Hi, it's Hannah Burner.
And Des Bishop.
Thanks for calling the burner phone.
If you leave a message after the tone, we may have to make it into a podcast.
Hi, my little dialers.
Tell him who it is.
It's Dez here.
No, it's Mom and Dad.
Oh, it's Mom and Dad.
We're in the car.
In the car, but not moving.
We are parked.
We're parked in Eisenhower Park.
In East Meadow, Long Island.
If you're near us, come say hi.
Because actually, last week we teased that, you know, there was this event with people that I grew up with.
But actually, so the reason we're in East Meadow is because Hannah said she wanted to come to, like, my neighborhood friends reunion, like the people that I grew up with.
So Hannah, today, you're going to meet.
Oh, and by the way, the reason we're parked in Eisenhower Park is because Hannah landed from Boston.
I picked her up at JFK.
and we're pulling in to record before going to this event in East Meadow.
You love giving logistics.
So you are going to meet the people that I literally had my first drink with ever.
These are the people that corrupted me.
Wow.
Yes.
I can't wait to ask a bazillion questions about you.
Yeah.
But this was all inspired, I think, by us talking on the pod about hanging out with each other's friends.
So when you were like, do you want to come by?
I was like, yes.
Yeah, you decided you wanted to.
So I gave you the option of a pickup from the...
I enticed you with a pickup from the airport.
You did.
And now you're going to meet all the gang.
And the crazy thing is that I was always the youngest of this gang.
So I'm going to be the baby.
Oh, you're the baby for sure.
But I feel like I'm going to feel closer to you after I leave this because I'm going to understand you more.
Well, you've met PJ.
I think PJ is the only one that you've met there, right?
Shout out PJ and he listens to the pod.
Yeah, and I had to give him a shout out last week because I had to make sure.
sure that people knew that he wasn't, but I don't think he'd listen to the last week because he
never brought it up. We'll find out today. We'll find out to, well, I'll confront him about it.
So anyway, that's, that's, so we're sitting in a parking lot and Eisenhower Park. You know,
we like to set the scene with you guys. We're recording it on the phone, actually. We don't normally
do video, but it's really set up nice in the car and it's good lighting. It's a cloudy day.
Yeah. So I'm very happy with the situation here. We also just went to a great diner.
Yeah. In Malvern, Long Island. Malvern, Long Island. Shout out.
represent. Met a giggler outside who was like, what are you doing in this
neighborhood? She didn't even say like, she was just like, why are you here?
She literally, she didn't even like, hey, I'm a big fan. She was like, why are you here?
How did you? What's going on? There is a crazy familiarity with the gigglers and you, though.
It's very funny. No, yeah, it's, sometimes they'll just ask me about something that happened
yesterday. They're like, how was, you know, whatever you did. And I'm not good. And they're like,
cool, I'll see you later. I'm like, see you later. Um, are you okay? No, I'm fine. You got to
Wedgy? No, I'm getting my wallet. My George Costanza wallet out of my pocket.
We went to old
Our Town. Our Town Grill. Shout out. It was cute. It was amazing. You guys know what passionate
I am about finding a good brunch spot. Start the day right with a cute brunch spot.
Start the day right with Our Town Grill. This is not an ad. That's what our pod is
sponsored by. Our Town Grill. And they did sing happy birthday to a lady next to us.
Yeah, but here's the thing.
They, it was in harmony.
They did a harmony.
Yeah.
Like that was next level shit.
You don't get that at a five-star restaurant.
That's what that's, and, you know, most likely Greek-owned diner.
They're a dying breed, but this place is going strong.
I do have to say, I think I burnt the top of my mouth of coffee and part of the top of my mouth, the skin is like hanging down and like hitting my tongue.
Oh, yeah.
So that's irritating me right now.
That's like you've had a bowl of Captain Crunch.
Yes, but besides.
violent
yeah that was the joke
and you end up
with stalactites
and stalact mites
yeah
um
we are doing an advice episode
and well because last week
we only got to a few
and there's so many left
I have to say
the listeners
love your advice does
what are you talking about
they find you very
were you in the Spotify comments
no
I'm you know I'm
you're in it
but I'm not
but they just
they love your sound advice
your logical advice
So where did you get this?
I just, I heard from, I heard this through the grapevine.
A birdie, a little birdie told me.
Right, okay.
And I just want to compliment you on that.
But I want to ask you a question for advice based on a pop culture moment this week.
Is this marriage advice?
Actually, yes.
If you're a husband.
How do you tell your husband?
That he needs to stop talking about his knee pain so much.
Okay, so this is what happened in pop culture.
Are you familiar with what happened with Justin Bieber and Haley Bieber?
Well, not specifically.
I mean, the last thing I saw about Justin Bieber was that they were accusing him
of being drunk and singing at a party.
So what is the news?
The newest news is Haley Bieber gets a cover on Vogue.
Okay.
Your best friend, Haley Biber.
My best C's on Vogue.
I knew she would.
I was like, yes, yes, represent.
present like that's my girl so he posts it and in a comment says hey I'm proud to you
I'm really sorry they didn't say it exactly but along the lines I'm really sorry about the time
that we got in a fight and I told you you'll never get a vote cover you um you proved me wrong
um congrats really he wrote that he wrote that and everyone was like
What?
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Then some girl had a hot take.
She was like...
Were you pointing it?
So for the record, dialers, Hannah pointed at me.
Was I supposed to know the next line?
No, I was impressed you knew one line.
What was the...
What were you pointed at me?
I was just an acknowledgement of like, well, that was a good...
Oh, right.
Hell yeah.
What present?
Okay.
Well, now we're on video, so you're...
Look, I'm Italian.
My hands are going to make moves, and I don't always...
I'm not connecting.
to the moves my hands are doing.
Okay.
It's my...
No, I thought you were, like, giving me, like, the next line.
Okay, is it too late to say sorry?
Because I...
What is the next?
Missing more than just to your body.
Oh, okay.
We love singing on this podcast.
Yes.
We love it.
Why don't you harmonize?
Because I don't know the next line.
Yeah, but you can harmonize.
Okay, so let's harmonize now with the first line.
Okay.
You go high, okay?
Is it too late now to say sorry?
I'm not.
I can't.
I can't go low.
Okay, I go low.
You go high.
Like Michelle Obama.
Was you sure that wasn't Marilyn Monroe?
I did that on Gigglers squad.
All the gigglers are just...
