Giggling about squatting, stationery, and suppositories
58m 44s
Hannah, a time traveler and self-reflective storyteller, shares a vibrant and candid journey from Hong Kong to Dallas, blending travel anecdotes with deep personal insights. She emphasizes the joy and freedom found in autonomy, especially in the absence of traditional relationship expectations. A major theme is the "mental load" in relationships, which she critiques as burdensome and often gendered, advocating for shared responsibility and emotional balance. She recounts a humorous yet frustrating experience with constipation while traveling, underscoring the challenges of navigating foreign healthcare systems and language barriers. The narrative also includes sharp social commentary on gender dynamics, particularly in reality TV and male-dominated entertainment, where she condemns toxic masculinity and the dismissal of women’s agency. Hannah highlights the importance of personal rituals—like morning warm drinks, gym workouts, and handwritten thank-you notes—as tools for mental well-being. She celebrates women’s independence, self-reliance, and the power of community, especially through shared experiences like her "giggly squad" and support networks. The episode closes with a call to action: voting, self-care, and embracing personal growth, as she reflects on aging, nostalgia, and the evolving nature of love and identity. Through humor, vulnerability, and insight, Hannah presents a compelling vision of modern womanhood rooted in authenticity, resilience, and freedom.

it's like the one rule des was like go outside for a walk i was like bye do you ever find yourself
like by yourself and my favorite thing to do
whether you have a significant other or not yeah but you're just like by yourself and you ever have
like an internal monologue of like oh actually no one's in charge of me and i'll do whatever
i want and whenever you like remember that you have free will it's very liberating yeah the fun
thing about marriage is like yeah you're married but like you're not always with that person so
there's like another identity you have when it's like yes i'm texting i'm saying miss you babe
like all this stuff but at home butter and i are partying hold on hold on hold on hold on so you can
have relationships with men she's taking the mental load right now this is what they call the mental
load she's trying to find his golf clubs when she's supposed to be working i'm so sorry i just
did a speech about how you have to take on the mental load are you no i'm not i refuse to did
you have to go to the garage that's so scary
you
i literally said
this is what happens when you choose love i hate men they're so insufficient joe went golfing and
just called me and goes i forgot my golf clubs i got was that the whole point of going so i had
to bring them outside and put them in an uber no i really i can't and my birthday is tomorrow and
so i'm having an existential crisis already of like what is my life what do i want for it and
what i don't want is mental load
well to make you feel better i was shopping in hong kong as i do i don't shop for you i like to
send you links but i'm not like buying stuff because right truly my mom i have like a i have
like a five percent hit rate of you being like cute but you still don't even want it but you'll
be like okay like i see what you i see what you're going with that and every now and then i like to
just page bait and like send you something crazy i want you to wear and then you send me
a stark email on the side you're clogging up my messages with nonsense
so i go to this vintage shop called hula it's incredible it's like the real real of hong kong
and yeah there was this bag that was like you know when you see a bag and it's like
like it was glowing speaking to me but not for me she had an aura when i shop i shop for you
my mom and me that's who i and occasionally grace yeah and butter and nana so and lois this but this
thing i'm not like a pink girl in my heart but i'm like if i was a pink girl i feel like that's
the pink i would like so i send a video to you but obviously you're asleep because i'm like
in the future so then you caught up to the future and you text me and you're like
i want that back so i i say des cancel your plans we have to go to hong kong and i'm like
i have to go back to that random vintage store and he's like why and i'm like paige actually
likes his bag i found and he understood how like momentous that was for me the camaraderie that we
were having in that moment yeah and i felt like i was like trafficking a bag for my best friend
from a foreign land sorry you sourced a bag for me i was vintage sourcing for my fashionista friend
like this was actually like on the company so
it was so cute and i like grabbed it and i grabbed this bag and they put it on the counter
and it was like multiple women were walking by going that's a cute bag and then i'm like oh is
this what it feels like what to shop when you're page because i've never had that happen to me
like something someone's like oh i'm so sick that i can remember being in the fourth grade
and going into the gap and there was a suede skirt and jacket set
and my mom was like you have to get the set and i was like i don't know if i'm really liking it
and then i saw another girl trying it on and i was like mom get the skirt back
yeah you feel like you've like won you've like it's like a race i found a cardigan and the guy
who works there was like oh i was gonna buy that for my partner so like i was i was fighting his
husband for a sweater yeah i got you the cutest
bag i can't wait to give it to you but i got you something else for your birthday even though you
said and we said we're done with gifts for each other it's just the mental load i can't take it
the mental that's so sweet my whole life i'm just trying to ease my mental load the thing with
gifting with you is that gifting is your love language like gifting is not my love language
but it's like i feel like i'm speaking your language by giving you a pink little vintage
