Gary, fix the Wi-Fi. Manifest that shit. We can't be managed.
Starting point is 00:01:32 I mean, the day just got away from me. Grazi, gigglers. Yes. Giggler, giggleros. Sorry, that became a different language. I don't know what that was. I'm a little mad at you. Can I say something? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Love your content, support Women in the Arts, your outfits are fire. Where are the food photos? I'm sick of seeing Emilia Pucci, where's the Parmesan? No, I know. You're not giving me what I want. You're gatekeeping, you sicko. No, I'm not gatekeeping.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Some of the things I order, I feel like I take a picture of it and it doesn't look- It's not the right aesthetic? It doesn't look that appetizing, but I'm like, I promise it's really good. And here's the thing, I think what it is, I order a lot of eggplant and it's just like, it's not the prettiest dish.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Wait, I didn't know, you know I love eggplant. I love eggplant. No, I love eggplant. I love eggplant in all forms. Honestly, I ordered it the other day and they brought it out in like a bundt cake. You could make eggplant in any way. And I was like, this is so interesting.
Starting point is 00:02:46 And then they like gave it to me, they sliced it like it was cake for me. Eggplant is the Italian potato. It comes in all shapes and forms. Fried, mashed, ground. Are they mashed? Grilled. Well, you know that place, Little Frankie's in New York City,
Starting point is 00:03:03 they like grill it and they kind of mash it a little bit with the skin still on. And then they put honey and like something spicy on it. OK, welcome to the Food Network. Yeah. So anyway, just a request for more food content. But your outfits have been incredible and you tried to make it. Oh, yeah. Do you want to speak for yourself for gaslighting everyone? I gaslit everyone into thinking I didn't have any outfits, but here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Gaslito, gaslito. I just went through one week of outfits. I have another week here. So we're not out of the trenches, if anything we're smack dab in the middle, okay? So yeah, obviously I had some outfits. I didn't come naked, but you know, I'm definitely looking at the closet being like,
Starting point is 00:03:51 we're getting down to the wire folks. How much shopping are you doing? I have done a significant amount of shopping. Okay, good. And it feels great. Good, did you heal anything? Retail therapy is real therapy. Wait, can I announce you remember how I told everyone?
Starting point is 00:04:09 I don't know if I told everyone, but I stopped seeing my therapist. I don't think you're enough. OK. And I got off my meds. But then I got right back on my meds real quick. I was going to say we're free flowing this summer. No, we've been back on the meds. But I was like, I feel like, it's like having a therapist is like having a boyfriend where like it's fun until you're like sick of them.
Starting point is 00:04:32 And then you're like, I wanna be single. I just want my single self. And then you're like having the best time being single. And then it starts getting dark. It starts getting scary. It starts getting lonely. And then you're like, I just want to talk to someone alone sometimes.
Starting point is 00:04:46 So last week I was just on the internet hitting up a random therapist, getting consultations. Like through what medium, what form? Psychologytoday.com. And then they'd call my home phone and they'd be like, hey, and I'm like, do you think we're a good fit? And it was pretty traumatizing,
Starting point is 00:05:09 but I just wanna let people. Wait, rewind, do your home phone. I just wanted to say home phone. Oh, I was like, do you have a home phone? Because I was like, oh, maybe in the Hamptons, she does have a home phone. Do you know people still, sometimes, when you're filling out forms,
Starting point is 00:05:23 it says home phone and cell phone, and I go, pfft, grow're filling out forms it says home phone and cell phone and I go Grow up My parents have a home phone. Do they have a fax? Do you remember when people faxed? Yeah, we yes, I loved faxing. That's one of my things I think is like Bluetooth. It's not real Like I don't think anyone actually sent a fax my grandma used to fax a lot of things and now when I think about it What was she fax. My grandma used to fax a lot of things and now when I think about it, what was she faxing?
Starting point is 00:05:47 And I remember when you would hear a fax come through and she'd be like, don't touch the fax because if you picked up the phone, it would cancel it out. Oh, or she didn't want you to touch it because she was doing a legal activity, grandma. All I wanted to do was pick up the phone and pretend. Wow, bring back faxing.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Bring back faxing. So yeah, anyway, I found a therapist I think I like. Okay. And I had my first therapy session today. And it's a person. It's a person. I highly recommend people. Humans.
Starting point is 00:06:21 For therapy. And I'm excited about where this is gonna go with us. You know, therapy does sometimes feel like dating because there's nothing worse than breaking up with your therapist. Like, and you stay in it too long and you know that you're in it too long
Starting point is 00:06:38 and you're like, I feel like we've outgrown each other but I don't know how to get out of it because you don't feel like blowing up your life right then and there. And some therapists can be like clingy. Girl, wait, I had a situation with a therapist where I basically was like, hey, I think I'm done. Like, thank you so much for everything.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Love you, bye. She responds, she goes, okay, that's not how we end things. Love your work. Love your work, five stars. I highly recommend. And it was my number. And she was like, we need to talk about this. Like this is so you.
Starting point is 00:07:12 And I was to just run away from things and not process your emotions. And I was like, nope, definitely processed it, thought it through. Actually was thinking through for a while now and I finally got the guts to get out. And she's like, no, let's have a talk about it and then she convinced me to do like every other week
Starting point is 00:07:28 and then it basically was like really hard to break up with her. No, because sometimes like obviously like anything else, life gets so busy but then you feel like you're in those sessions and you're like, I really don't have anything to talk about and you're like, I feel like I'm wasting your time. I'm certainly wasting mine and then're like, I really don't have anything to talk about. And you're like, I feel like I'm wasting your time. I'm certainly wasting mine.
