It's happened again. All you said was barrel leg. Now she's looking at you like Nadine isn't your real name. Look at you go as you explain volume cocoon is a key shape for the season. 100% cotton you say? No way she says and then oh a little extension of the trouser leg. Check out that pleat. Then you break the news. They're from Primark? Only £16. Be a good friend. You can borrow them. Hopefully she'll forget that. Shockingly chic for £16. That's so Primark. Available in store and on click and collect. This is Sam and Pete from Saying Relevance and we are currently sponsored by Tu-E. Sam, what is the one thing we always disagree about? Where to have lunch or what time we start recording actually the podcast. The title of episodes even. I mean to be fair all of those but not what I was thinking. I was going for holidays. Oh yeah, right holidays. So you and I have a slightly different vibe but that's where Tu-E comes in. Tu-E has more options and more choice with hundreds of destinations worldwide. So we can find somewhere for you to chill and for me to get my adventure on which is perfect. Tu-E, you pick it, they sort it. Booking T's and C's apply, Atto and Abt are protected. Sup gigloos? Cary, fix the wifi. Manifest that shit. We can't be managed. I mean the day just got away from me. Hello my galactic gigglers. I feel like we use that one all the time and I don't know what it says about us but whatever. We use it every week. We use it. We say galactic. You go boo, same one as last time. You just think that like we'd come up with something after five years. Well for some reason god forbid I like take some time to research the G word but also like are we Joe Rogan? It pops up on you every time. Talking about aliens? Yeah. Well I like to be psychic about it like what comes to me in the moment. Can I just call you out real quick? I mean we're two, we're literally like a minute and 14 seconds in but sure. That's exactly how I wanted to start like the Monday back to work after a holiday week. How about it? Fucking day. No it's actually a compliment. Oh okay then you know what? Please. The floor is yours. So obviously it takes us forever to like get on at the same time to record this pod. I had food coming, then Paige had food coming. Well when we're virtual it's like it's literally we're in college and we have to do a group project. Yeah we're like way that's so crazy because Billy actually just texted me back and like invited me over and so like I have to go. Our group leader Grace is not here so me and you are like do we do it? Is it even do? Do you want to double check when it's do? Actually the weather is supposed to be really bad tomorrow so we're probably getting a snow day anyway so like it doesn't actually matter. Did you see how windy it was outside? I think I'm on soon is about to hit. No we will we finally got it together and then you're taking like forever because you're like I'm free. Wait will we ever feel the happiness you felt in college where you knew the next day was a snow day? No. Like I don't think I've ever felt that level of like relief, excitement, happiness. Well there's also the tension of like do you know like the couple hours where it starts going around like it could be a snow day. It could be a snow day and you're asking around you're like you're turning into a meteorologist you're like checking the fucking. I'm on some website I've never been on before with like blue like fucking signage. I'm like I'm immediately planning my outfit. I'm like are we going opera ski chic or are we going comfy cozy like that was always my. No because you're like do I have to study for eight hours or not like tell me right now also were you the one that said to me that you want to be a meteorologist but you didn't know that actually had to be a scientist. Yes, where were we? I don't know where we were. We were like about to go on live TV or something and you just go do you know I want to do this until I learned you had to actually be a scientist which is berserk. It's literally that tiktok sound when it's like you spend too much time with the same person it's like the ancient Romans believed that. Okay, I for like my whole life was like I'm going to be a news anchor and then once I saw like a meteorologist who had like a pretty outfit on I was like actually sold done. Also they like kind of seem like they do the least work like but they're really important. They're on for four minutes but they're so important and they have star quality people wait for the weather. Yes, they're like weather in 10 minutes and everyone's like and you could be wrong and no one cares it's perfect for you. You could literally fuck up every time and they'd be like it's the weather you never know. I could come back the next day and be like oops my bad. No, can I just say like why can't they find one nerdy person to just tell the meteorologist what to say? Well, essentially I feel like it is. Essentially every meteorologist is logging on to like software to like track storms and I think they're like sharing information the way like the news station share other information like news stories. So I think they I think it is like a one big collab. Okay, yeah, but it is you have to know science and I was like you know what guys. I famously caused a lot of drama in college when we all talk this took this weather class that was supposed to be easy with like nimbus clouds and stuff turns out the hardest class ever all of us failed and then it was a whole thing but like clouds are really fucking confusing. Like, no like, like I almost didn't make it through that class. Oh yeah so this is what I'm mad at you about. Oh yeah. Oh we got so sidetracked. Okay, yeah. Yeah so you're like, like nowhere to be found after she's like I'm ready right now and then I like send her the link and she's nowhere to be found so then I always go like are you okay. And