Sup Gigglers. Gary, fix the Wi-Fi. Manifest that shit. We can't be managed. Hello, my gaggle of Gigglers. Page is still in Italia. I literally just got home from the Venice Film Festival. Ciao, Como Zeyte?

I had a bodyguard tonight. You love having a bodyguard. Yeah, I loved it. You love having... I'm normally your bodyguard. I said Giorgio. Come on, we're walking. Well, Armani really had a bodyguard,

and then like they just like sent him with me but at one point he was like sorry like my english isn't that good and i was like it's actually so good it's better than my italian and he was like what other languages do you speak i said oh no no i'm american oh europeans are so cool i only speak english they're like i dream in spanish and i and i sing in french was he hot here's the thing Giorgio was a good looking man, yes. But here's the thing about Italy. I just like, it's actually infuriating, specifically Venice. All the men are so good looking.

And I'm like, how did we have rat boy summer? You know? Like when there's these, like my favorite guy, my Michelle Maron, they all look like that. He's a dime a dozen here. A dime a freaking dozen. Okay. I'm like, what's, where are all the hot people in America, specifically the men?

I haven't seen a hot male actor other than maybe the love story guy recently. There's something in the bread maybe. It's got to be the gluten. It really has to be. People need gluten. It's actually infuriating. I looked at one guy. I was like, okay, so your job is to drive boats around?

Like, no, come to America. You could be... You could drive every girl around, baby. Anything. You could be anything you wanted. You love having a man just, like, paddle you around. That's where you should be. Well, you want to know what? Every time stairs were presented to me, Georgia would put his arm out. And I was like, yeah. Okay, Ariana Grande.

This is what I need, Georgio. Yeah, take my arm. He's holding you and you, like, put your head back just, like, at the end of Romeo Juliet. It was like, what if you carried me on to the boat? Hold me close. Whenever I have a bodyguard, which is very rare because I look like a bodyguard myself, we start chatting. Yeah. They don't need to be there. Like, I'm not.

No, I was like, no one knows who I am in Italy. I was like, this is going to be the easiest job we've ever had, buddy. But also I'm like, look, the gigglers, chill as fuck. Look, sometimes they get drunk, they get a little loud. Yeah. I'm loud. We can handle that. I'm like, will they outsmart you?

Yes. But that's funny for me to watch. Speaking of outsmarting. Good segue. Watch the Love Island reunion. Well, I had it on in the background and I was on my phone. I'm not a scholar. My college is done.

Someone disagree. My college. They said, we're out. Okay. I hate to sound like a boomer, but Gen Z is really, they have to stop. They were on there talking and like saying their points, but every saying, like common saying, they were getting wrong. Like one girl goes,

okay, well, if the shoe was on the other hand, it's like, obsessed, obsess. See, that's a thing.

My job in this podcast is to defend Gen Z and make their existence known because I love you all. And one thing about me, can't get a saying right for her life. Another girl goes, and if you want to die on that bed,

then that's your prerogative. I looked, I literally looked up from my phone. I go, Even I didn't think of that one. That's a beautiful thing about language in Americans. Yeah, we can't speak other languages, but we also will make up our own. I was like, I couldn't do it.

Honestly, I didn't really even finish it because they started to, the girls started to like really fight with each other. And I was like, guys, all these men suck. I can't believe you guys are even fighting with each other. Every single one of your partners is a loser. I heard that like one of the girls people liked in the first edit, but then the, reunion happens and everyone was like wait we don't fuck with her which is so unfortunate because he almost got away with it. And that's the game of reality TV baby wait

Kenan Thompson wait Kenan wait wait wait you got wait what's the show that he was all that but like what's the show he had like with Keenan Kenan and Cal yeah like who's Keenan who's Kel in this group you're I'm Kenan. Yeah, you're definitely Kenan. I'm definitely Keel.

Because Kel was like sassier, I feel like. Cal was an idiot. Wait, so tell them what happened. We like here on Amy Poller's podcast, she asks Keenan, like, what is making you laugh right now? And he said he loves watching like his friends succeed and his friends work. And he thanked Amy Poehler for putting on Paige and Hannah. He said it's by name. He didn't say like Gigli squat.

He said Paige and Hannah. It was crazy. I didn't say Hannah and Paige, but yes, he said Paige and Hannah. And you know what's funny? He named dropped us. No, no. No, no. He said our name so casually, like, as if he's like, you know,

Paige and Hannah, you know, I was hanging out all the time. I saw them last week. And the funny thing is that, like... We've never met him. I've never met him. But you want to know what? At Las Colteristas two years ago, he was sitting in the front row, and I got up to win Cool Girl Award.

