Giggly Squad - Bonus Giggly Gloss Hotline

Episode Date: April 9, 2025

This week we did a bonus episode with @tresemme where the gigglers called in and we gave advice on style, hair, relationships, and more. #ad Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello, my glossy gigglers. This is a very special episode of Giggler Squad. We've never done this before. No, we are doing Collins inspired by burner phone, because honestly, people don't talk enough about what a great name burner phone is. I think about it all the time. And I hate puns. It's the only pun I love a pun.

I love a pun and a pen and a pen. No, people talk about things enough. He wants like what a good inky pen. And a pen. People don't talk about pens enough. People don't talk about a good inky pen. Whatever happened to the ballpoint pen? Ooh! And you know in your past life, I know you used a feather. I know you loved a feather. I loved a quill.

A quill. Anyway, this episode is presented by Tressa Mae LaMeller, Gloss and Acast Creative. Thank you guys. It's our first time doing this. We have asked the gigglers to submit questions and we wanna hear your voices. Cause guess what? We're sick of ours.

Yeah, we've heard enough. If I have to hear my own voice or your voice. So you guys have submitted any kind of question to us. Let's play the first caller at 1-800-GLOSSY. This is like all my childhood dreams of being a DJ. Like, hey, this is 99.1. Well, I feel like everything's nostalgic, and I want to feel like we're on live radio again.

You know in New York City, you'd be like, hey, this is Joe. The Mets suck. Did you all grow up with that? And I'm like, dad, why are we listening? And you're in the backseat. It's like nighttime. You really don't know where you'm like, dad, why are we listening? In the backseat, it's like nighttime. You really don't know where you're driving. Are we going home?

Are we going to Grandma's? Detroit was horrible. Fire the manager. This is Steve from Staten Island. That's the Gigglers. That's what we're about to have. We never get to the gigglers. Ten minutes in, we're like, remember when we were in the car when we were little?

Okay, come on now. Grace, you're going to have to put your foot down here. Super fun idea. Love you girls. Thanks for making me giggle. My question is, like, to what degree do you think is an okay amount for a man to connect with his mom or his mom to be connecting with him? And I'm meaning, like, late 20s, early 30s, mid-30s. What does that look like in y'all's opinion and what's too much

and what's too little? Where one could be a red flag on both sides for the man and his mother. It's a spectrum and we all know one side of the spectrum is when you catch your husband sucking on his mom's teat on his wedding day. Yeah. Which you told me that story. What a story that was. Yeah. You guys have me that story. What a story that was. Yeah.

Oh my God. You guys have never heard this story? You guys don't see the news? You don't watch the news? You don't watch. You've never gone through a newspaper before? Like a year ago, a year ago, I'm on vacation with like a bunch of my girlfriends

and one of my girlfriends says, her friend's sister was- So from the source. So her friend's ex's sister's wife. Her friend's sister, or maybe it was her sister, whatever, it doesn't matter, was at a wedding weekend. Like it was taking place that weekend. And the wedding got canceled day of because the bridesmaid of honor walked in on the groom

sucking his mom's tit. But back to our gorgeous giggler. Then there's the he hates his mom and when she calls he tells her to shut up. Where do we want a guy to be? I think a man late 20s on so let's say so he has a career. He's waking up every day. He's going to a job. We pray. We pray to Saint Anthony. He pays rent. He's in a relationship. I would say speaking to his mom on the phone every other day? Too much. You think too much? You're so Italian.

I was gonna say three times a week. You're so Italian. No, I think I would like once or twice a week for a man. I'm speaking to my mom every day. Yeah, I'm speaking to my mom every day. Are they texting or calling? I would like one call, but texting whenever. See, I think that she can text him every day.

