Summary

Hannah and Page reflect on their transformative 2025, discussing personal growth from leaving reality TV, navigating a stalker situation, relationship changes, and their professional achievements including becoming bestselling authors and performing at Radio City. They share holiday experiences, discuss reality TV production dynamics, and offer advice on breakups and personal boundaries.

Insights
  • Leaving reality TV enabled emotional growth and the ability to set boundaries by accepting being misunderstood rather than over-explaining oneself
  • People-pleasing and fear of aftermath can freeze decision-making; taking action creates momentum and reveals that imagined consequences are often worse than reality
  • Reality TV production heavily influences narrative and drama; audiences often mistake produced entertainment for authentic representation of people's character
  • Generational trauma patterns (particularly around gender roles and household dynamics) can be actively interrupted through conscious boundary-setting
  • K-holes (ketamine use) represent a broader trend of drug normalization in social spaces, particularly among younger demographics post-COVID
Trends

It's an awkward time in between Christmas and New Year's where no one knows what to do with their hands. You know one thing I realized, first of all Hannah and I just stared at each other for two minutes and then Hannah goes are you waiting for me and I said you start the pod every week. Why? Anyway you know what I've realized other pods have like seasons. Like thanks so much for this season and we're like what? No other people do like four episodes and they're like see you next season. I'm like wait how what are you guys doing? Don't you go I go crazy like this whole week. This is a lifestyle. I need to stop thinking about this. This is a branded cult that we do every week. I don't care what's going on in our lives but you told me you're like just start the pod and go with it. What do we do? What's happening? I'm scared. Just go with it. Oh like you just want to start the pod. Let's start with how was your Christmas? And we got a great question. It was magical because I blackmailed my brother and his wife to come to New York from Indiana and when I tell you I have no self-control when it comes to being an aunt, Lois realized that she could ask me for presents at any time and she will get it. So she just kept coming up to me looking so fucking cute and being like can I open another present? This is the 22nd by the way. Like this is she's celebrating Hanukkah at this point. Like she just gave me another present so I'm like okay because you know I got her like three million. She's like what's her what's for Kwanzaa? Why? Every time she went up to me she was like wouldn't it be crazy if you gave me if you gave me another present like right now would that be crazy and I'm just like yeah don't and then my brother found out I've been giving her presents. He's like that's literally ruining the whole thing but when I went shopping for a three-year-old it's so fun because I went into a toy store and the guy was like do they exist? What toy store? I went to one in West Hampton and I walked in and the guy was like hey how are you and I said good he goes age and and interest and I said good question. Three years old mermaids sparkles purple if there's no sparkle she gets very upset and he goes okay we got this this this like literally recommending it like an influencer he's like this is amazing the kids are loving this. No bring back mom and pop toy stores like I yes support the small communities. You can't even really find good toys online. I do have to say it's so much more fulfilling going into a store looking at all the toys touching them shaking them listening to them and being like she's gonna lose her mind at this. Some toys some toys are uniquely complicated I got her this like manicure set couldn't figure out how to do it she figured it out she said Hannah you're a quitter you have to stop quitting. So I just had so much fun being the aunt that was spoiling her little nieces and nephews. Christmas is so much better when there's little kids around you know when there's no little kids it's kind of creepy. It's low key creepy this was the first year this was the first year my brother left on Christmas day and went to like his girlfriend's family and like traveled. I'm so sorry it's really traumatic that's traumatic. No Hannah was actually so traumatic I like looked at my parents and I was like so what should we do? No when you're the lone one left you're just like how y'all doing? It's also there's something about like when I go home I cannot be 16 years old like it's actually so annoying like I get so mad at myself but it's like right when I go over the threshold I immediately turn into a brat I do nothing okay like I bring home my vitamins I bring my skincare I don't even do that because I'm like what is time when is dinner like. There was a tiktok by that guy Brett Neustrom who's so funny and he was joking about that and how you're just like mom can I have like some water and she's like you can get it and it's like no I'm sitting on the couch right now and I have a blanket on me I can't get up. No I literally was like dad would it be crazy if you poured me a diet coke on ice like that was all I said the whole time. You're literally lowest to me wouldn't it be crazy and my mom like my mom saw one quote and so like wouldn't stop saying it the entire fucking holiday she was like every holiday is unique and you have to cherish every holiday because it's unique and I was like I went up fucking killing you. That's what Marilyn Monroe said thank you Kim for raising awareness of joy. Me and my mom both got each other sentimental gifts this year which I just felt like it was very like we were so telepathic because usually her and I are the ones that will like get each other like some type of clothes thing like I usually get her a coat or like a pair of boots or something and she has this like joke with me that like every mom gets a robe like oh like everyone lists like all their presents I think it was like an SNL skit at some point like everyone's like I gotta watch I got this and blah blah blah and every mom's like I got a robe so I always get her a robe every year so I get her a robe every year and then she had one of my grandma's antique chairs that I love reupholstered into like baby blue velvet which is my favorite oh my god it was so sweet and then I got her a picture of her and I as you should like blown up like from photo shoot she was like where am I putting this I'm like in the foyer it's a cardboard cutout of you just all