Actually, the other day, Joe did say to me, like, I know you think I'm funny, but, like, I know you don't think I'm, like, as funny as Hannah or something. And that's how it starts. That's how begins the next thing you know, I have to fight a man. I'm like, she's my best friend.

Yeah. Like I think I'm decent at lying to make people feel better, like being like... You can do white, cordial, normal human lies. Yes. Everyone can do like, oh my God, you look amazing. Yeah. You're human. You have control over your emotions.

Yeah. But I've empathy. I'm an empath. But in the morning, I wasn't like, never thought about like that I'd have to lie to you. because I was surprising you that night. But you go, what are you doing tonight for your birthday? And I hadn't had a pre-planned lie. And I was like, hub-da-hub-da.

Like I started being like, oh, blah, blah, blah. And you're not paying attention. I'm like, I actually don't care. You're like, I don't care. I'm hanging up. And I was like, oh, oh. And then I was like, doesn't I, going to go somewhere in Southampton for dinner?

And you were just like, okay. No, I do remember you saying Southampton. I was like, okay. And I remember getting off the phone being like, few, got her. then we get in the car to head to new york city because we're west hampton all to surprise page by the way my birthday and i'm so excited i'm like she's gonna be so happy like she has no idea i'm texting jo we're so into i'm like i'm on the road this is a big trip by the way it's like two hours to get to

the city on my birthday i realize i have a business call and normally business calls are like zooms and i'm like fuck she's going to see them in a car and she's going to want to wonder why I'm in the car. And then like, no, she's not. She's never wondered any of these things. But we got on the call, it's not Zoom. I'm like, thank God. So I don't have to lie to four people.

Yeah. I was sweating at that point. Meanwhile, you're just going about your skincare routine. Literally living my life. Honestly, I couldn't figure out what to wear. So I also wanted to cancel. Like, I was like, I'm not going. Like, I can't.

Am I wearing shorts? Like, what am I doing? Joe's only job was to physically get you into the car. Yeah. But this is where I almost messed up. Paige and I share each other's location. Which we just started doing.

Yeah. Because when you were in Italy, I just like kind of wanted to know. Yeah, I love glancing at where my friends are. Yeah, I was like, is she in the water right now? Yeah. I mean, you didn't move for two weeks. Actually, one of my girlfriends, I like just checked and she was in Sardinia. And I texted her and I was like sending me pictures of your outfits.

Like I didn't even know you were going. No, having your friend's location is so fun. So, but now I don't remember this being like that, but on IMS, I message, I'm whatever, iPhone. I'm a grandma. It says the person's name. And then like in big letters underneath it says where they are. Yeah. So I'm in the city.

I was going thrifting. I was having fun, like a city girl. So did you leave for the city right when we got off the phone? like in the morning I did on the audition where I couldn't really smile and then that didn't go well

and then I jumped in the car at like noon Okay So I'm in the city And then obviously something came up to my head That I wanted to text you Yeah So I texted you and then I was like

Fuck! Like I thought you were gonna get the text And immediately just see Hannah Berner New York, New York And I was like you fucking ruined it Like I was so mad at myself First of all you didn't respond for like two hours.

And you were like, K. And I was like, oh, thank God. She doesn't care. One, I didn't even see. I didn't even look at your location. And two, even if I did see New York, New York, I'd think nothing of you. That's your home. Like, what am I exactly?

How dare you cross the county lines without telling me? So this is where it gets good. Now it's like game time. Like, I've been winning all day for this. It's like, I'm getting ready. and I'm texting Joe and I'm like when you guys leaving like do you want me to be there and then you guys walk in like we didn't think about this stuff yeah or like what's the better surprise and he's like I'll go in first we sit then you come in and then I realize I have your location so I'm fucking tracking you me and des are parked outside the restaurant wow I feel like no one's ever tracking me that is so nice I'm always tracking tracking tracking also I'm never early for anything but I was like I cannot fuck up this surprise because I was like dilly dallying per usual so we get there early I'm like okay she's four blocks away they're through all they got in traffic they're at a stop sign

does watch as you guys come out we're literally stealth and I'm texting him then Joe gets to the front and he's by the way texting me the entire car ride yeah and you know I at one point I was like hello and he was like sorry I'm sending like a really important email and I was like I got so I was on TikTok. You go, didn't say a word to him, the call car ride. Again, I don't care. I don't care about anything. I turned to Des and I go, I just have to say a little disappointment page. I go, she goes around the internet being like, I'm Russia. I'm Russia. I keep tabs on my man. I keep tabs on my man. Bitch, I've been texting your man all day. And you didn't know shit. Where's this Russia? What, what do you talk about? I was in his DMs. We were Kiki.

