Key takeaways

  • In fashion, risk is the currency; visionary choices can either crown you or cause a social stir.
  • Silence speaks volumes in the digital age; your lack of comment can escalate internet drama exponentially.
  • Supporting small designers is chic, but don't forget: taste is subjective and social media is a battleground.
  • Every outfit tells a story, but sometimes that narrative can become a meme before you even hit 'post'.
  • Groupthink thrives online; jump on a trend and the mob will either elevate or annihilate your fashion choices.

You know we're making art here. Sup gigglers. Gary, fix the Wi-Fi. Manifest that [ __ ]

We can't be managed. I mean, the day just got away from me. Hello, my grateful gigglers.

It is the month of gratitude. Yep. Timely. Timely. Being in the present. Being in the present. Thinking every stuff. thinking about stuff and just

there's been some drama. I had a good run. I had a really good run with my fashion choices. People started to say that I was a visionary.

You're not afraid to be herself. I'm afraid to be myself. She takes a risk. She a good risk taker. Like she takes risk, but we love her.

Whatever. She's not like everyone else. She like does her own thing. I saw a lot of that.

And I wore a dress at the Teen Vogue party. No, I'm just kidding. It was L Women in Hollywood a party

and I posted it and I think Teen Vogue went out. No, I think 17 went out. Anyway, one of them.

One of them [snorts] is dead except for how to giggle which you can get any story about.

You guys, we have so many stories today. But um yeah, I wore this dress and the gigglers were the nation was divided. Um, oh, you wouldn't even say

I I was actually gonna say I think it was unanimous. It was Here's my question. Here's my question.

You didn't comment, did you? Which that's how you know it's bad. Oh my gosh. Ah, looking through. No page comments.

But you know what Paige is doing. She's scrolling. I'm collecting my thoughts. I'm saving it for the pod. Here was where I was taken back. The bow in your hair.

That was a last minute decision. Wait, do you think that was the Cuz I actually sealed your fate.

I thought it I thought it was [ __ ] It's the small designer who's like the [ __ ]

That's another thing that people don't talk about enough. You're always taking small brands, small designers, trying to put them on a pedestal, trying to uplift women,

supporting femalun businesses and you guys are tearing them down. I'm like, have you seen the Zara window today? You know,

so this is Mila Sullivan, might be Mila. And I loved it cuz it had people were calling it a tampon but it had this like red which is very Hollywood to me and like the lace and yeah the lace kind of looked nude on top without the bow I think it really was good.

Last second it was brought up do we throw the bow in you know when you're just walking out the door and you're like

yeah little glitter. Yeah. That's how it opposite of Coco Chanel. like before you leave the house, add at least three things.

That literally was what happened. Everything was done and then we put it on. Um I thought you would appreciate me trying to do a little girly bow.

Yeah. But bows I guess aren't. You know what's funny is like I'm always like bring back Joan Rivers. Like nobody everyone's afraid to say something. And then when it's us I'm like oh that was mean.

Like I'm like oh yeah they hit me right right. Wait. But you know what? That's why you didn't comment on my photo because you didn't want to kick a a dead dog a dead horse.

There's one thing the internet loves and it's um piling on group mentality. And so if I did a comment that was less than favorable.

You would have lit a fire that we could have never unfired. Yeah. Yeah. I could have never put

your silence was deafening. It's loud. I was at one point where I was like, did I miss her? Did she Did I miss it? And then I was like, "Oh, she's mad mad." I was like, "She is livid."

I just I just I I Well, there's a lot of things about it that weren't me. So, you're already starting me at a negative. Okay. You know, I hate lace.

You do? Yeah. I hate lace. You know, I hate lace. You know, I hate like multiple colors in one thing. So, like, you already put me at a bad

Why would you do that? But you know what? You know what I want? I wanted to be happy.

I crave like I I It was too calm for too long. You love No, here's the other thing that I think that people insult me and give you a compliment that I I do actually think is true. I love a trend. I love being influenced. I love seeing a girl and being like, "Oh, I can recreate that outfit. That was such a good idea." You have amazing personal style. You only go by what you like and what you think looks good and what you think is cool. So, and I think that's a great thing.

I also have a unique body type. It's very pear and it's hard to pull off a lot of trends. Like I can't wear a blazer dress. You love a blazer dress.

I love a blazer dress. My labia is just flapping around. Like my butt doesn't fit.

Yeah. Like anything I get I'm like what if we made it mini it'd be better. Yeah. Like I everything I'm like I need it to be longer cuz my booty. But um I digress. How are you?

I'm good. How are you? I actually have a funny story. Okay. I actually have a couple funny stories, I think. Um, my first story is

Wait, tell me a story. So, the other day I get a email. Yeah, I think an email or a text.

I'm so sorry. I was like on a Wednesday at 2 p.m. I'm not begging. How dare you? I get an email or a text, whatever, from Gmail like, "Hey, your email was logged on on from another phone, from another computer, like whatever. And I if there's one thing I take seriously, it's cyber security. Okay. I'm very Ubers and cyber security. Top on my list.

That's so funny cuz I'm like that's on my business. Oh, I've screenshotted sent into chat GPT like is this a real email? Is this a real website? Like I'm very weary. No, you remember when like Dior emailed me for a collaboration and I forwarded it to my agent. They were like, yeah, that Dior doesn't want.

I go, it happened. It happened. They're like, no, it's D E O R. They don't want you.

Okay. So, I get that email and so immediately I'm like, oh my god, this is like and I don't know how to check like, oh, is that my phone? Whatever. I'm just like changing my password. So, I go on, I change my password, like whatever.

How many passwords can one person have? I mean, I write write it down in my phone, so if someone took the phone, it's like I'm I'm Yeah.

So, then a couple days goes by and my mom comes into town and whatever. And she says to me,

um, I can't see your emails anymore. And I'm like, my emails? And I'm thinking she's like getting the word wrong. I'm like, what do you you mean like my texts aren't going through? Like she And she's like getting her hair and makeup done. She goes, "No, your emails. I can't see your emails anymore. I go, how were you looking at my emails? And she goes, you gave me your old iPad. You never signed out of your emails and the other day I got signed out of your emails. And I go I go, wait,

wait, what do you I go, "What if you open something and I didn't open it and then I missed it?" And she goes, "Well, come on. I respect your privacy."

Oh, you totally do. And I go, she goes, "I only click on things you've already clicked on."

Wait, I'm obsessed that from 8 to 10:00 p.m. every night. Kim has her shows. And by shows, it's going through Paige's junk mail. I go, "What are you looking for?" She goes, "I like to see how you respond. I like to see how other people respond. I like to see what jobs you're doing." I go, I was so taken back. But the best part about it was that like she was confused on why I was confused. And the end of the conversation was when I come home from Thanksgiving, I'll resign into my email on her iPad.

Wait, now I'm mad that my mom isn't in my emails cuz now I feel like does my mom better be on their toes because I don't think you realize my mom is also reading it.

Your mom is reading everyone's emails. Um, wait, this is so And she had notes. And she had notes. It's like when you're little and you're on the phone with someone and then you hear like a noise and you're like, "Is someone on the line?"

I was so taken back and especially because I was at a Daphne photo shoot and people were talking about like going home for the holidays and people were like, "Oh, I get a hotel when I go home so that I don't like burden my family and like stay with them." And I look at my mom from the corner of my eye and she's like, "Oh no, get a hotel." Hotel. You're like, I made my parents switch with me and I have their bedroom.

