Hi, this is Christopher Kimball from Milk Street Radio.I often shop at Whole Foods markets since they sell the kind of food I like.Organic vegetables, a great meat counter, and of course a great staff.
For Thanksgiving, Whole Foods offers brined turkeys as well as a spiral cut bone-in ham. The Whole Foods Market Bakery has a large assortment of pies, even a vegan pumpkin pie.Or grab some brioche and butterflake rolls for the table as well.
Or you can ask the Whole Foods team to cater your meal for you, including the bird, the sides, and desserts.Get your holiday party started at Whole Foods Market.
We can't be managed. I mean, the day just got away from me.
Lois, do you want to say something on the pod?Giggly Squad.Are you saying, what's up, Gigglers?
What's up, Gigglers?Now let's say it louder.
What's up, Gigglers?Go Gigglers!
How y'all doing?Paige and I just came back from Texas and we've saved at least 22 minutes off our lives by saying y'all instead of you guys.
I'm going to be honest.I feel like I didn't meet enough people with like thick accents.
like here's one thing about me when we go to different parts of the country i'm cosplaying i want the full effect like i want all the stereotypes i want i want to be in the mix
Well, tell them what happened when you took a photo in the elevator.
We, like, touched down in Texas and we're at, like, our first venue and I'm trying to, like, get in the elevator to take a picture.And one of the maintenance guys that, like, works at the venue was like, where are y'all trying to go?
Like, he was going to help me with the elevator.And I just, like, instinctually said back, oh, no problem, sir.I'm just taking a picture.And then I was like, I'm so sorry your culture is not my costume.I apologize.
We get down to Texas and I'm so excited because I put together an outfit like cute farm girl cunty like could not be more what a stereotype of what I think someone in Texas dress is like but I thought they were going to accept me with open arms walking everyone's dressed like the club and I'm here looking like.
Annie get your gun. And he get your damn gun everyone was like, what are you doing?
And I was like, I got brought a cowbell Yeah, you were like I'm living in Texas.Like what are you doing?
shout out to Texas for being the first state that The Izzy trash guy got booed offstage That's never happened in the history of ZTrash.
In the history of Giggly Squad.And let's just like, let's just like run some, crunch some numbers really quickly.Which we've never done either.Those sentences?Let me crunch some numbers quickly.No number has ever been crunched on Giggly Squad.
Has it been misappropriated?Absolutely.Has it been crunched?
okay this is our second tour we are almost done with our second tour and we have done like 50 over 40 okay let's just say 50 cities so far last year let's say we did another let's just say we did another 50 we'll just round up
we don't know we actually have no idea what's going on for the sake of the story for the sake of the story let's just say we've performed giggly squad 80 80 times 80 to 100 times never in the history of giggly squad has a man been booed off of stage have i been like
You're actually, for serious annoying me, like leave the stage.
No, great question.Has men?Have they?Phenomenal question to bring up.And never in the history of Giggly Squad has a man said, no, I'm not coming on stage.
No, and that was the other show.Okay, Texas.I have so much to say about Texas.
This is the problem.There's a lot of problems going on.I got an abortion in the bathroom, came out.
And I was like, why are you looking at me weird?
The men, um, have there been booze on Giggly Squad?Yes.Yes. There's always boos.If I'm doing my job well, that man will be booed.Do I want him to get stoned?No.And will I break him down to build him back up?Yes.
It's an art form we're doing with Izzy Trash.I know how to navigate the crowd and the guy and keep it all... Copacetic.No one gets hurt.
that was the word that was literally exact word i wanted to say but i could never come up with that word i'm not entirely sure on what it means but no but it's perfect for the moment this man comes up and i think he was like blackout which is funny because the boys never get blackout squad because they say
They need to stay alert.They don't know what's about to happen.They don't feel safe.Definitely stay woke, stay alert when you're at Giggly Squad and you have a penis.
And that I want, I want the boys at a club to feel like how girls normally feel at a club.
We have an escape plan at all times in our life.The only time you don't need an escape plan as a woman is at Giggly Squad.The bathrooms are ours.It is, it is as if the outside world, we've had the men go extinct.
And there's only like one or two in the crowd that we're procreating with. You know, like that's how we're keeping the world alive.
So this man comes up drunk and and also cocky, like he was like, like I asked him a question.He's like, well, repeated it back to me.And I was like, oh, no.
But then the crowd was like, I guess, like he showed enough disrespect that the crowd was like, we're not going to even let Hannah and Paige deal with this.Like we're dealing with this to the point that I was like, guys, it's OK, we got it.
And the crowd was like, get him.We didn't even get it.We didn't even get a question now. I didn't get one question out for him.He gets kicked out.Then the next show in Austin, I see a douchebag third row.And I said, are you a boyfriend?
They said, yes.I said, babe, come up.And he shakes his head.No, no.A lot of guys, a lot of guys do this.And I go, look at you acting shy.Get your ass up here.He's like, no, I'm not coming up.
And I'm like, OK, this is I've never felt rejection like this before. And I looked at him and I was like, I'm not going to be mean, which obviously is a lie.But I was like, I got you.Like we do this every show.Like you came to the show.