Somebody in the Spotify comments made of...
So what did you say?
All the gigglers are now doing the Maryland Monroe thing.
Started on burning fun.
All right.
Start on burning from.
So...
Started for the bottom.
Now we're here.
Do you have any advice?
In the public park in the Lowe.
Do you have any advice for Justin Bieber?
I don't have any advice for Justin Bieber.
You know, my advice would have been take your money and just get out of the public eye.
That would have been my advice to Justin Bieber.
Well, that's funny because a psychic actually said his life now is about, you know, getting away from the fame.
That's what he should do.
Yeah.
And I think does a psychic, so that's just proved me right.
But then someone said, I don't think it was like a mean thing.
I think he's just kind of like an artist that's not dumb, but like he's just told to express himself and no one's ever been like, hey, shut up.
And he's just like expressing himself.
Well, I think, honestly, if you want to know, I think he was trying to be funny, and it backfired.
I think he was trying to be funny.
If I, trying to be funny and cutesy, I have a hot take about marriage and relationships in general.
Hot take about marriage, okay.
And relationships in general.
How does hot take?
Fighting.
On Z-100.
Fighting is the most important thing in a relationship.
Really?
When I say fighting, I mean how you fight.
Oh, how you fight.
Is this a bit?
Is this the beginning of a bit?
No, but there is potential here
Okay
But basically that
So how do you fight
Once you cross a line
Once you call someone a certain name
Or once you say something really fucking mean
Then that's like
It's like a video game
Like that weapon is now your weapon
And he can bring in his weapon
And now it escalates
It's like a movie
Like once you show one tit
It's rated R now
Okay you can't be like no it's a G movie
So like when you're
fighting if you get to that point where you're like and you'll never fucking make it like once you
say that you can't take it back and then your fights will always kind of hit that place it's like
if you never call each other a name that you keep it like that yeah i honestly i really think
that he thought he was being funny and if he is truly if he is truly uh back on the booze which
it appears that he is uh i think that's just like yeah the crazy stupid shit you do
and you're drunk and you think you're being funny.
Yeah.
You know?
You don't get it.
But.
And you should not, when you're drunk, you know, you shouldn't be able to use your phone anyway.
But if you are one of the most famous people on the planet, then it is imperative that you do not have access to your phone when you're drunk, especially when you're famously sober because you've had substance abuse problems.
And you feel bad because Haley's trying to do her own thing, but all the press was just about him saying that.
I know.
But you know what?
And Diddy's on trial.
And there's a lot going on for poor Justin.
Oh, Justin.
No, because they're all connecting it to that.
Yes.
Yes.
It's a whole thing.
And then Talena got engaged.
Selena got engaged.
Yeah, and it's dark, man.
You know, poor Justin.
You know, because everyone's like, oh, poor Justin.
He's a multimillioner.
But the reality is that this kid has not really had control of his own life for a very
long time.
And it's fucked up.
Yep.
So leave Justin alone.
We're believers here.
We're believers.
We're believers.
And Justin alone.
But do you agree what I said about fighting in a relationship?
I mean, like, I just think that, like, when it escalates to that point,
it's not like you have license to go that far.
It's just it's a bad idea.
Yeah.
I mean, de-escalation is key.
Yeah.
Because my thing is, like, let's say, like, you call your, you finally are like,
you're a fucking loser.
Then that's going to come out all the time.
Because it's, like, it becomes, like, desensitized.
When you're at that level, like, it's bad, you know?
Yeah.
You know, if that's a consistent level of your fighting, like, there's some serious problems.
Yeah.
You know?
We've never escalated to that.
And I can have like a touch of a bad temper with the words.
But we've never escalated to that.
No.
You know?
No.
I'm a walk away, which at times can be passive aggressive, which I understand.
But I just think it can come across as passive aggressive.
But for me, it's more like a safety mechanism.
Yes.
Cool it a little.
Yeah, I know I'm going to be a fucking asshole.
And I know that I'm leaving this with her and that that's not kind of cool.
you know but at the same time it's like I think it's the lesser of two evils yes you know what I mean
yes and my dad was a walk away or two yes and my dad never drove so like sometimes they would start
like getting at you know getting at it in the car and then my dad would like stop the car
I'm getting out stop the car and then my dad would just get out never that far from home by the way
but just just he would walk home but then my mother would go into PTSD from her childhood
and she would drive us around
to try to find him
to local bars
because she would think
he was going to have
some sort of booze blowout
which of course he was never in a bar
but that was from my mother's childhood
I know sorry I didn't mean to make it dark
but I didn't bring up that they were dead
you just did
no
anyway
I did
I did have a friend
who had a significant other
who would like get
loud and stuff
and her whole thing, the friend group, we'd be like,
take a lap, take a lap, whenever we'd see
him get worked out, take a lap.
Yeah, that's what you need in a relationship.
You need everybody in a relationship,
and it's dual job, so it depends on who's in,
who's heated. One person has to become the coach.
And be like, hit the showers, 10 push-ups.
Like Connor and Georgie.
Oh.
When he got worked up and she said, it's okay.
Yeah.
It's okay.
Oh.
Because he didn't, he couldn't, he didn't know how to deal with the emotions.
He didn't know how to deal with the emotions.
That he was feeling.
I've never felt this way before.
Because he was, he was horny as fuck.
He was going to copepheal.
Yeah.
Wow.
If, if copper feel I should, then copper feel I shall.
So, okay, let's, uh, let's get the party started.
Let's get, let's get it started in here.
I got to start light since I took it dark.
You know?
Mm-hmm.
We love one of these.
My sister is dating a loser.
Sounds like a daily mail headline.
Hey, Hannah. Hey, Des.
Big fan of the show, Giggly Swat, too.
My question for you is, how do you help a friend, or in this case, my sister, get over a really crappy boyfriend.
She's in her early 30s.
She's been with this guy on and off since high school.
But they were fighting a lot recently, so she kicked him out.
But now she's trying to get back together with him, and I am trying to help her not do that.
She's literally so funny, so smart, so beautiful, successful, and he is a thumb of a man.
He gives nothing.
He brings nothing.
He spends all his paychecks at the strip club.
He's a loser.
But she's so scared to be alone, and she's, like, telling me, well, it's slim pickings out there, but I know she could do better.
So please, how do I help her?
solidify this breakup and find someone better than this guy.
Oh, that's a toughie, man.
But you know what?
It doesn't matter how strong, smart, beautiful you are.
