The following podcast is a dear media production they say don't meet your idols Give me six minutes, and that's where I The trauma of reality be bonded us in a way where laughs are really got us through men's biggest fears getting embarrassed Yeah, this is their worst nightmare Not you Pretty basic hey guys, what's up welcome back to pretty basic I am Remy Cruz. I am Alicia Marie, and we are here with they say don't meet your idols, but Stop because you've been in my ether forever But like I think cuz you guys are cool youtubers like I got intimidated. No. No, I was like they edit and shit They be like jump cuts Those quick late honors. I have to say I already told you and Alicia just told you - we are new gigglers I Found you guys I mean I've always like heard of giggly squad and then I really started listening like maybe maybe like a couple months ago Like I'm very new, but I became obsessed and then when we just recently went on vacation together for two weeks Just us - wait, that's true. Love. Thank you, right? We're like we didn't fight and I'm like I think people are gonna be like do they fight a lot But it's like no - rare with your best friend and I hope just us - essentially the whole time We met up with my parents, but like hotel room just us - I was obviously like playing podcasts Full volume because I was getting ready and things. I was like do you want to hear this? Well, she laughs she'll have headphones in and just goes Oh, I love the little air out of your nose like I'm listening do you want to listen - yeah for sure so she starts playing and I'm literally hysterically crying and laughing I'm like these girls remind me so much of us, but it's not like you're me and Paige's Remy It's like a mix of both for both of us So I literally was like where I've been needing a new podcast to listen to of just like absolute whatever like I don't I don't need to solve like rocket science here. I just want to like be entertained and listen to something So I giggle. I just like giggle. I feel like a good relationship like romantically or just friends is you sitting there them laughing at something you go What's funny? Yeah, all you do the whole time. Wait, what made you laugh? It's like this real, but Having other podcasters say that they like your podcast makes my head so fucking bit It is the nicest compliment ever and I appreciate that so much and I think a lot of people do relate to Paige and I because we are so different But then a lot of people are like can I be like like a little bit of both and we started this whole like This is Paige coated and this is Hannah coated so like wearing it cargo pants is Hannah coated but like wearing cargo pants with a kitten heel is Paige so true and I also just love the fact that like Women are multifaceted like I could be a boss while being depressed and I could be really hot while like farting I'm the most successful when I'm depressed I'm like I can't be creative I've become absolutely obsessed You upload on Tuesdays, right? We try okay. Yeah, cuz you get it a Sunday. You're throwing me for a loop I'm like I'm getting into the rhythm of becoming a gig. Oh my god So the fun thing about being a giggler is we joke that we are very bad at admin so admin is you know? And then and then Grace Grace her neck. So Grace is our CEO. Enjoy her ice cream she fainted an airport broke her jaw and We it was so scary and then we were like how scary for the podcast for the podcast mostly and But it's so funny cuz we've been sending her all these like random juices and drinks She's probably just like shitting herself. She's like you sent me a 12-day cleanse She's fighting for her life from her butthole and her mouth no, but it was dirty I We've had this like it's just like girlhood and it's fun community and she's like I call her my Argenzi correspondent and we love her so much and it's hard to bring someone in to like Your your team. Yeah, so we finally found this girl who is so incredible So when she was hurt like the whole gig with community was upset the whole giggly community was hurt as well Yeah, and she is so funny cuz she's so shy like I found out through the grapevine. No people say yeah That it was her birthday, and she didn't want to tell us But like I saw a friend repost something and I was like you're so the opposite of me and Paige We will make any excuse to get attention Yeah, and this girl is like I respect that trying to and I was like this is why we're we work out together And I was like can I tell the gigglers about your accident? She was like if you want okay, I'm like cuz we need like a good 15 minutes making fun of it And then link to go fund me, you know exactly like did she get her jaw sewn it's not a little thing honestly it's too gross I told her I don't want the details. Okay, she was like send me photos and I was like, that ain't boss I was like send that to your mom or something What page and I were like do we have an each hour like are we gonna intro? Like oh my god, of course whatever you need anything like shit. What do we do like how do we well? The funny thing is with giggly