Paige Woolen: The Internet Satire Paradox That Transforms Online Trolling Into Digital Empathy

Paige Woolen: The Internet Satire Paradox That Transforms Online Trolling Into Digital Empathy
I’ve tried a bunch of different paths ever since, but I’ve always come back to teaching guys how to not be so douchey.

We had the pleasure of talking with humorist Paige Woolen. Paige didn’t set out to become a digital provocateur, talk show host, or accidental chronicler of modern loneliness. But somewhere between a Pilates studio lost to Covid, a series of screenshots from her DMs, and a late-pandemic existential spiral in her parents’ backyard, the comedian and content creator carved out a corner of the internet for herself, one laced with sharp humor, unfiltered vulnerability, and a brazen willingness to say the quiet part out loud.

Woolen, who grew up in Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades, describes her early life as relatively stable until it wasn’t. Her childhood home, along with the Pilates studio she once ran, were both destroyed by fire. In the wake of that upheaval, and amid the isolating fog of the COVID-19 pandemic, Woolen found herself stuck, out of work, untethered, and unsure what came next. “I think I gained like 45 pounds,” she said. “Not the point, but I lost my business and all of my Palisadian clientele during that time.”

Then came a digital pivot. While scrolling through her phone, Woolen stumbled upon years’ worth of screenshots, DMs from men reacting to her Instagram posts, often in uninvited, explicit, or absurd ways. Her responses had always been laced with sarcasm and wit, so she began sharing the exchanges anonymously through an account called Dudes in the DM. The page quickly went viral, catalyzing a broader shift in her public persona. Without ever showing her face, Woolen had built a platform rooted in calling out online behavior with comedy, and at times, with compassion.

The account’s viral success would soon lead to a more visible presence online. As her following grew, Woolen fielded offers from production companies to develop shows in the vein of Cheaters, blending investigation and entertainment. One of her early viral moments came after a media outlet interviewed her about the DM experiment; by the next morning, she had gained hundreds of thousands of followers. “It was literally like I went to sleep one way and woke up and my whole life had changed,” she said.

Her relationship with fame has been both surreal and satirical. In one standout experience, she was asked last-minute to fly to Africa for a Maxim Australia shoot after another model fell ill. “I may have forged some vaccination documents,” she recalled. “I had a layover, a middle seat, I was sweaty, trying to fast to fit into a swimsuit.” Despite the chaos, the shoot went forward, and she would eventually be featured by Maxim twice.

But Woolen’s ambitions extend well beyond curated photoshoots. Her latest project, The Paige Uncaged Show, marks a leap into a new format: a late-night-style YouTube talk show that mixes monologues, characters, and games with raw comedic commentary on modern life. “It’s like I took an acid trip at a funeral,” she said. “Though I don’t take acid.” The show is filmed in a makeshift lemonade stand inspired by Lucy from Peanuts. The concept, she says, is a blend of satire, chaos, and sincerity, a mirror held up to the cultural absurdity of 2025, with the host standing squarely inside the frame.

The lemonade stand isn’t only a prop but a metaphor for Woolen’s DIY ethos. She conceptualized the show in a phone call with her mother, built the set in her garage, and paid for production out of pocket. “It’s been the most challenging thing I’ve done,” she admitted. “Following through has always been hard for me. But this one I actually finished.”

What makes Paige Uncaged distinctive is Woolen’s mix of high-energy absurdism with unexpectedly incisive takes on social dynamics. Her comedic lens often centers on gender politics, internet behaviors, and the loneliness she believes is endemic to modern dating culture. “I think guys hit on you less in person now because they’d rather be rejected through their phone,” she observed. “It’s like everyone is just adding people to a shopping cart they never check out.”

While she’s often seen as someone poking fun at men, especially through her Dudes in the DM account, Woolen says her intent is more restorative than punitive. “I’m not just trying to help them get laid,” she said of her male viewers. “I’m trying to help them feel less lonely.”