bag i'm halfway done with my christmas shopping yeah
thanksgiving me and joseph you made a whole excel spreadsheet this year what you're talking about
your like extended family oh everyone anyone so I categorize them into different groups so like
everyone I work with will get the same gift of something then all like my doctors my dentist
like random people that are in my life but like I'm not really like that close to they get like
candy they get a separate gift people I met yeah like I'll add them to the list in passing then
I have like actual family and friends and they get like individualized gifts but then that's
separate from like my Daphne business gifting but like all my Daphne employees they're on like my
work list and they'll get the same gift as like my agents and stuff like that you can't gift our
agents and then not tell me you gifted the agents because then I look like a bitch I do gift my
agents every year so oh that explains it
explains a lot
see I try to gift them by actually doing the work
someone needs to do the work I can't just send thank you notes
I'm like but what about a Saks gift card you're like no I will not be doing that brand deal
however I did get you a really cute gift here's a tray from Hermes I hope you love it
don't ever email me again
oh my god our agent's listening
right now
right now being like that makes sense no I love I truly gifting is my love language but I think it
is a double-edged sword because then when someone gets me a gift I'm like yeah so you've never met
me you don't know intricate things about me well I'm like I know everything to get you the perfect
gift like I already have gotten I've gotten Joe two Christmas gifts already that I'm like
he's gonna be like oh my god you know me so well you're putting a lot of pressure on him he's
can't even remember golf clubs of the golf club right I'm stressed for him I'm actually very
stressed for him I it's funny though like this is us you will never respond to an agent over text
and I will be like responding immediately like making sure everything's okay setting it up
but they will get the nicest gift of their life from you once a year and they're like pages the
best and a handwritten note and they're like does that even care does that even care about our
relationship my um Daphne designer her name is Katie and she's like she's just so fucking chic
it's crazy but like two weeks ago she brought me this like coffee table book and it was all
different beds and like different bed setups and she was like this is so you and I just saw it and
I was like I have to get it for you and so she gave it to me and I was like that was so nice and
we actually have our birthdays are like a day apart and I mailed her a thank you note and I
actually recently just got new stationery so I'm really excited about that and she texted me and
she was like I haven't gotten a mailed thank you note in I don't know how long and that's also my
love language I love a mailed note so I was on Etsy for like two hours one day trying to
find you like the perfect stationery but I got like first of all I psyched myself out I had to
I know because I I was like she's doing a custom like Louis Vuitton like I don't know but I basically
was like I had to have it I was I was in over my head and then I was like the idea is there but
like if I got you like 400 stationery that you weren't going to use that's really bad for the
environment but I want to let you know that I knew you wanted stationery so my current
stationery yeah tell us the situation so inside of the Daphne box when you buy something from
Daphne inside the box there's a drawing of Kitty that we own like we bought the drawing like we
had someone make the drawing and like we own that drawing so I took that drawing and I put it
I made up like a fake cardstock and it has a blue border because Daphne's colors are blue
then it has Kitty that drawing at the bottom so it looks like
she's stretching on the border of the stationery and then up at the top it says
Paige Audie DeSorbo now some people do their address on their stationery I don't do that
because I don't want you to know where I am like maybe I am there maybe I'm not I was gonna do a
Daphne photo but I couldn't I didn't do custom I couldn't find one that looked exactly like her
like some of them the nose was like not big enough the eyes nose ratio wasn't right and like Daphne's
very specific and how she looks
as in the most beautiful cat in the world
and she'll sue you you know she'll sue you
her likeness can't just be replicated
she's like cool
I was gonna have it say from the desk of Paige Audie DeSorbo
I do like from the desk of
I knew you would I knew you would but I couldn't get it together I couldn't get it together
also how thick is it because isn't that like a a wealth status
she's not wedding invitation thick but she
is substantial
I have 500 stationery and I divvied them out so like the Daphne office has some in case they have
to send a personalized note for me Josephine has some in case she has to send a personalized note
for me and then I have some I'll give you some too in case you need to send a note thank you
part of Josephine's training is getting your handwriting down exactly which she's nailed
um I watched American Psycho because I'm trying to um understand Des's culture which is movies
from the 90s and I'm like I'm gonna send a note to her and I'm like I'm gonna send a note to her
from the 90s oh have you never seen it no it was I really liked it but it's very funny I thought it was supposed to be no I thought it was hilarious the fact that they have this ongoing bit about like business cards and like oh I got the business card with the gold on it like yeah and it was that's what you remind me of also we have enough like look we're entrepreneurs here we love starting businesses for someone who's type B like me but wants to be like you in terms of thank you notes and stuff