she goes sorry my computer is acting whack right now and I go wait bring back whack. I don't think I ever stopped. It is the best word ever. I feel like I say whack all the time. It's in my everyday jargon. And if you want to go real crazy you go that shit's whack. If you want to be real New York sneakerhead. So whack. Wait I'm just so whack. Because here's the thing it's such a good describing word for so many different genres of your life like I've said it about so many men's behavior like he literally was just acting whack whack like the vibes are all it was just like guys. Also you don't have to speak English and you know what whack means like whack you know what that word means it transcends cultures. I guess is that such a millennial term. I think it's a New York term. Oh, but I also like could be completely wrong because I've never left New York. Wait what else do you use whack for like outfits like. If someone's appearance. If Joan Rivers was born in 1992. She would have definitely said whack. That shit's whack. Also. Yeah like that's just like a whack outfit like what the fuck is going on here. Can I call out fashion people for a second they're running out of adjectives and you know how they get like really into what you remember when everyone said major for like two years. And then people shortened it to mage. And they'd be you could be talking about literally like a sandal or like a full Prada outfit and they'd just be like that's major. I feel like that was like Rachel's Oh effect. Wait, I'm like really on a ginger ale kick. Oh good for you. Shout out Canada dry. We love Canada. We love. Sorry, Canada. Big fan of your work. Okay, what were we just saying? Oh, I was I was just saying whack is a great word and we should use it more. You know it is a really good word. How was your Thanksgiving. My Thanksgiving was really fun. I do. I would like to report that our family feud annual family feud girls one again. It's like four years in a row. It's like it's embarrassing at this point. It's not fair. The biggest debate of. Thanksgiving and this wasn't even like in my immediate family. It was just like by standards and like. Cause you let random people in on Thanksgiving. Your Thanksgiving. You let you have a doors open policy on Thanksgiving. Like anyone who's anyone is joining up. Yeah. And Kim loves loves it. So Kim loves hosting. I didn't realize how much my dad loves. Toast and I think that that's something that's come with age. Like at any moment he was like offering people toast and I was like, Oh, not like doing a toast like literal bread. No, like actual sourdough. You meant like he kept wanting to give all these nice speeches about God. No, that is the opposite of my dad's personality. He would never do that. That's insane. He'd need seven beta blockers for that. I don't even think he's going to be able to talk at my wedding. It's a whole topic of discussion. Anyway, so one of the big topics of discussion. That was lavender marriage. And I was explaining to a male what lavender marriage was a gay man. I think that's important for the story. No, I think that's important because the straight man. There was a straight man sitting on the side who said, why is it called lavender? And I was like an actual excellent question. I have no idea what the answer is to that, but we both think it's pretty. I was going to say because straight men don't know shades of color and lavender is a shade of purple. Like maybe no straight guy would see purple and be like, that's lavender. Correct. So the female side of the argument was saying that lavender marriages have become more and more prevalent because women in our age group, it's the first time ever that we're surpassing men in our age group. Like we make more money, we graduate college more, we own more houses, things like that. And then it's harder to find a partner that you feel like has all of those things or is at least working toward all of those things and is also emotionally intelligent, like to your level, like whatever. Like yes, there's an argument that you could date older or younger, whatever, but whatever. Not younger, not younger. No, not younger. That wouldn't really work. So we were explaining that more women and yes, we're still on a biological clock, that more women are choosing a stable home with their gay bestie, having obviously different sexual partners, but like he's the dad, she's the mom. They're always together. They do family things together, but it is economically efficient in some cases to be married. So it's like, why don't we do life together, make it easier for us financially. We can have the family we wanted, like we have biological children, but like we date other people. Wait, I thought lavender marriage was when you didn't really know if he was gay, but everyone else is like, he's gay. Like he doesn't know he's gay. I think maybe that's it, but we turned it into something. I was like, I never heard of this. Listen, we were a couple of wines deep. We were, we're like, what can we talk about that's religious, but not too religious, not too religious. That's a bit political, but not too political. And that's where we landed and we people walked out, people walked out. So the guy that we were explaining that I was explaining this to said, okay, I understand my argument is, don't you want more for yourself? And we were like, well, of course we want to meet someone that you get all of those things and you're also romantically involved. But sometimes it's give and take. You don't have enough time. It's like certain situations happen and he couldn't get past that like we would immediately resort to some type of lavender marriage. And so words were exchanged. And then turkey legs were brought into it. It was someone hit a turkey leg and then that was a response at some point. It was like someone took it a little too personally. Someone didn't