And him and I have locked eyes at one point. Oh, and I felt it. So you go way back with Keenan. I said, I think Keenan and I just like times. You're long-lost friends with Keenan. Because my thing is, just speaking broadly, too, about the comedy community, it is still a boys club. No matter how successful you are as a woman, a bunch of boys will come together and still talk shit about your comedy. And then anything you post online, all the men who love good good are going to comment about how you suck and how all you do is talk about sex.

And then when a guy posts a sex video, people were like, this was an incredible bit. And I love how he thought of all. So for Keenan to be a male comic who's also on SNL, which is considered gold standard and like pretty prestigious. Not to mention, he's been on TV for 300 years and he's only 28. Yeah, he's been on TV for like three decades. I don't think he even knows. And maybe he does just like how beautiful that is for him to do for women in the arts. and women in STEM.

Like, because it takes one man to just, like, say something nice about a woman, and it makes everything more beautiful. Well, because men are inherently followers, where women are leader. No, seriously. Yeah. Men love taking orders from other men. Men love being on sports teams, where they're listening to another man, and then they hug other men.

Like, they love following. We like leading. So, yeah, it takes one. man to be like actually I think those girls are okay and then all of the sudden all the other men are like oh okay and but one thing I wanted to say though is you don't like name dropping is such a thing but you don't know when you're being named dropped I feel it in my bones you ever just have a twitch middle of the night you're like yeah I actually I actually know that there's some motherfuckers out there name dropping me that I that would make me vomit did you ever see a photo of like like a like people hanging out on Instagram and you're like I know they talked about me. Every day of my life. You're like, I know that I took up at least 30 minutes of this hang. This hang was 30 minutes and the PowerPoint was me.

That's when my ears rang. I go, what one of you fucking bitches? Why don't you text me? But you know what I would argue? And this Keenan thing made me realize that sometimes I'll get in my head because you think people hate you or they're talking bad about you. Like you're, you know, you'll wake up and you're like, is everyone mad at me? Yeah.

But what if you shifted that perspective, mental health moment? one of the week and you said what if there's people i don't even know who are talking good about me right now that's nice isn't that nice and keenan in that room he was and there was you guys we didn't bribe him we've literally like page made accidental eye contact yeah that's just i heard also like because i know people who know him that he is like the sweetest ever he seems it like a literal Angel. He really, I loved all that when I was little, but specifically his skits. Like, I always was so excited for Pierre S. Cargo. Like, I always thought that was the funniest skit of the whole show. So shout out to Keenan. We love you so much. Yeah, that was really nice. Also adding one more thing

about women, because I don't feel like we talk about women at all in the pod. What do you mean? All we do is talk about women. I was being sarcastic. Gloria Steinem died. I was going to say, Gloria Steinem has passed away one of the most incredible feminist of our time.

Yeah. And hopefully she's having a drink with Dolly right now. Sorry, my lips look so good right now. I'm literally talking about... Sorry, I caught a glimpse of my... Third-way feminism right now. And they'd also agree that my lip liner is superb. They also would agree.

You do look really fucking good. She had one quote that I thought was really interesting that I want to read to you right now. Sorry, I feel like you're in a college professor course on Zoom and you're like, don't want to listen. I'm not to go camera off for in a second. That's the energy that I'm giving you to. I'm like, I'm going to need you to focus for the next 10 seconds. Okay, it's Gloria Steinem said any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned. that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke.

That is really true. I was just going to say it reminds me of my firing, which we barely speak about every episode. You're firing. My firing. And how I said I wanted to do something else and be something else. And everyone really laughed at me. I actually can't wait for the Morgan Stewart pod to come out because I talked about you so much. because like what else do I have going on other than you're my friend?

And she like didn't know that you got fired. And so like I told her. Oh no. Did you have to explain it? She was like, she was like, so then did you leave after? And you're like, that's another thing. I go, I stayed for four more season. I had to get more revenge for my girl. I did it for my friend.

And I had work to do. I saw a quote recently because this used to be my kryptonite when I was like in my teens and 20s. Like if I wanted to break up with a guy, I would be like, okay, but the next girl he dates, like he's going to treat her so much better. And my mom would get so mad at me because she'd be like, that's like not a thing. Like, no, he's not. This guy's a loser.

And so I keep seeing on TikTok people being like, so what if he treats the next girl well? What if your next guy buys you a yacht and names it after you? It's so true. Like you can't worry about like when you want to break up with someone you have to remind yourself you know them you know who they are and if you don't want to be with them you have to go. That's why I hate having a dream about an ex. You've ever dreamed about an ex and it like puts them in such a good light and then you wake up and you're like no I couldn't get food to go down when I was around to me. I haven't dreamt about an ex in a really long time.

