In this episode, hosts Hannah Berner and Paige Desorbo share a lively, unfiltered conversation. The main story involves Paige secretly planning a surprise birthday dinner for Hannah in New York City. Despite Hannah’s attempts to cancel, Paige and her boyfriend Joe coordinate meticulously, tracking Hannah’s location and texting throughout the day to ensure the surprise goes off without a hitch. The plan nearly falls apart when Paige accidentally texts Hannah while in the city, but Hannah, distracted, doesn’t notice. The surprise succeeds, and the two friends celebrate with their partners.
The discussion then veers into family topics, including their dads’ tendencies to gossip, their moms’ sharp memories, and their reactions to Brooks Nader’s topless photos in Italy, which they defend as cultural and family-specific. They also explore personal growth, with Hannah proudly discussing her recent progress in driving, framing it as a newfound sense of freedom and adulthood. Travel is highlighted as a tool for mental rejuvenation and confidence-building.
Later, they touch on TV shows like "Real Housewives of London" and "Furious," alongside a frustrating tax-free shopping story from Italy. The episode closes with a serious reflection on postpartum depression, prompted by the Lindsey Clancy case, emphasizing the importance of awareness and support. Throughout, the tone remains humorous and candid, blending lighthearted banter with moments of sincerity.

The universe is kaboshing that. - So yesterday, I don't know if you're on the side of TikTok where it was like the craziest manifestation day, just like in astrology, one of the craziest days we've ever had in the world. And of course, it's Hannah's birthday. - Chiz. - So all day, I'm like feeling- I'm like, I didn't even send Hannah something to her house for her birthday. Like, I didn't even try and make a plan with her. I'm a horrible friend. And I didn't text you any of this 'cause I'm like, let her have a day. But I'm like, wow, I feel bad. - Well, you calls me at 8.30 a.m. - Yeah. - After yelling at me for calling you at 8.30 a.m. the day before to talk business, you called me at 8.30 to tell me about manifestation. And I believe business called you to wish you a happy birthday. And then I called back with gossip. - Oh yeah, and you gave me like local gossip. - I gave you local hometown gossip. And so I feel like- - Which is top-tier. - That's a birthday gift. - You were like, what are you doing for your birthday? And this is the tea, guys.

Which like- - Some are whatever. - Cute. - No, but I mean, I love like so cute. But I'm, I was like, when did you do that? He's like, look, I'm so sick of all the alone time I've been spending with Paige. I need a little- - I'm drowning. (laughs) And this is, this is me asking for help. - She really gets lit up with life when she's around you. And I really prefer that side of her. - Actually the other day, Joe did save me like, like I know you think I'm funny, but like, I know you don't think I'm like, as funny as Hannah or something. And that's how it starts. That's how it begins. The next thing you know, I have to find a man. - I'm like, she's my best friend. He's like, no, the way you light up when she walks into it. (laughs) - No, actually the way I get giddy for you does is like calm down. I'm like, but that's my- - Who doesn't get excited when they see their best friend? Like that, if you don't get excited when you see your best friend, get a grip. - But you posted like on Instagram like, happy birthday to my life partner or something. And I was really wanted to text it to Joe. And then I was like, actually let's not stir up drama. My birthday. (laughs) - Let's not start. - This is the new me. The new me is like, I think of what I would do because I think it's funny and then I'm like, no need. - No, and that's maturing. - But he's so sweet. He literally was like, we haven't seen you, the four of us gotten together this summer. Like, yeah. - And I go, you know, it's crazy. My birthday is next week. Should we get together for my birthday? And he was like, yeah, and I don't know who came up with it, but I was, I think I was like, let's surprise page. And we suddenly get so excited. And then I leave my phone and I'm like, wait, for my birthday. - Yeah. - I'm going into the city to surprise page, which is the most giggly squad coated. Like, no one else understands that I'm like, this is us. This is what we do. - And of course, 10 minutes before we're going to dinner, I'm dressed, I'm ready. I like blew out my hair, put makeup on, 10 minutes before I'm like, what if we didn't go? - He texted me, she's trying to get out of it. And I go, I knew this would happen like clockwork. I was like, five, four, three, two, there's the text. I said, don't fucking let her. Don't fuck like, what did he do to make sure you'd go? - He was just like, what? No, we're going. And I was like, okay. And then I kept being like, we could have gone someplace closer. I'm also like, it's a Wednesday night. - Yeah. - What are we? 25? I'm like, what are we doing? - I don't know, I don't know. I'm like, it's a school night, okay. - Backtracking, I am really bad at lying. Like, I think I'm decent at lying to make people feel better. Like being like, you can do white, cordial, normal human lies. - Yeah. - Everyone can do like, oh my God, you look amazing. Yeah. - You're a human. - You have control over your emotions. - Yeah, but I have empathy. - I'm an empath. - But in the morning, I wasn't like, never thought about like that I'd have to lie to you 'cause I was surprising you that night. But you go, what are you doing tonight for your birthday? And I hadn't had a pre-planned lie. And I was like, hubbid a hubbid, like I started to be like, oh, blah, blah, blah. And you're not paying attention. - I'm like, I actually don't care. - You're like, I don't care, I'm hanging up. And I was like, oh, oh, and then I was like, "Doesn't I gonna go somewhere in Southampton for dinner?" And you were just like, okay, no one cares. - Oh, I do remember you saying Southampton. I was like, okay, and I remember getting off the phone being like, "Few, got her." And then we get in the car to head to New York City 'cause we're in Westampton, all to surprise page, by the way, my birthday. And I'm so excited. I'm like, she's gonna be so happy. Like, she has no idea. I'm texting her out. We're so into, I'm like, I'm on the road. This is a big trip, by the way. It's like two hours, again, I was sitting on my birthday. I realized I have a business call. And normally business calls are like zooms. And I'm like, fuck, she's gonna see him in a car. And she's gonna wonder why I'm in the car. And I'm like, no, she's not. She's never wondered any of these things. But we got in the car, it's not zoom. I'm like, thank