realize they were in a lavender marriage. One thing I did realize though, I think this is like my first, I don't even want to say confrontation because it legitimately was not even like a real confrontation. Also definitely wasn't your first. No, I'm saying it genuinely I think was my first post being on reality TV. Oh yeah, post reality TV. Yeah. I had an out of body experience. Oh, when when your heart like, oh my God, they're arguing and I immediately my first look for cameras. Is there music playing? Wait, my hair. My hair is still up. Well, that's the thing. Whenever there's something you know is going to make a good scene, you always were like, I have the best outfit for this fight. Oh, I love doing that. No, but I immediately my first thought was like, Oh, let me jump in and explain what each side is meaning to say because I see where it's getting lost in trends. You started a fucking confessional in your closet. And then I go, wait a minute. I actually don't have to say a God damn thing. I sat there. I said, Mom, I think I will have this laser apple pie and like, I'll sit back and enjoy. It was like, what a debate. How fun. But I think it's important for people to understand reality TV where like, as someone who's like, was like, OK, we're in it. We're fighting. We're fighting again. We're fight the fights are keep going. I literally haven't had one friend fight since. Right me neither. I'm not being dramatic and it's been like four years. Maybe we should like, schedule a fight between you and I to get at least like a boxing match. Something she gets something. I mean, I feel like every Giggly Squad is like its own form of mind gymnastics. So true. We really make you think on this pod. We really do. Not to radicalize everyone and to take it a step further. That just. No, I'm just aware that like, we are capable of radicalizing women. And if we were like stone every man right now, they would select with that power comes great responsibility. I want to radicalize people. However, I did read that a lot of women are doing what you explained where they're just like, I feel successful. I feel fulfilled. Married women can be the least happy like married men are the most happy where married women like are making the least money, whatever. Some of them like imagine if me and you never met anyone. They're just moving in with their girlfriends getting sperm, having kids and then like co-parenting all the babies in like a beautiful just like feminine commune using the same sperm. Not the same necessarily, but like we get pregnant. We move into a mansion and then just like, like sometimes I I could breastfeed your baby if you're sleeping. Like we're just like taking care of it. Why did I go there? I'm page trying new things on a whole different era. Imagine one day we just have a YouTube channel and it's turned into you breastfeeding my baby. I think there's like a few steps that I took a way different turn that I've ever intended on taking. Because that is so crazy. Back in the day, the women would like communally raise the children like the children were the tribes, you know, totally. It takes a village. It takes a village. I think we're recreating like women villages because it's like if your man is not an asset and if he's actually like ruining the vibes and then happens to a couple people, you're like, hey, why don't we just we're making money come together? It's an option. I mean, I froze my eggs. So if I was like in my 40s and I felt like that I would be so fine to do that. Like I would do that. There is something so chic about like at 44 just like smoking a sick and being like I'm going to have a baby. I'm going to have one baby being 44 and having one daughter in New York City. That was a thing like growing up. I had a lot of friends whose moms were like 80 and then I realized like, oh, she was like the CEO of some like huge tech company that like randomly was like, okay, I need like I'll have like a little baby. I guess I have like 50. Yeah. And they're always like badass and they work like clothes. Okay guys, we're back with a round two of holiday gift swap because I don't believe you should just have round one. You can do as many as you want.

We'd have two shows in one night and after the first show, all my makeup would be off. No. When I tell you that Hannah's face is so oily. No, it's it just like, it's like, sorry, not me, not now. Like I'm not wearing eyeliner anymore. I'm actually going to take it off myself. After the show, it looks like I just woke up in the morning. Like I had nothing on my face. Your skin rebels against you. And you want to know what else? It actually feels... Hydrating. Yes. Like it doesn't, like I've used some setting sprays and it's like, okay, I just put hairspray all over my face. I've used something that could kill a small horse. I love that Ulta carry Charlotte Tilbury. It's one of my favorite brands for years now. I mean, PoloTalk, hello. Hello. With some respect. Truly. On the name. Okay, my turn.

Yeah, they're amazing and their palettes are so good. This one has bronzing, highlighting, blush. Yes. You know, someone likes a gift when they start using it immediately.

Show the shades to the camera, give me credit where credit to do. Yeah, they're good. Gorgeous. And I love blush. Yeah. Like, some people are not big blush people and I don't relate to those people. No, I'm so obsessed with blush and I like to put it like on the sides of my head because I saw some TikTok girls do it. Yeah, and it's like, that's how I feel. I know every year we promise to keep it simple, but we love each other and we just love to give each other gifts and makeup and skincare is our favorite thing. It really is because it's something that we can share. Yes. And you can make recommendations to me on how I can change my face, which is one of your favorite things to do. Well. You look out for me.

