Okay, I have to make an apology. And I literally was saying, what's up, my Met Gigglers? Obviously, it's the Giggly Gala. Instead of Met Giggler, I should have said S. Sorry, I just had a stroke. Sorry, I just got so scared. When was the Met?
I think it was last week. Have we not recorded since? No. The last time we spoke to the Gigglers was the morning of the match.
But like it's been so long that the Mets not even in the new cycle anymore. Feels like it was last year. I was just going to say, isn't our culture crazy? Like that's I'm like, that was two years ago. And that's why when you're ever down, remember that nothing matters and no one will remember, including yourself. No one cares. No one cares. No one cares. OK, wait. Actually, do you have one thing to say about the Met Gala? No.
actually have a strong opinion about one thing let's circle back for like two seconds what is your gripe not a gripe i this is this is so embarrassing to admit the morning after the met gala i'm in glam for something i can't even it's literally was last year how can i remember
And I'm talking to Mitchell and Taylor and we're talking about like what, who we liked, who we didn't like. And I said, did you guys see Katy Perry? And they're like, Oh my God, we didn't see Katy Perry. And I'm like, you have to see Katy Perry. So I showed them the picture and they're like a fabulous, stunning. I can't believe I didn't see it. And I was like, the coverage was weird this year. Like it just randomly like shut off. We're having a whole conversation about five hours later.
I'm back home from my apartment. Literally, God knows what I was doing. I can't for the life of me think of what it was, but whatever. It was an AI photo of Katy Perry that I complete that like the Internet fell for. It's like the second year in a row, except best dressed, best dressed. Wait, Katy Perry keeps having moments that could get her out of a rut.
Like this AI going viral. Also, in the future, celebrities only have to go to the red carpet, save all the glam and styling, and just get an AI to do it. Well, it was actually scary. I was like, okay, so we can really actually just do everything from our home. No one has to go anywhere. This is the best dress. This was the best dress I saw all night. It wasn't even real. Well, Katy Perry, also her song, You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter.
That's trending on TikTok. But she's mad. She thinks people are making fun of her, but we're not. I haven't listened to a Katy Perry song in like years. Everyone just has to know, if you're not watching this on YouTube, Paige just pulled out a face roller out of nowhere. Like the biggest face roller you've ever seen casually just pulled it out of who knows where and is rolling her face. See, when I talk, Paige does skincare for me.
You take years off my life and I literally am trying to reverse it at any chance I can get. Here's the thing. I love when we record in person. I love the clips. The energy is different. The pod is different. There are times where we have to record virtually, which is crazy because this is all we used to do, which is so, dare I say, lazy. My mom said she actually likes when we record on Zoom because it reminds her of Instagram live days, which is so nostalgic and beautiful. Yeah.
Here's another reason why I like recording virtually. We're the Katy Perry of... Can we AI us in the studio? ...of only things at home. Here's what we need to get a handle on, and we're going to do it. We are. We're going to get a handle on it this summer. By the way, if you don't know this, Paige has the biggest apartment in America. Somehow I convinced her to record the pod at my apartment.
And I don't know how that happened, but I slid through. I don't mind it, though. Yeah, because it's like going to Europe. You come downtown. Yeah, no, it's honestly, I have to get out. You know, I have to get out of the house. We're going to figure out our recording situation and the vibe and the aesthetic and all of that. But I like recording virtually. We are going to get a new aesthetic.
Because I have all my things here. Like I made my coffee. I have my Stanley. I have an ice roller. Like I put some road barrier cream on prior to this. You could put that in your rider when you come over. We could get Chris to do it. Chris needs to work more. I'm going to stock your refrigerator with my stuff, I think. I'll just do an Instacart order. Okay, but actually let me say.
We don't need to get into these logistics. The housekeeping is unnecessary. It's unnecessary. The admin is too much for all the gigglers. It's too much. On a Monday? We're recording virtually because I... In vitro. We're recording. That wasn't even funny. Again, can you tell them about what's going on? With what? Of my eggs? Yeah. Okay, that's why we're recording virtually because I just couldn't...
I couldn't think about putting pants on. We had it fully set up though. 6 p.m. You were coming to record. Chris was all set up. Then you text me. I don't feel well. So if I say something to you, that's illegal, right? Because it's a woman who's in her age. So it's considered. Oh, like if you're like, no, you have to show up. It's like, okay, wow. So we don't give paid maternity leave. It's maternity abuse.
So Paige has been going around acting like she's pregnant and fully cosplaying a pregnant woman. She's sending me photos going, how cute do I look? Because she's slightly bloated after getting her eggs removed. When I say slightly bloated, I mean she looks like me after a first bite of a chicken sandwich. I literally knew you were going to say that. I knew you were going to text me back and be like, okay, cool. Me when I wake up. Like, what are you talking about?
I'm so pregnant. I'm so bloated. It's so cosmic energy that I froze my eggs on Mother's Day weekend. I was like, I felt maternal. That is adorable. You want to know why I felt maternal? This is how I knew. Walking down the streets of New York City, I was like, if anyone steps to me right now,
With my eggs just brewing, ready to be taken out, I'll fucking cut some. You go, I am a mother. You're going on the subway and just being like, excuse me, can I sit? I'm pregnant. I'm like, literally no chivalry. Okay. Let me just talk about my egg freezing journey for a quick second because I did my...
retrieval this past weekend I go I went to first let me say the company name which I feel like I haven't even said which I'm so stupid it's called extend fertility it's on 57th street if you live in New York City my doctor's name was Dr. Klein he was amazing he literally I felt smarter after being like around him he just every time he said good good question to me I was like
No, I'm a good student. Okay, so on Wednesday... Oh, we also have to talk about meeting Anna Wintour. Oh my god, yeah. Literally, that was a year ago. I was getting your eggs out of the way. You're a mother. Let's get my eggs out of the way.
I did my trigger shot Wednesday night. I went in for my egg retrieval on Friday morning. It's literally like 20 minutes, which is just so crazy. Did you have any anxiety? Because, you know, I had no anxiety. Like you're like, OK, and they poke in and you get put under. And so everyone was like, oh, my God, I'm so nervous to get put under. I'm like, I'm so nervous.
