Giggling about group chats, social media, and cortisol spikes

I mean the day just got away from me. If you're watching, first take a breather. Welcome. Sorry I'm wearing the same outfit as you. I was on FaceTime with Hannah. She saw me get dressed. See this is where there's two sides of her story. Yes, I technically saw you, but I wasn't processing. I was looking at myself in FaceTime. I was like, oh, she's wearing a white shirt. That's like a great idea. And glasses and black pants. Or what are you wearing on your feet? And that's why we're different. My comfortable sandals. OK, look. Obviously we're alive. Like we see the internet. We see it. We know what's going on. And this is Giggly Squad, which is funny. Because we have to laugh through insanity. If you don't laugh, you'll cry. Yes, yes. So we will say, obviously, Sierra is our real friend in real life. So we have been talking to her, consoling her. We are behind her 100%. We would never capitalize or monetize off of our friend's heartbreak. We love you, Sierra, as the one and only guest that's ever been on Giggly Squad, who's a woman besides a couple cat psychics. Sorry, Trevor Wallace. And Trevor Wallace. We kind of just erased you from history. We never had a guest except one time a redheaded man came in and the girls rioted. Anyway, I digress. Digress. But, and this is the last thing I'm going to say about it. And we're going to say that throughout the whole podcast. And this is the final thought. And this is the final thing I'm going to say about it, because Sierra is a strong, intelligent, capable woman. She will speak her truth when it is her time. I would never speak for her. And also, this is reality TV. Like, there is very concrete reasons for why Hannah and I are no longer a part of reality TV. It's one of the scariest things you can ever do in your entire life. And it's partly why we created Giggly Squad. So. Yeah, I think this is an example of how, like, what actually is going on in people's lives is far crazier than anything they ever show. And I think Giggly Squad was created after us seeing how they wanted to pick fights and how they wanted to pick people. And we felt like so much was on the cutting room floor. And they weren't showing the things that they should show. They wouldn't show. And Giggly Squad is where we could just be ourselves and laugh. And I do have to just shout out, Sierra, that I was supposed to be beefing with her from the second I met her. Like, we should have never had a chance. Like, it was immediate. Like, you two need to fight over a man. And the second I met her, I looked through in the eye. And we were like, I love you. You love cats. I fuck with you. I was just going to say. And she had like a cat ring on. And she's had my back since the day I met her. And I feel the same way towards her. So I love you. So since I've been trying to be off my phone, I deleted my apps. You're in a home meet tonight. I deleted the calculator app. Oh, also? I deleted the calculator app. Also, I don't run the Daphne Disarbo account. I need to say that. I just need to say that because I don't run it. I don't know who runs it. Shout out to their Canva game, but it is not me. So please stop tagging me. Are you sure it's not Daphne though? And let me just give like one little snippet. Yeah, our group chat is better than yours. It's popping off. OK? I'd be jealous too. What do you think I'm wearing glasses? I've been in the investigation. People being like page of silent, page of silent. We're like Mary, Kate, and Ashley in those trench codes. That does. You could rewatch that movie if you want to actually see what we've been up to. And here's one of the things that I also will say is we really do know the importance of female friendships. And one thing that was happening when I was going through a breakup after all of a sudden done, I think I called Hannah one day and I was just like, thanks for letting me talk about this same situation for the past seven months and just going over it again with me and going over it again with me. We are real friends. So if you think that I haven't gone over the same scenarios so many different times over the past year with my girlfriends, like you're crazy. Like it is weird to see things on the internet because you're like those are my real girlfriends. So yeah, I'm going to react differently than to the people that are just natural viewers. You don't know them like and I'm no longer on the show. So I'm not. Also there is like whenever you post something, it becomes a news article where it's like, that's not what you want. Right. You guys donated a shit-tenth to the food bank. I posted a food bank. It's a story and everyone they're all donating. So the New York City food bank is very happy for everyone. Oh my gosh. Good. For all you little sleuths on my Instagram. Which this is a good point because a couple of weeks ago, I had made Daphne had made a T-shirt for St. Jude for just like a something like in-house that they were doing. We didn't like post about it really because it was like for something they were doing at the hospital. But so many people DM'd about the T-shirt. So we are going to put them on the Daphne website. And then obviously all the money will go to St. Jude's. But I've become like a partner with St. Jude and I'm going to do more with them throughout the year. But hi, how are you? Today some stuff went down. Yeah. We were together. Working as two women do. And stuff starts going down and I'm like, Pidge, I just dropped my music video. And you were like, hey babe, not now. You're like, hey, you