squad is we started As Instagram lives during covid stop that was our origin story. Okay. I was gonna say again. We're newer We're gonna need a little bit. Oh, I'll give it all to you. We'll be sitting up So it started because we were on this TV show together and the the funny part about the show is Reality TV is not necessarily comedy. I think they like to laugh at you, but they don't love when you're like in on the joke Oh my god, I thought we were just like narrating. We thought we were the office We would we would tell like the camera guy to like come into the bathroom and we'd be like riffing. Oh my god I cut and obviously none of it is not even recording No, I cuz like sometimes the camera guys like we're on our break and we're gonna want to watch But they have structure like they have conversations they need to get and we're like hey page is like He's like her stomach hurts and I can make you want to go in there like no To on the show well, we knew of each other in New York City. Okay, like she had we worked for the same company Like briefly and we had hit it off But like you know making friends as an adult like unless I see you every day like it's it's hard to get something Off the ground. Yeah, and then the trauma of reality be bonded us in a way where laughs are really got us through I bet cuz you're scared. You're scared. We're all scared. Especially New York City. I'm sure with another Beast to fully obese and I think with girl hood There's that angle of like do we have each other's back like you need someone to have an alliance with oh my god And the lion's literally in a way are we talking about Kobe talking about reality TV reality. Oh, I'm sorry We should have a with Kobe do you needed an alliance? Yeah wearing masks like you and me Reality be I could see that. Yeah, so on reality TV. I remember so we started like we'd laugh a lot where some people were You know trying to push their storyline which is so valid like everyone's trying to bring what they can bring to the show And we'd be laughing which is probably a little bit annoying and one of the guys on the show called us the gig we squat at one point and as like a diss as a diss and We thought it was so funny and then during COVID we were face timing every night at like 10 p.m As everyone was yeah Yeah, and we were like what if we went on live cuz it was the cool thing to do now It's like you're having a breakdown if you go live And are it's funny cuz some people on our team as in like one person I think my manager at the time was like do you have enough to talk about I'm like do We have enough we never talk about anything. So obviously we don't do like you're not doing anything I'm like we will make we know what's going on and this community was created and Then we had to go back to film We'd have nights with like 10,000 girls and it was this really it wasn't like us giving a speech like it was very like What's the word for this and people are saying they're making fun of us. Yeah, and the comments were so fucking fun Like I am very biased, but I'm like the girls who find the pot and love it. I'm like they're so hot They're so they're so funny They're so successful and it makes me feel like I have friends that I think I wish I had growing up Like a loser no because sometimes you'll have people come up and like oh my god like I love the pot I'm like you're too pretty like no literally like you're watching my makeup story. I'm sorry why I'm sorry why I'm sorry Why I'm gonna DM like hey, I'm a surgeon and we're like don't don't listen to our I mean I guess we're like their shitty TV. Yeah the brain rot of it all. It's so true Just don't we once like I was talking about like getting off my birth control or something All the giggles were like we got off our birth control. I was like no no don't take doctor advice for me I was just telling her story. You have to tell her no What I I told people I was I was telling people my story of why I got off purchase roll Yes, and then a lot of girls were like I got off birth control. I was like please I've been carrying the weight of like I don't even know what's been happening in this universe because of the one thing that I said There could be kids out there because of you, and I've like I really See baby, I've spiraled I've spiraled and then we were listening to your episode in Japan And you guys are like get off your birth control And she was like Remy you can literally never feel bad again. We had to put out statement. We're like if you're taking advice Like doctors from giggly squad. That's on you But I do think also Yeah, there's there's so many things that make you feel less alone just being able to like laugh at it And I think gingley squad I've been doing stand-up and pages like one of the funniest people I've ever met and I think a lot of girls Going into stand-up clubs could be intimidating Oh my God these girls don't even know that how funny they are and that they love this humor And it's almost like not that we're tricking them But they're like discovering stand up and like the live shows of it all and I just love