This is the one thing you can do is entertain the gigglers.And he wouldn't come up.And then you had a conspiracy theory.
My conspiracy theory was one of two things.One, he's like so shy that it like what he would have literally had a panic attack.And that I support like. He didn't want to get into musical theater and that's fine.I support not getting involved.
Or he was so scared of what our questions were and we don't go like us.We don't go that hard.Like we're not trying to like break them. And we certainly don't do anything that would actually jeopardize your relationship.
I think he was scared we were actually going to go hard and be like, let me see the last DM you sent or let me see the last text.And that's why I think he didn't come up.But also, again, I just made all of that up.
But also, you're right. You've never been wrong.
I've literally never been wrong ever but period but it's funny because we're like we're not gonna go through your phone but then the guy that comes up I go I asked them like what's the background of your phone and this guy pulls out like a whole to-do list that's on his background and I go
I go, give me the phone, babe.And I look at it.And I'm like, first of all, I literally put my hands on his shoulder because I have a inspirational quote on my phone.And I was like, we've both been through dark times.
What you've had for like a couple of years now.
I've had it because I'm a little superstitious.So when things started going well, I was like, I can't change the quote.But it still is like the most depressing quote on my phone.You're such a sports person.
Like that wouldn't even run through my mind.
No, if I change my background, the whole world will collapse.It's the butterfly effect.You're welcome.And I also like to see it to be like how far we've come.So that when I'm sad, I'm like, remember when you were sad, sad?
Remember when you were sad, sad, sad?So anyway, the first thing it says is like,
be grateful so i'm like oh this is dark and then he said the most manly shit he was like when you're not doing anything do push-ups or squats just do it and i'm like okay toxic masculinity damn and then my favorite was by friday fix your finances and it was so wholesome and so that actually made me like love him i was like that's so cute and stupid
But then he goes, set therapy appointment and then the following week set another therapy appointment.I go, you're so close, let's just set it to weekly so you don't have to keep setting one each week, but you're so close.
No, like pick one day that your therapist has that slot open and you're in there weekly.But no, it was so cute.I will say, 52 shows it's done me in.I'm emotionally drained.I can't pick out another outfit.
I, Paige DeSorbo, on November 19th at 10.30 a.m.I cannot do it.I cannot put together another fire outfit.It's literally, it's... I have nothing left in me.I have no more clothes.I'm literally exhausted.
Okay, but can I just explain how Paige is?This is her Tuesday, but come Friday when we have to be in Miami, this bitch is gonna have it together.I'm like, wait till you see my outfits tonight.
throughout the tour page you'll be like I can't do it anymore and then she'll like get a good diet coke and be like life is hard to live in.
That diet coke in Dallas saved my life.That diet coke in Dallas saved my fucking life.
She was taking photos of it I was like this is dark.
I'm gonna post that diet coke because nothing hit the way that coke did.Wait can you explain Wait, what?I need to bring something to the forefront to compliment you and say a personality trait that I don't think people know about you.
I've recently learned it and it's quickly become my favorite thing about you.I'll never go to another person for this specific situation.
I have no idea what you're gonna say.
Hannah has this crazy ability that in any city we're in, she will find you the best breakfast place.Like, no ifs, ands, or buts.Like, you land, your room's not ready, that's fine.Hannah Burter's gonna take you to the most fire brunch you've ever had.
wait no people don't know this about me at all people don't know this about because people be like oh hannah's not fun like she doesn't do coke and she doesn't party okay i said it one time bitch i party but i party with pancakes to the face like i i'm dancing i'm dancing i know exactly what to order i
I will find like in the middle of nowhere when I'm driving from like city to city the perfect brunch spot and I have an eye for diners.Like I can tell when it's shit.
No, Hannah, you have an eye for a diner.
And it's like it can't be taught.So like anyone listening, it's either have it or you don't.
And you want to know what?I don't have it.And that's fine because you have it.
And I don't mean to promote capitalism right now, but I still fuck with Yelp.And you've made fun of me before.I pull out my Yelp, I put Brentrit's breakfast spots, and then I'm looking at it and I'm looking through the photos.
I'm looking through the reviews.
You're going through vibes.You do it energetically.
Energetically.I see their aura. So there was a place in Dallas, but Paige had to walk like four blocks, and I was like, she's gonna have a fit, like literally a toddler.So like second block, she's like, I don't know where you're taking us.
And we see like one shop that has pink bows, and she's like, is that, can we stop by the pink bow place?
And I'm like, focus, we're going to food.She goes, are you sure it's not that place?I'm like, no, it's not the place with the pink bows.Paige grabbed. You were fighting for your life and you were like, go towards the pink bows.
No, that's not where we're going.
I was fighting for my life.
And then we get there and we order pancakes, happiest she's ever been.She was like, I love tour.
I started doing this really weird thing.It's not weird.It's actually genius. where I convinced myself because I always want eggs, but I also always want pancakes.
So I convinced myself that if I order pancakes for the table, it's not like me getting pancakes.But then I've noticed that Hannah and Grace have literally never once touched the pancakes for the table.
