I mean, the day just got away from me. What is up, my giggly bells? Oh, like Christmas bells? Like jingle bells. Yeah, I was like going to sleep last night and that's what I think about. I'm like, what should I say? Wow, it's so funny how we probably think about such different things before we fall asleep. I'm like, what starts with a G? The other night I was thinking about how like it's just so hard to find good leather pants and I should just make leather pants. Yeah.

I think about every awkward thing I said and did during the day and if I should hate myself for it. Okay, when I'm having really bad anxiety, like when I'm in bed about to fall asleep, I remember this is like a really good tip. I remember that no one is thinking about me before they fall asleep except me. It's kind of sad, but true. Yeah, like you're so worried about like,

Now, every time I go out, I come home and I'm like, oh my God, did I like say too much? Did I sound like an idiot? And then I'm thinking like, no one is home thinking like, wow, Paige really sounded like an idiot tonight. Well, probably. And then they wonder, wait, did I sound like an idiot back? Does she think I'm an idiot? Yeah. Do you believe that when you have a dream about someone, it's because they're thinking about you? Um.

Yes and no, but I feel like your dreams are really like your deep, deep subconscious. We need a dream reader. Oh my God. We need a dream reader because this is so weird. You know when you have like a sex dream and you wake up and you're like, oh my God. I hate it. It causes sexual tension with people I don't need. I have never had a dream about a girl before sexually. Really?

Unless it was like a threesome situation, but like I've never gotten to the point where like I had sex with a girl. I woke up the other morning and I texted Craig and I was like, I think I'm a lesbian. Yeah.

You're like, I have good news and bad news. I was like, I had the craziest dream last night and it was like so lucid. Like it was like a morning dream. So like when I woke up, it was like so fresh. Craig was in it, but we were in a hotel and I left like our hotel room and like went to another hotel room with a girl. But like I didn't have sex in the dream, but like I was going to have sex with this girl.

Is that so crazy? Wow. He was like, wow, that's so crazy. Dreams are wild. I remember when I was younger, I had a dream that I kissed one of my middle school teachers. He was like hot. Like looking back, she always liked his daddy, you know. And I like couldn't make eye contact with him for a month, which is super inconvenient when they're your teacher. You know what I mean? Right. Like I was like, oh my God, he can tell that I had a dream that I kissed him.

Or have you ever had a dream like a sexual dream about someone and in real life you're like but I don't I'm not attracted to them like I don't want to have sex with them but like in the dream you did 100% or they're like hot in the dream. Yeah. Also I do have to say that I have sex dreams when I haven't had sex in a while.

Okay. Like, you know how guys have wet dreams? I feel like I will have legit sex dreams when my body's like, you need to orgasm. Yeah. Do you ever, like...

in a dream and then wake up and are like, did I in like real life in my bed by myself or was that just like in a dream? A thousand percent. And then you wake up and it's not like a dude where the sheets are all crispy or something. So you're just like, did I? And then I'll like try to touch myself. But like my clitoris is sleeping. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's like, they were like, we weren't a part of this dream. Like, you're so weird. That was in your head, bitch. Leave us alone. I'm doing a... We're in the middle of REM. I'm doing a full skin routine right now. But yeah, Paige started with an ice roller, which we love.

And now she's putting on some lotion. Also, you have a full-on surgical tool you're using now that looks quite invasive. This is from Face Gym, and I keep it in the freezer, and it's cold. And this is what I, like, push back my face with. Does Craig have any skincare routines? Zero. Yeah, I don't even know if Craig washes his face. You're like, I've never been in the same room when he's done it. He does brush his teeth every single night, though, and I appreciate it. Yeah.

yeah so does des i don't um i'm like all right i'm tired i'm in the bed i don't know why depression is so aligned with brushing your teeth like i know i'm depressed when i'm like i can't brush my teeth also let's be honest i'm brushing my teeth for 25 seconds max at nighttime it's a whole different situation like yes you should absolutely do it it feels so much better but like i'm not if i don't do it at nighttime and i just get in bed i'm not like oh my god

I sleep in my makeup all the time, too. Like, I didn't wash my face last night. This is why I'm doing a whole thing this morning. Yeah. You live chaotically, but it's fun. Yeah. I feel like I've been in Ireland for eight minutes and you haven't even... I haven't even asked. Asked. I feel like you think you're so much better than us because you're in Europe. Ask.