over the house it's a family photo of the two most important family members I do have to say as feminists what I love to do during the holiday season to like be at the forefront of feminism is any traditional roles that women play in the household especially a female family um Italian family yeah excuse me like when I um when we're all finished eating and you know the women just naturally stand up and start picking up the plates yeah I stay sad wow and I look at I look at the men I said can you take my plate please and then if I get any pushback I said I own this house as someone as someone who doesn't live in a feminist household at all by the way my mom did everything but continue no I literally I'm trying to change generational trauma I'm I'm so right there with you I'm 33 years old I'm still not even allowed to wash the dishes I can only dry so that is my job at every family gathering page dries all the dishes I don't think it matters like if you bought something or not however like Thanksgiving once like I bought all the catering and I was like I'm not cleaning up after I bought the catering it's like I'm fine if you guys are like oh we bought it so you guys clean up then we're gonna reverse it also I do have to say my mom my dad do have a very very they are they are a good team so my mom will cook and he's immediately cleaning now that's a test of a marriage because like they're incredible my mom always toast and I'll always catch my dad and just her and my dad like in the kitchen like they don't know anyone's listening and I'll always catch my dad be like good job Kim you did a really good job this year like and I'm like oh my god that is so sweet she's like you think so oh thanks that's so nice is it's scary seeing you're good at getting Kim gifts that you know okay because now my dad is famously the worst gift giver to my mom she literally is like just get me something from a spot just get me a massage get me a facial that's all I need and he goes to places and gets convinced by the salesperson that he needs to buy something they don't know my mom today this this one he bought her like a corduroy jacket and she was like why the fuck she isn't cursed but that's what she was saying with her eyes why the fuck would you think I want this curse she's not big on the first bump she's she says it with her eyes and we all just start laughing because again like men buying women clothes is such a risk and he like keeps doing it and we keep saying don't do that unless it's something sentimental get her a classic like spa certificate yeah that's such an easy one it is I don't know why for whatever this year I don't know maybe it's because we're getting older or if it was just like in social media this year I really feel like there was such an emphasis on like Christmas magic is just your mom like it's like oh this year doesn't have Christmas magic and it's like okay well that's because you're in your 20s and your mom is older like it's and it's such a crazy shift to think like yeah but that age group where you don't have little kids when it's just you and like no one is excited really about Santa you wake up really uh Santa ha ha it's it's an awkward age I will say this year I have had like the same mattress in my bedroom at home since I was in like high school like it's just like I needed a new mattress so I was like you know what mom like I'm gonna order a new mattress I'm gonna order just like I needed a new bed frame I'm just gonna like slowly kind of like redo that room and like nothing crazy I'm not like going in and like total I'm just I just got a new bed and she like came up to me and said something like oh well when you have a baby and I immediately was like a baby like that baby's not going in my room the baby's taking your room I'm like this is my room like what baby and she's like I mean it is so cute that she's very drawing she's kept your room exactly the same because a lot of parents they turn it into you know a little gym a work room you know I go home too much to like not have a room and I would feel so I would feel so violated as we learned a couple weeks ago my nana never had a room but I digress I digress I digress um I do have to say I did pretty good with Dez's GIFs which I've had some rough goes in the past but he's he's like obsessed with severance and I saw on Amazon there's the book um the you you are which is like the book from the show okay and so I literally bought him the book so he's like a nerd and he thought that was funny wait that's so sweet if anyone ever got me a book I'd be fucking livid unless it's a how to giggle but I was giving how to giggle out to everyone they're like I already bought it and I'm like here's a how to giggle um but then also he doesn't drink and we went to his restaurant once basically non-alcoholic drinks are becoming like very cool like a sparkling tea like a Norwegian whatever and he said he liked it and I wrote it down like a good girlfriend because he's my boyfriend and I got him the sparkling tea and you would have thought it was like he was gonna rage that night so he was like chugging his sparkling tea reading the book I actually one of my cousins told me this year at Christmas dinner she was like I just found out that I'm like allergic to alcohol and I was like wait I should go get tested for that because I love getting tested for things I love getting tested for things no I love getting tested for things oh update on my UTI I got no hannah you have no idea how many screenshots I have of DMs first of all it's astonishing I'm getting them it's astonishing the amount of giglers that are doctors I know it's actually worrisome it's quite worrisome I'm like wait and you listen to me bitch you're so much smarter than me I have so many screenshots of what giglers have said to me that I because I was like I'm never gonna be able to find these DMs again I have to screenshot all of them yeah a bunch of girls were like hey urologist is great but that's really for men you need to write I'm like what you're so mad right now I was so mad and they were like you need to go to a urologist gynecologist I didn't even know that was a fucking thing so I was like oh okay then I'm not going to a urologist wasting my time and his I need to find a urologist gynecologist isn't that just a gynecologist oh no no she's no they specialize in like urology gynecologist yes well I keep getting DMs and it's like please send this to page and at first I'm like do I have to and then I'm like what if this is the advice that changes her life so I keep guilt we're so dramatic I texted you one I was like I think this is it and you were like calm down I was like what if the