Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Everyone needs that one person in their life where it's like you can call them and they make you feel better about anything. Like a spouse or like... In my case, it's Hannah. Like, truly, if anything happens to me, like, online that I'm, like, deep in and, like, everyone hated my outfit. Like, you know, something, like, stupid. She's like, this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
No, I'm like, I'll never financially recover from this. It was a sparkly boa. I'm like, they don't get it. I'm like, they don't get it. No pants is actually really in. Like, I can call Hannah and say anything, and she really does, like, bring me back down to earth. And, like, I will then, like, laugh at something, and then I'll be on to the next thing.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
So, like, I really feel like everyone needs that one person where you can just call them.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
nothing we've literally never and we work together too like the podcast is obviously a business so like will we have like business phone calls yeah like kind of it's not like we have like a set time where we're like let's talk business we've had like other people definitely try to get in the way of our friendship which leads me to the akon song nobody wanna see us together but i don't matter no the fact that you had to break out into song i can't believe i just stood in front of
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
The only thing we've ever fought about is she has to stand on a certain side, and it's so diva that it's... I can't because we literally did the Vanity Fair Oscar party and my dress had like a side. And I was like, Hannah, I have to stand on this side, like my dress. And she looked at me in the eye and she goes, I'll literally die if I have to stand on the other side.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And I wasn't going to solve the dysmorphia in that 10 minutes. I was like, you know what?
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
OK, my whole personality has been built out of spite because when I was younger, my brother is so funny. His timing is great. He's so smart. He just like knows when something's going to hit. So my dad would always be laughing at my brother and he's like five years older than me. And I started to get so frustrated. I was just like, Dad, I'm also funny.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And my dad was like, well, you haven't made me laugh. Yeah.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Yeah, like, you're beautiful, you can't read, stay in your lane. So I would get so annoyed. Also, he's older and smarter. Older and smarter, but my brother always loved comedy, so I would always watch stand-ups. I always knew who famous comedians were. And so then just, like, over time, I think just hanging out with my brother and my dad, like, I got certain timing.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
But I was never, like, outwardly funny. Like, I don't think in high school anyone would have described me as, like, oh, she was, like, so funny in class. It really wasn't until I met Hannah that I feel like I was more open about being funny. Yeah. Like, my friends would say, yeah, like, she's funny sometimes. Where now, I'm like, if you don't think I'm funny... I hate you. Then you don't get me.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
With no chair? Get a grip. That's her. In this economy?
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Like I would have never even thought to go on a tour or even been or said like, yeah, I want to do this. If it wasn't for Hannah being like, Paige, you can go out on a stage and like be funny. What do you like and not like about being on tour?
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I always say, like, the beginning, like, before we go out on stage when we're in the green room is my favorite part because that's when we're just, like, waiting to, like, go do something.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Because we're literally, it's like we're waiting to, like, go to a party or something.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
This describes tour. We were in Denver. We had just started our tour. Talking about Denver? I know. Okay. We're about to go out on stage in like 15 minutes, and I'm like, no, I think I'm having a panic attack. My hands are numb. I'm crying. I'm throwing up. I'm like, yeah, no, I'm having a panic attack. Hannah's trying to play spa music in the background.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
She's like, hey, is this helping? I'm like, not at all. I'm literally in the midst of crying. Tears are running down my face. I realize that Hannah has forgotten her shirt that she's wearing out on stage. So she's going to wear like this silk pajama shirt that like the venue had given us like this merch. I can't even speak. And the only words I can get out is you can't wear that shirt on stage.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And she looks over at me and she's like, you're having a panic attack and you're going to tell me what I'm going to wear. Luckily, I had like a T-shirt in my bag that was like extra whatever. And I was like, put this on. She put that on. Her outfit was fine. And then I got out of my panic attack. But that's a great example of like you're she got you.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
After a lot of beta blockers and Xanax, I got out of it.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Yeah. Okay, so here's the thing why I like it. It's not for anxiety. It's for blood pressure. So, like, it doesn't do anything to your brain?