Oh, another thing they kept doing on Love Island, instead of saying take in, they kept saying took in. And that really pissed me off. Okay, that's where we're going to have to put the foot down. The literacy crisis is really, it's not good. Took in. Wait, I love how one person said it and everyone was like, oh, I love that word. I'm going to keep using it. No, I can't. I couldn't take it anymore. Did you notice you can rearrange your grid on Instagram?

Yes, but that's way too much admin for me. Like, I don't want that many options. Are you really happy about it? Have you scheduled an organizing day? No, I haven't stopped. The minute I post something new and it has a new color and I go, well, what if we brought this picture up from the archives? It's actually taken over my whole life. No, that's my word.

I'm not touching it. You know, I don't delve into grid aesthetic. And it's so easy to switch them around. Well, what do you think about Instagram changing their font? I don't really care about that because there was a day where, like, we had a home button. And then one day we just didn't. Things change. Wow.

Look at you. You used to be very bad with change. you're just this water sign just flowing through the world and now I'm like get it out I don't care actually Josephine me and Josephine have had such a lovely time together Josephine said um she was like do you ever feel like if you do something wrong do you ever feel like you're back in middle school and you're like getting in trouble which I used to feel like that all the time like I never wanted people to be mad at me because I'd be like oh my god am I in trouble same and I was like Like, it wasn't until my 30s that I had to, like, reiterate in my brain.

You're not in charge. No one is in charge of me. You want to yell at me for what? Like, you can't fire me. You can't. What are you going to do, call my dad? Like, okay. And so I literally said to her, I was like, Josephine, there's no one on this planet that can yell at you.

Fuck me. Oh, well, that's the thing. And this one girl did, like, a video about it, how we were talking about it. how we were talking about how our assistants are just so much more than assistant. Yeah. Assistance are real and it's a very important job. But like our girls, because they've been with us for so long, like Josephine's more than an assistant. Grace is the CEO.

And when people see Grace, they're like, is that your assistant? I'm like, gone to there. I'm like, what did you call her? Would you call her? One day Josephine texted me. She was like, hey, do you mind if I change my title to this? And I was like, yeah, I don't know. Oh, yeah.

She was like, creative, inspirational. project manager stylist i have to find what it is because it's there was a millennial time where everyone was like CEO of adventure creative operations director for page to sorbo and i was like fucking had josephine but that is she is yeah like josephine does all my creative like i think you should do this i think you should stand here what if you wore this like she really is my gen z can i just say something about giggly squad yeah and i'm not talking about about Daphne like I feel like Daphne it's still small but you've like you have a built out company gigry squad you guys it's three people when I tell you it's me page and

Grace and grace hasn't slept in years okay and we will do great people grace tried to take one vacation this summer one she goes guys I haven't taken a vacation this is my one vacation please leave me alone for this week and we said oh Okay. What if something happens? No, Grace had a family emergency in which she was like, are you guys okay? She's like, hey, I'm going to be off my phone for a couple hours. Make sure you stay alive.

We talk to people and they're like, okay, so who's your like CEO? Who's your head of operations? They start naming all these things. I'm like, blah, blah, blah, blah. Call Grace. You remember when they're like, can I speak to the manager? I'm like, you're looking at her. Okay.

Talk to me. Talk to her. Talk to her. But I honestly think the reason why Giggly Squad, hasn't evolved at all in a good way is because I think we've evolved We've been doing this since 2020 I hope we've evolved a smidge

We haven't like change is because I don't want to hire some random person And like teach them how to do what we do Like we are no I think sometimes people try to build their businesses too fast And this is not just in like creator I think in general And they hire a bunch of

of people and they try to grow and then you lose quality over quantity and that's our entrepreneur section of the week it's so exhausting getting to know someone oh actually we can't do interviews that's why we've never done anything i don't want to meet someone i can't i don't want to get to know any new people thank thank you for thank hi nice to me because also josephine knows like little tells about me that no one else would know. Like you would pick up on it, Grace would pick up on it and my mom. Like I can't re-teach that to someone.

We're going on six years. If you told me I could get an app, which is basically like having a personal trainer, I would have laughed. But honestly, Ladder is the closest thing I found to actually having a personal trainer and not having to go anywhere. Ladder is an expert strength training plan,

not a content library. These aren't influencer workouts or challenges. It's real people, real progressive programming designed by certified coaches. Your progress is tracked automatically and the app remembers your weights, reps, and sets. So you can see yourself getting stronger over time. And it costs less than $1 a day. That's elite level personal training for a fraction of what you'd pay in person. Ladder now also includes nutrition tracking at no extra cost. There's also real community behind it. Your team has a

group chat where your coach answers questions and members motivate each other. It's so much better than pretending you actually know what you're doing when you're watching workouts and you're just trying to mimic it. I like actually talking to a trainer, but not having to go anywhere or seeing anyone. Remove the guesswork with ladder and get a real coach in your ear telling you exactly what to do for every workout. No thinking. Everything is planned for you. And if you have an iPhone, head to ladder. Fit slash giggly and take a quick quiz to find your perfect ladder plan.