answer is in my DMs and I didn't forward it to you this you are Lenore you're literally slowly turning into Lenore I don't want that kind of karma like I don't need that that's actually so cute wait I I also have a new egg like this is the craziest egg I've ever gotten the fact that his parents made him no I have an egg that's disgusting wait okay okay that's like a little broad that's a little broad but like you're saying like him as a child no like that he was like a sperm and then it was like they they literally don't be conceived hooked up that's so if you're a guy don't be like he was nothing and then his parents made him like he wouldn't be here if his parents didn't have sex like that's disgusting I have been seeing I saw a lot of people getting engaged like on Christmas like on TikTok like people that like and here's the other thing half the time I don't know if it's a skit or not but the only time I'm literally 95 years old I have to go in the comments I'm like is this a skit the amount of women I've seen proposing to met I was like this has to be a skit there's just no way there was one comment it was and it was like girl stand up because she was like she was kneeling down proposing and this girl was just the comment was just girl stand up I was like what's going on that is insane but I wonder like if it's super traditional like he's gonna take care of the household and he like maybe she's even if they say they are do they I know they're not gonna do it as well as like someone else like they don't have the heart no you gotta have a heart to like I just like I couldn't imagine ever well because I wouldn't ever wonder like what do you have proposed to me well yeah and I can't imagine as a man being like comfortable getting proposed too like she literally just called you a beta bitch without saying saying you were gonna say beta blocker no I would need a beta blocker if someone said you have to propose I'd be like what it I did see one of those videos and it was front of the whole family yeah I did was probably the one I saw maybe it was a lavender marriage you just can't judge you don't know people's dynamics these days I'm all about quality over quantity especially in my closet if it's not well made and versatile and just not worth it to me then I'm not getting it and that's why I love quints their fabrics feel elevated their cuts are thoughtful and their pricing actually makes

soup without a yes right pop into tropical smoothie cafe and try the new trappy boba bowls before they're gone they're only here for a limited time so grab the mango or berry trappy boba bowl at

have the chance to take home for good this time I love ebay to find all the fashion collectibles and unique pieces that I know will mean something to me my nana ended up giving one of her bags to my

and conditions apply see offer page for details I was thinking about how last year this exact episode is the episode where it's just crazy how things change in a year I know before we recorded this episode I was like oh my god last year at this time I was probably like shaking had to take a beta because I was about to say that like I broke up like I'm going through a breakup and it was this episode and I'm literally I was like in my childhood bedroom which is where I recorded it and I was thinking about it again this year when I was home for Christmas and I was like first of all how dramatic how dramatic you were not being dramatic it was the time but it's just crazy like you think of things and you're like oh my god that was a year ago and I feel so insanely different like obviously from a whole year and I feel like I get like so many DMs from girls like I'm going through a breakup like how how do you go through a breakup and I also get a lot of girls like in my DMs being like I think I should break up with my boyfriend but I don't know if it's the right time like how do you know if it's right or not but you've become the breakup artist I'm like guys I have no freaking idea if you feel the need to DM page to ask her about your boyfriend it's break up with him it's done honestly that Hannah if you click on her profile that means you should break up with him you say like I'm gonna just see what page thinks real quick you don't want to do him anymore you hate him he's gay and so I like I get so many girls and I feel like one of the reason for me I was always thinking about like the aftermath like oh my god what's gonna happen after what are people gonna say like blah blah blah and I feel like that like made me freeze like I was frozen for so long with the fear of that and it's such a waste of time because one nothing could even happen or I mean I couldn't have cooked up in my head what happened this year so it's like don't let that it was 10 times worse on what I was imagining okay so don't even worry about it's gonna be way worse just pull the trigger but it's pull the triggers right you were in fight or flight but you weren't fighting and you weren't fighting you were just like you were stuck and the truth is is moving is the best thing you could do because then there'll be a different issue at least no then there will be a different issue don't get stuck with the same issue that's boring I might as well have seen rumors that I was a drug dealer I was like I can make that more plausible than what you're saying currently move the plotline of your life keep moving it I always felt though like once I was over a guy I felt like I was I was gonna throw up like yeah and every time I talked to him I felt like I was about to say like I don't want to be with you anymore so like you were much better at you're like a cat actually where they say a cat can be really sick but they won't show it and no one knows that they're sick where a dog will be like yeah shitting everywhere yeah so that's me where I'm I literally I'm like I don't care what's on the other side it'll be at least it'll be different than what I'm feeling now which is not sustainable where you're like I think I can manage this for right a couple years and I feel like it also forced me into like this year I really feel like I was forced into learning the lesson of like let people be wrong about you which is uncomfortable and like frustrating which I hate but I feel like because I was on reality tv I could never learn that like I couldn't let people be wrong about me because it was like I was getting asked about it all the time and it was like so like now when I see anything about myself and it's like an uncomfortable feeling of like okay well that's not true or like what the hell is that it's more like being comfortable being like okay well you're like wrong about me and I