Starting point is 00:00:02 What's up, gigglers? Gary, fix the Wi-Fi. Manifest that shit. We can't be managed. Got away from me? What's up? My gaggle a giggle-gigglers? My gaggle a gigglas.
Starting point is 00:00:20 I'm out of breath. You're out of breath because you were gossiping with someone in your... Wait, that's called a drive-by-gossip when you like... You're like, I don't have time, but I have to taste me in a quick. I literally said, I don't... don't have time for this. So I'm going to make this 10-hour story into 30 seconds so you can ruminate on it. And then I'll be back.
Starting point is 00:00:42 And then give me follow-up questions. But we're having like a wholesome episode because we are. We spent time with our parents last weekend. What did you do? I went out to dinner last night with my mother, my father, and my brother. The OGs. I love when it gets back to the OGs. You're like, we started this family.
Starting point is 00:01:04 that's so funny because my dad said that at dinner he goes when is it ever just the four of us parents love saying that they love doing that they love being nostalgic for a simpler time was an italian restaurant it was an italian restaurant there was a blessed mary there uh so everyone was safe it is so funny as not that my brother has children either but like my parents are in a spot where like they're ready for grandchildren. They're kind of like, you know, like cool, whatever you want to do, but also like we're bored.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I am ready to be a hot grandma. Like now. And like they do kind of talk about Kitty as if she is my child. Sometimes I feel like I'm like playing pretend. I'm like, this is my daughter. And my mom's like, tell me what she did. I'm like, mom, this is sick. This is an animal. Like this is not a human child.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Well, my message does. I said, Butter says. Happy Father's Day and he was like, okay. Well, because like your brother has real human children. Oh, shit. I didn't tell him happy. My brother's not a dad. Like, I know he has, he has two and a half children. But like, he's my little brother.
Starting point is 00:02:20 He's not getting a happy father's day. That's insane. It is funny to think of like your siblings, even like your close friends. Like whenever I see like a TikTok or a meme or something that's like, wait, my friend is a teacher. and that's just like hilarious to me. Like it is weird to think of the people closest to you. My little brother's a father.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Like, okay, you're child rearing. Sure. Sure you are, dude. I love looking at his daughter being like, your dad is my little brother. I beat him up. I beat him up. Speaking of family,
Starting point is 00:02:55 I had a realization this weekend. I was in shelter island with my family. And this is like, I don't know how I didn't understand this, but it hit me, we are the 5K family. What? Paige? Paige.
Starting point is 00:03:14 When I tell you, it was Friday, my mom's like, come over. Like, we have a fun weekend. Like, I spend time together. It's been forever. I was like, I would love to spend quality time with my parents. Yeah, sweet. And she goes, you know, it's crazy. I'm singing the national anthem for the 5K on Shelter Island this weekend.
Starting point is 00:03:33 can you come support me? And I said, of course, National Anthem, hitting that note. Are you kidding? You're an icon. She goes, and maybe, maybe if we feel like it, we can walk it. Maybe if we feel, and I'm just like, okay. She is such a trickster. She is such a trickster. I was bamboozled. I was led astray. I get there and this bit, she's stretching a little. I'm like, it's funny. Why she's stretching? And she's like, do you want to water? I'm like, why would I need a water? Wait, was your dad there? My dad was there, but his foot hurts. So he's just standing there. He's fucking good. He's so good.
Starting point is 00:04:06 He's so good. He's giggling looking at me. And then she's like, let's look at all these little kids. Let's walk it. Let's walk it. It's fun. Let's walk it. What is, how long is a 5K? Like how?
Starting point is 00:04:15 It's around three miles. Which again, what's three miles? Well, it's not short. It's definitely not short. And why are we still doing 5K? Like, we're in America. Let's do miles. Why are we suddenly European when it comes to races?
Starting point is 00:04:29 But I digress. Wait, why are we suddenly European? I have no idea. It's like, then let's start calling soccer football. Right. Like, let's change all of our measurements. Let's have any consistency. But you know what it is?
Starting point is 00:04:42 It's a trick people to run these races. They're like, it's, it's just a 5K. It's just 5K. So she looks at me and she's like, let's just, let's start with a jog. And then if you're tired, we can walk. Now, mind you, yes, I've been playing some tennis. Yes. No, yeah, that's all I've been doing.
Starting point is 00:05:00 I believe that's. I was about to list like all the physical activity. Look, I played some tennis and that is fast twitch muscles. Do you know what fast switch muscles are? I don't. I'm a fast switch muscle girly. That means in a sprint, she's ready.
Starting point is 00:05:17 First step fast. Slow twitch muscles are people that can like, they run slower, but they run for long periods of time. I'm all power. I can like run away from a lion, but like if they're like run with the lion for a long time, I'd be like the lion could eat me. And what if your knees are?