building this community of like Hilarious women because I think women were made to be funny like all we want to do is over analyze We want to complain like we are Comedy geniuses The way like I'm having a light bulb moment now because I've never been to a comedy club I've I've never really seen how girls go to comedy clubs Scares me, but I would watch you you go with it like like you know what I mean I never said what I always say like you'll go on a date with a guy And there's always like moments that you're like oh my god like this is so I don't want to be here Or you're not gonna go alone later And that's why it's so hard for women to even start stand up You want to go to a bar at 11 p.m. With a bunch of drunk dudes not laughing at you So I feel so grateful for this community of women who have been like shown the fuck up and been like let's laugh and That's why the network special coming out is such a cool celebration Which plug I went I went ahead. I did it. No no please should have started with it I'm sorry, but we got it with our attention We skated over it, but I also wanted to say like when you DM'd me and asked to come on this podcast I've never gotten so excited before we definitely not even kidding. I'm not even like I called her and we're screaming We we moved our filming day for this Because in my head I was just like I've no idea if she knows who I am but I'm gonna put it out there in the ether and The universe we're obsessed we love it together and we're gonna ask page to give you that we make an honor page today I wore this outfit. So she looks fucking adorable in a set And shoes that would just like make my ankles gush blood. That's how you have I didn't put them on till I've said it's called fashion. Uh-huh fashion page sacrifices her bodies I have a mixture builder. I have that in every color as well. You have to You're here to chit chat with the girls and also promote your new Netflix special that already came out Thank you. Which Netflix are you fucking kidding me? How do you feel? It's insane But the funniest part about it and I actually haven't talked about this yet is how I Was TikTok was a place where I started doing my comedy and I started to get this like The algorithm so good that like this it found all these like girls who were very supportive and their boyfriends and some like zatties anyway and it was and cool moms and It was like a hot people all around it was a slow fucking process and like you're building this hour over time and My hour I was working on and then COVID hit I got engaged during it. I had to take out all my single jokes So it's it really is so many stages of my life that I talk about and then like these bits have been so You know worked out for so long so I'm so I'm so proud of them And I called it. We ride a dawn cuz I really feel like it's a moment for the girls like we're meant We need to fucking ride And I've stopped to say um and yeah, not actually this is like the men who hate women This is their worst nightmare This guy went up to he's like your Shane Gilles for girls No, like when you really think about like it the comedy is so male dominant dominating like The fact that the this is this is killing. This is for the girls This is for the girls and I also I'm I like to make fun of men and same like I make fun of women We're like I want the men to understand us more and I want to understand the men more like I want to open the communication Like some guys come to the shows and they're like I learned so much about my girlfriend by like what she was laughing at Yes, I mean I'm not saying I'm an educator but I'm I'm less about like fuck all the men suck yeah like we're different and let's like laugh about it and embrace it and Stop pretending just like women aren't funny and they'll never understand men stuff. Oh my god Let's fucking open up the conversation. I'm picturing being like the boyfriend in the room and like you say something funny All the girls are hysterically laughing and then you're like me with you when you were listening to the podcast with headphones I was like what's so funny like I feel like all the guys are like oh shit. That must be a thing. That's real I don't know why are you laughing babe? Realistic sex where I have this bit about like even like cuddling and how he always puts his hand right on your stomach And you have to like suck in and then like you haven't had to fart all day in the second you're cuddling suddenly It's bubbling like how the hell is this happening? You're trying to match your breath with his breath Yeah, I'm talking about like just like the rhythm of riding a guy and then queefing like all these things that like men are like This is such valid experiences that like enhance them knowing it Oh my god, especially because they're probably thinking about some fucking like sport thing I would say men fall asleep immediately while we're fighting for our life Insane it's not really stuck in their head. It's the pillow like how simple are their thoughts where you're like trying not to fart holding Your stomach think of every regret you've ever had