feel like this summer was the first summer in seven years that I didn't have anyone being like what are what's every thought you're having and tell us everything and what's going on and so it was just like a very transformative year in that sense even and then even to the point of like when I did start seeing someone I felt like I couldn't even say anything because it was like I had a group of ops like filming a tv show and I'll like I obviously wasn't telling them any personal information about my life because like when people are so committed no seriously when people are so committed to hating you they're full-time job they're full-time you're like okay well I can't even give an ounce of personal information because you'll run with it and twist it and change it and it's like so crazy so I don't talk about my relationship except yeah on Giggly Squad the little things that I feel like Gigglers will laugh at it was yeah it was just like such an interesting year because I feel like we did so many things professionally which were amazing and then personally I was just like I felt like I was really learning like a lot of lessons that I wouldn't have been able to learn and complete without leaving reality tv oof which is crazy so reflective I'm obsessed with that well even just like getting into a summer where you're like wait a minute I don't have to spill my guts or if you don't spill everything you're considered like evil yeah if you want to protect yourself at all you're like right bad person right and if you don't like explain everything or like talk about every single rumor it's like okay but then I'm giving people who are making things up about me control like I'm not no like fuck that say whatever you want about me I don't give a shit I think you got to the point with reality tv where they just force you to have opinions on so many things that you regularly would not have opinions on and you get you're just like I don't want to talk about other people's lives to this extent yeah there was like a certain amount of emotional growth that I was like I I don't think I'm feeling things that I should be feeling at at my age do you know what I mean so true so true like I still mentally felt in my 20s and I was like I'm turning 33 like well you're you're stuck in something you're stuck in another you're stuck in a storyline yes honey and I was like okay gotta go I I do kind of love though you saying like being okay with being misunderstood as a people pleaser that was really hard for me but I think you realize oh people are gonna go out of their way to misunderstand you yeah and no matter how hard you try so it's like do you want to have a losing battle with people who like you could literally be mother Teresa and they'll be like I don't like how she did that yeah and so it's like do you want to have your whole life be you trying to it's like with friends trying to get people to like you who decided before they met you they don't like you right and it's like the over explaining and I really was thinking about it too because I'm like I'm sure a lot of people feel like this around the holidays when they're with their families like having to over explain who you're dating what your job is like just different things and that's what like really made me think about it and I was just like no like be wrong about me and I feel like that is like a part of growing up like you don't have to explain every single thing and you don't have to like make people like you don't have to tell people why they should like you that it's none of your business you know I mean mine was also a little different because that there was like rumors that were just like categorically false but I was like fuck it I don't give a shit it's very violating feeling and I think everyone's dealt with like rumors and stuff about them but it always stems from something that doesn't have to do with you is what I've learned literally literally it's always people projecting their shit on you and you represent something to them which as two people who don't shut up like we do we are we get in the firing squad every now and then I mean yeah like this last year I had tons of ups and downs I have to say there was something about your notes like we all write a lot of notes yeah do you ever accidentally like scroll down to your notes from like 2017 and I literally had like a list of funny videos I wanted to make and like in that moment no I almost cried because I was like I'm looking at these videos and I'm like I was just so excited to try to make people laugh I didn't know what the fuck was about to happen in my life like when we started Giggly Squad pre gig pre summer house you're saying personally oh okay sorry yeah but if you look my notes like literally are my journal my notes on my phone where you see like the stuff I was brainstorming the stuff that I was just like doing during the week just any weird numbers but it was it's so interesting to scroll through your notes app also a little up a big life update for me maybe my second biggest of the year the first one was the driver's license I went to Verizon yesterday and I got off the family plan no I know it took an hour it took a full hour of customer service my hands were sweating if you guys know me I hate admin Dez literally was like put me in Dez on a plan so no I know and I was like he's not my emergency contact they were like no no no I said okay just just checking just checking but my my parents I was still my parents plan because it's like so difficult to get off it yeah and my dad was just like I guess like billing me each month skimming some off the top who knows yeah yeah who knows who knows and so finally I'm off it Dez and I are on a family plan together now so like it's kind of sweet I actually think that's more serious than emergency contact are you still on your family plan sure I am yeah okay I I felt like I'm gonna start a family plan with myself you and Daphne you could join ours if you want I don't know if that's legal actually but it was I don't know I wait do you have to actually be in the same family to have a family plan I'm like that's my best friend right like that's as family that's yeah like how would you prove it just be like oh well she has a different last name because she got married they didn't even ask for like yeah that's so one that's so interesting very interesting I don't know the technicalities but like doesn't I literally physically went to a Verizon store I took a deep breath and I was like fuck me up fam and I survived it and I got the new I had an iPhone 13 now I have an iPhone 17 how things have changed yeah it's really good it is I just took like a photo