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. My matcha loaf. Is it green?

Cuz it's wicked week. I'm just kidding. Let's actually start with her eating. I was rolling. So, we got that. We got that.

What's up, my green gigglers? Sorry. No, Hannah's chose right now to have breakfast.

That was a dry swallow. Um, I have so much to talk about today. First of all, it's Sunday.

Yeah. Wake up, glorious snowing. Text Grace at 9:00 a.m. She doesn't answer. I'm like, "Okay, she's probably brushing her teeth. She's peeing or shower maybe. She's always ready to before me,

right? And we have to be somewhere by 11:00. Yeah. So, there's two hours, but like it's 9:00.

Yeah. So, then I call her, she doesn't answer. Then I'm like, okay, I'm going to call her again cuz she might be sleeping. She might have overslept.

Yep. Then I went full mom mode and I was like, she's lying down in the street unconscious. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIND GRACE.

She went out last night. She never came. Well, do you have great location? I'm like not a location person. I don't I don't even have my husband's location.

What? No, you need to start taking down people's locations. Wait, we don't have each other's locations.

I don't have your location. You Wait a second. Wait a second. I feel like you're probably the only person that you would want to know.

I don't have your location. I always want to know your location. Sierra just randomly took my location one day.

I have Sierra's location. She likes just having it. Yeah, I check in. I check in to see where she is every once in a while. Sometimes she really throws me for a loop. One time I checked, she was in like Vancouver.

Oh, yeah. She's always like in London. No, I think having people's location is very important.

Clearly not that much cuz you never asked me for it. Well, you have a husband. You have other people that are watching you. Like, if you go missing, I'm probably not the first person that's going to notice. It's going to be someone else. And that person should have your location. That's like when Dez and I got in a fight because I put my mom down as my emergency contact.

Wait, I didn't know that. No, for what? I don't know. Some DMV stuff. And he looks at me and he was like, did you just put your mom? And I was like, yeah, she's the only adult I know.

And he was like, I'm your husband. I'm your emergency contact. I'm like, you're always with me. You're not my emergency contact.

She's also like always out of town. Yeah, you're always out of town on like speaking Mandarin to someone on the phone. You're a spy. I'm not putting your contact down.

Normalize not having your spouse be your emergency contact. When does your mom not become your emergency contact?

I think when you get married. Wait, no, no, no. My husband is not taking care of me. That's disgusting and not feminist. Also, I do have to say people like, "Oh, it's

this is I think going to start like a real a real conversation." Yeah. Like I don't think

my dad's not my emergency contact ever. Why would I put my husband? Are you D's? But you're Dez's obviously.

I told him, how long have you been doing that? You're like, do you want to put MY MOM DOWN? NO, I said that. I said, I have my mom's number if you need. She's available for all of us at all times. That's her only job on this world is to make sure in emergencies, she's there for me.

And like, should I put Lenor down? Also, side note, who's ever need an emergency contact?

Cuz I got hit by a car once and I'm pretty sure they were they didn't they didn't have an emergency contact. you know, in my phone, like if something were to ever happen to me and like the police are like, "Oh, where's her phone?" If you go in my phone, it my mom is my emergency contact in my phone. You can make that like a thing.

I You're such a nervous Nelly. I love it. You're like, "Well, I'm very prepared for this moment."

I'm like, "If there's an apocalypse, someone's going to call my mom." Can I say one thing about marriage, too? Everyone's like, "Oh, it's embarrassing to have a boyfriend."

Yeah. It's more embarrassing to be married. And then I was thinking about gay people and how jealous I am. Like when gay people get married, it's a movement.

Yes. When I get married, I'm embarrassing. Well, again, only for girls. Only for girls. Yeah. When men get married, everyone goes, "Thank God."

Yeah. Like when men get married, they're like, "Oh, he finally settled down." Like he like worked on himself. He waited.

He's going to be on track. He's like, "Yep. He's going to She's going to hold him down."

Yes. He's He was all crazy. Yeah. She's just rock. But like when we do it, it's like your life's it like expectancy is going to go down and just the

friends stop asking for your location. They're literally like bye bye [ __ ] He goes, "You're married." I'm like, "Okay, I never see my husband."

Wait, speaking of um we have so much to talk about. We have so much to talk about. Did you see that Tik Tok video of the girl getting mugged in like I think she was on vacation like in like Colombia or somewhere?

That's so your algorithm. girls getting mugged. No, I have nice cat videos. She's got her backpack on. She's with her male friend, which we can only assume is her boyfriend, husband, or fiance. Or it could be platonic. We don't We don't fully know yet.

See, I immediately went to gay, but continue. What we do know is she's got her backpack on. He's got his backpack on. They're looking at something like looks like they're looking at directions on the phone. Someone comes from around the corner, tries to snatch her phone. She starts fighting the guy like, "No, you're not taking my phone." The man she's with

runs away. Runs away behind a wall. Okay, this woman's fighting for her life. A random guy from the street, sees it's happening, runs up. I think he might have even been like on a motorcycle or something. and like pulls up, runs to her, helps her, gets the guy away from her, and then her boyfriend comes like walking back into frame like, "Are you okay?"

Talk about never being able to get wet again around him. No, I would actually murder him.

Also, side note, if I did have a gay best friend with me, I feel like gay guys are the first to be like, "Let me beat his ass."

There's also nothing I love more than being with my gay guy friends and they start acting like your boyfriend. like at the airport they're like I'll grab your I'm like [gasps]

no when you remember like wait they're really strong like sometimes Mitchell will do something and I'll be like oh my god I forget that like you're a like a man you're a man and people see you in the street they don't know you and like you're a man so they're all automatically like respecting you

it's funny cuz that's like the only thing we need men for is like to defend us in that very specific situation that may or may not happen and it's funny cuz I'm with an older man

to take our bags down from the overhead, which they never do. By the way, actually, yesterday on the flight, I'm sitting next to this man,

which I was like, "Oh no, this could go badly." Didn't speak to me the whole time. I was like, "I love this ma'am."