I don't know why. Talk about being DeLulo. I literally didn't think about it for a second. They're like, it feels like you had a two-hour nap. I'm like, yeah, shoot me up. What are we waiting for? Let's go. I couldn't have been less nervous for that part. I was like, this is my favorite hobby. Because we just dropped the newest episode of Hannah Page Try New Things. And we're starting aggressive with this because it's your Denver episode. Yeah. It's literally you...
And me trying to distract you all day from the inevitable. The universe. Panic attack. You were going to have a panic attack. And the universe was going to make sure it happened no matter what you did. No matter how much IVs or pet therapy we did. And it shows...
cameras go down and then it shows us the morning after but cameras went down but um it's crazy seeing you in that headspace and then talking to you now like who is that girl yeah i wasn't nervous at all um i don't know if it's a combination of like you're not in a hospital doing a procedure like you're you're in a doctor's office but it's like you know whatever so i
My mom came down with me. They retrieved a total of 28 eggs and then they call you like the next morning to see how many matured. So they took out 28. I only had 13 survive. So I have 13 frozen right now. Wait, how do they die? They like don't mature. They're like...
No, thank you. It's sad, actually. Not to, like, just understand relatively. Yeah. Is that, like, a good amount of eggs? That's a really good amount of eggs. I... Now, I could choose to do another round if I want to, or I could, like, stick with that number. I haven't, like, fully decided. If I do another round, I would do it in the fall. I need to, like, give my body a break. Yeah.
She's like, if I'm going to have a football team, I need more eggs. Well, obviously, I'm asking chat GPT everything. I'm like, okay, it's 13 eggs. Is that? And they're like, you could get one child from that. You could possibly get... It's just all the things. But the place I'm doing it at truly answers every single question. I have my follow-up appointment this week to ask all those questions. But I'm very proud of myself for...
Like doing the whole process. The one thing I'll say about it, it's harder than you think it's going to be. And it's also way easier than you think it's going to be. That's what they say about motherhood in general. Yeah. Like I underestimated how good I was going to be at the shots. Like I was most nervous for doing the shots to myself. And that was like kind of a breeze. Mm hmm.
What I underestimated was after the egg retrieval, like I've been bloated now for like I'm on my fourth day. My boobs are killing me. And then I like remind myself, I'm like, OK, my body went through like a trauma thing.
fit like experience i have to give myself some grace and just like rest and chill it feel after you get it done it feels like you just have your period like you have like cramping like you have your period when you walk you're just like very aware of your ovaries almost
Oh my god. I can't explain it. It's just like, you know when your period's about to drop and you're just like, oh yeah, I can feel it. That's how it feels like recovering. This is a really long callback. The OG gigglers would get it. How are your hormones? Okay, so obviously last week I'm like flying high. I'm glowing. Yes, you were so happy. Being a woman is so empowering. Sadron.
She was in the best mood. She was telling everyone, like, maybe I was lacking estrogen and now I'm at the perfect level. I still believe that. I think I'm low on estrogen.
at base level this week okay on the fourth day which is tomorrow of christmas sunday monday tuesday tomorrow will be my fourth day post-surgery is now when my hormones are about to drastically drop oh no because now i have it i'm now it's a full week where i like haven't been giving myself shots so you're gonna like punch a wall i'm definitely like a little bit emotional for me okay
So like, okay, here's an example. Last night I was on TikTok and I'm just like scrolling and I kept getting people's weddings that like a parent died or like a grandparent died and like how they like incorporate them into their wedding. No. How did you get on that? And I'm like, wait, why are you crying about Hannah's dead grandpa? Wait, my grandpa came through.
Also, if anyone heard from what the psychic said, is that like motherhood is a big thing for you. So there's a lot of a lot of very like serendipitous that I did it over Mother's Day weekend. I feel I just feel like less. I truly do feel like less pressure. It's like, OK. And even if I only have one child, that is like what is meant for the world, you know?
and i have them to follow up questions and not to get in the weeds but because you you have pcos
Were you more worried? I don't even know if I do. Oh, wait. Did I make that up? No. I've been literally telling everyone. I lose pages PCOS. You're the spokesperson of PCOS now. Literally. I did have one doctor tell me I have it. Then I've had another doctor tell me I don't, which if I've learned anything about it from talking to the other girls, it is extremely hard to diagnose. And the same thing happens to them. I really don't think I have it.
because I feel like they would have seen in all these ultrasounds, like if I had any cysts. Yeah. And my levels. Oh, here was the other thing. Cause remember I was like supposed to have to, I was going to have to go on birth control, like prior to doing the shots. Yes.
They tested my blood and whatever, and they said my levels were normal as if I had had a period. So I could just start with a shot. So I never had to do the birth control, which is weird, too. So I'm like, okay, so then why didn't I bleed? Maybe you've conned the system. The female body...
No. Incredible. Incredible. And it's so incredible that male doctors were like, we're just not going to figure it out. Here's another thing I've learned. It's a lot more emotional than I thought. Like once I had the retrieval, like it did kind of hit me where I was like, oh, my God, I'm making decisions for my life in 10 years. A man could never. A man could literally never. Yeah.
Then after, as I'm in like recovery, like I would say peak kind of like hurting and bloat was like two days. I think like my boobs being sensitive is like peak right now. I cannot, to all of the women who have had one child, two children, three, five,
I don't know how they're doing it. I don't know how their bodies are recovering. The women that have to do multiple rounds of IVF, because essentially I did like the first part of it, like they have to get the eggs out and then like do the embryos, get it put back inside of them. Like that's a whole different process. Uh,
The women that you hear where they're like, we did four rounds. How? How did their body? I don't know how the female body does it. And everything you feel like is just so tender. And you're like, I grow human life. The fact that women aren't.
These like seen as these goddesses in society. I don't get it. Our bodies are capable of alien behavior. This is a matriarchy. It's crazy. And after all that. Sorry that I have a mason jar with my.
cold brew this is so millennial i know you're so millennial pinterest barn marriage look at the picture behind me millennial and then you have a headband on is that millennial oh my god i mean probably at this point probably at this point we can't help it even though identify as gen z um no i'm so so proud of you and yeah it is just like crazy we're kind of growing up
No, it's crazy. And here's the other thing. I, the typical day round for shots is like anywhere from 10 to 14, 14. I only did seven days of shots because my body was just like moving faster than average. Um,
I'm like literally in no other situation in my life. I'm like, well, this is definitely a burst. I'm not sure. Oh my God. So that's the only reason that I'm like, if I decide to do another round in the fall, it really was just like a week out of my life to do those shots. And now I'm just recovering. This segment is presented by Mattress Firm and ACAS Creative.
