do have small the smallest circles we've ever had teensy weensy but if you've made it through like it's like when you're cooking pasta and what what's it called a sifter okay I don't know I feel you know I went like a whole year at one of my apartments without a pasta strainer a strainer and I don't know what I used but I ended up doing something the whole time anyway I digress that's crazy the point is yesterday I realized I don't have a potato masher I thought I'm an adult now I just ordered a potato I didn't know that was the thing you had to make mashed potatoes oh I thought you used like fork no my mom uses like a thing that oh it has like waves right yeah and it has like the little circle thing you're like I called my mom and there is something people use for that well I used a meat cleaver instead oh Jesus what is what is this um did you see there's a new like monsters who does all the monsters film I watched it Lizzie Borden yeah who does it what's it called who's the guy Ryan Murphy yeah what is this a Ryan Murphy the meat cleaver there's always a meat cleaver some hot guy with the meat cleaver wait actually people were telling me to watch that Lizzie Borden show on was it good yeah I'm on her side I would have killed my parents too okay you don't have to give it away they know it's people know no I'm just that's what people do to me so I was projecting you see guys that was projection that was projection um if I was her I would have taken an axe to my stepmom too I went to my friend Allie's birthday party where I feel like I don't know if a couple years ago I would have gone I might have stopped by but it's like I was at this time in my life where I'm like she means the world to me it's her birthday I don't know if I know a lot of people there I'm scared and I'm alone but I'm gonna go because I'm an adult wow I just preached that two minutes ago and I was also invited to this birthday and I said nope not going yeah she's like worst page I'm like it's not her journey yet it's not her journey you

we've been getting like so many nice messages about you know announced that we're going to we're growing we're going to different network and I was wondering like why it might be hitting a chord for some people because I've gotten some like intense messages and I think it's because maybe they relate to us in a way where we were kind of like we're not going to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be where everyone has been in a relationship or with a friend where they've told them like you suck you're not going to make it you're a loser nobody likes you like literally lady gaga you will never be famous and I think everyone saw it happen to us publicly in a couple different ways so then I hope that it motivates anyone listening that anything you have going on in your life if people are hating on you for it they see something in you and they're scared and keep chasing your dream go for it and it's going to feel so good because it's taken us six years like that is a long time of pasta straining I would say all these callbacks we're out of control wait i'm just looking at my foot right now what's going on what's going on i'm scared and i had the most hannah thing happened to me last night in bed i'm like falling asleep like my eyes are closed like i'm i literally i took two lemmy gummies like i'm fun i'm going in i'm going to be up for a week you have to call the police wait everyone's like oh my god you have the craziest dreams and i'm like it's actually the perfect sleep but anyway but the most hannah thing happened to me in bed that i actually started laughing i was like this is so not my brand this is so much more i like moved my foot in the sheet and it like my toenail like caught i was like what the hell is this my toenail like caught on the sheet and i get my toes done every three weeks when i they get my nails you got a hangnail babe welcome to the party no hannah and then i like flip my leg up okay and i grab my toe with my hand my eyes are still asleep i'm that's not hannah coded because i can't touch my toes but continue she's like i took my leg put it around my neck so i'm laying down i flip my foot up i grab my toe my whole half my nail i rip it off i rip it off and i take it out from under the sheets and i'm looking at it it's actually probably right here somewhere if i had a nickel i was like oh my god no i can't find it i was like this is so hannah can i say something in defense of toenails like when you hear that someone loses their toenail it sounds gross the way i lose my toenails is very like shark teeth there's always a toenail growing underneath no you have a weird toe thing happening well my whole life playing tennis the toe the toenails go away but i just have to say i don't know if you guys have noticed page has been overworked having to put her little feet in these little tiny heels and like walking around new york city that's why your toenail fell off babe yeah i was like wait when was my toenail falling off i'm like i've been new york fashion week i've been so busy i didn't even notice my toenail was falling off like that's so not me i'm inspecting my body head to toe every seven minutes i have a mirror that scans me no i would love that abnormal pimple