Everyone has moments where they're like, but I'm afraid to be single.
I guess it hasn't gotten so bad with this guy that she hasn't realized
like she'd rather be alone than deal with his shit.
I know.
But some of the stuff I have said,
to people. I love the like, yeah, of course you haven't met someone new. You can't have a new
door open without closing a door and how like you're stuck in your comfort zone and like
the world is out there outside of your comfort zone. So I'm, and also I love a breakup. I love a
breakup. I always joke when girls, when they break up, they, they, they, you know, get a third
degree and then they like, they go into therapy and they get their hair done and they just like
elevate themselves. I always say that breaking up is like corporate America where you always get
a raise whenever you leave someone. Right. So like that's my mentality. But this girl is in deep
with this guy for over 10 years. Yeah. And sometimes it's like the pain, you're looking for
the painkiller. You know, you're looking for the oxy to take away to pain. But the problem is
it's temporary. And then the reasons why you left are coming back. The reason you wanted the oxy
Yeah, you're going to the source.
The reason why you left is coming back.
So you're just going to be delaying the inevitable or worse
that you never break free and you waste your life.
I also feel...
Especially if he's like in strip clubs all the time.
Yeah, I feel like she, for some reason,
he's convinced her that like he's the best she's going to get
and she has an altered perspective.
And sometimes I...
This is my little habit.
I like hooking people up
I think you take her out
I think you try to find
like you maybe
try to actively
find people who are available
just for her to see that like
you can flirt with other people
sometimes it takes just like
one fun night
like nothing even has to happen
but like you talk to one guy
and you're like
wait there's a world out here
that I've been like hiding from
yeah and you got you know you got to get her
to like give herself a chance
so like
you've got to get her to try to disconnect.
You should basically say to her, listen, you can get back with him in a month,
but can we please as an exercise, just do a month of no contact with him.
Like basically try to get her to the point where she can see the benefits of a life without him.
Because the problem is that once you connect, because there's love there.
There's history there.
Like once you connect, it's so hard not to get sucked back in.
I mean, how many of us have gotten back with people,
because we couldn't disconnect.
It's familiar.
And it's almost like an addiction at some point
where you're like, that's what I know.
You got to stay away.
You got to try to get her to have no contact for a while
because sometimes then you can get enough space
to get some freedom in your mind.
I wonder if that would work.
If you gave her the option, like, hey, you can get back with him.
Let's put that out there.
Get back with him.
But give me this one month.
One month.
No contact.
Where you cold turkey and we give it a chance.
And if it doesn't work, fuck me.
go do whatever you want
but maybe the universe
will start conspiring in her favor
to better things
but yet especially if he's this much of a loser
and the reason I'm passionate
going to strip clubs all the time
he's like listen
a lot of guys have gone to strip clubs once or twice
but if he's like a regular spending all his money
and strip club these guys are fucking loser man
grade A
the reason I'm passionate about this too is because
the partner you're with
is what you see all day
they put the world in perspective for
you. They're a mirror for you to see yourself.
He's really
holding her down if he sucks.
We need to get her out of it.
We need an extraction.
Yes. We need Dr. Pimple Popper.
Yeah.
I was trying to think of a good movie
reference for like, you know, we have to go in and get an
extraction. You know, like when the spies
are behind enemy lines.
Like in Fowder, but that's
gotten too political now. Yeah, we're getting
in the weeds. You know what I'm talking about.
Yes, I know what you're talking about.
so anyway
well we get her
tell it to listen to this
but also I do understand
that being you're like
you have this guy
it's almost like getting new therapist
like you know you have a therapist that you don't really like
but you're like I don't want to get a new therapist
and have to tell them about like all my problems
again and have to like start from scratch
but you don't realize that
that if you can get
through uncomfortableness
and hard things
the light is at the end of the tunnel
change and difficult
times always brings positives
in your life. Marlon Monroe said that.
Okay, Brené Brown.
All right. Good advice.
Thanks. Well, let us know how it goes.
Thanks. Do you ever find that the
most highs you ever have in life
is after like the shittiest times?
I mean, I guess.
Do you have an example?
I just find in my life because it's like
I feel like it's when you're the most
grateful when something good happens because you
survive something difficult and that's like
I'll snort that shit
All right, this is very
This is going to become a PSA
Because it's too late to help this person
Hi, Hannah Dez
Honestly, in this exact
moment, it'll be too late
When you hear this if you do
But I need to know if I should order
Uber Eats or not
It is 3.54 a.m. currently
And I don't know if that's too late
to order food
because I think I would order a full meal.
And I also don't know if it would classify as kind of like a drunk meal or also an early breakfast.
Mostly because I don't know if I would start my day after or rot in bed and marinate until the sunset tomorrow.
But yeah, my advice or I need advice from you, should I order Uber Eats or should I not?
maybe go to bed for dinner
or maybe order
a friggin
junior chicken from McDonald's
conflicted
now obviously we can't give advice
in this particular situation but I feel like this is a
dilemma that people encounter a lot
354 that's
fun because it's this thing
called
Dickfest
what?
Dinner breakfast
Oh really?
I just made that up
you made it up?
Yeah I actually did
regret ordering Uber Eats
after my show last night
I like you don't eat before the show
and then after the show you're hungry
and I was like fucking I'm gonna order
Uber Eats and I got like a
cheeseburger. What? But it took
like 40 minutes because you were in the middle of nowhere
So by the time it got to me like I already
I was like past the hunger stage I was tired
but then it was there so I'm like fucking I'm gonna eat it
and then I felt gross afterward and then I was like
cool cool cool
Yeah, I feel like in these situations with the Uber-Eats, as an expert, if you're going to do late-night Uber-Eats, you've got to order it when you're on your way home.
Yes.
Because once you're home, you really only have about a 15-minute window before it's too late.
Yes.
And then it's clearly better to go to sleep.
But I hate falling asleep, starving.
Well, that's the thing.
I always tell myself, I'm not going to fall asleep.
Well, if I'm hungry, I need some food to put me down.
Yeah, and so I think in this situation
Sometimes here's a life hack
But it's a waste of money
If you know that you want to order Uber Eats
You should trick yourself into thinking you're going to eat
Before you go to bed
And then order from a place that's really far away
So by the time it comes you'll be passed out
Just make sure you leave the instructions
Just leave outside door
And if you stay up late enough
Then it was meant to be
Yeah, and if you're still awake
Then it's like, okay, I guess I should have eaten this
Also I love that you said I'm an expert at Uber Eats
because it made me think I'm like,
I've definitely put 10,000 hours into Uber Eats at this point.
