Centra. Live every day. Enjoy alcohol sensibly. What's up, giggler?
Gary, fix the WiFi. Manifest that shit. We can't be managed. I mean, the day just got away from me. What's up, my giggleristas? I think that's cute as fuck. That's cute.
Wait, I don't know why this just triggered this, but this is so funny. Okay, so when we got home from tour, we got home what? Friday night, we drove home from Atlantic City. Then Saturday, my mom stayed with me all day and then took the train later in the day. One of the things she said to me was, Hannah's always so happy. She's always in such a good mood. I was like, No, literally, I think I could count on my hand how many times I've actually seen her upset her in a bad mood. She goes, And she's so silly. Everything she says is silly. I start laughing. I'm like, No, I know. She's just so funny. She goes, It's It's interesting because...
Say it.
If anyone else had Hannah's personality, you would hate them. You would get so annoyed. But everything she says, you're dying laughing. And I start laughing just thinking about you. She's like, She's like your real best friend. I was like, No, I think everything she says is pure comedy gold.
She's not as funny as you think she is. She's the average person would be like, Okay, we get it.
She's like, I think there's something wrong with you guys. You think everything is funny. I'm like, No, it is.
No, we have it. Well, thank you, Kim, for calling me a little silly news. We have We had fun on tour.
No, we had fun.
We had fun with your mom on tour. However, we almost died again.
No, we almost died.
Should we discuss? Should we go right into it? Well, I decided, I have a rule. If it takes less than three hours to drive somewhere, we're going to drive instead of a plane. Because even if a plane is quick, the whole driving, so whatever. So this took three and a half hours to drive. But I was like, We're doing it. We're going at night. We're going to fly through traffic. Because after shows, you're all hyped up.
You're hyped up. There's also something about being on the East Coast where you're like, Well, we'll just drive. We were in Washington, DC.
I'm not flying. We don't know where anything is on the East Coast. We just know that we're close.
I have a better gage of where we are when we're on the East Coast, obviously, than the West Coast.
Florida, Rhode Island, same shit.
We do a show in our last show in Washington, DC, and then the next day we have to be in Atlantic City. So after Washington, DC, we're like, Let's just get in a car service, drive to Atlantic City.
And it was a last minute decision on our part. I'm like, Fuck it, we're driving.
Let's go. It was a last minute decision. Also, I like driving because it's just me, you, and Grace. So we're all together. It's easy. Three is an easy number.
But the first drama started where you go in the back where you like to go because you like to lay down and become an iPad kid.
I get the third row.
But Kim was in the car with us. And I'm not putting Kim in the back. Kim is mother, period. I said, Kim, you go in the seat over there, and you're not sitting next to the strange man in the front. And neither is Grace.
Grace is our CEO, so she gets a bucket seat.
So she gets a bucket seat. I go into the back, and I can feel your eyes looking at me. I can feel you being like, How dare you? I'm like, I'm so sorry.
I felt like a cat. I was like, Who are you? This is the back row. This is for sleepy iPad kids.
I'm like, Scooch on the end. I'm like, Forget I'm here. You're watching like, This is us. No, you're watching Grace Anatomy. You're all in on it.
I'm deep in Grace Anatomy.
So I'm in the third- Your mom tries to talk to you and you're like, I'm watching Grace Anatomy. What do you think this is? A fucking TED Talk?
No, when I travel, I have to get into my own cocoon. I have to be with myself.
Kim's like, Why did you bring me here if you're just going to watch Grace and Adme the whole time?
She's a good energy source to have. So we're in the car. We're driving. The three, Hannah, Grace, and my mom are chatting, talking. It's the first hour of the ride. I'm headphones watching my iPad. Something comes over me. I think maybe I saw Hannah laughing, and I was like, What is Hannah laughing about? I want to know what they're talking about.
We were actually having a really cute talk with Kim, and we were talking about you a little, when you were little or something. I was looking back at you, and you sensed there was fun energy happening, and you felt a little.
I sensed that there was good combo happening. I take my headphones off, and now I'm engaged in the conversation. I don't notice it as much When we're leaving Washington, DC, because it's probably what? 11:00 PM. And there was a little bit of traffic. It's a car service. It wasn't an Uber, so I'm really not thinking about it. We're on the road Now, we're an hour and a half into the car ride, maybe two hours into the car ride. And I take my head- It's like midnight. Yeah, it's like midnight. I'm now alert in the car, and I'm noticing the driver, and Am I rarely ever like this? But if there's one thing about me, I do not fuck around in cars. I don't know if in a past life, something did happen to me in a car, because even in high school, I've never thought it was funny to go super fast. I was always the kid in the car that was like, Put your fucking seat belt on and don't do that. I don't like any shenanigans. That's why I don't drive.
That's why I don't drive. I said I'm not playing the percentage game.
We don't care that Hannah doesn't have a license. It's for the greater good.
But my thing is because I don't drive, I don't have those little alert signs. Certain senses, yeah. I have no fucking clue what's going... Someone could ram a curb and I'll be like, Do you want to go to Wendy's? I don't care, and I don't notice anything, and I'm just here for fun. I'm here for the funsies.
The first thing I notice is we're in a two-lane highway. We're in the left lane. Tractor trailer is in the right lane. He's coming up to pass us, and our driver starts to go into the shoulder where the bumps are. We're feeling it. I feel that he's... The tractor trailer isn't getting that close to us, that we need to be in the shoulder of the lane. Is this guy losing control of the car? That kerfuffle gets fixed. He's back on the road. Okay, now I'm alert. Now I'm watching his eyes in the rear view mirror from the third row, and he's taking really long blinks. And I'm like, this fucking guy, is he like...