I want to talk about sleep. Because this is basically a sleep podcast. The only thing we're specialists at is sleeping. Paige, what do you do to have the best sleep of your life? I do so many things before bed. Like, I need hours before bed.
I have so many self-care things. My new thing is not sleeping with my phone physically in my bed, but on my nightside table. You used to fall asleep when we were roommates. Holding it. Like you'd be like. I'd like look at it. You'd be like mid yelling at your boyfriend. I'm working on Chinese markets, you know, like I need to have my phone all the time.
I do a lot of self-care things, but here's my number one thing, and it would not be possible without my mattress for a mattress. My adjustable base bed. I love it. Look at me. My mattress for a mattress changed my life. It saved my marriage. The one thing you should invest in in life is your mattress. My mattress for a mattress, I'm going to even go a step further and say that it may make me not get married because I'm like...
In what world is someone coming in here? Because when you go to bed at night, you go, what do I need? Nothing else. This is perfect. Okay, I'm a side sleeper. Do you put a pillow in between your knees or you're not old enough yet? I'm not old enough yet. Give it a year. Give it a year, you'll get there. And then sometimes I'm a back sleeper. But then, hey...
I might go tummy time for a little bit. Do you want to know something chaotic? Yeah. I start on my tummy and I put one leg out. Yeah. You know, when a four. Yes. When one leg is out like a chicken leg, you know, it's going to be good night's sleep. Like women do that more to open up their hips. Yeah. It's something with our hips. I have a lot of trauma stored in my hips. That's for another time. But then I'll eventually feel like a little uncomfy. So I go side and then I wake up on my back.
And that's a full turn, a full journey of 360. And you can't catch me. I'm moving. I'm grooving. 360, if you will. One thing I did learn about being on tour is that I love my bed at home.
I was taking her for granted. She has so many things that she's capable of doing. She could run the country. Like if more people had my mattress, I think there would be less chaos. I also think it's important with mattress firm. You can go in and try them all. Oh, and I did go.
go like take a day I actually returned one like I got one brought her home yeah tried her out and said not for me I love that when I'm on tour honestly I'm so tired from traveling that I just pass out but like I wake up and I don't know where I am yeah and you're like I would love my own I wish I was with my cat in my bed and butter really likes my mattress too yeah you have to make sure your cat likes it that's true that's a big really important thank

This is a perfect transition because you've been, like, you're in your mother era, and you also posted on Instagram that you are a bridal influencer accidentally. Why do you think... Look at this full interview. I'm Barbara Walter-ing you, but, like, you have been wearing...
like why are you wearing the cutest bridal fits but just like it's kind of empowering like just because you want to you're like this is a good fit froze my eggs um
I feel like, no, truly nothing behind it other than like when it gets above the temperature of like 65 in New York, I'm like, we're all wearing white. Also, like you got a good spray tan. We're wearing white. We're wearing ivory. It's winter is over. I've switched from black to white. Clutch my pearls. We're simple girls. Ooh.
That rhymed. So you wore one of your beautiful white outfits to, we got invited to a dinner. Yeah, we went to the Condé Nast New Fronts Dinner. Thank you for having us, Mrs. Nast. You nasty little Nast. The New Fronts Dinner, which we didn't know what it was, and it was at the New York Public Library. Fun little story. Which, what?
Not to like keep on theme of like my wedding. I know what you're going to say. But like all my life, I'm like, I'm not all my life. Honestly, in the beginning of my life, I was like, I'm having a huge New York City wedding. And in the past 10 years, I'm like, no, I'm getting married in Italy. I might be back to like, I'm having a massive New York City wedding. Now that's millennial and I don't care. At the New York Public Library, which is so funny because you can't read.
But as a New York Times bestselling author, oh my God, Hannah, listen to what happened on Mother's Day weekend. I'm with my family, as one does, and my dad says the word, irregardless. And I go, well, that's not a word. And him and my brother both gang up on me and they go, it absolutely is a word. I've said irregardless. I'm like, doesn't matter how long you've said it. Even if it is a word, don't say that word.
Don't say that word. I go, as a New York Times bestselling author...
Three weeks in a row? I know that that's not a word. And I honestly was going out there, going out on a limb. It's not, it is a word, but it's not considered like proper English. It's a mansplaining word. It's like a word a man uses when he's running out of words and like wants to sound better than you. I was like, oh my God, I'm a road scholar. So we get to New York Public Library. Gorgeous. But like,
A bazillion steps. I get dropped off right in front. And I'm walking up. No, Hannah, I almost... I don't know where to go. I almost passed out on the stairs. And I kept trying to make jokes to everyone. Like, wow, a lot of stairs. Like, I'm out of breath. And no one was like...
I was like, oh, okay. You guys are all this in shape. Oh, okay. Sorry. And everywhere you turn, there'd be more steps. But as I, when I first walked up, I didn't know where to go. And I look up and I see a girl who played on the tennis team with me at Wisconsin. And I'm like full glam. Yeah. Full glam.
fancied out. Like she's at the event? No, she just was standing outside. She like lives in New York and was walking. Like New York is such a small world. So crazy. Wait, here's another one more thing about the stairs. You know how you were walking up the stairs and there were like hot young men on each step? Yeah, they had male models. To like help you or they were like ushers or something? As I'm walking up the steps, I felt like I had to give a bit to each person.
I don't know if they were told not to interact, but I'm like, anybody ever fall? No, you've become the creepy uncle at a party. He's the waitress and is like, we hated the food. Yeah.
Well, no, we are at the point where male models are too young for us. Why are they all 22? Where's your facial hair? Oh, my God. No, it's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy going out in New York City situations and it be like, oh, I would be considered a cougar talking to that man. But this is the problem with me. I think I'm Gen Z. When I say I think I know I'm Gen Z and I'm like fully delusional where like someone's talking to me and I'm like, they think I'm 25.