Yep. And then I'm waiting at the end. He stands up in the aisle. So, obviously, I can't go into the aisle to get my stuff. And he looks at me and he's like, "Do you have a bag up here?"

When I tell you I fly eight times a week, first time this has happened this year.

Really? And I said, "Actually, yes." Little do you know I had like seven bags. I was like, "Yes." And he pulled on the luggage and he goes, "What about this backpack?" I go, "That is mine, too." He goes, "What about that coat?" I go, "That's mine, too." We're laughing. We're key king. And I said, "We just brought men and women together."

How old was he? He was a You know what? He was like a nice 40-year-old. Yeah. Yeah.

Like he was Was he married? I don't think so. But he also I don't know. He just was like old school.

Did he give dad vibes? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You have to get a dad because no one

you have to get a dad. You have to get a dad because no one under the age of 25 like man is even like looking in your direction to take like they don't even that's not even running through their head of like oh maybe I should help them get a bag down. That's like not it's really guys that are 30 to 40 that you're like

hello where like past 45 they're helping more. Yeah. But but also past 50 they like can't

right. Like at some point I'm like I got it sir. You're gonna pull a a ligament. I got it.

We don't need the plane to turn around because you have to go to the doctor. Like,

also, chaos ensued on one of my flights. A woman looks up and she goes, "So, why does this always happen?"

She goes, "Someone took my bag." This is my worst nightmare. That's actually my worst fear.

I was in row two, so thank God. Like, it could only be like two people in front of us. It was just a mistake. But the person was kind of like, "Okay, well, you just have to go find them." So then I'm like locked in to the drama.

Wait, like the flight attendant was like, "Okay, we'll go chase him." She literally go, "We'll go get him, bitch." And I was like behind her like, "Let's go, girl." So I'm just following her.

Oh my god. And she's chasing this guy. And this guy is like, "No idea. It's just a black bag." And then one thing I realized, and I didn't hear it specifically, but I want to say one other thing about men. Sorry Chris.

They never [ __ ] say sorry. I say sorry if you hit me. Yeah. If you pummel me in the airport, I go I am so

That's so such a good point. You punch a woman in the face and she's like, "I am sorry for what I did."

Um men like I'll have Uber drivers or no like a driver supposed to pick me up for the airport and be like oversleep 40 minutes late. Doesn't say sorry when he gets there.

Yeah. Like and this is not just one person. This happens all the time with men. They don't say sorry and they don't use exclamation points when they're writing emails.

And you know what? Part of me respects it. I say, should I be more like that? But then I think, how am I going to not say sorry for being an hour LATE TO A PICKUP TIME TO AN AIRPORT?

I've been really PMSing like I made a mistake. Yeah, good for you. Good for you. Let it out. that [snorts] I was writing such a stern email this week that I started crying. I literally am typing and I go, [snorts] "Hey, this is like actually kind of mean. You're Sarah Jessica Parker but for mean emails." And then at the bottom of the email, I go, I hope this didn't come off as harsh and I'm full on sobbing.

Can I tell people what you do? When which is actually very healthy when Okay, so when Paige is really really mad, but she knows that she needs to not say anything.

Yeah. She will write it out like fullfledged like like novels to people. send it to me. I said, "That was a good one." And she goes, "Thank you." And then deletes it.

I write informational text messages to people I hate. Mhm. I write full like and I edit.

It's a form of journaling. I edit it. Sometimes I'll take certain paragraphs and I'll throw it in chat GPT and I'll be like, "Make that snarkier." And I'm like,

and I'm like, "Oh, yeah, that's a good one." And so I'll type out a full [ __ ] text message to someone and I won't obviously send it to that person because like I could start a I could start that like

companies would end like things would h it would be crazy. So I just send it to Hannah and

yeah and I and I'll appreciate the line and like you get it's so good. I mean, I'll do that with social media.

Like, you will not see me. Like, I will never I'm not I'm not in the comments at all. But if I do see anything that pisses me off, you just write it out. You have a little smirk cuz you're like, "That would have been funny. Pa would have laughed at that." And then you delete it and you go on with your life.

I hate people in two different senses. Like, I can hate you and I will never acknowledge that you're even alive on this planet. And that's like that's worse for you. And that means I don't hate you as much

as other people, but I really just more like want to piss you off. But then there's another kind of hate where I'm like, I literally am manifesting for you

the worst possible next 5 years. When are you getting your period? Hopefully. No, I actually think I have PMDG where I'd like my PMS because this week I've been visceral.

I was PMSing. I actually just got my period. That's why I'm so relaxed today and gorgeous. Um, my ludal phase is over. I was bloated like a pig.

Um, I swollen and I'm mad. Swollen, I'm mad. Like the week before your period, you were so ugly. So ugly.

I mean, you're gorgeous at all times, but like me, I was on vacation and I was like, that's crazy. Dez at one point was like, are you pregnant? And I was like, that you're not supposed to ask people that.

Like literally, you're not supposed to ask people that. And then I got like HIPPA violation. You're not even my emergency contact.

You're not my emergency contact. I'm just like ask me that. I got a headache. You know when it's like in your eye socket? Like it's I'm like googling like what part of my eye socket and then I'm like

like you had a migraine. But I had a migraine this week, too. But you know what's so funny? I'm insane. So I've never called it a migraine. I'm just like I have a really bad headache. Well, I classify a migraine when like after I take Advil or Tylenol and it's still there and like if I have to turn the light off, I'm like, "Oh, this is a migraine."

