Giggling about toe gate, premieres, and paparazzi

The speaker recounts a heartfelt and humorous reflection on the cultural impact of *The Devil Wears Prada*, which deeply influenced their identity during adolescence. They share a vivid, chaotic premiere experience marked by embarrassment over their hair, physical discomfort from a latte-induced illness, and a moment of bodily failure (farting) during a high-pressure event. Embedded within this narrative is a personal connection to the film’s protagonist, recalling how the movie felt like a mirror to their own aspirations in New York City. The conversation expands into deeper themes: intrusive thoughts and the reality of OCD, the erosion of attention spans due to TikTok and fast editing, and the emotional weight of shared experiences. A touching moment occurs when the speaker recognizes a former tennis prodigy, McCall Jones, linking personal history to current fame. The episode also explores quirky habits like losing small items and the ritual of personal grooming, while humorously critiquing modern consumption and social dynamics. Ultimately, the reflection celebrates vulnerability, friendship, and the power of memory—showcasing both personal growth and the enduring impact of early influences on one’s life choices.

[MUSIC PLAYING] Sup, giggler? Gary, fix your Wi-Fi. Manifest that shit. We can't be manners. [LAUGHTER] [MUSIC PLAYING] I'm in the day just got away from me. What's up, my go-girt, gigglers? This is not sponsored, just something that I enjoy. I don't know if there are even a still a company. I don't know, but they've shaped my childhood and how I view the world. Really, because I hated go-girt. They're not page-coded. Well, I didn't like yogurt at that young age. I was like, gross. Have ice cream, like a fucking normal person. See, I feel like I was like going to a softball game and I was like, mom, give me my go-girt. Yeah, it was marketed as kids who skateboarded. Kids on the go? Yeah, and I was like, I'm not on the go, I'm a child. No, we were on the go, and I love snacks. OK, we have so much to address. Actually, before we get into the devil worst proud of it all, I just have to say, I was doing research this morning. On? Is this the worst we've both ever looked? OK, well, we were supposed to record it 10, which it is 9.55 right now. And Page texted me at 9.35, like, hey, can we do it now? And I'd been up researching, so I was like, OK. What have you been researching at this hour? Well, set my alarm for 9, because I like to be up an hour before. And fun thing about me, I do have to set my alarm for 9. All right, we'll sleep. I will sleep. Not to brag. But they announced the new cast of Mormon in California. Yeah. Bobby Althoff is on it. Which I didn't know she was Mormon. I had no idea. They're everywhere. You never know. You never know. It's like a guy with a ponytail. You're like, it doesn't look like it. And then he turns and you go, huh? Didn't see that for you. Didn't see that for you, but she was married quite young, so that makes sense. So I mean, I think she's going to be a star on it. But then I'm looking through and all of them of like insane names. And one of them is, one of them is McCall. Cool. That's a very specific name. And something goes off my head. I said, McCall. And I look at her face, because it's been a long time. And I realized, that was one of the top tennis players in juniors. She was like a year older than me. But she's a different last name. And I'm good with faces. And obviously, her name's McCall, so I'm like, so her name was McCall Jones. So I googled it. She played for UCLA. She's like so good. phenomenal name. McCall Jones. Wait, you would have-- OK, you have to Google-- so this is what I was doing. I googled McCall Jones tennis. And now there's all these old matches coming up from like 15, 16 years ago, against with the names of girls that I've forgotten, because it's like 20 years ago. Their outfits were so sick. When you were one of the top tennis girlies, you walked in, you had your sponsor. You're wearing your outfit. You have your name. You have the way you wear your hair. You actually would love McCall Jones. I love her already. Bleach blonde hair. She's cute, cute, little grunt, babel out racquet. And I was like, who is this little-- and she's beating the hell out of everyone. So then I was just like in a tennis wormhole on morning, and then you texted me. And I had to get-- I would actually call is like a family name. Like if it's like her mom's made a name or something. Great question. But then the crazy thing is, she's Macy's sister. Because they all have different last names and they're all blonde, so you don't know. You know, I saw the picture of the cast. And I was like, oh, that looks like the other girl on Mormon lines. Like Macy. Yeah. They're gorgeous. And so Macy was younger than me. So I actually didn't know her, but she played for BYU. So anyway, the tennis girls are coming through, shout out. Shout out. Actually, that makes me really depressed that Macy's younger than us. Babe, most people are. No, I know. But not emotionally. Actually, I'm quite old. Sweet somebody's. This is actually diabolical. I was with like a couple of my girlfriends yesterday. It was great. Actually, they all work for me. I made them to be like, oh, no. You're in that sad place where all your friends are your