Yeah, she can text him whenever. A lot of drama comes from parent-in-laws and having sometimes the- Parent? Mother or father-in-laws. Just the auntie. In-laws, yeah. But I guess what happens is the mother's like,

that's my son. And then when the wife comes in, the mom doesn't always want to give boundaries because she's like, that's my son. Yeah. And then when the wife comes in, the mom doesn't always want to give boundaries because she's like, that's still my son where the wife is like, No, now we have our family and he has to be there for our family and he can't be there for you the way he used to be because he's an adult now. And I do think in the Italian culture, it's a little different where it's like we're family. We're always family.

You do what your mom needs to do. I think it's important that like, if you're dealing with a mom, your boyfriend's mom, who's like a little kooky maybe, like a little zany, if he recognizes it and says it to you, like, hey, my mom's like a little quirky. And like, if he's self-aware enough, then you're fine. If he has no feelings about it,

and he's like, whoa, like this is normal, then that's where it's like, you gotta be cautious. What if the mom is fucking great and he has a very healthy relationship to her, but then you have something you really wanna do, but he's like, no, my mom wants to do this and I'm gonna go with her.

How do you feel? It would depend, this is such hypotheticals. It's both your birthdays. You're through. I'm like, what is the thing that I'm trying to do and what does the mom want to do? That is different. I do think that sometimes there's power struggles. However, I do think in a relationship, the wife's mother- The wife's mom, okay. Gets everything she wants. You know what I mean? Because it's like, The wife's mom, okay. Gets everything she wants.

You know what I mean? Because it's like, I had a baby, the mom is taking care of it, we do whatever we want. But the husband's mom doesn't have the same rights. Correct. I think a lot about like, when I go wedding dress shopping,

in my head all these years I've envisioned it's just me and my mom. Like I'm not one of those girls that's bringing bridesmaids. I don't need your guys opinion. I literally need one woman's opinion and it's Kim DeSorebao. You're like don't let Hannah burn her near the store. No I might bring you just for comedic relief. Yeah but then I get one opinion and you're like we don't do that here. You stick to your jokes. What if she liked a dress and this, I don't know the name of it. The mother-in-law, my future mother-in-law. She goes, it looks a little slutty.

Yeah. I'd be like, it's a little too much cleavage. Yeah. But then I'm like, is that rude to not invite your future mother-in-law to wedding dress shopping with you? We're speaking in such hypotheticals. Yeah, we like to say that. Let me say something else that in my dream solves everything.

My favorite thing in the world was becoming best friends with my man's mom and then turning her against him. And then we are a unit and we're unbreakable. And it's like, I have your mom now. What are you gonna do about it? Wait till I tell your mom. I know. The second you look at her eyes and you're like,

has he always been like this? And she's like, yes, I would leave him if I could, but I'm his mother. And I'm like, girl, I know. We are bonded. And then if I ever leave him, she brings me up every single week. Can I tell you something?

My mom runs into a lot of my ex's moms, cause moms go to the same place. Moms see each other. Those moms have asked about me for the rest of my ex boyfriend's lives. There's a plethora of them. And it's so, every time I hear it, whenever my mom calls me and says,

oh, I ran into you, I go, and my revenge lasts a lifetime. My revenge will last years. What was the question? Hi Hannah and Paige. Love you rock on. My, I'm so sorry if I say seven times. My question for you guys is how do you stop dressing for the male gaze?

Very beginning she started criticizing herself before she even said um she was like sorry but I'm gonna say um so I'm gonna apologize in advance. If you're dressing for the male gaze you're not gonna dress well because let's be honest straight men don't know how to dress so. It's not like fashion she means like looking hot like I know when I'm in an outfit and I'm like, I look hot. And I know when I'm in an outfit where I'm like, not one man is gonna be like, wow, she looks hot right now.

I mean, hot take and Julia Fox would agree. My thing is I don't feel more attractive if a man like looks at me on the street. Men would fuck warm bread pudding. It's not a compliment to me if a guy looks at me on the street, men would fuck warm bread pudding. It's not a compliment to me if a guy thinks I'm hot. That's nice, that's not gonna feed my soul. And I think you should dress what makes you feel confident, because I've also seen girls dress for the male gaze

and you can tell they're uncomfortable and they can't walk in their heels and they regret it because their feet hurt. I'm gonna be really candid and really vulnerable and open right now. And I feel like I dressed for the male gaze the majority of my life because I wore a school uniform in high school.