God, so I don't have to lie to four people. Yeah. I was sweating at that point. Meanwhile, you're just going about your skincare routine. Literally living my life. Honestly, I couldn't figure out what to wear. So I also wanted to cancel. Like, I was like, I'm not going. Like, I can't. Am I wearing shorts? Like, what am I doing? Joe's only job was to physically get you into the car. Yeah. But this is where I almost messed up. Paige and I share each other's location. Which we just started doing. Yeah, 'cause when you were in Italy, I just kind of wanted to know. Yeah, I love glancing at where my friends are. Yeah, I was like, is she in the water right now? Yeah, like, ish. I mean, you didn't move for two weeks. Actually, one of my girlfriends, I just checked and she was in Sardinia and I texted her and I was like, send me pictures of your outfits. Like, I didn't even know you were going. No, having your friends location is so fun. So, but now, I don't remember this being like that, but on IMS, IMS, I'm whatever, Iphone, I'm a grandma. It says the person's name and then like, in big letters underneath, it says where they are. Yeah. So I'm in the city, I was going thrifting. I was having fun, like a city girl. So did you leave for the city right when we got off the phone, make it in the morning? I did a dish and where I couldn't really smile. And then, that didn't go well. And then I jumped in the car at like noon. You okay? So, I'm in the city and then obviously something came up to my head that I wanted to text you. Yeah. So I texted you and then I was like, fuck! Like, I thought you were going to get the text and immediately just see Hannah Berner, New York, New York. And I was like, you fucking ruined it! But like, I was so mad at myself. First of all, you didn't respond for like two hours. And you were like, okay. And I was like, oh, thank God, she doesn't care. One, I didn't even see, I didn't even look at your location. And two, even if I did see New York, New York, I think nothing of you, that's your home. I'm like, what are we going to do next time? How dare you cross the county lines without telling me? So this is where it gets good. Now it's like game time. Like, I've been waiting all day for this. It's like, I'm getting ready. And I'm texting Joe and I'm like, when you guys leaving, like, do you want me to be there and then you guys walk in? Like, we didn't think about this stuff. Or like, what's the better surprise? And he's like, I'll go in first, we sit, then you come in. And then I realize, I have your location. So I'm fucking tracking you. Me and Des are parked outside the restaurant. - Wow, I feel like no one's ever tracking me. That is so nice. I'm always tracking, tracking, tracking. Also, I'm never early for anything, but I was like, I cannot.
up this surprise 'cause I was like dilly dallying per usual. So we get there early, I'm like, okay, she's four blocks away. They're through, oh, like on traffic. They're on a stop sign. Does the watch as you guys come out? We're literally stealth. And I'm texting them. Then Joe gets to the front. And he's, by the way, texting me the entire car ride. Yeah. And you know, at one point, I was like, hello, and he was like, sorry, I'm sending like a really important email and I was like, I was on TikTok. You didn't say word in the call car ride. Again, I don't care. I don't care about anything. I turned to Dez and I go, I just have to say a little disappointment page. I go, she goes around the internet being like, I'm Russia, I'm Russia. I keep tabs on my man. Bitch, I've been texting your man all day and you didn't know shit. Where's this Russia? What, what are you talking about? I was in his DMs. We were kicking. Because at first, I was like, she's on his shit. She's going to immediately like read it off his iPad or something. No, no, you had no fucking clue, bro. In no of your game. I'm like, I don't give a shit. I thought that like, immediately you text me be like, one, I see you texting my man, two, I see this plan. You made tonight. Three, I don't want to go out tonight for, leave me alone. So I'm sitting at the table. Joe gets up and he's like, I have to go to the bathroom. Which actually, I was like, you never have to go to the bathroom at a restaurant. Like, I did think that, but I didn't think anything. Oh, is that not it? That's so funny. People are either restaurant, bathroom people or some people never do. You're right. No. And if anything, it's like the end of dinner. I've never, whatever. So he goes to the bathroom and I'm just like sitting there. The waiter comes over like, why am I here? Put like, put like, water down. I'm looking at the menu and then I look up and rounding the corner is Hannah and Daz. And my face, I was like, so excited. Like, I hadn't seen you in years. You don't know. It almost got ruined because your man was giving me a play by play. He gets to the front. He goes, oh my god. They just ask me what my guess names are. Again, I wasn't listening now. So then I'm like, we're fucked. We're fucked. Like, this is like, what is he going to say? So I'm like, turning to Daz. I'm like, we should go back home. This, this hasn't worked. Okay. You know what? Do you remember anything? Were you alive? So a girl walked in, she's wearing the zebra shorts. But I love zebra shorts. Was it me? But I didn't love the top shoes wearing it with. And I was like, this is like such an interesting top to pick with it. So I'm in my own head looking at this girls outfit. I had no, I had no. You were fighting some demons. Yeah. I was not paying attention at all to the girl at the front. I think I'm so impressed that he was having full-on conversations, also texting me what the conversations were. Like, he was on it. And then he's also texting like, this is fun. Like on the side. Like, the man was texting me. And I'm like, this girl. Wait, the best part was then like when we sat down. Hannah was like, I was texting Joe all day. Like, you had no idea. And when we were in the elevator, he was texting. And I glanced over at his phone. Hello, I'm alive. And I saw a kiss face emoji. And in my head, I was like, clock it because when I get home. So she looks at me, she goes, you did send him a kiss face emoji. I go, never send him a kiss face emoji. And I looked at it. So then after the dinner, we got in the car. He texts the screenshot because the man needed receipt. He was scared. He was scared. Yeah. Good. Shaking in his boots. And it was him to his dad. Yeah. It was his dad to him. Yeah. Oh, it's dad to him. Because you have to see what side of the phone it's on. Is it him? Is it you? Is it him? Yes. Yeah. Is it the blue? Is it the coming incoming? I do feel like me and you are actually very easy to surprise because we're busy. Totally. I love when people do stuff to me, they're