Starting point is 00:05:37 I'm sitting here weighing my options and I'm like, um... You're like, do I have a Twitch? I would rather not be labeled in this situation. Wait, me saying I have fast switch muscles is so annoying. I'm... Oh, you don't have fast switch muscles. That's embarrassing for you. I also feel like you made that up.
Starting point is 00:05:57 No, I turned to my mom and said, I fast switch muscles. I can't run a 5K. My muscles don't work that way. They're fast which. Ask my doctor. I feel like if someone asks me to work out, I respond as if I am like your broke boyfriend that you like haven't broken up with yet. I'm like the way my body is actually like set up is I can't access my legs right now. But this is, let me just explain my mom.
Starting point is 00:06:26 The bitch is fit. Yeah, she is. I apologize for calling my mom a bitch on this podcast, but she knows. in an endearing way. But she deserved it this weekend because she was laughing. So she, and she looked at me and she's good at running. Like she's light on her feet.
Starting point is 00:06:42 She has slow twitch muscles. She's like, so we start jogging and I'm like, okay, like this is bad and I only have to do this for like an hour longer. And there's like little kids passing me. There's like old people passing me. Like there's all types of people passing me. And they're running. And they're running.
Starting point is 00:06:59 But you know what? I'm healed. Like I'm in my healed error where like back in the day if someone passed me I'd be like I can't let that 12 year old past me I'm gonna beat them but now I say you know what that's not my journey today But she's there and she's like come on let's speed it up So we run one mile and I'm dying I mean come on what is this eighth grade like no And also I'm like this was supposed to be a beautiful weekend of bonding we're by the way no music just silent me and her running silent and I in my head I go what would page you right now?
Starting point is 00:07:31 And I go, Paige wouldn't even put herself in this situation. So I can't. This is why I stay alert. I would have seen that line of questioning from Lenore and knew I was getting into a bad situation. Because in my head, I was like, she wouldn't ask this of me. Right. You're like, this is my mom. This is.
Starting point is 00:07:48 But she knows that I love her. And in that moment, she's like so excited to jog. Yeah. And my fucking dad standing at the sidelines cheering. I was just going to say, that's my favorite part of this whole story is that your dad's like, yeah my foot hurts okay sure it does that is literally me and you
Starting point is 00:08:06 at any event when we get asked to do something and you always are the first one to get out of it and then I'm stuck holding the family together I'm like sorry I just got a UTI and just it so I tell her it's like embarrassing but I'm like and I was fit back in my day
Starting point is 00:08:23 my mom and I used to jog together and I said mom I'm a comedian now I can't do this so we stopped we're walking and she's like okay you ready to run again and I'm like okay so we're on and off running the whole time and she's rolling her eyes at me she's like you're ruining my time and I'm like I didn't know we're doing a timed mile that's like the number one rule that I told the gigglers I would never do and then she was like okay well don't make fun of me on giggly squad and I said well don't do things that would cause me to tell on you on giggly squad I feel like a lot of people say that to us
Starting point is 00:08:59 And I'm like, okay, but I'm an entertainer. And what you've just given me is entertaining. And in my brain, I'm going to tell the story in a magnificent way. You're going to love it. Yep. But this is my. This is my experience. And look, do we protect identities from people who, of course.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Of course. Of course. Of course. However, mom, I'm throwing your name. Yeah. all over the place because this was disrespectful and then well at the very end I sprinted and I won well who were you against my mom no but I beat my mom after telling her I needed to walk the whole time and she was like why did you sprint and I was like because everyone was watching and I couldn't look like a loser you're like I'm not going through the finish line with people thinking I walked it like that's insane
Starting point is 00:09:55 okay it's so funny that we're like on walking TikTok right now but like I went on a walk with my parents this weekend like a couple of times and I think one of like my biggest revelations is that my dad is he beats to his own drum like he doesn't care he's like the number one person that like doesn't care what other people are doing he's like focused on his own what he's doing what his family's doing like he doesn't know he doesn't care so like he's never walking into a situation and feeling like embarrassed by anything because he's like, I don't know you and I don't care about you. And I learned that over the weekend when he went walking in jeans. And so that is so dad. It's so dad because I'm like, in my head, I'm like, well, what would he put on other than jeans?