know what, mom's trying to have a conversation with an adult. And someone's like, mom, mom, mom. And she's like, hey, mom is speaking. I'm on the phone. I literally like, she's taking, she's, press is calling her and she's having to like, and I'm like, mom, mom, hey, what's this? Look what I can do. Damn time. I go, look what I can do, look what I can do. And she looks at me and she's like, what are you talking about? And I go, it's my world premiere. And she goes, I thought this was a joke. And I go, it's not. It's a music video that I really produced. I thought it was a bit. Okay, well it's not. And then I go, can you watch it? Now I do have to say, the pain of watching someone watch something you're forced to watch. You nailed YouTube videoed me. You were over my shoulder. I waterboarded you. But the funniest part about it is like, you don't realize till someone else is watching something, how long it actually is. Cause when you're watching it through someone else's eyes, it actually is like dog ears. I am so sorry, that was the longest music video I've, I mean, if the only one I've ever done. But it was unnecessarily like 40 seconds too long. Paul Wall is going to call any minute. I mean, it's kind of crazy. So then like someone else came in the apartment and I was like, hey, and they're like, what's going on? And I go, I just dropped my music video and Paige was like, Hannah, shut the fuck. I was like, stop telling people. Let's get to like something important stuff. Let's get to like why you're actually stressed. No, let's. When I'm on my iPad at night, I know no bounce. Sometimes I'm like, it's time to take the iPad away. When you tell me, hey, don't go on socials, I'm still alive and a human. So we're like, I'm going to be on my phone. So I'm pulling up Pinterest. I'm on Amazon. I'm shopping and all of a sudden I get it in my head. Now, simultaneously I'm thinking about how there's a pile of clothes in my closet that I need to hang up and like put away. Just like I'm thinking like closet mode. I'm getting, I'm like, should I organize something? Also, you never need to organize. You can come over to my place too, if you ever just want. Let's not push it. But when you're trying to be off your phone, crazy things happen. I fed the cat. Called my grandma. Literally, I met my brother for the third time. I learned how to read. Have you ever heard of a steamer closet? It's a closet just for steaming. It's yourself or for clothes? Clothes. I wonder what would happen if you got in it. Probably nothing good. But I've only ever seen one in person at Amazon, like at the Amazon studio. Like they have one in one of the green rooms and you can like throw your outfit in there or whatever. And you close the door. And you close the door. It's basically like a dry cleaner at home. So I'm doing some research and looking them up. $2,000, I think. It is a little steep, but let me girl-math it for a second. How much time would I save, seaming my clothes and not bringing things to the dry cleaners, like using this little. And as a CEO of a business. And as someone that owns a fashion brand, I should be pressed. And I do have to say, it's a write off. I look like an accountant right now and that's why I thought of that. So I purchased it. And right now it's in my foyer because it's so fucking. Yeah, you know, that's like when you order a cow. That I have no idea. I haven't even, I'm honestly, I'm actually waiting for my dad to come over. So that an adult knows how to get it up. That is like the perfect thing for a dad to do. But I know Gary's gonna be like, what the hell is this? He's gonna love it, which brings me to my next point. I'm hosting my first holiday this year, this Sunday. Jesus has risen, I'm hosting Easter. Which, God has died, Jesus has risen, Christ has come again. Sorry, I'm a singer. Well, and you know what? Remix coming soon. I realized, not that many people celebrate Easter. I feel like. Like, no, like I'm saying, even the people that like, that is your religion. I feel like Italians do. Yeah, but I feel like some people, like a lot of people don't make it a big deal. I feel like, well, growing up for sure, there was like Easter egg hunts. Once my nana made jello Easter eggs. And I guess they like went down a little too easy. I had like 14 of them. And then I threw up in the car and it was all like green. It was just like green and like, I still haven't lived it down. My dad brings it up all the time. And it was actually traumatic. I've never had jello since. You're coming to my Easter. And I hope there's jello egg there. No, wait, I'm so excited. I'm trying to get Des to dress up as the Easter bunny, which we almost did, but we kind of messed it up in our pitch. Well, I should have said that it was my idea. Yeah, if you wanted it, he would have done it, but he knows it just me just messing with him. I'm not cooking. I'm catering. So like, am I hosting? Yes, you are. I mean, there's like about 20 people. Having people in your space is an emotional exhaustion. Yeah. Like last night I was like, I don't have any ice buckets. I know. How am I hosting? Do you have garbage? With no ice buckets. Do you have enough garbage bags for when people just like toss their cup around? Or they're- I have enough garbage bags. Okay. Look at me trying to host. That's the one thing I worry about. But it's really stressful. I don't know how people do this all the time. People get mad about garbage. People get mad about garbage. I also texted you, because Des was gonna be gone all weekend. And then I was like, wait, he's actually gonna be