And then every now and then someone would be like, you know, someone our age. And I'm like, whoa. Wait, that's so true. I think I look the same. Wait, here's another thing, another territory that like the girls aren't talking about. And I need to bring it up. You say territory? Yeah, territory. Territory? Give it to me. What's the territory? Are you ever in a situation where you're assuming that someone is...
way not way older than you but like older than you and then you realize and then you almost like offend them because they're like well we're like the same age and you're kind of like but like you don't mean it on purpose like because i'm like oh i like legitimately thought that like you wouldn't have remembered like wouldn't know what i'm talking about because like we're not the same age
It's just here's the thing. We've hit an age where it's murky. I was about to say that. 32, 33, which is us. You can pass as like 26, but you also in a certain light can pass later. And then I was meeting with someone today who's older, but like I don't know how much older, but like not that much older. And I was making fun of my husband. I was like, he's old, he's tired. And she's like, okay, fine.
okay watch how old is he and i was like 49 and she was like okay don't call him tired oh yeah see yeah see you got yourself in a pickle like i was in front of a man you're perfect you right then this is okay this is where the age stuff also annoys me i don't like when people tell me i look like i'm 26 and
oh because okay i hate that here's the difference i fucking love it no because that means i'm of the age where people think they're complimenting me by telling me i look that like i'm 26 like do i look young no i just am young the italian blood is strong and the olive oil as jennifer lopez would say is keeping us young however i as you know me i love something that makes me look old um
I love a gray. You've been trying. I love a wrinkle because it shows that I've seen some shit and I've been through some shit. Don't try me because I've survived. I'm a survivor. I'm more vain than you are. 100%. Like you... Okay. That was...
Wow. No, because you take care of yourself. Nothing in life is 100%. We start fighting. No, 72. No, like you, you take care of yourself. Well, you're,
But you're so good at like, you don't even look. That's the thing. You don't even look in the mirror. If you don't look in the mirror, you have nothing to be upset about. Yeah. Like you rarely, I feel like you, you're really good at not judging yourself. Physically. Yeah. Emotionally. It's, it's not good. Okay. It's really bad. Well, you know what it is? It's like when I'm sitting and I'm in my thoughts, you know, fighting the imaginary fights, it's,
That's like you standing in front of the mirror and dissecting yourself. It's the same kind of mental illness. When I'm in a hard time, I immediately go to like, what can I change about my appearance? Yes. That's why you're doing skincare right now. Yeah. That's why I'm like chat GPT. What's my glow up before Memorial Day weekend? Yes. You think external factors help your internal, which sometimes do. Wait, I'm feeling a mental health. I'm feeling a mental health. Mama, come on. Let's. Okay. Yeah.
First of all, did you know that an octopus holds grudges? I love that. That's why they're an Italian delicacy. That's why you can have them fried. That's why you can also have them not fried. You can have a Mediterranean salad, olive oil, lemon, prosciutto, whatever you need. That was just a side note. But anyway.
As someone who deals with anxiety and depression, shout out. If you listen to this pod, you probably do too. It's just algorithmic. Sorry about that. I always have been trying to tell myself, like, do not believe all your thoughts, right? What are you looking for? Yeah. Are you looking for... I was looking to see if I had a charger, but I...
You always know when I'm looking for something and I do, and I didn't want to bend down. You're like, I'm looking for that eye cream. We're at the second phase of the skincare. She's like, what's my, um, yeah. So the whole concept of like not believing your thoughts really helped me through a lot of things. But recently I've actually been kind of forgot about it. You know, when you like forget something you learned. So I have been listening to my thoughts too much. Yeah. I listened to my thoughts and then people were like, they're not all real. Um,
But you're like, well, some of this could be like me warning myself, like something's coming, like I need to attach to this thought and figure it out to make sure it's legit or not. But by that time, you're already spiraling. So what I learned is your subconscious thoughts are not real.
And I love that you're like, oh my God, I have to listen to my gut. That's not your subconscious thoughts. If you have to think something, you will consciously think it and you will figure it out. But if you just get a thought arise out of nowhere, don't chase it, don't analyze it. And I was on some weird like Quora thread, don't ask why, I was in a dark place. And this guy said it's healthy to like label it. Wow, that's when I'm like, that's when I'm deep in like I have some type of ailment.
When you're on Quora. I'm like, and if you pee, and it's a different color. And if your pussy is secreting what? So this guy on Quora said, and you can't even comment. You can't even click on Quora. Anyway.
Who even has a Quora account anyway? No one's ever had a Quora account. But he basically said when you have a thought and you're like, oh, I should latch on to this. I should figure it out. No, it's what the thought wants. Instead, label it. And he labels it a brain fart.
Now, that really speaks to you. That speaks to me because not only am I labeling it, but I'm making myself giggle. So I get a let's say I get a I'm gonna give you guys an example. What's a good I get a thought. Oh, my God. I'm gonna embarrass myself playing tennis next weekend. I'm not gonna do well.
Now you have two things you could do. You could go into it and be like, oh yeah, what'll happen? How do I prevent myself from playing bad? And next thing you know, you're in deep. You're swimming with the sharks. Or I go, that was a subconscious weird thought. Instead of going, don't think that thought. Don't think it. You're still thinking about it. Just go brain fart, period. Brain fart. Brain fart. Yeah.
Bye. Okay. This is so interesting because I saw a TikTok this week that I was like, I can't wait to say this to Hannah because it's all about like your inner voice to yourself. There was a TikTok and it was like, in your mind, scream your name. Now in your mind, whisper your name. And like, it's different. Yeah.
And it did you do it? Yeah. Did it? And then it and then the video was like, see how you can tell that voice what to do. Like, you just have to be more conscious of that throughout the day. Like, you just told your voice to, like, yell, then whisper. You can actually, like, tell them other thoughts. Yes. And I just thought that was so. Yeah. Like, you're in charge. I feel like your your brain is basically like your own chat GBT. That's like kind of gone rogue.
Like it has all the information on you and then it starts like spouting out. Should I go dive deeper into that? And it's like, I didn't ask you to. No, literally. Or it'll be like, do you remember this one memory when you were a kid and that was really upsetting to you? And you're like, why are you bringing that up? Why are you bringing that up? Speaking of like mental health, can we talk about Molly Mae? Oh, yeah.
Molly. My sweet, sweet girl. My sweet, sweet girl. So Molly Mae, second season came out. I'm only one episode into the second season. She's going through it, which...