Starting point is 00:10:51 And then I'm thinking like, I've never seen my dad. A couple things. I've never seen my dad get in bed and I've never seen my dad get out of bed. He's just perpetually awake. You've never seen him not in jeans. And I've never seen him not in jeans. I've seen him in like a suit pant and a summer linen pant.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Yeah. But like in the winter I'm thinking like, oh wait, this man only knows jeans. Yep. And he's so comfortable in him. And he's so comfortable in them. They're perfectly broken in. He should be in a levee's. commercial. Can I pronounce it right? Levi's. Sorry. I panicked. Wait, that's so cute. Does your dad also,
Starting point is 00:11:36 like, when he's hanging around the house, sometimes if he is wearing shorts, like he pulls it up like too high. That's just my dad. No, I've never seen him in shorts. Wait, what, no, the only type of shorts I've seen him in are like khaki shorts. Yeah. He might have like a white pair of linen shorts. I kind of want to send him like a full Lulu Lemon track suit. Like, windbreaker matching him or like in a velvet track suit like so Italian don't get my brother started he he has zero athleisure that's what it is he is zero athlete sure so he doesn't work out what does he do to work out he walks and drinks coffee his metabolism is fast but he is you that's what you do okay well that was the other thing over the weekend um the segment what
Starting point is 00:12:26 pissed me off this week is just talking about that segment as a whole that's just like taken from my real personality and my real life like of talking to my mom because like if I'm talking to my mom I'm telling her multiple things that have pissed me off in the past couple of days and this weekend I was popping off about something like in the comfort of my own home with my parents and I'm like and that couldn't and like there was a lot of like and then she did this and so it was a lot of hands it was a lot of facial expressions. I swore a lot. I have FOMO. But not at anyone. Just like, no. Telling a story. And my family was like, it's just really crazy how like you are your dad. And you have the exact same personality. And my brother was like, I thought dad was like really psycho,
Starting point is 00:13:12 but you, you're so angry. Like what do you? And my dad goes, yeah, page, I didn't get angry till like my 40s. What I love how he's self-aware. You know what's making me fuck. You know what's making me fucking angry guys. Wait, wait. I'm obsessed that your dad literally goes, one day I woke up 40 and I said, I'm fucking over this shit. I'm done with you.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I'm done with you. I'm done. But the first 40 years, Gary was just like smiley, happy, whimsical. And like he's misunderstood, honestly now that they're saying that I'm like him,
Starting point is 00:13:46 he's misunderstood. But I feel like he's not scary. I feel like he's not scary at all. No, he's not scary. It's like Kim could be scary. Like, Lenore could be scary. That's scary.
Starting point is 00:13:56 He's more like you're being stupid and that's pissing me off. Yes. Like do it right. But when he's always a little mad, it doesn't come across as mad because that's his baseline, you know? And that's his baseline. Which is actually how I feel about you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Like if you're a little too happy, I'm like, did we take. Did we slip a pill? Like last time when you were getting your eggs frozen, I didn't like that at all. Yeah. Or like the time that I said I was excited to see you in L.A. And you were like, your page's phone got hacked. This is a scam email. She's trying to scam text me to click a link.
Starting point is 00:14:33 But Paige, this is my family. After the 5K, we go get dinner or whatever, get home, barely enough time to watch TV. And you know I like to like have... Decompressed. Decompressed. Thank you. Wake up in the morning, 9 a.m. We have to go play 9 holes of golf.
Starting point is 00:14:49 No, she's running a training. the 5K family that I try to protect people from and I realize it's in my own home and sometimes it's right under your own nose and sometimes it's your own family from inside the house and then I thought back at things and I said oh my god but this thing that's why there was one ex-boyfriend in particular who I dated who was not athletic but he was like successful in other things and my family was like we don't care. My dad was like, can you throw the football with a good spiral or not?
Starting point is 00:15:29 And like he, and I literally had to like pull him aside and I was like, hey, like this isn't a joke. This isn't a bit. Like my dad needs to see how higher vertical leap is. It's just part of like our culture. He didn't make the cut. And like that wasn't my fault. It wasn't my family's fault. It was his fault.
Starting point is 00:15:46 And sometimes that happens. And sometimes that's not where you're meant to be. If you're like me, then you save a bunch of workout things on TikTok. and then you never go back to them. And if you do go back to them, you try and do the moves and you're just like, am I even doing this right? That's why you need Ladder. It gives you a real plan from an expert coach. So if you're looking to grow your glutes, grow your biceps, you want to find abs.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Or maybe you just want a plan for when you're going on vacation this summer, something easy you can do. Ladder is an expert strength training plan. And it's not a content library. These aren't influencer workouts or challenges. It's real progressive programming designed by, certified coaches. And they can do any strength training style you prefer. So Pilates, bodybuilding, at home, hybrid strength, glute focused. Maybe you have kettlebells. You want a whole kettlebell workout plan. They can do it for you. And the app remembers your weights, your reps,
