Sup gigglers. Gary, fix the Wi-Fi. Manifest that shit. We can't be managed. I feel like we're doing a debate. Yeah, that's, yeah. My argument is, you guys, what is up my granite stone gigglers? I was in bathroom.

My God's spire right before this. Sitting at this table, I don't know why I feel like Jane Fonda. Like, girls, like, women look at each other when they're speaking. They face each other. What do you think about those like intimacy rules for couples where they're like before you go to sleep you should stare at each other for 30 minutes and don't say anything. One time I dated. Yeah, it's called marriage. One time I dated a guy and you made me go to.

What's it going to? Therapy? Yeah. School? I don't know. I was trying to think of couples counseling. Stop my lip. I can't. Anyway. And one of her like exercises one time and I think it was the moment that.

I was like, this guy is not for me. She was like, turn all the lights off and like for 30 minutes lay in bed and like stare at each other. And I was just like, no. Can I have a hot take? Yeah. If you're under 27, you should not be going to couples therapy. Get a new man. I actually have an even hotter take.

Not to outdo you. But I think going to couples counseling or therapy, even like before you're married is like a little bit of a red flag. I mean, and people are like, no, no, no, it's really good right before you get married, like, to be able to talk to each. But I am almost like, oh. Everyone has a different idea of love. Some people love to them is fighting for it and being like, this clearly isn't a fit, but I love this person. I'm going to try to make it work out. Yeah, like, I need a little bit of jealousy and like a little bit of like.

Yeah, no, it's good to have a little bit. I need like a little bit of fighting. Yeah, you don't want it to feel perfect. That's so boring. So boring. You love to slam a door. I have to slam at least once every fiscal, like, quarter. I have to get really pissed, like, once every three months where I'm like, I'll leave.

You have to threaten. Yeah, no, you have to. You have to. You have to just keep them scared. I have to make a quick update. I apologize. I said that Lewis Hamilton was tall. I don't know what I can talk about when I speak about men.

I just assumed. I don't know what came over you. And one thing about me, you can never assume a man is anything. Yeah. And turns out he's 5-9 on Google, which means he's 5-7. So he's not tall. Right. But neither is Kim.

But we're praying for good things for him. Kim is like 5-2. Yes, she's tiny. 5-2 and a half on a good day. Speaking of men, we didn't get to talk about it last week because we had recorded a little bit early, but the Olympian who cheated on his girlfriend and told the world. So I screenshotted. To actually get the data correct.

Well, I screenshot it because the quotes are so. insane. He's a Norwegian Olympian. He won bronze. He said, I told her a week ago and it's been the worst week of my life. I had a gold medal in life and there's probably a lot of people out there who look at me differently now, but I only have eyes for her.

Sports has taken a bit of a backseat these past couple of days. Yeah, I wish I could share this with her. I'm not ready to give up. I hope that committing social suicide like this might show her how much I love her, which that's just like insane. I accept the consequences of what I've done. I regret it with all my heart. Maybe I'm dumb as a rock. Maybe I'm a member of Mensa, but I still do stupid stuff.

This is a Wendy. It's giving Erica Jane. He was shot. His tongue was shot. And then he rolled his ankle. What is she saying? Tom is in a car accident. Okay, so the mess up part about this is like, this girl did not want to be a part of this narrative.

Like, here's my thing. I'd be like, I go, as soon as I told you the whole world. Like, because she was like trying to work it out with what I think and like figure out where they stand. And he just word vomited to the world. But you know what? This is a classic like, you feel guilty. Don't make it everyone's problem. Yeah.

If I were her, I would stay gone. I mean, that is so embarrassing. It's embarrassing. It's also very clear that he has zero self-awareness. To his own emotions. Who gets in front of live TV and just says, actually, can I get something off my chest really quick? I guess in his head he thought it was like a rom-com moment,

like a guy with a radio outside of someone's house, like in the 80s. But look at the power of women. Bronze. Well, that's what I was going to say. No one's coming back when you got a bronze, babe. Third place? That's not even second. their place that's barely you had a grab no like you barely made it you barely you were they were

skin your teeth yeah so these winter olympians can i just say no i can't watch the violence anymore people are getting guillotined like i'm watching i'm obsessed with it and i will turn on any sport did you watch the lindsay vaughn like when she really crashed no i'll like puk i'm an empath you know it's funny is like I was with a group of people and I was like we could watch it like right now on TV and everyone was like I have to look away and I was like what we have to watch it because they were too nervous for her and then she like lost a leg yeah so I have these I love these winter sports because they do these insane jumps when I tell you they're building things where like I wouldn't even stand on these things might as well slide it all the way down and then jump up and these girls are so

badass like in another life I wish I was like a cool ski girl like jumping around but when they fall, they have to bring the camera away because they don't know if the person's dead or not. No, like they're jumping like crazy and they land on their fucking head and they have to get the camera away because someone's just lying there, like not moving. And you have to, there's always like five minutes of like, are they alive or not? The freaking girl on the half pipe thing landed on the side of the half pipe and like almost guillotined her body in half. And I'm just trying to watch it. Nice sport. I'm just trying to get through the day. And I feel like the summer Olympics is not like this at all.