I'm like, my mom is in my emails. Well, I didn't realize that I share location with my mom.

And it's the that's the thing. They don't tell you. So, like Yeah. No, I knew that.

Thank god she has it though cuz I don't want to text her every time I land. Well, that's the thing. It's it's very it makes their life easier for us to share our locations because they're like now when I text my mom like I landed she goes I know

but also you as a mom you're you're going to be I'm tripping them. I'm micro tripping them.

I'm sorry you said I'm Russia. That was one of the funniest lines. That was one of the funniest lines you've had in my life.

And I think it's I think it's growing up because I feel like we are similar. We grew up in a household where like we love our dads. Our dads are great. Like totally. They're like, "Patriarch, let's go."

Yeah. I mean, but our moms are in charge. Yeah. So, like if you My dad's a personality hire.

Add some color or get out. Like unless you're adding a little light to the room, I don't need your [ __ ]

My dad comes in for dramatic effect. But my mom is in control. Like anything serious, you're asking our moms. Like,

yeah. So, anyway, so I'm just like, that's how my household will be run because

Sorry, men are a little bit dumber. My dad is dumber. Mhm. He's not as skilled. He doesn't know what's going on.

I um was just with my my extended family, my brother, his wife, and their two kids.

Yeah. I was the fun aunt. Yeah. When I tell you we went off, we woke up. First of all, Lois wakes me up and wants me to read immediately, which read a book to her, which should be a torture device. Have you ever tried to read the second you woke up? I'm like,

she literally me with this huge book and she's like, "Read it to me." And then she knows she memorized the book. So if I obviously I'm trying

out at third grade once they come home past third grade. Sorry, I can't help anymore.

No, but like obviously I was like skimming the words. I'm not reading a full paragraph. I was like, "Let's get to the gist of it." And she was like, "You missed the sentence." And I was like, "I'm obsessed with you. Keep me on my toes."

You're like, "Look at the pictures, Lois." So, I was in Indiana, which um look, there's a culture there and but I also, this happens to me all the time. My opener Ali Colbert jokes that I interact with people where it seems like it's their first day on planet Earth.

I like attract that energy like it's their first time interacting with someone.

So, I tell Lois, "Let's go get smoothies cuz I'm fun." Yeah. So, I go to get a smoothie and I look at the lady and I was like, "I have the strawberry banana. add peanut butter, please, because I'm fun,

right? She looks at me, tell me, tell me if I'm crazy. She looks at me and just goes,

almond butter. In that moment, I'm like, okay, so many things could be happening right now.

Are you suggesting Are you suggesting it? Are you Did you not hear me and you thought I said almond butter? Are you saying you don't have peanut butter and you're going to replace it with almond butter? Yeah. So I I go back at her because that's I just go

peanut butter. That's what I said. Peanut butter. And Lois is just looking at me and I go, "Yeah,

don't worry, Auntie Han. I'll handle this." And the woman, I swear to God, looks at me and goes, "Almond butter."

Oh. So then my heart starts. She My heart rate goes up. She added extra. She said, "Almond butter." So then I said, "I am so sorry. Are you saying that you don't have peanut butter and you were replaced with almond butter?" And she looks at me and she just nods her head. But I'm like with a full family. I'm with my family.

Yeah. So you're a in that moment. As far as she knows, that's your child. I have a child who is looking at her mother to see how she handles social situ adversity.

So I my heart's my heart's beating and I'm but I'm like, you know, I'm funny. So I put my card and I turn to my brother after I go,

did I almost fight that woman? And he goes, that was [ __ ] crazy. And I'm like, am I did I say it weird? like, "Is it me?"

Yeah. And he's like, "No, it's not you." Then we go to Barnes & Noble, obviously, with our smoothies

and trying to find how to giggle. I haven't I look in every airport. Haven't found it.

Me neither. I don't know. I'm like, "This is the one." I'm like, "Surely there's a giggler here that's like this."

I walk in, I'm like, "Everyone's staring at me." Everyone's like, "That's a girl."

They know I'm looking for my book. But I walk in and I'm all like shy and I'm I'm like, "Let's try to find it. Can't find it on our own." But Barnes & Noble is [ __ ] huge. And and also like I don't know what our book is under like self-help or like who knows

what genre are is it considered new can't put us in a box bestselling I don't know. So

I haven't been in Barnes & Noble in a while. So I was like oh I know how to find it. They have that like table with the computer where you like put the book's name in.

So I'm like come on Lois. And I go and it puts the book's name in. I hear ma'am. Ma'am that's for employees only. So then I look at that and I'm like look I look like I'm about to like

you're like rob Okay, there it is. And I'm like I'm so sorry. And I look at my brother again and I'm like am I

the problem? Yeah, you are the problem. So Lois is like who knew those were for employees.

I I now thinking back it was always an employee that would like write it, but it was just sitting there.

Yeah. Like at least have a sign. Sorry, a girl wants to take charge. But this is why I don't leave my house.

No. Literally, I said that the other day. I forget what I was referring to. And I was just like, "And this is why I don't go out."

And this is what happened. This is Then Lois got her nails done, which was the cutest thing ever. Manicure, pedicure.

And she's obsessed with sparkles. And she does this thing where she goes, "Hannah, tell me a story."

You should have seen. I got her so excited. I said, "This little girl, you can just make up stories on your own." Like

she literally be like, "Tell me a story." And you started with saying, "There was a little girl and her name

like locked in." She's like, "And I'm It's literally her being like, "Give me gossip." I go, "Let me there's a little girl." And I'll be like, "And her name was Lois." And you know when they get that face where they're like, "Oh my god." Like this is going to be so good about me. And I go, "And she had superpowers cuz everything she touched turned to sparkles." She I swear to God, she went [gasps] she gasped. And I said, "I'm about to freak you out right now." I'm gagged right now. Keep going.

Then her favorite color is purple and she go and I go and then one day it turned purple also and she was like I am freaking out.

I just need to point out on the pod that you do also have a nephew. Bobby. Yeah.

But well this this podcast is for women. Um no Bobby is actually the cutest ever. Well then we bring them to a [snorts]

it's called Sky Zone. This is what people do in the suburbs. There's a lot of creative

the trampoline place. The trampoline place. So I'm like, "Sorry, I'm breaking my neck."

I was like, "Let's go get there." And immediately I'm like, "I'm going to throw up."

Mhm. Lois is having the time of her life. She's somersaulting, which I'm like, "That's not what you're supposed to do here, but whatever you want." Bobby is just like boopping around the cutest ever. And I feel like I was going to puke. And then there was a like ninja warrior type obstacle course.

The way I quit. So like really? No. Well, cuz I'm my body weight is all hips down, so I have no upper body strength and my fingers are really short and fat.

So like there was one thing where you had to like monkey bar it and like you know they try and they fall. I just calmly fell down.

Okay, next Hannah and Paige try because I feel like I low key would be phenomenal at it.

Okay, we have to do what's it like? Okay, now that because you're not the parent and you're like the aunt, you're a little removed

having seeing like Lois and Bobby, like would you rather have a girl or a boy? Like what looks easier?

Lois is observant. Lois doesn't let you lie to her. Lois says why where Bobby is just happy to be there?