I know that they have companies that are like thank you boxes and stuff but like I really would love an easy like just put together get a candle and a fucking thank you note and like yeah like the perfect easy thank you that you could just like send all the time that isn't like crazy expensive like a gift basket thank you like like something in the same genre of like an edible arrangement but not an edible arrangement do you know what my mom loves
I know that they have companies that are like thank you boxes and stuff but like yeah I really would love an easy like a gift basket thank you like a gift basket thank you like a gift basket thank you
yeah I totally agree also speaking of businesses I'm officially it's not a business it's my passion project for my heart and soul I'm launching gym class Wednesday morning we're working out on Wednesdays we work out you're gonna do it butter's doing it butter just came in the room
hey butter we're getting our I don't want to call us lazy asses but sometimes it's hard to motivate yourself so we are I want the girls to hold hands on Wednesdays we're gonna
work out because working out gives you endorphins endorphins make you happy happy people don't shoot their husbands but if you do there's probably normally a reason you're like I could think of a hundred no there I could think of I got bringing golf clubs to the side to the sidewalk I you love that man you brought you brought golf clubs downstairs into the road no no no they were in the garage no they were in the garage I
just have to roll them out but here's the kicker the uber driver didn't get out of the car to help me put it in the trunk so I just lifted a bag full of golf clubs and put them in the trunk no when you get a female uber driver do you let her put your bags in no see cuz I'm like girl we're in this together I say we're in this together girl code I'm like you're smaller than me what the hell are you gonna do I hate when that happens they're like the tiniest person and I'm like no no no no no no
but when it's a man and they don't get out of the car I'm like you're actually just making this process go longer because yes I can lift it but it's I'm slower to put it in and I'm like you're just rude but like if a woman driver if I have a woman uber driver yeah and if she doesn't get out of the car I don't even give it a second thought I'm like yeah well I could do it
wait can we talk about something that's like kind of somber but also like I just want to see what your take is yeah did you see the plane crash in West Palm all I saw was someone saying like they weren't on the plane okay those are like weird crazy conspiracy theorists yeah I was in Hong Kong yeah your algorithm got switched up what happened so there was a private plane that was going from
Texas to the Bahamas and it's crazy because I was flying out of Florida that day back to New York and I woke up and I was like there's no way my flight is going like it's thunder it's lightning it's like
crazy weather and i kept checking and it like the flights were getting delayed maybe like by 20 25
minutes nothing crazy so i took off at like one o'clock this happened at like 105 and so everyone
in the plane perished and so sad so unfortunate and when the news was doing the coverage of it
they kept showing the co-pilot who was a young woman she was only 20 years old she had her pilot
license and she was in high school but she was still really young and the pilot was a man
but they kept showing her well they kept showing her picture and and which okay yes she was involved
in the crash but it wasn't solely her fault and also the comments under it were
so crazy like this is why you don't this is why you don't fly with a woman pilot this is why
like men should it almost felt like it was like bots you're like okay no one thinks like this poor
20 year old young girl just died who the fuck is commenting oh well this is why i only fly with
like male pilots like also you don't know who they are when you get in the flight you dumb dumb
i also feel like being a pilot is a one of those industries that women have had to really fight to
be seen as like as equal and so i just felt bad for like all the
women pilots after this because it was like okay she wasn't even the main pilot and they're still
getting blamed and they just like pushing that narrative well someone posted and it like really
hit me hard and it was like even in death you will not escape misogyny oh geez and i was like
oh you know it's so funny and i was walking through so many airports this week because i'm
a time traveler and i saw a couple women pilots they look so cool because they're wearing like
this uniform with the you know i love a tie with a tie but they're like tailored and like they look
chic as fuck like these girls are so cool like i was like nervous around them like i wanted to be
hi i'm a huge fan like i just love their work and you just know how much harder they had to work to
get where they are i think half the reason that giggly squad live sold out is because if you're
a woman and you're my pilot or my flight attendant and you ask me for giggly squad tickets i've given
them to you like i've given i don't
know what it is about flight attendants that are like i couldn't get a ticket and i'm like email me
babe yeah like i there's just something about them that i'm like no i'm gonna help you um speaking of
delta something has gone awry i don't know if it's because i recently i'm renting this apartment and
like in the move i lost all my delta headphones yeah thank god page i need my delta headphones
to record this podcast and i had wait a minute i don't know what it is about flight attendants
wait who's someone's under attack your dog is attacking someone the dog no how dare you say my
dog you're it's you it's yours that's your dog babe that's your dog another thing about mental
load is i had to fly here with my cat my personal cat she's amazing at travel she doesn't make a
sound she sits in her case and then the dog saw that i was also on the flight and he was like well