They're just like jogging. Right. And these ones... At least they get to jump in a pool every once in a while. They're doing something called the butterfly. It's very beautiful. Yeah. They're getting a tan while they do it.

And these people too, it's such niche sports that like they can't do it for a living. So these guys and women have like full-time jobs. They're like, she's a teacher by day. And at night she does the double luge. Have you seen the, we need to do hand in page try the devil luge. You just have, you put someone on a luge and then someone just sits on them. Who is like, you know what makes this better? It's on top of it.

If I can feel the weight of another human. That's actually your nightmare. That's my night. The luge. And the physical touch. Being in that close of quarters and your bodies have to be on the same like timing. And the outfits don't. No, they don't.

Well, they don't give. Not one sparkle. No. Well, I meant like they're so tight. Oh, yeah, there's no room for error. Yeah, there's no, like, comfiness. You can't blow it without, there's no forgiveness. Anyway, how was your fashion week?

Hi, how are you? How are you? My fashion week was good. I actually didn't do much this year because, well, I didn't want to. I was like, you know what? I have to go. But my tris and my stuff was so fun, and I went to the Christian Sierra.

show but other than that I really was like I don't you posted a cool outfit with like a zebra skirt today yeah I really like that I really like that town to like different stuff oh okay that was just um that was just like me on a Tuesday see I love that outfit thank you so much I also love an outfit that you have coming out shortly everyone's day what you have an outfit that you're gonna wear soon that's really good oh yeah I do stay tuned okay so I send Hannah an outfit picture of something for like in a couple weeks and Hannah texted me back and she was like look I don't know if you want to hear this, but I love it. She's like, I don't know what that means, but take it as you will.

I think it's gorgeous. The fact that I would wear the shit out of it, like, I don't know if that's going to turn you off from it. I just, I'm very excited. I think it makes you look gorgeous. I saw Michael. Of course. Michael, of course.

Yes, how was that? He's amazing. I didn't get to see him, but that was also my fault. I didn't go to the after party because I have social anxiety. Right. But they put me next to Teffi and Brittany Brosky. So you had a good seat. Incredible seat.

But for some reason, I was like, where I was sitting when everyone was walking in, I was like the first person people were seeing. So like I became like the host. I became like the greeter. And they were like really famous. You were ushering people to their seats. Mary J. Blige comes walking and sees me and I go, hi, Mary. And then I'm like, am I supposed to get her water?

Like I'm very, I became the, like, I also think I have a welcoming face. face like I was in a good mood. No you have an approachable welcoming face and aura. So I was like guys I can't talk right now I'm welcoming people so that was fun um but it was a very cool group of people like yeah it looked it just just really badass women and how do you feel about your outfit and your hair and makeup like well people like went nuts over the trench coat I do have to say I think back in my day I was like I hate when people just say like I look good love it love when you guys wouldn't wouldn't didn't I say that back in the day I don't know but like what a crazy difference between you and I I was like look you want to be seen for more of your art basically the gigglers are so funny on my page and they still find a way to like make it funny

but they are complimenting me and I feel like they love the trench I can't respond to them because I'm like God forbid anyone ever screenshots this but like they're so funny and then they entertain each other and they'll be like, wait, guys, these comments are really good. And then it keeps flowing. Like, I got crazy momentum of the funny comments on the trench coat one. And the different ways they find to like compliment me, like, what do I do to deserve this? Like, I always feel like I'm not worthy. But the Gingler's loved it. I love a trench. Because I feel, first of all, you cinchia. That's why we're sitting at this table today to really emphasize. Well, there's something on a trench. It really makes you, you feel investigative.

No, you feel professional. You also feel like you have secrets. Yeah, you feel like I have, clearly I have a schedule. Yes, you're on the move. Schedule. You know, it's like, I'm hit a trench and I'm a schedule. In case it rains, I am prepared. Like you just, I just felt really prepared.

I also think my fashion would be better if I wore things that made me uncomfortable. Okay. And I happen to find that trenches are so fucking comfortable. Trench also gives like lost baby or dog coming up to you. Like if you're lost, you're going up to the person in a trench. And I'm pulling out like anything you need. And Carmen San Diego. Yeah.

Yeah. You have like a pen and a notepad and you're ready. Yeah. I actually also, when I was outside, there's always like fashion photographers. And they kind of came out of nowhere because sometimes they don't come and then sometimes they do a little. This was crazy. And I think because I'm late all the time, like they all were bored. And then they all started attacking me.

I accidentally FaceTime Lois. So I'm holding my FaceTime all these cameras. I hear Lois, what's happening? Like she was like, Hannah, are you? And then Lois. Like you FaceTime like Lois's iPad or something? Or like Lois' mom. Oh, oh.

Okay. And her mom was like, yeah, not today. Hannah. She's like, get your aunt. And did I tell you that I was hanging out with Lois and I had, I wasn't wearing a lot of makeup and then I did put on makeup and an outfit and I walked in and Lois, you know, she's observant. Yeah.

Oh, you're all excited. Yeah, I'm excited. She looks at me. And she's like. And she says, you're going to, I don't know where she learned this word. She goes, I'm concerned. That's my child. That's my baby.