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Because I am very against Xanax. I don't like the way Xanax makes me feel. Yeah, you have to really, really be careful. Yeah, I didn't like that. Where when I took a beta blocker before I went out on stage, it just, like, took away my hand sweating. So that's why I like it. It's good with physical reactions.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Yeah. No, that actually helped me when we were on tour. Like, after my first panic attack, and then I would, like, take a beta blocker before. Like, I'd be like, shoot, I hope it doesn't happen again. Hannah would always say to me, like, it's good to be a little nervous. You care about what you're doing. And that truly would, like, calm me down. Yes.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
She'd also push me out on stage in a panic attack.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
It's all she says to me. She's like, well, I suffer from ADHD. And I'm like, I've never seen a doctor. I wouldn't say suffer. You live with it. I'm like, you've never seen a doctor. You've only been given TikToks about this. And so I really need you to stop bringing it up.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Yeah, I'm like, no, you just want to sleep an extra hour. You don't have ADHD. You literally just press snooze.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
That's so true. You always have to go to the bathroom when we have to leave.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Yeah. I feel like for me, I think maybe this is because of reality TV, I'm very quick to want to defend myself of like, oh, no, I didn't make a mistake. You're just not seeing it from my perspective. And what I meant to do was this or what I meant to say was this. And I feel like
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
In my 30s, I've not mastered at all, but I've worked harder to be like, and not everyone is going to like me and I don't need everyone to like me. I don't like everyone. I thought you were going to say, I don't like me. Yeah, well, that too. I'm like, imagine hating on me and I'm at home hating on me.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
So I feel like I've had to overcome that of not everyone is going to like you and not everyone is going to think you're funny and not everyone's going to love your outfit. And that's okay because you think you're funny and you like what you're wearing. And so that's been a struggle.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I think reality TV brought that up because really the human brain, I'm not supposed to see 200 people commenting how much they hate me. On a scene that has no context. As a human, I'm not supposed to be able to read that. No. And there's like this new thing on TikTok where it's like we were never meant to see ourselves like mirrors were like invented.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
We were never supposed to see what we look like. And I feel like that with being so public and like social media, we really weren't supposed to see how people feel about us. And so I think that's.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And then for a year after, like you don't get to move on until a year after because everyone else is seeing it.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Yeah, and I'm like, no, no, no, let me explain that one moment. And it's like, no, no, I don't need to explain that one moment. No one cares.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
We've never spoken about Summer House. We've never, we don't, honestly, because when we started, we were like one of the first podcasts to come out of Bravo. I think maybe there was like one or two others. And they were really adamant of like, this is not a Bravo podcast. Do not speak about Bravo. And we were like, totally fine with us. Like we weren't going to anyway.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
We wanted it to be more pop culture. And so now people are kind of surprised if they find us from Bravo because they're like, they never talk about Bravo. And it's like, well, we weren't allowed to in the beginning. And now like, yeah, it doesn't really go with who we are and like what we talk about. Yeah.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
But I'm sure they're friends and they like each other, so it's all fine. Okay, I'm never going to say a quote again. And Obama actually said... Grab your hockey sticks, kids.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Wait, that's actually so funny because my brother literally saw the back and was like, you didn't ask my permission. And I was like, what are you going to sue me? Oh, because your brother has a quote on the back of the book.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I don't think they ever look good. Never? I think maybe there's, like, two people in Hollywood where I'm like, wait, they have really good veneers. But, like, a normal person who can't afford it, do you? Oh, they look great. No, you wouldn't know. Because you obviously have access to a great doctor. The normies out here shouldn't get them.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
You know how like people hate hearing their own voice, like even in a voicemail. I'm like, imagine watching yourself on TV. You're like, that's what I present to the world.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I thought you were going to say you both need them.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I was just going to say we never take them off.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Actually, I'm going to... We're not running.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
It's horrible. I love cats PR, though. I love that they're hated publicly because that's their vibe. They like that.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And now we've gone there on the pod. And we went there. When you're talking about traveling, how early do you like to get to the airport for a flight? Okay, that's another reason why I think we're pretty compatible. We have the same flight time. We're very big on boarding time. We like to know the boarding time, and we like to be there an hour before it boards.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
They're like, Hannah, good luck this weekend. That's their job. They're paid to bring you in.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
The screen says your name. That's how they know it. They didn't remember it, but...
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
They're like, I'm looking at your flight information, ma'am.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
We keep each other... Yeah, we're pretty similar travelers. Oh, that's really important. It's really important.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Okay, what about avocado toast? I think avocado ruins a lot of really good things.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I think that... I don't know what year we were like, let's throw avocado on every sandwich. But I wish I paid attention more and stopped it. Because I don't need avocado on my turkey sandwich. It was gorgeous years prior. It's been a turkey sandwich forever. I don't need it now to be turkey and avocado. You don't have a mature palate. Just say it.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I will try way more things than her. What do you do? I feel like I eat way more things than you. Like try way more things. Not true.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Perfect sandwich would be like prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, a little olive oil and vinegar on like a hard, like good baguette.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I just want to know. It's funny because we also talk on the pod, like, obviously Hannah's married. We don't like to talk about it, though. It's very off-brand. It's so off-brand for her. Don't bring it up. Even when she says my husband, I'm like, what?