See, I'm trying to see him, but it's gotten dark at that point. And at this point, everything's gone silent in the car, and we're all speaking with our eyes. I'm looking at you. You're looking at your mom. She's looking at Grace. Grace is looking at me. I'm looking at you. This goes on for 30 minutes where this guy keeps doing weird shit.
Doing weird shit. In the beginning of the car ride, which Hannah pointed out, this is a great detective work. Hannah pointed out that in the beginning of the car ride, we pulled off to a gas station, which I thought, when you got to go, you got to go. This guy had to pee. We're about to get it on a three-hour car ride. He's got to go. Hannah said, flags up. That was weird. I've never had a driver stop in the beginning of the ride. Usually, they're a little bit more prepared. He got a snack.
So, yeah, this is the thing. He, 25 minutes in, is like, Can I pull over? I've never had it. Also, I'm like, Pea in the woods. I don't know. We don't need to... Whatever. I was fine with it. But then he was gone for a bit, and he comes back without a coffee or a Red Bull, which is also fucking weird. He just got chips. So we're in full investigating mode. And that was while you were still on your iPad. And Grace and your mom, who are better at driving than me, look at each other and they were like, Is he driving aggressive? So they already were on his case.
Ears were perked up. We were in it. So then we're in the middle lane. He starts to go really slow. So my head is like- 55. Yeah, 55 on a major highway. 55 with no traffic on the highway. Yeah. So I say to him, I speak up and I go, Sir, are you okay to drive? Do you want to pull over for a little? Are you getting tired? Because it is 12:30 at this point.
Which I was so proud of you for speaking up because I didn't have the balls. I was like, I do not want to upset this man. Take me out. If that's how I die, that's how I die. I'm not accusing this man of falling asleep right now. He could be passed out in the car and I wouldn't want to wake him up.
Me and Hannah are in the third row. As soon as I speak up and start talking, Hannah crouches down behind the seat and ducks her head down.
It is so funny that we did reality TV because I can't explain to people how much I hate confrontation.
I like, Sure?
I remember. No, but you were so polite about it. You were just like, Sir, are you okay? I think it was so awkward because it was so obvious that he wasn't okay because he was like... He was not okay. He kept not using his blinker because I think he was just like... He was falling asleep and then going to another lane to pretend he was on purpose when it wasn't.
Yes, and it wasn't. Not a blinker in sight, Hannah.
And then there were some...
A blinker Blinkert has not been used at one point in this car.
I don't know how to use a blinker, but I know you have to use it. You were right.
You were so spot on.
Then there was a turn he had to do, and he did not make the turn. No, I mean... Do you remember what I said? I whispered to you, I said, This is how I drive during my nightmares when I have to drive and I can't control the car. So if you could just imagine. I need to wake up.
How Hannah drives in her dream is how it felt being in this car. So he then does this really crazy turn off of an exit to get on this different highway. And I mean, we almost go full force into a cement wall, and that's when I go, Okay. Then I speak up again and I go, Sir, do you mind pulling off on the next exit? And he goes, Yeah, no problem. Pulls off on the next exit. I go, I go literally any parking lot.
Pick a parking lot. I'm laughing Because Paige is just in like, We need to fix this mode, where I'm thinking, We have to explain to this guy what's going on, even though he's pretending he's fine. So you just go any parking lot, and he's like, The Wawa, do you want Popeyes? I go, You pick. Paige is like, Right here. So it's this bank that's It's closed and we're sitting there. Paige is like, I'm calling an Uber to her mom. Well, she shows us. I'm like, Okay, perfect. Then it says 13 minutes away. I'm like, Are we all just going to sit here in silence for 13 minutes? And the guy's like, Do you want food? And Paige is like, No, thank you. And I'm just like, Oh, God, this is so awkward. So then Uber is not moving.
I made it 10 times more awkward than it needed to be. But I was also pissed.
Well, you were pissed. And then I Okay, I was scared. So then finally, your mom is like, Paige, let's just go to a Wawa. Yeah.
Which was like- So we go to a Wawa. Two seconds down the road. So I text the Uber driver. It was a girl, a saint of a woman. I text I'm the Uber driver and I go, I'm literally across the street at the Wawa. Can you pull in there? And she goes, Yep, no problem.
So the three of us- And I'm like, Are we sure a woman driver is the next best option?
So we get into the Wawa, the three of us, and the Uber is like- Well, we start having a meeting.
So all of us are whispering. We're like, Okay, what the fuck is going on? And we're whispering to each other like, Are you okay? What's happening? And then he comes in the Wawa, and Grace and I run into the bathroom. And then Grace and I are hiding in the bathroom.
And then he walks out, gets back into the car. And then at that point, our Uber is about to pull it.
Still doesn't get a coffee.
Still doesn't get a coffee. Still doesn't get a red Bull. It doesn't get an energy drink. Nothing. So Hannah and Grace come out, and they're like, What are we- You had to be Come out because we were scared. Yeah, I was like, Come. We have to go get our bags. And Hannah is like, What are we saying to the guy? And I go, Nothing. We're just saying we're getting- No, you go, I'll handle it.
I'll handle it.
I go, I'll talk. I'll talk.
I'll handle it. I go, Okay. So then Paige just walks first, and she just starts taking the stuff out of the car. And the guy's like, Are you okay? And she goes, Yeah. And she just starts taking it out of the car, walks out. So then I'm left standing with him, and he's like, What's going on? I go, Our friend's picking us up.
Then he goes, Okay, I'll wait for your friend to come.
I was like, It's okay. But this is 1 AM at Wawa in the middle of nowhere. Us three beautiful women, four beautiful women, just helpless on the corner.