You didn't study abroad, so you're like, sorry, are you missing something? I'm in Europe. I was in Barcelona. No, I wasn't in Barcelona, but... Do you think you guys would ever move there? I'm not going to lie. I was like, do we live here now? Yeah. Yeah.

Did you see that meme where it was like the millennial urge to be somewhere for two days and say, I think I could live here. Just so true. So true. I literally walk into a room and you know, it has like just a different smell. Like it just smells different. And I'm like, yeah, I'm,

I'm different now. Like, yeah, basically the Hannah you guys knew last week. I don't know her. The old Hannah's dead. Yeah, no, I get that. You're like, I have stamps on my passport. What do you have? I have nothing against Americans, but they just don't get it. You know? Yeah, they don't get it. They're just like, think so small mindedly. And like, I've like seen a lot in the last two days. And I just kind of get how the world works now.

Who's calling you? I don't know. Where's that coming from? Oh, I got an iPad. Are you okay? I did it because everyone has them.

Who has iPads? Literally, if you ask people, everyone is secretly going and buying iPads and hanging out on them at nighttime. Oh, so they could like watch a TikTok movie like you're in an IMAX? I don't know. But like my mom has one. She loves it. Craig has one. She loves it. Or he loves it. My friend Stephanie, who like...

I'm always on the phone with. She has one. She loves it. And I was just like, am I missing out? Do you FaceTime people on it? Yeah, it's amazing. I just feel like it's too many fucking screens. Except when you're true. I'm just European, you know? Like, I understand this stuff. Like, you Americans. Also, Des was like, stop saying European. You're in Ireland. I'm like, is it not? Is it so beautiful? It's in Europe, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Wait. So also the gigglers were so funny because I basically was telling you guys how I wasn't. I fucked up the flight and I'm not going to Ireland. Right. Because I was going to have a gig in L.A. Right. Turns out they go, we're actually going to go with someone else. So I immediately was like, I'm going to Ireland. Right. It's kind of like a flight to L.A. though. It takes like five and a half hours. That's not bad at all. And I was in one of those...

where you can lie down. First class, bitch. I mean, Zaddy helps me up because I'm not allowed to do it on my own. But he has all those points from traveling. Like, whatever. This is the pro of being with an older man. His MQMs. But in front of me was a full-on infant. Full, like, no. Like, fresh off the boat. Like... Fresh out of the home. I'm dead, okay. Like, still sticky. And then...

The man behind me, like, probably 70 years old, was...

Blackout leaving drunk voicemails to anyone in his life. And I was like, honestly, we've all been there and I get it. How was he doing that on the plane? Well, it took like forever to leave because there was like some snow or something. And he was just calling everyone in his phone and no one was picking up for a reason. Yeah. And but he was telling someone how he used to be like a professional ping pong player and just going on these long rants. And I'm like, yeah, Xanax and pass out like the rest of us.

I feel like people deal with flight anxiety in a lot of different ways. My new flight anxiety is when I know I need to fall asleep, I can't. But when I'm not supposed to fall asleep, I will fall asleep anywhere. Yeah. Like if you're like, Hannah, don't take a nap right now. I'll be like, well, now I need to. But.

But if you say, Hannah, you need to sleep or your sleep's going to be off for the next week. Oh, yeah. You can't force yourself to sleep. You're like, sleep, please sleep. I'll fall asleep in the middle of the day and have like a huge meeting or project that I have to do. And I'm like, but first let's nap. And then at 3 a.m. I'm like, what if I...

rearranged my whole apartment. Or at 3 a.m. you're like, what does it even feel like to be tired? Right. How do you even, how does one fall asleep? And then the second I wake up all day, I'm like fighting to not sleep. Yeah. I'm like, should I shower now and get like ahead for the morning?

Like, no, go to sleep, you psycho. Dude, I'm so productive at 3 a.m. Me too. I'm so creative, to be honest. So anyway, I don't fall asleep on the flight, really. I did watch a documentary about Woodstock 99, which is neither here nor there. Yeah. It's all they had, okay? And you know your girl needed a dope documentary. And then I landed and...

I became who I am today. I have so many questions. I landed. I'm in Dublin. Dublin. I'm in Dublin right now. Have you drank a beer? Does made me drink a Guinness. Yeah. How was that? By drink a Guinness, I sipped two sips. Yeah. And you're like, you're fucking embarrassing me. Finish it. And I was like, I literally can't. Ew.