Starting point is 00:07:48 And then those are, but sometimes those are the sessions where like there's some type of like breakthrough from something like years ago that like you wouldn't be talking about today. Do you know what I mean? I also think therapy is expensive. So occasionally the therapist, look, I'm charming. Occasionally we start riffing on something
Starting point is 00:08:06 and in my head I'm like, that was $200 of like, and low key like I did make you laugh. We could just do the pod twice a week. I'm like, we could have made this a podcast. But also with therapy, traditional talk therapy I learned is not always good for someone like me where all I do is talk. So it's like, I will ruminate or have thoughts
Starting point is 00:08:29 that I'm obsessing over. So then sometimes I'll get over it, but then a therapy session will be starting and I'm like, oh shit, do I have to go back into that dark place to talk to her about it when I actually was moving on? So there's other methods of therapy that I've been looking into.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Like EDMR. Which is? ASMR. EDM. EDM. You're gonna start raving. Ayahuasca. There's all kinds of ways of things.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Miley Cyrus did EDMR. It's basically like when you've been through trauma, it's like a trauma reprocessing thing. I haven't done it yet, so I'll keep you guys posted. But I have too much time on my hands this summer. Wait, you're still not explaining it though. You go somewhere and you lay down and you listen to things? Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:19 No, I'm just doing virtual therapy. But EMDR, I think you talk through a hard time and you do something with your eye movements that helps you like reprocess it but I don't know yet but I know Miley Cyrus did it and she's really good at singing okay sometimes and people don't talk about this sometimes therapy is hard for me because I have such a bad memory like I'd love to work through something but like I literally can't think of, I can't remember anything, so I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I can't imagine you in therapy. As your therapist, I can't imagine you in therapy. I can't imagine you seriously like talking about something that isn't like good gossip. Like you'd be so bored, you're like, yeah, I was sad. Tell me about what's going on with you. Wait, what's your opinion on having a good looking therapist? Well, here, well, okay, I don't, I.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Okay, are you okay? Yeah, I could never have a man therapist. Well, that's not a therapist. That's just a man who got a degree. Yeah, I could never have a male therapist. So what are my thoughts on like a pretty therapist? My therapist is pretty. I can only have a pretty therapist.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I have to stare at her for an hour. I need her to be gorgeous. See, I'm like, what have you been through? Yeah, because here's the other thing. I used to think, when I first started having therapists, I was like, okay, I need someone that's a mom's age. I need someone older, wiser. And as I get older, I need someone that's closer to my age.
Starting point is 00:11:06 But then it's also like, okay, do I trust someone my age? I think I said this on the, I might have said this on the pod, but I was looking for therapists and one of the girls, she said that she graduated in 2013. And I go, you're not good at your job. You just graduated college, babe, with me. We're babies who just graduated. And then I was like, wait, she's been in this field
Starting point is 00:11:29 for over a decade. Yeah, no, it's like very jarring, but it's like, yeah, obviously. So yeah, mine is actually very close to my age. But I did learn about myself by like who I chose as my therapist, because I tried to be like, honestly, when you get back into dating, where you're like, I'm not just gonna jump
Starting point is 00:11:43 into the first person that gives me attention. And I had a couple different ones and I ended up choosing like the quickier one. And I was like, am I the problem? Well, you need something to like. I want it to be fun. My current therapy though that I'm doing right now
Starting point is 00:12:01 is instead of pancakes for the table, it's ravioli. And everyone seems to be a fan. Wait, first of all, no one talks about how cute raviolis are. Like adorable for no reason. Here's the thing, I've been getting ravioli every single night for dinner and it's just like it's starting to be too much, but I can't stray away from it. But I feel like I need to try other things. So the other night at dinner, I was like't stray away from it. But I feel like I need to try other things. So the other night at dinner, I was like, you know what, mom, I'm just gonna get a ravioli
Starting point is 00:12:30 for the table and whoever wants some can have some. No one had any. And so I've, it's just me getting two entrees is what it is. I do love just like when you can't decide, just say one thing's for the table and you eat it for yourself. So you look generous and you get what you want.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Exactly. But also with ravioli, just to like support ravioli for a second, it comes in all shapes and forms. Like it's not like always the same thing and you could get like spinach in it, which is healthy. Sometimes I'm getting like smaller circular ones and then other times I'm getting fat square ones. Oh my God, you're so cute and chubby.
Starting point is 00:13:05 And you wanna know what? That's my form of excitement now. As it's coming over to the table, which one is it gonna be? Is it that thick butt, Ravioli? Yeah, am I gonna get those big squares or am I gonna get those? Maybe you walk away, Ravioli.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Well, I love that for you. Can you post it next time? Cause you look beautiful, but I'm gonna need some real content, okay? I'm gonna need some parmesan. No, definitely. I have a lot of stuff I want to talk about. I have children. I was just gonna say, I think you should start with the most important thing. If you're on YouTube, this is a bonus for you.
Starting point is 00:13:44 In the back, you're gonna see I have all my kittens. You can't see them, but you see where they're living. I'll have Grace bring some to you later. She's with me right now taking care of the kittens. It's part of her job description. It was crazy, because Grace came to visit, so I said, what is the perfect day in West Hampton for Grace? I said, we're gonna wake up.
Starting point is 00:14:04 We're gonna get coffee. We're gonna go to the animal shelter. We're gonna play some tennis. And we're gonna nap and pool and sleep. Yeah. She said yes. My dream weekend, okay. And I will curate that for you.
Starting point is 00:14:20 You know I have it written out. So, Dez is like, okay, I'll drive you guys to the shelter cause I can't drive. And we get there and like. Wait, I. Daddy. Like, I know you can't drive, but I didn't, I don't put you in every context of like you not driving.
Starting point is 00:14:42 No, when I have to go somewhere, I have to be like, hey. I've never thought about like you have a friend over basically and you have to be like, hey, like we kind of want to like go do this like thing together. And he has to drive. We want to go to the movies. Can you take us? So he he takes us.
Starting point is 00:14:57 And I was so well behaved because this wasn't about me this trip. This is about Grace and Grace getting comfortable with different cats, seeing if she likes cats. And I think because I played it so chill and cool, we're talking to Jill, head of South Empton Animal Shelter Cats, the cat Wrangler, the cat shaman.
Starting point is 00:15:17 And she was like, we're overflowing with kittens right now, we need to get kittens adopted. And I was like, I'll tell the gigglers. She goes, I have a bunch in the back room still that are still getting their shots and stuff. And I go, show me, show me what's going on in the back. Brings me to the back and she goes, we have these three that just came in.