obviously i'm gonna sit with her so i'm taking care of both pets and my boyfriend who's in the
seat above me or seat in front of me no pets i'm like no i'm not taking care of two kids
take your dog back i was like no can i bring up something traumatizing that came up in my
feed recently yeah do you remember saturdays are for the boys
i'm going through a tough time
right now no that came across my desk and i was like no no how did do you remember like 2017 that
was going on and no one everyone was like yeah saturdays are for the boys i feel like i hate
myself but i feel like i even said it a couple times in college i feel like i somehow was
walking past a huge flag that said it and might have taken a photo accidentally like make sure
that's nowhere on the internet but that was just like what a time what a time to be alive
it was coupled with smoke show of the week oh sorry how did this get so dark let's discuss
why did you do that that just like really threw me off well when something upsets me i need
everyone to know about it and that's my toxic you know that that just upset upset all of us
for sure well i want it i want people to know like how far we've come also like there's positivity
in it oh i know what'll bring you joy i brought i had some like health tips from hong kong
yes so the chinese are obsessed with when you wake up in the morning similar to your hot warm lemon
tea having a hot breakfast and hot liquids they said waking up and like jolting your body with
like a cold iced coffee they're not about so like every millennial shaking right now
they basically know i know they have a hot soup hot tofu they have a thing called congee which is
like this hot rice and like you have hot oatmeal they just think in the morning you
need hot stuff to like get things moving in your stomach yeah and comforting your
insides i mean i don't know the science behind it but they're basically like obsessed with warm
things in the morning not to sound out of touch for a second but on my rider i put i have hot
water with lemon because anytime i do a shoot and i have to be there for glam at like 6 a.m
and they're like do you want a coffee i'm like i'll actually shit all over you like no
so i need a hot water with lemon like i can't be jolted by an iced coffee at 6 a.m in a foreign
place lately what i'm into when like you have to perform and stuff but you can't eat because
you'll shit yourself is i like just like a protein drink i like a protein drink a little
vanilla protein like a shake like fair life has a really really good protein shake that just tastes
like a milkshake but it's not it's not unhealthy it's not unhealthy it's not unhealthy it's not
is fair life regular milk or is that like lactose intolerant they have lactose free like the one i'm
doing is lactose free but fair life has two things they have just like milk and then like a protein
shake but it's it looks similar so i've multiple times accidentally just grabbed the milk and i'm
like drinking on a plane just like raw just full milk thinking it's gonna be a protein
sorry i'm not the guy from love is blind um no that was great i think there's i think they're
still together okay so i'm
i had i watched it on the flight i finally watched the scene of the guy having the mental breakdown
it's so reality tv though because i'm like what did he actually do like no one's saying it well
you can tell the clips are cut up cut up like crazy you guys when there's a straight man drunk
yelling at people on national television just know it was way worse in real life it was 10 times
worse it was 20 times worse but you'll see him be like what a woman and then some girls like i'm so
traumatized by what happened it's like yeah that's not all he yelled because when i was expecting
something like horrible to happen how everyone was reacting but they didn't show it but he clearly
was going around being super inappropriate and like saying fucked up shit but they didn't show
it also he didn't like fully hit on the other girl he just at one point like pulled his seat
around but i wonder why they're protecting him maybe just because it got too dark if i had to
surmise being a reality tv veteran it's not necessarily
that they're protecting the awful man that did something more so they're protecting their own
network yeah you're 100 they would get more backlash as the network of like why did you
allow this to be aired to millions of people yeah it just works out for the bad man who's
drunk yelling it works out in their favor the truth isn't shown fully also the fact that
michaela is getting any hate like people are like she was a pick me i'm like the
second she saw him being a weirdo she was like i'm out i thought she handled it amazing i think
it's such a good example for women to see how easy it is to actually just be like yeah i'm out like
we watch so many relationships of women being like but i'm there for him i'm there for him
and he's my person i'll make it work and you're like why is she torturing herself for years like
it's actually so easy like i've i tortured myself so in so many relationships and let me edit that
it's not easy it's not easy it's actually very difficult but once you see someone move on you
see how like oh life goes on like she hasn't lost her entire life and when the other girl she didn't
mean to but when she was like you have to start from scratch i'm like she met this guy three
weeks ago she's not she hasn't invested eight years of her life with the family kids she can
start over also it takes one man one day i actually thought michaela had more grace talking to that
girl than she
even did with rob like that girl literally looked at her and was like oh my god your life sucks
like she i felt so bad for michaela because she was like oh my god if i were you i'd kill myself
like it was so crazy also we're all watching it we're all watching it knowing that that girl's
fully with a man without a home he lives on a boat and he's fucking girls in croatia as they're
speaking that man has
has a full other family in St. Thomas.