makeup artists. This is when the documentary happens. And you're like, in the car, just like, who's there for me? Who's really there for me? And somebody said we were talking about like a famous singer and I was like, oh, she's like 40. And the girl looked at me and she was like, no, she's not. And I was like, oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Like, that was so mean of me. Like, I just-- Take my Katy Perry. No, but I was like, I just felt so bad, but I was shook that this woman was younger than me. It's like really scary when you realize you're-- Like, in my head, I'm 26. Like, 26, 27, 27. I'm 27. Yeah, like I'm in those three years. So then when someone says, like, oh, pages 33, I'm like, damn. Like, why would you say that? Wait, I think we talked about, and he goes, how we end up meeting when we were like pitching our show. And we were like two girls and they're late 20s. And at one point, someone was like, who were these girls and they're late 20s? And we were like us, and they were like, but you're not in your late 20s, and I said, excuse me? No, excuse me. We're going to be like 35 filming this show. Imagine we're both pregnant, being like, we're 22. A lot of actors play high school children. So yesterday, I took a depression app from 3 to 6. Damn. And Dez, like, had to wake me up because we were going to dinner. And I was like, cancel it, cancel it. And he's like, it's middle of the day. You got to get up. Aggressive? He wants me to like, live life. It's like, you know what I mean? I hate when people are like, you should do like more living. I'm just like, why are you at my house? Yeah, I'm not your apartment. I was like, this is my bedroom, my safe space. So he, um, oh, so at night, obviously, he's like, ready to go to bed at like 9 p.m. And I'm like, OK, I'm up. You're like, oh, you don't want to live anymore? You were going to bed like so where that you're never going to fall asleep. So I get into bed and I'm like, what do we want to do for the next four hours? Because we're not going to sleep. I decided to download Mahjong. Oh, no. I don't know if I'm the greatest Mahjong player ever. Or if it was just really easy levels. But, or if it's just a really easy game. But I was, I did play like 400 games. I was up till 3 a.m. playing Mahjong. So I am also in 85 year olds Jewish woman on long islands. No, you're truly like your needle pointing and playing Mahjong. Like, it's all about range. It's all about the plot. I think fast forward we're going to be playing Mahjong in your apartment soon. No, I would actually love that. Because the pieces are pretty. You'd like the pieces are pretty. I was literally just going to say that. I feel like it's really aesthetic. And I would love to have like a T set out with like finger sandwiches and like the whole kind of flowers. And like, but then like we're too competitive. So someone flips the table and you're like, I didn't get a photo yet. Before you flip the table, can you make sure I get the photo. Thank you. I'm actually having like kind of a grandma like a couple of days too. Because me and Kitty have been like, Kitty's been super obsessed with me lately. And there's nothing better than when your cat is like so down for you. Like, and it goes in waves. It's she's a girl. Like, sometimes she's like, I want to be alone. Like, see you later. And then other time she's like up my ass. Yeah. And recently, it feels like having a toxic crush. You know, recently we've been sleeping like head to feet. So like, so like her feet are by my head. And then like she stares at me while I like rub her until she like falls asleep. And she's so my daughter because she loves the bed. Like when I'm getting in the bed, she gets giddy. Like, she's like, yeah, she's like, and like any given moment if I can't find her, she's in my bed. And she has a million beds around. But like, she's like, you actually can't go anywhere in your apartment without a cat bed within two feet. Because what if she gets tired? I know. You know, and she's been like doing this thing where like we play with my hair. And then like when you're like, I like, you know, she like grabs it. Here's what I love about cats because dogs will play until they actually die. Like they don't know when to stop. It's like eating. Like they'll eat themselves to death. Like cats would be like, I'm full. Like what? When cats are done playing, they just like plop. She's like, that's all literally like, and we've had our time. Like let's, but then they act to like, you should have known that they decided. Yeah, they're like, why would you touch me? I'm like, sorry, I thought we were playing. She's like, no, we're done playing. Anyway, shall we discuss the devil's product? Can we start from the beginning? But wait, before we start, I just want to say, I can't wait to do this pod into like our 80s. Because there's so many things that happen that like legally, we could just never say, or like the nuances would be lost. Or like people would be like, you're bitter. And I'm like, no, it's just like what happened. So I can't read these poopies. She's still talking about this. You're 84. No, best believe I'm still going to be beating the same horse at 65, like I don't be like and remember when he did this If you have something good to talk about talk about it So we couldn't talk about it then because uh, we literally had NDA It's like we couldn't say that we cameoed in Devil Wars Prada now So Hannah and Paige got it this was the toenail day This was the nail day that they were like she can't go out there She doesn't have any nail polish on this is the devil wears Prada I'm in glam. I have something before. I don't even know what I had before but I come glam You were working. You were late. Okay, whoa you weren't late.