ha ha ha ha ha because at first i was like she's on his shit she's going to immediately like read it off his ipad or something nope no no you had no fucking clue bro stop up your game i'm like i don't give a shit i thought that like immediately you text me and be like one i see you texting my man two i see this plans you made tonight three i don't want to go out tonight four leave me alone so i'm sitting at the table joe gets up and he's like i have to go to the bathroom which actually i was like you never have to go to the bathroom at a restaurant like i did think that but i didn't think anything oh is that not that's so funny people are either restaurant bathroom people or some people never do you're right no and if anything it's at like the end of dinner i've never whatever so he goes to the bathroom and i'm just like sitting

there the waiter comes over like why am i here puts like puts like water down i'm looking at the menu and then i look up and rounding the corner is hannah and does and my face i was like so excited like i hadn't seen you in years you don't know it almost got ruined because your man was giving me a play by play he gets to the front he goes oh my god they just asked me what my guest names are again i wasn't listening no so then i'm like we're fucked we're fucked like this is like what is he going to say so i'm like turning to des and like we should go back home this this hasn't worked okay you know what do you remember anything were you alive so a girl walked and she was wearing these zebra shorts.

And I thought, hmm, I love a zebra short. Was it me? But I didn't love the top she was wearing it with. And I was like, this is such an interesting top to pick with it.

So I'm in my own head looking at this girl's outfit. I had no, I had no. Oh, you were fighting some demons. Yeah, I was not paying attention at all to the girl up at the front. My thing is I'm so impressed that he was having full on conversations also texting me what the conversations were.

Like, he was on it and then he's also texting like this is fun like on the side like the man was texting paragraphs and i'm like this girl wait the best part was then like when we sat down Hannah was like i was texting joe all day like you had no idea and when we were in the elevator he was texting and i glanced over at his phone hello i'm alive and i saw a kiss face emoji and in my head i was like clock it because when i get home so she looks me she goes you did send him a kiss face emoji i go never sent him a kiss face emoji and i looked at it so then after the dinner we got in the car he texts a screenshot because the man needed receipts he was scared

he was scared yeah shaking in his boots and it was him to his dad yeah it was his dad to him yeah it was his dad to him because you have to see what side of the phone it's on is it him is it him yes yeah is it the blue is it the coming. I do feel like me and you are actually very easy to surprise because we're busy. Totally. I love when people will do stuff to me. They're like, you didn't even tell. I'm like, I have, sorry of a job. Also, here's the thing about me. I'm not asking a follow up. So like if you say, hey, I'm here. I'm like, great. I have a great time there. Do what you have to do whilst there. Doesn't have any impact on me. When it was my birthday and the kids were here like last week, Des disappeared for like two hours and you guys are going to be the funniest parents no I didn't

think anything of it I think at one point at one point you're going to be in the bathroom calling me like I'm hiding from my family no does disappeared and then I think my mom says something like do you know where does is and I was like nope and then he called me it was like checking in and I was like what are you up to and he goes running errands and I was like okay hang up the If he was going all the way to this place, Snowflake in Long Island. It's the best ice cream place in the world. Anyway, come back. Everyone was like, we can't believe that he got it past you so easily.

I'm like, that man could do anything behind my back. I wouldn't know. He's, I'm doing errands in the middle. Like, this doesn't do errands. Like, I didn't even ask a follow-up question. I was like, cool, don't care. Hang up. Yeah, cool, don't care.

That's why he has a second family. Yeah. I know he's busy with the second family. I'm not asking follow-up questions. So everyone was like, he got you. And I'm like, no, he didn't. Because I didn't want to look into it. If I looked into it, I would have known the longitude and latitude of Snowflake.

Like, I didn't care about Snowflake. Also, do you know how many things going on in my head at a given time? And I also have to worry about my husband. I don't have time for that. I don't even need to see the phone. If I get a gut feeling, I'm leaving. Actually, you're so right. When you say you're Russia, it's more, it's the vibes.

It's more the vibes. It's a lot of fur. It's a no tolerance policy vibe. It's we don't need proof. We decided it in our head. Guilty not guilty. See ya. And that's really what I want to portray.

Now, do we have great espionage? Of course. Of course, but that's expensive. No, I literally walked in. I was like, you dumb bitch. You can't even keep your man on lock. I go, I've been talking to your man. Happy birthday to me.

No, and then the other best part of it was we, like, told stories about my dad for, like, 15 minutes. Well, we realized that Des does an incredible Gary impression, didn't know. It actually stopped me dead in my tracks. I said, I thought my dad was there. But Des is weird that way. He'll watch, like, one TV show and be able to, like, play all the characters. It's, like, it's his own. fun it keeps it keeps things spicy in our relationship what we realized is that both our dads

can't keep their mouth shuts keep their mouth shuts and how like when you have a secret about yourself or something going on the moms keep it locked it's the dads that like dads have these weird group chats they like to say stuff too like my dad is a gossip no my dad has fully started rumors about me within our own family for sure. I'm like, once you get to the bottom of it, you're like, from my own home. We got a snake in here.

