Hello, Gigglytroners. Gigglytron, like Transformers, Gigglytron.

I have something in my eye, and it's actually a problem.

**Hannah Berner** (0:26)
Okay, you could have dealt with this the entire morning.

**Paige DeSorbo** (0:29)
It just happened. Is it?

**Hannah Berner** (0:32)
Okay, someone needs to blow on it.

**Paige DeSorbo** (0:34)
It's definitely a kitty hair, that kitty.

**Hannah Berner** (0:37)
No, that's a love hair, and she wants to be inside your brain. Okay, are you going to do this the whole pod? You have to open your eyes during the pod.
One eye just starts veering. Are you crying?

**Paige DeSorbo** (0:53)
Wait, I was so excited to get on the pod, too, and tell our story, and then I ruined it. So classic.

No, you can't stop saying it.

**Hannah Berner** (1:24)
But you started saying it subconsciously because I was saying it. I'm like, I want to kibosh this. I'm kiboshing this. The universe is kiboshing that.

**Paige DeSorbo** (1:33)
So yesterday, I don't know if you're on the side of TikTok where it was like the craziest manifestation day, just like in astrology, one of the craziest days we've ever had in the world. And of course, it's Hannah's birthday.
Cheers. So all day, I'm like feeling I'm like, I didn't even send Hannah something to her house for her birthday. Like, I didn't even try and make a plan with her. I'm a horrible friend. And I didn't text you any of this because I'm like, let her have a day. But I'm like, wow, I like feel bad.

**Hannah Berner** (2:05)
Well, you called me at 830 a.m. after yelling at me for calling you at 830 a.m. the day before to talk business. You called me at 830 to tell me about manifestation.
And I believe business.

**Paige DeSorbo** (2:17)
Called you to wish you a happy birthday. And then I called back with gossip.

**Hannah Berner** (2:22)
Oh yeah, and you gave me like local gossip.

**Paige DeSorbo** (2:26)

**Hannah Berner** (2:41)
Paige's Significant Otha texted me and was like, we haven't gotten dinner, all four of us in a while. Like we should just like celebrate.
Or whatever. Cute. No, but I mean, I love like so cute.

**Paige DeSorbo** (2:58)
But I'm I was like, when did you do that?

**Hannah Berner** (3:01)
He's like, look, I'm so sick of all the alone time I've been spending with Paige. I need a little.

**Paige DeSorbo** (3:05)
I'm drowning. And this is this is me asking for help.

**Hannah Berner** (3:12)
She really gets lit up with life when she's around you. And I really prefer that side of her.

**Paige DeSorbo** (3:17)
Actually, the other day, Joe did say to me, like, like, I know you think I'm funny, but like, I know you don't think I'm like as funny as Hannah.

**Hannah Berner** (3:26)
And that's how it starts. That's how it begins. The next thing you know, I have to fight a man.

**Paige DeSorbo** (3:31)
I'm like, she's my best friend. He's like, no, the way you light up when she walks into it, no, actually, the way I get giddy for you, DeS is like, calm down.

**Hannah Berner** (3:43)
I'm like, but that's my...

**Paige DeSorbo** (3:44)
Who doesn't get excited when they see their best friend? Like, if you don't get excited when you see your best friend, get a grip.

**Hannah Berner** (3:52)
Well, you posted like on Instagram, like happy birthday to my life partner or something. And I was really wanting to text it to Joe. And then I was like, actually, let's not stir up drama.
On my birthday.

Let's not stir up.

**Hannah Berner** (4:07)