Starting point is 00:16:39 and sets. So you can see yourself getting stronger over time. And your team has a group chat where your coach answers questions and members motivate each other. So Ladder really is providing a structured workout plan and not random exercises. And it's like having a personal trainer in your headphones at all times. And it's less than $1 a day. So it's extremely accessible and so much better than $100 per session with a personal trainer. I also always feel like I want a personal trainer, but then I realize I don't really want to have to interact with somebody else. So Ladder is just so perfect because I'm getting the perks of having a personal trainer without having to leave my home or actually meet up with someone remove the guesswork with ladder and get a real coach in your ear telling you exactly what to do

Starting point is 00:18:06 oh my god she made me go on so many walks oh my god and she was feeding me like best nutritional food Wait, remember during, remember when you got your appendix out? I feel like we moved on from that like so quickly. Like I know it was like five years ago, but like. Just send some love my way. Okay, speaking of love. Great segue. Of course.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Like, of course. I was like so angry when they put Love Island USA on at the same time that Love Island UK was on. Because I was like, I can't do two Love Islands at the same time. that's like I have a family like I can't be watching 50 episodes so I was like let me start love island UK and I'll let love island USA rack up a couple whatever I'm I start love island UK but then I'm on TikTok and everyone's talking about love island USA so I'm like okay let me just like give it a go and here I am now watching two love islands you have so much on your plate right now are you away thank God I'm going on vacation
Starting point is 00:19:15 next week because I have so much TV. I'm being the anchors in which I am beholden to my bed right now because I have to love island. Also, you can't just watch the shows. You have to get opinions. Like, you have to immerse myself in the culture. Yeah. I actually would like to take back my stance that I was annoyed that they were on at the same
Starting point is 00:19:37 time. I actually think it has been so interesting to watch Love Island UK around the same ages, maybe some are a little younger, some a little older, and Love Island USA at the same time. Again, same ages. I wouldn't be gentle. I'm trying to be gentle. I'm trying. I'm finding it. I mean, I love the word gentle. That's what I tell Lois when she goes to pet a cat. I'm like, gentle. Gentle. Gentle. Gentle. Jealous. Gen Z. Because here's the thing, Love Island USA, this is now the first batch, really, of, they're all. Gen Z. Every single one of them is Gen Z. I think the oldest one is 29 and that's like an older Gen Z. But like the girls that are early 20s, they're there. During COVID, these poor kids were in high school. So they're not having a traditional experience. Do they mention that on the show?
Starting point is 00:20:38 No, not really. I don't think. Well, people were posting things of them from high school and someone was like, this is COVID, like during COVID. Because my cousin who had COVID during high school, she fully is like self-aware and she's like, our being naughty was just like going outside. Like yeah, you guys were like experiencing things. I think there's multiple, multiple factors happening. I think there's like the self-aware of people that are like we didn't experience sneaking out, getting caught drinking, going to a field.
Starting point is 00:21:15 They had. meeting new people. They had ring cameras. Their parents were tracking them. It was a totally different experience. Also add in COVID. But the USA version, like the one girl used the term lustful the other night. And I, since this is a religious podcast because we talked about religion like the past
Starting point is 00:21:36 two, I was like, what 22 year old girl is being like, I'm not. Is she a Mormon wife? She goes, I'm not lustful. And it's like, Bip, you're on Love Island. All we want you to do is lust over everyone. Every single couple is the same from the day they got in there, which is unheard of in the Love Island world. They're about to go to Casa Moore and it's like, are you guys even going to sit here? Well, I know that one girl came in.
Starting point is 00:22:07 She's so pretty. Soul. And then soul. And then she just got kicked off and she was like, it's okay. I've been to 10 schools. and like I'm used to people not accepting me. Here's the other part. Love Island is about watching them form connections.
Starting point is 00:22:24 And so you're interrupting me in the middle of my dissertation. No, I'm laughing that like you are the mouthpiece of Love Island. I'm so passionate. I was like an OG 2015 watcher. I'm passionate. And UK is very like currently their season is sticking to the original model. Like it shows more conversations. It shows people falling like for each other.
Starting point is 00:22:48 And here's the other thing. They're all very honest in the UK. Like they're saying to each other, these are my top three. Like this is who I'm going after. And the girl who's coupled with that person could be sitting right there. But they're all very open and honest. USA, the girls are all feel like they're faking it like with each other and their partners. Oh, interesting.
Starting point is 00:23:13 The next thing I would like to say, there's two men. There's two men on Love Island, USA. I knew you were about to speak about a man by your face. There's two men on Love Island USA. And look, if they said this season is for the bisexuals, I'd be like, hell yeah. Let's see some switchups with the girls and the guys. But what's happening currently right now is there's two gay men on the show. Was that the ones checking out each other's Wieners?
Starting point is 00:23:39 Sorry, I've noticed Wiener before my life. He said, and let me quote this. girth check opens his pants guys guy looks in me it does like a good facial expression cut to next scene the guy says would you think about what you saw other guy responds long other guy goes I wasn't even like fully erect I was at a semi I go what what's happening here I go are we like are you guys trying to make us feel stupid these guys be what you want be together though but like Don't come and trick us. I would love bisexual love island where you don't know who's.