This chat was brought to you by Ulta Beauty and Acast Creative Studio. My Thanksgiving, there was drama too. Okay. Where, well, okay, not to be depressing, but we're at this weird time where I don't have kids. My brother has a full family in the Midwest and my, it's just like me does my Nana, Papa, and my mom and dad. And then does had to go to Ireland. So then I was back, well, I'm the favorite. So I was like, this is what we all want to do, right? I'm like, let's all, we go to a restaurant. I'm like, Nana, Papa, you don't have to cook. You're literally 83. And because they want to, I'm like, no, we go to this restaurant and it was so cute, so nice. My Nana has her sparkly cane. Everyone's loving it. She has her decolletage out. She's complaining. It's a holiday. It's a holiday. She's looking amazing. We're taking selfies in the bathroom. Then my mom goes, you know, it's really important that we ask our elders like Nana Papa questions about when they were younger. Like it's really important. Yeah. And I was like, yeah. So she goes, Nana, like what was your bedroom like when you grew up? What a phenomenal question. Right. And Nana goes, I didn't have one. And we're like, what? And she goes, yeah, I just slept on the couch. And we were like, what? And she's like, yeah, we had one bedroom. And we go, but you had two other sisters. Where did they sleep? And she's like, I don't, I don't know. I'm like, man, did you not have a bed? And then she was like, didn't have hot water either. And we were like, Nana, what the fuck? Wait, where did Nana live? Then I turned to Papa and I'm like, Papa, he goes, yeah, we had to boil water. And pour it on ourselves. And I was like, what? So we, it started funny. And then we were like, I was like, mom, did you know Nana didn't have a bed growing up? She was like, no. And then Nana goes, I wanted to be, I wanted to be an artist. And I wanted to be a Hollywood movie star. But then I was 18 and I was 18. I met your papa. And next thing you know, I had three children. That's what you did back then. And everyone was just like sitting there inside. This is just two generations. Like this is, no, I was just going to say, and so when people act like, oh my God, women are like rebelling. And the reason of the male loneliness epidemic, it's like, no, we're just, it's the first time that we're allowed to like go outside. Living for some, we have a credit card. No, like it's literally the first time we've lived alone, made our own decisions. Like, wait, I love that your auto response when something is awkward or like depressing is to immediately laugh. No, we were dying laughing. We were like, no, that's so sad. Like, how do we not like my mom didn't know her mom grew up like that. But then she had to get married so they could get a shower. So when they got married, they got their own place with a shower and they were like living large. And I was like, I get it. I would get married too if I like didn't have hot water. Fuck yeah. I've done more for last. I've done so much more for last, I feel like. And then I'm thinking about how I like complain if I like forgot my face wash. Yeah. I'm doing a full 18 step girl shower and I'm mad if like my face wash like smells weird. No, there's a lot of times where I think where like one of the things I really try and practice in my everyday life because I really truly feel like it's the key to like manifestation is like being grateful for things. And one of the things I always am grateful for is that I don't live in any other time period. Even though we know that you would have been iconic with like Marie Antoinette like totally but I'm not making it. Yeah, I was born in the right time period. You'd get a UTI and be out. No, it's not even. First of all, my UTIs they would have taken me out and like any 1817 1615 hundreds. I'm dead. Next I know I just I wouldn't be able to do it like I wouldn't know like if I'm uncomfortable. I can't. I literally will have a panic attack. No, but this is the thing page. Remember when I brought you to the best Western and you you were great. You were scared and you you were upset, but you thrived like you can deal with more adversity than you think you just know what was funny about that night that you piled me into a room with seven other people and made me sleep in the middle. And a straight man was there. That was crazy work on your part. The one of the craziest things about me though is when I do hit some type of adversity. I'm always like I'm going to be up all night. Like I'm never I'm immediately out like a light because my body is like truly like we cannot experience this for a second longer. We're putting ourselves to bed. Like you lived in a share house for like 10 years every summer. Like you've done you've done hard things and must go to bed like because my body was like I can't but we can't. So yeah, I literally was like, do you remember when Nana grew up living in a cardboard box? So that's like the new thing we're joking about within the family. So like you live and you learn and it was a beautiful like full circle moment to spend with. No, it really is especially because as you're as her granddaughter, you have put her in so many different things and she's experienced so many things that like. Well, that's my thing like she's a star. I grew up like walking in a room and everyone looks at her like she is the like Italian Marilyn Monroe of my generation. So she deserves all the attention and she loves it. She loves her fans. She wants to say hi to you guys. I love you. I love my fans. I'm posting every day with a nice long caption. So yeah, happy holidays. Okay, happy holidays. Fuck it. You know what? Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Happy holidays. What a way to round that story out. That was crazy. This is not live TV.