around. Can he come? And you go imagine if I said no. No, but he would have been so funny as the bunny because he does like a character arc. And he likes to- He'd give it. He would give it as all. I feel like if the suit's there- Yeah, I might just Amazon it and be like, oh my God, did you order it? I'd be like, please just send it. We'll see. We'll see. Maybe I'll do it. I feel like that's really what you've been gunning at the whole time. I know, but I want Kim to sorbo to respect me. Well. Well. Wait, Hannah- I envisioned me and Kim with some wine in the corner talking shit about you. Like that's what I envisioned. Hannah texted me today like out of nowhere and was like Kim's waiting for this email. And I was like, who? Like I literally didn't know what you were talking about. And Hannah was like, your mom. Cause you were like waiting for an email. And she was like, I bet your mom's waiting also. I hate who I become in these social events because again, I'm gonna be like, oh, like you have to socialize, but I think I'm gonna be excited. You actually said to me the other day, don't worry, I'm gonna leave before it gets serious. Like Jesus is actually gonna rise in my apartment. I'm like, what part is it getting serious? Take me with you. I don't want to stay when it's, when's it serious? You're like, don't worry, I'm gonna scoot out right before. Like before what? Before Christ rises. Yeah. Is there anything that I should know about it before like to prep? Is there a- What are you gonna wear? Pastels, right? So it is, um- Oh, there's a theme? It is business casual. No, I'm just, it's Easter brunch. Yeah, it's Easter brunch. I'm gonna be in this yellow Gucci dress that I saw- You're so cute. Kate Blanchett. Kate- Jessica Chastain. Got it. I saw her wear it on the cover of a magazine and I was like, that dress needs to be mine. And so I'm gonna wear that for Easter. What's Kim wearing? You know, I don't know. Speak your mom's. Oh. When Orca had a bob. And how is that? Is she different? She's pretty. She's gorgeous. Well, she's sending me a lot of selfies. She's loving it. I saw the pixie cut. That we posted on Big League Squad account. What do you think? Gorgeous. I love it. Not for you. It is for me. Yeah. Not right now. You're not ready. I think, here's what I think. In like a couple years, she's post-wedding. She's seeing children around. She's pre-children. Oh, pre-children. She's post-wedding, but she's pre-children. Somewhere in there. I feel like if you're nervous about getting an ugly haircut, do it when you're pregnant. My mom shaved her head when she was pregnant. It was iconic. Yeah, but she was in New York City in 1991 in the middle of August. Yeah, she was eight months in the summer. So in terms of what I'm gonna wear, Des, I know will look cute. He's got like the preppy look. Me, I don't wanna wear something that upsets anyone. I don't wanna take the tension away from Christ our Lord and Savior. Cause it's not about me on Easter. I'm not the main character. Yeah. Do you want me to make you an Easter basket? Yes. Do you have a chocolate bunny? Damn it, I don't have a chocolate bunny. That's what I forgot. I've been ordering stuff on Amazon since February. Cause I need to bring a gift. I need to bring a gift. Cause I was like, oh my God, my mom's gonna come and be like, what is this table scape? So I need to like impress my mom with my table scaping. Oh my God, I'm so nervous for you. No, it's so stressful. And let me tell you something. There's not a lot of Easter stuff out there for boys. Try doing a Easter basket for a little boy. It's really hard. Just get them dirt. So anyway. A couple rocks. So that's what I've been doing while I've been staying off my phone. I've been ordering steamer closets and looking at how to fold a napkin into bunny ears. And so we're really thriving. You know who's not thriving? Yeah. Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake. Like this is either I'm in a different timeline and this is a Mandela effect or I've seen this news article. Did you just bring up Mandela effect? Yeah. You've never done that on Digly Squad. You're never on TikTok and you're like, and people are like, what timeline are you in? If you remember this, then you're on this timeline. You smoke weed. Thank God. Thank God. No, I don't have any vice. No, thank God. You're my vice and you're like, can you please stop facing me? Well, because now, sometimes you face me and I feel like your mom, I'm like, are you okay? First, tell me what's going on. What did you do? What did you do? Your mom has that voice, like you answered the phone. She immediately knows, either something's going on with you that you're sad or you did something. You're like, what is in your mouth? Yeah, it's- Give me what's in your mouth. Let it out. Spit it out. Spit it out. That is how I feel like I have to talk to you sometimes. I'm like, what did you do? What did you do? Because we're casually texting DMing all day, smoke signal all day. So then when I do the FaceTime, it's always something. Well, first of all, my invisible ink texts have gone rampant. But people- I still don't know how to send invisible ink texts. People don't talk about, if you're talking to a friend, like what your usual medium is to talk and then they FaceTime you, you're like, oh. This is serious. But also I don't do it for work. Like I've never FaceTime you ever work stuff. Yeah. Or like a group text. Do we even talk? I think good to grace. Like Wednesday. That goes through grace. I think you Snapchated me a couple of months ago. It's actually crazy in the year 