of my cat so far but it was really really good photo and finally I learned it actually does work if you download shows before you go on a plane I thought you made that up wow 2026 is like my friends are realizing things I thought that you just said that so you didn't have to talk to me on the plane no that's like a real thing it really works and I watched Mormon wives well I I'm in the Whitney lore and I want to see what was going on it can I talk shit yeah sure since we're getting into it whenever you see a drama of someone not showing up to a party it's so fucking produced I can't deal with it yeah the fact that you know Whitney was like oh I'm not really close to Taylor anymore also she spread a lot of rumors about me obviously the producers made it really chill with Whitney like yeah you don't have to go yeah you know that they weren't like this is a huge deal everyone's gonna be mad they definitely were like yeah some people aren't coming you don't have to go I know you're mad at Taylor you don't have to and she was like sure okay I have a family I'll watch them today and then all the girls show up and then they make the mom call Whitney and when he's like I've never talked to her on the phone before at all like it's so fucking made up the mom's like doesn't even know who it is and she's like how could you not come to like it's literally so made up and then all the girls are like where's Whitney where's Whitney I'm like this should win an Oscar this is amazing and the fact that America turned on her starting on that yeah okay sometimes I will be watching a reality tv show and I'm like shoot we make fun of the men so bad for watching the wwe when in reality sometimes the thing we're watching the girl version of wwe sometimes by the way I fully support reality tv I don't support people watching a show and like believing that a person is that evil yeah as they're trying to know like no and that everyone else is like god is angels and one person is like evil just like putting fire on everyone so anyway that's my two cents about that um what have you been what oh what oh I was gonna say one more thing that I forgot to say that yeah wanted to say since I feel like this is our new thing like every December right before new years we just have like an unhinged episode so something else happened to me during the year that I couldn't say in like real time but I think it's like it's not funny but it's like there is part that is funny so I was dealing with like a stalker situation like nothing really crazy but also like kind of had to get like people involved to the point where at some point I had to go into a police station so I'm walking no no I'm so Hannah the admin I got a text message and it was like I think it's time for you to file a police report and I go file a police war does that what they'd be like what's your full name and I'm like I can't do this I can't do this what's your date of birth I don't know so I don't even think I told you this story so I'm walking to the police station and like I'm nervous I'm like going over like the story in my head I'm like okay and I have to show them this and this and this and blah blah blah and so I walk in there and I'm thinking like straight svu papers are gonna be flying phones gonna be bringing off the hook someone's gonna be in handcuffs like yelling and I'm like bracing myself a police siren's gonna go off something's happening in there yeah I opened the door you could hear a pin drop nobody's even in there there was maybe like two people in the back I go up to the window like up to the lady I like tell her my whole story and she like looks at me and she's like yeah um we'll keep like basically like you're being dramatic we'll keep an eye on it type thing but in my head all it for here's the other thing all I wanted to do was tell the giglers but I was like this is just like not safe like it's obviously like under control now and I like have a handle on the situation but the way that the movies and tv shows I actually left pissed I was like okay so it's it's not like svu at all you have to start watching documentaries girl because no one listens to anyone no one no one's listening anything and everything is done wrong I was like I feel like you're not taking this seriously I like really told my story I was like no but listen to this part or people will file reports about like honestly serious things and no one will like flag it like this could escalate I'm gonna be honest the best like my doorman my doorman in my building like I was like told them the whole story told like the police situation printed out a picture of the person like hung it up in the wall like anytime I like had to leave they would like walk me out look both ways one time one of my doorman got in my uber and said let me see your face because I was nervous that the person that was well my mom got me nervous that the person that was stalking me was going to sign up for uber and then become a uber driver we got into a real spiral cup like a while ago a couple months ago but anyway I was been like dying to tell this on the pod but I like I legitimately couldn't so anyway stay safe out there you resolved it you got a guy to resolve it on yeah I got it essentially it's taken care about we're not gonna we're not gonna yeah but look at the NYPD was busy took situation into my own hands we're all good no one's gonna be bothering me for a while I got a friend in Sicily that you know deals with this stuff he's he's specialized in it so watch your fucking back well I'm really really really really sorry that you had to go through that thank you no it was honestly like a transformative year I feel so I just feel like we had the best year yeah no totally and I think the year wasn't like easy it had a ton of ups and downs but I feel like we were we're more equipped to deal with adversity we became year-in-times bestselling authors I totally forgot no I literally forgot like I was looking back in my pictures and I was like oh my god yeah me and Hannah played at Radio City in January I do have to say I think it's a little annoying on my feed when people are like best moments of 255 and then they post like I did this I did this I did this I did this I posted one of those no you posted best outfits on TikTok I posted best moments of okay everything I did because page you want to know what though mine is outfit focused I'm showing all those no oh so you give me a pass other people are bragging I'm saying I don't like when people are like super super braggie no other people brag about it I don't I'm just you just used it as a you used it as a vehicle to show your outfits through video because I just feel like