And then we all just continued our dinner. I was like sorry I ordered the medium rare. Thinking about Nana as a small child makes me really upset. Wait what were we just gonna say? I was gonna say something. You were gonna say what you were gonna say. Right okay got it. Perfect. You're gonna forget. If you keep laughing you're gonna forget. Stop. Okay this is what I was gonna say. In a world full of ozampic. Stop. In a world full of ozampic. Everyone's skinny. I mean it's actually it's like a whole separate story. I can't actually truly get into it right now because it's making me ill. Everybody is skinny. The only person I want to see skinny is Rob Kardashian. That's it. That's the only person I want on the shot. Like everybody else totally do what's right for you, your body, your family. Yeah. Rob Kardashian I need. I need 2009 Rob Kardashian back. Now look I accept Rob at all sizes. Totally. However if anyone does have access to ozampic. It's Rob. It's Rob. Has there been any Rob sightings recently? You know I'm not sure but like I saw a TikTok of him recently. It was like a Kardashian mashup and I realized that like Rob Kardashian 2006 to 2012 was my exact type. Yeah. Yeah. Hot, great eyebrows. I'll die on a hill. He looked Italian. I thought he was so funny. Yeah. He had earrings I think. He's also so little brother energy. I was big into earrings at that. He's a chunky diamond earring on a man. Yeah. Like a cubic zirconium. That's what it's called. One guys used to get one ear pierced back in the day. That was like they were naughty. They were really bad boys and they like never even got a hand job before but they're getting their ears pierced. I'm pretty sure my brother got his ears pierced one time in high school and I'm pretty sure my mom literally I'm not getting physically ripped to the mouth of his head. Yeah. That's what happened to my dad. Like my dad immediately they were like take it out. Yeah. Take it out. I don't think it even lasted like an hour. Poor guy. Actually I told you yeah one of my little family members was like my mom's not letting me get a earring and I was like I'll pierce it right now. And he's like what? And I'm like yeah just some ice and you just stab it. And he's like I have to check with her first. Do you know actually one of my cousins is like totally will just do that. Yeah. Like she's pierced all like pierced her ears. No. We both just have one piercing right. I actually have three in each ear. Oh my god. Wait are you looking at me differently? You're a punk. You're okay. Did you shop at Hot Topic? Wait when was the last time you had them all in? Okay. Crack is whack. I've been waiting to say that. My mom wouldn't let me hang out with you if you came in with fucking piercings up to your forehead. Saying crack is whack to me is insane. Wait me running into every party bathroom crack is whack. That's why they don't invite you to parties Hannah. You run in and yell to their face crack is whack and film it. You would have been my favorite project in high school. So I got my second and third hole pierced when I was like 26. It wasn't like I wasn't in like high school or college. I knew you then. You didn't even tell me. Yes I'm pretty sure we've talked about this. But the best part of this story is that I told my mom and she didn't talk to me for like four days. Yeah because it's yeah she shouldn't. That's crazy behavior. I 26. Yeah but I was like mom it's literally my ear and I'm almost 30. How often have you like fully had him in? I used to do it a lot all the time. I mean I'm sure one of the either means some of them probably are closed but like if I really want to I can like poke through. But I wanted it because like I just thought it looked cool when I would wear like hoops and like studs or like three different size hoops. I like I wonder what the trends are now for Gen Z's with piercings. I'm not really sure because there was a time where like everyone had like the top pierced or whatever. See I never went there with my brain like I never even thought about it. Never even thought about it. This does remind me though back in the day like maybe 2016 I started like being online and I made friends with this influencer Jerobine. Where is this going? I made friends with this girl Jerobine who is still a creator and she's iconic like she was like a soul cycle instructor and like tatted up and she wore like rings all the time. Like at that point I felt like girls who wear rings are like a different level of like cool. She would wear rings all the time and she just was like cool and a vibe and fashionable whatever. So we go to eat coffee and snacks and then she's like I want to get my nipple pierced and this is the problem when people meet me. I think my energy gives. Yeah. I will get my nipple pierced with you at 3pm on a Tuesday. And then they're thrown for a loop when I'm like I'm scared. I'm terrified right now. Like you're like I actually I don't even handle caffeine while. I go this whole milk latte is going to ruin me like this is the crazy part of my day this whole milk latte. I'm actually scared with this whole milk latte. So then I was like I'll come with you though and I think she thought I was like going to be like and I'll get I'll get this. So next thing you know I just hung out with her as she got her nipple. I couldn't even watch it. I started gagging. I was like like it was so intense and I was like are you okay? And then we never saw each other again. I did not think that this story ended. You hung out one time? Well like we're still friends but I don't know. I think she moved. Like takes you in different places. Wait I forgot to tell you guys. I feel like I'm like back with my friends to be like like how I embarrassed myself with other friends. I went to one of these like events where you like sit down and have dinner. And I finally start. A dinner? Also known as dinner. This is crazy mental dinner. I went to this new concept. They're trying it but like only in certain parts of the country. Sorry my nana didn't eat dinner until she was 22. Okay it's new in our family. Nanna's like dinner we ate grass. There wasn't even any grass in Brooklyn. Anyway. Oh god okay. So I actually was like nervous. I like because I didn't go with anyone. So I'm like I hope I make friends with someone and finally I start like bonding with someone like in it. I'm like oh wait they like me. Like they're liking this interaction. I'm fun. I'm cool. And she then turns to me and she goes I have a weed pen. Do you want to smoke outside? Wait where is this? This is that like a event thing. Okay yeah. And in that moment I felt like I was 12 years old again and my crush asked me to smoke weed with him. And I said I can't. My mom doesn't let me. And then he never talked to me again. So she looks at me and I go oh sorry I don't smoke. The