Hello my grand giggles. Oh how fancy. We're having fun with character acting.
I love it. I love it. How are you? Wait, I feel like I haven't seen you. Have I not? No. I've been in Irvine, California. Doing what? Doing stand-up shows. You've been crushing. Oh my God. Stop. Thank you. I want to just say in your clips, your hair has been looking really good because you know, like sometimes I watch your clips with no sound because it's like 3 a.m. and I'm contemplating like so many other decisions I've made in my life.
You're like, because I have eight screens open. No, truly. And I've been noticing your hair. You know, some people make comments, obviously, when I, I don't not brush. Okay, sometimes I don't brush my hair. It's just that I air dry it. So it looks crazy. And then if you don't wake up with the back of your hair going straight up, you'd have a good sleep. So it's giving haters, like it's giving like your jelly that like I had like four hours of rem last night and you didn't.
So, if you see my hair standing straight up in the back, just know she's well rested. Can I say something? I was at dinner with Sierra a couple nights ago, and she said something to me a couple summers ago that I never forgot. And she said that white girls don't do the back of their hair. And I said, let me think, let me think. And you just say, Hannah, you don't have to call her white girl.
And I'm sitting at dinner and I touch the back of my hair and she looks at me and she goes, you didn't do the back of your hair. And I go, it's none of my business. It's literally, it doesn't come across my desk. How would the back of my hair come across my desk? That's like when you're doing your own like fake tan, do you do your back?
Okay, this is another reason why I don't need a man. You know that my wingspan is crazy. True. I can do my own spray tan on my back and I can unzip and zip anything. You're like an octopus. An Italian octopus. I truly am. I'm Kalamad, Fred Kalamad.
I also, okay, wait, kind of a big deal, but like, it's such a big deal, but also not a big deal at all. That's my favorite kind of deals. But it's the least important huge deal. So, Des and I have been like, auditioning a little bit for stuff, and he had like an audition, and I was giving my two cents as his wife and manager, as his wife, a jerk. And he was like, why don't you talk to me when you get one callback? Like maybe one callback.
And I was like, okay, first of all, who knows? I could be getting call back for all these auditions I did the last couple of months. They're sifting through, it takes time. Right, they're watching tape. Also, they probably saw and were like, wow, that was a lot to take in. I need to process that, go back. And they'd probably star her. We have another project for her that would be perfect. They were like, wait, I have a much bigger role in mind. So I was like, that's not even the case. And he's like, you'll know pretty quickly. And I was like, that's made up.
So he literally that day was like, talk to me when you get a callback. But that's our humor. That's a little nagging. So I get a callback, but I didn't know it was a callback, because it said, like, directors, something. Like, they called it something different. So in the email, I thought I was just, like, having to meet with, like, a director for, like, a coffee or something. And they were, like, no, it's a callback. So I called Des, and I was, like, go fuck yourself. But I get this callback. I'm so excited.
For two roles, love it, an assistant, and like a marketing assistant in this thing. And like, when I tell you, it was like less than two lines, less than two lines, and I'm trying to memorize it. But you know when it's like, you almost wish it was more lines, because it would help you try hard. It's like when you're late somewhere, because you're so close.
It's like when you're like, oh, I have a quiz on Friday. So I'm not going to think about it till like Friday morning. And then you get to the quiz and you're like, oh, I should have thought about it like a couple days prior. But like it was just a quiz. It wasn't a test. Then the auditions in New Jersey. So I have to like drive to New Jersey. Oh, who's calling me? Oh, my husband, he knew we were talking about him. He knew. Mom is working. OK.
So I get there, oh yeah, and the end of it, they said you could do a one minute improv on your character, so I was like, that's where I'm gonna shine. That's so crazy, that would make me, I'd need seven beta blockers, that's the equivalent of someone saying, and what's a fun fact about you? Improv for one minute, get the fuck out of my face.
That's just me living life. That's me at a Starbucks in the morning. I'm like, can I have a bed? I want to see if you think this is funny. Give me one minute.
That's all I do. But the funny thing is, is I literally fuck up the first line, which is so funny. But I get it back. Also, I did take a beta blog. Because you must. You must. Also, this is the day after Radio City, mind you. You're a masochist. To go to New Jersey waiting two hours. So I do my lines.
And they were like, thank you. And I look at them and I go, wait, do you want to see my improv? Because in the audition I didn't do a one minute. They were like, no, no. And the guy was like, oh, did you prepare an improv for this two line character? And I was like,
Yes, I actually came up with a whole background. Her mom, her mom was, you know, she has a tough relationship with her mom. Of course. And I came up with a whole world of this assistant. I was like, should I look at the camera? And they were like, we don't care where you look. It doesn't matter.
I'm like, bitch, if I were to come all the way to New Jersey, which is cross-country at this point. Truly. I'm going to commit to the bit. Wait, this is so funny. This is how we're so similar, but yet so different. When I'm trying on outfits, or I'm packing to go somewhere, I put on an outfit, I'm immediately improving. I'm like, who is she? Where is she going in this outfit? What's her vibe? Yeah, what's your facial expression when you're waiting?
