Okay, I'm literally sweating. I actually want to put this refresher, like, on my neck. Paige never sweats. So this is incredible. This is happening. Wait, that looks so good. We've been chugging our Dunkin Refreshers. I don't think you can overdose. I looked into it. I just love that you can customize it because, you know, like, we don't like to play by the rules. You love customizing. Oh, my God. I go off. But I wasn't that, like, insane kid that would go the soda machine and put all of it in. And that's why your mom started watering down your drinks. Yeah, because I would, like, be bashed my head against the wall so much energy. But, yeah, kids who did that now are, someone check on them.

Someone check on them. But I'm excited because now we're doing extra episodes and the girls have written in and called in and asked their advice question. We love, love hearing from the gigglers because we forget that people listen. We just yap, yip, yap, bap. And now we realize, like, oh, my God, there's so much more to the conversation. Thank you for coming to our news network. Let's have some call-ins. Grace, you can begin.

And thank you to Duncan for keeping us not only hydrated, refreshed, but making these episodes possible. Hey, Hannah and Paige. My name's Jess. I'm 32 years old. And I'm currently going through a divorce. The divorce has been going on for about two years. And within that time, I've met myself a Zaddy. And he's 46 years old. We've been dating a year and a half. But the problem is I haven't met any of his family. He comes from a Portuguese family. He's also going through a divorce. He tells me his mother hates me and doesn't want to meet me, won't accept that he's dating me. And I sometimes even wonder if that's true or maybe they just don't know about me at all. And I'm slightly getting the ick because he's 46 in allowing his mother to kind of tell him how to live his

life. So I'm wondering if I should stick it out and continue on with the relationship or if after a year and a half, it's too long to have not met the family, even his kids, anyone in the family as a matter of fact. So any advice is greatly appreciated. Oh, and also my ex-husband is dating a girl with my same exact name, but she spells it with a K, which basically tells you all you need to know about her. Thanks. I'm obsessed with her. I'm obsessed with her.

She's like, he literally can't get over me. Wait, now I'm thinking what the name is. Wait, it's so chic to be like 32 and be like, my ex-husband. Like, I love it. I just, it's so, like, I love it. I'm actually mad. I didn't get married just to be like, my ex-husband. My ex-husband.

Also, it's like, you already did the merry thing. No one's like, when are you getting married? You're like, I've been married. Yeah, when are you going to get divorced? She's like, I love being single. Marriage was fine. She's got to scram. Yes.

I support Zadis. Like, I love you girls, especially because a lot of you are so socially aware and smart and mature. I love you with an older man. So this pains me to say, at first I thought maybe you're not meeting the parents because it's a situation like Des where both of his parents are dead, which we love. One could only hope. One could only hope. It's so peaceful.

The holidays. No fights. I'm like, maybe we should go to my parents. I don't know. But his parents sound like they're alive. Yeah. The fact that he could ever say, even if his mom said, I fucking hate her, don't ever, ever add that poison to the relationship.

It's giving some type of manipulation and I don't know what he was getting at by even letting you in on that information. It also sounds made up. Yeah, I'm the one that will lie and be like, no, my mom really loves you. And she'll be like, if you don't break up with him tomorrow. I'm going to blow my brains out. So we don't like him. It sounds like you both needed a rebound

and you both have great chemistry and it's fun. But like I feel like the right guy wants to introduce you to his family pretty early. It's also impossible to dislike someone you've never met. It's actually literally impossible. That's crazy. I think that's crazy. And I get that like divorce is very nuanced.

It's very unique. So maybe it was like he's, was from a religious family. They didn't love that he got divorced. They didn't love that he was already dating. But it's too long now. A year and a half is too long. I do have to say, though, one of my friends who got divorced,

she started dating a guy and it was very early on and wanted to introduce him to the parents. And her parents were like, we're just recovered from the divorce. Like, let's not. But it also was only a couple months in. Six months, fine. This is a year and a half. Yeah.

And I think this is a nice guy to your dating. There's also so much pressure on the first meeting already. Like, cut your losses, he's not for you, and if you break up with him, and he's like, I can't live without you and somehow does this 180, okay, maybe, but I don't think, I think he's giving you a lot of excuses. Yeah, I just don't want you to be in any relationship

where you feel like you're not enough because you are. And also so true, 46 years old, and he's like, let me ask my mom, get a grip. No, no, no, no. We're like, we tell everyone to break up. Light him on fire. We didn't even hear the story. We're like, break up.

Question about getting gossipy. How do you get your man to be better at retrieving gossip? He has such great access to info but does not ask the questions. Is this even possible? I love him because he's unbothered, but I remain bothered. I must know. All things are possible if you just practice. You have to train them like the Olympics.

Before they go to said event in which they could get gossip, You have to structure it like a three-year-old. You have to text them the questions you want them to ask. So like, and when did they break up? And is he seeing anyone new? And you have to send that into them so they have something to look at. They need notes. Yes.

Also, if you're going to a social situation, it's like a game to them. Like, they love the drama of ESPN. This is the drama of this dinner. This girl said this about my friend. Once he knows about it, he's in. It's like reality TV where guys like, I don't like reality TV. and then they're like, why did she say that to that girl? And then they're like, what happens next?