Starting point is 00:15:35 It's just a matter of time before you buy one of these places. I go, how much is the whole place? I go, fuck the cat, how much is this square footage? Look, Paige and I have been podcasting a lot lately. I'm gonna put all my Giggly Squad money. So we're looking at these three cats, they were found in Bridgehampton and rescued,
Starting point is 00:16:04 and we just need someone to foster them for like a week or two, and Dez goes, okay, we can foster them. Dez has never, ever done that, ever. This man loves you. That is his love language, giving me kittens. And I pretend, I was like, oh, I didn't, I wasn't trying to foster any kittens,
Starting point is 00:16:23 but if you say so, I will. And now we're, we have three babies. Now you're a proud family of three children. Right now the names are Hazelnut, Cashew, and Peanut, but they're up to debate. Oh, Grace wants to bring one. Yeah, bring one in. If you're not on YouTube, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:16:45 You're really missing out. You're really missing out. But our job is to socialize them. Oh, wait. This shit. Sorry. No. It's just the cutest.
Starting point is 00:16:57 That's Peanut. Do you want to bring a, oh my god, she's putting it on top. Do you want to bring Hazelnut? Thank you. Next up. This is a cat pod. I was joking, this is like. This is a cat pod, yes.
Starting point is 00:17:10 This is Paige on Amazon Live. And now we have the cutest, literally cutest girl. Her name is Hazelnut. She is adorable. I bite you. We all of, anything you've ever named has been a food. I'm obsessed with food names. I'm obsessed with them.
Starting point is 00:17:31 But I know what you guys are thinking, Hannah, what about butter? What about your literal daughter that you had from your womb? No, one thing about you, you stay pissing butter off. Butter? Like this is, I swear to God yesterday, we bring the cats and Grace looks at me, she goes, what's Butter gonna do?
Starting point is 00:17:47 I'm gonna say Butter's gonna, wait, I got too excited. Butter goes, can I have a day? Yeah, can I have a literal day? Literal day. So Butter walks in the sunroom thinking it's a normal day, sees that there's something going on in this pen, flick her tail gets all fluffy, and goes absolutely not, hasn't left my bedroom in two days.
Starting point is 00:18:14 And she knows there's something out there and does not wanna know what it is. Wait, that's so, that's so her. She's like, I don't, none of my business. She goes, whatever's going on, there's none of my business. I don't wanna know. She's happy. I'm not even getting involved.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I'm not, that's literally, she saw some drama and she said, I've had enough. Like, I don't care about it. So the family's good over here. How is your family? How's the dynamics on vacation? My family, we have been having a lot of fun. Okay, my brother's girlfriend. Thank God for her
Starting point is 00:18:47 Because she has been taking Italian for like a couple years So like anytime we get into a pickle where like we don't really know what's going on she just like comes right in and like starts talking and it's I Mean, I'll never come to Italy without her, like I'll never not have a translator. She's just, it's so much ease, it's so much, it makes the experience so much better. Do people come up to you and speak Italian
Starting point is 00:19:15 because you look so fucking Italian? Okay, well here's the other thing. Everyone I think legitimately does think that we speak Italian because so many people go up to my mom and start speaking Italian. But then like I'll see other Americans were like, and they'll just go up and start like speaking English. And so we do feel a little bit better than people here because they do think I think they do think that we're authentic. You are in your homeland. Yeah, so that makes us feel better. This place is just like, there's so many crazy things. The other night, we're walking back from dinner.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Actually, it was the night Sierra was here and she came to dinner with us. And we're walking back and we're just like, is that Elton John playing? Like the island is not big. So like anywhere he, and yes, it was. Elton John was performing in the back of our hotel at like a party and we were like, what is going on?
Starting point is 00:20:19 And it was just a really, just a really low key baptism. Oh my God, that's so Italian. I thought someone was gonna be like, oh, it's a wedding. That's their quinceanera, like a baptism in Italy. They're like, this shit's about to be lit because God is, I don't know what they do at baptisms, but God's coming. Wait, did he play Tiny Dancer?
Starting point is 00:20:43 I hope he did. So I didn't hear that one, but I heard him play like three songs. So it was a lit baptism. I mean, it was like the crazy, I was like, what is this experience that we're having right now? And then I saw our charades partner
Starting point is 00:20:57 in the pool the other day. Tell me everything. So I literally get in the pool and I'm like with my family and all of a sudden this man swims by and I'm like, I think that's Patrick Schwartz. Wait, he was like, who swims in a pool? Who actually swims? I felt like I was at summer camp
Starting point is 00:21:18 where I'm like, hey, I went to camp with like... Hey, are your parents divorced? My parents are divorced. He comes up from the water, he takes his goggles off. I went to camp with that kid. Hey, are your parents divorced? My parents are divorced. He comes up from the water. He takes his goggles off. He spit in my face. She went to go in the hot tub.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Honestly, it was giving White Lotus season two. We were in Italy. We were in this pool. I'm like, what's going on? I'm like, hi. And he looks at me and he's like, hi. And I was like, I was on Jimmy Fallon with you. And he was like, oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:48 And then we just started chatting. And then other people in the pool were just like, it was just a very interesting experience. It was just so funny. Well, it's funny because that was the reaction Jon Hamm had with me, who I've seen 47 times this year. But it's like when they see you in different random places, like he was at the New York library.
Starting point is 00:22:09 And I just go, hi. And he looks at me like, hi. And I go, I beat you in trades. And he goes, oh. How is that not burnt into your brain, John? I know you just got over it with your therapist, but let's bring it back. But Patrick was so friendly with us.
Starting point is 00:22:26 I actually felt like we were best friends. And when he left, I was like, okay, what do we do without Patrick now? Right. Well, he's vacationing. He's doing well. He's on vacation. The amount of people that are probably making
Starting point is 00:22:38 stupid jokes about White Lotus to him about drinking milkshakes. I feel bad for him. No, I literally, that is all I was thinking because then he got out of the pool and I could tell certain people were going up and being like, hey, huge fan or whatever. And I was like, the amount of White Lotus jokes
Starting point is 00:22:56 that people probably think are so original that are being just yelled at this man all day long. He can't go on vacation again. Well, good for him.