And I, in fact, am continuously getting two entrees.
I do have to say pancakes for the table is a power move.
Everyone should be doing that at brunch.
I'm obsessed with it.Pancakes for the table because it's like bread for the table.
Exactly.It's extra bread for the table.
Or like a little dessert to dabble in.Also, do not tell me I could get one drink.When you get to brunch, you need your water because you need to hydrate.You need your orange juice or Coke, whatever your juice or soda of choice is.
And you need your caffeine.So I want to drown myself in liquids before the eggs even come. And these are just, that's just the law.
You and Grace always get the same order.
Well, Grace and I are very connected.You're very connected.I was sweet.Do you remember how bitchy I was when like I went up to go to the bathroom, you know, and you leave your two friends, like you don't know if they're alone too much together.
And I go, maybe you guys could talk about Grey's Anatomy.And then I walked away.
Me and Grace have a different type of relationship than you and Grace.She's protective of you.She's very protective of me and she's very weary that I'm going to break out into hysterics.I'm either going to cry or freak the fuck out.
There's really no in-between for me on tour.
Where Grace and I will just whisper to be like, how's Paige doing today?Is she in a mood?I had to warn her one morning.I was like, Paige is gonna hate my outfit tonight, so just mentally prepare.She's not gonna be happy.
And Grace was like, are you serious?And I'm like, just letting you know.And it was so funny, cuz it was the one outfit that I was like, Paige is gonna, it's gonna ruin her night.
And she doesn't even know that her night's gonna be ruined, and it's cuz of me.And then I put on this outfit, you turn to me and you go, Hey, it's kind of cool.And I was like, that you like, the full plaid fit.
You loved it.We've also started this entire bit that like any city we go to, why is it any city that you're in that you don't live in?Everything is so cute.
No, New Yorkers, when we visit any other city will like literally see a sign post and we'll be like, wait, that's so cute.
We literally, I feel like
living in New York City and then going to any other city you don't feel like it's even though New York is as considered like a small city I don't think of any other city in the country I don't think New York's considered a small city I mean like geography wise like it's 12 miles
It has like- Okay, crunching numbers.Sorry, crunching numbers.New York City is 12 miles and it has like 8 million people.But when I go to other cities, I always think it's smaller than New York City.
Like any other city, I'm like, oh, this is a small town.Like when I'm in Chicago, I'm like, oh, cute small town vibes.
It's so cute.Everything is cute.We'll literally get like a plate and I'll be like, this is the cutest plate.We love little things in other places.
but you know what it is we never leave the hotel so when we leave the hotel and there's like a little bit of sunshine we're like okay cute what's that job called when you like make stuff up on the microphone podcasting when you just talk at each other don't say anything what's the job called when it's like the study of people
sociology okay i feel like because we've traveled to the country like i could meet anyone and be like you're from this part of the country this is how like we may start becoming psychics like especially with izzy trash when guys come up because we've asked so many questions we know based on like the shirt they're wearing if they have an apple watch what kind of socks how they do their hair we know like
what career they have, what kind of personality they have.
I've even guessed some men's names right before.We're sociologists.
We're sociologists.This is a scientific podcast.Speaking of science, have you heard about the water aliens?Are they on your algorithm? They sure freaking are.
Why is no one talking about it?No, this is the craziest thing.Like, it's not a conspiracy theory.Like they've said they said, hey, there's some people and they live in the ocean.
This is why they're pushing Domingo so hard right now on SNL, because they're trying to distract us from the water aliens.
Shut up, Marcello.Shut up, Marcello.No.Shut up, Marcello. And his start, which was Hannah Birder's Bachelorette Party.I don't think he's remembering his roots and where he came from.
And it was Hannah's Bachelorette Party in which we convinced him to do that set, to become a comedian and now on SNL.We're also managers and agents. If you're wondering who the girls are behind Marcelo, it's us.Literally us.
We took a chance on an unknown kid and we said, you're a star.We crank out talent.
Look, we have an eye for these things.We sure do.And we have an eye for humor.Yeah, the water aliens.Like, hello?What are we going to do?Are they cool?Are they not?Like, I need some more information.
I'd love to think they are cool. I've heard, then I've gotten on conspiracy theory TikTok of what their demeanor is, where they're from, all this weird shit.
We have to see who's talking about them.Is it their friends talking about them?Because then they're cool.But if it's their enemies, then obviously the enemies would talk shit on them.
Here's the thing, here's why I am going with the thought of like that they're cool is because, like they've been in the sky.Like they've seen, like they're saying- Are they in the sky or the water?
They're saying that like their little contraption things that they're in or whatever have gone up into the sky and then they go back down and they live under the water.
So it's like they've seen us, they know about us and they're like, we have no interest. And it's kind of cunt.
In the current climate, we're going to go under the water.So they have like a whole town underwater, like Atlantis?
I don't know.I don't know.