uti coming soon nipple hair found in a strange very dark i do think about you a lot when you are shaving your nipples when i look in the mirror like before i'm getting in the shower specifically and i think you know hannah doesn't even look in the mirror no like why do you have to stand here and like look at yourself before you get in the shower i'm growing on you you're really growing on me i'm gonna try and not to like a bacteria like a foot fungus if you will speaking of feet you know like when you're staying up late and you're like it's already late like it's 2 a.m what is 3 a.m what is 4 a.m like you're already up late that's how i feel except 5 a.m different different that's 5 a.m is morning you're in the morning you're just starting your work day yeah you're answering emails already yeah um but the way i feel about that is how i feel about like showing up to a shoot with you like if i'm not fully shaved spray tan it's like okay why am i even trying so i was naughty and i showed up to a shoot my nails were done which was like the bare minimum for you but you know that was hard for me totally really unshaven like dark no no spray tan so i was uneven no hannah you weren't just your legs weren't just unshaven it was almost as if you had been planning this and did it on purpose no it could it looked like yeah it looks like i was wait how long was that scientifically question asking how long not shaving yeah how many days how many days or weeks was that on your legs because i'm just trying to compare what what happens is sometimes i travel and then i can't find my razor and that's when i get really fucked but the funniest part about it is is you know i had full laser hair removal on both my legs for like nine months didn't do anything your hair grows slower than mine like i could never go as many days as you go you know what it is because two or three days i'm like still okay and then i look down and i'm like that's like not human yeah um but then i didn't get my toes done and of course wait no the shoe i ended up wearing was a clear like it looks like for cinderella and i'm like this is page is gonna throw up there's a difference between not getting your toes done and whatever the fuck you walked in with okay there's a difference between a little paint chip and you putting your toes through a wood chipper and then presenting uh them to us in a heel i did lose half of my nail and i had grown out my toenails from the summer to where it actually looks like a french i would say because it was like white that had been grown out um it was diabolical but my thing was it would have taken too much work for me to get all that together that i was just like let's just she'll see it she'll get mad and then we'll move on you know i think because you played a sport when you were younger you weren't ever just home in your room being like what can i do today because lenore seems like you were scheduled oh you were scheduled every second of the day lenore had a place i needed to be yeah you were scheduled you did a sport you did that every single day i was over here like maybe i'll do gymnastics this week maybe like i don't want to be a girl scout anymore like i had my brand yeah i need to rebrand for seventh grade yeah i'm like i'm not tap jazz and ballet anymore mom get it together we're doing something new so i feel like i had a lot of time to be like in my room and i also had a very girly mom so like she did all like my mom never went even to this day my mom does not go get her nails and toes done well she gets her toes done but she doesn't get her nails done she does them herself so i learned how to do my nails i i was doing french manicures at in third grade like i could do the stem of the week yeah like we were at home prepping i don't know what we were prepping for wait you were alex earl's little sister um isabel yeah like i was doing like i was doing my nails like i was i was getting out of the shower she was putting my hair in the shower and i was doing my nails and i was doing my nails and i was in like foam rollers i was falling asleep waking up for school taking them out once a year i would get my nails done because nana got her claws in me and like i found myself having a full day like shopping with nana and we always end up and she'd be like pick and she'd say pick a shade of red i love her no i love her and she said you have to do a shade of red and her nails were always done my nails were never done wait i was actually just at a shoot and someone brought up like letting their hair go gray and i go my best friend wants to let her hair go gray and not on my watch so you know my mom is letting her hair go gray but she's in this like early period of it where it just looks like kind of like sparkles over her brown and this really beautiful woman stopped her through us open was like i just want to say your hair looks so good the way it is so natural going gray okay but can i say something it's because lenore's beautiful no hannah no you're beautiful lenore's an intellectual like you see lenore and you're like so is kim kim's a woman in stem yes but see kim is a different type of intellectual like lenore is like was a principal like she you know she's in the rooms she's in the rooms lenore's like