Because dad's, they like to brag. My dad also does this weird thing that like he's like giving you a compliment, but he's like, like mean about it. Like, like, okay, here's like a kind of a good example, but something that happened to me the other day, which is just like so me and my family.

So I'm looking for this one specific top. Okay. I'm like, where the heck is this top? I like just bought this top. I know it should be on my recent purchase rack. I have a recent purchase rack. And I know it should be there.

So I text Josephine. I'm like, hey, any chance you've like seen this top, this is what it looks like. Like this is the brand. And she's like, I haven't seen that top. But like,

if I did, it's here. And so I like look where she said. I love how that's Josephine's. number one job is to tell you where certain clothes are. Every article of clothing that I have, Josephine knows. And she knows where it is. That's actually really impressive.

So I'm like, I can't find it. Whatever, don't worry about it. I'm like saying the St. Anthony prayer. I'm like, let me call my mom. Maybe she took it home from Italy and I'm not remembering. I call my mom. She's like, I can't remember the top. You have to, like, I don't know what top you're talking about.

And in the background, my dad goes, Kim, you have the best memory. You should be able to remember. Come on, you can't remember for her. He's like yelling at her, but also like praising her. And she's like, I really can't remember. Like, you have to send me a picture of it. I find it online. I send her a picture of the top.

And she goes, you never ended up buying this top. You tried it on and you thought, eh, it does nothing for you. And I was like, oh my God, you're so right. She's like, you thought the sleeves were a quarter. too long so you decided against it and you didn't have a good bottom that you felt would really match like i've seen how you guys talk and it's like she was like remember you tried the dress on after and you were like this is way better and more flattering and and i was like yes yes yes yes of course of course how could i never remember duh thank you kim someone was awake thank you i also love how

gary's so invested in your like wardrobe drama beyond i'm the I'm going to be so honest. Now that I'm like obviously in my 30s and you look at like marriages and relationships compared to like what you thought they were as a child. Yeah. Ooh, interesting. Yeah. Like growing up, I remember asking my dad like when I was little, do you love me more than mom?

By the way, that's insane. No, that's crazy. You're a scary child. I'd say say say it. She's like, me or mom leave one of us at home. to die which one tell me now dad there's a building and it's burning and guess who's in it who are you saying i love you don't even bring up little gary in this you're like i know he's not top two yeah not when we're talking to my dad not in the lineup actually not even top five

no not in the lineup and my dad would never say yes and it would piss me off he would always be like No, your mother's number one. Like, I love your mom. And my mom would be like, I'll throw him in front of a bus. Like, I love you guys ten times more than I'd ever even think about loving your dad. So that was like the norm. Now that I'm an adult, I feel like, yeah. My husband, like, I feel like I'm going to love my children way more than, like, any man.

But I feel like my husband should be like, that's my. That's my day one. Do you feel like you appreciate your parents' relationship so much more now that you know that, like, they're just two people dating. Yeah. That have, like, made it work every year. There are literally two kids that met at school. Like, okay. When I hear my parents, like, in the morning having their, like, morning gossip and coffee, I'm like, what are they fucking talking about?

It's been 30 years. But I'm, like, so proud of them because I'm, like, that's huge. Like, when you're little, you're just like, mom and dad are talking again. And now I'm like, they're still talking. Think about the dead horses they've beat. Think about how much old material my mom has to listen to of my dad. And she still thinks he's funny. Well, you know me and I'm so revenge is my whole being.

Mm-hmm. And so, like, I will think about, like, people that didn't like my mom in high school. Like, I have beef with you. If you have beef with my mom from 30 years ago, I have beef with you today. Did you see there's a parmesan cheese? I thought that was big cheddar, just trying to stir rumors around. Oh, because of the heat? I think so, yeah.

Oh, my God, you know the Italians are not handling this well. It's just like, how much can we take? How much can we take as a society? It's too much. I know. I know. Also, I was thinking about my dad and my outfits, the only thing is, like, when I'd wear something like skimpy, you would just be like, did you pay for the whole outfit? Like, I feel like Gary never said that to you when you wore something.

Like, my dad would give an honest opinion. He'd be like, mm, I've seen better. Or he'll be like, yeah, that's nice. Or he'll be like that. That's it. He was like, it's giving like three years ago, Vogue. No, he has said things like, I feel like you have, you've worn something like that. Last season.