All I could think in my head is no fucking way is my legacy stopping at dead in Atlantic City, age 31. I refuse. There's just no way that's where my journey ends.
But no, we were in a death trap. But then our people-pleasing was, We're going to stay in that death trap because we didn't want to make this guy uncomfortable. But then part of me was like, Is he falling asleep? Or was he just drunk or high or really bad at driving? And then at one point, you were like, Do I have to drive?
I'll tell him I'll drive. That was my first thought. I was going to say, Hey, why don't you pull? I was going to say, Is this your car or the company's car? Because why don't you pull over and I'll just drive the next 45 minutes? But then I didn't want him... I didn't want to say that and him be like, No, what are you talking about? And let's get into a kerfuffle. I was like, You know what? Path of least resistance. I'm getting a car, making it sure that it's right here, then we're leaving.
My favorite is how the whole time I was like, This is so awkward. Then I was the last person to speak to him and explain what was going on? And I go, Look, our friend just randomly said, Hey, I'm going to meet you at Wawa at this stop in New Jersey.
Well, first of all, no is a complete sentence. He didn't need to know where we were going or what was going on. That's not what he was there for. He also didn't help us get the stuff out of the car.
That was so weird to me. Anyway, it was fucking weird. But then this lady came, an angel.
An angel sent from Earth took us the next 45 minutes to the Hard Rock Casino. We yapped the entire way there about how we almost got killed. But honestly, Hannah, what an amazing societal teaching moment, because all of those nerves about saying something to him is literally because you don't ever want to make a man feel like you're accusing them or saying something. But what was the alternative? We died in a fucking car accident. I couldn't let it happen.
Do you know what helped me? You know what helped me? Well, it didn't help me, but I saw a video that hopefully will help someone else, is clearly they don't care that they're making you uncomfortable. Why are you caring that you're making them uncomfortable? I think we could use this also in your early 20s when you're with a dude and he's making you uncomfortable in whatever type of way, and you're like, Well, I don't want to make him upset, or an older guy who's saying weird stuff to you, and you're like, Well, I don't... He's making you uncomfortable. It's like when a crazy person comes up to you on the street, be crazy back.
No, all I could think was in the next second, something's going to happen, and I'm going to be like, Why the fuck didn't I say something and get us out of this situation?
No, you were the champion. Who knew? You know why you did it? Because you were the only one on beta blocker.
I was the only one who had a body calm. I was like, I can handle this. I was like, My blood pressure is a perfect 85.
No, you saved our lives. Look, tour life is not boring.
No. That's one thing. It's not boring. They could literally never a dull moment. Then we get to our hotel at 1:00 AM.
It was like 1:30.
It's just so Atlantic City. It's just the vibes and all of it.
Casinos are fun because they're for older people who hate their children but want to go to Disney worlds.
No, I just kept thinking about what was Atlantic City like in the '50s and '60s?
I do think it was out of season. Speaking of seasons, there's this podcast called Two Dykes and a Mic. Okay. That came across my algorithm. They said something very interesting and funny. They said, Summer is for gay men.
Yeah.
Fall is for lesbians, and then winter is for straight women. Then, Christmas and stuff. I don't know if they finished it, but I guess then straight men is spring. It was interesting how we all got a season.
That is interesting.
B bisexuals get everything, I guess.
Can I tell you something to even further prove your point? For whatever reason, I think it's because it's my first holiday season in my new apartment, I've been ordering Christmas decoration, Can't Stop. I'm never a Christmas person. I want to decorate. I want to do all these things. Can't find the right garland, driving me nuts.
Babe, it's not even Halloween yet.
I know. Well, I already have my pumpkin out.
So I'm over that. We're on to the next thing. I'm on to the next thing. We're on to the next thing. Also, people have been asking, we are dressing up for our Seattle show.
We are dressing up.
So if you don't dress up, you won't be stoned or anything. But if you do dress up, we are supporting you.
Someone did email me. Someone did DM me and ask if there was a theme. No theme. Hannah and I were going to do a together one, but now we're being individualists.
Yeah, we're being individualists. Also, another side note about TikTok. I don't know if it's just because I spent the last two days scrolling my mental health. But the algorithm, my algorithm is so bad right now. First of all, the boys dancing. Have you seen that thing where the guys go, I can't do this for your daughter. I love your daughter. I can do this. And then they dance. No. All I know is if you watch one thing right now with TikTok, it thinks you're obsessed with it. And then we'll show you 40 of the same videos, the Gracie Abram song, which I love, but it's a sad song, and I don't like sad songs. It's being stuck in my head. I think it subconsciously is bad for you. Everything is this Gracie Abram song. And then I am obsessed with the Monenda's Brothers right now, but it's the only three things on my feed. And it's driving me up the wall because I know that there's other things on TikTok that I would enjoy. Yeah. Does that happen to you? You have the same shit.
A little bit, yeah. Where I find myself scrolling out of the TikTok app a lot more than I usually do, where I'm like, Okay, I'm over TikTok.
I guess you can say not interested in stuff, but that's not the whole point of an algorithm. But long story short, I am enthralled by the Milindas Brothers, and in November, they might be released.
Did you watch the Netflix actual document? You did. I might watch it tonight. Is it really good?
Yes, which I highly recommend. I highly recommend people watch. And it still didn't have all the information because I got even more from TikTok. But the Ryan Murphy one is cute. It doesn't represent really things accurately at all. It scratches the surface. First of all, it makes me so upset for these men, but basically, they said that in the jury, all the men said the guys were guilty, and then all the women said the guys were It was manslaughter, which means that it was murder, but there was a reason behind it of defense. But it wasn't premeditated. Well, it was premeditated, but there was a reason behind it, and they were feared for their life. They were fearful for their life. It's because the women were able to empathize with abuse, where the men... Sexual abuse was not a thing for men in the '90s.