Yeah, like what's the story she's telling with this outfit? Like I give her another name and it helps me put outfits together. I have to detach myself. She's a different character. However, I did see a TikTok saying that when you shop, you should, unless you're you, you should try to avoid shopping for like,
the idea of you or aspirational versions of you, because you're never gonna wear those clothes. I shop, I'm someone different. I'm like, oh, if I wore, so it's like, try to shop for the person you are in that moment.
Well, she's usually depressed and on the couch. So that's, that's a lot. So when you have depression, we have a problem. What? We got an email last week saying we have to record our audio book and you responded great. And I was like, you can't read.
especially because last podcast, I was like literally hacking up along. Grace had to cut out all of your cops. And those were like deep, deep. They were coming from like a dark place in your soul. There's a cough going around New York City. I'm like, how did I get it? I don't leave the home. No, but I got it. And I literally just, here's the other thing. Let's just talk about being sick for a second. The remedies for being sick are
I'll never not be old school with it. Like what my mom did when I was sick. Like I'm not buying all, I mean I buy all the medicine, I take it all and I'm like this doesn't work. The only thing that has cured my sickness is Vicks. I fucking love Vicks. I'll put Vicks all over my fucking body. Put it on my pussy. And gargling with salt water. Yep.
And that's basically free and minding my own business. I've been trying to mind my own business. I really, it's like so crazy. I see things online. I'm like, who is she? That's not me. That's not my business. I'd be like, why would the algorithm ever show me that that has nothing to do with me? I'm like, who? She said, what? No, I say something. I forget. You're my best friend.
No, do you see things and think I didn't tell you things because I never wanted to do that. No, no, no, no, no. Okay, good. But I do like to see people's lenses of how they describe something. Even that article, what page was doing behind the scenes on a radio city, I was like, what did we do?
And I clicked it and I said, romanticize it for me because I'm pretty sure we were, you know, just scared. Never trust me in an article because I've blacked out. I'm like, what do we do? I do have to say, I never hate myself more than the way I sound in a quote on an article because there's no tone. And every now and then I'll see a sentence and it's in quotes, which I said, and I'm just like, I sound.
I don't know that girl. Stupid. I sound uneducated. Yeah, if they put all the likes in it. I'm like, oh, why did you do that? And sarcasm doesn't work. It doesn't hit. I learned that, though, in a people article way back when when they were asking me about my husband, she was like, you're with someone who's in his 40s. Like, what is that like? And I was like,
Every day I'm afraid he's gonna die and the headline was like Hannah afraid her husband's going to die and Then we got a pre nap. No Then we got life insurance things have been pretty good so far We have to get this audiobook figured out though because one I feel like the girls are like the audio It has and we have to put her all into it like we have to speak every sentence from our hearts, but like mm-hmm
Do you think you can read off a page and not fuck it up? I think I can do it because also one of my dreams is to be in an animated movie just as a voice. You might actually thrive in this environment. I think I might thrive in this environment and I've always seen myself as someone like as a character in Stuart Little or Paddington.
Whenever you see those behind the scenes, famous people acting it out, you're like, I want the teammate. I love it. Yeah, and I love that how fun you can be in sweatpants and film a movie. If one day we get older and we have kids, should we make a cartoon called Little Gigly Girls, and it's us running around somewhere.
Here's the thing about us. I truly do feel like we are just full 360 women. And I do feel like when we have children, our careers will grow with what they're doing.
And I do see a world where we create like a TV show for little girls. That the moms will know all the little inside jokes that we're doing for the moms. Yes. Yes. And who better to raise two girls than two girls that men hate? You know?
I've been so excited to have a daughter the past couple weeks. I'm just like, you know what, I'm up for the job. So I'm so happy you brought this up because I've been so terrified because stand-up comedy is a male-dominated field. And while my career is gaining momentum, my eggs are losing momentum.
And I'm competing with these fucking men. And if I have kids, I'm afraid I'm going to fall behind them. And then I was thinking about other careers that I think women would dominate if the last hundreds of years, we weren't just forced to procreate before we wanted to.
First of all chefs chefs being it's giving it's giving like it doesn't make sense that Not that it's so male dominated when so many women are amazing at cooking
Yeah, isn't there a whole thing that we belong in the kitchen? So then why don't you get out? Period. Period. We always talk about this, the FBI. Have you never called your dad when you lost something? Never once, not once. You're like, you know who'll know where this is? Who can find it? My dad. Never.
Oh yeah, then there was the pilot stuff, which I'm not going to get into. And then I was thinking, why are we being suppressed? I'm just working out thoughts with you guys. Yeah. But I wrote down, I think men are worried about women being more successful in them. Because not because they'll lose power, but because then men will have to start being hot.
No, I know. Just think about it. Most guys are ugly and they're like, oh shit, if girls make their own money, then I have to start going to Pilates. I know so many hot girl guys that it's actually crazy.
like no why are there so many men on my like for you page and like my instagram stories waking up going to the gym posting it posting their coffee and then just like chilling the rest of the day but pretending that they do stuff it's so cringy to me it's
The men have tried to take our hot girl role. You don't belong in Pilates. Get out. If you're that hot, I'm fine if you're not making money. It's the guys who are not hot and not making money that it's like, what are we bringing to the table? Don't get mad at us because we're bringing something to the table. Yeah, I am the table.