2026. Like, okay, we could say that we've been addicted to our phones for how many years? Sorry, I was on my phone, what'd you say? Like when do you think your addiction really start 10 years ago? I wasn't addicted in college. I know that because my blackberry broke and I was like, who cares? Like I literally was like, whatever. And I got addicted. I will remember in like 2015, seeing that like people started to make crazy money. That's when I started my Forks in Fitness account. Oh, right. And I knew that you can use social media to like build businesses. And then when I started working, when I started working for Betches in like 2017, I was private. Like I would just want to be a video producer. Oh, no way. Yeah. So when I was working for them, I had like no followers and I was just creating on their stuff. And then I started like writing jokes. So I feel like I have had like a full, I would say yeah, probably around the same time. Whenever I started like graduated college and then started like working. So like 2015, 2016. 2015, 2016, the world went bad. There's this new thing called dumb phones, which is fun where it's basically like flip phones that people can use. People are trying to solve it. They're like, can I have a phone with no social media? But then it's like, if you have access to the internet, then you're social, like no one's gone the right way. Or phones that are just text and calling, but then it's like, you need GPS, you might need your email. I kind of feel like we should do it like once a month for a week. Like legitimately knock on any social media, except for like Pinterest. When like things are in a certain situation, I just get off my phone for two weeks. I highly recommend it. It's literally like getting off a drug where like the first four hours are difficult. You're like grabbing the phone, you're going for it. And then- Well, it's just like a habit, like a sensation, like a fixation, a rural fixation. It's like wanting to get a cigarette, but you can't. And then you get pestered a little bit and then you realize, I'm gonna have a husband. Yeah. They used to talk to him. And then you start thinking of plans. You're like, maybe I should call someone, like literally like what you were saying. Maybe I should do something fun. Like I was like, what other hobbies can I do? Cause also the algorithm, I don't care how well you curate it, you're always gonna see something that like, as sensitive girls, it makes you feel something you shouldn't feel in that moment, whether it's like grief or something or anger, it's like, can we just keep the cortisol levels? I'm not cortisol speaking. Can you tell them the story? Okay, you know that like crazy guy that does like the looks maxing and he's like 20 years old and he like takes meth. Like glamazon or something? No, like literally. He was like, it's gay to like be attracted to women. That's what he said. Also, he's like not good looking still. His name is- It's like a little torp. I want to say clavicle. But it's not clavicle. But it's like that clavicular. Clavicular, okay. Which I don't even know, whatever. He got arrested, what did he get arrested for? He got arrested for like basically, what is it called when you like insight violence? Like he made these two girls like basically fight, I think so I think he did get arrested and like possibly going to jail. But I don't even, I just like saw that clip, but I saw a video and he's like a streamer, which I still- I don't understand. I don't know what a streamer is. I do not get it. Like I don't understand at all. I know that men watch other men play video games sometimes. Which I think is- Whatever gets you through the day. It goes down. But the guns away. And watch whatever you guys watch. Watch someone play Super Mario Kart. I still don't understand what a streamer is and where you watch streamers. Like I don't get what it, I don't get it. I think it's on Yahoo. But whatever, he's like streaming and he's like fighting with some girl. I don't know if it's his girlfriend or not. But he says to her, I'm not courtesal spiking. And right when I heard it, I was like, that's my new brain, Ron. Next time I face time, you can answer like that. I'm not courtesal spiking right now. So I don't know what you have to say to me, but I refuse to do it. I don't wanna hear it. Here's one thing I, another thing I will say. I had a woman who I like work with reach out to me the other day and say. How did she? A woman who knows me. He said, oh my God, what could you want from me? No, because I believe just because you can contact me doesn't mean I have to contact you back. And I fully implement that. But she reached out to me and she was like, I just wanna let you know. I listened to Giggly Squad and I was deciding between like going to a new job and like, and I heard you say how much you like bet on yourself when you guys were on tour and like the different decisions that you had to make. And I just wanna let you know, I ended up deciding to like go in a new path and like take a new job and like bet on myself. And I was like, I forget people listen to us. I go, oh that? No, that was really inspirational. I felt like that was so nice. And also we don't want everyone to quit their jobs. It's just like, if you already are teetering. No, no, no, it wasn't that. It was like, if you have a big decision, whether it's like job or relationship or anything, and you're like, what should I do? Like I just always think like the universe will reward you not for picking the harder thing, but picking the thing that's most you. Even if it's scary. You