Me and my mom will go to him for an opinion. When her and I are stuck, we will go third party. Just to say. Sometimes a male perspective gives simplicity that you need because you've overthought it and he's just given you the immediate response. I'm going to bring up something controversial now that we're talking about dads. Friend of the pod, giggler, Brooks Nader. I have to say. So apparently she was topless in Italy.

Yeah. Topless in Italy with her dad and her family. And at first, Americans are very. very upset about this. They're like, this is weird. Is it kind of giving when you eat bread in Italy, there's no calories when you're topless in Italy, that's how everyone dresses. It's giving one in Italy. You don't have to wear clothes. I feel like I've been to a lot of parts of Italy. I don't think I've actually ever

been seen. I maybe have seen like two people topless. I love Brooks. I love the girls. I love the show. I love a girl's name that's plural. And it's just one person. I think she is like a very rare personality in this industry because I've met her a handful of times and I can genuinely say I think she's a genuinely nice, sweet person. So I feel like if there's things that people hate her over, I'm like, I don't like I don't care. I like her. I'm going to draw the line here. Oh, but they're in Italy. I'm not going to like not be her friend. I'm going to be like, that's quirky and that's crazy.

Hannah, I could be dying. I'm never showing my dad my tits. Never, not once. I'm not like picking aside here, but I do think different families have different. Like different strokes for different folks. Yes. I do think also like breasts in different cultures, granted she is our. culture but she's from louisiana

brus in louisiana if you think about it it's like men are shirtless all the time like some people are less sense about the nipples and maybe her and her sisters are like always topless they could be from a household there are households that are naked households yeah there's naked households and also it's not like there's like brothers and sisters it's just sisters like i don't think i ever thought that we would get here on this pod but like Truly nothing surprises me. What's your relationship with you being naked and like your mom?

Oh, we're naked all the time. Okay, yeah, same. Like, I, my mom has seen my naked body. If my mom, like, was like, sorry, I'm changing. Can you get out of the room? I'd be like, where'd my mom go? Yeah. No, I go into my mom's bathroom, take all my clothes off, poop in her toilet, say sorry.

And then it's interesting. Brooks Nader's knows how to get press. I'll say that. Also, there's no other men in that household. Like, that dad is probably so desensitized to women. Yeah. But still, I would argue I make one of the closest to my dad that, like, of people I've met. Yeah.

I would die. I'd actually shrivel up and die. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe there was some alcohol involved. Totally. It's a bunch of sisters and a mom, but it is funny. Her dad, like, is alarmingly young looking.

No, her dad's hot, for sure. He does look really young. He looks like he's, like, in his 40. Yeah. Yeah, he looks 37. But, yeah, you brought it up earlier, and I was like, that didn't happen. Then I looked it up.

I'm like, oh, yeah. Also, they're on a boat. Or the different rules when it comes. to boats, different rules when it comes to the Mediterranean. Different route. Also, it's hot. Totally. It's hot.

Not that she was wearing a big bikini to begin with, probably. I am not going to judge people that are in situations that I've never found myself in. I think that's like a really important thing. Ooh, I love that. To note. Like, you know, I could say what I might do. You haven't walked a mile in her lieu of a ton. I haven't.

and so things happen but I don't foresee that I don't foresee me being in that situation and choosing and choosing. I also think in general like some people just like love being naked. Like then for example like you'll keep your top on during sex. I know this. Totally. It's not the main attraction when you're with me. So, like, if you're buying tickets to this show, you have to know, you have to know who's starring in it. And they're typically never starring.

Sometimes they have a background role or they have a line or two, but. Make a cameo if you're lucky, but no one's going to really talk about it afterwards. They'll do the Christmas special, but you're probably not going to see them for a couple months. You know, like they're. You know, they've never stolen the show, but like, they're, they've never stolen the show. but like they're more like production you know they've trans they're the director now they're like actually i didn't make it they're in between scenes the people wearing black that come in and take the chairs out to put in the other scene furniture there's a name for those people but we don't know that but as women in the arts we should

oh god so anyway i'm hungover from yesterday no it's so much fun i had like 10 sips of a drink over three hours hungover. Well, you and I chatted a lot. It was one of those really good double dates where you and I really had a loan time and then the men had like we're talking. And that's my favorite kind. What do you think they were talking about? I have no idea.

I don't care. I think it was like a golf. It was a lot of golf. We were getting into it. We finish a thought and then we're like quick, quick, quick, what's the next on the docket? What's next on the docket? And we both are like, huh, oh, this, this.

But it was just, it's so, I just feel so lucky that. we as a foursome get along so well like it makes me really happy no and it's scary because i've accepted that like i might not like your significant other yeah and that i wouldn't cause drama i would just say whatever you're into yeah and we yeah yeah and so it is really um nice okay switching gears just a little because i've actually been watching it all morning so it's like on my mind i started watching Real Housewives of London, which I feel like there's no promotion for them. When did it come out? It's like episode five.