On the table and four chairs, take a seat, bitch. Sit down. Wait, I have to say one of one Daphne update. Yes. I had to do a photo shoot at the plaza last week, and it was like, oh, my Blair Waldorf, Emily and Paris dreams come true. Daphne was requested by the brand to also be in the photo shoot.
This poor kitty had a work day. Like kitty had a freaking work day. I literally feel like she looked at me at one moment being like, put me back up for adoption because like bitch, this is- Did she fall asleep on the job at all?
She slept throughout the whole drop, really. But the best part was she jumped up on the bed, she looked at everyone, and she peed at the plaza. I said, you know what, Daphne, I did birth you because I peed in Positano one time.
Wait, I love how she has to make eye contact during the pee. She has to be so gnarly. I'm performative. No, she's so frickin performative. I'm like, I can't. And then she got under the bed and was like, I'll be here until my neck shot. My assistant literally was, she was under the bed of the blossom.
She's not allowed back in the plaza after pissing on their linen sheets. Yeah, so we had to cover it up and it was just like a whole thing. I can't wait to see the photos, though. I can't wait to see the photos. The girl that styled the shoot, her name is Marin Taylor. She's so incredible.
She found this set, this like knit, not even knit. I don't even know, like crochets set that was like a bustier, strapless top and like matching mini skirt that had Daphne's face on it. I was like, I need to purchase this. Like, please secure this for me. It was so cute. I can't wait to see the pictures because Daphne truly is. I just hope Daphne doesn't start getting your reputation in the industry, you know? Like, because you know the makeup artist talk and next, you know, it's like she peed on someone.
They're like, um, Daphne's been clawing and peeing. Someone DM'd me the other day and was like, um, Carl Lagerfeld's catch Chopin. Her bet or his bed was on sale at Sotheby's. She's like, do it. Do it. What was it? It was just so funny. How much money was it? Um, I don't know. I literally didn't look it up because I was like, if I look it up and it's gorgeous, I'll have to purchase it. And that's self control and that's boundaries. And that's self control. I was like, I can't, if it's $17,000, like I can't do it.
I do have to say this is a random thought but about children. I've never seen a baby named Gary.
So can someone explain that to me? I never meet other Gary's either. The only time I hear my brother's name is in like stand up bits and it's always like fucking Gary. And of course I'm always sending them to him. It's just where all the, there's adult Gary's, but I've never seen a toddler Gary where it's like, hi little Gary, like it's not a thing. It's like Greg. You've never seen a baby named Greg. No, no, that's so true, honestly.
It's funny, my brother and my dad have the same name too, Dan. But my dad was Danny, and my brother was Daniel. What did you guys do, Gary Jr.?
No, Gary's not a junior. They have different middle names. I want like, why is that such a thing for guys and not for girls? Cause I as someone who has never gone through a phase, I always say this when people DM me, like I'm thinking about naming my baby page. I never went through a phase where I didn't like my name. Like I, if that was a thing, I would so name my daughter Paige.
I know, because it's like, we can't get the last name. Can we get the first name at least? Right. Can we have like a say in anything over here? Are women even allowed to talk in 2025? No. It's so great. So you're talking, I, I warm the sorry I'm in voice rest sweatshirt and I've worn up before at the airport because it's like my favorite sweatshirt. I am getting bad luck this trip. The second I got to the airport,
You lost your voice. No, a guy just is like, what does your sweatshirt say? And I'm like, oh, no. And then they read it and they go, oh, are you on a voice rest? And I'm like, this conversation is like 10 minutes too long already. Like you're just like, shh. And then like I got on a flight and someone stopped me. What is your sweatshirt? And because it's like a sentence, they like look at you for like, it feels like three minutes too long. Yeah. And I was like, do I have to flip this sweatshirt inside out? Because I'm getting like harassed.
What are you searching on your phone? She's doing research. I want to get the exact title. Taylor Swift has been named the best dressed celebrity of the decade by SuperDry. Taylor Swift has once again proved she's not just a pop icon but also a style sensation as a study by SuperDry crowned her best dressed celebrity of the decade.
Okay, and normally I defend Taylor, but what I will say is Taylor Swift herself does not want that title. Taylor Swift is like, I'm smart. I'm funny. I'm interesting. I've never tried to be a fashionista. Why are they trying to put that on her?
Honey, I was shocked I don't what super that's super what I never heard of that I don't know but then like here's the thing I am all for her like Going and supporting her boyfriend at football games, and I love to see what people wear to football games. It's so fun. Yeah
But you're like my dad when he sees a tall person who never played basketball and you're like, you had so much potential.
That's you. I know the face. My dad makes it. You just made it. No, you have so much to work with. So here's the thing. One of my biggest pet peeves, this goes for all walks of life, boyfriends, just my friends. Honestly, anyone on the street wasted potential.
I hate it. I hate it. I'm like no one wants to work these days. No one wants to work these days, but not to defend Taylor because I want to have my career. With I at least think she and she likes her outfit. Like she's wearing and that's all that matters.