guys, the universe does reward you. And sometimes if you're in pain and you're going through something hard, that means something good's happening after. And I was very much in a situation where I was like, I knew I didn't wanna stay on reality TV for so many reasons, but I was also so scared to not be on it. But I was just like, ooh. Also as I said before, 75% of statistics are wrong, but 44% of women are in the workforce to men. And only like around 33% have leadership roles. And that's why a lot of women are starting their own companies, because the patriarchy is still alive and well in the workforce. And sometimes you're like, I cannot watch these guys who are mediocre keep getting promoted ahead of me. And I'm just gonna do my own shit cause I'm sick of being taken advantage of. So go into corporate, learn everything you have to learn, and we support you. You know another reason that I bet that older men are starting to date, even younger women today is because women are making more money than them. And so they can really only go after like 25 year olds. It does remind me of all those TikToks of girls who were like, corporate's so funny cause I walk in and I'm just like working with someone's dad. I'm like, Edward, did you forward the chart? Wait, I forget that like there are people's dads that I like have on my emails with. That I might do better. I have a current vocal stem. Yes. Have you seen the Kendall tool video of Peloton where she's like, get him banned. Yeah. Ooh, get him banned. We don't do that here. We don't tolerate that disrespect. Ooh, get him banned. I knew you would love that one. I can't stop. I have to scroll. I can't stop talking to you. Because I immediately feel like I'm in. Did you ever go through that New York city like? SoulCycle. Just, it was SoulCycle flywheel. And then what was the other one? There was another one. No, I feel like there was like another one that was like trendy that like went out of business. See, this is my thing. I've been so physically and mentally abused during collegiate athletics that like, I never wanted to be yelled at by someone. Also, I don't have no rhythm, but like when you go to a SoulCycle class and you see the girls in the front, with their like bouncy shit, I was like, that's an art form that like, I'm not even gonna try to tackle. That looks like it would take years to do. I went to like three flywheel classes because like the guy I was dating at the time was like, you should go, you would like it. I was like, I love it. I love all the different versions of Paige. There were 20s. She was a one woman show. She was versatile. Sorry that I had range. Okay. You could plot me anywhere with anyone and I could talk to them and I had a great time. I do have some single friends though that like they're doing their range. Like they're deciding like, oh, I'm gonna date like a crocodile hunter, like whatever, but some of them are, because I'm married and bored. Yeah. I'm like, I trust her and like she's living life and she's bringing the stories. Like you need a friend in your group who's like in that time of her life. Well, I'm just like such a big proponent of, and I felt it and I never felt bad about saying it. And I feel like I had like boyfriends be like, it's a really mean thing to say. Like I knew when I would break up with whoever, I wasn't done going out. And I'd be like, sorry, I'm not done being for the streets. Like I'm not done going out. You're trying on different shoes. Like I don't want you to ask me like where I am every single night and keep tabs on me. Like I... When she doesn't fit, you keep going through the aisle. When I was like 27, 28, if you had proposed to me and I had gotten married. Are you talking about me? No, just like in the ethos. I would have been divorced. Make it no situation when I, cause I would have seen other girls out and I would have been like... Taking with you. Okay, now that all the non-gigglers are gone, we'll tell you the real thing. Yeah. Cause you knew they were in there. You knew they were in there. They were about 25 minutes there. Like they're stupid. They're not saying anything. Okay, this is what's going on. Did you have anything else on your docket? No, worse news. Pickleball has been added to the Olympics for 2028. Wait, was the Kit Kat thing fake or real? Was it an April Fool's joke, Anna? Oh my God, don't point at me. Sorry. I don't know. How pissed are you about pickleball though? Look. Do you feel like it's coming for your art? I support women in the arts. Totally. I personally haven't played it cause I'm afraid I'll get addicted. And then the tennis community will be mad at me. It's just interesting. It's just, I don't have any, honestly, I don't have an opinion. Difference between pickleball and paddle? Paddle's more respected. It's European. Got it. It's South American. Great question. It should be. It's really, all the tennis players look paddle. So pickleball is going to be in the next summer Olympics. Yeah. But like, they've had breakdancing. Like it's not even like a big, like you could have anything in the Olympics if they have like a good marketing team. Really? Yeah, you could have fucking kitten heel walking. I'm writing that. You're talking to my team. Which I'm not going to make the team. Why is that just a great saying, kitten heel walking? Sorry, I'm doing my kitten heel walking. Look, there's people who know how difficult it is. I would assume it's like, you have to go through a committee. You have to like, present why your sport should be in the Olympics. Like I would think that there's like, Yeah, I think you have to like give the head of a pig to the person who invented the Olympics. Like I don't know. I'm thinking there's like a whole rigmarole situation. I think drag should be in the Olympics. 