That blend of humor and heart, along with a steady stream of self-deprecating anecdotes, has become part of her signature voice. One story involves mistaking her housekeeper for an intruder and asking an Uber driver to storm her own home with a baseball bat, only to discover she had scheduled a cleaning in preparation for a date that never materialized. The Uber driver now works for her as a security guard.

Despite the laughs, Woolen often returns to themes of self-reflection and personal accountability. “At some point, I had to ask myself: Why do I keep choosing emotionally unavailable men?” she said. “Maybe the idea I want to spread is that… you might be the problem. Not in a shame-y way, but maybe in a look-in-the-mirror kind of way.”

It’s that willingness to admit imperfection, alongside an unapologetic embrace of plastic surgery, skincare rituals, chakra meditations, and a stubborn bulldog named Darla Mae, that defines the paradox of her public image: both carefully constructed and intentionally unraveled. “This body was made in a lab,” she quipped. “I don’t want to lie about it.”

For now, Woolen is betting on her own brand of chaos-as-clarity. Paige Uncaged drops new episodes every Tuesday night, streaming for anyone curious enough to join the circus. And whether she’s doling out “panic-free news,” roasting anonymous suitors, or meditating through a silicone-enhanced sense of self, Paige Woolen seems to know exactly who she is, even when she admits she’s still figuring it out.


Paige, it’s a delight and an honor to meet you. Before we dive in deep, our readers would love to learn about your personal origin story. Can you share with us the story of your childhood, how you grew up, and then the seeds for all the great things that have come afterwards?

Paige: Yes, of course. It’s an honor to meet you as well. I’m so excited for this bright and early morning interview. I grew up here in Los Angeles, in the Pacific Palisades actually, which has just been burned, which is devastating. My childhood home burned down, horrible devastation there. But that’s where I grew up. I had a Pilates studio there, which unfortunately also burned down.

I went to college for a little bit in D.C., then came home and worked in the Pilates studio until COVID hit. No one was working out during COVID. I think I gained like 45 pounds, not the point, but I lost my business and all of my Palisadian clientele during that time.

One day, I was sitting in my parents’ backyard during COVID, wondering what I was going to do with my life, besides start drinking at 9:00 in the morning, which I think maybe we all were… or at least me and my family were doing. I was scrolling through my camera roll and noticed that I had screenshot a lot of crazy DMs that guys had sent me. I’d respond to a lot of them just to troll them back a little.

I realized I’d been doing it for years. I always had kind of sexy Instagram photos, so I’d received that kind of attention. Honestly, I think girls who don’t even post that kind of content still get those messages now. I thought maybe if I posted these screenshots, I could help other girls who get bullied online or show guys how silly it looks. And girls too, girls also bully online.

So I started this account called Dudes in the DM, which was kind of my introduction into internet content creation. It wasn’t my face or anything, just screenshots of the messages and my responses. It kind of blew up overnight. The account is still called Dudes in the DM, and from there I got that excitement of being a content creator. I’ve tried a bunch of different paths ever since, but I’ve always come back to teaching guys how to not be so douchey.

Amazing. You probably have some amazing stories from the different projects you’ve been on, different places you’ve been to. Can you share with our readers one or two stories that most stand out in your mind from your professional life?

Paige: Yes. So, my professional life, my professional modeling life, a story or two that stands out that wouldn’t get me canceled or break an NDA… let me search in my big noggin.

I think one of the coolest stories is when I shot for Maxim Australia, and they were shooting in Africa. I wasn’t chosen initially, but then one girl got the flu, thank God, and dropped out. I was told like four hours before to pack a suitcase because I was going to Africa. I think, I don’t know if this is illegal, but I may have forged some vaccination documents, and suddenly I was on a trip to Africa.

I had a layover, a middle seat, I was sweaty, trying to fast to fit into a swimsuit. It was one of the most exhilarating 24 hours of my life. And thank God they edited the hell out of the images anyway, so I really didn’t need to fast. That was crazy. I ended up shooting for Maxim Australia twice. Love them, love everyone there. Great editing skills, by the way, may I say.