it could make people feel bad because I'm like it's just also like a lot of these people accomplish a lot of things but like they were miserable the whole time I just want to raise awareness about that where you have like you know like yes like was I having like I just feel like sometimes that's so true and I feel like that is why I love Giggly Squad because after we do no because like okay after we did Jimmy Fallon anyone could have looked at those pictures and been like amazing little did they know we almost passed out behind the curtain like prior to so like yeah there's a lot of things that you do that are cool that I'm like I almost died 100% so when you're seeing other people's year in review I almost posted a funny one that was like I grew up my nails like Guinness Breaker World Records like long with the gel still on that was pretty crazy but like driver's license is honestly like my biggest that was a really big accomplishment I just speaking of accomplishments I saw this actually I don't even know if it's real oh my god I literally I can't even go on the you did send me an AI cat thing yeah well that I knew was fake okay I saw this thing that um it was like a story about Michelle and Barack Obama and it said oh I wrote that down too we both had the same note for the first time ever that Barack Obama said to Michelle that he ran into her like high school or college boyfriend and he's a what was his job he's a doctor and he Barack said to Michelle you would have been a doctor's wife and she turned around and said no he would have been the president and I thought oh that is I have chills she would have been the president's wife oh that is so just like it's so true though like that's why all the men are trying to marry us because men know they need us to like there's so many men that I'm like if he had a girlfriend he would have his shit so much more together so together also men with the woman name a man you've been inspired by your name a man you've been inspired by recently um name an inspirational man and what a good segue did you go to the cottage of of course where'd you watch it the year of the cottage in my bedroom at home and at my parents house and I was texting one of my friends who is a gay man and we were just like chit chatting about the show and he said page I don't think you're understanding because this came out during Christmas break there's so many gay men who are home watching this in their childhood bedrooms which is the first place that they had these first thoughts of like I'm gay watching gay porn and he was like and so to watch a television show in my childhood bedroom that is like this he was like I just like can't explain it to you and that I was like oh my god like obviously I didn't think of that but like it really changed my whole perspective we still come from the generation of guys who like had to come out yes like obviously the gen z's and the gen alphas have to come out but it's it's more like it's easier like guys our age were there was like very few guys who were out in high school right wait did you see on tiktok the straight men who used to play hockey they have a podcast I want to say it's like the net netters something I'll look it up two straight men ex-nhl players watched every episode and like reviewed it and it was so like refreshing to see because they were like genuinely talking about the plot and they were like I'm obsessed with him like they've got to get together and it was like no this is how it should be talked about by straight men what I'm obsessed with with he did rivalry two is that they also happened to be the best players in the league the guy who won the cup the two other guys they're all the best players so it's almost like I don't know I wonder if more athletes are gonna come out like this is fucking huge no I really think it is like such a cultural I better see some fucking men making out at the end of the Super Bowl or I'm gonna be pissed wouldn't that be nice I want to see some helmets clanking no I want the men to do something like do something crazy

and grab a 250 gift card as a thank you terms and conditions apply see offer page for details i do have to admit i did go through like a depression because i decided to watch all of season one of euphoria in like two days and i was alone in the house that is so not even a you show what did you think no and i forced myself i feel like the filmography is that a word filmography was cool like it was like well done um it gives like a 24 like yes like and i appreciate art but also like i don't care about drugs and i don't care about kids in high school so but i do think it was zendaya i care about i care about both of those things like i literally really go i'm doing drugs i'm like i nothing i love more than a teeny bopper freaking high school show and if one of them dies in it oh even better no fuck yeah it also gives me like you just remember high school and you remember being like i just feel bad for myself because it's like there's no way you can understand what's going on or get control of the situation but you're trying so hard to like understand who you are and like the social i think euphoria is like a bit extreme i i highly doubt that is the norm there's no way that's like the norm of high school kids have you watched tell me lies no that's on my list but again another one that i'm a little scared of because the third season is coming out that's why i watch you for it because the third season um also i am in a k-hole with great british baking show it just like threw me off that you said k-hole because i was like my first one was like does she actually know what that is do you know what that is no but i i felt right it felt right i envision a k-hole is like you get really high and you just see a bunch of k's do you know like i think one of the main reasons why i'm like not scared to get older is because even though we're like a similar age you'll always feel older to me because you don't know that people are age no wait i love that you're like i'm not afraid to be older because you'll always be older than me and i can always be like at least on my hand is age by the way guys one year it's one year um also i've been hanging out like i want to couple like coffee dates with this girl who's like 30 31 and she looks at me and she goes it's so nice to have an older friend no like i actually almost threw up for i was like what you're talking about she's like no no like all my friends are like in their 20s and it's just nice to be with someone who's like no all my friends aren't dead until like what like i oh my god no when did i become like i'm not someone's wise friend like i'm young