100%. I would think lip sync drag should be in the Olympics. Let's go. Rue. Now we're talking. Put it on the docket. Put it on the docket. No, but the breakdancing thing was, we don't talk about it. And we skipped. We moved on so quickly. I mean, I made my whole identity for like six months. Like really, when you break it down, someone like broke into the Olympics. It was the highest. When you break it down, no pun intended. And she couldn't. She could not break it down. That's crazy. Every now and then I check her Instagram. What is she doing? I don't know. I think she was kind of. You were really connected to it with her. Yeah, I think she's still fighting the good fight. She's like, people misunderstood me. She was like, you don't. You don't understand. I was edited. I got a bad edit. People are really mad at Tlenti. Four. I love how worked up you just got because they came for your Italian heritage. Well, what are they mad at them for? It's like impossible to open up a Tlenti. Now you have my ears. So like the way it is a cool, what's it called? Container. Yeah, it's a cool container pint. But to open it, when it's in the freezer, it gets impossible. So there's always videos of people taking nail guns and knives and doing all these crazy things to open it. But then part of me is maybe it's good because no one ever needs ice cream. No, but no one's ever been like, if I don't get this ice cream right now, I'm going to die. We have a lot of pregnant listeners. So Santentos down on that. And I've never been pregnant. And there have been times where I'm like, if I don't get the pistachio, not the mint, I know they're both green. Use your eyes. Like if you've ever tried to order, no, I'm actually getting pissed. If you've ever tried to order a pint of ice cream on Instacart or like Uber Eats or whatever your medium is, and you get a man, and he just gets because it's green, I'm like, if you get me mint, I will riot. Mint is disgusting. Mint with chocolate is so vile to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like mint tea, though. No, but what I'm saying is there are those moments where I could see you trying to open the Valentin. Yeah, I like put it under hot water. I'd be like, do I actually need this right now? Or is this just an impulse? Is it 3 AM? I'm also a savory girl. You are. You're not like. I want a cheeseburger. I want a penny alavaca. Like I'll wake up in the morning and be like, you took great day to have cheesecake later. Dad's told me that he used to wake up at 6 AM and go to his freezer. And eat like a layer of the ice cream. But it's so his parents couldn't tell. So he would like delicately eat a thin layer of it and do it every day. One time when I was little, I stole like a thing of frosting. And I just like kept it in my bedroom. Because like frosting doesn't go bad. And one day my mom was like, why do you have this? And I was like, I don't know. She was frosting. Frosting, I guess it doesn't go bad. It doesn't. I had a friend whose mom like never let her have candy. So I went in her bed one day and she was like, look at this. And under her bed, she had like tons of candy. And I was like, just come to my house, my mom lets us have candy whenever we want. Yeah, I was saying, we were like, well, I don't know if we knew. Italian households, they love a cup of chocolate when you walk in. Yeah, like we do. Do you want a Ferrero Rocher? You don't like Ferrero Rocher? Thinking about hosting, like now I get why my mom was so crazy when we were younger. Like I could sit in the living room and hear like, oh, someone's coming over. And she'd be like, we don't have a cake. Where's the seven layer damp? Like, what do we have? And my parents keep a frozen cheesecake in the freezer, in the garage, in case someone comes over. What's it called? She's like, bring out the fondue. The fondue mountain. She's like, I have nothing to serve them.

I'll definitely put some pics in the newsletter because I'm really working on my tablescape and I hope that my mom is proud of me. I know. And I've seen all the packages coming in. And it's early. My brunch starts at 10. I know. Do you want my help? Or do you think I'm going to be actually distracting? Yeah. See, that's what you're going to tell people. That's what you're going to tell people. Why don't you help? And I go, because I would have made it worse. You'll see my mom and you'll be like, we haven't talked. Let's get into it. Kimberly? Oh, Kimberly, I'm so excited to see her. I just can't believe you watched me get dressed on FaceTime. Who wear better? The funniest thing is we both have perfect vision. This is insane of us. Wait, now I feel stupid. Now I feel dumb. That's what I was going to say for the, we don't do that here. Bam, we don't do that here. I want to say when other people make fun of Paige, not be able to read. Like, that'll piss me off. I'm like, OK, she's actually really, like, you know how many times I've done, like, actually, she's actually really fucking smart. Actually, she's fucking, she's smarter than me. She's a genius. And everyone's like, but you make fun of her saying she can't read every single episode. I go, because she's a genius. Get in on the joke. Like, we're being sarcastic. Do you ever get a phone call in the morning and you have to answer, but do you try to pretend like you're not asleep? All the time. Like you didn't just wake up. What's your strategy? Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Red leather, yellow leather. Red leather, yellow leather. All the time, people are like, you just wake up. Yeah. And I go, no, I'm sick. Oh, that's a good one. Sometimes I'll give like, oh, Kitty was up all night. Kitty looks over like, the fuck I was. You know I've been sleeping for 20 hours. I've been like, sorry, I've been just writing. No. But we are creatives. Yes. So we do stay up a little bit later, because we don't have a traditional pause, as they say. Not to call you out. You were quite productive this morning, though, over text. Well, I was mad about something. Oh. Like, I literally separately texted Grace, and was like, his page, like, OK. And she's like, if you piss me off, I'll be at the gym at 8 AM. When I'm mad, things are getting done. Oh, I'm turning into my mom. Oh my god. Wait, I actually just had a moment. I'm going to start crying. Because I'm like, actually. But like, you know when you're younger, and like your mom's pissed off about something, and you're like, fuck. Like, she could pick up anything. Like, anything could happen, and she was going to go off. Whenever my mom would get mad, I feel like she would, like, come in my room, and like, and this is just all over the place. And you're like, OK, like, that's, it's been all over the place. But that's me. Like, if something pisses me off, and I can't, like, take it out on that, that's really bad. I should talk about it in therapy. Look at us realizing things. That was really healthy. Yeah, because I'll wake up and be like, and guess what else isn't working? The TV. So figure it out. Like, anything could set me off. Yeah, that's like when you're pouring your coffee and like a little milk spills, and your day's been going bad already, and you're like, are you serious? Can I get a die? Speaking of woman of STEM of the week. My god. Her name is at E-Money on the track. Shout out. She follows me. That was pretty cool. Why do I feel like a radio DJ? Shout out. From like the nice knees. E-Money on the track. Shout out. She's doing, do you know what a crow pose is? OK, if you're a yogi, a crow pose is a hard pose. And she's doing a side crow pose, which you can only imagine. I actually can't. I just don't know why I can't. It's double hard. I can go with you. Like usually I can follow you, but this one I. She's doing like a side crow pose. And then her head is like floating. And then she's sipping apparel spreads. And I think that earned woman of STEM of the week. Because like you're doing yoga and you're getting drunk. Are girls still drinking apparel spreads? Like do you think I still a thing or is just. That's the difference between me and you. What do you mean? Don't play innocent. I don't like apparel spreads. OK, because I was going to say aesthetic girls love apparel spreads because of the flat lay. Because the color is so nice. I think it tastes like Robotassin. It does, but it looks so hydrating. It looks like Gatorade Zero. And I try it every summer. I'm like maybe this is the summer that like I love apparel spreads. Yeah, I want to be a girl who likes apparel spreads, but here we are. No, I want to be a girl that can like get drunk and not. Get hungover. No, it's not even that. I would take the hungover. I don't even get to the point of like being drunk and having fun. Yeah, you're an honest. Like I'm already like, I'm like, sorry, I have to go. I have to throw up. Like I can't do that. Shout out to another girl who got women of STEM of the week. What's it called when you didn't win, but you got runner up? Yeah, she got runner up. She posted a video. Her name's MG. She's like when you're about to get proposed to, but you don't know and you're not getting out of the pool. And it's her friend filming her where like, you know, when you get in the pool and you're like, this is what I'm doing for the next eight hours. And she's like doing mermaid. She's doing handstand. She's having a day. She's having a day. She's flopping around. And everyone's like, when is she going to get out of the pool? Like he's trying to propose to her. And I feel like that is girlhood and that makes me so happy. That's so you. That's so me. If I'm like asleep and like does woke me up to propose to me, I was like, can I get like an hour more sleep? And then we could do this. If and when I get engaged, I feel like it's going to be really hard to surprise me. Even if you did it successfully, you still would smell it off of them. 100%. And here's the other thing. I'm asking my mom and my mom's telling me. Yeah. Like if I have a vibe and I say, mom, do you know anything about this? She's telling me. Can I also say something controversial? Yeah. If your guy does surprise you. Yeah. That means he's a liar and he a cheater. It's not a good sign. If he's that good at hiding something from you, I don't want to marry you. Well, I want it clunky. I do think it's a red flag if you're getting engaged to someone and no one knows. Like he's doing it and he hasn't told any of your friends. He hasn't told any of your friends. He hasn't asked your dad. I mean, not everyone does the like ask your dad thing. But did Dez do the ask your dad thing? Well, that was actually a really funny story. I was in the bathroom as I always am with the door open. It's right next to the garage. And Dez was in the garage with my dad. And they're speaking very loud. And of course, I can overhear them. And he basically was like, hey, can I marry your daughter? Oh my god, wait. You never told me that. So you heard him ask. I've