Yeah. He's like happy to be involved. Got a snack. It's literally our like think of your parents. Like it like it's always the same. My dad was talking to I think it was like my brother's girlfriend's mom and he was just like saying he was talking about like having kids or something and he looks at her and he was like, "Well, I'm a girl dad."

Cute. My dad has a son has a full son. I'm like, "Girl dads are for dads who only have daughters." Dad, I'm like, "You I know you feel that and I feel it for you."

The same father. I go, "You can't say that. My father's like Facebook photo is a photo of me.

He's like, "No, but I I am. I'm a girl." We're the password kids. Yeah. We're the password.

If my dad had to keep passwords and my mom obviously keeps them, I would be the password child. But another great example, my dad doesn't know. You ask him any password. He's like, "What?

What?" My favorite cuz the holidays are coming along. I love looking at my dad being like, "Do you know what this is?"

No. Cuz you were not involved in any of the shopping. But guess who got a gift for you? Me. You hit mom to do all of it.

No, I love it. Speaking of Thanksgiving, I literally thought I was like going crazy. You know, like when you go on TikTok and it's like Mandela effect and it's like things whatever

and like usually I'm like, "Okay, there like an explanation for that or like it changed over." I really started to get scared the other day to the point where I called my mom

and she's like, "Yeah, I see it." She was like, "I don't know what you're talking about." I thought Thanksgiving was always the third Thursday.

Oh, this is above my pay grade. I don't That's none of my business of November.

I wait for someone to tell me it's next week and then I do it. But it's not. It's always been the last Thursday of the month.

Who? And people are like, if you if you think that it was the third Thursday, you're in a different timeline. And so, like, I'm genuinely convinced I'm on a different timeline.

I thought it was always the 28th. Is it? I don't know. No, don't listen to me. I don't

It's the 27th this year. It's the 27th this year. But I always thought it was the third. I got my tooth done.

Let me see. Sorry. That's It looks Wait, it looks so different. Wait. Okay. Wait. It doesn't. But also, it does.

Do you feel better? Yes. That's all that matters. Okay. So, I got a veneer just on this tooth next to my front tooth. But I didn't get my tooth shaved shaven down.

You got a veneer, but not on the front tooth. on this one. This one. Okay. I couldn't

Dr. Eric Chason, Madison Dental. He's been my dentist for 10 years. Wait, did they shave it down?

No, because my tooth was so pushed back. He was like, I can just glue on the veneer to your tooth and it'll be like the result you want. And I'm obsessed. And I love him.

Pretty smiley lately. Have I? Well, I love my smile now. No, it was really annoying me though.

Yeah, actually. Yeah. that when I got Invisalign, you always have that moment where you're like,

"Would you do anything?" And the lady was like, "Yeah, like there's one tooth that there I could like put some more tooth there."

So, I'm going to do Invisalign on the bottom and my top like I'm good. I feel good. And he's like, "And I don't need to see you now for a while." And I'm like "Okay."

You love I love the dentist. A dentist. You love a dermatologist. That's where you feel alive.

Doctor says like, "I'm sorry. I'm going to have to make you come back in like next week." I'm like, "No, I'm sad. I love my

I told you I went to get a facial and they were like to book a laser you have to like book again and I'm like you will never see me again.

Yeah. No, I love a followup. You love I love a follow-up appointment. They're like and we're just going to need to see you back. I'm like and I'm here.

I'm here. You go just us two besties. Honestly, that's like one of the biggest reasons why I was like I could never leave New York City. I'm like all my people are here. Like all my doctors

whenever I go to the doctor I'm always like I should do this more often. Yeah. But like it's I told you I was talking to someone from LA and they were like, "Who's your anti-aging doctor?" And I was like, "I don't have a doctor."

I don't have a doctor. That's so LA. But what were they referring to? Cuz I love I wish you information.

Gigglers, it's officially gift swap season. And I'm so excited. Me and Hannah have gifts for each other from Ulta Beauty. And I you're my favorite person to get a gift from and also give a gift.

Why? Because I like to see your thought process, you know? I like to see. But also, I love Ulta because there's so many different things I could pick.

And you can really get something for everyone. Everyone, whether it's your skinare obsessed girl, whether the one who likes to put on makeup for a fancy event,

fragrances, they have a ton of fragrances. Yes. It's just your ultimate gifting destination. Also, I love an app. They have a great beauty app where I could just boop boop boom boom.

Can I be your gift? Yes. Actually, let's swap. Swap. You go first. Okay. You know, I love like good packet.

You know, I love this. I know you would wear that as like a purse to an event. I got you the Clinique Black Honey Vault. So, Black Honey is kind of their like iconic shade that they've known about forever.

I feel like it really does look good on everyone. These are my favorite. Do you want to know why? Cuz these are like a little nostalgic.

I know. I also feel like you will have like six lip glosses in your purse and you still need more. Like you like to have options.

I don't leave the house unless I have like three options for lip. And also like people don't talk about changing your lip midday. Sometimes you change with the mood. So many people are like, "Does it last all day?" It's like, "Well, maybe it doesn't cuz I'm going to throw a different look at 2:00 p.m."

Exactly. Exactly. Especially when you have outfit changes. You need lip changes.

Wait. And then you can legit use this. Yeah. It's really cute. This is a great gift. I love something that comes in like a little set and it's like the gift is already practically wrapped

and silver's in. Let's see what Paige got me. So, you think I smell? I love Soul de Janeiro. Soul de Janeiro is the best. And also, you're a driver now, so like you actually have to keep sprays in a car because it's just like a right of passage.

You could spray this anywhere cuz it's a mist. Well, yeah. And it has Oh my god. Fresh guava nectar, sunlit orchid, and sensuous pink musk. Is that what you think about me when you think of me?

Pink musk. Yeah, it is. And that's the soul de Janeiro Shurrosa 48. It's one of their best sellers. I like to call it the pink one because I think it's the prettiest one. Also, when you walk into Ulta Beauty, you can obviously find a gift, but you might discover something new for yourself. Like, there's always new skin care to discover.

What I always say, one for you, one for me. That's how I do my Christmas shopping. Or you forget that you only got stuff for you and you didn't get stuff for everyone else. And that's something that's okay. It's something I'm working on. We love how easy Ulta Beauty makes holiday shopping. There's a set for everyone. There's gifts for yourself. And they just make it so easy because not only can you go in store, but you can also shop online and in the Ulta Beauty app.

And this little swap moment was brought to you by Ulta Beauty and Acast Creative. Wait, another thing I saw on TikTok, which is really blowing my mind. It was this like news outlet in Canada and it was this woman who I forget what her like exact job is but it's like the study of like certain animal species

and she was saying that in the past 10 years raccoons are making a really intense play to be domesticated.

Well, was it because they're starting to become cuter? Their snouts have changed

because they're smaller. It's easier for them to get food, I think, because so many people are feeding them. And they said this was like similar to what cats did. They just like hung around more

and were like, "Hey, I can come in." But also, speaking of Russia, last last pod we were talking about it, they're domesticated in Russia. Like, if you ever get like a random Russian Tik Tok, they have [ __ ] raccoons as pets. They take them to the grocery store.

Don't raccoons have thumbs? I think they do. I think raccoons do have opposable thumbs.