Starting point is 00:28:41 but I'm gonna relapse after meeting Hannah Page at the New York Public Library. Hannah, if you talk to John Hamm one more time, I'm gonna lose it. No, I couldn't believe she was stepping down. Do you want to know why? What shocked me the most? This is like so, has nothing to do with anything. When it said like, oh, after 37 years, I was like, oh, she seems like the type of person that would have wanted to retire on like an even number,
Starting point is 00:29:07 like at like 40. I was like, 37 doesn't seem like a aesthetic. That doesn't seem chic. Okay, interesting. Wait, that's so you to care about those things. That is so you. I was like, but wouldn't the headline sound better like a 40 years?
Starting point is 00:29:26 You go, obviously the press release was gonna say 37 and it's kind of an ugly number. 37 is kind of ugly. 37 is like such an ugly number. Wait, you're seven in general, like gag. Gross. But 38 is giving elevated editorial. 38, 38.
Starting point is 00:29:47 That is like when you have an uneven birthday, everyone's like, I'm not celebrating your 33rd birthday. And why do I feel like 33 is like overweight? Oh, the number. I was like to just. I was like. 33, 33 the number is like, looks over like it's over weight but 34 34 jogs yes 34 runs dabbles and pilates yeah for sure and everyone their 20s you're doing great
Starting point is 00:30:20 yeah you'll be fine yeah literally it doesn't. It literally doesn't count. It doesn't count. Oh my God. I was talking to someone yesterday about fashion, because that's what I do, as you know. People are like, Hannah, tell me about Paige's fashion. And I'm like, I will. And we were talking about how I feel like there's two types of girls, girls that either own
Starting point is 00:30:42 a ton of tops, or girls who own a ton of bottoms. Yeah. I realize I own neither. Okay. You know some people who were like, yeah, I have my jeans, like I have a couple of jeans, but like I love buying a ton of tops. I have way more tops than I do bottoms.
Starting point is 00:31:00 I feel like I never even think about bottoms. I just like assume it's there. And then like six years later, I'm like, oh, I about bottoms. I just assume it's there and then six years later I'm like, oh, I should get new jeans. Pants. Yeah. I just assume the bottoms figure itself out. I'm always having a tough time finding pants
Starting point is 00:31:17 where I feel like I love so many shirts. I'm like, I need that top. Well, people make fun of millennials because we were obsessed with going out tops. Yeah, we love tops. Now we don't really know what a going out top is, but blazers are back, which that was all us. What are?
Starting point is 00:31:36 Blazers, just wearing oversized blazers all the time. But I don't feel like they went anywhere. But going out-wise, I feel like girls weren't wearing blazers. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no. Like not when we were in college, no. Yeah, with like our little skirts. Have you heard it's sardine girl summer?
Starting point is 00:31:57 Did you see my fish bag? Paige, that was the best accessory I've ever seen. Like the second I saw it. Wasn't it so cool? It was so cool. It was so good for Italy, the aesthetic. The vibes were amazing. How'd you find it? Okay, this is actually gonna be a very funny story.
Starting point is 00:32:16 I've been waiting all day for you to ask about my bag, how I found it. Because it's so not me and I don't want you to get jealous because you're my best friend and no one could ever take your place. So one day I was like on Instagram and I'm just like, scroll, or maybe I was on TikTok. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I think I was on Instagram and I was just like scrolling and I like saw this girl and I was just like, wait, this girl is like so, like I just like this girl. And so like I would keep always like looking at her Instagram pictures and I'd be like, oh my God, she's like such cool style. And then like I was like this girl. And so like I would keep always like looking at her Instagram pictures and I'd be like, oh my God, she's like such cool style. And then like I was watching her videos and I was like, are you sure this wasn't my profile?
Starting point is 00:32:53 I feel like I would be like friends with this girl. And that's like so not me. You're creepy. You mean you're creepy. That is so not me. So whatever, so I DM'd her. You could never want to be friends with anyone. I was having a parasocial relationship.
Starting point is 00:33:08 I was like, in my head, this is what this girl is like in real life and I feel like we would be friends. So whenever I message her and we start like chatting and like I, and I was like, yeah, like kind of like her. We've never like met in person and we've never like, like it's like a slow burn type of thing, but she came out with bags and she was like, can I send you one?
Starting point is 00:33:28 And I was like, absolutely. And so it got there right before I left for Italy and when it got there, I was like, this is the sickest bag ever. The company is called the Vin, V-I-N. And so that's how I have it. Can you put your phone in it? Depends on the phone.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Did I put my phone in it? I think I did, depends on the phone. I actually don't know if I put my phone in it. But not important. Not important. But I have a suction cup phone so I can stick it, I stuck it right to the back. You go to a restaurant, you just stick it on something.
Starting point is 00:34:06 I'm good. No, it's so cute. So cute. I love Sardine Girl Summer. I feel like it's very eclectic grandpa. I'm very into it. Anything with fish or food? Okay, actually, speaking of fish,
Starting point is 00:34:29 so there's so many like stray cats around here and like the past couple of years I've like seen them but now that I'm like a full cat mom now I like I really spot them and I feel like they've like also been giving me the same energy back. I even tonight was like oh should I order, because the restaurant we had to go to tonight, we had to take, it was like a really long walk. And I saw like four different cats. I'm literally sitting at the dinner table and in my head, I'm like, should I order a fish so that like, if I don't eat it all, I can like put some in my hand and on my way back.
Starting point is 00:35:00 I can give it to a cat. And I was like, oh my God. Oh my God. I have entered a whole new era. Paige, you texted me a couple of days ago out of the blue. Do you follow Merv the cat on TikTok? I was like, oh, she's, she's in deep. She's, this is, I thought you were gonna text me something important.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Do you follow Merv the Cat on TikTok? All my TikTok is cats. Alert the UN. No, my whole TikTok is cats and Capri pants. Different ways to wear Capri pants and cats. Merv the Cat is one of the best cats ever. I'm obsessed with her. She, it's...