It tasted actually much better than I thought because I don't really like beer. But it tasted like... It's toasted barley, if anyone's wondering. It tasted like Ireland. Yeah. It tasted like a four-leaf clover. I hate beer. Like, I don't think I've ever...

I don't think I've ever finished a full beer. Like even in college, I was like, no, this is gross. Like I rather drink Svedka straight from the bottle than drink any beer that you have at this frat party. There's a thing called blood pudding. Do you know what blood pudding is? I don't know if I want to. Turns out no one in Ireland knows what blood pudding is either. And they were like, I think there's like guts in it. What is? Like guts. You're like, talk English. Yeah.

Well, that's the thing. The first guy I met had the thickest Dublin accent. And I was like, I've never not understood someone speaking English before. Right. But Paige, I swear to God.

We start driving. The Irish countryside is so green because it rains a lot. So it's like a rainforest and it's an island. That's like where they filmed Game of Thrones. Actually, that might be Scotland, but it's like similar. There's random ass sheep just like chilling. And then some of them are graffitied because that's how the farmers tell them apart, like with a little like pink graffiti. So they look like these like punk rock hair dyed sheep. You're like, oh my God.

And please sign my T-shirt. Just have like sticks stuck in their wool and they're just eating all day. Like and I'm like, honestly, I identify with a sheep. They just like don't shower and snack all the time. So these sheep are fucking adorable. Then we go to this like a meditation center place. It's like beautiful on this cliff.

and that's where I met this cat. Yeah. Let's talk about that. Let's talk. I mean, I want to, um, I have to say when you posted the story about you and the, the random ass cat that you were just carrying on your shoulder, I was with Sierra and Sierra was like, Oh my God, like Hannah found a cat. And I was like, cool. And I,

I saw it on my Instagram and we had a conversation about it. And I was like, this is how different we are as a friend group. You and Sierra would like run up to this stray cat. Okay. You could not pay me. You could not pay me any amount of money to pick up a cat.

In the middle of nowhere and walk around with it and hold it, what if it had fleas, Hannah? What if it bit you? What if... What you just described is my literal dream, and I will take those chances to have a connection with a beautiful soul. Yeah, but, like, it's the world's cat. It's not a house cat. I thought it was my dead grandpa. Oh, okay. Well, now you brought your dead grandpa into it, and I can't say anything. No, but...

I was like, Grandpa Jerry, is that you? So this cat, by the way, we have the most beautiful view of the ocean. Or like the Irish Sea. I don't know. It's the kind of thing that people travel miles for. And my back is facing it and I see this cat. And the cat I knew was cool as fuck. Because the cat, when it sees you, it started coming right towards us. And I was like, oh, this cat is down to clown.

I think it's just like part of the community. I think the cat is a monk. Okay. It's a monk cat. Okay. It's very peaceful there. So Des is off doing his own thing and the cat, I decide to try to pick it up because I'm a little kooky and the cat goes, okay,

let's go a step further and let me go on your shoulders. And then I'm like, Dez, Dez. Because if you yell, you might scare the cat. I was like, Dez. And he's like, this is a fucking meditation center. It's a silent retreat. And I'm like, Dez. And he's like, what? Oh my God.

And like we're petting the cat. It goes on Dez's shoulders. It's purring. It's loving it. It's like I want to be on top. So then we finally put the cat down. He's like, leave the cat alone. We got to go. Dez is like you. Yeah. But he's slowly getting converted. He literally posted on Instagram with a caption saying, I'm not really a cat guy. I'm like, he's like, yeah, people get mad about that stuff. Like if I say they like cats, they get really mad. So you just have to preface it anyway. So this cat follows us.

This cat... We, like, go into all these different trails and the cat's just following us. Is the cat about to walk into this, like, screen? Did you take the cat home? I wanted to so bad, but it's literally, like, belongs to the community and it would probably find me. But, like, I thought about it. Also, Butter would have had a heart attack. Yeah. Don't tell Butter about this at all. I would never. So this cat, I decided to put it on my shoulder again and then I walked around with this cat on my shoulder the whole time. And...

It was amazing. It was great content. And I think about Roxy. That's it's a he named Roxy. Okay. Which we love. And I, I, I can't get this cat off my mind. I love this cat. And I just don't, I just don't like anything that sheds on me. I shed. You shed. Yeah, but it's me.