And if she's surrounded by yes people clearly, like they're like, yes, this red lipstick should never come off you forever, because you like it. And if she likes it, I'm happy. I don't like when you could tell a celeb feels uncomfortable in it and looks bad. Like that's my biggest pet peeve. Because sometimes you guys hate on celebrities. And I'm like, you know she got to fight with her stylist. And the stylist is like, I swear this is going to work. And then she walks out and just got attacked. Here's my motto. If you like it, I love it. If you like it, I freaking love it.
That's not your motto. It is because I don't care. It's not my business. It's a year of it's none of my business. Unless it's taking place here and now right in front of me, none of my business. I do have to... And the thing with that's annoying with Taylor is that she has the body of a model, model body, model face. She really does. I can't pull off a hat. And it's a choice when you know all the cameras are gonna be on you to be like, I want to wear my condom hat tonight.
Yeah. And it's confidence, it's strength. Here's one thing I will say that I do like about her fashion. I, and it is very much like with her brand, like she goes through all these like different eras. I do like that like she could show up one day in a more like a Louis Vuitton hoodie with like a matching beanie and that's like street wear.
And then the next day, she'll show up in the girliest, cutest little dress. Usually on TikTok, I get so many fashion videos and I love, there's this one girl, Alison Bornstein on TikTok, she's just so, have you watched her video? Yes, she's always wearing a blazer, right? Yeah, she's always just very chic and she says how to find your own personal style. Yes, you describe your style in three words or something, yes.
which I love because when you don't know what to wear, you revert back to what is my personal style, except for me and having multiple personalities. One day, it's not who I am. That's not who I am. So I like that Taylor does switch it up and what her vibe is. Because there's those girls that's all they wear is the row, and it's very tailored.
Give me something quirky. I do appreciate a risk. Obviously, we both love a watch choker. Do you want to explain yourself? Because people were very worried that I was, I'd kidnapped you and I put a gun to your head and made you wear a watch choker. I was given as a gift, like this Michael Kors watch choker. And I was just like, wait, it kind of is so cool. And like for like going out into my little product set, I was just like obsessed with it. And I felt connected to you because I hadn't seen you in like a week.
Aw, no, that makes me so happy. And then Grace posted breaking news. Watch Chokers and out page, and Hannah coded. So all the pages started freaking out. Freaking out. Freaking out. But look, we got to keep them on their toes.
Yeah, and it's just an accessory. It's fun to like, it's fun to like not be yourself. Honestly. That's my vibe, recently. Have you ever ordered clothes online that took like really long by the time that it arrives? You're like, I have no idea who that girl was. Yeah, absolutely. What did I see? Like what was trending during that time?
I recently regulated my nervous system and I feel like anything I ordered before then. I was like, I don't know who she is. How do you know your nervous system's regulated? Because I don't think I've ever, it's ever since I came out of the home. I came out up like unregulated.
I haven't woken up with anxiety in like three weeks. And I'm usually like, when we were on tour, I would wake up at like 6 a.m. from my anxiety. And I haven't done that so well. Wait, now I'm going to cry again because like, that's all I wanted to hear for like so long. No, like I've been like breathing. It's crazy. Do you have any advice?
No. Stay, find your alignment. I have no advice. Us weekly, I have no advice, okay? Do you know what woke me up this morning? Not to brag, but my period. Stop. I, okay, I did eat a whole charcuterie board to myself last night, which I think is illegal. You think that the dairy brought it on?
Well, I've never, I was starving after the show. So I'm like, I'll have a snack and get a charcuterie board. But like when you're alone, I'm going to finish it. You're like, I'll house this. Yeah. Yeah. So I finished it. And then at like 8 a.m, my stomach was fucking killing me. And I'm like,
I didn't take a lactate, but still, that's never happened. I eat like that most nights. And then you woke up with just like a crime scene? A crime scene, but also then I am one of those girls that they say God chose me because I only have three-day periods, but they're like the first two days or like I'm out of commission.
But then that's it. We're gone. When I got my period back, which it's almost been a year that I've been regular, I got it back in I think April or May last year, it went down. I used to be one of those girls that was a solid seven days. Oh my god. And it started to taper to five and now I'm like three to four and it's so nice. Also I don't want to brag about my pussy but
Some of these tampons are too big. Wait, some of them are bricks, like literal, a chow. Why do they even make the cardboard ones anymore? It's a patriarchy. No, it's like, I don't need sandpaper. No, when it hits a wrong angle, Days ruined.
No, I'm like, okay, I just popped it over. Well, the problem with the big ones, even if you get them in, eventually they'll get all wet and start trying to come out, and then start turtling, and that is the most painful feeling in the world. No, have you ever had to stick it back up, like with your finger, and you're just like, okay. Yeah, and then if you're wearing gel X, then it's like, okay, well now I have a red French. Yes! Wait, speaking of vaginas, awfully do love a segway. I love a segway.
Speaking of vaginas on Monday, I am going for my first appointment for, I was just gonna say IVF, to freeze my eggs. Oh, wait, that's huge. Huge. What made you make that decision?