Starting point is 00:35:50 Yeah, did I then do like a 40 minute deep dive on Merv? Yes, Merv is Siamese and Merv speaks to its owner. And my only complaint about Merv, they don't post enough. I need more. I want so much more content. You want a live feed of Merv. I want a live feed of Merv. Well, that's how I feel of your food content in Italy,
Starting point is 00:36:12 that you're like literally holding back. Literally gatekeeping. Okay, I'm gonna actually, I'm gonna post so much food tomorrow. Wait. What? Okay, so. What?
Starting point is 00:36:24 When it comes to this trip, my mom pretty much plans like, and we're not like, like we're not sightseeing people. Like I've never learned the history of anything here. Like I literally just know the restaurants. We lay in the pool and then we go to restaurants. So my mom pretty much does all the restaurant reservations. And I don't know, I saw this like one restaurant
Starting point is 00:36:48 on TikTok or something and I sent it and I was like, oh, like let's for one of the nights try this like new place that we haven't been to before. And it's like a Michelin star restaurant. And I think it's gonna be like a really fun experience. It was so bad that it actually made the dinner so fun. Like it was so bad that it actually made the dinner so fun. Like it was so funny. Was it like a bit?
Starting point is 00:37:10 Like it became a bit. It became a bit. Like it became a full bit that like, how could we possibly have found a bad restaurant in Italy? And then of course it's like, well, Paige found it. Like it was just. And also it has a Michelin star. Like the whole point of Michelin star it's like, well, Paige found it. Like it was just. And also it has a Michelin star. Like the whole point of Michelin star is being like,
Starting point is 00:37:27 we've added it, it's definitely great. It's definitely, yeah, it's the best in the world. It was so bad. It's so dad coded though. Dads hate fancy restaurants. My dad's favorite thing to do is go to fancy restaurant and then go, can we go to McDonald's now? I'm hungry, I'm hungry. Can we get a pizza?
Starting point is 00:37:47 We added a person to our reservation because Sierra came and the hostess was like a little bit snippy about it And she was like, well, I don't know if we can accommodate it And my dad was already pissed off that we were going to this restaurant then he goes well, then I don't have to eat Went in bad so dramatic and he goes, well then I don't have to eat. And he went in bed. So dramatic. He literally looked at our family and goes, I don't need to eat if you guys need the other place. And my mom was like, what?
Starting point is 00:38:12 Like, what are you talking about? He's so dramatic. I love to see who becomes the diva in the family because everyone has their own triggers. And on vacation, everything will eventually trigger someone so to see who's having the meltdown of the night is so funny. Our family dynamic is funny because my dad's obsessed with me, my mom is obsessed with my brother, my brother doesn't give a shit about my mom and I am like breaking generational trauma with my dad. I'm like let's work on
Starting point is 00:38:49 something for today. How do we feel about... Is it because you feel like you and Gary are so similar and you've done some therapy so you're like hey you don't need to take this note but I have notes. Okay well my dad has anxiety. Like my dad has severe anxiety, and I don't think that that's ever crossed his mind. So you have to explain what anxiety is? Yes, because I'm like, okay, you know, for example, when we get to the airport, you all of a sudden get really nervous. And I'm like, that is anxiety.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Explaining to an Italian man what anxiety is, is so fucking cute. Okay, wait, I'm gonna say something else. And I hate to say it. I hate to say it. And I'm not a mom. I'm not a mom. The amount of nannies here is like, it's so crazy.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Like I don't, actually I haven't seen one mom. I don't know where any of the moms are. They're at the pool, they're drunk somewhere. But all I've seen are the kids and the nannies and it's so, it's so insane. And then after traveling with my parents, I'm like, I can travel with a kid if I can travel with you too.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Or you might need a nanny for your parents. Yeah, they're like having twins. That's so funny. Actually I was at a coffee shop recently and this baby walks in and look. Well the baby didn't walk in. The baby did not walk in. It was carried.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Let's be honest, the baby was in a. The baby was strolled in. Yeah yes and this was a baby where like you know when you make eye contact and you go oh you're a cute one like you're actually really cute and then for some reason in our DNA it's our job to tell the mother that their baby's like actually a cute one. Yeah. So I'm walking by and the mom starts like smiling when she sees me and I just go, by the way, your kid is really cute. And she goes, by the way, I'm a giggler, by the way, not my kid, I'm the nanny.
Starting point is 00:40:53 And I was like, oh my God, you just never know who's who. And I go, well, good thing you're nannying not an ugly kid, because that makes it better, hopefully. I've been watching some of the nannies and I'm like, you deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. That's a crazy tantrum. And you can't even like really yell at that kid because it's not yours. Nannying is so hard because I also want everyone to like me. So like when I'm with a we, I was babysitting Dez's niece. No, sorry, nephew. I always get it confused, but he's like a full teenager and he, teenage boys are crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Like he started, they were like cat toys around for butter. He started just like playing with the cat toys, like cat, like throwing it around. I was like, you just give them some balls and they like chase it. Were you ever a babysitter in high school? Yes, I did a lot of babysitting and I was, the moms liked me because I would get the tea from like the like 10 to 12 year olds.
Starting point is 00:41:58 I'd be like, who are we dating? Like they trust me, but I would let them do literally anything like crystal meth. I'd be like, as long as I'm here. I remember one time I went into like buy cupcakes somewhere. Like, I don't know, that was like in high school. I was probably buying it for like a boy or something. I was very male centered then.
Starting point is 00:42:19 And I remember standing at the counter and I was like in my school uniform and the person like behind the counter was like, hey, any chance you babysit? And I literally remember being like, ew. And I literally, I looked at this woman and I go, no. Cause she was like, oh, how old are you? And I was like 17, I was a senior in high school
Starting point is 00:42:39 and she was like, oh my God, any chance you babysit? And I was like, ew, no. You looked at her and you said, you can't afford me. You can't afford this. I was like, ew, no. You looked at me and said, you can't afford me. You can't afford this. I was like, I would not trust me with your children. I was more like teaching tennis, but occasionally one of my friends had a crazy entrepreneurial babysitting business,
Starting point is 00:42:55 like ran Shelter Island in the summer. And she was like, hey, girl dropped out, need you from four to six. And she's like, I'll give you 50 bucks. And I said, period, let's go. I go in. But some of these kids were crazy. Like one of the kids called me a slut once. I'm like.