Which is just...
The church and all that stuff came out later, but it was the timing. And because OJ was not guilty, the DA was like, We cannot let another rich person get away. In the next... Sorry, I don't know how to use words with law stuff. See you in court. I'd be the worst lawyer ever. But the next trial that That they basically weren't able to show the abuse portion because the judge said that abuse was purely a woman's thing. And then people were like, Okay, why did he kill the mom? Why did he kill the mom? You should never kill anyone. I'm saying that right now. You should never kill anyone. But it did come out that Lia was getting sexually abused by the mom.
See, that's not in the show.
No, no.
Okay, you know what? It was a whole thing. You know what? I actually I would have killed those people so long. That's disgusting.
Yeah, this is my thing, too. And it's obviously, you should not kill people, and they needed to go to jail because that was insane. But they were saying that The men, the lawyer said that these boys, she could tell they were horribly abused because they actually did well in prison because they had some structure and they weren't getting abused, and they actually enjoyed having a place of safety. No.
I'm getting my period next week, and I'm crying. That makes me so sad for them. No, I know.
And then all these men that will say, Oh, you don't fucking kill your parents, whatever. It's like, Yeah, but then if you tell that man, someone touched your daughter, they'd be like, I'll fucking kill that guy. No. That's what they did. They had this macho, and their brains were fully formed, and they thought that was the best solution, which is not. Killing is never the right solution. No.
If you abused my child or did something to my family member, I'm killing you. I don't give a fuck. If you touched my child, oh, my God, I would literally shoot you in the face and call the police on myself.
So it's very Very interesting. And at the least, it could do could spread awareness to boys get abused, too. And I'm deep in it right now. I'm so upset about it. And also, they kept calling the fucking lawyer crazy, which, mind you, Whenever you look back to a story with a girl that they were calling crazy, this bitch is always right. She's always ahead of her time.
Yeah.
And that's just history. That's her story.
No, it's... Oh, my God. Okay, I'm glad you watched that because I was... I highly recommend it. I was debating if I was going to watch it or not, or if it was just going to be a repeat of everything I've pretty much...
No, I think it's good, but you'll be deeply entrenched, and you'll keep having dreams about it, and your TikTok will blow up with it.

There are certain tops where you literally can't go outside if you're not wearing a bra, and it has to be comfortable. Honeylove has revolutionized the wireless bra game. Their bras feature supportive bonding that eliminates the need for uncomfortable wires and unnecessary bulk.

Centra. Live every day. Enjoy alcohol sensibly. Okay, speaking of dreams. So last night, I am in bed. I'm sleeping. It's about... I would say it's like 4:30. I wake up, but I don't wake up where my eyes are open. I wake up like I'm not asleep anymore, but I'm turning my pillow, and in my head, I'm like, I have to pee, but not enough to get up and go pee. I'm like, Oh, I'll catch that pee on the next wake up. I'm good. I really don't even think about it. I think about it for a second, then I fall back asleep. At 7:00 AM, I I don't even know. I just wake up, and I feel my pants, and I just touch my pants, and I'm like, Oh, my God. Did I pee my pants? And I look over because Craig was at my apartment, and I look over, and he's not in the bed. And I'm like, What's going on? And I jump up out of bed. I run to my bathroom. I peed. I had a pair of sweat pants on. Thank God. I peed so much in my sweat pants. I go back to my bed to see if I peed in the bed.
Nothing's in the bed. Craig comes back into my room. I'm like, Where were you? He was like, Oh, I just went pee in the other bathroom. And he was like, What are you doing up? And I was like, I peed my pants. And he was like, What the fuck are you talking about? And I was like, I don't know. I peed my pants. So then I don't know how it I don't know what happened. And so then a couple hours later, I feel like I'm getting a UTI. And so I don't know. Usually when my immune system's down, I feel like that's when I get UTIs. I don't know if I was just so tired or if my bladder was getting weak because I was getting UTI and I just peed.
Well, don't UTIs give this intense feeling like you have to pee?
Yeah. I wonder if I had it and my body was just like, No, we got to get it out.
First of all, we got some crazy text from you today. It starts off with, I have to do a virtual recording tonight. I have a raging UTI. I have to go to urgent care. I wrote, Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Then you go, I peed the bed last night. I don't want to talk about it until the pod. And then I didn't respond to that. I think I was like, She's just trying to get out of the pod.
Just burying my soul here. I'm like, Something's going on. And you know me, I'm so deep in Grey's Anatomy right now that I'm like, Do I have a brain tumor? And that's why I couldn't wake up to go pee.
That tumor on your spine that you've been telling every Uber driver about.
Don't bring up my tumor.
Is that why when I asked you if Daphne is okay, you were like, Daphne is fine.
Mama is not okay. Daphne is fine, yeah. I'm the one that's having... I'm the one that keeps going to the bathroom in the bed this week. I'm the one that can't figure it out.
Anyway. Wait, so how's your UTI? Did you go to urgent care?
I had extra pills, so I just took those, and hopefully, it goes a lot. But that's what I always... Okay, this is like, You should not do what I do. Then this is my problem. Then I don't finish the prescription because my symptoms went away. I'm good. I took four pills, and then it comes back a month later. That's my own thing.
Oh, okay.
So you're like, Are you peeing after sex? I always have extra pills.
Are you peeing after sex?
Well, that's the thing.