We're at like a part like a big party But it was like a full day of filming. Yeah, well, I do have to say shout out to Aileen She's a writer who I'd met Like before they started filming they were like she wrote the devil was proud and I was like I need to meet this girl She's clearly like she like defines generations So we met and we just hit it off. She's so fucking cool and smart and then fast forward She was like hey you and page you're gonna be um in one of the like party scenes And I was like are you fucking kidding me But it was so page and Hannah coded because literally I was getting stopped like to the press being like are you excited for page? Are you excited for her like first big acting gig and I was like I can't speak on that right now And then I think you did like a full barber walker I went to see where they were like yeah I went to CBS morning show to promote like Daphne launch and gale king who I'm like Obsessed with because her pens always match her outfits and I just think that she always is taking meticulous notes That is real journalism if your pen matches your outfit you you're prepared if your pen matches your belt And she's a great journalist and she and so my publicist was like and don't ask page about the devil Where's Prada because she signed an end yet and gale looked at them and was like I'm gonna do my job and why don't you do yours And so we get on and she's like the devil where's Prada Thank God immediate trained and it was just so funny that like You were there. I said this is actually so fucking funny and this is so me and page and this is why I love our friendship Because one day we're gonna be able to tell the story to the kicklers because also It's not just that I like didn't get papped. I was literally but they were literally dealing with my hang now They were amputating your toes. They were like we can't we can't have their represent. You were like were you outside getting papped I was like I'm in a dentist office right now for my toe So mind you the shot is three seconds like it from my neck up three seconds Wait to the point that my mom I didn't tell you this happened. She literally goes when are they gonna when's your scene? I go my scene was 30 minutes ago. She missed it Okay, and I had such I didn't actually even tell you this I had such a full circle moment first. I remember When the devil wears Prada came out Um, I was in eighth grade and I was in New York City with my parents and we were on Canal Street And they used to do like people used to go into movie theaters and film the movie and it would be like the bootleg version of the movie Yeah, and so it was moving a little Yeah, it was always like moving a little and you could like hear someone's voice in the background The picture was like never good But the bootleg DVD was like on the street. They were selling it and I looked at my dad and I was like No, like you got to get me this movie and that was when like TVs were in like the headrest in like cars. Hey, do you wear aging yourself? Whatever and I watched it on the way home and I literally got done with the movie and I was like This just shaped my whole it shaped my whole existence You are so Emily so Emily like during the movie. I kept looking at you be like you would But Emily is actually the funniest one in the movie. She's very funny and she's very like She's cold, but she's not like no like she doesn't want to be but everyone thinks she is So she just like goes with that persona, but she like actually doesn't want to be cold But then so when the movie was over I got too personal Yeah, I got I really hit home. Sorry, I'm trying to express myself Then when I got in the car to like call my mom to like tell her how it was I started crying And she was like oh my god. Are you crying and I'm like I don't know what's going on. I'm like sorry I just feel like it's such a full circle moment because I would watch this movie and watch these girls like get ready for work And get in their apartments and I would always be like oh my god one day my New York City apartment is gonna be so fucking good And I just got so overwhelmed in that moment like talking to my mom. I cried the whole way home That was like me when I watched Toy Story 3 No, no, it was so nostalgic and we'll speak about the movie but Because when we watched it we were in high school watching like a girl trying to be successful in New York City So then watching it now where her job evolves and now we're like not to say working women It makes me sound like I'm in the 1950s. Yeah, but like We are career now we're working women in the city and watching her. So you feel like you grew with her. Yeah One thing I did like one interview when I got there one interview They got me. Yeah, it's funny. I was watching the video of someone asking me a question and my brows are furrowed Mm-hmm, what was sunny? It was sunny and then also you know when you can't hear someone So you try to see them in your eyes Yeah, you can