Starting point is 00:43:09 And we're still alive. These kids don't know you. And you know what, I said, you saw it into my soul. But we have, we have Des's nephew staying with us and suddenly like I realized like, I'm not just like his friend. Like he's looking at me like I'm a mom. So in the morning he comes up to me and he's like,
Starting point is 00:43:29 what is there to eat? And I was like, go hunt something. Who do I look like? You're not sucking on my tit. And he was like. You're like that Uber Eats. I was like, figure it out. And then I'm like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Because 16 year olds seem like adults, but then I realized he has a mom who feeds him every morning. So he looked at me like, where's my food? And I was like, go fishing, I don't know. I'm trying to figure out what I'm having. Do I want a latte? Do I want matcha? I'm dealing with my own shit.
Starting point is 00:43:56 No, the moms need more praise because I don't know how they're doing it. Well, this is the thing, not to, we always get back here, but it's the first time ever where like moms, we, I say we, like I'm a mom, but I am right now. We have our own jobs, we're doing everything and expected to also keep like the house and to cook, no. No.
Starting point is 00:44:22 That's too much. But that's why I think the nanny business is like getting crazy competitive. Like people try much. But that's why I think the nanny business is getting crazy competitive. People try to steal each other's nannies in high society in New York City. I need more of the nannies to write books. I want Uber drivers and nannies to be so fucking for real. Before social media, I wish there had been a reality show
Starting point is 00:44:42 about nannies. I mean, they could never do it now. It would never work, but. Do you remember that one a reality show about nanny. I mean, they could never do it now. It would never work, but. Do you remember that one with that mean British nanny that would come in? And discipline your children? She'd be immediately canceled today, I feel like. She was so mean and there was this little.
Starting point is 00:44:56 People would never let that fly. Did you see the clip of a seven-year-old who had a mohawk who goes, I don't like her, she doesn't like punk rock. I think she's a Republican. Or they would like switch, I forget what the show was, but that was hilarious. Oh, I used to love when they would switch moms.
Starting point is 00:45:17 When they switch moms, yeah. And then you're like, Mom, I take back everything I said about you. You guys know I'm obsessed with home decor and I want home furnishings that are versatile with everyday style, modern, adaptable, worry-free. I want it to be practical and functional. I'm using a lot of adjectives and I'm describing cozy. C-O-Z-E-Y. Furniture shopping shouldn't feel like a chore.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Cozy makes it easy to finally breathe and enjoy the process. I'm obsessed with their modular modern design that grows with you. You can add, rearrange, or swap pieces, no sweat. Mix and match without the fuss, because I like to wake up and change the feng shui occasionally.
Starting point is 00:46:02 I'm obsessed with their modular sofa beds. Comfort meets convenience without compromising looks. They have amazing credences. Their wall shelf is so cool. I'm very into white oak right now, and it looks so chic, almost Scandinavian. Their accessories are chic, not in your face, and like annoying designs.
Starting point is 00:46:20 They're really classic and cool. These sofa beds are so cool. They're like transformers. So transform your living space today with Cozy.

Wait, one thing I wanted to say, and I'm so proud of us for when we have a certain opinion and we really stick to it. I feel like I was very pro Jojo Siwa when people were like
Starting point is 00:48:05 she's so annoying and like what does she do? She thinks she's like she has a false sense of reality and I just like there was something in me that I was just like no I I really want good things for her like let her dance and whatever. I'm obsessed with this era of JoJo Siwa. I watched a full TikTok of her making a charcuterie board where everything was red. And I was like, never did I think I'd be here in 2025 where I'm watching JoJo Siwa cut out strawberries
Starting point is 00:48:38 in the shape of a heart for a charcuterie board for her boyfriend. And I love it. I love it so much. I stuck with you through the thick of it. We forget and I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure for the younger, younger generation, Jojo Siwa was like their Hannah Montana.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Like Jojo Siwa was huge. Like the biggest thing, like selling out arenas, just like being Jojo Siwa. I'll never forget like the video thing, like selling out arenas, just like being JoJo Siwa. I'll never forget like the video clip of like Northwest, like meeting JoJo Siwa when she was like little. Wait, I'm drinking my Dunkin Mango Pineapple Refresher. Which one did you get? I just have coffee.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Also don't forget we have a cute Giggly Squad times Dunkin merch giveaway. You can win some of our favorite summer must haves. Just go to gigglysummer.com to enter. I have two documentaries you guys have to watch. Are you, if you're gonna say the Mariska Hargitay one, I need to know everything. Did you watch it?
Starting point is 00:49:35 Obviously I watched it. I literally- No, I need to know everything. Poor Grace, cause she's here like to relax. And the second we finish dinner, I go, it's documentary time. sit down on the couch, we have two new documentaries to watch. You run a tight ship at your camp. You run a tight ship at your summer camp.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Also we got into a little fight because one of the nights I went to go pee, come back, she's gone. And I was like, wait that's so weird and rude. She literally didn't wanna hang out anymore and she, I was like, I didn't know. Like she escaped, like she waited for me to leave and was like, it's my time to get out. So the next day, it's the morning.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Wait, I'm so proud of her. That is so me coded. Like, oh, I'll be right back, see ya. See, no, if you did that, I'd be like, and she was she was done. With Grace I was like we don't do that in this relationship. So we're spending like a normal morning. I think we went to get smoothies and we're drinking smoothies and I just look at her and I go by the way You didn't say good night last night. I said can I talk to you for a second?
Starting point is 00:50:43 Why didn't you say goodnight to me? And she looks at me and she goes, you know what's crazy? I was walking down the stairs and I said goodnight and you didn't respond. So I thought you were being weird. And I was like, I didn't hear you. And that's why as adults we talk things out. And we talk things out.