fun no i know um oh also wait wait what did you say you were in a k-hole from great british bake baking show oh wait wait wait wait wait which haven't you watched yeah it's really good it's like at the end of the day like after watching euphoria for so long i don't know that makes a lot of sense it's like when you date a really horrible man and then immediately you have to date like the nicest guy on the planet and he's like way too nice but you're like i just need this for like six months just let me have this so i've just been hearing people talk about puddings and loaves and you know it really gets your mind right and because then you're like nothing's a big deal it's like we help each other like someone's like isn't that isn't that amazing someone's relay a cake is falling and someone's like oh can i help you there like oh of course it's so nice um speaking of tv so page and i got asked to do this end of the year thing for abc year review which was giving me like ptsd confessional style yes and you're so and it was before i got my veneer which i'm like really annoyed about but anyway well the clips came out and i have i have a note you your angle is my good side and my angle and by the way we're solo right angle is my bad side where no my angle was my angle was what you wanted and your angle was what i wanted no i know yeah what do we do i don't tell them not to play it i guess i like didn't realize it was happening as we were filming it but i think the funniest thing about this was that me and hannah got asked to do this together but we were filming on separate days because of like whatever schedule stuff and the night before hannah i texted hannah and i go what are you wearing to the abc thing and she's like you in your heart and she was like i don't i don't know and i was like great again like you always do this so then i pick out my outfit and i'm like this is what i'm wearing it's like waste stuff and i was like and then i have glam and hannah goes i'm not getting glam i go hannah it's on abc news prime close up of your face it's a close up you're getting of your bad side you're getting your hair and makeup professionally done i don't know something comes over me sometimes when i'm just like i'm gonna save four hours of my life and not do glam i said we sent the kardash answer no well do you want to know what because sometimes like when we do something we're doing it like in the moment but it's not being released to the world for months and months so you genuinely forget about it and so like everyone has a day where you're like i'm so tired like i don't want to do my hair where you're like i'll throw it up in a bun except if we do that then six months later people are like can you believe that's what she wore that stupid cunt you're like holy fuck it was i had a day that day i think i was coming home from like a six state tour yeah of like seven shows and it was like monday morning and i was like i'd rather get three more hours of sleep and answer the questions well but you were like my mom at that moment you said i don't look at me look at me i don't care you're getting you're glam done you're not embarrassing the family the difference between you and other people as you work harder show it do it this is not how we are oh god so that's gonna air tonight which is fun i don't know how much they're actually gonna put of us talking i feel like you're really good with one liner so you should have a bunch i might have been cut you know we still haven't gotten our wish of like doing a confessional together like for how many every years we were on reality tv and we asked every single year hey we think it'd be funny if you gave us a confessional together who's gonna give us a confessional together i think this podcast is our confessional together like this is what we had to do oh right to get it um yeah that's all did you hear the drama um about the michigan coach the one that she did on his wife yeah with the girl that worked there and then went to her house and said he was gonna like burn it down that one yeah yeah i feel like there's been a lot of sport stuff happening like then there was a coach that switched teams in the middle of the night and i kept thinking that really me in the middle of the night and was that a saying okay stanah what are you talking about middle well i feel like my tiktok sometimes like if you watch one fucking video then all of the sudden you get all these videos so i'm getting the videos about the michigan guy cheating on his wife it's videos of him like walking out of the tunnel with the mistress then i'm getting videos of another guy who changed teams in the middle of the season and they kept being like he changed teams in the middle of the night and i'm like actually or is that a figure of speech he just showed up at the new team at four a.m like you up um so yeah the coaches needed to get it together but it is funny they put these coaches on a pedestal i remember even like wisconsin the football coach like he was like the god of the school the football coach yeah a lot of them are just like horny creeps sorry i said it sorry i said it well yeah it's just like they could hook up with the girls on campus because they're like powerful if they wanted to you know what's crazy though is that we ever get that like women are so emotional it's like dude you could have just gotten fired gotten a divorce gotten a new job later now you have to go to jail like what yeah that escalated so quickly when like you could have just like called your mom talked it out came up with a solution let's like we all went through a sadden return and didn't go to jail it's possible do men go through sadden returns wait when do you think mine was i i think that mine was when do you think mine was um during the time that you were having panic attacks on stage for a full year that was your sadden return babe i think i was i think i had had it prior to that because everyone you had it when you're 27 you didn't listen to your sadden return like you didn't make the moves you were supposed to i think mine was like during covid and i was just like sorry i don't have the time and they were like no bitch you're gonna make the time oh so you think mine was that tour was so transformative for us for me specifically but also we loved it no i loved it we loved everyone no there's still so much coming from it like we haven't even even the good stuff that happened we haven't even said yet i haven't even processed it i really i do have to say also i'm very busy on my phone right now because so many people in my life have adopted cats and you know i love sending cat memes but i don't send the same cat memes to