Giggling about networking, nervous stomachs, and tough mudders

The podcast features a lively, personal narrative of a day blending sports, fashion, and social encounters. The host recounts her experience at a Giants game, where she meets celebrities like Jaylen Brunson and Ben Stiller, creating authentic and humorous connections. She shares a heartfelt, impulsive story about her basketball coach grandfather, which becomes a moment of emotional honesty amid the chaos of the event. The day also includes a fashion week appearance, where a protest during a runway show leads to reflections on security, bravery, and vulnerability. She discusses her personal style journey, from a bold purple sock choice to shopping at Revolve for stress-free wardrobe decisions. The conversation lightly explores cultural phenomena like "tough mutters" and the "burnt toast theory," using humor to reflect on bodily discomfort and resilience. Themes of self-acceptance, community, and personal boundaries emerge throughout, especially in her experiences with dental care, bathroom accidents, and social interactions. The host promotes Zevo as a practical and stylish solution to fruit flies, tying it to her identity as a woman in STEM. Ultimately, the episode blends personal anecdotes, cultural observations, and community spirit into a warm, relatable, and insightful reflection on modern life.

to the um coachella who were like we've been here so many times we're just gonna wear whatever no you were like a senior you were a senior at the i have so much to talk about no i have so much i guess i'll just get mine out of the way of the u.s open thing where look you guys i oh first of all andy cohen he was there andy cohen i don't know if you saw this andy cohen gets interviewed by like i think it was like the espn girls who you know are gigglers and they're like andy which bravo liberty would you want to be your doubles partner and they're like so excited you could tell they're like setting them up and he's like huh like complete like no idea he's like couldn't he couldn't pull a name like goes on a little too long being like what what did who and they're like and he's like oh hannah yeah and then i'm like did i not make it clear enough on bravo that i play tennis i feel like you did i thought i did i feel like you said it enough times did you guys play tennis apparently apparently not it was like part of the reason they fired you no literally they were like if tennis comes out of her mouth one more time we're gonna have to pull the plug there were like three guys that were like wait she's actually really good get her off the show so someone said their favorite part was when someone was having a fight and i was in the background playing tennis they were like i

let me just tell you something i've never networked in my life i've never asked someone for coffee i've never seen someone in a room and fuck off no they have to come to me and then we'll hit it off because it's natural um so i happen to play tennis with this girl we pop shout out chelsea since we're like 10 years old and we weren't like friends per se but we we never had beef which is actually huge so like if you haven't had beef with someone who you played junior tennis with you're like we're best friends you're basically sisters and then she went on to play for illinois and i went to play for wisconsin anyway long story short she texted me she was like if you want to go to the semis let me know i got you i was like amazing i'll go come with chelsea so we come in and they're like okay let's take your seats we're walking past sierra and russell wilson who went to wisconsin go badgers we walk past on a winter i'm like okay that's kind of weird we walk past jaylen brunson and ben

that valhalla he's he's also one of the like first out former tennis players like he's an icon i that is so inspiring yeah and he's and he's running the usta which is really really fucking cool so anyway it was just brian being like can i sit next to chelsea handler someone's like how'd you get there i'm like i think the guy just wanted to like laugh the whole time in the front and then you

for this moment yeah when i tell you i was like locked i was locked into the point that i was like foe let's go foe breathe okay i'm gonna need you to breathe right now come on you're like eyes wait did you ever think about being a tennis coach in that moment i was you know oh as you guys know my dad was my coach and he coached the beacons girls tennis team i come from a line of coaches i love coaching and you know what i coach the gigglers every day and one day i will be a coach if you yawn one more time after you told us to record at 8 a.m with your long fingers blocking your mouth i can