disappointment in her face was and I was like I support it though. Like I will go outside and keep talking like we are while you smoke. And she was like she literally pushed back. She's like you don't smoke. And I'm like oh you're not going to convince me now. Like I'm not out of room this party. I don't want to do this. And also we just met like this isn't like a page. Wait that's so weird. No she literally was like you don't. And I'm like I'm not lying to you. Like I'm also like it's Tuesday again. It's a Tuesday. And I can just. I feel like smoking like you have to be a particular type of person. I feel like to also smoke weed and then walk back into a dinner of like a bunch of people and like have a conversation. Like I would personally die. Also like what strand like what how much does it weigh? Like what color? Oh so you don't know any of that. So no. No. Even if a doctor walked up to you and said this is going to make you feel the best ever. It's X, Y and Z. You'd be like no. I just like you know I am already anxious socially. So like to see her like falling in love with me to then see her like disappointed in me and that she got me all wrong. And then like she hasn't hit me up. So maybe. It is funny that you I don't know what it is about you. Also do I want friends? No. But do I want them to want to be my friend? Yes. I don't know what it is about you that people read your personality. The majority of the time. So wrong. I'm so misunderstood. Thank you. No. I'm so misunderstood. I don't mean to like I'm working on it in therapy. I'm so misunderstood on this in this world. I really feel like you are. You are misunderstood though. There are so many parts of your personality that people are like Hannah. That's so Hannah and I'm like Hannah what fucking killer. No, but like then it made me feel like I was like lying to her but it's like no I'm I love to chat. I love to I'm totally I'm like charismatic. I don't know. But that does but then I couldn't smoke weed with her and I wasn't cool enough. Yeah. Totally. And but my husband's sober so he loves me. And you don't need to smoke weed to have fun. Craig is wack. You guys crack is. Crack is wack has been the theme and I did I really didn't think we were going there that this week. Oh can we add to my other social awkward encounters. Yeah. So I was in Florida all weekend and when you're in Florida shit's going to happen. You know. So I decide to order Uber Eats to this hotel which is a risk you know or Uber Eats to hotel especially when they don't bring it up to you is a risk. Can go. Yeah. There's so many variables. So many things can go wrong. Yeah. So I decide issues. It's just it's a lot. Don't actually I'm literally thinking about your stress just think about also like you forget your fork. It's a whole thing. Yeah. I for some reason I'm like I'm going to go down and meet them right there. Like I'm going to I'm going to cut the middle man. Give me the fucking. Yeah. Right handed over. I look me in my eye. Tell me that's my food. Yeah. I'm starving. So would you order. I ordered from this Mexican place called Grumpy Gringo. Okay. So I go down and the ladies like hey they don't let us leave it at we have to leave it at the desk and I go great I'm actually in the lobby and then she immediately order done cuts off communication cuts off communication. At a time like this. I'm in the lobby and I'm looking at the counter nothing on the counter and I start panicking. So I wait in line at the counter because there's of course a line of like all these people signing for vacation and I'm like hey any Uber Eats orders and they're like no. And I'm like okay well she said it was here and then she disappeared and she didn't take a photo which is a no no in the community so suspect so suspect I'm like I think she ate my food. So then the ladies like okay and actually this is a very confusing hotel it could be in many different places and I'm like totally and she's like you're just going to have to tell me the name of the restaurant and I was like I can't tell you. And she's like tell me the restaurant and I'm like it's Mexican and she's like what is the name of the restaurant miss and I'm like I don't know and she's like can you check your phone and I'm like no and then we go back and forth for like three minutes. Why don't you just check your phone? Because I didn't want to say grumpy gringo in front of everyone. And I'm like it's under Hannah it's room you know 1002 and she's like gave me the name finally out of nowhere a bell man comes with my food and everything worked out but there was a moment I don't know I just feel like I was set up to fail. We almost lost you. I was so scared in Florida but I also was in St. no Fort Myers and I said what's up St. Pete. You always do that. At this point the gigglies are like get a new bit. Sometimes it is hard to remember. I was going to say there's also about ordering food in a hotel. There's something like there's also I don't know what it is but there's something inherently embarrassing about waiting for your order in the lobby. I also low key always feel like I'm doing something illegal because I'm like I'm like I know you guys have a restaurant here and I love it and I'm so proud of you guys. I don't want to eat it. It's not Wendy sorry. I am going to get something else but I also feel like that's kind of illegal and then I also feel like sometimes I don't know why I get this anxious where I'm like do they think I'm waiting for a drug dealer. That's like when you're at TSA and they're obviously they don't think I'm waiting for a drug dealer. Did I leave cocaine at my butthole from that one time. No it's irrational. It's extremely it's vulnerable. It's violating. It's embarrassing. And then sometimes they have like multiple bags when it's not necessary but it looks like you're going to have like a secret pig out which you are. Yeah but it's just like a lot. If they were like give us your social security number and we'll bring it up to your room I'm like done. I'm like literally giving you my first born for you to bring it up to the room because if I have to put pants on and go downstairs also sometimes I just showered to shower and then have to like your last shower of the day to shower and then have to go into public again it ruins the feng shui it ruins the flow.