Another story from my content creator life that’s so fun is the first time I went super viral. I was helping women find out if their boyfriends would talk to an Instagram model. I had just been posting about it, and one guy called me and said, “Can I ask you a couple of questions?” I had no idea who he was. I was like, “Yeah, sure, I’ll talk to anyone. I’m lonely.”

He asked me a couple of questions. I went to sleep, and when I woke up, I was everywhere, every media outlet. I gained like 300,000 followers overnight. It was literally like I went to sleep one way and woke up and my whole life had changed.

That was before TikTok had that kind of everyday virality, so it felt huge. That was probably the craziest moment of my professional career.

It turned out he was an interviewer, for someone or something, and I didn’t really know what to think. I didn’t read the emails, which I should probably start learning to do. He asked if we could jump on a call, and I did. He just asked me straightforward, normal questions, like we’re doing now, about the story and what I thought about it.

Thank God I didn’t say anything too controversial. It was just like magic. After that, I had five production companies reach out to me to do a modern-day Cheaters show. But then COVID wiped every opportunity out. It was during that weird middle time when no one was filming, so it kind of died… but the memory lives on.

Great, great story. It’s been said that sometimes our mistakes can be our greatest teachers. Do you have a story of a humorous mistake that you made when you were first starting in your career, whether in Pilates or the other parts of your career, and the lesson that you learned from it? And nothing embarrassing, the goal of this question is not to be embarrassing, the goal is simply to share some vulnerability and then insights that you’ve learned.

Paige: Yes. Something comes to mind, not exactly professional, but definitely a personal story that taught me a lot. I go to Chargers games with my dad. He’s a big Chargers fan, bolt up, and, as father-daughter duos do, we drink a lot at the games.

I’m single, like pretty single, and I met a guy there. My dad’s actually a great wingman. So this guy comes up to us with shots, and I thought maybe I’d be taking this gentleman back to my house. My dad disappears, I don’t know where he goes, and I suddenly realize my house is a mess. Not gross, but like, milk out on the counter, stuff like that.

So I go to the bathroom and text my housekeeper, asking her if she can swing by and tidy up. I offered to pay her double, even triple. It took her about 20 minutes to respond, and during that time, I just stayed in the bathroom. I didn’t go back out to update the guy. She finally says yes. I come out… and he’s gone. No number, nothing.

Now I’m kind of drunk, can’t find my dad, and after the game, you know, it’s time for those bacon-wrapped hot dogs. I’m stranded, so I call an Uber. It’s about a 45-minute ride home, and by the time I get there, the alcohol has really set in. We pull up, and I see my front door is open and there’s a shadowy figure inside.

I panic, thinking someone broke in. The Uber driver, who I’ve never met, tells me to stay in the car. Then he gets out, goes to the trunk, and pulls out a bat. I’m thinking, I can’t let this guy go in alone and take on a robber, so I follow him. He kicks the door open more, walks in with the bat, and I’m right behind him.

We get inside, and I peek over his shoulder, and it’s my housekeeper. I completely forgot I had asked her to come clean because I thought I was going to hook up with this guy… and then didn’t.

So, the lesson? Maybe pace your drinking. Definitely get the guy’s number before disappearing into a bathroom for 20 minutes. But more than that, the Uber driver and I actually became friends. That was about three years ago, and now he works for me as a driver and security. He’s incredibly wise, and I’ve learned so much from him.

So yeah, I don’t know if that directly answers the question, but I definitely learned a lot that day.

What’s been the most challenging project or role you’ve taken on so far and why?

Paige: Honestly, the show I’m premiering on Tuesday at 8 p.m. has been the most challenging thing I’ve done. Going from just a concept, an idea I had while on the phone with my mom, to actually following through on it has always been something I’ve struggled with.