You have one job.
Because here's the thing. Okay, but you know what? It's a little bit more complicated than the girls talk about. What happens when you pee before sex and then you have sex and you're like, I got to pee, but I'm like, I got no liquids in me. So you pee a little bit of a trickle. Is that doing the job? I don't know. I was like, trickling all weekend, and then bam. It is true.
You don't have sex having to pee, and you can't have to pee before.
No, I I can't have sex when I have to pay.
Poop? Fine. No.
Wait, okay, wait. I made Craig so uncomfortable the other day. I literally couldn't wait to tell you about this conversation. This is such a TMI conversation, but it's such a combo with like, girlfriends, I feel like. So remember the one time when you farted when British Dave went down on you? I think about it all the time. I think about it all the time because It's like everyone feels that. At some point, you're like, Oh, my God, if I farted right now, it would be the worst possible time ever.
I feel like I never have to fart until the worst possible times. The second I'm in doggy, I'm like, I have to fart.
It's so embarrassing. So I brought it up to Craig. I was like, Do you ever feel like you have to fart when you are about to have sex? And he was just like, I don't think I've ever felt that ever in my life. And I was like, Now, when it happens, after we have sex, I have to tell him. I'm like, There was a moment where I felt like...
Are you at that point in your relationship that... No, you'll never get there, where you'll fart to be cute and funny?
Never. I'll never get there.
See, Every now and then, comedically, timing-wise, I'll throw it in. But I have farted because I wanted the guy to break up with me.
Okay, I'm going to say something controversial. Farting, I would say, is It's universally funny. Everyone can laugh at an untimely fart noise. It's never been on the top of my comedy list. I can appreciate it because I can get it, but I've never been in a situation where I'm a great time to fart right now would really bring the joke full circle.
You know what to really bring this home. Do you know what this conversation needs? I hate farting. In front... I actually would prefer farting in front of my husband than my friends. I really don't want to fart in front of my friends. If it smells, I feel so bad. I'm like, You can unfriend me. That was horribly fucked up of me.
I don't want it. Okay, but I don't think I'm in that category because I feel like if you're around me and you have to fart, you have no problem letting it out. You're like, My stomach hurts. Yes, but I don't- You're like a little... You try and keep it a little bit quiet, but you're not farting loud, But Nana is going to hate this episode.
My thing is my rule with farting with men is if they fart, you then have about 20 seconds where you can respond with a fart, and it doesn't count.
Okay. I don't subscribe to that.
That's feminism. That's equal opportunity.
If he farts and he thinks it's so funny, I like to, if I have one that I've been holding, let it out.
Then if he gets upset, I go, and that is called sexism. And that is double standards.
We're just making men pull over from the road because they can't drive and then farting on them. So we truly are a feminist podcast. We're like, You know what? You've lost a privilege.
Speaking When you have dating drama, I want your opinion because the internet is divided about Kayla, the girl who dated Travis Kelsey. She went on Angel Rees' pod.
Yes.
And Angel Rees said, Tell me the craziest thing you've ever done. And Kayla responded and said, A guy broke up with me or he left me for someone who was famous. So for Halloween, I dressed up as that famous person. So then immediately everyone's like, Okay, we did one Google. It's Tiana Taylor. And then Tiana Taylor posted some long rant about it. I saw that. So this is my question to you. There's a couple of sides of it. One, are Is it like, I don't get why that's crazy. I don't get the point. Who won out of that, you dressing up as her? Is it giving fan behavior? What are you stalking her? I don't know what that was. Are you trying to have a three-sum with that? I don't know. Two, is it accurate? Because she's giving a crazy story. It's like it is a funny, crazy story. She's given the T. She showed up to the pot and she's given the info.
I've been waiting for anyone to ask me this question.
I shouldn't shame her. Yes. Let me be not relatable, but entertaining. Or three, Tiana jumping into it. It's like, what's going on? Who is driving the Uber right now. Who is in charge of the truck?
What did Tiana say? Was it the guy... Is it the guy that she has children with? Did she end up going on to have a.
Yes, but she's not with him anymore. Iman Shumpert from the Knicks.
Okay. Okay. If she had gone on to date him and then they broke up, I would expect a certain type of response. Her then going on and having children with this man and now being broken up with him. First of all, I think she should have stayed silent through the whole thing. I don't think she needs to do a response at all. For sure. What is the girl's name that went on Angel Rees' podcast?
Kayla.
Okay. As a listener, I think that's fucking hilarious.
That's great. I'm laughing. I'm not thinking about it.
Would I I ever do that? Absolutely not. But the fact that she did that, I think that's hilarious. Also, if I'm Tiana while they're dating, I'm being like, She's obsessed with me. But also, that is funny.
I'm trying to think. You know what I think it was? Because look, I guess she was not in her right mind because she was upset, and she wanted to let him know. That's not the... I know.
Also, I'm a girl, okay? I've been surrounded by girls. That is not the craziest thing I've ever fucking heard. Is it unique? Have I never heard that response before? Absolutely. But is it that crazy?
I would argue it's a compliment.
I would argue.
That's what I wasn't understanding. I don't think it was crazy. It's all these friends. It's giving you telling him you have good taste, and I like her outfits, and I'm a dress officer.
It's like, I'm a fan. I'm going to stay a fan. Have fun with him, sis. That's what I was getting.
That's why when Tiana was mad, I was like, I think we're all getting mad at the wrong people. I think she likes you.
I feel like she should have just said nothing.
I'm trying to think. If a guy was in a situationship, left her, starts dating me, And then she dresses up as a girl who doesn't brush her hair and wears jorts, I'd be like, That's just funny. I'm like, That's funny.