His wife and kids are looking
him also why are all his friends girls i didn't like that why was i scared of those girls at one
point the girl was like okay we're done here like i don't have to do this if you guys are so mad
about it should i just leave like i felt really bad for her in that moment this is the problem
though like yeah what's his name blake his name blake it's like he looks like to me who knows but
it's like yeah he's charming in that way of like you meet him on the weekend and you're like
oh what a crazy life we could live but like we're not gonna do it like i'm not gonna talk to him
again he's not like marriage material but like what a fun concept if i was like also when he's
working he was like she'd love to have a summer in europe i'm like yeah with you not like locked
in a hotel room while you're out here who knows doing what also i've been with men before that
will like have these ideas of grandeur and they'll say it to you and they'll be like oh
yes won't that be amazing like and we'll travel with our family across the world and i'm like okay
but logistically like no we're not like because are you throwing a kid on your fucking back
like are you breastfeeding on the plane like you live in an here's the thing i think with
men in society right now a lot of them live in an alternate reality and i almost like don't blame
them because it's they're becoming adults or if not been adults for a long time and they're not
15 fucking years but i feel like women in our generation are so changing the narrative and
they haven't caught up so like they give you these like false ideas of like and then we'll
get married and we'll do this this and this and it's like but you're actually lying to me because
that's not gonna happen like yeah every woman does think about summering in europe in a five-star
hotel like like in a dream world we don't want to be following you on some fucking boat like
shut up and you know what's happening girls are doing it but they're doing it with their other
successful friends yeah and they're doing it on their own on their own everything that ever pissed
me off in my 20s that i'm like that a man would hold over my head i now do it on my own and it's
so much more satisfying i'm like oh really you don't want to buy me a first class ticket watch
this in five years like fuck you my favorite is when i like walk in somewhere and it's like me
with like a tall like
gray-haired man so they always talk to him like he's in control and i'm like you guys and he loves
he giggles he thinks it's so funny and eventually he's like you're talking the wrong person bro
okay you want to know what maybe that's why i love going to italy every summer because like
when i check into our hotel i feel like they know i'm in charge well you've been going there for
five years i think they know how it works they're also like all still traumatized by that time you
had to put a um
seltzer in your arm or whatever when it's a what get an iv yeah but they put like a
what's like the italian drink it's like green
wait i i usually always know what you're talking about i'm really lost in this one
when i had to put a seltzer on my arm what is like the sparkling water they have in italy
do they have different sparkling water no they don't wait we just had a glitch in the matrix
what the fuck are you talking about it looked like sparkling water was attached to your arm
in that photo where you had the oh yes the pellegrino yes yes and that took way too long
to get there but we got there and we got okay people want to know about my my pooping status
and look it's a little they have they actually they dm'd you and said what's the status
okay they're freaks sick
freaks
many of you have dm'd tana and said
no my all my dms are just have you pooped yet okay so i thought after you're constipated because
i've never been constipated before in my life i thought after you're constipated you'd one day
have this like incredible release of like and it was euphoric and then you're like have a six-pack
after and you just like walk around and like do cartwheels it hasn't been like that it's been
yeah just like a couple little tiny poops throughout and like it's slowly getting back to
normal but i'm not blocked anymore but i didn't have like an iconic moment that i could like share
with the gigglers oh but i did shove something up my butt you did a suppository i love how it took
40 minutes for us to get to this i'm like i've done it once in my life and i was like a child
my mom made me do it i was like god i must have been constipated and i was like i don't like this
do you know when you're traveling and like one of the days just like kicks your ass
like i actually was so good with organizing dinners and all the stores i wanted and all
the cat cafes and then i had one day where everything just like punched me in the face
yeah there was a tennis tournament in hong kong so i go and it's free because it's qualifying
and i got in the wrong line and then like i never got in and i waited in line for like an hour and
it was like 85 degrees so i was like okay i decide okay i need to get um a suppository hello
sorry i'm from the future and like
i got a glitch we're so brain dead
i don't know why i'm sober i'm honestly my birthday being tomorrow is just really fucking me up
page i'm 35 i've been 35 it's not about the age i'm i feel like i crushed 33 i i'm like excited
to be like i'm 34 like i feel fine it's more about like the overall arching theme of existence
yes of aging of aging and i don't mean in like the vain like conceited way of aging of like oh
you have wrinkles or like oh you look older not that because i i think i look the same age as i
did when i turned 30 but like it's more like oh so like that part of my life is over and i probably
won't ever experience that part of my life in the same way again you know i'm i like long for
nostalgia yeah but you like hated going to clubs i mean you loved it but now you would hate it so
like what are we missing right that's what i'm saying so but it's almost like getting over the
fact that like yeah but you hate that now so like why do you care it's like i'm sad that i hate it
now that's the thing you do love nostalgia but you know not to be full psychic on you uh-huh i
think when you have a child you are gonna relive every moment and you're gonna love it so much
and you're gonna be like reliving the nostalgia in the best way you could ever imagine that is
gonna make me cry that is so nice and i actually that's what i need like i'm gonna look i look