like see them better So I actually it was a crazy line. I couldn't my brows were furrowed and then like I heard it and then I answered And I was looking at some of the comments and they were like why is your face like that whatever and I was like oh They haven't seen a girl being able to like move her eyebrows in an interview. Okay, don't come Not you, not you, but I was looking at like a lot of interviews people's face don't move My brows are moving. I'm like move then like my eyebrows really move like I could do the rock Okay, let's go close in personal if you're watching this on youtube or getting close in personal This is a perfect example of Botox So before I got Botox, I never had this line. No stop. No stop it So I don't know if when it fully goes away if this will go away like I've never had this It has it has to go away. My chin is like finally coming back like my I watched like me talking from the side on something And I was like oh, okay good like my jaw is starting to move yeah Yeah, anyway Okay, real talk have you ever had a thought pop into your head that feels so random and upsetting and then your brain will just not let it go Like you try and move on distract yourself talk yourself out of it Maybe even google it and somehow it just keeps coming back a lot of people don't realize that can actually be OCD In OCD is much more than being neat or organized It can look like intrusive thoughts, constant doubt and feeling stuck in a loop trying to get relief These thoughts can feel very real which is what makes them so upsetting It can attach itself to things you care about most your relationships your identity your values Which is what makes it feel so scary and isolating but it doesn't have to be that way because OCD is highly treatable With the right kind of specialized therapy and that's not regular talk therapy Which can actually make OCD worse OCD needs ERP or exposure and response prevention Which is proven to be the most effective treatment and that's where no CD comes in No CD is the world's leading provider of OCD treatment and their license therapist are specially trained in ERP therapy They'll help you learn how to respond differently to intrusive thoughts so they hold less power over you And they provide support between sessions when you need it the most So you're never facing OCD alone No CD offers live face-to-face virtual therapy and they're covered by insurance for over 138 million Americans If this sounds familiar go to nocd.com and book a free 15-minute call that's n-o-c-d.com So we had also a different experience because As I told you, it was the day we recorded our last podcast, my mom had drugged me that morning. Right. With a whole milk latte. I don't know what happened that whole day my stomach was, like, I had diarrhea. Mind you, we're at Lincoln Center. We're at, like, in the Mecca of New York City. It's like, the classiest. I actually had never been in there for, like, a performance. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. I don't know if I've been there. Also, I realized when I was sitting in the movie, I haven't been to the movie since 2020. I know you turned to me. You're like, what is this? Wait a minute. I just realized I've been to the movies in six years, and that's disgusting, and I'm, like, mad at myself. But I'm sorry to the ballet and opera and to Timothy Chalamet, but I don't go to the movies. Also, I hate when we go to events, we go separately, and it's, like, chaos. Like, I knew you were coming. I felt like I was at a wedding, and I, like, lost my mom or something. I don't know. I was, like, in a department store and I'm, like, mad at myself. And we see each other from across this, like, they, by the way, when it comes to premieres, like, this was one of the biggest, oh, Kitty is walking on me. Kitty was like, you guys aren't funny. I just got shot by Kitty. No, she's obsessed with me. I've had a lot of dudes. So we saw each other, and then immediately we were okay. And every time we see each other at anything, like, I know you're going there. I'm texting you on five minutes away. I'm two minutes away. When we see each other, it's as if we haven't seen each other since high school. It's like the weirdest thing. We go into this weird, like, oh, my God, I didn't know you were going to be here. It's so bizarre. We do it every time. It's because we spend so much time alone. So I think when we spend time with other people, we have, like, our, we're, like, both us with other people around who are we. But okay, so finish what you did in Lincoln Center. My hair, um, I don't do updews, but my hair stylist was, like, just let me, let me go for it. And I said, okay, fuck me up, fam. And I looked in the mirror. I was like, I'm a spice girl. I'm obsessed with this. I'm obsessed. You were baby spice. I was baby. I was love, I was loving it because it, like, kind of covered my ears enough that I didn't feel like I was, like, just ears all over the carpet. And it's high, like, it's, it was high. So we sit down in the theater and a million to moldenberg was, like, to the right. And I realized, like, oh, shit, like, famous people are, like, sitting behind us. And my hair is really high. And Hannah kept turning around. Nobody had sat directly behind her yet. And Hannah kept turning around to, like, that row being, like, I'm really sorry that my hair is like