Starting point is 00:24:18 That would be amazing. I would love it. That would, why is that not a thing? Wait, so are you saying you like the UK better show? Yeah, but I've always liked UK better. Sometimes it's bad luck with a group. Totally. This year's casting was interesting.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Because sometimes like a group mentality forms where like someone is being a little like, this is how I feel. And then everyone's like, oh, I guess. we have to do that where if one person that's like what they say with stand-up comedy if there's one like really good laugher everyone else feels like they can laugh so if you have someone in the group that's holding people back that could be a bad bad thing um but i love the honesty of the UK the UK is so honest and they're having like conversate like they just show you more of their conversation so you can feel when people are like falling for someone else or whatever
Starting point is 00:25:09 USA is also It's almost like they're very aware Of how you win the show And who becomes an influencer Which of course they all want to be influencers Yeah But I think that's why they're all sticking With their original partner
Starting point is 00:25:24 And it's like okay but that's not the point Like Oh because they want people to like Stand their relationship Yeah but they all did it So it's like we know that you all don't like each other There's just no life Then you could be a villain
Starting point is 00:25:37 If you say like I'm not into this anymore and the people are mad at you. It's also like that's what the game is. Are they having sex in the villa? Some of them are, yeah. What's also funny about people dating in their early 20s, like, Love Island would be so different with people in their 30s because first of all, like, you know exactly what you want.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Like you talk to a guy for three seconds and be like, I'm so sorry, I don't want to waste your time here. I can't do this. I've done this actually already and it wasted three years in my life. I can't do this with you. And you're not going to change. And you're already 34. So like we already see what we have to see.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And then it's like, with your 20s, no one knows who they are. So how do you know what you want when you don't even know, like, they don't know what they want? That's why I would love if this season was just like fully bisexual. Because I'm like, they're pointing it right in our face. There's no way the editors don't know that we're thinking that they're picking these like clips to show on the show. And it's like, wait, they should just be a couple. I love that for them though.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Like if there's anyone that loves a guy that loves another guy, it's me, honey. You can tell me. It's Pride Month. Yeah. Hello? Literally the best month of the months. Anyway, so I've been deep in, like two different versions of Love Island. It's so intense.
Starting point is 00:26:52 And then my brother made me start this show with him. So I watched four episodes this weekend. Can I guess? Yeah. Widows Bay. No. But on Apple TV. No idea.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Cape. Cape Town. Cape Fear. Oh. I do have to say Apple TV doesn't put out a lot. Their quality, not quantity, honey. Top notch. I'm watching this show.
Starting point is 00:27:17 And it is one of those shows where you're like, oh yeah, these are good actors. Like the acting in it is so, and I'm not one that loves a thriller. It's not really my vibe. But Martin Scorsese, is like the director and the main guy is I always forget his name but he's married to Penelope Cruz what the heck is his name oh Javier Bordem yes yeah that's my friend is it
Starting point is 00:27:49 I interviewed him once oh I'm like how do you know me are gonna be back people don't talk about them enough as a couple like when you know when people are like oh my god my celebrity couple if they break up all die like no one mentions them It should be them. Well, they're like so good looking. But it's an example of if you want to stay out of the spotlight, you can. Well, I don't think they live in America. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Like, think about the odds of both of them becoming as famous as they are and like getting together. And they both like speak the same language. It's just like very, I think their story is very beautiful and no one ever talks about it. And they have kids. I don't think I've ever seen their kids. I love them. I think they have a boy. girl i love them so anyway i'm watching that show and it's really scary and weird but i like it i
Starting point is 00:28:41 watched the gilded age the first couple episodes with my mom who are you well my mom was making me do all these things that i don't normally do um the outfits are so chic they were just filming in albany new york honey oh people don't talk about back then like if you were rich you had a ballroom how country is that? You had a ballroom and you were like had to throw a party at least once a year. And they were obsessed with charities. Like having charity parties. And basically how all the New Yorkers who were like old money New Yorkers didn't like in 1890 when the new money New Yorkers came in, they were like, you're a new money bitch.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Or how about how they talk about like downtown. They're like, no. no going downtown that would be insane and it's just like it's the best show ever that's another show where the acting is phenomenal carrie coon is that her name i fucking love her and the older lady whose sister's Cynthia nixon cracks me up she hasn't smiled once and i love carrie coon as a brunette obsessed with her as brunette also name drop i went to high school with louisa jacobson and louisa and i were in a play together and her mom is Meryl Streep and Meryl Streep watched me in a play.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Did anything come of it? No. Was it possibly the worst day of her life? It could have been. But Meryl Streep was watching me act back in the day? Imagine Meryl Streep having to sit down and watch your performance of anything. Like I would be, I'm like, no, I can't do it in front of Marell. Imagine Meryl Streep was like, let me come to Giggly Squad Live.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I'd cancel the whole tour. Wait, I'd be like, Meryl Streep, can you just turn your head right now? I can't take this. I can't focus right now. You actually can't come to get Billy Squab. No, Louisa was on the tennis team with me. And yeah, just so funny, like, how you never forget a face. Like, she actually looks the same as she did in high school.