forward to that when that happens well whenever we talk to your energy healers and your psychics
and your pet psychics and your astrologers they all they are going to be like oh my god i'm so
like all talk about you me being a mom like this home and being a mom which is so funny because
you've it's like you've you never talk about being a mom but i think like yeah look speaking as an
aunt to lois and bobby like they just had halloween like the joy i had from just watching on my phone
videos of them like being like look how cool my outfit is and going like you you live it again
through it
right right so true and i think one of the themes of getting older is realizing like each year i feel
like you realize things that are really important in life and i think i'm just like i keep getting
older and older and i realize that like your relationships with people are truly what's the
most important thing in life whether it's like with your parents with your friends with your
significant other it's just like how you nurture relationships really is the most important thing
in life and i feel like community like keeps you living longer okay jet gpt that's why i love giggly
squad because it's like no because yes how fucking dare you giggly squad like finding other girls
and gays with the same sense of humor like what could bring more joy name it yeah and i feel like
whenever i get a dm from a girl about anything where it's like hey you really like encouraged
me or gave me the confidence to do x y and z i then i'm like okay everything then everything i do is
fine it's all worth that it's all worth it like okay if you got out of a really sucky relationship
and the guy was like borderline abusive or was abusive and you got out of it because i said one
thing on a podcast then yeah i don't care how much hate i get for the rest of my life because
it mattered to that one girl and that's fine those are the best dms ever also like
yeah to her bun gym class but like if i get one girl to work out who thought she couldn't work out
no working out is like so good for your mental health like it sucks like
but i did the research like if i get one girl who was scared to go to the gym to like work out in her
living room and like feel better about herself that day like fuck yeah
okay so the suppository yes sir you don't just like get a suppository i had to go to like
all these pharmacies in hong kong and like they don't speak english there
so i had to try to explain that i can't poop to multiple different people
so i'd be like i need and i would have just died i'd be like stomach
and when you say stomach they think like you're having diarrhea and then you have to be like no
no no diarrhea blocked and then and then the guy was kept giving me dulcolax and i was like no no
i need to show you should have used like a true like a translator app or something for some reason
that was like more embarrassing to me to be walking around with a sign like
you
and des was supposed to be my fucking um translator but he doesn't speak cantonese
he speaks mandarin so he's no help so annoying so annoying like like okay learn the right language
yeah like why were we not in beijing if you can't if why'd we go to hong kong anyway i'm like over
that so he was dead to me i was going around just pointing to like up my butthole to like random
like six years why americans have a
bad reputation when we travel because of me it's always a redhead doing something to us
so then i finally get the suppository after going to like countless pharmacies who like
didn't understand me and i'm scared to insert something foreign into my body like
it's scary and i was overseas gotta have a couple cocktails and it's not that scary
i was like at least at least give me tell me a joke or something to start off
at least let me have a noodle with a sesame seed give me some compliments first so
des would just say there's like you're gonna do it and i'm like okay i don't need you like
micromanaging yeah pressuring me my anal this is like literally like peer pressuring you into drugs
like just do it you're gonna like it it's gonna feel good you know i hate that and then he was
like i waited for him to be in the shower because i just didn't know what was gonna happen i didn't
want to like ruin our relationship with like a weird suppository so but they were quick don't
they this is my advice i went to the bathroom because for some reason i was like i should be
in the bathroom for doing this but apparently you should actually just be well no no where the
fuck else would you be no apparently you should just do it like lying on your side in bed because
once you stick it up your butthole so powerful your butthole wants to reject you
your butthole is like this is foreign so like but you needed to stay up there to break down
whatever's going on so technically i put it up there and then i like ran to the bed and like
in that walking it could like release it but like i clenched so anyway just for girls when you do in
the future just lay in bed on your side and put it in you know what's nice to know is that you
would never get kidnapped to become like a drug trafficker because they'd never be able to do it
to keep the drugs inside your butthole they'd be like she has she has ibs
you know and that's something funny to think about that drug dealers who are trafficking drugs
are thinking about people who have ibs or not also i can barely hold a tampon in like i put it in at
slightly the wrong angle i'm like i'm taking it out this is ruining my day yeah so like the fact
that people are shoving stuff up their vaginas
just holding it i mean hannah people are going to the er because they've shoved so many things
up their assholes and they can't get them out like that's like a whole tiktok series i think
like they shit nurses have seen in the er justice for richard whatever remember everyone said he had
like stuck a gerbil up his butt once who the guy from pretty woman that was like a 90s or 80s
reference that
does told me about richard richard gear shoved a hamster up his ass he didn't but that was like
the marilla manson like type himself head yeah type of thing that like it was like the leah
michelle can't read wait i forgot to mention this i went to a charity event like two weeks ago now
and i'm walking up the stairs and they're like taking pictures whatever and then i see leah
michelle walking up the stairs and i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm
like oh my god i would love to like she's so sweet and then she got up on stage because she
was presenting an award and she read off the teleprompter and i almost took a video of like