So I have to give a shout out because he is a silent

partner of Giggly Squad. As in like he doesn't know what's going on, but we bring him in when necessary. Yeah. And I had an outfit I was supposed to wear. And I put it on and we had a photographer and Des in the apartment. And Des was like, you're not fucking wearing that. And I'm like, okay. Why?

Because he thought it was ugly? Well, deep down, I knew it was a risk. And like, my risks don't always work out. And deep down, I actually didn't love it. But I also like was kind of told I had to wear it. And I'm like, Des, like,

I know, and he's like, that's not you. Like, it doesn't look right. Like, and I was, like,

loving that he was so passionate about my image, even though he's a straight man, so you have to question it. But, like, he was, like, talking from his heart. And then the photographer,

who is a gagler was like, I said, stop. Let me talk to him. And he looked at him and he goes, your husband's actually so right. And I'm so happy that he spoke up. And, like,

he really cares about you and protects you. Oh my God. That is so nice. And then afterwards, he was like, I really fuck with Des because of like how he spoke up about. And I'm like, we were actually going to view us open. Whenever my mom says something diabolical to me,

I am always thankful because I'm like, if you don't tell me, who's going to tell me? Exactly. I want yes men in my life. So Des calls my ass out. And I think that's so important. And yeah, does it hurt my ego sometimes? Yes. But is humility the most important thing in this world?

Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. I've been watching shit while you've been in Venice. We've had very different experiences. While you're on the gondola, I've been on the sectional, horizontal. Okay. Pastor's wife.

Yeah. One of the best documentaries I've seen in a while. Yeah, for sure. And I didn't see the last episode yet. But if there's a pastor involved, I'm watching. Oh, sorry, I'm going to FaceTime from Lois, who, by the way, is blowing up on TikTok. Have you seen? No.

Ginny just told a story about like stuff Lois has said and the gigglers found a video and now like She's an icon. And Jeannie was like, I love the Giggly Squad community. They're the nicest girls in the world. And I'm like, I know. It's crazy. So anyway, pastor's wife. Where do I begin?

There is a certain culture like it's like to date the quarterback. Like to date the famous guy. Like to date the. guy who makes a lot of money. There's a community where, like, dating the pastor means you're like, you're that girl. Yeah. Like, being the pastor's wife, like, you walk in church and you're like, oh, my God, paparazzi. Like, the pastor's wife is an it girl that everyone wants to be.

In another world, you were a pastor's wife. Totally. It's like being the first lady. What's it called? The first lady. Yeah. The first lady of the church. And some of these churches, it's like 50 people and it's a made up name and some narcissistic guy just yelling random thoughts that he has.

But that's their community, okay? But they're oddly all very sexual. Every single sermon that they were showing, this guy was like, your man is going to want to fuck everything. And it's your job to never say no to him. And he's going to have demons and he's going to want to fuck. And I'm like, I'm just here on a Monday trying to learn about. I'm like, I don't know. Every guy I've met after 37 can't really get it up anymore.

So, and they have issues. And what was crazy is, you know what we always say, like when you can't eat, when your hair starts falling out, like that, when you start having panic attacks, that's your body being like, I don't trust your mind anymore because it's clearly brainwashed. We're telling you you, you need to go. And this pastor's wife, by the way, she married a sweet man in the beginning. Yeah. Her first boyfriend was the sweet guy she met at church. Everything was great. And then she looked identical to the pastor's wife.

Yeah. Except much younger. Underage. And they start hooking up and they get married. And he's insane. No, he's one of the scariest people I've seen in a documentary in a while. And I think what makes it even scarier is that he's, like, living. like around town.

Like he just lives his normal. Like nothing. There's no charges. There's nothing. He is one of the most dangerous men because not only is he like stereotypically good looking. So people already are giving him the benefit of the doubt. But he also has charisma and power.

And there's so many men you see like that in Hollywood in comedy. And everyone fucking loves them because of what they're showing to the world. When realistically they're, they're um how do you say in french monsters monsters monsters so she i don't know the ending it's really sad the ending is very it's one of those documentaries where you get to the end and you're like and then what like and then what the fuck did everyone do about it and it's like we we couldn't do anything also like there's sex addiction is like a real thing and like It's not like, oh, my boyfriend looks at porn.

