Episode Date: July 17, 2025

This week we did a bonus episode with ‪@dunkin where the gigglers called in with their juiciest summer drama, most urgent questions, and more. #sponsoredbyDunkin Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm so sorry. Since I'm back in America, I'm so sorry. Okay, but there's nothing I love more than air conditioning and a Dunkin's refresher. Oh my God. One, because there's so much ice and we need ice to live. But it is truly like the perfect cool down. I also, it reminds me of like being a little kid

when you're running around the playground and you've never been more thirsty in your life because your parents like forgot about you. Yeah. And then you finally get like a refreshing drink and you're like, that's me with my Dunkin' Refreshers. Also, I just realized you can like customize them, not me nerding out on my Dunkin' Refreshers,

but I know you like sparkling. So I got you the sparkling, actually that's cherry peach. You didn't get me the sparkling, you accidentally got sparkling. No, I swear to God, I got you the sparkling, got me the peach mango. Okay, fine. And then I thought that was mine.

Peach mango, yeah. It's a whole thing. We had a whole thing. But we're here and we're so excited. We're doing these bonus episodes because we love the Collins. Yeah. Like hearing the Giggler's voices

and knowing that they're real. We're the new Delilah. What's that reference? Remember when we were little and it was on the radio and it was like, ask Delilah. And she had like? Remember when we were little and it was on the radio and it was like, ask Delilah. And she had like a really soothing voice. I think she's still around.

I don't want to like, Oh my God. Hypothetically murder her. I never listened to that. I just listened to the fan where they go, what's up? This is Mike Bercurio. Who's calling in from Staten Island, the Mets.

We're so different. We're different. So this is Delilah. Grace picked all the questions that you guys submitted and some gossip. Yeah. So we haven't heard any of the questions and she's gonna lay it in on us.

She's just gonna rapid fire. Okay, let's go with our first. And Chris, Chris is also involved. We give credit where credit is due. Hello, hello. Our first caller. Hey girls, now that Paige is in her single girl summer era, I was wondering what your guys' favorite bit is when you're meeting a guy.

It could be a fake accent, a fake life story, just anything we love when you commit to a bit. I feel like I haven't committed to a bit in a while with like meeting a guy because my life... I don't need to. I don't need you. I don't need you. Here you go, because I looked in the mirror.

Because I'm living in truth and Manic himself has become a bit. Some girls like love the accent thing, which honestly it's very freeing. But then like if you start to like him, you're like, oh no, how do we get out of this? I've started this off with a lie. Yes, but also keep it on his toes.

Yeah, I feel like my bit recently is just like not speaking. Honestly, like people need to learn from your silence. Yeah, less is more. Were you silenced or silenced? And I've realized that like dating roles, they will come. Yeah, I'm one of them. They are mosquitoes. We They will come. Yeah, I'm all about them. They are mosquitoes.

We are the flame. Yeah. Is that the quote? Close enough? They are moths, we are the light. They will come. Honestly, that's so true though. Girls are lights, men are moths.

But also, my bit is I like to fuck around with the friends. When I say fuck around, I don't mean like hooking up. It's more like, it's easier for me to joke around with someone who I'm not physically attracted to. So I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm getting called back. So if she's talking to you and she's laughing, she thinks you're hideous. It's so, have you ever seen those TikToks?

How many guys are there like, I thought me and Hannah had a really good rapport. Did she just thought you were butt ugly? Do you know those TikToks where the girl's like me when I'm not attracted to a guy and she'm like, I thought me and Hannah had a really good rapport. Did she just thought you were butt ugly? Do you know those TikToks where the girl's like me when I'm not attracted to a guy and she's like, hey, nice to see you. How are you? And it's like me when I'm attracted to a guy and you're just mute. Being so weird. And you walk away.

So I like, you know, someone's wearing a Yankees jersey. I say something like, you know, you throw in what you know. It's so funny you say that because I was going to say you have such good like male references that almost like hook them because they're like, wait, how does she know that? And you're like, I'm a woman in sports. I always thought that I was dabbling on Pick Me,

because I love sports. Yeah, but that, no, but you love sports. But I use it, wait, first of all, it's true, and I use it for female empowerment. Can't be pick me if it's true. It's true, so when I know about sports, I'm able to get it in with any of the guys and immediately grab their attention.