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
But like we talk about how like people expect you to look the best you've ever looked on your wedding day. And then like you'll never be that skinny or pretty ever again. Like this is your one day or like it's the best day of your life. And I remember Hannah's wedding. She was like, this is a great day, but like I've had better.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Like, you know, like I've had a day, like when she filmed her Netflix special, she was like, this is truly the best day of my life.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And so I think we're in a generation where it is like a little, it's shifting a little bit where it's like, okay, your wedding day and your marriage isn't the best thing you're ever going to do your whole life. And that's really put on women. Yes. Where it's like, this is the best you're ever going to look. This is the best weekend you're ever going to have. Everyone's here for you.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
This is the last time that's ever going to happen. Yeah. So like the whole proposal thing and like a girl doing it to a guy He hasn't said that he likes you then. That's why you're doing it, I feel like.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I mean, I know you make each other laugh, Hannah. Hannah's text messages. When Hannah really goes off, here's the thing.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
This is when I know. No, she's smart. She does voice notes. Yeah.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Yeah. This is when I know Hannah's husband isn't in the city. Hannah's voice noting me like crazy. She's like, and then I figured this out. And then I saw this. And oh, my God, I haven't brought this up to you.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
We're respectful, but if one of us does FaceTime each other out of the blue, it is the first thing we say when we answer the phone. Like, oh. Okay. What's going on?
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
We also started doing this thing because we stay in hotels all the time with each other. Anytime one of us has to go to the other one's room, we think of a line we're going to say when we open the door.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I love watching stand-ups. I just watched two stand-ups this week. I watched Chelsea Handler's. I watched Burt Kreishner's. Honestly, anything on TikTok. TikTok is funny. Really funny. TikTok is the only social media app where when I log on to it, I never click my own profile and I never click my notifications.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I'm like, my story is so aesthetic today. My grid has never looked better. I'm commenting on everyone. Where TikTok, I really go to it to just laugh.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
She's been on TikTok. I see you commenting gassing up the girls.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
No, there's so many funny people. So many funny people. The creativity.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
I think there's more funny women on TikTok than there are men because I do feel like Women are competitive with each other, but there is a sense of like we feel safe with each other. So it's like I know that my TikTok is majority girls.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
So like when I put something out, I'm like, oh, it's the girls will think this is funny. So I think that's like we're guys. I don't know. They don't have that relationship with other guys.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
So I always have to kind of convince her a little bit. I feel like I'm the Tina. I didn't want to ask. Yeah. You think so?
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Because there's always a TikTok that Hannah's like, this is going to be so funny. And I'm like, ugh. Get away from me. Yeah, and whoever is the quieter one, right? Because, yeah.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Yeah. I've been trying to tell you that. You may look like one, but you're not.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
When we were on the Vanity Fair red carpet, we were the first to get our picture taken because we were literally there first. And so like me and Hannah are standing next to each other and we just notice all the cameras go immediately off of us.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And we're like, shoot, someone really famous must have walked in. They literally don't give a shit about us. It was Amy Poehler. It was a dog. It was a dog. I go, I don't know. Waited my whole life for this moment and I'm losing to a dog? Was it a famous dog? We don't know.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
We were like, that tail blowout is better than that.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Oh, that's such a her question. Two extremely difficult questions. We can get to them later, but they're hilarious questions. No. Easy done. Not pregnant and not having fun. Not having a good time. No, but I will say, yes, I'm having a great time. Like in the past year, Hannah and I, I feel like our careers have kind of taken a turn.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
But I would not be having this much fun if I wasn't doing it with Hannah. Like, I don't know if it would be the same experience at all.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Do you want to go or do you want me to go?
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Yeah, and I think we, like, obviously we didn't know anything about reality TV. So, like, we would watch it back and we would be like, oh, we feel like we were funnier, like, while we were filming. Or we feel like people aren't really getting our friendship.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
Because we'd be in the bathroom and we'd be, like, to the camera guy, like, hey, why don't you come with us? We're going to, like, really run a bit.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And we're like 28 years old. And we're like, so what's going to happen? to happen to us? Like, are we going to get married? Are we going to like start a business? Like what's going to happen? Like all the COVID thoughts. Are we going to live? And so we would FaceTime for like four hours a day and we'd be like, we're funny. Like this is funny. People would think we're funny.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And so then we were like, okay, let's just go on Instagram live. Do you remember when that was a thing?
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
we were going on. Sometimes we'd mix a cocktail. And so it started where we'd have like 500 people watching. Then the next night it was like 2,000. Then the next it was like 5,000. We were like, wait, what's going on? And we had no like... Structure.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And then... Nothing was happening every day. What were we possibly talking about?
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
And then the world kind of opened up and we were like, okay, I guess we'll make it a podcast. But like we had no, like going into it, we weren't like, we should start a podcast together. So it just kind of naturally happened.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
She goes, I'm not made for podcasting, babe. I was like, have you seen my bone structure? That's such an insult to me to start a brand. I remember having to explain to her what podcasting is.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
It's kind of crazy how that's taken over.
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner
We kind of always were like that. Like, oh, I have a friend. Because we were both new at the same time. So we already had that bond like that first day. And Hannah and I truly are so different in so many ways. But our humor is the exact same. So from the day we met, it was like, this is my best friend.