Oh. But it came out in London, I think, like a couple months ago. Is Caroline Stamberry in it? She has like a cameo, but she's not like one of the women. I don't even think she's like a friend of. No, not really. They fight about like contact lens. and like you borrow clothes.

I don't borrow clothes. Like how dare you? And then it's like you got all your money from your divorces. Like it's very like you don't really care about their drama, but their outfits are amazing. Like they have and their homes are really beautiful. They go to like the Cotswolds and like all this like really British stuff. Yeah.

So it is really good. But one of the dinners, I don't know. they were like doing like reality TV questions but one of the questions was like if your friend got arrested and you had no idea what it was for what's the first thought in your brain on why they got arrested so I like immediately thought like okay Hannah gets arrested what am I thinking and my first thought was she drove into like a building wait that's so like she accidentally drove into the yoga studio and she like literally didn't mean to and then her foot slipped and then she was being a little hot and then she was being a little hot and I'm resisting arrest and they were like, you're drunk. And she's like, I'm not drunk. I don't have a drink. They're like, you're high. She's like, I can't smoke.

That's so funny because last night we left the restaurant. And Des was like, I'm kind of tired. Like you drove 20 minutes the other day. Do you want to drive back? And I was like, first of all, I'm drunk. First of all, divorce. How dare you say that to me? He was like kind of joking.

Yeah. And he was like, you're drunk. And I'm like, I had six sips of menapural sprit. I'm fucking loaded. right now that's so unsafe and he's like oh i would never ask you i didn't know that you like you weren't you could have fully operated a vehicle the way i drink which is like so slow and i'm eating rapidly throughout i feel like i'm i was like beyond sober it was like the reverse they're like you're negative point three and when you're getting in the nitty gritty of a gossip

session you lock in physically and mentally that's so funny when you're like hammered at the club and then some drama arises and suddenly you're crystal clear. Yeah. You're crystal clear. You're alert. Yeah. I know what you would get arrested for. We talked about last night.

But something about smuggling a drug in an airport. Something regarding a weed pen. And I'd be like, get my girl out. Wait, do you want to hear how fucking prude I am? You ever, like, leaving a foreign country and they're like, do you, have you taken any, like, it lists 100 things in one of you? it is like dirt or something. I've never seen that.

Like you can't take like things from the ground or something. I didn't tell you my Italy airport story with the tax free. No. Did you miss it? Because I missed it when I was in France. Okay. So when you're in a different country and you're checking out, you can say like tax free. And then when you're at the airport, you'll get the money back.

I don't actually really know how it works, but whatever. I know that you get money back. from something from some government somewhere yeah so whatever it's a fucking pain in the ass to save all the receipts because then when you get to the airport you have to scan every single one yes well you also you bought a lot i bought a lot and they say if you're going to do it after tsa put it in your carry on in case they asked to look for it if you're doing it before tsa you can just show it to them in your checked bag, then check your bags. Now, I like to do it after TSA because you get through TSA and you're like, okay,

I'm few. I'm going to make my flight. Then you like you deal with all of that. Doing it before is like kind of a logistical nightmare. Whatever. Would I get through? Now, I have never in my travels put everything I've bought in my carry on because never once have they ever asked me to see it.

This time, I was like, you know what? I'm just going to put everything. I bought majority in my carry on and then I have like a few things I'll put in my checked bag just in case like I did kind of buy a lot this year I get through TSA I go to like the scanner thing I'm scanning my stuff it says like see a agent like go to the desk the girl standing next to me was like oh I think it's over there no line amazing it's like an older woman I go up I'm like hey this is like my code it says come see the thing come see a person this is my receipt She goes, come here.

Like waves me into the little built or little office. Office. She goes, let me see all your stuff. So I start taking everything. You're like, this is actually vintage from 2001 runway Mark Jacobs. This is a rare polka. Not pony hair. She goes, okay, there's like a coat, a coat.

I go, okay, it's not a coat. It's actually like a wrap that you could totally, I guess, wear it as a coat. But I was thinking more over a dress and then wear it as a total outfit. You could wear it as a coat. She did not want to do any of it. I could tell she didn't want to do it. And I was missing a couple things. And right when we got to like the first thing I'm missing, I'm like, oh, it must be in my checked bag.

Okay, I won't take the text. free for that item like don't worry about it i don't have it i know that's against the rules whatever and she goes no i can't do any of it and i'm like i'm like wait but i have the other stuff can you do the stuff i have and she's like now get out and i was like you just looked at all my stuff not one time did you say anything was cute okay never made a comment about my taste not a single comment now my tissue paper's all over the blaze i like have to get a bag of my bag i'm like i'm like i'm like i'm literally so upset. That's traumatizing.