I'm an Uber Eats expert.
But if I'm that hungry and I feel like I need to eat,
then I try to order something semi-healthy,
but from a place that's in the under 30 minutes category.
But really, honestly, I feel like in that situation,
like a handful of almonds will do the trick.
Like a handful of almonds.
That doesn't hit the same.
No, but it will take away the earth.
You know, like, in other way there's like this,
I'm too fucking hungry to go to sleep.
Yes, yes.
A handful of almonds or like an apple or a banana.
Just something to just take away the edge and then just go to sleep.
You feel so much better in the morning.
What's annoying about me is some people will be like,
just have a couple bites and go to sleep.
I don't play that game.
If it's in front of me, I have to finish it.
Whereas some people that will be like,
is there another family reunion going on?
Or like a softball game?
One of the biggest parks in Long Island.
There's like any number of things happening here today.
There's so many cute families doing stuff.
Yes.
Oh my God, we should hang out here more often
Yeah, my brother used to play soccer here all the time
So sweet, like they're just going out to enjoy the sunlight
Yeah, or they're like
This kid's probably playing a game
Wow, you know
Cute
Yeah, anyway, it's a very important social amenity here
Public amenity here in the East Meadow, Long Island
Aminity? Aminity
Oh, do you say amenity?
Oh, do you say amenity?
Yeah
Oh yeah, in Ireland we say amenity
Petophile
Yeah, we say Pito
It's a fucking pito.
So,
anyway, I feel like this is similar to
this is a more dramatic thing.
But you know, in your single days,
where you're out and maybe you're drunk or not,
and you haven't met somebody,
and you get home and you think,
will I hit up my booty call,
which I know is not healthy for me,
whereas you can just,
for men, choke one out,
for women looking after herself and go to sleep
and then you wake up in the morning like thank fucking God
I didn't do that but then
sometimes you give in the problem is until
you do that it's so easy to give in
and you always feel gross after
you feel better if you don't do it
you know you feel better and then you're like
why the fuck am I in this situation
so honestly I think
really the best advice here is to try to trick yourself
and to go to sleep. The best advice here is to just
eat at try to eat at 7 p.m.
Yeah. Trunken eating is just like it's such a bad
idea you're never making the right decisions
yeah but then some people say you're less hungover if you get
something to soak up alcohol that's something maybe I lied to myself about
I'm like we need pizza or we're gonna be hung over and they're like to hydrate you're
gonna be hung over bedration is key but it's hard to hydraig isn't you gonna be
but you know sometimes people are drunk and like have some toast yeah well that's a
big thing listen I'm a fan of a bit of toast before you go to bed you know it's a nice
snack yeah well that you know what it is life is about balance life is about
balance and that's what marilla monroe said oh hannah um all right let's uh okay this is getting
serious you hate a callback and i hate a pun no i don't hate a callback you hate an overuse call
overuse of the callback okay i'll i'll wait i'm not i wasn't judging you though i just gave you an oh
hannah but i you know you do you you say you hate a pun did i tell you got you got did we
talk about that last week that you got called out about the puns yeah oh we talked about that already
you like puns you're just in denial you need to you need to accept the the pun now i'm like whispering
at because we're doing videos so now i'm like office singing office you admitted to me what
at our town grill is nothing sacred is nothing sacred in our relationship you have a pun in your
new show and it's getting a huge laugh except who you are hannah be one with the pun
Come on. It's not like you overly rely on puns.
People enjoy a pun every now and then.
Even if it's a groaner.
I think every show should have a groaner.
You know?
I do like a groaner.
Yeah.
So, okay, here we go.
Series.
Hi, Hannah and Des.
Love you guys.
How do I ask my boyfriend of eight years to just give me a ring already?
So basically, I have been asking for a ring.
for like over a couple years now
and he will only propose to me
when we buy a house but like I don't want a proposal
I literally just want you to present me with a shiny ring
and yeah
I also caught the bouquet at my best friend's wedding
so I mean come on
he's also from Brooklyn so he's hard-headed
all right love you bye
I don't want to propose to like buy a house
Just buy a fucking ring
Yeah
In this economy
It could be two life
It could be two lifetimes
Yeah buy a house
What?
In Brooklyn?
Get out of here
That is this is a recession indicator
Men just buy rings
That's all you're going to buy
That's all you need to buy
It sounds to me
If I'm thinking positively
That they're missing each other with priorities
Yes
Like he's trying to think a type of way
She's thinking a completely different way
and maybe if you try to explain it to him in a different way
I guess he feels like he can't put a down payment on a house
if he buys you a ring
which I understand
I get that
but you also are like I want to know
I don't want to waste time with you if I don't see this
also you could be like I'm not moving into that house
until I'm proposed so you guys are like the Spider-Man meme
you're both like oh yeah
eight years
But also, get a lab diamond.
Yeah, just get like a fucking...
A nice lab diamond.
Just get like a two or three G ring.
Beautiful.
They look gorgeous.
You know, and if you guys do better later on,
upgrade.
Tell them to get you a starter ring.
Get a starter ring.
Yeah, starter ring to save money for the starter home.
Exactly.
Also, there's other ones you could get that are affordable.
And it's, tell him it's less about the price.
It's more about the thought and the commitment.
Can you get it?
Labgrown diamond ring for three grand?
Or are we actually, that's not what she wants?
Cubic serconium.
Cubic serconia?
I don't know.
No, I just remember that from the whole shopping network
when we were kids.
Get a cubic serconia's.
That sounds like cubic serconia.
That sounds like...
Yeah, I feel like the lab groans are better
than the cubic zirconia's.
No, they definitely are.
Yeah, they definitely are.
But cubic serconia is fun to say.
It sounds like a Power Ranger villain.
Yeah.
Cubic serconia's back.