I had the idea, then found someone to come build it. But after that, it just kind of sat there, in my garage, actually, it’s right next to me now. Then came the writing process. I even went to therapy over it. Two different therapists, actually, because one hit on me, which is so illegal. He said, “I love you no matter what,” which I thought was weird. It made me feel like he was hitting on me. I don’t know, it just sounded off.

I also hired an acting coach, and through that, I realized I was using all of this as a form of avoidance, trying to do everything except actually sit down and try. Not to turn this into a therapy session, but yeah, I spent a lot of money on therapy and woodwork for this show that’s finally coming out on Tuesday. It’s been sitting here since, Alexis, what month? Like April? Yeah, April-ish. But better late than never.

The show is filmed at a lemonade stand. It’s a nod to the Charlie Brown lemonade stand with Lucy. The concept is kind of like a late-night talk show, but I’m talking to the men in the phone who need help from the girl, you know?

I think there’s a bit of a male loneliness epidemic going on, and instead of continuing to shame them, which, you know, is one type of content and no shade to anyone making it, I’m trying to approach it differently. Not to help them get laid, but to help them feel less lonely.

I’m holding a mirror up to their behavior while also sharing some of my own stories to maybe help them out a bit.

Tell us more about the show. Tell us why our readers have to watch it.

Paige: You have to watch it. If you’re a curious person, you should definitely check it out. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. It’s very different. It honestly feels like I took an acid trip, though I don’t take acid, but it’s like I’m at a funeral on an acid trip. If any of that intrigues you, and you’re curious, maybe you’ll want to tune in.

There are skits, stories, and interactive games, which I think makes it fun and different. I keep seeing the same stuff, people with a big microphone, everyone talking in monotone, just complaining, and I thought, why not try something different and see how it goes? That was kind of the idea behind it.

Amazing. So let’s talk a bit about the loneliness epidemic. Why do you think we have it, and what could be done to address it?

Paige: I think, ironically, our phones are the biggest problem. I’ve noticed, as I’ve grown up, maybe it’s just getting older, but I think guys hit on you less in person because they’d rather be rejected through their phone. Plus, they have so many options right there. It’s like a shopping cart, you can add all these girls to your cart. And same with girls and guys. You can add all these people to your cart, then check out or just delete your cart.

We get those little hits of validation, so people aren’t putting themselves out there in person as much. And if you know you can always find a taller guy, a guy with bigger muscles, or a girl with bigger implants, it takes the weight off of forming real, genuine connections in the moment. I think that’s causing a lot of the problems.

It also feels like guys and girls are at war right now. We’re all like that Spider-Man meme where everyone’s just pointing fingers at each other, you know the one?

And I just think that if we joined forces, we could actually love each other, in a consensual, monogamous way, if that’s what people want.

Great. So you’re saying basically we should try to do less dating on apps and more dating in person?

Paige: Yeah. Goodbye, Hinge and Bumble partnerships, if those were ever going to be a thing for me. But yeah, I do think we should get off our phones more.

My screen time, by the way, is so embarrassing, so I’m the biggest hypocrite in the world. But when it comes to dating, I think phones make it really tough. I can go flaunt, like, peacock around Erewhon and Equinox for an hour and no one will even make eye contact. It’s just a crazy world we live in.

I think you’re absolutely right. Men are afraid. Aside from the phones, they’re just afraid of being accused of something, of being Me-Tooed. There are so many things to worry about these days, and it’s not just a private moment anymore. With you, it could go viral.

Paige: Yeah, wow. And honestly, I’m so cock-blocked by my own account, Dudes in the DM, even though it’s all anonymous. I wipe out everyone’s names, but a celebrity or someone will message me, then realize I have that account and go, “Oh shit, don’t put me on blast.” I’m like, you didn’t even say anything funny. You have to be interesting for me to post it. Or they’ll immediately block me after they see I run the account. So I’m double cock-blocked.

But yeah, there’s all kinds of things people are worried about now. People are filming everyone in public, and then there’s the Coldplay scandal… I mean, honestly, I might just die alone and peacefully, because it might be easier.