the new york times yeah okay kim's kim is like the new york times yeah okay kim is like oh my god kim is like the head mafia boss that you didn't know she was in charge you thought it was this guy it's really kim in the back like that's her type of intellectual why are you talking to him you're gonna have to talk to me she'll slit your throat you didn't even know she was in the room like there's so many times that i feel like in business like people will like think that i'm doing something but really it's like well my mom told me actually to do that do you know what my favorite thing is with me and you in business people don't know who's in charge oh between you and i like in a zoom meeting they don't know right because the second you think i know what i'm talking about you come in and it's like hannah shut up and you say something and then you get quiet for 40 minutes they're like she's not listening hannah's the one who's in charge but then we flip like they don't know it's situational it is purely situ it's because we don't know who's in charge it's it's whoever has taken a liking to that project more or like is in charge we're just always on the same page so we're just like riffing da da da fun on the zoom and then afterwards we get on the call and we're like that's a note right so funny because someone called me today okay from our mutual person from both of our teams call me today gives me the scenario runs me through everything i say something and she goes okay well hannah said the opposite said this and i go okay well whatever hannah said well it's funny because she asked me and i was like i don't know i don't know i don't know no and she goes well page said the other thing i go page doesn't give a shit i said this is not something page is gonna fight for so you're gonna listen to me right now I go, I don't give a fuck. So if she already said no, then why are you calling? You said yes because you were like 50-50. I don't care. Anywho, I digress. Wait. Yeah. Since we're on like the work theme, there's discourse on TikTok, specifically heavy in Gen Z and millennials. The argument is, do you show up to a job interview with a coffee, with an iced coffee? If I'm doing like six job interviews that day, maybe. Like if it's an emergency, like I'm like running and I'm feeling like shit. Morning. No, it's like you have a job interview at like 930. Are you walking into the job interview holding an iced coffee? I don't. I wouldn't. But I also don't think I would like not hire someone because of it. Okay. Hannah, that's exactly what I did. I put myself in the situation, and I thought, no, I'm not walking in with an iced coffee. Because that's too much admin. Like I need to worry about the task at hand. Like what's my biggest weakness? Like I can't. Right. But if I'm the one hiring the person and someone walks in holding a coffee, I'm not even thinking about it. Like I don't give a fuck. It's a fun debate. Maybe I could judge them by their coffee. Like if they came in with like a full Frappuccino, I'd be like, are you mentally stable? Because you're 34 and you're downing Frappuccino. Are you serious? Are you serious about the position or? It's just a fucking joke to you. No. If someone came in with like a full Starbucks Frappuccino. Do you know, I used to get that for lunch. I used to love those. Cause we'd have like $10 for lunch. And I'd be like, I could get a full chicken and broccoli, like at the Chinese place, or I could get a strawberry caramel white chocolate Frappuccino extra large. And me and my friends would just be walking around with the bigger than our bodies. Well, at this age now, I think my first question would be like, do you take lactate? What's like your gut situation? Yeah. How are you taking that to the face right now? I'd be more intrigued than annoyed. Actually, I'd be like, you can handle hard things. Yeah. I'm like, you have a stomach of steel. You're a gladiator. You're the pit bull from now on. Okay. Cause I run queasy, you know, literally it was 1 PM pages burps. And I was like, oh my God, I can't do this. I can't do this. I can't do this. I can't do this. I can't do this. The wind blows in the wrong way. And I could get a little nauseous. Just nervous about my existence. Truly. You ever just get nervous about like, just like what's the next. I'm just like too aware of my existence. Like I'll just be, whenever I'm supposed to just be enjoying life, I always go, and is this the life I'm supposed to be living? Like can we just, for one second, not analyze it. No, I'll be like, no, it's so bad. No. It's so bad. Do you feel like everyone does that though? No, I don't. Like you're ever in a situation that like, only you put yourself in that situation. There's no one else to blame. And you're just like, is this what I really want? This might be selfish, but I do think I'm also neurodivergent. We're like, even in school, like I remember everyone else to just like watching the teacher or like watch. Yeah. And I would be watching everyone else watch the teacher. Like I was the one that's not in the moment. Like I was thinking about them. You're an anthropologist. Sorry. I love sociology. Yes. Sorry. You love to study people. I have crazy news for you. And I can't believe this is