Starting point is 00:30:41 And that's my claim to fame. That was my claim to fame. And when I went to PolyPret for two years, and that was where there were a lot of, like, richer families that were there. And I was on my little tennis scholarship. And that's when a girl lost her Chanel. And I asked the teacher who Chanel was. I said Chanel's lost.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Can someone find Chanel? Oh my God. They were like, who's this alien that just transferred? Who's sending their fucking 13 year old with Chanel earrings to school? Okay, they could be vintage. Like, they could be... But that's so New York. That's very New York, Sydney.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Yeah. Also, I don't understand time periods. Like, I'm like, anything before 2000, I'm like, that was the 1800s. Yeah. I love a period piece, though. You know I love a period piece. But like 1890, I didn't realize the colors these women would wear because I guess all the photos, did they have photos, were like black and white. So like I didn't realize they were wearing like vibrant colors all the time.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Oh, yeah. I guess I've never thought of that. She's in like some purple-ass dress. I'm like, I don't know if they had purple in 1890. Oh, you thought they were all just wearing black? I thought everything was black and white. I'm just kidding. But I didn't, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:31:56 I thought it would be like light colors, like a light pink or like a light. light blue these bitches were wearing orange they were also wearing like like they were getting dressed in the morning like they had to course it up they had to like do a skirt do a dress over yeah then you had to get your hair done like i would have hated it are you kidding the my would have been like i'm out Hannah my dream is to have a ladies maid like someone who are you fucking kidding me you know i love a period piece though like I've done so I know so many ladies maids like characters are this is that like she just goes around with you to make sure everything's okay yeah she's just like literally vibes with you and she it's basically like your assistant and it's just like your friend and she comes in she helps you
Starting point is 00:32:44 get dressed and she helps you get undressed and you gossip with her she helps you do your hair she like helps you find the latest fashion and if you're not married she like chaperones you so she could like get into mischief with you and I just feel like in a past life I either was a ladies' maid or I had a lady's made. Had a ladies' maid. Because they feel very connected to the ladies' made situation. I feel very connected to a D.L. Jester. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:11 No, but corsets were like unsafe. Okay, you know what's also crazy about like watching Gilded Age is that's Anderson Cooper's family. Like people don't. People don't. People don't enough. Talk about it. Like that's literally he is. is the descendant of the Vanderbilt.
Starting point is 00:33:30 And I'm pretty sure that's crazy. Could you imagine? Could you imagine being able to, like, remember when you were obsessed with that Mormon website for a minute? Oh, my God. What was that Mormon website? You like literally went on and on about. Family search.org and everyone got like a virus from it.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Everyone's social security numbers have been stolen, but we learned a lot. Imagine being able to just like Google. your family's history like so easily like him like well the gilded age is cool because it's all actual people right like the asters yeah the aster's the assers were real people the russells are based on i think the vanderbilt they the russells aren't a real family i don't think but the asters are real it's also so funny like she gets this like corner mansion and they're all like who'd you get to as your architect and she's like some guy from france and i'm like rich people are always the same
Starting point is 00:34:27 Like that's the same conversations rich people. They're like, oh, who did your home decor? Yeah. Who did your gardening? Mm-hmm. Also, they had, they had horses. Yeah. And they sent cunty little letters to each other.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Like, it seems like roommates, like... Well, they would have a footman. A footman would, like, bring your letters to different... My ears are ringing. And the doctor gigglers would say, get that checked. Okay, and some bitch better shut up about me. See, I always assume it's an ex-boyfriend, not a girl. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:01 None of my ex-boyfriends can form sentences, so. Do you know what's so annoying about my ex-boyfriends? Hmm. A crazy high percentage of them, and I'm not trying to brag. It's more like because they're, I don't know what type of guys they are. Do not have social media or, like, any online presence. Like, the last thing they have is, like, their high school sport they played. And every now and then, I try to check up on some of them, and I'm like, like, ghosts.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Like literal ghosts. Yeah. But it means they're straight, I think. We're so same, same, but different. Because, like, I also haven't seen any of my ex-boyfriend social media in years. But that's because I'm fully blocked. So, like, I don't know if they have social media or not. I have not taken a gander.
Starting point is 00:35:47 I have not even. Look, also, I feel like you get to a point where, like, it's even past the point of icked out by that person. You literally forget. that they exist. So like if you see something, you're like, oh my God, good for you. Like that you're still kicking. Like that's a completely different man than I knew. Yeah, I'm like, I actually don't even know who that person is.
Starting point is 00:36:08 And like... The one thing if you really want to find something, though, on an X, yeah. Find his mom's Facebook and you'll find a really bad photo of him at Thanksgiving. Like, that's, that's the T. Not to be annoying, but I have to bring up my grandpa. Wait, how did I know you were just about to do that? you get a certain look in your eye.