That's your child. Like those are furry humans. Here's the thing. I really feel like it's a hybrid between a cat and a dog kind of because it's cat-like where it's like taking things with its hands, but it's also like dog like because it's like

it's messy. Yeah. It's like, "Hey, I mean, don't tempt me with a new animal that I could domesticate."

Yeah. I'm just like, "In 15 years, like if someone was like, "Here's your pet raccoon."

Well, did you hear people are really upset about how pigeons are treated in New York?

I have seen some discourse about the pigeon pigeon discord cuz pigeons back in the day were

renowned. Renowned. They were they worked for the government. They were women in STEM

literally. Yeah. They were communicated. Have you seen Game of Thrones? That's how they communicated

just like idiots. And now we're like, get out of the way. And every now and then, do you ever see a pigeon that's like walking with you? And I'm like, it could be us.

Well, you want to know what? I have a lot of pigeons that sit on my window sill.

Yeah. And I don't know why specific. They're gossiping. It was specifically my window sill, but those are Kitty's friends.

Yes. Butter loves. And they go like they [ __ ] all over my window sill, but that's another

that's for another time. I did something kind of adorable and my brother and I went out to dinner together,

just the two of you, which honestly I don't know if we've ever done ever done. Like, yeah, we'd hang out in college and stuff, but never like as adults.

Gary and I went out to dinner just the two of us. Not this summer, but the summer before. Because my we were on vacation. My parents were like, "We're not going to go. We don't feel well. You guys go."

Crazy. And we looked at each other. It's It's like you're not supposed to be alone with your sibling. Like that's when like weird bad things happen.

I saw a Tik Tok where it was like when my siblings crying and I pat their back cuz our parents never taught us how to console each other. There is something like inherently awkward with your sibling, but then it's like so not

it's Yeah, it feels so familiar but also so weird. Also, cuz we left his wife and children at home,

but we we made a set the night before. There's also like an overwhelming ick to it because you're like people think we're on a date. Like that's disgusting.

That's the thing about me and my brother. He's blonde with blue eyes and he's a year and a half younger than me. We're very close but

cuz he lives in Chicago. It's been like different because I can't see him. But it was so funny. We get in the car

and they drive differently in the Midwest. Like we were um in a lane that wasn't moving

and all the other lanes were moving and you know you're just in New York like they'll kill a family to get ahead.

Yeah. The car is like not going to the other lane. But my brother and I are both

polite. Like we didn't have someone in the car to be like racing to get home. They're like this is life.

We had a reservation. They were just like oh yeah the trap is bad. The traffic is bad. And I'm like well can you can we make some moves?

No. New York has definitely made me way more impatient than I feel like I and I love how the Uber drivers you'll be like no rush and they're like it's okay and then they just like

they're like really cuz I'm in one. They're just in the bus lane and you're like actually get ahead [ __ ] get ahead. Um so we get to the restaurant.

Wait, I was just going to say so like walk us through it. like did you guys talk about so we're talking and then we end up being in like the worst traffic ever to the point where I was like well I think we

ran out we've run out of stuff to talk about and um we still have a whole dinner together so

it's funny because it's similar to like I would assume that when my parents go out to dinner together just the two of them like what are they talking about other than me you know

I know well we love talking about the parents so it's the kind of the same thing because making fun of your parents with your sibling is like a different symbiosis.

I even was talking about like a memory I had and he was like I was there and I was like you were it's funny how your memories like you don't remember fully. I'm like, "You were in the car during that?" And he's like, "Yeah, a couple years ago it like I don't know if it was like a therapist said this or like where it was, but it was like just because you and your sibling grew up in the same house with the same parents, the same amount of years doesn't mean they had the same childhood experience as you."

100%. And it it like kind of hurt my brain. I was like, "Wait, what do you mean

you didn't experience that the way I like I experienced my dad very differently than my brother experienced my dad?"

Yeah. Like he walked in the room, your dad didn't even say good morning. No, like he was like a little bit more

Hello, my sweetie poopy. Like a little bit more scared of my dad because they would like have to work together. Oh, yeah. where like like if it snowed, my brother woke up knowing he had to shovel. Where I woke up knowing like hot chocolate my dad's going to Dunkin' Donuts today like you know like everyone's getting munchkin like there's so many different things where like you realize you had a different experience. But it's so cute to think of like the memories that just you guys had. Like I was I was like, "Do you remember that Mexican restaurant?

We'd eat at the corner and we'd eat everything and then we lived up that block and my dad would go, "Okay, race." And he'd make us race on a full stomach full of Mexican

Michael Vic. Literally, my dad was crazy. And then I would always win because I was older. And I'm like, "Was that because I loved winning, but I was like that must have after like the 40th time you lost that must have hurt." And I was we would play football and I again was bigger than him and I would just knock him down.

It's so true. They siblings really are the only people that knew you as a child who also will know you as an adult. Like even some of your f like some of your friends don't know what you were like when you were three.

Yeah. 100%. Also, Daniel's kids are the same age difference and look exactly the same as me and him. Yeah.

So it's like watching us as kids. I try to explain to Lois. I'm like, "What Bobby is to you, Daniel is to me."

Yeah. Like kids. I'm like, "Your dad is my little stupid brother." Yeah. Like, does Lois know that her grandma is your mom?

Probably not. She's [ __ ] smart, though. You know, every now and then you're like, are you a [ __ ] genius?

Or are we in that situation where like, do you just think that cuz she's her? I'm so that person where I'm like, that was the most athletic thing any kid's ever done.

Or was it just kid ever? A waste of our time. She or was that spin move kind of ridiculous and not at all athletic?

You know, but because she's yours, are you like, "Sorry, Lois is like, you don't have any niece or nephews, do you? That you know of."

Not that I'm privy to. I was explaining to Daniel, I'm like, "That's my child." Like, it's my jeans with someone else's jeans.

The closest I have is like my cousin has kids, but they live in Chicago. So, it's not even like I I saw

It's also weird because my aunt and uncle I'm like, "Yeah, like I like you guys, but like I don't realize I love Lois and Bobby more than anything." I mean, those are my kids. Like, I'll steal them.

I don't have that. I don't have anything like that. I'm really sorry about that.

D and I go to this like fancy restaurant in Chicago and we get there and they're like, "It's a um a collaboration with an artist." And immediately

Dan, I checked out. There's these like like tables that you stand, right? And they were like, "Okay, thank you so much for coming. Um, this is the art. Make yourself comfortable." And they bring us like an appetizer. And I look at Daniel and I go, "Did is the reservation for like a standing table?" Cuz everyone else is sitting and we're standing at this table and I'm like, "Did we did you mess up?" And we're standing and he's like, "I

I've never even heard of something like this." No, but this is also my life. every [snorts] time I walk because it's people's first day on the road. It's my life. It's literally everything.

You get hit with the most random everything is a Seinfeld episode. And then he's like, "I don't think so." I go, "Why'd you say make yourself comfortable if we're standing here?" Like, it makes it sound like we're going to be here for a long time. So then we start freaking out. We're like, "Are we at a standing table after being in traffic for 2 hours at this like it was one of those tasting menus that's like 3 hours?"

Oh, I hate a tasting menu. So then we're panicking and then finally the lady was like, "Okay, now come with me." I'm like, "That was unnecessary. Whatever just happened."