When I visited, she goes, Hannah, remember when you put on makeup and that outfit and I was concerned? Jeannie fell off the table. What was she concerned about? She doesn't know what concerned means. No, she knew. She knew what it meant as in like she didn't like it. Like I think it was jarring that I suddenly had a different outfit on and she didn't like it.

It's like when like your dad shaves his beard and you're a baby and you like you can't figure it out. Exactly. Exactly. So now when I put an outfit together I send it to Lois and Lois liked the trench. Oh good. Wait, I'm obsessed with that. That's so sweet. That's so sweet.

And I was getting my makeup done and she was, I have a daughter. Yeah. And she was on FaceTime and she was obsessed with watching them put makeup on me. She's the girliest girl. I mean, seeing kids, like, seeing things through kids' eyes for the first time, it's like, I get the whole motherhood thing. Yeah. I'm like, no, I get it. But then like when she gets like upset about something, I'm like, I gotta go. See ya. If one of your goals for 2026 is to be healthier, then why don't we kick off the new year with AG1?

I've been watching TikToks of CardiB's concert, and I have decided that I want to go to that concert. You know Cardi B is my everything. Like I need to go to it. Do you know that when I first got on reality TV, and people were like, this is like not a good idea, I used Cardi B as an example of what I wanted to be. Well, Cardi B was on love and hip hop and now she's the number one selling rap artist.

Wait, that's so true. And I was like, you do the math. And they were like, I don't know how you have to do with Cardi B. And I was like, we're both from New York. The song she's playing at the concert was what I pre-gamed to. Like, my whole 20s of like socializing, I feel like revolved around Cardi B. She's so good. And she is, like, you can't like away from her.

her as a performer. And I googled her the other day. We're the exact same age. Really? And then that made me feel really inadequate. I was like she has three babies, multiple Grammys. She went to the Super Bowl, broke up with her boyfriend at the Super Bowl. Like, she's busy. What was that? She's busy. Oh yeah, I don't, I don't know, but I'm on her side. Whatever happened. No, I'm on her side. And all I can think about was, and I don't know why this quote sticking out in my head, but Stefan Diggs, like, when they first started dating, said, like, let me heal you. And I knew in that moment that he was going to do some really crazy shit. Also, how do you find time to cheat during football season? I mean, I guess that's what they do,

but, like, it's exhausting. It's like, yeah. I don't know when men have, like, jobs. Also, like, so public. So public. It's like, wow, you really don't give a fuck. No, and you knew Cardi B was going to find out. So anyway, I want to give her money and go to her concert. I would love to. Let's go. to see Cardi. I'm going to look up some, like, not right now. Do it after the pot. I'm going to look it up right now. No, I was going to my notes.

Which refresher are you drinking? I have the strawberry dragon fruit refresher with sparkling water. Love, I have the mango pineapple refresher with less concentrate and green tea. I drink a lot tonight. I also watch something. I feel like I'm like ahead of the game. Wait. I watched the entire Tyra Banks documentary.

I'm going to say if that's what it is because I started it. I started it earlier. Holy shit. Okay, break it down. I have so many thoughts. First of all, I didn't realize how much I watched it. Yeah. Because every clip, I recognized a girl. Yeah, you're like, oh, yeah, I know that. Like these girls were iconic. All of them. Like when Chandy cheated on her boyfriend? Also, I wanted to note. When was this, like, 2010? Like, when did it start? No, no. Earlier. Okay, yeah, 2000s. No girls had filler. Right. Or Botox. Right, especially in their 20s. It was a crazy time where people had small lips.

Yeah. People had like people had like a certain shaped chin. Yeah. And it actually like made me yearn for that time of like if they did America's Next Time model now, all the girls would look similar. That's very true. And yeah, it's like, oh, she's a brunette or she's black hair, she's short, she's long hair. But a lot of girls have just the same beauty ideal now where back then she would find these

girls that you're like unique looking and then next thing you know you're like they're a supermodel. Yeah. So the craziest thing from it was basically, and there's so many crazy things. First of all. Wait, how many parts? There's three episodes. Okay. The craziest thing is that Tyra is like narrating, but it's kind of a hit piece on Tyra. And Tyra doesn't know. Like Jay Manuel basically says he tried to quit after 10 seasons And she basically responded saying like I'm disappointed And they were best friends and then he ends up The network begs him to come back he's like fine

She doesn't talk to him not on camera the entire time So then they go Tara what happened with Jay And she's like I'm not talking about it She won't talk about it in the documentary In the documentary So if something happened And he basically was like I was psychologically abused after that. But no, the tea is crazy.

But then... From the woman who brought us hot ice cream. Also, people don't talk enough about Miss Jay. Do you remember Miss Jay? Of course. The runway extraordinary. That chemistry of the three of them was just magical. And then they threw a Nigel Barker who's like the hottest Australian guy.