I have to say one thing about my Aura Ring cuz if you haven't noticed, I'm back on my Aura Ring [ __ ]

We I don't think we ever really addressed it when you started it cuz I try to just like ignore it.

I love Aura Ring. You do? Well, it's fun because if I worked out it would be more fun.

Um but I don't. It's more like me on tour being like, "How tired am I?" And you wake up and it goes you're really [ __ ] tired

looking at your own social media. Yes. But this is the problem that I do have to raise awareness about. Aura rings.

So now it'll say this thing being like you're really tired. Make sure you um relax today. So I've been using it like I haven't worked out in a month and does like you should like move your body a little. And I go uh my aura ring. So I wake up I don't even consider working out cuz I'm like my aura ring says to rest. That's how I am with the app, the pattern, which is basically like horoscope. It's like everyone sucks today but you. And I'm like, I knew it.

I freaking knew it. Period. I have an idea for Aura. Mhm. If they made a version for animals, I would get it.

Like if I could put an Aura ring on Kitty and see like on Yeah. Like what's her sleeping patterns? Like when was she awake last night? Is she hungry?

Well, that's my Furbo. like my fural lets me know like I watch what Butter's up to at night.

Yeah. Um speaking of last night and speaking of gays cuz if you guys don't know,

I was I was a gay in a past life. I am on a gay algorithm. I seek the gays approval like nobody's business. Um I think there is something healing about like going from wanting straight male approval to gay male approval.

Totally. There's so much to say about [snorts] this. I'm really happy you're bringing this up. Keep

No, you you can you can go on with this. I learned recently that there's [clears throat]

Oh, she's moving stuff around. I need I need an area. There's gays gays, girls gays.

Oh, cuz the gays gays hate women. The gays gays hate women. I rarely rarely come into contact with gays gay to the point where I I don't know it's happening to me. You were with me one specific time.

I attract gays gays. they come towards you. You attract gays gays. We're like all of my gay guy friends, they're girls gays. Like they're excited. Like and here I saw this video on Tik Tok and it was like if you're a girl's gay,

you of any other species on the planet watch women get their heart broken so many times. Not just from like relationships, just like them living

like the abortion stuff, like all of that stuff. Like if your friends Yeah. because they're in our lives with us where gays gays are like only with gay guys and they like don't really give a [ __ ] about women.

And I didn't know this was a thing until one time I was with a gay man and I was with Hannah and

I was like, "Oh, I think he's maybe being mean to me, but sometimes I'm sensitive." So I'm like, "No, like I'm just being sensitive. Like whatever." And then he said like a couple other things and Hannah was like then I saw Hannah get confused. I'm like, "No, this is Paige." Like,

no, no, no. This You can't talk like that to me. You talk like that to Paige. You're gay and this is Paige. Where's the disconnect?

No. And I'll never forget this gay man till as long as I live. Cuz I was You wrote him. You wrote him a 10 email.

I email. Also, some Giggly Squad shows, there are different girls gays, too, where I think there's like a Paige gay and a Hannah gay because I don't want to

gay men do connect with me um in a different way. Like, love sports and those girls gays are your gays.

Well, there will be some like very um funny like specific Bravo gays. Some of them do like me. Some of them are literally like the Bravo Gays have like kept me sane through my for a long time.

Wait, what? Bravo Gays. Every man on reality TV. I was just going to say they're not out.

I know. I was saying like cast classifies gays. Gays like Bravo by gays. Like we love them.

Like them. But occasionally on a Giggly Squad show, there will be like a guy a gay guy raises hand and he'll be like, "Hi Paige, look at me." and then ask you something about your outfit and I'm like oh we're in a [ __ ] fight.

But then I'll have like a gay come up to me at like um a coffee shop and be like by the way like Netflix doesn't have a lot of specials I feel like I could connect with and watching your special like I love you. And I was like can you tell Paige cuz she thinks that like

gay guys only like her. It's like kind of bad for my brand. Um so there is a we're learning that there is a range. there's a range and I was like unaware of it and then I was like, "Oh, no. I've actually experienced this."

Look, misogyny comes in all shapes and forms, all shapes and sizes. Now, which brings me to

Mhm. last night, I watched the first three episodes of Heated Rivalry. Now, has Heated Rivalry come across your desk at all?

It sure has. How so? Um, I'm an avid show surfer. You are. And if there's something new on the platforms, I'm dialed in. I know what's coming out. I have things on Netflix like saved, alert me, Emily and Paris Thursday, like we know it.

So when I was on Amazon and I saw because there was another Amazon show, I forget what I what it's called, but they were royal and they were gays and I loved that.

And so then I saw hockey players and I was like, so I'm two episodes in. Oh, I didn't know. Did you start watching after I told you last night?

No, I've been watching. Okay, sorry. I've been watching. Try to take credit. Um, before you tell your story, one little fact I want the gigglers to know, there is not one out NHL player. There might be one in the minor leagues. I think maybe there's one in like the level below.

I love that you immediately looked into this. Well, statistically, honey, statistically cannot be true.

Cannot be true. Now, let me preface this because I know we recommend a lot of stuff on Giggly Squad. And I know that y'all are listening and you're like, "Oh, let's throw it on." And you know, the holidays are coming up and you're going to be with your family. You say, "Oh, Hannah and Paige mentioned this show, Heated Rivalry."

Warning or or or oration conversation with Graham Graham. Someone brings up politics or anything homophobic, say, "Hey, I want to show you a new show for you. A holiday show. It's called Heated Rivalry." Now, this is my hot take about heated rivalry. It is everything I wanted Challengers to be and Challengers wasn't. And as you guys know, I have

Wait, were they gay in Challengers? They were like teasing it the whole time. They were gay baiting.