You got robbed. No, I got robbed. And then I was like, is this just like a scam that's like not? Well, 100% in a way because in theory everyone's like, like when I went to Paris for the first time and I finally got the balls to buy a bag. And it was like so hard for me. And I was like, but you get like a certain amount off at the airport. So I go to the airport. I go all the way through the airport.

I'm sitting at the gate and I go, okay, now let's figure out. tax situation and they were like no that's when you first walk in i'm like who the fuck yeah i don't i thought that was like once you're in i'm trying to check in when i'm there in italy you can go there's like a little place like right by our hotel you can bring all your tax reforms and they like do the initial thing for you so that when you get there you scan one thing and you're like good so i technically should have just been like good to go yep but so anyway i'm so sorry that happened to you but anyway i'm an idiot because i think i was actually young i think i was like 14 or 15 i was traveling for tennis and it had this big thing like no foreign soil do not bring foreign soil

over the and i literally freaked out to the person next to me and i was like i think i have dirt in my boots no you're insane also i don't think i've ever it's like a thing like declare like are people standing in line and be and like declaring things yeah or people be like i have a lot of i have soil but I literally thought they were going to be like, you have some dirt under your shoe. You're going to have to come with me. And I'm not. I'm not stealing it. I think that's because there's like different diseases and plants and animals carry different things and you can't like.

That's how I am with police though. Like yesterday. I'm just walking across the street in New York City about to surprise my friend for my birthday. Yeah. And there was, you know, sometimes police cars stop. I actually know there's like an illegal turn. that people do and I think they were just trying to get people. But I'm immediately like, if I j-walk right now, am I about to be on the news?

Like you can't go, like a right on red in New York City? Yeah, there is one of those, but I'm not walking. And you know, and the cops like watching you? And then I'm like, how did I ever use my hands when I walk? I'm like, do I look like I'm up to something? Like, I get so in my head. Because there's always a rule that I didn't know about that they'll be like, illegal. You stepped on the crack.

Yeah. Anyway, I did drive. I'm not driving from the. city to the Hamptons. Oh yeah. So did you drive any of the way home or no? It was also dark. I was hammered. Have you ever driven in the dark? No. Well, no one talks about that. Like, do you just go, okay, today's the day I'm driving in the dark? Well, it is definitely a different experience. But nowadays cars like automatically put the lights on for you. Yeah, totally. But they don't, they don't automatically put like your high beams on. Sometimes you need your high beams.

Wait, do you remember, like, being with your parents in the car and them complaining about people having their, is it called high beams or like they call them? Blinker. The brights having your brights on. High beams. Like, this fucking guy is this fucking brights on. Like, that's all my childhood was was this fucking guy saw us his brights on. And I'm like, does no one? And he's like, oh, fuck, that's dangerous.

He's his brights on. Yeah. I used to get into a fight with my dad because in high school, my car looked like it had high beams on, but it didn't. and he'd be like you don't have to work the car And I'd be like, it's not. We get so annoyed. You're like women can actually drive really well, not my best friend, but a lot of women. It's actually feminist of me not being able to drive well to show like women can be multifaceted.

Do you feel like you are getting better though? Oh, for sure. It was always like mental and like a confidence thing. Because once you drive enough, you're like, oh, I'm not going to just hit a tree. Yeah, because I trust myself. Yeah. You then start to like get places and when you get there, you're, you don't remember how you got there because you were thinking of other things while you drove there. Also, this is embarrassing, but like it really makes me feel more adults.

Like when you never drive, you don't, you're still like, okay, where's the adult to drive me places where now I'm like, oh my God? Like I get out of the car. I feel like a suburban teenager. I'm like, I just got my coffee. Like I'm independent. I, you know, I did, of course, when I was driving to my blood test or whatever, I googled Southampton Animal Shelter. I go, oh, five minutes away, going there next. I started making stops.

I was doing whatever I wanted. Honey, it's freedom. Oh, also I got my food allergen results back. Not allergic to literally anything. So it turns out, just my head. Just bullshit. You're just allergic to bullshit. I'm just nervous.

So what about your stomach? I'm just a nervous Nelly and naive. eat something in my stomach goes I saw a thing on the internet and you talking about driving made me think of it and it was this girl talking about um I actually think she was talking about like women wanting to live a soft life versus like and she was saying it how like to live a soft life

is like privilege whatever that's not even like the part but she was saying I saw you losing it like you were fighting for your life and I was like she's not going to get it it's not super tongue it's gone it's never going to be found I saw a girl talking about living

life no no Hannah you're hungover too what did you drink yesterday the guy was like oh you got salt and sugar with salt and sugar on it I'm really in a spicy margarita kick okay I got it back

she was talking about how freedom really the definition of like women having freedom is having multiple options and one of the things about being able to drive is at any point you can get on you can go I'm like kids we're getting on the bicycle yeah like you need to you need to have an exit strategy at any time you need to know that you can go situations that I've been like like, well, it can't get out because the Uber's going to take 20 minutes. So many situations in my life where I've been going somewhere or doing something and I've had like a gut feeling and I'm like, I'm actually going to drive and then being and then something happening and me being like, yeah, see ya.