lindsey vaughn for the first time did you obsessed with her obsessed lindsey vaughn is the skier yes now lindsey the greatest of all time skier um she also we were such girls because we met and within five minutes we were talking about like dating and like how to just like the deepest possible chat like men would never understand that and i like when you meet a girl and you have this like like the first thought that you both have is like we don't know each other but like you're a girl and i'm a girl so like also as two former athletes combined many olympic titles we really connected over that okay oh we're sitting with lindsey vaughn and renee stubbs renee stubbs eyes light up someone just walked in you it's jaylen brunson and ali brunson from the knicks the king and the first lady of new york now ali brunson's a giggler and arguably like my best friend so she's like i haven't met jaylen yet when i tell you this man's an angel yeah he he looks like he's really nice you know how like people have an aura his aura is so good and calming but he also is silly like he was one i've met a lot of male athletes that like won't make eye contact with women in the room and then when you say something funny they like don't hear it he literally was looking for the next joke like he like wanted to laugh and was like down to clown and was so funny and cute so we're all and he has a podcast with josh and i feel like i'm like josh and you're like jaylen so anyway regardless we're having fun i'm not embarrassing myself like i'm feeling good i'm like two honey dip sips in honeydew sips in which is like i like honey dip though i know what's a honey dip i don't know but i like that you're like she's cute she's yeah then ben stiller comes up am i supposed to be saying all this information anyway yeah this is crazy this sounds like a this sounds like a made-up story ben stiller came up he was like no ben stiller well first of all he everyone's saying hi because we're all like you know just it's ben stiller and then he looks at me and he's like i know you from somewhere and i'm like um co-host giggly squad he was like oh you're a comedian so i'm my mind is blown that's when i started to get a little like not cool yeah and i'm so excited standing there with ben stiller and jaylen brunson and i have this okay this is the one bad moment of the night for me that i haven't forgotten clearly it keeps repeating in my head there's always one i just like there was like kind of a moment where i there was a silence and i was like this came out you know this came out of nowhere i just go you always do something like this this is like i wouldn't even cross my mind to do something like this i already know what you're gonna say before you even said it my grandpa played my grandpa my grandpa was a basketball coach in brooklyn who did you say this to ben stiller and jaylen brunson and what'd they say were they like as i was saying it you know when you realize you don't have an ending to the story so i go and they were like listening like they were like tell us the story they were like they were like yeah literally this is your one shot to become our friend what do you want to say and as i'm saying it i'm like oh no no this is not going anywhere because you could tell immediately if someone's like oh that's that's a cool story and it wasn't so i was like but it was my grandpa from heaven telling me to say hi to them that's what was happening it came out like he needs to chill the fuck out grandpa he's involved in so many facets of our life i've never i didn't even meet the man he was on summer house i know but i never met him stop now i'm gonna get emotional it's only 8 22 a.m but i can't do this right now oh my god don't be emotional because you want to know what you are 35 years old and you still have a set of grandparents no one has that so i don't feel bad for you right now i can't with the two scorpios this segment is brought to you in partnership with zevo one thing that really annoys me is fruit flies because once you see one you know you're about to see 500 it's kind of like a guy with a red flag at first you're like he's having a bad day with the waiter and then you're like oh there's a lot more that came from he's a monster and we have a solution for this exact problem as gigglers we know that we're women in stem so i have this zevo so basically you plug it in and like the bugs just get attracted to it you really don't realize how many bugs are hiding in your home they're sneaky and then they just appear out of nowhere and that's my biggest pet peeve you can't not have fruit platters i know you love a fruit platter i obviously love a fruit platter i love to make them look stunning and gorgeous what i don't anticipate is a bug on my fruit platter no that ruins everything you lose trust from your guests you use lose friendships and next thing you know it's national geographic if you have a fly on your fruit platter people immediately think you don't shower if you have a fly on your fruit platter you have to burn the whole house down if you have a fly on your fruit platter you have to literally go into witness protection we are women in stem because with blue and uv light zevo lures traps and kills flying insects i know you love zevo because it uses uv light and you love uv light i believe in it and it's so easy to plug the device in even i could do it zevo is easy you can just set it and forget it pest control that looks stylish and sleek inside your home because dealing with fruit flies is a full-time job and that's where zevo comes in as women in stem every 15 days we see if the trap is full and we pull out the cartridge with no mess and then swap for a refill it's so easy and bugs are out of sight out of mind my brother um just moved into a new house and it was actually my housewarming gift i said here catch some bugs it's so cute because i know you guys are putting prosciutto and