And in my head, I was like, if this was about like this love triangle, but the guys are actually hooking up and they're like in the closet on tour together, like I'm locked in.

Locked. So, he'd rivalry. And by the way, when I first went to Wisconsin, gold edgers,

I was unfamiliar with hockey. I'd only known like basketball players, baseball players,

I was from Brooklyn. I never met this breed of hockey man. They're pale. They're chiseled. They have bow legs. They have STDs. They have little [ __ ] up teeth. They tack like this.

Um they're all But they're all like kind of beautiful. Yeah. Well, they're like um they're very like grunt like

they're they're just like boys. dirty boys and they went to like college together and their hair is always like straggly and they grow out there and they have all these names for each other

and they have to like squat on the I was honestly I was into it cuz it's honest it is figure skating but then they like punch each other to remind themselves it's like straight

yeah it's like okay that was a triple style cow let's not pretend it wasn't anything else but a Terra Leinsky flip let's be serious no they literally do a triple sour and they're like, "I'm straight." [snorts]

So, this is also just a wild concept that there's a sporting event where they're like, "Yeah, if they want to punch each other, we're okay with it. As long as it doesn't go too far, like no." And then assault

at any point a guy will just It is actually like a form of because if anyone did that in any other

It's a form of theater. It's like, "Oh, he's he's gotten angry." Like, if a girl did that, imagine if middle of a podcast I started punching you. That would be a problem. But no, it's it's good entertainment.

That's what I mean about like gang violence. It's like, guys, just go to therapy. Talk it out.

But also, [clears throat] you know, these guys get a beer afterwards, which is the even crazier thing. Or

they might be having sex. So, a lot of lovers quarrels could be happening on the ice and we don't.

That's why they've been fighting the whole time. They've been fighting because they're like, "Did you look at that guy's ass? [screaming]

We're figuring everything out." Now, as someone when I tell you guys, I was not a Jersey chaser

cuz I was an athlete. So, it was more athlete on athlete crime, but like in theory, like I just loved athletes my whole life. All I want day is athletes. I've never looked at a poet. I've I've dabbled in a musician, but he did play sports

and that was a mistake. Yeah. Um and we learned and we grew. We learned and we grew. I'm obsessed with athletes because as you guys know I'm very strong and athletes make me feel tiny

and like just adorable and little around them and they're like you're so tiny. I'm like I know. [gasps] So then watching this

made me question everything cuz in my head I'm like well I'm just like the athletes on campus are the most manly masculine straight dudes. And look, have I heard through the grapevine in real life that this may or may not have happened a couple times? Yes. But now I'm I'm looking at everyone differently.

Yeah. I'm looking around at every dude and I don't Chris, I don't trust you. Like if I was a dude, I'd be [ __ ] my friends. Like girls is so much more like you got to, you know, make them trust you, right?

It seems very complicated. If you are just a horny dude, [ __ ] your friend. Leave us alone.

Yeah. Leave us alone. Go jerk off with your friend. Now, I I'm afraid I didn't even preface this correctly. Heated rivalry is about gay hockey players. And when I tell you, how is it 2025? Sorry, I'm very passionate about this.

And we haven't yet had a like mainstream TV show of like a male gay love story that is so

I'm locked in. Yeah, I'm locked in. Also, by the way, there is it is I don't want to be like, "Oh, it's gay porn." But like, if you're watching a show where straight people hook up, it's a lot of sex.

So, just like warning people also, but there's no dicks. One point for like the male loneliness epidemic. Like obviously like they're trying to blame it like all on the girls and like we're mean to them now and stuff.

I mean, but like for me, maybe it's because the men can't create a space in which they're safe with each other. Like there was this video on Tik Tok and it was like this girl went up to like a certain amount of women and it was like if you could move to a world where it was just all women are you going and every woman was like [ __ ] yeah like I'm going. And then they asked the same question to men like would you move to a world that was all men? And every man was like absolutely not. That's insane. I Why would we ever do that?

But then all the men do is complain that they didn't can't hang out with their friends enough. But it's the gay ones. Well, mind you, like an all female world, I don't think would work either because like the amount of text messages I'd probably have to send is insane.

SMS would explode. But in like just a lowlevel thinking of it, we enjoy being with each other for long periods of time because we feel safe with each other.

They don't even feel safe enough to be like, "Hey, I think that guy's hot." Could you imagine?

What's great in that show is you they can't communicate with each other and he just keeps saying, "Fuck you, bro. [ __ ] you. Like that's how they talk. And then I'm like, that's literally how the guys always talk.

If I one day was like, wait, I actually think I'm attracted to women and I think I'm a lesbian. You're the first person I'm telling

you'd marry me. Well, because if you were like, whoa, whoa, whoa. So now I'm two people's emergency contact. Like what? Like no, you're none. When are you going to figure it out?

No. Well, we when men hang out, they have trouble express. I hope that men Chris Do you have Do you have one guy that How long have you been friends with your best friend?

My oldest best friend is probably like sixth grade. Okay. But I'm probably more closer with people in recent years.

Okay. When's the last time you had like a sentimental like deep where you were like, "Man, that was a really deep conversation with soand so."

Somewhat often. Really? Yeah. Somewhat often. Chris is like like Chris is our dialed in.

Yeah. Chris, how old are you again? 28. 28. So, you are technically Gen Z or No, you're on the cusp.

It's like right on the cusp. You're like an older guy. When was the last time you complimented your guy? Like,

oh, that's tough. Like, seriously. And non-ironically like years. But actually, Paige and I don't compliment each other.