like, you didn't even tell. I'm like, I'm sorry for job. Also, here's the thing about me. I'm not asking a follow up. So like if you say, hey, I'm here. I'm like, great. I have a great time there. Do we have to do walls today? Or doesn't have any impacts on me? When I was my birthday and the kids were here like last week, does disappear for like two hours? And you guys are going to be the funniest parents. No, I didn't think I think of it. I think at one point, I feel like at one point, you're going to be in the bathroom calling me like, I'm hiding from my family. No, does disappeared. And then I think my mom says something like, do you know where it does is? And I was like, no. And then he called me. It was like checking in. And I was like, what are you up to? And he goes running errands. And I was like, okay, hang up the phone. He was going all the way to this place snowflake in Long Island. It's the best ice cream place in the world. Anyway, come back. Everyone's like, we can't believe that that he got it passed you so easily. I'm like, that man could do anything behind my back. I wouldn't know. Right. He's I'm doing errands in the middle. Like, does this do errands? Like, I didn't even ask a follow up question. I was like, cool, don't care. Hang up. That's why he has a second family. You know, I know he's he's busy with the second family. I'm not asking follow up questions. So everyone's like, he got you. And I'm like, no, he didn't. Because I didn't want to look into it. If I looked into it, I would have known the longitude and latitude of snowflake. Like, I didn't care about snowflakes. Do you know what these things going on in my head at a given time? And I also have to worry about my husband. I don't have time for that. I don't even need to see the phone. If I get a gut feeling, I'm leaving. Actually, you're so right. When you say your Russia, it's more it's the vibes. It's more the vibe. It's the vibes. It's a lot of fur. It's a no tolerance policy vibe. It's we don't need proof. We decided it in our head. Guilty not guilty. See ya. And that's really what I want to portray. Now, do we have great espionage? Of course. Of course, but that's expensive. No, I literally walked it. I was like, you dumb bitch. You can't even keep your man on lock. I go, I've been talking to your man. Happy birthday to me. No, and then the other best part of it was me like told stories about my dad for like 15 minutes. Well, we realized that does. Does an incredible Gary impression? Didn't know. It actually stopped me dead in my tracks. I said, I thought my dad was there. But does this weird that way? He'll watch like one TV show and be able to like play all the characters. It's like, it's his own fun. It keeps, it keeps things spicy in our relationship. What we realized is that both our dads can't keep their mouth shots, keep their mouth shots. And how like when you have a secret about yourself or something going on, the moms will keep it locked. It's the dads that like, dads have these like weird group chats. They like to say stuff to like, my dad is a gossip. No, my dad has fully started rumors about me and within our own family, for sure. I'm like, let's get to the bottom of it. You're like from my own home. We go, we got a snake in here because dads, they like to brag. My dad also does this weird thing that he's like giving you a compliment, but he's like, like mean about it. Like, like, okay, here's like a kind of a good example, but something that happened to me the other day, which is just like so me and my family. So I'm looking for this one specific top. Okay. I'm like, where the heck is this top? I like just bought this top. I know it should be on my recent purchase rack. I have a recent purchase rack. And I know it should be there. So I text Josephine. I'm like, hey, any chance you've like seen this top. This is what it looks like. Like, this is the brand. And she's like, I haven't seen that top. But like, if I did, it's here. And so I like look where she said, I love how that's Josephine's number one job is to tell you where certain clothes are every article of clothing that I have Josephine knows. And she knows where it is. It's actually really impressive. So I'm like, I can't find it whatever. Don't worry about it. I'm like saying the same Anthony prayer. I'm like, let me call my mom. Maybe she took it home from Italy. And I'm not remembering. I call my mom. She's like, I can't remember the top. You have to like, I don't know what top you're talking about. And in the background, my time goes, Kim, you have the best memory. You, you should be able to remember. Come on, you can't remember for. He's like yelling at her, but also like, praising her. And she's like, I really can't remember it. Like, you have to send me a picture of it. I find it online. I send her a picture of the top. And she goes, you never ended up buying this top. You tried it on and you thought, eh, it does nothing for you. And I was like, Oh, my God, you're so right. She's like, you thought the sleeves were a quarter inch too long. So you decided against it. And you didn't have a good bottom that you felt would really match. Like, I've seen how you guys talk. And it's like, she was like, remember you tried the dress on after and you were like, this is way better and more flattering. And I was like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, of course. Of course. I was like, I remember, duh. Thank you, Kim. Someone was awake. Thank you. I also love how Gary's so invested in your like wardrobe drama. Beyond. I'm the, I'm going to be so honest. Now that I'm like, obviously,
In my 30s and you look at like marriages and relationships compared to like what you thought They were as a child. Yeah, ooh interesting. Yeah, like growing up I remember asking my dad like when I was little do you love me more than mom by the way? That's insane. No, that's crazy. You're a scary child. I'd say say it like mere mom Leave one of us at home to die which one tell me now dad. There's a building and it's burning and Guess who's in it? Who are you saying? I love it. You don't even bring up little Gary in this. You're like, I know he's not top two. Yeah, not When we're talking to my dad not in the lineup actually not even tough. I'm And my dad would never say yes, and it would piss me off He would always be like no, you're like your mother's number one like I love your mom and my mom would be like I'll throw him in front of a boss like I love you guys 10 times more than I'd I've even think about loving your dad So that was like the norm Now that I'm an adult I feel like yeah My husband like I feel like I'm gonna love my children way more than like any man, but I feel like my husband should be like That's my that's my day one Do you feel like you appreciate your parents' relationship