Starting point is 00:36:29 I go and now it's the segment of the week of things I want to say about my grandpa. No. I feel like your grandpa is in heaven right now being like, shut. Shut the fuck up. Let me rest in peace. Get over it. Get over it. I said I loved you like a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Stop summoning me. No. No, so my mom and I are on Shelter Island. Shelter Island's triggering for me because my grandpa's house is like across the street from my parents' house so I have to walk past his house like yeah that is sad so I was talking to my mom basically like we're walking
Starting point is 00:37:04 doing our mental health walk you guys are doing a Ouija board I'm picturing Lenore doing a Ouija board she'd be so teacher about it she'd actually be great to she'd be like she'd be like A B, C, D E. Yeah so we're walking and we're talking about
Starting point is 00:37:32 Grandpa Jerry and a car speeds by us. Now, Grandpa Jerry famously drove a little too long in his life. Hated speeding. He had a car too. He was 92 and he was
Starting point is 00:37:49 driving crazy on these roads. So like you'd see a crazy, you'd be like, there's Grandpa Jerry. And he had a blue Mazda that was like a very unique car that no one had. As we're talking about Grandpa Jerry, a car starts speeding by
Starting point is 00:38:03 and it's a blue Mazda. And it was to the point that I wasn't like, oh, that looks like his car. It felt like I was in that moment watching my grandpa drive past me. Oh my God. And both my mom and I are like, that's grandpa's car. And this is a small island. There's like seven people on this
Starting point is 00:38:18 island. What did you do with his car? Like, where is his car? Oh, I have no idea. But like, it wasn't like given to, actually I have no. I should check that. Like, does someone on Shelter Island have his car? No. I don't think so. But like, it
Starting point is 00:38:34 was crazy. And then... That is so interesting. And then we, like, we're starting the race and someone on the mic is, like, saying people's names and they just say Grandpa Jerry.
Starting point is 00:38:46 In, like, really... It was like, Stephanie Pierce, Layla Thompson, Grandpa Jerry. Like, it was really weird. Wait, did you just name real people? No.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Oh. But I did come up with those names. I feel like I know a second of yours. Wait, that's kind of crazy. And like it is, it was Father's Day weekend. It's Father's Day. And then my dad said he went to go shopping and there was a guy who looked just like Grandpa that needed his help.
Starting point is 00:39:17 And I was like, I think like Grandpa just partied with us this weekend. Yeah. And Grandpa loves when I play golf. Wow. I have an astrology reading on Thursday. I'm like, I'm so excited. So excited. I should have given him your birthday.
Starting point is 00:39:33 I'm going to say I'm selfishly excited because I always like what they tell you about your best friend, your business partnerships. Like, how is the vibe? I'll give you all my info. Oh, I think I, like, I think I figured out Des's. Phone password. Phone number. I think I figured out who Des is.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Do you know what I have a fucking husband named Des? His name is Desmond. He was real name's Desmond. What is Desmondal name? Desmond, what? Ryan. So, I got nervous. I got nervous that I was,
Starting point is 00:40:06 Not going to know. He's so Irish. But, um, oh, yeah. I was always like, oh, butter. Wow, what an OG Giggly Squad crewneck? Wait. Should we make this again? Where is that crew net?
Starting point is 00:40:21 Butter say how did the Gigglers? No, we should remake that because I don't know where mine is. So I told Des, I want to read his chart. And he told me he doesn't know when he was born. And I'm like, I can't go to the archives of like 1872. I'm not going to find it. Where's his birth certificate? get who knows but i can't ask his mom anyway so i i waited a long time and now of nowhere i was like
Starting point is 00:40:46 do you know what time you were born and he told me so he was holding back on me because i didn't want me to read it so he did no so i can't trust anyone around me now i'm forgetting i think it was like 150 a m what was i'm where you born 12 p.m in the afternoon yeah he and i was wearing it like one wait, I was born at the same time. We're like, we're actually going to sleep in quick. We ride at, not dawn. Yeah. We're like, um, why don't you have breakfast and then we'll rendezvous and see what's going on?
Starting point is 00:41:20 Wait, when I was watching Mormon housewives, they were like talking about being pregnant together and I literally got emotional thinking about us at one day. We might be pregnant together. Well, you know what I think about in terms of that, that stresses me out is because like, at any given point ever because you're married and you're an adult woman you could call me at any time and be like hey i'm pregnant and then not to make it about me i'll have to scramble like i'll have to go get my eggs yeah i don't have to see if they're okay you call you go it's time time to defrost i'll literally just i'll have to do it you're basically saying like you're not going to let me do it alone if i do
Starting point is 00:42:06 it like you'll speed up the process like if next week i was like i think i may be pregnant you'd be like okay i'd be like okay give me a month let me get my affairs in order because i can't i can't just i'm like hold on i'm on my period right now give me one week and i'm wait how sick is that imagine if you called me and we're like i'm pregnant and i'm like okay coming like okay i will too okay i'm coming in friend groups i think like someone gets pregnant and then makes someone else want to get pregnant and it kind of like can go through a friend group a little bit. Anywho, anywho, Hannah's not pregnant. Her grandpa is still dead.