So college was really the first time I had to wear an outfit every single day. And of course, you want to look hot. You want someone to be like, wow, she's really hot, like whatever. So I think when I first was like, oh, I want to wear this outfit, but it's quirky and weird

and the men definitely aren't gonna get it, it was a transition. I think the way I transitioned into it was making your hair and makeup super sexy and girly when you're in an outfit that you don't feel is super hot and sexy and girly, and that will help you transition. So if you have an awesome blowout with a great curl

and you're doing a full eye, it gives sexy. Yeah, I think the word is, yeah, you wanna feel sexy, and I actually, my hair, that's why I wear it down. I think my hair is where I feel sexy. And then I can wear dress literally like a little boy. Yeah. And I love that. But I also think if a guy really likes you, he's not going to not want to be with you

because like your outfit one day isn't. There's also like, I see so many, like Hailey Bieber is a great example of like, she'll wear a basketball short and like a t-shirt and it's not necessarily for the men, but then she'll do a slick back bun and like a sick eye wing and it's like, wait, she's hot. Yeah. So I think that's like how you can ease into it. I also think that beauty standards change so much over time. So at the end of the day, do what makes you feel sexy and confident

because eyebrows are different every year. Makeup is different every year. Also, there's a lot of men that actually do like... Love. I've had a lot of guys being like, yeah, I love when you wear a baggy pant and like a denim button up. Love.

You know? So it's the right guy will actually think you are dressing for him. Yes. Yes. So we didn't answer it. What's next, Grace? If you're anything like us, you love attention. And my favorite way to get all eyes on me is with next level shiny glossy hair.

I'm talking hair so shiny, it's stopping people in the streets. No, seriously, it's giving double take, which is why we're so excited to tell y'all about the new LaMelaure gloss collection from the girlies at Tresemme. Gigglers, this is the shine we've been searching for. I don't know how this LaMelaure technology works,

but it's insane. And gigglers, we've got you too, because Trezmay partnered with us to bring you 1-800-GLOSS, a special bonus episode of Giggly Squad, where Hannah and I give advice on all things hair and giving gloss. Check out the episode and grab the lamellar gloss collection today,

because I'm officially declaring this spring gloss season. Hi Hannah, hi Paige. My name is Allie. I'm from Athens, Georgia. I am a long time giggler, huge, huge, huge fan of you both. Love Summer House, Paige girl this season. Let's talk, send me a message.

Anyways, my question for you guys is, if you could only use one makeup product for the rest of your life, what would that makeup product be? Mine is either eyeliner or mascara. I love the girls so much. I love the girls so much. Wow, I really wanna know what yours is,

but I think I- Can we guess each other's? Okay, I think I know what yours is. Some type of lip. Yes, it's lip liner. Yeah. I actually newly's a lip liner. Yeah. I actually newly came across lip liner, like, and I'm newly obsessed with it as of the last, like, couple years.

I used to just wear- A lip gloss. Or just a lipstick, like a grandma. Yeah. I used to just throw on a lipstick, and then like 10 minutes into the day- Just put your lipstick on and pull yourself up by your bitch traps. Put a lipstick on a lipstick. And then like 10 minutes into the day. Just put your lipstick on and pull yourself up by your bitch traps.

Put a lipstick on a pig. What's it called? Ha ha ha ha ha. Wrong quote. Ha ha ha ha. No, I just put lipstick on, look in the mirror and be like, perfect. And then get to work, drink one coffee,

lipstick's gone, the whole day I don't have anything on my lip, but I think I do. I don't mean to sound cunty. Okay. Is it foundation? No. You just picked the number one thing,

oh, you didn't want to cover your whole face. I'm just gonna walk out with foundation and nothing else, I look insane. I look insane. I look insane. Freckles. No. No, that just sometimes. Don't tell me, don't tell me.