Well, I have, I wanted to do it. Like I would say probably in like last year, I was like probably in the spring, I was like, okay, 2025, I'm freezing my eggs. And I had at it like on my list, cause I have January, I was like, okay, tour is over. Like I'm just gonna like chill the month of January. And I had like a list of things I wanted to get done in the month of January. I'm such a list person. One of them was like get more massages, but anyhow.
So that was one of my goals, so I made my first appointment. But the only thing is, I have to pick two weeks that I'm gonna be home because I have to do the shots. At the same time, every night, I think they have to be in the refrigerator. And everyone I've talked to has been, the two weeks is totally fine. The needle's not big, you can do it yourself, you get used to it. But then I've talked to some girls who have said, because you're pumping yourself full of hormones,
So many hormones and then you're doing the egg retrieval that your body changes Oh like like permanently kind of and I like that freaked me out But it was only like two girls said that to me It's never good to be pumping yourself with hormones. However, you're someone who has PCOS So yeah, isn't this kind of like a great way to make you're giving yourself a chance God forbid you have
Yeah, no, I've always known that I have to freeze my eggs. Really? Yeah, yeah. Because I just feel like it's such a safety. Because here's the thing, when I first decided to freeze my eggs, it wasn't like, oh my god, my career. And I genuinely thought at 32, I would have a kid. But always in the back of my head, I was like, what if I get to 39, 40, and I'm like, wait, I want one more? So that was always my thought process on freezing my eggs now.
Now I'm like, oh, so now it's different. I'm like, I need it as like a security, I think, but it is like making me relax a little bit though. No, 100%. It's like a mental health thing too. I know the like people have said, like you, you don't feel like yourself during it because you are injecting yourself with hormones.
Right, so I'm like, what are the two weeks I'm doing it? I think I'm gonna do it after our last giggly squad tour and maybe do it like the beginning of March, do the shots and the ritual. Or do it during and like, fuck it fam, let's let it rip.
Well, I can't take a beta blocker. I feel like n hormones. I just do too much. And here's the other thing. When you're freezing your eggs, you can't do anything. Yeah, like it's almost like you're pregnant. Well, you're going to love that. You're going to love being like, Oh, no, I can't.
Can't go that's crazy, but here's the one thing I haven't been smoking any weed because I'm like I can't just go cold turkey So I've been like not smoking weed. I've literally never loved life more I realized that I smoked a lot of weed because I disassociated
I'm a disassociation queen. Do you feel like you're remembering things better now? Yeah. No, I literally am like, wait a minute. That was fucked up. My favorite is when we would gossip and you'd be like, oh my god, I heard the craziest thing and you'd tell me and I'd be like, I told you that.
That's when you know you're spending too much time with someone. Wait, talk about dressing as a different person. Sometimes I'd get so high and place a clothing order and it would come in the next two days. And I'd be like, what freak of nature saw this outfit and said, perfect, put it in the car. So I had to stop. I had to literally stop.
I feel like sometimes we'll be like, let's wait to talk about it on giggly. And sometimes I feel like I ask you questions because I want to know your honest answer in front of the gigglers. Yeah. Oh, I love that. I have this new hobby where when I look for clothes, it stresses me out. But if I see something, I think Paige is going to like, I send it to her. So like, I like to feel like I'm shopping for someone who has long legs. Yeah. What are your reactions? Honestly. Yeah. When I just I'm sending you stuff I want you to buy.
I'd say four out of nine times. I'm like, that's cute. I do send you a lot of vintage risks that I don't think you'd consider, but I'm just trying to broaden your horizon. But like, I feel like I could style you.
I feel like you definitely could. It's funny you say that because recently I've been looking at clothes and I've been saying like, oh, that would look cool on Hannah. I truly do feel like you are a Mew Mew girl. I'm going to cry. No, because Mew Mew is having like, you know, like have the car heart like zip ups. Do you not have one of those? I don't think I think it's because I'm waiting. I don't need it for the winter and I'm not a farmer.
And I don't have a farmer's almond. I don't have cows, but I need to milk. It's funny because in the Midwest, that's just like everyone has a. It does just a jacket. Like every dad has it.
This spring I need you in like a barrel gene and a mu mu like car heart like zip up with like your stoner mu mu top I just feel like that is so you I finally bought expensive jeans and they're like crazy expensive, but like I was like I I realized some jeans look bad at me because they're literally $45 mm-hmm I bought a gold barrel jeans Okay, and they're fucking great. I highly recommend they were like 200 something ish
Do you want to know where my dad gets his jeans? Carhartt? Sam's Club. Sam's Club. He loves it. He's obsessed with it. He'll come home and be like, guess how much these jeans were? And I'm like, I don't know, like $50. He goes, $7. $7. My mom is recently obsessed with not recently. I feel like every family, but we have to do a shout out to them. Costco.