So, yeah.
honestly I don't have great advice for this
because this is like one of these things where it's like
you hope that he's not
you know
like procrastinating on the ring
you hope he's not blaming other shit
because he's afraid to give the commitment
but they've been together for eight years
but you also like
I personally have never been
the ultimatum type
I don't like feeling like
I ever had to force anyone to do
anything I want them to do it in their own
free will
But she just wants a ring
She doesn't even want the proposal
Get a sugar daddy
Yeah
Get someone else
To give you the ring
If I can
Do a bella check
Yeah do
Seeking arrangements
Seeking arrangements
And he'll be like
Where'd you get that ring
And it says
It's not your business
Yeah
No I mean
You didn't give it to me
I got it somewhere else
I actually feel a little
I feel
I feel like
I'm poor
I'm poor
Advising on this one
Why do you think so
because it's just I don't I wouldn't know what to do
we don't know his financial situation
we don't know the relationship we didn't get enough information
on this we can't tell do you want us to say break up with him
I don't think so no but don't tempt us
don't tempt me
because I'll cut a man out of your life
this is the cut podcast
oh right
snip snip snip

wow and you got very Brooklyn
you got inspired by the fact that this guy's from Brooklyn
you're from Brooklyn
Well, once the temperature starts rising, I realize I need some new stuff for the summer.
So I gave my daily uniform an upgrade with quince.

They work directly with top artisans and cut out the middlemen to give you luxury without the markup.
And they only work with factories that have safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices and premium fabrics and finishes.
My closet needed a summer glow up, and I'm obsessed with all their linen shorts, their cute
tanks, and I always wear summer dresses from them. I love summer dresses because that's the
outfit. That's it. You don't have to pick a top and a bottom and mix it all up. No.
One flowy dress, a beautiful color, I'm obsessed. My mom also loves quince, Des loves quince,
and my nana loves quince. So treat your closet to a little summer glow up with quince. Go

do you want one that might trigger you sure all right hi mom and dad love the pot cheers from
amsterdam and this one's especially for you so i'm 28 and i quit my career as a professional
athletes two years ago and i also quit my master's degree in psychology however um it's
been just so hard to move on from that. And Hannah, I'm just so curious as to know how you moved
on from quitting tennis and how you found your passion again. Right now, I'm considering maybe
going on a working holiday visa to Australia to just see. But honestly, it just feels like I'm
just fucking around in life and not really getting anywhere. So any help is much appreciated.
I love you.
I really, really love this question.
It's funny, I was talking to my friend yesterday about it
because she doesn't know a lot about sports
and she was just like, people don't talk enough about
when you guys finish sports,
then you just like are raw dogging life.
When you go from being like the greatest at something
and then the next day you have nothing,
I'm so happy she reached out.
And her situation, she, I finished my career at like 22.
She did it until she's 28.
Yeah.
That's like where a lot of people during that time are starting what their profession is.
I know the feeling you leave and you go everyone else is more prepared than I am and everything else.
And that's what I'm going to stop you right there.
First of all, everything that made you successful in that sport is part of who you are.
And when you find that next passion, you're going to put all those same things into that and it'll make you special.
So that's number one.
Number two, the pain is real.
you have to be in therapy it's basically the longest relationship you've ever been in you had a divorce
and now it's going to take you years to move on from it and that's just part of the process thirdly
you feeling like you're just like lost in life and not doing anything you're doing exactly what
you're supposed to do which is going around in life and trying to figure out what that next thing is
you can't just know immediately what it's going to be you have to float around you have to meet people
you have to discover things you have to make mistakes this period is vital
that you make sure you let yourself float around
and see what you gravitate towards and discover things
because you never had that before.
That's what people were doing in their teens
while you were training.
That's what people were doing in their early 20s
when you were training.
You were now making up for missed time
and I know it feels like not like
with sports where you're like,
I need to train today, I have routine,
I know what I'm going for.
This is a new thing for you
which is you don't have a goal.
You don't have a purpose.
And to find that purpose,
you have to let yourself explore.
Yeah, and I think that obviously Hannah has been through this,
so that's great advice.
But what I will say is a year-long working holiday visa in Australia,
I don't think a lot of people have regretted doing those.
A lot of Irish people do that.
And I think it's a good idea.
I honestly, I think just taking that time for yourself,
experience a new culture, Australia is just so fucking awesome.
What is working holiday visa mean for Americans?
Basically, if you're under 30, there's a lot of European countries that you're, and I don't know if it's for Americans, but definitely for Ireland, and I think for all of the EU, you can go to Australia on a year-long work in a holiday visa.
So basically, you get the ability to work for one year.
And then if you want to extend it, you can work for a period of time on the farms, picking fruit.
So basically, there's like certain jobs that you can do.
Make you.
And you get an extension for a year.
So basically...
I want to do that.
Yeah, you're too old now to do the year-long working holiday visa?
But the good news is it's easy to get an entertained visa for when you go to Australia.
But anyway, I think that while you're trying to figure this out,
I think you should do a year-long working holiday visa in Australia
because it's just so...
It's such a great lifestyle.
And I just think that it will be the right place for you to figure yourself out.
Yeah, it's hard to say...
It's hard to not feel bad and be like, I'm not doing anything.
but you are actually actively figuring things out
it's kind of like when you're creative
and you're writing a book or something
but you're sitting there and you're like
oh I can't think of anything
it's part of the process
you have to go through that confusion
and also do not compare yourself
to other people's timelines
because you had a full career
when you were in your teens
like so this is let this be like a little
retirement for you I know it might be hard
financially or it might be confusing
for family and stuff like that but
you have a whole different timeline
you've had an unorthodox life and lean into it and you're going to be great at anything you do
because once you do find that passion you're going to ascend just like you did in your sport and I love you
yeah and also you know because I'm a little older you know like it's really quite early in your life
for you to be figuring out who you are I know it doesn't feel like that oh good point it's
it's it's really like innumerous stories of people who like ended up extremely successful
at doing something that they figured out way later
than the age you are now.
So I wouldn't allow that kind of anxiety
of sort of like time ticking away
to, you know, basically make it hard
for you to make a decision
because you actually end up stuck
when you focus on that.
Your 20s are really scary though
because you think by your 30s
you have to literally have a life set.
You know, marriage, kids, career,
everything, and your 20s, you're like,
I don't even, my brain just got fully formed.
I have no idea what's going on.
But Desa's speaking from experience,
every year in your life it doesn't matter what year
you can reinvent yourself
rediscover things about yourself
change the trajectory of your life
and that's why that one girl needs to break up with her boyfriend
yeah and we'd love
I wish we knew what sport
so we could
Amsterdam why do I feel like it was track
I feel like she was or like a hurdler or something
yeah it could have been soccer or she could have been
like women's soccer team yeah
we just have such um interesting
worldly listeners
yeah by the way just for the record because I'm getting
accused of picking people from other parts of the world.