Starting point is 00:50:59 So anyway, forced her to watch the documentary. Mariska Harkatay, badass star of SVU, her mom was basically like Marilyn Monroe, less famous, but of the time of blonde bombshell, definitely inspired by Marilyn Monroe. And I would say just as pretty, I mean gorgeous. Gorgeous. Also, Taylor's oldest time, a genius,
Starting point is 00:51:31 she spoke five languages, was a classical violin player, and she died when Mariska was three years old in a car accident with the whole family. And she was in the car, the whole family in the car. The whole family's in the car.. And she was in the car, right? The whole family in the car. The whole family's in the car. The three kids were in the back. She was sitting in the back, decided to move to the front.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And then the two boys were saved. And as they wake up from their concussion or whatever, and they're on the way to the hospital, they go, where's our sister? They go back. Mariska was lodged in between cushions, and they almost left her there to die. If her brother didn't wake up, she would have been dead
Starting point is 00:52:08 and we never would have had SVU. Do you know one thing I love about Mariska Hargitay? Do you know that she met her husband on the set of Law and Order? Wait, he's hot. He's a zany. He's so hot. She tells this story where her friends were like, you're never gonna meet anyone, you don't go out.
Starting point is 00:52:27 You have to go out, you have to put yourself out there. And she was like, no, literally I'm not. I'll meet someone. They were like, he's not gonna just walk into your life. And she said literally when she saw her husband walk onto set, she was like, that's my husband. What's so spectacular about this documentary too is because she has very complicated relationship
Starting point is 00:52:46 with her mom. She doesn't remember her, but when you grow up with a famous mom, there's tons of footage and tons of magazine articles. And what she was always told is don't read what they say about your mom, it's not true. Which it's giving, don't watch mom's TikToks. That's not her legacy.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Oh my God. But she realizes that the mom and the boys talk about it. Wait, can I just say one of the bits on my family vacation that people are just saying and then laughing about is that I'm a New York Times bestselling author. That is so your family to be like, you know what's fucking hilarious that you're you're a New York Times bestselling author. You loser. It's so my family coded. My mom looks at me and goes I mean really are you though?
Starting point is 00:53:43 They will keep you humble. They keep me down to the ground. No one brings up my family and if it is brought up, someone goes, and your mom wrote it. No one takes me seriously. No one takes me seriously either. So yeah, her mom, the brother was saying that she would put on a voice in interviews
Starting point is 00:54:05 that wasn't like his mom, which was her being like dumb, blonde, and cute. And I mean the interviews. Yeah, like had a persona. Yes, and the interviews were so annoying, like, but the men just wanted to like sexualize her, obviously, and that's what was working for her. She wanted to be a serious actor,
Starting point is 00:54:22 it wasn't working, da da da. I don't wanna give it away, but if you watch the end, Mariska also learns stuff about who she is and her mom that she didn't expect, and she goes through all these emotions of like, do I hate my mom, am I mad at my mom, do I love my mom? And then by the end you realize that they are so similar and it's like really beautiful and emotional.
Starting point is 00:54:48 You're gonna cry. Wait, I can't wait to watch. I'm so behind on all my shows. I'm behind on Love Island. My new show Buccaneers started. I'm behind. Gilded Age started. I mean, it's just too much.
Starting point is 00:55:00 I can't get through any of it. But it's good. It means you're having fun on vacation. No, I actually, I'm like finally relaxing. Like it took, it takes me like a couple days on vacation to get relaxed. It took me like three weeks out here before I finally was like,
Starting point is 00:55:17 Yeah. Like not a cat scared waking up in the morning. Like, ah, ah, ah. No, and like this is, I mean, this is the first year that I don't have to like go and like pack and go film. And plan and like pre-strategize. And then the next documentary you guys have to watch on HBO, Barbara Walters.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Oh wow. Wait, I didn't even know they were doing one on her. Neither did I. As two women who interview people and who are journalists, it's so fascinating. Because the times were so different back then. First of all, being a woman in the news wasn't a thing. They were like, women aren't gonna give the news.
Starting point is 00:56:01 I'm not listening to the news from a lady. That was like literally. Wait. Wait. Which is hilarious, because I've never asked my dad what's going on. And my mom's texting me a hundred times like, you're gonna die if you eat the cabbage from Trader Joe's.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Wait, can I just say, I remember being little and seeing Barbara Walters come on the screen for the first time when I was little. And can I just say, she used to scare the shit out of me. I was gonna say, if you saw Barbara Walters on the screen, someone was in motherfucking trouble. Anytime she'd come up on the screen, I would just immediately, I was one of those men. I was like, I'm not gonna listen to the news from this lady
Starting point is 00:56:44 because I do not like. So she basically inspired everyone, like Oprah and Hoda and like Katie Couric. Oh, Katie, our girl, she said the funniest thing that Barbara went up to her once and was like, you remind me of me because we're not that pretty. I was like, okay, just call me Miranda. Okay, Paige.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Oh my God. I think she was referring to a lot of the girls on the news were picked because they were models or actresses where Barbara was like, I'm really, I'm smart. Be a journalist. I'm a real journalist. But then it talks about her jealousy with Diane Sawyer when Diane Sawyer came into the game
Starting point is 00:57:33 because Diane was younger and blonde. And it is kind of crazy how it doesn't matter how successful you are. Life is about perspective and you could either make it like, this one person is coming for me or you can be grateful for what you have type of mental health moment. Yeah, well I will say for how much,
Starting point is 00:57:54 we decenter men and we think that they are like the root of all the problems, which they usually are, but no one hates on a woman more than another fucking woman. I thought you were gonna say then herself. No, well that's honestly, that's a close second. But like all of your mean comments are from, like men don't ever comment mean shit on, it's all women. Men don't take down other men.