stop hating on my girl like she can read is it so nice yeah it was it was so how do you know
there were words on it i chose to trust i like the leah michelle lore and she's a giggler
yeah i love her for a rumor to stick like that you have to be an it girl for how much i don't
want to go to a musical i love musical theater people she's a songbird of our generation yeah
i feel like i can separate their art where i'm like i don't want to sit through a three hour
long singing play but i find you so incredibly talented and like above people when you're a
theater actor i just think they do it all
documentary about like where these rumors start like actually getting to the bottom of like where
did that actually begin rumors start from one person really really hating you and i feel like
someone was so jealous of leah michelle and they started that and then you can hire pr
companies to like keep lies going it's really scary yes yep i know that so she um my thing is
i love that rumor for her because i'm like so she does full musicals without being able to read
that's the most impressive thing i've ever heard she reads music without being able to
read right letters that's fucking right like she's a genius like it's almost like a fuck you like oh
i can't read and i did all this without being able to yeah read yeah imagine if she could
she'd take over the goddamn world you should hope that she can't because this is already this
powerful butter cameo wait that's so sweet she never makes why don't you read the sign above
your bed hannah okay you guys i'm renting
and every room is beautiful but i did walk into this room
and it says all you need is love and i said desmond
we have to do something about this he's like why i'm like
butter's trying to read it right now she's actually hates it and if any man ever says all
you need is love know that that man is broke and he will not spend any money on you or your future
children okay
so keep that in the back of your head ladies because all you need is not love you need a lot
more that you need security you need a 401k speaking of love everyone on love is blind
hates each other like i know it's the edit but like the way they're fighting i'm like
you guys there's no love there's no respect oh butter's trying to take down the sign right he's
like butter's like wait up wait a minute the fuck's it say
but it's like this is not my aesthetic this is not my brand something needs to be done
um but i find the people in love is blind like there's not one couple actually rob and michaela
were my couple i know even though they're dysfunctional i was like yeah i see it i did
like cam and the girl he i can't here's the thing i hate that i like can't remember any of their
names i liked them together in the beginning and then i was kind of like i just want to feel like
during the first
three weeks of your relationship i know they're putting them through a lot and it's a lot of
pressure but like you were on your best fucking behavior i like to say it's your representative
it's your representative and it's your highest like dopamine time like that's that's when the
guys can get away with so much because you're just like you just see his height and you're
just like the fact these people are fighting within the first three weeks i like i'm actually
out this is what i think a man anyone actually i shouldn't even just say a man a woman too
you can be on your best behavior and you can lie about your personality for three months
after three months you that's it then you start to go back to who you really are so that's why
like in the first three months if it's not perfect get out well she said a neat anejo was like i asked
you questions and it takes you 15 seconds to respond i'm like yeah that's cold not having
chemistry like you guys just like
trying to talk to you and you just don't talk and it's like and she's like can we figure this out
that's just that's when you go thank you so much for your time like yeah how do you have a phone
call right she's like there's some or they would have the best marriage
oh god also i think it's funny that um like rob's friends like one of the
things that they said to michaela was like you know like we had to wonder if coming on this show
like you had ulterior motives like
what could you gain from the show?
Like, yeah, dude, they're getting famous off of you guys.
Like, shut the fuck up.
Also, Rob, why are you on the show?
You're both on the fucking show.
Yeah, what are you trying to do?
Why are they just pointing fingers at Mikayla?
What did you want from the show?
You wanted to be able to get, be like, I'm on TV.
You wanted to be able to fuck other girls.
Like, you never, you weren't trying to get married, yeah.
I love how he's sitting on reality TV like,
why'd you do reality TV, you fake ass?
I'm like, I don't know, ask your representative.
Also, coming onto reality TV for the first time ever
and being high on drugs, I think,
is one of the craziest things you can ever do.
Like, all of his friends that were in that scene
were high off the, I have gone out for so many years.
I know when someone is high.
All of those men were high.
And that's the difference between me and you.
I was like, they're dumb.
Also, it's so funny to be like,
I'm such a tough guy.
I'm like, fighting producers to let my 42-year-old friend
have another beer.
Like, you're not a tough guy, bro.
Like, just calm down.
I also just want to say that
actually a man wanting to go on reality TV
is so much worse than a woman going on reality TV.
So much worse.
If anything, the woman is trying to be entrepreneurial
and like, make money for her future family.
We're like, why are you going?
So much worse.
Even hot take, men saying I want to be famous.
That's for women.
Becoming famous is for women.
Sorry, famous is not for,
if you're a man trying to be famous,
I'll puke.
No, I can't.
If you're a man who's really good at something,
like you have a skill and like people admire it,
great.
If you're just going on TV to be famous,
that's not a game.
And I don't know what that voice is.
I've never done it before, but I don't like it.
It gives me the heebie-jeebies.
It makes me. I couldn't even date like a professional act.
Athlete, I don't think.
Which I wouldn't consider like a. I mean, are professional athletes famous?
I mean, yeah, I guess.
But like, I don't know.
When I think of famous men, I think like Harry Styles.
Like, I think like a singer, an actor,
like a Jacob Elordi.
Like, I don't think I could be with anyone
that is essentially the star.