no true and everything you fuck up in the future So yeah, we write it on is out on Netflix and also it's fun cuz like I wanted to get a outfit you looked fucking incredible I'm sorry because it wasn't that easy because you looked amazing. It was a whole thing to get there Involved we had multiple stylists Resick studio for overnighting Blue yeah, yeah, you look so good and I was dying and how you were saying how For your wedding you didn't even care nearly as much about how you look Understand this is gonna live on Netflix forever. Yeah But then also what you're gonna wear to be funny is like a unique situation like I had some looks where I was like Yeah, this looks cool, but could I do a queef joke in this and be like yeah, it's it work Yeah, it's so it's so it's so fun. It's sexual. It can't be to this can't be to be comfortable Yes, you have to move around a breeze. Yeah. Yeah, and I think it's also this moment of like you can't be so obsessed with like Every angle of your body and all this stuff like this is me and my energy and put I'm putting myself out there So like I just want to feel like myself and you looked incredible What's the process of even filming a special? Oh god? Oh, well the funny thing is Netflix at one point I started to get some like industry like awareness like I did new faces at just for laughs which is like a thing for an up-and-coming comic and I've we finally get Heard someone need no Netflix was like we're open to having Hannah do a special for Netflix and my husband who's an older experience comic was like no and I was like, what are you fucking talking about and he's like You need to tour this for another nine months Because you can and it'll be that much better and I'm like baby I just got an Netflix special to shoot it and he's like no We're doing they'd want it this year We're doing at the end of the year. So like I had people my life to like keep me grounded and like guide you through it - cuz I think a lot of people the second they can get a special They're like, yeah, let's do it when I still had a lot more shows to do and I and but it's so true Cuz eight more months all my jokes were more tagged up and more refined and but it's funny cuz art's never like done Yeah, like I keep adding tags to all these bits. Oh, I'm sure it would never feel like so you're never Yeah, you have to one day just be like, is it I say like going like God? Yeah, put it out into the universe and That's actually great advice because I feel like I don't I feel like obviously now You're like all over my for you page and everything, but like there's a monger like me right of your crowd work is incredible by the way Oh my god. Thank you. Really. It's incredible. I do think podcasting has helped me I believe that I like I I see quite a few Stand up comedians on tiktok in your crowd work like really stuck out to me and like I from that I followed you this is forever ago like it's so you're just so in on it all the time. It's so quick Thank you. I do think I I love gossip. I'm sure I'm actually curious like I'll see a couple in the crowd And I'm like fuck whatever Joe goes about to say why is going on why is he wearing those shoes? Yes, did you pick those out? How do we get here? So I just kind of get bored Honestly, this is better than any of the things I have right now. Let's talk about those Wait, that's fine. I feel like it keeps every show different to it. That's the one thing I feel like that changes it up. So that's yeah, we've done a few live podcasts and oh my god It is so so much harder than like it look cuz you want to make it look easy and fun I can't even imagine stand-up comedy. It's funny because with stand-up because you're doing it so often you start to become I'm such a nerd. I love talking about it, but you become like you're a band leader and you're Like what's a cold conductor? Thank you. That was the word your conductor And you're like you're like getting laughs here and slow it down and build it back up and slow it down Like it's this like dance like a push and pull. Yeah, and like in a full hour It's your job to kind of keep the energy. Yeah, if you notice during a live pod There's that like how do we keep yes flow going? We always talk we're like it's more about the transition parts versus the actual core like meat of the episode It's like how do we get from here to here? Yeah, and like make it smooth interesting and keeping the crowd like and sometimes after something crazy You need to like comment down a little to build them back up. It can't be here I mean, I'm how many times did have you because obviously you've been on tour for a while. Yeah, how many stops? Look, I've been on tour for a long time. I'm smoking an imaginary cigarette Actually, it's like 2019. I've been on tour. Oh my god Like what do you do when the jokes just don't like land? It's funny some comics are more patient than me where they'll try a new bit And it's not working and they'll do it for a long time and you're always like I'm trying to work out this bit I feel like I either know if it's gonna work or not immediately. Yeah, so