So you just got to get them engaged. I do have to say, gossip is important for bonding. It's connective, tissue. And you have to be in a room and look over to him and him know exactly what you're dealing with. Also, like, you know, when you were little and before you would go somewhere, your mom would be like, now when we get there, you say hi, Mr. and Mrs.

and whatever their last name is. You look them in, like, they would give you pointers. and you'd be like, oh yeah, I forgot that. Like, okay, you have to do that also with your boyfriend or husband before you go somewhere, like, okay, now, remember, we don't like her, and we like her, and, like, they're fighting.

So if you have an opportunity, get in there, you know? You know, it was funny, Des is the one, I think it's because he's a Scorpio. He has such good character awareness where, like, we'll leave something, and I'm like, they were great, and he's like, really? Really?

And so he's the one who gets me. Yeah. But what men are good at, too, which sounds like your guy is good at, is if I'm ruminating on something, I call you or my mom or a friend to just like rehash a situation where he'll be like, and we're done here. Yeah, he'll be like, and it's not that serious. We're done. I've heard enough.

Move on. Let's get to another thing. You're like, but I have seven more scenarios I came up with. Let's just run those really quick. Sorry, I have a hobby. Like, what do you want me to do with my time? Scroll TikTok? I'm figuring shit out right now.

So it's really just a matter of training. Yeah, a matter of training. Practice makes perfect. Oh, I also was doing some recon with a Uber driver. And we were chatting and I was asking about the job and he said all the time when couples get into the car or friends, they always just talk shit about whoever they were with. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? It's humanity.

It's crazy. Yeah. They talk shit about the couple. But it makes me want to be an Uber driver. like an undercover yeah it also made me think about therapists like I know there's like serious intense work and it's you're a doctor a lot of time but sometimes but you get to hear the tea yeah but I guess that's how is a therapist you have the restraint to not be like let me just let me just hop on Instagram and see a picture of this man how do you not start asking follow-up questions

that don't have to do with like mental health because I feel like in my earlier 20s there would have been so many therapists that would have seen a picture and been like okay let me rework this what are we doing here? I was gonna say they're like is he like hot like how would you describe him like how hot is he

because it depends on the advice I'll give you the visuals are important yeah so anyway talking shit and also shout out Caroline Banowitz is one of my friends who is a hilarious comedian and she posted about Love Island about talking shit and she was like I'm totally fine with people talking shit

but whatever happened to like sending in the group chat why are we all posting online like hatred for like an episode of a character. Bring back journaling. Bring back gossiping one on one. No. Bring back getting a coffee. Literally bring back.

Can't wait to tell you this when I get home. Yes. Like we're in the comfort of our home. Bring back no paper trail. Like say it on spray us. Sorry, page is. Say it, don't spray it. That was a callback from off camera, but if you guys were here, you'd get it.

Literally, say it, don't spray it. Like, I don't. Okay, what's next? Oh, one more thing. If you're dating someone, you will run out of stories. You have to get new gossip. Yeah. Because, like, you'll only last, like, two months with your classics.

You know, you can tell when they run out of the classics. And sometimes you're like, wow, we've got to. We've been hating on this person for two hours now. Like, got anyone else? Sometimes I get sick of myself. I'm like, okay, how much can we go on? I was really talking about someone, and my friend was like, they're the kind of person that's really fun in the beginning,

and then they start to run out of stories, and you're kind of like, we get the shit. Yeah. So anyway, you got to go creative out there. Did you know that this one has B vitamins in it? Wait, no. That's why I've been answering the questions, like, so quickly. Because you're so much smarter.

I'm so much smarter. I'm feeling just, like, energized and refreshed. So just get on my level. And keep sending us your summer stories at giggly summer.com.

We love this, like, merch collab. We did with them. Hi, Paige. Hi, Hannah. Let me tell you a quick story about a summertime day, early 20s, college days. So here I was, um, we lived in this apartment complex, me and like six of my girlfriends, uh, three of us lived in one apartment, three of us lived in the other, right next door to each other. We're at the pool like most of the day. We get this idea. We're like, let's get tattoos. Great idea. We're like, mm, don't really know what to do. We decided, uh, that just to get like shapes that we liked, like, um, clip art shapes, perfect. I get a star. We're driving back to our apartment in my Dodge neon.

I wasn't driving at the time. Someone else had the proof. of driving the Dodge Neon and so we're driving back and we're like on this main drag in our hometown anyway um we're like we see this car of boys and we're like kind of flirting with them like going back and forth and we're like you know at a stoplight we're like hey like whatever um and then you know we're going back and forth then at each stoplight so like every stoplight it was like a red light and we're like oh my gosh this is crazy like every single stoplight so at the last stoplight before we're about to turn we're like okay should we like exchange numbers with them or something should we so we

we like stop and we're like hey and like everybody rolls down their windows and we're like do you want to like exchange numbers or whatever they throw a full on freaking chipotle burrito into our windows like and it exploded i kid you not this thing explodes in the car so we have like freaking cilantro lime rice like all up in our hair like sour cream fresco salsa corn salsa everywhere you cannot imagine the mess this made anyway uh worst day ever Summer memories, love them, college. Woo! Bye!