this, like, like, I hope you guys can see the movie, like, you were really worried about it. Well, I don't want to be that dick that I was, like, I wouldn't, like, who's wearing that hat? Like, who's wearing that hat? Fucking burn her hair was in front. I didn't consider this. And then I was, like, whoever sits behind me, like, I feel bad. But I'm like, whatever, I'll apologize to whoever it is. Heidi fucking gloom sits behind me. And I'm like, oh, my God. And immediately I'm like, Heidi, I was, and she, like, doesn't make eye contact with me. Like, she didn't see me. Like, and I was, so I tried to apologize the first she didn't see me and then I turned away. I was like, we'll try that again. Which is one of the most embarrassing things. I don't have them. Yeah. And I, like, I was like, Heidi was over there. And then I finally turned and I was like, Heidi, I just, it is so weird to just know someone's name and not introduce yourself. But I was like, Heidi, I just want to apologize for the hair. And she was like, oh, my God. I don't care. You're good. Whatever. So sweet, so nice. But then the whole time, I was like, trying to inch to the side, making sure that she could do it. Wait, I was wondering why you were doing that. Wait, in terms of my mom. Yeah, because I was like, oh, I have things I want to say to her, but I'm not going all the way over to Afrika to say it. You were so far. You can't be whispering in front of Haley Kloom. Haley Kloom. Sorry. She's so fucking iconic and gorgeous. I'm obsessed with her. So, okay, this is the tea, which I like didn't even want to say, but I'm going to say it. Once you put on your spanks and they like put your dress a certain way, like you can't be going to the bathroom all the time. And I was having a stomach day. I was just holding in whatever it was going on. And then finally, we get to the cocktail bar and it was like really loud, and there was like, no one behind me. And I was like, I need a fart. I need to let this out. Mind you, we're at the devil wears, we're at my religion, we're at my Super Bowl, my Christmas. If you don't fart, you're tummy hurts. Yeah. And I didn't. I just like, I just thought it was safe. And so when you look gorgeous, no one thinks you farted and they were meant there. So I was like, oh my god, men are gross. No, like actually, I don't, I don't like take advantage of that enough. Like no one would ever think it was me. You would know. It's not your brand. I'm going to start doing it. So I let one rip because it was like a back, it was backed up. Like it was beyond backed up. I needed to let it go. And I was made a conversation with someone. Oh, there was like a couple people that I didn't know I do, they were like, how are you doing? I was like, this is all, page, I don't even want to say a lot. It was what? And I sharded at the devil at Lincoln Center. I didn't shit myself. I sharded with your two very different things. A shard is a mistake. It's when your body betrays you. And I was sick that day. I was sick. My mom had drugged me. And she was there. She knew what she did. You know in that moment, you're like, no, I did it. I'm fine. But then you're walking around and you're like, something's bad to going on. I don't want to went to the bathroom. I had to like do damage control because I sharded on my spanks. And then just walk back in, like, nothing happened. And then sit next to you. And I was like, don't tell Paige. This is like her. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like so acting debut. Paige is my, when you leaned over and told me that, I literally thought you had, like, you were playing a prank on me. Like, you just want to see my reaction. I would never want to ruin your night, like, I know. I was a guest. You were quite empathetic, actually. Yeah. Are you okay? No. Well, because there's nothing worse as a UTI girl, there's nothing worse being uncomfortable and having to sit somewhere and pay attention when something in your nether regions is happening. Like, regardless of what it is, you're like, something in my undercarriage is not going right. And I was like, a big shard. It was just enough that you were like, that was an error. That was an error. I have only ever done it once in my life. And it was the first time I ever smoked a cigarette. Did you get, like, a stomach ache from it? I think my body was just like, we've never had nicotine before. Oh, yeah. And I got, like, a little stomach ache and I was like, oh, I have to fart. And I was like, oh, I gotta just shit my pants. It's actually the most uncomfortable feeling, because you're like, did I just pee myself? Well, then, like, that, people do, like, drink a cup of coffee, smoke a cigarette to, like, take a shit in the morning. Like, some people do that. So I think my body was just like, we've never experienced this before. And I have stomach aches all the time, like, I record stomach aches. But there's a thing about, like, before I go on stage, your body sometimes knows, like, you can't shit yourself. And it, you, you, the adrenaline, like, makes you, like, not have to go to the bathroom. So that's kind of what I thought was happening when I was at the premiere. I'm like, oh, I'm good now. I'm good. I'm good. The second problem was my hair, which was incredible, and I need to do it again. I had maybe 472 bobby pins in my hair. And like, on hour three, my head