like I will never keep a bit that I'm not in love with I think that's why some people get sick of their material I'm so sad that I'm like they call it burning the material and post it because I love these bits and and But I now I'm at the place where I have to come up with a new hour Oh my god, that'd be so hard because you know like musicians can have one three-minute song That's so good and have a whole career. Yeah, we're like I'll do an hour and then if I go to the place again They're like give us some fucking new jokes I can't go back to you know Detroit, Michigan until I have a new hour. Yeah, so people are like come back and I'm like, okay so I'm in that like interesting creative time where I Was spoiled where I had all these well-tested bits that like I knew would always work We're now I have to go back to the clubs and be like I'm bad. What's funny about air fryers It's humbling, but it's fun. Yeah. Oh my god. Okay. I just like because how long is the actual special? It's an hour. I love how interested you guys are in the actual special itself. Well, I want I can't wait to watch it Thank you. Wait. How long is it special? Oh, yeah, it's so it's a full hour Okay, how many days how many like how much is it literally just them filming it live and that's it? Oh, the process the process great question So I you have to pick a venue which is hard because like you haven't played every venue and but you have to pick a venue I picked Philly cuz I hadn't been there for a lot, right? Oh my god, we don't even remember what she did the LA show that I like this is the one she's gonna film And it's funny cuz we did a Giggly squad show at this place called the film or would you guys probably will do? She also was on tour how beautiful Yes, so we and we it's also about the laughs, which okay comics become like architects We're like basically the room has to have a certain kind of ceiling where the laughs balance the bed Sometimes in big music venues are bad because music is about hearing the musician where comedy is about hearing the laughter Oh my god, and honestly like I'm not smart enough to deal with it. It's girl mad So I like was like I think I remember the laughs being really good at the film or I haven't done shows and Philly in a while Yeah, I want to do it there cuz I could have done New York But I done so I wanted your team wanting you to do somewhere or was it fully up to you where it honestly? It gave me a little too much decision making power to the one down my can someone But I knew I wanted like the East Coast girls are very loud. Yeah, I love chanting and you're there I mean, there's like so many places I love to perform, but I was like Phillies.

I feel like I was a little more nervous But I was more like on my shit. Uh-huh and then the second show. I felt like I already got it So I was like a little looser and had like a little too much fun And then we had to edit it together Insane and then it would cut where you're like, how did you change your outfit in a second? Yes So I had to sit down and I mean Watching yourself do comedy is another form of torture. I could imagine like I can't even really listen to my own podcast So like you have to sit down and be like, okay. Yeah, like that joke better that joke better Um, and then you have to do the sound the color my god and it's it's all came together I'm glad you're like still involved though because I would assume Netflix just like kind of like does you know I mean, I have so many opinions on this. Did you guys see the billy eilish documentary? Oh, yes, it's an apple. There's not an apple. So she's I mean obviously says that she's a freak genius Um, but it shows she's like 16 and she's doing her first music video And they're like this director's won an Emmy like he's great and she's watching it And she's like this is not what I want And some people would be like, okay. She's being annoying, but I feel like When people get like Something and they hire people who aren't part of like the original who you are in the plot line of it all A lot of people lose the like x factor. Yeah, and you can call me control freak or you could say like I think staying involved in the process is what has made like to the stay I edit my own interview videos I edit my own stuff. Wow. And that's and like it's like Alex Cooper s like it's important Like and you guys are probably feel like your content would be different if you weren't as involved as you were in the beginning We would not be here and especially like the the community you've gotten from like your podcast and and stand up and everything Like they know you so they know when it's not aligned Like if if the trailer doesn't feel like you they're gonna be like this feels off You know, it's so funny about the trailer that I just posted I'm gonna say I don't even know if I'm allowed to say it, but they were like, okay. We have to do a trailer We can hire a company and it'll be like 15 grand So I in that moment and I'm like, I don't want to be a cheap ass because I want to invest in my future Exactly, but but I was like so we're taking random