But we sit down and a a woman comes up to the table and she goes, "I'm so sorry. There's

Wait, I feel like that's a great idea for a restaurant in LA where it's like you like walk on your walking pad while you're eating." Like that is some like a standing restaurant only,

a standing desk restaurant and you do squats. This lady comes to the table and she goes, "I just want to let you know there's a lot of dairy on this menu." And I go, I go, like, I love a giggler with an entrance. I love a giggler that has a line is [snorts] like, I'm going to get you. Meanwhile, my brother's literally looking like, uh, what? And I'm like, it's just me and the girls. I go, I'm going to [ __ ] myself. Thank you.

And my brother's, we're at a fancy restaurant and I'm like, do you have a lactate? She's like, I actually do if you need. I'm like, "No, I'm going to I'm going to raw dog this one. Thank you so much." And of course, she's like, "I'm so biased, but the gigglers are all like a hot, successful, smart, funny, gorgeous." And she walks away,

and that was iconic. Um, and then the guy comes and he's like, "Oh, we have some some more recipes, um, some more options for add-ons." They had like a $150 like ravioli.

$150 ravioli. What is in the middle of it? Truffle or something? A little truffle? mushroom. So my brother, the way he phrased this was so funny, but he goes, "Sorry, I didn't do a lot of research on the menu is how he started it." And I was like, "Oh my god." Cuz we're like kind of young to be at the restaurant. It was all like old people.

And then he goes, "How many like um actual meals are there?" And he leaves courses. Yeah. And I'm like, "Damn, the way you start that, it sound like you were about to be like, is this for Wendy's?" So like we're out of So we're just like giggling and then the guy puts down the meal and my brother looks at me and goes, "Almond butter." And then we're losing it. Like we are losing.

There's nothing better than a call back, especially from like a sibling earlier in the day.

Cuz one thing about my brother, your brother's very very funny. My brother's actually quite stiff and professional and like the adult like he's more mature than me. But after one drink

Yeah. He's funny. He's me. Like he's so goofy. And then well grow back to siblings have different experiences. Growing up with you, you were probably

someone had to hold it together. So loud and like confident and like I'm going to say this and this is funny that he was probably like and that's her and this is me. I'm like a little bit.

He's reserved. He's he's strong. He's sensitive. Beautiful. Great man. Um, so proud of that man. We support him in the arts. And then when you go to these tasting menus, the descriptions they have of everything.

Why did you guys pick a tasting menu? Cuz he's like he's like a foodie. Like he like

loves like I thought you like did it by accident. It is kind of fun cuz you get to like Gordon Ramsay it. Like you taste it and you look at each other and you go the acidity really.

Is that a foam of some sort? There's always a foam elderflower on a tasting. It's like, you don't need to foam this.

There's always a foam. They love a foam. It's like that's like me adding a bow at the end. You didn't need it. Um, cool. But um, it was so funny cuz they describe these things. They'll be like, "And then we got this rock from a mountain and and fell and whatever." So then Daniel started like making up stuff cuz they talk about like they'll be like,

"There's so many skits that can be performed." And the way we killed this was there was a ninja. There was no pain. the the goat didn't see it coming and its family was nowhere near it. Like there's just so many details about it. So he starts doing that.

That's so funny. So we're just like giggling the whole meal and then the giggler was obviously coming in adding rift. So we had

You had a nice time. I had a nice time with my brother. Wait, that's so nice. I had a nice time with my little brother. I also feel like

you had an older brother which is completely different dynamic. I feel like they beat you up. Like I'm beaten down.

Like I came out of the womb just tired. Like Lois is the older one and I'm watching Bobby will like annoy her and she's not going to beat him up. She'll just be like, "Bobby, stop it." Where I feel like older brothers probably just like smacked you.

Yeah. They they beat you down so badly that you have nothing left to give. You want to know what I think that is why like in so many of my like dating relationships that men have described me as like having a man's mentality because there is so much [ __ ] that I don't care that I'm like I don't care like shut up whatever. And I think it is growing up with an older brother that like any emotional thing that I'd be like and this is upset. He'd be like shut up no one cares not a big deal. Get over it. So that so I almost was like okay I don't care about that if I had a sister I don't think it would have been good for the world. I would have been so much more catty and calculating I feel like and like read into things where like the majority of things in my life I'm like I don't

care. Yeah. Yeah. I there is positivity of having a brother in the household. It's fun to like throw a tampon at them.

Yeah. And I think my brother and I were a good amount of years apart that I actually I always felt like an only child. Like I never felt like because my brother was doing things I

couldn't because it was so opposite things. He's so boyish and I'm so girly that we never over overlapped.

It's my brother during high school I went to three different high schools. Like I went

for a tennis team, then I went to Florida, then I went back and my brother was like there. So I like left him for a second when I was 14.

My brother like to this day. Now mind you, I'm 33 years old. This man is 37. Still will say, "You abandoned me." And I'm like, "Wait,

cuz you went to New York." And he's like, "When you went away?" And I go to jail.

To college? I'm like, "Wait, what do you mean?" He's like, "You moved to New York City." I'm like to start my life like but it really upset like to this day it really upsets him.

Jerry has a metro card like I see you every weekend you're like at my apartment. I see you more now than when you were in high school.

You know what's actually so freaking cute? My brother I would like go to different schools because of tennis.

My brother followed me to literally every school except when I went to Florida.

Did he like that? He ended I guess I don't think there was about it. We haven't actually to himself in his therapist. It's weird.

And then he went to Wisconsin with me. Oh wow. Is that crazy? Wait, that is fun.

He followed me everywhere. But he had a whole different life. There's also I think a different discourse with me and my brother because I was younger that like my whole life I was known as Gary Dorbo's little sister. But now anywhere like he's a lawyer. He'll be in court and a judge will be like, "We watch yours." You know, so like now he's Paige Dorbo's brother and it's it takes a it's very jarring for him. He doesn't like that.

I don't want to put my brother on blast, but he's at a big company and he is doing everything in his power for people not to know that he's my brother.

Like literally, he's so like he's so proud of me, but he does not want to be part of any of it.

No, I think Yeah. Anyway, if there's someone with my last name of your company, that's my brother. Um, one thing I'd like to bring to the forefront

that I think that like AI needs to get on, um, people at Apple need to get on. Look, everyone's like, "We don't need AI taking people's jobs." Totally. I completely agree with that. Let's use AI for things that we can actually use. Why can't I go into my pictures into my photos album and type in exactly what I'm looking for and it not pull it up? Like I want to type in mirror selfie red dress purple shoes. Give me the picture.

It doesn't come up. No. Like it's they have search but it's not accurate. Yeah. Like I'll I'll put like mom and like it shows my dad.

Yeah. I'm like pull her up. You know who she is. You know who she is. You know. Do you ever search for cat photos?

Of course, DAP's labeled in there, obviously. But like, no, you're right. Honestly, now that I think about it, my mom was probably to my FBI agent in my phone like

all good here. I got it. I've been monitoring your emails. We don't need you. I'll send you the report.

Next level CIA intelligence. Like, hire the woman. Stop thinking about it. Put her in the top level of the government.

Yeah. It needs to be moms running things. They need to be more like you know how Vince Vaughn did that movie and it was like retired Italian grandmas and they like made a restaurant.

So cute. It really should be like retired moms just like my retired mom running some type of vigilante

is so busy with she has a knitting club. She has a a fundraising club. She has a historical society. I'm like mom at this point get paid. Like

no I I literally said to my mom the other day I go how did you work? You're so busy.