Okay, this is my question. Yeah. Are you gaslighting me or are you actually going to get a cat? Because now I'm feeling a different energy from you. I would get a cat. I want to get a cat. No, I seriously do. I just don't want it to shed. Like anything that I have to vacuum up their hair and it's potentially on my black coats, I don't want to be involved in with it. Well, you definitely get a black cat. Also, butter doesn't shed. Okay. Or she does and then I just like...

don't do anything butter definitely does i know jasper fucking sheds yeah jasper sheds i tried to wear one of sierra's coats one time and i was like what is this like i was like how do you live like this you got a short-haired black hat and you're gucci

I guess I guess anyway okay so you're in Ireland what what else have you done there how long are you there for so I'm actually tomorrow going to France for the first time oh my god you're gonna eat so much fucking bread oh I've already been eating so much bread in Ireland the butter is so fucking good Kerrygold

But I'm skiing for the first time I've never been skiing Oh in France you're going skiing? Yeah and Des is like a big skier Like he's done like avalanche skiing Where they like take a helicopter And like drop you on a random mountain And you just like ski No like some crazy shit

That's terrifying. I've never even done a bunny slope. I didn't know Des was such a good skier. He loves it. So what are you going to do? I'm going to be on the bunny slope. And he's like, don't worry. I'll get you good real quick. And I'm like, look, I'm not trying to hurt myself. I know. Isn't that something crazy that now you have to think about? Look, I'm just not trying to deal with an injury. Yeah, and we're getting old. I sneeze too hard and my lower back has an ache. So have you skied before? Are you good at skiing? No.

I'm not bad. I like I had skied one time in high school and I because like the guy I was dating loved snowboarding. So I was like, oh, my God. Yeah. No, of course. I've definitely skied for sure. And I hated it.

Why'd you hate it? I was going too fast. Like, I wanted to stop and I wanted the ski patrol to come and get me and take me down the mountain. And my boyfriend was like, this is not a movie. There's no ski patrol just like riding around on their like snowmobiles to pick you up. And I was like, well, basically just like falling down a mountain. Yeah. I literally thought I saw sparks coming from my skis because I was going so fast and they were rubbing against each other.

And then in Aspen, I'd gone a couple years ago and I got like a legitimate ski lesson for like three hours. But the guy was so good. And like now I can go down on like a medium level trail. Skiing is like rich people shit though. Such rich people shit. I had to get so many fucking accessories. I needed gloves. I needed like a neck warmer. I needed...

goggles goggles i needed a new ski jacket i need the goggles are not cheap like even if you go to buy the cheapest ones they're still like two hundred dollars they're it's fucking wild and then a hat and then i needed ski pajamas like or the under stuff like i'm probably just gonna do it once yeah i'll be like can i go in the hot tub inside you're like okay i'll go eat now thank you where's the french onion soup

I don't know if you guys have noticed from my Instagram stories, but I've basically switched all my loungewear over to Skims.

with their matching lounge fold over pant. i'm absolutely obsessed. not only do i wear it inside, but i actually wear it to travel a lot too. i noticed in my drawer the other day that basically all my bras and underwears are skims, but also now all of my t-shirts and my loungewear is skims. i've pretty much cleared out all my lounge sets after i moved. i just like got rid of everything. i was like i don't need all of these random sweatpants and sweatshirts.

and really replaced everything with Skims because I know it's always going to look good, and I know it always feels amazing. And you know how much I love laying in bed, so if I have an outfit that I can lay in bed in and also run errands in, then I'm a true fan.

Have you been to London before? I've been to London before. It's chic. It's posh. Yeah. I love it. I feel like if there, if I ever have like a midlife crisis and I'm like, I'm moving away, I would want to move to London. And then go on Made in Chelsea. Absolutely. And then become friends with like the Queen.

So Des's good friend and amazing comedian, Joanne McNally, has a podcast with a girl named Vogue Williams who is married to Spencer. Who the heck is Spencer? He was like the like brown haired guy in Made in Chelsea with Kat Cagney. Say the story again. Joanne, I never really watched that. Oh, never mind.

I was, like, really into Maiden Chelsea back in the day. Really? I watched, like, one episode when they came to New York. Also, I was like, guys, should we talk about Normal People? Like, great show. Wait, our... Oh, my God. I forgot we were obsessed with that show. Gigglers, if you haven't watched Normal People, watch it and then...