I just feel like they see us and they're like, ew.Like they're New Yorkers going to any other city.They're like, cute, but I'd never live here.That's so bad.
literally me going anywhere in the Midwest I'm like so cute I have no interest yeah I'm just I was watching this alien abduction thing on Netflix about how this woman was like she's like this Italian woman that was just like one day the aliens like put something in my nose and they did an x-ray and there's like a little thing in my nose and they're like tracking me
Are you ever pushed to the point where you're like, where is all my money actually going?Well, you'll be shocked to learn that the average US consumer makes about 70 payments per month.There's no way you would be able to track that on your own.

Can I just say one thing about the internet?The internet was supposed to bring truth to the world and somehow nothing has been, nothing is accurate.And everything's, I mean, look at like the, let's talk about.No Hannah, nothing's real.
Let's talk about Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.
Like how have, I'm happy that Mike Tyson got $20 million.I didn't have to see elder abuse on my TV.
I feel like... Okay, this is also so crazy.Me, Hannah, and Grace, we're in... Where were we? We were driving.We were driving from some city in Texas to another city in Texas.I literally can't even tell you.
And everyone makes fun of my iPad, but hey, we watched the fight on my iPad and we, this is going to be crazy.We used a hotspot and Hannah literally thought it was aliens.Wait, so I don't believe in hotspots?Hannah does not believe in hotspots.
I have a question, if my internet wasn't working today, and we wanted to do this Zoom, could I have used a hotspot?Could I have used it?Would it have worked for a Zoom?Does it max out?It could do a Zoom?It could do a Zoom.Could I download a video?
Yeah, you could probably download a video.Could I contact a water alien? Okay, so my toxic trade is I think I could do a Mike Tyson impression.
Look, Jake Paul's gonna die.I'm a killer, and I'm gonna kill him, and that's just what happens.And I love my pigeons, and I love my daughter, and I think I have a son, I'm not sure.And look, they're gonna die.I can't help it.
It's also just like, he has a lisp.
No one's talking about it.No one talks about it.I'm just doing my Andrew Collins on the higher octave.No, but that's why I was scared because Jake Paul comes in all flashy.His brother's spraying him with whatever they're promoting.
I had to look up what that was because it was, which is probably exactly what they wanted you to do.Yeah. It was like a spray deodorant.
Whatever, it's a spray deodorant and they're milking it and they have cars and explosions.They had pigeons in a box.
I just loved being on TikTok after and all the girls just being like, oh, women are so emotional.And it's just a picture of Jake Paul rolling in on that car.It's like, we're so dramatic.Okay.
Yeah, and then Mike Tyson shows up just himself in a ripped black shirt and I'm like, I'm out like I'd be like, I'd be so scared.
I would have been peeing my pants.
Also, when I found out that Mike Tyson doesn't brush his teeth, I was like, that's insane behavior. That's the same behavior and that's why I would not want to fight him.
So then they started fighting and at first we're like, okay, it's 58, he can't fight.But then everyone's saying he didn't do one uppercut, which is his known move.
I've heard stories that in the contract, it said that Mike Tyson could not perform any uppercuts and could not knock him out in the first round.
I think that he would have been knocked out in the first round, but if they went to eight rounds, they were going to get more money and Mike Tyson wanted the money. I stand with you.
Well, that little girl interviewed Mike Tyson.It was so cute.And she was like, Mike Tyson, what does this mean for your legacy?And he was like, legacy is made up and we're all going to die and be underground someday.And she was like,
Oh, I never thought about it that way.She was like, perfect.Thank you.That girl quit her job and she was going to be a future sports reporter.And he went to the dark side with her.But anyway, long story short, I'm just sick of fake shit.
Can we get back to being real?
Hannah, I'm so glad you said that because I had the exact same feeling the other day where I was just like, I'm sick of marketing.
I'm like, is anything real?Everything's clickbait.Everything is clickbait nowadays.
And I'm so fucking sick of it.OK, well, then, you know what?I mean, this is a perfect time for me to call myself out because a couple of pods ago I was on here like complaining about rage bait.And I was just like, what is rage bait like this?
Like, it's like really annoying me.And I it's like a made up thing and blah, blah, blah.I posted a picture yesterday in my grid that was a bunch of things in a TSA bin now.
i was gonna ask you about someone commented and said lipstick cap off you know about rage bait now i was not aware that that was something that was infused in rage bait like taking your lipstick cap off also guys i want to preface um i did not take that at the actual tsa line you freaks
How could I have possibly gotten that iconic shot?If you think that me and my assistant aren't over here thinking of new aesthetics and cute things, I ordered a TSA bin on Amazon.
All my TSA bin picks, like if you ever see a TSA bin pick where it's like cute aesthetic accessories, I have a TSA bin and I take it in my living room.
you're the problem no i know that's why i'm that's why i'm being truthful and honest i love that you're open and honest about that but you ordering a tsa bid on amazon is the craziest that's up there with the girls taking photos in the private jets that's just one chair in
Hollywood like in I think it look I think those pictures are it looks so fucking you I did comment I was like, that's why you took so long in TSA.
Yeah, like I could have never gotten that in TSA I'm throwing in different bags.We're doing different shoes.We're like I'm playing I'm over here playing and
So I commend you for not only understanding what rage bait is, but then participating in it.