so much more now that you know that like they're just two people dating? Yeah, that have like made it work every year. They're literally two kids that met at school Okay, when I hear my parents like when the morning having their like morning gossip and coffee I'm like what are they fucking talking about it's been 30 years, but I'm like so proud of them because I'm like That's huge like when you're little you're just like mom and dad are talking again Now I'm like, they're still talking Think about the dead horses. They've beat think about how much old material my mom has to listen to of my dad And she still thinks he's funny. Well, you know me and I'm so Revenge is my whole being Mm-hmm, and so like I will think about like people that didn't like my mom in high school Like I have beef with you if you have beef with my mom from 30 years ago. I have beef with you today Did you see there's a Parmesan cheese shortage? I thought That was big cheddar. Just trying to stir rumours around Oh, because of the heat. I think so. Yeah. Oh my god. You know the times when I handling this well It's just like how much can we take how much can we take as a society? It's too much. I know also one thing I was thinking about my dad and my outfits the only thing is like when I'd wear something like Skimpy mm-hmm. You just be like did you pay for the whole outfit like I feel like Gary never said that to you and you wear something like My dad we're given honest opinion. He'd be like mm-hmm. I've seen better Okay, like yeah, that's nice or he'll be like that. That's it. That's like it's giving Like three years ago, but oh No, he has said things like I feel like you have you've worn something like last season Me and my mom will go to him for an opinion wouldn't hit when her and I are stuck We will go third party just to say sometimes a male perspective gives simplicity that you need Because you've overthought it and he's just given you the immediate response. I'm gonna break up something controversial now that we're talking about dads friend of the pod gigler Brooks Nader. I have to say So apparently she was topless in it. Is it Italy? Yeah Topless in Italy with her dad and her family. Uh-huh. And At first Americans are very upset about this. They're like this is weird Is it kind of giving when you eat bread in Italy? There's no calories when you're topless in Italy. That's how Everyone dresses It's giving one in Italy. You don't have to wear clothes I feel like I've been to a lot of parts of Italy. I don't think I've actually ever been Seeing I've maybe seen like two people topless. I Love Brooks. I love the girls. I love the show. I love a girl's name. That's plural and it's just one person I think she is like a a very rare Personality in this industry because I've met her a handful of times and I can genuinely say I think she's a Humanly nice sweet person. Yes, so I feel like if there's things that people hate her over I'm like I don't like I don't care. I like her. I'm gonna draw the line here But they're in Italy. I'm not gonna like not be her friend. I'm gonna be like that's quirky and that's crazy Hannah, I could be dying. I'm I'm never Showing my dad my tits never not once. I'm not like picking side here But I do think different families have different like different strokes for different folks Yes, I do think also like breasts and different cultures granted. She is our culture, but she's from Louisiana Breast in Louisiana if you think about it. It's like men are shirtless all the time like some people are less Out of the nipples and maybe her and her sisters are like always topless They could be from a household there are households that are naked households Yeah, there's naked 100% there's naked households and also it's not like there's like brothers and sisters It's just sisters like I don't think I'd ever thought that we would get here on this pod, but like truly nothing surprises me half What's your relationship with you being naked and like your mom? Oh, we're naked all the time. Okay. Yeah, same like I my mom has seen my naked body My mom like was like sorry. I'm changing. Can you get out of the room? I'd be like where my mom go? Yeah, oh, I go into my mom's bathroom Take all my clothes off poop in her toilet. Say sorry Then it's interesting Brooks Nader's knows how to get press Well, I'll say that also there's no other men in that household like that dad is probably so desensitized to women Yeah, but still I I would argue I make one of the closest to my dad that yeah, like of people I've met Yeah, I would die. I'd actually shrivel up and die yeah Yeah, maybe there was some alcohol involved totally it's a bunch of sisters and a mom And but it is funny her dad like is alarmingly young looking no her dad's hot For sure he does look really young he looks like he's like in his like 37. Yeah Yeah, he looks 37 But um yet You brought it up earlier and I was like that didn't happen then I looked it up on my oh Yeah, also they're on a boat or then if it rules when it comes to boats different rules when it comes to the Mediterranean Different route if also it's hot It's hot not that she was working a big bikini to begin with probably I am not going to judge people that are in situations that I've never found myself in I think that's like a really important thing Oh, I'd love that to know like you know, I could say what I might do you haven't walked a mile in her Louis Vuitton I haven't and so Things happen, but I don't foresee that I don't foresee me being in that situation and choosing and choosing I also think in general Like some people just like love being naked Like yes, then for example like you'll keep your top on during sex It's not the main attraction when you're with me so like If you're buying tickets to this show you have to know You have to know who's starring in it and they're typically never starring Sometimes they have a background role or they have a liner too, but Make a cameo for lucky, but no one's gonna really talk about it afterwards. They'll do the Christmas special But you're probably not gonna see them for a couple months, you know, like they're You know, they never stole in the show, but like they're more like production You know, they're the director now They're like actually I didn't make it they're in between scenes the people wearing black that come in and take the chairs out to put in the other scene for an entertainer There's a name for those people, but we don't know that but as women in the arts we should Oh god, so anyway, I'm hungover from yesterday. No, it's so much fun I had like 10 steps of a drink over three hours hungover Well, you and I chatted a lot it was one of those really good double dates where you and I really had a loan time And then the men had like we're talking and that's my favorite kind.