That's not true. I'm just kidding. But like the way I compliment you is like I'll make fun of you and they'll be like,

"Yeah, but that's Well, that's but like when you walk in somewhere and like you look at him and you look so good."

Well, yeah, cuz then you're obsessed with me. And then when you don't say anything, I like have to go home and reflect on my decisions. It's a whole thing. But I digress. Um,

did you have another point? This heated rivalry is so good. Also, I love that in film and TV,

traditionally in the arts, I feel like gay characters were so stereotyped. When there's a gay guy, it's just the gay best friend. That's the only gay guy there is. And he doesn't have his own storyline. and he's, you know, [ __ ] and girly and that's it. So, just um them showing these guys

and they're not acting in like a theatrical stereotypical gay way, which by the way, being a girly gay is perfect. It's just there isn't one kind of gay, which we've discussed earlier in this podcast.

Well, like they're not out, so they are almost like cosplaying, not Yeah. And so it's actually like there's also an element to it where it's like sad where you're like wait

I wish you could just like be together and like tell everyone like and it's funny cuz at first cuz I'm not used to seeing it cuz I don't watch male gay porn.

You don't? [clears throat and laughter] Well, so I heard from the lesbian community, lesbians love male gay porn.

And lesbian correspondents, message me if I'm wrong because I don't want to have false information out there, but some lesbians. It's like why

I've actually I've never watched why straight girls like girl on girl porn cuz they're so like removed from it. Like it's almost like

we still haven't been able to figure this one out. But lesbians don't want to watch two girls pretend to hook up. where straight girls were like, "Okay,

they're pretending." What do you mean they're pretending? I know. She squirted.

She really liked that actually. But having at first when I've Wait, that is actually really funny. I've never even thought to look for two guy gay men.

No, cuz I'm like, what am I going to do here? No, I've never clicked. Also, it seems

I never even see it. Aggressive. I don't also Yeah. Like I don't Two dicks. That's a nightmare. Yeah.

So then but so watching it when they first start kissing I I I think I got like a visceral reaction cuz I'm so not used to seeing it. And at first I was like And then by the second episode I was like put your finger in his butt. Let's do this. I'm locked in. And it was like very hot.

Well, it also kind of shows a like part of it that we kind of forget that anal is like a thing. No, I'm just kidding. No, in 2025 there's so many men that are not out and not just because I've dated half of them, but because like I look in the world and it's very sad.

Think about it. All girls are gay. Totally. All girls are gay. We have to come out as straight.

Yeah. We say, "Oh, I'm straight. I'm sorry. I'm straight." Well, we we are embarrassing.

We're comfortable enough with our sexuality to be able to say like, "That girl is so hot." or like watch gay lesbian porn. Like I've never heard a straight man say like I watch guy on guy porn cuz we're out here just being like yeah obviously I watch two girls watching a man is

we don't know. We don't know but it but bottom line is in 2025 where gay marriage is legal and there's like

I mean we hope we hope we hope continuing that there's still men that feel like they can't come out.

I also think there's a lot of men that are just like on the spectrum. Yeah. Not

where they're like maybe I'm by. Yeah. like where sexuality is all over the place and with girls it's more freeing and socially acceptable.

Also, do you know how many girls you see on the street holding hands that you're just like they're so cute best friends but they're dating?

Speaking of just Oh, I watched the Taylor Swift documentary. I watched the first two episodes, too. We We are We never watch the same things. This week is like a miracle, you guys.

H happy holidays. Even just saying you're impressed by her is like such a low level. Uh I and look, I like Taylor Swift. I when I was in high school, like when that album, first album came out, like the girls, we just got our license. It was life-changing. Obviously, like as time has gone on, I feel like I've missed a couple albums. I wasn't like as in tuned, but like now as she's like getting engaged and all this stuff and this documentary, she's so impressive. It's actually mind-blowing. Well, when you follow a celebrity just through like other people's concepts of them and tweets and random photos and narratives, so much is made up.

Yes. And obviously this documentary like is made by her and she's putting forward something, but you can't deny what she's showing which is first of all, she's a genius.

Genius. Can we just say she's a genius? Like if she was a man, everyone would be like talking about her like literally like like um a philosopher. Like

she's a genius. Yeah. And then three and a half hours on Paige and I thought about three and a half hours.

I was like I did you see the one part where she was like I'm sorry I'm just like her mom comes in and she was like I'm just like a little like she wants to say anxious. Yeah. She's have I all I could think of was like do you take beta blockers? Like I wanted to know. I mean, seeing her get home from the show, take off her makeup, and be like, "Um, like I'm just going to watch TV for 8 hours."

Like, I can't come down. We were like, "We're Taylor Swift." I felt like Taylor Swift, but think about how much more she's doing. I die. I don't die on tour.

I love that she was like, "I don't remember choreography." Um, so and I go, I love, but it's She's normalizing.

Don't count to me. That's disgusting. I'll go by the word. Perfect. It's She's like, I know what my strengths are. I'm really [ __ ] good at what I do. And then I hire people to do the right things around me. And then like the fact that she trusts the people around her so much that she's like, I need to step it up for them. She's like, I have the best people in the business. And then also, I thought it was crazy when um she was like, look, if the tour makes more money than projected, then that means everyone gets bonuses, which like when you hear that said, you're like, oh yeah, that makes sense. Like it grows more money, whatever. But to then find out that like that happens all the time where the tour will make more money than projected and not the majority of artists are not tipping their crew like extra

I think speaks volumes. Well there look there's two types of people in the world probably more but one kind is like I earned this. This is me hoard all the money [clears throat] and I and all these people are so lucky to [ __ ] be here. Yeah.

And then there's people who are like, "Oh my god, I wouldn't be here without all these people who left their families." Also, the happier they are.