Like, this guy had a real sex addiction problem. Yeah. Wait, what is up with, like, people being like, I feel like it's also even in like Gen Z. Did you see that there was like a whole study about how Gen Z does not want to see sex scenes? Wait, so when people kiss, they put their hands over their eyes, they're like, no. I will watch a movie just because I know there is a sex scene and I want to see it. Millennials had a website where it would tell you when the boobs would come in every single movie.

It was like a website that said the where to see tips. I think it's really weird if you don't watch porn. I personally would never get upset if my man was watching porn. If I was like, hey, can we have sex? And he said, no, I'd rather watch porn. That's a problem. That's a problem. But like if he's away for the week.

and happened to watch porn and jerked off. Jerking, honey. My mind is healthy. He's going. Call me in 30 seconds when you're done. Like, I don't mean, they're not, you think they're sitting on there for two hours? No. Also, I would argue you guys should too, listening at home.

It's healthy. It's healthy. Understand your body. Also, watch some porn to understand, like, what are some moves pull out, you know? Or just like, have a moor. I think it's really healthy to have a moment with yourself. I don't understand people. Like, I would never let my boyfriend watch porn.

I'm like, I will say. I will say. There have been. I don't want him watching blonde porn. I don't want to watch blonde porn. Okay, I draw the fucking line somewhere. Yeah, that's crazy. That's insane. That's divorce.

There have been times where, like, I've asked boyfriends, like, when are you watching it, though? Yeah, because that's fascinating. Where am I? in the house. I've never seen a mandrick off, but you guys claim you do it all day long. Hannah, why have I never walked in on a man jerking off? That is my, I would love that. I like, sorry. How are they so good at hiding that? You know what I think they're doing? I think they're doing it. And take a poll at home, ladies, because I think they're doing it in the shower. Okay. I think they're doing it when they shower because it's easy clean. There's no cleaner.

Oh, smart. It's loud. Like, no one's coming in. Yeah. And that's when I think they're doing it. Do I think they're laying in bed lighting a candle? Like, having a night? No.

Yeah, no. The way we're jerking off is different. I think that this pastor who was, like, making her have sex four times a day, I'd be like, hey, hey, do it yourself. He made her get on testosterone. I feel like that alone should be illegal. No, that's fully illegal. Do you feel like there's like a real divide on TikTok right now with like men and women?

Like this documentary, the court case happening, the good, good commercial. Like I just feel like there's a lot of things recently where people are very split and it's men and women. There's a lot of tension and I thought my hand on the street videos was going to bring everyone together. But I guess it didn't work. Why? What were your hand on the street video? When I was asking men about like tampons and peeing, I just thought we could like laugh and like understanding. each other and like close to one another but in a silly way yeah and that's what i tried to do in my

stand-up shows like making fun of the men but being like and it's okay it's okay to be stupid to be stupid also recently did you see tom brady like jumped off a yacht but he was like holding his nose he like pinched his nose and everyone was like we lose respect when i do it i'm protecting protecting my nostrils. When he does it, I'm like, take your Super Bowl rings and throw them in there too. There's no male celebrities right now that are, like, impressive to me. I could name one male celebrity that, like, I genuinely love Jonathan Bailey. Okay, he's gay.

Yeah, Jonathan Bailey, number one, Nicole Beyer was like, all these leading men nowadays, she's like soft. Whatever happened to Russell Crow? She's like, we had Russell fucking Crow. now we have wait this is so bad mean stephanie were texting about this because Stephanie and I like when we were in high school would connect on like shows that we loved and she was like massive one tree hill fan and I loved Gilmore girls and like so we would like the guys in that show and so we were texting recently about the new amazon show and she was like

maybe it's just because we're getting older but like the guys are just like not that hot and And I was like, Stephanie, I felt the same way. Like, when we were in high school and middle school, our leading men in TV shows, I feel like were, you were like, that guy's not in high school. He's so fucking hot. Well, also back then, like, what, did they just cast more, like, actual men, like, not like 21-year-olds? Because, like, you know, like Vigo Mortensen?

He's always been, like, 42. Who? Vigal Mortensen. What the fuck is that? Okay. Well, all of a sudden, that's you. You can have a fun night. Um, Jason Statham.

I think they used to cast older. Yeah. Because I remember being like, that's a grown-ass man. Yeah, because typically people that are playing high school kids are like 25. But even like Joaquin Phoenix, like Janio Craig. Like these are like hot men. Sorry, I'm looking at a list right now. Just naming all the James Bond.