We were getting into it We finished a thought and then we're like quick quick quick quick go to next on the docket. What's next on the docket and we both are like Oh this this, but it was just it's so I just feel so lucky that We as a force some get along so well like it makes me really happy No, and it's scary because I've accepted that like I might not like your significant other Yeah, and that I wouldn't cause drama. I would just say whatever you're into Yeah, and we yeah, yeah, and so it is really
um, nice. Okay, switching gears just a little because I've actually been watching it all morning so it's like on my mind. I started watching Real Housewives of London, which I feel like there's no promotion for them. When did it come out? It's like episode five. Oh, but it came out in London I think like a couple months ago. Is Caroline Stambury in it? Um, she has like a cameo, but she's not like one of the women. I don't even think she's like a friend of no, not really. They fight about like contact lenses and like you borrow clothes. I don't borrow clothes like how dare you. And then it's like you got all your money from your divorces like it's very like you don't really care about their drama, but their outfits are amazing. Like they have and their homes are really beautiful. They go to like the cotswolds and like all this like really British stuff. Yeah. So it is really good. But one of the dinners, I don't know. They were like doing like reality TV questions. But one of the questions was like if your friend got arrested and you had no idea what it was for, what's your first thought in your brain on why they got arrested. So I like immediately thought like okay Hannah gets arrested. What am I thinking? And my first thought was she drove into like a building. Wait that's so. Like she accidentally drove into the yoga studio and she like literally didn't mean to. And then her foot slipped and then she was being a little hostile and resisting her ass and they were like you're drunk and she's like I'm not drunk. I don't have a drink. You're like you're high. She's like I can. It's so funny because last night we left the restaurant. And Des was like I'm kind of tired. Like you drove 20 minutes the other days you want to drive back. And I was like first of all drunk. First of all divorce. How dare you say that? He was like kind of joking. Yeah. And he was like you're drunk. And I'm like I had six sips of man apparel sprites. I'm fucking loaded right now. That's someone safe. And he's like oh I would never ask you. I didn't know that you like you weren't you could have had fully operated a vehicle. The way I drink, which is like so slow. And I'm eating rapidly throughout. Yeah. I feel like I was like beyond sober. It was like the reverse. They're like you're negative point three. And when you're getting in the nitty gritty of a gossip session, you lock in physically and mentally. That's so funny when you're like hammered at the club and then some drama arises and suddenly you're crystal clear. Yeah. Crystal clear. You're alert. Yeah. Um I know what you would get arrested for. We talked about last night. But something about smuggling a drug in an airport. Something regarding a weed pen. And I'd be like get my girl out. We do want to hear how fucking prude I am. You ever like leaving a foreign country and they're like do you have you taken any like list a hundred things and one of it is like dirt or something? I've never seen that. Like you like you can't take like things from the ground or something. I didn't tell you my Italy airport story with the tax free. No. Okay. Did you miss it? Because I missed it when I was in France. Okay. So when you're in a different country and you're checking out, you can say like tax free and then when you're at the airport, you'll get the money back. I don't actually really know how it works, but whatever. I know that you get money back from something from some government somewhere. Yeah. So whatever. It's a fucking pain in the ass to save all the receipts because then when you get to the airport, you have to scan every single one. Yes. Well, you also you bought a lot. I bought a lot and they say if you're going to do it after TSA, put it in your carry on in case they ask to look for it. If you're doing it before TSA, you can just show it to them in your checked bag. Then check your bags. Now, I like to do it after TSA because you get through TSA and you're like, okay, I'm few. I'm going to make my flight. Then you like you deal with all that. Doing it before is like kind of a logistical nightmare. Whatever. I get through. Now, I have never in my travels put everything I've bought in my carry on because never once have they ever asked me to see it. This time, I was like, you know what? I'm just going to put everything I bought, majority in my carry on and then I have like a few things I'll put in my checked bag just in case. Like I did kind of buy a lot this year. I get through TSA. I go to like the scanner thing. I'm scanning my stuff. It says like C-A agent. Like go to the desk. The girl standing next to me was like, oh, I think it's over there. No line. Amazing. It's like a older woman. I go up. I'm like, hey, this is like my code. It says, come see the thing. So it comes see a person. This is my receipt. She goes, come here. Like waves me into the little belt or a little office. She goes, let me see all your stuff. So I start taking everything. You're like, this is actually vintage from 2001 runway Mark Jacobs. This is a rare polka dot pony hair. She goes, okay, there's like a coat, a coat. I go, okay, it's not a coat. It's actually, it's actually like a wrap that you could totally, I guess, wear as a coat, but I was thinking more over just and then wear it as a total outfit. You could wear it as a girl. She did not want to do any of it. I could tell she didn't want to do it and I was missing a couple things. And right when we got to like the first thing I'm missing, I'm like, oh, it must be in my checked bag. Okay, I won't take the tax free for that item. Like don't worry about it. I don't have it. I know that's against the rules, whatever. And she goes, no, I can't do any of it. And I'm like, I'm like, wait, but I have the other stuff. Can you do the stuff I have? And she's like, now get out. And I was like, you just looked at all my stuff. Not one time did you say anything was cute. Okay. Never made a comment about my taste. Not a single comment. Now my tissue paper's all over the blaze. I like, I have to get it back in my bag. I'm literally. So I'm sad. So I'm traumatizing. You got robbed. No, I got robbed. And then I was like, is this just like a scam that's like not? Well, 100% in a way, because in theory, everyone's like, like when I went to pairs for the first time, and I finally got the balls to buy a bag. And it was like so hard for me. And I was like, but you get like a certain amount off at the airport. So I go to the airport. I go all the way through the airport. I'm sitting at the gate and I go, okay, now let's figure out the tax situation. And they were like, no, that's when you first walk in. I'm like, who the fuck? I didn't, I thought that was like once you're in, I'm trying to check in when I'm there. In Italy, you can go. There's like a little place like right by our hotel. You can bring all your tax reforms and they like do the initial thing for you so that when you get there, you scan one thing and you're like good. So I technically should have just been like good to go. But so anyway, I'm so sorry that happened to you. But anyway, I'm an idiot because I think I was actually young. I think I was like 14 or 15. I was traveling for tennis and it had this big thing like no foreign soil, yeah, not bring foreign soil over the what and I literally freaked out to the person next to me and I was like, I think I have dirt in my boots. No, you're insane. Also, I don't think I've ever, it's like a thing like declare, like are people standing in line and being and like declaring things? Yeah, people be like, I have a lot of, I have soil, but I literally thought there were going to be like, you have some dirt under your shoe, you're going to have to come with me and I'm not stealing it. I think that's because there's like different diseases and plants and animals carry different things and you can't like. That's how I am with police though, like yesterday. I'm just walking across the street in New York City about to surprise my friend from my birthday. Yeah. And there was, you know, sometimes police cars stop. I actually know there's like an illegal turn that people do and I think they were just trying to get people, but I'm immediately like, if I J walk right now, am I about to be on the news? Like you can't go like, I write on red in New York City. Yeah, there is one of those, but I'm not, I'm walking. And you know, and the cops like watching you and then I'm like, how did I ever use my hands when I walk? I'm like, do I look like I'm up to something? Like I get so in my head, because there's always a rule that I didn't know about that they'll be like, oh legal, you stepped on the crack. Yeah. Anyway, I did drive. I'm not driving from the city to the Hamptons. Oh yeah, so did you drive any of the way home or no? It was also dark. I was hammered. Have you ever driven in the dark? No. Well, no one talks about that. Like, do you just go, okay, today's that I am driving in the dark? Well, it is definitely a different experience. But nowadays cars like automatically put the lights on for you. Yeah, totally. But the, but I don't, they don't automatically put like your high beams on. Sometimes you need your high beams. Wait, do you remember like being with your parents in the car and them complaining about people having their, is it called high beams or like they call the blinker? The brights have your brights on. High beams. This fucking guy does this fucking brights on. Like that's all my childhood was. Was this fucking guy saws his brights on?