It it starts from the bottom. Like if the person driving you is content and everything comes up from that, everyone is happier. And I do think what's cool about Taylor is you see like she knows she can make an impact.

And [clears throat] like what they say in Spider-Man, with great power comes great responsibility. like she knows that she can change someone's life and she she does. Um,

so the documentary is fascinating and I'm upset I never was able to go to the show.

I went to the one at Metife and it was incredible. I mean like she is a performer like and I've been to a lot of concerts before and you're like oh my god she's such a cute little dancer and she's so good. But Taylor is giving a full Broadway there's no other way to describe it. It's a full Broadway theatrical performance. She's telling a story. She's talking to you. She's bringing on guests. I mean, three hours. I I couldn't even tell you a diff another concert I've been to that was over two hours.

I can't do anything for three hours. No. No. And how she did it every single night and then

and focusing to go where she went like 220 places or something. Yeah. I do love her relationship with her mom.

I love her relationship with her mom. I also think that she's so mentally strong. Like to be able to meet with those families where they had children that were killed and then for her to be able and she's crying hysterically. And then to be able to be like, "No, compartmentalize it. Now I have to go on stage." I'm like, "I can't."

Also, a lot of people would be like, "I'm not meeting with the families before the show. It's going to [ __ ] me up. Can we find a different time?" All I was thinking was before the show she probably does didn't have time. And also I think that she also was like I need to do this. I need to see this.

And then did you see when she gets off stage she walks off stage straight into the car.

Like there's no she's not changing. She's not stopping. She's just going and as someone who sees a lot of people tour. Some people like tour as a party.

I don't get that. And they have like 20 people with them at all times. Yeah. And there it's it's just a different kind of motion. She's an athlete.

Treat it like a sport, which is what we try to do. There's a lot of jobs that I would say that like men take and just make alcohol events

but then they try and say they're working. You're like, "Nope, that's just you and your friends are getting drunk." So,

men invented meetings. Men invented me. Yeah. Have you ever watched Mad Men? Yeah. all they do is have scotch and then like talk about the secretary for 20 minutes and then be like okay

and it's like why is there a male loneliness epidemic? It's like guys, one thing I have learned to motivate the gigglers is like

now that I'm in my 30s, you know, you deal with you're not like entry- level job anymore. So, you talk to people that are like high up at companies.

So scary, you guys. No one knows what they're doing. No one. No one knows what they're doing. Like, I hope this makes you feel better. Oh, my recent flex though with

unless you work and let's be very clear, unless you're like a lawyer or a doctor. Yeah. that type of profession you guys are

unless you're honestly a woman in the field. But like there's just a lot of people that have just like been at the job for a while.

They're there like they're not like they're not doing something crazy that you can't do. Yeah.

Have some belief in yourself. [gasps] You were mentioning emails with men putting exclamation marking emails. Now, by the way, I'm not part of a company, so don't do what I do cuz I like I'm an entrepreneur.

Yep. My recent flex in emails is like no grammar. Have you noticed? So it looks like I'm so cuz I actually am busy.

So like I I respond like I'm so busy but I'm just barely getting the response out like like no period

email. You're literally on every email I'm on. So I'll just be like you know when I see Hannah respond I go oh Hannah

she respond. So this is I say this works thank you and it'll be like all undercase no period. I don't even put a space until my signature. Just this works thank you Hannah Burner. Yeah,

cuz it's just like we're we're I'm not like, "Hello, thank you for regarding my last email." No, we don't.

When I try and do that, is money, but then after I send that text me or that email with no punctuation or I'm just like blunt ask the question, I'm like, "Everyone thinks I'm a bitch."

No, I don't think that. I think it's funnier though if you like have bad grammar and you're trying to be like sincerely

when you're trying to be like more professional. It doesn't make sense. I I left that when I left.

Do you know why? Cuz if your email has multiple paragraphs, I'm not reading it.

Also, sue me. I'm throwing in an LOL every once in a while. You love I love an LOL.

You And you love what Hannah says. LOL. Cuz they're like, "Paige, Paige, what do you think?" Whatever. Hannah said, "Lol."

Well, look, millennials are running stuff now, so we can say LOL. Absolutely. It's mandatory.

Can I say one more thing about gay men? Yes. It's my favorite topic. Jonathan Bailey, who's the most handsome person in the world, um is the first gay, sexiest man alive. And I think we're just acknowledging that first of all, all men are probably gay.

Yeah. So, we might as well pick an outgay man now. Yes. I'm pretty sure we said last sexiest man alive that it should have been Jonathan.

Jonathan Bailey. He's so attractive. He's so cute. Do you see when he really thinks something's funny and he like falls over? I'm like, that's adorable.

Are you like attracted to him? Like, would you have Yeah. Okay. I'm also attracted to um pretty much everyone in Heated Rivalry.

Oh yeah. Who do you like more? Specifically the um Don't say the Russian. No. Okay.

You know I don't like a blonde. You hate a blonde. Oh, you like the the hairy one.

Yeah, cuz he looks a little Italian. He's um I love him. Is he gay in real life? You think

he is? Which is crazy. Good for them, but bad for he's he's Canadian. I looked him up. By the way, the Russian guy in Heated Rivalry was every single one of my Russian coaches growing up.

Is he gay in real life? I don't know. They haven't They haven't said. It's like kind of part of the allore.

Oh, interesting. So, I just grew up with like handsome young Russian and Ukrainian tennis coaches in Brooklyn who like looking back now I'm like they were definitely hung over. They were partying, having a good time, but I was they would just yell at me and I was 9 years old and I'd be like, "Can I have water, Sergey?" And they'd be like, "No, bend your knees." But they were all so hot. So, I got some PSD PS PTSD DSTP watching it. Um, but my final thing about hot gay men, the reason I like them so much is cuz they are my type and that

they don't like you. They don't like me. Yeah. They don't they are so disgusted by me and I'm like, I love that.