I pick that on the subject matter,
not on the fact. Like, we're the epaqad
of pods. What can I say?
We're so worldly. So worldly.
Okay, so this is actually somebody I think that's kind of
giving advice, which I like, since it's got a lot of
relationship focused ones today.
Hey, mom and dad. Love
the prompts. Um, but the
advice that I would ask you guys is
how do you guys stay
in like a very strong, healthy
relationship, but also
manage to be
yourselves too. Like I know if you're super dedicated to your relationship, you sometimes see that
you like lose yourself. And then on the other hand, um, you sometimes lose the relationship. So how do
you guys find that balance with, I mean, your insane schedules, traveling, whatnot? And then keeping
your friends, your hobbies, your whatever you like to do. But then also like reconnecting with each
other and making sure like you guys find time for each other I guess um so any advice there on
like how you guys figure it out and make it work so great thanks well it helps when you get
an unbelievably bad luck run of injuries between when you meet your now wife that you actually
can't do most of your hobbies you're like I actually would not like to be here right now
You're like I would be playing golf right now if I could
We've talked about this before
But like it's essential for people to maintain their own lives
And again we're all speaking with
This is when you don't have kids advice
I understand just how much more complicated
All this is when you have kids
So take this as for people that don't have children
That stage of their life
I think
You have to
if you're in a relationship where
you feel like you can't also have
your own life, it's a red
flag for me. And I also think
when you're looking for a partner, it's important
for me to be with someone who has
their own passions. I find it
unattractive for someone to not be
like chasing something or have a
goal or like driven to do something
and then also he allows you
to do it. I also want to add
I think because I met
you when I was
29, 30, whatever it was.
I had learned about myself a little more
and I was more earlier in my 20s
more often would like meet someone
and kind of like make everything about them
or like mold myself a little
to what I think they'd like
where by the time I met you I was like
this is me either you want or you don't
and that's just a timing thing
can I tell the story about what your dad said to me
when I played golf for them for the first time
can I tell that story? I forget
so your dad goes
I just want to say
thanks you know because you know she's a lot to take on you know this is like really I appreciate
you know like because you know it's not it's not it's not easy to take on you know Hannah I was like
wait so when he told you that which by the way fuck you dad for like literally almost ruining
the love of my life fuck you I'm paraphrasing but that was no he basically was like well
when you proposed to him he literally said she's your problem now
What I asked his permission.
When he said...
When I went traditional.
When he said that to you on the golf course, what was your initial response in your head?
Like, were you like a little scared?
No.
I was just like, dude, that's not a thing.
And was he correct?
I mean, are you a handful?
Was there a lot of drama after the fact?
I mean, yeah, he must have known how dramatic it could get.
but like not a problem
you know
nothing you can't handle also more dramatic
than fucking teenage alcoholism
testicular cancer fucking dead
parents
being sent to another country at 14
I got you bro
does minus reality TV day to day
like there's not a lot of drama
no but that that was a hard time
that was a specific hard time that was a very
but the funny thing is my dad wasn't referring to that
my dad I think was just like you know she's had
some really tough tennis matches
He's a fucking pain in the ass.
I love this.
No, you know what it is?
I guess because you have like a big personality in his mind.
He was thinking like, who can handle this?
Yes.
Like you do not.
If you, because you've been around my cousins and like you're about to go into another one.
Like, because I literally even have a joke in the show about like the loudness.
Like you are not, you are not a bigger energy than a lot of the people that I grew up.
You know what is?
I think it's because I'll, yeah.
My dad, I am, he calls me the catalyst.
Like, when I walk into somewhere, shit goes down always.
And I guess he just was like, it's just so funny that there's so many dads that would give anything to, like, have someone want their daughter.
And my dad's just like, hey, just morning you.
Just make sure you're not making a mistake here.
This is a lot to take on.
Just so you know.
Go home, think about it.
Sleep on it before you make an decision.
Like a bad salesman.
It's like, listen, you know, this boat is a lot of responsibility.
Some dumb fucking 22-year-old kid
Made money on the stock market once they'd like waste his money on a boat
And the salesman's like, you're sure you can handle this?
It's going to get expensive.
Listen, man, you sure you can emotionally handle the ups and downs of this fucking lunatic?
I think also because my dad was my coach.
Like, yeah, he just knows that it's, I'm not a meek, like.
Yeah, but he didn't know that I have no interest, you know?
I don't seek the meek, you know?
I don't see Mary Monroe said that once I don't seek the me.
You got past over doing it.
You all over did it to the point where it's funny again.
This is like stand-up 101.
I'm not seeking the week yet, the meek yet.
That's so true.
You know, and I guess, I guess a lot of men think that like,
you're going to be too, like, that it's going to be too much, you know, that they don't want somebody who, like, wants the limelight or likes the attention, but, like, I don't want attention or the limelight.
Wow.
Okay.
We can, we can get into the, but, like, basically, I think a lot, traditionally, I think men think that maybe, like, that can be hard.
Do you know what we have to do now?
What?
Because I know he listens to the pod.
next time we're with him, we'll ask him.
Is this acceptable?
We'll say, what did you mean by that?
What did you mean by that?
What did you mean by that?
Well, he's always joking.
He's always joking.
Because, like, me and him, all we do is make fun of each other.
By the way, he was right.
By the time I realized that, I was, I was pot committed.
You know, I was all in.
I was like, oh, Jesus, I'm all in now.
I hope my fucking hand.
I hope the river card turns out to be a winner.
Because the flop.
These are Texas Hold'em Rivers
So when the flop went down
I was like, oh shit
I wish I didn't fucking all in on this pair of aces
Because this is a fucking disaster
But we got through it
And the river card came up Trump's
Netflix special on the river
Netflix special on the river
Bitch
Take that Reddit
bleep that out
no fuck that
no fuck you no there's no fucking
take that redigan pleaped out of my podcast
forget about it
no come on
people don't know that brain or bone we go
so rogue
we're so much more
we're so much more well-behaved on giggly squad
that's not that rogue that's not that rogue
that was rogue listen
that's fine it's fine
anyway we had a good
I just don't know if people are going to
appreciate the Texas Hold'em for metaphor.
I do have to say, whenever I see a girl playing poker on Instagram, I follow her.
Really?
Because I think it's, like, cool as fuck.
I love when it's like a bunch of old dudes and then like a hot girl with like a corset and big boobs and just beating them.
I mean, it's giving why I went to stand up.
