Giggling about nails salons, cysts, and chest hair

The podcast features a lively, conversational exchange between hosts about personal experiences, cultural trends, and body image. Topics range from nail salon encounters and the growing trend of men shaving more to critiques of societal beauty standards and gender norms. The hosts emphasize self-acceptance, particularly around body hair and skin conditions, challenging outdated expectations and celebrating individuality. They discuss real-world issues like violence against women, such as the cases of Lindsey Clancy and Hayden Penetier, to highlight systemic misogyny and the need for greater awareness. Personal anecdotes—like ingrown hairs, pickled garlic cloves, and unshaven legs—are used to illustrate deeper themes of autonomy and authenticity. The conversation also touches on fashion, celebrity culture, and humor, such as the "finger game" where listeners assign personality traits to fingers. Ultimately, the dialogue fosters a sense of community, encouraging listeners to embrace their bodies, challenge norms, and live with confidence and joy. The hosts conclude with excitement about a cat cafe event, underscoring their commitment to celebration, self-expression, and connection.

know how you can buy in a jar and it's got like cauliflower and carrots and like peppers and it's all pickled yeah it's like that i feel like this is so hanna-coded of you no it right when i ate it for the first time i was like i gotta tell my friend hannah about these isn't it fun to be hanna-coded like so fun telling people stuff and then being like oh you guys have no rules you guys are out here just like living every day the pages are in a cage of misogyny and beauty standards and we've put them in a cage of misogyny and beauty standards and we've put them in a cage of misogyny and beauty standards and we've put them in a cage of misogyny and beauty standards and we've put them in a cage of misogyny and beauty standards and we've put them in a cage of misogyny and beauty standards and we've put them in a cage of misogyny and beauty standards and we've like four thousand times during a given day and they had a nest new york candle and you know when you're like checking out the candle and it was like making my day like it smelled so fucking good i was like an addict i was like give me fucking more that sniff let me sniff that i feel like nest you can just like get at

them you can't live without them they grow up so fast they grow up so i can't believe they're already out of the house you guys are empty nesters bobby i thought it was going to be more upset i thought i was gonna go up so i'm like oh my god you're leaving and he goes yeah i'm going on an airplane he didn't even turn around and wave um but i wanted to shout out genie because she's pregnant their mom with a third and she actually has a tiktok that's great because she's a former nurse a former a former nurse what's the one's nick you nurse so she knows what she's talking about and she's funny so if you're becoming a mom a mom just interested in mom stuff follow mama genie d on tiktok it's funny because she made a tiktok like a couple months ago about something i don't need i don't even know if it was pregnant i think it was like labor related and i saved it and i was like i'm so happy that hannah is related to her so that like when i have a baby i can just text her and it won't be weird her videos are super educational but also funny yeah she's very funny anyway shout out genie what else is in my notes oh we never commented on i posted something that i was trying to trigger a response from you i page baited oh and you didn't even respond i don't know if i saw it what was it it was a photo of my nails over my upper thigh and you could see all the hair on my upper thigh i dm'd you oh you did what did you say i would never let that go hannah please i actually think between all the messages of the pages yours got lost because the pages were like as the page i don't know what to be more mad at because you want to know what you send me an insane amount of memes like no like it's insane you're one of a my phone and my only job is to send stuff to you guys sorry i didn't mean for this to sound like i was complaining i'm not complaining it fills my day with joy doesn't i have a bad ratio too because look i'm i'm a sender i'm a giver now i can't find it it's possible you responded in your head no i typed something up i might have texted me personally about it because i'm at the beginning of august and i don't see it which means wow we go through a range of emotions i thought my upper hair looked so pretty my upper thigh hair against the sun like it's really sparkly right now in the summer it's like blonde and very cute and soft like peach fuzz i really hope our messages never get subpoenaed because just like scrolling our dms is actually scary hannah look i i'm so supportive of you having long leg hair because like who told us other than the patriarchy that we have to shave like you're not less of a woman because you have hairy legs and undone nails most women have hair on their legs at some point or other i grow hair everywhere my italian boyfriend grows hair and that's scary for him and i grow hair in places my irish husband doesn't grow hair so that's something i have to deal with no exactly which leads me to my next point i don't know because i am an elder however i heard that the gen z boys come closer are shaving everything and i learned that from some people but i didn't believe them and then i saw a video of young blood are you familiar with young blood for people only listening to audio i'm so sorry right now because are you familiar with are you young blood is this the audition hannah and i have like you know we have to play that game where it's like you hold the phone up and it says a saying and it's like we say this one because we really have so many but like is this the audition for pippin it's just like somewhere you're supposed to be but you don't want to be there so you turn and you say it's audition for pippin and then when i would tour all these theaters would have like shows that they would do and then whenever it said pippin i would send it to her mr people so anyway young blood he was wearing these like crazy he's like a rock star and he's