Yeah. I stand around them, they're like, can you please just walk away? Yeah. I don't know what's attracted me to all my gay boyfriends. I think just like hair and jawline.

I think they're attracted to you cuz they want to be you. And then you like attention.

That's what it is. I attract them. Yeah. And then you like people who like you. So next thing you know, you're just in it.

I had a fun time in Mexico. Thank you for asking. Oh, sorry. Yeah. No, I'm just kidding. It was literally 3 days.

Yeah. Have you ever been able to go on a vacation and not have to leave early from work?

It's hard. Yeah, it's hard cuz we don't we don't have um we don't love [clears throat] work life balance on this podcast, but

I did have to leave to do this like shoot on Friday that's like my face is in it. So I'm like this is perfect. Like I'm going to get a tan

and I'm really excited. And then Dez goes, "Let's go snorkeling." By the way, never been snorkeling before. I'm from Brooklyn. We don't snorkel.

Snorkel. Snor. It's not sky. It's not skydiving. It's not scuba diving. It's not scuba diving. It's actually

It's so funny because it you're underwater. Like it's it's intense and you have the little

Yeah. You're breathing underwater, but if someone and you feel like you are scuba diving, but if someone looks from the outside, you're just lying in like the in like the beginning of the water.

Yeah. Um just like flapping around. Yeah. But it it's it was so beautiful. Did it just the two of you or was like a group of people?

It was just the two of us. We just went out and there were all these different colored fish and there was one p fish that was so page coated. It was like navy with these beautiful polka dots.

Oh my god. It was like polka dot perfectly. I was like every other fish was like these bright neon colors and this was like navy polka dot just like and it had these like cute lips. I was like oh my god there's Paige. I kept going page fish.

She's like sorry I'm on holiday. She's on holiday. Um so I get out of the water and we take our her goggles off. Sorry I don't know words. Yeah.

And he has like a mark on his forehead. And I'm like, "Haha, you have a mark." And he's like, "So do you." And we go, we're eating and he's like, "By the way, like the mark on your forehead's like not going away." I'm like, "That's weird." And we get back to the hotel and I look I busted a blood vessel in my forehead cuz I I snapped it too tight on my face cuz I was so afraid I was going to be drowned. So I was like, I need to make sure we're going underwater. So I made it too tight. Sure. You can't then like popped a blood vessel.

Pop your [ __ ] eyeball. No, I know. I popped a blood vessel in the middle of my forehead where like it was like all like it it

Did you have a picture? No, I was like that upset. It didn't I'll look and then I'll put in the newsletter, but like I start freaking out cuz I'm like I can't show up to this gig with a a huge red dot. Like I tried to put makeup on it. It wasn't working. And it wasn't a bump. Like it didn't hurt. It just something popped under my skin and it was like leaking.

Awesome. Perfect. I love vacation. What it does say? You're like, "Ah, this is a perfect time to emergency contact. Do anything." You're like, "Fine, I'll call my mom."

He's like, "How the [ __ ] did that happen to you? It didn't happen to me." That's so you, though. That is so

If it would happen, it it happened. Also, I like I'm so delusional. Mhm. By like the third day, I was convinced that I was fluent in Spanish. Like, you know, the first day you're like, "Oh my god, I can't speak Spanish." And third day, I was like, "I know what they're saying."

Well, people say that you learn the fastest when you're immersed in it. I literally was like,

I know because they're fighting. Interesting. [gasps] I I fully knew. I was like, "Well, this is my problem with Spanish.

I was trying to learn grammar. Apparently, you don't learn grammar first. You learn the words grammar last. But in school, they teach you grammar first. That's I digress. That's just

Did you see Kristen Stewart doing that interview being like, "Hey, let me ask you a question. You ever heard of a woman being a method actor?"

No. It's disrespectful and weird. It's so weird. It just says like, "You have nothing going on at home. You can stay this person, you freak."

Like that's like when Austin Butler like became Elvis and like he's still Elvis. Well, also it's definitely not ideal. Like it definitely throws everyone off on set when like you're at, you know, Crafty and you're like, "Excuse me, can I please have some more of the cheeks?"

It's like you're not MC Jagger in real life. Like this is a biopic. Chill out. Like if I was married to an actor and he came home and he was that same character.

I'm like, "You're not a toddler. We're not playing these pretend games anymore.

I have to move out." I do think too with acting which is kind of scary like you know Heath Ledger with the Joker.

Yeah. They say like the way you think you know affects your life and if you're in like a really dark character and you're constantly having these like negative thoughts it does affect who you are as a person. Yeah, it people have had like really dark but I was just so happy she said that because it's like

I love her because we had had that whole conversation where like men can talk so passionately about like their careers and about their jobs and like women can't because it's like but you have kids like the same thing with like the Whitney Lev like but what are your kids doing? It's like what? Well, I was I've been talking on stage about having kids and I'm like coming up with all these reasons why it could be difficult. And I literally just been splirting out. I'm not a male comedian.

I can't just have a family. No. No. I can't just have a family and then joke about my wife and kids on stage every night while my wife is like sewing her butthole and her vagina together again.

Like there people really don't talk about it. Like I'm type A. I love a plan. I love like you know sitting down and being like what's the next five years? But like women have to do that.

Yeah. Like we have to plan our children because you're you all turn everyone turns against you. It's like oh and I'm also be planning on like I'm literally planning my own downfall. I'm digging my own grave. It's very like out ofbody experience

and I do think it's important we talk about it cuz we are like second generation of any women having to deal with this. I called my mom crying

when I realized I have your emergency. Am I calling my husband crying? You have to test her like is she going to be perfect? She picked up.