Like, I'm out of here. It's also nice to be able to be in a car and lock it. There's a peacefulness to it. The relationship you have by yourself in your own car. No, I've like met a new hand. I'm like, who is this? Yeah. It's like a different meta.

state. It's so funny. Oh, this is our mental health moment. Wait, did your mom give you like different saint cards like put in your car and like a rosary? She's not as Catholic, Italian Catholic as your mom. I'll tell my mom to send you some. Thank you. Because actually that would look really nice on my dashboard. And I like making eye contact with St. Anthony while I drive. Of course you need someone to keep it safe. But this is the thing about religion. If that gives you the confidence you need to feel calm on the road, then that's amazing. Amazing. And makes everything better.

Mental health moment, my mom was telling me because Bobby and Lois visited. And Bobby within two weeks, like, his speech was getting so much better. And my mom's like a little scientist woman in STEM. And I don't know where she got this statistic, but she was basically like, when kids travel, they have to like re-regulate and like they basically like retain. information better because they're like in a new environment and they're just like a sponge and then it got me thinking about I feel like that's with adults too like me and you have both traveled more recently and being in a putting yourself in a different environment immediately makes you grow it's kind of like when

you're in a new relationship like you come out of it and you're a more evolved person so I'm not saying we all have to go to Fiji but I'm saying get on the train go to rockaway beach go somewhere and it really does change your mindset. Even just go for a walk, it really does re-ignite your brain just to like rejiggle things. I know it's not like the scientific

way to say it, but I just wanted to give that advice because I think it's true. When you're like in the same routine every single day, it might feel safe, but I think it's also like keeps you stuck a little. That's why you should break up with your boyfriends. A hundred percent agree. And I think

like every couple months I feel like I do an activity that's like longer than like getting my nails done by myself like outside of the home and you feel better after you almost feel like more confident like oh yeah I can go and like sit there by myself like one day I went to the beach all day by myself and that was like small but I was like no I remember that day I'm going to hang out by myself and do stuff because you told me like four times you're like hey on the beach by myself because I was like do you're like do you're like Do you want to come to me? I'm like, I know I'm tracking you.

I know you've been there. But I also think I like challenging my identity where like people used to know me as like, oh, Hannah, the girl can't fucking drive. And I'm like, what if, what if one day I could drive, you can't put me in a box anymore. You don't even know who I am anymore. Like people from my past, they don't know this, Hannah. Right. I fucking drive, bro.

What are you going to do? Is this a childhood trauma thing that you feel like you conquered? not trauma i mean like a high school thing that you're like i never got my license well at first it was it was like a cocky new york city thing like people who like not driving we loves being like yeah we're from the city of course you don't oh okay never mind we're we're gonna park a car yeah where are you parking we're just like yeah we're from the city and i was like yeah i'm from the city i don't drive and then all my teammates would drive me everywhere because i had 10 teammates with cars and then it started to be a problem.

Then it started being like, it went from cool to, oh, you don't drive. Yeah. Yeah. And also I grew up where like my nana didn't really drive. My uncle didn't really drive. So I kind of had this voice in my head like, like you might be like them. Like you just don't drive. My mom doesn't really drive and she doesn't live in a city.

And that's why Kim's iconic. Kim's up driving like 15 years ago. Like she'll drive if she has, if she has to get someplace. But typically she's like, call someone and she's. She's like, drive me. And we do. I know plenty of people who drive that I'm like, maybe we shouldn't. No, and Kim is actually one of those people.

And you know. Yeah. You know in your heart of hearts. Yeah. And she knows it too. She knows it too. It's called self-awareness. Yeah.

Update from last week talking about the wiggles. Yes. Apparently there's a hot wiggle. His name is John. Okay. I can tell he's tiny. but he's cute he has a full family like a kid and a mom and a wife and he um he does like he has his own like wiggles page where he's like for the kids and they has another page where it's like does hot stuff

so he lives like a double life of like insta thought john and like hot dad like he's like move my son and he's like tattoos and stuff and you can't do this and then the other one's like oh I can't do an Australian accent but he's like outbackedike house wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wig wiggle what's his wife like I think she's like very normal cool she's not a wickle oh so he he married outside of the wiggle community the wiggle community in another life I was a wiggle I would love to to be, like, I looked at their concerts. It's fucking crazy. Wait, the Wiggles have really evolved since, like, I feel like I almost don't know what you're talking about.