started to, like, throb. I was like, I need to have a lobotomy. Yeah. So like, my head was hurting. My butthole was hurting. I need to get out of there. Yeah. Which we did. No, I got it. It was actually really funny, because before the movie was ending, I, like, you know the movie is about to end. And I start thinking, like, we're never getting an Uber out of here. Everyone's like the traffic. The traffic's going to be insane right when the credits start rolling. Me and Hannah look at each other and Hannah's like, we got to get out of here because. That's what I was thinking. So we're like running, like, we're running, like, truly, like, I look at Lucho and I'm like, stay behind. You left her for that. Yeah. Lucho was taking photos of the screen. And Paige was like, bye, but I'm like, stay behind. You're going to get lost in the sauce because yeah, we could have been stuck there forever. We get on to the escalator to, like, go down to leave. And we're like, oh, my God, like, we really, like, we got to get out here, get out of here. And your mom looks at us and she goes, guys, there's an after party that I would assume the majority of people are going to. She basically was like, not you two losers, but we're going to be fine. And we looked at each other and we were like, yeah, I didn't know there was a cool after party. I got home, shawared, and then one of our agents, because, you know, agents love parties. Wait, mind you, my Uber came in one minute. One minute. One minute. We're right in the front, like in front of the premiere, they were waiting for me before I even got outside. Like, I'm so New Yorkers to be like, we're never going to get home. This is a mess. Also, because we don't do crowds, like, I haven't been in a crowd like that. I was like, we're going to get just, like, stumbled over, but yeah, literally my agent was like, hey, where are you? And I was like, I sent a photo of me lying on the couch. And I was like, we're at the after party with Anna Hathaway and Merrill Street. Where are you? One thing about me, you'll never find me at after party, because I come in 150. I'm kissing babies. I'm saying hi to everyone. I can't then run. into these people again, I've already had my moment. - Here's the thing, because I've lived in New York City for so long for me, nothing good has ever happened for me at an after party, not one time. - Oh no. - A lot of bad things have happened to me, never anything good. - But it's true, like I like to like give people a small dose and then you get your good low interaction, you leave, I can't. - You keep the money more than you can. - Yes. - You've been guessing. - Yes, be mysterious. - Do you have anything more to say about this, or can we switch gears a little? - Let's switch gears. I feel like I was so happy. We've been wanting to joke about that for so long. - For so long, it was like a year. - Because every gig I did, people were like, was this the toenail gig? I was like, - People thought it was the birdie shoot. I was like, - If that was the birdie shoot, just wait. - So I'm like picking out my stuff for the newsletter this week and I'm like, oh, like let me put the Chloe Kardashian perfume in there, like the girls are definitely gonna want it. So I Google it and I'm like, hmm. That's like not what my bottle looks like. That's like so interesting. Like, let me Google, like, 'cause mine came in like a plastic bottle. I don't know if it's like a travel size. Then I'm like looking for the bottle. I'm like, let me go like look and see what the name of it is. Can't find it. I text my assistant. I'm like, any chance you've seen my Chloe Kardashian perfume, like I literally can't. - You and you have such different expressions with the people we work for. - Have you seen my Chloe Kardashian perfume? - And she's like, I actually have it. And it's, I am notorious for throwing things in bags and taking them places and like- - And I'm like this- - So I'm like, that's so weird. Like I can't find it, whatever. So I'm like, Googling. I'm like, I know it's in a plastic bottle, I'm just gonna Google Chloe Kardashian plastic bottle perfume. Hannah, I've been spraying hair mist. (laughing) All over my body. And you know, I had a thought where I was like, I feel like it actually doesn't last that long, but I was gonna say that because like, I'm not trying to be negative about it 'cause it make it doesn't smell really good, but I do feel like I reapply a lot. - So now we know why you get used to it. - We've solved full circle. You're spraying Chloe Kardashian hairspray on your tukers. I love how you were like- (laughing) You know, every girl bought it. (laughing) So I got a couple of Googlers DM me and they're like, hey babe, girls put it in her hair. - You put it in her hair. - Three arms. - You put a hair mist in, is that the perfume? Then they're sending me pictures of the bottle 'cause there are, she has two bottles. One's like purple and one's like clear. - And I'm like, I don't think that's the one mine. - What's the one thing? - I love it 'cause you also were so like, you're like- - I was so passionate about it. - You're like, I'm a sommelier of sense in this world. (laughing) Oh my God. - Yeah, that's like what you do. - And it's missing. It's also still missing. I can't find it. I don't know if I put it in like, it's in some bag. I know it's in a bag somewhere. I just