Participating.Just trying to immerse myself in the culture so that I really know.
And that shows how you can learn and change perspective on something and embrace it.Things that you previously hated.So maybe you're bringing the world together in this political climate.
So Grace posted a bunch of stuff on Instagram and you commented, take down this photo.Yeah. Then Grace told me that you can go in and take down a photo after posting.
You can take so I'm connected to the Giggly Squad account so I was like what am I doing waiting for Grace to take down this horrible photo let me go on to the account and you can delete the I think you can only delete in like the carousel of like however many are in the dump.
I want to say you can only delete the first one but I might be wrong I think you can go in and delete other ones.
I had no idea.A woman in STEM.
Yeah, a feature that was updated like a little bit ago.
I have a pitch for the next Emily in Paris.Okay.Because I heard that, well my mom's watching it, she loves it, and I know she's in Paris, and then they're kind of running out of ideas, so they brought her to Italy.I want to see Emily in Pittsburgh.
I wanna see Emily go to a regular city, which actually has, Pittsburgh has beautiful water canals.
Just a town.I wanna see Emily meeting the guy who is a plumber and flirting with him and doing marketing for Pittsburgh's... Steelers.Steelers. I want to see Emily in Pittsburgh next.I'm sick of this glamorous, let's bring it back to the States.
America needs you right now, Emily.Because you want to know what?
Nothing's real.Nothing is real.You still haven't watched The Substance with Demi Moore, have you?I haven't, but you want to know what?I started like the first five minutes of it and I fell asleep.I do have to say it's not a chill movie.
Well, when it started, here's the thing that I don't like when some movies, they don't preface that it's super fucking artsy, like the way it's shot.There should be a warning.There should be some type of warning.
Like, hey, this is some artsy bullshit.
I need a warning like, hey, we're going to sing more than two songs.Thank you.I'm out.Hey, it's going to be shot from like a different angle lens that you rarely see.Thank you so much.I'm out.
What did Craig the DP think of their video direction?
He wasn't around.I couldn't get his professional opinion.
It's the kind of thing you're gonna watch and then you have to turn to the person next to you and like you're gonna have a strong opinion on it.Like the internet is divided.So I think everyone should watch it.
I will say Demi Moore is legit aging backwards.I want to know what she's done and like can we talk about Christina Aguilera because like is that her?
Well, Christina Aguilera and Lindsay Lohan both sacrificed the blood of orphans and injected it into their body.
And then they now look like they're 17.
Yeah.Like, how does Christina Aguilera look like that?Like, for serious.What?Like, I need her to say what she did.Like, I feel like she definitely went on Ozempic for like a little bit.And but like, How?
The stem cells of baby toads.
Yeah.It's just, it's kind of crazy.
It's technology is getting like scary, but I do have to say, and someone on, I don't know who said it, but it's important on TikTok.It wasn't me.They said, would you rather look weird, but young?Look weird, but young.Okay.
Like you look young but you look off.Okay.Or just look a little bit like you aged.
A little bit like I aged.I don't want to look weird.
I can't wait to look old and we talk about this all the time.I want to be one of those interesting older women that wears thick big glasses.And it's honestly one of the hardest parts of my life is that I have 20-20 vision.
So I can't and I really get overstimulated when I have glasses on.
I feel like you can't take it off. If you ever see Hannah in sunglasses, seriously stare because they will be off in the next five seconds.You've caught a rare moment where she has them on.I can't see.
The other day she was trying to put her seatbelt on and she couldn't click it and she was like, it's because I have sunglasses on.
I couldn't see shit.I also wear the cheapest sunglasses.But I want to be an older woman with a big smock. Okay.And big, thick, like, port-a-shell or, like, bright green glasses.Yeah.And then, like, gray short hair or, like, a bob moment.Okay.
And I'm busy.Okay.Like, I'm yelling at someone on the phone.
And I have like cool jewelry that I got in like Milan and then in my trip to South America.Yeah.
And you just have a story for like everything that's in your home.You have like a story behind it.It's not just like tchotchkes.It's like it has.And I curse.
I curse but it's hilarious.Like everyone's like watch out grandma's.Oh there's the F-bomb.And you have like three grandkids.
And let's be honest by that time Des will have passed and I will have a rotating suitors and no one's allowed to tell the suitors that there are other suitors.
So when they come in they think their grandma's only one and I said don't tell them that grandma saw someone different last night.

Hi, this is Christopher Kimball from Milk Street Radio.I often shop at Whole Foods markets since they sell the kind of food I like.Organic vegetables, a great meat counter, and of course a great staff.
For Thanksgiving, Whole Foods offers brined turkeys as well as a spiral cut bone-in ham. The Whole Foods Market Bakery has a large assortment of pies, even a vegan pumpkin pie.Or grab some brioche and butterflake rolls for the table as well.
Or you can ask the Whole Foods team to cater your meal for you, including the bird, the sides, and desserts.Get your holiday party started at Whole Foods Market.
Actually, wait, I kind of do want to say something.I've been seeing a lot of discourse online recently.And I just want to say, like, I do not watch Real Housewives of New York City.