There's only a couple things. No, there's only a couple things. What, blush? No. No. Eyebrow pencil? Yes. You already have the darkest eyebrows, you do not need an eyebrow pencil.

I need an eyebrow. No, you don't. Okay, it was between need an eyebrow pencil. I need an eyebrow. No you don't. Is it a- It's between eyebrows and a mascara. I feel like that is the closest thing we've had to a fight. Okay, next question, next caller. Next caller. Hey guys, long time giggler, love you guys so much.

Question about hair. If you're working out every day, are we washing our hair after every workout? Because I am a sweaty girl and my hair does get very sweaty. So am I supposed to be washing it every day? That seems a lot. Am I not supposed to wash it? And then what am I doing with it?

Because it's wet, so do I blow dry it? Do I dry shampoo? What are your suggestions, thoughts, opinions? Thanks, bye. This is girlhood. This is. This is our cross to bear. This is actually our cross, bye. This is girlhood. This is. This is our cross to bear. This is actually our cross to bar.

This is actually coming across our desk. I said cross to bar. And we need to keep our home clean. Yes. You know what, we're just speaking in, you guys are really tired. We're speaking just general sayings that have no meaning. Anytime we sound stupid, you say, pardon us, we're tired.

We're tired. You've been tired since 1992. We're idiots. Okay. And this is based on my hair, my experience, as a greasy, greasy. This is what works for you. This is what works for me, I'm not a doctor.

No one thought I was, but just to emphasize it that, I think that I never have acne, cause I wash, I have a shower every night. When I don't shower, my hair is so oily, it gets on my, I get it all here. Showering like keeps my skin clear and doing my hair. Yeah, and also it's good for the demons. You wash the demons away.

It actually really is. I've had a lot of psychics tell me, whenever you're feeling uneasy, like shower because it- But you're like, I'm hair cycling. Okay. Bitch. Okay, here's my... Here's my...

my advice, because I'm someone that washes my hair more often than not, and I always got nervous because people are like, oh my God, you're washing your hair too much. It's actually not good for your hair. That only came in, like I only started learning about that. And when I was in like ninth grade, I was like, wait, we're not all washing our hair every night. Like middle school, every night you got home,

you did your homework, you ate dinner, you took a shower. And you shaved to your knee. You wash your hair. Yep. Now I've tried to hair cycle more and more. Like when we're on tour, I try and like get a blowout, do my hair.

So like Thursday night show, great hair. Friday, okay, now I'm curling it. Saturday, slick back bun. Sunday, we're going home. Maybe another slick back bun. But like I try and do it when I can. But some girls, their hair texture, they could get a blowout

and they're good for a week or two. I'm not one of them. My hair is slicked to my eyebrow. Yeah. And you wash every day. Every single day. So I think it truly, I don't know if it's a myth that like washing your hair too much is bad for it,

but I have gone, I've washed it every day and then I've done phases where I haven't washed it every day and it's the same. I do have frizzy hair a lot. So after like a Pilates where my hair is just like kind of crazy and I have to go into a meeting, I do love using Tresemme LaMeller gloss and I just put it on the ends

and it just makes everything look chic. Yeah, another tip I have too is Tresemme has a really good dry shampoo. Say you wash your hair, you blow it out, whatever, and you're like, oh, I really don't want to have to wash it tomorrow. Put your dry shampoo in before your hair is greasy. Mm.

So like- Ooh, get ahead of it. You get ahead of it. Be proactive. Be a woman in STEM. It really does work. Wait, we're such women in STEM right now. Yeah, we're scientists.

Yeah. So every night I'm using the Tressamay shampoo conditioner. And honestly honestly I feel like it just helps me be like cleaner. And I also feel like I'm known for like having very glossy hair, like very shiny hair. And I truly feel like it is because of TRESemmé. Hey ladies. I've been dating this older guy for about a year and a half now. He is 37 and I'm 28 and I've said I love you to him and his response was, you've told me that already. His response was not, I love you

too, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me, let me bow down to you and kiss your feet, which is what I really was expecting. I totally thought he would say it back. It's been a while. We've gone to funerals together. So like, how long is too long to wait until? Wait, I'm obsessed with her. I'm obsessed with her.