Okay, we don't have a Costco up in Albany, so we were Sam's Club family. Okay, so that's our, our Sam's Club is our Costco. Sierra posts, hey, I want to get something from Costco, does anyone have a card? I don't know if this is illegal, but I was like, girl, I got you. Yeah. And then my Nana has had to get your, what is it called? For her to hear better? Hear me. You can get those at Costco? You can get them at Costco. Shout out Costco, they were amazing. They got her like,
Really great ones. She walked around the store and I think your nana asked my dad if he wanted to try it at Giggly Radio City. Well, yeah, my nana was like if you do it, I'll do it and Apparently like she was like try my hearing aid. He was like I can't Apparently like 10 years ago. It was really clunky and big and the technology's gotten really good in nana you guys Wow
Nana's gonna get hearing aids finally. And it was actually, she writes a lot on Instagram and she told me she likes to write a lot because she has trouble hearing and she feels connected with her community on Instagram because she could hear everyone. No, I'm crying. I'm on my period. No, I've been so, Hannah, I've been so girly recently and like having like true girl emotions. Are you in your feminine energy? No, I've been so feminine recently.
I've been turning my brain off. I've just been feminine. I've been saying sorry for no reason. Babies have just been actively coming up to me. I'm like, there was a baby in the elevator the other day and waved at me. And I was like, I literally looked and turned. I was like, am I giving such good aura right now?
Is my aura on 10? You're just a completely different person. I'm in my feminine era. It's just like, oh, it's so nice. You've always been girly, but not soft. I've never been soft. Thank you. Wait, can I just say something about Costco? Why is Costco's Sam's club, or in like BJ's, the whole membership thing? So cunty.
There are the original members clubs of New York City. Yeah, have you ever gotten a table at Costco? My grandma used to take me to BJ's every Saturday and be like, we're going to shop, and then we're going to have a pizza at BJ's. And I'd be like, grandma, I fucking love today. As you guys know, I'm a grandma, so I don't know what's going on in the city, but I've seen all these TikToks of girls just being like, if you're going to go out and you don't want to be at the club, you have to go to a members club where they have a dinner.
What's your opinion of all these member clubs popping up? Is it worth it? Are all of them equal? Is it the vibe? As someone who has a pulse on the scene in New York City of Cool People, what's your take?
There's a couple members clubs that I frequent. I only belong to one of them because it's like, what am I? Like in Little League, how many things can I belong to? Exactly. And it's like you pay, it's like a country club. It's like a country club. It gives me anxiety too, more than I'm like, have too many subscriptions going on, but I'm not gonna use. Same. It's like a country club without a tennis court. And it's just like...
What is the point here? So if you know someone they could take you Yeah, you can bring up to like a certain amount of gas So like if all your friends like our one is a member at one place like whatever I will say in terms of Like being in my 30s and going out. I'm not trying to like go to the club club I do like a place that like you go for dinner You stay till 1 a.m. And then you're fucking out like you're out of there So I like it in my older age, but
Again, you have to have a job because you are paying this membership fee, which is kind of annoying, but also it's very convenient to be in your 30s and be like, yeah, I'm not going to a club now. But you're also paying for the dinner on top of it. It's not like you get free dinner. You're paying for the dinner on top of it. Do people talk to each other? Are you making friends?
So certain members clubs there's like no approach rule Yeah, you can't approach people what if someone dropped something you can't be no It's like okay if I'm sitting at dinner in Paris Hilton is sitting next to me It would be D Class A for me to lean over and say such a huge fan You can't do it at these clubs, but I'm I think they're cool. Here's the other thing in like London I feel like that's all they're going out scene is oh, yeah, they love houses and
Yeah, so I feel like New York City is trying to like jump on that band wagon. I think like each member's club too also has like a different vibe. So just long, so short, just make friends with someone who's a member. Yeah. Okay. Like it's like the friend with the boat. Correct. Just figure out. I think pick one girl from each, like in your friend group to join a different one. Yes. You're like, you're literally covered. Strategic. Just make an Excel doc.
The reason that I joined one of them is because again, I don't like anyone being in charge of me. So like, I didn't like that it was like, I have to wait for someone to be like, you want to come blah, blah, blah. Like I hate that shit. I hate owing anyone. And so you want to feel indebted to someone. I'll go when I want to go and bring who I want to bring. Yep. So like, I like that. I like being in charge of that. Yeah. Okay. I feel like I understand it more.
Are you excited about the Oscars? Do you have any opinions about the Oscars? For whatever reason, I'm so excited this year. What are you excited about? I just think, here's why I think I'm so excited. I think one Nikki Glaser put me in a good mood because it's like, oh.
I have a good taste in my mouth coming into like oh people are looking at girls and being like hey you can be funny and also I think that at the Golden Globes there were so many dresses that I liked and that I feel like that never really happens like I hate when I watch an award show and I'm just like oh I wanted like more I set myself up and my expectations were too high the Golden Globes I felt like there's so many dresses that just looked so good so I'm really excited for the Oscars and also
Maybe I know most, I know more movies this year, maybe than I ever have before. Can't wait to see if Ariana Grande wins. Can't wait to see what she wears. I do have to say, I'm really rooting for Wicked. Like, I watched it. I enjoyed it so, so, so much.
Do you know what? I hate when they do well in the block's office and makes it less artsy for some reason. It's like, no, this movie was art. Can I tell you why I'm really rooting for Wicked, even though I didn't watch it? Yeah, you didn't support it. I didn't support. You publicly were like, this is not something I stand for. You denounced it.
Here's why I'm rooting for it to win. Much like comedy and stand up. I feel like they have not recognized it. I feel the same way with musical theater. Like, yes, obviously like Broadway has the Tonys and whatever and they have their own award show.