I don't watch anything on Bravo because I would need an instant beta blocker.I can't do it.But I want to come out with not the same opinion as everybody else.People are hating the new Real Housewives of New York City.
I mean, they're going hard in their TikToks and in their comments.
Mm-hmm, and I just they're like in their comments.
Yeah, just being like this show sucks.You guys all suck like there's and Everyone loved it last year and blah blah blah.
I just want to say get a professional opinion, right?
I just want to say from like a yeah from a professional opinion and You like everyone when they're on for their first season.Why would they make the show that you don't like everyone?They want you to watch the show.
So yes, you are going to like everyone when they're on for their first season.And everyone on that show was a first season cast member. I do think that we should give the Real Housewives of New York City a little bit of grace.
It is very hard to film a reality TV show.And every single person on that cast has never filmed a reality TV show.They have no idea what is going on.And like, yeah, OK, they did their first season.They're like, OK, yeah, we know.
And then it came out and they were like, yeah, we know how to film a reality TV show.Then they get hit with a second season and they have no one to turn to. because no one's ever filmed a TV show before.
That is such a really important point.Speaking as people who came into a show, when you're the new people, you look around and there's a flow to how things go.It's basically like imagine shooting a movie and no one's ever shot a movie before.
and they're like, do it.You need a couple people who are like, this is how there's a flow to it.
This is how we shoot.And that is one thing I will say about Summer House, like coming in as a new person, we very quickly learned and were taught by the cast members that were already on the show.This is how you film and this is what happens.
and we like learned but after we filmed our first season then we came back our second season and still had more things to learn of like the flow and how what you talk about.
Let's be honest, for a good show to happen you need certain characters, you need a storyline, you need arcs.
and it takes a lot of people like it is work and it also is not just a bunch of people talking even though it seems effortless like that there's storylines that everyone has and when people are like oh they're producing themselves because you're literally told you need to have a storyline or you're kicked off the show right and i just think that
I just think that they did a real disservice.To put together the perfect cast, it never happens.It's so hard to get.
They should not have had everyone be green.They should have kept some legacy.They shouldn't be called legacy.They're alive.They're still alive.They're still alive.
But I think there is something important to be said about people who know the ropes and know how to make a good season. And I also want to say one more thing since we're, you know, laying it all out there.
The reason people's first seasons, they make you likable is because if something's going to happen to you later on, people have to care.And no one cares if they never felt connected to you in the first place.
So a lot of people come in and their first season, they get shown in like the best possible light. And then their second season or third season is normally when shit hits the fan.And they're like, how could this happen?
I did the same thing I did last season.And it's like, well, now we're not introducing you anymore.We're now using you for storyline.
Like I've seen so many things cut from my own show, from other shows, because it's like, well, nobody would care because nobody cares about that that person or nobody cares about this drama.Like,
There are a lot of times where you're like, how did only one person be the only drama all season?No, there was other drama, but they knew that it wasn't what the audience wanted to see.Right.
And so I think like everyone coming so hard at them for their second season, like they're unable to be like, we don't know how to film a show.
They can't come out and say that, but it's not their fault. but I also think they didn't even know while filming the second season what they didn't know.
Right, like they didn't know like, oh, the second season, it's not as good as the first season.Like they had no idea because like they don't have anything to go off of.
And also, if they're listening, shout out.If you're cast on a TV show, you can never believe what they've made you look like.Because once you believe you're the person that they're putting on TV,
then you're believing the hype of yourself, which is not true.It's still a character.
I just think there's such like a learning curve in doing reality TV.Like I am certainly not the person I was when I did my first season of reality TV.I'm not even the person I was when I filmed this last summer.
Like there's such a learning curve and there's such like different aspects of it.And the best advice I ever got from someone was 50% of people are going to hate you.50% of people are going to love you.
And neither of them are right because they don't know you actually.So like, yeah, I used to watch the show when I was like, when we would get it before it would air now, like it's not, it's the way I feel about Instagram comments.
It's actually none of my business anymore.Like once it's out, once your art is out into the world, you don't, you don't own it anymore.
So for me to watch it and go through what I think viewers are thinking when they watch it, that's too much anxiety.So I can't watch it.
I was told something similar.I was told you can't believe the hype or the hate, because if you start believing the hype about yourself, then naturally you're going to believe the hate also.
And people are just judging based on the oversimplified version of you.And it's true.I actually just watched this documentary about WWE. about Vince McMahon.It took like, it was a long, long documentary, but WWE is all storylines.
And the way they get a good storyline is getting emotion from people.So he said once they'd get someone, and they wouldn't know if the fans would like or hate the person, but they just needed a reaction.
And if a guy walked up and people booed, he was happy, because it means the audience is engaged.But if a guy walked up to fight and no one did anything, he was like, this isn't going to work.Yeah, like I'm done.
So they needed to at least get people to love or hate.I mean, at least people are talking about Roni, but I guess they're mad that it's boring.
I guess they're like they're saying like they're not watching it.It's a boring blah, blah, blah.But I just think like give them a little grace.They're figuring out how to film a TV show.This is only the second time they've been on TV.Like they don't.