I'm in a Nashville Cahole. Oh, I thought you were like in Nashville. No, I'm watching Nashville still. And I like couldn't get into it and we did pinpoint it to it's a musical. And I just I can't do it. Were you on your phone during it? Kind of, yeah. I think you should give it one more chance. Like I'm not going to pressure you like now or tomorrow, but like don't completely because there's 30 episodes a season. Like I'm no, I know, I know my life has been lost to this and it is like a soap opera where every scene something happens like the second thing they never lose me. I think it's like the cadence in which people in the South speak. And no, I'm not getting. No, I'm not getting. And it's everything sounds so depressing, but yet like so ugly. Sorry, that was a bit harsh. What an unhinged hour this has been. Like I really I don't ever have any expectations for what the box going to be. But this wasn't it this week. This was not it. We want to apologize. This was just not it. Well, whenever I think it's a bad podcast, people be like, it was the funniest podcast. No, wait, hear me out here. Listen to me. You know, like you just came for half of the nation. No, OK, you know, I'm talking about specifically this show when they're talking about something, what is the Redhead Girls name like Connie Brand? Yes, like, obviously, things are happening with her career and like something sad or bad is imminent. Like, you know, something is about to happen. But every conversation, it just sounds so like, oh, and what's going to happen? Like, I don't know, you're still going to be a famous pop star. I don't know. But see, I want to watch stories. Sounds depressing. I want to watch stories about famous pop tart pop. Famous pop stars. Now we're talking. Cinnamon Swirl is the star and everyone knows it. Wait, I thought of a crazy movie idea or just like someone's nightmare. Imagine you don't want to be famous. Like, it's, you know, like people either want to be famous or they're like, I mean, you can imagine some people, like it's their biggest fear in life is to be famous. And you're born with a twin sister and something happens with your twin sister where she like goes viral or like becomes a famous musician or famous something. And then you're getting recognized everywhere because you look just like her, but you didn't want this life. OK, and then what does they do? They kill each other? I don't know. But it was just sounds like you were like, I wish I had a twin so I could send her to work today, so I didn't have to go. I know exactly what that thought process is. Every Disney movie, every Disney movie was about twins and being like, can you do this meeting for me? It's so funny that you bring that up because for whatever reason, I keep getting on my TikTok these like Australian twin sisters and they're so fucking weird and they do weird things. And I'm like, what video did I watch a little too long that now I get all I get are these people's videos? Anyhow. It's so annoying though. But I do love Australians. No, yeah, I do too. So I want to do this twin video with you because they I'm a monowheard twin algorithm to have like all these sisters where they put you. Why are we on this? Maybe because they think we're twins. No, this is weird. But you ever see with the door and they go on separate sides of the door and they'll be like wave and like they both wave with their right hand. It's like, yeah, they're fucking righties. Of course, they're waving with their right hand. But I feel like they're like, do a peace sign. And they're like, oh, my God, they bolted a peace sign with their right hand. But anyway, I feel like me and you should do that. There's nothing I love more than when my ovulation and cycle switches from that's the cutest video ever to no one fucking cares. What fucking idiots? I also we have the same voting rights. You dumb motherfuckers. I also I like watched if you watch one full like cat saving video where like a cat, a spicy cat gets saved and then you have to watch the whole thing to see her like want to get affection. Your whole feed is cats for like a week. Like I'm in all I have is cats and then I send them to you and Grace and my mom and my nan. So like I just have cat stuff right now. So I can't really help with good content. I apologize to the cat of me again. Sorry, I'm just going to a really going through a really tough time right now. And it's but now whenever I see a beautiful rag doll do a commercial, I'm like becoming Daphne's agent where I'm like competitive. And I go, that's crazy because her nose is literally not as pretty as Daphne's. I'm so hyper aware of the of the cat business. I'm so hyper aware to the cat. Who's your PR? Who does your know? You got that. You know who she signed? You're on IMDB going who she signed with. Does she? The other day, a real sentence came out of my mouth was, does that cat have a lawyer? Does that cat have a lawyer? Speaking of cat, Daphne launched sat or sat in collection, which. Let me just say, our photo shoot was so much fun and I didn't. We didn't release all of the pictures, but it was just the cutest thing. And did you see my little video that I had to? Yes, you did a full. Bits that I'm trying to come up with. Yeah. I feel like that was like, I tried really hard. You were wearing reindeer antlers. I was wearing reindeer antlers. I was wearing my grandma's like vintage coat and then I was wearing these Jimmy Choo. I love how they're like, can you wear Daphne and you're like, I'm going to cover it with the full fur. Well, I knew I wanted that fur in those boots incorporated somehow. And then we have a brown sat and sat and sat that we can't see. No, it was so funny. I was really giggling. Um, also, it's like shot very well. Like you looked gorgeous. Guess who shot it? Josephine. Josephine. We literally were there and we were just like, wait, let's do this really quick. Josephine's a modern date, Quentin Quarantino. Quentin Quarantino is my DJ name. What did you just say? Quentin Quarantino. Quentin Quarantino. You're an ally. You guys, we're so tired. I am so sorry. I want to apologize again. No, here's the thing also every year around this time, I get really, Hanneken attest. I get really snippy. I get really like changing of the guards. I get like you're in, you're out. Yep. Goodbye. There's a few things that