melon everywhere and fruit flies love it they think it's theirs we have italian flies grab your zevo flying insects trap and refill at a major retailer near you to see how many red flags or bugs are in your home thank you zevo for supporting this segment zevo flying insect trap and refills are available at major retailers near you fruit flies be gone um okay so then i say i basically like my grandpa played i mean coach basketball brooklyn but you know there's nothing to this story like literally like but like at least i got out early like i knew to get out early at least you acknowledge i was like this isn't going anywhere i just need to tell you guys that and i was like okay you're like just crazy but that was definitely i like you know when you feel it you're like that was not good that wasn't good yeah but then i turned to ben and i'm like we have to recover and i was like i'm so excited for the documentary and he lights up he gets happy and i said you know i always say when your phone goes horizontal ben stiller's up to something and he starts laughing and then i'm like get out of the you said that's it sometimes no i'm out of control when i'm not around you i'm like who is that girl i don't want to blame anyone but chelsea handler is an enabler you turn into a 1940s like you know what i always say no i'm a dad with a waitress coming to the table like we gotta gotta go to online right now i love chelsea handler because she's literally me but we're dangerous together where she literally looked at me at one point and she's like if we say anything embarrassing we could just go to the other side of the room and they'll forget and i'm like perfect like because we're just yeah but we're good like we come in and we literally separated we're mingling mingling come back together she's like we're a good team and we're just i did say something also risky to jaylen but this was after like we'd been talking like the whole night we're having so much fun and we're sitting down and tiafo was losing and everyone's upset and i turned to jaylen and i'm just like can you give him like some words of advice or something and jaylen like kind of like smiles and i go do you know anything about like sports leadership that's and he like really started laughing and i but like it was risky and i had to do it after like we'd had some camaraderie um yeah and then i told russell wilson that we both played badgers played played for wisconsin together okay i feel like that's like you that's like a normal thing yeah and i also was like you don't remember me we got drug tested together but anyway then i met jojo i saw we're both 35 like the exact same age which is crazy because i'm like wait you you blew up at like 12 i was obsessed with her she's another one like immediately three minutes in we were like talking about like just the deepest thing you can imagine she is such an angel when she became famous like when she had that like that what was the song that like it's just too little too late too little too yeah and i can she like made me want to grow up okay i looked at her i said look look at me i said look look at me i was like how do you do sin look at me you inspired so many girls to leave and get out and i can't quantify how valuable that is well i don't know because we were 12 and so we weren't running away from home like i'm not holding her hand anymore stop telling people we kissed we didn't wait is she married i think she has a man i don't know if she's married but her she she's like i didn't know if she was like married with kids or like i kind of want her to like a blow up right now me too also do you know who i'm obsessed with adela it's literally on my list to talk about things that are keeping the economy going is every time the girls get a god damn anthem like i i don't think the guys even understand what it does for our insides speaking of when we went to michael kors i met um the singer ash who sings stop the wedding what'd you say to her i we just locked eyes and i was like i think that's her because she has like an iconic haircut and she had sunglasses on she looks like a 19 like 50s celebrity like she looks like someone that's like a little bit of a girl and she's like i don't know what to do with that i don't know that was born to be famous just by her like yeah like vibe and we just like went up to each other and we embraced each other like it was one of those moments where you're like i'm a girl you're a girl we agree on things let's hug and it was very emotional and i really enjoyed it it is hard to make eye contact with someone with sunglasses i've had a couple i thought they were making eye contact yeah the pull i felt like you kind of did with jordan across the so jordan woods was wearing sunglasses and she was like i don't know what to do with that i don't know what to do with addresses couldn't tell that she was making eye contact but took a risk i felt like you were but we were shout out jordan woods go nicks um by the way michael kors can we just say tell them about the new york times wait wait i'm literally that friend i'm like tell them the story tell the story we're like walking to our seats and we get like stopped by like these four people sitting like in a row who look really important yeah who looked like smart people like oh you guys are here for a reason yeah yeah and yeah like you're supposed to be here because you're like this is we're just like we're chatting like hey i'm an eternal neck um like i think i said that at one point i was like and i'm an eternal neck you know when in doubt just say what's happening yeah like at the giants game i i'm like and taylor swift might perform here tomorrow you don't know is it confusing and my grandpa played it was a coach wait i just realized i make fun of you for things that i do because it's projection and that's what happens in a morning pod because she's she's just pure i'm clear she's clear