She's busier than me. I call my my retired mom. I'm calling and she's like, "Can't talk right now, sweetie. Thank you. I'm running I'm running a new fundraiser. Hang on."

Or my mom will be out to lunch and she'll be like, "Sorry, I can't talk. I'm at lunch." You know Barbara? I have no idea who the [ __ ] Barbara is. Yes. Come on. You know her. I'm like, "Hang." I'm like, "I can't."

Who the [ __ ] is Meline? No. That's literally how I feel when she's like, I'm out to dinner with I mean,

my mom says the knitting club is the craziest gossip ever cuz these [ __ ] just go to gossip. Like they sit

about like other people in the town. They know. They know everything. And they're like, "Are you ready?" And she's like, "It's insane." But like it's hard to get into the knitting clubs.

Oh, good question. Probably. Yeah. I have a story slash I want to hear your take.

Okay. Jennifer Aniston, who we love, has a new boyfriend. Have you seen this? I've seen snippets. I like I couldn't pick him out of a lineup, but I I saw he's like a good-looking guy, but he does um

motivational, and that's Yeah. What is it for couples? It's like a life coach situation. So, look, I was with Ally, my opener, and we're before a show, this is what we do. She says, "What do you think about Jennifer Francis's new man? He's so good-looking." Mhm.

So I look, I see an older man. I said, you know, that's my type. And then immediately I see something about like I am worthy or something. And I said, hold,

you go, let me stop you right there. And I go, I don't like this at all. It's giving Denise Richard's

ex-husband that energy. And I said, also, are you a relationship coach who's single? I don't like that. I don't like any life coaches. I don't want my life coach to be good-looking either because that means you're using an algorithm. Manipulative. Not look,

I don't know this man. I don't know this man. You need a life coach. You call my mom. I'll give you the number. Don't get scammed by these mom.

She'll straighten you right. That's my mom's favorite phrase. I'll straighten you right out.

Do I actually trust this guy though? Because he did manifest um Jennifer. Jennifer Aniston. Maybe he does know something about manifesting. However, having a good-looking man look at the camera and tell you life advice gets me sick to my stomach.

Hannah and preaching to the [ __ ] choir. And I don't want to like be so negative you guys, but like whenever I've been depressed, what do you do? You buy like three self-help books that you'll never read and then you like sign up for a class of like figuring out life. If you could just buy happiness, all of us would be happy. You just have to like get a loan and then you're f

my thing with life coaches and like no hate no shade but like a little why as a person seeking some type of guidance why am I picking a life coach over a therapist who went to school

well also life coaches if if you okay if I'm a a big podcaster and I want to give advice on podcasts that makes sense to me

totally what have you done in your life that you I'm a drug addict and I'm trying to overcome being a drug drug addict. You're a life coach. You were a drug addict.

Totally. But like what other not just like I'm going through a rough time. Want to become a Pilates instructor. But this is what they do. Like a Tony Robbins.

I'm weird his name. No. No. 100%. Because what he's done is created a multi multi-million dollar business um

motivational to help people. Yeah. Where where they make most their money is from classes to teach other people how to be a life coach. Now, I don't know a lot of math.

That would be like if one day that's called a pyramid scheme. That would be like one day if we were like, "Hey, the Giggly Squad has great advice. Pay for the episodes."

Yeah. Well, it's or pay for us to give you lessons on how to become a big podcast and then you you can you don't become a big podcast though. You just teach other people how to become a big podcast based on our knowledge of podcasting.

Yeah. It's just it's crazy. Yeah. So, I'm like Alli's about to go and Allie's like, "No, but these people help you." Like, you ever like down and you see a quote? I'm like, "These people steal other people's quotes. Put their name under it and put it with a nice font." the any anytime I see a good-looking man posting a motivational quote

something went seriously wrong he's got financial issues he's in the closet weird stuff with his mom

weird weird with his mom very weird very weird stuff boundaries have been crossed so I'm literally and she's like but I love like I love the idea of self-help I'm like yeah I love it but when people start scamming you for money and like they're making money off people in their darkest time I don't like it And she's like, "Okay." I'm like, "Get on stage." Like, "I swear to God."

No. And I know the tone you get when you're really And she like got I could tell SHE WAS LIKE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HER.

And he and Ally was like, "Okay, I didn't realize you were." So, but it was funny halfway through at first she was upset and then halfway through she's like, "I just let you know you're turning me on this. Like, I actually could be swayed with this right now." I'm like, "And then I felt the momentum." Now, I'm going in. I'm like, "This life coaching is [ __ ] up. I hate it."

I hope he's nice for her sake. Like the next day, um I text her and I said, "Hey."

Oh, this continued. I said, "Hey, my astrologer yesterday." I said, "My astrologer psychic is coming after the show and she is going to give us readings." And she goes, "Are you [ __ ] out of your [ __ ] mind?" And I said, "Don't ask questioned this man."

I said, "Don't ask question." She goes, "So you lost it on life coach, but you're making me talk to a psychic." I go, "Hey,

different. Don't yuck people's young. Yeah. Different. Totally. We're on a journey together.

I have an appointment December 9th. But you know what I say? I know that I don't know.

Yeah. And that's true knowledge is knowing that you don't know. And I'm not telling people that I know things. Ally did say I would be a great motivational speaker. Do you know why?

I know I could do what they do. I'm like, I could literally do it tomorrow. I know how to do it. I have JV coach energy. I can get anyone from the dumps

to be confident in themselves. I could be a relationship coach. Wait, what's the team in high school where it's like

it's varsity JB and then they're like the it's like there's another one after school.

No, it's like a varsity. I didn't know. Sorry. You're too small. Are you trying to say pee-wee?

No, it's in high school or bit but it's like eighth graders. It's like varsity JV modified. Oh, that was that was a madeup thing they told you.

Modified. Okay. So, every eighth grader was Yeah, it was like if eighth graders played and it was just eighth graders. I mean, I didn't play anything. I wasn't on it when I was heard about it.

Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I don't even know where I was going with that. No, that I would coach the modified team.

Yeah. No, I love being a hype girl. I love making people feel better about themselves, but to make people pay money, it feels icky. It feels weird. But then again, if you have psychic abilities, yes, charge people.

Totally. And if you're making up your psychic abilities, that's on them. Cuz that's on them for paying.

Well, I don't I just am weary of like a man being a life coach because they lie

a lot, you know? And also, when is a man ever reflected? No. And also like I love that Chris thinks it's funny.

When am I ever going to a man for life advice? You guys are have been [ __ ] it up for so long.

How when has something ever happened in your life and you thought I'm going to call my dad?

No. Never. Not one time. Been at a four-way stop sign and been like, "Where do I go?" A fork in the road.

The only time I've called my dad in dire need is when my mom's getting her hair done and she physically pick up the phone. That is the only time that woman cannot take my call.

Do you know who the only people I want life advice from? Anna. An 87year-old smoker.

Yeah. Tell me everything. I Which I feel like I embody. You do. You do. You have an old

I feel like I have an old nicotine soul. Yes. I feel like I have the the energy of an 85year-old woman who smokes a cigarette but still dyes her hair.

I don't want a handsome 47year-old man talking to me about adversity. Certainly not one that has longer hair that he can push back like

of you know exactly what he looks like. It's it's grown a little bit. You know, he goes to the hairdresser and he's like, I want a little bit of a flow where I can kind of

I'm sick to myself. No, stop it. And I know that Jennifer Aniston like is about wellness. She loves Smart Water. She loves working out.