A Wiggles concert, like, is all these toddlers losing their fucking mind while the Wiggles are, like, throwing props around and dancing and singing. Like, it's the most fun concert I've seen in a long time. You know who's pissed? Blues Clues. He's probably, like, I was going to say it. I put it in the time. I put in the work. And I can't believe there's wiggles, full on wiggles,

concerts and, like, spin-off. I can't believe the show is still even on. Okay, I want to produce a documentary series that finds all those people from her childhood. Do you remember, like, Miranda and the Big Clock or whatever? Yeah. So it feels like a drug trip. I'm like, I see a blues.

Yeah, yeah. We talked about this one time. Yeah. Big comfy couch. Yes. Steve from Blue's Clues. I want to know everything about it. about like how their life went and where they are now.

Wait, remember they were going to do a part two of that Nickelodeon documentary and then they never did. Someone put the kibosh on it. No, I need the part two of that doc. No, yeah, that was super upsetting. All I know is shout out Raven Simone. I'm obsessed with her. She's like low key the reason I got into comedy. Wait, I was just going to say, I see a lot of her podcast clips and she's very funny.

She's amazing. Yeah. They're doing, I think, that's so Raven reboot. and I'm kind of pumped up. I didn't hear that. I mean, everyone's going to the Lizzie McGuire concert. Oh. Did you know that Lizzie McGuire doesn't talk to her sister?

I'm talking about Hillary Duff or Lizzie McGuire. Same thing. Oh. Same thing. Like not her sister on the show, her real-life sister. Yes. Wait, we didn't talk about Sterling Point. It's on Amazon.

What's a Sterling Point? It's a show. It sounds like a guy who bullied me in high school. Sterling Point. It's scripted. It's set in Canada. It's set on this like gorgeous lake. And the main girl is literally Anne Hathaway's daughter.

She actually played Anne Hathaway's daughter in another movie, but I can't think of what it is. I love her. You're like, it's a period piece because it's in Canada. She's kind of. She's so beautiful. Oh, it's R-rated. Is it? It says Runchy.

Oh, no. That was something else. No, it's off campus. No, this is like a high school, like they're 17. You love a high school drama. I love it. The second it's in high school, I'm like, I can't. All I think about when I watch these high school dramas is my mother didn't let me

out of the house. How are you guys running around doing all these things, like experiencing all this mischief? Yeah. But I love it. I love a high school show. Maybe it's a Canadian thing because there's like wilderness. It's just so funny. And my mom was like, please go to the party.

Please go out and have some fun tonight. And I'm like, I've been matched tomorrow, mom. That is so cute. I would be like if I go out and I come home at this time, I could sleep for four hours. Also, I received backlash last episode because I'm normally full of positivity and life and light and laughter. Yeah. But I had some critiques on the first episode of Furious or maybe the first half of Furious. people were they were like how do you lost the plot like it's a great show it's a great show

do you have an update of how you recently felt about it okay well i just watched the fifth episode and there is a part that is very realistic though in life because she does like go back to her abuser and so i it made me upset that that's where they took it but i still stick by that i loved that show. I didn't get to the point where she had an abuser. You didn't watch the show and then you're coming and we've given you this platform and this forum to speak positivity

into the world and make a real change in the lives of women. And you come on this platform and you abuse it. Okay, let's not throw the A word around that often. And no, let's not. That's actually. If it is a story regarding abuse and stuff,

I think it's important and should be watched. It is. It is. It is a story regarding abuse, not just hers. It's the larger picture is about human trafficking. Okay. Oh, shit. So do you want to dial it back? Okay, I apologize.

Watch it by yourself. You can't watch it with a man because they, like, aren't watching the same things we are. They're not experiencing it the same way we are. Yeah. Give it a go. I also have yet to also delve into the Lindsay Clancy trial, but I have been getting messages to raise awareness. about postpartum depression and how badly hers was handled. Because it's not like it's a woman that it was like she didn't ask for help.

She went to so many doctors. Really? She was on so much medicine. It's insane. Oh, God. I also, it's not the first story of a woman accused of killing her kids of with postpartum depression. By the way, this is how we like to end the pod in the darkest, saddest place. Again, it's only up from here for your day.

Exactly. Exactly, because life is about perspective. We have the weekend ahead of us. Oh my God, yeah. Yeah. I have a wedding this weekend. And the Dapney Fall photo shoot is actually tomorrow, so I'm very excited. So exciting. I can't wait to see what everything looks like. And we love you guys.

Thank you for giggling with us, and we'll talk to you later. Bye.