Interesting.
Similar energy.
I love, I love it.
and it means they're
smart and they have to sit in these rooms with these
like men every night
here we go again
Jesus Christ
I just I hate being one of the most successful stand-ups
I have to be around all these men
I wouldn't wish it on anyone
all right here we go
let's
actually we have to go
so let's do one more
let's
you're trying to go the party early
you're not going to roll in like 15 minutes late
no I'm not trying to go early
it's it's literally the time we're supposed to arrive right now
I know but this is a good this is a good question
do you like showing up on time
no I don't want to be on time but we're not there
how far away are we well
by the way we haven't even
this is not a discussion
for the podcast but we haven't even
done the last one yet
so there's the amount of time it takes us to do one more
and then put everything away
and then put the directions into
so I'm just saying
Just trust me
When it comes to logistics
I'm the logistics partner in this relationship
And I'm the toddler that follows him around
So I got it on the timing front
Okay DJ Desi
Spin it
No because PJ can only go for an hour
So I don't want to be too late
And miss seeing PJ
Well no you're the one that
I was just like setting it up to finish
And then you were like wait a minute
You want to be there early
And all the girls like
How do you have such a successful relationship
You can do a huge fight about how to end of the podcast.
No, this is not a, come on.
It's not a fight.
So, um, PJs that.
No, I can't remember which fucking one I was going to pick.
You fucking distracted me.
How many fucking times I got to tell you?
When I pick a propped, I pick a fucking prop.
No, I'm just kidding.
So, um, but that's the way I was raised.
Just if people want to know, sometimes people are like,
what was it like growing up in Queens?
There was that.
But that was a, I was joking there.
That was a joke.
I was joking.
It's my father said in the documentary.
It was a joke. I was joking.
Oh, God.
So, what the hell was I going to pick?
So you weren't joking?
No, no, that part I wasn't joking.
I did forget.
Oh, yeah, okay.
I don't know what this is, but it sounds like a good topic.
I hope it is.
Okay.
Hey, guys.
So some advice that I want to ask you guys,
I don't even know if you've ever experienced this or felt this,
but, like, how do you guys manage to not compare yourselves to others?
like within your age like for me social media I know it's horrible don't I hate it but seeing like
pictures of people my age in different stages of life like I know social media is fake but if they're
engaged you're having babies or they seem more successful like how do you manage to not compare yourself
to that like I know it's easier said than done and be like okay be happy where you're at everyone's
in different stages but like do you have anything more that could help in that
situation because I feel like there's so many times that I see people post things that are in
my age range and I'm like holy shit I'm nowhere near that I need to get my shit together and
get my life together but I know that's like not okay so thank I mean this is this is a great
topic great question I did see a very funny meme recently that was like just saw someone younger
than me who's more talented my day's ruined well there's a comedian Dave
Savage in Ireland and he always he always used to say in interviews he's like when I see a comedian
doing well a little part of me dies so first off you're not alone you're not you're not alone
especially in social media age this is prime time I'll go first I have always been obsessed with
the idea of success I think when this pod first started it was burning in hell where I was obsessed
with talking to people who on paper were incredible and talking to them about their demons and what
I learned from it and what you can learn from it. You can go back and listen to it is everyone is having
their own demons. Everyone's having their own journey that they're fighting with. And I hate to say
no one's happy, but everyone is dealing with their own situation in life and life itself. No one really
understands and no one's figured it out and everyone's just trying to figure it out. Some people are
at their least happy, at most successful. Some people are just really happy. I find
fine two things that I do
is actually
trying to be happy for someone
being like wow it's so cool
that I know that person and they're doing that
and that's cool that I know someone that cool
and like and trying to put that energy
into the universe and it's almost a fake
it till you make it like first
like pretend to be happy and the next thing you know
you kind of are and then secondly
working on gratitude
so the second you see something happening
and you get negative with yourself you stop
and you go I'm so happy
be that at least I have this thing for me and finally working on being grateful for things
and happy for things that aren't social media type like I just bought a house or I just got this
job or like I got this many likes on a photo and finding the happiness in the little things
because that is less comparable I feel like yeah I also think though that there's nothing wrong
with using a little bit of that feeling as a motivator?
Yes.
You know, I think there's nothing wrong with being like,
oh, maybe there's more I could get from life.
But at the same time, I don't mean that in the sense of
that you should use it as a way to say,
yeah, I'm not good enough.
But there's a part of it you can say,
I'm comfortable with my life.
But yeah, I wouldn't mind a little bit more of that.
So I actually use it as a motivator.
Because at the end of the day,
if it's somebody you grew up with,
there's nothing stopping you getting something similar yourself, you know?
Yeah.
But to compare us to compete,
social media is really the worst
because people are putting their best foot forward
and so you're comparing yourself to people's
the best things in their life.
You really don't know what's going on,
which Hannah has already touched on.
But the reality is that
that is a dark side to social media,
which is like it induces these feelings,
which I don't actually think are that healthy for humanity.
So in a way, when I say use it as a motivator,
it's just because you have to try to find something positive from it
because actually, I don't think a lot of this stuff,
the way that we live through social media,
is actually that good for humanity?
No, it's not.
So this is like, this is basically,
we are the first part of humanity
that has had to adapt to this particular,
you know, sort of hyper-connectivity, you know?
Yeah, the amount of stuff we're seeing
when we look at our phone,
of the amount of people we know what's going on,
no human has had to do.
Most humans would just wake up
and try to deal with the situation at hand.
Yeah.
But I love what you said about using as motivation.
I've done that before for sure
where you don't even know you want,
something until you get that like you get a little jealous feeling and then you go oh that's what
i want to do and then they've proven to you that it can be done like they're literally like
guiding you in a way it's like if that person can do it why can't i and yeah use it to help you chase
goals in life and i think too the thing with jealousy because like people are always very
like concerned about jealousy but here's the thing it's a very normal human emotion it is literally
the absolute correct reaction
to seeing something
that you're like,
oh, I want that.
You experience a bit of jealousy.
So there's no problem
with feeling the jealousy.
The problem is with what you do
with the jealousy, right?
And a lot of times
people allow it to either,
you know,
they internalize it in a way
where they use it to sort of punish themselves,
say that they're not worth more,
or sometimes they use it as a way
to generate resentment
because it's like,
I can't handle this feeling.