Wait, does no one, and he's like, "Oh, fuck, this dangerous! He's breaks on!" Yeah. I used to get into a fight with my dad because in high school my car looked like it had it, like, high beams on, but it didn't, and he'd be like, "You don't have to work the car." And I'd be like, "It's not. " We get so annoyed. You're like, "Women can actually drive really well, not my best friend, but a lot of women." It's actually feminist of me not being able to drive well to show like, "Women can be multifaceted." Do you feel like you are getting better, though? Oh, for sure. It was always like mental and like a confidence thing, because once you drive enough, you're like, "Oh, I'm not gonna just hit a tree." Yeah, because I trust myself. You then start to get places, and when you get there, you don't remember how you got there because you were thinking of other things while you drove there. Also, this is embarrassing, but it really makes me feel more adult. When you never drive, you're still like, "Okay, where's the adult to drive me?" Places where now I'm like, "Oh my god, I get out of the car. I feel like a suburban teenager. I'm like, "I just got my coffee. I'm independent." You know, I did, of course, when I was driving to my blood test or whatever. I Googled Southampton Animal Shelter, I go, "Oh, five minutes away, going there next." I said, "I'm making stops." I was doing whatever I wanted. Honey, it's a freedom! Oh, also, I got my food allergen results back. Not allergic to literally anything, so it turns out, just my head, just bullshit, you're just allergic to bullshit. So, what about your stomach? I'm just a nervous nelly, and I eat something, and my stomach goes, "Oh, what's going on?" I saw a thing on the internet, and you talking about driving made me think of it. And it was this girl talking about, actually, I think she was talking about women wanting to live a soft life, first, like, and she was saying, "I like to live a soft life is like privileged," whatever, that's not even like the part. But she was saying. I saw you losing it. Like, you were fighting for your life, and I was like, "She's not going to get it." It's on top of her tongue. It's gone. This is never going to be found. I saw a girl talking about living life. No, no, Hannah. You're hungover, too. What did you drink yesterday? The guy was like, "Oh, you got salt and sugar on it?" I'm really in a spicy margarita kick. Okay, I got it back. She was talking about how freedom, really, the definition of, like, women having freedom is having multiple options. And one of the things about being able to drive is, at any point, you can go. I'm like, "Kids, we're getting on the bicycle." Yeah, like, you need to have an exit strategy at any time. You need to know that you can go. So many situations that I've been like, "Well, I can't get out because the Uber is going to take 20 minutes." So many situations in my life where I've been going somewhere, doing something, and I've had a gut feeling, and I'm like, "I'm actually going to drive." And then something happening in me being like, "Yeah, see ya." Like, I'm not here. It's a little nice to be able to be in a car and lock it. There's a peacefulness to it. The relationship you have by yourself and your own car. No, I've like met a new hand. I'm like, "Who is this?" Yeah, it's like a different meditative state. It's so funny. Oh, this is our mental health moment. Wait, did your mom give you, like, different saint cards, like, put in your car and, like, a rozer? She's not as Catholic as you are. I'll tell my mom to send you some. Thank you, because actually that would look really nice on my dashboard. And I like making eye contact with St. Anthony while I drive. Of course, you need someone to keep safe. But this is a thing about religion. If that gives you the confidence you need to feel calm on the road, then that's amazing. Amazing. And makes everything better. Mental health moment, my mom was telling me because Bobby and Lois visited and Bobby within two weeks, like, his speech was getting so much better. And my mom's, like, a little scientist woman in STEM. And I don't know where she got this statistic, but she was basically, like, when kids travel, they have to, like, re-regulate. And, like, they basically, like, retain information better. Because they're, like, in a new environment. And they're just, like, a sponge. And then it got me thinking about, I feel like that's what the adults do. Like, me and you have both traveled more recently. And putting yourself in a different environment immediately makes you grow. It's kind of like when you're in a new relationship. Like, you come out of it and you're a more evolved person. So I'm not saying we all have to go to Fiji, but I'm saying, get on