people that don't know me Or my vibe and then I'm gonna tell them like This is to go back and forth with them a thousand times. Yeah to tell them like I don't like this I like that they're gonna be like I'm an amia work. I already have a vision. Yeah, and then I'm out 15k And even writing it off that hurts that stuff hurts. Oh, so I say no, I go. Let me do it So I fucked around and didn't myself and and I and they were like, oh, this is really good Which company did you use and I was like I'm not even trying to be like I'm so talented. It's more like when something worked on the come up Don't change it once like bigger things are happening I Fully agree with that like full and I think that's one thing like it's been really hard for us to find People who still have our voice because like you need to eventually hand off things 100 But then someone comes in and they're charging so much money, which it's deserved because they're very talented But they don't understand your voice and something you lose your mind. No, I just have to read No Question my I resonate with everything you're saying and the thing that comes to my mind with all this is I My biggest fear would be going on reality tv because you cannot control anything So do you have these trust issues from being on reality tv? So my biggest fear as a people pleaser my biggest fear Was always like for some reason people not understanding me Yeah, even when I was younger like even to this day Like I like walking into room and immediately being like showing people like I'm kind I'm funny I want everyone to like me and I want everyone have a good experience and when they leave everyone feels good Yeah, and that's like all I cared about and I do think I have a little masochisticness in me where I like to challenge myself You know like I was a tennis player. That's a psychotic sport Like I and I remember when I was like 25 single and creating content Online they were like do you want to do this show? And I remember being like well I think there's nothing like we should just try. I'm like life is short Let's try it. And also like I'm I don't fight with people like I'm not I don't consider myself dramatic like I never fight with my friends like I'm like this will be fun I could be funny Fast forward season three they get you Because you know you're locked in a house and and there's layers and like you know you're like oh now I understand how they've added. I get it. I know the editing But I did I was fascinated with the process of it all like I sure I loved seeing like how it went from all this rough footage to like these like simple story lines Yeah, you and like and I actually wouldn't be here without totally tv So I'm like super super grateful for it. Obviously met my best friend on it Yeah, but I do think it's good to um I knew I wanted to be in entertainment and I was throwing myself in a lot of different places and like honestly wasn't the best fit for me. Okay, because I'm like a little sensitive um Per like I'm very sensitive Like I'm also like I'm also weirdly loyal where like if someone would do something to me I feel like you are my brain like that's what I think I just don't say that I do want to do a shout out to like getting fired losing jobs bad things happening Because I feel like whenever anyone does something great There's always like a dark story behind it like where did they get that motivation because that's a little That's a lot. I was just watching a tic-tac about chappelle rohn. Oh my god. Yes. You love. Yes Do you know like the background of insane? I keep telling everyone I just found it out when she moved the album she worked on and then the next album that the producer worked on was I was a little Rodrigo. Can you imagine and she's back in Missouri at home. She's failing So it was a great story to show like I've had moments where like I've been fired by a lot of things Like no one fucks with me like I feel like if anything I do I don't know how to get out of it But I I feel like that adversity Like really pushes you to find your like authenticity Because like when you're not in the right place the universe lets you know like specifically with me the universe kicks my Like they're like, oh, you want just a light little push like oh, I'm a fighter like I will do the best I can And they're like, no, you need to leave And sometimes you don't see it as a good thing But like I was even people on rally tv like have come up to me and been like oh, we saw your stand up We're like, oh, we've listened to your pods. They're like, oh, that's where you're you Yeah And and some people I think like reality v because they can They can be someone else where I'd rather like battle the demon that I know I also think with rally tv they really want to put you in a character. Oh, yeah, I love being like, look Yes, i'm fucking stressed out, but i'm also confident But i'm also depressed Like i'm multifaceted reality tv was very like are you the crazy one is the cry or and there's no And when context context is taken away You're fucked Well, my favorite thing about reality tv is is