We love. She's like absolutely going through it. She's like completely back with Tommy. And it's such like this. But is she? Yeah. Like on Instagram, they're like back. Oh, on Instagram right now. But like starting the second season, they're still like, honestly, you could just. She's just broken. It kind of soft launched. It soft launched it that like they're going to get back together. And they made out in New York, not New York City, New Year's.
And if you've ever, like, been Molly Mae or been friends with a Molly Mae, which I feel like I've been in both situations, it is so hard to, like, watch your friend go through that. And it's so hard to be her because you're like, okay, well, if obviously all my friends want me happy and if I'm happy by getting back together with him, like, why aren't they happy for me? And I feel like she's, like, kind of going through, like, that type of thing where I –
Obviously, we're not friends with Molly Mae in real life, but I'm like, if it makes you happy to be his girlfriend again, I love it for you. I agree with you in that you can't make someone do anything because if she in her heart of hearts feels like there's more to this relationship with her and Tommy, she will never move on from it. She'll always be like, what if, what if, what if? It's more like sometimes as a friend, I realize you have to let them fuck up.
Like, let them live their life. And you have to let people do things on their own time schedule. Also, also, let's give her some empathy that, like, she has a child with this man. It's not like this random, like, DJ that, like, keeps cheating on her and she, for no reason, keeps fucking him in his one-bedroom apartment. This got specific, but, like, it's... She has a family with this guy and she had a dream of what her life would be like. Honestly, I wonder if she's in her Saturn return. That's what it's giving. Oh, my God. I...
I'm in my... You know what else you can do on chat sheet, PT, which I feel like people don't know about? Astrology? You can do all your astrology. Oh my God. And I just ended a seven-year cycle. Wait. First of all, congratulations. Second, you could also do a color chart thing. What do you mean? You can ask them for your colors. Like, am I a summer and a winter? And I'm doing that tonight. But also, we do not want anyone to be out of work because of this.
So contact your Instagram color chart analysis person. Yeah. Contact your local astrologer. And your local astrologer because it's not going to hit the same. And it's about how people actually analyze it from a human way. You're so right. Thank you. No, period. I do have to say, though, it was kind of crazy. The scene where she was like, went to the L'Oreal Paris thing and didn't want to walk the runway. Yeah.
I know. And she just kept going, how pretty is Kendall Jenner? How pretty is Kendall Jenner? That's the shit that I don't understand. And one, it's because I'm delusional. But two, I'm just like, you are you. So great you and you're so beautiful. I'm like, wait, Molly, you're stunning. Like, you're...
It's like a weird imposter syndrome. A perfect example too is I was watching it with my mom and my mom has no idea who Molly Mae is. And I'm giving her like general background. And I'm like, the only way to describe her is you just want to be her friend. And then like one episode in, I'm like, are you obsessed with Molly Mae? And she's like, and she's just the cutest. Like you just get like obsessed with her. I just love her so much. Um,
Shoot, what was I just going to say? Well, we didn't finish the story about... Ann Wintour. Yeah. But then I was going to say something, but it'll come back to me. So we're struggling up the stairs. We're hitchhiking up these stairs. And we're also wearing very nice clothes. I thought I was going to get there before you. You said 15 minutes. I was 10 minutes away. I come to the front and I say, where is...
is Paige DeSorbo here? And they go, yes, she's here. And immediately I panic. I go, oh no, Paige is alone in a foreign place without me. Well, I was panicking at that moment too, that I was in a foreign place without you. So this is a huge ballroom. Paige, for some reason, is standing alone at a table. So like a scared little person.
princess and I have this like cute moment where I'm across the room and as she's turning I wait for her to lock eyes with me and I say I'm here and then she starts smiling and I run up to you and then we latched
We latched on. We latched. We took some photos by the ladder, which I did not have to put my foot on the ladder. That was an insane pose. They asked you to. They did, but I thought they should have been like... Yeah, they should have been like, and one picture with it was fine. And it was a creative choice that we regret. I also felt so swollen that night. Yeah.
You looked gorgeous. I was fully pregnant. No, that was my maternity dress. Like my stomach could not have been more bloated. That was really like your maternity style is maybe crazy. It's going to be crazy. It's going to be so good. You're like already have Pinterest boards. I know it. No, I'm really hoping that like the peak of my pregnancy is the spring.
Are you going to show the belly? Like, are you going to do those like open button shirts and stuff? You know what? I don't know. I'm going to I'm it's not going to be my whole personality. But there will be occasions where it's like, oh, and that's an accessory. Yes. But I'm not going to do it like all the time, because honestly, I think it's like overdone. It's like we get it. Yeah.
Oh, you're pregnant again this month? You were pregnant last month? It's like, unless you're Rihanna, honestly, I don't, like, care. Also, do whatever you want. Literally, do whatever the fuck you want. I don't give a shit. Are you going to do a photo shoot? Yes, but just for yourself. Yeah, but when has that ever happened?
Last time we did something just for ourselves. I don't know. I mean, I'll definitely do one, I think. We meet up with Samantha Barry, who is the editor-in-chief of Glamour. Now, let me just say, editor-in-chief, what a fucking cool-ass title. I legitimately felt like we were in the movie 13 going on 30, and we accidentally woke up, and we were 30, and they were like, and you have to go to this dinner. And we're like, wait, what? What?
Because we're with all these people who have like actual jobs and we're standing there. And so Samantha Berry, I got lucky, is Irish. Knows Des, friends with Des. We're in. I was like, let's, this is great. We're all a big family. So we're chatting with Samantha. You're, you know, doing your thing. Who's in?
Stunning. Stunning. Well, everyone thought she was Lindsay Lohan, which I was fine with. I was like, I know, crazy, meeting Lindsay at the New York Public Library. But no, she's stunning, gorgeous. They really do look similar, yeah. And incredible charisma. Just everything. We love you, Samantha. So we're talking, and then on the corner of my eye, I see a fuck-ass bob. Extremely shiny. The fuck-ass bob. The fuck-ass bob, shiny. And the way she walked was actually levitation. Like, she was...
The whole place stood still as she levitated through. You know what's crazy to think about Anna Wintour when we don't think about it enough? She's just going to after-work dinners.
Like she's literally just doing her normal work day and like she's like, oh, and tonight I have like that dinner. Shout out to Anna Wintour for being on the fucking grind. Met Gala Monday. Who knows what she did then Wednesday at this after work drinks talking to people like and apparently she's in every meeting like she is not just the face of something like she's in the weeds. Anna Wintour. I don't know how she does it.