Nothing says I love you like a goddamn funeral. She goes, we went to four funerals together. Two of them, I did murder with her. Nothing says I love you like a goddamn funeral. She goes, we went to four funerals together. Two of them I did murder the people. Couldn't even get a love ya. I sacrificed three friends for this. Does it say what her name is? No. We're not trying to put her on blast.

No, I just, I don't know. I thought, I don't know. I don't know why I wanted her name. I was gonna say Kayla. Did she say her social security? Break up with him yesterday. Yes, he doesn't, here's the thing, and I don't wanna be harsh.

He didn't say it back because he doesn't love you. Oh, you did not have to say it that strong. No, and he's telling me. That was crazy. Look at me. We don't know your name because we don't wanna put you on blast. He doesn't love you.

Oh my God. So break up with him. If he loved you, he would have said it first. Okay? I did date this guy once who like two months in, I was jumping into an Uber and he goes, love you, goodbye. And I was like, knew it.

And then he texted me and he was like, oh my God, so embarrassing. Like that was totally by accident. And I was like, it's okay. texted me and he was like oh my god so embarrassing like that was totally by accident and I was like it's okay and I was by accident and then like we never had like a real... Well did you continue dating? We definitely did but I don't know if we like continued doing it. Because he had intimacy issues for sure and so did I but he would like accidentally say it all the time do you think that's his subconscious or he just it, it's like saying, love you, mom. Oh no, I called you mom.

Bye, mom. I don't know, because anyone who said it to me early on, I'm like, yeah, obs. Like, no, you idiot. Yeah, it's also though, like, literal love bombing sometimes. Literal. I do love a guy that waits a couple weeks.

I think a great time frame is three to six months, within three to six months of like officially dating. I think if you become boyfriend and girlfriend in three months, in three to four months, it should be being sad. And if it's not, it's a little iffy. A year and a half, you got gotta get out of there. Would you ever say, I love you first? I don't think I have the confidence. Oh God, no. I don't, I don't have it in me. No, I don't have it in me. I couldn't, I mean, the confidence this girl has

to not only have that happen to her, but then be like, I went to four funerals and he still, I love how he gave her an accent. I would never say it first. Yeah. It's not that I would never say it first. It's just like, there's only a few things men have to do first.

And this is one of them. I also feel like love is such a, everyone is such different. What is love? I think. And it's the age old question. And we're right back to the beginning. What is love?

And that's what we hit a day to find out. Let's start from the beginning. Why are we immediately NPR? We want to be NPR so bad. They'd never have us. They'd never acknowledge us. Now we have a new goal. We manifested. They go, someone got an email wrong

and the Giggly Squad is now here at NPR. Thank you so much for giggling. You know, and they have like, each year, they have like, you have to call in and donate to NPR. She's like, I'm in debt. I've been donating hundreds of thousands of phones. I don't know. I'm being silly now, okay.

When the guys say love, like, I don't know what I'm being silly now. Okay. When the guys say love, like, he, I don't know what he means by it, but it's like, I'll match it. Whatever it is, I'll match it. But I'm not falling in love for someone who hasn't already fallen in love with me. That's dangerous behavior. Yeah. Okay. So our advice is break up.

We love partnering with Tressame and especially their lamellar gloss because being glossy and a glossy giggler means confidence. It means feeling yourself. It's giving 1-800-GLOSSY. No, I love that. And you have to say it like this, glossy. Yes. Wait, that's so good. Thank you. Gigglers, thank you for listening to this very special episode brought to you by Tresemme LaMelaire Gloss Collection and Acast Creative. This was so much fun. We loved doing this.

This was an extra special episode. Thank you to the Glossy Gigglers who hit up the Giggler Hotline. Tell us if we should do it again. We'll make the episode longer. We just wanted to dabble. Trez is listening. Thanks guys.