and they are taken seriously in their workplace mm-hmm i get intimidated i'm like what is it like to be taken so seriously in your workplace because i'm a joke like my workplace is and in terms of journalism the smaller the font the more important they are and if you ever try to read a new york times article you gotta squint wait can i say this was not even on my list but go for it since you

boundaries i respect that you're like and that's where i'm gonna have to put a wedge in between our friendship no page i meet i haven't heard of a rubber band in someone's mouth in 15 years how i get to a coffee shop with my husband after this and he looks at me and he's like what's what's going on over here and i order obviously like a bacon egg cheese croissant and i'm trying to take it out i don't know if i take the rubber bands out first or like with it i start taking out with the rubber band flings across hits him in the chest no it's actually a hazard also i think i swallowed a rubber band hannah you get that in in des's eye he's done that's it he's wearing a patch now for the rest of your marriage he he's in a patch also like i i can barely i have long nails how am i like doing surgical the fact they thought i was gonna put two rubber bands on who'd you go to is this like a new dentist had you ever been to them before it's my fault like it's my fault but i have too much faith sorry support us no do you want to know what it is you you're so genuine and trusting of people that when they say hey this is my job this was what i do you say good yeah who would lie to me why would you lie to me good do i hope you do your job well and then you get in there why do you have a business if you can't do your job oh my god so i'm back on my invisalign it really hurts okay um i took it out for the pog because i have respect for the fucking community yeah thank you that would have been i i actually emotionally wouldn't have been able to handle that today if you showed up with rubber bands in your mouth i i actually would have freaked the fuck out like they're literally they're like hanging here like no i would have fucking also like i'm not trying to brag my teeth aren't that bad like i almost looked at the doctor i'm like they're not like they're like yeah even over a bite but like yeah but invisalign is like hey we're just gonna like straighten a couple real quick like also they were trying to put it on my front two teeth and i was like guys like page will actually like she'll cancel the pod i was gonna say this is like one thing that i wanted to bring to your attention and i also wanted to ask the gigglers a question obviously i'm like so against running like i'm not running no like no i'm on tiktok and i see this this guy made this video about like a what are those what are those marathons that aren't running they're like tough like mutters yeah like those it was like he was making a video about one of those and there was a girl at one of them who had shitter pants and all the comments were like i would never keep going with the race like that's like whatever and i was like wait this is such an interesting niche i love that you got on tough mutter tiktok yeah that i would never be involved in show me your culture what do you mean you're shitting you literally were like show me your culture by the way this during college tough mutters were like the cool thing to do like oh i have a tough mutter on friday i'm like putting my glasses on i'm yeah i'm like put it i'm trying to learn more about it then i think i have a thought and i google how many people at the new york city marathon are shitting their fucking pants because that's just got that alone i'm not i'm not going i'm not signing up for way less in funny situations that will then be a great story i didn't realize then google was like oh well it's not like actually recorded how many people are shitting their sorry i don't have but it said like honey it's like 12 percent like there's thousands of people at the new york city marathon that are shitting themselves and no one's talking about it well especially if you just had a coffee and you're like let's go well because they're either stopping the race going in somewhere shitting or they're just shitting in their pants and i'm out and i'm out you see i would be that girl i know and that's actually specifically why i'm out the second you said i'm out i was like i'm in because there's something so beautiful about chasing your dream against all odds and there's something so beautiful about taking a shit in a porcelain bowl and then sitting your ass on a bidet to get extra fucking clean there's something beautiful about that yeah well yeah don't actually and don't let hannah fool you because she has a heated toilet seat that actually changed my life recently i can't i come out of the bathroom hannah goes sorry i had the toilet seat i think a little too high what do you think okay so i got my first heated toilet toilet seat toto shout out toto um i don't know how it works and it's on like a hundred degrees and it feels nice but like i don't i don't want to cook my ovaries longer than two minutes though that's a big tail that's a truly big tail it actually really felt good on my lower my lower spine but also anyway i digress i am i have a somewhat a nervous stomach the amount of times like i have a distinct memory of being like 16 years old and getting invited to you get invited to train with like certain special coaches and if you're good enough the coach is like she can join this academy whatever and it was in new york city i remember my dad and i ate ate something before after school and then he drove me like two hours to this academy upstate or something and we get there and my stomach's like not doing well so i'm just like hey can i go to the bathroom when i tell you i was in the bathroom for the full two hours of the practice and the coach kept being like hey where's hannah and my dad's like i don't know couldn't stop shitting myself so i missed the entire practice oh my god you've been having bowel move like problems for you from a young age but at least i was like couth enough to be like i'm gonna stay here i'm not gonna gallivant around with diarrhea yeah yeah yeah because that's and i said we're gonna have to rain check because mama has a stomach ache and i had a weird sushi like i'm not a baby in a diaper i'm a and going on with my day like the adrenaline you feel like right before we walk on stage or when we're on stage you know that's how people feel doing a tough mutter so like okay but if i every time i walked on stage i shit myself i actually would take get a different profession i could definitely see myself shitting myself and then being like it's a really good story to tell the gigglers and keep going it's also the sports culture of like the more adversity you do and survive it's like you're more of a champion so like sometimes they're leaning into it i disagree a period different period different periods are iconic period different because it doesn't smell and it's not like it's not something your body is like rejecting you're full of mud at the tough mutter hannah i'm not getting a fucking disease because the bitch next to me shit herself and then touched something else no get get the fuck out of here and go take care of that like it's inappropriate i think i do if it happened to me i would run to the bathroom but like you're on the clock so you can't do like a full cleanup but i'd try to do the best i could okay and have you heard of the burnt toast theory god actually decided it's not your turn to win this race i could see you using the burnt toast theory way too often being like oh hannah that's the burnt toast theory i'm like here's the thing i am in fact an hour late but has anyone here in this important meeting heard of the burnt toast theory wait before we go i just have to say one thing did