everyone because not every cat meme is equal right like seara gets different ones than i get yes seara is your orange cat crazy how do you speak to your your cat who's naughty and then grace gets all the tuxedo cats and then you get all the fluffy beautiful cats or this static cats so i always have like glitter yes glitter cats and smoking a seg i am in a k-hole of organizing cat memes there's so many layers my mom it's about having three cats if you had to take if you had to take just a wild guess on what a k-hole is can you give us like just a just a one sentence like what you think it is i think it's when you take like lsd and you get so high that you you're just like spiraling and you like you like murder a family or something kind of you pull a michigan coach i think he was in a k-hole it's basically you take ketamine which is a horse tranquilizer and then you're yeah so wait horses are just out here taking getting k-holes all the time well no they're taking it for like medical reasons okay and then people take it because it obviously is more potent because we're much smaller than a freaking horse i love when you turn to a doctor and because i've watched so many people fall into a k-hole where i'm like are you okay in real life yes and so they'll take it and then you literally can't move here's the thing when i was in my 20s when i was in my 20s i like after covid and i went out again like to the bars and the clubs i saw people doing drugs and they were doing ketamine and i was like i must be so old in the scene because what the fuck do you mean what do you yeah i don't even know how you would do it i don't want to know how you would do it i'm like how are you standing my biggest fear is like doing a drug and then not being able to move while like that's exactly what this drug is someone's talking to you and i'm literally paralyzing yourself but you're like yeah you would hate it i always felt i that's why i would have pank attacks on weed because like i i would be watching myself embarrassing myself like i'm watching other people watch me and watch myself being embarrassed and i'm like this is like i'm already two in my head um anyway okay what's your next k-hole we were redefining it oh um it's really it's your knowledge i did get in a brief k-hole because um i read a comment accident accidentally that was mean about me and it's very unique oh it kind of made me laugh it was one of those someone said the back of my head is flatter than kansas i didn't know the back you know the back of my head is none of my business do i have a flat back of my head well it's on the side so i can't really see put your hand down it well now go down down down is it like does it curve on in i don't know but like i have a flat head maybe no i have a very maybe my hair was flat in the back i don't know a man said it so i was like wait that is like really specific i get the most specific random things my knees the back of my head but also things that i'm like okay good one like see i just get like my character you know like like you're an evil person in the i also want to let you know in the new year i realize i i am a little bit of a germaphobe with some things there's one thing i'm a huge germaphobe about i would never ever buy a neck cushion from a Hudson news in an airport because all people do when they walk in the first thing you do it's the rule you have to squeeze the neck cushion that neck cushion has been squeezed by so many dirty little fingers you're so right like i think the toilet is cleaner i think i've bought so many too i hate him so much right now i don't have one right now currently and i haven't used one in years but like in my lifetime i've probably bought about seven eight yeah like thank you for raising awareness though but you turned out okay it could be the reason for your utis though wait you know how everyone's getting you know how everyone's getting sick right now like everyone has the flu yeah i was like wait i literally don't leave my house i'm like wow everyone's dropping like flies and i'm like i wonder why i'm not getting sick and i'm like oh i haven't interacted with another person in two months you're literally quarantining yourself literally i'm kind of obsessed with you being in a class action lawsuit for buying an airport an airport neck cushion is your you're you get a utis every day and you possibly bought a neck cushion from once i go to my urologist gynecologist it is over for you bitches no i can't um final thought leonardo de caprio never saw the titanic i saw that with jennifer lorenz petition for jennifer lorenz to just be a red carpet correspondent for sure she yeah she was doing serious journalism work when she leonardo doesn't talk to press when um when she said oh she made fun of him like dating no when she was with all the women and she was like what color does this sound like because what's her name said oh i see color when i like wouldn't singing and she just goes what color is that yeah just a theory vote well people forget that before jennifer lorenz was accused of being the most annoying person in the world she was the most charming person in the world and very funny but it's a thin line with women it's a thin line the people tried to an hathaway her and it's like not on my watch not on my watch if any of you guys had a bad year just remember that an hathaway and jennifer lorenz were stoned yeah people tried to say they were annoying now they're back in action so if they could recover from that you can recover from whatever you went through this last year so true the other side is just so much better you gotta go through some shit you just have to buckle down and like nothing good lasts and nothing bad lasts oh my god you're so and when people can't mess with your character they come for your reputation and just remember that one that's my 2026 and i do have to say any horrible things you guys went through in 2025 i guarantee it made you funnier and more interesting at parties i've told that stalker story the stalker's like tag me at least good some credit right stalker's like okay so you are home like what okay so you're obsessed with me you're stalking me at this point if you say my name one more time this is so it's so dark i'm like okay i'm coming he's on his way so i actually have to go also they only mentioned me like once in one the letters i was kind of i was like i'm kind of a big part of her life oh my stalker referred to hannah but literally in one text and so i'm like screenshotting sending to hannah and she's like was that it about me and i'm like okay i'm literally just threatened my life and you're like so i was like if you're hanging out with