But then you could say the same for Real Housewives of Salt Lake City that like they were all new too.
They crushed it.But they like have been crushing it.But I just think there's a lot of pressure in New York because their first season they hyped up so much.Like every single article was like New York City's back.
These are the best women in New York City.And so like I think it gave like the viewer like Oh, they're gonna perform the way we're used to New York City performing.
You guys, this is the realest reality TV lore you're getting right now.With Salt Lake City, they had to prove themselves.They had to prove themselves.They came on being like, you're Utah.Like, who gives a fuck?We don't even understand your religion.
We don't understand your families.We don't know who you guys are.Why should we care?
Yeah, why should we care?
And these women gave everything.They gave everything.
I mean, they went to jail for a season.
But New York, I think Bravo really wanted to make sure and guarantee that the audience was going to like the new New York and not miss the old New York.So they pushed it so hard to be so good.And it's almost like they didn't earn it.
and they were just given like you're the new people and you guys are great and then I think the girls are protecting this brand that they were just given and they didn't earn and I don't mean this like obviously they've worked hard in some capacity with what they could do but no one's gone to jail.
It's just it's harder to film a reality TV show than people think and it's harder to give like good entertainment and have good flow and not harp on situations for too long and get to the next moment but also like give enough context to the moments like it's not as easy as people think.
It's very difficult especially a friend group.I think also what would you do if you were Bravo? Would you bring back Dorenda and Luan and try to force a friendship there?
I don't think I would because it's almost like we're past that.If they had done that in the first season, like they kept Sonia and Luan and then they brought in the new girls, I think that maybe would have helped.
Even if they got rid of Sonia and Luan in the second season or in the third season, it still would have given the new girls something to go off of.
I think, like, genuinely, and I've met a lot of the Real Housewives of New York City, like, the new ones, and they're all very lovely and nice.
And so I do think, like, giving them a little bit of grace of, like, okay, let them film again and, like, it will get better as time goes on.
But second season, yeah, second season is hard for any cast member, let alone an entire show of all second season cast members.
yeah i mean also i just want to preface this this is coming from two people i've never seen a minute of no i i have not watched a second of this season like i also need to say that just said is is a fact is true and is a fact because i just kept seeing videos of like it sucks this is why it's bad and blah blah blah and it's like
yeah okay well none of the people making the videos none of you have filmed a reality tv show so i don't think you actually know why it's bad and like so i felt like i had to say like it's not bad it's just it's harder for them like i will say when we came on to summer house like we did have very good cast members who were like this is
Now we're going to do this and now we're going to do that.
Our first season, while they were introducing us and they were like repeating how many times I played tennis and you were talking about you love fashion outfits, that couldn't have sustained the first season.We needed other people's messy storylines.
So what happened is the first season, everyone was just introducing themselves and they're like, this is so fun.Second season, we don't give a fuck.We know who you are.
show me what you're bringing to the table if you want to do reality tv i'm just going to say this too it is very nerve-wracking filming a television show that you have no control of the edit so like yeah they're watching what they say because they don't want to get canceled or they don't want to be the most hated like yeah they're nervous like wouldn't you be nervous
it's once you're liked it's hard because you want to keep that so then you're like when they ask you like hey can you bring up this problem you're like what yeah like i don't want to be though i don't want why would i risk it and then you have a bunch of people who are trying to save face that's not you think anyone in vanderpump ever tried to save face right
Right.They're nervous that, like, everyone's going to hate them.And I and it's so easy to be like, who cares what people think?And I am so and I am such a split personality when it comes to that.
Like, I want everyone to like me, but also then I'll get into moods where, like, I don't give a fuck if you like me or not.
But it's a constant battle of like, wait, this episode's going to come out and I'm going to be perceived and people are either going to love or hate me.And in reality, I've never met any of them.
And so like, I think they're all just like kind of going through it a little bit.And I do like feel for them that like all so many people are like not liking it.
And that's got to be tough because like you do go through a filming season and you're like, that was hard.
I do think the best shows are on reality TV is when there's an understanding within the cast that everyone's going to have their ups and downs, but together we're making a good show.
And I think that's where there's been like ups and downs with Summer House when it became less about like us making a good show and instead trying to like
Like push people out or that kind of thing or be like who's the who's the man of the group or whatever?Which has happened with Vanderpump, but when everyone could be like put our heads down.
Let's do a good show But then it's hard because you don't know who's might come out looking the worst right airs, right?So you're you're like, why should I?
It becomes about egos.After you're done filming, like I feel like Love Island this year actually did like kind of explained it a little better.
Like Leah came out of the house and had no idea people loved her because she had no idea what was being shown and like what the other perspectives were.
So like Real Housewives of New York City, they filmed and then they had no idea who was going to be loved or hated. And so then they go into like it airing and they're like scrambling of like, well, I didn't meet, I didn't say this then.
And this, and like, I had this conversation before.And so then you try and backtrack and it's like.
On Bravo, it's, you know, a little bit more because Love Island, it's going out every day.Yeah.With Bravo, you know, by the questions that you're being asked in interviews.Yeah.