Starting point is 00:42:46 And Lenore's a personal trainer. So that's what happened this weekend. Okay. Now just to look forward, when are you going to Italy? Where are we at with the outfits? I'm stressed out. Like, do you need my help? Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:02 So this week I'm like, I'm slow. work down. Okay. I'm just doing like meetings and zooms. I'm not like getting ready and going anywhere. Yeah, I'm not performing anywhere. I'm just doing like my regular stuff and I'm also doing my maintenance stuff. So like I'm getting my nails and toes done this week. I had a little trim on my hair last week. Your pony looks really cute. Thank you. My hair is so greasy. I haven't washed it. I'm getting my lymphatic drainage massage. Who are you trying to look hot for? This is just like my pre-vacations. This is my pre-vacation stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:40 I wash all my spray tan off because I like to go no spray tan. Oh. So I can get a good base. And my outfits, I have been like ordering stuff, but I have not looked at everything as a whole. And so on Friday and Saturday will be like my Picasso days where I'm like, what about this with this? and let's take a picture in this and see if these shoes work.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Kim is so tired already. I could tell. Kim is like, she's exhausted. Well, Kim also like, Kim packs for Kim. And then Kim packs for my dad. And then sometimes my 38-year-old brother will say,
Starting point is 00:44:24 hey, what should I bring? And she'll say, oh, don't worry about it. I'll do it. And so that's like kind of what I'm trying to avoid as a wife and mother. I like that is like one of my top things that like I'm not packing for anyone your brother's smart I've done that before with like can you just help me start yeah no and next thing you know you're like thanks have you ever packed for does yeah sorry why did I ask you that yeah that was like offensive it's like do I know you I remember like does his stuff was on the floor and I was like you we'll pick
Starting point is 00:45:01 that up I'll pick it up and put it away but like I'm telling him that's what I did Yeah, I'm trying to weaponize my incompetence. Yeah, like if he thinks he could leave stuff on the floor and I'm just going to pick it up after him, that's not how we play this game. But then again, I do occasionally, I'm like, your stuff is on the floor and he's like, so is yours. And I'm like, okay, touche, two can play at that game.
Starting point is 00:45:24 I'm excited to see, because this is a whole new summer for you, what the little themes are going to be. Like, is there going to be chrome? Is there going to be butter yellow? is there going to be what kind of sunglasses I'm just itching to know Yeah I don't know Because last
Starting point is 00:45:43 Like every year before I always have one outfit in my head That I'm like I'm so excited to wear that on vacation And I don't have one of those yet Do you feel pressure like you have to be last year? Yeah I always feel pressure every day Hey hey listen Hey Don't put that on yourself
Starting point is 00:45:58 There might be a whole Here's the thing This is the longest we've ever gone for We're going for we're going for two full weeks. So there might be a whole week that I don't even appear online. Which I think is really nice. Unless my outfit is really good.
Starting point is 00:46:14 But I'm not even going to post it real time. I really am going to try and take one whole week of nothing on my phone. Gorgeous. And me and my mom looked at each other this weekend and we were like, we really, we need to connect on this trip. And she looked at me and she goes, we're going to hold hands a lot. and talk. And I was like, I wish my mom would do that instead. She tricks me. My mom was like, you know, it would be fun giving you a fucking hernia. She was so, at one point,
Starting point is 00:46:47 she was like, are you okay? And I'm like, no. She's like, what's hurting? I'm like, literally everything. And she's like, are you out of breath? I'm like, yeah, plus my legs, plus my arm, plus my lower back. Oh, Lenore. But no, holding hands with your mom is so cute. No, it's so sweet. She's the past. So just so the gigglers know the next two weeks, the episodes are going to be a little chaotic because Paige is going to be in a different time zone in Italy. And it's going to be fun. Like, it's going to be crazy.
Starting point is 00:47:15 We're going to feel like we're a Euro summer together. Was it last year that we were on a Zoom and I was in Italy and I fell asleep? That was a whole year ago. Wait, we've never even told the story. We're on a Zoom with Amy Polar and I'm in Italy. and we were like doing something and you texted me and you go you're literally falling asleep and I'm like it's I'm so jet lagged I don't I can't even keep my one eye open I think it was like two or three a m though at your time yeah I think we had a really important meeting and I was like of course I can do it I'm just like and you know you had too a little too much pasta that day and your body was like let me I was like no I'm awake I'm listening actually that was the scariest moment of my I'm like I'm falling I'm like I was like how could you do this to me right now question mark no all I do is screenshot your face during zooms it's my favorite thing to do because I'm like you can see yourself like you can see
Starting point is 00:48:16 the face you're making and you're still doing it that's and I know you're staring at yourself that's the funniest part of it that's the funniest part who's to judge me me me the whole time I'm staring at you like oh and she's, yep, she's bringing out her microcurrent device. You're like, oh, big yawn, big yawn. Like when your pet yawns, I'm like, are you big yon? She just woke up from a nap, but look how pretty she is. Literally me getting on a Zoom is you talking to butter. That's like how you speak to me.

And everyone looks at you weird and I'm like, sorry for me hygienic. No, I looked at you jealous. I was so jealous. Well, if it's after 5 o'clock, I could be anywhere.