don't know what you're on. - Or you could just order another, babe. - I know, but I'm like, see, I don't lose things. So when I do lose something, I'm like, no, no. But that's also a kind of girl of like, this is actually a mess for your eyebrows. - Well, I'm like, what is the difference between a mispray and a perfume, like a hair mist? - That is such a question. - 'Cause it's a hair mist scent. It's not like- - Yeah, it's not doing anything. - It's not doing anything for your hair. It's just like making it smell good. But I'm like- - Can one of the giggler engineers in STEM let us know what the difference between what's in hair spray versus hair scents? - Like what's in a hair scent versus like a regular perfume? - Yeah. - Like what makes them different categories? - Maybe there's more chemicals in perfume. - I don't fucking know. - 'Cause don't people put perfume on their hair too sometimes? - I mean, when I'm doing it, I'm doing it all over anyway. So I'm like, okay, yeah, it's definitely getting a little bit in my hair. - Maybe hair scent sprays are kind of just, literally just perfume, but they like sell it. - It's just marketed differently. - Maybe, I don't know. But you definitely shouldn't be putting it in certain places like you've been doing it. - Okay, I'm not like putting it in my vagina. Like, I'm not like- - Well, you weirdly- - But- - But- - I'm having UTIs the second you lost it. (laughs) - So you know what is funny? One of my girlfriends, like back in the day, used to work for a makeup brand. And so she would like always give me different tips. And one, I'll never forget. One of her tips was don't ever put perfume on your clothes, like to really get the scent. You have to put it on your skin. And she was like, and don't rub it in, you know how people will like put it on their wrists and then rub it. She was like, no, that like does nothing. It's not like going in more. It's just like rubbing it off. And so every time when I get out of the shower, then I lotion, then I mist, then I like deodorant, and then I'm ready for clothes. - Literally get out of the shower. I'm like, is that does this towel or my towel? (laughs) Or is that a bathroom rug? Fuck it, I don't know. - No, we're so different in our, because I like to give myself a spot experience at home. - Yeah, I like, it's my, it's my hobby. - I forgot the one last devil was proud of thing is I just wanted to address the finger guns. I've never thought about what my glam bot would be. And I actually was like, okay, as a creative in this industry, like how does this not cross your desk? Like I never thought about it. So in that moment, I was like, what is like the corneus thing I can do? And then everyone was laughing, 'cause you like literally didn't acknowledge me doing it, which is just perfect. - Because I like freeze during those things, 'cause I'm like, when someone's like look really cool and pretty, I'm like, no, I can't. - Wait, how take you guys? It's not that fast. I thought it was gonna be crazy. And then I found myself feeling like I was doing finger guns for an hour. - I don't know if that was like the real glam bot. - I don't think that was a little, yeah, that was like an off brand, game. - I don't see the devil worse proud of having an off-brand glam bot, but maybe not. - No, but I don't know. I thought it was gonna be fast and I was doing finger guns for too long. - Can I say actually one more thing about the movie? - Yep. - I think it's so hard to do a sequel, especially because that first movie was so good. And I really think they did a very good job of it being having nuances of like today's world, but still like calling back to the old movie and having this like nostalgia, and obviously like the clothes are so great, and like there's so many good, cute, funny jokes. At one point though, I felt really old because I'm watching the movie, and I'm like, it's going so fast. Everything's going so fast. - As someone who hasn't watched reality TV in five years, who's now seen some scenes like all over the internet, the editing is so crazy and fast. In reality TV, no one finishes a sentence. It's just like, and in it, and in it, and in it, and in it, people don't talk like that. These people are going on full-rants, and it's getting cut to one fuck you. - Yeah, nothing is a complete start to finish conversation. - Even some like food network shows, I'm like, why is it being cut so crazy? Like I'm having a migraine from it? - Well, I almost feel like it's because of TikTok. Like TikTok has 100% is the main reason that our attention span is going down. - And so I really felt like things were like a little edited like TikTok, where I was like, okay, that was a quick scene. Like, I don't know if it was 'cause of eye-sharded, and my hair was hurting, but I did at some point, I was like, this is a long movie. - Also, Lincoln Center doesn't believe in butter on your popcorn, which is a personal choice that they've made. - I was like, talk to the manager. - And that's what you trust that with. - Fine. - It was fashion. That's like when you go somewhere in LA, and they don't offer bread. - There was a moment where I was like, maybe Timothy Salomey has a point. No one's gonna know the ballet because you guys don't believe in salt and butter, okay? - I'm just like, I can't raw dog this popcorn with no liquid. - No, someone could die. If