the train. Go to Rockaway Beach. Go somewhere. And it really does change your mindset. Yeah. Even just go for a walk. It really does re-ignite, like, your brain just to, like, rejiggle things. I know it's not, like, the scientific way to say it. But I just wanted to give that advice because I think it's true. When you're, like, in the same routine every single day, it might feel safe. But I think it's also, like, keeps you stuck a little. That's why you should break up with your boyfriends. A hundred percent agree. And I think, like, every couple of months, I feel like I do an activity that's, like, longer than, like, getting my nails done. Buy myself, like, outside of the home. And you feel better after. You almost feel, like, more confident. Like, oh, yeah, I can go and, like, sit there by myself. Like, one day I went to the beach all day by myself. And that was, like, small, but I was, like, no, I remember that day. Yeah, I'm going to hang out by myself and do stuff. Because you told me, like, four times. You're, like, hey, on the beach by myself. Like, because I was, like, do you want to come? Yeah, like, I know I'm tracking you. I know you've been there. But I also think I like challenging my identity. Where, like, people used to know me. I was, like, oh, Hannah, the girl can't fucking drive. And I'm, like, what if? What if, one day I could drive? You can't put me in a box anymore. You don't even know who I am anymore. Like, people from my past, they don't know this, Hannah. Right. Fucking drive, bro. What are you going to do? Is this a childhood trauma thing that you feel like you conquered? Not trauma. I mean, like, a high school thing that you're like, I never got my license. Well, at first, it was, it was like a cocky New York City thing. Like, people who could drive. We like not drive things. We love being like, yeah, we're from the city, of course, you don't drive. Oh, of course, you don't. We're going to park a car. Yeah, we're just like, yeah, we're from the city. Then I went to Wisconsin and I was like, yeah, I'm from the city I own drive. And then all my teammates would drive me everywhere, because I had 10 teammates with cars. And then it started to be a problem. Then it started being like, it went from cool to, oh, you don't drive? Yeah. Yeah. And also I grew up where like my nanids and it really drive. My uncle didn't really drive. So I kind of had this voice in my head, like, you might be like them. Like, you just don't drive. My mom doesn't really drive and she just live in a city. And that's why Kim's like, come on. Kim's not driving like 15 years ago. Like she'll drive if she has, if she has to get someplace, but typically she's like, call someone and she's like, drive me. And we do. I know plenty of people who drive that I'm like, maybe we shouldn't. No, and Kim is actually one of those people. And you know, yeah, you know in your heart of hers. Yeah, and she knows it too. She knows it too. It's called self-awareness update from last week. Talking about the Wiggles. Apparently, there's a hot wiggle. His name is John. Okay, I can tell he's he's tiny, but he's cute. He has a full family, like a kid and a mom. A wife and a wife. And he, um, he does like, he has his own like Wiggles page, where he's like, for the kids and they has another page where it's like, does hot stuff. So he lives like a double life of like, insta-thought, John, and like, hot dad. Like he's like, move my son. And he's like tattoos and stuff. And he can't do this. And the other one's like, oh, I can't do an Australian accent, but he's like, "Elbex, die chaos, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, um." What's his wife like? I think she's like very normal. Cool. She's not a Wiggle. So he married outside of the Wiggles culture. It's a community. Or a community. In another life, I was a Wiggle. I would love to be like, I looked at their concerts. It's fucking crazy. The Wiggles have really evolved since like, I'm almost talking about a Wiggles concert. Like, is all these toddlers losing their fucking mind while the Wiggles are like, throwing props around and dancing and singing? Like, it's the most fun concert I've seen in a long time. You know who's pissed? Blue's close. He's probably like-- Like I'm gonna say it's-- I put it in the time. I put it in the work. And I can't believe there's Wiggles full on Wiggles concerts and like spin off-- I can't believe the show's still even on. Okay, I want to produce a documentary series that finds all those people from her childhood. Do you remember like Miranda and the big clock or whatever? Yeah. So it feels like a drug trip. I'm like, I see a blue sofa. Yeah, yeah. We talked about this one time. Big, comfy couch. Yes, let's see from Blue's Clothes.