And they were really magic. But Tyra pitched this show from just an idea of like, I want to show that the modeling industry can be open to. more diversity. Yeah. She really was like the pioneer of that though I will say. So a lot of the stuff that she had dealt with in the industry people think like she wasn't fully healed from it all and then she was trying to like solve it and fix it. I definitely didn't realize back then that the show was her idea. I always thought she like some she was just the host and then like she became a producer that it was like full she like pitched everyone and they all said no. She made so much money off of that show because it's in every

country. Every country, yeah. Then I started realizing, like, it got to the point after it got so popular, they just had to make things crazier and crazier. And it stopped being about, like, creating great models. It was just for, like, crazy moments. And also, they're clearly not picking their best photos from these photo shoots. Like, they'd pick a photo. You know, like, your neck looks bad, your hand looks bad. I'm like, then don't pick that photo. Like, as someone has done a photo shoot, there'll be one good photo from the whole thing. And it's like, yeah, obviously, I blink. Sorry, I blinked. So that was crazy. And they just always had the cameras going.

And it's classic reality TV where they would pick stories for each girl. And it's like, they'd be like, you're the fat one. No, and she's like, you're, and this girl's like, I'm really, and the girl's really skinny. And they're like, you're fat. And they'd show up and they'd be like, did you eat a lot of dinner last night? And the girl would be like, what? But like, she realized like, oh, that's the story. The narrative they're putting on me.

And then you had this one girl eat a bagel. And they kept re-showing her eating this bagel trying to make it like she just couldn't stop eating bagels. And she was like, it was one bagel. I ate one bagel once. And I was like, I get it girl. I get it girl. But no, it was fucked up. There were many horrible things that happened on the show.

It is, look, there is a little bit of a reality TV reckoning that is happening where like we're looking back being like, oh, we abuse the hell out of these people. And the truth is, a lot of these girls were like coming from like small jobs. Like this one girl worked at Walgreens. She's like, my life's going to change. But some of their lives got worse after from the trauma, from the show. And then basically the fashion industry did not respect whoever won America's Next Top Model. So some of the winners were like, they got nothing. They got nothing.

And I think it's unique that me and you were talking about it, to reality TVers. Yeah. There's certain people that if they don't like how you got there, they'll never respect you. Well, on, I mean, I feel like I could count on my hand, the number of people that have crossed over from reality TV to mainstream television.

Really actually, I'm actually drawing a blank. Kim Kardashian. Would you say she's mainstream, like, actress, though? She's working on it. She's working on it. And that's 20 years later. And what's funny, you know, Eva. Yes.

Oh, yes. I would say she's the biggest one. But she became reality. She went on to do reality. She went on housewives. But maybe she did act before that. She did. Yeah.

No, she did. She still does. There were like a handful of girls, but they did 25 cycles, babe. 25. Oh, my God. Then, do you remember the insane makeovers? Yeah. Which, again, we love to makeover during that time.

Yeah. And it started just being like, we're bleaching her hair, we're cutting her hair short, and girls sobbing. Then they started doing dental work. What? One girl was in the dentist office for 24 hours. They like fucked up her teeth. She like, her jaw is like never going to be the same.

She has a problem with her bite. Wait, they gave her like veneers? Yeah, they shaved her teeth down. Yeah. And then another one had a gap. And Tyra basically was like, I'm voting you off unless you fix your gap. And the girl's like, I love my gap.

And it's so funny, Tyra's like, you'll never be in a campaign with a gap, even though now, get the London look. Like, that's all about the game. Revlon. Get the London look. Get the London look. But then the next season she's diapalical. The next season, she's telling a girl to get a gap because it would be more iconic.

So it was just like. No, a lot of fuckery. It was a lot of fuckery, but the truth is, is. Well, reality TV is just such an interesting beast. in itself. I think it's so funny how they're, not funny, but it's fascinating to watch

the disconnect from reality TV to the viewer. Like there is such a crazy disconnect. Like when you're watching a scripted show, you're like, and they're acting. I'm not going to go on their Instagram and be like, you fucking suck because you play Stephen on Tell Me Lies.

Like you can detach that that's an actor. Yep. But with reality TV, people can't do that because you're like, no, you did that. And it's like, okay, but I didn't edit it like that. And there's just, I don't know why there's such a disconnect. Especially because we live in a world where it's like there's social media.

And it's like, we find out the truth about everything, no matter what, people will like break things down. But reality TV is just like. They haven't figured it out. They haven't figured it out. Because the viewers, we don't want to know the truth. Right. Even if when people are like, this is what happened. It's like, no, no, no, because then I'm an idiot.

a version of what happened. Yeah. But it's not fully what happened. There's, there's a scene when Tara, um, Tyra is yelling like, I was rooting for you.

And that went viral. But then they basically said like, it was so much worse. Yeah. And obviously the scene got cut down. Like whenever you guys see like a horrible scene that lasts two minutes, that could have been an hour long of chaos. Yeah.

So that's where like, that's my biggest thing with reality TV is like there are things that are said that really affect people's reactions, but you never see it. Right. One thing also that was just horrible was this girl who worked for Walgreens, the one who cheated. Yeah, Shandy. Trigger warning, she was essayed. And then in the morning, they were, like, filming her, like, you have to call him.

Then she had to film the guy, her calling the guy asking if he had an STD. Like, this is, like, the most traumatizing things ever. And there's a power dynamic here. Yeah. You're not going to tell a producer. Right. No. It's like, okay, well, we'll replace you in a second.

Then they get off the show. And she even was like, I want to go home. And then they're like, fine, you can call your boyfriend. Like, there's a power dynamic where these girls are not actors with agents in a TV show where they can say, I don't feel comfortable with that. Right. You are just being forced around. And not to mention, they were probably what, 22, 23.