I’m sure you’ll find somebody nice. Actually, I want to tell you my solution to screen time. I upgraded my smartphone to what I call a “wise phone.” As a journalist, I get 500 email pitches a day for stories, and it’s just too much. So I said, you know what? I’m getting a phone with zero apps. That’s it.

Paige: Nice. That’s really trendy right now.

And now I have so much more free time. So much more head space. I can’t be an Instagram star, but I have much better mental health.

Paige: Yeah, I like to say I’m trading my mental health for Instagram. It’s a trade, for sure. I’m jealous. I might just quit and get your phone too.

So your only career, your only livelihood, is from Instagram? Like, if Instagram got deleted or wiped out, you wouldn’t have a job?

Paige: Kind of…Someone took down my Instagram, and they were very powerful. I had no Instagram for about three months, and basically, all my income dropped.

These days, there are so many girls out there. If you’re gone for 24 hours, there’s someone else with smaller pores and a bigger butt. So when I was off Instagram for those three months, my income just kept going down. Thankfully, it’s back now, but yeah, no Instagram for me would feel like not existing in the world.

Wow. You mentioned another important point. Aside from dating apps, there seems to be this war between men and women now. And we’re meant to be together. We’re not created to be at war. What could be done to harmonize relationships between young men and young women?

Paige: Remember during COVID when all the celebrities were singing Imagine? Definitely not that. Definitely not that.

But honestly, in a world where stories, clickbait, and virality are basically currency, it’s hard to imagine unity coming from something like a peace treaty. Who wants to read about men and women getting along, you know?

That said, you do still see stories of couples who’ve been together forever, and I think if we gave more attention to those kinds of stories, maybe that would help. Actually, I don’t really know what we could do. We might be screwed. No, I’m kidding.

Maybe we all just need to watch the show. One of my goals with it is to have couples on and really dive into their issues, explore what’s going on with both couples and single people, and get to the root of it. So maybe it’s a story we’ll figure out after season one.

You’re saying after season one, we’ll kind of figure out what could be done to create those 50-year marriages.

Paige: Yes, yes.

Is that the ideal you want to strive for? Do you think you’d like to live in a world where people are in love for 50 years?

Paige: I mean, I’ve got to be really honest with you. If you want that, and you find someone where it works, that’s really nice. But I’m divorced. I got divorced after one year, I don’t even think it was a full year, because I realized this wasn’t the right person for me.

So if you can find that person and build a healthy, loving relationship, that’s great. Not that we all want that, but it definitely sounds nice. But also, what sounds nice is my situation, which is doing whatever you want, all the time. So it’s like, you can’t really lose either way.

But I do want to help the lonely people, the chronically lonely ones who don’t want to feel that way anymore. Those are my people.

That’s great. Okay, this is our signature question. Paige, you’ve been blessed with a lot of success. Looking back to when you first started your career, can you share five things you’ve learned now that would have been really helpful to know then?

Paige:

  1. Number one. Plastic surgeons lie to you, okay? Whatever downtime plastic surgeons tell you, you need to triple that. So if the plastic surgeon says you’ll be down for one week, you’ll actually be down for three. That’s very important information. That’s number one. It came to mind because it’s true.
  2. Number two: you’re not ugly. You’re not ugly. You’re just in bad lighting. Lighting will completely change how you see yourself. Just find the sunlight, put your phone in front of it, and stand behind the phone. I don’t think I would have made so many plastic surgery mistakes if my apartment faced the sun from a different angle. I just don’t think I needed that much lip filler. You just need better lighting. I know we’ve got two looks-based ones so far, not ideal, but it’s the truth. It’s the truth. It’s LA, okay? (Laughs)
  3. Number three: no one cares. That sounds negative, but it’s actually freeing. You’re way more concerned with yourself than anyone else is. I posted something on my YouTube, some sit-down comedy, and I was so nervous. I was holding back, worrying what people would think. Then I posted it, and no one… I mean, no one cared. It was fine. No one’s going to show up at your house and harass you. I mean, I’ve had that, but those were boyfriends. But really, it doesn’t matter. No one cares that much about what you’re putting out. Just post it and move on. I’ve spent so many months staring at things, being hypercritical, and it just doesn’t matter. The more you do it, the better you feel. That’s something I wish I had known. Don’t worry so much. That’s a better way to say it: don’t worry so much.
  4. Number four: being openly communicative with your family about the direction you’re going in will save you a lot of stress on your journey. I’m on OnlyFans. I told my parents beforehand. They were loving and accepting. I’ve seen it go sideways for other people. That’s not to say you have to do what your family wants, but just letting them know helps. I post in bikinis. I tell all my family to mute me, including that creepy uncle, because I’m like, “You don’t want to see that.” So being upfront about what they might see is helpful. I’ll even say to my dad, “Is it okay if I say we black out and you’re like a wingman?” And he’s like, “Yeah, party on.” So being open with your family about your work and image really helps.
  5. Number five: don’t listen to anybody but yourself. When it comes to opinions, I tell everyone around me, maybe this isn’t the healthiest, but I say, “I’m not solution-oriented right now, and I don’t want your opinion. I just need you to laugh when I pinch you and nod.” It sounds kind of abusive, but really, if too many people get in your head about what you’re doing, saying things like “maybe do this” or “you look weird here” or “maybe edit that”, your brain gets so congested. It delays everything. It slows down your process by 100 times.

Can you share with our readers the self-care routines that you do to help your body, mind, and heart thrive?

Paige: Yes. I’m sure I have to mention plastic surgery because I’ve had so much of it. I also have a 25-step skincare routine, but honestly, it’s all lasers. We’re just being honest here, people. So yes, a lot of plastic surgery.

I listen to chakra-clearing meditations in the morning to help ground myself. And the shower is where I get most of my ideas. I realized it’s because I’m away from my phone. I used to think I had magical shower water or that I was being visited by a higher power. I even told my friends and family about it. But really, it’s just me being disconnected from my phone, which frees up my mind.

I’ll draw on the shower glass with ideas, and I talk to myself in there. So: chakra-clearing meditations, plastic surgery, and talking to myself in the shower.

I also weightlift with a trainer who’s funny and fun. When I don’t show up, he gently bullies me into coming. I told him the other day, “I want a workout for a 99-year-old. Maybe we just do sign language. I don’t even want to move.” And he was like, “Okay, just show up.” He’s been really helpful.

And I have an English Bulldog puppy named Darla Mae. She’s just getting out of the adolescent stage, she’s about a year and a half. She was evil. She used to try to bite my implants. I actually thought she popped one once. But she’s growing out of it now, and we cuddle in the mornings, which really helps.

You’re really hysterical. Have you ever done stand-up comedy?

Paige: I tried it once. I did sit-down comedy, and it was… pretty bad. I even added a laugh track, and it still didn’t land. But maybe if I started smoking weed or something, there are just so many thoughts in here, you know? So many thoughts.

That’s great. So when you said plastic surgery, was that a joke, or are you actually recommending it for our readers as a way to thrive?

Paige: I was serious. No, I’m not recommending it as a solution to a problem, but I do want to be honest about it. Look, I went to an all-girls private Catholic school in Bel Air, not that that’s an excuse, just sharing information. I think I genuinely like it. I think I’m just a freak for it.

I’m not recommending it because it’s like getting a new car. It feels shiny and exciting for a bit, and then later you’re like, “Did I really need that BBL?” I don’t think I did. But I want to mention it because it’s part of the truth.

I’m not someone who posts gym selfies and says, “Look what working out did for me.” No, this is like 85% silicone. I’m not promoting skincare either. This body was made in a lab, you know?

I think your honesty is very refreshing. I’ve interviewed almost a thousand people, and no one’s ever said that before. I’m sure you’re not the only person, though.