That's hilarious.
So anyway, I didn't know how to feel from the situation because there were so many moving pieces. But let people tell stories on podcasts.
No, people were getting so mad. See, that's why people get so censored then, because it's like, Okay, sorry, I was being myself, and you hate it. And it's also like, If I'm not myself, you hate it. So Who cares? She didn't... No one got hurt in her dressing up. No one got their feelings hurt in her dressing up. No one...
Thank you. At the end of the day, did anyone get hurt? Arguably, I think the problem was she was trying hurt someone, but everyone was like, That outfit looks great. You clearly like Tiana, and I don't know if he noticed the photo.
No, I think it's fucking hilarious. Also, I'm for girls being crazy. He wronged you? You want to do something crazy where no one gets hurt? Have at it. No one gets hurt or arrested? Pop off.
I'm going to say something about nagging. Okay. I saw a TikTok about this in between all my Monenda's algorithms. Someone basically was like, You're She's lucky if your girl is nagging you because it means she still cares. The second she stops nagging you means you're fucking done. And she's not nagging you, by the way. They're warnings. If she starts nagging you... I remember once I told this guy I was dating early on. I said, Look, you don't have a job right now. That's fine. We all lose our job. But in six months, if you still don't have a job, I'm not going to wait here. And he looked at me. He thought I was kidding. Three months in, I said, How's the resume going? You could say I'm naggy. Bitch, I'm just warning you because if I ask you thrice, if I ask you thrice, you're not going to hear from me again. And he did, Thrice?
I love it. I love it. Don't make me ask thrice.
Don't make me ask thrice. Because I don't think you want to be in a relationship where you have to nag a guy. No. But to the three guys listening who are straight, If your girl starts to nag you, you best listen up.
Look, here's the other thing. If you are in a heterosexual relationship and you are the woman- We're sorry. It's just science that when you start dating that person, you have to make them a little bit better because you're already so much better than them. So it would actually be mean if you didn't make them a little better right from the jump.
I do have to say the second I stopped caring, it's so sad. It's so sad.
If you see Craig wearing flip flops with jeans in the future, I've stopped caring, and you should check on that man.
Well, I think he listened to you.
Yeah, 100 %.
So he loves that you push him to be better.
Let's all remember that when Summer House comes out this year. If you think I'm mean to Craig, it's because I care.

Centra. Live every day. Enjoy alcohol sensibly. I spent the entire day on Sunday at Central Park.
Oh, you're not doing well. No, wait. I'm worried.
No, reinforcements need to go over.
Wait, were you with Craig?
I was like, I... Well, earlier in the week, I was like, Sunday, I really want to go to Central Park and walk around and do a good walk and maybe go to lunch. And he was like, Oh, my God. I've literally waited for three years for you to ask me to do anything. A cute like that. And my brother was in town. And so me and Craig walked to the park. We did a big long walk. I got a hot dog. I got a stomach ache, obviously, immediately after.
I got a stomach ache and a hot dog, two for one.
I was like, I have to run home.
It was so nice.
I've lived in New York for 10 years. I think I've... This is disgusting. I think I've been to Central Park five times.
Well, now you live close to it. I mean, not to be all New York City kid, but I went to school on the Upper West Side, and after school, we'd go to Columbus Circle, and we'd hang out and just hang out at the park and talk shit, like picnic at the park.
No, I felt so productive. I will say it was really nice today, so it was a little bit crowded, but I felt so healthy and I needed to connect with Earth. The sun was beautiful. I wore ballet flats so that I could feel the ground.
Okay. People were freaking out over you showing up to the National's Baseball Stadium for a batting and throwing clinic in Kitten Heels. When you were distinctly told, Whatever you do, whatever you do, please wear sneakers. In my head, I go, She wore sneakers on the plane. She has sneakers.
It didn't say wear sneakers. It said, Don't wear any heels that could puncture the ground. I was wearing ballet flats, okay? I was wearing a little slingback ballet They were perfect for the occasion. I really needed to make that Victoria Beckham crop trench work, and it only worked with a ballet flat.
I thought I had the perfect outfit for that. You did. The people loved it. Grace posted it on our grid. I've never been so entertained by the giggler's comments. It was so funny, but it reminded me when people were like, when you've realized you've never seen your best friend full-out run. Which is funny because I feel like when you're younger, all you do is run around with your friends. All you're doing is running. When you're drunk, I run. Yeah, it's just we're running. We have to run. Even in high school.
And then when you're adults- Even in high school, you're running because you're like, Oh, I have gym with her. Yeah, we're running. Yeah, you're running. But once you're in college, maybe even a little in college because you get drunk and you run around and do things. But post-college, you're not seeing your friends run.
No. That means you're getting robbed if you're running. But my favorite part was the whole time I was trying to explain to them that you're a prodigy. You just refuse to lean in to your sport skills. She just has very natural good hand-eye coordination. Anyway, she'll hit three balls, and then she's like, I'm done. They couldn't get me off the batting range. Couldn't get you off of that. They were like, You have a show tonight. I was loving it. I was in my element, ball is life.
At one point, you I said to the guy, you were batting, and there was maybe 30 baseballs in the box that he was pulling out. You had already done 5-7, and you go, No problem. I'll finish the box. And I was like, Oh, what? I was like, That's insane. You're like, I'll finish the balls in there. I was like, Okay.
There are these hilarious videos going around also on my TikTok algorithm. Can you tell this is what I did all weekend? But it's this guy making fun of parents who are taking it too seriously. And they're like, Throw the fucking ball, Jerome. No. And one thing I'm going to say is that Lana Gaelic squad, I'm not going to be that parent. And it was making me laugh so hard. And Dez is like, I think you're laughing hard because that's going to be you. Because that's going to be you. I'm going to be overly nice.