Name a man. Yeah. But like Johnny Depp. He fixed me out. Yeah. I mean, obviously. But like back then, that was. was like a just like a beautiful hot man you know what it is nowadays they don't they've never been

looks maxing harder but they've never been looks maxing weaker no they've never been trying harder have you bar dem don't get me started egress alba don't get me started denzel these are men these are men denzel is a is a legitimate he's god like i feel like if something happened and denzel was like look guys actually i am god i'd be like yeah kind of called that calling Colin Farrell, you and McGregor. Yeah, like, there's no, um, there's no bad boys. Like, Colin Farrell was like a, like, I feel like he was like, like Mark Wahlberg. He was arrested.

Yeah, like Robert Downey Jr. Yeah, like, where are the drug problems? The closest we have is Barry Keoghung, and he was like, the internet was mean to me, and he stopped posting. They're soft these days, the men. I did watch, however. The Ray Gun documentary. It's out? Did that cross your desk?

No, what is it on Amazon? It's out. On Amazon? No, Netflix. Oh, I'll watch that tonight. It's fucking incredible. Now, my two cents is, first of all, you love her.

Look, she's quirky. She's quirky. Every time I watched it, I was like, I thought it was myself dressed up in the outfit. I really look, like, weirdly close. Do you love someone that beats to their own drum? I do. But I do have to say, maybe similar to me, she has a confidence to her that I was like, okay, the best part of.

Can point it. I was like, is this what people think about me when I'm. Oh, isn't that the worst feeling? When you see someone do something, you're like, I think people think I'm like that. That is really the worst. I go, wait a second. but the best part of the documentary that no one knew about her is she has

the most adorable husband that I would argue is a bit of an enabler where he's like he's Australian I can't do Australian accent but he's like she's doing high art like she's incredible like I was like would it be insane if she made this like Australian he's like it's like every second

he's like she's amazing but he was the original B-boy and then she's just like an academic who fell in love with it. And she did it for a long time, but not full time. And there was a legit qualification. And she did it. And she legitimately won it.

But like her style is like, it's a weird kind of style. And then she started, she was like, they're like, you're going to the Olympics. And she's never been in a gym before. She like doesn't have a coach. She has like a year to prepare for it. And she just like doesn't know what to do. And she's at the Australian Olympic gym just like state. ending there with all these other like full time athletes and what's crazy about her story is that

she started getting like panic attacks because she like knew something bad was going to happen because she felt like something was off and she started to do a couple tournaments and she was like scoring really badly so it's not like this wasn't a surprise like she knew that she was not going to do well okay and but what happened is it was the third round in the Olympics. So the first and second round, I guess she did horribly, but like not, she didn't embarrass her whole country, like, with a viral meme. And she told her therapist, she was like, what's the worst that going to happen?

Like, the whole country, the whole world. And she's like, that's not going to happen. So her husband was like, you got to end down to ban. You got to do something crazy. Pull out those, like, random moves we practiced. and it was like to reflect upon like the culture of Australia she did like a swimming motion like there were like even the sprinkler is apparently invented in Australia there was like nuance to it that is not important sprinkler was invented so she said she gets off the last round she lost all of them nine zero oh the press the press people were like hey do you want to take a break or do you want to like go to press and she's like I'm on like dopamine let's go let's go let's just just like do the press.

It's almost like, by the way, there's like some videos going around. She's like, it's all good, whatever. And she kept thinking he was going to die down. And it just like got stronger. But it started very fun. Like it started people being like, this is hilarious. This girl's hilarious. This is funny.

But then it started to take a dark turn where people started researching into it being like that her husband was part of the qualifying committee, which apparently was actually false, but it went around and everyone talked about it. Joe Rogan talked about it and they were like, she's a scam artist. So she's like, then shit started to get scary because I was getting accused of like fraud.

Oh my God. And the husband's like, I'm not a part of the committee. Like this is not a thing. But people just ran with it. It's kind of like the cold play people. Like that lady came out and was like, we're both single. Yeah, this is insane.

like I'm separated like we're all separated what I love about these documentaries is that reminds you that like people aren't just a hashtag like she's a human and she had to like disappear and like hide for a long time

and look I don't think she's a particularly gifted break dancing artist I'm just going to be blunt yeah just be honest but you love her passion even her parents were laughing at like they never thought she'd be an Olympian.

They never even thought she'd be a dancer. Well, she's not. I, at the end, she's, oh, I get chills. She's like in Taipei and she's like, I'm going to dance for the first time since the Olympics. And it shows her like get back with a community and like with these like artistic kind of dancers. And she's, and I was really just so impressed by her. I love seeing people who get like taken down. and then are able to be like in spite of all that,

I'm going to do what I want to do. Do I think she probably is other things that she'd be really good at? Yes, and maybe she should explore them. However, like, she loves dancing, and I think she hopefully can be able to, like, turn this into a positive. America loves a comeback story.