I want a guy who's like,
I love him like I want a guy while I'm married,
but like, he's like, this is literally Des,
but he's like, I hate that I have to post,
like, this is my art and this is what I need to do.
Like, do you know that Des, like,
never posts just like a photo of himself?
That's different.
He has a skill set.
He's an artist.
He's a type of artist.
But I was like, why don't you post photos from Hong Kong?
And he's like, why would I do that?
And I'm like, and that is such a good question.
Yeah.
And that is the thing I need to ask themselves.
Yeah.
It's like, what are you promoting?
What are you promoting?
What is the purpose of this photo?
What are we promoting in this photo?
Yeah.
I think that's a great question.
Also, I want to raise awareness for one other thing men are doing
that, like, girls have had to deal with in darkness.
And I think Taylor Swift is one of them.
A lot of men are addicted to video games
and they are ruining their relationships.
Taylor Swift has to deal with that?
Well, Travis Kelsey, like, when he's not playing football,
he's playing, like, he has a headset on.
Do you know I've never dated someone who played video games?
I know girls who dated professional athletes who, like,
they just love games.
Like, the second they're off the field,
they're just, like, playing.
And, like, it's, you're not around.
Like, they're not physically.
It's like if they were on their phone the whole time.
That's how it feels.
And they're just, like, talking to other men on the headsets.
You know what's crazy is that, like,
football is on Mondays, Thursdays.
Is it on Thursdays?
Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays.
Thursdays, Sundays.
And then they golf.
Let's just say they golf once a week.
But God forbid I watch Dancing with the Stars.
That's five days of, like, you know your hobby is going to be in works.
In the works.
It's going to be happening.
You're either going to be watching or you're either going to be playing.
No wonder we have a mental load.
Like, that's crazy.
I was like, no wonder women are excelling because during the eight hours.
I mean, look, I play fantasy football, but I'm not watching the games.
I'm watching my scores.
And by the way, I had a comeback.
I'm ranked number one right now.
Oh, my God.
I'm so happy for you.
You know me.
I'm not one thing.
It's resilient.
And I lost the first three games.
And, you know, I love being the underdog.
I love people not believing me.
And I love rising like a phoenix from the ashes.
And that's what I've done.
Totally.
And now I'm number one in the league.
And, like, people need to put some fucking respect on my name.
What's your team name?
Oh, it's something really.
Really stupid.
Like, I don't know what it is.
It's more about my aura.
Yeah.
OK.
Another thing I learned about Hong Kong.
Two things that we have to do when you go to a public restroom.
They have like a sanitizer.
So instead of just like wiping down the seat or putting toilet paper on, you take the toilet
paper, you put the hand sanitizer on and you get to just like wipe down with like the actual
germs.
I don't want to do that.
I just think it feels cleaner to me.
I'm just squatting.
It's like I think about it like, oh, 30 second workout squat.
I actually have never squatted in my life.
Like, life is too short.
On a public toilet, you've never squatted?
No.
To pee?
Maybe if there's no, like, toilet seat, then I'll.
So you're putting toilet paper on the toilet seat to sit or you're just sitting?
I'll put toilet paper or I'll wipe it down.
With what?
Toilet paper?
With toilet paper.
Like, you know, there's like.
But how is that getting the germs?
Exactly.
I've never gotten the germs.
You know, I went through a really weird phase of like two months in college where I was
like, do you know you can get STDs from sitting on toilet seats?
And it really scared me for like a solid two months.
I don't know why.
And then I like forgot about it.
But I was like, you can get chlamydia.
What happens between the time that someone flushes and you walk in that there's just
tons of water all over the toilet seat?
Like, did they dunk their head in it?
Like, I don't even know how the water gets on the toilet seat like that.
But I think that's pee.
Oh, because someone was squatting.
Yeah, because I was squatting.
So you're peeing on the seat.
I'm wiping it.
No, I'm wiping.
I'm wiping down my own pee if I pee on the seat.
But also, I'm not peeing on the seat.
I'm not like I can squat and.
I've just embraced that like we're in a public bathroom.
There's going to be germs.
And public things are going to happen.
Mm hmm.
Mm hmm.
And wash your hands after.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And also has electric vehicle SUVs, which like are everywhere.
And they have these amazing seats that have massages.
Like, why don't we have massages in our car?
Did you go on their public trans transportation at all?
Like, did you go on there?
So, yes.
So clean.
How was that?
No way.
What's like what are the vibes on their subway?
Culturally acceptable to like just like skip people online and stuff.
And there's a freeness to that.
Like, people will just like cut you.
And you cut them.
And you just like squeezing.
And like, yeah, it's there's there's it's just like chaos in the most beautiful way.
You're like, you're all going to get there eventually.
And.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No one's like, excuse me.
I was scared in here.
Oh, there's not someone like wielding a cucumber at your head.
The subway.
Oh, God.
Oh, gosh.