Starting point is 00:58:19 No, they don't. No, they don't. And they should. But like, no, they stick together. Yeah, and only time a woman's getting torn down is like another woman's making the video, doing the comment. Yeah, it's not.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Yeah, that's very interesting. Oprah talks about how Barbara Walters was amazing at networking. So it was all about your relationships with people. So when something would happen, that person would then get fruit baskets from every single news station and they had to decide who are we giving the interview to.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Nowadays, there's no like the interview because everyone has social media, but back then it was like popcorn television, the Monica Lewinsky interview, who's interviewing her. And back then journalism was more like, if you do an interview, you have to get hard questions. It can't just be like a pop piece. I mean, Barbara Walters was a bitch.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Barbara Walters, definitely looking back, like she said some crazy shit. She looked at- Crazy shit. She looked at Bette Midler, and she was like, from one to 10, how attractive do you think you are? No, she said some outlandish shit. But she was amazing at getting people, like she would settle them in and then like out of nowhere,
Starting point is 00:59:34 get them with a zinger where they like weren't prepared. Imagine her hosting Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion. I love how that's where your brain went. Give her a soda and let her go. I immediately went to what reunion should she host? We can't replace Andi. We'll go over there. Secret Wives.
Starting point is 01:00:01 That would be amazing. And then what's cool about her is as she got older when the industry was kind of like, we're over you, you know, she created the view. Yeah, I actually did know that. It extended her career by like at least 15 years. And she was like, I wanna do a talk show of women of multiple generations.
Starting point is 01:00:20 So, I mean, she's a badass. They did also say that she prioritized work over everything including like everything child your child having a child oh yeah her child she did have a child but she oh you know about Barbara I know but yeah I know about Barbara a little bit yeah so I think honestly I know about her because she used to scare me like I I feel like I had to know it that way. To a boy. Keep your enemies close. If I ever come into contact with Barbara Walters, I had to be prepared.
Starting point is 01:00:51 Stop, drop, and roll. Don't make any sudden movements. You know what's interesting? I'm part of the problem because I actually did enjoy Diane Sawyer a little bit more than Barbara Walters. Well, I'll see you're part of the problem because you're hating on her right now.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Another woman hating another woman. There we go. She's dead. Okay, don't call her that. Sorry, sorry. And that was the ultimate insult and I didn't mean that. That's actually, that was too dark. But it just meant like,
Starting point is 01:01:20 she's not gonna know that I'm saying this. Yeah, she's gonna know. I mean, her spirit lingers on. Speaking of reunions and stuff, what do you think about Donna Kelsey on The Traders? If she wants to do it, amazing. I'm hoping, though, that someone fully explained what she just signed up for, because I'm like-
Starting point is 01:01:42 Elder abuse? I picture her as just a a nice regular mom, like who? I would never let my mother do reality TV. I do think Traders is like not as bad as like a traditional show, but like leave my mom alone. They're gonna, I haven't watched, but don't they make them do like crazy things? No, you're doing like challenges.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Can Taylor Swift just cut her a check and be like, stay home, relax. Do you want to know what the craziest part is, is with traders, you're going there, they're taking all of your stuff. Like you don't have a phone, you don't have a computer because they don't want you guys ever to be able to like contact each other. But it's like, OK, like maybe they would follow. I don't see people like not following that rule, especially like you're getting paid to be on a show. And you can't like, you have no connection
Starting point is 01:02:37 to the outside world, so you can't ever like call home. You can't watch TV at night because you don't have your computer. I've always said she's a mom and she has like fully 40 year old children. I'm like, she's a mother. And that's why I wouldn't do it. Like I'm not doing that. I'm not not watching my shows for three weeks. Wait, you can't watch TV? No, because it's like you're in Scotland and like what TV? They don't have TVs in Scotland. And you're gonna watch the local TV in Scotland?
Starting point is 01:03:07 What are you watching? You're like, I can't speak Scottish. I don't know what's going on. Hey translator. I just like, I'm at an age where I can't be uncomfortable. I really can't. I so resonate with that, resonate with that. I can't be uncomfy.
Starting point is 01:03:24 It's an interesting... I understand if she like, resonate with that. I can't be uncomfy. It's not for me. I understand if she like, I actually don't understand. Cause if it's a money thing, it's like, us, like your sons are doing great, you birth them. Unless she's just like a huge fan of the show and someone was like, you should do it. And she was like, I would love to do it. Maybe, but again, like even if I'm a huge fan of something
Starting point is 01:03:43 doesn't mean I wanna do it. Yeah, like let's give an example. Hey, let's play this game, let's give an example. What are you a huge fan that you don't wanna do? I never wanted to do The Bachelor, even though I used to love The Bachelor, I never wanted to be a contestant, because I was like, I'm not fighting over a man,
Starting point is 01:04:00 but I will watch people fight over a man, but now I don't anymore, because it's too much. Eat in the Jersey Shore cast. Murder documentaries, I love watching murder. Like I could never, but I love them. I love watching murder, but I wouldn't murder someone. I love you, no reaction to that one. You were like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:20 That's a good one. I'm a huge fan of cults. Huge fan of cults. Huge fan of cults. Bringing up the batch, I do have one piece of advice for dating. As someone who's so out of the dating game, I don't even know what's going on, I used to love strategy,
Starting point is 01:04:39 as you did too, right? We loved a little game. And I was recently thinking of, it's always hard with texting in the beginning, like how you should text. And this girl was talking to me, she's like, ugh, like you never wanna like text too much, but then are you texting too little?
Starting point is 01:04:54 And I was like, you know what I think you should do? You know when you're texting your friend and like the last word, the auto correct, fucks it up? That happens to me a lot. Like I'm trying to say something and I keep fucking it up and like clearly I'm trying to say something and I keep fucking it up and like clearly I'm just texting like chaos I think that's how you should text a guy you like
Starting point is 01:05:09 Like you don't care about the text so much that you're spelling everything wrong And then you're like blowing his phone up trying to spell it right and he's like wow this girl does not If there's one thing I feel like I've learned in all of my dating, especially now being in my thirties. Rules are made up. We made the we as women made them up to like not to like rationalize certain things. If he's obsessed with you, he's going to be obsessed with you. From the moment he meets you, you could do literally anything. He does not give a flying fuck.
Starting point is 01:05:46 If he is like in it, he's in it. And if he's not, he's not. And if he's not, that's not your husband, babe. Honestly, period. I have nothing to say. Like that was perfect. Like, period. Slay.