I feel like he might I He's not. But look, you're just not loving it for her. We're going to wait and see. We're going to We're not going to speak ill of him.

There's worse people she could date. Totally. Totally. But like if she's my friend, I would want better for her.

Yeah, I get it. I absolutely I don't like it. I think it's scammy. I think it's scam scam.

Well, we'll have to just like wait and see. I don't find I think apparently they're really happy.

Yeah. So whatever. They're really happy together. Um I'll talk to a psychic to find out. Quick trend report as you know I like to do.

Funnel necks. All the girls are in a funnel neck. What do you think? Love. It doesn't give like tortoise.

No, I love it. I love a funnel neck. Well, do you remember Victoria Beckham in her documentary when she put on that jacket that covered her whole face at the

There was like a Tik Tok and it was like gay Halloween and it was like a guy and he was like just like I'm Victoria Beckham trying on her jacket and he just kept zipping it up and down. I love a funnel neck. I love Victoria Beckham.

I like a funnel neck cuz sometimes I get double chins and if I have a funnel neck I could like laugh that like trends like that I love. It's like we're not gonna be doing it for long, but it looks cool, so why am I not gonna buy a jacket with a funnel neck?

And I dabble with a trend that like is good with my face shape. Totally. Yeah. Um I watched a Zara Larson documentary on Amazon. Exactly. Exactly.

Zara Larson. She has some of the I don't know why I just Yeah. top I can hear you. She had some of the top songs like ever. Um

Okay. I live my day as if it was the past. Live my day as if it was the past. Living life no summer. Living life.

Yes. And now I got it. Yes. She sings that song. She sings um Okay. You know, she sings all these top songs, but no one knows who she is. But she has like five of like the top songs of the last decade.

Why? Great question. She's basically like, "Why are my songs so good, but no one knows who I am?" And I think it comes down to branding. And so it's really interesting to watch.

Is she a blonde urban? She's in between. She's blonde. She's blonde. She's blonde. She's Swedish. She's like so perfect looking like a doll.

Like, but she dresses very kind of like sparkly 27. She It's kind of like you think of Olivia Dean.

Yeah. You got the hair, you got the outfit, you see like you see it like the branding is so good. I think

I saw a thing that said that like if you want to be a pop star, you can't be like Tate McCrae is the exception where she's blonde brunette. You have to either be fully brunette or fully blonde

also. But what I think Tate McCrae does is you have to stick to a hairstyle. Yeah. But I mean Zara Larson does like have a hairstyle. It's more just like she hasn't found her voice. So, it's a cool thing to watch this girl who's so successful, but no one knows who she is and trying to find her voice and her managers are sitting there and I'm like, "Let's figure something out, guys." But it's it was just fascinating.

She lives in America. She goes back and forth and she's really funny. Is she super famous in Sweden?

I think so. But she's also like crazy talented. And when she was really young, she won like a Swedish song voice competition. One of the number one things that blew my mind as a child was thinking that there were other famous people in the world, but we didn't know like they were famous in their own country and I would be like, "Well, if you're not famous in America, then you're not actually famous."

Guys, that's why I'm so obsessed with my husband because he's so famous in Ireland.

No. And now I'm like obsessed with like being famous in a different country. No. Like that is so cool. Like if whenever anyone from Australia like not Canada, sorry guys, but like you're right in there with us, you know, like you're we're basically we live together.

Okay, Drake. But like with someone from Australia or like if you get recognized like when we're in Italy or something, I'm like

she's global. No, this is amazing. She's global. So maybe she just hasn't translated yet into the American market.

Yeah, but she's her songs kill it in America. So it's it's a very interesting. Also, do you remember 2017 there was like Hollyy, Allesia Cara, was that her name?

Sure. There was all of these singers that like are like alternative type. Where is Holly? Oh, I think she got married, had a baby, and she

is like on TikTok basically being like, I don't want to be that famous anymore, which I like I respect.

Totally. But what's interesting about the Zara um documentary is from the very beginning like as a kid she was like I want to be as famous as Beyonce. I want to be super big. I She's like so focused on it. I think that she part of her like forgot to like live other things to have her own like opinions and stuff. She just has always been like I want to be a successful musician. But I love watching a woman who is just ambitious

and it's not negative. Which brings me to the controversial take of the week which is

Dancing with Stars. Are you aware what happened? I am a breast. Are you aware what happened?

I have watched every single episode. What the [ __ ] happened that [ __ ] up Dancing with the Stars for her?

As someone who's watched all seasons of Mormon Housewives, the first season they put Whitney in, everyone's like, "Oh, we hate her." Then you realize, "Oh, she's the whole show." Okay, they wouldn't have a freaking star. She's a star. Okay, basically obviously they all start getting more famous. So all the seasons then turn into like we're filming reality TV. It's very fourth wall. Cut to this season. She was previously like

I'm leaving the group now. I want back in on the group because well I want to film the show and I have to film the show. And then the other girls found out that her deal with Hulu was great. I'll film Mom Talk if you get get me an audition for Dancing with the Stars. And also, I want an audition for something scripted. Hulu said, "Great, because this is showbiz, baby."

And she also didn't ask for a raise. She said, "I don't want my raise." She puts people in couches to watch TV. That's all they care about. Great.

And the girls are like, "Are you only here because you want Dancing with the Stars?

I'm here for the zipline." Yeah. And basically she was like, "Yeah, I am." And they were livid. Okay. And then she got in her car and she said, "Not only am I getting Dancing with the Stars, I'm going to [ __ ] win it." And I love that energy.

She said that. Yeah. So that's why people turn. So they're m And here's the other thing. Only women watch reality TV and no one hates a woman more than another [ __ ] woman. And so people wanted her to see her not succeed at it. Even though I do think she's one of the best dancers on there,

I get very sensitive to like they were showing this scene where they showed all the girls auditioning for Dancing with the Stars in a meeting and then when her meeting came, it cut to all these confessionals of all the girls being like, "Oh my god, Whitney." When her meeting was the same as everyone else's. So seeing

and Taylor went on to get Bachelor, but it's again it's the kind of person that people

Well, sometimes I feel like people watch reality TV and obviously don't have it from our lens, but like people are like don't realize, okay, the Bachelorette is ABC and Hulu. Taylor got the Bachelorette because she's on Mom Talk. It's the same thing as Whitney going on Dancing with the Stars. Like it's all one network.

Yeah. And also these people are making money for the network, right? The network wants them on other things because it's gonna make them money.

TV. Guess who made the most money? They're making the money. Um, but my Also, sorry, are you mad at Whitney for having the Jean?

Wait, so are you mad at Whitney for being [ __ ] honest? I love that she was like, "This is what I want."

Also, sorry. Are you mad at Whitney because she was given a platform and she goes, "How am I going to capitalize it 20 times harder?"

I'm happy you agree with me on this. You've been weirded out if she like lied to everyone and then like took someone else's spot.

Also, I I wholeheartedly agree with her. And as someone who didn't even really like her the first season, I'm on her side.