like shirtless and he's wearing these like really low rise tight leather pants talking about wait pubes yeah yeah yeah yeah and like i wasn't trying to look like i'm not trying to look totally it was there and i just noticed that i was wearing these like really low rise tight leather pants and i was like not a pube in sight so he's wearing a low rise like he's acting like old school rock stars except they had their pubes out like they had their and it was it was hot and you'd see like the happy trail and they were like hey i have crabs right now yeah you could see the crabs crawling through their pubes he's shaven yeah it's gonna get what's it called like you know when a guy like shaves his chest then you like put your head on his chest literally it's prickly yeah why are they they doing i don't know am i one of these old people that's like everyone should have a bush but like i don't think guys should be shaving their pubes unless you're requested it a drag queen oh sometimes giggly squad is mad libs and it's just you say things and i try i actually never finish a sentence i just say a thought and you try to guess also the gays can shave because they're perfect and i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm they're expressing themselves well they're doing things they have stuff to do you know yes yes i mean some of these guys are shaving their legs it's come to my attention that over the years they're shaving more and more i was at the beach recently and i came across a group of men and i realized they all had their armpits shaved now in the summer is it does it get a little squirrely are you gonna take a scissor maybe trim a little so it's not popping out totally fully shaven no no and but you know there have been moments that i've been shaving and i've been waxing and i said the men should have to deal with this too but now that they are i like chest hair are you kidding i love it show me that you're a man yeah like your mom's chest hair like yeah i love it look everyone has different taste and some girls might like a baby dolphin-esque man yeah instead of shaving your legs like build a business build a business call your children work fight the patriarchy with us oh i want a man to care about his appearance and the way he presents himself to the world yeah no no i don't want a man who is doing routines that i do to look like me like to be me you know you're so there's something nice about being with a man who doesn't have to worry about if his legs are shaven or not and if you're worrying and i'm worrying that's a you guys don't have a beauty standard what are you doing like the random things they do it's like for what who like you guys don't even have to get botox like shut up so true you don't need the extra razors so true my brother just moved into a

interested in my toolbox and I was like oh my god I'll like put a should you start a toolbox business for girls and I just put all my ex-boyfriends in it um and I got a question and someone was like what where do you keep your bolt cutters like living in New York City like where do you like where do you keep your bolt cutters in apartment living and like how often are you pulling them out wait what's a bolt cutter remember when remember when I lived in that one building and they locked my storage unit because they said I didn't pay the fee and I was like not only did I pay the fee I paid twice for one month and you like and you guys wouldn't give me my $50 back and you're clearly over it so they locked my storage unit and I said uh-uh honey call the police on me so I ordered bolt cutters on Amazon and I bolt cutted it off I said you're not gonna lock up my stuff that I paid for you never told us this did you put on like a black mask when you went down to do it no but you want to know what I whipped them up like I'm walking down to the storage unit door and see my bolt cutter so whatever someone was like where do you keep your bolt cutters and I started laughing hysterically because I keep them next to my bed because I don't own a gun I don't own a gun and I don't intend on owning a gun but god forbid someone gets through my doors bolted and gets into my bedroom you have another bolt coming your way and it's my bolt cutters every now and then I forget you're you're just a small town girl you know you're just a small town girl and you're living in a big city by myself I'll stop them you're not getting past me my bedroom you're not like you're literally not I think I have so much rage for men that like if a man really did try and like do something to me I would it my fight or flight would be insane and you know you to your bed or like not visible like next to your vibrator no that she's in a cute little box tucked away she can't be seen no i keep them like leaning up against my nightside table so that if i hear someone i can grab them i'm not shuffling around under my bed things happen fast hannah they happen quick you've got to be able to move no i'm so you just live life and fight or flight you're just like no actually with the podcast every now and then there's like a little sound in the breeze and page would be like someone's breaking in and we have to wait three minutes for you to make sure no one's broken into the house for you to continue the podcast it's we've actually lost years of our life to this there's a lot of freaks out there okay and for whatever reason i draw them in there's a lot of freaks you can't trust them no you can't trust them which brings me to my next point may i i don't know what's going on in the universe but the lindsey clancy case at the same time as the hayden penetier situation and we talked about hayden penetier last pod but i don't i didn't like i thought oh she had a she overdosed or she like took her own life she had a really tough life things that are coming out that the ex-boyfriend that she had a restraining order against that him and his brother were at the scene of the crime the month her restraining order was up and in her last building her building put pictures up of the ex-boyfriend like if you see this man he's not allowed in this building like please call the police he was like immediately gave whatever drugs she was on like to the police like brought a bag of drugs like he was so helpful did they declare it i'm not a homicide