I just feel like people look down on a comedy movie, won't put it in its own section, won't give stand up its own section. These people, not only, and comedians are doing all of the things, like they're acting. They're a story child. No, truly. I feel the same way with musicals, like, okay, they're acting, but they're also belting out a fucking song at the same time they do in that.
thrown across a room while keeping her face looking decent? I can't even do that while jogging. I can't even put on a freaking statue to put on her mantle if she deserves it. But there is drama going around with AI. Have you heard about that? No. The brutalist with Adrian Brody, which is supposed to be incredible, they found out they used AI to make his Hungarian accent better.
No way. And then apparently in Amelia Perez. Wait, I have to watch that. I have to watch that. I've heard people obsessed with it and people like so mad about the amount of nominations. That's what's always so Donna. Yes. So they're saying that one of the actresses to hit the one who got nominated for everything to hit some of the high notes they used AI and they were like, how could she win over Cynthia when Cynthia hit the notes while flying?
So there's drama, but it hasn't been confirmed, so I don't want to spread. I think it was confirmed. Also, I'm back on my challenger's bullshit. Please elaborate. Look, I saw I was nominated in the Golden Globes, and I did not say anything negative. I said, I support women in the arts. It was for the music in the background. You protected your own piece. I said it's none of my business. It's none of my business.
It doesn't involve me. It's I'm not a maybe it was not when I was in the airplane watching the music didn't hit how it did in the theater Did it make any fucking sense? No, but it's not for me. It's not my business. Yeah, but then it didn't get nominated for an Oscar and then Andy Murray who's like a one the best tennis players who ever lived a clip popped up because my algorithm knows me where he was like
As a tennis player, this movie was almost disrespectful. Like bonkers. This made no sense to me. I don't know what it was. And he goes, maybe it's artsy and that's good, but as a professional tennis player, this missed the mark. And I love an artsy thing that misses the mark, but not when also the care. I'm still, yep, I'm back on my bullshit.
When the characters have, like, if you know what, it actually is my business. There's no character development. You're not rooting for any of them. No, I didn't know what happened the whole time. I want to watch house music. Oh, watch house music. I don't want to watch bad acting with bad storyline over it. And yes, am I never going to get hired in a role with Lucas Gualdano? No. And you know what? I can't even get a little role. So I'm fine with that.
You can't get a call back. I'm back on my bullshit, but challenges did not get nominated. And I said, it might be my fault because I spoke out. I have such a superficial take on it. I love a sex scene. As someone who in COVID, as someone who in COVID watched 365 days every single night, okay, and literally it was the cause of my breakup, I would say,
I love a sex scene. I get into it. I want to see it. I'm all about it. If there's not one person, one man in the threesome that I want to have sex with, then what are we all doing here? Also, the whole movie's baiting. It's gay baiting. It's threesome baiting. Players can play tennis baiting. No one actually did what they advertised the movie was going to do.
And for that reason, I'm out. The only reason I continue to watch it is because I like seeing Zendaya on my screen. I like her jawline. I like her eyes. I like her outfits. I enjoy. She's one of those people that I don't care what she's doing on a screen. I like seeing her and watching her. She's my Mollymay. But also what I would say is she can do so many things. Why pick the one thing that she can't do? I want her to literally just become, I want her to lean more into being a pop star.
Like, I want to see her dance. I want to see her sing. I want to see her. If she had a concert, I would go to it. Is there a new Molly May episode out? I don't know. I think there might. Do you know what I'm watching? Tell me. Severance.
Hannah, you started from season one? I, okay, so I watched season one a while ago. It comes out and we start playing the next season and immediately I'll make Des Paz. I go, I have no fucking clue what's going on. Let's go back. He looks at me and he goes, you don't remember? And I'm like, no, not for a second.
I don't even know what the plot is. I know. Same. That's how I felt. I literally was like, did I watch this show? That's like, but it would make me feel crazy. But Dez is weirdly smart with that stuff. So then he has a memory. He retains information. Yep. Got it. This is what happens when you're on your phone the whole time while watching. I'm like, no, I was like, damn. I'm like, I was high watching this because I don't remember a goddamn thing.
I love things that are a different kind of otherworldly make you think complicated, but for anyone who's so different, we've never seen a show like this. We've never seen a show like this. And it's so crazy that nothing could happen, and you still have so many conspiracies about what's going to happen. It's not one of those movies where they just show you it. We're learning every episode more about this world that we're so confused about. I love it. They keep it secretive. But anyway, do not feel ashamed.
Rewatch season one of Severance. So you get back in the groove. I haven't watched episode two yet, but that says it's like amazing. And Ben Stiller directed it. I didn't know that. Okay, I was just going to say, I saw a clip or something. Ben Stiller was doing an interview with Patricia Arquette, who plays like one of the main roles in season one.
And she said that he's such a talented director that he actually wouldn't tell the actors what was going on either because he wanted them to give off this confused, I don't know, because he wanted the audience to be like, what the fuck is going on?