Maybe they were babies. One was 25 or 26. They were babies. Well, one of them was getting. inappropriately touched by a male model. And she was like, what would Tyra do? Tyra would respectfully speak up. And she spoke up and they were like, you need to learn how to deal with that.

It was like, it was chaos. But we were younger watching that stuff. And don't you remember the scene when she cheated, like how traumatizing that was? Yeah. So then she tried to like fix her relationship and she said she'd be walking down the street and people would yell at her, cheater, whore, slut. and they had to break up. Yeah.

So anyway, what's the cheat? So anyhow. Wait, I can't wait to go home and watch that. It's really good, but it is... Wait, do you think Tyra's pissed? I think Tyra's in Australia. Yeah. Tyra's in Australia.

She's married, right? She just got, she got married, like, recently, I feel like, in the past couple of years, moved to Australia, started hot, ice cream. Yeah. But it is interesting how, I do think she became this character. This like, this like mean, this like mean hoax. This like mean hoax.

This like nowhere of all like very powerful like Caesar character. Like when she talks, she talks like mystical. Do you know what I mean? She likes to keep it slow. Yeah. And talk like this. I believed in you. Yeah.

I trusted you. And then she smises. That makes me uncomfortable. Yeah. But it is. But none of this would have even happened. had COVID not happened because people didn't really go back and like rewatch and be like that was kind of fucked up until we were like locked in the house and like had nothing to watch

really she was like during COVID everyone started seeing it from a new perspective because that's when I first started seeing like this was not cool but the second it aired people were addicted you know it was good if I watched it because it had to be like super popular for me to find something well it was on the CW I think Yeah. And all the girls are just like in this house. I loved it because I loved anything like super girly like that. Well, you also probably wanted to go on it. So badly. I wanted to go on it so bad.

I think they even did like a model search in at like my local mall. But I was like, my mom was like, no, you're not going to that. Malls are for shopping. I realized something. Wait, before you say that, can I just go to one? one of your note things that says condoms at the Olympics. Because I'm just like, would love to know the thought process. Oh, I have the gossip about it.

I feel like Giggly Squad is me just going around the world, trying to figure out with stuff, and then being like, guys, this is what I figured out. And then you're just telling this. So everyone's like, oh, they went through 10,000 condoms in Olympics. Apparently, there's boxes around and the Olympians, I think one of the ice skaters was saying, the Olympians take it to, like, give it as gifts to people. Like it's like a souvenir. Does it say 2026 Olympics?

I think it does. So it's like a funny souvenir. So like they're not going through it. They're all just like taking it home. Yeah. I mean I do think. I didn't know that was the story. Well, they say the Olympians like it gets crazy in the Olympic Village.

They're all just like hooking up with all this testosterone. Now there's a reality TV show. 100%. However, I also know a lot of these athletes are weird about sex and competition where they're like won't do it before. Yeah. Like they don't want to feel weaker or something. Which is such a.

man thing. Like it takes your adrenaline away. Yeah, or like your energy that you might need. I'd be like, trust me, I'm not going to come anyway. You're going to be fun. I'll be fine. It's only the men that are like, I can't do this before. It's like, okay, I have some mental brain power. I told you that there was this track guy at Wisconsin that he was like, I can't, I can't orgasm. And I was like, you're like a loaded gun right now. You're like with a woman? He told me he doesn't jerk off. And he was like, crazy like we'd kiss and he'd be like oh and i was like you need to go to the bad therm and deal with that yourself wait that's so uncomfortable he was literally a loaded gun walking around and i was

like just jerk off that's your only problem but or people get superstitious about it okay the athletes it's like i think i can't i realize that landman and yellowstone same guy not the same show not the same show but the same person wrote both what's the difference One is on a ranch, like a, you know, like a ranch. I don't know. And then another one's like about an oil rig, like on like in Texas. An oil ranch? Yeah.

Yeah. So one's an oil ranch and one's a not oil ranch. Yeah. Yellowstone's better than Landman. Oh. I would say. But Landman's only like two seasons. Landman's getting some like good chatter about it.

No, it's definitely a good show. I mean, the guy that wrote it, he's. basically like a version of my like lord and savior chandra rhymes he just must crunch adderall and write these shows speaking of reality tv kazi randolph kall koltz the winner of colton season who we love her sister's michel randolph starring in that there is something about someone getting famous on reality tv and then their their sister and their sibling using that fame but going mainstream because they weren't on reality TV. Yeah. No, pivoting careers, I feel like are, we don't talk about that. I love pivoting careers. I'll do it tomorrow. No, I love to see people that have like pivoted.

You have to. You have to keep evolving. That's why I don't play pickleball because I'm afraid once I start, I'm going to get hooked because I actually have a lot of friends who are on the pickleball tour right now. Since I stay on Colton's neck and I haven't even watched Traders this season, I did see a thing where they filmed the reunion. And it was actually Lisa Red and I like did. Instagram story and she's basically like, I brought up what you all wanted me to bring up. Now, if you, again, if you see it, I have no idea, like, how it will be edited.