So you'll see in an interview or you'll, you'll hear that everyone's talking about you in interviews.So you're like, oh, shoot, I think I'm the problem.But it's like also everyone could be talking about someone else.
So it's basically like after a hangout, which group are then you hanging out with of who's talking about who?You can talk about anyone after the hangout.
So anyway, it's interesting perspective and I think WWE is a perfect example of how you need people that you like and people that you hate, but that it's not always accurate and they don't always know how people are going to respond.
with that said is this why there's some like rumors going around that you might join rony that okay who started that daphne daphne literally started that no i don't know who started that but like
It's a different production company, so it's not just Bravo being like, and hey, we're going to put you on this show now.My contract is with my production company.So it's not as easy, I think, as people would think.
Now, if someone said, hey, we want you to be on Real Housewives of New York City next year and not Summer House, would I do that?
I would definitely think about it like I would definitely have to weigh like certain pros and cons because that's me going into that would be a repeat of me going into an established friend group and then like having to film with them and like I wouldn't have a friend and so like I would actually be really nervous to do that.
Would it probably fit with my lifestyle now better a hundred percent? It doesn't really even cross my mind day to day because it's like I'm on Summer House.So like that's my show.I don't need to be on Real Housewives of New York City.
But the only reason I wanted to say all of this was because I felt bad like that they were all not that I even know the drama or the storylines, but I felt bad seeing that they were all getting such hate.And I was like,
They're all a second season cast.They don't know what they don't know.As they say in sports, they're a young team.They're a young team.They're a young team and they're rebuilding and I think we have to give them a little bit of grace.
Yeah, let's do it how the men do it when they support their favorite teams that suck. They're a young team.
It's weird because I guess people have been saying like, oh, it's boring.It's boring.But you can't get mad at the girls necessarily.It's a group project.
You know, it's a whole group project.You can't get mad at like just one because she's not giving.It's like, OK, well, this one's not giving this.And it's so it's a group project.
And not to have toxic positivity, but it takes one person sleeping with another person's husband and then you have Sandoval and Vanderpump's back.So maybe let's, you know, let's keep our eyes open.Yeah.And our legs.Oh, goodness gracious.
I had one more note about cats.OK.Yes.And we'll take it.Which I was talking to you a little bit about.But I realized that I have a joke in my Netflix special.I don't know if I put it in it.
Anyway, it's about how cats just have really bad PR, and dogs have amazing PR, and cats' PR is horrible.The pickleball PR and dog PR, I think, work together.
Because every dog in every movie is the best friend, and he's there for him, and Marley and me, and Air Bud, they play fucking basketball.Cats in movies are always an afterthought.They're never part of the storyline.
It's always like there's a cat sleeping in the background, not dealing with anyone, or sitting on the villain's lap.
so associating it with evil or a witch and like cursing people and no one sees how cats actually are like so when people like you get a cat and you're like oh my god I had no idea it's not your fault the media
has brainwashed me the media's brainwashed you it's and there's a war on cats in the media there's a war because if i was actually show like a tv show of hannah with my and who has a cat you wake up my cat's sleeping with me get up to eat the cat's coming with me we go watch tv the cat's with me but in movies the cat doesn't want to be on be involved
here's the thing cats are just so private cats are like i'm not pretending to cuddle with you with this man with a like camera huge camera in my face like i'm not getting involved with that yeah they i would dare to say cats have boundaries and we should take we should take a note
Dogs are a little attention whoring.Did I say on the pod how Des lost his dog?I think I did.He lost this dog in Ireland.
And he was like with a new family by nighttime.
It was sleeping in a new family's bed at night. Butter would never know Daphne what Daphne might If there's tuna treats, let's be honest that you've been gone for a couple days and Daphne's not happy She's not happy and she has full-time cat sitting.
She has a rotating.Here's the thing She's such a bitch Daphne kid is her mom.I mean, she literally she lashes out and then she's like, sorry I'm like, it's fine.You're so cute Um, she has round-the-clock care.
This bitch was not alone for, she was alone for like, I'm not kidding, eight hours.My brother left on a Sunday night and I was arriving on a Monday morning.Like she truly was not alone for more than 12 hours.Shit on my living room carpet.
I got the stain up, but the smell, it's suffocating me.It's killing me.I had to put all my windows up and shut the doors last night to air it out.I literally have to move.And I'm like, why did you do that?
I'm like, did you literally do that just because you were alone for a couple hours until I got home?
I think you spoiled her. You spoiled her, so whenever she's alone, she's like, this is unheard of, this is crazy.
She's like, I'm not doing this.I think she knows I clean everything up immediately, and she's like, this will get her home.
Maybe she didn't love that she wasn't the first grid post in your last Instagram dump.
But she doesn't have Instagram, so how would she know?Except if you told her.Oh!
Cats actually know what's going on at all times.I don't know how.I want to let you guys know we have a couple tickets left in Orlando coming up this weekend on Saturday.So because we added another show in Orlando.
So get tickets if you're going to be in Orlando.And then we have Connecticut, Ohio, Windsor and a couple tickets left in New York.So go to GigglySquad.com.
