Chapter 1: What did Hannah and Paige do in LA?

Chapter 2: Why did Hannah apologize to Megan Thee Stallion?

00:00 - 00:23 Hannah

Hello, my gigglers. Before we get into our wild LA trip, I do want to address our interview with Megan Thee Stallion. Interviewing Megan was a dream of mine. I love her music and it's my go-to to hype me up, get me excited, give me energy, be there for me when I need a boost of confidence, when I'm not believing in myself.

00:23 - 00:36 Hannah

Looking back at the interview, I really wish I used any other word except fight to describe how her songs impact me. Definitely was not the right word. While there wasn't any ill intent, that does not matter.

0

00:36 - 00:45 Unknown

I acknowledge that what I said has a deeper meaning and I'm so sorry to Megan. I appreciate everyone who brought this to my attention.

00:52 - 00:59 Unknown

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

Chapter 3: What is the role of hair extensions in their LA experience?

01:01 - 01:19 Hannah

The gigglers have gone Hollywood. No, we're different. We're different. I wore hair extensions once. My favorite, though, is from my family getting texts, like my mom being like, when did your hair get so long? And Des being like, you should always wear your hair like this. I'm like, guys, this is hundreds of dollars and hours of hair extensions. No, but you want to know what?

0

01:19 - 01:33 Hannah

You should wear your hair super straight like that more. Thank you. You know, we all did that like in middle school, though, right? Yeah. I remember straightening. Didn't look like that. Looked more squarish. I'm going to bring back my straightener. Should we? Let's bring back straighteners.

0

01:33 - 01:42 Hannah

Do you know what pissed me off when people were like, oh, I have a straightener, but I use it for curling my hair. And I'm like, don't be a hero. You know when girls are like, you just have to just use a curler.

0

01:42 - 01:47 Paige

No, just use a curling iron. I've never been able to master that. I mean, it's because it's not a competition.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

Like why are we like, why are we always pitting women against each other? Yeah, people are like, you could do it heatless. Let's just, we're trying to get through the day. No, the heatless girls actually really stress me out. Well, because they're liars. Because they wake up in the morning, no one looks good.

00:00 - 00:00 Paige

No, I've tried the heatless curls countless times. I don't know if I'm wrapping it wrong, but my ends always come out crinkly. Over this last week, I was offered MDMA. I just have to preface this story with Hannah calls me after she goes to this party and she would not stop saying MDMA. And after the fifth time, I was like, it's Molly. Stop saying MDMA, I'm gonna have a freak out.

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

I go, since when is MDMA Molly, you woman in STEM? Like since forever. But I remember in that moment, I wasn't going to say yes, but I pretended I was considering it. Like, I'm like, you know, I normally would. Because I wanted to be cool.

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown

But it's a Saturday night and I can't.

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

It literally was like totally a time where you could do it.

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

Okay, Katie Couric is there. And you have to go quick with this stuff because the class was about to start. I didn't want to get yelled at, which I was going to get yelled at regardless in this class because it was scary.

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown

And you did.

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

And I did. Full name. Government name was yelled out. Yeah. So I just go up to Katie and I go, hi, Katie. We've DM'd before. I'm obsessed with you. And she's like, oh my God, I love you and your co-host.

00:00 - 00:00 Paige

And I point, I go, she's right here. And I said, Katie, I was an assistant in one of the offices that like you had an office in at one time you were working on a documentary. And she was like, oh my God. So then we're fast friends with Katie Couric. We are obsessed with Katie Couric. So it's literally Katie, me, Hannah in the line of Pilates. Yep.

Chapter 5: How do Hannah and Paige handle pregnancy scares?

12:45 - 12:51 Hannah

No, I was like, if it all goes bad, I could be like, you guys saw Wednesday though, right? Right.

0

12:51 - 13:02 Paige

No, I'm going to be honest. When I was getting ready for the Oscar for Vanity Fair, there was a moment in my head that I was just like... And I don't give a fuck about my wedding day because this is my best look ever.