But the rumor is, is that he walked out of the reunion and then, like, came back and no one could. I had a nickel. And no one could bring up that he's a stalker. Like, I don't know. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Men get away with anything at a reunion, truly.

I love that Rin is getting ahead of it. Well, well, because she's, a reality TV queen. She knows what to do. She knows. She knows. Exactly. She knows what the people want to see. She knows what the kids want to see. Yeah, the problem with traders recently is that they voted off Candice. Yeah. It's left with the quieter personalities. Even though Mora is not quiet and no one's showing Mora. Well, you know what else is interesting that I feel like happened during COVID? People went on like real tirades for reality TV of like get rid of the villain. And it's like, okay, but if we get rid of like your so-called villain, there will not be a show.

Yeah. You know? Well, what they don't realize is when you cut the head off a villain and other villain needs to come. Right. There always has to be a villain. Right. And people, yeah, they love being like, this person's the problem. Yeah.

But then how come there's problems every season? Yeah, like there's going to be, yeah, and that person's gone. Do the math, carry the one. Right. It's divided by two. Another random thought. Yeah. And then I have something.

Oh, you go first. So the other night, Des, your husband, if you didn't know who I was talking about, Des wanted to come to my building to use one of my amenities, to use my cold plunge. And I said,

Des, I actually made dinner. Would you like to have dinner after, like, you use the cold plunge? He got off a floor. flight, I think. He got off a flight. He never ended up using the cold plunge and he came and he had dinner at my apartment. Well, I find out that behind my back, Paige is cooking homemade meals for my husband because he's not getting taken care of right now. Let's be honest. I mean a bowl and aes. Well, he texts me thinking, I don't know what's going on. He's like, hey, Paige asked me to go to dinner. I'm like, you don't think I know these things. You're the last to know. Well, I've been trying. My goal that I set in January, but I didn't start. it till February, which it's okay to start your 2026 goals in any month. Normalize.

It doesn't have to be in January, and if you don't start it in January, it's not like you can't do it. And I wanted to make something, cook something once a week. And Sunday just seems to be the easiest to do because you have all day to mess it up and try something else. So I made bullenies for the first time. Did he compliment it?

He did, but here's the thing. It was like a little, it was like a little bit watery and my mom was like well why didn't you call me and ask me what like and I was like because I was trying to do it on my own you know and she's like no babe don't try to be a and I realize it's really hard to cook I love like when your mom is cooking a meal you love and you're like one day I'm going to do it and you're watching it it seems so easy it seems so simple and then when you're alone you're just scared she makes everything everything so easy oh Kim everyone loved the page and Hannah try new things with Kim and it was one of my favorite episodes do you know that

my dad rewatches it probably at least every other night he says can you bring up the youtube i love him so much also kim did not let us touch the food and at that point i was like oh this is her art and she's like don't disrespect my art in my own home and i was like go off kim didn't really break that down you know like she really she really was like don't touch anything you'll mess it up you know maybe she'll give us another try, but I don't think we've like proved anything to her sense. No, we've probably proved less. If anything, she was like, I was worried about you too. This weekend I actually, you know, Tor can be lonely, as you know. Yeah. And, you know, me and Allie are just running around.

Right. Now when Allie gossips to me, she has to decide if she wants you to know about it or not. Are you kidding me? Which is so annoying because I told her one, you don't remember anything. Hannah, one, I don't remember anything. Two, you don't care. I don't, I don't, I don't get. No, we got to fight in the car. She looks at me. She goes, oh my God. Wait, you're going to tell Paige, aren't you? And I was like, yes, but it doesn't matter. No. And then I tried to lie to her and say, I wasn't going to tell you. And then she goes, now I feel like you're lying to me. And I go, well, I am. And I want to have trust in this friendship. I am going to tell Paige. I am going to tell page. But page is not relevant. The only time I get nervous about that is, of course, people say, you can't tell anyone. And I'm like, I'm not going to tell anyone. And then like, you are by proxy who I'm going to tell. The only time I get worried, the only time is that you're going to accidentally think like something's funny and you'll slip it in and say something. And then you'll be like, I wasn't supposed to say that. That's Hannah in her 20s.

Okay. I've grown. I was so proud of myself because Allie told me a secret about something. And then one of our other friends called her and Ali looked at me because she started bringing up the topic. and I didn't I actually kept the secret yeah and she afterwards was so proud of me and I was like never kept a secret before and it actually felt so good so I'm getting trusted alley no it really does feel good that I was like yeah I'm not going around telling your business because but I am telling it to page I am telling it to this and my mom how you don't you don't you actually you're so funny you'll be

about to tell me something and then you'll be like yeah who you're gonna tell and then you're just you'll be like you don't fucking know anyone and you'll just like who are you? you're going to tell them like whoever you're going to tell it doesn't matter you have to know in your gossip like webs what hits a dead end like you're a dead end for me like once it tell you it dies there here's one thing that people don't talk enough about too how like women are so smart if i want someone to know something now that's that's like strategic gossip where you're like i know if i tell this person. She's not going to keep her damn mouth shut. And I know it's going to get back to this person and I want that person to know. And that's like, and it's usually just, I want