Okay. You know what?
They're going to walk off and I said, Did you have fun? Did you have fun making mom disappointed?
Because you were such a good athlete and you played for so many years, I actually do feel like you will be that parent where you'll be like, as long as you had fun and you didn't get hurt because you know what it's like to be an athlete, where I feel like I'm different because I've never done sports like that. But I am very competitive.
So you won't have empathy for them.
I fear that I'm going to be the one on the sideline. Like, move your fucking feet. Move your feet.
Yeah. Be like, you have one job. It's to pee after sex and to make contact with the ball. Girls knew you learned that at a young age. We had fun playing sports. We had fun on the road. Dc was amazing.
We had so much fun on the road. I loved our outfits. This leg of the tour. I was very into them. I felt very stately.
You're very what?
Stately in my outfits.
Yes, we're obsessed with matching what the stereotype of the state is in our head.
Yeah. I was Obviously, I have to wear a collar. This is a fancy place.
One other thing about dating. So everyone was sending me the Sex Lives of College Girls. Have you watched that?
I have.
Do you watch that? So the new season came out. Oh, it did? Or the new trailer. The new trailer is out. And everyone's sending it to me. I'm like, Why are they sending me this? The whole trailer is about the girl saying she fucked the mascot.
Hannah, did Mindy Kaling listen to Giggly Squad and just like...
Is Mindy a giggler? Or is everyone fucking mascots now? Because it wasn't cool back in the day when I did it.
It certainly wasn't. Okay, but meeting the National's mascot, I got the vibe that you were talking about, especially in college. It is low-key, a famous person.
I have to... Well, first, no, they're literally famous. People go more nuts over Bucky than the They're like, It's fucking Bucky. Also, I did some research, and I'm pretty sure both of the mascots were girls.
Okay. I was thinking about that because I felt like inside their suits, they were short.
And their energy was a little too good.
Yeah. They were too nice. Yeah. These are girls.
Anyway, Sex Lives of College Girls. If you knew that I have a lot of experience in this, I would have loved to help write or tag up the scene.
They should have called the professional who knew what she was talking about. It's limited to In Sex Life of College Girls. It's like, Hello, we've done this before.
Hello.
We're here. We can hear you. We're here to help.
Question from the gigglers. Are we wearing barrel jeans?
Barrel leg jeans? Okay, that's an amazing question. Thank you for bringing it to the forefront. I was definitely a little... When When they first came out, I was like, This is a trend. I don't think you need to spend money on them. I don't think you're going to be wearing them. They're not going to be your go-to jeans, but I actually don't hate them with a ballet flat.
What's the benefit of the shape of a barrel jean besides the fact that it's a barrel jean? Does it make your legs look longer?
No, it definitely doesn't make you look longer. If you're short and you If you have short legs, it's only going to, I feel, emphasize that.
It's going to... Yeah. So besides feeling like an oompa loompa, what is the benefit of a barrel gene?
I don't think that there are any.
Are booties back?
Booties?
Like, booty boots. Like, boots that go up to your ankle. Okay.
I don't think they are. No, not with anything that you can see them. I have a couple of booties, but I wear them with jeans, and you're not seeing that they're booties. But with a mini skirt or a dress? No, no, no, no. No.
What about if you're wearing a Capri, and you want people to see the your ankle. Because that's pointed Capri. But you don't want to wear a ballet flat.
You have to wear... What do you wear? You have to wear a pump. You have to wear a heel.
Oh, God. I'm stressed out.
Or I guess... No, you have to wear a flat or you have to wear a heel. You're not wearing a booty with a Capri that's- Can you wear a dead sneaker with a Capri? Yeah. You can wear a sneaker with a flared Capri jean. But that's, again, if you're short and you have short legs, it's also only going to emphasize that.
Okay. Just come for me. I feel like flair jeans are back.
You're tall, though. You're tall. So you My entire body is my torso. That's why you need to wear a higher... I know you love low-rise because you're Gen Z, but your body type, actually, if you want to go buy it, if you wore a higher waist pant, it wouldn't feel as disproportionate as you feel it is.
I'm loving these good American high-waisted Flair jeans or Flair jeans back.
Yeah, you can wear a Flair. Yeah, for sure. A bootcut, a flair.
Okay, I think I'm going to wear I have one tonight.
Okay, whoa. That was a good... I loved that little rapid fire.
No, well, look, we need to know what's going on with fashion, and you keep us honest. I really tried. And it's quick and easy. And I'm just asking the questions we all need to know the answer to.
I actually just got my first pair of barrel jeans. I haven't even tried them on yet.
We're doing Today's Show. Somehow we got invited back. What are you going to wear?
I'm going to wear this little butter yellow blazer dress, I think, even I could wear something a little more foley, but I haven't worn it and I like it. I think I'll do an ivory boot with it.
Okay, fun. I don't know if I'm obsessed with what I have, but we'll see.
You know what I realized recently? I need to fall back in love with putting outfits together because I feel like for the past two years of my life, I've been having to get outfits because I need an outfit to do things, where a couple of years ago, the fun of getting an outfit was because I'm like, Oh, my God, I'm going to this new club Saturday night, and out to dinner, I need to pick out a fun outfit. And I need to get back to- It's become work. It's become work, and I need to get back to I love picking out outfits. The love of the game. And being on tour, I was picking out outfits for this past weekend, and I was like, I miss this shit.