you raw dog popcorn without a little moisture from butter, it could get wedged. - And there weren't snacks. Like, I thought it was gonna be like a-- - Or derves. - No, I thought like they were gonna have like a pop-up like concession stand. One thing about me, and it might not, it might not align with my brand, but when I hear the words concession stand, I'm like-- - I think of a Zeppeli. Do you think of a Zeppeli when you hear a concession stand? - No, I think of French fries and-- - Hot dogs. - Catch up. And then I also think of, there used to be these lollipops that were like powdered, and there was a color on one top and a color on the bottom. And like when my brother played-- - This, whatever, who knows what we were there for. I was in the concession stand. - And you dip it in the, that was actually, I don't know what kind of sweets and methadone the kids are using these days, but we had, like remember, the ones that would pop in your mouth. - Pop rocks? - Pop rocks, like he'd literally be having a full, like, Chernobyl in your mouth. - Yeah. - And you were like, perfect, this is what I need right before my math class. - You know what people also don't talk about? - The women that would run the concession stand, they ran a tight program. - Yes. - Like, they were the moms that, they do it all. They did the schedule on who was on the concession stand. They knew what team was playing where, and I was always just like very in awe of the women working the concession stand. Like I respected them at a young age. I feel like and then I was like, can I come in and sit there? We would play in Prospect Park where it literally was just hot dog stance It was just like a guy and he would just pull a hot dog out of some I won't say water because it probably wasn't water Whatever isn't it tastes so fucking good. Then I'd be like mom can I have another and she'd be like no? Yeah, wow. She's like how do you don't need two hot dogs at 5 p.m. We haven't even had dinner yet And I was like mommy should be wait. I haven't had a hot dog in a minute So good. It's so good. I actually might need to like get what I love for people like you know It's really bad for you and I'm like so is your phone So at least at least maybe twice at least once a year I'm getting a hot dog on the street actually the other day I was like early for an appointment and I was like you know what I'm getting a goddamn pretzel and I got a street pretzel And you put mustard on it. I typically do but I didn't in this moment because I was walking and I was like I can't also like one of my when you get the right bite with the chunk of salt ends a little must Wait, we're so annoyingly new york right now my final devil was proud of thought because you're right We didn't talk about the movie. Yeah, I think everyone should see it. I think it totally did it justice Yeah, I actually was belly-living. My last reap is speck attack and lore um and I think it did it justice because it's so hard for a sequel to hold up and I think it really did So standing to choose like amazing. Oh my god. It was amazing and it had to be gorgeous gorgeous, you know the first one the rumor was that Everyone was afraid to lend them clothes because Anna went they're making fun of on a win tour and they were like we're not trying to cross on a win tour The woman that wrote the book like wrote the story of the devil wears Prada like the true story was there And Anna went or was also there did you hear the guy who was like presenting the movie? He was like I didn't know what that joke was because you laughed at it Yeah, because it was the girl that wrote it and then her and then and that and he was like they're obviously not sitting with each other Well, it goes back to women being bosses where it's like yeah burner at the stake God forbid a woman gets something done God forbid someone's working not at a glacial pace. I totally agree with that But the fact that Anna went to our can laugh at herself is important and I think the fashion was insane I also do think there's like offices run by some women that are probably nightmarish Like honestly when I interned in fashion PR I was like yeah No fucking way am I doing this every day the truth is the the boss can make a break your job We're personally terrified of grace and she's been actually creating kind of a toxic environment So she's editing this right now. So I just want to let her know. Maybe she could be a little nicer It's funny because the other day me and Hannah were on a zoom and they were like and tell us a little bit about you guys Sorry you in the last zoom all I was doing was screenshotting her face because she was falling asleep I was like we can see what's a video zoom and she has her hand on her cheek Like as if she's awake. We played good cop bad cop because I asked like we're so I'm so into it and they get all excited And then they look at you and you look like you'd rather be anywhere but there and then you ask one question at the end that like makes no sense and throws them on No, you asked a really good question the last one and then I was like We literally play good cop bad cop. I've never realized that you're like I'm so excited and we could do this and we could do this And then I come in and I'm like, but you know what I hate We end every meeting where I go think we could be talking to anyone and I go Thank you so much.