them to know, I don't fuck with that. That's the strategies of war that you're discussing. Like, you literally are playing chess. Yeah. Like, hey, let me plant this seed with that person that I fucking hate them. Like, it's, that is, that is smart actually. And I'm so scared of you sometimes. Anyway, we're on the road. And anyway, have camaraderie with Alice. I had a, we had, I had such a fun show in D.C. and Philly. Last night, I go to Long Island, three days in a row. Long Island is so fucking funny. First of all, the stage was like a circle. So it was like gladiator, like, but like for clowns. So like walking, and two guys are sitting next to each other and you know that pisses me off more than anything. Do you know the first stand-up I ever saw was

as soon as they, Dave Matthews' band. What is the guy? Dave Chappelle. No. Who's the guy that, like, got a bunch of plastic surgery and now he doesn't want to do. Oh, Dane Cook. Dane Cook. And he was on a circle stage and I always think of it anytime I see a circle stage. That HBO is special.

The double fuck you. Yeah. I think I have to shoot special in a circular stage. My CDs are in his car. You actually said that to me so many. I'm sorry. Like, that special was iconic. I don't go fuck what anyone says.

I almost dressed up as Dan Cook for Halloween. Don't. We've got enough going on with you. So anyway. Also, I don't know what he's up to anymore. Oh, the last I heard, like, his brother, like, stole all his money or something crazy. Yeah. So I was in the middle.

See, these two guys stay next to each other, and I'm like, if you guys aren't gay, we're going to have a problem. And the guy, this Long Island kid is so funny. He's like, you know, I had a date, but then she saw me on one of those Facebook pages. Am I dating the same person? Yeah, and everyone goes, oh, then another girl. Are those real? Yeah, another girl starts speaking up. Like, it becomes full Judge Judy.

And, like, the long eye and the girls are like, we'll take care of this for you, Hannah. And this girl goes, I know him, and I know he was talking to my, whatever. And he's like, I'm, I'm, I just met someone. I just met someone. I'm talking to multiple people. And it got all, it was Jerry Springer, but it was very, very funny. But then because it's around, I decided to have a victim, right?

Like, he's my victim. So I'm going to like tear this guy apart the whole time because like, but he's loving it. Yeah. Matt, typical Matt. So, but at one point I'm going, I'm talking in the round and then I literally am trying to find Matt. Yeah. I got lost. Like, because everything.

You got motion sickness. I couldn't find Matt. And I was like, did he leave? And they're like, no, he's over there. Couldn't find my footing. And then, well, you have no directional awareness. Exactly. Well, you don't drive.

I didn't know where I was from the beginning. How is it going to find my way home? Right. So then it's a circle. It's a circle. But then everyone could see each other and guess who was there? Full family, mom, dad, Nana, Papa. So everyone's staring.

Yours? Yeah, everyone's staring at my parents while making like insane jokes about like sexting in front of my dad. And my nan is there and at one point I just have to shout it out. And everyone starts chanting Nana. Oh, that's so sweet. She's like, I can't hear anything. What are they saying? After threads, they said justice for Nana.

And she just wants that you guys know. She loves the fans. She loves all of you. She wishes she can make you all a chicken parmesan. Whatever happened with the threads thing? The gigglers took care of it. Took care of it. No, they're literally like a henchman.

Well, I mean, she's a, people are bullying her grandma. Like, we all have to put her foot down at some point. No, it's insane. Look, I don't think she even knows that happened on threads. We try to protect her from the fame. I'm 32. 33. I'm 33 and I don't even know how to work threads.

Like, if something was happening about me on threads, I'd have no idea. Thank God. And I need that piece. But the problem with threads, because the algorithm, it recommends the worst things for me when I'm scrolling Instagram. So it'll be like me looking at like chrome lamps and cats. And then suddenly it's like, the person I hate most in this world. Said the dumbest joke. Said the stupid thing about you.

And then I have to be like, don't recommend. So, yeah, the phones are killing us slowly. Now this brings me to the most important point of the night. Oysters. Do you like oysters? In your heart of hearts. Like you would never last meal an oyster. Never.

If I really broke it down, what I like is vinegar. I like the accoutrement. It's the vehicle for the sauce. The sauce. Yeah. Now, I would argue, I like clams better. Well, yeah. They're sweet.

They're cute. They're small. They're small. They're adorable. They go in pastas. You can't put an oyster in a pasta? No, you can't. This is the thing.

Oysters have incredible PR. Well, the whole Afrodisiac sets them the light years apart. Yeah. Aphrodisi, but then not a clam doesn't. Right. Aren't they like cousins? Well, both bottom feeders.

Bottom feeders of some kind. Yeah. But like, oysters are out here, regal, gorgeous. That's a clam. That is a good PR. That is good. But I feel like they got pigeonholed in that. They got type.

Their team was like, you're just, no one takes you, you're not elevated. You're very, it takes you seriously. You're commercialized. Meanwhile, oyster, they're doing fashion week. They're in Paris. Oysters is over there with caviar and clams is like. Oysters are coming in, you know, a seafood tower. They're at weddings.

Yes. They're at gala's. Where clams, you know, occasionally a montage. but it's not, you don't see clam bar. Well, clams could be at a picnic table. You're not having oysters on a picnic table. And yeah, oysters are a little bigger, but like, I'm telling you guys, clams are where it's at.