I don't know how she does that. So she starts coming our way because we're hanging out with an editor-in-chief. Like, that's editor-in-chief right there. She starts coming our way. I remembered what I was going to say previously, but just keep going. The gigglers want to know. Now I'm stressed that you're going to forget it again. No, I'm not. So stressed. No, I'm not. Yeah, you are. So you forgot already. The gigglers are freaking out. They wrote because you posted the photos and they were like, Paige, how nervous were you?
that you've waited your whole life to be in front of Anna Wintour. And my big ass mouth was in between you and Anna Wintour. And I represent you. We were introduced together that I was going to say something that would ruin your forever future of going to the Met Gala. I was so...
This was such a top person on my list to meet. This was such a bucket list moment for me that I went, mum, silence. I couldn't say anything. I couldn't think. I was like, not the time to try out a joke. Anything in my head that I thought to say, I was like, not the time. So I kind of just let Samantha talk the most because there was nothing I could do but nod and smile.
So for some reason, I was feeling myself. Yeah. And she's we started my beer. You can't think of anything to say. I was fully riffing with Anna Wintour. She well, she commented on the stairs and I said, this is my I'm a huge stair. We've been talking, joking about stairs for a while now. We have to discuss the stairs. I'm a stair comedian. Yeah, I'm a stair comedian. We're laughing. And then.
Like Anna Wintour, I think it's also because she's British. She's dry. She's funny. I was like, she just wants a little laugh. And then I think I said something corny where I was like, you know, thanks for everything you do or something really general. Like, you know, when you're just...
You know, you don't know what to say. And world peace. And world peace. Like, you know, they're great, but you don't know what words to put together. But then I turned to you and me. What could we say to Anna Wintour that hasn't been said about her or to her? A thousand percent. I know she looked at us up and down. She gave us a little. No, I felt it. I felt it. I sucked in and I and then I was like, I need to bring the comedy here. So she laughs. We made her giggle. We're on cloud nine. I turn to you and I go, you feel good?
And you were like, yeah. And I realized like that's if like Serena Williams walked up to us. Yeah. I would have shot my pants. You would have been riffing silly funny. I would have been like, yeah, I would have been like adorable skirt obsessed. But no, Anna Wintour is also on my bucket list. Just everything she's accomplished is she's an icon. It really was crazy. And then I literally had to.
Full speech, like full mingling. And then I literally scooted out there to give myself a shot at 915. Can I call you out on something you did before that?
You are all nervous. You don't know who to be friends with. And I'm standing by you and I'm holding your hand. And then I haven't like felt Paige's energy in a minute. I look over. You've made like a best friend in the woman next to you to the point that you were like ignoring me. I was like, Paige, and you were like, I gave her my number. No, you fell in. I watched you fall in love with this woman to the point that I was like, you're having a fair in front of me. She texted me asking me how my egg retrieval went.
Also, she was pregnant. So Paige was like, she was pregnant. Sorry, the mothers are talking. I was like, okay. So I was fully like going to take care of you the whole time because I was worried for you because you had social anxiety. And then you literally left me to die.
And then you were like, oh, I need to take my shot and left. And I was sitting there like, okay. No, also in that moment, I was like, this is, there are such trade-offs of motherhood. I can't imagine, you know, like I can't wait to dive into it when the day is right. Mm-hmm.
You don't even have to Irish exit anymore. You can literally stand up at a table of nine women and say, I'm leaving. It pertains to my children. And they're like,
get out of here get out of here lucky you even came here in the first place yeah they're like can't believe you even made it out of the house you know so i stood up and i said guys i have to give myself a shot in the abdomen i'm gonna be late and they're like go on and prosper i think like you're one of my first close close friends to freezer eggs or at least tell me about it so i didn't know what like the social stigma was but i was like really loosey-goosey i think
cause you had told people, but I realized later like maybe you shouldn't, but I was like, Oh, Paige is freezing her eggs. And some girl looks at me. I'm like, Oh, freezing her egg. Like I told everyone there's no HIPAA like between us, but I feel like you wait to see that your friend is like, okay with, with that first. But I felt like you were kind of loving the attention. No, I was again, if there's another thing about motherhood that I've learned, I'm going to love my baby shower. I,
Like I am thinking more about my baby shower than any wedding event, you know? And I was trying to see like, okay, how am I going to carry? Is my mouth going to get swollen? And so the day my mom gets to my apartment, she gets to my apartment. Now I'm going the next morning for my egg retrieval. So I'm like peak bloat.
And I in classic like mother fashion, I'm like, this is so adorable. Look at how I'm going to carry just like so tiny. And she looks at me and she goes, you think?
Just like that, you need 20 more years of therapy. Yeah, I was like, wait. Only a mom could do that. Well, that reminds me. You sent me a bloated photo of you and you had your hand on your lower back like it was hurting. I'm practicing. I'm practicing poses. Your method acting. You're like, I identify as a pregnant woman. I'm cosplaying. I literally went out to lunch for Mother's Day and I'm like, I have to wear a low rise. I'm literally like my stomach.

Here's what I remembered what I was going to say because we touched on the Bill Belichick of it all and Jordan last week. What'd she do? Since then she's been banned. Wait I love a girl who's been banned like justice for her like I don't know what to hear what she said. I think obsessed. She was banned from literally like his entire facility of like North Carolina like where he works like banned from the whole thing.
Wait, I didn't even know he worked. I thought he was retired. He's the coach of North Carolina. Oh, I didn't know that. Oops. And she competed for Miss Maine this past weekend. She got third. Oh, wow. So she's busy, too. She's busy, too. She's like, cool, ban me. I'm busy in Maine.
I didn't want to go to your party anyway. She's competing. And Bill goes to support her, which we love. We love a supportive gang. Here's the only thing. He's sitting next to her dad, who he is. He is older than her dad. And for me, I thought, hmm. Hmm.
Now this I don't... This I don't appreciate. I didn't... I couldn't... Well, what's interesting... I couldn't understand... Did you see Jordan's ex is also like in the 70s? No. Yeah, so it's not like she ran... This is her thing. She has a thing. Interesting. Which, you know, I'm not going to yuck someone's yum. Yeah, me neither. I do have to say...