three episodes in that we're still talking about hydrox. First of all, it's not hydrox. It's hydrox. It's hydrox. Who gives a fuck? I have to tell you something that's really upsetting. You have to brace yourself. No. And also this, as a millennial, this is the most millennial offensive thing I've ever heard. Hydrox stands for hybrid rock star. What the fuck are they talking about? What's a hybrid rock star? It's like girl boss, like pussy popping, kick ass, workout. Cheetah girls, cheetah sisters. Hybrid rock star. I'm confused by the branding. I do support any woman who does this because I love female athletes. However, who, who's, I need to know the story behind this. We'll talk about it next episode because we're not done with this. I'm Googling it right now. Okay. The high rocks origin. Because there's no rock stars involved. It's not a music thing. It's okay because it was. Is it a charity or something? It was started in Germany. It's okay. Oh, the, uh, it's okay. Okay. That's cool. Yeah. It's okay. And that's for them. And it was founded in 2017 by a two time Olympic gold medalist. And that's fine. It was the first high rocks event took place in Hamburg in 2017. No, but the fact that it's German, it means that it, it also like, I wonder what the German translation is. That's scary. Anyway, if you ever did, Jennifer Hudson's, I was going to say walk a shame, but like Hannah, Hannah, I got asked Hannah. I got asked and yep. And I know exactly what you're going to ask. What am I doing when I'm walking down the aisle for when they're dancing? And you want to know what I said? Sorry, I can't come because I have a prior commitment, which I did. But in my head, I was like, no, I can't go on that show. I'm not dancing down the line. Well, this is my question. Some people, some people dance and I was like, I'm like, that's good. Then some people dance. You're like, that's bad. But then some people, I, and you know, I'm like, I have a lot of false confidence. Some people, I'm pretty sure just go and think I'll come up with it as I go. And it's crazy. Like I would have to plan what my moves are going to be. I'm not just going to let the music take me. Okay. But what if what you planned isn't the beat of the song they do. And then all of a sudden you're doing the Macarena and they're, and they're singing Cotton Eye Joe. Like then what do you do? I think I would do the worm. No, it's a quick walk. And that would, the worms going backwards. You have to go. So many good points are being made right now. No, I literally, I said, I love Jennifer Hudson. I can't make it work with my schedule right now, but honestly, I'm, I, I was too nervous. Cause I don't want to do the walk. But like you would do it all like shy. Like you'd be like, and you'd like do a spin. You'd do like one twirl. That's actually a good idea. Yeah. Like what we, what I'm saying is if you did it, we'd have to choreograph it and it's okay if it's not on the beat, as long as you commit to something. Cause some people go and they're flailing and I'm like, you didn't think this one through. Yeah. And that's all I thought about when I saw the email. It's all I thought about. Yeah. Do they make up a song? They make one up. Yeah. That's where they get. Yeah. Cause you're like, you're like an eight beat. I don't know anything about music. Yeah. I feel like that's, I also did. I'm gonna put this in the ether. I did have a dancing with the stars pro DM me. I heard. And I'm going to protect the identity because we don't need to like get into semantics, but I'm dancing with the stars. Did you guys, that's the one thing that I actually don't believe in myself about. And I know it's not about winning. It's about like trying new things, but like I have had a page, try new things. Right. It's about putting yourself out of your comfort zone. Okay. Leaving the house. Leaving the house is out of my God damn comfort zone. You ever have a panic attack in a grocery store. Let me tell you, it's exhilarating. But the funny thing is if I could do the splits, I would have done dancing with stars 10 years ago. Yeah. Well, if I could do the splits, I would have done a lot of things. If I could do the splits, I wouldn't be here right now. Fuck you. And this podcast. I'd be on a yacht right now. But unfortunately I have really tight hips. In the, um, like Alex Earl reality show. There's like a clip that she said, like her, she's talking about like her dad, like buying her boob job. And he said like, Oh, well like I knew it was going to be an investment in your future. And in my head, I'm like, how many girls watch that and looked at their dad and was like, see, like it's like could be something, you know? Oh, I know. I don't want people to feel that way. No, I know. I don't want a page. Doesn't have boobs. You guys, and she's done really well up until this point. No, I haven't. Okay. Oh, I mean, no, that was Freudian. And guys, I have boobs and I don't even show them. I really can't take the stress of a boob job. Maybe like after a child. Okay. Do you want to tell them how much you loved me? Because I was wearing my, I was showing my boobs on the other day. No, so many things happened that day for me to like be drawn to you. One, I picked out, I was lowest on Friday.