Yeah. And flavor-wise, and then have you ever boiled a clam? You can boil them and you put them in butter? Yeah, they're so good. So good. Cazino, hello. Although, have you ever had oysters Rockefeller? Again, great PR.

Is that just, yeah, Rock of Flores. Elevated. Rich. They're literally. Oysters come from money. They do smell it. They're nepo babies.

Yeah. They're nepo baby. Like the Rockefellers have nothing to do with oysters and the oysters are like, oysters have fucking pearls. No one's open to clam and you're just like, is that sand? Not again. It's like it smells like a clam. It smells like a clam.

Yeah. And oysters are jewelry. Yeah. For royals. I actually have one more Michael course. thing. Yeah. So after the Michael Kaur show, I walk out, and this was the most New York thing ever, I'm standing there looking gorgeous in my trench coat. And some guy on a bike who, I'm not going to say he lived on the bike, but let's just say, don't know what he was doing on the bike. He wasn't

like working or anything. Right. He just like stops right in front of me. But you know what? It's been a long night and I've been socializing already. I'm like, what's one other person? Yeah. And he goes, where were you? And I'm in front of Link. And I'm in front of Link. in center and I go, I just look at this guy. I'm like, there's no way he's going to know who this is. And I just go, I was at the Michael Corse show. And he goes, I love Michael Corse. By the way, he's like a, I'd say like a 50 year old man.

Okay. I love Michael Corse. I think he was a little drunk. And I was like, oh, yeah, amazing. And he's like, you know, what a great performer. That's when I realized, like, oh, he thinks. And he's like, I've been to a Michael Corse show back in the 80s. And I was like, cool.

So we get into a... He think it was. I was like, maybe Michael Bublai, but I don't think... Michael something. Michael Bolton. Maybe Michael Bolton. Yeah, maybe Michael Bolton. But he was like...

He starts telling me these stories about how great Michael Coors is in concert. And I'm sitting there in my trench and I'm like, we got to wrap this up. Yeah. And then he's like, how long was the show? And I was like, actually only like 12 minutes. And he was like, wow, he used to do two hours. This conversation went on so much longer than it should have. Yeah.

But in that moment, I was like, I can't wait to tell the gigglers about... this beautiful New York City moment. And then my car came and then I said, sir, have a great night. And he said, you too. I'm so happy you had a great time at the show. I said, I'll see you at the next Michael Corr show. He said, thank you. And that's the epitome of New York City.

And that's the thing. You don't have to understand each other to get along. No. No. Wait, last thing in we'll end here. Have you watched any of the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Beset show? Well, I'm a little annoyed because I very recently watched the JFK Jr. documentary. So I feel like it's so fresh. I don't want to like compare the two.

Yeah. But Ali's been watching it and she's obsessed with it. It's good. Because you love a period piece. Well, it's not like period. It's like in the 90s. Yeah. But you don't know what they were really like because there really is no press of them. And she did not want to be photographed. Yeah. And so you kind of take it with like a grain of salt that that's how she was. But I do think the acting is good is really good. And He's very good looking. And this is Ryan Murphy, right? Mm-hmm. When does Ryan Murphy sleep?

No. Who knows? Because you know he has Kim on the phone every three seconds with another idea. Yeah. And then he's doing all these like serial killer things. The, like, the aesthetic of the show is phenomenal. Like, you very much feel like you're in New York City in the 90s. It actually made me, like, upset because I was like, wait, it would have been so cool to live in New York in the 90s and be, like, in

20s. It looked so fun. And RFK Jr., they didn't really have security. They would just like try to live a normal life, even though he was like the most famous bachelor in the world. Yeah, well, there was no social media. So it was like real paparazzi. And he dated like a very famous. He dated madonna or something. He dated this girl. Her name was Daryl Hannah. Do you remember? Yes. Yeah, you know who she is? A mermaid. Yes. That was like her, I think, biggest role. She's been in other things too. Yeah. And I think she then like went on to like marry someone else famous but he well that's one one takeaway he he loves a blonde he loves a blonde but he that yeah that is a beautiful man but what a crazy story yeah and then they have like someone who plays jackie oh um it just it seems like they had like a tough

i just i don't know how they did that oh yeah i'm definitely gonna watch that no it's good there's three episodes out and how's your book going just to wrap this up if we made any problems progress um we're at a small stand still uh no i'm reading seven husbands of ebblin hugo are you reading it like on planes well because you want to know what are you reading on planes or you ipading no i'm ipting on planes i haven't gone full row except i'm flying out to l.a next week so i might might bring my book um the gigglers truly are so funny like i'll get messages and then i'll get messages like when then we'll talk about it on the pod and then i'll get messages of girls being like okay i don't want to insult you and your reading level because to each their own, but like I think you're correct. And like that book is

like a bit too hard for you. And then I have like, then I had like a legitimate like literature teacher. She was like, Wuthering Heights. Stick to the seven husbands and get a grab. People message me telling you not to try to read Wuthering Heights. And I was like, don't worry. She'll she'll know real soon in that first paragraph that she's not going to make it. She was like, I'm a literal professor and it's a very hard book. Like not the beach read you're looking for. for. Anyway, I'm just trying to like, I'm cooking, I'm reading,