So how can I make myself feel empowered
by being like, oh, well,
you know, she was always a,
bitch or I'd say this is fake or you know basically like allow it to trigger a resentment that's
also negative so I think sometimes it's be like yeah I'm feeling jealous
acknowledge it and then move on that's the other part of it because you are just going to forget
well also yeah because if you feel really bad that you feel jealous then that emotion becomes like
dirty and naughty yeah it's too much power and it starts having power over you but it's it is so true
like you'll see animals in the animal kingdom
where like a cat's getting pet
and the other cats gets jealous
I want to get pet that's part of life
you're like why is that one getting pet I'm not getting pet
give me some pets why do you think she's prettier than me
why you're petting her not me yeah you're human
welcome to the party welcome to the party but but the problem
is that obviously because like everything
like all human emotion is now
on steroids with social media
right so I think
it's such a great thing to talk about because I think
everybody's dealing with this.
We are all dealing with this.
And so we all have to find our ways
to make something positive out of it.
And I do definitely think the gratitude thing.
You know, also like the really allowing yourself
to be happy for people is also good, you know?
Because that is part of like,
that's like part of compassion.
Because people always think of compassion as,
oh, feel, feel for somebody who's...
Something bad happening.
Yeah.
But actually part of it is to just like understand
that like it's good for that person.
person, too, that we're all, you know.
Yes, positivity.
Another thing is that it's nothing to do with you.
That's another thing that can be difficult because it's like, actually, what's going on
for them has nothing to do with me.
Yeah.
And you can kind of separate yourself from it, which is also freeing, you know?
Yes, yes.
And obviously, we can get into all the old parables about, you know, oh, what, oh, I like
this cross.
And it's like, well, that's the one you came in with, you know, that one, right?
But the guy comes in with the cross and he's like, oh, this cross is.
too heavy and he says yeah pick a cross and it goes through all these crosses and in the end
he goes this one's perfect and he goes that's the one you came in with you know like
everybody like if you actually experienced you know what other people are are experiencing you might
not you might not be as keen that's a good one that's really good that's a quickie I also
Mike Feeney once said this quote to me where I always say which is like everyone's life is
like popcorn you're popping at different times that's just how it works nice and know that your
shit will pop finally
Which is something I said in Giggly Squad that people have kind of latched on to.
Whenever I feel a little nasty, a little, a little mad at something,
you have to fucking realize it's your ego.
And that's when I sell myself, your ego is not your amigo.
Nice.
Marilyn Monroe.
And your ego is not your amigo.
It's so important to be like, wait, wait, wait.
Why do I think I deserve that and they don't?
Why do I think that I have to be better than them at that?
Like, this is all your ego speaking.
And once you detach from your ego, you fucking suddenly feel free.
Yeah.
And so remember, like, if you can get your ego in check, you can get your life in check.
Yes.
Just remember that an ego death is really the birth of your soul.
Wow, we're starting a cult, aren't we?
Yeah, we're starting a cult.
We look like those two.
There were literally those two people who started that, like, online.
nine cults and they started matching people up.
Yeah, what was that called again?
It was called. Oh, it was called True Flame or something.
Yeah, you're true flame. It was true flame, right?
Something Flame.
Twin Flame.
Twin Flame.
That's when she was like, you actually are going to marry him.
Yeah, because I think you're trans.
That was literally what happened.
But hey, just to finish, since we were joking, you know, you were saying I was going rogue
and we were joking about the Reddit thing.
But, like, if you look at, like, the dark size of the internet,
and, you know, the hatred and the, you know, anonymous people being really abusive.
A lot of that stuff is motivated by allowing the jealousy and the self-hatred to take you over.
And they really indulge in, like, essentially the dark side of the force, you know, like giving into all these, like, horrible human impulses, you know, that really, like, eat away at you.
You know, so it's so good that you're actually talking about how do I,
not get into this negative mind space because actually, you know, the opposite side of like
trying to not become negative about this is actually like really something that can be very
toxic for you, you know?
Yeah, but it also, it does suck when like you feel like nothing you're doing is good enough
compared to everything you're seeing online and then you start being like, well, then
what am I even doing?
But then it's funny to think there are people out there.
that are jealous of you.
Yeah.
They're looking at your profile going,
wow, I wish I had that.
So it's like, we are all human.
Don't get mad at yourself for feeling these feelings.
It's exactly what does said.
It's how you're going to handle the feelings.
You can accept it.
Don't latch onto it and don't have negativity towards you.
And when you get to my age,
you just have to stay off Facebook.
Then you don't have to compare yourself to anybody you grew up with.
When you get to his age,
the world might be extinct,
so you don't even have to worry about that.
All I say is by the time you get to 50,
I just recommend aging well
and then everybody you see
you're like,
well, I'm doing better than that motherfucker.
Wow, I guess that's what happens
when you have four kids.
I guess they're still going to mass.
But anyway, okay, let's wrap it up.
Let's wrap it up.
You guys, I announced my tour.
I announced my tour.
In the fall, I'm going everywhere.
It's selling out.
Go to Hanibur.com.

cities, so let me know.

Hi, I love you guys in the pod.
I just have a question that would like advice on.
How can you get over resentment in a relationship when they've already apologized
and I'm sorry to act differently, but sometimes I just wake up and I'm still mad about it.
So just wondering if you guys had any advice. Thanks.
Hey, Hannah and Des. It's Diane. I've been a long-time listener, long-time giggler, and I moved to New York back in September last year from Toronto, Canada.
And I just want, like, general advice on starting over and starting a new life in New York City.
like I went through like a pretty significant breakup earlier this year and also like kind of just like starting over like career and everything like that and like building my network and like even like friendships and everything like that in New York.
So just general advice in terms of starting over a life in New York City.

about doing like four to six months of travel before we have kids. And right now my corporate job

I either take a month and like it's wasted just a long vacation or actually do the-
Hi Hannah, hi-des, big fans of the pod. I'm getting married two weeks from tomorrow. And I feel
nervous and calm at the same time we've been planning for a year and a half so at this point
I feel like I'm kind of over this shit but at the same time part of me is still freaking out
about every single detail and wanting it to be perfect and I feel like I have a similar vibe
to what y'all had for your wedding but I would love advice on how to just stay calm and be
present and I know everyone tells me that you forget everything about your own wedding after
because there's just so much adrenaline so I just need advice and just some words of encouragement
honestly would go a long way and I love you both and I will definitely be listening to this
podcast religiously every day leading up to the wedding because you guys give me some
laughs and some some calmness.