My problem now, obviously I'm not dating, but I find myself, because I do so much crowd work comedy, if there's a man in my vicinity, I'm like, so I do so much crowd work comedy, if there's a man in my vicinity, I'm like, so what do you do for work? And it starts normal. And then they say something and I'm like, consultant is not a real job.

And then I'm making fun of them. I'm like, what's with this outfit? And they're like, we're at a work dinner. I have to stop myself. Cause like that's just where my brain goes. And my friends are like, what's going on? Your brain immediately goes to making fun of them. I'm the same way.

I'm just like, oh, that was actually so mean. I didn't even mean that. Just who told you to wear those shoes? Or you're just stating facts. You're not even trying to be funny. You're just being honest. So I honestly think going in though with taking it not seriously when you're dating

Will take you far because it's not serious when you take it so serious where after every bad date You're like walking around the street being like But so what would you've all done? Yeah, but like it's not that serious. I make it a rom-com People are dying Next question This one grace is gonna read cuz it was written in I was going into my freshman year of college Kim, people are dying. Next question. Next. Okay. This one Grace is gonna read cause it was written in.

I was going into my freshman year of college and my sister and I drove down in one car and my parents followed us in another car. Fast forward, my sister and I arrive at my college. My parents finally meet us and my dad says, "'Page, I'm so sorry, but none of the clothes you packed made it here.' Turns out the thing they packed on top of the car

opened on the turnpike and all of my clothes fell out. All of my clothes just sprinkled all over the turnpike. Just a few short weeks later, not only did I need to break up with my boyfriend, I also kindly had to tell him I couldn't return any of his clothing because they blew away. Are you okay? No.

Are you okay? No. She's like shaking. No, I could cry. That would bring me to actual, I'd have to be committed. Well, first I'd double homicide my mom and my dad. They'll go together. They'll be fine. Because there's no self-awareness whatsoever in that car.

No self, not a rear view mirror check at all. I'm more concerned that the dad doesn't know how to drive. You didn't one time check. Check your mirrors. And see that something was blowing off the roof of your car. Greg taught me that, check your mirrors. Also, God forbid a sundress hits the car behind you,

they can't see. It's the whole turnpike exposed. And I was like, what? Also, I feel like at one point were they like, oh shit, there's clothes everywhere. Should we stop and try to get the clothes back? Or did they just arrive and go, that's weird. Yeah, what are the logistics with the parents?

Yeah, I feel like there's missing parts to the story and they just, maybe they hated your clothes. This is something my friends would have done. Been like, oh no, all your clothes disappeared. No, I need to do something nice for this girl because I'm, like also like you're a freshman in college. Do you know how many going out tops she probably ordered? Oh my God.

They're all gone. Well, clearly she ordered a lot because they didn't fit in the trunk. No, this makes me sad. This is you going to college. So what is the question? What does she do? I mean, you have to move, change your name.

You have to start over. Well, the good news is that you broke up with your boyfriend. Yeah. So let's. Yeah, let's rejoice for that. Let's rejoice. You're going to college, you're single.

I think you just have to, you have to reframe it and you have to think, and who, what is the style that I want to be in college? Because you're starting fresh, you're starting anew. You have to. You know what happened to me at a young age? I got my first actual earrings. I think it was like, not Tiffany,

but it was one of those, it was nice. Like my first ever nice gift. Nice pair of earrings. And the first day, I lost it in the drain. Of course. Of course. And in that moment I said, I don't deserve nice things. And I said, you know what?

Happiness does not come from Tiffany's. Materialistic things. So maybe this was a sign from the universe saying, you are still valuable even if you don't have your clothes. You know what my mom says? Don't love anything that can't love you back. And I said, mom, have you ever seen my vintage Chanel? Get a grip, woman. get a friggin' grip.

There is something though about losing things that is so bad, like you're like, if I lost this from a man to like your wallet, you're like, I'll never survive, and then you realize you do. It upsets me because I never lose things, so when I do lose something, I'm so mad at myself, because I'm like, this is not you.

See, our family, we lose everything every day. Yeah. And there's a freeing-ness to it because I say, where's my torso? I don't know. And I don't care. We lost it. We lost it.