already i don't think so i think they're they just said like investigating i don't think they declared it anything so many things that happened in nashville like happened in her life and one of the things with nashville one of the singers had a stalker ex-boyfriend who was like showing up at the studio yeah and all the drama of that but anyway we don't know the facts right i also want to say with the lindsey clancy's trial again there's tons of conspiracies out there yeah but at least we can raise awareness to postpartum depression hayden went through it and it's crazy that we have to have like all these different defense mechanisms rather than like dealing with the actual problem of like certain men but i think like one of the things that makes me feel the safest is is like i'm always telling my friend something like i feel like throughout your 20s you go through different relationships and you maybe get into a relationship where you fight a lot and you tell your friend about it and then you get that first boyfriend who's like don't tell your family or your friends anything about us and that is one of the biggest red flags speaker right now yeah like and i know there are a lot of people like yeah don't tell your family because then like if you stay you know you don't want them and there is definitely boundaries like i'm not calling up my mom for every little thing but things that i find big i'm telling her about it and i'm telling my friends because god forbid something happens i want my friend to be like actually she didn't think that and so like with hayden i wish someone to be like she would never have been with him anyway i'm not a lawyer or anything but i feel strongly about it it has to be looked into for sure um but you are definitely on conspiracy tiktok i'm just home eating pickled garlic minding my own business watching reenactments of murders that could have possibly happened speaking of other celebrities yeah i watched the travis barker documentary very interesting yeah very interesting he's like poor kid gets kicked out of his home early because mom dies where is he from i actually don't know the mom early on was like this kid's gonna be a drummer and the mom like would sit with him and make sure he would do all his practices and his before she died she was like make sure he becomes a musician like she like knew he was special how old was he when she died i think in his teens so he immediately started acting out whatever but he gets he gets in a band gets picked up by another band and then blink 182 was on the rise and he was at a festival with them and their guy dropped out the day before and they were like someone was like travis is like the best drummer you should just have him do this gig and he learned everything in one night and they were just like we gotta get this guy wow how old is he i feel like he was early 20s but the thing with travis i guess that like i didn't know was like he really is considered one of the best drummers of all time i didn't know he was i didn't know that but i say blink 182 it is the best of like you make this last forever and ever and ever where is the music like that anymore like i feel like our first two years of high school that's all it was like all-american rejects and like green day i feel like there's no bands like that anymore i just can't wait very first day the men are too busy shaving their goddamn stomachs meanwhile travis was just getting well he was getting tons of tats because he also was the millennial time where like remember people were like if you get attached to you'll never get a job yeah so you remember when people tell you that wait that is similar to like you won't have a calculator yeah travis he like got it on his neck to like make sure he had no plan b and it's like because entrepreneurs weren't a thing influencers weren't a thing it was like if you got a neck tattoo you're you better be a sculpturist or a musician yeah so he like blows up fast forward also he's produced some of like the best songs ever he also does a lot of production anyway he gets in a plane crash and it's not any plane crash because travis has always been scared of flying yeah every flight he would take he would call his dad just in case like he was naturally a nervous flyer he is with four people two of them don't make it him and this dj make it but he was burned from the neck down oh i didn't know that yeah and they had to literally like him and dj am and dj am was the other one who was recovered better like he it wasn't he didn't have bad of a burn and but they said dj am was weirdly like calm about the whole thing where travis was like clearly fucking traumatized yeah they almost said it was weirder that dj am was so calm they were like what's he actually going through and dj am was sober and interesting yeah he was sober oh deed yeah i died of a drug overdose okay so travis recovers from the flying he goes he tells blink 182 i'm not flying anymore i'm take if we do a europe trip i'm taking a cruise so he takes a cruise whenever they have a europe tour to europe and just drives and then drives around europe or however he does it but then he talks about his love story with courtney and like i know it's these documentaries it's like so their perspective but like his perspective was he's always known her she's and he never thought he'd find love again like he's been through divorces he honestly like almost didn't want to live anymore and how she was there for him and then that moment where you realize that this is more than a best friend like i'm in love and he never imagined that she would like love him back and then i guess she got out of her relationship and then like he basically is like i felt like a teenager again in love which i know like the media is just like they just keep licking each other but i don't know like i don't know if i'm in love with him i don't know if i'm in love with him but i think that they it's a really cool story of two people like finding love later in life is so yeah cute because he's not even later and they're only 40 i know but it was literally like it felt like a first love for them yeah like it was giving like this is my first love they're obsessed with each other then they're having so much trouble having a baby she had like miscarriage i think and all this stuff