Paige: Yeah. It’s funny because when I walk, you can kind of tell. It would be so awkward for me to lie about it. I just don’t want people thinking that if you go to the gym, you’ll get this body. I don’t want to lie about my body. Now, everyone else, go make that subscription money off of your BBL and say it’s ankle weights. You go girl. But for me, I just can’t do that. I want to be real about it.

That’s great. So, did you stop doing Pilates?

Paige: I do Pilates. I do Solidcore, but it’s hard. It’s so hard. And in LA, they’re all so competitive. It’s intense.

It almost feels like… no, “abuse” isn’t the right word, but it’s just really intense. My old Pilates studio was more traditional and chill, with older ladies. But it’s a great workout. It really is.

So this is our final aspirational question. Paige, because of your amazing work and the platform you’ve built, you are a person of enormous influence. If you could spread an idea or inspire a movement that would bring the most good to the most people, what would that be?

Paige: It’s going to be controversial. I want to tell people {potentially, if my publicist clears this) that actually, you might be the problem.

I think so many people right now are just pointing fingers: “That person did this, that person did that.” But what about you? Let’s look inward a little and ask, “What am I doing that’s contributing to this?”

For example, I keep picking emotionally unavailable men. Every guy I pick is unavailable, unavailable, unavailable. And at some point, I have to ask, “Why do I keep choosing emotionally unavailable men over and over again?”

So maybe a nicer way of saying “you’re the problem” is self-reflection. Figuring out why we’re in certain situations, especially if they’re negative, could really help, instead of always blaming the person across from you.

We’ll see if that flies.

It’s great. It’s brilliant. Just for clarification, when you say emotionally unavailable, do you mean men who don’t listen? Who aren’t good listeners?

Paige: No, they listen. They just don’t call me. They call me in three-week intervals. So I guess they’re emotionally and physically just… not there. They’re just not there, physically or emotionally.

This is what we call our matchmaker question. We’re very blessed that prominent leaders in entertainment and business read this column, and maybe we could connect you. Is there a person in the world, or in the U.S., with whom you’d like to collaborate or have a power lunch? We could tag them on social media, and maybe something will come of it.

Paige: Honestly, I’d love to connect with my fellow Paiges. There’s Paige DeSorbo, who’s been a pioneer in being who she is. Then there’s Paige Lorenze, who’s absolutely killing it in that space. And of course, Paige Bueckers, the basketball Paige.

I’d love to have a “Paige Think Tank” and just over-Paige the world. I think that would be cool.

We’ll try our best to get their attention. Even if they don’t respond, it’ll be out there permanently, in internet ink, and it’ll somehow percolate down.

You mentioned a couple of times that you’re single. Are you hoping for readers to reach out to try and court you?

Paige: Yeah. And if they try and it doesn’t happen… I mean, I get a lot of guys reaching out hoping to get featured on Dudes in the DMs. I’ve seen it all. Truly.

But yeah, of course. You never know. Love is blind. Didn’t Netflix prove that? Actually, no. I think everyone on that show fails. Love is… love is something. But sure, why not?

So either way, you win. Either you find love or you get good material for Dudes in the DMs.

Paige: Yes, exactly. Yes.

Beautiful. How can our readers continue to follow your work? How could they support you in any way or find anything you offer?

Paige: Yes, I’m Paige Uncaged on Instagram and YouTube, that’s it. Paige Uncaged. Hopefully TikTok again one day. I got banned because my chest is large, but we’re working on it.

My show is releasing next week on YouTube. Every Tuesday at 8 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, a new episode of The Paige Uncaged Show will drop. I haven’t started yet, but I plan to stream after the episodes as well.

So yes, every Tuesday at 8 p.m. PST, Paige Uncaged on YouTube.

Amazing. Well, Paige, it’s been so delightful meeting you, really. I wish you continued success, good health, and blessings. I hope we can do this again next year.

Paige: Yeah, thank you so much. I had so much fun. This was really fun. Thank you for listening to me.

It’s my pleasure.