And you know what we have? I was going to say our brains, but we don't always have them. No, I lose that all the time. Lose my mind. Lose your mind. So this is a learning lesson for you. I'm, message us, we'll see if we can get you some stuff. Yeah, I need to help her out.

I think it, but the meat and potatoes of it is you're starting a new stylistic journey. You're starting a new capsule wardrobe. You know what? Look at it that way. You're investing in pieces that you actually love and you've gotten rid of all the mishmash. That is freeing.

I love that perspective shift. Also, maybe that high school style is not who you are in college. Maybe this was like a sign from the, they were like, hated it, reinvent yourself. Yeah, the universe is like, we hate the aesthetic. Sit back, who is that dream girl you wanna be that's dressed like her?

Yeah. I feel like your dressing and dressing in general is a form of manifestation. Totally, dress for the job you want. That's why I'm wearing a bra outside my shirt. Okay, Grace, which we have next. Hey, Hannah and Paige. First off, I love you guys.

I love getting to giggle with you every Tuesday. It's my favorite day of the week. So my fiance and I just moved in together and he lived alone before I lived with a roommate. But I wanted to see what advice y'all had for people moving in together for the first time. What are some things you wish you knew before moving in with boyfriends? things you wish you had done, anything you got, I wanna hear it. Thanks. Wait, I love her accent.

I'm the worst person to ask this to. You don't ever wanna move in with anyone. Right when it gets to that point, I say- Even your children. I say, ooh, gotta go. I say, ooh, gotta go. Gotta scram. Well, I famously moved in with a guy from Craigslist

and then started dating him. And it was like before of us. A classic. I love moving in with a guy because you immediately know if this is gonna work. Yeah. Because there's so much you can get away with and hide when you're not living with them.

But then when you live with them, like everything's out in the open. My advice is to be super upfront about what you want and what you need, because if you don't stand up for yourself, six months in, you'll be like, I can't believe you can do this. Yeah, I think you have to identify

the red flags going into it. If I'm about to move in with someone and he wants 50-50 space, we're probably not long-term partners. Because then that trickles into other things that he would want 50-50, and probably not long-term partners. Like, because then that trickles into other things that they like, he would want 50-50 and it's just like, it's not my vibe. No, you're right.

I want a man that like, when I'm gonna move in with him, he's like, I'll burn all my stuff. Like, I don't need to even bring it with me. Yes, yes. And I moved into Dez's place during COVID and he let me get a dumpster. Like a full dump truck. And I was like, we're getting rid of everything. We're getting married.

And then I literally was like buying candles. Like it was real nesting. It was crazy. Cause I've never bought candles for myself. So I don't know who I was trying to be. But I do think it's fun to curate a life for you both, giving him his little space. But you also get to see does he enjoy you styling things?

You really do bond in a way, it's beautiful. Or you start to wanna murder each other. I think the signs are there, you just have to trust them. Some things to anticipate. Temperatures, do you like to sleep in a freezing icebox like me? Or do you like it lukewarm like Dez who's crazy but he loves me so he lets me do icebox.

Does he make a comment every time he goes to bed and goes, hey, I wanted to Walt Disney myself tonight. Yeah, you're like, here's an extra blanket. We're having fun. Does he go to sleep with a hoodie on sometimes? Yes, I don't give a fuck. We're reframing perspective. Exactly, that's what this episode's about.

Also, the toothpaste. These are things that you'd never think of when you meet a guy. Is he pushing from the bottom? Yeah. Is he pushing from the top? Is he, after he puts it on, is he getting rid of the extra stuff on the top?

And putting it back together or not? Is he putting it back in the drawer? Is he leaving it out? These are things that cause divorce. Yeah, it's the day to day little things. You got me that. Exactly. When he shaves his face. Does he rinse the sink out?

Does he try and it just, it was too difficult for him? Where does he leave his shoes? Does he leave it in a place where you could tear your ACL? Have you seen that thing on TikTok where it's like men doing like weaponized incompetence? No. Where like if you ask a guy to do something and he like purposely does it bad or like wrong

because he doesn't wanna actually do it, but it's like the easiest thing ever. And it's like little things like living together where it's like, can you just like put your towel in the thing? It's like, I don't know, like you do it so much better. Okay. And like that I can't. That's me with my mom. Right, because she birthed you, you do it so much better. Okay, and that, I can't. That's me with my mom.