Follow Connell's chain on Instagram. Oh my God. It's so good. It's on Hulu. We watched it in quarantine. We were obsessed with it. And that was before I met Des. I was like, Irish guys are hot. Yes. Oh my God. What a foreshadow. I know. But also now I like get, so if anyone knows Des, he speaks in a thick Queens accent with random accents.

words that don't make sense like he'll say like bloody and he always goes frustrated and i'm like what is he talking about but here like they say certain things like they say um they say grand like that's grand i kind of love that or they'll be like happy days happy days i love that they'll just i don't know we're just like happy days also they say lads for anyone like des will be will be in traffic and he'll be like come on lads let's go lads i'm like lads

But it just means like guys. Yeah. And it could be girls or anyone. I'm really glad you got to go. When do you come back? 20th or 21st. So, yeah, I'm just, you know, I have a big perspective now on life. You're cultured. I have some questions for you. Okay. What do you think of people who put. Hate them. Honestly, touche. Okay.

What do you think of people who put their boyfriend or their girlfriend in their bio? Someone cheated?

I think it's the equivalent to like putting your best friend's initials in your away message, like your profile, your AIM profile. It's like getting a best friend bracelet. Yeah. Like if you're above the age of 15 and your boyfriend is in your bio or it says like wife to and then it's like at James, like stop.

That's so awkward because I was going to get you a best friend bracelet for Christmas. No, I'm just kidding. But I do think this goes back to what we talked about, guys. De-center relationships from your life that they're the main success point. Yeah, I just think it's weird. Do you think it's embarrassing when people have pet pages and it doesn't do well because like low-key the pet's ugly but they can't see it? Yeah, it's like having an ugly child, I feel like. Yeah. Yeah.

But like some ugly dogs are so fucking cute, but then some dogs, they're just not Instagrammable and it's not their fault. I have a, I have the craziest unpopular opinion. What is it? I don't think French bulldogs are cute. I don't think any bulldog is cute. French, American, any of them. Do you know that we've had this full talk on Giggly Squad before how we hate French bulldogs? Cause they look like they got hit in the face with a frying pan. And there's a French bulldog community that was pretty upset at us.

Okay, you want to know what I say to the French bulldog community? I don't like a dog who can't like give birth naturally because they've been like made into a dog. Okay, like bulldogs have to have C-sections. Wait, is this alleged? Because you're throwing some hot words out here. I'm googling it right now.

Okay, allegedly, just to be safe. I tweeted that Pete Davidson is a French bulldog because there's definitely something wrong with him, but he looks good with hot women. How do bulldogs give birth? Have babies? Are you about to look at like a full bulldog birth?

Because bulldog puppies cannot fit through their mother's birth canal and must be delivered via cesarean. Guys, to the French bulldog lovers and the bulldog community, I think they're cute in their ugly way. I actually met a very nice bulldog last night named Fred. I do love when people give their dogs human names. I think it's fucking hilarious. I met a very cute Ernie this morning, a Scottish Terrier. Oh, wow.

But I do have to say, we do like adoptions here. There's a ton of dogs in shelters that need homes. I don't know. Anyway, but you get where I'm going. I just, the sounds that bulldogs make, I just feel like are a lot. Oh, yeah. When we were doing Giggly Squad Lives and we couldn't focus because that bulldog was breathing too close to you. Oh, my God. My friend Justin's dog. Yeah. It was just, he was so loud.

You know? And then like I felt like he was judging me. I was like, you're the one breathing like Tony Soprano. Like I get good messages from people who want advice and I screenshot them. But then I also screenshot literally everything in my phone so I can never find why you're looking for that. Let me tell the gigglers the cutest story ever.

of what Craig did for me this weekend. Because we are long distance, you know, obviously it's hard to go there every single week, but like we pretty much manage it. I don't think we've gone like a full two weeks without seeing each other. So it would have been like 10 days that we weren't seeing each other. So on Friday, like Tuesday,

In the afternoon, he was like, you know what? I'm just gonna I'm just gonna fly up to New York. Like, I'm just gonna book a flight right now and I'll leave Saturday night. And I was like, oh, my God, that's like a lot of travel for just like one day. And he was like, no, like I'm doing it.

His flight was like 7 p.m. Okay. He calls me at like 6 p.m. And he was like, oh, my God, bad news. Like, I actually can't go. I have to do this work thing. Like, I completely forgot about tonight. Like, and I was like, oh, my God, don't worry about it. And he was like, no, like, I need to see you. Like, I really want to see you. I'm just going to come up Saturday morning.