Because the truth is she didn't do anything wrong. Right, like, I didn't realize that she caught. Like, I didn't realize she went through the obstacles and won and then was sent to the Olympics. Like, okay, so where's the committee that was like, yeah, you're good enough to go? I also think with these random sports, they haven't figured that out. So, like, she was a victim of the system that wasn't prepared for, like, stuff like this to happen, which is for the talent to have such a wide range.

I didn't realize that you can just, like, lobby to get new sports into the Olympics. Yeah, who are you calling? Yeah, like, how do you even go about that? Like, who, who says, okay, pickleball is now in the Olympics? Yeah, like, what qualifies it? And, like, does every country have to agree? Like, is there a committee that they bring it to? And you have to, like, plead your case on why you think this sport should be in the Olympics.

And then does every country get to try out for it? Honestly, breakdancing is cool. It is an art, though, so it's, like, super subjective. But it's so cool. I feel like any type of dancing is sport. Like dancers are, oh my God, do you ever, like, come across the ballet dancers on TikTok? I saw a black swan. Holy shit.

Those girls are working. Well, then I argue should competitive cheerleaders be in the Olympics? But then this is a bigger problem with the Olympics because we're sports podcast, so I will talk about it. She's told she has to train for a year, but she doesn't have money. So she has to like work during the day. Her husband had to work two jobs for her to be able to like be in the gym enough. Because like there's no money behind it. Right.

It's just for like endorsements. For pride. For country pride. But yeah, one of the the bee girls was like. For justice. Justice and world peace. One of the bee girls was like my I got really mad when she did the sprinkler. I thought it was fucking disrespectful to what we do.

And she like called her out. She was like, how the fuck could you do the sprinkler at the Olympics? And her, wait, and Raygun literally looks at her and was like, do you know that it was invented in Australia and I was doing it to like bring, talk, what's the word, like bring love to Australia? This sounds like an SNL skit that Keenan wrote. Bring out the dancing lobsters.

No, truly. I've been on reality TV. I've heard some of the most ridiculous. Ridiculous arguments in my time. This is my far. The craziest thing I've ever heard. How dare you do the shopping cart at the Olympics? You're embarrassing us.

But then she told the bee girl, like, I wanted to do moves that were from us. It's a breakdancer girl. Sorry. You would know if you were in with the breakdancer community, which I am from watching the Netflix documentary. Sorry. I. but also then the B girl you're like say B girl one more time beat or B B dash girl the letter B dash girl you're so jealous you're not a B girl you're so don't fucking

I just feel like that is actually a very cool name it's very cool I'm not thinking breakdancing girl B girl also they have B boys not only and what I love about the B girls is it feels like stand up where it's this like male dominated thing and they'd be like can girls even dance can girls even do power moves and then obviously the girls could fucking dance not us some girls there are girls out there who can not but but the bee girl at the end was like I looked it up and she was right the sprinkler was created in Australia and I realized I didn't fully understand what she was trying to do so they tried to make it then like that she actually was like kind of an artistic genius but and that didn't truly hit with me.

But the truth is she's fucking human. And like Gloria Steinem said, women should be able to be human beings. How old is she? I think in her 30s. Yeah, like think about how many things men just do and we, like, do badly

and we just accept. Yeah. I don't know. Like our whole, all the systems. Every system. Name a system. They tried it. They suck up. it all of them they're so bad i also i love someone who like gets passionate about something like imagine yeah like being like wow breakdancing is cool i'm gonna like become it like that's so cool of

her hannah you did that with stand-up comedy and i did that with wearing dresses outfits wait i'm at kendall jenner tonight how did we wait so long to bring this up well we had a important topics. Did she say anything about me and Haley? We didn't talk about you guys. We had our own, we had like our own thing happening and she had to say. You bring me up in front of everyone except Kendall Jenner. Cool.

It's looking strategic. She had a side part. I had a side part. Is it Hallie? We're not sisters. We're twins. She was so, she was lovely. I mean, we were at an Armani beauty event for Venice Film Festival and we did like a little

video together and she was just like a normal. normal ass girl. She's tall though, right? She's, I felt like a hip squeak. She's so beautiful. She's so tall. She's just so nice. It's so funny because, like, I just feel like society is so her and Vittoria, you know,

Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend. She's famous model. She just, like, does all, like, the Dolce and Gabana perfume ads. Mm-hmm. I feel like people are, like, you would see these girls and, like, the majority of society would be like, I bet they're so mean. And then you meet them and you're like, you might be one of the nicest people I've met. Like she truly was so nice and down to earth.

Honestly, everyone I met this weekend was so lovely. Like Nina Dobrev. So nice. I tell you we've never crossed paths with her and I feel like, well, now she's in her single era so she's like socializing. Well, she said that to me. She goes, we've met. And I was like, we actually have it.