No, but I obviously was like she's like how are you? I'm like good. She's like are you sure? I'm like actually. But I basically was crying about like that I think I'm like might become a mom one day

and I was so confused as to why I was crying. You know when you don't know why you're crying and then I was like looking into it and they were like, "Oh, you're grieving your past self."

Yeah. Like I was literally crying over the death of my identity that I am now that I still am, but I know I'm going to lose.

I had a man one time asked to move in together and I immediately started crying. Like no,

but it's also it's not sad cuz I'm going to be that. It's just sad that you you're not going to be what you were.

Realize that it at some point it was going to be over. And it might be 100% better, but it's just still like sad to lose any

probably will be. Yeah. It's just scary. And I know male comedians whose wife have had a baby and the next day they're on stage working out material like leaving their wife at home.

The same as like graduating college and then you're going into the real world and you're like, "It probably will be better, but this is all I know." And what do you mean we don't have a mixer on Friday night? Like it's just like it's a different

You're so Lwoods. You're so Lwoods. But you know what? I want to say something positive. It motivates me.

Yeah. Like seeing like the Ali Wongs and Well, it also it's like how is there even a debate that like men or women that men are better than women? It's like guys, we have kids. I actually said this earlier to someone. I can't wait for Gen Z to be at the age where they're having children cuz they're going to get some things done. Them with their tight tight boundaries and they have a headache they must leave. I'm so pumped for them to get into the position of like people being rude because their moms or like their jobs changing because they're pregnant cuz I can't wait for them to be like

a man could literally never So you're not telling me anything? Well, yeah. I face this thing where it's like, okay, I can just accept that other male comedians in standup will ascend past me after I have kids. And but then I stop and I go, actually, no, I'm going to keep my foot in these [ __ ] next

because it's it's going to be difficult and it's going to be hard and I am lucky because I have a mom who's going to help me.

Women can't even post their like after baby body without the internet being like, "Fuck you." Like if you post your after baby body and you like lost weight, people are like, "How dare you?" Not the norm. But if you post it and it's like and you didn't lose weight, it's like, "Well, why don't you think about your health?" Like, there is no right thing for women.

Also, why I feel like female comics are so interesting, like why people want to hear Leanne Morgan talk, cuz I'm like, I want to hear a woman who's had who has three grandchildren and three babies and has dealt with her husband and like that's fascinating to me. Like I don't want to hear another dude like make like sly comments about his wife that you know is like so annoyed with him. Like you're not like she's annoyed with you. You're not the cool one on stage right now. She's like oh he's doing his little jokes. Speaking of boundaries, have you seen Tik Tok this drama about solid core?

Like a little bit. Do you know that I live right next to a solid core which apparently it's like Pilates but

I would I don't even dare look at it. Apparently, it's Pilates, but like super intense. I'm scared and I'm working on like loving myself, so I haven't been going.

Um, so this guy who, by the way, needs to get casted in reality TV. Like, if someone doesn't cast him, they're bonkers.

He's this gay guy in Darian, Connecticut. I first saw him cuz he was just talking about what the Equinox Steam Room is like and just talking about how married men were trying to hook up with him the whole time, which we have a theme for the pod today.

Wait, the Equinox Steam Room downtown in Darian, Connecticut. Oh, because yeah, it's it's all the equinoxes. Equinox. He basically was like this guy fully was like flirting with him for 6 months, showing him his dick, has a wife. Um,

so he shows up to he clearly loves Solid Core more than anything. He and he shows up at Solid Core at 6:00 a.m. The instructor's not there,

but the door he has like a login, the door's open. He goes in and he's filming it and he like starts giving himself a private lesson at Solid Core cuz he loves Solid Core. And then the instructor comes in late and they're just laughing, whatever. He posts the video. Salor starts freaking out like, "Can you take it down?" His friend messaged them.

So, why are they freaking out? Cuz he was in there by himself. Yeah. And it makes them look unprofessional.

And he literally then films a video being like, "Fuck you, Solid Core." for like telling my friend to tell me to take it down. You're so unprofessional. Goes off. Then next day shows up at the Solid Core class,

the 6 a.m. class, filming it. And you heard the lady be like "Hey." That's all I saw. Like, "Hey." And then you said, "Sorry about the video."

Yeah. He goes, "Sorry about the video." And then I just heard her say, "Well, my probation." And I was like,

I think so. She was going to say, "Well, my probation um makes me apologize to you or something." So, he's in like a full feud with this solidore, but he keeps showing up cuz he loves Salicore so much. He's like, "They could punch my mom in the face and I would still show up to the solidore class." So, everyone's like,

"What is it? Is it like It's hardcore Pilates." Okay. But so you're not like running or anything?

No, no, no. It's Pilates, but just like more intense. Yeah. So, yeah. I don't want

people in the comments are so funny cuz they're like, I know I feel like this is a solid core ad. I just can't put my finger on it.

But then everyone's like, I want to have the boundaries and the how he's dealing with um

well, he's pleaser. He's dealing with conflict like so well. But the thing is, he is just

he is a man. Yeah. which helps. But everyone's just watching how he's walk just walks into a cl like I would move out of the state.

Yeah. If I got if anyone's mad at me. Well, because if it was a girl that would be girl on girl crime, a mean girl, a mean girl. He's hilarious. He's a star. Put him on reality TV. But yeah, the misogyny of men getting away with so many horrible things. and a girl will do one thing that's like off color or like something every girl's done and we're like

she's a monster. She's a monster. She's So anyway, you're all perfect. We love you guys so much. We do have some announcements coming up, but just stay posted.

I can't wait to hear them. I guess I'll see it on email.