He flies to me Saturday morning. He gets in at 10 a.m. He has to be back in Charleston by Saturday night. A storm is coming. So he had booked like a nighttime flight to fly back. And he was like, I booked two flights to fly back because I don't know if they're going to get canceled because of the storm. This man flew into New York for five hours just to hang out with me and then flew back. Oh, is that not funny?

The cutest thing you've ever heard in your life. And I told my mom and my, do you want to know what my mom said? He's very adamant about seeing you this weekend. Are you sure he's not going to tell you something bad or like break up with you?

The actual fuck my dad looked at her And was like that's called anxiety at it's finest Yeah I was like oh my god No he just like really Loves me and like missed me But can you He walks in and you're like I'm breaking up with you I'm like funny you're here I have things to say to you as well No is that not And so like as I as that day Was happening I couldn't even really process It but I Made a point to like

I was like, I have to tell the gigglers. If he wants to, he will. I literally was about to say this is a story of if he wants to, he will. No. So like if you are dealing with some dumb ass motherfucking finance bro right now in New York City who says, I just I can't see you tonight. I'm like, I have so much work to do. This man flew at 10 a.m. in the morning and then again at like 3 p.m. in the afternoon just to like.

make out with me a couple times and my make out she means dicked out um i mean i told him about my full sex dream okay this is a great segue to a giggler who dm'd me for some advice my ex and i broke up about a month ago he broke up with me because long distance was too much

However, he's clearly still in love with me. He'll send me drunk texts saying stuff like, I don't know how I'm just supposed not to love you. I'm like, bro, you broke up with me. Anyway, I don't want to get back together, but he wants to be friends with benefits over Christmas break. I'm fine because I know for sure I don't want to get back together. But will this make things more complicated? By the way, we're both 24 since you always ask. Ask. Thanks. And I love you both. I think, look, there's advice I'd give and then there's what I'd actually do. You know?

Because he's probably comfortable and he's around. Yeah. And like, you know, it's going to be good and it's going to be fun. As long as you don't get so upset afterward, I would say do it. Who cares? But if.

it's going to really fuck with your mental state. But also I feel like she might be lying to us a little. I mean this in the nicest way, but like if a dude broke up with me, even if he's horrible, if he shows any non-interest, I'm obsessed with him. Correct. So I feel like even though you're like, I don't care and I totally get that. Part of you wants to be like, but you still want me. But to be honest, if you want to play that game,

Don't let him have your pussy. Yeah, I agree. And then you win. I'd also love to know the distance they're doing because I feel like West Coast, East Coast, I feel like that's so fucking hard. I don't know how people do it, but I feel like same coast is a little bit more manageable. You're right, especially time-wise in terms of being on the phone and shit. Like when Des was in Ireland, it was a five-hour time difference and I was just always asleep when he was asleep. You were the epitome of like date a sleepy girl. Exactly. What?

Des didn't care that you didn't answer the phone because you weren't out doing anything. You were asleep. Early on in the relationship, he'd like want to call the police. He's like, are you dead? Are you okay? And now he's my mom and Des are like, she's sleeping. Oh my God. I got the funniest giggler message too. Okay. How do you get your ex to stop loving you? You shouldn't. This is the thing, girl. You shouldn't even know how your ex feels about you because he needs to be out of your life. I feel like I could write a whole book.

I feel like your ex still loving you is good for your universe, like the atmosphere. It's good to have people that love you. Yeah. But also don't be like teasing him and stuff like let him know it's over. Paige, do you have any advice for long distance relationships?

And yeah, everyone is loving the long distance relationship. Do you have any tips? Well, I feel like a lot of the gigglers are college age and I feel like some of them are doing long distance with their boyfriends like in different colleges. I feel like the number one thing that's worked for Craig and I and we are very different in terms of like we don't have a nine to five. So our days are pretty flexible of like, okay, well, I can't come this weekend, but I can come like Wednesday to Friday, like something like that.

I think the most the number one thing that's worked for us the most is we set a certain amount of time of like, OK, we'll never go without seeing each other past. I feel like we said two weeks, but really we've like made it a week like we don't go a whole week without seeing each other.