I literally need a burrito now. Well, I was going to say, how dare you disrespect the burrito in that fashion? Like, it's so my-like. Well, simultaneously committing a crime. Also, I would have ate it. I would have been like, oh, what's it called? Also, that's salt.

Those burritos are like four pounds. Have you finished you? You're like, yeah, put an extra rice. God forbid they got a double wrapped. I mean, that's a literal bread. If you got extra ground beef, I mean, you're done for. What's it called when you get like a fancy thing that's taken apart that they call in a fancy restaurant, like a... Deconstructed.

It's a deconstructed burrito and you can eat it. Side note, I actually had a burrito yesterday and I was looking at it. And I was like, I feel like I finally know. how men feel when they see a girl with like a nice ass because I was like that shit like it was like I'm gonna just squeeze up yeah like I was like I just want to smell it I want to touch it and I was like you're sick

you're literally sick I felt like a creep I was like get that burrito away from me I'm acting a fool what did the tattoo have to do with it I was really waiting for something at the tattoo place to happen and then she was like and now we're in the car I'm like so what was that even part She could have just been like, we're in the car, we're flirting with these guys. Like, the whole bags were.

Also, the fact that six of them lived in one apartment complex, three and three. I love the gigglers, because it's like, what was that detail? This is the thing she loved giving details. Yeah. And she was consistent with them. Like, she didn't leave us guessing on anything. She needs to tutor the other girl's boyfriend in gossip. She's like, these are the details we need.

Yes, she needs to meet that boyfriend, do a literal masterclass with him about how to give the gossip. Yeah. That was really good. I thought maybe someone was going to happen where like the burrito hit the tattoo and it like got like What was the conversation in the boy's car? Like oh my god you know it would be so funny like what? That is so funny. Also who's burrito?

There's definitely there was definitely like a Jeremy in there being like I was going to eat that. That was literally $20. We got one burrito. Bro, I literally told you I didn't have breakfast this morning. I love that one car the girls are like, I think my husband could be in this guy. she's like so imagine telling my grandchildren that at a stop sign i met me i'm like wait we both like cilantro do you know how rare that is but then the guys are literally like what if i'm i'm impressed that they got the burrito through the window yeah but chris why would a guy do that i think for the

exact reason that you just said it's just dumb idiot guys they're trying to show up for each other that's the problem yeah men are in a group they they they want to fuck each other more than they want to fuck girls so they're like i'd rather think jeremy thinks i'm cool than that girl you ever seen a group of guys around one really rich guy it's one the craziest things i've ever experienced it's literally like piranhas i'm like why don't you guys just take your pants off they're like wait i really like that tie would you get that tight and then he's like telling bad jokes and they're all like ho ho ho ho ho but once no this last week i saw like a group of teenage boys and they were like all these cute girls

on the corner. Yeah. And I was like, go to the corner. There's all these girls there, but they were too busy, like... Which generation is that even? Gen Alpha? Like maybe, it was like 18-year-olds, which honestly, I was terrified. iPad kids are scary.

I could take one of them, but like when they're in a crew coming in, they're swift. Going through puberty? No. Yeah, they're shifty. Yeah. They looked like they were going to bully me. Yeah. They were going to call me ma'am.

I cross the street. If I see a group of kids or a group of men... With a bike? crossing the street. If they have a vehicle with them? Kids with a bike are not to be trusted. They can't be, hooligans. Hooligans going so fast.

Little punks. I'll trip them. I'll trip them. And then they can't even see with like that hairstyle they have. Thank you for bringing this up. It's like a mom. What is the hairstyle that the tween teen boys are doing? It's a thing.

Like they go in there like let me get the sides. It doesn't look good. For some reason. Our back in the day guys had like a little flip. in the front. Do you remember that? It was tasteful. It was graceful. Yes, it was classy. Then we went full jersey short. And I was still loving it. I was still in there.

Clean cut. And now today it's like, this is a mullet that you've refurbished. It's a backwards mullet. It's like, it's a backwards mullet. Is that making any sense? And like, what shape is your head? You're going to die. They're getting perms. No. They're getting perms in the front so that it gets like voluminous so they don't just have like a Justin Bieber cut, which by the way, again, still classy. It was still nice. It was still nice. Jesse McCartney, still nice and refined. If I had a teenage son right now, I would gouge my eyes out. So my nephew, I've been asking him a lot of questions because he asked me

questions all the time. And I, like, where's the food? I would just be that mom and bridesmaids where she's like, I picked up a blanket and I cracked it in a nap. Wait, we're going to be boy moms. No, I actually don't think I will be. I think I will be because Des is whole family's boys. And apparently genetically, that's a thing. We need to talk to St. Anthony. And let's be honest. I don't have enough feminine energy to push a girl out. I don't think I can do it. Thanks to Duncan for giving us these episodes. They've been so fun.