watching the face reactions Knowing that the reactions are when they're Not filming yet And it's like it's like the probably the sound person's talking and then the person on camera is looking like really weird And then they take that and then put it when it's so different It's so different I have one scene that like was a pretty bad scene for me Um towards the end where I start like looking normal and then it cuts Immediately where like my face is really red. I've clearly been crying for like over an hour And but they skipped everything at the conversation that got so dramatic and suddenly I was like upset Oh my god. People were like she's Snapped for no reason And i'm like and the fucked up thing is like if people knew what was said to me Yeah, the other person would be getting all the hate But instead I don't take accountability for like my emotions Oh my god Again like normalize women getting pissed off at people exactly for no reason But because of feeling misunderstood on that show, which was my biggest fear I was like i'm gonna post on tiktok because people don't know who I am there Because I post on instagram and everyone's like that's a little girl from reality. Yeah, and then what is that voice i'm doing But i'm tiktok. It was like a new yeah And and some like look the fans have fucking been incredible on bravo Like I fucking love them, but I needed to kind of like explore Like the person I wanted to be yeah So I got addicted to posting on tiktok and then people start coming to my shows because of tiktok Not because of summer house and then you're like you don't know me from summer And I would go on stage and I would feel insecure like I have to prove to these people that i'm Because to be funny you have to people have to feel like they can connect with you And right tv you can be very um like not relatable. Yeah, and not understood So I was like fighting this like battle on stage It like drove me every stage. I want to go on stage and during that time I I can only think of my material and I wasn't stuck in this like sad place Where I was feeling again misunderstood. So then that's I think why I got this crazy grind to do stand up also one of my exes did it so I wanted to know I am I'm assuming i'm assuming i'm just like special So my friends and I joke they're like it did you have to go that hard with it? No, that's hilarious and i'm like, yeah because it's funny Imagine how you're like, yeah, because if you laugh it's funny It's a joke. He should be laughing because it's hilarious But I do thank god I'm like half Sicilian so we joke that that's maybe part of it, but When something bad happens to you instead of being like And use it as motivation and fucking wake up like a fucking boxer And then eventually you forget what you were mad at and you're just enjoying Like I literally forgot what pissed me off to make me do this And I like I'm I really am at peace with a lot of the things that happened to me I need that because anger is something that just hurts you Like, you know, there's like all these fucking quotes of like you're just putting poison in your body Yeah, so like to me. It's it's like what they want is for me to be angry Why be angry when you can get all We That was good Come on, alisha are we bringing back tramp stamps? Um So yeah, I just kind of want to anyone who's going through like a dark time It's like this is the universe putting you in a better place Oh my god, like I wasn't happy. Yeah, we weren't happy So it's like don't be mad when So you never are you never like I want to do stand-up comedy. I just kind of evolved into this I had dated a stand-up before and I fell in love with his life of like being creative I was like, wait, you don't have to do a nine to five But I never thought I would do stand-up. That's crazy But I was like creating funny videos. I just didn't think you could make money being funny Yeah, also like I'm from New York and like I have a very funny family I wasn't ever like hand is the funniest. We just would always make fun of each other Yeah, so like no one was like she's gonna be a comedian one day But it also kind of is like a live podcast in that way where You know your fans your viewers are coming They just want to see you So it's like you could talk about literally anything and then on top of it being funny like We we go up there and we're like We literally cry about our feelings You guys accept the sad We were really we though it's the first time we did our live tours We were like both really sad and we're broke We live in a dark talent We people came and paid to watch us cry Wait, but that's like so powerful I don't know about power I've cried on stage Really? Okay, I've cried just like walking on stage and feeling the energy Because like those are the people who like got like they don't realize how important they are Yeah And to page and to everything because like If you say something and people aren't laughing, you don't feel connected Yeah, that's true So it is it's the girls shout out to the girls I so when does club gigly start?