in the new year I would like to change with Giggly Squad. And one of them being, I'm not sure recording on a Monday is like the best thing ever. Wait, I just got so scared. I thought you're going to fire me. You go up first step on the docket. Who are you? I'm literally trying to move in with you. Like what? No. Wait, Monday is hard when I'm on tour too. When we tour. It's hard when you're on tour specifically. And also I feel like when I have the most to tell you, it's like a Thursday. I'm like, oh my God, I have so much to tell you. Can I just say, because I have been talking to the higher ups, and by higher ups I mean Grace, we will have some fun things to announce come the new year as a present for the Gigglers. There will be some fun stuff. Nothing, no crazy changes. That just felt so millennial and I actually loved it. Like we're teasing something. We can't say what it is. Like sit there, wonder, guess, swipe up. Yeah, yeah. Old school marketing. No. Bring back radio advertising. I do hate though when people are like, we can't tell you what it is, but I did something great. I'm like, okay, like this just annoyed me so much. Oh yeah. Tell me what it is. We didn't do a good job on it. No. Yeah. Like yeah, I mean, that's literally just what I did. But I'm just letting you guys know that when it's cold and it's the holidays, just no Gigglers squad is coming up with something warm. Also, can I just say everyone's sick and no one's talking about it. OK, part of being a Scorpio and being an Italian and being a witch, like I am superstitious and I don't want to say something, but like you've almost forced me into it. I haven't been sick in years. Mentally or physically? Because the Gigglers. Aside from chronic UTI, which I actually didn't even tell you, I suffered the most chronic UTI. You were in a UTI K-hole. I was in a K-hole. Text me during it saying I have a UTI right now. I took a call from my toilet. I had to go to cameras. I told everyone to open and I'm transparent, if anything. I said, you have no idea what's happening to you right now. Let's get this out before the holidays. Yeah, say what you want about me, but there is a layer that I like to peel back. And you think that you can't handle adversity, like you can't stay at a best Western. You have UTIs. Like I had a UTI once and I like it was the most uncomfortable thing that ever happened to me. No, but I forgot how lovely it is having a UTI when I'm at home with my parents. My mom like literally brought me toast. We're big on toast. You gotta go. There's a theme. Super huge. I love how you got my favorite thing to do. So that I could take my pills so I wouldn't get nauseous. Get a UTI. Get attention. What was I saying before that, though? That you never get sick. You never get sick. Like I mean sick in like flu like symptoms. I've been sick for the whole month. Yeah, I haven't been sick in like a really long time. But I had gone a long time without being sick. You know what it was. You know why you haven't been sick? Why? Because you keep your circle small. It's no, it's so valid. I got sick because love of my life. My opener comic, Ali Colbert, got the flu. She was sick. She got the flu. So honestly, she threw me off and I said, look, if you can't keep up, you gotta get out of the kitchen. That's what they say. And she was like, especially on the road. But then she's like, I can't come next weekend. And I'm like, that's fine because I feel great because I'm unstoppable. And two days later, I'm like, I've been hit by a car. I've been shot. Yeah. And so yeah, Ali got me sick. Shout out Ali. Love your work. And then you just yelled. You just yelled and I heard a dog bark across the hall. I'm not kidding. Dogs are giggly, too. Dogs are giggly, too. Even though this. Wait, I saw a meme that said coming out as a dog cater in 2025 is like coming out of the closet in the 1950s. So we are so brave. We are so brave. Some type of way. Today, I was, I went to this apartment. My friend was and there was a huge bulldog laying on the ground. I don't know if you've ever seen a bulldog in real life. I'm like, what is that? It's not. I'm like, what the fuck is that? Like, that's crazy. Also love them. Well, it's like adorable and like, well, they can't breathe. They can't. So first of all, the only reason I knew it was alive was because it was going. Yeah, because you can hear it a mile away. Your dog has a sinus infection. So do I. And then it started coming towards me. And that's one of these moments where as a cat person, you don't know how to act because it's like someone want to shake your hand and you being like, no, thank you. When I tell you when the dog came towards me, and this is a beautiful, ugly dog, I could smell it. I could smell it before I touched it. The dog. Yes. Because it's when dogs get larger, they just get bigger. And by the way, so cute from afar. And then everyone starts going, oh, he likes you. So then I took like the back of my hand and like barely let it touch the back of my hand. So then you turned into a cat. Anyway, I did make friends with a dog. And then, you know, when you're in an elevator with a dog and they just jump on you and you have to say, thank you. There's certain dog etiquette that people need to talk about. Like imagine if your dog jumped to me and I went. No. OK, so anyway, so in the new year, we're I think we're going to switch our day. I think maybe we'll think about our day switch. And then we have fun things to announce and do. I'm saying it like the years over, but we still have a whole month. We've got a full month. But I'm just like I'm getting in my organizing mode, you know. I'm also going to Omaha, Nebraska for the first time ever in my life next weekend for a show. So I'm kind of excited. I've never like I haven't been to a new place in a long time. The only thing I can ever think of Omaha is Omaha Steaks. That's culture. And when you would watch Kelly and Regis, when you would stay home from school, one of the prizes was a subscription to Omaha Steaks. And if that's not great marketing because it's stuck with me for years, I don't know what is. Regis, what a sweet, sweet old man. RIP Zaddy. And then where I'm going to Iowa and then I'm going to Kansas City and I'm going to Des Moines. That's Iowa. OK, see you never. See you never. You guys, thank you for giggling with us.