'cause I wanna know everything about how their life went and where they are now. - Wait, remember, they were gonna do it's part two of that Nickelodeon documentary and then they never did. - Someone put the kebash on it. - No, I need the part two of that dog. - No, yeah, that was super upsetting. All I know is shout out Raven Simone. I'm obsessed with her. She's like low key the reason I got into comedy. - Wait, I was just gonna say, I see a lot of her podcast clips and she's very funny. - She's amazing. - They're doing, I think that's so Raven reboot and I'm kind of pumped up. - I didn't hear that. I mean, everyone's going to the Lizzie McGuire concert. - Oh. - Did you know that Lizzie McGuire doesn't talk to her sister? - Are you my Hillary Duff or Lizzie McGuire? - Same thing. - Oh, same thing. Like her, not her sister on the show, her real life sister. - Yes, wait, we didn't talk about sterling point. It's on Amazon. - What's a sterling point? - It's a show. It sounds like a guy who bullied me in high school. Sterling point. - It's scripted. It's set in Canada. It's set on this like gorgeous lake and the main girl is literally Ann Hathaway's daughter. She actually played Ann Hathaway's daughter in another movie, but I can't think of what it was. - Oh no. I love her. It's a period piece 'cause it's in Canada. - She's kind of. - She's so beautiful. Oh, it's R-rated. - Is it? - It says raunchy. - Oh no, that was something else. - No, it's off campus. - No, this is like a high school, they're 17. - You love a high school drama. - I love it. - The second it's in high school, I'm like, I can't. - All I think about when I watch these high school dramas is my mother didn't let me out of the house. How are you guys running around doing all these things, like experiencing all of this mischief? But I love it. I love a high school. It's like Canadian thing, 'cause there's like wilderness. It's just so funny. My mom was like, please go to the party. Please go out and have some fun tonight. And I'm like, I even meshed my mom. That is so cute. I would be like, if I go out and I come home at this time, I could sleep for four hours. Also, I received backlash last episode because I'm normally full of positivity in life and light and laughter, but I had some critiques on the first episode of Furious, or maybe the first half of Furious. People were like, how do you lost the pot? Like, it's a great show. - It's a great show. - Do you have an update of how you recently felt about it? - Okay, well, I just watched the fifth episode and there is a part that is very realistic though in life because she does, like, go back to her abuser. And so it made me upset that that's where they took it. But I still stick by that I love that show. - I didn't get to the point where she had an abuser. - You didn't watch the show. And then you're coming and we've given you this platform and this forum to speak positivity into the world and make a real change in the lives of women. And you come on this platform and you abuse it. - Okay, let's not throw the a word around that often. - And, no, that's not that actually. - If it is a story regarding abuse and stuff, I think it's important and should be watched. - It is. It is a story regarding abuse and not just hers. It's the larger picture is about human trafficking. - Okay. - Oh, shit. - So, do you want to dial it back? - Okay, I apologize to community. - Watch it by yourself, you can't watch it with a man because they, like, aren't watching the same things we are, they're not experiencing it the same way we are, give it a go. - I also have yet to also delve into the Lindsey Clancy trial, but I have been getting messages to raise awareness about postpartum depression and how badly hers was handled. - Because it's not like it's a woman that it was like, she didn't ask for help, she didn't do so many doctors. She was on so much medicine, it's insane. - God, I also, it's not the first story of a woman accused of killing her kids with postpartum depression. By the way, this is how we like to end the pod in the darkest, saddest place. - Again, it's only up from here for your day. - Exactly, exactly, because life is about perspective. We have a weekend ahead of us. - Oh my God, yeah. - Yeah. - I have a wedding this weekend. And the Daphne fall photo shoot is actually tomorrow, so I'm very excited. - So exciting, I can't wait to see what everything looks like. And we love you guys. Thank you for giggling with us and we'll talk to you later. Bye. (upbeat music)