and she's religious and she was like god will give us a baby if we're meant to have one i think it's a really cool story i think it's a really cool story i think it's a really cool story i think they did ivf it wasn't working and then one day she was just like i'm pregnant and yeah now it's just like he's definitely been through a lot of shit um but it's funny the kardashians love a man who's who's going through it i wonder if throughout any of like the fame of the kardashians if obviously like we don't hear about it if they're not famous but i wonder if they do at any point try and date like normal guys just to see like oh maybe i could date a normal guy or if they're just like no not worth it the problem with being that famous is if you date a normal person they immediately are not normal and you ruin their privacy life yeah they're like go back to work have fun like it's like dalton gomez or like he was just a real estate agent ariana's ex oh my god i thought you're talking about like the new york city high school i'm like what the hell does that have to do with anything i'm like you didn't even watch gossip girl what are you talking about you don't know him like i know him um so yeah i feel like other stuff probably happened but that was the gist of it is just he had but he's a crazy hard worker he's passionate and i feel like courtney's been good for like oh yeah he finally started to take care of himself like does he fly now oh yes that was the point of the story so he basically said one day he woke up and he was like i'm ready to fly and his children he instilled it in his children his children are scared of flying both kids are like dad this is a death sentence do not fly mind you i feel like the kardashians fly like six times a day hello there's kylie air kim air well they're in there right now i don't know how they dated unless courtney just like isn't traveling as much or she's like he just didn't go maybe or he was like i'll see you in four days i'm driving she's like okay but she basically he basically says i'm ready to fly he goes plan a trip don't tell me about the trip until 24 hours in advance because i can't have too much time to think about it so one day she's like we're going to mexico tomorrow oh i want someone to do that for me no like it was really romantic yeah and she's like we're going to mexico tomorrow and she said he freaked out and they like obviously it was like a big private plane and she's holding his hand and they get on and they just helped each other overcome stuff which was a nice love rom-com honestly i could overcome pretty much anything on a private flight like i'll get over any of it but he he was on a private flight when it crashed yeah that's scary as fuck to actually be on a plane crash is to be in a situation where you should have died and people did but you didn't i must feel i couldn't imagine you probably feel guilty for living guilt the survivor guilt yeah he's just like why am i here especially when it was his gig like he made everyone else come for him which was really hard for him but ultimately he lost his mom he lost his like he lost a lot of things so to see him keep his head up and get through his addiction and like have a loving family right now was it's inspirational that whatever you're going through there's light at the end of the tunnel which leads me to women's time of the week oh fuck yeah i have two mickey fisher is realized that once you open a bottle of wine if you lose the cork you can put a tampon in it yeah we could have been using tampons this whole time duh wait yeah why didn't anyone think of that like period done way better than a cork and you never get stuck you just pulled out with the string hello oh my god then you could put it

doing questions you use some speak in game show host like sometimes you'll start a sentence and it's like okay and now welcome back what we who's gonna win this one this is the question if you were they saw this online if you were a finger which finger are you i'm pinky all day you don't expect much from me i'm not holding things on my own i'm basically there for a show leave me alone you can change a sip from a normal sip to an elegant sip oh i have a lot of power also when you're evil you use your pinky i've picked things with this pinky now yeah what are you are pinky i was arguably gonna say your ring finger okay and why because it's giving star power it's where the jewelry is it's but i actually think pinky is more independent ring finger like needs a man yeah i would say ring finger is like super misogynistic and i'm like shocked you picked that i thought you were gonna immediately go middle i just thought ring finger i was just thinking of diamonds but i didn't think deep enough and i apologize for misconstruing your identity i think your middle finger because you're you make a statement without saying anything to your haters you're like hey just watch this and they get and they know wait do you respect me because of how i deal with my enemies how do you deal with them i don't yeah i do respect you i was gonna say pointer finger because she's she's active she's a little thicker than the other fingers and she'll try anything once i don't even know why that's funny but it's so funny i actually can argue that also i think i'm a thumb because thumbs are hand-coded i was not like a megan fox thumb but like a normal and i don't mean to shame megan fox but like it's funny that the most beautiful girl in the world has a sh little a little thumb but the thumb is a little too positive yeah yeah it's a little corny it's a little too much yeah you're right i'm a middle finger yeah you're a middle finger i don't know why yeah and i don't know why you're trying to deny yourself what's grace oh she might be pointer finger she might be pointer for sure because she is like very in charge and like like she's in like she's basically telling yeah because we're showmen you know you're you're like this i'm going like this to people she's telling people yeah she's making sure things are in order she's counting she's the liaison between you and the thumb who don't get along they're always fighting over which action is better and so grace has to be in the middle to be like no no no while i'm all the way on the end like don't talk don't know what's going on