Get your coins. I've been in that situation, too, where like sometimes you are so annoyed with people, you're just like, "This is my truth." And then they're mad at you for it and you're like, Here's the other thing. People that are on reality TV, I would even say specifically Mormon wives,

they had a vision for their lives. I don't think being on a reality show popped into their head. But they were given this opportunity and they thought, "Oh my god, the actual dream I had for my life, this can help me get there." Her actual dream is to be a dancer, a performer. She They're going to put her in Chicago. She's going to be

She better be in Chicago. Also, this is a girl who was born into a religion that's basically says you are like a servant of your husband.

Yeah. So for her and her husband actually I think of the whole group is the most supportive of the husbands.

So for her to get out of that we should be applauding. Okay. I'm glad that my gut was right in this because

I watched every episode of Dancing with the Stars and I'm sick to my stomach to the point that I might boy boycott it

and I'm sick. I'm I'm sick with it's people that like aren't even close to as good as her.

So, this is kind of the tea. There's this guy Andy. There's always someone on the show who's like an older guy

who's like really funny. He's a comedian, but he sucks. Oh, I know Andy. But Andy Richtor. But it's funny cuz there's a woman who's exactly his age that no one treats like that.

Because she's a woman. Because she's a woman. But everyone's like, "Andyy's so cute." And that lady, they're like, "Do better." To the other to the older woman. But anyway, um

Andy, everyone finally was like, "We have to vote this guy off. He can't dance. we have to vote him off. So, he gets voted off, but then everyone's like, "We have to vote Whitney off because she can dance and it's not fair that she's such a good dancer." And Andy goes on TikTok and goes, "Guys, first you want to vote me off cuz I can't." Then you vote off someone who can. What's going on here? Also, Alex Earl has dance training. Y

the other woman has dance training. The other one's a gymnast, so like she's move.

She's a professional at moving her body. Um, Dylan's hot. And yeah, those are like the people. Oh, and Robert Irwin, who's amazing.

But like it was supposed to be Robert Irwin, Whitney, and Alex Earl are like the top three favorites.

For Whitney to get voted off when she did before even the semi-finals. It was It was the semi-finals, but the semis are like a lot of people make the finals.

It was so upsetting. And I do have to say, you guys, as someone who's done TV, when a camera's in your face, when you're emotional, it's very hard to hold it together.

Totally. And and in that moment, I was like, we're going to see her character a little bit.

The mic goes to her and she goes, I'm so grateful for this opportunity. I met so many incredible people. I love you so much. Thank you.

A queen. And I was like, you know what? I respect her cuz she got [ __ ] And I'm sorry. I'm sorry because I know you also love the show. I would assume that the people watching Dancing with the Stars are of a certain age and certain gender and that's probably over 55, a woman and they probably have a couple sons,

but I feel like that the normal watchers of Dancing with the Stars voted for her cuz they were like, "She's an incredible dancer. I love her." But it was the Tik Tok people who watch Mormon wives that were like, "We're getting her off."

Which are women. True. Sad. It's actually so sad. I wish that we The energy we took to take another woman down. We took to take a man down.

Yeah. No. Literally any man. Any I have a list. I have a list. Hannah. And people go, "I don't like her personality. She's dancing." all these other people who are not as good dancers as her, not working as hard as her, not as fun to watch,

not well that's not as committed. She's extremely committed um she just has like presence on screen. I'm sorry. Like not all celebrities are people who get famous. Do you actually want to watch them on screen? She's on

Mormon Wives because I'm sorry, without her it's not as good. Yeah. Like I do also I hate the gang up. I hate the bullying. I hate it on screen. I hate it off screen. So like when I see everyone decide like [ __ ] Whitney when it's like give me something that she did that wasn't edited on on a TV show.

Here's the other thing. When one person is doing better than everyone else, everyone else is like we got to claw her down because

sunflower syndrome or whatever. It makes us look bad that we didn't do anything. And it's like, okay, well, sorry. You had the had the same amount of time in the day as Beyonce and you didn't get it done, honey. Like,

I'm very upset. I'm mad at people. I'm disappointed. I'm mad now. No. And now we're mad.

And like the B I used to watch The Bachelor a lot. Yeah. And then one season they go, "We're going to mix it up and we're going to have two Bacheloretses and we're going to have the men decide which one is the Bachelorette." I said,

"No, what man? Why are we giving the menision so much power?" And I said, "I can't watch this anymore. I'm not watching two women fight it out for men to like them.

I'll watch I'll watch 20 women fight it out with one man, but not that. Not the other boundaries.

I have boundaries. I have boundaries." So, anyway, I'm very upset, but Whitney already posted that she's in New York and like she's probably

I think she's auditioning for Chicago as she [ __ ] should. I selfishly just like loved watching her dance and I love people I love their dreams coming true.

Yeah, they wanted to she wanted to be on it for so long. But the truth is when the cream rises to the top

and she's going to keep going and she's going to do well. Final thing. Yeah, back to me.

Rosalia followed me on Instagram. She did and I was going to post about it but then I was like that's not cool. And then immediately I was like what would a cool person post on Instagram? And then I was like, what does Rosalia think is cool that I should post on Instagram? So, I am in a rut. I'm in a creative rut. I'm overthinking everything.

Think think about it because the last time we got into this situation, apologized to Haley. It was like a whole thing.

Well, I think like if someone famous follows you, like she's my like actually my style icon.

Wait, I had someone famous follow me and I haven't brought it up because I'm like so scared about it.

Oh no. And like because I just like I got nervous like immediately and I can't like look at it and I can't like follow that because I'm so scared. Channing Tatum. [snorts] I'm like are we getting married?

Wait, no. Channing is a giggler. I think he thinks. No, Channing is a full giggler. I know people who know people

who know he knows us. Like I got nervous. Well, he's my ex-boyfriend, right? He's your ex-boyfriend.

So, he's probably Anie's is probably like looking at your page to see my stuff.

That's what I thought. Yeah, that's typical tanning. Wait, also I went to the Blooming Dales like window reveal this year.

How beautiful. Wait, I can't believe I've never done that before. What about a ring about a ring diamond?

She was so phenomenal. Ray, we're talking about It's funny cuz Olivia Dean is blowing up like British jazz girl and I was like Ray's been

Yeah. working hard. So Ray now has a song the jazz British girls big fan actually the British girls now plus Lily Allen

I got a crush in it. No I'm like do it again. Should we change this to a British podcast?

Victoria. Oh my god. Wait. Then I was with a girlfriend who who she's blonde. Okay.

I was with a girlfriend who knows Victoria Beckham and she had said something and she was like, "Oh yeah, Victoria said that about you." And I go, "Sir, sir, what?" She's like, "Yeah, me and Victoria talked about you." And I was like,

"Okay, wait, that's like when you have a crush, you're like, "What did they say? What did they say?"

No, that's literally every [ __ ] word. I was like, "What was her tone though?" Like combo or was she just like, "Oh yeah, I know her." Or was she like, "Oh my god, I love her." She's like, "No, she thinks you're so adorable." I'm like,

"I am adorable." She's actually sweet. Spot on. That's why I checked your website. It said she's adorable. Victoria Becca. Wait, now when you go on stage, people go, "She has a big podcast." Victoria Beckham called her adorable.

Literally, that's how people should introduce me from now on. [gasps] Oh god. Anyway, um it's Thanksgiving week. I love Thanksgiving. It's like my It's my favorite.

Let's start from the beginning. What do you like about No, I love Thanksgiving, too. I can't wait. And you know what? We're thankful for giggling.