And the acting in it, I love when I think I read it. It's giving reality TV. No, I freaking love when I'm just like, oh, this acting, you know? Like, I don't fucking know. But they are so good in their roles. And like, it just really is such a good show. I love a show that is, you're like, I've never seen this plot before. I don't know what's going to happen because it's so quirky and weird, but season one is so good.
And I do have to say with the casting, what's his name? Adam Scott, who I knew from Step Brothers as the asshole brother. He was so amazing in that. He's so good. I didn't realize how he can really play anything, I feel like.
And he's a genius. Apparently, Ben Stiller was like, this is what I want to do. Apple TV, we have to hire this guy, Mark Scott, who apparently, is it Mark's Adam Scott? And they were like, what's he up to right now? And he like wasn't really up to anything. And they were like, can we get someone bigger? And Ben Stiller was like, no, I want him. And they were like, well, he has to audition. And Ben Stiller like called him and was like, Hey, I'm so embarrassed. But like you have to audition for this. He came in.
Isn't that a crazy thing as an actor like then it's insulting to audition? I keep asking actors I know and I don't know a lot but everyone I've asked like for advice about auditioning they were like I've been auditioned in four years and you're like what? Yeah that's like I would have just assumed like you audition for every role.
And I guess a lot of the time, like they'll write something around you or they'll be like, oh, this is so, this is so, I can't think of one actress. This is so, you know. But like it makes sense. Yeah. It makes sense because it's like, okay, we'll watch my movie. Yeah. Like, you know, I can do it. Yeah, like didn't actually Denzel just like said a thing. He was like, I haven't auditioned in 40 years or something.
What's your take on this, which I saw on TikTok? They said someone goes, I'm sick of in all these. What are those things you like to watch that are like different time periods, period pieces? Period pieces. People with Botox and fillers can't be in a period. If you have Botox and fillers in your face, I don't want to see you in Oppenheimer. I don't want to see you in Gladiator. I don't want to see you on Bridgerton.
Get out of Gilded Age if you have your lips done. It's not for me, honey. No, I stand by it. I stand by it. It's too like, no matter the makeup, the hair, anything, the filler just like comes out. It's like, you're from 2025. Get out of here. That's why Nicole Kidman just plays, like, stuck up business women who are getting paid really well, and her filler looks fucking amazing for the role.
Wait, when is that going to be streaming? I want to see the baby girl. I think you can pay for it on like Amazon Prime or something. I need to watch baby girl. I watched an aura, which I I liked. Million present baby girl are on. Guys, we have so much homework. We have so much fun. We have so much fun. Really? Side note, when I saw Lady Gaga and a star is born, the filler distracted me because I wanted more expressions. I was truly like the only person that didn't like that movie.
I don't like the singing and also I don't like the singing even though it's like very crucial part and also the ending everyone was like so shocked I was like really like dull. I feel like I sat in the theater and everyone was like oh my god I was like guys this is a remake and also like yeah this man was depressed like what the fuck are you talking about wait I feel like I told this story before but a while ago I need to tell it.
One of my ex-boyfriends, he took me to a play, a Broadway play, and the whole time, he was like, I know what's gonna happen, I know what's gonna happen. And I was just enjoying the play, I'm like, okay, he was smart, so I'm like, okay, maybe he knows something, I don't know. And then during half time.
This is a sports podcast, and don't you forget it. Don't forget, during halftime, he looks at me. I'm like, OK, what? What is so obvious? It's going to happen. And he goes, he's going to kill himself. And I was like, I thought this was a comedy. Like, I was enjoying it. So the whole time that he doesn't, the guy never killed himself. So the whole time I'm watching this play of this guy being so sad, like, oh my god, he's going to die. This is the last scene of him. He's going to never kill himself. I look over at him after. I'm like, you sick depressing fuck.
You're like, hey, can I talk to you for a second? I think you need therapy. That was dark. The guy that goes on to get married have like a happy life in the play. And I'm just like, I think you need to talk to someone. This is crazy. I do feel like that's a psychological test to watch half a movie and ask everyone how they think it's going to end. And you'll learn a lot about a person.
Yeah, like I love those. Do you ever see those things on TikTok? They're like Japanese, like close your eyes and like think of this and like we'll say this and then think of that. And it's like, this is what tells you about your personality. I love those. Okay. So I recently got on psychic TikTok where they're like a woman who's holding something and she's like, tell me what color and shape I'm holding and use her intuition. And I got it right twice.
So if anyone needs their futures read, but the arms are open. But I do have a direct descendant from Salem, like a for sure. Oh God, um, you guys, thank you so much for giggling with us. No, I just.
I just had the best hour ever. I needed a giggle. That was so much fun, so needed. That was so fun. If anything is annoying you guys this week, just remember it's on your business and we love you. No, it's none of your business and figure out regulating your nervous system. Just like, oh, it's so nice. You don't even know how to spell regulating. Of course not. That'd be crazy. I can't wait to see what snacks we bring to the studio to record our book.
Oh my god, we're gonna have to have a party. I love it. Wait, this isn't, we're gonna be in like a booth, you know? Like, we're Biggie Smalls. They said it's gonna take eight hours. Yes. You've got me for four and then I'm out. Yeah, at least we could split it. Yeah, split it up. What a way. Yeah. We love you guys so much. Thanks for giggling. Talk later.