literally heard it. And my heart sang. I was like, this is so annoying. And then of course, my dad goes, yeah, she's your problem now making a joke. They're laughing. And I'm like, what the fuck? And then my dad walks in, tells my mom. So even if I hadn't heard that, I then hear him telling my mom. Like my New York family so fucking loud. Oh my god. No one can keep a secret. Then I get out of the bathroom. I'm like, hey, I heard everything. So how quickly from then to when he did it? Maybe like one or two months. But a funny thing that happened is we were in West Hampton. And he kept being like, I need to go to the city. And I felt like it was for a reason for the thing. And we had to go to the city. And we were fostering really shy pit bulls, like pit bulls that needed help. And he opens the door to go to the city. And this pit bull runs out. Like after him? Yeah. And we basically are chasing up a huge pit bull around West This is my nightmare. It ends up taking like two hours. And Dez is normally pretty calm in these situations. And I could tell he's freaking out. And I'm like, we're going to get the dog. It's fine. Like there's nowhere for the dog to go. We're on an eye. And we get the dog. And I find out later he had an appointment to get the ring. So he was freaking out. And I'm here just laughing because the dog, we just try to get the dog and it keeps running away from us. And I think it's so funny. And he's like, not the John. I really think my dad's going to be like, no. My dad was like, are you ready to get a twitch? Yeah. I think my dad's going to be like, ah, let me ask my wife. And we'll let you know. I know for a fact that he's going to be like, yeah, I don't like this at all. He's going to be like, what'd you say to me? You know what? I don't think he's been nervous for it because anyone I date, my dad's like, she's just playing. She's just having fun. Like he doesn't take anything seriously. I feel like anyone you dated in the past hasn't had a moment to even talk to your dad like that. He's watching the news in the other room. No, my dad's not making. He's not available. Also, they have to go through me first. Yeah. There's a lot of steps before you get to your dad. Totally. How did we even get on that? You have to fight me first. You have to get a physical altercation with me. I wish I could bring something up from TikTok or anything that I saw this week. Well, I didn't know what happened. I deleted all my apps. But then I messaged our Gen Alpha Z correspondent, my cousin Andrea, and I said, hey, what's going on on TikTok? She gets me on a voice note with her friend, and they're trying to explain to me about Olivia Rodrigo. She came out with a new album. Yeah, but how she was in the same party as Taylor Swift when they famously have beef. It was at the same party. Paul McCartney's party. And you know who's also there? John Mayer, who Taylor Swift has wrote a lot of stuff about. And they were. I forgot who they were. So that was from Andrea. I was like, what do I say to the giglers? And they left me a long thing. So thank you, Andrea, for that T. But she doesn't know what it means. At the end of the day, Paul McCartney's an icon. I think they all wanted to be there to support. What kind of party? He was a listening part. I don't know. What people do at parties? I don't know. The fact that people in Hollywood who are so rich and famous still want to go to parties, I'm like, when does it end? Well, you know, that's actually something that's very interesting because I feel like the socializing scene in LA, New York, and Miami is so completely different. I don't like any of it. I'm probably not going to any of them. So they're similar. But New York is so like you must go to dinner. What you're famished, you haven't eaten. I don't know why they're all of a sudden British. And then it's like out. And then it's someone's apartment. We're like LA. I feel like they skip. Crazy house parties. Yeah, just you go to someone's house in the middle of nowhere where there's no cell phone service. And everyone's like, what do you do? Who are you represented by? Who do you know here? I've only gone to like a couple parties in LA before. One, I did almost get abducted slash murdered. Another one, me and you spoke to nobody and we're just in the corner. What was that? One the dark one. It was like a bar. Yes. We got french fries. Anyway, I did grass. OK, now that all the non-gigglers are like for sure gone because they thought they were before, but now they are. I just want to let you guys know. Hannah's never told a lie. Name one time that Hannah's lied. I do have to say I want us to like actually learn from the situation as a whole. When you feel wronged by someone or things didn't go well, do not try to get revenge. Do not try to hurt them. Do not think about them in negative ways. Literally say thank you and focus on yourself because the more you attach to the old energy, what they put at you, they're putting it other people, they're putting towards themselves. Remove yourself from the situation and their stuff is going to be handled. Leave that to God. Leave that to whatever you believe in. Focus on yourself. Keep your hands clean. Go to sleep at peace. And I focus on myself. I try to stay out of drama. Occasionally drama comes to me and I hear about it. It finds us. And that's women in the hearts. Unless you're a man, then I'm coming for you. Don't rest. If you've ever dated me, don't rest. That speech was for girls. Don't rest. OK, that's all the time we have for tonight. Thank you so much. Thanks for your giggling. Bye.