So I feel like if you have a time and you set it to that, like, okay, we will – like, if you live far away from each other, like, okay, we won't ever go longer than a month without seeing each other and you stick to that, I feel like it's more manageable because it's more organized. Yeah, I think having –

rules and structures so good because in the moment it's hard to like decipher things but when I did long distance in college we spoke every single night on the phone yeah that's just what we did before you go to sleep you talk on the phone it wasn't a like can you speak tonight it was just like a set time that we're gonna do so it's like make sure you have some

normalcy to it. So you won't go too long without having that intimacy. That's like not just text messages. Like you can't just live off of text messages or you start falling in love with like a false persona of who the person is. I feel like, you know, absolutely. I like, even if I know Craig is busy, like all day, like today, I know that he's busy all day and like not going to be on his phone. I still text him as if he's going to respond like, Oh,

Okay, just like I just showered and like, wow, what do you think of like corn muffins? You know, like every thought I have, I send. I love that. No, I want it to be like I'm there.

When Des is in Ireland and he'd be asleep, I would be like out and I would be like, oh, I just talked to this person about you and this happened. Because I'm not going to remember that shit. You have to feel like the communication is so open and you can just be your full self with them at all times. Absolutely. Let's be honest.

This is an interesting question. Should both people be making the same income? No. I think, I feel like as women, we are like programmed to look for someone who makes the same amount or more. I think if there's like a huge discrepancy, it's how secure that person is with like how much they make. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like if I dated someone who made like significantly less than me,

I wouldn't want to feel taken advantage of. Like, you don't want to feel taken advantage of, but you should never feel bad about yourself if you make less. You're probably in different industries. I care more about people, like, knowing what they want to do for a living. Like, as long as you see their path, like, where they want to be. Or, like, it's, to me, the most unattractive thing is when...

They don't really have motivation to do anything and they don't even know what they want to do because I'm like, okay, then we there's nothing to hope for because I'm I'm like always thinking about like, oh, what do I want to try to do? Yeah. So it's more about finding someone who matches your perspective on work almost because if one person's like obsessed with work and then one person isn't. Yeah. Sometimes it's like you're missing each other. Like, yeah, it's great to be with a really wealthy man. But if he's like never going to be around for the kids because he's always working, that's super annoying. Yeah.

I will say, though, it is nice when you're at like you don't have to make the same amount, but you're in the same range. It does make shit just way easier because it doesn't feel like, oh, wow, he's always paying for this or oh, wow, she's always like booking the plane tickets. Like it's easier to go tit for tat. Like a perfect example is like when Craig is in New York and we're ordering food.

I typically will like go on my Uber Eats and be like, okay, put in whatever you want. But when we're in Charleston, he'll be like, okay, I'm ordering from here. What do you want? So it's kind of like, you know, we can do that. You never want to feel indebted to anyone. Ever. I also think as women, like make as much money as you can because it's fun to fuck poor guys.

Poor guys fuck like they need a place to stay and it is like next level. You don't want to be just like fucking rich dudes just to go on a trip. Like, oh my God, no. Live your life. Fuck whoever you want to fuck. And then honestly, you want someone with a similar motivation to you, I think. I will say...

I was 24 years old and this was like one of a very big turning point in my 20s. I was dating my boyfriend at the time and we had flown out to California to like visit one of his friends, whatever.

We were flying back to New York and he wanted to switch our plane tickets to like the red eye or whatever. And I said, I would love to keep our plane tickets the time that it's at right now. So we get back to New York a little bit earlier rather than like super early in the morning. He looked at me and said, when you buy the plane tickets, you can make the decisions.

whoo that moment was one of the most pivotal moments I'm not kidding of my life and I never said anything back to him about it but I think about that all the fucking time and from that day on I bought my own plane ticket anywhere I've ever gone

I love that so much because also you hear stories of women who are like afraid to leave a situation because like financially they won't be able to like find a place to stay. Always trust that you will figure it out. Yeah. Never stay in an abusive relationship because of that. But there's a freedom to be like if I wanted to leave Ireland right now, like right now. Yeah. Yes. And even when he's buying shit for you. Yeah. It's nice to know it's not because like.

he needs to it's because he wants to right like if craig and i are like flying to delaware or something he's like booking the plane tickets because it's like easier he's like i'm on the app like i'm just doing it it's not because he's trying to like keep me or like hey we have this trip coming up it's like i don't know it just like doesn't even it's not even a thing i also feel like i i fucking love buying stuff for dez but like he

Like I like to spoil him. I like to do stuff for him. But it's funny because he's so like masculine and he's like, no, no, no. I want to do it. But I like get off on being like it's like a little power thing. No, I fucking love that. OK, so Craig and I, we're not like huge gift people. We're more like we're more like, oh, my God, I saw this and I thought of you immediately. So I just bought it.