It's like when someone blocks you on Instagram, you're like, oh, so you're that obsessed with me? That's how it's giving them banning her. I'm like, why are you? What did she do? Right. I feel like you have to do a lot of things to get banned from anywhere. I mean, I'm probably banned from BravoCon, but that's what I'm saying.
They have your picture in the back room. They're like, if anyone sees her, take her out immediately. Wait, there's... If Bravo... Here's the thing. One thing I'll say about Bravo. One, Bravo should bring back their commercials. Me and Hannah were always pitching Bravo Leopardies in an office, doing office things. Like the sports broadcaster. Like the SPN old commercials. But also...
Why they don't vlog BravoCon with like a certain number of Bravo leberties and just send a camera with them the entire weekend and make it like the office. Like they're really missing out on some like really funny skits and bits. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Look, we're producers. We're producing. We're literal producers. Sorry. We're creative. Yeah. Yeah.
Sorry, this brain's always moving. Also, you're chugging coffee right now. It's 8 p.m. Are you going to be able to go to sleep? I'm worried. I'm stressed out now.
I think I... It's mental. Yeah. I think not being able to sleep after caffeine is literally mental and, like, gaslighting yourself. Wait, you're so right. Jet lag is a social construct. Wait, I think I need to move to L.A., though, because I am, like, I live a good life there. I wake up so late here. I'm struggling. I'm staying up late. I don't know who she is. Oh, also, another hot take.
And this is going to be choogy. And this is going to make me sound like an actual mother. Wait, I'm obsessed. We need to stop with the smoking. I was walking home today and I saw two very cute girls smoking cigs. And I was like, oh, hell no. Gen Z.
Like 19. No way. No way. This is how, no, but this is how trends work. Like we work so hard to stop smoking to the point that it was like gone that now it's like become cool again to smoke. Cause they like forgot that it was bad. Also. I love Addison Rae. I think all her songs slapping, um,
We do not need the cig to look cool. Stop with the cigarettes and fashion. Stop. And like it's and it's also like cosplaying, like try like give me a prop to try to look cool. Yeah. Instagram photos where people have a cig. Stop it. The only appropriate place to smoke a cig is in Europe in the summer. And it has to be a skinny cig. And you have to be you have to be drunk or sitting at a small circular table.
And that's the only... And that's just the rules. And that's just the rules. If you are in the confines of the United States of America, it's not cigarette time. I told you when I was in high school, my friend was going through a breakup and she had her dramatic... She took out the cigarettes and I took it and I threw it away. And she was so mad at me and I said, I just saved your life. Also, Jewel, like a normal person... You were the kid in class that took dare like super seriously.
I'm not even smoking weed at that point. So then I see a cigarette and I was like, oh my God, how were you when you, when you were like post-college and you realized everyone did cocaine? No one told me about it. Literally no one told me till like last year. They were like, we were coked out. And I was like, what? No.
No one tells me. You turn 23 and you're like, okay, so toilet paper's crazy expensive. Cheese is a luxury item and everyone does cocaine. That's insane. Wait, Paige, no one offered me cocaine.
Stop. No one. Hannah. I think it's the energy I bring to the function. They think I'm already coked out. They're like, she stole. They're like, she should be offering it to us. Honestly, I agree. So Hannah stole someone's cocaine and doesn't need any more. The coke went missing and we're pretty sure it was Hannah. Wait, it's giving? Everyone thought I was already coked out. Is that a compliment? Shout out to me for getting on Dumois. Wait a minute.
Kind of like epic. I literally screeched out a du mois this past Sunday and sent it to Hannah and it was like, literally sounded like you and Chelsea Handler were like on a lesbian dinner date. It's Hannah and Chelsea at the Soho Grand. Hannah was laughing and they left like arm in arm and I was like... The last sentence, leaving arm in arm was...
crazy i love the funny thing is so chelsea's my new friend and as we all know chelsea loves drugs so i'm battling with myself being like do i do drugs no talking to my childhood icon no she's experienced well also if i do drugs in front of her and it goes bad i'll never work in this town again so i think would you even try well i think they like having fun with like mushrooms yeah again
Unnecessary I think I watched She did like an episode where she took something And like I think it was like an Ambien So now I joke with Des I'm like I'm gonna go do ayahuasca with Chelsea tonight And he's like okay have fun But my thing is I'm 33 Best case scenario I like it
And then I like MDMA and I become hooked on MDMA 33. You're like always asking me to go to raves. I'm like, I have a child. I discover dubstep at 33 and I need to go to a Brooklyn warehouse at 33. You text me and you're like, any chance you have a neon fanny pack I can borrow? I'm like, no. Call your doctor.
Yeah, I've just missed the boat. Quick question. Do you have high top Converse that you don't care about anymore? They may get paint on them. I'm like, stop, Hannah. I go, I've started wearing thongs at 33. That's when you know shit's bad. If I ever started wearing thongs. Call the police. Oh, gosh. One other honorable mention. Everyone's...
Still tagging us in all their books whenever they go to read it. Have you been getting it? Like morning coffee. It's crazy. Every Giggler's in Cancun. I don't know how, but every Giggler's on vacation. There are some rich Gigglers. I'm like, wait a minute. I'm like, do a panorama of that room. Can you guys write a book on how to go on these great vacations? But they've also been tagging their pets. And I just have to say shout out to all the cat moms out there. And I love the dogs too. But the cats have...
really good names and i just have to do a shout out to one specific cat with a name that really made me laugh this one girl's cat's name is crunch wrap miss supreme get over here wait i'm obsessed crunch wrap you know it's crazy that like when you do get an animal or a pet yeah you name them a name and then you literally never say that name again what is with that
You know, like, yeah, it's rare that I'm like Daphne. You know, I'm like Miss Girl, Miss Kitty, like Miss Lady. If you don't change her, if you call your cat by their government name, you're not connected to her. Like you don't love her. But I do have two rules for naming your cat or dog. It has to be.
either a real person name like Daphne or Jennifer or Steven. Like I really think that's funny. Yeah. Or a food name. Yeah. You know, someone recently, um, canola, canola. Oh my God. Cute. Like that stuff is like the name pickle, pickle, butter, crunch wrap. So anyway, that's just a side note. Um, anything else?