Right, because she birthed you, you came out of her womb. No, but also moms are amazing. No, but that's what it is, you want a mom, I'm not your mom. Exactly. So I feel like going into it, you know if your boyfriend is like that

and that I could never do. Not saying, oh, I wouldn't pick up after him once in a while, but like I'm not for high, I'm not your maid. I also will do that to him just to let him know. That I'm- That's 50-50. Yeah, that I'm not your maid, you know? Like, oh, you want me to make coffee?

It's gonna be bad. Yeah. Yeah. But what's funny is I'm pretty bad with like making the bed nice. Yeah. Like I just convinced myself like I can't do it. But then my friends were visiting last weekend

and I need to make the bed. And all of a sudden you were Martha Stewart. I took like 20 minutes making this bed and I was like smoothing out every single. You're all of a sudden like in the Navy. And Des like, he was like, you've never. Yeah, you're like, I could bounce a quarter off this thing. You like ironed the sheet.

He was like, who did this? And I was like, I don't know, a fairy. Yeah. But don't look for me to do it again. Oh, side note. I got green tea in mine, in my Decker Refresher. Okay. You can get green tea as an option.

You could get lemonade. You could get sparkling. It's actually really nice. And I really am into the peach mango right now. Yeah. I also got less concentrate because I don't always like it too sweet. And Paige is the peach cherry with sparkling. Keep sending us your stories at giggly summer.com.

I'm 27 and living in Boston now. This summer is my 10-year high school reunion. The idea of going makes me want to throw up, but my best friend is going and I'll already be home visiting my parents that weekend, so I'm out of excuses. Do I go, do I lean in, or do I stay far, far away and let the past stay in 2015 where it belongs? far away and let the past stay in 2015 where it belongs.

You love a reunion. Okay, but I actually haven't been to one yet. Why? Because my 10 year was COVID, which I wasn't actually going to even go to my 10 year because I was like, I'm not where I want to be yet. I'm not where I need to be yet. So I was going to go, my 15 is this year. I actually don't even know if they planned anything for it, but I will go.

In your gut, you know. Like if your gut is saying don't go, I wouldn't go. And if your gut is like, and like what's the worst that can happen? Then I would say go. Also like everyone feels the exact same way. Everyone's thinking the exact same thing you are. Everyone's just worried about themselves.

Yes. Also, there's so many variables to this. Some people had really horrible high school experiences. If it's gonna bring all that back, don't go. Or is it a little exposure therapy to see people that you thought they were better than you and now, you know, they hate their children and they are in multiple, multiple level marketing schemes.

Yeah. So it could be fun. And also like, it's just not that big a deal because you're not gonna see them for like another five years. And also remember, you can leave. Like you could literally walk in and be in there for a second, get through like the bouncer at the bar

and turn around and leave. My thing is like, if you're single, I have like a rom-com in my head of you like seeing a guy that was like nerdy in high school and now he's like took his glasses off and now he has a jawline and you're like, wait, I've loved you this whole time. And he's like, you were nice to me

when everyone else was mean to me. I just wrote a whole fucking movie there. Okay, let's call Maddie McConnag, I guess that sounds amazing. See, I love that. Oh yeah, cause in the 90s it was always the girls that were like nerdy and then got hot from taking off their glasses.

I think we should reverse it. And it's like, she was pretty, while having glasses on. But anyway, we digress. Honestly, glasses don't make you ugly. Let's stop shaming people with glasses. Now it's cool. Yeah. Now Paige and I wear glasses. All the time.

For press appearances that we have to get respect in. I went to like a sketchy New York City high school who like, there's like a Facebook page somewhere that occasionally they're like, hey, we're all getting together in this loft somewhere. And I'm like. It's so New York City. I know. Like they'll be like, oh yeah, someone's garage is open

and one of the guys is gonna be DJing. Ours is always at a bar with a name, Saloon, you know. Oh my God. So I think trust your gut. Trust your gut and if you don't go, it's not a big deal. Not a big deal at all. We love not going to things. Yeah.

And we've never missed out on anything. No, and I've never had FOMO. Never. Thank you, Duncan, for fueling all this chaos with great questions and keeping us refreshed because it's hot out today. Don't forget to share all your summer fun with us at gigglysummer.com.