So, like, we are always randomly giving each other, like, stupid shit. That's so cute. So, like, and it's not, like, expensive things. Like, sometimes it's expensive, but other times it's like, hey, like, I got you this pack of gum because, like, this is your favorite flavor. You know, like, stupid shit. Yeah. I was so excited for his Christmas present that I...

I was like, hey, can I tell you what the Christmas present is? Because I'm so bad. I get so excited. And he's like, yeah, I mean, we're adults. It's not like we have to wait till Christmas morning. Like we can just say it. Naughty. I think I got him the best gift I've ever gotten anyone ever. Do you want to know what it is? Yeah. I adopted him a penguin that lives in Africa.

In Africa? Oh, yeah, like the ones with the hair, like the funny hair. Yep. I adopted him a penguin egg, which will hatch in 38 days. He gets to name it. He gets pictures sent of the penguin growing up. This penguin sanctuary raises the penguin for two years and then sends it out into the wild. And the name of this penguin is Pimento Cheese Conover. Did you name it? Sure did. Okay.

pimento wait why do i feel like sheena did this with a boyfriend on vanderpump a penguin

She got a star. I think she got a star for like Adam or something. Got it. This is amazing. I don't want to like if you guys ever broke up, if he just kept getting photos of this penguin and I thought about it. Someone's like, what is and he's like, I can't know about it a lot. I can't explain it, but I can't not help this. I was like, no, seriously. If he had another girlfriend in like a year and a half, he'd still be getting pimento cheese emails being like, hey, remember my fucking mom? Where is she?

You're a single dad now. Yeah. I literally... Oh, my God. That was the best evil laugh. I'm obsessed with pimento. I was scouring the internet because there's so many places that you can, like, in quotations, adopt a wild animal. But it's really more you're just donating to the organization and they send you, like, a stuffed animal. I wanted, like, a thing where we got updates and, like, you saw the actual animal and...

So I found this like rent. I'll post it once Christmas comes. I'll like post all the stuff about it. And like when we got our first picture, but like how fucking cute. I can't wait for the Netflix documentary to come out about the scam that is getting people to buy a penguin and then just a guy sending pictures off the Internet to people in Utah. Of one penguin. Yeah.

He just Googles penguin hatching. That's exactly what's fucking happening. I don't even care. It was worth the fucking $300 because it's adorable.

$300. Wow. That guy in Utah is fucking smart. Yeah. Question. Have you watched Sex and the City? No, but Des told me the spoiler. And apparently everyone's mad that the spoiler's going around. You know what? Actually, I'm not going to spoil it. Can you watch it so that we can fully deep dive and talk about it next week? Because I have so many thoughts.

I do know that Peloton stock dropped, which makes me laugh. I know. Is that crazy? It's kind of hilarious. Also, the other show that I literally finished, Sex Life of College Girls, you have to watch it.

It's not corny? It seems like try hard. No, not at all. It's hilarious. It's so funny. It's so real. I actually, it's Mindy Kaling's show. And I don't know if it's based on like her story.

life in college and like her friends because there is a girl that's like this Indian girl and her family wants her to be a doctor and she really wants to be a comedy writer so she like tries to join this like comedy club um like this like writing thing it's so funny it's so good you would love it okay I'll trust you on that okay anything else you're watching I also have been watching Yellowstone I'm all caught up

I watched literally four seasons of a TV show in like one week. Which is called productivity. Yeah, I don't my my ability to like get through an entire series is wild. I wish I could push through a workout the same way I push through Netflix. Oh, my God. I would literally be a fitness competition like host. I would be so fit.

You'd be in CrossFit. Did you see the Tiger King just dropped the Doc Antle's story? No. Who even is that again? Tiger King, there was this guy, Doc Antle, and they showed a couple girls who were basically like, yeah, he made me his sex slave. Oh, yes, yes, yes. And they never covered it. They just quickly mentioned it. And I was like, that sounds kind of integral. Right.

They just came out with like Doc Annal's story. I mean, and they're basically like- Yeah, so that's happening. Did you watch it yet? Yeah.

No, no. So we're setting people up. We have to watch these three shows. Let's watch all of this stuff and get back next week and do full spoilers. Hell yeah. Gigglers, Seattle, San Francisco. I think there's still a couple tickets left. We'll put those links up. And we just dropped the Pete Davidson merch, which is crushing. I fucking love it. And also our LA date tickets will go on sale very soon for that.

So exciting. We love you so much, guys. Thank you for giggling with us. Bye.