I have one last thing to say because I feel like we're always talking about travel and how much like we hate the airport and all this stuff. I keep getting TikTok videos of I'm obsessed with ballerinas. I love their aesthetic. I love their vibe. Like I want to be in a girl friend group of ballerinas, you know, and I want them to like low key hate me. Like I just like I'm obsessed with them.
I keep getting all these ballerinas in airports doing full-out routines. Now, usually, like, if I saw that at an airport, I would be like, I'll murder everyone. I'm obsessed. I love it. I love a dancing video when I'm, like, nowhere near involved, but I can, like, watch it. Yeah, I can appreciate it. If I saw two ballerinas doing their thing in the middle of LaGuardia,
I love that. That's the thing. It's not like, you know, when everyone comes together, flash mobs. Okay, that was a millennial thing that was like actually offensive. Like that should never have happened. Like people got engaged in the middle of flash mobs. Yeah, like at Costco. Like it was, no. It's not a flash mob. And it was really a trend. It was really bad. And a lot of people lost a lot of time off their lives with that. Two ballerinas, that's art.
That's like a painting. That's friends hanging out. Yeah, that's that's Fantasia. No, I want it. Can we please go to the ballet? Like I've literally never been to the ballet. All I want to do is like wear a chic, cool. I feel like going to the ballet in the summer in New York City is like, hello, who are we? Wait, I just thought of something to add to our YouTube series. We have to do Hannah and Paige try ballet.
Please, Kenway, do you know Josephine takes adult ballet classes on Wednesday nights? This is my question. Do you think you could like for a second cosplay and like for a second someone will be like, wait, she could be a ballerina.
Cast me in a ballerina ass movie Yeah I've been preparing for the role my whole life See that's where like When I think I could be a chef See ballerina I'm like not for a second Would someone be like Can I have No I think it's because
it's because the movie center stage came out at like a very pivotal moment and it was like I was like eight or like nine where I was like is this like a sexual awakening like I think it was like the first time I was like that's a gay man like like things like that yeah and I just like loved it see I'm more connected to the one um the hip-hop one with Channing Tatum honey Jessica Alba no before that
Julia Stiles. Save the Last Dance. Save the Last Dance. That was more me coded. Um,
Oh, I also was getting photos taken of myself. And at one point, the lady was clearly trying to tell me that, like, I need to make my hands look, like, gentler. Softer. Softer. Would you get that? A lot. A lot. And she kept, and I just kept laughing because she kept being like, and let's relax the fingers. Yeah.
And she kept being like, and let's not tense up the arm. And then it's a trick where, like, when you put your leg over the other leg, you don't actually push down. You, like, pretend. And she just kept being like, and we're light as a feather. And I was like, this is not the vibe that I'm going to give. She's like, and maybe you don't look like this. Maybe you could do something where you look...
Not like you differently from you. I literally have mini hot dogs for fingers. They're not going to look like a ballerina-esque. Right. Anyway, everyone, like, I can't be perfect. Sorry. No, sorry. Sorry I can't be everything for everyone. Sorry I can't freeze my eggs, put them back in my body, have a baby. Like, sorry. Sorry. And have gentle fingers.
And also be soft throughout the day. No, the patriarchy wins again. We love you guys so much. Our new episode just aired of episode two of Hannah Page Try New Things. So check that out.
And we love you guys so much. Thanks for giggling. And to end the ep, we're playing another audiobook excerpt for you to enjoy from How to Giggle, available everywhere now. Third week bestseller. Let's go. I really believe in manifestation, but not like, write this 1,000 times in your journal and it will come true kind of manifestation. More like, believe so deep in your gut that you are already what you want to be.
It's similar to the idea of happiness. You do not have to chase happiness. It's within you. You just have to find it. This is so Brene Brown-coded. Let's continue. I like to think of life like it's a single-player game, and you want to reach new levels of yourself. You can't just go about your day with no goal and expect things to happen. That's like being a quarterback and wanting to win but not having any plays. Let's get some strategy.
I always start big and then get smaller. Write down your biggest goal in the world, such as winning an Oscar. Then go backward to each step and write what you need to do to get to that step. To win an Oscar, I need to be in a successful movie. To be in a successful movie, I need to have acted in other movies.
To act in movies, I need a casting agent. To get a casting agent, I have to get a following on social media for acting videos. To get a following on social media, I need to start posting acting videos every day. To post a video every day, I need an acting coach and to write scripts. Okay, now this is something I can start to do tomorrow. If you hear this and rolled your eyes and called me delusional, go back to chapter three because you didn't retain anything!
Sorry for yelling. I realized that every successful person had a time when they had to start from the beginning. And manifesting keeps you focused and calm while working toward a goal. I really feel like we are all leaves in the wind. And manifesting gives you direction to put your energy and tell the universe what you want. When you put something into the universe, I don't mean witchcraft. I mean when something is on your mind, you will see more opportunities for it and you will tell people about it.
You're planting seeds that can one day grow into your dreams. Farmer girlies, unite. When it starts to feel fun and exciting, that means you're in alignment. If you're not having fun, pivot. Warning girlies, nothing ever goes according to plan, but trust that you are always moving in the right direction. Keep your eyes wide open and stay on track. Paige's Methods
If you made it this far listening, well, then good for you. You are officially a woman in STEM. Of course, the M stands for manifesting, and let's just say I love a TikTok psychic just as much as the next person. But you know me. I have a tough time believing a single thing they say.
The way I like to manifest is extremely page-coded, and it is another excuse for me to make a list. I like to set a five-year totally unrealistic goal list. It doesn't have to be long, and it doesn't have to be totally attainable. That is the beauty of manifesting. You can make it whatever you want. It all depends on you and how you feel about yourself, or whatever Brene Brown says.
I use these lists as a guide for things I would like to accomplish professionally and personally. I look at it once a month. When I do come across this list amid the hundreds of other lists on my phone, I fantasize about how it would feel to be living as that version of myself. Now, I'm not going to tell you to throw cinnamon through your door on a full moon while mercury is in the microwave, but I am going to tell you to really actually fantasize about it.
Whenever I'm in the shower, I always feel like I'm at my most creative and think of so many things. But as soon as I'm out of the shower, it's like I forgot everything and I'm back to reality. Hot girls have short-term memory loss. But that is when I truly manifest what I want.