I thought that was really interesting Oh, what a great question I would love to hear that But the other ones we kind of already covered for everything I do think my dad will get his friends being, like, uh, What do you think about, like, the stuff your daughter's saying The choices your daughter has made Yeah, and my dad's, like, first of all, if it was, like, my son You would never say that to me Oh, true And second of all, like, I get it from my dad And third of all, it's like, I'm, I'm, like, He just wants me to be happy Yeah 'Cause I came from, like, an intense tennis career That was, like, ups and downs Yeah So, like, my parents just want me to be happy Did you retire after college? Yeah Okay, you chose to not try going to the pro round Because going pro is, like, you have to finance yourself You have to, you only get paid when you win Oh, damn You have to pay for coaches and travel It's really, um It's intense Unless you have, like, a big sponsor Which our brother almost went pro Oh, so you got it I go for a tennis family, too It's, it's so People don't think it's as intense as it is It's, there's actually issues with it Because, like, only the top 100 players They're, like, making money Yeah Like, the top 600th football player Is living a great life Yeah, you're so right But, like, 'cause it's a team versus the one person So, I had to kind of decide, like, do I want to lose money For seven years Or find a new side to myself Well, of course your dad probably loved it He was like, "We don't have to help me!" No, he didn't work 'Cause he had that to be so expensive It's an expensive fence And that's why I chose this concert 'Cause I got a full ride So, actually, since, from 18 My parents were able to, like, not, like, let me go Which I, like, took I like that a lot 'Cause I know they had to invest a lot In me, so I wanted to kind of, like, give it back And then I was like, "I don't want to lose any more money" You're like, "Wait, I don't want to own it" And it's all, like, it comes down to, if God for me to get injured, it's over Yeah, it's really scary That's a percent So, but the thing with funny women Is, I think, funny is, like, a masculine trait But, like, just society has said that 'Cause, like, girls, you like girls 'Cause they're pretty And you, like, men 'Cause they're charming Or funny or charismatic So, when a girl's funny It can be scary, I think, to men Like, intimidating It takes up space I could say something to make you It's a joke, like, they're taking our jobs But, like, I could say something to make Men's biggest fear is getting embarrassed Girls' biggest fear is getting murdered That's why I'm, like, me joking with you Should be fine And men, you know, want to get embarrassed But that's why I kind of, I like this Kind of, like, I want everyone to be in on the joke with you I don't want anyone to feel bad And I want to normalize, like Also, I just feel, I want from my special, like, long term I just want more women and stand up comedy and comedy spaces I love that, though, 'cause I feel like comedy is so hard right now 'Cause people are, like, they either are saying, like, Ridiculous, like, so offensive things And, or there's, like, no women, for instance And, like, I love the wanting everyone included But also, it's like, I can still poke fun at you Without even trying, because if your girlfriend's laughing You must be the problem, you know what I mean? It's like, but it's not without you being, like, yeah, fuck men Or blah, blah, blah But I do think the industry can be hard Because at a certain point, there's, like, these older men Who are making decisions Who are, like, okay, all these women who work for me Love Hannah, but I don't really get it And that's, like, where sometimes You won't get those things, like, in Hollywood or something That you want, so you have to, like, educate The older men in the corner offices Yeah, so, like, we're infiltrating, we're trying But, like, there will be more Hannah's, don't you worry Yeah, there will be, I think, I think, like, look at women's sports Like, 10 years ago, I was just playing women's sports And I was kind of, like, it wasn't that cool, especially tennis And you couldn't get money from college at that time Yeah, that's changing now And so things are evolving, things are changing And I think it's, like, because of the internet It's, the gatekeepers aren't able to control stuff as much They can try, but we ride it on We ride at that, that's such a good name You guys are fucking professionals I ain't reading my notes twice, I was like, yes Oh my god, we don't want to take more of your time I love this, like, seriously, we're obsessed with you Thank you for being so interested in me No, seriously I started to reply, yes, come on And then I was like, oh, I should obviously ask her, so I'd call I was like, yes, I'll change the schedule, whatever, you're free, let us know Thank you so much No, thank you, this is so much fun No, you're welcome back, anytime, Paige is welcome, anytime Yes, Paige, thank you for coming on Thank you so much That was the ghost of Paige Um, where can they find all of the things?