But also, you loved it for a reason. It's because you're good at it. And then it's been spiraling. I also think over the last These two years, you have so many eyes on you. So you not only it's work, but you're also getting judged for the work. And then you actually forget the whole reason you like it, which is to be creative and put your taste on things.
No. For the past, I would say four to five months, I think I've been depressed and anxious for a while. But anywho, for the best four to five months, I've been like, Oh, I don't know what's in style. I don't know how to put an outfit together. Did I lose my touch?
Someone needs to guide the Yeah.
I had a moment where I was like, Have I lost my touch? Do I not? No. And it's like, No, I haven't been appreciating it the way- You stopped caring for a second. Yeah, the way I appreciated it. And I love clothes.
Oh, my God.
You You guys. I can feel my personality coming back.
Paige is feeling better. Okay, because we all were worried.
We all were worried. No, we were worried. Beta blockers have been helping me fucking thrive on tour. I can't say enough good things.
But I do have to say, obviously, we do not want the gigglers snorting beta blockers every day. What else do you think has helped you?
That was an attack. That was so...
No, you said you I'm not walking.
Oh, my God. I just felt like you were my therapist. Like, Okay, Paige, but what other coping mechanisms that are healthy have you done?
I don't love promoting drug addiction on the bottom.
No, I've been trying to... Here's Here's the thing I think that's really hard.
You go, I have so much beta block in me right now. I could bash my head through a wall.
Here's the thing I think that's another added to the fucking list on how hard it is to be a woman. You go through phases where you're like, I'm so healthy, and you're in a routine, and you are working out. You're like, I worked out two times this week. That's good. I worked out three times this week, sometimes four. You can get into all these random routines. It's when you go cold turkey and you do nothing. And then now I feel like I'm at the age where it's not even about, yeah, obviously, I want to look hot. I always want to fucking look good and feel good in my clothes. But now I'm like, if I don't move, my brain is going right down in the dumps. So that's a weird mind fuck, but it has made it, I think, a little bit easier for every single day for me to be like, okay, if I at least stretch my fucking body today and walk to my errands rather than take an Uber, that's better than nothing. I have been trying to go outside, walk in the sunlight for at least even if it's 10 minutes to whatever.
People also will be like, You're working so hard. Take a break. And first of all, I work so hard because when I'm working, I'm actually my happiest. It's when I'm not working that the demons will start trying to speak to me, and I'm like, Text me. But then they tell you, Okay, you have to take a break. You've been working so hard, which is so valid, but When everything stops that it sucks.
I'm like, What am I doing with my life?
But you want to relax. But then you're fighting the, Should I be relaxing? Should I not be relaxing? Anyway, it's really hard to exist on this planet.
I mean, I don't even know how people do it because we don't even have children yet. But what is the fucking guilt when you sit on the couch and you're like, Okay, I'm going to relax, and then in your head, you're like, But if I wasn't relaxing, I could be getting done this, this, and this. That's not even on my to-do list, but it would alleviate other things. I could be doing extra stuff. That guilt is debilitating as well.
It's funny you brought up kids because I think what we're talking about is also the reason people do have kids. Because it was Sunday. I went to yoga. I felt amazing. I was feeling myself. I was like, call my mom. I'm the epitome of health and wellness. No, we're on that fitness kick. I settled down. And then four hours into the day, I'm spiraling. I'm spiraling. I'm spiraling. And then I realized when you're of our age, sometimes it's like, I can have a kid Because I can worry about something else besides the repetitive, boring thoughts in my own brain about myself.
Hannah, no one's more sick of me than me. Than me. I am done with me.
And not to go full circle, not to go full circle. But that's why Kim, what she noticed about us is so nice, because it's like, I don't want to fucking be with someone all the time who's just like me. In certain ways, yes, because it makes us compatible. But I want someone who brings different thoughts and silliness to the table. Right.
Right.
So long story short, I think that's why people have kids and people have friends. And people say having community is the most important thing. And this is our mental health explosion at the end of the pod. But the problem with community Is community also causes drama in your life sometimes? No. And relationships can cause the most pain. So then it's like, okay, this is a multi-level marketing scheme. Why? And going outside cures your depression. But what happened outside is what caused the depression. What the fuck are we supposed to do?
It's a spiral. That's why you have to get a cat. They're not involved in the outside world. And it's still community.
They're your only safety, your best friend. No, you texted me the cuteest photo this morning of Daphné, and you have your heart. You have your purpose.
You have the love of your life. I love you.
And she feels connected to you because you both pee in the bed.
No, truly. We're sisters. We're soul sisters. You're Eskimo sister. Daphné, I get it. I must just be so anxious.
Well, I hope you don't pee again tonight. Me, too.
I don't think I will.
Because I don't want it to be a thing, even though that would be so funny if that became a thing. And then you have to go to a pee sleep doctor.
I have to go to a specialist. They have to watch me sleep.
You have to sleep on an Italian grandma's couch that has plastic on it.
To do sleep studies. I'm dying to do any type of sleep study.
That's our next blog, just us sleeping.
Hannah, please. We have to.
The way I would be so ready for a sleep study, I'd be like, This is where I perform my greatest. Beyond.
I just want them to tell me certain things that they've noticed. Yeah.
Yeah. Anyhow. Anyway, I feel like we started the pod very positive, and then we did spiral at the end. Enjoy your week. I'm not going to exist. No, I hope if you're having a down time, you feel less alone, and keep grinding, keep hustling in these streets. Keep giddling.
And we'll see you next week.
And if you're in Minneapolis, Madison, or Milwaukee, we're coming your way. Tickets are almost sold out. Grab them. We added a couple of shows, and we love you. Thanks for giddling. Bye. Giggling. Bye.