0

13:03 - 13:20 Hannah

But yeah, you're getting lymphatic massages and finally I go, fuck, I need to get a lymphatic massage. I'm going to just do it. Obviously no one's available because every woman in LA is getting a lymphatic massage before the Oscars. I got something called a diamond facial. I said, hey, can you do this on my body? She's like, anything with diamonds? Yes, I don't care what it does.

0

13:21 - 13:31 Hannah

They're like, it's going to make you bleed. And you're like, yeah. So I go online and I'm clicking every lymphatic drainage place near me. Find just a woman in an apartment.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown

Awesome.

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

And I was like, the price is right. Safe. She does face and body. I said, we're doing it. So I just went to a random apartment building somewhere in LA.

00:00 - 00:00 Paige

What is wrong with you?

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

Look. I feel like in LA, people aren't doing legal things in their apartment. You know that it's sketchy when the first thing they ask you when you walk in is, how'd you find me? She literally was like, how did you find me?

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown

How'd this come across your desk?

Chapter 6: What insights were shared at the Vanity Fair party?

21:09 - 21:29 Paige

i don't know i just like appreciated him and then after he was like he was like wait you guys are like really good at this and like i really enjoyed myself what do you do and hannah was like oh we have a podcast and he was like what's it called like i'm gonna listen i was like no i'm obsessed with you i want to have mutual friends with him because i want to go to dinner and talk about people with him

0

21:30 - 21:32 Paige

I feel like he'd actually be so good.

0

21:32 - 21:51 Hannah

It also like some of these A-listers were so nice and normal. I think that's why I started being like they're all just humans because you think they're going to be like AI bots. No. Who knew that Giggly Squad Jesse Eisenberg was going to be the collab of the century. We also got so lucky that our first interview was the honorable Amy Poehler.

0

21:52 - 21:56 Paige

Couldn't, that was the comedy God saying, you're gonna be okay. No, that was.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

And also what was hard is they would see a celeb and they couldn't always immediately get them on because there were like multiple people interviewing. But Amy went out of her way, waited. Yep. Also, cute zaddy she was with.

00:00 - 00:00 Paige

Yeah, she was.

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

Obsessed. And Amy is a giggler. So we just, we love her so much. Do you know how many viral moments Amy has at these award shows? No, it's insane. And like meme-able.

00:00 - 00:00 Paige

Her meme with the sunglasses on and the hoodie, everyone uses that every single year. Insane. The amount of times I quote her in my own home and I don't even remember that it's her.

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

Yeah, she's the nicest person ever.

Chapter 7: Did Hannah and Paige have any disagreements before going live?

22:38 - 22:43 Paige

You're like, that's exactly what I wanted you to be. Yes. That's how I thought you were going to be in my head.

0

22:43 - 23:04 Hannah

This is how I know I like people. When I'll like say a side remark and they like listen and respond to it. You know those people who you say stuff and they just don't acknowledge it and they keep talking? Sorry, what'd you say? I knew you could do that. There's a lot of famous people that I'll say a side remark and they'll never catch it. For 10 minutes, they won't acknowledge anything you say.

0

23:05 - 23:18 Hannah

Or you have to yell it. Where Amy, I'll say something and bomb my breath and she'll look and laugh. She's in it. She's in it with you. She's locked in. She's locked in. She's so cool. She's so fucking funny. Okay, I'm obsessed. I need to get a restraining order.

0

23:18 - 23:23 Paige

Let's talk about the beef we had before we went live. That's a cat. Okay.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

Hi, Mango. We have a cat today who's helping us produce named Mango. He's an orange tabby. He's gorgeous. He's being very brave right now because he doesn't know any of us because he's Andrew Collins' cat who's squatting in my apartment, New York City. Can you get these people out of my apartment?

00:00 - 00:00 Paige

Hannah and I almost... We almost fought before we went live.

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown

Oh, yeah?

00:00 - 00:00 Paige

Because Hannah wouldn't let me stand on the last side for my dress because it's her bad side. And I took one for the team, and I said, you know what? I don't want her to feel uncomfortable because I'm someone, if I hate my outfit, I have to leave. Yeah. And so if you hate that side of your face, I didn't want you to have to.

00:00 - 00:00 Hannah

We had a moment. We had a moment.