And she was like, no, I feel like we've met. met. And then she looked at me and she goes, we look like sisters. And I was like, I didn't want to say anything, but I also think that we resemble each other a little bit. She was like, no, we really do. And so she was really lovely too. I mean, Vampire Diaries was a big part of my life. Mm. Mm-hmm. And she's shooting stuff right now where she had to go blonde or something? She just filmed a movie. And I think it's set in like the 70s. She was talking about like the wardrobe. I don't know. She didn't say she had to go blonde, but she just wrapped. She said like a week ago. So you socialized a lot. No, honey, I socialized. Honey, how many days do you need off now?

Labor Day weekend is Paige DeSorbo weekend. Okay, Kitty has no idea what she's in for. She's going to be locked in the bedroom for four days. She's going to be so happy. Okay. Speaking of Kitty. Yeah, I love to. I was scrolling Instagram and I saw this guy who's spray paint. painted people's pets and I was like well this is exactly what I need right now spray paint oh a piece of paper I thought there was a man running about town finding your pets on the street spray painting that I go that's got to be illegal it's gonna be some type of crime spray painting on like clothes so I was like hey I have three cats well there's more but let's start with three I said it's butter, Daphne, and Boots.

Is it like, wait, is it like reality TV where like you had your own storyline at the wedding but I was doing it from my storyline? I think so.

Also, like, were we in like the same realm in our sleep? Like we both were or we're in like different timelines of the same. Like, it's not like it's one thing if I always dream about your wedding. But I haven't dreamed about your wedding, really? And I just never dream. Like I never remember my dream. You know when it's like, it's the like the movie of the night like sometimes you have like a lot of little dreams this was like

Someone literally told me they saw Angel and they were like, Angel said that I was depressed. And I was like, welcome to a meeting with Angel. Yeah. Talk about someone who's not a yes person that we need to get on our team, like on our actual payroll. Oh, you want someone to make it up to you? She's not telling it like it is.

You don't want yes men on your team? Call Angel. Truly. I've been feeling really good though because no, I didn't clean my room, but I had like a little bit of of an episode where like you know when your computer just like isn't working right but like you know it's your fault because like I have every single app well you also probably have 800 tabs open 800 tabs on and I said you know what I'm killing the whole family and I'm not restoring the tabs oh no I just was like whatever tabs these were fuck not important I deleted all of them I felt like I felt like I took the best poop of my life i felt i felt free i felt light i felt open i now feel like i can like do things i couldn't do before i went to the gym this morning decluttering decluttering

Yeah, I just don't open it. And if it's something that like I can't respond to right now, I'll put a star next to it.

And that needs, that's the. second thing we have to hit because one thing about me if it's free i love downloading an app well sometimes

Shout out, Rocket Money. Clean it out. And we need that for people in our lives sometimes.

When are you flying home, the gigglers need to know. Tomorrow, I can't wait. Okay, we can't do this long distance thing any longer. It's really stressing me out. I'm so excited. I miss my kitty so much. The kitty's been hanging out with the dog while I'm gone. Okay.

And they're doing okay. And I set up a furbo in like one specific room because kitty always goes in there. and I set up the furbo, I get a little notification, and it's kitty walking into the room, and I'm like, she's so cute. I love when she gets an entrance. They're like, she's coming. She's like, kitty's walking in, and so I'm watching Kitty walk in. And then all of the sudden, there's a dog behind her.

Kitty goes, finds her spot where she wants to lay, lays down. The dog watches where she's, like, going, sees her lay down, and then he lays in front of her, like to guard her. she is a security guard then she rolled over on her stomach i go you little slut she loves she like loves him now it's crazy to watch them like to get i'm like how is this my life she's so your cat though because she tested him for like eight months like she made his life a living hell for eight months she warmed up to this dog last week she's like i still don't trust you no that is actually a part of my personality that is bad. I will test you at any moment. I love baiting. I'm like, let's just see what he says.

Like, sometimes you get bored. Have a little fun. No, sometimes you have to do, you have to run experiments in your own home. Have a little whimsy. Yeah, you have to see. You have to see like what could the possible outcome be. Also, I hate, I hate teasing, but I think it's just fun. I still let the gigglers know. We're always cooking up something. And my favorite thing to do with the gigglers is to do something that they, don't expect. Like, remember when we wrote a book and everyone thought it was a bit, they were really, very funny. There's no possible way.

Sonny, we have stuff we're doing that we'll be coming out shortly that I think I'm so excited for the gigglers to be like, I never thought that they would do this. Wait, what are we talking about? This is a you project. Okay, please don't lump me into this. I'm just going along with it contractually. Okay. This has been a labor of love that you have.
